This article was written by Brandon Smith of Alt-Market.com and first published at PersonalLiberty.com.
Editor’s Comment: The situation is becoming desperate. Perhaps Trump was meant merely to distract Americans, or perhaps he is doing exactly what is expected of him – by those who placed him in power. Either way, the country is bitterly divided along partisan lines. Many of the most important principles have been abandoned for a cultural war that isn’t likely to stop, or die down, but rather to explode in the volley back and forth between left wing and progressive opponents, and alt right and conservative factions.
But as Brandon Smith predicts, this narrative will go on not by itself, but in all probability, with the aid a truly stunning attack – perhaps even on American soil. Another large-scale terrorist attack may be need to shock unruly voters and concerned citizens back into their hovels, back onto the reservation. How else would a war with Iran, and more police state actions in the streets be justified? The implications are clear – confusion, violence and especially terror will be used to drive home the message. This is above Donald Trump’s head, beyond the power of the presidency. This is the cynical and very real powers behind the throne, and there is nothing they wouldn’t stoop to.
Be very cautious in the next few years; not only is society disaster ready and disaster prone, but principled activists, conservatives and gun owners are likely to be tested. There are those who are looking for a response; who are looking for a reason, and who are interested in people seeing their differences, rather than unite around a common enemy. Until more calm and clear thinking comes, confusion and chaos will rule the day.
Globalists Want To Destroy Conservative Principles – But They Need Our Help
by Brandon Smith
For months now, long before the 2016 election, I have been warning about a specific social dynamic which is likely to lead to a form of civil war within the U.S.; namely, the reality that people on the left side of the political spectrum would become despondent at the inevitable loss of their candidate, Hillary Clinton, and that they would react by becoming far more militant. In my article ‘Order Out Of Chaos: The Defeat Of The Left Comes With A Cost’, published November post-election, I stated:
“When I mentioned in my last article the crippling of social justice, I did not mention that this could have some negative reverberations. With Trump and conservatives taking near-total power after the Left had assumed they would never lose again, their reaction has been to transform. They are stepping away from the normal activities and mindset of cultural Marxism and evolving into full blown communists. Instead of admitting that their ideology is a failure in every respect, they are doubling down.
When this evolution is complete, the Left WILL resort to direct violent action on a larger scale, and they will do so with a clear conscience because, in their minds, they are fighting fascism.”
I believed at that time that the social-justice cult would lose mainstream influence but that the existing minority would resort to even more insidious tactics and greater violence to get what they want; and, the so-called “moderate left” would cheer them on.  As it turns out, I have been proven right so far.
Not that extreme Leftists have been averse to violence over the past year, but I think it is safe to say that the volume on the cultural Marxist machine has been turned up a notch. The riot at UC Berkeley over a scheduled speech by gay, conservative speaker Milo Yiannopoulos is a perfect example:

Then, there was the raid by SJWs at NYU on a speech by conservative journalist and comedian Gavin McInnes, in which they shouted down all discussion with mindless chants until the event had to be canceled. This was, of course, after they had already physically attacked people outside the building, including McInnes:

The social justice mantra is changing. At first, it was predominately about forming mobs to “shame” target political opponents into silence. Now, it is about forming mobs to do what they call “punching Nazis.” Leftists are now often seen regurgitating the claim — “This is only the beginning…”
I agree, this IS only the beginning. The Left is driven not only by the ideology of cultural Marxism, but also a very specific activist strategy outlined in Saul Alinsky’s ‘Rules For Radicals’. The very core of Alinsky’s method revolves around one important rule in particular: the ends justify the means.
This is the key ingredient of moral relativism, and when a movement is motivated by moral relativism, there is no limit to the depths they will sink to get their way. Activists adopting the “ends justify the means” mentality are not interested in being “right,” or wise, or rational or logical or factual; they ONLY care about “winning.” This is their goal, and they will do anything to achieve it.
It is important to note, however, that all of these protests and the increase in violence is not taking place in a vacuum. As many liberty analysts have noted, Trump has hardly had time to do anything yet that would warrant national protests. Is Trump really the only catalyst? Not quite. The mainstream media and globalists like George Soros have been very effective in agitating or outright paying protesters and provocateurs to generate zombie mobs of gullible Leftists to use as a billy club for harassing conservatives.
That said, I want liberty activists and analysts to ponder on this for a moment — to what end is this being done? Why is Soros so interested in fomenting leftist rage? Is it designed to overthrow Trump? To initiate mob action and frighten conservatives into silence? Or do the globalists have a greater and more important goal in mind?
I have been writing often on the idea of 4th Generation Warfare the past month, and I think my readers are now well versed in the concept of the “three-steps-ahead” style of tactics, as well as the concept of manipulating an opponent to destroy himself, rather than fighting him directly. These are not new methods, the globalists have merely taken them to the next level.
But how do 4th Gen warfare tactics apply to the current Right vs. Left scenario in the U.S.? Well, everything is not as obvious as it seems.
As I outlined in-depth in my article Clinton Versus Trump And The Co-Option Of The Liberty Movement, globalists and the leftist media have been, in a strange way, quietly cheering for Trump, but only as a tool for absorbing the liberty movement (what they still call the “Tea Party”). This glee is made rather evident in an article published by Bloomberg in August titled The Tea Party Meets Its Maker.
There is a point I have been trying to make for most of the year that I think has been consistently missed by many in the liberty movement. That point being that the greatest danger to conservatives is NOT militant Leftists, but how we RESPOND to militant Leftists. That is to say, I believe the globalists are using the Left as a cattle prod to enrage conservatives and lure us into abandoning our principles in the name of defeating Marxists.
Consider this; the argument among most liberty analysts has been that the numerous anti-Constitutional programs put in place by the Obama administration in the past eights years would eventually be used by the political Left and the globalists as weapons to subdue and destroy conservatives and patriot groups. While Obama certainly tested the waters of tyranny over and over again, up to and including using executive orders to assassinate American citizens without trial, it is clear that those extensive powers afforded to the White House are no longer in the hands of the left; they are in the hands of Trump.
Obama even signed the “Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act” into law AFTER Trump had already won the White House. Trump has now inherited this power as well, which seems to give government the authority to harass or even silence news sources they deem “fake news.” While many liberty activists cried foul and warned of a “coup” designed to shut down alternative news sites and thwart Trump’s inauguration, I warned that there was a much more dangerous scenario in play.
What will conservatives do in the face of the leftist mob funded by globalists and growing ever more vicious? Well, what do the globalists expect us to do? I think they expect us to look at all the government powers we once admonished as unConstitutional and say “hey, maybe these laws and executive orders are not so bad after all…”
I think the globalists are handing us the incredible temptation of far reaching bureaucratic power, and they expect us to abuse that power, as almost anyone would.
As an alternative analyst I am privy to trends in the liberty movement and in conservative circles that might not be immediately obvious to casual readers. Already, I am witnessing calls among conservatives to abuse government power to defeat the Left. I have seen comments such as:
“Trump should use the NDAA to imprison these leftists indefinitely…”
“The only solution is to throw the leftists into FEMA camps…”
“Trump needs to shut down the leftist media…”
“Sometimes it is okay to bend the rules of the constitution if you have the right president…”
And comments like this are popping up everywhere in liberty media boards. Now, I recognize that some of this talk is being posted by paid disinformation agents and provocateurs, but, I have heard regular conservatives and patriots, people who are long time proponents of the Constitution, echo similar sentiments.
I often use the analogy of the “One Ring” from The Lord Of The Rings to describe big government power. I really can’t find a better fictional symbol. Anyone who comes into possession of the “one ring” is eventually corrupted by it. Many good people believe that its darker energy can be contained and directed for good purposes, but they, too, are ultimately undone by it. The only answer, the only solution, is to abandon the ring, or to destroy it.
Overt government power is very much the same; it corrupts any person or group that comes in contact with it. Every group thinks that if only THEY were in possession of government that they would do things differently. This is a delusion. No person or group is benevolent enough to handle this responsibility, and this includes conservatives. Many groups would commit egregious and heinous crimes to take government for themselves, or keep it for themselves, all the while so many Saurons (globalists) laugh and smack their lips as the masses battle over numerous rings of power.
As I have noted time and time again for the past several months, Trump is the perfect tool for scapegoating conservative movements for the economic crisis the elites have already engineered. But, this is only one part of the agenda. In the midst of chaos generated by financial calamity, the morals of an entire society can become “malleable”.  The most important target of the globalists is not only conservatives, but the conservative philosophy. They don’t just want to annihilate conservatives today, they want to annihilate conservatives for all time.
The globalists cannot accomplish this task without our help. They NEED us to adopt an attitude of moral relativism, much like the Left. They need us to turn into totalitarians. They need us to become the monster we claim we want to defeat. Only then can conservative principles be demonized for all time. Only then will history look back on us as a stain on the human record.
This is the globalist’s long game.
While Leftists are being encouraged to mutate into wild frothing packs of rabid dogs, conservatives will be encouraged either through temptation or manipulation to respond in kind. The Left’s propaganda train asserts that we are “fascists.” Obviously, we are the furthest thing from this. But, with enough violence and aggressive censorship on their part, we might end up saying “Okay, you want to see fascism, we’ll show you fascism!”
The social justice cult has no idea what they are being led into. The globalists are going to throw them to the wolves, and WE are the wolves.
It is important to note that the Left is also not the only instigator for conservatives to turn totalitarian. Islamic terrorism is always a perfect rationale for increased government intrusion in the name of safety. And the worst part is, the threats from the Left and the threats from Islamic extremism are in most cases quite legitimate, and they seem to be working hand-in-hand more each day.  The progressive interference with steps towards more rational immigration policies and their steady defense of Sharia Law leads many conservatives to see them as one in the same threat.  No foreigner is entitled to citizenship in the U.S., but leftists live in a fantasy world of open borders.  The left’s refusal to entertain reasonable and selective immigration will eventually push conservatives towards more drastic measures, which is the ultimate point.
Very few Americans like Communists, and very few Americans like Muslim zealotry; the justification for totalitarian measures to disrupt such threats is relatively easy for many people.
This is why I am going to make my next prediction of a major geopolitical event to close out this article — I believe there will be a large scale terrorist attack within the next three months, beyond the mob actions of the Left already in progress.
It will either be similar in scope to 9/11, or, it will be a succession of many smaller attacks occurring over the course of a few days to a couple of weeks. I believe that the current dispute over border controls and immigration denial will come immediately into play. Trump will blame Leftists for obstructing his efforts for secure immigration. Leftists and the media will blame Trump for “radicalizing” Muslims with his immigration policies, or perhaps even accuse him of staging the attacks himself. Trump will begin taking extraordinary measures beyond the Constitution to ensure immigration denial and the thwarting of the Left, and conservatives will applaud him for it.
Again, conservatives are being led by globalists into the temptations of power. The only way for us to fight back is to maintain our principles and refuse to support ANY government measure that is unConstitutional, even if it is to be used against our enemies. The only way that the heritage of liberty can be defeated is if the proponents and champions of liberty forsake it. We beat the globalists in the long run by standing by our ideals and fighting back within the bounds of the principles we hold dear. Dominance through government is never the answer.

