X-Files: PROPHECY - The Next 1000 Years

Prophecies from the Egyptians, the Bible, the Mayans, Hopi Indians, Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce all agree that the world will face a series of cataclysmic disasters over the next one thousand years. Join X-Files today as it opens the file on PROPHECY - The Next 1000 Years. Watch video below.

Prophecy is a process in which one or more messages that have been communicated to a prophet are then communicated to others. Such messages typically involve divine inspiration, interpretation, or revelation of conditioned events to come (cf. divine knowledge) as well as testimonies or repeated revelations that the world is divine. The process of prophecy especially involves reciprocal communication of the prophet with the (divine) source of the messages. Various concepts of prophecy are found throughout all of the world's religions and cults. To a certain degree prophecy can be an integral concept within any religion or cult. The term has found deep usage in two of the world's largest religious groups, Christianity and Islam, along with many others.

Prophecy is by no means new or limited to any one culture. It is a common property to all known ancient societies around the world, some more than others. Many systems and rules about prophecy have been proposed over several millennia.

Drawing from an encyclopedic range of ancient and modern sources, as well as from interviews with scholars and political and financial experts, the video presented below moves from the pyramids of Giza to the banking centers of Wall Street, from Mayan temples in Mexico to the shrieks of jets bound for the bombing fields of Kosovo and Iraq. It weaves a fascinating web of seemingly unrelated events that, when taken together, reveal an astonishing similarity to prophecies from thousands of years ago.

Putin to Top Generals: “Prepare For Armageddon”

A grim Federal Security Services (FSB) report on Prime Minister Putin’s plan to meet China’s leader Hu Jintao in Beijing last week warned that both Russian and Chinese military forces are being placed on their "highest alert" in anticipation of a massive land invasion believed being planned by the United States of both the Middle East and Central Asia. The plans for this “Total Global War” the Americans are preparing to launch were first revealed to China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) by the former Blackwater mercenary Bryan Underwood who is currently being held by US authorities for spying.

Within hours of Putin’s reading of the coming US plans for Total Global War, this report says, he wrote a rare article in the Izvestia daily outlining a grand project to integrate post-Soviet states into closer cooperation, scheduled an emergency trip to China to meet with Hu, and ordered the FSB to notify China’s MSS of the arrest and detention of their spy Tun Sheniyun who was captured last year for attempting to steal sensitive information on Russia’s most powerful anti-aircraft system.

As we had detailed in our previously mentioned report, the “New Great Game” moves being planned by the Americans that is striking fear into both Russia and China includes:

• 1.) The deliberate implosion of both the US and EU economies in order to destroy the Global Financial System that has been in place since the ending of World War II
• 2.) The launching of a massive conventional war by the US and EU on the North American, African and Asian Continents to include the Middle East
• 3.) During this all-out war the deliberate releasing of bio-warfare agents meant to kill off millions, if not billions, of innocent civilians
• 4.) At the height of this war the US and its allies will sue for peace and call for a new global order to be established in order to prevent the total destruction of our planet.

Meanwhile, an unidentified source within the US Department of Defense (DOD) further warned that the Obama regime was preparing for a massive “tank-on-tank” war and that US military forces are “expecting something conventional, and big, coming down the pipe relatively soon.”

To how close this war may be the FSB in their report states that it will be “much sooner than later” as the Americans have pre-positioned in Iraq nearly 2,000 of their M1 Abrams main battle tanks, have pre-positioned another 2,000 of them in Afghanistan, and between the Middle East and Asia have, likewise, put into these war theaters tens-of-thousands of other typed armored vehicles.

The “final piece” for the activation of this massive armored force, standing poised like a dagger at the heart of both Asia and the Middle East, the FSB says, is the call for a “Full Mobilization” of over 1.5 million American reserve forces which can occur at “at a moments notice” as the US is currently at war and needs no further authorization from its Congress to expand their areas of operation.

Important to note about the American plan for global domination through massive warfare is that it is not really a secret, and as (curiously) revealed on the tenth anniversary of the 11 September attacks upon the United States when the US National Security Archive released a memo written by former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in September 2001wherein he warned “If the war does not significantly change the world's political map, the US will not achieve its aim.”

To what the “aim” of the United States is as their war against the world has now entered its 10th year, the FSB says, is to prevent “at all costs” the implosion of the US Dollar as the main reserve currency of the present global economic system before the West’s envisioned “New World Order” can be established.

The first threat to the Americans “master plan” for global hegemony came in November 2000 when the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein quit accepting US Dollars for oil and, instead, stated his country would only accept Euros.  In less than 10 months the US was attacked and used that as an excuse to topple Hussein and reestablish the US Dollar as the world’s main reserve currency.

Interesting to note is the failure of Libya’s former leader Gaddafi’s plan to introduce the gold dinar, a single African currency that would serve as an alternative to the US Dollar and allow African nations to share the wealth, but which like Iraq’s Hussein “plan” brought a swift and brutal invasion by the Americans and their Western allies to keep it from happening.

