THE JESUS CHALLENGE ZEW‟S NEWS REVIEW

DECEMBER 7, 2008 ISSUE # 217

ON THE HORIZON – PART II So as we saw in the first installment, the crisis that we’re facing today is widespread and only threatens to get bigger. Its outcome may be a seismic shift in the global order. We live in historic times! AN END TO FREE MARKET CAPITALISM ? Everyday the headlines get stranger. To the politically astute observer, the one on CNBC on November 24th, screamed out. “All US Financials Will be Nationalized in a Year”!! Yes it was just the opinion of one Hugh Hendry, the manger of the Eclectica Asset Fund, - yet it spoke volumes.1 That has been the trend of the hour. Governments around the world, - including our own, - are gathering control of the economy, under the guise of fixing the system. In the process they are creating a new system, - a blend of capitalism and socialism, - that will rule the foreseeable future. What governments around the world are reacting to is sheer panic. In the US the mortgage industry for instance is hemorrhaging. Defaults, even among prime borrowers stand at almost 3.1%. That‟s over a full percentage point bigger than the previous record of 1.97% set in 1985. In California that number stands at well over 4%. And these huge figures are among what are considered the safest of borrowers.2 While the US deficit is ballooning out of control, Britain is following suit. London finds itself facing a 118 billion pound shortfall. That‟s about 8% of the total GDP. Those are huge numbers that are starting to drive away investors willing to pony up cash to finance the UK‟s debt.3 Now investors are increasingly betting with their checkbooks that Britain may indeed default on its debts within the next five years. And that alone is driving up the cost of getting the money to keep the government running.4 The panic in the UK is what motivated that government to begin the nationalization of key components of the British banking system. Crisis creates opportunity and this crisis is indeed creating opportunities for governments to position themselves to benefit the internationalist banking establishment. One key element of the emerging New World Order is the takeover and managing of the economy by the centralized government power. Take Citigroup for instance. Just a few years ago, the bank was America‟s largest. Citibank was thought to be strong, a survivor, and was even designated to take over the failing Wachovia, when the value of their shares plunged to less than $4. The decision to buy up the banking giant took only hours. The value of the entire company dropped from $247 billion to $21 billion. Thus the government felt compelled to spend billions, adding another asset to the taxpayer‟s ledger. Now the ultimate irony in all of this is that the government has been forced to severely overpay for the financial interests it is buying. Without doing so, many of the institutions in question would collapse. Market analysis reveals for instance that the Treasury overpaid by $62 billion for the assets of Goldman Sachs. Here‟s how F William Engdahl of Oil Geo-Politics assesses the situation. “The dilemma Paulson has created with his inept handling of the crisis is simple: If the US Government paid the true value for these nearly worthless assets, the banks would have to write down huge losses, and, as Levy economists put it, 'announce to the world that they are insolvent.' On the other hand, if Paulson raised the toxic waste purchase price high enough to protect the banks from losses, $700 billion 'will buy only a tiny fraction of the 'troubled' assets.' That is what the latest nationalization of Citigroup is about.”

And the problem is that the problem is growing. No matter how much money is thrown at it, it will not go away. Credit is still tight, - constricting the economy, - and many more financial institutions are in serious trouble that was previously believed. Crisis is NOT too „alarmist‟ a word to use. The Levy Economics Institute weighs in with this sobering opinion, “…perhaps most financial institutions are insolvent today”. They go on to make the point that the original $700 billion bail out package Congress approved last month would not even dent the debt problem we‟re facing.5 Martin Weiss, the founder-owner of a firm that rates the safety of financial institutions, describes all of the largest banks as “endangered” and warns that there is nobody big enough on the block to protect them. He believes that the Citibank affair will send shock waves across the industry, undermining confidence so much that it will be “difficult for the global banking system to survive”. Weiss concludes that a “banking shutdown” is “possible”. 6 How bad it can get is only speculation, yet F William Engdahl believes that the September crash has already signaled the collapse of the “post-war old order”. He adds his voice to the chorus that see dire times ahead in 2009 that include “shocks and changes to the global order of a scale perhaps not experienced in the past five centuries. This is why we should speak of the end of the American century and its dollar system”.7 The Purpose of Crises This is indeed a crisis and crises have consequences. One sure fact is that they create opportunities. Whether manufactured or naturally occurring they serve as a catalyst for change. The words of Obama‟s future Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, perhaps then capture the spirit, if not the specifics of the point. He told the Wall Street Journal, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste…This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before”. Now in fairness Emmanuel described those opportunities as presenting themselves in energy, health, tax policy etc.8 But we cannot give the incoming administration a pass on the benignity of their program. The President Elect has openly sought a more internationalist approach and his share-the-wealth views were openly proclaimed on the campaign trail. And then there is this from his VP Joe Biden. While allied with the Clinton Administration, he outlined two goals for that administration to pursue: Turning NATO into a “military instrument” of the UN and “the creation of a new world order”.9 We must never forget the purposes to which the controlling ‘Powers That Be’ have dedicated themselves. The forces that really run this world are intent on creating a new order of the ages. Yes, even many of our own leaders are dedicated to this goal. As Henry Kissinger himself once candidly stated, “It cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change its perceptions.”10 More alarming perhaps than the words of Republican Kissinger are those of Democrat Zbigniew Brzezinski: - a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), co-founder of the Trilateral Commission and a National Security Advisor to five American presidents. Mr Brzezinski was the chief foreign policy advisor to President Carter and remains possibly the key advisor to the Obama team. Here‟s what he had to say at Mikhail Gorbachev‟s State of the World Forum in 1995. “We cannot leap into world government through one quick step…The precondition for genuine globalization is progressive regionalization”.11 He went on to describe his goal as “a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values”.12 Did you catch the import of what he was saying? The goal, - that he and others among the world‟s movers and shakers have, - is WORLD GOVERNMENT.

