King Cyrus / Donald Trump Prophecies Before Election Day: What Has Already Come To Pass, & Big New Dreams From A Surprising Place

At a tense and frightening midpoint in this election, I needed some encouragement, and God didn't fail me. Perhaps this will help someone else too.

I've said before I believe Donald John Trump to be a "type" of Cyrus, anointed by God for a specific job at this time in history. Whether he becomes President, I do not know... however I have a strong feeling that his work will have the same strength of accomplishment either way, because that strength comes "‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ saith the Lord of hosts." (Zechariah 4:6)  

First, let's look at one Cyrus/Trump prophecy that has already partly come true to an amazing degree: that of Pastor Jeremiah Johnson, from July 2015 (I learned of this one after receiving my own in Oct/Nov 2015).  As stated, it is centered on the time before the election, the campaign itself, the period we are now in:

"I was in a time of prayer several weeks ago when God began to speak to me concerning the destiny of Donald Trump in America. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Trump shall become My trumpet to the American people, for he possesses qualities that are even hard to find in My people these days. Trump does not fear man nor will he allow deception and lies to go unnoticed. I am going to use him to expose darkness and perversion in America like never before, but you must understand that he is like a bull in a china closet. Many will want to throw him away because he will disturb their sense of peace and tranquility, but you must listen through the bantering to discover the truth that I will speak through him. I will use the wealth that I have given him to expose and launch investigations searching for the truth. Just as I raised up Cyrus to fulfill My purposes and plans, so have I raised up Trump to fulfill my purposes and plans prior to the 2016 election. You must listen to the trumpet very closely for he will sound the alarm and many will be blessed because of his compassion and mercy. Though many see the outward pride and arrogance, I have given him the tender heart of a father that wants to lend a helping hand to the poor and the needy, to the foreigner and the stranger.”

Pastor Johnson resumes: "As the body of Christ, we must keep our ears and eyes open as we continue to move toward the 2016 elections in the United States. I believe that God is not only going to use the prayers of the saints to bring about His plans and purposes, but He is even going to use those who do not know Him. What a great comfort and source of encouragement we have in the wisdom of God in this hour."

We have seen much of this come true, to degrees none of us would have imagined two years ago. All of these things have given us the hard truth, and we are wiser for knowing where betrayal has taken hold:

 So-called "Conservative" or "Christian" bloggers, websites, magazines, writers, analysts, preachers, and others have shown themselves to be Pharisees and False Prophets, ignoring the 9th Commandment and spreading False Witness against us and Mr Trump, ridiculing and maligning us and the candidate for whom record millions voted. Our government, our media, our political parties and elected officials, our VA, our IRS, our Justice Department, even some branches of law enforcement from DHS to some local police departments, have all been perverted by significant numbers of people/department heads within those groups and agencies against American ideals, against the American citizens, against God, and toward the wicked schemes of those individuals and others seeking power and dominion.

Donald Trump's candidacy has set in motion the exposure of ethical, criminal and spiritual corruption in all those places. We are chilled by the extent and kinds of wickedness drawn out into the light - it is truly a swamp, a cesspool - and we await impending news about what else is still being uncovered. 

We have also been blessed to see genuine heroes in the people who braved mobs to go to his rallies, in those who've been fired or abandoned by friends, in agents of the FBI, the NYPD,  ICE and Border Patrol, whistleblowers, Wikileaks and friends, and we've made new friends and allies among bloggers, writers, commenters, elected officials, pastors, and other influencers who have steadfastly stood beside Mr Trump and shared his mission, without making excuses... full stop.  

We have also seen other elements of Isaiah's original verses apply again, especially in Mr Trump's success despite the predictions of the experts. God has made fools of the pollsters:

"I am Yahweh...who destroys the omens of the false prophets and makes fools of diviners; who confounds the wise and makes their knowledge foolishness; who confirms the message of His servant and fulfills the counsel of His messengers;"  Isaiah 44:24-28

This has been a painful and tragic time for all who support Mr Trump, to see that we have been trusting in people, agencies, institutions, traditions, that have become sham. When this is all over, we will take time to grieve.

For now, let us look ahead, as the the best part of these prophesies have not yet come to pass - and they are good indeed.

Fom Pastor Johnson's prophecy: "... many will be blessed because of his compassion and mercy. Though many see the outward pride and arrogance, I have given him the tender heart of a father that wants to lend a helping hand to the poor and the needy, to the foreigner and the stranger."

This tells us that Mr Trump's leadership will ultimately be remembered, just like the original Cyrus, as a compassionate and honorable administration in which families are strengthened, lives are stabilized, and "the hearts of the fathers are turned to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers" (Malachi 4:6)

My own understanding of those post-election purposes have been vague, and I didn't push for details. But in the past two days, the Lord has sent two elements across my path, elements that give me great comfort, and again I feel compelled to share.

