Planned Destruction

Has the global recession been purposely orchestrated?

Why is Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump so loathed by America's leftist political establishment and its attendant media class? Could it be that he knows something that they don't want ordinary people to know?

Such as? Such as America's economy that's teetering on the brink of collapse with its staggering debt load. Though that's hardly a secret, most folks simply don't care about the debt because they've been told that it's no big deal.

However, it is. And at some point, it's going to wreck the U.S. economy and hurt millions of people. But how? By making the U.S. dollar about as worthless as the Mexican Peso or the Zimbabwean dollar. 

When could that happen? When the U.S. dollar is no longer the preferred currency of the nations. While that could take several years, it's coming because the U.S. is absolutely reviled in the eastern world where emerging giants such as China and Russia would love to dump their U.S. dollars and switch to an alternative currency such as the Chinese yuan. 

America's monstrous debt load strains the dollar and threatens its value. The U.S pays a staggering amount of interest on that debt. The interest alone is greater than the combined GNP of many nations. 

But why would an alleged cabal of financial elites, globalists and politicians want to sink the U.S. economy? Because that would level the financial playing field of the nations and likely result in a global economic depression. And that would encourage the introduction of a new global financial system that would be touted as the ultimate safeguard against economic disasters and the resulting poverty created by those disasters.

Donald Trump may be a lot of things. He may not be fit to be president of the United States. But he does know economics. And he's sounding the alarm. From Newsmax.com:  

According to Trump, the United States is no longer a rich country. "When you’re not rich, you have to go out and borrow money. We’re borrowing from the Chinese and others. We’re up to $16 trillion in debt...We are going up to $16 trillion [in debt] very soon, and it’s going to be a lot higher than that before he (Obama) gets finished. When you have [debt] in the $21-$22 trillion, you are talking about a downgrade no matter how you cut it."

Trump also believes that the U.S. unemployment rate is closer to 15-16 percent rather than the five percent rate currently published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Why the discrepancy? Because the Bureau of Labor only counts people who are drawing unemployment benefits, not those who've stopped receiving benefits.

If Trump's figures are accurate--and some folks believe that those figures may be a bit modest--then the U.S. hasn't experienced such economic misery since the Great Depression. And the very fact that Trump has pledged to rid the U.S. of its economic debt if he's elected to the presidency is a likely reason why he's got a target on his back.

Recently, Wikileaks, the information organization that publishes sensitive material on the web, leaked a report indicating that the ongoing economic crisis in Europe was planned.   That coincides with the sputtering U.S. economy that still hasn't recovered from the housing market meltdown that occurred in 2007. The U.S. economy should've recovered by now. But it hasn't. And neither has Europe's. Clearly, something's going on and it's not good.

Is the fix in? Is the U.S. headed for an economic collapse not seen since the Great Depression years of the 1930s? Could Barack Obama, who's a political puppet with limited skills and no knowledge of economic markets be part of that fix?

Considering that he's a proponent of the infamous Cloward-Piven economic strategy that aims to destroy a nation's economy by overwhelming its welfare system with multitudes of unskilled and uneducated third world immigrants, that seems very plausible. Remember that the same thing is happening in Europe where multitudes of "refugees" are pouring into the continent from Syria, Iraq and Africa.

In the late 1st century A.D., the apostle John received a vision from God concerning a future world government that will possess absolute, tyrannical authority over the entire planet.

According to the vision, that global government will be ruled by the dreaded Antichrist who will institute a new economic system that will be fully electronic. However, it will come with a catch: "He (Antichrist) also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name." (Revelation 13:16-17)

That's where the world is headed. Economic recessions are planned to bankrupt wealthy nations and transition the world toward a new, global cashless economic system. Eventually, that economy will be under the control of the Antichrist. 

And no one will be allowed to participate in that economy unless they receive the electronic mark that will contain the Antichrist's number. In order to obtain that mark, every person will have to worship this diabolical man as God. Those who refuse will be marked for death. 

When will all this happen? It may take several years. But it's going to happen. And we're already on the way. 

Hillary, Donald and the World

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

Barring an indictment or an unforeseen circumstance such as a catastrophic illness, Hillary Clinton will become the 45th president of the United States in November.

