Toxic Oil Spill Rains Warned Could Destroy North America

Posted by Europe on May 24, 2010

Excerpt:
A dire report prepared for President Medvedev by Russia’s Ministry of Natural Resources is warning today that the British Petroleum (BP) oil and gas leak in the Gulf of Mexico is about to become the worst environmental catastrophe in all of human history threatening the entire eastern half of the North American continent with “total destruction”.

Russian scientists are basing their apocalyptic destruction assessment due to BP’s use of millions of gallons of the chemical dispersal agent known as Corexit 9500 which is being pumped directly into the leak of this wellhead over a mile under the Gulf of Mexico waters and designed, this report says, to keep hidden from the American public the full, and tragic, extent of this leak that is now estimated to be over 2.9 million gallons a day.

The dispersal agent Corexit 9500 is a solvent originally developed by Exxon and now manufactured by the Nalco Holding Company of Naperville, Illinois that is four times more toxic than oil (oil is toxic at 11 ppm (parts per million), Corexit 9500 at only 2.61ppm).

In a report written by Anita George-Ares and James R. Clark for Exxon Biomedical Sciences, Inc. titled “Acute Aquatic Toxicity of Three Corexit Products: An Overview” Corexit 9500 was found to be one of the most toxic dispersal agents ever developed. Even worse, according to this report, with higher water temperatures, like those now occurring in the Gulf of Mexico, its toxicity grows.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in discovering BP’s use of this dangerous dispersal agent ordered BP to stop using it, but BP refused stating that their only alternative to Corexit 9500 was an even more dangerous dispersal agent known as Sea Brat 4...

A greater danger involving Corexit 9500, and as outlined by Russian scientists in this report, is that with its 2.61ppm toxicity level, and when combined with the heating Gulf of Mexico waters, its molecules will be able to “phase transition” from their present liquid to a gaseous state allowing them to be absorbed into clouds and allowing their release as “toxic rain” upon all of Eastern North America.

Even worse, should a Katrina like tropical hurricane form in the Gulf of Mexico while tens of millions of gallons of Corexit 9500 are sitting on, or near, its surface the resulting “toxic rain” falling upon the North American continent could “theoretically” destroy all microbial life to any depth it reaches resulting in an “unimaginable environmental catastrophe” destroying all life forms from the “bottom of the evolutionary chart to the top”.

Note: For molecules of a liquid to evaporate, they must be located near the surface, be moving in the proper direction, and have sufficient kinetic energy to overcome liquid-phase intermolecular forces. Only a small proportion of the molecules meet these criteria, so the rate of evaporation is limited. Since the kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to its temperature, evaporation proceeds more quickly at higher temperatures.

As over 50 miles of the US State of Louisiana’s coastline has already been destroyed by this spill, American scientists are warning that the damage may be impossible to repair, and as we can read as reported by the Associated Press News Service:



“The gooey oil washing into the maze of marshes along the Gulf Coast could prove
impossible to remove, leaving a toxic stew lethal to fish and wildlife,
government officials and independent scientists said. Officials are considering
some drastic and risky solutions: They could set the wetlands on fire or flood
areas in hopes of floating out the oil. They warn an aggressive cleanup could
ruin the marshes and do more harm than good."


And to understand the full import of this catastrophe it must be remembered that this disaster is occurring in what is described as the “biologically richest waters in America” with the greatest amount of oil and toxic Corexit 9500 set to come ashore in the coming days and weeks to destroy it completely for decades to come.

Reports are also coming from the United States that their government is secretly preparing to evacuate tens-of-millions of their citizens from their Gulf of Mexico States should the most dire of these scientific warnings start to come true.

To the greatest lesson to be learned by these Americans is that their government-oil industry cabal has been just as destructive to them as their government-banking one, both of which have done more to destroy the United States these past couple of years than any foreign enemy could dare dream was possible.

Human-animal hybrids in life vs. death struggle. Science-fiction fantasy becomes reality in labs

Excerpt:
In what may seem more like a Hollywood science-fiction plot, as in the forthcoming movie 'Splice,' lawmakers are trying to prevent scientists from combining human and animal embryos to make 'human-animal hybrids.

'In 'Splice,' two scientists defy ethical boundaries and splice together human and animal DNA to create a new organism, also known as a chimera.



(Sarah Polley and Delphine Chaneac in "Splice)

At what price?

While the idea of such an experiment may seem far-fetched, scientists around the world have been dabbling in creation of human-animal hybrids for years...

Human-animal hybrid experimentationScientists have had some success with human-animal hybrid experiments. In 2003, Chinese scientists at the Shanghai Second Medical University fused human cells with rabbit embryos, according to National Geographic News. The embryos were given several days to develop before the scientists destroyed them to harvest stem cells.

