This is the result of cyber attacks, which may well foreshadow the approach of something far more ominous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Throughout March until mid-April, 2009, this website experienced similar attacks, although not so much down time. This was no coincidence. At the time Russia warned Iran that its surveillance satellites had spotted Israeli preparations to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.presstv.ir\/detail.aspx?id=92425&amp;ionid=351020104\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">strike a large military air-show north of Tehran<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Iran promptly cancelled the display and dispersed its aircraft; thereby preventing a repeat of the 1967 Arab\/Israeli War when Israel destroyed most of Egypt\u2019s Air Force while it was still on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Had those strikes gone ahead in April we would now be engaged in a full blown global conflict. And whoever was behind the cyber-assaults wanted to ensure that few were alerted to its approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">That was not the end of it for although the attack on Iran was postponed it is still very much in the pipeline. And whenever it starts it will not be confined to a bust-up between Israel and Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">A psychic friend, who accurately foresaw the invasion of Iraq and the aborted April attack, still sees war with Iran ultimately leading to a world war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Given that its continued emergence as a global power depends on Iran\u2019s oil and gas, China has every reason to ensure that they don\u2019t fall under Western control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Likewise, Russia has growing ties with Iran and as we\u2019ve outlined elsewhere, Western military chiefs<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=9650\"> <\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=9650\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>met secretly late last year to draw up contingency plans<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"> for large scale military operations, somewhere, in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">So the clock is still ticking toward World War III.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Together with the start of a rapidly escalating conflict with Iran, anticipate a widespread civil clampdown on both sides of the Atlantic. With the possible imposition of martial law leading to opponents of the war being rounded up and interned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Along with this we may also see a program of compulsory vaccination. Indeed moves are already underway for <\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=11434\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">enforced vaccinations<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=11434\"> <\/a>across the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/article.asp?ID=11307\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">U.S.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">The <\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=11378\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>prospect of epidemics<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=11378\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>is <\/strong><\/span>being used to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.propagandamatrix.com\/articles\/september2009\/091709_vaccine_refusniks.htm\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">promote this<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"> while <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=11408\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">natural preventative measures are being ignored<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">. And real or contrived, the threat of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/026934_health_public_health_quarantine.html\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">epidemics could very easily be used to impose mandatory inoculations<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Coupled with this there is a growing recognition that our political leaders do not serve the \u201cwill of the people\u201d. As this realisation spreads they are upping the ante. Hence moves are underway to initiate war with Iran and use the escalating conflict to impose a clampdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Despite the best efforts of their spin-doctors however, the REAL face of political power is becoming evident. Our leaders are not \u2018servants of the people\u2019 but actors in a charade staged in collusion with the corporate media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">This is now obvious in the likes of Obama and Brown, who are effectively no different from their predecessors. Media pundits may make much of supposed political differences but essentially they all follow the same game plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">There is however one new element in world affairs that few have recognised although it was prophesied long ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Muslims refer to him as <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dajjal\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Dajjal<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">,<\/span><\/strong> literally the impostor messiah, while the ancient<strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> <\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Angra_Mainyu\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Persian Zoroastrians<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Angra_Mainyu\"> <\/a>foretold of a dark and destructive messiah they referred to as Ahriman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">In the early 20th century, Christian esoteric teacher and researcher Rudolph Steiner also spoke of Ahriman. He would, said Steiner, emerge in the early 21st century in North America and his incarnation would be in distinct counterpoint to Christ\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/tts\/ahriman_carved_by_steiner.jpg\" alt=\"Ahriman's head carved by Steiner\" \/>In fact most Christians now know him as the &#8220;anti-Christ\u201d. So here it is appropriate to outline some of his characteristics as described by Steiner because, yes, we think we\u2019ve spotted him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Otherwise known as Satan, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.doyletics.com\/arj\/landarvw.htm\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Ahriman is distinct from Lucifer<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">. Although the two often work in tandem their methods are different. Whereas Lucifer works in ways suggested by words derived from his name \u2013 i<em>llusion<\/em>, de<em>lusion<\/em> and the false light of counterfeit spiritual i<em>llumination<\/em> \u2013 Ahriman seeks to entomb mankind entirely in the physical realm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Hence, Ahriman is in his element in hard scientific materialism, which at its most extreme claims that there is nothing beyond physical reality. He is at home in statistics, quantitative proof, material greed and rampant consumerism; while intellectually he can be found in a literal interpretation of religion, in technology and in the sphere of commerce and business, particularly in banking and high finance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">According to Steiner, Ahriman\u2019s incarnation is only part of a cycle spanning millennia. Lucifer incarnated in China in the third millennium B.C. then came Christ and now we are about to witness the third and final act, although many will not live to see its finale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Nonetheless Steiner was at pains to point out that we should not flee from what is approaching. Instead we should learn from it because what about to unfold is a coming of age lesson for humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Just as we cannot entirely dismiss the qualities embodied by Ahriman \u2013 hard logic, monotonous and routine reality, sensory bound materialism, quantifiable science \u2013 we cannot reject those expressed by Lucifer either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Luminous imagination, subconscious wisdom, flights of fantasy, gnosis and other impulses inspired by Lucifer play a vital role in human life. The critical point, said Steiner, was to find a balance: in effect create a synthesis between those qualities embodied by Ahriman and those expressed by Lucifer and to do that a third force is required \u2013 the Christ force.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Here it should be noted that most of what is called \u201cChristianity\u201d today \u2013 be it the papacy in Rome, \u201cChristian Zionism\u201d or the Church of England \u2013 is now so divorced from its roots as to be detrimental to genuine Christian impulses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Even so, real Christian impulses will be vital in dealing with Ahriman in his current incarnation. Nonetheless at the risk of disappointing readers, I\u2019m not going to name him \u2013 that\u2019s for you to fathom. But I am going to leave a couple of pointers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">First of all expect the pace toward conflict with Iran to quicken in <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/hostednews\/ap\/article\/ALeqM5hok_IL3TuKVzk2iH3cfUW1wopatQD9AF962G0\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">the coming months<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Obama has done his <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/commentisfree\/2009\/aug\/31\/obama-iran-olive-branch\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">reaching out toward Iran<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">, acting the role of the \u2018good guy\u2019 while studiously ignoring Israel\u2019s own nuclear weapons, which is what prompted Iran\u2019s alleged nuclear weapons program in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong>IF<\/strong> indeed it has one.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">And make no mistake: <\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Israel is pushing relentlessly<\/span><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"> to eliminate the supposed threat posed by Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">We may even see another false flag like 9\/11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Whatever happens, the pace of events will quicken along with a change in the tone of diplomatic dialogue. The talk will no longer be about discussions and negotiation but of ultimatums with the looming threat of a military showdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">In fact this has already started. Carl Bildt, Sweden\u2019s Foreign Minister, a key player in the European Union and long time <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/search?hl=en&amp;source=hp&amp;q=Carl+Bildt+Bilderberg&amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;meta=&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Bilderberger<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">, has declared that if Iran wants confrontation then <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=11449\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">\u201c<strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">confrontation will happen<\/span><\/strong>\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">When it begins expect to see a relative unknown step-up to a key position in the U.S. administration. The post may not even exist yet, just as the Department of Homeland Security didn\u2019t before 9\/11. Whatever it\u2019s called though he will be responsible for coordinating the war effort, overseeing internment camps, vaccination programs and the like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">It\u2019s here that Ahriman will come into his element. Watch for someone relatively young (35 to 40) with a background in science and finance. Be alert to the possibility that initially he will also be acknowledged as a saviour of some sort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Although not acclaimed for spiritual achievement, he will almost certainly be hailed for putting together a scientific or economic rescue package. He may even be credited with helping reverse the current economic downturn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Like any conjuring trick though it will be an illusion, a ruse used to elevate him to higher levels of power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Ahriman\u2019s underlings have now assumed pivotal positions around the world and he\u2019s already appeared briefly in the public arena. This was simply to establish him, <em><strong>subliminally<\/strong>, as a figure of authority. Although few recognised him he will soon reappear to do what was ordained thousands of years ago. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Instead of a promised economic revival he will bring only profits for the arms industry. This is a particularly fitting given that it is an area of activity where Ahrimanic leanings are prevalent, especially in the high tech sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">For centuries his disciples have secretly prepared for this incarnation. From the birth of an industrial revolution driven by science and desire for profit, to a consumer society founded on greed and materialism; the ground has been readied for Ahrimanic impulses to take root and flourish, as unwitting humanity has been set up for his arrival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Now on the eve of his grand debut a huge war is being prepared: a suitable backdrop for him to step up and take command as, almost literally, all hell breaks loose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Finally let me repeat: look for someone with a background in banking, economics, science and advanced technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Across the world things are moving. We are heading to a war of unprecedented magnitude, bigger than the last two world wars put together. The world as we know it will be transformed and presiding over the carnage will be a \u201cdark messiah\u201d long foretold.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The clock is ticking toward war, domestic clampdown and the long foretold appearance of a \u201cdark messiah\u201d.
