It has been a while since the last issue of 'BE/\LERT!' wholly devoted to the topic of Christian persecution. If it were not for ministries charged with the mission of sounding the alarm regarding persecution of the saints and small Independent Christian and secular media sources that cover the topic, most of us would be unaware of the tribulations and mass slaughter our brethren around the world are facing. Rarely does the Mainstream Media (MSM) cover this topic (even though it could be considered a global holocaust in it's own right) choosing rather to ignore it in favor of the propaganda of the spirit of the age which is generally everything and anything that puts true Bible believing Christians, Christianity and State of Israel in a poor light whether true or not.

There is one thing that needs to be clearly understood by believers seeking truth in these last days: (Not by any means seeking to dishonor the men and women in uniform who serve and protect our nations at home and abroad), the NATO beast that has been shredding and stopping down one Muslim and Middle Eastern r�gime after another since the first Bush presidency has done absolutely nothing for the sake of Christians around the world. If fact, it has made conditions all the worst in nearly every case and continues to do so.

As you will see in the articles below, this "Military Industrial Complex" headed up by the US and NATO has helped to abolish every Christian church in Afghanistan, nearly wiped Christianity out of Iraq and through the organization of the "Arab Muslim Spring" is in the process of ridding Egypt of Christians not to mention anywhere else Islam has a strong foothold. Yet, even though accounts of NATO carpet bombing civilians in Libya near Tripoli was reported by more than one independent source (ignored of course by the MSM) all we still hear from the UN is how evil Israel is along with the terrible plight of the Palestinians whom all other Muslims hate and would be warring against if it weren't for the fact that they hate Jews more. With the announcement of the death of Muammar al-Gaddafi, it will be interesting to see what happens in Libya and if there is peace or Civil war and how this eventually plays into the Magog prophecies of Ezekiel 38 and 39. Gaddafi's death is another feather in the cap of the Pentagon's drone program, something that should strike fear into every leader and lawless terrorist on the loose around the world.

However, by these statements I am not giving the antichrist religion of Islam a pass since according to Sharia the goal is to either tax, outlaw or murder all who do not bow to Allah and his false prophet Mohammed. Islamist organizations (those are terrorists) would not have the amount of power they do if they were not primarily founded, funded, trained and armed by Western intelligence groups such as the CIA to carry out their dirty dealings. Just like "Fast and Furious" shipping guns to the blood thirsty drug cartels in Mexico it seems most of the weapons out in the world killing our own men and women (and I would suggest slaughtering many defenseless Christians) have been funneled through that great so-called bulwark of freedom called Washington D.C. Moreover, I can assure you that both Democrats and Republicans have been involved in this sick and twisted "blood for money" game in the American government for many years.

This is what other researchers have referred to as the Anglo-American control of energy, banking, military, and food production, called "Full-Spectrum Dominance." Even though this oil sits in the ground of many of the Islamic countries in The Middle East and there exists even a "front" group called OPEC, the real power lies in the ability to control the distribution and that is what Iraq and Afghanistan are mainly about as well as cutting off China and Russia as outlined in The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives written by Zbigniew Brzezinski. Many Geo-Political observers and researchers having pointed to this book, written in 1997, as the "New World Order" textbook of the moment as this editorial review posted on Amazon.com sums up: "Brzezinski casts Eurasia as the playing field upon which the world's fate is determined ... Like a grandmaster in chess, he plots his strategy several moves in advance ...". Yet, this is all done in the name of "Democracy" and each US President goes on television and gloats about the accomplishments knowing well it is one big fraud. It is no wonder that the Kings of the East make a run when they do according to prophecy. The question I ask myself regarding this present day power structure is whether it belongs to the makings of the coming global beast system or the woman riding it that will be destroyed.  

Meanwhile we have "The Arab Spring" 'spirit' moving into "Occupy Wall Street". Certainly, a number of their concerns are understandable and even commendable as I, and I would surmise many of you would agree. However, it is their complete lack of reason and understanding and spiritual darkness they are under that puts them in league with the protesters of the "Arab Spring" that the organizers of the marches have looked to as an inspiration and a model. Depending on what network coverage news report you watch gives a completely different spin just like the Tea Party rallies. This time most of the MSM makes the rallies look reasonable and the protesters look like normal Americans as much as possible. FOX News usually shows the worst most freaked out hippie types and those who are breaking the law. I was able to catch a Middle East report in Arabic translated and it made the it look like the "Arab Spring" had taken over the entire US. What I find is that the majority of Americans dislike the banksters on Wall Street but also don't care much for the delusional protesters either. Nevertheless, the endless bickering in the US Congress and media about what amounts to adding or cutting one lifeboat from the sinking Titanic keeps the American people glued to a stupefying and hypnotizing game of ping pong and the sheep are growing angry and tired.

These are clearly evil and deceptive days and the Western church and especially the American church has to awaken to what is really happening regarding the Body of Christ as a whole. Much of what our nation is doing and has done has had a very detrimental effect to the church. No other country pumps more evil into the world than the United States with her trafficking, war machine, evil merchandise, filthy lucre, marketing and false gospel that has polluted this world into total drunkenness. Think about how many Christmas holiday decorations are made in China by Christian slave labor camps only to be bought by the Laodicean church in America. The only thing that has been of value is the true church spreading the true gospel along with our support of Israel.

Long term I do not know what that means, but up to now it has been bad for the church and with a number of these nations, it does not look all that great for Israel as well.