First is just a tidbit to reassure that the immediate tasks may not be as formidable or lengthy as our opponents want us to believe, so do not allow anything ever to discourage you. Hillary Clinton has used violence to try to tempt Donald Trump's supporters, to no avail. Stand firm and patient. The original Cyrus conquered the capital city of Babylon in a single night (following a seige), without damage or bloodshed. I think American tradition will hold firm, and the "new Cyrus" will enter the "Washingtonian Babylon" in a peaceful transition as well.  Just as all of us together have watched and helped Mr Trump patiently overcome the combined opposition of every corrupt power in the country - and do so in one single election cycle -  by simple persistence and determination, so too can the rest of the work be done quickly,with persistence. As Mr Trump said:

"All we have to do is stop believing in our failed politicians and start believing in each other and in our country. 

"There is no challenge too great, no dream outside of our reach.

"Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done -- the future lies with the dreamers, not the cynics and the critics." 

The next one, a news report, has a very unusual connection that caught me off guard. What it points to is a kind of renewal that fits with Isaiah's original prophesy and the historical record of King Cyrus, in which the LORD declared that He has empowered Cyrus not only to free His people and rebuild the temple, but so that the whole world will know the Lord our God. (Isaiah 45).

Remember, when reading, that Iran was named Persia until very recently. This was the heart of King Cyrus's empire.  Breitbart's Adelle Nazarian writes:

"Tens of thousands of Iranians, from various parts of the nation, gathered at the site of the tomb of King Cyrus the Great in Pasargadae Friday morning on the anniversary of his birthday to protest the clerical regime’s policies. According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), protesters chanted, “Iran is our country, Cyrus is our father” and “clerical rule is synonymous with only tyranny, only war.” The protesters also reportedly chanted, “freedom of thought cannot take place with beards,” a reference to the theocratic leaders currently in power.

"Many Iranians consider King Cyrus the father of international human rights, citing the discovery of the Cyrus Cylinder around 559 B.C. — the first known charter of human rights. In 1971, the Shah of Iran’s twin sister, the late Princess Ashraf Pahlavi, presented the United Nations with a replica of the Cyrus Cylinder, which is kept at the U.N.’s New York headquarters and is promoted as “an ancient declaration of human rights.”

"Pooya Dayanim, President of the Iranian Jewish Public Affairs Committee (IJPAC), told Breitbart News that the rally was an indication that “the generation that was born after the revolution of 1979 feels as if their parents made a mistake and destroyed their hope and future.” Dayanim added, 

“They consider themselves a burnt generation, just like the generation in America that has been living in their parents’ garages and basements and are either unemployed or underemployed.”

"Dayanim said that ... “getting in touch with their rich Iranian heritage from the pre-Islamic era is one of the only sources of pride they have. What happened today is a sign of them embracing Iran when it was a strong and powerful and respected State, versus the government that they have now which has turned Iran into a pariah and has destroyed their hopes, dreams, aspirations and future.”

This story points to advances made by now-Christian Russia's influence against Islamic theocracy. It portends well toward Mr Trump's foreign policy plans within that region. 

And essentially, it points ahead into a future of considerable brightness, with  hope for genuine liberty coming out of oppression once again. Not through meddlesome outsiders like Hillary Clinton making war, but through God's action in the world raising up peoples and new generations. 

So whatever happens on Tuesday, take heart.

We can be confident that God is moving within these events, "helping him win his battles" and breaking open gates for this new Cyrus.  In addition, other men of good will have been awakened by the alarm, and God's power comes to them as well. 

God's plans will not be thwarted if we few align our will freely to His. What is His will? God stated it clearly in Isaiah 45 (also read Chapters 43, 44 and 46 while you are there). 

Jesus said: "These things I've told you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have trouble, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world. " (John 16:33) 

Why Hillary Clinton's Drinking Is The "Biggest Risk Factor In This Election"

Scott Adams reminds us that candidate alcohol use is the biggest risk factor in this election, pointing out: "Because of nuclear codes and terror attacks and whatnot", that it is *not okay* for a President to drink. He writes:

"Imagine you lived in a world in which no one except one senior citizen ever drank alcoholic beverages. Would you think it is a good idea to choose this one person – the only drinker in the world – to be in charge of the nuclear arsenal? 

 "No, that would be crazy. We know alcohol impairs judgment. And a president is on-call for emergencies 24-hours a day. Alcohol plus life-and-death decisions is a dangerous combination."

He says Americans  overlook candidate drinking because lots of us drink too, but just as we now know that an expectant mother must cease all alcohol intake during her pregnancy, we also need to choose leaders who avoid the dangers of alcohol:

"I would argue that alcohol consumption is the biggest risk differential in this election. We’re just blind to that risk because alcohol is socially acceptable. But even in your own life, you see alcohol being the force behind unwanted pregnancies, drunk driving, bar fights, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and just about every bad decision you’ve ever made. 

If we humans were  even a little bit objective we would never select a leader who is likely to be impaired by alcohol several hours per week, including the workday.  (Allegedly.)"

(Go over and read his whole article - there's an excellent Risk Assessment for both candidates)

Donald Trump does not and has never drank, or smoked anything, or taken any illegal drugs.  He also advises parents that the best way to help their kids avoid substance abuse is to lead a "straight edge lifestyle" themselves:

“If you don’t drink and you don’t do drugs, your children … are going to have a tremendously enhanced chance of really being successful and having a good life,” he said.

“The world is so tough and it is so competitive that you can’t put yourself, as a child, or even as a parent, if you want that child to be successful, at a disadvantage of letting them drink or letting them take drugs because it is not going to work,” Mr. Trump said. “They are going to be at a tremendous disadvantage and ultimately they may not recover.”

Hillary Clinton's drinking, on the other hand,  is "legendary", as reported by her own staff and friendly media, and  she is frequently photographed drinking.

In an schmoozy article last summer promoting her titled "‘President Hillary Clinton?’ She Wants Progress on Immigration and to Drink With G.O.P.". the New York Times says if elected she will be "negotiating over adult beverages", quotes Nera Tanden of the Center for American Progress that Hillary "really loves talking over drinks” and goes on to say:

 "Mrs. Clinton’s ability to use alcohol as a political lubricant came up repeatedly when allies and advisers were asked how she might work with Republicans. Her tale about a drinking contest with Senator John McCain of Arizona is now a Washington legend. "

The UK's Telegraph reported on that incident during her 2008 campaign against Obama, when Hillary's campaign manager went into detail with the BBC about how Hillary Clinton knocked back four shots of vodka to "win" a drinking contest against John McCain:

"...the story was finally confirmed by Mrs Clinton's campaign manager, and by the owner of a restaurant in the Estonian capital of Tallinn. Dimitri Demjanov, proprietor of Gloria's, said the two political heavyweights managed four shots each before Mrs Clinton was declared the winner, though the rules of the contest remain somewhat opaque.

"Was it first past the post? Did Mr McCain demand a recount? Mr Demjanov refused to say, but when asked who was the winner he did not hesitate before answering: 'Hillary won. She stayed correct after four shots. And John McCain too.'"

Do you know how much, and how often, and how long, a little woman has to drink hard liquor in order to still appear sober after four shots of vodka?  That is a classic sign of daily drinking that starts every morning. A sign of going through life in a near-constant alcoholic haze.

The Telegraph continues:

"Mr Demjanov spoke briefly to the BBC after Terry McAuliffe, Mrs Clinton's campaign manager, said in an interview that Mrs Clinton had 'beaten' Mr McCain in the drinking contest.

"He said: 'She loves to sit, throw 'em back. We all hear about the story that she and John McCain actually had a shot contest, I think in the Ukraine or somewhere around the world. And she actually beat John McCain in a shot contest. She's a girl from Illinois who likes to throw 'em down with the rest of us.'

"Mr McCain's 'people' were rather less forthcoming, saying their man had been for a few drinks with Mrs Clinton but denying a contest.

"Quite why Mr McAuliffe chose to reveal the story at such a crucial time in the Democratic campaign is unclear, but tales of hard drinking rarely turn out to be vote winners.

"William Hague famously bragged about how he had been able to drink 14 pints of bitter a day as a teenager, before he lost to a Labour landslide in the 2001 general election.
And Charles Kennedy stepped down as leader of the Liberal Democrats in 2006 under pressure from his own party after admitting to having a drink problem."

CBS News reporter Fernando Suarez reported Hillary Clinton drinking Crown Royal at an Indiana bar in 2008. He was kind, talking about "the glass mug she waved in the air so proudly as
the crowd chanted her name. " But The Spectator called it "an excruciatingly embarrassing scene".

In 2012 while Secretary of State, her barroom antics in Columbia for the "Summit of the Americas" resulted in a New York Post front page headline "Swillary".  "Secretary of PARTYING" was the tagline used by the celebrity news website TMZ.

And Mediate reported:  "Across the pond, a blog post in the London Telegraph asked if Clinton is “becoming an embarrassment” as Secretary of State. As some reports note, Cafe Havana’s about as close to Cuba as Clinton will be getting any time soon."

During the 2015 primary campaign, Hillary's  staff apparently wanted to show of her "fun" side, and used her drinking as proof. One of her former advisors-turned-CNN-commentator, Patti Solis Doyle spent most of 2015 chatting about how much fun Hillary is to drink with, pointing out in her very first article:

"So, do you want to have a beer with Hillary? Having worked for her for more than 17 years, I've had a beer (or two) with her and I can tell you it is a hell of a lot of fun. "

She later repeated her talking points to Bloomberg and Politico reporters in a HuffPo Live round table, noting that Hillary prefers "wine and vodka".

The Free Beacon, bemused by Sollis Doyle's insistence on stating the obvious, noted:

"New York Times reporter Amy Chozick would likely corroborate Solis Doyle’s claims. The journalist, who covers Clinton, told ABC News in a February interview ahead of Clinton’s official campaign launch, 

“She likes to drink. We were on the campaign trail in 2008 and the press thought she was just taking shots to pander to voters in Pennsylvania.”

“Um, no,” Chozick continued."

Esther Goldberg, in the American Spectator article "We Need To Talk About Hillary Clinton - 
A party girl who’s a saloon series all by herself.",  gives a compassionate history of Hillary's drinking, and observes that  Hillary's  "health has manifestly been destroyed by alcohol "  and people who should care about her enough to intervene, instead suggest she "should drink even more."  

