Russian Leader Vladimir Putin tells his top Generals to “Prepare for Armageddon”

Vladimir Putin has for a long time now been the Russian strong man so many have suspected as being the Man of Sin, one of the many suspects for the correct identity of the Antichrist that I personally have had an eye on. However, as there has been no one who has come to the fore and fulfilled the prophecies of neither the treaty of Daniel, nor the temple, there is no one alive today on the planet that we can definitely pin point as being the Son of Perdition.

However, his latest statement indicating that he may be looking for an all out stoush somewhere along the line personally makes that interest in Putin as a suspect for Antichrist somewhat heightened. After all, the Antichrist is a warmonger who seeks the annihilation of humankind through an all out war.

Then, what we have going on with Putin as he makes statements such as what has been mentioned in the following cut and paste article fits into that category.

The Antichrist is a Jew. Putin is a Jew. The number of the Antichrist is alleged to equal 666, and so if we were to take the formula of A=6, and B=12 and use that formula to go right through the alphabet and then apply the letters to Putin and then add them up we can well note that it totals 666. The formula is an old Barry Smith trick. The Antichrist is the King of the North. There is nowhere here on the earth that is further North that readily comes to mind other than Russia. The Antichrist goes into exile. Putin, banished to the sidelines as the Prime Minister of Russia then just recently reinstated as the President of Russia, fits into the category of a fatal wound being healed. There are numerous ancient artifacts which have allege to show the Antichrist, all bearing an uncanny resemblance to Putin, He would like to set up a Eurasian Union sometime is 2013 with himself as its head, and so the list goes on and on.

Quote: A grim Federal Security Services (FSB) report on Prime Minister Putin’s plan to meet China’s leader Hu Jintao [both pictured top photo left] in Beijing next week warns that both Russian and Chinese military forces are being placed on their ‘highest alert’ in anticipation of a massive land invasion believed being planned by the United States of both the Middle East and Central Asia.

The plans for this “Total Global War” the Americans are preparing to launch were first revealed to China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) by the former Blackwater mercenary Bryan Underwood who is currently being held by US authorities for spying and which we reported on in our 4 October report titled “China Warns Russia Of Coming American “Great Event.”

Within hours of Putin’s reading of the coming US plans for Total Global War, this report says, he wrote a rare article in the Izvestia daily outlining a grand project to integrate post-Soviet states into closer cooperation, scheduled an emergency trip to China to meet with Hu, and ordered the FSB to notify China’s MSS of the arrest and detention of their spy Tun Sheniyun who was captured last year for attempting to steal sensitive information on Russia’s most powerful anti-aircraft system.

As we had detailed in our previously mentioned report, the “New Great Game” moves being planned by the Americans that is striking fear into both Russia and China includes:

1.) The deliberate implosion of both the US and EU economies in order to destroy the Global Financial System that has been in place since the ending of World War II

2.) The launching of a massive conventional war by the US and EU on the North American, African and Asian Continents to include the Middle East

3.) During this all-out war the deliberate releasing of bio-warfare agents meant to kill off millions, if not billions, of innocent civilians

4.) At the height of this war the US and its allies will sue for peace and call for a new global order to be established in order to prevent the total destruction of our planet.

This past week an unidentified source within the US Department of Defense (DOD) further warned that the Obama regime was preparing for a massive “tank-on-tank” war and that US military forces are “expecting something conventional, and big, coming down the pipe relatively soon.”

To how close this war may be the FSB in their report states that it will be “much sooner than later” as the Americans have pre-positioned in Iraq nearly 2,000 of their M1 Abrams main battle tanks, have pre-positioned another 2,000 of them in Afghanistan, and between the Middle East and Asia have, likewise, put into these war theaters tens-of-thousands of other typed armored vehicles.

The “final piece” for the activation of this massive armored force, standing poised like a dagger at the heart of both Asia and the Middle East, the FSB says, is the call for a “Full Mobilization” of over 1.5 million American reserve forces which can occur at “at a moments notice” as the US is currently at war and needs no further authorization from its Congress to expand their areas of operation.

Important to note about the American plan for global domination through massive warfare is that it is not really a secret, and as (curiously) revealed on the tenth anniversary of the 11 September attacks upon the United States when the US National Security Archive released a memo written by former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in September 2001 wherein he warned “If the war does not significantly change the world’s political map, the US will not achieve its aim.”

To what the “aim” of the United States is as their war against the world has now entered its 10th year, the FSB says, is to prevent “at all costs” the implosion of the US Dollar as the main reserve currency of the present global economic system before the West’s envisioned “New World Order” can be established.

The first threat to the Americans “master plan” for global hegemony came in November 2000 when the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein quit accepting US Dollars for oil and, instead, stated his country would only accept Euros. In less than 10 months the US was attacked and used that as an excuse to topple Hussein and reestablish the US Dollar as the world’s main reserve currency.

Interesting to note is the failure of Libya’s former leader Gaddafi’s plan to introduce the gold dinar, a single African currency that would serve as an alternative to the US Dollar and allow African nations to share the wealth, but which like Iraq’s Hussein “plan” brought a swift and brutal invasion by the Americans and their Western allies to keep it from happening.

