A breakup of the current EU?

In the past we have argued that a breakup of the EU as it is currently structured is consistent with the prophecies of Revelation.  Consensus interpretation of the relevant scriptures is that the Beast will come to lead a 10 nation confederation, and the current EU has 28 member nations.  We concede that there is … Continue reading “A breakup of the current EU?”

September may be an interesting month

My apologies for such a long absence.  I had written some entries but in the end did not post. The main themes discussed here are ongoing developments, and as such, have their own ebb and flow. We have highlighted the dangerous found in the ‘Immigration Reform’ bill that was passed by the Senate, and is … Continue reading “September may be an interesting month”

German Elections

German national elections will be held later this month.  Previously we highlighted the birth of a new political party in Germany, the Alternative for Germany party.  Their central platform is Germany should leave the Euro bloc. Though the media and mainstream parties are ignoring AfD, hoping that they will just disappear, their election results may … Continue reading “German Elections”

Catalan Independence

CNN and other major US news outlets continue to ignore massive demonstrations in Catalan, as they seek independence from Spain.  (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24052713) Perhaps it is time for Believers to start a similar movement in Texas or other states.  While it may seem to be a Quixotic endeavor, it would give a chance for Believers to band together … Continue reading “Catalan Independence”

A spark for an autumn fire?

September is not yet over, and there is still a chance that the dying embers of summer may spark a fire for the fall. The ongoing drama in Italian politics is finally coming to a head.  Berloni, the ex-Italian PM, has finally been pushed out of politics due to his criminal convictions.  HIs political party … Continue reading “A spark for an autumn fire?”

German Elections

Merkel and her coalition ‘won’ the German elections held in late September.  The Alternative for German party did not attain the 5% level, but while they failed to gain seats in the Bundestag, their achievement of winning 4.7% of the vote was seen as a victory of sorts.  http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/press-review-and-news-roundup-on-german-coalition-talks-a-925327.html Merkel and her allies failed to … Continue reading “German Elections”

More clarity regarding the legal ramifications

An article in Der Spiegel has brought more clarity as to the ramifications of the recent ruling by the German Supreme Court on the ECB’s OMT program(http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/german-court-calls-ecb-bond-buying-into-question-a-952556-2.html).   It would appear the initial reaction of the media pundits and the financial markets were too optimistic — or rather, their reaction assumed the victory of the … Continue reading “More clarity regarding the legal ramifications”

If it looks like a tyrant, smells like a tyrant, and acts like a tyrant.

We have argued that the Beast, when he rises to his final place of power, will morph and become a dictator (perhaps in everything but name).  Our argument is based upon the implications of his actions as prophesied by Revelation.  The growing sphere of the federal government’s mandates into its citizen’s personal lives (mandates = … Continue reading “If it looks like a tyrant, smells like a tyrant, and acts like a tyrant.”

Things mass media in America ignores

News outlets like CNN, New York Times, national network news programs (ABC, NBC, etc) do not report on certain types of news — propaganda is not only about spinning the news you report on, but it also includes news you steadfastly ignore.  In the past, we have brought up the Catalonia movement to secede from … Continue reading “Things mass media in America ignores”

Scotland — a nation unconquered by Rome

The Roman Empire stretched across most of Western Europe, reaching as far as the British Isles. However, the Romans were not able to conquer one part of those isles – Scotland.  Eventually, Scotland did finally fall to the English and by doing so, ended up as part of Great Britain.  In a world where many areas hunger to … Continue reading “Scotland — a nation unconquered by Rome”
