Hello Elle,

As we know, only God has the whole Truth, but the children of this world are often wiser than the children of light (Luke 16:8). Much prophecy is fulfilling, but only smooth things are heard from the pulpit.

Is Global Research a trustworthy news source? It publishes a diverse collection of articles from around the world relating to current events. As always, caveat emptor - buyer beware.

Last year on March 15th, 2008, I wrote here "Very soon, before the close of 2008, there will be massive upheaval in the global financial market."

Since I'm not viewing Wall Street from my corner office, my sources are those like Global Research. Both Canada's Prime Minister and Finance Minister said they "had no warning". And many a doubting Thomas was quick to ridicule any notion of a global freeze. But Sept 2008 was a mighty crash and the situation continues to erode, despite government spin. Millions have since lost their homes, unemployment & debt escalate.

Canada: Certainly, many of Canada's programs will follow the U.S. Our police and army have been integrating with American counterparts (Dept. of Homeland Security) for several years, especially in the area of civil disaster and counter-terrorism.

The timetable is really up to the pharmaceutical (vaccine) companies as far as one can see. The health threat from H1N1 seems negligible, (many reports claim this is a manufactured plague - and so God may have intervened to switch off our H1N1 receptor gene) and the main pushers of the hype are government agencies and their lobbyists, the pharma giants. When they have the vaccine ready for shipment, that's when the program will take place. It's all about the love of money. Can you think of a better secular business plan?
Influence the government to sell your product to every single citizen. Under force of law if necessary. Brilliant and very profitable. A real coup!

Unfortunately there will be side effects. In the 1976 swine flu vaccine program in the U.S., hundreds were paralyzed with Guillan-Barré syndrome. More were hurt by the vaccine than by the flu itself.

So pray for the police, soldiers and health care workers who may be unwittingly forced (by their position) to administer harmful vaccine cocktails.

Those hardest hit by H1N1 seem to be immuno-compromised individuals, like our native peoples in their forced relocation camps. So the solution is NEWSTART and a return to simple living.

But yes, it's coming quite fast. Where are the watchmen?

The core of things you prophecied in that post have yet to manifest themselves as we speak.

Whether it's a real threat, an engineered threat or whatever

there is one thing that seems important --

EGW wrote "OUT OF THE CITIES"
it appears those who follow that counsel and don't go traveling to the cities in the next couple months have a decided advantage.

We will see..

(if all adventist follow that advice, who will then preach the 3 angles message to the great majority of the worlds people who live in cities?)

When I was in school you had to have a note from the parent in order to receive a vaccine of any type. Wonder if kids will be given vaccine without permission?

I have never taken a flu vaccine myself, but have given the injections. Always asked if the person was allergic to chicken, feathers, or eggs.

The elderly are always encouraged to get the "flu shot". A thought that has entered my mind on more then one occasion is that if a government wanted to get rid on an aging population, adding something to a mass vaccination program would be the way to go.

An important thing to remember with colds and flu is to keep the person well hydrated. Young children are especially susceptible to dehydration.

There is a new product being marked to replace sports drinks for athlelets that is suppose to help with hydration. Reddrox This is product marketed as Reddrox, and comes in a packet that you add to 18-24 oz. of room temperature water, shake, and watch REDDROX dissolve. You can also purchase in the liquid form in a bottle. I haven't tried it in these forms, but can see how they would be handy to have on hand when you don't want to a wait for a brewing of Rooibos that have been drinking off and on this past summer. I seemed to have more energy when I drink it.

Thanks, Crater, for that news break on Reddrox.

I grew up on Rooibos (just in case...: pronounced "roy-boss", with the "o" as in "or" and "oar") tea, as am South African by birth, and still swear by it after being in the UK, land of half my ancesters, for 20 years now. Rooibos is Afrikaans, for Redbush, if that wasn't obvious already.

Rooibos isn't automatically liked round the world, because of its very mild peppermint aftertaste, I've been told personally. Yes, it is brilliant, and an SDA staple in SA, as well as in England. I thought of Rooibos when It's indigenous to the Western Cape, too, if that isn't well known here, yet, and was used by the tribal folk there before white immigrants arrived and took up the habit, a healthy habit.

Two very small facts, on the side - since my last line there would possibly have raised ire against us Afrikaners (that's the other half of my ancestry) for our collective, recent 'past': the tribes of SA, that's all the blacks - there is no ethnic majority in SA - immigrated to SA at most 150-200 years or so before the whites came 'to town', in 1652. Also, the fact that Afrikaans is the leading language in Nambia, too, is down to the first black migrants, not the whites, there.

I'm angered by the suppression round the world of South African culinary inventions and exports while the white government produced the best standard of living for blacks in all of Africa. That's not as bad politics, though, as the current support for the marxist ANC: South Africa's Christian heritage is being suppressed, now..., but at least some good keeps moving, like Rooibos being exported more and more.

Incidentally, on the ground, life is happy and prosperous in SA, since crime only tries to break in to prosperous areas but generally stays away: life is normal unless you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, for 5-10 seconds.

It's very good to be reminded of Rooibos' nutritional qualities, too.

Our natural hydrating drink here is coconut water, also marketed as a sports drink because of its high potassium and mineral content.
