251. Killing children for ‘research' or to save the life of another? - The Morality of Jackals August 08, 2015 The Jackal is in the dog family (Canis Aureus) and is a ravenous medium sized canine that scavenges and is capable of eating just about anything. In a “Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide” to one of the latest modernistic video games is a definition for those who call themselves the Jackals. It is like a page taken out of today’s moral scene in the once great United States of America. To wit: “The Jackals are no more than a handful of scarred and tattooed reprobates, scraping out a living by preying on anything weaker than them.” This definition can be transferred to the abo...

256. Satanic Statue Comes to Detroit - Is There No Price to Pay? August 01, 2015 After a long reign ,as the auto capital of the world, the beleaguered city of Detroit was last seen (2012) asking President Obama to bail them out since over 75 percent of them pulled the levers to get him re-elected to office. Now the city has become the host of Satan’s statue complete with two adoring, admiring and worshipping children as part of the display. On July 25, 2015 the city plunged to a new low as city leaders decided to allow the unveiling of the one ton statue of Satan (Baphomet) to be unveiled by the “Satanic Temple” after being rejected by the State of Oklahoma. Foll... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

257. IT contractor pay rates slashed by BNP Paribas. July 10, 2015 Contractor Accountants London will be feeling the pinch or walking away in response to a 'take it or leave it' cut in their pay that is set to be enforced by BNP Paribas from early July. The French bank informed all of its temporary IT workers that they would need to work for less money or accept the termination of their contracts. The lowering of pay by at least 4% is said to have "practically wiped out" some teams of IT contractors in Paris, where the bank's headquarters are situated. A BNP spokesman said to the ContractorUK website - which reported the story - that "external market co... (read more) Author: Smith Lara

258. Suicide Cleanup Support is Essential July 07, 2015 People who lose family members of close friends to suicide normally get to deal with some deep and complicated emotions that can greatly impact the grieving process. Suicide bereavement is completely different from the other forms of grief which makes it quite important that the parties involved get connected with persons who understand just what they are going through. The healing process could take a long time and support from others is necessary so as to make the process easier. In most cases suicides are unexpected and the family members are usually left with numb feelings not kno... (read more) Author: Richard Conard

259. Supreme Court Greenlights Perverted Marriage - A Dark Day for America June 27, 2015 Today June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court announced their ruling on Obergefell v. Hodges and decided that sodomites can now legally marry in all 50 states. The homosexuals are trumpeting victory, but thousands of Bible believing Christians and their respective pastors and church leaders are crying foul and have vowed to defy any attempt to make them complicit in the act of performing a “homosexual marriage.” Two of the Supreme Court Justices refused to recuse themselves even after they openly displayed their biases and preferences before the decision was handed down. They have broken t... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

260. There is Plenty of Money to Save Our Economy June 25, 2015 There is plenty of Money to Save our Economy As our government is technically bankrupt because of its debt, there is still a lot of money to be used to overcome the potentially disastrous path we are on. The only reason the country hasn’t gone bankrupt is because the President continues to print Trillions of dollars and borrow money to pay the bills. Anyone who has any financial sense at all knows that is a path to bankruptcy. We will soon be $20 Trillion in debt. You only go into debt if you spend money. That means that $20 Trillion went into somebody’s pocket. It wasn’t mine, and it mo... (read more) Author: Brian Reck

261. Big Government vs Small Government: Does it Really Matter June 24, 2015 Big Government vs Small Government: Does it Matter? There is little doubt that the direction this country is headed is one of socialism. Democrats are not the democrats of John F. Kennedy’s day. Nor are they the party of the working man or the poor. They are the party of government control. Having said that, the Republicans used to be the party of small government, but President George W. Bush doubled the amount of government under his leadership. They used to also be known as the party of the wealthy and received most of their money from the big business. Now HIllary Clinton and Presiden... (read more) Author: Brian Reck

262. Tax Reform: Not a Possibility June 24, 2015 We have heard politicians talk about tax reform for at least 20 years. The people love to hear about how their taxes will be simplified or cut. We hear how a flat tax will be simple and more fair. We now have presidential candidates saying we should abolish the IRS. It all sounds good, but nothing ever changes. So why doesn’t it? Let me start with an example. In 2005 California experimented with a tax return (ReadyReturn) that was like a credit card bill. The information the state had was already filled out (because they have all your W2s) and then it was sent to the tax payer to ap... (read more) Author: Brian Reck

263. Save Our Country: Real Change June 24, 2015 With the barriers that exist, the Democrats and Republicans do not have the ability to bring about real change. Although there are many who want to, they simply cannot bring Real Change. Because of the partisan politics and the influence of "big money," they are locked into a system in which they have no power or ability to escape. They can't fix the problem because they are the problem. Real change cannot come from using the same philosophy that was used to create the problem. We have a broken system that must be fixed before we can make any progress. It is like sitting in a broken down ... (read more) Author: Brian Reck

