The Basics of Chemical and Biological Weapons
Like a nuclear bomb, a chemical or biological weapon is a weapon of mass destruction. An effective attack using a chemical or biological agent can easily kill thousands of peoplein a matter of minutes.
Chemical Weapons
A chemical weapon is any weapon that uses a manufactured chemical to kill people. The first chemical weapon used effectively in battle was chlorine gas, which burns and destroys lung tissue. Chlorine is not an exotic chemical. Most municipal water systems use it today to kill bacteria. It is easy to manufacture from common table salt. In World War I, the German army released tons of the gas to create a cloud that the men would inhale then die.
Modern chemical weapons tend to focus on agents with much greater killing power, meaning that it takes a lot less of the chemical to kill the same number of people. Many of them use the sorts of chemicals found in insecticides. When you spray your lawn or garden with a chemical to control aphids, you are, in essence, waging a chemical war on aphids.
Many of us tend to imagine a chemical weapon as a bomb or missile that releases highly toxic chemicals over a city. (For example, the movie "The Rock" featured a scenario in which terrorists tried to launch a missile loaded with the chemical VX, a nerve toxin.) But in 1995, the group Aum Shinrikyo released sarin gas, a nerve gas, in the Tokyo subway. Thousands were wounded and 12 people were killed. No giant bombs or missiles were involved -- the terrorists used small exploding cannisters to release the gas in the subway.
Biological Weapons
A biological weapon uses a bacteria or virus, or in some cases toxins that come directly from bacteria, to kill people. If you were to dump a load of manure or human waste into a town's water supply, that would be a simple form or biological warfare -- human and animal manure contain bacteria that are deadly in a variety of ways. In the 19th century, American Indians were infected with smallpox through donated blankets.
A modern biological weapon would use a strain of bacteria or a virus that would kill thousands of people, Such as poisoning the water supply. Tom Clancy has explored the idea of biological terrorism in two books: "Executive Orders" and "Rainbow Six." In both books, the source of infection is the Ebola virus. the infection is spread through small aerosol cans (like those used by insecticide products to create "bug bombs") released at conventions, or through misting systems used to cool sports venues.

Said Shirian was born on September 1st, 1946 in Tehran, Iran. He was a Civil Engineer for NYNEX and developed the first ever patent in company history. The patent is titled "Duct for Cable". It consists of a duct for carrying cable comprising a tubular member having a barrel portion and a larger diameter bell portion, the duct further comprising a member disposed in the barrel portion for segmenting the barrel portion into compartments, the segmenting member have a first section and a second section, the second section extending into the bell portion and being adapted to inter fit with the first section. The patent was filed on October 23, 1984.
Background of the Invention
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to ducts for housing cable and, in particular, to ducts for housing communication cable.
In the placing of conventional copper telephone cable, the cable is run through a duct which is used to house and protect the cable. Prior to placing the cable in the duct a cone shaped element is passed through the duct to clear away any debris and ensure a clear passage for the cable. Also attached to the cone is an end of a cable pull-line. Once the cone and attached end of the pull-line are through the duct, the other end of the line is affixed to a telephone cable and the cable pulled through the duct.
In order to pass the cone through the duct, a pressure differential is created in the duct. This requires that the individual components of the duct and their interconnections provide an air-tight passage. Otherwise, air leaks will occur and insufficient pressure will be developed to pull the cone through the line.
As the telephone industry has turned to the use of fiber optic cable for telephone transmission, it has had to develop techniques for placing the smaller diameter fiber optic cable. These techniques have continued to utilize the pressurized cone procedure for pulling cable through the ducts, since this procedure results in minimizing installation time.
At present, placing of fiber optic cable is accomplished by first pulling three one inch inner ducts through the usual four inch copper cable duct. The pressurized cone procedure is then used to pull a fiber optic cable through a first duct and to pull a small copper cable through a second duct. The copper cable is needed to provide talking channels between various installation points. The third inner duct serves as a spare, since it cannot be used without an associated cable for talking channels.
