ACLU Boss Quits After Seeing Men Use Women's Room

Even some major liberals know they have overstepped the boundaries on allowing men in drag to hang out in the same rest room and locker room with little girls.  Turns out the little girls are scared when men dressed as women show up in the bathroom with them!

Said one surprised liberal, "Those little girls should be ashamed of themselves for being scared of 6 foot tall women who spoke like men but were obviously dressed like women in dresses and wigs!  Shame!  Shame! Shame! you hateful, little, racist, sexist, transphobic black girls!"

The American Civil Liberties Union’s state director in Georgia has resigned after her young daughters were “visibly frightened” and concerned for their safety when three men dressed in drag entered the women’s restroom with them.

Maya Dillard Smith, whose resignation was first reported by Atlanta Progressive News, wrote: “I have shared my personal experience of having taken my elementary school age daughters into a women’s restroom when shortly after three transgender young adults, over six feet [tall] with deep voices, entered.

“My children were visibly frightened, concerned about their safety and left asking lots of questions for which I, like many parents, was ill-prepared to answer,” she continued.

Smith — who was one of just three African-American state directors in the ACLU and describes herself as “unapologetically black” — said that she could no longer work for the organization, which was been a staunch advocate of allowing men who self-identify as women to use whichever bathroom they please.

Wow!  Let's watch and see the death threats, slurs and personal attacks that come from the "tolerant" liberals on this black lady who simply is trying to tell her personal experience and communicate the palpable fear her daughters experienced.

Three False Gods of the End Times are Back

If you were Rip Van Winkle and had been asleep for the last 20 years, you would wake up and discover that the world you knew and the America you had fallen asleep in simply don't exist anymore.

You would be thoroughly confused as you look around.  People walk around with cell phones hooked to their heads, gay marriage is legal, houses are huge, every house in the suburbs has 3-4 cars plus a boat, churches are empty, Christmas celebrations in public are frowned upon or illegal, men can dress as women and use any shower room that make them comfortable, 1/3 of Americans have a sexually transmitted disease, Muslim terrorism is a daily discussion, black people are rioting because black criminals are being shot, a Marxist is garnering millions of votes and the atheist population is exploding as our public schools begin indoctrinating our kids at age 4.

So what's up with that?  How could this entire country turned so fast on a dime?

Could it be that the demonic-gods of ancient times have finally gotten enough traction in America that they are causing a real godless mess?

The world is experiencing troubled times of confusion and perplexity. Suddenly, long-running trends have stopped or reversed. Past policies are no longer effective. Therefore, policymakers and leaders are frustrated, desperately searching for new solutions. On the one hand, “collective mankind” is prideful. The trends of globalization, globalism, monetarism, and advances in science and technology, etc. have brought about a shrinking planet and many conveniences. Viewed over millennia of history, secular humanity sees itself at a far advanced state — sure that things are destined to keep getting better and better.

However, there is now another narrative to consider … actually, one that is reluctantly forcing itself to be considered in recent times. Most of the factors that had appeared to contribute to humanity’s late great greatness seem to have shifted into neutral or reverse. Policymakers and analysts are coming to realize that some achievements were nothing more than hubris; others incorrectly diagnosed.

Of course, as it was, it was never true that humanity was without its troubles. What of the many new epidemics of dysfunction that have emerged worldwide over recent decades (for example mental depression, grossly unequal wealth distribution, obesity … to name some major ones)? Alongside the celebration of humanism of the past century, wars and strife of many kinds did not subside, among these two world wars.

We do not want to appear churlish by just focusing on the negatives. Mankind indeed has achieved some noteworthy advances. After all, God has blessed humans with skills and creativity. The LORD said “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground […] in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:26-27).

Moreover, God engaged mankind to "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it” (verse 28). Mankind here is clearly implored to “subdue” the earth. To do so, therefore, is not necessarily an ungodly endeavor. In fact, mankind is even capable of achieving things far beyond what the LORD had intended to be ideal. Consider the “advanced-technology” story of the building of the tower of Babel.

