Bishop Richard Williamson gave a sermon in London in 2007 which has turned out to be quite prophetic for him. In the sermon, His Excellency discussed George Orwell’s 1984 and its implications for us Christians in the coming police state. In fact, I would say that His Excellency’s words, although spoken to a Catholic audience, extend to all lovers of Freedom and Truth, particularly to those who would dare defend them.

Militarizing Police Departments with your bailout money
Thursday, February 12, 2009
George Orwell, call your office !
If prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, then city mayors follow a very close second. In fact, it occurs to me they may be the spiritual offspring of the aforementioned liaisons. Whenever there is loose change or unclaimed dollar bills laying around, mayors can smell them a mile away and if a Sugar Daddy offers free cash, they never stop to question what the vigorish might be. The urban emperors, suburban commissars, the hack and the highbrow, the Republican and Democrat, the apolitical and amoral, the exurban apparatchiks all assemble to line dance down Pennsylvania Avenue like ladies of the evening on the way to a golden score with Big Daddy.
Inside source reveals FEMA and DHS preparing for mass graves and martial law near Chicago
By: D. H. Williams @ 10:41 PM - EST
An Indiana county municipal official in the vicinity of Chicago reveals the contents of his meetings with FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. The initial requests seem reasonable enough when FEMA asks the county officials to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan to deal with flooding, fires, high winds and tornadoes.
The Kosher Nostra-Damien, Armageddon Minstrel Show
As I have been maintaining of late… it’s all coming out and things like this need to be burned into the minds of those who trot along beside the caravan like pariah dogs seeking scraps as the landscape is looted to the ground. Yes… our boy Rahm showing the intentions of the Kosher Nostra as point man for the apocalypse. Any fool can see that the financial collapse has been caused by this just as The Great Depression was.

Orbital Collision: Please pick up the nearest black courtesy phone
So, an Iridium satellite just happened to collide with a defunct Russian military satellite…
You’re about to learn how the sausage gets made, and, before we begin, you should know that it’s not pretty.
I don’t know the whole story about Iridium, but it has got to be one of the spookiest tales of them all.
Financial crisis called top security threat to US
Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair told Congress yesterday that instability in countries around the world caused by the current global economic crisis, rather than terrorism, is the primary near-term security threat to the United States.
"Roughly a quarter of the countries in the world have already experienced low-level instability such as government changes because of the current slowdown," Blair told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, delivering the first annual threat assessment in six years in which terrorism was not presented as the primary danger to this country.
Hampshire College divests from Israel
Excerpt:

Alan Dershowitz leaps into attack mode.
As a result of a two-year campaign by their student body, Hampshire College has decided to divest from companies that do business with Israel.
Axis of Logic correspondent, Elaine Antonia writes:
“Hampshire’s divestment is what we hope to be the beginning of a growing trend. It was divestment that contributed to the dissolution of the apartheid government in South Africa. Money always speaks the loudest, especially in capitalistic countries like the US and Israel. The pressure on Hampshire College by the Israel Lobby is going to be intense and he punishment will be harsh. That's the way that the Israel lobby works!"
Included below the following article is a very carefully-worded and somewhat ambiguous statement by Hampshire College, that may reflect precisely the "pressure by the Israeli Lobby" described by Elaine Antonia. Regardless of how they choose to describe their divestment, we applaud Hampshire College for taking this bold, moral and responsible step to divest “from companies on the grounds of their involvement in the Israeli occupation of Palestine”.

Former NY Senate Republican majority committed wild abuses of power
It has become a commonplace that New York's Legislature is the worst in the country. Evidence emerges daily of how low and irresponsible the capital is. We offer fresh examples.
Exhibit No. 1 validating the Legislature's title as America's worst: the gross excesses committed by the Senate's former Republican majority.
Inspecting the Senate's $100 million budget, newly empowered Democrats have uncovered the details of how former GOP leader Joe Bruno and his crew operated the chamber as a taxpayer-financed clubhouse.
Shamed out of using state helicopters for political travel, Bruno treated himself to a $50,000 van with leather-upholstered captain chairs.
His Republicans operated a $3 million-a-year print shop with 60 employees who cranked out four-color promotional publications for Republicans and one-color flyers for Dems.
The GOP also had a TV studio where only Republicans could record propaganda for cable broadcast at public expense. They also operated a $2 million "research service" that worked hand-in-glove with the GOP campaign team.

'Worst economic collapse ever'
In 2009 we’re going to see the worst economic collapse ever, the ‘Greatest Depression’, says Gerald Celente, U.S. trend forecaster. He believes it’s going to be very violent in the U.S., including there being a tax revolt.
RT: The fragile U.S. economy has been met with bank bailouts and stimulus plans. So what’s to come in 2009? Joining me now to answer that question is Gerald Celente, founder and director of the Trends Research Institute. Thank you for joining me.