The only nation that has successfully abandoned the US Dollar is Iran, who since February 2009 abandoned all American currency opting instead to value their oil and gas in Euros. Iran, however, and unlike oil rich Iraq and Libya, has not been attacked due to the Iranians having acquired from Ukraine between 6-10 nuclear armed X-55 missiles (range of 3,000km [2,000 miles]) in 2005. [Note: Former Ukraine President Viktor Yushchenko stated that the missiles sold to Iran did not contain their nuclear tips, a statement disputed by the FSB who states they were armed and “ready to fire.”]

This FSB report further states that both Putin and Hu were “enraged” by the deception of the West in regards to Libya, who after being given “absolute assurances” by the Obama regime that they weren’t planning an invasion, broke their word and did it anyway.

Russian and China, in turn, stopped the West’s plan for another war this week by their vetoing the US-backed plan in the United Nations Security Council to turn Syria into another Libya. So angry did the Americans become that their furious UN envoy Susan Rice stormed out of the meeting after the West didn’t get what it wanted.

Even worse for the West’s war plan against Syria was its President warning this week that if his nation was attacked by NATO he would cause to be fired hundreds of missiles into Israel’s most populated city of Tel Aviv within six hours, which would, of course, bring about a catastrophic nuclear response.

And in a preemptory move to counter the planned American blitzkrieg into Central Asia and Pakistan from Afghanistan, Indian Army Chief General VK Singh warned yesterday that thousands of Chinese military forces have now moved into Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir joining an estimated 11,000 more of them believed to have entered that region in the past year.

To the coming deliberate implosion by the US of the global economy, the FSB further says in their report, it now appears “certain” after a new report emerged this past from Philippa Malmgren, a former economics adviser to President George W. Bush, stating that Germany was preparing to abandon the Euro and has ordered the printing of Deutsche Marks to replace it.

Most frightening of everything in this FSB report, however, is the reply Putin gave to Russia’s top generals yesterday when asked what preparations should be made and he answered…. “Prepare for Armageddon.” End of Quote

Graphically uplifted from the Shroud of Turin - is this the face of the Antichrist?

There is literally dozens and dozens of websites on the Internet with a story to tell relative to the Shroud of Turin.

Nevertheless, it still needs to be remembered that the shroud itself lies in the hands of the Catholic Church to this day, and perhaps that is where it really belongs.

If it were indeed the real deal all that the Shroud really represents is the face or likeness of Christ as he appeared on the earth. However, it does not necessarily represent the image (or likeness) of what Christ may look like after having been transfigured up into Heaven.

The attached photograph represents an image graphically lifted from the Shroud. There is no one to this day that has been able to dispute, nor verify, the accuracy of the image on the Shroud as being the correct likeness of Christ.

As that is the case, there is then no real proof therefore to say that it is indeed genuine. That is not to say that I am making a judgement either way as to its authenticity, as I certainly am no expert on the Shroud of Turin.

However, the image of the earthly Christ on the cloth of the Shroud bears an uncanny resemblance, (or is indeed a twin) to the evil one who is going to impersonate, or be a substitute for him, here on the earth - the Antichrist. That is the allegation by so many.

Now, take a long hard look at the photograph, and note well that the right eye on the image.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the right eye on the image remains darkened.

As that is the case, and remembering what we were told in the scriptures of the Antichrist having one eye completely darkened, what we then maybe looking at it a one-eyed Christ, or an image of the Antichrist, lifted from the Shroud of Turin.

-- Comparative to the supposed Rapture of the Church, the Second Coming of Christ --

As an adjunct to the previous article relating to the timing of the Day of the Lord, it needs to be noted that even though I have stated the Day of the Lord can commonly be known as the Rapture of the Church the two events are one in the same.

Nevertheless, that statement still does not assume there is anyone who knows when the Day of the Lord is going to take place.

As that is the case, then there may be some that may still run with the pre, mid or post theories relative to the timing for what they may incorrectly call the Rapture, when instead what they really should be calling it is the Day of the Lord.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Day of the Lord and the timing for the Rapture is one in the same event, then the Day of the Lord cannot take place until all of the prophecies are fullfilled.

Accordingly, if the Lord were to return before all of the prophecies concerning the end times were brought to pass, (including the arrival of the Antichrist) that would make the word of God untrue, including his plan for the salvation of humanity.

Nevertheless, that statement still does not assume there is anyone who knows when the Day of the Lord is going to take place as I have said above.

Therefore, there then can be no one who can run with either of the theories relating to what they call the timing of the rapture. Simply, the Lord cannot return back here on the earth until the seven years after the signing of the covenant of Daniel, AFTER, all of the prophecies mentioned in the last book of the Bible, the book of the Apocalypse, were realized.

Nevertheless, that statement still does not assume there is anyone who knows when the Day of the Lord is going to take place as I have said above.

Accordingly, the idea of a pre tribulation theory relating to the day of the Lord is just so ridiculous to contemplate that it is not even really worth the mention.

However, as the correct identity of the Antichrist is revealed at the signing of the covenant of Daniel, 1260 days later he moves into a newly built temple and from there proclaims himself God reincarnate here on the earth, there still maybe something in the mid tribulation theory of the Rapture as the Lord destroys him at his second coming.

