Publisher’s Preface

 

Greetings!  The following presentation is volume eighteen of a 36-volume production of some 6,000 pages on “Ezekiel and YHWH’s Judgment for the Good News People,” all of which is on the Internet at the www.age-end.com web site. 

 

This overall effort provides an interpretation of the Good News message in the New Testament, its linkage to the book of Ezekiel, and an application of both to the age-end prophecies relating to certain nations and peoples now out in the world.  In order for this single volume to be understood and comprehended, it is imperative that the study be read from its beginning--from page one of volume one. 

 

Anyone trying to read this volume or the study’s 6,000 pages at any mid-point will end up in a state of confusion without having read and digested the preceding material.  It is crucially important that this work be read in sequence from its beginning--otherwise, the reader will almost certainly end up missing the essence of the message! 

 

The effort was originally set on a Macintosh computer with Microsoft Word 6.0.1.  It was set in Helvetica, 12-point type (18 pt on chapter headings); single line spacings; and margins:  left 1.2”, right 0.8”, top 0.7”, bottom 0.8” and footer 0.6” (for page numbers). 

 

For further information on obtaining this study in 18 computer floppy disks (IBM-formatted, high density, 2HD, 1.44 MB, 3 1/2 inches); in a single CD-Rom; or in hard copies (when the Internet or a compatible computer is not available); please write the publisher at the above address and send a stamped, self-addressed, long (legal-size), return envelope. 

 

With a CD-Rom or computer floppy disks, the study is readable on Macintosh (systems 5.0 and later) or IBM/compatible (with Microsoft Word-Windows) personal computers.  May The Great CREATOR and SOVEREIGN OF THE UNIVERSE bless you as you study His word to learn His will and to obey Him.  Shalom (peace) to you and yours!

Chapter 264--Sun Worship Pollution

 

 

Cancer 

 

One of the things which American people have been throwing billions of dollars at annually for quite some time now has been cancer.  While some of this money is spent on medical care of persons with cancer, and/or cancer health insurance, much of it is also spent by the various governments (from taxation or money printing) for health care of the (cancerous) poor and aged and cancer research. 

 

For about 30 years now, the US and other governments have had a so-called war on cancer (plus a war on drugs, as discussed previously).  Like the war on drugs, the war on cancer is not really meant to accomplish anything. 

 

The war on cancer is a scheme designed to pacify the gullible public, and make them think that the politicians and ruling fat cats really care about the people; when, in fact, they don’t care.  They want the status quo to continue because they are making gobs of money off of the present situation. 

 

In an article on “Life--the Missing Link,” in the Winter-Spring 98 “Back to the Garden” magazine (p. 6), the previously quoted Dr George H. Malkmus estimated an expenditure of over $1 trillion annually by Americans for health care because of cancer, diabetes and other health problems.  Obviously, cancer and other degenerative problems cost big bucks in the US and worldwide as well. 

 

A front page headline in the May 29, 1997, “USA Today” said the US government’s program of a war on cancer was “a bust” after spending $30 billion of the taxpayer’s money. 

 

Yes, cancer deaths keep climbing.  The “Information Please Almanac,” 1990 to 1997, put the annual death rate, per 100,000 people at 67.7 in 1900, 86.9 in 1920, 123.1 in 1940, 182.5 in 1980, 203.2 in 1990 and 206.0 in 1993. 

 

A March 13, 1998, news report did try to claim that deaths had leveled off or went down slightly in recent years.  But this report remains very questionable for a number of reasons.  A lot depends on what study was involved and how extensive it was in terms of its population. 

 

As a minimum, many of the reports coming from the former Clinton administration were nothing but twisted lies and distortions--so one must be careful about accepting news coming out of Washington or even from the controlled national media (the same is just as true today with the Bush administration). 

 

Cancer is now the number one killer of children and the adult death rate has been doubling every four years (per Dr C. Samuel West, “Spotlight,” Jan 15, 1996).  It now accounts for 20% of all deaths worldwide.  Per the just mentioned “USA Today” article, cancer (if not AIDS) soon will be the number one cause of death. 

 

 

The Unknown Cause 

 

In this publicized war on cancer, the first problem the “approved” medical establishment has faced was ostensibly one of finding out what causes cancer (although a news report on Jan 13, 2000, noted that one-third of cancer cases is caused by diet). 

 

After 30 years and hundreds of billions of dollars being spent by governments and private people, the answer is that the “approved” medical establishment still doesn’t know for sure what causes cancer or even how to properly treat it, beyond the establishment-approved, traditional, unscriptural drugs, radiation and surgery methods. 

 

Contrary to the prevailing confusion and uncertainty in the “approved” medical science field, a number of nutritionists, alternative health care specialists and persons who read and believe the Scriptures have come up with an abundance of evidence that the ingestion (through breathing, eating, drinking, touching, feeling, etc) of pollutants and poisons is the primary cause of cancer (secondary causes--stress, infections, accidents and genetics to some extent). 

 

Yes, cancer can be caused from breathing polluted air (like smog, poisons in tobacco smoke, asbestos fibers, etc), eating of poisoned foods (like those with DES, sodium nitrite, pesticides, numerous preservatives, dyes, enhancers, additives, etc), drinking of water (with chlorine, fluoride, chemical poisons from water run off and seepage, etc) touching (certain dyed clothes, etc) or being near poisonous sources. 

 

The problem of very dangerous and deadly poisons is enormous and often people are simply unaware of the dangers.  For example, a recent news report said that scientific studies have suggested that two of the chemicals used in the most popular sun-screens (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) may break DNA strands--if they penetrate the skin’s outer layer (Nov-Dec 2000 “Dispatch from Jerusalem,” p. 7). 

 

 

Electro-Magnetic Energy Sources 

 

The just mentioned matter of being in the proximity of poisonous sources opens up a massive can of worms here in the early 21st century.  Since WWII, electric power lines have literally appeared all over the globe.  People live near them and they have long been suspected of causing cancer, besides emotional and mental problems. 

 

The last thirty years have seen a turn to cellular phones, computer terminals and various microwave, electro-magnetic and wireless communication systems--all over the world.  To this list, one must add in radio, television, radar and so forth which go even further back.  It seems that man has jumped into this thing massively without the foggiest notion of what these sophisticated electronic-magnetic devices may mean. 

 

Not only do these electronic sources themselves adversely affect humans, but a frightening story has come out of Japan which should really upset people.  The May 10, 2002, “The Week” (p. 19) says that studies have shown that the use of cell phones in closed compartment trains affects both the users and the innocent by-standers (sort of like second hand smoke that bothers even non-smokers). 

 

This report said that 30 cell phone users in a carload of 150 passengers generated dangerously high levels of electromagnetic radiation because the radiation emitted by the phones had no place to go but to just bounce around in the compartment. 

 

The Art Bell Dreamland program for Jan 30, 2000, had a medical doctor on who asserted that the link between these various communication systems and cancer is now firmly established.  People using cell phones extensively find that they not only have memory problems, but often brain tumors and other neuro problems as well. 

 

 

The Effect? 

 

What these massive microwave and low radio frequency devices (which must include HAARP [to be described in a later chapter], although HAARP was not cited by the doctor on the Art Bell program) are doing to nature and the environment is still unknown.  Certainly, schools and groups of porpoises, dolphins and other mammals, birds and fish using sound communications are going crazy and dying. 

 

Whales are beaching themselves increasingly, penguins are mixed up, frogs are vanishing all over the world in droves, and sharks are coming into coastal waters and attacking humans in those waters near the shoreline (as happened several times in Aug and early Sep 2001, with swimmers in waters off of Florida, Virginia and North Carolina). 

 

Is there a cause and effect relationship between all of these problems in nature and man’s increasing use of electro-magnetic systems in the last 30 years?  Anyway, enough is known to make a person realize that he should stay away from these electrical sources as much as possible.  They are dangerous to even be around. 

 

 

Dr Nick Begich 

 

Incidentally, on the subject of whales beaching themselves, there seems to be some evidence which does suggest the reason or cause behind some of the beachings (not all of them, but some or many of them).  For example, some whales, other marine animals and fish are diseased in some manner, suggesting environmental pollution. 

 

Otherwise, Dr Nick Begich had some interesting reports on scientific efforts to disrupt nature on the Coast to Coast AM radio program on Jan 6, 2001.  He discussed the present efforts of the US government (principally the US Navy) and other nations to conduct sonar experiments in the oceans.  

 

Begich says sonar sound waves are stronger and more powerful under water.  They seem to have an enormous impact upon water mammals, fish and so forth.  He says that whales nearby or even at some distance away can be injured by these sonar experiments.  The ears of whales can be punctured/shattered--which causes them to beach themselves.  

 

Obviously, other experiments can damage or upset the sonar and positioning and directional finding capabilities of water life.  Thus, whales (though otherwise healthy) can get all mixed up and beach themselves in confusion.  Begich brought up the realties of HAARP, which also could be playing a role in all forms of wildlife (including whales), as well as domesticated animals and people.  HAARP will be assessed later. 

 

Dr Begich adds that the US government is spending huge sums of money on these underwater experiments going on in many oceans/seas around the world (apparently much of it in the form of black, classified projects).  He questions the value and purpose of many of these “scientific” efforts. 

 

 

More on Frogs 

 

The steady, slow, persistent disappearance of frogs was in the limelight in a news report on “Is it the water?” in the April 29, 2002, “U.S. News & World Report” (p. 63).  Per this story, the last decade saw more than 200 species of frogs decline and some 20 species are now thought to have gone extinct.  The question must be why on this enormous loss of frogs? 

 

The USNWR noted a recent study of the nation’s most popular agricultural weed-killer atrazine.  Each year, some 76 million pounds of atrazine are sprayed upon corn and sorghum.  Much of it ends up in the water run off. 

 

In laboratory experiments at the University of California (Berkeley), endocrinologist Tyrone Hayes found that just 0.1 part per billion of this stuff can hamper male frogs’ sexual development, even turning them into hermaphrodites.  As it turns out, this study was produced just as the EPA has been assessing safe atrazine levels for so-called human beings. 

 

The 0.1 part per billion is just a thirtieth of the EPA standard for human drinking water.  This means that so-called human beings are consuming far more of atrazine than what interferes in the development of frogs.  Obviously, this whole subject is important both for the future of frogs as well as that of humans/humanoids.  Thus, is it possible that this one weed-killer has had a role to play in the wiping out of frogs? 

 

 

More on Water 

 

Thus, how about the water man drinks in today’s modern culture?  Is it safe and good for human consumption?  Or alternatively, is it possible that there are serious problems in today’s modern drinking water which the establishment leaders and scientists simply have overlooked? 

 

The need for clean water has been assessed in a prior chapter on health.  There is no need to repeat those comments on need.  However, the point here concerns whether the available drinking water is clean and adequate for human consumption or does it have problems?  As noted earlier, it does have problems! 

 

What a tragedy it is that The HIGHEST made an abundant source of good, clean, wonderful water for humans to drink with friendly beneficial bacteria and minerals and particularly as found in the underground water supply, springs and even many flowing water ways.  Today, man has polluted all these sources to various degrees. 

 

Because most of the common water supply is totally polluted with unfriendly bacteria (from sewage and septic tank discharges), man has to treat the water with chlorine before it can be drunk.  Of course, chlorine is a poison which not only kills the friendly and unfriendly bacteria, but also begins a process of killing its human consumers (slowly over time). 

 

Chlorinated tap water is generally bad for consumption.  It is ultimately a killer to whomsoever is dumb enough to drink it.  Yes, chlorine is a chemical poison which causes miscarriages, bladder cancer and other diseases.  Over time, it does kill for sure. 

 

People alive in this present warped society should go the extra mile and consume pure water without these added chemical poisons.  Distilled water is safe and the better option (and purified water next).  Some clean rain and spring water (from a controlled and safe source) is probably best, if available. 

 

Not content with selling chlorine poison to water companies, the fat cats who rule the world figured out years ago that they could also sell fluoride (also a poison) to water suppliers, as well, on the premise that fluoride helps to prevent tooth decay.  And why do modern people have such a problem with tooth decay?  Well, the answer is simply too much consumption of poisonous, processed, unnatural foods and sugar. 

 

So both poisons are added to the water most persons drink and then the people never understand why they have cancer and other diseases.  Only a fool drinks the public’s water supplies.  Yet, the entire, Western, Christian, sun worship culture drinks it and never whimpers or never seems to mind or question why. 

 

 

More Really Bad Stuff 

 

Beyond the chlorine and fluoride poison additions, the truth is that much of the chemicals and other poisons that men use in today’s culture eventually runs off into the various sewage and septic tank systems to pollute the underground water table; and of course, the rivers, creeks and streams which flow nearby. 

 

Many of the bathroom, clothing and dish cleaning items are deadly poisons.  You think not?  Take a few minutes and read the labels on your friendly detergent, soap, disinfectant and plumber helper products.  Almost without exception, the labels warn about getting this stuff in one’s eyes, breathing it or coming into other close contact with it. 

 

Why?  Because these products are typically deadly chemical poisons.  They kill!  So, where does all of this stuff run off when one uses it in his or her happy kitchen sink, bathroom and toilet bowl?  Yes, these poisons flow to the septic tanks and sewage systems to run right back into the person’s own water supplies for drinking purposes (after being diluted with sewage water). 

 

Obviously, as these poisons seep into the ground from septic tanks, they eventually seep to the underground water table, although some of them are filtered out in the rock and soil layers. 

 

For people hooked up to a public/municipal sewage system, the poisons flow into that system (typically for treatment of the sewage bacteria, but not really for the removal of the inorganic poisons) to find their way eventually to the rivers and streams where people also drink from. 

 

 

A Tragic Report 

 

A Jan 2, 2002, news report classically demonstrates how far the modern madness has extended in man’s continuing efforts to pollute his drinking water.  The story concerns a recent discovery that there is now a huge adverse fall-out from the gross use and presence of modern pharmaceutical drugs (which are mostly poisons, as discussed in previous remarks). 

 

The problem arises when the average John and Mary Doe citizens end up with some of these poisonous pills which were left over after an illness or need and not taken.  While it is true that some persons will hang onto these old drugs and pills for a while to see if the illness or problem returns, eventually most all people with these poisons end up disposing of the left over drugs. 

 

Too often, people throw these left-overs into their commodes to be flushed down the toilet drain.  Once in water, these pills dissolve; and of course, are passed back to the water supply to eventually be drunk by the public.  As is a well known fact of life, water treatment plants simply do not filter out all of the inorganic materials present in water.  Much of this stuff stays in the water to be later consumed by people. 

 

Anyway, scientists are discovering fish that have been poisoned or affected by pharmaceutical drugs.  For example, birth control pills are popular right now and many of the left-overs are tossed into the nation’s water supply. 

 

The residuals from these pills are affecting the reproduction capabilities of fish.  Of course, the poisons are both affecting and killing fish. 

 

 

The US Geological Survey 

 

A later news report on March 12, 2002, added that recent samplings of water by the US Geological Survey from a large number of rivers and streams in America (140 waterways in thirty states) now show the extensive presence of these medicines and drugs. 

 

The March 25, 2002, “Time” magazine (p. 59) presented the details of this US Geological Survey.  Some 95 chemicals were tracked.  Some 74% of the samples made showed insect repellents, 70% contained caffeine, 48% had antibiotics present, 40% produced reproductive hormones, 32% contained prescription drugs, and 27% had fragrances. 

 

The chemicals (generally poisons) are known to come from farms and factories, as well as toilets, sinks and medicine chests.  Environmentalists fear that even trace amounts of some pollutants might increase resistance to antibiotics, disrupt reproductive cycles or act as carcinogens.  Scientists concluded that they don’t know enough about the problem to predict what the dangers could be down the road. 

 

While many cities have sewage treatment plants that treat much of the human fecal matter and waste, the fact remains that most of the poisons are never removed from the water (as outlined above).  This water eventually returns to some human water supply (like rivers, streams, lakes, etc) to be drunk again and again by humans/humanoids. 

 

Some water supplies downstream on large rivers provide water that has already been urinated and used several times upstream by various users.  Here, one might note such popular cities as St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis, etc.  Their drinking water was once sewage and poisonous waste of other cities and towns up river. 

 

In any case, the dilemma over the drinking water is not just an isolated problem.  Instead, it is pandemic in scope and potential. 

 

So, if these poisons are present in some quantity and if they are persistent and leave a residual in the water to be eventually consumed by the public at large, what will be the impact of these residuals when they reach unsuspecting people who are foolish enough to drink the usual tap water found in society?  What will these poisons do to people when ingested? 

 

 

Antifreeze 

 

Please consider the case of deadly automobile antifreeze.  This stuff is a terrible poison.  Again, read the labels if the reader doubts it. 

 

The toxicity of antifreeze was illustrated in news reports in early July 2002 which said that a prankster in the Spokane, Washington area had fed some neighborhood cats tuna fish, laced with antifreeze.  The cats were killed and the cat owners were much upset and pushed for the boy to be prosecuted at law for a criminal act. 

 

Although some used antifreeze is now recycled, much of it in the public arena still runs off to the various septic tanks, sewage systems and water run-off actions to pollute the public’s water supplies. 

 

Even many city and state highway departments spray antifreeze on highways whenever there is a layer of ice on them.  Of course, this stuff runs off to pollute the public’s water sources.  But the brilliant people who sell and use this stuff will explain how it helps automobiles, trucks and other traffic move more safely on the streets and highways during bad weather. 

 

 

The Current Crisis 

 

How bad is the water problem?  The December 6, 1999, “US News & World Report” (p. 86) had a story by Amanda Spake on “With a splash of VOCs” which addressed the issue. 

 

Spake says that a report from the US Geological Survey, just released in 1999 (that was earlier and different from the March 2002 US Geological Survey sampling discussed above), found that 47% of urban wells contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are a class of toxic chemicals found in gasoline, paints and plastics and used in industry. 

 

In rural areas, some 14% of wells had the same findings.  The USGS estimated that some 42 million people are drinking these chemical poisons daily.  Even small amounts of these VOCs are considered important environmental contaminants because many are water soluble and persist in the environment. 

 

The EPA’s Assistant Administrator, J. Charles Fox, said that the health related problems are chronic and that over the life of a person, ingestion of them causes cancer, reproductive problems, developmental effects and so forth. 

 

The most detectable poison was chloroform, a carcinogen.  It is a byproduct of the disinfecting of water drawn from rivers and reservoirs for tap water (which means that people drinking city tap water must be getting some of it routinely).  However, the fact that it is found in wells means that it is seeping into ground water from lawn irrigation, leaking water mains and sewers. 

 

The next most common chemical found was MTBE, an additive put into gasoline.  It will be addressed in subsequent commentary herein. 

 

A distribution map of the chemical concentrations was published by USNWR with the story.  As could be expected, urban areas and particularly those East of the Mississippi have a much heavier presence of the problem. 

 

However, it was also interesting that some strange places like the Snake River valley in Southern Idaho also demonstrated some serious problems.  Why the significant presence along the Snake?  The answer is that this area is a farm producing zone which uses irrigation water.  Obviously, these irrigation waters are picking up pesticides and farm chemicals and seeping them into the ground water sources. 

 

 

More Chemical Poisons 

 

Of course, there are all kinds of chemical land fills, dumps and run offs where various waste chemical products end up.  Quite naturally, they pollute the underground water table and nearby streams and rivers.  This condition is often hid from the public.  But it is present in the real world of reality. 

 

People stupidly believe that by using chlorine poisons to kill the live bacteria in water that the water becomes clean and pure all of a sudden. 

 

This rank confusion and ignorance never addresses some of the other profound problems in modern drinking water--like the inorganic chemicals and poisons present which in small amounts do not immediately kill.  But over the years, they add up to eventually bring sickness and death. 

 

A good illustration of how easy it is to pollute the underground water table was covered in an Associated Press report from Grandview, WA on about Dec 5, 1998.  It seems that years ago a farm near Grandview was used to store farm chemicals, including deadly “Dinoseb,” an herbicide, which was eventually banned. 

 

Other than unloading these poisons, storing them and loading them out to buyers in supposedly sealed containers, there was no other exposures of these poisons at the site. 

 

Despite this alleged limited presence, the poisons nevertheless leaked from the containers or were otherwise spilled in transferring them to various containers.  They completely polluted the area’s nearby soil and underground water table. 

 

In this Grandview case, the poisons there were in containers and were not being used on farm crops and along road ways, as are the normal practices.  If the few minor leaks at the site were sufficient to poison the nearby land and the underground water table, is it not manifest that the actual spraying and using of these products could similarly cause an ecological disaster over time? 

 

In a follow-up case of the poisoning of the land, the Sep 14, 2002, “Spokane Spokesman-Review” (p. B4) had an AP story from Wenatchee, Washington on the recent discovery of high levels of lead and arsenic poisoning found at 15 school playgrounds in that area. 

 

The source of the contamination was not immediately identified, but a combination of lead and arsenic was once used in the area to control codling moths in the apple orchards. 

 

 

DOD

 

In early 2000, the US Defense Department (DOD) found that it had a large amount of excess or obsolete chemical warfare waste products to dispose of permanently.  The brilliant scientists conceived and DOD executed a plan to place (pour?) these highly poisonous chemical wastes into deep underground wells in the Denver, CO area. 

 

What will be the outcome of this insanity?  No one knows for sure.  But DOD officials were able to momentarily get rid of a lot of these poisonous chemicals which would have cost them a lot of money to otherwise dispose of. 

 

In June 2000, there was a number of mysterious small earthquakes and tremors in the Denver area.  So some geologists speculated that they may have been produced by the chemical dump into the deep water table. 

 

Perhaps soon, other Americans will drink some of these poisons as they travel in other directions from the dump sites (there are underground rivers which move water about).  This has been one of the problems from radioactive material in the underground test sites in Nevada.  The radiation can disperse into underground water. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 265--Pollution is Everywhere

 

 

Modern Poisons Abound 

 

The short of the preceding chapter is that the environment one lives in today is full of thousands of man-made, poisonous chemicals which are in the food eaten, water drunk, air breathed and so forth. 

 

The Feb 1, 2003, Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. A3) had a Knight Ridder story by Wendy Wendland-Bowyer on “Toxic chemicals found in Americans” which reported on a recent study on chemicals by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).  The study involved 2,500 Americans in the years 1999-2000. 

 

The CDC measured the presence of 116 chemicals in the blood and urine samples of the people in the study.  Nearly all of the 116 chemicals have been found to be toxic in animal studies, but little is known about their impact on so-called human beings. 

 

Humans/humanoids absorb the chemicals from such common things as phthalates (a softening substance added to many produces--including food), teething rings, shampoo, plastic bags, nail polish and vinyl tubing.  Phthalates have been found to cause reproductive problems in animals.  Lead poisoning in people remains a problem, but it was down from prior years. 

 

Inevitably, all of us ingest this stuff.  While much of it may not cause an immediate cancer and death, it does build up (accumulate) and will cause eventual death (as asbestos does some 40 years later after exposure)--if the person does not die sooner from something else. 

 

Surely, individuals with brain power above the moron and imbecile levels should be able to wake up and realize that if pesticide poisons kill bugs and insects and if rat poison kills rats and mice, rest assured that these very same chemical poisons will kill people if ingested (immediately, if the dose is big enough; or over time, if the dose is smaller but accumulating). 

 

Previous chapters and comments now made have outlined the enormous problems of chemicals impacting upon human health; and indeed, in causing cancer in modern people. 

 

But it is not only cancer which surfaces from ingesting chemical poisons.  There are all kinds of other diseases and health problems arising from the ingestion of such poisons. 

 

 

More on Plastics 

 

Since the introduction of plastics, following WWII, the modern society has been completely flooded with them (as noted above and elsewhere herein).  Almost all facets of modern living is influenced and affected in some manner by plastics. 

 

Perhaps the biggest tragedy about this phenomenal explosion in technology is that the production of plastics has occurred in a blind vacuum where the overall society has no concept at all about the health aspects of the various plastics in use.  While maybe some of them are harmless (“maybe?”), there has to be questions about the others. 

 

And from time to time, a report does surface either questioning or accusing some chemicals in plastics of causing health problems in humans or animals.  Perhaps one of the best illustrations of this occurred in an Apr 1, 2003, story in the Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. A2) entitled “Plastic linked to miscarriages, Down syndrome.” 

 

This report, from the “Los Angeles Times,” concerned a new study which showed that a chemical widely found in food packaging and other plastics may cause severe defects in embryos, and at levels people are commonly exposed to.  The concern was over bisphenol A (BPA) which is used in the manufacture of hard plastics.  BPA can leach from plastic baby bottles and cookware as they age. 

 

The study said that when a cell is exposed to BPA, “it looks like someone shot the chromosomes with a shotgun.”  They are totally disorganized.  It means a death sentence to developing embryos. 

 

 

Parkinson’s? 

 

The Dec 2000 “Internet Vortex” (p. 30) had an article on “Parkinson’s Linked to Pesticide” which zeroed in on the pesticide dilemma.  Many persons are aware that there has been an enormous explosion up in Parkinson’s disease in the last 60 years. 

 

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological ailment that is caused by the death of brain cells that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.  It results in tremors, muscle stiffness, impaired balance, shaking and possible eventual incapacity.  Per Vortex, it now affects one in one hundred people over age 65. 

 

But the modern tragedy about this disease is that so-called science has been unable to precisely define the cause of the disease.  However, Vortex quoted a recent Reuters report which suggested that it could be traceable to certain pesticides. 

 

The pesticide “rotenone” is a widely used product in gardening.  It has been found in laboratory experiments that injections of rotenone into rats give them symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.  Could there be a link?  Well, that question is still unanswered by modern “science.”  But this report could open the door to the possible role of other chemical poisons, beyond rotenone, in causing Parkinson’s. 

 

 

Laura Lee 

 

Moreover, take the case of chemical poisons (pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, etc), all of which poison the soil, sterilize and kill worms and friendly bacteria (which help plants to grow); and produce agricultural products (which are nutritionally inferior), and plants that are so sick that they attract all kinds of predator insects (as will be discussed below). 

 

Bugs and insects have always been a threat in the traditional sun worship farming culture and particularly in the modern mono-agriculture situations where vast fields are planted with one item (nature’s way is having several different items spread out in one field--Isa 28:23-27, per “J. B. Phillips Translation”).  It’s too bad that Christian sun worshippers never read or heed the Tanakh messages. 

 

Beyond these obvious problems surfacing in mono-agriculture practices, there is another more subtle and discreet feature which is largely unknown and unrecognized by the traditional, Christian, sun worship civilization. 

 

Strangely enough, plants, like so-called human beings, radiate a field of electromagnetic energy--plus other scents, smells and stimuli which are read and reacted to by bugs and insects (per a discussion by a guest on the Laura Lee radio talk show program of Aug 28, 1999).  If a plant is sick or weak, nature’s program is to have bugs attack it and destroy it. 

 

Although not elaborated upon by this agriculture expert on the Laura Lee program, it seems to also be true that the same reasoning applies to so-called human beings and their attractiveness or hostility to mosquitoes and other insect pests.  Various bugs have a job to do in nature. 

 

Some attack sick or weak humans and animals just as others attack sick and weak plants.  People who are subject to mosquito assaults, seemingly have health, diet or metabolism problems which are attracting the mosquitoes.  Truly, mosquitoes don’t seem to particularly bother healthy humans or animals. 

 

This same condition applies in the animal kingdom where certain wild animals prey upon, kill and eat other animals.  The first target of a predator animal (a lion, tiger, cougar, wolf or whatever) is a sick or weak animal that cannot get away or protect itself.  That’s the way nature works, whether we understand it or not. 

 

 

Healthy Soil is Needed 

 

Obviously, the key to having healthy plants and vegetation (which will not be susceptible to predator bugs and insects) is to have healthy soil that grows and produces healthy plants (which by the way are extremely nutritional, rich in vitamins and minerals, and good and tasty for human consumption). 

 

However, in the Christian, sun worship West, money, profits and greed have always been the order of the day.  Farmers are just not concerned about practicing organic gardening with its labor intensive feature to build up the soil with good, beneficial worms and soil bacteria (all of which contribute to healthy soil--worms, for example, irradiate the soil in order to help plants grow). 

 

Now that corporate farming has taken over American agriculture, one can be sure that a large corporation (essentially owned and controlled by fat cat, Amalekite bankers on Wall Street) are manifestly unconcerned about healthy plants, soil or people.  They have their hearts and minds set upon one thing and one thing only--profits, to satisfy their inordinate greed, get and acquire. 

 

The surfacing of chemical poisons after WWII (in the form of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers) was exactly what greedy producers needed in order to deal with the labor intensive and expensive features of organic gardening. 

 

Because federal laws have produced a welfare state (where people won’t work and the minimum wage and other taxes are all so high), it is not very profitable to try to hire workers; when alternatively, a producer can buy a pesticide poison for pennies on the dollar, as compared with hiring workers. 

 

These corporate producers could care less about the land and the question of sin (which will be addressed in later chapters).  All they want are profits right now.  And since the gullible, sun worshipping public has been willing to buy and eat poisoned and nutritionally deficient vegetables and hormone injected meats, who cares. 

 

 

Pesticide Poisons Are Persistent 

 

Incidentally, the use of pesticide poisons acts to damage or destroy the soil--at least, for many years, before intensive soil rebuilding campaigns can take hold to rejuvenate the damaged soil.  The Oct 30, 2000, “Spotlight” (p. B-15) had an article on “Banned Pesticide Showing Up in U.S. Vegetables” which illustrated the problem. 

 

This “Spotlight” story focused upon the insecticide chlordane, a carcinogen (which was banned by the EPA in 1988).  In 2000 (and probably in 2001-2003 as well), vegetables grown in the US were still being sold in food markets with this banned pesticide (per a then study made by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station). 

 

The dilemma is that residues of the pesticide are still in the soil (where they once were used) and they are still being absorbed by growing plants. 

 

What this means is that even when one buys so-called organic vegetables and fruits, he might be buying products which contain pesticide poisons once used in former years on the soil.  There simply is no easy way of getting rid of the soil contamination.  It will persist for years! 

 

 

Chemicals Are Bad 

 

“Spotlight” (p. B16) had a perceptive article on “Chemical Avalanche Affecting Behavior” by Don Harkins in its Oct 25, 1999, issue.  Harkins reported upon the work of Dr Zane Gard and others who have amassed evidence that the growing presence in crime, violence, child abuse, social and psychic problems, etc are being exacerbated by man-made poisons which are accumulating in our bodies. 

 

Specifically, the scientists suggest that the evidence is that our present sociological miseries are the result of a populace which has been rendered toxic from its exposure to thousands of chemicals.  As Harkins notes--the last four American generations have willingly accepted the idea of “Better Living Through Chemicals.” 

 

Harkins also quoted Dr James P. Carter, who said that there has been a ten fold increase in the use of pesticides on farmland in the last 30 years.  Yet, the average annual crop losses have remained constant and the specific losses to insects have actually doubled.  In other words, the pesticides have provided no help, but only hurt (although they are a lot cheaper than labor intensive organic gardening--ed). 

 

In 1981, there were 70,000 chemicals in production; 3,000 were being intentionally added to our food while 700 were to be found in municipal water supplies.  Food and food storage processing units were using 10,000 other chemical compounds which could lessen the nutritional value of the food.  Gard wrote that the result has been a chemical avalanche in a very short period of time. 

 

Gard concluded that everyone (each person) has a specific level of tolerance to these chemicals which must not be exceeded in order to maintain health. 

 

As a sidelight, Gard lived in Sturgeon, Missouri in 1980 when the town was exposed to a spill of the deadly pesticide Dioxin from two tankers.  Dioxin, made by Monsanto, is extremely poisonous and cancer causing.  Some outright deaths and much sickness (tumors, cancers, psychological disorders and other serious problems) have been attributed to the Sturgeon spill. 

 

 

Rockefeller Profits! 

 

Back in the 19th century, old John D. Rockefeller discovered the huge profits and gains to be made from petroleum.  Early on, he produced and sold oil products as salves (the early Vaselines and petroleum jellies) and medicines for internal consumption. 

 

Surely, many of the traveling medicine shows and con artists were handling Rockefeller’s poisons. 

 

How many people drank or consumed some of this Rockefeller stuff to cause eventual sickness and/or cancer?  But money (profits) is the name of the game and Rocky was out to make money and not for the obedience of YAH’s laws.  He could have cared less who all might die from his profit making schemes. 

 

One must remember that in any assessment of pollution and environmental degradation, profits and the making of money are typically behind the efforts.  In the Western Christian culture and civilization, the making of profits and gain completely dominates all aspects of human undertakings. 

 

 

The Petro-Chemical Poisons 

 

The petroleum and chemical industries (as promoted by the Rockefellers) have combined in the 20th century to produce a vast array of very poisonous chemicals (especially the pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer poisons) which kill and destroy all kinds of life forms and indeed the planet itself. 

 

The problem with petroleum poisons is far more involved than anyone could have imagined a hundred years ago as the automotive and petroleum industries began developing.  “Spotlight” of Apr 12, 1999, had a report on “Toxic Chemicals in Drinking Water” which offered some recent findings which are quite terrifying. 

 

“Spotlight” noted that the gasoline industry started using the poisonous methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE, mentioned in the prior chapter) in the 1980s as an additive to gasoline to supposedly improve the quality of the emissions into the air.  MTBE is a deadly toxic carcinogen. 

 

So the years passed.  Then, a startling discovery was made.  Cancer causing MTBE was polluting America’s drinking water across the nation. 

 

Leakage of the chemical reportedly hit crisis levels in California, contaminating over 10,000 water sites--including wells, underground reservoirs, lakes and streams.  All 50 states now have MTBE water problems (with a crisis level in 22 states).  Clearly, the poison became a part of America’s drinking water. 

 

Thus, after using MTBE for 20 years in a state of ignorance, the government ordered it withdrawn on March 20, 2000. 

 

So while the industry and her government regulators came up with this MTBE poison (evidently, from the Rockefeller controlled petrochemical industry) to ostensibly decrease air pollution, water pollution was the result.  Which is more dangerous--breathing the poisoned air or drinking the poisoned water? 

 

In any case, many Americans were poisoned and will die from it, simply because man does things in ignorance.  Man likes to jump in and do things--without having the foggiest notion of what his actions will have later upon life and the environment. 

 

 

The Agra-Chemical Business 

 

The petro-chemical agriculture business phenomenon developed since WWII all over the world.  Most farmers are hooked on it (and especially the giant multi-national corporations which own the bulk of the land and produce most of the agriculture products). 

 

People are regularly told that these poisons are necessary in order to produce food.  Actually, before WWII, almost all farming was organic which can be and is done in limited ways even today. 

 

But as in the noted above presentations, organic farming is labor intensive.  In the US, the government has passed so many tax, minimum wage and welfare schemes that it is extremely difficult to obtain and pay for workers (plus the fact that Americans generally won’t do any hard work at all, as elsewhere described herein). 

 

Yet, chemical poisons are readily available at substantially lower costs which produce poisoned and nutritionally inferior products, but products which the ignorant, sun worship public will buy and pay for.  And money (profits) is the name of the game in the historic sun worship culture. 

 

 

Danger 

 

There was a day (for most all of the 5,950 years before WWII) when working in a garden or on a farm was an honorable, good undertaking.  A person would get exercise and clean air and stood to serve himself and/or others (by producing organic food products). 

 

But those days have changed dramatically since WWII.  Now, working with farm products can be one of the most dangerous of occupations. 

 

Even grocery stores and food markets which carry and sell agricultural plant foods are now aware of the risks for workers who must handle or work with farm products (which are routinely sold to the gullible, ignorant public).  These products are reeking with poisons.  Hence, smart food stores require that their workers use rubber gloves, rubber aprons and sometimes even half or full face masks to protect breathing, the eyes, etc. 

 

Today, it is a very dangerous undertaking to handle, work with or sometimes to even be in contact with quantities of agricultural products--which once were totally and completely safe from all aspects.  But no longer!  The modern boom in chemistry and the petro-chemical industry has made food very dangerous to handle or be in contact with.  Yet, the public buys it and eats it. 

 

This handling aspect of poisons brings up another fallout on this problem over pesticides.  Of the different agricultural products, pesticides are extremely common in growing cotton.  Almost all cotton is grown today with pesticide poisons to fight pests (in the old days, cotton plantations used Negro slaves and field hands to grow organic cotton, but all of this has changed). 

 

Since it is a proven fact that plants absorb the poisons into plant fiber, stems, seeds, etc, one must stop and wonder about the propriety of using these chemical poisons on cotton which will be grown to provide cloth for humans/humanoids. 

 

When so-called human beings wear the poisoned cotton cloth, is there any possibility that the previously used pesticides has contaminated the cotton in any way?  Will it affect the people who come into contact with it?  Will these cotton cloth items exert any adverse influence on the innocent humans who touch this stuff in any manner?  This writer is unsure of the answers here.  But the questions should be asked. 

 

 

By Products 

 

Beyond the chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides dispensed over American farm lands and crops, another interesting thing has happened in the last several years.  It seems that some big American corporations have come up with some byproducts or waste products from their manufacturing processes. 

 

Their desire for profit and gain has prompted them to look for buyers.  The solution they chose was to sell them to farmers as fertilizers.  Now, vast quantities of toxic heavy metals and low level uranium waste products are being spread out across portions of America’s farm lands (“The Omega Times,” fall 1997, p. 11). 

 

The Jan 28, 2002, “American Free Press” (p. 22) assessed the problem in a story by John Tiffany on “Startling New Book Reveals Toxic Waste in Our Foods.”  Per Tiffany, many of the so-called fertilizers now being used contain various poisons--like arsenic, cadmium, lead and beryllium.  These are industrial byproducts so toxic that it is illegal to dump them into the air or water. 

 

But in the profit world of big business, they are not about to lose a chance to make some bucks.  These poisons are simply sold to farmers and the corporate agricultural world for use on our friendly potatoes and carrots.  Some of the poisons, like cadmium, are not poisonous to plants, but will harm animals and humans.  Of course, the plants absorb many of these poisons from the soil. 

 

Tragically, however, some or many of these applications render the soil sterile.  Sometimes, the destruction process does not happen all at once.  But over time, these toxic wastes destroy the soil.  Washington state television reports have periodically mentioned the plight of farmers, who ignorantly used these items to destroy their productive good farms. 

 

Actually, the 20th and early 21st centuries have seen several modern industries develop which have spelled absolute disaster to the human environment and have caused much of the degenerative diseases (like cancer) that adversely affect millions of people--such as the chemical, petroleum, nuclear, automotive and food industries. 

 

In particular, chemicals used on the land eventually end up in the public’s food and water supplies.  But no one seems to exhibit much care.  So they continue to be used. 

 

 

Rachel Carson 

 

In 1962, Rachel Carson published “Silent Spring,” her famous book on pesticide poisonings and what was happening to America since these poisons were introduced in American agriculture in the post WWII environment. 

 

She noted that whereas it had historically been desirable and interesting to put bird seeds out in the spring to feed the many, beautiful, American birds that had inhabited the North American continent for ages; all of this was to change one strange, odd, different spring.  As Rachel wrote it, one spring there were no birds.  Where had the birds gone? 

