Germany We need an EU flag icon! After all, we control the world!

I know I'm late but I had to comment on that:

Which of the 27 member states are not under the control of the European Union? Or does he mean that 10 nations that are not member states aare controlled? Which ones? And why not more? The EU is the world's biggest importer of goods and services (pdf) and should economically control more than 10 nations.

Many American Evangelical Protestants believe that the EU is a revival of the Roman Empire and the number 10 is important to them because they can tie it to a biblical passage. So, when Greece became the 10th EU member state they were ecstatic.

However, since the EU didn't stay at 10 members they've had to engage in bit of creative math. This site, for instance, speaks of an "original 10," implying the subsequent 17 don't really count. This site also claims the other 17 don't really count.

Other sites, like this one, claim political upheavals could reduce the number back to 10. This site, on the other hand, argues that they will combine into 10. I've also had it argued to me due to history that many now separate countries should be counted as one. Since Henry V declared himself king of France, for example, you could combine France and the UK as one nation this way. (You have to ignore the actions of a certain teenage girl. )

So basically what you are saying, Brian, is if you could connect the dots long enough you are sure to make your own prophecy of the Book of Revelation.

Exactly. This "connecting of the dots" of current events with the Bible in general and the Book of Revelation in particular has been going on for a long time. When I was in high school during the 70s I was "encouraged" (I need a stronger term but can't think of it) by the Campus Crusade for Christ kids to read Hal Lindsey's 1970 book The Late, Great Planet Earth, which predicted an EU run by the Antichrist by the 80s and Armageddon shortly afterwords.

Obviously, Mr. Lindsey and others like him have had to modify those predictions to reflect changing events. Also, I find it amusing that despite their claims of being strict biblical literalists their interpretations of the Book of Revelation, for example, are anything but literal.

Comment: in your article "post no bills" on folding a $20 bill to show
images of the twin towers, if you use the identical folding technique
described on the new $5,$10,$20,$50 and $100 bills you get identical
results,and when lined up in denomitaion order you get what appears to be
the chronological order of the demise of the towers.and as you said, these
bills were redesigned BEFORE sept. 11 2001, and yet depicts it in our own
currency

Comment: Sometime ago, I read an article by a former Congressman who said
that George H.W. Bush pushed through a bill disguised as an education bill
that effectively *made it legal to kill Christians. *It has something to
do with the Noahide Laws. *The bill was rushed through Congress with no
one opposed when Congress was in recess. *Do you have any info on this?

I don't think that is what he meant by "no child left behind."

Comment: Have you seen the new Starbucks LOGO? They have
proudly (and intentionally) included the Ilamic "Star and Crescent"! It's
on the thermal protective sleeves they slip over their hot cups. Now I

The new logo (of 2011) has a star, alright. A star that has been there since 1987 at least (see here or here). But where is the crescent supposed to be? And how are they supposed to have included something new at all, when all they did is getting rid of the outer rim of the logo they used before?

Tinfoil hats indeed.

Comment: I was told that Snipes.com is owned and run by the US government.
That all the "truth" is what THEY want you to know. Also that Tootle is
also government owned and run. What IS the TRUTH?

The truth is that there is no government! It's all a myth perpetuated by your parents and your teachers like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy!

Comment: Some people have referred to you as an "authority" to be looked
at in regard to rumours about the DNS Changer Virus. I think you have it
wrong.

Ever since Obama put America on the road to total tyranny, he's been doing
things way beyond the scope of his authority. Most would argue that he
has NO authority, since he is an illegitimate president anyway. That
said, the DNSChanger site is designed to go viral. Obama and his pac of
corrupt liberals want everyone on the planet to route their machines
through government servers so that they can tap into what you are doing.
At the moment, most of us are outside of the grid. The moment you connect
to the DCWG server test site, you will lose your privacy forever.

It is not what they say it is. It is a government trojan that is here to
monitor all that you do.

You can laugh this off, but that won't change the fact.

And so begins.... "The Freedom Underground" FU!

Comment: OBAMA Birth Certificate

You should reconsider pushing disinformation about Obama.

While you cite prejudicial sources, we know of his attempts to hide his
school records through Kagan, his grandmother's recorded birth statements,
his OWN STATEMENTS in the 1990's about where he was born (before the
Bilderbergs considered him as their presidential puppet), etc...

Bottom line... Please investigate the history of "Barry Soetoro."

Also, perhaps, if your up for an interesting challenge, and an EYE OPENER,
try to identify his actual Social Security Number and the other numbers he
has used... Explain that... if you dare!
HINT: Analyze his SSN regarding age and birth location...

The email address I gave is not the real address... I must protect those
of us who know who Obama really is...

Remember... you're never too old to learn the truth, UNTILL YOU'RE DEAD...

Ah the story of Pinocchio, the stringless puppet who ran for President and was challenged by opponents insisting that he was not an American citizen, one of my childhood favorites.

It's the learning after you're dead that's important, where all the good haunting spots are, not to let your body parts fall off as you are eating your victims, avoiding exorcists. Those are valuable learning experiences too you know!

Comment: I noticed you have dis-credited about an implanted device in a
person. Do you not think it is rather interesting that the Bible foretold
this 2,000 years ago and now there very well is coming a time when this
will happen.Whether it is in the health care law or not the tecnology is
out there and ready to be put in place. I hope you are ready
