And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty (Revelation 16:12-14).

"Nuclear Confrontation In Korea May, Towards The End Of The Period, Threaten Man's Very Survival." The Armageddon Script

North Korea expels inspectors

NEWS BRIEF: "IAEA: North Korea expels inspectors," The Jerusalem Post, April 13, 2009, "The International Atomic Energy Agency says North Korea is expelling its inspectors. The North has also told the UN nuclear watchdog that it is reactivating all of its nuclear facilities. An IAEA statement Tuesday said North Korea has told inspectors to remove seals and cameras from the Yongbyon nuclear site and leave the country as quickly as possible." President Bush accelerated his threats to invade Iraq when Saddam expelled IAEA nuclear inspectors, so this action can carry serious consequences. President Obama did not take long to respond. "The Obama White House meanwhile called on the reclusive communist nation Tuesday to 'cease its provocative threats' and respect the international community's will."

As always, these types of crises are used to build up the "International Community" in the eyes of citizens around the world, conditioning them to believe that the best force with which to handle any "rogue state" is the international community, i.e., the United Nations. "Presidential press secretary Robert Gibbs said Pyongyang's vow to restart its nuclear reactor and boycott international disarmament talks is 'a serious step in the wrong direction.' " This crisis seems to be building tension, much as a volcano would build tension prior to a major blow. Remember, the Illuminati plans that a major nuclear crisis will erupt out of the Korean Peninsula. Let us examine once again the wording of this part of the Plan.

"But then war will seldom be absent from the world-scene during the last twenty years of the century. There will be numerous local conflicts in the Far East, the Middle East, and Africa. A hair-raising nuclear confrontation in Korea may, towards the end of the period, threaten man's very survival" (Peter Lemesurier, "The Armageddon Script: Prophecy In Action," pp. 222-3).

Might President Obama use this North Korean nuclear crisis -- once it has passed -- as the prime example of how important it is for all nations of the world to scrap their nuclear weapons? Obama has recently proposed just such an elimination of nuclear weaponry. Should that ever happen, the coming global dictatorship will have just disarmed all the nations! Might we see a global "gun control" effort similar to the one planned for America?

US Nuclear Experts Leave North Korea

April 17, 2009

Four U.S. nuclear experts left North Korea Friday, after Pyongyang ordered the expulsion of inspectors monitoring nuclear disarmament measures. United Nations inspectors departed the country Thursday after removing seals and disabling surveillance cameras at the Yongbyon atomic facility. The North Korean government expelled the inspectors after the United Nations adopted a statement condemning Pyongyang for its April 5 rocket launch. North Korea also withdrew from six-nation disarmament talks, and vowed to restart production of its weapons-grade plutonium.

The United States has warned that North Korea will face consequences for expelling the inspectors. Washington proposed additions to a U.N. sanctions list Wednesday. The U.N. Security Council sanctions committee is to report by April 24 on North Korean companies or technology that should be added to the current list. Countries involved in the denuclearization talks have called on Pyongyang to return to the negotiating table.

Meanwhile, South Korea is preparing to announce plans to fully join the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI). The U.S.-led initiative is aimed at preventing the global trafficking of weapons of mass destruction. More than 90 member countries track and stop vessels suspected of carrying such weapons. North Korea has warned it would interpret Seoul's decision to join the PSI as a declaration of war. But a spokesman for South Korea's Foreign Ministry said it will be impossible to stop North Korean ships in international waters because the North is not part of the initiative.

China Plays Guarded Hand Against North Korea Threats

China plays guarded hand against North Korea threats

By Chris Buckley

BEIJING, April 15 (Reuters) - China's muted response to North Korea's nuclear brinkmanship reflects the dilemmas dogging Beijing as it seeks to coax Pyongyang back to disarmament talks while fearing for the health of Kim Jong-il and his regime. Even for typically tight-lipped China, its reaction to the latest confrontation over its neighbour's nuclear ambitions has been guarded, and analysts say it is likely to remain reserved unless Pyongyang threatens a second atomic test. After North Korea said on Tuesday it would not return to the six-party disarmament talks hosted by Beijing and would step up its nuclear activities, China's Foreign Ministry avoided any word of criticism, instead urging all sides to show restraint. The People's Daily, an official paper of the ruling Communist Party, on Wednesday carried a brief report on Pyongyang's nuclear announcement, and a long one lauding North Korea's "high tide" of coal production. China's long-standing fear of riling North Korea has been intensified by worry about its leader, Kim Jong-il, who has looked haggard in recent public appearances, and what could follow his demise, said Cai Jian, an expert on Korea at Fudan University in Shanghai.

