High Put Option Volume---Sign Of The Tipping Point???

High Put Option Volume
Signaling The Coming Tipping Point?

Over the past few days and weeks, I have scoured through the Internet looking for information regarding a potential 'Tipping Point' as it is being signaled by the Webbot Software. I have posted any relevant information on this blog, that would possibly lead one to believe that just such an event is headed our way.
A few days ago I posted information regarding rising insider trading that seems to be reminiscent of the pre 911 insider trading that occurred. I have also attached a video with information regarding this historic and peculiar trading anomaly.
Today, there again seems to be something 'fishy' goin on, as they would say down here in the good ol' South.
Asides from the massive insider selling that seems to be picking up speed over the past few weeks, the following information also points to huge Put Option volume on particular stocks. I have only included the top 4, but I have provided the link to demonstrate the top 100 current put options by volume that seem to also indicate that some in the know are expecting these companies to nose dive for some particular reason.
If you pay close attention to all 100, a general theme seems to become apparent. The vast majority of these stocks all deal with Technology. Others are Bank, Insurance, Communications, Auto, Energy, and even the Las Vegas Sands is included.
It appears, from carefully analyzing this extensive list, that these are all companies and industries that would most be affected by either some cyber attack, or even an EMP.
It would also appear that through the process of the Hegelian dialectic, the powers that be have created or generated enough anger and hate in the country to once again tip the scales of power to the other party (under their control also), there by ensuring that after this false flag event occurs, the new party in power will give the all clear to an Iran attack.
Let us be prayerful and vigilant as this world war approaches.

Wall Street Insiders Jumping Ship Like The Rats That They Are!!

It always amazes me to see how the media financial guru types on TV continuously try to sell tickets for seats on a sinking ship. From Bloomberg, to CNN Money, these so called snake oil salesmen/women in the media are constantly highlighting all these imaginary and/or manipulated gov't stats that in someway or another try to convince the public that now is the time to get into the market, all the while they are stampeding over one another off of this sinking ship.

Baby Boomers: Get Out of the Stock Market Now, the Rug is Being Pulled Out By Insiders
by Eric Blair
Activist Post
October 28, 2010
http://www.infowars.com/baby-boomers-get-out-of-the-stock-market-now-the-rug-is-being-pulled-out-by-insiders/

The charade is almost up, as the bad-but-getting-even-worse main street economy is not remotely factored in to Wall Street’s casino calculations.

If you’re a baby boomer who still believes in the stock market since the financial collapse of 2008, listen up. The floor of this Ponzi scheme is about to drop out, leaving you punching a clock for some time to come and holding an empty retirement bag for your effort. The engineered crash is coming and the elite are jumping ship in droves — you should join them and get out ASAP.

Stock market insider selling has now reached record highs. The trend has been increasing for the last several years, but now the ratios are getting beyond ridiculous. Earlier this month, Zero Hedge reported that the insider selling-to-buying ratio is 2341 to 1. Tyler Durden wrote:

After last week saw an insider selling to buying ratio of 1,411 to 1, this week the ratio has nearly doubled, hitting a ridiculous 2,341 to 1. And while Wall Street’s liars and CNBC’s clowns will have you throw all your money into “leading” techs like Oracle and Google, insiders in these names sold a combined $200 million in stock in the last week alone.

Today, CNBC reported that the insider selling activity at some of the largest traded companies is at an all-time high. This can’t be a good sign of things to come. The article points to the analysis of Alan Newman, a market strategist who tracks insider trading: “The overwhelming volume of sell transactions relative to buy transactions by company insiders over the last six months in key leading sectors of the market is the worst . . . ever.” CNBC reported that industry leaders have a staggering 3177 to 1 insider sell-to-buy ratio:

The largest companies in three of the most important leading sectors of the market have seen their executives classified as insiders sell more than 120 million shares of stock over the last six months. Top executives at these very same companies bought just 38,000 shares over that same time period, making for an eye-popping sell to buy ratio of 3,177 to one.

The grand total for the three sectors are “as awful as we have ever seen since we began doing this exercise years ago,” said Newman, who was ahead on such trends as the dangers of high-frequency trading and ETFs before the ‘Flash Crash’. “Clearly, insiders are seeing great value only in cash. Their actions speak volumes for the veracity for the current rally.”

Also quoted in the CNBC piece was Simon Baker, CEO of Baker Asset Management, who said the insider data “is good reason for considerable caution once the price action fades,” and “insiders normally buy early and sell early too. Longer term — 12 months out — it is more of a red flag.”

It’s pretty difficult to excuse these levels of insider looting, but the experts are doing their best to claim that these poor executives (the titans of their industries) must take profits from stock sales because their salaries and bonuses have been cut. Who do they think they are kidding? Wall Street is still paying record salaries and bonuses, reportedly worth $144 billion (about a $1000 for every working American). There also has been very little news of other industry executives taking pay cuts, as American companies are holding record levels of cash to the tune of over a trillion dollars. In fact, the flush-with-cash CEOs continue to blame the consumer class for joblessness.

Despite the mass exodus of executives from their own company’s stock, the S&P continues to remain somewhat stable since gaining 16% from July lows. Well, those gains seem somewhat pathetic since the value of the dollar — measured against the human inflation indexes such as food and oil — has plummeted. Major food commodities are up over 50% since their July lows, while oil prices have climbed $10 to over $81/bbl, or around 14% for the same time period, with predictions to break the $100/bbl mark very shortly.

Barely covering the cost of real inflationary measures is hardly success, especially with the current risks involved with being in the stock market. These risks have only increased since the 2008 financial collapse that eventually caused the stock market to bottom out the mid-6000 range. The market has been propped up with TARP funds and driven by scandalous front-running by Goldman Sachs and other large firms leading to 70% of stock purchases to be held for an average of 11 seconds. Consequently, these robo-trading programs have also been blamed for the freak “Flash Crash” in May where the stock market plummeted over 900 points in just minutes.

The charade is almost up, as the bad-but-getting-even-worse main street economy is not remotely factored in to Wall Street’s casino calculations. Truth is, most states are approaching bankruptcy, unemployment continues to worsen, and yet another major scandal is playing out with Fraudclosure Gate. Newman, the insider trading expert, says, “At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we expect a significant correction.”

Unless you are an ultra-sophisticated trader with access to front-running software, it is time to follow these insiders out of the stock market and into real assets. As the Fed announces plans for QE2, which the stock market actually views as a good thing, the elite seem to be flocking to precious metals, commodities, and large agricultural land purchases on the expectation of an even weaker dollar. This appears to make gold, food, and oil pretty safe bets for the average bloke.

The War Approaches.

The French nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle with air wing on deck

Yesterday it was announced that Bin Laden and reportedly sent out a message,or a warning, to France. The strings are once again being pulled and their favorite (the Illuminati's) puppet is being pulled out from the closet to forewarn of a coming false flag attack that will erupt in a war with Iran.
It is now being reported by PressTV, that a French air craft carrier is en route to the Persian Gulf region to join the other two U.S. carriers that are already there.
It appears that these carriers are in place so that when the false flag occurs, all effort will be made by the Illuminati controlled countries,(NATO), to connect Iran and blame them for this attack.
This is why these aircraft carriers, along with other military hardware is being sent to the region.
Also keep in mind, the Wikileak documents that were also released to further create a case against Iran.
The stage is being set and a world war is very fast approaching.

French warship to join US fleet in PG
Thu Oct 28, 2010 10:33AM
PressTV
France has dispatched a nuclear-powered warship to the Persian Gulf as part of an unprecedented buildup of naval and air power in the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean.


