Foreword in Chinese:

你好朋友在中國 :
我住在北部的大國 , 美國密歇根州 -- 美國 , 我們現在正在準備一次冷 , 下雪的冬天。 我已經在東南亞 , 早在 1968 年 , 美國陸軍 , 在越南的服務時 70 、 19 歲的 , 我很喜歡學習不同的文化在我前往德國、也不例外。 我已經很“幸運”並祝福 , 所學到的東西太多 , 還要有穩定的工作和支付大部分時間 , 和一家不錯的家庭。 我已經研究了英王欽定本聖經 , 是我一生最大的 , 是 " 節省 " 和去天堂 , 肯定的。 不是因爲什麼我所做的事———只不過 * 我選擇接受我主耶穌基督 , 因爲我個人的上帝 , 求主和救世主 ! 他替衆人死於人類在世界上所有的罪孽並支付了贖金價自亞當和夏娃 , 到目前爲止 ! 我們都有同樣的選擇現在 -- 但不是很長 , 因爲我們所知的“世界”將不復存在和美國的時間規則”將結束。
可能是我們下一次的貨幣可能是中國人民幣 ! 您可以擁有最大的黃金 , 我認爲這是一種智能移動、還銀。 但歸根結底 , 天父上帝和耶穌基督將接管───將統治地球的 1000 年。 我也知道數千個良好的中文也有同樣的希望 , 他們堅定的基督教信徒的慾望、意見在我們這樣做 , 在美國 , 現在我們有良好、公平、公正、總裁王 , 努力幫助我們。 但什麼曾經發生的情況 , 我們知道耶穌對我們的應許「 Rapture 」就在大戰爭 , 因此最真實的

Hello  Dear  Friends,
     I sure hope that you all love good, clean, jokes, humor, funny stories and positive feed back  ----   because I just love to laugh, also teach, joke around, entertain, and tell funny jokes, too ! !   Dear Lord,  at the end of the day we poor humans need SOME diversion and humor, too !    Yahweh, Father God,  is a HAPPY GOD, and He wants US to be happy too !   
       And the reason why He gave HIS OWN PEOPLE, the Israelites a set of Laws and Rules to live by,  with the "death penalty" for many of those "Laws"  --- was for their own safety, betterment, security, peace of mind, and HAPPINESS !   Without a fair, just, set of Rules/ Laws,  there would be Anarchy and non-stop Violence every day !    Yes,  I did pay attention to the high school teachers back in the early 1960's.....   but my learning and education didn't stop there.     Being "Self Educated" is good and well, too,  but it takes longer, and much more discipline to 'do it on your own.'    And you can and should learn much on the "InterNet," where there is a WEALTH of KNOWLEDGE....  but also a snake pit, and dangerous when you meet and follow the wrong, godless unbelievers, heathens and Islamic folks --- whose 'Father' is not our Father,  Yahweh ! ! !   JUST BEWARE AND VERY CAREFUL,  PLEASE.
      Look to the KJV Bible as a great Teacher and ask the Holy Spirit for help before you crack open that Grand Old Book -- the Word.   Psalm 37: 25:     "I have been young,  and now am old;  yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.   26.  He is merciful, and lendeth;  and his seed is blessed.   28.  For t he Lord loveth judgment,  and forsaketh not his saints;  they are preserved forever:   but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.   29.   The righteous shall inherit the land,  and dwell therein forever."
The above was written by King David of Israel.   And....  Psalm 38: 1, says:   O Lord,  rebuke me not in thy wrath:   neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure."     -----Ha!   I pray that prayer OFTEN !!   Because it seems like I have chocolate foot -- that is always in my mouth --- and getting myself in trouble so much of the time.   That has been my 'life's story,'  sad to say but true to tell.    Sorry.   I am far from perfect, so prayer and study is my life's work now, after I retired in 2002,  from Chrysler Motors, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  