I hope I'm wrong. I don't like Hillary Clinton. And I never did. She was a terrible secretary of state, and she'll make an even worse president. Maybe not as bad as Barack Obama who may arguably go down as the worst president in the history of the United States. But Hillary will be bad for America.

However, she'll be good for the world and for her wealthy benefactors that include the big Wall Street money men who hate accountability, and powerful globalists who are seeking a world government. Those folks want Hillary Clinton in the White House. And they aim to accomplish that. 

How will Clinton be good for the world? She'll continue to steer America down a path toward economic destitution and military impotence, and she'll try to push the U.S. away from constitutional law and into international law. Certainly, Barack Obama made those issues a key part of his agenda. That was part of his "fundamental transformation of America." 

But don't blame Obama because he's a political puppet who only did what he was chosen (not elected) to do. And before that, George W. Bush was doing the same thing. 

Remember LOST? That's an acronym for Law of the Sea Treaty that proposed limiting America's sovereignty over her coastal waters to 12 nautical miles. The United Nations would gain control of the waters beyond that limit. That was the treaty that Bush wanted the U.S. to sign that would've hurt America's economy. How? By forcing the U.S. to obtain permits and pay heavy taxes to the UN for fishing and offshore drilling. Thankfully, the Senate rejected that terrible proposal.

If Hillary Clinton wins the upcoming presidential election, expect more of the same that's been going on in America for the past 30 years. That will include more unfettered illegal immigration, more "free trade" agreements that will make it even easier for U.S. manufacturers to relocate to Mexico and Asia, more crime and violence in America's streets, more poverty, and more persecution of conservatives and Christians.

That sounds insane. Why would anyone with a functional brain want to live in a nation like that? Why? Because poverty and chaos lead to anarchy that eventually leads to totalitarian regimes that wield absolute power over their citizens. That's where the elites want the U.S. to go, and that's where Hillary Clinton will continue to take America if she's elected.

And that's why the elites in both of America's corrupt political parties hate Donald Trump and are desperately trying to stop him from winning the Republican Party's nomination for president. Trump's not a globalist. He's a nationalist. He's extremely wealthy, and unlike Hillary Clinton, he can't be bought. 

And that's why the elites fear and loathe Trump. The Republican Party elites claim that Trump is unelectable. That's why they say they need someone else. But in reality, they fear that Trump may indeed win the election if he wins his party's nomination. And that terrifies them. That's why they're trying to stop him. Because they want Hillary in the White House. And to ensure that, they need to nominate another loser just like John McCain or Mitt Romney who has absolutely no chance of winning. Think Paul Ryan or John Kasich.  

America no longer has two political parties. It hasn't for many years. America has one political party with two heads. Both heads pretend to oppose each other. Both heads pretend to have different worldviews. But that's a mirage. Both heads belong to the same monster that has one distinctive goal. And that goal is to transform the United States from the wealthiest, most powerful nation into just another member of the world's 196 nations. 

If we can learn anything from this year's election process, it's this: the game is rigged and it has been for a long time. For all of his character flaws, Donald Trump has managed to expose the seedy, corrupt side of American politics where the big money people pull the levers and control the action. They also live in the shadows and prefer to remain there. 

They control the media that churns out the propaganda for and against candidates, and they control the activist groups such as Black Lives Matter, La Raza and MoveOn.org that send their useful idiots out into the streets to create disturbances and silence the voices of the opposition through intimidation and violence. 

Am I endorsing Donald Trump? No. I'm not endorsing anyone. I'll vote in November because that's my constitutional right. But my hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ who is the eternal king who has all the power and authority to raise up and depose political leaders.

Then why would He allow such people as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to gain power? Because wicked people choose wicked leaders after their own hearts. And America has become an exceedingly cruel and wicked nation that glorifies death (abortion) and sexual immorality, and celebrates perversion. As such, America's leaders are a direct reflection of the people who elected them. They're vile and evil.

If Americans truly want to see their nation rescued from the forces of spiritual darkness, then they need to heed the words of the Lord: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Nothing else will do.

Trump and Hitler

Is this America's future?

Do you want to know what the definition of a moron is? It's someone who compares Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.