Nevertheless, that statement still does not assume there is anyone who knows when the Day of the Lord is going to take place as I have said above.

I use the term Rapture in this instance in place of the correct terminology, the Day of the Lord, for the want of a better word and because there are just so many Christians that have been brainwashed with this term that it is just not funny anymore.

The supposed Rapture of the Church and the Resurrection of the Dead occur simultaneously on the Day of the Lord

There is something that has been of great concern for a number of years now, something Christian's state as being a reality, when there is nothing that is ever mentioned relative to it in the word of God - the Rapture of the Church.

If one is to read the word of God right through from cover to cover, (as I have numerous times) the word rapture never ever gets a mention.

Then, who can those who believe the Bible teaches a Rapture when it is quite clear to all one and asunder that it does not. I have heard all of the verses that allege a rapture of the church, yet, there is no proof that the suggested verses are symptomatic of anything of the like.

Then there are those who are prudent enough to suggest they are able to identify the timing of this alleged rapture, whether that be pre, mid or post.

Of course, there is a lot of debate and argument over the timing of the rapture, and why would not there be a great deal of argument over something that is not there to begin with. Rather than the rapture of the church, the Bible teaches the Resurrection of the Dead on the Day of the Lord, and this is not to be confused with the Rapture of the Church.

As that is the case, how then is it that those same persons are able to predict the timing for the return of the Lord when there is no one who knows neither the hour nor the day.

The dead in Christ shall precede those who are alive and together we shall meet the Lord in the air AT THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD - NOT BEFORE....

Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

There are those who believe they are suddenly going to float away up into the clouds and into Heaven sometime before, or mid way through, or at the end of the seven years, relative to the signing of the covenant of Daniel, after which the seventh week of Daniel begins. That is dead set wrong unless that event is associated with the coming of the Lord - but not before.

In other words, there are those who have been brainwashed into believing the Day of the Lord/the Resurrection of the Dead, and the Rapture of the Church are two separate events, when there are one in the same.

Underground Solar Flare shelters in the USA - with Jesse Ventura

For starters, there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that he is a Christian, nor is there any evidence whatsoever to suggest that he not a Christian. Therefore, I am not a proponent or opponent of the fellow mentioned in the attached link, Conspiracy theories with Jesse Ventura 2012.

As that is the case, then the only motivation for DVDs such as this one is to make money. Accordingly, my best advice therefore for anyone viewing the DVD is to do so with an open mind as he certainly does not claim, nor should he claim, to have all the answers to all of the questions.

To house and shelter the global elite in the case of a major event of solar flares alleged to strike the earth sometime in 2012 (as if they would know the timing of such an event anyway) the attached DVD is part 1 of 6 and purportedly shows underground shelters being built at various locations around the USA especially designed for the aforementioned purpose.

Those who are wealthy enough to be able to afford one of these shelters will then be able to go and hide underground while the rest of mankind fries to death in the intense heat that is sure to result as a consequence of the enormous heat that would strike the earth once these flares hit the surface.

Those who are proposing such an event is going to occur, even if it were true, would not be able to escape the consequences of the real end time event of the major earthquake that is going to come upon the earth right before the Lord returns.

Accordingly, those who are sheltering in one of these underground bunkers would have more or less sealed their own fates once the aforementioned earthquake hits and tons and tons of debris that is sitting right on top of their stupid heads comes tumbling down.

Being buried alive would be a much more horrible and severe fate than having to stay on the top of the earth with the probability of escape being much greater than having tons of debris piled on top on one's head.

It therefore seems that even though those who rule the globe have all the power and money they would ever need what they do not have is not know the Lord Jesus Christ saviour and deliverer. Consequently, those concerned are not Bible readers. As that is the instance, the fates of their souls would be sealed, just as their bodies will be sealed in their underground bunkers forever and a day and that is a very long time, with no escape possible whatsoever.

The Lord is allowing these bunkers to be built so that those evil men who are running the globe now can go and hide there. Because of their actions, those same bunkers will be nothing more than coffins that the Lord has allowed to be built to put them in.

REVELATION CHAPTER 6 - WITH THE EMPHASIS BEING ON VERSE 12 RELATING TO THE EARTHQUAKE.
1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

With the respective appointments of the Italian and Greek Prime Ministers were the prophecies concerning Revelation chapter 13 fulfilled?

What I am about to mention in the attached article may spell the end of what I have been saying in the past relative to certain individuals being described as the two beasts of Revelation?

However, such is the nature of the prophecies unfolding in this modern day and age, that what we thought may have been correct yesterday may not necessarily be correct tomorrow.

Some could describe what I am about to report in the following article as being farfetched, ridiculous, rubbish and just plain crazy, and those who are going to make such evaluations are more than likely correct? But are they, that is the burning question?

However, as a student of Bible prophecy, I am on the constant lookout for newsworthy events that tie in with the word of God because those news items may be the essence of prophecy fullfilled.

Even if some of those things may seem to be nothing more than madness at first glance, those bits and pieces may still be worthwhile mentioning just in case they happen to be somewhere near the truth.

