A Gathering of Nations
By SHARON K. GILBERT
December 28, 2009
WHILE most of the world gathers to celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, or Kwanzaa, a different sort of gathering is taking place in the Gulf of Aden.
No, you won’t hear much about it on the cable networks, but the major world navies have enjoined to battle ‘piracy’ in the warm waters just off Yemen. Piracy in this region has escalated over the past six months or so, making shipping nearly impossible. What causes this to be our ‘top story’ is that China has ended a 500 year naval hermitage by sending two destroyers and a supply ship to the region. [Read more →]
NIC Report: Global Trends 2025 — Future Fact or Fiction?
By SHARON K. GILBERT
December 29, 2008
IT’S DIFFICULT TO KNOW how best to describe the most recent report coming out of the National Intelligence Council (NIC). On the one hand, this report goes directly to the movers and shakers who will shape our future through policy. On the other hand, it reads like a Hollywood treatment.
Maybe it’s the heavy use of graphics to demonstrate how the US will always remain the dominant world power, even in a future pool of global governance. [Read more →]

December 13, 2008

EUROPE HAS ALWAYS BEEN an ornament of the world and a blend of rich ethnicity, religions, styles and cultures. The land however is also fortified by centuries of blood spilled during ancient battles and feudal clashes. The gods and goddesses of Celtic, Gaul and Frankish myths are not entirely dissimilar from their relatives from distant times and lands, and the records of brutal bloodlust describe a proportional increase in numbers, albeit via increased sophistication of weaponry, contrary to “evolutionary” social progress.
The explanation of course, lies in the acknowledgement of two factors:
1) An existing ‘indwelling’ of hostile presences and
2) A fallen and susceptible humanity, coexisting with the latter unaware in great part, of the dominion and resolve of the former. [Read more →]
Flynn has deciphered Isaac Newton’s greatest discovery: None other than ‘the unified field theory’ of Bible prophecy.
By SHARON K. GILBERT
July 17, 2008
IF YOU’RE NOT familiar with David Flynn, then you must have spent the last five years living underneath a rock, or else you’re brand new to the internet. Either way, Flynn’s work has become standard reading for anyone attempting to reconcile Bible prophecy with UFOs and the ‘Face on Mars’. His ground-breaking book, Cydonia: The Secret Chronicles of Mars sold out long ago (if you’re lucky, you might find a used copy online). And I have no doubt that this one will follow suit (hint: order your copy today).
Derek and I are blessed to have one of the rare copies of Cydonia, and I’ve read it through, cover to cover a dozen times over. This being said, you can imagine how thrilled I was to learn David has turned his numerical acumen onto the very scriptures themselves — following in some very large footprints, those of renowned mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton. A note of caution to those who read this amazing work: Prepare to have your head explode. [Read more →]
