World Leaders Shaken: The Panama Papers Are Not For Training Your Puppy

Iceland’s Prime Minister has already resigned since the discovery of the Panama Papers a week ago. 11.5 million hidden top secret documents exposing 214,000 offshore companies that date back to the early 1970s and going forward has been completely exposed.

Which leaders are shaking most? Vladimir Putin, David Cameron, even Hillary is involved. The fallout of this revelation hasn’t even begun to unravel. Here’s Ray with the report. Join him now.

 

This is Ray Mossholder.

What have we here? The Panama Papers. This is far better than finding gold eggs at an Easter egg hunt.

Just think of this: 11.5 million hidden top secret documents exposing 214,000 offshore companies, dating back to the early 1970s and going forward until now has been completely exposed.

Zillionaires from government leaders to movie stars to others of the rich and famous have been caught with both hands and one foot in the cookie jar.

An anonymous whistleblower with the extremely creative name of “John Doe” began sending batches of these documents to a German newspaper whose name I’m not going to try to pronounce.

Oh, all right, I’ll try to pronounce the newspaper’s name just for you – Suddeutsche Zeitung. I knew you’d want to know.

John Doe also sent this note: “My life is in danger. We will only chat over encrypted lines. No meeting ever.”

The first batch included the government leaders, at least at that moment in 2015, of five nations – Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iceland, and Argentina. That was the tip of the iceberg. Very soon government leaders from forty other nations were exposed to have hidden their treasures not in a vault, not in a sock, not in a piggy bank, not buried in their backyard, but with a Panamanian corporate service provider with yet another name only a mother could love – Mossack Fonseca.

One of the major names found among the papers was David Cameron, Prime Minister of England. Since that moment, England’s PM has taken so many different positions about it that he is now being invited as a candidate for “Dancing With The Stars”.

Maybe it would be more accurate to say that David Cameron is making so many excuses about his involvement in the Panama Papers that he sounds like Richard Nixon just before the Watergate scandal broke.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is the dictator of a Communist nation and holds maximum power, unlike Cameron, and will most likely dodge the bullet over being found out. The Panama Papers show him to be hand in glove with Bank Roossiya in a money-laundering scheme that involves at least $2 billion (how many rubles is that?) through banks and offshore companies. Putin’s close associate Sergey Roldugin, a buddy since childhood, an orchestra conductor and classical cellist, appears to have acted as a frontman to keep Putin’s name off the records, and is taking the heat. Putin is denying he is connected with this and, of course, we believe him. Right?

Here’s another name that has been prominent in the news – Ukraine’s pro-Western President Petro Poroshenko. Documents found in the Panama Papers show that in 2014, Poroshenko “scrambled to find a copy of a home utility bill for him to complete the paperwork to create a holding company in the British Virgin Islands.” All kinds of excuses are being made by a Poroshenko’s spokesman today. Well, uh, um, it depends on what the word is is.

And it was a cold day in Iceland when the name Sigmundur Gunnlaugson was discovered in the Panama Papers. It soon showed Iceland’s Prime Minister and his wife had hidden millions of dollars of investments in his country’s banks in an offshore company. Ironically, Gunnlaugson was elected as Prime Minister after Iceland had financially collapsed. That’s not to say that Gunnlaugson wasn’t generous. It was also discovered that a few years ago he sold half of his hidden money to his wife for just one dollar! Ah, love! With a gotcha look at these papers from the people of Iceland, Gunnlaugson’s head was the first to roll of all the world leaders. He has resigned over the scandal.

Recently, I read in one of the comments written to me by a viewer, concern over Bernie Sanders and his socialist position. The writer stated: “I am worried about Sanders being elected president of the United States. Socialism is so close to communism that there are very few differences. Both systems seek a classless society in which wealth is redistributed through centralization of power by the state which is controlled by one party. They systematically silence opposition through control of the media, education system and the seizing of firearms. Initially, industries seeking favoritism join with the state to assist with control but ultimately end up being controlled themselves. The state controls the healthcare and welfare systems the masses rely upon.”

I quote that because of the family of still another Communist president – Xi Jinping – who has prided himself for cracking down on corruption in China. Evidently, he hasn’t included the members of his own family. They were front and center in the Panama Papers. According to Mossack Fonseca, along with keeping it all in the family, Xi has “serviced enough Middle East royalty to fill a palace. He also fulfilled the Wheel of Fortune desires of two kings – Mohammed VI of Morocco and King Salman of Saudi Arabia – with luxury yachts

Among other families and associates of former world leaders were names linked with Hosni Mubarak, the former president of Egypt, Muammar Qaddafi, the former leader of Libya, oh, and one other who is still in power – Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. Remember him?                                         

Oh, and we can’t leave Hillary Clinton out. Hillary’s campaign manager, John Podesta and his brother Tony have ties to Russia’s largest bank – Sberbank – a major player. Less than a month ago, their Podesta Group lobbying firm accepted this huge bank as a client. Tony Podesta bundles campaign donations for Mrs. Clinton and is listed as a lobbyist for Russia’s bank. All this sounds like a cozy arrangement if you think both Russia and Hillary is our friend.

