Yes, despite all of this pro-Moslem nonsense, the Bible predicts that Europeans (especially Italians and Germans will tire of the Moslem hordes invading them and will revolt and start yet another and possible last Crusade against Islam.

Italy’s soon-to-be first female prime minister Giorgia Meloni

The Rise of Nativism in Europe:

Italy is swing back to sane conservative government because of economics and illegal migration. Sound familiar? 

Footage of Italy’s soon-to-be first female prime minister Giorgia Meloni went viral on social media Monday, and it’s clear from listening to her that she’s preaching against the far-left status quo.

“Why is the family an enemy? Why is the family so frightening?” Meloni asked in the now-viral video shared across almost all social media platforms. “There is a single answer to all these questions: because it defines us, because it is our identity, because everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity and to simply be perfect consumer slaves.”

Meloni continued to note that these elites attack national, religious, gender, and family identity as a means of cultivating the human race into “the perfect slave” society “at the mercy of financial speculators.” Her stance is quite the opposite, returning the value of individual human beings as parts of families, communities and nations, and not as a conglomerate of numbers manipulated to support macro-consumerism that places wealth in the hands of a few.

In the Netherlands, the same threat to globalist has been gaining speed for many years now.

“Politicians from nearly all the established parties currently encourage Islamisation. They applaud every new Islamic school, every Islamic bank and every new Islamic court. They consider the Islam to be equal to our own culture. Islam or freedom? They don’t really find that important. But we do think it is important. The whole establishment, the elites – the universities, churches, trade unions, the media and politicians – are putting our hard fought for liberties on the line.”

This quote is from Geert Wilders, the leader of the radical-right Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Netherlands. Although many observers are surprised by the rise of radical-right parties in a progressive country such as the Netherlands, we would claim that developments in the Netherlands are actually very representative for broader trends in (Western) Europe: the rise of nativism, most explicitly articulated by, yet not restricted to, radical right-wing parties.

In public opinion and scholarship alike, the increasing success of such right-wing parties have been understood in terms of a  “resurgence of nationalism.” This interpretation makes sense as radical-right parties across Europe are indeed clearly nationalistic. Take the following quote of Wilders: “Our history compels us to fight a battle that is not an option but a necessity. After all this is a battle for the […] survival of the Netherlands as a recognisable nation; a country, that is about to say goodbye to its ancient roots in exchange for multiculturalism, cultural relativism and an European super state, all under the leadership of a self-satisfied political elite that has long lost the plot."  The territorial entity (“the Netherlands”) should be “Dutch” by nature. Or as Wilders frames it somewhat tautological in the following quote, as preserving the “Dutch character” of the Netherlands: “What this cabinet was especially good at was ramping up mass immigration, the support of Islamisation and hollowing out the Dutch character of the Netherlands.

Liberals in Italy and Europe are largely unhappy with Meloni’s right-wing political views, with many claiming she’s a fascist for opposing adoption by same-sex couples and being largely pro-life while not having any plans to cut access to abortion. She has also promised to defend Italy’s borders against a flood of illegal immigration that has overwhelmed Southern Italy.

However, her stance on globalism and macro-globalization taking “real power away from the people to supranational entities headed by supposedly enlightened elites,” is making her a fan-favorite far beyond her voter base, all the way to here in the U.S.

Update:  Boris may get his wish, but he won't be a part of it!  See yesterday's Breaking News Announcement:

Breaking:Prime Minister Boris Johnson will QUIT and make 'statement to the country' TODAY after mutiny by top ministers

You can't make these headlines up!  It is amazing how the Bible itself has accurately predicted what is going to be occurring in the world while most of us don't pay a blind's eye to what is really happening.  The Faux News is merely distracting most of us working folks from being informed about what God has predicted so long ago. The Plain Truth has predicted since its inception that not only will Europe reunite as a revised Holy Roman Empire but become one again.  So today we read in WND.com that of all people, Boris Johnson used that exact term!

Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party, has always been controversial but he raised the volume last week when he suggested that the best way to unite Europe was by, "recreating the Roman Empire".

His vision of the Roman Empire in the 21st century is based on a partnership that includes Turkey and the North African states. At the NATO summit in Madrid last month, he told reporters that this would be based on the 'Mare Nostrum', the Latin term for the Mediterranean Sea. It is interesting to note that 19th-century Italian nationalist fascists used the term to describe Italy as the successor state to the Roman Empire. The term was again taken up by Benito Mussolini for use in fascist propaganda in a similar manner to Adolf Hitler’s lebensraum system of colonialism.

Hitler's Europe is the model of what Europe is to become again.  Most people today see the European Union as a civilized socialist democracy that many in America admire but that is going to change; Europe will unite again and re-arm.  Weak leaders like Obama, Biden and the RINO Republicans will cause Europeans to see that America can't be trusted to protect them.  Once Europe is a major power again a Hitler like monster will gain control of the empire.  In the book of Daniel, he is called the King of the North and in Revelation, he is the antichrist.

