Russia Is Preparing To Attack America
United States has not been attacked on the home front for 200
years dating back to the War of 1812. There exists a plethora of
confirming information to support the fact that America’s days may be
numbered and that we are totally unprepared for what is coming.
Russia, through the traitorous cooperation and complicity of President Obama, is positioning its assets in order to attack Alaska. Before I piece together the many elements of the planned Russian “surprise attack”, it is important for America to understand that it takes a communist to bring communism to America. Obama was bred by communists, raised by communists, educated at the finest schools with communist money, his political career was launched by communists and his controllers in the White House are communists. Part one of this series will clearly establish the fact that Obama is the lynchpin of a multigenerational plan to hand America over to the Russians and to the Chinese communists.
Obama did not just wake up one day and decide to weaken American defenses and hand over the country to the Russian communists. Obama was groomed for this position for the past several years. He is indeed the right communist, at the right time, whose mission is to bring America the most crippling form of communism the world has ever seen.
The high-ranking defector, Sergei Tretyakov, who repeatedly warned Americans that Russia’s core government had never abandoned the Cold War and still aimed to destroy the United States. In his later years, he said his main goal was to “wake up” the American people to the deadly threat posed to them by the former Soviet Union. His death was reported as a cardiac event, however, his family remains suspicious. Tretyakov joined a plethora of others who defected from the former Soviet Union in order to warn the American people about a planned attack sponsored by the Russian government with assistance from within the American government.
Former Soviet defector, Yuri Bezmenov, a well renowned media/propaganda expert defected to the United States. in 1970, and subsequently exposed the KGB’s subversive tactics against American society. Yuri Bezmenov has conducted a number of interviews in which he explains how Marxist ideology is deconstructing America’s values by controlling the media and which would ultimately serve to demoralize the country, destabilize the economy, and provoke crises in order to Sovietize the United States. Bezmenov is well known for revealing Russia’s doctrine of “ideological subversion”, a slow, long-term multi-decade process of media-based brainwashing in which the sole purpose is to confuse, confound, and destroy the moral base of America. Can anyone argue that our country’s values represent a debasement of our national sense of morality? Every perversion known to mankind in now honored in our media. Christians are out and hedonists are in. Loyal husbands and fathers are out and a philandering lifestyle is a honored “virtue.” On this point, the Russians have won.
Former Russian Colonel Stanislav Lunev has the distinction of being the highest ranking Russian military officer to defect to the United States after doing so in 1992, after Boris Yeltsin came to power. Lunev’s information was considered to be so volatile, but accurate, that the CIA, DIA, FBI, NSA placed Lunev, where he remains to this day, in the FBI’s Witness Protection Program. Lunev reported that Russia’s military, despite “losing the cold war”, continues in its war preparations which are designed to conquer the United States by stealth
Anatoliy Golitsyn, a high-ranking KGB defector who fled to the United States in order to warn Americans about the secret Russian plan to attack the United States. Golitsyn is generally considered to be among the first and most revealing on the subject of the secret Russian plans to attack. Having authored the The Perestroika Deception in which Golitsyn wrote about the deceitful intent behind the Leninist strategy in which the present-day Communists are actively pursuing as they fake American style democratization efforts in Russia. According to Golitsyn, the short-term strategic objective of the Russians is to achieve a technological convergence with the West solely on Russian terms and mostly through a series of one-sided disarmament agreements. According to Golitsyn, after the United States military is eliminated as a strategic threat to Russia, the long-range strategic Russian plan is to pursue Lenin’s goal of replacing nation states with collectivist model of regional governments as a stepping stone to global governance. In order to achieve their final goal, Golitsyn states that Russia, after lulling America to sleep, will join with China in order to attack the United States from both the outside and inside as he detailed that …the Soviets and the Chinese will be officially reconciled and enact a “scissors strategy” in which China will attack the US through the southern border and Russia through northern border by way of Alaska. As the reader will clearly see in the following paragraphs, Obama is the catalyst in making these long-range communist plans come to fruition.
Former FBI Weatherman Task Force supervisor, Max Noel, notes that the FBI utilized a CARL test when it conducted background checks on various suspects. The acronym CARL stands for Character, Associates, Reputation, and Loyalty used to assess candidates fitness to hold the highest office in the country. On each of these four points of power, Obama fails and fails miserably. Like many FBI law enforcement agents and officials, Noel was alarmed by the fact that someone like Barack Obama could capture the presidency. For some unexplained reason, Obama was never vetted before he became a candidate for the presidency by the FBI. This is an unacceptable result of our national security system and is wholly suggestive of internal plot to allow the installation of a blatantly communist advocate into the highest political position in America.
Today, many people have been in a position to now vet the President after Obama’s four years of “fundamentally transforming America“. This particular series will continue to connect the dots of the secretive and nefarious communist background of Barack Hussein Obama and tie his associations, actions and internal belief system to a current coup d’état which is close to capturing all of the vital elements of power in this country.
Comrade Obama’s ascension to the presidency has been a long time in the making. Interestingly, Barack Obama’s past associates especially the communist terrorists which funded his Harvard legal education and ultimately launched his political career as an Illinois state senator, namely, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, have been in lockstep with Obama his entire adult life. However, Dohrn and Ayers were not the first to indoctrinate Obama with the Marxist communist philosophy. For that information, we have to begin with Frank Marshall Davis.
Obama’s real father, Frank Marshall Davis, was a member of the Communist Party and a former Soviet Agent who was under FBI investigation for a total of 19 years. In 1948, Davis moved from Chicago to Hawaii leaving behind a colleague named Vernon Jarrett, father-in-law of Senior White House advisor, Valerie Jarrett. Yes, the Jarrett’s are communists as well. Both Jarrett and Davis wrote for a left wing newspaper called the Chicago Defender in which they espoused a communist takeover of the United States Government. In 1971, Davis, according to Joel Gilbert, reunited with his then nine-year-old son, Barack Obama, and schooled him in the ways of being a good communist for the next nine years.
White House advisers, David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett, were both “Red Diaper Babies, in which they were the sons and daughters of well-to-do parents who desired communism and lived out their dreams through their children’s revolutionary activities. Other notable red-diaper babies also included Rahm Emanuel and Eric Holder. Jarrett’s situation is particularly interesting in that her family and the Ayers family have been multigenerational friends which also included a marriage between the two families. Much of the Obama administration is a nest of communists and this should serve to gravely concern every American citizen.
Following the nine years of mentoring and parenting by Frank Davis, Obama made some very important communist connections which ultimately led to him obtaining an impressive college education financed by some very familiar communist activists’, namely, Tom Ayers, Con Ed CEO, and then his son Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. You remember Bill and Bernardine, don’t you?
The Prairie Fire book was co-authored by Dohrn and Ayers, and, quite unbelievably, it was dedicated to Sirhan Sirhan, Robert Kennedy’s assassin. Former FBI informant, While appearing on The Common Sense Show, Larry Grathwohl, revealed that he testified in a court of law that Ayers and Dohrn had direct involvement in a terrorist plot which killed San Francisco police sergeant, Brian V. McDonnell, by a bomb made and planted by these Weathermen Underground terrorists.
Grathwohl also revealed that he asked Ayers, in a meeting of about 25 well-to do Weatherman, most with advanced degrees from Ivy League Universities, what the Weathermen planned to do when they achieved their goal of a communist take over the government. Grathwohl stated that Ayers paused for a moment and then said that it was likely that about 50 million Americans will have to be re-educated in concentration camps located in the American Southwest and that about 25 million would have to be eliminated, meaning that they would have to be murdered. Bill and Bernardine’s Weather Underground had the support of Cuba, East German intelligence and the North Vietnamese. I believe that since Obama was able to secure a second term, and with the power granted to him by the NDAA, that he will fulfill Ayers’ promise to Grathwohl to murder 25 million Americans who cannot be “re-educated”.
Obama’s educational and political benefactors, Ayers and Dohrn, raised a son, Chesa Boudin, who worked for Hugo Chavez , communist dictator in charge of Venezuela. Chesa Boudin was the child of Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, members of a Weather Underground spin-off group who went to prison for an armored car robbery that resulted in the murders of two police officers and a security guard. Dohrn served seven months for her role in the robbery and this is the reason that she is ineligible to become bar certified as an attorney. Is anyone else uncomfortable with the fact that Ayers and Dohrn were the ones primarily responsible for educating Obama with communist funds and then subsequently launched his political career from their living room? Well, it is true, please read on.
Allen Hulton, a 39 year veteran of the postal service, provided a sworn affidavit to Maricopa County, AZ. Sheriff investigators, led by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, in an effort toward determining whether or not former foreign college student, Barack Obama, is eligible to be placed on Arizona’s 2012 election ballot. After reviewing Hulton’s affidavit, it is apparent that Ayers and Dohrn were in fact the de facto adoptive parents to this foreign student destined to become the first illegitimate President of the United States. As a result, Obama was treated to the finest Ivy League education that communist backed money could buy as Hulton maintains that the Ayers’ told him that they were financing the education of a promising foreign student at Harvard. Hulton also testified that he met Obama while at the Ayer’s home and he asked Obama what he going to do with all his education, to which Obama politely answered, “I am going to become the President”.
Readers should take note that this is an affidavit, and as such, is formally considered to be evidence, not conjecture or hearsay. There can be no other conclusion that the communist terrorist, Bill Ayers, began grooming Obama to become America’s first communist President during Obama’s college years. Their relationship continues into the present time as it is on record that Ayers visited the White House in August of 2009.
We also know that Obama’s communist affiliations continued well into his adulthood because of the good work of Joel Gilbert who discovered that Obama was active with a Weathermen Underground support group known as The May 19th Communist Organization, in New York. Perhaps, this is why Ayers was visiting the White House.
Frank Chapman, a communist activist and a member of the communist front group known as the World Peace Council. Chapman clearly used the term “mole” to describe Obama. He said Obama’s political climb and subsequent success in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries was “a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle.” Chapman further stated that, “Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary ‘mole,’ not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through. The Communist Party USA backs Obama to the hilt.” It is clear that Obama is their man!
America is at a serious crossroads. The United States is preparing to go to war with Iran and its allies, China and Russia, in a last ditch effort to save the Petrodollar scheme as opposed to letting China and Russia buy Iranian oil in gold. If America loses this struggle, the dollar will collapse. America’s economy is in shambles and the country can ill-afford being purposely run into the ground by a series of red-diaper babies bent on the communist takeover of this country. There can be no doubt about it, Barack Obama is a traitor to this country. He is the culmination of a distinct and purposeful mufti-generational communist plot to install a communist dictator who would weaken this country to the point that it is very vulnerable to an outside Russian attack.
Russian troops have infiltrated the United States and all signs in and around Alaska point to the fact that the Russian attack will commence through the Bering Strait and proceed southward into British Columbia, Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
Part two of this series will explore the emerging evidence to support the belief that Alaska is about to be attacked by Russia.

