1. Brussels: Chocolate Capital of the World April 03, 2008 As the de facto capital of Europe, home to both the EU and the NATO headquarters, it’s fair to say that Brussels plays a vital part in European society and global politics, and if you were asked to name something that makes Brussels famous then its role as the capital of European politics is bound to spring to mind.

3. Why Afghanistan? January 26, 2008 Why Afghanistan? Afghans are asking it. NATO troops are asking it. The body bags are asking it. Mourning families are asking it. History will ask it. This reckless, unnecessary adventure that started out, some say, over oil pipelines. This reckless, unnecessary adventure that started out, some say, because the US administration fell out with a bunch of renegades they’d just welcomed as saviours to the White House, given them truckloads of arms and dollars to prove it. This reckless, unnecessary adventure that started out, some say, over 9/11, whose main perpetrators came, not from A... (read more) Author: DAVID LOVATTSMITH

4. Afghanistan, the Gates of hell January 19, 2008 US Defense Secretary Robert Gates is one hard nut. He can’t be any relation to the Gates of Microsoft, because there’s no space for soft in his world. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates is one hard nut. To prove it, he recently accused the Canadians, the Brits, and the Dutch, among other NATO allies in Afghanistan, of being softies. And he should know, because US Defense Secretary Robert Gates is one hard nut. The NATO-led force has almost 37,000 troops in Afghanistan. All of them softies, apparently. But not to worry. Day by day, there are less of them around to irritate the US Def... (read more) Author: DAVID LOVATTSMITH

12. U.S. and EU Strengthen Ties - Prophecy Train Tops the Grade May 11, 2007 With nearly every major facet of second coming prophecy falling into place in the last forty years, news of new ties between the U.S. and the EU leaves very little yet to be fulfilled. The ties between the EU and the United States are small advances and resultantly few are taking notice but future changes will be major as the prophetic time line peaks. There will be no stopping this runaway train. The Bible provides redundant warnings that when Israel is gathered again to become a nation that there is only one generation left before the second coming of Christ. Many eschatologists h...

America and The Anti-Christ - America will it submit to the world's last dictator February 16, 2006 Americans spend more time going over the prophecies of the bible than any other people in the world. They know full well of the coming of the person called the Anti-Christ, or do they?

His means are unique in every way. Unlike all dictators and despots before him who tried and failed, he manages to pull it off. He succeeds where others have failed because his approach is entirely different. Every want to be dictator or rule... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani
