Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command — 1 Chronicles 12:32
I feel sorry for Obama, in a way. I mean, it can’t be easy being a demon-possessed incompetent fool who is pathologically incapable of acknowledging personal responsibility for ANYTHING.
Just last week during the Benghazi hearing I heard Democrat after Democrat wax indignant that Republicans were “wasting” $5 million on a hearing into the murder of the first United States Ambassador since 1979 who had begged and pleaded for additional security more than 600 times to deaf State Department ears. It also just happened to come up that Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State had personally and repeatedly lied to the American people and had literally lied while standing directly over the flag-draped coffins of men who deserved better than America gave them.
Doesn’t matter. It was an appalling waste of money.
Let’s see how many Democrats become appalled at the waste of more than $1.4 BILLION – 280 TIMES what they were appalled about when Hillary Clinton’s lies were being revealed – and counting as this giant blimp drags a huge 5,000-foot tether cable across power line after power line until it either massively explodes or is shot down.
Major cities across the United States are seeing their crime rates skyrocket, sparking alarm about the causes, particularly given that there had been a two-decade drop in crime.
A city-by-city look shows:
In Baltimore, shootings are up 82.5 percent, or nearly double from last year, the Baltimore Brew reported.
In Chicago, there have been over 900 shootings this year, a 40 percent increase, and a 29 percent increase in homicides in the first three months of the year, USA Today reported.
In New York City, murders have increased 20 percent and the mayor has already announced that he will put an additional 330 cops on the street by Monday in response to the spike in homicides and shootings.
In Los Angeles, violent crime rates increased by more than 25 percent and the city is also deploying more officers to areas where crime is on the rise, The Los Angeles Times reported.
In St. Louis, there have been 55 murders this year
In Dallas, violent crime is up 10 percent
In Atlanta, homicides are up 32 percent
In Milwaukee, homicides have increased by 180 percent
Some attribute the rise in crime to a “Ferguson” effect, or a rise in anti-police sentiment born out of the protests and clashes around the country that followed the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of police, The Week reported.
A dynamic may have emerged in which criminals are more brazen and police are more cautious in fighting crime.
“There’s a war on cops. Not bad cops, not bad apples, but all cops and the police know it. The conduct of the suspects is never in question — they’re always right, it’s usually drawn on racial lines. It’s a complete, toxic formula to actually do police work,” said former Los Angeles Police Department Homicide Detective Mark Fuhrman, according to Townhall.com.
“The police are simply scaling back, exactly what everybody’s chanting for in all of these protests. ‘Don’t be so aggressive. Don’t stop and frisk. Don’t stop and ask where people are going. Don’t make traffic stops.’ So, they are,” Fuhrman said, and now crime’s skyrocketing.
Oh, that’s just some right-wing rag, Democrats who worship their Fuehrer say. Okay, let’s try another one, then:
MILWAUKEE — Cities across the nation are seeing a startling rise in murders after years of declines, and few places have witnessed a shift as precipitous as this city. With the summer not yet over, 104 people have been killed this year — after 86 homicides in all of 2014.
More than 30 other cities have also reported increases in violence from a year ago. In New Orleans, 120 people had been killed by late August, compared with 98 during the same period a year earlier. In Baltimore, homicides had hit 215, up from 138 at the same point in 2014. In Washington, the toll was 105, compared with 73 people a year ago. And in St. Louis, 136 people had been killed this year, a 60 percent rise from the 85 murders the city had by the same time last year. […]
Well, but that’s just New York or it’s just regional, Democrats say. Because Democrats are WRONG:
19 people were shot last weekend in Los Angeles, and five were killed, as the city’s homicide rate continues to rise, despite a program instituted and championed by L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti to reduce crime in the city.
The Los Angeles Times reported that LAPD Chief Charlie Beck acknowledged that it had been a “very, very tough weekend” and that homicides had risen almost 11% in 2015. He added that gang-related crime was up roughly 15.6% from 2014.
Beck informed the weekly meeting of the Police Commission’s board that the majority of the shootings were triggered by gang violence.
Beck insisted that programs have been implemented to reduce violence: “This is not Dodge City. And unfortunately it looked a little too much like Dodge City this weekend.”
39 people were killed in Los Angeles in August, more than any month in six years.
Now, we can also consider Proposition 47 – the morally idiotic law passed entirely by stupid, evil Democrats to basically let criminals run out of our prisons and go hog-wild on our streets. Democrats sowed the wind for us and now we get to all reap the whirlwind of their moral idiocy. But Prop 47 isn’t to blame for everywhere else:
The nation’s two-decades-long crime decline may be over. Gun violence in particular is spiraling upward in cities across America. In Baltimore, the most pressing question every morning is how many people were shot the previous night. Gun violence is up more than 60% compared with this time last year, according to Baltimore police, with 32 shootings over Memorial Day weekend. May has been the most violent month the city has seen in 15 years.
In Milwaukee, homicides were up 180% by May 17 over the same period the previous year. Through April, shootings in St. Louis were up 39%, robberies 43%, and homicides 25%. “Crime is the worst I’ve ever seen it,” said St. Louis Alderman Joe Vacarro at a May 7 City Hall hearing.
Murders in Atlanta were up 32% as of mid-May. Shootings in Chicago had increased 24% and homicides 17%. Shootings and other violent felonies in Los Angeles had spiked by 25%; in New York, murder was up nearly 13%, and gun violence 7%.
Those citywide statistics from law-enforcement officials mask even more startling neighborhood-level increases. Shooting incidents are up 500% in an East Harlem precinct compared with last year; in a South Central Los Angeles police division, shooting victims are up 100%.
America is suffering an explosion of Democrat Party- and Obama-viciousness.
Now I would like to show you HOW Obama has created this surge in violence in an article that appeared today in the Los Angeles Times under the print headline “A ‘hammer’ for policing the police” and with the subtitle “Under Obama, the Justice Department veered from memos about abuse and headed for court“:
In the previous four years under President George W. Bush, the Justice Department had stopped taking police departments to court over allegations of misconduct or violations of civil rights. But Thomas Perez, a liberal former Justice Department lawyer, had just been nominated to take over the civil rights division by President Obama, and he was determined to play hardball with rogue cops and departments.
In the nearly seven years since Obama came to office, his Justice Department has investigated 21 police departments — big departments, including New Orleans and Detroit, and small ones, such as East Haven and Ferguson, Mo.
But rather than reach informal agreements to correct misconduct, as the Bush administration often preferred, most of the cases under Obama ended up in court, either in settlements approved and monitored by a judge, or, in a few examples, with lawsuits filed by the federal government against police departments and officers.
“Under Bush, the Department of Justice took the view that they could not force, or did not want to force, police departments into court,” said Stephen Rushin, a professor at the University of Alabama Law School and an expert on federal enforcement of police reform. “Under the Obama administration, they take the view that if a city isn’t willing to play ball, that the DOJ will go to court and force that city to comply.”
The department’s civil rights division has relied heavily on a 20-year-old enforcement law, passed in the wake of the 1991 Rodney King beating in Los Angeles, using it as a legal “hammer” to pressure police departments into signing court-enforced settlement agreements and do extensive monitoring to measure their progress, said Joshua Chanin, a professor at San Diego State University. “The Obama administration is using it more actively than past presidents have,” he said.
Many on the left applaud the new, tougher approach, saying it has sent a strong message to local law enforcement agencies that misconduct, abuse and overzealous or racist behavior will not be tolerated.
But others question whether the department, with only about 18 lawyers to oversee roughly 16,000 police departments, is making a dent in the problem.
The Obama administration is also facing a backlash over its tactics. Heather Mac Donald, author and fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said the Justice Department has effectively “declared open season” on police departments.
Obama declared “open-season” on police departments. And he did it in the most underhanded, snotty way imaginable.
After detailing examples of how the Obama Justice Department just came in and demonized and slandered good police and good policing, one official said this:
“The Department of Justice is engaging community after community in what seems like an oppressive bargaining process where you know they are going to sue and get you [into a] very, very, costly back-and-forth from which you will certainly lose,” said Ron Hosko, a former assistant FBI director and president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, which provides legal support to police accused of misconduct.
It’s called “the jackbooted-fascist-THUG” approach. And Obama has used it over and over again to impose his dictatorship.
It comes down to this little factoid: Bush brought crime DOWN. Obama has caused crime to SKYROCKET. Somebody has MASSIVELY screwed up the engines of society.
The Director of the FBI had this to say just a couple of days ago:
CHICAGO — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said on Friday that the additional scrutiny and criticism of police officers in the wake of highly publicized episodes of police brutality may have led to an increase in violent crime in some cities as officers have become less aggressive.
With his remarks, Mr. Comey lent the prestige of the F.B.I., the nation’s most prominent law enforcement agency, to a theory that is far from settled: that the increased attention on the police has made officers less aggressive and emboldened criminals. But he acknowledged that there is so far no data to back up his assertion and that it may be just one of many factors that are contributing to the rise in crime, like cheaper drugs and an increase in criminals who are being released from prison.
“I don’t know whether that explains it entirely, but I do have a strong sense that some part of the explanation is a chill wind that has blown through American law enforcement over the last year,” Mr. Comey said in a speech at the University of Chicago Law School.
Mr. Comey’s remarks caught officials by surprise at the Justice Department, where his views are not shared at the top levels. Holding the police accountable for civil rights violations has been a top priority at the department in recent years, and some senior officials do not believe that scrutiny of police officers has led to an increase in crime. While the department had no immediate comment on Friday, several officials privately fumed at Mr. Comey’s suggestion.
You know, the same officials who privately cheered when their incredibly cynical “Justice” Department managed to decide not to prosecute Lois Lerner or ANY IRS official for clearly targeting conservative groups as Obama weaponized the IRS into his own “Internal Revenge Service.” It doesn’t matter whether the woman scrubbed her emails, it doesn’t matter that the emails we were able to find showed a CLEAR rabid bias – such as when she literally called conservatives “terrorists” and “crazies” and “a**holes” – Obama said his IRS was pure as the driven snow, and pure as the driven snow his Justice Department therefore claimed Obama’s IRS was.
The Black Lives Matter bowel movement came right out of the toxic, wicked soul of Barack Obama. It was born because all of Obama’s slanderous Communist show-trial investigations kept publicly delegitimizing police and undermining trust in law enforcement. In short, Obama provided the Black Lives Matter movement everything they needed to demonize the police.
And it is therefore because of Obama that we have Democrats chanting:
Allen West summed it up well: “Black Lies Matter.” Police officers have literally repeatedly been ASSASSINATED across America as a result of these wicked Obama lies.
Police have been intimidated by Obama and his lawsuits and his armies of demon-possessed thug-mobs out of doing their jobs. And society is suffering as a result.
You’ve got to ask the question: what do Obama and his liberal roach army want? I mean, why would they be de-legitimizing the police at every single turn across the nation? And the answer is actually quite simple (and quite terrifying): because liberals worship mega-government; they worship totalitarianism. What they want – and what they will keep agitating for as they exploit the liberal maxim, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste” – is a Soviet Union-style “People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs.”
In short, what the left wants is a true nakedly politicized “law enforcement agency” that will essentially be the Obama (and then the Clinton, and so on ad nauseam) Police Force. They want to do to our police what they’ve already pulled off with the IRS. No Christian, no conservative, need ever run for any office again when Democrats get their way, because there will inevitably be an “investigation” that will surely find that Christian or that conservative guilty.
It won’t ever find a Hillary Clinton guilty, even though she’s about fifty-thousand times more guilty of the crime they destroyed our greatest war hero over.
You want another current example of what I’m talking about? I just recently threw up over this one:
Today, the big crowds have faded. But a cadre of activists under the Black Lives Matter banner have kept the movement alive in the city with smaller but decidedly aggressive protests targeting top L.A. police officials and the mayor.
The disruptive tactics pose a political challenge for city leaders who are still struggling to effectively engage the activists about issues that have prompted heated debate across the country.
Protesters have camped outside police headquarters and regularly disrupted the city Police Commission’s weekly meetings, turning normally dry public hearings into hours-long confrontations that frequently devolve into officers clearing demonstrators from the room.
The group has also set its sights on Mayor Eric Garcetti. A summer protest outside his Windsor Square home turned into an embarrassing episode, captured on video and spread on the Internet, when he left through a back gate for a trip to Washington, D.C.
On Monday, about 50 of the group’s supporters confronted the mayor at a town hall meeting in South Los Angeles, forcing Garcetti to make a hasty retreat to his car, surrounded by police and shouting audience members.
[… WARNING: VOMIT ALERT. HERE IT COMES …]
After Monday’s clash, city leaders took great pains to support the rights of the protesters and the thrust of their message.
Garcetti, speaking to reporters Tuesday morning, pointedly declined to criticize the protesters’ conduct the night before.
“As mayor, that’s part of the job. Sometimes people scream. Sometimes people shout,” he said. “Any person who talks about their frustrations … you know, those are real problems with jobs, with housing, with policing. But I just keep doing the work.”
