Hagel sworn in as Defense secretary
The Hill ^ | 2/27/13 | Jeremy Herb

Posted on 02/27/2013 9:16:36 AM PST by OPS4

New Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Wednesday that the United States must engage in the world and work with its allies as he addressed Defense Department employees and service members for the first time as Pentagon chief. “We can't dictate to the world, but we must engage in the world. We must lead with our allies,” Hagel said in his first speech as secretary. “Allies are, as everyone in this room knows, particularly important. No nation — as great as America is — can do any of this alone.

“We can’t dictate to the world, but we must engage in the world. We must lead with our allies,” Hagel said in his first speech as secretary. “Allies are, as everyone in this room knows, particularly important. “

Translation: We dictate to our allies, and get dictated to by our enemies. (Sooner or later, everyone catches on, and then we have no more allies).

“But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another...”

I read the Bible too, and no one knows for sure if the time is near, but I intend to move to another "city," or in my case, another country. I have fought the socialists/communists my entire life. It is time to go to that south sea island beach, and continue the fight from there.

When are the American people,what few of us are left,are going to wake up and realize once and for all that America has been sold to the highest bidder by the Republican and Democrat Parties who have corrupted our entire electoral system.

They are nothing but white collar mafia type mirror organizations that by elect and control politicians for the rich and powerful people and corporations that meet and divide the split each year.

Their has never been and never will be enough money or power for people who worship mammon and have no moral compass.

This is what happens every time to nations who Kick God out and let their leaders who are but men set their floating benchmarks for moral standards.

We are beginning the process of reaping what we have sown and it is going to get much worse. Our country belongs to those who own the party puppets with many strings.

The good news is that their insane greed will destroy them.

It always does. The sad part is the loss of a great way of life for millions to be replaced by despair and the needless terrible suffering.

Or Idaho .

My point is it is self-preservation is not a sin one would be a fool to shout on a street corner knowing the Beast would crush you in a heartbeat , be it physically spiritually or financially, like a bug against an M1 tank.

But, if you do move there are better Christian countries out there than the now secular humanist gaia USA. Philippines is one that pops into my head immediately.

Bingo. You figured it out. Three days ago, I was there and I hated to leave the Philippines. Hopefully, later this year, I will move there permanently. I met many nice ex pats and many nice Christian Filipinos as well. I felt like I was at home. I vowed to move there ASAP.

Yup, except for the fact they are in the direct line of fire of Typhoons and the very hot average temperatures.

Some say the furthest north island gets less of them and is the optimal place to live coupled with not as hot temps.

Ecuador , Belize, Chile are a few more countries that more than welcome foreigners looking for better climes.

Typhoons hit there frequently, but I plan to live in Davao City. It is protected from the typhoons by the surrounding mountains. There is flooding, but not in the subdivision I want to stay in, 3 blocks from the beach. It is hot for sure, and that is the worst thing to have to deal with, but there are 7 malls to walk around, with air con. I have been there many times, so I know what it is like, and I have been planning on this for many years. I did not make this choice just recently, it is just time to retire, and then I am gone.

There is a power of good (GOD) and there is evil, Satan(the beast gets his power from Satan), the beast is growing in America and is control of the government at many levels. Many do not know this. Some are aware and awake.

The power of the people is being overrun by the immigration numbers coming in waves, not in a systemic and absorbing way that allows for the system to grow and need more things for the immigrants arriving, without possessions or funds. They are good workers, and family oriented by and large. It takes time for the process to work in a positive way. It can not and does not work for thousands to enter with essentially nothing and expect to live America's good life. They do acquire skills in the housing industry, etc. What is a big problem is they need medical care, dental care and schools for their children, they expect the government or welfare to provide this free to them. No one gets it free, or should they. We work for what we have. The quota system on a monthly/yearly basis could and should allow for a steady number, of controlled entrance. Instead the border states are overwhelmed.

Radical practices are definitely occurring in every department. 5 Generals have been fired, released, etc., there are severe cut backs in the defense department, the closing of NASA is and was a huge deterrent to America's future in Space exploration. Senselessly. To the detriment of America and our way of life at every level. We are riddled with Islamics inside the government agencies.

God help us. In spite of all these facts in our face.
The liberals have about 90% of all medias outlets, and this has misinformed or only given one bias view of Republicans. This information has won the vote, plus packing with non eligible voters.

We may soon be Venezuela ... in effect. Trying to blend into the wall paper is not a good strategy. MOO!

Agenda: How Marxists Are Grinding America Down
A film you need to review before it’s too late.

“We’re in a thirty-front war…”
“They’re hitting us on every front…”
“We have no leadership…”
“They are playing chess while we are playing checkers…”

Do any of these ring true with you? Do you think this by accident? It is not.

Whenever I speak to groups about the state of America, the fight for her future and how to become a Force Multiplier, I am often critical of the fact that so many people on our side do not really understand the enemy we are fighting from within.

I ran across a video called “Agenda: Grinding America Down.”

One final note: We are in a defensive war–but, as Bowers states in his film, it is not insurmountable…yet.
