The Dutch sent Henry Hudson to find a water route across America to the Pacific. Though unsuccessful, Hudson claimed the land along the "Hudson" River, and there the Dutch West India Company founded New Netherlands, receiving its charter JUNE 3, 1621.
It seems to me that far too many people in our country overlook the importance of child rearing. Many seem to feel that just about everything else--job, career, money, "success," etc.--occupies a higher priority than raising honest, God-fearing children. However, Connie and I decided years ago that raising our children would be a priority in our lives, and boy, we are glad we did!
Southern women scattered spring flowers on the graves of both the Northern and Southern soldiers who died during the Civil War.
This was the origin of Memorial Day, which in 1868 was set on MAY 30.
In 1968, it was moved to the last Monday in May.
In his book, The History of the United States, published in 1832, Noah Webster wrote: "All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."
This double DVD set, taken from a teaching day at a church in Sussex, tells you all you need to know about everything from the fast forming EU superstate, the coming New World Order, Bible prophecy in the news, the future of Israel, false religions and much, much more.

ALAN FRANKLIN writes: It is already a serious criminal offence to overfill your wheelie bin in Britain, and if you want to build a house be prepared to create a new lake for any newt which happens to be in residence in a puddle on site. I was recently threatened with criminal prosecution as the wrong sort of windows (vinyl, not wood) had been installed in a house we were buying! Green lunacy is running rife, with the evil EU in the forefront. Here's the latest from the claptrap machine.....
"The Americans are the first people whom Heaven has favoured with an opportunity of...choosing the forms of government under which they should live."
Like America, Britain is suffering by being led by economic know-nothings, wasting the money they borrow to spend. The last time a British government borrowed money to finance tax cuts was Ted Heath's, 35 years ago: his regime ended in ruins, as did his career, as inflation headed towards 30 per cent; a pointless prices-and-incomes policy caused massive industrial unrest, and the country plunged into the third-world horror of the three-day week. Mr Brown is now heading in the same direction.
Daniel Webster said, 'God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard and defend it.'"
There is an old adage that, for the most part, has proven itself to be
true: "Birds of a feather flock together." In other words, one can discern much about a person by the company he or she keeps.
Accordingly, here is a sample of the quirky company of Senator John McCain.
The truth about Israel is seldom told in the media. Here "Carlos" tells the real story....The Palestinians firing rockets from Gaza have never said they will stop if Israel withdraws from the West Bank. They have vowed to continue until they have obliterated the "Zionist entity" and have "reclaimed their land," by which they mean every acre from the river to the sea. This is what they say, even in their children’s TV programs, and I believe them.
I believe the two major parties in the USA are two peas in the same pod or, as Pat Buchanan calls them, "two wings of the same bird of prey." In my opinion, both parties are selling out our constitutional liberties, our independence, and our national sovereignty. At the national level, I can no longer in good conscience support either of them.
Mother's Day was held in Boston in 1872 at the suggestion of Julia Ward Howe, writer of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
In the introduction to Edward L.R. Elson's book, America's Spiritual Recovery, 1954, J. Edgar Hoover wrote: "We can see all too clearly the devastating effects of Secularism on our Christian way of life. The period when it was smart to 'debunk' and undermine our traditions ... and high standards of conduct. "
So who really runs the EU? Who is behind those strange images of the Tower of Babel being rebuilt; who caused the Strasbourg parliament building to look like a rebuilt Tower of Babel, and who chose the woman riding the beast as a motif which crops up time and again in the EU? These are things I talk about when asked to give presentations. Meanwhile, take a look at this blog, which indicates that civil servants- unelected, of course- are the real power brokers. ALAN FRANKLIN.
While the now discredited Global Warming fanatics continue their outdated talk of rising temperatures governments and newspaper editors haven’t taken the truth on board yet. The EU is demanding that we sacrifice food production to grow crops for ethanol production just at the very moment that the land is desperately needed to grow food. Read on for the real truth....
One of Britain's richest men has hired Cherie Blair's law firm to advise him on a £750,000 High Court battle that could force Gordon Brown to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
A gunshot at high noon on APRIL 22, 1889, began the famous Oklahoma land rush. Within 9 hours some two million acres became the private property of settlers who staked their claims.
At last, the people of Britain who want to get us out of the vile EU have a voice at Westminster. Bob Spink, the MP for Castle Point in Essex, said he was "increasingly disappointed" with the Conservative Party, which expelled him last month. He has defected to UKIP - the only party to be trusted on Europe as all the others want to keep us IN. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Mr Spink said last night: "I am delighted to join the Ukip team, helping to fight for Britain's interests in Europe and for better policy on the issues that really matter to people.
Human rights activist Ayaan Harsi Ali has issued a stark warning about the growing threat of Muslim extremism in Britain. In London's Evening Standard she says:
+ Islamic Faith Schools must close
+ Sharia law could happen here
+ Multiculturalism has failed
+ Islam is the new fascism.
Spring is late in England this year, but the bluebell woods are coming into their breathtaking glory. If sinful, fallen earth is this beautiful, how matchless, how indescribable, heaven must be! - by Pat Franklin
Much of southern England woke yesterday to The Great Pong.
Noses twitched as a wicked whiff wafted across the land.
Weathermen were quick to tell us Europe was to blame. As it often is.
But what was causing the gut-churning stink that drifted our way on the gentle morning breeze?
Perhaps it was the stench of corruption in Brussels.......
The congressional hearings, along with eyewitness testimony and subsequent infrared video of the events at Waco led many to believe that federal agents were allowed to lie under oath with impunity. It is a fact that crucial evidence was conveniently "lost" by federal agents. Worse still was the release of videotapes of the events by investigative reporters showing the utter absurdity and duplicity of the government's account of the tragedy.
On Wednesday, Israel's Supreme Court issued a ruling that will likely have a significant impact on the Messianic Jewish community. Messianic Jews are Jews who believe that Jesus - Yeshua in Hebrew - is the Messiah of the Jewish people. The Court ruled that being a Messianic Jew cannot prevent Israeli citizenship if the Jewish descent is from the person's father's side.
