How America’s Police Became An Army: The 1033 Program
As many have noted, Ferguson, Missouri, looked like a war zone. And its police — kitted out with Marine - issue camouflage and military - grade body armor, toting short-barreled assault rifles, and rolling around in armored vehicles — are indistinguishable from soldiers.
America has been quietly arming its police for battle since the early 1990s.
Faced with a bloated military and what it perceived as a worsening drug crisis, the 101st Congress in 1990 enacted the National Defense Authorization Act.
Section 1208 of the NDAA allowed the Secretary of Defense to "transfer to Federal and State agencies personal property of the Department of Defense, including small arms and ammunition, that the Secretary determines is — (A) suitable for use by such agencies in counter-drug activities; and (B) excess to the needs of the Department of Defense." It was called the 1208 Program. In 1996, Congress replaced Section 1208 with Section 1033.
The idea was that if the U.S. wanted its police to act like drug warriors, it should equip them like warriors, which it has—to the tune of around $4.3 billion in equipment, according to a report by the American Civil Liberties Union. The St. Louis County Police Department’s annual budget is around $160 million. By providing law enforcement agencies with surplus military equipment free of charge, the NDAA encourages police to employ military weapons and military tactics.

Full Body Scanners
(A TSA Agent working for Homeland Security views naked full-body images.)
What are full-body scanners? Remember the X-ray specs of science fiction comics that would let people see through walls and clothing? Full-body scanners are a bit like them. The scanners take advantage of the fact that at certain wavelengths,
electromagnetic waves can pass through clothes but not through the skin, metal or substances such as drugs and explosives. If your eyes were sensitive to these wavelengths like the scanners, every person you meet would appear naked, with pens, coins, belt buckles and the like magically festooned about their person.
You would also be able to see if they were carrying a knife, gun or explosives.
What are the health concerns surrounding them? There are two main types of full-body scanner. One uses X-rays while the other uses lower-energy millimetre wavelengths.

The Coming False Prophet
A LAMB WITH TWO HORNS!
(Many believe that a pope will be the false prophet of Revelation 13: 11, and that this pope will unite the world's many faiths and then compel/force the masses to worship the antichrist. The time frame for this will be in the middle of the final seven year period.)
Pope Francis celebrated his inaugural mass among political and religious leaders from around the world.
Delegations from 33 Christian Churches and 132 national governments or international organizations, as well as Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist leaders, came to Rome for Pope Francis' inauguration mass. The Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, was among them. It was the first time that the top representative of the Orthodox Church had attended a papal inauguration since the split with Rome in 1054.
'And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH'. (Revelation 17:5) What will be the final form of Babylon the Great? We can be sure that the Whore:
(1) Will be personified as 'the False Prophet' (Revelation 16:13). Since Babylon the Great only rides the Beast, i.e., 'I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast [the Antichrist]' (17:3), she is not to be confused with the Beast himself.
