<p><a href="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/The-Horrible-Infighting-In-The-Freedom-Movement-Has-Got-To-Stop.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-169" title="The Horrible Infighting In The Freedom Movement Has Got To Stop" src="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/The-Horrible-Infighting-In-The-Freedom-Movement-Has-Got-To-Stop-161x107.jpg" alt="" width="161" height="107" /></a>Today a great awakening is going on throughout the United States and around the world.  More than ever before, people are starting to wake up to the New World Order that the global elite is gradually imposing on mankind.  The truth is that the vast majority of the people on this planet do not want a global government, a global currency, a one-world economic system or a one-world religion.  Thanks to those who have worked so hard to expose the sinister agenda of the internationalists who are seeking to construct a big brother control grid to enforce their futuristic scientific dictatorship, people all over the world are now voicing their objections to this coming world system.</p>
<p>But there is a problem.  In fact, there is a big problem.  You see, the "freedom movement" is horribly plagued by infighting.  Instead of focusing on the key issues and problems that should concern us all, many who have gotten involved are focusing most of their energy on fighting others in the freedom movement.  But the truth is that if we are all constantly infighting with one another, then we are not going to stand a chance against the scientifically-crafted tyranny that the globalists are imposing upon us.</p>
<p>But so many people feel that they have to be "right" about every little thing.  So many people want to be the "special one" that has it all figured out.  So many people are jealous of the "stars" in the freedom movement, when the truth is that the "stars" often end up making the biggest sacrifices on behalf of all of us.</p>
<p>It is really sad to see people who are supposed to be standing up for freedom relentlessly attacking men like Alex Jones or Steve Quayle who have sacrificed so much and have worked so hard and so long to expose the agenda of the globalists.  Most people in the freedom movement will never have any idea of what these men have been through. </p>
<p>And yet almost daily you will find others who claim to be patriots just ripping them to shreds.  Well, you know what?  It is not the end of the world if someone does not agree with you on every single little point.  If you are waiting for someone who perfectly agrees with you 100 percent of the time on every little issue then you are going to be waiting a long, long time.</p>
<p>Nobody is perfect.  You are not perfect.  I am not perfect.  If you think that are so "special" that you have the right to criticize everyone else in the freedom movement, there is something I want you to think about.  What would it be like if the spotlight was suddenly turned on you?</p>
<p>Perhaps that is what you are looking for.  Perhaps you would be very excited about being in the spotlight.  But before you get too excited, I want you to read what we wrote  about what it means to "be in the spotlight" <a href="http://whatdoesthebiblesayabout.com/archives/what-does-the-bible-say-about-salvation">in an article on one of our other sites</a>.... </p>
<p><em>Take a moment and imagine this - one of the biggest television networks wants to do a huge 2 hour prime time special starring you.</em></p>
<p><em>Doesn't that sound great?</em></p>
<p><em>But instead of a two hour documentary about how wonderful you are, the network has discovered all of the most evil and horrible things that you have ever thought, said or did and they are going to broadcast them to millions of people all over the world for two hours during prime time.</em></p>
<p><em>What would you do if that happened?</em></p>
<p><em>That reality is that whoever that happened to would want to run away and never show their face to anyone ever again.</em></p>
<p>The truth is that none of us is perfect.</p>
<p>Not even close.</p>
<p>So why try to rip apart and tear down those who are trying to stand up for your freedom?</p>
<p>The freedom movement is ultimately not going to do much good if it does not learn how to stand together.</p>
<p>It would do us all well to heed the words of Jesus in Matthew 12:25....</p>
<p><em>Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand</em></p>
<p>And the truth is that a lot of the people who are causing all of this infighting are actually agents and infiltrators who are seeking to stir things up.</p>
<p>You see, there are two primary ways that you can identify infiltrators - they try to get people in the movement fighting with each other or they advocate violence against someone else.</p>
<p>Don't have anything to do with those kinds of people.</p>
<p>Instead, we need to learn how to love one another.</p>
<p>It's really that simple.</p>
<p>The words that Jesus spoke in John 13:34 are as true today as they ever have been....</p>
<p><em>A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.</em></p>
<p>So the next time you are tempted to criticize someone in the freedom movement, ask yourself first if you love them.</p>
<p>If you cannot honestly say that you are willing to love them, then perhaps you are the one who has the problem that needs to be corrected.</p>
