"For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
 
"Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20:27-35 KJV)

:: GREETINGS to all and the newcomers to this list. We'd like to introduce ourselves. George and Rita Williams, who founded this ministry, were Mormons (Temple Mormons part of the time) for 20 years. We prayed to God in 1992 to allow us to do a ministry speaking out against Scientology. Six months later God led us to the truth: out of the cult of Mormonism. We did not know at the time we were in a cult. No-one had witnessed to us in 20 years.
The Holy Spirit brought us to information about all the cults and the present development of the New World Order. We began bringing our research to you. Because all the research was already done, we decided to build a library within Cephas Ministry.
We are fundamental Bible students and have left all worldly organizations.
The focus of these newsletters is to prove why we had to leave the world system. We are called 'Watchmen on the Wall' which God always had during the Old / New Testament Times.
To understand what is happening, one has to know the Bible to compare notes.
The first section is about the church. The news about churches is unedited unless indicated by Ednotes. The church as we knew it, is undergoing disintegration. This began on a fast track in the early nineteen sixties when the Catholic Church produced liberal Vatican II to replace Vatican I.
The trend since then has been ecumenical which is truly what the word 'Catholicism' means: a universal religion all inclusive and multicultural. The Bible calls for a final church which doesn't resemble what Jesus taught. The Word of God has undergone many changes to fit the present mode. The Bible calls for a falling away from the truth before Jesus comes back for His Bride, the true believers called 'Ekklesia.' Our newsletters prove this fact and prove that the Bible is true from beginning to end.
The second section is about globalism where we bring your attention to the social, political and global trend to prove that we are moving to closure of the times of the Gentiles.
The third section compliments End Time teachings with what is happening in Israel. We describe and watch for signs of the coming Tribulation to confirm that we are moving into that space and time.
Watchmen on the wall do not solicit memberships. We have an email group that gets information when we upload new information and a newsletter whenever it is possible time wise. We love the Lord with all our hearts and minds and we love all people God has created but especially those who love our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our Statement of Faith is at http://www.cephasministry.com/statement_of_faith.html
 
::We believe every word in the KJV Bible and believe it is the Word of God and that Jesus is the Christ, God Himself, who spilled His blood on the cross for our sins and rose again to prepare a place for those who accept 'His' righteousness as their righteousness. They are those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, Jews first and then Gentiles. We expect to be raptured in a pretribulation Rapture to live with God the Father, God His Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, who are ONE GOD in three persons, forever.
We pray the Lord will bless you with a thirst for truth and a desire to serve Him exclusively, in Christ Jesus, Nicholas A. Stivers, NicholasScrolls and Rita Williams, Cephas Ministry / Cephas Library.

THE SHEPHERDING MOVEMENT COMES OF AGE
( a must read for anyone involved in or will be potentially involved of the Purpose Driven Movement )
Excerpts from article: Parishioners are now being challenged to take oaths, perform vows and sign covenants. These things would have been unheard of in generations past for one simple reason...
Churches which have come under the influence of Rick Warren, Lyle Schaller, Bob Buford, or any of the other church growth business-model experts, have undergone profound changes. They will have adopted a Mission Statement, Core Values, and Vision, often through a "consensus" and "dialogue" technique. In order to become a member of these churches, parishioners are required to sign an oath to uphold their church's covenant. The word "covenant," which used to have biblical significance, is now applied liberally to this new church structure, apparently to give it credibility...
 These churches post their covenants on the internet, presumably so that "seekers" will read about their church. Each church which has adopted this new model of membership is exactly like each other church. They are all cut from the same mold. "New Age" Unitarian churches have adopted the same plan as Presbyterian Reformed churches. Baptist, Assembly of God, Nazarenes, the list could go on and on... parishioner must agree to never speak "evil" of anyone or any leader in the church, including "negative" or "critical" statements about church policies or doctrines. Also, any dispute will be resolved by the leadership of the church, and the parishioner must agree beforehand to submit to their discipline. Membership is described as the "gateway to leadership." Everyone is presumed a potential leader. Aspiring leaders must make additional commitments, usually called "responsibilities," which have to do with evangelism, promoting church programs, discipling others, agreeing to be held accountable, and undergoing periodic "continuing education."..
Let us consider making and keeping agreements that express that harmony and oneness." Another church explains that their "collective consciousness on social issues" is "not enforced legalistically but members agree to embrace them." Yet another church states that a "membership covenant implies a clear ownership of the core values, beliefs, vision, and mission that function as the DNA of congregational life embedded into every leader" for a "shared identity."..
150,000 pastors and church leaders have been trained in his model.1 Rick Warren was mentored by Peter Drucker, a corporate management guru with strong ties to the New Age/New World Order. Drucker "influenced the start and growth of Saddleback Church...
The Corporate and the Church subsume their identities and comfortably merge with State into one comprehensive "system" of governance for mankind. Drucker's ideas gave rise to the faith-based institution movement of the last decade.

THE NEW AGE STRAW MAN: SATAN'S PLAN, BUT DON'T FORGET SATAN IS A MASTER AT LIES
Janet Moser writes: Satan will try to counterfeit the Second Coming of Christ & the Restoration of All Things. The occult societies will attempt to fulfill God's will using hidden knowledge (gnosis) received from Lucifer, whom they believe will be victorious in the end. Since Gnostics believe they are gods, they view the Bible's prophecies as self-fulfilling and themselves as the instruments of their fulfillment. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. Rev.17:17 ...for all are thy servants. Psalm 119:91
"The Cathar belief was firmly rooted in the Gnostic belief in self-fulfillment that had so alarmed the fathers of the early church of Rome...
Gnosticism, which promotes the path of self-determination , as distinct from obedience to the written word...offers a radically different challenge to the individual." - 263:401,428
In their program of prophetic duplication, the Gnostics will follow the astrological timetable.
And he shall... think to change times and laws... Dan. 7:25
Satan's lie to Gnostics of all ages is as follows:
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Gen. 3:4 "While Lucifer assists man's 'ascent to godhood,' J. D. Buck states that 'the only personal god Freemasonry accepts is humanity in total. God, the Great Architect of the Universe, personifies himself through man, Humanity, therefore, is the only personal god there is.'" - 120:3, J. D. Buck, Symbolism of Mystic Masonry, p. 216.

