 Russia - Ukraine - France Talks |
Macron Holds Meeting |  |
8-20-19, Express.Co.Uk – On Aug 19, 2019, Pres Macron & Pres Putin met at Macron's official holiday island residence in Fort Bregançon in southern France. The French leader is keen to show Moscow it’s not ostracized despite being kicked out of the G7 after its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. However, at the press conference as they took questions the Russian President was quick to dismiss the importance of the G7's existence - President Putin said:
“Now on G7? Well, there is no G7. How can we go back to an organization that doesn’t exist? Today is G7, but we cannot go back to G8 because G8 doesn’t exist. There is no G8. But we never say no. It was Russia’s turn to host the G8 and our partners didn’t come. Well, they are welcome anytime. Please, even as G7. But there are other international institutions that play a significant role in international affairs. Take the G20. You have big economic powerhouses like China, India and many others. They count for almost 90 percent of the global economy so we really value these full format platforms. And that’s why we actively cooperate.”
The French President appeared to be cringing at the obvious dig launched by the Russian leader over his exclusion to the international forum.
It's claimed that Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed forces have killed around 13,000 people since 2014. …Russia denies the accusation saying that Ukraine is not honoring commitments under the ceasefire agreement.
One French spokesperson said that “Pres Macron's decision to invite the Russian leader was a very useful attempt to get France, and possibly even Europe, out of an impasse and to end a sterile war of opposing positions that’s been going on for years."
Pres Putin’s visit came days before world leaders, including US Pres Trump and the new UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, gather for the August 24-26, 2019 Group of Seven (G7) summit in the southwestern French town of Biarritz. More here

8-11-19, Express.Co.Uk -- EUROPE is preparing for a shock 7.0-magnitude earthquake, amid concerns that a doomsday mega-quake could unleash a tsunami into Mediterranean with just 15 minutes warning. On average, a severe tsunami hits the Mediterranean Sea once a century; and Israel’s coastline suffers one on average every 250 years.
Ten nations' navies carried out a surprise four-day 'Mighty Waves' drill intended to prepare the countries for a earthquake-tsunami disaster. Forces from Israel, US, France and Greece took part in the doomsday drills in Israel's Haifa port that responded to a simulated 7.0-magnitude earthquake.

The Damage and Affects of Volcanic Ash
Sun, Moon Darkened; Mountains Moved
The Apostle John saw: "the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. v20 And every island fled away and the mountains were not found."
Revelation 6:14, 12:6, 16:20; Luke 21:25-26
Earthquakes and eruptions go hand in hand
8-12-19, As we attempt to understand and interpret almighty God's mysteries of the end time events; we can logically conclude that the darkening of the moon & sun are being caused by volcanic ash. The world currently has over 50 active volcanoes.
Volcanic ash particles of igneous rock is blown into the air by an erupting volcano. The ash column produced by the eruption of Mount St. Helens Volcano in Washington State USA lifted over 70,000+ feet into space.

In less than ten minutes the St Helen's eruption, the explosive release of hot volcanic gases and ash to an altitude of 22 kilometers [72,178.5 feet]. The volcano is located in the Cascade Range and is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire that includes over 160 volcanoes. Mount St. Helens is most notorious for its major eruption on May 18, 1980, the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in U.S. history. Fifty-seven people were killed; 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed. Then, strong prevailing winds carried the ash to the east at about 100 kilometers per hour. In less than four hours, ash was falling on the city of Spokane about 400 kilometers away from the vent. Two weeks later dust from the eruption had been carried around the Earth. More here

Lessons for America From India's War Against Muslim Illegal Migrants

India’s 2,582 mile border with Bangladesh is even longer than America’s 1,954 mile border with Mexico
India is fencing off its border with Bangladesh. What will that mean for ...
12-20-10, An 8-foot-high, double-walled, barbed-wire fence menaces the border between Sutia, India and Dhannokulla, Bangladesh.
***
8-1-19, * -- India and Bangladesh are divided not only by a border, but by religion. India has an 80% Hindu majority and a rising 13% Muslim minority. Bangladesh has a 90% Muslim majority. And the tide of Muslim migration from Bangladesh to India is rising.
India has spent decades building fences, topping them with barbed wire, and installing lights. The lights are there so that the guards can see. Unlike America, there are guards, they have guns and they shoot.
What makes America’s border different from those of so many other nations isn’t the lack of fencing. Smugglers, traffickers and assorted criminals can often find weak points in any security setup. In most countries, the defense of the border is seen as a national security issue backed by real firepower.
America’s Border Patrol has less than 20,000 people; India’s Border Security Force has 257,363 people. It’s a paramilitary organization with an intelligence network, ten artillery units, air and marine wings, canine and even camel units. And India's guard's weapons aren’t just there for show.
In over a decade over 1,000 illegal infiltrators have been killed trying to enter India from Bangladesh.
[..snip] India’s National Register of Citizens is being used to clarify who belongs in the country and who doesn’t. Those who are unable to prove their citizenship potentially face the Foreigners’ Tribunals, courts that ask the accused to prove their citizenship. If the illegals fail to do so, they can be sent to prison and then deported. If they try to dodge the courts, the machinery of the system will move forward anyway.
India is also moving against the 40,000 strong Rohingya illegal Muslim population which have been a problem in that country, as well as in Myanmar. India is also making it clear that it will respect legitimate refugees by providing sanctuary to Hindu and Buddhist refugees fleeing Islamic violence.
There are important lessons from India's effort for the United States in our immigration challenges.
India’s Modi has been dubbed a natural counterpart to President Trump. Under Modi, the BJP understood that it had to run on migration issues to gain political sanction for a crackdown. Popular support from Indians allowed the government to ignore protests by leftist activist groups like Amnesty and Human Rights Watch, the domestic opposition and even the United Nations.
India understood that border security alone would never be enough. Not unless the illegal infiltrators were made to understand that there was no future for them even if they did make it across the border.
Building a border wall is a partial answer. But the real answer lies in using military force to secure the border, ending the processing of asylum requests, and distinguishing Americans from illegal aliens. India’s example shows that these things can be done. And if India can do them, America certainly can. That winning argument in India, is a winning argument in America.

8-6-19, Mass shootings and killings do take place in Europe. In fact, they are a worldwide phenomenon. In March 2019 New Zealand a 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant, a Trump hating liberal Australian man, walked into two Muslim Mosques killing dozens. The outrage was louder because they were Muslims - apparently Muslim blood is more valuable than any other blood?? As the world becomes more Godless; people who are entranced by violence in our electronic games/movies, as we cheapen human life now killing new born children in America's abortion mills, as we demonize our enemies and become “more atomized and desperate,” the mass shootings and the murders on the streets of our cities will continue.

In the past Russia and Iran have held joint naval exercises in the Caspian Sea. However, this is the first time that they will conduct drills around the Hormuz strait. ... Reportedly the US military build up in the Gulf is in response to an unspecified threat from Iran who has been blamed for a series of mine attacks on tankers. In July 2019 Iran seized a British-flagged tanker the Stena Impero. THEN in July Britain seized an Iranian tanker, the Grace 1, saying it suspected the ship was headed to Syria in violation of European Union sanctions. Iran called the seizure an act of piracy, and accused Britain of acting on behalf of the U.S. |  |
The ongoing threat to shipping has prompted the UK to send two warships to the Gulf, where they will join US vessels and Israel will take part in the “maritime security mission.” While European allies have not joined a formal US-led coalition, on August 5, 2019 China confirmed it might send escorts for Chinese commercial vessels “if there happens to be a very unsafe situation.” More here
Horizon of Catastrophe
World's Heathen Rage; the Lord Has Them In Derision
***
"Why do the heathen rage & the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves & the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord & against His anointed. They say: 'Let us break their bands asunder & cast away their cords from us.' He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath & vex them in His sore displeasure. Yet have I set My king upon My holy hill of Zion [Israel]. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me & I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance & the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear & rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry & ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him."

