The West Bank is under siege by Israel With all the attention on the war on Gaza, extremists within the Israeli government have seized the opportunity to intensify the oppression of the Palestinians in the West Bank. And things are beyond “out of control.” In fact, I fear that it will soon be too late […]
If the Israeli-Palestinian conflict does not find a swift resolution, it may never be resolved. By this, I mean that whatever resolution that eventually comes may well entail the erasure of either the Israelis or the Palestinians, or conceivably both. And it could well mean the destruction of the U.S. as well. NB: After I […]
War is a business. And the Military-Industrial-Complex (MIC) profits from it. A lot. As I have noted in previous posts, my expertise is in the book of Revelation. For the past 25 years, I have been contemplating the nature of the Beast in Revelation 13 and what it means for us today. This has especially […]
This title derives from a recent blog by Craig Murray, “We Are the Bad Guys.” Craig is not a nobody. He is a former UK ambassador. He begins his post by noting, “In Murder in Samarkand I describe how as a British Ambassador, when I discovered the full extent of our complicity in torture in the War […]
The war in Ukraine is going so well. After two years of fighting off the mighty Russian army, the Ukrainians have entered and seized control of Russian territory! Well, that’s what the US Government, the Western media, and the military-industrial complex want us to believe. We must remember that when it comes to war, those […]
Lest there be any question: torture is immoral. As Christians, we should fundamentally oppose torture because it is dehumanizing and thereby undermines the divine image inherent within humanity. It dehumanizes both the victim and the perpetrator. If we were to address Russia’s use of torture, I am confident that we would unquestionably condemn their actions […]
The question is simple: Should we allow our democratic process to be determined by money? Last month, I wrote about the hijacking of American democracy. One primary means this hijacking occurs is with money. Whether it be corporate dollars or powerful lobbies (often, these two go together), the power of money to influence elections is […]
It is fundamental to the Christian worldview that all persons are made in the image of God and are beings of inherent value. Tragically, many Christians seem to conclude that if a person does not act or believe as they do, which is assumed is in accord with some divine will, they somehow lose that […]
What if we could sit back and cry “foul” to all the things that we believe to be wrong, yet do so in such a way that we don’t actually have to do anything? Win-win! It is easy to sit back and complain about all the problems in the world. It is something else to […]
At the close of this post, I will raise several questions. Among them is, “Could it be that the US’ “endless wars” of the past several decades have not been about our national security as much as they have been about furthering the objectives of the military-industrial complex? The victors write history This might be […]
