Many
people in the christian church are waiting on a rapture and I'm sure
their religious leader taught them that the rapture would happen before
the anti-christ is revealed. I'm sure they said that the anti-christ
would bring forth the mark of the beast and he would bring forth martial
law. In the Obama care bill it says that their going to bring forth a
two way radio where no man can buy or sell without. Also, he's
implemented medical martial law where they can basically lock you down
and destroy you based on you being a so-called medical threat to society
through the Obama Care Bill. The Middle East has already been taken
down by this man. The bible says there's many anti-christ, but why not
start with this one first. Why are your institutions not speaking about
this?
The biggest mistake we made as a people is letting others influence us as what the scriptures were saying instead of gaining our own understanding. And in doing so, the Jewish Massorites and Jesuits also took out the other evidence that exposes their wickedness in the Apocrypha in 1928 that was originally in the 16/11 Holy Bible. The KJV Bible is fully intact, but the issue is the little alterations that were placed in our bibles from translation errors from the Hebrew and Greek scrolls.

Ebola, AIDS Manufactured by Western Pharmaceuticals
Ebola, AIDS Manufactured by Western Pharmaceuticals, US DoD?

Scientists Allege
By:
Dr. Cyril Broderick, Professor of Plant Pathology
I have read a number of articles from your Internet outreach as
well as articles from other sources about the casualties in Liberia and
other West African countries about the human devastation caused by the
Ebola virus. About a week ago, I read an article published in the
Internet news summary publication of the Friends of Liberia that said
that there was an agreement that the initiation of the Ebola outbreak in
West Africa was due to the contact of a two-year old child with bats
that had flown in from the Congo. That report made me disconcerted with
the reporting about Ebola, and it stimulated a response to the “Friends
of Liberia,” saying that African people are not ignorant and gullible,
as is being implicated. A response from Dr. Verlon Stone said that the
article was not theirs, and that “Friends of Liberia” was simply
providing a service. He then asked if he could publish my letter in
their Internet forum. I gave my permission, but I have not seen it
published. Because of the widespread loss of life, fear, physiological
trauma, and despair among Liberians and other West African citizens, it
is incumbent that I make a contribution to the resolution of this
devastating situation, which may continue to recur, if it is not
properly and adequately confronted. I will address the situation in five
(5) points:
1. EBOLA IS A GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM (GMO)
Horowitz (1998) was deliberate and unambiguous when he explained
the threat of new diseases in his text, Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola
- Nature, Accident or Intentional. In his interview with Dr. Robert
Strecker in Chapter 7, the discussion, in the early 1970s, made it
obvious that the war was between countries that hosted the KGB and the
CIA, and the ‘manufacture’ of ‘AIDS-Like Viruses’ was clearly directed
at the other. In passing during the Interview, mention was made of Fort
Detrick, “the Ebola Building,” and ‘a lot of problems with strange
illnesses’ in “Frederick [Maryland].” By Chapter 12 in his text, he had
confirmed the existence of an American Military-Medical-Industry that
conducts biological weapons tests under the guise of administering
vaccinations to control diseases and improve the health of “black
Africans overseas.” The book is an excellent text, and all leaders plus
anyone who has interest in science, health, people, and intrigue should
study it. I am amazed that African leaders are making no
acknowledgements or reference to these documents.
2. EBOLA HAS A TERRIBLE HISTORY, AND TESTING HAS BEEN SECRETLY TAKING PLACE IN AFRICA
I am now reading The Hot Zone, a novel, by Richard Preston
(copyrighted 1989 and 1994); it is heart-rending. The prolific and
prominent writer, Steven King, is quoted as saying that the book is “One
of the most horrifying things I have ever read. What a remarkable piece
of work.” As a New York Times bestseller, The Hot Zone is presented as
“A terrifying true story.” Terrifying, yes, because the pathological
description of what was found in animals killed by the Ebola virus is
what the virus has been doing to citizens of Guinea, Sierra Leone and
Liberia in its most recent outbreak: Ebola virus destroys peoples’
internal organs and the body deteriorates rapidly after death. It
softens and the tissues turn into jelly, even if it is refrigerated to
keep it cold. Spontaneous liquefaction is what happens to the body of
people killed by the Ebola virus! The author noted in Point 1, Dr.
Horowitz, chides The Hot Zone for writing to be politically correct; I
understand because his book makes every effort to be very factual. The
1976 Ebola incident in Zaire, during President Mobutu Sese Seko, was the
introduction of the GMO Ebola to Africa.
