WATCH OUT: HERE COMES THE PEACE TEAM
It would be difficult, it not impossible, not to have some mention of the
dramatic events now occurring in the Balkans. Let me state at the outset
that these events are not simple. The flashy pictures and sound bites only
scratch the surface of a conflict extending back hundreds of years. There
have been unspeakable atrocities carried out by all sides against each
other at some time in their history. At the moment, the Serbs have the
upper hand in the ongoing internecine warfare between Christian Serbs and
Moslem Albanians.
In any case, I would like to focus upon the implications of the crisis for
the Jewish people and for Israel. What is most relevant for Israel is the
behavior of the western powers, particularly the United States and the
European Union.
To begin, let us take a close look at the strategic and technical acumen,
as well as the overall dependability, of US President Bill Clinton and his
foreign policy advisers. Keep in mind that the team responsible for
American activity in Kosovo is roughly the same group that has been
charting the course of US Middle East strategy for quite some time. It is
the selfsame "peace" team that has been twisting Israel's arm, forcing it
to relinquish ever greater tracts of its territory to the Palestinian
terrorists, that is the brains behind the Administration's campaign in the
Balkans. This includes Sandy Berger, the President's national security
adviser and, of course, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
Consider the Wall Street Journal editorial of April 2: "It now seems clear
that the President went into this military commitment without having
thought it through and is getting himself, his troops, his nation, and the
NATO alliance into a deeper and deeper mess. It is well established by now
that bombing an adversary's army while ruling out ground troops is a recipe
for irresolution. Absent ground troops, the only option is bigger bombing,
inevitably of civilians. The lesson of war is that if you are compelled to
use force, use it overwhelmingly. This is also the responsible course. What
save lives is getting the war over quickly. There is no reason to be
surprised that the United States has arrived at this awful moment."
This editorial begets two interesting conclusions. We can see that even in
today's modern warfare, there is no substitute for territory. Yet the
Americans keep pressing Israel to relinquish its territory to our enemies.
People who are out of touch with reality - like Shimon Peres - agree with
the Americans. Nothing could be more preposterous. And regarding force,
once you decide to use it, do so overwhelmingly. If we would have followed
this prudent advice, the ten-year spree of Palestinian Arab violence (the
"intifada") would have been over within two days. But our generals, those
fellows who now are running for office here in Israel, did not understand
how to use the force available to them. As a result, we are now in the bind
that we are in.
CLINTON: WE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT
Regarding the team that advises Mr. Clinton and which is incessantly
goading Israel: Michael Kelly of the Washington Post noted that the most
revealing glimpse of the Clinton Administration's thinking about Kosovo
occurred earlier this month in a private meeting between the Italian prime
minister and the president. As reported by the Post, Massimo D'Alea asked
Clinton a simple question about the contemplated NATO bombing of Serbia:
What would the US do if Slobodan Milosevic did not back down, but rather
boosted his assault on the Kosovar Albanians? The President was stumped by
the question. He did not answer, but rather turned inquiringly to his
national security adviser, Sandy Berger. Berger hesitated, and then
replied: "We will continue the bombing."
It must have been disconcerting for the Italian leader to discover that the
chief executive of the world's sole superpower was about to launch a war
without a plan that extended beyond next Sunday's talk shows, or without a
thought to one of bombing's most likely consequences. The NATO air campaign
against Serbia began on March 24, and five days later, at least 130,000
Kosovar Albanians had been forced by the resultant Serb ground campaign to
take refuge in Albania, Montenegro, and Macedonia. Serbian troops were
continuing their systematic campaign against the ethnic Albanian
population, reportedly bombarding and torching entire villages, executing
civilian leaders, and sending women and children into exile.
It turns out that the American strategy in Kosovo, such as it is, is rooted
in a series of remarkably careless assumptions: (1) That it would be
possible to get Milosevic to agree to accept foreign troops on Serbian soil
and to place Kosovo, the historical and cultural heart of Serbia, on a path
to independence; (2) That Milosevic would swiftly back down in the face of,
or under the punishment of, bombing; (3) That, if necessary, the US could
accomplish what it did in Iraq. It would simply declare the bad guy's
military to be "degraded" and triumphantly go home; (4) That it was
realistic to promise at the outset that no American ground assault was
forthcoming, thus giving Milosevic reason to think that he could wait out
the bombing - and that he might as well take the opportunity to slip in a
bit of ethnic spring cleansing.