Bible prophecy clearly shows that Jesus Christ will return to establish the Kingdom of God here on earth; it will be a literal world-ruling kingdom. This hope is so fundamental that Jesus instructed Christians to regularly pray, “Your kingdom come” (Matthew 6:10; Luke 11:2). Prophecies throughout the Bible give many details about Christ’s return and conditions in the world leading up to that event.

The rise of this final world superpower is foretold primarily in the biblical books of Daniel and Revelation. We will begin with what God revealed to the prophet Daniel in Old Testament times.

After years of decline, the Roman Empire indeed received a “deadly wound” in A.D. 476 when Rome’s Emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed by Germanic tribes led by Odoacer. But that was not the end of the Roman Empire. As we will see, that “wound” was indeed healed, and the empire would rise again—and again and again through history.

The Plain Truth has been predicting since we started posting online in 2008 (and believed these truths even long before that) that in the End Times, Russia will not be the threat people think. The major threat to world domination will be a revised Holy Roman Empire led by two beasts. One will be the Pope, who will spiritually align with an emperor of Europe, emerging most likely out of one of two countries, Italy or Germany. In Daniel 11, this leader is known as The King of the North and is also known as The Beast of Revelation! This is not our opinion, this is in the Bible and is the Holy Word of God!  In the end times, America, Western Europe, and Britain (all a part of the lost tribes of Israel), Russia, and China will not have the power they enjoy today!

The current leader of Russia, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping of China who has been serving as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) since 2012, and President of the People's Republic of China (PRC) since 2013, are not what the mainstream media and other world leaders project them to be. 

Repeating AGAIN- Russian Power is a myth!

Editor's Note: This article was first published in January 2008 and explains how we can understand future events if we know who is who in the Bible. God knew the future of the world when the Bible prophecies were written, and we can understand world events and the coming future when we understand what nations are mentioned in the Bible.

Now with the Ukraine-Russian problem- it is time to remember again - RUSSIA IS NOT THE THREAT TO AMERICA- according to the Bible!

by Robert R. Barney

Russia is rearing it's ugly head. Russia is the Gog and MaGog in your Bible and will play a role in the future, but Russia is never going to become the threat to the world that many fear. Both the King of the North and the King of the South found in Daniel are the key to understanding future world events. This is not to say that Russia or China or even other nations will not go to war and be a menace to the world, but in the total scheme of things, we must watch events in Europe, and the Middle East. One man, Herbert W. Armstrong, repeatedly dared to declare—years ahead of the Soviet Union’s fall—that the USSR was not the power to fear. The real power to watch, according to him, would be another force: a ten-nation “United States of Europe” that would form in the years ahead. He said that Russia would remain a thre at to the world—just not in the way most Westerners thought. Russia would combine economically and militarily with China, he predicted, to eventually create a gargantuan new Asian superpower such as the world has never seen.

excerpts from WND story

The Plain Truth has been predicting since we started online in 2008 (and long before that) that in the End Times, Russia will not be the threat people think. The major threat to world domination will be a revised Holy Roman Empire led by two beasts. One will be the Pope, who will spiritually align with an emperor of Europe (probably out of Italy or Germany) and that leader is known as the King of the North in Daniel 11, and The Beast of Revelation!  It's God's word.  In the end times, America, Western Europe and Britain (all part of the lost tribes of Israel), Russia and China will not have the power they enjoy today!

The leaders of Russia, Putin, and China -Xi Jinping who has been serving as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) since 2012, and President of the People's Republic of China (PRC) since 2013.  Both of these leaders are not what the main stream media and world leaders project.  

Almost every leader of a major power today is a moron.  Biden, Putin, Boris Johnson, Xi-JinPing, Macron are all mentally are unable to understand the world and what is happening.  Putin is going to be the person who helped put a fascist - communist Europe together, and Xi is going to force Japan to nucleear re-arm itself and build a military, something that General MacArthur outlawed from doing in their Constitution, THAT HE WROTE!  He understand the most dangerous people ion the world are Japanese militarist, who actually caused WWII.   Remember only one country in the world accepted suicide! Hard Kari and Last year in Japan, more than 25,000 people took their own lives. That's 70 every day. The vast majority were men.

People often cite Japan's long tradition of "honorable suicide" as a reason for the high rate here, and they are correct! They point to the Samurai practice of committing "seppuku" or to the young "kamikaze" pilots of 1945, to show there are distinct cultural reasons why Japanese are more likely to take their own lives. This mindset would have no worries about sending every H bomb to China killing off the entire population, even if that meant their own destruction! 

Now, because of Putin's stupidity, After weeks of refusing to send military aid to Ukraine due to a longstanding policy never to send arms to conflict zones, Germany has reversed course.

On Saturday, Berlin buckled under the pressure of fierce criticism from other western European nations and has now opted to send 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger anti-aircraft defense systems out of its own arsenal and has also granted approval for the Netherlands and Estonia to ship some of their own German-originated weapons to aid Ukraine, Politico reported.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the decision is due to the historic nature of Russia’s invasion and the need to defend its Ukrainian allies.

"The Russian attack marks a turning point. It is our duty to do our best to help Ukraine defend against the invading army of Putin. That's why we're supplying 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 stinger missiles to our friends in the Ukraine," he tweeted, as Axios reported.

Why is this happening?  A weak USA lead by a complete idiots, Joe Biden and Barak Obama (Oh yes, Obama is the destroyer of America) have forced Europe and Japan to realize that America does not have their back and that they must learn to raise their own powerful armies to defend themselves, not realizing that this will lead to totalitarianism in their own land.

In January, Germany had refused to approve Estonia’s request to send its own German-made howitzers to Ukraine as Russia appeared ready to launch an invasion, angering other European nations who called on Berlin to do more to help fend off the Kremlin’s aggression.

Germany is the largest and wealthiest nation in the European Union, so it undoubtedly plays a major role in the west’s ultimate effectiveness at helping to thwart Putin’s advances in Ukraine.

“The problem in Europe is that a lot of it is supplied by German manufacturers, and Germany so far is withholding consent,” an official to a western European nation said last week, as Politico reported. “That instantly limits the available stores in Europe.”

“Now is the time to help as much as we can,” another official said as Germany still maintained its refusal to help on Friday. “There are people dying and [there] will be more if we don’t do what is the bare minimum,” the official said, adding: “It is a question of survival for Ukraine.”

It is believed that the extensive pressure of other western allies ultimately drove Germany to reverse course.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON EUROPE and JAPAN!

The U.N. has a fearsome new mascot adorning its plaza-- A BEAST!

 

But the EU symbol comes right out of the Bible! German's major publication from 2004 displayed the new symbol for Europe ---take a look

Revelation 17:3--So the angel took me in the Spirit into the wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, and blasphemies against God were written all over it.

During the pagan Roman Christmas Mass in Rome in 800, Pope Leo III placed a crown on Charlemagne’s head, and the inhabitants of Rome acclaimed Charlemagne as their emperor. There had been no Emperor in western Europe for more than 300 years. Charlemagne shared special ties with Europe, and his connection with Europe continued well beyond his death. How?

The Plain Truth is that Europe again will most likely have another Charlemagne-like emperor.

The annual Charlemagne Prize was created in 1950 by the German city of Aachen, located on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands, to honor those who worked to foster western European understanding.

In 1990, as the Warsaw Pact and then the Soviet Union were disintegrating, Aachen broadened the criteria for winning. Since then, the prize has honored those who worked for the ‘overall unification of the peoples of Europe’—not just western Europe anymore, but all Europe.

Among those who have been given this award are Winston Churchill, Emmanuel Macron, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Pope Francis and the entire population of Luxembourg—a rather eclectic list.This is a transcript from the video series Charlemagne: Father of Europe. Watch it now, on Wondrium.

Many are unaware that Modern Day Germany are the people that long ago lived in the Middle East and were enemies of Israel.... They are called Assyrians in the Bible.  What happen to them? Click HERE for the answer and proof.

Don't be fooled friends, Putin is a monster, but the real BEAST is yet to appear! Pray like your life depends on it, because it does.

   Make no doubt about it, there will be a "strongman" of Europe. He will be a man, not a woman. When he appears (and I don't know when) he will convince the civilized world that he is the greatest person who will have ever lived. He will be more popular than Jesus, and will fool many people. In fact, Jesus said that unless God loved His elect, even they would be deceived! Paul calls this evil man "The man of lawlessness." The man of lawlessness in 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 is an antichrist who will come on the world stage at the beginning of the Day of the Lord. This Day, sometimes called the “end times.”  He is given the title “man of lawlessness” because he will oppose God's Law, just as the Catholic Church and most so-called Christian Churches do today!   Daniel 7 speaks of this man as a “boastful” king who will “try to change the set times and the laws” (verses 11 and 25). He will come offering a false peace and prosperity to the civilized world and will with his media-star- personality, convince everyone that he is a great human being.   He will be able to perform fake miracles, bring nations together in a global government,  and  align religiously with the Roman Church and the Pope, the False Prophet, and also an Antichrist.  They will make a covenant with Israel for three and one-half years (cf. Daniel 9:27, where “seven” indicates seven years). In the middle of the seven years, the man of lawlessness will break his covenant with Israel, stop their sacrifices (Daniel 9:27), and enter the temple to set himself up as “god” and demand worship (2 Thessalonians 2:4). This is the “abomination that causes desolation” that Jesus spoke of in Mark 13:14.

Two beasts are described in Revelation chapter 13, one from the sea (vs. 1) and one from the land (vs. 11). With the beast out of the sea, we come to that one who, regardless of his claims as the white horse rider or peace maker, comes as a great source of darkness into the world. He comes not to save the world, but to damn the world. In essence, what we have in this chapter in the rise of the beast and the false prophet is nothing short of the ‘trinity from hell’ in that both are the product of the machinations of that old serpent, the devil or Satan.

