From the mind to substance
since I have the time…
NY Post story that O has made a secret deal to throw his support for a Hillary 2016 presidential run and Bill is twisting his arm to make sure he follows through.
US is arming Jordan due to the conflict in Syria.
It’s being reported by France that Israel believes Russian anti-aircraft missiles won’t be ready for delivery until early 2013. Why this update hasn’t been covered by Fox or CNN seems curious.
Russia, Syria and Iran desperately hope to provoke Israel into a bad move so as to unite the Arab voice against one common enemy – Israel. Hizballah wants all the weaponry possible from Russia as a means to punish Israel for existing. Iran needs Hizballah to be armed to the teeth in the need for retaliation if Israel attempts a strategic attack against the nuclear program in Iran. Syria is the disguise for these actions. Putin and Russia a long time ago cast their hat with the Muslims in the Middle East, I believe for two reasons: 1. Atheistic nation (Russia) sees Israel as a symbol tied to the existence of God. 2. Close customers to buy military weaponry produced in Russia who will deal with reason 1. Add to this mix of news that Russia is now planning to resume nuclear submarine patrols in the southern hemisphere seas after twenty years of quiet.
I have not been keeping up with the unrest in Turkey and the marches in the capital, but it does smell like something orchestrated by groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists because Erdogan does have a friendly relationship with Israel and the western world. In their eyes you can not be a good Muslim and have alliances with the infidels and great Satan. Turkey is a significant strategic point for current and future military and the like dealings with Iran, Syria and Russia. If I was a gambling man that is where and why I would put my money. What does that mean? Well one thing for certain, if you are a female in Turkey who appreciates freedom you better be looking to move to Europe or the USA. When the Islamists and MB get things swirling – the end result is strife, violence and loss of freedom (see Egypt and Iran for current examples).
Meanwhile the pathetic government in the USA is expecting more concessions from Israel in order to get their Palestinian agenda pushed through. If Israel is wise they will not bite. They are already hemmed in amongst a violent and often hateful region, there is no need to further hamstring themselves. Three more years and our chief empty suit of a president will be replaced HOPEFULLY by someone much more wise, fair, honest, ethical and Christian.
Yes that is what it says. Put another way the Conservatives are to blame for the mess we have in our nation, capital and the vacuum of leadership in the White House.
Why?
Because they have not been able to produce at least one individual that is intelligent, collaborative, charismatic, engaging and strategic. They and we have not produced a person that has the potential to be a great leader for our country. Why is that? Are we to believe what the left says which is the bottom-line of quality conservative leadership is an oxymoron and an impossibility?
Is it because the so-called blue bloods are the only place that the powers that be (TPTB) look toward and they are all tainted? So another problem is the ridiculously limited scope of where they are looking for future leaders.
Is it because the money game has eliminated the best candidates since they are not tied to the money?
Is it because the practices of the media and left are so devastating to a person and their family that potential candidates have decided it is not worth it?
In my opinion all of these reasons still are tied to the poor leadership in the Conservative party. The problem is systemic in nature and requires swift surgical treatment so as to remove the tumors and cancer in the body of the Conservative body. So yes, they are to blame and sadly it seems the saying is true “physician heal thyself”.
Until they do people like our current president will be the people’s choice.
What would you do if suddenly hundreds of thousands if not millions of people suddenly disappeared?
Israel jets over E. Lebanon after Syria strikes
Israeli Air Force continues air strikes against Damascus
Russian sources: Syria set for war with Israel. Iron Domes at Haifa and Safed
NYT: Israel Targeted Iranian Missiles in Syria Attack
“Russian and Iranian media Sunday, May 5, predicted full-scale Middle East hostilities involving Israel erupting in the coming hours, in the wake of Israel’s renewed strikes against Iranian missiles bound for Hizballah and other targets around Damascus. Russian sources reported rumors that President Bashar Assad was on the point of declaring war on Israel.”
Assad desperately needs this development to blossom if he has any hopes of remaining in office and alive. This type of shift in the matters of Syria is theory will solidify Arab support against the common enemy – Israel. There are quite a few different ways this scenario can play out and it is far too early in the development to know with any reasonable certainty what will happen.
Undoubtedly what is in mind for some students of Bible prophecy is the references to a war/battle in which God says He will pull Russia and many of Israel’s enemies down to the mountains of Israel so that they will suffer a large defeat (Ezekiel 38). God draws them in with a hook and pulls them in to a confrontation with Israel. Historically this battle/war that WILL happen has yet to happen.
Bible text of reference below:
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
(Ezekiel 38:1-23 KJV)
NYT headline is Off-the-Cuff Obama Line Put U.S. in Bind on Syria. So it seems I had the nail on the head with my April 30th post. The chief empty suit was full of himself and spoke – not from notes – but the cuff and now due to his pride and arrogance it will lead to escalation of the USA military in Syria. The sad implication is that the loss of human lives is less important to O than his “face”. So our indebted nation is going to forgo how many millions of dollars in military weapons so he doesn’t have to honestly say that he misspoke? Moments like these show you a person’s character. What does it tell the discerning mind?