If we were to study Revelation, Chapter 13 it is worthwhile to note the chronological order for the appearance of the two beasts is the political beast first, the Antichrist, and then the religious/ banker beast secondly.

That is what seems to be the case, but what if the two beasts appeared at the same time?

Consequently, if they both appear at the same time and then work in unison with each other comparative to the economic downturn within the EU that could suggest that what we were seeing may be the arrival of the Antichrist and the False Prophet in tandem.

Those EU leaders who are desperate enough may place their complete trust in the Antichrist and the False Prophet to lift the EU of its current economic downturn.

That in turn may mean exactly the same set of circumstances that put Hitler into power in Germany may then exist within in the EU if the two aforementioned can achieve success in areas where others have failed.

Only this time, the Antichrist and the False Prophet will have enormously more power than Hitler could ever dream of, as they will have conquered the EU not through military might, but through the economy.

I find it to be rather interesting that the new leaders of Italy and Greece, Mario Monti and Lucas Papademos, consecutively, have arisen on the 11-11-11 with the number 11 being an oculist number and a favourite of the Illuminati. Italy is the main stay of the old Roman Empire with Greece being the cradle of civilization.

Could it be that the Antichrist and the False Prophet have arisen simultaneously, and not separately, as I for one thought was going to be the case?

Furthermore, was the Eurozone economic crisis deliberately caused so that the Antichrist could be brought forth so that he is made out to be "the one" who was going to lift the EU out of the economic quagmire into which they were sinking?

Both Sarkozy and Van Rompuy seemed to have failed to stop the rot setting in, and now these two have come forth. What are your thoughts on this?

Mario Monti was an ex EU Commissioner so that analogy fits the political side for the identifying the Antichrist, while Lucas Papademos is the ex vice president of the ECB which fits the analogy for identifying the False Prophet who forces everyone to take a mark for buying and selling.

See these attached links from this site for further information on both of these men and their respective appointments.

Greece's new (unelected) Prime Minister, Lucas Papademos, was Vice President of the European Central Bank from 2002 until 2010.

Ahead of his appointment as the New Greek PM, Lucas Papademos prepares for a battle royal to rectify the nation's current financial difficulties.

Because of the debt crisis, Mario Monti receives an appointment as the new (unelected) PM-designate to Italy.

Greece's new (unelected) Prime Minister, Lucas Papademos, was Vice President of the European Central Bank from 2002 until 2010.

The European Central Bank is the institution of the European Union (EU) that administers the monetary policy of the 17 EU Eurozone member states. It is thus one of the world's most important central banks. The bank was established by the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1998, and is headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. The current President of the ECB is Mario Draghi, former governor of the Bank of Italy.

The primary objective of the European Central Bank is to maintain price stability within the Eurozone, which is the same as keeping inflation low. The Governing Council defined price stability as inflation of around 2%. (Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices) Unlike, for example, the United States Federal Reserve Bank, the ECB has only one primary objective with other objectives subordinate to it.

The key tasks of the ECB are to define and implement the monetary policy for the Eurozone, to conduct foreign exchange operations, to take care of the foreign reserves of the European System of Central Banks and promote smooth operation of the financial market infrastructure under the Target payments system and being currently developed technical platform for settlement of securities in Europe (TARGET2 Securities). Furthermore, it has the exclusive right to authorise the issuance of euro banknotes. Member states can issue euro coins but the amount must be authorised by the ECB beforehand (upon the introduction of the euro, the ECB also had exclusive right to issue coins).

On 9 May 2010, the 27 member states of the European Union agreed to incorporate the European Financial Stability Facility. The EFSF’s mandate is to safeguard financial stability in Europe by providing financial assistance to Eurozone Member States.

The bank must also co-operate within the EU and internationally with third bodies and entities. Finally it contributes to maintaining a stable financial system and monitoring the banking sector. The latter can be seen, for example, in the bank's intervention during the 2007 credit crisis when it loaned billions of euros to banks to stabilise the financial system.

Although the ECB is governed by European law directly and thus not by corporate law applying to private law companies, its set-up resembles that of a corporation in the sense that the ECB has shareholders and stock capital. Its capital is five billion euro which is held by the national central banks of the member states as shareholders. The initial capital allocation key was determined in 1998 on the basis of the states' population and GDP, but the key is adjustable. Shares in the ECB are not transferable and cannot be used as collateral.

Throughout 2011 various member states of the European Union showed themselves to be increasingly unable to meet financial commitments. At its heart, the crisis of the European currency unit or ECU is similar to almost any other financial crisis, including the crisis of 2008. Key concepts to understanding the crisis include collateral, assets, and liabilities.

The bank is based in Frankfurt, the largest financial centre in the Eurozone. Its location in the city is fixed by the Amsterdam Treaty along with other major institutions. In the city, the bank currently occupies Frankfurt's Eurotower until its purpose-built headquarters are built.

Ahead of his appointment as the New Greek PM, Lucas Papademos prepares for a battle royal to rectify the nation's current financial difficulties.

Greece's new (unelected) Prime Minister Lucas Papademos (right) will seek to take advantage of a rare political truce on Monday to push through austerity and radical reform aimed at restoring the country's tattered credibility and staving off bankruptcy.

