Another Zombie Hits the News

It seems like a few months ago we had about 4 days in a row where someone was eating another person.  It seemed to start with the FL man eating the homeless man and then the stories kept coming.

Today we have another one.

HAWLEY, Pa. (CBS) – A Doylestown man, who was naked and bleeding profusely, gnawed on woman’s head all while “screaming like an animal” during a wild neighborhood rampage, state police said.

While inside that home, police say Ciminio walked up to the home’s second floor and jumped out a window, causing severe injuries to his arms and legs when he hit the ground.

Bleeding profusely at this point, Ciminio then encountered two females who were walking down the street.

State Police say Ciminio tackled one of the females, causing injury to her and covered her in his blood. Investigators say Ciminio then “began to gnaw” at the victim’s head while “screaming like an animal.”

Gnawing on a woman's head and screaming like an animal.....sounds like a zombie to me.

U.S. Credit Rating Cut....Again

The USA has had a AAA rating for it's entire debt history until a few years ago.  It was MAJOR news when it lost it's AAA rating.

The rating continues to be ratcheted down and last another notch yesterday....and it will barely make the news.

Ratings firm Egan-Jones cut its credit rating on the U.S. government to "AA-" from "AA," citing its opinion that quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve would hurt the U.S. economy and the country's credit quality.

 

The Fed on Thursday said it would pump $40 billion into the U.S. economy each month until it saw a sustained upturn in the weak jobs market. (Read more: Fed's 'QE Infinity' — Four Things That Could Go Wrong)

 

In its downgrade, the firm said that issuing more currency and depressing interest rates through purchasing mortgage-backed securities does little to raise the U.S.'s real gross domestic product, but reduces the value of the dollar.

 

Here;  http://www.cnbc.com/id/49037337

 

Yep...all it will do is reduce the value of the dollar and raise the costs of food, fuel and other necessities.

 

No doubt the FED just entered uncharted waters for the FIRST TIME EVER.

 

 

QE 3....HERE WE COME!

They call it quantitative easing.  The reason they do that is so it sounds really smart and beside that not one person in one thousand has any idea what it is.

The Federal Reserve’s open-ended effort to jumpstart the economy could top $1 trillion, dwarfing the central bank's last bond-buying sprees, a Wall Street economist said Friday.

The Fed’s move to purchase $40 billion per month of mortgage-backed bonds indefinitely has drawn its share of detractors and skeptics. Yet Diane Swonk, Mesirow Financial’s chief economist, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that she believes the Fed’s third round of quantitative easing will buttress the economy.

“I think this will end up being a trillion-dollar commitment by the Fed,” Swonk said, adding that the eventual price tag of QE3 could exceed that of the $600 billion expended on QE2 —provided the Fed continues its efforts for at least two years.

“They could even up their game again and do some compensating for [Operation] ‘Twist’ by the end of the year” by coupling QE3 with their existing bond-buying program, Operation Twist.

He also warned that more bond buying could lead to another surge in oil and other commodities.

Here;  http://www.cnbc.com/id/49035646

Uh-oh....there is the warning about inflation....they call it a surge in oil and commodities prices.

Me;  "Excuse me Mr Fed....question?...I'm in the back row....thanks for calling on me....If the FED has $40 billion to spend every month indefinitely, why wouldn't you just transfer all that money to the U.S. government so we don't have to borrow all the billions and trillions from foreign governments, many of whom don't really like us and would like to see us collapse in anarchy?"

FED: "Yes, thank you...that is a great question....we call it quantitative easing and it's a process in which we quantitate the mortgage back securities and then we delineate the derivatives so that we can have fiscal results that are primary to our purpose of kick starting the economy."

Me;  "So does that mean you DON'T have any money...and that this is really just a big Ponzi scheme that is going to collapse around us like soggy sweat pants in the rain?  Are you just making up all those words?"

FED  "Let me direct you to some real news...have you seen Princess Kate's topless photos?  Please check them out so that we can get on with fixing the thing-a-ma-jig.  Thank you all for coming!"

It Has NOTHING to do With The Film!!

The breathless media is trying to cover the facts about why 5 U.S. embassies are under attack in the Middle East.  Of course many of the headlines I read say something like this; "Arab protests continue over U.S. made film profaning Islam."

Really?????  Is that what the protests are about????   Some backyard movie that mentioned Muhammad??