France's Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier is now en route to the region and will arrive there at the end of October, when a quarter of the world's nuclear aircraft carriers will gather in the stratgeic waters.

The French carrier is accompanied by two frigates, an attack submarine, a re-fuelling tanker, 3,000 sailors and 27 aircraft.

"The force would help allied navies fight piracy off the coast of Somalia and send jets to support NATO in the skies above Afghanistan," said the commander of the group, Rear Admiral Jean-Louis Kerignard.

This is while new opinion polls show that a vast majority of the French are against any military presence in Afghanistan and want an immediate withdrawal of troops from the war-torn country.

Charles de Gaulle is to join its two US counterparts already stationed in the waters, that is the nuclear-powered super carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group.

USS Lincoln and USS Truman are currently assigned to the Fifth Fleet's area of responsibility, which encompasses the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the eastern coast of Africa south to Kenya, the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf.

The Fifth is the first fleet established in the post-Cold War period and is in charge of several of the most strategic chokepoints on the planet that is the Suez Canal, the Bab Al Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz.

There are currently over 31 warships docked in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, nineteen of them belonging to the United States.

The recent additions will create a formidable armada covering the Arabian Sea from one end to the other.

France and the United States are among the few countries in the world that posses nuclear weapons. Both are also staunch supporters of Israel and have helped Tel Aviv build its nuclear plant.

The US and its NATO allies are escalating military operations across the area, from Asia to Africa to the Middle East.

The theater of operations has recently broadened from South Asia to the Arabian Peninsula with drone and helicopter attacks in Pakistan and air and cruise missile strikes in Yemen.

Reflections On A Rotten Apple.

In today's modern world, it seems the following essay by G.K. Chesterton, seems to have been written specifically for today's modern societies and the current mess they find themselves in.

It would also seem that when you take into account the surplus of certain things today, and a deficit of other things, it would seem that this essay hits the nail on the head for what ails so much of today's unreasonable world. Where common sense today is not very common, but rather just the opposite, it is senselessnes that seems to be the common trait in today's populations.

Where everything from our financial troubles to our moral absence seems to permeate so much of the world today due precisely to what Chesterton refers to in the following.

Reflections on a Rotten Apple
From "The Well and the Shallows"

By G.K. Chesterton

Our age is obviously the Nonsense Age; the wiser sort of nonsense being provided for the children and the sillier sort of nonsense for the grown-up people. The eighteenth century has been called the Age of Reason; I suppose there is no doubt that the twentieth century is the Age of Unreason. But even that is an understatement. The Age of Reason was nicknamed from a famous rationalist book. [Thomas Paine's 1794- 95.] But the rationalist was not really so much concerned to urge the rational against the irrational; but rather specially to urge the natural against the supernatural. But there is a degree of the unreasonable that would go even beyond the unnatural. It is not merely an incredible tale, but an inconsistent idea. As I pointed out to somebody long ago, it is one thing to believe that a beanstalk scaled the sky, and quite another to believe that fifty-seven beans make five.

For it seems that we live to-day in a world of witchcraft, in which the orchards wither because they prosper, and the multitude of apples on the apple-tree of itself turns them into forbidden fruit, and makes the effort to consume them in every sense fruitless. This is the modern economic paradox, which is called Over-Production, or a glut in the market, and though at first sight it sounds like the wildest fantasy, it is well to realise in what sense it is the most solid of facts. Let it be clearly understood, therefore, that as a description of the objective social situation at this instant in this industrial society, the paradox is perfectly true. But it is not really true that the contradiction in terms is true. If we take it, not as a description but as a definition, if we take it as a matter of abstract argument, then certainly the contradiction is untrue, as every contradiction is untrue.

The truth is that a third element has entered into the matter, which is not mentioned in this abstract statement of it. That element might be stated in many ways; perhaps the shortest statement of it is in the fable of the man who sold razors, and afterwards explained to an indignant customer, with simple dignity, that he had never said the razors would shave. When asked if razors were not made to shave, he replied that they were made to sell. That is A Short History of Trade and Industry During the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries.

God made a world of reason as sure as God made little apples (as the beautiful proverb goes); and God did not make little apples larger than large apples. It is not true that a man whose apple-tree is loaded with apples will suffer from a want of apples; though he may indulge in a waste of apples. But if he never looks upon apples as things to eat, but always looks on them as things to sell, he will really get into another sort of complication; which may end in a sort of contradiction. If, instead of producing as many apples as he wants, he produces as many apples as he imagines the whole world wants, with the hope of capturing the trade of the whole world - then he will be either successful or unsuccessful in competing with the man next door who also wants the whole world's trade to himself. Between them, they will produce so many apples that apples in the market will be about as valuable as pebbles on the beach. Thus each of them will find he has very little money in his pocket, with which to go and buy fresh pears at the fruiterer's shop. If he had never expected to get fruit at the fruiterer's shop, but had put up his hand and pulled them off his own tree, his difficulty would never have arisen. It seems simple; but at the root of all apple-trees and apple-growing, it is really as simple as that.

Of course I do not mean that the practice is at present simple; for no practical problem is simple, least of all at the present time, when everything is confused by the corrupt and evasive muddlers who are called practical politicians. But the principle is simple; and the only way to proceed through a complex situation is to start with the right first principle. How far we can do without, or control, or merely modify the disadvantages of buying and selling is quite another matter. But the disadvantages do arise from buying and selling, and not from producing: not even from over-producing. And it is some satisfaction to realise that we are not living in a nightmare in which No is the same as Yes; that even the modern world has not actually gone mad, with all its ingenious attempts to do so; that two and two do in fact make four; and that the man who has four apples really has more than the man who has three. For some modern metaphysicians and moral philosophers seem disposed to leave us in doubt on these points. It is not the fundamental reason in things that is at fault; it is a particular hitch or falsification, arising from a very recent trick of regarding everything only in relation to trade. Trade is all very well in its way, but Trade has been put in the place of Truth. Trade, which is in its nature a secondary or dependent thing, has been treated as a primary and independent thing; as an absolute. The moderns, mad upon mere multiplication, have even made a plural out of what is eternally singular, in the sense of single. They have taken what all ancient philosophers called the Good, and translated it as the Goods.

I believe that certain mystics, in the American business world, protested against the slump by pinning labels to their coats inscribed, Trade Is Good," along with other similar proclamations, such as, "Capone Is Dead," or "Cancer Is Pleasant," or "Death Is Abolished," or any other hard realistic truths for which they might find space upon their persons. But what interests me about these magicians is that, having decided to call up ideal conditions by means of spells and incantations to control the elements, they did not (so to speak) understand the elements of the elements. They did not go to the root of the matter, and imagine that their troubles had really come to an end. Rather they worshipped the means instead of the end. While they were about it, they ought to have said, not "Trade Is Good," but "Living Is Good," or "Life Is Good." I suppose it would be too much to expect such thoroughly respectable people to say, "God Is Good"; but it is really true that their conception of what is good lacks the philosophical finality that belonged to the goodness of God. When God looked on created things and saw that they were good, it meant that they were good in themselves and as they stood; but by the modern mercantile idea, God would only have looked at them and seen that they were The Goods. In other words, there would be a label tied to the tree or the hill, as to the hat of the Mad Hatter, with "This Style, 10/6." All the flowers and birds would be ticketed with their reduced prices; all the creation would be for sale or all the creatures seeking employment; with all the morning stars making sky-signs together and all the Sons of God shouting for jobs. In other words, these people are incapable of imagining any good except that which comes from bartering something for something else. The idea of a man enjoying a thing in itself, for himself, is inconceivable to them. The notion of a man eating his own apples off his own apple-tree seems like a fairy-tale. Yet the fall from that first creation that was called good has very largely come from the restless impatience for valuing things in themselves; the madness of the trader who cannot see any good in a good, except as something to get rid of. It was once admitted that with sin and death there entered the world something that we call change. It is none the less true and tragic, because what we called change, we called afterwards exchange. Anyhow, the result of that extravagance of exchange has been that when there are too many apples there are too few apple-eaters. I do not insist on the symbol of Eden, or the parable of the apple-tree, but it is odd to notice that even that accidental image pursues us at every stage of this strange story. The last result of treating a tree as a shop or a store instead of as a store-room, the last effect of treating apples as goods rather than as good, has been in a desperate drive of public charity and in poor men selling apples in the street.

