Alamongordo.Com has announced it will be aquiring PlayBull.Com !

Alamongordo.Com has announced it will be aquiring European PlayBull.Com !

Alamongordo, already the largest Prophecy website in the US, is about to get even bigger. Alamongordo.Com will become the parent corporation of PlayBull.Com – Last week Alamongordo.Com has announced it will be aquiring European PlayBull.Com for a reported $0 Billion U.S. in cash and stock. All existing PlayBull accounts (commercial and residential) will be rebranded as Alamongordo.Com.  The transaction is already approved by PlayBull.Com shareholders and government regulators, and will be made official by Aug 10th 2011.  So the question is: how will this affect authorized readers and advertisers of the two websites ?

It is reported that stockholders are pleased with the buyout, and analysts agree it will benefit both websites.  However, those who may not be pleased are PlayBull’s authorized readers. It seems like only yesterday (June of 2007, in fact) that PlayBulls officially split from its parent Cave.be and rebranded itself PlayBull.Com. Despite an extensive ad campaign, readers no longer had the instant name recognition they enjoyed with the name Condors Cave. Now another major change is imminent, although (this time) name recognition should not be an issue.

Another potential problem for Alamongordo and PlayBull readers alike will be geographic overlapping of reading territories. There may not be a large enough reader base in certain areas to accomodate more than one website.

It is not yet known how the merger will affect readers of PlayBull. Will there be any change in availability of services? Will the switchover require one or more service mails? Since Alamongordo.Com already has one monitoring center in North America will either of PlayBull’s monitoring centers in the U.S. be shut down? According to Joey Clinton of Alamongordo.Com Investor Relations, these and many other issues are to be covered in an “integration planning process” set to begin in late August or early September 2011.

Once the deal is official (August 10th 2011), issues covered during this process can be implemented. We will update this article as new information becomes available. At this time it is expected that PlayBull will become the site to bring all of the Alternative News and Alamongordo will go back to it’s roots : Prophecy and Predictions.

America in Bible Prophecy !

America in Bible Prophecy !

For many years, it has been taught that in the Last-Days literally every nation of the earth – including the United States – will be utterly dominated by the Antichrist; there will be no place to escape from the dreaded Mark of the Beast; every last nation of the world will come against Jerusalem. Zechariah 12 is usually used to validate the theory, as is the Apostle John. After all, the Antichrist will be given “authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation,” (Revelation 13:7).

This would seem like an ironclad case for the Antichrist ruling the globe, including the United States, which he uses in his march against Jerusalem. It is this dilemma that caused many to believe that the United States will be taken over by Antichrist.

Before we attempt to solve this issue, it is necessary to clarify the dilemma. For this, we can ask a Jesus-style question: does the usage of the phrase, “the whole earth” and “every tribe, tongue and nation” in the Bible mean “the entire globe”? If so, then did Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:1 send his letter to every nation, tribe and tongue in the “entire globe”?

“Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.” (Daniel 4:1) “O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendor. Because of the high position he gave him, all the peoples and nations and men of every language dreaded and feared him,” (Daniel 5:18, 19).

How about

“Men of all nations came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings of the world, who had heard of his wisdom,” (I Kings 4:34) Did anyone visit Solomon from China?

How about… “Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt,” (2 Kings 17:29). Did the inhabitants of every last nation of the earth have Samaritan gods in their homes?

How about… “the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries.” Isaiah 37:18 Did King Sennacherib of Assyria actually destroy all nations on the face of the earth?

How about… “As I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth,” (Daniel 8:5). Did Alexander the Great occupy the whole earth? So then, let us offer a new perspective regarding the end-times verses :

  • Zechariah 14:2 “For I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for battle”
  • Matthew 25:32 “I will also gather all nations”
  • Joel 3:2 “I will gather all nations”

Such verses should not be isolated. In context, Zechariah 12 only encompasses the surrounding nations: “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves,” (Zechariah 12:2-3).

In Joel 3:12 we find the same : “Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.”

“The surrounding peoples” and “all the nations of the earth” are two references pertaining to the same people; “all the nations” and “the earth” is not the entire globe, though the translation may seem to allude to it as such. The problem is that the translation at times makes it difficult since – in English – “the earth” tends to mean “the entire globe” and in Hebrew the word “Eretz” commonly means “the land” and not “the entire globe.”