THE OCCULT PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY BEING REVEALED BY THE SECRET SOCIETIES
"The [New Age] movement was to keep a low profile until 1975. Then it had permission to take EVERYTHING public - including the very fact and nature of 'The Plan' itself. Everything hidden was to be revealed and there was to be a no-holds-barred propaganda drive after that time, spreading the previously esoteric teachings of the New Age along with the anticipation of a New Age Christ by every media available. (B)efore 1975...the Movement handled these activities carefully so as to avoid taking fundamentalists and other religious orthodox adherents into its confidence on the peculiarly occult nature of the underlying esoteric blueprints for the Movement." - 79:122, Constance Cumbey, Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow.
V. PROTOCOLS FOR PROPHECY STUDY
A table of contents is found in the Keys of Knowledge below. Each topic is labeled with a familiar Bible term followed by parenthesis which identifies either the actual or false fulfillment of the prophecy through the agency of the secret societies. The following are few examples of topic headings:
4.A. SIGNS & LYING WONDERS (Hermetic Science) [Ednote: includes Ancient Masonry]
5-B. SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN (Astrological Signs) [Ednote: Famous symbol Masons use: Compass & Square are used for Astrological deliniation purposes not for construction in the case of Masons ]
15-B. SONS OF GOD MANIFESTED (Secret Societies) [Ednote: Secret Societies are the Masonic Brotherhood]
17-B. MARK OF THE BEAST (Six-Pointed Star) [Ednote: In Ancient Masonry personifies the symbol of male/feamale god - 2 triangles super imposed depicting, body, mind, soul two times.]
24-D. ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION (Obelisk) [Ednote: Substitute of the phallus, rising as an emblem of resurrection.. (Morals and Dogma p 393)]
BIBLE STUDY: This report may also be read as a Bible study, using the hypertext Book of Daniel and Book of Revelation which link key words, phrases and verses to the relevant sections of the report. PREMISE: Exposes Satan's plan to preempt, duplicate and counterfeit the actual fulfillment of Bible prophecy by Jesus Christ.
PROGRAM OF GOD: Presents the program of God using prophecies from Scripture. All prophecies relate specifically to the Person and work of Jesus Christ.
PROGRAM OF SATANIC DUPLICATION: Traces the fulfillment of Satan's program through the dispensations to the final counterfeit fulfillment of end-time prophecy. Prophecies about the Antichrist reveal that he is attempting to fulfill prophecies about Christ. ...O Lucifer...thou hast said in thine heart...I will be like the most High. Is.14:12-14
The program of Satan is confirmed and documented in various occult and other secular sources.
PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS: Delineates the respective programs of God and Satan as they relate to the various dispensations presented in Scripture.
PRE-FLOOD ERA
OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD
CHURCH AGE
TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS
GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE
THE MILLENNIUM
NEW HEAVENS & NEW EARTH
PERVERSIONS OF SCRIPTURE: Changes in modern versions are noted where revisions change the interpretation of Bible prophecy.
PERSONAL APPLICATION: Presents commands and encouragement from God's Word relating to each topic.
PROJECTION: Occasional projections are made concerning the identity of such personages as the Antichrist (15.B), False Prophet (24.F) and Archangel Michael (13.D).

Our study of Bible prophecy is based on the following assumptions:
The Book of Revelation follows a strict chronological order. "Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter." Rev. 1:19
The pre-Tribulation translation (Rapture) of the true Church will be the event that God uses to begin the 7-year Tribulation Period.
During the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation period, the secret societies will set up a false Antichrist, a false False Prophet, a false Dragon, a false Babylon the Great, false Mark of the Beast and other counterfeits of Bible prophecies.
These counterfeits will function as decoys and scapegoats in order to (1) prevent recognition of the true Antichrist, the true False Prophet, true Mark of the Beast and Satan's gnostic religious system and (2) to justify the elimination of established governments and traditional religions.
At the midpoint of the Tribulation period, the real Antichrist and False Prophet will destroy the false Antichrist, the false False Prophet, the false Dragon and Mystery Babylon the Great.
Many professors of the Christian faith will be 'left behind' to endure the Tribulation. These are the foolish virgins of whom Jesus spoke in Matthew 25. These virgins believe they are saved and are actually awaiting the Bridegroom, but Jesus Christ will not recognize them when he comes for His Bride: Matt. 25:1-13
THE OBELISK FALSELY PORTRAYED AS JACOB'S PILLAR
JACOB'S PILLAR (Stone of Destiny) - An obelisk, falsely portrayed as Jacob's pillar, will be "returned" to Israel at mid-Tribulation. The Celtic Stone of Destiny will bear witness to the Merovingian prince as the Messiah and be the enthroning stone of Antichrist.

THE REAL PROGRAM OF SATAN ARE THE WEALTHY WHO REPRESENT THE OTHER GOD MAMMON
Rothschild and Rockefeller have long controlled the production of biochemical weapons. "The Rothschilds have several agents which their money got started and who still serve them well, the Morgans and the Rockefellers." - 77:155
"German bankers on the Farben Aufsichsrat (the supervisory Board of Directors) in the late 1920s included the Hamburg banker Max Warburg, whose brother Paul Warburg was a founder of the Federal Reserve System in the United States. Not coincidentally, Paul Warburg was also on the board of American I.G., Farben's wholly owned U.S. subsidiary." - 674:33
"...there were some businessmen--most connected with secret societies--who could not resist the temptation to profit from the world's misery. A good example was Walter C. Teagle, chairman of Standard Oil of New Jersey, owned by Rockefeller's Chase Bank. Teagle was also a director of American I.G. Chemical Corp., a subsidiary of the giant I.G. Farben conglomerate...
"I.G. Farben and Rockefeller's Standard Oil had become so intertwined that in 1942 Thurman Arnold, head of the U.S. Justice Department's Anti-Trust Division, produced documents for Senator Harry S. Truman's defense committee showing that 'Standard and Farben in Germany had literally carved up the world markets, with oil and chemical monopolies established all over the map.'
"The president of I.G. Farben in Germany, Hermann Schmitz, served on the boards of the Deutsche Bank and the Bank for International Settlements. In 1929 Schmitz was voted president of the board of National City Bank, now Citibank.
"Paul Manning, a CBS new correspondent in Europe during World War II, wrote that Schmitz once 'held as much stock in Standard Oil of New Jersey as did the Rockefellers.'" - 482:178-79.66 http://watch.pair.com/new-health.html#9.A.CHURCH

Old ALEC News Item: Conservative ALEC pulls big crowd, big names Spokesman Review, August 27, 1987 [Washington state newspaper] http://watch.pair.com/charter6.html By David Newman [staff writer] …This week more than 400 of the most conservative [lawmakers] will be [in Spokane, WA].
They are architects of limited government policies who will gather to trade ideas and information among themselves and a brigade of big-business lobbyists.