Hei venner i Norge! Det er et velkjent faktum, at mange fine folk fra Norge har krysset Atlanterhavet, for å komme til Amerika, lenge siden, og de har vært en kreditt og hardtarbeidende gruppe, med ære og høy intelligens flette inn i vår amerikansk kultur ! Jeg fikk alltid sammen med dem, og de synes å ha et smil mest av tiden og en hard arbeidsmoral dypt forankret i deres store hjerter! Deres språk er lignende, i min mening, til tysk, som jeg har studert i mange år, og som er fint, også.
Jeg er veldig glad for at flere norske folk seg og leser min ydmyke blogg: TOM'S dagbok ! Hvis noen kan lese og skrive engelsk, kan du sende meg og fortelle meg hva du synes om verden i generelt, eller hva noensinne utløser tankene dine. Takk, veldig mye.

Friends,
    As most of you who read my humble blog know,  I was sent to Germany, when I served in the U.S. Army, in early 1968, and really loved it there and started learning more German there in many ways, including a free after work school for American Soldiers, taught by a beautiful German National, lady.  
    I have always wanted to travel,  but most folks just don't have that kind of money in Middle Class America, as paying bills, and house payments come first.   So, after doing research in high school,  joining the Military was about the only way to see the outside world.   As every country seems to censor and control the News on TV and the News Papers to some extent,  traveling to foreign countries give a person more insight and 'truth' about the "Read World."     And there is nothing like getting Intel/ Info straight from the horse's mouth.

    E.O. Ban on Childhood Vaccinations.

    Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/


    tschuckman@aol.com




    Here,  You see, friends,  I was not making things up at all, in all my prior posts about Veterans getting the 'dirty end of the stick' and abuse all these years ! !   Read:


    Thomas,

    Earlier this week, the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee unanimously approved David Shulkin's nomination to be Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
     
    Shulkin already has experience working in the department--he served as the VA's top health official under Secretary Bob McDonald--and is no stranger to the problems that plague the agency. But his plans for transforming the VA Department are yet to be seen.
     
    During his confirmation hearing, Shulkin promised to reform the Choice Program and streamline the appeals processes for disability claims and pension compensation. Those are issues that have been acknowledged for some time now, and there are many more problems that Shulkin will need to address as VA Secretary.
     
    For starters, the VA and its employees are still unaccountable to veterans and taxpayers. Shulkin can look to reforms such as the VA Accountability Act and the VA Accountability First and Appeals Modernization Act as great ways to ensure poor performing VA employees are terminated in a timely fashion, without affecting veterans' services.
     
    If Shulkin is serious about reforming the health system so veterans receive timely, quality care, making small changes to the Choice Program is not the solution. The Caring for our Heroes in the 21st Century Act is a solution which would allow all veterans--not just those few who qualify for the Choice Program--to decide which health care provider will best meet their needs. 
     
    With Shulkin's confirmation likely in the next week or two, Concerned Veterans for America would like to hear more about his plans to empower veterans with more choice and control over they care they receive. The VA Department has failed veterans for too long--we need a Secretary who has plans ready to implement serious reforms.

    Trump Signs Executive Order Issuing 90-Day Ban On Childhood Vaccinations

    (katz / Shutterstock, Inc.)

    Late Monday afternoon President Trump announced what may be one of his most controversial decisions to date when he signed an executive order placing a temporary 90-day ban on all childhood MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) vaccinations.
    The executive order will require all pediatric doctors to refuse the administration of MMR vaccinations in all of their patients under the age of 18-years-old for the next 90-days or risk losing their medical license.
    Additionally, the executive order implements a mandatory freeze on all MMR vaccinations from pharmaceutical distributors to health care professionals during these 90-days. According to representatives from the Trump Administration, a team will be immediately assembled to ensure compliance of the order and to identify any vaccines that have been distributed to medical centers within the 90-day freeze.
    According to President Trump, a team of the best independent researchers, scientists, and medical professionals will be assembled to research the issue of vaccination safety and the potential link to autism within vaccinated children.
    At the time of this writing, no announcements have been made regarding the individuals tasked to work on the above-mentioned group of researchers, scientists, and medical professionals, however, according to sources within the Trump Administration, the president has considered appointing his long-time personal physician, Dr. Harold N. Bornstein to lead the investigating committee.
    The executive order has undoubtedly sent shockwaves throughout the country, however, many are pleased by the executive order and point to the decision as yet another campaign trail promise delivered upon by President Trump. Throughout the past several years, Trump has been very vocal in his support for additional research into the possible correlation between childhood vaccinations and autism.
    On March 28, 2014, Trump tweeted:
    Additionally, on September 03, 2014, he tweeted:
    Medical professionals and parents of small children across the country have already organized to protest the president’s decision. Robert K. Huller, a university law professor told reporters that as unorthodox and potentially dangerous the president’s temporary freeze on vaccinations may be – ordering the 90-day ban is well within his executive abilities. Huller doesn’t believe a federal judge would be successful in efforts to block or reverse the executive order.
    A White House official speaking on behalf of the administration stated “It has been clear to many within the medical community that there is a sickness inside us.  This sickness has been growing for years and seems to correlate with the rise in vaccination rates.  The President has asked the public to rally around his decision using the hashtag #cureforwellness.”
    In addition to the executive order banning childhood vaccinations, President Trump has ordered the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) to remove all vaccination related information from their official government website. The executive order requires the CDC to remove all vaccination related material

