Video originally done by EFESIOSSEISDIEZ Please visit http://www.amightywind.com and http://www.almightywind.com YAHUSHUA (עשוהי), a Hebrew Name, is the original Name of JESUS. We are still saved in the Name JESUS but the antichrist will use the name Jesus Christ for himself IN THE TRIBULATION, so learn YAHUSHUA's NAME for then. THE FALSE 'BLUE BEAM' RAPTURE February 21, 2008 Translated into Spanish EL FALSO RAPTO HAZ DE LUZ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwGQQuFIyGc These are the Words of YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA and the RUACH ha KODESH. These Words are what they have said regarding the False Blue Beam Rapture. These Prophetic Words have been compiled from the Prophecies spoken and written through Apostle Elisabeth Elijah Nikomia. Please click on the Prophecy number and title to read Prophecy in its entirety. We pray you hear the voice of YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA and the RUACH ha KODESH and you will not be a victim of the False Blue Beam Rapture.. Now I give a new warning to you. For those that believe in the coming of YAHUSHUA again, you use the word rapture, the catching away of MY faithful Women and Men and Children. I warn you now, BEWARE MY CHILDREN of a COUNTERFEIT RAPTURE devised by those you trust. When they say, "Jesus is here," when they say, "Jesus is there, come and meet us there." (Matt 24:23-24) Beware MY Children of the HOLOGRAM in the sky, that will be satan coming in disguise. For new weapons shall mow you down. For those who do not listen, for those who do not know, they will be evaporated, they will be nothing more than smoke. For you need not go anywhere for YAHUSHUA to come, MY Son will come where you are. Beware MY Children of the BLUE BEAM RAPTURE, which is no rapture, for it is evil being caught away, when they thought they were coming to behold the face of Jesus. I allowed them to be deceived, for if you were truly hearing from ME you would know your word, you would know even the very elect would be deceived. This is the plan, this is the plot of the enemy, just to show you what evil is. Not all who gather will be evil, some just haven't heard the warnings, some don't know how to hear MY voice, so I tell you to warn them. For MY Son doth come but the devil tries to go before, so warn them. Test the Spirit that speaks. Yes, it is true that the dead in the MESSIAH shall arise, and you which remain will be caught up in the air to meet MY Son but the devil goes before. Be warned those with ears, listen, those with spiritual eyes, see, so you will not be fooled when this counterfeit tries to appear before thee. When your own politicians around the world look up to the sky and say, "There is a greater GOD coming than I," they will see apparitions; yes they will say they see space ships. It will make your news. An alien will even be interviewed. Remember MY Children whence this comes, satan goes before MY Son. Satan mocks me in all ways, the greatest mockery is trying to steal MY true Babies, Bride, Chosen ones and Elect away. Science

The Dalit Massacre of Paramakudi
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 11:57:20 01/30/12
Tamil Nadu Police uses teargas, lathi and guns on unarmed dalit protesters. 11th September, 2011 was the day Paramakudi resident Valiswamy’s wife Gayatri gave birth to their first child. He was a dalit while she was from an upper caste family. In a caste sensitive area like Paramakuddi, inter-caste marriages are rare and they have to survive immense social pressure to come together. Valiswamy and Gayatri had fought hard and negotiated a truce with these forces. He was on his way to the hospital when he was caught in the Paramakudi firings, a widely reported incident in which the Tamil Nadu police opened fire on a group of unarmed dalits who were staging a peaceful protest. Valiswamy would not survive to see his newborn. “The families of the bereaved have received their compensations from the government but other than that, nothing has happened. The perpetrators are scot free. In fact, the chief minister has since been effusive in her praise for the state police. And the dalits are continuing to live in a stifling atmosphere of violence and fear. The incident has been a backlash to dalit morale in Tamil Nadu.” Dalit activist and IndiaUnheard Community Correspondent Mani M. aka Makkal Sevakan sounds angry and weary as he describes the situation in Paramakudi 5 months after the police’s attempts to disband a peaceful protest against the incarceration of popular dalit leader John Pandian resulted in the murder of 6 dalits and injuring many others. The incident caused uproar in the country. Dalit and Human Rights Organizations from across the nation condemned the attack and called for investigation. The media covered the incident extensively. The fact finding team set up to probe the incident made a strong case against the actions of the police but still as Mani puts it ‘nothing has happened.’ 