According to Coin Update News “…the unstated agenda of these hearings, as I understand it, is to push for the US government to eventually nationalize (confiscate) all assets in private Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and 401K plans!

The US government is desperate to get its hands on private assets to help cover soaring budget deficits and debts, and this is simply the largest and easiest piggy bank that could be seized. The Investment Company Institute estimates that at the end of 2008 that there were $3.613 trillion of assets in IRAs and $2.350 trillion of assets in 401K plans.

No, Ron Wyden wants Oregon to be exempt

Americans For Limited Government’s President Bill Wilson says “Senator Wyden, instead of joining other states like Virginia in fighting the individual mandate, is fighting for his own personal political interests to let Oregon off the hook. All Americans should be protected from such government overreaches, not just Oregon.”

Is Ron Wyden running for political office? You bet he is, but can he have his cake and eat it too?

How do you battle the darkness? With the LIGHT! I watched in disbelief a few weeks ago as they announced the Muslims would be building a $110 million mosque just a few blocks from where their Muslim brothers perpetrated the greatest act of terror on US soil in history, deliberately flying planes into the World Trade Center towers, knocking them down and killing 3,000 innocent souls in the process. The gall, the arrogance, the audacity of this false religion of violence, hate, and death to build their temple to satan just blocks from that hallowed ground.

Islam is a 1400-year-old lie from hell, dreamed up by Mohammed after being visited by angels of satan in his sleep. “Allah” is an imaginary god that is actually a black rock and is NOT the God of the Bible! Islam has advanced this false religion for 1400 years through violence, hatred, and death. The greatest difference between Christianity and Islam is that you are born into Islam, or threatened with death to become a Muslim. You become a Christian by making the free-will choice to accept Jesus Christ by faith!

After I got over being angry, I got on my knees in prayer. I knew God was calling me to do something, but what? After many hours, I realized it would not be another “big event,” that just hours after it was over people would be back to their lives and nothing would have been accomplished. We have all been to and seen “big events,” and nothing ever changes. No, this had to be more than an event, but an ongoing mission to combat this new evil being constructed near ground zero which would bring people the Truth of God’s Word and the love and hope of Jesus Christ.

I am excited to announce today the birth of the “9-11 Christian Center at Ground Zero” on Sunday, September 5th. The mission is simple. Have a place at ground zero where people can come to hear the real uncompromised Truth right from God’s Word, and find the only true hope there is, faith in Jesus Christ!!! We will combat the lies of this world and Islam with the TRUTH. We will combat the hatred of this world and Islam with LOVE. We will combat the violence of this world and Islam with PEACE. Finally, we will combat eternal death this world and Islam brings with LIFE EVERLASTING!!!

The new internet site for the 9-11 Christian Center at Ground Zero is up, and will be updated regularly to inform people about the Center as well as the truth about what Islam really believes and teaches, along with news from here in the United States and around the world how this “religion of peace” really operates. You can visit the new website at: www.911christiancenter.com

The new 9-11 Christian Center at Ground Zero will unfold in two phases.

Phase one. We will hold services every Sunday at 11am at the Embassy Suites New York, located at 102 North End Avenue (less than a block from ground zero), in their ballroom starting Sunday, September 5th through Sunday, December 26th. Phase two. As of January 1st, we will move into a permanent facility within a block of ground zero. There will be services 7 days a week plus a “9-11 Memorial Prayer Room” for the many visitors who come to ground zero each day to stop in and pray.

During phase one, I have made the commitment to travel from Florida to NYC each weekend to personally conduct the Sunday services. After January 1st, I will oversee the operations of the 9-11 Christian Center at Ground Zero and we will have pastors and evangelists in the NYC area conducting the daily services.

I AM STARTING NOT ANOTHER CHURCH! Our services will be like the old time evangelistic meetings conducted by DL Moody, Billy Sunday, and others who weren’t interested in seeker/purpose driven/emerging church marketing strategies to fill buildings with warm bodies, but in simply preaching the uncompromised Truth of the Bible and leading the lost to faith in Jesus Christ!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller

Imagine: The greatest difference between Christianity and Islam is that you are born into Islam, or threatened with death to become a Muslim. You become a Christian by making the free-will choice to accept Jesus Christ by faith!

The U.S. Geological Survey recognizes 17 different rare earths, materials with science-fictionesque names like lanthanum and gadolinium. They are used in everything: glass polishing and ceramics, automotive catalytic converters, computer monitors, lighting, televisions and pharmaceuticals.

Without these elements much of the modern economy would shut down.

Bruce Krasting in his article at Zero Hedge has an excellent chart of the production history of the world in rare earths.

The man who inspired the movie “Lord of War,” in which Nicolas Cage plays a Russian-American arms dealer who plies his trade all over Africa, is coming to America. The U.S. finally won the right to extradite Viktor Bout (pronounced Boot) from Thailand to face charges of selling war material to FARC, a Colombian terrorist organization.

Bout knows much about the arms trade and maybe even 9/11. Forbes magazine says, “The mere thought that he could be responding to prosecutors’ questions in New York apparently sends shivers down the spines of some high-ranking Russian government officials.”

Bout was allowed by the PTB in Russia to make millions of dollars, so the thinking is he knows a lot of Russian secrets that the U.S. are anxious to hear. JR Nyquist thinks the Communists are still in control in Russia and Bout could shed light on “The Party.”

My thanks to Instapundit for pointing out this interesting post at First Things by David P. Goldman, A 1600th Anniversary Question: Why Did Rome Fall?

In the article when the barbarians sacked Rome they destroyed old symbols of the culture, public buildings and imperial mausoleums in particular, and I would suggest built their own. Shades of the Mosque that is planned for Ground Zero. But, how did a “…large Germanic group (that) probably numbered a few tens of thousands…” prevail “…while regions like Italy and Roman Africa had populations of several millions,” supporting a standing army of 600,000 during the 4th century. The answer seems to be that the slaves in Rome fled to join the ranks of the barbarians.

Now I ask with at least 12 million undocumented illegal aliens in the country, how do we know who is for us and who is against when the chips are down? We already know that 10 to 20% of the mosques in this country preach against us and for Sharia. How many of the undocumented are a fifth column within this country waiting for a signal from the barbarians?
