Gov't War with the People.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com


I MUST learn to dress warmer when I go outside !!  I have good, warm clothes but I forget that I am U.P. North now and the Winter is throwing it's weigh around right now with below zero temps.  

I suppose that if things continue to get worse with an ultra Liberal, Socialist Gov't -- that soon I might end up in a concentration camp run by FEMA..... but for now I will be bold.

Last September, in “The government’s war at home,” St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner looked at some ominous developments that seem to indicate preparation on the government’s part for domestic warfare. The enemy? Oh, the usual suspects in these times of fear mongering about “right-wing violence”–”anti-federalists,” “Tea Party insurgents,” militias, etc.
The newest “enemy” (theoretically, of course–at the moment), according to authorities in Ohio, is “Second Amendment activists,” who are so angry about federal “gun control” laws that they use chemical, biological and radiological weapons against . . . someone–who that would be is not very clear.




Meanwhile, with retailers struggling to meet the demand for ammunition, and government agencies buying it up by the hundreds of millions of rounds (thus both further exacerbating private citizens’ difficulty in procuring ammo, and boosting these agencies’ own supplies to levels more than adequate to kill the entire citizenry), there are alarming indications that the military is further choking off citizens’ supply, by (illegally) destroying used cartridge brass that would otherwise be sold back to the civilian market and reloaded for inexpensive ammo.
Even far more chilling, if true, are allegations that the Obama administration has imposed a “litmus test” on senior military leaders, with an unwillingness to order troops to fire on American citizens being disqualifying for command. Stewart Rhodes, veteran paratrooper and founder of the Oath Keepers, told St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner that this claim, while deeply disturbing, is not in the least implausible:
“I find it very plausible. Frankly, I would be shocked if it were not happening. Now, I have no “smoking gun” confirmation of that, but let’s just say that it fits like a glove with all that we do know is fully confirmed.”

    Heart Attack -- and Water.

    Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com


    I bought one more 'toy' that came in the mail today...  a Leatherman multi-tool.  I know that I sound foolish for a mature gentleman, but I noticed that the preacher man, Kevin Sullivan, had a cheaper version hanging on his belt last week or so, and I just had to keep up with him....Ha!  Aside from the well made needle nose pliers, and other functions, I wonder if my Swiss Army knives are just as good....hummmmm.  

    Well, Tax season always bums me out this time of year, but we should be OK.  The old house I am trying to sell gives me stomach pains and worries, and I JUST WANT TO GET RID OF THAT PLACE IN WI, TO ELIMINATE THE BILL !!!   IT IS BECOMING  an albatross around my neck and beginning to stink! [if  you know the old sea tale.].  At least I have a professional on my side who will guide me soon so that I can take care of business. 

    Have you ever known a person who was selfish and mean, to the extent where they refused to even share a good recipe with you??   I don't see what the logic would be unless they hated you...  aside from being a poor teacher   who never learned how to communicate with humans.  I thought that I always had the gift to gab and practised speech in high school, also got into sales a few times in my life.  It's also a good way to make friends for life!  Well, you all know how I feel about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I hope.   All Christians are "ministers"  of sorts, and charged with the biblical education of their families and children !!! 
         It's like anything else -- you start out by taking one step at a time.   We found out that the Army had an effective way to teach people, and how to get their attention first.  When it comes down to a life and death situation, the Army knows that they need to be very effective in schooling the troops -- because just one man can get a lot of people killed if he makes one mistake!  So too, a Christian's TM [Technical Manual] is the Bible.   That fine Book is also referred to as "The Sword."  It takes practice to learn it well.

    Below is something I thought was so important and new to me -- that I knew I needed to share it with my friends and readers TONIGHT !  Please Share it.

    Warm Regards,
    Tommy Schuckman






    How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night!!

    Heart Attack and Water - I never knew all of this ! Interesting.......

    Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time. Answer from my Cardiac Doctor - Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement!

