Should We Expect Chaos At The Conventions???

It looks likely from my perspective. And I'm not just saying one convention, or the other. Both look pretty chaotic to me, for completely different reasons.

The Democrats can't seem to choose which kind of Socialist they prefer; the "moderate" one, Hillary, who talks tough about how bad Wall Street is, while taking large donations from their corporations, along with huge payments to her lobbying foundation from just about every Persian gulf oil producing country. Do we really think those donations do not come with strings attached? If we think the Obama administration was hostile to American Oil Companies (fracking, and Keystone oil pipeline), and the Coal Industry, wait till Hillary gets in power!!! Talk about American oil producers going bankrupt!!! And guess who will bail them out? The Arab oil companies, with probably some neutral sounding corporate names, to disguise their real ownership!

And, remember, it was Saudi Arabia that gave us Osama bin Laden!

Or maybe they will try an electoral coup for Bernie's sake. He has said he will lobby for specific issues, but will not endorse Hillary. I'll bet every one of those issues will be called by his name, somehow. And all those students fresh out of school, or leftist college courses, would love to see an electoral revolt to throw the Convention wide open, somehow.

In the Republican party, Donald Trump has alienated just about everybody except his own family, and he has divorced half of them. The "establishment Republicans" hate him because he won the nomination, virtually in spite of them. They realize that a Trump White House would probably be vindictive towards those who resisted his nomination. There is already talk of swaying some delegates to break their vows to vote for Trump. I don't know anything of the legal implications of this, but just talking about it seems to be dangerous for the Trump devotees. And if he is not the party's nominee, you can bet he will create a third party, which will all but guarantee a Democratic victory!

The voters in this country seem to be fed up with the wishy-washy politics of past generations. So-called "moderates" on the Left, and on the Right, don't seem to have the appeal of the past elections. The Left wants more Socialism purists, and the Right is just plain sick of all the "moderates" running the party. Is this the rise of the Conservative purists??? Perhaps the Bible is exercising it's "two-edged Sword" in this year's politics!

Again, I quote that old political pollster, Alice, of "Wonderland" fame, who said, "Things are getting curiouser, and curiouser!"

Twisted Biblical Values Are Almost As Bad As None

Today's news on Fox News Channel was practically aghast at Obama's latest version of Attorney General, with her latest comments about how we should treat I.S.I.S. terrorists with love, to defeat their hatred, and violence. One has to wonder if she means before, or after we are beheaded, or burned alive???

I get where she is coming from, the beatitudes of the Gospel, where Jesus preached at the "Sermon on the Mount" (see Matthew 5 through 7, especially chapter 5, verse 44), that we should, "love your enemies...(and) bless those who curse you...(and) pray for those who despitefully use you". This is a perfect example of, "a text, taken out of context, is a pretext!", as the old Sunday School adage says. Yes, we should love our enemies, in spite of their evil intentions towards us, but that is after they have been subdued and can no longer harm you, or if they repent of their evil towards you, or surrender as with the Germans, and the Japanese, after World War II. Instead of the vengeance Germany received after World War I, we gave them the Marshall Plan, and rebuilt both their countries, literally from the ground up.

The important issue here, that Attorney General Loretta Lynch apparently ignores, is the context in which Jesus was preaching. He was talking to a conquered people, whose enemies were their very rulers, and would love an excuse to commit mass murder, for practically any reason. In essence He was cautioning the listeners to be blameless before their rulers, and even willing to be loving to them, when it appears they are ready to receive it. (Remember, the people were mostly expecting Him to lead them in a violent revolt against the Romans. He was trying to explain that this was not the reason why He came to them.)

But, that didn't mean they were to charge a column of Roman soldiers (obviously bent on killing them) with the intention of throwing their arms around them, and hugging them, and kissing them on the cheek!!! Jesus obviously didn't feel it was necessary to clarify that point, because He knew He was speaking to people who had a reasonable modicum of common sense. You could not survive long without it, in that environment. Many didn't survive long with it!!! So He didn't waste their time preaching the obvious to them...He wanted to get to the heart of the matter quickly, before sending them home (either to buy food, or to eat before they go! [See the, "feeding of the five thousand".])

It's too bad we have an Administration run by people without the common sense that Jesus knew these people possessed. A little bit of common sense would go a long way in the Obama administration. Unfortunately, common sense seems to be in very short supply in the Obama Administration (i.e., Obama's U.N. Ambassador; all I.S.I.S. terrorists need are "more jobs"). And, it all begins with a President who prefers to live in obvious denial about his degree of success in countering I.S.I.S. troop movements abroad, as well as "lone wolf" domestic activity. While he glibly chortles on about how weak I.S.I.S. is becoming, his very own intelligence directors, both military and civilian, are fairly screaming to the press that the opposite is really true!

I don't know which is worse, an Attorney General who believes in a twisted version of the Bible, or a President who obviously doesn't believe in anything, other than (perhaps) the Koran!

I've Read The Last Chapter Of The Book...

Just read a caption on a Fox News show which said the Department of Homeland Security has found that 25% of all "Americans" who are trying to join I.S.I.S. come from Minnesota. Must be those dad-burned Irish Catholics, or German Lutherans, or maybe the Norwegians that settled in that area about 100 years ago. I think a bunch of Polish immigrants settled that part of the country, or was that Wisconsin? How about all those Somalian immigrants that were settled in that area? Gee, I wonder which ethnic group would want to join I.S.I.S., so they could kill people in Syria, and help set up an international Muslim Caliphate, and eventually destroy Israel??? Gee, I can't guess!!!

I'll bet the reason that these idiots are falling all over themselves to join I.S.I.S. is because they have read the Koran's prediction ("Prophecy"?) of a coming Mahdi (a "holy" prophet, or leader) who will establish this Caliphate, and all the rest. There is just one problem with that...it's all a big fat lie!!! I've read the last chapter of another book (the Bible) which says it ain't so! These poor fools will find out soon enough that God is not going to allow them, or anyone else, to destroy Israel!!! Their fervor is laudable, but they read the wrong book. My Bible says that 83 1/3rd.% of the eventual invasion force (composed of Russian military, and international Muslim militias) will be destroyed by God, upon the, "Mountains of Israel" (according to Ezekiel 38, & 39).

These two books can't both be right, one has to be a lie, and I'd rather sit back here and wait for it all to play out, then to guess wrong, and find out about it, when God destroys the invasion force and casts them all into Hell. And I think I know which one is right, and which one is the lie! I can only guess how He will bring it all to pass, and I have no idea when it will happen (I suspect that God is probably waiting for the final tally of all the idiots who choose to ignore His warnings, and prefer to believe the lie), but I do know how it will end! And it will be real bloody, for those who come against Israel!!! They'll be real sorry they chose the wrong side, for a very, very long time (like, maybe, eternity!). I'm not too worried about the Muslims who remain here, afterwards, they'll be so shocked and disillusioned by the outcome that they will immediately begin to behave themselves, and all their explosive vests will end up at the Muslim military surplus stores!!! We might even see an anti-Muslim, turn to Christianity among the survivors, as they recognize that they were fed a lie, and come to recognize, and prefer the truth of Christianity, afterwards. At least for seven years (time for a new generation of fanatical buffoons to want to commit suicide, so they can spend eternity (in Hell), desperately searching for their seventy-two virgins!)

Do I sound like I don't care for these people? I don't, particularly. They have mostly lived in America for years, sponging off our Welfare system, and watching television (which is blanketed with Christian T.V. shows that talk about roughly the same messages that I write about). If they want to reject the warnings that are implied in these shows, and prefer to believe the lies that are written in their Koran, then they will have their reward for doing so. I'm sorry, but I won't lose much sleep over them!!!

Russia's Chess Masters Are At It Again

I have posted previously that Russia's military strategists tend to think in chess board patterns. They will "feint" one direction, and when you are busy countering that move they will pounce another direction before you realize what hit you. That has always been their pattern, and I think I see it unfolding again. That will remain their strategy, until you counter with a strategy that lets them know they are messing with a strategy that is more dangerous then they have anticipated. J.F.K. recognized this during the "Cuban Missile Crisis", when he called Khrushchev's bluff, forcing him to back down, or face a wider conflagration then he had anticipated.

