White House: coordinator for labor unrest and Middle East political upheaval?
There is a pattern sweeping through the Middle East as well as in the United States where unrest, protests, and political upheaval are manifest. Some radio talk show hosts were ridiculed when they pointed to the White House as a key source in giving these civic interruptions impetus. But the longer the unrest continues, the more evidence is mounting that the current Administration is shaping it, encouraging it, even lending the full weight of the White House behind it. It is beyond imagination to most Americans that its own leadership would be fomenting socialist revolution here and abroad, but it is. It started with the Bush Administration and exponentially accelerated under the current White House.
At the end of the Bush Administration, the American Embassy in Cairo sponsored an Egyptian dissident to attend a New York summit and to meet various US politicians and leaders. The Embassy's report to Washington was exposed by the Wikileaks releases. Part and parcel to this visit were meetings to "replace" the current Egyptian regime with a democracy. This was Bush's ill-fated objective throughout the Middle East. Since, the current Administration has prosecuted this policy with great vigor, only the players have become international unions, the Muslim Brotherhood and Revolutionary Socialist movements in the Middle East--A mixture of unions, terrorists and socialists fomenting revolution.
The president's campaign organizational arm, Organizing for America, is assisting the labor unrest in Wisconsin. Organizing for America is also the activist organizing wing of the Democratic National Committee. Ohio and Michigan are also targets. This is confirmed on the Organizing for America website. The November elections expressed a clear mandate that spending must be brought under control. Legislators of these states are revising laws to take certain taxpayer funded benefits away from the unions as a way to balance budgets. The unions say no. By their actions, the unions and the White House are working to bankrupt the states rather than assist in fiscal responsibility.
Many people express ardent disbelief that the labor unrest in Wisconsin and the political unrest in the Middle East are connected. The connection comes straight from the White House as proven by the public documents. The White House is serving as a coordinating point, or clearing house, for political and labor unrest in both America and in the Muslim world. This curiously resembles the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood plan for North America revealed in the Texas Holy Land terror trial. Even more curious is that this Administration is encouraging the Muslim Brotherhood to be part of the government in Egypt, and has held meetings with its members. Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you."

Rebellion and the prophetic aftermath of American foreign policy
As Americans begin to deal with the gas price increase of some 50 cents in the past four months, 16 cents a gallon in the last week, the unrest in the Middle East begins to take a more concrete position in the hearts and minds--and pocketbooks--of the citizens. This is going to sink in real fast about what the Lord says of Israel in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curses thee." The faster the enemies of Israel are established and reestablished the more we will see this very verse in the near beginning of the Bible play out before our eyes. Why? There is increasingly more evidence that the White House is behind much of the unrest.
News outlets such as the UK Telegraph, the Examiner, the Jerusalem Post and more are painting a picture of a delusional American president working with international socialist organizations, the Muslim Brotherhood and other dissident groups throughout the Middle East to foment revolution in the name of democracy. The man who occupies the Oval Office told a group of Jewish campaign donors in Miami that Israel and the US should not be afraid of the changes taking place in the Middle East. He said, "I'm actually confident that 10 years from now we're going to be able to look back potentially and say this was the dawning of an entirely new and better era."
The new and better era, however, is truly one of perspective. If you are Islamic, the possibilitiy of a totally "Islamified" Middle East is greater today than in any other since the establishment of Israel in 1948. A Wikileaks released secret document reveals that the most powerful nation in the world, the United States, has been working to undermine governments throughout the Middle East. The public position, of course, is to establish democracy. In reality, however, the United States has done the heavy lifting of aiding and abetting revolution in the Middle East. As Redstate.com reports, "Now the Muslim Brotherhood, with the help of Iran and some al Qaeda support, will start the real revolution."
As America braces itself for $4 dollar gasoline and all the inflationary aftermath, those who can discern the scriptures will see the direct cause and effect of being rebellious to God's word. God will not be mocked. In Isaiah 66:1 the Lord says, "The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool." In verse 4, the Lord says, "I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear; but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not." This is a strong word today. And many will take offense. Understand, God judges nations and the truth of the prophecies are not denied. Gird yourself and pray for mercy.