The American Legislative Exchange Council's annual meeting begins today at the Coeur d'Alene resort...In addition to the lawmakers more than 400 Reagan administration officials, business representatives, legislative staffers and lawmakers spouses are registered for the meeting.

U.S. Education Secretary William J. Bennett, U.S. Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Hanford Dole, … are among the dignitaries who will speak to lawmakers here…

About 1,800 of the nation's 7,500 state legislators are ALEC members.*

ALEC Publications on Charter Schools
EDUCATION Books and Special Reports - Issue Papers - The State Factor--A Report Card on School Choice - Vol. 24, No. 1, Summer 1998, 5 pgs. By Paul Peterson, Harvard University

After more than two decades of mediocre academic achievement, a movement is growing to challenge and reconfigure the existing model of public education by implementing "school choice" programs. These programs would provide students and parents the power and means to select the best school for them, whether public or private.

The State Factor--Groundswell: How Charter Schools Are Transforming the Education Landscape Vol. 24, No. 4, Dec. 1998, 8 pgs.

Educators and policy makers looking to reform public education should consider the proven results of charter schools. As privately managed public schools receiving public funds with less public regulations, charter schools are sweeping the nation as an effective tool for decentralizing the highly bureaucratic public school system. While two-thirds of the states and the District of Columbia currently have charter school legislation, the statutory restrictions on the growth of charter schools need to be eliminated to decentralize the entire public school system and maximize the potential of this effective education reform. Much of ALEC literature discusses and endorses public/private partnerships; charter schools being a prime example. Of course ALEC offers model legislation on charter schools.

FREE CONGRESS FOUNDATION'S COALITION FOR CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTIES
By Dana Hoard "... This coalition-building technique employed by Free Congress Foundation is the same technique used by Evergreen Freedom Foundation [EFF] in Washington state. Evergreen is a member of the FCF Coalition. EFF took a leadership role over a loose-knit, statewide educational group (with which I was involved in the early 90’s). As a result of this takeover, EFF was able to totally neutralized our grassroots fight against GOALS 2000. (A grant from the Coors Foundation to EFF at the time, was most probably used to stimulate EFF’s activities in education.) It was later revealed that, behind the scenes, EFF was promoting an important component of GOALS 2000 -- charter schools.
In order to do this, Evergreen was WORKING WITH THE OTHER SIDE -- Paul Hill* of GOALS 2000/RAND Corporation. EFF ABANDONED OUR COALITION AND DISCREDITED US WHEN IT BECAME EXPEDIENT TO DO SO. If you work with FCF’s Coalition for Constitutional Liberties [CCL] there is the possibility that they will become the head of the SSN/privacy/freedom effort and your work will be compromised. The same template used by EFF may be used by the FCF Coalition.
*Paul Hill collaborated with David Hornbeck, Senior Education Advisor to the National Business Roundtable on two strategic plans which serve as the guidelines for GOALS 2000: NINE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL EDUCATION SYSTEM and THE BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE POSITION ON CHOICE . Hill was later imported to the University of Washington, Graduate School of Public Policy to promote the charter school concept in partnership with the Washington Business Roundtable. He heads the Center for Reinventing Public Education which is building a national network of business, civic and political leaders who are working to change school governance. http://watch.pair.com/freecongress.html

IS FOCUS ON THE FAMILY GOING IN AN UNSCRIPTURAL, ECUMENICAL, NEW AGE DIRECTION?
UPDATE 2003: James Dobson, age 67, resigned as president and chief executive on May 15, 2003. Former Christian Coalition leader and Reagan cabinet member Donald P. Hodel (from FOTF)/ CNP is now handling management duties. Brian V. Cooper (former Focus employee) has stated: "How odd that Dobson would "respect" a politician so much as to place him on the throne of FOTF. Dobson could have selected a Pastor or Chaplain or even stolen a CEO from some other ministry... but no, Dobson chose a politician to take the reins of the mega media corporation. Odd? Not at all. FOTF has been using it's radio program to support Dobson's political aspirations all along. Now it's just going to be a little harder to hide that fact! Pray for FOTF! They are now headed down the path of destruction at break neck speed... our prayer is that someone will wake up and realize that the leadership is asleep at the wheel, before they all fall into the ditch!"

MAKING ROOM FOR THE NEXT WAVE? PROMISE KEEPERS PRESIDENT RESIGNS
DENVER (BP) Sep 10, 2003 By Staff --Bill McCartney, founder and president of Promise Keepers, is resigning his post effective Oct. 1 in order to care for his wife and spend more time with his family, the international men's ministry announced Sept. 9. PK board chairman Retired Army Lt. Gen. Alonzo Short said board members have formed an internal committee to prayerfully select McCartney's successor. Short will continue serving as interim president, a role he assumed when McCartney requested a six-month sabbatical in March in order to care for his wife, Lyndi, who is battling a severe respiratory illness. "God has assigned me to be a husband and a grandfather," a PK news release quoted McCartney as saying. "The ministry of Promise Keepers is not finished; it is needed now more than ever. I am confident that the Lord will direct and empower the ministry to move forward in strength and support. The opportunities for PK are limitless." McCartney's resignation notice was given during the board of directors' quarterly meeting Sept. 8, the news release reported...
As another anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Short noted that personal fear and anxiety seem to be at an all-time high. "Beyond that, the pressures on men are relentless; the stress on families is intense," he said. "Real men matter, and men of integrity will make the difference in our society. Promise Keepers intends to continue to be there to help encourage, empower and equip them in that challenge." McCartney founded Promise Keepers 13 years ago when he was the football coach at the University of Colorado. On the way to a Fellowship of Christian Athletes banquet, he began envisioning thousands of men gathered for revival and discipleship. What evolved was an international ministry with a name derived from the covenant God fulfilled through Jesus Christ. "In Christ, God kept all the promises that he made to mankind and we rely upon God as the original Promise Keeper to keep our promises," the Promise Keepers website, www.promisekeepers.org, states. http://www.sbcbaptistpress.org/bpnews.asp?ID=16650

