FAITH UNDER FIRE

CHRISTIAN FESTIVAL CURBED AS CONCESSION TO MUSLIMS

German schools worry about feelings of refugees

Several schools in Germany have canceled an annual Christian celebration named after Saint Martin and replaced it with the more generic and secular “festival of lights” in consideration of the feelings of thousands of Muslims who’ve migrated to the country in recent days.

On top of that, numerous Dusseldorf daycare centers have outright abolished the celebration altogether, due to “consideration for the refugees,” Infowars reported, citing the Epoch Times.

As Pamela Geller reported on her blog, PamelaGeller.com, the notice of name-change has he dispute over the Saint Martin’s festival has been around for some time,” she wrote. “The left[ist] politician Rudiger Sagel struck two years ago … [and said] the festival should … be renamed to ‘sun, moon and stars’-fest.”

In “Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance,” renowned activist Pamela Geller provides the answer, offering proven, practical guidance on how freedom lovers can stop jihadist initiatives in local communities.

She also opined: “These migrants are coming to our countries from failed, devastated cultures. When and why was it decided that we have to mute and censor our traiditons and mores for theirs – a failed society that suffocates and destroys? They are running from devastation and failure; why adopt that?”

Paul Marshall, Lela Gilbert and Nina Shea have collaborated to create “Persecuted: The Global Assault on Christians,” which confirms that groups like Pew Research, Newsweek and The Economist also identify Christians as “the world’s most widely persecuted religious group.”

Infowars reported Sagel also said those in the country “should not impose the Christian tradition,” he said.

The Feast of St. Martin is held on November 11 each year to recognize a Roman soldier who was later baptized and became a monk. He’s known as a patron saint of the poor. The festival has been celebrated as a Christian tradition for decades.

My comments: Germany has abandoned God and His Word. This Invasion of Muslims is the result. These Muslims will prove to be Unending Trouble for Germany until Christ Jesus returns.  

DEFENDING THE WEST

EUROPE: 'ISLAM IS COMING TO TAKE OVER'

Exclusive: Pamela Geller warns Western nations of 'full-blown invasion'

America, take heed.

A Muslim in Germany was caught on video last week saying this to a German man:

Islam is coming to take over Germany whether you want it or not … not through war but by the fact that Germans don’t reproduce and Muslims have seven to eight children each … but not only that, your daughters will marry bearded Muslims and wear the hijab; their sons will wear a beard! The Muslims will have four wives and 27 children, and what does the German man have? One child and maybe a little pet dog! The German has taken advantage of the Muslim for too long, just so he can drive his Mercedes. … Now Islam is coming and your daughters will wear the hijab! Ha! I can see the look of hate in your eyes!

This is a full-blown invasion.

No media coverage, of course, because it’s a “humanitarian crisis,” and that’s how it is being packaged and force-fed to the victimized public. Apparently the numbers that European leaders have been selling to their unsuspecting populations are wrong by at least four million. The latest invasion reflects a truer number of five million, not one million – five million invaders. If that’s not war, what is?

And it's business. The social and migration industry is big business – the NGOs, resettlement organizations, social workers, etc. Just like here in America. Refugee resettlement is big business.

Last week, I reported that Germans lost their jobs at the four-star Hotel Maritim so that it could house Muslim migrants. The workers and shop owners in this hotel, some of whom had worked there for more than 25 years, were told a few weeks ago that they would no longer have jobs, because the hotel would be converted into migrant housing.

That was just the beginning. Next on the chopping block (no pun intended) is the Ramada Hotel Frankfurt/Oder in Germany and the Lapland Ski Complex in Sweden.

Nothing is sacred. They are moving Germans out of their homes to accommodate the invaders. They are housing the migrants at Buchenwald and Dachau. And with children at youth hostels. And now, despite the ongoing harassment of and violence against Middle Eastern Christians by Muslim migrants, these very same migrants are being moved into churches, which necessitates the removal of the altar, the pulpit and the seats.

Will the churches who take in these migrants vet the Muslims who took part in the genocide of Christians in the Middle East?

German politician Brigitte Meier summed up the situation by saying, "We cannot guarantee the public safety anymore." 

And in Sweden, according to the notoriously pro-Islamic RT, "a leading Swedish politician says the country is facing a refugee catastrophe, which will lead to the 'country collapsing.' The bold claims were made by Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom, who adds the E.U. needs to do more to take the strain off Stockholm." The question is, when are they going to stop talking and actually do something to stop it?

Some European countries are trying to stem the tide. Breitbart reported that Austria Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner "has called for 'a fortress Europe' to protect the European Union (EU)." Austria is now building a fence on the Slovene border, the same solution for which its chancellor called Hungary Nazi. Slovenia is constructing its fence on the Croat border. And now Europeans are arming themselves: There has been a rush of shotgun purchases in Austria.