The people of that era (living not long after the flood) “[…] said to each other, ‘Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.’ They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth’” (Genesis 11:3-5).

We see here how the people of that day quickly translated their achievements into arrogance and the celebration of self-determination without God. So the same today. The values, attitudes and choices that mankind makes hold consequences. The point we make is that while mankind is indeed capable of great feats, technological and otherwise, arrogance and ungodly world views will lead to deterioration, disappointment and eventually destruction.

Why? There are many linkages to which we could point. However, suffice it to simply say this: God is a jealous God. This is — and must be — the character of the Creator. He will share His glory with no other. Ungodliness brings the seeds of self-destruction.

Seventeen years ago we wrote a series (much of which found its way into the book The Endtime Money Snare: How to Live Free) on the topic of “The Three False Gods of the Last Days.” It was based upon Daniel 11:36 to 39. There, Daniel explains the future actions of the Antichrist in terms of several false gods.

Here is an excerpt: “He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god […]” (Daniel 11:37-39).

In this text, three false gods are mentioned — the “unknown” god, the “foreign” god and the god of “fortresses.” In essence, these three gods being consorted with were really the mirror-reflections of mankind’s idolatries (false gods). We identified them as SCITE, GLOBO, and MOFI. The god of “fortresses” was SCITE (representing the idolatry of Science and Technology); the “foreign” god was GLOBO (Globalism, representing the common ark of united global man); and the “unknown” god was MOFI (the idolatrous system of monetary finance).

The short-form names may sound cute; however, the impact of these last day idolatries is not. The world therefore experiences great economic oppression, confusion and deception.

Says the Psalmist: “Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain” (Psalms 127:1).

 Most people in the world today would be content with this simple promise alone: “You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours” (Psalm 128:2).


 Couldn’t policymakers achieve this state? It sounds simple. Ungodliness, corruption, and mass idolatries stand in the way.

The author of the above article used to work on Wall Street for some huge investment firms so he is very familiar with how the "money-magicians" trick all the markets and push and pull wealth in the areas they desire.

Jesus spoke much about money.  Probably because he knew it would be such a trap for His followers.

I believe all who follow Christ need to ask ourselves every day how much of our time, talents and efforts go into the "cares of this world and the desire for riches" vs. doing the Great Commission that all followers are commanded to do?

There can be no doubt that the reason America has fallen into its current quagmire is because too many of us who have claimed to be Christ followers simply did not do a good enough job keeping the Light of Jesus Christ shining brightly.  And in the absence of light....darkness rushes back in.

John 15:19
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

Voting For the Lesser of Two Evils

As the Trump vs. Hillary election of the century continues to heat up, I have already heard comments from Bible-believers, "How can I vote for either one?  Do I really have to choose the least-worst candidate and pull the lever? How can I vote for a known liar...which they both are?"

So what is a follower of Jesus supposed to do in America these days?...stay home and not vote simply because we don't like our choices?

Below are some comments from one Christian who says he will not vote because he can't vote for evil...and both candidates are evil.

Should We Vote for the Lesser Evil of Donald Trump to Avoid the Greater Evil of Hillary Clinton?

When it comes to elections, people, especially Christians, more often than not, vote for the candidate who most represents their character, principles and values.

Now that the field of presidential candidates has been reduced to two likely choices representing each of their parties, many Christians are now promoting Trump in order to stop Hillary. This includes those whom Trump was not their first choice. They call it voting for the lesser of two evils.

Here's an example of the rallying cry these Christians are making for Trump:

They say President Barack Obama has brought our nation literally to the edge of death and destruction, which is true. They say that if Hillary Clinton is allowed by the American people to follow him, she will double down. They say if there is a Hillary presidency, there will be full-blown socialistic fascism in America within the next several years—we're talking Hitler-Mussolini style fascism.

