Greetings from Tyler

There is so much news signaling the economic demise of the United States that it is nearly impossible to digest all of it.  Our representatives obviously have an insatiable appetite for expensive social engineering and are deeply committed to wealth redistribution.  If the high priests of global warming get their way and the “climate change” treaty is signed in Copenhagen, then the United States will be obligated to pay a “climate debt” to all the nations of the third world.  It’s a kind of “reparations plan” which will transfer U.S. wealth to every backward backwater you never heard of.  Apparently, the U.S. must be punished for its hard earned prosperity.

A lengthening list of states is in dire economic trouble.  New York may go under by the end of this year.  California has a chronic fiscal crisis of epic proportions.  But politicians continue to fund a cornucopia of government programs, spending nonexistent suns of other people’s money.

The problem is that the United States is heading rapidly toward bankruptcy.  Some analysts say that the nation is already bankrupt, and continuing to operate in denial.  I heard one CEO of finance calmly predict the collapse of the dollar, the advent of a global currency and a “New World Order” to run the new one world system.  Does that ring any bells with anyone?  It sounds eerily like a fulfillment of Bible prophecies that coincide with the horrible events at the end of the age.

Iran says that the U.S. President must choose between Israel and Iran.  You are all aware of Iran’s forward progress on the nuclear front, and the danger that Israel faces.  Actually, the U.S. is also vulnerable to the prospect of an E.M.P. attack from any terrorist entity that might acquire the technology.  But here at home, our leaders and the leading voices in the mainstream media are at a complete loss when it comes to an appraisal of the risks, o even identifying the enemies.  The leading voices are more interested in “diversity” and political correctness than they are in preserving our national integrity.

The U.S. born Army doctor Muslim terrorist who shot up Fort Hood killing and wounding so many is characterized as a troubled individual who snapped, in the mainstream media and by the highest offices in the land.  But “diversity” is still the most important “value” we must hold.  We’re seeing young lives, brave defenders of our Republic, mowed down before the altar of diversity and political correctness.  And they say the “shooter” had deep psychological problems.  No kidding!  He believed in killing unarmed infidels in a sneak attack to further the cause of jihad.   When you consider the worldwide scope of those who “believe” exactly as he did, you might wonder whether there will be enough Zoloft to go around.  Of course they won’t be regarded as crazy, but rather, religiously devout.

The recent adoption of the Lisbon Treaty, creating a single European super state under the dull and familiar moniker of the EU still has not merited any mainstream attention.  This is something my grandfather warned would happen since the end of World War II.  My Dad made countless television programs, wrote scores of articles and letters foretelling the advent of a United States of Europe.  Well, it’s now a reality and seemingly no one has even noticed.

The people of the United States are relinquishing their freedoms and individual rights at a breakneck pace, but most are too busy with everyday cares to realize what’s happening.  Only a minority have any idea, or care.

A couple of weeks ago we forwarded the news of the Vatican working to bring Anglicans back under the Catholic umbrella.  Since then we have heard that plans to merge the Eastern Orthodox Church with the Vatican are also under discussion.  And no one is alarmed.  A new world currency is on the horizon.  Europe is now a single political entity and the Vatican is working rapidly toward bringing all “Christians” under its sway.  These are all major developments that the Church of God has expected and pointed toward since before I was born.

The Garner Ted Armstrong program this week dealt with the false concept of “Heaven” [believed and taught throughout all of mainstream Christianity] and brought 378 requests with one hundred forty six first time contacts. Thanks for all your help in the field.  We hope you’ll all have a great Sabbath.