Meanwhile, the BBC reported Friday that "tens of thousands of life jackets abandoned on the Greek island of Lesbos by migrants have been described as an 'ecological timebomb.' Authorities on the island say they do not have the capacity to dispose of the safety vests while local fisherman say they cannot fish because of the pollution. More than 700,000 refugees and migrants have made their way across the Mediterranean to Europe this year."

As if Greece could afford this. The migrants have destroyed Lesbos. The continent is in meltdown, and the BBC is hand-wringing about the bad ecology karma of the life jackets.

Where are they going from Lesbos? Into northern Europe, particularly Germany. But then large numbers of them are vanishing. Earlier this week, I reported that refugee camps had begun to report that Muslims were disappearing – running off. Nobody knows where to.

This is now spreading to other camps. It has become an epidemic. Approximately 7,000 migrants have left the Brandenburg shelters. Where are they going? Who is sheltering these illegals, many with ties to ISIS?

Die Welt is reporting this: "'They are simply not there anymore' – daily many refugees disappear from the first reception facilities without giving notice. This is a serious problem for the authorities."

I have seen the future, brother; it is murder. Do people understand what is happening? Town by town, village by village, Europe is being swallowed whole. Do these people know what is actually happening to them, their cities, their countries? Their only option will come down to civil war.

If there were ever a cautionary tale for America's enemies of freedom and the Second Amendment, this is it.

My comments: Europe and America have Abandoned God and His Word and are now completely vulnerable to anything Satan delivers. They are Grossly, Spiritually IGNORANT of Islam and its Demonic Nature.

WND EXCLUSIVE

OBAMA'S RAGE FUELING IRAN DEAL, FORENSIC PROFILER SAYS

'Staggering image reveals plans to threaten world by changing nuclear bomb climate'

Bob Unruh

President Obama is revealing, through his Iran deal, a “destructive rage beyond belief” that should be alarming to the world because of its implication for the balance of nuclear-weapons power, according to a forensic profiler whose work includes the double-murder case against O.J. Simpson and the Natalie Holloway disappearance.

Andrew G. Hodges, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice, in a response to WND, cited Obama’s recent description of himself as an “uncaged bear” and his statement there’s “no telling what I might do.”

“He warns us he’s slipping mentally – his judgment impaired,” Hodges said.

Hodges, author of “The Obama Confession: Secret Fear. Secret Fury” and a new book, “As Done Unto You,” about the Amanda Knox case, previously was assistant clinical professor psychiatry at the University of Alabama School of Medicine.

He has helped pioneer work on the brilliant unconscious mind, which he explained in his 1994 book, “The Deeper Intelligence.”

He teaches that by accessing and interpreting messages from a person’s “unconscious super intelligence,” he can uncover confessions as well as motives for crimes.

Wonder why Barack Obama does what he does? Andrew G. Hodges, a psychiatrist who specializes in forensic profiling, may have the answer, in “The Obama Confession: Secret Fear. Secret Fury.”

And Obama is revealing that he’s not exactly clinically deranged, but he’s not altogether stable, and the nuclear deal with Iran ultimately will threaten the world by giving the rogue regime access to nuclear bombs.

“Secretly his super-intel confesses, ‘I am the biggest threat to the world. I am the climate change that can eliminate us all,’” Hodges said.

Hodges explains Obama uses “three basic psycholinguistic maneuvers, all unconscious: denial, projection and use of key images which reflect his true intent.”

“Secretly his words tell us about his true psyche deep down.”

He cites a 2014 speech by Obama in which “he secretly confessed to hidden attacks on America driven by a deep inner madness.”

“Not a clinical madness but a ‘near madness’ – the disturbance of a secretly angry traumatized leader,” Hodges said.

Obama, noted Hodges, said Republican inaction “drives you nuts … and it drives me nuts.”

After mentioning the Republicans’ frustrating “inaction,” Obama added: “They’re [Republicans] not doing anything – and they’re mad.”

Hodges said that unconsciously, Obama is “telling us that his own famous ‘inaction’ represents secret madness and escalating passive-aggression.”

“In short, Obama was projecting his inner turmoil and disguised rage onto Republicans,” Hodges said.

Another comment furthered the message, Hodges wrote.

“Remember, things said in jest are ideal for true super-intel confessions. Obama said, ‘With Secret Service, I always tease them, I’m like a caged bear and sometimes I break loose. And I’m feeling super loose today, so you don’t know what I might do.’”

“He is increasingly out of control – ‘super loose’ indeed,” Hodges wrote.

“Madness in the Oval Office guiding the nation is eerily reminiscent of his ‘uncaged bear’ self-image. His flippant comment, ‘no telling what I might do,’ implies the same complete loss of judgment. His imagery depicts destructive rage beyond belief. What the world has always feared – a near-madman at the controls of a nuclear bomb appearing rational on the surface.”

