The United Nations said that the U.S. drone war in Pakistan violates international law. UN officials admitted to this after strikes launched by unmanned U.S. drone aircraft in Pakistan over the objections of the country's government violate international law. This statement comes from an UN Special Rapporteur on Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights Ben Emmerson from Pakistan's capital being Islamabad. Citing investigations and discussions with Pakistani officials, Emmerson wrote: “As a matter of international law, the US drone campaign is therefore being conducted without the consent of the elected representatives of the people, or the legitimate government of the state. It involves the use of force on the territory of another state without its consent, and is therefore a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty.” It is not a secret that Washington has launched hundreds of drone strikes in Pakistan. The West claims that the precision strikes on leaders of the resistance to NATO's occupation are legitimate. This has been part of an illegal campaign of mass killings wages against defenseless civilians. Emmerson talked with tribal leaders. Emmerson later concluded, “Drone strikes routinely inflicted civilian casualties … groups of adult males carrying out ordinary daily tasks were frequently the victims of such strikes.” Emmerson found that at least 330 drone strikes took place in Pakistan that killed at least 2,200. Many of these victims have little to nothing to do with Washington's supposed rationale for drone killings. According to the U.S. government's own figures, only 2 percent of those killed by drone strikes in Pakistan are high value targets. The data from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism found that at least 474 of the victims were confirmed as civilians. Even these figures underestimate the remote controlled carnage that Washington is unleashing along Pakistan's mountainous border with Afghanistan (or one of the poorest and most remote locations on Earth). Emmerson acknowledged, “Efforts to identify the exact number of the deceased (and therefore to establish the exact number of civilian deaths) were hampered by security concerns and by topographical and institutional obstacles … as well as by the cultural tradition of Pashtun tribes to bury their dead as soon as possible.” Like usual, U.S. officials have dismissed the UN statement. These are same ones trying to use the UN to advance murderous sanctions against Iran and they disagree with the UN on this issue. The State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland flatly refusing to comment: “We’ve seen his press release. I’m obviously not going to speak about classified information here.” White House spokesman Josh Earnest declined to comment on the UN statement. He said that Washington's “cooperative security relationship” with the Pakistani army. The UN statement proved that there is a global U.S. network of drone bases and flights (in which Washington orders strikes at will in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and soon other parts of Africa possibly). NATO could massively intervene in Mali and Niger without legal foundation. America operates 8,000 drones worldwide. They are used inside of America for immigration and other law enforcement purposes. The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the drone industry trade group, reportedly aims to turn drone construction into an $82 billion business by 2025. U.S. Attorney General Eric dealt with the controversy of domestic usage of drones. On March 4, Holder wrote a letter in response to a question as to whether the US President “has the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a US citizen on US soil, and without trial.” He concluded that there were circumstances in which this would indeed be “necessary and appropriate.” This is part of the abrogation of basic constitutional rights that have existed for centuries in America. The drone killings in America have never stopped the violations of human liberties at home. Pakistan is oppressed by drones. These attacks harm medical areas, schools, funerals, and other civilian locations. Many Pakistani civilians have felt emotional harm by drones. A 45-year-old Pakistani farmer explained that a drone destroyed his house, which was empty as his family worked in the field. He said, “I was extremely sad, because normally a house costs around 10 lakh or 1 million rupees [US$10,593], and I don’t even have 5,000 rupees [US$53] now. I spent my whole life in that house; my father had lived here as well. There is a big difference between having your own home and living on rent or mortgage … I belong to a poor family and my home has been destroyed.” A Waziri journalist said, “If I’m shopping, I’m really careful and scared. If I’m standing on the road and there is a car parked next to me, I never know if that is going to be the target. Maybe they will target the car in front of me or behind me. Even in mosques, if we’re praying, we’re worried that maybe one person who is standing with us praying is wanted. So wherever we are, we have this fear of drones.”

 

 

