<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
PROVERBS 16:18 NIV 18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.</div>

Pride is deadly. But instead of warning us the world encourages pride in every way.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
What is pride?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Pride is faith in yourself, instead of faith in God.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The root of pride is selfishness: putting yourself first. Thinking you are the most important. Thinking you know the most. Thinking you deserve better than someone else.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Pride will cause you to go your own way instead of God's way. Pride makes you think you do not need God's advice or help.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Pride is the root of all sin. It causes you to turn away from God instead of turning to Him. All disobedience has pride as its root. All rebellion has pride behind it. All mistreatment of other people is caused by pride: putting yourself and your feelings above the other person and their feelings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The world system promotes people who are proud, and often gives them great riches. Jesus said pride is evil and defiles a person. (Mark 7:21-23)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
While the world may promote the proud for a short time, their fame and success will not last.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
JAMES 4:6 NKJ 6 . . . "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."</div>

Pride is the most serious, and the most subtle, sin. It often goes unrecognized.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Beware!</div>

Read The Bible<br /><br />1 TIMOTHY 4:13 BBE<br />13 Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy<br />Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.<br /><br />HEBREWS 4:12 BBE<br />12 For the word of God is living and full of power. . .<br /><br />There is no substitute for the basics.<br /><br />The words of God recorded in the Bible are containers. They<br />contain ideas from God. They contain life. When those words<br />enter us through our eyes, ears, or our thinking, they impart<br />life and faith.<br /><br />Even if we don't understand everything, we are still receiving<br />a deposit of life from the Word.<br /><br />JOHN 6:63 NIV<br />63 . . . The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are<br />life.<br /><br />Many Christian believers are weak in their faith simply because<br />they do not take in much of the Word of God.<br /><br />If you spend hours each day listening to, watching, and<br />thinking about the news and views of the world, but you only<br />listen (half-heartedly) to a twenty minute sermon on Sunday --<br />you should not be surprised if your faith is weak and the<br />influence of the world is great in your life.<br /><br />The choice is yours. Yes, you are busy, but you can, and do,<br />make time for what you think is important.<br /><br />Fortunately, today there are many aids we can take advantage<br />of. You can read the Bible online, and be reminded each day by<br />an email. You can obtain recordings of Bible translations to<br />listen to while you drive or exercise or work.<br /><br />"But what should I read? The Bible is so big."<br /><br />All of the Bible is instructive and worthwhile. However, the<br />New Testament, and specifically the letters to the Church, is<br />written directly to us and is most applicable for us today.<br /><br />If you want to get acquainted with the Lord, read the four<br />Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I would recommend<br />starting with John. Mark is the shortest.<br /><br />If you want to understand redemption and what has happened to<br />you as a result of receiving Christ, and how to live in<br />victory, then you need to read the letters in the New<br />Testament, which are all the books except the Gospels I just<br />mentioned, and the book of Revelation.<br /><br />Always remember that the Bible is faith food. So if you want<br />your faith to be strong, you need to feed it on the Bible. It<br />does not matter if you feel any different, for faith is not<br />something that you feel. Faith is of the spirit, not of the<br />feeling realm.<br /><br />SAY THIS: I will read the Bible and it will help me.</div>

You Are Qualified<br /><br />COLOSSIANS 1:12 NIV<br />12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share<br />in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.<br /><br />You are qualified to receive any and every blessing from God,<br />not because of what you have done -- but based on what Jesus<br />did for you.<br /><br />You don't become qualified with God based on your performance,<br />but you were MADE qualified by God when you received Jesus.<br /><br />Being righteous -- or in right standing with God -- is all the<br />qualification you need. And righteousness is a free gift that<br />you receive when you receive Jesus Christ. In fact, Jesus is<br />your righteousness.<br /><br />1 CORINTHIANS 1:30 NIV<br />30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has<br />become for us wisdom from God -- that is, our righteousness,<br />holiness and redemption.<br /><br />2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 NIV<br />21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him<br />we might become the righteousness of God.<br /><br />Righteousness is not something you have earned or done, but a<br />gift given by God (Romans 5:17).<br /><br />Because of God's grace, you can partake of the inheritance of<br />the saints of God.

Right now -- because of<br />Jesus' blood -- you qualify for all of God's blessings.<br /><br />So don't believe the lie that you are not good enough. The<br />blood of Jesus is what makes you good enough. Nothing else ever<br />can!<br /><br />"But preacher, I just don't believe that. It doesn't seem<br />to work for me."<br /><br />Well, you are right that if you don't believe it, it won't<br />happen for you. All the blessings of God are only appropriated<br />by faith. That means you must believe what God says before you<br />will see the promised blessings happen in your life.<br /><br />ROMANS 5:2 NIV<br />2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace<br />in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory<br />of God.<br /><br />God has provided everything for us by His grace -- purely<br />undeserved by us -- as a free gift. However, we only have<br />access to it by faith.<br /><br />SAY THIS: I am qualified for all God's blessings.

form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His
obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross.

<br />
John says:<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%201:1-9;&version=9;"> "<strong>In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The true light that gives light to every man coming into the world</strong>." </a></span><span class="comments"><a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%201:1-9;&version=9;">John 1:1-9</a>.</span><span class="journal"> So <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%208:12;&version=9;"><strong>the Light of all men is Christ</strong></a>, the Light that many meditation-based religions seek. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="journal">
So, since he created us, it stands to reason that he is the
one to reconcile us back to himself and to the Father. But the Father is
logical. He doesn't just make a rule unless it is necessary. I can
accept the rule, but I always wondered why good people from other faiths
were not able to find union with God in this life. <strong>Somehow it just didn't seem fair </strong>
when some of the other faiths stressed peace, love, holiness, purity,
enlightenment, and less materialism than 'christians,' who used Jesus as
an excuse to live in sin without repentance to purity. My question was
answered with the following understandings: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote>
<span class="journal"> First, those who live in sin without the fruit of repentance to purity, calling themselves 'Christians,' do <strong>not</strong> find unity with God or true salvation. So, <strong>he doesn't discriminate on the basis of a technicality</strong>. <br />
<br />
Second, remember <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%201:9;&version=9;">Christ is the light that <strong>enlightens <span class="style44">all</span> men</strong></a>. Remember <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Act%202:16-17;&version=9;">the Spirit of God has been <strong>poured out on <span class="style44">all mankind</span></strong></a>. Anyone who <strong>totally obeys </strong>the
Light of their conscience can attain union with God. However many forms
of meditation teach you to ignore all thoughts and all voices; but <strong>unless you obey the convictions and complete moral commands heard and understood, there is no spiritual progress</strong>.
So, people from some other faiths can get very spiritual in
meditation; like all men, they have the spirit within them chained down
waiting for liberation from prison. They can become more enlightened and
more spiritual than 'christians' of the various 'christian' deficit
sects. Some of the other religions strive for the death of the ego,
rejection of materialism, attaining inner peace, reaching enlightenment,
and call for more holiness from their believers; all as necessary to
please God. They find today's 'Christianity' unacceptable, because the
'christian' sects use the death of Jesus as an excuse to live in sin
without guilt; the opposite of holiness and instead, an embrace of
hypocrisy. As reported, when Gandhi was asked why he couldn't accept
Jesus, he said, "I too will become a Christian, when I meet a Christian
like Jesus." <br />
<br />
Third, the Light in all men, <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=1John%202:27;&version=31;"><strong>which is the only teacher anyone needs</strong></a>, will eventually reveal its identity as Christ to the sincere individuals of other religions in their meditations. <strong>They then have the choice </strong>whether
to accept him or not. Unfortunately they often decline, because of
their loyalty to the teachings of their inherited faith and because of
the poor record of most 'christians' around them and throughout history.
They may live a very peaceful life, but their progress stops.<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%2014:20,23,John%2017:20-23,2%20Peter%201:4,Eph%202:5,Heb%203:14;&version=9;">
They cannot get to total union with God to live in the Kingdom of
Heaven, unless they accept Christ - the only way to enter the spiritual
dimension in this life. </a>Rejecting Christ, they have thrown the proverbial baby out with the dirty bath water. They have rejected Christ, because of <em>'churchianity</em>.' </span><br />
</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="journal">We know people who have gone into the
Light by a variety of meditation methods; one person using TM had the
Light tell her that He would heal her. It was suggested to her that the
Light was Christ, but that person rejected the Light to be Christ,
because she had rebelled from a condemning fundamental christian sect.
Rejecting the Light to be Jesus, she missed the opportunity to be
healed of her sickness and the opportunity to attain union with God in
his Kingdom. </span></div>
<div class="journal" style="text-align: center;">
So if he reveals himself to you in your
meditations, this is not the Jesus of the deficit sects, who claim him
as an excuse for an unholy lifestyle while condemning others living
similarly, but<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%201:4;&version=9;"> <strong>this is Christ, the life which is the light of men. </strong></a>He said,<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%208:12,%20John%2012:46,%20John%2012:36;&version=9;"> I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. <span class="comments">John 8:12.</span> I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. <span class="comments">John 12:46.</span> <strong>Believe in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light</strong>. <span class="comments">John 12:26.</span></a></div>
<div class="journal" style="text-align: center;">
Christ said to,<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Luk%2021:36;&version=9;"> "pray that you will have the strength to stand before the Son of Man." </a>It refers to <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%2016:8;&version=45;">conviction</a>. While sitting quietly waiting on the Lord, (meditation), which is necessary to attain purity, <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=getverses.php?search=Eph%205:13,,Jer%2017:10,Heb%204:12;&version=31;">the Light shows us the evil that is in our heart</a>. Our tendency is to deny it and <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/Letters/gfsection1.html#10">to run </a>from the light which <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Eph%205:13,,Jer%2017:10,Heb%204:12;&version=31;">shows us our condition</a>.
Christ is our excuse for the unholy thing we are, and our lifeline to
stay or "stand," (not flee). We can't do it without him; it is too
humiliating to accept without knowing that he died to be our savior and
helper;<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?book_id=52&chapter=5&verse=1&version=31&context=verse"> he says PEACE, don't worry</a>.
He is our pass for being the way we are as we seek peace and
enlightenment. Without the knowledge of a friend and savior, our
meditations only go so far, because we draw back in fear of ourselves
compared to God. <br />
<br />
So, if when meditating, and you are shown something ugly
about yourself by the Light, don't draw back; recognize it is the Light
showing you your condition, and it is doing this to help us be rid of
it and become a better person; and that Christ has died for us, so that
we need not panic and draw away, but remain to focus on<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Eph%205:13;&version=31;"> the Light that shows us our condition</a>;
we can claim his help by just believing in his name. And then, just
when you don't expect it, strength will come; and whatever we have been<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Rom%208:27,%20Rev%202:23,Jer%2017:10,%20John%2016:7-9,1%20Chron%2028:9,Luke%202:35,Ephesians%205:13;&version=9;"> shown as a defect in our heart</a>,
we will have strength to be different from then on. By loving the Light
and feeling regret for what it is showing you while standing and not
fleeing, you are receiving Christ, the Light. This doesn't commit you
to '<em>churchianity</em>' or attending one of the deficit sects' services; <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/teacher.html#sect"><strong>to the contrary, he would keep you out of them</strong></a>.

If you've arrived at this site, still curious why Jesus is necessary, I have a challenge for you. Pick up a Bible <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Mat%205;&version=9;">(or click) and read the sermon on the Mount</a>; it won't take long. If you've been seeking, it will ring beyond true. If you like it, read <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%207%20:1;&version=31;">the book of John next</a>. John identifies the beauty of the promises to us, particularly <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%2014;&version=31;">John 14</a> and <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%2017;&version=31;">John 17</a>. A grouping of of Jesus' <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/Scripture_Grouping/commands.html">commands to everyone </a> and his <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/Scripture_Grouping/criticisms.html">criticisms of religious leaders</a>
are on the side bar. I believe you will find Christ's teachings so
superior to anything you have read, that you will want to learn more;
this happened to me.<strong> Jesus said, </strong><a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%207%20:17;&version=31;"><strong>If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.</strong> <span class="comments">John 7:17</span></a> <br />
<br />
The 'christians' of today are not examples of his teachings. The different <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/teacher.html#sect">deficit sects</a>
fight over the interpretation of the recorded words of the saints, (the
interpretations of the Bible), without seeking the same Spirit that

but <span class="style77">[only] he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven</span>.
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in Your name,
cast out demons in Your name,
and done many wonders in Your name?
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;
<span class="style77">depart from Me, you who practice <strong>lawlessness</strong></span>!’ <span class="comments">Mat 7:21-23</span></a>. Obviously <strong>they called him Lord</strong>, and they had enough <strong>faith that he was the son of God</strong> to perform wonderful miracles in his name; <span class="style7">but that was not enough</span> - <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/Scripture_Grouping/lawlessness.html">they practiced lawlessness</a>, thinking there was no need to <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/law.html">obey him</a>!
Jesus is saying that they have not made them their Lord in practice,
who controls their lives in their actions and words; he doesn't know
them to be his subjects as their <strong>ruling</strong> Lord. <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?book_id=47&chapter=15&verse=8&version=45&context=verse">They say Jesus is Lord with their lips, but keep him far removed from their hearts to really be their Lord and King. </a><br />
<br />
Jesus said: <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Mat%207:21%20;&version=50;">Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father.</a><br />
And how do you do the will of the Father? <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Luke%209:35;&version=45;">Then there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, <br />
<strong>"This is My Son, My Chosen One or My Beloved; <span class="style44">listen to and yield to and obey Him</span>!” </strong><span class="comments">Luk 9:35</span></a><br />
You must<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/Scripture_Grouping/come_listen_hear.html"> go to him, listen to him, hear him, and obey him</a> - repeatedly. <br />
Doing this will result in him cleansing you, making you fit to
be in his presence, making him your ruling Lord in words and actions.<br />
<a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Heb%205:9;&version=45;">He [Jesus] became the Author and Source of eternal <strong>salvation to all those who give heed and <span class="style44">obey </span>Him</strong>. <span class="comments">Heb 5:9</span></a></div>

You might be asking, how could this be true? Everyone believes that
there is nothing I have to do but believe in Jesus, and maybe get
baptized in water. The answer is in the Bible; countless examples in
the history of Israel where they forgot the requirements of
righteousness and became <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?book_id=52&chapter=8&verse=8&version=50&context=verse">comfortable in their flesh</a>.
In cycles, a prophet would arise, point out their universal error, and
then get persecuted or killed; then the people were punished, they
repented and lived correctly until they again drifted back into a false
religion. The same thing happened in the early church; <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=Jude%201:4;&version=31;">Jude
wrote in 1:4, For certain men whose condemnation was written
about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless
men, <span class="style44">who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality</span>.</a> <strong>All</strong> the <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/Deficiencies.html">deficit sects</a> of today are simply variations on the doctrines established by the Roman emperor, and of course <em>saint</em>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea">Constantine in 325 AD</a> regarding salvation and Christianity; the doctrines were further standardized by later Roman emperors, including the <em>sainted</em> despot, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justinian#Religious_policy">Justinian</a>.
Within sixty-five years the true church, with its correct doctrines,
was stamped out by the deceptive lure of their doctrine of instant,
ritualized salvation, coupled with the Roman Empire's crushing boot of
persecution for any deviation from their authorized, state religion. <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?book_id=73&chapter=18&verse=3&version=9&context=verse">As predicted in the Bible's Book of Revelation, the church had adulterated with the Kings of the earth</a>. For 1260 years the true church was banished to the wilderness, to appear again in 1650 with the breakthrough of the <a href="http://www.hallvworthington.com/index.html#endworldentry">early Quakers </a>- only to die again by 1880 due to the deception of presumptive salvation. People are eager to embrace the broad, easy way. <strong><br />

ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,

We will look at the facts surrounding Whitney Houston’s death, the symbolic elements of the 2012 Grammy Awards (including Nikki Minaj’s ritualistic performance) and see how the ceremony turned into another mega-ritual.<br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10369" height="320" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/leadgrammys.jpg" title="leadgrammys" width="568" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I had a feeling that in 2012 the occult agenda of the entertainment industry would be kicked in high gear. I was right: In the span of a week, the most important night in sports (the Superbowl – see the article about it <a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/musicbusiness/madonnas-superbowl-halftime-show-a-celebration-of-the-grand-priestess-of-the-music-industry/" target="_blank">here</a>) and music (the Grammys) were infused with ritualistic elements witnessed by millions of viewers. While the Superbowl half-time show lasted only 13 minutes, the ritual surrounding the Grammys lasted for days and its aftermath is still going on as odd facts and accounts regarding Whitney Houston continue to surface in the media.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This article will list several facts and events that took place before, during and after the Grammy Awards that have a symbolic significance in the grand scheme of things. While some of the facts mentioned here might have been the result of coincidence or poor timing, they still came together in one big, classic case of <b>synchronicity</b>. In other words, apparent coincidences sometimes reveal an underlying pattern behind events.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><i>“Carl Jung described synchronicity as ” the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance and that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner. Synchronistic events reveal an underlying pattern, a conceptual framework that encompasses, but is larger than, any of the systems that display the synchronicity. Concurrent events that first appear to be coincidental but later turn out to be causally related are termed incoincident.”</i></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;">When we look at the facts and the occurrences surrounding Whitney Houston’s death coupled with the symbolic elements of the 2012 Grammy awards, the entire “event” has the looks of an occult ritual, complete with a blood sacrifice, a celebration and even a “re-birth”. Some of the things described below were pre-planned, while others were possibly just odd coincidences. However, the overwhelming and almost palpable energy emanating from the 2012 Grammys definitely made some things align in a synchronistic fashion. Let’s look at the most significant events that happened during that fateful weekend.</div><h1 style="text-align: center;">Strange Facts Surrounding Whitney Houston’s Death</h1><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10373" height="287" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/huston-e1329423143435.jpg" title="huston" width="500" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you read other articles on this site, you probably noticed that everything surrounding Whitney Houston’s is astonishingly on-par with other celebrity “sacrifices”. Accounts of strange events before the death, bizarre behavior of the authorities when the death was discovered, conflicting reports, vagueness surrounding the cause of the death and, to top it off, a worrying “response” from the music industry through the Grammys. Her case followed the same pattern as several other celebrity deaths that were blamed on drugs despite many conflicting reports. As it was the case for these other celebrities, the media almost automatically launched a campaign depicting Whitney as a hopeless drug addict. Maybe she was a drug addict, but that might only be the tip of the iceberg … a symptom of the true illness that killed Whitney: the music business.</div><h2 style="text-align: center;">Strange Events</h2><div style="text-align: center;">As in the cases of Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy and many others, bizarre events preceded and followed the death of Whitney Houston. After reviewing all of those accounts, one cannot help but wonder: Was Whitney’s death truly an accident or was it a deliberate sacrifice planned by “unseen forces”? While most media reports drum into people’s heads that “Whitney Houston = Drugs”, some sources reveal other details that might lead to other paths of thinking. Here’s Roger Friedman’s account of things that happened at the Beverly Hilton on February 11th:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><h4>Whitney’s Death: An Earlier Incident?</h4>Whitney Houston’s death made for a long day’s journey into night at the Beverly Hilton. While the Clive Davis Grammy dinner had to proceed downstairs in the ballroom–with 800 guests already filing in as the news was breaking–Whitney remained in state, so to speak, in her fourth floor suite. She was not removed until just moments before the party ended–a little after midnight. She’d been in the suite, discovered in her bathtub. But there were many people in the suite when this happened at 3:50pm including her daughter Bobbi Kristina, her brother Gary, sister in law Pat Houston, and another player in this story — a nightlife friend who’d been guiding her around town the last few days as she was photographed in states of duress.<br />
What you don’t know is that around 11pm, paramedics were called back to the fourth floor. Security and police raced back to the 4th floor. A medical wheelchair with restraints was brought in through the back entrance to the hotel. Bobbi Kristina “freaked out”–well, she’d been upstairs for hours with her mother’s dead body in the next room. It was understandable. The paramedics thought they were going to to have to take her to the hospital. But calm was restored. For ten minutes, though, security cleared the entire lobby of the hotel while the concert was going on inside the ballroom. I was out there at that moment, and it was one of the strangest scenes ever.<br />
Then there’s the mysterious story of a leak that occurred the night before from Whitney’s group of suites. A man on the third floor right underneath Houston’s suite suddenly experienced water cascading into his bathroom from above at 2:30am. It wasn’t just a trickle. The man called security, then went upstairs to the fourth floor to see what was going on. He swears to me that it was Whitney’s bathtub that was overflowing. He also says that a flat screen television had been been broken–the screen was smashed. My sources at the hotel say there was a “leak” but that it wasn’t from Whitney’s room. “They [her group] have a lot of rooms up there,” says the hotel source. My source, this man, insists that he was told it was Whitney Houston’s room. It does seem to have been part of her group of rooms.<br />
There are many mysteries here. None of them have been reported or solved by TMZ or one of the other muckracking tabloids. I know the man who had to pull Whitney out of the bathtub yesterday and attempt to give her CPR. He told me, “She was already dead. There was nothing I could do.”<br />
More on Whitney’s death and the Grammy party follows in the next post. And believe me, dear readers, this isn’t easy. I’ve known Whitney Houston and her family for over 25 years. She was a beautiful girl with a big heart. She was full of optimism. Her mother is one of the finest people. The people who worked for and with her were devoted to her. When the shock turns to anger there will be a lot of finger pointing. But in the end, Whitney ruled her own world.<br />
- Source: <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/rogerfriedman/2012/02/12/whitneys-death-an-earlier-incident/" target="_blank">Forbes</a></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am not a criminal investigator and I cannot solve all of the mysteries surrounding Whitney’s death but the fact that her body was there for hours, while a pre-Grammy party was happening just below is a little off-putting. Why wasn’t it simply cancelled? Isn’t the presence of the dead body of a legendary singer in the same exact location as the party reason enough to cancel it? Was there some type of twisted thrill of partying right below Houston’s body?</div><div style="text-align: center;">In another article, Roger Friedman noted the presence of a strange “Hollywood insider” lurking around Whitney Houston that was also around Michael Jackson during his “difficult periods”. Who is that guy?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><h4>Whitney Houston’s Mystery Friend Was Also Michael Jackson’s Pal</h4>Here’s the one person in the Whitney Houston story whose name you have not heard, and who has remained a mystery: a Dutch man from Amsterdam who goes by the name of <b>Raffles van Exel</b>. He is also known – in court records—as Raffles Dawson and Raffles Benson. He was on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in one of Houston’s suites when she died. He appeared downstairs in the lobby shortly thereafter, wearing aviator sunglasses, sobbing.<br />
As usual, he had an entourage in tow, including Quinton Aaron, the actor who played the football player in “The Blind Side.” Raffles, in one of his many PR Newswire releases, recently announced that he’s producing movies with Aaron. It’s just one of many ventures he announces regularly. For someone who has no obvious means of support, he is a regular on PR Newswire and You Tube. On the latter, you can find him interviewing friends of Michael Jackson. It is assumed that he sells stories to tabloids. He regularly includes names of tabloid reporters like Kevin Frazier of “The Insider” on his Tweets.<br />
Despite the shock of Whitney’s death, Raffles still made it downstairs to Clive Davis’s party. He was dressed in formal wear, had Whitney’s tickets in his hand, and intended to sit at her table. Just inside the ballroom he was comforted by celebrities to whom he related his story—“I found Whitney.” Gayle King hugged him. Quincy Jones listened patiently to his story. A security guard told me later, “Well, he <i>was</i> up there.” He was also hanging around with Houston all week prior to her death. On Tuesday when she emerged from a nightclub, looking disheveled, Raffles appears in a photograph on TMZ like a deer in headlights. He is standing right behind her in a powder blue suit. On Twitter, he wrote: “STOP reading the stupid blogs.. Whitney had a great time, she looked amazing. Nothing was wrong, it was just DAMN hot in that club.”<br />
But who is Raffles van Exel? He’s one of Hollywood’s mysteries. I first met him in 2005 hanging around the Jackson family during Michael Jackson’s child molestation trial. After Michael went abroad, Raffles was often seen with Michael’s father, Joseph Jackson. He trades on being an “insider” when there’s a scandal. No one really knows him, but he’s always where there’s action and celebrities. On the internet he claims to own a number of companies including Raffles Entertainment. He’s also been sued a couple of times, once by a partner in something called Max Records, Inc., and once by a private aviation company in Los Angeles. I spoke to the plane company and they said they can’t comment because the situation is ongoing. On Twitter he claims to be managing “my girl,” Chaka Khan. There are plenty of pictures of Raffles on the internet with celebrities. You can see him with everyone from Magic Johnson to Sandra Bullock. If ever there was a real life Zelig, he is it.<br />
It’s not a surprise that Raffles has turned up in Whitney Houston’s story. Last October, he and Whitney and others traveled to North Carolina with Whitney’s sister in law Patricia Houston for something called a Teen Summit. It was billed as part of The Patricia Houston Foundation, an organization for which there is no official 501 c3 registration. Pat Houston, married to Whitney’s brother Gary, has been Whitney’s manager for years. (Whitney’s own foundation for children ceased functioning years ago.) She also owns a consignment shop in North Carolina, and a candle company called Marion P. Candles, with Whitney.<br />
Look for Raffles at Whitney’s funeral tomorrow. In the old days he used to wear a yellow jacket full of black question marks—like The Riddler. On Saturday night, as he pulled in various guests to Clive Davis’s party past the velvet ropes, he was wearing a Michael Jackson-like tuxedo. He lives in West Hollywood now, but his official domicile—and where he’s been sued—is Chicago. He has not responded to countless emails and phone messages.<br />

Did Whitney fall out of the good graces of the music industry elite? Was she becoming difficult to manipulate? Was she sacrificed to introduce her successor? Difficult to say, but Whitney appeared to have premonitions about her death. Some reports described her as “manic” and agitated while others state that <a href="http://entertainment.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/15/10417047-what-was-in-whitneys-secret-note-to-brandy" target="_blank">Whitney felt that “her days were numbered”</a>. Shortly before her death, Whitney was spotted handing singer Brandy a message whose contents remained a mystery.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><h4>What was in Whitney’s secret note to Brandy?</h4>Singer Brandy has one of the last messages ever delivered by Whitney Houston — but she’s not telling anyone what it says.<br />
On Feb. 9 in Los Angeles, Houston approached the younger singer as she and fellow singer Monica and mentor Clive Davis were conducting an interview with E!<br />
A <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/02/13/whitney-houston-passes-note-to-brandy-in-last-e-interview-video/">post on RyanSeacrest.com</a> says Houston “crashed” the interview, then goes on to say “Whitney seemed a bit manic as she told Monica about swimming ‘two hours a day,’ and conspicuously handed a note to Brandy before hugging Davis.”<br />
<div><div><div><div>When E! later asked Brandy directly what the note said, she replied “I’m going to just not say what it was and just keep it to myself for my own personal reasons.” She also told the network “Whitney meant everything to me … She’s the reason that I sing.”</div></div></div></div>Brandy and Houston starred in the 1997 remake of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.” Brandy also is the elder sister of singer Ray J, who had reportedly dated Houston on and off over the last two years of her life. Ray J gained notoriety in 2003 when a sex tape of him with Kim Kardashian was leaked to the public.<br />
<a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/monica_brandy_talk_whitney_houston/294037">E! has video</a> of Houston handing the note to Brandy, and Brandy’s comments about not revealing its contents.<br />

In the case of Whitney Houston, the number 11 is definitely a factor. In elite occult circles, the number 11 is a “master number” (it cannot be reduced) and, because it exceeds the number 10 (the number of perfection) by 1, it is usually associated with bad foreboding and black magic. Qabbalists associate the number 11 with transgression of the law, rebellion, war, sin, sorcery and martyrdom.</div><div style="text-align: center;">For this reason, the occult elite often associates mega-rituals involving sacrifice with the number 11. What was the massive mega-ritual of the modern times? September 11th – involving the Twin Towers. At what exact time do we “remember” WWI soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their rulers? At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month – Veterans Day, aka Remembrance Day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Going further than the date of her death, another link associates Whitney and her death with Lady Gaga and previous Grammy awards. As some know, Lady Gaga had close ties with fashion designer Alexander McQueen, who was no stranger to occult and mind control symbolism in his work. McQueen died on February 11th, 2010.</div><div style="text-align: center;">During the 2011 Grammy Awards, Gaga stated about her song “Born This Way”:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><i>“I need to thank Whitney Houston. I wanted to thank Whitney, because when I wrote ‘Born this Way,’ I imagined she was singing it – because I wasn’t secure enough in myself to imagine I was a superstar. So, Whitney, I imagined you were singing ‘Born This Way’ when I wrote it.”</i></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;">“Born This Way” was released on February 11th, 2011. Exactly one year later, Whitney Houston dies on February 11th, 2012. Did Gaga (or her handlers) know something that the rest of us didn’t? Her outfit evidently shows that death was on her mind.</div><div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: center;"><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_10379" style="width: 257px;"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-10379" height="290" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/gagagrammys-e1329500920578.jpg" title="gagagrammys" width="247" /><br />
<div class="wp-caption-text">Artists usually have their award ceremony wardrobes selected well in advance. Apparently, death was on Gaga's (or her handler's) mind.</div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another little fact: Whitney’s room number was 434 – which in Qabbalistic numerology equals 11 (4+3+4).</div><h2 style="text-align: center;">Statements from Industry Veterans</h2><div style="text-align: center;">Who is better placed than artists who have worked in the music industry for years to provide insightful takes on the death of Whitney Houston? They obviously do not hold the ultimate truth and they might just be trying to make sense of things like the rest of us, but they have first -and experience when it comes to the workings of the music industry.</div><div style="text-align: center;">During an interview on Good Morning America, industry giant Celine Dion bluntly blamed the “bad influence” of show business for Whitney’s death. She even stated that you “have to be afraid” of show business.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote>“It’s just really unfortunate that drugs, bad people or bad influence took over. It took over her dreams. It took over her love and motherhood. When you think about Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe and Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse, to get into drugs like that, for whatever reason. Is it because of the stress and bad influence? What happens when you have everything? What happens when you have love, support, the family, motherhood? You have responsibilities of a mother and then something happens and it destroys everything. That’s why I don’t do parties and I don’t hang out. That’s why I’m not part of show business. We have to be afraid. I’ve always said you have to have fun and do music and you can never be part of show business because you don’t what it’s going to get yourself into. You have to do your work and get out of there.”<br />

During an interview with Piers Morgan, she stated:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote>“I think we all, as artists, because we’re highly sensitive people, and this machine around us, this so-called ‘music industry,’ is such a demonic thing. It’s sacrifices people’s lives and their essences at the drop of a dime … I had a manager once say to me, ‘ You know you’re worth more money dead than alive.’<br />
I mean, I’ve cried for her, a lot over the years, so many times. In a way I’ve mourned her, because I felt something was gonna happen because she was so close to the wire.”<br />

Judging by the symbolism found at the Grammy awards, she was probably right on the dot.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Because of Whitney Houston’s death, the 2012 edition of the Grammy Awards had a peculiar feel that was almost palpable through the television screen. Intentionally or not, Whitney’s death was tied-in with the awards ceremony and the symbolism that transpired from it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The ceremony began in a very peculiar fashion, especially given the context of the Whitney’s death. Bruce Springsteen yelled to the crowd “<i>Are you alive out there?</i>“, then sang the song <i>We Take Care of Our Own</i>, a mantra that was repeated throughout the evening. Well, I know someone who was definitely <i>not</i> alive out there – the very person that was on everyone’s mind when the show began. And, in the last years of her life, she wasn’t particularly well taken care of, either. In fact, as I stated in the article, <a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/what-happened-to-whitney-houston/" target="_blank">What Happened to Whitney Houston</a>, I believe that something terrible happened to Whitney Houston that went way beyond using drugs. She was mentally, psychologically and even spiritually disturbed. Was she under mind control or the subject of some kind of dark rituals? Difficult to say. But, as Springsteen chanted <i>We Take Care of Our Own</i> as if it was the anthem of the industry, I couldn’t help but think that Whitney was probably not “one of them”. Her “industry-approved” replacement, however, is “one of them”.</div><h2 style="text-align: center;">Out With the Old, In With the New?</h2><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_10381" style="text-align: center; width: 510px;"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-10381" height="342" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/431101_3422843532531_1313517051_3468948_929873820_n-e1329501277130.jpg" title="431101_3422843532531_1313517051_3468948_929873820_n" width="500" /><br />
<div class="wp-caption-text">Industry mogul Clive Davis with Whitney Houston and Jennifer Hudson.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">A day before Whitney’s death, Clive Davis told Piers Morgan that Jennifer Hudson was “the next Whitney”. While Whitney was being reduced to the state of has-been, constantly humiliated by tabloid stories, Hudson was being groomed to become the next industry diva. After being discovered on American Idol, Hudson’s career took off … right after the violent murders of her mother and brother in 2008. Her first public appearance after the traumatic event was singing the <i>Star-Spangled Banner</i> during Superbowl XLIII.</div><div style="text-align: center;">At the 2012 Grammy Awards, who do you think was chosen to pay tribute to the fallen artist by singing her greatest hit <i>I Will Always Love You</i>?</div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_10385" style="text-align: center; width: 510px;"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-10385" height="258" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/hudson.jpg" title="hudson" width="500" /><br />
<div class="wp-caption-text">In her tribute to Houston, Hudson was literally placed "in the spotlight" while a picture of Houston floated above her.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another artist of Whitney’s calibre re-emerged triumphant, almost like a re-birth after a period of silence: Adele. However, the symbolic ceremony of the 2012 Grammy Awards could not be completed without a true ritual dealing with the spiritual realm. Nikki Minaj took care of that.</div><h2 style="text-align: center;">The Black Mass</h2><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_10378" style="text-align: center; width: 310px;"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-10378" height="400" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/nikki-minaj-435-e1329496883792.jpg" title="nikki-minaj-435" width="300" /><br />
<div class="wp-caption-text">Nicki Minaj enters the Grammys in a ritualistic red robe, color of sacrifice and initiation. Was it a reference to Whitney's blood sacrifice?</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">The Grammy Awards ceremony may have begun with a heart-felt prayer for Whitney Houston, but it ended with an all-out Satanic Black Mass. From her “red carpet” entrance to her musical performance, Nikki Minaj played the role of a woman possessed by a demon named “Roman Zolanski”. The 2012 Grammy Awards were apparently chosen to “exorcise” this demon from Nikki and to present it to the world as her new alter-ego. In last year’s Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga also presented a new persona for <i>Born This Way</i>: a Gaga with horns on her forehead.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In a music industry permeated with the concept of mind control, alter-personas that are completely separate from the artists are now the norm. As discussed in the article <a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/monarch-programming-mind-control/" target="_blank">Origins and Techniques of Monarch Mind Control</a>, the goal of Monarch programming is to create new personalities within a mind-control victim using violent trauma and frightening rituals. The personas that are created are fully programmable by their handlers and can even speak with a different accent, as is the case with Minaj’s alter persona. The chorus of Minaj’s song <i>Roman Holiday</i> appears to refer to the process of mind control:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote>Take your medication, Roman<br />
Take a short vacation, Roman<br />
You’ll be okay<br />
You need to know your station, Roman<br />
Some alterations on your clothes and your brain<br />
Take a little break, little break<br />
From your silencing<br />
There is so much you can take, you can take<br />
I know how bad you need a Roman holiday</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mind-control slaves are highly medicated and have their clothes (outward style) and brain “altered” by their handlers. This is accomplished by forcing the victim to dissociate from reality through intense trauma and pain: “There is so much you can take” before the mind dissociates from reality or goes on a “Roman Holiday”.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Minaj’s alter-persona is named Roman Zolanski. He has his own strange accent and is evidently the product of evil rituals. The name of this alter is inspired by movie director Roman Polanski, who produced <i>Rosemary’s Baby</i>, a movie about the birth of the Anti-Christ (see the article about it <a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/moviesandtv/roman-polanskis-rosemarys-baby-and-the-dark-side-of-hollywood/" target="_blank">here</a>). Polanski is even more famous for being charged with <i>rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious act upon a child under 14, and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor</i> in 1977. Strange fellow to be inspired by. He is however an intricate piece in the history of the occult entertainment industry so this “tribute” to him by an industry pawn such as Minaj is not surprising.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Actual Monarch programming is accomplished using a strong undercurrent of Satanic imagery to disturb and traumatize the victim. In the case of Minaj’s performance, her alter ego was exorcised in a Satanic Black Mass – which is, in essence, a mockery and a desecration of a conventional Christian mass.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10369" height="281" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/leadgrammys-e1329523370567.jpg" title="leadgrammys" width="500" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Minaj begins her performance tied up in what appears to be Catholic church. The force that possesses her is apparently too strong to hold her down though, and as the church windows explode, she is unbound. Minaj then descends into a church gone wild, complete with strippers rubbing on young priests who are attempting to pray to God (was that really necessary?).</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then, as the choir make a mockery of the classic Christian hymn <i>O Come All Ye Faithful</i>, a pope figure enters and makes Minaj levitate.</div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_10389" style="text-align: center; width: 510px;"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-10389" height="262" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/minaj.jpg" title="minaj" width="500" /><br />
<div class="wp-caption-text">This Christian mass turned into a fiery black magic ritual for the world to see.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">In short, Minaj’s performance presented the world her new alter-ego who will be rapping on her next album. Her performance made it clear that Roman Zolanski is nothing less than a demon that was created with Minaj and exorcised from her through a Black Mass ritual. If the performance alone was enough to trouble some viewers, when it is put in the context of Whitney Houston’s death that happened about 24 hours beforehand (a singer that was never shy about her Christian faith), the whole thing takes on an even more troubling dimension. Ancient magicians drew on the power of blood sacrifices to carry on Black Magic rituals. With Whitney’s death still fresh in everyone’s mind, the Black Mass that was proudly presented by the 2012 Grammy Awards had all the more potency on its worldwide viewers.</div><h2 style="text-align: center;">In Conclusion</h2><div style="text-align: center;">This article presented a great number of facts and symbols that point towards the conclusion that Whitney Houston’s death may have been a blood sacrifice and that the 2012 Grammy Awards had occult ritualistic elements within it. Even if all of these events were not deliberately planned by industry handlers, they all contribute to a clear and disturbing picture of the music industry.</div><div style="text-align: center;">While Whitney Houston’s life was ending under bizarre circumstances and she was portrayed in the media as a hopeless drug addict, a new generation of Illuminati-approved artists were being placed in the spotlight. They willingly participated in the occult ritual that was the Grammy Awards and played their role in the tragic-comedy of the music industry, even if it meant losing their essence and their soul. What happens to those who don’t play along with the system or rebel against it? They disappear from the spotlight, and sometimes they disappear from this earth in less than dignified circumstances. Because, as the mantra of the 2012 Grammy Awards indicates: The elite take care of their own. And no one else.</div></div>Princehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13818535915432520209noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964221213859448963.post-19401226005371253922012-02-22T17:22:00.001+03:002012-02-22T17:24:00.353+03:00Whitney Houston<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/what-happened-to-whitney-houston/"><br />