 

The essence of her analysis was that man had killed all of the birds off with his irresponsible, careless, stupid and indiscriminate use of pesticide poisons to supposedly get rid of insects; so that food could be cheaply produced without facing the high cost of labor intensive organic gardening. 

 

Frankly, it is extremely easy to observe and attest to what Rachel Carson had in mind.  This writer was born before WWII and was a boy living on a farm in 1940 and 1941, preceding the outbreak of the war.  School was two miles away and it was necessary to walk those two miles twice a day. 

 

In those days, in rural Oklahoma, the skies had all kinds of marvelous birds.  But times were to change.  It started slowly with the end of the war and has continued ever since then--only getting worse and worse over time. 

 

Slowly and methodically, the birds started vanishing--other than a few sparrows which have been a little more resilient to man’s poisons.  But over the years, even the sparrows may be in trouble.  The July 19, 2002, “The Week” (p. 6) had a news report from London that the once common house sparrow has disappeared from British cities and no one knows why.  The sparrow population is down by 99% since 1980. 

 

Where have the birds been going?  The answer--man has been systematically, regularly and routinely killing them off since WWII.  With the loss of the birds, man loses one of the best methods of controlling bugs and insects.  Man then turns to more and more pesticide poisons. 

 

 

Recent Times 

 

While a massive slaughtering of birds is not usually seen and reported upon (since there often seems to be so few of them around any more), there was one terrible event in Oct 1999 when someone left some pesticide laced corn out in a field apparently in Central Illinois.  A large number of a particular breed of blackbirds (which was on the endangered species’ list) were to eat some of it over a period of days. 

 

The result was a massive wipe out of 27,000 of them.  This huge number of birds would appear to be a rarity.  But they apparently had accumulated in the area from all over the country.  News reports suggested that someone had deliberately left the poisoned corn out, specifically to kill the birds. 

 

A similar later event took place in Jan 2003 near the town of White, GA when someone left some pesticide laced corn out for birds in a rural area.  Up to 2,000 birds--hawks, doves, ducks, geese, etc--were slaughtered.  The insecticide was reportedly a product called Warbex (Jan 25, Spokane “Spokesman-Review,” p. A5).  The final idea on this is that if these pesticides will kill birds, they will kill humans. 

 

Beyond the slaughter of birds and wildlife from pesticides and other poisons, there is another facet of this question which must be mentioned here.  “The Week” magazine of Nov 30, 2001-Dec 7, 2001 (p. 18), had a short news report on “Migratory birds may become casualties.”  The focus of this report was on the Bush war on terrorism in Afghanistan. 

 

Per the story, more than 200 species of migratory birds--including the pelican, Arctic tern, Siberian crane, and shoveller duck--use Afghanistan as a rest stop on their 4,000-mile journeys from Russia and Central Asian countries to warm, wet India.  One of the fallouts of the attack on Afghanistan has been the massive remains of chemical by-products from the bombs dropped. 

 

The Afghan wetlands have become heavily polluted from the remains of these chemical poisons.  Abra Abmed, senior program officer at the World Wide Fund for Nature India, says that the “chemical contents in the bombs could enter the food chain.”  These chemicals may affect the birds’ breeding cycles and get stored in their fat, making them incapable of migration. 

 

Abmed noted that pesticides, in the past, have caused a thinning of egg shells and a decline in bird population.  “If one chemical could have such an impact,” per Abmed, “so many chemicals can certainly pose a problem.”  

 

 

The Present Crisis 

 

Today, when present in rural areas, birds are a comparatively rare sight.  A person may see one occasionally.  But that’s generally about it--one now and then and no real presence, as there once was before WWII.  This writer has visited various parks, national forests and wilderness areas and it’s not much better. 

 

Slowly, the birds are disappearing just as the fish are disappearing (other than some presence of cat fish scavengers).  The difference seems to be that men like to catch fish.  So the government maintains pollution free fish hatcheries to grow small game fish to be released into the US waterways.  By producing and releasing these fish by the thousands, the waterways still have some fish. 

 

The point of this dilemma is that pesticide and herbicide poisons are slowly bringing havoc and destruction to wildlife which used to be found profusely all over the North American continent. 

 

No wonder so many informed people are expressing concern over what is happening in the great rain forests of South America, Africa and Asia.  We are killing everything possible all over the globe.  Daily, species are becoming extinct in significant numbers.  No one does anything about the loss--beyond just talking about it! 

 

 

The Death in Long Island Sound? 

 

Former comments discussed the situation in the New York City area where there was an outbreak of the deadly West Nile, encephalitis virus in the late summer of 1999.  Once established (perhaps brought into the area from Africa, where it is now found, or from Litton Industries, as was discussed in a preceding chapter), the virus was picked up and spread by birds and mosquitoes. 

 

As discussed earlier, there has been some particular concern that with warm weather, the disease could head South and West to produce a real epidemic.  This possibility came true in 2000 and later as it did spread across America. 

 

The NY crisis prompted a massive poisonous spraying effort in the fall of 1999 to try to kill off the mosquitoes and contain the disease (as noted earlier).  But this massive spraying effort seems to have produced some unplanned reactions in the context of life in the Long Island Sound area of the Atlantic Ocean. 

 

Following the spraying in 1999, there was a massive kill of fish (over 100,000 dead fish turned up), lobsters (perhaps 1,000,000), sea urchins, crabs and other forms of water life (discussed on the “Art Bell Dreamland” program of Jan 23, 2000).  Most informed people readily connected the spraying to the slaughter of water life in the Sound area (due to the poisoned water run-off). 

 

Naturally, the public officials in NY, who authorized the spraying, saw no connections between the poisonous sprays and the death in the Atlantic.  They refused to accept the link and continued to outline their plans to resume spraying once warm weather arrived in the spring of 2000. 

 

It seems that man can never put two and two together in the sense of a cause and effect relationship. 

 

Since the West Nile virus surfaced again in the summers of 2000-2003, the supposedly intelligent leaders in NY began more spraying campaigns in those years to fight the mosquitoes.  Who knows what will happen in this effort in the future. 

 

True, the poisons may kill a few mosquitoes, but surviving mosquitoes will develop an immunity to the poisons and there will be another crisis in the waters. 

 

 

The Railroads 

 

The railroads are another good illustration of how stupid, irresponsible man has been over using chemical poisons.  Before the modern chemical and petro-chemical industries began proliferating their products throughout society in the 20th century, the railroads used to have to hire people to clear the brush, weeds and vegetation along the right-of-ways near their tracks. 

 

But with the exploding chemical usage in the post WWII environment, the railroads substituted poisonous herbicides for human labor.  They began spraying the poisons along the railroad right-of-ways which solved the vegetation problem and made for more profits. 

 

Many years ago (pre-WWII), people used to be able to walk along a railroad (when going from place to place) with little concern for safety beyond watching out for coming trains.  People had better not do that today! 

 

Does anyone actually believe that the railroad owners and managers give any consideration at all to the use of these poisons and the fact that they will not only kill, poison and injure persons and animals which came into contact with them, but that they will run off with rainwater to pollute rivers, streams and the underground water table?  Of course not! 

 

The railroad decision is made on the basis of profits.  And since the railroads are owned and/or controlled by the super rich fat cats in the collective society (as will be discussed in a future chapter), there is never any interference from the government, churches, preachers, doctors, lawyers, etc. 

 

The sun worship culture and society have never questioned human greed or the chemical and petro-chemical businesses. 

 

Beyond spraying herbicides (like the poisonous agent orange) along the railroad right-of-ways, it should be noted that years ago the railroads discovered that they could also treat their tracks with various chemical preservatives and poisons to repel insects, weeds and on and on which could damage the tracts. 

 

When the railroad closes a line, they sell these poisonous tracks to unsuspecting people to handle and be in contact with for use as fence posts, etc. 

 

 

The Christian Impact 

 

The Christian sun worship public could have always said no on any or all of these poisons.  But it hasn’t worked out that way.  By all means, Christian sun worship preachers could have and should have been preaching some sermons and telling their dumb sheep some of the facts of life.  But they haven’t. 

 

Christian sun worship preachers could have quoted any number of Tanakh texts to benefit their people, but they haven’t (because they are NT Christians and largely don’t know and/or don’t understand the OT). 

 

As outlined in a former chapter, it is sin to sell or eat poisoned food (many Christians don’t understand this fact, but it is the truth).  A future chapter will assess this question in some detail. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 266--Polluted Carpets

 

 

Carpeting

 

In early 1997 (perhaps around Adar of the closing year), newscasts reported that recent studies had shown that some portion of carpets (apparently less than 50%) being sold in America were treated with chemical poisons for various and sundry reasons. 

 

The surfacing reports noted that the chemicals used were deadly and could cause significant health problems to humans (particularly babies) in contact with the fibers, especially if breathed. 

 

The problem gained some notoriety because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Washington, DC had just spent a gob of federal money moving into a plush, new, office facility.  Its new quarters were furnished with thousands of dollars worth of these poisoned carpets. 

 

Of course, this made news when the EPA decided to rip up this carpeting and replace it with some that had not been treated.  Quite naturally, this whole episode was quickly forgotten within days by the gullible American public and the whole issue became history. 

 

After the initial outcries, the environmentalists and health advocates (alternative types since the AMA and approved medical profession never take a stand on anything that would oppose the status quo) were the only ones remembering the incident. 

 

So the carpet manufacturers continued with whatever they were doing before the outburst (that is--continuing to put the poisons in many of the carpets).  Were sales hurt?  Not really.  It was a temporary blowup of a day or two and everything soon returned to normal (after all, the public has a very limited memory span).  Well, all of this is bad enough.  But there is still more to come. 

 

 

More Carpeting Problems 

 

A few months later (actually during the month of Siwan 1997), another interesting news report surfaced also addressing carpets.  It seems that some environmentalists and alternative health care specialists (again, minus the AMA and the approved medical profession) did some studies and discovered that the use of carpeting within homes and offices was a questionable procedure for another most interesting reason. 

 

Manifestly, carpeting, in general, tends to collect a lot of dirt and dust.  Even the best of cleaning methods fall short of really restoring any carpeting to its original cleanliness.  So, once used, carpeting has picked up all kinds of things, including bacteria and germs (brought in by the dirt and dust in the air) that quickly find a home in it and start multiplying. 

 

While it is probable that the chemically poisoned carpets are not as susceptible to these unfriendly bacteria, as are the untreated ones, the initial studies and reports made no distinction between the two kinds.  Once the bacteria becomes entrenched, it seems to be there to stay.  So, what is the problem with this bacteria in the carpeting? 

 

Well, as the days pass, the dust and fibers in the carpeting inevitably work lose (from cleaning, walking upon or otherwise) and get into the air to be breathed by so-called human beings. 

 

And too often, these bacteria and germs are of the unfriendly kind.  They cause respiratory and breathing problems to humans/humanoids.  Like asbestos fibers, many years may pass before the problems surface.  But the seeds have been sown for eventual trouble. 

 

 

Pets 

 

A pet talk show on radio during Teveth 1997 mentioned another unique twist to this problem.  It seems that much of the sun worship culture likes to have unclean pet cats and dogs in their houses (as discussed in a prior chapter).  These animals inevitably urinate, have bowel movements or merely wipe their bottoms on carpeting (which babies will later crawl upon). 

 

The radio talk show mentioned that cats would urinate on the carpet, in preference to using a litter box.  If a sun worshipper’s carpet gets a dose of this stuff, along with the usual dirt, fibers and bacteria, it is quite evident that disease and sickness will be spread even more.  Of course, people living by the Scriptures would never have unclean animals even in their houses. 

 

 

Why Have Carpeting? 

 

Is there a solution otherwise?  Yes, why have carpeting in the first place?  Admittedly, such things are well accepted in the Western, sun worship culture.  But there certainly is no mention of them Scripturally, suggesting that they should be used.  Quite naturally, the makers and sellers of this stuff do it to make money and could care less about any adverse health effects to so-called human beings. 

 

As far as consumers are concerned, their primary focus is on a product which supposedly makes their lives better and more enjoyable.  True, carpeting is much more fun to walk on than open exposed floors. 

 

Consequently, these reports of eventual respiratory problems largely fall on deaf ears.  Almost no one cares.  Money (profits), pleasure, and enjoyment are the names of the games in the Western, Christian, sun worship culture. 

 

What a tragedy it is that the Christian sun worship churches, preachers, teachers, scientists, doctors, lawyers, politicians and on and on are so incredibly devoted to greed, get, acquire, etc.  Why can’t they take a stand on important issues sometimes which are based on truth and justice? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 267--More Pollution Examples I

 

 

El Salvador 

 

A terrible earthquake struck El Salvador in January 2001.  Thousands of persons were killed--not so much from the earthquake, but from mud slides which poured down some of the mountains to completely bury some villages. 

 

The real background on this crisis was not so much the earthquake; but rather, man’s total disregard of nature and the environment over the years preceding the earthquake.  In the vein of progress and development, the big timber and lumber companies years ago came in and cut the trees off of the mountains (after all, profits, gain, get and acquire were the names of the game). 

 

EL Salvador is like other areas in Central America with heavy rains in the fall and winter--which caused the bare, stripped mountains to be water soaked.  Without trees, it would not take much to really produce a problem.  Thus, the January 2001 earthquake provided the trigger to cause enormous mud slides that completely buried homes, people and villages in the nearby valleys. 

 

A BBC news report on Jan 28, 2001, noted that the owners and profiteers of the big lumber companies have indicated how anxious they were to rebuild the destroyed houses in the mud covered valleys. 

 

Yes, they made huge profits earlier by cutting the trees down from the mountains and now they will sell some of that timber (or other lumber cut from other mountains and areas) to the people (who have the money to pay for the building materials) or the government (in the form of welfare benefits which the taxpayers or international aid groups will pay for) to rebuild the houses. 

 

This whole debacle seems incredible to even contemplate.  But it seems to be the real world.  Man stupidly goes in and destroys the ecology of an area (on the premise of profits and gain).  Then a giant crisis strikes (as caused, in part, by the men who exploited the environment).  The people who profiteered from the mess they caused come back to profit some more from the crisis (which they largely caused). 

 

 

The Rat and Mouse Problem 

 

Also, the year 2001 was the year of the snake in China.  The Chinese people responded by trying to catch and eat as many snakes as was possible in China (per a BBC report).  Snakes seem to be a common specie used in the diet of Chinese.  So the year of the snake was a genuine motivation for Chinese to eat snakes (along with their traditional dog, hog, duck and rice diets which they have long consumed). 

 

In some areas of China, the Chinese people have pursued, captured, killed and eaten so many of the wild snakes that they have virtually destroyed their presence.  At least, one agricultural province now has an unprecedented catastrophe on its hands since the wild snake population has been decimated. 

 

The just cited BBC report on Jan 28, 2001, added that the destruction of the snake population in this province has caused an absolute explosion in the rat and mouse populations; which, in turn, are feasting on the grain fields and destroying the crops.  Apparently, the Chinese leaders have not figured out what to do about the crisis. 

 

In fact, is it conceivable that any of them will sit down and take at look at what caused the mess in the first place?  The basic cause is just not that complicated.  Nature has a certain balance.  The CREATOR made both rodents and snakes for a purpose.  But He made them in a precise balance to achieve that purpose.  When man stupidly upsets that balance, a crisis will inevitably result. 

 

 

A Classic Illustration 

 

World War II and its after effects opened up much of Asia and the Pacific Islands to the West in ways never conceived of before the war. 

 

In particular, the fat cats owning and controlling many of the large petro-chemical corporations (like the Rockefellers, DuPonts and others) decided  that they wanted to introduce chemical pesticides and more new poisons not only in the West, but also to export them all over the world (for obvious profit purposes). 

 

So--many liberals, do-gooders, scientists and government officials (who were quite willing to consciously or unconsciously support the fat cats in their profit goals) visited a number of Pacific Islands where the inhabitants had lived essentially in grass skirts and grass huts for at least one or two thousand years (with little concern about pollution and the environment since everything was ecologically balanced in their primitive situations). 

 

Some of these visitors came to a small island in the Dutch East Indies which had a beautiful little cove providing excellent fishing grounds to feed the local indigenous population.  The primitive peoples had lived there in harmony and happiness with their environment for centuries, never understanding that things could be or should be different. 

 

Discovering some mosquitoes on the island (and which had been there naturally for the last several thousand years), the liberal humanitarians decided that the solution was to massively spray the cove and other fresh water sources with the latest pesticides to get rid of the mosquitoes. 

 

Of course, there was also the benefit of selling pesticides to these grass skirted natives so that “international” trade and commerce could be advanced.  The natives could get into the game by exporting and selling some copra and fruits and vegetables to the big population centers needing food.  This trade off put all kinds of new profits into the pockets of the super rich internationalists. 

 

 

Man’s IQ 

 

Thus, with this great human ingenuity and intelligence, DDT and other poisons were spread around to supposedly improve the lives of the island’s inhabitants in the Dutch East Indies (under discussion).  Initially, the spraying seemed to pay off with the death and sickness of much of the mosquito population. 

 

Quite naturally, fish ate the sick and dying mosquitoes which had been their primary diet for the last 6,000 years.  But the toxic poisons consumed by the fish were not sufficient to immediately kill all of them. 

 

It just made many of them sick, although they would have ultimately died by continuing to eat the poisoned mosquitoes.  However, the initial consumption did make the fish quite toxic, though they had not yet all died. 

 

The problem was compounded because there was a hawk-like predator bird which flew around preying on the fish for food.  When these birds ate the sick fish, they were poisoned at once with a deadly dose. 

 

The predator birds were quickly wiped out.  This was too bad for the ecology of the island since these birds also preyed on the local rodent population--actually keeping their growth restrained.  With the death of the birds, the rat and mice population exploded.  Soon the island was over-run by rodents as there was no longer a predator to naturally keep them in check. 

 

Meantime, some of the mosquitoes survived in the cove and other fresh water locations.  But the mosquito survivors had underwent a mutation of sorts which made them immune to the pesticides being used.  The now immune, surviving mosquitoes began increasing rapidly with the loss of the fish from the pollution of the cove. 

 

Consequently, things went from bad to worse for the people living on the island.  They still had the mosquitoes, plus a rodent explosion.  Environmental pollution destroyed their previously satisfactory and sustaining lives.  This is a true story which received some media coverage years ago just after the event took place. 

 

 

The Latest 

 

By the way, the latest man-made scheme to fight mosquitoes in 2002 was to invent some genetically engineered mosquitoes that would theoretically be useful in the fight against malaria (Jun 3, 2002, U. S. News & World Report,” p. 61).  Possibly, the plan is to genetically change the mosquito in some manner to not allow it to follow its normal methodology of existing. 

 

As discussed in earlier chapters broaching this question of genetically altered life forms, the whole subject is too stupid to be discussed.  Yet, it is on the drawing boards and could become reality in seven to ten years.  For sure, man will end up upsetting nature in some manner and causing enormous unforeseen problems and crises. 

 

 

Another Sample of Man’s IQ 

 

Back in the 1970s, “US News & World Report” quoted a report by Dr Lamont C. Cole of Cornell University.  It seems that the World Health Organization sent DDT to Borneo to kill mosquitoes.  But it wouldn’t kill area roaches (which accumulated DDT in their bodies).  Lizards living in the nearby huts fed on the roaches and became sick and slowed from the poisons.  Cats then could easily catch and eat the slowed lizards. 

 

The cats died from the huge dose of poisons that they were consuming from the lizards.  With the cats gone, the rats proliferated and the threat of a plague developed.  With the lizards gone, caterpillars multiplied in the huts, where they fed on the roof thatching.  Then the roofs started caving in, creating real problems for the innocent people duped into this whole stupid exercise. 

 

In addition to the sale of chemical pesticides for “alleged” mosquito control, the petro-chemical producers (DuPont, Dow, Monsanto, etc) decided to get the people of islands all over the Pacific to use pesticides to protect their few banana and other fruit plants--which many of them grew in their yards for food consumption.  Of course, this initially looked like a good thing--to be getting rid of the few troubling bugs. 

 

Since the islands’ inhabitants had lived on these lands for a thousand years or so, they had learned how to deal with the banana bugs and survive.  Their ancestors had been raising bananas, papaya, breadfruit, etc (organically) without any particular problems.  Yet, the modern peoples succumbed to the advertising blitz of the chemical companies. 

 

However, in the flagrant uses of these chemical pesticides, the rivers, streams, springs, lakes, etc (containing fresh drinking water) were quickly poisoned.  People had been drinking from these sources historically without any health or adverse problems at all. 

 

Now, with chemical poisons abounding, pure drinking water was no longer naturally available.  This was no big deal--because modern technology and multi-national corporations were available to sell the islanders well drilling equipment and modern plumbing technology (with chlorine poison) to drill into the island masses and find fresh water. 

 

 

The Sewage Problem 

 

Whereas the grass skirted people historically had to obey the Scriptures in terms of human elimination (to be discussed at length in later sections), they all of a sudden had indoor plumbing with all of its conveniences.  But indoor plumbing requires a sewage system. 

 

Sewage systems and particularly those that “treat” the wastes cost money.  And most of these islanders were and are in no mood to spend money on non-essentials.  A sewage treatment system is an item that most of them can do without. 

 

So, how do they dispose of this untreated sewage?  Yes, they dump it into the ocean.  Thousands of people all over the Pacific in Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia have been dumping raw sewage with its teeming bacteria into the ocean for years now since WWII.  This writer has been on many of these islands and has seen this practice. 

 

Of course, these sewage dumps are a threat to human health.  So signs are put up around the outlets warning people not to eat any fish caught there or swim there.  Tragically, this raw sewage kills most fish and the coral reefs in time. 

 

But all fish do not immediately die.  Many may be caught before they die.  Too, some of them may swim off into cleaner waters and be caught later, causing additional problems when consumed. 

 

 

Coral Reefs 

 

The problem with coral reefs is severe all over the world.  The March 11, 2002, “Jerusalem Report” (p. 24) had a story by Netty C. Gross on “The Killing of the Coral” about the Eilat area of the Red Sea in South Asia.  In this historic area, only some 30% of the coral is still left alive.  The rest is dead. 

 

Gross outlined the problems as--Global warming; an old Dead Sea Works phosphates packing plant, located on the Gulf, churns out chemical dust that settles on the reefs; the dumping of raw sewage into the Gulf by the City of Eilat until recently; and many threats from the tourism industry--like the fuel and waste products dumped into the Sea by boats moored at Eilat; the massive, high-rise hotels on the shoreline block desert winds essential to the ecosystem; glass-bottomed tour boats traveling too close to the reefs damage them; and so forth.  

 

A 1999 University of GA study noted that 10% of the world’s corals are now gone and 20-30% are at risk.  A news report on Dec 11, 2000, mentioned a more recent 2000 study which said that 27% of the world’s coral reefs are now destroyed.  Obviously, the losses are accelerating (couple this with the disappearance of frogs and the future looks bad). 

 

Along the Florida coasts, there has been a 446% increase in disease at 160 coral sites since 1996 (Mar 1999 “America’s Promise Newsletter,” p. 8).  One reef had a 62% death rate.  The whole Florida Keys is now a dead zone. 

 

 

Septic Tanks 

 

The FL problem is primarily from septic tanks which are breeding pathogens (viruses, bacteria and fungi), new to science.  Within 24 hours of flushing a toilet into a septic tank in Florida, the human created pathogens reach the ocean.  One recent study said that 25% of the people using marine beaches in Florida developed ear infections, sore throats and eyes, and respiratory or gastrointestinal disease. 

 

More serious viruses detected in coastal waters are linked to diabetes, meningitis and hepatitis (Mar 1999 “America’s Promise Newsletter,” p. 8).  Obviously, if septic tank wastes in Florida reach underground water flows to move on to the ocean, is it not evident that septic tanks present a problem wherever they are located? 

 

All over the world (especially North America), there are any number of beautiful lakes and streams.  It is very common to find houses adjacent to these bodies of water.  In urban areas, the normal urban pollution flows to these lakes and streams.  In rural areas, most people are now using septic tanks. 

 

Assuredly, the discharges from these septic tanks eventually reach the underground water table or run off to the nearby lakes and streams.  In either case, the people flushing the poisons and waste products into their toilets, eventually end up drinking the water containing those poisons (even after using chlorine poisons to kill the sewage bacteria).  Obviously, this whole exercise is totally stupid! 

 

 

More From Florida 

 

A few years ago, there was a massive red tide which inundated parts of the Florida coast.  Later, in early 2002, a black blob hit much of the waters off of the Florida Bay (North of the Keys and up the coast).  In February 2002, the blob covered some 700 square miles (Apr 12, 2002, “The Week,” p. 18).  No one knows for sure what it is and what it is doing to the area. 

 

There is a theory that it is some kind of a plankton that is absorbing oxygen from the water.  Marine life that can swim away have left the area.  Presumably, other forms of marine life will be killed by the mass.  Whether this current problem is related to the septic tank discharges or something else was not clear. 

 

 

Garbage and Medical Wastes 

 

A news report on Sep 16, 1999, noted that the beautiful beach at Huntington Beach, California was closed because some 1,500 (used) medical syringes/needles washed ashore.  Actually, it seems common place that many hospitals and medical facilities dump their medical waste products into the great oceans. 

 

Just a few years ago, beaches in New Jersey had a significant outbreak of medical wastes (needles, syringes, gauze, swabs, etc) being washed ashore, along New Jersey’s coast.  At the time, there was an enormous outcry because it was obvious that hospitals and heath care operators were dumping their very dangerous and infectious waste products into the nearby ocean. 

 

It is also true that some cities and municipalities dump their garbage and wastes (particularly chemical wastes and poisons) into the oceans.  This isn’t as common today, as it has been in the past.  But it still happens (just as ships and boats at sea dump their garbage and waste products into the oceans). 

 

Several years ago, New York or one of her nearby sister cities loaded up a whole train of garbage to supposedly send West to be dumped at whatever land fill that could be found.  It was too bad, but none of the Western states wanted this garbage.  Quickly, the smelling and stinking train became unpopular as it traveled across the railways. 

 

Finally, the train went back East where the responsible people silently and secretly dumped the train load of garbage into the Atlantic Ocean.  Actually, this problem in locating a Western landfill was rare because many, many large cites (especially in the East) send their garbage and waste products to the South or West for final disposal. 

 

The way this motion is carried out is both significant and sickening.  Big trucks haul vegetables and food products into the large Northeastern cities.  The trucking companies don’t want their trucks to head back South or West empty (because of the profit motive). 

 

Often, large trucks will load up with a load of garbage coming back.  After dumping the garbage, the trucks can load up again with vegetables to go back East.  It appears that the American, sun worshipping public doesn’t have any problem with their food being transported in the same trucks that transport garbage and poisoned wastes. 

 

 

Trash in General 

 

A former chapter briefly mentioned the problem of land pollution in the context of the depositing of very poisonous chemicals upon the land, which eventually seep into the underground water systems to pollute and damage them. 

 

However, beyond the poisonous chemicals, which are either in a liquid state or become that way with rain (to seep into the underground water table), there is the overall problem of trash in general which never decomposes or seeps to lower levels. 

 

One of the supposedly good features of modern man has become also one of the most horrible and terrible realities of modern times. 

 

This paradox arises because of the modern invention and use of plastics which create an ecological crisis (simply because this stuff will not decompose).  Increasingly, these man-made pollutants are not only filling up land fills, but they are appearing all over land areas to besmirch and defile them as well. 

 

 

More Pollution of the Oceans 

 

Of course, many items of plastic find their way into the oceans where they sometimes fill up with water and sink to the bottom (to rest without decomposition).  Often, fish and porpoises get entrapped in them or other man made waste products to die. 

 

There seems to be no end to man’s incredible production of trash which either will not decompose or will require a long time span for decomposition.  Much of this stuff is thrown along the highways and roads or wherever man dwells.  With taxpayer funds and some interest in beautification, some of the trash along roadways is collected; but ultimately, it is taken to a land fill or otherwise disposed of. 

 

However, the great oceans remain the disposal site of choice.  Not only are they convenient to many Eastern, Western and Southern cities, but once something is thrown overboard, no one normally finds out about it (unless some of the wastes wash ashore later on). 

 

It must be remembered that the profit motive is far more persuasive and pressing than any question over the future of the oceans.  Money is always the name of the game in the Western, Christian, sun worship civilization. 

 

 

The Housing Ship 

 

Among other reasons on why the profit motive completely dominates all aspects of pollution, another tragic condition is on the drawing boards for the oceans.  A group of investors have gotten together and are in the process of building a floating city in the form of a giant ship which will traverse the world’s oceans (Jan 18, 2002, “The Week,” p. 18). 

 

This city will house 17,000 people on a reasonably permanent basis as they float around the world, visiting different ports and sites.  Of course, their wastes will generally be thrown overboard to pollute the water wherever they travel.  Ocean-view apartments will sell for $40 million and small studios will be available at $130,000. 

 

Besides housing, the ship will offer all kinds of goods, services and entertainment, much like one would find in a typical large US city.  This ship under construction will be as large as four aircraft carriers.  It is called “Freedom ship” and will be launched in 2006. 

 

If this housing project sounds like gross madness and insanity, it is (but it will make a lot of money for investors, which is the name of the game and which is vastly more important to society than whether the oceans are destroyed or not).

 

One more remark is needed on this matter of dumping raw sewage and waste products into the oceans.  Actually, this practice is widespread globally.  While some cities and nations do treat their sewage before dumping it, many do not.  This is true off of the coasts of the United States and Europe, as well as in undeveloped countries. 

 

 

Ocean Dead Areas 

 

Many of the immediate off shore waters around these dump sites are becoming extremely polluted.  In fact, some off shore waters are so polluted that they are literally “dying,” as described earlier in Florida.  

 

Add to this the historic and continuing problem, noted above, of the practice of ships and vessels at sea to dump their sewage and garbage into the waters, one can see that real problems are on the horizon.  In many ways, the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean have become extremely polluted since WWII. 

 

The Art Bell Coast to Coast AM radio talk show program of Aug 4, 1999, had several news reports which were most terrifying.  In the first instance, scientists have discovered some fifteen “dead zones” or dead areas in the oceans and over 50 such dead zones in coastal waters. 

 

A later report on the Art Bell Dreamland program on Mar 5, 2000, said that scientists had now identified some 58 dead zones in ocean waters, caused by sewage and fertilizer run off.  One single dead zone in the Baltic sea covers an area of 38,000 square miles. 

 

 

More 

 

The Oct 18, 1999, “Newsweek” (p. 60) had an article by Peter Annin on “Down in the Dead Zone” which reported upon what has been happening to the Gulf of Mexico.  Some 7,728 square miles (an area the size of New Jersey) is dead along the US’s Mississippi Delta coast (evidently, in different dead zone locations where rivers empty into the Gulf). 

 

A news report on January 23, 2002, said that a dead zone area the size of the state of Massachusetts is now directly at the mouth of the Mississippi in Louisiana. 

 

Fish that can swim away from these dead zones have done so in the last several years.  However, shellfish, clams, snails, worms, and so forth have all died since they could not get away fast enough.  Annin explains the problem as being the farmlands in the Midwestern US which use chemical, nitrogen fertilizers that run off to the Mississippi and the Gulf. 

 

This nitrogen causes enormous algae blooms in the ocean; which, in turn, sinks and begins decaying as it dies.  It then steals oxygen from the water to choke off the entire marine ecosystem.  In time, the ocean becomes a lifeless, dead zone.  This is what has been happening over most of the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. 

 

Next, news reports in early July 2000 indicated that a foreign algae or water fungus was introduced into the Mediterranean Sea around Monaco and the South of France.  This stuff started growing, expanding, choking the oxygen off, and naturally, killing fish.  Some scientists are now concerned because they don’t know what to do to stop it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 268--More Pollution Examples II

 

 

More Water Problems   

 

The Art Bell Coast to Coast AM radio talk show program on Oct 21, 1999, had Linda Howe on with Art discussing environmental problems.  Linda mentioned that some one million lobsters have been killed recently in the Long Island Sound (mentioned earlier).  Also giant squibs have been turning up dead in fishermen’s nets.  At the moment, no one has any explanation on the “why” for either of these massive deaths. 

 

Linda was also on the Dreamland program on July 9, 2000, to talk about the pollution and algae problems in the famous Neuse River of North Carolina.  The algae is growing rapidly in much of the river because of the extreme warm temperatures in the recent winters.  It is choking off oxygen.  And fish by the thousands are developing lesions and large sores before finally dying. 

 

With the drought now in progress in parts of North America, American rivers and streams will start to die, as well, as man continues to recklessly pollute them without the benefit of rainwater to carry the pollutants off.  Soon, it would appear that America’s polluted waterways will spell an even bigger disaster because of the present and/or coming droughts.  The smells alone will be awful for man to bear. 

 

 

Guatemala 

 

The Jan 9, 2003, Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. A2) had a terrible story about how incredibly damaging hydroelectric dams can be to fish.  The essence of this report was that a hydroelectric dam on the Montague River in Guatemala released contaminated water (after cleaning the dam) which killed thousands of fish in the Vacas River, a tributary of the Montague. 

 

Apparently, when the dam operators “clean” the dam there is a release of contaminated water.  Evidently, this same thing happened in February 2002 when the dams along the river were cleaned. 

 

 

North Carolina, Revisited   

 

There is still another aspect of the dam problem.  In 1776, this writer’s great, great, great grandfather received a North Carolina state grant of land on the South side of the Catawba River at the Lovelady Ford area of Burke County, just at the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains.  It’s not hard to imagine how utterly marvelous and wonderful this land appeared in 1776. 

 

The country was spectacular, and especially when beholding the compelling Blue Ridge Mountains to the West.  But things were to change--not all at once, but slowly and particularly in the 20th century when more and more terrifying poisons have been developed and more and more plastics have come into use. 

 

The problem started when Duke Power Company came in and bought up the land along the river and built a dam across it and created Lake Rhodhiss.  Water is now backed upon much of my grandfather’s former land. 

 

Manifestly, the creation of the lake was heralded as a great bonanza for fishing and boating.   The small city of Hickory, NC is not far away.  So many people there come out to the lake to enjoy the water and so-called water sports. 

 

However, things have also changed for the worse.  This writer has visited this area many times in the last 40 years.  These visits have included walks around the lake and observations about the area.  Tragically, things have changed. 

 

One of the most notable and obvious changes is the incredible amount of trash and garbage which can be found in some land areas near the waters’ edge.  It seems that fishermen like to come out and spend some time camping and fishing from the shorelines.  Some of them can be awful trashy and polluting.  They simply throw their trash on the ground wherever they may be situated. 

 

Apparently, Duke Power and the state fishing authorities have been unable to do anything about it and probably aren’t much concerned with doing anything.  After all, it would take money to enforce laws--if any are indeed on the books which could be enforced. 

 

People using boats can also be awful polluting.  They sometimes merely throw their trash overboard where it eventually washes to the nearby shoreline to pollute it. 

 

Oh how sickening it is to walk around this once so beautiful and spectacular area.  It pains me greatly to see The MOST HIGH’s marvelous and wonderful creation befouled and besmeared as it is. 

 

 

The Wilderness Road 

 

The early White settlements in Virginia were somewhat blocked off from Virginia’s Western area of Kentucky by the formidable Cumberland Mountains in Western Virginia.  Then, in 1750, an explorer named Dr Thomas Walker discovered Cumberland Gap through the mountains and the historic Indian trail which went through it. 

 

Though Walker got credit for the discovery, it appears that the Cumberland Gap was well known earlier by White hunters. 

 

In the late 1760s, a settlement sprang up in Western Virginia on this Indian trail (which came to be called the Wilderness Road)--near modern Rose Hill in Lee County.  This first station was near the headwaters of a large Western flowing creek called Indian Creek (which eventually flows into the Powell River to the Southwest). 

 

The precise location of this station is uncertain.  But a spring in the valley was the beginning of the creek.  In view of the need for water, it is a certainty that the settlement was either right adjacent to the spring or nearby so that the people could get water from it. 

 

The famous explorer Daniel Boone came from the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina, Northwest over the Wilderness Road past the station in the late 1760s and several times in the 1770s (after the site was eventually abandoned), before finally establishing his own settlement at Boonesborough in Central Kentucky.  It is a certainty that Boone (like others--both Indians and Whites) drank from the spring. 

 

Today, the spring is a polluted cesspool--stinking, dirty, poisoned and pathetic to look at and behold.  What happened to this once great source of pure, clean water?  Well, about two hundred yards away and on a ridge overlooking the valley, one finds several houses which use septic tanks. 

 

There is no doubt about it whatsoever.  These nearby septic tanks have completely polluted this spring.  Its use for drinking purposes has been destroyed in just a matter of days, once the septic tanks were installed. 

 

 

The Oregon Trail 

 

One of the problems moving West to Oregon over the famous Oregon Trail was the need for clean water.  Starting in 1846, when the first wagon trains came West, the settlers found this needed water--either in rivers and streams or in springs. 

 

As the number of travelers over the Oregon Trail increased dramatically into the thousands from 1849 on (with the discovery of gold in California), many of these water sources became polluted because the travelers were extremely irresponsible and careless about sanitation involving both human and animal wastes.  Consequently, cholera began to appear in the 1850s, due to bad (polluted) water. 

 

In any case, there is one of these immigrant or emigrant springs in the Boise River Valley in Western Idaho, near the modern town of Parma.  This spring is appropriately marked as an Emigrant Spring on the Oregon Trail. 

 

Today, like the spring in Western Virginia, this one near Parma is totally polluted.  It stinks and is full of sewage and poisons.  Another nearby sign warns visitors--Do not drink the water because it is poisonous. 

 

Well, just as there were the beginning signs of pollution and the destruction of water resources in the 1850s, things have only accelerated for the bad since then.  Today, this immigrant spring in Idaho is fed by underground water from a ridge to the North where there are several houses with septic tanks. 

 

Once man builds and uses septic tanks, it isn’t long before the underground water flowing nearest the surface becomes polluted.  Obviously, this pollution is carried off to the first spring outlets.  Of course, the pollution seepage is so great that over time, the septic tank discharges will reach even deeper into underground water sources. 

 

It’s incredible that man is so anxious to destroy his own drinking water.  While man generally lacks the capability to remove all of the inorganic poisons that are dumped into the septic tanks (from cleaners, plumber helpers, etc), he is able to dilute the bacteria infected water with the poison chlorine to at least drink it and avoid dying immediately (although his life span is shortened later with the inorganic poisons). 

 

 

Both Whites and Indians Pollute 

 

In the above discussion on the pristine beauty of early North Carolina, Virginia and Idaho, before the White man came to pollute and defile those areas, there is a need to offer some remarks on the situation with the American Indians.  Of course, almost all modern Americans are obsessed with the theory that the Indians were some kind of righteous environmentalists while the White eyes were evil polluters. 

 

And though there is some truth in this thinking, the issue is far more complex.  There is no argument that the White man was far the worst polluter and that the Indians could never begin to equal the Caucasians’ destruction of nature.  In the vein of creative White minds to develop and perpetuate polluting factories and technology, the White man has led the way in pollution. 

 

But this is not to say that the Indians also weren’t polluters.  They were.  The difference is only in degrees.  The Indians too could and would pollute and especially if they would have had the technology and means to carelessly pollute, as was true with the White man. 

 

The Indians were notorious about setting fires in the plains and forests to either kill game or push the game in a desired direction where the Indians could kill it.  Too, the Indians had a nasty habit of throwing dead animals or animal parts into the water holes of enemies in order to defile the water so that their enemies could not drink it.  Thus, the Indians were not lily-white on the subject of pollution.  They too were bad. 

 

 

Natural Crude Oil 

 

Many products that are not particularly damaging in their natural states become deadly toxic poisons once man takes them and processes and refines them into something else.  For example, natural crude oil is not necessarily a disaster to the environment (as an informed acquaintance once told me).  When spilled on the land or water ways, the ecology seems to recover quite rapidly with no major remaining problems. 

 

But the dilemma with natural crude oil arises when man transports it to a refinery and processes (changes) it into thousands of other products, many of which become very toxic and deadly to the environment and all forms of life that ingest them.  Take refined gasoline.  It is a terrible poison to any form of life coming into contact with it. 

 

Gasoline fumes kill and people that work around them (at gas stations) are far more prone to come down with sickness.  Burn gasoline and the resulting carbon monoxide and other released chemicals pollute the environment and kill.  Gasoline fumes are deadly.  

 

 

The Galapagos Islands 

 

The Galapagos archipelago consists of thirteen larger islands and several smaller ones in the Pacific Ocean, off of the coast of Ecuador (which claims national sovereignty over them).  In 1835, evolutionist Charles Darwin (mentioned in a prior chapter) and his colleagues visited the Galapagos Islands. 

 

Darwin found a marvelous array of natural plants and wildlife which had been largely by-passed by man.  The work Darwin did while visiting formed much of the material he would later cite and use in his “The Origins of the Species,” discussed earlier. 

 

In any case, the islands have remained desolate and largely uninhabited over the years.  There have been a few scientists and naturalists living there, off and on, to study nature.  But otherwise, the “progress” of civilization has by-passed the islands.  The government of Ecuador has helped to protect the islands because they have represented a source of foreign exchange in the context of visitors. 

 

This was the background when a large ocean tanker ran aground in the nearby waters of the Galapagos Islands in January 2001 and began spilling huge quantities of refined diesel fuel and other petroleum products.  These refined products (as changed by man) are considerably different than raw crude (which would have been bad enough).  Obviously, the pollution would be and was extremely damaging. 

 

Quickly, the nation of Ecuador responded by calling it a natural disaster on the level of an earthquake.  Numerous environmental groups rushed in to try to stem the tide of pollution.  However, the petroleum spill was so great that much damage resulted soon before any thing positive could be done. 

 

Many animals, fish, birds and other forms of wildlife were soon seriously hurt and/or killed outright.  Truly, this tragedy has been one of the most terrible blows to nature in our time.  The point of it is that as long as man pursues his quest for profits, gain and comforts, things like this can and will happen. 

 

Actually, ocean oil spills are not rare at all.  Instead, they seem to be fairly common.  As late as Mar 20, 2001, a Brazilian, state-owned, oil rig collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean, some 85 miles off shore.  This event was bad enough, but the rig went down with 400,000 barrels of oil and diesel.  Obviously, another environmental crisis erupted. 

 

 

Palestine 

 

In 1975, this writer was privileged to visit the wonderful promise land of Canaan, Yisrael or Palestine, however it is to be defined.  One day, while standing on the shores of the beautiful and alluring Mediterranean Sea, near Joppa, it was sickening to see what all had and was washing ashore with regularity. 

 

There was the trash problem in general (because boats and ships at sea toss their trash and garbage overboard).  But there was something else which was as equally as sickening and distressing. 

 

Crude or refined oil products also get dumped in the sea.  Sometimes, ships go down and their oil cargo is lost (as pointed out above).  And sometimes, oil is otherwise discharged into the world’s seas and oceans.  This stuff forms small balls of partially solidified petroleum, much of which eventually wash to the shores. 

 

In Israel, along the Mediterranean, some beach areas are simply covered with these pathetic balls of pollution.  They are sickening and disgusting to have to behold.  When one beholds this tragic and awful pollution of something which THE HIGHEST made both beautiful and good, it is indeed a very sad experience. 

 

Iyov wrote about the creation (Job 38:4-7).  He used words which described it as spectacular and awesome.  Why is it or how is that dirty, little, demented, evil, wicked, sorry men have chosen a path of disregard and contempt for His creation?  Yet, this is the reality of the last 6,000 years.  This writer is not a tree hugger.  But there are profound issues involved in this subject (to be later assessed). 

 

 

The Ocean Conservancy 

 

The Ocean Conservancy, an environmental group, issued a report in early July 2002 on the “Health of the Oceans” (Jul 9, 2002, “Spokesman-Review,” p. 1, 5).  This report said that 45% of US estuaries are unfit for activities such as swimming and fishing, coral reefs are being lost at an alarming rate, and numerous species of marine mammals, sea turtles and sea birds are in danger of extinction. 

 

The Conservancy group added that many species of fish and marine life have been reduced to near extinction, that only 300 North Atlantic right whales are now known to exist, and that all six species of sea turtles found in US waters are threatened or endangered.  The problems are being caused by pollution and over-fishing. 

 

The giant oceans not only produce up to 70% of the world’s supply of oxygen, but they are the very instruments which allow for the sustainment of human life on this planet.  And so-called human beings are quickly turning them into polluted cesspools.  When the oceans go, man had better watch out.  Human life will not continue on this globe. 

 

 

More on Specie Extinctions  

 

The Art Bell Coast to Coast AM news reports of Aug 4, 1999, also covered a couple of other items equally terrifying. 

 

The program noted that at man’s current level of activity and irresponsibility (which is not likely to end under man’s government), most of the world’s giant rain forests will be gone by 2050 CE (since man is busy destroying them to allow so-called economic development). 

 

With the destruction and end of the great rain forests, man will achieve the distinction of having destroyed some 95% of all of the life forms (of birds, animals, insects and plants) on earth by the mid 21st century.  This extinction of life will be comparable to the supposed catastrophic destruction of the giant dinosaurs of many ages ago. 

 

As cited earlier, the May 10, 2002, “The Week” (p. 14) noted that some 25 million species have already disappeared from earth.  Scientists now estimate that some 31 million different species were on earth historically.  The latest estimates are that there are only four to six million left.  Obviously, many more will disappear over the next several years with the loss of the giant rain forests. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 269--Air Pollution

 

 

Air Pollution 

 

One of the backbones of the modern human culture is the burning of fossil fuels in the context of gasoline combustion engines and coal burning power plants, as well as industrial factories and other modern activities and conveniences (in general, things which emit various and sundry kinds of poisons into the atmosphere). 

 

Many American cities have now gained reputations for their excessive smog which completely casts a sickening and poisonous haze across them.  For years, Los Angeles has had a reputation for being the smog capital of the US.  But the problem extends to other cities as well. 

 

The “US News & World Report,” of Oct 25, 1999 (p. 28), had an article on “Houston, you’ve got a problem” which detailed what has been happening to numerous Texas cities and towns since so many petrochemical plants have started operating there.  Houston, of course, is one of the most notorious smog cities; and one seriously competing with Los Angeles for honors of being the worst. 

 

The article asserts that Texas is now number 1 in America for carcinogens in the air and number 1 in America for toxic releases into the air, into the water and into the soil.  This pollution costs the state of Texas billions of dollars, thousands of sick days and hundreds of premature deaths.  It has been a tragedy and not a blessing, as many wish to believe. 

 

These polluting plants and things are not necessities because Adam got along without them quite well for about 5,900 years.  Yes, even the modern factories, which are pumping tons of pollutants into the air, are not actual necessities though the people profiting from them have educated the public to so believe. 

 

 

Second Hand Air Pollution 

 

Along the same line of thought on secondhand tobacco smoke, discussed in a former chapter, automobiles, trucks, buses, trains and other items of equipment and factories are much like cigarettes in terms of hurting, injuring and killing people.  They emit vast sums of carbon monoxide and various other fumes, smokes, poisons, and air pollutants. 

 

A recent study from Carnegie Mellon University said that almost 700,000 people die annually from polluted air caused by burning fossil fuels (gasoline and coal) which emit huge quantities of carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases (Aug 31, 2001, “The Week,” p. 19).  The study said another 65,000 come down with chronic bronchitis annually, along with a loss of 37 million days of work time in urban areas.  

 

Another story in the March 8, 2002, “The Week” (p. 4) had an even more alarming report.  It quoted a finding in the “Journal of the American Medical Association” that air pollution may kill as many people as secondhand cigarette smoke.  People in large cities are 16 percent more likely to die from lung cancer than residents of cleaner towns.  Air pollution also promotes heart disease in humans. 

 

A later study from Stanford University, reported in the Nov 12, 2002, Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. A10) in a story on “Study:  Pollution has impact on seniors’ health,” acknowledged the positive link between air pollution and early deaths and added some information on the pollution impact on medical care. 

 

The focus of this work was on air pollution data provided from the Environmental Protection Agency on 183 metropolitan areas with 100,000 people.  This Stanford study noted that hospital admissions for respiratory problems were, on average, 19% higher in some 37 areas with higher air pollution as compared with the 37 areas with the least amount of pollution. 

 

The essence of these reports and studies is that many of the air polluting sources not only are killing trees, vegetation, lakes and waterways (primarily from acid rain, which will shortly be assessed), but they are now acknowledged to be killers of people. 

 

An AP report on "Emissions Battle Line Drawn" of Nov 26, 1991, said: “There's no dispute that toxic and smog-causing fumes spew out of automobile tanks with every fill-up.  But there's no agreement on how to control them.”  In terms of air pollution, this question is even more pungent when addressing the streams of pollution being emitted from aircraft now crowding the skies in many areas. 

 

 

The Surgeon General, Revisited 

 

Question--if the US Surgeon General is so concerned over carbon monoxide poisoning of Americans from cigarette smoke, as suggested in a former chapter, why then hasn't his office looked into the matter of people having to breathe carbon monoxide from automobiles and other gasoline combustion engines? 

 

Why shouldn't gasoline service stations and automobiles be forced to display a sign to warn innocent people of the resulting carbon monoxide poisoning?   

 

Of course, it is conceivable that the Surgeon General and the "medical" establishment are as stupid and uninformed as is the general public on the dangers of gasoline, diesel and similarly powered engines.  Or perhaps, they are just too much afraid to take on the big oil companies and the Rockefeller clan over an issue such as this. 

 

After all, the Christian Amalekite Rockefellers do carry a big stick in American politics (maybe not as big as they used to carry before the Rothschilds and other powerful Amalekite Jews took over in the last forty years, but still big and powerful).  As is true with most polluting and dangerous products, large multi-national corporations make and sell this stuff for profit to the gullible public. 

 

On this reality, it is also fascinating that the Rockefellers and other super rich plutocrats (whom will be addressed in later chapters) are themselves supposedly environmentalists and concerned about people, despite owning and/or controlling these same, large, multi-national corporations and establishing their polluting and murdering policies. This paradox will likewise be assessed in subsequent chapters. 

 

And if one thinks that automobile emitted carbon monoxide is so harmless, why is it that would be suicide candidates so frequently try running an automobile engine in a closed compartment or garage and breath the fumes?  Soon, the would be suicide is a real suicide.  Truly, the fumes are killers.  This stuff is serious business. 

 

 

Exercising 

 

Many Americans like to occasionally obtain some exercise by walking or jogging.  And where, in most American communities, can one walk or jog, except near a roadway traveled heavily by cars and trucks? 

 

Can you imagine what all happens to the human lungs as all of the vehicular carbon monoxide and poisons are thrust into the air to be breathed by people traveling a roadway--either on foot or even riding in another vehicle?  Tragically, it is almost out of the question to try to avoid "all" carbon monoxide poisoning since cars, trucks, buses and so forth are almost everywhere one may go all over planet earth. 

 

Some persons ignorantly suppose that motor vehicle engines running out of doors are harmless, on the pretext that the winds and air disperse the poisonous fumes and gases. 

 

While it is evidently true that appreciable winds can blow the contamination away to some extent, it is also true that some times the fumes remain hovering over a roadway or at least near an activity dispensing such poisons.  Clearly, in those situations where large numbers of automobiles, trucks and buses are involved, the poisons do not readily disperse, as some people may wish. 

 

This writer has traveled along some streets and highways in large cities where the fumes are so great and intense that they even burn and irritate unprotected human eyes, noses and other senses.  It is now an established fact that people living near automobile expressways have a higher mortality rate than those living elsewhere. 

 

Once this writer mentioned this tragic and pathetic problem to a supposed Sacred Name "Elder" (an SP type in psychological temperament).  He responded that he couldn't see any difference between poisonous fumes from automobile engines and factories vis-à-vis smoke from burning wood for heat. 

 

But there is a difference!  There seems to be a Scriptural basis for burning natural wood for cooking and heating.  Contrariwise, where is the Scriptural authority for burning gasoline, diesel and other refined petroleum products--if they kill and damage people and the environment as they do? 

 

 

Oxygen 

 

Of course, these pollutants are depleting and destroying vast quantities of ozone and oxygen in the atmosphere, which humans need to survive.  Beyond taking good oxygen from the atmosphere and replacing it with poisonous air and fumes, there is also the greater problem of man rapidly destroying the primary sources of new oxygen. 

 

Modern man is destroying the great rain forests by clear cutting and the great ocean plankton beds in droves by environmental pollution (as outlined formerly herein).  What will happen when these primary agencies producing new oxygen are, all of a sudden, gone and no more? 

 

The value of oxygen is established.  Because, even in hospitals, many sick people are placed in oxygen tents to increase the supply of this required air and extend life.  Oxygen cleans the human system and sustains life.  With its presence rapidly declining over earth, health problems have been surfacing in numbers (increases in illnesses and degenerative diseases, as was noted in prior chapters herein on health). 

 

 

Decreasing Life Spans 

 

On this theme, it is furthermore worthwhile to observe that in Tokyo, the fumes from the heavy traffic are so bad that pedestrians have to occasionally stop and pay a coin into a machine in order to buy a temporary dose of pure oxygen--needed to live, survive and keep going in that hostile environment. 

 

A study of the Scriptures suggest that as “civilized” Adam spread over the globe and began destroying the sources of clean oxygen (trees, water ways and ocean plants, emitting oxygen) and began pumping pollutants into the air instead, Adamic life spans began decreasing correspondingly. 

 

This oxygen message from the Book has been confirmed by a number of man-made studies over the years on the body’s need of oxygen (Apr 30, 2001, “Spotlight,” p. B-11).  It is not even in dispute among people who know! 

 

Now, some will argue that in modern times, man’s life spans are increasing from where they were years ago.  The truth of the matter is that the early Adamites (pre-flood and even to the time of the judges--because Moshe lived to be 120 years old and Yehoshua reached 110) generally had long life spans which gradually decreased down to the 70 years average set for Adamites (Ps 90:10).  David died at age 70. 

 

But with the advent of Christian sun worship power (under Constantine, 312-325 CE), the Western civilization was to enter the dark ages where environmental pollution increased, along with a growing ignorance about sanitation (although the Scriptures have a number of laws on sanitation, but Christendom abolished those laws and refused to live by them). 

 

Thus, by the time of Jamestown in 1607, the life expectancy of Adamites had declined, though some persons did live long past their allocated 70 years. Because of the increasing environmental pollution and the sad neglect of sanitation, many died young and particularly so from various diseases (which directly linked to sanitation). 

 

True, in the 20th century, men have woke up and started to understand the nature of bacteria, germs and sanitation.  This has increased life expectancy somewhat, short term. 

 

 

Delayed Deaths 

 

But often, in modern times, older people, though living longer, are not healthy.  Many are sick from diseases caused by the effects of environmental pollution, under discussion.  Cancer is not always a fast killer.  People with cancer can sometimes live many years as sick invalids before finally dying. 

 

Yes, breathing poisonous air from tobacco smoke, asbestos fibers or whatever, as noted previously, can cause cancer and any number of diseases.  Sometimes, such air kills quickly (as breathing carbon monoxide from running automobiles) and sometimes death is delayed many, many years, as is true with asbestos poisons. 

 

But ultimately, death is assured from the poison--unless, of course, the poisoned person dies first from some other cause, as so often happens.  It is this reality of an earlier death which misleads and confuses many persons from understanding the nature of poisonous pollutants. 

 

A person breathing asbestos fibers will almost assuredly come down with lung cancer 40 years later.  But over those 40 years of wait, the poisoned individual may die of something else--like a car accident or a heart attack. 

 

When the statistics are eventually compiled on deaths (de facto, long after the deaths have occurred or started to occur), they only address the cause of the death at the moment it occurred and not whether the death would have happened later from environmental pollution. 

 

 

More on Acid Rain 

 

As noted above, one can also see the effects of poisonous air whenever consideration is focused on acid rain (which kills rivers, streams, fish, forests, trees, etc).  What many persons fail to realize is that acid rain is a by product of polluted air.  Nature has a natural cleansing process in the form of rain. 

 

As the air pollutants build up, nature tries to clean and clear the air of the poisons.  When the air pollutants are bad, the rain turns bad in the form of acid rain.  Obviously, it comes to earth in a bad condition to damage, destroy, injure and hurt much of the creation it comes into contact with. 

 

If acid rain kills vegetation, animals, fish and insects, as it does, rest assured that it can kill humans--just as much as carbon monoxide does from running automobiles or the breathing of asbestos fibers (maybe not at once, but assuredly, in later years as delayed deaths, as discussed above). 

 

 

Further Problems 

 

Beyond the detrimental effects of using gasoline combustion engines to cause air pollution, discussed above, humans use various kinds of other poisons for various purposes--such as air conditioning, refrigeration, spray cans, etc which create massive air pollution. 

 

In the last several years, science has discovered that many of these things release chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs) which are slowly destroying the ozone layer (which YHWH made to protect man from the sun).

 

A former chapter on health noted that thinking people have expressed some concern over aircraft and especially supersonic aircraft in the context of air pollution. 

 

As suggested, it should not take too many brains to look at a supersonic airplane and its trail of visible vapors and fumes (in the form of smoke, haze, chemicals or whatever) and figure out that there could be some associated environmental and/or health problems.  

 

Many scientists testify that this trail of fumes and pollutants are actually chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs) which are quite busy destroying the earth’s ozone layer, as mentioned earlier.  When one adds in the chem-trail equation (discussed in a previous chapter on health), there has to be certain dangers going on in the sky with modern aircraft. 

 

Apparently, the fumes and chemicals from all the aircraft are combining with more air dispersed chemicals on the ground to destroy the wonderful ozone layer created by The ELOHIM to protect, serve and benefit man.  Now, man is facing a skin cancer explosion--plus many other problems relating to survival. 

 

The interesting thing about air pollution is that it can spread out over vast areas of the planet to not only pollute the air of nearby people, but also the air of millions of other innocent persons, living thousands of miles away. 

 

An AP report on Dec 7, 1998, noted that scientists have how established that smog, industrial pollution and dust from Asia can travel across the Pacific to degrade the air quality in the US, just as US pollution can affect Europe and other parts of the world. 

 

 

Natural Pollution as Opposed to Man-made 

 

There is another fascinating aspect of air pollution not readily apparent to the minds of warped limited men, whose greed blinds their perception of reality. 

 

While there are a host of different pollutants to address (volcanoes, gas emissions from humans, animals, factories and on and on which can cause alterations in the atmosphere--depending upon quantities and persistence), it seems true that all air pollutants do not react the same way upon the environment. 

 

There seems to be a difference between man-made pollutants, as opposed to those coming from nature.  In other words, volcanic gasses are not necessarily the same as automobile emissions or the belching of cattle.  There can be differences--which at present are totally unknown to modern science. 

 

 

The Loss of Needed Oxygen 

 

As was true with water pollution, man is largely ignorant of what will happen, as polluting gases enter the atmosphere and as ozone and oxygen are destroyed.  For sure, the loss of ozone and oxygen will affect the health and life spans of so-called human beings, as discussed above. 

 

Again, the evidence seems most persuasive that the pre-flood population had long lives from the abundance of clean oxygen.  In the post-flood earth, oxygen began decreasing (from man’s polluting actions) and life spans have gone down accordingly. 

 

 

Saipan, Revisited 

 

As commented upon in prior comments, this writer lived and worked on Saipan Island for several years.  Because the work was sedimentary, there was a need to get a little exercise daily.  Many persons try to walk or jog along highways and roadways where there is much automobile traffic. 

 

However, as discussed above, this proves to be very unsatisfactory since the auto emissions and pollutants are so severe and damaging and especially as they are deeply breathed in by people on the ground.  As an alternative, this writer and several other individuals got into the habit of walking or jogging up Mount Tapotchau, which towers over Saipan Island, about 1,545 feet above sea level. 

 

This was great for awhile since the public trail or road was largely unused by vehicle traffic.  It meant that a person could get some valuable exercise with deep breathing of crucial oxygen, without being plagued with vehicle poisons and pollutants. 

 

But then some developers saw the possibilities for huge profits on the sides of the mountain which offered a fantastic view of the great Pacific Ocean.  They came in and leased a part of one side of the road going up and built a number of large condominiums. 

 

Since there was no available electricity, they had to install their own system.  For power, they brought in several large diesel generators.  Naturally, they placed these generators right next to the road where they would be accessible to refuel. 

 

 

More on the Fall-Out 

 

Though the generators were on their property, the tragedy is that when they were running, they spewed out air pollution down the road and mountain side (in the direction that the smoke stacks were emplaced). 

 

If they had only polluted their own property, it would have been of no concern to outsiders uninvolved in the project.  But as always holds true, air pollution travels away from the site where it is released.  Therefore, the value of this old (public) road, as a place for exercise, was destroyed in one swift motion. 

 

And of course, these diesel engines and the motor vehicle traffic are all far more "important" to modern society than are the people living down wind and the several joggers and walkers who tried to use the road for exercise and just plain, traversing movements.  

 

After all, the developer probably stood to make millions of dollars on the project with the large generators present.  Question, which alternative do you think is the most important and pressing in today's modern world--millions of dollars for the developer or clean air and health for people using the road and living downwind from his project? 

 

Also, there is the issue of the later buyers and users of the buildings and generators.  Many people of our time just must have electricity and power for their own personal pleasures and comforts and regardless of whether the public must breath poisoned air or not. 

 

 

Human Wisdom? 

 

On both of these counts, you can be sure of what man will judge to be good and right.  Naturally, poisoned air and healthful living are not big issues when it comes to making money and/or enjoying the supposed "comforts" of our time. 

 

Later, whenever this writer walked or ran on the just mentioned road, i generally had to smell and breath the pungent diesel fumes from one to two blocks away and while going by the buildings.  And what do you suppose these fumes and poisons were doing to my health? 

 

While those fumes did not kill me immediately, they did for sure shorten my overall life span--just as much and just as certain as breathing cigarette smoke, as commented upon in a prior chapter. 

 

And if someone was to try to object, who would he object to?  Profits, money, greed, get and acquire are all far more important issues than the health of the few people who either used the road or lived downwind from the generators.  Local fat cats saw opportunities to reap a fat profit on an investment in the property.  Of course, they did so with the full support of the government and Christian Church leaders. 

 

As outlined above, this is one of the horrible aspects of air pollution.  Literally, smog and air pollutants can travel all the way around the globe to pollute, poison and murder persons around the globe (eventually--as people continue to breath the stuff).  In other words, innocent people in rural areas, with no industry and few cars (like say West Virginia), have to breath industrial pollutants from Ohio. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 270--Stupid Science and Technology

 

 

HAARP, Revisited 

 

The previously cited HAARP project (meaning the High Frequency, Active, Aurora, Research Program) in Alaska appears to be a modern effort which is having and will have a profound effect upon the environment.  The American public is just now beginning to learn about this undertaking. 

 

It apparently involves the production of intense electromagnetic radiation and extremely low frequency (ELF) radio waves which can be blasted into the earth’s ionosphere for certain supposed purposes.  The use of one hour of HAARP’s giant generator produces the energy equivalent of one Hiroshima type atomic bomb. 

 

Probably, the basis for some of this thinking arose about a hundred years ago in the work of the famous inventor Nikola Tesla (whose efforts will be elaborated upon in chapters hereafter).  Tesla theorized that weather could be controlled by using coordinated radio impulses to manipulate part of the earth’s magnetic field to change the giant wind patterns, like the jet stream (Jan 2000 “End Time News,” p. 3). 

 

However, the primary system seems to have been developed a few years ago from a electromagnetic weather-engineering system designed by physicist Dr Bernard J. Eastlund.  The plan is to change weather by redirecting the very high wind patterns (like the jet stream).  Not only can weather be altered and messed up--but also, global communications as well (plus other things, to be later assessed). 

 

From this basic Eastlund research and theory (which clearly seems to have a foundation in the work of the just mentioned Nikola Tesla), the present HAARP project started in the early 1990s (Jan 2000 “End Time News,” p. 3). 

 

While HAARP allegedly is a defense department and/or weather modification scheme, questions have been raised about other possible goals for the project--like electronic or weather warfare against an enemy (i.e., in the anti-missile program or perhaps even upon the American people in some way and for some purpose). 

 

The best guess is that Amalekite plutocrats have set this project up in order to control weather in different areas of the globe with a goal of influencing commodity prices and futures (like wheat, cotton, coffee, etc), in the context of controlling weather and agricultural production.  By controlling weather in the hay and grain growing areas, one might even influence the price of cattle and other animals for slaughter for food. 

 

Hence, it would be easy to put two and two together with weather modification projects and understand how Amalekite bankers/masters (anxious to get a further hook into people like the Clintons and other frauds) would control weather to control cattle futures (thus, allowing Hillary Clinton to make $100,000 on those futures with a Amalekite tip and guidance on investing; and of course, Amalekite control of the market). 

 

 

Weather Modification and Water 

 

Beyond the obvious, in terms of using weather modification schemes to alter climate and weather patterns for the benefit of making money in the commodity markets, there is still another insidious process underway--which could relate in some manner to the production and use of HAARP. 

 

This alternative surfaced in the May-Jun 2001 “Intelligence Newsletter” (p. 4-5), in a review of an article by Peter Phillips on “Our New Resource Crisis” from the “Free American Newsmagazine,” and some conclusions about the subject by the newsletter editor Earl F. Jones, previously quoted herein.  Phillips is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Sonoma State University. 

 

Phillips mentioned that the World Bank had recently adopted a policy of water privatization and full-cost water pricing.  Going on, Phillips noted:  “Last year (2000) in a little known case of high scale international water marketing, a supertanker was reported to have filled up with (fresh) water from Lake Erie and after paying the Canadian Government they shipped the water to Southeast Asia. 

 

“Maude Barlow, Chair of the Council of Canadians, Canada’s largest public advocacy group, states, ‘Governments around the world must act now to declare water a fundamental human right and prevent efforts to privatize, export and sell for profit a substance essential to all life.  Research has shown that selling water on the open market only delivers it to wealthy cities and individuals.  The finite sources of fresh water (less than one half of one percent of the world’s total water stock) are being diverted, depleted, and polluted so fast that, by the year 2025, two-thirds of the world population will be living in a state of serious water deprivation.’ 

 

“Governments are signing away their control over domestic water supplies by participating in trade treaties such as the North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA) and in institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO).  These agreements give transnational corporations the unprecedented right to the water of signatory companies. 

 

“Monsanto plans to earn revenues of $420 million and a net income of $63 million by 2008 from its water business in India and Mexico.  Monsanto estimates that water will become a multibillion-dollar market in the coming decades.”  

 

 

More From Jones 

 

As Earl Jones pointed out--the privatization of water is a global project organized by the UN, NAFTA, the World Bank and many multinational corporations (like Bechtel, Monsanto and Enron).  Per the remarks of Phillips, the effort involves a privatization of the ownership and the delivery systems and the selling of water to the entire world. 

 

As Jones asked-- “Should we shrug off this program as being totally unworkable, a pipe-dream perhaps?  Or is it possible that our children, and their children, will live in such a nightmare?” 

 

To the above, the writer of this study at hand would just add that truly fresh water supplies are being grossly polluted all over the world.  For many years now, this writer has been buying purified or distilled water to drink; instead of using public water sources (as the public water supplies are so badly poisoned and polluted). 

 

Now, under HAARP, is it possible that the big boys calling the shots are using HAARP to alter weather and create droughts in order to sell water? 

 

On this theme, there is an interesting Jewish legend which is most important.  “The Book of Legends” (p. 107, item 10) notes that upon entering Canaan land, Yehoshua decreed ten stipulations for Yisrael.  One was that a spring of water, though private and whenever it emerged, could be used by the public of the town. 

 

 

More on HAARP 

 

Otherwise, it might be that HAARP’s use of electromagnetic energy to blast the heavens (with billions of watts of energy) has any number of insidious purposes--like mind control, murder and who knows what else.  The mind control or alteration scheme has some support from a lay scientist named Walt Myers (in his Prophecy Club Video on “Technology and the Mark of the Beast”). 

 

Myers suggests that HAARP is or will be broadcasting electromagnetic waves not only into the heavens, but also on extremely low frequencies (ELF) to the earth’s population in a mind control or behavior alteration project (this option will be addressed in a later chapter). 

 

Walt goes on to say that in addition to the one in Alaska, some 35 more (making a total of 36) of them are in the process of being built and established around the world (with one also in Puerto Rico).  The goal is to be able to reach all of the people in the world with the work.  As a minimum, the Alaskan HAARP effort seems to be already disrupting the earth’s magnetic fields in some way. 

 

Instruments used to monitor the earth’s magnetic field suggest that the earth did on one occasion produce a strange shift which caused magnetic instruments to develop an uncontrollable swing from right to left by several degrees (per Walt Myers).  For sure, migratory birds and geese and whales and fish at sea seem to be developing problems in pursuing their habitual paths (as noted earlier).  Something is now wrong. 

 

The important thing about this stupid HAARP effort worldwide is that the American taxpayers are financing it; and yet, the taxpayers have never been told “why” for the project.  Perhaps no one knows why for sure! 

 

But as America’s weather continues to turn upside down and as a terrible national drought gets into place, maybe a few thinking Americans may at last put two and two together and begin to understand that the problems link back to HAARP and other stupid weather modification schemes. 

 

 

A Mini Big Bang, Revisited 

 

The incredible stupidity of the HAARP program brings up a need to mention another ridiculous program of modern science which will possibly have enormous ramifications for man when it is eventually carried out. 

 

Scientists at America’s Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, New York have a program underway to determine if they can produce a replica of the alleged “big bang,” which supposedly created the universe billions of years ago.  The Brookhaven people are calling their experiment a “Mini Big Bang,” in the sense that it will be a smaller duplicate of the original Big Bang believed in by science. 

 

Anyway, Brookhaven has constructed an enormous, underground facility which will evidently allow matter or energy to swirl about in fantastic speeds and collide head on.  Apparently, they hope to have a collision of mass or energy in an experiment which they are now calling a “Mini Big Bang.” 

 

While all of this may sound intelligent, reasonable, scientific, progress and so forth, some questions need to be answered in assessing the project.  For example, besides spending millions (or billions) of the taxpayers’ funds, what possible purpose could such an experiment provide or prove?  No one can even be sure that creation started with the so-called big bang.  And whether it did or not, so what? 

 

Another important question must be one along the same line as the one with HAARP.  For instance, who knows what will happen if stupid scientists should cause a mini big bang on Long Island?  Ostensibly, at least according to science, the universe started with a big bang eons ago.  If this was duplicated in New York, what will happen and even in the context of something smaller? 

 

Assuredly, men are tampering with powers and forces they simply do not understand.  They don’t know what they are doing and they really have no legitimate, beneficial reason for doing it.  They just carry these projects out to be on the payroll and receive money; and of course, public acclamation for their great knowledge and intelligence (supposedly). 

 

It seems that they never stop and ask themselves what might happen when they undertake stupid experiments and projects which somehow might alter or interfere in the “created” natural order of the earth and its inhabitants.  What will happen?  Will their experiment cause Long Island to blow up or perhaps even earth to blow up? 

 

 

Other Stupid Efforts 

 

Walt Myers’ very excellent presentation on “Technology and the Mark of the Beast,” discussed above, also mentions a couple of other incredibly ridiculous projects by supposed scientists in the name of science. 

 

For years, man has had an enormous effort at trying to bore a hole into the center of the earth.  Theoretically, the earth’s center or core is a plasma of molten metals or magma that is held there by the earth’s crust or mantle (which is several miles thick). 

 

Scientists would like to know what would happen if a shaft reaches this core.  Will it explode or will it cause a gigantic eruption of outflowing molten rock and metal or will the core totally implode or exactly what will happen when the crust is broken through? 

 

In another ridiculous effort, which has been put on the back burner for now, scientists have been concerned about the ice buildup at the poles.  One supposedly brilliant scientist came up with a solution.  Set off a nuclear bomb at the axis of the North Pole to ostensible melt some of the ice.  Perhaps better minds backed this crazy maneuver off when someone wondered if it would disrupt earth’s rotation or magnetic field. 

 

 

An Incident at Hartsville, Tennessee

 

On July 6, 2001, a strange phenomenon struck Hartsville, TN on a clear morning day when a bright light was seen and a strange sound was heard to produce a total power and phone failure, covering over one mile in diameter around Hartsville (discussed by Ted Randle, general manager of WJKM radio of Hartsville on the Art Bell Coast to Coast program on July 17, 2001). 

 

The radio station’s transmitter was knocked out and other pieces of electronic equipment failed.  A huge quantity of birds were killed in the area--many of them while flying in the air.  The dead birds appeared to be fried.  Some of those flying were knocked out of the sky and had their wings almost fried off. 

 

Randle said something similar struck Franklin, TN the next day.  Bell added that the same phenomenon struck his area West of Las Vegas earlier. 

 

The Aug 20, 2001, “American Free Press” (p. 3) had a follow-up story on the Hartsville crisis.  Local residents there were suspicious that the pulse had something to do with a nearby TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) nuclear power plant building project which was supposedly halted in 1982-83. 

 

Nevertheless, work of some sort goes on at the site and military aircraft (helicopters, C-130s, peculiar-appearing triangle shaped craft, etc) seem to regularly visit the site with some frequency, both day and night. 

 

The Hartsville event sounded like a strange power surge or an EMP pulse (the electro-magnetic energy pulse will be discussed in later chapters).  In the vein of the HAARP project (which will involve several facilities and produce massive amounts of electro-magnetic energy, as just noted above), one would wonder if it is possible that these surges in the US are somehow related to the HAARP effort. 

 

 

Polluting the Heavens 

 

As outlined in former chapters, the one thing which can be said for man and man’s efforts on earth is that he has completely polluted, defiled and hurt the earth beyond comprehension.  Probably, man’s evil efforts have not yet reached the point of no return; but surely, that time has to be approaching and very near (that’s why we all should pray that YHWH’s kingdom will come). 

 

Not content with dirtying and destroying the earth, man has chosen to look into the heavens to try to pollute, defile and damage them as much as the earth.  Already, man is trying his best to turn at least the solar system into a garbage dump of man-made satellites, power systems and so forth, which are being carelessly scattered around the heavens.  

 

A news report on National Public Radio on Feb 7, 2003, discussed the investigation underway by NASA to try to determine what broke up the Columbia space ship on Feb 1, 2003 (when it broke up over Texas upon re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere). 

 

One of the possible causes was damage that the ship may have experienced in flight (damage which could have been caused by the “millions” of man-made space debris now in orbit).  Yes, there are now “millions” of pieces of man-made space craft and other items now in orbit around the earth, the sun and who knows where else.  Some of the things are quite small (the size of a grain of sand) and some are quite large. 

 

The Feb 14, 2003, “The Week” (p. 18) had a short news item on “Space sheepdog herds junk” which reported upon this accumulation of man-made space junk (or garbage) now in orbit around earth, and the efforts of astronauts to track the larger pieces. 

 

This report placed the total quantity at 2,000 tons.  It involves leftovers from various space missions--spent rocket launchers, dead satellites, and fragments of spacecraft shattered by collisions. 

 

 

Real “Human” Intelligence? 

 

In the 1950s, scientists with the US Air Force actually discussed and made plans for detonating an atomic bomb on the moon.  Theorists believed that such a blast on the moon would serve two purposes (discussed on the Coast to Coast AM talk show by Mike Siegal on May 18, 2000). 

 

First, it would demonstrate the power of the US and the atom to all potential adversaries--like the Soviet Union.  And second, it could be scientifically studied and analyzed for effects in space.  The plan was finally shelved because of its many adverse features and particularly when fear arose that some radioactive fallout in space might spread to earth. 

 

While this insanity was discussed and planned at the highest levels of the US government, it never reached fruition for various reasons. 

 

 

More Polluting of the Heavens 

 

To further demonstrate this current motion into the heavens, two very recent events can be cited.  For example, there have been a couple of shots to Mars that went astray, as will be described in some detail in a subsequent chapter (who knows where they went, but probably they crashed into Mars where they left a pile of pollution). 

 

The second case concerns the spaceship Galileo which was supposed to crash into Jupiter or its primary moon in the early part of the year 2000.  All of this sounds well and good.  But there are some facts about this exercise which are largely unknown by man. 

 

For example, press reports in February 2000 expressed concern if the Galileo spacecraft was to crash into the moon of Jupiter, it would probably contaminate that moon with bacteria and microorganisms from earth.  In other words, it isn’t only that man will pollute that globe with his man-made, crashed junk; but moreover, man might introduce some limited forms of life. 

 

If so, what would the impact be?  For sure, no one knows and probably no one much cares.  But there is still more to come on this dilemma of what could happen to Galileo when it crashed. 

 

Jupiter is a large, gaseous planet, made up essentially of hydrogen, helium and perhaps some small parts of other gases.  Supposedly, it is made up of the same stuff that the sun is composed of.  In that sense, if Jupiter could be ignited, it could theoretically turn into a small star with the commencement of a series of nuclear reactions. 

 

The better option on Galileo crashing is that it would actually crash into the planet Jupiter itself rather than the moon.  It is this possibility which was addressed by Lew White in an article on the “Jupiter Star,” appearing in the Oct-Dec 1999 “Petah Tikvah” magazine (p. 61).  White quoted a scientist named Milton William Cooper. 

 

 

What Could Have Happened 

 

Cooper noted that the Galileo craft was powered by some 49.7 pounds of weapons grade plutonium in a small nuclear reactor.  In the context of the crash of Galileo, Cooper or rather White asked if the pressures encountered in the crash might serve as an imploding detonator for the plutonium? 

 

As the crashed Galileo entered the more dense interior of Jupiter, and if that was the situation which could implode the plutonium, was it possible that the plutonium would produce a nuclear blast which could, in turn, serve as a detonator to commence a chain reaction of the compressed hydrogen in the planet? 

 

In other words, was it possible that man could be sending a device (in the form of the Galileo spacecraft and its nuclear power system) into the dense inner regions of Jupiter which would implode and produce a nuclear blast which would set off a chain reaction and turn Jupiter into a live, small star? 

 

As Cooper/White reported, such a possibility would prove to be catastrophic on earth--assuring the complete melting of the polar ice caps and enormous flooding worldwide.  Literally, survivalists would have to flee to the high ground of mountains.  As it turned out, these things did not happen.  But they could have happened.

 

The issues raised above, in the context of the crash of Galileo, demonstrate the incredibly ridiculous stupidity of the whole space program.  It has to be utter insanity to be shooting these very expensive, man-made piles of junk and maybe bacteria all over the solar system.  The little knowledge that man gains from these efforts is knowledge that we could just as well do without. 

 

Surely, stupid efforts like the ones just noted must be a repeat of what happened with Nimrod and his colleagues at the plain of Shinar, just after the flood.  It clearly appears that man is right now pursuing the same stupid path, followed by those foolish people long ago.  Truly, there is nothing new under the sun, as Shlomo wrote (Eccl 1:9-10). 

 

The nova of our sun will be discussed in a later chapter.  Per YHWH’s Word, He will supply a new system of light for the earth.  For that eventuality, is it possible that the planet Jupiter will be ignited in some manner in the age end to provide light at least for a while on earth? 

 

Surely, the context of Revelation 22:5 is such to suggest that The EL will be the light in the millennium.  But perhaps, even as a preliminary step, the planet Jupiter might ignite to provide interim light and heat from the nova of the sun until the start of the millennium?  It is something to think about! 

 

 

Profiting From Space 

 

Now, the latest fad in thinking is the commercialization of space.  Any number of entrepreneurs are looking at the vast universe as a means of making profits (money).  A billionaire named Bigelow in Southern Nevada announced in 1999 his plans to commence an effort to use space vehicles to transport people on a space joy ride. 

 

The plan is that rich people would be willing to lay out some big bucks to be able to take a space trip to the moon and back.  Actually, many would be excited just to make an orbit of earth.  John Glenn sold out his own conscious and integrity in Senate hearings to support Bill Clinton’s corruption--manifestly, in order to be allowed to take a shuttle ride (at his age 75 or so). 

 

In a more recent idea, the May 31, 2002, “The Week” (p. 14) had a news report from former astronaut Buzz Aldrin that he believes the colonization of Mars is inevitable.  Accordingly, Aldrin is designing an interplanetary bus that could be used to shuttle people back and forth between Earth and Mars.  The first shuttle bus could be operational by the year 2018. 

 

Smaller taxi vehicles would be used to carry people from the shuttle to points on Earth or on Mars. 

 

 

More Thinking 

 

Two men (one perhaps named Benson or something similar) were on the Art Bell Coast to Coast AM radio talk show on February 21, 2000, to discuss their plans to commence turning space into profits (actually to fulfill man’s greed, get and acquire). 

 

Not only do they have plans of sending people to the moon and/or Mars and back, but they are thinking about having space stations in earth orbit which will serve as space hotels.  Presumably, rich people can buy a ticket to one of these hotels and go there for a short vacation and then return back home. 

 

In the interim, these men spoke of being able to immediately offer space shots to take memorabilia and things into space to deposit them on the moon, Mars or somewhere else with the name of an earthling (this could be called a vanity shot).  In other words, pay a fee and these men will take a trinket with your name on it and deposit it in space somewhere.  Truly, this is a crazy manifestation of pride and vanity. 

 

 

Some Examples 

 

Actually, many of these ideas are already coming into being.  “Newsweek” (p. 40) of Apr 30, 2001, had a story on multi-millionaire Dennis Tito of Los Angeles, who paid the Russians $20 million for an eight day space trip on a Russian Soynz rocket and a rendezvous with the International Space Station.  Tito carried some baggage with many souvenirs and trinkets, which may make him a profit after his return to earth. 

 

Incidentally, as a side point here, the sexual pervert Michael Jackson has indicated his desire to pay the Russians $20 million to be able to travel on their Soynz rocket for a rendezvous with the International Space Station (May 24, 2002, “The Week,” p. 10). 

 

In order to help his chances, the semi-black Jackson has engaged the psychic Uri Geller to do something that might help Jackson’s chances.  It is unclear whether Geller is putting a so-called hex on the Russians or what. 

 

One more immediate possibility for profit and gain in space is to send a satellite in orbit around the moon or some other planet with a camera to take live pictures and send them back to earth.  If an earthling has a particular interest in some specific sites on the moon or on one of the planets, the camera can take pictures of it and return them to the interested party for a fee. 

 

There is also the likelihood of space billboards (like those on transit buses) which advertise various products on earth.  Apparently, the plan here would be to use cameras to take pictures of the space advertising and work it into camera feedback, coming to earth (as outlined above on live camera shots from space). 

 

 

Taxing Space 

 

Along with the commercialization of space, it would be logical and natural that the money hungry tax collectors would also focus their attention on space to see what revenues they can raise. 

 

And sure enough, this is happening right now.  “The Week” of Jul 20, 2001 (p. 4), said that Los Angeles County Assessor Rick Auerbach has proposed taxing eight earth satellites now in orbit 22,000 miles up--which were launched and owned by LA based Hughes Electronics. 

 

Clearly, there seems to be all kinds of things which can be done in space to make money.  Already, there are people looking at this insanity and speculating on what profits they can make.  But will YHWH sit back and allow men to exploit space, as they have exploited earth for profit and gain? 

 

 

Buying Space Land? 

 

The above quoted May 31, 2002, “The Week” (p. 10) also had another fascinating report on the intelligence of modern man.  This story said that the Lunar Embassy, a California Company, is selling lunar land at $27 an acre and the company is making a “fortune.” 

 

Dennis Hope, owner of the company, says that he has the right to sell the land under a loophole in the UN’s 1967 Outer Space Treaty which forbids governments from claiming the moon (but this treaty is silent about private owners; thus, Hope believes that he has a right to sell lunar land). 

 

More than 300,000 people have now bought land on the moon from Hope.  Evidently, they believe that they can one day go to the moon to claim their land--or alternatively, they enjoy being ripped off from a con man at $27 an acre. 

 

In the 18th century, Frederick the Great, the German leader, claimed ownership of the moon.  Reportedly, he gave it to the Juergens’ family, who now say that they own the moon.  Hope disputes the Juergens’ claim because they don’t have any paperwork on it. 

 

 

Madness 

 

In the great David Lean movie “Bridge on the River Kwai,” with William Holden, captured British soldiers undertook the task of building a proper bridge across the River Kwai for the Japanese Army in Burma in WWII.  A team of British commandos came and blew the bridge up.  A captured British Army Surgeon, Major Clifton, watched it all and said three times at the film’s end-- “Madness.”  Is man mad? 

 

Well obviously, as a minimum, modern man doesn’t know what he is doing or what will happen in his stupid projects.  Just as with HAARP and so many other ridiculous efforts, scientists will proceed shooting in the dark, merely to see what results they can achieve.  No wonder man faces his own extinction on this planet. 

 

Man is not only killing everything else on earth, but he is doing his level best to destroy himself. 

 

The ELOHIM must have had the stupidity of man in mind when Shlomo wrote that the ways of man are clean and right in his own eyes (Prov 16:2) and every way of man is right in his own eyes (Prov 21:2).  Surely, it is pride and vanity which propel men on in his supposed righteous and good state (in his own eyes). 

 

Like The MOST HIGH said long ago--man lacks the capacity to govern and guide his own foot steps (Jer 10:23).  No wonder all of us should pray daily that YHWH’s Kingdom will come soon and man’s misrule of this planet will end. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 271--Chem-Trails

 

 

The Chem-Trails, Revisited 

 

A preceding chapter on health discussed at some length the practice of someone (obviously, in the US government, as a part of some sort of a black, secret project) is spraying chemicals over some large part of the United States (and evidently some part of Europe as well).  As discussed in that chapter, there is some uncertainty of exactly what the real purpose or purposes of this effort might be. 

 

The present chapter will continue that discussion and discuss some possibly more sinister features of this spraying campaign. 

 

In broaching this topic, it must be recognized that in the early days of this spraying project specially equipped airplanes were used to continuously fly back and forth over the heavens to spray out volumes of these chemicals to actually create some type of a cloud cover (of deadly chemical poisons). 

 

In watching the spraying efforts in 2002-2003, in North Idaho, one still sees these aircraft involved in specifically spraying the heavens.  But increasingly, there is a subtle new feature.  Many (but not all, as of 2003) of the regular commercial jets are also now dispensing the same type of thick heavy chemicals which do not dissipate and vanish as traditionally happened with con-trails. 

 

As noted in the former discussion on chem-trails, there is some reason to believe that some commercial jets are also now in the same business of spreading chemicals around. 

 

This writer has heard or read some commentary on this subject which suggests that the US government has prescribed or is prescribing the addition of certain chemicals in jet fuel which makes some of the regular commercial jets dispensers of the chemical poisons which are being used for some ostensible purpose. 

 

In the 1990s, and indeed even in 2000, commercial jets simply did not emit these chemicals (they did dispense huge quantities of con-trails, however).  But increasingly, they are now spreading chemical poisons around with their regular con-trail emissions. 

 

At the moment, it would seem that all commercial jets are not doing this.  But some of them are.  Maybe the motion will increase in coming days.  If this spraying practice has been incorporated into the commercial airline operations, it will soon be evident that the heavens are going to be covered with these chemical pollutants.  Truly, this planet will become a totally polluted planet! 

 

In watching this wretchedness, one must recall YESHUA’s model prayer--that the Kingdom of The ELOHIM will come soon. 

 

 

Aluminum Oxide, Revisited 

 

The previous discussion broaching chem-trails focused on the health aspects of the problem and offered some ideas from William Thomas that aluminum oxide could be involved--in the sense of trying to create a shield to deflect some of the supposed warming aspects of sunlight. 

 

The work of Edward Teller and the Lawrence Livermore Laboratories in California were cited on the theory that aluminum oxide would be the answer to the so-called global warming problem (no one ever thought of or suggested that maybe people on earth might should start scaling back use of pollutants which could be causing the alleged global warming problems--to be described below). 

 

In the vein of another possible explanation for the huge spraying effort over  the United States and Europe, this writer read a report on the internet that the spraying was not an effort to reduce global warming; but instead, was an effort specifically designed to cause global warming. 

 

This approach has its basis in the possibility that the shield (of aluminum oxide and other chemicals) being created in the skies has as its purpose the creation of a envelope or canopy to trap heat internally on the surface of the earth and not allow it to escape into the atmosphere/space. 

 

This envelope and shield might be something in the context of the believed ancient canopy which covered earth to make it a tropical paradise with very little extremes in temperature and weather (in the pre-flood days, the evidence is that earth was covered with a water or ice canopy [much like Saturn] which regulated temperatures and weather extremes). 

 

Therefore, possibly the explanation for the spraying campaign might not be to reduce global warming; but rather, to cause global warming. 

 

While it might be theoretical that the purpose for such an effort could be a good one, there is also the possibility that the effort is a sinister one which is designed to cause global warming and climate problems which can contribute to the push for the New World Order and world government (which will be addressed in subsequent chapters herein). 

 

 

More From Science  

 

While there is some debate among observers on exactly what Big Brother is doing in spraying these long trails of something into the heavens, there is a recognition among most people, with brains above the idiot level, that whatever is happening, it isn’t good for so-called human beings (or for animals, fish, wildlife, birds, insects, oceans, rivers, streams, trees, grass or nature in any of its forms). 

 

Yet, so-called scientists have jumped into this thing and are attempting to do something which will ultimately prove to be harmful to all of us living on this planet. 

 

Actually, if these supposedly intelligent people are so concerned over the ozone hole (or holes), why don’t they just instead propose grounding the giant commercial airliners that are causing much of the problem?  This would be a simple solution.  But no one in authority would even talk about this prospect.  After all, the voting public would be in an uproar if airplanes were grounded. 

 

Too, if the scientists were concerned about global warming, they could solve much of the problem by outlawing gasoline combustion engines which are causing most of the global warming.  Yet, no one would even discuss this possibility (beyond Al Gore Jr and some of the fanatical environmentalists on the left). 

 

Instead of addressing the real problems and proposing bonafide solutions to cure the problems, modern scientists and government leaders have went off half-cocked with this hair-brained scheme of spraying the heavens with some kind of chemical or chemicals to ostensibly solve the stated problem or problems. 

 

Actually, all that these fools will do is further upset the delicate balance of nature that no one in authority even recognizes or understands.  Yes, there is a balance and a state of perfection in terms of how nature works.  When man does something to interfere in this balance and operation, what will be the result?  Does anyone know?  Does anyone care? 

 

 

Britain’s Work on Something   

 

The previously quoted Kurt Billings noted on the Art Bell program that the British sprayed a part of England years ago with a chemical which produced respiratory problems in the local population (actually affecting one million persons).  Although the British government subsequently admitted the action, they never fully explained what it was or what purpose it served or why it happened. 

 

The May 13, 2002, “American Free Press” (p. 2) had a news report on a recent news item from Britain which revealed that the British government had conducted more than 100 secret germ war experiments which exposed millions in Britain to harmful bacteria between 1940 and 1979.  Dangerous chemicals and bacteria were released into the population without telling the people. 

 

Between 1955 and 1963, airplanes flew across Britain dropping huge amounts of zinc cadmium sulfide on the population.  Cadmium is recognized as a cause of lung cancer and was considered a chemical weapon in WWII.  The British report said that military personnel were instructed to tell any “inquisitive inquirer” that the experiments were part of a research project on weather and air pollution. 

 

 

The British Supergerm 

 

While the above story suggested that the British experiments ended back in the 1970s, such appears to not be the case at all.  “The Washington Times” of Aug 9-15, 1999 (p. 24), had a story by Joe Murphy on “Supergerm is created for British defense” which focused upon current British work on creating lethal genetically modified (GM) organisms for use in warfare. 

 

Per the “Times” (quoting the “London Sunday Telegraph”), this work has been going on for the last five years.  Manifestly, this incredible effort is as tragic as setting off an atomic bomb on the moon, or the HAARP and Mini Big Bang projects (all of which were assessed in preceding commentary). 

 

Murphy said that genetic techniques can make biological weapons more dangerous to humans and less easy to detect and counter.  It is now possible to use genetic engineering to introduce a lethal toxin into a pathogen--an organism that attacks humans--to increase its killing potential.  Organisms can be modified to resist certain antidotes. 

 

The article suggested that in the future, it may be possible to wipe out an army with mutant germs that would be made benign with a genetic flaw, enabling an enemy force to invade a given area in safety. 

 

 

More Polluting Problems From the Heavens 

 

Preceding comments herein discussed the reality that modern man is now busy creating the technology and means to pollute and defile the heavens as much as humanly possible.  In this vein, the focus is on space hotels, billboards, advertising, commercial operations and on and on--at least in the immediate solar system.  However, that is only the beginnings of the effort to pollute the heavens. 

 

In March 2001, NASA and Russian scientists reported that the MIR space station would fall to earth soon with some mutant fungi which developed while the MIR was in orbit (discussed by Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM on Mar 12, 2001).  This fungi eats metal, glass and almost everything.  What would happen if it was transferred to earth as MIR came down? 

 

In another rather sickening instance, a family in Utah was on an outing on Mar 16, 2001.  They returned home that day to find that their house and yard had been showered vertically from space with human fecal matter (to include all kinds of bacteria, E-Coli, pathogens, etc, as determined by a laboratory analysis of the material). 

 

The best guess is that a passing airplane dumped its load of human fecal matter and it just happened that the dump came down on top of the Utah home (discussed by Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM on Mar 16, 2001).  Actually, this was not a totally new event.  Reportedly, it has happened before--though extremely rare. 

 

 

The Work of Israeli Scientists 

 

As mentioned previously, a strange little quirk surfaced in another news report from London on Nov 15, 1998, which said that Israeli scientists have been working on genetic research at the biological institute in Nes Tziyona.  The report said that they have identified a particular characteristic which is present in the genetic profile of certain Arab communities. 

 

With the identification of this factor, the research has continued to create a genetically modified bacterium or virus which would only attack those persons who had that particular gene.  The immediate subject of this research was ostensibly the people of Iraq. 

 

Otherwise, is it not quite manifest what can happen as this research continues?  Is it possible that the Israelis will turn their efforts against the entire Arab population to attempt a mass liquidation program? 

 

 

PNAC 

 

There is an Amalekite organized and led outfit called the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) which will be described in some detail in subsequent chapters herein.  While there is no intent or need to discuss this PNAC at this time, it is appropriate to visit their Sep 2000 report (as quoted in the Apr 2003 “Radio Liberty”)--viz: 

 

“Although it may take several decades for the process of transformation to unfold, in time, the art of warfare...will be vastly different than it is today...advanced forms of biological warfare that can ‘target’ specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.” 

 

For sure, some of this technology is probably now in the hands of the Amalekite bankers/masters.  Hence we can count upon it being used soon! 

 

Could the place be reached where a virus could kill all true Israelites which have a certain genetic disposition? 

 

Satan and his Amalek-Edomite henchmen have worked for ages to destroy Yisrael and currently they are using the scheme of interracial sex--especially with the behemah to destroy Yisrael.  But with this geno-technology, the Amalekites could very easily accomplish their goal with one big effort. 

 

 

The Future 

 

What will lie ahead with this new genetic research?  Probably, no one knows for sure what the future will hold on this path, but the signs are extremely ominous and dangerous for any class of people who do not toe the line properly, as established by the coming world rulers.  People are going to have to be politically correct globally or face extinction. 

 

Ultimately (within 5-10 years, per the cited London article; but more likely right now, per comments made by Kurt Billings in connection with the chem-trails of aircraft as outlined in the former chapter on the health aspects of chem-trails), it is possible right now to develop an organism that will attack certain genes of a certain population (in the sense of an ethnic or racial destruction germ). 

 

As just noted above, the Israelis are working on such germs for use against the Arabs.  Thus, there is a good possibility that man has already developed agents which will attack certain genetic profiles while ignoring others. 

 

In order to destroy the physical descendants of Yisrael, suppose a diabolical power, like the Amalekite bankers/masters, gained possession of such weapons.  Would the Amalekites use such a weapon on Israelites or are they so lily-white in morals and integrity that the thought would never enter their minds?  This should be an easy question to answer. 

 

When one adds in the extreme ease that a flying airplane would have in dispensing such a germ (as discussed above), it is evident that trouble can be on the immediate horizon for any number of racial or ethnic classifications.  YHWH YESHUA needs to come soon.  Otherwise, whole groups of people may be wiped out. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 272--Climate and Weather Modification

 

 

Climate and Weather 

 

In the context of air pollution, there is furthermore the broader situation with climate, temperature, precipitation, and weather that can be impacted in ways similar to the previously described water question.  CFCs and air pollution in general, discussed in a former chapter, could be adversely affecting climate and weather in a significant fashion. 

 

Of course, climate and weather changes are also probably underway because of man’s constant efforts to modify and change weather patterns.  It seems that “scientists” periodically seed clouds to try to create rain or they sometimes drop chemicals and poisons into hurricanes, ostensibly to try to turn them. 

 

Reports have additionally surfaced that some scientists (Russians, in particular, but also the US as well) have tried to use electronic methods for weather modification (often, by bombarding the heavens with radio and various high/low frequency waves--like in the previously discussed US HAARP project in Alaska, which is bombarding the heavens with electromagnetic energy). 

 

No one knows for sure what the total impact will be on the climatic environment and man’s frequent efforts to change it.  But the handwriting is on the wall.  Already, there are increasing reports of violent storms, killer tornadoes, horrible hurricanes, large floods, etc. 

 

Could there be a linkage between this upset weather and man’s constant efforts to tamper with it by seeding clouds and the electronic bombardment of the atmosphere (again, like in the HAARP weather alteration project)?  Could be! 

 

 

Samples 

 

For example, “Time” magazine of January 26, 1981, called it “weather gone wild.”  “US News & World Report” (USNWR) of August 9, 1999 (p. 25), labeled the 1999 summer as “Weird weather patterns prevail.”  USNWR of Feb 5, 2001, had the words “Scary Weather” on its front cover. 

 

Enormous storms and even powerful winds from 100 to 150 miles per hour now seem common in many areas (beyond just during typhoons and hurricanes). 

 

The winter of 1999-2000 saw gigantic storms with winds over 100 miles an hour strike parts of Europe.  Scotland and France were both hit hard.  Two wind storms hitting France knocked down some 300 million trees--which was described as a natural disaster (discussed on the Art Bell Coast to Coast AM radio talk show on Jan 5, 2000). 

 

The first week of May 1999, killer tornadoes struck Oklahoma, Kansas and Tennessee, en masse (and again in May 2003).  Rush Limbaugh, on his talk show, called them “acts of God.”  A news reporter talked to a small boy in Oklahoma who asked why would “God” do this to people. 

 

Can ignorant humans ever put two and two together and understand that maybe The MOST HIGH is not the problem.  Maybe the problem is because of the acts of man, in the context of cause and effect--like perhaps in bombarding the heavens (as in HAARP).  Sun worshipping men are tampering with things which they simply don’t understand. 

 

 

The Drought Crisis 

 

Disaster could be knocking at the door.  If and when the age end prophesied droughts do occur, be assured that much of earth will be faced with food shortages and ultimately famine.  Many will die!  Such a drought could be at hand because a news report on December 15, 1998, said that scientists expect a 1930s style drought within the next two years. 

 

Assuredly, serious droughts are coming because The MOST HIGH has predicted them repeatedly in His Word (as noted earlier).  Perhaps the best illustration of a coming drought on the House of Yisrael surfaces in Leviticus 26:19-20--which opens the second phase of the prophesied punishment upon the House of Yisrael for sin.  This coming drought is repeated in Deuteronomy 28:23-24. 

 

With the evidence of the commencement of Yakov’s seven years of trouble, by Yechezkel’s 30th or 31st year (as described earlier herein), it is a certainty that the House of Yisrael will be in a significant drought starting then or soon thereafter.  It will surely continue until the House of Yisrael is destroyed in Yechezkel’s 33d year, paralleling or following 390 days of siege.  This coming drought is detailed in Appendices D and E. 

 

 

The 2000 Reality 

 

Besides the prediction of drought, noted above, in December 1998, there have been several other such predictions in the late 20th and early 21st centuries (as covered in Appendices D and E).  Suffice to say, with the arrival of the late spring of 2000, a significant drought started developing across much of America. 

 

These lines are being written in the year 2003, and already a terrible drought covered much of the US in the years 2000 to 2003.  Some say that the drought was worse in those times than the seven years of drought in the 1980s and the serious droughts of the 1930s and early 1950s. 

 

When rain did come (like from Hurricanes and storms), it came in a flood (which ran off and did little good for the ground).  Consequently, the US was in trouble in the late summer and early fall of 2000.  For example, North Texas went without rain for 84 days (a little moisture came on Sep 24, 2000). 

 

Along with the drought in 2000, wild fires broke out all over the American West.  The dry condition there has been a tinder box, ready to explode without much provocation.  Lighting storms and human carelessness were hard on America (the situation of government bungling at Los Alamos is mentioned elsewhere herein). 

 

The fires were especially bad in Montana and the whole state was declared a disaster area in late August 2000.  The governor of Idaho also requested that the federal government designate the entire state of Idaho a disaster area, as well, because of wild fires.  Huge areas in Oklahoma, Texas and elsewhere in the US were also declared disaster areas because of drought conditions. 

 

Montana was out $125 million fighting fires through August 2000.  In August, she was spending $3 million a day to fight fires.  The federal government spent around one billion dollars in its fire fighting efforts in 2000. 

 

Numerous military forces were employed in fire fighting as millions and millions of forest land went up in flames.  Sometimes, the skies were filled with smoke and fumes (which created a haze and acted to cover sun and moon light--this sounds much like the predictions in Revelation 6:12). 

 

 

2001-2002 

 

In March 2001, the Governor of Washington state, Gary Locke, declared a drought emergency for his state.  It seems that the entire Pacific Northwest had a dry winter with a shortage of moisture.  The snow pack in the mountains was extremely low which meant that 2001 was to be another year of drought and many wild fires (which came true in the summer and early fall of 2001, as fires covered parts of the West). 

 

Early 2002 started off in the same pattern with at least half of the United States in a drought pattern.  The April 8, 2002, “Time” magazine (p. 20) had a map of the US under a headline which said:  “A Nation in Need of April Showers.”   This map showed the presence of a drought across the Eastern seaboard and in much of the West (except for the Pacific Northwest which had had some moisture in 2002). 

 

As the summer of 2002 developed, it seemed that the Pacific Northwest and some other North-Central US and Southern Canada areas had a large supply of rainfall (sometimes with flooding) while much of the Southern US and particularly the Southern Rockies and Plains had almost no rainfall.  Thus, one city had excessive rain or flooding while another city had a drought. 

 

This presentation suggests that parts of the US have rain while other parts are in severe drought.  This is an interesting phenomenon as will be broached in later chapters and in Appendices D and E.  It possibly is offering some important prophetic implications.   For sure, this drought, especially in the West, spelled out a very troubling fire season. 

 

In fact, news reports as early as April 7, 2002, noted some serious fires already in the West.  By the time that summer arrived in late June 2002, huge fires had consumed vast tracts of land (hundreds of thousands of acres) in parts of the dry West--like in California, Colorado and Arizona.  One fire near Denver was the largest fire ever in Colorado history. 

 

A follow-up on the 2002 drought and fire crisis appeared in the Sep 14, 2002, “Spokane Spokesman-Review” (p. A3), in an AP story on “Drought affects half of nation.”  This report claimed that through August, the summer was the third hottest on record and that the drought affected some 45% of the country. 

 

The heat and drought conditions reportedly contributed to fires which destroyed six million acres of forestry (an area the size of New Hampshire).  The 2002 loss, through August, was double the size of what the annual fire losses should be. 

 

So far, man has had all kinds of excuses for the drought and fires.  Perhaps the most notable one of all has been that the drought has been caused by global warming.  While this suggestion does have merit, this writer would only go on to posit a possible connection to the HAARP project, described in former chapters. 

 

Along with the insanity of bombarding the heavens with massive amounts of electro-magnetic energy, it might also be possible that man has stupidly seeded too many clouds and tried to turn too many hurricanes and storms over the years.  It is plausible that every time man does something foolish to the heavens, he is inviting later climate and weather changes down the road. 

 

 

Another Possibility 

 

There is another factor at work here which could also be playing a primary role in the creation of these droughts.  This writer cannot be dogmatic on this possibility, but it must be mentioned in the realm of this discussion on droughts. 

 

Former chapters herein offered a lengthy discussion on the chem-trail phenomenon which has been surfacing in the last several years over parts of the United States and Canada.  While there are several plausible reasons for this development, the conclusion has to be that the effort is a black government project which involves the dispensing of chemicals into the heavens for some alleged purpose. 

 

As pointed out in this previous commentary, this writer has seen these chem-trail releases in both Eastern Washington and North and North-Central Idaho.  Maybe not all areas of the United States has seen this work, but it is very obvious and prevalent here in the Pacific Northwest. 

 

Calder, Idaho is about 25 miles East of St Maries, Idaho and perhaps a little over 100 miles Southeast of Spokane, Washington.  This area of Idaho seems to have had an inordinate presence of these chemicals starting in the fall and early winter of 2001 until the present time in 2003. 

 

Along with the frequent appearance of these aircraft spraying the heavens with who knows what, there has been a simultaneous increase in rain, snow and moisture--starting in the fall of 2001 and continuing on into 2003. 

 

While this area of the Pacific Northwest is noted for some moisture and heavy snows in the winters, dry weather normally sets in during the spring.  But the year of 2003 seems to have been different in that dry weather didn’t come (at least not through the spring of 2003).  For sure, the ground was soaked in the spring of 2003 and there was some potential for flooding. 

 

Anyway, the thought struck this writer that perhaps there is some linkage between the chem-trail sprays and the very wet weather that the Pacific Northwest has been having these years in contrast to the extraordinary drought occurring East of the Continental Divide. 

 

For example, it is a fact of reality that rain is a natural method of trying to clean the heavens and the earth.  If US airplanes are dumping huge quantities of chemical poisons into the atmosphere, is it possible that nature is increasing the flow of moisture to try to clean the heavens up? 

 

If so, is it not likely that an imbalance in rain surfaces across the North American continent?  So, if there are huge rainfall patterns in some area, is it not possible that serious droughts will materialize in other areas?  

 

 

More on the Climate and Weather Impact 

 

One of the fall-outs of air pollution and weather modification schemes is the evidence for climate and temperature alterations.  Right now, as these lines are being written, planet earth is in the process of an apparently profound climatic change (as briefly mentioned in preceding comments). 

 

This situation has precipitated the present fanaticism over so-called global warming, as the pundits and national leaders continue to argue and preach.  As a plus for their argument on global warming, a strange thing happened in the late 20th century when some portions of the ice shelves of Antarctica (like the Larsen) dropped off into the nearby ocean and began to melt. 

 

In early 2002, a block of ice the size of Rhode Island broke off of the floating ice fringe of Antarctica (Mar 22, 2002, “The Week,” p. 4).  Supposedly, this shelf had been there for thousands of years. 

 

A Jan 3, 2003, AP report by Paul Recer in the Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. B3) said that the “Antarctic ice sheet could disappear, raising sea levels by 16 feet, study finds.” 

 

Per Recer, the Antarctic ice sheet covering the continental mass (the size of Texas and Colorado) is slowly and continuously melting.  The basis of this claim was a study done at the University of Washington.  The report said that over thousands of years, the ice is retreating at about two inches per year.  Within 7,000 years more, it will all be gone--per the study. 

 

 

More 

 

Also, the late summer and fall of 1998 had reports of ice meltings in the Arctic Ocean and especially near Canada.  Experiments conducted in 1999 in the Arctic Ocean suggest that the great Northern ice shelf is melting significantly.  Supposedly, the ice portions in the ocean are melting below sea level.  In other words, the ice thickness has went down dramatically in the last few years. 

 

A BBC news report on Sep 15, 1999, quoted scientists as saying that with global warming, the seas will rise so high that they will swallow up whole islands and coastal areas (Nov/Dec 1999 “Prophecy Club Newsletter,” p. 6).  Such an event could easily be an ante-type or the actual fulfillment of one of the natural disasters described in the Revelation. 

 

An August 2000 news report said that some of the ice at the North Pole had melted.  Supposedly, there is a large area there of nothing but open water (as will be further described in a subsequent chapter herein). 

 

As late as Sep 5, 2001, news reports said that scientists studying satellite photos believe that there is a strange change in the colors of earth.  For one thing, there seems to be more greening in some Northern areas, like Central Asia (possibly from the increased earth warming).  Some biologists are concerned that the ecology associated with plants and animals may be adversely impacted. 

 

While the outcome of this recent warming surge is unclear, this writer is wondering if The MOST HIGH is behind it in some way--perhaps the glaciers on Mount Ararat will melt sufficiently that Noah’s ark may be revealed, as a great age ending witness to man before the age terminates (as elsewhere commented upon). 

 

 

It Proves Nothing! 

 

While world leaders have accepted these events as proving global warming, this writer took the stance that they proved nothing.  The Pacific had just completed a year and a half or so of El Nino where the ocean there actually warmed up substantially.  Then there was the related La Nina causing storms on the mainland. 

 

According to weather scientists of some years ago, the El Nino and La Nina events occurred about every seven years.  Supposedly, the geographical impact of the phenomena was that the El Nino warm currant historically struck the coast of Ecuador (in South America) and South to Peru. 

 

But all of this started changing ten or so years ago as the pattern started hitting the North American coast.  Moreover, the phenomenons in the late 20th century (apparently, from about 1998 to 2001) proved to be extraordinarily long in duration.  It clearly was the fall and winter of 2001-2002 before things seemed to return to normal from the 1998-2001 storms (at least, in the Pacific Northwest). 

 

Now, it appears that after one year of normal weather, the El Nino event returned in the fall of 2002.  The Feb 2002 “Philadelphia Trumpet” (p. 15) had a news report which said that the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) expected El Nino to be back in late 2002.  It was expected to hit the Pacific Northwest first. 

 

As the article stated, the El Nino phenomenon brings devastating droughts, fires, floods, mudslides and ice storms.  So it looks like the interval between the event seems to be growing shorter and shorter, and the impact seems to be moving further and further North.  Americans may now be down to only one year’s reprieve before the tragedy strikes again. 

 

No one in the public forum seems to be sure why this El Nino phenomenon periodically happens.  But this writer would wonder if it links in some way to underwater volcanoes or heat fissures in the ocean floor or some man-made initiative. 

 

In support of the idea of a man-made cause on the intensification of El Nino, the previously quoted Dr Len Horowitz (in his Prophecy Club video on “Star Wars Weapons and End Time Warfare”) links the El Nino warming effect in the Pacific Ocean to the giant HAARP project underway in Alaska (as outlined in former comments herein). 

 

Horowitz says that in making the blast of electro-magnetic energy into the heavens, these waves strike the ionosphere and reflect back to earth.  He says that they can be and are presently being directed into the South Pacific Ocean where they warm the water (which produces the El Nino effect). 

 

In the vein that the so-called scientists managing the HAARP project can direct those waves of energy in any direction and for almost any conceivable purpose (like mind control or even population reduction), it is plausible that indeed the effort is now being used to create the El Nino weather phenomenon that seems to be occurring with some frequency. 

 

With this awesome methodology of altering climate and weather patterns, just think what this technology would do in the hands of the super rich world ruling plutocrats who are constantly milking the stock, financial and derivities’ markets (and the purchase or sale of commodity contracts) to make ever more and larger piles of money (the plutocratic rule of the capitalist West will be addressed in later chapters). 

 

Moreover, in terms of creating an environmental crisis (as supposedly present in the reported earth-warming scenario), is it possible that the very people who are most anxious to install a one-world government are precisely the people who are using the technology of projects like HAARP to purposely cause a warming of the earth and an environmental crisis specifically to promote world government? 

 

 

More Things Happening 

 

Also, there is some evidence that the sun itself has been heating up considerably with giant flares and eruptions--particularly in 1999 (although there was a strange occurrence on May 11, 1999, when the usual solar winds mysteriously seemed to decrease by 98% for that day).  No one in the scientific community seems to know for sure about what all is happening with the sun. 

 

There are a number of man-made satellites in orbit around the sun which supposedly monitor it, but man still doesn’t understand it or what all is going on with it.  Per some remarks coming in later chapters, the sun will nova in the age end (probably it will start to nova in Yechezkel’s 37th-41st years).  This event could be causing some increased heating on earth (to be shortly assessed). 

 

In any case, the Antarctica and Arctic Ocean melts correctly remained question marks.  Perhaps the nearby El Nino waters did indeed warm up; thus precipitating some of these events in some way.  And while such a warming could cause a loss of some of Antarctica’s glaciers protruding into the waters, it is still questionable to what extent the ice was otherwise accumulating vertically on the continent itself. 

 

Regardless of this recent Antarctica phenomenon, the view of this writer is that the earth is cooling long term for a new ice age; although it is more probable that it is both cooling and warming presently--depending upon what measurements are made and based upon what criteria is used and where they are made. 

 

For instance, despite the warming in 1998 to 2000, things changed in the winter of 2001-2002 when some cold weather returned across parts of the United States.  There was some heavy snowfall in some areas, but it was somewhat dry in others  Thus, part of the US was dry and part wet.  It proved to be a strange winter weather-wise. 

 

 

Pleasant Weather Now History? 

 

Moreover, there is every reason to believe that the former wonderful times of pleasant weather associated with spring and fall seems to be disappearing.  In place of three months each of marvelous springs and falls, it too often now seems that most areas only have one to four weeks each of spring and fall. 

 

It appears that frequently people are thrust immediately into five months of a long, cold, hard winter to be followed by a short spring and then five months of a long, hot summer to be followed by a short fall and then back to another long, cold, hard winter.  Alternatively, some areas have little semblance of winter or summer with a narrow range of temperatures from El Nino (warm winters) and La Nina (cool summers). 

 

Based on the Word, serious droughts are clearly on the horizon and especially for the House of Yisrael nations.  Couple such droughts with increasingly shorter agricultural growing seasons (yes, warm springs are being delayed annually over time while fall frosts are coming earlier over time) and it is evident that famine is on the horizon. 

 

The point of this is that man continues to pollute and defile the air and even insanely tries to seed clouds and bombard the heavens with electronic warfare never understanding that he can be creating a coming weather and climate catastrophe.  When the crisis strikes, which national leader will stand up and say “we caused it.”  None, of course!  Will man ever understand the principles of cause and effect? 

 

 

A Look at Some History 

 

For some years, this writer lived and worked on Saipan Island in the North Pacific, as noted earlier.  One of the weather problems which is increasingly affecting the people there is the presence of dangerous typhoons (called hurricanes off of North America, but typhoons when they blow East into Asia). 

 

Upon my first arrival in Saipan in 1979, typhoons seemed to strike about once every year or so.  Slowly, since then, their frequency has increased.  By 1994, when i was last there, typhoons were hitting Saipan at a rate of about three or four per year.  And this does not include all of the warnings for typhoons which by-passed Saipan. 

 

One of the interesting things about talking to some of the older Saipanese people is their beliefs and ideas on the typhoons.  Most of the older or elderly Saipanese will categorically affirm that many years ago, typhoons were fairly rare--perhaps only one striking Saipan every ten years or so.  Apparently, in the real old days before WWII, they hit less frequently, like maybe one or two every thirty years. 

 

But almost without exception, these older persons believe that the increase came in the 1950s when the US began conducting nuclear bomb tests in the Marshall Islands of the Pacific.  While most Saipanese cannot agree on an exact year for the change, they agree that the 1950s was a decade of change with typhoons becoming far more common. 

 

This writer would not dare try to pick an exact date in the 1950s for the beginning of a enormous transition in climate and weather, but that decade seems to be the start of it.  Certainly, from 1960 on forward, weather problems have become quite dramatic--all over the world. 

 

 

Tornadoes and Hurricanes 

 

This writer was born in 1934 and grew up in the so-called tornado ally of Central Oklahoma.  It is true that there was an occasional tornado in the states of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.  But they were not extremely common.  In the years of my childhood, i only remember a couple of them hitting in Oklahoma (before 1950). 

 

However, since the 1950s, all this was to change.  Now, killer tornadoes (as mentioned earlier) are fairly common and routine in the Southern Great Plains states.  Not only does Oklahoma have tornadoes regularly, but they have been occurring from time to time all over America (to include the Pacific Northwest). 

 

Even Salt Lake City and Alaska have had rare tornadoes in 1999.  On November 26, 1999, a tornado struck Chester County, Pennsylvania--which was rare in terms of both geography and timing.  Before the fifties, tornadoes like these were unheard of. 

 

Hurricanes along the Gulf Coast and Eastern seaboard of the US are in about the same category.  Late November 1999 saw still one more powerful hurricane come out of the Caribbean (which was extremely late in the season).  True, there were a few hurricanes in the old days.  But starting in the 1950s, things began to change--slowly, but steadily.  Today, a typical hurricane season will see three or more strike the US. 

 

Manifestly, something is happening to cause this enormous outbreak of violent weather reactions and apparently since the 1950s (although the case can probably be made that the change really started after WWII).  Undoubtedly, man is responsible for this change. 

 

Perhaps part of it is air pollution in general.  And certainly, cloud seeding projects, HAARP and other weather modification efforts are playing a major role in bringing havoc on man.  To show the utter stupidity of modern man, scientists now have US Air Force airplanes fly into hurricanes and drop chemicals into them in an effort to turn them. 