As my father told me so many times when I was young,   'It's good to have dreams and goals,  but some of them are really hard to attain.    There is a lot more to 'being a Soldier, or a Sailor, than wearing that uniform....'    But you can tell A LOT about that Military man FROM looking at his uniform --- which tells you where the man has been, how long, and what his MOS ---Job Classification, is, etc.   And the Army, Navy, Marines just don't hand out,  "Fruit Salad," 'Hash Marks,  Medals, and Rank !  
      Well,  I had a surprise this morning, at the local, IM-- VAMC, today.  An RN pulled me into her 'shop' and examined my ears, telling me that I had a huge blockage in the Left Ear !!   A-Ha !   So I was NOT lying nor imagining that I had trouble hearing other folks Speak !!!    I am NOT trying to start another fight nor argument,  please.   So.... the RN, named, Jean, irrigated my Left ear about 7-8 times today, but it was still clogged up as I left her office.   She told me to ear drop some Olive Oil in the Left ear over night to loosen the clog up, and then see her again next week sometime.   I WAS trying to contact my PCP ---Primary Care Provider, my 'new' doctor --- after my elderly, good, wise, Christian,  DOCTOR finally retired, as he is now age 87, and went back to Florida, right before the Huge Storms/  Hurricanes hit Texas and Florida, and his cherished golf courses that he loved so much.    A smart surgeon/ physician we shall never find again, U.P. here .... and what a loss for the goofy VA system, that is still so crowded, corrupt, with not enough of the GOOD staff, doctors and RN's !!   At least President Trump is working on it --- PRAISE THE LORD !   

And while I am at it,  let me put in my 2 cents worth about our American Flag --vs:  Sporting events, plus our National Anthem.   Where ever people roam and travel to ---"When in Rome -- Do as the Romans Do !"   Every place and part of the world has their own respected customs and rituals, and you just DO NOT WANT TO INSULT OTHER PEOPLE IN ANY WAY,  or you could lose your LIFE !!    Yes,  before any Authority figure can step in the save you,  you just might not have enough time to get saved/ protected, from a crowd.   And,  "Old wounds run deep !"   If you want to stay healthy,  "Be Kind, Thoughtful, Respectful, and Nice !!"    A word to the wise should be ample and sufficient.   
       Case in point,  when ever you take an R and R to Bangkok,  Thailand, Japan, etc.,  quick study the rules and laws,  and the Officer in Charge will bring you up to speed before they turn you loose on the town, and you need to exercise extreme caution  to never insults that countries,  'gods, goddesses, holy things and/ or religion, etc.'   Or else you could pay for your crimes and sins, with an elephant stepping on your head, or getting your head chopped off with a sharp sword.    Now... you don't HAVE TO WORSHIP their gods,  but you should show proper respect for the people and beliefs..... or else.   So, the usual darker colored. over paid, 'athletes' who 'claim' to be American, who NEVER served in our Armed Forces ought to have the common sense not to 'take a knee' or sit down thru the National Anthem, is the wrong way to protest, 'what ever' their current grievance  is -- at the time.    They are paid to play --- and not to act like a little 3 year old, kid !   I, personally, think that they should get fired and return all their money.  OK ?    This is only my personal observation, friends and readers.   But then,  I am only an old, disabled Vietnam Veteran:  68-70.    For  much more than 40 hard, serious years of study with the KJV Bible, etc.,  I believe that:   "At the right time, Father God --Yahweh,  will take most of the Power away from the USA --  America,  and allow some other nation ----  or a number of nations, to step into our shoes and govern the entire world -- being directed by THEIR Father.... Satan the Devil, and his demons, etc.   I can prove what I say.   Can you ?    I just don't think that our American Dollar will be the "King of the Hill,"  for much longer.... sorry.    Anyway,   I am putting my money on the One, True, God of the KJV Bible.    If I am doing what HE wants ---- I will be Saved and end up in Heaven.   PTL.   
         And, Hey !   I don't want to see our once great country go down the tube, with another group of nations carving U.S.A. up for dinner, or making us a 'slave state,' or worse.   But as we study the 'March of Time' and the pure History of the Bible, we learn that God has always moved and removed various nations exactly where He wanted them,  and if we don't recognize that firm fact -- we are doomed to a world of woe !    Don't shoot me --- I am just the messenger.     Usually, major Powers/ Nations rise to the top and dominate for only about 200 years, and the USA is just about in those kind of 'end times,'  now.  
      It suits Father God--Yahweh, but He has promised to SAVE His promised, Beloved Saints and Followers of His only begotten Son,  Jesus Christ  that all Scriptures shall be fulfilled, and even the first prophetic Scripture, back in Genesis 3: 15 !   Come, let us reason, dear friends.     Once upon a time,  I was yet in YOUR shoes, and had to learn a lot more, and much faster, too.   Smile --- you can become,  "SAVED", too, but don't wait too long.     You know...  if I didn't care about you fine folks,  I would just stop my soap box talking about the Gospel of Jesus, and switch to other mundane subject matter.


And now,  here are some cool jokes for you all.

Foreword in Finnish: 


Hei ystävät Suomesta:
on olemassa tiettyjä asioita elämässä, jotka vaikuttavat ahkeria ihmisiä koko ihmiskunnalle, ja nyt me opimme, että saaren Puerto Rico on saanut kolhun, ja ilman puhdasta juomavettä tai sähköä ja ruokaa jonkin aikaa , siitä lähtien tehokas pyörremyrsky, Marie, pesi paljon pinta-alasta. Minulla on vain jerichoa, Vaistoni sanoo, että suuret onnettomuudet ovat Yhdysvalloissa.
Ja ihmiset asettaessani olevan huolestuneita fyysinen uhka sodan Pohjois-koreaan.
Mutta... juuri loppuvat bensiiniä/ polttoaineen suuressa kaupungissa, kuten Chicagoon tai St. Louisin kokoonpanotehtaalla, MO. Ja olet ottanut mahdollisuutesi ja henkensä ja nykypäivän USA, tai Euroopassa.

Hello  Friends and avid Readers:
       If any of you wonder why I post stories /  FACTS about different "Cults" and misleading 'pastors'.... also people who are robbers and takers, is because I was once trapped in a 'religious cult,'  soon after I got home from my two tours of duty in RVN -- Vietnam:  68-70, but somehow managed to 'exit' some 22 years later.     Sorry to say that my family and I suffered a lot,  but I did manage to get most of my family OUT of that 'Church of the Poisoned Mind,'  as soon as I got "Saved" ---bending knee to Jesus Christ, right about May in 1995.   It was a sad, long, story, about a mixed up guy --- me still dealing with Combat PTSD, and falling prey to a group of well trained, also messed up people in a huge, organization the JW-cult, that preys on honest, but troubled people, who are looking for something in their lives.    Many  "netted fish" help to fill the Watch Tower's  Kingdom Hall's  ['Wisdom Holes'] every week and commander's most of their week, and fills their heads with false religious teaching.   
        If I have ever 'damaged' any outsiders in my life under that cult,  I hope that I have somehow made amends and corrected things,  but at least got my own family out of it.    At least I know the real Truth now,  of the KJV BIBLE, and try to share it where ever I go !   Please see and visit:   Bible Tracts Inc.   And:   biblefortoday.org  

Rule Number One:    Never set or declare a DATE ! !


Psalm 38: 1,    "O Lord,  rebuke me not in thy wrath:   neither chasten  me in thy hot displeasure."

Free Bible prophecy documentary book download proving our generation will see the return of the Lord. Do you want to know what is going to happen in the future before it actually takes place? The Word of God provides you with specific details about our future and all of these things are coming to pass in this generation. If you aren’t saved yet this is a must read!
Download The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth September 20 2017 Edition written by Frank DiMora
Does anyone remember how many dates for the end of the world the Jehovah's witnesses gave?  The Carm site link below shows 11 dates but there are many more than what is shown at the Carm site. Any one who read the JW teaching and watched those dates come and go with nothing happening knows what the Leaders of the WatchTower did when their teaching failed.  The Leaders came back and changed the dates to a new date and made excuses why the previous date failed.
What did the JW members do when the dates failed?  They went along with the new date and then the new date failed. Then again the Leaders of the WatchTower set yet another date but, every one of those dates failed as well. Why did those dates fail?  Because the leaders of the WatchTower were false teachers as predicted by Christ when He told us false prophets and false teachers who come in the last days.

Image result for jw false prophecies False Prophecy Date by JW organization. 