    I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Correct time to drink water... Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist! Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body: 2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
    1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
    1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
    1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack


    I can also add to this... My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.

    Mayo Clinic on Aspirin - PASS IT ON

    Mayo Clinic Aspirin Dr. Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

    Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.

    1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night. The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system.
    2. FYI, Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest for years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).

    Please read on. Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.

    Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart Attacks -

    There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently.

    Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.

    The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
    If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by. Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins. - Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN!

    A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!

    I have already shared this information. What about you?

    Do forward this message. It may save lives!

    This is one of the most fascinating, awesome things I’ve ever read about an animal,
    You will be utterly amazed. I hope you take the time to read it.
    The Amazing Camel
    Meet the Very Technical, Highly Engineered Dromedary Camel.
    When I'm hungry, I'll eat almost anything-
    A leather bridle, a piece of rope, my master's tent, Or a pair of shoes.
    My mouth is so tough a thorny cactus doesn't bother it.
    I love to chow down grass and other plants
    That grow here on the Arabian desert
    I'm a dromedary camel, the one-hump kind,
    That lives on hot deserts in the Middle East .
    My hump, all eighty pounds of it,
    Is filled with fat-my body fuel -- not water as some people believe. My Mighty Maker gave it to me because
    He knew I wouldn't always be able to find food
    As I travel across the hot sands. When I don't find any chow, my body automatically
    Takes fat from the hump, feeds my system,
    And keeps me going strong. This is my emergency food supply.
    If I can't find any plants to munch, my body uses up my hump. When the hump gets smaller, it starts to tip to one side. But when I get to a nice oasis and begin to eat again,
    My hump soon builds back to normal.

    I've been known to drink twenty-seven gallons of water in ten minutes. My Master Designer made me in such a fantastic way that
    In a matter of minutes all the water I've swallowed
    Travels to the billions of microscopic cells that make up my flesh.

    Naturally, the water I swallow first goes into my stomach.
    There thirsty blood vessels absorb and carry it to every part of my body. Scientists have tested my stomach and found it empty
    Ten minutes after I've drunk twenty gallons.
    In an eight hour day, I can carry a four hundred pound load A hundred miles across a hot, dry desert And not stop once for a drink or something to eat.
    In fact, I've been known to go eight days without a drink,
    But then I look like a wreck. I lose 227 pounds, my ribs show through my skin,
    And I look terribly skinny.
    But I feel great!
    I look thin because the billions of cells lose their water. They're no longer fat.
    They're flat.

    Normally my blood contains 94 percent water, just like yours. But when I can't find any water to drink,
    The heat of the sun gradually robs a little water out of my blood. Scientists have found that
    My blood can lose up to
    40 percent of its water,
    And I'm still healthy.
    Doctor's say human blood has to stay very close to 94 percent water.
    If you lose 5 percent of it, you can't see anymore;
    10 percent, you can't hear and you go insane;
    12 percent, your blood is as thick as molasses

    And your heart can't pump the thick stuff.
    It stops, and you're dead.

    But that's not true with me.
    Why? Scientists say my blood is different. My red cells are elongated.
    Yours are round.
    Maybe that's what makes the difference
    This proves I'm designed for the desert,

    Or the desert is designed for me. Did you ever hear of a design without a Designer?

    After I find a water hole, I'll drink for about ten minutes And my skinny body starts to change almost immediately. In that short time my body fills out nicely,
    I don't look skinny anymore,
    And I gain back the 227 pounds I lost.

    Even though I lose a lot of water on the desert,
    My body conserves it too. Way in the beginning when my Intelligent Engineer made me,
    He gave me a specially designed nose that saves water. When I exhale, I don't lose much. My nose traps that warm, moist air from my lungs
    And absorbs it in my nasal membranes.

    Tiny blood vessels in those membranes take that back into my blood. How's that for a recycling system? Pretty cool, isn't it. It works because my nose is cool. My cool nose changes that warm moisture in the air
    From my lungs into water.

