Thousands of poor disabled men and women could lose their only source of income because of a change in government policy that will allow states to seize every penny of federal benefits from people who owe back child support. An estimated 275,000 people could be left destitute as a result of this change. The Treasury Department decided to pay all benefits electronically starting next year, including Social Security, disability and veteran's benefits. Another Treasury Department rule in place gives states the power to freeze the bank accounts of people who collect federal benefits and owe child support. The new policy allowing collection of every penny of federal benefits could cause thousands of poor and disabled to lose their only income. Johnson Tyler, a lawyer who represents poor and disabled people who collect federal benefits said, "It's going to be a nightmare here in about a year unless something changes," reported WashingtonPost.com.
A lot of child support arrears add up when people lose their jobs, become disabled, or possibly incarcerated at an earlier time period. Back child support often accrues in extenuating circumstances, not in every case, but in many cases, and much of the balance later includes interest, which varies from state to state. When large lump sums are owed, often the children are grown and the monies collected go to the county because welfare benefits were expended for the children. Whatever happened in the past, it is of no consequence to the federal government - they will collect. Previously in California, child support agencies could collect 50% of these benefits, which was often devastating at that. Now that the government intends to collect 100% of federal benefits from the disabled and poor, you are going to see catastrophic economic effects in the lives of these people. No doubt, many will end up on food stamps and in tents or in shelters. This collection effort is really self defeating and actually very stupid, in that while the federal government has provided a way to recoup some welfare benefits expended in the past, a whole new group of people are going to end up on food stamps and other government programs on account of this new policy.
Assuming people can't be that dumb (we'll try to give them some benefit of the doubt), this appears to be more like a strategy to bring about a "welfare state" on purpose. Socialist governments create economic situations which actually push the population into welfare dependency, which is exactly what you see here.
**** If you owe child support and collect Social Security, disability or veteran's benefits, do not have your benefits deposited electronically into a bank account. Request your benefits by paper check and spend the extra money to cash it at a check-cashing vendor, and keep your money out of the bank. It is inconvenient, but far better than having your bank account frozen, having all of your income seized and ending up destitute. ****

At the President's campaign fund raising
event, Michelle Obama is quoted as saying, "If a family in this
country is struggling, we cannot be satisfied with our own families'
good fortune." This sounds so wonderful, if only there wasn't something
very sinister behind that message: a loss of freedoms in this country - a
lot of freedoms. As egotistic as
Vladimir Putin is (Russian Prime Minister - nominated president for
2012 elections), he has recently warned President Obama not to proceed
with a socialist government in America, saying, "Learn from Russian
history," regarding the mistakes made with a socialist government and its ultimate demise.
There's
another incidental problem with Michelle Obama's rhetoric about
"sharing the wealth" - her uncontrollable spending! Although this fact
is ignored by most liberal news media, several news sites have reported
that Michelle Obama's recent tour of Africa cost the American taxpayers
nearly half a million dollars, that's just for the flights. Sources
inside the White House have stated that the First Lady's vacations this
past year have cost taxpayers $10 million dollars - just vacations. Her visit to Africa,
with a huge entourage following her, cost $424,142 just in flight
expenses! This didn't include food, lodging, or ground transportation
for her 21 family and staff members. This was just one of her trips during the past year. With our national debt over $14 trillion and
people advancing to tent cities all over the nation (see those on the News Videos page of this website), with the
unemployment rate over 9% (the real statistics are much higher, because this
figure only includes those who have applied for unemployment benefits;
there are many more not receiving unemployment!)
Now
that we
have only a tiny little taste of Michelle Obama's spending, let's look
at just a tiny fraction of the President's spending on his dear friends,
the Muslims. He sent $770 million, yes that's right, $770 MILLION
dollars
to refurbish and decorate mosques in the Middle East, ah yes, those are
the same ones who sent people here to kill over 3,000 of us and down
our Twin Towers financial metropolis in New York. Earlier this year, he
stated we would give $2 million dollars to oil-rich Egypt, and at the
G8 Summit, he pledged $3 billion to Arab Spring nations! Hmmm, let's
remember
now, we have tent cities throughout America and
they are growing by leaps and bounds, but the Muslim maniacs who want to
annihilate us get $770
million dollars, after killing thousands of us and spewing hate speeches
against America and Israel throughout the Middle East. Sin is truly
insanity. The Bible says, "Do
you not know that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his
servants you are to whom you obey, whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16. In other words, when
people give in to sin and do not obey the Lord, they are servants of
the devil - like it or not; it is as simple as that. If you don't live
for God, you are living for the devil by default. I have no problem
saying the man has lost his mind to the
devil.

