Idiotic Protesters Continue Making a Mess

It seems some people continue to be upset about a black thug being killed by a white cop this past summer.  They have taken to the streets in numerous states and refuse to follow the laws of peaceful protesting.

I'n going to ask you now to take a wild guess....if you went and took a poll of the protesters standing around, blocking traffic and making up stupid songs to chant...what percentage of them do you think voted for Obama and other democrats?

Uh-huh....you are right!  100%  Why do you suppose this is?  Because the folks who vote Republican are too busy at work to take time out to stand in the streets and block traffic while complaining about how life isn't fair.

The brave Portland #Ferguson demonstrators were back at it again Saturday evening, as they blocked the busy intersection of SE 39th and Belmont as a way of stickin’ it to the man.

They blocked buses and cars, and got into arguments and physical altercations with several people, including: elderly drivers, disabled bus passengers, a black woman who was trying to pick up her son, and anyone else who dared voice their dissent.

After about 20 minutes of tying up the intersection, the protest moved to nearby Peacock Lane, which is well known for its rows of large Christmas displays. The demonstrators sang parody Christmas carols, which included a brief rendition of “Deck the halls with rows of dead cops.”

While on Peacock Lane, which is very busy this time of year with folks who drive and walk through to see the lights, one driver decided to start plowing through the protesters. The crowd immediately mobbed the silver Jeep. It is unclear if anyone was injured or why the driver didn't stop for the crowd.

Take 3 minutes and watch the videos of protesters here;  http://www.progressivestoday.com/ferguson-carol-deck-the-halls-with-rows-of-dead-cops/

Also remember the chanting that was done in NYC, "What do we want?...Dead cops!...When do we want it?....Now!!"

A few days later, two NYC cops were killed by a black Muslim while they sat in their cop car eating lunch.

Friends, a nation simply can't survive for very long when it becomes filled with people who can't read, write or even think straight.  Our founding fathers understood this well and warned us that we need to remain an educated and God-fearing nation in order for our Constitution to function.

Sadly, millions and millions of us are no longer God-fearing and millions more are convinced that America owes them food, shelter and clothing...regardless of how hard they work or what they do!

Standing in the streets yelling stupid chants and making people late for their apppointments is NOT going to accomplish anything....except to make the divide in the nation even wider.

One day, unless God intervenes, this nation is going to have major unrest.  It may even head towards another civil war.

"A nation divided will not stand."

Thousand Churches Destroyed

I wonder how many Muslim terrorist organizations need to be operating around the globe before The West will finally realize that Islam IS NOT a "great religion of peace"....as President Bush so erroneously announced following 9/11.

The examples of Muslims doing Satanic acts in the name of their god, Allah, continue to come forward.

A court in Pakistan upheld the death penalty for Asia Bibi, a Christian mother of four. She is accused of having made derogatory remarks about Islam after neighbors objected to her drinking water from their glass, because she was not a Muslim and therefore "unclean."

A successful Christian school in the United Kingdom was warned that it would be downgraded by inspectors and might even face closure after failing to invite a leader from another religion, such as a Muslim imam, to lead assemblies. "A Government consultation paper... makes clear that even taking children on trips to different places of worship would not be enough to be judged compliant."

"They then told me that since I refused to [convert to Islam] they would kill me.... They pinned me down and told me they will make death painful and slow, as they are not prepared to waste bullets on me. They said, 'Be warned that if any of you Muslims dares to assist him, he is also an infidel and we shall make sure that he too is killed.'" — Adamu, a Christian; Nigeria.

They are searching [for me] to cut my throat. When I go to mass, I say I am going to English classes because I plan to travel." — "Tarek," a convert to Christianity in Lebanon.

The police, far from interfering, actually incited the Muslim man.

"With no one on hand to know what is going on, it's easier to mistreat them." — Jason Demars, President, Present Truth Ministries.

About 100,000 Christians die every year because of their religious beliefs. — The Center for the Studies of Global Christianity in the United States.

In just two months, from August to October, nearly 200 Christian churches were destroyed in Nigeria by the Islamic organization Boko Haram and its Muslim allies, after their capture of towns and villages in the north-eastern states of Borno and Adamawa. In the words of Reverend Gideon Obasogie, the director of Catholic Social Communication of Maiduguri Diocese in Borno State: "The group's seizure of territory in both states has seen 185 churches torched and over 190,000 people displaced by their insurgency."

Obasogie added that Boko Haram's "ransacking and torching" of churches was "sad, heart-aching and potentially dangerous to the territorial integrity and common good of Nigeria.... Our priests are displaced, while citizens... are counting their losses and regrets as they have been reduced to the status of Internally Displaced Persons [IDP]. Where is the freedom?... Life is really terribly difficult."

In 2011, hundreds of Christians were killed and 430 churches destroyed or damaged in Nigeria by Boko Haram. In 2012, 900 Christians were slaughtered and an unknown number of churches destroyed. In 2013, 612 Christians were slaughtered and approximately 300 churches destroyed.

This suggests that in the last four years alone, approximately 1,000 Christian churches have been destroyed by Boko Haram and its Muslim sympathizers in a nation that is approximately half Christian half Muslim.

If this rage against Christians isn't another sign of the Last Days...I don't know what is.

Satan is upset.  He and his minions hate Jews and Israel, Christians and America.  That's why his Muslim horde has labeled Israel, "little Satan" and America "big Satan".  You see, with Satan, up means down and down means up...evil is called good and good is called evil.  So when a Muslim 12 yr old girl willingly blows herself up in a marketplace and kills 20 folks out buying groceries...she does it because she has been convinced she is doing a service to Allah....which she believes is a good thing.

In reality it's an evil thing.  As we are told by Christ, Satan is the father of all lies.

When Muslims descend on a farmer in Nigeria who refuses to renounce Christ and cut his throat and leave him for dead...they believe they are doing a service for God...but in reality they are serving Satan/Allah.

John 16
2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.

Friends, the battle against Islam is a spiritual battle...as Paul clearly outlined in Ephesians 6.  We will not win this battle with guns, tanks and bullets...it needs to be won with prayer.

Sadly, how many churches in America have already bought into the lie that Islam is a religion of peace and that Muslims are already walking on one of the "many paths that lead to God."....so because of belief in this lie, how many Christians in America are aggressively praying AGAINST the forces of Islam...and praying that Muslims be delivered from this oppressive lie?

If we aren't already praying for Jesus to deliver Muslims from the lies of Islam...let's resolve ourselves to start doing it today.

Foreigners Remove Their Gold From USA

You all will have to read this article and decide for yourselves whether it has any significance. Remember, we just post the headlines and do our best to encourage people to be excited about Christ's return.

As the great old hymn reminds us, "This world is not my home, we're just a passing through."

As the Bible reminds us, "Lay up your treasures in heaven where moth and rust won't destroy them."

It was just disclosed today by the Federal Reserve that foreign nations removed a shocking 1.52 million oz of gold from the US in November - gold that was being stored in the vaults of the New York Fed. The last time foreigners removed this much gold from the New York Fed in a single month was back in March of 2001, six months ahead of 9/11.

Over the last 12 months, foreigners have shipped back to their homeland a total of 5.52 million oz of gold! This includes 2.87 million oz during the last two months.

Historically, any time foreigners have removed such a large amount of gold from the US in a 12 month period - it has been a warning sign that a major recession/financial crisis is imminent. In October of 2007, total gold removed from the US over the trailing 12 month period surpassed 5.5 million oz - and the US officially entered into a recession three months later, which later became a global financial crisis. However, at no point leading up to or during the global financial crisis, did foreigners remove more than 1.28 million oz of gold in a single month!