    But how does my nose get cool? I breath in hot dry desert air,
    And it goes through my wet nasal passages. This produces a cooling effect, and my nose stays as much as 18 degrees cooler than the rest of my body.
    I love to travel the beautiful sand dunes. It's really quite easy, because
    My Creator gave me specially engineered sand shoes for feet. My hooves are wide, and they get even wider when I step on them. Each foot has two long, bony toes
    with tough, leathery skin
    between my soles,
    My feet are a little like webbed feet.

    They won't let me sink into the soft, drifting sand. This is good, because often my master wants me to carry him
    one hundred miles across the desert in just one day. (I troop about ten miles per hour.)
    Sometimes a big windstorm comes out of nowhere,

    bringing flying sand with it. My Master Designer put special muscles in my nostrils
    that close the openings, keeping sand out of my nose but still allowing me enough air to breathe.

    My eyelashes arch down over my eyes like screens,
    keeping the sand and sun out but still letting me see clearly. If a grain of sand slips through and gets in my eye,
    the Creator took care of that too. He gave me an inner eyelid that automatically
    wipes the sand off my eyeball just like a windshield wiper.

    Some people think I'm conceited because I always walk around
    with my head held high and my nose in the air.
    But that's just because of the way I'm made.
    My eyebrows are so thick and bushy
    I have to hold my head high to peek out from underneath them. I'm glad I have them though. They shade my eyes from the bright sun.

    Desert people depend on me for many things. Not only am I their best form of transportation,
    but I'm also their grocery store.
    Mrs. Camel gives very rich milk
    that people make into butter and cheese.
    I shed my thick fur coat once a year,

    and that can be woven into cloth.
    A few young camels are used for beef,

    but I don't like to talk about that.
    For a long time we camels have been called

    the "ships of the desert" because of the way we sway from side to side when we trot. Some of our riders get seasick.
    I sway from side to side because of the way my legs work. Both legs on one side move forward at the same time,
    elevating that side. My "left, right left, right" motion makes my rider feel like
    he is in a rocking chair going sideways.

    When I was six months old,
    Special knee pads started to grow on my front legs. The Intelligent Creator knew I had to have them. They help me lower my 1000 pounds to the ground.

    If I didn't have them,
    My knees would soon become sore and infected,
    And I could never lie down. I'd die of exhaustion.

    By the way,
    I don't get thick knee pads because I fall on my knees.
    I fall on my knees because I already have these tough pads. Someone very Great thought of me and knew I needed them.
    He designed them into my genes.
    It's real difficult for me to understand . . .
    How some people say I evolved into what I now am.

    I'm very technical, highly engineered, dromedary camel.
    Things like me don't just happen.

    Famine in N. Korea-- Starvation!

    teTom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

    Fat, Ignorant America really doesn't know what the term HUNGER means....yet!   This is an excerpt of the TPP-- Comments [Tea Party Patriots].  This is why combat Veterans usually have a higher IQ and head start on [civilians] when it comes to the horrors of war and battle!  We usually keep such things to ourselves, because we know that most folks back home could never accept and believe such horrors BUT, even the Bible and the ancient book of Flavius Josephus, a contemporary of Jesus' disciples told about the outcome of Jesus' words about the end of Jerusalem -- where the women would be eating their own offspring-- when the Romans sent 3 Legions under General Titus to punish the Jews and destroy that civilization, after Jesus was put to death on the cross.  

    Biblically Illiterate 2.0

    Q. A well known commentator on Jewish history has said that most Jews do not understand the Tanakh (Old Testament) because they only study the Talmud and Mishna. He suggests that one of the early reasons for blindness is that the Jews don’t understand their own scriptures. What is your understanding?