"China is in a quandary in dealing with North Korea and it's become deeper," said Cai. "Strong action against North Korea could have the result opposite from intended and produce worse conflict, even chaos... But if we give too much support to North Korea, we face criticism and pressure on us. North Korea knows it can exploit this dilemma and that makes things worse for us." Washington, Tokyo and other regional capitals are likely to urge Beijing to pressure North Korea to reverse its threats. China exports vital energy and food supplies to the impoverished North that could be used for pressure. "The bottom line is that this comes down to China as the key. They have the most influence over North Korea," said Peter Beck, an expert on the North at American University in Washington. Beck cited views in Washington "that if we take a hands-off approach, China will have to get more hands on."

RISK OF INSTABILITY: But such arguments are unlikely to persuade Beijing. China opposed a proposed U.N. Security Council resolution censuring North Korea for its April 5 launch of a rocket, which other nations called a missile test. But on Monday, it compromised, supporting a Council statement condemning the secretive state's launch. Now, in the light of North Korea's angry response to that statement, China is likely to feel its initial caution was vindicated and will be reluctant to apply heavy pressure. "China is very concerned about North Korean political stability," said Cai, the Shanghai-based expert. "External pressure could threaten that stability, and there's the risk of factional struggle in a succession process leading to chaos."

The demise of Kim, 67, could could unleash strife over control of the secretive one-party state, with the potential for dangerous conflict among party and military groupings over command of the country's small nuclear arsenal. China's 1,420-km (880-mile) border with the North is also a brittle barrier against millions of potential refugees who could surge across if the North slides into turmoil. Beijing's stake in stability and a modicum of influence in the North will deter the government from choking off food or energy flows to its needy neighbour, said Zhu Feng, a regional security expert at Peking University. "The situation (in North Korea) is looking very uncertain and I don't think it would be wise to cut off provisions," said Zhu. "China is also unclear about what forces will drive North Korean behaviour when Kim Jong-il is ill. Rash actions could backfire."

Instead, Zhu said, Chinese officials hope for a conciliatory proposal from the Obama administration that could draw Pyongyang back to talks, and they are also exploring fresh formats for negotiations outside the six-party talks Beijing has hosted since 2003 -- a trophy of growing Chinese diplomatic stature. Those on-again, off-again talks brought together North and South Korea, host China, the United States, Japan and Russia. If Pyongyang threatens another nuclear test, Beijing will probably reach for the harsher language and pressure it applied in 2006, Cai said. But for now China will wait and see if Washington will offer something new to Pyongyang. "They know that at some point, Washington will have to reach out to North Korea," said Beck.

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them (Revelation 9:13-21).

The Ad Aoc SF "Horse Cavalry" In Afghanistan From Unconventional Logistics

AUSA's Army magazine:
http://www.itar-tass.com/eng/level2.html?NewsID=13682035&PageNum=0

During the first few months of the Afghanistan campaign -- as U.S. Army Special Forces Soldiers thundered across the plains on horseback and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operators stepped from the shadows -- the American ground war was supplied by a dozen soldiers and Army civilian employees of the 200th Material Management Center (MMC), 21st Theater Support Command (TSC). From a vault in the basement of their headquarters near Kaiserslautern, Germany, they choreographed a corner-cutting, on-the-fly, I-want-it-now logistics operation that was as unconventional as the war being fought.

During the first part of the Afghanistan campaign, the Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) cell was the sole supplier for U.S. military special operations teams and CIA special operating groups in Afghanistan, catering to every need and want made by military special operators or CIA agents in the field. They located and bought, for example, specialized batteries, nonmilitary tactical gear, civilian camping gear, mountaineering clothing and special food. Not only did most of the things requested not have a military nomenclature, much of the time nobody knew exactly what an item was until they started tracking it down. Somebody always had a vague idea about what they wanted and where to get it. We always had a starting point," Maj. Jensen said.

By the time the conventional supply system took over, the OEF cell had bought and shipped nearly 2 million pounds of wheat and 93,000 blankets for humanitarian relief, along with the tons of equipment and supplies to keep the military operation going. According to officials, the 21st TSC had been tasked by U.S. Central Command and U.S. European Command to support Operation Enduring Freedom operations in Afghanistan because of its extensive capabilities and because it was the only forward-deployed logistics command that could support both of those unified commands. The 21st TSC's first mission started on October 1, 2001, and its subcommands operated continuously, 24 hours a day, through February 1, 2002, to support initial combat operations in Afghanistan.

To deliver the supplies to Afghanistan, the OEF cell also had to round up cargo parachutes because everything had to be air dropped, originating from bases in Germany. When the campaign began, there were only 200 cargo parachutes on hand in Germany. Within the first two weeks, it was estimated the supply operation would require 600 to 800 parachutes and need hundreds more to keep the operation going. "The initial problem was that by the time the parachutes started shipping, Dover Air Force Base (the outgoing U.S. military air hub) was pretty much saturated," Maj. Jensen explained. "And we needed them fast." The solution: the OEF cell had the parachutes delivered by FedEx to Germany. Much was bought on the German economy or through the military commissary, using government credit cards. At one point, two of the OEF cell's purchasers each had nearly a $1 million balance on their cards and two others were carrying $500,000 balances. The system was Internet-based. Requests and discussions were carried out through e-mail with requesters using satellite phones.