The livelihood of all in the Eurozone is affected by its level against the Dollar and other currencies. The European Central Bank - basically German run - insists on high interest rates to fight inflation. This means that many industries are uncompetitive and jobs are lost. When I speak I often point out that the Euro will only be a temporary step towards the one-world currency that is coming soon - an electronic trading system that will lead to the mark of the Beast. Times are getting more interesting by the day. ALAN FRANKLIN.
This year Republicans had an opportunity to nominate a real American constitutionalist for President, a statesman in the similitude of Thomas Jefferson or James Madison. That man was Texas Congressman, Ron Paul. Unfortunately, the Republican faithful seem to be incapable of discerning the marks of true greatness, not to mention fidelity to constitutional government.
In 1988, President Reagan said: "I believe God did give mankind unlimited gifts to invent, produce and create. And for that reason it would be wrong for governments to devise a tax structure that suppresses those gifts."
The Civil War began on Wilmer McLean's farm in Manassas Junction, Virginia, with the First Battle of Bull Run. A Union shell exploded in his kitchen.
"Global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory. " This politically incorrect quote , actually telling the truth for a change, is actually part of a story from the BBC website, of all places. Global non-warming is a big fat lie, conjured up to frighten us all into accepting restrictions on our lives and eventually ushering in a one world government "to save the earth." This is part of the rest of the BBC report.
God’s Word is clear, we are to “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” It’s not a suggestion, it’s a command. However, here is the question: how would we recognize this peace we are commanded to pray for? What are we to look for in this time in which we live? Does it mean complete absence of war or violence? Must we see proverbial lions actually lie down with lambs?
America's most celebrated jurist, Daniel Webster (himself a dedicated Christian man), said: "God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it." Obviously, Christian men down through our history have personally and collectively shown themselves more than willing to "guard and defend" our liberties.
This spring in Britain, from deep down, the earth across the country shook. For those who like omens it was almost as if England itself has begun to shake from its roots and is, at last, awaking to the danger of the EU take-over of Britain, and the appalling Lisbon Treaty currently going through Parliament.
EU leaders have approved a version of a plan by French President Nicolas Sarkozy for a grand Mediterranean Union stretching from Morocco to Turkey.The details are to be worked out by June, before a summit on 13 July in Paris under the French EU presidency, which would formally launch the Union for the Mediterranean.
The union is to involve some 39 countries - the EU's 27 members and around 12 southern states, such as Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Israel, Syria and Turkey.
More on the scheme to expand the EU's influence."The Union for the Mediterranean ... is a formidable bridge between two river banks, the Western world and the Arab world," said French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner. "I hope that we will do it together, with the Germans in particular and all those others who want to take part." This is from the International Herald Tribune.
Charles Darwin was not just wrong about "evolution" - the crazy idea that staggeringly complex mechanisms came about by random chance from a pool of slime - he was also a racist.This comment from Dave Hunt's Berean Call reveals this.
What can Chuck mean with this story? Is he boosting for McCain? Read on and find out.....AF
I think it is time that we all stood up and gave the Republican Party a big round of applause. I mean, they have done us all a huge favor.
By an overwhelming majority, the GOP has prevented a potential plague from enveloping these United States of America, and I think it is time that we acknowledged it.
It is odd that America, which has abundant oil both offshore and in Alaska, is importing $600 billion of energy products this year. So a country stuffed with natural resources is ignoring them and instead choosing to bankrupt itself. The reason is that the areas where the oil is provably located, in the wildlife reserves of Alaska and offshore, have been rendered off-limits by a coterie of enviroloonies and lame brain politicians who listen to green lies instead of responding to commonsense. ALAN FRANKLIN.
I wrote this in response to an article from a friend who runs a TV ministry in America.The article speculated about exchange controls in Europe to fight the overvalued currency. Asked where I saw things heading, this was my reply, covering everything from the coming cash of cash, The Greater Depression and the entry of antichrist.
Here is an article from The Daily Telegraph, London, written by a great reporter - Ambrose Evans-Pritchard. He says what I have been saying for many months - the world economy is soon going over a cliff. Read the article below and get out of debt fast! Also, read our new book, Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain, which has chapters warning of just this - and the coming foreclosure crisis. Buy the book from this website. ALAN FRANKLIN.
We hope and pray that during 2008 President Bush and Condoleezza Rice will experience a change of heart. That their drive down the treacherous Roadmap will come to a screeching halt and that they will change course from this path toward disaster. That they will consider Israel’s many accomplishments:
Israel, the 100th smallest country, with less than 1/1000th of the world's population, can make claim to an astounding number of society's advances in almost every direction!
A Muslim checkout worker at British store Marks & Spencer refused to handle a Bible, claiming it was "unclean". The company says it was "a misunderstanding". So that's all right, then. Imagine the reaction from the "liberal media" if a Christian had said the same about the Koran.
Comment by Derek Bennett, Editor of Eurorealistnl@aol.com
The question to ask is not about China being fit to host the Olympic Games, but will Britain be fit to host them in 2012?
In four years time when the Olympic Games come here, we in the UK will be well on our way to a police state which will be as equally oppressive as China.
A recent USA Today report confirmed what most of us already knew:
America has lost touch with its history. The story ran on February 26,
2008 and begins by saying, "Big Brother. McCarthyism. The patience of Job."Don't count on your typical teenager to nod knowingly the next time you drop a reference to any of these. A study out today finds that about half of 17-year-olds can't identify the books or historical events associated with them.
Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Iranian regime has been the principal state sponsor of terrorism across the globe, with innocent civilians in London, Berlin, and Paris, and even as far as Buenos Aires, Beirut, and the Horn of Africa the victims.
