GUANTANAMO BAY – Island Paradise to USA’s Torture Island…

From island paradise to Torture Island – that is how the USA
turned Guantanamo Bay into hell for Muslim detainees. Of the more than 700
detainees, not prisoners; 149 remained, and only 5 are considered high profile
who, after more than 10 years, are still waiting to be tried. The USA’s government
is absolutely sure that if the remaining prisoners are released, they will
join jihadist groups and will probably kill the first American they find in
the street anywhere. Imagine – if you are innocent and being tortured, you will
swear by God that if you come out of it alive, you will kill the first American you
find. Justice is human nature. The US government cannot risk letting them go. To
deceive human rights groups, the US army holding the detainees has stopped using
the word “Hunger Strike”. Instead, it uses “non-religious prolonged fasting” to
refer to hunger strikers who are being force-fed, another form of torture to
keep them alive.

QUESTIONS OF BELIEF: to move or not the prophet’s grave…

When you are dead, your remains become an inanimate object
that will eventually succumb to the whims of nature. I disavow any form of
extremism except one: the oneness of God. I made many trips to Mecca in the
last 30 years that I have been in the Kingdom, but not once did I kiss the black stone
nor even attempt to do so for one reason only – I feel uncomfortable with the
mere thought of touching, even more so with kissing any object for religious
reasons. I think that the act will make me no different from idolatrous
religions.

Shock is a strong word to use, but that is how I felt when I
went to Medina for the first time and found the grave of the Prophet inside the
Mosque with people praying around it. I knew that it was forbidden in Islam to
bury the dead inside a mosque, so I later searched for the Prophet’s grave
happened to be where it is.

The story goes that when the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.)
passed away; his family and friends agreed after proper consultation to bury
him right where he breathed his last – inside his house. The house is close to
his mosque, so as time passed by and Islam evolved to where it is today, so
did his mosque expand, which eventually encroached upon where he was buried, meaning it was not intentional that his grave happened to be inside the mosque.
Maybe now is the time to move it.

Personally, moving the grave to an unmarked grave is the
right thing to do.

Saudis risk new Muslim division with proposal to move Mohamed’s tomb - Middle East - World - The Independent:

One of Islam’s most revered holy sites – the tomb of the
Prophet Mohamed – could be destroyed and his body removed to an anonymous grave
under plans which threaten to spark discord across the Muslim world.

The controversial proposals are part of a consultation
document by a leading Saudi academic, which has been circulated among the
supervisors of the al-Masjid al-Nabawi mosque in Medina, where the remains of the
The Prophet is housed under the Green Dome, visited by millions of pilgrims, and
venerated as Islam’s second-holiest site. The formal custodian of the mosque is
Saudi Arabia’s ageing monarch, King Abdullah.

Back to the “END OF THE WORLD”

I have written many and read volumes about prophecies of the ‘End Times’ by different seers, both those considered genuine and those not-so-believable—recapping my thoughts is daunting.

I lost files. I wish I had kept them in a more secure location, but with desktops and laptops breaking down and getting corrupted, complete recovery is out of the question, as all files go puff.

I went to Google, where some of my lost files could be lurking in the cyber universe, but with 6,500 results for ‘acson005’ and 7,220 for ‘Nosca Khalid,’ I gave up. If not for Google’s bloggers' blogs, the things I have written would be a big, disorderly mess. Although I was a latecomer to blogging, I have posted 660 blogs in just over 2 years and viewed them 71,801 times.

Anyway…prophecies, if you have the acumen to connect the dots, are like the pages of a book with torn pages falling into the hands of people of different ages. Imagine a book, not The Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking, but the real one whose torn pages God scattered through time. 

http://beyond666-acson005.blogspot.com/2011/05/un-resolution-666beginning-of-end.html

When, in September of 1990, I read the passage of UN Resolution 666 in the news, my world changed forever. Not only did I discover in the ensuing time that the United Nations is the Biblical Beast 666 – I found that the most significant sign of all, the New Jerusalem that 2 billion of planet earth’s denizens are waiting for, is the Haram Mosque in the Holy City of Mecca and that is not counting the 1.5 billion Muslims that face towards it 5 times a day in worship. If and when Christians finally see the light of Mecca, the New Jerusalem that the Bible speaks of, half of humanity that walks the surface of the earth will face toward it in prayer.

http://beyond666-acson005.blogspot.com/2011/06/mecca-new-jerusalem-fulfilled.html

Although I had read the four Gospels of the Bible long before 1990, I had not read the Book of Revelation. On the same day that I read UN Resolution 666 in the news, I borrowed a bible from a friend and read the Revelation. I was so shocked by what I found – I ended up reading the bible in its entirety. It is how I discovered that Israel’s claim to the Promised Land is bogus because Isaac, the forefather of the Jews, was not a party to the covenant of the Promised Land. How could he; he was not even born when the land of Canaan was promised by God to Abraham and his son Ishmael. The Jews' only right to the Promised Land is their being a part of Abraham’s generation. It doesn't give them more rights or the sole right to live in what is now Palestine. Stranger still, if Ishmael was present, it goes without saying that the covenant of the Promised Land occurred in Mecca or wherever Hagar and her son lived at that time. 

People are not aware that minor and significant signs of the End Time have already been fulfilled, but there are some that I thought were still remote until the rise of ISIS. It’s why I am returning to the “End of the World.”

Witnesses said that the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) turned pale while describing his vision of the Dajjal. He foretold that the Dajjal would declare its intention to invade Mecca and Medina, but both places would be guarded by ‘angels.’ I thought then that for this prophecy to come true, there would have to be a worldwide conflagration, something like a full-blown World War III. Iraq was far from my mind.

Before Saudi Arabia became a nation-state (1933), Mecca and Medina were administered by the Caliph. I will not be surprised if, one of these days, the self-declared Caliph of ISIS will declare its intention to wrestle control of Mecca and Medina from the ruling family of Saudi Arabia. If you look at the map, you will see that the city of Medina is not very far from the Iraq border. They can simply cross the border and march towards Medina, and when that happens, the end of the world, as we know it, will no longer be a rumbling thunder in the distance. Jesus, son of Mary, will reappear and slay the Dajjal. With Jesus’ second coming comes new knowledge that will completely change the world as we know it. Jesus, according to Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), will break the cross, get married, build a family, and be with us for 40 years. He will be buried in Medina, meaning Jesus’ second coming, contrary to Christians’ belief, does not signal the physical annihilation of planet Earth, not yet. 

There is a catch—if Time Travel is not possible, Jesus’ second coming will remain a myth that will never happen. With Jesus comes the knowledge of journeys in time that will forever transform our understanding of the universe beyond our wildest imagination.

PARALLEL UNIVERSE: The Rise of the Taliban and the ISIS…

I can compare the rise of ISIS to the increase of the Taliban. When the “Taliban” rode into Kabul, engaging and finally dislodging the Northern alliance from Kabul in lightning speed, the world withheld their breath – who are these people, and where did they come from? Where did they get their advanced armaments, and who is bankrolling them. Only later did we learn that they were armed by the USA, paid for by KSA and that they were the children recruited from refugee camps inside Pakistan and kept in boarding schools where they were taught an extreme interpretation of Islam. They were trained in the art of the kill, aka Universal Soldiers, by the best of the CIA. Fortunately or unfortunately, by the time they were old enough to fight – the Russians abandoned Afghanistan. The Northern Alliance, who were then lording it over in Kabul after the Russians, were pro-Iranian Mujahideen that USA/Pakistan/KSA did not like a bit, so they sent in the Taliban, and – the rest is history. Ironically, when the USA decided to remove the Taliban after 9/11 – the USA approached the Northern Alliance, which was then cornered by the Taliban along the borders with Iran. Dr. Abdullah Abdullah (present president of Afghanistan), who replaced Sha Masaud after he was assassinated by Al Qaeda, agreed to let his men do the ground battle. At the same time, the USA provided arms, logistics, and air cover on the understanding that the Northern Alliance would not demand political control after the Taliban was out. 

 MUSLIMS ARE PLAYED BY THE WEST LIKE PAWNS ON A CHESSBOARD…and with the allure of money and power, our leaders play by their roles. What is so maddeningly painful is the way Muslims are being pitted against each other, slaughtering one another not by hundreds but by thousands, and effectively shattering the lives of millions. Something is terribly wrong, and I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

WARNING: bomb scene that will make you sick…

Ambulances were hit by a second bomb as they moved in to respond to the first bomb casualties. A member of the press even as he was down kept the camera rolling – one minute video. Warning: graphic bomb scene that will make you sick.

No American – not a single US citizen can claim innocence in the slaughter of men, women, and children in Gaza. Obviously, Israel is running out of ammunition, so it is asking the USA to resupply its arsenal with more weapons of mass destruction that shatter the bodies of mothers and babies. The USA is likewise sending more money, aside from ammunition. Actually, the USA does not even have to send the needed arsenal because it has already stored in Israel weapons of all grades worth a billion dollars for Israel’s use. All Israel has to do is to ask, and the USA says – go ahead, my son; my beloved partner in crime. 

MOROLAND: Gunboats on Lake Lanao (1899-1920)

The narrative is so vividly descriptive – it is like being transported in time. Some of the people in the photos could be my great-great grandparents or yours – absolutely possible! It will take you maybe 10 minutes to read, so please click the webpage address. Really fascinating history: from the time the Spaniards built a settlement in Lanao and withdrew for safety reasons – It took another 250 years before they returned for more permanent settlements and sailed the lake with gunboats, which they virtually dragged to the Lanao heights in pieces. Amusing thoughts – how did they do it?

1st Battalion 22nd Infantry Gunboats on Lake Lanao:

AMPHIBIOUS INFANTRY

A FLEET ON LAKE LANAO

By COLONEL PARKER HITT, U.S. Army (Retired)

A little to the west of the center of Mindanao lies Lake
Lanao, filling the crater of a vast, extinct volcano at an elevation of 2,300
feet above sea level.

It is the second-largest body of fresh water in the
Philippines and its only outlet is the Agus River, which breaks through the north
wall of the crater just east of Camp Keithley. Twenty miles away, the south wall

of the crater rises 800 to 1,000 feet almost sheer out of the lake, while the

eastern shore is flat, with alluvial soil brought down by the many streams flowing
in from the eastward. Except at some places on this east shore, boats drawing 4
to 6 feet can go close inshore almost anywhere. Some experimental soundings in
the center of the lake found no bottom at 1,000 feet. The wind is always tricky
and violent at times, over waters surrounded by mountains, and in this respect
Lake Lanao is no exception to the rule. The rainfall runs from 60 to 80 inches
a year, mostly in violent tropical showers, and formidable waterspouts are not
uncommon. The lake natives handle their vintas well under sail, oar, or paddle
and do most of their traveling by water, but it is noteworthy that their boats
are rarely found more than a mile or two from shore.

As a rule, they prefer to go around rather than across the
lake.

The Lanao Moros have always been considered to be the
wildest and most intractable of the Moro tribes. Their number is 1639 when the
Spaniards first reached the lake is not known, but there were settlements all
around its shores. At the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth
centuries, estimates by the Spaniards and Americans agree on a figure of about
15,000 living within 5 miles of the lake's shores. There are no towns; each
chief and man of any importance has a cotta or fort built of earth or rock
with bamboo, rattan vines, and even trees growing in the walls, and in this
cotta, there are one or several houses of bamboo and thatch for the man, his
wives and his retinue.

The heavy armament of these cottas is usually several
"lantakas" which are brass or bronze muzzle-loaders of from 1- to 3-inch
caliber, loaded with nails, scraps of metal, or even stones. Many of these guns
are genuine antiques, having originally come from Spanish and other ships of
the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries as piratical loot or
salvage from wrecks. Small arms of every variety and age are widely scattered
among the Moros and the twisted kris (dagger) and broad-bladed kampilan are
their hand-to-hand weapons. They are good fighters, particularly on the defensive
from within their cottas, and they have the savage's usual respect for force, so
that, when once overcome, they accept the situation and make no more trouble
until the control over them weakens.

THE MYTH OF ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO EXIST

Regardless of how often you read the Bible, the fact will not change that the promise was made and has not been revoked. The big question is whether the Jewish prophets and the Zionists of our time are justified in their claim to the PROMISED LAND, or whether Isaac’s generations were even included in the promise.  Being descendants of Prophet Abraham (a.s.) does not give them the special right or the sole right to the Promised Land. They have no right to remove Ishmael’s descendants, who are not only the rightful heirs but have also been living in the so-called Promised Land since the dawn of time.

Genesis 17:1: “I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan where you are now an alien, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you, and I will be their God.”

Genesis 17:10: “This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you; the covenant you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised: you are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.”

Genesis 17:24: “Abraham was 99 years old when he was circumcised, and his son Ishmael was 13. Abraham and his son were both circumcised on that same day.”

QUESTION: Where is Isaac, the forefather of the Jews who are now claiming the Land of Canaan (Palestine) based on the “COVENANT OF THE PROMISED LAND?”

ANSWER: Nowhere.  Isaac was not a party to the covenant of the Promised Land. He was not even born at the time.
