Why Are the Bankers and Ex-Intel Types Running For Their Lives?

Some of this information has been revealed and discussed previously, and some of it is in new context. It sounds like there are more revelations coming on Dave Hodges' radio program the first week in December. This article, I feel, puts together, very succinctly and from credible sources, the potential threats which "may" be in our future. See what you think!! Lymerick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ November 30, 2013 Dave Hodges I have been in possession of certain information, provided to me by two separate sources, and confirmed by multiple sources, which have clearly laid out a horrific set of events coming our way. This article will culminate with a description of these events. The Validity of Insider Sources In my role as a talk show host and writer, I have been approached by many individuals who claim to have “insider information” about what is going on and what is coming. According to these individuals, what is coming is very bad. Most credible, insider sources demand complete anonymity, and with the passage of the NDAA, most whistleblowers have to be more cautious as compared to the past. As a result, I have found myself in a position to try and evaluate whether to write about and broadcast some very controversial information that I am frequently given. If I cannot partially collaborate the information I am given by another source, or through circumstantial evidence, I don’t generally publish the information. However, if the source has proven to be a trusted source, I am more likely to take what I am told at face value because, sometimes, my insider information turns out to be stunningly accurate as evidenced by the Chris Stevens murder story which was spot on in which I identified a military rescue attempt which was foiled by the Obama forces. On that story, I was 5 months ahead of Glenn Beck. My information on the Aurora Batman shootings was also proven to be very accurate. Therefore, when these sources tell me what is coming, I am inclined to listen because of their past track record. Before revealing what I have been told, I am still looking for some measure of independent collaboration. I cannot think of any better places to look for independent confirmation than three individuals who are also getting the “correct” word out and these three would be Steve Quayle, Doug Hagmann and Jim Marrs. Steve Quayle Steve Quayle is at the forefront of reporting on the present threats to the American people. Steve has consistently reported on the ominous use of foreign troops which will be used to eliminate perceived dissidents with extreme prejudice. He has also spoken about the specific role that the Chinese troops will play. Last week, I was guest on the Weekend Vigilante talk show, along with Steve Quayle and he revealed the threat posed by the presence of foreign troops on American soil. Next Thursday, December 5, 2013, I will be co-hosting a special radio broadcast along with Sheila Zilinsky as we will be interviewing Steve and V the Guerrilla Economist. I only have partial knowledge of what they are going to reveal on the show, but what I do know is that the revelations that will be coming forth will be stunning. Listening details will be posted on my website early next week. Doug Hagmann Late last year, Doug Hagmann published his dire warnings which come from an inside source at DHS. Since that time, Doug has continued to present more evidence which further validates his warnings from late last year. Although there are a few differences, both Steve Quayle and Doug Hagmann are both speaking to a forceful martial law takeover in which perceived trouble makers are eliminated with extreme prejudice. Jim Marrs In a December 9, 2012 interview on The Common Sense Show, Jim Marrs discussed how approximately 400-500 top level bankers have left their positions and have gone into seclusion. Jim reminded my listening audience of how the elite have developed seed vaults which only they have access to. He was clearly alluding to the fact that some very bad events are coming and the global elite are aware of it and the rats are jumping off of the ship. The Elite Have Been Preparing In September of 2011, the evacuation of the elite to this safe hideaway was rehearsed in the DHS exercise known as Operation Mountain Guardian in which the Denver airport was shut down to commercial air travel except for specific, undesignated planes which were allowed to land in preparation for some staged catastrophe. This aforementioned event is not newsworthy because it has been reported in the mainstream. However, where this even becomes noteworthy to the public is because it is not coincidental that the CIA has relocated its major data collection facilities to underground structures in the Denver International Airport. The potential implications for residents living in or near the Washington DC Metropolitan area should be clear. The planned obsolescence for the nation’s capital is becoming increasingly apparent. Insider Sources Late last year I revealed that my insider sources informed me that the same thing is happening in various federal organizations who have recently retired from the DHS and FEMA. This fact is indisputable. I have firsthand knowledge of ex-intel officials and their families who have relocated to safety enclaves when doing so was very disruptive to their respective family’s lives. Increasingly, it is looking like some major event(s) is/are coming and persons with insider information are attempting to remove themselves from harm’s way as I have publicly noted. Although the Doug Hagmann warnings slightly differ from my sources, there are many common threads. One area that Hagmann’s source did not focus on is the dropping out of sight by ex-federal officials and prominent figures on Wall Street. However, Hagmann and Quayle’s information is stunningly similar to what I am reporting. When the dots connect as symmetrically as they are beginning to, it is important to sit up and see the pattern forming and then take appropriate action. I have subsequently decided to reveal what I know as well. The decision to air these warnings will undoubtedly encourage others to come forward. Hopefully, so many “insiders” will come forward that it will become impossible to hide what it is coming from those who are actively seeking answers. To the general public, it does not matter what they are told, for they will still believe that the government will take care of them, CNN truthfully reports the news and Santa Claus exists. As a result, these fools will never know what hit them. To those who still believe in happy ever after endings, please answer a few questions so that I can sleep better tonight. 