Scripture for Today, 10-31-19: Reformation, Luther & Jews

10/31/2019

Martin Luther's 1543 Treatise:
“On the Jews and Their Lies”
God cursed the disobedient Jews: “It shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.  Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine and the flocks of thy sheep. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken Me. The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until He have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it."

Deuteronomy 28:15-21
 
10-31-19, Today as we celebrate the anniversary of the ‘Reformation of October 31, 1517’ and the courageousness of Priest Martin Luther’s opposition to the Roman Catholic Church’s false teaching and the beginning of Protestanism; it’s important that we also address his horrific anti Semitic attitudes. His teachings and writings of hate towards the Jewish people later affected Hitler’s Nazis in the 20th century and the genocide perpetrated against the Jewish people. The first 400 years of Luther’s legacy must be remembered as the retelling of that story is not simply an academic exercise; it represents a commitment by Jews, Christians and all people to learn from history. As George Santayana once said: 'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.'  [1]

Luther initially believed and practiced kindness toward Jews if only for the purpose of enlightening them and opening their eyes to Christianity. He believed that Jews could be taught the true meaning of certain Hebrew Bible verses prophesying Jesus’ life, messianic mandate and New Covenant to lead them to their Messiah. However, this view didn’t last as he became frustrated by Jewish steadfastness in their old traditions. In Luther’s later years he penned anti-Jewish rants and his treatis: “On the Jews and Their Lies” (1543) he wrote:

“And so, dear Christian, beware of the Jews . . . you can see how God’s wrath has consigned them to the Devil, who has robbed them not only of a proper understanding of the Scriptures, but also of common human reason, modesty and sense. . . . Thus, when you see a real Jew you may with a good conscience cross yourself, and boldly say, 'There goes the Devil incarnate'.”

Worse yet as his rage, religious and political power increased they were accompanied by burning or razing synagogues, destroying Jewish homes, confiscating holy books, banning their religious worship, expropriating their money and deporting them. Unfortunately, Luther’s prolific output, his mastery of the media unleashed by Gutenberg and the printing press [1445 AD] and a founder of a religious movement that would have many offshoots ... guaranteed that he would never be forgotten.

It was painfully clear that the rise of Nazism was influenced by those who appropriated and reenergized Luther’s anti-Jewish polemics. [..snip] As time passed Lutherans found a way to help Christians and Jews acknowledge and move beyond “Luther’s anti-Judaic diatribe” and its utilization as “a source for Nazi anti-Semitism.” It’s somewhat easy to understand Martin Luther’s animosity toward the Jews considering so much in scripture about their disobedience to God. [Deuteronomy 28:15-21; Matthew 23:37; Luke 13:34]

Sad that he missed the part in the New Testament of Jesus’ commission and mandate for His followers to continue loving and reaching out to the lost. [Luke 6:32-38, Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8]

​In the current world 2019, the Jews in Israel appreciate Christians; Prime Minister Netanyahu quote:

“When I say we have no greater friends than Christian supporters of Israel, I know you’ve always stood with us. You stand with us because you stand with yourselves because we represent that common heritage of freedom that goes back thousands of years.” [Acts 17:11]

UN Nations Support Jew Killers in Israel
Called 'Palestinian Refugees'
When in reality they are Arab/Muslim Invaders

The Palestinian Authority [Muslims in Israel] openly pays salaries to every Islamic terrorist who murdered Jews as an act of jihad [Islamic war]. 
In newly released documents, the Palestinian Authority admits that in the first 5 months of 2019, it paid over $65 million in salaries to those terrorists. In calendar year 2018, the Trump Administration has significantly cut funding for the Israeli killing Muslims including $231.532 million economic assistance and $424.3 million to UNRWA.


YET! ...
EU pledges €42.5 million in aid for Muslims [aka Palestinians] in Israel
The aid comes after the US decision to withhold millions in funding from the UN agency that supports Muslims in Israel who overtly proclaim hatred and ill intentions toward Jews in the Jewish State of Israel. The European Union supports "Palestinians" although the Muslims refuse to talk peace with Israel. Since the USA halted aid; Germany funding for Palestinians along with 11 other nations delivering their funds early.