Blessed with arguably the biggest voice ever heard in the music industry and endowed with a fiery personality that matched it, Whitney was the archetype of the diva superstar. Her song <i>I Will Always Love You</i> is now the ultimate song for aspiring singers to showcase their talents. However, no matter who attempted to take on that on that song, they exposed themselves to the same comment: “Good, but not as good as Whitney”. She was the personification of pure, God-given talent.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Unfortunately, the saying “The higher they fly, the harder they fall” has applied to Whitney all too well. The young girl who got discovered while singing in a church choir and who went on to become most awarded female act of all-time descended into a fiery hell of drugs, abuse and trauma. Upon learning about her death, I immediately recalled a particular interview that disturbed me. It was the lengthy interview she gave Oprah in 2009, where she described her drug usage and her tumultuous relationship with Bobby Brown. While her words were unsettling, it was her entire demeanour that got to me. The diva personality was gone. The fire in her eyes was extinguished. She simply wasn’t the same person I saw during the 90′s. When she took the stage to sing her new single, the heavenly voice we expected to come out wasn’t there. It was as if her soul was sucked out of her.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Watching her discuss with Oprah, I kept asking myself: “What the hell happened to Whitney?” Most people would immediately reply “drugs”. But I had the sick feeling that there was more to it. Her eyes betrayed deep psychological and even spiritual trauma. Marijuana and cocaine, the two drugs she admitted using, do not make people this way. Even if she did crack or whatever other drug, there was something else in her eyes and I felt that Whitney was holding back the true cause of her downfall. I asked myself: Was she under mind control? Was there an occult ritual, black magic or outright, literal selling of her soul involved there? Did her “contract with unseen forces expire”? Was Bobby Brown her handler? This portion of Oprah’s interview particularly struck me and, when I first learned about her death, this automatically came to my mind:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><b>Oprah:</b> Did you think something was gonna happen in those drug-crazed, drug-filled days where you’re sitting for hours and days?<br />
<b>Whitney:</b> There were times when he (Bobby Brown) would smash things, break things in the home. Glass. We had a big, big giant portrait of me and him and my child. He cut my head off the picture. Stuff like that. And I thought, “This is really strange.” So I figured, cutting my head off a picture, that was a little much for me. That was one sign.<br />
And then there were other things like he started to paint in my bedroom eyes. Just eyes. Evil eyes that were looking at every point of the room.<br />
<b>Oprah:</b> He started to paint on the walls?<br />
<b>Whitney:</b> Yeah. The rugs. The walls. The closet doors. If I opened the door, there would be one picture. Then I’d close them and there would be another picture and eyes and faces. It was really strange. …<br />
<b>Oprah:</b> What are you doing with all of that?<br />
<b>Whitney:</b> I’m looking at it going, “Lord, what’s really going on here?” I was getting scared because I felt something was going to blow. Something was going to give.<br />
- <a href="http://www.oprah.com/entertainment/Oprahs-Exclusive-Interview-with-Whitney-Houston" target="_blank">Source</a></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;">Marijuana and cocaine can make people do crazy things, but this kind of behaviour was symptomatic of something a lot deeper. The cutting of one’s head and “evil eyes” are two obsessions of mind control victims (and/or spiritually disturbed people). Whatever the case may be, something awful happened to Whitney Houston in the years following her success. But what? What was Bobby Brown’s role? Difficult to say. In the same Oprah interview, Whitney described her mother’s attempts to rescue her.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><b>Whitney:</b> She said, “It’s not worth it.” She said: “If you move, Bobby, [the sheriff will] take you down. Don’t you make one move.” And he stood there like he was scared.<br />
And she said: “Let’s go. Let’s do this. I’m not losing you to the world. I’m not losing you to Satan. I’m not doing this. I want my daughter back. I want you back. I want to see that glow in your eyes. That light in your eyes. I want to see the child I raised. And you weren’t raised like this. And I’m not having it. So you make a choice, and you make it here today because I have a court injunction that says you have to go.” …<br />
- Ibid.</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, the day before “music’s biggest night”, Whitney was found dead in strange circumstances (apparently drowned in her bathtub) at age 48. As usual, drugs were almost automatically mentioned as a cause of her death. However, as it was the case for Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse and so many others, the investigation will probably be a long tedious process, full of vague statements and many contradictions. There are already reports of Whitney acting erratic in the hours before her death.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote>“First she first visited Brandy, Monica, and Clive Davis at rehearsals for the mogul’s pre-Grammys party, where a <i><a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2012/02/whitney-houston-dead-erratic-behavior.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles Times</a></i> reporter described her as reeking of alcohol, “visibly bloated,” and “disheveled in mismatched clothes and hair that was dripping wet with either sweat or water.” According to the <i>Times</i>, when Houston wasn’t mugging and gesticulating wildly for Brandy and Monica — who were doing a media junket, as well as preparing a duet — she was alternately skipping around the lobby or “wandering aimlessly” around the Beverly Hills Hotel grounds. Reportedly, guests had even called security to report the singer doing handstands by the hotel pool.<br />
Houston’s Thursday was about to get worse… way worse. That evening, she attended a party headlined by Kelly Price at the Tru nightclub in Hollywood. As she exited, seeming intoxicated, photographers took <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/Whitney+Houston/articles/cc5aMsAH9KV/Whitney+Houston+Nightclub+Pictures+2+Nights" target="_blank">close-ups of her legs</a>, which appeared to be spotted with blood streaks, along with scratches on her wrists.”<br />
- Yahoo! News, <a href="http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-the-presses/blood-sweat-dishevelment-whitney-houston-tumultuous-final-days-144148765.html" target="_blank">Whitney Houston’s Tumultuous Final Days</a></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;">Despite her death at the fourth floor Beverly Hilton Hotel, the traditional pre-Grammy show, with its glamour and glitz, took place at the same location…while her body was still there. As they say in showbiz, “the show must go on”. The show will indeed go on and I’m somehow reticent to see the kind of tribute the industry music is reserving her. If Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse are any indication, those who fall off the grace of the industry do not get a proper tribute…but a celebration of their sacrifice.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Was Whitney’s death an actual sacrifice or simply the result of years of abuse? The same question applies to countless artists who died too soon and in bizarre circumstances.</div></div>Princehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13818535915432520209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964221213859448963.post-74880226741500911862012-02-03T11:05:00.003+03:002012-02-03T11:05:40.811+03:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

"Dear Almighty Lord God Jesus Christ, I thank you for this day, for this is<br />
the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.<br />
<br />
I thank you for my being able to see, and to hear, and to speak, and to<br />
feel, and to taste of Your good creation this day and every day.<br />
<br />
I'm blessed because you are such a loving and such<br />
a forgiving God, and such an understanding and caring God.<br />
You have done so much for me and yet you keep on blessing me.<br />
Forgive me this day for everything<br />
I have ever done, or ever said or ever thought<br />
That was not pleasing to you. I say I am so sorry.<br />
I now repent and ask for your forgiveness.<br />
Please keep me safe O God<br />
From all danger, hurt, and harm.<br />
Help me to start this day and every day<br />
With a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.<br />
Let me make the best of each and every day,<br />
To clear my mind so that I can hear from you.<br />
Please broaden my mind so that I can accept all things. Let me not whine<br />
and whimper<br />
Over things I have no control over, for all things are working together for<br />
my good and God's Glory.<br />
And when I'm pushed beyond my limits, give me the<br />
best response, a response which says Alleluia, and<br />
Praise the Lord, and Thanks be unto the Most<br />
High God Almighty, I know that when I can't<br />
pray, You listen to the prayer of my heart.<br />
Continue to use me to do your will.<br />
Continue to bless me so that I may be<br />
A blessing to others.<br />
Keep me strong so that I may help the weak...<br />
Keep me uplifted so that I may have<br />
Words of encouragement for the discouraged.<br />
I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. That they come to<br />
know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, even through this Prayer I am now<br />
praying.<br />
<br />
I pray for those that are misjudged<br />
<br />
Misguided, misused, and misunderstood.<br />
I pray for those who don't know you intimately.<br />
I pray for those who will delete this prayer<br />
without sharing the Love of God with others<br />
I pray for those that don't believe.<br />
But I thank You, that I do believe<br />
That God changes people and God changes things.<br />
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.<br />
For each and every one of the family members<br />
In their households. I pray for peace, love, and joy<br />
in their homes; I pray that they are out of debt<br />
And that all their financial needs are met and they have more than enough<br />
to be a blessing to others.<br />
I pray for every eye that reads and says this Prayer<br />
That they come to know that there is no problem, no circumstance, no<br />
situation that is greater than God, for God is greater than all, God is<br />
greater in all, God is greater through all, and God is greater upon all.<br />
For God, the Most High God Almighty of all the Universe is truly the<br />
Greatest of All.<br />
<br />
I pray for all my enemies, and those who have used me and abused me, and<br />
have lifted up their hands and their tongue against me. I now forgive them<br />
for all they have done. In Jesus Name, all my enemies are now forgiven, and<br />
I pray God forgiveness upon all my enemies, for they do know what they are<br />
doing, for I am a Child of God.<br />
<br />
<br />
So every battle that I have ever encountered in my life is now in God's<br />
Loving hands, for You, O God fight all my battles for me.<br />
<br />
I pray that these words be believed, received and accepted<br />
<br />
into the hearts of every eye that sees them<br />
and every tongue that confesses them<br />
in name of Jesus Christ, I pray believing,<br />
receiving and accepting God's miracles in my life this<br />
day and every day, for God's Divine favor is now my<br />
heritage, in Jesus Name. Amen and Amen! It is<br />
done! O' Praise The Lord! Alleluia!<br />
<br />
. God Bless You!! ! ! !<br />
Just repeat the phrase below and see how God moves!!<br />
<br />
God I so love you and I need you. I confess that Jesus is the Christ, the<br />
Son of the Living God, my Lord, my Savior, and my King, and I confess this<br />
day and every day that I am highly FAVORED by God and man.<br />

merely opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will<br />
never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. Something good<br />
will happen to you today, something that you have been waiting for to hear.<br />
Please repeat these 30 Words, " Almighty Jesus Christ, my Everlasting<br />
Father, walk through my house and take away all my worries and illnesses,<br />
and please watch over and heal my family in Jesus name, Amen". This prayer<br />
is so powerful. Pass this to other people. A blessing is coming to you in<br />
form of a new job, a house, marriage or financially blessings. Do not break<br />
or ask questions. This is a test. Does God come first in your life? If so,<br />
stop what you’re doing & send it to other people right now......Lets take<br />
this Prayer around the world.....And watch what God does for you.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't stand before God empty handed. Send this out to as many people as<br />
possible now, and let this be your ministry unto God who Brings Miracles in<br />
your life today and everyday.*</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Expect God's Protection</b></span><br /><br />We should expect God's protection, and thank Him for it.<br /><br />But we must remember that we receive from God by faith. So if<br />we don't believe God will protect us, we are, in effect,<br />hindering God's protection.<br /><br />So we need to feed our faith on the promises of the Bible<br />concerning God's protection for His people. There are many, but<br />here are two.<br /><br /><b>ISAIAH 54:17 GWN</b>17 No weapon that has been made to be used against you will<br />succeed. You will have an answer for anyone who accuses you.<br />This is the inheritance of the LORD's servants. Their victory<br />comes from me," declares the LORD.<br /><br /><b>LUKE 10:19 NKJ</b><br />19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and<br />scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing<br />shall by any means hurt you.<br /><br />Then we also need to express our faith in thanks to God every<br />day for His protection. The ninety-first Psalm can help us do<br />this. I suggest you make it personal and speak it often.<br /><b><br />CONFESSION BASED ON PSALM 91 NLT</b><br />
<br />1 I live in the shelter of the Most High so I will find rest in<br />the shadow of the Almighty.<br />2 This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my<br />place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.<br />3 For he will rescue me from every trap and protect me from<br />deadly disease.<br />4 He will cover me with his feathers. He will shelter me with<br />his wings. His faithful promises are my armor and protection.<br />5 I will not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the<br />arrow that flies in the day.<br />6 I will not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the<br />disaster that strikes at midday.<br />7 Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are<br />dying around me, these evils will not touch me.<br />8 I can just open my eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.<br />9 I make the LORD my refuge, I make the Most High my shelter,<br />10 so no evil will conquer me; no plague will come near my<br />home.<br />11 For he will order his angels to protect me wherever I go.<br />12 They will hold me up with their hands so I won't even hurt<br />my foot on a stone.<br />13 I will trample upon lions and cobras; I will crush fierce<br />lions and serpents under my feet!<br />14 The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will<br />protect those who trust in my name.<br />15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in<br />trouble. I will rescue and honor them.<br />16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my<br />salvation."<br /><br /><b>SAY THIS: Thank You Lord for protecting me and my family today.</b></div>Princehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13818535915432520209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964221213859448963.post-26064422727565140062012-01-24T14:17:00.003+03:002012-01-24T14:17:37.403+03:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

What
do you do if you haven't studied for a certain exam? Would you skip the
exam or would you go and try to make the best out of it? Here's a list
of students that were <em>very</em> creative with their answers. Maybe something to do on your next exam.<br />
What do <strong>you</strong> think? Is this stupid or simply genius?
There's a small fine line between them both. There's one thing for sure:
It's hilarious and I wished I would have such a creative mind.<br />

