These events will change our world!!

So I was watching CNN yesterday when I got home and I found it incredibly alarming that WWIII was plastered all over the broadcast on the Anderson Coooper 360 show graphics! You know, what really scares me is that even still, most Americans don't care....... This is serious people!

BACKGROUND:
A small group of Lebanese militants, the Hezbollah, kidnapped 2 Israeli soldiers in the hopes that they could use them to arrange an exchange with the Israeli government for at least some of the 2,000+ prisoners Israel has from Lebanon. Instead of entertaining exchange discussions, Israel retaliated with MASSIVE bombing over the entire southern region of Lebanon, where Hezbollah retains military control. Hezbollah, of course, then retaliated, sending bombs back to Israel, and the two have been embroiled in bitter war ever since. Israel is now amassing troops, tanks, etc. along their northern border and have, in small numbers, already begun small ground operations in Lebanon. The Lebanese government and it's military, though small, has promised that should Israel invade Lebanon, they will join with Hezbollah to protect their country.

Our government, via Tony Snow, the new media persona at the White House, said 2 days ago that "this isn't a war." Tell that to all of the Israeli and Lebanese refugees that have had to leave their homes for fear of their lives or those that have dies. Tell that to the Israeli newspapers, who, the day after the first bombings, declared war against Lebanon in it's newspaper headlines.

Now, what bothers me a bit about American coverage of these actions is the constant referrence to Hezbollah as a "terrorist organization" much the same as Al Queda, when in fact Hezbollah is nothing like Al Queda. They do not attack Israel due to just massively distorted fanatic religious beliefs. There are almost three decades of history between Israel and Hezbollah that most news agencies just seem to be glossing over.

This isn't the first time the two countries have been embroiled in war. Back in 1982, Israel invaded southern Lebanon. The Hezbollah was formed at that time to help combat the Israeli army, who despite continuously being labeled as the victim, has been actively trying to increase it's country's size and has been battling every neighbor around it since it's founding. So after Israel invaded Lebanon, Hezbollah was formed and it took them and the Lebanese military until 2000 to drive Israel out of it's country, and there have been constant actions from both sides since then. It's not like either side is completely innocent in this. Try warring with a country for 18 years and then expect everything to be nice and peaceful? Right..... Now Hezbollah is largely funded and armed by Syria and Iran, who of course, are on America's "axis of evil." But they are not an independent terrorist organization, they are a resistance army, and have been successful thus far in keeping Israel out of Lebanon up to this point. They are completely outmatched in manpower, equipment, and technology when up against Israel, but despite everything against them, their drive and determination, and knowledge of their own terrain, brought them success in defeating Israel and pushing them back out of their country. Israel invading Lebanon again is akin to the US re-invading Vietnam.

INTERESTING NOTE THEY WON'T TELL YOU ON THE NEWS:
The current state of Israel was founded in 1947. The ROTHSCHILDS, an international banking family, who claim to be jewish, funded it's founding and have funded most of the infrastructure to build Israel up to the advanced country it is today. Did you know that the US gives nearly $30 Billion to Israel every year? (just coincidentally about the same amount we cut from all non-military spending in our budget this year- benefits being taken from Americans) Do you know why the US states that Israel is our ally no matter what? Our government states that they are our ally simply because they are a democracy. Things are never what they seem, or what they tell you. The Rothschilds, who founded Israel and continue to back them, are also the LARGEST shareholders in the US's "un"Federal Reserve. Our Federal Reserve is a private entity that prints our money. Our government prepares a bond that they give to the Federal Reserve when they need money, promising to pay the money back, WITH INTEREST, back to the Federal Reserve. Every dollar you see is issued this way, under a debt-money system. Almost 20 percent of our federal budget annually pays the interest on our ever-growing national debt, over 8 trillion now.... That interest is paid to the Federal Reserve, who, in turn, distribute the profits to the shareholders of the Federal Reserve, 70 percent of which are foreign!

