2012, Revelations and Prophecy - Part I

Lately, the most frequent question I get asked (other than, "so how's school going?") is, "so what do you think is going to happen in 2012.  I get asked this, I suppose, because I make no bones about initiating conversations with people about various topics of a conspiratory nature.  It would make sense that someone would jump from a topic like what really happened on 9/11 to whether the world will end on Dec 21, 2012, right?  Well, of course that's a huge leap isn't it? Yet, this happens more often than not, and especially with people, who are not completely familiar with my ecclectic book collection or who is not my FB friend.  So how do we make that connection, time and time again?  My answer is that subliminally we know that "times, they are a changin'", but most of us haven't put the pieces together to find out why.

The other day, a woman I work with asked me if I believed we were in the "end times".  Why, yes (for about 85 billion years), I replied, and asked her what else she might want to know about what I know.  She asked me about what I thought was going on in the middle east and of course I couldn't go into that much detail in 20 minutes as I would have liked, but I gave her some perspectives she could consider.

Prophetically speaking there is a lot more available to us to help us analyze the times than there was in my parents generation.  Simply go to any bookstore (online or otherwise) and type in prophesy and you will have more choice than you can shake a stick at.  Recently, I've started to examine what ancient cultures had to say on the subject and have found that they too felt they were in the "end times" as well.

In the Holy Bible, John received divine messages about the end of the world, and was told to shut them up until mankind could understand them.  It is supposed by bible prophesy experts that it is only in this time of vast knowledge and the internet that we are able to properly interpret the signs. Let's consider Revelations 13.  Here, this chapter tells of the lawlessness of the earthly kingdoms the rise of the Antichrist and his deception over man:
3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 
4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power to the beast and they worshipped the beast saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

For some, the events described in the above verses are a checklist, for others, a vague guideline as to what the world will be like in the "End Times"
I can truly say we are in the strangest times our world has ever seen, a time when we are relying on technology to provide the answers to our questions and a time when we are relying on the stories and archaeological evidence of our past to tell us more about our uncertain future.

Would you like cheese with your Bilderberger?

In case you missed it, Bilderberg 2001 came and went in St. Moritz Switzerland.  Bilderberg? (you scoff) Big Deal? (eyes rolling).  Who Cares? (hockey is on dude!)  Truth is (for whatever that is worth these days) the worlds most un-secret/secret meeting of dignitaries, CEO's and royalty meets every year to "unofficially" discuss world affairs.  Again, who cares?  Well, in 2006, the CBC seemed to care very much.  In fact on June 13th, CBC News Indepth, wrote a very revealing expose on the workings of the Bilderberg group.  In the article, they give a little background information:

"The group decided that it would invite 100 of the most powerful people in Europe and North America every year to meet behind closed doors at a different five-star resort. The group stresses secrecy: What's said at a Bilderberg conference stays at a Bilderberg conference. The organization says that encourages members to talk frankly, without the worry that what they say will wind up in the news.

The group has assembled at least three times in Canada, most recently June 8 to 11 this year at the Brookstreet Hotel in the Ottawa suburb of Kanata. According to a Bilderberg news release, prominent Canadians invited to the 2006 conference included former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna, Paul Desmarais, CEO of Power Corporation, Gordon Nixon, president and CEO of the Royal Bank of Canada, and Heather Reisman, chair and CEO of Indigo Books. 

 Seasoned Bilderberg opponent, Jim Tucker of American Free Press wrote:

"Prime Minister Stephen Harper took in the group's 2003 meeting in Versailles, France, while he was Opposition leader. But Tucker says the Bilderbergers are not pleased with Harper. It's because of Kyoto. The Bilderberg group, Tucker says, is behind the Kyoto Protocol. They're the ones who pushed it. Like they pushed NAFTA and the World Trade Organization - and "turned NATO into the UN's standing army. It's a step," Tucker writes, "on the road to creating world government."                     http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/bilderberg-group/

Past Canadian Bilderberg attendees have included: Jean Chretien, Conrad Black, Preston Manning, W. Edmund Clark, Paul Martin, Frank McKenna, and Gordon Campbell among others...

Last year, the Toronto Sun reported on Bilderberg attendance by Canadians again:

"At least five Canadians attended the four-day meeting in Spain earlier this month, including: CBC's Peter Mansbridge; former premier and ambassador Frank McKenna; Robert Prichard, the president of Ontario's Metrolinx; Indigo Books' Heather Reisman; and B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell.
Those choice Canucks sat down with Henry Kissinger, Bill Gates, Google boss Eric Schmidt and former U.S. Defense Policy board chairman Richard Perle, among 120 others from mostly Western Europe and the United States."

Wow! Peter Mansbridge?  Well, certainly the pillar of Canadian Media would certainly come clean regarding all he'd learned about the goings on at Bilderberg.  Finally, an upstanding, well trusted icon of the CBC would do what he had been trained to do.... report!  Sadly, Mansbridge remained as stone cold silent as an Inukshuk in February.  No truth for you Canadian truth-seekers!  Too bad, it certainly would be nice to know what the former Ambassador to the US and Finance Minister-turned-ruler of Toronto Dominion Bank, McKenna had discussed at every meeting he had attended.  What better opportunity to bolster viewership in the CBC than to shed light on the fact that Stephen Harper had attended Bilderberg in 2003 before his victorious defeat (aka minority government) over the Liberals in '06.   In my humble opinion, Mansbridge (et al.) has some 'splainin to do.

Equally troubling is the notion that the newly "transparent" Harper Government (stifling a snicker) has failed at every opportunity to become crystal-clear in that interpretation.  What exactly gets discussed at Bilderberg should be viewed as a threat to our National Security, our fundamental Rights and Freedoms as well as being Unconstitutional.  Why hasn't the CBC chosen to care about this in 2011 and  more importantly, the recent charges laid against war criminal Henry Kissinger by certain members of the Swiss Parliament.  Perhaps Manbridge has become the new media puppet, regurgitating what the worlds elite want to tell Canadians and the World.  Does this explain Mansbridges lukewarm examination of Benjamin Netanyahu over the issue of Palestine and the Israel peace process (watched it... ho hum)?  Mansbridge's lack of reporting on important issues, like Bilderberg and it's relevance to world affairs, policy and economic downturns only acts to reinforce the so-called conspiracy theories.  I guess if it walks like the truth, and quacks like the truth......