One of the underreported events in the world is the anti-ballistic missiles. The new U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel mentioned recently that the Pentagon will expand the number of ground based, anti-ballistic missile interceptors deployed in the Asia Pacific region by nearly 50 percent by 2017. There are an additional 14 interceptors that would be based at Fort Greely in Alaska on top of 26 already in place. Another three are already stationed in California.  Hagel seized on the North Korea's nuclear test last month and its satellite launch in December. This was done was an excuse or pretext for the expansion of U.S. anti-ballistic missile system. “North Korea, in particular, has recently made advances in its capabilities and has engaged in a series of irresponsible and reckless provocations,” he said. The reality is that his commented are cynical. North Korea has a limited nuclear and missile capacity. This reality is being used as an excuse to justify the use of sophisticated anti-missile system all over the Asia Pacific region. This is used to counter China's nuclear arsenal. North Korea responded to the additional UN Security Council sanctions in this month of March. North Korea said that it had the right to defend itself including via “a pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor.” The Obama administration, however, simply dismissed the threat. Neither Hagel nor any Pentagon official has suggested that Pyongyang actually has the ability to carry out such an attack on Washington. Also, the Pentagon wants to expand the number of interceptors that predate both the North Korean missile launch and nuclear test. A senior American defense official told the Washington Post that the expansion “had been in the works for about six months.” In other words, North Korea had simply supplied a convenient excuse for the announcement. Hagel said that the U.S. will deploy an additional early warning system to Japan. This is a sophisticated X-band radar, which is capable of tracking ballistic missiles. There is already one such U.S. installation in northern Japan. The U.S. is planning to create a second one in the south of the country. The Pentagon leaked details of its anti-ballistic missile plans to the Wall Street Journal. The report said that the Pentagon wants a third X-band radar installation in South East Asia, possibly in the Philippines. This technology can increase the U.S. military's ability to track the trajectory of ballistic missiles and thus to destroy them with interceptors. Japan and other nations in Asia are collaborating with America in trying to have this technology. The US navy recently boosted the number of its Arleigh Burke -class guided missile destroyers in waters off the Korean Peninsula, as part of joint exercises with South Korea. The US military also has Patriot missile batteries in South Korea. This technology is being used to act as a buffer to the hegemony of China and Russia. Such anti-ballistic capabilities can be used to a limited salvo of missiles, fired by an enemy already badly damaged by a first nuclear strike by the United States. China and Russia oppose such a program for obvious reasons. They don’t wish such devices to be near their territories. Some in the Chinese bureaucracy are even opening suggesting that Pyongyang could be cut loose. The reason is that North Korea's weapons program is giving the U.S. a reason to expand their anti-missile program. Similar systems in China are still behind the U.S as admitted by Air force expert Fu Qianshao when he told the media. U.S. military forces in Asia as a means to further influence that region of the world. We will see the America-China relationship in the 2020s.

 

 

There are a lot of influence of Secret orders and other entities in the world society even now. Mervin B. Hogan is one of the best Masonic writers. He was selected to be a friar back in 1976. In that year, he presented his paper called "Mormonism and Freemasonry: The Illinois Episode." The paper documents the similarities between the tenets of Mormonism and the tenets of universal Freemasonry. Freemasonry is linked to the Kabbalah as admitted by Mason Albert Pike. It is said that Joseph Smith utilized Kabbalah. In fact the researcher Lance Owens wrote that Alexander Neibaur (a close friend of Joseph Smith) was an adherent of the Kabbalah. Smith's other apostle and close friend was Orson Hyde. Even the so-called Christian Mouw wants Christians to follow the Kabbalah. The Kabbalah is the Mystery School perversion of original Jewish spirituality. Pharisaism is linked to the Talmud too. Albert Pike stated in Morals and Dogma, “The Kabbalah is the key of all Masonry and the occult sciences…”So, if you know about the occult, it will lead into the study of Kabbalah. The Kabbalah is a view that deals with the Ein Sof (or the infinite) relationship with the finite Universe that Ein Sof created. The Zohar is the book that deals heavily with Kabbalistic thought. The Kabbalah teaches that the Torah has a mystical side, which must be studied in order for enlightenment to come among its followers. In other words, the Kabbalah teaches that codes are in the Torah that describes inner truths of the Universe. The Kabbalah believes that God's emanations as found in the Tree of Life can help humans to be accessed to his wisdom. Emanations to the Kabbalists reveal the concealed mystery from within the Godhead. The Sephirot is the 10 emanations and attributes of God that he continues to use to sustain the Universe in existence. The Kabbalah is a favorite of those who follow magic in real life. The Kabbalah is loved by the New Age Movement. This movement included folks like the late Alice Bailey. Bailey wrote many books and wrote education goals for U.S. Health, Education, and Welfare in 1958. Today, when you look at the establishment now, there are not only Secret societies. There are great political forces dominating Western society like the Pilgrims Society, the 1001 Club, and Le Cercle. David Rockefeller is one of the most powerful men in the Western Hemisphere. He is a member of both the Pilgrims and the 1001 Club. He was involved in the post-World War II globalization process. He is involved in the CFR, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission. His brother Laurence Rockefeller is also involved in the 1001 Club. In the States, other very powerful men include Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Paul Volcker, James Wolfensohn, John Whitehead, Peter Peterson, Warren Buffett, George Schultz, and others. Many of these men are in the Pilgrims Society, which includes the princes and Kings of global elite power. One of the most powerful men in the world is Lord Peter Carrington. He is the President of the Pilgrims Society and he is a member of the Order of the Garter. He is Chairman of the Bilderberg and the Director of Kissinger Associates. When you do the research, you discover that the liberal establishment and the conservative establishment are linked to these think tanks and organizations. The linkage is the Left/Right Paradigm.