I see very little difference between the Russian behavior then, and now. Yesterday, reports came down that Russian jets had bombed the defenses of the American trained, and Air Force backed Syrian rebels. When American F-18 jets were sent to patrol the attacked area, the Russian jets backed off. But, when the American jets left for re-fueling, the Russian jets returned to run another bombing raid. This behavior smacks of an obvious intent, with no room for claiming error, or for claiming repentance. Russia is clearly thumbing their nose at the Obama administration, daring them to retaliate, and obviously betting that Obama doesn't have the guts to do so.

I suspect that both Ronald Reagan, and J.F.K. would respond in kind. At the very least, the American Jets should attack the Syrian forces that Russia supports (as 50 of our mid-level state department officials notified the White House that they believed it was called for, in a petition). But, this would merely be a "tit for tat" retaliation; something that would be appropriate from a diplomatic perspective; not enough to prevent future similar behavior, just enough to show that we don't like it. ("You hit our surrogate forces, and we'll hit your surrogate forces"; this is the kind of "stale-mate" strategy that gave us the Korean War, and prolonged the Viet Nam War for years, until the American people grew weary, and just pulled out.

The most appropriate response would be to attack the Russian Air Base that deployed the jets that attacked the rebels in the first place. This would not only show that we expect Russia to abide with previous agreements not to attack our surrogate forces (which we would not be violating ourselves, since we would be attacking Russian positions; a moot, but technical point), but it would also let them know that we are capable, and willing to enforce our position against the aggressors, and not merely punish their surrogates. Reagan, and probably J.F.K. would have the guts to do so; let's see if Obama has enough guts to stand up to Putin, or not! Guess which way I'm betting?!

[UPDATE: 7/25/2016:
I guess I could crow that I had bet right, since I've heard nothing about the Obama administration taking any action at all, against the source of the Russian jets that bombed the Allied surrogates, or against their Syrian surrogates, either way. But I guess I'm so ashamed of this administration that I don't take much pride in being right to predict their whimpy non-response. Obama does it again!!!]

"Give Them An Inch, They'll Take A Mile..."

Two days ago, I posted that (against my better judgement) I was about to agree with a Liberal position. I do not repent for the very specific, and highly qualified position I expounded, that if the N.R.A., or any other Lobbying interest has paid any Congressmen, of either party, to block any potential legislation that will inhibit the purchasing of assault rifles by criminals, and certainly known terrorists, and even a profile list of potential terrorists, then they should be summarily voted out of office, and replaced by others who will place our public safety ahead of their personal greed. And if the Bill of Rights protects us all from profile lists, it must be carefully amended to allow it, but only in very specific cases, related to national security.

I wrote that with a strong sense of "fear and trembling", because any time you agree with a reasonable position from the left (as rarely as you can find one), it is invariably distorted by Liberals to mean approval of a much more diabolical position that appears similar, but infringes on the rights of the law-abiding citizens, which those legal concerns are supposed to protect. My post very carefully delineated between concern that criminals, and terrorists (and even suspected potential terrorists) not be given easy access to the purchase of assault rifles, and other automatic weapons, and the general public, otherwise, who not only should, but must be guaranteed free access to the purchase of the same weapons. The prohibiting of weapons capable of fighting a government coup, or assisting in the defense against a foreign aggressor, is not only unconstitutional, but it threatens a fundamental basis for our freedom of the past nearly 250 years.

Also, we must maintain our free access to these kinds of weapons in order to potentially defend ourselves from these very criminal elements, and terrorists (who probably will be able to obtain them, illegally, anyway), during the lag time between a 911 phone call to the police, and their arrival time. The police are good at what they do, but they are not perfect. There must be room for personal protection before the arrival of police protection.

Today, I heard on T.V. that the Obama White House has begun to circulate a petition on the internet calling for the absolute banning of all sales of AR15 assault rifles (the most popular kind, which I understand is the commercial equivalent to the military's M16 rifle). Leave it to the Liberal Administration to take our reasonable concern for not allowing the easy access of these weapons to criminals, and terrorists, and distort it to seem that we don't want anyone to own them, except the military and police, who at least would be legally chargeable if they disobeyed a liberal coup attempt. Hmmmmmm, does it seem like maybe there is an ulterior motive here???

