If you have the time to watch/listen to this video, it is a fountain of knowledge and common sense worth hearing.  Two speakers are engaged on stage with questions.  Both give their responses which are very encouraging to hear.  I highly recommend your listening to this Q & A lecture.  My guess is, if you’re like me, you’ll hear the first 5-10 minutes of it and get hooked!  Two very smart guys.

Refugee Criminals

Leave a comment

We’ve all heard about the thousands of ‘refugees’ coming to America ‘free’ (on our dollar).  But what we haven’t heard about is the reports of crime committed by many of them.

The following is copied from a post I received from a sister blogger.  She is one of the most recognized as a serious blogger and who reports ‘real news’ — not fake news.  Please read her report below.

Ten US cases of refugee Islamic terror arrests/convictions

by Ann Corcoran

I’ve been procrastinating about writing this post, because it required work!

I had to go back through my over 2,000 posts on refugee crimes, here, and pull out Islamic terror cases involving refugees. I chose ten, not for any other reason than these ten below are at the top of my mind. And, I think ten is enough to counter the disinformation campaign going on.

For good measure, I have also added (below) a few spectacular crimes involving Muslim refugees.

But, I have to do it (to write this) because clearly the refugee industry has sent out talking points that I am seeing parroted many times each day which pretty much go like this: no refugee has committed an act of terror in the US.  LOL! And, maybe that is because many were arrested and convicted BEFORE they could do anything!

And, let me ask you, when evaluating the fact that you (as a taxpayer) paid for a refugee’s opportunity to come to America and in some cases below even paid to raise the refugee to adulthood, does it matter for your anger level that he/she planned to kill Americans or planned to kill some innocents somewhere else in the world?  So when the refugee advocates make a distinction about the location of the wannabe jihadist’s target, it’s a difference without a distinction to me!

Here are ten that come to mind:

~The Somali (Mohamed Osman Mohamud) arrested on charges he planned to blow up a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Oregon was a refugee.  See here in 2010. He was arrested as he planned to detonate a bomb.

mohanad-hammadi

~ Two Iraqi refugees were convicted on charges that they helped Al Qaeda in Iraq and may have killed American servicemen there.  They lied on their refugee applications. Best coverage of 2011 case here by ABC News.  The entire Iraqi flow to America had to be re-screened that year!

~In 2012 Abdullatif Ali Aldosary (an Iraqi refugee) set off a bomb at a Social Security Office in Arizona. Sentenced here.

~As successful asylum seekers, the Boston Bombers were refugees who had benefited from America’s generosity. One of many stories here about the 2012 deadly Boston Marathon attack by the Tsarnaev brothers (Chechens).

~In 2013 Fazliddin Kurbanov was arrested in Idaho and later convicted on terrorism charges. Kurbanov is an Uzbek refugee. See here.

~In early 2016 an Iraqi refugee (Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan) living in Texas was accused of planning to bomb a local popular mall, see story at Newsweek.

~In September 2016, a Somali refugee went on a stabbing spree at a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Learn more here about Dahir Adan.  Knife attacks are signature terror acts for devout Muslims.

~Also in September, the Chelsea bomber, Ahmad Rahimi, was arrested and we learned his family came to the US from Afghanistan and were given asylum.  We need to be paying more attention to these asylum seekers since they enter the country completely unscreened and their numbers are on the rise. Story at CNN.  Once granted asylum they are given all the same rights and privileges as the refugees we fly in.

~And, we can’t forget the most recent successful attack by Somali refugee slasher, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, at Ohio State, see here.

~For number ten, I’m lumping the dozens of wannabe Somali refugee jihadists (mostly from Minnesota) who have been identified and/or convicted of wanting to leave the country to fight for al-Shabaab or ISIS. See here.  Several like those in that recent case, were convicted.

Now, here are some horrible crimes I’ve reported over the years!

Esar Met, listens to proceedings in Judge Judith Atherton's court room, at the Matheson Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Thursday, January 9, 2014. Esar Met is accused of killing 7-year-old Hser Ner Moo, who disappeared on March 31, 2008.

And remember not only did you pay for the refugee’s trip to America and his welfare when he got here, but now you will pay for (in many cases) their lives in prison.

~It is hard to rank murder cases, but for me the top of the list is a horrible rape and murder of a Christian refugee child in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2008.  The Burmese Muslim murderer (Esar Met) is now incarcerated for life. The child was the youngest child and only daughter of a Burmese Christian family.

~In 2013 a Somali refugee in North Dakota was sentenced to life in prison for the 2011 murder of a native American family he had become involved with.

~In this case in 2014, an Iraqi refugee murdered his wife (she was going to leave him in 2012) and he penned a fake note trying to pin the murder on Islamophobes in the neighborhood. He was found guilty here and he wasn’t too happy about it! Even CAIR had gotten involved when he tried to pin the murder on Islamophobic Americans.

~And this is an awful case from Colorado where a gang of Iraqi refugees brutally raped a local Colorado Springs woman—“the worst case in Colorado history.” Diana West did a great investigative report on the story, here, at Townhall.

~And, if you have never seen the 2009 Roanoke, VA kidnapping story, don’t miss it here!  No one ever accused these refugees of being too bright! By the way, these guys only got about 5 years so they are probably out roaming Anytown, USA right now. I doubt they were deported.

Now if that doesn’t raise concern, I’m not sure what will..?

Another sign? The Next BIG Moon

2 Comments

I have written about several ‘signs’ we’ve received regarding upcoming prophecy.  (Search for Harbinger and Shamita for example.)  And although the list is getting long, here is yet another sign from the skies.

Next week, November 14th, we will see a spectacular moon.  One with which this world has not seen since 1948!!  (Does that year ring a bell?)  The following is the essence of this topic.

This year, the full moons of October, November and December all take place when the moon is at its closest point of approach in its orbit around Earth — a so-called supermoon.

October’s supermoon occurred on Oct. 16. The next supermoon will be November’s full Beaver Moon, which is expected to reach the peak of its full phase on the morning of Nov. 14, at 8:52 a.m. EST (1352 GMT), but it will appear full to the casual observer in the day before and after the main event. It is the second of three consecutive supermoon full moons for 2016.

This full moon will be not only the closest and brightest supermoon of 2016 but also the largest since 1948, Bob Berman, an astronomer at the Slooh Community Observatory, told Space.com. What’s more, the full moon won’t come this close to Earth again until Nov. 25, 2034, according to a statement from NASA. [Full Moon: Why Does It Happen? (Video)]

Source:  Space.com

At this point if you haven’t guessed, 1948 is a significant year because it is the year that Israel was made a state again — after 2000 years!  If you’ve been reading my other posts regarding prophecy, this one should ring a bell also.  What does it all mean?  That something BIG will be happening in the near future.  What?  I do not know.  But, it will all likely be something that affects the world, or the Jews in particular.

I know that you’d like to know now, but I don’t think we will have to wait long to find out…?

‘Peaceful Muslims’ — Another View

Leave a comment

If you’re a Muslim with an agenda, you DO NOT want to take on Brigitte Gabriel, a Christian Lebanese woman naturalized here in the U.S.!!  Brigitte has created the national organization ‘Act for America’ which has its local chapter in San Antonio — a hotbed of Muslims (9000+).  Her organization’s objective is to educate the public on Islamic terrorism and the totalitarian political system is represents.  We are at war with millions of Muslims — like it or not.  They have already killed several U.S. citizens and will kill more.  If we ignore this threat, we will reap the consequences of that apathy.

For the few Muslims that want to stand up to be heard (the ‘good ones’).  We also have millions of others who want to be heard — not with words, but bullets and knives.  Check out this video where Brigitte takes on a woman in the audience at their conference who ‘wants to make a point’.  It didn’t end well for her.  And, I might add, I too applaud her for her courage and sound thinking when handling people such as this woman.

Muslims Are Portrayed Badly

Would you take her on in debate..?   Not me!

What we are facing today is not new.  If you watched the video you saw numerous examples of similar behavior from history.  The question is, when will we learn??

P.S.

Brigitte will be in San Antonio 10/25 at the Village Parkway Baptist Church located at: 3002 Village Parkway, San Antonio, TX   Her talk begins at 7:00 pm sharp and will be well worth while listening to.

Refugees — The Numbers Just Get Bigger!

Leave a comment

A lot of people want to believe in their fellow man, and they find numerous ways of labeling ‘evil’.  Instead of saying that someone who commits an unbelievable act is evil, they call them crazy, stupid, or misguided.  The idea being they don’t want to acknowledge that people can be inherently evil.  This is why I believe our country is continuing on its trek ‘downhill’.  We have lost perspective on how to evaluate right from wrong, and very wrong.

My concern is for our country’s security.  For over 200 years we’ve been bringing people into our country and looking them over with a fine tooth comb.  But today, we’re injecting people without proper vetting, endangering the people of America.  If we had a few of these people I refer to, that would be one thing.  But tens of thousands, it yet another matter.  Sounds like an exaggeration?  Read the following article.

U.S. Admits Record Number of Muslim Refugees

The 2017 targets or projections for the federal government to bring ‘refugees’ into our country is over 200,000!  Considering most are Muslims and that the radical percentage is at least 10%, how safe does that make you feel?  So how do you think this will affect our country in the near future.?!

9/11 vs. 11/9

Leave a comment

During a discussion last week we came across an interesting ‘coincidence’.??  Everyone knows about 9/11 and what it stands for in this country.  But here’s another interesting date — 11/9.

This coming November we (should) all go a voting poll to determine who our next president will be — the highest powered world leader!  And when does that happen?  On November 8th.  So what is the following day?  Uhhh…  the 9th.!?

I realize that November 9th comes every year, but how often do we have such an important election decision made of this huge importance?  Once again, this could be the biggest decision the people of this country make for a long time.

But my point is (being a ‘believer’), what has the bible to say?  We’ve had a lot of ‘signs’ recently regarding warnings to this country — some of which I’ve written about in this blog.  Well, here’s another one…

I looked up verses in the Christian bible with chapters ‘9’ and verses ’11’.  I found two which were attention getting.

Daniel 9:
11 — All Israel has transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey you. “Therefore the curses and sworn judgments written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against you.

Revelation 9:
11 — They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).

Now consider what happened on 9/11 and what we’re about to do on 11/9.  Read these verses again and ask yourself, ‘does this have anything to do with America’?  Maybe?

Personally I’m not a big believer in ‘coincidence’…

‘Refugee’ Update Here in the U.S.

6 Comments

Although I receive dozens of updates on the ‘refugee program’ every week, I’ve chosen to (re)post just a handful of them to give you an idea of how it’s going.  I think the conclusion you come to is, we’re going to be in trouble soon..?

High Costs of Resettling Refugees

Don’t you feel fortunate being able to spend a LOT of our tax dollars supporting non-working ‘refugees’ here in America who typically don’t even support our way of life?  Especially when it costs so little to support them in their current neighborhood.

Norway’s Boarder Fence

Who says the Russians are dummies?  They’ve obviously figured out their refugee problem.

More Refugees and More MONEY for FY2017

Take note of the number of ‘refugees’ they plan on adding in 2016 and 2017.  Click on the RCUSA link to read the actual text.  And when you read their projected numbers consider this, the generally accepted bottom number estimate for fundamentalist or radicals is 13%.  Do the math and ask yourself how long it will take for this country to be one big war zone..?

If you think we’re not under attack, you’ve obviously not been paying attention.  Our own government has been keeping the boarders open for decades letting ‘illegals’ come into the U.S. for a reason — not necessarily the ones you’ve heard.  People have argued for some time ‘why’ this has been allowed — by the left and the right.  Now we’re bringing people into this country that should be an obvious threat to the well-being of the U.S. citizens.

Regardless if you agree with my view as to the ‘why’, one thing should be clear and not arguable — our country is changing into a third world environment.  Fast!!

I recognize you can’t do anything but vote people into office to alter our course.  But I’d suggest you also prepare for what’s next.

‘The Great American Eclipse’ — God’s Billboard

Leave a comment

Being one of those ‘seniors’ everyone talks about, I have seen a lot in my lifetime.  But given the last few years, I have seen and heard about more astronomical events than I have in all my lifetime combined.

Recently we had the occasion of  the ‘Four Blood Moons‘ and the ‘Harbinger‘ as two examples.  Now we are about to experience something that hasn’t occurred over America in a long time — a total eclipse.  But like the other phenomena, the dates are important.

The rise of America was a historical world event.  It was the first country to be founded on real freedom and was documented in our constitution of which was effectively cast in concrete (until recently).  But this didn’t just happen at any time in history.  It happened in a specific year (without picking documentation nits).  That year was 1776.

Considering God uses astronomical events as his ‘billboard’ to announce ‘things’, could it be possible that he is using his ‘communications system’ to tell us something — again?!  Now with that lead-in as a setup, please read the following article and ask yourself, “Is God trying to tell us something?”

The ‘Great American Eclipse’

For several years I’ve been telling my wife that the summer of 2017 was going to be very memorable.  Little did I know that it would be that memorable..?! I just hope there’s no crazy jihadi group out there with an EMP to detonate on August 28th..?

All I can say is what I’ve been telling people in the last year or so . . .  prepare.

The War On Our Kids

Leave a comment

In recent years we’ve seen an unbelievable assault on the healthy morals of this country.  What has been unacceptable in the past, is now considered ‘normal’ today.  Understanding that progressivism has made some progress in our country, should we not be reviled by the assault on our kids!

Please read the following regarding the blatant attack on the Christian values of our youth.

 

Children Under Siege – From After School Satan Clubs To TV Entertainment

News Image

By Tom Olago August 17, 2016

Children and youth are under a sustained spiritual siege. Indications are that there is a multi-pronged attack for the hearts and minds of the young; a concerted effort to capture their spiritual attention and mold their moral allegiances right from their earliest days.

One vivid example of this trend was recently reported: the opening of ‘After School Satan Clubs‘ by The Satanic Temple for children as young as five years of age.  Harry Farley for ChristianToday.com explained that the organization has billed the extracurricular option as a challenge to evangelical Christian after-school programming which they say has infiltrated America’s elementary schools.

“It’s critical that children understand that there are multiple perspectives on all issues, and that they have a choice in how they think,” said Doug Mesner, the Satanic Temple’s co-founder, according to The Washington Post. Mesner also goes by the professional name of Lucien Greaves.  [Note that Lucien seems somewhat close to ‘Lucifer’.]

As Farley noted, however, The Satanic Temple is not shy about who its real target is. The secular after-school clubs are being targeted at elementary schools where there are currently Christian programs known as the Good News Clubs.
“While the Good News Clubs focus on indoctrination, instilling children with a fear of hell and God’s wrath, After School Satan Clubs will focus on free inquiry and rationalism,” Greaves said. “We prefer to give children an appreciation of the natural wonders surrounding them, not a fear of an everlasting other-worldly horror.”
Franklin Graham, the outspoken evangelist, wasted no time in offering his response to the announcement. He said America was “already seeing the devastating effects of secularism everywhere” and called on followers to pray for Greaves’ “eyes to be opened to the truth of the Gospel and his own personal need of a Savior”.
Another initiative targeting the youth utilizes the ever-popular media channel of television. In a recent article for the Christian Examiner, Michael Foust reported on VH1’s controversial program Dating Naked – sexually explicit adult-rated content left open to the viewing of teenagers.
The VH1 show, rated TV-14, shows young adults dating ‘in the buff’. VH1 pixelates the private areas, although that does little to make it more acceptable.
“Most parents would be shocked to find their young teenagers watching this sexually-explicit nude dating show,” said PTC President Tim Winter. “But VH1, in all its wisdom, believes this kind of content is appropriate for middle school and high school aged children.”
Conservative groups such as the Parents Television Council and One Million Moms have fought back. Both have repeatedly urged their supporters to contact companies and ask them to pull commercials from the program.
The end result has been that major advertisers such as Sprint, Samsung and Panera Bread have agreed to stop sponsoring Dating Naked.  The latest company to drop its ads from it is Fruit of the Loom.
Fruit of the Loom released a statement which, according to One Million Moms, read, “Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern. Fruit of the Loom has a family friendly advertising policy that does not permit airing on mature or explicit programming. We are following up with the network to ensure brand advertising does not run during this specific program in the future.”
Monica Cole of One Million Moms said Fruit of the Loom responded to the campaign within “a couple hours” of it being launched.”VH1 should be ashamed to air nudity and then call it entertainment,” Cole wrote. “… This horrendous show, packed full of extremely graphic content, has been extensively marketed to teens.”
This kind of programming feeds yet into the next level or consequence of watching sexually explicit content: the actual practice of fornication by the youth, and the provision of free condoms to them on the premise that “they’ll do it anyway so we need to protect them when they do”.
Although the argument may have sounded plausible to some, time and extensive research has proven it wrong. John Stonestreet, Christian Post guest columnist recently posed the question:
“Remember those so-called “experts” who assured us that condoms would cut rates of fertility and STDs?
A recently released study by University of Notre Dame researchers Kasey S. Buckles and Daniel M. Hungerman has found that access to condoms in schools actually increases teen pregnancies by about 10 percent — that’s right, increases it!
Buckles and Hungerman selected 22 school districts in 12 states that started such programs back in the 1990s, including New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The study analyzed teen-fertility data from nearly 400 high-population counties over a span of 19 years.
Among the contributing factors Buckles and Hungerman cite is the possibility that condom-distribution programs can crowd out efforts to encourage young people to delay sexual activity. Condom-distribution programs may actually encourage more teenagers to have sex,” they said.
Stonestreet further posed the question: “Is this really that surprising? If adults tell teens that the decision to engage in sex is theirs and give them condoms, what message do they receive?”
Michael J. New, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Michigan at Dearborn further alluded to studies confirming the failure of the condom experiments on youth.
“Overall,” said New, “the study adds to an impressive body of research which shows that efforts to encourage contraceptive use either through mandates, subsidies, or distribution are ineffective at best or counterproductive at worst. In many countries, increases in contraception use are correlated with increase in the abortion rate.”
So what should Christian parents and guardians do then to counter the wave of ungodly attitudes and values targeting their children? Stonestreet’s advice: “Teaching our own kids about sex and design and relationships and marriage, while pointing out and countering the lies about sex proclaimed in the culture, is first and foremost our job as parents and as Christian communities.
Still, all indications are that Christian families will be swimming against the tide and fighting an uphill battle against the secular and humanistic culture snowballing across the world today.
Take the case of California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson who recently proudly announced a new framework that will impose lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered lifestyles into the curriculum as early as the second grade.
The announcement was as usual cloaked in the new politically-correct language and spirit of inclusion and anti-discrimination. The end result is that the concept of the traditional nuclear family with male and female parents raising children is undermined at an age when children are particularly vulnerable to indoctrination.
Editor’s Comment:
So, one should ask, does this make sense to the majority of this country?  Does it fit with the values this country was founded on?  If not, why aren’t parents raising ‘hell’ to get this stopped or isolated from their children?
I just wonder when/if the American public will wake up..?  My guess, when it is far too late…