Islam: The white elephant in the national security debate
The Republican controlled House of Representatives and the Democratic White House are locking horns over the so-called radicalization of Muslims in the United States. Both are trying to delicately walk the thin line between religion and national security, but both are falling on opposite sides. The White House and Democrats in Congress want to ensure that a minority religion is not singled out and blamed for the hatred many Muslims express for Jews and Christians and the terrorist acts that are perpetrated almost exclusively by Muslims. Congressional Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee are about to hold hearings on how Muslims are turning into home-grown terrorists at an alarming rate.
It is no surprise that Minnesota Democrat Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, is coming to the rescue of his kind. He told CNN that everyone is concerned about the breadth of Islamic extremism in the United States. Of course, there is always the three letter word "But" following. Ellison said, "To say we're going to investigate...a religious minority, and a particular one, I think is the wrong course of action to take." The White House sent deputy national security advisor Denis McDonough to a mosque-sponsored interfaith forum and took the Rodney King approach--why can't we all just get along. McDonough said "We are all Americans" and stressed the need for tolerance. This ignores the obvious.
It is good that the politicians are having a national debate on this issue. It is bad that they all want to whitewash the problem. Peaceful Muslims have to recognize that their "religion" is responsible for most of the man-incurred death and destruction of human beings worldwide. When there is child sex trafficking, slavery, drug dealing, human rights violations, and war, Islam is usually at the root of it these days. Wherever Jews are persecuted and killed or held up for hate and ridicule, Islam is usually the offending party. And any reasonable person would find it difficult to recount when a Muslim was not behind a terrorist attack in recent history. Nobody wants to say that America is at war with Islam.
Islam, however, is the first to say it is at war with the "Great Satan" America. And if it was not about "religion" all the clerics and muftas and ayatollahs would be demanding an end to the violence. They don't. The white elephant in these hearings is the very fact that Islam is using religion to perpetrate terrorism. The case should be made that Islam is a political system rather than a legitimate religion. Islam should be considered a national security risk so long as its Koran commands Muslims to kill Jews and Christians--isn't that singling out particular religions, Mr. Ellison? Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." Mohammed certainly is one of those false prophets and deceivers.

Clinton says al Jazeera is "real news"
Christians and Jews in America should be shocked and appalled at Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's comments that the terrorist-supporting, hate spewing propaganda arm for Islam provides better news than the free press in America. This love affair with Islam as portrayed by this White House is beyond pale. And the wave of anti-Judeo Christian sentiment as expressed by government policies and the courts is only the shaft of the spear now that the White House and the Administration have become its tip. The nation is being taken over with Islamic apologists. While Christianity and Judaism are trouble makers and hate mongers, Islam is chic despite its treatment of women, children and its global terrorism.
Clinton told a Congressional Hearing March 2, "You've got a global set of networks that Al Jazeera has been the leader in that are literally changing people's minds and attitudes...In fact viewership of al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it's real news. You may not agree with it, but you feel like you're getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners." That Clinton believes al Jazeera is "real news" and that the American approach to news "is not particularly informative" is a real jab at the First Amendment.
Clinton also noted that China and Russia are able to push their message overseas since they have started English-language networks. Clinton was decrying the ability of these nations to control their message and place their propaganda effectively. In a very subtle way, she was saying that the United States' freedom of the press was no match for the propaganda machines of Islam, China and Russia. And in the way that it was presented, Clinton was saying that the controlled media does a better job than the free press in getting their message across. The second message she was promoting is that the terrorist news network, al Jazeera, is better than America's news networks.
The American media has its problems largely because it has been inundated by leftists who do not know right from wrong and are unable to give a clear picture of the true news. But they are a far cry better than a Sharia law, pro-terrorist Islamic propaganda channel. Clinton's remarks express two themes: that Islamic media is better than American news media and that the First Amendment places the press at a disadvantage to propaganda networks. If ever the government acts on these theories, Islamic persecution of Jews and Christians will be commonplace in this country. Jeremiah 51:14 says, "I will fill thee with men as with locusts and the shall lift up a shout against thee." Are they coming?