    Hello  Friends,
         I realize that many of you --- including me, don't understand all this Satan worship stuff,  because we are just 'not into that sordid crap,' and the Bible clearly tells us 'commands us' to shun those harmful practices, completely.   Ancient Israel even called for he death penalty if someone were caught doing witchcraft !   And no one can eat from the table of the Lord, and the table of demons !    Our God IS A JEALOUS GOD, and rightfully so.   
           Now,  as a bible smart, well studied Christian, I could lay a dozen pointed, scriptures here right now concerning Satanism and the Occult.   But a simple, 'Rule of the Thumb' is:   Just stay far away from Satan and the Occult, and you will be pleasing to the Lord, and you will remain safe.    We need only educate ourselves of these evil things and people, using the Bible:

    Halftime HELL: Satan speaks through Lady Gaga to declare dominion over the Earth (while Pope Francis blesses) (satire)

    Image: Halftime HELL: Satan speaks through Lady Gaga to declare dominion over the Earth (while Pope Francis blesses) (satire)
    (Natural News) Before you get into this article, note that I’m marking it “satire.” Yet none of the themes unveiled here are actually funny. This is serious stuff… it’s just that 99.9% of humanity isn’t ready to cognitively grasp what I’m about to present here, so until people are more ready to face the reality of demonic evil in our world, I’m going to label all this a weekend joke. Funny, isn’t it? If it’s too much for you, don’t take it too seriously. The NFL is a joke anyway, right?
    The average Superbowl viewer is so totally clueless about reality that they have no idea what they’re even watching. Over the last several years, the NFL has slowly given way to the agenda of truly evil globalists, pushing quack science fraud (breast cancer “awareness” propaganda), anti-American hatred (Colin Kaepernick’s nauseating antics), cultural subversion agendas and vulgar halftime shows that frequently invoke Satanic imagery in ritualistic fashion (see the multitude of photos and videos below for proof).
    But those assaults on the human psyche are nothing compared to the “big agenda” of using the Superbowl halftime platform. I realize this may be hard for people to grasp if they aren’t informed about the deeper layers of wretched evil that have infested our world — the pizza shop pedophile stories barely scratch the surface — but the real purpose of the Superbowl halftime show is to ritualistically celebrate the power of Satan right in the open, declaring his dominion over the Earth by glorifying his imagery, words and worship on national television.

    Superbowl halftime shows are saturated with symbols of demonic rituals and Satan worship

    If you’re not aware that this has been happening throughout Superbowl halftime shows in years past, you are wildly uninformed about the depth and brashness of the Satanic symbolism shoved right in your face during every Superbowl “indoctrination” ritual. The symbols are irrefutably Satanic and linked to Illuminati agendas of human sacrifice, occult power and dominion of the minds of the masses. Here’s a tiny taste of what has been broadcast to 100+ million live viewers in previous Superbowl halftime shows: (see Lady Gaga’s “Hell puppet” imagery below, from the 2017 Superbowl halftime rituals)
    Egyptian “sun disc” ritual magic symbol which covered the stage during a recent halftime performance:

    Madonna’s “Mark of the Beast” dancing stage:

    Madonna mimicking a Satanic figure in her worship of dark power and demonic forces:

    Madonna dancing inside obvious Masonic symbolism, complete with protection pillars and early “Ox” symbols from which the Nazi swastika was derived:

    The “Eye of Sauron” — all-seeing evil eye of power projected onto the set while Madonna dances in worship to the demonic power:

    Madonna literally singing lyrics that invoke the “witching hour” of peak Satanic power before descending into the stage in a depiction of sinking into Hell:

    Beyonce flashing the Illuminati pyramid symbol during her Superbowl halftime performance:

    Beyonce’s Eye of Sauron all-seeing eye, repeating Madonna’s Satanic “eye” symbolism. Many of these symbols are ritualistically repeated multiple times across many halftime shows:

    Katy Perry’s Illuminati symbolism, indicating her worship of demonic forces and surrender to evil (from a music video, not the Superbowl halftime):

    See all this explained (and more) in this video:

    Giant CERN wormhole projected through the floor of another Superbowl halftime performance, accompanied by “dark matter” symbolism and depictions of Shiva, the goddess of destruction and death:

    Picture of Shiva, the Goddess of death and destruction, which is an actual statue staged outside the CERN research center:

    Composite image of CERN hardware with Shiva, the death goddess, inside the “wormhole”

    CERN wormhole imagery from a previous Superbowl halftime ritual is explained in this video:

    Lady Gaga as “Hell’s puppet”

    This year’s Lady Gaga halftime “Satanic ritual,” however, outdoes them all. That’s why Pope Francis blessed this year’s NFL broadcast for the first time ever: He’s a globalist plant, run by demonic forces who carried out a Vatican coup to replace Pope Benedict with an evil “globalist Pope” who would follow the bidding of Satan. (How’s that for a satirical synopsis of the most recent Vatican conspiracy?)
    He selected this year’s Superbowl for special blessings, obviously knowing in advance that he would be invoking the power of the Vatican to bless one of the most Satanic, demonic live Satan-worshipping ceremonies ever broadcast.
    It began with Lady Gaga being lowered into a red fiery platform on cables (i.e. descending into Hell), then dancing in a way that depicted her as a puppet on “puppet strings” (indicating she’s a puppet of Satan):

    Here’s a depiction of a female succubus from Anime, showing the sexual seduction of deceptive female Hell minions who lure you into surrendering your soul:

    And here’s how Lady Gaga depicted herself in a crotch-centric seduction dance while wearing eye makeup that almost perfectly matches the female succubus above:

    Check out the uncanny resemblance:

    Note the similarity of her almost “horned shoulders” with depictions of the female succubus, a minion of Hell:

    Lady Gaga even carries her own “power staff” based on a very precise geometry, as is frequently depicted by Hellish minions who wield power over the souls of others:

    As she’s singing, reddish Hell-like fire consumes the stage around her, from which red-colored “horns” of the owl symbolism are repeated throughout: (the “owl” is one of the key symbols of Illuminati domination and is even found in the layout of the streets of Washington D.C.)