    A. I think he’s right. The Talmud and the Mishna are commentaries and don’t substitute for Bible Study. Luke 19:41-45 tells us Jesus held the Jewish leaders accountable for not knowing He was the Messiah. He could only do this because His life and ministry had so clearly been foretold in their Scriptures. When they failed to recognize the day of His coming, He said it would henceforth be hidden from their eyes and their city would be destroyed. And so it was.
    Unfortunately the same can be said about most Christians today. The signs that His return is near are all around us, and yet most Christians haven’t a clue because they don’t study the Bible. They may read Christian books and listen to sermons that are often only loosely related to the Bible, but for all intents and purposes they remain Biblically illiterate, especially where prophecy is concerned.

    Just thought one might like to read this as it will be covered in my next excerpt! Oh by the way this is not far off in coming right here to this country as well even as my next excerpt will verily explain!

    Horrific Reports of People Cooking & Eating Their Children — and Digging Up Corpses — Come Amid North Korean Famine

    North Korean Famine Allegedly Leads People to Kill & Cook Their Children | Cannibalism
    In this undated photo released by the Korean Central News Agency and distributed Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013 in Tokyo by the Korea News Service, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attends a consultative meeting with officials in the fields of state security and foreign affairs at undisclosed location in North Korea. Credit: AP
    While it’s certainly not the first allegation of cannibalism to come from North Korea, it’s equally as disturbing as those that preceded it. Troubling reports of a rise in starvation — and cannibalism — have emerged inside of a nation that continues to be intensely-secretive and shut off from the wider global community. According to an independent outlet called Asia Press, North Koreans are so desperate that they are increasingly turning to corpses and even murdering their own children for food.
    One man allegedly dug up his grandchild’s corpse and ate it. Another purportedly killed and boiled his child for food. Of late, yet another individual has reportedly been executed for killing two of his children for the same purposes.
    “In my village in May a man who killed his own two children and tried to eat them was executed by a firing squad,” one informant said of the latter incident.
    According to the source, the father killed his daughter while his wife was away on business. Then, he killed the son because the latter child had witnessed his sister’s murder. When the wife came back from her trip, her husband said that they now had “meat.” After becoming suspicious, she contacted authorities who later discovered parts of the children’s bodies.
    The “hidden famine,” as it has been called in North and South Hwanghae, is what appears to be driving this alleged horror. According to the Daily Mail, up to 10,000 individuals have lost their lives due to a lack of food — a figure that encapsulates the extreme desperation that may be driving the unthinkable.
    Of course, the secretive and insular nature of the North Korean government makes it difficult to ascertain definitively whether instances involving human beings consuming one another are actually on the rise as some sources have claimed. Asia Press, the independent outlet issuing these reports, describes itself as a media venue that is trying to be “free from any dependence on capital and authority.”
    While outlandish and unbelievable, this isn’t the first time the international community has heard similar stories. In the past, numerous reports about cannibalism have come from North Korea. The Daily Mail highlights some of these past instances:
    In May last year, the South Korean state-run Korean Institute for National Unification said that one man was executed after eating part of a colleague and then trying to sell the remains as mutton.
    One man killed and ate a girl and a third report of cannibalism was recorded from 2011.
    Another man was executed in May after murdering 11 people and selling the bodies as pork.
    In Oct. 2011, TheBlaze reported about Kim Hye Sook and the unbearable pain and emotional suffering that she endured during her 28-year detention in a secretive North Korean concentration camp. Brutal executions, starvation — even mothers killing and eating their children to ensure their own survival — were regular occurrences.
    In an interview with CBN News, Sook recalled a mother boiling her 9-year-old daughter. In a separate fit of desperation, a woman killed her 16-year-old son, chopped him up and took him to a butcher to obtain some corn in exchange.

    Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

    Good Day!  We have nasty, super slippery, ice covered roads U.P. where I live today, from freezing rain, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!  I don't hear or see ANY traffic today.... smart people.  Terri just fixed me a mess of ham, eggs and buttered 8 grain toast, so you just know that I feel like a king, although my back has been sore for a while.    Actually, it's also foggy out, but I feel in such good spirits that nothing can bring me down....  Thank you, Holy Spirit!  Thank you, Lord.

