IF YOU think Jehovah’s Witnesses are pesky when they rap on your door to share the gospel during your child’s first birthday party or with dinner boiling over or burning on the stove,  just wait until you open your home to a gang of drug- and sex-crazed Devil worshippers trying to sell you on the advantages of giving your life and soul to Satan.

“If you haven’t met Satan’s Witnesses yet, you will – soon,” cult expert and police consultant Martin Heller told me exclusively.

“This is an aggressive group of individuals and as I have warned police departments nationwide, to simply write them off as kooks and nincompoops is the wrong thing to do.”

Agreeing with the expert are hundreds if not thousands of decent, law-abiding, right-thinking Americans who have opened their heart and home to a door buzzer or gentle knocking, only to be confronted with scenes of shrieking Satanic horror – from the decapitation of chickens, puppies and kittens to near unimaginable acts of sexual perversion … all happening right there on their doorstep.

Satan’s Witnesses are, Heller says, “extremely well versed in the arts of shock and terror.”

But police are virtually powerless to stop them because they hide behind the protections our laws provide for all religions – and like it or not, Satanism is a religion.

It is a perversion of the law, yes. But you have to remember, Heller continues, “these are perverted people.”

Frail, white-haired Mary Jane Johansen, 82, of Washington, D.C., can vouch for that. She tremblingly recalls the night Satan’s Witnesses came calling at her house.

And she says she might never recover.

“I had been sleeping but woke up when I heard glass breaking on my front porch, she said. ”I cracked open the door and asked, ‘Who’s there? What do you want? It’s late.’”

That must have been the wrong thing to say because they started cursing and laughing and taking the Lord’s name in vain. “They called me a stupid so-and-so so loud all the neighbors could hear.”

“Then they pushed the door wide open and there were at least 10 of them – men, women and children – and some of them didn’t have on a stitch of clothes. They must have been ’on’ something because they came in my house like they owned it.”

Before the night was over, the widow says, she had witnessed at least 23 acts of sexual perversion and had been asked “at least 50 times” if she was sure she didn’t want to taste human flesh or drink human blood.

And even though she didn’t see any of Satan’s Witnesses do it, she is convinced they are the culprits who drew handlebar mustaches and pinwheel eyes on companion portraits of Jesus Christ, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King – and smashed chewing gum on the pages of her Bible.

“Satan Witnesses prey on nice people like Mrs. Johansen who can’t bring themselves to break away from any solicitation, from a telephone salesman to Jehovah’s Witnesses to a schoolkid selling candy or magazines,” explains Heller, of Atlanta, Georgia.

“That’s how they can commit these atrocities without getting into trouble. Mrs. Johansen, like so many others, never told Satan’s Witnesses to go away. So what are the police going to do? In the eyes of the law, she not only condoned what they did, she invited them into her home.”

Heller points out that it’s impossible to say just how many people belong to the Satan’s Witnesses cult, although membership likely falls between 25,000 and 30,000 with “churches” in most medium-to-large cities in every state.

The cult’s leader calls himself NATASATAN, which is Satan spelled backward and forward and capitalized. Little is known about him other than the fact that he founded the cult late last year and maintains contact with followers over the Internet and shortwave radio broadcasts. There is no known photograph of NATASATAN in existence, Heller told me.

So how can you protect yourself against Satan’s Witnesses?

Learn to say: “I’ve got my own beliefs – go away,” advises Heller. “If you can’t bring yourself to say no to these people, you’ll regret it. That’s a guarantee.”

America’s divorce rate is too LOW, says expert

In Sex, book reviews, books, christian thought, divorce, friendship, gee whiz, happiness, love, male-female relations, marriage, men and women, men vs women, odd, offbeat, office talk, psychology, relationships, wild world on October 24, 2007 at 8:57 pm

SIX OF 10 American marriages will end in bitter, heartbreaking, name-calling divorce. And while some people think that’s a shameful failure rate, growing numbers of experts say it simply isn’t high enough.

“Six of 10 failed marriages? Eight of 10 or even nine of 10 are the figures to shoot for,” psychologist Barbara Leighterman declares in her controversial book, Walking the Aisle or Walking the Plank? A Thinking Person’s Guide to the Pitfalls of Marriage, which is slated for a Christmas release.

“Marriage is an anachronism,” she told me exclusively, “something that contributed to the security and happiness of our ancestors but is a leading cause of misery today.

“Way back when having a husband or wife actually improved a person’s longevity, social standing and quality of life – but these days, statistics tell us it devastates far more men, women – and yes, even children – than it helps.

“Domestic violence is America’s No. 1 killer and a billion-dollar burden on our health care system – bigger than cancer and automobile accidents combined. Reduce the number of marriages and both men and women are going to be happier, healthier and a whole lot safer.

“It really is that simple.”

Leighterman’s views are stirring a passionate national debate as newspapers and talk-radio hosts introduce them to a public that clings to the notion marriage is desirable -even as divorce rates skyrocket and polls show “marital misery” to be at an all time high.

Lining up with Leighterman are no fewer than 6,000 marriage counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, police officers, emergency room personnel and other professionals who have signed a petition calling on President George Bush to establish “National Divorce Day” to raise awareness of “the abysmal state of America’s marriages and the violence and suffering they cause.”

Leighterman acknowledges that marriage was the glue that held society together for thousands of years. All that changed in the 1960s, she said, when “the light bulb went off” and women, weary of cooking, cleaning and staying home to raise children, began to seek equality with men.

“As late as the late 1950s marriages were necessary and relatively happy because you had clear and perfectly defined divisions of labor – men’s work and women’s work – with husbands and wives each contributing to the health and well-being of the other,” explained the New York-based expert.

“Even if these marriages weren’t particularly loving, they were useful – and when something is in our self interest, we tend to stick with it through thick or thin.

