New Lindsey Williams 2-Hour Special

Deep Earth Bunker Radio Broadcast 9/19/2012

Lindsey Williams Returns to Deep Earth Bunker, taking callers for 2 hrs as well as going over the headlines.


Listen to the broadcast...

Pastor Williams will discuss the end of the petro-dollar and the initiation of the Chinese petro-yuan on the 6th September 2012.

This means that any country in the world can buy, sell and trade crude oil in Chinese yuan instead of the US dollar.

On the 7th September 2012 Russia announced it will supply China with all the oil it needed and will sell it in a currency other than the US dollar.

*Also that the Fed are buying $40Bn of mortgaged backed securities every month – indefinitely.

*They plan to own every piece of mortgaged real estate in the US.

*They will use the securities in the derivatives market and $40Bn will become $1Tn.

*The same is happening in Europe.

This will be a global collapse of biblical proportions, with the goal being a global government with global electronic currency

Obama Plans $450 Million Cash for Egypt

U.S. Move to Give Egypt $450 Million in Aid Meets Resistance
CP note: First off, our government is totally broke and we are pledging $1 billion in assistance to Egypt to BOLSTER their economy? And, if that isn’t bad enough, this an “in your face” acknowledgement that this administration supports the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Obama administration notified Congress on Friday that it intends to give Egypt’s new government an emergency cash infusion of $450 million, but the move immediately encountered resistance from lawmakers wary of foreign aid in general and of Egypt’s new course under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The aid is part of $1 billion in assistance that the Obama administration has pledged to Egypt to bolster its economy and its transition to democracy following the overthrow last year of Hosni Mubarak, the country’s autocratic president.
Its fate, however, was clouded because of concerns over some of the new government’s policies and its handling of anti-American protests two weeks ago that overwhelmed the American Embassy in Cairo.
The United States Agency for International Development notified Congress of the cash infusion on Friday morning, prompting renewed protests over the foreign aid and the administration’s handling of crises spreading across the Islamic world.

France Sets 75% ‘Super Tax’ Rate


France taxes rich and business to slash deficit

(Reuters) - President Francois Hollande’s Socialist government unveiled sharp tax hikes on business and the rich on Friday in a 2013 budget aimed at showing France has the fiscal rigor to remain at the core of the euro zone.

The package will recoup 30 billion euros ($39 billion) for the public purse with a goal of narrowing the deficit to 3.0 percent of national output next year from 4.5 percent this year - France’s toughest single belt-tightening in 30 years.

But with record unemployment and a barrage of data pointing to economic stagnation, there are fears the deficit target will slip as France falls short of the modest 0.8 percent economic growth rate on which it is banking for next year.

The budget disappointed pro-reform lobbyists by merely freezing France’s high public spending rather than daring to attack ministerial budgets as Spain did this week as it battles to avoid the conditions of an international bailout.

“This is a fighting budget to get the country back on the rails,” Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said, adding that the 0.8 percent growth target was “realistic and ambitious”. “It is a budget which aims to bring back confidence and to break this spiral of debt that gets bigger and bigger.”

U.S. Army Lieutenant General (Retired) William "Jerry" Boykin



Three-Star General: Muslim Brotherhood Has Infiltrated Department of Defense

ANN ARBOR, MI – U.S. Army Lieutenant General (Ret.) William "Jerry" Boykin, in a recent World Net Daily radio interview, confirmed that people with high security clearances connected to the Muslim Brotherhood hold important positions in every major federal agency including the Pentagon and the Department of Defense.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a radical Islamist organization that has vowed the destruction of America from within. 


General Boykin has the credentials to back up his conclusions.  He was one of the original members of the U.S. Army's Delta Force which he ultimately led in combat operations.  He also served a tour in the CIA during which time he participated in clandestine operations throughout the world.   He served his last four years in the Army as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. 

Lt. Gen. Boykin, who currently serves as Executive Vice President of the Family Research Council, blasted Republicans for condemning Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., who sounded the alarm by questioning the Brotherhood ties of Huma Abedin, a top assistant to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  Boykin said that neither Republicans nor Democrats want to protest too loudly over concerns of being branded intolerant.The Thomas More Law Center now represents LTC Matthew Dooley, a 1994 graduate of the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. GEN Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had LTC  Dooley fired as an instructor at the Joint Forces Staff College in order to appease Muslim groups and the White House  who wanted all training materials offensive to Islam purged and all trainers using those materials disciplined.