Expensive Cars In The World: Top 10 List 2011-2012</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="entry">
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is the most expensive car in the world? The 1931 Bugatti
Royale Kellner Coupe was sold for $8,700,000 in 1987. However, that car
and many alike will not be included in this list because it is not
available on the market today. It is hard to imagine someone would
actually spend 8 million dollars on a car instead of using it for
something more productive. However, if you had the money and
opportunity, you would probably spend a small fraction of it on a
collection of supercars for your private garage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the 10 most expensive production cars on the market; we will not include concept cars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>World's Most Expensive Cars:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>1. </strong><a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/bugatti/bugatti-veyron/">Bugatti Veyron Super Sports</a> <strong>$2,400,000</strong>.
This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the
market today (the base Veyron costs $1,700,000). It is the fastest
accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. It is also the fastest
street legal car when tested again on July 10, 2010 with the 2010 Super
Sport Version reaching a top speed of 267 mph. When competing against
the Bugatti Veyron, you better be prepared! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>2. </strong><a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/pagani-zonda/2009-pagani-zonda-cinque-roadster/">Pagani Zonda Clinque Roadster</a> <strong>$1,850,000</strong>.
One of the most exotic cars out there is one of the most expensive. It
can go from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph. <a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/pagani-zonda-cinque-roadster.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17092" height="317" src="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/pagani-zonda-cinque-roadster-480.jpg" title="pagani-zonda-cinque-roadster" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>We have a tie for 3rd place:</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>3. </strong><a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/lamborghini-super-cars/lamborghini-reventon/">Lamborghini Reventon</a><strong> $1,600,000. </strong>The
most powerful and the most expensive Lamborghini ever built is the
third on the list. It takes 3.3 seconds to reach 60 mph and it has a top
speed of 211 mph. Its rarity (limited to 20) and slick design are the
reasons why it is so expensive and costly to own.<br />
<a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/lamborghini-reventon-side-view.jpg"><img alt="Lamborghini Reventon side view" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2398" height="218" src="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/lamborghini-reventon-side-view-thumbnail.jpg" title="Lamborghini Reventon side view" width="480" /></a></div>

The Agera R can burn 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of
260 mph. It has the parts to reach 270 mph, but the supercar is
electronically capped at 235 mph. With the completion of certain
paperwork, the company will unlock the speed limit for one occasion. <a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/koenigsegg-agera-r.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17094" height="196" src="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/koenigsegg-agera-r-480.jpg" title="koenigsegg-agera-r" width="480" /></a></div>

though it was built 15 years ago, it has an unbelievable top speed of
240 mph and reaching 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Even today, the McLaren F1
is still top on the list and outperforms many other supercars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>5. </strong><a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/ferrari/ferrari-enzo/">Ferrari Enzo</a><strong> $670,000.</strong>

<strong>6. </strong><a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/pagani-zonda/2005-zonda-f/">Pagani Zonda C12 F</a> <strong>$667,321. </strong>Produced
by a small independent company in Italy, the Pagani Zonda C12 F is the
6th most expensive car in the world. It promises to delivery a top speed
of 215 mph+ and it can reach 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/pagani-zonda-f-roadster-back-view.jpg"><img alt="Pagani Zonda C12 F: 2nd Most Expensive Car in the World" src="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/pagani_zonda_c12_f_revise.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>7. </strong><a href="http://www.thesupercars.org/ssc-aero/2009-ssc-ultimate-aero/">SSC Ultimate Aero</a><strong> $654,400</strong>.
Don't let the price tag fool you, the 7th most expensive car is
actually the 3rd fastest street legal car in the world with a top speed
of 257 mph+ and reaching 0-60 in 2.7 seconds. This baby cost less than
half as much as the Bugatti Veyron, yet has enough power to compete
against the most expensive car. It is estimated that only 25 of this

<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyone who has ever dreamt about owning a
supercar like a Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini, but finds themselves
several hundred-thousand dollars short, is probably driving around in
one of the three cars above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="366" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-625x366.jpg" title="Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review" width="625" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These three kings of the affordable
ultra-performance car market mark the point where, for everyday people,
affordability meets the kinds of cars that can lap race tracks at
near-supercar speeds – for just a fraction of the cost.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-review-03"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97342" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-03-625x415.jpg" title="Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-03" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Impreza WRX STI can arguably be
credited with making Subaru the household name that it is in Australia.
With years of rally pedigree in the past, the STI has at one stage or
another been a dream car for every teenage boy. The Mitsubishi Lancer
Evolution is no different. Like the STI, it’s based on a common car but
worked to its limit and capable of (almost) bending the laws of physics
to go around corners. Then you have the Golf R, the All-Wheel-Drive
(AWD) version of the popular Volkswagen with a new engine and some
seriously menacing looks that brings a sense of luxury to the segment –
for a cheaper price.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
To choose between these three requires some
serious thinking as they are all excellent cars for different people.
Over the last few months I’ve had the pleasure of driving all three of
these cars in their current iteration. Instead of writing
three separate reviews, here is a comparison.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
On paper alone the Subaru is the market
leader, it uses a 2.5-litre engine which gives it a 0.5-litre advantage
over the other two and hence produces the most power (221kW) and torque
(407Nm). This results in an official 0-100km/h time of 4.9 seconds,
which is pretty darn quick. Although it’s fair to point out that its
clutch wouldn’t appreciate you trying to prove this figure right too
many times. The Spec-R variant weighs more than its WRX sibling, coming
in at 1535kg (kerb weight).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/tc-mr-mivac"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97263" height="416" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/tc-mr-mivac-625x416.jpg" title="Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Engine" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Evo X is on a similar playing field
when it comes to acceleration. If you opt out for the dual-clutch
transmission (SST) there is even a launch control system (which you can
only use once for every time the car is turned on). Mitsubishi hasn’t
released official 0-100km/h figures but by all accounts it’s in the low
fives normally, and under good conditions it’s about a 4.9. Although the
Evo X feels the most nimble (more on this later), it’s the heaviest of
the three (MR – 1625kg kerb weight).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-2"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97264" height="416" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-engine-625x416.jpg" title="Volkswagen Golf R" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In a straight-out drag the Golf R is the
slowest of the group. The European specifications have it with
199kW/350Nm and 0-100km/h time of 5.7 (manual). For Australian
conditions the engine has been detuned to 188kW/330Nm of torque. That
gives it an official acceleration time of 5.9 for manual and 5.7 for
DSG. The old 3.2-litre six-cylinder engine of the R32 has been replaced
by a lighter and more efficient 2.0-litre turbo that although doesn’t
produce the same sound, gives the R a lot more in the mid-range.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x-gearbox"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97265" height="344" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Mitsubishi-Lancer-Evolution-X-Gearbox-625x344.jpg" title="Mitsubishi-Lancer-Evolution-X-Gearbox" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As for transmissions, Mitsubishi and
Volkswagen have it all over Subaru. For many years the WRX STI
was available only as a manual, but as of the Model Year 11 it’s now
available with a traditional five-speed automatic transmission. Compare
this to the high-tech dual-clutch transmission in the Golf R (DSG) and
the Getrag gearbox in the Evolution X (SST) and you’ll quickly notice
that Subaru has some catching up to do here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-review-29"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97316" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-29-625x415.jpg" title="Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-29" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you must buy an automatic, the STI is
definitely not the pick of the bunch given its 0-100km/h time increases
by a good second with an automatic transmission, making it the slowest
of the bunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Ride & Handling</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is the category that is the most
relevant to buyers of these cars. So let’s get something straight here,
all three of these vehicles are formidable sportcars and all go around
bends and corners at speeds most of us would never consider. But alas,
there are subtle differences in their approach. Before we get into the
technical details it’s worth noting how the cars feel behind the wheel.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-review-02"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97267" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-02-625x415.jpg" title="Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-02" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Starting the with Subaru, the MY11 STI has
taken a few steps backwards, which in this case is great. No longer does
it feel soft and underdone, nor is it trying to cater to an audience
which would never pick it in the first place. The new model is an
exceptional handler, it sits firm and goes around corners without
complaints. There is still the traditional Subaru AWD understeer if you
approach a corner at the wrong angle and speed, but once you learn to
master the beast its drivability will amaze you. The good thing about
the STI is that it’s actually rather comfortable around town for a car
designed to destroy corners.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-review-26"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97291" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-26-625x415.jpg" title="Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-26" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. You almost
need to say no more than just its name. Or perhaps just quote this
formula: P = M x w = 2 x ? x M x n. Apparently, that’s Mitsubishi’s
algorithm used to create the perfect balance of power and grip. The EVOs
have been renowned worldwide for offering the best ride & handling
for a car in their price range. In fact, it can even shame supercars
worth more than 10 times its price. It can also cost you a lot in visits
to a chiropractor.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/mitsubishi-lancer-evox-driving"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97307" height="480" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Mitsubishi-Lancer-EvoX-Driving-607x480.jpg" title="Mitsubishi-Lancer-EvoX-Driving" width="607" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whilst many will argue that the Evo IX was
the better car, if buying a used car isn’t an option than the EVO X
still maintains its status as class leader. The main difference between
the STI and the EVO is how they behave. Despite both being AWD and
essentially following the same idea, the EVO tends to feel much smaller,
nimbler and easier to get in and out of tight situations. When pushed
to its extremes it tends to have a tendency to oversteer rather than
understeer, which makes it a little more fun to drive. Although it’s
heavier, it almost encourages you to throw it into corners at
unrealistic speeds and watch it do its thing. If you crash an EVO, you
have done something extraordinarily wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/mitsubishi-evolution-x-rear2"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97308" height="420" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Mitsubishi-Evolution-X-Rear2-625x420.jpg" title="Mitsubishi-Evolution-X-Rear2" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Golf R is an interesting machine when
it comes to handling. It’s ever so predictable (a good thing), it
behaves more like the EVO than the STI and it goes around corners like
its stuck to the ground. Its firm ride makes it a little bit of a pain
as a daily driver if you commute on rough roads. Pushed back to back
with the other two it can easily keep up through the bends but its lower
power and torque means it can’t push out of corners as hard.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-review-01"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97344" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-01-625x415.jpg" title="Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-01" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Technically speaking all three
manufacturers have an array of systems with fancy names that keep these
cars doing what they do. All three handle brilliantly, but suit
different drivers. The EVO is the best all -rounder (as in, the easiest
to learn how to drive fast) and it makes use of the Mitsubishi’s Super
All Wheel Control System (S-AWC). This includes four independent systems
working together (via the car’s computer system).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-review-08"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97337" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-08-625x415.jpg" title="Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-08" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First, there is the Active Centre
Differential (ACD) which works out the perfect balance of torque between
front and rear, then the Active Stability Control (ASC) which fixes
under/oversteer. Super Active Yaw Control (SAYC) is the most technical
as it uses data from lateral and longitudinal acceleration, steering
angle and wheel speed to determine the best torque distribution for the
rear wheels. And then, there is the Sports ABS with Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD) which will bring the vehicle to a stop in the
best possible way.</div>

The reason it’s not recommended to learn
all that much about these systems is because it makes you realise that
despite what your ego tells you, it’s not you working out the best way
to conquer the next corner. The car does most of the work. You just
point the steering wheel in the right direction and do your best Lewis
Hamilton impression. In this case, ignorane is bliss.</div>

If you’re reading this part of the comparison then you must really be
keen. Sportcars and fuel economy are not generally two concepts that go
well together. All these fuel economy figures are meaningless if you’re
driving any of these three models enthusiastically at all times.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/mitsubishi-lancer-evox-ontrack"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97309" height="370" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Mitsubishi-Lancer-EVOX-OnTrack-625x370.jpg" title="Mitsubishi-Lancer-EVOX-OnTrack" width="625" /></a><br />
For example, during the one week that I spent with an EVO X, it went
through almost three tanks of fuel and I drove it only about 650km.
Impressive! That doesn’t mean the EVO X is not economical, it just means
that when it’s doing what it was designed to do, it puts fuel economy
at the bottom of its priorities. Even below saving the fairy penguins.
Officially it’s suppose to use 10.3L/100km (manual) or 10.6L/100km (SST)
for a combined city/highway cycle – which in it self isn’t all that
crash hot, but then again, we are not talking about an A-to-B car here.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-review-09"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97274" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-09-625x415.jpg" title="Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-09" width="625" /></a><br />
The WRX STI is about the same at 10.5L/100km (man) and suffers the
same fate if driven hard. Although its bigger fuel tank (60L) allows for
a little more range before having to stop.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-review-10"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97335" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-10-625x415.jpg" title="Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-10" width="625" /></a><br />
The Golf R is the elephant in the room here. It uses about 8.7L/100km
(DSG) and it actually gets pretty close to that figure when driven
normally. By far the most fuel efficient in its class.<br />
<strong>Interior and equipment</strong><br />
Interior and equipement? You’re expecting an interior and equipement
in cars that go around race tracks at supercar pace for a fraction of
their cost? Well, you’re in luck because it’s illegal to sell a car
without some form of an interior. Cars in this segment have for far too
long failed to provide a decent interior to match their exterior
presence and performance figures.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/mitsubishi-lancer-interior"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97349" height="400" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Mitsubishi-Lancer-Interior-625x400.jpg" title="Mitsubishi-Lancer-Interior" width="625" /></a><br />
In the case of the Evolution X, not all that much has changed. You
get Recaro full bucket front seats, a nice leather wrapped steering
wheel, gearshift knob plus a few other little things and that’s about
it. The rest of the interior is almost exactly the same as a base model
Lancer. Upgrade to the MR variant and you’ll get the Mitsubishi Multi
Communication System (MMCS) which comes with satnav, bluetooth and iPod
connectivity. If you’re lucky they will even throw in leather
combination seat trim with heated front seats and pretty Evolution scuff
plates.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/mitsubishi-lancer-steering-wheel"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97348" height="400" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Mitsubishi-Lancer-Steering-Wheel-625x400.jpg" title="Mitsubishi-Lancer-Steering-Wheel" width="625" /></a><br />
The people that take the Lancer and turn it from a basic two-wheel
drive commuter car into a an AWD supercar killer don’t really bother
with the interior. They spend all their budget on the engine and
exterior. If that bothers you, the EVO X is not for you.<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="416" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/STI-Recaro-625x416.jpg" width="625" /><br />
The Subaru’s interior is a few steps ahead of the EVO and provides a
nice balance of sportscar like interior and plenty of creature comforts.
It still makes use of hard plastics (which is interesting, given if you
went back to the previous generation it was soft-touch plastics) but
it’s a cosy cabin and everything is pretty much where it’s supposed to
be.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="416" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/STI-auto-11-625x416.jpg" width="625" /></div>
The Recaro seats are optional even on the Spec-R and not available on
the standard version. The Spec R’s interior gains black leather seats
and a multi-information in-dash satellite navigation system and single
CD/DVD player hooked up to a 10-speaker stereo and seven-inch
touchscreen.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-review-24"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97321" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-24-625x415.jpg" title="Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-24" width="625" /></a><br />
Then you’ve got the Golf R. Not only is it the cheapest car in its
class (starting from $49,990) but it’s also sporting the best interior. A
mixture of gorgeous bucket sports seats that look like they belong in a
fighter jet and a rather elegant cabin that puts its Japanese rivals to
shame. The only real complaint is that it looks pretty similar to the
other Golfs (bar a few things) so it doesn’t have that special ‘unique’
feel to it. But if you jump out of the other two and into a Golf R you’d
feel pretty darn special. In fact, you’d feel pretty darn special even
if you jumped into a Golf GTI.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-review-34"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97311" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-34-625x415.jpg" title="Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-34" width="625" /></a><br />
<strong>Exterior & Street Cred</strong><br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-review-04"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97341" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-04-625x415.jpg" title="Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-04" width="625" /></a><br />
If you’ve watched <em>Fast & Furious</em> a few times you’re more
likely to go with the Jap cars, but don’t be so quick to judge. Looks
are entirely subjective, so make up your own mind. In saying that, the
STI with its quad-exhausts and super-beefy stance looks like it means
some serious business.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/mitsubishi-lancer-evox-rear-mr"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97350" height="400" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Mitsubishi-Lancer-EvoX-Rear-MR-625x400.jpg" title="Mitsubishi-Lancer-EvoX-Rear-MR" width="625" /></a><br />
The EVO looks mean as well, but it looks mean in the sort of way a
little dog would if it was growling at you. The Golf R is the sleeper of
the bunch. It has very few badges to give it away (although its daytime
running lights help) but its two large rear exhaust let the people you
just screamed past know that this isn’t an ordinary Golf.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-review-24"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97289" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-24-625x415.jpg" title="Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-24" width="625" /></a><br />
On the road the STI and EVO will get the ‘boy-racers’ excited and the
Golf R will raise eyebrows of true car enthusiast who can pick it apart
in the crowd.<br />
<strong>Modification Potential</strong><br />
All three cars have massive modification potential. Any modification
work will generally void your warranty but if that doesn’t bother you,
all three can be tampered with relatively easily by a professional. The
STI would be the pick here as its six-speed manual gearbox is very
strong and capable of taking a lot more power. In saying that, its
engine internals have changed since the old days and can do with some
more reinforcement before too much power is pushed through.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-review-18"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97283" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-18-625x415.jpg" title="Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STi-Review-18" width="625" /></a><br />
The EVO Xs can be bought straight from dealers with more power. Check out the <a href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/75911/mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x-tmr-bathurst-edition-review/">Bathurst Edition review</a>
for more info. Of course they can also be modified by a local tuner.
The SST box is capable of taking more power but if you’re serious
about modifying your Lancer, buy a five-speed manual for peace of mind.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/mitsubishi-evo-x-brakes"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97351" height="400" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Mitsubishi-EVO-X-Brakes-625x400.jpg" title="Mitsubishi-EVO-X-Brakes" width="625" /></a><br />
You wouldn’t think many would modify their Golfs? Some time ago in
Germany I drove a ABT tuned Golf R32 that had a supercharger, on the
highway it was pulling away from our BMW M5 chase car at 200km/h. That’s
impressive.<br />
<a class="lightbox-gallery" href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/96923/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-vs-volkswagen-golf-r-vs-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/volkswagen-golf-r-review-07"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97338" height="415" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-07-625x415.jpg" title="Volkswagen-Golf-R-Review-07" width="625" /></a><br />
Modifying a Volkswagen might be more expensive in Australia than it
is in Europe but nonetheless it’s still doable and the Golf R has some
serious potential to unleash. Again, watch out for the DSG, if you’re
keen to get a lot more power, best to get a manual.<br />
<strong>Safety</strong><br />
All three vehicles offer five-star safety ratings and come with a
comprehensive suite of advanced safety features. More importantly, they
all handle so damn well that they offer such high levels of active
safety performance that many crashes will be avoided in the first place.<br />