“Things changed, of course, when women decided to spread their wings and demanded equal footing in the workplace. Suddenly men’s work wasn’t just for men – it was for women, too.

“That meant women didn’t need a man to bring home a paycheck because they had paychecks of their own. It also meant women didn’t have time to cook, clean and raise the kids, which are the only reasons – other than for sex and as, perhaps, a ‘TV-watching partner’ -that most men want women around.

“Even the sex issue lost its ‘oomph’ thanks to the sexual revolution and development of increasingly sophisticated and effective forms of birth control and protections against sexually-transmitted disease.”

In fact, Leighterman says the main reason most married couples stay together today “is out of some misguided guilt over the ‘right’ way to rear their children.”

She goes on to argue that people “simply ought to get used to the fact that they aren’t raising their children anyway.

“The government is raising their children from pre-school, day-care, kindergarten through college,” she noted. “If you don’t believe it, just look at the studies that show working parents interact meaningfully with their children just five minutes a day.

“That’s less time that most people spend brushing their teeth or sitting on the john.

“There isn’t a single good reason to argue for marriage,” she concluded. “If you want to be happy – if you want everyone around you to be happy – end the marriage you’ve got or resist the urge to get married in the first place.

“When you’re stretched out on your deathbed you’ll look back over your life and die with a smile on your face because you’ll know you did the right thing.”

Surgeons find man has 3 stomachs during gastric bypass operation

DOCTORS recommended gastric bypass surgery to help 476-pound Jack Gras lose weight, but when they sliced open his overly-ample belly they found they had triple the work – because he had three stomachs in there.

“No wonder I was always hungry,” Gras, 33, of Omaha, Nebraska, told me exclusively.

“I’d eat and eat and eat and never fill up, and everybody thought I was pigging out because I was a glutton.

“Now I’ve been vindicated. I’m not a slob. I’m more a freak,” he chuckles, “or at least I was until the operation.

“These days, I feel great and I’m losing weight like crazy. Of course, these days I’ve got only one stomach – and even that one’s been surgically bypassed.”

Surgeons were unprepared to remove the baker’s extra stomachs when they went in for the simple bypass they expected, “but we worked quick,” one told me, “and sliced them right out of there.”

After debating whether to leave a single stomach full-sized and intact or perform the bypass by moving the end of his esophagus closer to the beginning of his colon, they decided to “go with the original plan and shorten things up,” the surgeon who requested anonymity says.

“Mr. Gras wasn’t just fat – he was really fat,” continues the doctor. “At 476-pounds, he weighed more than his wife and two children combined.”

And that’s saying something, Gras’ wife, Millie, 36, told me, “because if you reach for the last pork chop with any of us at the table, you’re liable to get a fork in your hand.”

Gras says he’s battled the bulge all his life. As a kid of 10, he tipped the Toledos at 275 pounds – the average weight for a boy that age, according to U.S. government statistics, is a mere 100.

“I had bosoms bigger than my mom’s,” says Gras, who still claims to “sting” with the shame of it.

Growing up tubby wasn’t easy,” he continues. “All the kids teased me, and so did my Dad.

“Every time I’d leave the dinner table he’d say things like, ‘Dub-a-dub-a-dub-a – tha … tha … that’s all folks!’ like Porky Pig in those old TV cartoons.’

“But I couldn’t help eating so much – I felt like I was starving to death all the time. Now I know why. I had three stomachs to feed.”

Gras decided to do something about the flab when plopped down on the toilet one day – and the porcelain throne groaned and cracked under the strain.

“I found a surgeon on the Internet and we decided gastric surgery was right for me,” says Gras. “And the rest, as they say, is history.”

Since going under the knife in May, Gras has shed 142 pounds. He’s now down to 334 and his medical team has assured him he’ll be under 200 by next spring.

The docs gave me my stomachs in a jar of formaldehyde to keep at home,” he says. “I put them on the mantle in my living room. They’re a great conversation piece.

“Everybody who comes over and sees them for the first time says, ‘What in the world is that?’ And then I just tell them the story. They’re all in awe of it.”

Magazine from Lost Continent of Atlantis found; 48-page periodical is written in an ancient Indian dialect

A LEADING archaelogist claims to have a found a glossy, 48-page magazine that was published on the Lost Continent of Atlantis in 10,000 B.C. – thousands of years before the ancient Egyptians figured out how to scratch crude hieroglypic ‘pictographs’ on crumbly papyrus scrolls.

In letter to the prestigious Antiquities Review journal, Dr. Kenton Cromer says The Atlantan Sun Monthly was “lushly produced for an audience of highly educated readers.”

The expert went on to say that it “provides tempting clues” to suggest America’s own Indians are direct descendants” of the advanced civilization that was reeling under a series of strikes by Al Qaeda-like terrorists armed with a nightmarish array of nuclear, chemical, biological and “magnetic” weapons, “one of which appears to have disrupted all but the most primitive and violent urges of the human brain.”

And that’s not all.

Cromer, who found the near perfectly preserved periodical sealed in a bronze urn that was exposed after an unlicensed fishing trawler dragged an anchor through a coral reef off the coast of Haiti late last summer, says the magazine dated “Lunar Year 62,998″ contains a treasure trove of news items, features, hand-drawn images, cartoons and advertisements, including:

o A fact-and-figure-heavy “think piece” that laid out the pros and cons of using teleportation devices to send “history engineers” back and forth in time to alter both the future and the past to the Atlantans liking.

o A report on the most dangerous “flyway” in Atlantis – and the 264 hover-vehicle accidents that helped “Air Route 12″ lay claim to the title.

o A chilling update on terrorist activity that noted “ongoing nuclear strikes” with small but devastating warheads and “continuing viral attacks” were “breaking down infrastructure and causing panic” over wide areas of the Atlantan empire.

o An advertisement for a holographic television receiver that, instead of relying on “old-fashioned screen technology” such as we use today, projected three-dimensional images into the center of a viewer’s home theater, enabling them to “walk around” actors and entertainers and even “see them” from behind.

o A humorous drawing and short article on the magazine’s search for the Lost Continent’s fattest snakes and rats, which appear to have been pets of choice.

o An expose on hidden design flaws in the government’s new “citizen transport tubes” that, it was alleged, were “ripping the heads off children” and “other people of short stature.”

o A call for a ban on dangerous and shoddily manufactured “backyard reactors” that appear to have been in wide use by homeowners who were hoping to reduce their power bills.

o A cartoon depicting three frantic children, one of whom is holding what appears to be a light bulb and two of whom are scratching their heads – while a hooded figure in the background polishes the glistening blade of a guillotine.

o A cryptic and possibly threatening appeal for more citizens to voluntarily undergo “brain-chip surgery” to link them to the “central library” before “we have to do it for you.”

o A “health page” touting medical breakthroughs, including the development of a cure for male pattern baldness that testing had shown to be equally effective as a “morning after” abortion pill and topical treatment for eczema. Also featured: An open-toed “ortho shoe” with “water-bladder insoles” for diabetics and other people with poor peripheral circulation.

o A classifieds page selling everything from collectibles and fishing equipment to babies, boats and at least 50 different varieties of narcotic and hallucinogenic drugs and beverages.

“The magazine is not only a stunning archaeological find, it’s a warning to mankind – terrorists destroyed the greatest civilization the world has ever known, Atlantis, and they can destroy us, too,” the Washingon, D.C.-based Cromer told me exclusively after sophisticated dating techniques confirmed the magazine’s age and authenticity.

“That cautionary note aside, unlike the Atlantans, we’re still here – and as long as we are, this periodical is giving us an unprecedented glimpse not only into our past, but into our into our distant past. The possibility that Atlantis existed

Race of superhumans found in mountains of North Carolina

They look like ordinary children but have genius IQs of 155-up, says anthropologist

Copyright (c) 2007 Derek Clontz/4-Page Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

TWENTY-SIX babies born to women in the mountains of North Carolina since 2001 share an astonishing trait: Genius IQs ranging from 155 to 240, a world-renown scientist reports.

Children who:

o Learned to read, write and speak fluently no later than their third birthdays and often well before.

o Taught themselves to play complex classical passages on thrift-shop chord organs and toy pianos.

o Grasped college-level mathematics while still toddling in diapers and bumping their heads on coffee tables.

o Have keener than normal powers of intuition that enable them to see and read “trends” and, to a remarkable degree, predict how future events will unfold.

o Are masters of language, with most having taught themselves to speak several. Some of the five and six year olds created their own language for private communications among themselves.

o Are deeply religious and both understand and express sophisticated spiritual concepts, including pre-Old Testament Jewish mysticism and the “born-again” aspect of Christianity. They are keenly aware of human suffering the world over and repeatedly suggest political, social and economic solutions for global misery.

“This isn’t coincidence – this is a pattern that becomes more clearly established every time a new infant is born into the region,” Dr. Paul Martine told me exclusively.

“I could be wrong, but I would suggest to you that we are witnessing an extraordinary evolutionary leap – the emergence of super intelligence - in one of the most isolated and unlikely populations on the planet.

“It makes me think,” he continued, “of that spellbinding evolutionary moment when the Neanderthals witnessed the emergence of smarter, better-adapted, more modern humans and watched with only the dimmest understanding as the ‘new people’ – their children – left cave and clan and moved on to create a newer and more sophisticated world.

“I can’t help but think that we are the Neanderthals of the Third Millennium, and that with the birth of these children we have been given fair notice that time is passing us by.”

The Minneapolis-based anthropologist announced the discovery of the children in a letter to the prestigious journal, Human Intelligence, and immediately found himself bombarded with hundreds of telephone calls from reporters the world over, all clamoring for maps, names and exclusive interviews with any of the children involved.

To protect the privacy to the children and their families, however, Martine declines to pinpoint any location, saying only that “all the children are residents of Western North Carolina.”

For people who are unfamiliar with the area, Martine’s statement doesn’t reveal much.

In effect, he’s placing them “somewhere in the middle” of one of the most forbidding mountain ranges on Earth, a place not totally reached by airborne television signals, much less cable – and where rifle-toting men, women and children often are as inbred – and ornery – as European royalty.

Amazingly enough, Martine discovered the children “quite by chance” while investigating relationships among families living in extreme isolation.

“When I encountered the first child late last year I didn’t think that much about it,” explained Martine. “The boy’s head was slightly larger than what you might expect. And he was reading a rather sophisticated play for a child of five, Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie.

“But lots of children are early readers. And my curiosity wasn’t truly piqued until I visited another young family and discovered 3-year-old twins who had the same type of head and clearly were in the possession of a superior intelligence.

“I began to inquire about any other children in the area who might have larger than normal heads and higher than normal IQs but people didn’t have much to say at first.

“But as time went on and they began to trust me, I was invited to a small church where I was introduced to 23 additional children between the ages of three months and seven years.

“All have the larger head. And despite the difficulties we faced in gauging the intelligence of children of such tender age, we feel confident that our techniques accurately indicate IQs in the 155 to 240 range.

“Remarkably, not one of the parents measure out with an IQ over a very-average 106. So I don’t have to tell you what a leap it is to 155, 175, 200 and 240.”

As Martine continues his study of the children who have been dubbed “The Too-Smart-for-Harvard Kids” by one newspaper and “The Beverly Eggheads” by another, media are converging from all over the world.

Warned one sheriff’s deputy: “Mountain folks don’t like strangers poking into their business and they’re not above taking the law into their own hands.

“People disappear in these mountains all the time. Who knows where they wind up – and who cares?”

Wave of angel sightings sweeps U.S., evangelist’s inspiring report

HUNDREDS of eyewitnesses insist it’s true: Angels from heaven are visiting America in unprecedented numbers with messages of a brighter day to come.

That news comes from Dr. Connor Stack, the evangelist who’s collaborating on my important new book, Jesus Rising: Preparing for The Master’s Return.

Having personally investigated over 500 accounts of angel encounters since 1994 – 212 in the past 12 months alone, he told me exclusively:

“Angels are appearing to ordinary people from coast to coast with increasing frequency. What’s more, they are not simply ‘showing themselves’ to people visually, in many cases they are talking with them, helping them and counseling them.

“This is unprecedented in human history,” continued the non-denominational preacher. “But I trust the reason for these visits soon will become clear.”

One of the most spectacular encounters took place on Sept. 14, said Stack, of Sacramento, California. In that instance, a 49-year-old woman identified only as Jeannie was thrown from her 2006 Toyota Camry on a dark, deserted highway after falling asleep at the wheel and running off the road.

According to Stack, “A female angel in golden gown materialized out of thin air and comforted the woman until help arrived. The proof? A handful of golden gravel the angel had scooped from the streets of Heaven.

“Jeannie says the angel gave it to her and analysis by two indpendent laboratories shows it to be of a purity seldom found on Earth.”

What to do if you see an angel

Non believers or law enforcement agencies might well advise you to take cover or run in the presence of an angel, but at least one clergymen strongly disagrees – saying “anyone who is so blessed should stop, look and listen for a message or sign from heaven.”

“Don’t be fooled by alarmists and non-believers: Angels are glorious messengers who approach you for a reason,”the Rev. Walt Tremon, of Tampa, Florida, told me in an interview.

“If you see an angel, if you are addressed by an angel, you must accept God’s divine plan and see with open eyes and hear with open ears.

“I know it’s difficult to believe in this day and age, but God – not mankind, and certainly not the government – is still ‘running the show.’

“You might run, but you certainly can’t hide from the mysterious ways of the Lord.”

John Simmons, of the respected London-based paranormal research group, Scientists and Citizens for Understanding the Unknown, agrees – to a point.

“If you are certain you are in the presence of a benevolent being, by all means, listen to what he or she has to say,” he told me exclusively. “But if you aren’t sure, or if you have a ‘bad feeling’ about the situation, you’d be foolish to remain in such a vulnerable position. I would strongly advise you to run.”

By RAGAN DUNN/Derek Clontz Blog Correspondent

CLERGYMEN, scholars, futurists and even ancient prophets agree: The years 2008-2011 will mark the beginning of a cataclysmic end to life as we know it, paving the way for a stunningly different world at the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2012.

“If you think it’s going to be business as usual, if you think anything is going to be like it is today, you’re not only dreaming, you’re wrong,” Derek Clontz, a writer, futurist and, some have said, although he denies it, psychic, told a gathering of scholars, journalists and laymen at the second annual “Conference of the Future” in Atlanta, Georgia.

“Don’t get me wrong,” he continued. “The changes aren’t going to be all bad. But if you aren’t quick on your feet, if you don’t have faith that a Supreme Being or Guiding Force is orchestrating these changes for the benefit of mankind, you are in for a rude and perhaps terrifying shock.

“The world as we have known it is vanishing before our eyes and one thing is clear: The new world will belong to those who are wise enough and courageous enough to see that changes must come if mankind is to have even a ghost of a chance of surviving to experience the dawn of the Fourth Millennium 1,000 short years from now.”

Clontz, who hails from Charlotte, N.C. and now calls Florida’s West Coast home, addressed the group in a spellbinding keynote speech that drew from prophecies and predictions offered up by a diverse group of clergymen, scientists, futurists and even ancient prophets – one of whom scratched his vision of the changes we are facing today on a papyrus scroll 2,300 years before the birth of Christ (see Derek Clontz blog, Ancient Prophecies.

“The most dramatic and frightening of the events to come will be the dissolution of the United States,” Clontz explained.

“I am sure that Americans see just how imperiled the country is, riddled as it is with crime, corruption and even more importantly, the steady decline in morals and values that we are experiencing throughout the Western world.

“What I am not so sure of is whether they have a sense of the depth of the problem, of the extensiveness of the decay.

“I find quite the consensus among a variety of thinkers, most notably from the ranks of clergy, many of whom are convinced that global changes will be preceded by the sudden, total collapse of the U.S. – both as a country and as a force for good in the world.

“I must emphasize,” he continued, “that we aren’t “fortune-telling’- nor are we trying to read God’s mind in an attempt to determine in advance when the end will come. All we’re doing is discussing theobvious signs of change that Providence has chosen to warn us with.

“The future, as always, is formed in the present. Should you wish to ponder the future and prepare for the future, all you have to do is open your eyes and see the future.”

Here are some of the more spectacular predictions Clontz and his colleagues have made for the turn of the Millennium – and beyond. Each item is attributed to the author. A brief biographical statement to identify the author is included where appropriate.

1. The social, political and economic collapse of the United States and other world powers is likely within weeks or months after the dawning of the New Year on Jan. 1, 2009, just weeks before the president voters elect in 2008 would be expected to take his – or her – oath of office. Look for an extended period of anarchy – and all the terror and madness that anarchy entails.

Also expect to see order slowly but steadily restored under vastly different political systems than are in place today. Clontz, who makes this prediction himself, believes the “re-creation” of the U.S. will be accomplished not by federal government and troops as they exist today – but instead, by churches, militias and other intensely patriotic groups that will establish a loosely-knit collection of independent “republics” – not unlike ancient Greek city-states.

“These republics,” he noted, “quite likely will stand alone politically but cooperate in matters of trade and national defense.”

He bases his prediction on his belief that “Americans, as fiercely independent as they are, will band together in small groups to preserve what is left of their freedom and standard of living by any means. I am convinced that Americans have soured on a paternalistic national government that is beyond the scope of their reckoning and literally out of their control.

“When rebuilding this country following the anarchy and madness that follows in the wake of its collapse, those citizens who are left and who are able will resurrect America as an aggregation of small, highly democratic ‘mini-states’ where everyone will be accountable, not to an unwieldy and immoral national government, but to their communities, their neighbors and their friends.”

2. As Americans struggle to re-create themselves and their country, Europeans do the same. Bitter skirmishes among ethnic and nationalist groups competing for scant resources that remain after global collapse threatens to rage out of control. Lack of money and supplies keeps them somewhat contained. Still, millions die, either from warfare or simple deprivation, Maurice Delacourt, the French futurist, predicts.

“Europeans will manage to rebuild but you can expect to see many more ‘nations’ than you see today,” he continued. “I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see 80 to 100 almost ‘tribal” groups vying for land, resources and recognition in the aftermath of what I call the Great Collapse of Western Civilization.

“In that regard, wars and rumors of wars will likely rage for decades to come. As happened following World Wars I and II, I would think that no real stabilization will occur until the United States recovers to the point where it can offer significant economic aid and even political and constitutional guidance.

“It is quite conceivable that this ‘New Europe’ will be modeled on the smaller social and political units that are likely to make up the ‘New United States’”

Clontz seconded Delacourt’s predictions, but with a qualifier: “I believe U.S. aid to Europe, while certainly forthcoming, will be quite selective, with U.S. monies being funneled exclusively to European states that share old-fashioned American ideals of freedom and personal responsibility and are willing to embrace both Christian and politically-conservative ways of life.

“I seriously doubt we will see anything approaching current levels of tolerance and liberalism in the West.

“In fact, I believe that most Westerners, Americans in particular, will blame the collapse on liberal policies and the welfare state.”

3. The most terrifying conditions following collapse will be seen in the Middle East, where limited but still devastating nuclear war will break out “in what will appear to be a scene straight from the Book of Revelation, perhaps in the coming year but under no circumstances later than 2011,” Rev. Marc Clement, the ultra-conservative Belgian evangelist, predicts.

Again, limited resources – including short supplies of nuclear weaponry – stop the war short, but you can still expect to see several million deaths and almost incomprehensible devastation.

Ironically, after the smoke clears, the Middle East remains much as it is today, says Rev. Clement – with one astonishing exception: The diverse peoples of the region will lay down their arms and their prejudices and live together in peace.

“Many people will wring their hands and gnash their teeth thinking the war in the Middle East is the beginning of Armageddon,” said Rev. Clement.

Interjected Clontz, “In fact, it will be the end of Armageddon, which is the battle we think we have been waiting to fight but actually have been fighting since the beginning of the 20th Century.

“Armageddon is drawing to a close, and it will, in fact, be over and won shortly after the smoke of nuclear bombs clears in the Middle East. So you see, a great and glorious day is coming. And many of us will survive to see the establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth.

“But I don’t believe the Kingdom will simply descend from the Heavens with angels blowing trumpets and singing to God.

“I believe the Kingdom is something we will build with our own hands after God has washed humanity and all the Earth clean of the evils of Satan and of men.

“That cleansing is the moral and social collapse that will culminate in all-out war in the Middle East.”

4. Christ will return to Earth – if He hasn’t already (see Derek Clontz blog, Jesus Christ appears in Nigerian hospital) – to lead mankind in the reconstruction of Earth according to Divine Plan beginning on New Year’s Day or shortly thereafter in the year 2011.

This prediction is almost universally subscribed to by a staggering variety of thinkers and experts . . . even non-believers, Dr. Charlotte Mills, the English author of the forthcoming book, You Don’t Have to Believe to Believe, said.

“True believers are convinced that Christ will return in physical form to establish Heaven on Earth and they might very well be right,” she explained.

“On the other hand, I find non-believers, including many scientists and intellectuals, who will concede that even though they are agnostic or atheists, they don’t doubt that Christ – or the love of Christ – will bring dramatic changes to planet Earth just a few years hence.

“This might sound like a contradiction, but when you think about it, the position makes sense and can be scientifically defended.

“These non-believers are merely recognizing the power of Christ as it resides in the minds and hearts of so many hundreds of millions of true believers around the world.

In effect, they are recognizing that the love of Christ can accomplish miracles and fulfill Bible prophecy all on its own.”

Added Clontz, “Of course, nobody has to rely on intellectuals and scholars to justify their faith – and faith’s implicit “call to arms” to accomplish good and great deeds in the world.

“Believers know what believing is – and there can be little doubt of the great things belief will bring following the disasters that so many foresee as occurring within the next few years.”

“I don’t think there’s any question that we are living in the most exciting time in all of history and I, for one, am grateful to be here,” he continued.

“I also believe that each and every one of us is here, now, for a very special reason. In that regard, I encourage everyone to reach out and embrace our fellow humans every day. We are, after all, in this together.”

Jesus Christ appears in Nigerian hospital, cures 3 children of terminal cancers, says doctor

JESUS CHRIST appeared in a hospital and cured three children of the cancers that were eating them alive in what is believed to be the first appearance of the messiah since he walked the earth performing miracles almost 2,000 years ago – circa 33 A.D.

That’s the word from Bible scholar Dr. Victoria Peclin, who not only interviewed the children who were cured, but actually obtained photographs from a doctor who witnessed the miracle in  Abuja, Nigeria on September 14.

“To call this a ’miracle’ is an understatement,” Peclin, who has written six scholarly books on religious phenomena, including the classic Divine Intervention: Angels In Politics, told me exclusively.

“Jesus Christ – or I should say renderings and images of Jesus Christ – have been spotted in trees, clouds and the like throughout history.

“But as far as is known and can be documented, this is the first time that Christ incarnate has interacted with human beings since he rose from the dead three days after his crucifixion in 33 A.D.

“There can be no question that the visitor was, in fact, Jesus,” she added.