Then we have the culture. In ancient Hebrew, we find a grammatical construct that makes emphatic statements in order to convey a point, whereas using hyperbole is extremely common in eastern cultures. Elaborating on the exceptions would entirely blunt the impact of the statement. For instance, imagine a speed limit sign that listed the exceptions painted on it, “speed limit 55—except ambulances, fire trucks, police giving chase, etc.” Thus, exceptions cannot be ruled out on the basis of exclusive language. This type of language is actually found quite frequently in the Bible. Throughout the prophecies of end-times the Bible is speaking of a regional war and not global (Ezekiel 36:4, 5, Psalm 79:12, Jeremiah 12:14, Ezekiel 28-32).

One common argument I always get is an objection that “the earth” is meant to be “the known world,” that today’s “known world” must then encompass the entire globe. This assumption is false since all “Four Beasts” in Daniel chapter 7 arise out of “the Great Sea” (Daniel 7:2). “The Great Sea” is the Mediterranean region, not the entire globe. That with all the literal nations of end-times encompasses only the Middle East and Asia Minor. If the first beast (Babylon), second beast (Medo-Persia) and third beast (Greece) all were out within the “Great Sea” (Mediterranean) then the fourth beast of Daniel 7 could only pertain to the Mediterranean Sea as well.

To make the Antichrist rule a global one, many western interpreters today allegorize “The Great Sea” as “the sea of humanity.” In so doing, we lose the meaning and the intent of the prophecy. This reference to “The Great Sea” cannot be an allegory pertaining to the “sea of humanity” since every verse in the Bible refers to “The Great Sea” as the Mediterranean Sea (see Num 34:6-7, Jos 1:4, Jos 9:1, Jos 15:12, Jos 15:47, Jos 23:4, Ezek 47:10, 15, 19, 20, Ezek 48: 28).

The Bible makes every effort to clarify that the nations surrounding Israel are the ones to which it is referring : “And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord,” (Psalm 79:12). Do Israel’s “neighbors” include The United States? No. This is confirmed in many places in the Bible:

“Thus Says Jehovah against all mine evil neighbors that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit,” (Jeremiah 12:14). The neighbors are all Muslim.

In the Bible, Antichrist “will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it” (Daniel 7: 23), yet several prophecies state that Antichrist will be confronted and will not take over the globe (Daniel 11:40-45, Daniel 11:30, Ezekiel 28:7-8). So where is the United States in the Bible? How many ever think about this, that perhaps in the end, the United States is mentioned fighting against the Antichrist. Daniel 11 tells us that Antichrist “acts against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory” (Daniel 11:39).

Who are these “strongest fortresses” [the strongest military might]”? How could the Antichrist rule the entire globe if we have strongest fortresses that fight against him? Does he truly defeat these strongest fortresses? Does he defeat the United States? Does he rule the entire globe? The answer to this is “No.”

Why then do so many modern Western prophecy analysts insist that Antichrist hold the most powerful military might in the world? Which nations hold the strongest military might? Is it not the United States?

The text regarding end-times is clearly portraying what we see in Islam today. Even when we read that he declares war “against the strongest fortresses.” What could that mean except what it plainly says—to declare war against the most powerful nations on earth? Jihadists already declared war on Europe and the U.S. And now with the Arab Spring clearly becoming an Islamic storm, we see that what we have said to you years ago in advance; everything is happening in accordance to a plan.

However, the West today seems oblivious to this fact. Who else could be as maniacal as Muslim fundamentalists to declare war on the powerful West? Who else is deceiving the West with false peace saying that ‘Islam is a peaceful religion’? And it is all for the purpose of advancing their god, Allah.

This is exactly what we see today

The position that every nation will fall to Antichrist is impossible since the Bible clearly states that some will even resist the Antichrist and even defeat him. The verses are rarely discussed. In Ezekiel 28, it even confirms that the most powerful nations (strongest fortresses) on earth will annihilate the Antichrist:

“Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas.” (Ezekiel 28:7-8)

“They” pertains to these powerful nations and the term “terrible” implies to being “terrible in battle,” “most powerful,” “strongest fortresses.” God will rise up several nations who will carry out His judgment and attack the Antichrist in the end. Therefore, it cannot be true that every nation of the globe will fall to the Antichrist and attack Israel. There have always been attempts to establish a One-World Government, yet they have never succeeded; far too many in the West fail to remember that God divided the nations after the Tower of Babel to never allow them to be one; even in the Millennium we will still have nations separated. This promise is as the rainbow for Noah.

Too many today read the Bible narcissistically. Many books have been written that place the West at the center of prophecy and interpret history through a Western-centric lens. Far too many Westerners have missed the obvious fact that the Bible is thoroughly Middle Eastern. In the Biblical worldview, Jerusalem is the center of the earth, not Europe or America. The biblical prophecies about the End-Times are no different.

