What’s going on in Honduras?

Published by Robb under World News

As the Iranian revolt was starting to wind down.  I should say; “cracked down”.  The potential for  shock waves  world wide was feared by nations like China and Cuba.  As these two commie countries blocked images and media from the revolt in Iran.  And naturally, when you run a country with a paranoid Iron fisted secluded regime,  any images allowed in that could give any idea’s of an uprising would make me nervous too.

So anyway,  the headlines out of this Central American country came out as ” Honduras on the Brink”.   Brink of what?   The word brink usually has a bad connotation.  But in this case  I don’t think  it’s that  bad.  This country is on the threshold of  thwarting what president Manuel Zelaya  is trying to do.  Trying to radically alter that countries constitution.   Hmmm,  Interesting.

Let me ask you something.  Why did it take nearly a week for Obama to speak out against the brutality in Iran?  When Iranian youth took to the streets to protest an injustice.  When they took to the streets to protest and demand their votes be counted.  When they were in the streets fighting for a change in the fanatical religious run government.  Why was Obama hiding in a closet?  Didn’t say a damn thing until the likes of other democracy’s  began speaking out.  Like France, Britain, Germany  etc.   Obama was the last leader that harshly spoke out against Iran.   Why?   Continue Reading »

Air Force tests missile from California coast

Published by Robb under World News

 

 

The Air Force has successfully launched an unarmed Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base here in Southern California. Where it splashed down somewhere in the Pacific Ocean some 4,200 miles away.

Lt. Raymond Geoffroy said the ICBM was launched from the Vandenberg Air Force Base at 3:01 a.m. Monday and carried three unarmed re-entry vehicles to their targets near the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.   The missile, configured with a National Nuclear Security Administration Test Assembly, was launched under the direction of the 576th Flight Test Squadron.

The above video clip is of  the same missile  type  that was fired off early Monday morning.  This footage is not of the one on Monday.  Nonetheless,  It’s an impressive sight to see, as we have been able to witness these tests in the past.  The last one I saw was maybe a year ago or so.  This was when one was launched from Alaska and California sent one up to knock it down. Or maybe it was vice-versa?   At any rate, it’s an impressive sight to behold.

The Air Force says the launch was an operational test to check the weapon system’s reliability and accuracy, and the data will be used by United States Strategic Command planners and Department of Energy laboratories.

And it’s a about damn time!   This,  if nothing else show’s a little muscle flex to the zany antics and rhetoric of North Korea.  But was it intended to do just that? Did it give the right message?

North Korea seeing this test,  criticized the U.S. for “positioning” missile defense systems around Hawaii.  Kim Jong ill called the deployment part of a plot to attack the regime and said this would bolster its nuclear arsenal in retaliation.

Hey, anyone here a fan of Star Trek?  Well, don’t you think North Korea continues to act like a room full of rowdy drunken Klingons!  I’m not kidding!  Think about it.  The only thing they know is War and aggressive behavior.  They don’t know how to behave and act like human beings.  At least that’s the mentality I have been able to discern over watching these developments for years.  It’s  just a shame these Klingon wannabe’s have no honor.  More blood wine please!  

Tax long and prosper

Tax long and prosper

And since Obama seems to be the “logical Vulcan” with the pointy ears, it just fits so perfectly like a glove.  I’m sure Starfleet, err I mean the Obama Administration, are scratching their head’s trying to figure out what to do with that Junker ship too.  What would Captain Kirk do?    

North Korea is supposedly readying another missile again aiming it toward Hawaii.  And the very missile defense system we are testing and realizing we may need to save our lives, is the very system that liberals and democrats have been trying to abolish for years.  Amazing!

So, keep an eye on North Korea over the next couple days.  I think the heat will be turned up a few notches.  It’s going to be a wild summer filled with showdowns, threats and skyrockets.  

 Live long and prosper.  Until the next time.

Roman catacomb reveals image of St Paul

Published by Robb under Conservatism

 

Image discovered in Roman Catacomb
Image discovered in Roman Catacomb.

Vatican archaeologists using laser technology have found what is believed to be the oldest known image of St. Paul the Apostle, dating back to the 4th century.  This found in the catacomb walls beneath Rome. 

 The discovery, which involved removing layers of clay and limestone using lasers, was announced a day before Rome observes a religious holiday for the Feasts of St Peter and St Paul.  Both Peter and Paul are revered by Christians as the greatest early missionaries.  Converting on the road to Damascus following a blinding vision of Jesus, Paul took the Gospel to pagan Greeks and Romans and met his martyrdom in Rome in about 65 AD.   (Just a side note for you scholarly types.  It is said that Paul had trouble with his vision after this event. )

Friends, as I made reference to a few posts ago about the Ark and the rock quarry,  the same holds true now.  Buried and over looked by the big headlines of the day, comes a little blurb about another discovery with biblical connotation.  Is it just me that see’s this stuff?   Some may say I’m making a big deal out of this.  But those who have eye’s to see and ear’s to hear,  understand these subtle reminders.   I ask you to seriously look around.  Let this be a test over the next couple weeks.  Especially now in these times we now live.  Keep your eye’s open and be on watch for these blurbs. 

When headlines flash in big print.   MICHAEL JACKSON KING OF POP!   NORTH KOREA THREATENS NUCLEAR STRIKE!   US ECONOMY ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE!  HONDURAN MILITARY OUSTS PRESIDENT!   NOW HONDURAS ON THE BRINK!  – comes a little blurb  in the shadows of these big headlines.  A short small blip  of  St. Paul beneath the Roman catacombs.

The more crazy and turbulent this world get’s,  you shall begin to see more and more “discoveries” with biblical  implication.   A message  or slight nudge on the shoulder to those who hold to Christian faith?  A slap in the face  to those who have been asleep  such as I ?

But just as Rabbi Chaim Richman stated in regard to the rock quarry discovery a few day’s ago;

Precisely now, when the Moslems are trying to erase all vestiges of the presence of our Holy Temple, and when even among our own leaders there is a trend towards giving it away and viewing it as an unnecessary burden – precisely now, with this discovery, G-d is sending the Jewish People a kiss, as if to say, ‘Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten you.

And yes,  precisely now, when we have Muslims hell bent on forcing it’s zealous doctrine on all western civilization.  Unable to call a Muslim terrorist a terrorist, for not wanting to enrage a Muslim terrorist!  Being held hostage, walking on egg shell’s in your own country careful not to bring the fury of some fanatic upon you.  And when our own President white-washing the Christian nation he lead’s.  Down playing this nation’s Christian foundation from our Constitution.   Hiding symbol’s within a Christian church,  as if to see if  he could do it and get away with it.   Saying things like  ‘ We are not a Christian nation anymore,  but now looking at it,  we are one of the biggest Muslim nations in the world’.    Precisely now with this discovery,  God is sending the Christian people a kiss, as if to say; ” Don’t worry,  I have not forsaken thee”.   Continue Reading »