In all normal civilisations the trader existed and must exist. But in all normal civilisations the trader was the exception; certainly he was never the rule; and most certainly he was never the ruler. The predominance which he has gained in the modern world is the cause

of all the disasters of the modern world. The universal habit of humanity has been to produce and consume as part of the same process; largely conducted by the same people in the same place. Sometimes goods were produced and consumed on the same great

feudal manor; sometimes even on the same small peasant farm. Sometimes there was a tribute from serfs as yet hardly distinguishable from slaves; sometimes there was a co-operation between free-men which the superficial can hardly distinguish from communism. But none of these many historical methods, whatever their vices or

limitations, was strangled in the particular tangle of our own time; because most of the people, for most of the time, were thinking about growing food and then eating it; not entirely about growing food and selling it at the stiffest price to somebody who had nothing to eat. And I for one do not believe that there is any way out of the modern

tangle, except to increase the proportion of the people who are living according to the ancient simplicity. Nobody in his five wits proposes that there should be no trade and no traders. Nevertheless, it is important to remember, as a matter of mere logic, that there might conceivably be great wealth, even if there were no trade and no traders. It is important for the sort of man whose only hope is that Trade Is Good or whose only secret terror is that Trade Is Bad. In principle, prosperity might be very great, even if trade were very bad. If a village were so fortunately situated that, for some reason, it was

easy for every family to keep its own chickens, to grow its own vegetables, to milk its own cow and (I will add) to brew its own beer, the standard of life and property might be very high indeed, even though the long memory of the Oldest Inhabitant only recorded two or three pure transactions of trade; if he could only recall the one far-off event of his neighbour buying a new hat from a gipsy's barrow; or the singular incident of Farmer Billings purchasing an umbrella.

As I have said, I do not imagine, or desire, that things would ever be quite so simple as that. But we must understand things in their simplicity before we can explain or correct their complexity. The complexity of commercial society has become intolerable, because

that society is commercial and nothing else. The whole mind of the community is occupied, not with the idea of possessing things, but with the idea of passing them on. When the simple enthusiasts already mentioned say that Trade is Good, they mean that all the people who possess goods are perpetually parting with them. These Optimists presumably invoke the poet, with some slight emendation of the poet's meaning, when he cries aloud, 'Our souls are love and a perpetual farewell.' In that sense, our individualistic and commercial modern society is actually the very reverse of a society founded on Private Property. I mean that the actual direct and isolated enjoyment of private property, as distinct from the excitement of exchanging it or getting a profit on it, is rather rarer than in many simple communities that seem almost communal in their simplicity. In the

case of this sort of private consumption, which is also private production, it is very unlikely that it will run continually into overproduction. There is a limit to the number of apples a man can eat, and there will probably be a limit, drawn by his rich and healthy

hatred of work, to the number of apples which he will produce but cannot eat. But there is no limit to the number of apples he may possibly sell; and he soon becomes a pushing, dexterous and successful Salesman and turns the whole world upside-down. For it is

he who produces this huge pantomimic paradox with which this rambling reflection began. It is he who makes a wilder revolution than the apple of Adam which was the loosening of death, or the apple of Newton which was the apocalypse of gravitation, by proclaiming the supreme blasphemy and heresy, that the apple was made for the market and not for the mouth. It was he, by starting the wild race of pouring endless apples into a bottomless market, who opened the abyss of irony and contradiction into which we are staring to-day. That trick of treating the trade as the test, and the only test, has left

us face to face with a piece of stark staring nonsense written in gigantic letters across the world; more gigantic than all its own absurd advertisements and announcements; the statement that the more we produce the less we possess.

Oscar Wilde would probably have fainted with equal promptitude, if told he was being used in an argument about American salesmanship, or in defence of a thrifty and respectable family life on the farm. But it does so happen that one true epigram, among many of his false epigrams, sums up correctly and compactly a certain truth, not (I

am happy to say) about Art, but about all that he desired to separate from Art; ethics and even economics. He said in one of his plays: "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." [The quotation is from (1892).] It is extraordinarily true; and the answer to most other things that he said. But it is yet more extraordinary that the modern men who make that mistake most obviously are not the cynics. On the contrary, they are those who call themselves the Optimists; perhaps

even those who would call themselves the Idealists; certainly those who regard themselves as the Regular Guys and the Sons of Service and Uplift. It is too often those very people who have spoilt all their good effect, and weakened their considerable good example in work and social contact, by that very error: that things are to be judged by

the price and not by the value. And since Price is a crazy and incalculable thing, while Value is an intrinsic and indestructible thing, they have swept us into a society which is no longer solid but fluid, as unfathomable as a sea and as treacherous as a quicksand.

Whether anything more solid can be built again upon a social philosophy of values, there is now no space to discuss at length here; but I am certain that nothing solid can be built on any other philosophy; certainly not upon the utterly unphilosophical philosophy of blind buying and selling; of bullying people into purchasing what they do not want; of making it badly so that they may break it and imagine they want it again; of keeping rubbish in rapid circulation like a dust-storm in a desert; and pretending that you are teaching men to hope, because you do not leave them one intelligent instant in which to despair.

U.S.S. Abe Lincoln Deployed For Persian Gulf-In Preparation For Iran Conflict.

The fact that the U.S. has now deployed a second aircraft carrier in their growing build up in the Persian Gulf, is a sure sign of their military preparations for the coming war with Iran.

US deploys second air carrier in Persian Gulf with 60 warplanes
DEBKAfile Special Report

October 20, 2010, 5:15 PM (GMT+02:00)

United States has posted a second aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, in the Persian Gulf and northern Arabian Sea. The announcement came from the Pentagon Tuesday, Oct. 19, two days after the vessel put into port at Fifth Fleet headquarters in Manama, Bahrain. debkafile's sources note that this is the first time in two years that Washington had deployed two aircraft carriers at same time - not just one - in waters opposite Iran and Afghanistan.
Facing Iran at the moment therefore is the USS Harry S. Truman which has four squadrons of Hornet and Super Hornet fighter-bombers plus Squadron 116 of early warning, surveillance and command craft, Squadron 131 of electronic warfare craft, two more squadrons of helicopters and one of transports.

The Abraham Lincoln's arrival has raised the number of US fighter-bombers in Iran's neighborhood to 120.

The carrier was accompanied by the guided missile cruiser USS Cape St. George.

The Pentagon announcement was careful to avoid mentioning Iran: US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates approved the presence of a second carrier… to provide surge support for coalition forces in Afghanistan "and to support existing maritime security operations."
But the significance of two massive American naval-aerial strike forces opposite Iranian shores was not lost on Tehran, our sources report. Wednesday, Oct. 20, Brig. Gen. Hussein Salami, Deputy Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, came out with this statement: "The enemies of Iran should know the Islamic establishment's red lines and not trespass them."