Russian Defectors Have Warned the US About This Moment
High-profile Soviet defectors have been telling American intelligence agencies for decades that the Russians have engaged in a multigenerational plot to destabilize America prior to the takeover in which both the Russians and the Chinese will unleash a ferocious military assault upon our country.The high-ranking defector, Sergei Tretyakov, who repeatedly warned Americans that Russia’s core government had never abandoned the Cold War and still aimed to destroy the United States. In his later years, he said his main goal was to “wake up” the American people to the deadly threat posed to them by the former Soviet Union.

Obama the Communist
Obama has been surrounded by nothing but communists for all of his life. From Obama’s real father, Frank Marshall Davis, to the husband and wife communist terrorist team of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn from the Weathermen Underground terrorist organization, Obama has known nothing but Marxist communist philosophy in his formative years. The late Senator, Joseph McCarthy, is rolling over in his grave due to the fact that a sitting President has such a retrograde pattern of communist associations and still managed to attain the presidency.Former FBI Weatherman Task Force supervisor, Max Noel, notes that the FBI utilized a CARL test when it conducted background checks on various suspects. The acronym CARL stands for Character, Associates, Reputation, and Loyalty used to assess candidates fitness to hold the highest office in the country. On each of these four points of power, Obama fails and fails miserably.

Ten Crucial Criteria For Evaluating Relocation Regions
Look at this question in light of the following ten criteria:
1. Consider all of the applicable prophecies in the bible,
like Ezekiel 38-39.
If you will ignore all of the misinterpretations foisted on your mind by blind leading the blind teachers, and honestly consider every single descriptive characteristic of this passage, you will see for your self that this passage is descriptive, in most of those cases, of America, and almost all of them, only of America, of all nations in all of history.
In brief, let it be pointed out that not one of the descriptions of
“the land of the people of Israel” is a description of Palestine, or of
the people who presently occupy it, who use the name Jew and
incorrectly named their country Israel. (Why not Judah?) Every
single description fits America exactly. Many of them fit only
America of all the nations on earth. To me, the most telling example, and which alone, should shut every mouth which would say that this passage refers to the imposters who “say they are Jews, but are not…” is that one of the requirements in identifying the land of this prophecy is that its cities have no locks, bars and gates; “And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of
unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of
them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates.” King James Bible.
Have you ever read the book of Nehemiah? “13 The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall unto the dung gate.” There were 42 gates, 42 locks, and 42 bars names in Nehemiah. And if someone still tries to sell me on the nonsensical idea that Jerusalem, and the “Israelies” are to be the scene of this event…they would also try to sell ice to Eskimos, and Sand to Arabs.
I think that this is pretty clear, enough so to at least give anyone who is not like the owl; –the more light you shine on it, the tighter it closes its eyes; –a clue that it is plainly clear that this passage does not refer to a city, or a nation, nor indeed, anywhere in the Mid-East, or anywhere on “the old continent” where every city was walled, with locks and bars, moats and drawbridges. Rather it refers to a land so much younger, that by the time it was settled, that walls and gates were antiquated forms of defense.
Along with other varied sources below, please at least note this one:
http://www.firstchurchoftheinternet.org/studies/pitts.htm
I quoted a good statement by Brandon Smith of http://www.alt-market.com/, and then commented on it:
“I doubt we have much more than a year before fuel prices are so high nobody will want to move anywhere, revolutionist. So far I’m getting the sense that most people consider this kind of action drastic, which is what I suspected the response would be when I started this thread. Unfortunately, most of us are going to see our lives change in extreme ways whether we are ready for it or not. My goal is that people will see that fact, and make changes on their OWN, before events force the issue. I really hope that readers here are not expecting to be able to make necessary preparations AFTER the collapse occurs, instead of before. If so, then I’m afraid they will find themselves not only seriously disappointed, but also in serious danger…”
Brandon…It has been almost two years since you wrote that, but what you say above, is 100% correct. I hope some people listened. To imagine that AFTER a collapse, and or CIVIL WAR, OR TOTAL ANARCHY, OR MARTIAL LAW…OR INVASION…that it will be easier to re-locate…is just not in any way, shape or form, based on anything in history, reality, common sense, etc.
I have said for twelve years: “YOU CAN DRIVE NOW…OR WALK LATER.”
It appears that the majority seem to be planning to vote with their feet…like Chuck Baldwin did figuratively…except they will be doing their voting with their feet literally.
Instead of being part of the solution, they will become a part of the problem.
Brandon, you have a host of good ideas. You have a lot of solid thinking. The only area that I hope you will re-evaluate is a big one: you have heard in relation to a lot of things like sales, real estate, business, etc, that there are three important things to consider: Location, Location, and Location. That is absolutely the case in this relocation consideration.
Obviously. Nobody has the time, or the resources to make a really bad mistake on this issue. Please study it carefully, before proceeding.
The extremely late-in-the-game idea of Montana, Wyoming, etc suddenly being advertised as “The Redoubt States,” is not a good one. Think about it like this: With the Super Bowl coming up…you pick the year & the winning team, ie the 1985 Bears, the Steelers in 75, 78, or 79, 76 Raiders, 72 Dolphins, 66 Packers, you get the idea…the week before the Super Bowl of that year, the head coach of the challenging team decides to change all their plays, change quarterbacks for a rookie, and not bother to require practice all week before the game. What would be their chances of success? The same exact scenario is playing out right now, except that instead of a fat ring on their left hand (or not) and a few grand, people are risking their life fortune as well as the lives of their families.
Even a superficial study of geography, military strategy, and history would readily prove that. People are planning to move to the border of this country; a border which will prove to be far more dangerous than the Southern border. Study the Canadian Highways; what is there to prevent Russia from traversing Canada in force? NOTHING. What is the next force they will encounter? Flathead Valley, with a few ill-prepared preppers to man the Redoubt which they have been suckered into? How long would they last?
You all must understand that this scenario is the, and has been the primary concern of Patriots in our US Military for decades. A Clergyman, FE Pitts understood it, 156 years ago, and preached it to our Congress -at their invitation, mind you:

Rev. Pitts and other clergymen of times past claimed that God established the United States in 1776 in fulfillment of Bible prophecy and that these united 13 colonies, now 50, are “the mountains of Israel” mentioned in Ezekiel 38.
Modern radio and TV evangelists disagree. They say, “The nation called Israeli established in 1948 by The United Nations in Palestine, that nation is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
Who is more correct?
Where and who are the “mountains of Israel” mentioned in Bible prophecy? Who will be invaded in the end-time? The United States or Palestine?
The “mountains of Israel” are the single Israeli nation in Palestine. These “mountains of Israel” are the fifty United States in North America.

Here is the book which also confirms this thesis:
The Bible says:
Russia Will Invade America
— And Be Defeated

and here is the sermon by FE Pitts, preached in 1857, saying this exact thing, that Russia will
attack America:

Don’t think so ? Tell me about all the things you’re “free” to do without getting permits, licenses, etc. ???? How’s that constitutional challenge to The Obamanation wasn’t born here been working out so far ??? (Note: Lead by that Russian, Israeli (b)witch so she can purposely screw it up. Learn to see what you’re looking at.)
Your lost Constitutional Republic died and has become a Communist Republic. Don’t agree ?
Have you ever read “The Communist Manifesto” and The Ten Planks contained therein ? Here’s just a few examples, but they’re all in full force and effect in the U.S.S.A.:
1st. Plank: Property tax (Abolition of the right to property – land rent)
2nd.: Graduated Income tax.
3rd.: Inheritance tax. (Abolition of the right to inheritance)
5th.: Central Bank in control of credit & currency (Federal Reserve Bank)
10th. Free compulsory education (indoctrination via the public fool system)
Getting the picture comrades or do I need to list them all ? And now it’s morphed into Corporate Fascism, while most people in America are under the delusion that they live in “the land of the free and the home of the brave (sic)”.
Most people, including the vast majority of so called “Christians”, hate the truth.
The truth of the matter is: For the most part, this nation has turned it’s back on and, in essence, “flipped the bird” to The Great I Am that became flesh and dwelt among us. And because this nation as a whole hates the truth, here’s what’s happened to it:
Because they do not have a love of the truth, God has sent them a strong delusion, so that they will believe what is false in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in lawlessness. 2 Thessalonians 2: 10 – 12.
That admonition about the love of truth, includes ALL truth, not just the ones you agree with. How much love of truth do you really have ?
The Almighty told you in His Word that His Laws, Statutes and Judgments are perfect and “Thou shalt not add or subtract therefrom.” Yet, you continually “vote” for legislative and presidential offices to do just that, i.e., “add or subtract therefrom.” The making of Law is a power that belongs to Him and Him alone!
The only way to save this nation is to turn back to Him, His Perfect Moral Laws, Statutes and Judgments, i.e., His Kingdom/Will On Earth. Seek Him while He may yet be found.
The Clock is ticking. Look around, the judgments are happening before your eyes.
Excellent and well laid out job ! Glad you posted the truth about America as the land described in Ezekiel 38 & 9 and the Caucasian people being the true, physical descendants of Israel.
For those who need to see additional support of this truth, go to http://www.missiontoisrael.org and get the extremely well documented and concise book on this subject: “God’s Covenant People, Yesturday, Today and Forever”. Also, “The Mystery of The Gentiles, Who Are They and Where Are They Now”.
Although you correctly identify America as the target, you are not correct with this statement:
“ezekiel describes it “as my people israel” meaning gods spiritual israel, christians. the very word “israel” means gods people. gods people are christians so the new testament means christians in most cases where it says “israel my people” since the jews rejected jesus.”
Sorry bigjoe, but you’ve fallen for some big lies:
There is nothing in the Bible indicating “Spiritual Israel” (as in other than the physical descendants of Israel) now refers to the Christians.
Israel means: He (Ish = male) Rules or will rule (Ra) With God (El). And those physical descendants of Israel that repent, confess Him and are baptized (full immersion) for the remission of sins (law breaking) in His Name (Acts 2: 38) become part of His Body (i.e., Civil Body Politic) and will rule with Him. See also who the New Covenant was made with: Hebrews 8.
The words “Jew” and “Israel” are not synonymous. The word “Jew” doesn’t even appear in the Bible until 2 Kings 16.
Please go to http://www.missiontoisrael.org and get the extremely well documented and concise book on this subject: “God’s Covenant People, Yesturday, Today and Forever”. Also, “The Mystery of The Gentiles, Who Are They and Where Are They Now”.
ie where and what is the “VALLEY OF PASSENGERS” spoken of in this passage in Ezekiel 38???
Read about the timing of this revealing article, and how and when it was written, waaay back in 1995, and how he finally managed to have transferred it to a computer, and eventually posted it online…and the sources he quotes dating back to 1883!!!…..
How much sooner could I have seen this, if he wrote it in 1995, and did not get it onto a PC and online, until…he does not say what date the second writing was, but he says this:
“the time of this writing (my first writing, this issue is my second), the Oklahoma bombing took place a little over two months ago. Today is June 30, 1995.”…
ANYWAY…I FOUND IT B/C OF THE ARTICLE I POSTED LATE LAST NIGHT, AND FOUND THIS INFO ABOUT MIDNIGHT…
“The following is an article, which I wrote in 1995. I wrote it on a Canon Star Writer #70.
I just recently learned how to transfer materials written on the Canon Star Writer to my computer. (when was this?)
The Canon Star Writer only had enough memory for about five and one half pages of writing. I originally had to write this article in five segments because of this. Since transferring it to my present computer, I now have it in one complete article. In transferring it, I lost all my underlining and bold print among other things, but just saving the main text saved me a lot of typing. After a five-year period of time, I found things, which I desired to change, so the following article will not be exactly as I originally wrote it. I originally entitled it simply The Problems With Ezekiel 38 and 39. I decided, with this writing, to change the title as you see it above.
If we are to understand this portion of the Bible, we are going to have to know who, what, when, where, why and how all of this Prophesy fits together. The first thing that has to be established is, WHO? For if we cannot establish who, the entire Prophesy will be an enigma, it will be a total mystery. I will try to establish beyond all doubt, with materials that have been established before me, as to who the who is. I am going to quote quite extensively from The Russian Chapters Of Ezekiel by one Rev. W. M. H. Milner. The articles first appeared in. The National Message, published in London, England in the weekly issues of May and June 1923. It was printed again as a Fifth Edition by Destiny Publishers, Haverhill, Massachusetts, in 1941. While this booklet is very good at establishing the who of Ezekiel 38 and 39, some of the conclusions at the end are probably incorrect. The booklet is a must for studying these two chapters, and can still be obtained from Destiny Publishers, P. O. Box 177, Merrimac, Massachusetts, 01860-0177 for $2.50 plus postage. I will be quoting also from other authors and commentators on these two chapters. After we have established some of the necessary background, we will speculate just where and maybe when this great battle may take place.
Rev. W. M. H. Milner, in the forward to his booklet writes: Forty years ago, on Wednesday, February 7th, 1883, it was my privilege to publish in the Banner of Israel, under the editorship of “Philo-Israel,†an “Exposition of Ezekiel xxxviii., xxxix,†Forty-three and a half years ago I was led to believe in the “Identity†of Our Race with the forgotten “Israel†of the Bible by seeing Russia in Ezekiel.
In the September of that year 1897, returning to my north-country home at Middleton-in-Teesdale, where my father was Rector, and having traveled through the night and arrived half-an-hour too soon for breakfast, I rested in my father’s “den†awaiting his coming. On his table was no single thing but one grey pamphlet. This caught my eye at once. For one who had never looked into the Prophecies of Holy Scripture, its title was somewhat startling. From a copy now before me I quote the Title Page.
Then and there I read the pamphlet through, and having read it to the end, I rose convinced that We were Israel!……
Not to dump too much on you all, but after I sent that, I found some research that addresses questions that I have had for twenty years: what, and where is the “valley of passengers” in Ez 38/39?
I found these sites with OLD writings addressing the question.
The 1st one is interesting for background. The 2nd one is addressing the question exactly…..and I have not studied it is depth, but it looks fascinating. I never felt the Mississippi Valley was quite right, even though it fits a lot of the details….
The timing of just, poof! — finding this info –after looking for it for twenty years is what is so odd to me…
It is interesting that Bertrand Comparet, I found out just a week or so ago….was the attorney who defended Royal Raymond Rife!!! who should have changed the medical world:

RUSSIA IN BIBLE PROPHECY

Taken From Your Heritage
Prepared into a PDF file by:

Plus Critical Note
Today all well informed people know that we will soon receive a treacherous attack by communist hordes, led by Russia. Those who are well informed in the word of Yahweh, have known this for a long time, the prophets described it in detail, written thus some 2,500 years ago. We find it principally in the 38th and 39th chapters of Ezekiel. Beginning at Ezekiel 38:1 we read: And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince (or prince of Rosh) Meshech and Tubal and prophesy against him and say, Thus saith Yahweh, Behold I am against thee O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.†Of whom is Yahweh speaking?
Gog, in ancient Hebrew, meaning huge or gigantic, is from the root word G-G. The same root is found in Agag, a king of Amalek, sometimes written Agog, this fits Russia’s great size. Magog, in ancient Hebrew and Arabic, geographers applied this name to the area lying north of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, the Hindu Kush (Afghanistan) and Altai, western and southwestern Russia. The root M-G-G also underlies Mongol, you know the proverb, Scratch a Russian and you find a Tartar. Magog was the 2nd son of Japhet, others being Mesheh and Tubal, and was known to have migrated to southwestern Russia. Meshech in ancient Hebrew, is a word of three letters corresponding to M-S-C or M-sh-ch. This root is found in many place names near and including Moscow. The ancients understood this to mean Moscow, Tubal in ancient Hebrew, written with three letters corresponding to th-b-I. Later it was sometimes written Thubal, sometimes Thobal. It is the root from which is derived Tobolsk-Tobal plus the Russian suffix “sk†indicating a place name.
Moscow is the capital city of western or European Russia, while Tobolsk for most of its existence has been the capitol city of eastern or Siberian Russia. For at least the last 150 years, scholars have recognized these words as identifying Russia as the power spoken of in these verses.
Ezekiel 38:4 continues, “And I will turn thee back and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth….”

PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE AREA; HUGE SENSE OF EERINESS, DESTINY,
MYSTERY, HISTORY, VAST AND UNSEARCHABLE WISDOM, PLANNING & POWER OF GOD….I know this is a mess, and does not have the pics, maps, etc, but for those who are aware, and awake, it will mean a lot.
One sister said this:
the revelations of these thing will be continual and on a need to know basis, as it were.
so i do not think it is so much odd, but of marked with purpose……necessity
don’t miss the video with the many markers…
ok after reading the post but not following the links yet,
i want to state clearer that the link i posted about in the last email on this topic, is a more recent validation /revelation on top of all these previously available understandings, and need/must be seen too, as i now believe the facts are quite clear, and we are promised a clear understanding will be available to us, if we are watching, it just might not be a great deal of time to do much else when we know it, which is where i believe we are at, even if it is two years out (which i doubt) little can be accomplished in that amount of time especially with continual diminishment of means,
anyway pretty sure this is the link of interest, while we still have these resource available to us

21 And I will call for a sword against [Gog] throughout all My mountains, says the Lord God, every man’s sword shall be against his brother [over the dividing of booty].
22 And with pestilence and with bloodshed will I enter into judgment with [Gog], and I will rain upon him and upon his hordes and upon the many peoples that are with him torrents of rain and great hailstones, fire and brimstone.
23 Thus will I demonstrate My greatness and My holiness, and I will be recognized, understood, and known in the eyes of many nations; yes, they shall know that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service]….
So, Imagine the GOGantic Yellowstone Super Volcano as a Divine Mortar…with just a bit of indirect fire adjustment, which I believe Almighty God can handle…and…poof!!!
“I will rain upon him and upon his hordes and upon the many peoples that are with him torrents of rain and great hailstones, fire and brimstone.” “If a man have the faith of a grain of mustard seed, and say to this mountain, be removed and cast into the sea, i t shall be done…”
Well, I can envision the time when that will be a perfect solution to this invasion, so I say to that mountain (Yellowstone), when that point in time is fully come, to be removed, and cast into the Flaming Gorge (Sea) and bury the enemy and “…rain upon him and upon his hordes and upon the many peoples that are with him torrents of rain and great hailstones, fire and brimstone.”…
and so we have Flames used…as in FLAMING, and what else?
“You shall fall [dead] upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your hosts and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. What does that say??? Wild beasts will GORGE on you.
What does God use to destroy the enemy? Earthquake which trips Flaming hailstones, and then animals will GORGE on the bodies, and what is left, over a period of SEVEN MONTHS, will be buried in a Narrow Valley, or GORGE, with very steep walls…FLAMING GORGE ABOUT NAILS THAT DOWN COLD…
“2 And I will turn you about and will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north and will lead you against the mountains of Israel;
3 And I will smite your bow from your left hand and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.
4 You shall fall [dead] upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your hosts and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 You shall fall in the open field, for I have spoken [it], says the Lord God.
6 I will send fire on Magog and upon those who dwell securely in the coast-lands…”
I can send the whole thing with links, pics, maps, etc, off forum if that is OK;

Emigrant Trail in Wyoming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The path followed by the Oregon Trail, California Trail and Mormon Trail (collectively referred to as the Emigrant Trail) spans 400 miles (640 km) through the U.S. state of Wyoming. The trail enters from Nebraska on the eastern border of the state near the present day town of Torrington and exited on the western border near the towns of Cokeville and Afton. An estimated 350,000 to 400,000 settlers traveled on the trail through Wyoming between 1841 and 1868. All three trails follow the same path through most of the state. The Mormon Trail splits at Fort Bridger and enters Utah, while the Oregon and California Trails continue to Idaho.