The only nation that has successfully abandoned the US Dollar is Iran, who since February 2009 abandoned all American currency opting instead to value their oil and gas in Euros. Iran, however, and unlike oil rich Iraq and Libya, has not been attacked due to the Iranians having acquired from Ukraine between 6-10 nuclear armed X-55 missiles (range of 3,000km [2,000 miles]) in 2005. [Note: Former Ukraine President Viktor Yushchenko stated that the missiles sold to Iran did not contain their nuclear tips, a statement disputed by the FSB who states they were armed and “ready to fire.”]

This FSB report further states that both Putin and Hu were “enraged” by the deception of the West in regards to Libya, who after being given “absolute assurances” by the Obama regime that they weren’t planning an invasion, broke their word and did it anyway.

Russian and China, in turn, stopped the West’s plan for another war this week by their vetoing the US-backed plan in the United Nations Security Council to turn Syria into another Libya. So angry did the Americans become that their furious UN envoy Susan Rice stormed out of the meeting after the West didn’t get what it wanted.

Even worse for the West’s war plan against Syria was its President warning this week that if his nation was attacked by NATO he would cause to be fired hundreds of missiles into Israel’s most populated city of Tel Aviv within six hours, which would, of course, bring about a catastrophic nuclear response.

And in a preemptory move to counter the planned American blitzkrieg into Central Asia and Pakistan from Afghanistan, Indian Army Chief General VK Singh warned yesterday that thousands of Chinese military forces have now moved into Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir joining an estimated 11,000 more of them believed to have entered that region in the past year.

To the coming deliberate implosion by the US of the global economy, the FSB further says in their report, it now appears “certain” after a new report emerged this past from Philippa Malmgren, a former economics adviser to President George W. Bush, stating that Germany was preparing to abandon the Euro and has ordered the printing of Deutsche Marks to replace it.

Most frightening of everything in this FSB report, however, is the reply Putin gave to Russia’s top generals yesterday when asked what preparations should be made and he answered…. “Prepare for Armageddon.”

SUNDAY GARDENING - Ananas Comosus

Contributed By Martha Plousos

Plowing Through Life

The first thing I’m going to tell you is that Ananas comosus is not an epiphyte like Aechmea fasciata or Vriesea splendens or the cute little Tillandsia plants, all of which are bromeliad cousins. What this means is that if you expose the roots of this lovely plant to the air by removing them from the soil (or whatever other growing medium you’re using, like clay pellets) to attach them to driftwood or a seashell or some type of magnet, you will kill this plant. This is a terrestrial bromeliad and it needs to be grown in a pot with an appropriate medium. So, don’t go pulling any epiphytic moves with this bromeliad. Big no-no. Capiche?

Okay.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’m going to tell you another thing: this plant is very easy to grow indoors provided you aren’t growing one for the fruit; the chances of your Ananas comosus producing a pineapple – no matter how perfect the growing conditions - are very slim. Very. Grow it for its interesting foliage and its ease of cultivation, not its fruit. If you want pineapple, visit your local grocery store.

So.

Alright, now let’s talk about care, starting with light, which Ananas comosus needs lots of. Especially sun. Provide this bromeliads with plenty of bright light, preferably a few hours of sunshine a day. Without adequate light, it will stop growing (or grow very slowly) and the leaves with be smaller, thinner. This terrestrial must receive adequate amounts of light; if you can’t provide that, don’t grow it.

Choose an airy, fast-growing medium and water thoroughly when the plant is thirsty; do not water again until the plant dries somewhat. Ananas comosus is a prime candidate for rot from over-watering, so it’s wise to be careful with the watering can. Reduce watering significantly during the winter when the plant is resting. This is a great candidate for hydroculture. Simply remove the plant from the pot, wash the roots free of soil and place in a container with clay pebbles. Water roots should form within 4 to 6 weeks.

Like all bromeliads, above average humidity levels between 40 to 60 percent are greatly appreciated but often difficult to maintain in the average home, especially during the colder months of the year when heating systems cause humidity levels to plummet. Increase humidity if possible, but don’t fret; Ananas comosus tolerates dry air better than most indoor plants.

Average room temperatures are fine but if you’re determined to try and make your Ananas comosus bear fruit, temperatures of 24°C (75°F) and above may be required. When the plant is a few years old, it may produce a sturdy stem bearing small flowers that are surrounded by pretty, colourful bracts. Soon after, a small fruit will appear. Even though this whole process is not easily achieved when this plant is cultivated indoors, it’s certainly worth a try; you really have nothing to lose.

During the active growing season, if your plant is growing in ideal conditions, feed it every two weeks or once a month with a general liquid fertilizer that is diluted to half strength or less. Do not feed during the winter months or if your plant is growing in poor lighting.


That’s all there is to it folks; it doesn’t get any easier than this. This plant is definitely worth trying indoors, as long as you have a sunny spot for it.