Couple that with news reports that the Clintons' personal lobbying foundation (obviously run by Bill) was accepting tens of millions of dollars from Arabic countries, at the time when Hillary was serving as Secretary of State, most notably from Saudi Arabia, the country that gave us Osama Bin Laden, the founder of Al Quiada, and the brains behind the 911 Twin Towers plane crashes. Perhaps this graft was the major motivation behind the order to "stand down", that led to the Benghazi fiasco. Did that order come directly from Hillary, by way of an unsecured E-mail from Bill? (One can only wonder!) And we are really considering putting these people back in the white House??!! Come on!!! Wake up, America! Why don't we all just slit our own throats with kitchen knives, and make it easier for the liberals, who really hate America's freedoms, and can't wait for the Antichrist to take over the world, anyway!!!

Forgive Me, O God, But I'm About To Agree With Liberals...

I had to bite my tongue, and swallow hard, to admit it, but (like the title of this post says:) I'm about to agree with a Liberal position on gun control!!! I was unaware of Congressional efforts to hinder the blocking of sales of some assault weapons to people with criminal records, or who have been determined as potentially dangerous terrorists, even if they have not yet broken any laws. It appears that if this is true, the motivation is pure Congressional greed, regardless of which party we are talking about, and the N.R.A. may be the lobbying culprit! I am not a knee-jerk defender of the N.R.A., but I am a strong defender of the second amendment to the Constitution. When defense of one threatens the other, it's regrettably time to choose your position.

If Corporate Greed has motivated the N.R.A. to pay what amounts to bribery in Congressional campaign contributions, to ensure that there are no laws passed restricting the sale of automatic weapons to criminals, and potential terrorists, then we must put those Congressman on notice that they are serving their final term, in Congress.

Also, this Politically Correct anathema to placing people on profile lists, because of their beliefs (while dangerous because Liberals would love to put conservative Christians on some kind of restrictive list, I'm sure) may be regrettably necessary, even if it violates Constitutional restrictions. There are ways to amend the Constitution, and it may be necessary to do so, carefully, with the legal mandate that only specific issues are to be addressed at any Convention for that purpose. Again Liberals can not be trusted to not use any Convention as a free-for-all effort to rid themselves of "distasteful" articles that truly protect our freedoms, though liberals can't see it. Liberals are overly uncomfortable with freedom, in general, and must be watched carefully, anyway.

Muslim extremism may have forced the issue of allowing the F.B.I. to profile potential terror suspects in order to disallow their free access to certain freedoms. This is a regrettably unconstitutional treatment of citizens (who clearly have no right to be here, in the first place), but if their religion continues to be pre-eminent to our laws (we owe no allegiance to their concept of "Sharia Law") then they force us to restrict their freedoms, or terminate their citizenship, and deport them to countries that condone "Sharia Law" practices. This may be distasteful to swallow, but we must recognize that America's freedoms are not absolute. We do not have the freedom to kill someone else simply because they disagree with us! If Muslims will not abide with this premise for living here (the definition of the word "abide", is "live", after all) then their "right" to live here should be revoked, and they should be deported, if they support these murderers in any way!

I do not like taking this position, but I feel it may be necessary to protect our own freedoms. We do not give the recent Muslim immigrants license to overrule our freedoms, with their own "Sharia Law", which not only allows for our murder, but mandates it, because we are the "dreaded infidels". If their concept of "infidels" mandates our murder, simply because we disagree with them, why do we open our doors to them, to allow them to live in our country???

Let's Be Straight About Something...

Despite all the Liberal bluster about guns being responsible for crime and terrorism, there has yet to be one gun that has ever fired itself in the commission of a crime, or an act of terrorism. All guns are neutral instruments to be used by either good, or evil people in the commission of their intended purposes. Those very people bare the sole responsibility for the acts committed with those guns, not the guns themselves, the manufacturers of the guns, or the sellers of the guns (provided the gun sellers made a responsible, and legal effort to insure that the buyer was legally eligible to purchase them). (If the N.R.A., or anyone else has paid campaign money to Congressmen, on either side of the aisle, to keep open a legal loophole that makes it easy for criminals, and terrorists to buy guns, they should be denounced immediately, and those loopholes should be closed, provided there are no further restrictions for legal citizens' purchase of guns.) Please stop this Leftist drivel about everybody except the perpetrator of the crime, or in this case the terrorist murderer, being responsible for their horrible acts. No one bares immediate responsibility other than the "perps" themselves, and any possible accomplices!