Did you think maybe our government backs Israel because over 80 percent of our nation is Christian, and the Bible says that we must support Israel? You would be wrong..... The Bible says that GOD will reinstate the nation of Israel when he returns to Earth. It does not state that Israel will be re-created when an international banker creates the state. Do you remember the ONLY time Jesus became violent in his life? This was when he overturned the tables in the marketplace in protest of the "moneylenders" or bankers because he did not agree with their debt-money system. He stated that money should never be given to your fellow man and expected to be repaid with interest. Thus, I have to dispute the Christian's claim (and I am a Christian, but perhaps I am the only one that has read my Bible?) that the current nation of Israel are the "chosen people." Yet, churches across America are preaching this to the sheep-herded masses. Every dollar bill we have, since 1957, has been printed with "In God We Trust" on it. However, since the formation of our Federal Reserve in 1913, every dollar printed has been a crime against God, because it is issued under a debt-money system.

This debt-money system perpetrated by our "un"Federal Reserve keeps America enslaved to the Rothschilds and other international bankers whims and demands. Major monetarists, including the current Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke, advocate that the Federal Reserve caused the last Great Depression of 1929 to happen, by decreasing the amount of money in circulation. Please understand that the Federal Reserve has the power to do this again at any time. They did it last time because the US did not want to enter into World War II. The Great Depression showed them that they did not have a choice in the matter. Money is power after all... and to control a nation's money is to control it's policies. Mayer Rothschild once said "If I control a nation's money, I care not who writes it's laws." Now the problem with much of the World today is that the Rothschilds and their cabal of international bankers now control the vast majority of ALL central banks in countries around the World.


Question: In 2001, which 8 countries did not have a Rothschild-controlled central bank?
Answer: Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Cuba, and North Korea.
Question: Who's left now?
Answer: Well, strike Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya off that list...they've either been conquered or bent over (Muammar), so now it's just Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Sudan.
Hmmmmmm...so that's what they mean by the "Axis of Evil."


You know what else I find amazing? The fact that Anderson Cooper has no problem going anywhere in Lebanon, even into Hezbollah territory to get a great story, and yet he has NEVER gone into Iraq (you know~ that silent war America is fighting every day)!

So why is the media and the likes of Newt Gingrich saying this is the beginning of World War III? Are they just conditioning us to what the international bankers have already determined is our future? The mainstream US media is owned by only 6 corporations, so most info fed through them is filtered by the higher ups. But let me lay out a likely scenario for you, so we can understand how truly close to World War III we may be....

here is a map of the region

Now right now the conflicts in the region are as follows:
Israel/Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon
Israel/Palestine in the Gaza Strip
US in Iraq

Should Israel decide to invade Lebanon, the small Lebanese military will join Hezbollah in the fighting to protect their southern border. Should Israel accidentally or otherwise drop a single bomb on Syria, Lebanon's neighbor, Syria will become involved, and Iran has promised that if Syria is attacked by Israel, they will get involved. Should Syria and/or Iran enter the conflict, Israel, with a history of being unsuccessful in that region, will request the US's assistance and we will come running to their side. Should we enter the conflict, one can almost guarantee Iran will take this as a supreme threat over the entire region, and will bomb the oil fields of Iraq, Kuwait, Suadi Arabia, and will also possibly bomb our places in Afghanistan. Iran has long-reaching missiles and a battle-hardened LARGE standing military. Should they bomb the oil fields now protected by the US, we will likely see the rise of oil prices to some ungodly sum, like $1,000/barrel!!! Our economy is completely fragile right now and I do believe this would send us spiraling down into a fullscale crash, which would mean hard times for the US. It would mean, however, just as with the depression, higher enlistments in the US military....

This will mean the entire Middle Eastern region would be in all out full-scale conflict. This would mean Lebanon, Hezbollah, Iraqi insurgents, Al Queda, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Palestinians from Jordan, Pakistani radicals, all joining forces against the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia in the region. My guess is that Europe will largely sit on the sidelines, while Britain will lend small forces to the US's aid. The big question is how Russia and China will enter into said conflict. Both countries have large interests in the area and how they play may well determine how the US comes out in the end.