3. SITES AROUND AFRICA, AND IN WEST AFRICA, HAVE OVER THE YEARS BEEN SET UP FOR TESTING EMERGING DISEASES, ESPECIALLY EBOLA
The World Health Organization (WHO) and several other UN Agencies
have been implicated in selecting and enticing African countries to
participate in the testing events, promoting vaccinations, but pursuing
various testing regiments. The August 2, 2014 article, West Africa: What
are US Biological Warfare Researchers Doing in the Ebola Zone? by Jon
Rappoport of Global Research pinpoints the problem that is facing
African governments.
Obvious in this and other reports are, among others:
(a) The US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases
(USAMRIID), a well-known centre for bio-war research, located at Fort
Detrick, Maryland;
(b) Tulane University, in New Orleans, USA, winner of research
grants, including a grant of more than $7 million the National Institute
of Health (NIH) to fund research with the Lassa viral hemorrhagic
fever;
(c) the US Center for Disease Control (CDC);
(d) Doctors Without Borders (also known by its French name, Medicins Sans Frontiers);
(e) Tekmira, a Canadian pharmaceutical company;
(f) The UK’s GlaxoSmithKline; and
(g) the Kenema Government Hospital in Kenema, Sierra Leone.
Reports narrate stories of the US Department of Defense (DoD)
funding Ebola trials on humans, trials which started just weeks before
the Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone. The reports continue and
state that the DoD gave a contract worth $140 million dollars to
Tekmira, a Canadian pharmaceutical company, to conduct Ebola research.
This research work involved injecting and infusing healthy humans with
the deadly Ebola virus. Hence, the DoD is listed as a collaborator in a
“First in Human” Ebola clinical trial (NCT02041715, which started in
January 2014 shortly before an Ebola epidemic was declared in West
Africa in March. Disturbingly, many reports also conclude that the US
government has a viral fever bioterrorism research laboratory in Kenema,
a town at the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The only
relevant positive and ethical olive-branch seen in all of my reading is
that Theguardian.com reported, “The US government funding of Ebola
trials on healthy humans comes amid warnings by top scientists in
Harvard and Yale that such virus experiments risk triggering a worldwide
pandemic.” That threat still persists.
4. THE NEED FOR LEGAL ACTION TO OBTAIN REDRESS FOR DAMAGES
INCURRED DUE TO THE PERPETUATION OF INJUSTICE IN THE DEATH, INJURY AND
TRAUMA IMPOSED ON LIBERIANS AND OTHER AFRICANS BY THE EBOLA AND OTHER
DISEASE AGENTS.
The U. S., Canada, France, and the U. K. are all implicated in the
detestable and devilish deeds that these Ebola tests are. There is the
need to pursue criminal and civil redress for damages, and African
countries and people should secure legal representation to seek damages
from these countries, some corporations, and the United Nations.
Evidence seems abundant against Tulane University, and suits should
start there. Yoichi Shimatsu’s article, The Ebola Breakout Coincided
with UN Vaccine Campaigns, as published on August 18, 2014, in the
Liberty Beacon.
5. AFRICAN LEADERS AND AFRICAN COUNTRIES NEED TO TAKE THE LEAD
IN DEFENDING BABIES, CHILDREN, AFRICAN WOMEN, AFRICAN MEN, AND THE
ELDERLY. THESE CITIZENS DO NOT DESERVE TO BE USED AS GUINEA PIGS!
Africa must not relegate the Continent to become the locality for
disposal and the deposition of hazardous chemicals, dangerous drugs, and
chemical or biological agents of emerging diseases. There is urgent
need for affirmative action in protecting the less affluent of poorer
countries, especially African citizens, whose countries are not as
scientifically and industrially endowed as the United States and most
Western countries, sources of most viral or bacterial GMOs that are
strategically designed as biological weapons. It is most disturbing that
the U. S. Government has been operating a viral hemorrhagic fever
bioterrorism research laboratory in Sierra Leone. Are there others?
Wherever they exist, it is time to terminate them. If any other sites
exist, it is advisable to follow the delayed but essential step: Sierra
Leone closed the US bioweapons lab and stopped Tulane University for
further testing.
The world must be alarmed. All Africans, Americans, Europeans,
Middle Easterners, Asians, and people from every conclave on Earth
should be astonished. African people, notably citizens more particularly
of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone are victimized and are dying every
day. Listen to the people who distrust the hospitals, who cannot shake
hands, hug their relatives and friends. Innocent people are dying, and
they need our help. The countries are poor and cannot afford the whole
lot of personal protection equipment (PPE) that the situation requires.
