“If someone says they are going to kill you, believe them.”

~Machiavelli

He followed that statement up immediately with…

“…Prepare to defend yourself, not appease, because appeasement breeds contempt.”

Not just tyranny, not just politics. No, this is pure evil rising in a last-ditch effort to destroy America and the West. To implement a godless world serving that burning evil of world domination and the removal of any and all things associated with God, Christ, the Holy Bible, what is right and true, what is free and just.

If you think or believe it’s for any other reasons may I suggest you become keen on getting a Holy Bible into your hands and its words of life into your heart, mind, and spirit.

World War III is in progress, folks.

Perhaps the escalation will be tempered and slowed, perhaps not.

Iran is close to having nuclear weapons, thank you America and the West for making that possible!

The Iranian regime is not one strong in logic, critical thinking, rational thinking, and cooperation with those who are not Islamic. Their blatant daily “Death to America! Death to Israel!” should never have been ignored or silenced by Western politicians and media outlets.

If you do not accept or believe this is first and foremost a spiritual war that is escalating, again, I strongly urge you to get a Holy Bible in your hands and its words into your mind and heart. Believing the words contained therein.

It is quite possible that as World War III intensifies, escalates, and becomes accepted as such by many rather than few that its resolution could bring about the entrance of the Antichrist and his false prophet because the Iranians, the Islamic world — the overwhelming majority, not moderate, not acclimated, dedicated to the Qur’an believe such a war is necessary to make it possible to bring the long-desired Madhi into the world to establish a worldwide Islamic caliphate.

An axis of tyranny? Let’s begin really saying and writing what this is all about. What it has all been about since the beginning, shall we? It is evil working feverishly to remove God, remove Jesus, remove the Holy Spirit, remove the Holy Bible, remove Israel, remove Jews, remove anyone not aligned with its beliefs and agenda, or too oblivious and ignorant to see or hear or believe what is taking place and what has been and is really going on.

And why.

For the U.S., going it alone is not an option

Communist China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea want to divide and control the world.

Thursday, January 25, 2024

By Daniel N. Hoffman 

Reprinted from The Washington Times

During World War I, my grandfather served in the Navy, and his brother served in the Army. I never met my great-uncle, who died in his 40s as a result of being exposed to poison gas on the front. And my grandfather, like so many in my family who fought in World War II and Korea, had no interest in sharing his wartime experiences. They all wanted to live out their days, as the French philosopher Voltaire wrote, “cultivating their own garden.”

Among the 40 million military and civilian deaths in WWI, over 115,000 Americans were killed. In addition, 200,000 or more were wounded. At first, both sides expected a quick victory, but the war carried on with horrific carnage and unprecedented brutality.

After the “war to end all wars,” the majority of Americans understandably wanted to be left alone. In the interwar period, the U.S. pursued a policy of isolation from the diplomatic affairs of other nations while striving for economic self-sufficiency.

Benefiting from geographic separation from Asia and Europe and blessed with benign neighbors to the north and south, the U.S. enjoyed two decades of relative peace after the conflict — until Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor and Hitler’s subsequent declaration of war.

Today’s mood in America is reminiscent of that interwar period. After spilling so much blood and treasure in the “forever wars” in Afghanistan and Iraq, many Americans understandably want to avoid becoming entangled once again in world affairs. Two great oceans still protect us. Our powerful and supremely dedicated military, intelligence community and law enforcement professionals are exceptionally effective at keeping us safe.

But just as in the 1920s and 1930s, storm clouds have gathered on the horizon.

This century’s axis of tyranny — China, Russia, Iran and North Korea — wants to divide the world into spheres of influence that they can control. They may be long-term strategic rivals among themselves, but today, they support one another with military equipment, diplomatic top cover and a robust exchange of intelligence on their adversaries, principally the U.S. They seek to dominate and, when deterrence fails, attack vulnerable neighboring states with an eye toward dominating the global economy.

That’s why China is militarizing and laying claim to the South China Sea, through which $3 trillion worth of global commercial goods pass each year. Iran is using its Houthi terrorist proxies in Yemen to undermine freedom of navigation through the Red Sea, which accounts for 10% of world trade.

So, let’s start being intellectually honest with ourselves and seeing the world as it is rather than how we wish it were. We are facing more significant threats to U.S. national security than ever. We ignore them at our own peril.

We’ve learned that failed efforts at nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan were the equivalent of a black hole for our limited staff and budgetary resources. We should focus on realistic objectives ruthlessly in line with our national security interests, such as supporting our allies when they fight terrorists, deter aggressors, defend free trade and punish barbaric military aggression such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

And we and our NATO partners should enable and leverage allies around the world as “force multipliers” to deter emerging security threats, making it clear to would-be aggressors that they would pay too high a price if they attacked.

Our country is a beacon of democracy, the most reliable and valued partner in both international trade and security. The alliance of tyrants has us in their crosshairs because nothing scares Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and their cronies more than those who stand up for the principles of liberty, democracy and freedom.

Many nations share our commitment to free trade and internationally respected borders, but without our leadership and commitment to defend our common values, those allies will be no match against dictators who seek to do us harm.

Winston Churchill, who united Britain and the West in a common cause against dictators, would undoubtedly be ringing alarm bells in Trafalgar Square over this new, 21st-century threat to liberty, the defense of which requires deterring and defending against dictatorships.

Never hesitant to tell the unpopular truth, it was Churchill who recognized that trying to appease the dictators never works: “Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their time comes to be devoured. But … the storm will not pass. It will rage, and it will roar, ever more loudly, ever more widely.”
