Modern World Like Orwell's 1984?

8/23/2017

The Modern World of 2017
Shocking Resemblance of Orwell's Book "1984"
***
8-18-17, Annette -- As I watch in horror the current world condition with hatred amassing it's grotesque face in every direction, makes me think of George Orwell's book '1984'

... here's an excerpt from 'Cliff Notes' summary: [1] [2]

"The main character, Winston, worked in the Records Dept in the "Ministry of Truth," rewriting and distorting history. He's determined to remain human under inhuman circumstances. Yet telescreens [cameras] are placed everywhere — in his home, in his cubicle at work, in the cafeteria where he eats, even in the bathroom stalls. His every move is watched. No place is safe. Sex is endorsed, but without love. Old people who still remember freedom are eradicated. The mentally and weak are euthanized. In the end he is tortured as he must change his way of thinking ... "

The world we currently know makes me feel tortured; as IT's attempting to force me into believing as the obscene and anti Jesus 'liberal left' believes. I have been called racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic and more.

This 'torture' continues across America and the world. We who oppose abortion wanting freedom to trust our Lord Jesus and expect all able bodied people to work for their sustenance believing in marriage with a man and woman with children as God's perfect design ... are now anathema!

Another sign of the Lord soon return?

Scripture for Today: Israel Peace?

8/22/2017

Unattainable Peace with Arabs
Foolish To Interfere With God's 'Apple'
***
The Lord Said: "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. … THEN shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle." Zechariah 12:3; 14:2-3

8-22-17, Some people believe that the Muslim [aka Arab] conflicts following Israel's 1948 UN approved return to their land has played unfairly to the Muslims who claim the land belongs to them. They are delusional as they want Jerusalem and all of the land of Israel. Yet nowhere in their 'holy book' is Jerusalem mentioned even once*.

Journalist Hunter Stuart Moved to Israel he said:
"Before I moved to Jerusalem, I was very pro-Palestinian and hostile toward the Israelis ... however even the kindest, most educated, upper-class Palestinians simply will not be content with a two-state solution ‒ what they want is to return to their ancestral homes in Ramle and Jaffa and Haifa and other places in 1948 Israel.... they want the Israelis who live there now to leave. They almost never speak of coexistence; they speak of expulsion, of taking back “their” land." [1]

As President Trump's Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner again travels to Israel attempting to broker a deal. Should the Israelis bargain with a people who clearly want to kill them and keep ALL the Land? No!

"For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye." Zechariah 2:8

* $1 million Offered If Anyone Can Find "Jerusalem" in the Islamic book the Koran You will not find Jerusalem in the Qur'an.

[1] Hunter Stuart: "There's a distinct double anti-Israel standard in the European & USA media. Where do these double standards come from? I’ve come to believe it’s because the Israeli-Palestinian conflict appeals to the appetites of progressive people in Europe, the US and elsewhere. They see it as a white, first world people beating on a poor, third world one. It’s easier for them to become outraged watching two radically different civilizations collide than it is watching Alawite Muslims kill Sunni Muslims in Syria, for example, because to a Western observer the difference between Alawite and Sunni is too subtle to fit into a compelling narrative that can be easily summarized on Facebook."

Israel, Hamas, Egypt indirectly cooperating against ISIS
8-17-17, Al Monitor · How times have changed. In the fight against the Islamic State (IS) in Sinai and Salafi groups in Islamic terror ridden Gaza Israel, there has been an indirect alliance.

Report: Three US Destroyers Rammed in Pacific

8/22/2017

2017 THREE US Ships Rammed [aka 'collided' with]
Four Navy Ship Incidents in the Pacific Region
President Trump Announced Action in Afghanistan?
_____
8-22-17, Do you see what I see? Looks like a pattern. Are our sailors so inept and poorly trained that these 'collisions' [aka ramming] could occur 3 times in 3 months [May, June, August] because of the United States human error? The USS Fitzgerald command was relieved of duty - oh? The map clearly shows the merchant ship turned around and apparently deliberately rammed her; doesn't it?
Didn't Mr Kim Jong-Un of North Korea recently demand a halt to the US & So Korea military drills? Yes he did! Now our fleet command [Obama's choice again], Adm John Richardson has issued a stand down. List of 'incidents:'
_

June 17, 2017: The USS Fitzgerald took a blow to its starboard right side when the container ship MV ACX Crystal collided with her appx 90 miles southwest of Tokyo. The 'incident' killed eleven sailors in their sleeping quarters below deck and severely damaged the warship's hull.

August 21, 2017 USS John McCain took a blow to port left side, below decks to sleeping quarters. She had the right of way when the merchant vessel Alnic MC rammed her. Location: east of the Straits of Malacca and Singapore; it was reported at 6:24 a.m. [Sunrise was at 6:36 am]. Alnic MC is a Liberian-flagged 600-foot oil and chemical tanker with a gross tonnage of 30,000. On Aug 10, 2017 [11 days ago] the McCain took part in a freedom of navigation operation by sailing within 12 miles of the disputed Mischief Reef in the South China Sea earlier this month and was ordered to leave by China as she claims 'Chinese waters.' Fifteen American sailors injured SEVEN dead. More here

Seven Bodies Recovered from USS John McCain
Divers Discover Remains in Search for Missing Sailors

And in January and May 2017:

Jan 30, 2017 USS Antietam ran aground outside of Yokosuka; the am guided-missile cruiser runs aground, leaks oil. No injuries.

May 9, 2017 USS Lake Champlain collides with 60-70 ft South Korea fishing boat near Korean peninsula. The 568-foot Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser that has been with the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson strike group. Incident raises questions about how a foreign vessel was able to come so close to a US Navy ship operating in a region experiencing heightened tensions between the US and North Korea. President Donald Trump declared he would be prepared to act “unilaterally” against Pyongyang in early April. And the arrival late last month of the Vinson strike group, which also includes guided-missile destroyers USS Wayne E. Meyer and USS Michael Murphy, was described as a show of force in advance of a long-anticipated sixth nuclear test from the North Korean government. No injuries.

Stand Down America!
Adm. John Richardson at the Pentagon on 8/21/17 said: "Both ships [Fitzgerald & McCain] are part of the US Pacific Fleet, Destroyer Squadron 15 and the Seventh Fleet. This is obviously an extremely serious incident. And is the second such incident in a very short period of time. And very similar as well. ...This trend demands more forceful action. I have directed an operational pause be taken in all of our fleets around the world.” The operational pause means most Navy operational activities will halt during that period." The need to repair the damaged hulls of both the USS McCain and USS Fitzgerald mean the ships will be unable to take part in the Navy's Aegis missile defense systems at a time when threats posed by North Korean missile attacks in the region are increasing. The two destroyer collisions are unusual because warships are equipped with multiple radars capable of detecting ships as far as 20 miles out. Watch officers on the bridge also are in charge of checking for nearby vessels. [AND - Richardson is another Obama retread 'holdover']

Pres Trump's Defense of HR McMaster is Misplaced
Aug 15, 2017 · Daniel Horowitz contends that Trump’s defense of HR McMaster is misplaced as he is a devoted globalist who has gathered the neocons onto his staff and into prominent positions. Make no mistake about this fact, the top gun and National-Security Adviser is working overtime to destroy the America First movement from within the oval office. President Trump is being engineered into an isolated and solitary confinement with the maneuvers of palace revolutionary traitors. Why Trump allows this obvious undermining of his authority is problematic and obscenely distressing to all his enthusiastic supporters who put him in office.

General Mattis attempted to fill staff with Obama retreads - but some were approved without his lofty approval he complained.

Trump and Obama ReTread - Gen Joseph Dunford - The Atlantic
3-1-17, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Joseph Dunford said the new counter-ISIS war plan the Pentagon was sending to Trump actually was not a “military plan.” It was a whole-of-government plan, calling for non-military help to fight ISIS. There was no talk of “winning” and Dunford certainly understands why. He was commander of the seemingly never-ending Afghanistan War under Obama. But on Monday, Trump proudly boasted that his first federal budget proposal would shift $54 billion to the Pentagon from the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and other non-defense agencies. It sounds like the complete antithesis of what Dunford said the Pentagon was about to propose.

General Dunford Old Obama Appointee Many Years in Afghanistan
CNS.News, 8/12/13 -- Twelve years after the war began, General Joseph Dunford, the commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), says the American people “need to know exactly what we’re trying to do” in Afghanistan.' Dunford outlined “what winning looks like” for the international coalition that has been fighting the war for almost 12 years – at a cost of 2,124 American lives; he said winning the war is no longer about defeating al Qaeda; it was now about nation building.

Fullfillment of prophecy: Bad decisions ...
2 Thessalonians 2 STRONG DELUSIONS

Today's Scripture: God's Wrath

8/21/2017

The Grapes of Wrath
The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of
temptations and to reserve the unjust for punishment
2 Peter 2:4-11

8-21-17, Pete Garcia [Excerpt*] -- The world has now arrived at this generation who has been so thoroughly corrupted, that the 'anti-Christ spirit' has saturated every facet of our generation. Education, religion, philosophy, science, government, politics, military and economics have all become corrupted. Mankind is again reaching that point where they are so mentally, morally and spiritually bankrupt that they no longer are able to reason. This breakdown can be clearly evidenced merely by turning on the TV; viewing the sitcoms, news or reading the day’s headlines.

However, there's still a remnant of society who are the blood-bought redeemed who cannot be tainted; being the born again believers in Christ, His Church.

Abraham once pleaded with God on Lot’s behalf that He should spare Sodom from destruction on account of the righteous that still lived there (Gen. 18:16-33). Abraham puts forth a biblically foundational question by asking God…"Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?"

After much bargaining, God finally settles on ten righteous persons residing in those cities, God would withhold judgment. When judgment did come, God honored His commitment to Abraham by removing Lot and his family before enacting His wrath upon Sodom and Gomorrah.

There is an interesting correlation between man’s progressive sin nature and God’s progressive judgment in dealing with that nature. It is almost like the law of diminishing returns, in which there is less and less good that comes from man’s extended stay on this planet. Within 1,650 years of Adam and Eve’s fall, man had become so sinful, wicked and genetically corrupt that God had to destroy the world with a flood sparing only eight persons of Noah's family ... and in Lot’s day (around 2,000 years from Adam’s fall), the cities of the plains surrounding Sodom and Gomorrah were consumed with fire sparing only Lot and his two daughters (not counting the 'salted' wife). From then until Christ (2,000 years later), numerous nations and empires rose and fell allowing for the conditions to be exactly perfect (fullness of time) for the arrival of the first coming of the Messiah (Gal. 4:4-5).

The number of those who are currently waiting for the Lord to return is diminishing:

Out of the seven and a half billion people alive on the planet today, only two billion claim some form of the Christian faith (about half Protestant, half Catholic).
Out of the two billion ‘Christians,’ only around one billion believe that Jesus will ever physically return to the earth.
Out of the one billion, perhaps only 10% believe Christ will come back in their lifetime.
- Of that number (100,000,000), perhaps 15% (15,000,000) are watching and believe that Christ’s return is imminent.

So only fifteen million out of seven and half billion of the total global population believe Christ’s return is imminent. Jesus said to watch and pray. [Mark 13:33-37]

Not a lot of people when you look at it from that perspective.

At the harpazo (the Rapture) when the world will be going about its day to day activities, desensitized to the prophetic markers heralding Christ’s soon return, it'll be like the days of Noah and Lot. [Luke 17:26-30]

Just as the Jews awaited the arrival of their Messiah in what's been called 'the 400 silent years,' we (the Church) have been waiting 2,000 years for His return. At the rapture, God’s common grace towards mankind will come to an end.

Sinful and unrepentant mankind are given over to a strong delusion (2 Thessalonians 2: 9-12). God’s eternal gaze returns solely to disciplining His covenant nation of Israel and making a full end to all the nations where she has been scattered (Jer. 30:7-11).

While we do not see instant justice exacted for all the wrong doings in this world, our hope and trust lies in God Who has and will not let one single error slip through the cracks:

All of the blood ever spilled on the earth will be judged
All the evil things done in the thick of darkness will be brought to light
All of the injustices ever wrought by man upon man will be accounted for

The grapes of God’s wrath will be pressed and the winepress found overflowing. So while we see a world today that is currently upside down and reeling to and fro like a drunkard drunk on sin, Jesus Himself will put an end to man and Satan’s wickedness once and for all.

However, before the righteous and almighty God - Creator of Heaven and Earth - unleashes His furor He will, in keeping with Abraham’s question, remove His own from a world ripe for judgment.

Horror! Man Attacked in Texas, Woman Killed in Montana and in 2014 Man Killed by Dogs in Michigan

Texas: Man visiting from China mauled by dogs, on life-support

8-19-17, Two Cane Corso dogs mauled Mr Yao who was visiting the Cy-Fair area from China; he is on life support. Witnesses say Mr Yao – was found in a ditch near the home of his daughter and son-in-law. He suffered serious damage to one eye, along with lacerations to his face, neck and body. The dogs have been put down.

Montana: Woman, 65 yr old Melissa Barnes Killed By 2 Pit Bull Dogs While Gardening
June 27, 2017, Melissa Barnes was mauled to death by her tenant's two dogs: a pit bull and pit bull mix. Owner, Wayne Bartlett, surprised as dogs never had any previous aggressive behaviors. Dogs were put down.

Michigan: Two cane corso dogs maul to death Jogger
July 2014, NY Daily News -- The owners of two massive cane corsos that mauled to death a man as he was jogging may be charged with manslaughter. The 3-year-old dogs were untethered when they pounced on Craig Sytsma, 46, as he jogged along Thomas Road, a rural dirt road in Metamora Township around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. A neighbor mowing his lawn waved to the runner as he passed; later discovered him in a ditch with the two dogs ripping at his arms. The dogs have been in Metamora since 2011 and known to law enforcement and animal control since a biting incident in 2012 — and a second in 2013. The dogs will be put down.

Breaking: Charlottesville VA Mayhem: 'A Setup!'

8/20/2017

Breaking: Charlottesville Riots Police Officer Tells All -It was a complete setup [Allen B. West]
The following are early - and as yet unverified - accounts of the unusual behaviors of Charlottesville authorities, but if true - this is very, very serious. It points directly to the reality of the “deep state” and more importantly to the lengths President Trump haters will go to achieve their diabolical goals. Much more serious than white supremacists versus Antifa fighting in the streets.

8-20-17, Derrick Wilburn, Founder and Chairman of the Rocky Mountain Black Conservatives [1] [Excerpted*] -- At least one law enforcement officer [unidentified] in Charlottesville, VA has come forward to clear his conscience revealing the truth — at least his version of it — of what went down in his city. He believes the mayhem was, not only condoned by city governance, but was intentional, orchestrated and may have been planned. He said the PD of Charlottesville was specifically ordered to stand down allowing the two factions to come together instigating violence with a deliberate effort to ignite a race riot.
He also claims the protests, which pitched “white supremacists” against members of Antifa, were “set up” to further the agenda of the elites. We [Charlotesville police] were ordered to bring the rival groups together. As soon as they were in contact with each other, we were told to stand down. It was outrageous. We weren’t allowed to arrest anyone without asking the mayor first. We weren’t even allowed to stop the driver as he sped away.We wanted to do our job and keep the peace. But these mother******s in charge really want to destroy America.
Reporter, Doug McKelway was on the scene in Charlottesville and he backs up the police officer’s claims:
“I can say, having been in Emancipation Park from early on that morning, that what I saw with my own two eyes confirms what this law enforcement source told us. At least from all visible appearances. We saw people coming out of that park who had head wounds, who were bleeding from the head, people walking into that park with bats, with sticks — you saw what they were wearing — helmets, body armor, they had come — and this pertains to both sides — they had come to do damage.. you cannot help but notice from that video that police had been more pro-active, they could have potentially calmed this thing down to some degree. As wounded were being brought out of the park police were sitting idly by.”
Now why would the sworn servants of the populace be just standing around while citizens are bleeding right in front of them? Could it be because they were given specific orders to render no assistance in an effort to let tensions fester?
Tweet from Breaking911: People are now noticing how - at no point - was the car that plowed into the crowd of protesters pursued by police. They allow him to motor on by as if on a Sunday drive. They make NO effort to stop the car which is a mere yard or two away with its torn up windshield and front end traveling at a very low rate of speed leaving a trail of smoke: Does this seem like a normal reaction by law enforcement in such a situation? The depth of this conspiracy runs deeper:
“[Mayor] Michael Signer is a Virginia Democratic activist with close ties to Barack Obama and John Podesta. Before landing the Charlottesville mayor job he previously worked closely with Podesta at the Center of American Progress and worked with him again on Barack Obama’s State Department Transition Team.
…The man accused of being a neo-Nazi and murdering a woman by deliberately driving into her during protests in Charlottesville is in reality a supporter of Hillary Clinton and member of Antifa in receipt of funding by George Soros.
White supremacist and ‘Unite the Right’ leader, Jason Kessler, has been exposed as a supporter of former President Obama and a hardline member of far-left Occupy movement.

When did he change his political leaning? According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (an organization that is certainly no friend to Conservatives), Kessler revealed his political transformation around November 2016, the same month Donald Trump won the presidential election.

If you think 'that' is suspicious, the other actors in this enormous set-up event may convince you; it follows:

Brennan Gilmore was the first man “on the scene” and was the author of the first viral tweet about Charlottesville. He was later interviewed by MSNBC. He was presented as an 'accidental witness;' but who is he really? He worked in Africa as a State Dept foreign officer under Hillary Clinton. The New York Times mentioned this “coincidence” – and then later deleted it. He was also involved with the Kony hoax in 2012, and he is currently Chief of Staff for Tom Perrielo, who is running for Governor of Virginia and received $380k from George Soros. He was later interviewed on mainstream news as a witness, just happened to be a State Dept insider with a long history of involvement in psy-ops? Since the Charlottesville protests and his appearance in the media, his information was suddenly removed from State Dept websites.”

This stinks!

Scripture for Today: Paul & Silas

8/20/2017

Paul and Silas Praise God in Prison
Acts 16:11-40*

8-21-17, In a vision the Lord told Paul, Silas, Timothy and Luke to go to Macedonia. It was several days journey from Troas to Philippi by boat. Since there wasn’t a synagogue there, they began to preach at the river side to several women.

One woman there was Lydia who believed in the Lord Jesus and was baptized. They also met a slave girl who had a demon that Paul cast out; she then believed in Jesus also. She had been a fortune teller and her owners became very angry as they would lose money without their fortune teller.

They dragged Paul & Silas before the rulers of the city who stripped off their clothes, beat and imprisoned them. The jailers secured them far within; clamping their feet into secure stocks designed for the most dangerous criminals. As they sat in their dungeon they prayed and sang of the 'good news' of Jesus so the other prisoners could hear. A great earthquake opened the doors and unshackled them all.

The jailer had fallen asleep and was awakened; seeing all the prisoners freed he was very afraid and almost took his own life, but Paul stopped him with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, we are all here!” The guard believed in the one true God and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” He and his household were saved and baptized. Hallelujah!

History of America Civil War: Dr Walter E. Williams

8/20/2017

The War of 1861
7-15-15, Professor Dr Walter E. Williams -- The victors of war write its history in order to cast themselves in the most favorable light. That explains the considerable historical ignorance about our war of 1861 and panic over the Confederate flag.

To create better understanding, we have to start a bit before the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.

The 1783 Treaty of Paris ended the war between the colonies and Great Britain. Its first article declared the 13 colonies “to be free, sovereign and independent states.” These 13 sovereign nations came together in 1787 as principals and created the federal government as their agent. Principals have always held the right to fire 'agents.' In other words, states held a right to withdraw from the pact — secede. [1]

During the 1787 Constitutional Convention, a proposal was made that would allow the federal government to suppress a seceding state. James Madison rejected it, saying, “A union of the states containing such an ingredient seemed to provide for its own destruction. The use of force against a state would look more like a declaration of war than an infliction of punishment and would probably be considered by the party attacked as a dissolution of all previous compacts by which it might be bound.”

Question: Would there have been any point to offering amendments if secession [1] were already unconstitutional?

On the eve of the War of 1861, even unionist politicians saw secession as a right of states:

The ratification documents of Virginia, New York and Rhode Island explicitly said they held the right to resume powers delegated should the federal government become abusive of those powers. The Constitution never would have been ratified if states thought they could not regain their sovereignty — in a word, secede [1].
On March 2, 1861, after seven states seceded and two days before Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration, Sen. James R. Doolittle of Wisconsin proposed a constitutional amendment that read, “No state or any part thereof, heretofore admitted or hereafter admitted into the union, shall have the power to withdraw from the jurisdiction of the United States.”
Several months earlier, Reps. Daniel E. Sickles of New York, Thomas B. Florence of Pennsylvania and Otis S. Ferry of Connecticut proposed a constitutional amendment to prohibit secession.
Rep. Jacob M. Kunkel of Maryland said, “Any attempt to preserve the union between the states of this Confederacy by force would be impractical, and destructive of republican liberty.”
Both Northern Democratic and Republican Parties favored allowing the South to secede in peace.
Just about every major Northern newspaper editorialized in favor of the South’s right to secede. New York Tribune (Feb. 5, 1860): “If tyranny and despotism justified the Revolution of 1776, then we do not see why it would not justify the secession of Five Millions of Southrons from the Federal Union in 1861.” ... Detroit Free Press (Feb. 19, 1861): “An attempt to subjugate the seceded states, even if successful, could produce nothing but evil — evil unmitigated in character and appalling in content.” ... The New York Times (March 21, 1861): “There is growing sentiment throughout the North in favor of letting the Gulf States go.”

The War of 1861 settled the issue of secession through brute force that cost 600,000 American lives

We Americans celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, but H.L. Mencken correctly evaluated the speech:
“It is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense.”

Lincoln said the soldiers sacrificed their lives “to the cause of self-determination — that government of the people, by the people, for the people should not perish from the earth.”

Mencken says: “It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of people to govern themselves.”

The War of 1861 brutally established that states could not legally secede as written.

We are still living with its effects. Because states cannot secede, the federal government can run roughshod over the U.S. Constitution’s limitations of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments [2].

Sheridan: You commenced the war by taking up arms against the Government and you can have peace only on the condition if your laying them down again.
Grant: I demand your unconditional surrender, and intend to fight on this line until that is accomplished.
Lee: Can't think of surrendering Gentlemen, but allow me through the Chicago platform to propose an armistice and a suspension of hostilities.
Davis: That's it Lee, if we can get out of this tight place by an armistice, it will enable us to recruit up and get supplies to carry on the war four years longer.
Farragut: "Armistice and suspension of hostilities" tell that to the Marines, but sailors don't understand that hail from a sinking enemy.
Sherman: We don't want your Negroes or anything you have; but we do want and will have a just obedience to the laws of the United States.

Lyrics Stand By Me:
by Charles A. Tindley:

When the storms of life are raging,
Stand by me (stand by me);
When the storms of life are raging,
Stand by me (stand by me);
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship upon the sea
Thou Who rulest wind and water,
Stand by me (stand by me).

In the midst of tribulation,
Stand by me (stand by me);
In the midst of tribulation,
Stand by me (stand by me);
When the hosts of hell assail,
And my strength begins to fail,
Thou Who never lost a battle,
Stand by me (stand by me).

In the midst of faults and failures,
Stand by me (stand by me);
In the midst of faults and failures,
Stand by me (stand by me);
When I do the best I can,
And my friends misunderstand,
Thou Who knowest all about me,
Stand by me (stand by me).

In the midst of persecution,
Stand by me (stand by me);
In the midst of persecution,
Stand by me (stand by me);
When my foes in battle array
Undertake to stop my way,
Thou Who savèd Paul and Silas,
Stand by me (stand by me).

When I’m growing old and feeble,
Stand by me (stand by me);
When I’m growing old and feeble,
Stand by me (stand by me);
When my life becomes a burden,
And I’m nearing chilly Jordan,
O Thou “Lily of the Valley,”
Stand by me (stand by me).

Canada: Illegal Migrants Exit USA Flood Trudeauland

8/19/2017

The So Called Refugees from Syria Were Sneaking in Under Cover of Darkness - NO MORE - Broad Daylight See Hundreds Inundate the Canadian Border Police

8-18-17, Daniel Greenfield [*Excerpt] -- Canada's Mounted Police and border agents are currently in a state of crisis. But they’re the victims of a broken Trudeau regime that puts migrants first and Canadians last.

The Mounties have been turned into a delivery service for bringing into Canada the illegals and their luggage. A hundred soldiers have been dispatched, not to stop the illegals, but to put up housing for them.
Major Yves Desbiens said, "Our role is limited to putting up tents with a rigid floor and installing heating and lighting,. When that’s done, some members of the Canadian Army will stay on as the maintenance crew for the invaders."

So much for the Army’s proud motto, ‘We stand on guard for thee.’

The door to Canada was pried open from the inside. And only Canadians can take it out of Trudeau and 'Hussien’s' hands and close it again. Under the conservative Harper government, Canada had sane immigration policies while America was suffering under the scourge of Obama’s illegal border surge. Now the governments have changed and the surge has shifted with them.

Virginia Gov & Mayor of Charlottesville Lied About Guns

8/19/2017

Despite VA Gov McAuliffe's Claim - State Police Reported NO Guns or Gun Fire During Tumult of Aug 12, 2017 in Charlottesville
Gov McAuliffe claimed that the Virginia State Police were out gunned by the conservative protesters. Therefore, the police were hesitant to break up their violent conflict with leftists, Antifa Group. He said there were weapons caches hidden around the city [false].

There Were No Weapons Caches Hidden
in Charlottesville -- ijr.com
8-18-17, VA State Police Corinne Geller stated that there were no weapons caches or gunfire at the Aug 12, 2017 violence. "Police were perfectly prepared for the situation and not “out gunned” as the governor made it seem. There were no shots fired or anything of that nature."

Charlottesville mayor wants new laws to empower localities, suspend gun laws because CAR killed Heather Heyer -- Wash Post
8-18-17, Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer [Democrat] called on the Virginia state legislature to convene a special session to suspend some gun laws after his city was besieged by violence during the rally protest of removing statue of Robert E. Lee on 8/12/17. He issued a lengthy, six-page statement outlining his views.

James Alex Field was carrying a "Group Vanguard America" [1] banner/shield he and the group are NOT pro President Trump. Clearly the liberal leftists should stop pairing this Charlottesville violence with Trump. Vanguard articles state this quite clearly.

Scripture for Today, 8-19-17: Plagues Fleas

The Lord said unto Moses, "Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice [fleas] throughout all the land of Egypt." Exodus 8:16

The Lord said, “I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.”
Ezekiel 5:17

Arizona USA: Fleas Carrying Black Plague
8-15-17, Forbes -- Fleas in Arizona are carrying the plague. Yes, the plague as in the "Black Death" that killed around 60% of the European population in the mid-1300s.