1. Why is the Obama administration permitting and encouraging Russian and Chinese troops to participate in highly sensitive drills with extreme national security implications such as Grid EX II and RIMPAC? 2. Why is Obama purging the lion’s share of military leadership after they stood down on their orders to invade Syria and later engage in a detonation of a nuclear device in Charleston Harbor? 3. Why would the heads of America’s nuclear arsenal be fired, one for merely using a counterfeit poker chip in a private game of poker, a few short weeks after Senator Lindsay Graham stated that if we did not attack Syria a nuclear bomb would go off in Charleston Harbor? This statement by Graham came less than 24 hours after a nuclear bomb was reported missing from West Texas. 4. Isn’t the current military purge, as well as the firing of the two heads of our nuclear arsenal signaling that Obama is in command of a military that will not execute a false flag attack against the American people and subsequently impose martial law? Isn’t this why Obama has been forced to forge a bilateral agreement between FEMA and the Russian military? I have over a dozen more questions, but you get the idea. I am waiting for a believable answer that will make all of the above questions go away…….. Specially Protected Enclaves I have firsthand knowledge of official from FEMA and DHS relocating to safety enclaves in out-of-the-way hideaways with their colleagues in an attempt to hunker down and survive what is coming. These relocations commenced about a year ago. I am also aware that the recently retired officials from the NSA are doing the same. Typically, the former intelligence community refugees properties share a few commonalities as they consist of 5 to 10 acres per family, have access to underground safety zones which have/are being transformed into mini-villages of self-sustainable protection. They have access to portable air and water supplies, residents are armed to the teeth, have alternative communications that are not reliant on the grid, have years of stored food, hazmat suits and plenty of guns. The enclaves also include underground structures which are sensibly self-contained and can serve to isolate the inhabitants from the outside. Shockingly, I have two sources who are aware of the relocations who have chosen to not participate. One nonparticipant ex-official from FEMA did not seek sanctuary with these groups because he feels that several of these enclaves will be targeted for destruction by the powers that be because of the knowledge contained by the inhabitants in this case of “dead men tell no tales.” This makes sense because it would allow the elite, following the coming cataclysms, to rewrite history in their own version without any contradiction from knowledgeable individuals that know what really has gone on. This insider knowledge is a threat which would serve as an obstacle to the new truth. Personally, I think this view has a great deal of merit. Isn’t this why the Brown Shirts were killed by Hitler? All informants were clear on one point, when Americans begin to see the massive shifting of military assets accompanied by an increase in the sightings of foreign military, the fun is about to begin, so these sources say. Why Did They Run? In some cases, the re-election of Obama has seemingly brought these feelings of extreme apprehension to the forefront. ALL of my sources tell me that America is in much more danger than just a looming and catastrophic economic depression. The near future, they say, we will see food riots and extreme government suppression of civil liberties. Gun confiscations will be executed by foreign assets (i.e. the Chinese and the Russians). Very soon, if my sources are correct, nobody will be safe, not even the politicians. The NDAA allows the government to play Gestapo with the population. In fact, many of us in the alternative media have been fearful of the NDAA because we are concerned that it will be used against us if we ever uncover a story which is too sensitive, we will just be “disappeared.” However, my sources, ex-feds from FEMA and DHS, tell me that the reason that the NDAA was passed was to frighten federal would-be whistleblowers into silence. Eleven months after this revelation, the Ed Snowden case takes on a whole new meaning. John Kerry’s signing of the UN Gun Ban Treaty should be a big red flag for every American. And when you couple this with the presence of the Chinese and Russians on American soil, along with their participation in highly sensitive national defense drills, we should all be screaming “Danger Will Robinson”! My sources tell me that gun confiscation, executed with extreme prejudice, is merely one false flag event away from occurring. Gun confiscation is the primary short-term goal of the globalist forces which have hijacked our country. Americans, in large numbers, cannot be permitted to maintain private gun ownership. One of my sources states that the dark side of our government refers to private gun owners in America as the new Viet Cong. The historical reference should be obvious as American forces were not able to subdue South Vietnam because the communist farmers by day became determined foes by night and no matter how hard American forces would try, but they were not able to separate the Viet Cong from their weapon supplies. The globalists seek to avoid history repeating itself here in America. The following is an illustration of what my insider sources tell me is coming.