Mitsubishi offers the best warranty, with 5-years, 130,000km new car
warranty and a 10 year, 160,000km powertrain warranty. The other two
offer only a three year warranty but it’s unlimited. Also the Subaru
requires servicing every 10,000km or six months, as oppose to yearly or
15,000km. In saying that, if you ever track your car, an oil change is a
must!<br />

speed. So, how fast are the fastest cars in the world?
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>Remember Me</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>LUKE 22:19 NLT</b><br />
19 He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he<br />
broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, "This<br />
is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me."<br />
<br />
Not only were these some of the last words of our Lord Jesus on<br />
earth, but they are the heart cry of every human: remember me.<br />
We all have a desire to be of value, to be significant, to be<br />
judged as someone important -- at least to someone.<br />
<br />
Remember me!<br />
<br />
Jesus -- in addition to everything else He is -- is also human.<br />
<br />
As Jesus faced the enormity of the task ahead of Him, He told<br />
His little band of followers: Remember me! Don't let my life<br />
and my sacrifices be in vain. Don't forget about me!<br />
<br />
Do you remember? Or, have you forgotten?<br />
<br />
Is Jesus at the forefront of your thoughts each day? Or, do you<br />
forget about Him -- most of the time.<br />
<br />
Do you walk and talk with Jesus? Or, does your life give no<br />
testimony to your belief in Him?<br />
<br />
Do you live as if Jesus did not redeem you? Are your days lived<br />
just as if Jesus never existed? Do you neglect to remember<br />
Jesus except on Sunday, or Christmas?<br />
<br />
Probably all of us have fallen short in this area. But the Lord<br />
is gracious and it is never too late to change.<br />

<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">Advent Themes</h2>I believe that all Scripture is related and all Scripture is relevant. Nevertheless, I was surprised when my November reading in the book of 1 Peter touched on all four themes of Advent—that period of time on the church calendar when many Christians prepare to celebrate the first coming of Christ while looking forward to His second coming. During Advent, we emphasize hope, peace, joy, and love, which God sent with Christ.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>HOPE.</i></b> </div>We have an inheritance reserved in heaven, a living hope through the resurrection of Christ from the dead (<a data-reference="1 Peter 1.3-5" data-version="NKJV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/1%20Peter%201.3-5" target="_blank">1 Peter 1:3-5</a>).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>PEACE.</i></b> </div>We will love life and see good days if we turn from evil and do good and if we seek peace, for the Lord watches over the righteous and hears their prayers (3:10-12).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">JOY.</i></b> </div>We have inexpressible joy even though we have trials because our faith is being tested and proven genuine. The end of this faith is the salvation of our souls (1:6-9).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>LOVE.</i></b> </div>We can love one another with a pure heart because we have been born again through the Word of God which lives and abides forever (1:22-23).<br />
Because Christ came the first time, we can live with hope, peace, joy, and love till He comes again.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">The hope we have in Jesus Christ<br />
Brings joy into our heart;<br />
And when we know the love of God,<br />
His peace He will impart. </span></b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-size: 16pt;">If you’re looking for hope, peace, joy, and love look to God.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
<b>ROMANS <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1321514835_0">8:16</span> NKJ</b><br />
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are<br />
children of God,<br />
<br />
God has a plan for guiding His children in all the questions of<br />
life.<br />
<br />
God's primary method of leading us in matters the Bible does<br />
not specifically address, (such as which job to take or which<br />
person to marry), is the inner witness, which is a knowing<br />
communicated by the Holy Spirit to our spirit. It is not a<br />
voice, but an inner knowing.<br />
<b><br />
ROMANS <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1321514835_1">2:15</span> NKJ</b><br />
15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their<br />
conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their<br />
thoughts accusing or else excusing them)<br />
<br />
Another term for the witness of the spirit is "peace."<br />
<b><br />
COLOSSIANS <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1321514835_2">3:15</span> AMPLIFIED</b><br />
15 And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ<br />
rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and<br />
settling with finality all questions that arise ....<br />
<br />
An umpire is responsible for making decisions. Our "umpire" is<br />
the inner peace, or witness in our spirit.<br />
<br />
<b>1 JOHN <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1321514835_3">5:10</span> NKJ</b><br />
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in<br />
himself....<br />
<br />
One way Scripture describes the "inner witness" is "it seemed<br />
good."<br />
<br />
This was the Scripture phrase God showed me as I sought Him<br />
concerning how to be led by the Spirit. I realized that had<br />
been the way I had determined which message God would have me<br />
preach. I would pray and seek God until, on the inside of me,<br />
it just seemed good to preach a particular message. I couldn't<br />
really explain it, but I knew it was how God was leading me in<br />
what subjects to preach.<br />
<br />
I saw in Scripture this was also the same "leading" Luke had to<br />
write down the Gospel of Luke. And also how some important<br />
decisions were made in the early days of the Church. They<br />
described it as "it seemed good."<br />
<br />
<b>LUKE 1:3 NKJ</b><br />
3 it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding<br />
of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly<br />
account, most excellent Theophilus,<br />
<br />
<b>ACTS 15:25,28 NKJ</b><br />
25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to<br />
send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,<br />
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay<br />
upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:<br />
<br />
Obviously, an immature believer could easily use this as an<br />
excuse for their behavior, saying it just "seemed good to<br />
them." But we are not talking about something seeming good to<br />
your flesh or your mind, but to your innermost being, your<br />
spirit where God dwells (if you are a believer in Jesus<br />
Christ.)<br />
<br />
And we must always remember that the Holy Spirit will never<br />
lead us to do anything that is not in line with God's written<br />
Word, the Bible. So, being familiar with God's Word is vital.<br />
<br />

And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!<br />
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Honey, I love burned biscuits.”<br />
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she’s real tired. And besides – a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!”<br />
<br />
Life is full of imperfect things…..and imperfect people. I’m not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults – and choosing to celebrate each others differences – is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.<br />
And that’s my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God.<br />
<br />
We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or siblings or friendship!<br />
“Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket – keep it in your own.”<br />

<br />
EPHESIANS <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1320213340_0">5:33</span> ESV<br />
33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and<br />
let the wife see that she respects her husband.<br />
<br />
God desires to bless your spouse through you!<br />
<br />
Jesus has sent us out as members of His spiritual Body, to<br />
minister to those around us. We are supposed to allow His love<br />
to flow through us.<br />
<br />
MATTHEW 25:40 GWN<br />
40 "The king will answer them, 'I can guarantee this truth:<br />
Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter<br />
how unimportant they seemed, you did for me.'<br />
<br />
God loves your spouse -- enough to die for them. His desire is<br />
to help them and bless them. They are not perfect. They need a<br />
lot of help. That is why God sent you, as His representative,<br />
to minister to them.<br />
<br />
To minister means to serve. God put you where you are to serve<br />
-- to be a blessing. It is a mistake to think of "Christian<br />
ministry" only as being a pastor or missionary, etc. Any time a<br />
Christian is serving (helping) people it is "Christian<br />
ministry."<br />
<br />
Your ministry is not limited to your spouse, but it certainly<br />
includes them.<br />
<br />
Whatever other ministry God may entrust to you, if you are<br />
married, God has trusted you with the ministry of being a<br />
blessing to your spouse.<br />
<br />
God has not left you to struggle in this ministry on your own.<br />
He is with you, and in you, to work through you. God will help<br />
you. But you must allow Him to do so.<br />
<br />
Building up and encouraging your spouse will also be doing<br />
yourself a favor. They will be more pleasant to live with when<br />
they are blessed, loved, and encouraged.<br />
<br />

Is the Illuminati a myth or does it truly secretly rule the world? As the number of people asking that question has grown, facts about the Order have become diluted with misconceptions and disinformation, making objective research on the subject difficult. This article attempts to shed some factual light on the Order of the Illuminati by reviewing some of the most important documents on the subject.</h4> <p><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/leadooi/" rel="attachment wp-att-932"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-932" title="leadooi" src="http://secretarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/leadooi.jpg" alt="" height="250" width="350" /></a></p> <p>The world “Illuminati” is thrown around rather freely to describe the elite group that is secretly running the world. Most have a general idea of the meaning of the term, but are confused about the concepts and the ideas relating to it. Is the Illuminati the same thing as Freemasonry? What are their goals? What are their beliefs? Why do they act in secret? Do they practice occultism? Attempting to objectively research the subject can become an arduous task as most sources end up being either dismissive disinformation pieces that deny (and even ridicule) anything related to the Illuminati or, at the other end of the spectrum, espouse ill-informed fear mongering based on rumors and misconceptions. In both cases, the researcher ends up with the same result: a distorted version of the truth.</p> <p>Considering that Secret Societies are supposed to be, by definition, secret, and that history is often rewritten by those in power, obtaining the unbiased truth about the Illuminati is a challenge. This article does not claim to “reveal” or “expose” everything that is to be known about the Illuminati; it rather attempts draw a more precise picture of the Order by citing authors who have extensively studied the subject. Whether they are, at the end of the day, critics or apologists of the Illuminati, these authors base their thoughts on credible facts. Some of the most interesting documents on the Illuminati were written by initiates of Secret Societies as they understood the philosophical and spiritual undercurrent driving the movement forward. Using these works, we will look at the origins, the methods and the impacts of the Illuminati on world history.</p> <h2>Types of Secret Societies</h2> <p>Although several groups called themselves “Illuminati” in the past, the most influential and memorable of them was the Bavarian Illuminati. Founded on May 1, 1776, the organization created by Adam Weishaupt blurred the line between “spiritual” and “political” Secret Societies. By mixing the occult sciences of Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism while conspiring to achieve precise political goals, the Illuminati became an actor on the world stage. While most Secret Societies of the time catered to rich people and their fascination with occultism, the Bavarian Illuminati actively sought to profoundly change the world.</p> <p>Secret Societies have existed throughout the course of history, each of them with different aims and with different roles in society. While the Egyptian mystery schools were part of the Egyptian institution, other groups were secret due to their subversive and conspiratorial aims. These two next quotes, written by two famous political figures, describe these opposing views on Secret Societies:</p> <blockquote><p>“Did Zanoni belong to this mystical Fraternity, who, in an earlier age, boasted of secrets of which the Philosopher’s Stone was but the least; who considered themselves the heirs of all that the Chaldeans, the Magi, the Gymnosophists, and the Platonists had taught; and who differed from all the darker Sons of Magic in the virtue of their lives, the purity of their doctrines, and their insisting, as the foundation of all wisdom, on the subjugation of the sense, and the intensity of Religious Faith?”<br />- Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, 1884 <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-1" id="fnref-929-1">1</a></sup></p> <p>“The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans.”<br />- British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876</p> </blockquote> <p>These quotes describe different realms of influence of Secret Societies. The first one refers to the spiritual side while the second describes the political side. Not all Secret Societies dwell in the spiritual and not all of them get involved in political machinations. The Bavarian Illuminati operated in both realms.</p> <blockquote><p>“Spiritual brotherhoods are pledged to Wisdom and guiding humanity towards the realm of the Infinite; Political brotherhoods [are comprised] of power-seekers who cloak their manipulative agenda in darkness. (…)</p> <p>All secret societies share certain fundamental themes. Membership is restricted to those who have an abiding interest in the subject. Thus, a spiritual group will attract people seeking more knowledge of a particular teacher or type of practice. The student is aware of the subject matter in advance and will approach the group for further instruction. More rarely, an individual may be “tapped” by the group because of a perceived affinity to its purpose.</p> <p>In a political secret society, membership is restricted to those who share an ideological affinity with the goals the group represents. At the furthest end of the political spectrum, the mission will be revolution. Such a society will go to great lengths to defend itself. (…)</p> <p>The Illuminati are perceived by many as spanning the chasm between the spiritual and the political secret society. Often credited (or blamed) for influencing the French Revolution in 1787, the Illuminati taught a doctrine of social and political liberation that hinged on the equality of man, the embrace of rationalism, and the denial of crown and church as the legitimate institutions for the regulation of social and moral values. (…) While the views of the Illuminati may sound quite advanced for the time, the European revolutions they are believed to have encouraged degenerated into brutal bloodbaths whose singular lack of moral compass was appalling.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-2" id="fnref-929-2">2</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>While some believe that Adam Weishaupt was the sole mastermind of the Illuminati and that his organization rose to glory and died in less than twelve years, most researchers initiated in occultism believe that the Bavarian Illuminati was the rare appearance of an ancient Brotherhood that could be traced back to the Knight Templars of the Middle-Ages.</p> <p>Manly P. Hall, a 33rd Degree Freemason and prolific author, described in his pamphlet “Masonic Orders of Fraternity” an “Invisible Empire” that has been silently working for centuries towards social change. It periodically became visible throughout History, through different organizations who bore different names. According to him, these groups have a great yet silent impact on society, even transforming the educational system to form future generations.</p> <blockquote><p>“The direct descent of the essential program of the Esoteric Schools was entrusted to groups already well-conditioned for the work. The guilds, trade unions, and similar protective and benevolent Societies had been internally strengthened by the introduction of a new learning. The advancement of the plan required the enlargement of the boundaries of the philosophic overstate. A World Fraternity was needed, sustained by a deep and broad program of education according to the “method”. Such a Fraternity could not immediately include all men, but it could unite the activities of certain kinds of men, regardless of their racial or religious beliefs or the nations in which they dwelt. These were the men of “towardness”, those sons of tomorrow, whose symbol was a blazing sun rising over the mountains of the east. (…)</p> <p>It was inevitable that the Orders of Fraternity should sponsor world education. (…) The program included a systematic expansion of existing institutions and the enlargement of their spheres of influence.</p> <p>Slowly, the Orders of Universal Reformation faded from public attention, and in their places appeared the Orders of World Brotherhood. Everything possible was done to prevent the transitions from being obvious. Even history was falsified to make certain sequences of activity unrecognizable. The shift of emphasis never gave the impression of abruptness, and the motion appeared as a dawning of social consciousness. The most obvious clues to the secret activity have been the prevailing silence about the origin and the impossibility of filing the lacunae in the records of seventeenth- and eighteenth- century fraternal Orders. (…)</p> <p>The Orders of Fraternity were attached by slender and almost invisible threads to the parent project. Like earlier Schools of the Mysteries, these Fraternities were not in themselves actual embodiments of the esoteric associations, but rather instruments to advance certain objectives of the divine plan. <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-3" id="fnref-929-3">3</a></sup>“</p> </blockquote> <p>Here, Hall mentions a “silence” and lack of information regarding the workings of Secret Societies during the 17th and 18th century, the epoch during which the Bavarian Illuminati was active. It is during this time period that Secret Societies took action, causing revolutions, overthrowing Monarchical and Papal powers and taking hold of the banking system. Was the Bavarian Illuminati part of the Invisible Empire described by Hall? Is it still active today? Let’s first look at Adam Weishaupt and his infamous Secret Society.</p> <h2>Adam Weishaupt, Trained by the Jesuits</h2> <p><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/adam-weishaupt/" rel="attachment wp-att-939"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-939" title="Adam weishaupt" src="http://secretarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Adam-weishaupt.jpg" alt="" height="252" width="180" /></a></p> <p>Adam Weishaupt was born in Ingolstadt, Bavaria on February 6, 1748. His father died when he was seven and his godfather, Baron Ickstatt, entrusted his early education to the most powerful group of the time: the Jesuits. Known for its subversive methods and conspiratorial tendencies, the Society of Jesus had a stronghold on Bavaria’s politics and educational system.</p> <blockquote><p>“The degree of power to which the representatives of the Society of Jesus had been able to attain in Bavaria was all but absolute. Members of the order were the confessors and preceptors of the electors; hence they had a direct influence upon the policies of government. The censorship of religion had fallen into their eager hands, to the extent that some of the parishes even were compelled to recognize their authority and power. To exterminate all Protestant influence and to render the Catholic establishment complete, they had taken possession of the instruments of public education. It was by Jesuits that the majority of the Bavarian colleges were founded, and by them they were controlled. By them also the secondary schools of the country were conducted. “<sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-4" id="fnref-929-4">4</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>The inner-workings of the Society of Jesus was quite similar to the occult Brotherhoods it was apparently working against. It functioned with degrees, initiation rites, elaborate rituals and esoteric symbols and had been suppressed countless times in several countries due to its subversive tendencies.</p> <p>In 1773, Weishaupt’s godfather used his great influence at the University of Ingolstadt to place his godson as chair of canon law. At that time, the institution was under heavy Jesuitical dominance and that particular position was traditionally held by influential Jesuits. Weishaupt’s growing embrace of Age of Enlightenment philosophies placed him at odds with the Jesuits and all kinds of political drama ensued. Despite this fact, Weishaupt learned a lot from the Jesuit’s organization and their subversive methods to obtain power. It is during this time that the idea of a Secret Soceity began to enter Weishaupt’s thoughts.</p> <blockquote><p>“Brilliant, and well trained in the conspiratorial methods of access to power, young Weishaupt decided to organize a body of conspirators, determined to free the world from the Jesuitical rule of Rome.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-5" id="fnref-929-5">5</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>While some authors believe that the Jesuits (who were suppressed by papal bull in 1773) used Weishaupt to perpetuate their rule, others state that he was seeking to overthrow their powerful hold on Bavarian. On a wider scale, he was convinced that the world would profit from the overthrow of all governmental and religious institutions in the world to replace them by a world-wide, yet secretive, committee of “initiates”. To acheive his aims, he would use Jesuit methods against the Jesuits.</p> <p>As Weishaupt pursued his studies, he also became knowledgeable in occult mysteries and Hermetism. He recognized the attractive power of this mysterious knowledge and understood that Masonic lodges would be the ideal venue to propagate his views. He therefore sought to become a Freemason, but was quickly disenchanted with the idea.</p> <blockquote><p>“His imagination having taken heat from his reflections upon the attractive power of the Eleusinian mysteries and the influence exerted by the secret cult of the Pythagoreans, it was first in Weishaupt’s thought to seek in the Masonic institutions of the day the opportunity he coveted for the propagation of his views. From this, original intention, however, he was soon diverted, in part because of the difficulty he experienced in commanding sufficient funds to gain admission to a lodge of Masons, in part because his study of such Masonic books as came into his hands persuaded him that the “mysteries” of Freemasonry were too puerile and too readily accessible to the general public to make them worthwhile”. <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-6" id="fnref-929-6">6</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>Weishaupt soon realized that, to achieve his aims, it would be necessary for him to create his own secretive group, composed of powerful individuals who would embrace his views and help him propagate them.</p> <blockquote><p>“He deemed it necessary, therefore, to launch out on independent lines. He would form a model secret organization, comprising “schools of wisdom,” concealed from the gaze of the world behind walls of seclusion and mystery, wherein those truths which the folly and egotism of the priests banned from the public chairs of education might be taught with perfect freedom to susceptible youths.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-7" id="fnref-929-7">7</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>The goal of Weishaupt’s organization was simple yet monumental: to overthrow all political and religious institutions in order to replace it with a group of Illuminati initiates. According to him <em>“universal happiness complete and rapid could be achieved by disposing of hierarchy, rank and riches. </em><em>Princes and nations will disappear without violence from the earth; the human race will become one family; the world will be the abode of reasonable men”</em>. On May 1, 1776, the Order of the Illuminati was founded.</p> <h2>The Bavarian Illuminati</h2> <p>Weishaupt’s Illuminati began humbly with only five members, but after a few years and with powerful connections, the Order became a major political force across the world. Influential deciders, rich industrials, powerful noblemen and mysterious occultists joined the Order and participated in its conspiratorial objectives. Some historians claim that the Order’s quick rise to success was due to a secret meeting between Weishaupt and a mysterious figure named Cagliostro, the most powerful occultist of the time.</p> <blockquote><p>“In Ingolsstadt, Cagliostro is believed to have met Adam Weishaupt, professor of philosophy and canon law at the university, who in 1776, had founded the sect of Illuminati. Calling themselves heirs to the Knights Templar, they declared their interest in using celestial intervention as achieved by Cagliostro for the furtherance of a program of worldwide religious reform, but one more radical than Cagliostro’s, “committed to avenging the death of the Templar’s Grand Master Molay by reducing to dust the triple crown of the popes and disposing of the last of the Capet Kings.”</p> <p>Cagliostro obliged, and described in prophetic detail the decapitation of Louis XVI, an event hardly to be envisaged at that time as anything but improbable.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-8" id="fnref-929-8">8</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>The Bavarian Illuminati was originally comprised of three primary grades: Novice, Minerval and Illuminated Minerval. Each grade was designed to achieve particular objectives while assuring complete control and dominance to the apex of the pyramid. Here’s a brief look at each grade.</p> <h3>Novice</h3> <p>Entry-level members of the Bavarian Illuminati were attracted and introduced to the Order using attractive vocabulary (the quest for wisdom and betterment) and occult lore. They were however introduced to a highly monitored and controlling hierarchy, one that resembles the system of the Jesuits. There was no mention of the Order’s political aims.</p> <blockquote><p>“Once enrolled, the instruction of each Novice was to be in the hands of his enroller, who kept well hidden from his pupil the identity of the rest of his superiors. Such statutes of the order as he was permitted to read impressed upon the mind of the Novice that the particular ends sought in his novitiate were to ameliorate and perfect his moral character, expand his principles of humanity and sociability, and solicit his interest in the laudable objects of thwarting the schemes of evil men, assisting oppressed virtue, and helping men of merit to find suitable places in the world. Having had impressed upon him the necessity of maintaining inviolable secrecy respecting the affairs of the order, the further duties of subordinating his egoistic views and interests and of according respectful and complete obedience to his superiors were next enjoined. An important part of the responsibility of the Novice consisted in the drawing-up of a detailed report (for the archives of the order), containing complete, information concerning his family and his personal career, covering such remote items as the titles of the books he possessed, the names of his personal enemies and the occasion of their enmity, his own strong and weak points of character, the dominant passions of his parents, the names of their parents and intimates, etc. Monthly reports were also required, covering the benefits the recruit had received from and the services he had rendered to the order. For the building-up of the order the Novice must undertake his share in the work of recruitment, his personal advancement to the higher grades being conditioned upon the success of such efforts. To those whom he enrolled he became in turn a superior; and thus after a novitiate presumably two years in length, the way was open for his promotion to the next higher grade.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-9" id="fnref-929-9">9</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>When a Novice proved to his superiors to be worthy of advancement, he was initiated to the grade of Minerval.</p> <h3>Minerval</h3> <div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 443px"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/minervalseal/" rel="attachment wp-att-958"><img class="size-full wp-image-958" title="minervalseal" src="http://secretarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/minervalseal.jpg" alt="" height="298" width="433" /></a><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Minerval seals of the Bavarian Illuminati. These pendants, worn around the necks of Minerval initiates, featured the Owl of Minerva . Also known as the Owl of Wisdom, this symbol is still found today in powerful places: around the White House, hidden on the dollar bill or on the insignia of the Bohemian Club.</span></strong> </div> <p>The term Minerval is derived from Minerva who was the Roman goddess of poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts, magic, and the music. She is often depicted with her sacred creature, an owl, which symbolizes her ties to wisdom. An ancient symbol of the mysteries, Minerva is prominently featured in places such as the Library of Congress and the Great Seal of California.</p> <p>The second grade of the Illuminati was one of indoctrination. The initiates were lectured on the spiritual principles of the Order but had little information regarding the true aims of Weishaupt and his close circle of administrators.</p> <blockquote><p>“The ceremony of initiation through which the Novice passed into the grade Minerval was expected to disabuse the mind of the candidate of any lingering suspicion that the order had as its supreme object the subjugation of the rich and powerful, or the, overthrow of civil and ecclesiastical government. It also pledged the candidate to be useful to humanity; to maintain a silence eternal, a fidelity inviolable, and an obedience implicit with respect to all the superiors and rules of the order; and to sacrifice all personal interests to those of the society.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-10" id="fnref-929-10">10</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>Minervals were permitted to meet some of their superiors (Illuminated Minervals) and to engage in discussions with them. This privilege alone was a great source of motivation for the new initiates.</p> <h3>Illuminated Minerval</h3> <p>Selected from among the Minerval, the Illuminated Minerval were given specific tasks to accomplish in order to prepare them to take action in the “real world”. Most of their work consisted in the study of mankind and the perfection of methods to direct it. Each Illuminated Minerval was entrusted with a small group of Minervals who were scrutinized, analyzed and lead towards specific directions. Lower-grade members of the Order therefore became test subjects for techniques that might be applied to the masses in general.</p> <blockquote><p>“To the grade Illuminated Minerval were admitted those Minervals who in the judgment of their superiors were worthy of advancement. Elaborate initiatory ceremonies fixed in the candidate’s mind the notions that the progressive purification of his life was to be expected as he worked his way upward in the order, and that the mastery of the art of directing men was to be his special pursuit as long as he remained in the new grade. To accomplish the latter, i.e., to become an expert psychologist and director of men’s consciences, he must observe and study constantly the actions, purposes, desires, faults, and virtues of the little group of Minervals who were placed under his personal direction and care. For his guidance in this difficult task a complicated mass of instructions was furnished him.</p> <p>In addition to their continued presence in the assemblies of the Minervals, the members of this grade came together once a month by themselves, to hear reports concerning their disciples, to discuss methods of accomplishing the best results in their work of direction and to solicit each other’s counsel in difficult and embarrassing cases. In these meetings the records of the assemblies of the Minervals were reviewed and rectified and afterwards transmitted to the superior officers of the order.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-11" id="fnref-929-11">11</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>From this basic structure, the Illuminati began its expansion. Everything was in place for Weishaupt to achieve an important goal: the infiltration of Freemasonry.</p> <h2>Infiltration of Freemasonry</h2> <p>In 1777, the year following the creation of the Illuminati, Weishaupt joined the Masonic lodge of Theodore of Good Counsel in Munich. Not only did he successfully propagate his views into the lodge, he also managed to get the lodge to be”virtually absorbed into the Illuminist order almost immediately”. <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-12" id="fnref-929-12">12</a></sup></p> <p>A definite alliance between the Illuminati and Freemasonry became possible in 1780 when a prominent figure by the name of Baron Adolf Franz Friederich Knigge was initiated into Weishaupt’s Order. The German diplomat’s Masonic connections and organizational skills were promptly put to use by the Order. Knigge would go on to accomplish two important tasks for the Illuminati: He revised the hierarchy of the Order, created new higher grades and allowed the full integration of Masonic lodges into the system.</p> <blockquote><p>“Two weighty consequences promptly followed as the result of Kinigge’s advent into the order. The long-sought higher grades were worked out, and an alliance between the Illuminati and Freemasonry was effected.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-13" id="fnref-929-13">13</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"> <dl class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/knigge_freiherr/" rel="attachment wp-att-965"><img class="size-full wp-image-965" title="Knigge_Freiherr" src="http://secretarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Knigge_Freiherr.jpg" alt="" height="363" width="300" /></a><strong><span style="color: #808000;">Knigge, an influential North German diplomat and occultist joined the Illuminati in 1780.

