Washington Plans Favor For Shariah-Run Society
Latest From Brunei’s Muslim Regime:
Banishing Christmas Decorations
Banishing Christmas Decorations
By Curtis Ellis — UNITED NATIONS – On Christmas Eve, religious police in the capital city of the Islamic Sultanate of Brunei ordered business owners to remove Christmas decorations or face arrest.When Brunei, a tiny oil-rich fiefdom that shares the island of Borneo with Malaysia and Indonesia, adopted Shariah law earlier this year, some questioned whether the harsh penal code that includes amputation and stoning for blasphemy and other crimes would actually be enforced since a third of Brunei’s population is not Muslim. The crackdown on Christmas this year answers the question.
Restaurant and café owners in Brunei’s capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan told reporters they were ordered to remove Christmas decorations from their establishments by authorities who cited Shariah Penal Code Order 2013 prohibiting exhibits of decorations that are against Islamic beliefs.
Violators face a $15,000 fine and imprisonment for a term of up to five years.
The ban on Christmas decoration is not the only restriction on religious freedom. The Shariah penal code bans non-Muslims from teaching or even speaking freely to Muslims about their religious beliefs, punishable with heavy fines and imprisonment.
And all religious groups are required to register with the government. Muslims who convert to another faith could face the death penalty, and Christians who have brought Bibles into the country have been imprisoned.
Despite the nation’s record of religious persecution, the Obama administration is pressing forward with plans to designate the Sultanate of Brunei as a most favored nation with special trade privileges under the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said approving the agreement is one of his top priorities.
During the Cold War, Democrats and Republicans restricted trade with countries that denied their citizens basic freedoms.
For example, the Jackson-Vanik amendment cut off trade with communist nations that did not allow citizens to freely emigrate. It was approved unanimously in both houses of Congress in 1974 over the objections of Henry Kissinger, who saw it as an obstacle to a smooth-running global order.
Jackson-Vanik and similar measures used America’s economic power as the world’s largest consumer market to promote American values and reward countries that respected them. Over 1.5 million Christians and Jews were allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union alone following the adoption of Jackson-Vanik.
Now that the threat is not communism, but Islamist totalitarianism, Obama and the GOP congressional leadership are ready to embrace a Shariah regime as a privileged trading partner under the rubric of the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement.
The TPP is a trade and global governance agreement the Obama administration is negotiating with eleven Pacific Rim nations: Vietnam, Brunei, Singapore, Chile, Malaysia, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Mexico and Peru.
Brunei is not the only nation in the proposed agreement with a record of persecuting Christian believers. In neighboring Malaysia, Christians are sent to concentration camps for forced conversion to Islam. Vietnam requires churches to register with the Communist authorities and monitors all prayer services. House churches are routinely attacked and priests have been murdered.
A most-favored-nation trade agreement
with a regime that tramples on religious freedom
signals the world that the U.S. government believes
religious freedom is not important, critics contend.
The Trans Pacific Partnership is being negotiated in secret by the Obama administration. President Obama has said he hopes to conclude negotiations by mid-2015. Sen. Mitch McConnell has said he will work with the White House to give Obama so-called “fast track” trade promotion authority. Under fast track rules, the president would sign the agreement before submitting it to Congress where a filibuster and any amendments would be barred.
Once approved, the Trans Pacific Partnership would establish a precedent for accepting Shariah religious persecution under international law....
Christians And Churches Attacked In The West
By Raymond Ibrahim, Frontpage Mag — “You have a cross on… Do you know what we do to people like you?” — Muslim in Denmark.Muslim Fulani gunmen forced their way into the church, cut [the pastor], his wife and a daughter with a machete, and then tied the hands and feet of the three of them before setting the building on fire… We only found the charred remains of the three of them in the morning. I heard them shouting at the top of their voices, saying they must obliterate any traces of Christianity in the town.” — Eyewitness account, Nigeria.
Each year, approximately 1,000 women in Pakistan are forced to convert to Islam and marry Muslim men. Whenever a case of this nature reaches the law courts, those women, under threat and blackmail, often declare that their conversion and marriage were decisions freely made, and the case is closed.
The Muslim persecution of Christians in September started making prominent appearances not just in the Islamic world, but also in the West—in America, Australia and Europe....

Is Obama Helping To Create An Axis Of Evil Against America?
By Tim Powers, Western Journalism — The conjecture over the past seven years has been that Barack Hussein Obama, being raised in communist and Muslim circles, has a clear disdain for America. Although those of us who believe this have been called nut jobs and wacko extreme right wingers, the evidence speaks for itself. All one has to do is look.There will be no specific order here in the examples, but they will clearly speak for themselves. In his tenure as POTUS, Obama has destroyed the American economy, spent us into oblivion, created the biggest welfare state that anyone has ever seen, and left our southern border wide open, allowing illegal CRIMINALS to cross into the United States in order to reap the fruits of OUR labor.
He has ignited new race wars across the nation, militarized civilian police forces, and decimated the strength of the United States military. All the while having secret talks with Iran, Cuba, and China and playing footsies with Russia. President John F. Kennedy saw the imminent threat from Cuba during the Cuban missile crisis, otherwise he wouldn’t have had his State Department draft UN memorandum number 7277 calling for the total disarmament of the world by turning all law enforcement over to the United Nations. Research the current UN small arms treaty which is the third stage of take over by the UN in Kennedy’s memorandum.
As it stands now, we as a country are now entering into another cold war with Russia, and a cyber HOT war with Communist North Korea, with barely a peep from the White House. Obama is currently discussing sanctions against our long time, mid-east ally, Israel, while lifting sanctions against Communist-run Cuba. Are these the actions of a sane man who claims to love America? He will stand up in front of the UN and cry out against offenders of Islam and put a filmmaker in jail over a YouTube video while allowing one of America’s largest corporations to get hacked and have limitations placed on their first amendment rights by an outlaw Communist nation. Again I ask, are these the actions of a sane man who loves America?
I am absolutely convinced that Barack Hussein Obama is finding solace and joy in watching the once-great American super power circle the drain of history, knowing that he has had a major hand in securing her demise. At this point, anyone who believes even for a second that Obama has not accomplished his agenda against America is clearly an uneducated FOOL.

10 Threats Against Police The Media Didn't Tell You About
By Jim Meyers, Newsmax — The mainstream media has given extensive coverage to the slaying of two unarmed black men by police, the decisions by two grand juries not to indict an officer, and the demonstrations protesting those two events.But they have given far less attention to the recent threats and physical and verbal attacks against the police.
"Let's face it: There's been, not just in New York but throughout the country, very strong anti-police, anti-criminal-justice system, anti-societal initiatives underway," New York City Police Commissioner William J. Bratton said....

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
Regarding The Last Days
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” ~ Matthew 24:3-14