54 years ago, Paramakudi was witness to one of the biggest caste riots in the country, a skirmish that cost the life of dalit iconoclast and leader, Immanuel Sekaran who was amongst the first Tamil Nadu dalits to advocate for dalit empowerment and rights against 3000 years of upper caste oppression. On 11th September, John Pandian was scheduled to arrive to pay his respects at Sekaran’s memorial. But using the sensitive atmosphere caused by recent murder of a dalit high school boy for allegedly writing offensive graffiti against the upper castes as a pretext, the police pre-emptively arrested him. When the crowd gathered to receive Pandian heard news of the arrest, they protested by peacefully occupying the road. The police’s diplomatic response was teargas and a lathi charge. The mood soured and the crowd turned unruly. A few protestors began pelting stones against the police. The police responded with gunfire. “It is not like the police could not handle the situation. There is an upper caste festival in Paramakudi each year that goes smoothly without the need to resort to pre-emptive arrests and lathi and gunfire. But the first time the dalits try to get together and organize a festival, it ends in tragedy,” says Mani. Mani was in Chennai on the fateful day when he heard of the Paramakudi firings. He immediately got on the first train. When he arrived, he saw a wasteland of police barricades, empty streets and burning vehicles. Some of Mani’s friends who had been part of the protest had managed to record footage of the police bashing in the heads of the people and shooting at unarmed civilians. The footage, which offers a birds eye view of the incident, justifies the statements of the fact finding group but there has been similar footage before and witness accounts and reports and photographs and yet, ‘nothing has happened.’ Of all the cases filed in the Tamil Nadu Courts under the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes Protection Act, 95% are acquitted. It is a disturbing figure that makes the atrocities seem insignificant or routine. In the 1969 Kilvenmani massacre, 44 landless dalit labourers were burnt alive for demanding better wages. In 1997, the dalit panchayat president and others were murdered in Melavalau. In September 2002, at Kaundampatti in Dindigul district, a dalit worker was forced to drink urine for having lodged a complaint of trespass with the police. In May 2002, two dalits were forced to eat human excreta in Thinniyam village in Tiruchi district. In 2011, on the 54th anniversary of a dalit massacre and the subsequent murder of Immanuel Sekaran, 6 dalits are killed in broad daylight by the state police. And not a single perpetrator has been brought to justice. Almost as if nothing had happened. ——————————————- For a brief account of the dalit struggle in Tamil Nadu, read http://www.pragoti.in/node/3947

2012 Infiniti EX35 Around View video camera Technology Challenge (part 2)
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 21:10:21 01/19/12
The 2012 Infiniti EX35 AWD has no fewer than four video cameras mounted all around the car. Together these four cameras provide a 360 degree bird's eye view around the entire car. Infiniti calls this system Around View. And the company was one of the first in the auto business to introduce this technology to the consumer. So just how well does this work in everyday use like parallel parking a car? We thought we'd find out with a simple test. We put Infiniti's Around View to the test in this first part of the TFLcar technology demo Challenge. The plan was simple one. We wanted to see if we could park the Infiniti using only the Around View Cameras so we completely wrapped the car in dark paper turning it into a temporary submarine....at least from a outward visibility perceptive.