Here are some of their talking points:

1. Hillary will come after our guns as she said she would, even with executive orders if necessary.

2. Christians will be persecuted and prosecuted for standing and speaking their convictions, period.

3. The IRS, Homeland Security, and the Health and Family Services will become the American Gestapo (to a great degree they already are—the clerk in Kentucky going to jail is just the beginning).

4. The LGBT is already materialistic, but they will be more emboldened under Hillary. They have a completely galvanized and streamlined strategy to bring wholesale perversion to and through the school system.

5. Democratic socialism will continue to transition into full-blown communism.

6. The Muslim brotherhood will entrench deeper into Washington, D.C., and across the entire USA.

7. Our southern border will be completely open and unrestrained.

8. Our national debt will continue to skyrocket.

9. Our military will continue to be degraded, demoralized and incapacitated.

Here is a direct quote from one of them:

"With another round of Democratic 'leadership' in the White House you will not even know what country you are in. It simply cannot happen. That's why those saying 'Never Trump' are not using sound judgment or reasoning."

"Oh really?"

We who disagree with this supposed logic might as well put a gun to our own heads, right?

Pretty convincing argument, though, isn't it? Personally, I'm not buying any of it.

Many Christians made their bed hard already by not voting for any of the principled leaders that represented the Republican party. They refused to vote the way the Bible tells us to vote.

"Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens" (Ex. 18:21).

Now they want true conservatives to vote for the lesser of two evils. Ha! The lesser of two evils is still evil! How can anyone in good conscience vote for evil? I've made that mistake before, and I refuse to make it again.     

This is what the evangelicals have done election after election with the Republican Party. Though we do not condone its sins, we keep enabling them with our votes, much like unwise parents enable their children to get away with disobedience and rebellion until it becomes a monster in their teenage years that is most difficult to slay.

Here is what a new and upcoming young Christian conservative voice recently articulated so well, which I believe is worthy of prayerful consideration.  

"In the same way, we criticize this sort of behavior on the left when black voters voted for Obama in mass because of the fear and guilt of betraying their party line; we are guilty on the right of the same situational ethic, the same enabling of evil and compromise, and bad behavior. We argue and scream: 'You have to vote for Trump to stop Hillary!'

"The reality is that we enabled the problem when we got in line behind John McCain, who after becoming the Republican candidate, laid aside his 'conservative' credentials and adopted Democratic Party talking points all the way to the end of his failed candidacy. Four years later, we enabled the problem again when we got in line behind Mitt Romney, who after becoming the Republican candidate, demonstrated his 'etch-a-sketch' flip-flopping skills as he ran even further left than McCain, even running pro-choice ads in the general election. Guess what? He failed as a candidate as well.

"Today we face an election with the binary option of choosing between two progressives: Hillary or Trump. Has there ever been a worse Republican candidate? Have we ever so utterly abandoned conservatism to be on the winning team choosing between two scandalously awful candidates? Have we ever so utterly abandoned the Bible, the Constitution, right-and-wrong, etc., to win an election? It is a disgrace! A disgrace we enabled and created with our lesser-of-two-evils voting logic.

"Today there is no candidate in the two major parties who represents Christians, (or even conservatism, the biblical application of a Christian worldview). Why? We have enabled sin and tolerated evil in our political parties, instead of drawing a line in the sand and saying 'No more!!!'

"The journey we have been on illustrates this political as well as spiritual reality: Nothing will make America great again short of the full conversion of its people. Some pastors are waking up to the reality that our churches are full of unconverted people because we have tolerated sin to boost church attendance. Now our churches are so biblically illiterate, if the pastor were to reverse course and stand for righteousness, he loses his seat at the table of his full-blown pagan congregation of idolaters. The mob has taken over and the pastor is just a hireling.

