AFEEB) on 24 and 25 October 2009 in Luxembourg discussed the future world order and global governance.

The programme included a presentation of the concept of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly (UNPA)

Outlining the path towards a directly elected world parliament, Mr Bummel stressed the "spiritual dimension" of the efforts. "The establishment of a UN Parliamentary Assembly would represent a changed consciousness. For the first time in human history such a body would establish a direct political connection between every human being and the planet,"

Among other things Mr Billion stressed the success of the international coalition of non-governmental organizations

"new world order"

one hundred years ago, Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í Faith, invoked the phrase

a world government, an elected world parliament, a binding world tribunal, and a world police force.

After ‘Dollhouse’ Cancelled – Joss Whedon Fans Wonder What’s Next

Joss Whedon may have lost his shirt gambling on Dollhouse, but his fans never seem to lose faith in him. Dollhouse was cancelled by FOX this week after failing to draw in competitive ratings for the show’s second season, but Whedon fans continue to believe in his talent despite his seemingly cursed track record of cancelled series.

The Similing Way..

Sufism, generally referred to as the mystical or "inner" dimension of Islam, which tends to put a focus on one's individual relation to God through guidance from a spiritual elder, has been around almost since the beginning of the religion. It is worldwide.

Somehow, for all of my stuttering, stammering, rationalizing, sometimes authentic, mostly sinful, always perplexed approach to faith, it has been these austere Sufis, with their stentorian obeisance to a higher principle, their complete surrender to the authority of a saintly figure, their often pre-modern outlook, who have been most inclined to embrace me without asking questions. They retain a view towards chaos of the world that is not merely hopeful, but outright cheerful, a smile stretched eternally onto the face of the faith. For all of us melancholics and obsessives and loners and miscreants, with our spiritual gastroenteritis and Nietzschean dyspepsia, the existence of the Sufis is thoroughly soothing, even if we never join

'Counterfeit clergy' back DC's same-sex 'marriage' push

'Counterfeit clergy' back DC's same-sex 'marriage' push

The District of Columbia City Council has changed a proposed ordinance legalizing same-gender "marriage" to supposedly add protection for pastors. The ordinance was supported by a coalition of area clergy.

"Well, this is just a cheap political stunt," he responds. "These are a group of leftist secularists essentially dressed up in the garb of clergy....[W]hat do you do call clergy who abandon the fundamental tenets of their faith and adopt instead the lies of the world? I call them counterfeit clergy."

Barber adds that "they want to have their religion cake and eat it too." He explains.

"They are going to push a leftist political agenda that runs completely counter to biblical principles," he asserts. "The ridiculous and oxymoronic notion of same-sex marriage flies in the face of every major world religion."

Penny Stocks Works

clipper's remarks: Trading penny stocks can be helpful if you have brokers and advisers. To support your investment, the investor should have a healthy knowledge of the penny stock market. It is important to keep track of the trend and observe the shares before you trade. It will lend a hand to make sound decisions. To accomplish more information, please pay a visit penny stocks

How Penny Stocks Work?

A penny stock is a common stock that trade for less than two cents a share and are traded over the counter (OTC) through quotation services such as the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets. Even if a penny stock is said to be "thinly traded," share volumes traded daily can be in the hundreds of millions for a sub-penny stocks. Legitimate information on penny stocks companies can be difficult to find and a stock can be easily manipulated.

You may make your mind up that you want to make the most of possible stock market gains by paying for penny stocks in other companies yourself. Your dealings will work the similar way. You may try to take benefit of the penny stocks company that convinces you most. You want to earn money on the action, as a result you call your broker, or pay a visit to a brokerage online, to place your order. Later on, you become part owner of the new business, and hopefully stock prices will imitate the faith you have placed in them.

The Camel In The Room

clipper's remarks: His former imam from the Falls Church, Virginia mosque where he once worshipped has said so, and indeed has said that, as a Muslim, Major Hasan could do nothing else other than what he did.

Note this phrase from the title: “US Terrorist Army Base.” Major Hasan is a psychiatrist, so he should know that projection–literally, “throwing off on the other person”–is one of the most common defenses that people employ when they think, or especially do, things of which they should, at the very least, be ashamed.

But the most damning piece of evidence was Hasan’s infamous “Grand Rounds” that he delivered back in 2007 while at Walter Reed Hospital, titled “The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military.” In that presentation, which any reader can view in its entirety at the above link, Hasan repeatedly cited and often quoted surah and ayah (i.e., chapter and verse) from the Koran to justify some very forthright, even brazen commentary on the relationships

President Obama spoke at that event, as he could hardly have failed to do. But neither he nor anyone else present seemed to want to discuss the camel in the room, which is terrorism.

It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy. But this much we do know: no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor. For what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice–in this world, and the next.