Here is another one that just came across Google; 

Anti-American Protests Over Film Expand to More Than a Dozen Countries Come on people!!  If it wasn't this film it would be about the other 50,000,000 videos on YouTube that could have been translated to Arabic and offended them.   This is about militant Islam smelling blood in the water and realizing that America has been weakened and that if they push us hard and overthrow Western Civilization....then the 13th Caliphate with Shariah law can FINALLY be brought in.   Satan is roaring and he can smell that his time is near.  The Satanic hordes have been set loose.  They will NEVER make friends with America.  They will NEVER usher in a democracy like the U.S. has.  It simply can not exist with the Koran and those who insist on being ruled by Koranic law...also called Shariah law.   The sooner that sleep Americans can wake up to this fact the sooner we can start calling a spade a 'spade'.    The sooner that sleepy Christians can wake up to this fact the sooner that we can begin to focus our prayers and start praying for our enemies.    Defeating them in the spiritual realm has to become PRIORITY #1.

UFO's Causing 'Trumpets of the Apocalypse'?

Here is a video you should watch if you are unfamiliar with the strange sounds being recorded from all over the world. 

I have not seen a good explanation for what is making these sounds.  They sound like trumpets.

What is really interesting is that they seem to be in the same pitch, playing the same notes where ever they are recorded.

The clip that I have posted is making the claim that UFO activity is reported in the area where the sounds are being heard.

Watch it here;  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbusOqxj4pE

Some Bible readers are wondering if this isn't the angels warming up their lips to blow the trumpets which will sound announcing the rapture of the church.

Some alien watchers are wondering if these sounds aren't announcing the soon return of alien beings from other planets....which we believe are actually demons in disguise.

Other Bible readers wonder if this is what is sounds like when the earth groans....groaning for what it will become once Christ returns.

I guess we will all have to be Bereans and see if we can make any sense, or truth, of what this phenomenon really is.

Islam: How to Correctly Beat Your Wife

I did a post yesterday about how Pat Robertson had told someone that they should convert to Islam so he could discipline his wife with beatings.

Poor Pat...the Huffington Post was not amused with his answer. 

But maybe he had just finished watching all the YouTube videos out there by Muslims explaining how to correctly beat your wife.

Remember, only use a short rod and stay away from the face if they refuse your request for sex.

Here;  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-Tw7WhH_aQ

When you finish watching this video you will see that there are plenty more about how to beat your wife, how to beat your kids, how to beat your donkey...and then plenty on how to execute someone who disagrees with your version of Allah and Muhammad.

Maybe we should show this video on ABC, NBC, CBS and then all go down and protest at the Egyptian embassy, tear down it's walls and cause some mayhem to show them how angry we are at their videos?

Thanks Tom F.

Obama Has Time for David Letterman

Yesterday we posted on the news that President Obama didn't have time in his schedule to meet with PM Netanyahu during the UN meetings in NY at the end of the month.

Today we find out from Joel Rosenberg that Pres Obama DOES have time to appear on the David Letterman Show while in NY.....and of course Letterman trumps Netanyahu on the eve of nuclear war....after all, he is funny and is very popular with Democratic voters...where as Netanyahu hasn't been a lot of fun...as of late.

Signaling a new low in U.S.-Israeli relations -- especially troubling with a possible major war in the Middle East so close at hand -- President Obama turned down two possibilities for a personal meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli premier comes to the U.S. later this month. Obama aides say the President simply doesn't have time on his schedule for Netanyahu. The President reportedly will have time to appear on "The Late Show" with David Letterman while he's in New York, however. A Wall Street Journal editorial on Wednesday morning said the White House message to Israel seems to be, "You're on your own, pal."

In some of his strongest comments to date (comments that struck me as suggesting the Israeli leader may be so fed up with the White House that he is to go it alone against Iran), Netanyahu told reporters on Tuesday that because the international community refuses to set "red lines" for Iran's nuclear program or even a deadline for diplomacy and economic sanctions to be effective or be terminated, the world has "no moral right" to tell the Israeli government it cannot take military action to defend her people.
ABC News reports: "An Israeli official told ABC News that Netanyahu's office requested a meeting with Obama but was told that because of the president's tight schedule it wouldn't be possible. The official admitted that with just a day and a half open, the window wasn't very big, although the official said the Israelis did offer to go to Washington if a meeting in New York was not possible. The meeting was requested when the trip was made official more than a week ago and was declined "in the last few days," according to the Israeli official. This will be the first time Netanyahu has visited the United States as prime minister and not met with Obama."

"Netanyahu is traveling to the U.S. to attend the U.N. General Assembly. Obama is expected to address the UNGA on September 25, while Netanyahu will speak in New York on September 28," reports Ynet News.

This is very disturbing behavior for an American President who says that America "will always have Israel's back" and claims Israel is one of America's "greatest allies." The President should always make time for an ally facing the growing threat of a nuclear holocaust.

"In a blistering response to a Sunday statement by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton that the United States is 'not setting deadlines' for Iran to abandon its alleged weapons program, Netanyahu said that if no 'red line' is established, Iran will continue to pursue an atomic bomb," reported the Washington Post. "'The world tells Israel: 'Wait. There's still time.' And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?' Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel," Netanyahu told reporters in Jerusalem."

Food Shortages and Riots are Coming

We have been watching this develop over the past 5 years...and it should come as no surprise when it happens.  Jesus told us VERY SPECIFICALLY that there will be famine.

Right now the world is on a razor's edge when it comes to food supplies.  And please remember that when groceries go up 20% in America, it is frustrating but no one begins to starve to death.

But for a large percentage of the world this isn't true.  They were already spending most of the income on food.  So when the price goes up...they go hungry.  And hungry people are driven to desperation.

A devastating global food crisis unlike anything we have ever seen in modern times is coming. Crippling drought and bizarre weather patterns have damaged food production all over the world this summer, and the UN and the World Bank have both issued ominous warnings about the food inflation that is coming.

To those of us in the Western world, a rise in the price of food can be a major inconvenience, but in the developing world it can mean the difference between life and death. Just remember what happened back in 2008. When food prices hit record highs it led to food riots in 28 different countries. Today, there are approximately 2 billion people that are malnourished around the globe. Even rumors of food shortages are enough to spark mass chaos in many areas of the planet. When people fear that they are not going to be able to feed their families they tend to get very desperate. That is why a recent CNN article declared that “2013 will be a year of serious global crisis“.

The truth is that we are not just facing rumors of a global food crisis – one is actually starting to unfold right in front of our eyes. The United States experienced the worst drought in more than 50 years this summer, and some experts are already declaring that the weather has been so dry for so long that tremendous damage has already been done to next year’s crops. On the other side of the world, Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan have all seen their wheat crops devastated by the horrible drought this summer. Australia has also been dealing with drought, and in India monsoon rains were about 15 percent behind pace in mid-August. Global food production is going to be much less than expected this year, and global food demand continues to steadily rise. What that means is that food inflation, food shortages and food riots are coming, and it isn’t going to be pretty.

The United States exports more food than anyone else in the world, and that is why the entire globe has been nervously watching the horrific drought in the United States this summer with deep concern.

It has been the worst drought in more than 50 years, and it has absolutely devastated corn crops all over the nation. According to Bill Witherell, the U.S. corn crop this year “is said to be on a par with that of 1988 crop, the worst in the past thirty years.”

Sadly, this will be the third year in a row that the yield for corn has declined in the United States.

That has never happened before in the history of the United States.

Here;  http://www.prisonplanet.com/food-inflation-food-shortages-and-food-riots-are-coming.html

Never happened before?!  How many times a day can the media tell us about events that have never happened before?  Have we EVER been in such an extreme time?

And here is a related news item as well...as Mexico's President warns of a coming food crisis in 2013.

World leaders must take swift action to avert a possible food price shock in 2013, Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon says, warning unchecked price volatility in staple food items could trigger an escalation in poverty to crisis levels.

“I'm afraid that this new phenomenon of rising of prices of food around the world will provide a new round of crisis related with poverty,” Calderon told CNBC in an exclusive interview on Tuesday.

“The problems in Africa, even the Arab spring, in my opinion are some way or another related to the price of food,” Calderon said, adding that next year could mark “a new round of very high prices.”

“All the countries should do something and quickly in order to avoid any social and political turmoil around the world,” he added.

 

See that one here;  http://www.cnbc.com//id/48996423

 

Yes...all the countries should do something and quickly.....ummm....what would you suggest Mr. Calderon?  You sound like a contestant for Miss Universe...."If I am given this title I will do something for world peace."