<p>Everyone is not always going to agree with you on every little issue.  If you can only work with "perfect" people then you are not going to be able to work with anyone.  It should be enough that others are willing to stand up for basic human freedom just as you are.</p>
<p>The truth is that we are rapidly moving into the darkest times in all of human history.  A horrific worldwide big brother control grid is being constructed that threatens to take away all of our freedoms.  We are literally looking at the end of the world as we know it.  If those who love freedom cannot learn to love one another and stand with one another then this thing is going to steamroll right over us. </p>
<p>It is time to wake up.  Time is running out.</p>

<p><a href="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Super-Soldiers-Of-The-Future.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-147" title="Big Brother" src="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Super-Soldiers-Of-The-Future-161x107.jpg" alt="" width="161" height="107" /></a>Once upon a time, the United States was a land of unparalleled freedom.  The rest of the world envied the freedom that ordinary Americans had to think, say and do what they wanted.  But all of that has changed.  Now Americans have to fear that they will be tackled by a squad of security goons and dragged off to a detention facility somewhere if they spill a Pepsi on a flight attendant or take a few too many pictures of a public building.  The United States used to be the polar opposite of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, but now America is rapidly becoming very much like them.  Due to the fear of a boogeyman living in a cave somewhere or some guy with explosive powder in his underwear we are all being forced to give up our freedoms and learn to live in a Big Brother police state. </p>
<p>But have things really changed so much that we have to give up all of the cherished freedoms that our fathers and grandfathers fought and died for?  Haven't there always been fanatics and crazies and criminals out there?  Why do we suddenly have to become so afraid of them? </p>
<p>In the past, Americans would not let anyone make them live in fear.  If some unbalanced individual did something bad, it wasn't the end of the world, was it?  No, in the past Americans dusted themselves off and continued to live as free men and women.  You see, when we live in fear and radically alter our way of life just to feel a little more secure, we lose.  We have let someone else steal our freedom and our dignity.</p>
<p>But now in the name of "security" all kinds of bizarre proposals have been implemented on the local, state and national levels.  Somehow we think that if everything that we do is watched, monitored and analyzed we will all be safer somehow.</p>
<p>Maybe we are safer and maybe we aren't, but we are certainly a whole lot less free.</p>
<p>The following are 20 signs that the United States is rapidly becoming a totalitarian "Big Brother" police state....   </p>
<p>#1) A new bill being pushed by Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman would allow the U.S. military <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/03/a-detention-bill-you-ought-to-read-more-carefully/37116">to round up large numbers of Americans and detain them indefinitely without a trial</a> if they "pose a threat" or if they have "potential intelligence value" or for any other reason the President of the United States "considers appropriate".</p>
<p>#2) Lawmakers in Washington D.C. working to create a new immigration bill have decided on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/online.wsj.com');" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703954904575110124037066854.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_MIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsThird" target="_blank">all American workers would be required to obtain</a>.</p>
<p>#3) Barack Obama is backing a plan to create a national database <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.politico.com');" href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0310/34097.html" target="_blank">to store the DNA</a> of people who have been arrested but not necessarily convicted of a crime.</p>
<p>#4) Just to get on an airplane, Americans will now have to go through new full-body scanners <a href="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/archives/the-underwear-bomber-terror-scare-has-americans-clamoring-for-the-new-airport-body-scanners-that-show-screeners-the-exposed-bodies-of-every-passenger">that reveal every detail of our exposed bodies</a> to airport security officials.</p>
<p>#5) If that wasn't bad enough, the Transportation Security Administration has announced that airport screeners will begin roving through airports <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.usatoday.com');" href="http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2010-02-16-TSA-swabs_N.htm" target="_blank">randomly taking chemical swabs from passengers and their bags</a> to check for explosives.</p>
<p>#6) Starting this upcoming December, some passengers on Canadian airlines flying to, from or even over the United States without ever landing there, will only be allowed to board their flights <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.montrealgazette.com');" href="http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/gets+which+Canadians/2639893/story.html" target="_blank">once the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has determined they are not terrorists</a>.</p>