In many cases, the pulling of the three one inch ducts through the four inch duct is extremely difficult and in certain cases not possible to accomplish. This is particularly true where the four inch duct has vertical and horizontal bends. These bends may be created when placing the duct and may be a result of cable congestion and/or location.
In order to provide for an additional fiber optic cable in a conventional four inch duct and to avoid the material and labor costs of providing and pulling three inner ducts, it has now been proposed that the four inch duct itself be modified by segmenting the duct into four one inch compartments, two of which for receiving fiber optic cable and the other two of which for receiving associated talking channel copper cable. While such a segmented duct would increase the cable capacity by one and would not require separate inner ducts, the duct must also be designed so that pulling of each cable through its associated compartment can be achieved utilizing the aforementioned pressurized cone procedure. This requires that the individual compartments be air-tight and that the duct be connectible to like ducts in a manner to preserve this condition.
It would also be desirable if such a segmented duct could be further designed so that connection to similar ducts automatically aligns corresponding compartments. Finally, it would be advantageous if the duct could be made in long lengths, while still being capable of being cut to shorter lengths which when joined to similar ducts preserves the alignment as well as air-tightness of the corresponding compartments.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cable duct having one or more of the above-mentioned features.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a segmented duct for fiber optic cable wherein the duct can be joined to similar ducts, while maintaining an air-tight condition for the individual compartments of the ducts.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a duct of the last mentioned type which can be of long length and which can be cut into shorter lengths which can then be joined to similar ducts so as to maintain alignment of corresponding compartments and an air-tight condition.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the above and other objects are realized in a duct comprising a tubular member having a barrel portion and a bell portion, the latter bell portion having a diameter which is greater than that of the barrel portion, and means disposed in the barrel portion for segmenting the barrel portion into compartments. The segmenting means is itself comprised of a first section and a second section, the second section extending into the bell portion and having an end adapted to interfit with the first section.
In this manner, if the barrel portion of a first duct constructed in accordance with the invention is inserted into the bell portion of a second duct also constructed in accordance with the invention, the first section of the segmenting means of the first duct will interfit with the end of the second section of the segmenting means of the second duct. As a result, the ducts will be connected in a positive manner which tends to maintain the air-tight nature of the compartments at the connection point.
In further accord with the invention, the barrel portion and bell portion of the tubular member of the invention are provided with mating first and second alignment means. These alignment means are situated such that the interfitting of the first and second sections of first and second ducts is realized in a manner which automatically aligns corresponding compartments of the ducts once the alignment means are brought into mating relationship. By use of the alignment means in combination with the segmenting means and its interfitting first and second sections, connection of like ducts is thus realized in a way which automatically preserves compartment alignment and air-tightness.
In the embodiment of the invention to be disclosed hereinafter, the segmenting means comprises one or more pairs of spaced first walls which together form the first section. The second section comprises a single second wall for each pair of first spaced walls. Each single second wall has a thickness which is less than the spacing between its corresponding pair of spaced first walls so as to be able to tightly fit therebetween. The alignment means, on the other hand, comprises diametrically opposing flanges disposed on the barrel portion outer surface and an aligned slot in the bell portion for each such flange. Accordingly, when the flanges of the barrel portion of a first duct are inserted into the slots in the bell portion of a second duct, the second walls in the bell of the second duct will interfit between the corresponding spaced first walls in the barrel of the first duct to provide an interfitting tongue and groove like connection.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The above and other features and aspects of the present invention will become more apparent upon reading the following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows a duct in accordance with the principles of the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows a cross section of the duct of FIG. 1 taken across the line 2--2;
FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the duct of FIG. 1 taken along the line 3--3;
FIG. 4 shows the second section of the segmenting means of the duct of FIG. 1 which is utilized to connect the duct to other like ducts; and
FIG. 5 shows a cross section similar to that of FIG. 2 of a modified version of the duct of FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In FIG. 1, the duct 1 is a duct made in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The duct 1 is in the form of a tubular member and comprises a cylindrical barrel portion 2 and a cylindrical bell portion 3. The barrel portion is of length l 1 and has inner and outer diameters D 1 and D 2 . The bell portion 3 is of shorter length l 2 but of larger inner and outer diamter D 3 and D 4 then the barrel portion. The bell portion serves to receive the barrel portion of a like duct when these ducts are to be interconnected.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a segmenting means 4 is disposed within the barrel section 2. The segmenting means 4 includes a first section 4a which extends through the barrel portion 2 and which comprises a central element 4a 1 , and one or more pairs of first spaced walls, 4a 2 -4a 5 . Each pair of spaced walls comprises like first walls 4a 6 having a radially uniform spacing s over their entire lengths.