Unworthiness & Worthlessness - Hiding in the Folds of the Garment
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 20:31:14 01/08/12
2012-01-07 1st, Mayan day 6 Chuen/Monkey This Video (uploading) Transcript Intro: I will share my latest growth initiations with you – my latest challenges, they could be called – but they're not that. Remember, dear friends, all is the embrace of the divine – only that. Nothing that happens to me, you, or anyone else is anything but that. Only eyes of heart can see this, as far as I know – so go within. With over 1,000 journals online, so far, my recent path is available to share. Though it's quite strange, still, to me, I live both the life of the hermit and yet also the life lived in public – passing strange. Still, no matter, for one's heart always knows best. Following that is the shortest, quickest route to Source that I know of. If you find one better, do let me know. No, never mind. I'm not into short-cuts. They're just not enticing. Every one that I've so far seen has been laced with impurity – of the soul, unwilling to just deal with that which is. Wishing to somehow skip over the now, as if it were unimportant and held no value – this is, to me, some sort of blasphemy. It is in the now and here – the now-here – the nowhere – where divinity abides, ever patient, awaiting our presence, our abidance in That. Now, as usual, I am still in the midst of what I am sharing, here, so I have no great, final conclusions to offer – just my understanding, so far. What I've been shown about self lately has been shocking to me. How things can hide, as it were, in the folds of our garments and go unnoticed for so many years – lifetimes, even – I find this amazing. I draw some comfort from my awareness of the 7% conscious mind. With 93% of our very own mind largely inaccessible, it's little wonder that there would be much about self we're not aware of. I've got to say, though, that doesn't make the experience of it any less amazing...

2012-01-05 2nd journal, Mayan day 4 Water or Offering Dimitri Halley – How You Attract Your Shadow 14:56 Complementary Text http://www.scribd.com/doc/77425923 Intro: Are you tired of life or down on life in any way? Any way at all? If so, I can guarantee you're not in heart. You're stuck in the mind's way of viewing things. Come on – admit it. If life has gone stale or become just too hard for you, do consider what's being said, here – and find your way into your heart, or into the heart of the now moment – same thing. Each and every one of us – minus the robots and clones, of course – is a cell in the body of the divine – of Source or God. We ARE That. Just as Christ said, “I Am the vine, and ye are the branches.” What part of the branch can't be said to be the vine? Are they not one and the same? Can we not see this? Surely, we can. It's just our programming that got in the way. Well, there's real beauty in that, even. How so? Because it is so amazingly easy to get out of that. There's no need to study the enemy, to out-wit him or gain strength and work out strategy for the battle. No need at all. Why not? It's so beautifully simple, I could practically shout it – there's no need to fight! All we need do is walk away. Literally, just turn your back on mind and walk out, and you win. It's your mind, after all – right? Well, take command of it. YOU tell it when to enter, what challenge to tackle, what to do. Don't put up with being bossed around by that tyrant that the mind has been programmed to become. Admit it- for all of us, the mind is a terrible task master. Many minds are also abusive, continually hamster-wheeling around through all of your faults and short-comings, just so you'll know, singing the litany of that. Yikes! No wonder we get depressed and want out...

