Dedicated Web Hosting Knowledge Base
Shared web hosting or Dedicated? I run four sites (soon one more) and I'm paying around $50 a year to host each of them. I notice that the speeds aren't crash hot, but neither is the price I'm paying for them. The speed isn't an issue but for one site, though the new site I'm starting will need decent speeds to keep up. Storage on both services is plenty, so speed is my only concern. Is dedicated hosting (ie, one box that hosts all my sites) worth the $180 p/m cost, or are there cheaper alternatives for comparable speeds? I don't want to commit to something that expensive without knowing if I'm going overboard. Alternatives (or recommended dedicated hosts) welcome :)
Who Would Be A Reliable Dedicated Web Host For A Relatively Large MP3 Site? Hi there, I am searching for a reliable dedicated hosting company that will be able to meet the needs of my future music site. On my site, users will be able to upload/ download mp3's as well as upload photos. I am not entirely sure what I am going to need in terms of plans, or how many page views(est: >300,000)/ mp3 downloads I will be getting a month, but know that I want to be on the safe side, and insure that there will not be a server overload, allowing at least several hundred people to access the site at the same time, without it slowing down. Users will be able to preview music as well , and I want to make sure that this function works smoothly without having connection issues due to too much activity at any given time. I am not entirely sure how many users will be uploading music, however, I am estimating that I will have over 50 GB of music on the site. I need a cost-effective solution, but do not want to cut corners with a plan that cannot support the site. Thank you! Sorry for not mentioning--these mp3's will be copyrighted by the users who uploaded. There will be absolutely no piracy on the site. Also meant to add, I have no interest in using shared hosting--These shared hosting companies sometimes put thousands of sites on the same server, and cannot deliver on the amount of transfer/storage that they offer. The sites have a "fair use" clause, and will instantly shut one's site down, if it's clogging up the server. Just to clarify, I am NOT expecting at least 300,000 downloads a month, but 300,000 page views. This is a very rough estimate, but would be about 10,000 page views a day.
Web Hosting Help. Need Cheap Shared Unix + Dedicated IP? I'm looking for a cheap web host with a dedicated IP address that is located in the United States. I was going to go with Galaxy visions but upon dealing with their sales/support staff I realized they were a VERY small company that could fold overnight. There is a sea of hosts out there, but not many in the United States that offer dedicated IP addresses for a good price...any suggestions?

Choosing a New Web Hosting Plan? I've been shopping for a new web host. I am confused about the bandwidth history of my current host. What is the difference between incoming and outgoing traffic? Last month my incoming traffic was 53.45 GB and my outgoing was 4.70 GB. When I get a new host, what's wrong with shared hosting? Why do people pay extra for dedicated? Is it just if you have web applications that require processing power? is media temple's gs a good option? when dreamhost or hostmonster seem to offer more for less? I'm hosting mainly static pages with some PHP 4, and using osCommerce. currently paying $150/month for dedicated hosting seems like too much. Can anyone recommend the best hosting plan/company for me? Here are some stats from awstats on the main site. (there are a few smaller sites on the server) http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4619/picture1tz9.png http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/8784/picture3px1.png why is the "traffic not viewed" so high? ...the regular traffic is so high because the last admin didn't like compressing images right now i have a dedicated server. too much, right?
How can I make my own dedicated web server? Hi, I'm currently trying to convert an altered (suped up) IBM Aptiva which was originally made for windows 98 into a web server. I would like to use this to host several sites. I'm trying to choose between either windows server 2003 or linux. Anybody have any advice?
Advice and suggestions on web hosting companies? I've been looking for a webhost to host 3 different sties I have under 1 plan. I don't need a dedicated server or anything big and fancy (yet). I use Yahoo now for one of my sites but they don't support hosting multiple domains on one plan. That is a must for me. So far I'm considering BlueHost, DreamHost, and IPowerWeb. Any thoughts on them? Are there any other hosts I should consider? Are there any good web hosting catalogs with user reviews? I looked for user reviews web hosting providers and I didn't have much luck. @#Red and others: I will not click affiliate links or any links which appear to have referal code.
How much to budget for web hosting? I'm starting a web site that will include research & commentary on a particular industry, as well as a forum and links to news items of interest. Right now I have a $6.95 hosting plan that includes 350GB storage and 3500 GB/month bandwidth. I have no idea how much traffic this site will get and whether my current plan will be adequate. If I have Google ads on the site, will I always be able to cover my hosting expenses? Are there web hosts that allow you to scale up to a higher plan or a dedicated server, rather than charging for excess traffic? Out of curiosity, how much do you think ultra-popular sites like drudgereport.com or perezhilton.com spend on hosting?
What web hosting package will I need? I'm looking into starting a chat & dating website (using SQL, PHP etc.) and was wondering what sort of web hosting package I would need to host the site? Do i need a dedicated server? Can I use a virtual one? What should I look out for from my host? I cant predict what sort of traffic I'd have, but I'm being optimistic and hoping to sign up several 1000 users monthly (the host would therefore need to cope with several users being on-line at once). Can anyone give me any advice on this? What sort of traffic can I expect? What sort of band width should I look for? The site wont have provision for webcams initially, but this may be an option in the future. Users will be able to upload photos, videos and music on the site too (with limitations). Any help much appreciated. Thx
How do I accessing and parse E-mails to my web site? I would like to access e-mails to my web site so that I can put them into a database and parse them -without recieving them on the client side. Or, what is the procedure for accessing the mail server to proccess the e-mail recieved to my web site? At the moment I have a very cheaply hosted web site wherein I am sharing a server? Would it mean a dedicated web server and mail server? I am not a technical person, so apologies if the question is not framed appropraitely. I would be outsourcing the work to professional programmers and I am trying to frame the problem.

What are some reliable yet inexpensive hosting solutions for dedicated servers? I have developed a java based web application using struts, tomcat, mysql etc. I want to host all of these on a server (OS platform should not matter since it is all Java and mysql) that runs in some reliable data center. I want to get the benefit of all the managed services (they take backups etc right) but have my own server for dealing with the user-load and also that the Java apps dont run nicely on shared hosted systems (and they will not have all the tools and libraries we use). I am looking to see if there is any data center in India as well that has proven connectivity. Whatsoever information on this topic is much appreciated.

UK based web hosting needed? I am looking for web hosting based within the UK (Due to search engine issues it has to be based within the UK). The hosting only needs to be shared and not a dedicated server or virtual. I will need around 20-50GB bandwidth per month and the usual FTP access/stats etc. Costing £10-£15 per month but upgradable. I am already in the I.T. industry and work closely with large ISP's and web hosting companies, however these are too large and do not provide any shared hosting. If you have experience of a particular provider (Good or Bad) then your help and advice would be apreciated.

(freebie fanatic, I know) I wanted to host Google adsense ads, but I wanted to use free hosting to start with.

I also considered powweb.com, but i was reading that when your site starts getting alot of traffic your site delays alot. I just want to get something reliable for now and dont want to purchase a dedicated server at the moment. any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks!
Excellent web hosting server? I'm hosting my site on an really fast and reliable server. The server is way more than what my site needs. I'm looking for someone to share the extra space and bandwidth with. Here is the cost and detail: 5,000 Mb of dedicated disk space. 50, 000 Mb of dedicated bandwidth per month. Multi site hosting PHP, MySQL, Cpanel, Fantastico and everything else for professional package with 24 hours live support. $9.99/month total (I pay $59.95/month for 30 Gig space, 300 Gig bandwidth, so $9.99 is just equal pricing, I'm not looking to make profit, just 2-3 people to share this server.) If you're frustrated with oversold-shared hosting, slow speed and frequent down time, please try this server. I'll give everyone 30 days money back so you can test this server. If you like to check out the speed of my site, it's www.peopleillustrated.com ASP and ASP.net is for window server. This is a Linux server, so I'm sorry it does not have ASP and probably won't work for your site. Thanks for your response!
Drupal web hosting? I've made a social networking site based on drupal and now i need to find the right hosting for it. The site has a pretty good chance to become very popular, but also a chance to pose no interest. I was thinking of finding a webhosting company from where to buy a shared hosting or vps or something and then upgrade to a dedicated server. My budget for now is 100$, but if the site is successful i can invest more. The hosting must have mod_rewrite and imagemagick. mcrypt and mhash are a plus but not required. What would be the best way to handle this issue and what hosting company do you recommend?
Host profiessional web server at Home? I need to host a dedicated server. Since I’ve 2 desktops but I only need one, I want to host IIS web server at home running ASP.Net with SQL Server 2005 like godaddy’s dedicated server. My questions are 1) Is there any web hosting company that can provide DNS service? Can godaddy provide that? Ex. When someone type www.mywebsite.com , I want the user to forward my home static IP. 2) As far as I know most COX ISP doesn’t provide fast upload speed. Can I request to COX to have more upload speed? Or is there any ISP that can provide fast upload speed 2Mbps or higher. Please do not mention about software prices and security issues. I'll be hosting on Windows Server 2003 on my computer. Thank in advanced.
More RAM or a better CPU? Hi there. I just purchased a clearance server from a dedicated web host. The primary purpose of the server is for web hosting only. I was wondering if more RAM or a better CPU would be best to improve the server's performance. I am not planning on upgrading, but in case I want to, I wanted to know what option woud be best. [I have also been told Celeron processors have a bug where they can spike to 100% load in no time; true/false?] Specs: Celeron 3.0 GHz Processor, 1024MB RAM Thanks, Jared