"Sweden is at War"
Two years ago Pres Trump read the poem 'THE SNAKE' - see 2.3 min video here
7-13-19, * -- According to Malmo city statistics; in 2019 the city that has appx 300,000 inhabitants, one third were "born abroad." In March, Sweden's National Forensic Center estimated that since 2012, the number of shootings in the country classified as murder or attempted murder had increased by almost 100 percent. The Centre found that the most popular weapon used in the shootings is the Kalashnikov assault rifle that is smuggled into the country.
"Plan your itinerary - know your area...try to minimize the time from when you park your bike / car until you enter [the destination]. Before leaving a building, look out first and make an assessment of the surroundings to avoid getting into an unwanted situation... keep away from people who are considered potentially threatening or dangerous and increase the distance if there are no other people nearby".
The municipal government's guidelines on safety seem appropriate for a civil war zone, such as Beirut once was, rather than for the once-peaceful city of Malmö.
Car fires, frequent and widespread, are just one of the new aspects of living in the formerly idyllic city of Lund. One university spokesperson said about car burning: "I definitely think that these are young people who have not found their place in society, who know they are not accepted. …Car fires are not just a way of showing their displeasure; but a way of showing that they are frustrated, desperate and angry."
Swedish author Björn Ranelid disagreed he wrote in Expressen: "Sweden is at war and it is the politicians who are responsible. None of these criminals is starving or lacking in access to clean water. They have a roof over their heads and they have been offered free schooling for nine or twelve years. They do not live in dilapidated houses. All of them have had a higher material standard in their homes than several thousands of the children and young people who grew up at Ellstorp in Malmö where I lived with my parents and two siblings, in 47 square meters in two small rooms and a kitchen from 1949 to 1966."
- In January 2019, a so-called unaccompanied minor from Afghanistan, Sadeq Nadir, sought to murder several people in the city by ramming into them with a stolen car. He wanted to wage jihad and become a martyr. He told the police that his intention had been to kill. The event was initially classified as an attempt at a terrorist crime, but then changed to a charge of ten attempted murders. Although Sadeq had admitted that his intention was to kill; the court argued that he had not been driving "fast enough" to cause a concrete risk of death, the court did not find that he had acted from any religious terrorist motives. He was convicted of merely causing danger to others and threatening them.
- Jun 17, 2019 - Unknown criminals set fire to 19 cars in the Östberga area of southern Stockholm. Swedish police classify neighborhood as 'vulnerable' [1] ... Neo-Nazi from near Malmö charged for praising Hitler ...The small picturesque university town of Lund, close to Malmö, has recently been suffering from extensive car fires.
- On June 30, 2019 more gang related incidents; three shootings in three different suburbs in Stockholm. Two people, one of whom had been shot in the head, died. just in Stockholm, eleven people have already been shot to death -- the same number as for all of 2018. On July 1, 2019 National Police Chief Anders Thornberg said that the situation is "extraordinarily serious". He said: "For every young man who gets shot, there are 10-15 new ones ready to step in. … Swedes will have to get used to the shootings for the foreseeable future.”
- In 2018, Sweden experienced a record number of lethal shootings, 306 in all. Forty-five people were killed and 135 injured nationwide, most deaths occurring in Region South, where Malmö is located. In the first six months of 2018 almost every other shooting took place in a "vulnerable area", also known as no-go zones.
- In 2017 it was disclosed 61 ‘no-go’ zones encompassing 200 criminal networks, consisting of an estimated 5,000 criminals; majority non-Western immigrants and their descendants. Returnees, sympathizers for Islamic terrorist groups such as the ISIS, al Qaeda and al-Shabaab, and representatives of Salafist-oriented mosques, contribute to tensions between these groups and other residents in the vulnerable areas.

All of them have had a higher material standard in their homes than several thousands of the children and young people who grew up at Ellstorp in Malmö where I lived with my parents and two siblings, in 47 square meters in two small rooms and a kitchen from 1949 to 1966."
What is the Swedish government's assessment of the violent and volatile situation? As late as June 6, 2019 on Sweden's National Day, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven remarked:
"Sweden still has serious societal problems; but even though we can think of old times as an idyll with red cottages and green meadows, very few things were better before. I think we should celebrate just that, how much we have achieved as a country. We have built a strong country, where we take care of each other. Where society takes responsibility and no man is left alone."
Sadly, many Swedes probably feel terribly left alone in a country that increasingly resembles a war zone.

