All will be punished by My Righteous Right Hand, says the LORD of Hosts. Expect My punishment, for I cannot stand the wicked in positions of power- Satanists, pedophiles, rapists, occultists, and others engaged in sin. Punish I will, for all have gone astray after their lusts, and there is no one to bring justice for all have been subverted by the enemy, says the LORD. Bribery and coercion have decimated the rule of law in this land, for only the righteous get punished, and the wicked set free. This I cannot stand, for the institutions of law have been subverted to suit the needs of the political people in charge, and the wicked have rule over the courtrooms of the land. This I will punish, and many will go to Hell by My Hand, for they have offended Me, the Living Lord of Hosts, the Great Potentate and Ruler of the land. I Am Judge, I decide who goes to jail, and who stays free. I Am God, and I decide who gets set loose to be free in the land says the LORD. The wicked shall surely be punished, if not by you then definitely by Me. I Am God, the Great Potentate and Lawgiver. All must obey Me, the Living Lord of Hosts. I decide who should be punished, and the wicked shall be no more. The wicked pedophiles, and Satanists, homosexuals of all kinds shall be rounded up and cast into My furnace of fire, and there they shall stay for all eternity, for they have offended Me with their wickedness, and the cries of the little children abused have risen before Me, the Living Lord of Hosts. And they shall be avenged, says My God, for their cries have entered into My ears, and I Am incensed, even burning with wrath and rage until they be punished. Into eternal Hell they shall go, for they will not repent, but continue in their crimes and Satanisms, until they be stopped by Me. Expect national calamities to decimate them, and diseases galore shall consume their flesh. And quick into the grave they shall go, wicked people of vice and sin galore. They shall be punished by My hand, and their wickedness shall not save them, but rather consume them, says the Living Lord of Hosts. Amen and amen."

"I will destroy the pervert government, My son. Expect it! It has gone on for far too long. I will destroy, and there will be no one left. All will be punished by My Righteous Right Hand, says the LORD of Hosts. Expect My punishment, for I cannot stand the wicked in positions of power- Satanists, pedophiles, rapists, occultists, and others engaged in sin. Punish I will, for all have gone astray after their lusts, and there is no one to bring justice for all have been subverted by the enemy, says the LORD. Bribery and coercion have decimated the rule of law in this land, for only the righteous get punished, and the wicked set free. This I cannot stand, for the institutions of law have been subverted to suit the needs of the political people in charge, and the wicked have rule over the courtrooms of the land. This I will punish, and many will go to Hell by My Hand, for they have offended Me, the Living Lord of Hosts, the Great Potentate and Ruler of the land. I Am Judge, I decide who goes to jail, and who stays free. I Am God, and I decide who gets set loose to be free in the land says the LORD. The wicked shall surely be punished, if not by you then definitely by Me. I Am God, the Great Potentate and Lawgiver. All must obey Me, the Living Lord of Hosts. I decide who should be punished, and the wicked shall be no more. The wicked pedophiles, and Satanists, homosexuals of all kinds shall be rounded up and cast into My furnace of fire, and there they shall stay for all eternity, for they have offended Me with their wickedness, and the cries of the little children abused have risen before Me, the Living Lord of Hosts. And they shall be avenged, says My God, for their cries have entered into My ears, and I Am incensed, even burning with wrath and rage until they be punished. Into eternal Hell they shall go, for they will not repent, but continue in their crimes and Satanisms, until they be stopped by Me. Expect national calamities to decimate them, and diseases galore shall consume their flesh. And quick into the grave they shall go, wicked people of vice and sin galore. They shall be punished by My hand, and their wickedness shall not save them, but rather consume them, says the Living Lord of Hosts. Amen and amen."

The Punishment of Homosexuals
“Homosexuals will burn in Hell forever! My soul detests them. They are evil. I will punish them forever. My son, why do they desire men? Because they are held captive by spirits of evil. Sodomy has a hold on them. They desire lust. They live for it. That is all they crave. They shall be punished forever! I can’t stand them. As in days of old, flying balls of fire shall consume them on the streets of America, even San Francisco, that city of lust and evil desire. I shall punish all that go astray from My natural concepts, plans I made for all mankind. For a man shall desire a woman, and not that of a man himself. For I shall punish all who go astray after men. Did I not punish those of old, even those in Sodom and Gomorrah, and that of neighboring towns with My flaming balls of sulfur? So repent you wicked sodomites and inherit eternal life forever. For I have much for those who overcome their carnal nature of sin, even eternal life! So repent wicked ones of sin and vice. Your Lord has spoken.”
The Punishment of My Gay People
"Tell My homosexuals that I Am against them in all they do. I will punish them in flaming fire and lava in deepest Hell forever! They must repent or I will punish them with such unbearable agony in rivers of flaming fire and molten magma. For they were full of lust to all mankind, their punishment will be equal to their sin on Earth, only magnified greatly in eternal punishment. Their deed proceed them, and I will require their punishment to be forever in agonizing lust. For they never overcame their lust for men while on Earth, and they will suffer the punishment forever in deepest Hell. Millions will join them to be punished forever and ever in flaming fire, all bound together in chains, forever locked together. That is My punishment in Hell to all overcome with lust towards mankind. Your Lord has spoken, amen."
How I Will Punish My Wicked LGBT Crowd

