Obama Administration. America's suicide attempt: "'Civilizations die from suicide, not murder,' said the great historian Arnold Toynbee. Under President Obama, America is losing its superpower status..... Once the world's largest creditor, we have become the greatest debtor nation." See God's Warnings for our Times
Terrorism. Khamenei: Iran Set to Deliver 'Punch' to Stun West on Anniversary : "The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman, February 11, in a way that will leave them stunned," Khamenei, who is also Iran's commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel according to AFP. ...The country's top cleric was marking the occasion when Iran's air force gave its support to revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a key event which led to the toppling of the U.S.-backed shah on February 11, 1979. ... "Iran said it would begin to produce higher enriched uranium from Tuesday, in defiance of Western powers trying to ensure the country's nuclear drive is peaceful." See Signs of the times ClimateGate. Top British scientist says UN panel is losing credibility: "The African claims could be even more embarrassing for the IPCC because they appear not only in its report on climate change impacts but, unlike the glaciers claim, are also repeated in its Synthesis Report. This report is the IPCC’s most politically sensitive publication.... The IPCC is also facing criticism over its reports on how sea level rise might affect Holland. Dutch ministers have demanded that it correct a claim that more than half of the Netherlands lies below sea level when..." See the next link: ClimateGate. The great global warming collapse. ...the air has gone out of the climate-change movement: '"The global warming movement as we have known it is dead,' the brilliant analyst Walter Russell Mead says.... It was done in by a combination of bad science and bad politics.... Until now, anyone who questioned the credibility of the IPCC was labelled as a climate skeptic, or worse. But many climate scientists now sense a sinking ship, and they're bailing out." See Green LiesPersecution in America? Street Preachers Killed In United States: '"Anti-Christian hostility is getting increasingly deadly' in the United States after two street preachers were shot and killed by a teenager who apparently opposed their message. 'The increasing demonization of Christians in our culture makes some feel its open season on Christians,' said Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission.... "'Sufra walked up to greet him and was killed with a shot gun blast at point blank range. When Ocean ran, he was shot in the back. After he fell, Woody shot him in the head execution style.'... "Last year Jim Pullion was killed while holding pro-life signs in front of his granddaughter's Owasso Michigan high school. Reverend Fred Winters was murdered while preaching in his pulpit in Maryville, Illinois. 'Increasingly we see Christian ministers threatened and churches terrorized and vandalized for their stand on marriage. Now when Christians gather for worship they must have armed security.'" See How few there are who die so hardSeeds of Persecution. Religious affiliation on ID cards rejected: "...religious affiliation on ID cards has created problems for Christians in predominantly Islamic nations.... Turkey was requiring people to disclose their beliefs in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights and the national constitution.... Christians and other religious minorities in Turkey often have been subjected to discrimination based on identification of their religious affiliation.... 'It has been known to affect whether they get a job or not, how people look at them, whether they are accepted for a post or an application of some sort." See Day of No Return Reports from Haiti. Americans Jailed in Haiti Send Disturbing Message: "Eight of the 10 U.S. Baptist missionaries charged with child kidnapping in Haiti are pleading for help in a letter one of them slipped to a journalist through prison bars. 'We fear for our lives Here in Haiti,' said the letter, which was signed by everyone in the Idaho church group except spokeswoman Laura Silsby, and her close aide, Charisa Coulter.... 'Please you must listen. We have No Way to Call. Court will NOT let us have a say with anything about trust for US. We only came as volunteers. We had NOTHING to do with any documents and have been lied to.' " An investigating judge charged the Americans on Thursday with kidnapping for trying to take 33 children across the border into the Dominican Republic on Jan. 29 without documentation The Baptist group, most of whose members are from two Idaho churches, had said they were rescuing abandoned children and orphans..." See Spiritual WarfareEconomy. Climate makes money move in mysterious ways [U.K.]: "...in its obsession with climate change, different branches of the UK Government have in recent years been pouring hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers' money into a bewildering array of 'climate-related' projects, often throwing a veil of mystery over how much is being paid, to whom and why." The Mind-changing Myths of AVATAR -- Blending Hinduism, Shamanism and Goddess Spirituality: "Largely patterned after today's idealized views of Native Americans, they draw viewers into an unforgettable encounter with the 'illusions of oneness.' Remember, behind the 'beautiful side of paganism' lie the same human tendencies that bring pain and destruction to all parts of the world: greed, violence, competition, and war." Forces of Nature. Storm could be the biggest for the nation's capital in modern history: "'Snowmageddon,' President Barack Obama called it. And even the president's motorcade — which featured SUVs instead of limousines — fell victim as a tree limb snapped and crashed onto a motorcade vehicle carrying press. No one was injured. From Pennsylvania to New Jersey, south to Virginia, the region was under at least 2 feet of snow. Parts of northern Maryland had 3 feet." See The Creator of allPopular Occultism. Playtime for Kids and It's Called Divination: "So now ToysRus has a cute little pink Ouija board and one that glows in the dark, both marketed for children. They advertise that kids as young as 8 need to have these new sorcery objects! (Well, they don't call them "sorcery objects" but the Bible does.) I know it is billed as a 'toy' but I have enough personal experience that I can tell you it is blatant divination.... "Those perpetrating this are aiming at younger kids every day. Serious reproach against witchcraft and divination is given in Deuteronomy 18:9-15. ... I was addicted to a Ouija board. I had people driving 100 miles to put their hands on the glass object, ask the board questions, and have it spell out answers..." See The Nature and Tactics of Satan Zero Tolerance. Laura Timoney fumes after son Patrick, 9, is busted for bringing 2-inch-long toy gun: "'The gun was so little,' the boy said. 'I don't understand why the principal got so upset. I was a little nervous. They made me sign a statement.' "Patrick and a friend were playing with Lego figures in the school cafeteria on Tuesday when he pulled out the faux machine gun and stuck it in the hands of his plastic police officer.... Principal Evelyn Mastroianni saying her son had somehow gone from straight A's to the NRA.... Timoney said her boy loved the toy figure because her husband is a retired police officer." See Zero Tolerance For Non-Compliance Lawlessness & Violence. Civil War By Any Other Name: "Treated by the State Department and Homeland Security as simply a domestic criminal problem across the border, this no-holds-barred insurgency threatens the existence of all phases of legal governance in a large portion of the United States' southern neighbor.... There is no higher level of terrorism worldwide than that which exists today in Mexico. A conscious effort is in process by the drug cartels to take over the physical areas of northern and portions of central Mexico, replacing existing governmental forms with their own deadly justice.... " What began as turf wars among the six major drug cartels has escalated into a major conflict.... Law enforcement sources in the four American border states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.... agree that the brutality of the fighting where few are left wounded is matched by the bestiality of the drug cartels' methods of interrogation and revenge. Beheadings and body mutilation are now the norm." See Lawlessness