Impeachment or judgment, American apathy may decide
Attorney General Eric Holder, in announcing the Administration will not defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in court, said, "The president and I have concluded that classifications based on sexual orientation warrant heightened scrutiny and that, as applied to same-sex couples legally married under state law, Section 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional." On June 16, 2005, US District Judge Gary L. Taylor ruled that Section 3 of DOMA, excluding same-sex partners from any of the federal benefits available to married opposite-sex couples, does not violate the federal Constitution. On October 10, 2006, the US Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal, leaving the constitutionality of DOMA intact.
Article II Section 1 of the Constitution says of the president's duties: "Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."" The president, therefore, cannot unilaterally or arbitrarily determine that he will decide which laws are constitutional and which laws are not. Article III Section 2 of the Constitution assigns to the Supreme Court "appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."
The Attorney General has implicated the president in unilaterally determining that DOMA is unconstitutional. The president has not denied this, but rather has confirmed it. In a December 18, 2010 news conference, he responded to a question about same sex marriage by ABC news reporter Jake Tapper, saying, "I have friends, I have people who work for me, who are in powerful, strong, long-lasting gay or lesbian unions. And they are extraordinary people, and this is something that means a lot to them and they care deeply about." The president has determined that the Supreme Court, which decides the constitutionality of America's laws, is subordinate to his feelings on the most important institution in civil society--marriage.
This is an impeachable offense. Of all that this presidency has done to destroy the very fabric of American life with debt, socialist health care, homosexuals in the military, and so on, the destruction of marriage would have the most lasting impact on families and society. It is a statement unto God who in Leviticus 18:22 said, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." Jesus said in Matthew 19 that God "made them male and female" and in verse 6, "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." God will not be mocked. Americans ought to demand the removal of this leadership on Constitutional grounds of high crimes and misdemeanors--specifically violating the oath of office.

The collapse in our future
The US Energy Information Administration, the Wall Street Journal, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Labor, FHFA, Standard and Poor, Realty Trac, the Heritage Foundation, The Conference Board, FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury have all individually compiled statistics that are not matching up with what the White House is saying is happening to our economy. Jesus said in Matthew 7:16, "Ye shall know them by their fruits." This means that when actions and words do not match, you have to discern reality by the outcome of what is done, not what is being said. And you must be willing to stand and be good stewards of your citizenship.
When you look at the drastic decline in the United States since 2009--a year into the current White House term--you can see the tremendous amount of effort that is either wrong minded or put into destroying an entire way of life in an effort to "remake America." Let's look at the average retail price of a gallon of gasoline. In January 2009, it was $1.83 and now it is $3.10, an amazing 69.6% increase. Now one might say that the White House has no control over the price of fuel, but its foreign policies that support radical change in oil producing nations has an impact. Domestic policies such as not allowing drilling in Alaska and not issuing permits to produce oil off the Gulf coast (under contempt of court, mind you) are telltale.
National debt has increased from $10.6 trillion to $14.1 trillion from January 2009, a 32% increase. This number is an indicator for what happens with the rest of the economy. This is the most debt America has ever accumulated, the most debt of all the presidencies from Washington through Bush combined. There is an intersection of demise that has been reached. That intersection is the inflation of essential commodities and this tremendous debt. It equals poverty and collapse. Think about it. The inflation of several items in the last year is extraordinary: Foodstuffs like soybeans (42%), corn (78%), Sugar (165%) are pricing food out of the range of the common man.
The food stamp recipients have increased 35% since 2009; the number of long term unemployed is up 146%, and America's poverty ranks have increased by 9.5%. What we are being told is a rosy road to recovery is in actuality a narrow path to destruction. And now, this White House is embracing homosexual marriage by not defending the Defense of Marriage Act. Left to our own devices, we are on a course to collapse. We need a revival of the hearts and minds of our countrymen. We need a revolution of God-given common sense as found in the Holy Scriptures. Some will call it judgment for our adultery and idolatry, but look what has been done by the godless men and women we have elected.

