City of 20 Million May Soon Be Out of Water

Brazil is suffering a horrible drought.  If relief doesn't come in the form of rain really soon...a city of 20 million people could be forced to have their water cut to 2 days per week.  Think about it....what if your toilet only flushed 2 days per week....or you could only shower 2 days per week.

If this happens, the entire country could become destabilized.

A last-ditch effort to avoid a complete collapse of one of the city's primary water sources, the city of Sao Paulo in Brazil, population 20 million, has proposed cutting off the water supply up to five days a week, allowing residents to access water only twice per week, or about eight times monthly.

As we reported back in December, Brazil's largest city is barely surviving the worst recorded drought to ever hit the region. With demand for water far exceeding supply, officials have been frantically working to develop a system that will preserve what little water remains while avoiding a complete breakdown of this large metropolitan region.

The "Sistema Cantareira," a series of five interconnected reservoirs that under normal conditions provides water for about 9 million of Sao Paulo's residents, is almost completely dry. According to the latest reports, the utility, which sits almost halfway between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, is down to a mere 5.1 percent of its total capacity of 264 billion gallons of water.

If nothing is done to conserve what little water remains, the entire system will more than likely be dry in a matter of months, and most likely weeks, leaving almost half of the city without water. Consequently, the government is proposing some drastic measures that it says are necessary to prevent a total collapse.

Total collapse?!  That sounds serious!

We have been wondering for years what may become of California as it continues to suffer through the worst drought in the state's history.

What would happen if we change the location of the above article to Los Angeles?

Think it could never happen??  Guess again....

All the usual measures are being taken to try to soften the impact of the drought: The Governor has declared a state of emergency, strict water conservation efforts are already in force, neighborhood "water cops" hand out stiff fines for excessive water usage, and people are scrambling to cut water consumption in every way possible.

These efforts, however, will not be enough. The simple, inescapable fact is that much of California is simply not sustainably inhabitable with the population densities it currently hosts. Los Angeles, in particular, is a city built in a desert and almost entirely dependent on imported water supplies for its survival.

California is a wonderful place full of amazing and fun people, but the "California lifestyle" pursued there flat-out isn't supportable by the climate of the region. For example, California currently hosts 1,140 golf courses. (3) Golf courses are perhaps the perfect symbol of the level of shameful denial under which so many of us Americans now live when it comes to sustainability.

Golf courses use ridiculously excessive volumes of water to create an artificial "green" playing field in the middle of dry, arid regions. While golf is a wonderful sport and a healthy way for many people to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air, the presence of massive green lawns in the middle of near-desert regions should cause any thinking person to ask, "What's wrong with this picture?"

Hey God!  We don't need you telling us we can't live in the desert!  We are Americans!!  We can live any dang place we want!!  We are masters of our own domain!  We will dam the rivers and created cities with swimming pools in every back yard....and canals running all across the desert!  Who needs rain?!  Who need you??

Certainly we are attempting to build our own Tower of Babel.  Our modern building methods will make us be like God!

Pride comes before the fall.

Just imagine if California runs out of water.  We get most of our food from there.  Imagine the real estate collapse that would happen if the richest state in the union can't even give their water-less homes away.

Sounds like we have built a mess for ourselves...

Golf anyone?

Gays Are "Outraged"...Again

It's being reported that a married gay man killed himself and his husband asked some churches to perform a funeral and the churches refused.

Is this a good reason for gays to be outraged?

Gay rights activists are outraged after the grieving husband of a man who committed suicide earlier this month says he struggled to find a church willing to hold the funeral.

Widow Jay Hoskins claims that at least two churches in Clarkridge, Arkansas refused to hold a ceremony after his husband of less than a year, James Stone, hanged himself on January 19.

The story has spread through social media, and the Facebook page for Clarkright Church of Christ, one of those accused of closing its doors to Hoskins, has been inundated with condemnation.

Hoskins told the Baxter Bulletin that he asked a pastor at the church to perform a graveside service for James. "I told them I was his husband and I would be bringing him back home for burial. They declined to do the service," he said, adding that his request was also refused by Clarkridge Baptist Church.

