Putin as 'Gog'?

The master presents his new apprentice with a gift, a "magic ring" from New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft (left). Putin arose to power via dubious means, and is in the process of revitalizing the old Soviet-style methods of assassination and military aggression in an attempt to grab the "brass ring" of world domination. His stealing of the ring may be symbolic of his intent to conquer the world through theft and violence, and may indicate he is the "Gog" of the "Gog of the land of Magog" as described in Ezekiel 38-39

On June 25, 2005, during a meeting with American business executives, Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin apparently stole a very special ring. It was a New England Patriots 2005 Super Bowl ring which the Patriots' owner, American paper magnate and venture capitalist Robert Kraft, had handed to Putin in order to show to him a prime example of American excellence. However Putin, apparently thinking it was a gift, pocketed the ring and walked off, much to the consternation of Kraft, who had no intention of giving away his precious ring. And though later Kraft claimed to have given it to Putin as a gift, those on the scene had gathered a different impression.

Biblical scholars who study apocalyptic have been looking for a man who could fill the shoes of the infamous "Gog of the land of Magog" mentioned in Ezekiel 38-39. However, the exact identification of this powerful leader to this date has remained a mystery. Some scholars have speculated that the mysterious "Gog" may have been a reference to the Lydian king Gyges, infamous in his time for having usurped the throne of Lydia (a small but prosperous country in the west of what is now modern Turkey), though until now there has been no real linkage between this ancient king of Turkey and the future king of the land of Magog. The land of Magog however is easily identified, being known since ancient times to be the vast area including Russia, the Ukraine, Central Asia and particularly the region around the Caucasus Mountains. Georgia, which lies in the south of the Caucausus region (and whose name may also be related to Gog/Gyges), is considered to be the heartland of the Magogian peoples, and was also the birthplace of Joseph Stalin, one of the most powerful and fearsome leaders in Russian history.

There are several variations of the story of the rise to power of Gyges, but the most famous is the version put forth by Plato in his Dialogues called "The Ring of Gyges". In this version, Gyges was portrayed as a simple Lydian shepherd who, after an earthquake opened a chasm in the ground, found therein the hollow statue of a bronze horse. And within the bronze horse was an ancient corpse that wore nothing but a golden ring. Gyges took the ring and thought nothing more of it until later, while sitting with the other shepherds and twisting the ring around on his finger, he found that when the collet of the ring was turned to the inside of his hand, his friends could no longer see him. Realizing that the ring could make him invisible, he soon formulated a plan wherein he would use the ring to take over the rule of the kingdom — and his plan was successful. Misusing the power of the ring, he seduced the queen and killed the king, taking over the kingship of Lydia for himself.

Commentators on Plato believe that he included this story in his Dialogues to show that even a righteous man, confronted with the ability to transcend social restrictions, would inevitably use that power to do evil. Similarly, commentators on the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien have noted that the ring featured prominently in his magnum opus, The Lord of the Rings was almost certainly influenced by this tale of Gyges' magic ring which made the wearer invisible and (through that power) eventually corrupted them. And it is here where the circle of Gog's ring is completed.

Living in Britain is now more dangerous than the Balkans, report reveals

Britain is now more dangerous than the Balkans, it was revealed yesterday.

You are more likely to be assaulted, robbed and burgled in Britain than in the region of southeast Europe once synonymous with war and gangsters, according to a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

Your car is at  least ten times more likely to be stolen in Britain than in Albania, Croatia or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

Western Europe suffers from double the amount of burglary, over four times as much  assault, and 15 times as much robbery as the Balkans, the report revealed.

Bringing criminals to justice is also more likely over there.

There are more police and more public prosecutors in Albania than there are in England and Wales, per head of population.

Even impoverished Moldova has more judges than we do.

The wide-ranging report, entitled 'Crime and its Impact on the Balkans', showed that while Britain and other western European countries continue to suffer from a crime wave, Balkan countries have shed their badlands image and have many types of crime under control.

