1965

Sir Winston Churchill died. .People were truly thankful that Winston Churchill had led them to victory in World War II-at a time when everybody else seemed inclined to compromise with Nazi Germany. His death came at the end of a 20-year period that had seen the nation reject just about everything he stood for. With the British Empire gone, it was Britain's turn to be dismantled. The present Labour government has set the course. Mr. Blair, British prime minister, prefers to identify with a new age. He is the first prime minister who does not remember Winston Churchill. In a speech just before the election that brought him to power, he described himself: "I am a modern man. I am a part of the rock and roll generation-the Beatles, colour TV, that's the generation I come from" It's also a generation that has grown up with emphasis on material values, with little concept of morality and often lacking any knowledge of God. Many in the new government reflect these realities. Writing of "the end of Britain" in Newsweek magazine (July 10, 2000), columnist George Will reminded readers of George Orwell's dismissive comment on English intellectuals: "England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their nationality." It's hard to understand the hatred so many people have for the old values Sir Winston Churchill symbolized. "God, king and country" have no place in the minds of many, Unless this disappearance is reversed, soon all that will linger ... will be a mocking memory of the nation who relative to their numbers, contributed more to civilization than any other people since the ancient Greeks and Romans"

U.S. Failure to heed God's Word

God said that in the end time He would restore the land of Israel and the people of Israel back to their land. The U.S. has encouraged Israel to divide her Covenant Land and has experienced eleven of the top natural disasters in U.S. history
1991, The U.S. State Department drafted the Madrid peace conference, a conference designed to force Israel to give up land for peace. The conference was to begin on October 30. That same day, the largest storm of Atlantic history, formed in one day off the coast of Nova Scotia and started moving westward. Recorded by meteorologists as one of the most powerful storms ever, it damaged the entire east coast and slammed 30 foot waves into the shore.. Soviet Union breaks up after President Gorbachev's resignation; constituent republics form Commonwealth of Independent States (Dec. 25).

1992, The Madrid peace conference was to resume on August 23, again pressuring Israel to surrender land in exchange for peace. The same day, Hurricane Andrew slammed into southern Florida, the worst natural disaster to to hit the United States up to that time.

Bill Clinton uses Army Tanks against American citizens
On February 28, 1993, ATF agents in National Guard helicopters zoomed in on the Branch Davidians' church and home, Mount Carmel Center, they did so with guns blazing,. Bill and Hilary Clinton, Janet Reno and Democratic presidential candisate, General Wesley Clark who supplied the Army tanks, were responsible for thre deaths of more than 74 men, women and children who died in the inferno, including twelve children younger than five years of age. David Koresh's unarmed father-in-law, who stood with him at the front door of the church while the unarmed Koresh begged ATF agents to back off, was killed by gunfire from ATF agents on the ground. The agents shot wildly and threw grenades at the building for more than an hour, even as Davidians called "911" to beg for a ceasefire. ATF snipers later killed one Davidian as he tried to reenter the Mount Carmel Church to join his family.

At dawn on April 19, 1993, and throughout the morning, tanks rammed holes in the main building and pumped (in the FBI's words) "massive amounts" of CS gas into the building, despite knowing that inside were more than a dozen children. The tanks demolished parts of the compound and created tunnels for the wind to blow through. The buildings at this point were saturated with inflammable CS gas and spilled kerosene. ...Around midday two U.S. military pyrotechnic devices were fired into the main building, igniting a fire which (because of the holes in the walls allowed the wind to gust through) spread rapidly through the complex of buildings and became an inferno and more than 74 men, women and children died. Fire trucks were prevented by the FBI from approaching the inferno. After the compound had burned down the ATF flag was hoisted aloft to signify 'victory'. The local sheriff investigated and found no basis for complaints against the Branch Davidians. According to him these were law-abiding American citizens.

In his April 20th news conference Bill Clinton growled that Janet Reno should not have to resign "because some religious fanatics murdered themselves." Two days later he re-asserted, "I do not think the United States government is responsible for the fact that a bunch of fanatics decided to kill themselves." Janet Reno told the House Judiciary Committee hearing that early April 20th, "The second call I got was from the president of the United States, saying, "That-a-girl"

The storm then moved to Florida and up the east coast causing damage as far as Pennsylvania. Meteorologists claimed Allison was one of the worst tropical storms in history.

2005 A Jerusalem court has ruled that the city's annual gay parade should be allowed to take place next Thursday as originally scheduled. The decision overturned a ban on the event by the city's council, which had said the event would be "provocative" and set off unrest. The judge ordered Jerusalem's mayor to personally pay 30,000 shekels ($6,600) to the city's gay and lesbian centre to cover the group's legal costs and underwrite the event. Judge Mussia Arad and she also ordered the council to pay 30,000 shekels to the group, and to line the parade route with banners representing the group in advance of the event, as the city customarily does for cultural events Three months earlier Christian, Jewish and Muslim religious leaders held a news conference calling for gay festivals in Jerusalem to be banned.

Frankly, Carter seems to be a fan of Hamas. He commended the group's "superior skills and discipline" in routing Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction. The U.S. is the rogue &endash; the criminal. To Carter, Hamas is a victim.