However, leaders of both churches said they had not been contacted at all regarding the funeral. Pastor at the Baptist church, Tim Moore, told the Bulletin that he would have performed the ceremony if asked.

"It's a difficult position to be put in because I believe the Bible teaches it is not a Biblical lifestyle," Moore said of Stone and Hoskins' relationship. "But, I want to show people love, to bring them into the church. It's not for me to judge people, that's for God."

Clayton King, minister at the Church of Christ, however, admitted that he would have turned down the request had he been contacted, but said it was a "lie" that he had been asked.

"No one ever spoke to me and asked to perform a church service or a graveside service. The family did not make contact and that man did not make contact," he said of the accusations.

"I would not have performed the service because I would have been condoning homosexual activity. I could not celebrate their life together. I could have celebrated his [Stone's] life, but not their life together, because of the connotation of homosexuality."

Here;  http://www.christiantoday.com/article/did.churches.in.arkansas.actually.refuse.to.hold.a.funeral.for.a.gay.man/47424.htm

OK all you outraged gays....were these men members of the church?  No?   Here's a newsflash....local churches exist for their members.  They are not in business to perform weddings, funerals, birthday parties or community functions for anyone who asks.

If you got your wedding license at city hall and had a justice of the peace marry you...maybe you should consider having your funeral performed by the justice of the peace too!

Of course if the church decides they WANT to do your funeral....that's up to them.  But don't pull that "outraged" routine on every local church you supposedly asked to say some politically correct mumbo-jumbo at your gay lover's funeral.

I, for one, am outraged at your outrage.  Why can't you practice some tolerance toward these churches that refused your wishes?  Are you totally intolerant of anyone who disagrees with your lifestyle?  If so, that makes you totally intolerant!

Outrageous!!

Dawkins Calls God "Lazy"

The atheists are getting more bold in their assertions.  Atheists seem to be getting more and more annoyed by people of faith.  They are no longer content to just think that there is no God...now they are on a rampage to ridicule anyone who believes there is a God.

Christian author and creationist Ken Ham has hit back at a video in which Richard Dawkins accuses God of being "lazy". He said the atheist's comments "should stand as a warning to those who compromise with man's ideas of evolution and millions of years."

Dawkins appeared in a video earlier this month in which he speaks to a character called 'Mr Deity' – supposed to represent God – telling him: "As a biologist I am uniquely qualified to understand just how lazy you've been."

"It's just so clear that no intelligent being had a hand in this mess," he adds.

"You know, it seems to me that if you really want to be useful you could do us all a favour and simply vanish. The whole of your precious creation was made by evolution and you didn't have to lift a finger to help it along. You're completely redundant, not just lazy. Even if you weren't lazy, there'd be nothing for you to do. And what's more, we have science now, making you completely unnecessary."

Speaking to the Huffington Post, Dawkins said: "If this is the best the faith-heads can do by way of 'demolishing atheism', I hope you will give it maximum publicity in order to demonstrate how pathetic the 'argument' is. It's so weak, no reply is needed. To anyone of any intelligence at all, it replies to itself."

Here;  http://www.christiantoday.com/article/ken.ham.slams.richard.dawkins.evolution.is.an.anti.god.religion/48392.htm

God will not be mocked.  Yes, we should pray for Dawkins as he dares to call the Creator of the universe, "lazy".  He is on very thin ice.

It's funny how these folks have NO PROOF at all of HOW life formed.  Do they honestly expect us to believe that some eons ago, two rocks banged together by some pond-scum and, POOF, the most intricate forms of life simply appeared?

"The fool says in his heart, "There is no God".

Yep....no man will have an excuse when they stand before Jesus and give an account of all that they said and all the foolish things their darkened minds chose to believe.

Hamas's New Army of Children

Team Obama is busy hosting a conference at the White House on terrorism.  They are doing everything in their power to NOT use the word Muslim...because Obama wants the world to know that EVERYBODY could one day be a ruthless, head-chopping terrorist if they end up jobless and desperate....even old ladies from Iowa and middle-aged Lutheran white men from Minnesota....no one should be on their high horse saying they won't cut people's throats with steak knives!!

According to the Team Obama spokeswoman, the main factor that is luring young people to ISIS is the fact that they don't have jobs.  It has NOTHING to do with Islam and it's quest to take over the entire world!  They just need jobs and then they will be wonderful consumers and producers ready to live in harmony with atheists, lesbians, Lutherans and Jews!

It's very sad that Team Obama can't recognize that Islam has a certain element to it that creates terrorists.  How do you fight an enemy when you won't even call them by name?

Meanwhile, in Gaza, the Muslim terrorists called Hamas, continue to raise up children to hate Jews, The West, Christians and anyone else who doesn't agree with them on shariah law.

If Hamas has the resources to fund and arm a new "Liberation Army" consisting of 17,000 fighters, why does it continue to demand that the international community allocate billions of dollars for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip?

Hamas has turned the Gaza Strip into a huge training camp for jihadis and militiamen affiliated not only with it, but also with the Islamic State.

Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar declared that some of the boys would be recruited to fire mortars and rockets at Israel. And of course, he reiterated Hamas's true goal, namely the destruction of Israel. When Hamas talks about "liberation," it means it wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and replace it with an Islamic state.

Obviously, the Palestinian Authority and its leader, Mahmoud Abbas, do not see Hamas's cynical exploitation and abuse of Palestinian children as a war crime.

If and when the International Criminal Court convenes to consider "war crimes" in the Middle East, the first thing the judges should consider is how Hamas sent thousands of Palestinian teenagers to their deaths, and, as this was happening, how Abbas and the Palestinian Authority looked the other way.

For the past several months, Hamas leaders have been complaining that they do not have enough money to rebuild the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the last war with Israel.

However, it appears that Hamas does have enough funds to train, arm and indoctrinate thousands of young Palestinian men and boys.

While thousands of Palestinian families who lost their houses during the war continue to live in public shelters throughout the Gaza Strip, Hamas recently established 18 camps for military training.

The Hamas military training camps, under the motto "Vanguards of Liberation," have attracted some 17,000 Palestinian males aged 15-21. The young recruits were trained how to use various types of weapons, including pistols, rifles and mortars. They were also "educated" about the need to eliminate Israel and "restore Palestinian rights."

Samir Abu Aitah, a 15-year-old boy who joined the Hamas-run militia, said: "I now feel very happy because they trained me how to use weapons so that I could fight against the soldiers of the occupation. The Jews have killed thousands of innocent people and that's why I decided to join the path of jihad (holy war) and fight against them with weapons. We want to expel the Jews from our occupied country."

Hey Team Obama!!  Maybe you should send John Kerry over to Israel ONE MORE TIME to convince them to give up more land to Hamas....and then give them a few $Billion so they can use it to build a Bed, Bath and Beyond, a Macy's and a Bass Pro Shop!  Then Hamas could hire all sorts of young adults to work at those jobs!  Then they would all be so happy they would totally forget about that pedophile Muhammad, their moon god, Allah and would maybe even set up a peaceful democracy...content to live next door to another democracy called Israel!

It could happen!!  Hope and Change!!

Kum-ba-yah Allah, kum-ba-yah....

International UFO Congress

We just got back from an Arizona vacation.  It's a real blessing to be able to go someplace warm and get a little reprieve from the MN cold.  Of course we arrived home last night just in time to experience the coldest night of the winter, but are happy to be home all the same.

We stayed at a resort outside of Fountain Hills, AZ.  After we were there for a few days I noticed that there was a big conference starting to set up at the resort.  Much to my amazement, it was the International UFO Congress!

The conference officially started on the day we were leaving but I got a taste of strange and demonic booths, lectures, pictures and movies that were all going to be a part of this conference.

The topics included crop circles, Vatican-alien ties, abductions, aliens implanting chips into humans, channeling to communicate with aliens, deep meditation to discover "ancient truths", cattle mutilations, the various races of aliens who visit earth and many, many more.

Here is a link to the Congress if you want to see the speakers and their topics.

http://ufocongress.com/

Friends, it is getting harder and harder to ignore the fact that planet earth is being prepared for a massive demonic deception.  And you can take it to the bank that a big part of that deception is going to have something to do with "aliens".  Of course, Bible readers should understand that these are nothing more than demons in disguise.  The very same demons who have been harassing humans since time began.