Canada comes to grips with soaring heart failure costs

Heart failure (HF) costs are headed for the economic stratosphere, even as researchers come up with simple tests and strategies to bring them back to earth. An assessment of the growing problem and a new initiative to curb costs and increase efficacy in dealing with heart failure patients when they present to emergency departments were the subject of two major studies presented at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress 2011, co-hosted by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society.

Approximately half a million Canadians have heart failure. Ten per cent or 50,000 of those patients will have advanced heart failure with a 50 per cent chance of surviving one year. The number of patients living with heart failure is on the rise because more people are surviving heart attacks thanks to improved diagnosis and treatment.

According to Dr. Debbie Feldman of the faculty of medicine and the school of rehabilitation at the University of Montreal, the role played by the hospital emergency department (ED) is crucial in securing successful outcomes in HF treatment, both medically and economically. In Dr. Feldman's study, which was carried out in eight Quebec hospitals, less than a third of patients who visited an emergency department for heart failure were followed up within two weeks – the time period recommended by Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) guidelines. This is very troubling, says Dr. Feldman, whose study shows, for the first time, that lack of adherence to the CCS guidelines is associated with worse outcomes.

All 551 patients in Dr. Feldman's study had a diagnosis of heart failure confirmed when they presented to the ED. Their average age was 75 years; 51 per cent were males, and 49 per cent were females. By four weeks following discharge from the ED, 51 per cent had consulted with a physician. Over the six month follow-up period, 25 per cent returned to the ED, and 14 per cent died.

Patients who were seen within the two week period as recommended by the CCS had fewer adverse events: they were less likely to return to the ED, be hospitalized, or die, although the result was not statistically significant. However, the tendency to have worse outcomes, which were deemed to be more deaths, more readmissions to hospital for heart failure, or a repeat visit to the emergency department, was significantly greater in patients who were not seen by a physician until four weeks after their visit to the ED. "Patients who do not receive prompt follow up (somewhere between 2 and 4 weeks) after their ED visit are at higher risk of dying, or being readmitted to the ED or to the hospital," Dr. Feldman said.

Dr. Feldman's study also found that by six weeks, 61 per cent of patients had been seen by a physician, and by three months, 95 per cent had been seen. "It's urgent to ensure that there is appropriate follow up for these patients," says Dr. Blair O'Neill, president of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. "We need to optimize adherence to these guidelines." New simple risk score can guide admission vs. discharge decision-making.

In another study, Dr. Douglas Lee, cardiologist at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre and scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES), told the meeting that it is only recently that tools have started to become available to allow physicians to make effective decisions based on acute prognosis of heart failure patients who present to the ED. "Despite over one million visits to the ED in North America every year, we still have very little evidence to help us decide who could be discharged home and who should be admitted to hospital," Dr. Lee said.

Meanwhile, heart failure is on the rise as more people survive heart attacks and other cardiac conditions. People with heart disease are living longer and these are people who are susceptible to heart failure. "We developed a risk score consisting of a set of simple questions and routinely available tests which we call the Emergency Heart Failure Mortality Risk Grade," Dr. Lee told the Congress. "It is a score that can be calculated in any emergency department and could be employed anywhere around the world because it does not require any sophisticated tests," he said.

This simple clinical risk model can predict, with high accuracy, mortality among HF patients who present to the ED and may guide admission versus discharge decision-making, he said. Dr. Lee and his team examined 12,591 patients with acute heart failure who presented to the ED between 2004 and 2007 in Ontario.They developed a clinical risk score that would predict the chances of a patient dying within seven days after discharge from the ED, using readily available factors.

The factors that predicted greater risk of dying within seven days included greater acuity (i.e., need for emergency medical services), even slightly elevated troponin levels, increased serum creatinine, and either high or low serum potassium. If patients developed heart failure while using Metolazone – a drug that sicker heart failure patients have to use – they were also at higher risk.

Systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation were also important predictors of mortality.

When all of these risk factors were combined, Dr. Lee and his team found that patients in the highest risk group had a seven-day mortality rate of about eight per cent, meaning that for every 12 patients in the highest risk group, one of them would die within seven days.

Patients in the lowest risk group – on the contrary – had a mortality rate of about 0.3 per cent, meaning that for every 350 patients who were discharged, there would be only one death. "This is an ongoing area of study. We haven't solved the problem yet, but it's a big step towards more evidence-based decision-making in the emergency department care of heart failure," Dr. Lee said. "In our next phase, we're working to develop a computerized system to calculate the score for physicians who work in the emergency department. We'd like to develop PDA and iPhone apps and other interactive technical tools in the future." "This style of medicine is clearly going to be an important component in shaping future clinical practice," says Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson Dr. Beth Abramson, who adds that early diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and appropriate drug treatments can help those with heart failure lead normal and active lives and successfully manage their conditions and live longer.
