Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants, raves and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.
Once again, I have to offer condolences this week because of a heinous, callous, cowardly violent act. This time my prayers go out to the soul of Charlie Kirk and to his surviving family. God bless.
It has been nearly forty eight hours now since Mr. Kirk’s assassination and a person has been arrested and it all seems to be heading in the right direction, or so it seems. Why do I say, “so it seems”? I say this because the FBI is in charge along with local Orem, UT law enforcement. This is the same FBI that still has not given us a straight answer about the two attempts on then candidate Donald Trump’s life, or a straight answer regarding Jeffrey Epstein. This is the same FBI that cases seem to go to die and never be heard from again. Pardon me if I have a healthy dose of skepticism but I believe that I have earned the right to my skepticism.
Additionally, the war drums continue to beat in Ukraine and the Middle East. What bothers me most is the plausible involvement of Israel and her benefactors in both regions. I have to ask myself why they would be so hell bent on war. Perhaps my answer is in my question. The answer is that they are hell bent and are, in fact, not being led by the prince of peace but his adversaries. The same ones who crucified him because they were threatened by the young renegade who they perceived as a real threat to their power base. All history seems to rhyme right up into current events as evidenced on Wednesday.
I have to give President Trump credit for keeping the United States out of these foreign wars so far. I can only hope that he continues to do so. It will be best for the United States of America that we do so. They are wars that do not benefit us but rather will put more financial burden on future generations of Americans.
Speaking of the FBI failures/cover ups, what about what happened in Israel on October 7, 2023. How come no one mentions the stand down issued to IDF forces that morning? How come the female Israeli intelligence unit assigned to the border and who reported suspicious activities in the weeks and months leading up to the attack were all killed. So much that we do not know. What we do know, however, is Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party going all the way back to the 1990s and the first intifada has done everything in their power to prevent peaceful coexistence with the Palestinians and in fact have been proponents of the Greater Israel movement. I am sorry to say but being a follower of Christ this raises my suspicions greatly and quite frankly causes the hair on my neck to stand up. Just ask the Christian Armenians who were recently attacked by Israeli backed militias in Armenia and the recent Israeli cyber official who was soliciting child sex in Las Vegas as examples of why my hair is standing up.
Personally I believe that a greater effort could be made by Christians and others to expose just how full of ruthless deception, provocation and blood lust Bibi Netanyahu and Likud truly is. Of course this would require people to quit listening, reading and watching main stream news which is funded by questionable interests. It would also require religious leaders to question and challenge their own premises, premises that have been fed to them over the past several generations. Will it happen? I do not know but I can certainly pray for these folks that it does. Maybe it would be good in President Trump started to distance himself from the corruption in Israel.
God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they care enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me for my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