Nothing annoys a liberal more than when one of their celebrated intelligentsia defects toward the Right. This week, yet another Leftist icon, David Mamet, announced he is coming to his senses. ALAN FRANKLIN adds: True confession - Pat and I were both Guardian-reading lefties, until the time when our children came along and we realised that order and discipline had value. We moved sharply right -and now realise that socialism, the current curse of Britain, is deadening and destructive.
This is a good article, from WorldNetDaily. It is astonishing, even in "End Times" Christian circles, how often anti-semitism creeps into stories and comments. The writer usually states the obvious, that a mega-crash is coming and the world is heading for a crisis. Then comes the insidious conclusion: behind it all is a Jewsh conspiracy. I observe that if Jews control the media they do a poor job of getting good publicity for Israel, which is criticised in all media almost non-stop! AF.
After witnessing the philosophizing, postulating, and pontificating of the various conservative speakers (or those to whom I spoke in private conversation), I am left with the very profound and distinct impression that the so-called conservative movement is dead. It is not
dying: it is dead. Totally and thoroughly dead.
Most people in Britain are not aware that the EU is responsible for such diverse things as fortnightly bin collections, higher electricity bills, home information packs and rules on children of twelve having to sit in car booster seats. The fact is about 80 per cent of our laws come from the sinister superstate of Europe - the one we were told would never happen. Read and absorb this mass of information.
Leaders of the treacherous scheme to merge the USA with Canada and Mexico in the North American Union are asking business leaders to help with a PR campaign to counter adverse publicity. If you want to know what is going on behind your backs, get our book Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain, from our web-shop - or ask Alan Franklin to speak to your church or group. We will be in America in late summer and are available for speaking dates.
A big brother British government scheme to make all citizens carry identity cards, complete with biometric details and much other information, is being introduced soon. Britons are already the most watched people on earth, with one spy camera for every 12 citizens, but the socialist government has even more sinister plans to monitor every aspect of every citizen's life.
“Many trees have fallen...and the electric lines are down. It is as if we had suffered an aerial attack or lost a battle. This is a terrible disaster. We’re hungry and cold.” A story from The Daily Reckoning shows just what a delusion is the "global warming" theory. China could do with some of it now.....
Unlike Hamas militants, who rejoice at the death of any Israeli, irrespective of whether they are civilian or military, ordinary Israelis feel much anguish over the loss of innocent Palestinian lives, as happened during the weekend's Israeli rocket attacks on suspected Hamas strongholds....However, newspapers like Britain's Guardian and Independent always use any attempt by Israel to defend itself as an excuse to vent their spleen on the Jewish state.
Democracy responds to the mob of voters...the housing slump is working its way into family budgets...and all three of Americans' major assets could continue going down for years. So ignore the housing bulls! More insights into the decline and fall of the American economy, from The Daily Reckoning. Remember, Bush's ‘conservative’ administration added more to America’s burden than all the administrations since George Washington – put together.
The last thing we need is another liberal neocon in the White House.
If the Presidency of George W. Bush proved anything, it proved the hazard of electing phony Republican conservatives. At least one is able to clearly see a liberal for what he or she is when they have a "D" behind their name.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been holding discussions with some of his oldest allies on how he could mount a campaign later this year to become full-time president of the EU council, the prestigious new job characterised as "president of Europe". Alan Franklin comments: B. Liar has all the necessary qualities as he is slippery, deceitful and is now a Catholic. Should do well.
According to a report in Al-Ahkbar, a Lebanese newspaper said to be affiliated with Hizb'allah, the Syrian and Iranian-sponsored terrorist organization does not intend to let last week's execution of top terrorist Amad Mugniyah be left unanswered.
Secularists will not admit it, but nations rise and fall at the pleasure of Almighty God. America's founders certainly understood this fact. Even Benjamin Franklin, who was one of the least spiritual of America's Founding Fathers, told the delegates at the constitutional convention, "We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that 'Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.'
America has forgotten this and is reaping the whirlwind. For much more on this theme, get our book, Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain, on this website.
The mainstream press, which affords Obama nearly unanimous glowing coverage, has repeatedly failed to report a reality that doesn't quite fit the Obama-as-Messiah narrative. Namely, that this self-styled agent of hope and change is a political opportunist extraordinaire. Another interesting look at the nonentity who may become president.
Pilgrim William Bradford wrote of a ship returning to England in 1625 with beaver skins to trade for supplies:
"They...were well within the England channel, almost in sight of Plymouth. But...there she was unhapply taken by a Turkish man-of-war and carried off to Morocco where the captain and crew were made slaves." Islamic pirates carried over a million Europeans off to slavery in Africa- a little known fact of history.
The default rate in America's 'prime' mortgage market has hit a record 4pc, prompting fears of house prices crashing by 25pc This confounds expectations that middle-class Americans with good credit records would be able to weather the storm. The world is heading for "The Greater Depression," as I have been predicting for years. This is a great article by the London Daily Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard.
It is time to say it: the two major parties hold a death grip on the American people. Instead of representing the people, both the Republican and Democrat parties are bought and paid for by special interest groups and multinational corporations. Neither party pays any attention to the U.S. Constitution but both are largely marching in lockstep toward bigger and bigger government.
USA Today says “The U.S. population will soar to 438 million by 2050.” Most population growth will be driven by immigration and births to immigrants. How depressing. And it ought to make you mad, so that you want to “do something” about it... like build a wall or something. This interesting commentary - full of challenging questions - is from The Daily Reckoning, a recommended daily financial newsletter.
All round the world the Russian bear is stirring, sending bombers to fly around the coast of Britain, threatening Ukraine with missiles if it joins NATO and, in this story from The Australian, buzzing a US carrier. The Gog/Magog invasion of Israel detailed in Ezekiel 38/39 could be close!
One thing is certain: with John McCain as the GOP standard-bearer, Christian conservatives and constitutionalists cannot vote for either the Republican or Democrat candidate this year. Staying home and not voting is an admission of defeat and should be dismissed out-of-hand. There is an alternative.....