"In the political world, we have pet the demons within our party instead of exposing them and casting them out. We have adopted and constantly chant the mantra of: 'We aren't electing a pastor-in-chief'; because we are foolish enough to compartmentalize our faith, believing that we convert people politically in a different manner than what the Bible prescribes for conversion in general.

"In this election, the reason I am not voting Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is simple: I will not enable America's destruction. I care more about converting its people to Christ and true conservatism, character and principle than abandoning my core convictions to join with evil. There may be short-term pain as a consequence for my decision, but I'm not going to stare at my feet this election cycle. There is a bigger picture and a more long-term turn-around process that is required and it has to begin with a righteous standard.

"Christians, we have already failed this election season. It's time to stop playing the enabling-game. It's time to say no to both evils and take our stand." –Rev. Chace Gordon (paraphrased)

While I agree with this author that the Christians' main job while here on earth is spreading the GOOD NEWS and converting its people to Jesus Christ...we still have to live in a fallen world which means we make decisions ALL THE TIME that may go against your conscience.

Did you shop at Target last week?  You did?  Well, Target gives million to LGBT!!  So by giving them your money....you voted for evil.

Did you watch FOX NEWS this week?  You did?  Well, FOX Network also produces some of the trashiest, adulterous, crap on TV and shoves it down your kid's throat...so if you watched FOX you increased their ratings and gave them more money to produce more crap that is filling your kid's mind with evil thoughts!!

Do you have a FACEBOOK account?  You do?  Are you aware that Facebook is one of the main players to convert our kids to liberalism and godlessness?  So if you use Facebook you are voting for evil.

Do you have an APPLE iPhone or computer?  You do??  Then clearly you know that Apple gives enormous money to LGBT causes and their recently deceased president was openly gay and a huge spokesman for gay rights....so if you have an iPhone then you voted for evil.

Did you buy your wife a diamond wedding ring?  You did??  Have you watched the movie BLOOD DIAMONDS to figure out the evil-greed-slavery that goes into digging those diamonds out of the ground?  Do you realize that the sign of your love you gave to your wife is supporting evil?

Ummmm....I think you get my point.

I am going to vote this fall for President, Congress and anything else I am asked to vote on.  It may be a failed system and I may be choosing the lesser of two evils...but isn't that what we do EVERY SINGLE DAY while we are living on planet earth?  You simply can't avoid it....because the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

1 John 5:19 
We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

Men Who Think They are Puppies

Some men think they are women and enjoy putting on panties, lipstick, high heels and even fake breasts.  Some of them find it sexually arousing and some of them prefer sex with other men while some enjoy having sex with women.  These people are called TRANSGENDER and have been in the news a lot these last few months.

Some men think they are puppies.  They enjoy dressing up like puppies and being treated like puppies.  Some find it sexually arousing...but we aren't quite sure what they have sex with once they are aroused.  These men call themselves TRANS-SPECIES and you better accept them and not question their mental health or you will be called a TRANSPHOBIC, RACIST, HATER!

As "trans" quickly leaps to the top of culture vernacular, thousands of men now embrace the term "trans-species" as they indulge in "pet play." 

The UK's Channel 4's latest documentary, which airs Wednesday night, delves into the secret lives of men who now identify as puppies. Yes, puppies.  

The doc features Tom, who now goes by Spot. He now sleeps in a crate lined with puppy pads. Tom dumped his fiancee because he could no longer resist the call of the wild.  

"Rachel thought I was becoming gay," Tom says. But, "A tiny bit of me regrets being a puppy because I lost what I had." 

But puppy play is not just about lounging around waiting for snacks and belly rubs.

"When you're into it, you ignore what's going on around you in terms of money and food," Tom said. "It's not sexual, it's just escapism to get away from everything that's run of the mill." 

Documentary director Guy Simmonds says he stumbled across pictures of the human pups online, which sparked the idea for the film.  

"At first I thought it was just one or two guys behind closed doors doing this thing, but actually there's a big thriving community. Who are very out and proud about what they do," Simmonds told The Sun.

