   A big get-together

   Things seem to be getting even more interesting in the Middle East. They say blood is thicker than water so is it possible the sons of Ishmael and their co-religionists are finally having a big get-together? What does this all portend for Israel? http://www.ibtimes.com/arab-nations-announce-historic-unified-military-force-counter-iran-isis-1861350 I ran across this site that previously didn't know about because I have not followed prophecy sites in the last dozen years. Walid Shoebat it seems has a site with something to say about the issue: http://shoebat.com/2015/03/27/is-the-ten-muslim-nation-confederacy-we-see-forming-to-fight-irans-expansion-is-the-same-ten-natio…

   Afghanistan democracy and freedom

   Is this the democracy our neocon leaders are sending our young men to fight and die for? To think that people of this sort are capable of handling a free and democratic nation is the height of stupidity. I don't think the PTB are stupid so they must being instigating wars here and there for another reason other than spreading democracy. Here is an example of the Afghani idea of freedom from Radio Freedom Afghanistan. On the news page is a video. If you cannot stand seeing violence of the worst sort do not click on the video. http://www.rferl.org/content/woman-killed-in-kabul-after-allegedly-burning-a-koran/26909733.html

    Is this somebodies sick joke or is something going on that we are not supposed to know about. We all know that Putin has been missing for the last week so something is going on. What? "The Ministry of Defense (MoD) is reporting today that the Federation is now in a “state of war” thus bringing to full activation President Putin’s “Dead Hand” nuclear order issued 29 July 2014 to The Strategic Missile Forces (SMF)" http://www.eutimes.net/2015/03/russia-warns-state-of-war-exists-as-uk-nukes-prepare-first-strike/

    Pieces of a puzzle

    There is a war of succession going on in Ukraine. The U.S. is sending a battalion from the Army to train Ukrainian troops in the arts of war. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/gov/4915002251.html Putting the pieces together it would appear that the U.S. Army are not going to be the only troops going to Ukraine. It appears that the U.S Marine Corp will soon be on it's way also. Plans and more plans that you and I don't get told about until it happens. It's that same old slippery slope that the "smart people" just can't seem to stay off of.

I doubt if its any different in Washington, judging by the decisions coming from there. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/top-adviser-chancellor-george-osborne-5251411#ICID=sharebar_twitter

    Taking sides! Is it just because they are run by a bunch of commies or is it because they are pragmatists and they see what is waiting for them if they don't begin speaking out? http://voxday.blogspot.com/2015/02/shots-across-bow.html#comment-form I thought I would post this also because I have been noticing in the past few years that not only the American government but the American people have forgotten what can possibly happen because of government actions. http://thebulletin.org/what-would-happen-if-800-kiloton-nuclear-warhead-detonated-above-midtown-manhattan8023

    Being Diplomatic

    Being diplomatic is something I have never been any good at and sometimes it has led to bad outcomes in my dealings with other people. But then my dealings with other people don't effect the future of a nation and numberless human lives, so who cares (but me of course). But if you are a professional diplomat and the way you deal with people determines the course of nations, I guess being diplomatic is important. Ambassador Jack Matlock doesn't think the U.S. government is very good at the trade. It's long and the first 7 minutes is introduction but the rest is a lesson in diplomacy and why we are where we are. Incidently he worked with President Reagan on ending the co…

    The government in Kiev (the government our government supports) left their men in Debaltsevo to die when they could have gotten them out. A few managed to escape the cauldron and some surrendered but many died. For what for a corrupt government. This little video shows a dog that survived the hell of war. His face and his behavior shows what it is to abandoned by those you trust. The poor dog no longer knows who to trust . . . . do the men who were only cannon fodder to their leaders trust anyone anymore. Sad.

    The Powers That Be are hard at it again. Actually that is a mischaracterization of the situation because they are not at it again . . . . they are at it still. They are always at it and they never quit until somehow things turn out in their favor.

    Well, things are really improving in my home state, Oregon. Our four time liberal governor finally got caught making a big mistake he couldn't cover up and is resigning. Replacing him and being sworn in will be our new governor, a self admitted and proud of it, bi-sexual woman. Things are just getting better and better in Oregon . . . . for the deviant class, that is. Unfortunately their is really no place to run or I would , if my feet would move as fast as they use too, if I could afford it, if I wasn't stuck in this place. Maybe I'll just fly away . . . . with the Lord's help. "They shall mount up with wings as eagles;"

    Voting Rights Of 1,015 Uk Prisoners Were Breached, Strasbourg Rules

    Back in the 16th century Henry VIII got the UK final appeal court back from Europe (the papacy). Our treacherous politicians have in recent years put our laws back to subjection to Europe. Most of which is RC and therefore minions of the papacy. A recent ruling of the European Human Rights Court has again said that UK is in breach of its jugments as we refuse to give convicted prisoners the right to vote. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/11402325/Voting-rights-of-1015-UK-prisoners-were-breached-EU-court-rules.html The sooner we leave the EU the better.