The walls 4a 6 are flat and extend radially from the element 4a 1 to the inner wall 2a of the barrel portion 2. They further extend axially over substantially the entire length of the barrel portion. They, therefore, divide the barrel portion into four separate and air-tight compartments 5, 6, 7 and 8, each suitable for receiving its own telephone cable.
At the end 2b of the barrel 2 the segmenting means includes a second section 4b. This section is formed by bringing the pairs of walls 4a 2 -4a 5 together to form a set of single second walls 4b 2 -4b 5 . As shown in FIG. 4, which, for simplicity, illustrates only the first pair of walls 4a 4 and their corresponding second wall 4b 4 , the second walls 4b 2 -4b 5 extend into the bell for a distance x beyond the point of termination of the element 4a 1 . Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, these walls are spaced from the inner surface 3a of the bell by a distance y equal to one-half the difference between the inner diameter D 1 and the inner diameter D 3 of the barrel and bell portions 2 and 3, respectively.
In accordance with the invention, the end of the second section 4b of the segmenting means is adapted to interfit with the first section of the segmenting means. This is accomplished in the present case by selecting the thickness t of each of the single walls 4b 2 -4b 5 to be less than the spacing s between the corresponding pairs of walls 4a 2 -4a 5 . Preferably, this difference is such that each pair of walls 4a 2 -4a 5 can be inserted over their corresponding wall 4b 2 -4b 5 in a tightly-engaging force-fitting manner.
In addition to the segmenting means 4, the barrel and bell portions 2 and 3 of the duct 1 are provided with cooperating alignment means. In particular, the barrel 2 supports on its outer surface 2c flanges 9a and 9b. These flanges are diametrically opposite and extend over the length of the barrel and in parallel with the opposing pairs of walls and 4a 2 and 4a 4 . The bell 3, in turn, is provided with corresponding slots 11a and 11b in its wall. These slots run from the terminating point of the associated flange 9a and 9b to the end of the bell.
As can be appreciated, by utilizing the above-described configuration of the duct 1 for two or more ducts, these ducts can now be connected end-to-end such that corresponding compartments 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the ducts align and remain air-tight. In particular, by inserting the barrel portion of a first duct having the configuration of the duct 1 into the bell portion of a second duct also having this configuration, the spaced walls 4a 2 -4a 5 of the first duct align with and tightly fit over the walls 4b 2 -4b 5 of the second duct. This tongue and groove type fit, moreover, exists over the distance x (see FIG. 4) and, thus, provides a distance of approximately 2x over which air must now travel before it can leak into another compartment.
In actual practice, when two such ducts are to be joined, a cement material is applied to the barrel portion, including the pairs of walls 4a 2 -4a 5 , of the first duct and to the bell portion, including the walls 4b 2 -4b 5 , of the second duct. The ducts are then joined as aforementioned, resulting in cemented connections over the tongue and groove interfit of walls 4b 2 -4b 5 and spaced walls 4a 2 -4a 5 . Because each of the connections is now over a distance 2x, the likelihood of leakage of air from one duct compartment to the next is greatly decreased, since it is highly unlikely that there would be a failure of the cement to adhere at all points over the entire 2x distance. Accordingly, an improved air-tight connection with automatic alignment is realized utilizing the configuration of the duct 1 of the invention.
It is also advantageous in accord with the invention to provide the barrel 2 of the duct 1 with a uniform cross section over its entire length l 1 . By this measure, the duct 1 can be cut anywhere along its length and it will still have spaced walls 4a 2 -4a 5 at its cut end which will tightly fit the walls 4b 2 -4b 5 of another like duct. The shorter length duct can, thus, now be readily joined to another like duct in the manner described above to obtain a composite duct having aligned air-tight compartments.
