Bill Gates did a talk at TED last February about his theory that we can only reach zero emissions by reducing either our population, services, energy, or carbon output to zero. Personally I’m not a big fan of man made climate change however I’m all for using this planet in a more efficient way – so I was interested in what he had to say.
And what he shared stopped me dead in my tracks. The above is his equation for carbon emissions and what contributes to it. You can see that “people” is mentioned first – and that makes sense as the more people there are, the more emissions.
Because having people on this planet is a given, I thought Gates would spend most of his time on the other areas – and he did, but it’s what he said about people that shocked me.
“The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent”
Check out the video below…
That equates to up to a billion people less if they do a good job on “vaccines…reproductive health services….” In other words, can this mean that they will create vaccines that will kill people and promote abortion that will lower the earths population by up to a billion people?
I don’t know, you tell me. What is true is that Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey Warren Buffet, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg met in early 2009 and on top of the agenda was population control. This meeting come a few weeks after the Bilderberg Group met in Greece where population control was again on top of the agenda.
According to a former Bilderberg member, UK Economist Will Hutton, the ultimate goals of the Bilderbergers are plain and simple…
“The primary goals of the Bilderberg Group are a one-world government, a one-world monetary system and a vast reduction in world population. And to no one’s surprise, the Bilderbergers would like very much to be in charge of that government.”
For a long time, these discussions remained in the minds of pot smoking conspiracy theorists. However, it’s actually the Bilderbergers and their henchmen who are now coming out of the closet and actually stating their goals in plain site.
And the mechanism that allows them to do so, and for their message to be accepted without question is the fear around climate change. Bill Gate’s presentation at TED’s is a classic example of their agenda marching forward and the scary thing is that the public swallows the pill without even batting an eyelid.

I’m not a Jew. But I love the Jew. I don’t live in Israel. But I have been there. And the pull on my heart the place has on me is something I just can’t explain. I am simply a goy living in Australia, but I spend much of my day thinking about the significance of the Jewish state.
As a Christian, the rebirth of Israel is a huge event. After the horrors of the Holocaust, this nation was reborn miraculously and spot on time according to the prophecies uttered about it millennia ago.
Ezekiel 37 is a well known passage of Scripture where God supernaturally transports Ezekiel to a valley of dry bones and makes him prophesy over them to come alive. Many have connected this passage to the horror of the Holocaust and the rebirth of the nation of Israel.
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry.
And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord GOD, you know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones:
Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the LORD.”
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them.
But there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” Eze 37:1-9 ESV
This passage is especially important given that the proceeding chapter, Ezekiel 36, talks about the rebirth of Israel. So when Ezekiel carries out his prophetic mission, look out for the result…
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. Eze 37:10 ESV
What I find astonishing is that a major reality of a reborn Israel is that it’s army will be “an exceedingly great army!” Quite ironic given the fact that it was the Nazi war machine which almost destroyed it. That, plus given the fact that Israel was to be surrounded by hostile nations wanting to “wipe them off the map.”
One could say that Israel was destined to have an “exceedingly great army” and in just over 60 years, Israel now ranks 11th in terms of simply weaponry. But what it lacks in size, it makes up in expertise – shown time and time again in repelling the angry Arab nations surrounding it.
Dig a little deeper and you will find the real reason behind the strength of the IDF – God. This is captured so beautifully in the following Scripture..
Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?
For as soon as Zion was in labor she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?” says the LORD; “shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?” says your God. Isa 66:8-9 ESV
To paraphrase, God is saying, “I’m going to birth the nation Of Israel very quickly. And after I give it birth, I will protect it.” The hate filled, surrounding Arab nations wanted to commit infanticide on Zion’s child – but the One who allowed Zion’s children to be reborn in Israel wasn’t about to let this happen.
In miraculously won wars over subsequent years, Zion’s children grew in strength and numbers. But with wars and rumours of wars a very real reality in the land of Israel, one gets the impression that 11th ranked Israel is moving step by step closer to fulfilling it’s destiny of being an exceedingly great army.
Zion’s children are passionate about their land. Zion’s children are a smart people. Zion’s children have first class technology. But most importantly, Zion’s children have a mandate from God to be in the land and have their God looking out for them for the sake of His name.
And one day, when Zion’s children and their exceedingly great army will face an impossible in gathering of it’s enemies from many nations of the earth, Zion’s children will be rescued by God and Zion’s children will have their eyes open to the reality of Jesus.
Until that day, the IDF is growing. And the following series of video’s captures this reality in an awesome way.

On September 20, 2000, The world was shocked to view the footage of a 12 year old boy hiding behind his father while caught in cross fire between Israeli and Palestinian forces.
Tragically, the boy, Muhammed al-Durrah and his father, Jamal al-Durrah, were killed and the footage spread like wild fire through out the western world thanks to footage taken by France 2 camera man Talal Abu Rahma.
In typical fashion, the world crucified Israel for it’s abuse and heavy use of fire power over the innocent Palestinian population. And Muhammed al-Durrah quickly became the Intifada Icon.
However, what most people don’t realize is that there are many holes in this story and subsequent investigations reveal that the whole event was staged and exploited against the Israeli’s. This is aptly covered by the following video and covered in the Wikipedia article on the incident.
This incident sparked the interest of Pierre Rehov – the pseudonym of a French filmmaker who happens to be Jewish. Since this incident, he has produced a number of films on the Arab-Israeli conflict. His YouTube account states, “Those clips are not politically correct. But the truth is rarely politically correct.”
In an age which is more than ready to condemn Israel and it’s hardline stance to protect itself, these documentaries are a must view in order to educate yourself to the realities this nation faces.
Below are some of his documentaries I have found online. Please check out his website for more information.

Came across this very interesting short film by “We The People Will Not Be Chipped.” In a nutshell it chronicles the historic activities of IBM and how the company provided the “information technology” to the Nazi regime through their, at the time, revolutionary technology via their punch-card systems.
Fast forward to our day and discover how IBM has evolved this technology and is in collaboration with companies such as VeriChip – the manufacturers of implantable RFID chips, amongst others, and where this technology currently lies and the serious ramifications where this could lead us.
A lot of people have spoken out against the VeriChip being the “mark of the beast” in these “last times.” I believe that the Anti Christ will use the latest in human technology to ensnare and make captive mankind in fulfilment of the well know following passage in Revelation..
Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. Rev 13:16-18
The above is obviously talking about the Anti Christ establishing an economic system and, in doing so, hold mankind to ransom. Is the VeriChip this technology? No one really knows. But I get a sneaking suspicion that the VeriChip as we know it, is not the pinnacle of this technology. It’s been around for years and is, by today’s standards, quite old technology.
But what this video shows very clearly is the evolution of this technology from the days of the Nazis to today and the future plans for it. What started off as a device to help Alzheimer’s is now being touted as a great tool to helping diabetics (read clearly: more people with implantable chips).
Also being pushed is how good this technology is for epidemics and so called pandemics such as the swine flu. Imagine implanting these chips into the population to help the authorities deal with pandemics? (read clearly: forcing even more people to have implantable chips via fabricated global emergencies).
Learn how contracts are being dished out to establish a network of low orbiting satellites designed to read these implantable chips from space – thereby tracking every person on this planet with a chip. In my mind, this rabbit hole gets a whole lot deeper when you begin to imagine how nanotechnology may have a part to play in this theatre also.
Combine all this and you get the sneaking suspicion that what we know about the VeriChip is only the tip of the iceberg and companies such as IBM are working on far more sophisticated models then what we would ever know. But to get your primer on this whole area, I hope you enjoy the following playlist of video’s..

“We’ll make the world abandon reason. We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas is Mother Theresa.”
So go the lyrics to the parody video that’s come out of Latma – the Hebrew media satire website in light of the Israeli “raid” on “a oh so very peaceful” activist ship choka block full of “aid” to Gaza – while publically admitting their main aim was to infiltrate the blockade.
At the time of writing this, the clip has been viewed just under 1,000,000 times in 4 days. One would say this has gone viral. It’s interesting to read all the comments – even I joined in. Hope you enjoy the following clip…
Maybe, just maybe, a stupid and gullible world is finally starting to stir and wake up to the farce behind this story and realise that Israel has a right to defend itself. After all, the gathering of Israel into the Promised land is step one of God’s plan. The destruction of it’s enemies and the awakening of Israel to their Messiah is part 2. Oh how the peace loving “christians” hate this talk and the liberals and left wingers (and some right wingers) hate this talk, but, at the end of days, this will happen.
Better choose a side sooner or later. For me, as a lay guy, the choice is easy. We live in a world where the “god” of this world – being Satan, has blinded people to the truth of Jesus and His glorious Gospel message.
At the same time, he has blinded the world to God’s redemptive work He will carry out through the people of Israel and has replaced this reality, in the Christian world, with “replacement theology”, and in the secular world, with anti Semitism. And trust me, even these boundaries are blurred.
And when events like this happen, to me, it exposes the work the enemy has achieved into the mindset of man – the hatred of the Jews as God’s chosen people. The enemy has blinded mankind and is a master of media manipulation as journalists “chase down their careers” as they pursue the big stories and executives bow down to the sponsoring dollar knowing full well what they can and can’t discuss – thus the media becomes the ultimate PR tool. Just turn on your TV to witness the nations rage against God’s chosen. And chosen they are…
“As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs” Rom 11:28
Christians – abandon your foolish anti Jewish mindset – as far as the Gospel is concerned, we don’t have much in common with the Jews. But in terms of being loved by God, the people are loved and protected under an ancient covenant that allows God to act in any way He pleases. The net result of this can be captured in the following verse..
Thus says the Lord of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” Zech 8:23
I’m not putting the Jews on a pedestal and neither do I agree with all their actions. But they are unique as a nation in that their journey is always chronicled – be it by God via the scriptures or by man via the media. And I can tell you that if any nation was under the same scrutiny, well, let’s just say that they would also be hated.
But in the end, as God’s chosen people, and being enlightened by God about the reality of the Messiah, the Jew will be a truly unique human race…
“So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!” Rom 11:11
“For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?” Rom 11:15
Don’t be blind to what God is doing through the Jews. It’s all part of the plan and the enemy knows it and is trying his hardest to blind you. Take off your blindfold.

