Dear friends in Christ,Thank you one and all for your prayers, words of encouragement and gi fts of support

for this ministry Jesus has called us to. It is greatly appreciated! You are greatlyappreciated!

I (Nancy-TONI) thought for this "Thank You" I'd share an article i read in TIMEmagazine and an article sent in by Arlene M. of Montana that gives an update on themilitia movement that came under such scrutiny and media attack under the ClintonAdministration. We have kept an eye on the developments and attacks on the militiamovement for the simple reason that in the vision that the Lord Jesus gave Chuck-JOHNEL about the invasion of America, he was shown that our regular army troopsfought terribly and were defeated while it was local militias that held their ground,offered stiff resistance and protected local communities.

These militias were not unlike those that existed during the Revolutiona ry Wartimes.These were militia in the traditional sense of the word. Today the Liberal Media andthose during the Clinton/Reno administration would have us believe that oleo-Nazi's andother white supremist or hate groups are "militia" but I don't consider groups like that tobe legitimate militia. The may be paramilita ry organizations but those that make up thelegitimate militia tend to be Constitutionalists, for the Bill of Rights, Christian and

balanced patriots. For them it's about freedom and trying to maintain our right to beararms to prevent tyranny and to maintain or get back our Constitutional form ofgovernment and personal liberties. All of the principles, rights and beliefs that are amajor threat and stumbling block to the Illuminati's plans.

It seems like the liluminati was working overtime during the Clinton years to eliminateall those that fell in these catagories. They started with the weak or less desirableelements in our society to gain our acceptance of their plans by attacking the likes ofRandy Weaver and his family and the Branch David ians - both circumstances centeringaround Christians but those in the outer fringes of the faith. They attacked those withextreme views that the main Church Body would not stand up for or defend and all thewhile the main Church Body stayed asleep, not realizing that just like in Nazi Germany,the enemy starts with the weak or extreme elements and then works their way in towardsthe mainstream.

It was also interesting to see when the Oklahoma City bombing occurred how quicklythen-President Clinton and the liberal media jumped on Talk Radio, the Militia and eventhose who home-schooled and blamed them for the bombing. This was all used as anexcused to pass more legislation and gun laws to further take away our freedoms and,I believe, to flush out and take the names down of those involved in the militia movementfor their files.

Since then, it seems that we haven't heard much about what happened to that "militiamovement" until recently when we received a copy of the "PATRIOT REPORT" and thenan article appeared in "TIME" magazine (both of which are enclosed for yourinformation). One thing that both articles confirm is that arrests have continued over thepast years and even more recently. I don't know enough about the individuals involvedto know if those arrests were warranted or not but it does smell fishy. The chargesagainst those listed in the TIME article are far more serious and deadly than thosementioned in the PATRIOT REPORT but then again, since the government and themedia consider the words "militia" and "terrorist" to be one and the same, I tend to readthe TIME article with a wary eye (in regards to the arrests mentioned). Were the arrestsmentioned there really legitimate militia or some hate/terrorist group? We don't know butagain, these articles are just for your information as an update on that movement weheard so much about in the Clinton years.

Lastly, I just wanted to qualify that white we do not agree with the bombing of Federalbuilding in Oklahoma City, we can understand some of the outrage that McVeigh wasfeeling towards the government and the fact that no one seems to be held accountable

for their actions. The fact that no one has been held accountable practically insures thatthe government forces will continue to overstep their bounds in the future and that thethreat or danger seen then has not entirely gone away. No doubt, the spiritual warfarewe are doing will have an effect here but just when it will surface and how, will remainto be seen.

Tired of Training forThe Apocalypse',The militia movement, which thrivedafter Oklahoma City, has hit the skids

NORMANOlson cuta sorry

7 figure as heannounced

the dis-bandingof hisNorthern

Michigan Regional Militiagroup last week. The man whomet with Oklahoma Citybombing conspirator TerryNichols in 1994 (but latercondemned the bombing) andwho predicted in 1995 that theConstitution would besuspended within two yearsended up suspending himself.Nobody was turning up any-more for his war gamesin the woods. "Theinterest just dwindled,"says Olson. "It was timefor the members to goon and do somethingelse—spend more timewith their families ortheir hobbies."

When TimothyMcVeigh bombed theAlfred P. Murrah .Federal. Building inOklahoma Ci ty in 1995, :_killing 168 people, M^?right-wing doomsayerssaw him as a Ieadinghorseman of the apoca-lypse. After the 1992shootout at Ruby Ridgeand the 1993 siege atWaco, suspicion offederal agencies and

gun-control initiatives ,..`reached paranoid lev-els. Within days of thebombing, conspiracy -theorists claimed thatthe Federal Gove rn -ment had caused the

1 1

explosions so that it

could justify new antiterroristlegislation. The number ofactive militia groups quadrupledin the year after Oklahoma City.A TIME cover story on the mili-

tia movement just after thebombing estimated that up-wards of 12 million Americans"respond to the patriot rhetoricabout a sinister, out-of-controlfederal bureaucracy." The finalreckoning was nigh.

But it never came. AsMcVeigh prepares for hisexecution on May 16, the mili-tia movement that identifiedwith his anti-government rageis dying off too. The last presi-dential election robbed themovement of two of its fa-

vorite villains: Bill C linton andAttorney General Janet Reno.Now middle-aged men whoused to tramp through forestsin fatigues and war paint areback in front of their TVs sip-ping beer and watching thegame. Nationwide, the num-ber of active militia groups hasplummeted, from a high of858 in 1996 to 194 last year,according to figures from theSouthern Poverty Law Center,the Alabama-based human-rights group. Dozens of web-sites that became infamousafter the Oklahoma Citybombing have gone blank."Tens of thousands of peoplegot bored waiting for the revo-Iution that never came," sayssILC spokesman Mark Potok.

Coordinated law enforce-ment also sapped strengthfrom the movement. Some 20states tightened laws againstso-called common-law courts,

through which disaffected citi-zens' groups had attempted tobypass federal authority overproperty and tax issues. At the

same time the Fsr was autho-rized to hire 500 new agents tocombat domestic terrorism,and a number of OklahomaCity copycat plans were de-fused. In the past two yearsmilitia leaders have been jailedfor plans to bomb power linesin Florida, federal buildings inMichigan and the Army base atFort Hood in Texas .

Lawsuits against the moreextreme groups have also takentheir toll. Last October, in acase brought by the sPLC, theAryan Nations white-suprema-cist group in northern Idaholost its 20 -acre compound nearCoeur d'Alene. The Aryans areplanning a parade with armedguards through the town thisJuly, but police expect an timili-tia protesters to outnumbermarchers 25 to 1.

Butch Razey, a cherry

farmer in Washington Statewho commands the 419thYakima County Militia, blamesthe slump on a lack of "Y2Ks oranything like that." The smoothturnover of the clocks on Jan. 1,

2000, was a blow tomany conspiracy-

V. 9 minded groups, which

had predicted global{ chaos. "After Y2K,"a says Potoly "there were

a lot of angry letters inthe extremist publi-cations saying, `You'vemade fools of us—wehave a basement full ofsupplies and nothing touse them for."' But ifthe militias are fading,some of their paranoidfervor lives on. Take

May/June 2001 The Present Truth/Patriot Report P.O. Bo g 386, Panama, OK. 74951

F PURGEOF PATRIOT LEADERS"This is a political motivated nationwide purge. These are politicalcharges where law abiding, patriotic, and America loving citizens

are being torn from their families and thrown into prison."

In the past few weeks several patriot leaders havebeen arrested and/or sentenced to prison terms ongun related charges. Mark Koemke, who madeseveral videos, including "America in Peril, whichexposed the conspiracy to confiscate firearms andinstall a one world government, was convicted offleeing arrest. He is being held in a Michigan jail untilsentencing, because he was deemed "a threat tosociety". Koernke's attorney believes he will getbetween 2 to 5 years for all the charges brought bythe federal prosecutors. Koemke began his expose'of the conspiracy in 1992 shortly after the Weaversiege in North Idaho. He went to Washington,DCwith the militia of Montana and other patriot leadersto express their opinions concerning theencroachment of a one world government and theloss of Constitutional rights. He tirelessly touredAmerica making speeches to packed out rooms forseveral years. He was high-lighted and defamed bythe liberal media, as the patriot movement grew instrength across the nation. He carried on a shortwave radio program on a daily basis for many years,exposing conspiracy facts to the nation. Without adoubt, he was one of the major thorns in the side ofthe New World Order conspirators. He sacrificed allhe had to stand against tyranny, even his own lifeand time with his family. For liberties sake, now hesits in jail.

A few weeks ago Dan Shoemaker was sentencedfor planning to protest gun laws in Illinois. Mr.Shoemaker is the author of the "Militiaman'sHandbook", and leader of an Illinois militia. Hewanted to prove that it was his Constitutional andlegal right to bring an unloaded rifle to the courthouse grounds and protest the recent lawsprohibiting possession of a firearm on the courthouse grounds. He was arrested a week before theplanned protest. He is now serving time in Federalprison on a felony conviction. Both Koemke andShoemaker have lost their right to vote and topossess a firearm. Neither of them harmed orthreatened anyone.

On March 1st in Oregon, patriot author andresearcher Fritz Springmier and his newlywed wifehad their home assaulted by an ATF swat team.They were handcuffed for 6 hours while the FBI andATF ransacked their home. The agents stole $1,400out of Mr. Springmiers wallet, seized 4 computers,and confiscated their hunting rifles. Other articlestaken were conspiracy research books, includingsubjects on Judaism. Even though Mr. Springrnierwas raised in an Amish community, was a lawabiding citizen, and had no militant tendenciesagainst the government, he was labeled in the newsmedia as a terrorist and neo-Nazi. To add insult to

cont. next page

gain and pleasing their senses, they no longer valueli berty and the patriotic culture established by ourfounding fathers. Ironically, this is the very thing JesusChrist wa rned against in the end times, so we would notbe "caught unaware".

We are living in dangerous times. It is extremelyi mportant that we avoid confrontation with a governmentthat is influenced and controlled by conspirators for worldsocialism. We shouldn't give excuses and reasons to theall powerful to come after us and use us as an example.These patriots that were a rrested, were exercising whatthey believed was their Constitutional rights, h ever,each one of them did something that was provocative thatalerted the authorities. When a person does somethingprovocative in this day and age, you can expect thiscontrolled government to go into action. it is a simple ruleof cause and effect. Each individual alone has to weighthe cost and consider if it is worth the sacrifice. What isright for one person. may not be right for another. Trying tomake conclusions for all citizens is impossible andimpractical, so I won't even try. There may be somealternatives to help turn this nation around, butunfortunately it is probably too late to try them. And toeven discuss them in whispers or to write about them isn ow illegal and dangerous. The truth is we no longerhave a Constitutional government, it is in exile, andthose who believe In it are now outlaws. George Eaton

TERRORIST ALERT

(cont. from front page)inju ry the Springmiers say that agents planted a bud ofma rijuana in the house, apparently to add more chargesto the arrests. It is clear they plan to isolate us, smear ourreputations, seize our assets, and add us to their businessof creating inmates for the prison industry. We ,tookforward to hearing from those who have enjoyed myresearch and supported my work to expose Big Brother'sagendas, corruption and tyranny." Springmier said in aletter. Spri ngmier has written numerous articles over theyears, most notably his 300 page book: "Top 13 IlluminatiBloodlines", published in 1995 and recently rated #1 inJapan.

These arrests, assaults and convictions are not isolatedcases. For several years the Federal governmentcontrolled by socialistic elements has been after militiaand patriot leaders. Multiply these three cases byhundreds and you would have a more accurate number ofhow many patriots have beer. am sled and. sentenced toprison the past 9 years, all because they were exercisingtheir Constitutional rights of free speech and ownership offirearms. These three instances are only the tip of theiceberg. The liberal media is not publishing on a nationallevel what is truly going on in each state regarding firearmconvictions. This is a_ politica l motivated nationwidepurge. These are political charges where law abiding,patriotic. and America lovirtQcitzensLcitzens are being tornfrom *hJir families and thrown into Rrison.

Those Americans who believe In the Constitution arefighting back with information in the NRA, Gun Owners ofAmerica, and through independent publications and radiobroadcast. But their efforts are being stifled by an allpowerful liberal oriented press, which mainstreamAmericans accept as gospel. The international bankersfinance the socialistic foundations and liberal causeswhich lobby congress to outlaw guns. These sameorganizations have unlimited funds to brainwash thepublic into giving up their guns, for the sake of thechildren and a safe society'. This is a blatantcommunist trick. This has been done before, so a tyrantgovernment can take over a nation, more "peaceably".Don't be footed by the liberal media's lies. There is nevera legitimate reason to give up your firearms, whichaccording to George Washington a re our liberty teeth.

Don't forget that the conspirators agenda to take thisnation and destroy our Constitution is still in effect. Thereins of power may have shifted to a more conse rvativeappearance, and the open agenda may be slower andbehind the scenes, but the agenda to destroy this nation'sliberty is still on -going, and the change agents for that A REVOLUTIONARY PARODYglobal government are still in Washington t rying to get There is a Northeast terrorist group operating in Northnew anti-Constitutional laws passed every week.

Lastly, I have the following sent in by Karen M. of Idaho. We did receive a phonemessage about this but Karen was kind enough to send us a copy of what was postedon Steve Shultz's website since it confirms the danger that President Bush is in. Hereother intercessors have also been shown that his life is in danger and are calling forprayer. Praise the Lord! The more prayers, the better!!

Oddly enough, just yesterday (May 17` u) a group of high school students and their adultchaperones were thrown out of the White House for stopping to pray for President Bushby a Secret Service agent. An apology was later issued but I wonder if they will changetheir policy following that incident or Keep it in place. We'll see. One thing is evident, theenemy of our souls sure doesn't want prayer going up for President Bush so he must bedoing something right!

God bless you and enjoy the rest of this "THANK YOU".

INTERCESSORS JOIN TOGETHER TO CALL FOR IMMEDIATEPRAYER FOR SAFETY OF PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH

AGAINST ASSASSINATION POSSIBILITIES

(Please forward to all the intercessors or friends who will pray NOW!!)

NOTE FROM STEVE SHULTZ, THE ELIJAH LIST

I have received MULTIPLE emails regarding the critical-ness inthis very hour to lift up our President George W. Bush forimmediate and continued prayers to protect his life. These callshave come from pastors, intercessors and respected propheticvoices, including pastor Gary King and Prophetic "voice"--Dennis Cramer.

You will read below about at least six intercessors in thelast few weeks who have gotten revelation that the President'slife was in danger. In addition, there is what has been calledthe "zero year curse" that several respected prophetic voiceshave confirmed is a real or distinct threat against the U.S.presidency.

It should be pointed out that INTERCESSORS FOR AMERICA andothers over the years have led prayers for the "breaking" of thisspecific curse (which you can read about below) over the UnitedStates presidency. But the burden of the Lord does seem to beappearing on this issue yet again.

So in agreement with the prayers of many in the prayer movement

PASE'?

--we at THE ELIJAH LIST also issue this following call to prayerwhich we should take quite seriously.

--- Steve Shultz, THE ELIJAH LISTPlease forward this to as many prayer warriors as possible!

CODE RED PRAYER ALERT

Many Americans rejoice in the election of our current President,George W. Bush. They feel that his election victory was a directanswer to prayer. Regardless of your political position, as a prayingChristian you certainly desire God's blessings to rest upon him, hisfamily, and his leadership of our nation.

THE TECUMSEH ZERO-YEAR CURSE

Last fall, many of us became aware of something called the TecumsehCurse, the 20-Year Curse, or the Zero-Year Curse. Legend has it thatafter the historic battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, Tenskwatawa, thebrother of defeated Shawnee Indian Chief, Tecumseh, sent GeneralWilliam Henry Harrison a written prophecy stating that if elected, hewould be the first U.S. president to die in office, and that every20-years thereafter, the newly elected president would die in office.Thus the white man would remember the death of his people.

Whether the legend is true or not, the following IS TRUE:

1840 - William Henry Harrison, died of pneumonia on April 6, 1841.1860 - Abraham Lincoln, assassinated on April 14, 1865.1880- James Garfield, assassinated on July 2, 1881.1900 - William McKinley,assassinated on September 6, 1901.1920 - Warren Harding, heart failure or food poisoning on August 2, 1923.1940 - Franklin Roosevelt, cerebral hemorrhage or stroke on April 12, 1945.1960 - John Kennedy, assassinated in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.1980 - Ronald Reagan, nearly killed by an assassin's bullet on March

Pa5e8

30, 1981.

There are at least two schools of thought.

One is that because President Reagan survived the assassinationattempt on his life, the curse appears to be broker.

The other is that there is a mathematical probability of 87.5%that President George W. Bush, elected in 2000, will die in office.

Earlier this year, Gary Bergel, of Intercessors For America, hassaid, "Warfare prayer is needed to cancel prophetic predictions beingmade by various astrologers and occult 'oracles' that 'the 2000-electmust die,' because of Zodiac 'conjunctions' and numerologicalcalculations purportedly showing o ous 'vectors' for the newpresident."

WITHIN LAST THREE WEEKS, SIX INTERCESSORS SEE BUSH ASSASSINATION--While the Bluebonnets were blooming

(Which must now be prayed against in Jesus' name)

We, at the U.S. PRAYER CENTER in Houston, Texas, have awonderful network of committed intercessors across the country. Manyof them pray fervently and faithfully for our president. In the pastthree weeks, six intercessors, who do not know each other, havereported to us written descriptions of dreams that they have had inwhich President George W. Bush appeared to have been assassinated.

NOW IS A CRITICAL TIME FOR INTERCESSION

One significant characteristic in many of the dreams was that theBluebonnets were blooming. The Bluebonnet is the Texas state flower,and they are presently in bloom and will continue to bloom until theend of May. Eddie and I see this as a critical time span for urgentintercession.

Just as America's Secret Service takes seriously every threat onour president's life, we who serve God as intercessory prayerwarriors must take these warnings seriously as well.

Therefore, we are asking that you pray earnestly for our president'ssafety. We feel that these dreams represent the urging of the Lordfor us to stay in a condition of "red alert prayer" for PresidentGeorge W. Bush.