But our most prominent Liberal demagogues, Obama, and Hillary Clinton wasted no time in claiming that the N.R.A. and those who support the Second Amendment to the Constitution bare the real responsibility for the mass murder in Orlando, Florida. What hypocritical, demagogic, cr*p!!

Liberals apparently have no shame in trying to use any distasteful circumstance to try and equate it with whatever completely unrelated issue they wish to publicize negatively. In this case, they not only insult our intelligence, but they dishonor the families of the victims by callously using their murders as a symbol for their completely unconstitutional efforts to take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.

Just like the pathetic U.N. Ambassador's suggestion that all the I.S.I.S. terrorists needed to stop their terrorism was, "more jobs", Hillary's argument against Trump's call for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration was to work on "connections" to Muslims. Since the government always pays huge amounts of money to people they are "connected" with, I guess what she is suggesting is that we essentially pay ransom to the Muslims, not to kill our innocent citizens. I'm sure that will be very effective, for just long enough for them to get safely out of town, and then that ransom money will fund the terroristic murder of innocent people in some other town.

Can't we find better people to run our government than these idiots?!!! May God have mercy on us all, and help us rid ourselves of these idiots, who steal our tax money to give it to those who wish to kill us!!!

Presidential Wisdom...Who Had It, And Who "Ain't Got It"

The most obvious example of a president whose intelligence far exceeds his wisdom resides, for the time being, in the White House, now. Obama is perhaps the most brilliant "idiot" to ever reside in the Presidential Palace. The term "idiot" is obviously not appropriate, not because I am reluctant to use such terms describing one of such important status, but because it also implies an insufficient level of intelligence. In his case I use it derogatorily, as his high level of intelligence is not sufficient to override his pathetic lack of wisdom! Any man, or woman, in a position of great authority who can come up with a policy such as his recent ruling to allow transgender school children to use whichever restroom, or locker room, they choose (not based on their birth-sex, but based upon their present feelings) is so obviously lacking in discernable wisdom as to not deserve the appropriate title of a "fool", because it does not carry enough derogatory implication with it! I can not contain my revulsion for anyone who can honestly call this a good idea! And, Hillary wants to, "Preserve his legacy"! You've got to be kidding me! Whatever Obama's intention, you can bet that his administration will be remembered for this kind of perverse foolishness, whether it is allowed to stand, or not.

As I wrote previously, I suspect that Obama doesn't really expect the Supreme Court to uphold this foolish edict. He may be simply "throwing a bone" (pardon the expression) to the Democratic voting L.G.B.T. people, expecting to blame it's overturning on the Supreme Court. One must only hope so! But whatever his intention, the fact that he proposed such foolishness will brand his "legacy" forever. Bare that in mind, Hillary, when you talk about the "Obama Legacy"!

Sometimes a president can overcome his lack of intelligence, or experience, by surrounding himself with brilliant advisors. Obama, on the other hand, apparently considers like-mindedness to be of more value to him than intelligence, let alone wisdom. I think it was his choice for U.N. Ambassador who was asked about the terrorists in the middle east, who came up with the brilliant idea that all the terrorists needed was, "...more jobs". That was her solution to the terror problem, internationally!!! Good grief!!! How pathetically stupid!

Intelligence alone is not sufficient for the presidency; if wisdom (the sometimes innate ability to discern good from evil, or right from wrong) does not go along with it, he, or she, will be a pathetic failure. If a president is not overly intelligent, but has enough basic wisdom to discern "right" from "wrong", then he can serve his country adequately. This includes times of great National peril.

George Washington was not a great military strategist, but he was wise enough to surround himself with others who were. This included perhaps the greatest strategist of the Continental Army, during the Revolution, Benedict Arnold. Arnold was a man of great military strategic capabilities, and the courage to back it up. Unfortunately, his greedy avarice overcame whatever wisdom he possessed, and we know what became of that!

On the other hand, Washington recognized superior strategy in others, and rejected his own plans for other, better, ones. Case in point, one of his generals, Henry What'shisname (I forget) was a book seller before the war, but came up with the idea of bringing the artillery from Fort Ticonderoga, which had recently been captured (primarily by benedict Arnold), and using it's installation around Boston to force the strategic withdrawal of the British troops there. Later, I think it was his acceptance of French General Rochambeau's strategy, over his own, which led to a decided victory that we call today the "Battle of Yorktown", which incidentally forced the British surrender, and the end of the war.