America’s Future and Today

Leave a comment

A very large portion of the people in our country are angry, fed up, and distrust their government — for good reason.  They’ve been fed ‘bs’ for decades and are ready to ‘act out’ if something positive isn’t done soon.  And who can blame them.  But…

The voting (or not) citizens of this country are the ones responsible for those in Washington of which they complain about — for example our current president.  It is the useful idiots of America who do not think with any depth that have put us in this position.  If that angers you, welcome to my world.  Far too many people don’t care, are too lazy, too ignorant, or just plain don’t give a damn what happens — as long as they get their ‘stuff’.

Having become a socialist country (to a large extent) we are getting what we asked for — a crap sandwich.   No matter what you put on the outside, the inside is still crap.  And that is where we are today.  For years we’ve been voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’.  Well, that used to be just a phrase — now it is a fact.

No matter how you cut it, we are in big trouble.  Either way we will most likely be led down a very dark road…  for a long time.  We are at the point in chess where someone is about to say, “Checkmate!”.  One bad decision after another has brought us here and we’re about to step off a cliff.  A cliff leading to hardship and sacrifice.

When voting this November people should ask themselves, “If I were standing before God and he asked me why I voted for ‘that’ person, what would I say?”.  I don’t think because he/she is ‘the lesser of two evils’ would be an acceptable answer.  If the people of this country voted ‘their values’ regardless of who was put up for president, I seriously doubt we’d be where we are today.  And that goes for every congressman, senator, or government official.

If you listened to Trump’s acceptance speech and really ‘read between the lines’ (i.e., interpreted what he was really saying), it should scare the hell of you.  Obviously I am sharing my view which no one needs to agree with, but I see the man as a dangerous person.  He shares traits very similar to many people in history who turned out to be horrible and caused death and hardship.  Hopefully I’m wrong..?

But more importantly, we could potentially be ‘done for’ in very short order, regardless.  Some would say that I am being too melodramatic.  However, consider why the Roman Empire failed.  Read the following list of reasons and then ask yourself, have we completed any of these steps?

Five reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire. 

  • First: Rapid increase of divorce, with the undermining of the sanctity of the home, which is the basis of society.
  • Second: Higher and higher taxes; the spending of money for bread and celebrations.
  • Third: The mad craze for pleasure, sports becoming every year more exciting and more brutal.
  • Fourth: The building of gigantic armaments, when the real enemy was within; the decadence of the people.
  • Fifth: The decay of religion; faith fading into mere form, losing touch with life, and becoming impotent to guide it.

Now consider these verses in the bible.

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Pro 14:34)

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord…” (Psa 33:12)

“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Gal 6:7)

We have lost our way and it has become obvious.  When intelligent people start looking at evil answers as potential realistic solutions to our problems, we have lost our way — and our ‘compass’ (God).  Everything is now relative and nothing is sacred.  I’m afraid we’re about to learn a very costly lesson…?