Goldberg winds up with a modern parable about the dangers of pretending all is well, and finishes:

" There’s a lot of rationalization, but the matter is never discussed.

"We live in a society where there are things we don’t talk about, important things. We tell ourselves, or we are told, how “capable” and “steady” Hillary Clinton is, though she’s proved herself to be the opposite and getting worse every day.

"Who knows what tragedy a Clinton presidency will bring down upon the world the country and the world?

"We really do need to talk about Hillary Clinton, but not now. Another time."

I've touted Donald Trump's clean life style and freedom from addiction issues  for the entire campaign. So has he, and have others. But the media, the Republican Party, doctrine-absorbed Christians who should find abstinence from alcohol a singular reason to champion him, have all ignored this element of character in Mr Trump, and the critical character flaw that alcohol use represents in Hillary Clinton.

So: if not now... when?  

Whether Hillary Clinton has a drinking problem, or 'just likes to party', it is clear from her own staff and friendly media that she drinks hard liquor, and that she drinks frequently.

Are Americans really willing to risk having a drunk President when "that 3 am phone call comes in"?

"Fate Of The World": Bernie Sanders' Supporters Can Help Save The World From Hillary Clinton's War-Mongering

"President Obama claims "The fate of the world is teetering."

I hope that Bernie Sanders' supporters will consider voting for Mr Donald Trump, or for one of the other genuine candidates such as Jill Stein. This election should have been between Senator Sanders and Mr Trump, but the elites conspired with Hillary against Bernie, just as on the Republican side our own party is still trying to stop Donald. I have friends who voted for Bernie, and I think we have in common the deep understanding that America needs new leadership that will represent people instead of "donors".  While we may disagree on some policies, we come together on others, and we absolutely share the same urgency to stop the corruption in government (in both parties) and extract America from the careless war-adventuring that is causing such anguish.

 Both Bernie and Donald share a goal to get America out of the FIVE foreign wars that Hillary is lurching to expand and escalate. Both also share the goal to take care of Americans (see Donald's position papers on his website - the media ignores them, but he has good positions on all issues facing our nation and people).

 Donald Sensing writes on his blog:

"President Obama claims "The fate of the world is teetering." Well, Green Party candidate Jill Stein would certainly agree. She said a few weeks ago that a President Hillary Clinton will just continue to attack and bomb other countries: " Under Hillary Clinton, we could slide into nuclear war very quickly from her declared policy in Syria."

"Even the UK's The Independent chimed in: "Could Hillary Clinton start a World War? Sure as [snip] she could – and here’s how." 

"And then there is this: "Don't trust Clinton to avoid stupid wars: The world she had a big hand in making as secretary of State doesn't look very peaceful." In 2010, things in Iraq were so peaceful that Joe Biden was bragging that the administration’s Iraq policy would be “one of the great achievements of this administration.” In 2012, with Clinton still serving as secretary of State, President Obama bragged about “ending” the war in Iraq, which would be news to the thousands of U.S. troops fighting there today. 

"Then there’s Libya. According to The New York Times, Clinton played a "critical” role in persuading Obama to topple Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi. This led to what The Atlantic''s Conor Friedersdorf calls her ”failed war in Libya.”

"The fate of the world may indeed be teetering, just as Obama says, but it is teetering all the more because of the last eight years of his administration and very much because of Hillary Clinton's role in it."

The disaster that is Syria is almost wholly on Clinton's shoulders.  In 2012, Hillary Clinton turned her wargaming on Syria, angrily "predicting" that "a coup would take down Assad" after she failed to get UN support for the Islamist rebels, and setting out to make it happen with a plan for the US to arm and train them anyway "with help from a neighboring state", and despite a dire warning from Henry Kissinger "that an intervention [in Syria] would imperil the foundation of world order." 

Which, we now see, it has done.

Please vote. There are three other candidates to vote for, and your vote for any one of them is a vote against corruption, against criminals in high places, and against Hillary Clinton's terrifying bad judgment.

The Women's Wars: How "Smart Girl Power" Has Wrecked The World, and May Have Started WWIII

We used to hear about how peaceful the world would be "if women ran the world".

Over the past 20 years, we've had a chance to find out what happens when the people at the helm of policy and warmaking for the West are women.

The verdict? Persistent, brutal, genocidal war after war after war. Nations that had been peaceful for a century dissolved into EU/US-women-goaded wars.

The Arab Winter unleashing yet another Islamist jihad of conquest in dozens  of previously stable nations.

Collapse of order on three continents and millions of restless young males on the move, raping and enslaving every woman and child they encounter.

The lands of the Vikings are engaged in a twisted disfunction that allows Moslem men to rape and assault  hundreds of women and children in public places while the authorities cover up the assaults like a neurotic woman hiding the incest in her house from the neighbors.

Nations that had achieved equality of the sexes are promoting sex-segregated trains, telling women not to go out alone or at night,  to protect women from assault by  "asylum seekers" and "refugees".

Nations that had begun to lift their populace out of the stone age into modernity have fallen back into the pit of tribalism.