My friends in the United Kingdom have told me that Muslims have taken over whole communities and small towns. In some of those areas, they have driven out non-Muslims by intimidation, sometimes with violence. They have forced people to sell or abandon their businesses. They’ve taken over the local governments, law enforcement and schools. Numbers of Christian churches have been turned into mosques. Now, Lynn Small, the headmistress of Littleton Green Community School in Huntington, Staffordshire is bullying parents and students into forcing them to allow their kids to attend an Islam focused field trip called Explore Islam. The parents received a letter from Small about the field trip stating: “The workshop is at Staffordshire University and will give your child the opportunity to explore other religions. Children will be looking at religious artefacts, similar to those that would be on display in a museum. They will not be partaking in any religious practices.” “Refusal to allow your child to attend this trip will result in a Racial Discrimination note being attached to your child’s education record, which will remain on this file throughout their career.” Additionally, Small said that she would conduct a thorough and detailed investigation into any student who is absent on the day of the field trip. Any absentee had better have a valid doctor’s note for missing the field trip or they will be labeled racist for their entire school careers. Oh yeah, the parents have to pay £5.00 ($8 US) for each child going on the field trip. A number of parents are not pleased with Small’s threat of character assassination. Gillian Claridge told the Daily Mail: “How dare they threaten to brand the children racist at such a young age? It’s going to make them feel like little criminals.” “The very nature of religion is all about choice. On this occasion they were not being given any choice at all. It was a draconian move and it’s left a lot of parents fuming.” Stacy Waldron’s 8 year old daughter attends the school and she is upset over Small’s threat, saying: “I feel my child will be [seen as] racist if I don’t allow her to go. This is my choice, not hers, and she shouldn’t have to pay for it.” Parliament Member Gavin Williamson from South Staffordshire responded to Small’s edit, saying: “The idea of attaching a “racial discrimination note” to children’s education records saying it will remain on their file for the duration for their school career seems unfair, particularly when it is not the child’s decision whether or not he or she attends.” Read more at http://godfatherpolitics.com/13380/students-labeled-racist-years-dont-go-islamic-field-trip/#lLHVE4YSD1RkpHb2.99

Sorry to inform you...Thanksgiving is Not What You Think — Lies Your Teacher Told You (Video) Still to this day, our history books are nothing more than fabricated propaganda.  (INTELLIHUB) Recently Daniel Bushell reporting forRT, did an amazing piece entitled White Minority of America, giving more insight to the general public of what really took place during the colonization process of America. The report is based on a book, Lies My Teacher Told Me.   Illustration by H.J. Ford for Andrew Lang’s The Strange Story Book, 1913. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons) When I saw the piece I was amazed, it concluded everything I suspected to be a reality for years now. We have been lied to in school all along, as our history books truly are just a package of lies. After watching it I felt truly disgusted that schools to this day continue to uphold the lie. The book points out how at a great feast, much like Thanks giving, the natives were poisoned by the colonists, in a “toast to eternal friendship”. Some consider the American holocaust the worst case of genocide in American history. Over 100 million natives were reported to have been exterminated including men women and children. Some as young as 3-years old were spared as slaves. 12 minute video that will change the way you look at history and realize the lies that we live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SX136wxfHrs

Holocaust Children Condone New Holocaust

  Notice that China TV is concerned about this new holocaust, while

  United States TV supports this genocide by concealing it from caring

  eyes! Why? because the genocide-backers own the U.S. networks.

  I never thought that I would someday be thankful for Chinese and

  Russian TV journalism (CCTV and RT-TV).

  Shielded from American eyes, this new holocaust has thrived ever

  since 1948 when the fanatical Zionist terrorist Irgun waged "ethnic

  cleansing" upon the defenseless agrarian people of Palestine.