    At this point in my life, with a birthday coming up on Feb. 20th, [1949] I see myself surrounded by love, kindness, and many man-toys, stuff accumulated over time, little treasures, books, "hardware" and a good store of food....  sort of a 'Prepper' you might say --- 'Live Simple -- Live Well'  -- my old motto.  All praises and credit go to God, of course [and that's a "Given"].  Serving the Lord Jesus Christ, and following Him doesn't always mean that you will have a cushy, guarded, rich life [style], but obeying the Bible 'Laws' and statutes, Proverbs, etc., take away so many of our fleshly vices, and self imposed hardships.... like:  gambling, lust, pornography, adultery, Gay perversions, drunkenness, illegal drugs, and violence, etc, etc.  Then making the "fruits of the Spirit' @ Galatians 5:22, your own, if so profitable and good!  They are:  "Love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance." ~KJV Bible.    Again, let me confess, and set the record straight, dear friends,  I have studied the Bible seriously ever since I got home from Vietnam in 1970, but used a few translations, one  being published for/ by  the 'Church of the Poisoned Mind -- the JW folks...', and so when I finally exited them after 22 years of captivity [those nasty Cults...grrrrr], I pretty much had to RE- LEARN THE BIBLE!  I did read the NIV [meant for children and folks with limited education [sorry-- just my opinion], and many more/ other translations.  I feel that if one just doesn't care for the GREAT, PURE, POETIC KJV [KING JAMES VERSION] -- they might be interested in the New KJV, or the NASB....  also the too cool Audio Bible [listen to the great words, as I do, so soothing!].  The reason being that the newer translations have cut out, changed, butchered, truncated and mangled the PURE KJV for selfish, greedy and wicked reasons!!   And I can prove what I say.  See:  biblefortoday.org
           But...  don't take my word for it!  Go to the Good Will stores and buy a few different copies for a cheap price and COMPARE !!  Too, the DEFINED KJV Bible [biblefortoday.org]  is so fine  so as to take the older, archaic terms/ words that we are unfamiliar with -- from 1611 [ the same time period as William Shakespeare writing his famous plays and books]  like Romeo and Juliet... -- to define them all on the bottom of each page!  This tool has really helped me make a 'quantum leap' in my learning and appreciation!  I strongly encourage all to invest a tiny amount to buy a copy of this DEFINED KJV Bible...   soon!!  And learn why it has no rivals!
         But, again,  IF we HAD TO LEARN another language to gain heaven rather than hell---- would we not do it ???  Remember, at one time, only the rich and educated could own, learn and understand the old languages of Latin, Greek and Hebrew, so as to be able to know the Bible!!  Now days, we are so blessed to have it in many languages and available for small money $$$$ !  I carry a few in my Dodge Ram 4WD in case I find a person who really needs and wants one --- but I NEVER waste my time and money  to 'push it'  on those who are blinded by Satan's baloney -- who are so full of themselves and proud!  Let them fall into the pit of confusion.  The jaws of hell are ever so wide and open... and Satan appears as an angel of "Light" in his world -- earth.

    Don't you just love and admire Jan Markell's brave, cool, dauntless, courageous spirit and writing? !   She does not mince words!  I am sure that her reward in heaven will be great, and I try to donate to her cause twice a year to help with the printing expenses.  Enjoy!