My view, which is NOT BIBLICAL, but just a hunch, is that this strongman of Europe will ride in on a wave of populism which is now raging worldwide, but unlike what people needlessly fear in Donald Trump, this man (maybe another billionaire) will use Trump's "game plan" to fool the world. The big difference of course is that the main stream media will anoint him, as they did Obama, as a savior!  The media is evil, controlled by the prince of the airways (Satan) and will always get it wrong when it comes to predicting evil people.  So, again, in conclusion, I will not doubt for a minute that we may see, appearing on our TV screens, a liberal billionaire who will come to prominence in Europe.  He will probably be German (but maybe Italian of Germanic decent).  Isaiah chapter 10 predicts that the antichrist or beast is Assyrian.  Assyria IS modern Germany!   Dr. Herman Hoeh wrote in "Germany in Prophecy!": "When the ancient Greek writers wanted to distinguish the Assyrians from the Arameans or Syrians, the Greeks called the Assyrians, 'Leucosyri' - meaning 'whites' or 'blonds' as distinct from the very brunette Syrians who still live in Mesopotamia." (Plain Truth, Jan. 1963, p.17). By the time of Christ, the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder recorded that the Assyrians were now dwelling north of the Black sea (Natural History, IV, 12, p.183). By this time, they had moved north.  But they did not stop there, as Herbert Armstrong wrote in The United States and Britain in Prophecy: "The Assyrians - before 604 B.C. - left their land north of Babylon and migrated northwest - through the lands that are now Georgia, the Ukraine, Poland, and into the land that is called GERMANY today. Today the descendants of those Assyrians are known to us as the GERMAN people" (pp.143-144, 1980 ed.).

For centuries, the German people have dominated the heartland of Western Europe. Yet they are a people who know very little about their true origin - or at least refuse to know. The Germans themselves are responsible for hiding much of this knowledge, just as many tried to hide their past at the end of the Hitler era. Just as the modern-day Israelites are one family of people from many different tribes, so too are the German people today. They number well over 100 million people worldwide - most of them residing in Germany and Austria.

We know who the nations of the world are. This knowledge, from God's word, enables us to understand the news today, and why and where things will happen - what to expect - and everything we need to know.

The STRONGMAN of EUROPE will appear on the world stage and when it happens - TROUBLE is about to hit the fan.......

UPDATE:

The Bible clearly identifies Europe as the Germany, Holy Roman Emp[ire  For years, Bible scholars who know this has been waiting for Europe to reawaken it's Nazi past and find a strongman to lead a newly yet to be formed Holy Roman Empire, with recognition from the Pope and led by Germany.  Modern day Germany are the people that the Bible refers to as the Assyrians.  

By VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

Recently German chancellor Angela Merkel reminded us of that German fixation, when she made some astounding statements to the German media that revealed what many Americans had long ago surmised.

Merkel all but announced that Germany, or for that matter Europe itself, is no longer really an ally of the United States: “There is no doubt that Europe needs to reposition itself in a changed world. . . . The old certainties of the post-war order no longer apply.”

She insisted that Germany views the democratic United States as not much different from autocratic Russia and Communist China: Urging Europe to present a united front in the face of Russia, China, and the U.S., she said, “They are forcing us, time and again, to find common positions.” And Merkel concluded that therefore Germany must find “political power” commensurate with its economic clout to forge a new independent European path.

In other words, in the calculus of the supposedly sober and judicious Merkel, the democracy that saved Europe twice from a carnivorous Germany — and Germany once from itself and once from becoming a Soviet vassal — is now similar to the world’s two largest authoritarian dictatorships, nations that not so long ago murdered respectively 30 million and 70 million of their own citizens. And how odd a sentiment for someone who grew up in Communist East Germany, a nightmarish state whose collapse was largely attributable to the Reagan-era effort to bankrupt and roll back the Soviet empire.   MORE

Broken Now, but will reform into The Beast of Revelation!

Age of schism in west...

Five hundred years ago a political and religious crisis tore Europe apart. Now the continent is entering another age of schism. It is no secret that the European Union is in severe crisis. Besides the challenge of Brexit, the established order is threatened by a range of other schismatics and heretics to the south, east and indeed within the Franco-German core. What is less well understood is that in many ways we have been here before – 500 years ago, when the Reformation tore Europe apart.

Around 1500, most of our continent was shaped by a single geo-ideological and geopolitical order, or at least a common imaginary. Roman Catholicism reigned supreme from the west coast of Ireland to the eastern borders of Poland and Lithuania, from Norway’s North Cape to the heel of the Italian boot. A wronged wife in Yorkshire could appeal to the papacy for justice if necessary. You had to go quite far east or south-east to encounter the rival Christian order of Orthodoxy in Muscovy and much of the Balkans. This was the result of an earlier schism in the church, creating a second Rome in Constantinople, and after the fall of that city a Third Rome in Moscow. Europeans referred to their continent as “Christendom”.

This order was already under some pressure. The Roman Church was generally perceived to be in crisis. Clerical ignorance and corruption, for example the sale of “indulgences”, were increasingly regarded as intolerable. Demands for reform were widespread. In England, one of the great realms of Europe, the common people chafed under clerical abuses, and the monarchy under papal constraints on its authority. Ever since the Middle Ages, the parliamentary statute of “praemunire” had made it illegal to sue for justice in a foreign court, at least with regard to high matters of state. When all was said and done, though, the sense of inhabiting a political commonwealth was deeply ingrained throughout most of the continent.