Even the director says sex is part of the equation.  

"For them it's about being more primal and escaping the stresses of a more hectic world. Putting a mask on and becoming someone else, it appeals to some people. And it's a welcoming, accepting community," Simmonds tells Newsweek.

Here;  http://www.charismanews.com/world/57408-trans-species-new-documentary-explores-thriving-community-of-men-who-think-they-re-puppies

And there's a big surprise!!  Turns out these sick-puppies have been emboldened by the LGBT pride movement so that now they are VERY OUT AND PROUD about what they do!!

Also we find that while some men think they are puppies that other men think they are kitty-cats!  We just wonder if Target is going to come forward and announce that they are going to have litter boxes set aside in all bathrooms so that the kitty-cats can use whatever restroom that they feel comfortable using?

So if you are a woman shopping in Target next month, don't be surprised if you see a man dressed in a cat costume taking a crap in a litter box in the corner of the women's room..  Feel free to pet the cat while he's pooping and maybe even offer him a cat treat so he feels welcome, safe, comfortable and accepted.

"We at Target want all of our customers and team members to know that Target never discriminates against ANY gender or species.  Effective immediately Target will be putting litter boxes and newspapers down in all rest rooms and changing rooms for our TRANS-SPECIES customers and team members.  We realize that kittens and puppies sometimes can't make it to the bathroom so to accommodate them we are setting up toileting options in the dressing rooms and also on the floor of the Sporting Goods Department.  So please be respectful if you see any woman or man urinating or defecating on a newspaper on the floor....chances are they are really puppies!"

Tension Between USA and China Creates Unstable World

History shows us that nations don't typically just start shooting at each other just out of the blue. Wars are the result of conflict and tension that has built up over time.  And many times the conflict starts with currency wars, then moves to trade wars and when one nation has had enough of the economic pain caused by the trade war....they start shooting and it erupts into a real war.

The world is currently focused on the atrocities being fomented by ISIS and figuring out how we can get all the Allah Akbar! screamers to quit gassing, raping, pillaging and disrupting huge portions of the Middle East...BUT....what if the real danger coming to America isn't ISIS but the growing conflict with China over currency, trade and the island building China is doing in the South China Sea?

What happens when the two largest economies on the planet start fighting a trade war with one another?  Well, we are about to find out.  As you will see below, the U.S. has gone "nuclear" on China in a trade dispute over steel, and the Chinese response is likely to be at least as strong.  

Meanwhile, events in the South China Sea have brought tensions between the Chinese government and the Obama administration to a boiling point.  The Obama administration strongly insists that China does not have a legal right to those islands, and in China there is now talk that it may ultimately be necessary to confront the United States militarily in order keep control of them.  

Most Americans may not realize this, but the relationship between the United States and China is officially going down the tubes, and this is likely to have very significant consequences during the years to come.

Let's start with the trade war that has erupted.  About a week ago, we learned that the Obama administration had decided to "go nuclear" on China by imposing a 522 percent duty on cold-rolled steel from China that is used in certain kinds of manufacturing...

In some regard, China has reason to be angry: the US unleashed what is nothing short of a nuclear bomb in its rapidly escalating trade war with China, and recently imposed duties of 522% on cold-rolled steel used in automobiles and other manufacturing,  In doing so it has rendered Chinese exports to the US unsustainable and will force even more excess Chinese production to remain landlocked within China's borders, making the domestic glut, and price collapse, that much worse.

Subsequently, it was announced that a 450 percent duty will be imposed on corrosion-resistant steel from China...

Corrosion-resistant steel from China will face final U.S. anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties of up to 450 percent under the U.S. Commerce Department's latest clampdown on a glut of steel imports, the agency said on Wednesday.

Needless to say, the Chinese are less than amused, because these "shock and awe" trade duties were clearly designed to punish China.