A
major 6.7 earthquake hit southwestern Siberia, Russia on Sunday,
February 26, 2012,
at 06:17:19 UTC, at a depth of 11.7 km (7.3 mi). A false messiah by the
name of Vissarion lives near the border of southwestern Siberia in
Krasnoyarsk (en.wikipedia.org). He has as many as an estimated 50,000
followers in this very remote part of Siberia. God is not pleased with
this fellow one bit!
Jesus said these
signs would appear before He returns, "Nation
will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be
famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7.
You may have noticed that the frequent earthquakes throughout the world are hitting in various places. This is exactly what Jesus said would happen. Also,
many of the earthquakes over the last year have hit off coasts, not
directly under inhabited lands. The Lord is issuing warnings for people
to pray, receive Him and prepare to meet their God; but He is also
showing mercy at this time, in that many have not hit lands and there
have been minimal casualties compared with the magnitude of shaking going on. The graph below shows the drastic
increase in earthquake activity
between 2010 and 2011 (look closely at the 2011 increase on the graph
near the border).

You say it can't happen in the United States? It is happening in other parts of the world right now. Do
you remember the Great Depression? The Bible tells us that what is
coming is far worse than anything that has ever happened in the world
before (Matthew 24:21)! It is going to happen, just as hundreds of
other Bible prophecies have already come to pass. The only escape is
through surrender to God and trusting in Him. Jesus will return for His
people soon, according to the prophecies.
At least one state in the union is taking
the impending Apocalypse seriously. Wyoming legislators have created
the "doomsday" bill to determine ways and means for the state to handle
economic and political chaos. The bill passed the Wyoming House on
Friday. It calls for a special task force to develop strategies to
handle extreme emergencies such as a food shortage and government
shutdown. The bills suggests Wyoming form its own army and issue its
own currency. The named task force would include the head of Wyoming's
Department of Homeland Security, the State Attorney General and state
lawmakers. The bill must pass two additional House votes before it goes
to the Senate, reported Huffington Post.
Christians who believe
in Bible truths, such as the impending Apocalypse and the return of
Christ are generally considered to be fanatics. I imagine the
seriousness of this bill will open a few eyes. There is a lot to be
said about the creation of such a bill, which is not being said in the
mainstream media. Wyoming legislators are bracing for what's coming
down the pike and you have to know that if Wyoming is making plans to
establish their own army and currency, they know what Christians have
realized from Bible prophecy for quite some time. "He causes all, both
small and great, rich and poor, free and bond to receive a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads, so no man can buy or sell, except he
who had the mark, the name of the beast (the world dictator -
Antichrist), or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who
has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of
a man and his number is six hundred, sixty-six" Revelation 13:16-18.