Imagine instead of “Black Lives Matter” the group that shut down city hall was called “Aryan Brotherhood.” The same city leadership that did NOTHING and REFUSED TO EVEN CRITICIZE the mob would have ordered the police to use the most vicious attics in the arsenal to put down the demonstration.
How many white organizations have had the mayor of the city they were rioting in say, “We gave them space to destroy?”
Or take Obama’s refusal to do ANYTHING to enforce our illegal immigration LAWS or do anything to enforce cities whose “sanctuary” policies flout those laws? Just take a moment to ponder how Obama would be dealing with this issue if three-quarters of Hispanics voted REPUBLICAN. He would use every jackbooted tactic in his book to break them, crush them, destroy them.
This is the most blatantly politicized and ideologized “Justice” the world has ever seen outside a communist dictatorship. Which is precise what Obama is trying to achieve.
Bottom line, in Obama’s “AmeriKKKa” Obama ripped off the blindfold of Lady Justice and all his new version of “JustiSS” sees race and political ideology such that he WILL use his lawthugs to attack ANY group or ANY organization that doesn’t see the world the way Obama wants the world to be seen.
It’s a rather massive act of blindness that neither Obama nor his Black Lives Matter mob give one flying DAMN about the fact that more than 93% of black people are murdered by other black people. Obama cynically and brutally exploits every death at every opportunity to demonize the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution and the fundamental right to ear arms that it enshrines. He doesn’t give one flying DAMN that black thugs are using guns to murder other black people because he is a truly wicked man who can cynically demagogue the violence as he uses it to advance his true target of seizing guns from law-abiding WHITE people. THAT’S the goal, THAT’S the agenda.
So basically, what I described above is a Hitler-style Führer-thug who like a parasite sucks up all the blood his policies have generated and uses that blood to nourish even MORE wicked policies.
Three people were killed and 22 injured when a car plowed into a crowd at the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade Saturday in Stillwater, according to officials.
The driver was taken into custody for driving under the influence after the horrific crash after 10:30 a.m. The case was being treated like a homicide investigation.
Police said the vehicle, a Hyundai Elantra, smashed into an unmanned police motorcycle on Main Street and then into a crowd of people at the parade.
Eight of the injured were in critical condition, seven in serious condition and seven others were less seriously injured, police said
“We are heartbroken,” said Mayor Gina Noble.
Witnesses told the Associated Press that they saw a vehicle careen into the crowd.
“We heard somebody scream, ‘Look out!.’ (He) plowed through a police motorcycle, and then a crowd of people,” Dave Kapple told the Associated Press. “People were flying everywhere.”
Most other countries don’t have anywhere NEAR as many deaths caused by cars as the United States. I mean, look at SWEDEN!
People don’t kill people; guns kill people. Wait, I mean CARS kill people.
Which is another way of pointing a finger at Republicans as being responsible for the murders of 37,000 innocent people.
How much longer is this entirely preventable tragedy going to continue??? There should be no right to own a car when cars murder so many innocent people. Think about it; guns are evil because they hurl out small metal objects at great speed. CARS ARE LARGE GIANT METAL OBJECTS THAT TRAVEL AT GREAT SPEED.
Every car is like a great big giant bullet. And hundreds of people are being killed by these great big giant bullets every day in America. And this horror needs to STOP and your rights and your freedoms be DAMNED.
We’re clearly too stupid to be trusted with the right to keep and bear arms OR cars. We need fascist Democrats to take away our freedoms so we won’t use them to hurt ourselves like kindergarten kids racing around with scissors. We need to be herded into large zoos – I mean cities – and taken care of by our bureaucrats who ALONE can be trusted with our best interests.
Whenever you look at an electoral map, recognize that it’s basically the difference between the farm animal herded-into-zoos vote versus those who love freedom:
That’s what Democrats are for, to put the farm animals in their proper place. And of course, to subjugate the REST of us, as well.
If we were human beings created in the image of God, that would be one thing. But Democrats know that we evolved from the nastiest form of slime and we’re nothing more than glorified monkeys. And you just shouldn’t allow a damn monkey to have a gun.
PLEASE vote Democrat, mindless farm animals; you’re just too damn stupid to be trusted to vote for anything else.
In the face of a wave of vicious knife attacks in which rabid Palestinian youth are slashing at any Jew they can find with a knife. There have been NUMEROUS vicious “lone-wolf-style” attacks so far in Israel against Jews whose crime was being Jewish in a world that hates Jews.
The Palestinian leadership, including the Palestinian Prime Minister himself, have been egging on those attacks. They maliciously and falsely began reporting that Jews were destroying the Al Aqsa Mosque. They began publishing on their state-controlled television and in their state-controlled schools propaganda material such as “How to kill a Jew” detailing the points to stab Jews. At the very top levels of their leadership, there are “Statements by Fatah, Hamas and PIJ spokespersons have described the attacks as “heroic actions” and “the natural response to Israel’s crimes.” These leaders of the Palestinian people are publicly and routinely broadcasting outright lies, with the Prime Minister claiming that the Jews had “executed” a Palestinian terrorist who had just viciously attacked a 13-year-old Jewish boy with a knife. That was a lie, but when does the truth matter in these dark days just before the Antichrist?
One of those who hates Jews is Barack Obama.
Amazingly, Obama Administration tools have continued to mock – I mean make – the claim that Obama has been the most pro-Israel president like EVER. I mean, you know, aside from Hitler, who loved Jews so much he decided to keep them all nice and warm by putting them in ovens. I mean, okay, Obama has been calling for Israel to return to the completely indefensible pre-1967 borders which would force them to give up their holy city of Jerusalem – but pissing on their religion is good for them, I mean, right? – and force them to die to the last man trying to keep a border that is only nine miles wide from being cut which would cut the nation in half and allow the hundreds of millions of Muslims on all sides of them to kill them all. Obama wants Israel to be forced to give all the strategically vital high places to the enemy so that they can rain down artillery fire that would destroy them city by city. The Muslims are already showing their desire to do precisely that in their incessant launching of rockets. And you need to understand that those thousands and thousands of rocket attacks were made possible because the Obamas of the world talked Israel into withdrawing from Gaza.
UNITED NATIONS — U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said Friday that Iran’s recent ballistic missile test was “a clear violation” of U.N. sanctions.
Power said that after reviewing available information the United States has confirmed that the medium-range ballistic missile launched on Oct. 10 was “inherently capable of delivering a nuclear weapon.”
Can anyone explain to me why Iran continues to work on ballistic missiles if they truly aren’t determined to build a nuclear warhead to put on the damn missiles???
Just like every opponent of the deal said Iran would do. Only they didn’t even wait for the damn INK to dry before they showed what a butcher Obama will be the moment Iran gets nuclear weapons AND the ballistic missiles to deliver them BECAUSE of Obama’s damn deal.
Obama is either a militant atheist or he is a Muslim. The only reason I wouldn’t just flat-out call him a Muslim is because Obama is such an arrogant narcissist that it’s hard to believe he believes there is actually a deity greater than himself. Obama has called himself a Christian and even gone into a church a very few times during his presidency – much the way I could call myself a car and lay down on a parking space. The problem is that Obama’s “Christianity” has about as much to do with what the Bible teaches as the homosexual marriage he imposed on America. Obama is considered a “Christian” to a postmodern nation that has wildly abandoned the concept of “truth” and therefore believes we each create our own “truth” – as long as that “truth” is deemed politically correct. So Obama claims he’s a Christian and that’s supposed to settle the matter – you know, the same way that if Donald Trump claims he cherishes women then every Democrat ought to accept that claim at face value. But the fact of the matter is that Obama’s “Christianity” is utterly incompatible with Christianity according to the Holy Book that DEFINES Christianity.
So what is biblical faith?
Look at this PDF handout and read the Bible verses. Biblical Christianity versus cultural (pseudo) Christianity:
“… working on issues of crime and education and employment and seeing that in some ways certain portions of the African American community are doing as bad if not worse, and recognizing that my fate remain tied up with their fates, that my individual salvation is not going to come about without a collective salvationfor the country.
– can be found in the Word of God. Because it CAN’T be found. It is a lie. It may sound nice, it may sound selfless, but it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what the Holy Bible teaches about salvation. What Obama is doing is claiming that only by his socialism, only by his economic Marxism, only by imposing his vile ideology onto the world and only by perverting true biblical Christianity with his socialist blasphemy and creating a “secular humanist theocracy” that makes Government the Savior and Provider rather than God and His people, can there be salvation. That is a LIE from the devil.
Obama is telling us that he – and implicitly all the rest of us unless he’s such a malignant narcissist that he is arguing that God has a different way of saying Barack Obama from the rest of mankind – are saved not by faith in Jesus Christ but by the works we do. And specifically that work is the work of leftist socialists making the human State more powerful. He’s telling us the only way to salvation is to bring the work of human socialist Government to the country. We’re all saved by Government, not by faith in God in Christ.
Barack Obama is dead, wicked, demonic wrong.
And any true Christian knows it.
During Jesus’ ministry on earth, the crowds heard His teaching and asked him this question: “What must we do to do the works God requires?” (John 6:28). And Jesus answered:
“This is the ONLY work God wants from you: believe in the One He has sent.” (John 6:29).
Everything Barack Obama believes is in massive, fundamental contradiction to what Jesus taught. Obama doesn’t believe in Jesus, worship Jesus, or have ANY part in Jesus or in His Church; Obama’s “god” is GOVERNMENT. It is Government that he is determined to exalt and he is using his wicked government to routinely persecute true Christians while he allows true Christians all over the world to be murdered in the greatest numbers in all of human history.
I mean, let’s compare and contrast Obama’s belief in “collective salvation” through his government-as-savior with what actual biblical Christianity teaches (as I’ve presented before):
What does Jesus say? Consider Matthew 16:24-25:
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If any one (individual) wishes to come after Me, he (individual) must deny himself (individual), and take up his (individual) cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his (individual) life will lose it; but whoever loses his (individual) life for My sake will find it.
Consider 2 Corinthians 5:10 for the thoughts of St. Paul:
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one (individual) may be recompensed for his (individual) deeds in the body, according to what he (individual) has done, whether good or bad.
And again, St. Paul in Romans 14:12:
So then each one of us (individual) will give an account of himself (individual) to God.
Or consider Galatians 2:20:
“I (individual) have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I (individual) who live, but Christ lives in me (individual); and the life which I (individual) now live in the flesh I (individual) live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me (individual), and delivered Himself up for me (individual).”
And, again, in the words of Jesus as recorded in Revelation 3:20:
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any one (individual) hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him (individual) and will dine with him (individual), and he (individual) with Me.”
Barack Obama is most certainly not a Christian to so miserably misunderstand that we are EACH INDIVIDUALLY saved by our PERSONAL faith in Jesus Christ through what He did for us on the cross. This is not some esoteric “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” sort of question; it is a core fundamental of the Christian faith.
Barack Obama’s concept of “salvation” frankly is “a doctrine of demons” that “preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we [the apostles] preached.” Which is why Obama has a “different spirit” from the Holy Spirit Who fills genuine Christian believers. St. Paul in his second to last letter before his martyrdom nailed the essence of Barack Hussein Obama:
Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. — 1 Timothy 4:1
And the last days is precisely where we ARE, baby. And we have a son of hell as our president to lead us to that promised land of hell.
Now that I have documented that Barack Obama’s gospel has nothing whatsoever to do with the teachings of the apostles or the Bible they wrote through the Holy Spirit, let me share this:
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! — Galatians 1:8
The literal Greek rendering is “let them be damned by God.” And Barack Obama and because of Barack Obama the nation he leads are under God’s curse as a result of Obama’s deceiving wickedness.
Obama worships GOVERNMENT, not God. He believes inherently in human Government as his power that saves us. That’s NOT what the Bible teaches about human government. Jesus Christ will ultimately be the Rock that smashes and DESTROYS wicked human government (Daniel 2:44-45). God condemned wicked man’s desire to replace Him with human government (1 Samuel 8:4-22). When Jesus was on earth, and the crowds were hungry, He did NOT order His disciples to go to King Herod or Governor Pilate to start a government welfare program; He told them YOU (the CHURCH) feed them (Matthew 14:14-21).
Barack Obama is NOT a Christian; he is a wicked man with a wicked agenda to replace people’s faith in God with his own blind faith in human government.
Obama calls himself a “Christian”? SERIOUSLY? Even the NEW YORK TIMES is openly asking this question that is a result of Barack Hussein Obama’s wicked policies:
Is This the End of Christianity in the Middle East?
ISIS and other extremist movements across the region are enslaving, killing and uprooting Christians, with no aid in sight.
By ELIZA GRISWOLDJULY 22, 2015
It is an amazing aspect of what St. Paul referred to as “the secret power of lawlessness” that in the last days a man would call himself a “Christian” while doing more harm to Christ and His Body than every human being before him combined. Millions of Christians are either fleeing or they are murdered or they are sex slaves to Islamic State animals because of the brutal contempt Barack Obama has demonstrated for the followers of Christ.
