Could Russia Destroy America With a Single Nuke?

It is being reported that Russia has successfully tested a nuclear weapon that could destroy a land mass the size of Texas...in one blow.  The blast would be 2000 times more powerful than the bombs we dropped on Japan during WWII.

The Russians also just had a nuclear war drill a few weeks ago that involved 40,000,000 people and have also announced that they could take all 12,000,000 citizens of Moscow and house them in bomb shelters.

So WHAT exactly are they preparing for?

As tensions rise between Russia and the United States and Cold War fears return, Russia revealed a terrifying new addition to its nuclear arsenal, aptly dubbed Satan 2. Verses in the Book of Isaiah describing in detail what can only be nuclear destruction are suddenly relevant as never before as the hell weapon’s capabilities come to light.
This week, Russia revealed that it had successfully tested the RS-28, a super-heavy thermonuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missile. Containing 16 warheads, the Satan 2 delivers a blast of 40 megatons, 2,000 times more powerful than the atom bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. It is capable of wiping out a landmass “the size of Texas or France,” according to a report by the Russian Sputnik news agency.
The delivery system has a range of over 6,000 miles at 4.3 miles per second, putting the East and West Coasts of the US within range. There are plans to incorporate Project 4202, a Russian hypersonic glider warhead carrier that can deliver the nuclear payload at an astonishing Mach 7, or over 5,300 MPH. It is doubtful that existing missile defense systems can cope with a threat travelling at such speeds.
"But Dennis, God would never allow that to happen!  He is a God of love!"

Ummm....let's read what God says is coming for planet earth....

Matthew 24
21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
Of course our blessed hope is that Jesus will have come for His Bride at least 7 years earlier...so maranatha!

Another "Revolutionary War" If Clinton Wins White House?

We already know that a nation divided will not stand for long.  And there can be no doubt that America is about as divided as she can be...so what might be coming in our future if Donald or Hillary is elected?

Donald Trump supporters are threatening “another Revolutionary War” if he loses the November 8 presidential election to Hillary Clinton.

The sentiments add to fears that, if the Democrat nominee wins, many Trump voters will not respect the result.
During the third and final presidential debate last week, Mr Trump refused to confirm whether he would accept the election result. He has repeatedly maintained the election is rigged as part of a media conspiracy.
A new Associated Press-GfK poll found that 64 per cent of Mr Trump's supporters said they were more likely to have serious doubts about the accuracy of the vote count if the Republican nominee is not the victor.
“People are going to march on the capitols,” Jared Halbrook, 25, told the New York Times. “They’re going to do whatever needs to be done to get her out of office, because she does not belong there.”
Earlier this month, a woman named Rhonda said at a Mike Pence rally that she was "ready for a revolution" if Mrs Clinton wins.
“One of the things that I can tell you that a lot of us are scared of is this voter fraud. There’s a lot of out here saying that when we vote, we’re going to wear red. Our lives depend on this election. Our kids’ futures depend on this election. For me personally, if Hillary Clinton gets in, I myself am ready for a revolution,” she said
As you read articles like this it makes one wonder if the very foundations of America are being shaken?

Strange Messages Coming From Stars are Probably Aliens Say Scientists

There can be no doubt that humans on planet earth are being prepared to accept the fact that alien life exists on numerous other planets in the universe.

See this headline today;  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/aliens-proof-evidence-facts-stars-scientists-extraterrestrial-life-et-intelligence-a7377716.html

Someone asked me recently WHY would this grand deception be taking place?  What does Satan have to gain by convincing us that alien life forms exist all over God's universe?

Think about it.....if Satan can convince us that humans ARE NOT special and in fact there are millions of different life forms all over the universe that also EVOLVED from basic life forms over billions or trillions of years...then the whole idea of God/Jesus coming to earth as a human being, born of the Virgin Mary...begins to be very unbelievable.

"Of all the millions of advanced beings that inhabit the universe WHY would God have chosen to work his redemptive story through Jesus as a man?  Why didn't he birth himself into a Klingon woman?  Or a woman from Ashtar?  Or a Pledian?"

Just remember, ONLY HUMANS are created in the image of God.  WE ARE SPECIAL!

"For God so loved the world that He sent His ONLY begotten son...."

Yep!  God loves human beings!  We are unique!  We ARE NOT just one of millions of life forms that EVOLVED in the universe!  We are fearfully and wonderfully made as HUMANS!