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com 
Top trends forecaster Gerald Celente says, “The first great war of the 21st century has begun, and people are afraid to call it what it is.”  Celente says the extreme violence in in the Middle East and North Africa is Not because of a movie that pokes fun at Islam.  It’s because of decades of bad U.S. foreign policy.  Celente calls people like Rudolf Giuliani a “s***head” and a “scumbag” for lying to the American people about the real reasons why the Muslim world is enraged.  Celente goes on to say, “If anybody says I went over the edge, this is a matter of life and death.”  Celente also believes the world is being taken to war because the world economy “. . . is collapsing.  It’s collapsing in front of our eyes.  The numbers are there.”  Celente tells people to “buy gold and silver” to preserve wealth and says, “All around the world they are dumping dough into their economies to keep them going.”  Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Gerald Celente of the Trends Research Institute.

Only God is Our Refuge...

Psalm 91

CP note: As the veil is being pulled back to reveal the control mechanisms of this world, and what they truly are, can be quite frightening and can leave us with a feeling of despair. That is a normal reaction because we have been asleep—under this system’s spell—and is it a wonder, growing up in it and being influenced by it, that most of us have put our faith and trust in the institutions of the world's system and now we are discovering that things aren't what they appear to be.

Believe it or not, this revealing is a good thing—to find out that the things of this fallen world and the powers behind it that have ruled our lives are now being exposed by God. It is because of His mercy and His justice that this system will be brought into the Light and judged and His kingdom will come and His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

God, in his loving kindness has given us the greatest gift of redemption and restoration through His Son Jesus (Yahushua in the Hebrew), and when we accept that gift, we have nothing or no-thing to worry about and what may come our way in these times. In my opinion, we can have everything on our preparedness list checked off and still not be covered, I believe Psalm 91 says it all...

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
15 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
16 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
17 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,
18 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

Forget the Dollar...

1 oz. of Silver for 45 Acres of Land...



100 Days Until Taxmageddon

Sunday will mark the start of the 100-day countdown to “Taxmageddon” – 
the date the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect. They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on January 1, 2013:
First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief

In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for small business owners, families, and investors (later re-upped by President Obama and Democrat Congress in 2010).  The following tax hikes will occur on January 1, 2013:
Personal income tax rates will rise on January 1, 2013.
  
The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which the majority of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent.  All the rates in between will also rise.  Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:

-The 10% bracket rises to a new and expanded 15%
-The 25% bracket rises to 28%
-The 28% bracket rises to 31%
-The 33% bracket rises to 36%
-The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%

Rick Wiles, TruNews.com, 9/13/2012


Rick Wiles interviews Dr. Steve Puetz and Aaron Brickman about Natural Cycles of Economic Crashes - EXCELLENT and TIMELY.

Listen to the interview here...

CP note: This is a very informative broadcast about the natural cycles that center around lunar and solar cycles and their effect on the markets. I summarize the interview below:

Much of this information is based on research by Edward Dewey who wrote the book "Cycles, the Mysterious Forces that Trigger Events” and was the Chief Economic Analyst for the Department of Commerce in the early 1930s under President Herbert Hoover who requested a study on what caused the 1929 Stock Market Crash. According to Mr. Dewey, a group of New York investors, in 1912, found out that the Rothschilds used a secret formula to profit from a series of repeating cycles. The investors hired a mathematician to discover the secret investment formula and they used that formula with great success for many years.

Dr. Steve Puetz, an expert on cycles, is a statistician, mathematician and a financial analyst was influenced by Dewey’s research. Dr. Puetz published a study called "The Unified Cycle Theory, How Cycles Dominate the Structure of the Universe and Influence Life on Earth.” He studied 8 of the biggest financial crashes to see the connection between crashes and natural cycles.

NDAA, National Defense Authorization Act


White House Says It's Unconstitutional To Strike Down The NDAA

Related story: Obama’s Signing Statement on NDAA: I have the power to detain Americans… but I won’t

The Obama administration had some harsh words Friday after a federal judge appointed by Obama said the government doesn't have a right to indefinitely detain anyone even remotely associated with terrorist groups.