Why am I telling you about the WatchTower failures?  Because like the excuses made by the JW organization Scott Clarke has done the same thing with his teaching that the Revelation 12 sign  which comes Sept. 23, 2017 is the sign the Church would be born because as Scott teaches, the Church was not born on Pentecost.  For over a year Scott has placed many videos on his YouTube channel pointing the this Rev. 12 sign.  Now that the 23rd of September has come and gone and the Church was not raptured away like the JW's Scott has changed things up. Now he says the 24th is a better day for the fulfillment of his teaching. What the failed 23rd date shows is that the Church was in fact really born on Pentecost as seen in the Bible and not on the coming Rev. 12 sign as Scott would have you believe.  Watch the video below and see how Scott tries to wiggled out of the fail date he stressed  for so long  for people to watch.  Before the September 23rd date came I wrote Scott and told him the 23rd would come and go without the fulfillment of what He taught. Now that he has move the date to the Sept. 24th date I will tell Scott the same thing! September 24, 2017 will be just as bad for you as the 23rd in that what you teach will fail!

Of course Scott wasn't the only one who gave false teaching for the 23rd sign. David Meade was also one of the main people pressing this date.  Just like Scott is now doing changing his false date David Meade is also changing his date. It's a remake if you will of what the JW's did so many times.
 

FALSE PROPHET DAVID MEADE NOW SAYS WORLD NOT ENDING, MAKES NEW FALSE PROPHECY ABOUT EVENTS IN OCTOBER

 
The bottom line is this. Christ warned us about the false prophets and false teachers that would come in the last days.

Is it any wonder ? Soros.

Hundreds of Thousands Take to the Streets of Ukraine to Celebrate the Protestant Reformation and Praise Jesus

**********************************************************************


As George Soros approaches his 90th birthday, he is hoping that his children will carry on the family business.
Citizen journalists from the /pol/ News Network are connecting the dots between Antifa riots in Berkeley, California and billionaire George Soros. “Ever wonder why Antifa riots seem to be centered at Berkeley? This is why.” /pol/ News wrote on Twitter. Attached was a picture and biography of George Soros’s son Alexander, who is a Ph.D. candidate a

Alexander Soros, 31, is the eldest son of George Soros’s second marriage. According to a profile in the New York Times, a younger Alexander had a reputation among the New York elite as a party boy. A 22-year-old Alexander explained in a Facebook post that most of his time was spent “chilling at dad’s house in Southampton, drinking 40s while cruising on the family boat, and making out with the babes.”
However, around the time the 2012 presidential election was starting to heat up, Alexander Soros starting taking a more active role in politics. Alexander Soros explained that his party boy image was an embarrassment to the family. He started following in his father’s footsteps by offering generous sums of money to liberal causes.
In 2012, Alexander Soros started to throw his financial weight around in support of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Alexander donated $200,000 to a Jewish Super-PAC in Florida that was attempting to convince elderly citizens to support incumbent candidate Obama. Alexander is a supporter and contributor to Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice, and he is a board member of his father’s infamous organization The Open Society. He also manages his own Alex Soros Foundation.
Alexander’s true political debut was launched as the 2016 presidential was ramping up. Instead of merely contributing to liberal causes, Alexander Soros was actively meeting and schmoozing with the upper echelons of the Democrat Party.

In June 2016, Alexander Soros shared a picture on Instagram featuring him and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) bonding over daytime drinks at the height of the 2016 election. A week later, Alexander Soros shared a picture on Instagram with him sitting next to then-President Barack Obama. “What an incredible honor it was to host and meet with President @barackobama at my NYC home last week. He continues to truly bring out the best in the United States of America!” Soros wrote in the caption.

Having the president of the United States drop in for a visit at your New York City apartment in the middle of one of the most tightly contested elections is a luxury few could afford, but the Soroses have spent an absurd amount of money supporting Democrat candidates.
According to The Daily Caller, George Soros spent over $25 million supporting failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and other Democrat candidates and liberal causes. Alexander also contributed over $4.5 million in support of Hillary Clinton and Democrat Super PACs.
Alex Soros has also been seen hobnobbing it on Instagram with liberal heavyweights like George Clooney, Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN), Hillary Clinton, Senator Al Franken (D-MN), and Senator Elizabeth Warren.


All of this displays the influential connection the Soros family continues to have with liberal and sometimes destructive causes.

Hi  Friends.
   The days for me are 'merging -- one into another --- and going so fast lately,'    Maybe when a man is finally with a good person, things can be nice,  like.... the way they SHOULD BE !   Yet, deep inside, there is a deep pain left from loosing in death, 2--special people that I lost about 8 years back, and I am so afraid of loosing another loved one.   Yes,  I am afraid that I worry too much --- that I cannot control the lives and loves that I want to protect.  
       But God --  Yahweh's promises always come true,  and we can count on them.   His words are made of iron and steel, reinforced.     I studied  Metals in Welding class in college, too.   But the KJV Bible tells us more accurately when our early forefathers who had NAMES,  started developing Metals in Ancient times.    You cannot be a farmer or a shoe maker without  the use of some special tools.      


September 22nd, 2017
Terrorists struck again in England last week.

It's fortunate that these would-be bombers weren't such great bomb makers. The crude bucket bomb was placed on a commuter train, but failed to fully detonate.

The explosive flash injured 29 people, but a proper detonation could have killed dozens. ISIS claimed credit.

The government raised the national threat level to "Critical." London's streets were flooded with police, fully armed, not just carrying their usual nightsticks.

The forced Islamization of Britain has been going on for years. But the real consequences are just beginning to be realized.

Five years ago, 12 Pakistanis living in Manchester, England, were convicted of sex trafficking and raping 47 young British girls. All of the girls were white. Some say that's why full justice in the case was delayed so long. Political correctness.

But that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Last month, a police operation in Newcastle exposed the sexual exploitation of 700 young British women. Like the Manchester case, it turns out that almost all of the perpetrators are British-born Muslims from the Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, Iraqi, Iranian, and Turkish communities.

Some say it's "racist" to identify the religion of the accused. But this isn't about "race," it's about "beliefs" and the consequences of those beliefs.

Britain now has a massive problem with "child grooming gangs." "Child grooming" is the process by which an adult wins a child's confidence and slowly turns that young person -- usually a girl -- into a sex slave.

Britain today is rife with stories of young girls who have disappeared. Some of them never surface again.

Some have gotten away from their captors. They tell stories about how they were used as prostitutes for Muslim men.

One told about being abducted at 15. Her abductor regularly raped her and he prostituted her to other men. She had four babies during those years. He sold each of them.

Some experts estimate that many thousands of young British girls have fallen victim to these rings. In the city Rotherham, a formal inquiry found that between 1997 and 2013, more than 1,400 young girls were abused and trafficked.

And it's happening across Europe, too.

But the information is suppressed by politically correct governments and the media. Primarily because almost all of the perpetrators are Muslims.

It may be true that the majority of Muslims, especially in the West, do not engage in such practices, but it is consistent with the life and teachings of Mohammed. Beginning with Mohammed, Islam has a historical undercurrent of vile, demonic sexual deviance, including pederasty and slavery.

Folks, this is an example of the dangers of political correctness -- with a decision not to speak the truth. Thousands upon thousands of British lives are destroyed by the silence.

A greater question now looms: Will we even recognize Britain -- or Europe -- in another five years?

Here in America, last week the U.S. State Department issued an announcement. It said that the Trump administration strongly supports the Taylor Force Act.

The Taylor Force Act is legislation now working its way through Congress. It is named after a young West Point graduate who served in Afghanistan and Iraq. While visiting Israel with a group of American students, Taylor Force was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist.

The terrorist also stabbed ten other persons that night in Tel Aviv before he was shot and killed by Israeli police.

Because he died while committing an act of terrorism against infidels, the terrorist was named a "Heroic Martyr" by the Palestinian Authority. His crime was rewarded with a monthly stipend for his family from the PA's "Martyr's Fund."

The PA sets aside $350 million each year for its "Martyr's Fund." Much of that comes from U.S. taxpayers.

The Taylor Force Act will end U.S. economic aid to the Palestinian Authority until it stops rewarding and encouraging terrorism.

While I strongly agree with the moral intentions behind the Taylor Force Act, I am apprehensive that it can actually accomplish its purpose. I'm also aware of the potential risks.