And that is THE REASON that Satan so hates us....because God so loves us!

Britain Sending Hundreds of Troops to Russia's Border

No doubt we can file this headline under "Wars and Rumors of War."

Britain sends hundreds of soldiers and tanks to Russian border in biggest military deployment since Cold War

A total of 800 troops, drones and tanks are moving to Estonia next spring, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said.

The move is part of the biggest military build up of NATO troops on Russia's borders since the Cold War.

Mr Fallon said the deployment of the battalion, supported by French and Danish troops, will start from May 2017.

"Although we are leaving the European Union, we will be doing more to help secure the eastern and southern flanks of NATO," Mr Fallon said.

London is also sending Typhoon fighter aircraft to Romania to patrol around the Black Sea, partly in support of Turkey.

It comes after an increase in tensions between the West and Russia in recent months.

We have said it numerous times now, but Putin sure seems to be a good candidate to fulfill the role of Gog of Magog mentioned in Ezekiel 38.  He seems intent on building a coalition that includes Iran (Persia) and also Turkey. (Gomer, Beth-Togarmah)

Ezekiel 38
‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 5 Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.

"We Face a Profound Geopolitical Recession"

The dude was the keynote speaker yesterday at the Schwab IMPACT Conference in San Diego.

He says a severe geopolitical recession is coming.

"Hey Dennis, this is America!  We don't have geopolitical recessions!  It doesn't matter one smidgeon whether Donald or Hillary is elected!  It doesn't matter if Syria collapses or Europe is over run by refugees from the Middle East....life as we know it today in America will never change!....cuz this is America!...oops...guess I already said that."

The world will enter a geo-political “recession,” according to Ian Bremmer, resulting in a large list of failed states. The U.S. will be relatively insulated from that crisis, but faces its own challenges driven by globalization and wealth inequality.

Bremmer is the president and founder of Eurasia Group, a leading global political risk research and consulting firm. He delivered a keynote address yesterday at the Schwab IMPACT conference in San Diego. It is the industry’s largest conference, with approximately 2,000 advisor attendees.

“We are used to boom-and-bust cycles,” he said, “like recessions every seven to eight years. But we don’t talk about geopolitical recessions, because the cycles are much longer.” Bremmer said the last time the world fell apart was after World War II. When it did, we rebuilt the world with U.S.-based values and standards – indeed, he said, globalization became Americanization.

Now we are entering a period of profound geo-political recession, according to Bremmer.

The U.S. will not be badly affected, nor will be Japan or China. To understand why, consider the U.S. approach to the risk of terrorism, which is part of what is driving the geopolitical recession. Terrorism is a problem in the U.S., Bremmer said, but nowhere close to the concern it is in Europe, which is nowhere close to the level of concern in the Middle East. Angela Merkel, who Bremmer said is the strongest leader in Europe, took the lead in the refugee crisis. That was “massively courageous,” he said, but can’t be called leadership, since nobody followed her. Merkel offered to pay Turkey to keep refugees, he said, after German citizens pushed back when she tried to increase immigration.

The Middle East could count on oil money and stable populations, according to Bremmer. Now, OPEC has been “fundamentally destroyed,” he said, and the U.S. is no longer willing to provide military support to those countries. As a result, popular unrest will turn Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iraq and Afghanistan into failed states, among others.

“The biggest refugee crisis and the worst terrorist organization in history are not a problem for the U.S., China and Japan,” he said.

The challenge, according to Bremmer, is that there is no pressure on U.S., China or Japan to do anything about the refugee and terrorism crises. As a result, there is no support for the TPP and an “America first” attitude has gained popularity.

Bremmer said the recent criticisms of the U.S. by Philippine President Duterte were similar to events in the U.K. a year ago. The U.S. pressured the U.K. to not join the China-led infrastructure bank, because it would compete with the U.S.-led World Bank. But the U.K. joined anyway to show the Chinese that they were independent of the U.S., he said, and to encourage China to invest in U.K. nuclear facilities.

The Philippines looked at South China Sea and saw that America was turning away from the region, according to Bremmer, and said “let’s get on board with the Chinese.”

The U.S. is stable and not in decline, according to Bremmer. China will be the largest economy in 10 years but we will have by far the best military and will be the leading producer of food and energy. “This is not a bad story for the U.S.,” he said.

“But our footprint globally is decreasing,” he said. “Our allies are looking for alternatives, and the one that is at the forefront is China.”

