Global Apocalypse 2016?



I know I'm not the only one out there who is feeling an energy rising that is going to lead to the apocalypse.  It's a feeling that keeps stabbing at me, telling me that we are being lead down a path of no return.  It's a feeling that runs through my brain and body day and night. I know there are a lot of you out there who are feeling the same thing and who are not even telling their closest friends and family.

My feelings are that no matter which way the election tilts, violence will ensue and that will give the powers that be excuse to buckled don't their control and hence taking away much of our freedom.

The peaceful freedoms enjoyed by American citizens are on the brink of destruction.  We think we enjoy these freedoms but we are manipulated by media. The media are owned by the powers that are pulling the puppet strings. What is real and what is just the reality that we are being lead to believe.

Example # 1: "the latest craze in Moscow -- is to find the nuclear launch codes and deactivate a hidden red button, which has already been pressed by a mad Russian general." - CNN

The above is from CNN. Is this an actual situation or is it fear mongering? I don't know.  Do you? Unless we have an in into the situation, we won't ever know the truth. Can we actually believe any of the leaders that have told us anything about this situation?

The drill that Russia performed, the nuclear drill, that the media emphasized was preparing for an imminent disaster...was it really preparing for an imminent nuclear situation?

"state-run television has sent mixed signals about the drill. RT, which operates an English-language broadcast geared for Western viewers but funded by the Russian government, claims the drills are routine and held yearly since 2012, and that 4 October is the country's Civil Defense Day. RT claims that in 2013, a similar drill was even larger in scale:This year’s exercise is not exceptional in terms of scale. For example, the drill of 2013 involved over 60 million people."  - Snopes

Because of Russia's human rights abuses in Syria, it has been kicked off the U.N. Human Rights Council. At this point, I don't think that they care.

While I don't doubt that Russia is bound to instigate the nuclear cascade, I also wouldn't be surprised by other players, namely North Korea, Iran or China.  All of these have been colluding in recent years against the United States.


The war on faith is being felt on a global scale. Is that being publicized through the media?  No. Instead, what gets publicized is the instances where the agenda of the puppet masters is interrupted, showing what might happen to you if you don't comply. The fear mongering. The hate. The violence.

War on family has been executed since the dawn of man, but as of late, new demons have been mixing with old to push the agenda deeper, quicker. The process of pushing out family values and the family unit has been pushed by the agenda of the puppet masters through groups who have been posing as those who care about LGBT rights.  As we all know, the puppet masters don't actually care except that these groups help move their agenda forward, The victims of those people who get in the mix don't actually matter to these puppet masters.  Hence this...

"Over a period of a few decades, activists for the LGBT movement transitioned steadily from their initial demands for equal protection under the law to demands for gay marriage, to denaturing the very construct of humanity by insisting on a gender free society, to promoting the right to force society at large to accept as infallible an individual’s ability to discern and to declare one’s self to be whatever sex one chooses. 

To put it another way, the LGBT agenda will brook no contradiction from the rest of us mere mortals to argue about the inerrant inner light of the gods and goddesses who declare themselves to have divine ability to transform themselves into any sex they wish to be. The “right” to be or not to be man or woman resulted in the fanatical demand that bathrooms must be retrofitted to conform to “gender free” standards, meaning that in practice either sex could use public facilities as they wished, including those who are physically men but believe themselves to be women." -American Thinker

With the willingness to incite violence if either party wins the election, people are being drawn out and influenced to amp up the talk into action. 


Even with all of these things going on around us, we still have the choice to act well.  We have the choice to be good to each other.  We still have the choice to believe that the human race can change its course.

Encourage your neighbors to join you in preparedness. Prepare supplies of food and water that you can regularly rotate but would help sustain you and your family for days, weeks, months at a time if there were an emergency.  

Love one another.

Battleground Tracking poll: Mitt Romney, Barack Obama tied
By: James Hohmann
November 4, 2012 07:14 AM EST

DENVER— With just two days to go until Election Day, Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are tied in the race for president.

