Libyan massacre that should shame Blair

Seven years ago Tony Blair shocked Britain and the U.S. by travelling to Libya and publicly shaking hands with the blood-soaked dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Even at the time, few could believe the then prime minister was cosying up to this ruthless tyrant who had been directly responsible for the deaths of so many innocent British and American people.

Today, as the scale of the massacres in eastern Libya is laid bare, that symbolic handshake and the sinister diplomatic machinations that followed it look even more contemptible.

Gaddafi had long proved his hatred of the West. He armed and funded the IRA, providing them with the Semtex used in bomb outrages from Brighton to Omagh. His envoy shot dead WPC Yvonne Fletcher at the Libyan embassy in London, and he directed the 1988 Lockerbie bombing.

Yet Mr Blair and his cabinet colleagues were prepared to overlook all of this, even helping secure the release of the Lockerbie bomber from a Scottish jail, for the sake of a few lucrative contracts to British oil and arms companies.

Hello Scott

I think it ironic that the EU Presidency is coming up again just as our Tone is about to 'get it in the neck' for cosying up to Gadafi Duck and providing him with the weapons used against the protestors in Libya.

He was expected to get the E.U. Presidency first time round but had to face the war Tribunal on Iraq that sullied his chance.

Hm!

What I really want to know is
just how long after pouring gasoline
on a pile of dry brush, can folks
continue to play with lighted matches
before the whole thing blows?
Obviously much longer than any of us
might have thought. I digging out my
old turn out gear and putting it on
right now.

Alice said...

Alice said... "beam me up..."

Hmmm! Now there's a thot.

I wonder if Heaven has a gigantic transporter platform for when Jesus says "Come up here!" [Rev. 4:1]?!?...

Sue, Kem, DrNofog,Expected Imminently, Scott:

I thought I would address all of you on this. I know we all believe the rapture is happening very soon. I know we can't know the exact time but I'm feeling it could literally be any minute. When all of you witness what is going on around the world what do you feel/think about. As I watch and wait I can literally feel the thickness of the moments I am living. I see such an escalation of the end time warnings I can barely concentrate sometimes. The rapid ever evolving events just take my breath away. Please know there is no fear in my heart at all. As prophecy watchers, I believe we are all standing on new ground as the events we are witnessing have not happened before. I hope this makes sense to all of you. I respect you very much as I draw strength from your daily posts. Just want to see if you are feeling some of the same things I am feeling.

James

I get it!

Every so often I check the sky for any sign of activity. More than that, things I have been asking the Lord to show me for years - well the answers are coming thick and fast, and I leap for joy, well perhaps not 'leap', but the intent is there and I am astounded The Lord is bothering to show a little, old, nobody, what He is all about.

Imminency has become even more imminent for me and my expectation is on critical - at the same time I feel troubled for all the poor dear souls going through such tumultuous times.

MARANATHA!

(Singing) He is risen, He is ascended, He is glorified, and He is coming, to take us, to be His Bride. Are you watching, are you waiting are your garments clean and bright; are you ready to rise, ascend to the skies and be glorified?
My friend Natalie Pearson's song, now asleep in Christ.

Thank you Sue. Scott and I always say we hope to sit beside each other at Bema. Now I hope that we are all sitting beside each other.

Dear James >>>>>

I wish i could believe you, but
there is ONE thing missing that
NEEDS to happen before the rapture.

Please reread 2 Thessalonians 2

PAUL was very specific when he said
that the MAN OF SIN must be revealed before the gathering up of
the church. I cannot understand
WHY so many people just don't
get the point here.

I cannot and WILL not go against
scripture, no matter WHAT anyone
says.

I guess we will just have to be patient and wait. I thought this
guy was Ahmad Masadeh BUT he quit
his job with the UFM so I am still
searching on this....on the Internet.

James, I'm with you. The last few
years have been so full of the
precursors of the events of the trib
that it is impossible not to think
of our Lord's return almost 24/7.
Most mornings I feel surprised to
still be here and think "maybe today".

I agree James, this is such a heavy time,,, does anyone else have a feeling of 'maybe i am too caught up in this' when you are with people that have no idea or no desire to hear what all this could mean. I feel such a heavy burden for those around me, I am sickened by the lost/deceived masses, this upside down culture. I now know why He told us to pray for workers, time to harvest especially now that all you have to do is mention the headlines and you can talk about the Lord,,,, it is time to reap, reap, reap...It is good to know there are people out there that feel this thick electricity in the air, I feel wide awake even when I'm sleeping :)

Scott said...

Jill

I know exactly what you mean. I encounter something similar almost every day, believe it or not.

The apostle Peter saw that coming - didn't he?

Just hang on a bit longer - I really believe we're getting remarkably close to His coming...And what a glorious day that will be!

James - I'm saving you a seat -right beside DrNo and Sue and me :)

Scott said...

SUE - I had completely forgotten that the presidency was almost up...That will be VERY interesting to watch - the politics abd who will come out on top. I believe that there is a provision that the president can remain for at least another term - but that is from memory only. Let me know if that is incorrect or if you hear anything interesting.

Stephen:

You don't have to believe me...you have to believe God's word. 2nd Thesslonians 2:3 is an overview of the order not the full account. Read verss 4-9 and you understand that the Church is protected by the Holy Spirit/restrainer and that we would never remain on earth without the Holy Spirit restraining Satan from revealing himself. Once we are in Heaven then the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way but remains on earth to convict the world of sin during the tribulation because many will come to Christ in those days. See John 16:7-8 for more clarification. I want to let you know that I'm not judging you at all. I was simply stating that Christ spoke specifically about not knowing when the rapture would be. That's why he told us to watch, look up and be alert when we see the signs. If Christ didn't know and that no man could know, then He is clearly saying that we should not even try. Also for man to say we could know when the rapture would take place, man then is elevating himself above Christ. If that's the case then Christ certainly wasn't who He said He was.

The last I heard was that ?Wotisname? said he wasn't going to continue. He has had a lot of personal 'stick' from the new UKIP leader (has my vote).

Change of subject. I have watched a video on TV Gadaffi with a brolly sheltering from the rain they are having. He wants to go to the young people in the square, but he can’t go out for the rain.

Reporter said, the rain proves he is still in Tripoli – rubbish, I bet there is a bloke with a hosepipe standing behind him where he has run to for protection – I bet!

B.P. is thinking of leaving Libya – prices up, markets falling!

LOL on "bloke with a hosepipe standing behind him"
I just had to laugh at that one! And its probably true to boot!