“By curing these children of a terminal illness he proved his identity to everyone with eyes to see and ears to hear.”

Peclin declined to name the hospital where the messiah appeared “to avoid a media onslaught.”

But she did say that the children had been diagnosed as having inoperable cancers of the blood, bone and brain respectively and were expected to die in the hospital within a matter of weeks or months.

The children, identified only as Benin, Matt and Alika, have since left the hospital, she added, “completely cured and in good health for the first time in years.”

“Nobody knows exactly when or how Christ got into the hospital, but it would seem that he simply materialized in the cancer ward because hospital staff were completely unaware of his presence,” said Peclin.

“According to the children, he ‘came out of nowhere’ and smiled in a way that made them feel secure and at ease.

“One of the kids, Benin, said he asked, ‘Who are you?’, to which Jesus responded, ‘I am the beginning and the end.’

“At that point, he took Benin’s hand and turned his eyes to Heaven. Then he looked into the boy’s eyes and said softly, “I am always with you. Remember me – and you will never come to harm.’”

Peclin said the Messiah spent a few moments with Matt and Alika as well, assuring them that they were no longer sick. As he visited with the children, a doctor on rounds started to enter the ward but held back when she realized “a miracle was occurring before my eyes.”

“The doctor said she felt a wave of calmness, peace serenity wash over her when she saw the visitor even though she should have been filled with fear to find a stranger in the room,” said Peclin.

“The doctor described her response as ‘a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual awakening’. And instead of screaming or summoning help, she merely walked to the nurses’ station and got the camera they keep for birthdays and other hospital events.

“Without saying a word she returned to the room and snapped two pictures.

“She then checked the camera to see how much film was left, When she turned back to take another picture Christ was gone.”

When the children noticed the doctor they jumped from their beds and ran to greet her, shouting, “We can go home now! We’re cured!” said Peclin.

The doctor immediately ordered a series of test that indicated the various cancers that were killing the children had not only gone into remission, they had vanished outright.

The children were held for observation for several days. They have since been given a clean bill of health and sent home to their families, the expert said.

“The Vatican has requested copies of the photographs and all the data pertaining to the case,” explained Peclin, who is writing a book on the divine visitation.

“As you might suspect, the hospital is cooperating fully. As one staff member put it, ‘If the Vatican thinks it can give us an explanation, I’m all for it.’”

JFK’s assassination is finally solved . . . Atlantis rises from the sea . . . Israel nukes Iraq . . . Baptist preacher teaches millions to walk through walls . . . and much, much more

THE DISCOVERY of 99 electrifying prophecies in an old snuff tin that survived the terror attack on the World Trade Centers has stunned researchers who say the predictions are among the boldest legendary psychic Edgar Cayce ever put on paper.

And in a remarkable addendum to the prognostications, Cayce – who died in 1945 – had the foresight to include a handy “pocket list” of remedies for illnesses that have gripped America in the wake of 9/11, including anxiety, insomnia, fatigue and, for cops and firefighters involved in the Twin Towers’ cleanup, coughs and breathing difficulties.

“These predictions will not only amaze you, they have the power to change your life,” Dr. Amanda Fulbrin – who teamed with five other Cayce experts to authenticate the handwritten, 22-page document after its discovery a box of rubble that was recovered from Ground Zero and later stored in the basement of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. – told me exclusively.

“They address an unprecedented array of themes and topics that will impact each and every one of us, from medical advancements and technological breakthroughs to space aliens, Atlantis, the pyramids, cataclysmic weather and religious events both small and large.

“They also warn of dramatic ‘earth changes’ and a polar shift that Cayce says “literally will turn the world upside down, making the south the north, and making the north the south’, not in some distant future, but later this year.”

Fulbrin says Cayce’s “snuff tin” predictions begin with amazingly accurate descriptions of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on New York and Washington and proceed through “the end of time as we have known it” in the year 2013.

Here, from the Washington, D.C.-based expert and her research team, are the rest of the Cayce prophecies:

“Sun-powered go-go clothes”, as Cayce calls them, revolutionize travel, enabling people to levitate and move about effortlessly “without the need for cars, buses, trains, airplanes and other mechanical conveyances.”

America’s Southwest vanishes into gigantic sinkhole after nuclear weapons tests conducted in secret by Navaho and Pueblo scientists go horribly awry, touching off massive earthquakes that pulverize bedrock that held the region aloft for millions of years.

A nutrient-dense, high-calorie diet that accelerates the growth of unborn babies makes it possible for women to give birth to fully developed infants in nine weeks instead of nine months, making it easier for busy working women to have, in Cayce’s words, “children and lots of them.”

Japanese scientists make a crude but working time machine and send several lab rats into the future, fueling fears they will try to send a man back in time and alter the course of World War 2. Those fears “are not unfounded,” Cayce warns.

“Evil foreigners from the middle lands,” as Cayce calls them, kill two million people in a wave of nerve-gas attacks on New York, Chicago and, inexplicably, tiny Hamlet, N.C. But their deeds are undone when angels appear in the skies above all three cities – and bring the dead back to life.

Russian scientists intercept a radio message from an extraterrestrial civilization that amazingly offers to help dolphins destroy mankind – but here, in Cayce’s words, is “the clincher”: Somebody – or some thing – radios back, taking them up on the offer.

America’s first communist president is shot and killed in the Oval Office just weeks after his inauguration in 2009, not by an assassin, but by a grandchild playing with a gun.

The mysterious Face on Mars transmits a TV signal warning “the people of earth” to expect a space alien invasion in the year 2008 – forcing officials to admit for the first time that mankind is not alone in the universe.

A Baptist preacher who can walk through walls by altering his atomic structure at will teaches millions of ordinary people a simple form of prayer that enables them to do the same.

The discovery of an ancient chant that keeps people young and vibrant is considered a godsend until Bible scholars uncover evidence to suggest that the chant is satanic – and condemns those who use it to an eternity in Hell.