    Warm Regards,
    Tommy and Terri Schuckman

    When Diplomacy Really Is Lunacy
    The Bible is clear that in the last days things won't make sense! Evil will be called good and good will be called evil. Dark will be light and sweet will be bitter. Self and money will be the primary gods. The real heart of mankind is going to be revealed in the last days. Look out! Scary. It's going to be ugly, self-centered and just plain evil.
    Like the evil of America sending 20 F-16 fighter jets to Egypt on the taxpayer dollar. That's a one-two insanity punch. First, we send the real bad guys our best planes and then you and I are billed! Egypt's President Morsi is a blatant dictator of the worst kind. He's a Muslim Brotherhood guy, who has received a ton of favors from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Clinton's closest aid, Huma Abedin, has ties to the Brotherhood, and thus, ties to this dealer in all things dark.
    The foreign aid deal was signed in 2010 when Morsi's U.S.-friendly predecessor Mubarek was in charge. So, does that make things more kosher? I don't think so. Besides, Egypt already has 200 of the aircraft and Egypt has no enemies presently. Who would attack her? It's a good-old-boys club over there with Egypt the prophesied "King of the South."
    Egypt is about to have more F-16s from America than Israel has.
    Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood has proceeded to remake Egypt into an Islamist state at a blistering pace. He's not on America's side and he for sure isn't on Israel's side. He has called the Jews apes, pigs, and bloodsuckers for starters. That doesn't sound like a Middle East broker -- rather, a power player with a chip on his shoulder and evil intent.
    He is famous for this touching statement: "Dear brothers, we must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews, and all those who support them. They must be nursed on hatred."
    Yet our White House and State Department are determined to arm him to the hilt! As I said, our times don't make sense. Arming Morsi is about as productive as sending Syria's Bashar Assad some additional chemicals for his chemical arsenal.
    Here's what the Morsi administration guarantees:
    1) War with Israel.
    2) Further destabilizing the Middle East.
    3) Causing blockades of the Suez Canal and using that geographical hot spot as a sort of bargaining chip with friends and enemies.
    4) Joining forces with the Islamic Republic of Iran to totally destabilize the region and double the threat against Israel.
    5) Furthering the cause of the Muslim Brotherhood that sees a global caliphate with the Islamic flag above every other flag in the world.
    6) Continuing to arm Hamas so they can chip away at Israel.
    7) Continuing the slaughter of Egypt's own people who now realize Morsi's promises of glory days coming to Egypt were a big lie.
    Why on earth do this White House and State Department want to arm this Islamic stronghold that is not even a friend let alone an ally? Morsi's Egypt is an outfit that would not think twice about obliterating Israel. They want the Islamic flag flying over the White House. Yes, some of our nation's leaders love Islam far more than Christianity but that is not a full explanation of this insanity.
    Author and commentator Bill Salus writes, "It's important to note that within six years after Egypt gained its independence in 1922, the Muslim Brotherhood was founded by Egyptian Hassan al-Banna in March of 1928 as an Islamist religious and political movement. Hassan al-Banna was an acknowledged admirer of Adolph Hitler and frequently corresponded with him. During the 1930s the Muslim Brotherhood became a secretive arm of Nazi Intelligence. The Third Reich intended to develop the Muslim Brotherhood into a Nazi army inside of Egypt.
    He concludes,"On October 26, 1954, the Muslim Brotherhood was suspected in the assassination attempt of Egyptian president Gamal Abd al-Nasser. This justifiably began a period of repression of the Muslim Brotherhood by the Nasser government. Then on October 6, 1981, Nasser's successor, Anwar Sadat was assassinated, and the Muslim Brotherhood was strongly implicated with his death. But now, with Nasser, Sadat, and Hosni Mubarak out of the Egyptian presidency, the Muslim Brotherhood can finally attempt to attain their goals to implement Sharia law in Egypt, and to form a new United Arab States with Jerusalem as its capital city, through Egypt's new president Mohammed Morsi."
    The stakes are high and America is playing with matches. America could be a key player in lighting the whole region aflame by arming the "King of the South," Egypt. And as Islam expert Andrew McCarthy says, "When you 'partner' with Islamists, you are abetting the global jihad, not opposing it. When you arm Islamists, you become a willing participant in your own undoing."
    It's last days' madness and if we didn't know that glorious days are ahead fellowshipping with loved ones at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, we could collectively scream over the lunacy of modern-day diplomacy. Unspeakably evil men and women plot and scheme to cause maximum harm all in the name of good diplomatic relations! Only in the end-times.
    Come, Lord Jesus, and rule!