DIABOLICAL PLOT
In this report I will use many pictures showing the establishment of the Illuminati and establish proof that there has been a diabolical plot by those we refer to as the New World Order. Showing the architectural design of the New Israeli Supreme Court Building designed and paid for by the Rothchilds reflex the presence of Free Masonry and the Illuminati. I took all but one of the pictures you are about to see so I can assure that what you are seeing is real and in place.
The same families who own and control the Federal Reserve and other major financial institutions have their eyes set on the Temple Mount, and the Holy City of Jerusalem. Just as Scriptures say, the man who will be revealed as the anti-Christ will sit in that place, before the appearance of the Jewish Messiah Yeshua HaMashiach, and many will receive him as their messiah. I ask you to read an article on (The Synagogue Of Satan)

THE APOSTATE CHURCH
(Very important reading, it is what we have been waiting for)
By Paul Proctor / Archives
Barking Sheep: For two years now I have written much about the godless nature and direction of the seeker sensitive church growth movement conceived and birthed years ago at Fuller Theological Seminary and spread throughout the world by organizations like the Crystal Cathedral, Saddleback Community Church and Willow Creek Community Church through its associations and member churches. I have exposed and explained time and again the Hegelian Dialectic they incorporate into their teachings and practices to bring the church at large into the “ecumenical” and “interfaith” agenda of the United Nations through non-governmental organizations like World Vision. It seems every year during the fall some bazaar story emerges from Willow Creek’s faux pas factory into the mainstream media sending shock and confusion throughout the Christian community.
Two years ago it was an unrepentant Bill Clinton appearing on Ted Koppel’s show Nightline seeking forgiveness and support as the keynote speaker of Willow Creek Community Church’s Leadership Conference right before the Democratic National Convention. Last year pastor Bill Hybels invited a Muslim cleric to speak at Willow Creek after the 9-11 attacks to soothe fevered brows in the interest of tolerance and diversity. And every year Willow Creek’s spokesperson responds to the resulting outrage with the same kind of dialectic spin and denial reminiscent of the Clinton administration. Well friends, fall is here and the “Creekers” are at it again.
In a letter to Bush, 60 signers, identifying themselves as American evangelicals, endorsed a U.S. policy that "affirms the valid interests" of both sides in the Middle East conflict. They also told the president the "American evangelical community is not a monolithic bloc in full and firm support of present Israeli policy…In their letter, the writers endorsed a free state for the Palestinians.”-- Baptist Press
Letter By 60 Christian Leaders Criticizes Pro-Israel Evangelicals http://news.christiansunite.com/baptist/baptist02593.shtml
So, essentially these “evangelicals” are asking President Bush to negotiate with terrorists, bypass God’s call to support and defend the nation of Israel against its enemies and ignore His covenant with Abraham that clearly establishes the land they now “occupy” as their divine inheritance. This is just another episode in the ongoing saga of “blind guides” building an Apostate Church for the 21st century.
Not only are they calling for the president to practice the Hegelian Dialectic in the middle east --Thesis (Israel) + Antithesis (Palestinians) = Synthesis (False Peace) -- whether they admit it or not, they are forwarding a belief system known as “replacement theology” that promotes the occult idea that Christians are somehow God’s replacement for the Jews as His “Chosen” people.
You really have to investigate thoroughly the corrupt core and occult beginnings of the church growth movement (CGM) beyond its slick marketing strategies, management techniques and worshiptainment format to understand the nature of the beast. If you only address the sterilized “worship centers” they build and the circus atmosphere they create on Sunday morning, you will miss the heart of the heresy and they will simply defend themselves, as they always do, by claiming a difference in worship style. If, however, you delve into the roots and philosophy of the CGM you will discover the REAL problem – that it’s NOT a matter of style but rather a matter of substance – transformational Marxism with a Christian face. Using group think and group management they centralize the church’s power and authority under a few select individuals called “facilitators” (change agents) who are guided and instructed from without. They will tell you, “The message hasn’t changed.” What they won’t tell you is that the message is seldom, if ever delivered, so as to protect the lost from any offensive and intolerant doctrine – thereby keeping them and their money “faithfully” coming to church.
It’s all about putting people and their “felt needs” FIRST to promote change within the church for the benefit of global governance -- God and His unchanging Word SECOND to avoid conflict and dissention (division) and utilizing human talent and technique to form a governmentally manageable religion for the United Nations where everyone’s beliefs are considered equally valid, except of course those whose beliefs are strictly biblical.
As Christians, we need to take a stand against such heresy and support the nation of Israel in defense of its covenant land – not negotiate with murderers and idolaters who consider the suicide bombing of innocent bystanders to be a religious experience and duty to a god named Allah. If you are a member of a church that belongs to the Willow Creek Association or any of the other participating organizations mentioned in the above Baptist Press article it is essential that you know and understand just Who is against those that are against Israel. In other words -- beware of barking sheep – they’re not there to graze the green pastures.
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-3) © 2002 Paul Proctor - All Rights Reserved http://www.americanreformation.org/apostasy/Proctor/BarkingSheep.htm

DIAPRAX GOES TO SEMINARY
Mr. McCormack reports that a workshop was held at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas for the purpose of introducing a ‘new style of learning’ based on a program called ‘EPIC’. (Experience, Participate, Image-Rich and Connection) John Herring, pastor of discipleship at The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Ala. was quoted as saying “it is the model of things to come for teaching in our churches”. Little does he know that what seminar leaders Leonard Sweet and Keith Kline were teaching is Diaprax.
For those unacquainted with the term ‘Diaprax’, it is simply another word for the Hegelian Dialectic or consensus process -- a deceitful procedure designed to bring about change through conflict and compromise that was conceived in the late 1700’s by transformational Marxist, Georg Wilhelm Fredric Hegel who sought, as occult-led globalists do to this day, ‘unity in diversity’ – a term many of us became familiar with under the Clinton Administration. Diaprax, a word coined by author and teacher Dean Gotcher, essentially brings together people of diverse and often opposing backgrounds, worldviews and belief systems in hopes they will forfeit their own values, traditions and absolutes for the emotional rewards of group acceptance.
The goal of Diaprax in the church is to rid the flock of its pesky and divisive hang-ups and habits that impede unity and change – personal convictions and restrained behaviors that are based on Biblical truth rather than political correctness, pragmatism and personal taste. Diaprax is a truth-silencing technique that covertly promotes humanist ideals and a reciprocating brotherly love known in the Greek as ‘phileo’ through imagery (arts/media) and conversation (opinion/dialog) at the expense of the more Godly, obedient, self-sacrificing, truthful and unworldly ‘love-your-enemy’ kind of love called ‘agape’ – the kind of love that drove the Apostle Paul to speak the bitter truth about sinful man from the chains of a dark and lonely prison; the kind of love that caused Stephen to cry out: “lay not this sin to their charge” as the angry crowd stoned him to death for his cutting words of conviction; and what moved the Lord Jesus Himself to say as He hung on a cross for the sins of the world: ”Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” for the whole article go to: http://www.americanreformation.org/apostasy/Proctor/Diaprax.htm

Critic calls 9/11 an inside job, challenges communicators
Vancouver, Canada (Ecumenical News International - (ENI)). Media critic and television producer Barrie Zwicker startles his audience when he says, "9/11 was arranged to jump start the so-called war on terrorism". Some of the audience is also astonished when he draws comparisons between Adolf Hitler and George W. Bush. Zwicker's comments are part of a presentation for a series of seminars and public forums organized jointly by the World Association for Christian Communication, Canada's Simon Fraser University School of Communication, and the Vancouver School of Theology, under the theme "Truth and trust: Are the media connecting us with the real world?"

THEY SOLD THEIR SOULS FOR ROCK AND ROLL
Fight The Good Fight, Pastor Joe Schimmel, August 28, 2003 - We have been approached for answers as to why Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris shot and killed twelve fellow students and one teacher at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, before killing themselves - We researched and published a number of articles on the following index: http://www.cephasministry.com/index_save_our_children.html

Having watched the first set of videos Joe Schimmel producted in 1992 when we started publishing, he has the most comprehensive documentation ever available. They are a must for every parent who has teenage or young college kids. here are the answers. Is it true that Satan is the master musician working behind the popular music scene and influencing our youth? Not only is it revealing what is happening in the music industry but it is the best testimony we have seen that Satan is alive and well. If he is alive and well, so is God.

Fasten your seat belts as you go on an eye popping ride upon the roller coster of Rock and find out how Rock's most popular artists have Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll. In this mind blowing exposed' Pastor Joe Schimmel reveals just how Satan has been effectively using popular music to undermine God's plan for the family and ultimately heralding the coming of the Antichrist and his kingdom on earth.
Mega stars Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera passionately kiss before millions of their young impressionable fans. Is MTV using the subversive power of music and popular teen idols to deceive our children? (video clip taken from the "Complete 10-Hour version") Bob Pittman, Founder and former President of MTV, made a startling admission. Pittman outlined a simple two-point plan whereby MTV would be able to accomplish its objective in the ownership of your children. The plan was basic, (1) "Get their emotions going". (2) "Make them forget their logic". Pittman then calculated, MTV will "own" our children. This is no more than a basic subversive brain washing technique. Pittman had the brazen audacity to admit:

"The strongest appeal you can make is emotionally. If you can get their emotions going, make them forget their logic, you've got them. AT MTV, WE DON'T SHOOT FOR THE 14-YEAR OLDS, WE OWN THEM". (MTV is Rock Around the Clock, Philadelphia Inquirer, Nov. 3, 1982) MTV has come a long way in leading millions of impressionable youth down the greased pole to hell.

Satan and the legion of demonic beings that do his bidding have used MTV and countless pop stars to promote musical terrorism. Though it is heart breaking, it is par for the course to see Madonna engaged in a lesbian act with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on the MTV music awards.

Madonna is aware that she is promoting homosexuality to millions of impressionable young people. Madonna admitted to a homosexual magazine that she employs this technique as a means to desensitize viewers, who would at first be disgusted with homosexuality, into accepting homosexuality as normative. Madonna declared:

"They digest it on a lot of different levels. Some people will see it and be disgusted by it,but maybe they'll be unconsciously aroused by it. If people keep seeing it and seeing it and seeing it, eventually it's not going to be such a strange thing"
(The Advocate, May 7, 1991, pg.49)

We would be foolish to believe that the promotion of lesbianism by Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on MTV is nothing less than part and parcel of a subversive plan to erode what is left of the lingering vestiges of morality in our nation.

If Pepsi gave millions of dollars to Madonna to drink Pepsi knowing that they would have a huge influence on the masses to buy their product, what kind effect can we expect upon the youth of our nation when they view their top icons promoting lesbianism? Sadly, Madonna kissed both Britney and Christina with far more passion than she drank her Pepsi.

Why would Satan go to such lengths to promote homosexuality among our youth?

The answer is simple. God created sex to be enjoyed in the confines of marriage between a man and a woman. Homosexuality is defiant against God's natural law. Satan knows that in promoting homosexuality he is able to further perpetuate mankind's increasing rebellion against God. Moreover, he is more effectively able to eternally damn unwitting souls. God's word warns that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) but will be sentenced to the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8).

Thank God there is hope for those who turn from their rebellion against God to Jesus Christ who died and rose to save them from their sins.

From Pastor Joe Schimmel a personal message:
Dear visitor,
Your life is precious to God and to us. It doesn't matter how bad you have been, God loves you and laid His life down on the cross to suffer the penalty you and I deserve. Your life will soon end and you will stand before God to be sentenced to heaven or hell for eternity. Choose life and turn from your sins to Christ. Jesus said:

"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."
Matthew 7:13-14

This is the set of videos: They come in sizes 2 - 10. We even carry some in the Video Library for less. Every Church should have a set in their library for youth.

Apostasy Revealed by Nicholas A. Stivers
A non-fiction, highly spiritual work
$11.95 Trade paperback plus postage
Jesus' disciples were of common Hebrew stock. They became Apostles through their tenacity and were firm in their commitment. They developed groups of believers called churches (gatherings). They were a minority then as God's appointed ones are today, not following mainstream ideals, but clinging steadfastly to Christ's teachings and enduring persecution for their unwavering faith. The rest of the world at that time was as deceived and enslaved as the world is today. Their world suffered under siege by secular powers, just as our world today is at the mercy of the same models of Government.
Sadly, the many-divided houses of God promote their own brand of elitism and partiality. Many Christian authorities are largely tolerant of sensual deviance and abhorrent authority. Religion has (in part) lost its zeal because the message has been so watered down that it fails to keep the believers faithful. Today, hypocrisy is an epidemic. So many are backsliding and falling into pits. The message herein brings you back to the fundamental "Gospel of Christ crucified" in a contemporary context. This book is for those who have been thirsting and hungering for the righteousness of God. What many people need is encouragement to follow Jesus' example.Take courage now and share the experience of salvation and fresh revelation with a brother in Christ. Highly recommended by Cephas Ministry

U.S. CONSIDERING RECALLING UNITS OF OLD IRAQ ARMY
New York Times, WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2003 — Some American military officers in Iraq are pressing to reconstitute entire units of the former Iraqi Army, which the top United States administrator in Baghdad disbanded in May. They say the change would speed the creation of a new army and stabilize the nation.
Proposals under consideration would involve identifying former Iraqi officers and weeding out any still loyal to Saddam Hussein. Those who pass the vetting could then track down the troops who had served under them in order to re-assemble complete companies and battalions rapidly.