A reader sends this timing note:
"I don´t know if anybody follows this, but there is something called the "Economic Pi Cycle" which was developed by Martin Armstrong. The predictions based on this model were astonishing.
The last time I "used" it was "2007.15" (02/27/07). Two weeks before that date, I sold everything ... accumulated Gold and fled into German Bunds. Everybody thought I was nuts (I might have been.) My wife thought I was nuts, but since my investment decisions had brought us double digit returns every year she let me do. In the 02.27.2007 ... the full day nothing really happened and I went to bed at about 21:30 thinking that I really had gone mad. Next morning I read the newspaper and read that Asian Stock markets had collapsed ... Greenspan had just said that the US was going to enter a recession ... and the first bank did a first massive write off. You can´t imagine how shocked I was.
The intersting thing about telling this, is that the next day in the model is approaching. The model is very similar to the elliot wave theory, only it is based on a much wider time frame and has a multitude of waves operating simultaneously. The next date is 2009.3 which equates to 04.23.2009. According to the model something is going to collapse .. the collapse will be monumental ... it is one of these things where we do not know what .. but when and in which direction ... Confidence of the next 3 years is going to be shattered to levels unknown to our generation.
Make what you want of it ...."
I too am a fan of Armstrong's work. As I read it, he's such a dangerously accurate guy in his work that he ended up being locked up for seven years on contempt charges and after the government finally got a guilty plea out of him in 2007, gave him 5-years, so he will be out in either 2011 or 2012, not sure how the 'good behavior' thing works with the federal corrections system.
Key to who will govern Israel: Avigdor Lieberman
Jerusalem - Israel is in a political bind. The nation voted Tuesday, but Wednesday two leaders claimed victory and a third-party newcomer found himself anointed the new Israeli "kingmaker."
Centrist Tzipi Livni's Kadima won 28 seats in the Knesset, or parliament, while right-wing Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud took 27 – so slim a margin that neither can claim a governing majority.

Hamas: Israel elected 'troika of terrorism'
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- A Hamas official said Israeli voters elected a "troika of terrorism."
The top three vote-getters in Tuesday night's election were centrist Kadima Party led by Tzipi Livni, the right-wing Likud Party led by Benjamin Netanyahu, and the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu led by Avigdor Lieberman.
Geithner hands over all mortgages to JP Morgan
Once again, we have to talk about Jekyll Island and JP Morgan and how this whole Federal Reserve thing came into being. The Feds are giving JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs our entire mortgage market! You heard me right: they are now the custodians of almost ALL of our mortgages! And what are they? The owners of the Federal Reserve! Time to dig into this, as usual. It is so tiresome and utterly necessary if we want to fix things. And do not despair! These frantic efforts of the criminal class are falling apart! We must be read for the next stage: when even the average American is fed up and full of fear.

Pressure mounts on Madoff middlemen
By Svea Herbst-Bayliss - Analysis
BOSTON (Reuters) - After rebuffing subpoenas for weeks, a close associate and key middleman for Bernard Madoff essentially had one thing to say when he finally showed up to testify before Massachusetts regulators: I'm not talking.
Robert Jaffe, who had delivered clients to Madoff, invoked the "Fifth Amendment," a constitutional right of witnesses who do not want to incriminate themselves, when he testified last week, court documents released on Wednesday show.
Madoff's wife pulled out $15 million before his arrest
By Svea Herbst-Bayliss and Martha Graybow
BOSTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The wife of Bernard Madoff withdrew more than $15 million from an account linked to the accused swindler in the days before his arrest, Massachusetts authorities said on Wednesday, adding a new layer of intrigue into the probe of the purported $50 billion scam.
Citigroup's Vikram Pandit to take $1 Salary, No Bonus
By Elizabeth Hester
Feb. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Citigroup Inc. Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit said he will take a salary of $1 and no bonus until the bank, which has accepted $45 billion in government bailout money, returns to profitability.
“I get the new reality and I will make sure Citi gets it as well,” Pandit said today in testimony before the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. Lawmakers called eight bank CEOs to Washington to explain how they were using their portion of the government’s $350 billion of rescue funds to boost credit.
Survival Retreat vs Neighborhood Survival
February 11, 2009
By Dr. Richard
Earlier this month, I posted Etienne's guest post Seeking/Starting a Survival Retreat in Virginia / Maryland / Pennsylvania / West Virginia. Today, I had lunch with Etienne de la Boetie and another prepper here in Loudoun County. We had a long discussion about survival retreats vs neighborhood survival. Etienne is a big fan of the survival retreat concept. He previously had a retreat where he did not own the land but where he was able to store a travel trailer recreational vehicle in which he pre-positioned various preps and supplies. Unfortunately, his friend moved and sold the property. There are four major flaws in the survival retreat separate from your home concept:
