Will the Glitzy Carrots of Western Materialism and the Stealthy Sticks of U.S. Military Prowess Suffice?
Although the divisions were present long before October 7th, 2023 when Hamas attacked. The statements of N.A.T.O.'s military leader in the Middle East, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Leader of Turkey, were astounding in their usual way.
Consider Erdogan; Who described Hamas as, "Liberators," and the
Israelis, who suffered the attack as, "War Criminals."
In the video below, he calls members of the Islamic world to unite against a feared Western response to the October 7th Hamas attacks.
Here he threatens, Holy War, against the Western powers that he calls modern day Crusaders. In his speech, Erdogan promises to utterly defeat any who resist submission to the, "Peace," that Islam offers. Hear him in the videos below.

And now, contrast Erdogan's vision of a revived Islamic Caliphate with those that acclaim that Netanyahu will play a significant role in the coming of the Jewish Messiah. This video was presented as a Turkish media broadcast. Was it presented to inform, or provoke Islamist loyalties for fighting in an apocalyptic conflict?
Adaptable and Pragmatic Erdogan; Who overlooks Emperor Xi's horrific abuse of Uyghur Muslims and Putin's symbolic allegiance to Russian Orthodoxyto embrace their military power.
Today Erdogan has also aligned with these leaders along with a multitude of other world leaders to support the BRICS global monetary effort. This effort seeks to displace the U.S. dollar
as the world reserve currency.
If successful, this act could nullify the effects of Western sanctions on Russia and China and severely cripple U.S. Economic and Military power through a global de-dollarization event.
In light of these threats, today's sitting President, Donald Trump has worked tirelessly to assure international trade and investment agreements in dollars on unprecedented global scale.
New currency proposed for BRICS bloc - Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa - to rival dollar
And even more troubling, could the vast array of NATO armaments under Erdogan's control be turned against Israel and Western powers to become history's greatest donation of armaments ever!
A donation even greater than former President Biden's donation to the Taliban of Afghanistan.
Will Erdogan's actions seek to maintain peace, or ignite the political turmoil, social chaos and growing global instability.
As far as Armageddon goes, the armaments' have already been distributed and the armies are rapidly organizing in the Middle East and across the globe.
Are you ready?
Today's urgency is so intense that even historic Islamic animosities are being set aside. Could the historic conflict between Turkey and Iran also be sidelined? Could they join in a new allegiance against the West.
The Sunni's and Shiite's have differed mostly on who they see as the true successor to Prophet Muhammad. Sunnis follow Abu Bakr as rightful successor, and the Shiit's, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law. This hostile split has fractured the Muslim world for centuries. Could they now unite?
And now, Russia touts new armaments! Hyper-sonic nuclear missiles! while both Iran and Russia send countless drones to reek havoc in both Israel and Ukraine.
Today, the armies are aligned and in place. The rotting moral fruit of both Eastern and Western Social policies have ripened and are falling freely from their branches.
And today we are assured that A.I. can assist us as it begins to monitor our every action and even measures our thoughts and intent through deciphering our requests and reviewing our writings.
And yes... Today, many have already received monetary system body markers like those described in the Bible.
Are you ready? You can be. And you needn't be afraid. But if you are like I was. You will need to stop relying on the kind of Serpent Wisdom that see's destruction as the ultimate solution. Consider their example in the picture below. Both snakes died. One from venom and the other from asphyxiation.
On a much more encouraging note. Some in the Netherlands are proclaiming a
different purpose and and response to this warfare based on faith, hope and promise rather than conquest and domination.
And finally, if you are curious to learn more about Biblical End Times and some of the parallels we are seeing around us. I thought the video in the link below and others by this author were informative.
The first portion of Bishop Budde's message from the January 25th Presidential Inaugural Prayer Service, contained the most eloquent and inviting call for respectful cooperation and functional unity I have ever heard!
But as she continued, her focus shifted, from promoting a truly diverse and informed, caring consensus, to highlighting inflammatory policy disagreements on some of today's most controversial and socially divisive topics.
Although ideas of unity and showing compassion through mercy remained talking points. Her actions were neither compassionate or merciful as she publicly chastised rather than honoring our newly re-elected President at his own Inaugural Prayer Event.
But we should not be surprised, considering her past social activism in promoting social division. The sermon below clearly shows her commitment to our continuing, "Culture of Change."