FIG. 5 shows a cross-section similar to that of FIG. 2 of a duct like the duct of FIG. 2, except for a modification of the section 4a of the segmenting means 4. In particular, in FIG. 5, the section 4a has been modified by eliminating the element 4a 1 . As a result, each wall 4a 6 of the pairs of walls 4a 2 -4a 5 intersects with a further wall 4a 6 of another pair of walls in L-shaped configuration.
In practice of the invention, the bell and barrel portions and the segmenting means of the duct may be formed from an integral member comprised of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), fiberglass or similar types of materials. The pairs of walls 4a 2 -4a 5 of the segmented means, in turn, might typically have a thickness of 0.045 inches and a spacing of 0.10 inches. The walls 4b 2 -4b 5 in such case would have a thickness of approximately 0.09 inches. The lengths l 1 and l 2 might also be 20' and 3", respectively while the dimension x might be 0.5 inches. Finally, the cement used to join like ducts might be comprised of a solvent and plastic material. Conventional cements of this type are manufactured and sold by various manufacturers.
As above-indicated, the duct of the invention can be made in long lengths of approximately 20' or longer. As a result, the duct can undergo vertical and horizontal bending, thereby allowing for flexibility in connection. Furthermore, the supporting points provided by the walls 4a 6 give the duct increased structural strength. It, therefore, is more resistant to deformation resulting from external pressures.
The duct of the invention provides significant cost advantages over the above-described prior procedure of utilizing three inner ducts in the conventional four inch duct. Firstly, material costs are reduced, since the need for three separate inner ducts is eliminated. Secondly, labor and operating costs are also reduced, since mobilization costs (opening and closing manholes, pumping water, testing for gas, etc.) are minimized and since placing and rodding of the three inner ducts is avoided. Finally, capital costs are reduced, since duct space is maximized and new construction can be avoided or at least delayed.
It should be noted that while the duct of the invention has been described in terms of its use in housing fiber optic communication cable, the duct of the invention can also be used to house any other types of cable. In particular, the duct can advantageously be used to house cable having comparable dimensions as fiber optic cable. Additionally, the duct can be used to house cable intended for underground as well as above the ground placement. The duct can also serve as a riser duct in new commercial or residential buildings where the allocated space for ducts is very limited.
In all cases, it is understood that the above-identified arrangement are merely illustrative of the many possible specific embodiments which represent applications of the present invention. Numerous and varied other arrangemnts can readily be devised in accordance with the principles of the present inventon without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

polish orliks
These pigeons were originally bred in the Polish/Ukrain mountains but fanciers eventually spread out throughout south-western Russia and the Ukraine. The first notable flight was put up in the southern Ukraine city of Nikloaev. Polish orliks flap their wings in a circular motion. Their wing tips should almost touch when descending to form a circle shape. Ukrainian sky-cutters are specially bred to fly straight up above their coop and to remain there (about a kilometer up) for several hours. A good sky-cutter has to be allowed at least a half an hour to an hour to reach these high altitudes, although some orliks are capable of reaching invisibility in only about six minutes. These birds become out of shape quite quickly so they should be flown almost every day if the weather permits. There are many different types of training, but the style most often used for laid back fanciers is to simply let a small group of hens or cocks out with a batch of younger birds (6-8 weeks old) and to fly them as you would a kit. The babies will try to follow the adults. After they have flown around a bit, call the hens in for feeding and the babies will follow them. There is also the option of tippler training with droppers.

The introduction of genetic modelling into farming has produced cows that can now produce chocolate milk. This is by introducing a chocolate gene taken from the cocoa bean in south America and introducing it into the milk glands in the cow.
The British economy is expected to save millions from producing chocolate milk straight from the cow saving costs of importing the cocoa beans from around the world.
Coco-pops and Mars are now thinking of introducing new chocolate milk drinks - organic. And are even considering lactose intolerant drinks.
These new organic chocolate milk drinks are expected on the market for Christmas, although currently they are in the process of testing to review how the market reacts to chocolate milk coming straight from the cow.