JUST GIVE THEM THEIR OWN STATE
The American approach to the Israeli-Arab problem is just as unwitting.
Clinton and his advisers - as well as the European Union - postulate that
there is a real estate problem between the Jews and Arabs, one that can be
solved by Israel endowing the terrorists with a few thousand square miles
which they will then use to build a peace-loving and democratic state that
will live in harmony with its neighbors. To talk about the PLO and
democracy in one breath is to reveal unfathomable depths of ignorance. One
of our problems is that not one of Israel's leaders have stated to the
Americans what the real dilemmas are. The reason that our so-called leaders
have not done so is not the subject of this article. But suffice it to say
that no one has disabused the Americans of their colossal ignorance of the
nature of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Gerald Steinberg of the Begin-Sadat Center has pointed out that the events
in the Balkans provide an important reminder of the crucial role of
military force and territory, even in the post-Cold War era. If Israel is
reduced further in size and power, as the result of overly optimistic
agreements with the Palestinians and Syria, and we are confronted again by
an Arab coalition intent on annexing "Palestine" for the Arabs, our fate
would be far worse than that of the Kosovars. In such circumstances, the
international community might very well meet in solemn assembly, and
perhaps even wag its collective diplomatic finger at the Syrians, Iraqis,
Palestinians, and others. It is even possible that the Americans would
provide weapons and assistance to Israel, as they did following the Arab
states' surprise attack against Israel on Yom Kippur, 1973.
THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH AMNESIA
No such assistance should be expected from the Europeans, who have
apparently neglected to recollect the laws of realpolitik that were
enshrined by Castlereagh, Metternich, and Bismarck - not to mention the
harsh lessons of Sarajevo, 1914. Western Europe, and Germany in particular,
is responsible for the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. The German
government launched the Balkans on the road to hell, encouraging Croatia to
become an independent state, while many other governments were attempting
to avoid war by keeping the federal Republic of Yugoslavia together.
Today, the European Union, under German leadership, finds the time to
preach to Israel, while its diplomats bumble along in Serbia. Hiding behind
simplistic slogans of "humanitarianism," the Europeans lack any realistic
vision of the future. Of course it is facile and cost-free to engage in
sweet rhetoric about Palestinian rights, support a Palestinian state, and
advocate the redivision of Jerusalem. The Europeans may press Israel for
concession after concession, but they will not be anywhere to be seen when
the consequences must be faced.
The war in Kosovo should give us all pause. The popular cliches and
politically correct views about war and peace have again been exposed as
hollow false prophecies. For Europe, these events provide a sober reminder
that in the absence of a balance of power, whether in the Balkans or the
Middle East, there is no stability. Just as Serbia attacked Kosovo (and,
under different circumstances, the Kosovars might well have joined other
forces in attacking Serbia), if given a chance, the hatred among
Palestinians and much of the Arab world would again be a direct threat to
Israel.
It is revealing that certain columnists in Israel have suggested that the
world community should know by now, in the century that produced the
Holocaust, how to deal with "criminals" like the Serb leaders. They allege
that condemnation of the Serbs, in order to be effective, should be
translated by the world community into a license to assassinate Milosevic
and the other political leaders who are responsible for the mass killing of
innocent people. This is what some of these left-wing ideologues are saying
publicly. It is not clear, however, why they consider Milosevic to be a
befitting target for assassination while Arafat, the murderer of their very
own innocent women and children, should be considered the partner in a
"peace" process. But I assume that this is another aspect of the left-wing
blindness that characterizes them.
OH NO, IT'S THE T-WORD
A friend of mine showed me an op-ed piece in the local English-language
paper. The article was written by someone not known to be a right-winger.