Lincoln was obviously possessed of great intelligence, and great wisdom, probably gained from years of reading the Bible as a child, as it was perhaps their only educational tool in his poor family, and he not only used it to learn to read, but must have absorbed it's wisdom in the process. It led him to resolve not to avenge the union upon the defeated Confederate states, but to try and welcome them back into the Union, a policy that was adhered to somewhat, even after his assassination, and barely enough to hold the Union together, so far. (People like Obama seem bent upon tearing it apart again!).

The Roosevelts, both Teddy and Franklin, seemed to have sufficient wisdom to go along with high intelligence, though their wisdom seems to have been gathered from practical experience, especially Teddy's. Eleanor's was more lacking, based upon her reputed instruction to her daughter that, "sex is what we must endure in order to have children". (No wonder Franklin sought solace else ware, I wonder if God will take that into consideration for him?)

J.F.K. was obviously brilliant, though his wisdom served him better for the "big picture", like the Cuban Missile Crisis, than for his personal life. For that, he tended to think too much with his genitals, and not enough with his eminent brain power. A like affliction was also suffered by Bill Clinton, who's intelligence was pathetically overruled by claims such as, "I did not have sexual intercourse with that woman." As if he was so stupid that he could not recognize that oral sex was also a form of sexual intercourse, even if it is not the typical form. Or worse, did he really think we were so stupid that we did not recognize this fact?

Then we have George W., who was not reputed to hold great powers of intelligence; he of the reputed "strategery" line. (Did he actually say that? Or was that just S.N.L.'s attempt at ridiculing a Republican president? I don't know.) But his term was marked by consistent wisdom, perhaps excepting the invasion of Iraq. I don't mourn the passing of Sadam Hussein, but the intelligence reports of Weapons of Mass Destruction were either in error, or they should not have been publicized so early before the lengthy arms buildup before the invasion, so Sadam could ship the weapons to some other country, like Russia, or Iran. I have long wondered about the truth of this. Ain't it amazing that "weapons of mass destruction", like poison gas have "miraculously" appeared out of thin air, to be used against Syrian rebels in the prolonged war there, with the assistance of the Russians!

Today we have the Clintons wanting at least another term in the White House. We have already seen how Bill's intelligence fares in conflict with his sexual urges. Hillary may be indicted by the F.B.I., for her E-mail security breach (boy it took a lot of wisdom to figure out if that was a good idea, or not!). And Bernie is a die-hard Socialist ("Nuff said!").

Trump does not have an astounding level of intelligence, that's obvious! Neither does he possess much wisdom, as his unnecessary taunting of Carly Fiorina's face indicated, followed recently by his denouncing of his "Trump University Scandal" trial judge for being biased by his Mexican ancestry. He does seem to have enough wisdom to hire better people to surround himself with, the only question is, "will he listen to them?" Still, like I wrote before, his best quality is that he is NOT HILLARY!!!

This election race seems to be one of, "which candidate will back up over the finish line, first?"; or, "which will do the least amount of harm to our national security, while in office?" May God have mercy upon us all, if we collectively guess wrong, come November!!!

An "Overnight Epiphany"

Maybe, or maybe not...I don't know. But I did wake up this morning in a very strange mood. I felt more rested, and refreshed, than I usually do. And I had a very calm sense that I had received some sort of overnight revelation of the way future societies will likely address certain "problems" that seem to plague today's nations, and cultures around the world. Yet, I did not actually recall any sort of dream (where are King Nebuchadnezzar's dream counselors, when I need them?)

As a professing "born again" Christian, I am not going to bore the reader with claims of "Psychic Sensitivity", and I will not start a television series claiming to be the local "Medium", Palm Reader, or any other form of Satanic delusion, witchcraft, or even hypnosis! I won't claim to believe in those phenomenon, or not. They are absolutely irrelevant to me, one way or another, as I have considered the source of all of them (Satanic, one way or another), and I refuse to participate in any of their practices.