    As fans celebrate he Lady Gaga demonic performance, they are awash in “blood” red lighting, providing the camera a scene that’s framed to show masses of Hell’s minions (with the horned owl symbols in plain view) worshiping the Gaga goddess, the puppet of Satan as she flies through the air with witch-like powers:

    Meanwhile, Gaga stands atop a tower depicting the kind of “evil architecture” typically associated with dark forces such as the Dark Lord Sauron in the Lord of the Rings. Notice the clear depiction of Hell with the fiery red pyrotechnics and smoke, all while “Satan’s puppet” dances atop a tower of evil while the bloodwashed masses cheer in celebration:

    Here’s a wider shot of the “stage of Hell” into which Lady Gaga descends, clearly depicting a “descent into Hell” where she performs and is worshiped by the blind, obedient masses:

    Here’s Lady Gaga on the keyboard during halftime, being obediently worshiped by minions whose light hues are controlled by “central command.” The message is that they are nothing but “human drones” to follow the bidding of their master, Lady Gaga:

    Lady Gaga’s blood-red stage with dancers dressed in white “psych ward” outfits, while it’s all sponsored by the PEPSI logo (Pepsi used aborted fetal cells in its soda flavoring research, see the link here).

    Here’s a top-down view that was broadcast for less than one second, making it almost subliminal. Can someone decipher the symbols and meaning of this obviously engineered composition?

    Here’s Gaga singing in “Hell” with fireballs unleashed behind her as a “sea of obedient human drones” follows orders to worship her as a true goddess of the underworld:

    The dancers are not only dressed like escaped psych ward patients… this black dancer appears like a hooded KKK member as multiple dancers flip their white hoods over their heads during a song routine… complete with pointy hats and everything, as their master Lady Gaga is elevated to a higher position on the platform behind the hooded black dancers:

    Why Satan is now right out in the open

    These Satanic rituals are being shoved in our faces on live television because Satanic forces across the planet are, for the first time in a very long time, finally being exposed for what they truly are. With Wikileaks exposing the Jon Podesta emails — and the truly evil Hillary Clinton being defeated by forces of good — the minions of Satan have come to realize they have a genuine fight on their hands.
    That’s why they are ratcheting up the mass poisoning of human minds with chemicals, heavy metals, info-terrorism and indoctrination efforts. The goal is to achieve such a deep poisoning of the human psyche that mindless mobs of obedient human slaves will literally bow down before Satan and worship his agenda as it is rolled out through CNN, Hollywood movies, pop culture music and extremely dangerous multi-dimensional scientific experiments (CERN, large-scale quantum computing, etc).
    Satanic puppet masters like George Soros are desperately pumping funds into front groups that specialize in disinformation and deception, hoping to push America into a bloody civil war, producing a wave of human pain and suffering on which the demonic forces feed. While the front groups get their financial funding from Soros, he gets his dark energy recharge from Satan himself, carrying out Satan’s plan to unleash chaos, mayhem, death and destruction across this realm through the strategic spread of hatred, intolerance and disinformation disguised as “liberalism.”

    What is Hijrah ?

    And people here in the USA just don't think starvation is possible,  like it is in Venezuela  !   Ha!   And we NEVER hear about  that country on the 'News'  either.




    Infants are now starving to death in socialist Venezuela






    Image: Infants are now starving to death in socialist Venezuela
    (Natural News) Venezuela has a child malnourishment problem. Kids are fainting in classrooms and dying from hunger. Common images of Venezuelan children show how unhealthy and slim they are. Food shortages are causing major problems. Physicians are seeing cases they haven’t witnessed in nearly 40 years, including the fatal malnutrition condition known as marasmus.
    Children are showing up at hospitals with swollen heads and bellies. Some are so skinny that their skin is stuck to their bones. The vice president of the Assembly’s Health Committee acknowledged that twenty percent of Venezuelan children are suffering from malnutrition, and area hospitals have seen a surge in severe malnutrition cases.
    Ninety percent of Venezuelan households don’t have the proper resources to follow a healthy diet. The country is subject to hyperinflation, which adds to the problem. Statistics show basic food costs just over 45 dollars per month per person, but the minimum monthly salary only equates to one-third of that cost or 15 dollars. (RELATED: Find more news about economic collapse at Collapse.news)
    The overwhelming majority of Venezuela’s population eats less than twice daily. Venezuela’s economic crisis descended into a depression last year when oil prices plummeted. Venezuela is home to one of the world’s biggest oil reserves, but now they are having difficulty importing the required $500 million monthly for food.
    Venezuela is showing major signs of poverty and the crisis is highly affecting its youth. The government refuses to release economic and public health data which would show just how bad things have become. The food shortage is widespread and compounded by a medical shortage, which has put the public-health system in a serious predicament. Venezuela is missing 85 percent of the necessary medications to treat conditions such as malaria and dengue.
    The first reported malnourishment death of 2017 in Venezuela claimed a seven-month-old girl. She had spots on her skin, indicating severe malnourishment and a lack of vitamins. One of her eyes reportedly became detached from her eye socket upon death.
    Citizens recently interrupted a broadcasted speech given by President Nicolas Maduro, chanting that they wanted food. The Venezuelan President responded, “Do not ask me for food.” Maduro proceeded to differ that responsibility to General Vladimir Padrino Lopez and told citizens to ask him instead.