The threat is real, and it is larger than a few African countries. The
challenge is global, and we request assistance from everywhere,
including China, Japan, Australia, India, Germany, Italy, and even
kind-hearted people in the U.S., France, the U.K., Russia, Korea, Saudi
Arabia, and anywhere else whose desire is to help. The situation is
bleaker than we on the outside can imagine, and we must provide
assistance however we can. To ensure a future that has less of this kind
of drama, it is important that we now demand that our leaders and
governments be honest, transparent, fair, and productively engaged. They
must answer to the people. Please stand up to stop Ebola testing and
the spread of this dastardly disease.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cyril E. Broderick, Sr.

‘Liberians Won’t Be Used as Guinea Pigs’ For Ebola Trial Drugs not Approved
Wed, 10/22/2014 - 00:29 admin
Health Products Regulatory Authority Warns
By:
Alaskai Moore Johnson, Observer Health Correspondent
The Liberia Medicines & Health Products Regulatory Authority (LMHRA) has strongly warned pharmaceutical companies and others, who are trying to bring in “Ebola drugs/medicines,” for trial purposes, that Liberians won’t be used as Guinea pigs.
LMHRA, which released a statement yesterday, is the Government of Liberia’s arm that has the statutory mandate to review and approve all clinical trials involving medicines and health products in the country.
The Health Products Regulatory body said that “while we are seeking for all the help needed to eradicate this virus, we also want to be very careful as to what medicines are brought into the country for treatment at our various ETUs.”
In the wake of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in the country that has claimed the lives of thousands of Liberians and other nationals, LMHRA said many “unapproved and unlicensed medicines have begun to line up as trial treatments for Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the country. In the midst of this situation, it has become necessary that the process of clinical trials be properly guided by policies and procedures for the safeguard of the population.”
The health regulatory body said it has been forced to speak out having read in a local newspaper that a purported Ebola treatment drug, Eboflip, has arrived in the country for trial on patients at ETUs.
“Eboflip, which is said to be indicated for the treatment of the Ebola Virus Disease, has no information on its pre-clinical safety data,” LMHRA said.
Pre-clinical safety data, according to LMHRA, is when a drug has been pre-tested on a lower class animal like monkey and its data recorded before it can be tested on humans.
The LMHRA said for the Eboflip to be tested in Liberia, a “Clinical Trial Proposal” has to be submitted to it but “up to the time of this press statement, there has been no Clinical Trial Proposal submitted to the LMHRA. The LMHRA further stated that Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Bernice Dahn, whom the newspaper claims had given “authorization” for the drug trial, denied ever doing so.
The LMHRA Managing Director, Pharmacist David Sumo said: “We would like to use this medium to inform the Eurofarmacos that, there are procedures and guidelines for clinical trials that must be followed by any institution wishing to carry out any of such activities.”
Eboflip is manufactured by Eurofarmacos Group Europe, a Spanish biotechnology company.
In a release posted on the company’s website, it announced that 20 days ago, it “donated to the Government of Liberia, to carry out clinical trials of immediate form a novel anti-viral treatment against EBOLA, the ‘EBOFLIP.’”
Eurofarmacos Group Europe’s statement quotes its president, Dr. José Manuel Frias, as saying, “We don't have the slightest doubt that, in a record time of not more than 40 days, we will make public the news of the results obtained and if they are consistent enough to ensure ultimate control of the EBOLA pandemic.”
Dr. Frias also disclosed that his company has currently prepared 30,000 treatments and has a production capacity of 500,000 monthly treatments.
“Fortunately, the news arriving from Liberia, not only affirm the effectiveness of the ‘EBOFLIP’, but they do it in just 15 days of treatment, which significantly increases the hope that this treatment if it is the solution to this pandemic, which keeps all countries of the world in check,” Said Dr. Frias
A health practitioner, who asked that his name not be mentioned, criticized the health regulatory body for playing double standard. He stated that LMHRA did not sound the same alarm when the famous ZMAPP was allegedly brought into the country without pre-clinical safety data, but was allowed to be tested on patients. One of those patients was the late Dr. Abraham Borbor, who died at the ELWA-2 ETU. This health worker also wonders whether the LMHRA has the technology to determine if the drug is fit for human consumption.

Satanism Tied With Modern Christianity
There's really not a big difference from satanism to the modern day christian
beliefs. Neither follow the Holy Days of the bible instead both follow the same pagan days of worship like: Christmas, Easter, Valentines Day and Thanksgiving. Neither follow the laws, statues and commandments of the bible and they would agree the the laws are done away with. What I'm saying is follow the laws, statues and
commandments and stop saying through grace i can do all things and
repent; when it tells you in Hebrews 10:26 that if we sin willfully
after knowing the truth/ knowing better there's no more sacrifice for
sins. Also, in Matthews 5:17 it states and this is Christ writings that
he didn't come to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfill. So he
didn't abolish Moses laws nor the new testament laws from the prophets.