It's become fashionable these days for folks to equate anyone they dislike with Nazi Germany's mass murdering dictator who instigated World War II that resulted in the deaths of over 60 million people. Those 60 million included six million Jews and four million others who perished in the fuhrer's death camps.

Donald Trump may be a polarizing figure to many, especially to those on the secular left who despise wealthy people, and to those on the extreme right who are looking for another Ronald Reagan to save America from the secular left. But he's not Adolf Hitler.

Hitler wasn't some con artist who fooled the German people by pretending to be someone he wasn't while he campaigned for the Reichstag in the early 1930s. He was a radical leftist and an atheist who feigned Christianity for political purposes in order to win the support of Germany's predominantly Lutheran and Roman Catholic population. 

If the fuhrer faked his Christianity, then it sounds like I just contradicted myself. Indeed, I stated that Hitler didn't pretend to be someone he wasn't. And he didn't. All you have to do is read his infamous autobiography, Mein Kampf to discover who Hitler really was. He didn't hide anything about himself, nor his contempt for the Jews who he considered vermin. 

Mein Kampf was published in 1925, eight years before Hitler became the chancellor of Germany. The German people had eight years to find out all they needed to know about him and his dangerous worldview. But they chose not to, and the rest as they say, is history.

Donald Trump has authored 16 books. They're largely about becoming successful and acquiring wealth. None of them foment anti-Semitism or call for the systematic annihilation of undesirable races. And none of them call for elderly, infirm, handicapped or mentally deficient people to be euthanized in order to conserve natural resources. Remember what Hitler called those folks? He called them "useless eaters."  

Why do people compare Trump to Hitler? Because their ideas are bankrupt and they can't win honest debates in the public forum. And they know that. Thus, they resort to fascist techniques such as character assassination and violent demonstrations that prevent their opponents from speaking at private and public events.

That happened in Chicago recently (March 11) when the usual assortment of riffraff (Marxists, union goons, communists, street gang thugs, Black Panthers, college punks wearing keffiyehs and waving Palestinian flags, La Raza clowns etc.) showed up to force the shut down of a scheduled Trump speech at the UIC Pavilion. 

The protest was as phony as a $3 bill. And if you watched it, you saw it before in venues such as Ferguson, Mo. and Baltimore. If you looked at the "protesters", you may have recognized some of the same faces that were on the streets of Ferguson and Baltimore. The Chicago protest largely consisted of professional agitators who were bused and flown into the city by radical leftist groups such as Moveon.org to stir up trouble.

One of those cretins was a La Raza agitator named Alicia Valeanzela who offered this brilliant pearl of wisdom: He's (Trump) a f***ing bigot. He's an a**hole. If Valeanzela represents the future of America, then America's destined to become a third world outhouse. 

The growing extremism and violence that's being embraced by younger people underscores an ancient prophecy concerning the end times recorded by the apostle Paul who said this: 

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

If you don't like Donald Trump, then don't vote for him. If you don't like his ideas, then don't listen to him or go to his rallies. But this is America. And we have something called the First Amendment that guarantees the right of free speech.

And that means that everyone has the right to voice their opinions whether you like them or not. If you don't like them, then you can either ignore them or move to a country that regulates speech. Try that and see how you like it.

Is the Pope a Christian?

Donald Trump (left) and Pope Francis

Many folks consider it sacrilege to question whether Pope Francis, the spiritual leader of the world's largest church, is an authentic Christian.

Why even ask that question? Because the pope recently questioned Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's faith. Why? Because if Trump's elected, he's promised to build a fence on America's southern border that would keep illegal immigrants from Central America out of the U.S. That's angered the pope.

When he was asked whether American Catholics should vote for Trump, the pope said this: 

I am not going to get involved in that. I say only that this man is not a Christian if he has said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.

The Bible never defines a true Christian as someone who encourages and abets illegal immigration. Nor does the word of God deny salvation and eternal life to those who build fences to keep illegal immigrants out of their nations. And yet Pope Francis claims that Trump can't be a Christian because he wants to build a border fence.

Is Donald Trump a true Christian? He claims that he is. But only God knows whether he is or not. Certainly, the pope claims to be a Christian, as do millions of people across the world. But what makes a person a true Christian, as opposed to someone who merely follows a cultural form of Christianity that mandates rituals, baptisms and works as essential for salvation and eternal life?