Confirmed: Two countries seeking U.S. collapse

Tuesday 15 July 2008
 
HIDDEN SCANDAL OF FREDDIE MAC PENSION SCAM IS HEREBY EXPOSED

RUPERT MURDOCH THREATENED, TO KEEP THE LID ON THIS EXPLOSIVE SITUATION

By Christopher Story FRSA, Editor and Publisher, International Currency Review, World Reports Limited, London and New York.
 
 TWO FOREIGN POWERS CONFIRMED TO BE BEHIND THE CRISIS
LONDON, 15th July 2008: It will be recalled that we have repeatedly stated that the overall crisis in the United States, a.k.a. part of 'the Main Enemy', is attributable to a long-range 'Black' offensive by foreign powers to destroy the United States. PERIOD.

We have consistently indicated that one of the foreign powers behind this operation is Germany, and that the engine of this massive intelligence operation is the covert Nazi Strategic Deception Continuum based at Dachau, near Munich, Deutsche Verteidigungs Dienst (or DVD), which has always operated 'independently' of the German Government, is self-financing like the CIA, and is believed to 'report' its activities to the German Chancellor, who is not in the habit, historically, of overruling its global subversive operations against Britain and the United States.

At the same time, the Editor has published the second work by Anatoliy Golitsyn, The Perestroika Deception, which exposed Soviet long-range deception strategy against the West and the United States. The Editor acquired the rights to this manuscript, as Editor inter alia of Soviet Analyst, after the US intelligence community had tried to suppress it; and Edward Harle Limited duly published a greatly expanded version with Golitsyn's approval in 1995.

FACT: At the strategic intelligence level, the covert Soviet Union and the covert Nazi Continuum work together, to this day. That these two powers work covertly together was explicitly revealed in the 'Madrid Circular Letter', a document captured by the Allies in the early 1950s en route from the Nazis' German Geopolitical Centre in Madrid, which was set up by the Abwehr in 1942 to plan for the post-war period and, if Germany was defeated, to develop a new methodology designed to reverse the outcomes of the defeats suffered by Germany in the First and Second World Wars.

 RUPERT MURDOCH COERCED NOT TO EXPOSE FREDDIE MAC PENSION THEFT
The next FACT to be reported, in order to illuminate what follows, is that Rupert Murdoch, who now owns The Wall Street Journal as well as The Times, The Sunday Times and trash newspapers in the United Kingdom, received an unwelcome visit on Monday 14th July. Mr Murdoch, who is believed to live in Beverly Hills, was informed by his 'visitors' that he will cease to exist if he exposes what is exposed below. We believe that the visitors were sent on the orders of the highest-level American criminalist operatives who are, we also believe, agents of the foreign powers now confirmed by US sources to be engaged in an operation to steal the money and destroy America in the process.

Clearly, the unwelcome visit that Murdoch received represented a warning that he must ensure that his journalists do not ask basic questions like 'where did the money go', with reference for instance to the Freddie Mac pension fund referenced below, for fear that the lid on the can of worms would thereafter burst open into the public domain, rather than being contained within the Fifth Estate which the counterintelligence manipulators think they can discredit inter alia by their method of polluting the Internet with weird aberrations and diversionary red herrings.

More to the point, Rupert Murdoch is the CEO of a publicly traded corporation. This crude attempt to coerce him into suppressing crucial financial information that his journalists are not only entitled to elucidate but HAVE THE DUTY AS MEMBERS OF THE FOURTH ESTATE TO EXPOSE, is indeed a scandalous development that the whole of Wall Street needs to know about.

Further, the Government-Sponsored Enterprises in question hold approximately $12.5 trillion worth of mortgages on their books. The obfuscation operation that Mr Murdoch's visitors want the media tycoon to ensure that his staff do not question, also has to do with the intention of these snakes to WALK AWAY WITH ALL THE MONEY THEY HOPE TO HAVE STOLEN, and to keep top GSE officials and many other compromised US operatives out of jail. Mr Murdoch should disregard this coercion now that we have publicised it and proceed without further ado to expose what is going on and to show that he will not succumb to murderous blackmail and to the methodology of organised crime, which in case you had forgotten, is what we are dealing with.

Intelligence is linked to organised crime.