A TIME OF NEED IS UPON US
The New York Times, November 2, 2003 - As New York City teems once more with a boom-time population of eight million, its signature Dickensian dichotomy brims before our eyes: poverty and homelessness are on the rise even as the streets hum with ambitious newcomers and the average price of a Manhattan apartment rockets toward the million-dollar mark. The city's clashing mix of opulence and opportunity, hard labor and raw daily indigence has rarely been so palpable. Neither has the need for some down-home charity. For all its resilience after the Sept. 11 disaster, the city finds 18 of 100 residents impoverished. [That's 18%]
The time could not be riper for The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund, the annual plea to concerned readers to extend some basic charity to the many New Yorkers caught in harsh straits. For 91 years, the fund has channeled millions of dollars to time-proven institutions facing the problems that hammer upon the poor.
Homelessness has become an endemic problem lately for city children; the statistical drop in welfare rolls is illusory for working mothers on minimum wages. Charities working with the Neediest Cases Fund find grandparents becoming primary caretakers in the most troubled families, where poor nutrition generates school failure and dangerous child obesity.

PENTAGON SYSTEM HOPES TO IDENTIFY WALKS
[TruthinChrist] May 29, 2003 You might think that you can refuse (to ID yourself with the SAN) but the cost of doing so is rising exponentially. My 16 year old son (now almost 18) fought the state of PA over the issue of getting a learner's permit without having an SSAN for over 6 months which is a long time for a teenager waiting to drive. He finally acquiesced and got a number and gave it when it became clear that we were not financially able to fight the system over this. I currently have state mandated car insurance without having to attach my SSAN to my policy, but I may not be able to continue this at my renewal in October. The insurance company, when faced with the prospect of refunding my large, paid in advance yearly premium decided to let me slide on the non-provision of an SSAN.
The state does not have my SSAN attached to my driver's license though I had to forgo having a picture ID to do this and it was only through a quirk in the system that I was able to slip through. It was necessary that I put a large sum in escrow in order to get a cell phone without giving an SSAN. SSANs are now required for almost all activities that involve a license or state registration. SSANs are required to get a state marriage license. How many pastors will perform the ceremony if the couple does not have a license in hand? Would you give your blessing to the marriage of your children if they did so without a license and the ceremony was performed without the sanction of the state?
Lacking the license, would this couple be forbidden to file a joint tax return and would their children be considered bastards? In truth, real commitment to the refusal to use the SSAN as an identifier will soon, if not already, make one an outcast, unable to work, marry, own property, do banking, own a telephone and travel by any means other than foot or public transportation. I'm not sure if you can fly now without state photo ID which can only be gained with an SSAN. John S. [truthinchrist]

TEN MILLION DOLLARS PAID TO MEXICO FOR INFORMATION ON ITS CITIZENS
1) I hope you do not give your social security # to blockbuster video and the grocery store. Did you realize that there was a pledge at the time the social security # was created not to allow it to be used as an ID #? And legally, the vestiges of that law are still on the books? You can still refuse. I do.
But, the larger picture... DARPA does have a database. They recently paid $10 million to Mexico for information on its citizens to add to the population of this database.
The process is called data mining. It looks for patterns in unrelated data. The software exists. The database exists. The program was called "Total Information Awareness" until last week, when they changed their name because of protest. However, they did not change the stated goals.
Correct, if you just happen to eat at the same restaurants, in the same order, in the same amount, or shop at the same grocery stores on the same days, or rent the same videos or buy the same books, in the same quantities, or any combination of the above (coincidence though it may be) as known terrorists, or suspected terrorists, you will be hauled in and interrogated and marked as a suspected terrorist.
In this country, once you are a "suspected terrorist," thanks to the USA Patriot act, you have no rights to an attorney, no right to a jury trial.
The entire DARPA TIA program is explainable on their own website, www.darpa.mil
But yes, you can be held like an "enemy combatant" or whatever. Your civil rights will be stripped. You may even be stripped of your citizenship.
All because you eat the same things, or shop the same way, or go the same places, or spend money the same way as a suspected terrorist profile.
Not only can it happen, it will. Why are people not alarmed? How many people (neighbors, friends, church-mates) do you talk to, that don't even know that there were 5 terrorist bombings in Israel last week. People purposely avoid the news. They do not know what is going on in this world and they do not want to know. They avoid knowing. Just give them their circuses. I can't get my friends interested in the truth or in the news to save (their) lives. It's sad. So that's why there is no outcry. Most of them don't even know what's going on. They'd rather see their favorite movie and believe in fairy tales. They're afraid. [Source: emailer: S.]

BE AFRAID: THE NEW WORLD ORDER'S FASCIST PEDIGREE

Martin says this Nazi design will also be used for the triangular arm badges and hats given to participants in the new Neighborhood Watch program. A commercial with Ed McMahon, the new Department of Justice spokesman, suggests that you cooperate with the Neighborhood Watch Association.

A JEW CONFESSES EMBARRASSMENT
The Jewish moral mission? How about "Thou Shall Not Steal" and "Thou Shall Not Kill?" Zionists have stolen the homes and land where Arabs lived for more than 50 generations. Israelis must withdraw to the 1967 boundaries, and make restitution.
I am accused of being "a self hating Jew." I believe Jews like myself, Israel Shahak and many others represent the true Jewish spirit: absolute truth, justice and love. (I also find this spirit in Christianity and Islam.)
We cannot change the truth just because we don't like it. The real cause of anti Semitism is found in the Jewish religion and in the role of the Jewish elite, their lackeys and dupes.