Arutz
Sheva (excerpts): Dozens of riot police were deployed to quell a
Muslim riot on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City on Friday.
Israel Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said more than 100 Muslims
began throwing rocks at a police location following Friday prayers,
prompting the police to enter the compound. Police said they used stun
grenades against the demonstrators and that "dozens of people" had
barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa mosque. "We are negotiating
with the Israelis not to storm into the mosque or the Dome of the Rick
and to let people out," Sheikh Azzam al-Khatib, head of the Jerusalem
Waqf, told AFP. He blamed the Israeli government for the rioting and
claimed they will "bear the consequences," adding "We demand that no
settlers, radicals or soldiers enter the mosque to avoid friction."
Much
of the tension follows on the heels of an unconfirmed report published
by the Al Aqsa Center earlier this week claiming Israel plans to divide
the Temple Mount into separate Jewish and Muslim sections, in the same
way that the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron is divided.
Friday's
riot is only the latest in a series of clashes with police, and attacks
on Jewish and Christian pilgrims by Muslims on the Temple Mount this
week. On Thursday, police arrested seven Arabs who instigated a series
of confrontations with Jewish visitors on the Temple Mount in
Jerusalem's Old City. On Tuesday, Muslims on the Temple Mount hurled
stones and shoes at police escorting Jewish and Christian visitors. One
police officer sustained minor injuries. Two Muslims were arrested in
that incident, police said. On Sunday, police used tear gas to disperse
Muslim rioters who were throwing stones inside the compound, arresting
18 people.
The
Temple Mount is the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque since 705 AD. However,
long before that, it was the site of the First Holy Temple, built by
King Solomon, which stood at that site from ~950 BC to 587 BC, and the
Second Holy Temple, from 517 BC to 70 AD, and is indisputably Judaism's
most sacred site. The
Muslim Waqf, the religious Muslim authority, has systematically
attempted to destroy all archaeological evidence of earlier Jewish
presence on the Mount, illegally excavating and destroying priceless and
irreplaceable relics. Israeli archaeologists and volunteers sift
painstakingly through the debris of the excavations, finding artifacts
that are then transferred to Israeli museums. The Muslim Waqf was
alloweed to manage the site after Israel succeeded liberating the Temple
Mount in 1967, at the suggestion of then Defense Minister Moshe Dayan.
It maintains a discriminatory policy seeking to bar Jews entry to the
site. The Israeli police, afraid of riots, allow Jewish worshipers to
be discriminated against to the point of not being allowed to even
whisper prayers on the Mount.
Commentary:
Let's just call that, "Dome of the Rock Throwers (couldn't resist
that). There's no doubt that the reports of Israel planning to divide
the Temple Mount are absolutely true. During the Sukkot festival in
2006, Uri Ariel, a National Union member of the Knesset, ascended the
Mount and said that he is preparing a plan where a synagogue will be
built on the Mount, apart from the location of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
There has also been much talk among the Sanhedrin and The Temple
Institute about reconstruction of the Temple. In fact, all of the
Temple artifacts have been recreated, as well as the priests garments,
altars, Menorah, all implements required. The Temple Institute has been
training Levites for the priestly duties for a number of years
already. In fact, they have announced that once the Temple is built,
they are equipped to begin priestly duties and required sacrifices. The
Bible refers to a latter days Temple in Daniel
9:27 and 2 Thessalonians 2:4. "Let no man deceive you by any means,
for that day (the return of Christ) will not come except there be a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposes and
exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so
that he, as God, sits in the Temple of God, showing himself to be God" 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4.
This prophecy has not been fulfilled yet, but as you can see, Paul refers to a latter days Temple. As all other Biblical prophecies to date, the prophecy of the third
Temple will come to pass, it is only a matter of time - a relatively
short period of time at that. Since Israel became a nation in 1948
(against all odds), then recaptured Jerusalem (against all odds), we can
see the prophetic clock winding down to Christ's return right before our eyes!

The penalty for returning to the US, after having been convicted of a felony and being deported is 20 YEARS IN PRISON. Some of these undocumented migrants are extremely dangerous. Of course, Obama doesn't live near the US/Mexican border with his wife and two daughters, so what does he care?
Local police officers around the country have trained with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to act as their agencies' immigration officers. Unlike regular police officers and other government agents, these officers can check the immigration status of suspects and place immigration holds on them if they are found here illegally. The Obama administration is starting to shut down the program, however. The 287(g) Program peaked under President George W. Bush, as 60 local agencies signed contracts with ICE. The sign-up slowed significantly under President Obama. Only eight agencies signed up since he took office and none have joined since August 2010, reported Fox Nation.
This is just the beginning of the alignment of nations within a New World Order including the SPP (Security Prosperity Partnership of North America), an alignment of Canada, the United States and Mexico. Although this alliance is downplayed in the media, the underlying goal is socialism. Since a North American Union alliance was conceived, no one has pushed any harder than Obama for this union of nations. It plays right into his ideology of big government control and socialism. Every which way you look at his administration, you see this push and government takeover like no other US president before him. His disregard and even disdain for our sovereign borders, the independence of America and the Constitution is unprecedented. This is a precursor to Daniel's prophecy (9:27), 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 13, in that nations will all be unified under the dictatorship of the Antichrist in these last days.