The habitual use of cruel and unusual punishments for ordinary human behaviors saw resurgence and spread.

What's that you say? Women didn't cause that! We haven't even had a woman president!

What we have had are women National Security Advisors and Secretaries of State and UN Ambassadors. Women who have driven US Foreign Policy and Military Intervention - often overriding the objections of seasoned generals and terrorism experts -  over the past two decades and across the presidencies of Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Barack Obama.

Hillary Clinton, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Angela Merkel, Condoleza Rice, Madelyn Albright. These are but a few of the women who overthrew settled governments, abetted and funded the wrong side in civil wars and regional wars, who failed to intervene when they should have, and who overrode military minds to meddle in the wrong places at the wrong times in the past 20 years.  Let's take a look at their "legacy":

Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State 2009-2013 

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton oversaw the most hawkish, interventionist... and ineffective foreign policy in American history, perhaps in Western history.  She called it "Smart Power". The destabilization of the Middle East and the surge of Islamist groups like ISIS were a direct result of her 2010 program "Leading Through Civilian Power": "centered on the notion of elevating "civilian power" as a cost-effective way of responding to international challenges and defusing crises.... Clinton said of the underlying message, "Leading with civilians saves lives and money."

One of her first actions, in March 2009, was to override Vice President Biden's objections to sending 20,000 American troops to Afghanistan. 

Hillary Clinton delighted in the success of her initiative when 2011's "Arab Spring" started: "Joseph Massad on Al Jazeera said the term "Arab Spring" was "part of a US strategy of controlling [the ovement's] aims and goals" and directing it towards western-style liberal democracy. Due to the electoral success of Islamist parties following the protests in many Arab countries, the events have also come to be known as "Islamist Spring" or "Islamist Winter"."

"The Hillary Doctrine", a push to make "violence against women" anywhere in the world a national security issue of the US, has been a horrific travesty for the Yazidi women enslaved by the ugly army that evolved from Hillary Clinton's meddlesome use of "Civilian Power", for the Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko Haram, for all of the European women and girls being assaulted on the street by "refugees" unleashed by her adventurous warring.

Hillary is credited, along with Susan Rice and Samantha Power, with convincing Obama to authorize US military intervention in support of the Libyan version of Arab Spring in 2011, a civil war that destabilized West Africa and continues today.  The NYT said of her insistence: "The consequences would be more far-reaching than anyone imagined, leaving Libya a failed state and a terrorist haven". Her extra-legal blundering into military matters without Congressional authorization, in direct violation of the War Powers Act, earned President Obama a rebuke from the US House of Representatives.

Hillary did not argue for military intervention to save her Ambassador in Benghazi. (The US Embassy in Turkey was also bombed during her tenure - on her last day. )

In 2011, Hillary pointed to her "success" in Libya when she aggressively defended Obama's decision to remove our troops from Iraq, a disastrous and foolhardy move.

In 2011, Clinton attempted to apply her "Civilian Power" techniques to foment trouble in Russia. Fortunately, she was not successful in overthrowing Russian's government and her schemes were found out, forcing her to back away:
" Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin denounced Clinton, accusing her of  backing Russian protesters financially and in fact precipitating their actions."

She turned her attention to Syria in 2012, angrily "predicting" that a coup would take down Assad after she failed to get UN support for the Islamist rebels, and setting out to make it happen with a plan for the US to arm and train them anyway "with help from a neighboring state".

Hillary Clinton was one of the strongest proponents of using assassin drones. Although much is still secret,  Washington Post reported in 2011:
"Key members of Obama’s national security team came into office more inclined to endorse drone strikes than were their counterparts under Bush, current and former officials said.
"Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, former CIA director and current Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta, and counterterrorism adviser John O. Brennan seemed always ready to step on the accelerator, said a former official who served in both administrations and was supportive of the 
program. Current administration officials did not dispute the former official’s characterization of the internal dynamics."

Gun-Control freak Hillary Clinton armed many of these terrorists by selling  more than $300Billion in weapons to governments she criticized for human rights violations and failure to combat terrorism (yes, at the same time) during her 3 years. International Busines Times reported:

"Under Clinton's leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, according to an IBTimes analysis of State Department and foundation data. That figure -- derived from the three full fiscal years of Clinton’s term as Secretary of State (from October 2010 to September 2012) -- represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

"The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation, resulting in a 143 percent increase in completed sales to those nations over the same time frame during the Bush administration. 

"These extra sales were part of a broad increase in American military exports that accompanied Obama’s arrival in the White House. The 143 percent increase in U.S. arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors compares to an 80 percent increase in such sales to all countries over the same time period."

And Hillary chose women advisors who are just as unpredictably fast on the war trigger as she is, including Anne-Marie Slaughter:

Anne-Marie Slaughter, Hillary's Director of Policy Planning at the State Department:

"On 26 February 2015, Forbes magazine published a piece which called for Washington policymakers to be held accountable for another war gone bad. 

