CATASTROPHE

Recently, public television broadcasting aired a documentary that was designed to shock the average viewer with a scientific exploration of an event that changed the way of life back in 436 A.D.

Something catastrophic occurred back then that caused tree growth to be stunted for several years, evidenced by the undeniable record of the growth rings gathered from all parts of our globe.

David Keys, the author of the book “Catastrophe,” showed through scientific elimination based on factual evidence, that neither an asteroid nor a comet was responsible for the effects of the 436 A.D. event.

As the documentary unfolded, it became evident that the cause was volcanic and when the ice strata records of both poles was researched, the evidence of volcanic sulfate build-up was undeniable. Through painstaking research, Keys and his team uncovered the culprit: Krakatoa, a volcano situated between Java and Sumatra in the nation of Indonesia. It exploded in 436 and again, obliterating itself in 1883, giving birth to Anak Krakatoa (child of Krakatoa), a volcano as lethal as its parent.

Could it be that this little-known, yet lethal volcano, capable of changing the present civilization could be the harbinger that emanates into the prophesied "world crisis"— ?

I wonder.

In the documentary, evidence unearthed by Keys shows clearly that at that point in earth's history something of a radical nature occurred, sufficiently lethal so as to "dim the sun" with a dust veil that covered the whole globe for some time. Darkness, Drought and Famine resulted and was recorded from Europe to Asia and beyond.

The tree ring record shows clearly that virtually no growth occurred for some years. Severe frosts and crop failures were recorded by every regional authority back then. Was this the event that ushered in the "Dark Ages"? Were King Arthur and his kingdom ravaged by this catastrophe — which virtually ended evolutionary civilization for a millennium? Did the Renaissance of the second millennium see the eventual securing of Secular Totalitarianism?

Modern secularism, represented by the post-modern secular humanism, has been fostered by two worldwide influences. The father of secularism was the narrow-minded and godless attitude of nineteenth and twentieth century — so-called science — atheistic science.

The mother of modern and post-modern secularism was the totalitarian medieval Christian church. Secularism had its inception as a rising protest against the almost complete domination of Western civilization by the institutionalized Christian church of Rome.

By the mid part of last century, the prevailing intellectual and philosophical climate of both European and American life was decidedly secular-humanistic. For three hundred years, Western thinking had been progressively secularized. Religion has become more of a nominal influence, largely a ritualistic exercise that I will call post-modern "Churchianity.”

The majority of professed Christians of Western civilization are unwitting secularists.

It required a great power, a mighty influence, to free the thinking and living of the Western peoples from the withering grasp of a totalitarian ecclesiastical domination. Secularism did break the bonds of church control, but now, in turn, it threatens to establish a new and godless type of mastery over the hearts and minds of modern mankind. The tyrannical and dictatorial political state, based as it is on secular humanism, is the direct offspring of scientific materialism and philosophic secularism.

Secularism no sooner frees mankind from the domination of the institutionalized church (Churchianity), than it sells us into slavish bondage to the totalitarian state, as evidenced globally.

Secularism frees mankind from ecclesiastical slavery only to betray us into the tyranny of political and economic slavery.

The "Illuminists" of the transitional period of the 18th century seized upon this potential. Led by Meyer Rothschild and his "Central Bank" concept, one by one the civilized world's leaders betrayed generation after generation, until the whole world became corrupted by the virus of greed and power-lust — the handy work of the "Banksters". Of course, hand in glove with "fractional reserve lending" was the enslaving device of taxation. Hence the now evidenced totalitarian state.

Could it be that Anak Krakatoa will play a pivotal role in our near future destiny towards a better life — freed from the totalitarian state and the puppet-masters — the Banksters?

Behold, all things are becoming as new-the kingdom of God is at hand.
