North Korea

North Korea continues its bellicose rhetoric thinking it can defy international standards of order. Following continued statements throughout the week, North Korea today moved a long range missile to its east coast. This missile may have the range to reach the west coast of the United States.

President Obama's response to date has been extremely measured. A series of military exercises have been ongoing on the Korean peninsula conducted in conjunction with out South Korean allies. In response to Kim Jung Un's saber rattling, the United States has sent in two B2 Stealth bombers that dropped inert munitions on a training range on an island off South Korea, moved two destroyers into the region and transferred two F-22 Stealth fighters to a base in South Korea.

The Administration has also spoken of moving an offshore anti-missile platform into the region and beefing up anti-missile missiles in Alaska and Guam. But combined with the continued warmongering by North Korea which has upped the ante by positioning a long range missile on its east coast, the United States must in like turn up the ante.

Continued posturing by the current Administration is no longer enough to indicate to North Korea the resolve of the United States. Additional measures that North Korea can clearly understand must be initiated immediately in order to quell North Korea's bloodthirst for war.

The following actions must be immediately taken by the United States:

1. Move a carrier battle group into the region.
2. Move at least 1 and possibly up to 3 amphibious groups into the region.
3. Move a squadron of F-22 Stealth fighters to South Korea.
4. Move a squadron of F-35 Stealth fighters into the region.
5. Accelerate the trials of the F-37 naval Stealth fighter.
6. Open the current wargames to participation by the 82nd Airborne.
7. Open the current wargames to participation by the 101st Air Assault.
8. Announce to North Korea that all talks between the U.S. and North Korea are on hold until North Korea terminates its wartalk and saber rattling.
9. Announce to North Korea that the United States has opened talks with Mongolia, Russia and China to preposition interceptor missiles manned by American military personnel on their territory.
10. Move three guided missile and four attack submarines into the region.
11. Announce that the current wargames with South Korea will be extended by one month.
12. Announce to North Korea that all these actions are solely in response to North Korean actions over the last several weeks.
13. Announce to North Korea that these actions are irrevocable and that these forces will be removed only after a 90 day period of time in which the rhetoric and actions from North Korea maintain acceptable international standards of order.
14. The American President will go on TV to announce to the American people publicly the steps taken in 1 - 8 above and 10 - 13 above and reiterate that these measures are appropriate and responsible and taken only in response to the continuing threats to the United States and its allies by North Korea and that these measures will be reversed only when North Korea can demonstrate that it is a responsible member of the international community.

Obama, the Pope and the Ice Sculpture in Jerusalem

Obama is due to arrive in Jerusalem on March 20, according to local Israeli newspapers. At the top of the President's agenda is to convince (confirm?) Prime Minister Netanyahu that the US is serious about preventing Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. Is this "And he will confirm a covenant with many." - Daniel 9:27?

On the second day of Obama's visit, at precisely noon time, Obama will visit a model of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period.

Israel is also featuring an Ice Festival during the months of March and April. Although it is unclear if Obama will visit, a sculpture has been constructed in his image. Revelation 13:15 - "The second beast (the Pope?) was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed."

According to the prophecy of Saint Malachy written in 1138 A.D. St. Malachy stated there would be 112 popes of the Roman Catholic Church. St. Malachy did not assign names to these popes, but rather he described them in a descriptive manner. Pope number 111 he described as being of the olives or somehow being connected to olives. To some of his friends, Pope Benedict - who has recently resigned - was known as the Olivet Pope. Pope Benedict was also pope number 111.

Saint Malachy did make one exception in his descriptions of the future Popes of the Catholic Church. He said the final Pope, Pope number 112, would be a black man whom he named Peter of Rome.

Revelation 8:1, "When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour." On February 3, 2013, the Superbowl was played between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49er's. About a minute and a half into the third quarter following a 109 yard punt return by Jacoby Jones, the lights went out in the stadium. After about half an hour (34 minutes) the lights came on again. I have heard, and I tend to agree, that this period of about half an hour is symbolic of Revelation 8:1.

The second half of this game was also totally different than the first half. Although the Ravens held off the attack by San Francisco, the game was a much different game in the second half than it was during the first half. I believe this is also God's way of saying that the next three and a half years will be totally different than the last three and a half years.

A couple of years ago while sitting in church on a Sunday morning, I suddenly felt the impression to write something. I grabbed a church bulletin and on the back of it I wrote, "Within the next five days, the world will have changed." Five days later, the Arab Spring began.

I have that sane feeling again. But this time, I have this feeling: Within the next ten days, the world will have changed.

God is coming, Jesus will be here soon, I am ready to meet my maker (can;t wait in fact) are you ready?

Focusing On Solutions

Frankly, I really don't care what you think; I don't focus on the problem, I focus on the solutions. In my possible run for US Senate, it won't be my job to make you happy; it is my job to be honest. I know I don't have the answers to all the questions, but I know I will ask you for your help. I can't say I will accept your advice, but I do promise to listen. I won't be politically correct, I'll call it as I see it. In my search for answers, I will find the truth and seek to implement it, regardless of where that takes me. I expect the same of you.

Is America Falling Into Slavery?

“Every nation that has ended in tyranny has come to that end by way of good order. It certainly does not follow from this that peoples should scorn public peace, but neither should they be satisfied with that and nothing more. A nation that asks nothing of government but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart; it is a slave of its well-being, ready for the man who will put it in chains.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville

Capitalist Perfection

My belief is that capitalism is a near-perfect system, if all parties involved adhere to the moral principles and values of a sovereign God. Failing that, capitalism slowly devolves into a system of greed, power and wealth. That is what we see today in the US and it is observable in all nations that do not closely follow Christian principles.

Now that the US is no longer a Christian nation - regardless of what Sunday preachers or televangelists may claim - just look around for proof - a postcapitalist system must be implemented which is fundamentally different than the capitalism that built this nation. It must be fair, equalitarian (equal opportunity for all but not equal results for all) and adhere to principles which both theists and atheists can agree to. This postcapitalist system must also be open, transparent and comprehensive. Tax rates must be reduced, regulations loosened or eliminated, the Fed, IRS, DHS and Dept of Energy disbanded. Education must also be restructured. A charter school in Yuma, AZ seems to have a grasp of what is required. Rather than classrooms, students sit in cubicles. Lessons and course are available on the computers within each cubicle and teachers monitor and assist. Students learn by doing rather than by rote. And they learn at their own pace. This is just one method which seems to be working. The only thing I would change is for the students who have mastered the material to help those who have not.