Here comes the New World Order- a continuing story. Big brother will soon know ALL your details. The FBI is gearing up to create a massive computer database of people's physical characteristics, part of an effort the bureau says will better identify criminals and terrorists.
The FBI will use eye scans, combined with other data, to help identify suspects. Here's the rub: You don't have to be a criminal or a terrorist to be checked against the database.
A 63 year old London market trader, Janet Devers, is the UK’s latest Metric Martyr. She has been prosecuted by Hackney Council for the heinous crime of selling fruit in pounds and ounces. In Big Brother Britain, our few freedoms are fast diminishing as EU rules demand uniformity across the continent - and then the world.
Barack Obama talks such nonsense about the Middle East one wonders if he could find it on the map. Here is his latest example of oddball "thinking." It involves cutting Israel into two parts. Perhaps someone should explain - using simple words - that there already is a "Palestinian" state. It's called Jordan.
The British government's refusal to permit the people to have their say on whether or not to sign over their national sovereignty to an imperialist European superstate is entirely undemocratic.
In fact, it borders on being the exact opposite of democratic government. It is rule by diktat. An interesting comment on the Brown government, from a paper in New England.
It does not matter to a tinker's dam whether it is Giuliani, McCain, Huckabee, or Romney who wins the election this November. The man behind the curtain will still produce his smoke and mirrors and create more fear and panic over any and every convenient distraction in the hopes that the Munchkins will not wake up in time to realize that the one who needs to be feared (and fought) is none other than the man behind the curtain.
Montana governor Brian Schweitzer (D) declared independence Friday from federal identification rules and called on governors of 17 other states to join him in forcing a showdown with the federal government which says it will not accept the driver's licenses of rebel states' citizens starting May 11.
Whether you are a prophecy student, a conspiracy theorist, or dabble in biblical numerology, it is interesting that in a debate on blasphemy a motion for the disestablishment of the Church of England was listed in the British House of Commons as 666 -- the Number of the Beast. Alan Franklin notes: I do not think the Church of England has much religious significance any more and will at some stage merge with the false church of Rome. And as times get darker Satanic influence will increase -for a while! But at least this incident focusses minds on prophecy.
THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
A 7-year plan aligns theU.S. with Europe's economy; rules, regs are to be integrated without congressional review. People say this is all in the conspiracy theorists' imaginations. Unfortunately, as this great comment reveals, it is all too true. The world really is fast coming together, all set for the coming world leader!
The British Government has confirmed that contrary to popular belief, traditional tungsten light bulbs are not going to be banned from 2011. Another example of poor reporting by the national press, which has created the exact opposite impression.
Real ID is postponed for 5 years
But starting this May, US states resisting the law will be penalized: Their drivers' licenses won't be valid for air travel. This is how big brother central government will gradually force everyone to carry an electronic identification tag, meaning the abandonment of privacy. It's another step towards the Mark of The Beast, a chip implanted in the body, as predicted in the Book of Revelation.
This famous quote was from British statesman Edmund Burke, who was born JANUARY 12, 1729.
The so-called "right wing" Fox News is only "fair and balanced" as long as you fit their agenda. Ron Paul doesn't - so they blank him. Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno before the New Hampshire primary, presidential hopeful Paul said he still doesn’t know why he was excluded from Fox News’ Sunday night Republican debate.
The President of America's secret "shadow government," the one with the real power, is Richard Haass, of The Council on Foreign Relations, the Rockefeller-funded and founded group of high level powerbrokers plotting to do away with the nation state. Here is some evidence - in an article Haass wrote.For 350 years, sovereignty -- the notion that states are the central actors on the world stage and that governments are essentially free to do what they want within their own territory but not within the territory of other states -- has provided the organizing principle of international relations. The time has come to rethink this notion.
In July, a Hindu opened the U.S. Senate with a Hindu prayer.This same man is opening in prayer at state senates in many places. (This was reported at the time on this site.) The first Muslim imam delivered a prayer for the U.S. House of Representatives, even though he is on record saying, "Take my word--if 6-8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us." America- like Britain- is whoring after foreign, false gods, and will reap the whirlwind.
According to today's Republican Presidential candidates (with the exception of Ron Paul), patriotism demands that we click our heels to the Department of Homeland Security and that we enthusiastically support aggressive, preemptive war. This is exactly the kind of redefinition of patriotism used so brilliantly by Hitler and his fellow propagandists.
America's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is going after a Salvation Army thrift store BECAUSE IT REQUIRED EMPLOYEES TO SPEAK ENGLISH ON THE JOB! The store even gave everyone a year to learn English. Two refused and were fired. Now Uncle Sam is sueing them.

What should you tell your kids about 'Santa'? I told our daughter Annie the truth when she was about four years old and she seems to have survived the experience. Take heart, dear parents, and start being honest with your kids! It's not going to kill them, and God will honour it. We are making fools of ourselves and duping our children, causing them to believe a lie. It's time we all grew up. Please read on and see what happened when Annie asked me if 'Santa' was real.
While, of course, Israeli security measures have a negative impact on Palestinians, isn't it about time that The Guardian and BBC added some much-needed context to the story and stopped absolving Palestinians from all responsibility for the situation?
America's Founding Fathers insisted upon including the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights because they recognized the fundamental human right of self-defense, whether against government tyranny or individual criminal aggression. Now a small town in Ariizona has decided you can submit to crime - or fight back. The right to self defense still applies. OPINION from the Center for Individual Freedom.
Most of us are aware that the heroic actions of a brave woman at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado a few days ago saved the lives of perhaps scores, or even hundreds, of people. However, her bravery would not have counted for much had she not been armed. In Britain citizens are at the mercy of thugs and murderers - but Americans still have the freedom of self defence. Some facts to make you think.
I was asked by a friend with an American ministry what I thought of former British Prime Minister Blair's comments that if he had "come out" as a religious person while in office he would have been branded a "nutter." Stinking hypocrite more like, giving his odious, pro abortion, pro homosexual agenda. Here are my e-mail comments to my friend.