North Platte River
Plan of Fort Laramie
In the eastern plains, the Emigrant Trail follows the North Platte River into Wyoming. The trail follows the river upstream to Fort Laramie, a prominent military and trading post in the region.[1] Prior to 1850 the northern side of the river was thought to be impassable beyond Fort Laramie, so the wagon trains that were traveling on the northern side of the river through Nebraska had to undertake a dangerous crossing at the fort. After crossing, trains on the main trail to the south of the river had to cross the North Platte again 100 miles (160 km) upstream. In 1850 several wagon trains successfully blazed a path along the northern side of the river. This new route, which reduced the risk and expense of crossing the river twice, was preferred for all subsequent traffic on the northern side of the river.[2] The northern route is sometimes called Child’s Route after Andrew Child who describe it in a guide book published in 1852. Above Fort Laramie, Child’s Route follows the North Platte River through the present day town of Douglas, and near the site of Fort Fetterman which was built in 1867. This is the point at which the Bozeman Trail turned north to the gold fields of Montana in the 1860s.
The southern route also follows the river along the edge of the Laramie Mountains to an area near the current towns of Casper and Glenrock. In 1847, during the first Mormon emigration, Brigham Young established a ferry near present day Casper known as Mormon Ferry. The next year the ferry was moved a few miles downriver. The ferry was free for Latter Day Saints, but charged a toll for other users. The ferry was manned by groups of Mormons every summer from 1848 until 1852. In 1853 John Baptiste Richard built a toll bridge near the ferry site, which would eventually put all ferries on the North Platte out of business.[3] In 1859, Louis Guinard built the Platte Bridge near the site of the original Mormon Ferry.[4] Guinard also built a trading post at one end of the bridge which eventually became Fort Caspar.
Famous landmarks along the southern route included Ayres Natural Bridge and Register Cliff, one of a number of locations along the trail in Wyoming where settlers carved their names.[5]
***************************
Immediately after crossing the Sweetwater at Burnt Ranch the trail crosses the continental divide at South Pass, unarguably the most important landmark on the entire trail. South Pass itself is an unimpressive open saddle between the Wind River Range to the north and the Antelope Hills to the south, but it represented a major milestone in the trip. In 1848, Congress created the Oregon Territory which included all the territory in Wyoming west of the Continental Divide.[10] Crossing South Pass meant that the settlers had truly arrived in the Oregon Territory, though their ultimate destination was still a great distance away. Nearby Pacific Springs offered the first water since the trail had left the Sweetwater River and marked the beginning of a relatively dry stretch of trail until the settlers reached the Green River more than 40 miles (64 km) away.
Sweetwater River
Independence Rock
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/IndependenceRock2.jpg/250px-IndependenceRock2.jpg
Continuing upstream from Casper, the North Platte bends to the south. The original trail proceeded several miles along the river to Red Buttes, where a bend in the river formed a natural amphitheater dominated by red cliffs on the hill above. The river was easier to ford here for those who were unwilling or unable to pay to cross at one of the ferries downstream. This was the last good camp spot before leaving the river and entering the waterless stretch between the North Platte and the Sweetwater River. From here the settlers entered a difficult portion called Rock Avenue which moved from spring to spring across mostly alkaline soil and steep hills until it reached the Sweetwater River. Later settlers who had crossed to the northern side of the river at Casper would come to favor a route through a small valley called Emigrant Gap which headed directly to Rock Avenue, bypassing Red Buttes.

Upon arrival in the Sweetwater valley, the trail encounters one of the most important landmarks on the trail, Independence Rock. Independence Rock was named because settlers tried to reach it by July 4 (Independence Day in the United States) in order to help ensure that they will be at their destinations in California or Oregon before the winter snows come. Many of the travelers left their names on the rock, either carved or painted on with axle grease. It is estimated that more than 50,000 signatures were inscribed on Independence Rock.[6] Other notable landmarks along the Sweetwater valley include Split Rock, Devil’s Gate and Martin’s Cove, where, in November 1856, the Martin Handcart Company was stranded by heavy snow until a rescue party from Salt Lake City arrived.[7]
The trail continues west along the Sweetwater River eventually crossing the meandering river nine times, including three times within a 2 miles (3.2 km) section through a narrow canyon in the Rattlesnake Hills. Prior to the 6th crossing, the trail crossed an unusual location known as Ice Slough. A covering of peat like vegetation grew over a small stream. The stream froze in winter and didn’t thaw until early summer due to the insulating layer of vegetation. The ice was a welcome treat for settlers who were enduring temperatures over 90 °F (32 °C) in July. The trail crosses the Sweetwater three more times and encounters a large hill known as Rocky Ridge on the northern side of the river. This barren and rocky section lasted almost 12 miles (19 km), and was considered a major obstacle in the trail. The same storm in November 1856 that debilitated the Martin Handcart Company also stranded the Willie Handcart Company on the eastern side of the ridge. Before rescuers could arrive, 21 people died in freezing temperatures. Following Rocky Ridge, the trail descends one more time into the Sweetwater valley to the ninth and final crossing of the Sweetwater at Burnt Ranch.[8]
In 1853, a new route named Seminoe cutoff was established on the southern side of the river. It was named after trapper Basil LaJeunesse who was referred to as Seminoe by the Shoshone Indians. The Seminoe cutoff split from the main trail at the 6th crossing and rejoined it at Burnt Ranch, bypassing both Rocky Ridge and four of the river crossings, which was an advantage in the early spring and summer during high runoff. The route was used extensively in the 1850s, especially by the Mormon companies.[9]

The South Pass was the doorway through the Rockies for emigrants on the Oregon Trail. First discovered in 1813, then rediscovered by the mountain man Jedediah Smith in 1824, it was vital to transcontinental travel until the completion of the railroad in 1869.

The Joining of a Nation
May 10, 1869 the Union and Central Pacific Railroads joined their rails at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory and forged the destiny of a nation. Golden Spike National Historic Site shares the stories of the people and settings that define the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad.
The Golden Spike visitor center is built with iron quartzite and rare copper quartzite, which is mined only in China and here in nearby Park Valley, Utah. Now, between 50,000 and 75,000 people visit each year. Though there is no longer a train station or ticket office in Promontory, the visitor center serves as a gateway to the history of one of the most significant events in the American west. Nearly all visitors at Golden Spike come here to see exhibits, view films, watch ranger presentations, and shop in the bookstore.
Promontory Point is the cape or southernmost point of the peninsula formed where the Promontory Mountains project into the northern Great Salt Lake at 41°12′18″N 112°25′43″W / 41.205°N 112.42861°W in Box Elder County, Utah, with an elevation of

Promontory Peninsula with the Lucin Cutoff crossing the end of the peninsula
Promontory Point is the cape or southernmost point of the peninsula formed where the Promontory Mountains project into the northern Great Salt Lake at 41°12′18″N 112°25′43″W in Box Elder County, Utah, with an elevation of 4,297 feet (1,310 m) above sea level.[1][2] The point lies 4.75 kilometres (2.95 mi) northwest of the west end of Fremont Island in Weber County.[2]
Promontory Point is also used to refer to the location 41°13′20″N 112°24′38″W[3] where the Lucin Cutoff intersects the east coast of the peninsula. This location lies 1.7 miles (2.7 km) northeast of the cape. The Lucerne Cutoff passes 1,250 feet (380 m) north of the cape and continues on west 6.4 miles (10.3 km) to Saline where the cutoff leaves the peninsula.[2]

The Oregon Trail is a 2,000-mile (3,200 km) historic east-west large wheeled wagon route and emigrant trail that connected the Missouri River to valleys in Oregon. The eastern part of the Oregon Trail spanned part of the future state of Kansas and nearly all of what are now the states of Nebraska and Wyoming. The western half of the trail spanned most of the future states of Idaho and Oregon.
The Oregon Trail was laid by fur trappers and traders from about 1811 to 1840 and were only passable on foot or by horseback. By 1836, when the first migrant wagon train was organized in Independence, Missouri, a wagon trail had been cleared to Fort Hall, Idaho. Wagon trails were cleared further and further west, eventually reaching all the way to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. What came to be called the Oregon Trail was complete, even as improved roads, “cutouts”, ferries and bridges made the trip faster and safer almost every year. From various “jumping off points” in Missouri, Iowa or Nebraska Territory, the routes converged along the lower Platte River Valley near Fort Kearny, Nebraska Territory and led to rich farmlands west of the Rocky Mountains.
From the early to mid-1830s and particularly through the epoch years 1846–1869 the Oregon Trail and its many offshoots were used by about 400,000 settlers, ranchers, farmers, miners, and businessmen and their families. The eastern half of the trail was also used by travelers on the California Trail (from 1843), Bozeman Trail (from 1863), and Mormon Trail (from 1847) which used some of the same eastern trails before turning off to their separate destinations. Use of the trail declined as the first transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, making the trip west substantially faster, cheaper, and safer. Today, modern highways such as Interstate 80 follow the same course westward and pass through towns originally established to service the Oregon Trail.

Museums of Flaming Gorge Country
Fort Bridger Historic Site
Located in Fort Bridger, Wyoming
Established by the famous mountain man Jim Bridger and Louis Vasquez in 1843 as an emigrant supply stop along the Oregon Trail. It was obtained by the Mormons in the early 1850s, and then became a military outpost in 1858. In 1933, the property was dedicated as a Wyoming Historical Landmark and Museum. There are several restored historical buildings from the military time period, a reconstruction of the 1840’s era trading post operated by Jim Bridger, and an interpretive archaeological site containing the base of the cobble rock wall built by the Mormons during their occupation of the fort. All of these locations are signed in Braille. In addition, a museum containing artifacts from the various different historical time periods is housed in the 1888 stone barracks building. There are gift shops in both museums and the reconstructed trading post. This is the site used for one of the biggest mountain man rendezvous in the country, held every Labor Day weekend.