After Greece's two biggest parties put aside a bitter dispute to give him the job last week, Papademos will launch a parliamentary debate on Monday evening that will culminate in a Wednesday confidence vote in his cabinet.

He will then attend the Eurogroup meeting of European finance ministers in Brussels on Thursday; state television reported he would be expected to outline the country's draft budget for next year before seeking its debate in parliament as early as Friday.

Increasing the pressure will be inspectors from the "troika" of the International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank and European Union who begin arriving in Athens on Monday.

"It will most likely be a short visit to get in touch with the new government," a source close to the troika told Reuters. "A larger mission, which will examine policies more thoroughly, is expected to come in December."

Papademos succeeds George Papandreou, whose proposal to hold a referendum on the country's bailout terms prompted EU leaders to raise the threat of a Greek exit from the currency bloc.

With both Papandreou's Socialist party and its rival, the conservative former opposition New Democracy party in the coalition, Papademos is expected to easily clear the confidence hurdle.

However, all eyes will be on the position of New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras, who has given only tepid backing to the unity government and Greece's second bailout worth 130 billion Euros ($180 billion).

EU monetary affairs chief Olli Rehn has warned the EU and IMF will not release 8 billion Euros of loans Greece needs by mid-December without written assurances from all parties that they will back the measures, but Samaras has said he will sign no pledge under external pressure.

Greece must secure the tranche by mid December to finance bond payments of 8.645 billion Euros at the end of the year, according to Reuter's data.

Hot on the heels of the new Greek government, Italy raced on Sunday to appoint an emergency administration after Silvio Berlusconi resigned to tackle a crisis that has quickly superseded Greece as the main worry for markets.
Above the fray

With his experience as a former ECB vice president and above the fray of Athenian politics, Papademos's arrival has been hailed both by Greeks and by EU leaders who had lambasted the country's failure to enforce tax payments, sell state firms, raise taxes and slash public jobs, wages and pensions.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel both phoned Papademos on Saturday to urge him carry out all of Greece's reform commitments. ECB chief Mario Draghi and IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde also called.

Left-wing protesters are due to gather in front of parliament on Monday afternoon for their first demonstration against the new government, which it accuses of working in the interests of bankers.

Five years after entering recession, there are few signs Greece is escaping its economic quagmire. Data last week showed an alarming 2 percentage point jump in unemployment to a record 18.4 percent in August -- peak tourist season when the rate should have fallen.

Papademos, who presided over Greece's entry to the euro zone in 2002, must now aim to secure the 8 billion euro bailout tranche, push through the 2012 budget, and prepare the country for an early election in the first quarter of next year.

To do that, he must convince the troika's inspectors that the country is doing enough so as to prove that he is to be given the second 130 billion bailout agreed upon by the Eurozone leaders last month.

Some analysts have questioned whether the new cabinet, largely comprised of Papandreou's fallen administration, will meet the bailout commitments.

However, Development Minister Mihalis Chrysohoidis, who held the same post in the previous administration, told state television the government recognized it must act now.

"We are seen as a problem abroad. We often lacked daring and resolve to achieve out targets," he said. "If we step on the gas and restore our credibility, we can return to markets very quickly."

Because of the debt crisis, Mario Monti receives an appointment as the new (unelected) PM-designate to Italy.

Mario Monti (left) asked to form a new Italian government to tackle an acute debt crisis, prompted by the resignation of Silvio Berlusconi has said I will work with a sense of urgency, but scrupulously"

Mr Monti, an ex-EU commissioner, said he was starting urgent talks on his cabinet, aiming to restore finances.

Most parties, including Mr Berlusconi's, approved his nomination.

Italy's borrowing costs have spiked, threatening the eurozone. Hailing Mr Monti's appointment, EU leaders vowed to monitor Italy's austerity measures.

Mr Monti's candidature was announced after President Giorgio Napolitano spent the day in 17 meetings with senior politicians.

Speaking to reporters shortly afterwards, Mr Monti said Italy should be an "element of strength and not weakness" within the EU.

"We will aim at solving the financial situation, resume the path of growth. [We want to build] a future of dignity and hope for our children."
Analysis

Mario Monti did mention reservations, though it is not clear what he meant by that.

He wants to provide an air of real sincerity about his dedication to the job relative what is to come. Therefore, we will see exactly what that means in terms of when he will go back to the president once he has eliminated those reservations.

He gave a rousing speech, which highlights what we have heard from either side of the political spectrum, that Italy is not essentially a financial disaster.

Mr Monti is hinting that he wants to restore Italy's reputation financially to match the size of its economy rather than the down talk about the credibility it has had over recent months.

Mr Monti said he would respect the country's parliament and hold urgent consultations with its political forces.

He refused to set a timetable for the formation of a new government, and would not say whom he planned to nominate as ministers. Nevertheless, he said consultations would start on Monday.

Mr Napolitano said the nomination was not about overturning the result of the elections of 2008 - but Italy needed a government that "could unite the diverse political forces in an extraordinary effort warranted by the current financial and economic emergency".

Asked about the lifespan of a Monti government, Mr Napolitano said this depended on "the actions of the government, the reaction of the economy, of the markets, investors, of the European and international institutions".