A new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Tracking Poll of 1,000 likely voters — taken Monday through Thursday of this past week — shows the two presidential candidates tied at 48 percent.

It’s a fitting end to a presidential contest that has teetered on parity in recent months — Obama was ahead by one point in the Battleground poll last week, while Romney edged the president by two points the week before.

History shows that most of the three percent of remaining undecided voters probably won’t go to the polls on Tuesday, so the winner will be determined by which candidate can turnout more of their supporters in the 10 or so competitive states.

Obama continues to be perceived as the frontrunner. (bold added) Regardless of who they’re supporting, 53 percent of voters say they believe the nation’s first African-American president will win a second term. Historically, this question offers a good predictor of who winds up the victor.

The race is not just neck-and-neck on the head-to-head matchup. A host of fresh data reflects just how closely divided the country is two days before voters choose the next president.

Independents are now split evenly, with Obama up 44 to 43 percent. A week ago, Romney had a 10-point advantage among this key demographic. The ranks of independents shrunk partly because more right-leaning voters now supporting Romney identified with the Republican Party.

On the generic congressional ballot, Republicans are tied with Democrats at 46 percent. On this measure, Republicans led the last two weeks after Democrats had an advantage for much of the fall.

An identical number approve the president’s job performance, 49 percent, as disapprove.
Romney and Obama are now at parity on likability: 51 percent view Obama favorably while 50 percent view Romney favorably. Meanwhile, 45 percent of respondents view Obama unfavorably and 44 percent view Romney unfavorably.

Democrats continue to have an advantage on early voting, but Republicans closed the gap somewhat over the past week.

A full 27 percent of those surveyed said they’ve already cast their ballot. Of them, Obama leads 50 to 48 percent.

Another 58 percent who have not voted yet described themselves as “extremely likely” to vote. Of them, Romney leads 49 to 46 percent.

A week ago, 17 percent of Democrats said they had already voted and 13 percent of Republicans did. Now 27 percent of both Democrats and Republicans say they’ve already cast their ballots.

“We caught up with Democrats on the early vote,” Republican pollster Ed Goeas of the Tarrance Group, who helped conduct the poll, said Saturday.

Celinda Lake, the Democratic pollster who helped conduct the bipartisan poll, notes that the intensity gap narrowed: 57 percent of Democrats who have not yet voted say they are certain to vote, compared to 59 percent for Republicans

“The last week has been good for the president. We now just have to bring the vote home,” she said. “And in some ways that task is getting easier for the Democrats because we’ve already banked our harder votes to get.”

Obama appears to have gained politically from Hurricane Sandy — which battered the Northeast this past week — at least so far. (bold added)

Across the Northeastern states, the poll finds Obama up by 20 points, 58 to 38 percent. A week ago, he was only up 8 percent in the region.

New Jersey GOP Gov. Chris Christie, a top Romney surrogate, was seen on television praising Obama for his handling of the storm and toured the devastation with the president — even doing a joint press conference that generated powerful photo ops for the White House.
Obama expanded his edge by 2 points on which of the two candidates “shares your values” last week. He’s now favored 49 to 44 percent over Romney. The incumbent’s advantage on “being a strong leader” also held steady at 49 to 46 percent.

Goeas feels confident that Romney has the edge, especially because the sitting president is not breaking the critical 50 percent threshold.

“I’m still very encouraged by looking at the undertow of what’s here. I think there were some effects during the week with the storm: forced positive advertising, a little bit of taking your foot off the accelerator,” he said.

“One of the things that is going to be very interesting to watch is that Obama took ownership of the storm, [saying] ‘We’re going to make sure everything happens.’ He now has ownership of the storm, and the news coming out of there is not necessarily very good news for the next couple days.”

The president visited the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Saturday morning, and if power outages and gasoline shortages in places like Staten Island, N.Y., continue it could become a distraction for the party in power.