It is difficult for me to imagine PA President Mahmoud Abbas actually stopping the funding of terrorists in Israel. As an early leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), a recognized terrorist group, terrorism has been his stock-in-trade for many decades.

Also, he is hanging on to power in the West Bank by the skin of his teeth. His term of office ran out in 2009, but he has held on to power by constantly postponing Palestinian general elections for one reason or another.

His support of terrorism is extremely popular among the Palestinian population. If he were to appear to be bowing to America in that regard, it might doom his leadership. Hamas, another recognized terrorist organization which gets major funding from Iran, would almost certainly step in with payments to those terrorist families. That would make Hamas even more powerful outside of Gaza.

The loss of those funds might actually cause the rise of a much greater evil -- Hamas.

See what a tangled web of booby-traps this issue is? Many of the Israeli-Palestinian issues, in fact. Folks, this is why we need to pray constantly for our leaders and the leaders of Israel. Only God's wisdom can help them successfully navigate the deadly minefield we call "The Middle East!"

In Luke 21:25-26, Jesus prophesied that in the last days there would be signs in the heavens, the seas and the waves would roar, and there would be distress among the nations. He even said that men's hearts would fail from the fear of what was to come.

That prophecy will be fulfilled near the end of the Great Tribulation. We know that because in the next verse He notes that, "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." (Luke 21:27 NKJV)

Though complete fulfillment will come later, this prophecy still relates directly to us today. When Jesus summed it all up, He spoke to the people of our times: "When these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." (Luke 21:28 NKJV)

Our redemption is the Rapture of all true believers. Jesus said that when these things BEGIN to happen, we should "look up... because our redemption draws near."

Well, folks, these things have certainly begun to happen. Five hurricanes in the last month, a "thousand-year flood," two major earthquakes in Mexico in the last two weeks, the nations of the world in deep distress over North Korea's increasing insanity, terrorism almost a daily occurrence in Europe, weekly rioting and growing hostility in America, an exploding opioid and drug addiction crisis worldwide, and the list goes on. And even with daily positive economic news, people sense that we are never more than one step or one crisis away from a global economic meltdown.

It's time to "look up!"

Finally, did you ever know someone who was so good that it made you feel bad in comparison?

Most of us have had someone in our lives who was so pure and exemplary that we felt a bit uncomfortable in his or her presence. And that discomfort only grows if they know us well.

In other words, if the pure person knows some of our impurities, we feel even more miserable just being around them. And it's even worse if our bad behavior somehow causes pain to that exemplary person.

But to make things worse, what if they continue to look on us with love and compassion? It's misery to be around a person like that. Their very presence causes us guilt and pain. We almost always manage to put up some kind of barrier between us and them.

To a much greater degree, that's the problem between God and man.

From the day in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Even disobeyed God's direction and ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil -- and discovered they were naked -- humanity has felt naked and ashamed in God's presence.

And well we should! We are sinners and God is holy. God is flawless and we are full of flaws.

But He keeps on loving us.

And in His unfathomable love, He provided a way for us to be received into His pure presence as if we were as perfect as He is. That's why Jesus said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26 NASB)

That way is God the Son -- Jesus Christ.

He took our gross imperfections upon His perfect self, died in our place, and paid the penalty for each one of our sins, "...that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB)

If you are "in Him," you have "become the righteousness of God...." You are perfect in Christ. Therefore, you are acceptable to a pure and holy God! He gives you all of the privileges of Christ's perfect righteousness. You can stand before God in confidence.

That is why I call it "The Greatest Miracle!"

Also pray for God's mercy and comfort for the terrified and helpless millions who are suffering because of this week's earthquake in Mexico City.

Remember, though we may be able to help with physical relief and aid, only God can bring peace, hope, healing, and restoration to those in such distress.