What the Bible Says About the Future of Europe:

   Make no doubt about it, there will be a "strongman" of Europe. He will be a man, not a woman. When he appears (and I don't know when) he will convince the civilized world that he is the greatest person who will have ever lived. He will be more popular than Jesus, and will fool many people.

Stark begins by quite vividly painting a picture of Pope Urban II's speech in 1095, in a French meadow, in which he read from a desperate letter sent by the emperor of Byzantium, who was rightly concerned about the war-like Seljuk Turks – an army within 100 miles of Constantinople. Among other things, the torturing of Christians was becoming a battle tactic of the Muslims. I think this would sound familiar, right now, to Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem.

From there, Stark presents an engrossing tale of the myths and facts of the Crusades. For example, he says clearly that despite what some other historians have said, the Crusader armies were not made up of "the dregs of society" due to terrible economic conditions. Actually, says Stark, there was a period of economic growth in Europe during this time, and not only nobility funded the military excursions, but so did commoners.

Stark also addresses, in skillful fashion, the nuance of this sweeping story. Describing the brutality of a small contingent of Crusaders – "German knights" – who were bent on murdering Jews they found along the way, the bishop of Speyer sheltered that town's Jews (all but 12, who failed to heed warnings and were butchered), illustrating that down through history, while Christendom has a stained record with the Jews, many Christians have come to the aid of the Jews.

It is the encounters that the Crusaders had with Muslims hordes, however, that are most epic (a side-note for the immature reader: Several of the leaders of the Crusades had names that sounded like something straight out of Saturday Night Live: Walter the Penniless, Emicho of Leisingen and so forth).

Recounting an engagement near Tiberias between Crusader forces and the infamous Saladin, Stark adds rich texture to "God's Battalions":

"Then, as the sun rose and with the wind at their backs, Saladin's forces set fire to large collections of brush, and the smoke made it difficult for the Christians to keep track of their units," Stark writes. Carnage then ensued, and, "All of the Templars and Hospitallers taken captive were beheaded; the other captives were enslaved."

Stark does such a good job of fleshing out historical detail, it's difficult to name a favorite portion of the book. However, he shows us that truly, history repeats itself endlessly. In Chapter 10 ("Crusaders Against Egypt"), he shows the reader how critical this ancient land was to stability in the Middle East – just as we are learning in painful ways today.

"God's Battalions" is a wonderful historical record, and readers and historians alike should read it with the gusto it deserves, for the lessons contained in it are instructive for our time. Congratulations to Rodney Stark for harnessing history in such spectacular fashion.

Europe is destined to become the BEAST of REVELATION.  Europe is going to beg for a STRONG MAN to take over- Another Caesar or Hitler type is coming to EUROPE- Watch Europe and the Middle East!

A coalition of retired French military officers is warning that civil war could come to the European nation because its government is failing to control mass migration and "creeping Islamism."

In a letter, the leaders pointed to the problems of cultural Marxism, runaway multiculturalism and the growth of no-go zones, neighborhoods where it is unsafe for non-Muslims to venture, noted Soeren Kern, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute.

The letter came after a series of Islamic terror attacks, including the beheading of a teacher.

Kern explained there is "widespread public indignation over a French justice system compromised by political correctness — as evidenced by the refusal to prosecute an African immigrant from Mali who, while shouting 'Allahu Akbar' ('Allah is the Greatest'), killed an elderly Jewish woman by breaking into her home and pushing her off her balcony."

This may come as a surprise to many of our readers, because of all the media attention about China as our enemy, but believe it or not, like Russia, China is not the threat to America that Europe and the Middle East will be in our near future. Although China is an increasingly important player in global affairs there is however, very little evidence on how it is presented in the fake news media. This matters because even in today's increasingly interconnected world the media can often influence our perceptions of other countries, often lying about what they're covering.

Tom Fowdy, a British political and international relations analyst says "There's a certain narrative they are pushing in regards to China's actions, and it's time to shine the spotlight on what that is."  Fowdy goes on to say, "Its mainstream media transformed the subject into a matter of hysteria, creating a poisonous atmosphere with a relentlessly growing focus on Chinese influence and other stories which have incited growing paranoia, creating a grander picture that China is a threat."

When the US  “allowed” China to join the WTO, and develop its economy, our leaders hoped they could establish themselves in China, and get a total control of their economy for their own profits. That would have been easier if China had become a “democracy”, because democracies can easily be bought.

Problem is, China kept control of half the profits, and used them to develop its infrastructures, its schools and Universities, and so on. In a mere 30 years it has become a modern country. And now, even worse, there is an anti-corruption campaign going on.  Now the Americans realize, "hey, we couldn’t buy them, but now they are on their way to buy US!"

That is unacceptable.  So, let’s make them the “bad” guys. Let’s do our best to destabilize the country. And the ordinary American people?  Well, who cares about them…

I am not going to defend China here. They are a brutal regime that uses slave labor to make the products that the entire world needs.  They have over a billion workers that they need to keep employed or there will be riots and violence at an unpreceidented level. In order to do this, they need to keep the people working making cheap goods to sell to the entire world.  This is really their goal. Unlike what you are being fed on Fox News, China has never been a war-like people like Japan, Germany and Italy.  We want to demonize a country that is doing what we should have been doing all along, and that is a China-First policy.  It's a smart policy. Trump tried to do the same here, but the Deep State, which loves turmoil and countless wars would have none of it.