Austin, Texas: School District Mandates Teaching 5th & 6th Grade Kids How to Have Anal & Oral Sex
Sadly, around the USA the sex and gender revolutionaries have already commandeered a number of public schools. Instead of teaching our kids "READING, WRITING & ARITHMETIC" they're trying to convince little boys that they are really little girls and vice versa.
***

​Jesus said: "From the beginning of creation God made them male & female." "A man shall leave his father & mother and cleave to his wife"

Picture
Mark 10:5; Matthew 19:5-6, 8

​10-29-19, CBN.com -- The sex and gender revolutionaries have officially taken over the Austin Independent School District. The Austin Texas district’s trustees recently voted to implement a pornographic sex education policy that includes instruction on anal sex and how to place a condom on an erect male organ.

Parents will not be “mandated” to send their children to instructional sessions and parents can opt their children out of “one, several, or all lessons,” according to Michele Rusnak, health and physical education supervisor for Austin ISD.

The father of a fifth-grader demanded to know who gave the school district the right to teach his child how to have anal and oral sex. The dad said: “Who gave you the right? You have overstepped!” 

To force this kind of pornography on school children is nothing more than government-sanctioned child abuse. The district’s policy is all about grooming children for sex. As one parent declared, “The curriculum is an attack on Christianity and family and on parental rights.”

More than 100 citizens spoke at Monday night’s district meeting and the overwhelming majority were opposed to the policy. [..snip]
Picture
Picture
Students in grade school and middle school will also be taught how to get an abortion or obtain birth control pills without parental permission or consent.

The school district will also begin instructing students to no longer use words like “mother” or “father.” ... “Use gender-inclusive language. It is important to avoid terms which refer to only ‘male’ or ‘female’ identities when speaking with young children as this can limit their understanding of gender into binaries and can exclude children who may not identify within these identities.”

The district’s curriculum recommends “integrating” words like
parents or guardians instead of mom or dad. [Genesis 1:27; 5:2' Malachi 2:15]

There’s really no polite way to say this, folks. But if freedom-loving, church-going patriots do not reclaim our public schools – we will lose the Republic.

Scripture for Today, 10-29-19: God Laughs At Wicked

10/29/2019

Godly Derision and Wrath
“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.”

Psalm 2:4-5

10-22-19, John D. Morris, PhD -- What does an individual gain by opposing God and His plan? Can human opposition succeed against the Almighty One who created the universe? Obviously, no rebellion has a chance to succeed. God’s sovereign control will certainly overpower man’s feeble attempts to wrest command from Him. He will simply laugh in derision [contemptuous ridicule].

However difficult it is for us to imagine God laughing in this manner, we can surely understand His derision at the futility of created beings confronting their Creator and His right to rule over their lives. [Isaiah 46:9] The name used for God is Lord, meaning Master. As Creator He has the authority to set the rules for His creation and the power to exact the penalty for breaking the rules. [Joel 2:27]

Note that His response exceeds mere derision. It extends to “wrath.” At the appointed time, the sovereign Judge will address all those who have rebelled against and opposed Him. [Leviticuus 5:17]

Man has no right to question God’s authority or goodness in exercising it. Indeed, “the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) His love for sinful mankind caused Him to even sacrifice His only begotten Son to pay the just penalty for sin. [Hebrews 2:2] What more could He do? {Romans 5:8]

With our sin penalty fully paid, our sin is forgiven and we gratefully acknowledge His kingship over our lives. Once submitted to Him, we face everlasting fellowship with Him. With sin banished, believers need never fear His derision or wrath as do the unbelievers. ​[Psalm 37:8-13] Source

Importing both sides of Middle East gang wars into OUR communities
​10-24-19, Daniel Horowitz -- America has been importing both sides of pre-existing gang wars from half way around the world from the Middle Eastern nations in Africa and Somalia. All those who are promoting mass migration and refugee resettlement from every war-torn Middle Eastern country don’t want you to study what has already happened in Europe with their mass migration of Muslims who are mostly military aged men. Imagine building a beautiful community somewhere in the suburbs of an American city and then having a handful of neighbors use your homeowner’s association dues to bring in scores of violent gang members "Bloods and Crips" in from downtown. Well, on the national and international levels, that is what the elites have done to taxpayers by bringing in so many security problems from the Middle East without the input of local communities.

Public Being Duped Into Accepting Identity Implant in Guise of Vaccination

 
10-23-19, * --  The public is being primed for an eventual mandate of microchip vaccinations, which will be required for every individual in order to buy and sell goods. Chowdhury openly admitted this in stating that digital identity systems will be necessary for “individuals’ access to services and livelihoods” just like it says in the Holy Bible: Revelation 13:17. The global identification system will eventually be required for people to ultimately survive. Without these microchips in their bodies, people won’t be able to work, let alone eat, and it’s all happening right before our very eyes. Keep in mind that ID2020 is a part of the so-called “REAL ID,” which will soon be required for those who wish to travel. REAL ID will also be used as a backdoor method of implementing mandatory vaccination policies for adults.

Vaccines Now Being Used To Harvest Biometric Identities of the World's Populations
10-27-19, SGTReport.com -- Big Pharma is officially partnering with the tech industry to pair “immunization” with digital biometrics … humans will soon be micro-chipped and tracked. The ID2020 Alliance [1], as its being called, is a digital identity program aiming to “leverage immunization” as a means of inserting tiny microchips into people’s bodies. Similar to how cattle are marked with ear tags, this globalist alliance wants all humans to be “vaccinated” with digital tracking chips that will create a seamless monitoring system for the New World Order to manage the world’s population. While the ID2020 program’s testing grounds are primarily in the Third World, the group says it’s also now working with governments here in the United States to start microchipping people through vaccination. In Austin, Texas, for example, the homeless population is now being exploited as a collective guinea pig for ID2020’s microchip vaccination program, which the group claims will help to “empower” homeless people by supposedly giving them “control” over their personal identity data.

CEO Seth Berkley and new partners in government, academia and humanitarian relief says that 89 percent of children and adolescents who do not have identification live in countries where the organization is active. A partnership was also formed earlier this year between Gavi, NEC, and Simprints to use biometrics to improve vaccine coverage in developing nations. ID2020 Executive Director Dakota Gruener announced new partnerships and provided progress reports on initiatives launched in 2018’s summit that has been joined by the City of Austin, Texas, UC Berkeley’s CITRIS Policy Lab, California and Care USA. They’re working together with homeless people and the service providers who engage with them to develop a block chain-enabled digital identity platform called MyPass to empower homeless people with their own identity data. A pair of inaugural pilot programs launched last year in partnership with iRespond and Everest have each made progress that have improved continuity of care for more than 3,000 refugees. The Thailand refugees have received treatment for chronic conditions from the International Rescue Committee while Everest has assisted with the provision of access to critical energy subsidies and a range of additional services with secure and user-centric digital identities without relying on a smartphone.

"Chaos & Disorder"
"God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."

1 Corinthians 14:33; John 14:27; Proverbs 25:28; Proverbs 11:14

10-27-19, John Haller's prophecy update this week is about the world's chaos ... God is not the author of confusion, yet chaos and disorder have become a worldwide epidemic; that's the goal of the adversary. He continues to deceive and mislead with increasing frequency. Current horrific events:
  • in Dallas Texas a "jury of peers" ruled that it is ok to chemically castrate a 7 year old boy to transition him to a girl, to the utter insanity of the left making LGBTQ rights a priority in their campaign
  • people are so busy trying to sort through the muck, they have become detached from the Word of God and the promises contained therein.  Less people are Chrisian in the USA...
Do not lose faith God will fulfill all that He has promised, but all in His timing. All we can do in the meantime is stand fast on the truth and not become faint of heart. For the world hates us not because of us, but because of the One who gave it all to reconcile us to the Father.

Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God Who Takes Away Mankind's Sin
He is also the King - the Lion of Judah!

Genesis 49:9-10; John 1:29; Revelation 5:5
​***
'Soldiers of the Lion!'

Lyrics, Chuck GirardThe field is white and frosty, the hour is drawing near

The battle lines are being drawn as the hour of dawn appears
In the stillness of the morning, the air is crisp and charged
With the tension of the battle, and the enemy at large
The battlefield is crowded, but the soldiers here are few
Yet the enemy is held at bay, no weapon can get through
Our tiny band of warriors continue in our stand
And as new soldiers join us, we prepare to take the land

We form a line of conquest, like fire our armor shines
With unshakable advancement, we move against the lines
Our swords are drawn and ready, and our numbers grow each day
We'll soon be fully strengthened and we'll blow the troops away!

Chorus:
We're the soldiers of the Lion, we're the army of the light
The unstoppable battalion that drives away the night
And the Lion is our standard, and we know we cannot die
'Cause the mighty name of Jesus is our sovereign battle Cry!


We move against the forces of the father of all lies
And the enemy is forced to flee before our very eyes
For no demon can resist us or begin to stand against
An army fully armored, no! Hell has no defense!
So look out powers of darkness, your hour has finally come
Our commander's name is Jesus, and we've got you on the run
​
And we'll charge you and we'll route you
With the Spirit's mighty sword
You've had this planet long enough,
You know you're not our Lord!
So get back to outer darkness, and you leave the saints alone
Your weapons cannot prosper, we're commissioned by the
Throne!

Scripture for Today, 10-26-19: Common Sense

10/26/2019

OBITUARY:
The Passing of Common Sense
"To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. v21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion"

Proverbs 1:4, 3:21, 8:5-12

What does the Bible say about common sense?
Common sense is sound judgment in practical matters. In Proverbs 8:5 speaks of the need to develop “common sense,” which other translations simply call "discernment," “prudence” or “discretion.”

10-26-19, Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
Picture
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as [Proverbs 28:10-12]:
  • knowing when to come in out of the rain,
  • why the early bird gets the worm,
  • life isn't always fair,
  • maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies:

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned, but overbearing, regulations were set in place:
  • Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate
  • teenagers suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch
  • and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
  • when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they had themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
  • when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin, sun lotion ...but could not inform the parents when a pupil became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as:
  • the Ten Commandments became contraband,
  • churches became businesses
  • and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home, but the burglar could sue you for assault because you protected yourself and family.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot; she spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by:
  • his parents, Truth and Trust,
  • his wife, Discretion,
  • his daughter, Responsibility
  • his son, Reason.
He is survived by three stepbrothers:
  1. I Know My Rights,
  2. Someone Else is to Blame,
  3. I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized that he was gone.

Fake Narrative About Kurds Explained

10/26/2019

Truths About ​Islamic Syria, Kurds & Turkey
Like President Trump said,
"Kurds are 'no angels." 

10-25-19, * -- In the midst of the bloody war in Syria we see that in 2012 the mostly Islamic Kurdish people took advantage of the chaos claiming control over northern Syria establishing a so-called “government:”
  • Led by the Kurdish Democratic Union Party  [PYD]
  • Armed force is the People’s Protection Units [YPG] The Syrian Democratic Forces in northern Syria, which much of the media hails as “America’s greatest ally in the region” is also led by the YPG
  • the YPG is a Syrian wing of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party [PKK]
 
For years, and particularly since US president Donald Trump declared the US would withdraw its troops from Syria, a major media campaign of propaganda and disinformation has been launched. The following explains the lies the mainstream media has been spreading and explains the truths:
 
Kurds constitute a minority in northern Syria: After the 1925 Sheikh Said revolt in eastern Turkey, Kurds started moving into established cities in Syria historically called “Rojava” (“Western Kurdistan”) was invented in recent years by PKK Kurdish nationalists attempting to distort the history of the region & attribute a new Kurdish identity to it; erasing the true cultural heritage of the land. Propaganda and false claims that the majority of northern Syria is Kurdish and that the region is called “Western Kurdistan” or “Rojava” are factually incorrect.
Picture
Picture
Not only do Kurds in Syria constitute a minority there, they didn't have an area under their control that was contiguous to each other. There are Arabs between the cities of Afrin and Qamishli, which were under Kurdish control until the Turkish invasion. Similarly, between Kobane and Qamishli are Arabs. The truth is the majority of the population in northern Syria is not Kurdish; the region is not “Kurdistan” at all - it is Syria.
  • 90 percent of Ras al-Ayn is Arab - Kurds invaded Ras al-Ayn an ancient Assyrian town named Rish Ayno; but the YPG-led Kurds today call it “Sere Kaniye.” So even when Kurds did not establish a legally-recognized government in Syria, they started Kurdifying the names of the towns. This shows how much they disrespect and degrade the ancient heritage of northern Syria.
  • 70 percent of Tell Abyad is also Arab
  • And 95 percent of Raqqa is Arab
So Kurds have occupied Arab land in Syria and call it “Kurdistan;” that’s why, most residents in those cities in Syria do not support the Kurdish rule there.
 
Another falsehood spread by the PKK and much of the mainstream media is that “Kurds have defeated ISIS.” The truth is that the biggest role in the defeat of ISIS was played by the Iraqi government, the Syrian government and the people’s armed initiatives that support these governments. The Syrian government actually defeated ISIS in vast areas such as Aleppo, Hums, across the Jordanian border, Daraa, Quneitra, Sadad, Al-Qaryatayn, the city of Deir ez-Zor, Eastern Ghouta, Maloula, al-Qusayr, the region of Qalamun and Palmyra among others.

The media‘s only focus’ was on the liberation of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor, where the Kurdish YPG fought against ISIS claiming they defeated ISIS. However, by the same logic - because the Turkish military and its Islamist allies removed ISIS from the Syrian cities of Al-Bab, Azaz and Jarabulus - why not say the Turkish military defeated ISIS? Of course they didn't as, for many years, Turkey is known to have aided and abetted ISIS, al-Qaeda and other radical Islamic terrorists.
 
Most Assyrians in Syria do not want the oppressive PYD Kurdish rule there. The Kurds seized their lands or properties and persecuted them - examples follow:
  • On August 28, 2018 militiamen belonging to the Kurdish PYD entered private Assyrian schools in Qamishli and expelled all administrators and teachers. Here
  • On September 3, 2018, Kurdish PYD went to the house of Nidal Rahawi, an Assyrian artist in the city of Qamishi to kill him because he was critical of the PYD regime - he escaped. Here
  • On September 30, 2018, the Kurdish PYD arrested prominent Assyrian journalist and Qamishli resident Souleman Yusph. His possessions, including his laptop and various documents, were seized by the Kurdish authorities. Here
  • During the Turkish invasion of Syria in 2016 , Kurdish YPG members in civilian clothes threw mortars from a park in Qamishli to Nusaybin, a town in southeast Turkey, which killed Kurdish civilians there. Apparently, their aim was to provoke the Turkish army to attack Qamishli and other Syrian towns that have sizeable Christian communities and kill Christians there to make the world condemn and attack Turkey. Here
  • The YPG attacked Nusaybin from a place near the Mor Circis Church in Qamishli, to which Turks responded, and as a result, Christian Assyrian man, Fadi Habsuno, and his wife, Juliette Issa Nicholas, got injured and hospitalized. Clarion more here​

Picture
The PYD does not represent the will of Assyrians in Syria; it’s not a true ally of Assyrians either in Syria or in the Diaspora. Both the Kurdish PKK/YPG and Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan engage in propaganda, trying to portray themselves as “protectors of Christians;”  but they both are persecutors of Christians.
 
Although these facts are obvious, the YPG/PKK and much of the international media spread many falsehoods in an attempt to confuse the public and distort historical and current realities. This appears to be one of the greatest and most alarming disinformation campaigns by the media in history.

Pres Trump & Halting $$ to Baby Killer Clinics

10/26/2019

To the Extensive List of Accomplishments By President Trump, Add Halting Taxpayer Money to Kill Babies in 876 Abortion Mills - Killers lost $60 million in funding
​Money Will Go to Legitimate Family & Women's Health Service Organizations as originally planned by Title X Legislation

800+ Abortion Clinics Have Lost Taxpayer Funding Thanks to President Trump
​
10-25-19, LifeNews -- Power to Decide, a pro-choice organization that works to prevent unplanned pregnancies, says in a new report that 876 clinics across the country have lost funding. In May 2019, the Trump administration published a new proposal for Title X that would prohibit Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses from receiving any tax dollars unless they completely separate their abortion businesses from their taxpayer-funded services; if they fail to house health, family planning services in separate buildings with separate staff from their baby killing abortion businesses they would not qualify for federal taxpayer funds. Eventually Planned Parenthood and other abortion mills left the Title X program and gave up $60 million of taxpayer dollars. See report here

​
Picture
National Right to Life president Carol Tobias praised President Trump noting that the decision doesn’t adversely affect women’s health because the federal funds will go to legitimate family planning organizations that don't kill babies. She said: “We thank President Trump and Health & Human Services Secretary Azar for their numerous actions to restore pro-life policies. We are encouraged to see the announcement of Title X regulations that are back in line with previous policy that prevents federal dollars from being used to directly or indirectly promote abortion domestically.”
During the Reagan Administration, regulations were issued, with National Right to Life’s strong support, to restore the original character of Title X by prohibiting referral for abortion except in life endangering circumstances. Additionally, abortion facilities could not generally share the same location with a Title X site. However, the Clinton Administration reversed these regulations.
A recent Marist poll found that, by a double-digit margin, a majority of all Americans oppose any taxpayer funding of abortion (54 percent to 39 percent).

Republican Rino's Furious After Trump Vetoes Anti-Border Wall Bill
10-20-19, Conservative-daily.com -- President Trump vetoed the GOP's legislation S.J.Res. 54 [bill designed to strip all funding from the border wall project and cancel Trump's national emergency]. Well, the Senate held a vote to try to override Trump's veto and they fell short. During the veto override vote, 10 Republicans decided to side with the Left: Blunt (MO), Collins (ME), Lee (UT), Romney (UT), Murkowski (AK), Paul (KY), Portman (OH), Rubio (FL), Toomey (PA) & Wicker (MS)…​
However, while all of this was happening, Pres Trump did something remarkable by authorizing $200 million more in Pentagon funds to be redirected to the wall project. Over 129 million comes from a Military program designed to combat the drug trade in Afghanistan! This is what it means to put America First. 
The GOP was absolutely furious. These turncoat Senators immediately started calling the White House and ordering Trump to stand down; but the President is not budging... more here ​

Historic Midwest USA Blizzard Has Farmers 'Expecting Massive Crop Losses as Devastating as We've Ever Seen'

No Dakota Asks For Federal Help Following Heavy Early Snowstorm before Harvest
​
10-20-19, BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum will ask for federal help in dealing with the widespread flooding that occurred in the aftermath of heavy snow that fell last week. The storm dropped more than 2 feet (60 centimeters) of snow in central and eastern parts of the state. The early blanket of snow closed major highways and flattened unharvested crops.As the snow started to melt, widespread flooding hit large swathes of the state, leading to flood emergency declarations in eight counties and four cities. The governor said:
“We don’t know what the losses are.”​ 
***
​
Charisma News, Michael Snyder Reports:
10-15-19, * -- Nobody is sure exactly what is coming next, but since we all have to eat, the truth is that every man, woman and child in America should be deeply concerned about what just happened. An unprecedented October 2019 blizzard just hit before harvest time; it absolutely devastated farms all across the U.S. heartland.
 
North Dakota spokesman said the crop losses will be "as devastating as we've ever seen. Due to endless rain and horrific flooding early in the year, many farmers in the middle of the country faced very serious delays in getting their crops planted. The good weather needed at the end of the season to allow the crops to mature to harvest … did not happen. Instead, the historic blizzard dumped up to 2 feet of snow on the very valuable food crops from Colorado to Minnesota. North Dakota actually got 30 inches of snow. Historically, this is one of the worst crop disasters that the Midwest has ever seen and ultimately will affect us all: according to the USDA as of Oct 6, 2019 very low harvest numbers of corn, soybeans, potatoes and other agricultural crops - unharvested wheat expected to be a total loss.
 
Ted Kreis, Northern Potato Growers Assoc said: "It's pretty bleak. As of Sunday, Oct. 6, 2019 45% of North Dakota's potato crop had been harvested, last year, 73% of the state's potato fields had been harvested by that day.
 
Needless to say, food prices are going to go up. If you are wealthy not needing to worry about food prices, then good for you; but if you are like most of the country ... this is going to hurt. We're talking about complete and utter devastation in this year’s crop; this disaster will have a ripple effect for years to come. I very much encourage you to stock up and get prepared.

UK & USA Abuse of Julian Assange

10/25/2019

Travesty of Justice on Many Levels
​Treatment of Journalist, Julian Assange

Picture
***
EDITORIAL: UK Don’t Railroad Julian Assange to Virginia USA!

***
The charge against Julian Assange is very specific; conspiring with Chelsea Manning to publish the Iraq & Afghanistan war logs and cables. They've nothing to do with: Sweden, Sex, Or 2016 Presidential election

THIS IS GOVERNMENTAL ABUSE OF POWER! 

 
10-22-19, ConsortiumNews.com -- If this were a normal legal case, WikiLeaks’ lawyers would almost certainly be able to get the extradition request by the United States for their client journalist Julian Assange thrown out on the grounds that his privileged conversations with his lawyers at Ecuador’s London embassy were secretly videotaped.The  very nation that wants him extradited to stand trial in Virginia has obtained access to those videos. In a normal extradition case it would be hard to imagine Britain sending a suspect to a country whose government has already eavesdropped on that suspect’s defense preparations.