    Friends,
        I have been knowing these facts for a few years already, and now is the time to pass them along !   Not that any Dims, Libs, will ever have enough I.Q. TO FIGURE IT OUT.... lol !   Well,  maybe a few might get it.    Half of the people in the USA watch true News like Fox News,  but the other half are watching the Simpsons and other  low I.Q. TRASH.   That's just the way it is in real life.   How many people in the world actually read the bible at all ?  Even most church goer's don't do that anymore, and most Catholics never did !   Sorry to be so graphic....  


    Just read,  Matthew 7 : 13, down below... and click on one of the Links that I provided for you, please.   Usually, most men and women will take the 'path of least resistance,'  because most of us are too dang lazy.   I had to beat own self out of that nasty habit, too.   And for that matter,  whom of us would really want to work for a living -- if we COULD leach off the Gov't/ Welfare system ??  But the Democratic Party in the USA has made it possible for the ghetto punks and Welfare Queens, also most Illegal Aliens, to do just that while the other 'Half' of America has to support their lazy asses ! !  Of course rat fink Obama took a page out of  Saul Alinsky's  book on how to collapse a country,  by over burdening a nation by flooding the Welfare rolls, etc.,  and that still might be our death sentence, if Pres. Trump can't pull off a miracle hat trick,  soon.   And,  BTW,  I will still bet that before America crumbles, we will also see that Obama was never a U.S. citizen to start with,  but it will all be too late by that time.  


    Please share.

    WHAT IS HIJRAH?
    We understand far too little about Muslims leaving their homes. What is Hijrah? Obama is well educated in the Muslim religion since he studied it while living in Indonesia. He does not want this email to be spread all over the US because he wants us to be totally ignorant of what is really going on with the ISIL movement. This makes all the turmoil now make sense. Sad, and doesn't bode well for us.
    What is a Hijrah? Hijrah is when large scale mass migrations become invasions. What is happening in parts of Europe right now, actually appears to be a hijrah as the Quran describes it. This is NOT going to end well. Because it appears the policies of the liberal socialist leaders in Europe and the US do not want to keep their lands from being overrun.
    Why? I couldn't figure out why other Arab countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, etc.) weren't taking in refugees, so I started digging. Hijrah is jihad by emigration. It means moving to a new land in order to bring Islam there and is considered in Islam to be a holy and revered action. "And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance, and whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah." Surah 4:100.
    So, if a Muslim dies in the process of immigrating to another country, that's essentially the same as being a suicide bomber, his reward is automatic. This explains the great eagerness to undertake such a perilous journey. Muhammad and his followers emigrated from Mecca to Yathrib/Medina in 622 CE. It was there that he became a military leader though still uneducated. This is where all the commands to commit violence against unbelievers originated. It's important to note that the Islamic calendar marks this as the beginning of Islam.
    This current massive hijrah was announced last January, although few Muslim countries paid the announcement much attention. A supporter (or member) of ISIS uploaded a document in Arabic that urged Muslims to get to Libya because of its proximity to southern Europe and for the important tactical value of its illegal immigration circuits to facilitate infiltration of European cities. Libya has a long coast and looks upon the southernmost countries of western European, which can be reached with ease by even a rudimentary boat.
    In February, transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy said ISIS was threatening to send 500,000 migrants as a "psychological weapon" against Europe. The Italian Minister for the Interior, Angelino Alfano, said at the time, "If the militias of the Caliphate advance faster than the decisions of the international community how can we put out the fire in Libya and stem the migration flows? We are at risk of an exodus without precedent.”
    Also in February, the Turkish intelligence service warned police that up to 3,000 trained jihadists were seeking to cross into Turkey from Syria and Iraq and then travel through Bulgaria and Hungary into western Europe and then into the rest of Europe. Sound familiar?
    In May, a Libyan government adviser warned that Islamic State operatives were being" smuggled to Europe in migrant boats."ISIS is profiting from the human trafficking trade, forcing boat owners to hand over their profits or be killed. Some ISIS operatives are already sheltered in safe houses in the south of the Europe.
    Groups of men, 17 to 25, from Palestine and Syria, cross into Bulgaria and from there move into the rest of the EU. A former Al Qaeda double agent told the BBC that he knew of two Egyptian brothers who reached Italy from Libya, accompanied by men who were deeply religious and fluent in Italian and French.
    Go watch the videos of those "refugees" again. How many of the "refugees" are 17-25 year old men and of military age? If that doesn't convince you, we already know terrorists are coming through with the waves of refugees: a week ago five men were arrested attempting to cross the Bulgarian-Macedonian border with Islamic State propaganda, specific Jihadists prayers, and decapitation videos on their phones. They had been posing as refugees.
    UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage warned: "I fear we face a direct threat to our civilization if we allow large numbers of people from that war torn region into Europe.
    Other Muslim countries are not "taking in" these "refugees" because this is a hijrah into Europe. This is no humanitarian crisis. It is an invasion. Its goal is to transform Europe: over tax its economies, tear down its wealthiest nations, re-draw the demographics and, of course, the culture. And our government wants to start letting them into our Country? Obama, having already announced over 100,000 are going to arrive in the USA in 2017. Are we all Forest Gumps? Is this worth sharing with others??? Feel free to copy and paste.
     
    FROM:  DONALD MAY
    That's why Obama wanted to get rid of are guns.  It seems the UN is even taken over by them.  Good that Trump has put a stop on them.  The liberals are blind.
     

    Big Cities may be in Trouble.