 

Can the countries make it rain?  That's the ONLY answer for a drought Mr. Calderon.

 

He is right that the countries SHOULD do something quickly....and the answer is they should all humbles themselves and repent of their evil ways and pray to the God of heaven, the ONE TRUE GOD, so that He may hear their prayers and heal their lands.

 

You think that will happen?  Does Allah answer prayers??  Does Buddha?  How about the Mormon god?  How about the god from the church of Scientology?  Maybe the cow-god that they worship in India??

 

Friends, this earth is a nightmare and it appears the Prince of this Earth, (Satan) is getting ready to snap a trap.  It's a trap that he has been working on for the last 2000 years...and sadly, the churches of America, which were called to be salt and light and were supposed to be sounding the alarm...have been complicit. 

 

Jesus told us it would happen this way....but no one wants to listen.

Angry Muslims Attack U.S. Embassies

The Muslims are angry again.  This time in Egypt and Libya.

Why are they mad this time?  Because they were watching YouTube videos and saw some guy from America post a movie that was unflattering of Muhammad.

So what did they do?  They stormed the U.S. embassy in Libya and Egypt and killed a U.S. diplomat.

Protesters angered over a film that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad fired gunshots and burned down the US consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, killing one American diplomat, witnesses and the State Department said. While in Egypt, protesters scaled the walls of the US embassy in Cairo and replaced an American flag with an Islamic banner.

It was the first such assaults on US diplomatic facilities in either country, at a time when both Libya and Egypt are struggling to overcome the turmoil following the ouster of their longtime leaders, Muammar Gaddafi and Hosni Mubarak in uprisings last year.

The protests in both countries were sparked by outrage over a film ridiculing Muhammad produced by an American in California and being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the United States. Excerpts from the film dubbed into Arabic were posted on YouTube.

Here;  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/12/american-killed-consulate-benghazi?newsfeed=true

The Satanic horde is on edge people.

I know what we should do....let's send them some more money in the hopes that they will like us....yeah that should work!  Maybe if we send Egypt some more fighter jets, guns, bombs and continue to train their military....then they will like us and quit calling us the "great Satan".  Maybe if our President were to celebrate Ramadan....then they would like us!

Seriously...we need to pray for our enemies.  These people are so lost that they act like 2 year olds...except they are armed with guns and machetes.

They have been brainwashed into the lies of Islam since childhood and now that they have the Internet they have access to what the free societies can post on any social media outlet.

If they are going to start surfing the web looking for something 'offensive' posted from America, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden or any other free society....they better have lots of guns, machetes and free time....because they are going to be rioting and breaking down embassies from now until Jesus returns.

Of course our first gut reaction is to say we should just close all our embassies in these god-forsaken lands, bring our people home, put our guns on all our borders and tell them all to go pound sand.

That's called ISOLATIONISM.....and even a cursory reading of history will show that this move always leads to world war.

Remember...it starts with a war of words, which leads to currency wars, which leads to trade wars, which leads to shooting wars.

Pat Robertson, "Convert to Islam to Beat Your Wife"

I don't watch Pat Robertson, but of course many people love him.  The other people that seem to love him are people who lay in wait to watch followers of Christ say stupid things.

In the clip posted on Huffington Post, you will see Pat tell a person who writes him for advice, clearly tell him that he should become a Muslim so he can beat his wife...because she kind of needs it.

See it here; http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/11/pat-robertson-become-muslim-to-beat-your-wife_n_1873142.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

Of course we know that many Muslims do beat their wives.  Of course we know that many other people beat their wives.

Some things are better left unsaid...even if he did mean it as a joke.  Pat certainly isn't going to help bring Muslims to Christ by his comments.

The other interesting thing is to read the comments following the article.  It's pretty entertaining to read what people are saying about Pat and Christians.

Is Canada the New Leader of the Free World?

When I spoke in adult education last Sunday I mentioned the headline reporting that Canada had closed it's Iranian embassy in Tehran and also expelled the Iranian diplomats from Canada. 

I joked that maybe we should be checking on options for moving from America to Canada if the 'blessings and curses' mentioned in the Bible were going to continue to play out.

Today, we have this video clip asking the question if Canada is the new leader of the free world.

Watch how Netanyahu answers the question.

Israeli Science Says Obama Certificate a Forgery

Holy smoke and mirrors...this Obama birth certificate issue simply will not die.  Was the dude born in America or not?  No one seems to be able to prove one of the other....to any one's satisfaction.