A
cheerleading coach at a West Side high school in Chicago was stabbed
while trying to break up a fight and is in serious, but stable
condition. She was stabbed in the chest and suffered a punctured lung
just outside of the Al Raby School for Community and Environment.
Aiesha Bush was trying to break up a fight among several female
students, when she said she suddenly felt short-winded, reported ABC
Chicago. She said, "I looked at my hand and it was full of blood. From
that point, there was nothing else I could do." A 16-year-old girl has
been charged in the stabbing. Since students are scanned by metal
detectors prior to entering the school, police believe the suspect may
have hidden the weapon outside and then retrieved it once the fight
started.
The
Bible says, "Know this, that in the last days perilous times shall
come. Men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents (indicative of kids gone wild), unthankful,
unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady,
high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God" 2 Timothy
3:1-4.
Bibles were used as curriculum when American
schools were started. The Bibles have all been removed; prayer at the
beginning of class has been removed; and children are being taught they
evolved from apes, with no regard for God or His laws, and not much
focus in the way of moral standards; so is it any wonder children are
trying to kill one another at school? Things like this just didn't
happen, or possibly on an extremely rare occasion, prior to the 60s,
after prayer was removed from schools. Now, hardly a day goes by
without violence and death in American schools. You would think
legislators and school officials could see the decline once prayer was
removed and the apes were brought in. The Bible says, "Jesus's
disciples said to Him, 'Did you know that the Pharisees (religious
leaders) were offended by your teachings?' Jesus said, 'Leave them
alone; they are blind leaders of the blind, and if the blind lead the
blind, both will fall into a ditch.'" Matthew 15:12,14. It is
time to seek God and pray, friends. The Word of God tells us things
will not get better, only far worse, as the Day of the Lord approaches.

The
former United States Ambassador to the
United Nations, John Bolton, spoke on Fox News today about an upcoming
visit by Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to the White House. He explained why he
believes that the visit between Netanyahu and Obama is going to be a
"very unpleasant one." He said the White House
is sending US officials to Israel in advance of the meeting scheduled
March 5th. Obama sent General Martin Dempsey, US National Security
Adviser Thomas Danilon and Director of Intelligence Tom Clapper, which
are all unremitting attempts at dissuading Israel from attacking Iran.
It is more like "an invasion plan of the United States invading Israel,
as opposed to dealing with the real problem, which is Iran," he said.
"The reason you see these officials going to the region is they are
telling Prime Minister Netanyahu that he 'better give President Obama
the answer he wants to hear' during their meeting, which is that Israel
will not attack Iran. Netanyahu is not going to say that," Bolton
said. "Iran's most valuable commodity is time. All they need is just a
little bit more time and then they can get nuclear weapons," he said.
Obama is treading on thin ice with God Almighty. The Bible says, "I
(God) will bless those who bless you (Israel) and curse him who curses
you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed" Genesis
12:3. If
he has ever read one word of the Bible, he should know that Israel is
going to win any way you look at it, because God is on their side! He's
kicking against a brick wall, plus, according to the Word of God, he is
bringing a curse on himself.

