The Mystery of Iniquity

Paradise Lost, Gustave Doré

"They, looking back, all the eastern side beheld Of Paradise, so late their happy seat, Waved over by that flaming brand; the gate, With dreadful forces thronged, and fiery arms Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon; The world was all before them, where to choose Their place of rest, and Providence their guide; They, hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow, Through Eden took their solitary way."

Paradise Lost, Book XII.






The Wall Street Journal‎ reports; "The National Security Agency’s targeting of Israeli leaders and officials also swept up the contents of some of their private conversations with U.S. lawmakers." The report continues: "Soon after, Israel’s lobbying campaign against the [Iran nuclear] deal went into full swing on Capitol Hill, and it didn’t take long for... [Congressional] intelligence officials to realize the NSA was sweeping up the content of conversations with lawmakers."

The WSJ further suggests that the NAS’ covert surveillance presents world leaders an insurmountable hurtle: “The NSA was so proficient at monitoring heads of state that it was common for the agency to deliver a visiting leader’s talking points to the president in advance. “Who’s going to... say, ‘No, I don’t want to know what world leaders are saying,’ ‘ a former Obama administration official said.’” So in the international card game of diplomacy, "one" man "literally" holds all the cards.

The President has appropriated for himself the ultimate power, a power revealed in the Snowden chronicles, that comes from knowing the thoughts and intents of the heart of every cyber-connected soul on earth. Something a "Watergate" world could never conceive in it wildest dream.

As the year draws to a close it is difficult not be amazed by the grandiose national and international subterfuge, intimidation, and blackmail consummated by "one" man. A "prototype" of what is yet to be:

"The mystery of iniquity": a man of sin, "the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-7).

The Coup

Via Sen. Jeff Sessions:

In the dead of night after 2am this morning, Congressional leadership unveiled a more than 2,000 page 'omnibus' year-end funding bill which would, among other things: fully-fund the President's refugee expansion; fully-fund sanctuary cities; fully-fund the resettlement of illegal aliens youth and their families crossing the border; lock-in tax credits for illegal aliens; and quadruple the highly controversial H-2B foreign worker visa being used to replace Americans as truck drivers, construction workers, theme park employees, and in blue collar jobs across the nation.

Sessions, the Chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee, issued a statement about the bill as it speeds to a vote before it can be read, observing in part that GOP voters: "have come to believe that their party’s elites are not only uninterested in defending their interests but – as with this legislation, and fast-tracking the President’s international trade pact – openly hostile to them." On the floor today, Sessions further reminded his colleagues that their duty is the American people - not special interests, immigration advocacy groups, or lobbyists for narrow business concerns.

Sessions observed that - as the omnibus paves the way for a huge immigration increase beyond today's record-breaking highs - that more than 8 in 10 American voters want the level of immigration in American frozen or cut, and yet the GOP-led Congress is about to surge it even higher.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau - even without these increases - immigration will add the population equivalent of 1 new Los Angeles to the country each 3 years.

The U.S. has admitted 59 million immigrants since 1965. As historical context, after the numerically-smaller 1880-1920 immigration wave, future immigration was reduced to promote wage growth for US-born and immigrant workers: there was zero net growth in the foreign-born population over the course of the next half-century (in fact, it declined markedly). Now, after five decades of unprecedented immigration, the U.S. is on path to add another five decades of unprecedented immigration on top of that - setting new all-time records every single decade to come.

Sinatra Turns 100

“I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened...” and what will be Frank’s "case" before the Lord of all the earth?

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way....

Paul Anka, “My Way”

The Demon Core

The Demon Core (a facsimile)

The "criticality accident" that occurred in San Bernardino yesterday was the consequence of an uncontrolled chain-reaction of "immigration embedded" Islam. It is sometimes also referred to as a "critical excursion" and represents the unmitigated accrual of a critical mass of "hate." Though dangerous and frequently lethal within an immediate area, the critical mass formed has yet to reach "supercriticality." However, as the unrestrained influx continues, the inevitable consequence is just basic physics!

On August 21, 1945, physicist Harry Daghlian, during a Los Alamos laboratory experiment to determine the fission threshold (criticality) of a radioactive mass, stacked neutron-reflective bricks around a subcritical plutonium core. Unfortunately, he accidentally dropped one on the metallic sphere. It went "supercritical"! He was 24. A year later physicist Louis Slotin, experimenting with the same plutonium sphere, also experienced a criticality accident. He was 35. Consequently, the plutonium sphere came to be known as "the demon core."

The demon core no longer exists; unfortunately, the same cannot be said for America's ever-accruing critical mass of "immigration embedded" Islam."

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Amanda Blackburn's "last will and testimony"
was published today.

Amanda Blackburn, during an invasion of her home, was shot multiple times as she tried to protect her toddler son, her husband was not present.

Amanda's "last will and testimony":
"I love you Lord. Glory and praise to You."

Written the day before she and her unborn child
were looking full in "His wonderful face."







Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Refrain:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conqu’rors we are!

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Helen H. Lemmel, 1922