Should you be alarmed? Should you, um, flee Arizona? In short: no.

Finding fleas that are carrying Yersinia pestis - the plague - still occurs in different parts of the world. Since 2000 most of the larger outbreaks appear in the Middle East: Madagascar, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Algeria. 2015 had 320 reported cases worldwide, which led to 77 deaths.

Hmm, wonder if the illegal migrants are bringing them in? We're seeing an increase of TB and others:

"Before Him goes pestilence, and plague
comes after Him." Habakkuk 3:5

The Lord said:
"When they fast, I am not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather I am going to make an end of them by the sword, famine and pestilence." Jeremiah 14:12

Concern: EMP Blast Above the USA

8/18/2017

Is there anything WE can do to prepare for the very low expectation of an EMP attack?

8-18-17, I just put my extra laptop computer in a Faraday Cage [nesting box]. I have 100s of ebooks on it and also have a generator & solar battery to power it. Of course there is the possibility THEY could be fried from the EMP ... oh well, do whatcha can! I have now learned there is an easier way ... see below.

A little background:
An Electromagnetic Pulse is potential form of warfare ... an enemy of the USA could / may explode a nuke above the country knocking out all power for hundreds of miles depending on the elevation of the explosion; see map:

The technology and history of this technology is not new. The US military has dabbled in in for decades.*

While the ability of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) to inflict catastrophic damage on U.S. infrastructure has been a known fact for decades, insufficient efforts have been taken to mitigate the threat. A survey of congressional, federal, state, local, and international measures to deal with the threat reveals more complacency than action.

In 2008, under the Natl Defense Authorization Act for FY 2008, the Dept of Homeland Security was required “to coordinate efforts with the [EMP] Commission for work related to EMP attack on electricity infrastructure, and protect the USA against it.”... In August 2010 Michael Frankel, who served as executive director of the EMP Commission said that from 2001 to 2009 the commission testified that their mandate has simply languished.

A high-altitude EMP could create malfunctions of electronic control equipment over thousands of kilometers. There is not sufficient protection from such a widespread, simultaneous impact.

* Starfish Prime was a July 9, 1962 high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the USA, jointly with the Atomic Energy Commission. It was the largest nuclear test conducted in outer space and one of five conducted by the US in space. [It damaged electrical equipment and power outages in Hawaii.] More here, here and here

Anarchist Extremists: Antifa
New Jersey Homeland Security: “Antifa,” are a subset of the anarchist ... a group known as the "Antifascist Action-Nebraska." They are violent anti-government extremists who claim to be opposed to fascism, racism and law enforcement; yet they behave like fascists. Antifa groups coordinate regionally and have participated in protests in Berkeley riots opposing conservative speakers in California also in New York City and Philadelphia.

Scripture for Today, 8-18-17

8/17/2017

Does God Hear All Prayers?
“Then shall they call upon Me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning, and shall not find Me: because they have hated instruction, and received not the fear of the Lord, nor consented to My counsel, but despised all My reproof.” Proverbs 1:25-31

8-18-17, Almighty God does not hear prayers offered up to Him by people who practice false religions. Many, on a daily basis, curse is precious name, blaspheming Him then get into trouble crying out for His blessing and rescue.

“He that turns away from God's commands, even his prayer shall be abomination. Whoso causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, shall fall into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things.” Proverbs 28:9-10

“When I cry and plead, He hath shut out my prayer. …Thou hast set a cloud before thee, that our prayer may not pass through.” Lamentations 3:8, 44

“Your iniquities have divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you that He should not hear.” Isaiah 59:2

He also doesn't hear the prayers of impenitent people who once were enlightened, but now deliberately disobey His commands doing wickedly then ask for help. There is good news however:

John 9:31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, God listens to Him.
1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