The time has come to realise that the whole eurosceptic movement has failed to awaken any determined opposition to the EU project. Prime Minister Brown is signing up to the treaty that creates a fully fledged constitution of the new nation state of Europe. Not enough of us have fought this and the battle seems lost. This is the dawn of the Revived Roman Empire!
People often say to me "oh we can't say that," when referring to something in religious circles with which they disagree. They are mostly wrong. We can still say a great deal, still be critical of belief systems PROVIDED we do not deliberately stir up trouble or violence against individuals on grounds of race or religion. As Christians we would do no such thing, so we will continue to say what we think. Here's part of an e-mail in which I explained this further....
Dripping wet Socialist noodle Lord Goldsmith, Britain's former attorney general now leading Prime Minister Gordon Brown's "Makes You Proud To Be British" committee, wants the National Anthem rewritten.
He says the traditional version is not "inclusive" and particularly objects to verse six (did you know there was a verse six?) containing the line: "Rebellious Scots to crush." But there is an alternative.....
Back in August 2007, the Palestinian Authority (PA), Prime Minister Olmert’s “partner in peace,” named a soccer tournament after Ziyad Da’as, a Fatah-Tanzim terrorist who had been eliminated by Israel exactly five years earlier. The Palestinian Da’as was responsible for the heroic January 2002 attack in which gunmen opened fire with an M-16 at a Bat Mitzvah in Hadera, murdering six and seriously wounding thirty.
Do western institutions want to snuggle up with Saudi Arabia and its Dark Age values? They had better think this one through as a tidal wave of money from Saudi Arabia — as well as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait — is crashing into our shores and buying up assets in our democracies.They should expect no free lunches.
Israel wants peace. The Arab states want Israel. That's why the so-called "peace process" is a dialogue of the deaf. Here's the TRUTH about the real intention of the so-called "Palestinians" - in their own words. To wipe Israel off the world's maps (it already fails to feature on Islamic maps)!
When I warn about the coming North American Union, the unifying of Mexico with the USA and Canada, the date of 2010 is one I highlight - drawn from various sources. Now another journalist, working independently, has come to an identical conclusion. Here is his remarkable report. Meanwhile, you need to get our book Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain to find out what is going on. They make great presents for the unsaved!
Here's some comments on the world situation from my old friend Warren, in New England, and me in "old" England. Our e-interchange covers the state of society, the need for prayer, and the leadership of our nations. Alan Franklin.
Was this the week that the wheels finally came off what was once considered a Rolls-Royce among institutions, the British Civil Service?
Once capable of running half the world with a tenth of its current manpower, it is now depicted as a rusting wreck, propped up on bricks, awaiting the scrapyard. Another chapter is the fast decline of what was once Great Britain. So that's what happens when you relegate Christianity to "just another belief system."
Dying NOVEMBER 24, 1572, John Knox stated: "A man with God is always in the majority." American Minute with Bill Federer.
It is hard to imagine that President Bush, whose intentions appear to be to dismantle Israel, could be the same person who, early in his presidency, viewed Israel from the air. When he saw the 9-mile strip that a proposed Palestinian state would leave Israel with, he humorously exclaimed, There are driveways in Texas longer than that!
Palestinians have made a specialty of murdering civilians, yet still wish to portray Israel as a sponsor of terrorism. They have found an effective method: deliberately putting their own civilians, even their children, in mortal danger.
Ethanol, the gasoline substitute made from things like corn, is a financial and practical disaster. It is losing money for the mugs who invested in it (including Bill Gates.) It has driven up food prices round the world, as corn and other foodstuffs were bought to turn into ethanol. George Bush mandated its use and backed it, so you knew it had to be a silly idea. And boy, was it ever. This is part of a report from today's Bloomberg News, where you can read the rest of the story.
I send out a great many e-mails, often answering specific queries. Some of this material is of general interest so, suitably edited, I am putting some extracts from recent e-mails on this page, for a wider audience. Today's comments range from the global green scam to witnessing to Jewish people. Here we go....
Just as the slaughter in Iraq is the defining image of Tony Blair's time at the top, so the crumbling of Northern Rock is fast becoming a perfect allegory for the disintegration of Gordon Brown's political authority. It is a tale of management arrogance, administrative incompetence, a cavalier disregard for other people's money and counter-productive spin.
Exercising its perpetual itch to legislate, the EU commission brought its latest venture into the darker realms of bureaucracy before the toy parliament in Strasbourg recently - none other than the draft Soils Directive. (Or should that read "daft" -Ed ?)
Today Senate Democrats, the RINOs, and -- yes -- the President of the United States - are ready to hand over America's national sovereignty to the third-world-controlled United Nations -- as if U.S. sovereignty were nothing more than an old coat you'd give to the Salvation Army.
An estimated 400,000 long-term migrants left the UK in 2006. This was the highest recorded level of emigration since TIM began and was 41,000 higher than the 2005 estimate. Just over half of these emigrants (207,000) were British citizens.
In 1994, Congress passed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) making the United States a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It was then that I realized a great evil had our government within its grip and began my campaign to wake Americans up to the dangers and threat we faced. At the time nobody, save a precious few, wanted to hear anything I had to say.
Here’s chapter and verse of just HOW the EU has succeeded in stitching us all up with the constitution “that dare not speak its name” and is fast creating the superstate. Valéry Giscard d’Estaing wrote the original so he should lnow better than most. I am sorry to see the Czechs falling into line - the French socialists are a broken reed.
If the United States government had listened to Ron Paul, we would not have lost nearly 4,000 American soldiers and Marines, spent over $1 trillion, and gotten bogged down in an endless civil war from which there is no equitable extraction. Furthermore, had we listened to Dr.
Paul, Osama bin Laden would no doubt be dead, as would most of his al-Qaeda operatives, and we would be less vulnerable to future terrorist attacks, instead of being more vulnerable, which is the case today.