They are a very wicked crowd, and they shall transmit all manner of deadly diseases between them. Next, I shall punish them in Hell forever. But that is not all. After the great and terrible Day of Judgment before the Great White Throne, I shall punish them forever in the eternal burning Lake of Fire. There they shall roast in flames of liquid fire forever and ever, with burrowing fiery worms boring through their bodies with no let up or respite forever, My son. My LGBT crowd shall be punished for their wickedness in My Presence forever, says the LORD. Amen.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

“How to Look Good Naked” – Lifetime Television: Reality television show that gives
makeovers to women who are dissatisfied with their appearance. (Note: there is no
actual nudity). A Marine wife from MCB Camp Pendleton applied to be on the show and
was accepted (though she doesn’t know yet). Since the woman and her family live in
base housing, they’ve asked to film aboard base and film her husband during the reveal
time. Forwarded to HQMC for their opinion, because the host is Carson Kressley,
former host of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. HQMC said they are okay with
proceeding, and so support is expected to be given on three separate occasions during
the month of July. Production Assistance Agreement has been sent to the
production company, awaiting signature. MTF as it develops.

“Transformers 2” – Paramount Pictures: Joint planning held Feb. 13 to discuss the
military’s role in the sequel, due out in June 2009. Production is expected to begin this
summer, most likely in June. At the meeting we pitched the idea of having some of the
lead military characters to be MARSOC portrayals, and most seemed to like it. Script is
in development right now due to the Writers strike just being lifted. DoD has given
support agreement letter, has been appointed the Marine Corps Project
Officer. So far, it looks like the want to use Marine extras in several scenes; they want
to film a CH-53 in several different locations; they want to use tanks doing an
amphibious landing on an LCAC; and they potentially want to film using one of the
beaches at Camp Pendleton. MTF as situation develops. Production has begun and
should carry through the fall. New projected for CH-53 in San Diego is early October

Marine Corps and the DoD as a whole. Screened the movie April 29, 2008, and it
looks great. Anticipate this will be a very good film for the Marine Corps when it
releases. The producers said that when they’ve screened it for various
audiences, they have gotten really amazing feedback, and a lot of times people
say they had no idea the military did what they do for every service member that
is KIA. Release date on HBO is expected to be sometime in the of Fall 2008.
Once the air date gets set, we will begin to coordinate DoD screenings and
USMC-specific screenings. http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt1019454/ /Z
“Terminator 4: Salvation” – Warner Bros.: Newest Terminator movie is expected to
begin production in May 2008. We had an initial, joint meeting with the producers of the
show to discuss their idea of the kind of support they are looking for. From the Marine
Corps’ perspective, they’ve asked to have Hueys and potentially Cobras be a part of
filming sometime in May or June 2008. They will be filming in New Mexico, and have
not revised the first draft of their script due to the Writer’s Guild strike. It appears there
will be little to no support required of the Marine Corps (almost exclusively Air
Force). MTF if that changes. http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0438488/ /Z

an AAV and meet that the Marines of that unit; fire a grenade launcher simulator; and
observe a Marine Corps Martial Arts demonstration. When the producers heard what

“Transformers 2” – Paramount Pictures: Joint planning held Feb. 13 to discuss the
military’s role in the sequel, due out in June 2009. Production is expected to begin this

lead military characters to be MARSOC portrayals, and most seemed to like it. Script is
in development right now due to the Writers strike just being lifted. DoD has given
support agreement letter has been appointed the Marine Corps Project
Officer. So far, it looks like the want to use Marine extras in several scenes; they want
to film a CH-53 in several different locations; they want to use tanks doing an
amphibious landing on an LCAC; and they potentially want to film using one of the
beaches at Camp Pendleton. MTF as situation develops. Production has begun and