It's just more evidence of how polarized and divisive this nation has become...we can't even agree on what a 'fact' is.

Israel Science and Technology, the national database and directory of science and technology-related websites in Israel, has published an article asserting the long-form birth certificate released by the White House is a forged document.

The website was created by a former science adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Hanukoglu, Ph.D.

Hanukoglu, an award-winning researcher, is a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology in the Department of Molecular Biology at Ariel University Center of Samaria in Ariel, Israel.

The professor established the first version of his website during his tenure as Netanyahu’s science adviser. The site has evolved into “the premier science and technology portal for Israel.”

The website says that the White House’s release of the Obama document in April 2011, after years of controversy, “raised in our minds the possibility that there could be something suspicious about the information available on this document.”

The website conducted an independent analysis and cites others who came to the same conclusion.
The website says the publication “of such a blatantly fake document about something so basic as the birthplace of Mr. Obama, should raise great concern about the suitability of the person who is holding the reigns on the most powerful country of the World.”

Israel Science and Technology explains why, as a site of science and technology, it dedicated “a page to expose forgery about a document related to Mr. Barack Hussein Obama.”

“Mr. Obama is the president of the USA that is currently the leader of the Free World, and the most powerful country in the Western hemisphere,” the site says. “In his position as the President, the policies pursued by Mr. Obama affects the whole world and not just the USA.”

Here;  http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/israeli-science-website-obama-birth-certificate-forged/

Let me give you a 'black swan' hypothetical event.....let's say Obama is re elected in November and his supporters are ecstatic, but a Federal judge rules that Obama forged his birth certificate and is NOT eligible to be POTUS.  What would happen?  Would he be forced to step down?  Would Biden become the President?  Would rioting erupt in cities across the nation?  Would the National Guard be called out?  Could Marshal Law be imposed?

White House Says No to Netanyahu Meeting

Thanks Lisa H. for sending me this one.

John Bolton is right....Israel is all alone and a new low in relations between America and Israel has just been reached.

The White House declined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request on Tuesday to meet U.S. President Barack Obama during a UN conference in New York at the end of the month.
An official in Jerusalem said that the prime minister’s office sent the White House a message stating that although Netanyahu will spend only two and a half days on U.S. soil, he is interested in meeting Obama and is willing to travel to the U.S. capital specifically for that purpose. The official added that the White House rejected the request and said that at this time Obama’s schedule does not allow for a meeting.

The White House’s response marks a new low in relations between Netanyahu and Obama, underscored by the fact that this is the first time Netanyahu will visit the U.S. as prime minister without meeting the president.

Earlier on Tuesday, Netanyahu launched an unprecedented verbal attack on the U.S. government over its stance on the Iranian nuclear program.

So much for the special relationship between Israel and the U.S.

America is pulling away from Israel because we think we know better and we believe we are the adult in the situation and need to teach Israel a lesson.

In reality it is like we are a 2 yr old child pulling his hand away from his mother's firm grip and then running into traffic.

EMP Could Throw Iran Back to the Stone Age

We have been blogging about EMP's in the past because we are aware that these Electro Magnetic Pulses could knock out electricity to the USA, and we all know what would happen in the major cities in the U.S. if they had to go without electricity for a week, a month or multiple months.

Remember that an EMP can be caused be either a solar storm or the detonation of an atomic bomb in the atmosphere above the nation.

So as things continue to ramp up in the rhetoric department between Israel and Iran...it should come as no surprise that we see an EMP threat rise to the surface.

Israel might attack Iran by using electromagnetic pulses (EMP) that could cripple the country by shutting down its electronics and sending the Islamic Republic “back to the Stone Age,” The London Sunday Times reported.

EMP causes non-lethal gamma energy to react with the magnetic field and produces a powerful electromagnetic shock wave that can destroy electronic devices, especially those used in Iran’s nuclear plants.

The shock wave would knock out Iran’s power grid and communications systems for transport and financial services, leading to economic collapse.

The “back to the Stone Age” tactic was first proposed in an Arutz Sheva (Israel National News) article in early August by Dr. Joe Tuzara, after another Arutz Sheva oped writer, attorney Mark Langfan described its power in an earlier article. A former clinical research-physician-general surgeon for Saudi Arabian, Philippine and American healthcare systems, he wrote, “The wild card is in Israel’s hand - with Electronic Magnetic Pulse (EMP) inscribed on it. If Israel chooses one of its Jericho III missiles to detonate a single EMP warhead at high altitude over north central Iran, there will be with no blast or radiation effects on the ground.”