Nostradamus' Prophecies For France Being Fulfilled Today!

Being French himself, Nostradamus wrote many prophecies that involved France's future. The following quatrains from Centruy I appear to be fulfilling these as we speak, and could very soon fulfill a very dark prophecy for France.
Over the past 2 weeks, France has had everything from high level alert terrorists threats to the very public mass protests and riots that seem to be gripping the country.
In the following quatrains I present the following:

Q1Century 18
Because of French discord and negligence
an opening shall be given to the Mohammedans.
The land and sea of Siena will be soaked in blood,
and the port of Marseilles covered with ships and sails.
[Here, Nostradamus appears to be signaling the public discord that will grip the country at a time in which the Mohammedans (Muslims) will then use as an opportunity to be taken advantage of.]

Q1 C20
The cities of Tours, Orleans, Blois, Angers, Reims and Nantes
are troubled by sudden change.
Tents will be pitched by (people) of foreign tongues;
rivers, darts at Rennes, shaking of land and sea.
[Here, he mentions the possible cities that will suddenly be engulfed in turmoil due to some unforeseen event. He then goes on to write about a foreign people who will pitch their tents during a time of great conflict.]

Q1C23
In the third month, at sunrise,
the Boar and the Leopard meet on the battlefield.
The fatigued Leopard looks up to heaven
and sees an eagle playing around the sun.
[In the 3rd month, or March, the Boar here (through research I found out that the Boar has actually been a symbol of Paris, especially used on many jewelry pieces) would probably represent France, and the Leopard, as I have already described in another earliere posting, is probably meant to represent Obama, or in this case the U.S. In this quatrain, it also describes how the Leopard looks up to heaven and sees an eagle playing around the sun. This points to how the U.S., along with France, and the U.K., will meet/align themselves on a battlefield against the eastern powers.]
All of this serves to merely point out the potentiality of any of these prophetic events happening over the next few wks, or months.


French protests intensify as government stands firm
October 16, 2010. A nationwide strike … .– Mon Oct 18, 5:45 am ET

PARIS (Reuters) – French truck drivers staged go-slow operations on highways, rail strikes intensified and petrol stations ran out of fuel on Monday as protests gathered pace ahead of a Senate vote on an unpopular pension overhaul.

The government, which has stood firm on President Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to raise the retirement age through months of protests, assured the public infrastructure would not freeze up despite a week-long strike at refineries that dried up supplies at hundreds of the 12,500 petrol stations nationwide.

"The situation is critical," a spokeswoman at Exxon Mobil said. "Anyone looking for diesel in the Paris and Nantes (Western France) regions will have problems," she said.

Strike action was ramping up ahead of a nationwide march called for Tuesday, and with the final Senate vote scheduled for Wednesday, it was looking like a make-or-break week for Sarkozy.

Workers at France's 12 refineries were in their 7th day of a strike on Monday and protesters were blocking access many fuel distribution depots around the country.

The UFIP oil industry lobby has said France could see serious fuel supply problems by mid-week, meaning the government may have to look at tapping emergency reserves.

The CGT union said on Monday it was calling on workers to protest at airports nationwide on Wednesday. The union, the largest at Air France, said the protests would not necessarily involve blocking airport access but that this remained an option.

Government ministers stressed the country had plenty of fuel and that airports in particular have ample supply.

"The government is in control," Industry Minister Christian Estrosi told RTL radio on Monday. "There will be no blockade for companies, no blockade for transport and no blockade for road users."

France's super- and hypermarket chains account for about 60 percent of car fuel sales in France and an industry association representing the bulk of those outlets said on Monday between 500 and 1,000 stations were either empty, out of one fuel or other, or seeking fresh supplies.

At an empty service station on Paris' Champs Elysees avenue, manager Paula said she spent much of Monday morning trying to stop motorists unhooking the fuel pumps.

"It's madness, we're submerged," she said.

A majority of French support protests against planned legislation to raise the minimum and full retirement ages by two years to 62 and 67 respectively, a measure the government says is the only way to stem a ballooning pension deficit.

The main points of Sarkozy's bill have passed through both houses of parliament and following a Senate vote scheduled for Wednesday on the full package, the bill could soon be signed into law.

Truck drivers used vans from Sunday evening to slow the flow of traffic on motorways around Paris and cities like Lille, Lyon and Rennes, but had not yet resorted to using fleets of large trucks to block roads.

Prime Minister Francois Fillon has warned protesters that blockading vital infrastructure is illegal.

"The right to strike is not the right to bar access to a fuel depot, that's an illegal action," Fillon told TF1 television on Sunday. "I will not let the French economy suffocate from a blockage of fuel supply."

TV stations broadcast footage of workers at the Grandpuits refinery saying they had been "requisitioned" under government orders to go to work or risk jail but that they could not work because co-workers had formed human chains at the site.

Sarkozy was due to hold talks later on Monday in the northern seaside resort of Deauville with his German and Russian counterparts Angela Merkel and Dmitry Medvedev.

Russia To Provide Key S-300 System Via Venezuela.

During the past two days, not only did Russia offer to sell this crucial missile defense system to Venezuela, but the Russians also offered to help Venezuela build their first nuclear plant as well.
Iran will probably end up then purchasing this missile system from Venezuela, allowing Russia to pass this technology vis-a-vi Venezuela to Iran.
Russia's interests in doing this are also tied to their investments in Iran through their nuclear program, as well as having other key energy deals on the table with Iran.
China as we are seeing also has a lot of key interests in Iran as well, and hence the reason why Chinese jets are making refueling stops in Iran, and practicing air drills with the Turkish airforce.
Prophecy is being fulfilled throughout the world as we speak. Let us remain vigilant and prayerful at all times.

Iran may get Russian S-300 interceptors after all - via Venezuela
DEBKAfile Special Report
October 16, 2010, 5:24 PM (GMT+02:00)

Russia appears ready to sell Venezuela the same five advanced S-300PMU-1 air defense missile battalions it withheld from Iran because of international sanctions. debkafile's military sources report Venezuela's ruler Hugo Chavez, offered to buy them when he met Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow Thursday, Oct. 14. Israel immediately turned to Washington to try and block the transaction. Clearly, the highly-sophisticated interceptors are bound for their original client, Iran, through its good friend Chavez.

This time, the deal will be much harder to stop.

Our military sources stress that Iran needs the S-300 as the key to the effective defense of its nuclear and strategic sites against air or missile attack - even by cruise missiles - and to raising the risk to the assailants of heavy casualties. That said, the Israeli Air Force has spent the last two years training intensively in tactics for countering those very Russian interceptors. In September, Israel and Greece carried out joint practice strikes against the S-300 missiles Athens had purchased from Moscow.

Chavez began his Moscow visit by voicing interest in "buying different types of Russian-made air defense systems to create a multilayered air defense network."

The day after his offer, Russia cautiously tested the water in Washington to find how the Obama administration reacted to the prospect of ballistic missile interceptors being deployed not only in Iran but in the United States' Latin American backyard.

Igor Korotchenko, head of a Moscow think tank on the international arms trade, revealed: "Russia is looking for a buyer for five battalions of S-300PMU-1 defense systems ordered by Iran and Venezuela could become such a buyer."

He knew enough about the deal to disclose that Caracas was prepared to pay the asking price of $800 million in cash to expedite the deal although it asked Moscow for several loans to cover previous arms transactions, including the recent $2.2 billion purchase of 92 Russian T-72 tanks and the Smerch multiple launch rocket systems.