By Leslie H. Gelb, a former New York Times columnist and senior government official, author and president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations. From Daily Beast
Israel had every right under international law to stop and board ships bound for the Gaza war zone late Sunday. Only knee-jerk left-wingers and the usual legion of poseurs around the world would dispute this. And it is pretty clear that this "humanitarian" flotilla headed for Gaza aimed to provoke a confrontation with Israel. Various representatives of the Free Gaza Movement, one of the main organizers of this deadly extravaganza, have let it slip throughout Monday that their intention was every bit as much "to break" Israel’s blockade of Gaza as to deliver the relief goods.
The Israeli commandos who stormed the ship, where fighting erupted, badly mishandled the situation. But theirs was a mistake in pursuit of a legal goal, not a war crime. And as for calls for international investigations, they represent the usual hypocritical nonsense that will go nowhere. Except for those who routinely fool themselves about the judiciousness and effectiveness of action by the United Nations or the European Union, everyone understands their "investigations" will amount to nothing. Only the United States might do something useful—if the White House would only seize quickly the practical solution staring it in the face.
Israel has every right to protect itself under international law, including by blockades in international waters.
Regarding international law, blockades are quite legal. The United States and Britain were at war with Germany and Japan and blockaded them. I can’t remember international lawyers saying those blockades were illegal—even though they took place on the high seas in international waters. There would be a general violation only if the hostile actions against the ships took place in waters under the jurisdiction of another sovereign state. Thus, for example, if the Israelis stopped the ships in Egyptian waters, that would have been a violation.
On a more tactical level, violations could occur if the force used to block and board were "disproportionate" to the circumstances. Those friendly to Gaza aboard the ship claim disproportionality, but this is not supported by the video available. In any event, and as a practical matter, no one is going to be able to prove exactly what happened on that ship Sunday night. Nonetheless, the overriding facts remain that Gazan leaders proclaim their goal is to destroy Israel, have tried for years to do so by missile attacks and terrorism, and that Israel has every right to protect itself under international law, including by blockades in international waters.
As for what the planners of this "humanitarian" flotilla had in mind, just listen to what the leaders of this enterprise have been saying. Greta Berlin, a leader of the pro-Palestinian Free Gaza Movement, told The New York Times that the Israeli claim that the people aboard the ship intended violence was preposterous. She argued that it was inconceivable that the civilian passengers on board would have been "waiting up to fire on the Israeli military, with all its might." By that keen logic, no Palestinian ever would have fired upon a militarily superior Israeli. We seem to know otherwise.
Or listen to Huwaida Arraf, one of the Free Gaza Movement leaders. She said on Sunday before the incident that the boats would steam forward to Gaza "until they either disable our boats or jump on board." How on earth did she expect that strategy would not lead to violence?
On what remains of the old Lehrer News Hour, Adam Shapiro, another Free Gaza guy, said Monday night that the flotilla aimed to break the blockade as well as deliver aid. Well, of course, no one asked him how he thought the blockade would be broken without violence. It couldn’t—unless the flotilla escaped detection. And with six ships in the flotilla, that was highly unlikely.
So, the Free guys and gals achieved their real purpose—to provoke the Israelis, hope they did stupid things (which they did by boarding the ship with commandos who weren’t prepared to do this job), and stirred international outrage.
Ah, the international outrage. Turks, French, all leaders large and small condemned Israel and called for international commissions. Ban Ki-Moon, the United Nations Secretary-General, said he was "shocked" by the attack. He condemned the violence, and added: "It is vital that there is a full investigation to determine exactly how this bloodshed took place. I believe Israel must urgently provide a full explanation."
Well, where was all that international outrage and demand for explanations and retribution when the North Koreans sunk a South Korean ship? Where was it when the Gazans attacked Israel? Where, when Afghan men flogged their women for not wearing veils? Where, when Saudi Arabia funds terrorists around the world? This international outrage is highly selective, isn’t it? The one consolation is that the international community, such as it has become, doesn’t get anything of value done.
Which puts matters in the American lap, as usual. There is a reasonable solution to this terrible dilemma: The Gazan people are in need of food and medicine, and Israel must protect itself against Gazan terrorists. President Obama should propose this simple arrangement: First, those wishing to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza agree to land aircraft, dock ships, and use land checkpoints all reasonably designated by Israel for inspection of contents. Second, Israel agrees to inspect cargoes within two to three days, and allow all humanitarian goods to proceed to Gaza immediately.
The United States surely has the power to accomplish this. It would prevent much needless killing and haggling—and phony posturing around the world. And if one or both sides rejected the deal, then that one, or the both of them, are on their own.