KABUL MAJOR PRODUCER OF MORPHINE AND REFINED HEROIN
Afghanistan was the world's leading grower and exporter of opium, the base for morphine and heroin. When the Taliban regime drove the Afghan Communists from power in 1996, they vowed to eradicate opium, though it was the dirt-poor nation's only cash crop. By 2001, according to UN drug agencies, the Taliban had totally eradicated opium production in areas it controlled. The only production of opium during the Taliban era was done by its bitter foe, the Northern Alliance. The Bush administration was giving millions in anti-drug aid to the Taliban until four months before the 9/11 attacks.
After 9/11, the Taliban was demonized by the Bush administration and U.S. media for refusing to hand over Osama bin Laden without first seeing evidence of his guilt. The U.S. invasion followed, the Taliban was overthrown and retreated into the mountains. When the Northern Alliance seized power in Kabul with help from Russia and the U.S., it revived opium growing and soon began producing morphine and refined heroin, processes formerly performed in Pakistan.
Major heroin producer today is Afghanistan, a U.S. protectorate, is again the leading producer of heroin, accounting for 4,000 tons annually, 75% of total world production.
The head of Russia's anti-drug agency calls the situation in Afghanistan "catastrophic." Yet it is the Northern Alliance-run regime, and its U.S., Russian and NATO supporters, who are responsible for this drug epidemic. After Indochina and Central America, the U.S. once again finds itself in bed with major drug dealers. The Bush administration has reportedly ordered agents from its own Drug Enforcement Agency in Pakistan to turn a blind eye to the narcotics dealing of its Northern Alliance allies.

JUSTICE DEPT DRAFTS SWEEPING EXPANSION OF ANTI-TERRORISM ACT CENTER PUBLISHES SECRET DRAFT OF 'PATRIOT II' LEGISLATION
Dr. David Cole, Georgetown University Law professor and author of Terrorism and the Constitution, reviewed the draft legislation at the request of the Center, and said that the legislation “raises a lot of serious concerns. It’s troubling that they have gotten this far along and they’ve been telling people there is nothing in the works.” This proposed law, he added, “would radically expand law enforcement and intelligence gathering authorities, reduce or eliminate judicial oversight over surveillance, authorize secret arrests, create a DNA database based on unchecked executive 'suspicion,’ create new death penalties, and even seek to take American citizenship away from persons who belong to or support disfavored political groups.”
Some of the key provision of the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 include:
Section 201, “Prohibition of Disclosure of Terrorism Investigation Detainee Information”: Safeguarding the dissemination of information related to national security has been a hallmark of Ashcroft’s first two years in office, and the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 follows in the footsteps of his October 2001 directive to carefully consider such interest when granting Freedom of Information Act requests. While the October memo simply encouraged FOIA officers to take national security, “protecting sensitive business information and, not least, preserving personal privacy” into account while deciding on requests, the proposed legislation would enhance the department’s ability to deny releasing material on suspected terrorists in government custody through FOIA.

(Oct. 13) It was announced by the chairman of EDS that the White House has given EDS a 'good corporate citizen award' for its plan to export substantially all of its operations to India and China. EDS, a US government information technology (IT) contractor, has also announced that the first phase of this program has been undertaken, and it will entail the transfer of 3,500 jobs to India. Inevitably, when the process is complete, EDS will be left with US operations, consisting only of its worldwide corporate headquarters staff, its technical support staff, and its worldwide sales staff. All other functions and production will be exported to India and China. That’s what the Bush Cabal considers a 'good corporate citizen.'.. http://www.almartinraw.com/

OPINION: WHY GEORGE BUSH WILL NOT BE RE-ELECTED??
Geopolitics and theology, for most self-described sophisticates are mutually exclusive. In particular, any attempt to explain political events via religious causes is the antithesis of modern political analysis. However, as a born-again Christian, President Bush certainly believes that God is concerned with, and is intimately involved in, the affairs of the world. Most born-again Christians see the rebirth of Israel in 1948 and its survival and prosperity as necessary conditions for the “second-coming” of the Messiah. Thus, Bush’s “vision” of a Palestinian state – by necessity, a terrorist state carved out of Israel – constitutes a most dangerous threat to the survival of Israel. It is clear to them, and to every clear-thinking person with knowledge of Islam and of the Palestinian Charter and the goals contained therein, that the Palestinian state, if it ever comes into being, will have as its predominant goal the destruction of Israel. Anyone denying that basic tenet is smoking something illegal.
So, the question is: Why would George Bush betray one of the basic tenets of his Christian fundamentalism? And why did he allow 140 Saudis – some close relatives of Osama Bin Laden – to escape the U.S. by plane immediately after the September 11, 2001 disaster? It appears that the Bush family’s financial ties to the Saudi royal clan led him to compromise his loyalty to his religious beliefs and to his nation.For the whole story go to:

LATEST MANDATE IS AN INTEGRATED PA TERRORIST FORCE?
When U.S. President George W. Bush put pressure on Israel for some photo-ops for his presidential campaign, the last thing he thought he was doing was pressing for the creation of an integrated Palestinian terrorist force armed and trained for the next round of battle against the Jewish State. But that is what is happening.
It is only a matter of time before the security experts roll their eyes as they explain that it was obvious to anyone with working gray matter between their ears that when you take the highly motivated, ideologically driven, locally popular terrorist heroes of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Tanzim and integrate them into the PA forces that they will become the dominant force and leadership in the united PA security force.

HOW THE FINANCIAL MEDIA GETS BUYERS
Aug 11, 2003 - On radio shows, I am often asked, "How do we tell the American people?" And therein lies the great obstacle in telling the truth -- anyone who tells the truth is going to be instantly labeled a "conspiracy theorist." The reason people get that label is because 90% of the American people don’t understand what they’re saying. If the American people don’t understand it, they instantly dismiss it as being "untrue." And therein lies another great conspiracy of government. This is simply the conflict of "belief systems" wherein our government, our educational system and everything that makes this society work tells you that if you don’t understand it, then its no good, get rid of it " or it tells you "Don’t worry. You don’t have to understand it." Leave it to Washington. http://www.almartinraw.com/