Jesus warned that the world would be "as it was in the days of Noah" as His return approached.  If we go back to Genesis 6 and read about the days of Noah we will discover that fallen angels had come to earth to have sex with human women and produce a strange, demonic, powerful hybrid called the Nephilim.

At the UFO Congress listed above, they have a seminar about women who have been "taken" by what the Bible would call "fallen angels" and either had their eggs harvested or been forced to have sexual intercourse with "aliens" and in some cases been shown the offspring of this co-mingling of "strange flesh'.

"Dennis, that is the strangest story I have ever heard.  Did you ingest some strange desert flower this week while you were in Arizona?"

Nope.

Just remember, if you believe in angels, which are intelligent, physically strong beings which are NOT HUMAN....then by default, you have just admitted that you also believe in "aliens".

Genesis 6
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God (fallen angels) went to the daughters of humans and had children by them.

Another Questionable Muslim at White House

I'm still trying to blog from my iPad so will continue to be brief in my comments.

A controversial U.S. Muslim leader who has been highly critical of Israel and said that the Jewish state should be on the "suspect list" in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks participated on Tuesday in a White House summit on Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) that featured Vice President Joe Biden. 

Salam Al-Marayati, founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), tweeted out a photo of himself at the White House with Biden and bragged, "We joined VP @JoeBiden for a discussion at the @WhiteHouse #CVESummit which kicked off today." 

One of his more controversial proclamations came in the wake of 9/11, when al-Marayati pointed a finger at Israel. 

"If we're going to look at suspects [for 9/11], we should look to the groups that benefit the most from these kinds of incidents, and I think we should put the state of Israel on the suspect list because I think this diverts attention from what's happening in the Palestinian territories so that they can go on with their aggression and occupation and apartheid policies," he said in a radio interview shortly after the attacks in 2001, according to the Los Angeles Times. 

Here;  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/02/18/muslim-leader-who-called-israel-suspect-after-11-attends-white-house-summit/

It would seem that Team Obama continues to believe that Muslims with radical thoughts aren't a problem...while maintaining that the Jewish nation is a problem.

Sadly, too many people on Team Obama continue to believe that Islam isn't a problem...even though it's founder was a pedophile who had no problem using murder and violence to spread its beliefs.

Up is down, down is up, wrong is right and right is wrong

ISIS Burns 45 People to Death

Satan is ramping it up now!  He's got Egypt bombing in Libya and now we read this;

Islamic State militants reportedly have burned to death 45 people in the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi on Tuesday, just five miles away from an air base staffed by hundreds of U.S. Marines.

The identities of the victims are not clear, the local police chief told the BBC, but some are believed to be among the security forces that have been clashing with ISIS for control of the town. ISIS fighters reportedly captured most of the town last week.

Col. Qasim Obeidi, pleading for help from the Iraqi government and international community, said a compound that houses families of security personnel and officials is now under siege.

The reports come days after ISIS released a video purportedly showing the beheadings of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians along a beach in Libya, sparking an international outcry, including commendation from Pope Francis, who called the killings "barbaric.”

Oregon Gets Bisexual Governor

As we have been saying...once you change the definition of marriage from "one man and one woman", are you going to limit it to just two people?  Isn't that discriminating against the bisexual people who are hopelessly in lust for more than one?

LGBT....all the focus has been on gays and transgender....but how about the bisexual folks?

Here is article;  http://news.yahoo.com/kate-brown-oregons-governor-boosts-b-lgbt-community-163104485.html

Turmoil in Oregon over Gov. John Kitzhaber’s forced resignation under an ethical cloud brings with it a historic national first at the intersection of politics and sexual identity.

Gov. Kitzhaber’s replacement – Secretary of State Kate Brown – will be the first openly bisexual governor in UShistory.

Ten or 20 years ago, that might have been a major point of contention, or perhaps even a scandal of its own. But rapid advances in gay rights, including same-sex marriage, shifting public attitudes (especially among younger Americans), plus the growing number of openly gay and lesbian elected and appointed officials prompts a “no big deal” attitude among most Oregonians. House Speaker Tina Kotek is openly gay.

