The Temple of Baal Coming to New York Will Be Followed by Hundreds More All Over the World [+video]

/7 Comments/in , /by

The reproductions of the 50 foot arch that stood at the Temple of Baal in Palmyra, Syria that will be erected in New York City and London next month will only be the first of many. As you will see below, it turns out that there are plans to put arches in hundreds more cities all over the globe. The organization behind this is the Institute of Digital Archaeology, which is a joint venture between Harvard University, the University of Oxford and Dubai’s Museum of the Future. The initial arches from the Temple of Baal that will be erected in New York and London as part of UNESCO’s World Heritage Week in April are intended “as a gesture of defiance“, but ultimately the plan is to share this “cultural treasure” with as many cities around the planet as possible.

If you go to Times Square in New York or Trafalgar Square in London late next month, you will not be able to miss these giant arches. According to the New York Post, they will be 48 feet high and 23 feet wide…

The life-size model of the original 2,000-year-old structure, known as the Arch of the Temple of Bel, will stand approximately 48 feet high and 23 feet wide.

It will be one of two constructed in China for exhibition likely in Times Square and London’s Trafalgar Square as part of a World Heritage Week event in April 2016, said Roger Michel, executive director for the Institute for Digital Archaeology.

I suppose that it is appropriate that these giant arches are going to be made in China, because it seems like almost everyone is being made over there these days.

But these are not the only two giant arches that are going to be made. That same article from the New York Post says that the Institute for Digital Archaeology ultimately hopes to put 1,000 of these arches in cities all over the globe…

The institute plans to construct approximately 1,000 such versions of the arch in cities throughout the world.

If you are anything like me, this is an extremely disturbing development. Baal worship is definitely not something that we should be celebrating as a society. There were very good reasons why the God of the Bible found it so incredibly repulsive. The following description of what went on during Baal worship comes from Scott Brown…

We know that there were usually lots of people gathered, often on a high hill (like a theatre or stadium) to observe public sex, just like we see in movies and television and on the internet (Numbers 22:41, I Kings 12:25-33). We think that our watching these things is different than the idolatry of old, but this is not so.

The whole community came out and all of the best pagan ideas for success in crops and fertility were promoted, just like a business seminar that promotes unbiblical ideas that justify the worldliness of its origin.

The wicked personalities (promoters and performers) were respected and given the platform (like rock stars and Hollywood’s “People’.) Some of them were great dancers (like Brittany Spears and Madonna) while others were great musicians (like Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney) (I Kings 15:12-14). In our day, people who go to our churches celebrate celebrities when they should be doing the opposite. Psalm 101:1, 3 says “I will walk in my house… I will set no wicked thing before my eyes…”

People danced around the Asherah pole, which was nothing more than a phallic symbol. It is quite possible that these poles functioned somewhat like the poles in what are called, “gentlemen’s clubs.” The people also acted out lustful, licentious, bawdy scenes for the enjoyment of all who came (Isaiah 57:5-8; Deuteronomy 23:17).They had all the different kinds of sexual experiences on display including men with women, men with men and all of the combinations that are popular today in sit-coms, movies and news reports. On top of that, they invited the crowd to participate (I Kings 14:24).

In addition to everything that you just read, child sacrifice was a central feature of Baal worship. This is what Jeremiah 10:4-6 says…

4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:

6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.

We like to think that we are so much more advanced than people back then, but are we really?

Just like ancient Baal worshippers, we are a society that is addicted to watching other people have sex. In fact, it has been estimated that 68 percent of all Christian men watch pornography on a regular basis.

And just like ancient Baal worshippers, we are a society that is engaged in child sacrifice. We call it “abortion”, but the motives are still the same. If an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy comes along, we have a mechanism “for getting rid of it” just like they did.

Since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, we have slaughtered more than 58 million of our own children. I would venture to say that the ancient Baal worshippers never got quite that much blood on their own hands.

On one level, I find it quite ironic that a reproduction of part of the Temple of Baal is going up in Times Square. David Wilkerson once preached a message entitled “Tearing Down The Altars Of Baal” at Times Square Church, and now a monument to Baal is actually being erected in Times Square.

In our next video, my wife and I will be covering all of this. When it is published, you will be able to find it on our YouTube channel. And don’t forget to hit the red subscribe button on the right hand side of our YouTube page.

Many people regard America as modern day Babylon, and now we are going to have a monument that directly links us to ancient Babylon right in the heart of our most important city.

To me, this is one of the most important news stories of 2016 so far. (For more from the author of “The Temple of Baal Coming to New York Will Be Followed by Hundreds More All Over the World” please click HERE)

The HARD TRUTH the Cuba Trip Exposed About Obama [+video]

/5 Comments/in , /by

Barack Obama was dismissive of the threat ISIS posed, saying he has a lot on his plate, so can’t he go back to his South American tour, please?

Talking to reporters Wednesday, Obama said the terrorist attacks in Brussels did not demonstrate that the Islamic State posed an “existential threat” to national security.

“I addressed this issue a little bit at the baseball game when I was interviewed by ESPN,” the president explained, “but let me reiterate: Groups like ISIL can’t destroy us. They can’t defeat us,” he said, the Washington Free Beacon is reporting. “They can’t produce anything. They’re not an existential threat to us” . . .

“We see high-profile attacks in Europe, but they’re also killing Muslims throughout the Middle East, people who are innocent … people who are guilty only of worshipping Islam in a different way than this organization.”

He then left to do the tango with a scantily-clad woman. (Read more from “The HARD TRUTH the Cuba Trip Exposed About Obama” HERE)

Obama: Don’t Worry If It’s ‘Socialist Theory or Capitalist Theory… Just Decide What Works’ [+video]

/2 Comments/in , /by

Thanks to advances in technology, “You don’t have to settle for the world as it is; you can create the world as you want it to be,” President Barack Obama told young people in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Wednesday. “You have the freedom to build the world in powerful and disruptive ways.”

One of the young community organizers at the town hall picked up on that point, saying she honestly believes that the world needs to change. She asked Obama for his advice on creating social change — in her case, by empowering young people living in poverty.

In the course of answering the question, the president indicated that the “sharp division” between “capitalist and communist or socialist” is starting to blur, and instead of clinging to any one of those ideologies, people should just do what works to create change:

“[S]o often in the past, there’s been a sharp division between left and right, between capitalist and communist or socialist,” Obama said. “And especially in the Americas, that’s been a big debate, right? Oh, you know, you’re a capitalist Yankee dog, and oh, you know, you’re some crazy communist that’s going to take away everybody’s property.

“And, I mean, those are interesting intellectual arguments, but I think for your generation, you should be practical and just choose from what works. You don’t have to worry about whether it neatly fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory — you should just decide what works.” (Read more from “Obama: Don’t Worry If It’s ‘Socialist Theory or Capitalist Theory…Just Decide What Works'” HERE)

Alabama Gov. Denies Having Affair With Top Female Aide, but Leaked Audio Seems to Suggest Otherwise [+video]

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) denied on Wednesday having a physical affair with a top female aide, but admitted to making inappropriate remarks to her shortly before audio of the sexually suggestive conversation was published online.

The two-term Republican governor, a former Baptist deacon, acknowledged in a conciliatory news conference that he said “some inappropriate things” to his senior political adviser, Rebekah Caldwell Mason.

“I made a mistake. Two years ago I made a mistake,” Bentley said, adding that he had previously apologized to his family and to Mason and her family. “Today I want to apologize to the people of the state of Alabama and once again, I want to apologize to my family. I am truly sorry and I accept full responsibility.”

Shortly after, the Alabama Media Group published a 2014 recording it said was of Bentley telling Mason how much he enjoyed his relationship with her.

Watch: Bill Clinton Slams ‘Awful Legacy of Last 8 Years’

/3 Comments/in , /by

Bill Clinton is either losing it, or he’s ramping up his attacks on President Obama. Neither is good news for Hillary Clinton.

During a speech in Spokane, Washington on Monday, Clinton seemed to tear down Obama to boost his wife . . .

“Now, if you don’t believe that we can all grow together again, if you don’t believe that we’re ever going to grow again, if you believe it’s more important to relitigate the past, there may be many reasons that you don’t want to support her.

“But if you believe we can all rise together, if you believe we’ve finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the 7 years before that when we were practicing trickle-down economics and no regulation in Washington, which is what caused the crash, then you should vote for her,” Clinton said.

Obama Welcomes Castro’s Criticism of America: ‘I Personally Would Not Disagree’

President Obama said that he “personally would not disagree” with some of Cuban President Raul Castro’s criticisms of America:

“President Castro, I think, has pointed out that in his view making sure that everybody is getting a decent education or health care, has basic security and old age, that those things are human rights as well. I personally would not disagree with him,” Obama said.

Kasich on Nominating Merrick Garland If He Were President [+video]

/3 Comments/in , /by

By Melanie Hunter. GOP presidential candidate Ohio Gov. John Kasich told CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday that as president, he would consider nominating D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick.

“Well, you know, he received overwhelming support, I think even from Senator Hatch. So, of course we’d think about it,” Kasich said when asked if he would “take a look” at Garland if he were president.

“Let me ask you a presidential question about Merrick Garland put forward by the president for the Supreme Court. This could be a decision you have to handle. What is your sense of — what is your feeling about the way that your Republican colleagues have responded to that nomination from the president?” host John Dickerson asked.

“Well, look, I never thought the president should send it, because I knew nothing was going to happen. I mean, frankly, they probably ought to all sit down and meet with the guy, and my feeling is, at the end of the day, whoever gets elected president should be in a position to be able to pick who they want,” Kasich responded.

“And the American people will decide by either voting for a Republican or Democrat what the makeup of the court is. I just think that is a process that can unite us, rather than a process that right now continues to divide us,” he added.

McConnell: Merrick Garland Would Move Supreme Court ‘Dramatically to the Left’

By Melanie Hunter. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told “Fox News Sunday” that D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s pick for the U.S. Supreme Court to replace the late Antonin Scalia, will “move the court dramatically to the left.”

“This judge would move the court dramatically to the left. He’s enthusiastically supported by MoveOn.org,” said McConnell.

“Some of your Republican colleagues are already suggesting that if your side, if the GOP loses the election in November, that perhaps they would consider Judge Garland in a lame duck session because, in fact, he might be more moderate than, let’s say, Hillary Clinton’s nominee would be,” host Chris Wallace said, referring to Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.).

Flake said, “I think Republicans are fully justified in doing what we’re doing — waiting. And — but if we happen to lose the election, then I think we ought to push him through quickly if we can.” (Read more from “McConnell: Merrick Garland Would Move Supreme Court ‘Dramatically to the Left'” HERE)

MUST WATCH: What Was Wrong With Bill Clinton at the Arizona Rally?

/23 Comments/in , /by

Bill Clinton is deteriorating before our eyes.

The former president appeared in Tucson and Phoenix on Sunday and during an introduction by Mark Kelly, Clinton stood expressionless, seemingly chewing on his tongue with his mouth agape.

Kelly, and his wife, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, appeared with Clinton. As Kelly launched attacks against Republican front runner Donald Trump, Clinton stared off into the crowd. He looked at the floor, his mouth hanging open.

As the audience cheered for Kelly’s lines, Clinton stood motionless. Even Giffords smiled and nodded affectionately . . .

While campaigning in Iowa in January to rescue Hillary’s floundering presidential campaign, the former president’s hand could be seen trembling while he was making a point. (Read more from “What Was Wrong With Bill Clinton at the Arizona Rally?” HERE)

Liberals Told Senators ‘Do Your Job’ on Court Nominee. What the Constitution Says. [+video]

/2 Comments/in , /by

Following President Barack Obama’s nomination of Chief Judge Merrick Garland of the D.C. Circuit to fill the vacancy left by sudden passing of Justice Antonin Scalia, there has been an intense clamor from the left for the Senate to “do your job!”

By this, they mean that the Senate has a constitutional obligation to give Garland a hearing and an up-or-down vote, which Senate Republicans have announced they are not going to do. But is the Senate obligated under the Constitution to do so?

The answer is clearly “no.”

The president “shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint … Judges of the supreme Court ….” That’s all Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution says about the confirmation process for justices to the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Senate can, if it so chooses, “do its job” by withholding its consent and advising the president that it will not consider any nominee to fill this vacancy until after the forthcoming election.

Then Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., had no doubt that the Senate could “do its job” by refusing to consider a nominee for the Supreme Court.

He made that point crystal-clear in 1992 when President George H.W. Bush was in office when he said:

The Senate … must consider how it would respond to a Supreme Court vacancy that would occur in the full throes of an election year. It is my view that if the president goes the way of Presidents Fillmore and Johnson and presses an election-year nomination, the Senate Judiciary Committee should seriously consider not scheduling confirmation hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., clearly had this same understanding when he announced a year and a half before the end of the George W. Bush administration that the Senate should not confirm any nominee to the Supreme Court should a vacancy occur until after the next election.

In 2005, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., also reminded us:

The duties of the Senate are set forth in the U.S. Constitution. Nowhere in that document does it say the Senate has a duty to give presidential nominees a vote. It says appointments shall be made with the advice and consent of the Senate. That is very different than saying every nominee receives a vote.

And, of course, then Sen. Barack Obama D-Ill., certainly felt he was doing his job when he helped to lead a filibuster against the nomination of Samuel Alito—in other words, an effort to deny him an up-or-down vote—to the Supreme Court, something he now says he regrets.

According to the non-partisan Congressional Research Service, out of the 160 men and women whose names have been submitted by presidents to the Senate for consideration for positions on the Supreme Court, 36 were not confirmed, and 25 of those did not receive a vote.

You would have to go all the way back to 1888 for the last time an election-year nominee was confirmed under divided government, as we have now.

In that year, Democratic President Grover Cleveland nominated Melville W. Fuller to be chief justice, who was confirmed by a Senate in which the Republicans had a two-vote majority. Suffice it to say that, in marked contrast to earlier times, today, two facts are obvious: The Supreme Court plays a far more active role in deciding issues that were formerly resolved by the people through the democratic process, and the confirmation process is far more politicized—both developments Scalia decried.

What the Senate chooses to do is, of course, up to the Senate. But those who are now saying that by choosing not to schedule a hearing for Garland, the Senate is not “doing its job” or is otherwise failing to carry out a constitutional obligation are dead wrong.

Watch: Hackers Just Did Something Horrible to Donald Trump

/2 Comments/in , /by

Earlier this month, infamous hacker collective Anonymous declared “war” on Donald Trump who they accuse of being a fascist and seeking to institute a dictatorship in America.

We’re not sure how many people took them seriously and we’re almost positive Trump himself got a good, hearty laugh at the threat but on Thursday, the group claims it has released Trump’s phone number and social security number.