Today, the international architecture for just such a system is being created before our eyes. The global banking crisis is certainly part of it. If we are careful to look, we can become witnesses of the transfer of overt control from the institutions of national government to the behind the scenes globalist One World movers and shakers. As President Carter‟s man Brzezinski stated in his seminal 1970 work,; Between Two Ages, “the nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty”. Odd for an American diplomat, one should think, in that his words echoed those of Lenin and Stalin who called for making national loyalties subservient to regional ones in the inevitable drive toward world government. So it all goes, - just as the Scriptures say!13 Watch closely and we can see the outlines of world government already in place in the likes of the EU and the looming North American Union, the already forming South American Union etc. New Age guru and House of Philosophy head, Alice Bailey, wrote in her 1957 tome, The Externalization of the Hierarchy, that on the way to world government, the globe would first be organized into several Spheres of Influence. It was in 1974 that Mesrovic & Pestel gave details of the plan, revealing in their work, Mankind At The Turning Point, that the world was to be divided into 10 „Super Nation States‟. Both the European Union and a united North America were a part of that plan.14 Here‟s the way the Bible puts it: “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.” (Revelation 17:12-13) It is interesting then that the Obama Administration is taking on so many of the players and goals of the last Democrat President to hold power, Bill Clinton. (Though in point of fact there has been little difference as the internationalist agenda has advanced regardless of party.) The ties that bind are the behind the scenes globalist organizations that promote the one world agenda such as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Bilderbergs, Skull and Bones Society, Trilateral Commission and the like. The incoming president‟s chief financial advisor during his campaign was Austan Goosby, a Bonesman. We‟ve seen Brzezinski‟s pedigree. Robert Rubin is an “informal advisor” that is a Bilderberger and served as chairman of Citigroup. (Quite the coincidence!)15 The New head of the New York branch of the Federal Reserve will be Tim Geitner, of the CFR. He helped put together the economic bailout plan that is consolidating government control of the economy. Another CFR member, former Treasury Secretary Summers will also be heavily involved in formulating Obama Administration economic policy. 16 17 Former Clintonite, Richard Gardiner revealed the zeitgeist behind their internationalist thinking years before, writing in 1974 about making “an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece”.18 What the current world economic situation provides then is the opportunity for massive progress on this front in the very near future. It is hard to know just what the American public will agree to in the name of “peace and safety”. Whatever policies we may see here at the end of the Bush era and the beginning of the Obama presidency is all part of a plan of greater scope. It is the whole world they seek. The goal of the Illumined Elites is the total integration of all the peoples of the world into one great global system. All the way back in 1959, a report financed by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, - The Mid-Century Challenge to US Foreign Policy, laid out their goals for all who would see. “We cannot escape, and indeed should welcome, the task of helping to shape a new world order in all its dimensions – spiritual, economic, political, social”.19 That is the same Satanic vision that Scripture tells us will drive the Antichrist during the short reign of his kingdom at the End of Days. It is unfolding before our eyes.

AND ON THE ISRAELI FRONT… The question of the hour is a simple one. Did Washington wink a „green light‟ to Israel for an attack on Iran‟s nuclear facilities. TIME Magazine had earlier reported that the Bush Administration had, in the words of one Israeli Defense official, - “warned off”, the notion of an IAF strike before the inauguration on January 20th. President elect Obama has explicitly stated that he favors personal negotiation to solve the Iranian nuclear issue. However the pressure is building. Iran already has enough uranium to start producing its first home grown nuke. Now they‟ve tested a new and more modern missile. And they‟ve not backed off their open opposition of the Jewish state. Really driving all of this is the leak of the findings of an intelligence assessment by the Israeli National Security Council. The report revealed that Israel‟s military chiefs, - in the words of Press TV, - “advocated a timely military strike on Iran before a „limited‟ window of opportunity is missed”. According to the assessment, the Israeli government must be willing to strike even if it resulted in a major confrontation with the government in Washington. Now however new reports indicate that that might not be the case. Israel‟s outgoing Prime Minister Olmert told reporters that “There is a basic, deep understanding about the Iranian threat”, between the US and Israeli governments. After meetings with VP Cheney, Secretary Rice and President Bush, - Olmert indicated that Israel believed it had American support to “take any action that we will deem necessary for the fundamental security of the state of Israel, and that includes Iran.20 Somewhat contradictory are the words of Israel‟s Interior Minister Sheerit who announced “It is wise and worthwhile to give up the dream of a greater Israel…We need peace, because peace will guarantee safety on both sides”. So again we are reminded of Paul‟s words in 1Thessalonians 5:3. “While people are saying, „Peace and safety,‟ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.” And the term „Greater Israel‟ is code for the Orthodox and Bible believing Christians. Sheerit is letting them know that the sitting government considers God‟s promise that Israel will occupy all the land, - of no account.21
