Moral Decline

Documenting The Moral Decline That Threatens To Destroy America

Is The Swine Flu Pandemic A Judgment From God For Our Moral Decline?

Is this swine flu pandemic a judgment from God for our moral decline?

Is this a case where God has taken his protective hand off of our society and has allowed this to happen?

Or does this have nothing to do with God at all?

Those are some very important questions.

The truth is that we are not going to be able to come to any hard conclusions about this for quite some time, if ever.

But that doesn't mean that these questions are not worth thinking about.

As this website has detailed for months and months, the U.S., the U.K. and most other countries in the world are in a serious state of moral decline.

We have rejected God and His ways, and so whether this pandemic is a judgment of God or not, the truth is that we should be expecting judgment as a society.

God has an incredible amount of patience, but as we see all through the Scriptures and all throughout history, at some point God decides that enough is enough.

In any event, this swine flu crisis is becoming quite frightening.

A confidential internal document out of Texas that reveals that authorities believe that there are 10 to 25 times as many actual swine flu cases as is being officially reported has gone absolutely viral on the Internet.

Dr. Marcus Gitterle, a doctor from New Braunfels, Texas, sent out an internal alert that was not meant to be seen by the public. The words that he penned in that internal alert should chill us all.

Gitterle explained in his internal memo that "what we are hearing privately from the CDC and Health Department is different from what you are hearing in the media."

It is hard to actually describe how dire Dr. Gitterle makes the situation sound in his memo. The following are some of the most shocking quotes from Dr. Gitterle in the document.....

"There are 10-25 times more actual cases (not possible cases -- actual), than what is being reported in the media."

"The way they fudge on reporting this is that it takes 3 days to get the confirmatory nod from the CDC on a given viral culture, but based on epidemiological grounds, we know that there are more than 10 cases for each “confirmed” case right now."

“ER’s south of here are becoming overwhelmed — and I mean that — already. It is coming in waves, but the waves are getting bigger.”

“Since it is such a novel (new) virus, there is no “herd immunity,” so the “attack rate” is very high. This is the percentage of people who come down with a virus if exposed. Almost everyone who is exposed to this virus will become infected, though not all will be symptomatic. That is much higher than seasonal flu, which averages 10-15%. The “clinical attack rate” estimation from CDC and WHO may be around 40-50%. This is the number of people who show symptoms. This is a huge number. It is hard to convey the seriousness of this to those outside of the medical fields.”

You can see an actual copy of this internal memo here:


If what Dr. Gitterle wrote is true, then the seriousness of this swine flu crisis is far beyond what most of us have been imagining.

Not only is this increasingly starting to look like a pandemic, but also some analysts are now asking whether this strain of the swine flu was man-made.

Indonesian Heath Minister Siti Fadilah Supari publicly stated on Tuesday that the swine flu virus could have been man-made.

Dr. Sherry Tenpenny has an excellent article out regarding the suspicious circumstances regarding the suspicious nature and appearance of this disease.

In addition, Dr. Leonard Horowitz is not only arguing that the swine flu virus was definitely man-made, but he is also naming specific doctors and organizations that he believes are possibly involved. Just check out this stunning YouTube report:



Whether this swine flu is man-made or not, the reality is that it is spreading quickly.

There are also now frightening indications that the swine flu outbreak is much worse than the mainstream media is telling us. Multiple eyewitness reports out of Mexico confirm that the real death toll there is far higher than the limited number of confirmed deaths that are being reported internationally.

Comments from Mexican eyewitnesses on a BBC News website tell of a much bleaker situation in Mexico than we have been told in the mainstream media. These chilling reports should put a chill up your spine.....

*Antonio Chavez, a medical doctor from Mexico City:

I’m a specialist doctor in respiratory diseases and intensive care at the Mexican National Institute of Health. There is a severe emergency over the swine flu here. More and more patients are being admitted to the intensive care unit. Despite the heroic efforts of all staff (doctors, nurses, specialists, etc) patients continue to inevitably die. The truth is that anti-viral treatments and vaccines are not expected to have any effect, even at high doses. It is a great fear among the staff. The infection risk is very high among the doctors and health staff.

