Today in Scripture

    "On the 24th day of the 9th month, in the 2nd year of Darius, the word of YAHWEH came to the prophet Haggai: ... 'From this day on, from this 24th day of the 9th month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of YAHWEH's temple was laid...'" (Haggai 2:10-23)

    [WAR: This past Sunday, B16 linked the Winter Solstice with the birth of Yahshua. He was close, but yet so far.

    Knowing that "the temple he had spoken of was his body," (John 2:21) the above verse indicates that Yahshua wasn't born on, or near, the Winter Solstice -- but rather, he was conceived on, or near, it. Because, if you add 9 months of gestation from today, you arrive at the Feast of Trumpets.

    Oh, how the Precious Truth is so much better than the Pagan Traditions!]

    * "Here I have to reveal a trade secret, which punctures the mystique of intelligence analysis. Generally speaking, 80% of the information one needs to form judgments on key intelligence targets or issues is available in open media."

 

    * "In his usual form, former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter told a packed crowd to stop whining about corporate media and become their own intelligence operatives. We the people have the same resources and tools that intelligence networks rely heavily on; it's called 'Google.' As our own intelligence operatives we can't allow CNN, FOX, NBC, and ABC to edit and cherry pick information, but ask questions and find the answers ourselves."

 

    * "Many apparently separate developing daily events don't make the slightest sense, if you don't look at them in their strategic context. In the face of Orwellian control of the media, it is even more necessary, to judge contemporary developments with the eye of an historian, who has not forgotten the lessons of [history]."
