I like what Mr. Robert Spencer does. A large number of articles written by him appear here on ACP, but that said…

NEWS FLASH MR. SPENCER, and all who are in great darkness and mired in the belief it’s all left versus right, liberal versus conservative, and suddenly, an Egyptian political analyst declares America is in a state of decline and it’s noticed.

America has been in a state of decline for a long, long time now. Many decades.

Only the delusion and busyness of everyone, the refusal to pause and look and listen and then be objective, honest and truthful keeps so many, so, so many from confronting the reality.

God is what it is all about.

Jesus is what it is all about.

And when a nation, a people make sin, every abomination under the sun, immorality, sexual deviancy, the murder of children, and the pursuit of pleasing Satan and following pure pagan practices and beliefs under the rebranding and top-notch marketing efforts of evil now called New Age, political correctness, environmentalism, feminism, wokeness, and so on.

It’s all been the same, is the same since the beginning. Since Babylon, Tyre, and every word in the Old Testament with regard to the nature of people and nations and idol worship and turning from God.

It’s fine to give some time and attention to current events. It’s actually necessary in order to understand the signs of the times, how the world erodes further and how much closer we are to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. ACP compiles a lot of these events here just for that reason. But to permit politics, a political party, a politician, or for that matter a nation and nationalism to take such precedence in a person’s life is exactly what the world wants, what Satan wants. Be so occupied in all of this so a to avoid ever paying attention, or enough time if one professes to be a Christian, in the constant continued pursuit of God and walking towards further sanctification.

Do not be consumed with the world and its ways and events unfolding.

It’s all leading to what is written in the Book of Revelation, Daniel, the prophets, what the Lord said. How it is, how it would be.

Anything here of a worldly, what is called secular nature is here solely for that purpose. To show the rapid, escalating, blind to it all decline of not only America but of the whole world. Consumed in self, consumed in sin, consumed and carried away in everything but that which they ought to be consumed and taken with.

How many are praying? How much time is spent in prayer? Real fervent, humbled, in the secret closet communion with God prayer? The most neglected act by every person on earth. Especially those who profess to be Christians.

Want to change the world? Prayer is the only;y way.

Do you believe what is written in the Word of God? Really? Do you know the references to praying, to those who prayed, and what it meant and what it leads to? Faithful prayer — the ONLY kind. Spiritual prayer — the ONLY kind to receive answers, results. Always asking “God, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, Your Kingdom come.”

God’s will.

Not our will.

God’s ways.

Not our ways.

We need to humble ourselves and submit and obey. Just as Christ did going to the cross. And what is that cross? What took place on that cross?

God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are in total control of everything. God’s work, God’s plan is at work. Not because we’re puppets on strings and there is no free will. God knows because God is outside of and beyond time and He is Omnipotent, All-Knowing. He knows every thought. Every action. He knows what people are going to do — and have done. Because of either sin or righteousness. Either in serving and obeying this world, self, and Satan — or in serving and obeying the Lord, and not self, but the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God.

America is in a period of decline?

No kidding.

Who really needs an Egyptian political analyst to tell us that?

Has anyone been paying attention over the past 50, 60, years?

And while Joe Biden is doing a horrendous job, a really bang-up great job for who he serves, but a horrendous job as to how a president ought to work it isn’t about Joe, or the Democrats, or liberals, or even America folks.

Wake up and smell the sin, the stench of the darkness. The lies and delusion. The banality and growing insanity — being given over to reprobate, wicked, unrighteous minds due to their continued disobedience.

It’s about OUR sin. OUR selfishness. OUR disobedience, OUR unbelief. OUR corrupting, perverting, and ignoring the Word of God. OUR idol worship. OUR following false teachers, heretics…OUR lack of spiritual growth and knowledge and understanding, discernment and wisdom of the Word of God and what it truly means to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. OUR neglect of faithful prayer.

OUR relationship with Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God.

Period.

ACP — A Crooked Path

The Biden Legacy: Egyptian Political Analyst Says ‘America Is In A Period of Decline’

Thanks, Joe!

The Biden administration’s abject incompetence and focus on anything except the well-being of Americans is leading numerous analysts to start talking about the decline and imminent fall of the United States. One among the chorus of voices in the Islamic world crowing about America’s supposed coming demise is Islam Al-Ghamri, an Egyptian political analyst and former senior official of Egypt’s pro-Sharia Building and Development Party. Al-Ghamri recently appeared on Turkey’s Channel 9, a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Arabic channel, to predict that the fall of the United States would happen fairly soon, possibly even during his lifetime. Thanks to Joe Biden and the people who are running his administration, the possibility cannot be dismissed out of hand.

According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Al-Ghamri declared: “America is in a period of decline and waning. I believe that American expansion and the American Era have come to an end, and a new era has arrived.” Referring to the recent catastrophe in Afghanistan, Al-Ghamri continued: “This era is introduced by this horror film. What is happening now is a starting point, a bugle call signaling that a new era is taking shape, and that the U.S. will never be the same after its withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is a historic and pivotal point in time.”

After making this bold prediction, Al-Ghamri immediately began to hedge: “How long will the period of American decline take? Years? Decades? It might take even more time, or maybe less, but the period of downfall, waning, and collapse has begun. Maybe we will witness the disintegration of the U.S. in the future. Maybe the U.S. will disintegrate, just like the Soviet Union did. This is a huge earthquake. When there is an earthquake, the land fractures, and collapses that were unimaginable in the past – suddenly happen. What happened is a huge earthquake that will strike Europe, the U.S., and the entire Western civilization.”

That may well be, and if Al-Ghamri turns out to be correct, the responsibility will lie with the feckless, self-serving, and treasonous leaders and guardians of the various outposts of that civilization, and principally with Joe Biden and those who are propping him up. After all, it was a good idea, and extremely long overdue, to get out of Afghanistan, but the disastrous way Biden’s handlers have conducted the withdrawal has handed a huge propaganda victory to those who hate this country. The day after Kabul fell, according to the New York Post, “pro-al Qaeda social media accounts published an unsigned statement congratulating their Taliban ‘brothers’ on the stunning military victory. ‘Afghanistan is Conquered and Islam has Won,’ read the message, translated by the SITE Intelligence Group. Similar statements emerged from Hamas, which welcomed ‘the defeat of the American occupation on all Afghan land,’ and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which hailed what it called ‘the liberation of [Afghani] land from the Western and American occupation.’”

Even before the debacle in Kabul, Khaama Press reported that Noor Wali Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, “was interviewed by CNN through intermediaries somewhere along the Pak-Afghan border,” and “acknowledged that the victory of the Afghan Taliban in Afghanistan is not limited to the country but it is a victory for the entire Muslim people in the world.”

Joe Biden and his handlers handed them that victory, and have clearly learned no lessons from what has happened. That was clear on Friday, Al Jazeera English correspondent Kimberly Halkett asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki: “Does [the president] believe he was given bad advice? And will he ask for any resignations of his generals given the high cost of American and Afghan lives?” Psaki responded: “No to both of those questions.”

And so no generals will be held responsible for the wrongheadedness and mismanagement that led to the murder of thirteen Americans on Thursday. As Daniel Greenfield has noted, they spent the summer imposing wokeness on the U.S. military instead of preparing for a safe and orderly withdrawal of our personnel and materiel from Afghanistan. Nonetheless, if Biden’s handlers had it to do all over again, they would. As long as the military is committed to “diversity” and the top brass are busy weeding supporters of the last president out of the ranks, all is well.

In light of all that, Islam Al-Ghamri may have understated his case.