    Hallo Freunde,
    mit all der 'News', intelligente Leute sehen die Gefahr, dass sehr gut in unseren Städten kommen konnte auch in diesem Jahr von 2017, egal mit allen guten Absichten, weil das böse Männer und Frauen vom Bösen, gewalttätigen Organisationen könnten sehr gut schüren große Unruhen in den städtischen Gebieten, mit kommenden Mangel an Nahrung, und das Wohlergehen der Menschen, die arbeiten könnte - aber nicht zu arbeiten, und illegale Ausländer in unserem Land zu Beute schleichen, stehlen, und unser Reichtum/Vorteile saugen, illegal. Es ist die Wahrheit, auch wenn die Lügen 'Fake news" im TV sagen anders es tut uns leid…..
    Ich mag die Deutschen, und Deutschland, aber sie haben ihre eigenen Probleme und Herausforderungen zu lösen, auch. Beten Sie, dass Gott alle Christen jetzt in dieser entscheidenden Zeit zu stärken.

    Hi  Friends,
        I guess that... not only does the "cream always float to the top,"  but there is also a "Priority" in life, and some things must be said, read, and understood.   I know that some of my readers probably don't care to hear me share the Bible so much,  but it is the ONE, TRUE, SURE,  THING, in the world that is stable, real, unerring and proof positive in  a real Christian's life.   Christianity is not a 'religion,'  but a way of Life !   And if people and nations are willing to lay down/ sacrifice their lives for some idea, or mindset ---- so can Christians !   And they do EVERY DAY !   And what a huge sin committed by Obama and his ilk,  disallowing Christians sanctuary in our country -- while he purposely let Islamic terrorists come and in plunder our national treasures !    The Bible says, plainly,  that God sees all these terrible sins, and He will call to account all those to spill innocent blood,  especially His children and servants !   Be very much afraid -- all you Christ- haters !  The God of the KJV Bible will surely visit you all with Judgment !!  
            I am but a poor, old, simple, servant of the Most High God, and some call Him,  Jehovah,  Yahweh,  YHVH, Father God, etc.   His only begotten Son is Jesus Christ, or the Word, through which all things were created.   See:  John 1: 1.    And there is also the Holy Spirit, part of the triune God Head.  


    As we all know,  President Trump inherited  a huge mess,  a cesspool of  hateful, lawless, Left Wing, buns and also anarchists that want to pull down our country, culture, civilization and order/ structure, right now !   From my past blog posts,  I named people like George Soros, a filthy Billionaire, who continues to feed huge drops of money to most of the Leftists Orgs, Democrats and Liberal, punks, who march, protect everything good and noble, burn, trash, destroy, pillage and even murder our LEO's !   [LEO= Law Enforcement Officers-  Police, etc.]    So,  it is evident that our Police Force just cannot handle all the riots and lawlessness in our countries hot spots in the big, corrupt cities.   Therefore, our POTUS, Pres.  Trump is forced to tap our Military to keep order and civility in our country, now.   It's just a sad, sad, state of affairs,  and the Left Wing, Dims, and Socialists won't even give Trump a fair chance at helping America get back on her feet !  
          Ha!  Remember what Obama said, gleefully, boasting:   "Elections have consequences.   We  won."  
        Pres. Trump tried to be nice, cordial, respectful, kind,  but since the Left Wing dogs won't even give him a chance to get started,  He will now play a game of "Hard Ball !"   Hey!  "Elections have consequences.   We won !"  --Remember ?   What's good for the goose is good for the gander.  And when you mess with a Bull -- you will get the horn !  --As we used to say in the Army...   


    Well, a very kind lady came over yesterday to help me out a little bit, and also made a great beef stew in my Crock Pot, and so I will enjoy some more of it, today !   Praise the Lord.  


    Now, Friends,  the reason I posted  an article like this is to remind you all to "Prepare Now!"   You all know the drill.  Take positive action now,  today !
        Personally,  I am setting my sails for a slightly different heading starting today.   To trim my finances even more, and help some friends more so, and put our minds together to figure out better ways to survive, and thrive.   God is our partner, too, in this struggle, and final lap in our race.    I am going to be watching my spending even more, right now, and learn to live on less.  More water and baloney.... LOL !  Also sending a letter to my attorney to tweak my wishes and directives  if I die too soon, to help special friends, etc.  
          Watch out for the icy roads, please.