Barack Obama has made it his mission in life to destroy religious freedom and the conscience of Christians. Christians no longer have the right to their Bible or their conscience under this demon-possessed man. He is coercing them and punishing them if they take any stand against the abortion that has murdered sixty million innocent babies in flagrant violation of Psalm 139 or if they take any stand against the homosexual marriage that is promised to bring God’s WRATH according to Romans chapter one. He’s a bully and a tyrant who has attacked the Christian baker and the Christian florist and the Christian wedding photographer and the Christian fire chief and the Christian county clerk and he will not stop until he’s attacked every true Christian in every true Christian church.
Barack Obama has inaugurated a demonic America where you can choose your Christian faith or you can choose “personal ruin.”
What is “religious liberty”? What is “free speech”? It is a threat to liberalism and it must be quashed in the interest of the State. Just as the 2nd Amendment and the right of the people to keep and bear arms so they can resist tyranny is a threat to liberalism that must be quashed in the interest of the State.
Freedom is an anathema to the Democratic Party member. You must be placed in a position of submission where you are compelled by the naked power of the State to do what liberals want you to. In that the liberal is no different from the jihadist Muslim.
Barack Obama’s “faith” is not in God, but in Government. He worships the State, and the unholy POWER of the State to impose socialism which has always before been state atheism. Only Obama’s form of state atheism is like an M&M candy with aforementioned atheism masquerading as a secular humanistic version of universalistic “Christiantiy.”
You call Obama a Christian. I call you a LIAR. I call you a demon-possessed moral idiot.
As Palestinians assailants continue to murder Jews across Israel, the Obama administration on Wednesday accused the Jewish state of committing acts of “terrorism,” drawing outrage from many observers.
As the number of Israelis murdered during a streak of Palestinian terrorism continues to rise, the Obama administration sought to equate the sides and told reporters that, in its view, Israel is guilty of terrorism.
“Individuals on both sides of this divide are—have proven capable of, and in our view, are guilty of acts of terrorism,” State Department Spokesman John Kirby told reporters following questions about the spike in violence.
Kirby also said the administration has obtained “credible reports” of Israelis using excessive force as it deals with a rash of terrorist murders carried out by Palestinians seeking to cause havoc and spark an intifada.
I’ll give you some examples of “individuals on both sides” being “terrorists”: how about Jews destroy the Dome of the Rock the way Muslims just destroyed Joseph’s Tomb??? How about if Benjamin Netanyahu directly incites acts of violence with anti-Palestinian LIES the way Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas falsely and maliciously publicly claimed that Israel had “executed” a Palestinian youth whose only crime was trying to slash to death a 13-year-old Israeli boy??? See here and here for that one.
Barack Obama is a demon-possessed man who seethes with hatred for God and for God’s people, whether they be Christians or Jews.
He embodies the spirit of antichrist. And soon the one true Antichrist will be revealed. This coming world leader will be a master deceiver. He will take total power over all government and Government shall be his weapon against the faithful. He will take total power over the economy and will institute the infamous mark of the beast, by which no one will be able to buy or sell ANYTHING without having taken that mark that will cause all who accept it to burn in hell.
That spirit is now alive in America as it has never been in the entire history of the republic.
I tell you, Obama is about to fulfill the last-days war of Gog-Magog with his demon-possessed foolishness. He has not only allowed, he has practically INVITED, Russia to enter Syria so they could destroy every vestige of the US-backed rebels Obama cowardly turned his back on after YEARS of dithering as a quarter million Syrians were slaughtered. Russia in turn invited Iran. Right on the doorstep of Israel. Just as the prophet Ezekiel declared would happen in the last days more than 2,600 years ago.
It was amazing to see this debate. CNN deliberately – out of their blatant bias – engineered their shot at the Republican debate to force Republicans to attack each other. Every single question they asked in the Republican debate was, “Why don’t you think your opponent should be the next president?”
Many of the questions were framed in a way designed to encourage candidates to criticize other candidates’ positions on issues (or nonissues) rather than addressing issues themselves. (Others disagree with you. What do you think?! was the general thrust of the questioning.) “Mr Trump has repeatedly said that the $100 million you’ve raised for your campaign makes you a puppet for your donors. Are you?” Tapper asked Jeb Bush early on in the debate. There is no possible world in which that question could ever elicit an interesting or valuable answer.
But did CNN follow their own, let’s make the candidates eat each other and enjoy the Republican-on-Republican violence we ginned up? Nope.
[…] Moderator and CNN host Anderson Cooper said in a Sunday interview, “Going into the Republican debates, you pretty much knew there were a number of candidates who were willing to [attack each other].” He added, “That’s not the case, so far as we’ve seen, on the Democratic side.”
“I’m always uncomfortable with that notion of setting people up in order to kind of promote some sort of a face off,” Cooper continued, contradicting the entire format of the Republican debate CNN hosted.
CNN’s Jake Tapper seemed very comfortable getting the GOP candidates to face off against each other.
“Look, these are all serious people,” explained Cooper. “This is a serious debate. They want to talk about the issues and I want to give them an opportunity to do that.”
This is a rabidly biased “journalist” from a rabidly biased “news network.” He’s telling us that Republicans have zero-point-zero interests in talking about issues, that really all they wanted to do was personally attack each other, and for some reason he had no problem being “uncomfortable” when he did to Republicans what he said he absolutely was NOT going to do to the Democrats. Because, after all, according to Anderson Cooper, Democrat candidates “are all serious people.” Whereas the governors and senators and incredibly successful field of Republicans are all clowns by simple definition of liberal demagogic ideology.
So what I’m telling you is that from the very outset, this debate was a JOKE.
And the result was it was boring and changed NOTHING. Hillary Clinton got sheltered when she should have been shellacked. And that was the plan. I suppose that’s what “no fireworks” meant; the purpose of this debate from the ideological plotters and schemers was to reinforce whatever preconceived script they wanted to.
So there weren’t any seriously tough questions asked of the Democrats that they didn’t want to answer the way Republicans are asked tough questions that they don’t want to answer. There also aren’t anywhere near as many debates for fascist Democrats who at this time in their wretched, degenerate existence despise free speech as there are for Republicans.
The debates were rigged from the outset to benefit the presumed queen empress of the space-time universe.
“Four debates. Four debates. Four debates, and only four debates. We are told—not asked—before voters in our earliest states make their decision,” 2016 Democratic presidential candidate and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said on Friday. “This sort of rigged process has never been attempted before.” […]
O’Malley says the DNC is only doing this to protect Clinton, and O’Malley isn’t alone in this theory. Sen. Bernie Sanders is unhappy as well.
“I believe at a time when so many people have given up on the political process, when 80 percent of people did not vote in the last election, 63 percent of the people did not vote, I believe that debates are a good thing,” Sanders said.
Democrats are by nature fascists and didn’t want to allow too many debates which would have allowed a challenger to rise and begin to threaten the selection by the Stalinist DNC – which is led by a fascist woman who implicitly acknowledged that there is ZERO difference between a “Democrat” and a “socialist” today.
“What is the difference,” between the platform of the Democratic Party and socialism Meet The Press host Chuck Todd asks Debbie Wasserman Schultz, leader of the Democrats. “Can you explain the difference?”
Nobody had to answer much during the staged Democrat debate on CNN. That’s for sure.
As an example, I don’t recall very many questions about Bernie Sanders’ rape fantasy article that is just beyond creepy. The left and their media lackeys couldn’t care less; that kind of awfulness very clearly only matters if the candidate is a Republican. I mean, I’m sorry; Joy Behar of the ABC program The View gushed that Bernie Sanders is sexy; but aside from the fact that socialists are pathologically creepily in love with their masters (whether it was Hitler or Stalin or Mao or Bill Clinton or Obama or Sanders), it’s rather obvious that to put it in Sanders’ words, “she fantasizes being raped by three men simultaneously.’’
The CNN debate had the premise, “Let’s not all reveal what pieces of garbage all we liberals are.”
There were no questions about the sixty million abortions every single Democrat will one day scream in hell for. No questions about the fact that to be a Democrat today means to be a sodomy-worshiping pervert who sticks his or her middle finger up at the God of the Bible and shrieks, “F*ck YOU! Bring your wrath that you tell us about in Romans chapter one ON, God! Give us raging floods and storms in one place and burning drought in another according to Amos 4:7. We’ll just blame Your wrath on Republicans!”
I wish there were some religious questions, such as, “How do you respond to Jesus’ narrow, exclusivist statement of John 14:6, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.” I’d like to hear the candidates deal with the question, “Why has the Democrat Party so rabidly turned against Jesus Christ and the moral teachings of the Bible?” But no.
There was one question that exposed the complete cowardice of the Democrat Party today. Anderson Cooper asked each candidate to respond to the question, “Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter?” And there was only ONE candidate on the stage – and no Democrat will vote for him because to be a Democrat is to be a toxically depraved human being – who answered that all lives matter. That’s because to be a Democrat is to be an abject SLAVE to your party’s special interest, to your party’s rabid leftist base.
And so a good follow-up question would have been, “Why don’t you believe that white lives matter in America today? Just why is it that you were such a damn, miserable COWARD to answer that last question the way you did, you despicable political weasels?” But no.
No questions about how encouraging entire generations of Democrats to be welfare parasites for the incredibly cynical purpose of trying to force them to vote Democrat for life is “doing what you can for your country” rather than “not asking what your country can do for you.”
But that would be about actual reality. And to be a Democrat is to be a snarling hater of reality.
So no real questions about how all the Democrats on the platform seem to be channeling the uber-leftist message that more Obamaesque policies will somehow lead to “social justice” and end income inequality when Obama’s damn policies have done more to make actual income inequality worse than any and all presidents before him.
And Democrats hate reality more than they love life.
So Democrats can explode a problem into a crisis and then exploit the crisis they create to slander and lie and demonize everybody but themselves. Nobody has a job because they have regulated jobs out of existence. But now they can exploit the fact that they destroyed all the jobs to blame those greedy, rich people should go bankrupt being forced to pay wages and benefits they can’t possibly afford to pay while they’re being forced to spend exorbitantly to conform to regulations they can’t possibly conform to.
And stupid people who despise reality believe their lies.
No significant questions about Hillary Clinton’s private server or the pathologically fascist, paranoid and secretive shrew she had to have been and continues to remain in order to install one in the first place. I would have loved to see Anderson Cooper treat the Democrat candidates like Republicans with questions such as, “Would you have installed a private email server and obliterated all legitimate transparency and accountability by purging your communications AFTER they had been lawfully subpoenaed? Would YOU have risked national security by throwing out over 400 top-secret emails without adequate protections the way Hillary Clinton did? Would you endorse right now every single Republican politician and appointee being able to install private servers in their homes to avoid accountability the way Hillary Clinton was able to do? Do you believe there ought to be such a thing as transparency and accountability as Hillary Clinton very clearly does not? Do you agree with Hillary Clinton that there ought to be one standard for her and a vastly different one for everyone else? Or do you agree with Hillary Clinton as when Americans are being murdered under her watch, “What difference does it make?”
But no. That would be dealing with reality. And you’re not allowed to be a Democrat unless you have fang-dripping hatred for reality.
Bernie Sanders suggests that he was not being political when he said that his rival’s emails ought to be off-limits in the debate. That has nothing to do with Bernie Sanders being decent or courageous; it’s because he recognizes that Democrats frankly are miserable, wicked, depraved moral scum who don’t CARE that Hillary Clinton is a criminal who broke the law and horrifyingly violated our national security and belongs in prison. He said what he said because he knew that the same damn perverted cowards who would have booed him if he’d had the courage and the decency to say that all lives matter would also have booed him if he pointed out Hillary Clinton’s crimes.
Because to a Democrat, abject, despicable moral COWARDICE masquerades for courage. Which is why Democrats stupidly believe that Barack Obama is actually brave to be the modern equivalent of Neville Chamberlain who freed Hitler to unleash hell by his abject failure to stand up and have any kind of a backbone when the world desperately needed one in the days leading up to World War II.
No questions about our national debt and how it has exploded under Barack Obama and what Democrat presidents would do to reduce it rather than explode it even more. No question of how Barack Obama wasn’t the worst hypocrite in the history of the entire universe when he demonized George Bush with these words on July 3, 2008 because George Bush had disgustingly added $4 trillion to the national debt:
Obama: “The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.”
No questions about the fact that Barack Obama has now more than doubled Bush’s debt after hypocritically demonizing him for it and no questions about the fact that by the time Obama leaves office, he will personally have added more to the debt than every single U.S. president from George Washington to George W. Bush COMBINED.
Because to be a Democrat is to be so viciously hateful toward reality it is beyond unreal.
But wouldn’t that have been a good question: “How in the hell are you going to do all this leftist socialist crap and not bankrupt America? Or are you going to be the same sort of rabid, demon-possessed LIAR the last Democrat president was and vomit out an ocean of lies?
No significant questions about the rise and spread of the threat of Islamic State or the caliphate Barack Obama’s foolish and depraved policies allowed them to carve out of a country where Obama once took credit for securing and a country where Obama once issued an infamous “red line” that he subsequently allowed his enemies to walk all over.
Because if you’re a Democrat you truly don’t give one flying DAMN about the actual state of the world. You are a demon-possessed fool who lives in a web of lies spun by worse fools who are even more demon-possessed.
