One-time aide to new Atlanta mayor arrested on plane

With the gradual reduction in the power of kings, and the growth of democracy towards universal franchise, the concept of free speech became established as one of the essential factors in the process. Citizens free to criticise the government without fear of unfair retribution compelled politicians to listen to all views if they wished to retain their elected offices. Free speech emerged as an established human right in England during the eighteenth century and became enshrined in the constitution of the USA. Yet after nearly two centuries of unfettered speech, restrictions have been increasingly introduced on both sides of the Atlantic. Politically correct speech is becoming the norm and transgressors are loudly and widely condemned, as has recently been the fate of celebrities in the USA and in the UK.

Does Spain have an iconic female singer to rival those of other nations? Many singers bring to mind the pathos of times past or a period of turbulence. Gracie Fields symbolised the austere but homeliness of a pre-war Britain far removed from what it has since become. Gracie lost her citizenship when, during the war in which Italy was at war with England, the Lancashire nightingale married an Italian and departed for America. Would Vera Lynn have won the nation’s heart had her career not coincided with World War Two? Vera’s White Cliffs of Dover and We’ll Meet Again evoke the sadness of war rather than they do the singer.

I have more Russian friends than you could shake a stick at. I have no wish to do so but my Slav friends firmly believe that the US and EU carry a big stick and they do not take kindly to it. Stung by their being stigmatised, offended by hypocritical posturing, our hurt and exiled fellow Europeans turn east to China and south to India. The Russians have now merged their diplomatic, defence and trade relationships with the monolithic BRICS trading bloc. BRICS control almost 40 % of the GDP/PPP in the world. That is more than USA and EU together. Given the minuscule size, troubled and shrinking economies of the EU and US, one wonders if the EU and U.S in fact exile themselves.

Summary: The Muslim problem is about militancy as taught in the Koran. Christ said, “Blessed are the peace-makers.” The Bible covenant with Abraham provided the Middle East for his descendants. That includes Arabic Muslims from Ishmael. Islam’s push into Europe and America is foreseen in Daniel 8, but it ends badly for a militant Muslim ram.

As we remember this past December 7th, a day that will live in infamy Pearl Harbor reminds us of the sacrifices by the greatest generation should not have been made in vain. A world war ensued where the terror of the Nazi’s set the world ablaze. Now, a new terror has emerged where the seeds of destruction and mayhem were planted well over 30 years ago.

Canada is bringing in up to 50,000 Arab refugees through 2016. What challenges will they face in culture, language and jobs? One thing is for certain. Young Arabs will have opportunities they cannot get in the Middle East. And that’s a very good thing. Our job is to communicate with them and make them welcome.

Latin America is proof that the pope’s US/UN agenda for “common good” and a New World Order has little value. South America, colonized by Catholic priests, have had Catholic government for centuries and they are still in poverty.

The Bible uses political cartoons to represent nations. In the book of Daniel we find a ram in the Middle East pushing west, but it is stomped by a goat that flies from the west “at the time of the end.” That will be the end of militant Islam, but the ram is a more noble creature than a goat as suggested by Christ when he will separate the sheep from the goats. The Quran teaches militancy that will get its adherents killed. Bible has better information on current events as they unfold.

The term ‘horn’ is used in the bible to describe power, knowledge, and wisdom. It is given to some to use their horn to devastate others and as a bull gouges with its horns so the Spirit is gouging the evil religions that hide the Spirit.

It is the way we have all returned and everyone who has ever lived has been back now to face the wrath of God or to receive their inheritance. That is why there are so many alive today and why the end of the earth is happening now.