Bremmer predicted that regions will align and cohere based on what regional powers want. Russia will drive integration based on its security and energy needs. China will drive integration in Asia, he said.

“If you are investing in China or, say, South Korea you will see a fragmentation of globalization,” Bremmer said. Companies that do business with China will tilt away from the dollar to the renminbi. The IT sector, which was the most globalized, will become the most fragmented, he said. For example, Lockheed Martin won’t be able to sell to markets that are unfriendly to the U.S., according to Bremmer. Bremmer said that this is already happening now to Facebook, Google and Amazon.

“Big multi-national companies will have to think strategically about geopolitics,” Bremmer said.

A few Middle Eastern countries will survive, he predicted, but most will fall apart. Europe “got too big,” he said, and will get smaller; functional integration (harmonized regulations and freedom of movement) will happen only among the core European countries (Germany, France, Spain, Italy and a few other), but will not extend to the U.K. or eastern Europe. Latin America will “move back to the U.S.,” he said, and toward free markets, which will make them a better place to invest.

"See!  I told you Dennis!  Even this guy says that the U.S. will not be "badly affected" when the world starts to fall apart!....so quit being so gloomy."

Let's look at a possible scenario for the world WHEN the rapture of the church happens.  Let's say that this guy is correct and nations start to fail around the world.  Somewhere into that epic failure let's say that the trumpet sounds and all followers of Christ are snatched off this planet in the twinkling of an eye.  So let's say 10-20% of Americans are gone.  Business owners, mortgage holders, real estate owners, nurses, doctors, military generals, soldiers and Christians from all walks of life are instantly gone!  There can be no doubt that America will be greatly affected when this happens.

Now the world has already been shaken and America starts a sudden collapse.

It would now seem like everything would be in place for the AntiChrist to be revealed and take his place on the world stage and announce his rapid plan to bring the shattered world back into order.  He will say that the world needs to have a common currency and a global government if mankind has any hope of surviving.  And of course the world will readily comply...because what choice will they have?

Of course we have no idea if this is how things will play out....but it is an interesting scenario to ponder.

As Jan Markell likes to say, "The world isn't falling apart....everything is just falling into place."

The Approaching Economic Storm

So how much longer can this current bubble keep going?

We have no idea.

We are actually surprised that all this money-printing (called Quantitative Easing) and zero interest rates has lasted as long as it has.  The whole system of Central Banking seems to have de-linked from logic some years ago and may only be waiting for some type of trigger to send the whole illusion into chaos.

The next recession appears likely to hit in the spring of 2017, and many experts are expressing increased concern over the weakened position of the Federal Reserve. 

After years of low rates from the Federal Reserve and massive stimulus programs from China, there may be very little left that governments can do to push back against this macroeconomic tide. What is worse, it is widely believed that the Fed is planning to raise rates in December of 2016. 

Whereas its intention may be to provide room to lower rates later in a crisis, there is also a strong chance that this could help precipitate the recession.

Though notoriously difficult to predict, financial cycles are an inescapable part of a fiat currency system based on fractional reserve banking. 

Deutsche Bank's analysis now believe that this indicates a 60% chance of a recession occurring in the US within the next nine months.

Sovereign Debt Ratios

The ratio of national debt to countries' gross domestic product is, though not a perfect metric for stability, an often-cited statistic for national monetary policy. 

Looking at the ratios across both developed countries and emerging markets, we now see debt ratios approximately 35% higher than they were at the beginning of the last major financial crisis that brought the world's economic system to the brink. 

While not itself indicative of a crash in the short term, such dangerous debt ratios in nearly every country mean that governments have few options left to pull their economies back from the edge. Thus, the depression that government stimulus may have avoided eight years ago may no longer be avoidable. China, for example, will not be able to step in to save the day. 

Beijing is far past any reasonable or safe limits on credit to the tune of nearly $30 trillion in loans, and Fitch Ratings believes that bad loans in their banking system are as much as 1,000% the official claim. 

Weakness of GDI to GDP

The ratio of gross domestic income to gross domestic product is another leading indicator that now mirrors the previous recession. 

Albert Edwards of Société Générale points out that this indicator has been flat for the previous two quarters and that "The pronounced weakness of GDI relative to GDP might be an ominous omen, for it may well be indicating that a US recession is already underway - just as it was in 2007." 

Uncertainty

Economic cycles are influenced by natural disasters, human psychology and millions of unobserved factors in addition to the management of government, so there remains ample room for doubt. 