Judge Katherine B. Forrest permanently blocked the government from enforcing the National Defense Authorization Act, claiming it was too vague and would have a "chilling effect" on free speech.

And now the Department of Justice is calling Forrest's ruling "unprecedented," arguing that the government has long had the authority to detain anyone it deems a threat to the county, The Wall Street Journal's Law Blog reported Friday.

And on Monday, the Justice Department asked the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals to put the ruling on hold, according to Law Blog.

Forrest's ruling oversteps the court's authority and infringes on Obama's power to act as Commander in Chief, according to the government's court filings.

The Justice Department requested a stay of the ruling pending appeal, which Forrest denied Friday.

Carl Mayer, an attorney for the plaintiffs in the case has hailed the decision as a "huge and historic victory for democracy," saying he believes any challenges from the Obama administration will be shot down, RT reported over the weekend.

Where Did the Towers Go?


Directed Energy Technology

In Dr. Judy Wood’s book “Where Did the Towers Go?”, it reveals what really happened at a physical level during the 9/11 events. It has passed 10 years since the event, and the real facts of that day have been totally dismissed by the general population, and even by the “9/11 Truth Movement” representatives. 

Watch and listen to this amazing, 98 minute interview where Dr. Wood presents fascinating evidence that the buildings did not collapse as a result of fires caused by planes or even micro nukes, but were “dustified” by Tesla directed energy technology in a static field.


Effects of QE3

10 Shocking Quotes About What is Going to Do to America

Ready or not, QE3 is here, and the long-term effects of this reckless money printing by the Federal Reserve are going to be absolutely nightmarish. The Federal Reserve is hoping that buying $40 billion worth of mortgage-backed securities per month will spur more lending and more economic activity.

But that didn’t happen with either QE1 or QE2.  Both times the banks just sat on most of the extra money. As I pointed out the other day, U.S. banks are already sitting on $1.6 trillion in excess reserves. So will pumping them up with more cash suddenly make them decide to start lending? Of course not.  In addition, QE3 is not likely to produce many additional jobs.  As I showed in a previous article, the employment level did not jump up as a result of either QE1 or QE2. So why will this time be different? But what did happen under both QE1 and QE2 is that a lot of the money ended up pumping up the financial markets. So once again we should see stock prices go up (at least in the short-term) and commodities such as gold, silver, food and oil should also rise. But that also means that average American families will be paying more for the basic necessities that they buy on a regular basis. The most dangerous aspect of QE3, however, is what it is going to do to the U.S. dollar. Most of the rest of the world uses the U.S. dollar to conduct international trade, and by choosing to recklessly print money Ben Bernanke is severely damaging international confidence in our currency. If at some point the rest of the world rejects the dollar and no longer wants to use it as a reserve currency we are going to be facing a crisis unlike anything we have ever seen before. The real debate about QE3 should not be about whether or not it will help the economy a little bit in the short-term. Rather, everyone should be talking about the long-term implications and about how QE3 is going to accelerate the destruction of the dollar.


The Watchman’s Cry - A Herald to Prepare...

Program #165 - Olympic Ceremony Series

Bumped...

CP note: Just when you thought all the stuff about the 2012 London Olympics was a thing of the past! If you take notice of Nathan Leal of “The Watchman’s Cry website, you may find out that the opening and closing ceremonies were just the beginning.

Nathan Leal of the “The Watchman’s Cry”, has put together a major report about the Luciferian, New World Order rituals that occurred at the July 27, 2012, Opening and August 12, 2012, Closing Ceremonies. This report goes even further than the research that I did for the London 2012 Olympic Possible False Flag event where we were looking for a possible catastrophic event to occur. 

Even though the Olympics ended “without incident”, I believe the information that Nathan brings forward will show that the rituals that appeared as a celebration with overt and covert symbolism did indeed open the gateway to the Hoards of Hell that have been allowed for the time of judgement and reveals the plans the elite have for their one world government, economic system and one world religion that has its roots in theosophy.