How do database servers work? Hi, I tried to read about databases, but I didn't find it much help. How can a server like Apache(running on your computer) still work when you shutdown? Can other computers still recieve that information when your server/computer is shutdown? Would the database work? Would I need to buy a server dedicated to that? or contact web host that sells server space? is that the better option? Woah, that is a lot of questions. I guess I'll need to read a whole lot more about databases. I just usually give up because I don't understand how a database can still work if the server is down, especially if the server is running on my computer. Maybe I got it wrong and they just install Apache to test if the database works. Please help!
Web Host Question? 1) Whats the different between Hosting Plan and Server Plan, "Ex. Godaddy.com" Hosting Plan, Vitual Server, and Dedicated Server? 2) Why would someone pay 79.99 when you can pay 14.99 for something similar and cheaper? Ex. a - Godaddy Premium Plan (Regular) $14.99/mo for 200GB Space & 2000GB bandwidth. b - Godaddy Preconfigured Deluxe (Dedicated) $79.99/mo 2x120 GB Space & 500GB bandwidth 3) The highest bandwidth offered from a web host I saw goes up to 3600GB. I know that Youtube, Megaupload, and Rapidshare use more bandwidth then that, but where and how do they get it? If I were to host videos like youtube where would i get the bandwidth from. Do I put servers or host together? If so how would I do that?

Network of Dedicated Servers? I am looking for a number of servers (say 40 dedicated machines) each with their own IP, not in the same IP address range, spread around the world. It can be Linux of windows PCs. Does anyone know of a good solution or service for this? I have looked into EC2 from Amazon but they do not have the support I need. Ideas? Note: I am not looking for caching services or exclusively web hosting. The machines should have different external IPs, possibly different locations and also be able to run desktop windows applications. The servers will be working independently. They will also be running a .NET desktop application and another 3rd party windows application and need a connection to the internet. Linux or Mono wont work. Linux would work if the version support vmware.

Which Hosts should I consider for a new Web 2.0 Application that deals with 'lots' of Big Video files?? I am a designer in the UK and I am creating 'yet another' video sharing site for the Web 2.0 bubble (Don't panic, it's a good one). I need to find out what sort of hosting I should use (maybe even get a comparison between shared, dedicated and virtual etc). And to accompany this which hosting companies I should be considering? I could have 1,000 subscribers, 100,000 (or you never know 1,000,000) subscribers so I need a scaleable solution that doesnt cost me 3 arms and 4.236 legs. I'll be hosting personal content and profiles for my users so it is VERY important that my host is Secure , reliable and I have Guaranteed Bandwidth for my users. I plan to offer 50+Gb Bandwidth Transfer and 10+Gb Storage for each user. I do understand that Bandwidth costs money and therefore a lot of hosting plans Oversell for the majority of users who are not going to maximize the bandwidth offered to them. I need your advice/answers to help me find a trusted partner for hosting my service. Thank You

Mirror server hosting !!? Weâ??ve been asked to offer a technical proposal for a new established TV station, and the IT manager of the station has a long list of requirements, we covered it all, only one issues lift as we never done it before: They want about 20-60 GB server for hosting and they want to have a mirror server, incase the 1st server was down, so it would redirect the visitors to the mirror server, I'm thinking of getting them a dedicated or semi-dedicated server, but how do you do the mirror issue. Some one said to get two dedicated servers, but: 1. How we make it that when one is down, it automatically directed to the other. 2. Should they be from two different companies and to different countries? 3. The web site will be with CMS and DB, how do you make sure that the mirror server have all the new data that was updated in the 1st serverâ??s DB, do they have like shared DB or something, and how.. P.S. We use PHP/ MySql technology.