Our sources add Iran rather than Venezuela is in a hurry to get hold of the missiles and install them around its most vulnerable sites. There should be no delay once they reach Tehran because special units of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards had finished training on the weapon's operation in Russia.

debkafile's sources note that hardly a month has gone by since Sept. 22 when Medvedev publicly announced the S-300 missile system sale to Iran was cancelled - to wide acclaim from the US and Israeli media. Moscow lost no time in finding a neat stratagem for bypassing the UN sanctions barring arms sales to Iran with impunity. Even the Russian offer to return the $166.8 million Iran advanced for the deal can be covered by Caracas as intermediate customer.

The Eastern Alliance Becomes More Visable.

Growing ties between Turkey, China, Iran worry Israel and U.S.

Turkey held military drill with China, after canceling with Israel; cooperation also reflected in weapons deals, with Iran buying from China mainly missile technology.
By Anshel Pfeffer Story Highlights
http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/growing-ties-between-turkey-china-iran-worry-israel-and-u-s-1.317583

The United States and Israel are watching with concern the growing military cooperation among Turkey, China and Iran, especially following a joint Turkish-Chinese air-force exercise last week.
Until two years ago Israel was Turkey's main partner for air combat training.

In 2001 the Turkish air force inaugurated a tactical air warfare center in Konya with Israel and the United States.

Until 2008 the Israel Air Force was a frequent guest in Turkey's sky and a regular participant in the country's big annual exercise, Anatolian Eagle.

In the wake of Operation Cast Lead and the subsequent deterioration of bilateral relations Turkey last year revoked Israel's participation in the maneuvers. The United States decided not to take part in the exercise this year because of that decision. A number of other NATO members followed suit.

Turkey replaced the Israel Air Force with its Chinese counterpart. China sent Sukhoi SU-27 fighter aircraft and pilots to train with Turkey's F-16 fighters. In the past these exercises were held in relatively openness, but last week they were held covertly, with only a brief report appearing in the Turkish media after the exercise.

The West has been watching the changes in the Chinese army's structure, and especially the long-range naval and aerial exercises that indicate Beijing's intention to acquire the ability to conduct warfare far from China's borders.

The Chinese are also aggressively pursuing cyber warfare capabilities, employing some 60,000 hackers at it, according to foreign intelligence reports.

The Obama administration protested Turkey's military cooperation with Iran after it was reported that the Chinese fighter planes were sent to Turkey via Pakistan and Iran.

The developing ties among Turkey, Iran and China are also reflected in weapons deals, with Iran buying from China mainly missile technology.

The C-802 antiship missile fired by Hezbollah in the Second Lebanon War at the Israel Navy's Hanit missile boat was manufactured in Iran with Chinese technology.

China has also developed a surface-to-surface rocket-launching system together with Turkey. China's Prime Minister Wen Jiabao is due to visit Ankara this month and to sign several bilateral cooperation agreements.

Turkey and China are also involved in projects to build oil pipelines from Iran.

Another reason for the close relations between the two states is that China, as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has been in the forefront of opposition to imposing harsher sanctions on Iran in connection to the Islamic state's nuclear program.

China Debuts Its Warplanes In The Mideast!

(Chinese Su warplanes over Iran and Turkey.)

This is a major piece of news that only goes to further confirm prophecy in the making. The fact that this is the first time that Chinese warplanes have flown over mid east skies, only goes to further prove the eastern alliance is becoming more prominent and increasing in solidarity.
The fact that for over the past 5 years, I have been waiting for these events to materialize, is also quite humbling to see these prophetic visions are and have been occurring.
The eastern alliance of Russia, Iran, Syria, Turkey, and China, will be the alliance that all prophecy states will be the victors of this coming world war which is about to begin.
China realizes that the west will bring about this war on Iran, and therefore they will be one of the countries most affected if this occurs, due to China's ever growing energy needs for their ever growing economy.
Iran, is Chinas largest supplier of gas and oil, and to attack Iran, is to indirectly attack China as well.
Turkey also realizes that the west does not have their best intentions in mind and so they too are having to expand their military alliances in order to counter NATO's fire power, and with China on board, this is almost 100% assured.



Chinese warplanes make Mid East debut in Turkey and Iran
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
October 12, 2010, 3:33 PM (GMT+02:00)
The arrival of a new Middle East player startled Washington and Jerusalem: debkafile's military sources disclose that when Turkish Prime Minister Tayyep Erdogan met Syrian president Bashar Assad in Damascus Monday, Oct. 11, they talked less about the Kurdish question and more about the role China is willing to play in the military-intelligence alliance binding Syria, Iran and Turkey.

Erdogan took the credit for China's unfolding involvement in the alliance in the role of big-power backer. Two recent events illustrate Beijing's intent:

1. From Sept. 20 to Oct. 6, the Turkish Air Force conducted its regular annual Anatolian Eagle exercise, this time without US and Israeli participation. Israel was not invited and America opted out. However, their place was taken by Chinese Sukhoi Su-27 and Mig-29 warplanes making their first appearance in Turkish skies.

Our military sources report that the Chinese warplanes began touching down at the big Konya air base in central Turkey in mid-September for their debut performance in the Middle East and Europe.
Konya has served NATO and the United States for decades as one of their most important air bases.

2. Our sources add that the Chinese planes refueled only once on their journey to Turkey in… Iran. When they touched down at the Gayem al-Mohammad air base in central Iran, their crews were made welcome by the Iranian air force commander Gen. Ahmad Migani.

It was the first time Chinese fighter-bombers are known to have visited the Islamic Republic.

The Gayem al-Mohammed facility, located near the town of Birjand in South Khorasan, is situated directly opposite the big American base of East Afghanistan near the Afghan-Iranian border town of Herat.

The Turkish prime minister painted the military alliance binding Tehran, Ankara and Damascus in rosy colors for Assad's benefit as more central to the region and more powerful than Israel's armed forces after overcoming the IDF's military edge.

Web Bot Predictions: Major Tipping Point/Capitulation Cited For Early November 2010!

Web Bot Internet Predictions From The Past and For The Immediate Future.

Web Bot, or the Web Bot Project, refers to an Internet bot software program that is claimed to be able to predict future events by tracking keywords entered on the Internet. It was created in 1997, originally to predict stock market trends.^[1] The creator of the Web Bot Project, Clif High, along with his associate George Ure, who call themselves "The Time Monks",^[2] keep the technology and algorithms largely secret and sell the predictions via the website halfpasthuman.com.

Methodology

High and Ure claim that the Web Bot works by using a form of the Wisdom of the crowd, with spiders that search the internet for about 300,000 keywords with emotional context[3] and record the preceding and following words to create a "snapshot." The technology is claimed to be able to examine the collective unconscious and be able to predict catastrophic events 60 to 90 days in advance.