Hey, I’ve got an idea: let’s just pretend that if we’re really, really nice to them and disarm our military capacity and bare our throats to their knives, they’ll see we’re no threat to them and leave us alone. Because I’m a Democrat and I’ve never actually so much as touched actual reality in my entire useless life.
Listening to the Democrats on the stage, you got a vivid picture of why everything has melted down in the world: George W. Bush. Seven years after he left office, he is STILL the ONLY actual leader who is to be held responsible for ANYTHING in America. On their presentation, the world was idyllic and wonderful before Bush came along. We were at peace and harmony with all living things. And then the devil Bush came along and plunged America into war. And even is spite of the fact that Barack Hussein Obama is the true Messiah, come to save us from not having a nanny-state government that will wipe our filthy bottoms for us, he has not been able to overcome the wicked work of the devil Bush.
“One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.”
–President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
–President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
“Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.”
–Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.”
–Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
“[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.”
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
— Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998
“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
“Hussein has … chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.”
— Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
“There is no doubt that … Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.”
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
— Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001
“We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them.”
— Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”
— Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
“Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.”
— Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons…”
— Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.”
— Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years … We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
“He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do”
— Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002
“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members … It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
— Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002
“Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime … He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation … And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction … So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real…”
— Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
I was one who supported giving President Bush the authority, if necessary, to use force against Saddam Hussein. I believe that that was the right vote. — Sen. Hillary Clinton
There’s the fact that eight months after you perjured your way out of office with your sperm on Monica Lewinsky’s dress, ALL of the nineteen terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/2001 were already in America. They ALL had their marching orders, following a plan and tactics that had been formulated during YOUR presidency.
“Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower. So, when they left Afghanistan, they went to Somalia and prepared themselves carefully for a long war. They had thought that the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared. They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the American soldier. America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. … As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger. He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his army, so he fled, and America had to stop all its bragging and all that noise it was making in the press…” — Osama bin Laden
Author James Risen won the Pulitzer Prize on Tuesday for his much ballyhooed New York Times report last December that revealed President Bush’s previously secret terrorist surveillance program – a revelation he uncovered while researching his book “State of War.”
In the same book, however, Risen makes an equally explosive claim about President Clinton’s relationship with the CIA – which his editors at the Times have so far declined to cover.
Upon taking power in 1993, Risen reports, the Clinton administration “began slashing the intelligence budget in search of a peace dividend, and Bill Clinton showed almost no interest in intelligence matters.” The agency cutbacks combined with presidential disinterest took their toll almost immediately.
“Over a three-or-four-year period in the early-to-mid 1990s,” reports Risen, “virtually an entire generation of CIA officers – the people who had won the Cold War – quit or retired. One CIA veteran compared the agency to an airline that had lost all of is senior pilots . . . “
After Clinton CIA Director John Deutch cashiered several senior officers over a scandal in Guatamala, the situation got even worse.
“Morale [at the CIA] plunged to new lows, and the agency became paralyzed by an aversion to high-risk espionage operations for fear they would lead to political flaps. Less willing to take big risks, the CIA was less able to recruit spies in dangerous places such as Iraq.”
So that was the world before George W. Bush attacked Iraq. And Democrats are truly demon-possessed to demonize him the way they do.
But let’s now cut to after the war. Let’s point out for the damn factual record the REALITY that George W. Bush left office as a VICTOR in that war in Iraq.
“I am very optimistic about Iraq. I think it’s gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re gonna see 90,000 American troops come marchin’ home by the end of the summer. You’re gonna see a stable government in Iraq that is actually movin’ toward a representative government. I’ve been there 17 times now. I go about every two months, three months. I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society. It’s impressed me. I’ve been impressed, how they have been deciding to use the political process, rather than guns, to settle their differences.” — Vice President Joe Biden
“Today, I can announce that our review is complete, and that the United States will pursue a new strategy to end the war in Iraq through a transition to full Iraqi responsibility,” said Obama. “This strategy is grounded in a clear and achievable goal shared by the Iraqi people and the American people: an Iraq that is sovereign, stable, and self-reliant. To achieve that goal, we will work to promote an Iraqi government that is just, representative, and accountable, and that provides neither support nor safe-haven to terrorists.” — President Barack Obama, February 27, 2009
By the end of 2008, in the beginning of 2009, President Bush’s surge strategy led by General Petraeus and General Odierno, now the chief of staff of the Army, defeated the al Qaeda in Iraq. I saw the transmission because I was advising Petraeus on the ground in Iraq. They showed me the transmissions from al Qaeda that they were intercepting. They said we are defeated, don’t send any more foreign fighters. — General Jack Keane
There is ZERO question that the war in Iraq – a war Democrats supported before treasonously turning against it because the Democrat Party is the PARTY of treason- was WON by the time Obama metastasized his way into the presidency.
Let’s go back to 2009 and see what Barack Obama did treasonously undermined EVERYTHING our generals and military commanders deeply believed we needed to do:
WASHINGTON, Feb 2 2009 (IPS) – CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus, supported by Defence Secretary Robert Gates, tried to convince President Barack Obama that he had to back down from his campaign pledge to withdraw all U.S. combat troops from Iraq within 16 months at an Oval Office meeting Jan. 21.
But Obama informed Gates, Petraeus and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen that he wasn’t convinced and that he wanted Gates and the military leaders to come back quickly with a detailed 16-month plan, according to two sources who have talked with participants in the meeting.
Obama’s decision to override Petraeus’s recommendation has not ended the conflict between the president and senior military officers over troop withdrawal, however. There are indications that Petraeus and his allies in the military and the Pentagon, including Gen. Ray Odierno, now the top commander in Iraq, have already begun to try to pressure Obama to change his withdrawal policy.
A network of senior military officers is also reported to be preparing to support Petraeus and Odierno by mobilising public opinion against Obama’s decision.
Petraeus was visibly unhappy when he left the Oval Office, according to one of the sources. A White House staffer present at the meeting was quoted by the source as saying, “Petraeus made the mistake of thinking he was still dealing with George Bush instead of with Barack Obama.”
Petraeus, Gates and Odierno had hoped to sell Obama on a plan that they formulated in the final months of the Bush administration that aimed at getting around a key provision of the U.S.-Iraqi withdrawal agreement signed envisioned re-categorising large numbers of combat troops as support troops. That subterfuge was by the United States last November while ostensibly allowing Obama to deliver on his campaign promise.
Barack Obama didn’t have to leave Iraq. HE WANTED TO IN SPITE OF ANY AND ALL WISDOM WHATSOEVER.
And a bloodbath has happened as a direct result of a pathologically wicked Democrat president of a pathologically wicked Democrat Party.
“I know some in Washington would like us to start leaving Iraq now. To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for Iraq, for the region and for the United States. It would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to al Qaeda. It would mean that we’d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. It would mean we’d allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan. It would mean increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous.” — President George W. Bush
Bush was right. Reality is a witness. And Democrats need to be hunted down with dogs and burned alive if we are to have any chance of survival as a nation.
You listen to the morally diseased Democrat cockroaches who were spreading their filth on that stage last night and it was George W. Bush who somehow created the absolute meltdown in Syria.
First of all, it wasn’t George W. Bush who created the instability in Syria. It was Barack Obama’s evil Federal Reserve policies that essentially created food riots. Because the United States is – but won’t be for much longer, thanks to Obama’s fiscal insanity – the world’s Reserve Currency, all commodities such as oil are bought and sold in U.S. dollars. And Obama’s fiscal policies ended up poisoning the currencies in poorer Middle Eastern countries as food prices skyrocketed relative to purchasing power. Which the leftist mainstream media due to their own failure to comprehend reality had the moral idiocy to call “the Arab Spring” like it was somehow a good thing. They were riots because people were starving because Barack Obama has failed the entire planet so abysmally.
Then there was Obama’s “red line” fiasco after the food riots dissolved Syria into brutal civil war that has now claimed about a quarter of a million lives while Obama dithered. It was such a fiasco that Obama being the pathological liar and coward that he is claimed he didn’t say it. Without any question to any rational mind capable of waking up and smelling the real world emboldened our worst enemies.
Conservative columnist Marc Thiessen more than a year and a half ago prophetically wrote an article with this title:
That article – written not yesterday but more than a year and a half ago – ends with these words:
Today, America is projecting weakness. Obama’s failure to enforce his red line in Syria projected weakness. His constant talk of withdrawal and ending wars so we can focus on “nation-building here at home” projects weakness. His decision to gut the U.S. defense budget and reduce the Army to pre-World War II levels projects weakness.
When your adversaries believe you are weak, they are emboldened to act — and prone to miscalculate. Putin believes there will be no real costs for his intervention in Ukraine because there were no costs in Syria. He knows the Obama Doctrine is to do just enough “not to get mocked.” If he is proved right, it will have consequences far beyond the Crimean Peninsula. A failure to impose costs on Russia will further embolden adversaries from Beijng to Pyongyang to Tehran — all of whom are measuring Obama’s resolve in Ukraine, just as Putin measured Obama’s resolve in Syria and found it lacking.
You tell me how Thiessen wasn’t right now that Putin just swarmed into Syria, ordered the United States it had better stay the hell clear from them unless Obama wanted to get punched right in the mouth, and proceeded to start killing all of the few remaining U.S. allies in the region that we had left. As Russia just snarled, “The Middle East is OURS now, America. Get out, you pathetic little weasel coward Obama turds!” And that is exactly what we’ve done. Just as we’ve gotten out of the largest trading route in the world as China built an island and then militarized that island in the South China Sea while Obama did NOTHING because he has no credible threat whatsoever.
And we did it because Russia with Putin has demonstrated that he has the spine to fight and Barack Obama has demonstrated to the world that he is a pathetic coward who will NOT risk losing the support of his rabid leftist base that yearns for America to suffer terrible defeat so they can exploit the next crisis. Nobody believes that weak little coward pussy will do anything no matter how much our worse enemies humiliate us or walk all over us.
And Democrats have the Lucifer in them to say that was Bush’s fault.
Everything about this debate was nothing but a sick joke.
But there is no possibility of any kind of actual “debate” when you have liars debating liars about whose lies sell to the membership of the most stupid and most depraved and most demonic party in the history of the world.
This has got to be the most cynical, two-faced, dishonest, cowardly LYING HYPOCRITE in the entire history of the world. He’s telling us he was always skeptical from the getgo about training and using rebels to fight Islamic State:
“I’ve been skeptical from the get-go about the notion that we were going to effectively create this proxy army inside of Syria,” Obama said in the interview. “My goal has been to try to test the proposition, can we be able to train and equip a moderate opposition that’s willing to fight ISIL?”
SERIOUSLY, YOU PATHOLOGICALLY DISHONEST LYING TURD?
THAT WAS OBAMA’S STRATEGY. THAT WAS HIS ONLY STRATEGY.
In Obama’s State of the Union speech in January 2014, Obama boasted:
“We’re also supporting a moderate opposition in Syria that can help us in this effort, and assisting people everywhere who stand up to the bankrupt ideology of violent extremism. This effort will take time. It will require focus. But we will succeed.”
We go back to September of last year and Obama was still strongly arguing to train rebel fighters in Syria who would fight our war that he didn’t have the courage to fight for us.
Congress may have to vote on President Obama’s ISIS strategy after all – or at least a part of it.
The president told congressional leaders in a meeting on Tuesday that, according to the White House, “he has the authority he needs” to take on the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. That means he won’t a seek a formal authorization of force from Congress when he addresses the nation on his strategy to defeat ISIS on Wednesday night.
But Obama is now personally lobbying lawmakers to include language in a government funding bill that would allow the military to train and equip Syrian rebels who are fighting ISIS.
A senior administration official confirmed to The Wire on Wednesday that the president was calling members of Congress to secure their support and had dispatched his chief counter-terrorism adviser, Lisa Monaco, to Capitol Hill to brief them in person.
“Over the past few months, world events remind us some things are bigger than politics,” Mr. Obama said. “America is leading the fight to contain Ebola… leading the effort to contain and destroy ISIL.”
Mr. Obama has said repeatedly he does not want to deploy combat troops to fight ISIS, and on Friday, White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice clarified that this principle applies to the administration’s new authorities to assist the Syrian rebels.
“To be clear, as we’ve said repeatedly, our strategy does not involve U.S. troops on the ground in a combat role in either Iraq or Syria, and no U.S. troops will be in Syria as part of the train-and- equip program,” she told reporters. “This program will be hosted outside of Syria in partnership with neighboring countries.”
At the time in his January 2014 State of the Union speech that Obama told us how he was going to win the hellhole that he had allowed to happen in Syria by training and equipping a Syrian resistance, U.S. News and World Report gave Obama a ‘C’ grade for that policy. Wonder what that grade is now given this epic embarrassing disastrous fail:
Four or five fighters. That’s our result for a damn $500 MILLION program that WAS Obama’s strategy for Syria.
I recently pointed out what an abject joke and a total disgrace Obama and his foreign policy in Syria (and everywhere ELSE) truly is:
You want to see what Obama has done to “win” the war in Syria? Some headlines:
A little more than a year ago, President Obama asked Congress for $500 million to train and equip some 15,000 opposition fighters in Syria, arguing that the best way to defeat Islamic State terrorists was to arm local forces.
The war against Islamic State “will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil,” Obama promised. “Instead, we must strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists.”
Last week, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter gave Congress a progress report. The training program is up and running, he said, and almost 7,000 Syrians have applied to join — but the total number of fighters trained comes to exactly 60.
Sixty? UCLA has more men on its football roster. That’s “not an impressive number,” Carter acknowledged.
Skeptics instantly did the arithmetic: If that’s all we get for $500 million, it comes to almost $9 million per fighter — and the trainees haven’t even made it onto the battlefield yet.
But if you think THAT’S pathetic, it actually was even WORSE. ‘Cause, I mean, don’t knock sixty fighters. Sixty actual fighters would be an impressive achievement for an idiotic, disgraceful pile of human waste like Barack Hussein Obama. So when the actual facts came out…
Only four or five U.S.-trained Syrian rebels are still fighting in Syria, a top U.S. general told Congress on Wednesday, a stark admission of setbacks to a fledgling military program that critics have already pronounced a failure.
The U.S. military began training in May for up to 5,400 fighters a year, in what was seen as a test of President Barack Obama’s strategy of having local partners combat Islamic State militants and keep U.S. troops off the front lines.
But the program was troubled from the start, with some of the first class of less than 60 fighters coming under attack from al Qaeda’s Syria wing, Nusra Front, in their battlefield debut. Some were captured and killed while others scattered.
This is kind of like Obama’s inane oft-repeated boast that he has a coalition of sixty nations. Because he has a coalition of sixty nations the way he had 15,000 opposition fighters. Or even SIXTY fighters, for that matter. Obama’s “coalition” is as much of a sick joke as his shambles of a foreign policy is.
Which puts Obama’s airstrikes and his worthless sixty nation coalition that have done NOTHING into the laugh-riot of his 4 or 5 fighters. Who are undoubtedly dead now that Putin is bombing them.
Now we’ve got Obama on the record telling us that he never really believed what he told us on the record nearly two years ago. Obama did it. Obama urged the Congress to back his doing it. Obama said, “It will require focus. But we WILL succeed” if we did it. But now the lying, weasel, hypocrite piece of fecal matter is demonically telling his demon-possessed supporters that all those truthful facts that Fox News will report are all lies.
The failed $500 million program to set up a proxy army in Syria was a test, US President Barack Obama told ’60 Minutes’, adding that he had doubts about the project from the start. He also ruled out sending US troops to Syria.
“I’ve been skeptical from the get-go about the notion that we were going to effectively create this proxy army inside of Syria,” Obama said in the interview. “My goal has been to try to test the proposition, can we be able to train and equip a moderate opposition that’s willing to fight ISIL?”
Broadcast Sunday night, Obama’s interview with CBS correspondent Steve Kroft was recorded last Tuesday, days before the administration announced it would stop attempting to train a force of ‘moderate’ militants in Syria.
After spending hundreds of millions of dollars, Washington had only “four or five” fighters to show for the effort. Most of the equipment ended up in jihadist hands as US-trained rebels were captured or deserted without ever facing Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS or ISIL) in battle.
WASHINGTON — By any measure, President Obama’s effort to train a Syrian opposition army to fight the Islamic State on the ground has been an abysmal failure. The military acknowledged this week that just four or five American-trained fighters are actually fighting.
But the White House says it is not to blame. The finger, it says, should be pointed not at Mr. Obama but at those who pressed him to attempt training Syrian rebels in the first place — a group that, in addition to congressional Republicans, happened to include former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
I wrote prophetically back in September of 2014 when I described Obama’s strategy and guaranteed the universe it would fail. Listen to what my title was:
Iran, in a vicious double-slap humiliation of our Coward-in-Chief, just fired ballistic missiles to show the world how they will deliver the nuclear weapons Obama assured them they will soon have and convicted a US journalist the same day. And they’re doing this before Obama even gives them the $150 billion that they’re going to use to fund terrorism against the United States, her interests and her allies.
This man is an ontological, pathological coward and weakling. He is a national embarrassment and a disgrace to every single person who ever pledged allegiance to the United States and actually MEANT it.
I keep saying it: every single Democrat who voted for baby-murderer and sodomy-pervert worshiper Barack Hussein Obama will soon be screaming in hell for all eternity. A trillion trillion years from now you will be screaming the same, visceral, agonized scream of horrifying suffering. When you voted for Obama you voted for hell. And you are going to GET the hell you voted for. You voted for the wrath of God according to Psalm 139 and according to Romans chapter one. You voted to give Iran nuclear weapons. You voted to invite Russia and Iran into Syria to assure the world of the Gog-Magog war described in Ezekiel 38-39. And you’re going to get all of the hell you voted for. And eternity itself won’t be long enough for you to suffer for what you did in inflicting this national sin on us that will culminate in the coming of the Antichrist and the mark of the beast.
Question from reporter: “But Dr. Carson, if a gunman walks up and puts a gun at you and says, ‘What religion are you?’ That is the ultimate test of your faith.”
Dr. Cason: “I’m glad you asked that question, because, not only would I probably not cooperate with him, I would not just stand there and let him shoot me. I would say, ‘Hey, guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot me, but he can’t get us all.'”
I want you to notice that I took these words from the video in which Huffington Post says in bold typeface, “Skip to 0:25 in the video above to hear Carson describe what he would have done if he’d been present at the shooting.” In other words, skip PAST the part where the reporter asks, “What would you do?” And Dr. Carson responds with what he would do.
It’s frankly amazing on one level. I mean, what in the hell is controversial about that? The argument to this side is literally, I WILL stand there and let him shoot me.” And of course, “I will stand there and let him shoot me until my Savior and Lord, the State, kicks down every single door in America and goes over every square inch of land with metal detectors and confiscates until it can account for every single one of the more than 300 million guns in this country. And PISS on the Constitution in the process.
Let me tell you why what Ben Carson said is such a horrifying sin in the religion of liberalism: because liberalism is a religion of radical submission and radical helplessness. You are to be helpless and submissive in your role as a member of “the State.” And liberalism is a MISSIONARY religion in that every liberal must force the rest of us to be as helpless and as submissive in the face of “the State” as they seek to be.
If you so much as BELIEVE or FEEL that you ought to have a right to protect or defend yourself, you are a blasphemer and a heretic.
Somebody got this point in their title parodying the leftist piece of truly lousy toilet paper known as GQ: “F*CK Ben Carson For Preaching Self-Defense.” Because we’re getting to the very core essence of what truly separates a liberal from a conservative.
The Bible frequently uses the metaphor of “sheep” to describe believers before their God. And yes, apart from the wisdom of God, which we should therefore seek, humans are described as helpless and stupid, like sheep.
If you are a liberal, don’t sneeringly tell me you don’t have a religious faith. Because YES YOU DO. Liberalism is a religion following secular humanism that replaces “God” with “Government,” with human government. And the priests of this religion are bureaucrats, and to them the words of Isaiah 53 – “all we like sheep have gone astray” – ring like music. We are poor, stupid, helpless sheep under liberalism. And Government is our God, our Savior, to whom we ought to helplessly submit.
And when it comes to weapons, the biblical metaphor couldn’t be more apt in describing what liberals’ want: the SHEEP don’t get to carry weapons. They are far too stupid and they would clearly only hurt themselves or one another. No, only the shepherd, only the bureaucrat’s designated force-bearer, can carry weapons.
Probably the most famous passage in the Bible, Psalm 23, the Shepherd’s Psalm, sums it up: “Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.” God is the One who carries the rod and the staff, not the sheep. And liberalism is a rabid religion that keeps shrieking, “There is no God but Government, and Obama is His Prophet!”
AND THEY MUST STRIP YOU OF YOUR GUNS AND LEAVE YOU UTTERLY HELPLESS, BECAUSE YOU ARE A SHEEP AND IT IS BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE ONE TRUE GOD THE STATE TO THINK ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOURSELF.
You have the right to religious freedom if and ONLY If you are a liberal. But every other religion is blasphemy before liberalism and its One True God, the human State. And every other religion must ultimately be forced to SUBMIT and be HELPLESS. Like a good sheep.
This doesn’t just apply to guns; it is all encompassing. Allow me to give you another example of God vs. Government and the side liberalism takes:
The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the LORD Almighty. — Haggai 2:8
WHO does all the wealth belong to? Well, I think we all understand those words very easily: the LORD Almighty. GOVERNMENT. OBAMA.
Liberals are the faithful demanding that all wealth go to the One True God, the State. It’s not that liberals disagree with the Bible as much as they disagree on who “God” is.
I’ve written about this stuff before, of course. I wrote about 1 Samuel 8:10-22 and how a wicked people refused God as their king and wanted giant, powerful human government instead. I wrote about Daniel 2:31-35 and how Democrats have picked the absolutely WRONG side of history to be on as they side with the human government that will utterly perish before the coming Christ who as the Rock will destroy it.
These people worship human Government in place of God, and human government will ultimately burn in hell right along with them.
Sheep are helpless. Just as liberals want those whom they dole out welfare to for literally generation after generation after generation to be helpless sheep who cannot take care of themselves. And all you have to do to guarantee that you will be poor for life, that your children will be poor for all of their lives, that their children will be trapped in poverty all of their lives, and so on, ad nauseam, is to vote Democrat. Because they seek to trap you in a vicious cycle that you will never get out of and you will therefore always need to keep voting for them to keep you in.
Liberals take money from one group and dole it out to keep another group dependent and helpless. Like sheep.
Liberalism is the confiscation of wealth and the offering of that wealth to the One True God, the State. And the priests of this religion, the bureaucrats, distribute it according to their theology.
There’s more, of course: who says what life is and who gets to live? God, of course, and ONLY God:
13You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. 15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. 16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. — Psalm 139:13-16
And who gets to decide these weighty questions of what is life, what is sacred, who gets to live and who should die? God, of course. The State. The Black-Robed High Priests of Liberalism.
Which is why the doctrine of abortion and the support for that doctrine is tantamount to an act of religious devotion. It is an act of religious faith, for I the LORD your God gave you Roe v. Wade. And let all other gods be forced to bow down before Me, and let all who oppose my rule be torn limb-from-limb or burned with acid in the very womb in which I, Obama, formed him.
What is marriage? Who decides? Only God, of course. That’s obvious. We all agree with that. Jesus, the divine Messiah of the God of the Bible, summed up God’s way according to Genesis 2:22-24 when He described biblical marriage:
“Haven’t you read,” [Jesus] replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” — Matthew 19:4-6
Well, liberals rabidly and utterly reject that God. They have their own God, the State. And so we now have Obama, the divine Messiah of the God of the State, providing a radically different view of “marriage.”
Atheists can play their rhetorical word games and say, “If atheism is a religion, then off is a TV channel.” Here’s the problem with it: the very word “atheism” means, “no god.” Let’s acknowledge and then move beyond the problem with atheism as expressed by G.K. Chesterton: “When a man stops believing in God he doesn’t then believe in nothing, he believes anything.” Which corresponds with the admonition in Colossians 2:8 which says, “Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.” I am making a different point here that strictly relates to the TV channel analogy; namely that atheism is espoused as a belief in the denial of something, but the very thing they are denying is such a quintessential part of who they are that the very word “theist” is the most prominent part of their own self-description. To wit: in the analogy that the atheist provides, “GOD is the TV. Religions are the channels. If it is off, maybe he’s dead or disengaged, but at least you admit there’s a TV.” . Just for the record, I can cite you MILLION of Christians who can easily use the same “logic” to rationalize that Christianity is NOT a religion. I googled the phrase, Christianity is not a religion, and got 86,000,000 hits. Their point is that “Religion is man’s way to reach God. Christianity is God’s way to reach man.” That many atheists don’t consider themselves “religious” is no more an accurate part of their perspective than that many Christians don’t consider themselves “religious.” The simple fact boils down to this: whether you are talking about atheism not being a religion, or Christianity not being a religion, the only way the proponents of either view are correct is if their belief (i.e., atheism or Christianity) is correct. If there is in fact a God, atheism is merely one of many false religious systems. And belief in God is NOT an essential part of a religious system, for the record, given that many Buddhists are actually atheists. Finally, the author of this actually quite-good article I cite above points out that the rabidness of the atheist and the tendency of the atheist to hate theists is every bit as fervent as it is the other way around. She points out, “Let me tell you: The angriest ones can be as malicious as a coven of Westboro Baptists at a veteran’s funeral.” In case anybody actually has the foolishness to doubt that, let me just point out that the very shooting that Ben Carson is the target of so much hate for describing how he would react was an ATHEIST who TARGETED CHRISTIANS.
I say this because of the incredibly dishonest, deceitful, disingenuous way that liberals and their counterparts who dominate the mainstream media constantly frame any and basically all religious debate in America. Religious people are constantly told that we have no right to impose our religion on others. From the very same people who even as they are saying that are exploiting it as an incredibly cynical device to impose their damn religion on me. As an example, an atheist decided to get offended over students being allowed to pray and rabidly determined to impose HIS religion of refusing to pray on every student whose religion encouraged them to pray. Every single court or every single bureaucracy that seeks to remove prayer from school is NOT removing religion; they are DICTATING which religion that students will be forced to practice, namely the religion of atheism/secular humanism.
My point is that liberals ARE worshipers. They are RABID worshipers. They merely choose to worship a very different God from the God of Christianity. And to the extent that they don’t worship the State, they worship themselves and their religion is about selfishly and self-centeredly obtaining their lusts and their desires through the power of the State and forcing others to provide these things for them.
I am beyond sick of liberals imposing their religion on me while they smarmily tell me that I don’t have a right to impose my religion on them. I’m sick of liberals perverting the Word of God and constantly seeking to turn me a sheep, as the Bible says I am, but a sheep of their God the State. I’m sick and tired of liberals telling me that I should be helpless, and that as a stupid, helpless sheep the only thing I’d do if I were allowed to have a weapon is hurt myself or some other innocent. So only the Shepherd of the religion of the State ought to be allowed to have weapons. I’m sick and tired of being told that I don’t have a right to impose my view of marriage on people as the people who tell me that impose their view of marriage on me with in-your-face-hypocrisy. I’m sick of liberals telling me that I’m crazy to believe that human life begins in the womb when they can’t produce a single example of a single human who didn’t begin in the womb. If their mothers had aborted those liberals, those liberals would have been killed. A child in the womb is human by virtue of the taxonomy of her parents, she is a being by virtue of the fact that she is a living thing: she is a HUMAN BEING. Let’s go through the taxonomic system that classifies every single living thing with our unborn baby: That “fetus” (which is Latin for “unborn child” by the way) is classified from the moment of conception as Kingdom-Animal; Phylum-chordata; Class-Mammalia; Order-Primate; Family-Hominid; Genus-Homo; and Species-Sapiens. Just like every human being whose life is precious unless you are describing human value in the hateful religious system of liberalism. These things are simply facts, but the religion of liberalism doesn’t give a damn about facts; it is a rabid religious faith. It is in fact a totalitarian religious faith that is missionary in its determined intent to impose itself on heretic unbelievers in Government.
We’re watching the Middle East and the world melt down due to President Barack Obama’s morally idiotic foreign policy. Right now we’ve got five million refugees fleeing Obama’s collapse, and millions more are going to come behind them. And where the hell are they going to go? And we’re ultimately going to see why Obama’s epic fail in the Middle East will result in America’s epic fail. We’re watching the complete vacuum of any kind of moral or military leadership being filled not by the United States but by Russia and now Iran. But there’s something in the strategy of the only man who actually HAS a strategy – Vladimir Putin – that I want to close this piece on the religion of liberalism with. Marco Rubio – the man WHO PREDICTED the invasion of Syria by Russia which so stunned and caught Obama off guard – NAILED Putin’s strategy:
“Vladimir Putin is deliberately targeting the non-ISIS rebels,” Rubio explains. “And here’s why: If he’s going to wipe out all the non-ISIS elements on the ground in Syria, then they can say: ISIS or Assad, there are no other options. We killed all the non-ISIS people.”
“And at that point, he’ll be able to force the world to support Assad, and that is what he is doing.”
Vladimir Putin is crushing all the non-Islamic State rebels, leaving only Assad’s regime and Islamic State. And his plan is then to force America to support Assad’s regime as the only viable alternative.
By commission and by omission, Barack Obama is the world’s leading persecutor of Christians in the history of the world in terms of the sheer, mass numbers of Christians whom have suffered under him and as a result of his colossal failure.
Obama has said he is a Christian. He also said that “as a Christian” he was opposed to gay marriage. The latter statement turned out to be an outright lie, and the first one about Obama being a Christian is a lie as well. I have pointed out and documented how Obama’s theology has NOTHING whatsoever to do with biblical Christianity. He can go into a church and call himself a “Christian.” Just like I can lay down in my garage and call myself a “car.” But both statements are equally false.
You shall have no other gods before me, says liberalism. And every Christian who says or believes otherwise shall be devoted to destruction. Because liberalism is a rabid, religious faith. And all we like sheep have gone astray and need to be brought under the Stalinist boot heel for our own good and for the good, for the praise and for the glory, of the State.
There is simply so much to contemplate in these words from the Apostle and leader of Jesus’ Disciples, St. Peter, that I urge everyone to consider:
For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes when he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice from the majestic glory of God said to him, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.” We ourselves heard that voice from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts. Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God. — 2 Peter 1:16-21
What grabs me about this passage (which I have memorized because it is so powerful to me) is the eyewitness account from a disciple how had the unique opportunity to see “the Word of God” (see John 1:1-18 to see another close disciple of Christ literally call Jesus “the Word”) alive and in Incarnate in the flesh. Peter is zooming in on one experience related in the Gospels, when James, John and Peter himself saw Jesus transfigured into glory (Matthew 17:1–9, Mark 9:2-8, Luke 9:28–36). And Moses, representing the Law (see John 1:17 as an example), and Elijah, representing the Prophets (Malachi 4:5 cf. Matthew 17:11-13), were sent from heaven as a witness to this glorification of Jesus before these men’s very eyes.
It sends chills down my spine. And I have no doubt in my mind that it continued to send chills down Peter’s spine every single time he thought about that moment for the rest of his life until he himself was crucified as a martyr in testimony of his Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, under Emperor Nero in 64 AD.
Listen to what this man who testified to his faith in his very own blood had to say: he was not making up a bunch of fables or fairy tales: he himself saw everything he writes about and he saw it in the company of other men who saw the same things alongside him. You keep seeing the witness verbs: “We saw.” “With our own eyes.” “We ourselves heard that voice.” “When we were with him.”
They saw it with their own eyes and they heard it with their own ears and they touched it with their own hands. St. John – another Apostle and Disciple of Christ who also personally witnessed and experienced the Transfiguration of Jesus with Peter, said the following:
We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us.We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy. — 1 John 1:1-4
Again, St. John, “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 13:23, 13:25, 19:26, 20:2, 21:7, 21:20), again and again pointed to what he had personally witnessed and experienced: “W proclaim to you the One … whom we have heard and seen.” “We saw Him with our own eyes and touched Him with our own hands.” “This One who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen Him.”
Everything that Jesus did and said was publicly witnessed, especially by His Disciples, who Jesus commissioned as His witnesses. They were there. They lived it. They saw it and heard it and touched it. John recorded that Thomas literally put his fingers in the holes that remained in Jesus’ wrists and ankles following His Resurrection (John 20:19-28).
It is a FACT of history that all of the Disciples of Jesus, save old John – who himself was tortured and suffered scrounging for existence as a slave-laborer in the mines of an island prison – sealed the truth of their testimony in their own blood. Why was it not John’s fate to die as a martyr? Maybe because he was the one that Jesus commissioned to take care of His mother, Mary, when he said the words, “Woman, behold your son.” And to “the disciple whom He loved” the words, “Behold your mother” (John 19:26-27). But it was ultimately St. John alone, the youngest of the Disciples during the public Ministry of Jesus on earth, who lived on as the final apostolic link to the unbreakable chain of the Testimony of the Church to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, from the dead, and of the New Life in Christ that was available to any who would call on the Name of the LORD Jesus so they could experience the Resurrection Life of Jesus for themselves.
We know that people can sincerely believe something that turns out not to be true. And yes, there are even people who would be willing to die for what turns out to be a lie. I submit that every Islamic terrorist who blows himself up so he can kill as many innocent people as possible, believing that he will go straight to Paradise and enjoy the carnal affections of seventy virgins, fall under this category.
I remember watching the theologically-liberal series, “From Jesus to Christ” on PBS. But even the theological-liberal New Testament scholars that the series heavily relied on all unanimously acknowledged “that his disciples really and with absolute conviction saw him again afterwards.” St. Peter continued to proclaim the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead AS A FACT THAT HE HAD WITNESSED for more than thirty years until his own death. St. John continued to proclaim the FACT of the Resurrection THAT HE HAD PERSONALLY SEEN, HEARD AND TOUCHED for something on the order of seventy years after the Crucifixion of Jesus until his own death around 100 AD.
What makes the Disciples – who of course were also true martyrs who died as witnesses rather as than mass murderers who died killing innocent people – categorically different is the fact that they PERSONALLY saw and PERSONALLY experienced and PERSONALLY heard and PERSONALLY touched Jesus after His Resurrection from the dead. They PERSONALLY were there to experience all the key events FIRSTHAND.
They really, sincerely, with absolute conviction believed the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And my point is that there was absolutely NO POSSIBLE WAY they could have been mistaken.
Let me get back to the Transfiguration of Jesus, for example. Jesus took Peter, James and John with Him. They were all there to see the Transfiguration of Jesus and experience it for themselves. And afterward, they clearly would have been saying to one another, “Did you just see what I saw?” And “What did YOU see?” And they were easily able to verify that it had really, truly happened, that they were NOT having a hallucination, for the very simple reason that three people cannot have the same hallucination, the same exact departure from reality, at the same time. Three witnesses saw the same thing. They verified it to one another. It happened. It wasn’t just a “clever story.” It was real. Real enough to be willing to live for. Real enough to be willing to die for after having lived your entire life completely transformed by that they each saw with their own eyes, heard with their own ears, and touched with their own hands.
Twelve ordinary, uneducated men from a conquered backwater Roman province rocked the world with “what they had heard, what they had seen with their eyes, what they beheld and their hands handled, concerning the Word of Life,” as John put it in the opening verse of his first epistle. Think also about the key early followers of Jesus: think of James the Just, the brother of Jesus. Not only had James not believed in Jesus or His ministry while it was popular to do so, but James had actually believed that Jesus was out of His mind. I just ask you: what would it take for you to believe that your brother was in fact GOD? I mean, just imagine being the parents: “Mom, my brother is saying He’s God again!” “Stop telling James you’re God, Jesus!” “But I Am that I Am!” “MOM!” Seriously: imagine what had to happen to bring James to his knees before Jesus: first of all, it required a post-Resurrection appearance, which Paul describes in what is very clearly an EARLY Christian creed found in 1 Corinthians 15 dated to within five years of the Resurrection by historians: “Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles” (vs. 7). James had to realize upon self-reflection how Jesus had lived His entire life in moral perfection. And James believed that his half-brother (James’ father was Joseph; Jesus’ Father was God) truly was God Incarnate. And he believed. James became the leader of the early church in Jerusalem. James came to be known by the nickname “Camel Knees” because of the large calluses on his knees that he developed from spending long hours on his knees in prayer – to his Brother. Again, imagine the personal transformation that had to occur! James was murdered about AD 62 in a mob riot incited by the Sanhedrin. He gave his LIFE in his faith in his Brother. Imagine that! Add to the mix Saul of Tarsus. Saul was a rabid Pharisee in the very spirit of the rabid Sanhedrin that murdered James. He went out breathing fire and hate in his desire to destroy what he viewed as a terrible, blasphemous heresy against his beloved Judaism as men and women began increasingly worshiping One named Jesus they claimed was the Messiah of Israel. Saul went out on the Road to Damascus to hunt down Christians and put them in chains; somehow, he amazingly BECAME a Christian when he heard the very Jesus he was trying to eradicate speak to him and strike him blind until another Christian came to heal this Persecutor of the Church. Paul, after having suffered a LIFETIME of suffering for His Lord whom he once tried to exterminate from history, died as a martyr in testimony to his absolute faith in Jesus as the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the World.
How do you explain these men???
Now, allow me to return to 1 Peter 1:16-21 and enter into evidence the additional witness of Moses and Elijah, and what their appearance on the Mount of Transfiguration meant: as I already pointed out, Moses represented the Law, and Elijah represented the Prophets. In other words, they represented the Scriptures, the Word of God as it had been handed down to God’s people from Adam and Eve until Jesus’ day.
Over forty men who wrote over a period of over 2,000 years. And yet it marvelously, miraculously tells one story: the story of the fall of the human race, and the story of the Creator God who ultimately became a man Himself in order to take our sins upon Himself and save us.
Let’s do some comparison for the sake of contrast: how many men wrote the Qur’an? One. His name was Muhammad. How many other men could independently verify that Muhammad wasn’t making up a whole bunch of stories? Zero. Muhammad was alone in a cave called Hira the first time he allegedly received the dictation of the Qur’an by an angel that Muhammad had already heard about from the Jews who frequently came along the Arabian trading routes. At no time during any of Muhammad’s revelations do we ever find that anyone else was present.
If you want to trust a sacred Book, which one should you trust? Particularly given the fact that Muhammad clearly pirated large portions of the rival sacred Book: he couldn’t even find his own angel; he had to steal one from the Jews. He couldn’t even invent his own patriarch, he had to pirate Abraham from the Jews and warp their account to reject Isaac and make Ishmael the hero in blatant contradiction of what the original account presented in Genesis chapters 15 through 18. And if you read the excellent work, “The Truth About Muhammad,” you will find that, amazingly, every single time Muhammad wanted to do something to advance his own interest, he would somehow have a revelation from Allah that let him have whatever he wanted. There were dozens of these “convenient surahs,” but the most infamous of them were the so-called “Satanic Verses” that allowed Muhammad to receive one “revelation” that allowed allies to have their own gods in order to secure their alliance against a common enemy, only to then receive a completely contradictory “revelation” when the first “revelation” became inconvenient for Muhammad. It’s kind of like me promising I’ll give you a billion dollars if you risk your life fighting for me, and then I receive a revelation from God after you’ve fought and won my war for me declaring that I don’t have to pay you a dime. Whenever Muhammad wanted something, he could mysteriously soon afterward have a surah “revealed” to him that justified his doing or taking or murdering or marrying whatever he wanted.
The same is true of the Book of Mormon. One guy wrote it. Initially, there were three so-called “witnesses” that claimed they had seen the “golden plates” that Smith said he used to write the Book of Mormon. Such that:
The Three Witnesses were a group of three early leaders of the Latter Day Saint movement who wrote in a statement of 1830 that an angel had shown them the golden plates from which Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon and that they had heard God’s voice testifying that the book had been translated by the power of God
The Three Witnesses were Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, and David Whitmer, whose joint testimony, in conjunction with a separate statement by Eight Witnesses, has been printed with nearly every edition of the Book of Mormon since its first publication in 1830. All three witnesses eventually broke with Smith and were excommunicated from the church.[1]In 1838, Joseph Smith called Cowdery, Harris, and Whitmer “too mean to mention; and we had liked to have forgotten them.”[2]
I suppose I could point out that at least Joseph Smith managed to find some so-called “witnesses” who at least initially claimed to be able to verify that Smith wasn’t full of bovine feces, which makes his book vastly superior to Muhammad’s in that regard. And at least Joseph Smith managed to invent his own angel, rather than merely pirating one from the Bible, as Muhammad had. The problem is that all of Joseph Smith’s primary “witnesses” were bogus and ended up being excommunicated from the church their “witness” had given birth to. And then there is the unfortunate fact that Joseph Smith was a convicted fraud and con-man before he suddenly became a “prophet.”
That is NOT the way the Bible is. Not at ALL. There are layers upon layers of interlocking sources. As examples from the Old Testament period, Ruth was written contemporaneously with Judges. So you have writers who didn’t even know each other authenticating one another. The Pentateuch covered the period written in Job. During the period of 2 Samuel, David was writing his Psalms. And we can learn more from both sources about the other from each. As we get into the Books of Kings, we’ve got all kinds of interlocking sources: we’ve got 1 and 2 Chronicles, Song of Solomon, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Obadiah, Joel, Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Jeremiah and Lamentations all during that same period. All these different biblical writers giving us accounts that never contradict one another the way Muhammad frequently contradicted Muhammad. Daniel and Ezekiel wrote during the same basic period of time. Ezra, Esther, Haggai, and Zachariah were written over the same period of time. Nehemiah and Malachi were written over the same period of time.
The same is true of the New Testament, only we have even MORE corroboration. How many Gospels, how many accounts of the life of Jesus, how many perspectives, do we have? We’ve got FOUR. We’ve got St. Matthew, we’ve got St. Paul, we’ve got St. Luke, we’ve got St. Peter, we’ve got St. John, we’ve got St. James, we’ve got St. Jude, we’ve got the writer of Hebrews, all writing about the same Gospel over the same period of time. And they NEVER contradict one another when their writings are closely studied in full context. The deeper you get, the more the harmony. Which is an amazing, and literally miraculous thing.
Again, for the sake of contrast, try that with the Qur’an. Salmon Rushdie pointed out the sordid history of the self-refutation of Muhammad as a prophet of God, and he was rewarded with a fatwa on his life as a result. And they recently reinstated it just to make sure we know they’re still out to murder him. Think of the sneering liberals who mock the Bible and Christians who would NEVER DARE do the same thing to the Qur’an and Muslims – because they are cowards and because they know that Muslims would murder them whereas Christians will only pray for them. My point is that the Bible has withstood 2,000 years of hateful, demonic attack and unrelenting criticism from unbelievers that would have long-since destroyed any book that was NOT from God. And the Bible didn’t survive by murdering and massacring its intellectual and moral opponents the way the Qur’an has.
The New York Times Best Seller List never mentions the Bible. That is because The Bible refutes absolutely everything liberalism stands for. But the Bible is every single day, every single week, every single month, every single year, year-after-year, century-after-century, the best-selling Book on planet EARTH. NOTHING ELSE even comes CLOSE to it. More than FIVE BILLION Bibles have been sold, according to Guinness World Records.
So let me get back to where I began, with 2 Peter 1:16-21. Peter witnessed, along with James and John – with Moses and Elijah representing the testimony of the Law and the Prophets of the Deity and Ministry of Jesus of Nazareth – the Transfiguration of Christ. And Peter, reflecting on that day, writes:
Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts. Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God. — 2 Peter 1:19-21
Peter is pointing out what the great historian and careful researcher St. Luke pointed out in his Gospel when he wrote of two disciples experience when they unknowingly encountered the Resurrected Jesus on the Road to Emmaus. They had been talking to one another about all of the events that had taken place since Jesus’ arrest and public execution and Jesus – His identity concealed from them – began walking with them as they walked along the road. Jesus asked them, “What are you guys talking about?” And they incredulously asked Jesus, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?” (Luke 24:18). Jesus asked, “What things?” And they told Him, culminating in this:
And some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said: but Him [Jesus] they did not see.
And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” And beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. — Luke 24:24-27
And again when Jesus appeared to the eleven Disciples and Jesus ate with them and told them:
“These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, “This it is written that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day; and that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” — Luke 24:44-48
I’ve already provided a link to the hundreds of prophecies that Jesus would have explained to them how He fulfilled in His birth, His ministry, His sacrificial death as the Lamb of God in atonement for the sins of the world and His glorious resurrection.
That’s what Peter is describing. He saw the prophetic Word of the Scripture come alive right before his very eyes, his very ears, his very hands. The Scriptures are a lamp in a dark place that shine our way straight to Christ and to His salvation from sin into a new birth through regeneration and a new life through sanctification.
There are times in my mind when something occurs to me and I conclude based on my experience, based on my reasoning, based on my intuition, that something is going to happen. That’s NOT what the prophets did. Peter – a prophet and writer of Scripture through divine inspiration himself – specifically says that prophets DON’T write from their own understanding of what they happen to think, or from any human initiative or intuition. NO, Peter says very plainly, these prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.
So Peter had Jesus Himself teach him about how the Scriptures prophesied His coming and precisely detail what He would do when He came. Hundreds of prophecies fulfilled; 456 identifying characteristics described. And Peter – who also witnessed the Resurrected Jesus after having seen His dead body – saw the prophetic Word made more sure.
All the political coalitions are in place that the Bible amazingly described 2,600 years ago. China’s way across the mighty Euphrates River has not merely been cleared, it has literally been PAVED as a network of concrete dams literally allows them to shut off one of the mightiest rivers on earth. And not only cross the river but use it as their HIGHWAY to Armageddon.
Is the passage of Revelation 6:14, detailing the opening days of the period that will soon befall a wicked humanity when “The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up,” was that merely symbolic? Not when you consider that that is PRECISELY what a nuclear warhead looks like when it is detonated. And God’s Word prophetically saw that day coming 2,000 years BEFORE THE FIRST HUMAN EVEN DREAMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
Just as God’s word wasn’t merely being “allegorical” or “symbolic” when it described an army of 200 million soldiers from the east – PRECISELY WHERE SUCH A VAST ARMY WOULD COME TODAY – when at the time this prophecy was given there weren’t 200 million human beings on the entire planet.
Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies of His First Advent LITERALLY. He wasn’t symbolically born of a virgin; He didn’t allegorically rise from the dead. It is fools from hell who deny the literal Word of God. And in the same way, we are watching the prophecies of the end times and the Second Advent culminating in Jesus Christ coming as King of kings and Lord of lords being fulfilled LITERALLY. And that is made sure just as sure as the fact that Russia and Iran are not “symbolically” in Syria immediately north of Israel.
Even if you’ve got nothing else, ESPECIALLY if you’ve got nothing else in this world, you can COUNT on the Scriptures. that is because “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8).
Allow me to state something at the outset of this: evangelical Christians and biblically literate Jews have been noting and pointing to the ominous four blood moons that are happening during the current twelve-month period we are now in. I myself have written about them (and see here). The phenomena of a tetrad of blood moons occurring simultaneously with the Jewish biblical feasts is rare and each time it has occurred, it has signaled ominous events for Jews. As I pointed out, the first blood moon was accompanied by a massive rocket attack as the terrorist organization running Lebanon began raining rockets onto Israel and Israel was forced to react. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu pointed out that the same United Nations that has passed twenty resolutions condemning Israel for that action have passed only ONE resolution against Syria – even though the 250,000 people murdered so far in that conflict DWARF the ENTIRE NUMBER killed in the entire HISTORY of every war Israel has ever been in combined. All I can say for certain is that they ALL are ominous harbingers for Israel and they ALL happened during this incredibly prophetic blood moon tetrad.
What we are finding now is that there are SO MANY ominous events for Israel going on right now that it may be IMPOSSIBLE to determine precisely WHICH truly fulfills the blood moons Because there are SO MANY things that are truly terrible for Israel all going on at the same time right now. I talk about the Obama Administration as a firehose of pure evil just pouring out wickedness. You literally can’t keep track of it all. So we can look at the first blood moon and wonder if it heralded the massive rocket attack by Hamas or the creation of the caliphate by Islamic State or Obama’s wicked Iran nuclear deal.
In the same way, was this last blood moon that just occurred September 28 a harbinger of the sealing of the wicked Iran nuclear deal or was it the harbinger of the beginning of Russia’s outright projection of military force against the few people friendly to United States’ interests that just began?
Obama has demonized Bush wars so much it is beyond unreal. He has cast himself as the anti-Bush. But Bush fought wars and thousands died. So why is it that if Bush is responsible for people dying by the thousands because of his wars, Obama is NOT responsible for deaths now going by the QUARTERS OF MILLIONS due to Obama refusing to fight evil??? 250,000 have miserably perished just in Syria alone, while tens of thousands more have perished in Iraq, in Egypt, in Libya, etcetera.
It is precisely because Obama stood by and did nothing that Gog of Magog just stormed into Syria.
It is this last that I want to deal with today. I want to talk about Russia directly entering the Middle East as a great and greatly violent power. And I want to talk about how the Bible prophesied this last days event 2,600 years ago. Pick up a Bible and turn to Ezekiel 38:
And the word of the LORD came to me saying, “Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. “I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords; Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops– many peoples with you. “Be prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. “After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them. — Ezekiel 38:1-8
I know that there isn’t a Democrat on planet earth who takes the Holy Bible, the Word of God, seriously. Which is why you can worship homosexual sodomy in violation of Romans chapter one on an altar of sixty million murdered babies in violation of Psalm 139 when the Bible declares you are in fact as wicked and depraved as any NAZI. But here’s the thing: the fact that you refuse to honor God or believe His Word doesn’t change the fundamental FACT that God’s Word is TRUE and WILL come to pass.
And so here we are: just as the Bible taught, in the very last days that the Bible was speaking about, Russia – or shall we call them Gog of the land of Magog given the fact that Russia (formerly Scythia) was identified as Gog dating back to Josephus in the first century AD – is in Syria right on the doorstep of Israel. You can mock us dispensationalist premillennial Christians all you want, but we were RIGHT about boldly stating that the Bible taught Israel would be resurrected from the dead as a nation in fulfillment of Ezekiel 37 – when there were ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS IN THIS WORLD that Israel would be so resurrected from the dead – and we were also right in boldly stating going back to John Nelson Darby and CI Scofield that Russia would one day become a great and mighty world power in order to fulfill its role in biblical prophecy.
Stirring scenes … occur in the valley [Jezreel] no more. There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent-not for thirty miles in either direction. There are two or three small clusters of Bedouin tents, but not a single permanent habitation. One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings.
God and those who believed His Word were right; and everyone else on earth was utterly wrong.
Name the writers or thinkers that predicted an airplane would fly kamikaze-style into the World Trade Center and start a great war in the Middle East. I can: Joel C. Rosenberg in his book, “The Last Jihad.” He was called the “modern-day Nostradamus” for reading the Bible literally and devising a fictional plot scenario that took what the Bible prophetically taught into account.
So you can mock us all you want, liberal, for fearing and honoring the Word of the Living God. But here we are, with a country that we predicted would be a great empire on the doorstep of a nation that we said would exist when there were nothing but a few Bedouins and camels there.
The last-days war of Gog-Magog WILL happen. At this point in history – recognizing that fools abound – only a FOOL would argue that it will not.
Too bad there are so many damn fools. Which is why we ended up with Obama. And which is why all the prophecies about the soon-coming Antichrist, a.k.a. the beast, will soon come to pass as people literally worship this world tyrant and take his mark on their right hands or on their foreheads.
I want you to consider Russia’s violent entry into the Middle East.
I want you to realize that every single president since Israel became a nation in 1948 would have gone to WAR with Russia to prevent this day from ever happening.
