I will start this post with a couple of quotes from History writers that lived in the Roman Empire: The first is from Sallust, a contemporary of Julius Caesar: “To those who had easily endured toils, dangers, and doubtful and difficult circumstances, ease and wealth, the objects of desire to others, became a burden and a trouble. At first the love of money, and then that of power, began to prevail, and these became, as it were, the sources of every evil. For avarice subverted honesty, integrity, and other honorable principles, and, in their stead, inculcated pride, inhumanity, contempt of religion, and general venality. Ambition prompted many to become deceitful; to keep …

I am afraid when the history of our times is written this move by Western leaders will be considered one of the biggest mistakes of the twenty first century. http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/05/putin-all-by-himself-in-red-square-with.html

I don't like posting so many things on the forums today but things are happening so fast in today's world and many of the happenings are not told to us, the American people, by our media. So I am posting this article because I believe the information to be true. Most probably will just discount it as propaganda, but so be it. Here it is: http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2015/04/26/washington-choreographing-all-out-war-with-russia.html

I hear so many people say, "It can't happen. Nobody is that stupid." Unfortunately it may not come down to stupidity but a lack of knowledge as to what your enemy is doing. Russia cannot tell if we are playing war games or really making war with our nukes. They could guess wrong and we are incinerated. Part of a discussion at M.I.T:

In another thread the people dying while trying to cross the Mediterranean was discussed. Here is a press conference where hardly any press show up, which is hardly surprising, considering considering who is to be asked questions: Geert Wilders’. In it he mentions the problem of Muslim refuges and what to do about it. I have long agreed with him. http://gatesofvienna.net/2015/05/a-press-conference-in-sodom-on-the-potomac/#more-36210

"It is the peoples right to know everything about their government. It is not the governments right to know everything about the people, unless it can prove probable cause to a judge." This is a long video but one that anyone who loves America ought to watch. If you don't think you want to watch it, just watch the portion from 2:29:00 - 2:32:00.

War is coming and it is the fault of the U.S. government. Our government is in the hands of the neocons and the neocons want war. They have been bullying one small country after another and getting away with it. Now they think the next biggest kid on the block will back down when they try to bully him. Well the truth is the other biggest kid on the block is not going to back down. The American people don't think war will ever come to their neighborhood but if our government persists in it's stupidity there is going to war in my neighborhood and yours. Anyone who thinks God owes America His protection on account of a few missionaries that we send around the world is …

Fox news is saying he has reached 270 electoral votes & it takes only 270 to win Before any of you blame me take notice my home state supported Mr. Romney so my vote would have changed anything. Like the election 4 years ago, again the republican political party, the powers that be within it, did not give Americans a good person to vote for, not even a conservative one.

On April 28 the U.S. Supreme Court reviewed the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, which upholds marriage laws in Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee. A ruling is expected in June. I voted for the law in Ohio, "marriage only recognized as between one man and one woman", and I'm praying daily it will be upheld. If upheld, the fear on the left is that many of the states whose laws were recently over turned will be able to reinstate those laws. The people of these states voted for the laws and should not be reversed by 'activist' judges. I hope you will pray daily or as often as you remember that the laws and 6th Court of Appeals decision will be upheld.

I/we knew the inclusion of homosexuality would lead to other groups having 'Protected Class' status. Here we go. When everybody has 'protected class' status does anyone have this status? NOTE: It did occur on 'national atheist's day.'

Nothing new, but the more it gets discussed and tossed about by the so-called experts the sooner it will happen and it is getting discussed quite a bit lately. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/9113394/Killing-babies-no-different-from-abortion-experts-say.html

This article is about an old happening but I put it in Current Events because in spite of all the precautions and all the double and triple checks, our military fail safe systems are all run by humans. It can happen today. There are those who say nuclear war cannot happen because our leaders are not that crazy or that stupid. That belief may make some feel safe and comfortable but is a false safety. Only God has kept the nukes from flying and only He can keep them from flying in the future. Will He always? http://english.kyodonews.jp/news/2015/03/343924.html