 

  Complacent Complicitous Holocaust Children: do not be offended by

  the truth of your complicity in this new holocaust. Rather, be shamed

  by this truth! Get a conscience, like that of Stephanie Fried, Norman

  Finkelstein, and many other Jews around the World. It is humanitarians

  like Norman Finkelstein who are the reason why we must never blame

  "THE Jews" for the genocide of Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan,

  etc.; rather, we can only blame some. After all, we Americans were

  taught by Zionist TV to hate Arabs, so we too, are backers of genocide.

  We too, have become Nazis.     Please click on the FULL Screen icon.

The Gettysburg Address: Iconic, But is it Biblical? Pt. 2

Constitution Mythbusters

---

The Gettysburg Address: Iconic, But is it Biblical? Pt. 2 Posted: 29 Nov 2013 08:21 AM PST [T]he law is ignored and justice is never upheld. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore, justice comes out perverted. (Habakkuk 1:4) November 19, 2013, was the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. The speech is iconic, but is it Biblical? That the Nation Might Live Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. Let’s not overlook that President Lincoln had no thought for Gettysburg’s Confederate dead, who were not at all interested in giving their lives so the corporate United States of America might endure. Moreover, a nation exists not so much by the lives of those lost in her battles, but as a result of Yahweh’s1 predetermined design for His ultimate purpose. This is true even for nations whose leaders (such as Lincoln2) are in rebellion to Yahweh: [T]he most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (Daniel 4:17) Consecration But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. Webster’s 2000 College Dictionary defines “consecrate” as “to make or declare sacred; dedicate to the service of a deity.”3 The blood of soldiers can no more consecrate the killing fields of Gettysburg than the lives lost in New York’s Twin Towers can hallow Ground Zero. Numbers 35:33 tells us that “blood it defileth the land.” After Cain killed Abel, in Genesis 4:9-10, Yahweh informed Cain that “the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.” One can only imagine the deafening uproar created by the blood shed just at Gettysburg alone. An Ungodly Battle in an Ungodly War The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. If we’re smart, we will never forget what was done at Gettysburg and vow never to repeat it. (Thus far, Americans have not proven themselves very smart.) It was an ungodly battle in an ungodly war.4 The power to declare war is a serious responsibility. Why were the framers so vague in defining the parameters of war and the conditions under which it could be declared? Article 1, Section 8, Clause 115 is the only place of significance where warfare is mentioned in the Constitution. Little wonder this power has been abused. Luther Martin (one of Maryland’s delegates to the Constitutional Convention) protested: …the congress have also a power given them to raise and support armies, without any limitation as to numbers, and without any restriction in time of peace. Thus, sir, this plan of government, instead of guarding against a standing army, that engine of arbitrary power, which has so often and so successfully been used for the subversion of freedom, has in its formation given it an express and constitutional sanction….6 John Quincy Adams predicted the consequences of America’s imperialistic military entanglements: America … has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when the conflict has been for principles to which she clings…. Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions, and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad [How much more so within her own borders?]in search of monsters to destroy.… She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors, and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force; the frontlet on her brow would no longer beam with the ineffable splendor of freedom and independence; but in its stead would soon be substituted an imperial diadem, flashing in false and tarnished luster, the murky radiance of dominion and power. She might become [and has] the dictatress of the world: she would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit.7 Because the framers provided no Biblical parameters, unbiblical warfare (including the War of Northern Aggression) has been the rule ever since. Yahweh prescribes strict rules of warfare for His people.8 These Biblical parameters determine the righteousness of a war. Untold numbers of people have been killed in wars fought in the name of Christianity, but few of these wars were Christian. If a military conflict waged in the name of Christianity is not Biblical, it is not Christian. More often than not, the departure from the Biblical rules of warfare is what is responsible for the unjustified deaths in these “holy” wars. Only conflicts waged in legitimate defense of one’s homeland are justified and godly. The South had no intentions of attacking their Northern brethren. Consequently, President Lincoln had no Biblical authority to declare war against the Southern states. On the other hand, the Southerners were justified in defending themselves against their invaders. Abraham Lincoln was wrong. The fields of Gettysburg were not consecrated by the blood shed there. Rather, they were defiled. Stay tuned for Part 3.

It is the principal Hebrew name of the God of the Bible and was inspired to appear nearly 7,000 times in the Old Testament. It was unlawfully deleted by the English translators. In obedience to the Third Commandment and the many Scriptures that charge us to proclaim, swear by, praise, extol, call upon, bless, glorify, and hold fast to His name, we have chosen to memorialize His name here in this document and in our lives.