'Encouraging signal'
Speaking in a recorded TV address, Mr Berlusconi said he would support a technocrat government and redouble his own efforts in parliament to modernise Italy.

Most centrists and centre-left parties in the opposition have already pledged their support.

However, Mr Berlusconi's main coalition ally, the Northern League, has withheld its support until Mr Monti's policies have become clear.

Mr Berlusconi, who had lost his parliamentary majority, resigned on Saturday after new austerity measures passed the senate in both houses of parliament.

Silvio Berlusconi: "Millions in Italy know my government did whatever we could to protect them."

In Brussels, European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso and EU President Herman Van Rompuy issued a joint statement welcoming Mr Monti's appointment.

It sent "a further encouraging signal... of the Italian authorities' determination to overcome the current crisis", they said.

The Commission, they added, would continue monitoring "the implementation of measures taken by Italy with the aim of pursuing policies that foster growth and employment".

Mr Monti's appointment comes two days after Greece, under even greater pressure from Brussels, inaugurated a technocrat government to cope with its debt problems.

Mario Monti
Born in 1943 in northern Italy
Taught economics at Turin University for 15 years
1994-1999: EU commissioner for internal market
1999-2004: EU commissioner for competition
Rector then president of top Bocconi University in Milan

Mr Monti, a well-respected economist, is exactly the sort of man that the markets would like to see take charge at this time of crisis, says the BBC's Alan Johnston in Rome, and he has support in many quarters.

However, there is significant opposition to him within the country, and a feeling that Italy's troubles are just too deep for a mere change of government to make any rapid, significant difference.

The austerity package foresees 59.8bn euros in savings from a mixture of spending cuts and tax rises, with the aim of balancing the budget by 2014. Measures include:
An increase in VAT, from 20% to 21%
An increase in fuel prices
Sales of state property
A freeze on public-sector salaries until 2014
The retirement age for women in the private sector will gradually rise, from 60 in 2014 until it reaches 65 in 2026, the same age as for men
Measures to fight tax evasion strengthened, including a limit of 2,500 euros on cash transactions
There will be a special tax on the energy sector
On Wednesday, the interest rate on 10-year Italian government bonds briefly passed 7%, the rate at which Greece, Ireland and Portugal forced to seek bailouts from the EU.
An EU team has begun work in Rome, monitoring how Italy plans to cut its debt burden, 120% of annual economic output (GDP).
The Italian economy has grown at an average of 0.75% a year over the past 15 years.

SPAM MAKES A MIGHTY TASTY SANDWICH

The purpose of this blog is to inform others what is going on in the world relative to Bible prophecy in the hope that they may realize the lateness of the hour prophetically speaking - and then come to a point of repentance.

There are those who may disagree with what I have to say here. That is fine, as I would not expect everyone to agree with everything that I have to say all of the time.

However, there are those who do not agree with what I have to say and instead of sending a message to inform me of that fact, as a replacement for that proper and correct course of action choose to fill my inbox with SPAM.

To those concerned, my inbox has been set to detect and then remove into a separate folder anything considered as spam, and then afterwards I check that box and with one or two clicks, the whole load becomes deleted forever.

Therefore, those who choose to carry on in the manner mentioned above are doing nothing at all but wasting their own time.

Accordingly, those responsible for the above actions can continue to do for as long as they like for there is no one that they are affecting other than themselves.

As that is the case, my best advice then to those concerned would be to go and do something useful instead of leading the aimless life you are now. In the meantime, I hope and pray that those responsible are able to find salvation before it is too late.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have now lost all credibility when it comes to the Euro zone crisis.

For those who were operating under the mistaken belief that Sarko was going to be the Messiah (the Antichrist) aided and abetted by Merkel, who were going to lift the Euro zone out of the doldrums, with Italy now seemingly needing a bailout package with money that is simply not there, that myth seems to have been dispelled once and for all time.

Throughout the euro zone's ongoing debt crisis, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have said they will do whatever it takes to save the euro.

As it turns out, according to The Wall Street Journal, their assurances have not been worth the paper they were written on.

First, they said there would be no defaults by eurozone countries. Yet they approved a haircut on Greek debt, calling it "a unique situation."

Then another Greek haircut followed 12 weeks later.

In addition, in September the European leaders said they had six weeks save the euro, the article reports. That timeframe passed without a coherent plan.

Euro zone leaders produced nothing of substance at their summit in Cannes last week.

Nonetheless, the Journal article notes, Merkel and Sarkozy did issue a most remarkable statement: that Greece was free to leave the euro. They decided that the euro zone membership would be voluntary because they do not want countries in the currency bloc to be liable for other countries' debts, not out of any principle of national self-determination.

The importance of the statement is huge. "At a stroke, they have introduced foreign-exchange risk into a sovereign-debt market still grappling with the realization that euro-zone government bonds contain unexpected credit risk," the Journal reports.

"No wonder the markets won't lend and China won't invest in Europe's bailout funds," the Journal reports. "Nothing these leaders say any longer carries any credibility."

The European economy seems to be disappearing down a sinkhole, the Journal reports. The weakest economies forced to try to decrease their debts through austerity measures that prompt a downward cycle.