<p>#7) Organic milk is such a threat that the FDA has been <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.roguegovernment.com');" href="http://www.roguegovernment.com/article/FDA_Invades_Non-Commercial_Amish_Farm_in_PA/19538.html" target="_blank">conducting military style raids</a> on Amish farmers in Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>#8) An NYPD officer has broken his silence and has confessed that innocent citizens are being set up and falsely arrested and ticketed <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.youtube.com');" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqHxvg9tgqQ&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">in order to meet quotas</a>.</p>
<p>#9) A growing number of police departments across the U.S. <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.usatoday.com');" href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-03-03-license-plate-cameras_N.htm" target="_blank">are turning to mobile camera systems</a> in order to fight motor vehicle theft and identify unregistered cars.</p>
<p>#10) For decades, Arizona has been known as "the sunset state", but lately many frustrated residents have started calling it <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com');" href="http://liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/03/04/arizona-the-surveillance-state/?test=latestnews" target="_blank">"the surveillance state"</a>.</p>
<p>#11) Judges and police in Florida have been caught using <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.youtube.com');" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb9VnvbYGak&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">"secret codes"</a> on tickets in the state of Florida.</p>
<p>#12) An extensive investigation has revealed that between 2003 and 2007, that state of Texas quietly <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/news.sciencemag.org');" href="http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2010/02/texas-supplied-newborn-blood-sam.html" target="_blank">gave hundreds of newborn baby blood samples</a> to a U.S. Armed Forces laboratory for use in a forensics database.</p>
<p>#13) A 6-year-old girl <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.tcpalm.com');" href="http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2010/feb/11/port-st-lucie-schools-confines-6-year-old-with/" target="_blank">was recently handcuffed and sent to a mental facility</a> after throwing temper tantrums at her elementary school.</p>
<p>#14) One 12-year-old girl in New York was recently arrested and marched out of her school in handcuffs <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.cnn.com');" href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/02/18/new.york.doodle.arrest/index.html?hpt=C1" target="_blank">just because she doodled on her desk</a>.</p>
<p>#15) In Florida, students <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.eagleforum.org');" href="http://www.eagleforum.org/educate/2009/june09/zero-tolerance-states.html">have been arrested by police</a> for things as simple as bringing a plastic butter knife to school, throwing an eraser, and drawing a picture of a gun.</p>
<p>#16) When a mother on a flight to Denver spanked both of her children and cussed out a flight attendant who tried to intervene, she suddenly found herself handcuffed and headed for prison.  Why?  She was <a href="http://futurestorm.blogspot.com/2009/01/spanking-your-child-on-plane-terrorism.html">charged with being a domestic terrorist</a> under the Patriot Act.</p>
<p>#17) A new global treaty <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.newscientist.com');" href="http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2010/02/online-copyright-clampdown-con.html" target="_blank">may force</a> U.S. Internet service providers to spy on what you do online.</p>
<p>#18) A leaked Obama administration memo has revealed plans for the federal government <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.washingtontimes.com');" href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/02/white-house-land-grab/" target="_blank">to seize more than 10 million acres</a> of land from Montana to New Mexico.</p>
<p>#19) 56 percent of Americans questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll said that the U.S. government has become so large and powerful <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com');" href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/02/26/cnn-poll-majority-says-government-a-threat-to-citizens-rights/?fbid=hrSOkOXxEF_" target="_blank">that it poses an immediate threat</a> to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens.</p>
<p>#20) But <a href="http://thetruthwins.com/archives/its-official-a-majority-of-americans-would-give-up-liberty-in-order-to-be-safe-from-terrorism">one other recent poll</a> found that 51 percent of Americans agree with this statement: "It is necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to make the country safe from terrorism."</p>