Youcef Nadarkani visited by his wife in prison (2010 photo).A
Christian pastor in Iran was sentenced to death in 2010 for "apostasy"
for not recanting his faith in Christ. The country is 98% Muslim and,
according to the Muslim faith, one can be sentenced to death for
defecting from Islam. Youcef has been a Christian pastor in Iran for
ten years and states he was never a Muslim, although his parents are
Muslim. If your parents are Muslim, according to Sharia law, you are
considered a Muslim regardless of what you say or if you deny that
fact. According to the American Center for Law and Justice, Pastor
Nadarkhani may have received a final execution order for not recanting,
subsequent to his appeal to the Iranian Supreme Court in September,
reported HuffingtonPost.com.
There
you have it; this is Sharia law. This is what Muslims stand for.
Instead of declaring war on Iran for threatening the United States and
Israel, and for killing innocent people on a continuous basis in Iran,
Obama is actually bringing Muslims into the United States by the tens of
thousands! If you are beguiled enough to vote for Obama during the
presidential election, don't complain or whine about it when they star
overrunning the United States with the help of Obama. The Bible says, "Don't be deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners" 1 Corinthians 15:33.
One reason I know Obama is not a Christian, is because he is so
defensive of and connected to these vile maniacs. Another reason I know
Obama is not a Christian is because he said he believes there are many
ways to heaven. That comment is evil and antichrist, thus Obama is
evil. Jesus Himself said that He is the only way, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father, except by Me'" John 14:6. Jesus said to the church leaders and lawyers of his day, "Woe
to you scribes (lawyers) and Pharisees (church hierarchy), hypocrites!
You shut up the kingdom of heaven against men (you don't allow people
to come to God); you don't go in yourselves and you don't allow anyone
else to enter in either" Matthew 23:13. Woe to you scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! You compass sea and land to gain one convert and
when you have him among you, you make him twice the child of hell (yes,
He said hell!) than
yourselves...You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape
the damnation of hell? (yep, He said it to them again!)" Matthew
23:15. Jesus said it - I'm going to say it: Obama, unless he truly repents and gets saved, is going to split hell
wide open. The same goes for Muslims that are killing innocent people
in the name of their fake god! I'm going to add the members of the do-nothing, good-for-nothing
United Nations, who idly stand by and not only do nothing, but they
keep the nation of Iran as a member nation of the UN, while Iran is
killing Christians and other innocent people, committing crimes against
humanity!
The
United Nations has a "Conduct and Discipline Team." Right! The
president of Iran, Ahmadinejad, threatens to wipe Israel off the face of
the map publicly, and he has even said "Israel is a cancer" at the
United Nations meetings! Where is the "Conduct and Discipline Team"
when you need them??" They do nothing, very
much like the rest of the factions at the UN. They also have a
"Division for Palestinian Rights" at the United Nations. Africa doesn't
have a division for their rights; American doesn't have a division for
their rights; Japan doesn't have a division for their rights...no other nation
has a division for their rights, except Palestine! Why? you might ask;
because the UN is antisemitic and most of their members (who pay a
million dollars a year to be members) hate Israel - so that's just fine with the UN - oops, UUN (we don't want to leave out Useless).

Seattle:
An eight-year old girl was shot in the stomach by another 3rd grade
student and was in critical condition on Wednesday. One of her
classmates is being held in the shooting that occurred at Armin Jahr
Elementary School near Seattle. The third-grader underwent emergency
surgery Wednesday afternoon, and police said a third-grade boy is being
questioned in the shooting. The boy apparently shot the girl and a gun
was found in a classroom, but the police have provided no further
details, reported HuffingtonPost.com.
School
shooting statistics in the US are staggering. There were 9 incidents
and 14 deaths in the 1980s; 30 incidents and 64 deaths in the 1990s; and
70 incidents and 120 deaths in the 2000s - to date (source:
eu.wikipedia.org/wiki/school_shooting. The Bible says, "Know this, that in the last days perilous times will come" 2 Timothy 3:1.
I
home schooled my son in the 1980s because I didn't believe schools were
safe at that time. I also didn't agree with the fact that schools were
still instructing children that we evolved from monkeys. This is not
only contrary to the Word of God, but evolution is a mathematical
impossibility, according to renowned mathematicians (source:
www.thetrumpet.com/?q=595.0.41.0&preview). Finally, but most
importantly, I didn't want agnostics or atheists teaching my child all
day; God has given that responsibility to the parents, according to the
Bible (Deuteronomy 11:18-19).
Now, we are living in the last days, before the return of Christ, and
it is particularly dangerous to send your child to public school. If
you would like more information on home education, please visit the Home
Education page of this website. * Some people are single parents and
it may not be possible to home educate, or send your child(ren) to
Christian school. God will certainly keep your children safe when you
pray over them daily and follow-through at home. If possible, it may be
time to solicit the help of family or friends to facilitate home
education. When we pray and trust in Him, God will lead us and He will
make a way. God bless you.