US Government’s Secret Army:

Foreign Troops to be Deployed After Martial Law is Declared

Susanne Posel, Contributor
Activist Post

The US Air Force document entitled Psychological Operations published in 1999 explained how for the purpose of hiding in plain sight, psy-ops are a “low-cost, high-impact” way of conducting military operations without having to deal with questions by the American public.

The control of “selected information” being leaked out to the public through mainstream media, press conferences and other designated outlets has ensured that the targeted audience will support the governmental campaign out of ignorance. Of late, reports and rumors about foreign troops in America working with our armed forces have been surfacing. And in response, the US government has (at first) dismissed the claims. Now, official reports are confirming what eye witnesses have been seeing. 

The question is: why are foreign troops training with US military forces for urban warfare, civil unrest and disturbance? 

Scheduled for September 12th through the 16th, the Canadian military will be training for domestic operations in locking down urban populations. The supposition is that a massive revolt could break out as global civilian revolution is believed to be imminent.

Houses Built On Sand: Wormwood in History

Never in history have so many human beings been interested in a particular planet, it seems these days. Not a day goes by where you can’t find some new information relating to Planet X. From those that wholly believe, to those that think believers in Planet X to be crazy, there is no shortage of opinions on either side. What I’ve tried to do however is to look at the issue of Planet X from all sides, sort of ‘walk around’ the question and see if I can see anything that might be missing, or rather may have been overlooked.

Here’s some of what I’ve found.
 
“The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the water, because it was made bitter.”

Revelation 8:11
Well, as you can image my search began with the Bible where indeed there is mentioned, a cryptic one to be sure, about a ‘star’, planet, of some kind called Wormwood. And further research shows that we are far from the first generation of human beings to be concerned about this Wormwood. So dreaded is the ancient knowledge of this planet that our ancestors- handed down to each and every one of us an instinctual knowledge of when it would come again.

IF...

Keeping Your Head When All About You Are Losing Theirs

http://www.resilientcommunities.com/keeping-your-head-when-all-about-you-are-losing-theirs/


We live in turbulent times.  Our world is messed up.

So, it’s natural to get caught up in it, to get depressed or angry by what is going on.

But… if you spend too much time focusing on what’s going wrong, you’ll miss the amazing opportunities that are right in front of you.

Few people have summed this up as well as Rudyard Kipling in his poem “IF” (see entire poem below):

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too….    

…….Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it

Here’s an example of what I mean.


Episode 777: Zechariah Unsealed, Part 1, Benjamin Baruch

Omega Man, Blog Talk Radio

Sat., September 8, 2012

Benjamin Baruch shares a prophetic insite he sees for America noting historical replication of a rebellious nation and their inability to repent and return to the Lord. In the books of Isaiah, chapter 6: 8-13 and Zachariah and Ezra, chapter 9: 6-8 it speaks of the type of judgment that is coming to our nation that will bring true repentance and a remnant that will survive because of their humble and contrite hearts and their right relationship with God. Benjamin also is an international financial expert and touches on the condition of the global economy.

Louise Yamada, one of the most respected Wall Street analysts, is very close to telling her clients to pull the trigger on the NYSE. Small investors and mutual funds are pulling out leaving only High Frequency algorithmic computerized traders and the Plunge Protection Team to buy stocks. There are no real human beings left in the markets. There have been repeated rumors that Morgan Stanley is near bankruptcy and is soon to be gobbled up by J P Morgan. Jamie Dimon has admitted that if his bank were taken over there is another 150 billion dollars in bad assets to get rid of. That means that even after 30 trillion dollars in Bailouts that all of the big banks are bankrupt.

More New Documents Show TSA Intends To Deploy Body Scanners At Rail, Bus, Ferry Terminals

Mobile body scanner program was not discontinued, as agency claims

Steve Watson
Infowars.com
Sept 7, 2012

Yet more documents uncovered under the Freedom of Information Act have revealed that in the year prior to rolling out radiation body scanners in airports, the TSA was drawing up long term plans to deploy the machines at “ferry terminals, railway, and mass transit stations” as well as unspecified “other locations”.

The documents, dating from 2008 were released to engineer Jon Corbett who made headlines last year by infamously posted a video of himself demonstrating how the body scanners can easily be bypassed.