Predictions
Claimed hits

The Web Bot is claimed to have predicted several events prior to them occurring, most notably the September 11 attacks and the 2003 Northeastern United States blackout.[4] However, many believe the predictions are vague and, at best, pseudoscientific.[5]

•September 11 attacks - In June 2001, Web Bot predicted that a catastrophic event would occur within the next 60–90 days.[6] However, during this same period, the 2001 Harehills riot, Tropical Storm Allison, a Vladivostokavia Tupolev Tu-154 jetliner crashed on approach to landing at Irkutsk, Russia, the 2001 Bradford race riots, the Howard Street Tunnel fire, and over 200,000 demonstrators protested at the 27th G8 summit with some property damage and injury taking place all occurred. "A catastrophic event" is such a vague statement that it could have covered any of these situations.
•2001 anthrax attacks
•American Airlines Flight 587[7]
•Space Shuttle Columbia disaster - In January 2003 the web bots were going on and on about a "maritime disaster".[8] However, in that same year, the MV Mitali, a double decked ferry, was capsized by collision with a cargo vassel in Bangladesh, with at least 130 people confirmed dead on April 2003. The Fu Shan Hai, a Chinese bulk carrier, sank after a collision on 31 May 2003. The RMS Mülheim, a German cargo ship run ashore on on 22 March 2003. Nevertheless, the Web Bot owners zeroed in on a non-maritime event as their "prediction".
•Northeast Blackout of 2003[8][9]
•2004 Indian Ocean earthquake[6][9]
•Hurricane Katrina and its devastation[9][10]
•Dick Cheney hunting incident[8]
•BP Oil Spill[11]

Future predictions:

•November 8-11, 2010 - The web bot warns of a big tipping point, possibly a stock market crash or financial meltdown of some sorts.[15]
•Major catastrophe in 2012 - The Web Bot has gained most of its notoriety for contributing to the 2012 phenomenon by predicting that a cataclysm will devastate the planet in the year 2012, possibly a reversing of Earth's magnetic poles or a small series of nuclear attacks leading up to a major attack during the year. The prediction does not necessarily call for a complete end of the world.[16][17][18][19]
The following come from the Web Bot Project Blogspot report on a radio interview with High and Ure:

•No warfare between Israel and Iran, at least not until November 2010.
•Six very large earthquakes are yet to come during the rest of 2010.
•A major tipping point will occur between November 8 – 11, 2010, followed by a 2-3 month release period. This tipping point appears to be US-centric, and could be a dramatic world-changing event like 9-11 that will have rippling after-effects. The collapse of the dollar might occur in November.
•From July 11, 2010 onward, civil unrest will take place, possibly driven by food prices skyrocketing, and the devaluation of the dollar.[15] No such incident has occurred following that date.
•No exact information on the December 14th missile launch (beginning of World War III) has been confirmed, but the predictions show it may happen.
•A second depression, triggered by mass layoffs, bankruptcies, and the popping of the "derivatives bubble," will see people moving out of cities.
•After March 2011, the revolution wave will settle down into a period of reformation.
•A "data gap" has been found between early 2012 running through May 2013. One explanation is that "our civilization gets knocked back to a pre-electronic state," such as brought about by devastating solar activity.
•A new benign form of capitalism will emerge during 2017-2020.[2

The Great Deception/Delusion Is Coming.

The Prophet Daniel and his companions in the fire, with Jesus Protecting them.

In Bill Wiese's book, "23 Minutes in HELL," he describes the following regarding demons:
Page 124;
"In pastor Chuck Smith's book, 'What The World Is Coming To,' he speaks about a book called,'Through Forbidden Tibet,' by Harrison Forman. Pastor Chuck mentions the chapter titled, 'I saw the king of Hell.'
Pastor Smith relates: 'He talks about an annual religious rite in Tibet where religious men of the nation gather and call forth various demons. At the conclusion of this week long ceremony, they call forth the king of Hell.
What he saw was uncanny. He actually saw demons as they materialized, and he describes them and their various forms. His descriptions of the demons are much like those in Revelation.'
Some have asked me, 'Does the Bible support demons that are 12 or 13 feet tall?' On a tape series by Chuck Missler, He gives an explanation for the height of some of the demons I saw in Hell.
He speaks of the portion in the Book of Genesis that describes 'Giants on the earth,' which came about as a result of the fallen angels that slept with women and bore children who were called mighty men (Gen6:2-4).
He also refers to Jude, which talks about angels (fallen) who didn't stay within their proper domain, but who left their abode and then gave themselves over to sexual immorality.'
The remnant of the giants is mentioned in Deuteronomy3:11, where it specifically calls out a man whose iron bed was approx. 13.5 ft long."

The reason I begin today with this excerpt is because after having researched and investigated several news stories over the past several wks, it might possibly be that the powers that be, i.e. Illuminati, could have something very devious up there sleeve.
The following YouTube link also refers to this possible plan by the powers that be, in order to deceive the world into accepting a One World Government.
The event, in this case, would be a UFO related event that the very powers that be, will have orchestrated.
The past few weeks, from news reports ranging from Fox, to CNN, to Reuters, to Vatican News, to you name it, have all been surprisingly reporting on this particular topic, which over the past 50 years was scorned on and laughed at by the same mainstream media outlets.
So what gives this time?? Why all the serious attention being given to it now?? Where are all those government sceptics, that were paraded in front of the cameras for so many years telling us that it was just a meteorite, a weather balloon, or gas, or ball lightening??
I believe the reason that the powers that be had to undermine this topic for so many years is because during this time they were busy trying to figure out what exactly these things were.
By reverse engineering and reconstructing these vehicles (as per the Roswell incident where both unknown beings bodies and technology was recovered), they are now finally able and capable of controlling and manipulating this technology to the point of possibly producing a staged event that would create the desired effect upon the masses of calling for and accepting a One World government for the sole purpose of protection from this perceived "alien threat."
Also, the time as these powers see it, is ripe for the taking due to the fact that most people today in the westernized world are so dumbed down, and have lost most, if not all faith in the Christian religion, that this ignorance would further help to enable these powers to create the effect that this one world government will be the peoples only hope. Not God, not religion, but them.
This deception would be so great and so shattering, that many of religions elect would even be deceived by this charade as well.
In Matthew 24:24 we read the following:
"For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible. "
These powers that rule, control and manipulate the masses, are beings that just as the Book of Genesis have described, are basically a hybrid of mortal men and immortal spiritual beings that have fallen from their once lofty sanctuary.
These fallen angels, and their hybrid offspring have for thousands of years been those that have always wanted a new world order to be under the full control and ownership of none other than Satan himself.
There has been no difference in regards to the years or the dates. Whether it was 4,000 b.c., or 2010 a.d., the object has always been the same.
It is also no great wonder, that in the chapters that follow Genesis6, you have the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. For such great evil and wickedness had grown to such an extent, with and under the influence of these evil beings, that society and civilizations had reached such great heights, that evil was running rampant throughout.
It is then no great wonder today, and how these same forces, have come to lead humanity to the precipice once again.
The coming mass delusion/deception, though I do not know with any certainty, will be one in which these demonically influenced hybrid humans in positions of great power and leadership, will attempt to do away with all religions. They have basically come to control and dominate most of western Christianity through the Evangelical new age movement, and have infiltrated the highest levels of the Vatican as well. Remember, in the Book of Revelation, the analogy with double meaning that describes how the dragon took down 1/3 of the stars in Heaven with him when he was banished.

While the literal is obvious, the symbolic is that in reference to the Church today. That a third of all clergy have fallen under the influence of Satan, hence the reason why it is found in the last book of the bible, and not the first, for it would be reference for today.
The one ancient religion that has refused to bow down to their man made idols, is that of Islam.
This is why today in the west, there is so much press and negative media aimed at Islam.
Remember in Genesis, that the angel of the Lord promises Hagar, that her progeny will also become a blessed and great nation as well.
The Illuminati know that if their plan of great and mass deception is to go without a hitch, then Islam, that last road bump, must also be taken out. But this is why the Lord has only made Islam even stronger today.
I am Christian, but the Lord has given me eyes to see that this is how He is using the religion of Ishmael. As a beachhead, to use military terms, against the ever encroaching secular and demonic apostasy that we are seeing throughout the world.
There is a reason why the Virgin Mary, in 1917, appeared to those three children in Fatima, a town named after one of Mohammed's daughters. The connection could not be more clear, especially during today.
The following is chapter3, from the Book of Daniel. It very clearly outlines exactly what happened thousands of years ago, and is on the verge of happening today.
The power that was King Nebuchadnezzar, made an image of gold and ordered all to worship it throughout.
Daniel and his companions refused and they were thrown into a fiery cell for their disobedience. But while in this fire, God protected His faithful servant.
In similar fashion, we are seeing how the powers that be today, are getting ready to unleash a major event that will project or portray something/someone as that idol that should/will also be called upon for everyone to worship.
Many will allow themselves to be deceived, for even Jesus said this, but only those that remain faithful as Daniel and his companions did, will be allowed to enter into God's Kingdom. God bless to all.