 

Will sinning man ever learn to leave nature alone?  No wonder the model prayer taught by YESHUA to His disciples contains an injunction to pray that YHWH’s Kingdom will come soon.  We desperately need The ELOHIM’s government, before stupid and evil men kill and destroy everything on this planet. 

 

 

The Survival of Civilization 

 

Back in 1982, two scientists named John D. Hamaker and Donald A. Weaver published a book called “The Survival of Civilization” which assessed what was then going on in the climate-weather field.  These two men understood all the speculations about the greenhouse effects from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but took a different stance on what the outcome would ultimately be. 

 

Hamaker and Weaver noted that the resulting air pollution would bring about more rain (obviously, the rain cleans the air; so more dirty and defiled air will cause more rain to surface more often in nature’s effort to try to clean the air).  More rain manifestly means more rain clouds and less sun shine falling on earth in the Northern Hemisphere where the pollution problems primarily reside. 

 

With more clouds and moisture and less sun shine, winters will become more severe and produce more snow--which will accumulate and eventually fail to melt (starting at the higher elevations).  When snow does not melt, it becomes a glacier.  Thus, a new ice age would be born. 

 

The book under discussion reported several things in 1982 which indeed did suggest that the earth was actually cooling and not warming.  As commented upon elsewhere in this production, the ice on Greenland has increased dramatically since WWII.  More importantly, the US growing seasons are decreasing appreciably as the frosts come earlier in the fall and last longer into the spring. 

 

These two authors noted the growing increase in CO2 and speculated that the crisis would come in the late 1980s or early 1990s.  Well, it never happened. 

 

Instead, earth seemed to be melting ice at the poles in the late 20th century, as commented upon in previous remarks.  Hamaker and Weaver’s predictions were quickly thrown on the wayside.  But their thinking did not totally die out. 

 

 

Art Bell, Revisited   

 

The Art Bell Coast to Coast AM radio talk show program had Whitley Strieber on December 15, 1999, to discuss the upset weather and climate patterns and what might be happening.  Both Bell and Strieber have individually and jointly published several books over the years which have addressed the problem to some extent. 

 

The two men have recently written a book on “The Coming Global Super Storm,” which seems to present some possible explanations on what might be going on.  Like many people now realize, the two men noted that planet earth is in the throes of a gigantic climatic change.  For sure, things will never be the same. 

 

Also, like Hamaker and Weaver have predicted, Bell and Strieber suggest that a coming great ice age is on the horizon for the future over much of the Northern Hemisphere.  They recognize that earth has been warming considerably in the last several years, due in part to the accumulation of greenhouse gases from primarily the burning of fossil fuels. 

 

But they say that a flip to a cooling or a new ice age can be rapid or an almost instant event, based on several things now in progress.  In the context of what is happening, they suggest that the change is now going on and that powerful storms and great winds will soon combine with awesome snow storms to really upset things--especially in the Northern Hemisphere. 

 

The basis of their book is far more complicated than what Hamaker and Weaver postulated in 1982.  Bell and Strieber both understand the effects of CO2 and recognize that it is causing a warming in the troposphere (the lower atmosphere, up to about 8 to 10 miles high).  But they project that beyond the troposphere (like into the stratosphere and ionosphere), the atmosphere is much colder. 

 

Therefore, there seems to be an appreciable temperature difference between the troposphere and the higher stratosphere.  As the two men see it, this sharp temperature differential and polarization will clash in some way to produce climatic changes on earth. 

 

 

Changing the Atlantic? 

 

Bell and Strieber also went on to note that there is presently evidence that the great North Atlantic Ocean currant seems to be in the process of changing.  A follow up report was in the April 1, 2002, “US News & World Report” (p. 64) which offered a story by Charles Petit on “Perilous Waters” that addressed this question. 

 

Scientists think that massive quantities of fresh water have been pouring into the North Atlantic (possibly from rivers or melting ice).  Possibly, this massive inflow of fresh water may upset the salt balance and lead to a change in the Atlantic dift.  If this process proceeds, it could bring dramatic and instant climate change to much of the world. 

 

It is this Atlantic currant which brings warm waters into Western Europe and allows some of its mild temperatures.  If this currant does change (as appeared to be happening in late 1999), Europe will thrust itself into an ice age. 

 

When one adds in HAARP’s bombardment of the heavens, El Nino, La Nina, volcanic eruptions, increasing CO2 levels in the troposphere and so forth, it is plain to see that trouble is on the immediate horizon. 

 

 

More From Bell 

 

Art Bell discussed the problem and why nothing will be done about it.  Bell succinctly put the dilemma in one word--money.  Nothing moves man in the collective sense except man’s inherent greed for money, in the context of profits and gain.  If there was profit or gain involved, man would tackle the problem head-on immediately. 

 

Bell noted the situation in Brazil, with the great tropical rain-forests, which are being destroyed rapidly with each passing day.  Commercial and agricultural interests come along and rape the new virgin soil.   And after it is exhausted and depleted, they move on to new virgin soil. 

 

The same thing happened in early America, as there was always new virgin soils to the West which could be cleared for farming. 

 

There are now large tracts of exploited and depleted lands in several areas in Brazil.  Yet, no one expresses any interest, care or concern about going into them to restore and rebuild them into productive agricultural lands.  The reasons for abandoning them, in preference to clearing the jungles, are because of costs and profits.  It’s cheaper to abandon them and move on to new lands than to restore the burnt out ones.  

 

Probably, this would be the place to repeat a quotation from an acquaintance of this writer a few years ago on the question of the efforts of hunters to kill migrating ducks.  The question can be asked--when will man stop killing the migrating ducks?  Why, the answer is simple.  Man will stop when all the ducks are dead. 

 

There is some analogy here in respect to the great rain-forests around the world.  When will man stop destroying them?  Of course, man will stop when they are all gone and are no more. 

 

Perhaps someone may try here to bring up the situation with the US forests--some of which are not being destroyed presently (though many Americans would like to destroy them right now, but are only held back by the fanatical environmentalists and the government).  The “why” on this present limitation will be addressed in a future chapter on the environment and the ruling plutocrats

 

 

The Word 

 

The writer of this study at hand is in basic agreement with all four of the above authors that earth seems to be moving into a new ice age.  Some years ago, the CIA published a study which predicted a new ice age. 

 

More recently, in early 2001, scientists at the University of Virginia have warned of a global cooling, with colder winters and shorter growing seasons (Mar 19, 2001, “Spotlight,” p. 2). 

 

And a new ice age would surely happen soon were it not for one variable which most people now overlook.  The sun is preparing to nova (as briefly mentioned earlier and as will be described in some detail in a succeeding chapter).  This will be one of the most extraordinary and awesome events in nature to have ever taken place in the solar system and as affecting earth. 

 

In this context, the sun will grow seven times hotter and scorch men on earth, as the Word says (Isa 30:26; Rev 16:8-9).  At that time or before (if the sun begins heating up earlier, as is possible), there will be much heat on earth. 

 

Already, the sun seems to be growing smaller and smaller in size each day and getting brighter and brighter as it prepares to nova (per Walt Myers, “Technology and the Mark of the Beast” video).  So it is plausible that man will face some warmer temperatures for some time as the nova approaches. 

 

With the death of the sun, earth can become much colder immediately (Isa 9:19; 13:10; 24:23; Joel 2:30-31; 3:14-15; Amos 5:18-20; Matt 24:29).  The James Griffin translation gives Zechariah 14:6 as “In that day, there will be no light and it will be cold--Freezing!”  Then, YHWH will be the light (Isa 60:19-20; Jo 1:4; Rev 22:5;). 

 

Apparently, the start of the nova of the sun and the source of light may occur in Yechezkel’s 37th year or within a few years thereafter (which is right at the doorstep). 

 

 

Dissent From Ignorance 

 

Having described the realities of pollution, it should be noted that there is a lot of dissent and disagreement on environmental pollution among scientists and intellectually honest observers.  If environmental pollution is clearly as manifest as outlined in this study, why do honest people continue to disagree on the obvious. 

 

This paradox can be explained when one realizes that the subject of environmental pollution is extremely complex, primarily because so much is theoretical and something which has not been extensively measured by man from actual observation and experience. 

 

In short, sun worshipping man is extremely ignorant about nature and how it really works.  Nature is far more complicated and involved than anything man can conceptually address.  Man is very proud and believes that he knows everything.  But there are definite limitations in man’s knowledge and understanding. 

 

 

Water Cleans

 

Take the case of a small stream in any place around the world.  In terms of nature, a small creek can handle some presence of pollution without causing any permanent effects or destruction. 

 

Thus, one human might urinate in the creek and the motion of the waters would distribute the urine and render it harmless.  But trouble erupts when thousands of people flush toilets all at once into the small stream. 

 

For some interesting reason, the motion of water seems to clean up many pollutants.  Hence, a number of polluting poisons or agents might be added in some small portion to the creek without causing ultimate destruction. 

 

 

Point of No Return

 

Of course, the continued addition of given pollutants (like the fecal matter of thousands of toilets or quantities of chemical poisons) eventually causes what is perceived as permanent damage or destruction. 

 

It is also true that some creeks and water ways can reach a point of supposed destruction and yet rebound to life if the pollution is stopped.  Why is this so?  It can happen because there is a cycle of water (rain) which comes down on earth to clean the air and even the land and creeks in terms of runoff (this is one reason why floods have been so bad--the air is extremely polluted and nature is trying to clean it up). 

 

If this “clean” rain reaches the creek, it will clean up the pollutants and wash them away down the drain system. 

 

In this sense, the creek can often be restored to life, complete with eatable fish (depending upon the extent and type of pollution present).  But for this process to materialize, nature has to supply the clean rain and man must stop the pollution. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 273--The Pollution Crisis

 

 

The Oceans, Revisited 

 

Question--what happens to all of the sewage and poisons that run down the water ways of creeks, rivers and streams (as cited in the former chapters)?  Answer--they eventually are permanently deposited in the great oceans.  There they stay because there is no further run-off.  In other words, the oceans are the final depositories or cesspools for all of the pollutants which are dumped into the water ways. 

 

There is a natural cycle where water evaporates from the oceans to return to cause rain over other portions of earth.  But much of the pollutants have and will settle as sediments in the ocean floors.  This has to be one of the most significant and potentially disastrous features of water pollution. 

 

The question must arise on how much pollution can the oceans take before they die, like the before mentioned small creek?  Well, man doesn’t have the foggiest notion on answering that question because he has never seen or observed the death of any one of the great oceans. 

 

Man is aware of the cycle and has observed huge quantities of pollutants reaching the oceans, and they still seem to be alive--although questions are beginning to now surface over the growing mass deaths of fish and gross suicides of sick whales who beach themselves.  As also outlined earlier, the North Atlantic currant seems to be changing (for some reason) to further complicate things. 

 

The problem is when will the point of no return be reached when the oceans can take no more?  When that point is reached, nature will be profoundly affected.  For sure, all ocean plankton will die and the earth’s population will lose the source of much of its fresh new oxygen supply.  Will the rain and water circulation system stop or be altered in some manner? 

 

Who knows what will happen?  The answer is no one knows for sure since the whole topic is one of theory and speculation.  In other words, man is tampering with something he simply doesn’t understand (because of an apparent lack of empirical data and information).  It’s far more complex and involved than what anyone can ever perceive. 

 

 

Another Dilemma! 

 

Since there is so much profound ignorance and uncertainty in most aspects of environmental pollution, it gives rise to honest differences of opinions among many scientists and lay people alike.  Sun worshipping men are speculating and guessing to some extent on subjects which they really lack absolute information on. 

 

One can particularly see this confusion in the context of foods and drugs dispensed to ignorant humans/humanoids.  Previous comments herein focused on what is now happening to animals destined for slaughter or for producing milk and eggs. 

 

The point was made that the animal factories are now feeding the remains of dead animals, manure, cardboard, newspapers, etc to animals--like feedlot cattle destined for hamburgers. 

 

This practice made a number of observers start to raise questions over the insanity of this profit making scheme (including the formerly mentioned Oprah Winfrey).  The big (fat cat) cattle producers responded by pressuring the states to start making it a crime to criticize the food being sold to the public in the local super markets. 

 

Some 13 states did this in 1997 and more are in the process of enacting such laws.  Thus, if people speak out, they must be prepared to furnish “proof” of their allegations or face being criminals in the state involved or being libelous in other states. 

 

 

The Meat Problem Persists 

 

Moreover, in the case of manure and dead animals being fed to other animals destined for human food (as just cited and outlined in a former chapter), it should not be too complicated to figure out that there must be something inherently wrong with this practice.  However, as just noted, man never understands. 

 

Anyone above the moron level should be able to put two and two together and realize that trouble can be on the horizon.  Yet, the states pass laws to prohibit this thinking. 

 

In other words, the animal factories will be allowed to continue with their so-called profit making schemes, based on unlimited human greed, without fear of opposition (which is being silenced by the state under color of law).  The ultimate downside is that the Christian, sun worship culture will learn some more hard truth through eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 

 

 

Men Learn From the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil 

 

Question--how do you prove something which man has not yet established through de-facto studies covering years of experience (remember--man learns by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and not from the tree of life or YHWH’s Word)? 

 

True, forty years from now, the data might be in to prove how utterly stupid this insanity is.  But what about now?  That was the historical problem over asbestos after WWII, over diethylstilbestrol or DES in 1940 and over thalidomide in 1957. 

 

All of these products were used by ignorant men for many, many years before the evidence started coming in that they were all deadly poisons.  It looks like the first time or two that one of these products cause a disaster that modern man would wake up and be more cautious in the future.  But his greed, get and acquire completely overshadows all hope of rational thinking. 

 

 

More on Asbestos 

 

Even after exposure of the poisons, there remains problems in addressing them.  It is almost an impossible task to get rid of the poisons in the contemporary society.  Take the case of the above cited asbestos.  It was discovered to be a dangerous poison back in the 1970s.  Ostensibly, the use of asbestos building materials ended at that time.  Now, there is evidence suggesting that this stoppage did not happen. 

 

The Dec 31, 2002, Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. B3) had an AP story on “Washington senator wants asbestos warnings” which revealed that asbestos is still being made, sold and used in a building materials insulation product called Zonolite produced by the W. R. Grace Company. 

 

Zonolite is made from vermiculite ore mined by Grace near Libby, Montana from 1963 to 1990.  Lung cancer and asbestos poisoning rates are 40 to 60 times higher in the Libby area than what should be normally expected.  The high rates have been blamed on asbestos contamination caused by breathing the dust from the vermiculite. 

 

Supporters of producing and using the poisonous asbestos claim that Zonolite is believed to be either a minimal health risk or not a risk if it is not disturbed.  Asbestos fibers need to be airborne to be inhaled. 

 

Anyway, Senator Patty Murray of Washington State has had a long standing battle against asbestos.  Apparently, in December 2002, she has renewed this battle.  The importance of mentioning this problem is merely to demonstrate that it is almost impossible to get rid of these poisons, and even after they are identified and recognized as such. 

 

It is this confusion and ignorance which precipitates the fanaticism of people like Al Gore on the one hand (who seem to often manipulate data and use incorrect statistics to prove a point for obvious political objectives--to be discussed in a later chapter) and the ridiculous, radio, talk show host Rush Limbaugh on the other hand (who stupidly laughs at and makes fun of any recognition of the problem). 

 

 

Ted Kaczynski 

 

Dr Ted Kaczynski, the accused unabomber, believed that the crisis in the environment is essentially attributable to human governments and big corporations instead of individual humans/humanoids.  He wrote a widely disseminated manifesto explaining his thinking which argued:  

 

“The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. 

 

“They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in ‘advanced’ countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world.” 

 

Kaczynski has made some good points.  This writer would primarily depart from this outlined thinking by saying that the primary responsibility for global pollution and the prospects of an environmental collapse must be laid at the doorsteps of the super rich fat cats who call the shots all over the world and who own and/or control politicians, governments and large corporations (which do most of the polluting).  

 

 

Mark 16:9-20 

 

Some former chapters herein raised questions about the propriety of the Greek New Testament because of much evidence which suggested that it had been altered and tampered with in some manner.  One of the proofs of such changes has been some of the great variations in the different NT texts discovered over the years. 

 

One of the texts which NT scholars have had enormous problems with is Mark 16:9-20 which is thought by many to be spurious since it does not appear in numbers of old Greek NT manuscripts.  Truly, it may or may not be a valid text.  However, for the moment, this writer is not suggesting that it be thrown out of any so-called Christian “Bible.” 

 

Because, in fact, there seems to be one key verse which might make a person be suspicious at least that it has some authority and validity.  This important text is at Mark 16:18 which seems to describe the ability of believers with the true Baptism of the RUACH HA KODESH to have no fear of snakes or of deadly poisons. 

 

Of course, this fascinating text alone completely discredits the essence of the Holy Roller movement which will be described in detail in later chapters herein.  While a few Holy Rollers can handle rattlesnakes for a while (before being bit), none of them so far has been able to drink poisons without dying.  The ingestion and/or consumption of poisons, whether intentional or accidental, inevitably spell their demise. 

 

But in the sense of truth, could that text have some authority in the context of the age that we now live in where man-made poisons completely surround all of us in the environment and in the food and water we consume and on and on.  Is it possible that once The Real RUACH HA KODESH is administered to the very elect (evidently Philadelphia) in the age end that Mark 16:18 applies? 

 

The environment and everything about us is so incredibly bubbling over with poisons that it is a total impossibility to live on earth right now and avoid them--as for example, people downwind from Chernobyl in 1986, or of the Japanese nuclear accident in September 1999 (both to be assessed in the following chapters). 

 

In this common presence of deadly poisons, it just might be a fact that the persons receiving the spiritual baptism (eventually when it appears) will have some extraordinary protection.  It must not be ruled out.  Otherwise, even the very elect could be poisoned to death by man’s stupidity and irresponsibility. 

 

 

The Bottom Line 

 

Regardless of man’s knowledge of nature and the environment and irrespective of man’s lack of knowledge and understanding about pollution and its effects, there are two realities that should govern man’s conduct and attitude toward the topic. 

 

First, there is an apparent break point which can spell absolute disaster to all human life on this globe.  It seems prudent for man to take preventive or precautionary measures far in advance of reaching that break point.  In other words, stop the pollution before a potential catastrophe is reached and don’t blindly keep on the primrose lane of destruction. 

 

Finally, there are Scriptural issues involved which link man’s polluting actions to sin (to be covered in some detail in subsequent chapters).  Assuredly, man will not get away with violating YHWH’s laws on the environment (as will be discussed in the succeeding chapters). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 274--The Nuclear Pollution Problem I

 

 

The Nuclear Problem 

 

By now, most informed people realize that nuclear war and nuclear products are both extremely dangerous and can spell absolute disaster to humans and the environment.  To understand this reality and condition, all a person has to do is to check with the Japanese (in terms of the nuclear bombs which fell on them in 1945) and/or with the Russians (over their Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986). 

 

Probably, the heretofore mentioned nuclear industry is one of the most serious polluting agencies facing man.  It has been saved for now and few comments will be made because even the most greedy and irresponsible sun worshipper of all has some perception of the enormous dangers inherent with using radioactive energy and products, even in a so-called peaceful situation.   

 

Like natural crude oil, natural uranium 238 (as found in the mineral pitchblende) is not so terrifying and dangerous as it is after man gets his hands on it to process and refine it into some other type product.  In the case of uranium 238, it is stable. 

 

In the days of theoretical work on atomic energy, there was a need to change this basically good element into something man-made and unstable which could sustain an atomic reaction. 

 

Scientists found that they could alter and change the atomic structure of uranium 238 into other unstable and dangerous products which could have some potential for use in atomic reactions (like uranium 235, 237, 239 and plutonium 244).  This change necessitated the establishment of the great “nuclear factories” at Hanford, WA and Oak Ridge, TN in WWII. 

 

Consequently, the horrors of nuclear war and pollution have come about because of man’s willingness to alter and change something basically good in nature.  In this sense, natural uranium is just like natural crude oil which is changed by man into any number of very polluting and dangerous products. 

 

 

The Nuclear Industry 

 

In any case, nuclear energy and products now seem to be a fact of life all over the world.  Truly, a nuclear industry has come of age. 

 

The present nuclear industry is perhaps the best illustration of all on the human practice of creating products and doing things with absolutely no concern over the future impact of those actions.  In other words, jump in with both feet and don’t worry about any future concern over questions of right or wrong (as happened with MTBE, discussed earlier). 

 

After WWII, the use of nuclear energy and products came swiftly upon man (under the leadership of US Presidents Harry Truman and Dwight David Eisenhower). 

 

But not only can nuclear war wipe out so-called humanity in minutes, but the so-called peaceful uses of nuclear products may be almost as dangerous and deadly.  The significant thing about nuclear pollution is that it can pollute and damage not only vast land areas, but also the waterways and the air and atmosphere--besides killing people.  In other words, the whole environment is at risk with nuclear pollution. 

 

 

The Wastes 

 

One of the most horrible fall-outs of using nuclear products has been what to do with the nuclear waste products.  This stuff is setting in corroding containers all over the world and particularly in the American West.  In 2002, the Bush administration proposed sending all of this stuff to Nevada for burial there.  But Nevada doesn’t want these hot products. 

 

For a classic illustration of hypocrisy, take the case of Colorado which has tons of this stuff left over from the operations of the Rocky Flats nuclear plant and other activities.  The president had a Republican colleague named Wayne Allard, running for the Senate in Colorado.  Apparently, in an effort to help his friend, Bush decided to ship six tons of these hot products to South Carolina for processing/storage. 

 

The only trouble was that South Carolina didn’t want them either (she said that she had enough of her own nukes from the Savannah River Nuclear Plant).  Numbers of SC Democrat politicians went on record to oppose the planned shipment (May 13, 2002, “Time,” p. 23). 

 

The SC Republican candidate for the Senate (Lindsey Graham) proposed a fine of $one million a day for every day that these unprocessed wastes are in SC past a given dead line (ibid, p. 23).  At first, the Bush team balked.  Finally, the White House agreed if a cap of $100 million could be placed on the fine (ibid, p. 23). 

 

This whole debacle demonstrates the absolute insanity of the entire nuclear subject.  Here dangerous wastes are not wanted anyplace in America.  Yet, the various plants and reactors continue to produce these unwanted killing and polluting wastes.

 

In reacting to the mess created, the government plans on shipping this stuff around the nation (over the US highways) to find a location for it.  And tragically, many or most of the decisions made on this stuff is predicated upon politics.  

 

And in an even greater act of stupidity, the Bush administration is now taking nuclear waste products from Russia and perhaps other nations as well in a top secret program (Jan 6 & 13, 2003, “American Free Press,” p. 21).  Of course, various nations around the world have these deadly radioactive wastes. 

 

Like the US, they don’t know what to do with them (although the US has come to their aid and will accept the wastes).  The only thing clear about this effort is that the US will get something in return for accepting these items?  Surely, there is a payoff (maybe, the Russians will support the US in her aggressive wars against other nations in the world or something else?). 

 

 

Nuclear Plant Failures 

 

The world has already seen a number of nuclear power plant failures which have pumped huge quantities of nuclear radiation into the atmosphere to be picked up and carried far afield by the prevailing wind currents. 

 

The best known of these was the Chernobyl incident in the old Soviet Union in 1986, mentioned above, which has caused a huge number of deaths over the years.  As late as May 10, 2002, “The Week” (p. 6) said that Ukrainian children are now developing genetic mutations from eating radioactive food.  The Ukrainian soil is still heavily contaminated from the accident. 

 

Many families in this impoverished country supplement their diet from berries and mushrooms from tainted forests, as well as consuming milk and meat that exceed the safe levels of radioactivity. 

 

Doctors say that the mutations are occurring primarily in children’s reproductive systems.  Dr Evgeniya Stepanova says that “Those children and adults are more likely to get cancer and to pass on mutations to their children.” 

 

Besides Chernobyl, there have been any number of other such nuclear power failures.  And more are clearly on the way--and even in the United States. 

 

 

Coming Trouble 

 

The Apr 19, 2002, “The Week” (p. 10) had a news report on “Nuclear power:  The peril of aging plants” which exposed the pending problems.  Daniel B. Ford, former executive director of the Union of Concerned Scientists says that “We’re setting atop a pile of potential Chernobyls.” 

 

He claims that many of the US plants were built in the 1970s and that they are both aging and being neglected by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.  The Davis-Besse plant near Toledo, Ohio is a good illustration.  This one is “now so corroded that 70 pounds of steel have been eaten away.”  The plant’s owner, First Energy Corporation, has proposed “welding a steel Band-Aid over the crack.” 

 

As Ford concludes, “Crumbling 40-year old nukes should be shut down before they melt down.”  Yet, little seems to be done about the dilemma.  And the plants keep operating.  Thus, trouble surely is on the horizon. 

 

Nuclear catastrophes in the “peaceful” uses of nuclear energy are not necessarily a rare occurrence (though they may seem so since authorities work overtime to hide and cover up such events). 

 

Perhaps the most notable one recently happened in Japan at its Tokaimura nuclear processing plant when workers carelessly poured too much uranium into a vat of nitric acid.  There was a nuclear reaction just like the ones which happen in the core of a reactor (Oct 11, 1999, “US News & World Report,” p. 44). 

 

Three Japanese workers were seriously injured at once.  There was a release of radiation into the atmosphere.  Who knows how many other persons would suffer from it later on as it drifted across Japan and even across the United States and Canada. 

 

 

After--Closing Reactors 

 

The Jul-Sep 2000 “Hebrew Roots” periodical (p. 36) had a fascinating news report from New York on a study on the health of people living near nuclear power reactors, after the reactors are shut down.  In the first two years, following the shut down of five reactors, infant death rates fell 15 to 20 percent from the previous two years. 

 

The study was the “Radiation and Public Health Project.”  Results and findings have now been published in five scientific journals.  The findings noted that children are 10 to 20 times more radiosensitive than adults.  People living near reactors have been shown to suffer increased cancer incidences. 

 

The Rancho Seco reactor near Sacramento, CA was cited in the study.  Infant death rates rose for the first two years after Rancho Seco began operating.  It was closed in 1989.  Cases of leukemia and cancer, birth defects and infant mortality rates continued to drop for the first seven years after closure.  An estimated 42 million American people now live downwind from the presently 103 operating nuclear power reactors. 

 

Perhaps because of the dangers of nuclear reactors, a number of countries are abandoning or reducing their reliance on nuclear power.  Germany has announced plans to shut down all of its 19 reactors over the next 32 years.  Sweden is closing out its nuclear power plants.  And Turkey has abandoned plans to build one near the Mediterranean.  Even China has declared a moratorium on new plants. 

 

Today, resulting nuclear waste products are all over the globe and no one knows what to do with them.  They set in corroded, leaking barrels and containers all over the world and especially in the Western United States. 

 

While there is no obvious answer on these items, it is interesting that science has proposed storing them underground or dumping them into the oceans (already, much nuclear wastes and pollution have found their way into the oceans).  The problem with storing these exceedingly dangerous products is that no one wants them stored on their lands. 

 

No foreign country has come forward offering their properties for storage sites.  The same is true with US states.  None of them want nuclear wastes.  There is little doubt about it--a crisis of unequaled proportions seems waiting to burst upon man from radioactive wastes. 

 

 

Hanford, Washington

 

For years, science has speculated that in a nuclear war, all human and animal forms on earth might be killed, but that there were possibilities of the survival of mutated insects and bugs to populate (at least for a while) an essentially desolate earth, as will be shortly assessed.  Now, comes a story from the Jun-Jul 1999 “Prophecy Flash” (p. 41) which illustrates the reality of that scenario. 

 

“Prophecy Flash” reported a recent finding from the area of the Hanford, Washington nuclear energy plant.  Hanford has a reputation for being the nation’s most contaminated nuclear site.  Apparently, nuclear pollution abounds at the site near the great Columbia River.  It has extended even into the area’s garbage dump of 210 tons of now radioactive garbage. 

 

In any case, the radioactive garbage at Hanford has continued to attract insects and bugs over the years which have mutated and become radioactive insects and bugs.  To compound the problem, these radioactive bugs can still fly anywhere they choose, as before.  This means that they can be spreading out and away from the Hanford site. 

 

“US News & World Report” of Oct 25, 1999 (p. 6), had a news report from Hanford which said that two water basins containing 2,100 metric tons of plutonium contaminated fuel rods are buried there some 1,400 feet below the water level of the nearby Columbia River.  They were built in 1951 to last only 20 years. 

 

The Jan 2001 “Idaho Observer” (p. 7) had a story on Hanford which noted that radioactive tritium has been found in a nearby well with radioactive levels 90 times higher than allowable by the federal Clean Water Act safety standards.  The article said that radioactive tritium pollution will reach the Columbia River within three years. 

 

 

Paducah, Kentucky 

 

Another tragic case has surfaced in Paducah, Kentucky where the US operated the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant which dismantled nuclear weapons.  The plant is now closed.  But the work left a mass of nuclear pollutants for local people to have to contend with. 

 

In the Aug 30, 1999, “US News & World Report” (USNWR, p. 35-36), writer Bruce B. Auster had an article on “Indecent exposure” which assessed the contaminated mess at Paducah.  Per Auster, radioactive contamination has been found in the Paducah area outside the plant in ditches, streams and ponds, as well as at a downtown parking lot, a scrap dump and the local high school. 

 

Per the article, workers at the plant did, on occasion, purge radioactive gas into the air at the plant and always at night.  While proof has not yet been obtained on this reported purging, it is interesting that an air monitor at the local high school did go off when these alleged purges took place. 

 

By and large, it appears that plant officials and even workers were often irresponsible in the way that they handled material at the plant.  Will man ever learn anything about the environment and its irresponsible use? 

 

 

Using Nuclear Products 

 

A former chapter mentioned the present on-going schemes to find as many uses as possible for nuclear products and especially waste products.  Greedy and profit oriented men are in no mood to waste or lose anything if there is any conceivable hope of converting it into money.  Money is the name of the game in the Western, Christian, sun worship culture. 

 

Comments were made in a former chapter on the present plans to use nuclear radiation to “irradiate” food to destroy the rampaging bacteria now so prevalent in modern man’s food sources.  But there is another incredible scheme afloat to also use some of the other nuclear products and make some more profits for the super rich people running things. 

 

“US News & World Report” (p. 35) of Sep 20, 1999, had a story of this latest scam called “Radioactive fork, dear?”  This report and the article, by Bruce B. Auster, quoted above, both focused upon the huge volume of contaminated and radioactive metals at the nation’s various nuclear sites (which could theoretically be converted into profitable dollars). 

 

The quantity of this stuff is staggering.  Auster suggested that the total recyclable metals was estimated at 1.5 million tons across the US.  Oak Ridge, Tennessee, alone, has 6,000 tons of nickel.  The nuclear plant at Paducah, Kentucky, just discussed, has something like 60,000 tons of metals which could supposedly be put to use (to make money by selling these left-overs to scrap metal dealers). 

 

The USNWR articles noted that there is one problem with the plan.  Nobody knows for sure if these metal products will be safe and even after supposedly cleaning and decontaminating them.  As pointed out, one may clean the surface, but there still can be contamination inside.  Even a small amount of radiation can cause serious problems. 

 

Knowing the intelligence level and incredible greed of men, one can be sure that a stupid scheme like this one will be carried forward to fruition.  The big boys who stand to make a profit on this exercise will push and prod it until it becomes reality. 

 

 

Depleted Uranium Shells and Bombs 

 

A former chapter herein briefly mentioned the charges and beliefs by some that depleted uranium shells and bombs used in Iraq (in both US-Iraqi wars) and in the Balkans could be one of the major sources of the Gulf War Syndrome disease (as publicized by US Air Force nurse Captain Joyce Riley, discussed earlier). 

 

Actually, this whole issue is an interesting one in the vein of modern pollution and the stupidity of modern man to do everything possible to destroy himself and others as well. 

 

Some smart “intellect” looked at this once “used” uranium (which is still radioactive and hot) and decided that it could still have some further use.  Since uranium is an extremely hard metal, the schemers and planners conceived that this “used” uranium would make excellent bombs, shells and ammunition to be used against hard targets--like tanks and heavy fortifications. 

 

So people in the nuclear power industry and at the plants which disassemble nuclear bombs did some studies trying to determine the feasibility of such a plan.  Actually, they cooked up the theory that this “used” uranium could be called “depleted uranium” since it was not as radioactive and as dangerous as is unused uranium products, particularly plutonium, as used in bombs and the power industry. 

 

It is unclear what type of experiments were conducted to certify that this used or spent uranium is now largely safe.  Some scientists compared being in the presence of this stuff as being no more dangerous than several chest x-rays.  But doubt continued to persist over the alleged safety of used uranium.  Admittedly, it was not as bad as unused uranium.  But it was still hot and offered some possible dangers. 

 

 

US Uses 

 

In any case, the Pentagon bought the idea and started making “depleted” uranium bombs and ammunition.  By the time of the Gulf War and the threat of a large number of Iraqi tanks and fortified bunkers, the military went forward and used this stuff extensively in Kuwait and Iraq.  Slick Clinton followed up in the Balkans war in 1999 and used it there. 

 

Though allegations persisted (as noted in the former discussion on the Gulf War Syndrome) that this depleted uranium was dangerous and was a major cause of illness by US forces exposed to it, the US authorities consistently denied any ties. 

 

Then some things started unraveling in early 2001 when reports came in from a number of European countries which had furnished peacekeeping forces in the Balkans. 

 

The problem was outlined in a NPR news report and commentary on Jan 16, 2001, which noted that US and European relations are at a new, low ebb.  Much of the difficulties between the powers now seems to be traceable to the American use of depleted uranium shells, bombs and so forth in the US war against Yugoslavia. 

 

When these bombs and shells exploded, fragments remained on the ground wherever they went off.  The civilian population came into contact with this stuff--obviously.  In fact, some of the children in the area actually picked up these fragments of exploded bombs and shells and kept them as souvenirs.  In time, European peace keepers arrived and were exposed to them as well. 

 

Now, the problem arises because these peace keepers (generally young men in the prime of health) began coming down with cancer and leukemia in extremely high numbers (and especially as they were rotated back home after a short stay in the Balkans).  Many European doctors and authorities have blamed these illnesses on the exposure of their soldiers to these bomb fragments in the Balkans. 

 

Accordingly, several European governments have come out and blamed the US for the disease outbreaks.  US and European relations are now suffering for several reasons (to include increasing trade problems and protectionism). 

 

While the outcome of this question will not be quickly resolved, the point is that the US leadership could care less about her own soldiers--much less European peace keepers and Yugoslavian children.  So nothing will change.  America will continue using the used or spent uranium products.  Nothing will change--at least not very quickly! 

 

 

The Latest 

 

The latest evidence on how deadly these uranium shells are proving to be surfaced in 2003 as a fall-out of the frequent US wars on Iraq.  The “American Free Press” and other media sources have had a host of stories on the huge number of birth defects among the Iraqis (yes, little babies being born without arms, legs, etc). 

 

The Jul 7, 2003, AFP (p. 1, 6) had a report on “Birth Defects Tied to GWS” which focused upon the growing prevalence of birth defects among the 1991 Gulf War veterans.  Like in the case of the fall-out among the Iraqis, the birth defect problem seems to also be arising in the children of former US soldiers who served in the Gulf War.  This whole thing suggests that the uranium shells may be the problem. 

 

 

Something Overlooked 

 

While most of the potential problems of producing, handling, storing and using nuclear products have been identified since 1944, there always remains the possibility of something else surfacing to cause concern.  And in this vein, it appears that modern Americans may soon face something new in the context of fires and droughts. 

 

As just pointed out in the former comments on the Hanford, Washington nuclear site, there is a problem of great contamination at the site, even in the surface soil and garbage dumps.  Some persons suppose that Hanford is the most polluted site of all.  But there are problems in any number of other places. 

 

Here, focus could be directed to such facilities as the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in Eastern Idaho, the Savannah (GA) River Plant, the nuclear test site in Nevada and the nuclear facility at Rocky Flats near Denver, Colorado.  These facilities, plus a host of others, have areas that have become grossly contaminated over the years. 

 

The late spring and summer of 2000 produced a number of serious forest fires which endangered nuclear sites--including nuclear wastes. 

 

First, the area of Los Alamos, NM was hit with a huge fire (intentionally set by the National Park Service) which consumed houses and trees over a vast area.  US officials claimed that this fire did not burn any nuclear waste sites (but US officials are known to tell lies, so who knows the truth?). 

 

Late June 2000 saw a huge blaze break out in the Hanford, Washington area.  It consumed thousands of acres, to include land on the Hanford nuclear reservation.  Again, US officials assured the public that everything was safe and that nothing nuclear burned, and that there was no fall out from the flames or smoke.  But was it safe?  Did officials tell the truth? 

 

 

Coming Droughts 

 

Now, this contamination is bad enough in its own right and especially in the context of fires.  But there is more to the issue and especially in the sense that the contamination often involves surface soil, as a minimum. 

 

Of course, as long as rain occasionally falls, this surface contamination seeps downward into the earth.  Supposedly, the biggest problem in this seepage is that it eventually contaminates the underground water supply.  And it does from time to time!

 

But America is very close to some significant droughts.  In fact, some US areas seem to have entered a drought (or flood) state in 1999-2002.  More drought areas will surely surface in 2003 and get worse until the United States faces a total drought.  In a drought configuration, like the one in the Western plains in the 1930s, winds blow surface soil into the air, causing dust storms wherever the winds blow. 

 

The above cited USNWR article (of Sep 20, 1999, p. 36) on nuclear pollution had a footnote which assessed the contamination problem.  The report noted that some 3,500 facilities are involved with 36 million cubic meters of total waste, 75 million cubic meters of contaminated soils (enough to cover Manhattan Island with 5 feet of contaminated soil) and 1.8 billion cubic meters of contaminated ground water. 

 

There is a further fallout from this gross contamination.  Many scientists are concerned that this massive problem over radioactive contamination could release a wave of related diseases and illnesses in people--like beryllium disease.  It will take $200 billion to clean the mess up.  So it’s doubtful that much will be done. 

 

With this backdrop, the next logical place of concern must be what the “fallout” will be from these contaminated sites when there is no rain and the winds blow the surface soils into the air and down wind.  The normal wind patterns in the US are West to East.  In the main, persons living East of any of these contaminated sites could be in trouble. 

 

What will modern, intelligent, sophisticated, advanced, scientific Americans do when radioactive dust is being blown across their lands?   Will they ever be able to put two and two together and understand that they (or rather, their parents who developed and used these sites) are the cause? 

 

In other words, when judgment finally strikes upon America in a coming nuclear WWIII (to be discussed in a later chapter herein), will it be preceded by and intensified by radioactive dust storms across America?  It may develop that much of America will become a nuclear waste land once this radioactive dust fills the air. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 275--The Nuclear Pollution Problem II

 

 

After Nuclear Bombs and/or War 

 

The nuclear war course seems spelled out in some detail in the Scriptures.  A subsequent chapter will assess this option in some detail and suggest what will happen in the immediate here and now when bombs start falling on American and White British Commonwealth cities. 

 

But there is still more to come in the way of after effects from nuclear war.  In other words, the trouble only starts when the bombs go off.  Many very serious problems remain thereafter. 