The weakest countries suffer higher borrowing costs that in turn decrease their competitiveness while being stuck in an uncompetitive exchange rate at the same time.

Other observers say that publically raising the possibility of Greece leaving the euro zone may have been necessary to convince Greece to drop plans for a referendum on the euro zone's bailout and accompanying austerity plan for the country.

Seen as a vote to keep the euro, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou proposed a referendum on the austerity plan but later dropped the idea.

Merkel and Sarkozy may have pursued Greece to drop the referendum plan, but they reintroduced currency risk by raising the possibility that a country might drop the common currency, according to The Financial Times.

A German euro is suddenly not the same as a Greek euro even if they are now interchangeable.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy calls the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "a liar"

MICROPHONES accidentally left on after G20 meeting pick up a revealing private conversation between US and French presidents about the Israeli prime minister.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly told US President Barack Obama that he could not "stand" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that he thinks the Israeli premier "is a liar."

According to a report on the French website "Arret sur Images," after facing reporters for a G20 press conference last Thursday, the two presidents retired to a private room, to further discuss the matters of the day.

The cable television sports network ESPN is pulling Hank Williams Jr's classic intro song from its broadcast of Monday night's National Football League game in the US after the country singer famous for the line "Are you ready for some football?'' used an analogy to Adolf Hitler in discussing President Barack Obama.

The conversation apparently began with Obama criticizing Nicolas Sarkozy for not having warned him that France would be voting in favor of the Palestinian membership bid in UNESCO despite Washington's strong objection to the move.

The conversation then drifted to Netanyahu, at which time Sarkozy declared: "I cannot stand him. He is a liar." According to the report, Obama replied: "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!"

The remark was naturally meant to be said in confidence, but the two leaders' microphones were accidently left on, making the would-be private comment embarrassingly public.

The communication faux pas went unnoticed for several minutes, during which the conversation between the two heads of state - which quickly reverted to other matters – was all but open to members the press, who were still in possession of headsets provided by the Elysée for the sake of simultaneous translation during the G20 press conference.

"By the time the (media) services at the Elysée realise it, it was on for at least three minutes," one journalist told the website. Still, he said that reporters "did not have a chance to take advantage of this fluke."

The surprising lack of coverage may be explained by a report alleging that reporters present at the event were requested to sign an agreement to keep mum on the subject of the embarrassing comments.

A member of the media confirmed Monday that "there were discussions between journalists and they agreed not to publish the comments due to the sensitivity of the issue."

He added that while it was annoying to have to refrain from publishing the information, the journalists are subject to precise rules of conduct.

That is not to say that if there anyone who was reading this and has never told a lie, even a little white lie then those same persons are liars themselves. The whole point of this is that no matter what we may say there is no one who has never told a lie.

However, what does matter is the extent, and in what context, those lies are told and the ramifications for others, if any, our lies may have. As there is no one who has ever told a lie, even a little white lie, then everyone is a sinner of one type of another. Accordingly, that is the reason why the Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to save humankind from its sins.

As that is the case, then the best thing for anyone who has not already done to do so is to repent of your sin before it is too late. You may do so now before it is too late by reciting the believers prayer of repentance reformatted at the bottom of this page.

Friday the 11-11-2011.

This Friday is a very interesting sort of a day with the date being the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year. 11-11-2011. so what does that mean - more than likely nothing at all.

That is not to say those out there who are into witchcraft and numerology may find that date has some significance. Actually, I have just watched a rather poor effort by Hollywood trying to cash in on the 11-11-2011 with a movie entitled - you guessed it - 11-11-11.

Even some alleged Christian websites allege there are those who are setting up a World Government, and that the number 11 has some significance to those behind it with this group known as the Illuminati.

Nevertheless, I find that the date has very little or no relevance at all and would equate it with the 21st of December 2012 when the world is supposed to end according to the Mayan calendar.

Of course, the latter suggestion is the greatest load of nonsense ever been perpetrated by the media -- or more correctly the Internet.

Friday will just come and go just as if it were any other day, as will 21st of December 2012, with no real happening that will be of any real consequence to anyone much at all.

World War 111 is already here !!!

It has already started it is about to go into full swing very very soon. !!!

WARNING:
WORLD WAR 3 IS UNDERWAY and it's much more sinister than you could have imagined. When did it start? Fourteen centuries ago. Who started it? An insane paedophile named Mohammed who, along with his gang of terrorists, formed the savagely oppressive, dehumanizing religion of Islam.

Through centuries of fanatical conquests (Jihads) and terrorism (when Jihads failed), Islam has metastasized into a modern day world cancer. As we speak, the civilized world is beginning to collapse under it and has no idea how to react. How does one stop a grotesque cult, which will settle for nothing less than TOTAL world domination? So while the U.S. looks under every rock for Osama bin Laden, the bloody borders of Islam are closing in on all sides... for in fact EVERY American Muslim has the potential to become a bin Laden or an abettor of a bin Laden!