In this edition of Drive It! We look at the souped-up John Cooper Works Coupe of the Mini; a battle of efficiency between electric and diesel Smarts; and the new Mercedes B-Class tries to combine the stylish with the solid.present it! The Mini CoupeThe Mini family welcomes a rather flash new addition: the John Cooper Works Coupé. The design is extravagant, featuring a low and sporty profile and a chunky rear.The two-seater also boasts an active rear spoiler that automatically rises at speeds in excess of 80 km/h in order to increase the pressure on the rear axle. There are four engines available for selection. We treated ourselves to the most dynamic one, delivering 155 kilowatts of power. compare it! Electric Smart vs. Diesel SmartWith the electric Smart due to go into mass production in 2012, we decided to put one through its paces to check its practical credentials.This involved a face-off against stiff competition from a close relative - the diesel-powered Smart cdi. In visual terms the two Smarts are difficult to tell apart. But our car expert Alexandra Feders certainly discovered a few differences. test it! The Mercedes B ClassThe coffee house is a big Vienna tradition with an appeal to the young and old alike. Appealing to all generations is what big-on-tradition Mercedes wants to do with the B-Class. Until now the car has had a reputation for catering more to seniors than the style-conscious.The aim was now to discard that image - but without scaring off its older clientele. The Daimler designers first tried to give the new model a zippier look and feel by lowering its stance and introducing some pretty wild contours. drive it! checked to see whether the carmaker has managed to bridge the generation gap. examine it! Warning lights - what do they mean?Modern dashboards feature clusters of warning lights. Most of the time they remain idle - but what do we do when they light up red or start flashing? Take the light for ABS, for example. ABS prevents the wheels from locking when you brake. When the warning light goes on, however, it’s telling us there’s a problem.The wheels might now lock when you brake, meaning that you can’t steer and will carry on sliding straight ahead. But flashing lights don’t necessarily require a visit to the repair shop. drive it! provides some tips on how to correctly interpret the lamps and resolve the problem. vintage!

Gingrich Just the Latest Republican to Threaten Judges
[LESS INFO] 6 VIEWS | ADDED 17:00:55 12/21/11
"Judicial activism" is in the eye of the beholder. Threatening judges is not. That explains why even Michael Mukasey and Alberto Gonzales , former Bush Attorneys General and ardent defenders of detainee torture and illicit domestic surveillance, denounced Newt Gingrich's assault on the federal bench as "dangerous, ridiculous, totally irresponsible, outrageous, off-the-wall and would reduce the entire judicial system to a spectacle." Sadly, Gingrich has plenty of company among conservatives threatening judges. As the dangerous rhetoric of John Cornyn, Tom Delay and a host of other Republican officeholders and propagandists shows, judicial intimidation is now standard fare for many of the leading lights of the GOP.
On Face the Nation Sunday, Gingrich the fading frontrunner told CBS News host Bob Schieffer he wouldn't hesitate to send the Capitol police or U.S. marshals to round up judges with whom he disagreed and force them to respond to subpoenas. As McClatchy reported Saturday: >
In order to restore balance between Congress, the White House, and the courts, Gingrich recommended ignoring rulings, impeaching judges, subpoenaing justices to have them explain their rulings and, as a last resort, abolishing the courts altogether... >
"I was frankly just fed up with elitist judges imposing secularism on the country and fundamentally changing the American Constitution," Gingrich told reporters, adding that "it was clear to me that you have a judicial psychology run amok, and there has to be some method of bringing balance back to the three branches."
During the height of the Terri Schiavo controversy in 2005, some Republican leaders darkly suggested what one of those methods might be.
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), himself a former Texas Supreme Court Justice, has been at the forefront of GOP advocacy of violence towards members of the bench whose rulings part ways with conservative orthodoxy. Back in 2005, Cornyn was one of the GOP standard bearers in the conservative fight against so-called "judicial activism" in the wake of the Republicans' disastrous intervention in the Terri Schiavo affair . On April 4th, Cornyn took to the Senate floor to issue a not-too-thinly veiled threat to judges opposing his reactionary agenda. Just days after the murders of judge in Atlanta and another's family members in Chicago, Cornyn offered his endorsement of judicial intimidation: >
"I don't know if there is a cause-and-effect connection, but we have seen some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country...And I wonder whether there may be some connection between the perception in some quarters, on some occasions, where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up and builds up to the point where some people engage in, engage in violence."
Facing criticism for his remarks seemingly endorsing right-wing retribution against judges, Cornyn held his ground . "I didn't make the link," he said on Fox News Sunday, adding with a note of sarcasm: >
"It was taken out of context. I regret it was taken out of context and misinterpreted."
As it turns out, Cornyn was merely echoing the words of the soon-to-be indicted House Majority Leader Tom Delay. On March 31st, Delay issued a statement regarding the consistent rulings in favor of Michael Schiavo by all federal and state court judges involved: >
"The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today."