Here;  http://inflation.us/foreigners-remove-most-gold-from-us-since-just-before-911/

So is it possible that  a "major recession/financial crisis is imminent"?

It would certainly make sense if it was.  Financial catastrophes seldom happen when people expect them.  Rather they tend to come out of left field...when everyone is feeling great about the future.

And as we have said recently, unemployment is down, the stock market is up, gas prices are down, consumer confidence is up, corporate profits are up and interest rates are down.  Certainly we are in the BEST OF TIMES!....until we realize it is all just a mirage...and we are hanging all our hopes and dreams on little, printed pieces of paper that say, $1, $5, $10 and $20.

Just don't be surprised if 2015 turns out to be the year that the trap snaps on USA.  Our pride, arrogance and blatant disregard for Jesus Christ, the Creator of all things, has certainly reached a crescendo.

China Has the Gold. Is The West Bankrupt?

The financial news continues to be extreme.  One article says the U.S. is going to lead the global economy in 2015...while the next one says the U.S. is going to collapse when the global economy realizes that our paper money is backed ONLY by unsustainable promises.

Alisdair Macleod of Goldmoney.com in a recent article    suggests China may already have accumulated between 20,000 and 25,000 tons of gold prior to 2002.  Please read this very carefully as it makes very good sense and puts a piece into the puzzle which was missing for so long.  Let me also add, if this turns out to be true then it is THE biggest financial news since August 15, 1971 when the U.S. defaulted on the gold standard.

Macleod believes that China has been playing possum regarding their gold reserves.  If you recall, China announced in 2009 they had accumulated a whopping 1,054 tons of gold.  The news at the time was a huge surprise and led to bullishness in the gold market as China was then a confirmed buyer.  This total vaulted them into the major leagues of gold hoards.  If Macleod is correct about holdings of 20-25,000 tons AS OF 2003, why would China want to “lie” about how much gold they have accumulated?  It is important to understand the mindset of the Chinese and the deep rooted thought process instilled in them by General Sun Tzu.  “Deception” is a core strategy to war, under this category would come the thought “help your opponent in his underestimation of you”.  Why would the Chinese announce true or huge holdings if it was their intent to continue hoarding?  They wouldn’t.

To finish I want to point out the obvious.  If China has amassed 20,000, 25,000 tons of gold or even more, what does it mean?  It means the West is financially bankrupt as by process of elimination much of this gold has had to come from Western vaults!  It means that money and power has shifted East right before our very eyes and under our noses.  It means that China can price or value gold at any price they would like …and in any currency they’d like.  It means we will be living in a China centric world where the “rules are made by those who have the gold”.  It means the U.S. (and much of the West) will be relegated to nearly immediate 3rd world status.  The danger of course is in today’s world, if this really was a miscalculation by the West, a very nasty and game ending war could break out.  I don’t believe we will have to wait too long to find out if China did in fact play possum as Alisdair Macleod may have now let the cat out of the bag!  As I said at the beginning, this could be THE biggest financial revelation in over 40 years!

Here;  http://www.globalresearch.ca/chinas-massive-holdings-of-gold-bullion-is-the-west-financially-bankrupt/5411692

Many of us have heard the old saying, "Him with the gold makes the rules."  That saying is not an old-wives tale...it's actually true.

So has China cornered the market?  Have we all been so busy shopping at malls and maxing out our credit cards that we haven't noticed that China has stolen the RESERVE CURRENCY status from the USA?  Could USA become a 3rd world nation within a very short time?

Remember, America isn't found in Bible prophecy.  Clearly at some point in the future we are going to be removed from power.  How that might happen is totally up for debate.  Does the rapture collapse us?  Does our paper money scheme collapse in on itself leaving us unable to pay our bills? Do terrorists, Russia or Iran detonate a nuke on our coast and take us out of the game?  Or do we get embroiled in unrest as the riots in Ferguson, MO continue to spread and rip the very fabric of our nation into shreds?

I'm hoping for the rapture.