What worries me so much is that should the US become embroiled in this WWIII, besides the prospect of another depression, we definetly will not have seen the end of terrorist attacks in America. The radicals in the Middle Eastern region already hate us...and this would provide massive fuel to their already raging fires of contempt. Should the fall of our economy result in US riots, or in the event of another major terrorist attack, there are Executive Orders issued by the President in place that would allow him to take over ALL of the infrastructure of the United States, creating a police state where we are essentially in a fascist dictatorship, completing the trend we have been following for the last half a century. This would mean the complete end of FREEDOM in America......

And what is so scary is that all of this could happen and escalate so quickly, that this could all happen in a month or two month's time.......yet most of America is obliviously sitting on the sidelines with no idea nor any desire to know what is happening. The US conditioning system has worked so well......

Like a flock of sheep being led to the slaughter....

WAKE UP AMERICA! This is serious. This demands your attention and action.
Some beautiful quotes:


I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
~Helen Keller

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
~Matthew 5:3

Do you want long life and happiness? Strive for peace with all your heart.
~Psalm 34:12,14

I don't do great things. I do small things with great love.
~Mother Teresa

The soul of our country needs to be awakened . . .When leaders act contrary to conscience, we must act contrary to leaders.
~Veterans Fast For Life

In 1989, thirteen nations comprising 1,695,000 people experienced nonviolent revolutions that succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations . . . If we add all the countries touched by major nonviolent actions in our century (the Philippines, South Africa . . . the independence movement in India . . .) the figure reaches 3,337,400,000, a staggering 65% of humanity! All this in the teeth of the assertion, endlessly repeated, that nonviolence doesn't work in the 'real' world.
~Walter Wink

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world: Indeed it's the only thing that ever has.
~Margaret Mead

Lets see what or where the Mosul pipeline ends up. If it ends up in Haifa, we will know whats been happening all this time. I think things are beginning to surface especially now with Ms Rice's speech to Olmert about the "New Middle East".
Time will tell.

I want to add to this especially since I am a Christian but not in the organised sense. I do not support the political zionists.

Christian Zionists:

What is the message of the Christian Zionist? Simply stated it is this: Every act taken by Israel is orchestrated by God, and should be condoned, supported, and even praised by the rest of us.

"Never mind what Israel does," say the Christian Zionists. "God wants this to happen." This includes the invasion of Lebanon, which killed or injured an estimated 100,000 Lebanese and Palestinians, most of them civilians; the bombing of sovereign nations such as Iraq; the deliberate, methodical brutalizing of the Palestinians—breaking bones, shooting children, and demolishing homes; and the expulsion of Palestinian Christians and Muslims from a land they have occupied for over 2,000 years.

The Christian groups who support Israel are typically known as Christian Zionists...

Awaken... I find it interesting that you joined this forum the same day you posted your Magnum Opus. May I ask what brought you to ATS? Your posts are exceptionally well done and well written. It is certainly clear that we are once again on a pivot point in history and I certainly hope the picture you paint does not materialize. But we are, unquestionably, in serious peril. Just one small push...

I have actually been scanning over the many posts that people have been posting over the past year or so on ATS. I never once thought of registering an account, here at ATS. Except this one time because I feel so strongly about this war. People need to wake up and do something about this. There is a reason why we went into iraq. There is a reason why we cut off Iran from Israel at this moment. Its all comming into play. I just hope no more of my brothers and sisters suffer any more.

I do appreciate your kind comments. If we do not agree with this war. It is our responsibility as a citizen to say something. I figured i might as well say something here at ATS because, some of the people that post here, thier intellegence is unbelieveable. I figured there is alot of people here at ATS and if i could reach one person then i will feel good about it.

Awaken your minds.

It's not ww3, this confict had happened before. Palestine did the same thing launching rockets against israel some years ago. Until some peace force stop arab countries of sponsoring this groups that attack israel, this will go on for years. When this one is over, the next decade there will be another one. It seems like this confilct is good for the U.S. because all eyes have turned to israel and lebanon. No more daily news about iraq.

I'm just waiting for the destruction of damascus. That should herald the end times. Then it's just rootin' around for potatoes time...and watching not to get your head eaten...