    Warm Regards,

    Shocking Video - Must See


    urban-warfare
    There will be war in the streets of America. Things have been engineered that way.
    The scenarios are many, the issues are complex. The current anger from the left, who are violently protesting against President Trump, is just one aspect of it.
    But the Pentagon and the U.S. national security structure is increasingly looking towards the shifting demographics around the globe – people have moved from rural areas, and shifted into cities. Where ever conflict stirs, there will be a need for military and SWAT response to the call. Entire cities will be locked down; door to door sweeps will often have violent ends.
    Baghdad could be brought home to the streets of America, and the military already knows it.
    The powers that be are deeply concerned about the unfolding situations with migrants, illegal immigrants, potential terrorists, political factions, violent protests, arson and riots.
    Increasingly, they are training for and expecting a homegrown conflict that will call for them to restore order in a major cities – and even hunt down suspects block to block, like in the Boston Marathon bombing incident, while making some significant infringement of our civil liberties.
    During the past several years, there have been reports about unannounced urban warfare drills in major U.S. cities, sometimes in coordination with major events; there have also been military training scenarios that have maintained a consistent theme of civil unrest, economic breakdown and widespread riots.
    As Intellihub reported:
    For years the alternative media has warned about the US military possibly being used against the American people in a time of economic collapse or any sort of martial law scenario.
    Drills such as Vigilant Guard 2010 have brought widespread attention to the fact that portions of our own military are training to take on crowds of American citizens demanding food and Constitutional rights in a time of crisis.
    Now, a new release by the website Public Intelligence, once again confirms that as recently as February and March of 2012, US troops at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington were conducting training scenarios for a civil disturbance domestic quick reaction force.
    A series of photos of the drills shows US troops with crowd control riot shields on the opposite side of actors portraying what can only be described as American citizens.
    What do the elite know that we don’t?
    Now, a major military scholar is calling for the creation of “megacities combat units” – a proposal that is a major and drastic departure from warfare of the past, which has been designed away from cities. Now, military and paramilitary units, as well as local law enforcement, much engage the population itself – with all the unpredictability afforded by a real life, complex situation filled with combatants, non-combatants and friendlies behind any and all doors, etc.
    With a heightened focus on terrorism and reigning in undocumented immigrants, there will be a tendency, if we are not careful, for a heightened militarized and police state atmosphere to arise – both at home, and in everyplace that they take the fight.
    Major John Spencer, a former Ranger Instructor and scholar at West Point’s Modern War Institute called for an armed unit ready for megacities deployment in an op-ed:
    Every year, more and more of the world’s population moves into cities. The number of megacities is growing exponentially. Both of these global patterns and their inevitable consequences for military operations are well documented. Yet we still do not have units that are even remotely prepared to operate in megacities. If we want to find success on the urban battlefields the US Army will inevitably find itself fighting on in the future, that needs to change.
    Throughout history, military forces either sought to avoid or simply had no need to engage in urban combat. Most military doctrine, and the strategic theory it is built upon, encourages land forces to bypass, lay siege to, or—if required—isolate and slowly clear cities from the outside in. The great armies of the world have historically fought for cities rather than in cities, a distinction with a significant difference. In cases where military forces had no choice but to operate within cities, the environment, almost without exception, proved very costly in both military and civilian casualties. Today, many armies have accepted that global population growth and urbanization trends will increasingly force military operations into crowded cities, and military forces must therefore be capable of conducting the full range of operations in large, dense urban areas.
    Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley recently remarked that the Army “has been designed, manned, trained and equipped for the last 241 years to operate primarily in rural areas.” But that is about to change. Milley continued:
    […]
    The conclusions of the SSG research are clear: megacities are unavoidable, they are potentially the most challenging environment the Army has ever faced, and the Army is unprepared to operate in them.
    […]
    One ongoing military study of megacities is the NATO Urbanization Project. […] In the project’s most recent experiment, the NATO team conducted a wargame to determine the capabilities needed to achieve the goals of three likely missions in 2035: response to mass migration, natural disaster, and inner-city turmoil. Within these missions, the wargame specified that a brigade conduct three operations in a megacity—joint forcible entry, major combat, and subsequent stability operations—without unacceptable levels of military or civilian casualties.
    […]
    Of course, urban warfare is not exclusively a future phenomenon. Much has been learned from urban battles in recent history: the Siege of Sarajevo (1992–95); the Battle of Mogadishu (1993); Russian operations in Grozny (1994–95 and 1999–2000); US operations in Baghdad (2003) and Fallujah (2004); Lebanese operations in Nahr al-Bared, Lebanon (2007); and the Second Battle of Donetsk (2014–15). But the broad lessons of these cases have yet to truly inform Army training for urban combat, which for most units consists mainly of tactical training (e.g., room clearing drills with four-man teams). The Army would be much better served by the creation of an entire unit dedicated to preparing to operate in dense urban environments, particularly megacities.
    Any way you slice it, the military and the national security infrastructure are watching for cracks in the system.
    People are at their wits end, and many are on the edge of poverty – and for many, it just won’t take much more to set them loose, and let riots erupt. Whether the system wants those to spread, or wants to suppress and contain them, they know they are coming.
    Population pressures, and clashing groups within growing city centers are creating more problems, and compounding old ones.
    If the economic stability of a given region were to give way, nearly every megacity would spiral out of control and descend into absolute madness – whether or this continent or any other.
    via Nicholas West:
     The following Pentagon video was featured by The Intercept and portrays the chilling atmosphere presented by sheer numbers and those who would enter such environments in the pursuit of order.
    Drills such as “Unified Quest” run yearly by the U.S. Army took a sharper turn in 2014 toward addressing the problem of combat in megacities – defined as cities with more than 10 million people, of which there already are nearly 25 and projected to total near 40 by the year 2025. The Pentagon’s own solicitation early last year called “Thunderstorm Spiral” was a request for “help from technological innovators to take on the future of warfare.” This appeared to indicate that in addition to boots on the ground, an additional pervasive centralized intelligence apparatus would be needed to properly plan for troop movements through such dense but vast environments that also would be made up of networks underground.

    Rather than trying to guess what specific crisis may spill over into violence, or bring things to a stand still in traffic or electronic commerce, just consider the piling pressure that is growing in the techno hubs and swelling urban population centers.
    New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and dozens of enormous cities around the world are all completely vulnerable. Depending upon the political situation, unrest, violence or whatever else could spread across the entire Eastern half of the U.S., and the entire country could face collapse as it has never before known it. It is only a question of timing and circumstance.
    Preppers should take all this into account. Modern life may make a connection to the city unavoidable prior to the collapse, but being insufficiently away from major urban centers is definitely a liability in times of crisis. Even outlying neighbors can be subject to looting, natural disaster, grid shutdown, riots, and many other situations. Make arrangements to shelter away from the city, and make sure you can get there safely and quickly when something goes down.
    Do not rely on the services or goods of these cities, and get out while you still can. There are some very major crises brewing right now. They are preparing; you should, too.