China is Not Nazi Germany

I hate to spring this news on you here, but in 1939, Germany did not depend on the United States to buy its goods.  The plain truth is that it was the other way around. Germany and Japan needed to buy goods from us, which we, siding with Britain, refused to sell them!  We were fighting an economic war with Germany and Japan long before we declared war.

The Hindenburg bursts into flames above Lakehurst, New Jersey, on May 6, 1937.

Hindenburg designer Hugo Eckener sought to use helium, a non-flammable lifting gas. However, the United States, which had a monopoly on the world supply of helium and feared that other countries might use the gas for military purposes, banned its export to Germany.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to an unprecedented third term as president of the United States. This victory gave him the political clout to openly support Great Britain in her struggle against Germany, but by the spring of 1941, the British were in desperate straits both economically and militarily. Under Roosevelt’s order, the United States began using its warships to provide limited escort to merchant ships sailing for Britain, especially ships carrying weapons that America supplied through the Lend-Lease Act, which Roosevelt signed into law on March 11, 1941.

For a very insightful interview on how the USA and The Soviets caused Japan to strike Pearl Harbor. It is HERE

Many will be surprised at the evidence. Also, in 1939, the U.S. begin to directly challenge continued Japanese aggression in China. That year, the U.S. announced it was pulling out of the 1911 Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with Japan, signaling a coming end to trade with the empire. Japan continued its campaign through China and in 1940, Roosevelt declared a partial embargo of U.S. shipments of oil, gasoline, and metals to Japan.

The move forced Japan to consider drastic options. It had no intention of ceasing its imperial conquests and it was poised to move into French Indochina. With a total American resource embargo likely, Japanese militarists began looking at the oil fields of the Dutch East Indies as possible replacements for American oil. That presented a military challenge, however, because the American-controlled Philippines and the American Pacific Fleet — based at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii — were between Japan and the Dutch possessions.

In July 1941, the U.S. completely embargoed resources to Japan and froze all Japanese assets in American entities. American policies forced Japan to the wall. With the approval of Japanese Emperor Hirohito, the Japanese Navy began planning to attack Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, and other bases in the Pacific in early December to open the route to the Dutch East Indies.

Unlike Germany and Japan which depended on oil and goods from America, China does not. They need to sell to America and Europe to keep a revolution from starting in their homeland, a revolution I BELIEVE will eventually occur!

the Bible says the Europe and The Muslim World will be our enemies:

The late Herbert W. Armstrong, when he was the editor of The Plain Truth Magazine (not connected to this website) was the only voice in the world who foretold consistent prophecies and warnings published over the years in the Plain Truth magazine concerning the future of Europe, Germany and the eventual rise of the Holy Roman Empire.  Most laughed when he coined the phrase "The United States of Europe."  Here are a few excerpts:

 

The PLAIN TRUTH, June, 1952, p. 11: "The 10 `horns'...in the 17th chapter [of the Book of Revelation] ...will be...the revival of the BEAST, the Roman Empire, `out of the bottomless pit,' by a `United States of Europe,' or federation of 10 European nations within the bounds of the old Roman Empire*."

 

The PLAIN TRUTH, November, 1954, p. 7: "Word comes from the College of Cardinals that the possibility of the new pope being chosen (when that becomes a necessity) from the ranks other than Italian is not too remote. The next pope could be the man who will unite Europe!"

 

 

The PLAIN TRUTH, February, 1962, p. 5: "On the WORLD TOMORROW program, and in the pages of the PLAIN TRUTH, we have been shouting to a heedless world for [many] years this was going to occur...it would come as an ECONOMIC force, bringing unprecedented prosperity to Europe. But also, it is to become a political and military combine—a gigantic third power bloc in the world, that will include more population, greater man-power, and possibly even greater military resources than either the United States or Russia. When this giant combine—a United States of EUROPE—finally emerges as such before a startled and dumbfounded world, it will last only a very short time. It will fight against Jesus Christ at His Second Coming!"

 

 

Not only did Armstrong see a united Europe, he also proclaimed a UNIFIED Germany and the destruction of the Berlin Wall!

 

 

The PLAIN TRUTH, October, 1964, p. 48: "Germany—A UNITED GERMANY with her former territories restored—is ready to emerge as the strongest nation on earth at the head of a revitalized...Europe! The power colossus is then going to deal a death blow to the United States and Britain..."

 

 

The PLAIN TRUTH, December, 1964, p. 16: "...God shows that in this end time He is going to use the modern Assyrians...the Germans—to dominate a United Europe."