STRANGELY ENOUGH POWER FAILURES ARE OCCURRING IN A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES OVERSEAS AS WELL - NO SIGN OF A REMEDY.
Recent New York Power Grid Dilemma
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 - While energy experts differed on the precise cause of today's power blackout, they were in agreement that the extensive failure betrayed the age of the region's transmission system and its struggles to keep up with demand.
``We are a major superpower with a third-world electrical grid,'' said Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, an energy secretary during the Clinton administration. ``Our grid is antiquated. It needs serious modernization.'' ...
Earlier this year, the council issued its annual summer reliability assessment of the supply of electricity, and concluded that the nation should have adequate resources. It warned of possible problems, particularly around New York City, if power generation should fall or if extreme weather produced unusual demand.
Power Failure Reveals a Creaky System, Energy Experts Believe Energy legislation tied up in Congress for more than two years could lead to structural improvements in the nation's power infrastructure. But the electricity provisions are snagged in regional and political conflicts, with Southern lawmakers worried that their states will end up subsidizing Northern consumers. The House and Senate have passed separate energy bills, and the blackout is certain to figure prominently into negotiations over a final measure when Congress returns next month.
During the California blackouts of 2001, several members of Congress proposed spending $350 million to improve the nation's transmission system, but the measure was opposed by the Bush administration and was voted down by Congressional Republicans.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said the blackout today caused seven nuclear power plants in New York and New Jersey and two in the Midwest to shut down automatically.
The power plants feed electricity out into the wider grid of transmission wires, but they run their systems on power pulled back in from that grid. When there is a disruption in that incoming power, the plants automatically shut down their reactors and switch to diesel-fueled backup generators.
The nuclear plants cannot be turned back on until the rest of the grid has power produced by other plants running on coal, gas or other fuels, said Scott Burnell, a spokesman for the regulatory commission in its headquarters in Rockville, Md.

GODLESS LIFE TURNS INTO SUICIDE - FAME AND FORTUNE WERE EMPTY
Los Angeles (AP) -- Oct 22, 2003 Elliott Smith, a singer-songwriter whose dark, introspective songs won him critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination, has apparently committed suicide, his publicist and coroner's officials said Wednesday. He was 34.
Smith was found by his live-in girlfriend Tuesday, Los Angeles County Coroner Records Supervisor Marsha Grigsby told AP Radio.
He sustained a single stab wound to the chest that appeared to be self-inflicted, she said.
Smith's New York-based publicist, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also confirmed his death.
Lyrically, they addressed such dark subject matter as drug addiction, troubled relationships and loneliness - though Smith tried to distance himself from the label of confessional songwriter...
Smith had recently spoken in interviews about his struggles with alcoholism. "When I lived in New York I was really a bad alcoholic for a few years," he told Under the Radar magazine in an interview published in June 2003.

300 ILLEGAL WORKERS ARRESTED AT WALMARTS
By Suzanne Gamboa, AP NNE - WASHINGTON (Oct. 23) - Federal officials arrested more than 300 illegal workers at 61 Wal-Mart stores across the country early Thursday morning and searched the office of one of the retail chain's corporate executives, a federal official said.
Several law enforcement sources who spoke on condition of anonymity said the investigation grew out of earlier probes of Wal-Mart cleaning crew contractors in 1998 and 2001. Based on recordings of meetings and conversations among Wal-Mart executives, managers and contractors, the law enforcement officials said ''various immigration violations had continued to occur with direct knowledge by the Wal-Mart corporation.''

EPA BOSS RESIGNS
Christie Whitman's resignation as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency leaves the environment without a single reliable defender inside the Bush administration.
Mrs. Whitman's announced reason for leaving is her desire to return to her home life in New Jersey.
Mrs. Whitman's most embarrassing moment was President Bush's decision to renounce the Kyoto Protocol on global warming only weeks after Mrs. Whitman had assured America's European allies that the administration was committed to finding ways to reduce greenhouse gases.
She also found herself in the awkward position of having to renounce and rewrite various rules governing industrial air pollution, rules she had vigorously defended when she was governor of New Jersey.
Finally — and again under White House pressure — she initiated a review of key sections of the Clean Water Act that some fear could weaken longstanding protections for wetlands and streams.
Mrs. Whitman's admirers say she should never have signed on with the Bush crowd in the first place, given its fundamental hostility to the federal regulatory tradition that the E.P.A. so conspicuously represents. Even so, Mr. Bush may well seek out another "moderate" in order to present a more environmentally friendly face to the electorate in 2004. That, of course, will be nothing more than a cynical gesture if Mrs. Whitman's successor ends up wielding as little power as she did.

9/11 COMMISSION COULD SUBPOENA OVAL OFFICE FILES
The New York Times - MADISON, N.J., Oct. 25 2003 - The chairman of the federal commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks says that the White House is continuing to withhold several highly classified intelligence documents from the panel and that he is prepared to subpoena the documents if they are not turned over within weeks.
The chairman, Thomas H. Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, also said in an interview on Friday that he believed the bipartisan 10-member commission would soon be forced to issue subpoenas to other executive branch agencies because of continuing delays by the Bush administration in providing documents and other evidence needed by the panel.
"Any document that has to do with this investigation cannot be beyond our reach," Mr. Kean said on Friday in his first explicit public warning to the White House that it risked a subpoena and a politically damaging courtroom showdown with the commission over access to the documents, including Oval Office intelligence reports that reached President Bush's desk in the weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks.

USING POLICE STATE TACTICS UNHEARD OF
Using Police State tactics unheard of in this country until recently, 14 heavily armed officers literally invaded a South Carolina high school! For the past two years, Cutting Edge has been warning that this country is facing a gradual police state takeover, working so gradually that the average citizen would not realize what was happening until it was too late.
Our concerns were several-fold:
1. Local police forces were being taken over by the state and by Federal agencies
2. They were being equipped like SWAT teams and were being trained in such aggressive tactics
3. Our traditional rights as citizens were subverted to the point where police agencies were likely to "shoot first, ask questions later". All three of these concerns are mirrored in this terrible incident [http://www.cuttingedge.org]

NEWS BRIEF: "GUN-WIELDING COPS CONDUCT DRUG SWEEP AT SCHOOL
Drug Sweep Finds No Drugs", KSAT.com, November 7, 2003: "A drug sweep Wednesday morning at a South Carolina school has some parents and students questioning police tactics. Surveillance video from Stratford High School in Goose Creek shows 14 officers, some with guns drawn, ordering students to lie the ground as police searched for marijuana. Students who didn't comply with the orders quickly enough were reportedly handcuffed. Police didn't find any criminals in the armed sweep ... they had guns put to their head."
The story did not mention that the police had any kind of court order or warrant, which means they were operating on their own, outside any court control. Of course, this kind of unilateral police action is exactly the kind of danger to our liberties of which we have been warning. Just as we have noted that, when God gets ready to deliver physical judgment upon a nation, He begins to cause events that occur "by the numbers sacred to the occult", in the same vein, I believe God is allowing events such as this to get the attention of His people, alerting them to the type of tyranny about to break upon our heads. We are in deep trouble when heavily armed policemen can invade a high school without court warrants, point their guns at our kid's heads, and handcuff some -- all on the basis of bogus information! http://www.cuttingedge.org/newsletters/