The impact of tacit conservative endorsement of violence against judges cannot be dismissed. After all, it extends to members of the Supreme Court of the United States. In March 2006, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg revealed that she and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor were the targets of death threats . On February 28th, 2005, the marshal of the Court informed O'Connor and Ginsburg of an Internet posting citing their references to international law in Court decisions (a frequent whipping boy of the right) as requiring their assassination: >
"This is a huge threat to our Republic and Constitutional freedom...If you are what you say you are, and NOT armchair patriots, then those two justices will not live another week."
Neither O'Connor nor Ginsburg are shy about making the connection between Republican rhetoric of judicial intimidation and the upswing in threats and actual violence against judges. Ginsburg noted that they "fuel the irrational fringe" O'Connor blamed Cornyn and his fellow travelers for "creating a culture" in which violence towards judges is merely another political tactic: >
"It gets worse. It doesn't help when a high-profile senator suggests a 'cause-and-effect connection' [between controversial rulings and subsequent acts of violence.]"
When anthrax spores were mailed to the Supreme Court in 2001, Americans could be forgiven for speculating on the ideological persuasion of the culprit. Aided by best-selling conservative author and media personality Ann Coulter , who joked in January 2006, "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," the right-wing endorsement of retribution against judges increasingly permeates the culture.
Just ask Judge Reggie Walton. A federal judge on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Walton was picked by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to serve on the FISA court which must approve government requests for domestic electronic surveillance. But when Dick Cheney's chief-of-staff Scooter Libby was convicted in his court in 2007, Judge Walton received death threats : >
"I received a number of angry, harassing mean-spirited phone calls and letters. Some of those were wishing bad things on me and my family."
One of those seemingly wishing bad things on judges is Montana Republican Congressman Denny Rehberg . Just weeks after the Tucson slaughter that claimed the life of circuit judge John Roll , Rehberg responded to a recent ruling by declaring he wanted to " put some of these judicial activists on the Endangered Species list ": >
"Environmental obstructionists found a federal judge in Missoula that was willing to ignore the scientific evidence as well as the expert opinions of on-the-ground wildlife managers here in Montana. And he ruled last August that the grey wolf had to remain on the Endangered Species List.! >
When I first heard his decision, like many of you I wanted to take action immediately. I asked: how can we put some of these judicial activists on the Endangered Species List? I am still working on that!"
As are, in myriad other ways, many of his GOP allies. By proposing to abolish the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals , Newt Gingrich was hardly the first Republican to call for simply ending jurisdiction for the federal courts across a broad swath of issues. Even after the calamitous intervention in the Schiavo imbroglio, conservative stalwarts continued to turn to "court-stripping" as a favorite tactic. As the Eagle Forum's Phyllis Schlafly put it in 2006, "The American people are waiting for this year's Congress to pass legislation defining the jurisdiction of the federal courts so that supremacist judges will not be able to ban the Pledge of Allegiance, the Ten Commandments, the Boy Scouts, or the traditional definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman." On terror detainees, the EPA's regulation of greenhouse gases and so much more, Republicans want eliminate the prospect of future rulings with which they might disagree.
In 2008, former Supreme Court Justice and Reagan appointee Sandra Day O'Connor wrote, "What worries me is the manner in which politically motivated interest groups are attempting to interfere with justice." As O'Connor explained the next year to Jon Stewart of The Daily Show , that threat prompted her to launch a new online civics education project: >
"Well, what I became aware of increasingly in those last years was all the criticism of judges across America. We heard a lot in Congress and in state legislature. We heard a lot about "activist judges," didn't we? "Secular, godless humanists trying to tell us all what to do." I mean, that was what we were hearing. And I just didn't see it that way, and I thought perhaps a lot of Americans had stopped understanding about the three branches of government."
Americans, that is, like Newt Gingrich and many of his friends in the Republican Party.