 

 

The PLAIN TRUTH, October, 1968. [Editor's note: Herbert W. Armstrong's son, Garner Ted, had just returned from Munich and Bonn, following interviews with the late Franz Josef Strauss, who was then head of the Christian Socialist Union of Bavaria, and former Defense Minister. The article in the October issue included a lengthy question and answer session with Herr Strauss]. p. 6: "One of our major conditions [Strauss said] is that the desire for admission to the Common Market is not based upon the motivation to impede political integration. We want...members who are ready and prepared to join us on the way toward a political integration with the long-run goal of the United States of Europe." Later, underlining the fact that Strauss had become a strong proponent of European acquisition of nuclear weapons, he said, "I believe the Europeans should take more responsibility for their own defense...I see as the only chance... that of building up a Europe—integrating the Federal Republic of Germany into that Europe and building bridges from an attractive, economically powerful, political and influential Europe which can defend herself—including a nuclear potential—to add to the power of the Europeans."

 

 

Armstrong's son, Garner Ted Armstrong wrote: "I have been predicting the eventual creation of a "United States of Europe" for more than 45 years on radio and television, in many articles and in major booklets. Continually, I have emphasized that the eventual "Beast" power which is prophesied to emerge will not grow gradually out of the present 15-nation configuration, which includes nations I believe are part of the so-called "lost ten tribes of Israel." Those nations include Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Holland, Belgium, and northern France. For decades, I have predicted that Britain would NOT be a part of the final ten nations which will form. Now, with the German Chancellor wanting to hurry the process of developing a European Superstate, with Germany playing the pivotal role, Britain is appalled."

 

The Plain Truth is that EUROPE will become the enemy of The United States and will be lead by a TYRANT called the antichrist!   WATCH EUROPE- Your life depends on it!

 

The Muslim world and The King of the South:

the Bible clearly shows that the antichrist beast comes out of Europe, however it also shows another beast, that of a United Islam State under a Muslim dictator.  He is called in Daniel 11 as the King of the South, who constantly makes war with the King of the North (antichrist of the revised Holy Roman Empire) and we have seen these wars and fulfilled Bible prophecy with the Crusades almost 700 years ago.  A unified Europe will try to conquer the world, and their greatest enemy will be the United Islam States. World War 3 (or whatever the final world war number will be) will be mainly between these two dictators and Revelation tells us that 1 million plus muslims will die near the Euphrates river in a single battle! (Nuke war??).  America by then, will have been totally enslaved and under the thumb of Europe.  China may provide that 200 million man army read about in Revelation coming from the "east," but for the most part, they will not be the "big" players in world events in the future.  Japan will probably control China by then!  China's policies, like Russia's under Putin, are doomed to fail.  

 

the Bible always proves to be correct. Trust in God's words and prophecy, not the fake news media..

A Beast is rising in Europe, and if you are a Plain Truth Reader, you know that the Bible promises that the evil coming antichrist will arise out a United States of Europe!  Yes, Europe, under the Holy Roman Church is the end time beast of Revelation, and will become the enemy of the USA.  You need to know just WHO the players are in today's world!  Click Here  and you will be amazed just who the nation's are today, as prophesied is the Bible!  You can not know what is going to happen unless you know who we are, and who "they" are!   Macron's France, by the way is a lost tribe of Israel named Rueben! And they, like in WWII, will be enslaved by the coming antichrist!

In a recent article, I noted that my boomer generation was the last to experience normalcy in our childhood years – in the sense that normalcy equates to things operating according to their nature as opposed to being artificially manipulated. At the start of our generation, in 1946, we had intact natural families, protected by the institution of marriage, bolstered by the active culture-wide discouragement of promiscuity and adultery. Boys were boys and girls were girls, and we celebrated that existential delight with the French exclamation "viva la difference!" We cherished babies as a gift from God and respected Him as a matter of cultural consensus. Our churches were full, and our jails were empty.

Science was grounded in provable facts and reproducible processes consistent with God's natural order. At the community level we had vibrant natural economies integrating family farms, diverse small businesses and local industries. We primarily ate natural foods, saw health and healing as a natural process, and enjoyed the natural society of mutual cooperation for the common good.

We saw competition in sports and business as beneficial because we also had a code of ethics that demanded fairness and rewarded merit. Journalism was an honorable profession that we trusted to be our eyes and ears for monitoring current events. To a far greater extent than today we the people had control over our lives and our government.

By the final year of the boomer babies, 1964, all that had changed, and for reasons most don't realize and won't discuss today for fear of "Woke" backlash.

The chief culprits were German communist immigrants who had fled Hitler's rising "fascist" National Socialism by the tens of thousands in the 1920s and '30s. Through the war years (in cooperation with homegrown Marxists), they gained ideological control of Hollywood, much of the news media, the Democratic Party and many other culture-shaping institutions because they served America's anti-Nazi interests. Post-war, they shifted their focus to overthrowing our Judeo-Christian culture. The "Red Scare" of the 1950s was an authentic and serious crisis now revised/erased from the history books by the Marxist winners.

Germany had been the chief exporter of Marxism since its native son Karl Marx launched it in the mid-1800s. Germany was the birthplace of "higher criticism" in Christian theology, which created the modern "religious left," and exported its Bible-diluting heresies to America, corrupting nearly every mainstream seminary. Germany was the homeland of the highly manipulable and manipulative "soft sciences" like Freud's psychology.