He said, "To our shame, as members of the human race, there are times and
situations in which two groups of peoples living in contiguity become such
deadly enemies to each other that there is no other solution to continued
mass killings but the forced separation of the populations. This is what
was done in the forced expulsion and resettlement of two million Greeks and
one million Turks in the early 1920s. Today it would be called 'ethnic
cleansing'. At the time, the Norwegian diplomat Fridtjof Nansen, who
fathered the League of Nations, sponsored forced population exchange and
was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. When one thinks of the worse
alternatives, something along that line would seem the best solution for
both Kosovo, and Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia. Population exchange, forced
or otherwise, is called Transfer. The nasty 'T-word'."
If some of our left-wing friends are starting to take note that the T-word
might be the best solution as far as the Balkans are concerned, it should
not take too long - if they are honest with themselves - to note that it
may also be a good solution for hostile populations outside of the Balkans.
Maybe Israel will receive another Nobel Peace Prize winner in this
generation when population exchange, the more acceptable name for the
T-word, is brought up seriously to solve the problem we have here with our
neighbors. You never can tell in this topsy-turvy world, where truth is
often stranger, and always more captivating, than fiction.

Subject: The Prophecy Club: Kosovo and Israel
Thank you for visiting our site. The Prophecy Club web site is an
extension of The Prophecy Club, a Christian ministry dedicated to
bringing you the best in Bible prophecy. Our mission is to warn
Christians and non-Christians of the devices of the devil and judgment
coming on America, and encourage them to get sin out of their life and
to walk closer to Jesus Christ.
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and
the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from
among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I
require at the watchman's hand. (Eze 33:6)
The Article from the 4/21 broadcast:
Neutron Fuse Dr. Bill Deagle, February 4, 1999.
I received this dream just before Ieft on the second tour for The Prophecy Club.
Several days before I left on the second winter tour for The Prophecy
Club, in the night, I received a supernatural dream and visitation
from the angel Gabriel. In the dream he took me to a new facility
within Norad located in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, CO. I
told him that I had been in the Norad facility before and wondered why
he was taking me there. He stated that many new technologies have been
installed there and he was taking me to the most classified part of
the complex that had recently been installed and was now operational.
As we stood in a control room with flashing computer screens and
control board lights, he directed my gaze to a panel in front of us.
He said, "Look and tell me what you see!"
I looked and saw only a large, plain-looking panel with some
writing above the flip panel that said "Neutron Fuse". He raised the
panel so I could see under it, and then the angel asked, "Now what do you see?"
A large white bubble-shaped button in the center was surrounded with
switches and lights indicating a dual unlocking system and activation
sequence. He asked, "What do you think will happen when this system
is activated and the President of the United States gives the order
to push the white button in the center?"
I replied, "I don't know!"
Suddenly, I was high above the earth with Gabriel and he showed me an
array of low earth orbit satellites with parabolic dishes pointed
back to specific areas of earth. He said, "When the activation
sequence is set forth, it will be just as it would be in a nuclear
war. This system is armed to destroy all communications on earth. An
electromagnetic pulse is generated by the satellites and directed to
earth. All normal microchips will instantly fail, except those that
are made of special US and allied military hardware which are
resistant to electromagnetic pulse. These chips are the ferromagnetic
ones that you have been shown which are made in Colorado Springs."
I asked, "Why would they do this terrible thing to our communications
and when will it take place?"
He replied, "When the enemy has invaded America, at the invitation of
the President to force the Mark on all US citizens; then to destroy any
opposition, this system will be used to take out communications and
all services that rely on microchips, such as power generation and
distribution.
Then the Great Falling Away will occur, [2TH 2:1] Now we
beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by
our gathering together unto him, [2] That ye be not soon shaken in
mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as
from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. [3] Let no man deceive
you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a
falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is
called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.] and the Holy People
will die too numerous to count."
I asked, "If this is to happen, what
good will it be for me to know and tell the people?"
He said, "The people of our Lord Jesus, who hear his voice personally
and in cell churches, will have fled to places of refuge. They must
know that they must shield their electronics, generators, and other
microchip equipment from EMP, (electromagnetic pulse). See, here is
what will happen on the freeways of America."
Suddenly, I stood with him on a hill looking down on the freeway of
Los Angeles, and an endless stream of automobiles lined up with near
silence except for the occasional shouts of frustrated motorists and
screams from local skirmishes. It was the start of sunset and the
eerie silence with the motionless egg-like shaped cars, lined up over
the horizon, showed me how helpless we are in large modern cities.
I asked, "What will happen?"
Gabriel said, "The foreign troops on American soil will force the
people of this nation to take the Mark in their hand or forehead, and
those who are to be removed to internment camps or executed; their
blood cries out to God for judgment, even now before it has taken
place. This is the time of the Great Harvest and the Great Martyrdom
of the Saints. Remember this dream and vision, and tell the people of
America and their allies that judgment is coming-for the sins of this
nation have risen up to heaven, and the blood of the innocents cries
out from the earth. Yet for a little season the Saints shall be
crushed, but their testimonies, prayers, and their blood shall bea
fragrant aroma to the Father. He will have mercy before he seeks
judgment. At the appointed time He will execute the sentence swiftly,
and none of the evil ones will understand or prepare for what is to
take place. Sleep now, but remember this vividly, for they must know
the truth-those who will be preserved through the fires of
tribulation-for a remnant will the Lord keep in the land."
The Future of Kosovo and Israel
Dr. Bill Deagle received the week of April 1, 1999
The second dream and vision happened just last week, only several days
after of the bombing of Yugoslavia, and was over two nights on the
same theme.On the first night, I was shaken in the dream with a loud
roar of incoming mortar and a huge explosion. It felt real and I could
smell the stench of destruction. As I looked, the angel Gabriel was
with me and told me, "Look, see these men of Islam, they are from many
lands. They stand here and shout Jihad, Jihad, Jihad!!!"
As I looked, a man in a turban stood on a hilltop with his machine
gun raised over his head, shaking it up and down with the cadence of
his droning shouts calling for a holy war. Down the hill, stood US
C.I.A. men in army fatigues, with electroniccommand and control field
gear, watching and monitoring the display of Islamic fervor. I was
horrified. I asked, "Why are these men from Iran, Pakistan, and many
Islamic countries here in Kosovo?"
He said, "America has promised them the lands of Kosovo and will
enforce the partitioning of the lands of Yugoslavia. This is what
will soon happen to Israel, for America and its allies have promised
the PLO and the International Islamic leaders a sovereign state of
Islam, within the current boundaries of Israel."
He said , "Watch and weep for what the C.I.A. have done in this place."
I looked and saw the same men chanting on the hilltop, just days
before shelling and destroying a Serbian village in Kosovo. No mercy
was shown to even the youngest ones!! Just bloodthirsty brutality!!
I asked Gabriel, " Why has this event happened?"
He said, "The devil has awakened their ancient hatreds for this time,
and America's C.I.A. has seized upon this situation to establish a
New World Order, and justify an occupation force following the
bombing to take Kosovo. It is a test for Russia, to stay the course
and not attack, for their military is very strong, but their economy
is a 'sick old man'.
Then they will say to the leader of Israel, "Give the land demanded
by Oslo and the Wye agreement! Do you not see the fate of Yugoslavia?
We will have peace, and there will be stability in the Mideast, and
we will not be held ransom for a cup of oil by Islam!!"
I said, "Now I see the evil manipulations of America, Britain, and
the NATO allies. They care nothing for the people of Yugoslavia, nor
the Albanians, Croatians, or Serbs, especially not the Serbs. They
must set an example of these Russian brothers so that in standing far
away, America and NATO will fill their chest with pride and fix their
eyes further East on Israel, a true prize for the New Millennium.
Jerusalem, an international city, will be shared with Catholics, Jews
and Islam. Blue hats everywhere will be seen!"
Such is the evil of the New World Disorder. I awoke and
was greatly distressed in my sleep. I prayed for Yugoslavia and I
prayed for the Peace of Israel and the Holy City, Jerusalem. The time
of Jacob's trouble is near. Lord, warn your people and have them come
near to You!!! Amen!!