But, there is one source of future revelation that is acceptable to Christians through Biblical prophecy. That is through divine revelation, either through awakened visions (for young people, whose hearts apparently need to be strong enough to receive a message from God, without having a "conniption fit"), or sleeping through God's message (we call that "dreaming"). I don't claim any special revelation from God, but I will say that if He did want to give me some message, it would be thoroughly consistent with the Bible. Both the Old Testament, and the new record the prophecy of the prophet Joel, in Joel 2: 28, which says, "it shall come to pass..., that I (God) will pour out My Spirit on all flesh: your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." (I fit in there somewhere; I'll leave it up to the reader to figure out where.)

The Apostle Peter referred to this prophecy, in the second chapter of Acts: verse 17, when he almost correctly quotes this prophecy, only reversing the reference to the young men, and the old (I wonder if that was a statement of importance to all of us of the various revelations).

Never the less, I offer what "revelation" I am convinced that I have received, without comment as to it's veracity. I leave that up to the reader to judge. Feel free to judge what I say, as you are not judging me (beyond proclaiming my "message"), and I do not claim any veracity to it, beyond my own convincing. I'll leave it up to you, if you want to believe any of it.

I woke up this morning, feeling very calm about some issues that had admittedly troubled me for quite some time. The runaway American federal debt, and for that matter the whole world's national debt problem. I expected that it was all so great, everywhere, as to be impossible to repay. It must be cancelled and some other currency created to take the place of all the various currencies, immediately upon cancellation, if worldwide rioting were not to take place, all around the world, (such as took place recently, in Venezuela). I expect that this will in some way help to usher in the Antichrist's rise to power, as the dictator of a one-world, socialist government. If his European government decides that they will no longer accept any form of paper currency as payment for any transaction, nor legally allow any such transactions within their borders, then all their debts could be paid off with valueless currencies (which would have been previously agreed to, upon acquiring the debt), that would no longer be accepted as legal currency, anyway. The "new economy" would be based upon computer "bits", such as the "Bitcoin" that was recently experimented with, but was not well received. It was not received well because we still have a currency-backed economy, and most people's wealth is measured (or denominated) in dollars, and cents.

But, if the dollar were "cancelled", and only computer "bits" legally accepted as payment for wages, transactions, and as payment for debts within their country, then those "bits" would automatically be relevant. All bank deposits would transfer their dollar denominations into some agreed upon amount of "bits" having the spending capacity of the accounts' previous dollar denominations. (Donald Trump's billions would probably be worth a few bucks, and he'd probably build his next casino for pennies, or the "bit" equivalent.) But, as runaway hyperinflation would probably follow, the value of each account would diminish daily (if not faster), so people who didn't wish to participate in the "new" computer economy would see their bank accounts evaporate before their eyes. And they wouldn't be legally able to withdraw their money, since paper currency would no longer be legal, anyway. So their only choice would be to use the computer currency, and transfer their dollar denominated currency into "bits", or end up watching their previous wealth evaporate into banking "thin air". Most people would acquiesce, which would be acceptable for Christians, at the start. But soon the computer hackers especially from China, and like countries, would make hacking into bank accounts their primary source of income, necessitating an identification computer chip being placed under the skin of each account holder's right hand (or wrist, which was considered part of the hand in ancient Israel, when God spoke the prophecy to the Apostle John), or forehead (if they are handicapped, without functioning hands). These kind of chips are being used today to place in the back of the necks of our pets, for identification, in case they are lost. How simple to apply it towards bank account security.

The only problem for Christians is that God has forbidden our participation in this system! This is clearly expressed in Revelation 13: 16 through 18. Anyone who takes the "mark of the Beast" upon their right hand, or forehead (if their right hand has been amputated, or otherwise made useless), will suffer God's wrath, intended for the devil, and his demonic angels! That's pretty explicit, if you ask me!!! So, I think I'd rather starve than do that! But I expect the Lord to "Rapture" us all before we are faced with that choice.

Pity those who heard the Gospel message before all this comes to pass, and chose to ignore it! They will miss the "Rapture", and their only hope of salvation after that will carry some sort of death-sentence with it. Either starvation, for not participating in the Antichrist's economic system, or being "Beheaded", probably as a criminal for not doing so!

In this way, the Antichrist's economic system will be able to rid itself of unwanted "refuse": First, it will purge itself of all the paper currency of the world, which will become legally valueless. And, second it will purge itself of that most hated commodity, the troublesome Christians of the world! But they will only prevail for a short time (7 years?). Then the Lord will decide to come back, send the devil, the Antichrist, and all those who followed him, to the pits of Hell, forever! Then He will establish His thousand year "Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth", and we will live, and reign with Him forever!!! "Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus...!!!"