And of course the truth is that China has been abusing us for years, so there is definitely a case to be made that they deserve even harsher treatment.  However, we need to keep in mind that the Chinese will retaliate for this.  And when they retaliate, it will likely be quite painful for us.  But for the moment, they are just issuing vague threats...

China's Commerce Ministry said it was extremely dissatisfied at what it called the "irrational" move by the United States, which it said would harm cooperation between the two countries.

"China will take all necessary steps to strive for fair treatment and to protect the companies' rights," it said, without elaborating.

Meanwhile, events in the South China Sea continue to push the United States and China toward conflict.  Let me summarize a few of the most important things that we have seen over the past month...

-In early May, Chinese authorities refused to give permission to the U.S.S. John C. Stennis battle group to make a routine port call at Hong Kong.  The Chinese had not turned away a U.S. aircraft carrier in almost a decade, and many believe that this was in direct response to comments that U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter had made regarding China's territorial claims in the South China Sea.

-Subsequently, the Obama administration sent the U.S.S. William P. Lawrence sailing within 12 nautical miles of the disputed islands in the South China Sea.  This was the third time that Obama has sent naval vessels cruising by those islands, and it provoked an extremely angry response from China.

-Just last week, two Chinese fighters and a U.S. spy plane nearly collided in mid-air approximately 50 miles away from Hainan island.  This incident made headlines all over the planet.

Most Americans seem to believe that the Chinese are our "friends", but in China the perspective is completely different.

The Chinese consider the United States to be their number one long-term strategic adversary, and they have been working feverishly to prepare for a future conflict with us.

For example, China just conducted a successful test of a new hypersonic glide vehicle that we do not have any defense against.  The following comes from the Washington Free Beacon...

China successfully flight tested its new high-speed maneuvering warhead last week, days after Russia carried out its own hypersonic glider test, according to Pentagon officials.

The test of the developmental DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle was monitored after launch Friday atop a ballistic missile fired from the Wuzhai missile launch center in central China, said officials familiar with reports of the test.

The maneuvering glider, traveling at several thousand miles per hour, was tracked by satellites as it flew west along the edge of the atmosphere to an impact area in the western part of the country.

Let us hope that a full-blown shooting war with China does not erupt any time soon, but the reality is that we are already locked in a conflict with the Chinese on a number of different levels.

Here;  http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=370

Yes!  Let us hope that we don't get into a full blown shooting war with China!

No China is not our friend.  They have an entire branch of their military devoted to hacking into US corporations trying to steal patented technology.  They have successfully hacked in and stolen hundred of billions worth of trade secrets and patents and clearly have no problem producing knock-off products that they sell for a fraction of the cost of the real thing.  So they steal our intellectual property, set up a factory to produce it, hire workers for a fraction of the cost, then put it on a boat and ship it to America for us to buy and then use their trader surplus to purchase US Treasury Bonds which one day they may use as a lever to punish our financial markets or implode the US dollar.

Sound good?

"Dennis, why do you have to constantly point out the bad things that could happen or are happening in America?  Can't you just be happy that gas is cheap and that Americans are buying pickups and SUV's like they are going out of style...again?  And that real estate has rebounded and people are once again making big bucks on selling their homes?...or that the stock market has come roaring back making everyone feel better?"

Yep....it seems that Americans have already forgotten what 2007-2009 felt like.  The good times are here again!...and THIS TIME they will never disappear!....because we have FAITH that the FEDERAL RESERVE can simply wave it's magic wand and FIX everything in our economy by PRINTING MONEY thereby guaranteeing we NEVER have a recession again!!

Friends, I certainly hope that America doesn't implode while most of us sit here enjoying our lives of abundance and relative ease...BUT it is my hope that my readers will fully understand how tenuous our situation is and that our wealth and lives of ease could vanish in a day.  Once we realize that we can then start to come out of the American dream...which has turned into the American delusion.