But when we consider that we are already in the fourth longest recovery in 150 years, the list of leading indicators begins to look all the more ominous. 

Taken alone, any single indicator can be ignored, but together they paint the picture of economic storm clouds on the horizon.

"But Dennis, our government can print and create as much money as they want!  It simply isn't a problem anymore because everyone has confidence that the Central Bankers know exactly what they are doing...even if none of us understand it!  That's why we pay them the big bucks to run everything!"

Really?  If that were the case then every government on earth could simply print as much money as they want and hand it out to everyone until poverty ceases to exist!

But Jesus says that will never happen.

Matthew 26
The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.

Liberal Submission to Islam

We have blogged about this before because we think it strange that liberals we converse with jump through all sorts of hoops to defend Islam but feel free to throw Christianity under the bus.

What's up with that?  Is there any logical reason?  And if there is not logical reason then could there be a supernatural reason?

Check out how Amazon.com was offering Halloween outfits of a "sexy nun" and a "sexy burqa". The Muslims complained and Amazon took it down.  The Catholics complained and Amazon dismissed them and continue to sell "sexy nun".

The world's biggest shopping portal, Amazon, sells many Halloween costumes. One of the novelties in 2016 has been the "Sexy Burka", the typical obscurantist cloak that the Taliban and the Islamic State impose on women. But the sexy burqa, which on Amazon UK was priced at £18.99, did not last long.

The commercial colossus of Jeff Bezos removed the item from the website, after Amazon had been swamped with accusations of "racism", "Islamophobia," of marketing an Islamic garment with the white face of a model and using "a religious garment for commercial purposes". "You are disgusting, my culture is not your costume", wrote many users of the Islamic faith. Others used a less adorable tone: "Whoever you are, you should fear Allah. This is not a joke."

A spokesman for Amazon promptly responded: "All Marketplace sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don't will be subject to action including potential removal of their account. The product in question is no longer available".

So that Halloween parody of the global symbol of female oppression has been censored. It is because Islamic veils contradict Western values of freedom, equality and human dignity so totally that this relativistic progressive mentality defends these Islamic veils, as it does the burkini, with loyalty.

But here also lies a double standard. What about the "Sexy Nun" Halloween costume that mocks the Catholic Church? Despite the protests of many Catholics customers, the "Sexy Nun" is still on sale at Amazon. Is it not a form of "Christianophobia"? Also, a nun is a religious figure, while a burqa is mere cloth.

Take The Guardian, the most famous British liberal-left newspaper. When the Pussy Riot performers put on their supposedly offensive 3-minute show in Moscow's Christ the Saviour Cathedral, for which two of the three performers served jail time rather than repudiate the text (the third apologized to avoid jail), the paper defended them as "pure protest poetry." When the political group PEGIDA called to protest against Islamization in Germany, the same media blasted it as "a vampire we must slay." The same double standard also emerged during the battle to build a mosque near Ground Zero, when the liberal media sided with the Muslim community.

In January 2006, Norway's most famous cartoonist, Finn Graff, announced that he was censoring himself over Mohammed. Graff never had a problem in making fun of Christians, whom he depicted as wearing brown shirts and swastikas. Graff had also penned a number of controversial drawings against Israel, one of which showed the Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin as the commander of a Nazi concentration camp.

The same happened with German-American filmmaker Roland Emmerich, director of many disaster movies. He abandoned a plan to obliterate Islam's holiest site on the big screen for fear of attracting a fatwa (religious opinion) calling for his death. For his movie, "2012", Emmerich wanted to demolish the Kaaba, the iconic cube-shaped structure in the Grand Mosque in Mecca. "You can actually let Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have ... a fatwa", Emmerich said. At least he was honest.

After the massacre of most of the staff at the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, all major Western liberal newspapers, television networks and photo agencies, starting with the "Big Three" (MSNBC, CNN and AP), competed in justifying their shameful decision to censor the cover of Charlie Hebdo, in which the Islamic Prophet Mohammed says "all is forgiven." CNN said it might offend "the sensitivities of a Muslim audience." One year later, when Charlie Hebdo published a new cover depicting a Judeo-Christian "killer God" rather than the Islamic Prophet, CNN showed it.

As followers of Christ, none of this should surprise us....but yet it does.  Why are liberals so blind to what is happening?

Of course the Bible has a very clear explanation:
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