The new system he devised attracted Freemasons and other powerful figures, which gave the movement great momentum. Here’s the system devised by Knigge:</p> <p><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/illuminatigrades-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-971"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-971" title="illuminatigrades" src="http://secretarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/illuminatigrades1.jpg" alt="" height="382" width="421" /></a><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/illuminatigrades/" rel="attachment wp-att-970"><br /></a>Knigge’s kept the Order’s original grades untouched but added new grades above them. The second level of the Illuminati incorporated the grades of Freemasonry making therefore the Brotherhood simply a part of the wider Illuminist superstructure.</p> <blockquote><p>“The grade Novice (a part of the system only in a preparatory sense) was left unchanged by Knigge, save for the addition of a printed communication to be put into the hands of all new recruits, advising them that the Order of the Illuminati stands over against all other forms of contemporary Freemasonry as the one type not degenerate, and as such alone able to restore the craft to its ancient splendor. (…)</p> <p>The three symbolic grades of the second class seem to have been devised solely for the purpose of supplying an avenue whereby members of the various branches of the great Masonic family could pass to the higher grades of the new order.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-14" id="fnref-929-14">14</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>The highest grades of the Order were restricted to a select few and included powerful individuals and influential figures. The grade of Prince held within its ranks National Inspectors, Provincials, Prefects and Deans of the Priests. At the top of the pyramid were the Magus (also known as Areopagites), which comprised the supreme heads of the Order. Their identities were safely guarded and are still difficult to confirm today.</p> <p>Knigge’s strategy gave impressive results and allowed the Illuminati to become an extremely powerful movement.</p> <blockquote><p>“The new method of spreading Illuminism by means of its affiliation with Masonic lodges promptly demonstrated its worth. Largely because of the fine strategy of seeking its recruits among the officers and other influential personages in the lodges of Freemasonry, one after another of the latter in quick succession went over to the new system. New prefectures were established, new provinces organized, and Provincials began to report a steady and copious stream of new recruits. (…) Students, merchants, doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, judges, professors in gymnasia and universities, preceptors, civil officers, pastors, priests — all were generously represented among the new recruits. Distinguished names soon appeared upon the rosters of the lodges of the new system. Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick, Duke Ernst of Gotha, Duke Karl August of Saxe-Weimar, Prince August of Saxe-Gotha, Prince Carl of Hesse, Baron Dalberg, the philosopher Herder, the poet Goethe, the educationist Pestalozzi, were among the number enrolled, By the end of 1784 the leaders boasted of a total enrollment of between two and three thousand members 106. and the establishment of the order upon a solid foundation seemed to be fully assured.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-15" id="fnref-929-15">15</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>Weishaup, however, did not enjoy his Order’s success for long. Suspicions of Illuminati conspiracy against governments and religious arose across Europe. Seeing a credible threat against its power, the Bavarian government launched an edict outlawing all communities, societies and brotherhoods that existed without due authorization of the law. Furthermore, internal disagreements between Weishaupt and the higher ups of his Order lead to disputes and dissension. In the midst of it all, some members went directly to the authorities and testified against the Order, an opportunity that was not missed by the Bavarian government.</p> <blockquote><p>“Out of the mouths of its friends, the accusations which its enemies made against the order were to be substantiated. By the admissions of its leaders, the system of the Illuminati had the appearance of an organization devoted to the overthrow of religion and the state, a band of poisoners and forgers, an association of men of disgusting morals and depraved tastes.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-16" id="fnref-929-16">16</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>By 1788, through the use of aggressive legislation and criminal charges, the Bavarian Illuminati was apparently dissipated and destroyed by the government. While some see here the conclusion of the story of the Illuminati, one must not forget that the tentacles of Illuminism had the time to spread way beyond to confines of Bavaria to reach Masonic lodges across Europe. In other words, the Illuminati was never destroyed, it simply went underground. A year later, an important event would prove that Illuminism was more alive and potent then ever: the French Revolution.</p> <p><br /><ins style="display:inline-table;border:none;height:280px;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative;visibility:visible;width:336px"><ins id="aswift_1_anchor" style="display:block;border:none;height:280px;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative;visibility:visible;width:336px"></ins></ins></p> <h2>The French Revolution</h2> <p>The violent overthrow of the French Monarchy in 1789 symbolizes to many the victory of Jacobinism and Illuminism over the traditional institutions of the time. The adoption of the Declaration of Human Rights officially recorded Masonic and Illuminist values into the core of the French government. The country’s new motto “Liberté, Égalité et Fraternité” (Freedom, Equality and Brotherhood) was said to be a famous Masonic saying that was used in French lodges for centuries.</p> <div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"> <div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"> <dl id="attachment_984" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/arton4264/" rel="attachment wp-att-984"><img class="size-full wp-image-984" title="arton4264" src="http://secretarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arton4264-e1318099174795.jpg" alt="" height="597" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The official document of the Declaration of Human Rights contains several occult symbols referring to Secret Societies.

