Europe’s Dependence on the U.S. Was All Part of the Plan - POLITICO
Anyone who looks to Politico for a clear understanding of politics is naive and duped. This is just more BS from the Left.

'In April 2017, Politico Magazine published an article purporting to show long-term links between U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Jewish outreach organization Chabad-Lubavitch. The article was widely condemned, with the head of the Anti-Defamation League Jonathan Greenblatt saying that it "evokes age-old myths about Jews"' -- Wikipedia.

And do you know what this article said? "There’s nothing inherently damning about most of the ties illustrated below". So it was just BS.

Trump is NOT cozying up with Putin and that is an OUTRIGHT LIE. Just like Mueller's witch hunt. It is Hillary who cozied up to Putin and handed him 20% of America's uranium and raked in millions of undeclared dollars in return. This quote is from the pro-Hillary New York Times:

"As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well. And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock."

Why do so many Christians put so much faith in the "cares of this world". Are we not to pray for our "leaders" no matter what we think of them?
So divisive, there is NO moral majority!

I agree there is no moral majority. I think we are called as citizens of America to vote and to protect our institutions

And that is the liberal mindset: keep the sheep weak and dependent on the supreme state.

Time to grow up snowflakes - get a job!

You have the definitions and buzzwords all mixed up. It is the left that are the fascists, and the corporations are just the result of free and regular people working hard. You call bad good and good bad.

That is the Left-Liberal *progressive* philosophy in a nutshell. Everything that is good, decent, moral, ethical,Christian, & Constitutional is bad. Get rid of borders, law and order, the rule of law, and proper debate. Promote abortion, racial strife, MS-13, hatred for Israel, hatred for the police, hatred for conservatism and conservatives. If a Christian cannot see the hand of Satan in this, then he or she needs to wake up.

And what will be the end result if the Leftists have their way? All freedoms will be abolished and the state (read a dictator) will take control. It does not matter what label you use. Fascism and Communism are two sides of the same coin, and both have the word *socialism* embedded in them. And just to soften the blow they include the word *democratic* in their propaganda. Hence Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK).

So why aren't all the American commies fleeing to Cuba, which is so close, and a Communist paradise to boot? Well we know the answer. It is more fun to destroy America than sit in a jail in Cuba (since they would not tolerate any shenangians from unhinged people).

This one is always worth coming back to. Scripture commands that we live "peaceable and quiet lives," which means just going about our business instead of getting worked up over it. I'll throw my thoughts in the ring on politics when I'm bored and just wanna discuss things with other Christians, but I have almost no emotional involvement in it these days. When it comes to being passionate about the issue, I believe all believers should be passionately seeking God over it, not passionately getting contentious with one another.

Yes, Amen...I laud for the self control, lol...I certainly WANT to reply to some of these posts, just tired of the nasty, namecalling, Faux "news" propaganda...they put anyone who does not agree with them in a box. BTW-back in what was it, 1972? 5 out of the 6 Republican justices, voted FOR Roe v Wade...bet they don't "see" the hypocricy there and you don't hear this stuff. I remember back in the early 2000's, when Faux "news" was wanting to get into Canada and Canada would only allow that as long as they put themselves under an "entertainment" category, lol.

You need to look up the word Fascist
"A fascist is a follower of a political philosophy characterized by authoritarian views and a strong central government — and no tolerance for opposing opinions. Fascisttraces to the Italian word fascio, meaning "group, bundle." Under fascist rule, the emphasis is on the group — the nation — with few individual rights."

i.e., big left government keeping the masses week and needy, rather than self-reliant and self-governing.

Of course their worst enemy is a corporate group (people) that is big enough to compete with them for power. Corporations are people, citizens.

But sadly, you believe them when they point the finger and blame the people for the tyranny they themselves are guilty of.

Fascism

Philosophy: The state must gain glory through constant conquest and war. The past was glorious, and that the State can be renewed. The individual has no value outside of his or her role in promoting the glory of the State. Philosophies varied by country.

Key Elements: Actual idealism, centralized government, social Darwinism, planned economy, anti-democratic, meritocratic, extreme nationalism, militarism, racism (Nazism). Traditional and/or exaggerated gender roles. One party system.

Political System: One charismatic leader has absolute authority. Often the symbol of the state. Advisers to Government are generally picked by merit rather than election. Cronyism common.

Definition: An extremely nationalistic, authoritarian state usually led by one person at the head of one party. No democratic election of representatives. No free market. No individualism or individual glory. The State controls of the press and all other media.

Social Structure: Strict class structure believed necessary to prevent chaos (Italian Fascist). All class distinctions are eliminated (German Nazi). Nazism believes in a “superior” race. Italian Fascism was not racist in doctrine originally.

Religion: Fascism is a civic religion: citizens worship the state through nationalism. The state only supports religious organizations that are nationally/historically tied to that state; e.g., the Iron Guard in Romania supported the Romanian Orthodox church.

Economic Coordination: Businesses are nominally privately owned; the State dictates outputs and investments. Planning is based on projected labor output rather than money.

Free Choice: The individual is considered meaningless; they must submit to the decisions of the leadership. Traditional gender roles are upheld and/or exaggerated.

Ownership Structure: The means of production are nominally privately owned but directed by the State. Private ownership of business is contingent upon submission to the direction and interests of the State.

Discrimination: Belief in one superior race (Nazism). Belief in a superior nation (Fascism & Nazism). Gender (F & N). Mental or physical handicaps. Mental illness. Alcoholics. Homosexuals. Roma. Jews (Nazi). Ideological and political opposition, trade unions (F&N).

Way of Change: Government in a fascist state is the agent of change rather than any market or desire on the part of consumers. Change by government can be swift or slow, depending on a change in labor output or even at the whim of the dictator.

Economic System: Autarky (national self-sufficiency). Large public works, deficit spending. Anti trade union and syndicalism. Strongly against international financial markets and usury.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism,[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce,[3] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I before it spread to other European countries.[4] Opposed to liberalism, Marxism and anarchism, fascism is usually placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum.[5][6][7][4][8][9]

It is not for us to judge the poor, even if they could be "working the system"...we are to do what He tells us to.