There is a sense of chaos in the other hospitals and we do not know what to do. Staff are starting to leave and many are opting to retire or apply for holidays. The truth is that mortality is even higher than what is being reported by the authorities, at least in the hospital where I work it. It is killing three to four patients daily, and it has been going on for more than three weeks. It is a shame and there is great fear here. Increasingly younger patients aged 20 to 30 years are dying before our helpless eyes and there is great sadness among health professionals here.

*Alvaro Ricardez, Oaxaca City, Oaxaca, Mexico:

In the capital of my state, Oaxaca, there is a hospital closed because of a death related to the porcine influenza. In the papers they recognise only two people dead for that cause. Many friends working in hospitals or related fields say that the situation is really bad, they are talking about 19 people dead in Oaxaca, including a doctor and a nurse. They say they got shots but they were told not to talk about the real situation. Our authorities say nothing. Life goes on as usual here.

*Migdalia Cruz, Phoenix, Arizona:

I have a sister-in-law from San Luis Potosi state in Mexico and we were told that in San Luis Potosi there have been at least 78 deaths, just in that city alone, not 68 in all of Mexico, as is being reported. Schools have been closed until 6 May in this state and in other areas in Mexico. Also, many public venues are being closed, so this makes it more deadly and dangerous than has been stated.

*Yeny Gregorio Dávila, Mexico City:

I work as a resident doctor in one of the biggest hospitals in Mexico City and sadly, the situation is far from “under control”. As a doctor, I realise that the media does not report the truth. Authorities distributed vaccines among all the medical personnel with no results, because two of my partners who worked in this hospital (interns) were killed by this new virus in less than six days even though they were vaccinated as all of us were. The official number of deaths is 20, nevertheless, the true number of victims are more than 200. I understand that we must avoid to panic, but telling the truth it might be better now to prevent and avoid more deaths.

Hopefully reports like this will get out there and will make people realize how serious this all could become.

In the United States things are starting to become quite frightening as well. A child in Texas has become the first fatality from swine flu in the United States. In addition, there is now a report that North Carolina officials are involuntarily isolating swine flu patients. Please note the "involuntary" part of that. Imagine if this happens all over the nation and Americans who show symptoms of the swine flu start getting ripped away from their families and sent to isolation facilities and camps.

Very scary stuff.

U.S. officials now say that "a worst case scenario" for this swine flu crisis would be two million Americans dead.

That doesn't sound good.

Reports of new swine flu outbreaks are coming in almost constantly now and the World Health Organization has raised the threat level from a Level 4 Global Outbreak to a Level 5, which has never been done before. Meanwhile, scientists are completely puzzled how such a powerful strain that combines elements of swine flu, bird flu and human flu could have appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

So is this going to be the big one?

Is this the one that is going to kill millions of people?

It is too early to tell, but here is what we do know at this hour.....

First of all, this "swine flu" is not just run of the mill swine flu. It contains elements of the following.....

*Avian flu
*Human flu
*European swine flu
*Asian swine flu

Now how in the world did an incredibly strong combination of these viruses appear seemingly out of nowhere?

Scientists are baffled.

Meanwhile this "swine flu" is popping up all over the U.S. and Mexico.

In Mexico alone, there are already over 2500 suspected cases and 159 suspected deaths from the swine flu so far. Most public events have been canceled, and millions of Mexicans are hiding indoors in an attempt to escape the swine flu.

109 cases of the swine flu have been confirmed in the United States, and the CDC says that it is too late to contain the swine flu outbreak in the United States.

In fact, 298 public schools all over the United States were closed on Thursday due to fear over this swine flu.

These outbreaks in the U.S. and Mexico are already causing panic reactions from other parts of the world.

EU health commissioner Andorra Vassiliou has asked Europeans to postpone nonessential travel to the United States or Mexico. In addition, China has banned the import of hog and pork products from Mexico and parts of the United States.