 

The present world situation and the immediate effects of nuclear war (in the sense of the initial blast, heat and radiation impacts) will be elaborated upon in the later chapter.  There is no intent now to assess these immediate effects at this time. 

 

But there will be long term affects upon both people and nature once the bombs start falling.  Some of these same eventualities will surface and persist even if the Russians, Chinese or Arabs choose to use small, suitcase nuclear bombs on US and other Western cities in the context of terrorism. 

 

This nuclear terrorism is probably the most pressing issue in 2003, though the Scripturally promised nuclear war is very close at hand--perhaps in Yechezkel’s 33d year.  In any case, the long term polluting and destroying actions of nuclear bombs need mention at this time. 

 

 

More on After Nuclear War 

 

The following remarks are from a summary of a conference on The World After Nuclear War, as published in the November 9, 1983 “Newsletter of the U.S. Association for the Club of Rome.”  The gist of these findings is that startling changes could alter the earth's climate after nuclear war and cause a devastating impact on any survivors of that war--viz: 

 

“The world's nuclear arsenal today stands at over 12,000 megatons (MT), enough to destroy one million Hiroshimas.  Recent studies estimate that anywhere from 300 million to 1 billion people would be killed outright in a large-scale nuclear war (5,000-10,000 MT yield) and an equal number would suffer serious injuries requiring immediate medical attention--which would be largely unavailable. 

 

“But what of the long-term effects of nuclear war?  What kind of world would survivors face?  New evidence suggests that the lingering atmospheric and biological consequences may be even more serious than the immediate ones. 

 

“These findings will be presented at the Conference on the Long-Term Worldwide Biological Consequences of Nuclear War being held in Washington, D. C. October 31--November 1,1983. 

 

“The findings are largely the result of studies done over the last two years by Richard P. Turco, Owen B. Toon, Thomas P. Ackerman and James B. Pollack, of NASA’s Ames Research Center; and Carl Sagan, of Cornell University, on the optical and climatic impacts of the dust and smoke particles which would be generated in nuclear war. 

 

“Their work has been critically reviewed by some 100 eminent physicists, atmospheric scientists and biologists from the U.S. and other countries who participated in a series of meetings held earlier this year in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

 

“The atmospheric findings, which augment earlier studies and introduce previously unforeseen consequences of nuclear war, have been reported in a paper entitled Global Atmospheric Consequences of Nuclear War (referred to as the "TTAPS" paper, after the names of its authors). 

 

“The authors conclude that a nuclear war, even at the level of 100-1,000 MT could cause profound climatic and meteorological disturbances, including darkness and extreme cold, and that exposure to radioactivity would be much greater than previously projected. 

 

“Some 40 biologists reviewed the atmospheric findings, determined the biological consequences and also considered other potential ecological effects not caused by atmospheric changes.  Their conclusions are outlined in a separate paper entitled The Long-Term Biological Consequences of Nuclear War. 

 

“Their unanimous view is that the atmospheric stresses resulting from nuclear war could so disrupt the earth's biological support systems that the extinction of a significant proportion of the earth's animals and plants would occur.  They conclude that the possibility of human extinction cannot be excluded. 

 

 

More 

 

“At the Conference, Dr. Sagan will present the atmospheric and climatic consequences and Dr. Paul R. Ehrlich of Stanford University will present the biological consequences... 

 

“To study the optical and climatic effects of dust and smoke clouds generated in a nuclear war, the physicists ran computer models of dozens of different nuclear war scenarios. 

 

“They adopted as a baseline case a 5,000 MT exchange with 20% of the explosive power (yield) expended on urban or industrial targets in the Northern Hemisphere. Given current arsenals, this is a realistic possibility for a full-scale war.  Other cases studied ranged in total yield from 100 to over 10,000 MT.  In each case, the scientists calculated: 

 

“1. How much dust and smoke was generated; 

 

“2. How much sunlight was absorbed by the dust and smoke; 

 

“3. How much the temperature changed; 

 

“4. How the dust and smoke spread, and how long before it all fell back to the surface; 

 

“5. The extent of radioactive fallout over time; 

 

“6. How much ultraviolet light reached the surface after the soot and dust fell out. 

 

 

Still More 

 

“The following conclusions reflect aggregate data from the baseline scenario in the original TTAPS paper and from the paper on The Long-Term Biological Consequences of Nuclear War.  They have been substantially edited. Complete scientific and technical support data will be provided at the Conference. 

 

“Unbroken Pall of Darkness Would Cover Northern Hemisphere.  Within a week after the war, the amount of sunlight at ground level could be reduced to just a few percent of normal; an unbroken gloom could persist for weeks over the Northern Hemisphere.  The light would be absorbed primarily by sooty smoke from nuclear fires ignited by surface bursts and airbursts. 

 

“The total amount of smoke released in the baseline model is 225 million tons (released over several days).  Smoke particles are extremely small, which lengthens the time they remain in the atmosphere.  The soil dust raised by surface bursts, while important, would have less climatic impact since it is typically poorly absorbing. 

 

“Low light level would disrupt photosynthesis, food chains.  In the early months following a substantial nuclear exchange, the amount of light filtering through the cloud cover might not be adequate to sustain photosynthesis.  Even assuming that plants would be otherwise undamaged, which is unrealistic, the lack of light would severely limit growth, and the consequences would cascade through all food chains. 

 

“Effects on Southern Hemisphere Greater Than Previously Assumed.  Large disturbances in global circulation patterns could greatly accelerate the interhemispheric transport of smoke, dust and radioactivity. 

 

“Rapid interhemispheric mixing means that the Southern Hemisphere could be subjected to massive injections of nuclear debris soon after an exchange in the Northern Hemisphere.  Possible rapid transport of dust and smoke from the Northern to the Southern Hemisphere may involve the entire planet in after-effects.  Previous studies have assumed that Southern hemisphere effects would be minor. 

 

“Harsh "Nuclear Winter" Would Prevail.  Contrary to the conclusions reached in most earlier studies, nuclear war probably would have a major impact on climate lasting for several years. 

 

“It would be manifested by a dramatic drop in land temperatures to subfreezing levels for several months, large disturbances in global circulation patterns, and dramatic changes in local weather and precipitation.  Even if the war were to occur in the summer, many areas might be subject to continuous snowfall for months. 

 

“Subfreezing temperatures would substantially reduce chances for human survival.  Except for areas near coastlines, land temperatures would plunge from -15° C (+5° F) to -25° C (-13° F), with dire consequences for survivors.  The impact of dramatically reduced temperatures on plants would depend on the time of year at which they occurred, their duration, and the tolerance limits of the plants. 

 

“The abrupt onset of cold is of particular importance, though, since plants that normally can withstand subfreezing temperatures would have no time to develop tolerance.  A spring or summer war would kill or damage virtually all crops in the Northern Hemisphere. 

 

“Most uncultivated food sources also would be destroyed, as would most farm animals.  Many animals that survived would die of thirst, as surface fresh water would be frozen over the interior of continents.  Available food supplies would be rapidly depleted.  Most of the human survivors would starve... 

 

“Nations that now require large imports of foods, including those untouched by nuclear detonations, would suffer the immediate cessation of incoming food supplies.  These countries would be forced to rely on their local agricultural and natural ecosystems.  This would be especially serious for many less-developed countries, particularly those in the tropics. 

 

 

And More 

 

“Exposure to Radioactive Fallout Worse than Expected.  Exposure to radioactive fallout would be more widespread than is predicted by standard empirical exposure models because of the intermediate fallout which would extend over many days and weeks. 

 

“With unprecedented quantities of fission debris released into the atmosphere, even areas remote from the explosion sites would be subject to large doses of fallout radiation. 

 

“Radiation doses approach lethal dose for humans.  In the baseline case, roughly 30 percent of the land at Northern midlatitudes (30° N to 60° N) would receive a radioactive dose greater than 250 rads over several months.  About 50 percent of the Northern mid-latitudes would receive a long-term dose greater than 100 rads. (This dose includes radionuclides ingested from contaminated food.)

 

“These doses are roughly ten times larger than previous estimates.  A 100 rad dose is the equivalent of approximately 1,000 medical x-rays.  A 400 rad whole-body acute dose is usually considered lethal.  Doses this large can affect the immune system and increase the probability of infectious disease, cancer and genetic and embryonic defects. 

 

“No Ice Age, but the Ocean Would Not Provide Relief.  Because the climatic effects would not last longer than a few years, an Ice Age would probably not be generated.  Subfreezing temperatures will freeze most freshwater systems to considerable depth, leaving survivors without surface water. 

 

“The oceans will not freeze due to their enormous reservoir of heat.  It has often been thought that the coastal areas would be a major source of food for survivors of a nuclear war.  

 

“However, the combined effects of darkness, ultraviolet light, severe coastal storms due to enormous land-sea temperature differentials, run-off of silt and toxic chemicals from the land, destruction of ships and concentrations of radionuclides in fish and other marine life cast strong doubt on this contention. 

 

“Fire Would be a Major Problem With Serious and Unanticipated Consequences. About one-sixth of the world's urbanized land area, or =240,000 km2 would be partially burned by =1,000 MT of explosions in the baseline scenario. 

 

“The remaining 4,000 MT of yield could ignite wildfires and firestorms.  Uncontrolled fires could sweep over large areas.  For example, multiple airbursts over California in the late summer or early fall could burn off much of the state, leading to catastrophic flooding and erosion during the next rainy season. 

 

“Urban fires would generate large amounts of deadly toxins.  Cities hold large stores of combustible, synthetic materials that would release large quantities of toxic gases (pyrotoxins) as they burn, including carbon monoxide, cyanides, dioxins and furans. 

 

“These pollutants might have only limited immediate effect on vegetation, but they would certainly hinder the recovery of vegetation devastated by nuclear blast and fire.  Transport by winds to distant, initially unaffected ecosystems could be an important additional adverse side effect.  This problem had not been addressed in previous studies. 

 

“Ozone Depletion Would Increase Exposure to Ultraviolet light (UV-B).  High-yield explosions would inject nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the stratosphere, which would result in large reductions in the ozone layer. 

 

“The ozone layer, only 3 millimeters thick if it were brought down to sea level, shields the earth from UV-B, a damaging type of radiation.  In the baseline case, dust and soot would absorb the increased UV-B at first.  But when the dust and soot cleared a few months later, W-B doses roughly 1.6 times normal would be transmitted to the surface. 

 

“Increased levels of UV-B can harm biological systems in several ways.  The immune systems of humans and other mammals are known to be suppressed by relatively low doses of UV-B.  Given the conditions of increased radioactive fallout and other stresses, such suppression of the immune systems leads to an increase in the incidence of disease. 

 

“Protracted exposure to increased W-B also may lead to widespread blindness among humans and other mammals. 

 

 

And Still More 

 

“Tropical Forest Could Disappear.  Tropical plants are less able to cope with even short periods of cold and dark than those in temperate zones.  If darkness or cold, or both, were to become widespread in the tropics, the tropical forests, which are the major reservoir of organic diversity, could largely disappear.  This would, in turn, lead to the extinction of a majority of the species of plants and animals on earth. 

 

“Dependence on imports threatens survivability in tropical and developing countries.  The dependence of urban populations in many tropical and developing countries on imported food would lead to severe effects, even if those areas were not affected directly by the war. 

 

“Large numbers of people would be forced to leave the cities and attempt to cultivate the remaining areas of forest, accelerating their destruction and the consequent rate of extinction.  Regardless of the exact distribution of the immediate effects of the war, everyone on Earth would ultimately be profoundly affected. 

 

“Even Small Nuclear Exchanges Could Trigger Severe After-effects.  Relatively large climatic effects can result from small nuclear exchanges (100 to 1,000 MT).  A scenario involving 100 MT exploded in the air over cities could produce a two-month interval of subfreezing land temperatures, with a minimum near -23° C. 

 

“In this scenario thousands of fires would be ignited and the smoke from these fires alone would generate a period of cold and dark almost as severe as in the baseline (5,000 MT) case. 

 

“In short:  In the aftermath of a 5,000 MT nuclear exchange, survivors would face extreme cold, water shortages, lack of food and fuel, heavy burdens of radiation and pollutants, diseases, and severe psychological stress--all in twilight or darkness. 

 

“It is clear that the ecosystem effects alone resulting from a large-scale thermonuclear war would be enough to destroy civilization as we know it in at least the Northern Hemisphere. 

 

“These long-term effects, when combined with the direct casualties from the blast, suggest that eventually there might be no human survivors in the Northern Hemisphere.  Human beings, other animals and plants in the Southern Hemisphere would also suffer profound consequences. 

 

“The scenario described here is by no means the most severe that could be imagined with present world nuclear arsenals and those contemplated for the near future.” 

 

 

“Changes” on the After Effect 

 

In the Seasons of Changes column, “Changes” newsletter of September-October 1982 had this comment on still one more possible result from nuclear war:  

 

“It appears that previous calculations as to the effect of the material lifted into the lower stratosphere by nuclear detonations neglected the fact that, drawn up by the rising fireball, large amounts of water vapor would move upward in the moist air to form tiny ice crystals.  The result would be stratospheric clouds that cool the Earth, similar to the giant cloud observed after the volcanic eruption in Mexico earlier this year.  

 

“The real amount of sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere would be 20 to 40 times greater per megaton detonated than estimated earlier, so that a 10,000 megaton nuclear war would produce a cooling effect comparable to that of a few dozen Krakatoa eruptions, or the equivalent of some 10,000 Mt. St. Helens eruptions. 

 

“Since a l0-degree reduction in the average temperature of the Earth would be able to, trigger another ice age, even a limited nuclear war using some 2,000 to 3,000 megatons for an attack on purely military targets, is likely to result in an irreversible cooling of the Earth's climate, accompanied by a reduction in rainfall in the mid-latitudes. 

 

“That would destroy the wheat-producing areas of North and South America, Europe, Russia and China, areas on which the world's population depends for survival.  And what followed would be another advance of the polar ice sheets, until much of Canada, the northern United States, Europe and South America were covered by glaciers thousands of feet thick.” 

 

 

More from Sagan and Ehrlich 

 

The November 2, 1983, Guam “Pacific Daily News” had a story on New nuke warning issued, which noted: “Two leading scientists delivered a grim new warning against nuclear war Monday, saying the aftermath of an all-out conflict would annihilate the human race through starvation in global cold and darkness. 

 

“The two said many scientists previously underestimated the consequences of nuclear war, the effects of fallout and the impact on the southern hemisphere, and had not examined the effect of massive amounts of smoke and dust caused by the explosions.

 

“The long-term effect (of nuclear war) may be the disappearance of our species from the planet, said Paul Ehrlich, a professor of biology and population sciences at Stanford University.  Ehrlich described the biological consequences and Carl Sagan, media celebrity and professor of space sciences at Cornell University, commented on the atmospheric consequences during a conference on the aftermath of nuclear war.  

 

“The two said smoke and dust raised by bombs aimed at major industrial, population and military centers in the northern hemisphere and other areas would block out sunlight, causing darkness and freezing temperatures that would make agriculture impossible. 

 

“Dust and smoke carried by global wind patterns also may plunge the tropics and southern hemisphere into cold and dark, they said.  Previously, it was believed effects in the southern hemisphere would be minor, the two men said.  

 

“This nuclear winter--combined with radiation, fire, illness and disease and increased ultraviolet radiation because of damage to the earth's ozone layer--would destroy much animal life, wipe out organized society and eventually annihilate the human race, they said. 

 

“They said their statements represent the consensus of 40 physicists, biologists and atmospheric scientists who examined two years of studies on the impact of dust and smoke particles generated in nuclear war.”  

 

 

Testing 

 

In the above discussion of nuclear pollution after nuclear war, some further comment should now be made.  Actually, the overall fall-out problem as associated with nuclear war will be addressed in a future chapter.  There is not much more needed on it in this context.  However, here it will be prudent to briefly assess it from the standpoint of so-called nuclear testing during times of peace. 

 

The future chapter on nuclear war will focus upon comments from the “Breakthrough” Newsletter of the Global Education Associates for the fall of 1983 that address the health aspects from fallout from the American use of the two nuclear bombs on Japan in WWII. 

 

This source likewise estimated that from five to 20 million people have died since 1945 from the radiation effects of nuclear testing (as is discussed below and elsewhere herein).  Of course, this focus was primarily on the aspects of radiation arising from nuclear fall-out associated with nuclear testing. 

 

Most of these deaths have been cancer deaths (perhaps to include John Wayne, who was in Nevada making a movie during one of the early tests and was apparently exposed to fallout), infant deaths from embryonic and fetal injuries and children’s deaths from congenital malformations. 

 

 

US Department of Health 

 

The March 15, 2002, “The Week” (p. 18) had a more recent story on the impact of nuclear tests in a study made by the US Department of Health.  The Department of Health study mentioned the testing of 390 atomic bombs from 1951 to 2000 (to include 205 tests by the US, 160 by the old USSR, 21 by Britain, and four by France), but only focused upon atmospheric tests from 1951 to 1963. 

 

This recent study concluded that some 15,000 Americans alone were killed by cancer resulting from the Cold War nuclear tests.  No estimates were given on world deaths (although they were substantial, but probably less than the estimates made by the above quoted “Breakthrough” Newsletter of the Global Education Associates). 

 

As the US Department of Health report stated, any person living in the United States after 1951 has been exposed to radioactive fallout.  All organs and tissues of the bodies of Americans have received some radiation exposure.  Apparently, the same conclusions can be applied to people around the world. 

 

 

Mutual Assured Destruction (Suicide) 

 

General Douglas MacArthur once said “War has become a Frankenstein to destroy both sides... No longer does it possess the chance of the winner of the duel--it contains, rather, the germs of double suicide.” 

 

This argument (of mutual destruction) has prompted many people to speculate that no one would start a nuclear war.  But this is nonsense, in the context of a first strike.  Even the US has contemplated a first strike, as elsewhere noted herein. 

 

Certainly, the Russians have entertained the idea.  Is anyone naive enough to suppose that the Amalekite Adolf Schicklgruber would have hesitated one minute before launching a nuclear attack on the Western allies, as he was preparing to commit suicide in his bunker in 1945. 

 

Today, suicide is a very common death among young people.  Would anyone of them or anyone else considering that option be reluctant to push the nuclear button in especially a first strike?  When an individual reaches the level of self destruction, he or she would hardly be concerned with whoever else may have to die. 

 

The school shooting and death of 15 students in Littleton, CO in Apr 1999 involved two teen age boys intent on committing suicide.  Like a vast number of other teenagers, these boys had reached the point that they actually believed they had no future.  As discussed earlier, is it possible that young people realize that this society and culture are a bunch of hypocrites and particularly in the context of America’s former leader? 

 

Ex-President Slick Clinton is immoral, dishonest, deceitful and crooked and commits perjury, treason and murder (at least, in Yugoslavia, and likely at home as well). 

 

Yet, the American people have loved and still love Slick and never want to hold him responsible for anything.  Why then should people be upset when teenagers decide to commit suicide and take some other students along with them.  The same is true in any discussion on nuclear war.

 

 

Further Quotations 

 

Furthermore, in going on, Phil Stanford of the Center for Defense Information adds that “Just one submarine can destroy any country on earth.”  General Carl A. Spaatz of the US Air Force noted that it is too late for defense after atomic bombs start falling. 

 

Adlai Stevenson said:  “No physical peril greater than atomic war has confronted mortal man since the flood.”  President Dwight Eisenhower stated:  “War has become not just tragic but preposterous.  With modern weapons, there can be no victory for anyone.” 

 

McGeorge Bundy, the White House War Room Chief from 1961 to 1966, wrote in the Oct 1969 “Foreign Affairs” magazine that:  “Ten bombs on ten cities would be a disaster beyond history; and a hundred bombs on a hundred cities are unthinkable.” 

 

Andrei Sakharov, father of the Russian hydrogen bomb, said:  “The pulling of a few levers, the pushing of a few buttons, and the throwing of a few switches would result in the complete annihilation of every living thing on the earth.” 

 

On July 23, 1975, Lieutenant General Vernon A Walters, Deputy Director of the CIA, reported:  “...the United States is in a tougher position than it has been in since Valley Forge.  Not since Valley Forge has any foreign country had the ability to destroy or seriously cripple the United States.  That capability exists today.” 

 

In March 1980, a symposium on the “Medical Effects of Nuclear War” was held in Cambridge, MA by the Physicians for Social Responsibility.  It concluded that a nuclear war would mean the end of civilization and possibly mankind. 

 

The “Spiral Report” of December 30, 1983, quoted retired Rear Admiral Gene La Rocque as saying:  “A nuclear war would provide none of the satisfactions of past wars—no parades, no heroism, no glory.  Nuclear war will destroy America in 30 minutes.” 

 

Finally, Bernard Field, MIT physicist and editor of the “Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists,” said:  “Today, not only is nuclear war actively contemplated but there is even talk about winning such a war.” 

 

 

The Bottom Line 

 

While nuclear war remains the most dangerous threat facing man, the whole nuclear pollution theme, as well as environmental pollution generally, is incredibly dangerous to even begin to address and think about.  Much of the problem strangely enough links back to the demographics issue cited in former chapters. 

 

It is absolute madness for modern man to be faced with these extremely dangerous forms of technology which can destroy all life on this globe in minutes when these agents are in the hands of half-way responsible people (as happened in the US and the Soviet Union during the so-called cold war). 

 

But as these capabilities for death and destruction are placed into the hands of irresponsible persons with bad gene lines the possibilities for mass destruction and madness reach unbelievable heights. 

 

Yes, these dangerous destructive agents are bad enough in the hands of the Adamic people of Norway.  However, the possibilities for extremely bad reactions only intensify when these same agents of destruction are placed into the hands of non-Adamic humanoids and nokri/nekar peoples as found in the Colored Third World (as is now happening in much of the world). 

 

A half way responsible Norwegian man will manifestly handle these deadly destructive agents in a far different way than a mixed blooded nokri person in one of the Muslim states or in the middle of Asia or Africa. 

 

As discussed elsewhere herein, the “beloved” John F. Kennedy actually contemplated a nuclear first strike on the Soviet Union.  So nuclear war has been and is always an option on the table for world leaders. 

 

There is little more that can be added to the above penetrating remarks--except that the Word seems to be precise in describing an enormous nuclear attack upon America and the White British Commonwealth--just before they are invaded and destroyed nationally.  This attack will be described in some detail in succeeding chapters herein. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 276--Sun Worship Pollution and Sin

 

 

Environmental Pollution is Sin 

 

If pollution is as bad as asserted in preceding chapters herein, then one should be able to find this subject covered in the Scriptures.  And that’s exactly what a student of the Book can find.  The MOST HIGH has offered a huge number of statements about environmental pollution in the context of sin.  As a start on this, the Decalogue makes it sin to commit murder (Ex 20:13). 

 

Therefore, if a chemist develops a chemical product which kills other people (perhaps agricultural pesticide poisons), does he commit murder?   How about the chemical companies that make and distribute these poisons?  Are they and their officers, owners and workers all guilty of murder?  How about all of the stores, owners and workers who handle, distribute or sell these items?  Are they guilty of murder? 

 

How about the farmers who buy these poisons to spray them over their fields (to make more profits)?  Are they guilty of murder?  How about the food processors, wholesalers and retailers, their owners and workers--all of whom are involved in making profits off of the food products containing these killers?  Are they guilty of murder? 

 

Moreover, should the so-called “golden rule” (do unto others as you would have them do unto you--Matt 7:12; Lu 6:31) have any application in secular society at large? 

 

Should inventors, producers, sellers, distributors, buyers, users, etc have any concern over this teaching?  Should the railroads, mentioned in a prior chapter, give any consideration at all about using poisons which will ultimately hurt, injure and kill people? 

 

How about love?  Would a person be practicing love by spraying poisons on food which another person will end up eating?  Should a cattle producer express any concern over feeding various poisons and waste and cannibalistic products to his cattle which are destined for slaughter at a meat packing plant? 

 

Suppose a man builds a factory which belches out a huge volume of deadly air pollutants that cause lung problems, cancer and death, as they are breathed over the years by people living down wind from the factory.  Does this represent love from the factory owner, his manager and employees, his stockholders, the bank that put the money up originally, the suppliers which provide raw materials and so forth? 

 

 

Cause and Effect 

 

The writer of this study is acquainted with a former neighbor man who owns several commercial rental buildings (discussed in a prior chapter).  When vacant, these buildings can have a mouse problem on occasion.  The owner indiscriminately uses rat poison in these empty buildings. 

 

This man likes to take boxes of poisons and open them up to be set out on carpeted floors.  Sometimes, he even spreads the poisons around on the carpeting.  Never mind that some of the poisons get into or stay in the carpeting and can affect people who later come into contact with it. 

 

Just think of all of the small children who will later play upon this carpeting.  Question, does this man bear any responsibility for using poisons which will later come into contact with innocent people--to perhaps kill and injure them? 

 

By the way, the man is dying of cancer.  Could there be a connection?  This building owner can never understand it, but rat poison is a poison which can kill humans, as well as rats.  Will he and his renters have to pay a price for his irresponsible spreading of this stuff around? 

 

Previous chapters herein have discussed the question of persons eating and consuming poisons which defile the temple of their body.  The Scriptures are very explicit in condemning the hurt of the body (Deut 4:15-16; Matt 5:16; Jo 8:34; Rom 8:13; 12:1; I Cor 3:16-17; 6:19-20; 10:31; II Cor 7:1; Eph 2:10; II Pet 2: 18-20).  Yes, it seems to be a sin to eat poisoned and defiled vegetables, meats and so forth. 

 

 

Some Scriptures 

 

Shlomo likely had modern sun worshippers in mind when he wrote that “the curse that is causeless (without justification) shall come home” (to the person who makes it--Prov 26:2, per the “Soncino Books of the Bible,” v. 11, p. 173).  Consequently, it could well be that any improper use of poisons (like the just mentioned rat poison) may come home to roost with the user. 

 

Perhaps the ingestion of a small amount of rat poison may not “immediately” kill a person, but an exposed individual can well pay the price for it perhaps 40 years later (as is true with asbestos fibers).  Too, as small amounts of poison are ingested over the years, they certainly build up to cause a speed up of judgment day. 

 

The great prophet Moshe died at the age of 120 in the land of Moab.  The Scriptures are careful to mention that at his death, his eyes were not dim nor his natural force abated (Deut 34:7). 

 

Surely, he was in reasonably good health at age 120 years.  While modern Americans are enjoying a longer life span now than those of a few years ago, as discussed in previous comments, questions must be asked about their health. 

 

Has the health of modern Americans deteriorated in their old ages?  In other words, are they sick, depressed and lingering on in life with all kinds of health problems and infirmities? 

 

Actually, many older Americans are in poor health.  They are living on pills, surgery and doctor visits (most of which are paid for by health insurance or Medicare).  So things are not as great as the establishment and controlled media would have people believe. 

 

Is it possible that Shlomo’s words in Proverbs 26:2 make real sense?  Is it not possible in the present American situation that all of the sickness and health problems of the aged are due to a curse which comes on them because of their own actions (or of the actions of their parents).  Perhaps by The ELOHIM’s way, old people are to maintain some sense of health without being sick invalids. 

 

So the fact that here in the early 21st century, life expectancy is up may be a real distortion about reality.  True, some people are living longer than earlier Americans (as elsewhere discussed), but their quality of life has plummeted.  Why? 

 

Obviously, the explosion in poisons (particularly, in chemical poisons) is taking a toll.  Older people are having to pay a price for their violations of YAH’s laws.  There is a cause and effect relationship in health. 

 

 

Revelation 11:18 

 

But murder from making, selling and distributing poisons to an ignorant, gullible public is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what YHWH says on this pollution theme.  Perhaps the most powerful remark of all was recorded by Yohanan in the Revelation where YESHUA returns to destroy them that destroy the earth (Rev 11:18). 

 

“The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament” suggests that the Greek “diaphtheiro” (translated as destroy in Rev 11:18) can mean “to kill, to be killed or to ruin without always totally destroying” (as might be the case in environmental pollution).  “Vine’s Greek Dictionary” says that the word means “to ruin by laying waste, to make havoc of.” 

 

The word earth in this text is from the Greek “ge” which refers to the “physical,” planet earth, as Vine’s “Greek Dictionary” and Young’s “Analytical Concordance” both suggest.  The point of Yohanan’s remarks is that the day will come when YESHUA has to intervene to stop man from ruining this physical planet as a place suitable for human habitation. 

 

 

Yes, Pollution is Sin 

 

Beyond this obvious reference, there are a host of other Scriptures--all of which condemn the pollution, uncleanness and curse (by man) upon the land (Gen 3:17; 6:11-13; Lev 15:31; 18:25;  Num 35:33-34; Ps 106:39-40; Isa 24:4-6, 16-20; 45:18; Jer 2:4-7; 3:2; Ezek 22:24, 31; Mic 2:10; Rom 8:22; II Cor 6:17; Gal 5:19; II Pet 2:10, 20). 

 

While some people might wish to read some of these references in the context of sin, generally, they certainly can literally be interpreted to address environmental pollution.  Some of them specifically focus on the uncleanness and pollution of the land (from man’s sins).  For example, Yirmeyahu says that the age end Yisrael polluted the land by her harlotry and wickedness (Jer 3:2, “Amplified Version”). 

 

Furthermore, Yirmeyahu wrote a condemnation of Yisrael (also for the age end) where YHWH says that He brought Yisrael into a garden land of fruit and goodness (obviously not into Canaan at the Exodus, but a later land grant after Yirmeyahu’s time) and Yisrael entered it and defiled it (Jer 2:7, “Rotherham Version”). 

 

The Torah specifically refers to Yisrael’s defilement of the land, as the other nations have done.  YHWH then charged that the land was under a curse and would spew out her guilty inhabitants (Lev 18:24-29; 20:22; 24:5-6, “Amplified Version”). 

 

Yechezkel mentioned that the land was not cleansed nor rained upon in the (age ending) day of indignation (Ezek 22:24, 31).  Rain cleanses first the air and then the land (somewhat) of environmental pollution. 

 

Yeshayahu had some choice remarks on man’s pollution of earth.  He wrote that “The earth has grown polluted through its people, Because they have flouted laws, violated statutes And broken the eternal covenant.  Therefore the earth is under a curse And its people are paying the price” (Isa 14:5-6, per the “J. B. Phillips Translation”). 

 

Finally, on the entire subject of environmental pollution and uncleanness, the Scriptures have some choice words on the reality that the bodies of the election are supposed to be kept clean so that they can be used as temples for The Spirit of The EL to dwell in, as discussed earlier (I Cor 3:17; 6:19-20).  Obviously, environmental pollutants and poisons all will damage, hurt and dirty that temple. 

 

 

Why--Environmental Pollution

 

The problem over pollution is that none of the historic sun worship cultures have ever been concerned over man-made chemicals and poisons, which abound in the environment because of the greed of producers.  None of the old sun worship cults or their Christian successors for the last 2,000 years have ever expressed any concern over the use of poisons in the contemporary culture. 

 

Since religions and religious leaders have all ignored the issue and expressed apathy and unconcern without teaching the people under their care, the public at large has been both ignorant and indifferent to the problem. 

 

Hence, people will produce chemical poisons, diseased cattle and death producing machines, right and left, as long as people are around to buy them (the same is true with pornography and smut).  In other words, money (profits) is the name of the game.  It’s been that way for many long ages (since the Babylonian capitalist system was established some 2,600 years ago). 

 

Therefore, when the chemical industry became established and organized some 200 years ago, the Christian sun worship culture readily accepted it without a question or a whimper.  Never mind that the produced chemicals would kill humans, animals, insects, trees, water sources and ultimately all life on this planet. 

 

 

Profit in the Christian West 

 

The point is that someone stood to make some profits from these poisons.  And Christian sun worshippers could care less when greed and profits are involved. 

 

One hundred years ago, the automotive and petroleum industries developed.  Again, the greed and selfishness over profits (of producers) and of over using automobiles (by consumers) completely overshadowed all other questions. 

 

Never mind that Adam had gotten along for 5,900 years without automobiles and never mind that they would kill and pollute.  Some persons stood to make profits.  Others stood to have a new convenience which would supposedly make their lives easier. 

 

Almost sixty years ago, when WWII ended, the sun worship Christian governments, society leaders and agricultural schools began pushing chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides (for profits). 

 

Of course, farmers got on the band wagon (for profits).  Never mind that the soil would be destroyed, that worms and friendly bacteria would be killed, that the water ways would be polluted and that people would die. 

 

And while the nuclear industry has not been under extensive study herein (essentially, except for the two prior chapters), it is patently obvious that nuclear products are absolutely the most killing and destructive of all (as was described in those two chapters). 

 

Yet, sun worshipping man continues to make, manufacture and use these products in a completely greedy and irresponsible fashion with little or no concern over their use and the future once they have been used. 

 

There is almost no organized resistance to environmental pollution today--apart from some left wing, New Age environmentalists, who worship mother earth (as will be further described in subsequent chapters). 

 

The point being is that the “approved” medical profession, Christian Churches; and of course, the Christian sun worship leaders and society have failed by not taking a stand on this and at least educating the ignorant public and/or outlawing the products. 

 

 

Indoor Plumbing 

 

A previous chapter discussed at some length the matter of water pollution and how septic tanks and water run-offs pollute, damage and eventuality destroy the underground water tables, rivers, creeks, streams, lakes and ultimately even the giant oceans.  Much of this tragedy can be laid directly to the doorstep of indoor plumbing. 

 

As highly desirable as indoor plumbing has been to modern man for the last 100 years or so (since man has replaced outdoor toilets with modern bathrooms with all of their conveniences), it has been terribly polluting and destructive to the entire water environment and extremely poisonous to humans and animals that must drink water to survive, along with the obvious detrimental effects upon life forms and species which live in water. 

 

Since indoor plumbing has been so utterly disastrous to the environment, one must pause and express some concern on whether the Scriptures address it in any manner to communicate YHWH’s will. 

 

Does the Word say anytime about indoor plumbing and the host of poisons, chemicals, sewage and garbage that are flushed down toilet stools and sink drains to enter septic tanks or sewer systems (which ultimately seep into the underground water table or run off to rivers and lakes to kill and poison fish and ultimately humans)? 

 

 

Deuteronomy 23:12-13 

 

Thus, should followers of YHWH YESHUA take to heart The ELOHIM’s Words and give some thought to indoor plumbing and human elimination? 

 

Maybe so since The HIGHEST seems to outline a procedure (commandment) for human waste which seems to establish a principle or guide for people who live by His Word by requiring the deposit of human waste into covered top soil (Deut 23:12-13). 

 

A first reading of Moshe’s words might lead a person to conclude that his remarks (actually YHWH’s commandment) apply only to soldiers in the field (Deut 23:9, 14).  However, that presentation probably has far more relevance than what this theoretical limitation would allow. 

 

Actually, the context in verse 9 was referring to the collective host of the nation of Yisrael for her entrance into Canaan land (and not necessarily to be directed at the previous 40 years of wilderness wanderings, as would be first supposed).  The word camp (Hebrew “machaneh” in verses 10-14 in the singular) is used regularly of the overall encampment (dwelling) site of the collective host of Yisrael (i.e. Ex 14:19). 

 

The thinking behind the commandment in this section of Deuteronomy was clearly set forth in verses 9 and 14 when YHWH declared His will to keep the overall camp sites of the Israelites clean and set apart (kodesh) by keeping the unclean (verse 14) and the evil/wicked things (verse 9) out. 

 

The unclean in verse 14 is from the Hebrew “ervah” which means “nakedness, disgracefulness” (“Young’s Analytical Concordance,” p. 1012).  

 

 

More 

 

The second use of machaneh (your camps) in verse 14 is in the plural in the Hebrew.  It probably includes the main camp site of the Israelites, as well as any sub camps for soldiers or whatever.  It is meant to apply to any camp or any sphere in which Israelites may temporarily or permanently settle (“The Pentateuch,” v. V, p. 461, by Samson Raphael Hirsch). 

 

In the “Soncino Edition of the Pentateuch and Haftorahs” (p. 847), Dr J. H. Hertz said that the evil thing (verse 9) refers to both personal and moral pollution.  The camp must be a place of purity to allow the presence of The MOST HIGH in the tabernacle.  Please notice that verses 10 and 11 focus on the broad aspects of ritual and personal uncleanness. 

 

This reference in the Torah has not been placed there to just fill up space.  Each and every Hebrew letter, word, phrase, verse and chapter in the Torah is pregnant with extraordinary and far reaching teaching and instruction in righteousness (Matt 5:18).  They are a guide for our lives and conduct.  They are words for believers to live by. 

 

Surely, this text is one like all of the others.  With its inclusion in the Torah, YHWH has intended that all Israelites take these instructions to mind for all the ages to follow.  Assuredly, it has meaning for us today just as it had meaning for Israelites some 3,500 years ago. 

 

 

The Essene Example 

 

These questions bring to mind the situation with the Essenes of 2,000 years ago, who were specifically known for their strict obedience of the Torah. 

 

They were well known for their daily use of the mikve (running, ritual, immersion bath) and for carrying a small shovel with them for burying their excrement, as YHWH prescribes (per David Pileggi, in an article on “Who Were the Essenes?,” appearing in the July-August 1990 “Jerusalem Perspective”). 

 

One of the provisions in the “Acts of the Torah” (a part of the Temple Scroll), found at Qumran (of apparent Essene origin), said that “All the laws of the Torah relating to the encampment of the Israelites, in the desert, apply by analogy to Jerusalem with the sanctuary taking the place of the Mosaic tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting” (“Who Wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls,” #5, p. 194). 

 

This reference required that latrines be 3,000 cubits outside Jerusalem so that they were not visible from the city.  Since this 3,000 cubits exceeded the 2,000 cubits allowed for walking on the Sabbath day, the Essenes in Jerusalem would not relieve themselves on the Sabbath day.  They waited until the Sabbath ended to walk (or run) the 3,000 cubits to the latrines (“Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls,” p. 102-103). 

 

Modern, sun worshipping Christians looking at this Essene example would laugh and make fun about it.  They would call it totally stupid, just as they would similarly react to YHWH’s law at Deuteronomy 23:12-13.  But were the Essenes stupid or were they committed to trying to obey The ELOHIM’s Torah (however right or wrong their methods may have been)? 

 

With this prevailing belief and interpretation of the Torah, in the context of Jerusalem, the Essenes made a similar provision for all other cities on the premise that “camp” in the law is equated with any city and the bans applicable to all cities (“Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls,” p. 102).  Thus, there is the likelihood that this law in Deuteronomy has broad application, as suggested herein. 

 

 

Why This Commandment? 

 

It is useful to note that human excrement, urine and waste matter will be attacked, destroyed and turned into compost and soil matter by bacteria very quickly when it is disposed of and covered in the first several inches of top soil.  Within a very few days, human wastes are gone when properly placed in top soil. 

 

When this stuff is deposited deep in the ground and rock strata with flushed water in septic tanks, it merely seeps (unless filtered by the rock strata) into the underground water table or other nearby water resources to pollute them (as outlined heretofore). 