The Book of Daniel: Chapter 3
Chapter 3:1
{1} Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Chapter 3:2-3
{2} Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. {3} Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

Chapter 3:4-6
{4} Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, {5} That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: {6} And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

Chapter 3:7-12
{7} Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. {8} Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. {9} They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. {10} Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image: {11} And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. {12} There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

Chapter 3:13-15
{13} Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. {14} Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? {15} Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

Chapter 3:16-18
{16} Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. {17} If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. {18} But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

Chapter 3:19-23
{19} Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. {20} And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. {21} Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. {22} Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. {23} And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

Chapter 3:24-25
{24} Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. {25} He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Chapter 3:26-27
{26} Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. {27} And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

Chapter 3:28-30
{28} Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. {29} Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. {30} Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.

The Number 10: For 10/10/10.

It is interesting to note also that this is my 208 posting, which when added as individual digits adds up to 10.

Properties of the number 10
http://www.ridingthebeast.com/numbers/nu10.php

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symbolism
Symbol of the matter in harmony - 4 + 6.

Represent the Creator and the creation, 3 + 7, the Trinity resting in the expressed universe.

For Pythagoras, 10 was the symbol of the universe and it also expressed the whole of human knowledge.

Sum of 5 + 5, the number 10 represents the two opposite current directions of the conscience: involution and evolution.

According to H.- P. Blavatsky, the 1 followed by 0 indicates the column and the circle, meaning the principle of the female and male, and this symbol would refer to the Androgyne nature and also to Jehovah, being at the same time male and female.

The zero in the form of circle is a symbol of unit, completing then the meaning of the number 1 to show that the number 10 contains all preceding numbers as a whole contains its parts.

Represent the first couple, the marriage: 1 = the man, 0 the egg fertilized by the 1. The ten gives the indication of a spiritual regression since the marriage is a consequence of the fall of the man.

The number ten is regarded as the most perfect of numbers, because it contains the Unit that did it all, and the zero, symbol of the matter and the Chaos, of which all came out; it then includes in its figure the created and the non-created, the beginning and the end, the power and the force, the life and the nothing.

It represents the straightness in the faith because it is the first number "in extension" (of two digits), just as hundred and thousand, explains Hugues of Saint-Victor.

According to Agrippa, "ten is called the number of all or universal, and the complete number marking the full course of life." Also he attributes to it a sence of totality, the achievement, the return to the unit after the development of the cycle of the first nine numbers.

Represent the revelation and the Divine Law.

At the Mayas, it represents the end of a cycle and the beginning of another. The ten was regarded as being the number of the life and the death.

In China, the cross represents the number 10 - as the totality of the numbers.

Bible
The Holy Spirit descended on the apostles ten days after the Ascension of Jesus.

The ten leprous heal by Jesus. (Lk 17,11)

The ten pounds given at ten servants in the parable. (Lk 19,13)

The ten horns of the Beast of the Revelation with the ten diadems on each of horns. (Rv 13, 1)

The ten impotent powers against the love of God. (Rm 8,38)

The ten vices that exclude from the kingdom of God. (1 Co 6,10)

The ten nations whose hostility towards Israel was constant. (Ps 83,7-9)

Boaz took ten witnesses to marry Ruth. (Rt 4,2)

God move back the shadow on the sundial of Ahaz of ten degrees as a sign that He was going to deliver Hezekiah from his mortal sickness and the city where he was. (Is 38,1-8)

The ten plagues of Egypt sent by God by the intermediary of Moses, according to the Bible: the water changed into blood, the frogs, the midges, the big flies, the plague on the animals, the epidemic of ulcer and tumours, the hail and the thunder, the grasshoppers, the three darkness days, finally the death of the firstborns in each Egyptian family. (Ex 7-11)

The Ten Commandments of God given to Moses. (Ex 20,1)

The ten generations from Adam until Noah. (Gn 5)

General
The man is the tenth hierarchy of the "celestial chorus" that will replace, after the last judgement, the rebellious angels.

The Genesis is composed of ten chapters talking about the history of the world according to Darry: "Three of them talk about the creation and the life of Adam in the Garden of Eden. They correspond to the cabalistic world of the emanation. Three talk about the descendants of Adam and the preparations of the Flood. They correspond to the cabalistic world of the creation.

Red Flags All Over The Place!!!

The following are two pieces of information that relate to the current red flags out there that no main stream media is talking about.
Besides the fact that gold keeps advancing $10-12.00 almost every day, and Treasury yields keep going lower and lower, and the Dollar is getting ripped, no one in the media is really covering these red flags that seem to be signaling something big on the horizon.
The following are two more pieces of information that further add to these red flag warnings.
The first one shows the amount of recent insider selling to buying ratios and the second one refers to Costco's current one year food supply thrive pack.
Also, keep in mind the most recent Reuter's article referring to big money investors buying tonnes of gold. They know somethings up and so should you!

Insider Selling To Buying: 2,341 To 1
Courtesy of Tyler Durden

Sorry kids, we just report the news… as ugly as they may be. After last week saw an insider selling to buying ratio of 1,411 to 1, this week the ratio has nearly doubled, hitting a ridiculous 2,341 to 1. And while Wall Street’s liars and CNBC’s clowns will have you throw all your money into "leading" techs like Oracle and Google, insiders in these names sold a combined $200 million in stock in the last week alone (following Oracle insider sales of $223 million in the prior week). Insiders can. not. wait. to. get. out. fast. enough. This Fed-induced rally is nothing short of a godsend for each and every corporate executive. But yes, there may be value: there was insider buying in 2 (two) companies last week: General Dynamics and Best Buy, for a whopping total of $177,064. At the same time sales were a total of $414 million: so is anyone wondering why JPMorgan is reopening its gold vault… Anyone left holding the bag on this market when the FRBNY props are taken away, will be left with the same return as all those investors who entrusted their money with Madoff. Guaranteed.

Turkish/Chinese Joint Combat Air Excercises.

In the past several years I have written and demonstrated from Biblical and Nostradamiun sources as to how Turkey will be a key ally in the coming global conflict.
Most recent articles in relation to these prophecies show how Iran and Turkey have become greater allies, but now the following article cites as to how the Turkish and Chinese militaries are now coming to forge new partnerships.
This will be key, because China is forging new economic and military alliances throughout the world in what will be key alliances in this world war.

Turkey invited China to join NATO air exercise.
http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2010/ea_china0972_10_04.asp

ANKARA — China was secretly allowed to participate in a Turkish-sponsored combat air exercise reserved for NATO allies.

Turkish sources said the Chinese Air Force sent several Russian-origin Su-27 fighter-jets to participate in the semi-annual Anatolian Eagle air combat exercise. They said the Chinese were invited after the United States and other NATO members had turned down an invitation to participate in Anatolian Eagle in the late summer of 2010.
"The United States immediately expressed its displeasure in private," a Turkish source said.

On Sept. 30, the Turkish daily Taraf reported the Chinese participation in Anatolian Eagle, based in the Turkish air base in Konya. Taraf said Washington monitored the Chinese air maneuvers and demanded an explanation from the government of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan.