“Every campaign for an incumbent [has] I think the medical term that they use is last gasp,” said Goeas. “You’re on your death bed, and you’re kind of ‘ooooh.’ For a minute there, it seems like you’re coming back. And then it’s your last breath. I don’t know with the way things are going that the storm doesn’t end up being his last gasp.”

Romney has continued to build up an edge on who can best get things done, the key emphasis of his closing argument in rallies – including two in Colorado on Saturday. One month ago, Obama and Romney tied at 46 percent on this measure — Romney now has the edge by six points, 49 to 43 percent.

Obama’s standing on the economy remains potentially perilously. A majority of respondents, 52 percent, disapprove of how he’s handled the issue. Romney has a four-point edge on the questions of which candidate would better grow the economy and create jobs, 50 to 46 percent, in both cases.

Among those who name pocketbook issues at their top priority — which is 71 percent of the electorate — Romney leads 56 percent to 41 percent.

“The more they stay on the economic issues, the more you see Romney doing well,” said Goeas. “He still has a good lead on handling the economy, on handling jobs, on handling spending. He’s actually been increasing his margin on ‘can get things done.’ I think the combination of those things is the Romney message and the Romney campaign.”

Lake notes that Romney has consistently held an edge on who is better for the economy, but he hasn’t been able to close the deal. She does not see those voters breaking for Romney in the final hours.

“Basically Romney has not been able to translate to his advantage the fact that people think he’d be able to do better on the economy,” said Lake. “He has a 4 to 5 point advantage and isn’t translating it into the ballot.”

With very few voters to persuade, the underlying fundamentals of in the polls continue to hold static.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll



Sunday, November 04, 2012
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows the race tied with President Obama and Mitt Romney each attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and another one percent (1%) remains undecided. See daily tracking history.

These figures include both those who have already voted and those likely to vote. Obama leads among those who have already voted, while Romney leads among those deemed likely to vote. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of voters are projected to be Democrats and 37% Republicans. Both candidates do well within their own party, while Romney has a nine-point advantage among unaffiliated voters.

One key to the outcome on Election Day will be the racial and ethnic mix of the electorate. In 2008, approximately 74% of voters were white. The Obama campaign has argued that this will fall a couple of percentage points in 2012 with an increase in minority voting. Others have noted the increased enthusiasm among white voters and the decreased enthusiasm among Hispanic voters and suggest that white voters might make up a slightly larger share of the electorate this time around. It is significant because Romney attracts 58% of the white vote, while Obama has a huge lead among non-white voters.

If the white turnout increases on Election Day, it will be very difficult for the president to win. If it decreases, it will be very difficult for him to lose. Rasmussen Reports currently estimates that white turnout will be similar to the 2008 totals. Black voters, however, are far more likely to have voted already than any other segment of the electorate.

Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). 
Just over one-out-of-four Americans (27%) say the upcoming election has negatively affected their personal relationship with a friend or family member.

The Rasmussen Reports Electoral College projections now show the president with 237 Electoral Votes and Romney 206. The magic number needed to win the White House is 270. Eight states with 95 Electoral College votes remain Toss-ups: Colorado,   Florida, Iowa, NevadaNew HampshireOhio,Virginia and Wisconsin.

“It’s somewhat surprising that heading into the final weekend of the election season, we are unable to confidently project who is likely to win the White House,” Scott Rasmussen writes in his latest weekly newspaper column. “But the race for the White House remains close because of the economy. Most Americans do not feel better off than they were four years ago, but most are not feeling worse off either.”

Scott Rasmussen provides an overview of the election on this weekend’s edition of his new television show-- What America Thinks .  The program is seen on WLNY in New York at 10:30 Sunday morning and on more than 60 stations nationwide.

If you’d like Scott to speak to your organization, meeting or conference, please contact Premiere Speakers.

The Rasmussen Reports Senate Balance of Power rankings project the Democrats are likely to end up with 47 Senate seats and the Republicans with 46. Seven races remain Toss-Ups: Florida,  Indiana,  Montana,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Virginia  and Wisconsin.