Let the apostle Paul explain it: "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, 'Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.' For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:9-14)

In his epistle to the church in Ephesus, Paul emphasized that rituals and works play no part in gaining eternal life in Jesus Christ: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Neither Pope Francis, nor his church agree with Paul. Rather, they promote a gospel that mandates a lifetime of works and sacraments that begin with baptism and end in purgatory before a person can be admitted into heaven. That's not biblical. 

The Catholic Church condemns anyone who believes that faith alone in the crucified and resurrected Christ is all that's required for eternal life. And that's despite the fact that Christ Himself revealed that salvation comes by strictly by faith alone: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) 

What does the Catholic Church teach regarding salvation? It teaches this:

If any one saith, that man is truly absolved from his sins and justified, because that he assuredly believed himself absolved and justified; or, that no one is truly justified but he who believes himself justified; and that, by this faith alone, absolution and justification are effected; let him be anathema. (Council of Trent: Canon 14)

According to the Bible, Pope Francis isn't a true Christian. It doesn't matter what he calls himself, or what his followers call him, or what the numerous sellouts in the Protestant and Evangelical churches call him.

Unless he truly believes that salvation is a free gift from God that can only be received by faith rather than by works, then he isn't a true Christian. And neither are his followers.

If that seems radical, then consider that the scriptures were written long before the advent of the Catholic Church. And nowhere does the Bible reveal the Roman Catholic gospel. It's a false, man-made gospel that can't save anyone.

Concerning the veracity of the scriptures, the Bible says this: "Consult God’s instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn." (Isaiah 8:20) And that includes Pope Francis.

Caesars and Saviors

Donald Trump

Conservative Americans have been looking for the next Ronald Reagan since 1989 when the first Ronald Reagan finished his second term in the White House.

Reagan was a polarizing figure. To those on the right, he saved the United States from the disastrous policies of Jimmy Carter (1977-81) that led to rampant inflation, a stagnant economy and the loss of respect from America's enemies around the world.

To those on the left, Reagan was their worst nightmare. He promoted capitalism, a big military and a small government. And he promoted freedom and independence from an intrusive plutocracy. That's anathema to leftists who love opulent government, Marxist economics and confiscatory taxes.

Since Reagan left the Oval Office, the United States has moved steadily to the left. Actually, America was moving to the left before Reagan was elected, but the U.S. still possessed a significant conservative population that won Reagan two terms. 

However, America no longer possesses a significant conservative population. Many of those conservatives that elected Reagan in 1980--military veterans, Christians, Baby Boomers etc. are no longer around. The succeeding generations of Xers, Yers and Millennials were weaned on multicultural Marxist claptrap that taught them capitalism is a terrible thing and socialism is a good thing.

They've been taught that conservatives are greedy capitalists and anti-science cretins who want to oppress minorities, shove the Bible down their throats and turn America into a Christian theocracy. And they've been taught that the Republican Party is the party of conservatives who oppress women and are bigots, racists, xenophobes, Islamophobes, homophobes etc. 

For those who remain skeptical of that, consider how and why Barack Obama was reelected in 2012 to a second term in the White House. In 1980, Barack Obama would never have been reelected. But in 2012 he was because he spoke the language of three generations of people who were brainwashed into embracing his worldview and form of government.

And so, the conservative movement wants to find the next Ronald Reagan who'll stem the tide of leftism that's turning America into a third world outhouse and a secular wasteland. They believe that such a man will restore America's conservative principles and return the U.S. to a "Christian nation" once again.

That's why America's once formidable conservative movement loathes Donald Trump, the current Republican front-runner for his party's presidential nomination. He's not the man to restore conservative values in America. Bill Kristol wrote this for the National Review: In sum: Isn’t Trumpism a two-bit Caesarism of a kind that American conservatives have always disdained? Isn’t the task of conservatives today to stand athwart Trumpism, yelling Stop?

