+You wrote some very interesting articles. It is the UN.

        if you want a real scare, read the UN "world constitution" on
    human rights and privacy --their idea of a Bill of Rights.  It just
    happens that it is virtually word for word equivalent to the 
    mainland Chinese "rights"  -in other words: rights as long as they 
    are consistent with the aims of the state (UN) and the security 
    needs of the state at the given moment.

        ...and the UN is to be granted overall sovereignity by virtue 
    of the right to unilateraly tax its 'member' states, and not 
    necessarily in an equitable fashion.

        to put it in context, it is clearly the havenots reducing 
    everyone to the status of havenot; there will be no others. this, 
    of course, will eventually give way to tribal governments and the 
    cycle will start over after the population is reduced by its own 
    pollution and starvation to a new balance with nature.  disease, 
    more than starvation, will be the biggest killer.  men will be too 
    hungry, and too sick, to fight until it stabilizes.

        there will be exceptions, of course, but they will lack 
    sufficient power to extend their sphere of influence before they 
    are overrun by the mass, or destroyed by chemical and germ warfare 
    in the last gasp. 

        the meaning of the 144,000 becomes more clear...

+Read Revelations (if you haven't). 
    
        have more than several textbooks on it, and have taught classes 
    on Revelation. 

        however, I strongly believe the interpretations are still 
    'every man for himself' --presuming, of course, the propounder has 
    at least the prerequisite grounding and understanding in the 
    fundamental concepts, starting with John the Revelator, who 
    never died, and why portions of the book are sealed. 

        the best general reference on symbology, at least of what I 
    have seen so far:

        Opening the Seven Seals
            (The Visions of John the Revelator)

        Richard D. Draper
        Desert Books, Salt Lake City
        ISBN 087579-547-1, SKU 2142298     
    

+Maybe put some scriptures on cypherpunks.

    casting pearls before swine?

+Happy Armageddon.

Very soon humans will not have any purpose in life but to replicate
themselves. At least before the computer came along we kept ourselves
busy. But now we are getting computers to do the jobs that make up life.
We already precluded the need for math a long time ago.But know their are
spell checkers and even applications that check your spelling as you
write. I just saw on "The Site" how computers will be in shoes, in milk
cartons and in door mats. The human bodies salinity will act as a
conductor for the binary information. You pick up the milk carton which
then tells your your shoes that its not fresh. Then when your foot
touches the door mat in Publix it tells your watch to beep and say "You
DONT Got Milk" Then their will be that the floor in your apartment tells
the coffee pot to make coffee because it found a low caffeine level in
your body. You can shake hands with someone  and automatically transmit
their business card to the hard drive in your shoe. The pay phone will
know exactly who to bill the second the receiver is touched. But what if
I bump into you, now I have your business card. What if I steal your
shoe! Oh but dont worry, all this information will be ENCRYPTED.As we all
know once something is encrypted its perfectly safe.Yeah right, And Bill
Gates still uses a 310 baud modem. If someone really needs to know what's
on your shoeputer then they will set their 1586 700Mhz (or whatever they
have by then) do do just that. So what if it takes 2 weeks or 2 months.
They will have every single aspect of your life from your medical records
to credit card numbers to phone number(will they even USE phone numbers
by then) to your shoe size. But wait theirs more. If you haven't been
crawling through a cave for the past few months you will see that Intel
boasts that their chips will be able to perform 2 gigaflops or 2 billion
calculations per second.Can you imagine that. If you did one mathematical
calculation per second it would take you 31 thousand years. It did it in
a second, don't you feel dumb. Now imagine had one of these bad boys and
your shoes. How long would it take? Two hours, three or maybe, if its
really dragging, a day.Thats just the good old steal it and use it
technique. I don't even want to go into how people could intercept
information, copy it, or make their own.Well , I think I caused you
enough cranial burden for today, so remember technology is like drugs,
there are always more and they keep getting more effective but you do not
need them. They need you.

Wendy Wallace (I think) has written something about the 4 horsemen of
the Apocalypse, and they've been running excerpts in Paranoia magazine.
I really like Paranoia mag, check it out.

If you like heavy-duty scary symbology writing (can't vouch for the
exact content), check out Texe Marrs who has a recent book on the
subject (can't remember the title, but pictures of the symbols on
the cover, in paperback).