According to the report, researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota were able to create pigs with human blood flowing through their bodies in 2004.

'Scientists feel that, the more humanlike the animal, the better research model it makes for testing drugs or possibly growing 'spare parts,' such as livers, to transplant into humans,' National Geographic reported. 'Watching how human cells mature and interact in a living creature may also lead to the discoveries of new medical treatments.

'Biotechnology activist Jeremy Rifkin told the magazine, 'One doesn't have to be religious or into animal rights to think this doesn't make sense. It's the scientists who want to do this. They've now gone over the edge into the pathological domain.'

In 2005, New York scientist Stuart Newman sought a patent on a on a process to combine human embryo cells with cells from the embryo of a monkey, ape or other animal. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected his request, according to the Washington Post, because the hybrid 'would be too closely related to a human to be patentable.'

"The Post reported Stanford University biologist Irving Weissman helped other scientists make hybrid rodents, including mice that have up to 1 percent human brain cells in their skulls.

Also, a researcher at the University of Nevada at Reno, Esmail Zanjani, successfully grew mostly human livers in sheep. His goal was to make the humanized livers available for transplant in people.

In 2008, British scientists produced human-animal hybrid embryos by inserting human DNA from a skin cell into a hollowed-out cow embryo. 'An electric shock then induced the hybrid embryo to grow,' London's Guardian reported. 'The embryo, 99.9 percent human and 0.1 percent other animal, grew for three days, until it had 32 cells.'"

Testing the Prophets

By Wyatt Ciesielka



As we approach the end of the age, many self-appointed ministers, prophets and apostles are making wild and competing assertions. Claims range from announcing that they are one of the end-time "Two Witnesses" to predicting thedate for Christ’s return; from wrongly identifying the future King of the North, King of the South, or the Kings from the East; to declaring that the four horsemen of the Apocalypse have already been released! What is the truth? Who can you believe? How can you test the prophets?

Scripture warns that in the latter times false prophets will abound! Scripture calls them hypocrites and liars, influenced by demons and deceiving spirits (1 Timothy 4:1–2).

As we approach the end of the age, many self-appointed ministers, prophets and apostles are making wild and competing assertions. Claims range from announcing that they are one of the end-time 'Two Witnesses' to predicting the date for Christ’s return; from wrongly identifying the future King of the North, King of the South, or the Kings from the East; to declaring that the four horsemen of the Apocalypse have already been released!

What is the truth? Who can you believe? How can you test the prophets?

The Red Horse

Prophecy is indeed moving rapidly forward. Terrible earthquakes, storms and other natural disasters abound. Religious strife, economic calamity, famine and immorality are spreading. Nuclear weapons proliferation and terrorism thrive. War rhetoric continues to escalate. The United States is increasingly seeing nations such as China, Venezuela, Russia, and North Korea as potential adversaries.

Briefly consider Iran. Apparently determined to develop nuclear weapons and continuing to threaten not only Israel and America, but also Europe, President Ahmadinejad is calling the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon "a big lie" and a pretext for the war on terror (Associated Press, "Iran’s Ahmadinejad: Sept. 11 attacks a ‘big lie’," March 6, 2010).

Iran’s belligerent stance has caused German Chancellor Angela Merkel to demand "tough sanctions" and to say that "the European Union would take action by itself if UN sanctions did not get passed" ("Merkel Calls on Russia and China to Support Tougher Sanctions", Der Spiegel, February 25, 2010). Likewise, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has for months been calling for increased pressure on Iran and has said that Egypt rejects Iran’s actions ("Mubarak: Iran nuke program must be treated like Israel," Jerusalem Post, January 27, 2010).

God’s true Church understands the prophetic implications of representatives of the coming European King of the North, and the Arab King of the South galvanizing against Iran—which is modern Persia, is east of Jerusalem, and is not the King of the South.

It could seem that the second seal; the red horse of war, in Revelation 6 has been opened. Many claim it has. Has it? Will you use Scripture to "test the spirits, whether they are of God" (1 John 4:1)?

The Olivet Prophecy Framework

Jesus Christ is the Revelator (Revelation 1:1). And Scripture records Christ at the Mount of Olives revealing detailed information about events that will immediately precede His Second Coming. Jesus’ Olivet Prophecy, recorded in Matthew 24, reveals the same sequence of events as found in Revelation:


  • Great religious deception (vv. 4–5). This is the deadly militant religious persecution found in Revelation 6:2. This is the first seal and the "White Horse."

  • Regional, national and ethnic wars will explode (vv. 4–5). This is second seal and the "Red Horse" of Revelation 6:4.

  • Terrible famine and starvation will sweep the earth (v. 7). This is the third seal and the "Black Horse" of Revelation 6:5–6.

  • Disease and death will sweep the earth (v. 7). This is the fourth seal and "Pale Horse" of Revelation 6:8.
After these four seals is the fifth seal—the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21). Then the sixth seal—the "Heavenly Signs" (v. 29). This is followed by the Day of the Lord and Christ’s triumphant return (vv. 30–31).

There have always been harbingers of the four horsemen. But, the end-time seals are opened in a specific order within a timeframe of just over 3½ years. And, there are very specific events associated with each seal. The first five seals of Revelation, outlined in Revelation 6, cover just over 2 1⁄2 years. The sixth seal then introduces the year-long prophetic period known as the Day of the Lord.

While end-time conditions are now rapidly coalescing, it is important to understand prophecy accurately. Many people understand some prophecy and mix that with much error. But 2 Peter 1:19 demands that a scripturally accurate understanding of prophecy is one sign of God’s true Church!

The White Horse Must Ride First!

The first seal releases intensified religious deception and a militant false religious movement. The "mother of harlots" (Revelation 17) will lead this movement and she will persecute the saints (v. 6). But first, the "mother church" must gather her wayward daughters (Isaiah 47:8).

Recent decrees such as Anglicanorum Coetibus are long-prophesied and tremendously important movements designed to bring Anglicans, Orthodox and Protestants back under Roman Catholic supremacy (Catholic News Agency, February 1, 2010). Scripture reveals that after this brief reconciliation, this system’s destruction will come suddenly (Isaiah 47:9).

Additionally, at the time of the first seal, a brazen and satanically powerful false religious leader will arise (2 Thessalonians 2:4). This man will have supernatural power to deceive. He will have the ability to perform great miracles such as causing fire to come down out of the sky (Revelation 13:13–14)! He will present himself as the leader of the entire Christian church, and even go on to demand to be worshiped as God!

For a brief time near the end of this age, as God’s true Church has long understood, this great "mother church" will temporarily manipulate ("ride") the end-time European Beast power (Revelation 13:4–7; 17:1–7) which will crush the modern Israelitish countries immediately before Christ’s return. A ten-nation (or ten-kingdom) "United States of Europe"—essentially within the bounds of the old Roman Empire—will be under the sway of the Roman Church as it carries out its prophesied end-time activities.

Yes, it is clear that events are rapidly accelerating to usher in the end of this age and Christ’s return. But, it is also clear that the final false prophet has not yet been revealed. This is one of many reasons we know that, at this time, neither the first nor second seals have yet been opened.


Prove All Things

Many people need to test the spirits, "because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1). Others, who became afflicted with "itching ears" need to return to the sound doctrine they once knew and stop listening to pompous deceivers masquerading as ministers of Christ (2 Timothy 4:3–4)!

Each of us must prove all these things (1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV) well before the seals are opened! We must turn away from self-appointed prophets and false ministers and prove from our Bibles who is faithfully teaching the Truth in power while that faithful Church may still be found (Amos 8:11)!

God has preserved a faithful Church that perseveres in keeping His commandments (Revelation 3:10), is zealously doing a worldwide Work (Mark 16:15), and has "a more sure word of prophecy" (2 Peter 1:19, KJV)!

Have you proven where that Church is? Have you "crucified" your carnal will to Christ (Galatians 2:20) to now live by faith within the body of Christ where there is no schism (1 Corinthians 12:25)?

The future of the EU and the Euro?

Friday, May 07, 2010
LIVING CHURCH OF GOD

Speculations abound regarding the fate of the EU and the euro, and there is increasing concern that one or both could fail. The U.S. bank, Morgan Stanley warns “…that the Greek debt crisis is setting off a chain of events that may prompt German withdrawal from the eurozone” (Telegraph, April 15, 2010). “The former Governor of the Bank of Israel, Prof. Yaakov Frenkel, predicts a possible collapse of the Euro within the next three years” (IsraelNationalNews.com, May 2, 2010).

Swiss economics professor, Franz Jaeger, predicts there is only one way left out of the euro-crisis: The currency must be split in two! He envisions a stronger “northern euro” to serve the nations in Northern and Western Europe, while a weaker “southern euro” would serve the Southern European nations. Professor Jaeger sees eight nations in each of the southern and northern euro zones (Bild am Sonntag, May 2, 2010).

These predictions all fit with the opinion of many EU experts—there will be a two-speed or two-tiered Europe, with the stronger and more financially stable core of nations pulling ahead. Such a realignment of European nations could eventually result in the prophesied ten-kingdom power of Daniel 2 and Revelation 17.
The Bible states that this political power will consist of “10 kings” who willingly “give their power and authority to the beast” for a short time (Revelation 17:12-13).

America, You have been Warned! The Dollar's Inevitable Demise

By Vasko Kohlmayer
American Thinker

Consider these figures. The current size of the American economy is roughly $14 trillion. As of this writing, the federal government's total public debt stands at nearly $13 trillion.

In its first midsession review, the White House Office of Management and Budget estimated that at the end of 2010, the national debt will breach the $14-trillion mark. This means that America's sovereign debt will be soon equal to the annual output of our economy. In other words, our national debt will shortly reach 100 percent of GDP. History and experience show that most governments that assume such levels of debt are ultimately not able to contain them. In most cases, this kind of situation eventually leads to the disintegration of the country's monetary regime and the collapse of its currency.

This outcome is not inevitable, given that -- in theory, at least -- a debt of 100 percent of GDP is still manageable. But to bring things under control would require strict fiscal discipline.

Unfortunately, there no indication that our federal government can muster any. Quite the contrary. Last year the federal budget deficit reached a record $1.4 trillion. At nearly 10 percent of GDP, this was the highest peacetime deficit in history. Despite the numerous assurances that the 2009 shortfall was a one-off event brought on by the financial crisis, this year's deficit will go even higher. According to the analysis submitted by the Congressional Budget Office last month, it will climb to $1.5 trillion. This will amount to 10.3 percent of GDP.

There is every reason to believe that the deficit will grow even faster in the years to come, as the federal government further increases its involvement in health care. The estimates by the Office of the Management and Budget which we quoted above do not factor in the costs associated with the recently passed health care reform. Even the more conservative estimates project that the legislation will cost well over one trillion during the program's first ten years. It is almost certain, however, that this figure is grossly understated, as government programs have a tendency to exceed their initial cost projections by grotesque multiples.

This, however, is not the worst of it, because the national debt represents only a relatively small portion of our government's total financial obligations. The far greater bulk is made up of long-term liabilities inherent in entitlement programs. According to the latest estimates by the Dallas Federal Reserve, the combined liabilities of Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid amount to an astounding $104 trillion.

When we add the national debt and entitlements together, we get a figure of some $117trillion. This figure represents the amount of money the federal government will have to come up with in the years ahead in order to discharge its obligations.

The sheer magnitude of this number makes it difficult to grasp. To give a sense of scale, it is about twice the current economic output of the whole world. It is also more than eight times the size of the American economy. With today's tax revenues it would take more than fifty-five years to pay for these obligations. This assumes there is no interest on the debt and that the federal government spends no money on anything else.

There is only one conclusion that reasonably can be drawn on the basis of these figures: The American federal government is simply not in the position to make good on its obligations.

There is a growing recognition of this fact. When discussing America's national debt in his lecture at the Mises Institute, the noted financial analyst Peter Schiff said this:

We're not going to pay the Chinese back their money. It's impossible. We can't.
We can't possibly

Given the figures, Schiff only stated the obvious.

Sooner or later, our government's ability to finance deficit spending with low yield bonds will come to an end. Deprived of the source of cheap cash and pressed by the need to meet its vast array payments, the government will be left with two options: It will either have to default, or it can seek to meet the payment schedules by creating new money.

Given the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency, default would be a cataclysmic global event that would result in the disintegration of the world's financial system. Needless to say, this kind of calamity would bring about the dollar's sudden collapse with ruinous consequences for the American people.

The second option -- paying its outstanding bills with new money -- looks initially more attractive. On this scenario government would discharge its liabilities with freshly created dollars. This is actually the most likely course our government will take, since money creation is the route that over-leveraged governments usually take in an effort to service their excessive obligations.

At first sight this may seem like an easy way out, but it has bad consequences down the line. As the government pumps new dollars into the system, the value of the money stock is diluted and inflation occurs. In light of the enormous depth of our indebtedness, inflation will in the end eat away most of the dollar's value.

It should be noted that inflation is really only default in disguise. On the inflationary scenario, creditors will only get paid back a portion of their original investment while entitlement beneficiaries will only receive a portion of the value of their promised benefits.

Whichever of the two possible options our government chooses to pursue, the final result will be currency destruction. Outright default would result in the dollar's immediate collapse, while inflation would produce a more gradual decline, at least initially. Needless to say, given the immense weight of the government' financial burden, the inflationary route will ultimately wipe out most of the greenback's worth. Either way, we will end up with a greatly debased, if not completely worthless, currency and all the painful repercussions inherent in that downfall.

To put it bluntly, the dollar's days are numbered and its demise is inevitable. Anyone who still hopes there may be a way around it, must answer that ultimate money question: Where in the world is the American federal government going to get $117 trillion?

Any suggestions?