Egypt, Israel and America and the prophetic destiny
Since the United States forced the resignation of Egypt's dictator Hosni Mubarak, many have been trying to discern prophetically what this means. The recent history of Egypt lends some insight. The establishment of Israel in 1948 fulfilled many prophecies of the return of the Jews to their homeland, and it likely set the prophetic clock in motion. Egypt has played a major role in war and peace in the Middle East since then. And prior to that, in ancient history Egypt played a major role in God's plan for mankind--the lineage of Jesus Christ was preserved by Joseph becoming powerful there; the Christ was protected after Herod's decree to kill firstborn males; the Jews were preserved there in bondage.
Isaiah Chapter 19 lends us insight into God's prophetic plan for Egypt. The chapter begins with the Lord riding upon a cloud into Egypt, moving the idols aside and melting Egypt's heart. Herein, He sets the Egyptians against the Egyptians, brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor. And Egypt is given over to a cruel leader whereas the entire well being of Egypt is diminished. In their depression and oppression, the LORD eventually heals Egypt and there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria (modern day Iraq) and Assyria and Egypt will serve together, and in verse 19:24, "In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land."
Since 1948, Egypt has warred with Israel no less than three times. In 1952, Gamel Nasser rose to power after a bloody revolution and civil war in Egypt, in part the result of Egypt's defeat by Israel in 1948. Nasser established Arab socialism in Egypt and his policies provoked the Six Day War in 1967 where Israel gained Sinai, Gaza and the Golan Heights. After Nasser died, Anwar Sadat was elected leader. He attacked Israel in 1973 and gained back the Sinai after peace negotiations. By 1977, Sadat's policies resulted in riots in Egypt and he was assassinated by a group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Mubarak then became president. It appears that Isaiah 19 is in various stages of fulfillment.
Zechariah 14:14-19 offers more insight. After the day of the Lord, the nations that come against Jerusalem, including Egypt, are expected to go up from year to year to worship the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. Verse 18-19 says "And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of the tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles." These are very important prophecies, some that are in play today. America's role in them determines to some extent our prophetic destiny. Right now, we are involved in ushering in deeper evil.

Egypt, Israel and America and the prophetic destiny
Since the United States forced the resignation of Egypt's dictator Hosni Mubarak, many have been trying to discern prophetically what this means. The recent history of Egypt lends some insight. The establishment of Israel in 1948 fulfilled many prophecies of the return of the Jews to their homeland, and it likely set the prophetic clock in motion. Egypt has played a major role in war and peace in the Middle East since then. And prior to that, in ancient history Egypt played a major role in God's plan for mankind--the lineage of Jesus Christ was preserved by Joseph becoming powerful there; the Christ was protected after Herod's decree to kill firstborn males; the Jews were preserved there in bondage.
Isaiah Chapter 19 lends us insight into God's prophetic plan for Egypt. The chapter begins with the Lord riding upon a cloud into Egypt, moving the idols aside and melting Egypt's heart. Herein, He sets the Egyptians against the Egyptians, brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor. And Egypt is given over to a cruel leader whereas the entire well being of Egypt is diminished. In their depression and oppression, the LORD eventually heals Egypt and there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria (modern day Iraq) and Assyria and Egypt will serve together, and in verse 19:24, "In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land."
Since 1948, Egypt has warred with Israel no less than three times. In 1952, Gamel Nasser rose to power after a bloody revolution and civil war in Egypt, in part the result of Egypt's defeat by Israel in 1948. Nasser established Arab socialism in Egypt and his policies provoked the Six Day War in 1967 where Israel gained Sinai, Gaza and the Golan Heights. After Nasser died, Anwar Sadat was elected leader. He attacked Israel in 1973 and gained back the Sinai after peace negotiations. By 1977, Sadat's policies resulted in riots in Egypt and he was assassinated by a group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Mubarak then became president. It appears that Isaiah 19 is in various stages of fulfillment.
Zechariah 14:14-19 offers more insight. After the day of the Lord, the nations that come against Jerusalem, including Egypt, are expected to go up from year to year to worship the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. Verse 18-19 says "And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of the tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles." These are very important prophecies, some that are in play today.