Immigrants can choose from a confusing range of 73 Government schemes allowing them to live and work in Britain. The full array of legal routes for non-European migrants can be revealed for the first time today in a list disclosed by the Home Office.
Daniel Webster is regarded as perhaps America's most notable jurist.
Webster said, "Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6000 years may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world."
No matter who wins the US presidency, the Rockefeller interests, the Trilateral Commission, which David Rockefeller founded, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Royal Institute on Foreign Affairs will have had a hand in the selection of the candidates All these world government advocates are well represented. Members of the CFR are listed by going to Google and typing in “Council Foreign Relations 2006 Membership.”
One prosecutor, one legal system, one police force, one army - one Euro dictatorship! You see the way the tide is flowing in the EU superstate. I have been saying all this for years and now it is fast taking shape before your eyes- for those with eyes to see. ALAN FRANKLIN.
The Biased Broadcasting Organisation - which pumps leftie, anti Christian, anti Israel propaganda round the world - has once again been PROVED to be a hotbed of lefties. Staff at the BBC - paid for by British taxpayers - are eleven times more likely to be "liberal"than "conservative." Who says so? THEY do! Another telling blow against this awful organisation.
When I (Alan Franklin) speak at Bosham Village Hall, Sussex, at an all day teaching session on November 10, this will be one of my main themes. The coming Russian invasion of the Middle East. If you want to know what happens next- read the Bible! Also read this excellent article on one of the next major end times events.
What does it mean to teach religion, or to teach “about religion” in public schools? Since the education establishment is totally committed to transformational education (changing the beliefs, attitudes and values of the child), teaching religion, or teaching about religion, in public schools really means shaping the child’s beliefs, attitudes and values about religion. Another reason for home schooling!
By 2031, the population of Great Britain will be over 70 million says the government's statistics office. The increase will be 90 per cent due to immigration. These numbers are alarming. British schools and hospitals are already struggling and there are too few affordable homes for native-born Brits to buy or rent.
The controversy over whether the EU treaty is really a constitution by another name misses the point. This is not an argument about Europe's constitution; it is about ours.
Removing Britain from our entrapment in the process of ever closer (European) union is of huge benefit to us as a nation. But it is also of great benefit to those who aspire to build a federal Europe. By removing our awkward squaddishness from their processes, we would allow them to proceed at their own speed towards that goal. We should wish them luck, if that is their chosen destiny as nations. Some interesting ideas on a future for Britain OUTSIDE of the superstate....
Tremble for America, for God will surely judge it severely after this fiasco! Palestinian officials who met with visiting US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Sunday said they received assurances that the Bush Administration will pressure Israel to make sure Jerusalem is divided as part of an Israeli-Palestinian final status peace agreement. But the land is God given to the Jewish people forever - and woe betide America or any other country that tries to forestall God's divine purpose!
The top British Government weapons expert, Dr David Kelly, was assassinated, an MP claims. Campaigning politician Norman Baker believes Dr Kelly, who exposed the Government's "sexed-up" Iraq dossier, was killed to stop him making further revelations about the lies that took Britain to war. The very odd death of Dr Kelly, from an alleged wound which could not have killed him, shut up a man who told the truth about the "weapons of mass delusion" on the basis of which the USA and Britain went to war.
Two years ago the Bruges Group predicted the path of the EU treaty and warned of the consequences of railroading integration on Britain. Now the Bruges Group looks at what will happen next. And how Britain can finally resolve the EU question and become a good neighbour to the continent, rather than being an overcharged lodger.
I am personally convinced that, by and large, the churches of America (regardless of denomination) are in a state of apostasy. And as such, offer little or no resistance to the men of sin who seek to seduce and deceive our people. So says Pastor Chuck, a man of like spirit to our own (Alan and Pat.) The churches of Britain are, if anything, in an even more pathetic state. When the so-called "national" church, the fast failing C of E, ordains homosexuals, "baptises" babies, has women preachers and even has services to bless puppies, then no wonder the nation is heading down the spiritual plughole.
President Bush is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the death penalty of an illegal Mexican alien convicted of brutally raping and murdering two Houston, Texas teenagers back in 1993. However, what Bush is really doing is working to appease his elitist Mexican counterparts so they together can implement their New World Order agenda. I don't know about anyone else, but it makes me want to puke.
Just as in America, control of borders is rapidly ceasing to exist in Britain. This is part of the plan for the fast approaching world government, detailed in our book, Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain, available from this site. Here the Bruges Group's Robert Oulds reveals the full extent of the Blair/Brown treachery in selling out Britain. They should be on trial for high treason! ALAN FRANKLIN.
The left wants to shut down talk show hosts Rush and Hannity and every other conservative talk-radio program in America. The First Amendment to some of these (so- called liberals) appears to be nothing more than an annoyance that stands between them and absolute power! And, in their minds, it MUST be done away with!
This is a familiar tale and one I experienced as a journalist for 42 years. The so-called liberals are anything but when you challenge their dominance of the media. Time for action, readers! AF
Bush: All religions pray to 'same God'
'That's what I believe. I believe Islam is a great religion that preaches peace' Once again President Bush reveals the staggering depths of his ignorance. So much for him being a "born again Christian"! Is he not aware that Islam denies God has a Son? Read on and weep.....
Here we have, from the Bruges Group, the first analysis of what the text of the "revised" superstate constitution actually says. It is much worse than anticipated and completely makes a nonsense of Blair and Brown's vaunted "red lines. Our country is in mortal peril - time to wake up!
Millions of Iranians attended nationwide rallies in support of the so-called "Palestinians," while the country's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Israel's continued existence was an "insult to human dignity." This story has been on this site on the J Post news ticker at the top of the page, but here it is for those who don't always watch the tickers.
Islamic authorities at the Temple Mount have done unauthorized excavations. Cellphone camera footage broadcast on Israel's Channel 2 showed a trench in the floor of the comple. Deep within the trench an ancient decorated wall was visible, a wall experts suspect may have been part of the outer courts of the ancient Jewish temple.