However, the truth is that the swine flu is now spreading all over the world. New reports of swine flu cases have come in from Canada, Israel, France, New Zealand, Costa Rica and South Korea.

Google actually has a great tool that you can use to track the spread of this swine flu. You can follow the progress of the swine flu on Google maps right here.

So what can we expect to see going forward?

The next few days are going to be key.

If only a few hundred people end up dying from this swine flu that is not that big of a deal. Hundreds of people die from many different causes every day.

But if this disease starts sweeping the globe and thousands of people start dying, then that could indicate that this IS the big one.

The reality is that we have been warning of a coming flu plague for quite some time.

What is even more disturbing is the possibility that this new flu may be engineered. We recently reported on the unlabeled bird flu/human flu mixture that Baxter International "accidentally" sent out to other labs.

Why would our scientists mix these dangerous viruses together so recklessly? The CDC was mixing human flu and bird flu together as far back as 2004. This is incredibly dangerous to do. One mistake and a pandemic virus can be released that could kill millions of people.

So how many people will this "swine flu" virus kill?

Is this going to become a massive pandemic that bring the world to a standstill?

Prophet Tom Deckard (who has a perfect track record stretching back over 30 years) has been prophesying for several years that a flu pandemic is coming that will kill millions of people. The following video examines Prophet Deckard's bird flu prophecy in light of recent events.....



So what should we all think about this?

The truth is that it is still way too soon to draw any firm conclusions. It will be important for all of us to stay tuned to the news over the next few days so that we can determine how to keep our families safe. However, the fact that the World Health Organization has raised the global pandemic alert level to Level 5 is certainly not a good sign.

If what Dr. Gitterle says is true, and 40-50% of those exposed to this flu come down with it, then we could be facing a pandemic of staggering proportions.

Just think about this.....if 100 million people worldwide end up contracting this flu, and if only 2% of them die from it, then that would still be 2 million dead people.

But most Americans do not seem too concerned about this outbreak. In fact, most of them are making absolutely no preparations.

In light of all of this information, hopefully you will not make the same mistake. Do what you need to do to prepare yourself and your family for what is ahead.

One of the most important things that you can do to prepare is to get right with God. If you have sin in your life then this is a great time to repent of that sin and to turn to the Lord and ask Him to help you and your family get through this crisis safely.

National Service Bill Prohibits Telling Others About Jesus

President Barack Obama has signed into law the 5.7 billion dollar national service bill. This bill dramatically expands national service, but it also places extreme restrictions on those who want to serve.

"National service" sounds great until you realize exactly what is in this bill. The House version of this bill includes a provision that bans all national service participants from being involved in any form of evangelism.

You can find the full text of the bill here:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-1388

The final version of this bill prohibits national service participants from engaging in the following:

Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.

So the U.S. government plans to create a massive horde of young people who are serving the United States but who will be banned from serving the Lord Jesus Christ and from sharing the gospel with their friends.

Talk about the secularization of American society - a bill which seeks to get countless thousands of young Americans involved in "national service" and which will prohibit them from serving God.

What kind of insanity is this?

The truth is that the economy is a mess, wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and in several other covert locations have stretched the U.S. military beyond the breaking point, and many American cities need to be rebuilt. So now the Obama administration plans to use the cheap, conscripted labor of young people to get things fixed.

It's called involuntary servitude.

But this is what some in the Obama administration have been eyeing for quite some time.

Barack Obama's new chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, is the coauthor of a book that calls for, among other things, compulsory national service for all Americans between the ages of 18 to 25.

The following quotes are from pages 61-62 of the book Emanuel coauthored in 2006 entitled "The Plan: Big Ideas for America":

It's time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service. ...

Here's how it would work. Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service. They'll be asked to report for three months of basic civil defense training in their state or community, where they will learn what to do in the event of biochemical, nuclear or conventional attack; how to assist others in an evacuation; how to respond when a levee breaks or we're hit by a natural disaster. These young people will be available to address their communities' most pressing needs.


Now keep in mind that the person who wrote that is going to be the new White House chief of staff.

Wow.