WND reported when Hodges suggested Obama was “slipping mentally.”

“Not madness such as total loss of control mentally, but more and more drastic behavior seen in disturbed traumatized leaders,” Hodges said at the time.

Hodges, who previously suggested Obama was revealing alarming ideas about martial law and described how the president wants “total gun control,” also has addressed Obama’s opinions on election fraud, how he’s driven by revenge and his ideas about martial law.

Wonder why Barack Obama does what he does? Andrew G. Hodges, a psychiatrist who specializes in forensic profiling, may have the answer, in “The Obama Confession: Secret Fear. Secret Fury.”

The next message from Obama is about climate change, Hodges said.

Obama stated just this year: “No challenge – no challenge – poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change. Twenty-fourteen was the planet’s warmest year on record.

“Add one word and you have his secret confession, ‘[nuclear] climate change greatest threat to future generations’ which fits perfectly with that pact. It’s the ‘Iran deal stupid’ he’s unconsciously talking about. His super-intel sees the truth as he warns the world, not just America, that the Iran deal changes the nuclear climate in an unimaginably dangerous way. Deep down, he knows in a flash it’s utterly foolish and Iran can’t be trusted.

“Unconsciously, Obama’s staggering image reveals he plans to threaten the entire world by changing the nuclear bomb climate – giving into Iranian demands,” Hodges explained.

Then he referred to the complexity of negotiations with Iran.

“Obama noted, ‘It’s a complicated piece of business … negotiating with a regime that chants ‘Death to America!’ But the people who know most about the central challenge … which is making sure that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon, they are overwhelmingly in favor of it .’”

“Read through the denial,” Hodges said. “Obama’s blatant denial confession reveals the truth about the deal he favors, ‘making sure that Iran gets a nuclear weapon.’”

Hodges continued: “Next Obama takes us specifically to his mental functioning. In a familiar projection, he accuses Republicans critical of the nuclear agreement of ‘selling a fantasy’ to the American people. Obama’s super-intel confesses his fantasy that Iran’s not dangerous and the deal’s safe.

“Frighteningly he’s that far out of touch with himself. He constantly rationalizes his secret passive-aggressive attacks driven by deep unconscious fears of being attacked himself,” Hodges said.

“In his conscious mind Obama sees the Iran deal as living up to his Nobel Peace Prize. His super intelligence declares this is the greatest misnomer in history. No single person has ever threatened the world in such a way,” he said.

Hodges is not new to the field, already having identified killers by studying ransom notes, emails, letters and police interviews to spot secret confessions. He decoded Simpson’s “suicide note” to reveal Simpson’s links to a double murder. He deciphered the JonBenet Ramsey ransom note in Boulder, Colorado, to identify the child’s killer. He studied statements by Joran van der Sloot and Deepak Kalpoe to tie them to the slaying of Holloway. He claims Casey Anthony secretly confessed to killing her daughter in 200 letters written to a jail mate. He even decoded Bill Clinton’s comments about Monica Lewinsky.

My comments: What is missing in Hodges analysis is the Supernatural; the distinct possibility that Obama is Demonically Possessed. There are few things Satan would like more than a Nuclear Iran, Nuking Israel and America, which is exactly what Obama has enabled. In fact all who do not belong to Chrsit Jesus are controlled by Satan. However, unlike Obama, not every Demonically controlled person is President of the US and Hates America.

U.N. PLANNING COURT TO JUDGE U.S. FOR 'CLIMATE JUSTICE'

Stealth agenda to issue rulings on debt, finance, tech transfers

Leo Hohmann

At the upcoming United Nations Climate Summit in Paris, participating nations have prepared a treaty that would create an “International Tribunal of Climate Justice” giving Third World countries the power to haul the U.S. into a global court with enforcement powers.

Congress would be bypassed – left out in the cold – by this climate deal, critics say.

Policies once left to sovereign nations could be turned over to a U.N. body if the U.S. and its allies approve the proposed deal in Paris during the summit scheduled for Nov. 30-Dec. 11.

What do YOU think? Should the U.N.’s climate tribunal have power over U.S.? Sound off in today’s WND poll.

According to the proposed draft text of the climate treaty, the tribunal would take up issues such as “climate justice,” “climate finance,” “technology transfers,” and “climate debt.”

Buried on page 19 of the 34-page document is the critical text – still heavily bracketed with text that hasn’t been completely resolved and agreed upon – reads:

[An International Tribunal of Climate Justice as][A] [compliance mechanism] is hereby established to address cases of non-compliance of the commitments of developed country Parties on mitigation, adaptation, [provision of] finance, technology development and transfer [and][,] capacity-building[,] and transparency of action and support, including through the development of an indicative list of consequences, taking into account the cause, type, degree and frequency of non-compliance.