The Lost Continent of Atlantis rises from the Atlantic Ocean with clear evidence that an advanced civilization once thrived on the surprisingly small, Bermuda-sized island. In addition to hundreds of geodesic-dome dwellings of the type that are still advertised in magazines like Popular Mechanics and Mother Earth News, researchers find a fleet of saucer-shaped, magnet-powered UFOs parked on what appears to be an ancient airfield.

Researchers investigating the disappearance of the Great Pyramid of Cheops stumble on a portal that leads into a parallel universe where each of us lives a life opposite of the one we live in this world. “The poor are rich. The sad are happy. The weak are powerful. The sick are healthy,” Cayce says.

The appearance of genetically superior, bulb-headed, “super-humans” in the South American rain forest “renders ordinary homo sapiens as obsolete as cave men,” says Cayce, noting that “the highly evolved savages will have IQs in the 190 range and be able to move objects just by looking at them.”

“American claims to have sent men to the moon,” says Cayce, “will be disproved as a hoax after Chinese astronauts land on the lunar surface and find no evidence to show that the United States made it there first.”

Rival drug companies simultaneously discover a cure for all cancers, touching off an ugly court battle that keeps the pills off the market while innocent patients die. The battle doesn’t end until, as Cayce puts it, “a healer-boy in the City of Brotherly Love (Philadelphia)” demonstrates that regular doses of a tea made from two lawn pests – red clover and dandelion – are equally effective, and free.

Explorers capture a bigfoot mother and her baby living with a Stone Age family in the Pacific Northwest, proving once and for all that the creatures, far from being mythical, really do roam the earth.

An old briefcase found in a Washington cemetery provides investigators with shocking new evidence about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy – Cayce calls him “the Camelot president” – altering the course of American history forever.

Stunning new photographs of the Titanic’s rusting hull suggest the “unsinkable” ocean liner didn’t strike an iceberg after all: It was torpedoed repeatedly – and possibly even bombed from the air.

The discovery of a cure for AIDS – Cayce calls it “the sex illness” – flings open the door for an explosion of illicit sex unlike anything seen since the Summer of Love in 1967.

Human “hybrids” created in the late 1980s by splicing the genes of insects and animals with those of humans reach puberty – and begin to interbreed with normal people, threatening the future of mankind.

Reincarnation is proved beyond the shadow of doubt when Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are reborn – with the ability to speak – on the same day in a Virginia hospital. Even skeptics admit something strange is happening, predicts Cayce, “as the wise and learned infants answer pointed questions about their previous lives in great detail.”

Christianity is outlawed in Asia and Europe and parts of the United States. “Christians themselves are tattooed and refused public services,” says Cayce, “including the right to buy and sell food and other property.”

Unrelenting and extreme weather threatens to destroy the United States. “A heat and storm wave beginning in spring of 2008 will not go away,” says Cayce. “The severe weather leads to social unrest and a Second Great Depression, only this one will be worse than the first.”

Continental drift accelerates, pushing North America and Europe so close together that the North Atlantic Ocean becomes little more than a river – while the Pacific Ocean almost doubles in size. California and Florida don’t make the trip, says Cayce, adding: “The United States breaks into three distinct land masses. Where is Florida? Where is California? They are gone.”

The shifting of earth’s poles turns the world upside down, “making,” in Cayce’s words, “the south the north, and making the north the south’ in the year 2010.”

Best-Price Samento - $32 - from www.myherb.netFour “men” claim to be Jesus Christ and demonstrate amazing powers – including the ability to vanish and re-appear at will – to prove it.

Angel and demon sightings reach an unprecedented historical high, and millions of Christians commit suicide rather than live in a world that they consider Satanic.

Israel launches a nuclear warhead in a limited but nightmarish skirmish with Iraq. Jerusalem takes the worst hit, with 200,000 feared dead after two Iraqi missiles loaded with poison gas strike the heart of the city.

A world leader is shot to death while visiting the Jefferson Memorial during a visit to Washington. Hundreds of individuals and groups claim credit – including the Church of Satan.

Intelligent life forms from at least two and possibly three extraterrestrial civilizations “go public” in a worldwide television newscast. Although they claim to be benevolent, says Cayce, “they are not.”

Not one but 120 deadly and disfiguring new viruses are identified as they break out of the jungles of Africa and spread unstoppably throughout the world.

Rumors that Christ has returned to Earth take a back seat to news that Nazi Madman Adolf Hitler has, in fact, risen from the dead – and is back on Earth, “spreading,” says Cayce, “hate and venom in the unholy names of Satan and the Antichrist.”

Six thousand Christians are lifted directly into Heaven – alive – in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. The number stuns both rank-and-file church members and leaders, most of whom expected millions to be saved in “the Rapture.”

What happened to Venus is anybody’s guess as it vanishes from the sky – never to be seen again.

The hole in earth’s ozone layer quadruples in size, exposing virtually the entire Southern Hemisphere to lethal levels of ultraviolet radiation and sparking the northward migration of more than two billion people.

The United Nations seeks to create a one-world government to restore order and save what’s left of world civilization as early, says Cayce, as 2011.

Christ is simultaneously spotted in the sky over small towns the world over as hundreds of millions of men, women and children rise up out of their graves, whole and happy again. Just days later, the earth opens in the vicinity of what is now Atlanta, exposing the fires of Hell and releasing the screams of the damned.

In his most sweeping prediction of all, Cayce advises mankind “to prepare for the changes to come in 2013, when time as we have known it stops, and for the righteous, eternity and perfection begin.”

Stir-fried swami’s 23-minute ordeal in red hot wok of doom

In Tokyo Attractions, amazing feats, asian cooking, gee whiz, mind over matter, mysticism, religion, stir fry, world view on October 3, 2007 at 3:16 am

BUNS-OF-STEEL Buddhist Takimo Shiyama sat hip deep in a giant,  flame-licked “wok of doom” for 23 amazing minutes to prove the human mind is stronger than any adversity – including the boiling, 212-degree water he was stewing in.