The frightening thing is that it looks like some of Emanuel's ideas are already being implemented by the new administration.

The official website of President-Elect Obama, Change.gov, originally announced that Obama would soon "require" that all students in middle school all the way through college would be forced to participate in community service programs.

Fortunately, the Internet exploded with outrage, and the website's wording was quickly softened.

But before the change, this is what Obama's website said about this program: "Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year."

I think that we have had enough of "Patriot acts" and I know that most young Americans do not want to be part of any kind of a draft.

How many of you would willingly submit to mandatory national service?

What would YOU do if you got drafted into the U.S. military?

The U.S. government is taking more control over our lives than ever before, and still most Americans seem like they could care less.

How far has America gone down the tubes when the government is passing laws that ban young volunteers from sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Things are getting frightening.

Waterboarded 183 Times In One Month?

New details about U.S. torture of terror suspects have come out, and the news is not pretty.

We had previously reported on the coverup of the torture scandal here:

http://themoralcollapseofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/torture-scandal.html

As if everything in our previous article was not bad enough, it has now been revealed that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times in March 2003 and Abu Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times in August 2002.

Waterboarding brings a person right up to the point of death.

Imagine having to go through that once.

Now imagine having to go through it 183 times in one month.

How could we treat any human being that way?

Torture Scandal

On Thursday President Barack Obama released four top secret memos from during the Bush administration that discussed the torture of terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay and at other secret detention centers around the globe.

In a statement accompanying the release of the memos, Obama said very clearly that those who had been involved in the torture would NOT be prosecuted. Obama stated that this is a "time for reflection, not retribution."

What in the world?

No prosecution for anyone?

President Obama correctly acknowledged that this was a "dark and painful chapter in our history."

So why is nobody being held accountable?

“Nothing will be gained,” Obama said, “by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past.”

Is he serious?

Is anything gained when we put a rapist in jail?

Is anything gained when we put a serial killer behind bars?

How can he say that nothing would be gained from prosecuting those people who have committed horrific torture crimes?

The new attorney-general, Eric Holder, also stated that there will be no prosecution of CIA operatives working within the guidelines set by the Bush administration: "It would be unfair to prosecute dedicated men and women working to protect America for conduct that was sanctioned in advance by the justice department."

Unfair?

Was it unfair to prosecute the Nazis after World War II who were "just following the orders of Hitler"?

You can read the four torture memos that Obama released here:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/page/torture-memos

The torture techniques described in these memos include.....

*Forced nudity

*"Walling", which is slamming a prisoner into a wall

*"Cramped confinement" which means "placement of the individual in a confined space"

*Stinging insects placed inside "a confinement box"

*Waterboarding - one of the memos actually admits that "the use of waterboarding constitutes a threat of imminent death"

*Sleep deprivation for several days

*Sleep deprivation while wearing a diaper

*The use of "stress positions" to cause "muscle fatigue"

*"Dietary manipulation"

*Facial and abdominal slapping

One of the most shocking things in these memos is that they recognized that the techniques that they were authorizing were ones that we condemned other countries for using.

However, the reality of American torture goes far beyond what was described in those four memos.

The truth is that it is documented that the torture of American prisoners around the world has been absolutely sadistic and brutal.

The following is list of some of the torture acts that U.S. military personnel committed against "terror suspects" as recorded in the executive summary of the Article 15-6 investigation of the 800th Military Police Brigade by Major General Antonio M. Taguba. A full copy of this report can be found at MSNBC.com.....

*Videotaping and photographing naked male and female detainees;

*Forcibly arranging detainees in various sexually explicit positions for photographing;

*Forcing detainees to remove their clothing and keeping them naked for several days at a time;

*Forcing naked male detainees to wear women’s underwear;

*Forcing groups of male detainees to masturbate themselves while being photographed and videotaped;

*Arranging naked male detainees in a pile and then jumping on them;

*Positioning a naked detainee on a MRE Box, with a sandbag on his head, and attaching wires to his fingers, toes, and penis to simulate electric torture;

*Writing "I am a Rapest" (sic) on the leg of a detainee alleged to have forcibly raped a 15-year old fellow detainee, and then photographing him naked;

*Placing a dog chain or strap around a naked detainee’s neck and having a female Soldier pose for a picture;

*A male MP guard having sex with a female detainee;

*Using military working dogs (without muzzles) to intimidate and frighten detainees, and in at least one case biting and severely injuring a detainee;

*Taking photographs of dead Iraqi detainees.

*Breaking chemical lights and pouring the phosphoric liquid on detainees;

*Threatening detainees with a charged 9mm pistol;

*Pouring cold water on naked detainees;

*Beating detainees with a broom handle and a chair;

*Threatening male detainees with rape;

*Sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broom stick.

Does that sound like torture to you?

I certainly hope so.

Don't you think that those who participated in such acts should be held accountable?

So do I.

But apparently Obama does not, so all of the torturers are going to escape punishment and will never be brought to trial.

The word "shame" is not nearly strong enough to describe this state of affairs.

Great Apostasy

Christians around the world are rapidly abandoning many of the beliefs that Christianity has taught for centuries. For example, a new nationwide survey conducted by The Barna Group has actually revealed that most American Christians do not believe that Satan or the Holy Spirit exists. Even the Pope decided that it would be a good idea to quote from the Hindu scriptures during his Good Friday prayer.

What in the world is happening?

It is called apostasy.

It has been happening for a long time and now the majority of Christians do not even believe that Satan or the Holy Spirit exists. Here is some of the data from Barna's survey:

*40% of American Christians strongly agreed that Satan “is not a living being but is a symbol of evil” and an additional 19% of American Christians said that they “agree somewhat” with that statement.

*38% of American Christians strongly agreed and 20% of American Christians agreed somewhat that the Holy Spirit is “a symbol of God’s power or presence but is not a living entity.”

But it is not just American Christians. Even the Pope has gone off the beaten path.

Hindus are applauding Pope Benedict for including a verse from Hindu scripture in the Good Friday Meditations and Prayers that was led by him at the Roman Colosseum.

The “Way of the Cross at the Colesseum” Meditations and Prayers on Good Friday included a verse from Brahadaranyakopanishad ("Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, from death to immortality."), a line from Tagore’s Gitanjali ("Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service."), and a reference to Mahatma Gandhi.

Since when does a "Christian" leader include Hindu scriptures in a Good Friday service?

Apparently now.

The reality is that Christianity is falling apart and is rapidly declining in western countries.

But where a void is left behind, other forces are eager to rush in and fill it.

Now Kabbalah classes are being taught in California public schools.

The program is called "Spirituality for Kids" and it is offered in Los Angeles public elementary schools during the day or after school.

"Spirituality for Kids" was created by a leader of the Kabbalah Centre International, and it actively promotes New Age spiritualism.

The following is one exchange between a teacher and a student that was witnessed by a writer for the L.A. Times:

"What does greater satisfaction bring?" she asks. Matthew replies: "Spiritual power!"

Zucker asks him where the power comes from? "Your inner light," the boy answers.

And where is that light found? "In your heart," he says.


Since 2006, almost 4,400 Los Angeles children have taken part in "Spirituality for Kids". The Spirituality for Kids Foundation reportedly has almost 18 million dollars in assets, and celebrity Kabbalah devotees such as Madonna are among its funders.

So Kabbalah gets to be taught in public schools, but if you say the name of Jesus you get taken to federal court.

What a great country we live in, eh?

Downing A Pitcher Of Beer In 5 Seconds

We used to encourage young men to be responsible and to be strong leaders in their homes and in their communities.

Now we encourage them to be slackers, to act like idiots and to drink as much alcohol as possible.

What have we become?

Check out this video of one young man downing a pitcher of beer in 5 seconds.....

Christian Passover?

Which holiday is more Christian: Passover or Easter?

On first glance that might seem like a ridiculous question. Isn't Passover a "Jewish" holiday and Easter a "Christian" holiday?

Well, not exactly.

The earliest Christians did not celebrate "Easter".

They celebrated Passover.

After all, when did Jesus die? (On the eve of Passover)

When did He rise from the dead? (During the Feast of Unleavened Bread)

What holiday foreshadowed the sacrifice of the lamb of God? (Passover)

So why do Christians celebrate a holiday called Easter?

Do you even know what the word "Easter" means?

Have you ever wondered where that word came from?

That is something I always wondered about when I was growing up.

However, it was not until I started doing some research that I began to learn the truth.

Our old reference books actually told us the truth about these things.....

The Britannica Encyclopedia (1934) stated:

"EASTER (es’ter). Ostara, or Eastre, was the goddess of Spring in the religion of the ancient Angles and Saxons. Every April a festival was celebrated in her honor. With the beginnings of Christianity, the old gods were put aside. From then on the festival was celebrated in honor of the resurrection of Christ, but was still known as Easter after the old goddess."

So why do we celebrate "Easter"?

Well, the story goes back a long way - to the ancient Middle East.

Have you ever heard of "Ishtar" or "Ashtoreth"? Most of you probably have. They are ancient names of the same pagan fertility goddess. In fact, if you trace the various pagan fertility goddesses back far enough, they all trace back to Semiramis of ancient Babylon.

Over time, "Ashtoreth" and "Asherah" became "Ishtar" which eventually became "Eastre" and then finally "Easter", but it is all the same pagan fertility goddess.

Some other names of "Easter" over the centuries included Aphrodite from ancient Cyprus, Astarte from ancient Greece, Demeter from Mycenae, Kali from India and Ostara, a Norse goddess of fertility.

Easter "eggs" and bunny rabbits are pagan fertility symbols that celebrate this pagan fertility goddess, and they have been used as symbols for her for thousands of years.

So why do Christians celebrate "Easter"?

Jesus did not die on "Easter".

Do you want to know when Jesus died?

He died on the eve of Passover.

You see, in the "Old Testament", God had His people come up to Jerusalem three times per year. One of those times was for Passover.

During the very first Passover, God had the Jews take the blood of a lamb and put it on their doorposts so that the death angel would pass over their houses.

And do you know what doorposts are most commonly made of?

Wood.

And do you know where wood comes from?

From a tree.

So the message of that very first Passover was that the blood of the lamb on the tree covers us from the wrath of God.

Does that sound familiar?

It should.

It is the message of the cross - the blood of the lamb on the tree covers us from the wrath of God!

So for hundreds and hundreds of years, God had His people gather in the exact city where Christ would die, at the exact time of the year when He would die, and He had them celebrate a holiday that perfectly foreshadowed the sacrifice of Jesus the Messiah.

So why do Christians not celebrate the holiday of Passover?

Did you also know that Jesus celebrated Passover? The Last Supper was actually a Passover meal (just look it up in the Scriptures).

During the Last Supper Jesus said to do this meal in memory of Him.

And did you know that all of humanity will celebrate the Passover during the 1000 year reign of Christ (see Ezekiel 45-46)?

Did you know that "Easter" was celebrated by ancient civilizations such as the Assyrians, the Phoenicians, and the Philistines? Did you know that ritual pagan sex acts were involved with the celebration of "Easter"?

So why have we all forsaken a holiday which predicted the sacrifice of Jesus, which is full of symbolism about Jesus, which is during the precise time when Jesus died and rose again and which God tells us in the Scriptures to remember?

Why have we instead been celebrating a pagan fertility festival that is named after a pagan fertility goddess and is filled with pagan symbols and traditions?

The YouTube video below contains even more information on this.....



Perhaps it is time to reconsider a lot of the things that we have taken for granted.

The Bible has nothing to say about Easter.

But it has a ton to say about Passover.

If you do not know much about Passover, I would encourage you to pick up your Bible and to read about it. Passover is a truly extraordinary holiday that perfectly foreshadowed the sacrifice of Christ every year for over a thousand years before Jesus arrived on earth.

So is Passover more Christian than Easter?

The truth is that there isn't even a comparison.
