‘News From An Uncompromising Biblical Worldview’
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus” ~ 1 Timothy 2:5
Heather Clark, Christian News Network — (WASHINGTON) Barack Obama and the Vatican’s Council for Interreligious Dialogue issued greetings this week to Hindus worldwide in observance of the religion’s annual festival of lights known as Diwali.
“I want to wish a Happy Diwali to all those who are celebrating the festival of lights here in the United States and around the world,” Obama stated in a video message released on Wednesday. “For Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists, lighting the lamp—the diya—is a chance to remember, even in the midst of darkness, that light will ultimately prevail.”
Diwali is an ancient festival originating in India, and is considered the largest shopping season in the Hindu religion. In addition to hanging lights and sharing legends and mythological stories about battles between good and evil, Hindus offer prayers to one of more of their deities—most commonly Lakshmi, the “goddess of wealth.”
“I was proud to host the first Diwali celebration at the White House back in 2009,” Obama said in his recorded greeting. “And I know that Michelle and I will never forget the wonderful time we had celebrating Diawali in Mumbai with food, dancing and the company of friends.”
Obama has observed the Hindu holiday at the White House for the past six years, with Congress participating in the polytheistic day for the first time last year. As previously reported, legislators from across the country gathered on Capitol Hill in 2013 as diyas were lit and a Hindu priest chanted Vedic mantras. Special jasmine garlands were distributed to attendees, who also were marked with the traditional red tilak on their forehead. There has not been word as to whether Diwali will be observed by Congress this year.
However, as it did last year, the Vatican—the center of Roman Catholicism—issued a greeting to Hindus and called upon the world’s religions to coexist with each other.
“The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue joyfully greets all of you on the festive occasion of Deepavali,” the statement, signed by Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, read. “May the Transcendent Light illumine your hearts, homes and communities, and may all your celebrations deepen the sense of belonging to one another in your families and neighborhoods, and so further harmony and happiness, peace and prosperity.”

Zed’s prayer began with, “We meditate on the transcendental glory of the deity supreme, who is inside the heart of the earth, inside the life of the sky and inside the soul of the heaven. May He stimulate and illuminate our minds.”

‘Satan’ Tells Driver To Crash Into Ten Commandments
Investigation under way into destruction of Oklahoma City monument
Faith Under Fire — An investigation is under way in Oklahoma City into a driver who crashed into a well-known Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the state Capitol, breaking it into pieces.
The vandalism hit at one of the Ten Commandments monuments that has been challenged over the years by those objecting to the display of the tenets of Judeo-Christian faith. It, however, has remained on the grounds as part of the history of the state and nation.
Hiram Sasser, director of
Liberty Institute, which has worked on issues regarding the display of the Ten Commandments, said it was just last month that a judge in Oklahoma had ruled the display constitutional.
“We are shocked and saddened that someone would engage in such a hostile and violent act against a passive monument,” he said. “We are hopeful the ACLU and the American Atheists who have brought two separate lawsuits against the Ten Commandments monument will publicly condemn this senseless act of violence.”

Illegal Voting By Non-Citizens Threatens Midterms Outcome
By Sandy Fitzgerald, Newsmax —
Many non-citizens don't register or vote, but so many do that it could change the outcome of some of the neck-and-neck Senate races as Republicans and Democrats fight to gain control over it, warns a new article in the journal Electoral Studies...
Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn.,
won his 2008 election by just 312 votes, and that the votes cast by 0.65 percent of his state's non-citizens may account for that win, they said. In addition, the found that three-quarters of the non-citizens who were asked to provide photo ID before voting still ended up casting a ballot.

U.S. Marine Killed In Baghdad
As ISIS Turning The City Into War Zone
By Ben Barrack, Shoebat Foundation —
The U.S. Department of Defense is reporting that a Marine in Baghdad was killed in a “non-combat related incident” though there are no details of what happened. That absence of information is made more troubling by the fact that ISIS continues its march on Baghdad and threatens to take it: A U.S. Marine was killed in Baghdad in a non-combat-related incident, becoming the first U.S. servicemember to die in that country since the end of active U.S. combat operations in 2011. Thursday’s
death of Lance Cpl. Sean P. Neal, 19, of Riverside, Calif., is under investigation, the Pentagon said. He was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force – Crisis Response – Central Command...
Of course,
the Obama administration has not exactly burnished its credentials as a paragon of credibility. In fact, it has gone out of its way to assert that U.S. boots will not be on the ground in Iraq.
That is already patently false; Neal’s death would seemingly demonstrate it. We’re told the war in Iraq has ended but the U.S. embassy in Baghdad will soon be in a war zone if ISIS has its way. As Neal’s death shows, there are already American boots
on the ground in Iraq.

New Evidence In Fast And Furious Scandal Reveals Why Eric Holder And Valerie Jarrett Should Both Be In Jail
By Matthew Burke — New evidence obtained by government watchdog group, Judicial Watch, reveal that Obama’s most trusted and loyal adviser, Valerie Jarrett, was managing Eric Holder’s lies told to Congress in the Obama-Holder illegal Fast and Furious gun-running scandal, in which the regime was funneling American-made weapons into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
The scheme, which was intended to sucker Americans into giving up more of their Second Amendment Rights, resulted in the death of U.S. border patrol agent Brian Terry, as well as reportedly hundreds of Mexican citizens.
Only after Judicial Watch sued the Obama Regime did they turn over this latest information which ties Jarrett to the subsequent lies and cover-up following the deadly scandal. A federal court ordered the Obama Department of Justice to turn over the records over the objection of the bureaucracy.
Previously, the secretive regime refused to turn over the requested Fast and Furious records, even after Judicial Watch filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Buried deep in the 1,000-plus pages of records secured by Judicial Watch was the fact that Jarrett, who many have said is as close to Obama as no other person on the planet, was brought into the fray to manage Holder’s lies about the gun-running operation.

In June of 2012, race-baiting
Eric Holder became the first sitting U.S. Attorney General to be held in contempt of Congress for his Fast and Furious lies, including when he testified that he denied knowledge of the operation. The vote was 255-67, with 17 Democrats crossing over to condemn Holder’s obvious lies.

“Godzilla” Sunspot Takes Aim: X-Class Flare Thought To Be Responsible For Widespread Power Outages and Internet Problems
By Mac Slavo, SHTFplan.com —
A massive sunspot dubbed ‘Active Region 2192′ has rotated into an earth-facing position. NASA says the Jupiter-sized magnetic anomaly on the sun is crackling with energy and several days ago it fired off an X-class flare right in earth’s direction. Then, yesterday, it launched another flare that was measured to be five times more powerful than the first.
Though the classification of both flares was fairly low and rated in the 1.0 to 2.0 X-class range, the earth’s power and internet infrastructure has experienced some unusual effects over the last 48 hours.

ISIS ‘School of Jihad’ Teaches Torture, Beheading,
Gunmanship To Children
By Jordan Schachtel, Breitbart —
Official Islamic State media entities have been promoting a video titled “School of Jihad,” which shows children, some younger than ten, being taught how to behead and torture "infidels" and learning how to properly handle automatic rifles. One of several official media wings of the Islamic State reportedly produced the jihadist video, which shows children varying in age from eight to fifteen, who are attending the “School of Jihad” graduation ceremony.
The UN has recently announced that it found evidence of the Islamic State establishing “training camps to recruit children into armed roles under the guise of education," the UK's Independent reports. At the camps, the children recruited received weapons training and religious education.” Additionally, the UN noted that “the existence of such camps seems to indicate that ISIS systematically provides weapons training for children. Subsequently, they were deployed in active combat during military operations, including suicide-bombing missions.”

NYC Officials: Ebola Patient Rode The Subway Just Hours Before Level-4 Biohazard Infection Confirmed
By Mike Adams, Natural News —
Ebola is now confirmed in New York City. I've just finished watching the press conference with Cuomo, de Blasio and Dr. Mary Travi Bassett, and what I'm hearing from these people is extremely irresponsible to public safety.
For starters, every official in the press conference repeated over and over again that there was near-zero risk of anyone contracting Ebola from Dr. Spencer, even though he visited bowling alleys, rode in an Uber car and traveled in the NYC subway system just hours before being confirmed positive with Ebola. Yet as Dr. Bassett explained, once Dr. Spencer had a fever, he was "removed from his home in an orderly manner" by health workers who were "wearing full protective gear."

Informing And Equipping Americans Who Love Freedom
Houston, You’ve Got A Problem; It’s Called Islam
And your lesbian mayor ignores the reality
that lesbians rank high on Islam’s hit list.
Bethany Blankley — While Houston’s lesbian Mayor Annise Parker and her City Council pals subpoena and obsess over Christian ministers’ sermons, she ignores incomparable and immanent threats to Americans posed by Islamists in Houston.
Houston’s First Amendment squabble is, as Texans say, “peanuts,” compared to actual ongoing violations of Article III Section 3.
To put the enormity of Houston’s crisis into context, the nation’s fourth largest city is a primary arrival and distribution center for illicit drug smuggling. The billion dollar trade of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, oxycodone, and methamphetamine has profoundly increased Houston’s violent crime rate, which for years has more than doubled the national average.
Houston is the third largest hub for human trafficking in the U.S. According to the FBI, the largest number of reported trafficked children is enslaved in Houston.
Within this trafficking network exists a steady infiltration of Islamists, funded and supported by IRS-sanctioned non-profit “religious” organizations such as CAIR, the Islamic Society of Greater Houston, the Al Maghrib Institute, the Muslim Brotherhood, Muslims of America (MOA), the Muslim Model Community of Texas, First Muslims of Texas, and others. Islamists are funneled to MOA’s Dawah Center in Houston, a “worship” or “outreach” center that teaches, networks, and relocates Islamists to other parts of the state or country.
[See full story link below for entire article]...
Islam literally means “submission” to Allah: conversion or death. And Jews, women, and gays rank highest on the Islamists’ hit list. Yet, instead of deportation, arrests, warrants, or subpoenas—Houston’s Islamic non-profit organizations receive millions of dollars in federal grant and taxpayer money, and permits and licenses from Parker’s office.
And still, Annise Parker remains fixated on Christian ministers’ sermons....
Iraqi Officials Say ISIS Militants Used Chlorine Gas
Associated Press, The Daily Star Lebanon —
BAGHDAD: ISIS militants used chlorine gas during fighting with security forces and Shiite militiamen last month north of Baghdad, Iraqi officials said Friday. The disclosure comes on the heels of similar reports from the Syrian border town of Ain al-Arab, indicating that the extremist group may have added low-grade chemical weapons to an arsenal that already includes heavy weapons and tanks looted from captured military bases.
Three Iraqi officials – a senior security official, a local official from the town of Dhuluiya and an official from the town of Balad – told the Associated Press that ISIS used bombs with chlorine-filled cylinders during clashes in late September in the two towns.

Ebola spread to the sixth West African country as a 2-year-old girl succumbed to the disease in Mali, opening a new front in the effort to prevent the outbreak of the deadly viral infection from spreading further.
The toddler, who traveled from Kissidougou, Guinea, with her family to Mali and who tested positive for Ebola after being hospitalized died, Abdoulaye Cisse, a spokesman for the World Health Organization in the country, said by phone today.

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
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
Mekudeshet, the ecumenical meeting happening in Jerusalem, was prophesied of by Jesus and Daniel the prophet. What is happening is that the Vatican is trying to fake a millennial reign without The Messiah, trying to bring a false peace. Daniel says it will fail, wait until you see what Jesus said.”