But this is not a normal legal case. 
On Monday 10-21-19, Julian Assange said as he appeared before a UK judge in magistrate’s court in London: “I don’t understand how this is equitable. This superpower [USA] had 10 years to prepare for this case and I can’t access my writings. It’s very difficult where I am to do anything but these people have unlimited resources…They are saying journalists and whistleblowers are enemies of the people. They have unfair advantages dealing with documents. They [know] the interior of my life with my psychologist” [the CIA presumably obtained videos of those conversations as well.  Assange was then packed off in a van back to his dreary cell at Belmarsh prison.]

The existence of Section E of the 1917 Espionage Act, which technically incriminates the unauthorized possession and dissemination of U.S. classified material by anyone, anywhere in the world, effectively criminalizes investigative journalism and is a travesty that must be challenged on First Amendment grounds. And now a defendant’s rights to a fair trial here in Virginia have been seriously undermined, indeed practically nullified, after Julian's conversations with his attorneys came into the possession of the government that wants to prosecute him. 

But this is not about justice. This is about revenge.
No case better illustrates how those powerful interests are protected by the legal system in punishing the man who did the most to expose their crimes to the public, a public rendered apathetic by an Establishment media that distracts them and presents Assange as an enemy of the people. If both US & UK governments care - in the very least - about maintaining an appearance of following the rule of law, it has this opportunity:

Let Julian Assange go.

​Who’ll blink first – Boris Johnson or the EU?
8-1-19, Spectator -- UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson opponents — both inside and outside his party — are convinced that his ‘do or die’ pledge to have the UK out of the EU by October 31, 2019 would be his greatest vulnerability. ‘We’ll make him miss this deadline,’ they thought, ‘and his credibility will be shot.’ Brexit party voters would write him off as another blusterer from a Tory party unable to deliver.  It’s still possible that the EU will tire of this drama and refuse to grant the UK an extension to membership... that would likely be seen by the EU as interfering too much in UK politics. So parliament would have to agree a new timetable for ratification, or stagger on until the balance of power collapses and a general election is called.

The EU then canceled a scheduled meeting as they do not believe the PM’s latest proposal is an alternative solution...

Scripture For Today, 10-24-19: Evil Won't Last

10/24/2019

This Evil Will Not Last Forever
"Oh God, Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest Thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest Thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?"

Picture
Habakkuk 1:13; Jeremiah 12:1; Psalm 34:16

10-24-19, * -- In the current world we seem to lurch from tragedy to tragedy, shooting to shooting, bombing to bombing. We think, “It’s not fair.” Why do drug peddlers get rich? Sex offenders get off? Charlatans get elected? Murderers get out? Cheaters get ahead? Scoundrels and hyporites get chosen? How long will injustice flourish?

God’s answer is direct although not as we might think:
“For [God] has set a day when He will judge the world.” Acts 17:31
​
The Lord isn’t idly sitting twiddling His thumbs. Every flip of the calendar brings us closer to the day in which God will judge all evil. A Judgment Day has been chosen; the hour is marked and moment reserved. Judgment is not just a possibility, but a stark reality. [Psalm 89:14; Proverbs 1:22-28]

We disdain judgment, but we value justice, yet the second is impossible without the first. God’s word tells us: “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10)

Followers of the Lord Jesus Christ know He will forever balance the scales of fairness. A day is coming, sooner than we might expect, when we will see the devil pay for all the evil he has inflicted upon the world. Satan, and all who follow him, will hear the sentence:

“Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Matthew 25:41

Almighty God’s Righteous Justice Will Prevail
Some people feel - and rightly so - that they’ve been robbed; evil people have pilfered days they would have had with their loved ones, disease has sapped health from some. I’m one of these people. My brother was robbed. Alcoholism heisted the joy out of his life as he battled the ‘mocker strong drink’ [Proverbs 20:1]. It cost him his family, finances and friends. He was not innocent, I get that. He bought the liquor and made the choices. Yet, I am convinced that Satan assigned a special goon squad to tempt him. When his weakness was discovered the wicked took him to the mat and pounded the self-control out of him. This is true for many who have been afflicted with homosexuality and other lusts of the flesh. [Galatians 5:16-17]