OREGON TRAIL
After crossing the South Platte River the Oregon Trail follows the North Platte River out of Nebraska into Wyoming. Fort Laramie, at the junction of the Laramie River and the North Platte River, was a major stopping point. Fort Laramie was a former fur trading outpost originally named Fort John that was purchased in 1848 by the U.S. Army to protect travelers on the trails.[12] It was the last army outposts till travelers reached the coast.
Independence Rock
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/IndependenceRock2.jpg/220px-IndependenceRock2.jpg
After crossing the South Platte the trail continues up the North Platte River, crossing many small swift flowing creeks. As the North Platte veers to the south the trail crosses the North Platte to the Sweetwater River valley which heads almost due west. Independence Rock is located on the Sweetwater River. The Sweetwater would have to be crossed up to nine times before the trail crosses over the Continental Divide at South Pass, Wyoming. From South Pass the trail continues southwest crossing Big Sandy Creek (about 10 feet (3.0 m) wide and 1 foot (0.30 m) deep) before hitting the Green River. Three to five ferries were in use on the Green during peak travel periods. The swift and treacherous Green River, which eventually empties into the Colorado River, was usually at high water in July and August, and it was a dangerous crossing. After crossing the Green the main trail continues on in an approximate southwest direction until it encounters the Blacks Fork of the Green River and Fort Bridger, Wyoming. From Fort Bridger the Mormon Trail continued southwest following the upgraded Hastings Cutoff[13] through the Wasatch Mountains. From Fort Bridger, the main trail, comprising several variants, veered northwest over the Bear River Divide and descended to the Bear River Valley.[14] The trail turned north following the Bear River past the terminus of the Sublette-Greenwood Cutoff at Smiths Fork[15] and on to the Thomas Fork Valley at the present Wyoming-Idaho border.

********************************
GREEN RIVER
It rises in western Wyoming, in northern Sublette County, on the western side of the Continental Divide in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in the Wind River Range. It flows south through Sublette County and western Wyoming in an area known as the Upper Green River Valley, then southwest and is joined by the Big Sandy River in western Sweetwater County. At the town of La Barge, it flows into Fontenelle Reservoir, formed by Fontenelle Dam. Below there, it flows through open sage covered rolling prairie where it is crossed by the Oregon, California and Mormon emigration trails and then further south until it flows past the town of Green River and into the Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Southwestern Wyoming, formed by the Flaming Gorge Dam in northeastern Utah. Prior to the creation of the reservoir, the Blacks Fork joined the Green River south of Green River, today the mouth of Blacks Fork is submerged by the reservoir.
South of the dam it flows eastward, looping around the eastern tip of the Uinta Mountains going from Utah into northwestern Colorado and through Browns Park before turning west and then south into Dinosaur National Monument where it passes through the Canyon of the Lodore (Otherwise known as the Gates of Lodore) and is joined by the Yampa River at Steamboat Rock. It turns westward back into Utah along the southern edge of the Uintas in Whirlpool Canyon. In Utah it meanders southwest across the Yampa Plateau and through the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation and the Ouray National Wildlife Refuge. Two miles south of Ouray, Utah, it is joined by Duchesne River, and three miles (5 km) downstream by the White River. Ten miles farther downstream it is joined by the Willow River.
The confluence of the Green River (upper right) and the Colorado (lower right)
South of the plateau, it is joined by the Nine Mile River, then enters the Roan Cliffs where it flows south through the back-to-back Desolation and Gray Canyons, with a combined length of 120 mi (192 km). In Gray Canyon, it is joined by the Price River. South of the canyon it passes the town of Green River, Utah and is joined by the San Rafael River in southern Emery County. In eastern Wayne County it meanders through Canyonlands National Park where it joins the Colorado.
The Flaming Gorge Dam in Utah is a significant regional source of water for irrigation and mining, as well as for hydroelectric power. Begun in the 1950s and finished in 1963, it was highly controversial and opposed by conservationists. Originally, a dam was to be built in Whirlpool Canyon, but the conservationist movement traded the Flaming Gorge dam for halting that proposal. Apocryphally, the Sierra Club, a not-for-profit environmental organization, lost its tax-exempt status for political action in opposing the proposed dam.
The Green is a large, deep, powerful river. It ranges from 100 to 300 feet (30 to 100 m) wide in the upper course to 300 to 1,500 feet (460 m) wide in its lower course and ranges from 3 to 50 feet (1 to 15 m) in depth. It is navigable by small craft throughout its course and by large motorboats upstream to Flaming Gorge Dam. Near the areas where the Oregon Trail crosses, the river is 400 – 500 feet (150 m) wide and averages about 20 feet (6.1 m) deep at normal flow.
Emigrant Tide
The circuit to Oregon was finally completed in 1841, when mountain man Tom “Broken Hand” Fitzpatrick led the Bidwell-Bartleson party over the Blue Mountains of Oregon. In 1843, enterprising mountain men constructed a commercial ferry at the primary Green River crossing on the Oregon Trail. Many emigrants followed, including Brigham Young and the great exodus of Mormons on their way to settle Salt Lake City in 1847. Settler traffic on the Oregon Trail increased to total about 12,000 people by 1848.
When gold was discovered in California in 1849, the trickle of travelers suddenly turned to a tide. That year, tens of thousands of people used the trail and the crossings on the Green River. By 1850, the Oregon Trail had become part of the Mormon and California Trails as well. Alternate trail routes, or cutoffs, began to be developed, shortcutting the standard route. One such cutoff was known as the Kinney Cutoff and ran near the confluence of the Green and Big Sandy Rivers upstream along the east bank of the Green and crossed at a ford or ferry near Fontenelle, Wyoming. This cutoff, a variation of the Sublette Cutoff, saved considerable mileage for the traveler not wishing to go to Fort Bridger on Black’s Fork. The old wagon ruts are still visible in places along the east bank of the Green.
The fabled, but short-lived, Pony Express sprang up in 1860, and the route used by its riders followed much of the Oregon Trail. A Pony Express station was located on the west bank of Green River Crossing, just upstream from the Big Sandy-Green confluence. At this time, this little stretch of river was western Wyoming’s largest community. A year later wire was strung for the transcontinental telegraph through this same spot, putting the Express out of business.
Settlers on the Green
Tallman Ranch Tallman Ranch
Although this portion of the Green River was popular with Indians, fur trappers, and emigrants, the area originally offered very little attraction for settlers. The remote location, poor soil, and cold, arid climate made settlement unattractive. Indian uprisings along the Oregon Trail in the 1860′s began to turn even more settlers away. However, gold was discovered on South Pass in 1867, and, once again, the Oregon Trail became a popular route. With the advent of gold and the last spike driven for the Union Pacific railroad, the route from the railhead at Bryan (near Green River) to South Pass City was improved and utilized as a stage road. The road improvement, gold strike, and railroad access, finally led settlers to homestead this area. A few remains of these homesteads can still be seen on the Refuge.
A Demand for Beef
With the end of the Civil War, many people returned anxious to pick up the pieces and start a new life. Due to a great demand for beef back East, cattle ranching sprang up in Wyoming and throughout the West. It soon became common practice to winter cattle from as far away as Utah and Nevada along the Green River. By the 1870′s, the cattle industry was the biggest business in the Wyoming Territory. Sheep also moved into the area. Notorious range wars erupted between ranchers over precious forage. By 1886, the situation turned grim – the range was overstocked and in poor condition, a drought was on, beef prices were down, and, as a result, ranchers were leaving more stock on the range. A devastating blow struck that winter when savage blizzards ravaged the big herds, reducing them to half by spring. This disaster signaled the end of open range grazing and led to the fencing of the open range.

The Oregon Trail article is not a day by day account of travel, but a series of factual historical trivia related to the Oregon Country, western expansion, and the Oregon Trail.
The Oregon Trail pioneered by the Astorians in 1812 opened up a new way of life for a great many Americans. The first non-missionary family to farm in Oregon Country traveled the Oregon Trail in 1840. This was the family of Joel Walker, the brother of mountain man Joseph Walker. By the same token, the Oregon Trail sounded the death knell for a great many Native Americans. The first settlers over South Pass on the Oregon Trail signaled the end for millions of buffalo and the Plains Indians.
http://www.thefurtrapper.com/images/OT-Oregon%20Mormon%20California%20Trail.jpg
Forty-six years after the first pioneers traveled the Oregon Trail…the last buffalo hunt was held in the Judith Valley, and the vast majority of Plains Indians were on reservations.
As this country expanded and defined itself, there is no doubt tragedies occurred, i. e. Trail of Tears, Moravian Massacre. Similar wrongs have happened throughout world history, and are still happening today in Russia, many third world countries, and Muslim countries. Despite what we may want to believe, this has been the pattern for all developing countries, and it was going on long before there was an America. From a biblical sense, it started with Cain and Abel.
The history of the Oregon, Mormon, and California trails cannot be separated from the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade. Mountain men not only trapped and explored the way West, with the exception of the Mormon Trail, mountain men led the first wagon trains over the trails.
A great many people paid a huge price to live, or even survive, in the West. Oregon Trail pioneers struggled West for free land and a better life; Mormon emigrants went West to escape religious persecution. White Americans took the land from Native Americans that had taken the land from other Native Americans. Striving for a better life, religious persecution, and one people taken another peoples land are cornerstones of World History.
Prior to 1846, the Oregon Country was the territory west of the Continental Divide from northern California to the southern border of Alaska. The settlement of the Oregon Country boundary at the forty-ninth parallel in 1846, and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on February 2, 1848 brought the future western states of Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, and Arizona under the American flag.
America’s Western Expansion
For the Mexican government to give up almost half of Mexico, the American government paid Mexico fifteen million dollars and assumed debts of three million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a total of eighteen million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Part of this settlement was the Mexican Government relinquishing any claims over the annexing of Texas into the Union.
The Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty increased the size of the United States by about one-third (this includes Texas)–an addition greater than the Louisiana Purchase.
At various times, Spain, Russia, England, and the United States claimed the Oregon Country. The only people with a real claim on the land were the American Indians.
Why didn’t the American Indians have any say in the Oregon Country settlement? The reason is:
In 1452, the Catholic Pope Nicholas V issued to King Alfonso V of Portugal a proclamation declaring war against all non-Christians throughout the world, and specifically sanctioning and promoting the conquest, colonization, and exploitation of non-Christian nations and their territories. This “Doctrine of Discovery” gave Christian countries the rights to the lands of non-Christians.
In 1823, the United States Supreme Court decided in the Johnson v. McIntosh decision that, “as a result of European discovery, the Native Americans had a right to occupancy and possession.” But “tribal rights to complete sovereignty were necessarily diminished by the principle discovery gave exclusive title to those who made it.” Chief Justice John Marshall observed that European nations had assumed “ultimate dominion” over the lands of America during the Age of Discovery, and that upon “discovery” the Indians lost “their rights to complete sovereignty, as independent nations,” and retained only a right of “occupancy” in their lands”
It was the Doctrine of Discovery that gave Rene-Robert La Salle the right to stand at the mouth of the Mississippi River and declare all the drainage of the Mississippi River belonged to the King of France.
The 1823 opinion on the Doctrine of Discovery by Chief Justice John Marshal is still upheld by the United States Legal system.
In 1806, Lt. Zebulon Pike explored the Great Plains and into the Rocky Mountains. Lt. Pike referred to the plains as “the Great American Desert”. Pike’s opinion was confirmed by Major Steven Long, who led an expedition West in 1819. Major Long concluded the entire region was unfit for human habitation.
William Ashley expressed similar view as Lt. Pike in a letter to Fort Atkinson. And so, any route to the Oregon Country was of little interest to most people until 1840 when the first homesteader traveled over what would be the Oregon Trail.
The Astorian Robert Stuart and six men were the first non-Indians to travel over what would become the Oregon Trail in 1812.
The depression following the War of 1812 left little interest in western expansion despite a Missouri Gazette editorial on Stuart’s path being an easy wagon route to the Oregon Country.
The Oregon Trail is is the only major trail in the United States that was first traveled in a west to east direction.
http://www.thefurtrapper.com/images/OT-Oregon%20Trail%20Marker.jpg
Oregon -Mormon – California Trail
There was little national interest in a trail to the West until Jedediah Smith crossed South Pass in 1824. Smith is given credit for the effective discovery of South Pass.
The number one traveler of the Oregon trail was Ezra Meeker. Meeker went over the Oregon Trail in 1852. At the age of 76, Meeker, accompanied by two oxen, a driver and a dog, went from Puyallup, Washington to Washington, D.C.. Meeker wanted to bring the Nation’s attention to the Oregon Trail, which was being plowed under by civilization.
Ezra Meeker made three more journeys to the East: another with an ox team, by an automobile in 1915, and by an airplane in 1924. The “Champion” of the Oregon Trail died at the age of ninety-eight.
Oregon Trail Marker on the Continental Divide at South Pass
The Oregon Trail Monument 1843 -1857 was placed there by Ezra Meeker in 1906.
http://www.thefurtrapper.com/images/Narcissa%20Whitman.jpg
Marcus and Narcissa Whitman and Henry and Elisa Spaulding traveled to the 1836 Horse Creek Rendezvous with wagons. On the advise of several mountain men, the heaviest wagon was left at the Horse Creek Rendezvous. But Dr. Whitman refused to leave the light wagon. At Fort Hall, Doctor Whitman’s driver deserted, and the wagon was transformed into a two-wheeled cart. Reaching Fort Boise, Dr. Spaulding relinquished the idea of taking the cart over the Blue Mountains. The two-wheeled cart was abandoned at Fort Boise…many internet sites claim the Whitmans traveled all the way to Washington in a covered wagon.
Narcissa Whitman and Elisa Spaulding were the first white women to cross South Pass, attend a mountain man rendezvous, and travel the Oregon Trail to the Oregon Country.
Narcissa Whitman Eliza Spaulding Marker – South Pass
Oregon Trail pioneers were mostly middle class, successful people. Eight hundred to a thousand dollars were required for a wagon, oxen, and enough supplies to live a year.
Of the men on the Oregon Trail, sixty percent of the family men were farmers. Around twenty percent of the men were craftsmen and merchants, while physicians, lawyers, teachers, and other professionals made up about twelve percent.
On the Oregon Trail, one in every five women were in some stage of pregnancy. Nearly all married woman traveled with small children.

Now this is how I propose it all might happen. First of all, we have to take into account the “GiG-antic” size of such an operation. I don’t believe, offhand, that this could be a total parachute from the air attack, although this may be part of the operation. This attack is going to take many large shiploads of men and equipment. (At this writing, (my first) there is documented proof that many train loads of equipment have already been shipped into the United States and is in storage awaiting the men to operate them.) This will be no small operation!!! I believe, also, that it will take the form of a sneak attack and we will not know about it until they are already here. If this is true, there is only one way that it could happen. I suggest that fifty to one hundred merchant ships (and if the men are going to number in the millions it will be a lot more than this) will enter the United States at Seattle, San Francisco and maybe even Long Beach, California. (Do you suppose that this may be why they are closing down some naval bases in preparation for such a move?) I suggest further, then, they will off-load these men and equipment and transfer them to sealed boxcars and make up several trains in excess of 100 cars, and they will make their way to “Flaming Gorge” in Wyoming. (They could transfer the men and equipment already enclosed in container cars.) How many trains would it take to be equal to maybe fifty or one hundred ships (and probably much more)? It is interesting to note that this would be the logical route for these trains to take in order to make their way eastward. By the time they would arrive in the area of Flaming Gorge in Wyoming, there would be train after train for maybe up to fifty miles or more on both sides of the tracks. There might be several trains diverted to sidetracks in that area as they climb to higher and higher altitudes. Then, you can see, how timely an earthquake would be to block them from going forward or backward. They would be trapped in the pass of “cross over” on the “mountains” of Israel. Just how Yahweh handles it from here on is anyone’s guess, but there is none to survive!!! At this point, being blocked from both directions, they would try to take to the roads and highways, and this would be like, “a cloud to cover the land.” If this is all true, it will be the biggest Trojan horse operation ever pulled (almost) off!!! There is one other thing: Once the enemy has put foot on our soil, it will be impossible for us to use atomic weapons against him as we would be destroying our own people. We might reciprocate by using them against their homelands though, but will they find some of our people to use as hostages to prevent it? This type of attack is the only way the enemy could come to our shores totally undetected. This way, they could evade all satellites and radar, and it is still the only way they could move that large amount of equipment as described in the Scripture.