The Freemasons and Rosicrucians were still thriving, and the Illuminati appeared to be living through them. Europe was undergoing profound turmoil as a new class of people took the helms of power. Critics began to emerge, revealing to the masses the secret forces behind the changes they were witnessing.</p> <p>Leopold Hoffman, a Freemason who was convinced that the Illuminati corrupted his Brotherhood, published a series of articles in his journal entitled Wiener Zeitschrift. He claimed that the lower grades of the Illuminati had been dissolved, but the highest degrees were still active. He also added that Freemasonry was being “subjugated by Illuminism” and transformed to serve its ends. He also stated that the French Revolution was the result of years of Illuminist propaganda.</p> <p>In 1797, John Robinson, a Scottish physician, mathematician and inventor (he invented the siren) published a book entitled “Proofs of a Conspiracy against All the Religions and Governments of Europe, carried on in the Secret Meetings of the Free Masons, Illuminati, and Reading Societies”. This devout Freemason became disenchanted when he realized that his brotherhood had been infiltrated by the Illuminati. Here’s an excerpt of his book:</p> <blockquote><p>“I have found that the covert of a Mason Lodge had been employed in every country for venting and propagating sentiments in religion and politics, that could not have circulated in public without exposing the author to great danger. I found, that this impunity had gradually encouraged men of licentious principles to become more bold, and to teach doctrines subversive of all our notions of morality—of all our confidence in the moral government of the universe—of all our hopes of improvement in a future state of existence—and of all satisfaction and contentment with our present life, so long as we live in a state of civil subordination. I have been able to trace these attempts, made, through a course of fifty years, under the specious pretext of enlightening the world by the torch of philosophy, and of dispelling the clouds of civil and religious superstition which keep the nations of Europe in darkness and slavery.</p> <p>I have observed these doctrines gradually diffusing and mixing with all the different systems of Free Masonry; till, at last, AN ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN FORMED for the express purpose of ROOTING OUT ALL THE RELIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENTS, AND OVERTURNING ALL THE EXISTING GOVERNMENTS OF EUROPE. I have seen this Association exerting itself zealously and systematically, till it has become almost irresistible: And I have seen that the most active leaders in the French Revolution were members of this Association, and conducted their first movements according to its principles, and by means of its instructions and assistance, formally requested and obtained: And, lastly, I have seen that this Association still exists, still works in secret, and that not only several appearances among ourselves show that its emissaries are endeavouring to propagate their detestable doctrines, but that the Association has Lodges in Britain corresponding with the mother Lodge at Munich ever since 1784. . . The Association of which I have been- speaking is the order of ILLUMINATI, founded, in 1775 [sic], by Dr. Adam Weishaupt, professor of Canon-law in the University of Ingolstadt, and abolished in 1786 by the Elector of Bavaria, but revived immediately after, under another name, and in a different form, all over Germany. It was again detected, and seemingly broken up; but it had by this time taken so deep root that it still subsists without being detected, and has spread into all the countries of Europe” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-17" id="fnref-929-17">17</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>Augustin Barrel, a French Jesuit priest also published in 1797 a book linking the French Revolution to the Bavarian Illuminati. In “Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire du Jacobisime”, he traced back the slogan “Liberty and Equality” back to the early Templars and claimed that, in the higher degrees of the order, liberty and equality is explained not only by “war against kings and thrones” but by “war against Christ and his altars”. He also provided details pertaining to the Illuminist take-over of Freemasonry.</p> <blockquote><p>“Barruel charged that not only the lower order of Masonry were duped by Weishaupt, but also those of Weishaupt’s own Illuminati, for whom he had provided another top-secret level of direction known as the Aeopagus, a withdrawn circle of directors of the whole order, who alone knew its secret aims. To Barruel, such revolutionary leaders as La Rochefoucauld, Lafayette, and the duc d’Orléans, had become Illuminati agents and dupes of more extreme radicals such as Danton, provocateurs who sparked the Illuminati-directed rebellion. Barruel further charged that the entire French Masonic establishment had been converted to Weishaupt’s revolutionary ideas, its lodges turned into secret committees which planned bloodshed.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-18" id="fnref-929-18">18</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <h2>Propagation in America</h2> <p>Most of America’s Founding Fathers were part of Secret Societies, whether the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians or others. Some of them travelled to Europe and were well versed in the doctrines of the Illuminati.</p> <p>From 1776 to 1785 – when the Bavarian Illuminati was openly active – Benjamin Franklin was in Paris serving as the ambassador of the United States to France. During his stay, he became Grand Master of the lodge Les Neufs Soeurs which was attached with the Grand Orient of France. This Masonic organization was said to have become the French headquarters of the Bavarian Illuminati. It was particularly influential in organizing of the French support for the American Revolution and was later part of the process towards the French Revolution.</p> <p>In 1799, when German minister G.W. Snyder warned George Washington of the Illuminati plan “to overthrow all governments and religion”, Washington replied that he had heard “<em>much of the nefarious and dangerous plan and doctrines of the Illuminati</em>“. He however concluded his letter by stating: “<em>I believe notwithstanding, that none of the Lodges in this country are contaminated with the principles ascribed to the society of Illuminati</em>“.</p> <p>In another letter to Snyder, written a month later, Washington continued on the topic:</p> <blockquote><p>“It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.</p> <p>The idea that I meant to convey, was, that I did not believe that the Lodges of Free Masons in this Country had, as Societies, endeavoured to propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious principles of the latter (if they are susceptible of separation). That Individuals of them may have done it, or that the founder, or instrument employed to found, the Democratic Societies in the United States, may have had these objects; and actually had a separation of the People from their Government in view, is too evident to be questioned.”</p> </blockquote> <div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"> <dl class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 464px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/images-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-1010"><img class="size-full wp-image-1010" title="images" src="http://secretarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/images2.jpg" alt="" height="111" width="454" /></a><strong><span style="color: #808000;">Part of the original letter written by George Washington regarding the Illuminati</span></strong></dt></dl> </div> <p style="text-align: left;">Judging by this letter, George Washington was obviously well aware of the doctrines of the Illuminati And even if he did not believe that the Masonic institutions of the United States propagated its doctrines, he concedes that individuals might have undertaken that endeavour.</p> <h2>After the Bavarian Illuminati</h2> <p>Today, the term Illuminati is used to loosely describe the small group of powerful individuals who are working towards the creation of a World Government, with the issue of a single world currency and a single world religion. Although it is difficult to determine if this group descends directly from the original Bavarian Illuminati or that it even uses the term Illuminati, its tenets and methods are in perfect continuation of it. As stated above, the name that is used to describe the occult elite can change. And, ultimately, the name is irrelevant; what needs to be recognized is the underlying current that has existed for centuries.</p> <p>According the Manly. P Hall, the Bavarian Illuminati was part of what he calls the “Universal Brotherhood”, an invisible Order at the “source” of most Hermetic Secret Societies of the past. It has worked for centuries towards the transformation of mankind, guiding it through a worldwide alchemical process. The same way the alchemical Great Work seeks to turn crude metals into gold, it claims to work towards a similar metamorphosis of the world. According to Hall, the Universal Brotherhood sometimes makes itself visible, but under the guise of different names and symbols. This would mean that the Knights Templars, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, and Illuminati are temporary visible manifestations of an underlying force that is infinitely more profound and more powerful. However, human beings being what they are – weak toward greed and power-lust – these movements often become corrupted and end up conspiring against the masses for more power and material gain.</p> <blockquote><p>“Certainly there was an undercurrent of things esoteric, in the most mystical sense of the word, beneath the surface of Illuminism. In this respect, the Order followed exactly in the footsteps of the Knights Templars. The Templars returned to Europe after the Crusades, bringing with them a number of choice fragments of Oriental occult lore, some of which they had gathered from the Druses of Lebanon, and some from the disciples of Hasan Ibn-al-Sabbah, the old wizard of Mount Alamut.</p> <p>If there was a deep mystical current flowing beneath the surface of Illuminism, it is certain that Weishaupt was not the Castalian Spring. Perhaps the lilies of the Illuminati and the roses of the Rosicrucians were, by a miracle of Nature, flowing from the same stem. The old symbolism would suggest this, and it is not always wise to ignore ancient landmarks. There is only one explanation that meets the obvious and natural requirements of the known facts. The Illuminati were part of an esoteric tradition which had descended from remote antiquity and had revealed itself for a short time among the Humanists of Ingolstadt. One of the blossoms of the “sky plant” was there, but the roots were afar in better ground”. <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-19" id="fnref-929-19">19</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>Hall concludes that the Illuminati existed long before the advent of Weishaupt’s Order and that it still exists today. It was under the guise of defeat and destruction that the Illuminati realized its greatest victories.</p> <blockquote><p>“Weishaupt emerged as a faithful servant of a higher cause. Behind him moved the intricate machinery of the Secret School. As usual, they did not trust their full weight to any perishable institution. The physical history of the Bavarian Illuminati extended over a period of only twelve years. It is difficult to understand, therefore, the profound stir which this movement caused in the political life of Europe. We are forced to the realization that this Bavarian group was only one fragment of a large and composite design.</p> <p>All efforts to discover the members of the higher grades of the Illuminist Order have been unsuccessful. It has been customary, therefore, to assume that these higher grades did not exist except in the minds of Weishaupt and von Knigge. Is it not equally possible that a powerful group of men, resolved to remain entirely unknown, moved behind Weishaupt and pushed him forward as a screen for its own activities?</p> <p>The ideals of Illuminism, as they are found in the pagan Mysteries of antiquity, were old when Weishaupt was born, and it is unlikely that these long-cherished convictions perished with his Bavarian experiment. The work that was unfinished in 1785 remains unfinished in 1950. Esoteric Orders will not become extinct until the purpose which brought them into being has been fulfilled. Organizations may perish, but the Great School is indestructible”. <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-20" id="fnref-929-20">20</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"> <dl class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/greatseal/" rel="attachment wp-att-1011"><img class="size-full wp-image-1011" title="greatseal" src="http://secretarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/greatseal.jpg" alt="" height="358" width="350" /></a><strong><span style="color: #808000;">The Great Seal of the United States features the unfinished Great Pyramid of Giza, a symbol of the unfinished work of the Esoteric Orders: a New World Order.

Hall.</span></strong></dt></dl> </div> <h2>The Illuminati Today</h2> <p>If the Illuminist Agenda is still alive today, what form does it take? From the esoteric and spiritual point of view, some modern Secret Societies such as the O.T.O. (Ordo Templi Orientis) have claimed to be the heirs of Illuminism. Other researchers stated that there exists hidden Orders above the 33 “visible” degrees of Freemasonry that form the Illuminati. As they are, by definition, secret, obtaining details about these Orders is quite difficult.</p> <p>The political side of modern Illluminism is a lot more visible and its plans are obvious. An increasingly restrictive and concentrated group is being entrusted with the creation of important decisions and policies. International committees and organizations, acting above elected officials are today creating social and economic policies that are applied on a global level. This phenomenon is rather new in world history as a rather than kingdoms or nation-states, a non-elected shadow government, composed of the world’s elite, is gradually becoming the center of world power.</p> <blockquote><p>“On another political plane are ideological groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations, or participants in the World Economic Forum. Here we find leaders in politics, business, finance, education, and the media who share a belief in the value of global solutions; are in position of high authority and influence; and represent different levels of involvement with the inner circle of the group. Most members simply welcome the opportunity to associate with other well-known luminaries and are honored by being offered membership or attendance privileges. Yet, the ideology at the highest levels of such groups supports a world government – to be administered by a class of experts and planners, entrusted with running centrally organized social and political institutions. Although members may be persuaded to add their considerable voices to certain transnational political and economic policies, they may bot be as supportive (or even aware) of the long-range ambitions of the inner circle. While these groups quite often hold their meetings in secret, their membership lists are a matter of public record. It is the central agenda that is disguised.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-21" id="fnref-929-21">21</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <p>The main elite groups and councils are: the International Crisis Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, the World Economic Forum, the Brookings Institution, Chatham House, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group. The Bohemian Club is known to hold informal gatherings of the world elite punctuated with strange ceremonies and rituals. The Club’s insignia is an Owl similar to the one found on the Bavarian Illuminati’s Minerval seal.</p> <div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"> <dl class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/attachment/bohemianclub/" rel="attachment wp-att-1018"><img class="size-full wp-image-1018" title="bohemianclub" src="http://secretarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bohemianclub.jpg" alt="" height="309" width="350" /></a><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Insignia of the Bohemian Club</span></strong></dt></dl> </div> <p>If one would carefully study the members and attendees of these exclusive clubs, one would notice that they combine the most powerful politicians, CEOs and intellectuals of the time with lesser known individuals with famous names. They are descendants of powerful dynasties that rose to power by taking over vital aspects of modern economies, such as the banking system, the oil industry or mass media. They have been associated with game changing events, such as the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. This act completely modified the banking system of the United States, placing it in the hands of a few elite corporations. A proof of this is the court decision of 1982 stating that “<em>The Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA [the Federal Tort Claims Act], but are independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations</em>“.</p> <p>In his book “Bloodlines of the Illuminati”, controversial author Fritz Springmeier claims that today’s Illuminati is formed from the descendants of thirteen powerful families whose ancestors had close or distant ties to the original Bavarian Illuminati. According to Springmeier, the 13 bloodlines are: the Astors, the Bundys, the Collins, the DuPonts, the Freemans, the Kennedys, the Li, the Onassis, the Reynolds, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Russells and the Van Duyns. <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-22" id="fnref-929-22">22</a></sup>.</p> <p>There is no doubt that by virtue of the material and political resources they own, some of these families have a great deal of power in today’s world. They appear to form the core of what we call today the Illuminati. However, are they conspiring to create a New World Order? Here’s a quote from David Rockefeller’s memoirs that might answer some questions:</p> <blockquote><p>“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” <sup class="footnote"><a href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/the-order-of-the-illuminati-its-origins-its-methods-and-its-influence-on-the-world-events/#fn-929-23" id="fnref-929-23">23</a></sup></p> </blockquote> <h2>In Conclusion</h2> <p>The story of the Illuminati has been repressed or revealed, debunked or exposed, ridiculed or exaggerated countless times – all depending on the point of the authors and whether they are “apologists” or “critics”. To obtain the absolute truth about a group that was always meant to be secret is quite a challenge and one must use a great deal of judgment and discernment to differentiate the facts from the fabrications. As it is not possible to answer all of the questions relating to the Illuminati, this article simply attempted to draw a more precise picture of the Order and to present important facts relating to it.</p> <p>Today’s political atmosphere is quite different from the time of Weishaupt and the American Founding Fathers, yet there are still many similarities. While the Bavarian Illuminists purportedly denounced the political and religious oppression of the Vatican, a new kind of oppreession is taking form. As democracies merge into a single world government, as privacy and freedoms become replaced by “security” and high tech surveillance, as schools crack down on critical thinking, as mass media dumbs-down and disinforms the masses, as secret operations carry out crimes against humanity and as all major protests get violently repressed by a growing police state, it is easy to draw the conclusion that a similarly repressive system is currently being instated. Did the Illuminati truly “liberate” the Western World from the oppression of the Vatican or did it simply continue in its footsteps?</p> <blockquote><p>“The minority, the ruling class at present, has the schools and press, usually the Church as well, under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and make its tool of them.”<br />- Albert Einstein</p> </blockquote>Princehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13818535915432520209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964221213859448963.post-13949425992978275252011-10-27T12:20:00.000+03:002011-10-27T12:20:16.260+03:00THE LEARNED SCHOLAR AND THE FOOLISH MAN<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="post-info"><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><h1 style="text-align: center;">THE LEARNED SCHOLAR AND THE FOOLISH MAN</h1></div><br />
There was once a great Scholar, who taught us how to deal with rude people.<br />
One day the Scholar was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young<br />
man came up and began insulting him. “You have no right teaching others,” he<br />
shouted. “You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake.”<br />
The Scholar was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man “Tell<br />
me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to who<br />
does the gift belongs?”<br />
The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, “It<br />
would belong to me, because I bought the gift.”<br />
The Scholar smiled and said, “That is correct. And it is exactly the same<br />
with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then<br />
the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy,<br />
not me. All you have done is hurt yourself.”<br />
“If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and<br />
become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy.<br />
But when you love others, everyone is happy.”<br />
The young man listened closely to these wise words of the Scholar. “You are<br />
right, o Righteous one, “he said.”Please teach me the path of love. I wish<br />
to become your follower.”<br />
The Scholar answered kindly, “Of course. I teach anyone who truly wants to<br />
learn. Come with me.” </div>Princehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13818535915432520209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964221213859448963.post-73657218361828451122011-10-25T10:24:00.002+03:002011-10-25T10:33:51.181+03:00Love Gives<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Love Gives</span><br />
<br />
<b>JOHN <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319525629_0">3:16</span> NKJ</b><br />
16 "For God so loved the world that He gave . . . .<br />
<br />
<b>GALATIANS <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319525629_1">2:20</span> NKJ</b><br />
20 ". . . I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and<br />
gave Himself for me.<br />
<br />
<b>EPHESIANS <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319525629_2">5:25</span> NLT</b><br />
25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ<br />
loved the church. He gave up his life for her<br />
<br />
Love is only expressed through giving. If there is no giving,<br />
there is no evidence that love exists. The only proof of love<br />
is giving. Giving is the action that demonstrates love.<br />
<br />
So, the measure of your giving is the measure of your love. The<br />
more you give -- of yourself, your time, your attention, your<br />
affection, your patience, your treasure -- the more you love.<br />
This is what Jesus meant in John <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319525629_3">15:13</span>.<br />
<br />
<b>JOHN 15:13 NKJ</b><br />
13 "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's<br />
life for his friends.<br />
<br />
Why did Jesus say there was no greater love than to give your<br />
life? Because you can't give any more. That's total commitment!<br />
<br />
So, whenever you see "love" in a sentence, you may substitute<br />
"giving" and express essentially the same meaning.<br />
<br />
JOHN <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319525629_4">13:35</span> NKJ<br />
35 "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you<br />
have love for one another."<br />
<br />
By understanding that love results in giving, we see that Jesus<br />
indicated His disciples would be known for their giving. We are<br />
to be famous for our giving! This is the way Jesus indicated<br />
people would know His true followers: by their giving. (Not our<br />
fighting, our preaching, or even our correct doctrine.)<br />
<br />
We see in the early days of the church, this is exactly what<br />
happened.<br />
<br />
<b>ACTS 4:34-35 NKJ</b><br />
34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were<br />
possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the<br />
proceeds of the things that were sold,<br />
35 and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to<br />
each as anyone had need.<br />
<br />
Don't think that your gifts should only go to churches and<br />
preachers. Jesus made it clear that giving to any believer was<br />
the same as giving to Him.<br />
<br />
MATTHEW 25:40 NKJ<br />
40 "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say<br />
to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My<br />
brethren, you did it to Me.'<br />
<br />
But God has not called us to give to others just so we could<br />
end up poor, also. NO! God has promised to multiply what we<br />
give, so we will have more to give in the future.<br />
<br />
<b>LUKE <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319525629_5">6:38</span> NKJ</b><br />
38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed<br />
down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your<br />
bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be<br />
measured back to you."<br />
<br />
2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-8 NLT<br />
6 Remember this -- a farmer who plants only a few seeds will<br />
get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a<br />
generous crop.<br />
7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And<br />
don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. "For God<br />
loves a person who gives cheerfully."<br />
8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will<br />
always have everything you need and plenty left over to share<br />
with others.<br />
<br />
So, based on God's promises, we can give to others in faith,<br />
with confidence that God will continue to supply all we need.<br />
<br />
<b>EPHESIANS <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319525629_6">4:28</span> NKJ</b><br />
28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor,<br />
working with his hands what is good, that he may have something<br />
to give him who has need.<br />
<br />
(This verse gives us an idea of how giving was paramount in the<br />
thinking of early Christians.)<br />
<br />
<b>JOHN <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319525629_7">15:12</span> NKJ</b><br />
12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have<br />
loved you.<br />
<br />
If you desire to follow Jesus, love (giving) is not optional.<br />

