1 out of 6 Americans depend on programs for poor

Many Americans are falling deeper into depths of poverty.

WASHINGTON — The percentage of poor Americans who are living in severe poverty has reached a 32-year high, millions of working Americans are falling closer to the poverty line and the gulf between the nation’s “haves” and “have-nots” continues to widen.

A McClatchy Newspapers analysis of 2005 census figures, the latest available, found that nearly 16 million Americans are living in deep or severe poverty. A family of four with two children and an annual income of less than $9,903 — half the federal poverty line — was considered severely poor in 2005. So were individuals who made less than $5,080 a year.

The McClatchy analysis found that the number of severely poor Americans grew by 26 percent from 2000 to 2005. That’s 56 percent faster than the overall number of poor people grew in the same period. McClatchy’s review also found statistically significant increases in the percentage of the population in severe poverty in 65 of 215 large U.S. counties, and similar increases in 28 states. The review also suggested that the rise in severely poor people isn’t confined to large urban counties but extends to suburban and rural areas.

The plight of the severely poor is a distressing sidebar to an unusual economic expansion. Worker productivity has increased dramatically since the brief recession of 2001, but wages and job growth have lagged. At the same time, the share of national income going to corporate profits has dwarfed the amount going to wages and salaries. That helps explain why the median household income of working-age families, adjusted for inflation, has fallen for five straight years.

These and other factors have helped push 43 percent of the nation’s 37 million poor people into deep poverty, the highest rate since at least 1975.

 

States with the most people in severe poverty:

California: 1.9 million

Texas: 1.6 million

New York: 1.2 million

Florida: 943,670

Illinois: 681,786

Ohio: 657,415

Pennsylvania: 618,229

Michigan: 576,428

Georgia: 562,014

North Carolina: 523,511

Vatican Writers Reveal Devious Plans For America’s Takeover In “Project Vatican”

The 18 page booklet talks about a five step plan that started 523 years ago.
     

The Vatican has issued a little known booklet for their private eyes only called ‘Project Vatican.’ The document was originally listed on one of their web sites at www.projecttv.nventure.com, but the site now has been removed.

The internal document is a blueprint for the “restoration of the global kingdom of Jesus Christ in the third millennium.” Contained within the booklet is also the Vatican’s plan for the domination of America, listing their goals and true evil purposes.

Although the booklet has been kept from prying eyes, Brother R.G. Stair of The Overcomer Ministry has obtained a copy, placing it on his web site at www.overcomerministry.org The document was forwarded to Stair by Brother Mark Hodgson in October 2006.

“This is a revealing document of the Vatican’s true purposes,” said Brother Stair on his web site. “Project Vatican is dedicated to the restoration of the Global Kingdom of Jesus Christ in the third millennium.”

The Vatican blueprint of world domination has a five-prong approach, including (1) the Jesuit infiltration of the English colonies on the North American continent; (2) Jesuit control of Christian schools and universities; (3) Roman Catholic Control exercised through Vatican operatives in the United States military, judiciary and media; (4) The weakening of the U.S. military, both in strength and resolve, in preparation for the Vatican-led One World Government; and (5) Total control of all institutions and resources on earth, including political, military, economic, educational systems for the purpose of ensuring global peace, prosperity and order.

“Phase 1 through Phase IV have taken 523 years to complete and at the dawn of the third millennium is poised to launch Phase V. This will necessitate cooperation of the citizens of every nation on the planet on a massive scale and in previously untested numbers,” said the Vatican writers’ introduction to Project Vatican.

The writers of the 18 page booklet dedicated their efforts to Phase V, saying strategies have been in full effect albeit for varying lengths of time. Further, they claimed the execution of their first strategy of Phase V began more than 150 years ago, the strategy being listed as “Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary through the perpetuation of visions, miracles and revelations.”

Other strategies under the Vatican’s Phase V for world domination include:

__ Dilution of the eschatological models of Biblical prophesy.

__ The alignment of the homosexual agenda with religious and racial equality, guaranteeing a support base sufficient in number to Biblical Christian fundamentalism into the category of “hate speech.”

In the core section of this point, Vatican writers reveal how they plan to obtain loyalty to the Pope, saying “The Protestants’ lack of a governing authority has resulted in a sheep-like obedience to civil governments. Such social compliance, coupled with capitalistic greed has made Christian fundamentalists extremely vulnerable to social engineering.”

__ International monopolistic control of all financial institutions and transactions. This began January 1, 1993 with the creation of the European Roman Empire (ERE). Visa Corporation is poised to label every citizen with identifying barcode technology.

Regarding the global financial takeover and VISA, Arctic Beacon reader Greg Colon added:

“Brethren are you aware about the Visa card?  Info source Project: Vatican

VI  – Roman numeral     = 6
S   – Egyptian symbol   = 6  = we perish = anyone who takes the mark on hand or forehead

A   – Sanskrit               = 6

“There is a long story to how this info originally came into my hands. What happened was one of the residents on my property asked me to hang a picture for her but it had to be on my time not the companies. She showed me a picture of what is known in Catholic circles as the sacred heart of Jesus and Mary. She was told that she would have info in black and white in her hands by Monday explaining that it is the heart of Baal not Jesus.

“This happened on Friday afternoon and that night by the leading of the Holy Spirit according to Ps. 32: 8 the information on Project: Vatican was in my hands. The original source is not available any longer. This one was just furnished by the Holy Spirit. We have to lift Jesus even higher in these last days for He will draw all men unto himself.. 888 = Jesus, greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world = 666 This is a short version of the incident but it needs to shared now.”

__ The global Eucharistic community, meaning with rampant materialism, environmental destruction and military instability of the capitalist systems, the Vatican backed Roman Catholic Ecumenical Assemblies (RCEA) will be in the position to compel international compliance to Eucharistic adoration and communion…The Global Eucharistic Community (GEC) was formally invoked by the Vatican on Dec. 31 1999, which will preside over the WTO, the GEC and RCEA.

The last section tells Vatican loyalists what they can do in order to speed-up Rome’s plans, adding “Attend non-Catholic churches that are not yet RCEA affiliates for the purpose of encouraging their ministries to join the RCEA. Make audio recordings of their responses and deliver these recordings to your RCEA representative. Report all statements by non-Catholics of a racially-biased, homophobic or anti Catholic nature to your RCEA representative.

US funds terror groups to sow chaos in Iran

By William Lowther in Washington DC and Colin Freeman

From ICH

02/25/07 “Sunday Telegraph” — – America is secretly funding militant ethnic separatist groups in Iran in an attempt to pile pressure on the Islamic regime to give up its nuclear programme.

In a move that reflects Washington’s growing concern with the failure of diplomatic initiatives, CIA officials are understood to be helping opposition militias among the numerous ethnic minority groups clustered in Iran’s border regions.

The operations are controversial because they involve dealing with movements that resort to terrorist methods in pursuit of their grievances against the Iranian regime.

In the past year there has been a wave of unrest in ethnic minority border areas of Iran, with bombing and assassination campaigns against soldiers and government officials.

Such incidents have been carried out by the Kurds in the west, the Azeris in the north-west, the Ahwazi Arabs in the south-west, and the Baluchis in the south-east. Non-Persians make up nearly 40 per cent of Iran’s 69 million population, with around 16 million Azeris, seven million Kurds, five million Ahwazis and one million Baluchis. Most Baluchis live over the border in Pakistan.

Funding for their separatist causes comes directly from the CIA’s classified budget but is now “no great secret”, according to one former high-ranking CIA official in Washington who spoke anonymously to The Sunday Telegraph.

Eugene V. Debs, Anti-War Speech

From ICH

” It is extremely dangerous to exercise the constitutional right of free speech in a country fighting to make democracy safe in the world…..

These are the gentry who are today wrapped up in the American flag, who shout their claim from the housetops that they are the only patriots, and who have their magnifying glasses in hand, scanning the country for evidence of disloyalty, eager to apply the brand of treason to the men who dare to even whisper their opposition to Junker rule in the United Sates. No wonder Sam Johnson declared that “patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.” He must have had this Wall Street gentry in mind, or at least their prototypes, for in every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the people…..

Every solitary one of these aristocratic conspirators and would-be murderers claims to be an arch-patriot; every one of them insists that the war is being waged to make the world safe for democracy. What humbug! What rot! What false pretense! These autocrats, these tyrants, these red- handed robbers and murderers, the “patriots,” while the men who have the courage to stand face to face with them, speak the truth, and fight for their exploited victims—they are the disloyalists and traitors. If this be true, I want to take my place side by side with the traitors in this fight.