2015...The Year of Conflict?

Everything is going so great in America!...says all the media outlets.

In fact, I just read a headline that America is expected to lead the world in economic growth!  Happy days are here again!....says the media.

But are they really?

Washington Has Shaped 2015 to Be a Year of Conflict. The Conflict Could Be Intense

Washington is the cause of the conflict, which has been brewing for some time. Russia was too weak to do anything about it when the Clinton regime pushed NATO to Russia’s borders and illegally attacked Yugoslavia, breaking the country into small easily controlled pieces. Russia was also too weak to do anything about it when the George W. Bush regime withdrew from the ABM treaty and undertook to locate anti-ballistic missile bases on Russia’s borders. Washington lied to Moscow that the purpose of the ABM bases was to protect Europe from non-existent Iranian nuclear ICBMs. However, Moscow understood that the purpose of the ABM bases was to degrade Russia’s nuclear deterrent, thereby enhancing Washington’s ability to coerce Russia into agreements that compromise Russian sovereignty. 

Today the Russian government no longer has any illusion that Europe is capable of an independent foreign policy. Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated publicly that Russia has learned that diplomacy with Europe is pointless, because European politicians represent Washington’s interest, not Europe’s. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently acknowledged that Europe’s Captive Nation status has made it clear to Russia that Russian goodwill gestures are unable to produce diplomatic results.

With Moscow’s delusion shattered that diplomacy with the West can produce peaceful solutions, reality has set in, reinforced by the demonization of Vladimir Putin by Washington and its vassal states. Hillary Clinton called Putin the new Hitler. While Washington incorporates former constituent parts of the Russian and Soviet empires into its own empire and bombs seven countries, Washington claims that Putin is militarily aggressive and intends to reconstitute the Soviet empire. Washington arms the neo-nazi regime Obama established in Ukraine, while erroneously claiming that Putin has invaded and annexed Ukrainian provinces. All of these blatant lies are echoed repeatedly by the Western presstitutes. Not even Hitler had such a compliant media as Washington has.

Every diplomatic effort by Russia has been blocked by Washington and has come to naught. So now Russia has been forced by reality to update its military doctrine. The new doctrine approved on December 26 states that the US and NATO comprise a major military threat to the existence of Russia as a sovereign independent country. 

The Russian document cites Washington’s war doctrine of pre-emptive nuclear attack, deployment of anti-ballistic missiles, buildup of NATO forces, and intent to deploy weapons in space as clear indications that Washington is preparing to attack Russia.

Washington is also conducting economic and political warfare against Russia, attempting to destabilize the economy with economic sanctions and attacks on the ruble. The Russian document acknowledges that Russia faces Western threats of regime change achieved through “actions aimed at violent change of the Russian constitutional order, destabilization of the political and social environment, and disorganization of the functioning of governmental bodies, crucial civilian and military facilities and informational infrastructure of Russia.” Foreign financed NGOs and foreign owned Russian media are tools in Washington’s hands for destabilizing Russia.

Washington’s reckless aggressive policy against Russia has resurrected the nuclear arms race. Russia is developing two new ICBM systems and in 2016 will deploy a weapons system designed to negate the US anti-ballistic missile system. In short, the evil warmongers that rule in Washington have set the world on the path to nuclear Armageddon.  

Here;  http://m.strategic-culture.org/news/2014/12/29/washington-has-shaped-2015-to-be-a-year-of-conflict-the-conflict-could-be-intense.html

What??  Washington is preparing to attack Russia??  Could the Russian government REALLY believe that?

Wait...we aren't planning that...are we?

A path to nuclear Armageddon??  Really?  Have the evil warmongers in Washington really done such a thing?

Have you ever caught a raccoon in a live trap?  As long as you keep your distance the coon will just look at you.  But if you walk up to the trap and get too close the coon will let out a snarl that will make your the hair on your arms stand up.  And believe me, even if you put your hand near the cage to push the door open to let the coon out....it will do everything in it's power to maul your hand.

Could Russia be feeling like a trapped coon right about now?  Oil prices have already fallen by 50% since June and much of Russia's budget is based on selling oil at $100 per barrel so her economy is feeling the pain.  On top of that the sanctions imposed by Europe and the USA are starting to bite into Russia...so maybe she is feeling like a caged coon?

I can say one thing for sure...here in Minnesota, things are feeling pretty good all around us.  The buildings that are going up, the cars that are being sold, the businesses that have "help wanted" signs posted and the general feeling that "good times" are upon us...are certainly giving a grand feeling that peace and safety are here.

As I just recently quoted, "While they are saying peace and safety, destruction will come on them suddenly."

Interesting times.....

ISIS Closing in on Israel

Israel continues to be in the world news everyday.  It's as if the world simply can't figure out what to do with these few million Jews living among the millions of Muslims, many of which are sworn to Israel's destruction.

As of yet, ISIS (Islamic State) has not been ranting about destroying Israel like so many other Muslim terrorist organizations.  So is that on purpose?  Do they have a plan to surround Israel before they start openly taunting their hatred and destruction threats?

This is an interesting headline especially because it's coming out of Yahoo Finance

ISIS Closing in on Israel from the North and the South

The war against ISIS is taking a dangerous, perhaps inevitable turn. The terror organization has been keen to expand to southern Syria and the Syrian capital of Damascus. Now it says it has recruited three Syrian rebel groups operating in the south of the country in an area bordering the Israeli occupied Golan Heights — that have switched their loyalties to ISIS.

This switch means that Israel, the U.S.’s closest ally in the Middle East, could be threatened from the southwest by the Egyptian ISIS group of Ansar Bait al-Maqdis in Sinai and by ISIS in southern Syria.

The ISIS war is not going well at all for the US-led alliance in Syria. ISIS and al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda’s branch in Syria, are still the dominant rebel groups in the country. The U.S.-backed Free Syrian Army is still not a reliable fighting force.

The three rebel groups that just joined ISIS could make that situation even worse. Two of the groups are small in number, but the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade has hundreds of fighters. The Yarmouk Brigades has been at odds with al-Nusra Front and switched now to join what leaders of all thrwee groups believe is the future of Islam.

“If Israel was attacked by ISIS, America would expect a proportionate response by Israel, which is militarily capable of defending itself,” said Geoffrey Levin, a professor at New York University. “America would counsel against sustained Israeli involvement because it could threaten the tacit alliance between America, Iran, Turkey, and several Arab states against ISIS.”

Israel could launch a preemptive attack to destroy or significantly damage these ISIS-affiliated units whether by air or by ground forces. Israel used its advanced air force to launch attacks in Syria several times since the beginning of Syrian civil war in 2011.

Meanwhile, Israel has recently boosted its defenses in the Golan Heights, saying its main concern was to prevent any major weapon transfer from Syria to Hezbollah, the Lebanese guerrilla organization that has engaged in several rounds of war with the Israelis since the 1980s. 

Here;  http://finance.yahoo.com/news/isis-closing-israel-north-south-113000327.html

It's hard NOT to think about Psalm 83 as you read this article.  The Psalm mentions all the enemies of Israel who are currently sitting directly on her modern-day borders.  The Psalmist asks God to destroy these enemies.

Some think this is just a prayer asking God for relief from Israel's arch enemies...while others believe this is an actual prophesied event that is yet to happen.

I don't really know...as I can see both sides of the argument.  So for now, I'll just stay in the neutral zone and say that it's very interesting to watch.

Psalm 83 (parenthesis are mine)
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
    they plot against those you cherish. (Jews in Israel)
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
    so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.” (Exactly what the Muslims are saying)
5 With one mind they plot together; (One thing Muslims agree on)
    they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom ( Palestinians in Jordan) and the Ishmaelites,
    of Moab (Jordan) and the Hagrites,
7 Byblos, Ammon (Jordan) and Amalek,
    Philistia, (Gaza Strip) with the people of Tyre. (Lebanon)
8 Even Assyria (Syria and Iraq) has joined them
    to reinforce Lot’s descendants.
Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
    like chaff before the wind.
14 As fire consumes the forest
    or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 so pursue them with your tempest
    and terrify them with your storm.
16 Cover their faces with shame, Lord,
    so that they will seek your name.
17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
    may they perish in disgrace.
18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord—
    that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

So what do you think?  Is God getting ready to decimate these enemies of Israel...all of whom are Muslims sitting on Israel's borders?  Will he use the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to do it?

Do you think Israel would tolerate ISIS beheading Jewish citizens and posting their graphic deaths online for all the world to see?

If all the Muslim extremists from Hezbollah, Hamas, Fatah, Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS all descended on Israel in one day screaming, "Allah Akbar!" and tried to overwhelm the tiny Jewish country...what do you think would happen?

We know God's word says that Israel will NEVER be totally destroyed again once she has been regathered from the nations...

Things to Come...

Sorry for the lack of recent posts but we had family at our place over Christmas and it seemed there just weren't many spare, quiet minutes to be found.

I found this great article on what we can expect to be coming according to God's prophetic word.  For many of us, we may not find anything brand new here...but if you are like me, it is affirming to find other prophecy watchers who are saying and thinking the same things.

Given that the United States, or any semblance thereof, is not mentioned in Bible prophecy, one has to take into account the how, why, and 'so what' of that particular implication. 

If the US is not here, who then fills that vacuum? Who sets the precedence for a global order? What is the reserve currency the whole world leans upon for stability in the global markets? Logic and history tells us, that if the US isn’t filling that role, someone will. How and when does the world get from the current status quo, to one in which it isn’t?

So it is with the outline of Bible prophecy, I am 100% certain. It’s when we get into the subsections of the outline that my certainty drops to between 60-75%. IOW, I’m certain on the order of things, not so certain on the specifics of how those things come to pass. Here is the order:

The imminent Rapture of the Church (1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Cor. 15:51-55)
The 70th Week of Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27, particularly vs. 27; Jeremiah 30:7-11)
The Second Coming (Matt. 24:29-31; Rev. 19:11-21)
The Millennium (Isaiah 65:17-25; Revelation 20)
The Eternal State (2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 21-22)

Now, there are other events which must take place, to which I am 100% certain on their fulfillment, but not 100% on the when. These are:

The utter destruction of the city of Damascus (Isaiah 17)
The temporary desolation of Egypt (Isaiah 19)
The Gog-Magog War (Ezekiel 38-39)
The signing of a peace covenant (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 6:1-2)

So where on God’s timeline are we, seems to be the reoccurring question that gets so often asked? So here is what we know as of now (December 2014):

The United States is in an increasingly rapid state of decline, particularly in three areas: spiritually, culturally, and economically

The economic decline appear to be intrinsically linked to the spiritual and cultural decline as the US embraces its national, post-Christian statu

The US economic decline is having a weakening effect on the US military, and our ability to project our force, and a strong image around the world

Paganism, secular humanism, and the normalization of aberrant sexual, cultural lifestyles and belief systems, appear to be filling the void of a declining Christian worldview (Days of Noah and Lot; Luke 17:25-30)

The revival of cultural paganism (Neopaganism) is in conjunction with trans-humanism, which is fast becoming a reality due to advancements in technology

The US Dollar is currently the world’s reserve currency for fiat systems. Factors that are negatively and positively impacting that standing are:

1.$18T in US debt (negative)

3.Rapid changes in currency technology challenging the current fiat system (both)

4.Instability in other currencies (positive)

5.Busts, booms, and general fickleness of the markets (both)

6.Increasing polarity in the US government (negative)

7.Economists and heads of state are currently planning for, and/or prepositioning themselves for the collapse of the US economy. 

8.Global interconnectedness has reached an all-time high, and is partly due to the dependency on the US Dollar system, and the rise of the Internet age. 

9.The EU is continuing in its growing pains. Economic woes and a rise in nationalism seem to be equally as troubling, as its burgeoning Muslim population. Either way, it’s not looking good like a good place to retire if you’re a Jew

Here is what I expect to occur due to the aforementioned realities:

10. The collapsing of the US Dollar (due to the global dependence on it for economic stability) presents the ‘perfect storm’ crisis that globalists need, in order to bring about a new order

11. Saudi Arabia will continue its oil output in order to:

- Weaken its enemies who rely on oil revenues
- Destroy the US fracking industry

12. Events are continuing to drive the world’s attention back to the Middle East in respects to Iraq, Iran, and Israel. Despite President Obama’s best efforts, events are compelling US forces to return to Iraq.

I think there are two powerful forces currently fighting it out on earth right now. One group wants things to stay the way they are, because they are making money and living fat and happy. This would be groups like the Saudi’s, major energy providers, and anyone tied up with and making a healthy living under the current Petro-Dollar/fiat system. They want things to stay the same and they use oil and other energies, as an economic weapon. 

The other group, has grander plans, and sees the US Dollar dominance, as a hindrance to their globalist agenda. So they are actively working to debase the Dollar, and by so doing, can get the world onto a new, global, digital currency in which they control. I imagine that these are the movers and shakers in new technologies and multinational corporations, politicians of all stripes, those in the central banking industries, and the like. And seeing, as we are $18T in debt, one can guess which side is currently winning.

Then of course, there is God, who has the first and final say in all things. (Isaiah 46:9-10)

ASSESSMENT

My best guess, all things considered, is that we are in a five year window awaiting major, radical, global realignments. If you’d have asked me that five years ago, I would have told you about the same…and yet, here we still are.  But I’m no prophet. I’m only a man armed with an informed opinion. But unknown to us five years ago, was that certain things had to transpire that I think will make things significantly different in the days, weeks, months ahead. These are the “black swan” events that will have to play out in the next few years:

1.      Israel is no longer interested or invested in playing the ‘two-state’ solution game.  They’ve been trying this for the past 21 years, and it has utterly failed each time.
2.      Israel realizes it can no longer depend on the U.S. for its “Iranian Problem” and realizes that their window for stopping Iran’s ambitious, nuclear program is quickly coming to a close and even with the 2016 elections, that may be too late.  Events are going to force Israel to act unilaterally.
3.      If Russia risked military incursions into Georgia, Ukraine and Crimea before their financial woes, imagine what President Putin will do when his country’s economy is in a freefall.
4.      The U.S. is significantly weaker than it was during the last financial crisis of 2008.  Echoes of 1928-29 keep being rehashed in the news, and it is possible that another stock market collapse will effectively do, what 2008 could not.
5.      President Obama has/is continuing to rule through executive legislation that seems intent on dividing and weakening the U.S.

6.      The upcoming 2016 elections may prove the most contentious yet, depending on whether President Obama and the Democrats intend to go quietly into the night, or have a few tricks left up their sleeve.  They can’t be too thrilled at the prospect of a Republican triumvirate.

The news media keeps telling us everyday that the US economy continues to get better and better. Gasoline prices are now under $2 /gallon all across the nation so consumers are feeling better. Unemployment filings are down to their lowest level in 5 years and the stock market closed at an all time high so...what could possibly go wrong?

Remember friends....nothing has been "fixed" in America.  The clear warning we all received in 2008 when our financial house nearly collapsed has not been rebuilt on a firm foundation.  It was simply pasted over with "money" that was created out of thin air by adding some $zeros to the nations financial columns.

One day it will all come crashing down.  We don't know when but we shouldn't be surprised if it comes crashing in on us like a tsunami coming across a calm ocean.