This article analyzes the meaning of the symbolism in Brown Eyed Girls’ music video “Sixth Sense”.<br /></em></p> <p><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/lead6th.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9477 aligncenter" title="lead6th" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/lead6th.jpg" alt="" height="320" width="568" /></a></p> <p>In last year’s article <a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/musicbusiness/narsha-and-shinee-illuminati-infiltration-of-k-pop/" target="_blank">Narsha and SHINee: Illuminati Infiltration of K-Pop</a>, I looked into the symbolism of two popular K-Pop videos and how they fit in the global Illuminati agenda. Since then, Korean pop has only gotten bigger as record labels like NegaNetwork and SM Entertainment churn out new boy and girl bands at a hectic pace. These labels are almost “pop music sweatshops” as scandals have arisen regarding the mistreatment of K-Pop stars and the signing of “slave contracts”. These labels are, in turn, owned and controlled by the same elite global media corporation who own American and British labels and pop stars. In this context, is it surprising that K-Pop videos show its stars tied down and submitting to a totalitarian power?</p> <p>The video of <em>Sixth Sense</em> from the very popular girl band Brown Eyed Girls, could not better portray the elite’s control on media and entertainment. More than simply displaying Illuminati symbolism, the video presents the blueprint of how popular figures can be used to communicate a specific message using sex and music as an incentive. Each one of the group’s members are shown in a different position of submission, each representing the different ways the elite controls entertainers to serve its interests. While Myrio, Narsha, Ga-In and Jea appear to be rebelling against an authoritative police state, they are, at the end of the day, controlled opposition, serving in the elite’s Hegelian dialectic. Yes, all of these complex concepts are found in a K-Pop video intended for children and teenagers. Are they being warned or indoctrinated by the message of the video? Let’s look at the symbolism of the video and the messages it communicates to the viewers.</p> <h2>The Premise of <em>Sixth Sense</em></h2> <p>The video takes place in the context of a totalitarian police state, where media is tightly controlled and people are tightly monitored.</p> <div id="attachment_9489" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth1.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9489" title="sixth1" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth1.jpg" alt="" height="225" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The video begins showing police in riot gear and video cameras, setting it in a Big-Brotherish police state.</p></div> <p class="size-full wp-image-9490" title="sixth2">The regime is controlled by a masked figured named “the Absolute” (according to an interview with the lyricist of the group), who could easily be associated with the “masked” occult elite.</p> <div id="attachment_9525" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth14.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9525" title="sixth14" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth14.jpg" alt="" height="223" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Absolute looking over its army of riot police. Yet another music video getting young people used to the idea of an oppressive police state.</p></div> <p>There appears to be some resistance to the Absolute’s regime, namely Brown Eyed Girls. They are shown standing in defiance of the riot police and appear to be taking a stance against the oppression of the Absolute. As an ultimate gesture of defiance, the group starts singing. Do they sing about freedom and liberation? Are they singing out what is on everyone’s mind? No, not really. The listeners are treated to the same pseudo-sexual drivel all pop songs numbs our brains with. Here’s a translation of the first verse:</p> <blockquote><p>Your thirsty face starts sweating<br />And your flesh is on the tip of my sharp fingers</p> <p>The bubble in champagne<br />Explodes, good pain<br />No need to worry, love is just a game</p></blockquote> <p>What does this have to do with resistance? Not much. In fact, the song is about the exact opposite: Not resisting but giving in to the “Sixth Sense”. Are B.E.G. truly in opposition to the riot police or are they in fact on their side? The six-pointed star on the police uniforms represent the “Sixth Sense” so it would seem both sides are about the same thing.</p> <div id="attachment_9494" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth41.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9494" title="sixth4" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth41.jpg" alt="" height="248" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The riot police wears a star with its lowest point red, symbolizing the sixth sense. In occult symbolism, upside down triangles represents the vulva, the feminine energy and reproduction.</p></div> <p>What exactly is the “Sixth Sense”? Judging by the lyrics of the song and the symbolism of the video, it is sexual energy – the most basic and primal of human instincts. It is the easiest way to capture and keep the attention of an audience and is used ad-nauseam in pop music to generate interest in otherwise insipid songs. Pretty girls can make things such as a fascist police-state cool. On an esoteric level, reproductive organs are part of the base chakra, which can explain why it is associated in the video with the lowest point of the sixth-pointed star. While the five other senses send information to the brain to be processed and analyzed, the carnal impulse in humans bypasses all of that and directly taps into our primal urges. For this reason, sexuality can be (successfully) used to sell anything, including music videos.</p> <div id="attachment_9511" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth15.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9511" title="sixth15" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth15.jpg" alt="" height="238" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">At the start of the song, Ga-In immediately points towards her "upside down triangle", singing "Touch Touch". I guess that's all there need to be known about the Sixth Sense.</p></div> <p>B.E.G. is therefore singing about how great the Sixth Sense is, in front of riot police wearing a symbol representing the Sixth Sense. Are they really on the same side? It is still early to say, however the video goes on to show the backstory of each of the group’s members. In the video’s narrative, they each have been used by the Absolute in a different way, each of them representing a facet of Illuminati control in the entertainment business.</p> <p><br /><ins style="display:inline-table;border:none;height:250px;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative;visibility:visible;width:300px"><ins id="aswift_1_anchor" style="display:block;border:none;height:250px;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative;visibility:visible;width:300px"></ins></ins></p> <h2>Facets of Illuminati Control</h2> <p>During the video, each member of B.E.G. is shown in a different setting, yet in a similar situation: They are all controlled and monitored by the Absolute and forced to play a role in the advancement of its Agenda. The character played by each member represents a facet of Illuminati control in the entertainment business.</p> <div id="attachment_9495" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth10.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9495" title="sixth10" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth10.jpg" alt="" height="243" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Miryo, the rapper of the group as the "messenger".</p></div> <p>Miryo is shown standing in front of the luxurious palace of the Absolute. She is therefore “owned” by him and speaks for him (the double “S” on the palace stands for Sixth Sense). Miryo appears to be strong and confident but, upon closer look, we realized that she is actually tied down. She is forced to speak into microphones (representing the media) to transmit the message of the Absolute. This image represents the fact that artists are used as mouthpieces by the elite, who utilize their popularity and charisma to deliver messages. When Miryo signed that record contract to become a professional singer, she indeed became the property of the elite.</p> <div id="attachment_9497" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth7.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9497" title="sixth7" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth7.jpg" alt="" height="245" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Narsha representing mind control and Kitten Programming.</p></div> <p>Narsha’s character is very animalistic, sensually crawling around on four legs like a cat. She is wearing leopard-print shorts, which, as readers of this site know, represents Kitten/beta programming in mind control symbolism (see the article entitled <a title="Origins and Techniques of Monarch Mind Control" href="http://secretarcana.com/hiddenknowledge/monarch-programming-mind-control/">Origins and Techniques of Monarch Mind Control</a> for more information regarding Mind Control). She is also surrounded by animal cages, which represent the dehumanization and captivity of mind control slaves at the hands of their handlers. Actual MK slaves are said to be often held in animal cages to cause trauma. Despite her forced state, Narsha appears to enjoy being watched, which is how Beta Kittens are programmed to act.</p> <div id="attachment_9501" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth61.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9501" title="sixth6" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth61.jpg" alt="" height="226" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Narsha is shown in juxtaposition with a cat walking around the elite's palace, furthering the association with Kitten programming.</p></div> <p>In an interview, the lyricist of the group Kim Eana explains Narsha’s role:</p> <blockquote><p><em>“Narsha represents the ‘sixth sense’ in itself, and embodies the animalistic lyrics in the song (such as “The tips of my sharp nails become embedded into your skin”). Since there is a recurring ‘jungle cat’ theme, Narsha was directed to act as wildly as possibly for the video. </em><em>The lights inside the cages are flashlights, a symbol of constantly being watched and observed. What’s interesting about her character is that although she looks afraid of it, she also seems to enjoy being observed.”</em><em><br /></em></p></blockquote> <div id="attachment_9503" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth9.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9503" title="sixth9" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth9.jpg" alt="" height="244" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jea, representing sacrifice.</p></div> <p>At first glance, the scene featuring Jea appears to be somewhat poetic, with her floating in water and whatnot. On closer look, we realize that she is tied up to the piece of wood and is left there to die, in a matter vaguely similar to Christ tied up to the cross. We also realize that this is taking place in the pool of the elite’s palace. In other words, they placed her there to sacrifice her.</p> <p>Jea therefore represents the ritual sacrifices of the occult elite. More than being simple employees, public figures that are part of the Illuminati industry sometimes become unwilling parts of Illuminati rituals. The lyricist of the group confirms that</p> <blockquote><p><em>“Jea represents the image of sacrifice. She’s tied to tree branches, an idea derived from religion. Although the scene looks beautiful from afar, the viewer is able to see that Jea is being pressed down and chained.”</em><br />- Kim Eana</p></blockquote> <div id="attachment_9506" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth81.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9506" title="sixth8" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth81.jpg" alt="" height="253" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ga-in, the traitor.</p></div> <p>Ga-In’s character appears to have been beaten and humiliated by the Absolute’s regime as a result of being a traitor. She is now tied to a chair, between Masonic pillars and is being filmed by a camera. She is the “example”, showing to others what happens to those who attempt to go against the Absolute.</p> <h2>The Uprising</h2> <p>At one point, all of this singing and dancing apparently gets everyone riled up and ready to start a revolution. The members of B.E.G., who were shown above to be restrained and monitored, become aggressive and rebellious (although they never truly free themselves). The riot police feeds from this energy and become rebellious too. They are shown questioning themselves as they remove their helmets to reveal their faces. These soldiers are not simple pawns, they are young men with emotions and stuff. They turn against their ruler and rush towards him as water cannons protect the palace.</p> <p>At that point, the mask of the Absolute is shown thrown on the ground.</p> <div id="attachment_9512" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth12.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9512" title="sixth12" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth12.jpg" alt="" height="245" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The golden mask, representing the hidden, faceless elite is shown on the ground, leading the viewers to think that the revolt was a success.</p></div> <p>The scene then reverts to reality and shows again the riot police about to rush B.E.G.</p> <div id="attachment_9514" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth13.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9514" title="sixth13" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sixth13.jpg" alt="" height="245" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">There is no uprising. The riot police is right where is was.</p></div> <p>The rebellion incited by the girls was one big fantasy dreamt up by B.E.G. and the army. They are now back to the cold, hard reality: You cannot fight the Absolute.</p> <h2>Meaning of the Video</h2> <p>Under the guise of entertainment, the video of <em>Sixth Sense</em> gives its viewers a rather harsh lesson in power and politics. A basic analysis of the story, answering simple questions such as “who won the battle?” and “what’s the moral of the story?”, reveals that the elite won and that resistance is useless. In fact, there never was any actual resistance as B.E.G. were manipulated by the Absolute all along. The uprising was nothing but a mere illusion, proving to the viewers that they can be lead to believe anything they see.</p> <p>Presented as heroes of the people, B.E.G. is shown to be inciting a riot and being agents of liberation. The only thing they however truly accomplished is a mere distraction, a temporary escape to a world filled with brave and determined people, ready to fight for freedom. This is what mass media accomplishes on a daily basis: Putting in the spotlight artists who are, in appearance, rebellious and uncompromising, yet following their messages is exactly what the elite wants the masses to do. In communication-theory terms, the viewers are subjected to a Hegelian dialectic, where a thesis and anti-thesis are proposed, but engaging in either one of them ultimately advances the agenda of the elite. In other words, it is one big circular mind-screw. Here’s a little description of how it works:</p> <blockquote><p><em>“For the elite of his day, and for the monetary elite today, the Hegelian dialectic provides tools for the manipulation of society.</em></p> <p><em>To move the public from point A to point B, one need only find a spokesperson for a certain argument and position him or her as an authority. That person represents Goalpost One. Another spokesperson is positioned on the other side of the argument, to represent Goalpost Two.</em></p> <p><em>Argument A and B can then be used to manipulate a given social discussion. If one wishes, for instance, to promote Idea C, one merely needs to promote the arguments of Goalpost One (that tend to promote Idea C) more effectively than the arguments of Goalpost Two. This forces a slippage of Goalpost Two’s position. Thus both Goalpost One and Goalpost Two advance downfield toward Idea C. Eventually, Goalpost Two occupies Goalpost One’s original position. The “anti-C” argument now occupies the pro-C position. In this manner whole social conversations are shifted from, say, a debate over market freedom vs. socialism to a debate about the degree of socialism that is desirable.</em></p> <p><em>The Hegelian dialectic is a powerful technique for influencing the conversations of cultures and nations, especially if one already controls (owns) much of the important media in which the arguments take place. One can then, as the monetary elite characteristically do, emphasize one argument at the expense of the other, effectively shifting the positions of Goalposts One and Two.”</em><br />- Daily Bell, <a href="http://thedailybell.com/619/Hegelian-Dialectic" target="_blank">Hegelian Dialectic</a></p></blockquote> <p>Pop stars often play the role of “Goalpost Two” in entertainment videos, but the blatant symbolism of these videos show that they are truly working for the hidden rulers.</p> <div id="attachment_9517" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/runtheworld1.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="size-full wp-image-9517" title="runtheworld1" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/runtheworld1-e1319145736681.jpg" alt="" height="190" width="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The final scene from Beyonce's "Run the World (Girls)", saluting the riot police. While, at first, Beyonce appears to be leading a resistance or a liberation movement, this final scene tells the viewers that, regardless what they just saw, she still obeys the orders of the powers that be. Like Sixth Sense, this video also emphasizes the power of sexuality to control the masses with lyrics such as "My persuasion can build a nation/ Endless power, the love we can devour/ You'll do anything for me."</p></div> <p style="text-align: left;">Although the four members of B.E.G. were shown to be somewhat rebellious, the core of their message was, at the end, exactly what the elite wanted to communicate. The concept of <em>Sixth Sense</em> appeals to the shutting down of intellectual and cognitive functions to “surrender” to the mesmerizing effect of lust in mass media. It is during this somewhat hypnotized and slightly aroused state that messages can effectively reach the viewer’s brains with maximum effectiveness.</p> <h2 style="text-align: left;">In Conclusion</h2> <p>By analyzing the political message of <em>Sixth Sense</em>, one forgets that this video is primarily aimed at children and teenagers. While listening to the music and admiring their idols’ dancing, the viewers are exposed to a powerful lesson that sticks in the subconscious mind: Resistance is futile. Even worse, resistance does not even exist as those who appear to be resisting are just leading you towards the elite’s goal. These kinds of propaganda videos existed under dictatorships, but today they are passed around as “entertainment”. They get massive airplay on MTV and millions of hits on YouTube. In reality, nobody is forced to watch these videos, but they are nevertheless quite popular. Is there a reason why people willingly subject themselves to this kind of elite propaganda? Yes. These videos appeal to their <em>Sixth Sense …</em> and people like that.</p>Princehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13818535915432520209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964221213859448963.post-29427749740495756192011-10-25T08:29:00.000+03:002011-10-25T08:29:38.933+03:00Let The Joy Flow<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Let The Joy Flow</span></b><br />
<b><br />
NEHEMIAH 8:10b GWN</b><br />
10 Don't be sad because the joy you have in the LORD is your<br />
strength."<br />
<br />
As children of God we have joy in our spirit. But we must allow<br />
it to flow out into our minds, bodies, and circumstances.<br />
<b><br />
GALATIANS <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319519832_0">5:22</span> GWN</b><br />
22 But the spiritual nature produces love, joy, peace,<br />
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,<br />
<br />
Joy is part of the "fruit" produced by the Holy Spirit through<br />
our human spirits.<br />
<br />
But we must choose to let the joy out. We must open our mouth<br />
and release words of joy, thanking and praising God. We must<br />
choose to let the joy flow!<br />
<br />
But don't expect this to always be easy. It's when things seem<br />
the worst that you need to act on this the most.<br />
<b><br />
JOHN <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319519832_1">15:11</span> NLT</b><br />
11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with<br />
my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!<br />
<br />
Not only did Jesus tell us we should be filled with His joy,<br />
but it should overflow -- like a river of life flowing from our<br />
innermost being (John 7:38).<br />
<br />
One way to keep our focus on the Lord is to rejoice in Him. As<br />
children of God, we have joy and peace in our spirits. But our<br />
minds may be blocking the flow by keeping our focus on<br />
circumstances and our reasoning.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it's good for us to just let loose and force<br />
ourselves to really praise God and rejoice. Just go ahead and<br />
make a fool of yourself praising God. God won't mind.<br />
<br />
<b>2 SAMUEL 6:14-16,21 NLT</b><br />
14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might, wearing<br />
a priestly garment.<br />
15 So David and all the people of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319519832_2">Israel</span> brought up the Ark of<br />
the LORD with shouts of joy and the blowing of rams' horns.<br />
16 But as the Ark of the LORD entered the City of David,<br />
Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window. When<br />
she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she was<br />
filled with contempt for him.<br />
21 David retorted to Michal, "I was dancing before the LORD,<br />
who chose me above your father and all his family! He appointed<br />
me as the leader of Israel, the people of the LORD, so I<br />
celebrate before the LORD.<br />
<br />
If it was not wrong for King David, it's not wrong for us! It's<br />
okay to jump for joy!<br />
<b><br />
PHILIPPIANS 4:4 NKJ</b><br />
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!<br />
<br />
To rejoice means to re-joy or to have joy again. In the Lord,<br />
we can experience joy again and again and again!<br />
<br />
Circumstances in your life may not be perfect, but you can<br />
always rejoice in the Lord, because He is always perfect. God<br />
is perfect in goodness and greatness and love! There is no<br />
fault in Him!<br />

<br />
What many think of as love is really just a form of selfishness<br />
-- not pure love.<br />
<br />
It can be identified by thinking like this:<br />
I love you because of the way you make me feel.<br />
I love you because of what you do for me.<br />
I love you because of how you make me look.<br />
I love you because of what I can get from you.<br />
<br />
True love is instead marked by thinking like this:<br />
I love you because you are valuable and precious.<br />
I love you because I want the best for you.<br />
<br />
I am not saying that "selfish love" is evil, only that it is<br />
not pure love. It is not the highest form of love. It is<br />
immature, like a baby would love his mother. We are supposed to<br />
grow past this kind of love to experience true, pure love --<br />
which is completely unselfish. It seeks the best for the other<br />
person, not because of what they can do for you, but because of<br />
what you can do for them, because they are valuable and<br />
precious to God.<br />
<br />
<b>JOHN <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319517552_0">15:13</span> GWN</b><br />
13 The greatest love you can show is to give your life for your<br />
friends.<br />
<br />
A human giving their life to the point of death has to be<br />
completely unselfish. It cannot be motivated by any benefit<br />
they would receive. So the more unselfish love is, the greater,<br />
purer, and more mature it is.<br />
<b><br />
ROMANS 5:8 GWN</b><br />
8 Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This<br />
demonstrates God's love for us.<br />
<b><br />
SAY THIS:</b> Lord help me to grow past selfish love to show others<br />
pure love, just like You do.</div>Princehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13818535915432520209noreply@blogger.com0