Sorry. It was Jesus Christ who said this: "Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s." (Mark 12:17) And the apostle Paul wrote this: "No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules." (2 Timothy 2:4-5)

If conservatives want to restore Judeo-Christian values in America, then they'll need to do it through the power of Jesus Christ rather than through the ballot box. It's not a political leader's responsibility to enforce conservative values. They're responsible for upholding the Constitution and protecting America from her enemies. 

Conservatives and Christians have to make Christianity relevant to the world once again. That's done by contending for the faith (Jude 1:3) and not by politics. If they can make Judeo-Christian values relevant to the world, they won't have to worry about finding the next Ronald Reagan. Because everyone will fear God and uphold his commandments and laws.

Kook, Racist or Sage?

Donald Trump

Donald Trump isn't going to be nominated as the GOP's candidate for president. Donald Trump isn't going to be elected as America's next president, even if he runs as an independent. And Donald Trump isn't going to end up as the running mate for the eventual GOP nominee.

However, Trump's managed to accomplish something that no one else in American politics has been able to do for a long time. He's called attention to a very serious problem rather than sugarcoat it with innocuous pablum designed to downplay its threat to the nation.

For those late to the game, Trump scolded Washington do-nothing career hack politicians and the Mexican government for allowing a tidal wave of illegal immigrants to flood into the United States over the past 30 years. Some of those illegals, such as Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez,  Loribeth Martinez, John Mendoza Jr., Kristopher Sanchez and Benjamin Hernandez have murdered American citizens while others have raped, robbed, assaulted and beaten other Americans who had the misfortune to encounter these folks.

Had the United States secured its borders and enforced its existing immigration laws, people such as Kathryn Steinle, Traci Lynn Lemley and Jeremy Carrico would still be alive today. But they aren't because of porous borders that allow murderous criminals to stroll into the United States unimpeded.

Here's what Trump said in regards to the growing menace of illegals who are causing havoc throughout the nation: "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting." 

Naturally, Trump's statement was taken completely out of context by leftists, political hacks and open borders activists who accused the billionaire businessman of labeling all Mexicans as thugs, criminals, drug dealers and rapists. He did nothing of the sort. Rather, he accused Mexico of sending its worst citizens to the U.S., similar to what Cuban dictator Fidel Castro did in 1980 with the Mariel boatlift when he sent his worst to the U.S. after he emptied his prisons.

Since leftists control America's popular culture and media, they've painted Trump as an angry white racist and a xenophobe who wants to expel all immigrants and restore Jim Crow in America. That's to be expected from leftists who are some of the most amoral people on earth. 

To them, truth is like a deadly form of cancer that's to be avoided at all costs. Their constituency consists mainly of folks with room temperature IQs and below. And America has a lot of those people. If you doubt that, then go back and look at the 2012 presidential election results. That's why leftists are so successful at destroying the reputations of people such as Trump who they abhor. Because there are a lot of people in America who'll believe whatever the left tells them.

But not everyone. Trump's currently pulling strong numbers in the race for the GOP nomination. And that's because he's not afraid to say what others won't say. Trump can't be bullied into silence with the loss of endorsements and TV shows. His economic health doesn't depend on that. He's able to thrive despite the ad hominem attacks. And a lot of people love him because he's honest, blunt and brash. Those are qualities that haven't been seen in presidential candidates in a long, long time. 

Nevertheless, Trump's not going to become America's 45th president. Why not? Because as powerful and popular as he is, there are people more powerful than him who dwell in the shadows and control America's culture and politics. People such as George Soros, David Rockefeller, Bill Gates and Larry Page whose combined resources dwarf Trump's. And these people want a new world order with a central government that will possess absolute authority over every person on earth.

And in order to accomplish that, they need a president who'll help them dismantle the United States as a superpower and move the world closer to a one-world government. It matters not whether that man is a Democrat or a Republican. All that matters is he does whatever he's told to do. Such as Barack Obama. Donald Trump can't and won't be bought, compromised or manipulated. That's why he has no chance. 

Nearly 2,600 years ago, the prophet Daniel was given a vision from God concerning a powerful world government that would rise in the last days. (Daniel 7) Six centuries later, the apostle John received a similar vision. (Revelation 13, Revelation 17) And now, we're seeing the beginning of the fulfillment of those prophecies. Indeed, we're living in prophetic times.
