In every generation, when dangers gather, there is a group of men
and women courageous enough to confront evil and inform the
populace.Sometimes unpleasant truths need to be presented; most of
us would rather stand back and kick a toe in the dirt. You know,
let someone else do it. Someone else is courageous enough to tell
us the truth. Tom Horn & Friends research, publish, and speak
about some of the most important topics of our time. Pandemonium?'s
Engine is the vehicle through which Tom and an elite team of
commentators are informing a still-sleeping public about radical
changes coming to our culture very soon.In particular, the
technological advances that have brought us to the doorstep of
life-altering realities are such that the man-on-the-street is
struggling to make sense of our world. The book you are about to
read is a landmark offering, making such issues as transhumanism
compelling reading. A shadowy world of intrigue, power-grabs, and
seismic changes in daily life is the stuff of sci-fi movies. Yet
the authors contributing to Pandemonium?'s Engine show us in
disturbing detail that these mind-blowing technologies are quite
real.For example, Cris D. Putnam writes in Christian Transhumanism:
Pandemonium?'s Latest Ploy: Transhumanism is a transnational
technocratic trend that promises to break through human biological
limitations by radically redesigning humanity. Sound like a campy
Star Trek episode, or a movie plot from Stanley Kubrick?As a matter
of fact, they are, but rooted in present reality. Change agents in
our world are working feverishly to harness the powers of human
ingenuity, to wreak havoc on our way of life. Chuck Missler writes
in Pandora?'s Box for the 21st Century? The Sorcerer?'s Apprentice
that the seductiveness of medical advances mask a diabolical
agenda. For example, he mentions that the drive to, among other
things, develop receptors that could impinge the constriction of
blood vessels and thus the scourge of hypertension is a source of
optimism. As are drugs that inhibit damage from brain trauma, or
genetic research that could cure diabetes.But Chuck knows that some
researchers would trample over ethical boundaries and move past
such positive research into frontiers humans were not meant to
go.Frederick Meekins chapter, Examples of Transhumanism in Popular
Culture identifies how we have been brought along to accept
technologies. We ve been conditioned, by popular television series
like Star Trek, and films like Spiderman, to subtly be prepared for
radical, sweeping tampering with the human mind and body.John
McTernan writes about embodied intelligence robots, biocomputers,
and other space-age technologies many of us have made the mistake
of believing lie in the realm of fiction. Providing perspective is
Noah Hutchings, who traces advances in technology from the time of
another Noah, to the present time.All these authors, and several
more, provide a searing report on just how ambitious the builders
of the New Babel really are. Pandemonium?'s Engine will stun
you.That?'s good. You need to wake up. History shows that those who
make reasonable preparations are much better equipped to deal with
colossal changes than those who prefer to fully trust their
handlers.I well remember the days when my uncle was on the ground
floor of computer technology, tinkering with those machines the
size of refrigerators. I remember reading George Orwell?'s 1984 and
laughing that such a far-in-the-future could actually arrive. We
are well past 1984, figuratively and literally. Pandemonium?'s
Engine will show you just how far past. Read and prepare.
While Forbidden Gates includes fresh insights for traditional,
tried and true methods of overcoming darkness, it also unveils for
the first time how breakthrough advances in science, technology,
and philosophy including cybernetics, bio-engineering,
nanotechnology, machine intelligence, synthetic biology, and
transhumanism will combine to create mind-boggling game-changes to
everything you have ever known about spiritual warfare.How so?In
recent years, astonishing technological developments have pushed
the frontiers of humanity toward far-reaching morphological
transformation that promises in the very near future to redefine
what it means to be human. An international, intellectual and
fast-growing cultural movement known as transhumanism intends the
use of genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence and
nanotechnology (GRIN technologies) as tools that will radically
redesign our minds, our memories, our physiology, our offspring,
and even perhaps, as Joel Garreau in his bestselling book Radical
Evolution claims, our very souls. The technological, cultural, and
metaphysical shift now under way unapologetically forecasts a
future dominated by this new species of unrecognizably superior
humans, and applications under study now to make this dream reality
are being funded by thousands of government and private research
facilities around the world. As the reader will learn, this
includes among other things rewriting human DNA and combining men
with beasts, a fact that some university studies and transhumanists
believe will not only alter our bodies and souls but could
ultimately open a door to contact with unseen intelligence.As a
result, new modes of perception between things visible and
invisible are expected to challenge the Church in ways that are
historically and theologically unprecedented. Without comprehending
what is quickly approaching in related disciplines of research and
development, vast numbers of believers could be paralyzed by the
most fantastic and most far reaching supernatural implications. The
destiny of each individual as well as the future of their family
will depend on their knowledge of the new paradigm and their
preparedness to face it head on.
