FrankenStorm Threatens East Coast

The forecasters are coming up with all sorts of massive names for the epic storm barreling down on the East Coast.  Some are calling it 'stormageddon', 'frankenstorm', "megastorm', and the 'perfect storm...just to name a few.

Sounds like they want us to understand something big is coming.

(CNN) -- Sandy regained hurricane strength Saturday, as weather forecasts predict it will turn into a destructive "superstorm" that will impact the Eastern Seaboard as early as Sunday.

This storm will be studied for years to come, said Louis Uccellini, who is responsible for environmental prediction at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

 

CNN Weather estimates damage from Hurricane Sandy could reach $3.2 billion. This estimate is based only on wind damage and does not include flooding.

 

At least four states in its path, as well as the nation's capital, have declared states of emergency, and some airlines have announced they will allow passengers to change existing flights to and from Atlantic coast cities free of charge.

 

The resulting storm could sit over New England, making untold trouble for millions of residents, even dumping heavy snow in the Appalachians.

 

"Expect it to move very slowly," said James Franklin of the National Hurricane Center. "The large size of the system and its slow motion will mean a long-lasting event with two to three days of impacts."

 

The tropical storm force winds will likely spread over a vast distance, potentially up to 700 miles across, stretching from North Carolina to Maine, which could mean widespread power outages, according to CNN's Weather Unit.

 

Sandy has taken on a lopsided form, and its heaviest winds should be in the northern and eastern sections of the storm as it nears land -- and be directed inbound toward the coastline.

 

The surge is likely to hit during a full moon, when the tides are the highest, exacerbating coastal damage.

 

Computer models predict Delaware, Maryland and Virginia could see up to a foot of rainfall, according to the CNN Weather Unit. Isolated spots could see the worst rains in 500 years.

Worst rains in 500 years!!  $billions in damages!!!   Power outages for millions!!  Could even affect our nation's capital!!

Wait...how come our nation's capital has had the worst blizzard in 500 years, the worst earthquake in 500 years, the worst power outage in 500 years...and now the frankenstorm is descending on her with the worst rains in 500 years?? 

What the heck??  Did our nation do something wrong to deserve to be in this wrath-path? (yes, that rhymes)

I wonder if it has anything to do with Team Obama turning their back on Israel?

Another Cannibal Story in the News

People!!  What's with all the people eating other people lately?  Zombies and cannibals....is it really coming to that?

The complaint alleges that Valle, 28, exchanged electronic messages with an unnamed coconspirator "about kidnapping, cooking and eating body parts of [Victim 1]."

The complaint alleges that in addition to conspiring to kidnap "Victim 1," he had discussed plans to "kidnap, rape, torture, kill, cook and eat body parts of a number of women." He had allegedly created computer files pertaining to "at least 100 women and containing at least one photograph of each woman." According to the complaint, he used law enforcement databases to conduct surveillance on potential victims.

In an alleged on-line exchange between Valle and a coconspirator included in the complaint, Valle is quoted saying, "I was thinking of tying her body onto some kind of apparatus . . . cook her over a low heat, keep her alive as long as possible."

"I love that she is asleep right now not have the slightest clue of what we have planned," Valle allegedly wrote. "Her days are numbered . . . She does look tasty, doesn't she?"

"You do know if we don't waste any of her, there is nearly 75 lbs of food there," replied the alleged coconspirator, who also allegedly asked Valle, "How big is your oven?" and "What's your favorite cut of meat?"

Here;  http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/cannibal-cop-plotted-eat-100-women-feds/story?id=17562584

What's your favorite cut of meat?  Off of a human carcass???  Holy nasty!!!

The Bible says that ultimately God will give people over to the desires of their heart and the lusts of their flesh.  He calls to us and patiently waits for us to come to Him, but when we continue yearning for perversion...He will ultimately give us what we ask for.

That is one thought anyway.

I guess the other thought is that the Zombie Apocalypse is almost upon us and all this humans-eating-humans in the news is simply forshadowing those coming days.

Have you bought your guns and bullets?  How about some extra food for your pantry?  How about some first aid supplies?