Germany (along with London and New York) was a world capital of eugenics long before Hitler. And it was the birthplace of "Cultural Marxism" at the Frankfurt School, whose founder Herbert Marcuse was the evil genius behind the rise in America of the left's ultimate weapon, the "sexual revolution," and its LGBT activist armies. Marcuse began his American take-down campaign as an employee of the OSS (forerunner to the CIA), and then a high luminary of academia who sowed the seeds of the 1960s cultural revolution in one after another of the elite universities.

As I document in my book "The Pink Swastika," Germany was also the birthplace of the LGBT movement under Karl Henrich Ulrichs in the 1860s, which in turn gave birth in the early 1900s to what would later be called Nazism. The homosexual subculture in Germany was so pervasive and so powerful by the Weimar era of the 1920s that sodomy was known worldwide as "the German vice," and extreme and varied sexual perversions virtually defined German culture in the major cities. Opposing camps of LGBTs literally dominated both the Nazi Party and the Communist Party as they vied viciously for total power.

America's first LGBT organization (in 1924) was a Chicago chapter of the German "Society for Human Rights" (whose most famous member was Ernst Roehm, founder of the Nazi "storm troopers"). That Chicago offshoot was launched by German American soldier Henry Gerber upon returning from post-WWI service in Germany. And the so-called "father" of the American "gay rights" movement, Marxist Harry Hay, was seduced into homosexuality as a pubescent teen by a grown-up former boy-toy of one of Gerber's co-founders. Hay's network of "gay" Marxist cell groups, and "in the closet" allies such as Alfred Kinsey, literally spearheaded the "sexual revolution" as a weapon against the cultural primacy of marriage-based heterosexual normalcy in America – the literal fulfillment of Marcuse's plan.

How did Germany become such a center of evil in the world? I contend in my book "Dynasty of Darkness" that it was related to the excavation and acquisition by Germany of the Pergamum Altar, identified in Revelation 2 as the "Seat of Satan … where Satan dwells." I have chronicled how Kaiser (Caesar) Wilhelm II, the final emperor of Second Reich, considered his reconstruction of the Pergamum Altar in Berlin as his highest achievement, and how the process precisely tracks Germany's descent into great evil, including Fredrich Nietzsche's infamous declaration that "God is dead," escalating through the German instigation of both World Wars, and the rise of the demonic European Union (the model for the one-world government of the Antichrist) upon the reunification of Berlin (after the collapse of the Soviet "Evil Empire," which possessed the altar as a property in East Berlin from 1961 to 1990).

Nazis on the Pergamum Altar.

I also show how the United States' possession of it from 1945 to 1961 (as the dominant Allied power occupying Germany) tracks precisely with the two landmark SCOTUS rulings that officially shifted America off its biblical foundation onto the quicksand of Secular Humanism, and empowered militant atheists to purge Christianity from public life. During that same short window we also established the United Nations' global headquarters in Manhattan on land donated by the Rockefellers.

I wrote this column to convey three truths. First, that our national collapse into depravity and delusion is entirely orchestrated by wicked men whose actions can be tracked historically if one dares to do so. Second, that what we are experiencing today is literally the rise of the last-days Antichrist Kingdom, meaning our duty of evangelism has never been more urgent. And third, that America's "normalcy" before the 1960s was a reflection of our collective conformity to "the Laws of Nature and Nature's God." That witness of the natural world is our bridge to evangelize the lost post-boomer generations (and many of our own peers) who have been thoroughly conditioned to reject and even mock traditional evangelistic methods.

Europe must 'become an Empire' to rival China and the US, a French minister said yesterday. 

Economics and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said the EU must project its power around the globe to promote peace and protect the environment.

He told German newspaper Handelsblatt: 'It's about Europe having to become an Empire, as China is. And how the US is. But a peaceful empire that relies on green growth. Neither China nor the US, who are leaving the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, are on this line.'

 Economics and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire (right with EU President Jean-Claude Juncker) said the EU must project its power around the globe to promote peace and protect the environment

Asked why he used the controversial word empire, Mr Le Maire clarified: 'Do not get me wrong, I'm talking about a peaceful empire that's a constitutional state. I use the term to raise awareness that tomorrow's world will be shaped by the powerful. 

An increasingly popular idea is that whenever races clash, only minorities can be victims. The notion is hardly limited to the recent riots in America. Elements of such thinking often appear in other contexts.

British women, for instance, including rape victims who drew attention to "Asian" (Pakistani and South Asian) sex grooming gangs, are also being attacked by the "woke" establishment.

Earlier this month in the UK, Sarah Champion, a Labor politician and MP for Rotherham (the epicenter of sex grooming), was accused of "fanning the flames of racial hatred" and "acting like a neo-fascist murderer." Her crime? She had dared to assert that "Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls."

Editor's Note from Robert R. Barney... The following is not written by me. It is the study of some of the traditions of both the Catholic and Protestant churches by the Reverend Alexander Hislop, in his book "The Two Babylon's" from the 19th century. For those who are truly interested in the pagan origins of many of the things our churches do, this book is exceptional! The following is about the Pope's Mitre (Hat).
