Muslim Brotherhood: Obama Needs To 'Accept The Will Of The Arab People

Islamists in the Middle East are speaking out following President Barack Obama’s re-election Tuesday night.
The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood feels that the only foreign policy change Obama can bring is by “accepting the will of the Arab people.”
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood wants to make Shariah Law the main source of the country’s new constitution.

Trajectory Toward Financial Mega-Disaster

The future:

America has endorsed an endless government spending spree that can no longer be held in check. There is only one outcome now for the United States of America: A grand finale blowout of money creation, hyperinflation, collapse and tyranny.

This point is not a debate; it is mathematical fact. Just as 2 + 2 = 4, the economic policies pursued by President Obama and the Federal Reserve can only equal the utter financial demise of the U.S. dollar. This is explained in more detail, below.
Presently, Obama is spending over $1 trillion a year more than the U.S. government confiscates in so-called “revenue” (taxes, essentially). Because the global demand to purchase this much debt is insufficient to cover the full amount, the private Federal Reserve has stepped in and promised to purchase the U.S. debt by issuing more fiat currency that the U.S. Treasury will owe back to the Fed. This is now being called “QE unlimited.” It means unlimited money creation.

As the currency devaluation and price inflation reach their stride, more frequent price increases start to concern citizens who suddenly discover their paychecks are rapidly becoming worthless. This inevitably leads to protests in the streets, and in an Obama administration — staffed by economic juveniles who are astonishingly ignorant of market principles — this will quickly lead to dreaded PRICE CONTROLS.

Once the price controls are announced, it’s time to hunker down, lock and load, and start protecting your stored food. Why? Because price controls always lead to immediate shortages.A price control is an artificial government restriction on the free market trading of goods or services. It’s economics 101: When prices are kept artificially low, demand is made artificially high while supply can’t keep up. The result? Empty food shelves.The empty food shelves will, in turn, lead to riots in the streets. Why? Because people are starving, angry and panicked. Imagine the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy multiplied by a thousand, happening everywhere from coast to coast. That’s a small hint of what’s coming for Obama’s America.
Once the riots in the streets reach a crescendo, the President will have little choice but to declare Martial Law and use the opportunity to deploy troops on the streets. From there, the nation already has one foot in the door of runaway police state tyranny.This is the point where, historically, nations have engaged in the mass rounding up of political enemies or “undesirable” demographics: The Jews, the rebels, even the academics as we saw in the Communist-led Cultural Revolution in China.There, the communists (i.e. the 1960′s equivalent of today’s Obama followers) rounded up over 7 million human beings, targeting farmers, academics and anyone who could think for themselves, and then slaughtered them in cold blood.I know this from first-hand accounts, by the way. Remember: I speak Mandarin Chinese, and I lived in Asia for two years. I have personally spoken to survivors of the Chinese holocaust — people who escaped and fled to Taiwan.

Here’s how it might unfold, in review:1) Runaway government spending forces nation into debt spiral.2) Fed prints new currency and buys debt, compounding existing debt.3) Debt explodes, causing runaway price inflation.4) Rising prices lead to citizen protests.5) Government initiates price controls to try to halt protests.6) Shelves are emptied of food as people starve.7) Mass riots begin.8) Government initiates Martial Law.9) Troops are rolled out onto the streets.10) Under the cover of Martial Law, the mass rounding up of political opponents begins, complete with torture, public humiliation, murder and re-education camps.

Syrian Mortar Shells Land Across Israeli Border

Three mortar shells landed across Israel’s border with Syria in the Golan Heights Thursday morning, in what security officials said was likely a spillover from fighting between government forces and rebels in the ongoing Syrian civil war.

Two of the shells fell in open areas near moshav Alonei Habashan and caused no injuries or damage. A third landed inside the moshav itself, but failed to explode and no damage was reported.IDF sappers were dispatched to the scene to disarm the bomb.Israel has long feared Syrian conflict spillover into the Golan. On Monday, an army jeep was hit by a stray bullet from Syrian territory, just days aftertop IDF brass toured the region.The IDF has been kept on high alert since November 3, when three Syrian tanks strayed into the demilitarized zone separating the two borders, leading Israel to lodge an official complaint with UN peacekeepers stationed in the DMZ.