"We had to do things that had never been done before. We couldn't follow standard doctrine. We had to be imaginative. We had to be flexible," Maj. Jensen said. "And it was totally a customer-driven focus. We knew the customers needed the stuff because we were in direct contact with the guys on the ground every day." "In a lot of cases, it became, literally, a factory-to-foxhole operation," said Ellen Badstibner, a Department of the Army civilian logistics manager serving with the OEF cell. "It was the whole logistics system in microcosm." It wasn't easy," she added, "but at the end of the day every one of us could go home and really say I did something for Soldiers today. It was rewarding -- and inspiring -- because we could see the tangible results of what we were doing here." "The news and the pictures made the war personal for us," Maj. Jensen added.

"Nobody here wanted to be the reason any mission failed." As the conventional logistics system began to take over, the 200th MMC's OEF cell received a commendation from the CIA for its support. (The CIA gave permission to report the OEF cell's role in supporting its operations for this story, according to 21st TSC officials). The biggest accolade, however, probably came from a high-ranking CIA officer who visited Afghanistan. As it was relayed to the OEF cell, the story goes that the officer arrived in the middle of nowhere, looked around and asked his agents, "How the heck did you get all this stuff?"

When Special Forces (SF) Soldiers called for western-style saddles, for example, they got them because somebody in the 200th MMC's Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) cell happened to know the place in Germany to get them. When SF also requested an immediate shipment of 2,000 pounds of horse feed to accompany the saddles, they got it because somebody in the OEF cell happened to once own horses and contacted his old supplier. (Ultimately, 12,000 pounds of fodder was parachuted into Afghanistan to get the American teams through the winter). "Of course, we didn't know at the time why they needed western saddles or horse feed. Our job was just to get it," explained Maj. Ray Jensen, who headed the OEF cell. "Later, when we saw photographs of U.S. Soldiers making a charge on horseback, we said 'Oh, that's why.'"

China’s Bloodstock Imports: Horses in China
Posted by Mark

Plenty of Europe's most respected stud farms want to sell or train horses in China. The target is obviously the wave of new riding clubs, polo clubs and breeding farms which have sprung up in the country's wealthier cities. Horses, like Mercedes cars, have become a status symbol of local businessmen. From Germany, Ismer Stud is searching for partners in China because it sees “huge potential” in the country as a future market, says the stud's director, Dr. Nils Ismer. There's potential “in any kind of horse industry" here he says.

He sees Chinese interest in the Arabian horses, a specialty of the Strohen-based Ismer stud. On a 2007 trip to China, Ismer representatives "recognized that there may be a big potential for the future," says Ismer. They came back this year for Equestrian China expo in Beijing, looking for contacts to establish some partnerships or cooperation. “We see our position as a partner to follow up any development or business with any kind of support like advise concerning food, vet and blacksmith matters, registration work and for sure training of horses and people.

Says Ismer: “The big potential I see, because there is not a lot of horses there yet and China is a country where the interest in horses and in riding is growing enormously. In 2007 we made already good contacts which gave us the feeling that there will be a future market.” The German horseman travelled to Beijing and Shanghai, says he believes “in every bigger city in China will be people or companies who can afford horses or build a business on horses.” Ismer, he says, is in cooperation talks with different Chinese partners “which I can not specify yet.”

China to Return More Endangered Wild Horses to the Wild

China to Return More Endangered Wild Horses to the Wild

Rarer than giant panda: Xinjiang was the original habitat of the Xinjiang wild horse. The wild horse is even rarer than the giant panda, as there are fewer than 1,000 in the world. Most live in zoos in Germany, Britain, the United States, the Netherlands and China. There are 200 wild horses in China at the most. The wild horse disappeared from its original habitat in the early 20th century as a result of relentless poaching by overseas explorers. The wild horses in zoos and private hands around the world are descendants of the wild horses caught by Russian explorer Nikolay Mikhaylovich Przhevalsky in Xinjiang and shipped to Europe in 1876.

With the assistance of the International Rare Animal Protection Association, China imported 18 wild horses from the United States and Europe in 1986 and set up a wild horse reproduction center in Xinjiang the same year. The center has developed into the largest of its kind in Asia and has 117 horses. The survival rate of the wild horses has risen from 25 to 89 percent.

Adapt to the nature under human help: To help the wild horses adapt to their natural environment more easily, Zhu the director said, the 18 wild horses to be released this year will be separated into two small groups so that the lead horses can take care of all its group members in the wild. The horses will be set free by degrees. First from a small enclosure to a larger enclosure, and eventually will be left to be completely wild, the director added. China has more than 500 species of animals on the verge of extinction. To provide an ideal environment for these rare creatures, it has built 1,276 nature reserves covering a total area of 123 million hectares and set up 14 wildlife reproduction centers.

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts (Revelation 9:17-21).

Are you saved? Are you ready for the tribulation to come? Are you headed to hell without hope and God?