"Slaughter was singled out for criticism, for her statement that “it clearly can be in the U.S. and the West’s strategic interest to help social revolutions fighting for the values we espouse and proclaim.” Writer Doug Bandow concluded: "... The Obama administration’s greatest foreign policy mistake can’t be undone... When war-happy politicians... next stand before America, voters should hold these pitiful policymakers accountable for the disaster they created in Libya."

She didn't learn. When it came to Syria, Anne-Marie Slaughter also pushed for outside agitators and US military aid to overthrow Syria's established government. When Henry Kissinger "argued that an intervention would imperil the foundation of world order" , Slaughter poo-pooed his warning and increased her efforts to gain public support for giving heavy artillary to "rebels". 

Susan Rice, National Security Council 1993-1997 (Director Peacekeeping 1993-1995, Sr Director African Affairs 1995-1997), UN Ambassador 2009-2013, National Security Advisor (2013-current): 

*Argued against intervention in the Rwandan Genocide, saying "If we use the word 'genocide' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November election?" 

*1997: Allowed Bin Laden to escape. Timothy M. Carney, U.S. ambassador to Sudan, reported in 2002 that "... in 1997 Sudan offered to turn over its intelligence on bin Laden but that [Susan] Rice, as NSC Africa specialist.... successfully lobbied for continuing to bar U.S. officials, including the CIA and FBI, from engaging with the Khartoum government. Similar allegations (that Rice joined others in missing an opportunity to cooperate with Sudan on counterterrorism) were made by Vanity Fair contributing editor David Rose and Richard Miniter, author of Losing Bin Laden."

*Susan Rice  "supported the Rwandan, Ugandan, AFDL and Angolan invasion of Zaire (later known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo) from Rwanda in 1996 and overthrow of dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, saying privately that "Anything's better than Mobutu." ....the [resulting] Congo Wars spearheaded by Rwanda led to over five million deaths. "

*Urged US intervention in Libya to overthrow its legitimate government and remove Gaddafi. "Together with National Security Council figure Samantha Power,.. and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, ...the three overcame internal opposition from Defense Secretary Robert Gates, security adviser Thomas E. Donilon, and counterterrorism adviser John Brennan, to have the 

administration advance a UN proposal to impose a no-fly zone over Libya and authorize other military actions as necessary"

Samantha Power, National Security Counsel (Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights) 2009-2013, UN Ambassador 2013-present

*One of the strongest proponents of US military action in Libya, joining Hillary and Susan Rice in overruling Defense Secretary Robert Gates, security adviser Thomas E. Donilon, and counterterrorism adviser John Brennan, all of whom advised against interferring and destabilizing yet another Middle Eastern country. " American Thinker, a conservative blog, complains that Mr. Obama has “outsourced foreign policy” to Ms. Power."

*2015 - Samantha Power's motorcade ran over a child in an African village at a high rate of speed and did not stop "because it was too dangerous". The little boy was killed instantly. She crept back at 25 MPH later that day, met with the boy's parents and promised "compensation" for the little boy's death. 

*Robert Power wrote: [Susan Power] "...operates with glaring selectivity in deciding who deserves protection as she advances a neocon/liberal interventionist agenda. She is turning “human rights” into an excuse not to resolve conflicts but rather to make them bloodier.

"Thus, in Power’s view, the overthrow and punishment of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad takes precedence over shielding Alawites and other minorities from the likely consequence of Sunni-extremist vengeance. And she has sided with the ethnic Ukrainians in their slaughter of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine.

"In both cases, Power spurns pragmatic negotiations that could avert worsening violence as she asserts a black-and-white depiction of these crises. More significantly, her strident positions appear to have won the day with President Barack Obama, who has relied on Power as a foreign policy adviser since his 2008 campaign."

in Yemen" for funding Saudi Arabia's war there: "In the case of Yemen, however, the genocide is not happening due to the mere omissions of the West, and in particular the U.S. — rather, it is taking place with the active support of the U.S., including [Samantha Power’s] own intervention at the U.N. which prevented any independent investigation of the Saudi crimes in Yemen." 

Even the UN has found the Saudi-led "Coalition" is responsible for most attacks on Yemeni civilians. 

Another article notes   the US is helping fund and arm Saudi aggression against religious minorities: Zaydis and Houthis, branches of Shia Islam. Dan Kolvik writes: " the coalition is attacking and starving out the north while allowing humanitarian aid to the south (where members of the Sunni group known as Shafi’ists predominate)."

*Wall Street Journal has called on Power to resign because of the horrible mess her wrong-sided policies have made in Syria. "Susan Power is guilty of exactly the same negligence toward the Syrian civil war that she once criticized when the Clinton administration failed to intervene in the 

Rwandan genocide, and should resign, the Wall Street Journal said in an editorial Friday. ... The Journal concludes that “Power has become an echo of the officials she once denounced for justifying American inaction in the face of mass slaughter. The honorable decision would be to resign.” 

"Breitbart News urged Power to resign in 2013, when she was still a national security adviser at the White House, in charge of a useless committee called the Atrocities Prevention Board that did nothing about Syria."