Syrian Spillover Continues: Shells Hit Golan Town

Interesting commentaries/editorials (just remember - this has to happen according to God's prophetic plan for the world):

America SOS

Obamacare will never be repealed, it will transform the economy and political system permanently for the worse. The economy will continue to tank. There will be higher taxes and higher unemployment. Worse still is the prospect for our national security. The danger of our open border with Mexico will never be resolved, violent drug cartels and Islamic terrorists will continue to have 24/7 access to the country and no one in Washington will blink an eye. The defense budget will be cut. No one will stop Iran from getting the bomb. Russia and China will rapidly become more aggressive. And as America's national security declines, so does the security of the rest of the free world. As Mark Steyn said:"The first victims of American retreat will be the many corners of the world that have benefited from an unusually benign hegemon. But the consequences of retreat will come home, too. In a more dangerous world, American decline will be steeper, faster, and more devastating than Britain's -- and something far closer to Rome's."

The End Of A Country, Its People And Liberty

Whether many in the country choose to believe it or not, we are not only now facing an era of almost unbearable hardship but, the removal of any and all of our once-Constitutional liberties and rights as human beings.  We are moving from the light back into the darkness of both body and soul.  The elimination of the Obama syndicate’s enemies has already been reported as having issued from the lips of co-POTUS Valerie Jarrett.  That should begin soon.
Obama’s plan to turn the sovereignty of the USA over to the United Nations is already well under way.  The UN Small Arms Treaty will be signed by Obama and it will effectively remove and replace the former Bill of Rights’ Second Amendment, while the First Amendment will be replaced with “hate speech” restrictions…punishable by new global laws.
Congress will be rendered completely toothless and non-essential, as Obama has been working to affect since he first took office.  Our economic and other systems designed for liberty of and for the individual are now dead and is only waiting to be buried.

 Too many refused to listen to the warnings and, instead, chose to listen to others who lied gently and soothingly to them that they would be told when it was so.  The Roman philosopher and statesman Cicero advised us over a millennium ago that a nation cannot survive treason from within.  Thus, neither will–nor can–the now-former United States of America.  It has now come to its close as a nation.  The shining city on the hill is no more and has been reduced to rubble.

Life After America

It will be profoundly dreadful: confiscatory taxes; massive government growth; exploding deficit; widespread unlawfulness protected – nay, promoted – by the government; uncontrolled illegal immigration; open, unbridled racial preferences in every facet of life; hostility and grave threats – and perhaps dismantling – of various Free Speech sources, especially Talk Radio and Any Media unsupportive of Obama. Oba-Medicine, the absolute end of personal choice in medical care, including – Yes- Death Panels, for real; the gutting of our military

Acts Of God?

Obama, on the contrary, stayed the course, presumably showing his dedication to the demands of the electoral process. The result was lamentably predictable: McCain lost his edge, looking more like someone who needed a break than like a responsible campaigner, and Obama reaped the rewards of his apparent diligence.As we approached the critical moment of the 2012 election, with Republican challenger Mitt Romney mounting a strong performance and either tied with, or leading, an incumbent Obama in a number of national polls, Hurricane Sandy erupted, allowing Obama “to project an image of a president in charge at a time of crisis.”  What Hegel called “the cunning of reason” — by which he meant the sly purposes of history — was evident in the reversal of circumstance: whereas putting a campaign on hold sank McCain, it gave Obama a discernible boost. From one day to the next, Obama regained the advantage he was in the process of losing, as Reuters put it, to a now “subdued Romney.”On the one hand, an economic meltdown occurred at precisely the moment to scuttle the better candidate’s prospects of election. On the other, barely a week before the voting stations closed, a veritable superstorm devastated vast swathes of the country, presenting an incompetent and highly suspect Obama with the opportunity to pose as a caring and paternal figure, and thus to sway the hearts of a too-impressionable electorate. Without doubt this was a decisive moment for the president.
