The Pathway to a One World Order
The athletes of 202 nations of the world roared in celebration as the 102 foot Olympic Bullet Torch rose into the air and opened the 2004 Athens XXXVIII Olympiad in the birthplace of democracy and the Olympic Games. How fitting for an era in which the United States, the apocalyptic heir of the Grecian Empire and her principles of democracy, looms over the world as an emerging beast that once had lamb like features and is now beginning to speak like a dragon. (Revelations 13:11) As the Olympics returned for the first time in 108 years to the city of Athens, the symbols of this joyous celebration of universal peace and harmony was shadowed by a surveillance blimp overhead and $1.5 billion in security systems to protect the public and the athletes from looming fears of the fundamentalist Islamic terrorists.
In fact the entire world is now settling into an uneasy state of apocalyptic fear. We perceive that our immediate world is peaceful but the existential fear envelopes all of our psychics. This reminds me of a prophetic passage written by the yeshiva student of the Jerusalem School of Gamaliel, Rabbi Shaul (Apostle Paul) who wrote:
1 Thessalonians 5:3 – “For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction come upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.”
He goes on to explain that we are all “sons of light and sons of the day” which suggest that we should be watchful, awake and aware, yet most of all that we have been given the ‘light of prophecy’ to guide us and give us hope of our salvation through Yahshua ha Christos (Jesus the Christ). The key words here mean “Peace with great security”. Wow, revelation does come in little packages, but what a beautiful description of what the world we live today is becoming. We do not have peace because the inhabitants of the world are peaceful beings, but because the security armaments that we surround ourselves will become so formidable that we will eventually be led to believe that we have now conquered terrorism, the rogue terrorist states have now been snared with the leash of internationalism and all are now walking in unison with the march of the Great World Order.
There will be one holdout, the Nation of Israel. This is not the Israel that we know today. The current government of the Nation of Israel marches to the tune of George Bush, president of the United States, who in turn marches to the tune of his familial and political ties to the Council on Foreign Relations, the architect of the emerging globalism.
The Nation of Israel that will be a holdout at the final days of the time of the end will be a fundamentalist theocratic state of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This theocratic state will not be a state of terror of jihads, fatwas and intifadas but a state that uses the security armor of spiritual warfare such as the “breastplate of faith and love” and the “helmet of hope of salvation”. (1 Thessalonians 5:8) Someday in the future, the citizens of the current secular State of Israel will as a nation anticipate the return of its Moschiach (Messiah). Would it not be reasonable also to assume that it prime minister will be an authentic covenant keeping Jew?
The dilemma of the Jewish people today is that they are trapped in the same mindset as all the nations of the world. “Peace with great security” is the specialty of the Jewish people. They have never known a life of peace in which they could completely let down their guard and not worry about whether their personal or national existence was about to be obliterated.
Today, the Nation of Israel is renowned as one of the greatest fighting forces in the world. Even the pilots of the American air force would think twice before casually taking on an Israeli pilot in a dogfight. Is it any wonder the nations of the world are not looking to the United States to take down Iran if they continue to proceed with the development of a nuclear bomb?
The masters of control are the globalists who seek to eventually dominate the entire world. In the western world the global agenda are the specialty of the Bilderbergers who set the global agenda and the G-8 who are set to implement global goals of the Bilderbergers. The Council on Foreign Relations appears to set themselves above these two groups. Are they the masters of deceit and delusion?
As transparency is becoming more and more pronounced, foggy images are becoming clearer. One thing appears to be certain to most investigators in these subterranean power brokers of the political and economic world order. It does not matter whether the citizens of America vote for George Bush or John Kerry, the final affect on the foreign policy of America and America’s role with Israel will be the same. Both are members of the Council on Foreign Relations and both are current members of Harvard’s society of Skull and Bones.
The social agenda of America from 2004 to 2008 will be different depending on who is elected but the results will also be the same. If George Bush is elected, a more and more strident social and conservative right will push through oppressive and coercive laws and isolate the political left. If John Kerry is elected, a very vocal and strident socially liberal agenda will be presented for legislation and the political right will be disaffected. Either way, the social matrix of America, the melting pot of the world, will become a boiling pot of hatred and venom.
Whoever received the nod by the members of the CFR have the privilege to enter the political gladiator arena of America’s presidential race. It’s all about money and the big controlling interests are the brokers of power, greed and control. This is what makes the article by the World Tribune interesting in that the concerns of the CFR to George Bush could make or break his bid for the second term as president.
There has been strong political observation that George Bush Sr. at the height of popularity after the Gulf War suddenly lost his lust for the second term and mantle of the presidency was taken away from him. Why? Did he cross the agenda of the New World Order that his grandfather was a founding member? Will this same fate happen to his son, George W. Bush?
Don’t consider that the CFR, the Bilderbergers and the G-8 have a total hegemony on the globalist desire for domination. The article in the August, 2004 Reflection, The Kerry Equation is only the tip of the iceberg in the historical study of the global power. The merging of the Illuminati, the Frankists with the money of the Rothschilds makes for interesting reading about seriously dangerous bedfellows. At the same time, the fundamentalist Islamic surge for global domination along with China in the east and the ascendant power of Vladimir Putin in Russia enhances one major fact, the nations of the world are becoming restless and all are seeking their stakes in the piece of pie of global power.
There is one prophetic theme that we must always keep into account at the time of the end. The geopolitics of the world will spiral closer and closer to Jerusalem like a pack of wolves for the kill. Let us briefly look at this theme in the apocalyptic Books of Zechariah and Revelation in both the Old and the New Testaments.
Zechariah 12:2 – “I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples.”
Zechariah 12:3 – “I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.
Zechariah 14:2 – “I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem.”
Revelation 16:13 – “And I saw three unclean spirits…they are spirits of demons performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty…and they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
Within a little over a year, the United States took a coalition of forces from 91 nations of the world and toppled the Nation of Iraq. It was the first nation of the triad George Bush called the “Axis of Evil”; Iraq, Iran and North Korea. What Bush did succeed in doing was to open a hornet’s nest that has dug the United States in the worst military morass since Viet Nam.
Using the political good will that surrounded the funeral of Ronald Reagan during the Bilderbergers meeting in Stresa, the Normandy 60th year anniversary that welcomed the ‘American heroes’ and the G-8 meeting in Georgia, the United Nations is now returning to Iraq and NATO is now arming and training the new Iraqi army. The Normandy fest in which Schroeder from Germany and Putin from Russia were invited for the first time in 60 years laid the groundwork for another political bridge that is now being repaired. Here, Germany chancellor Schroeder apologized to the citizens of Poland for the Nazi atrocities and suffering committed to their country during World War II.
We’re now seeing the
global breaches being repaired. What is the next step in the march towards
a global economic and political community?
Olympics Return Home with Spectacular Show – August 14, 2004
ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- With a roaring flame that soared into the sky Saturday, thousands of athletes celebrated the Olympics' return to their ancient homeland in a joyful ceremony set among the fears of the modern world. A sea of athletes under 202 flags parted to let a Greek windsurfing champion jog across the stadium and climb to the Olympic cauldron, which dipped on its slender 102-foot arm to receive the spark from his torch. "Olympic Games, welcome home!" cried Jacques Rogge, head of the International Olympic Committee. The thousands of athletes ringing him watched as their national flags were carried away, replaced by an Olympic banner that rose opposite the cauldron. "Athletes of 202 countries show us that sport unites by overriding national, political, religious and language barriers," Rogge said.
Olympic Station in Athens, Greece at the XXXVIII Olympiad Games 2004
But the surveillance blimps overhead, part of a $1.5 billion security operation, highlighted fears that the first Summer Olympics since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks could fall victim to just such divisions. The ceremony closed an important circle in sports, with the modern Olympics returning to the city where they were born in an all-marble arena in 1896. "For the second time in 108 years, Greece stands before you as host country of the greatest celebration of humanity," said the games' chief organizer, Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki. "We have waited long for this moment." The ceremony began with the Olympic rings bursting into flame from the waters of the flooded stadium infield. What followed was a pageant celebrating Greek history, culture and civilization.