U.S. Jews and Protestants Hit 45 yr Low

On Sunday, October 14 we blogged about the Bride of Christ cursing Israel.  http://thetrumpetblows.blogspot.com/2012/10/bride-of-christ-begins-cursing-israel.html

Today we have a follow up to that coming from Haaretz News in Israel.

Heading toward an irreparable rift between U.S. Jews and Protestants

As relations between Jews and mainline Protestants in the U.S. hit a 45-year low after 15 Protestant leaders sent a letter to Congress urging that aid to Israel be reconsidered.

There have always been ups and downs in the relations between mainline Protestants and American Jews, but they have now hit a 45-year low. And this time, they may not recover.
    

On October 5, fifteen mainline Protestant leaders sent a letter to Congress urging that American aid to Israel be reconsidered because of settlement building and human rights violations by Israel in the West Bank. Leaders of the Jewish community, across the ideological and religious spectrum, responded with dismay, disbelief, and outrage.

    

Relations between Jews and mainline Protestants have long been stormy. The exception is the honeymoon period of roughly 20 years following World War II. On the Protestant side, there was guilt over Christian silence during the Holocaust. On the Jewish side, there was a craving for respectability and acceptance that came with the Jewish migration from the cities to the suburbs. In addition, there was a broad convergence of values and interests; both sides were champions of civil rights and strict church-state separation.

The Congressional letter of October 5 must be seen in this context. Criticism of settlements is completely legitimate; I am an outspoken settlement critic myself. But the Protestant leaders made no effort to include in their letter words that might have reassured Jews and others that this effort was not motivated by hostility to Israel. They could have expressed the hope that the Palestinians would return to the negotiating table in the days ahead. They could have said that just as the Jewish people must welcome the Palestinian people as neighbors in a sovereign Palestinian state, so too must the Palestinian people welcome the Jewish people as neighbors in a sovereign Jewish state. They could have said that just as a two-state solution will require Israel to radically change its settlement policy, so too will it require the Palestinians to renounce the Right of Return and to declare the conflict with Israel over—once and for all.
    

But the Protestant leaders did none of these things. And by failing to do so, they aroused all of the suspicions that exist in the Jewish community about the real intentions of the letter.

Now please remember the hypocrisy of the U.S. telling Israel it can't build on 'occupied territory'....we who took millions of square miles from the Native Americans.

 

Please imagine if the Indians of the Pine Ridge Reservation started launching 6000 missiles into Rapid City and blew up suicide bombers in front of grade schools in Sturgis, SD....would those same Protestant "religious leaders' be fine with that because, after all,  the Indians are simply seeking justice for the land that was taken from them, including the holy site of Bear Butte in Sturgis??

 

What if every time Rapid City tried to build apartment buildings on 'occupied land' the entire world and the United Nations issued letters to Rapid City telling them they better not build one more house or apartment on this 'occupied land'?

 

Israel is a postage stamp of land in the Middle East.  The Arabs and Muslims currently have 1000 times more land than the Jews....but yet these Protestant Leaders want to pressure the Jews.

 

Again, it's about those blessings and curses.

Just Wave the Magic Wand

How will the USA and all the major nations of the world get rid of the $trillions of debt they have all racked up by borrowing from each other?

Simple...just wave the magic wand that the IMF has!

One could slash private debt by 100pc of GDP, boost growth, stabilize prices, and dethrone bankers all at the same time. It could be done cleanly and painlessly, by legislative command, far more quickly than anybody imagined.

The conjuring trick is to replace our system of private bank-created money -- roughly 97pc of the money supply -- with state-created money. We return to the historical norm, before Charles II placed control of the money supply in private hands with the English Free Coinage Act of 1666.

Specifically, it means an assault on "fractional reserve banking". If lenders are forced to put up 100pc reserve backing for deposits, they lose the exorbitant privilege of creating money out of thin air.

The nation regains sovereign control over the money supply. There are no more banks runs, and fewer boom-bust credit cycles. Accounting legerdemain will do the rest. That at least is the argument.

Some readers may already have seen the IMF study, by Jaromir Benes and Michael Kumhof, which came out in August and has begun to acquire a cult following around the world.

"If you enacted this plan, it would devastate bank profits and cause a massive deflationary disaster. There would have to do `QE squared' to offset it," he said.

