How in the world can you say a program to fight terrorism is a program to turn in Christians and forcing the masses to get chip implants etc?

The article has nothing to do with that, yet, through the lens of your belief EVERYTHING takes on that haunting evil hue.

Do you think suspicious activity which could be linked to terrorism should go unreported?

The disconnect from reality being displayed here is really a bit stunning.

Why not fight REAL oppression instead of this imaginary stuff? Big corporations (like Walmart) contribute to poverty and misery all over the world - and WE pay for it.

Now that's a "beastly" act worth reporting!

Imaginary stuff you say? Do some research on Sam walton's grass roots. Wal-Mart...another co. owned and controlled by elitists who are part of the stock-controlled Babylonian system. In these last days all the major companies will HAVE TO align with the beast system. If they don't...they won't be in business.

That's why its being done slowly in the name of terrorism, to make it the norm. Are you following me? Still over your head? Make no mistakes, THEY ARE laying the foundation for the police state! Airports. Stores. Subways. What's next?? Submit? Obey? Conform? Assumed Guilty.....but since it's just the "same old day" to you, and all's well in Wonderland, carry on, eh?

Some of you really don't see it coming huh? For this very reason, some of us remain. Don't shoot the messengers. We do it because we care.

How about I take 2 tickets to some small island in the South Pacific filled with fair maidens and leave Jesus out of it? Thanks for the heads up that I need to leave this country.

Things like the patriot act infringe on privacy rights AND I heard someone musing the same ideas as you are here way back then so, no, it's not going over my head. I'm surprised that you think I'm that dense - but then again, when someone doesn't see what you see so clearly I guess an appearance of density is inevitable.

End-timers generally don't address real existing problems though. They imagine a persecution in the U.S. which is not happening. So anything that even hints at being a possibility of turning into something that supports modern end-timism is seized upon as "proof" (and must be due to the lack of any real proof).

The rulers, the power hungry systems, the "elite" have always been the problem. Crisis is always used to scare people into conforming - nothing new here. All along I've said we DO need to fight tyranny - so we are in agreement about that. But the real problem is when you and I keep supporting the oppression of the poor worldwide by supporting those corporations which engage in unfair labor practices.

You said it, Betsey didn't didn't call you dense, you called yourself dense. There are many of things that goes over Betsey's head too at times firstborn888, but the coming of Christ and the times that we're living in is not one of them, thank you Lord! How many times has He admonish us to WATCH AND PRAY? There's a lot more coming until ALL the prophecies has been fulfilled! The bible does not lie! It will all come to pass. Yes, we ought to be watching and praying......heeding the time.

And then.......there's yet more!!

Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn “says he is not worried about a trend in terror threats against the transit system,” WTOP reports. And so WMATA will begin random bag searches at Metro stations soon.

You know I love you Betsey but this seems to be grasping at straws with the transit system thing. I don't believe we are in any immediate danger from anything, so cool your heels a little bit please. The minute I feel we are in danger I'll let you know, I have a pretty good gauge about these things. But then again, they're just feelings and not written in stone. Let's see what happens on May 21, 2011.

Well I started a thread recently about it that went nowhere but if you go to YouTube you will see that there are all sorts of predictions about May 21, 2011 as the day of the Rapture or Jesus' return. There is a website promoting it by way of billboards. Pretty interesting stuff but I have a feeling that May 22 will prove the obvious.