And far from complaining about the heat, the 54-year-old monk told silly jokes between his prayers and meditations, off-handedly boiled shrimp that he occasionally flicked to passersby and insisted throughout the ordeal that far from being hot, he was cold.

In fact, at one point, Takimo begged attendants to stoke the fire higher to, as he put it, “take the chill off.”

“It’s not hot, it’s cold – the boiling water is cold,” the monk told me exclusively in a telephone interview following the demonstration in Tokyo. “Hot water is cold water. Even the little children know this simple truth.

“Only the adults make the distinctions. Avoid distinctions. Then you will see that cold water cannot hurt you because it is hot – and hot water cannot hurt you because it is cold.

“Distinguish nothing. Be one and in union with all things.”

If you think Takimo’s offhanded explanation sounds like mystical gibberish, you’re not alone.

Of the estimated 10,000 people who traveled to an outdoor shopping plaza to witness the feat, only a handful claimed to have the slightest idea what he was talking about, sources on the ground in Tokyo confirmed.

“But we don’t have to understand his speech to appreciate the results of his spiritual and mental discipline,” research psychologist Dr. Akiro Nakamura told me a few days after the show.

“He should be dead or at the very least hospitalized in critical condition with over half his body seared with third and fourth degree burns.

“But he’s not dead. He’s not injured. He’s healthy and exhibits no adverse affect. Had I not seen this with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed it. But I did see it and I do believe it.

“It truly is amazing what these monks can accomplish just by saying … ‘I think I can … I think I can … I think I can … ‘ like The Little Engine That Could from the children’s story.”

From our distant past: eerie prophecies recorded on papyrus scroll – 2,300 years before the birth of Christ

AN ANONYMOUS Egyptian prophet thinking and writing 4,300 years ago foresaw apocalyptic changes for the year 2008 – including wildly erratic and deadly weather, an acceleration of continental drift, polar shift … and the birth of a wonderful new world in the aftermath.

“It’s an astonishing prophecy coming as it did so many thousands of years ago,” said futurist Dr. Lawrence Gray, noting that the the scroll was discovered by an Egyptian schoolboy in 1991 but has only recently been made public.

“Portions of the scroll are illegible or have been destroyed,” the London-based expert told me exclusively, “but the portions that remain give us a clear picture of what the author foresaw.

“There are references to a dramatic change in the positions of continents after a polar shift ‘makes south, north, and north, south’ sometime in 2008.

“References to the ‘New Land’ becoming the ‘New Lands’ suggest that the North American land mass is in danger of cracking up and drifting apart.

“There are references, too, to severe and lethal weather unlike anything experienced before ‘by man or beast.’

“On a higher note, the scrolls speak of a world filled with love and reason in the aftermath of the changes. The question, of course, is did this man – or woman – really see our future, or is this merely the work of someone with an overactive imagination?

“Only time will tell, of course, but at least we don’t have long to wait.

“Everything in the scrolls is predicted to occur just months from now, in 2008.”

Lyme still a threat in chilly fall weather, warn experts

SOLANCO NEWS – Most people know that Lyme disease travels via the deer tick. What many do not know is the disease is found in bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi that is found in the tick’s digestive system.

Because deer ticks thrive in warmer weather, says the American Lyme Disease Foundation, the longer the temperature stays above 30 F, the greater the risk for deer tick contact and Lyme disease. Full story: Lyme disease a cool-weather threat, too

School official lost summer to undiagnosed Lyme

About a week into July, a quarter-sized, bull’s-eye red bump surrounded by a bruise-like rash appeared on Erin Francescone’s lower back.

She was suffering severe pain in her joints. She decided she must have been bitten by an insect, “most likely a spider,” she said – but nothing could have been further from the truth … Full story: School principal sick for a month before the truth came out: She had Lyme

Federal expert says it’s time to take a closer look at Lyme disease – and we say, “Where have the feds been for the past 30 years?”

“The time is right to take a closer look,” said Dennis Dixon of The National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Some patient advocates would argue a closer look is long overdue. A new study shows cases have doubled since 1991 … Full story: Federal expert says it’s time to take a closer look at Lyme disease

Chemtrail and gov’t link to Morgellons and Lyme? Conspiracy theorist says, “Yes”

Since 2002 when the illness Morgellons syndrome was first brought to public attention, this strange phenomenon has been making its way across the Internet.

Many people have questioned whether or not the chemical trails being sprayed in our skies by way of the contrails left by jets have included Morgellons.

And if so, one must wonder if Morgellons, like so many other chronic illnesses that the American population suffers from (such as Lyme Disease), was not created as a biological or chemical weapon in which to gradually attack the immune systems of the people on this planet.

Read how U.S. health and medical establishment fails Lyme patients

WASHINGTON – Helene Jorgensen relaxes on a couch, stroking the dogs that flank her, and making the effort that is required to summon up memories from the 1990s when she moved here from Denmark to get her PhD in economics and later, to study wildlife conservation.

Walnut and Rufus are Jorgensen’s constant companions these days as she manages both a serious chronic illness and the ordeal of dealing with the American for-profit health system.

“I was in my mid-30s when I was starting to feel sick with asthma, continuous knee problems (for which she underwent surgery) and severe memory loss.

“In the spring of 2003, I went to a conference in Montana to present a paper on the economics of wolf management and … was bitten by a tick.”

After several days of near total incapacitation, she returned home where her doctor diagnosed the tick-borne infection Lyme disease and prescribed a 10-day course of tetracycline.

It didn’t help. Soon, she was suffering from fever, headaches and joint, pain and was referred to an infectious disease specialist who diagnosed chronic neurological Lyme disease — strongly suggesting previous exposures. Full story: How U.S. medical system fails Lyme patients