The result would be a huge shift in bank balance sheets from private lending to government securities. This happened during World War Two, but that was the anomalous cost of defeating Fascism.

To do this on a permanent basis in peace-time would be to change in the nature of western capitalism. "People wouldn't be able to get money from banks. There would be huge damage to the efficiency of the economy," he said.

Here;  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/9623863/IMFs-epic-plan-to-conjure-away-debt-and-dethrone-bankers.html

I'm not even going to attempt to explain this using 'layman' terms, but suffice it to say that many of the financial elites around the world are realizing that their Ponzi Scheme of creating money out of thin air by loaning IOU's to each other...is coming to an end.

And it could be an ABRUPT end.

So naturally they are going to try and float some other scheme.

Of course we all must be aware that the world is moving to a single currency run by some type of Global Central Bank.  It simply has to. It will be claimed that this is just the 'natural order of things' that need to happen to run a global economy.

Of course those of us who read the Bible understand that we are running towards a ONE WORLD CURRENCY...and one day ANYONE LEFT ON PLANET EARTH will need to take some type of mark on his forehead or arm in order to access the system.

If you want to buy or sell anything....you will need, what the Bible calls, the MARK OF THE BEAST.

The intensely troubling side of this mark is that ANYONE who take it will forever lose their chance to see the Father.

Jesus...could you please come soon?  Amen.

Scientists Convicted for Not Predicting Quake

This one just in from the, "Are you serious?" file.

Italian court convicts 7 scientists for failing to predict earthquake

L'AQUILA, Italy – Defying assertions that earthquakes cannot be predicted, an Italian court convicted seven scientists and experts of manslaughter Monday for failing to adequately warn residents before a temblor struck central Italy in 2009 and killed more than 300 people.

The court in L'Aquila Monday evening handed down six-year-prison sentences to the defendants, members of a national "Great Risks Commission." In Italy, convictions aren't definitive until after an appeals trial, so it is unlikely any of the defendants would face jail immediately.

The trial -- described in 2011 by a USGS scientist as "a witch hunt" -- sent shock waves of its own through the international science community.

"It's a sad day for science," said seismologist Susan Hough, of the U.S. Geological Survey in Pasadena, Calif. `'It's unsettling."

Can you even imagine something like this happening in 'normal' times?  Of course not.

Sadly, headlines like this will most likely increase as the world falls further in Bizzaroland...where up is down and down is up.

The Armageddon Virus

Remember, Jesus said there will be pestilence in the last days....which means bugs and diseases.

We have seen AIDS, swine flu, Asian bird flu, etc...and those are most likely some foreshadowing for some really big disease that puts the world in lock down and bans international travel as science scrambles for a cure.

So headlines like this really shouldn't surprise us.

The Armageddon virus: Why experts fear a disease that leaps from animals to humans could devastate mankind in the next five years

The symptoms appear suddenly with a headache, high fever, joint pain, stomach pain and vomiting.
As the illness progresses, patients can develop large areas of bruising and uncontrolled bleeding. In at least 30  per cent of cases, Crimean-Congo Viral Hemorrhagic Fever is fatal.
And so it proved this month when a 38-year-old garage owner from Glasgow, who had been to his brother’s wedding in Afghanistan, became the UK’s first confirmed victim of the tick-borne viral illness when he died at the high-security infectious disease unit at London’s Royal Free Hospital.
It is a disease widespread in domestic and wild animals in Africa and Asia — and one that has jumped the species barrier to infect humans with deadly effect.
But the unnamed man’s death was not the only time recently a foreign virus had struck in this country for the first time.

In all these outbreaks, the virus responsible came from an animal. Analysts now believe that the Spanish flu pandemic originated from a wild aquatic bird.
The terrifying fact is that viruses that manage to jump to us from animals — called zoonoses — can wreak havoc because of their astonishing ability to catch us on the hop and spread rapidly through the population when we least expect it.

But the Professor is worried our politicians are not taking this certainty of mass death seriously enough.
Such laxity could come at a human cost so unprecedentedly high that it would amount to criminal negligence. The race against newly-emerging animal-derived diseases is one that we have to win every time. A pandemic virus needs to win only once and it could be the end of humankind.