THE TALLEST waterfall on earth is in South America, Venezuela's "Angel Falls" at a height of 3,212 ft and a plunge of 2,648 ft. Reportedly it's the inspiration for Paradise Falls in the Disney/Pixar movie Up! It may not be the huge shelf of water that Niagara is, but Angel Falls the most popular tourist attractions in Venezuela, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage site. US aviator Jimmie Angel discovered it in appx 1933; and subsequent explorers spent nine days climbing the slippery cliffs to measure the height. More here

Sicilians dive into sea to escape Stromboli volcano
7-3-19, NY Post - Massimo Imbesi, a 35-year-old fromMilazzo in Sicily was killed and dozens threw themselves into the sea when Mt Stromboli Volcano on the Sicilian island of Stromboli violently exploded. Two blasts reported by Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology around 10:30 a.m. were unexpected and particularly powerful sending ash/smoke 6,000 ft into the sky and lava embers of fire raining down on the popular tourist spot. Priest Giovanni Longo said: “It was like being in hell because of the rain of fire coming from the sky.” [Exodus 9:23; Revelation 8:7, 13:13??] The explosions were preceded by lava spills; as molten rocks flowed from the crater and flew into the sky.

FRANCE: Can Pres Emmanuel Macron Stem the Populist Tide?
6-24-19, The New Yorker -- France's young president is now Europe's most forceful progressive [leftist] Pres Emmanuel Macron who finished second to Ms Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party who topped the European election vote in France, dealing a blow to the pro-European Macron.
Le Pen said she was “overjoyed” and called the result a “victory for the people.” She called on Macron to dissolve the French parliament and call fresh legislative elections, something Macron’s governing centrist party brushed aside.

The U.S. Can Afford to Stay Calm with Iran
6-27-19, Victor Davis Hanson -- President Trump recently ordered and then called off a retaliatory strike against Iran for destroying a U.S. surveillance drone. The United States asserts that the drone was operating in international space. Iran claims it was in Iranian airspace.
Antiwar critics of Trump's Jacksonian rhetoric turned on a dime to blast him as a weak, vacillating leader afraid to call Iran to account. However, Trump supporters countered that the president had shown Iran a final gesture of patience — and cleared the way for a stronger retaliation should Iran foolishly interpret his one-time forbearance as a weakness to be exploited rather than as magnanimity to be reciprocated.
The charge of Trump being an appeaser was strange coming from leftist critics, especially given Trump's past readiness to bomb Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for allegedly using chemical weapons, his willingness to destroy ISIS through enhanced air strikes, and his liberation of American forces in Afghanistan from confining rules of engagement.
The truth is that Iran and the United States are now engaged in a great chess match. But the stakes are not those of intellectual gymnastics. The game is no game, for it involves the lives, and possible deaths, of thousands.
The latest American-Iranian standoff is not like that of 1979-1981, when theocratic revolutionaries removed the Shah, stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, and took American hostages for 444 days — and humiliated America. Iran fears there are now no such American liabilities. Forty years later, America has no presence in Iran. It has long since given up on bringing Tehran back into the Western fold.
There are no Americans in Iran to be kidnapped and no Iranian allies inside Iran to be saved. Iran has no leverage over the United States, at least not as it did in 1979. [..snip]
Israel has forged new ties with China, Russia, and the European Union, and renewed its traditionally close relationship with the United States. Iran's neighbors in the Arab world are either in a mess or clandestinely allied with Israel. The Palestinian Authority and Hamas have never been weaker vis-a-vis Israel.
Time is on the American side. Each day Iran grows weaker and poorer, and the U.S. stronger and richer. [..]
If Tehran preemptively attacks an American ship or plane, it will be met by a disproportionate response, preferably one aimed not at civilian infrastructure, but at the Iranian military hierarchy, the Revolutionary Guard and the theocratic elite.
Otherwise, the Trump administration can sit back and monitor Iran's international ostracism and economic isolation while remaining unpredictable and enigmatic, ready to hit back hard at any attack on Americans but without being suckered into an optional war with Iran in the perennial Middle East quagmire.