<p><a href="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Shah-Rukh-Khan.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-131" title="Shah Rukh Khan" src="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Shah-Rukh-Khan-161x107.jpg" alt="" width="161" height="107" /></a>It is already happening!  <a href="http://in.news.yahoo.com/43/20100206/908/ten-shah-rukh-signs-off-sexy-body-scan-p.html">It is being reported</a> that actor Shah Rukh Khan autographed printouts of his own body scanner image for airport workers at London's Heathrow airport.  This is yet more proof that images of our exposed bodies are not "immediately deleted" once we walk through the controversial new full body scanners that are being installed in airports all over the world.  So what will happen when people start smuggling images of celebrities out and start posting them all over the Internet?  How would you feel if someone took your body scanner image and started posting it all over the Internet?  This is a very big deal.  The truth is that this is the end of the world as far as airport privacy is concerned.</p>
<p>Fortunately for Khan, he was apparently <a href="http://in.news.yahoo.com/43/20100206/908/ten-shah-rukh-signs-off-sexy-body-scan-p.html">not too offended</a>.... </p>
<p>"I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You've got to see them. It makes you embarrassed - if you're not well endowed."</p>
<p>But not everyone is going to be comfortable with the idea of airport security printing out pictures of our exposed bodies.  The truth is that these new airport scanners produce <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jan/07/full-body-scan-uk-airport">"a ghostly naked image with curves and genitals eerily visible"</a>.</p>
<p>Eerily visible?</p>
<p>No thanks.</p>
<p>But it is bad enough for airport security officials to be able to get a passing glance at our exposed bodies.</p>
<p>It is another thing entirely for them to be able to print the images out and gawk at them for hours.</p>
<p>But according to Khan, airport security officials <a href="http://in.news.yahoo.com/43/20100206/908/ten-shah-rukh-signs-off-sexy-body-scan-p.html">are printing these images out</a>....</p>
<p>"Then I saw these girls - they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said 'give them to me' - and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them."</p>
<p>Is this what we have become?</p>
<p>Is this what we have to do to feel "safe" from terrorism?</p>
<p>What a sad day this is.</p>
<p>So what do you all think about this?</p>
<p>Are you ready for twisted airport officials to print out full body scans of you and your family and post them on the Internet?</p>
<p>Or should we all just get over it and be willing to laugh about it and autograph the images like the actor from India did?</p>
<p>It's a brave new world that we live in, and our humanity is slowly being stripped away from us.</p>

As we have previously reported, the new full body security scanners going into airports across the United States can actually see through clothing and produce very clear and very detailed images of the exposed bodies of everyone who walks through them.  While many Americans are actually welcoming the new machines, the truth is that there [...]]]></description>

<p>Brian:</p>
<p>Call me old-fashioned but the idea of multiple random strangers being able to see my wife and children as good as naked creates a severe sense of violation. When I consider the fact that already existing detection devices reinforced with additional K-9 units would not only be just as effective, less intrusive, and cost millions of dollars less to implement I have to wonder what practical reasons remain to push this new technology. It seems to me like the underwear bomber story is being used as just another excuse, in a long line of excuses, to once again relieve scared Americans of their freedom, privacy, and dignity.</p>
<p>Once upon a time there was a nation that was more afraid of losing their freedom than their lives; they were more scared of tyranny than terrorists; they did not hide behind their government every time calamity fell but united together as a people to overcome any establishment that dared to harm or oppress them. Whether or not this remains a fact or becomes a fairytale is up to us.</p>
<p>Jeremiah:</p>
<p>I’m certainly not okay with ANYBODY staring at my 9 year old niece’s naked body just because she wants to fly out with her parents to visit.</p>
<p>I’m also not okay with ANYBODY viewing my wife, mother, grandparents, children, friends, enemies, or YOU.</p>
<p>“Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” -Benjamin Franklin</p>
<p>Bob:</p>
<p>This country is filled with idiotic cowards.</p>
<p>Privacy issues aside, this scanner CANNOT detect the PETN explosive that the underwear bomber had.</p>
<p>I repeat, the PETN explosive CANNOT be detected by this machine.</p>
<p>I saw a poll saying about 80% of Americans are in favor of these scanners. Do Americans no longer have critical thinking skills? Are we all idiots? WTF</p>
<p>In order to require people to get a pat down or get seen naked required a Constitutional Amendment. The 4th Amendment is very clear, probably cause and a warrant are needed to search people. Airport procedures completely violate this Amendment.</p>
<p>Whether one wants or does not want these procedures, the fact remains that the Constitution has a process for changing Constitutionally protected rights. Pat downs and body scanners at airports require a Constitutional Amendment, not a normal Congressional bill along with a nod and a wink from the SCOTUS.</p>
