Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday revealed that Israel had obtained over 55,000 pages and 183 CDs proving that Iran has lied about its nuclear program. Netanyahu further stated that the documents prove that Iran expanded its nuclear program even after the highly controversial deal with the previous US “president” that paid Iran billions of US dollars in cash on pallets to stop its weapons program.

Haaretz reports that a diplomatic source said that if the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had prior knowledge of the Iran program, it would not have issued a report clearing Iran of developing nuclear weapons, and the Iran nuclear deal would have never reached agreement.

The IAEA is a toothless, incompetent UN agency where several nations developed nuclear weapons under its watch. In June 2005, Mohamed ElBaradei, an Egyptian-born Islamist, was unopposed for a third term as head of the IAEA. During his time at the helm, North Korea; Pakistan; Egypt; Syria; Iraq; Iran; and, quite possibly, terrorists were suspected or proven to have active nuclear ambitions.

ElBaradei, who stepped down in November 2009 and rose to power in Egypt as a result of the Muslim Brotherhood coup in 2011, was ineffectual in stopping any of it. ElBaradei, by his own admission, refused to declare a nuclear program in effect until he verified both the nuclear bomb plans and a way to deliver the weapon.

In November 2004, ElBaradei said of Iran, “I am not ready to jump to the conclusion and say this is a weapons program unless I see a diversion of nuclear material to such a program or I see clear-cut proof that this is a weapons program. And we are not there yet.”

On February 22, 2008, ElBaradei said, “I should, however, add that in connection with the weaponization studies, we have not seen any indication that these studies were linked to nuclear material.”

Because of ElBaradei’s Iranian apologetics and delay tactics, Iran steamed forward with its nuclear program on one side, and its nuclear missile development program aided by Russia, China and North Korea on another side.

Nearly 20 years have passed after first suspecting that Iran was developing a nuclear weapon. There has been proof aplenty that this foremost sponsor of international terrorism is secretly building the most dangerous weapon known to mankind.

A US “president” empowered Iran to quicken its nuclear development in July 2015. At that time, Netanyahu said, “The world is a much more dangerous place today than it was yesterday…what a stunning historic mistake.”

The current US President said he intends to end the agreement, and Netanyahu has provided good reason.

Zechariah 12:3 says, “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces…”

These are the prophetic drumbeats of a nuclear Iran, an end-time enemy of Israel, and those who empower it.

The New York Times (NYT) is reporting that there are an increasing number of candidates running for various offices as socialists. Of course, they are running under the Democratic Party ticket, and there have been many of them over the years. It’s just that nowadays they are admitting that they are socialists. That they would be so bold as to not hide their true affiliation is a testimony to the condition of our nation.

Millennials, the NYT says, are far more receptive of socialism because of issues like pay equality, high student debt, an uncertain job market, and high rent. Interesting how this generation blames capitalism for what socialism actually created, but the trend toward socialism is here.

The NYT reports that the election of Donald Trump convinced tens of thousands that both parties were broken and that the country was in need of a radical fix. Young people, NYT says, are turning to socialism. A 2016 survey of 18-29 year olds by Harvard’s Institute of Politics “found that 16 percent identified as socialists, while 33 percent supported socialism.” Some 51% said they did not support capitalism.

These young people do not understand that Socialism takes away freedom, especially economic freedom.

It was the Marxist ideals of the former “president” who inflated student loans by government taking them over. Healthcare costs skyrocketed under socialist healthcare while services declined. We all could retire millionaires if the money we contributed to Social Security was properly invested, not pillaged by the government.

William Bradford described the Pilgrim’s failed socialist experiment of The Virginia Company Charter in “Of Plymouth Plantation”:

“The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years and amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato’s and other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing, as if they were wiser than God.”

Bradford was familiar with Plato’s “Republic” espousing a utopian society under socialism. In ending this experiment that nearly cost the colony their lives, Bradford wrote: “…God in his wisdom saw another course fitter for them.” This was the first capitalist system, and the Plymouth colony then prospered.

Even many Christians believe in socialism, citing Acts 2:44, “And all that believed were together and had (shared) all things in common.” There is a tremendous difference between voluntarily sharing and being forced to share the fruits of your labor by the government.

Socialism has its roots in communism. The Communist Manifesto requires that all religion and morals be abolished, that government replaces God. All wealth is redistributed so that everyone has the same—everyone would be forced to pay for the student loans, healthcare, rent and wages of others.

This is a far cry from the blessing of voluntarily sharing with others.

The first commandment, Exodus 20:1 says, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

That includes government. Moreover, Bradford is still right. Man is not wiser than God. Young people would be wise to heed his advice.

​Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