Ekrem Imamoglu Won TWICE!
6-24-19, Gatestone -- In the first Istanbul Turkey mayor's election of March 31, 2019, Imamoglu beat his rival Binali Yıldırım who was endorsed by Turkey's President Erdogan finishing by a margin of appx 13,000 votes in a city where there are 10 million registered voters.
Upon appeal from Erdogan's ruling AKP Party over alleged irregularities, the Supreme Electoral Board, consisting of judges apparently under government pressure, canceled the election result for Istanbul, thereby suspending Imamoğlu's mandate scheduling a re-run on June 23, 2019 -
Imamoglu won again by a larger margin! More here

Turkey Dictator, Erdogan's Opposition Wins Election
- Turkey sees political tension after Erdogan's opposition wins in Istanbul
6-23-19, Fox News -- Turkey: “Thank you, Istanbul,” Ekrem Imamoglu, 49, said to the tens of thousands of people who gathered to mark his victory after unofficial results showed he won a clear majority - 54 percent to 45 percent of the vote in a closely watched repeat election that ended weeks of political tension. A tense political situation may be brewing in Turkey after the opposition candidate for mayor of Istanbul won Sunday, June 23, 2019, breaking the long hold President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s party had on leading Turkey’s largest city. - Turkey: Key facts in Istanbul’s rerun election
6-23-19, Miami Herald· The repeat mayoral election in Istanbul took place because Turkey's electoral board ordered a rerun ... Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, weakened by an opposition party’s landslide victory in Istanbul’s repeat election, scrambled to reassert his standing as the country’s most dominant politician in half a century by refocusing attention on a crucial trip to Asia. Losing Istanbul was much more than ceding control of Turkey’s largest city and commercial powerhouse. The mayor’s job was the springboard for Erdogan’s own political career. If Imamoglu, 49, performs well, then the president -- Turkey’s most influential leader since the modern republic’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk -- may find himself with a future challenger.

America Losing Soviet Era Stigma About Communism
6-12-19, * -- Azios reports a Harris poll for "Axios on HBO" finds that socialism is gaining popularity as 4 in 10 Americans say they would prefer living in a socialist country over a capitalist one. This corroborates a Gallup poll in April 2019 that some 43% of Americans believed socialism is good for America. Axios reports that it is significant that socialism is losing its Soviet-era stigma, especially among women, "Popular Democrat socialists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [aka AOC] and Bernie Sanders [presidential candidate] are bringing new life and meaning to the term." [.snip] The Gallup poll indicated "a majority of Democrats have said they view socialism positively in Gallup polling since 2010, including 57% in the most recent measure in 2018." The Gallup survey also found that:
- nearly 30% of Americans want government distribution of wealth
- 35% want government responsibility for wages
- 33% want government control over the economy.
IN SOME WAYS SOCIALISM & COMMUNISM ARE INTERCHANGEABLE ... but different in others
11-26-18, Investopedia -- Communism and socialism are economic and political structures that promote equality and seek to eliminate social classes as follows:
- In a Communist Society, the working class owns everything and everyone works toward the same communal goal. There are no wealthy or poor people -- all are equal and the community distributes what it produces based only on need. Nothing is obtained by working more than what is required. Communism frequently results in low production, mass poverty and limited advancement.
- In a Socialist Society, the main focus is on equality; but workers earn wages they can spend as they choose, while the government, not citizens, owns and operates the means for production. Workers receive what they need to produce and survive, but there’s no incentive to achieve more, leaving little motivation.
- In a Capitalist Society, a sharp divide is created between the wealthiest citizens and the poorest, however with the wealthiest owning the majority of the nation's resources with everyone having incentive and desire to succeed and be wealthy. Limitations don’t exist and reward comes to those who go beyond the minimum. Owners are allowed to keep the excess production they earn; and competition occurs naturally fostering advancement.
The Communist Manifesto says, "But communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience."
Other linchpins of communism are enumerated in the Manifesto:
1) Abolition of property ownership
2) a heavy progressive income tax
3) abolition of all rights of inheritance
4) confiscation of property
5) centralization of credit
6) centralization of transportation
7) centrally planned economy
8) obligation to work
9) abolishing distinction between towns and country
10) a free education for children
Since World War I, America has been on the slippery slope toward socialism. The goal of Soviet Russia was to infiltrate American values with the destructive social goals of the Communist Manifesto. Former Soviet KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov, who defected from the Soviet Union in 1970, was interviewed in 1984 about Soviet infiltration methods. He said that by 1970 the Soviet Union already had infiltrated the US through brainwashing left-leaning people in the news media, entertainment, politics, business, education, and religion. Progressives are the new communists. Government replaces God.
Exodus 20:3 says, "Thou shalt have no other god's before me."

People need to be educated about Soviet-era communism so those who are ignorant of its ramifications are aware. The coup before us is against the Constitutional government of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA including the freedoms of religion and speech.

6-5-19, President Trump and First Lady Melania gathered with many world leaders including Queen Elizabeth II and Germany's Angela Merkel gathered on the south coast of England to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, honoring the remaining 300 veterans, aged 91 to 101 of the Allied forces who were also in attendance who risked their lives in the invasion that helped liberate Europe from Nazi Germany. British Prime Minister Theresa May said: "The Normandy landings 75 years ago were a moment of historic international cooperation. And it is right that at the heart of today's commemorations are the veterans who fought to secure the liberty and the peace that we now enjoy."
The event begins two days of D-Day anniversary observances as tribute to the troops who shaped history during the dangerous mission to reach beachheads and fight in German-occupied France.
President Trump read an excerpt of the prayer given on June 6, 1944 by President Franklin Roosevelt.
The event begins two days of D-Day anniversary observances as tribute to the troops who shaped history during the dangerous mission to reach beachheads and fight in German-occupied France.
President Trump read an excerpt of the prayer given on June 6, 1944 by President Franklin Roosevelt.
President Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day, June 6, 1944 Prayer as Allied troops were invading German-occupied Europe during World War II. The prayer was read to the United States nation on radio on the evening of D-Day, while American, British and Canadian troops were fighting to establish five beach heads on the coast of Normandy in northern France. The previous night, June 5, 1944 the President had also been on the radio to announce that Allied troops had entered Rome. The spectacular news that Rome had been liberated was quickly superceded by news of the gigantic D-Day invasion which began at 6:30 a.m. on June 6, 1944. By midnight, about 57,000 American and 75,000 British and Canadian soldiers had made it ashore, amid 4400 allied losses that included 2,500 Americans killed and 8,500 wounded.
LET OUR HEARTS BE STOUT!
"My Fellow Americans:
Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.
And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith. They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph. They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest -- until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war. For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and goodwill among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.
Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.
And for us at home -- fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas, whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them -- help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.
Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.
Give us strength, too -- strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces. And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.
And, O Lord, give us faith. Give us faith in Thee; faith in our sons; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. Let not the keeness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment -- let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.
With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace -- a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil. Thy will be done, Almighty God. Amen."
-- US President Franklin D. Roosevelt

With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace -- a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil. Thy will be done, Almighty God. Amen."
-- US President Franklin D. Roosevelt
WILDFIRES WORLDWIDE: 2019
Israel Firefighters Fear Worst Temperatures Continue to Rise Currently 104 Degrees F.
5-24-19, Firefighters in Israel surveyed the damage caused by massive wildfires that threatened Kibbutz Harel and almost wiped out Mevo Modi'im, in addition to many other blazes; unseasonably high temperatures reaching 48C [104 Degrees F.] maintain fear that more yet to come. Investigation surmise that the Harel fire likely caused by a falling electric cable in a nearby town; six homes were damaged there. In Mevo Modi'im, 40 of the town's 50 homes were damaged and thousands of residents from those two regions spent the night at hospitality centers. Emergency services battled multiple wildfires throughout the country on Thursday.

Pres Putin Told Mike Pompeo: "It's time to restore US-Russia ties..."
At Odds on Many Fronts, US and Russia Hope for Better Ties
5-14-19, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Sochi Russia meeting with Pres Putin and Sergey Lavrov. A day after US President Donald Trump said he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit of leaders in Japan in June, 2019. Mr Lavrov said it has not received a formal proposal but, “If such a proposal is received, we will respond to it in a positive way.”
At the start of their meeting, Mr Lavrov said both countries are overdue to dispel “suspicions and prejudices” and to “start building a new constructive framework” of how Russia and the US see each other. Putin told Pompeo he hoped to restore relations and that the conclusion of the special counsel Mueller's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election meant that was possible.
