DANIEL 7:23-25
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast (EU,REVIVED ROME) shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,(7TH WORLD EMPIRE) which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.(TRADING BLOCKS-10 WORLD REGIONS/TRADE BLOCS)
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings(10 NATIONS-10 WORLD DIVISION WORLD GOVERNMENT) that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.(TAKE OVER 3 WORLD REGIONS)
REVELATION 13:1-3,7,8,12,16-18 (ALL THE WORLDS CITIZENS UNDER DICTATORSHIP)
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. 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.
REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.James Paul Warburg appearing before the Senate on 7th February 1950
Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

Bill to limit domestic spy programs passes U.S. Congress-Reuters By Patricia Zengerle and Warren Strobel-5;15pm-june 2,15-yahoonews
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed a bill reforming a government domestic spying program that swept up millions of Americans' telephone records, sending the bill to the White House for President Barack Obama to sign into law.Reversing U.S. security policy that had been in place since shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the bill would end a system exposed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden in 2013. The eavesdropping agency collected and searched records of phone calls looking for terrorism leads but it was not allowed to listen to the content of calls.The passage of the USA Freedom Act, the result of an alliance between Senate Democrats and some of the chamber's most conservative Republicans, was a victory for Obama, a Democrat, and a setback for Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.Before passing the bill, Senators defeated three amendments proposed by Republican leaders. By a vote of 67-32, the Senate approved the new act, which the U.S. House of Representatives had passed overwhelmingly last month.A federal appeals court on May 7 ruled the collection of "metadata" illegal.The new law would require telephone companies, such as Verizon Communications Inc and AT&T Inc, to collect and store telephone "metadata" the same way that they do now for billing purposes.But instead of routinely feeding U.S. intelligence agencies such data, the companies would be required to turn it over only in response to a government request approved by the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.Passage of the bill is the first major legislative reform of U.S. surveillance practices since Snowden's revelations two years ago this month.Along with the phone records program, two other domestic surveillance programs authorized under the USA Patriot Act have been shut down since Sunday. The Senate missed the deadline to extend legal authorities for certain data collection by the NSA and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.Before the final vote, the Senate defeated three amend ments proposed by security hawks, who argued that the reforms in the USA Freedom Act went too far."Before scrapping an effective system that has helped protect us from attack in favor of an untried one, we should at least work toward securing some modest degree of assurance that the new system can, in fact, actually work," McConnell argued.But legislators defeated by 44-54 a measure that would have doubled to 12 months from six months the amount of time the NSA would have to wind down the existing telephone metadata collection system.They also defeated by 42-56 a measure that would have changed the treatment of independent advocates in the secretive surveillance court, and rejected by 56-43 a proposal that would have mandated that the U.S. Director of National Intelligence certify the new phone records system works.Telephone companies had been less than thrilled about potentially overhauling their record-keeping systems to become the repositories of surveillance records, and resisted the prospect for month.The sensitivity of their push against powerful government agencies is so high that few industry officials or experts are willing to discuss the matter.Privacy advocates who have opposed the phone records program since Snowden exposed it balked at the amendments. They said the changes would weaken privacy protections in the Freedom Act and hold up the bill.It was not immediately clear how soon the NSA program would be restarted for six months, until the new system is put in place.After Obama signs the bill, the executive branch would have to apply to the surveillance court for reauthorization of the program. And officials have said it would take time logistically to bring the system back online.A senior U.S. intelligence official said the bulk telephone data collection system had been shut down since shortly before 8 p.m. EDT on Sunday.(Additional reporting by Alina Selyyukh, Susan Cornwell, Mark Hosenball and Roberta Rampton; Editing by Grant McCool)