 

The water propels these wastes deep into the earth and never allows them to be subjected to the desired action of soil bacteria (as does occur when wastes are properly deposited and covered with top soil).  Even wastes deposited upon the top of soil often decay slowly.  Yet, with a little soil/dirt covering, they will be attacked and destroyed rapidly. 

 

Although this writer does not have necessary facts on depositing wastes deep in the rock strata, it appears that any decomposition here does not occur rapidly (perhaps because the soil bacteria is simply not present or at least not present in any quantity).  In any case, the propelling of this stuff underground by water does not allow it to properly decompose as should be the situation. 

 

The wastes of most grass eating animals (cattle, deer, etc) are non-acidic, and they are designed to be deposited on the top of soil (they then provide natural fertilizer as they decay).  But the wastes of flesh eating animals (cats, dogs and so-called human beings) are reportedly acidic and they best decompose under some top soil (where the bacteria can immediately attack them). 

 

It appears that nature precisely recognizes this situation because both cats and canine animals attempt to handle their wastes properly.   Cats invariably dig a small hole for their waste and cover it.  Even canines attempt to cover their waste (though some domesticated dogs become careless and simply deposit their waste on top of the ground). 

 

But it is a common occurrence to see a dog try to scratch soil up and cover his waste after elimination.  When he finishes eliminating, he will often back off several inches and really dig into the soil and try to throw it over his deposit. 

 

In terms of the creation, it is a fluke, but man seems to be the only specie (which emits acidic waste) that is totally unconcerned about his waste and what it does to the environment.  And yet, the Torah addresses this thing from a very sensible and intelligent point of view.  Truly, human excrement should be deposited and covered within the first several inches of top soil. 

 

 

Other Issues 

 

There are other aspects on this subject which should not be overlooked.  First, there is always the possibility of catching a contagious disease in using public toilets.  Next, it is well to note that in primitive countries and among primitive peoples (where they regularly squat for bowel movements), hemorrhoids, bowel and colon problems are rare, as compared with what one finds in the Christian West with its stools and seats. 

 

The Arabs seem to have a unique twist on this issue.  They have indoor plumbing and use a water propelled sewage system for human waste and excrement.  However, their toilets do not have seats to sit upon.  Instead, Arabs squat over the toilet; and of course, receive the related health benefits.  The point of this is that there are health considerations which may have influenced YHWH to write His law on this as He did. 

 

Having just cited and described YHWH’s law (Deut 23:12-13) which seems to obligate believers to use an outdoor latrine facility of some sort; and to evidently carry a small shovel on trips to handle certain human feces-excrement, a word of caution is needed on this command and several more perhaps like it. 

 

 

The Positive Law Reality 

 

In the first place, this mitzwah (Deut 23:12-13) is a positive law (although there may be some negative law connotations in the context of the question of nudity and public exposure).  In this sense, it is possible that the focus is upon performing the mitzwah and not necessarily upon prohibiting alternative methods of handling human wastes when one cannot physically perform the command for legitimate reasons. 

 

Therefore, the idea may be to perform the mitzwah whenever possible and at all appropriate times and opportunities.  And there is great joy and a blessing every time a person is privileged to obey and perform a mitzwah. 

 

Manifestly, these are some of the works of the law which will affect a person’s future rewards in the Kingdom (not salvation or the granting of life which comes as a free gift of grace from YHWH YESHUA’s sacrifice and death and which is utterly not dependent upon works, as discussed in previous chapters). 

 

If it is not possible to obey this law (because of circumstances beyond the purview of a person), perhaps there may or may not be a resulting wrong (sin).  This writer would not and cannot be dogmatic on this point.  It is possible that if a transgression does result, it is of an “asham” classification (previously described). 

 

Asham sins can be properly addressed and properly dealt with, as outlined in the former chapter.  Please understand that the asham wrong or sin arises from involuntary and unavoidable actions and is in a considerably different category than wrongs done which could be avoided and would obviously be far more serious. 

 

Hence, questions of wrong doing and determining how that wrong doing is defined probably hangs to some extent upon the circumstances present and the role a believer has played in bringing those circumstances to bear. 

 

If a person is irresponsible, careless and apathetic about the command, any resulting wrong will likely be somewhat different and far more serious than if a person is going the extra mile to obey and perform the mitzwah. 

 

The true believer must always want to perform a positive command whenever the opportunity arises.  We all should go out of our way and rejoice when the chance comes up (even if it is a matter of pulling a neighbor’s ox from a ditch).  As far as possible in our lives, we each need to arrange our personal affairs and lives in such a manner so that we can obey all of the Torah, including all of the positive commands. 

 

 

Possible Exceptions

 

On this law of burying human wastes in the soil (or just depositing urine on top of the ground, as seems allowable and logical in most instances since the urine immediately seeps into the top soil), it is surely YHWH’s way.  But in the contemporary society, occasions do surface where this option is out of the question and even when a believer has went the extra mile to arrange his life and affairs in such a way to obey. 

 

For example, if people escaping to Jerusalem are on an airplane or ship at sea (which seems to be necessitated by a positive command to flee to Jerusalem to the very elect) and the need arises, the available facilities will have to be used. 

 

This is in keeping with what the Apostle Shaul did on his journeys across the Mediterranean Sea when he traveled from place to place in ships and boats at sea for extended periods.  He literally would have had to use the available facilities.  He would have been prevented from performing the Deuteronomy 23 command, as written in the Torah, since there was no other alternative. 

 

Obviously, a person must use his head on this command.  The matter of disposing of human urine in or on top of the soil (in appropriate situations) is considerably easier than having to bury human excrement.  Clearly, the ability of a man to dispose of his urine is a far simpler proposition than that of a woman.  These factors are manifestly important to consider. 

 

Also, in the generic sense, a believer traveling or moving about in downtown Manhattan or in most city and town areas would be arrested and cause an uproar to try to perform this mitzwah in public (even if in the context that the believer has a legitimate reason for being in a downtown, urban area). 

 

Yet, an individual traveling in a rural area can often find a nearby road or trail leading to unpopulated areas or at least wooded areas to perform this mitzwah.  Even when traveling across country, one can find isolated rural areas by being alert and on the look-out.  A person in need can sometimes put that need off temporarily when the conditions are just not right for elimination. 

 

In the sense that there seems to be negative commands prohibiting nudity and disgrace in public places (apparently communicated in Deuteronomy 23:12-13 and elsewhere), the negative commands certainly would raise questions on trying to have bowel movements in a public display. 

 

For those people living in built-up, residential areas, they need to consider moving to a rural area with some privacy, not only for the benefit of this command, but for other reasons to follow in the subsequent chapter on urban living.  Urban living is simply not the best course to follow in order to try to obey The ELOHIM. 

 

 

More Potential Problems 

 

Moreover, on this mitzwah, various other commands could also be similar in certain respects--like the ones outlined in a prior chapter on cutting, puncturing or mutilations of the human flesh and especially in the context of surgery, immunizations, blood lettings, etc. (Lev 19:28; 21:5; Deut 14:1; Jer 16:6; 48:37; I Cor 6:15; I Thes 5:23). 

 

In terms of trying to live and exist in the present contemporary society, these commandments can be hard to keep at best, and sometimes perhaps even impossible--if they are to be interpreted in the strict sense, as allowed herein in this discussion. 

 

The present, contemporary Christian sun worship culture is not geared up to obeying YHWH’s Torah.  Actually, the contemporary Christian sun worship society is totally opposed to YHWH’s Torah and has made it very difficult for believers to obey YHWH (not impossible, just difficult!).  Therefore, a person trying to obey is constantly met with hindrances and obstacles. 

 

Mention was made previously of the situation where an elect person could be trying to escape from a falling House of Yisrael to go to Jerusalem (in accordance with the flee command).  Today, almost all international travel necessitates vaccines.  What can a follower of YESHUA do in such a case? 

 

In the sense that there is a positive command to the very elect to flee to Jerusalem, one might consider the possibility that the positive fleeing command takes precedence over the negative command prohibiting the cutting and puncturing of the skin.  Apparently, in the Word, positive commands do seem to usually take precedence over negative commands. 

 

Suppose a couple wants to get married and must legally register it with the state, in the form of a marriage license, and with an acknowledged authority within society (at least, in those states which crack down upon supposed open fornication).  Most or all states will not allow a marriage without a blood test. 

 

On the surface, this requirement may seem to have some merit.  Valuable data on health and disease can be learned from a blood test.  Should a believer submit to the blood test in this instance? 

 

Without being dogmatic and in the context that each disciple of YESHUA must study the Word and make his own decision, this writer will only offer the possibility that the cutting and puncturing law is a negative mitzwah--while there seems to be positive commands to marry and have children.  If true, the positive commands should take precedence over the negative mitzwah. 

 

 

Care Is Needed 

 

This writer would not dare try to be dogmatic in stipulating what a believer should do in any particular situation.  However, it is possible that The ELOHIM has purposely worded some laws in such a way that there can be some legitimate flexibility in applying them in certain situations. 

 

In other words, based on the literal words involved, questions can arise as to the application of those laws.  Frankly, it appears that “probably” the interpretations outlined herein are basically correct and even in the context that most of these cited laws and several more like them are quite complex. 

 

In thinking about these commandments and the incredible difficulty or indeed perhaps impossibility to always (100%) obey them in all situations, this writer is uncertain of what solution to impose.  Being uncertain, the laws have been cited and my personal feelings about them have also been outlined.  Now, the need to use some study, caution and wisdom is being suggested. 

 

 

Purposely Complicated 

 

It is “possible” that The MOST HIGH has purposely clouded the precise messages in those laws and several more with some complex statements (in the context of literal interpretations) to allow some flexibility and judgment on the part of the election in applying and obeying those laws in this present wicked, rebellious, sun worshipping culture and society. 

 

Thus, while seeing the need to deposit human waste in the first several inches of top soil and covering it, the law does “seem” to literally address soldiers in the field.  At a first reading, a non-soldier might immediately say that this doesn’t apply to me.  It is only through study, interpretation and attempting to understand YHWH’s will that the student of truth can go beyond a first reading of the law. 

 

As a minimum, when the very elect people of the previously mentioned Philadelphia Congregation make their move to safety in the wilderness of Petra in the future, they will at last fully understand and obey the implications of Deuteronomy 23:12-13.  For sure, there will be no indoor plumbing at Petra and it is manifest that the very elect will be obligated to obey Deuteronomy 23:12-13 without argument or dissent. 

 

Having opened the door to the “possibility” of “some” flexibility in applying these laws, there is a final point to consider.  If these laws do allow some flexibility, in those few situations just cited and similar ones, the truth is that this flexibility must be limited.  It is not general and a discretionary option that a person can do or not do depending upon his or her personal wishes. 

 

Probably, the mitzwot should be obeyed in the context outlined herein.  However, in those situations where certain laws cannot be precisely obeyed, as outlined herein for legitimate reasons beyond the control of the believer, maybe this is a condition arising which allows some flexibility.  For example, a positive command of YHWH usually takes precedence over a negative command, as just noted above. 

 

 

One Must Use His Head 

 

As just outlined, these mitzwot may apply as described.  But if a believer is trying to obey YHWH, by fleeing to Jerusalem (a necessary action to obey The MOST HIGH), then maybe there is some flexibility.  Certainly, any application of flexibility must be made on the basis of clear necessity and not just because of irresponsibility about YHWH’s mitzwot and the personal desires of a person. 

 

Fleeing to Jerusalem in compliance with YHWH’s Word and clear teachings for the election (which is necessary) is a far cry different situation than a person taking an around the world airplane trip for personal pleasure and entertainment (which is unnecessary and need not be done to obey The ELOHIM). 

 

Having surgery because a sun worshipping human doctor suggests it (which can be unnecessary and wrong) is far different than having an immunization to comply with a state law on an escape to Jerusalem, as outlined by YHWH (which is necessary). 

 

 

The Short of It 

 

In short, if there is a purposeful allowance in some of these commandments for some discretion, then that allowance is limited and it is precisely limited to necessary situations beyond the control of the believer and not present to allow a believer an excuse or escape hatch to disobey YHWH’s laws. 

 

The true believing person of faith should always want to go the extra mile and do everything humanly possible to obey The ELOHIM. 

 

Moreover, as mentioned in former chapters on the Torah, the point must be made that YHWH’s mitzwot, either individually or in certain groups, communicate broad principles and overall positions on different themes in the contemporary society. 

 

They reflect YHWH’s thinking and feelings on a topic and must be studied carefully to appreciate the big picture.  It appears that some of The ELOHIM’s mitzwot on the environment and pollution fit into this category. 

 

In other words, YHWH didn’t need to legislate the thousands of specific situations involved where man could pollute and defile his underground drinking water supply (from wells which have been historically used).  Instead, He outlined broad principles (as Deuteronomy 23:12-13 and other Scriptures probably state). 

 

 

Why? 

 

In thinking about this issue of why The MOST HIGH might have linked the question of environmental pollution to sin, this writer would like to pose a possibility on the why.  Certainly, The HIGHEST was not attaching sin to this subject on any premise of pantheism or the worship of the earth (as many modern people are now doing in the context of the New Age and environmental movements). 

 

No!  There is absolutely no basis whatsoever to justify the worship of the earth, sticks, stones, rocks, animals, birds, trees, the air, the ozone layer and so forth.  Yet manifestly, there are mitzwot that address these themes from the standpoint of duties for the Adam kind. 

 

The best view on why The ELOHIM does broach this issue in the vein of sin arises in that the inanimate earth involves features or aspects of its presence which affects human life.  Yes, when man pollutes his drinking water, he commits sin in not only speeding along his own death (his own murder); but assuredly, the death and murder of all other so-called human beings. 

 

The same reasoning applies to the ozone layer and virtually all facets on human existence on this planet.  There is a mitzwah which prohibits murder (the sixth commandment of the Decalogue).  Man lacks authority to kill other men, except as expressly allowed in the Scriptures (as is discussed elsewhere herein). 

 

In the case of animals, birds, fish and so forth, the case is not just over killing them (because man clearly has authority to kill these various forms of wildlife, in proper circumstances, as established in previous comments herein).  But The SOVEREIGN has legislated laws in the Torah which impose upon man a duty to not abuse or hurt them unnecessarily. 

 

 

The Bottom Line 

 

Consequently, it appears to be sin for man to poison the waterways that animals must drink from or poison the air that animals must breath.  Yes, the sin question can extend to all kinds of things that have nothing whatsoever to do with the worship or adoration of the inanimate earth or its various life forms.  For sure, pantheism in any of its forms is wrong. 

 

The insanity of earth worship in today’s modern world (by people like the former Vice-President Al Gore Jr) will be addressed in later chapters. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 277--The Urban Plight

 

 

Urban Living 

 

Besides the variously mentioned environmental pollution problems in city living (where they are very bad and especially pronounced), there are at least six other issues which combine to make urban living a very questionable practice. 

 

These six include--the impersonal environment; congestion; crime and violence; governmental inefficiency, dishonesty and oppression; racial problems; and general prevailing immorality (as will be addressed in the following remarks and later chapters). 

 

As noted in the previously mentioned statements on pollution, serious questions must be raised about a supposed believer and follower of YHWH YESHUA who creates, makes, manufactures, builds or produces pollution and uncleanness which kill, hurt or damage one’s self or other persons and their health. 

 

Thus, second hand smoke from cigarettes, discussed earlier, is not only bad for the smoker, but sin questions must surface when a smoker spreads his sin around to hurt other people as well.  This reasoning extends all the way to the whole distribution system of everything and everybody that handles and distributes any such items of sin to kill and hurt other people. 

 

So moral questions must arise over the farmer that sprays his fields with a deadly pesticide; over the people that produce and sell the poison; over the farm laborers who pick the products; and over the various truckers, wholesalers and retailers and their owners and workers that handle and distribute the products. 

 

Consequently, city living means that persons must become engaged in some type of occupation which inevitably raises serious moral questions of sin and righteousness.  And of course, indoor plumbing is a virtual necessity in the urban situation.  Clearly, it is not for believers of truth.

 

 

The World Government Implications 

 

Possibly, one of the worst features of congested, urban living is the fact that it allows a dictatorial, oppressive government to exercise closer and tighter control over the population.  When people are in rural areas and spread out on farms, a Big Brother government finds oppression far more difficult to impose and sustain. 

 

In order to bring about the New World Order for world government, which will be addressed in detail in later chapters, there has been a Satanic conspiracy for some years forcing people off of the farms and rural habitat into city living.  Not only have giant corporations taken over farm production (forcing small farmers out of business), but governments have passed laws forcing people into city areas. 

 

For example, a few years ago, Oregon passed a state law which effectively says that a person cannot build a home in a rural area unless it is on a specified large tract of land (of something like 200 acres or so).  The idea is that it is no longer possible in Oregon for a relatively poor person to build a home on a small acreage. 

 

Of course, a loop hole has been built into the law to allow a very rich individual to buy a large tract of land and build a home.  This law has been made to restrict and limit the masses (and not the fat cats).  Under the law, it means that more and more people will be forced into city or town areas.  Obviously, this allows Big Brother to monitor and regulate them more carefully. 

 

Whole books can be (and have been) written on the horrors of city living.  It’s bad enough for adult persons, but it is far more undesirable and bad to try to bring up children in such a congested, evil environment.  In short, city living is a plight not fit for human habitation! 

 

A heretofore discussion on occultic symbols commented upon the great eagle as being the historic emblem of sun worship societies--all the way from pagan Rome of 2,000 years ago to Germany’s Third Reich and on to the United States.  

 

While this sign persists, another emblem for urban American cities might be the common, American cockroach which now completely dominates urban living (for years, scientists studying nuclear war suggested that in such a case, only durable  cockroaches might survive).  Having said that, it would be well now to look at the Scriptures on the basic theme. 

 

 

Farms for the Faithful 

 

When Adam sinned, The HIGHEST put him under a curse, of sorts, which dictated that he (and obviously his descendants as well) would have to work hard by the sweat of his brow to eat and subsist on the land (Gen 3:17-19).  So, from the beginning, The ELOHIM decreed that Adam was to be a farmer who was to work the land in order to live. 

 

The immediate post flood situation certainly was one of farming for Noah and his sons (Gen 9:1-20).  The patriarchs Avraham, Yitzhak and Yakov Yisrael were assuredly involved in agriculture with animals and herds and so forth. 

 

The nomadic tribes of Yisrael (in the 40 years of wandering following the Exodus) clearly were farmers of sorts when they had to daily (except on Sabbaths) go out and pick the manna which YHWH provided to them for food. 

 

On entering Canaan land, the Israelites, collectively, were ordained by YHWH to be farmers living in a rural environment (and that’s why the tithe was totally linked to agriculture products).  The land was divided into small parcels and given to each and every family with a provision that it could never be sold. 

 

They could effectively lease it or rent it out for 49 years; but in the Jubilee, the land returned to its rightful family owners. 

 

YHWH evidently made no provision for city or urban living in the entire Israelite economy, except for the cities of refuge and cities of the Levites (who did not share in the allocation of the land--Josh 20-21).  On these so-called cities, it should be noted that they were essentially very tiny villages, probably of just a few Levite families.  They were obviously small and nothing by today’s standards. 

 

While the aged Yehoshua (re)built a city (again a small village) on his plot of ground (Josh 19:50), it seems that Israelites generally just remained on the farm; although there were a few craftsmen, builders, masons and carpenters around who could make useful products of metal, wood, etc.  But most of these craftsmen likely were farmers who worked their craft as an additional effort. 

 

Even as late as David and Shlomo’s times, it appears that Israelites were still essentially on the land where each dwelt on his own farm and under his own vine and fig tree (I Kg 4:25).  Later, the same situation prevailed--along with each having his own water supply and/or cistern (Isa 36:16). 

 

The private, personal ownership of these small farms was guaranteed in YHWH’s Torah because the land could never legally be sold.  Whenever a person lost his land, it would return to him or his children in the Jubilee which occurred every 49 years, as noted above (Lev 25:10). 

 

 

The Modern Energy Problem 

 

The on-again and/or off-again US oil supplies in the late 20th and early 21st centuries have prompted much attention in both the media and among the American population.  Often, there are man-on-the-street interviews to supposedly reflect the public’s opinion on the problem and what should be done to correct it (like should the Bush plan to drill for oil in the protected Arctic area be allowed or not, etc?). 

 

While most Americans have different ideas on the source of the problem and on possible solutions, one thing stands out for sure.  Most Americans, almost without exception, are totally dedicated to the present American way of life with its abundance of technology, gadgets, affluent living, etc, all in the context of the alleged good life (whatever that is). 

 

In addressing this condition, most Americans are adamant that they are not prepared to give up this so-called good life and accept anything different.  Many of them can see that high flying airplanes are destroying the wonderful ozone layer (that protects man from the sun), but none of them are prepared to talk about grounding airplanes. 

 

In terms of the energy crisis and the increasingly unavailable status of energy, most Americans launch into a tirade that they are not going to become peasant farmers in order to survive.  This writer has heard this very expression from some Americans in regards to the present energy situation. 

 

On hearing it from proud, arrogant Americans, the thought inevitably comes to me that this is precisely what many men will be doing in the world tomorrow.  Much of so-called humanity will be precisely that--peasant farmers. 

 

This is the Scriptural proscription and it will one day be the way.  These arrogant Americans now demeaning this type of living will be in a shock when they have to live that way to survive. 

 

 

Small Villages 

 

Therefore, in the world tomorrow, most people will be on the land and will be precisely peasant farmers.  Giant cities and urban living will be out (just as they were out in early Yisrael in the theocracy and even in the kingdom days). 

 

True, the Levitical cities were present and remained.  Too, David established Jerusalem as his capital.  But these towns were all very small, as noted above.  Essentially, they were a place for the Levites (who worked for YHWH and had no inheritance) and perhaps a place where a few craftsmen lived and some soldiers and government officials were stationed. 

 

Even Jerusalem, the city of David, was fairly small in its early days with no appreciable population--other than the Levites, government officials and soldiers. 

 

By New Testament times, it is evident that some craftsmen were still around (like Yosef, the carpenter, living in Nazareth--Matt 13:55) and the significant presence of Amalekite bankers and Canaanite traders, although they were not held in much esteem in the Israelite economy, as established previously. 

 

Likewise, the early American colonial culture saw almost all of the people on the land as farmers.  There were a few so-called towns.  However, they were largely nothing but a country store (which also was the post office), and maybe a nearby family or two who also were engaged in farming, if not retired.  There were almost no factories and only isolated schools. 

 

There were a few craftsmen and builders around in early America, as was true in ancient Yisrael.  But even these people were often farmers who practiced their crafts on the side.  Otherwise, each family essentially produced about everything that it needed for use and consumption. 

 

While Colonial and later US laws would ignore the Scriptural requirements of the land ownership, remaining with its original owners, and to be returned every 49th year in the Jubilee, it is important to note that the early American farms were owned by their inhabitants.  Thus, Americans were on the land and they owned their own farms. 

 

 

The Change 

 

However, things began to change to urban living and big business in America--especially after WWII.  It has to be profoundly significant that in 1900 America, some 97% of the people were self employed--either on their own farms or by owning small businesses, trades and crafts (shoe shops, blacksmiths, etc). 

 

Today, that percentage has completely reversed itself with almost all Americans now on welfare or working for the government or large corporations (as discussed on the Rush Limbaugh radio talk show program on Dec 29, 1998).  

 

This change in demographics is made clear in some more statistics.  For example, in 1900, 60% of the US population were in rural areas.  In 2000, only 25% of the people were in rural areas (Jan 29, 2001, “Spotlight,” p. 2).  In 1900, there were 2,226 daily newspapers (mostly individually owned).  Today, there are only 1,489 dailies (which are almost all owned or controlled by a handful of bankers on Wall Street). 

 

Virtually no one has any independence today.  Almost the entire population is totally subservient to Big Brother in Washington, DC or corporate Big Brothers on Wall Street.  Add to this reality the fact that almost everyone in 1900 owned their own homes and it is clear that a change for the bad has occurred. 

 

And yet, the contemporary, warped sun worship leadership and society does actually have the gall to try to tell themselves and the gullible public that things are better today than heretofore in American history. 

 

It should not take many brains for people to figure out that they are better off to own their own homes and be self employed and self reliant rather than be zombies, answering to a big power in Washington or on Wall Street. 

 

In terms of the world tomorrow (and particularly in the millennium, when YHWH YESHUA rules the earth with a rod of iron), the surviving global population will return to the land and become essentially small farmers where every man has his own fields, livestock, vines and fig trees (Isa 14:1; 30:23-26; Mic 4:4). 

 

 

Commerce to Change 

 

In fact, the world’s present Babylonian, capitalistic, commercial system will seemingly be destroyed for 70 years, before any sense of organized commerce (to particularly include international trade) resumes under new direction (Isa 23:15; Rev 18:11).  This present system is categorically doomed.  It is evil, and it will not continue in the world tomorrow. 

 

While in historic times, commerce and trade were largely in the hands of individuals and small traders, times have changed with the development of large capitalistic corporations which are sometimes even bigger than various governments.  It is these large corporations which are pushing international trade presently. 

 

Many of these giant corporations are conglomerates and multi-nationals--involved in different things and stretched out all over the globe.  They are very impersonal and operate essentially for profit by greed and without ethics. 

 

Often, employees are like moving robots who come and go with some frequency and with no particular personal attachment to customers.  YHWH’s laws have no place or status in the typical large corporation. 

 

While sometimes stock ownership is extensive, it is an interesting fact that in most instances a few individuals can own a controlling block of stock; and they are then able to manage and control the corporation for their own purposes (often, with about 3% of stock ownership).  In many cases, a few super rich fat cats and/or investment bankers on Wall Street effectively own and/or control almost all large corporations. 

 

The power of this control will be assessed in later chapters and in presentations on the super rich and their control of the American media.  For now, it must be acknowledged that the big boys have completely transformed the American sun worship culture and civilization in a little over 100 years (since the US Civil War). 

 

Today, American people are no longer on the land, as is the Scriptural proscription.  More and more, they are frustrated and unhappy robots living in cities and working for the government or giant corporations owned or controlled by a few fat cats--usually on Wall Street, as noted above.  

 

 

Corporation Evils 

 

Manifestly, corporations, which owe their existence to a piece of paper issued by the state (authorizing them to exist), are absolutely unscriptural.  They are contrary to the Word; and the big ones, in particular, are a force for evil (although some of them may “theoretically” do some good).  They will one day be judged and weighed in the balances by The ELOHIM. 

 

Like so much of the Western Christian civilization, the corporate form of business organization has its origin in ancient, sun worshipping Greece.  Peter Kershaw of the Heal Our Land Ministry of Branson, Missouri says that the early Romans picked up on corporations from the Greeks.  By 250 BCE, corporations were a fact of life in ancient Rome. 

 

Peter notes that some 90% of modern Christian Churches are organized as corporations with the IRS tax exempt status of being a 501c(3) corporation.  Since Christianity has chosen this position, it means that Christian preachers are unable to say anything in their pulpits which can be construed as political in nature.

 

Modern Christian preachers are unable to criticize the sins and wickedness of politicians like Slick Clinton or they will lose their tax exempt status.  Fearing this loss (which could mean a cut back in funds), most Christian corporations keep their mouths shut on all so-called secular/political issues.  Their mouths are closed.  Criticism of evil politicians (for sodomy, etc) is just out of the question from most Christian pulpits. 

 

Kershaw makes the case that per the US Constitution and even the IRS code, there is no need for churches to incorporate or obtain a tax exempt status since they are automatically tax exempt.  Charitable/religious entities (churches and synagogues) were always tax exempt in America and long before Lyndon Johnson cunningly added churches to the 501c(3) category of organizations in 1964. 

 

Perhaps the Church of Christ is the best illustration of all of a large Christian denomination which does not incorporate, nor does its churches obtain a IRS 501c(3) status of tax exemption.  Religious bodies can open bank accounts, own and transfer property, receive contributions and so forth without being incorporated or having a 501c(3) status. 

 

Per the IRS code and the US Constitution (the first amendment), any person contributing money to a church or synagogue can automatically deduct that contribution--regardless of whether that church or synagogue is or is not a 501c(3) corporation.  Contributors in the Church of Christ always get tax deductions on their contributions. 

 

 

Corporations Will Be Out! 

 

So the corporation idea is definitely a part and parcel of the Christian civilization.  The world tomorrow and its religious and commercial systems will not be run by corporations. 

 

When the Babylonian sun worship system is eventually judged and destroyed, the corporate form of organization will end.  There will surely be no banks or bankers and certainly no stocks or bonds being traded on Wall Street (the likes of Wall Street will be closed down--permanently!). 

 

The whole, present, capitalistic, commercial, monetary and economic systems will terminate.  After all, they should terminate because they were founded on the principles of pagan sun worship from their inception in ancient Babylon, during the days of Nebuchadnezzar some 2,500 years ago. 

 

Obviously, man has went far astray from the outline in the Book with congested, sick cities with the resulting pollution and the ownership of virtually everything in the hands of powerful multi-national corporations which operate essentially for greed and profits.  This condition won’t be found in the Kingdom age when YESHUA rules the nations with a rod of iron. 

 

 

The Impersonal Society 

 

One of the fall-outs of city living and the presence of huge corporations (owned by far-away distant owners) is the fact that society becomes extremely impersonal (as outlined above, as one of the bad features of the urban society). 

 

It seems that in such an urban, impersonal society, no one knows his neighbor or anything about his neighbor.  Yet, a paradox ensues because government itself is extremely involved in spying upon the whole population and maintaining detailed computer files about all facets of all people (this course will be described and commented upon at length in chapters hereafter). 

 

Not only do people generally know little or nothing about their neighbors, they could care less who their neighbors are or what their neighbors do.  Thus, if homosexual perverts, pornography sellers or proven pedophiles move in next door, most people could care less (although a few persons with small children might express some concern over proven pedophiles moving in on their turf--if they find out about it). 

 

In early America (and especially, in rural America), if queers, pedophiles or porno operators moved in next door, people would be alarmed and take action to expel the undesirables from their locale.  If government could not deal with them, the local people would raise up vigilante groups to deal with the problem (as happened with the Ku Klux Klan which certainly would oppose open perverts and miscegenators). 

 

But times have changed.  Today, no one cares at all about his neighbors--what they do or anything else.  In fact, most urban people don’t even know their neighbors.  So, how could they care one whit about their neighbors--one way or the other. 

 

 

Stealing Identities 

 

News reports were ablaze in late November 2002 with a story out of New York that a gang of crooks had been stealing personal identification data about people with good credit ratings and using the stolen data to rip off various banks and lending institutions.  The Nov 26, 2002, Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. A1, A4) had a story by Larry Neumeister on “Three arrested in massive identity theft case” which offered the details. 

 

Per the report, this operation started with a man named Philip Cummings, help-desk worker at Teledata Communications in Long Island.  He would down-load passwords and codes on consumer credit reports from the Internet and sell this data to some twenty other people who would proceed to use the data to drain consumer bank accounts or obtain credit. 

 

Some $2.7 million was stolen from 30,000 people--apparently from several different credit agencies.  Some 15,000 credit reports came from one company called Experian, and with the use of passwords from the Ford Motor Credit Corporation.  Victims reported that funds had been withdrawn from their accounts and unauthorized charges were made. 

 

One woman said that the crooks had stolen her ID and opened a line of credit at a bank for $35,000 on one day, and wrote a check against it the next day for $34,000.  There was concern by authorities that many victims had not yet even learned about how their credit had been ruined by these crooks. 

 

 

My Experience 

 

As will be described in a later chapter herein, this writer had a tragic experience along the same lines a few years ago in Spokane, Washington.  A thief stole some blank checks from my car which had my name and address imprinted on them.  The crook then proceeded to cash the checks over the Spokane area. 

 

Initially, this writer gave the issue little concern (because i was still operating under the delusion that any business taking a check would make some effort to obtain some suitable identification and that the bank would verify the signature on the check to see if it was valid.  However, in a discussion with one of the banks, i learned that neither of these things happen). 

 

Retail businesses will willingly take checks from people and rarely, if ever, ask to see identification.  One Safeway manager told me that his cashiers were often simply too busy to waste time checking IDs.  Since the losses from stolen checks were not that large, overall, it was more practical to just absorb them (which means that the customers of Safeway pay for the losses in the price of food that they buy). 

 

While these losses at retail stores or at some bank never affected me directly, they did come home to haunt me in another unique way.  My credit was damaged.  Per the view of businesses and credit agencies, i had checks bouncing all over Spokane. 

 

Since my address was on the checks, it wasn’t long before i was hit with a surge of demands from credit agencies for the money.  i could write or call them and say that the checks were not mine, but that was not enough.  They wanted a notarized statement from the bank or a police report on the theft.  Obviously, this cost me much time, money and effort to resolve the losses.  In short, it was a nightmare! 

 

 

The Why? 

 

So, how can these rip-offs occur?  The answer is because the society is very impersonal.  People simply don’t know anything about their neighbors, their customers, their lodge brethren, their Christian Church members (some large Christian Churches have literally thousands of members), and on and on.  Almost everyone which a person has some contact with is a stranger of sorts. 

 

In the old days, a person knew his neighbors; he knew and was known by retail stores that he did business with; and he was known at his local bank (which would never have loaned money to people, short of this personal knowledge). 

 

Today, almost all of these businesses are owned by extremely wealthy fat cats on Wall Street.  While the owners may have some knowledge and information on many of their employees, they are widely separated from their customers.  Since the local employees in these large businesses (huge multi-national corporations) are like robots, even they often know little about their customers. 

 

It is precisely this pathetic sick environment which will not let people know much, if anything, about other persons whom they have contact with.  Since the ability to steal an identification is so easy and since society, in general, could care less about it, crooks that steal or manipulate things often get away with their dishonesty. 

 

Is there a solution?  Well, suffice to say, this impersonal and unfamiliar environment is not YHWH’s way.  Accordingly, it will one day end when man must go back to the land (and the rural situation where he does know his neighbors) and large corporations will close down and be no more.  For sure, the big cities likely will be history. 

 

 

Dr Nikola Tesla, Revisited 

 

An earlier chapter mentioned the work of a famous inventor named Nikola Tesla.  Probably, he had one of the greatest minds among men in the field of electricity.  He actually did experiments on and developed systems for extracting free energy out of the atmosphere and transmitting it without using electric power lines. 

 

Can any of us imagine what the modern culture and society would be today without electric power lines, generating companies, fossil fuel power plants, nuclear power installations and so forth?  Yet, this is technology that could have come into play.  The reasons that it did not materialize will be assessed in a subsequent chapter on the plutocrats. 

 

 

Why? 

 

So, if Adam man has went in the wrong direction on cities and towns and the polluting issue, a question must now focus on why?  Interestingly, the Word seems to answer that question. 

 

One of the first things which Cain did when he went to the land of Nod was to build a city (Gen 4:16-17).  If Cain was the Zoroaster, who founded Zoroastrianism (as discussed earlier), it might be that this first city (with all of its evils) was a product of sun worship theology. 

 

Later, the Word suggested the work of the evil Nimrod (husband of Ishtar-Easter and one of the earliest sun gods) in beginning, founding or building the city of Babel (Gen 10:8-11:9, per KJV).  Babel or Babil is typically rendered as Babylon in most English translations. 

 

Babel or Babylon, of course, means confusion which has been indicative of all of the sun worship faiths from the earliest times to even today in organized Christendom.  Yes, Christianity is a classic illustration of Babylon, as suggested elsewhere in this study. 

 

In “Come Out of Her My People” (p. 90), C. J. Koster reflects that ancient Babylonian literature indicates that Babylon or Babel was founded by Bel (Baal).  This fact from history suggests that Nimrod became deified as the sun god Bel or Baal at a very early time.  So sun worship is closely tied to Babylon! 

 

 

Modern Babylon 

 

The evils, shortcomings and downfalls of cities are well illustrated in the Word; and of course, all one must do is take a look at the modern, contemporary cities around the world to see the squalor, depravity, sin and sickness.  If one city demonstrates all that is bad, it might be New York which is extremely disgusting in the sense of its presence in a prosperous and blessed nation. 

 

Manifestly, New York City is modern Babylon in many respects--like in its geography and role of being perhaps the capitol of the Babylonian commercial, financial, and economic systems (the world’s monetary system may also possibly center in New York, though the City in London is the better bet--to be later discussed herein). 

 

In this sense, any reference to prophetic Babylon must be considered in the context of New York City, as well as other definitions (like Rome for religious Babylon and Babylon on the Euphrates for the eventual political capitol of the world). 

 

By all means, the ancient Babel or Babylon has survived and surfaces once more in world power and influence in the age end when the whore woman Mystery Babylon rides the age end beast (Rev 17; 18). 

 

Additionally, one can mention Nineveh, built by the sun worshipping Assyrians (Gen 10:11), and especially ancient Sodom and Gomorrah, likely ruled by sun worshipping faggots (Gen 19:1-28). 

 

In turning to the New Testament, the reader is struck with the many, many cities mentioned and particularly those visited by Shaul the apostle.  Luke (in Acts) and Shaul (in his letters) repeatedly mention the evil, false, pagan worship in all of these places.  From history, it is apparent that the old sun worship cults ruled all of them without exception.  In short, their populations were essentially sun worshippers. 

 

 

The Bottom Line

 

The bottom line on this subject seems to be that historically sun worshippers have built, flocked to and desired cities with all of their inherent problems and shortcomings.  It hasn’t mattered to these sun worshippers because their faiths and beliefs were never on the Scriptures. 

 

So they could have cared less what YHWH ordained for His people.  Consequently, modern Rome, New York, London, Paris, San Francisco (queers and all), etc are all products of the established, Western, sun worship culture and clearly are contrary to YHWH’s Word, respecting what He had in mind for His people. 

 

The one thing that can be said for most of these just mentioned cities (and especially those in the House of Yisrael lands) is that they will one day be judged by YHWH and destroyed (Ezek 4-7). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 278--The Environmental Movement I

 

 

The Motion 

 

The just completed discussion about the great threat and danger of environmental pollution creates a need to acknowledge and discuss the modern environmental movement and its present push in America and other Western Christian nations. 

 

 

Environmentalism and American Politics 

 

One of the primary environmental organizations in America is the New York City based (at the Cathedral of St. John) “Temple of Understanding,” organized several years ago by Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Pope John XXIII, the XIV Dalia Lama, and others.  The Mar-Apr 1997 “Prophecy Flash” (p. 47) called its faith “a major international humanistic, new age, pacifistic, earth mothereristic, socialistic religion.”  

 

This Temple of Understanding is important to America because US Vice President Al Gore had hooked in with them around 1988 when he was running for president.  They had money and press power and he needed both in 1988 in order to try to win.  By then, the environmental movement was coming to be a power in American politics. 

 

So Gore abandoned his former political philosophies (he used to call himself a tobacco farmer when asking for votes in Tennessee, but later changed this definition) and became a confirmed environmentalist (and of their mother earth religion “Gaia”). 

 

And while he continues to call himself a Christian and attends Christian sun worship services (for obvious political reasons), the fact remains that Gore clearly demonstrates the Gaia religion in his policies and objectives. 

 

 

The Dilemma 

 

The plight over the environment is much like the plight of the poor.  There are some legitimate points of concern in both cases. 

