BERNIE SANDERS: “I WILL DEFEND PLANNED PARENTHOOD”
EVEN THOUGH IT SELLS ABORTED BABY PARTS
By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com — Put Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in the same category as Hillary Clinton — a staunch defender of the Planned Parenthood abortion business despite the fact that it sells the body parts of aborted babies.
In a recent interview, Sanders said, “I will defend Planned Parenthood” and said he thinks criticism of the abortion giant selling aborted babies is part of the so-called war on women...

HALLOWEEN IS THE BIGGEST DAY
OF THE YEAR FOR THE FASTEST
GROWING RELIGION IN AMERICA
OF THE YEAR FOR THE FASTEST
GROWING RELIGION IN AMERICA
By Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream — If you are a witch, Halloween is not just another holiday. For Wiccans, the festival known as “Samhain” is the time when the veil between the living and the dead is the thinnest, and so communication with the other side is the easiest. And as you will see below, it is also the time “when the god dies, to be reborn again on the Winter Solstice”. Many Americans are still very unfamiliar with Wicca, but the truth is that it is rapidly growing in popularity. In fact, it has been projected that Wicca will soon become the third largest “religion” in America after Christianity and Islam. According to the American Religious Identification Survey, the number of self-identified Wiccans in the United States grew from 8,000 in 1990 to 134,000 in 2001 to 342,000 in 2008. The New York Post recently ran an article which stated that some experts have estimated that the number of witches in the U.S. is doubling every 30 months, and that there may now be “8 million undeclared practitioners” of “the craft” in this country.
So needless to say, this is a group of people that is very much growing in numbers and in influence. And of course not all of them believe the exact same things. Among various Wiccan groups there is tremendous variation in doctrine and practice.
One common thread that you will find among many of them, however, is a disdain for “Halloween”. They tend to consider most Halloween traditions to be distorted Christianized versions of ancient pagan practices, and most of them are not really too thrilled with the mixing of the two.
For most Wiccans, the proper name for the day is “Samhain”, and it is a celebration that they take very seriously. The following comes from a piece that was authored by a self-described “modern-day pagan and real-life Wiccan”...

IS BARACK OBAMA ACTUALLY TRYING TO START WORLD WAR III?
By Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse — Why has Barack Obama airdropped 50 tons of ammunition into areas that “moderate rebels” in Syria supposedly control? This is essentially the equivalent of poking the Russians directly in the eyes. Much of this ammunition will end up in the hands of those that the Russians are attempting to bomb into oblivion, and so to Russia it appears that we are attempting to make their job much harder. And of course the truth is that there aren’t really any “moderate rebels” in Syria at all. Nearly all of the groups that are fighting are made up primarily of radical jihadists and/or hired mercenaries. Personally, I don’t see anyone over there that you could call “the good guys”. At the end of the day, the U.S. supports just about anyone that wants to get rid of the Assad regime, and the Russians are working very hard to keep Assad in power. Just like the civil war in Ukraine, the conflict in Syria is in great danger of being transformed into a proxy war between the United States and Russia, and many fear that these conflicts could eventually be setting the stage for World War III.

THE SOUTH CHINA SEA SYNDROME:
ANOTHER NAIL IN AMERICA’S COFFIN
By Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show — Sixteen days ago, President Obama and Chinese President Xi sounded as if they were moving forward in a positive manner. The only real point of contention when the two world leaders met at the White House was Taiwan. Oh, on paper, it appears that China’s dispute is with Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Look at the map below and make a note of what Island lies just north of the disputed area. It is Taiwan. This conflict is also about China building a defensive perimeter in the South China Sea and using it as a defensive perimeter, in a manner similar to what the Japanese did nearly three quarters of a century ago...

By All Self Sustained — China has told Moscow that they will join in the bombing in Syria from their Aircraft Carrier. This has HUGE implications folks. HUGE!
It is a well-known fact that the Nation of Iran today has two chief allies, Russia and China. They have stood by Iran through the thick and thin especially with controlling interest as permanent members of the United Nation’s Security Council. Without Russian and China, Shiite Iran would have been history decades ago.
Today again, they are proving that they will be prepared to stand in opposition to the United States and NATO because all four are vying for world dominion. So also the rest of the world’s prophetic nations are aligning themselves either for or again either of two global forces...

JESUS PRIVATELY BRIEFING HIS
(INNER CIRCLE)
REGARDING THE LAST DAYS
(INNER CIRCLE)
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.”GOT JESUS?