 

In popular culture, you see some folks talking about it even celebrities. Nicole Scherzinger  spoke in an interview with the Independent. She said that the music industry is something else. She talked about what is truly needed to make it. According to her, female pop stars who receive “industry love” must obey orders, forget about their values and accept to be slutty. In short, they must be willing participants of the elite’s Agenda. In Scherzinger's words:  "To make it, you really have to sell your soul to the devil”. This phrase is often used by celebrities who discuss the industry. Her words are similar to other insiders that talk about the evil, nefarious side of the entertainment industry.   It is not a secret that some in the industry forsake their morals and values they have learned as a child. Some ally with the evil forces the run the music industry. Some turn true spirituality or true concept upside down as a means to adjust to the music industry.  Scherzinger has been known for influences from pop and even hip hop. Yet, she started her career as part of the acoustic goth band called Days of the New. Now, she is the opposite of a goth type of person. She said that she had no choice to join her famous all girls band.  Nicole said the following: “My first response when I was invited to join was, No way! I come from a strong religious background, and I had a very conservative upbringing. So I was nervous, and confused. Here I was wanting to be Whitney Houston, so why did I have to dress in lingerie to do that? I didn’t get it.” Nicole Scherzinger said that if she acted more provocatively, she could of achieved more popularity in the music industry. Regardless of how you feel about her, she is accurate to say that the music industry in the mainstream level is filled with divisive agenda and cut throat individuals. There is no doubt about that. In the final analysis, we know about corruption, but individually we have to take accountability for our own actions individually. Collectively, though, the world has many evils and injustices that ought to be opposed at every turn. Individuals with that fame are bobbed everywhere. You can't go into some placed without paparazzi taking pictures of you.

 

 

The Bible Miniseries is the highest rated series in the history of the History Channel. That is amazing. It is a 10 hour miniseries that covers the Bible stories from Genesis to Revelation. It has been a commercial success. Many folks believe that Hollywood got it correct this time. Yet, a serpent may shed its skin, but it is still a serpent. The issue with this series is that much of the series deals with unbiblical heresies and changes much of the Bible's details. Whether you agree with the Bible or not, there is the mention of salvation and forgiveness of sin as said by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. That is one core item of the teachings of Jesus Christ in general. In our general, the establishment readily exploits the Bible for controlling the masses, especially monotheists. The advisors to the miniseries are filled with prosperity Gospel activists and other establishment religious figures. One of them are the co-creators Roma Downey and Mark Burnett. “We weren’t qualified to teach the Bible, but we knew plenty of people who were,” – The Bible mini-series co-creator Mark Burnett, speaking of the panel of spiritual advisors who helped make the mini-series. The Board of Advisors in the series are filled with folks like Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, Donald William Wurel, T.D. Jakes, Dr. Cynthia Hale, Richard Mouw, Dr. Miroslav Volf, Anthony Basil Taylor. This is the Dream Team of establishment figures, many of whom love the heresy of decrepit prosperity gospel. The prosperity gospel is wrong, because material wealth means nothing without spiritual & moral growth with God. Money can never save a soul only by the grace of God via faith (in the blood of the Lamb. The blood of Lamb saves the souls of human beings). Dr. Richard Mouw is an apologist of Mormonism. Mormonism is a false religious organization that was formed by the Freemason & deceiver Joseph Smith. Mormonism teaches that Lucifer is not the devil or Satan, but Venus. Mormonism copied Masonry so such that high level 33rd degree Freemason Blanchard said that both institutions are similar to each other. They believe that Jesus is the older brother of Lucifer. Mormonism teaches the long myth of human godhood. Joel Osteen refuses to judge the war on terror as evil or call out heresies including other false doctrines in the world. T.D. Jakes is in love with the prosperity gospel. Warren is a CFR member. So, the fruit of this series is known. The series is wrong to place Noah's son as small children in the ark. The Bible shows them as grown, married men and they had their wives to come in the ark. Abram is shown as a nomad scraping to survive when Genesis 13:2 mentioned that Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. The miniseries portrays Abraham as a religious extremist who was hell bent on killing Isaac when he had faith and God allow him not to sacrifice his own son.  The Jesus character looks like the old Renaissance era or Catholic depictions of Jesus Christ. It shows a social justice message, which I have no issue with. Yet, social justice alone will not save a soul without help from God. Downey is one human being in the series ad she loves Eckhart Tolle, etc. Toller is a New Age guru. His book called “A New Earth” mentions things that are contrary to Biblical Christianity. Tolle views Heaven not as a location, but an inner realm of consciousness. Tolle wrote that nothing is wrong in viewing humans as I am. This is silly since many things are wrong in the wrong and ordinary human beings are not I am Downey worked with the psychic medium John Edward in trying to contact the dead. It doesn't take a genius to see that the OT and NT forbids human beings from dabbling in the occult especially in trying to contact the dead. Not only has Downey used and endorsed John Edward’s occult practices, she has assisted him with a book on praying based on heretical Catholic practices. In the book Edwards encourages readers to “pray the rosary” a practice of holding a Catholic Crucifix necklace and uttering repetitive chants in prayers to Mary, the mother of Jesus in the Bible. This is wrong since speaking with the dead is necromancy. The only medium between God and man is Christ Jesus. Jesus is our advocate with God the Father or the High priest for our prayers. Some are using the Bible Miniseries as a means to preach. Religious deception is big business indeed.