Now It Begins

The mudslinging begins, between the two least worthy opponents for the Presidency that I could imagine, months ago. Donald Trump, the plastic businessman from New York, who feels (apparently correctly) that the way to endear himself to the voting public (shame on us for being so shallow) is to tell us why every other candidate is so bad, believing that he will shine standing next to them. And he seems to be correct!

I blame the "liberal media" for our acceptance of such poorly qualified candidates, and the government mandated liberal, public education system that we have allowed to develop in this country, all the way through academia.

The media uses their investigative resources to badger any candidate they don't agree with for their "fitness" to run, while ignoring, rationalizing, or denying the same disqualifying characteristics, or worse, in candidates they approve of (usually loyal liberal, socialists, even if they won't admit it.) The net effect of this is to discourage otherwise qualified people from even considering running, simply because they don't want the unnecessary hassle of an endless media investigation making a small indiscretion, even committed years earlier, to seem as though it were an ongoing conspiratorial preoccupation. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has obviously broken the law while serving as Secretary of State, and using an unsecured private server for her sensitive E-mails. That is a felony violation of the law, but I'll bet she doesn't serve any jail time, and probably won't even be prosecuted by the Obama Justice Department. So, the reality of all this means that conservative candidates must be "squeaky clean", which almost no one is, while liberal candidates can almost, "get away with murder". So, all the really good candidates will opt for not running, leaving us with people like Clinton, and Trump to settle for.

I read a book, years ago, about the "Dummy Down" efforts of Public schools in America. The title I can't remember exactly, it may have been, "The Dummy Down Effect", or something along that line. It was another of the many conspiracy theory books to be published in recent decades. But, it's alarming predictions seem to be prevalent in America today. To wit: America's students are not being taught basic educational skills; but they are being fed pure leftist propaganda in order to make them socially "well balanced" (according to whose standards?; why, according to the leftist bureaucrats in the Education Department, of course). This is intended to make a whole society of "well balanced", leftist-voting automatons that will vote for Liberal candidates who will promise them more, and more money from the imagined infinite supply of the U.S. Treasury; whose money is "created out of thin air", endlessly (translation: borrowed from countries like China, with flimsy promises to repay it later, during someone else's term), and no one really has to pay for it (but the debt keeps growing till the entire economy is in danger of total collapse)! (Of course, these "well adjusted" kids won't be able to balance their check-books, once they receive their largess for having voted these idiots into office. But, that's okay, because the Department of Education declares them to be "well adjusted"!!!)

This is their idea of "well-balanced"?!! No thank you! Yet we keep re-electing these idiots; and we keep sending our kids to their schools, that teach the same cr*p that the idiot bureaucrats of the "Department of Education" (I keep listening for a heavenly thunder bolt, every time I have to type those deceitful words) force our children to digest.

Have we finally had enough of the blatant cr*p that comes from a runaway federal bureaucracy, with the growing fervor over the Obama administration's edict that transgender students must be allowed to choose whichever restroom they wish to use in our public schools, based not on the gender they were born with, but on the gender they "feel" comfortable with. What an opportunity for all the sexually twisted boys, in our schools (at an age when sexual confusion runs rampant through the hormones of our adolescent and teen-aged kids) to take advantage of this opportunity to say they "felt" like girls when they walked into the girl's restroom, or locker room, but discovered (surprise, surprise!!!) they were really "bisexuals" before they raped your little adolescent daughter (and even gang-raped her, as children of that age tend to do everything their peers do, and go everywhere together). Our children will have no privacy protection whatsoever! But the twisted boys will be protected from punishment because the liberal bureaucrats say we can't discriminate against their "feelings"!!!

Talk about, "the lunatics running the asylum"!!! And the head lunatic resides in the White House, today! But, will we elect another lunatic in his place who has pledged to continue his "legacy"??? Hillary Clinton apparently sees nothing wrong with Obama's policies, which means they will be continued, and even increased in their perversion, if she is elected to his place!

That is the only good thing I can see about a possible Trump election. HE IS NOT HILLARY CLINTON!!!