He explained that one effect of the EMP attack would be that, “Iran’s uranium enrichment centrifuges in Fordo, Natanz and widely scattered elsewhere, would freeze for decades.”

The WorldNetDaily reported three weeks ago, “Israelis have not ruled out a Jericho III missile launch to detonate a single electromagnetic pulse warhead at high altitude over central Iran."

Here;  http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/159777

Yes, the wild card IS in Israel's hand.  Can you imagine the hatred that would be directed toward Israel if they did this?  Why?  Because the CNN cameras would be over in Iran showing the extreme hardship and nightmare scenario for the average Iranian citizen who has now be sent back to the stone age.  Starvation, death, lawlessness, and mayhem would be the order of the day.

Now if you can imagine that....stop and try to imagine what would happen if Iran were able to successfully launch and EMP attack on the United States?

One simply can't imagine the mayhem....we may think we can imagine it.....but we can't.

Isn't it amazing that we live in a world where the actions of a few people could destroy an entire nation or even an entire civilization?

One thing we can cling to with 100% confidence.....GOD IS IN CONTROL!

Perils of U.S. Fiscal Cliff

We have been hearing a lot about this 'fiscal cliff' that the USA is said to be near to stepping off.

What's up?

Christine Lagarde has said the “US fiscal cliff” is one of the greatest threats to the global economy.

Speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation Summit in Vladivostok, Russia, the head of the International Monetary Fund said the US tax increases and spending cuts that come into effect in the new year, were one of the largest risks to the global economy.

She also named the eurozone crisis and medium-term public financing, as the two other greatest risk factors.

Her comments came as jitters grew over China, the global engine of growth, as it said its factories ran last month at their slowest rate for three years. It is the latest sign of a deepening slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy.

Here;  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9532222/IMF-chief-Lagarde-highlights-perils-of-US-fiscal-cliff.html

Holy melt down!  If China is now the global engine of growth and it's slowing down...and the USA is standing at the edge of a fiscal cliff...and the European Union is coming apart...and Japan is in debt trouble....who is going to save the global economy?  Is there a man out there who has some answers??  Can someone please call the Antichrist??  He will have some answers.

But wait a second....doesn't the rapture have to happen BEFORE the Antichrist is revealed?

"For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one (holy spirit) who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way (at the rapture).  And then the lawless one (Antichrist) will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming."  2 Thess. 2:7-8  (Read Revelation 19)

Wow....we could be hearing the trumpet any day now.

Yangtze River Turns Blood Red

This one is pretty strange...and you definitely want to see the pictures from the article.

As if this isn't strange enough...no one, as of yet, can tell us why this massive river turned blood red.

For a river known as the “golden watercourse,” red is a strange color to see.

Yet that’s the shade turning up in the Yangtze River and officials have no idea why.

The red began appearing in the Yangtze, the longest and largest river in China and the third longest river in the world, yesterday near the city of Chongquing, where the Yangtze connects to the Jialin River.

The Yangtze, called “golden” because of the heavy rainfall it receives year-round, runs through Chongqing, Southwest China’s largest industrial and commercial center, also known as the “mountain city” because of the hills and peaks upon which its many buildings and factories stand.

The red color stopped some residents in their tracks. They put water from the river in bottles to save it. Fishermen and other workers who rely on the river for income kept going about their business, according to the UK’s Daily Mail.

Here;  http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/09/yangtze-river-turns-red-and-turns-up-a-mystery/

Let's see....isn't there a passage in about Revelation 6 that talks about 1/3 of the sea turning into blood?

Of course I am not suggesting that we are in the Tribulation and certainly the Yangtze river is not the the sea....but it most certainly looks like this huge river is flowing blood.  Could it be another foreshadowing?

Could it be one more wake up call for the Children of the Light?

Notice the last sentence above, "....kept going about their business."  So here is this amazing sight and the folks who work on the Yangtze just yawned and went out fishing.

Sounds like most of the world.  Once in a lifetime events and things never seen before are happening almost on a daily basis warning us to repent and reach for the hand of salvation that Christ has extended to us....but we all just keep going about our business.