Instead of honoring a diverse point of view she disagreed with. Her speech became an opportunity to instruct
and grandstand her support of the causes she preferred to promote. Her disregard was consistent with her cultural view.
If you haven’t noticed yet, we have been living in a, “Culture
of Change,” for some time.
It was President Obama who campaigned on the promise of
bringing, “Change to America.”
And through his administration and continuing
forward a, “Cultural of Change,” truly did come with long deep, lasting roots that we have actively spread across the globe with an intensity comparable to California's wildfires.
US sponsored, "Cultural Change," on a global scale.

Shortly after President Trump's first election, I wrote about a very intense expression of, “Cultural Change.” Our Post Election Riots. It is available in the blog link pictured below. I wrote it immediately after
returning from our visit to Israel.
The series of Post Election, BLM, and George Floyd Riots created a near continuous series of protests that often escalated
from peaceful marches to violent and destructive rioting. Their well organized consistency and effectiveness in securing favorable legislation, as well as their ability to evade legal consequence made their effort much like the, staged outrage riots of, "Kristallnacht, in 1938 and following that ushered in Hitler's forceful, "Cultural Changes," across Germany and much of Europe.
I compare the similarities in tactic and outcome between ours and theirs in the blogpost below.
Now, following his re-election in November, 2024, I wonder. Will it happen again?
And will this unique gesture by Bishop Budde’ help to assuage
the flames of lawless destruction that came at Trump’s first election, or reignite
them? It certainly has gotten a lot of attention. Hopefully it will have a cathartic effect with those sharing it so
vociferously. Hopefully they will follow her words rather than her example and be more merciful to their neighbors and public servants than the protesters of2017 and following.
Consider; were the Bishop’s statements truly about,
“mercy?” Or were they about who we choose to show mercy too? And similarly, who
we should choose to ignore?
Do you think the sermon would have been different if Kamala Harris were
President? Is Kamala Harris truly more merciful in her actions and attitudes than
Donald Trump?
Kamala was not shy about stating her position on social self
control. She shared her perspective very clearly on the Steven Colbert Show in
June of 2020. See it in the link below.
In it she shares her passion and leadership focus. It is
important that we stop and actually listen to hear what she is saying. It is
very clear. She said it over and over.
Repeatedly she stated her approval of the turmoil that was happening on the
streets across America
during the riots. She did not condemn or discourage. Not even the violence and
destruction. This is in direct contrast with the (merciful) theme expressed by
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who preached passive resistance and nonviolence.
This (mercy) was most likely, "the theme,” of the protests she attended as a child
with her parents.
At that time, King’s, “Peaceful,” approach allowed Christian leaders like Billy
Graham to activate large portions of the nation’s Christian community (white,
black and other) across the south to nonviolently (resist) the unjust
segregation laws by voluntarily attending his unsegregated rallies. In effect,
their attendance was a, “protest,” that violated segregation laws.
The, Freedom Riders,” acted in a similar manner, bringing expressions of nonviolent, nondestructive attention that on the surface, appeared to cause much turmoil, as they resisted the segregation laws of the south. But it was not the Freedom Riders that terrorized, assaulted and murdered. Counter activists with their lawless sympathizers attempted to silence the Freedom Riders through brutal murderous persecution.
Unlike Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., California Senator, Kamala Harris did not call for, “Peaceful nonviolence,” Not
with the intimidating Anti-Trump post election riots or with the BLM, George Floyd protest/riots. Kamala repeatedly
called for continuing, unrelenting FORCE. stating that the protests would not
stop? That they absolutely must not stop! Not until they FORCE the Government.
Not by petition or through organized voluntary civic action. But in
submission to activist FORCE the Government must accept the BLM demands.
As I said, I wrote the blog in the link above during that time. The blog is a
contrast of our present cultural movement with another movement that occurred
during the last century. It also intended to change the cultural value system of their nations in just one generation.
Touting superior scientific knowledge through their favored genetic perspectives, they assumed the task of saving humanity from what they viewed as genetic degradation. Like the assumed need for the social changes of today, their extreme cultural changes disrupted human ethics and religious beliefs and created social division.
Have you ever stopped to question the cost of the, "Changes," that are being demanding of you? Are you ever tempted to just seek comfort and avoid conflict by joining the defiant crowd and mindlessly parroting their loyal sentiments in our
ever-fluctuating, “Culture of Change?” It truly is the path of least resistance.
Between NATO and Hamas:
