I thought it was curious, that when Hussein came to Dallas this past Monday that they did not shut the whole city down like they always did for Hillary when she was first lady.

I don’t like this kind of scenario even in exercise!

This is not a game we are living through, these forces are real.

To bring man back from the brink his heart must be striving to be right with the Lord.

We been lulled into this place and always seem to dodge the bullet like 9/11 and then go back to our merry way of doing things.

We would have not lost our liberties and would not have if we were a humble people and not allowed immoral laws oc=ver the decates to become a part of our government.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. http://scriptures.lds.org/en/eph/6

19 For the kingdom of the devil must shake, and they which belong to it must needs be stirred up unto repentance, or the devil will grasp them with his everlasting chains, and they be stirred up to anger, and perish;
20 For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good.
21 And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.

22 And behold, others he flattereth away, and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none—and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance.
23 Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil, and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God, and be judged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

24 Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion!
25 Wo be unto him that crieth: All is well!
26 Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men, and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost! http://scriptures.lds.org/en/2_ne/28/21#21

Sisters and brothers you are no longer in an easy place learn of Him!

D&C 121: 35, 39
35 Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson—
• • •
39 We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion

Beware;Church of Social Justice- Collectivism
This day is now...
http://scriptures.lds.org/en/morm/8/31

31 Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be great pollutions upon the face of the earth; there shall be murders, and robbing, and lying, and deceivings, and whoredoms, and all manner of abominations; when there shall be many who will say, Do this, or do that, and it mattereth not, for the Lord will uphold such at the last day. But wo unto such, for they are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity.

13 Behold, I make an end of speaking concerning this people. I am the son of Mormon, and my father was a descendant of Nephi.
14 And I am the same who hideth up this record unto the Lord; the plates thereof are of no worth, because of the commandment of the Lord. For he truly saith that no one shall have them to get gain; but the record thereof is of great worth; and whoso shall bring it to light, him will the Lord bless.

15 For none can have power to bring it to light save it be given him of God; for God wills that it shall be done with an eye single to his glory, or the welfare of the ancient and long dispersed covenant people of the Lord.
16 And blessed be he that shall bring this thing to light; for it shall be brought out of darkness unto light, according to the word of God; yea, it shall be brought out of the earth, and it shall shine forth out of darkness, and come unto the knowledge of the people; and it shall be done by the power of God.

17 And if there be faults they be the faults of a man. But behold, we know no fault; nevertheless God knoweth all things; therefore, he that condemneth, let him be aware lest he shall be in danger of hell fire.
18 And he that saith: Show unto me, or ye shall be smitten—let him beware lest he commandeth that which is forbidden of the Lord.

19 For behold, the same that judgeth rashly shall be judged rashly again; for according to his works shall his wages be; therefore, he that smiteth shall be smitten again, of the Lord.
20 Behold what the scripture says—man shall not smite, neither shall he judge; for judgment is mine, saith the Lord, and vengeance is mine also, and I will repay.

21 And he that shall breathe out wrath and strifes against the work of the Lord, and against the covenant people of the Lord who are the house of Israel, and shall say: We will destroy the work of the Lord, and the Lord will not remember his covenant which he hath made unto the house of Israel—the same is in danger to be hewn down and cast into the fire;

22 For the eternal purposes of the Lord shall roll on, until all his promises shall be fulfilled.
23 Search the prophecies of Isaiah. Behold, I cannot write them. Yea, behold I say unto you, that those saints who have gone before me, who have possessed this land, shall cry, yea, even from the dust will they cry unto the Lord; and as the Lord liveth he will remember the covenant which he hath made with them.

24 And he knoweth their prayers, that they were in behalf of their brethren. And he knoweth their faith, for in his name could they remove mountains; and in his name could they cause the earth to shake; and by the power of his word did they cause prisons to tumble to the earth; yea, even the fiery furnace could not harm them, neither wild beasts nor poisonous serpents, because of the power of his word.

25 And behold, their prayers were also in behalf of him that the Lord should suffer to bring these things forth.
26 And no one need say they shall not come, for they surely shall, for the Lord hath spoken it; for out of the earth shall they come, by the hand of the Lord, and none can stay it; and it shall come in a day when it shall be said that miracles are done away; and it shall come even as if one should speak from the dead.

27 And it shall come in a day when the blood of saints shall cry unto the Lord, because of secret combinations and the works of darkness.
28 Yea, it shall come in a day when the power of God shall be denied, and churches become defiled and be lifted up in the pride of their hearts; yea, even in a day when leaders of churches and teachers shall rise in the pride of their hearts, even to the envying of them who belong to their churches.

29 Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be heard of fires, and tempests, and vapors of smoke in foreign lands;
30 And there shall also be heard of wars, rumors of wars, and earthquakes in divers places.
31 Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be great pollutions upon the face of the earth; there shall be murders, and robbing, and lying, and deceivings, and whoredoms, and all manner of abominations; when there shall be many who will say, Do this, or do that, and it mattereth not, for the Lord will uphold such at the last day. But wo unto such, for they are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity.

32 Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be churches built up that shall say: Come unto me, and for your money you shall be forgiven of your sins.
33 O ye wicked and perverse and stiffnecked people, why have ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain? Why have ye transfigured the holy word of God, that ye might bring damnation upon your souls? Behold, look ye unto the revelations of God; for behold, the time cometh at that day when all these things must be fulfilled.