The next step would be for followers of Christ to say, "If my life of ease and wealth in America suddenly came to an end....would I still follow Christ?...or would my faith be in total crisis if we ended up like Venezuela?"

Another good question we all need to ask ourselves, "If this American dream we have all been chasing for most of our lives has occupied so much of my time...how much time, effort and treasure have I put into making disciples for Christ?"...which is really the ONLY reason Jesus has left us on this earth.

Don't Listen to Ruling Elite, Global Economy is in Real Trouble

According to the media the world economy is in great shape.  And if you start to ask questions like why interest rates are at 0%, you will be told to shut up and focus on the great economy we are all enjoying.

But is it really healthy?  Or is it all just a temporary mirage waiting to fall apart with the next hiccup?

Authored by Andy Xie, the former Morgan Stanley chief Asia-Pacific economist, originally posted Op-Ed at The South China Morning Post,

Andy Xie says the world's elite that are attending the G7, G20, Davos and other wasteful meetings are wrong to try to pin the blame for the turmoil on people’s psychology; all signs point to a prolonged period of global stagnation and instability.

Before the current G7 meetings waste of time, The G20 working group meeting in Shanghai didn’t come up with any constructive proposals for reviving the global economy and, instead, complained that the recent market turmoil didn’t reflect the “underlying fundamentals of the global economy”. The oil price has declined by 70 per cent since June 2014, while the Brazilian real has halved, and the Russian rouble is down by 60 per cent. The global economy is on the cusp of another recession, and these important people blamed it all on some sort of psychological problem of the people.

Over the past two decades, the global economy has been blessed with the entry and participation of 800 million hard-working Chinese, plus the information revolution. The pie should have increased enough in size to make most people happier. Yet, the opposite has happened. The world has gone from one crisis to another. People are complaining everywhere. This is due to mismanagement by the very people who attend the G20 meetings, the Davos boondoggle, and so many other global meetings that waste taxpayers’ money and put inept leaders in the limelight.

One major complaint that people have is that the system is rigged – that is, the rising income concentration is not due to free market competition, but a rigged system that favours the politically powerful. This is largely true. The new billionaires over the past two decades have come mostly from finance and property. Few made it the way Steve Jobs or Bill Gates did, creating something that makes people more productive.

The most important factor in the rigged system is monetary policy being used to pump up financial markets in the name of stimulating growth for people’s benefit. This is essentially the trickle-down wealth effect, that is, making some people in the financial food chain rich while the spillover gives people a few crumbs. Yet, instead of crumbs, the wealth effect has pumped up property prices in Manhattan, London and Hong Kong, as well as the price of modern art. Essentially, the wealth effect has stayed within the small circle of the wealthy. And these people show up at Davos to congratulate policymakers on their “successes”.

Wasting resources is an equally important factor in making the global economy weak and prone to crisis. After the 2008 financial crisis, the US government and Federal Reserve spent trillions of dollars to bail out the people who created the crisis. Instead of facing bankruptcy and jail, these people have become richer than ever. Predictably, they have used their resources to rig the system further.

After 2008, when Beijing launched a massive investment push, the global ruling elite all praised China for saving the global economy. China has increased credit by over US$20 trillion to finance the construction of factories and homes. However, investment does not guarantee final demand. The process of building up a factory creates demand. But, when it is completed, it needs to sell its goods to someone. What China did was build even more factories to keep this factory occupied. This Ponzi scheme couldn’t last long. We are just seeing the beginning of its devastating consequences.

As we have said numerous times, we don't believe that the global financial condition is going to deteriorate into a global meltdown that wipes away the wealth of millions and collapses the USA...not yet anyway.

But we do believe that all folks who love Jesus and want to follow Him should be aware that this financial system that we live in and enjoy is just a mirage.  If you love it too much you WILL BE DISAPPOINTED when it all lets you down.