In preparing the way to a one-world government, all kinds of spurious or overblown scare tactics, like non existent "climate change", are being used. Furthermore, those who step out of line and demand a debate are, it seems rapidly squelched. Here's some evidence... By the way, does anyone recall EVER hearing the anti global warming viewpoint on the BBC? ALAN FRANKLIN.
America lost a fearless champion of freedom with the recent death of. Aaron Russo. Remembered as a businessman, film maker, independent political figure and proponent of tax and monetary reform, he was best known for his documentary movie, America; Freedom to Fascism.
Wake up Britain! Our proud nation faces the greatest threat as an independent sovereign state since the dark days of World War II.
We won that titanic struggle against the roaring guns of Nazi Germany. But we risk losing an equally crucial battle without a shot fired or a voice raised. Unless we start that fight today, Gordon Brown will sign and ratify the EU Constitution — the blueprint for a United States of Europe. Great comment from Britain's Sun newspaper - part of Rupert Murdoch's stable.
Syria had been planning a "devastating surprise" for Israel, according to an Israeli source quoted in the London-based Sunday Times. The report also claimed that Israeli ground forces were involved in an Israel Air Force air raid against a Syrian installation, which foreign sources described as a nuclear facility.
The "United States of Europe" is being created before your eyes. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown pretends this is not so. Brown's deceit is that European Union "Reform Treaty is barely distinguishable in its contents from the previously proposed "Constitution", which French and Dutch voters chucked out two years ago. No other EU leader tries to hide the fact that the two documents are, as Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker put it, "99 percent the same".
Top Islamic scholar Justice Muhammad Taqi Usmani says Muslims should live peacefully in countries such as Britain, where they have the freedom to practise Islam, only until they gain enough power to engage in battle. His views explode the myth that the creed of offensive, expansionist jihad represents a distortion of traditional Islamic thinking.
I have been saying this for a long time - now here is a brilliant comment by Phyllis Schlafly that backs up everything I speak about at conferences and in our book, Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain. The self government of the USA is in peril! Time to wake up and take action - ALAN FRANKLIN.
The dictatorial EU superstate, which sparked the prosecution of small traders in Britain for daring to sell fruit by the pound- Imperial measure-has backed down for fear of yet further unpopularity. We now get to keep our mile amd pint -well, thanks a lot!
We missed a huge opportunity when, in July, commission presidente Barroso declared that the EU was the first "non-imperial" empire. That should have cued the immediate response, that it was therefore, the first "Metric empire" – which indeed is its aspiration.
What, you mean Fox News didn't tell you this? The greatest affront to God, and something which puts the US at great risk of judgement, is to allow false gods to be worshipped in the nation's seat of power.Water from the (usually filthy) Ganges was even sprinkled round the Senate! Read this amazing story- and ask your Senator why he stood idly by and said nothing! You could also ask your local media why they stay silent.
On average the member countries of EFTA (the European Free Trade Association, comprising Switzerland, Norway and Iceland which remain outside the EU) are twice as prosperous (measured by GDP per capita) according to a briefing paper from Global Britain.
A judge in the Belfast High Court has quashed laws which threatened the religious freedom of Christians. Mr Justice Weatherup struck down the 'harassment' provisions of the Northern Ireland sexual orientation regulations. This means Christians cannot be sued for expressing their opposition to homosexual practice.
This is an interesting take on the most watched society in the world - Britain, by an Australian reporter in London. From the room where I am writing this comment I (Alan Franklin) can see a bank of cameras on a pole , with the ability to peer right into my house. This report reveals the latest trend - microphones to secretly pick up your street conversations!
FACT; Britain is no longer an independent nation. America be warned- you are going the same way! Here is a comment on the EU 's total control of Britain. When we are told that "the government" plans to introduce compulsory water metering, we are not told that the government proposing this is the EU - any more than that the reason our ministers cannot scrap their absurd Home Information Packs is because this would put them in breach of directive 2002/01 on the "energy performance of buildings", issued by the EU to combat global warming
American cities are held hostage by foreign gangs who rob, pillage and murder -- almost at will. Local officials, afraid to cross them, defy federal law because they have no choice. And the U.S. Department of Justice does nothing....But YOU can do something!
We are back in England from our travels attending two major Bible prophecy conferences in the USA. There were many highlights and several great men spoke on important topics. I will probably be sharing a lot of what they said at some stage, but just now I would like to introduce you to a couple who sat at the back and went pretty much unnoticed. Their names are Herbert and Mary Ruth Haines and I reckon they will shine like stars when the Lord returns and hands out His rewards for service.
We live in perilous times. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but there are thousands of nuclear missiles in far more dangerous countries including China and Russia. Our safety and affluence could go up in smoke (radioactive smoke) tonight. But there is an even greater danger, a more perilous threat hanging over each one of us...
Is America doomed? It begins to look like it, from fiscal irresponsibility alone. The figures for US debt are the so bad there is no possible recovery. The mortgage meltdown is just the beginning, in my opinion (Alan Franklin). Furthermore, the US government is on a ‘burning platform’ of unsustainable policies and practices with fiscal deficits, chronic healthcare underfunding, immigration and overseas military commitments threatening a crisis if action is not taken soon, the country’s top government inspector has warned. Action to cut deficits with an election looming? Why bother, when you can always blame "helicopter" Ben Barnanke.
Of course the bias of the BBC is now acknowledged but actually lying is something else on top of that !They think they can continue to get away with it as they have so far. The day of reckoning will come and we must hope that all these Labour apparatchiks paid by the viewers will get the sack.
Do you believe that gasoline should cost $8.00 per gallon? What if it cost $100 to fill up your car? Do you think gasoline should be so expensive that only rich people can afford to drive on a daily basis?
Are we talking about some far-fetched apocalyptic fantasy?
Nope! We're talking about REALITY! We're talking about the world as it is TODAY for many people in Western Europe.