Ms. Brown, 54, who lives in Portland with her husband of 15 years Dan Little and two stepchildren, has been open about her sexuality throughout her long political career, including years in the state legislature where she served as Senate Majority Leader – the first woman in the state to hold that position.

While gay rights have been expanding at the national and state level, bisexual people – the “B” in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community – have had particular challenges.

Fred Sainz, vice president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), says bisexuals may in some respects face greater challenges than gays and lesbians.

"To the extent that they're out, they may well be more so the victims of scorn because they get it from both gay and straight people," Mr. Sainz told the Associated Press. "Gays want them to make a choice, and straights consider them gay, so in many ways they face increased amounts of stigma and discrimination."

HRC legal director Sarah Warbelow, who is bisexual, puts it another way.

"On one hand, there's assumption that bi people are never happy in any relationship and need to have multiple partners," she told the AP. "On the other hand, you've got people who say it's not real – it's an in-between existence until you figure out who you really are when you grow up."

Gary Gates, a demographer at the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute, estimated in 2011 that about 1.8 percent of the adult population, or a little more than 4 million Americans, identifies as bisexual – slightly more than the number identifying as gay or lesbian.

The news about Brown and her personal life comes as the “T” in the LGBT community – transgender people – are becoming a greater part of the social, political, and legal conversation about human sexuality as well.

Anti-Semitic Slurs Painted on Homes in WI

It's funny....Muslims are tearing apart large parts of planet earth but yet Jew hatred continues to explode.

Here:  http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/02/thirty-madison-wisconsin-homes-spraypainted-with-anti-semitic-slurs/

There have been over thirty confirmed antisemitic incidents reported in Wisconsin in 2014.
JS Online reported:

There were 33 confirmed incidents of anti-Semitism of those reported in 2014, compared with 13 a year earlier, the audit says.

They included an unprecedented number of swastikas drawn on public and private property, continued harassment of Jewish middle and high school students, and attacks on Zionism and Israel that went beyond legitimate political criticism to attack Jews personally, according to the audit.

Among the confirmed incidents:

■At least nine swastikas were drawn, carved or painted at various places, including public streets, the driveway of a Jewish high school student’s home and in an elevator of a Jewish institution. Swastikas and a Star of David were carved at two golf greens, causing $5,000 in damage. Another included a reference to “1488,” a known white supremacist symbol.

■A man entered a Jewish facility shouting “All Jews will (expletive) burn.”

■At one business, a hairdresser told a potential client that she doesn’t cut “Jewish hair.” At another, an employee called his boss a “stingy Jew” when he refused to give him a raise.

Copenhagen & Libya

I'm blogging from my i Pad until Thursday so will be brief in my comments as typing, cutting and pasting is slow.

Followers of Islam have made the headlines again today...and not for charity, peace and tolerance.  Nope!

On Saturday a gunman attacked a free-speech debate hosted by controversial Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks.

One man - identified by Danish media as film director Finn Norgaard, 55 - was killed and and three police officers wounded.

Officials said the gunman fled by car. A black Volkswagen Polo was found abandoned a short distance away.

Police said the gunman then called a taxi to take him home.

Hours later, a gunman opened fire outside a synagogue in Krystalgade street, about 5km from the scene of the first attack, killing a Jewish man and wounding two police officers.

The victim was named as Dan Uzan, 37. He had been on security duty while a bat mitzvah ceremony was taking place inside the synagogue.

Early on Sunday, police said they had been keeping the Norrebro address under observation, waiting for the occupant to return.

When the man appeared, he saw the officers, pulled out a gun and opened fire, police said. They returned fire and shot him dead.

Here:  http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31475803

Of course USA Today stumbled over itself today to not say the word MUSLIM as it described the scene in Denmark.

One of those killed was a Jew and Netanyahu is now calling on the Jews of Europe to come home to Israel saying the attacks are only going to increase.

Here:  http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4626738,00.html

Also, it appears that ISIS has spread to Libya as they release video of 21 Egyptian Christians being beheaded.

Libya is interesting because they are a mentioned player in Ezekiel 38.