Here;  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2217774/The-Armageddon-virus-Why-experts-fear-disease-leaps-animals-humans-devastate-mankind-years.html

What??  The end of humankind??

Well, we know that is NEVER going to happen.

"If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."  Jesus told us this in Matthew 24 and it clearly means that there will ALWAYS be some humans on earth until Christ returns to put an end to The Tribulation and usher in His Millennial kingdom.

But until that day, those of us who watch for Jesus also understand we will see signs of increasing pestilence.

Indian, Dead for 400 yrs Becomes a Saint

Friends, in case you hadn't noticed...we have entered 'Bizzaroland'.  It's a place where nothing surprises us anymore.  A place where wrong is right, right is wrong and people's feelings trump everything else including logic.  A place where good is called evil and evil is called good.

More evidence that we now live in Bizzaroland came out yesterday when the Pope granted sainthood to an American Indian woman who has been dead for over 400 years.

Yep!!  Now the Catholics can add one more saint to their list of hundreds to whom they can pray to.

Hundreds of faithful, representing all shades of the human rainbow, flocked together on Sunday in Bensalem to rejoice over the canonization of the first American Indian saint.

They celebrated Kateri Takakwitha, known as “Lily of the Mohawks,” with a Catholic Mass, American Indian song and dance and a procession around the St. Katharine Drexel Mission Center and National Shrine. The procession was led by volunteers who carried a 5-foot statue in St. Kateri’s likeness.

It’s very deserving,” author Lou Baldwin said as he and wife, Rita, joined in the celebration. Baldwin wrote “St. Katharine Drexel: Apostle to the Oppressed” and “A Call to Sanctity: The Formation and Life of Mother Katharine Drexel.”

“Saints are supposed to be examples for us,” Baldwin said. “(Kateri) is a very good example of what a Christian woman should be.”

Kateri was born in 1656 near Auriesville, N.Y. Her mother was of Christian Algonquin descent, and her father was a Mohawk chief. Her parents and brother died during a smallpox outbreak when Kateri was 4, church historians said. The disease also damaged Kateri’s eyesight and scarred her face.

Pope Benedict XVI agreed in late 2011 to elevate Kateri to sainthood after it was deemed medically inexplicable by the Vatican that a 5-year-old boy was able to survive a flesh-eating bacteria attack. The miracle occurred in 2006, church officials said, after Jake Finkbonner’s family and Lummi tribe members prayed to God through Kateri’s intercession.

It is that faith that brought people of all walks of life together on Sunday for at least one day, said the Rev. Bruce Lewandowski, the diocese’s vicar of cultural ministry.

“Let our prayer today be that we are united tomorrow as we are today,” Lewandowski said during the Mass celebrated in Kateri’s honor. “Let us live our lives by the example of the ‘Lily of the Mohawks.’”

So a little boy was dying of flesh eating bacteria and his family and an Indian tribe starting praying to the dead Indian woman.  When the little boy was healed, they reported it to the Catholic church and now EVERY CATHOLIC CAN PRAY TO THIS DEAD INDIAN!!!!

Do you see how messed up this is??  Do you see how unbiblical this is??  Can you see how Satanic this is?? 

Can you see how this is leading us closer to the ONE-WORLD-RELIGION that will come about in the Last Days??  How??  Because it will teach the world that you can pray to anything...everything is god and god is in everything...and god is whomever you believe is god...just so long as you are 'spiritual', that's the main thing. 

Notice this sentence from the article, "It is that faith that brought people of all walks of life together on Sunday for at least one day."  Notice this sentence as well;  "Hundreds of faithful, representing all shades of the human rainbow..."

"And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us."  Luke 16:28

Friends, you can't talk to your dead grandma, grandpa, mother, father or ANYONE WHO IS DEAD!!  You certainly can't pray to them to have them ask favors of Jesus on your behalf.

If you do pray to your dead grandma and a voice answers you....I would suggest you run very fast and repent of your sin of summoning Satanic spirits.

Not all healing is from Jesus and Satan is able to perform all types of lying wonders.  One day he will even be able to call down fire from heaven in the plain sight of men.