 

Tragically, from the viewpoint of the people of concern, they never spend any time or effort to go to the Scriptures to study the problem and solution.  They cook up their own theories about right and wrong (and even become pagan worshippers, as in the case of Gaia worship) which never work and solve nothing. 

 

Thus, there is a presence of some liberal thinkers who are legitimately cognizant of environmental pollution and what is happening to planet earth.  But they, on their own, constitute a minority few with no appreciable influence, money or power to do much of anything about the environment or anything else for that matter.  So, why the big fuss? 

 

 

The Problem 

 

The problem is that the United States (plus the other White, Anglo-Saxon-Celtic nations as well) is broke from the vast squandering of its wealth since the ideas of FDR gained acceptance.  The welfare state has created a network of lazy people who just about won’t work for anything.  Why work when one can get so much from the state without working? 

 

Concurrently with the squandering of its wealth for welfare and other schemes by politicians (to continuously get re-elected), the big boys putting up the money for most of this insanity have become concerned about their investments (as largely held in US government bonds and securities). 

 

This concern has translated into a need to protect their investments--which is what the environmental movement is all about.  Someday, when the super rich calling the shots cash in their chips, they will be looking for viable assets to pay off those chips.  The purpose of the environmental movement (from their viewpoint) is to provide those assets in the form of timber and other natural resources.

 

This whole motion will be fully discussed and described in subsequent chapters (which describe the workings of the super rich).  There is no intent to even begin to cover it here.  But it must be pointed out because it is the primary reason that the environmental movement now enjoys such great successes in American and Western politics. 

 

 

Balance of Payments Deficit 

 

Manifestly, the US has become a consumer state, consuming vast quantities of foreign goods and services--such as oil from the Arabs, crack cocaine from South America, cars from Japan, trinkets and toys from China, precision instruments from Europe, TV sets from Malaysia, goods from Mexico, etc. 

 

To buy this huge quantity of foreign goods, Americans have flooded the world with dollar bills (to be addressed in subsequent comments herein). 

 

As will be fully described later, the US has been a large debtor nation for some years now.  So far, foreigners and international bankers have accepted these dollars willingly.  Many people in the world are still mesmerized over the former power and greatness of America before she began spending herself into bankruptcy.  Consequently, there is not a lot of US inflation presently (in early 2003). 

 

But one day, these internationalists and foreigners will wake up and realize that they are accepting worthless paper which won’t buy anything because America has become a state of lazy, welfare recipients who largely will not work and produce essentially nothing of value for export--beyond some wheat, Boeing airplanes and much military hardware (giving rise to American arms dealers). 

 

The internationalists and foreigners take these dollars and buy US government bonds; which, in turn, finance the Socialist welfare give away programs from Washington.  Thus, internationalists and foreigners are partially financing the American welfare program of so called entitlements.  In other words, foreigners are financing the American political status quo which helps keep the big spending liberals in power. 

 

 

The UN Gets Involved 

 

Seeing the handwriting on the wall for the big spending US, the fat cat internationalists actually began laying the groundwork for the takeover of America’s public lands some years ago.  The Coeur d’Alene, Idaho “Daily Bee” newspaper of Aug 11, 1996, had an article on “U.N. Goes West,” which assessed the efforts of internationalists to turn control of US lands over to the United Nations for the last 25 years. 

 

Per the article, the push for international control of US lands started in “The World Heritage Convention of 1972” which was ratified by the US Senate and became law with President Gerald Ford’s proclamation of it on Dec 17, 1975.  This treaty supposedly established “an effective system of collective protection for cultural and natural sites of outstanding universal significance.” 

 

By using this treaty, the former Clinton Administration brought in an arm of the UN to “help protect” the Yellowstone National Park that had been designated as one of those areas being in “danger.”  When a US site is listed as being in danger, it allows the World Heritage Committee to work in cooperation with US officials “to develop corrective measures.” 

 

Apparently, the former Clinton Administration also used this same treaty to likewise “help protect” the Glacier National Park.  So far (as of August 2001), some 68% of all US national parks, monuments and wildlife preserves have been designated World Heritage Sites (Aug 2001 “American Sentinel,” p. 8).  With this dedication, these sites can now come under United Nations scrutiny for monitoring and protection. 

 

Congressman Don Young (Republican of Alaska), chairman of the House Committee on Resources, says that this is “a plot for centralization; and in fact, global-type control.  There are people, who say as population increases, the only way to keep anarchy from occurring is through centralized control by government.  In this case, the plan is world government.” 

 

The “Daily Bee” reported that several key members of the US Congress and at least two state legislatures have opposed this motion and called it “an effort to gain control of this country’s natural resources.”  Don Young added that if the UN is allowed to gain control over US natural resources, then it can control the nation’s economy and therefore, its people. 

 

 

More Legislation 

 

Another recent UN treaty, along the same line, was the UN’s “Global Convention on Biological Diversity” to protect biosphere reserves with inter-connected corridors which protect the biological diversity in key sites around the world. 

 

This one was turned down by the US Senate on Sep 30, 1994.  But the Clinton Administration evidently adopted it by executive action and complied with it.  No one was willing to challenge Slick on it.  So it became law for all purposes. 

 

The Phyllis Schlafley Report, in the Sep 5-18, 1997, “Trade N’ Save” paper (p. 8), suggests that the UN has a current plan underway for a “Wildlands Project” which will eventually designate one half of the United States as “protected areas or areas where special measures need to be taken to conserve biological diversity.” 

 

Moreover, in 1996, the US Congress introduced and has been considering the “Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act” which names a huge chunk of the Rockies (much of Idaho) as a natural area of “international significance.” 

 

So far, this latest bill hasn’t passed (and may not for the present because of the Congressional power of Republican conservatives, who are opposed to it).  But the liberals are pushing it hard.  And of course, it has the support and push of the fat cat international money interests.  This fact alone means a lot in terms of legislation coming out of the US Congress. 

 

 

Already in Place 

 

The Mar-Apr 1997 “Prophecy Flash” (p. 50) had an article by William F. Dankenbring on “UN Authority Imperils Freedom” which said that “more than two-thirds of our national parks, monuments and preserves have been set aside as UN Biosphere Reserves or World Heritage Sites...some 51 million acres are involved.” 

 

Dankenbring went on to say that “millions more acres are being declared ‘buffer zones.’  These are vast areas (private holdings) surrounding reserve or heritage sites where human activity is strictly controlled, ostensibly to protect inner ‘core zones’” (quoting from the Jan 13, 1997, “Spotlight,” p. 50). 

 

The gist of all this is that America has agreed to and is agreeing to certain United Nation’s control over the US public lands. 

 

Signs are regularly going up on US public lands which declare them to be “An International Biosphere Reserve.”  Already, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park of the Southern Appalachian chain has such a sign prominently displayed at its entrance (“Prophecy Flash,” Nov-Dec 1997, p. 18). 

 

On June 9, 1997, a news announcement said that the US military, in its Southern Command, is being trained for UN employment in some 32 Latin American nations (particularly, in the Amazon area) to “protect” the rain forests and endangered species. 

 

Precedents are being established which will open the door for UN military forces to some day come into the US to “protect” its lands and natural resources from exploitation by the greed of American citizens. 

 

 

Animal Rights 

 

One of the important reasons given for a lot of the play on these land “protection” measures ostensibly involves threatened species and particularly as this theme is pushed by the animal rights people who work hand in glove with the environmentalists to limit “unauthorized” greed and exploitation of lands reserved for the big boys. 

 

This modern obsession about animal rights (and the fanaticism of some people over the killing of animals) probably has its origin in religious asceticism (discussed in a former chapter), as it surfaces primarily in sun worshipping Hinduism with its crazy attitude about sacred cows and animals. 

 

Some of the Eastern religions have animals on a worship platform which raises violent opposition to the killing of animals.  This clearly goes back to Cain and his strange beliefs and apparent refusal to kill animals.  He tried to offer garden vegetables and fruits to YHWH, instead of the required blood.  He was surely the first animal rights advocate. 

 

In the WWII years, the kook Adolf Schicklgruber (alias Adolf Hitler) was a known vegetarian.  Therefore, it would seem that he probably disapproved of the killing of animals--but certainly not so-called human beings since he slaughtered many of them without any hesitation. 

 

In numbers, the animal rights people do not seem to be very big in the American population, but they are vocal and fanatical about their beliefs--perhaps much like Kain.  Assuredly, this whole motion is just one more aspect of the overall environmental movement which must not be overlooked in today’s developing world. 

 

 

The BLM Police State 

 

Beyond the earlier discussed 1972 UN treaty to control the US public lands, another development has been silently taking place on the American scene with hardly a whisper from out of anyone.  This motion was set out in an informative report on “Sweeping New Police-State Authority Proposed For BLM,” as it appeared in the Jan-Feb 1997 “Jubilee” paper (p. 1, 11). 

 

In 1976, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) became law. 

 

It provided for the criminal enforcement of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regulations as promulgated by the US Department of the Interior (by executive action in the Federal Register, without benefit of congressional legislation) for the purpose of the “management, use and protection of the public lands and the property located thereon.” 

 

Additionally, the US Code (43 U.S.C. 1733, FLPMA) provides for criminal penalties in the amount of $1,000 and confinement up to twelve months or both for violations of the FLPMA act. 

 

But according to the “Jubilee,” other acts would allow a fine of up to $100,000 and new regs (as planned by Clinton) allow a fine of $500,000, in addition to a jail term up to five years (FR p. 57605). 

 

The new rules being pushed indicate that BLM law enforcement authority is expanded beyond activities occurring on BLM land to private property, such as “Activities on or having a clear potential to affect water bodies on or adjacent (next door or even upstream) to BLM lands.” 

 

 

New Federal Police Powers 

 

Under the planned new authority, BLM police officers will be able to stop private vehicles, “search any person, place or vehicle without warrant or process, seize without a warrant or process any piece of evidence and make arrests without warrant or process” for misdemeanors or felonies which the officer has “reasonable grounds” to believe exists. 

 

Beyond all of the common “offenses,” which private citizen criminals might be engaged in to allow their arrest (like driving without a fastened seat belt or any other alleged problem with the car or the driver), the new regulations will provide for an arrest if driving the car is likely “to cause damage to or disturbance of the soil, water, wildlife, wildlife habitat, improvements, cultural, paleontological or vegetative resources.” 

 

Naturally, all kinds of other offenses are covered, as well, like not being able to fire a gun without BLM authorization, not being allowed to have a campfire without a BLM campfire permit, not being allowed to deface or destroy natural features or resources including plants, rocks, soil, or minerals, and even disallow the picking of flowers on BLM lands. 

 

The point of these various laws, rules and regulations is quite manifest.  As noted earlier, the plutocrats in control of the United States are going all out and pulling all the strings possible to keep the ignorant, uninformed, gullible, American citizens from using the trees, timber, plants, rocks, minerals, soil, etc on the public lands (and as much of the private lands as is possible). 

 

These lands are being preserved for exploitation by the super rich when they foreclose on the outstanding mortgages. 

 

Thus, these lands are being protected by the US police state to benefit the fat cats who hold the mortgages. 

 

There is just no way that the plutocrats on Wall Street, on Fleet Street in London, in Switzerland, Japan, Israel or wherever (who behind the scenes are really in control of the US government and American politicians) are going to sit back and not take action to protect their interests. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 279--The Environmental Movement II

 

 

Clinton’s 1996 National Monument 

 

Knowing full well where his bread was buttered, the former US President Bill Clinton took action in September 1996, while on a visit at Arizona’s Grand Canyon, to issue a presidential order creating a one and one half million acre reserve of Utah land as the new “Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument,” ostensibly to “protect the heritage of our children.” 

 

Many persons familiar with the new reserve have went on record that on the surface, it is covered only with desert sage brush.  But in its underground areas, it contains one of the world’s foremost blocks of “EPA Super Compliance Coal,” worth at least a trillion dollars or so on today’s global market. 

 

Several weeks were to pass before the full story of Slick’s actions in the early fall of 1996 became apparent.  As the 1996 presidential campaign concluded, information began surfacing in the media about the work of one Chinese named John Huang and a number of other Asians closely linked to the president and their enormously large financial contributions to the Democrats and Clinton’s re-election campaign. 

 

 

The Lippo Banking Group, Revisited 

 

It seems that this Huang was closely linked to an Indonesian banking dynasty called the “Lippo Banking Group;” which, in turn, was effectively controlled by a company called “China Resources, Inc” (both mentioned earlier).  China Resources was alleged to be a front organization for Communist China’s intelligence service. 

 

The Lippo Banking Group was a primary controller of a huge energy consortium, operating in China and the Pacific Rim.  This consortium managed vast blocks of the same type of super compliance coal as found in Utah and would obviously benefit with the removal of the potentially competitive Utah coal. 

 

Writing in the Jan-Feb 1997 “Intelligence Newsletter” (p. 8), Earl F. Jones concluded that “the long term plans are to tie up the Utah coal reserves to prevent an American Company from operating the mine and selling the coal to American power plants.” 

 

With the Utah coal removed from the American market, American energy users will obviously have to turn to Chinese and Indonesian sources of supply for their present needs.  Initially, and for the immediate future, the Lippo Banking Group and its powerful backers have stood to make some vast profits from the sale of coal to United States users. 

 

Incidentally, Lippo/China Resources are owned by Indonesian business man James Riady (to be more fully discussed in later comments) and his family. 

 

In a August 1992 limousine ride with presidential candidate Bill Clinton, Riady promised to give $1 million to Slick in the form of illegal campaign contributions--according to records obtained from the FBI in early Nov 1999 (per Jerry Seper, in his article on “Clinton didn’t ask for source of funds” in the Nov 8-14, 1999, “Washington Times,” p. 8, and in Riady’s later plea agreement, as discussed elsewhere herein). 

 

Otherwise, there is still one more feature of this decision by President Slick to set the Utah land (and coal) aside for “the heritage of our children.”  This one is more subtle, but nevertheless very apparent.  These lands are held by the super rich internationalists under a first mortgage of the federal lands--supporting certain US securities in their possessions (as will be described in a later chapter). 

 

Again, there is no way that these international fat cats are going to sit back and allow American speculators and business interests to go into Utah and began mining and exploiting that land for their personal profit and gain.  That coal and all the other minerals of value there are to be reserved for the big boys (when they move in one day to take possession of their properties). 

 

 

Clinton’s October 1999 Move 

 

On October 13, 1999, President Clinton announced another sweeping US plan to lock up 40 million acres (the size of Virginia and West Virginia combined) more of federally owned forest land as roadless areas protected from development. 

 

An article by Audrey Hudson on “Clinton wants to lock up forests” in the October 18-24, 1999, “Washington Times” (p. 10) said that Clinton had ordered the US Forest Service to prepare regulations which would bar development of roads in federal land in 40 states; thus preventing public access to the land for recreation, fighting forest fires and timber activity.  This plan was to be an end run around opposition in Congress. 

 

Hudson added that Clinton had instructed the US Forest Service to also look at another 15 million acres which might also be added to the protected list.  Clinton said that he wanted the 21st century to be a new century for America’s forests. 

 

 

Clinton’s December 1999 Efforts 

 

In a move to help the prospects of the sagging Al Gore or enhance his legacy as another Teddy Roosevelt, Clinton on December 14, 1999, indicated that he would create three new “national monuments” in Arizona and California.  “The Washington Times” (p. 3) of Dec 20-26, 1999, had a report by Audrey Hudson on “Clinton considers Congress end run on monuments” which described his plans.  

 

Hudson said that Clinton and his Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt were focusing upon more than one million acres in two tracts in Arizona and some small islands and rock outcroppings along the California coast as new national monuments.  Clinton also had plans to add some 8,000 new acres to the present Pinnacles National Monument in California. 

 

 

Clinton’s 2001 Moves 

 

As one of Slick Clinton’s final acts of using presidential powers in January 2001, he took action to create some more national monuments and wilderness areas, involving over one million acres of land in the US West.  While George W. Bush said that he would freeze these Clinton moves, some observers said that he could not stop the Clinton land grabs. 

 

Obviously, this motion by Slick Clinton (just before he left office) was only one more in the series of maneuvers he undertook on behalf of the super rich plutocrats to protect the US lands, so that the plutocrats can later take possession of them in order to exploit the minerals and natural resources there. 

 

With this motive, it is doubtful that George W. Bush really wants to stop the Clinton acts.  After all, the Bush family is much like Bill Clinton in terms of providing support to the plutocrats.  George H. W. and young George W. both have known where their bread is buttered. 

 

 

EO 13122 

 

On January 1, 1997, the US Border XXI program became effective which designated the 2000 miles Southwest border with Mexico a “Border Region.”  An area 62.5 miles North of the entire border was included in this new federally designated area. 

 

Ostensibly, the purpose of this act was to protect the environment in some manner by establishing “binational law enforcement teams” for some unclear purposes.  To assess the latest developments in this scheme, “Spotlight” of Jul 26, 1999, had two articles to address it. 

 

Regardless, not much was done in the way of implementation of the scheme until July 1999 when President Clinton signed a new executive order (#13122) which supposedly would implement the Border XXI program, per Spotlight’s first article (on p. 1) on “NWO Wants to Say ‘Adios Border.’”  However, beyond implementation, EO 13122 was far reaching in changing the program and encompassing a new focus. 

 

Clinton’s EO, first of all, extended the territorial zone to cover 150 miles of US territory North of the border. 

 

Next, his act established a federal task force to take charge of the program and accomplish several actions--to include monitoring the plan, recommending changes, coordinating with various other concerned parties and maintaining federal involvement in the “economic development and other needs” of this vast territory in CA, AZ, NM and TX. 

 

This first “Spotlight” article asked the question--what was going on and what did Clinton have in mind for the US border with Mexico? 

 

The second article, “Clinton Doubles Size of Border Region XXI” by Van Velsor (ibid, p. 12), effectively tried to answer the question or questions raised in the first article. 

 

Van Velsor suggests that the purpose of this program, to particularly include Clinton’s EO, is to erase or dissolve the US-Mexican border and create an “international territory overseen by nine non-government organizations” --again, ostensibly to control the environment (in other words, something big is planned there and Slick Clinton and his colleagues were using the excuse of the environment to accomplish those plans). 

 

This second article suggests that when the original act became law, without any opposition from local governments and people, Clinton saw his chance to more than double the territory and extend the program to new purposes.  Since no one objected in 1997, it seemed evident that no objections would be raised later (perhaps because of the apathy and gross ignorance of the public). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 280--Safety for the Super Rich?

 

 

The Bomb Threat and the Super Rich 

 

Ever since the detonation of the first hydrogen bombs in the Pacific tests of the 1950s and the development of the cold war, with the threat of nuclear annihilation, informed people began to express concern over the future of not only their own individual lives, but indeed the lives of all persons on planet earth. 

 

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, this concern quickly translated into a bomb shelter craze among many Americans.  Of course, the super rich internationalists got on the band wagon to try to take care of themselves as well. 

 

Some like the Rockefellers quickly bought large homes and estates in South America or Australia, believing that a nuclear war in the Northern hemisphere would not immediately spell out a catastrophe in the Southern hemisphere (because of wind patterns which provide for some separation of air in the two hemispheres). 

 

Realizing that a short fuse on war may not allow them an opportunity to “get out” before the bombs were to go off, the plutocrats pushed through “secret” measures to construct and build huge underground cities, complete with food, water and air conditioning systems, using US taxpayer funds, of course. 

 

Quickly (but silently and secretly), vast underground complexes were built in the Appalachian mountains of Western Virginia and Maryland, along with an enormous complex in the Nellis Air Force range of Nevada (called area 51, near the Pyramid Lake region) and other areas in the Western United States.  This construction will be elaborated upon shortly in this chapter. 

 

Obviously, if the balloon of war went up, the elites of government and the ruling internationalists could all find shelter and a measure of a hoped for survival in these subterranean facilities.  It was apparent from the beginning that a nuclear war could and would kill a significant part of the American people, but the big boys would be taken care of. 

 

This same situation has surfaced in a number of countries around the world--to include even Russia.  These various nations have taken steps to build underground cities to protect their elites.  An exception might be Switzerland where some of her underground cities ostensibly will be used for the general population. 

 

 

Too, A Looming Environmental Disaster 

 

Beyond the very real threat of nuclear annihilation, scientists and other informed people began comprehending that there are real “limits to growth” in the world because “entropy” does set in to desecrate and eventually destroy anything and everything (under man’s government). 

 

Many thinking people began coming together in groups like the before mentioned Club of Rome (to be described in some detail in later chapters) to address this concern. 

 

A previous chapter in this work also briefly mentioned the Scriptural reasons that man has been destroying planet earth in the age end.  Appropriate texts were cited from the Word which are quite clear in making this assessment.  Manifestly, it is happening. 

 

Man has polluted and defiled the atmosphere, the rivers and streams, the underground water table, the land areas and even the great oceans and seas all over the globe. 

 

When the oceans go, we all had better watch out because this planet will quickly “entropy” and die.  As elaborated upon in a former chapter, the day of the death of the oceans could well be at hand. 

 

People with any brains at all are capable of understanding the threat of environmental pollution to destroy all (yes all and not just a small part) of life here on earth.  Hence, this prevailing situation has propelled various schemes to reduce world population, as will be discussed in a later chapter. 

 

 

The Twenty Ninth Day 

 

In a 1978 book, on “The Twenty Ninth Day” (p. 1), Lester R. Brown addressed the earth resources, population growth and environmental pollution dilemma.  Brown told the story of a French riddle which is used to teach children in school the reality and impact of exponential growth upon a given population. 

 

As Brown wrote, a lily pond contains a single leaf.  Each day the number of leaves double (two leaves the second day, four the next day, eight the next and so forth).  If the lily pond is full on the thirtieth day, at what point is the pond half full?  The answer is the twenty ninth day. 

 

The explosive nature and potential problems of exponential growth are quite manifest.  If one should apply this reasoning to environmental pollution, as Brown did in his book, it is very clear that planet earth could reach a point where this globe could not take any more pollution without facing an environmental disaster and death. 

 

This possibility is particularly relevant in terms of the great oceans, which are the final cesspools and sewage disposal sources for man’s waste and pollution across the world. 

 

The point being is that when one arrives at the twenty ninth day, in terms of nature and the environment, what will happen to life on this globe when the thirtieth day rolls around?  There is a place where the earth cannot take any more. 

 

Tragically, there is little or nothing that collective man will do to reverse the trend.  Greed and selfishness not only motivate and control the fat cats, but they affect all humans of all kinds and classes.  Who wants to be first in line to quit using indoor plumbing or gasoline combustion engines? 

 

 

The Space Program 

 

Thus, this belief of coming trouble is predicated upon the reality that man is truly destroying planet earth.  A pending ecological disaster seems to be in the backstage, just waiting for its cue (as allowed in former chapters). 

 

The question facing the plutocrats, who have vast funds, assets, wealth and control over human governments, is what can they do to insure their personal futures beyond killing people off and limiting population growth.  And this issue partly gives rise to the US space program. 

 

This situation then brings to mind a theory that has been floating around for much of the last forty years or so in connection with the United States’ space efforts and the willingness of American politicians to push ahead with vast expenditures of money on it, instead of using these funds to insure their own re-elections by directing the money to give away programs to the American public, as pushed by the Socialists and humanists. 

 

 

Alternative 003 

 

This theory, under discussion, was first exposed to the gullible masses in 1977 when the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) prepared and presented a chilling television documentary film entitled “Alternative 003.”  It was followed in 1979 with a book by Leslie Watkins, using the same title. 

 

With the power that the super rich fat cats exert over the world’s media, it was a fluke of some sort that BBC would dare produce and air such a film.  Perhaps it was a mistake by some of their executives to allow such an exposure.  But for whatever reason, it was produced and shown in Britain, although there was a later cover story that it was all an April fools’ hoax. 

 

While some aspects of the report seemed to be a little ridiculous (thus, supporting the hoax account), much of it did make sense because it has proven to be extremely descriptive and even prophetic in terms of what all has happened in world affairs since 1957 and particularly so since 1977. 

 

Some people of power must have understood the dangerous consequences of such information because the theme was never given any publicity or particular attention outside Britain--maybe because it was discredited somewhat with the April fools’ charge.  Thus, it was immediately given the cold shoulder and few people ever really learned of the scheme. 

 

Of course, the world’s media is controlled by the super rich beneficiaries of such a reported plan.  So they were not about to let much be said about it in any way which might upset the apple cart and get the ignorant, gullible public excited about such things.  If the stupid taxpayers were to get worked up, they conceivably might could do all sorts of things which could be very damaging. 

 

But this initial British airing did happen in 1977 to the benefit of persons who had pulled their heads out of the sand long enough to understand what all was going on.  Once exposed, Watkins picked up on it and put his book out which did get some limited distribution in America. 

 

 

Dr Carl Gerstein 

 

The basis of the film and Watkins’ book was the reported work of one Dr Carl Gerstein from Cambridge, England.  In a 1957 conference on space at Huntsville, Alabama, Gerstein proposed three alternatives to deal with the looming ecological crisis facing planet earth. 

 

The options were: (1) blast “chimneys” in the stratosphere with nuclear weapons to release the pent up pollution, (2) relocate earth’s populations to underground caverns, and/or (3) a bold venture into space using revolutionary technology and a secret international conspiracy (as is now occurring). 

 

Option three was the most feasible and gained acceptance, although option one has had some possible attention since modern scientists have been busy in recent years bombarding the heavens with electro-magnetic energy ostensibly for some good scientific reason.  Option two has also had some play, as will be assessed shortly below. 

 

For plan three, the supposed space goal was Mars and the need for a transfer station to be located on the reverse side of the moon at the Archimedes Base, near the moon’s Sea of Shadows.  Certainly, the development and use of orbiting space platforms have also proved to be practical from the standpoint of transfer stations. 

 

This bold new thinking was along the line that when the earth began to reach the point of environmental collapse, various scientists and “elite” persons (obviously, to include the super rich calling the shots) would be transported by space craft to Mars to populate it and sustain human life.  According to BBC and Watkins, the plan was put into effect immediately with the intensified US space program. 

 

In a July 2, 1977, interview with the “Los Angeles Times,” Dr Gerald O’Neill of Princeton University, and formerly a professor of Aerospace at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, had some perceptive comments on this alternative three which he called “Island 3.”  O’Neill said that “There’s really no debate about the technology involved in doing it.  That’s been confirmed by NASA’s top people.” 

 

It is significant to observe that both the United States and Soviet Union space programs were intensified and expanded in earnest after the 1957 Huntsville, Alabama meeting, reportedly attended by Gerstein and the other scientists.  Call it coincidence or whatever, but the linkage is most interesting. 

 

 

The Mars Problems 

 

As a follow up on space activities since 1957, it is useful to recognize that for some strange reason, most planned or scheduled probes to Mars either haven’t taken place or were scrapped or interfered with for some reason.  As noted earlier, Mars explorations have been in some sort of jinx over the years (figuratively speaking).  They have been largely unsuccessful. 

 

Much secrecy seems to have surrounded space activities in relation to Mars.  So it’s often a little hard for interested persons to find out what all is going on up there, although the July 1997 Pathfinder Mars probe all of a sudden received some publicity--perhaps because of the new focus to try to suggest a former humanoid population on Mars, as will be discussed in a later chapter. 

 

In any case, some of the US leadership has been busy hyping up the public since 1997 with stories of possible life on Mars after the find of a meteor in Antarctica (as described in a previous chapter).  This event generated sufficient interest to prompt NASA to begin a series of new MARS space projects in 1999--to be also broached in later commentary. 

 

The failure cycle returned in September 1999 when the first 1999 project failed grossly.  This satellite (the Mars Climate Orbiter project, costing $125 million) was designed to orbit Mars.  But it disappeared, crashed or was destroyed in some way before it could perform its job (Oct 4, 1999, “US News & World Report,” p. 14).  Later, NASA claimed that the failure involved a computer programming error. 

 

On December 3, 1999, another Mars effort (the Mars Polar Lander Project, costing $165 million), likewise failed when something went wrong.  The public was hyped up for days and days on how this Lander was going to scoop up and analyze the soil on Mars. 

 

Then, on December 3rd, it was a complete fizzle when the satellite and its Lander reached Mars.  And again, this next satellite vanished, crashed or disappeared for whatever reason. 

 

So while some of the nation’s leaders were talking about the need to explore Mars and find out if life could have come from there, the exploration projects themselves continued to fail.  For some strange reason it was proving to be difficult, if not impossible, to find out anything firm about Mars. 

 

 

Some Background on NASA 

 

On Dec 8, 1999, astronomer Richard Hoagland was on the Art Bell Coast to Coast AM radio talk show.  Hoagland has been a consultant to NASA and has attained some prominence by publicly disagreeing with them on the national media circuit. 

 

Hoagland’s view is that the US space program was established after WWII by former Nazi SS people who had been trained or motivated by Schicklgruber’s obsession with the occult (to include UFOs).  These Nazis came to the US in a program called “Operation Paperclip,” to be further described in later commentary. 

 

Evidently, per Hoagland, these German Nazis actually believed that their ancestors came from Mars and that they should hopefully return to repopulate Mars when earth ostensibly becomes uninhabitable from an environmental collapse or from some other problem.  Allegedly, SS leader Heinrich Himmler and many of his people held these views.  

 

Hoagland seems to speculate that these people directed and impressed into being a secret clique or subversive element within NASA to sabotage and undermine all Mars explorations.  As Richard sees it, these persons still have plans to return to Mars with the development of suitable technology (which they may be developing in the form of some of the reported UFOs). 

 

 

What? 

 

In any case, Hoagland believes that NASA does have a subversive element which is deliberately sabotaging space probes to Mars because they don’t want information on Mars out to the public.  They want facts and information on Mars to be hid and kept secret.  Since Richard Hoagland’s theories parallel the essence of Alternative 3, one would have to pause and wonder if Hoagland is informed on this subject. 

 

Perhaps he does know something more than what he has been willing to say so far, although it is quite manifest that the Nazis who came to America in 1945, as a part of Operation Paperclip, are now all dead or perhaps too old and feeble to impact upon anything of significance. 

 

Regardless, Hoagland’s theories have some merit on at least offering an explanation for the possible source of Alternative 3.  Maybe, it started as a Nazi plan back in WWII.  As has been and will be established herein, the United States government presently is or is very close to being a Nazi government.  As will be assessed later, Clinton was fascinated with Schicklgruber and could be emulating him. 

 

The last important aspect of Hoagland’s theories is the possibility that there are some divisions within NASA itself in respect to Mars.  Clearly, some people want information out, while others want it sealed in secrecy.  Certainly, the Nazi people, who built NASA after WWII, are now all gone, but their ideas may have motivated and influenced some of their successors. 

 

 

Dr Rod Lewis 

 

In comments and discussions a few paragraphs back on the underground cities or complexes built in the Appalachian Mountains and Western United States, primarily as a result of the nuclear bomb scare of the cold war, several points need clarification to bring those remarks up to date and tie them together with the space program. 

 

It should be noted that most (or perhaps all) of this mentioned subterranean construction happened after Dr Carl Gerstein made his remarkable speech at Huntsville in 1957, outlining the three options. 

 

As just described, Gerstein outlined an option two of using underground areas to provide protection to some persons.  It’s plausible that this underground building effort was at least partly prompted by Gerstein’s reported talk at Huntsville.

 

But there is still more to this whole situation. 

 

For this, one can turn to the work of Dr Rod Lewis, mentioned earlier, who has been a speaker on the Prophecy Club circuit (along with others) to fundamentalist Christians across America.  Lewis has written several books and has a lecture video out (“Shackles of the New World Order”) which explains his years of investigative research on this subject. 

 

Like many of the other Prophecy Club speakers, Lewis is a most fascinating man with plenty of credentials to give him some status to be making the charges which he has been offering. 

 

For instance, he is a scientist and a member of the Federation of American Scientists and the National Association of Science Writers.  Most of his information came from US documents he obtained in the Freedom of Information Act and other credible sources, which also elevate his conclusions. 

 

He claims that back in the 1930s, the big boys calling the shots on US security looked on WWI as a phase one of a larger World War which would be furthered in a phase two operation, which did come on the scene in 1939-1945, in the context of WWII (even now, some persons look for a phase three world war in the future). 

 

Lewis claims that there are reasons to believe that even back in the 1930s, some people had concern over what the coming war would entail for the public--with the then war making potential, coupled with what all was on the horizon in terms of deadly war making capabilities (yes, even the A bomb),

 

 

Concern Over War 

 

Dr Rod Lewis goes on to suggest that the first underground construction or at least its planning for Western Virginia started possibly by 1935.  Simply stated, government big shots and other elites were anticipating a very destructive war with horrible consequences for the civilian population. 

 

The rulers wanted not only personal protection for themselves, but also “alleged” protection for national documents and archival records (like the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, etc) which were at risk in a war on the civilian population.  Consequently, it might be that Lewis has it right that the US government did begin planning and/or constructing her first underground cities at that time. 

 

As Lewis suggests, the atom bomb and the cold war events only speeded up this undertaking. 

 

But in going on, this scientist had some more revealing findings.  He said that important thinkers and scientists in the government began to realize that historically catastrophes have happened to planet earth over the ages in a predictable fashion. 

 

Therefore, they began to build computer models on what the future could hold.  In 1988-89, these planners and their controllers concluded a computer study which suggested that planet earth faces a physical catastrophe of some sort (perhaps being hit with an asteroid or something else of a profound nature) in the period 1998-2006. 

 

This belief has acted to promote a continuation of the building programs, particularly in the Western United States--all now being funded and supervised by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). 

 

Beyond the potential for a place of safety in case of a catastrophe, there is another fallout involving these huge numbers of underground bases and facilities across the US.  Lewis reports that many of the US “black” projects and secret research efforts are done at some of these underground sites, along with work at various national laboratories. 

 

Certainly, the Stealth airplanes and even more recent and far more sophisticated aircraft have been produced at some of these facilities (Area 51 in Nevada, in particular, as was pointed out in previous comments).  Genetic research and other scientific efforts have also been carried on at some of these secret locations as well. 

 

 

The Bottom Line 

 

Regardless of what all has happened or is happening on this scheme, it is quite manifest that the super rich internationalists have been busy preparing an escape plan for themselves on earth or in space if planet earth reaches the place where life cannot be sustained here (because of global pollution or some other crisis).  This course will be further assessed in later comments. 

 

Alternatively, for the students of the Word, The ELOHIM has a different plan than what the big shots have in mind for themselves.  Truly, all of us need to pray daily for the return of YESHUA and the installation of His world government (His kingdom to come).  Proud, greedy, irresponsible men need to be stopped! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 281--An Environmental Collapse?

 

 

The Return of YESHUA 

 

Several factors seem to be in the making for the return of YESHUA (which will be addressed and commented upon in later chapters and in Appendices D and E). 

 

These issues include a coming great tribulation on man and the efforts of the eventual Beast power to move into the Middle East against The ELOHIM’s very elect, which will be physically located in a place of safety at Petra (as was discussed in a preceding chapter herein). 

 

There is no need to really broach these themes at this time in the present discussion of pollution and environmentalism.  However, there is one extremely important factor on-going in the environment to also play a profoundly important role in precipitating YESHUA’s return at the precise moment in time when He does return to impose His government over planet earth. 

 

This one does critically involve the questions of pollution and the environment and a looming environmental collapse. 

 

Here’s a quote from the Internet (from www.JahTruth.co.uk) which is pregnant with far reaching implications:  “When all of the trees are cut down; When all of the rivers and lakes are polluted; When all the fish have been caught from the sea; Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.” 

 

 

The Environment and Sin 

 

In a sense, it is the situation with the great tribulation, the threatening danger to the very elect at Petra and the total apocalyptic environment facing the creation which precipitates YESHUA’s return. 

 

Mattityahu, Mark and Luke all have some comments on the catastrophic conditions on planet earth at the time of The MESSIAH’s return.  YESHUA remarked that if He did not come back and stop man’s misrule of this globe, then the election (as well as the rest of so-called humanity) would all be in jeopardy of losing their lives (Matt 24:22). 

 

The essence of this is that world conditions are building up to reach a crisis point which will demand that YESHUA return at that precise moment in time in order to at least save the very elect alive.  Otherwise, all life on this planet will be destroyed (because of man’s mis-management of things). 

 

Most persons are aware that the potential for the fulfillment of YESHUA’s Words reached that plateau in about 1956 or so with the development of the hydrogen bomb.  But beyond this obvious fact, it is also patently clear that man is destroying this planet with his irresponsible pollution of the whole environment. 

 

If it is as bad as just asserted, then one should be able to find this subject covered in the Scriptures.  And that’s exactly what a student of the Book can find.  Actually, as was covered in preceding chapters of this publication, the reader has discovered that the Word does address environmental pollution in the context of sin (Rev 11:18, as discussed in a preceding chapter). 

 

 

The 21st Century Crisis

 

The evidence for a coming environmental collapse (literally fulfilling Rev 11:18, in that man is truly destroying the earth) has been known for some years now--in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.  As discussed in the previous chapter, this condition has been one of the motivating reasons for the US space program and the desire for man to go to Mars. 

 

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) computes a numeric “Living Planet Index” (LPI) which ostensibly shows the condition of earth based on the environmental trends in progress in terms of wildlife, and the “Ecological Footprint” (EF) index which shows the measure of the consumption of renewable natural resources by the human population. 

 

Per the WWF’s Living Planet Report 2002 (taken from the Internet, and dated July 9, 2002), the LPI is an average of three ecosystem-based indices of forest species, marine species and freshwater species. 

 

Over the thirty years from 1970 to 2000, this overall index fell 35%, indicating that the world is experiencing a rapid loss of biodiversity, involving a great mass extinction of species.  Previous chapters herein discussed the problem of the extinction of wildlife.  The trend is in motion and seems to be accelerating. 

 

This same report from the WWF said that the EF of the world’s average consumer in 1999 was 20% above the earth’s biological capacity.  In other words, man is consuming natural resources (food, oxygen, energy, etc) faster than nature can replenish them.  Along with the excess consumption, man is dumping excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to further complicate things. 

 

In 1961, the global ecological footprint was at the 70% level.  By 1999, it had grown to 120%.  Based on the present trends, this indicator is expected to grow to about 180% to 220% of the earth’s biological capacity by the year 2050.  The Living Planet Report noted that this excess consumption and excess pollution is not sustainable in the long term. 

 

Thus, something will have to give in the future.  The report suggested that earth simply cannot provide this overdraft without some severe ecological backlashes undermining future population and economic growth. 

 

Art Bell on the Coast to Coast AM program on Jul 9, 2002, assessed this report and quoted a London story about it.  There is a consensus among some observers that a great ecological collapse is waiting off stage.  There is a feeling that man must begin making plans to relocate the human civilization/life to another planet within the next 48 years (this planning is already underway in terms of the space program). 

 

Yes, all believers need to start praying for YHWH’s kingdom to come soon.  Otherwise, all human life will be destroyed by man because man simply lacks the means, intelligence and capability to govern himself.  Accordingly, YESHUA will come and come soon to end this mess created by man.  He will implement YHWH’s way, Torah (law) and system. 

 

 

The Return of YESHUA 

 

This backdrop lays the groundwork for the return of The MESSIAH which will be described and discussed at length in subsequent chapters and a coming Appendix E herein.