Dateline, Prague, the Czech Republic, 2017: The Visegrad Group, also called the Visegrad Four, is the last hope for Europe’s longterm survival. They banded together against the Left of the EU, and are in alliance with Israel, naturally. This staunch group of East European nations that survived the ravages of war in the 20th century surely knows best about the harmful and failed policies of the Left with which the Soviet Communism was imposed on them during the Cold War. These nations lost the creme of the crop of their intelligentsia along with their entire genuine cultural and economic elites to the nihilism of the leftist social policies which were aligned with the Soviet military-political imperialism – just as today the leftist policies of the English-speaking world are aligned with the Pentagon’s imperialism of the Military-Industrial Complex regarding which the outgoing President Eisenhower warned the public. This unholy alliance between the conservative military and the radical Left is odd and shameful – and does not benefit the taxpayer. For instance, Iraq’s army and government were destroyed by the US military and the prostrate country handed over to the failed nation-building organized by a liberal brain. The consequence? America’s enemy Iran stood to gain and take over because the American victory in 2003 had no conservative brain with which to attempt a post-war, post-Saddam reconstruction of Iraq. Moreover, the removal of the secular Baathist movement in Iraq (along with its managerial bureaucracy) ensured an open door to Islam’s vile activists, such as the ISIS and the al-Qaeda operatives. The suppressed Iraqi Shi’ites, too, saw their opportunity and aligned themselves with Iran.
Likewise, the countries of Eastern Europe were ravaged by the Nazi and Soviet military, each of which enabled its particular brand of an agenda of the Left (the domestic political fuel behind the war) to impose a rigorous and ruthless regime of social re-engineering upon the defenceless nations of eastern Europe. Why should these world history-aware nations allow for this to happen to them again, even if the method of imposition isn’t as primitive as it used to be? To be sure, the EU is putting pressure through various forms of bureaucratic blackmail.
To show that even the working principle behind the Nazi-Soviet eradication of the culture of Eastern Europe, along with its richly intellectual Jewry of yore, isn’t foreign to the apparatus of modern European Union organization – let us recall that in 1999, Serbia was treated with an imposed violence to force her to open up to the policies of the Left waiting in the wings behind the arms of NATO (allegedly in the name of the human rights of the Albanian-Muslim population in the south). Just like the Jews of East Europe, the non-Albanian minorities within Kosovo were thrown to the winds to secure an agenda. NATO defended the claims to the human rights of armed Albanian terrorists in 1999 who freely operated in Kosovo, Serbia, ambushing, killing and maiming whomever they pleased (because they were exempt from criticism since the Left-owned Media in the West granted them a free pass for the sake of an ulterior political motive). In Syria, the same approach has been applied by NATO and the Washington war lobby, although there it failed (the only instance in which this has ever happened). So, the military-political cookbook with which the policies of the Left in the West are imposed on foreign countries has not changed. The European Union used the battering arm of the NATO military organization to impose on Serbia the destruction that opened the doors to the social re-engineering policies of the Left to be applied on the prostrated and wounded country whose most sacred Medieval ground was just thrown into the lap of the barbarians at Europe’s door.

The problem in Europe is that native men are dying of something instead of for something. The enemy however is full of men who would die for something at the drop of a hat. This imbalance is bound to produce disastrous long-term consequences. As the ancient Roman satyrist and observer of life noted:
“A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.”
Thank God for East Europe and for politicians like Milos Zeman!

Zeman: Muslim refugees are Trojan Horses, the Czech Republic will not receive them

Czech President Miloš Zeman said today that they should not be playing Muslims in the Czech Republic just like Troy did not have to release a Trojan horse and that the Czech Republic should pay the fine, because it would not take refugees but would receive them.
“We should not let the Muslims go through our doors the same way that the inhabitants of Troy should not be allowed into their city of a wooden horse, if that were to happen, they would get enclosed enclaves here, rather than pay refugees,” said Zeman in meeting with residents of Hlucin in the east of the Czech Republic.
The Czech president is insisting on Europe on the mechanism of relocation and that the countries of the Visegrad Four, which categorically refuse to receive Muslim refugees from camps in Italy and Greece, compared with the loss of sovereignty of Czechoslovakia at the time when it was in the Warsaw Pact and the communist satellite of the Soviet Union.
“The sovereign state is characterized by what citizens receive, foreign citizens receive, into their territory, the state that has been deprived of the right to decide about it, loses its sovereignty, we have already been in such a position, why should we be again in it, that is why I am a categorical opponent of migration quotas. in Europe, not only in our country, they can destroy the structure of our continent, “Zeman said.