British withdrawl from the EU is coming into sharper focus, with all the grave consequences that will ensue for the Atlantic order and the cause of market liberalism. (Alan Franklin adds: By withdrawing we may just save our country and its independent future, of course - but there would clearly be tremors on the way. We are deep in the EU mire at present.)
Free republics are not known to have long life expectancies. At the ripe old age of two hundred and thirty-one, America is definitely showing her age. She is long past her prime, and some are predicting her demise. No, some are PLANNING her demise.
The preachers of America are being asked to help promote tyranny! Now they are going to have to choose between defending liberty - or being propaganda mouthpieces for the government. Another hard-hitting comment from Chuck Baldwin.
The question now is, "How long can we maintain our nation's independence?" The forces of global government seem to dominate both major parties in Washington, D.C., most corporate boardrooms, and most newsrooms (including the Fox News Channel). For the amazing details of how the USA is being merged with Mexico and Canada - just for starters - read our book, Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain, available from our web shop on this site.
Have you heard of the Georgia Guidestones? This is seriously scary. They form a massive stone monument in Elberton, Georgia, inscribed with 10 commandments or rules, the first of which is that the earth's population should be reduced to 500,000 people. This would mean that 11 out of every 12 of us are expendable!
ALAN FRANKLIN writes : Critics say people like me are having fantasies when we say America is giving away its sovereignty, so read all about the summit that Bush and the Mexican and Canadian leaders have been holding in Canada this week. That's right, they've been talking about merging their nations,to all intents and purposes. It's all in our book, Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain, available from this site. Now read this powerful article.
German Elmar Brok, a centre-Right MEP and close ally of Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, effectively told Britain to sign up to the EU treaty or consider pulling out of the EU. This would be wonderful but, of course, we won't do it - and it is virtually impossible to leave the superstate anyway. Latest news on the plan to merge Europe iunto one sinister superstate
Today we have a Labour government that may be no good at running a child support system, is unable to keep a grip on the costs of the Olympics and is in denial about the impact tax and regulation have had on our pension funds, but it still does a mean job when it comes to controlling the news agenda. It is backed to the hilt by leftie journalists at the vile BBC - a broadcasting organisation about as impartial as Pravda used to be !- AF
The following senators voted against (32D, 1R, 1Ind) making English the official language of America. Find out who are the traitors in our midst.
Alan Franklin is currently speaking in America about the North American Union - designed to be an exact replica of the European Union. It's all in the book Alan and Pat have written, called Goodbye Britain, Goodbye America, available from our webshop. Now read the latest on the sellout of the USA by traitors and carpetbaggers....
The question is, what will people who believe in our fathers' America do?
Our pilgrim fathers fled the New World Order in Europe and founded this great nation. Our patriot fathers fought a war of revolution against the New World Order on our soil and won our nation's freedom and independence. So, what will we do?
The extremists committed to the man-made global warming theory - that humans are causing the world to get hotter and that we have to drastically raise taxes and/or ration energy in response - are on the run. How else does one explain the sensational Newsweek cover story with the provocative headline, "Global Warming is a Hoax,*" over a photo of a boiling sun?

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 9 — At least 20,000 police surveillance cameras are being installed along streets here in southern China and will soon be guided by sophisticated computer software from an American-financed company to recognize automatically the faces of police suspects and detect unusual activity. ALAN FRANKLIN adds: They have a long way to go to catch up with Britain, where we have one spy camera for every 12 citizens, including children! Three are across from the Franklin home, peering in my windows as I type.
Doesn't every ethnic group in the world take it into their heads, once in a while, to lob suicide bombing kidnapped airplanes at skyscrapers? And of course, in Paris and New York and even in Tel Aviv and Moscow, it is clear that once in a while the powers that be decide to wipe out the opposition...
As they sat on the concrete benches in the forbidding "special" unit of Paddington Green police station, the five Englishmen considered the charges against them and how they had got there.
They were being treated little better than terrorists - but perhaps that's how they were genuinely perceived by the Belgian and Greek police who had arrested them. This is a terrifying glimpse into the possible future as Britain slides down the maw of the sinister Eurosuperstate. Wake up, citizens! Freedom is glugging down the plughole.
The European Union finally wishes to set itself up as the supreme government of Britain and 26 other countries, with unlimited powers over every aspect of our lives: a government we cannot dismiss and which is unaccountable. It is nothing less than a complete coup d'etat.
Britain’s seat at the UN Security Council will eventually be handed to the European Union, Lord Malloch Brown, the Foreign Office Minister, has suggested.
Can it really be possible that Americans are witnessing a governmental program designed to merge – slowly but surely – the United States, Mexico and Canada? This was the main subject of my talk at a Steeling The Mind conference. Aware that many people think this idea is a fable, Pat and I spent hundreds of hours researching- and came up with fact after fact that proves this is no figment of a conspiracy theorist's nightmare. Much info is in our book, Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain, which sold out at the conference. Here's another take on the theme, with lots more back-up.
"Young people get it. They don’t expect the government to provide for their health care or their retirement. They don’t expect the government to give them jobs. To young people, the idea of liberty makes sense.” Here's Ron Paul, showing why he is far and away the best man for President of the USA.
I am reluctant to write this article. On the one hand, I know that rightist extremists are going to exploit the sad facts for their own ends. On the other hand, the anti-"Zionists" will quote what I write here (out of context as usual) as proof of "Jewish Zionist Islamophobia." Alan Franklin adds: A glance at the English translations of many Arab papers often reveals frothing at the mouth hatred of "the Zionist entity." None of this is factual or logical, but it is getting worse round the world- a clear sign we are in the end times....
The Radio 4 Today programme is so biased in favour of the European Union that only one in five interviewees is a Eurosceptic. it is biased today, biased tomorrow and biased the whole time, like the rest of the whole, rotten corporation. The real disgrace is that we are forced to pay for this enemy propaganda!
Most people in North America have never heard of the planned North American Union, which involves merging many of the institutions of the USA, Mexico and Canada, effectively opening the borders and then moving on to absorb more countries, as a mirror image of |