Picture
Sadly, wicked devastations have wounded many a home. Recently one of our church members spent two years in prison for a crime he did not commit with the guilty party going free. It’s not right, it’s not just and it’s not fair. I’m ready to see Satan and all his faithful pay for their crimes; and someday we'll see them chained and cast into a lake of fire. [Revelation 20:10-15]

When you wonder if wickedness will go unpunished or injustices go unaddressed … let this promise sooth you: God has a book and He is keeping a record about each of us. [Revelation 21:27] There will be a judgment day.
​
“God is a just Judge and is angry with the wicked everyday.” Psalm 7:8-11

List of Thirteen
Nations ​in Upheaval:


Picture

  1. France -  the "yellow vest" protests in Paris and after 48 consecutive weeks demonstrators show no signs of slowing down they are protesting:
    1. Global Climate Strike in September (and their anarchist counterparts, the "black bloc" protesters) turned violent, and were met with around 7,500 police to control them.
    2. Rising fuel taxes
    3. Firefighters protest working conditions, and were met with tear gas from French police. They are asking for better pay and benefits, as well as professional respect. They protested over the wake of the rising suicide rate among French officers, which many attribute to the strain of containing the "yellow vest" protests. In 2018, 35 officers committed suicide in France. In 2019 so far, that number grew to 49.
    4. Farmers held a second mass demonstration recently following an October 8, 2019 demonstration that filled major French highways with over 10,000 protesters.
  2. Indonesia -  A criminal code change led to protests against outlawing sex outside of marriage and set a jail sentence of six months for unmarried couples living together. It would outlaw abortion except in cases of rape and incest, effectively banning gay and lesbian relations, restrict free speech by strengthening laws on blasphemy and treason and making it a crime to insult the president.
  3. Netherlands -  Oct 1, 2019 Dutch police closed off The Hague's central parliament square to as thousands of protesting farmers on tractors clogged the highway — the third such recent protest. They came to protest claims from members of Dutch parliament that agriculture was responsible for high nitrogen emissions, and that some cattle farms should be shut down. The farmers, in turn, said that the aviation industry was responsible for high emissions.
  4. Hong Kong's ongoing mass protests are calls for politicians to change their policies.
  5. Peru – miners are blocking entrance to copper mines. The Peruvian government authorized armed intervention last week to unblock a protested copper mine. The mining protests come on the heels of larger protests over Peru's president, Martin Vizcarra, who dissolved the country's congress. In response, the lawmakers attempted to have Vizcarra removed, naming Vice President Mercedes Araoz to become president … Vizcarra remains president leading to more  protests.
  6. Haiti – On Sept 25, 2019 protesters called for the resignation of President Jovenel Moise. The nation is also suffering with food, oil, and power shortages. This current round of protests began in July 2018 when Pres Moise ended fuel subsidies and has been accused of corruption over management of a Venezuelan oil subsidy program. Reportedly 30 protesters have died – 15 were killed by police.
  7. Lebanon – September 2019 citizens by hundreds of thousands protesting government corruption and worsening economic conditions. In October, protests continued after the government proposed a tax on WhatsApp messages. The demonstrations turned violent after police used tear gas. Lebanon has one of the highest debt ratios in the world, and despite heavy investment, a myriad of infrastructure issues.
  8. Syria - there have been a number of protests following US troop removal.
  9. Israel – Arabs protest ongoing as they want …
  10. Chile – protests began in early October 2019 after the government raised subway fare, spurring high school students to jump turnstiles and form a social media movement. Protests turned violent: After citizens vandalized stations and broke train windows, the Chilean president Sebastián Piñera declared a state of emergency and suspended the subway. The people are also protesting inequality, stagnant wages and rising oil prices.
  11. Brazil - Thousands protest against Bolsonaro's education plan denouncing decision to cut $87m from budget for school textbooks they also protest the Amazon forest fires.
  12. United States of America - People are not massing in protest .... but the liberal leftist Democrat leaders are impeding the progress of the nation while they continue their march to remove the duly legally elected President Donald John Trump. They have done nothing else for almost 3 years and the people are sick of it! More here from Business Insider
  13. United Kingdom - Since June 2016 the people of Britain voted by 51.9% to leave the European Union (EU) called 'Brexit' the politicians have been haggling over it. Will the EU tire of this drama and refuse to grant the UK an extension as it's been ongoing for years. So Britain's parliament would have to agree a new timetable for ratification, or stagger on until the balance of power collapses and a general election is called.