A boy sailed across the water, and a centaur - the mythological half-man, half-horse - waded through it to toss a spear of light. The ancient god of love, Eros, flew above two lovers dancing in the sea, and then hovered over a procession of figures from Greek history. (Article)
CFR to Bush: Stop Israeli strike on Iran's nuke sites – July 30, 2004
World Tribune - A report by the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations urged the Bush administration to stop any Israeli attempt to strike Iran's nuclear facilities. The council warned that such an Israeli attack would be blamed on the United States and hurt its interests in the region. "Since Washington would be blamed for any unilateral Israeli military strike, the United States should, in any case, make it quite clear to Israel that U.S. interests would be adversely affected by such a move," the report, entitled "Iran: Time for a New Approach," said.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said the United States supports Israel's right to what he termed weapons of deterrence, regarded as a reference to nuclear weapons, Middle East Newsline reported. He said the United States was also pressing Iran to halt its nuclear weapons program. "Israel faces an existential threat, and it must be able to defend itself by itself by preserving its deterrent capability," Sharon said. "We have received here a clear American position that says in other words that Israel must not be touched when it comes to its deterrent capability." An air strike on Iran's nuclear facilities would incur civilian casualties, the report said. It pointed out that many of Iran's nuclear facilities have been located in or near urban centers.

High noon in the Gulf -
Will Israel soon attack Iran's nuclear facility? – July 28, 2004
WorldNetDaily.com -
With the Sept. 11 commission report
pointing fingers of responsibility at Iran and Tehran inching closer to the
development of a nuclear arms program, is it only a matter of time before Israel strikes the country's nuclear facilities as it did in Iraq in 1981? Israeli planners tell Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin a strike at
Iran's nuclear plant would hardly resemble the attack on Iraq's Ossirak plant 23 years ago.
For one thing, the element of surprise is all but gone. The Ossirak destruction happened under relatively quiet conditions in the region and was a classic first-time unpredictable attack. The Iranian setting is completely different. It is important to understand, and be aware of the fact Iranian military planners are active in assessing the risk factor for their nuclear complexes, and they are taking all necessary and possible counter measures available to them. From a pure military position the destruction of the Busher complex, say the sources, does not require an exceptionally sophisticated maneuver. There is no need for a cloak and dagger operation to discover the sites which are well observed through a series of satellites. A regular iron bomb could flatten the dome or destroy other nearby facilities, not to mention the use of smart bombs, which in theory cannot miss. The risk level would be for the crews burdened with executing such an air raid.
Israeli experts stress there are less than three years before the site goes warm. In planning the Ossirak operation the Israeli air force carefully considered the stage of the nuclear reactor. It was of paramount importance to destroy a cold reactor, knowing the destruction of a warm one could lead to a new Chernobyl-like ecological disaster.

US led force to guard UN in Iraq – August 4, 2004
British Broadcasting Co. - UN staff returning to Iraq will have to rely on the US-led multinational force for protection, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan says.
The UN pulled out its
entire staff in October after two suicide bomb attacks on its Baghdad
headquarters. Mr. Annan said the UN had not received any firm offers from
countries for the separate dedicated protection force it had hoped to have in
place in Iraq. A small UN team is due to return to Iraq later this month. Mr.
Annan told UN Security Council ambassadors on Wednesday that at least 5,000
troops would be needed to protect the much larger UN contingent needed to
assist with elections and reconstruction projects.
The small UN team led by veteran Pakistani diplomat Ashraf Jehangir Qazi is expected to go to Baghdad shortly to take part in a national political conference. "We are forced to rely on the multinational force to give us protection," Mr. Annan said. "We haven't had much success attracting governments to sign up for the dedicated force."
Danish Troops part of the 32 nation coalition
No deals with kidnappers
Meanwhile, the US said all 32 countries in the multinational force in Iraq had agreed not to make concessions to hostage-takers. "We are united in our resolve to make no concessions to terrorists," the State Department announced. This is a clear message to militants that seizing foreigners to put pressure on governments to withdraw their troops will not work, correspondents say. Six Jordanian and Turkish hostages were released earlier on Wednesday. About 20 other foreign nationals are still being held captive in Iraq. (Read rest of article on kidnappings in Iraq)
Coalition troops in Iraq – July 20, 2004
British Broadcast Corp -
More than 30 countries have contributed troops to the multinational forces in Iraq.
The US is overwhelmingly the biggest foreign contributor, followed by the UK, Italy and Poland.
Numbers fluctuate as troops are rotated in and out of the country. On 19 July 2004 there were about 133,000 foreign troops in Iraq, of whom about 112,000 were American. Any major engagement with insurgents is run by US forces, except in the south-east, where British forces take the lead.