264. Spiritually Dumbed Down - Can't See Judgement Coming June 18, 2015 In the past week we watched Jeb Bush and then Donald Trump join the ever burgeoning melee of Republicans who have declared to run for the presidency. Both speeches were colored with promises and bold statements about America’s recovery. But little time was spent on the so called ‘social issues’ which of course are same sex marriage and abortion. The term ‘social issues’ is without doubt a misnomer and a rather cowardly and slippery means of putting the nation’s gross slide into everything fleshy and prurient on the back burner. The slide to pure perversion is seen as a social trend and in... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

267. High Court to Push America into Final Reprobation? - Time is Not on Our Side June 01, 2015 Contrary to popular belief and the nonsense notions of low information fanciers of everything nascent and pop-culture in our society, Satan is not the guy doing parlor tricks at the local gathering of witches and warlocks. He is the god of this world and the arch deceiver of men on all levels, but especially of those in high places. He gives political power, wealth and fame to whoever he likes. Some receive it for a price, like the Hollywood sellouts that will do or say anything on screen for spectacular remuneration. He gives success to those who will espouse and promote anything contrar... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

268. 5 Futuristic Predictions That Are Impossible Because of Karma and Fate May 25, 2015 The world is currently experiencing a technology boom and the future looks incredibly exciting. We believe technology and the overall standard of living will be exponentially more advanced, beyond your imagination, in the near future. However, many seemingly possible future life predictions won’t manifest due to the laws of fate and karma. Below we list seven. 1. Robotic and DNA engineers promise to create immortal humans. Simply go to your local DNA manipulation shop and free yourself from the restraints of the cycle of birth and death. Live forever, they say. This won’t happen bec...

269. 5 Year Old Boy with a Lesson for the Entire World - And a Lingering Question May 22, 2015 The news is rife with sad stories, tragedies and other matters not just hard to ingest, but hard just to watch. Like a shooting star or a beautiful sighting of the occasional firefly on a summer night, a story or clip will flash across the waves of the worst behaviors of mankind. It is these kinds of stories that spark the depths of the human heart, where, although deeply buried and desensitized, hope, kindness and the better nature of decent people resides. We may be brought to tears, inspired or re-warmed by the best things humans can do instead of the worst. The story begins in P... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

270. Three Trees - A Serious Warning to America May 18, 2015 The First Tree - Erez Rabbi Jonathan Cahn author of ‘The Harbinger’ introduced the parallel between the prophecies of Isaiah and the raising of the Erez tree in place of the fallen Sycamore after the events of 9/11. In the spring of 2014 even the Erez tree was completely removed and Cahn has explained that this means that America is not just in decline, but is facing an impending judgment. Few would dare to argue with Cahn’s declaration due to the rapidly changing social climate in America. Pop-culture trends are quickly replacing old moral standards and what was once unmentionable i... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

271. Voting 4 Reasons Not To and 1 Reason To Vote May 15, 2015 With the UK general election coming up in May and the USA having theirs in November next year here's a few things you need to know before voting. Like many towns when I was a kid our school was used as a polling station. Believing them to be true I can remember 3 sentiments that were deeply instilled into me from the voters' attitudes/opinions on voting and they were: - Voting was exercising your democratic right - Our forefathers had to fight for this 'democratic right' to vote so not voting was apathy - Choosing a minority candidate was considered to be a wasted vote since ...

273. The Bible Says: Not Global Warming, but Universal Cold that brings the Planet to its Knees May 05, 2015 Who would have thought that Christ addressed the controversial subject of ‘global warming’ slightly over 2000 years ago? In fact, he was silent on the subject, but was vociferous about the cold that would bring the world into a last day’s calamity of universal proportions. It isn’t the heat on the planet, but the cold that is in men’s hearts that brings us down in a ball of confusion that leads to a final judgement. If its love that makes the ‘world go round’ then it will be the lack of love that messes with its spin – not global warming. “Because of the increase of wickedness, the l...

274. Political/Royal Paedophilia Will Further Allegations Bring The House Of Cards Down? April 24, 2015 More and more information comes out revealing allegations of child abuse cover-ups with blocked investigations that were intended to unmask people in high places. We've been made aware that these people in high places allegedly range from senior politicians to royalty and pop stars. There was the case of a surveillance operation on the late and former UK Home Secretary Leon Brittan. According to an ex-police officer in the mid-80's photographs had been taken of him in an uncompromising situation with young boys: The day before the police were to raid the London building where the alle...

275. Why "Love" Does Not Justify "Gay Marriage" April 24, 2015 When blog trolls and the generally disgruntled leave the safety and anonymity of the blogs to email me and curse and complain I know I have touched a nerve. One such article entitled “Pop Culture Trends are not Morality – What Christians Actually Hate will Surprise You” brought email responses complete with un-refined language and long diatribes about how the perversion of “gay marriage’ is perfectly justifiable. One of the more common arguments which has been replayed a thousand times is the notion that “love” is all that is needed to greenlight or justify gay unions or “gay marriage.” ...