What do you think of this web site about Bush being 1 Anti-Christ? Nice Guy? or the Devil's Spawn? He snorted cocaine ... He dodged the draft....His friends knew him as an alcoholic womanizer with a bad temper....a complete failure at business until his wealthy friends bailed him out. Yet within a few short years he was elected Governor of Texas, and quickly catapulted into the White House, in spite of losing the popular vote. He was re-elected with last minute help from Osama Bin Laden, in spite of high disapproval ratings. He still couldn't think his way out of a wet paper bag .....and yet he's declared an endless war and instituted some of the most radical political changes in American history .... ....... How has He done it? I submit to you that George Walker Bush is the ANTI-CHRIST. The violence and destruction that started when Bush first entered office, is likely to culminate in the apocalypse, just as predicted in the Bible, over 2,000 years ago. ( I first posted this on Geocities over four years ago, before the 2000 election, to sound the alarm. Tragically, nobody listened. Now the World Trade Center has been hauled off for scrap, the Constitution is in tatters, our civil rights in ruins, and our nation is off fighting a Holy War in the Middle East..) The Evidence: Let's look at exhibit 1: The Number of the Beast The Bible gives us a way to prove whether or not a person is the Antichrist. Rev 13:18 says: "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." That is, the number 666. St. John the apostle, the author of Revelation, was a Jew who wrote in Greek, though he did his thinking in Hebrew. He knew that every Hebrew letter has a numeric equivalent, and that's how the number 666 originated. Gematria is the process of adding up or counting the letters of the Hebrew alphabet in a word or name. Here is a table that list the Hebrew letters and the numbers that correspond. PLATE I.- TABLE OF HEBREW LETTERS Hebrew/Chaldee Letters Name Sound or Power Roman Letters Used Numerical Value Aleph Beth Gimel Daleth He Vau Zayin Cheth Teth Yod Caph Lamed Mem Nun Samekh Ayin Pe Tzaddi Qoph Resh Shin Tau a (soft breathing) b, bh (v) g (hard), gh d, dh (flat th) h (rough breathing) v,u,o,w z, dz ch, h (guttural) t (strong) i, y (as in yes) k, kh l m n s o, aa, ng (guttural) p, ph (f) ts, tz, j q, qh (guttural) r sh, s th, t A B C,G D E V,W Z H,Ch T I,Y K, C L M N S O,U P Tz Q R Sh Th 1 (Thousands are 2 denoted by a 3 larger letter; Thus 4 an Aleph larger 5 than the rest of 6 the letters 7 among which it is, 8 signifies not 1, 9 but 1000). 10 20 final = 500 30 40 final = 600 50 final = 700 60 70 80 final = 800 90 final = 900 100 (The finals are not 200 always considered as 300 bearing an increased 400 numerical value) (note: the letter 'S' has a different value depending upon whether it's used to form a hard or soft sound as in 'bus' or 'Bush'): If you add up the name 'George Bush' in Hebrew letters it comes out: G = 3 (gimel) e = 5 (heh) o = 70 (ayin) r = 200 (resh) g = 3 (gimel) e = 5 (heh) B = 2 (beth) u = 70 (ayin) s = 300 (shin) h = 8 (cheth) total = 666 (Antichrist) I challenge anyone to find another powerful world leader, either now or in the past, whose name adds up to 666 in Hebrew. Unlike Hebrew, the letters of the English alphabet don't automatically have a numeric value. The way numerologists convert names into numbers is through a simple numerical code. The most common method used by numerologists today is the Pythagorean System, named for the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, who invented it in the fifth century BC. It looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z If you add up the numbers of his full name using this system, according to the table above you get 7+5+6+9+7+5 for George, +5+1+3+2+5+9 for Walker, and +2+3+1+8 for Bush, which all adds up to a total of 78 = 7+8 = 15 = 1+5 = 6. The other method used in numerology is the Chaldean System, which has its roots in ancient Babylon, and is closely related to the Hebrew Kabbala: It looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A B C D E U O F I K G M H G Z P J R L T N W Q S X S If you add up the numbers of his name using the Chaldean System you get 3+5+7+2+3+5 for George, +6+1+3+2+5+2 for Walker, and +2+6+3+5 for Bush, which adds up to a total of 60 = 6+0 = 6. Once again the number is 6. But hold on, because weâ??re not done yet. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The computer you're using to read this can only understand numbers, and ASCII is the numerical representation of characters like â??A,B,Câ?? or an action of some sort. now if you add up Bush's name in ASCII code, you get 71+101+111+114+103+101 for George, 87+97+108+107+101+114 for Walker, and 66+117+115+104 for Bush, which totals up to 1617 = 1+6+1+7 = 15 = 1+5 = 6. To recap: George Bush's name is equal to 666 if we use the Hebrew letter equivalents. It also equals 666 when we use the two most commonly used systems in numerology, together with ASCII code. Bush has another name used to identify him politically. A Republican from Texas. If you add up Republican in the most commonly used Pythagorean system you get 9+5+7+3+2+3+9+3+1+9 = 51 = 5+1 = 6. If you add up Texas you get 2+5+6+1+1 = 15 = 1+5 = 6. And if you add up Texas Republican you get 15 + 51 = 66. (Ever wonder why George Herbert Walker Bush Sr. left out the 'Herbert' when naming his son? George = six letters, Walker = six letters, and BushJr (or 'Busche', which was the original German spelling of their name) = six letters. = 666. Once again, the number of the beast.) But hold onto your hat, because there's more. Revelation says the number of the beast (the Antichrist) is 666 â?? it does not explicitly say this is the number of his name, though that could be part of it. So let's continue with the second number used by numerologists, the date of his birth. Mr. Bush was born July 6, 1946. If you add up all the digits in his date of birth you get 7+6+1+9+4+6 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. The third number used by numerologists is the "fate" number. There are two ways to find the number. Many numerologists find the fate, destiny, or â??luckyâ?? number by taking the day of the month you are born, and reducing if necessary. Since Bushâ??s birth day is the 6th of July â?? no reduction is necessary. The other way is by adding the three components of the date of birth to a sum before reducing. Bushâ??s birth date is 7/6/1946 = 7+6+1946 = 1959 = 1+9+5+9 = 24 = 2+4 = once again, our third 6. However, to be absolutely certain that weâ??re dealing with the Antichrist, consider that you can also identify a man by the most important dates in his life â?? the day of his marriage, or the dates of his childrenâ??s birth, for instance. However, since it's the Antichrist we're considering, the most important dates in his life will be the dates on which he acquires world power. These dates will also be readily available to people everywhere, so that anyone can check to see whether a world leader is the Antichrist. Bush's first step in attaining world power was achieved on that fateful day Mr. Bush was first elected governor of Texas - his first elected office - on November 8, 1994. Again, just by adding up the digits we get 1+1+8+1+9+9+4 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. Then he was inaugurated as Governor of Texas on January 17, 1995. = 1+1+7+1+9+9+5 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. After losing the popular vote on November 7, 2000, Bush took his next giant leap towards world domination when he was inaugurated president of the United States on January 20, 2001. 1+2+0+2+0+0+1 = 6. Another six to replace the one he had as Governor. There you have it - 666 - the number of the Beast, any way you care to add it up. The number of his name in Hebrew = 666. The number of his name using the Pythagorean system = 6. The Chaldean system = 6. ASCII code = 6. The number of his birthday = 6. His lucky number = 6. The number of the date when he was first elected Governor = 6. When he is first inaugurated Governor = 6. The number when he was inaugurated president of the United States = 6. The number of the man/beast named George Walker Bush = 666. What are the chances? The chances of anyone's name being equal to 666 in Hebrew are at least one in a thousand. The chances of each of the others by themselves is 1 in 9. Using the law of cumulative probability, we can figure the chance of all these things occurring together in the same man to be 1 chance in (1,000 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9), or 1 chance in 43,046,721,000. That's about seven times the current total world population. Since the Bible says that the Antichrist will be the most powerful leader in the world, and George Bush has already attained that goal, we would need to see another 43,046,721,000 most-powerful world leaders come and go, before we would have an even chance of another world-leader as strongly associated with the number 666. If all the future most powerful world leaders lasted only an average of 4 years, followed one right after another - as with a single presidential term - it would take over 172 billion years before we'd have a fair chance of seeing another world leader as strongly associated with the number 666. Unfortunately, according to the latest estimates, our sun will burn out in another 4-5 billion years. Therefore, it's extremely unlikely that another world leader will ever again be as strongly associated with the number 666 as George W Bush. There is still one more very remarkable piece of evidence: Bush declared his candidacy for president on June 12, 1999, at a mid-day Bar-B-Q in Iowa. By turning the day into a product of simple addition, we easily come up with the date 6/(6+6)/1999. That's a right-side up 666 next to an upside down 666, separated by a 1 that is holding the place for 1,000 years. The 1,000 years is the millennium of peace, which the Bible says will come after Christ defeats the Antichrist (the right side up 666) and rules the world for 1,000 years. Then, after the 1,000 year millennium, Satan will once again be released from hell (the upside down 666, as in coming up from hell). He is then defeated and thrown into the lake of fire forever (Revelation 20:7-10). So what are the chances? Obviously, the chances of any other world leader introducing himself to the world on 6/6+6/1999 are nil - it simply didnâ??t happen. Bush is the only one and he is the only leader in history who is so intimately connected to what must be the most inauspicious day in world history. Numerology was widely used in the early church, and St Augustine encouraged its teaching as a basic part of Christian education. In the Bible, seven is considered to be a perfect number because God created the world in 7 days. Six is considered to be an imperfect or sinful number, because it falls just short of the perfect number seven, in the same way our sins fall short of the mark. Mankind was created on the sixth day, and it was through mankind that sin came into the world through the fall of Adam and Eve. So the association of the number six with evil, as expressed in the book of Revelation, has its origins in the first few pages of Genesis, at the very beginning of the Bible. Exhibit 2 : Nailing the Beast Revelation 13:1-2 â??And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns upon its horns, and a blasphemous name upon its heads. And the beast I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have a mortal wound, but the mortal wound had been healed.â?? This beast in Revelation is based upon one that first appears in the book of Daniel: Daniel 7: 7-8 â??After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast- terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns. While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth that spoke boastfully.â?? So what are we to make of this confusing symbolism? What do the horns represent? What do the heads represent? What do the crowns mean? What does the body symbolize? It's not that difficult to figure out, now that we know who the Antichrist is. This beast is the image of an empire â?? the final world empire, and the one that gives rise to the Antichrist. Its body is likened to a leopard, because according to Victorinus, a father of the early church "â??This signifies the kingdom of that time of Antichrist, and the people mingled with the variety of nations.â?? The spots on the leopard represent a multi-national, multi-racial, and multi-cultural 'melting pot'.. This was once the case with Rome, and is currently the case with the United States of America. The mouth is like a lion because Americans speak English, and the United States was once an English colony, and England has always been represented by a lion on the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom. The bear is the symbol of Russia, and the bear-like feet of the beast are symbolic of how the only other superpower for forty years was the Russian bear, but now the US is walking all over what was formerly Russian territory, and it now has its â??feetâ??, or military bases planted in countries that were once part of the USSR, like Uzbekistan and Kyrgistan. It says this beast comes out of the sea, and this is in reference to the New World, which was discovered by navigators like Columbus. The United States came out of the sea in the sense that at the time of St. Johnâ??s vision, it was assumed that the only thing west of Europe and east of the orient was water and the end of the world. The United States, as part of the 'New World', seemed from the perspective of the Biblical or â??Old Worldâ??, to come up out of the water, and literally rise out of the sea. Daniel says this beast is different from the previous beasts. Because unlike all the others, the American Empire isn't headquartered in Europe or the Middle East, and the United States doesnâ??t formally colonize and occupy other nations (at least before Iraq), but it maintains military bases around the world, and its ships, planes and missiles are able to reach clear around the world, and that's what makes the United States an Imperial super-power. Horns symbolize power or virility, and the horns of the beast represent the powerful men who have come to rule over the American empire. Daniel says quite explicitly (Dan 7: 24) â??the ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones. (the Antichrist)â?? America acquired superpower status, and gained the reach of a world-class Empire, when it acquired the nuclear bomb - at the very end of WWII. Since then there have been exactly ten â??kingsâ?? or post-war presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, BushSr, and Clinton. The prophecy from Daniel says that after these ten presidents, there will appear another one, an arrogant â??little hornâ??, which is the Antichrist, George W Bush. It says this â??little hornâ?? is unlike the other ten presidents, and this is in reference to the fact that Bush had no popular mandate, that he lost the popular vote by over a million votes, and was appointed to office when five un-elected judges on the Supreme Court stopped the counting of votes in Florida. This never happened before in American history, and it makes him different from his predecessors â?? that and his arrogance, dishonesty, law-breaking, and lust for world power. It also says that â??three of the first horns (10 presidents) were uprooted before it.â?? Bush is a far-right Republican, and this in reference to the fact that when Bush Jr came to office, right-wing conspiracies had already uprooted and destroyed the presidencies of three previous key Democratic presidents, thereby changing history and sabotaging a more moderate course for the nation: John Kennedy, by assassination, Jimmy Carter, through the Iran hostage crisis â??October Surpriseâ?? , and finally the Monica Lewinski sex impeachment. (which ultimately damaged Gore, as part of the Clinton/Gore presidency.) In all three of these right-wing conspiracies, there was direct involvement by the Bush crime family. Crowns are always associated with kingdoms, and the ten crowns on the ten horns represent the ten kingdoms or imperial powers whose power was eventually assumed by this particular beast, which is the United States. There were ten imperial powers over the past several hundred years, which became the European heirs to the power of the Roman Empire. At one point or other the United States, the ultimate and final heir to the Roman Empire, has either beaten these weaker empires outright in war, or assumed the power and sphere of influence they once commanded. These empires were the Spanish, Portuguese, British, Dutch, Austro-Hungarian, Byzantine/Ottoman, German /Holy Roman, Russian, Italian and French. The American beast, a former colony of these European Imperial powers, now proudly wears their crowns like scalps or trophies. This is symbolic of the US presidents who have wielded their power since WWII, when the power of European imperialism was broken.. Finally, what about the seven heads? Just as the ten crowns represent the power held by ten empires that divided the power of Rome, the seven heads are the seven world-class empires which for a time ruled over all the known world, of which Rome was only one. These seven master empires in chronological order are Babylon (both Old and New), Egypt, Assyria, Medo-Persia, Greece or Macedonia, Rome, and finally the United States. Islam once conquered a large area of the Middle East, but they never had a cohesive, world-class Empire. This also doesnâ??t include the Chinese, Inca, Mongol or Mayan Empires, because they were too far removed from the Biblical world, which includes the Mediterranean world of the Middle East and Europe. This area remains the critical heart of the Biblical world, even today. It doesnâ??t include empires like the British and Ottoman, because their power was actively contested by contemporaries, and they never held the sort of â??sole superpowerâ?? status that once marked Rome, and currently defines the USA. The head with a mortal wound that was healed is the Roman Empire/Nero, which seemed to have been dead for the last 1500 years, but now has been resurrected in the American Empire/Bush. All the other world-class empires were more or less continuous â?? whenever one was defeated the next sprang up on its heels. In that sense, from the perspective of the Biblical world, there was one continuous world empire that never seemed to die until Rome was finally defeated by the Christian church. This is the 'Whore Babylon' spoken about in prophecy - a premier line of world-class empires that first began with Babylon, and continues on with six other world class empires - the "seven mountains on which a woman sits" (Rev 17:9). A woman who keeps putting on different makeup - but it's always the same old whore. These empires not only dominate the world militarily, but economically and culturally as well. The â??blasphemous nameâ?? written across the seven heads of the beast (and it says â??nameâ??, not â??namesâ??) are the seven letters B-A-B-Y-L-O-N. It also says about these seven heads or empires, that as of the time of the writing of Revelation (95 AD), (Rev 17:10) â??five have fallen (Babylon, Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Greece), one is (Rome), the other has yet to come (USA), but when it does, he (George Bush â?? the Antichrist) must remain for a little while.â?? When the American World Empire moved into Afghanistan and Iraq, in order to dominate and remake the middle east by force, it was a signal that the last World Empire, the Antichrist, and the final days had arrived. Many people wrote to me that Bush canâ??t be the Antichrist because â??the Antichrist will come from Europeâ?? or â??the Antichrist will come from the Middle Eastâ??. But when pressed to back up their claim, they could not. Whether we like it or not, the evidence proves the Antichrist could only come from the United States of America, and it is none other than George Walker BushJr = 666. Exhibit #3: Daniel's Perspective On Current Events Here is a running commentary on a prophecy of Daniel concerning the Antichrist â?? one remarkably similar to what we are reading in our daily newspapers: Daniel 8:1-17 In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, I Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had already appeared to me. In my vision I saw in the citadel of Susa in the province of Elam (located in Iraq just east of Babylon)...I looked up and there before me was a ram with two horns (Saddam Hussein), and the horns were long (Saddam once had the fourth most powerful army in the world). One of the horns was longer than the others but grew up later (his forces were divided into the regular armed forces and the Republican army. The Republican army was formed later and eventually grew into seven elite divisions that became the backbone of his forces.). I watched the ram as he charged towards the west, the north and the south. (Saddam was causing a lot of trouble in the Middle East - sparring with Israel in the west, then brutally suppressing the Kurds in the north, and finally invading and occupying Kuwait in the south, which triggered the first Gulf War.) No animal could stand up to him, and none could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great. (By 1990, Iraq had become the greatest military power in the region, and was on the verge of acquiring nuclear capability. This would have enabled him to overrun Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the Persian Gulf oil states.) As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn came from the west (United States military forces under President George HW Bush), crossing the whole earth without touching the ground (US forces were either shipped across water or airlifted in from across the globe). He came towards the two-horned ram (Saddam's forces) they had seen standing by the canal (the straights of Shatt Al Arab, an important oil-producing region shared by Iraq and Kuwait, and crucial in the conflict. Kuwait was later found to have been slant drilling for Iraqi oil.) and charged at him in great rage. I saw him attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering his two horns. (the air war that proceeded ground action in the Gulf War shattered and demoralized the dug-in Iraqi forces, both the regular army and the Republican Guard.) The ram was powerless to stand against him, the goat knocked him to the ground and trampled on him, and none could rescue the ram from his power. (US ground forces then rolled right over Saddam's forces. Other Arab nations in the region were either neutral in the conflict or openly supportive of US military intervention.) The goat became very great, but at the height of his power his large horn was broken off. (After the War American prestige and power in the region soared. Yet in spite of world-wide acclaim and a job approval rate of over 90%, George WH Bush nevertheless lost the presidency a year later, and was no longer commander-in-chief of the most powerful military machine the world had ever seen.) And in its place four prominent horns grew up towards the four winds of heaven. (Having retired from politics, his power and reputation was now in the hands of his four sons: George, John (aka â??Jebâ??), Neil & Marvin. It was up to them to redeem the familyâ??s name and power.) Out of one of them (that is, from one of his four sons) came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. (George W Bush started out failing at everything, and spent most of his adult life drinking. He had no power to speak of â?? his horn was very small. Then at the age of 48 he was suddenly elected governor of the southern state of Texas. He gained more power when he was appointed to the presidency, and moved east to Washington DC to assume the office. Now he's sent American forces off to conquer or â??democratizeâ?? the Middle East, also known in the Bible as 'beautiful land'.) It grew until it reached the host of heaven and it threw some of the starry hosts down to earth and trampled on them. (Here we have a picture of an arrogant leader whose great power has gone completely to his head. He challenges the authority of heaven by pretending to be on a divine mission to attack other nations.) It set itself up as great as the Prince of the host; (With 'Operation Infinite Justice', Bush compared his bloody justice to that of a patient and merciful God) it took away the place of daily sacrifice from him, and the place of his sanctuary was brought low. (The United States invaded and destroyed numerous Mosques in the pursuit of fundamentalist Moslem â??terroristsâ??. It has also proclaimed that any Islamic state offering them sanctuary will be attacked.). The heavenly host was delivered up (many innocent civilians are being slaughtered by American forces - over 650,000 at last count , an Iraqi casualty rate that's the same as killing about 8 million Americans, or the entire population of New York City - and delivered up as angels before God), and the little horn (George W Bush) raised itself impiously against the regular offering and cast true religion to the ground; (though he claims to be a Christian, and a man of peace fighting against forces of evil, just the opposite is the case. He is a violent and profane man consumed by greed and a lust for power; he persecutes and murders the poor to increase the profits of the rich, and trades blood for oil.) It succeeded in all he did, and truth was thrown to the ground (for a short time his 'war on terrorism' was very successful. He won every military battle and announced 'mission accomplished'. He fooled a lot of people with lies about WMDs, while pretending he's fighting for freedom and democracy. ). Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, "How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled? -....." He said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated." (The â??war on terrorismâ?? will last about six and a half years, causing an unbelievable amount death and destruction. Then Bush/the Antichrist will be removed by God, and peace restored to the Middle East)....While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man. (Jesus, the son of God) And I heard a man's voice calling, "Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision." As he came near the place I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. "Son of man," he said to me, "understand that the vision concerns the time of the end." (This vision is about the last days - the time of the Apocalypse and the battle of Armageddon.) Exhibit #4a: the Bush/Nero Connection The term "antichrist' was first used in the most recent books of the Bible, ( 1 John 2:18) " many antichrists have made their appearance." Most Biblical scholars believe that St. John was referring to members of a Gnostic Christian cult. For the early church, all those actively working against the spirit of Christ were considered antichrists, whether or not they call themselves Christians. As St. Augustine put it: â??There you have the Antichrist â?? everyone who denies Christ by his works.â?? At the same time, the early church believed that there would be one individual, a single man whose evil deeds would far exceed all the others; and this Antichrist would make his appearance just before the second coming of Jesus. Jesus called him ( Mark 13:14) "the abomination of desolation" Paul referred to him as the ( 2 thess 2:3) "man of sin" and "son of perdition". John in his letter and in his Revelation to the church called him "the beast" or "antichrist." Most scholars now believe that the antichrist in the book of Revelation was Nero, emperor of Rome from 54 - 68 AD. Nero was the first emperor to persecute the church with a vengeance, blaming Christians for the burning of Rome, and torturing them to death in the Forum. Both St. Paul and St. Peter were executed by Nero. After Nero committed suicide, it was widely believed that Nero was still alive in Parthia (the Middle East), hiding out (much like Elvis), and that he would return to reclaim his throne. As late as the fifth century AD, Lactantius (240-320 A.D.), Jerome (340-420 A.D.) and St. Augustine (354-430 A.D.) all assumed that the Antichrist would turn out to be some kind of resuscitated Nero. Were they wrong? Certainly Nero the man never returned from the dead, and the church eventually looked elsewhere for the antichrist - but that doesn't invalidate the prophecy. Nero has indeed returned, but not as Nero the Roman emperor. He's returned in spirit as George W Bush, the 43rd (P)resident of the United States.. Nero was only a foreshadowing of the last antichrist. This final and most powerful antichrist in history is prepared to finish the campaign that began with Nero almost 2,000 years ago. Most Biblical historians, including Barclay, believed that 666 was in reference to Emperor Nero. The Hebrew transliteration (without vowels) of Nero's Latin name, Caesar Nero, (QWSR NRWN) adds up to 666 using the Hebrew alphabet above. But St. John gave us this number (666) rather than his name (Nero) so that we could identify him today. Because as I have already demonstrated conclusively in exhibit #1, George Bush has the mark of the beast like no other man in human history. The Beast and His Brain: One of the mysteries of Revelation has been the identity and connection of a second beast who rescues the antichrist and serves as his prophet. Rev 13:12 "He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast." Carl Rove became Bush's alter ego when he rescued Bush from political death after his defeat in a Congressional race, and since 1993 he has served as the brains and the cleverness of the antichrist. There is even a new best-selling book by that title "Bush's Brain". No mere presidential advisor has ever held so much power. Every decision Bush makes is calculated and spun by Rove for political effect, with absolutely no regard for the truth. A true prophet divines the will of God in order to help lead a nation in the path of truth and righteousness. But a false prophet like Rove can predict the moods and weaknesses of the people and manipulate public opinion through the skillful use of fear, in order to advance his evil agenda. Exhibit #4b: the Bush/Herod Connection George W. Bush is closely related to the House of Windsor and the British Royal Family, and he is related to just about every other Royal family in Europe. In fact, George Jr. is more closely related to British royalty by blood than his own father. Why? The blue-blood of the Pierce family running through his mother's veins. Bush is not only the wealthiest president we've ever had, he's also the purest aristocrat ever to sit in the White House. Why is this so important to our discussion? Because in his recent book, The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea, author Tim Cohen has meticulously documented why he believes the Antichrist must be someone who, like Bush, is closely related to the British Royal family. Though Cohen's prime suspect seems to be Prince Charles, clearly George Bush is a much better candidate for the role. Bush's bloodline is also tied into the 13th bloodline of the Illuminati. According to some, the Illuminati are a group of rich, powerful, satanically inspired families who have conspired throughout history to rule the earth, even to the present day. This thirteenth or 'royal' illuminati bloodline is the one that is widely believed to lead directly to the final Antichrist. Noted British author David Icke has traced the Bush bloodline as far back as Phillip of Macedonia, the father of Alexander the Great, who established the Greek World Empire. From that point, the Bush bloodline passes through the principal ruling families of the Roman Empire and eventually through European royalty as well. He is also descended from Queen Cleopatra, royal consort to Julius Caesar. Icke comments that "She also bore twins with Mark Anthony, who has his own connections to this line and its many offshoots" Marc Anthony happens to be the great-Grandfather of Emperor Nero. So now there is also a definite blood connection between Emperor Nero, the original Biblical prototype for the Antichrist, and George W Bush. One branch of the Bush bloodline also passes directly through Herod the Great, the Judean King who originally tried to murder Jesus as a child, and he is related to Herod Antipas, who murdered John the Baptist and turned Jesus over to Pilate to be crucified. Exhibit #4c: the Bush/Judas Connection Understanding the psychology of Judas Iscariot is a good way to understand the Antichrist. Judas was a model or template for the way the Antichrist would betray Christ, even while pretending to be a disciple and follower of Christ. You could say that George Bush is the spiritual reincarnation of Judas Iscariot, since he thinks, acts, and is motivated in precisely the same way. Judas is the disciple who betrayed Jesus for money. Thirty pieces of silver to be exact. The Bible is very clear that is what he did, and what actually happened. But it doesnâ??t tell us how he rationalized this betrayal in his own mind. It doesn't say because it was basically only a rationalization, and it really didnâ??t matter. But it is also clear that Judas did not see himself as a greedy man who sold out Jesus for money, even though thatâ??s exactly what he did. The same is very true with Bush â?? and with many Christians today. We know that Judas was a greedy man because the Bible tells us he kept the money, and it also says that he was a thief. (John 12:6) So he must have been stealing all along. At one point, Judas objects that Jesus is being anointed with spikenard, a costly ointment. He rationalizes how it could have been sold and used to help the poor. But he really didnâ??t want to help the poor â?? he only wanted the money for himself. In the same way Bush rationalizes that his tax cuts for the rich were really to stimulate the economy, and to provide jobs and prosperity for the poor. In truth he cares nothing about the poor, and in fact the poor in America are poorer and more numerous since he came to power. Like Judas, Bush was put in charge of the government purse, and he has bankrupted the nation and enriched his wealthy cronies. He is a thief. Exactly like Judas, he uses staged photo-ops and a feigned concern for the poor - as he did in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - as a cover for his continuing theft from the government purse. Eventually Judas even sold Jesus out for money. But it's obvious he didnâ??t understand the real extent of his betrayal till the very end, anymore than Bush will. It's only at the very end, when Judas finally saw himself for what he really was, and understood what he had actually done, that he threw away the money and hanged himself. He committed suicide because he couldn't live with the truth of what he had become. You see, Judas had deceived himself as much as he deceived everyone around him. Jesus constantly warned about the deceitfulness of riches, (Mark 4:19) but itâ??s not a warning Judas took very seriously. Nor has Bush. So what kind of rationalization did Judas give himself for betraying Christ for money? Did he tell himself it was to compel Jesus to take a more aggressive stand against Roman occupation? Had he convinced himself that he could hurry along coming of the Kingdom of God? In spite of all the miracles, had he convinced himself what a lot of other people believed â?? that Jesus was crazy, a charlatan, or that he needed to be stopped for his own good? Whatever rationalization he gave himself, it was not the real reason. The real reason was greed. In the same manner, Bush has betrayed and lied to his own countrymen, and gotten us involved in a bloody war in Iraq. He told us it was over weapons of mass destruction, but that was a lie. He's still telling himself it's to establish freedom and democracy in the Middle East, but that's a lie and a rationalization as well. The real reason is greed for oil. Why was it that Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss? Isnâ??t it because he didnâ??t yet understand the depth of his betrayal? So why should we expect Bush to understand? The fact that Judas didnâ??t understand until the very end, did not make him any less evil, or his actions any less reprehensible. It is our actions that matter, not how good we are at rationalizing them. It is the 655,000 innocent Iraqi men, women and children killed, and 3,000 American lives wasted - that's what matters. Spinning and rationalizing is something the most evil people are best at doing. Including Bush. new exhibit! Exhibit #5 Photographic Evidence According to "Satanism In America" the Il Corduno or "horned hand" is a sign of recognition between practicing Satanists. Here is a picture of the salute taken from a Satanic manual. Notice how it is a one-handed salute, and that the palm of the hand faces outward. The following are just a few examples among the numerous times where Bush has been seen flashing the 'devil's salute'.- even at his second inauguration. His explanation? According to Bush, he's not giving the internationally recognized sign for devil worshippers. According to him, he's giving the sign of the University of Texas Longhorns. But this doesn't hold water for two very good reasons. #1 George W Bush never attended the University of Texas. He received his undergraduate degree from Yale University. The University of Texas law school then turned him down flat, because his record at Yale was so bad. But family connections enabled him to get into Harvard Business school. Nobody in their right mind goes around continually flashing the sign of a college they never attended, a college that rejected him. He likely did pick it up at college, but while attending Yale, and after joining a Satanic cult called "Skull and Bones". #2 There is another very good reason why his alibi just doesn't wash. Bush really isn't flashing the sign of the Texas Longhorns at all. This following is a picture of a University of Texas student giving the Longhorns salute. Notice how BOTH hands are used, and the back rather than the palms of the hands are facing outwards, to simulate a Texas Longhorn. It is apparent Bush is definitely NOT giving the University of Texas Longhorns salute. Rather, he's giving the Satanic 'horned hand' salute. Now he's even got his wife doing it! BTW: Laura also killed her boyfriend and got away with it. (Some have emailed me to say that many people in Texas use the same salute. That's irrelevant. Even if everyone in Texas does it (which is doubtful) - it's still a satanic salute, no matter who does it. It's Satanic because that's how the salute originated, and how it is interpreted by most people throughout the world today. Bush knows exactly what he's doing, and how it's seen and interpreted around the world. As a publicly elected (or appointed) representative of our government, he has a responsibility not to say or do something that might reflect poorly upon our nation. He knows it's Satanic, and yet he continues to do it. Therefore, he's intentionally flashing a Satanic salute.) Exhibit #666: Psychological Proof The Antichrist is the greatest deceiver of all time. The Bible indicates he will even pretend to be religious. In fact, he will ultimately pretend to be God, and be worshipped as God half way through the Apocalypse. More than any other president Bush wears his religion on his sleeve - both for political gain, and to deceive the world. Presidential assistant David Kuo quit his post because he was convinced that Bush had deceived conservative Christians. Bush says that God (rather than the Supreme Court) chose him to lead the nation, and he sees himself on a divine mission. Bush told an Amish group in Pennsylvania that "God speaks through me." Another story that ran in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz tells how Bush had told Middle East leaders that " God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam [ Hussein], which I didâ?? What's important about these voices Bush is hearing, which are effectively telling him to go kill people, is that Jesus consistently taught his disciples to overcome evil with good, rather than with bombs and bullets and violence, and, "all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." (Mat 26:52) It is eminently reasonable to assume that the voices Bush is hearing are not coming from God at all, but from Satan. It is also reasonable to assume that the devil does not desire peace, but war, death, and destruction. Why is it that when ordinary citizens hear voices telling them to go kill people, we lock them up for the safety of themselves and the community? Yet when Bush hears voices telling him to kill, many evangelical/fundamentalist Christians rejoice, and pretend he was chosen by God. Along with hearing voices, the degradation of his cognitive and verbal skills has been striking, when compared with where he was just ten years ago. â??Worried White House aides paint a portrait of a man on the edge, increasingly wary of those who disagree with him and paranoid of a public that no longer trusts his policies in Iraq or at home. It reminds me of the Nixon days,â?? says a longtime GOP political consultant with contacts in the White House. â??Everybody is an enemy; everybody is out to get him. Thatâ??s the mood over there.â?? In interviews with a number of White House staffers who were willing to talk off the record, a picture of an administration under siege has emerged, led by a man who declares his decisions to be doing â??Godâ??s willâ?? and then tells aides to â??fuck overâ?? anyone they consider to be an opponent of the administration." In another much-under-reported story, a very prominent Washington psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank has diagnosed Bush as a very paranoid and sadistic megalomanic. In his new book, Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President, he writes that Bush's years of heavy drinking "may have affected his brain function" and he "fits the profile of a former drinker whose alcoholism has been arrested but not treated." His diagnosis? "Our sole treatment option -- for his benefit and for ours -- is to remove President Bush from office . . . before it is too late." Unfortunately, Democrats have taken impeachment off the table - at least for now. Dr. Frank's conclusions have been praised by other prominent psychiatrists, including Dr. James Grotstein, Professor at UCLA Medical Center, and Dr. Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University Medical School. Bush seems to have fooled a lot of people into believing he really is God. One man in Florida said what may people on the religious right are saying, "this is the first time I felt God was in the White House." There is even a website dedicated to his worship called "Bush IS LORD". How's that for an abomination? (Some have e-mailed me to say that Bushislord.com is only a parody site. but the Bible says that the Antichrist will be worshiped as God, whether seriously or not. See below for the more serious Bush worshippers. As far as Bush not being the Antichrist because he's not very popular around the world, that mistake stems from a confusion over the antichrist as a system of values vs. the Antichrist as an individual. American culture is still very popular around the world, even though Bush is very unpopular. If the singular Antichrist was popular and beloved all around the world, how do you explain the battle of Armageddon, when the Antichrist will be violently opposed and overthrown by the rest of the world?) Chuck Baldwin is founder and pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida. He has a daily syndicated radio talk show on the Genesis Communications Network called â??Chuck Baldwin Liveâ?? Chuck says: â??many people attribute to Bush god-like qualities, which actually makes him a better candidate than Clinton wasâ?¦I do believe that Bush possesses more deceptive qualities than Clinton did and, therefore, is more dangerous...one of the chief characteristics of the coming antichrist is that he appears "as an angel of light...Bush' s acceptance by the overwhelming majority of Christian people proves the country is ready for the Antichrist." Now listen to what the most renowned prophet of the Christian era has to say in exhibit 7: Exhibit #7: Nostradamus Michel Nostradamus (1503-1566) a French physician and astrologer who wrote over 900 predictions concerning the fate of the world. Written in four-lined rhyming quatrains, they were to be become famous for their astonishing accuracy. Note: A quatrain circulating around and attributed to Nostradamus: "The village idiot" etc. is a hoax, and it was not written by Nostradamus. That being said, the devil does hide the truth behind a lie, and the Antichrist's most important identifying trait is his ability to deceive. What better deception than to play the idiot? Hitler was once ridiculed and compared to Charlie Chaplain, but the world eventually discovered he was anything but a joke. Bush openly remarks that his greatest advantage lies in the fact that people tend to "mis-underestimate" him. The devil's most powerful weapon lies in the fact that we often underestimate his great cunning. I'm not denying that in may ways Bush is a complete idiot - however the principalities and powers guiding his actions are not stupid. Not by a long shot. Nostradamus outlined three distinctly different and progressively worse Antichrist figures, the last one being the bloodiest of all. The first two Antichrists have already come and gone, namely Napoleon and Hitler. So we are now waiting for the final Antichrist. Using this information as background, we can now focus on details concerning the final Antichrist, according to the prophesies of Nostradamus: century 6 quatrain 13 A doubtful man shall not come far from the reign The greatest part will uphold him A capital will not consent that he should reign. His great chair he shall not be able to maintain. This one is pretty straightforward, and it concerns the man who tried to stop the AntiChrist's rise to power: "A doubtful man shall not come far from the reign" = Everyone doubted Gore had a chance, but he ended up nearly capturing the presidency. "The greatest part will uphold him." = He won the popular vote. "A capitol will not consent he should reign" = The right-wing US Supreme Court in the capital Washington DC stopped the counting of votes in Florida to ensure Gore's defeat. "His great chair he shall not be able to maintain." = He also lost the office of Vice President. century 2 quatrain 62 Ma-bus then will soon die, there will come A horrible slaughter of people and animals: At once vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred hands, Blood, thirst and hunger when the comet will run. This gives us a clue to the last Antichrist's name, the sign of his coming, and the slaughter he will initiate before being removed. His rise to power is associated with a comet, and it was during the spectacular show of the Hale-Bop comet that Bush's own political star rose like a comet - he assumed his first elected office in '95 when Hale-Bop was first sighted, and by the time the comet reached its brightest stage in '97, he was already being talked about as the next president. "will soon die" may mean after the comet dies and the antichrist assumes power (the presidency), "will come a horrible slaughter " referring to the coming apocalypse in the middle east. "vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred hands" refers to the western alliance formed to take revenge for the bombings of the WTC and the Pentagon. "MA-BUS" is also short for â??the AMerican, Bushâ??, just by inverting the first two letters and leaving out the last H, which is already silent in Latin languages like French, the language of Nostradamus. It is also a combination of MR.Bush, where the R looks like a capital A. Mabus is also a combination of MAgog and Bush, a reference to Bushâ??s given name in a Satanic cult. (Bush was named â??Magogâ?? in the scull and bones society.) Homework assignment: Write down the first two letters of Mabus â?? Ma, turn them around 180 degrees, and hold it up to a mirror, Mabus becomes gW Bush. Note: Nostradamus also misspelled that Hitler's name, calling him "Hister" (Hysterical Hitler?) century 2 quatrain 30 One who the infernal gods of Hannibal Will cause to be reborn, terror of all mankind Never more horror nor the newspapers tell of worse in the past, Than will come to the Romans through Babel (Iraq). â?? The AntiChrist, aka MA-BUS aka 'MAgog Bush'aka the AMeircan BUSh, is strongly associated with a reincarnated Hannibal. Hannibal was a general from Africa who invaded Italy with his elephants in order to conquer Rome. But he failed to deliver the final crushing blow. Sound familiar? Colin Powel is another general, originally from Africa, who also marches with the elephants (Republicans). Just like Hannibal, Powel launched an attack in the first Gulf War, but he failed to go all the way Baghdad to remove Saddam, just like Hannibal failed to capture Rome itself.. â??Never more horrorâ?¦ than will come to the Romans through Babel (Iraq).â?? This Quatrain equates the United States with Rome, and tells us that it is because of the current war in Iraq, that the United States (the new Roman Empire) will suffer a bloodbath like the world has never seen before. century 8 quatrain 70 He will enter, wicked, unpleasant, infamous, tyrannizing over Mesopotamia (Iraq). All friends made by the adulterous lady: the land dreaded and evil in aspect. This indicates the antichrist (Bush), not desiring peace, will bully and 'tyrannize' Iraq. The 'adulterous lady' is the statue of liberty, lady liberty, a symbol of America, that followed the Antichrist to satisfy their greed and thirst for power (and oil). America's 'friends' are the allies bullied into aiding American aggression in Iraq. century 10 quatrain 66 The chief of London by the American reign, The isle will divide thee from Scotland by frost; They will have again as King one who is so false an Antichrist, That he will put them altogether in a conflict; The 'chief of London' is Tony Blair, Prime Minister of Britain, and it indicates that America is telling him what to do. 'Divide thee from Scotland by frost' dates this prophecy by indicating how Scotland recently voted for home rule and convened their first Parliament since 1707. 'Have again as king...' indicates how Bush, the American Antichrist, is making British foreign policy like a king - and the fact that his family is descended from British royalty. 'Put them altogether in a conflict.' says he will drag both Britain and America into war in the Middle East. Century 1 quatrain 50 From the three water signs Will be born a man Who will Celebrate Thursday as his feast day. His renown, praise, rule and power will grow on land and sea, Bringing trouble to the East. Bush was born on July 6 = Cancer, one of the three water signs. He was born in America, which celebrates its birthday on July 4 = Cancer. He was born in New Haven Connecticut, which was founded by Puritans on March 17, 1638 = Pisces, another water sign, though he claims to be from Texas, which on March 2, 1836 became a Republic = again Pisces. The Thursday "feast day" is an obvious reference to Thanksgiving, which identifies the Antichrist as an American president. It indicates he will have considerable military success at first, but in the process stir up ancient fears and sunni vs shiite hatreds, that will eventually lead to the battle of Armageddon . century 10 quatrain 72 The year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a great King of Terror. To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, Before and after Mars to reign by good luck. In June of 1999, Bush formally declared his candidacy for president, and by a July he was already calling himself the president. It is important to understand it was not just a mistake. The AntiChrist receives his authority from Satan - not from God, and not from men. By "mistakenly" calling himself president before any election had been held, Bush was announcing to the world for the first time in July of '99 that he was Satan's chosen ruler - the AntiChrist. Likewise the first AntiChrist, Napoleon, crowned himself emperor. And again the second AntiChrist aka Hitler never waited to receive a popular mandate before seizing power. Like Hister, Ma-bus aka 'AMerican- Bush', aka MAgog Bush, used thugs to enforce his authority in Dade county. If Bush had won the popular vote, and had not stolen the election in Florida, it would have been conclusive evidence that he was not the third AntiChrist. Secondly, the quatrain refers to the fact that Antichrist will come into the world from the sky - the French word can also be translated as 'heaven'. George Bush was born in 'New Haven' Connecticut. (Scripture says Jesus will also return from heaven, and the antichrist is the counterfeit of Christ.) Thirdly, it indicates that after the US gets bogged down and weakened by a religious war in the Middle East, it will be Communist China's good luck to be able to overrun what's left of the world in the style of Genghis Khan! Still not convinced? Exhibit #8: Bush's Secret Alliance With EVIL You won't read about it in the New York Times, let alone hear about it on the FOX network, but the current occupant of the White House is not only an ongoing member of one of the most evil and Satanic cults in America, but his family got rich helping Hitler come to power and exterminate six million Jews. George W Bush was/is a member of the "skull and bones" society. There's even a movie about it. And no, this isn't just another harmless Greek fraternity. Itâ??s a secretive, satanic cult for the jaded and self-appointed elites at Yale University. The upper crust of the upper crust â?? with only 15 new initiates selected from each graduating class. Bush wrote in his autobiography it was, "so secret, I can't say anything more." But I can: We know that initiates undergo torture, kiss a scull, press a human femur bone to the initiates backside, act out a throat slashing ritual murder, and they pledge allegiance to a figure dressed up as Satan. They are also compelled to relate their entire sexual history while masturbating in a coffin. Bush had the name "Magog" , because he had the most extensive illicit sexual background of all the new initiates. And of course, Gog and "Magog" are names directly connected with Satan and the Antichrist in Revelation (20:8). The following is a short clip from a video taken by investigative journalist Ron Rosenbaum on April 14, 2001: Scull&Bones Clip The words and imagery of the cult are heavily centered on death, as they repeat the same mantra over and over, till it is burned into their conciseness: THE HANGMAN EQUALS DEATH! THE DEVIL EQUALS DEATH! DEATH EQUALS DEATH!â?? Initiates are instructed to "die to the barbarian world" so that they can be reborn in the "The Order," a brotherhood of Satan. In a new and more recent twist, in addition to being cross examined by Satan, initiates are also being cross-examined by a member dressed up as George W Bush, aka "Magog", who hurls vulgar profanities and says thing like "Iâ??m gonna kill you like I killed Al Gore." Some may want to dismiss all this as somewhere on the extremely poor-taste edge of college hijinks, but itâ??s much more serious than that. Such a darkly obscene and prolonged ritual cannot help but have a lasting impact on the souls of young initiates. Oaths to the devil taken in jest are nevertheless taken in fact. It's also important to point out that scull and bones cult members do not resign after graduation - like born again Christians they consider themselves to be born again into â??the orderâ?? forever- only they're reborn in Satan, and not the Holy Spirit. They even have their own hideout called Deer Island, where former Bones members bring their families for summer reunions. A secluded hideaway is located in the St. Lawrence River, and owned by the Deer Island Club Corporation, a shell company operated by Skull and Bones members. The Scull and Bones Satanist Elites maintain their cultic relationships their entire lives - mostly by helping each other gain positions of influence and world power, in order to make more money. A satanic mafia for the super-well-connected. Though Bush kept going bust in the oil business, his comrades from scull and bones helped bail him out, and it was they who would later give him his start in politics. Bush was also involved in torture at Delta Kappa Epsilon, at a time when he was President of the fraternity. One pledge recalled how this "compassionate conservative" took great pleasure in branding him with a red hot iron, leaving him with scars which he carries to this day. When the hazing scandal broke in the campus newspaper in the late '60s, Bush tried to defend the illegal torture as a "harmless prank", but the fraternity was fined and the branding practice halted. It's little wonder that he still considers illegal torture a 'harmless prank': When he was a boy he also used to sadistically insert firecrackers into frogs and blow them up for kicks. Little wonder that under his leadership, for the first time Americans are engaging in the shameful and counter-productive practice of torturing prisoners in places like Abu Ghraib Prision. Then there's the Bush family alliance with the greatest evil in history - Adolph Hitler. Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush, also a 'scull and bones' man, got rich first by helping the Nazis come to power, then helping Hitler build the war machine that would decimate the world, and then even benefiting from Nazi slave labor and the extermination of millions of Jews. Auschwitz was built near coal deposits so that slave labor could be used in one of Prescott Bush's holdings, the Silesian American Corporation. Even after the US declared war on Germany, Prescott Bush continued violating the Trading With the Enemy Act, until the government finally shut him down late in 1942 - but not before making him rich, and establishing the Bush family as a power in American politics . Exhibit #9: The latest Antichrist Poll Results are in: According to the latest results of a non-partisan online poll, 52% of the public now firmly believes that George W Bush IS in fact the The Antichrist! Wow! That's over half of the public, and a far higher percentage than with any other person. Even Osama Bin Laden came in at only 2%. Seems like the word is finally getting out. An article in Seattle Weekly asks the question "Is Bush The Antichrist?" . While obliquely referring to this page as but a "whimsical 666-numerological riff", it quotes the Rev. Rich Lang of Seattle's Trinity United Methodist Church who says of Bush "He has the spirit of the Antichrist. Literally, break the word apart. It is a spirituality that is anti-Christ." Exhibit #10 (Rev 13:14-15) " that they should make an image to the beast..and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." Check out the clip about "Jesus Camp," one of many fundamentalist training camps where little children are being indoctrinated as warriors, and taught to grovel and worship before the image of their Glorious Leader, George W. Bush. To better inform the p

What steps must be taken for perodic maintaince of a web server? My company will be moving from a shared hosted server to a dedicated server (Unix). I understand that on a dedicated server, we will be responsible to do everything which includes maintaince. Can you please tell me what must I do on a regular and perodic interval to keep the server running smoothly. I am aware that it depends to a large extent on the applications running, but other than that (application independant) what do I need to do? Like for example (just from the top of my head) reboot it on a regular interval (whats a good time frame) or should I never reboot it unless it give a problem? How do I monitor that the server is always up and running, are there any tools which will monitor the server status and send a message to my cell phone when the server goes down? I am sure there may be many such things, everyone, PLEASE tell me everything you know in this issue, I want to be prepared as much as I can. Thanks a TON everyone.
DNS propagation query? Hi, this (to me) is quite technical. I resell web hosting and recently moved to a more economical provider. I purchased 2 dedicated ip addresses. 1 of them would not resolve at all and the other one resolved to a completely different website. I enquired and was given 2 new IP addresses and was told that it should be working shortly. That was yesterday and its still not working. I have now been told it could take up to 72 hours (which I have read elsewhere too). So at this point there is not really a problem. However what I am worried about is this.... What happens if after 72 hours it is still not working, will I have to wait a further 72 hours as it looks like my new host does not really know what they are doing? OR.... is there a way I can check the progress of my DNS update (i have tried the usual dnsstuff and dnscheck etc) or is there some way I can actualy confirm he has done what he says he has done.? cheers PS... its a .com domain if that makes a dif.

Is there a network genius out there who really undersand network throughput and connection speeds? I want to have a Java-based website or two. There are two options for me. Either get a dedicated server from a hosting company (I have one in mind), or run a web server from my appartment. The hosting people seem to be unable to tell me too much. They say "you get 100Mbps", but it seems that this is the connection "at the switch port" (maybe from the server to the switch), so I don't know what this number really means. I checked out several ISPs such as Comcast, AT&T, Verizon. It seems that a regular T1 is about 1.5 Mbps. From what I got from the Wikipedia, these are 24 voice channels. Each one is 64 Kbps. What does that mean? Why would I need 24 channels? Is this faster than what I have right now (regular cable) if I have only one computer running with my web server on it? How does a T1 compare to what the hosting company offers. The connection speed that my coputer shows me is 100Mbps. Probably this is Ethernet connection, though. What are all these connection speeds? Thank you.
Email Question? I have a web site that I am soon to manage and the client has an OPT IN email newsletter database. Do you think its best to go with a third party host for this with a dedicated SMTP server or try and run batches from the regular host SMTP server? The have tried the later and have been getting about 40% bounced back email. I think its the server timing out. The database is Access, the list contains about 8000 records. The email is sent twice a month.

The word 'pound' is abbreviated 'lb.' after the constellation 'libra' because it means 'pound' in Latin, and also 'scales'. The abbreviation for the British Pound Sterling comes from the same source: it is an 'L' for Libra/Lb. with a stroke through it to indicate abbreviation. Sames goes for the Italian lira which uses the same abbreviation ('lira' coming from 'libra'). So British currency (before it went metric) was always quoted as "pounds/shillings/pence", abbreviated "L/s/d" (libra/solidus/denarius).

If you come from Manchester, you are a Mancunian. No animal, once frozen solid (i.e., water solidifies and turns to ice) survives when thawed, because the ice crystals formed inside cells would break open the cell membranes. However there are certain frogs that can survive the experience of being frozen. These frogs make special proteins which prevent the formation of ice (or at least keep the crystals from becoming very large), so that they actually never freeze even though their body temperature is below zero Celsius. The water in them remains liquid: a phenomenon known as 'supercooling.' If you disturb one of these frogs (just touching them even), the water in them quickly freezes solid and they die.

The word posh, which denotes luxurious rooms or accomodations, originated when ticket agents in England marked the tickets of travelers going by ship to the Orient. Since there was no air conditioning in those days, it was always better to have a cabin on the shady side of the ship as it passed through the Mediterranean and Suez area. Since the sun is in the south, those with money paid extra to get cabin's on the left, or port, traveling to the Asia, and on the right, or starboard, when returning to Europe. Hence their tickets were marked with the initials for Port Outbound Starboard Homebound, or POSH. The top layer of a wedding cake, known as the groom's cake, traditionally is a fruit cake.
