And OPINION

===INTERNATIONAL

RUSSIA: Russian Deputy PM laughs at Obama’s Sanctions – We are watching a carefully-scripted drama.  Which doesn’t mean that the drama won’t eventually turn lethal–for a tremendous number of people.

RUSSIA: Russia Facing Escalating Sanctions as EU Foreign Ministers Meet

RUSSIA: Russians Laugh Off Obama’s Sanctions, Taunt Him on Twitter – Are these the actions of a nuclear-powered military super-power or of a cartoonish villain in a Movie of the Week?

RUSSIA: Moscow signals it will annex Crimea quickly – Astute analysis?  What tipped it off?  Was it another photo of a shirtless Vlad Putin’s tearing a Volvo to pieces using only his bare hands?  Or was it another picture of an obviously-effeminate Barack Obama?

ISRAEL: Israel prepares for possible attack by missing Malaysian plane

MALAYSIA: MH 370 flew as low as 1500 meters to avoid detection

MALAYSIA: Two MILLION square miles to be searched, 26 countries involved – and still not a trace of Flight MH370: hunt for the missing plane stretches from Kazakhstan to Southern Ocean   – Why does almost every 24/7 media frenzy involve a story that feels like it was the narrative for a B movie?

===NATIONAL

The Democrat’s Obama Problem – When crowds were chanting “Yes We Can!” it was a media event, driven by the Corporate Media’s relentless branding of Barack Obama in 2007-2008 as the “Cool, Hip, Un-Bush!”  Any “problem” now experienced by the Democrats is also a media event, driven by the Corporate Media’s equally relentless branding of Obama in 2011-2014 as “Mom-Jeans-Wearing President Girly-Pants.”

Obama announces new sanctions on Russia – Obama is doing nothing differently than he did in 2007-2008.  What is different is the media treatment of whatever Obama does.  Even declaring sanctions is presented as the action of a total bumbler.  While there is a segment of the American population that find this characterization of Obama easy to believe (including this writer), Obama is nothing more than what his masters wish him to be at any particular moment.

For this particular moment, Obama is serving as President Lightning Rod or President Scapegoat.  Soon, the anti-Obama for 2016 will emerge.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ”
—2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Perverted Realities

“Lately, I’ve been pondering what kind of world I will be raising my daughter in and how difficult it will be to raise her right. Everywhere you turn, it seems reality is being perverted, and all that is naturally moral is being painted in the worst of lights.
[…]
Sin, depravity, lasciviousness, and immorality are always presented in the best possible light, smiling faces and screaming adolescents happy to be alive and free in the midst of flashing lights and alcohol induced debauchery. Rarely does anyone show the aftereffects and consequences of some of these nights, the vomiting, the passing out in an alley somewhere, the police reports, the rape kits, the aids tests, the bruises, and the emotional scars these all leave behind.“

Doomsday Datesetters 2012 – One bit of research Christians might perform which is extremely easy: check out the archives of those who daily predict doom. See what kind of track record they have.  Almost universally, it’s terrible.

In the case of 2012, many of the datesetters–such as popular writer, Tom Horn–have been consistently wrong for years (in Horn’s case, at least since 2008).  If Horn, et al. were paid on the basis of the accuracy of their predictions, one suspects they would have ceased writing long ago.

There are many who claim to be “Christian prophets” who have abysmal records of accuracy.  In Biblical times, one wrong prediction would have gotten them stoned. The New Testament says to mark the false ones, warn others and avoid them.. [Romans 16:17]

In 2014 America, many professing Christianity hold to much softer, gentler standards.  Instead of stoning or marking, many pew-sitters send donations, buy CDs or books and otherwise support these deceptive “prophets” while proclaiming their deceptive teachings alongside of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Those who contend with the doomsters have a much better record–of which the linked article is but one.

Don’t become the Walking Dead: How Meth can turn you into a Walker – Daily Zombie Link

Voracious Worm Eats Biotech GMO corn engineered to kill it – The original headline claimed that the worm “evolved” to eat the corn that was engineered to kill it.  Was the GMO corn so sloppily engineered or was the worm engineered, rather than evolved?

Battle of the Mind: Strongholds

“The Christian is locked in an intense war. Many of us however, are so interested in fighting an external war with the Devil, that we forget that the most important battle is not with external forces, but within our own mind, heart and thoughts. These verses contain the keys to victory in an area where most Christians are constantly defeated.

Have you ever tried to reason with someone who is obviously wrong (by all standards – not just your own) and realized that you are up against a stone wall? Well, that is exactly what it is. They are strongholds built out of stone. Our arguments against God’s will, His Word and His wisdom become so fortified in our minds that nothing short of a miracle is able to penetrate them.“

It is a sign of the times in which we live that many of those defeated by deception proclaim victory.  Though lip service is given to Jesus or God, somehow it’s the efforts of man which are emphasized.

In such instances, the Christian is advised to pray.
