You’re most welcome (and I certainly hope you aren’t the only FReeper heeding it!). He may be dangerous, but he’s nowhere near as dangerous as millions of American conservatives allowing themselves to be led around by the nose by the likes of Hamas and mysterious unidentified sources. We need to recognize that our distress over the election of Barack Obama makes us an attractive target for well-organized forces seeking to politically destabilize the US.
Interesting insight into the objectives of anti-American forces. I take heed and hope my fellow Freepers do as well.
Keep us smart, will ya?
Those who represent the conservative side of the isle on TV during interviews or as part of a discussion panel need to regularly expose these facts to the public so the mainstream press and Obama supporters KNOW what stupidity and evil they have brought into our leadership.
The idiots might have been chanting “Death to Israel” as they voted IMO.
Among the most retarded thing I've seen in American politics by a supposedly smart people.
did you read this version? http://www.thebulletin.us/site/index.cfm?newsid=20191256&BRD=2737&PAG=461&dept_id=576361&rfi=8
I talked to the paper, and they stand by the story and their source.
Source? What source? The original Middle East Newsline article is only partially available without subscription, but seems to be saying their source was “aides” of Barack Obama’s, while the Bulletin story is explicitly attributing the same info to aides of Malley’s. Neither mentions who these unnamed aides to somebody-or-other were talking to when they made these claims — the Middle East Newsline article carries no byline. The MEN article (published the day after the election) also puts a mighty vague “over the last few weeks” timeline on the reported Malley mission, while the Bulletin story implies that this was a post-election action by Obama as President-elect (headline begins “In First Mideast Policy Initiative . . . “). The Newsbusters article and its linked source, Israel Today, specify that Malley was dispatched on this mission last week, yet Israel Today cites MEN as its source for the story.
Given that President-elect Obama is a current Senator who has been a Presidential candidate for many months, I imagine that quite a few people having some current or past association with him have had occasion to meet with someone of political significance somewhere in the vast Mideast over the “last few weeks”, to gather/collect information and mumble platitudes about lots of things, perhaps including how Senator-hoping-to-be-President Obama respects the someone in question. They may well have been doing this on their own initiative, with an eye to boosting perception of themselves as having “ties” to the likely (now definite) next US President.
It’s a huge leap from the information in these articles, to the assumption that President-elect Obama “dispatched” anyone, much less Malley, on a “first Mideast policy initiative” mission. What the published information reveals is that somebody claiming to be an aide to either Malley or Obama told some unnamed journalist that Malley was sent by Obama sometime to meet with Mubarak and Assad. Who the heck are these loose-lipped aides? And if they really exist, whose aides are they? And what journalist were they yapping to?
Again, Quote: they stand by their story and sources. (The Bulletin)
Weighing this out, I don’t see how this paper would risk its reputation. Unless they were duped, but I think the editor would have checked it out pretty well before publishing.
I agree, having names would give this story much more credibility and longer legs.
I also note that no major news organization has picked up this story, presumably because its key points (fuzzy to begin with, in the apparent only root source, the MEN article) couldn’t be confirmed.
“Obama is already making major mistakes and he isn’t even Prez yet! “
And no one except a handful of us will ever know. The media is NOT going to cross him. He is their candidate.
I appreciate your history lesson. Any other insights on the situation in the Middle East? Where does the U.S. fit into Biblical prophecy? Does it just fade away in importance, do you think?
Just wondering what your thoughts are....
I thought I recalled the same interpretation about America’s role (or lack thereof) from Bible studies I attended decades ago. When I heard about it at the time, I had a hard time imagining the U.S. without power or influence, and I thought it would be centuries away — not something that would turn in my lifetime.
It boggles my mind that people in our country have elected someone like Obama. It also distresses me that our country has wandered so far away from its origin as a Christian nation, and so many people think having a PC attitude is more important than honoring our past and preserving the Constitution.
Thanks for taking the time to give me your Biblical interpretation.
My guess is the USA is no longer the USA at that time.What do you mean "at that time"? It isn't the USA at THIS time!
The king of the North in Ezekiel 38,39 may include a confederacy of nations reaching all the way to Russia, Siberia and Germany as they are explicitly referenced in the verses. The north, south and other directsions given may be better interpretted with respect to the Land promised Israel and/or Jerusalem as the Holy City. Since the passages are discussing how God provides for the nation of Israel, His children, and the Land He provides, the recent moves by Russia into Syria were rather astounding.
One recent interpretation I hadn’t previously considered was an association of Obama with Kenya as a king of the south. IMHO, it’s a bit of a stretch, but then again with all of Biblical Prophecy being made known to all, I wouldn’t be surprised if the real AntiChrist didn’t make arrangements to try and conceal his identity.
Meanwhile, I wonder if other world leaders aren’t battling one another to become the AntiChrist.