Even a Jew-basher/Israeli-basher like Pat Buchanan has it correct when he wrote... "In population, Islam is exploding, the West dying. Islamic warriors are willing to suffer defeat and death, the West recoils at casualties. They are full of grievance; we, full of guilt. Where Islam prevails, it asserts a right to impose its dogma, while the West preaches equality. Islam is assertive, the West apologetic – about its crusaders, conquerors and empires. Don't count Islam out. It is the fastest growing faith in Europe and has surpassed Catholicism worldwide. And as Christianity expires in the West and the churches empty out, the mosques are going up." WorldnetDaily-12/7/01

An impending disaster lies ahead. Unfortunately, the U.S. military cannot help for it was always preparing for the wrong war. Soviet or Chinese communism was never driven by such fanaticism. Besides, the Russians stayed in Russian and the Chinese in China. By contrast, the Soldiers of Islam are spreading into all societies... first as simple shop owners and cab drivers, then students, then student activists, then violent agitators and finally assassins and bombers. Look for a mosque to appear soon in YOUR neighbourhood.

SUGGESTION
Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists and other non-Muslim "Infidels" should really think about joining forces instead of getting on their knees like young girls begging not to be gang raped!

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou has called for a confidence vote and a referendum to approve last week's EU summit deal - WHAT A CALAMITY?

GREECE has thrown the eurozone into fresh turmoil by allowing voters the chance to reject the emergency bailout package agreed in Brussels last week.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou stunned European capitals yesterday by saying he would hold a referendum on the details tortuously negotiated by eurozone leaders.

The announcement, made after European financial markets had closed, effectively gives Greek voters a veto on the deal and raises the spectre of financial chaos across Europe if they reject it.

Mr Papandreou gave no date or other details on the proposed referendum, which would be the first in Greece since 1974, when a landslide abolished the monarchy vote months after the collapse of a military dictatorship.

"This will be the referendum: The citizen will be called upon to say a big 'yes' or a big 'no' to the new loan arrangement," he told Socialist members of parliament.

"This is a supreme act of democracy and patriotism for the people to make their own decision . . . We have a duty to promote the role and responsibility of the citizen."

He said he would seek a vote of confidence in parliament, which could begin today and conclude late on Friday.

The referendum move allows Socialist MPs - vilified by an increasingly hostile public during months of strikes, sit-ins and violent protests over rounds of austerity measures - to pass the responsibility for the country's fate to the people.

EU leaders carved out a second aid package for Greece at a summit in Brussels last week, after

Mr Papandreou scraped together parliamentary approval for the second round of austerity measures in four months. Greece will receive E130 billion ($172bn) in public funds plus a 50 per cent write-down on debt, following a fully taxpayer-funded package of E110bn extended in May last year.

Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the referendum was called for after opposition parties failed to side with the government in negotiations between Greece and other eurozone members.

"Greece is living through a drama from which it must be released by asking the people to express its will," he told parliament.

"Each citizen will make his own decision, with responsibility, in a process that will provide a national sense of relief and recovery."

He told private Antenna television: "It is very clear: the new agreement will be submitted to parliament for approval and then submitted to the judgment of the Greek people . . . the people can say 'no' but must bear in mind the consequences of that decision."

Mr Papandreou's government has seen its majority reduced to three seats and its approval ratings plummet amid austerity measures that are sending the country into a fourth year of recession next year.

The EU statistics agency Euro stat estimated in a report yesterday that unemployment in Greece reached 17.6 per cent in July - higher than the Greek estimate for that month of 16.5 per cent.

"This is just the latest twist in the unfolding Greek tragedy," said Sony Kapoor, the managing director of Re-Define, a London-based think tank.

"With an irresponsible opposition that is promising Greek voters the moon, it is very difficult to see how this referendum could be won under the ongoing gut-wrenching austerity."

Germany's Finance Ministry noted yesterday "the summit of the euro zone's heads of states and governments . . . formulated clear expectations.

"Accordingly, the second aid package for Greece shall be finalised by year's end. At the moment, we are all working on this with high intensity."

Nevertheless, what seems to be going on relative to Greece in particular ties in so well with the Bible prophecies that it is really quite uncanny in so many senses.

Someone noted other day on the Internet that where it began all might end. There seems to be more than a couple of examples of the tie in between the different cultures mentioned in the scriptures with what is happening in the news broadcasts of today.

With the original of the scriptures translated from the Greek and the Hebrew into the English that is only the starters.

What we are looking at in that example is the current turmoil that Greece is facing coupled with Gods prophetic clock of Israel.

Then we have the book of the Revelation translated into the Greek by the prophet John after God, and then Jesus, and then the angels spoke to him, after having been exiled the Greek Island of Patmos there in 69AD, and so the list goes on.

However, is the Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou only buying time so that he can forego the inevitable elections with the result being that he may be able to stay in power a little bit longer that what he would under normal circumstances?

Alternatively, are there much more serious and sinister secrets that are laying in the background that have not been revealed as yet, such as wanting to make this bailout package fail so that more and more power could be handed over to the Antichrist then giving him the pretext to start and win a Third World War?

That is the provocative question that only time is really going to provide an answer. Whatever is going to be the outcome of all of this, and no matter what angle we are to approach this from, there are no winners here anywhere, just losers.

As that is the case, one may then rightly ask does Papandreou want to latest measures to fail or succeed as it really seems like he wants what has gone down to fail, and fail big time.