* Consortium News reports:" It turns out that Gaddafi was not wrong about some of his enemies. Today, Power is a leading force opposing meaningful negotiations over Syria and Ukraine, again staking out “moralistic” positions rejecting possible power-sharing with Assad in Syria and blaming the Ukraine crisis entirely on the Russians. She doesn’t seem all that concerned about impending genocides against Assad’s supporters in Syria or ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine.

"In 2012, at a meeting hosted by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, former U.S. Ambassador Peter W. Galbraith predicted “the next genocide in the world will likely be against the Alawites in Syria” — a key constituency behind Assad’s secular regime. But Power has continued to insist that the top priority is Assad’s removal."

* Ukraine: "Similarly, Power has shown little sympathy for members of Ukraine’s ethnic Russian minority who saw their elected President Viktor Yanukovych overthrown in a Feb. 22, 2014 coup spearheaded by neo-Nazis and other right-wing nationalists who had gained effective control of the Maidan protests. Many of these extremists want an ethnically pure Ukrainian state.

"Since then, neo-Nazi units, such as the Azov battalion, have been Kiev’s tip of the spear in slaughtering thousands of ethnic Russians in the east and driving millions from their homes, essentially an ethnic-cleansing campaign in eastern Ukraine. Yet, Power traveled to Kiev to deliver a one-sided propaganda speech on June 11, portraying the post-coup Ukrainian regime simply as a victim of “Russian aggression.”

"Despite the key role of neo-Nazis acknowledged even by the U.S. House of Representatives Power uttered not one word about Ukrainian military abuses which have included reports of death squad operations targeting ethnic Russians and other Yanukovych supporters."

Condoleza Rice: National Security Advisor 2001-2005, Secretary of State 2005-2009:

* July 10, 2001, Emergency briefing on immanent risk of Al Qaeda attack, held at request of CIA Director George Tenet.   August 6, 2001, President's Daily Brief "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US" Yet, on Sept 11, 2001, she had prepared a security plan that downplayed any threats from "non-state actors". 

* Approved of "Enhanced Interrogation Techiniques":  "on July 17, 2002, Rice met with CIA director George Tenet to personally convey... administration's approval of the proposed waterboarding" "The Senate report also "suggests Miss Rice played a more significant role than she acknowledged in written testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee submitted in the autumn"

* 2003: Actively lobbied the public to support US invasion of Iraq, claiming Saddam had atomic weapons.

*Senator Byrd argued against appointing her as Sec State because her " view of America is one which encourages our Nation to flex its muscles without being bound by any calls for restraint " and further said: 

"...where in the Constitution can the President claim the right to strike at another nation before it has even threatened our country, as Dr. Rice asserted in that speech?  To put it plainly, Dr. Rice has asserted that the President holds far more of the war power than the Constitution grants him.

"This doctrine of attacking countries before a threat has "fully materialized" was put into motion as soon as the National Security Strategy was released.  Beginning in September 2002, Dr. Rice also took a position on the front lines of the Administration's effort to hype the danger of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.

"Dr. Rice is responsible for some of the most overblown rhetoric that the Administration used to scare the American people into believing that there was an imminent threat from Iraq..."

Madeleine Albright, UN Ambassador 1993-1997,Secretary of State 1997-2001:

*UN Ambassador during Rwandan Genocide. Reported to have "avoided describing the killings in Rwanda as "genocide" until overwhelmed by the evidence for it." but she has written "My deepest regret from my years in public service is the failure of the United States and the international community to act sooner to halt these crimes."

* "According to Albright's memoirs, she once argued with Colin Powell for the use of military force by asking, "What's the point of you saving this superb military for, Colin, if we can't use it?" 

* Albright and her State Department ignored direct requests for more security at US Nairobi Embassy before it and the Tanzanian Embassy were bombed in 1998  by an Osama bin Laden group, killing more than 200 people, including 12 Americans, despite multiple CIA reports over the previous year of plans by Islamists to blow up the Embassy. The New York Times reported: 

" In the spring of 1998, Prudence Bushnell, the U.S. ambassador to Kenya, sent an emotional letter to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright begging for the secretary's personal help.

"Ms. Bushnell, a career diplomat, had been fighting for months for a more secure embassy in the face of mounting terrorist threats and a warning that she was the target of an assassination plot. The department had repeatedly refused to grant her request, citing a lack of money. But that kind of 

response, she wrote Albright, was "endangering the lives of embassy personnel."

"The CIA and the FBI had been amassing increasingly ominous and detailed clues about potential threats in Kenya, officials said. But the State Department bureaucracy still dismissed Ms. Bushnell. She was even seen by some at the State Department as a nuisance who was overly obsessed with 

security, according to one official.

"Albright took no action. And three months later, on Aug. 7, the American Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya were simultaneously attacked with car bombs. Twelve American diplomats and more than 200 Africans were killed in Kenya."

*Promoted US backing of Kosovo Moslem Albanians' notorious KLA against Serbian Christian minorities, and NATO bombing in 1999 Yugoslavian civil war, despite the Islamic Albanians' 20 year pogram of ethnic cleansing and war crimes against Serbs, crimes that included organ harvesting. After Independence, Kosovo became an organized crime house of horrors, a center for black market organ trafficking that continues today.

"57,000 Serbs have left Kosovo in the last decade" due to murder, rape and persecution [by the Kosovo Albanian government and citizenry]" – wrote the New York Times in 1982. Slobodan Milosevic gained political power by pledging to discontinue this repression." "During the Kosovo War, over 90,000 Serbian and other non-Albanian refugees fled the war-torn province. In the days after the Yugoslav Army withdrew, over 200,000 Serb and other non-Albanians were forced from the province by Kosovo Albanians"

"The Serbian government and a number of international human rights groups (e.g., Amnesty International) claimed that NATO had carried out war crimes by bombing civilians."

And these events and women are only the tip of the iceberg. 

Margaret Mead observed ""I do not believe in using women in combat, because females are too fierce."  She wasn't kidding. As she later elaborated:

"We know of no comparable ways of training women and girls, and we have no real way of knowing whether the kinds of training that teach men both courage and restraint would be adaptable to women or effective in a crisis. But the evidence of history and comparative studies of other species suggest that women as a fighting body might be far less amenable to the rules that prevent warfare from becoming a massacre and, with the use of modern weapons, that protect the survival of all humanity. This is what I meant by saying that women in combat might be too fierce."

US women as leaders have shown themselves dangerously willing to take world-changing risks on their own whims, pushing their influence while ignoring wisdom from seasoned warriors. 

And the consequences of their naive gaming has been unmitigated disaster. 

Hillary Clinton, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Angela Merkel, Condoleza Rice, Madelyn Albright.... have unleashed the massacre. 

Want a "Godly Leader"? Remember King Cyrus, and Vote For Donald Trump

Want a "Godly leader"? Remember King Cyrus, who GOD anointed to rebuild the temple and free God's people, even though Cyrus did not know God. Cyrus was a BUILDER.

Mr Trump is a builder who does not need the "pay" of the office. Mr Trump is a "type" of Cyrus: a man called by our Father God "for such a time as this", when American citizens are made exiles in our own country.

God said: "I will stir up Cyrus and help him win his battles. I will make all his roads straight. He will rebuild Jerusalem. My people have been taken away from their country. But he will set them free. I will not pay him to do it. He will not receive a reward for it,” says the Lord who rules over all. " Isaiah 45:13

Mr Trump is even getting the opposition that the original Cyrus got!

" Then the [adversaries to rebuilding] discouraged the people of Judah, and made them afraid to build, and they bribed officials to frustrate their plan throughout the reign of King Cyrus of Persia and until the reign of King Darius of Persia. ... they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem." Ezra 4: 4-6

So no matter what False Witness (violation of the 9th Commandment) you hear, remember Isaiah 44, and take heart!

“This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: "I am the Lord, the Maker of all things....
who foils the signs of false prophets [political analysts] and makes fools of diviners [polling companies],
who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense,
who carries out the words of his servants and fulfills the predictions of his messengers, ....
who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd and will accomplish all that I please; he will say of Jerusalem, “Let it be rebuilt,” and of the temple, “Let its foundations be laid.”’            Isaiah 44:24-26, 28

Here is a list of the dozens of Bible references to King Cyrus.  Just as Israel needed a leader to authorize them to rebuild their own country, so do we today. And just as our Creator God gave them that leader, so we today have the opportunity to elect a "type" of Cyrus: Mr Donald J Trump, whose proven leadership will enable us to make the repairs to our nation, our infrastructure, our systems, and our right to self determination that America needs.

Donald Trump, Winged Horses, and The Folly Of Trying To Make Everyone "Nice"

C.S. Lewis, in "Mere Christianity", has something to say to Christians about judging people by their perceived public "niceness". Those who support Mr Donald Trump for President understand this very well.  We are eager to let our winged horse grow his wings and bring America to great new heights.

    ".....we must not suppose that even if we succeeded in making everyone nice we should have saved their souls. A world of nice people, content in their own niceness, looking no further, turned away from God, would be just as desperately in need of salvation as a miserable world—and might even be more difficult to save.

"For mere improvement is not redemption, though redemption always improves people even here and now and will, in the end, improve them to a degree we cannot yet imagine. God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man. It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature. Of course, once it has got its wings, it will soar over fences which could never have been jumped and thus beat the natural horse at its own game. 

"But there may be a period, while the wings are just beginning to grow, when it cannot do so: and at that stage the lumps on the shoulders—no one could tell by looking at them that they are going to be wings—may even give it an awkward appearance."

QOTD for Oct 11, 2016: Keith Koffler, on Selfishness in Politics

QOTD from Keith Koffler, White House Correspondent, on his blog "White House Dossier" in the article "The Selfishness of Republicans Too Good for Trump":

"Our service members in uniform go risk their lives every day for causes and presidents they do not necessarily support. They don’t choose to fight World War II for Roosevelt, or to not to fight at all, if they are assigned to fight in Iraq for Barack Obama. They go all out and fight to win, even if it hurts their feelings. Or worse.

"Is it too much to ask of Republican political and thought leaders that they make a decision about what will benefit the country, instead of what benefits themselves?"