Taraf did not identify the Chinese aircraft that flew in the exercise, which was first held in 2001 with Israel and the United States participating. The sources said this marked the first time that Chinese warplanes were allowed to participate in an exercise designed for NATO.

In 2009, Turkey banned Israel from participating in Anatolian Eagle. Later, the United States and several NATO allies decided to reduce participation in the exercise.

The sources said China and Turkey have sought to expand military cooperation. The two countries have been engaged in rocket production, including WS-1, a 302mm weapon with a range of 150 kilometers. Turkey's state-owned Roketsan renamed the rocket TR-300 Kasirga, later acquired by the Turkish Army.

World War 3 Has Begun!---In Cyber Realm---Military Responses To Follow?

It is my belief that this third world war has already begun, at least in part in the cyber regions of the world.

Iran was the initial target of this very powerful malware, and now it is targeting China. Could Russia be next?

If this is the case, and the initial phases of this 3 world war have indeed begun, then the counter cyber attacks by these states is sure to be around the corner.

Iran perhaps will not be such a great a threat as perhaps China and Russia will.

If the Chinese, or Russians counter with a powerful worm of their own, then it is perhaps the precursor to an all out war.

What better way than to weaken your enemy, than by shutting down there cyber security infrastructure.

The follow two articles relate to this information. Remain vigilant and prayerful at all times.

Iran is bent on avenging cyber attack, raising military tensions
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
October 1, 2010, 6:41 PM (GMT+02:00)
http://debka.com/article/9058/

Tehran is bent on military action to settle scores with Israel and the United States whom it suspects of planting the malignant Stuxnet cyber worm in the computer systems of its nuclear, military and strategic infrastructure, debkafile's military and US sources report. The timeline of this attack revolves around the state visit to Lebanon President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has scheduled for Oct. 13-14, during which he will tour the Israeli border. Preying heavily on Iran too are the personal sanctions the United States has just imposed on its top military brass and ministers.

All this will no doubt come up in Syrian President Bashar Assad's talks with Iranian leaders during his visit to Tehran Saturday, Oct. 2.

In its latest issue, DEBKA-Net-Weekly reported Friday, Oct. 1 that when Assad and Ahmadinejad last met in Damascus on Sept. 18, three days after the malworm surfaced, the Iranian president warned that his country wouldf retaliate for the cyber attack by military means. Its allies, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas were advised to prepare for Israel taking the opportunity to attack them.

A few days later, Syrian sources leaked word that during that first encounter, Assad had urged Ahmadinejad to postpone his trip to Lebanon. They did not explain why.
However, Friday, Oct. 1, Syrian and Lebanese sources disclosed that Israel's northern border units had been placed on an elevated level of preparedness. The IDF spokesman did not deny the report, only pointing out that Israeli units on the borders with Lebanon and Syria had been on a high alert for some time and were keeping close watch on developments.
Aware of the incendiary tensions building up in its vicinity, Damascus is clearly taking pains to maintain a safe distance from any impending military conflagrations involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
Washington got involved when Wednesday, Sept. 29, President Barack Obama signed an executive order imposing sanctions on eight top Iranian officials, accusing them of serious human rights abuses, including the killing, torture, beating and rape of Iranian citizens since the country's disputed 2009 presidential election.

DEBKA-Net-Weekly noted that this was the first timeWashington had singled out top-flight Iranian military and security personages for personal penalties and imposed them without reference to Iran's nuclear program.

Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, was additionally branded a criminal who should stand trial for murder. Also covered by this charges wereHeydar Moslehi, Minister of Intelligence, Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, Interior Minister in charge of Iranian security and intelligence services, and Gen. Hossein Taeb, Deputy IRGC commander and head of the corps intelligence.

Obama only signed the sanctions order this week, whereas the eight officials' crimes occurred more than a year ago in the wake of their crackdown on political opponents who charged the regime with falsifying the election. It would seem therefore that the US president acted with the intention of further dividing Iran's leaders and adding to the perplexity and demoralization besetting them over their powerlessness to bring the destructive cyber worm under control.

The severity of the personal charges Washington brought against these Iranian powerhouses and their timing were certainly not lost on interested parties in the region. debkafile's Iranian sources do not believe the Islamic regime can afford to let Washington's blunt assault on it’s the mainstays of its power go unchallenged.

The New York Times, followed by several other Western media and computer security specialists, this week reported a clue they believed they had found pointing to Israel as the source of the cyber attack on Iran: The word "myrtus" -Latin for the myrtle tree was found embedded in the Staxnet code. They pointed out that the Hebrew for myrtle, Hadas, resembles Hadassah, the birth name of the Jewish Queen Esther of ancient Persia who is depicted in the Book of Esther as persuading the king to pre-empt an attack on the Jewish population.

debkafile has an alternative interpretation: Branches of Hadas or myrtle are one of the Four Species featuring in Jewish ritual for Succoth, the Feast of Tabernacles, which occurred this year on Sept 22-29.

Stuxnet 'cyber superweapon' infects millions of PCs in China
http://www.chinapost.com.tw/china/national-news/2010/10/01/274530/Stuxnet-cyber.htm

BEIJING -- mputer virus dubbed the world's “first cyber superweapon” by experts and which may have been designed to attack Iran's nuclear facilities has found a new target — China.
The Stuxnet computer worm has wreaked havoc in China, infecting millions of computers around the country, state media reported this week.

Stuxnet is feared by experts around the globe as it can break into computers that control machinery at the heart of industry, allowing an attacker to assume control of critical systems like pumps, motors, alarms and valves.

It could, technically, make factory boilers explode, destroy gas pipelines or even cause a nuclear plant to malfunction.

The virus targets control systems made by German industrial giant Siemens commonly used to manage water supplies, oil rigs, power plants and other industrial facilities.

“This malware is specially designed to sabotage plants and damage industrial systems, instead of stealing personal data,” an engineer surnamed Wang at antivirus service provider Rising International Software told the Global Times.

“Once Stuxnet successfully penetrates factory computers in China, those industries may collapse, which would damage China's national security,” he added.

Another unnamed expert at Rising International said the attacks had so far infected more than six million individual accounts and nearly 1,000 corporate accounts around the country, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

The Stuxnet computer worm — a piece of malicious software (malware) which copies itself and sends itself on to other computers in a network — was first publicly identified in June.

It was found lurking on Siemens systems in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and elsewhere, but the heaviest infiltration appears to be in Iran, according to software security researchers.

A Beijing-based spokesman for Siemens declined to comment when contacted by AFP on Thursday.

Yu Xiaoqiu, an analyst with the China Information Technology Security Evaluation Centre, downplayed the malware threat.

“So far we don't see any severe damage done by the virus,” Yu was quoted by the Global Times as saying.

“New viruses are common nowadays. Both personal Internet surfers and Chinese pillar companies don't need to worry about it at all. They should be alert but not too afraid of it.”

A top U.S. cybersecurity official said last week that the country was analysing the computer worm but did not know who was behind it or its purpose.

“One of our hardest jobs is attribution and intent,” Sean McGurk, director of the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), told reporters in Washington.

“It's very difficult to say 'This is what it was targeted to do,'” he said of Stuxnet, which some computer security experts have said may be intended to sabotage a nuclear facility in Iran.

A cyber superweapon is a term used by experts to describe a piece of malware designed specifically to hit computer networks that run industrial plants.

“The Stuxnet worm is a wake-up call to governments around the world,” Derek Reveron, a cyber expert at the US Naval War School, was quoted as saying Thursday by the South China Morning Post.

“It is the first known worm to target industrial control systems.”