Cost unit as defined by CIMA is a "unit of product,service or time in relation to which cost may be ascertained or expressed". Cost units are the 'things', that the business is set up to provide of which cost is ascertained. For example, in a steel company, the cost per tonne of sugar may be ascertained, in a textile firm, cost per metre of cloth may be ascertained. Thus, a tonne or metre are cost units. Other types of cost units are kilogram, litre, dozen or gross, cubic foot, room per day, pair or a dozen pairs, etc.

Having being reared in at a time 80’s cheese was force fed from all sides, but having inherited a religious devotion to Punk Rock, it was just inevitable that chaos would rain over our heroes' musical preferences. No-one could, or should, survive listening to The Damned and Joe Dolce in the same sitting, and the resulting bedlam of music brought Cranial Screwtop into existence.
Formed in 2000 by Mark (Drums and Lead Vocals) Cranial Screwtop are an eclectic mix of individuals, every member having a very strong musical background, undertaking a variety of day jobs from Gigolo to Durex Stress Tester J, however all sharing the same vision and passion for covering 80’s Trash in a Punk Rock Style and doing it in the most enthusiastic and fun way possible.
A number of years later and after lots of hard work gigging around Manchester, Sheffield and Liverpool playing numerous venues including Night and Day, Late Room, Hard Rock Café, Manchester Academy 3 and even the odd wedding, the band have gained a strong and loyal fan base from not only their energetic and humorous live shows, but also through their unexpected and original choice of songs. Their set includes covers of Duran Duran, A Flock of Seagulls and The Bangles to name but a few, it also includes covers borrowed from likeminded visionary bands such as China Drum (Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush), No FX (99 Red Balloons by Nena) & Toy Dolls (500 Miles by The Proclaimers). “The whole of their set is full of proven classics re-invented into punk rock delivered with all the attitude and energy that music genre demands”, “you could say that they rescue badly presented 80’s songs and release them back to the wild with their own original and imaginative arrangements” This truly is a covers band unlike any other.
Although never initially intended, in 2007 the band produced their first full length album entitled “Too Fast For Technology” which was released in mid 2007. Not wanting to be accused of standing still, the band are currently working with a new vocalist Nichola to expand their live repertoire and are also experimenting with some original material so who knows what the future will hold? You may see them on the Eurovision Song Contest if only to follow in the footsteps of Buzz Fizz who must form the definition of 80’s Trash, whatever Cranial Screwtop decides to do in the future there is one guarantee they will always make, and live up to: “it will ROCK!!!”

The single was announced in early December by The Sun but was snubbed by fans who believed "My Love Is Pink" was the next single due to the fact that the song was sent to radios and was able to download. This is now however been denied by the record label saying that the promotional cds had only been sent out for clubs and dance radio stations only.[2]
Digital Fine Contrast is a contrast-enhancing display technology introduced in 2006 by LG. It is used in the company's "Flatron" line of TFT monitors and implements a 'smart function' whereby it dynamically detects the characteristics of each frame to be displayed and automatically adjusts its contrast to obtain a sharper and more vivid image. The system comprises three units: ACR(Auto Contents Recognition), DCE(Digital Contrast Enhancer) and DCM(Digital Contrast Mapper)[1].
The initial announcement[2] claimed monitors with DFC could achieve a contrast ratio of 1600:1, while later products have been presented as capable of ratios even as high as 5000:1.

I've come to the utmost conclusion that many cretors have been unamed, in an underground assumption to block the truth. It's a scientific fact that is known; in which our moon had reserved various moons in the 14th century. These moons, eventually falling from the heavens, created what we now know as canyons, valleys, and plateus. In an previously unrecorded experiment, we traveled to the vast unmarked side of the moon; and saw that the last moon "Andromedus", is lodged into the side of our moon, creating a shape of variation that seems to fit the description of an eye. This "eye" has gaseous excretions that are pushing Andromedus, off of this "eye". With the orbit of the moon being in the full hemishpere-rical turn in the year 2012; we've concurred that the eye's gasses will already have used enough force to knock Andromedus into orbit. With Andromedus in orbit, and the moon in the full hemisphere-rical turn, Andromedus will be knocked into our (The Earth's) atmosphere. With the knocking of Andromedus, and the coming of "Planet X"; this will be the worst destructive event in around 300 years. Unfortunately, with this there will be mass casualties, and new canyons, valleys, and plateus will be formed. A huge underground movement will take place, as it will be the only place that will be safe. Personally, I never believed in the Mayan calender or Nostradamus, but now...Unfortunately, the matter is of fact and that fact, is the truth.

Michael Travesser
Introduction
Michael Travesser was born Wayne Bent in 1941. He is the spiritual leader of the sect, The Lord Our Righteousness, which dwells in a place called, Strong City, which consists of about 77 people living in Travesser Park, near Travesser Creek in the U.S. state of New Mexico as well as other devotees around the world. Travesser and his followers believe that he is the Son of God and that he, along with his followers, fulfill the second coming of Jesus.
Life
ravesser converted to Christianity in 1967 while attending a Baptist church in Poway, California. Thereafter, he became a minster in the Seventh-day Adventist Church until 1982, when he left the Adventist ministry. Believing himself to be led by God, he began a seminar called LifeSupports, which eventually brought him into conflict with leaders in the Adventist Church over interpretation of scripture. One of the most prominent Scriptures under debate was Galatians 6:7. As a result, he left the Adventist church in 1987.
In spring of 2000, Travesser led his group to their present location in New Mexico. Here, beginning on October 31, 2000 the group observed a 1260 day "exile into the wilderness" based on Travesser's interpretation of chapter 12 of the Biblical Book of Revelation. The group draws parallels between this time in New Mexico and the time Jesus spent instructing his disciples.
According to calculations, this three and a half year period in the wilderness was to end on April 19, 2004. April 19 would also mark the beginning of the "Time, times, and a dividing of times, which would end on December 15, 2007, which takes them to the 1335 days. Owing to numerous letters from cult members' friends and family, who feared the group would turn militant or suicidal, the FBI kept the group under close surveillance at that time, and interviewing Michael Travesser and his church people to ascertain their intentions. The cult considered such fears to be simply the excited reactions of those who didn't understand them or active persecution from those who hated them. In this also, the group draws parallels to Jesus and his followers being misunderstood or persecuted.
teachings
Michael Travesser claims that all his teachings have been given to him by God. He teaches that the Son of God is the archangel Michael. Michael first appeared in Jesus of Nazareth, making this his first coming. At his second coming, Michael manifested himself in Travesser. However, Travesser does not teach that he is the only person of this second coming. Instead, the Son of God will appear in all who "love his appearing" and will yield to his appearing in them, making them truly the Sons of God. Thus, all of Travesser's followers and anyone else receiving the Anointing, are the actual image of God coming again, as the Anointing appeared in Jesus the first time. Citing Luke 17:21, the group considers that this was the message that Jesus delivered originally. Travesser claims that any "coming of Christ" that is not manifested in an individual is a fraud, thus, Travesser's followers do not await the appearance of Christ in the sky.
In addition to his messianic claims, Travesser says that God told him, "You will always tell the truth."
He says, "Messiah is not a man in the sky, but an awakening of the soul." "No man receives the second coming unless he receives it into himself." Travesser says. "There are thousands of false Christs pointing men to themselves and to their doctrinal theories, but only those who receive Messiah are anointed, and this truth is there for anyone."
Prophesies
Michael Travesser claims that all his teachings have been given to him by God. He teaches that the Son of God is the archangel Michael. Michael first appeared in Jesus of Nazareth, making this his first coming. At his second coming, Michael manifested himself in Travesser. However, Travesser does not teach that he is the only person of this second coming. Instead, the Son of God will appear in all who "love his appearing" and will yield to his appearing in them, making them truly the Sons of God. Thus, all of Travesser's followers and anyone else receiving the Anointing, are the actual image of God coming again, as the Anointing appeared in Jesus the first time. Citing Luke 17:21, the group considers that this was the message that Jesus delivered originally. Travesser claims that any "coming of Christ" that is not manifested in an individual is a fraud, thus, Travesser's followers do not await the appearance of Christ in the sky.
In addition to his messianic claims, Travesser says that God told him, "You will always tell the truth."
He says, "Messiah is not a man in the sky, but an awakening of the soul." "No man receives the second coming unless he receives it into himself." Travesser says. "There are thousands of false Christs pointing men to themselves and to their doctrinal theories, but only those who receive Messiah are anointed, and this truth is there for anyone."
Prophesies
The group believes that Travesser prophesied the September 11, 2001 attacks. On September 10, 2001, he posted the following in his blog:
"You have gone far enough, and now I will show you who it is that rules in the heavens. You have built your Babylonish tower, but I will make the top to break off and its foundations to sink into the mire. You will see the stability of the sand you have built on. You will try everything to save it but it will not be saved."
It should be noted, however, that Travesser's writings contain frequent injunctions against the nation and culture of the United States, which he considers to be decadent, if not outright evil.
Travesser claims that as of April 19, 2004 the world has been left in its sins, cut off from the intercession of Christ, while God's true Sons are called out from participating with the world. This is to correspond to the time after Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead, and is based on prophesies from the Biblical Book of Daniel. The group has seen the fulfillment of most of Michael's prophecies, and the group continues to look forward to the final things that Travessers states are presently unfolding.
Travesser teaches that a year of rest, began in the fall of 2006. This "year of favor", is when all is well with God's people and all is hell with those who hate Him. In the fall of 2007 the year of Jubilee (Jubilee is a year of celebration and forgiveness originally held every 50 years in both Judaism and Christianity) begins. This fall of 2007 will also mark the end of 1335 days mentioned in Daniel 12:12 which occurs December 15, 2007. "Happy is he who waits and comes to the 1335 days." To Travesser's followers that will constitute the end of the process in which they receive their reward from God which also includes the desolation of the earth, which is its reward. Travesser states that beginning July 14, 2006 his work is only the work of judgment. This work was carried out on the Shillum.net Web site, but now is closed. He sees his work of intercession as complete.
Travesser's group looks forward to the fulfillment of Daniel's Prophecy of Seventy Weeks late in 2007. The group counts 490 years (the 70 "weeks" of Daniel's prophesy multiplied by 7 years) since October 31 1517, the date Martin Luther published his 95 Theses. The prophesy of seventy weeks makes reference to the blessing of God's people and concludes with the "desolation of the desolator" (Dan. 9:27). Travesser has stated that a partial fulfillment of this prophesy may indicate the desolation of George W. Bush, who is "desolating the Middle East in his process of democratization."
Travesser claims the results of the United States Senate and House elections of November 7, 2006 support his interpretation of Daniel's prophesy of seventy weeks. The Republican's loss of the majority in both chambers of the United States Congress and specifically the loss of Donald Rumsfeld marks the end (extremity) of the desolator. After this time is the time of trouble such as never was. The threats against Iran are looming large in the minds of the group.
Travesser's current prophesies for the future included looking for the seventh plague of Revelation 16. The time of trouble such as never was is already well underway. It should be noted, however, that Travesser has said the prophesies are more easy to interpret after the events have already occurred. The first plague, says Travesser, the plague of the sore, is fulfilled in the person of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The President of Iran has made the "beast" sore, and the beast is moving to remove this sore. The first strike, says Travesser, was the U.N. sanctions against Iran passed on December 23, 2006. "No man can buy or sell (sanctions), save he that has the mark of the beast."
Michael Travesser has finished publishing the "revelation of the plagues" on his Web site. He declares that the last plague is being poured out into the air, and then it is "done." He does not indicate just exactly when this plague is to be finished, but it is assumed to be before the end of the 70 weeks of years, prophecy in Daniel 9.
Michael Travesser announced the closing of his Web site on March 9, 2007. He said that it would be closed in 7 days from the date of his announcement. He has stated that this is in preparation for him and his people to leave the earth. In his final statement, he indicated his last Web site was intended to announce the pouring out of the seven last plagues that are now falling and which he posted on his Web site. Since that is done, he states that, "It is Done." He stated that the world would not hear from him again. He states that now the time of the final desolation is here
