Zero Hedge: The question now, of course, is – what will Putin do in response to this action?
The New York Times: “The American middle class, long the most affluent in the world, has lost that distinction.
While the wealthiest Americans are outpacing many of their global peers, a New York Times analysis shows that across the lower- and middle-income tiers, citizens of other advanced countries have received considerably larger raises over the last three decades.
After-tax middle-class incomes in Canada — substantially behind in 2000 — now appear to be higher than in the United States. The poor in much of Europe earn more than poor Americans.”
Opinion: Long a target of ambitious politicians, the American middle class is being lied to on a grand scale. If the Federal government were truly for the middle class they would make excessive debt and electronic money creation that finances it illegal.
Quantitative Easing (QE) is killing the middle class and especially the poor by devaluing the dollar. I have this conversation over and over with friends and family only to be met with blank stares. I am not sure if they don’t understand it, or do - and don’t like to discuss it.
Once again:
When a government prints money – it devalues existing money - causing the buyer to use more dollars - to buy EVERYTHING. It will make the rich MUCH RICHER, and the middle class and poor, MUCH POORER.
Pardon me for raising my voice.
Intellihub: “Ukraine’s first president, Leonid Kravchuk, believes that Russia could usher in the end of the world as we know it, if Vladimir Putin doesn’t back down.
Kravchuk stated that Putin does not back down, ever! For several different reasons, it is becoming increasingly likely that war could break out in Ukraine as early as this May.”
Opinion: Leonid Kravchuk is not reading the same book we are. While WWIII and the Bible are compatible, we have time to prepare and warn those we care about.
Summary timeline - what to watch for:
1. Before a peace treaty with Israel and many (Daniel 9:27) happens, an all-out Arab assault on Israel is likely. In Psalm 83:1-8 the prophet details a 7 nation Arab alliance that has never before attacked Israel.
2. Either preceding, or during, that war Damascus is destroyed in one night (Isaiah 17:1;14).
3. Israel wins the war big-time (Obadiah 1:18).
4. The rapture of the Church, removal of the Holy Spirit, from the earth (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
5. Peace treaty/Rise of Antichrist (Daniel 7:8, Revelation 13:1-8).
6. Russia will have reunited the old Soviet Union nations, have a strong alliance with Turkey and membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Putin’s alliance with Iran will lead to the great war of Ezekiel 38-39.
7. Antichrist sets up world government/economic system/religion.
8. WWIII

Investors Business Daily Op-Ed: ”Public Trust: “Sixty-one percent polled say President Obama lies “some of the time” or “most of the time” on matters of national importance. Americans have to ask: Why do we let him get away with it?
Asked, “How often do you think Barack Obama lies to the country on important matters?” 37% replied “most of the time” while 24% answered “some of the time.” Twenty percent said, “Only now and then.”
Canada Free Press: “A nation without adequate energy production is a nation in decline and that has been the President’s agenda since the day he took office in 2009. He even announced his war on coal during the 2008 campaign even though, at the time, it was providing fifty percent of the electricity being utilized.
It’s useful to know that the U.S. has huge coal reserves, enough to provide energy for hundreds of years and reduce our debt through its export to nations such as Japan. It increased coal-fired power generation by ten percent in 2013 while Germany’s coal use reached the highest level since 1990. Both China and India are increasing the use of coal. So why is coal unwelcome in the U.S.? Because Obama says so.”
Opinion: In other economy-killing news, it was announced yesterday that the Canada pipeline has once again been postponed; undoubtedly, to protect the Dem’s suffering from the ObamaCare roll out who are up for reelection in November.
Forget the 20,000 or more jobs and the billions in economic growth the pipeline would create. The president has made his antipathy toward domestic energy production from coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power abundantly clear since 2008:
“Go ahead and build a coal-powered plant — but it will bankrupt you.”
Front Page Mag: “The most terrifying aspect of the collapse of US power worldwide is the US’ indifferent response to it. In Europe, in Asia, in the Middle East and beyond, America’s most dangerous foes are engaging in aggression and brinkmanship unseen in decades.”
Opinion: The United States has turned on itself. You can thank progressive-left politicians supported by the mainstream press for the self-loathing of virtually everything that made America great. A fundamental transformation is underway:
Constitution:
Religious freedom:
Capitalism:
Military:
And possibly the most destructive of all the threats – the constant labeling of RACISM for disagreeing with President Obama and his administration.