The more time we spend reading the Bible and concerning ourselves about making disciples and building the kingdom should mean that we become less interested in the wealth and material things of earth.

As the hymn says, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace."

Yep!  The printed money and $0's made by the earth's central bankers these past 8 years are very dim indeed.

Beat Your Wives Lightly

Pakistan has been in the news a lot in the last few years.  Christian persecution is growing there.

Today we read that the Islamic Council of Pakistan says a man can "lightly beat his wife" if she refuses to have sex with him.

A Pakistani Islamic council has sparked outrage after suggesting husbands may “lightly beat” their wives as a form of discipline in their draft of a women’s protection bill.

In the draft bill, released on Thursday, the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) said it was permissible to beat a woman lightly should he need to punish her.

"A husband should be allowed to lightly beat his wife if she defies his commands and refuses to dress up as per his desires; turns down demand of intercourse without any religious excuse or does not take bath after intercourse or menstrual periods," Pakistan's Express-Tribune reports citing the proposal.

Formed in 1962, the CII is a constitutional body that advises parliament on the compatibility of laws with Sharia.

Its proposed bill is deemed to be a response to the Punjab Protection of Women Against Violence Bill 2015, which redefines "violence" to include "any offence committed against a woman" and provides a toll free help line for women, after the council said it was "un-Islamic".

The 163-point draft bill reportedly bans women from appearing in television or print advertising and female nurses from treating male patients. It would also allow husbands to forbid their wives from visiting other men except relatives.

The draft has been lambasted by Pakistani media and women’s rights activists, who have dubbed the report as “ridiculous”.

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), called for the council of "zealots" to be disbanded, saying: "It is difficult to comprehend why anyone in his right mind would think that any further encouragement or justification is needed to invite violence upon women in Pakistan,” AFP reports.

The HRCP estimates 70 per cent of Pakistani women have suffered domestic violence.

Just one other example of the insanity of the liberals insisting the Islam is a "Religion of peace".

Where are the feminists from The West protesting the Muslim leaders in Pakistan?

There are none.

Why isn't Saturday Night Live continually making funny skits lambasting Islam and the stupid things they do in Allah's name?

Because they are scared to offend the "religion of peace".

So why do they feel free to make fun of Jesus and Christians like Tim Tebow?

Because they aren't afraid of offending followers of Christ.

Sweden's Migrant Rape Crisis

Sweden used to be on the safest, least-crime nations in the world.  But now in the past few years they have allowed a few hundred thousand Muslim "migrants" into their country....and rape has gone up over 1500%.

And of course, the uber-liberals making the laws in Sweden say that it's illegal to keep track of the ethnic and religious background of the rapers....so all they can say is that "a woman was raped by 6 men."  They can't say, "A Swedish, white, blond woman from Stockholm was gang raped by 6 men from Syria who chanted Allah Akbar as they beat and raped her."  But most of the locals know exactly what is going on.  However, it appears it may be too late for those locals to stop the flood of Muslim men flooding into Sweden.

Did you notice on the video how many "no go" places were referenced on the map?  These are places in Sweden that are dominated by Muslims where the police and ambulance service simply can't go or they will be pelted with rocks and driven out of town.

Poor liberals.  They have made a toxic porridge using a recipe that stems from godlessness and the failed world view that believes "people are generally good"...no matter their religion, upbringing or worldview.....and real soon France, UK and Sweden are going to be forced to drink a huge bowl of that poison porridge.

Of course the Bible tells us the exact opposite in that all people are actually born selfish, lying, perverted little sinners and if they aren't raised in a society that embraced Judeo-Christian values, at some point in their recent history, ALL people have the inner capacity and desire to rape, loot, steal, kill and then rationalize and justify their behavior.

And Islam, once again, is proving that it is not a religion of peace that is compatible with Judeo-Christian values...DESPITE the liberals incessant scream that it is...and if you disagree with them you have a good chance of being called a racist, intolerant bigot.