The U.N. held a preparatory conference in September in Bonn, Germany, that drafted language to be approved at the upcoming Paris climate summit. At the Bonn meeting the U.N. brought together more than 2,000 participants from governments, observer organizations and the media.

But none of those media chose to report on the proposed new global tribunal.

The Paris Conference is mandated to adopt “a protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with legal force under the Convention applicable to all parties,” which is to come into force in 2020, according to IISD Reporting Services, which tracks the global sustainable development movement.

Like many initiatives that come out of the U.N., there has been a media blackout on coverage of the potential for a new world tribunal that would make binding decisions on a host of issues critical to the U.S. economy. The draft text has been available on the Internet since Oct. 20 for all to see.

“The only mentions one is likely to find with search engines are alarms being sounded by critics, the climate realists who reject the apocalyptic predictions (and discredited pseudo-science – see: here, here, and here) of the multi-billion dollar global warming lobby,” writes William F. Jasper for the New American magazine.

China, India behind the move

One such critic is the Craig Rucker, executive director and co-founder of CFACT.

Rucker points out that more than 130 developing nations – “led by South Africa and instigated by China and India” – are insisting they will not sign a climate deal in Paris unless it contains massive redistribution of wealth from developed to poor nations.

“Now they want the power to haul the U.S. and its allies before a U.N. Star Chamber to enforce compliance,” Rucker writes.

He also notes that this is not the first time the U.N. has tried to insert language creating a global climate court into a U.N. climate document. It happened in 2011 at a summit in Durban but was stripped at the last minute when CFACT blew the whistle and some media outlets picked up the story.

But this time around, the globalists writing the text have substituted the world “tribunal” for “court” and insist the body will be “non-judicial.”

“The slight edit to the terminology offers little comfort,” Rucker said, cautioning that the word “tribunal” could get watered down further if it attracts too much attention.

“If the climate tribunal becomes the focus of public scrutiny, watch for the negotiators to pull a switch behind closed doors and try and accomplish the same thing by re-branding it an enforcement ‘mechanism,’” he said.

Ceding sovereignty to U.N. bureaucracy

“Whatever they call it, countries who sign onto this agreement will be voting to expand the reach of the U.N. climate bureaucracy, cede national sovereignty, and create a one-way street along which billions will be redistributed from developed to poor nations,” Rucker says. “Developed nations would be expected to slash their emissions while the ‘poor’ countries expand theirs. China, which holds a trillion dollars in U.S. debt, would be counted among the poor.”

He said China and India are “delighted,” with the prospect.

“They would like nothing better than a world where the West cedes the competitive advantages their free market economies created,” Rucker writes. “They hope for a future where Asia does the manufacturing and the U.S. and Europe do the importing – until their wealth runs out, anyway.”

Obama, Kerry ‘desperate’ to claim treaty as success

Rucker said President Obama and John Kerry are desperate to claim the climate treaty as a foreign policy “success.”

“President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry are mired in foreign policy failures,” Rucker notes. “They desperately want to get this agreement signed so they can claim a victory for their legacies.

“How far are they willing to sell out American interests to get this ill-begotten agreement signed?”

My comments: It is clear that the UN will be the Instrument of the One World Government of the Antichrist. Obama and Kerry are following Satan in relinquishing US Sovereignty to the UN. Scripture will prove to be the only reliable news source.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND THAT WHICH EIDIFIES.

Mindful Connections by Toni Babcock

"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me but all things edify not," (1 Corinthians 10:23 KJV).

Have you noticed in the break room lately, nearly everybody is hovered over an iPhone? We don't seem to find each other as interesting anymore compared to the zany postings and snarky comments we read online. In spite of Facebook, we're actually not talking face to face as much anymore. Social media might more aptly be described as "anti-social" media. 

What about the drama of settling matters online - which might mean posting an oblique message over a personal confrontation. It's so much easier to copy and paste a designer rant onto our timeline than actually talking to people. Plus we get the added benefit of a multitude of people clicking 'like' next to our post with thumbs up. What an ego boost!

Granted, sometimes it feels good to get something off our chest, but when we have a grievance and find it too difficult to speak face to face to the person whose views or actions offend us, it would be more productive to send them a personal message spelling out what's on our mind. Then we can allow God to take it from there, or choose to say nothing and simply trust Jesus. 

What do you think? Has social media strengthened or weakened the fabric of your social connections? If it makes you more accessible, more mindful, more courageous, and more honest, choose "like" - if not, you know what to do. 

Lord, give us the grace to use media in a way that brings you glory, and not allow it to make us weaker people, or less than what you would have us to be.