AwakenedMind, who are you? Who wrote what you posted?

Are you the same person who wrote this exact piece in their blog?

Jesus did become mad at the collection agents, but they were not in a marketplace, they were in a church. Nowhere do i recall seeing Jesus saying anything about recollecting interest being bad. I have also read the Bible many a time so stop thinking you're better then everyone else for doing something you're supposed to do ANYWAY. Israel goes wayyyyyyyyyyyy back and it IS Gods chosen land for His chosen ppl, the Jews. your interpretation is flawed and therefore most would conclude if you cannot get the for certain facts about Jesus right, the other info you posted is also in probability quite wrong as well. Basically this entire piece is just yet another bogus attempt to make the Jews and Christians look bad on this forum.

Snazuolu are you Jewish? If not why do you continue with your Jewish supremacy? Jewish supremacy is just as racist and bigotted as anti-semitism. Saying Jews are God's chosen people is just as insulting to humanity as saying Jews are the root of all evil.

If you are not Jewish what makes you think God has any place if heaven for you? If Jews are his chosen people then wouldnt following Christ be herecy? What makes you think he condones your faith if Jews are his chosen people? How do you reconsile your views and values? Why dont you convert to Judaism if you're so certain God's chosen people are Jewish.

Quotes by Albert Pike In 1871

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." 4

Since the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, world events, and in particular in the Middle East, show a growing unrest and instability between Modern Zionism and the Arabic World. This is completely in line with the call for a Third World War to be fought between the two, and their allies on both sides. This Third World War is still to come, and recent events show us that it is not far off.

I am christian in my faith and i believe that Jews are the chosen ppl of God. I also believe what the Bible says about christians and their relationship with the Jews. Why are you so upset about the Jews being Gods chosen ppl?? It says it in teh Bible.. regardless of what you think... God is all that matters. The Bible is His word and what it says about this subject is NOT open to debate. We are all Gods children, and one of His commandments is to honor thy father and mother. Well by you choosing not to honor His word you are not honoring Him therefore you are breaking 1 of his commandments. I was just watching a Billy Graham classic tv spot and it was very interesting what he said though years ago about ppl and their wickedness. I thought to myself yep, billy was trying to convey the message that jsut because you dont' like what God says for you to do, means that christianity is false or make up some other fairy tale about how there were others before God and blah blah blah.

Agreed. If we went around yelling "World War" every time those Middle Eastern countries started beating up on each other, we'd be up to around "WWLXVII" by now. Sure, it's serious, but when isn't it serious? The only difference is that now thanks to CNN, Fox News and MSNBC we get to hear about every stray chicken and goat that gets blown up in the process, so it seems like a much bigger deal than it was in the past.

Otherwise, I'm not concerned until we have to send in real troops to fight with Israel against the Russians and the Chinese. And that doesn't look like it's gonna happen anytime soon, if at all.

Why would you think that Jewish people have a God given right to enter heaven??
It is only your own personal interpretation that suggests so..

1)My recollection is that God chose Israelis as his chosen flock and delivered them from slavery from the Egyptions and when Moses went to Mount Olive...(No Popeye jokes please) The Jewish flock turned their back on him and moulded golden Idols which they worshipped as false Gods

2)Even Pontious Pilate beseached the Jewish nation to choose Jesus to be the captive released as he saw no wrongdoing on his part.But simply because Jesus gave his teachings freely,as opposed to the Jewish Rabbis who collected funds for their ''wisdom'' and was seen as a threat to the church,s monopoly.They released a thief instead.Thus condemning a guy to death who proposed nothing but a message of ''love thy brother''.

So I wouldn,t get all high and mighty if I were you..

You don,t know what the big guy has in store for you for renouncing his only worldly son.

What happend to Thou Shalt Not Kill? You forget that one when it suits you?

Personally I think the Bible is full of bullcrap meant for the feeble minded. Its a control mechanism designed specifically to exploit the gulibilty of mankind. You've fallen for it hook, line and sinker and allow it control your life. The church wants your money and your obedience. Think for yourself for godsake.