Obama did say one correct thing in the above paragraph: that no just and loving God looks with favor on acts of this kind. A careful read of the Koran and the Hadiths shows that the Allah of Islam is anything but loving, and that Allah’s idea of justice is simple: Follow My law, or My servants will make sure that you die slowly and painfully.

This statement, however, is incorrect: that no faith justifies such acts. Wrong, Mr. President. Classical Islam not only justifies such acts; it commands them.

Christian Books Reviews

clipper's remarks: It depends where you are in your life and what type of guidance you’re after. There are books dedicated to men, women, prosperity, healing…just about any topic you can think of.

Christian literature may be new to you yet you could be going through a tough time right at the moment. Check the reviews of some of the more popular titles for a start and once you become more familiar with this niche then you’ll be amazed how one book leads you to another.

But the important thing to remember is, no one Christian piece is going to provide the solution you need on a one off basis but will make you sit and think about yourself and your life and the magic happens in their ability to suddenly make something that looked impossible look clear. And it could be just a small adjustment in the way you look at things that can make all the difference.

Practical advice relayed in a calm and easy to understand fashion is the cornerstone of the power of Christian literature. There are many issues affecting us today from economic struggle to sex to stress – the faith to carry on and ride out these storms of distress can be found in the pages of both paid and free Christian books.

clipper's remarks: 5. While Obama criticized Bush for "a doubling of the national debt," the federal debt held by the public went from 35.1% of GDP in 2000 to 40.8% of GDP in 2008 -- an increase of 16% as of fraction of GDP. What is it expected to be in 2016 under Obama's budget plan?

6. Obama criticized Bush for Guantanamo, military tribunals, wiretaps, troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and "signing statements." Which one of these Bush practices has Obama ended?

Clip Source: www.americanthinker.com

1. President Bush was famous for lacking "intellectual curiosity," while President Obama has been called "the smartest guy ever to become President." Who reads more books: Bush or Obama?

2. Bush was often considered to be in the grip of Big Oil. In contrast, Obama is a Harvard-educated lawyer. Which industry contributed more than five times as much as the other to politicians: the oil & gas industry, or lawyers/law firms?

3. Bush's Christian faith was at the core of his political identity, and he was considered to be in the grip of the "religious right," while Obama is considered more open-minded. In fact, Obama has said, "my faith is one that admits some doubt." Which one refers to Jesus more in public speeches?

4. Bush was criticized for excessive federal spending and running up huge deficits. Bush's deficit in 2008 was the largest in history.

Whose deficit was more than triple the size of the other's: Bush's in 2008 or Obama's in 2009?

Leader: Revelations

LEADER How do I know this? Let me read to you where I found the answer, where I so often find the answer. In the Scripture. Revelations.

"If any man have an ear, let him hear."

"He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; he that killeth with the sword shall be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the Saints."

"And I beheld another beast coming out of the Earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spake as a dragon."

"And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from Heaven on the Earth in the sight of men."

"And he deceiveth them that dwell on the Earth by the means of those miracles which he had the power to do --"

LEADER Good evening London. As Leader of this great country, I felt it imperative to speak with you and to assure you once and for all that the shadow that recently fell across our land has indeed passed.

What we have endured this long year was no accident, no mere coincidence.

No, this was a test.

It was not me, nor the Party, nor the government that was threatened this year. It was our beliefs. Our faith. I believe that God himself bore witness to our struggle and like Job I believe that we have been vindicated.

clipper's remarks: “We don’t know all the answers yet, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts,” Obama said. “What we do know is that there are families, friends and an entire nation grieving right now for the valiant men and women who came under attack ... in one of the worst mass shootings ever to take place on an American military base.”

Obama followed up in his weekly address Saturday, noting that U.S. troops are “Americans of every race, faith and station.

“They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers,” he said. “They are descendants of immigrants and immigrants themselves. They reflect the diversity that makes this America. But what they share is a patriotism like no other.”

Even as Obama treads cautiously, Connecticut Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, the chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, called the shooting “a terrorist act” and said he plans to begin an investigation into whether . . .

“And frankly I am worried — I’m not worried, but I’m concerned — that this increased speculation could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers.”

The potential for mistreatment of Muslim soldiers is such a concern that Casey said he has asked Army leaders “to be on the lookout” for it.

“As great a tragedy as this was, it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well,” he said.

Army psychologist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspect in the shooting that left 13 people dead and more than 30 wounded, is in stable condition after being shot multiple times and is said to be speaking with authorities.

The rising concern about discrimination against Muslim troops as a result is wrenching for Obama, who as president has made it his personal mission to tamp down inflammatory rhetoric and bridge the divide between Muslims and Americans of other faiths.

The White House has been reluctant to characterize the shooting, instead noting repeatedly that it is under investigation.
