I am not even a Revel. I am having enough trouble just trying to be a Lapin. But I am issuing a very serious warning about deep consequences, just as they did. It is a warning about the earliest stages of what could become a cataract of disasters if not resisted now.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p>During the 1930s, Winston Churchill desperately tried to persuade the English people and their government to see that Hitler meant to end their way of life. The British ignored Churchill, which gave Hitler nearly 10 years to build up his military forces. It wasn't until Hitler actually drew blood that the British realized they had a war on their hands. It turned out to be a far longer and more destructive war than it needed to be had Churchill's early warning been heeded.<\/p>\n<p>In 1983, a brave French writer, Jean-Francois Revel, wrote a book called <em>How Democracies Perish<\/em>. In this remarkable volume, he described how communism's aim is world conquest. For decades he had been trying to warn of communism's very real threat. Yet in January 1982, a high State Department official said: \"We Americans are not solving problems, we <i>are<\/i> the problem.\" (Some things never change.) A good portion of the planet fell to communism, which brought misery and death to millions because we failed to recognize in time that others meant to harm us.<\/p>\n<p>Heaven knows there was enough warning during the 1980s of the intention of part of the Islamic world to take yet another crack at world domination. Yet instead of seeing each deadly assault on our interests around the world as a test of our resolve, we ignored it. We failed the test and lost 3,000 Americans in two unforgettable hours.<\/p>\n<p>I am not going to argue that what is happening now is on the same scale as the examples I cite above, but a serious war is being waged against a group of Americans. I am certain that if we lose this war, the consequences for American civilization will be dire.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.catholiceducation.org\/en\/controversy\/persecution\/a-rabbi-s-warning-to-u-s-christians.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more click here...<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Possibilities for Consideration: Again?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>First they came for the Jews<\/em><em><br \/>\nand I did not speak out<br \/>\nbecause I was not a Jew.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>Then they came for the Communists<br \/>\nand I did not speak out<br \/>\nbecause I was not a Communist.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Then they came for the trade unionists<br \/>\nand I did not speak out<br \/>\nbecause I was not a trade unionist.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Then they came for me<br \/>\nand there was no one left to speak for me.<\/em><br \/>\nMARTIN NIEM\u00d6LLER<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What if there was a way to reestablish Judeo-Christian values?<\/li>\n<li>What if there was a way to infuse honesty, selflessness, purity of intention and reality (love and trust) back into our communities and businesses?<\/li>\n<li>What if there was a community outreach that didn\u2019t preach religion, but taught the skills of how to think, the values of maturity and the principles that form the foundation of Judeo-Christian values?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-11663\" src=\"\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/metro_globe-150x150.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 163px) 100vw, 163px\" srcset=\"\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/metro_globe-150x150.png 150w, \/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/metro_globe.png 234w\" alt=\"\" width=\"163\" height=\"163\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We all love our community, country and the values that we grew up with and believe in.
