CHRISTMAS DEPORTATION MIRACLE


“Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know…” Acts 2:22

In late 1992, “Wally” Magdangal, a Filipino Christian who for years had pastored a clandestine house church in Saudi Arabia, was arrested. His secret house church was unexpectedly penetrated by the “mutawwa”, the Saudi Arabian religious police.

Wally remembers reading in an Open Doors magazine about a small group in China that gathered weekly in the back room of a small store to worship together. It was the era of the infamous Cultural Revolution. Since the believers could easily be overheard by anyone entering the store, they “sang” hymns together without words or music. Someone whispered the name of the song and they would silently move their lips and simply think of the words and music.

Treasure Digest: Question and Answer: Why Doesn't Your Church Use the Symbol of the Cross?

What does the Bible say about the cross?

Answer:
Thank you for your interest. The Greek word translated as "cross" is stauros. It means the upright or stake portion of an instrument of execution that has been used in several cultures down through history. Sometimes executioners used a crosspiece at the top of or in different places on the stake; at other times, there was no crosspiece. It's impossible to know exactly what type the Romans used in the crucifixion of Christ. It is clear, however, that the Romans attached a sign over His head (Matthew 27:37), which could have been upon a stake or a crosspiece.

Because Christ's death is of such monumental significance to the Christian, some have mistakenly thought that the cross should be a part of Christian worship. But we should remember that it was an instrument of torture. When we stop to realize that fact, it should be clear that it's grossly inappropriate to wear it as religious jewelry or an object of worship. Some would argue that using a cross in this manner symbolizes the value of Christ's death. We disagree.

Roman Forms of Crucifixion

Crucifixion wasn't always carried out the way we've seen it typically depicted in paintings and pictures.

Crucifixion wasn't always carried out the way we've seen it typically depicted in paintings and pictures. In fact, as noted in this chapter, a crucifixion victim likely wasn't nailed through the hands, since their structure cannot support the weight of a human body. Most likely victims were nailed through the wrist or, in some instances, had their arms tied rather than being nailed.

Nor were victims always crucified on the kind of cross typically shown in depictions of Christ's crucifixion. Note what The Anchor Bible Dictionary says in its article on crucifixion:

VALUE DOUBTS AND MYSTERY

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

This is a scripture passage that many use in discipling new believers. The New International Version of the Bible footnotes this verse with the reminder that in the Greek language the word “temptation” or “tempted” can also mean “trial” or “testing.” It is a characteristic of the human condition that we often have doubts about God and we feel badly about them. But the story of Job in the Old Testament reveals that we should value our doubts because they bring God close.

Yamashita Treasure : Golden Lily Investigation


Golden Lily investigation

Mass Murder, Slavery, Torture, Lies, Misinformation and Human Misery on a Global scale.

The Rape of Asia

Golden lily was the codename given to a project instigated by the Japanese Imperial family. The aim of the project was to rape Asia of its precious metals and mineral resources to feed the industrial revolution back home and the wealth of the Imperial family.

In 1895 after the first Sino - Japanese war, Japan seized
Southern Manchuria and Formosa (Taiwan).
Japanese Yakuza gangsters used Manchuria for poppy production to subdue and further impoverish the local population.

Korea

In 1910 after decades of political interference and manipulation the Imperial Japanese army annexed Korea and the looting began in earnest, Palaces, Temples and Ancient Royal Tombs were  ransacked, stripped bare of their gold, silver and bronze artifacts and works of art.
Eyewitnesses to the looting say they even stole doorknobs from private houses. Any metal that could be of use to the imperial economy was looted, graded and then melted into ingots for transfer by ship back to the motherland.
Women and girls were kidnapped from their families and forced to work as comfort women (prostitutes) to service the Japanese army. Men and boys were conscripted into the army or forced to slave labor on the imperial family's further expansion plans.

Nobody knows how much gold and precious metals were in Korea and China at the turn of the 20th century. The accumulated mass of thousands of years of  collection and  refining in a region of the world which is abundant in natural deposits can neither be guessed at nor confirmed ... for the best part of 40 years the Japanese transferred unhindered, the bullion by ship to the motherland, to be hidden in giant vaults underneath the Imperial palace and underground storage facilitys in the mountains around Tokyo

Nan king

After Korea, China again felt japans aggression when they occupied all of Manchuria in 1931. Six years later they launched a full-scale invasion of China. Slaughtering, raping, looting and burning wherever they went.

The Japanese had the utmost hatred for the Chinese and this racism fueled one of the most outrageous incidents of the Second World War.  The rape of Nan king.  Commanded by Imperial Prince Asaka (Emporeror Hirohito's uncle) the Imperial Japanese army slaughtered more than 369,000 civilians and prisoners of war and raped and mutilated 80,000 women over a period of 6 weeks . While the soldiers went about their bloodlust Specialist teams of  looters stripped the ancient Capital City. The Japanese removed some 6000 tonnes of gold from Nan King's  treasury alone  and much more from the homes and offices of the leaders of Nationalist China

Singapore

On December 7th 1941 the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor and launch invasions of Thailand, Hong Kong, Burma, northern Borneo, Malaysia, Dutch East Indies, the Philippines and other Pacific islands. 2 months later. February 8th 1942 the Japanese attacked Singapore.

  
 RISING SUN

Singapore at the time was part of the British Empire. Some 90,000 British, Indian and Australian troops, as well as ex-pats with no combat experience were enlisted into the peninsula's defense. 100,000 soldiers and ex pats of various nationalities were taken prisoner, some 9,000 of these unfortunates died building the Thailand to Burma railway.


Meanwhile back in Singapore 50,000 Chinese was ethnically cleansed by the marauding Imperial army. This event was to become known as the Sook Ching Massacre (The term Sook Ching is chinese and means "a purge through cleansing". This operation was overseen by a certain
General Tomoyuki Yamashita.

Philippine's

The Japanese entered the Philippines through the Lingayen Gulf, Luzon. The allies declared Manila an open city and withdrew to the Bataan peninsula and Corrigidor Island. Banks and treasuries in Manila emptied their vaults of gold and precious metals for transfer to the Manilta tunnel on the fortress island of Corregidor.

After five months of withering violence Corregidor fell to the Japanese in May 1941.
The surviving 100,000 soldiers and ex-pats were stripped naked, divested of their personal effects and forced marched from Bataan to San Fernando in blazing sunshine some 65 miles away. 14,000 died on route suffering the effects of battle fatigue, dehydration  and malnutrition. Those who couldn't march any further were murdered on the spot.


The Japanese had no respect for the concept of surrender. Prisoners of war were treated to savage and deliberate cruelty, fed on a starvation diet, forced to work hard labor, often excavating caverns and tunnels in obscure locations throughout the Philippine Islands.  Never to be heard from again...

Bataan

It became impossible in 1941 for the Japanese to transfer the bullion to Japan by ship due to American submarine activity in the South China Sea .So it was decided by Golden Lily to hide the gold, gems and other treasures in secret locations throughout the Philippines.

 The Japanese were confident of holding on to the Philippines in the event of a peace treaty with the allies. So for the next two and a half years deep caverns (the size of Olympic gymnasiums) and intricate tunnel networks  were dug by prisoners of war to facilitate the storage of the treasure. When each site was completed, the prisoners were either murdered or buried alive with the treasure. The final inventory and sealing of the tunnels was overseen by Imperial Prince's Takeda and Chicibu who visited each of the estimated 175 Imperial treasure sites.

The Yamashita Treasure

Ming the Mechanic:
The Yamashita Treasure

The NewsLog of Flemming Funch
by Flemming Funch

Here's an article from Manila Times last month, in part about a book about what happened to the "Yamashita Treasure", a huge amount of gold that the Japanese army had looted and hid in the Philippines during WWII in various hidden places, managed by an elusive network called "Golden Lily", initiated by Emperor Hirohito, apparently.
Some of these repositories have been found. The key figure in their discovery was Severino Garcia Diaz Santa Romana (an alias), who was on the staff of General MacArthur’s chief intelligence officer, General Willoughby. Santa Romana saw a Japanese ship being unloaded and heavy boxes deposited in a tunnel whose entrance was sealed with a dynamite blast.

After the war, Santa Romana and then Captain Edward Lansdale of the OSS (the precursor of the CIA) tortured the driver of General Tomoyuki Yamashita, Japan’s last commander in the Philippines, into revealing some of the Golden Lily sites.

Hand-picked troops of the US Army Corps of Engineers opened about a dozen Golden Lily sites in valleys north of Manila. They found gold ingots “higher than their heads.”

Lansdale reported the find to MacArthur in Tokyo, who ordered him to brief Truman’s security adviser, Clark Clifford.

According to the Seagraves, MacArthur himself and Henry Stimson flew to Manila secretly to inspect the treasure caves. They concluded that the Golden Lily sites in the Philippines contained several billion dollars’ worth of gold.

In order to keep the discoveries secret, MacArthur decided to have Yamashita tried by a court-martial for war crimes and then hanged on February 23, 1946.

Lansdale was put in charge of the recovery of the Golden Lily treasures. The Seagraves aver that Santa Romana was instructed by members of Stimson’s staff to deposit the gold in 176 banks in 42 countries. The deposits were in his name or in one of his many aliases. Negotiable certificates were issued by the banks against the gold deposits.

It was this money, the Seagraves alleged, that the CIA used to buy politicians in Japan, Greece, Italy, the UK and many other countries around the world. It also paid for the secret rearmament of Japan after the outbreak of the Korean War.

In 1974 Santa Romana died. He left a hand-written will that named Tarciana Rodriguez and Luz Rambano, his common-law wife, as his heirs.

With the help of Melvin Belli, a San Francisco lawyer, Rambano filed a suit against John Reed, the CEO of Citibank, for the “wrongful conversion” of some $20 billion of Santa Romana’s gold. The case is still unresolved.

Tarciana is Luz's cousin, and was actually only mentioned for a small amount in Santa Romana's will. But it seems she succeeded in maneuvering things around so that it looked like she was due a lot more. And she's tried a lot of things to get hold of that, without success either. 

Anyway, an intriguing and hairy story, obviously. Torturing Yamashita's driver - that wasn't very nice Santa! 



Saturday, January 3, 2004 

I ran into this article about "Project Hammer - Covert Finance and the Parallel Economy". And, well, I'm always interested in good conspiracy stories and possible scenarios for what is going on behind the scenes. But here it sticks a little deeper, as I happen to know some of the players in the story. Project Hammer is apparently a high-yield investment program of gargantuan proportions that was run by intelligence operatives and shadey bankers. Dealing with amounts that, as it says, would challenge whatever reality you had about international banking, just by their fantastic and unbelievable amounts. Multi-trillion dollar funds.
"Research shows that gold recovered by the forerunner to the CIA--the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)--was deposited in Citibank (and many other banks, too), not in the name of the OSS or CIA but in the name of one of their operatives, Severino Garcia Santa Romana.

On his death in 1974, some--but not all--of Romana's "assets" appear to have been illegally acquired by former Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos, who was at one time Santa Romana's attorney. According to Santa Romana's widow, her husband gave Marcos a limited Power of Attorney for use solely in the Philippines, since he travelled abroad regularly. It seems that Marcos somehow made use of this to gain control over Santa Romana's gold and other assets.

It also appears likely, based on documents in this writer's possession, that considerable quantities of gold once held by Santa Romana were later placed under the control of former CIA covert operator Major-General Edward Lansdale. However, these assets were lodged with the Union Bank of Switzerland. Again, it is worthy of note that they were placed in Ed Lansdale's name, not in the name of a US Government agency. These assets are very clearly off the books.

Large quantities of gold held by Citibank remained in the account names of Severino Garcia Sta. Romana and José Antonio Diaz de la Paz (the latter being a well-known alias for Santa Romana) under reference codes "Fanerst King Fisher" and "Burgst Harbor King" respectively.3 These have been the subject of a legal wrangle between Santa Romana's heirs and Citibank's John Reed.

The fact that the gold held by Citibank and others may not have been in the name of the Central Intelligence Agency or the Federal Reserve--but, rather, was in Santa Romana's name--may have been all Citibank needed to wriggle out of a poorly crafted question."

Severino Santa Romana's widow's name is Luz Santa Romana. I've met her several times. Mindblowing of course that this frail little old philippino lady would be potentially the richest person in the world. She was the primary heir as well as the executor of the estate of Severino Santa Romano. We're talking about 1.3 trillion dollars in gold and cash in well-documented accounts. Yeah, ok, most "normal" people will instantly get overwhelmed with disbelief and will stop listening, after hearing such outrageous amounts and fantastic stories. But, well, confirmations keep appearing from many corners. And, personally, after spending time with some of the key people, my initial disbelief gradually turned into the realization that things probably were pretty much like they presented them. 

Luz re-married to Jim Brown, an American businessman who had already spent years researching such matters. And together they went to work on trying to access her inheritance. And they were having loads of problems with it. One time after another it was really close, but the bank pulled out at the last moment, suddenly deciding they needed another piece of paper that wasn't available. Or an assortment of other strange things happened. 

It isn't very strange of course. If we're talking about a behind the scenes operator, moving around large sums of ill-begotten wealth, which is used for dealing arms, covert operations, bailing out banks behind the scenes, etc, and some of the funds incidentally were still in his name when he died, it is not just going to be handed over to his little old widow in a plastic bag. Because the people who were using it didn't consider it his personally, whatever it said on the accounts. And the amounts are so large that they can only be moved around very carefully without crashing national economies. You can't just go and withdraw hundreds of billions of dollars and put them in a briefcase. Anyway, Jim and Luz didn't even succeed getting a few million withdrawn. Because, of course, if they succeeded at that, they could much better demand the rest. Besides, the point is that the funds mostly weren't there any more. They had been snatched up by some of the people who were used to playing with them, plus by some people who found ways of gettting their clammy hands on some of them, like Marcos. 

My reasons for being interested was in part that these were otherwise normal and pleasant people, and they were having problems they needed help with. Some rather weird, interesting and unusual problems, but still. Secondarily, in case they did happen to get access to even a portion of the lost billions, I could certainly think of ways of helping them flow them in good directions. I'm not thinking of myself, but rather, you could make a hell of an influential non-profit organization with just a very small chunk of the amounts we're talking about. So, in part what I did was to invite a group of people to think together about how one might do that, and how we could present it. And a team of dedicated folks worked for several months and came up with a draft plan for the New Civilization Foundation. The general idea was to support viable distributed alternatives to the oppressive and centralized way things otherwise are done. 

I handed the plan to Luz and watched her as she read it over carefully. She didn't blink over the suggested 10 billion dollar yearly budget. As a matter of fact she nodded and said she'd really like to support it, but she had to apologize that it unfortunately wasn't possible at that exact moment. 

It didn't particularly get much closer. Luz passed away now a couple of years ago. Jim is her heir, so in principle it is all in his hands. But increasingly unlikely. And he's tired of trying. So, he's concentrating on his book about the whole affair. Here
's the simple site I set up for him earlier. The book was initially the "insurance policy". He would publish it, with all the juicy details and names and documents, if the banks didn't cooperate. Well, they didn't and probably won't. And bringing the story to light is more where Jim is at now. The book has grown from the initial one volume to four volumes. He hopes to make the actual publishing happen shortly, and I'm working on a new version of the site for him.