There are none so blind as those who will not see. Pull your head out of where it does not belong and open your eyes.
Sorry, I take that back. We’ve all been at some level of blindness at one time or another and it’s only by His grace that we are given eyes to see and ears to hear. Just open your eyes and seek the truth. Go to http://www.missiontoisrael.org and get those books recommended above to bigjoe.
Also, read what was linked by jeremymia above: “THE PROBLEMS WITH EZEKIEL 38 AND 39 & THE PROPHETIC ATTACK OF RUSSIA ON THE UNITED STATES By: Clifton A. Emahiser”
http://www.israelect.com/ChildrenOfYahweh/Emahiser/eze_38_and_39.htm
It’s a very good breakdown of those two chapters.
Статья оказалась очень примечательной, конечно, есть подозрения о состоянии психологического здоровья автора, но взаимосвязь фашистов Обамы и Путина даже в России очевидна. Мы, Русские считаем, что именно Путин предатель и агент США, и для этого есть основания. На пример, за 13 лет фактического управления Россией, преступных реформ Путина, русский народ недосчитался более 10 000 000 человек(численность коренного населения России по не официальным данным состовляет около 130 000 000 человек), убыль населения маскируется(компенсируется) потоком мигрантов, экономико-социальные условия таковы, что любой среднестатистический американец вымрет у нас в России за неделю, не более. Россия при Путине, как и США при Клинтоне или Обаме – это экономический, социальный и политический мыльный пузырь готовый лопнуть. Я не знаю на кого работает ваш Обама или наш Путин, но уверен на все 100%, что не на Россию и как выесняется, США.
Описанный автором сценарий маловероятен по ряду причин.
1. Основная территория США для России не представляет никого интереса.
2. США, не смотря на свою военную мощь, для России с 1970 года(год запуска в эксплуатацию проекта “ПОСЛЕДНИЙ ОТВЕТ”) не представляет какой-либо военной угрозы.
з. Союз России и Китая это как брак между кроликом и удавом, кто кого – вопрос времени. Это понимали в СССР и это понимают в Российской Федерации. Хотя идея хороша, но следует оговориться, что союз России и США еще лучше.
4. Россия в отличии от США никогда не нападет первой, таков наш русский минталитет, мы не агрессоры.
Однако, политика Путина действительно внушает некоторые опасения, частично подтверждающие теорию автора, но о нападении на США и речи быть не может. Наш сукин сын перевооружает вооруженные силы, точнее верные ему части, МВД, ФСБ, ФСО, Иностранного легиона(наемников) и Ракетно-стратегических войск, оснащая их новейшими, приемущественно наступательными средствами. Однако 2/з всех Вооруженных Сил Российской Федерации не подконтрольны Путину, лишины снабжения, их склады с боеприпасами рвутся, и они готовы в любой момент поднять мятеж. Так что, если Россия и готовится к войне то только к гражданской и амереканцам не за чем зря нервничать.
Теперь о коммунизме. Дорогие американцы ваше понимание коммунизма не соответствует действительности. Стоит начать с того, что коммунизм это не зло, а качественный скачек организации общественных отношений. Иными словами социальная эволюция в части межличтностных отношений и равноправном распределении ресурсов. Коммунизм не отвергает права частной собственности т.к оно заложенно в его основе на ряду с другими неотъемлимыми правами человека. К примеру в СССР было не мыслемым кого-либо лишить средств к существованию, жилья или вмешываться в частную жизнь, как это принято в капиталистических странах при этом следует учесть, что в Советской России был, в какой-то степени усеченный, социализм, а не коммунизм в чистом виде, то есть гибрид коммунизма и капитализма. Сказки о диспотичности советского правительства и о миллионах загубленных в лагерях людей полный бред, за весь период СССР, а это 80 с лишним лет, через тюрьмы и лагеря прошло не более 6-8 миллионов человек, за этот же временной промежуток через амереканские тюрьмы и лагеря прошло поменьшей мере 24 миллиона человек, а это уже самый настоящий элемент госудрственного террора.
Смешно до колликов, но панический страх амереканской финансовой элиты перед коммунистической “угрозой” полностью обоснован. Коммунизм представляет огромную опасность для тех кому сверхприбыль и власть основанная на деньгах дороже человеческой жизни. Отсюда антикоммунистическая пропаганда, ошибочность понимания и неприятия коммунизма в амереканском сознании, но не у всех американцев.
Так некоторые из ваших соотечественников разрабатывают собственные концепции коммунизма, из которых наиболее привлекательный с минимумом изъянов, экономический проект “Ресурсоорентированной экономики”.
….в общем это все, что я хотел сказать/написать.

The article was very notable, of course, there are suspicions about the state’s mental health, but the relationship Nazis Obama and Putin in Russia, even obvious. We, the Russian believe that Putin traitor and agent of the United States, and for good reason. For example, in 13 years of effective management of Russia, Putin’s reforms of criminal, the Russian people has missed more than 10 million people (indigenous population of Russia is not official data composes about 130 million people), population decline is masked (offset) the flow of migrants, economic- social conditions are such that any average American will die here in Russia for a week, no more. Russia under Putin, as the United States under Clinton or Obama – is the economic, social and political bubble ready to burst. I do not know who is working on your Obama or our Putin, but I’m sure at 100%, which is on Russia and how vyesnyaetsya, USA.
A self-described scenario is unlikely for several reasons.
1. The main territory of the United States to Russia does not pose any interest.
2. United States, despite its military might to Russia since 1970 (the year of commissioning of the project, “the latter replied”) does not pose any military threat.
h. Union of Russia and China, it is like a marriage between a rabbit and a snake, who will win – a question of time. It is understood in the Soviet Union and it is understood in the Russian Federation. Although the idea is good, but should be made clear that the union of Russia and the United States even better.
4. Russia, unlike the United States will never attack first, this is our Russian mintalitet, we are not aggressors.
However, Putin’s policy really inspires some fear, partly confirming the theory of the author, but an attack on the United States and out of the question. Our son of a bitch rearming the armed forces, more loyal of the Interior Ministry, the FSB, the Federal Security Service, the Foreign Legion (mercenaries) and the Strategic Rocket Forces, equipping them with the latest, priemuschestvenno offensive means. However, 2 / e of all the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is not controlled by Putin, Lisheen supply their ammunition depots are broken, and they are ready at any time to revolt. So, if Russia is preparing for war and then only to civil and amerekantsy no reason to be nervous for nothing.
Now about communism. Fellow Americans understanding of communism is not true. Let me start by saying that communism is not evil, but a qualitative leap organization of public relations. In other words, the social evolution of mezhlichtnostnyh relations and equitable distribution of resources. Communism does not deny the right of private ownership of the pledged it unnecessarily it is based on a number of other inalienable human rights. For example, in the Soviet Union was not to deprive anyone myslemym livelihood, housing or vmeshyvatsya of privacy, as it is in the capitalist countries, it should be noted that in Soviet Russia was, to some extent, truncated, socialism, and not Communism in its pure form, that is a hybrid of communism and capitalism. Tales of dispotichnosti the Soviet government and the millions of people slaughtered in the camps complete nonsense, for the entire period of the Soviet Union, and it is more than 80 years, in prison camps was no more than 8.6 million people over the same time period through amerekanskih prisons and camps was smaller least 24 million people, and this is a real element gosudrstvennogo terror.
It is ridiculous to kollikov, but panic amerekanskih financial elite in the communist “threat” is fully justified. Communism is a great danger for those who profit and power based on money more human life. Hence the anti-communist propaganda, incorrect understanding and rejection of communism in amerekanskih conscious, but not all Americans.
So some of your compatriots are developing their own concept of communism, of which the most attractive with a minimum of defects, the economic project “Resursoorentirovannoy economy.”
In general …. that’s all I wanted to say / write.