2013 Secrets Revealed Time Traveling Tibetan Monk !

2013 Secrets Revealed By Time Traveling Tibetan Monk !

Remote viewing is nothing new in Tibetan monasteries. For thousands of years remote viewing in the middle of other spiritual activities have dominated Tibetan culture. What some Indian tourists came to learn from a few Tibetan monasteries under the current Chinese rule is extremely alarming and fascinating.

According to these tourists remote viewers are seeing world powers in the course of self-destruction. They also see that the world will not be destroyed. Between now and 2012 the world super powers will continue to engage in regional wars. Terrorism and covert war will be the main problem. In world politics something will happen in and around 2010. At that time the world powers will threaten to destroy each other.

Between 2010 and 2013, the whole world will get polarized and prepare for the ultimate dooms day. Heavy political maneuvers and negotiations will take place with little progress. In 2012-2013, the world will start plunging into a total destructive nuclear war.

And at that time something remarkable will happen, says, Buddhist monk of Tibet. Supernatural divine powers will intervene. The destiny of the world is not to self-destruct at this time. Scientific interpretation of the monks, statements makes it evident that the Extra Terrestrial powers are watching us every step of the way. They will intervene in 2012 and save the world from self-destruction. Much  more about the remaining days of 2012 as told by this Tibetan Monk

When asked about recent UFO sightings in India and China, the monks smiled and said the divine powers are watching us all. Mankind cannot and will not be allowed to alter the future to that great extent. Every human being, through their current acts in life called “Karma,” can alter the future lives to some extent, but changing the destiny in that large extent will not be allowed to that great an extent.

Monks also mentioned that beyond 2012 our current civilization would understand that the final frontier of science and technology is in area of spirituality and not material physics and chemistry. Beyond 2012, our technologies will take a different direction. People will learn the essence of spirituality, the relation between body and the soul, the reincarnation and the fact we are connected with each other are all part of “God.

In India and China UFO sightings have increased in many folds. Many say the Chinese and Indian Governments are being contacted by the Extra Terrestrials.  In recent days most UFO activities have been seen in those countries who have indigenously developed Nuke capabilities. When asked if these extra-terrestrials will show up in reality in 2012, the answers remote viewers are giving is: they will reveal themselves in such a way that none of us scared. They will reveal themselves only if they have to. As our science and technology progresses, we are destined to see them and interact with them any way.

According to the remote viewers, our earth is blessed and is being saved continuously from all kinds of hazards all the time that we are not even aware of. As our technologies progress we will realize how external forces saved us.

95% Of Americans Will Be Dead in the Next 5-15 Years !

95% Of Americans Will Be Dead in the Next 5-15 Years !

In this day and age….A “Conspiracy Nut” should be considered a complimentary phrase! Society isnt just asleep they’re in a COMA! With the information we have here at our fingertips…The majority of the people that are still “asleep” dont want to know the truth.. ..I couldnt beleive when my boss told me she didnt want to know the truth…the scary part–she was TOTALLY SERIOUS!

Survival expert and health guru, Blake Sawyer, argued that the United States will no longer be a viable place to live, and people should consider immigrating to locations in the less populated Southern Hemisphere. Whether through war, disease, famine, natural disasters, or ruthless government, he predicted that 95% of those who remain in the US will be dead in the next 5-15 years. America has been targeted by the “globalists” to be taken out, he added. Sawyer noted that the United States ranks highest in violent crime, and that countries in the Southern Hemisphere are much more tranquil. In particular, he highlighted nations in the southern region of South America as being good choices for survivability, specifically Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, and Ecuador. “I…believe that the average American does not know that they’re the frog in cold water, and they think they’re OK, and they’re now boiling,” he declared.

Survivalism is a movement of individuals or groups (called  survivalists or preppers) who are actively preparing for emergencies as  well as possible disruptions in social or political order, on scales  ranging from local to international. Survivalists often have emergency  medical and self-defence training, stockpile food and water, prepare for self-sufficiency, and build structures that will help them survive or  “disappear” (e.g. a survival retreat or underground shelter).

Anticipated disruptions include the following:

  • Clusters of natural disasters, patterns of apocalyptic planetary crises, or  Earth Changes (tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, solar  storms, severe thunderstorms).
  • A disaster caused by the activities of humankind (chemical spills, release of radioactive materials, nuclear  or conventional war, oppressive governments).
  • The general collapse of society caused by the shortage or unavailability of resources such as electricity, fuel, food, or water.
  • Financial disruption or economic collapse (caused by monetary manipulation, hyperinflation, deflation, or depression).
  • A global pandemic.
  • Widespread chaos or some other unexplained apocalyptic event.