34 Behold, the Lord hath shown unto me great and marvelous things concerning that which must shortly come, at that day when these things shall come forth among you.
35 Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing.

36 And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts; and there are none save a few only who do not lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts, unto the wearing of very fine apparel, unto envying, and strifes, and malice, and persecutions, and all manner of iniquities; and your churches, yea, even every one, have become polluted because of the pride of your hearts.
37 For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.

38 O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of the praise of the world?
39 Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?

40 Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain, and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads?
41 Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you; and the time soon cometh that he avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for he will not suffer their cries any longer.
* VERSE 6 (A.D. 401). Passages from The Book of Mormon

May these words stick with you when the time comes ye will remember and the eye of understanding will unfold to you!

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen

But a 1% chance that the Left will screw America completely up, set back race relations 100 years, and secure left-wing democrat power for 40, is too much of a risk to take.

The lefts GOALs were to screw America up, set back race relations 100 years and try to secure left wing power for 40 plus years. So far they've suceeded at the first 2.

Destroying race relations was critical for them. Keeping the slaves on the plantation is essential to getting the democrats re-elected. Once a slave get's freed up from the liberal plantation he realizes that he is a citizen with the same rights and responsibilites and opportunities as the rest of us and can no longer be segrated or controlled. A free black man is the democrat's worst nightmare.

I really don’t know what to say about the article itself. Anything is possible. However, I will share something that has been on my heart for a while, and is the conclusion I’ve reached after prayer.

Obama is an evil man who does not know the Lord. I believe God has heard the prayers of the faithful and will turn this country around. I can’t tell you exactly when or how, but it is something I just know in my spirit. On the other hand, I believe things will get much worse before they get better, because the left will not let go of power willingly. I believe those who persevere in the faith of Jesus Christ will make it through.

And let’s not forget Clinton’s impeachment “all about sex” when in reality it was all about perjury before a court of law. To this day, few know the truth and most know the lie.

Perjury wasn't even the most serious offense. Subornation of perjury, especially from an employee he supervised (Bettie Currie), was the most heinous crime and the biggest abuse of office.

>I believe God has heard the prayers of the faithful and will turn this country around.

That would be good news indeed.

>I can’t tell you exactly when or how, but it is something I just know in my spirit. On the other hand, I believe things will get much worse before they get better,

That’s obvious from where I sit; there are things that DESPERATELY need ripped out of our social/national fabric: the human sacrifices to the god of convenience [abortion] for one, the utter perversion of justice by the courts [’case law’/”precedence”], and the government’s “laws are only for the *little people*”-attitude are three examples.

>because the left will not let go of power willingly.

This is true; it is something that I wish more people would realize... especially those who say “wait for November, there’s going to be a landslide!” However, I believe that this applies to *both* parties; I can all too easily see the Republican-party using this to get “their seats” and then not doing a thing about the “stated party planks.” {i.e. playing the electorate for fools.}

>I believe those who persevere in the faith of Jesus Christ will make it through.

I hope so.

LBJ was no leftist. He was a power hungry, murderous Texas politician. JFK was but one of his victims.

“It’s always been the Left that does the assassinating, as far as I know.”

“Really? Who?”

+++++++++++++

Just off the top of my head:

Russian People’s Will -— assinated the Czar and started Soviet Revolution

Chinese Assassination Corps -— same concept

Lee Harvey Oswald

John Hinkley, Jr — tried to kill Reagan, avowed communist

Samuel Byck (attempted assasin of Nixon who tried to fly a plane into the white house and was gunned down -— how soon people forget)

Leon Czolgosz (killed President McKinley — communist with anarchist leanings)

Carlos the Jackal

Any number of arab communist/socialist assasins.

Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama is a fake. He is the ultimate pretender. Zero is in the pockets and controlled by major corporations. He is the ultimate corporate man. He represents fascist ideals pure and simple. Please watch this very pointed video commentary from Australia:

John Pilger - Obama Is A Corporate Marketing Creation

These are among the reasons why Robert Shapiro -- a former senior advisor to Bill Clinton -- said that the only thing that can rescue Obama is a terror attack on the scale of Oklahoma City or 9/11. The Time to Wake Up is long past. We are living in a fascist state.

And another reminder that such events only ever serve to benefit the people in control . . .

the various radical elements who control the Democrat party have got so much power now

I think this is a very important point that the sheeple in America need to understand. There ARE radical elements controlling our elections and our govt. It's been documented and reported. I even saw a special on PBS or one of those stations about the communists party in America and how they are infiltrating the Dem party.


It's important to realize that it's not just the Democratic party that has been infested by the 'enemy within'. It's all aspects of government and society, e.g. education, the media that have been infiltrated. The Republican party has been sidling to the left in the name of compromise, consensus, reaching across the aisle, bipartisanship, compassionate conservatism, being the lesser of 2 evils, etc.. Unfortunately Birch, McCarthy, and Goldwater were correct.

... The commies, socialists, anarchists and other radicals don't care a toss about peace, the environment, equality for women, gay rights, animal testing, immigration policy or any of the other "trendy" left-wing causes. Their sole priority is to smash capitalism and democracy, and all of those things are just sticks to beat us with. They ride on the genuine (if misguided) concerns of ordinary decent folk who basically want to see a fairer world. It's rampant exploitation, at its most utterly cynical.

Really well put!