Baghdad Area of Operations:
About 30,000 foreign soldiers, most from the US 1st Cavalry Division. There are
32 Estonians in the Abu Ghraib district of the city. Iraqi troops began patrols
in Baghdad on 28 June, in co-ordination with the multinational forces. Baghdad is also the location of the multinational force headquarters.
Multinational Brigade North (also known as Task Force Olympia):
About 20,000 soldiers, of whom 11,500 are Iraqi security forces (National Guard,
border patrol and army). The remaining 8,500 are nearly all American (mostly Third
Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division). There is also an Albanian commando company. In
August 2004, South Korea is due to start deploying 3,000 new troops in Irbil. Most of the 700 South Koreans already in the country have been based in the
south-east, but about half are now, reportedly, being redeployed to Irbil.
(Sources: Multinational Brigade North; Globalsecurity.org)
North-Central Area of Operations:
The US 1st Infantry is augmented by contingents from:
Georgia (150), Latvia (about 40), Moldova (30), Macedonia (30)
Western Area of Operations:
The US 1st Marine Division is augmented by contingents from:
Azerbaijan (150), Tonga (45)
Multinational Division Centre-South:
Poland (2,350), Ukraine (1,550), Thailand (450), Bulgaria (420), Hungary (290), Romania (200), Mongolia (140, Latvia (110), Slovakia (110), Lithuania (50)
(Source: Multinational Division Centre-South website, figures dated 16 June 200, when the Philippines still had 90 troops in the division. They were withdrawn ahead of schedule on 19 July 2004.)
Multinational Division South-East:
UK (8,300, mainly 1st Mechanized Brigade), Italy (2,800), The Netherlands
(1,300), Japan (500), Romania (500), Denmark (400), Norway (130, in the process
of leaving)
Portugal (124), Czech Republic (90), Lithuania (60), New Zealand (60) (Source:
MND SE spokesman, 7 July 2004)
Others:
The numbers above usually do not include troops involved in logistical support,
for example South Korean engineers and medics, or Estonian cargo handlers.
Australia has 850 troops in and around Iraq, mainly carrying out specialist functions such as air traffic control, air transport, aerial maritime patrols and maritime interception. Singapore has also supplied a transport aircraft, a tank-carrying landing ship and police for training purposes - in total some 200 troops and police.
Some countries have significant numbers of soldiers at headquarters in Baghdad, and on warships or in air bases near Iraq. About 1,150 UK servicemen and women fall into this category. Spain withdrew its 1,300 troops in April. Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Norway and Kazakhstan have either withdrawn their forces, or are in the process of doing so. (Read Complete Article)
Schröder
apologises to Poles for 'immeasurable' wartime suffering – August 2, 2004
Berlin (The
Guardian) - The German chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, acknowledged the
"immeasurable suffering" inflicted by Nazi troops on Poland at a
ceremony yesterday to mark the 60th anniversary of the failed Warsaw uprising,
which ended in the slaughter of more than 200,000 civilians…Mr. Schröder,
the first German chancellor to be invited to the ceremony, was hoping to clear
the "bad atmosphere" that has soured relations between the two
neighbours.
In a powerful gesture, he bowed on the steps of the memorial to the uprising, which bears the names of the dead, as a trumpeter played. Relations between Warsaw and Berlin have improved enormously since the break up of the communist bloc in 1989, but claims on property by the descendants of Germans who were expelled from Poland after the war remain a running sore. Mr. Schröder's comments came at the climax of a three-day-long commemoration of the 40,000 partisans of the Polish Home Army which rose up against the Nazi occupying troops in the closing stages of the war. The Poles were expecting help from the rapidly advancing Russian army, which had reached the east banks of the Vistula river, but Stalin held his troops back…
The Polish
forces in Britain wanted to fly to Warsaw to support their comrades, but
Winston Churchill ruled out a rescue operation. Although the partisans were
outnumbered by nearly two to one, they managed to hold out for 63 days, before
being crushed by the Waffen-SS. Hitler ordered the destruction of the city,
street by street, and the execution or deportation of its population. About
200,000 civilians died in the fighting, 165,000 were sent to labour camps, and
a further 350,000 were displaced. (Read