“You can expect {the scanners] at train stations, bus stations, subways, highways, cruise ships, and anywhere that “transportation” happens (i.e., everywhere).” Corbett writes. “And, where the body scanners go, so does the groping, since the body scanners have at least a 40% false positive rate which needs to be resolved by blue-gloved gestapo.” he adds.

The documents also detail the fact that the TSA refused to conduct any form of study on what effect the radiation firing scanners would have on the environments they are placed into.




Heads Up Everyone!

'Next 50 Days Most Fateful Since Yom Kippur War'

Hanegbi, Former Head of Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Tzachi Hanegbi, hints at timetable for Iran attack.


By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 9/6/2012, 9:54 PM


"We now stand, in my opinion, before the 50 most fateful days in Israel's history, since perhaps the Yom Kippur War, in which there were also several dozen fateful days."
So said the former Head of Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Tzachi Hanegbi, at a closed meeting of Likud activists in Yafo. A recording of his speech reached daily newspaper Makon Rishon's reporter, Ze'ev Kam.


"The prime minister will have to make decisions that will bear a price tag. Allowing Iranian nuclear weapons has a price tag. The practical result will be a nuclear arms race in the entire Middle East," he explained.


"Today, when we say that we understand the danger of the Iranian threat, and understand that a confrontation bears a price, it is because we want to prevent our sons and grandson from paying unbearable prices," he said.


Hanegbi, who left Likud for Kadima and is now back in Likud, called on the activists to support Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and to "allow him quiet" and "strengthen his legitimacy" so that he can take the necessary decisions calmly.

10 Signs That You’re Fully Awake

Activist Post

Isn't it obvious that there is a significant global awakening happening? Just as the Mayans predicted so many years ago, the apocalypse would become apparent in 2012. But many misinterpret the apocalypse to be the end of the world, when in fact it actually means an "un-covering, a revelation of something hidden."

As many continue to argue the accuracy of the Mayan calendar, it can no longer be argued that a great many people are finally becoming aware of what has been hidden from them for so long. Of course this awakening is not an overnight process. It takes time to peel away the many layers of lies to get to the core of the ultimate truths.

It would be beyond pretentious for us to claim to know all of the secrets of the universe. We don't. Everyday we are humbled by what we don't yet know.

However, it is becoming clearer by the day what isn't true. And by that measure alone, it is possible to determine if you're one of the people beginning to wake up.

Louisiana Sinkhole Alarms Reported, Seismic Activity Spikes

Louisiana sinkhole area residents reported to Assumption Parish officials hearing alarms over the weekend, but were told by officials that alarms are not going off. The alarm reports coincide with a spike in seismic activity, according to The University of Memphis Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI), and also might coincide with resumed drilling into the sinkhole area after Tropical Storm Isaac left it.

According to the University of Memphis team's hellicorder charts of two of the six seismic monitors its Louisiana sinkhole team placed in the sinkhole area, monitors # 3 and # 9 at locations near Highway 70 in the Bayou Corne area, have recorded unusually higher seismic activity on September 2.
Those recordings are much higher than on previous days and at other locations that the team of scientists are monitoring in the area, according to the university CERI hellicorder dated graphs.



Video Shows TSA’s Bizarre New Security Policy

Federal agency tests drinks purchased inside airport
CP note: Tell me that it is not so! This is absolutely ridiculous and has GOT to stop and people need to start saying “No thanks.” People, if you don’t realize this yet, this is not about safety, this is about conditioning the public to get use to undo searches and seizures. By the way, this airport, in my opinion is one of the worst. I'm wondering if they are testing this in Columbus because it has the demographics of the US in this city. Columbus, Ohio is a test market because it a smaller version of the collective US—if it works in Columbus, Ohio, most likely it'll work in the rest of the US.

A video clip shot yesterday at Columbus Ohio Airport illustrates how the Transportation Security Administration has dreamed up a bizarre new way to waste time and taxpayer dollars – by testing drinks purchased by travelers for explosives inside the airport long after they have already passed security.
The footage shows TSA agents walking around a departure lounge asking to test passengers’ drinks for explosive residue with a swab they hold over the liquid.
“Now remember that this is inside the terminal, well beyond the security check and purchased inside the terminal…just people waiting to get on the plane,” writes the You Tube user who uploaded the video.
