HERE WE GO?

   The Egyptian army has routed the Muslim Brotherhood's Protest Camps in Cairo. Initial reports indicate the use of bulldozers, tear gas, automatic weapons and sharp shooters. As of Wednesday, Noon, The Washington Times was reporting 149 dead, 800 injured. Some of the dead had bullet wounds to the chest and head, indicating intentional killing.

   In a Wall Street Journal Report, Vice President, Mohamed ElBaradei, resigned in protest of the crack down. The Egyptian Initiative For Personal Rights, a human rights group, said the crackdown already had spurred attacks by Brotherhood supporters against Coptic Christian churches in Southern Egypt.  [What did they do?]

   According to American journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who is close to the Obama Administration, "Kerry, capitalizing on [Israel's] anxiety, has warned Netanyahu…that if the current peace talks bear no fruit, Israel may soon be facing an international delegitimization campaign -- in his words – 'on steroids.'"

   Yesterday, Israel released 26 terrorist murderers from prison in a gesture of peace.
 
   USA Today reports that Syrian rebels outside Damascus said Tuesday that thousands of Hezbollah and Iraqi fighters are massing on the outskirts of the capital in what appears to be a prelude to a large-scale ground invasion against towns they have held for months.

   "Planes are dropping off fully armed fighters from Hezbollah and the Iraqi Fadl Brigades," said opposition activist Abu Yasser.

   Hezbollah is a Lebanon-based terrorist group; the Fadl Brigades are Iranian-trained Shiite Muslim militants from Iraq. Both groups are likely destined for the fight in al-Qusayr, a town near the Lebanese border that is at the center of the rebels' supply routes for ammo and fighters, Yasser said.  [You do know Lebanon is Israel's Northern neighbor!]

   Still worried about what you'll wear to the Prom?

   Who or What can fix the Middle East? The Enemies are miles apart, in terms of agreement. The only agreement is among the Muslims who want Israel gone and Islam established as a World-wide Caliphate. How do you negotiate with that?

    I think we need an International Representative for Peace to come to the Middle East and settle all the issues, don't  you? Where would we find such a person? Maybe the United Nations? Maybe the European Union? Maybe the United States. 

    What would he do? He could start by signing a Non-Aggression Treaty with Israel, for say, 7 years. A commitment from the West that should Israel be attacked we would come to her aid. Would that work? No! But this is exactly what The Bible predicts [Dan 9:27]

    This is what The Bible prophesies as The Beginning of The Great Tribulation. Keep your eyes peeled on the Eastern Sky.

The Economy: Left v. Right? Or Right v. Wrong?

   There is hardly an adult in America who isn't wondering [at least] about where this government's fiscal policy is taking us. According to statistics released Monday [8/12/13], by the Treasury Department, the government has made progress in staunching the spread of red ink, while managing to avoid a double-dip recession.

    Through the first 10 months of 2013, the deficit dropped $607.4 billion, down from $973.8 billion at this same point in 2012. We're also being told [in other news] that businesses are making money, profits are up and the Stock Market is doing well....so far.

    So, what's happening? Is the Socialist-Progressive Fiscal Plan working? Are we being lied to? Is this the Lull-Before-The-Storm?

    Before you go out and have a party, I have one word for you: ObamaCare! This monster kicks into high gear, next year. Along with that are the millions of Americans who cannot and will not find Full Time work, because employers need to get below 50 full-time employees, reducing household incomes by at least a quarter or more.

    It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's happening. Our current economic policy is immoral! Those in government, who have created the present scenario, know full well what they're doing will virtually bankrupt the country and destroy the middle class. What they're doing is deliberate!

    How can I be so definitive? We know these people know what they're doing because the vast majority of them are millionaires! They know how money works. They know how to accumulate wealth. They know that giving away their money to friends and neighbors, even strangers, with no hope that it will help those people become self-sufficient, is foolish! They don't do it in their personal finances, just look at how much Liberals and Progressives give to charity.

    No one gets rich devaluing the currency or increasing the cost of doing business, yet that's exactly what's happening on a broad scale. So what's really going on?

    What's really going on is the world hurling itself toward Armageddon! Everywhere you look you see more and more immorality, crime and moral devastation. We used to be able to list the most current illustrations, but there are more and worse occurring every day! Too many to keep up with.

    Will the Republicans stop the implementation of ObamaCare? Not without a Republican President to sign the Bill. Will the Republicans stop the spending? Not if they want to get elected again. Will we return to The Rule of Law? Probably not. This Administration has refined the art of Government By Decree and no one is calling them on it. I expect they are establishing a new paradigm that succeeding Presidents and Cabinet Officials will follow, with impugnity

    This is not a Republican v. Democrat issue. It's not a political Left v. Right issue. It's a Right v. Wrong issue and The Wrong is winning!

WHO AM I TO JUDGE?

   Ruth Marcus, Washington Post Columnist, writes that a society which is less inclined to moral judgments is, for the most part, a happy development. She believes when one takes the position: "Who Am I Too Judge," it's a good thing for society.

   I think she's wrong! Oops....that's a moral judgment!

   Marcus is responding to the Pope's recent foray into the world of political correctness, to wit: His comments regarding the sexual proclivities of practicing Catholics.

   The pope believes, as long as the person 'searches for The Lord and has good will, what he or she does in the bedroom is none of his business. "Who am I to judge?"

   One can only wonder what the next Papal Bull will be about. It seems to me that these are largely judgmental statements about a host of subjects. Of course, they are spoken 'ex cathedra,' meaning they are authoritative and infallible.

   An infallible judgment is different from an ordinary judgment? Am I being judgmental to say thievery is wrong or dangerous to society? Am I judgmental to say lying is a bad thing? Or am I simply making a moral observation?

   A "happy development" in terms of a society would seem to be a good thing for the society at at large. Is that true of homosexual behavior? Ruth Marcus seems to think it is.

   Isn't that just another judgment? Is your opinion about this a judgment? Am I judging you, now? This is all too confusing for me!