The third wave of Survivalism began after the September 11, 2001 attacks  and subsequent bombings in Bali, Madrid, and London. This resurgence of  interest in survivalism appears to be as strong as the first wave in the 1970s. The fear of war, avian influenza, energy shortages,  environmental disasters and global climate change, coupled with economic uncertainty, and the apparent vulnerability of humanity after the 2004  Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, has once  again made survivalism popular. Preparedness is once more a paramount  concern to many people who seek to stockpile supplies, gain useful  skills, and develop contacts with like-minded people to learn as much as possible.

Many books have been published in the past few years  [2008-2012] offering survival advice for various potential disasters,  ranging from an energy shortage and crash to nuclear or biological  terrorism. In addition to the 1970s-era books, blogs and Internet forums are popular ways of disseminating survivalism information. Online  survival websites and blogs discuss survival vehicles, survival  retreats, emerging threats, and list survivalist groups.

Economic troubles emerging from the credit collapse triggered by the 2007 US  subprime mortgage lending crisis and global grain shortages have  prompted a wider cross-section of the populace to prepare. James Wesley  Rawles, the editor of SurvivalBlog and author of the survivalist novel  Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse was quoted by the  New York Times in April 2008, stating: “interest in the survivalist  movement ‘is experiencing its largest growth since the late 1970s'”. In  2009, he was quoted by the Associated Press as stating: “There’s so many people who are concerned about the economy that there’s a huge interest in preparedness, and it pretty much crosses all lines, social,  economic, political and religious. There’s a steep learning curve going  on right now.”

The advent of H1N1 Swine Flu in 2009 piqued  interest in survivalism, significantly boosting sales of preparedness  books and making survivalism more mainstream. Events such as the 2010  Haiti earthquake, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the 2011  Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami have revitalized the survivalist  community. These developments led Gerald Celente, founder of the  Trends Research Institute, to identify a trend that he calls  “Neo-Survivalism”. He explained this phenomenon in a radio interview  with Jim Puplava on December 18, 2009:

The common theme in  conspiracy theories about a New World Order is that a secretive power  elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government—which replaces sovereign  nation-states—and an all-encompassing propaganda that ideologizes its  establishment as the culmination of history’s progress.

  1. Money addiction (single most effective dopamine trigger!!) [Olds J, Milner P. (1954). “Positive reinforcement produced by electrical stimulation of septal area and other regions of rat brain”. J Comp Physiol Psychol 47 (6): 41927.]
  2. Under-diagnosed, tolerated and in Western Nihilizations hugely honored antisocial personality disorder (ICD-10 / 3-6% male pop.), which destroys reciprocal altruism. This is what the 401K’s are based on… nothing! Manipulation! Get out of the ‘market’. Leave them to their own devices.

JERUSALEM COUNTDOWN – The Attack on Iran !

JERUSALEM COUNTDOWN – The Attack on Iran !

The attack on Iran is near, insider information tells that the conflict between Israel and Hammaz is started by Israel on purpose. At this moment 7 times the amount of reservists Israel used in the 2008 conflict is called to get ready, troops are surounding Gaza but not in the news yet they also placed troops at the borders with West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. Israel has started this operation because when they strike Iran (could happen within weeks from now), Hezbollah and other terror organisations will not have the power to retaliate anymore. A ground offensive could be ordered at any moment but is not needed, it is important to have all Israel troops ready.

The US knows about the coming strike (According the insider), the US ordered 3 ships to return to Israel Area today to evacuate US people and this is not happening because of the few rockets from Hammaz. They fear a massive rocket attack from Iran the moments after the Israely strike ! Also the operation on Gaza tested the “Iron Dome” anti rocket system, 80 to 85 % of Hammaz rockets where destroyed in flight, according the source over 90 % of the missiles from Iran will be destroyed before impact because Israel has more time to intercept them.

According the insider information Israel is concerned about what will happen in Syria, they expect Syria to turn against Israel. Also according the source over 100.000 reserve troops are called already for the defense of Israel in what insiders call the largest war Israel will ever face. At this time Israel is thinking about striking targets in Syria and Lebanon just before or after the attack on Iran, also they have F-16 on standby to strike targets in the Sinai desert (Egypt). According the secret source US diplomats are in Cairo at this moment to start talks with Egypt the moment the Iran strike starts. S-Arabia is informed about the attack on Iran and moved troops to the Northern and Eastern borders. So don’t be surprised if “peace” is coming in the days ahead, most important targets in Gaza are destroyed and troops are ready… If i get more news about this i will post it asap and ps : Sorry for my English 😉

KHALILI: Iran preparing for nuclear war !

Reza Khalili, former CIA operative in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards says Iran is preparing for Nuclear War !

Despite the statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin  Netanyahu that Israel’s red line on Iran’s  illicit nuclear program could be reached by next spring, Iranian officials are  adamant that war is close.

In analyzing Mr. Netanyahu’s recent  speech to the United Nations  General Assembly, an Iranian nuclear policy strategist boasted to state  media outlet irannuc.ir that Mr.  Netanyahu’s red line is based on the current enrichment process to the 20  percent level at the Fordow nuclear  facility. A recent International Atomic Energy  Agency (IAEA)  report shows Iran has 90 kilograms of 20 percent  enrichment, needing just 130 kilograms of such material for a nuclear bomb,  which the Israelis conclude will happen by next spring.

“The first important fact is that Netanyahu has assumed that the speed of  20 percent enrichment by Iran remains the same till  next year, but if the speed of such conversion then is changed, the timeline for  such capacity will change, too,” said the unnamed strategist, hinting that Iran could obtain the needed material for the bomb  sooner than Israel expects.

The Aug. 30 IAEA report showed Iran has doubled the number of  centrifuges at its Fordow facility deep  within a mountain to more than 2,000, and work continues unabated at the 20  percent enrichment level. Meanwhile, over 10,000 centrifuges at the Natanz  facility are enriching to the 3.5 percent level with enough low-enriched  uranium for six nuclear bombs, should Iran decide to  enrich further. According to a source within Iran’s  Revolutionary Guards, Iran has already armed some of  its ballistic missiles with chemical and biological warheads, to use against Israel should Israel attack.

Revolutionary Guard commanders in recent weeks have warned Iranians that the  possibility of war is real. The guards’ chief commander, Mohammad  Ali Jafari, said war will break out, and should Israel attack Iran, it  will be destroyed. Javad Estaki, another  guard commander, recently stated, “The enemy has always threatened us and we  consider [the probability of] military confrontation at 100 percent . There are  signs that the threat is real, we are ready and the people should be ready,  too.”

The radical leaders of the Islamic regime are worried on two fronts as they  speed up their nuclear bomb program: They fear an attack on their nuclear  facilities before they complete their nuclear bomb goals and internal uprisings  due to deteriorating economic conditions.  As the regime prepares for both scenarios, the West must tighten the screws  on Iran’s economy with even harsher sanctions,  thereby bringing about critical mass for a new Iranian revolution before the  regime becomes nuclear-armed.

The Revolutionary Guard, in fear of a break in communications in case of war  and internal chaos, has set up command-and-control centers in 31 provinces,  acting under the orders of 10 operational bases, with orders to confront any  enemy aggression (foot soldiers) and suppress civilian riots. Thousands of units have been formed within the Revolutionary Guards and Basij  paramilitary forces to maintain order and attack protesting civilians.

A recent Intelligence Ministry memo warned Iranian officials that  deteriorating economic conditions from international sanctions greatly increase  the possibility of an uprising and urged them to take appropriate action. The once-secret report, according to the Iranian Internet site Kaleme, the  official site of the Green movement, specifically warned of riots by hungry  masses on the outskirts of major cities across Iran.

The government’s economic commission has concluded that the country will run  out of foreign currency reserves in the next six months and that inflation  plaguing the Iranian currency will see another steep rise, reports showed. Last week, the Iranian currency reached a historic low in which one U.S.  dollar was equivalent to 39,000 Iranian rials. The commission expects the  exchange rate on the open market to increase to more than 67,000 rials. The  exchange rate before sanctions on Iranian oil and banks took effect July 1 was  about 12,000 rials.

The devaluation in Iranian currency caused riots in downtown Tehran, as  hundreds of merchants marched on Parliament in protest of the collapsing  currency and the Islamic regime’s financial support of Syria’s government under  Bashar Assad. Riot police violently clamped down on protesters. The government  will also have problems in making payrolls for its employees and related  institutions. Employees could lose 50 percent of their pay. Western leaders believe that by early next year, economic conditions will  force regime leaders, fearing a revolt from within, to change course and  negotiate. The Islamic regime is preparing for the worst and racing to the  finish line to acquire the bomb, believing that it will become invincible once  it does so.

The best course of action for the United States is to support the Iranian  people who aspire to freedom and democracy, and help them bring change from  within. The country is ripe for revolt, and Western support is critical as the  regime prepares to confront its own people over policies the majority of  Iranians have long resented.