Christians Targeted in India

Christians targeted: Families in India must convert to avoid death or expulsion
Families must convert to avoid death or expulsion

By Somini Sengupta

"BOREPANGA, India — The family of Solomon Digal was summoned by neighbors to what serves as a public square in front of the village tea shop.
They were ordered to get on their knees and bow before the portrait of a Hindu preacher. They were told to turn over their Bibles, hymnals and the two brightly colored calendar images of Christ that hung on their wall. Then, Digal, 45, a Christian since childhood, was forced to watch his Hindu neighbors set the items on fire.

"Embrace Hinduism, and your house will not be demolished," Digal recalled being told on that Wednesday afternoon in September. "Otherwise, you will be killed, or you will be thrown out of the village."

India, the world's most populous democracy and officially a secular nation, is today haunted by a stark assault on one of its fundamental freedoms. Here in eastern Orissa state, riven by six weeks of religious clashes, Christian families like the Digals say they are being forced to abandon their faith in exchange for their safety.

The forced conversions come amid widening attacks on Christians here and in at least five other states across the country, as India prepares for national elections next spring.

The clash of faiths has brought panic and destruction throughout these once quiet hamlets fed by paddy fields and jackfruit trees. Here in Kandhamal, the district that has been the location of the greatest violence, more than 30 people have been killed, 3,000 homes burned and more than 130 churches destroyed, including the tin-roofed Baptist prayer hall where the Digals worshipped. Today it is a heap of rubble on an empty field. where cows blithely graze.
India is no stranger to religious violence between Christians, who make up about 2 percent of the population, and India's Hindu-majority of 1.1 billion people. But this most recent spasm is the most intense in years.

It was set off, people here say, by the killing on Aug. 23 of a charismatic Hindu preacher, who for 40 years had rallied the area's people to choose Hinduism over Christianity.

The police have blamed Maoist guerrillas for the swami's killing. But Hindu radicals continue to hold Christians responsible.

Hate has been fed by economic tensions as well, as the government has categorized each tribe differently and given them different privileges."

Sabbath Day, December 23, 2007


What a great country we live in, this great United States of America, that we have the freedom to practice our religion.

"Freedom of religion is a guarantee by a government for freedom of belief for individuals and freedom of worship for individuals and groups. It is generally recognized to also include the freedom not to follow any religion. Freedom of religion is considered by many in many nations and people to be a fundamental human right."
-The freedom of religion as stated by Wikipedia

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Sunday is a day of rest from our weekly schedule of work. Today is a day that we reserve for worshipping our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

As this week is Christmas, I feel it is only fitting that I share the principles of our faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Initially, I'd like to share that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel.

Only faith that is followed by repentance is faith that saves.

Heb. 11:6
Paul writes to the Jewish members of the Church on faith, about A.D. 60
"But without faith it is impossible to please him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

2Nephi 31:19
Nephi writes, between 559-545 B.C.
"And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you , Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save."

A great relative of mine, President Spencer W. Kimball said,
"Signs will follow them that believe. He makes no promise that signs will create belief nor save nor exalt. Signs are the product of faith. They are born in the soil of the unwavering sureness. They will be prevalent in the Church in about the same degree to which the people have true faith."

Do you think that all people saw the new star in the east when Christ was born? Not likely. There were probably few who were faithful, who listened to the prophets of their times, who knew the signs of Jesus birth.

Would you know the signs of his second coming? Do you see them? Do you have faith, or are you exploring your spiritual nature at this time?

Many things are happening on this planet that make it easy to confuse our spiritual nature and almost silence that part of our birth right from our listening ear. If you use time to study, ponder, meditate and pray on spiritual matters, you nurture your spirit and that nature becomes stronger. With that increased spiritual strength will come an increased understanding of your true being, where you came from, who you want to become, what you want to leave behind.

For more information on spiritual topics there are many resources. However, may I stear you toward two spiritual resources this day...