Another of Stalin’s broken promises was to remove troops from Iran after the war. Iran was rich in oil and was an important ally for both the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The Soviets stationed troops in Iran during the war to secure the Middle East and prevent German attacks. At the Tehran Conference in 1943, all of the major Allies agreed to remove troops from Iran. However, the Soviets still had troops stationed there in 1946, a full year after the war. Stalin went so far as to use his military to support and aid a rebellion in Iran in 1946. Truman was furious about Stalin’s betrayal. Americans grew distrustful of the Soviets and began to worry that the USSR intended to spread communism to the Middle East. […]
WWII put the U.S. in a new and unfamiliar role. Having previously chosen to remain relatively isolated, America was now cast as a world leader. American leaders quickly realized that a plan was required to address the Soviet Union. George F. Kennan was a brilliant U.S. diplomat and an expert on the Soviet Union. In 1946, he was stationed in Moscow, and the State Department asked him to clarify recent Soviet conduct. The world had never seen a threat like communism or a nation that behaved as the Soviet Union did, and the West was confused about how to address these issues. Kennan was one of the few western experts on the Soviet Union, and he was essentially tasked with creating a policy that would be used to deal with the Soviet threat.
Kennan drafted his response to the State Department in a telegram in February 1946. His reply was 8,000 words and contained significant coverage of the issue. The length and breadth of his reply earned it the nickname the “Long Telegram.” He painstakingly covered the history of the USSR and how it had shaped current policies. He provided information that helped American leaders gain a greater insight into the background and mentality of Soviets like Stalin. He advised that the USSR was “ruthlessly expansionary” but also cautious. Kennan stated that if left unchecked the Soviets would expand their regime whenever and wherever possible. He also believed that the Soviet Union’s cautious nature allowed the U.S. to avoid actively engaging the Soviets militarily to keep them in check. It was his belief that a policy of “firm and vigilant containment” could control the Soviet threat. Kennan’s telegram helped form the basis of America’s containment policy toward the Soviet Union.
The Truman Doctrine was BORN out of Gog of the land of Magog’s determination to involve itself in the Middle East, a study of history reveals. It was born out of an American determination to prevent Russia from being allowed to involve itself. The idea behind the Truman Doctrine was that the United States would go to any length to fight Gog of the land of Magog’s expansion or projection of influence. Truman also declared, “it must be the policy of the United States to support free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.”
Russia had allies in the Middle East. But we largely kept them OUT. We did not and never would have allowed them to bring in large numbers of troops who would launch airstrikes and armor and infantry attacks – particularly against OUR ALLIES, as Russia just did:
Russia swears they’re attacking Islamic State positions. But after giving the United States a one-hour window to get out, their aircraft attacked Homs, where the backbone of the anti-Assad rebellion which is allied with the United States, is centered.
Russia and Iran. As In Gog of the land of Magog and Persia. Just as the Word of God declared this alliance would surely happen.
This was UNTHINKABLE ten years ago. No way IN HELL would the United States have EVER allowed Russia and Iran into the Arab Middle East.
But Lucifer’s pawn is our president now. And he is the worst fool the human race has ever seen, supported by the worst fools the human race has ever seen.
Remember Obama mocking Mitt Romney because Romney was wise and Obama is a fool? Obama mocked: “You said Russia. And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back. Because the Cold War has been over for 20 years.”
There are two wicked entities right now – neither one being more utterly demonic than the other – that have “fundamentally transformed” America’s foreign policy from preventing Armageddon to guaranteeing that Armageddon WILL happen: and that is Islamic State and Barack Hussein Obama.
Islamic State could never have existed in the first place without Barack Hussein Obama. It barely even existed when Obama arrogantly placed his feet on top of the desk in the Oval Office of the White House. Just as the vicious civil war that has seen a quarter million Syrian civilians murdered would not have consumed so many lives had Obama not backed down from his “red line” warning like the cowardly, pathetic weasel that he truly is. In fact Obama began the process that culminated in the current military conquest by Gog of the land of Magog when he apathetically allowed Vladimir Putin to exploit his key ally Assad’s use of weapons of mass destruction against his own people.
It’s not quite enough to point out that ISIS was nothing but a disenfranchised offshoot of the al Qaeda in Iraq THAT WAS DEFEATED BY BUSH:
“By the end of 2008 and in the beginning of 2009, President Bush’s surge strategy, led by General Petraeus and General Odierno, now the Chief of Staff of the Army, defeated the al-Qaeda in Iraq. I saw the transmissions because I was advising Petraeus on the ground in Iraq. They showed me the transmissions from al-Qaeda that they were intercepting. They said: ‘We are defeated, don’t send any more foreign fighters.’ So we knew how to deal with this enemy in that category.” — General Jack Keane, former commander of the 101st Airborne Division, former commander of the XVIII Airborne Corps, i.e. the Rapid Deployment Force, former Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army
“I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government.”
“Today, I can announce that our review is complete, and that the United States will pursue a new strategy to end the war in Iraq through a transition to full Iraqi responsibility. […]
This strategy is grounded in a clear and achievable goal shared by the Iraqi people and the American people: an Iraq that is sovereign, stable, and self-reliant.
General David Petraeus and all the key generals were shocked and awed by the profound, demon-possessed STUPIDITY of Barack Obama that guaranteed that the Iraq they had fought to hard to win would fall to the very terrorists they had defeated:
WASHINGTON, Feb 2 2009 (IPS) – CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus, supported by Defence Secretary Robert Gates, tried to convince President Barack Obama that he had to back down from his campaign pledge to withdraw all U.S. combat troops from Iraq within 16 months at an Oval Office meeting Jan. 21.
But Obama informed Gates, Petraeus and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen that he wasn’t convinced and that he wanted Gates and the military leaders to come back quickly with a detailed 16-month plan, according to two sources who have talked with participants in the meeting.
Obama’s decision to override Petraeus’s recommendation has not ended the conflict between the president and senior military officers over troop withdrawal, however. There are indications that Petraeus and his allies in the military and the Pentagon, including Gen. Ray Odierno, now the top commander in Iraq, have already begun to try to pressure Obama to change his withdrawal policy.
A network of senior military officers is also reported to be preparing to support Petraeus and Odierno by mobilising public opinion against Obama’s decision.
Petraeus was visibly unhappy when he left the Oval Office, according to one of the sources. A White House staffer present at the meeting was quoted by the source as saying, “Petraeus made the mistake of thinking he was still dealing with George Bush instead of with Barack Obama.”
Petraeus, Gates and Odierno had hoped to sell Obama on a plan that they formulated in the final months of the Bush administration that aimed at getting around a key provision of the U.S.-Iraqi withdrawal agreement signed envisioned re-categorising large numbers of combat troops as support troops. That subterfuge was by the United States last November while ostensibly allowing Obama to deliver on his campaign promise. […]
The opening argument by the Petraeus-Odierno faction against Obama’s withdrawal policy was revealed the evening of the Jan. 21 meeting when retired Army Gen. Jack Keane, one of the authors of the Bush troop surge policy and a close political ally and mentor of Gen. Petraeus, appeared on the Lehrer News Hour to comment on Obama’s pledge on Iraq combat troop withdrawal.
Keane, who had certainly been briefed by Petraeus on the outcome of the Oval Office meeting, argued that implementing such a withdrawal of combat troops would “increase the risk rather dramatically over the 16 months”. He asserted that it would jeopardise the “stable political situation in Iraq” and called that risk “not acceptable”.
Anybody who states that Obama had no choice but to leave Iraq is a fool and a liar. Just as Obama himself is a fool and a liar. OBAMA AND OBAMA ALONE decided to cut and run from Iraq AFTER we won the war when there WAS not ONE but SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES to the most literalistic reading of the Status of Forces Agreement that Obama swore tied his hands. The FACT is that the United States had multiple options that anyone but a FOOL would have pursued: but Obama was and IS a fool and Obama wanted out so he could boast about being the president who brought the troops home.
And LOOK what an unending HOLOCAUST we have across the Middle East to show for this petty man’s arrogant childishness.
Now Obama is absolutely HELPLESS before them and POWERLESS TO STOP THEM and has to plead with his superiors in Russia and Iran to deal with this “JayVee” power.
It might be true that Islamic State is “JayVee,” I suppose, but the United States of America is “PeeWee” under Barack Hussein Obama’s treasonous and cowardly and idiotic and incompetent administration.
All I am saying is that NO TRUE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WOULD EVER HAVE ALLOWED what Obama has treasonously allowed to come to pass by his cowardice and his stupidity and his demonic moral idiocy.
You want to see what Obama has done to “win” the war in Syria? Some headlines:
Column In Syria: $36 million to train 60 opposition fighters?
Doyle McManus•Contact Reporter
July 12, 2015, 5:00 AM
A little more than a year ago, President Obama asked Congress for $500 million to train and equip some 15,000 opposition fighters in Syria, arguing that the best way to defeat Islamic State terrorists was to arm local forces.
The war against Islamic State “will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil,” Obama promised. “Instead, we must strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists.”
Last week, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter gave Congress a progress report. The training program is up and running, he said, and almost 7,000 Syrians have applied to join — but the total number of fighters trained comes to exactly 60.
Sixty? UCLA has more men on its football roster. That’s “not an impressive number,” Carter acknowledged.
Skeptics instantly did the arithmetic: If that’s all we get for $500 million, it comes to almost $9 million per fighter — and the trainees haven’t even made it onto the battlefield yet.
But if you think THAT’S pathetic, it actually was even WORSE. ‘Cause, I mean, don’t knock sixty fighters. Sixty actual fighters would be an impressive achievement for an idiotic, disgraceful pile of human waste like Barack Hussein Obama. So when the actual facts came out…
Only four or five U.S.-trained Syrian rebels are still fighting in Syria, a top U.S. general told Congress on Wednesday, a stark admission of setbacks to a fledgling military program that critics have already pronounced a failure.
The U.S. military began training in May for up to 5,400 fighters a year, in what was seen as a test of President Barack Obama’s strategy of having local partners combat Islamic State militants and keep U.S. troops off the front lines.
But the program was troubled from the start, with some of the first class of less than 60 fighters coming under attack from al Qaeda’s Syria wing, Nusra Front, in their battlefield debut. Some were captured and killed while others scattered.
This is kind of like Obama’s inane oft-repeated boast that he has a coalition of sixty nations. Because he has a coalition of sixty nations the way he had 15,000 opposition fighters. Or even SIXTY fighters, for that matter. Obama’s “coalition” is as much of a sick joke as his shambles of a foreign policy is.
Which puts Obama’s airstrikes into the laugh-riot of his 4 or 5 fighters. Who are undoubtedly dead now that Putin is bombing them.
Obama’s mission against Islamic State is designed to FAIL. It is designed to appear like he’s doing something when he really is doing NOTHING.
If Barack Obama is your ally, YOU ARE A TRUE FOOL. Anyone, EVERYONE who trusts in Obama deserves to perish miserably.
Obama has been cooking his own intelligence. All along, this fool – the same fool who ridiculed Islamic State as “JayVee” – has been intentionally minimizing the threat against America, against Israel, against the world. Now fifty intelligence experts are coming right out and DECLARING it.
Now, anybody who is fool enough or stupid enough or just insane enough to believe that Obama is a man who wants the truth but is being deceived by those under him, I simply point out this: Major Nidal Hasan, the Allahu Akbar-screaming, card-carrying “Soldier of Allah” TERRORIST who murdered American soldiers but was amazingly declared an example of “workplace violence” by a president who is and has always BEEN pathologically dishonest about being honest about terrorists and terrorism. We have now seen DOZENS of examples of OBVIOUS terrorism being declared anything but by this lying fool president. There is no question that his top brass was ordered to produce the “proof” that Obama wanted – and the fact that Obama’s “proof” is a mountain of lies is irrelevant to anyone but the few who still care about “truth” in this postmodern and post-Christian planet.
The Obama presidency is an eight-year experiment in treason against the United States of America as the basis of a foreign policy.
But 2,600 years ago, God foreknew that there would be an utterly useless turd in the White House, and that this useless turd would allow a terrorist army to rise into the status of creating the very first terrorist caliphate in history. And that Russia would see the opening and come in much the way a fish sees the bait on a line and swoops in.
Anyone who isn’t a fool can see Vladimir Putin’s end game: he is in Syria right now destroying all of the U.S.-backed rebels who were a threat to the regime of Putin’s Syrian ally Assad. And after Putin has wiped out the resistance, there will be only Assad and Islamic State left, and Putin will argue that we must support his ally Assad. That’s what brought Putin into Syria, THAT was the hook God put in Russia’s jaw: the opportunity to essentially take over the influence in the Middle East that the United States had and abandoned and that Russia wanted but had always been shut-out by a too-powerful United States. At least until Obama the fool came along to create a giant vacuum of leadership and invite in what all previous presidents would have gone to war to keep out.
Armageddon IS going to happen now. Democrats voted for it, just as much as they will surely one day soon vote to take the Antichrist’s mark on their right hands or on their foreheads.
You go ahead and mock me, but one day you’ll be taking that mark on your OWN right hand or forehead as you worship the beast that is the face of human Government in defiance of the One True God.