Matthew 5:7 tells us that Christ was the lamb sacrificed for our sins
and that's why we don't do sacrifices according to the new testament and
in our present day. That doesn't mean that you don't have to follow the
laws anymore. Let's get away from this christian teaching on the rapture when scripture tells us that those that are left behind are the blessed ones. How can the christian doctrine be validated when they say the laws in the old testament are done away with, but say you should follow the 10 commandments which are in the old testament and still break those 10 commandments. Even though there are really like 624 commandments in the bible. They don't honour the sabbath (the 7th day) which is Saturday and say we worship everyday which the bible speaks nothing of doing. It also says thou shall not make any graven image in which we have this Caucasian man as Christ which the bible doesn't solidify in Revelations 1:18 and Daniel 10:6. Also, it says let us not make anything in the likeness of the heavens; that would be pottery angels that are in your living room. That's an idol. And last but not least the cross in which you held so dear is also an idol. When you go to church is not the cross in the center of the pulpit? And the pews face you toward the cross so when you bow your head to pray your praying directly to the cross... Is that by chance? Ahayah already knew what our condition was going to be in this time of peril. Deuteronomy 28:64 states that well be serving other gods that our forefathers haven't known and serving wood and stone. That would be you cross for Christianity and your stone for Muslim (Kaaba stone). Let's teach the people correct and not things that are
not true according to scripture.

Flu Shot May Lead to Ebola
Please Don't Get Flu Shots!! Ebola is Human made and can only be given through injection and/or when the host is showing symptoms of sickness putting the virus at an contagious state. Please be aware that your Government might not be worried about your well-being
Do Women Cover Their Heads According to the Bible?
Does the bible speak of women covering ones head to pray or read scriptures? Does the bible tell men to not cover their heads while praying or reading scriptures?
"Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head" (I Corinthians 11:4). In Greek this is: kata (on) kephales (head) echon (having); that is, having something on his head.
"But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved" (I Corinthians 11:5). In Greek this is: akatakalupto (uncovered) te (with the) kephale (head).
"For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered" (I Corinthians 11:6). In Greek, the first phrase is: ou (not) katakaluptetai (covered). The second phrase is a single Greek word: katakaluptestho (let her be covered).
"For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man" (I Corinthians 11:7). In the Greek this is: katakaluptesthai (to have covered) ten (the) kephalen (head).
"For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels" (I Corinthians 11:10). In the Greek this is: epi (on) tes (the) kephales (head).
"Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered" (I Corinthians 11:13). In the Greek this is: akatakalupton (uncovered) to (with).
"But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering" (I Corinthians 11:15). In the Greek this is: peribolaiou (of a covering).
These are just the verses that mention a covering in some way. Notice that there are three ways it is mentioned:
So our main concern is the definition of katakalupto. The word means to cover or hide. It is actually a compound word: kata (an intensifier) and kalupto (hide or conceal). It was used in the Septuagint in Numbers 22:5, "See, they cover the face of the earth." Or, "You shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy" (Exodus 26:34). Or, "Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew" (Isaiah 6:2). In the New Testament, the word is used exclusively in I Corinthians 11, and as pointed out it is something that is put on, or in the negative cases, taken off. It is not the hair itself because if a woman refuses to cover her head, Paul says she should also shave her head.
In I Corinthians 11:15, a different Greek word is used, peribolaiou. It refers to a cloak or garment that is thrown around to put on. It is also used in Hebrews 1:12, "Like a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be changed."
You referenced: "Unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away" (II Corinthians 3:13). That word is kaluma which also means to cover, hide, or conceal. It is a different word and really doesn't help explain I Corinthians 11. Notice also that Moses covered his face, but I Corinthians speaks of covering the head.
"Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head" (I Corinthians 11:4). In Greek this is: kata (on) kephales (head) echon (having); that is, having something on his head.

These are just the verses that mention a covering in some way. Notice that there are three ways it is mentioned:
- Having something on the head (I Corinthians 11:4, 10).
- Having the head covered, not covered, or uncovered (I Corinthians 11:5, 6, 7, 13)
- Having a covering (I Corinthians 11:15)
So our main concern is the definition of katakalupto. The word means to cover or hide. It is actually a compound word: kata (an intensifier) and kalupto (hide or conceal).