Half of the oober-rich companies exposed were in the British Virgin Islands, while Hong Kong contained the most affiliated banks, law firms and middlemen.

In spite of how it looks, not everybody involved is in trouble. Secretly hiding your millions away whether you are a wealthy tycoon or an offshore business is legal. So if you want to keep your fifteen gold bars safe, you can do it that way. Just thank me for letting you know.

Investigative reporters, however, are pouring over these documents like milk over Cheerios. They are searching for illegal operations, drug and sex trafficking, fraud and tax evasion.

That newspaper whose name I tried to pronounce eventually received from John Doe 2.6 terabytes of data. Deluged by the secret information, they called for the US-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists which includes 400 journalists at 107 media organizations in 76 different countries.

Less than one week ago, 149 of these secret documents were no longer secret. The Consortium published them last Sunday, April 3rd. They have also vowed to publish a full list of companies involved early next month.

Here’s some more about names: the formal title of the oober-rich money hideaway is “offshore financial center”. It’s less formal name is “a tax haven for the rich”. And this includes both the legitimately rich and Mafia–type crooks, hoodlums, and the scum of the earth.

These tax heavens, er, tax havens woo their customers from other countries and ask nothing or at most, extremely little, about whoever wants to do business with them. They also offer very low taxes – not at all what they would pay in their own country for their riches – companies pay 35% in America. It is for the purpose of escaping their own countries taxes that Sugar Daddies and Sugar Mommies make much of their money seemingly disappear in offshore financial centers.

Igor Angelini, the head of Europols Financial Intelligence Group, has said that the shell companies operating like the treasure house for so many of the rich in this world today “play an important role in large-scale money-laundering activities, corruption and the transfer of bribe money.”

The Tax Justice Network is called Panama and is not only the oldest but are the best-known tax havens in the Americas. It has, according to The Conversation been “the recipient of drugs money from Latin America, plus ample other sources of dirty money from the United States and elsewhere.” Panama has done everything it could to keep all of the money they receive written with invisible ink. It’s their dirty little secret, and now it’s no longer a secret at all.

In all, Mossack Fonseca has been working with more than 300,000 companies including Deutsche Bank, HSBC, UBS, etc. I won’t even begin to read the list to you because I would still be reading it when you have to go to bed.

Forty governments have now been identified including Australia, New Zealand, China, Egypt, France, Greece, India, North Korea, Pakistan, South Africa, Spain, and Syria. There are some big name people who have been discovered in the expose’. Two of these include Prime Minister David Cameron and Vladimir Putin from you know where.

Mossack Fonseca doesn’t seem to have had any favorites. While the United States has sanctions against Rami Makhlouf, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s cousin, they were taking very good care of him.

North Korean banker, Kim Chol Sam and British banker Nigel Cowie, totally ignored international sanctions on North Korea and continued to do big business with North Korea’s arms dealer “Korea Mining and Development Trading Corporation”. Mossack Fonseca was instrumental in helping to expand North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. British banker Cowie said he wasn’t aware that these transactions were illicit. He was getting a big bang out of hydrogen bombs.

Here’s a name you’ll recognize – Jackie Chan. The linked documents show that Jackie is a shareholder with six different companies based in the British Virgin Islands. And here’s another – Simon Cowell. Again, they obviously didn’t want to pay all their taxes, but then, who does?

One name absolutely missing from this yugggge list is Donald Trump. He’s saving his money to make America great. But with all these other people remember the Panama Papers are not for training your puppy.

This is Ray Mossholder – a name that was also not found there. But if they do find it, I’ll let you know.

Scotland has voted and here"s their final answer - Ray

The vote that has been dividing Scotland was taken today and the final result is in. It wasn’t nearly as close as all polls indicated right up to the ballot box. This is a breaking story because as I’m posting it, the vote was only counted an hour ago.

Hello America. Hello world.

From the headquarters of reachmorenow.com in Fort Worth, Texas, this is Ray Mossholder and this is a very special report: SCOTLAND HAS VOTED AND THE RESULT IS FINAL.

Scotland voted today and their answer when all votes were tallied was “God save the Queen!” Scotland’s more than three hundred years as a monarchy will continue and England can finally sleep well tonight – especially Prime Minister David Cameron and Queen Elizabeth II – whose very leadership would have been extremely threatened if the vote had turned out nay.

All the major polls taken prior to the vote were wrong, quite wrong. They showed up 50-50 tie going into the voting booths today. But it wasn’t that close at all. The final vote was 55% to follow the Queens carriage and only 45% wanted to cut the umbilical cord from mother England and do their own thing.

The vote has ended, but the shattered relationships between the Scots won’t heal quickly as brother bitterly argued with brother about how this vote should end. A verbal Civil War grew more and more intense in the Highlands and lowlands of Scotland that grew more and more intense. That will be difficult to end.

Pride is an awful thing when one feels there is egg on their face. A frustrated embarrassment that can easily turn to anger will exist today in nearly half of the Scottish people because the majority of Scott’s said they don’t want to be all alone with them. While so many believed their independence from England was every bit equal to freedom, the majority of voting Scots answered we love our Queen.

David Cameron knew that the stakes in Scotland’s vote today were frighteningly high. If that vote had gone the other way, England would have instantly lost one third of its land mass, their place in the EU, Cameron’s role as Prime Minister and his Labour Party’s role, and any further sign of financial stability in England would have all but disappeared. America would have been greatly affected by a no vote too, since England is one of us to greatest allies, and the the effect of all these things together would have sent huge ripples throughout the rest of the entire world.

For all this year and more, the often asked question “What do those Scottish men wear under their kilts?” was replaced by “How will the Scottish vote regarding their place in the world?” Now we know the answer so now we can wonder again about those kilts.

SCOTLAND"S VOTE WILL DECIDE TWO COUNTRIES FUTURE NEWS/PICS

England’s Prime Minister David Cameron pleading in Aberdeen, Scotland

Will ISIL attack England or America?

Pray for the Scottish people to make the right decision

TEXT OF ORIGINAL REPORT POSTED EARLIER TODAY

One of President Barack Obama’s very closest friends may be losing his job sometime shortly after tomorrow if Scotland votes itself independence from the Queen. Knowing that, his friend Prime Minister David Cameron, greatly humbled himself today before the Scots in Aberdeen, and while fighting off tears he begged the Scots to stay loyal to what has been until now their mother country

Mister Cameron said “Don’t think that you’re frustrated with politics right now, so you’ll walk out the door and never come back. If you don’t like me, I won’t be here forever. If you don’t like this government, it won’t last forever. But if you leave the UK, that will be forever.”

President Obama made a call from the White House to also urge the nation of Scotland to remain part of a united Britain. He said he wanted the UK to remain “strong, robust, united, and an effective partner.”

There have been few times in history that the relationship between England and America so desperately needs to remain strong . Cameron has awakened only very recently to the dangers of radical Islam and has pledged to unite with America in wiping out ISIL. All that would almost certainly change in a heartbeat if England came under a new administration. With Cameron toppled from office, England would be far more vulnerable to the terrorist threats.

Cameron also said to the people of Aberdeen “For the people of Scotland to walk away now would be like painstakingly building a home and then walking out the door and throwing away the keys. Head and heart and soul, we want you to stay. To warn of the consequences is not to scare-monger. It is like warning a friend about a decision they might take that will affect the rest of their lives, and the lives of their children.

I say all this because I don’t want the people of Scotland to be sold the dream that disappears. So as you reach your final decision , please, please, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t be a proud Scot and a proud Brit. For me it’s simple. You don’t get the change you want by ripping your country apart. You don’t get change you want by undermining your economy and damaging your businesses and diminishing your place in the world.”

Right now, Scotland is a country divided against itself. The vote in every poll shows that it will be “too close to call.” The future of nations hangs in the balance. Pray for the Scottish people to have God’s wisdom as they vote.

After many hours of waiting and hoping the message on the video was not true, the White House confirmed last night that a second American journalist has been beheaded by Isis.

Wednesday September 3, 2014

Hello America. Hello world.

From the headquarters of reachmorenow.com in Fort Worth, Texas, this is Ray Mossholder and this is the news.

So much is happening at reachmorenow.com that you will be experiencing with me in the next few weeks that my time is greatly divided between the news and my work with Larry Jack and Georgia to get things ready for you.

I have compiled so much news in the past three days that I can only give you only part of it today or otherwise it would be much too long. But you’ll miss nothing of importance in this and coming newscasts.

After many hours of waiting and hoping the message on the video was not true, the White House confirmed last night that a second American journalist has been beheaded by Isis. His name is Stephen Sotloff, and President Obama, speaking from Estonia, called him a “devoted, courageous journalist.”

The insanity of what continues to occur in the demonic growth of a conscienceless and barbaric plague called Isis – who are in both Iraq and Syria because they’ve broken through Syria’s border and massacred everyone on their way, must be stopped. Meanwhile, they say they will soon lop off another head unless America leaves Iraq with its military.

America is 8 days away from the anniversary of 9/11. We know that and the radical Muslims know that. News has just been released that last month Islamist militants took control of almost a dozen commercial jetliners in Libya and the fear is strong that the terrorists may plan to use them for a far greater 9/11 this year.

I am reminded tonight of the words of George Orwell, the author of 1984, when he wrote “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes an act of rebellion.”

You can rest easy America at the soothing words of our president, that is if you don’t look now. Oh well, maybe you’d better look:

Isis and Al Qaeda are at our Mexican border today and threatening to destroy a major city;

Prime Minister David Cameron of England has raised his nations danger alert to the highest level possible because of threats from Isis.

And President Barack Obama has declared the United States is “at its safest level in three decades.” Be careful golfers. Maybe playing golf numbs the brain!

The truth is America is the least safe it’s been this very minute since the Second World War.

David Cameron’s message to England as he warned his people of imminent attack, can be seen and heard on reachmorenow.com

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said last week that the very ability of Isis to magnetically draw fighters to join them, fighters who have lived in America, Canada and Europe “is as dangerous a threat matrix as I have ever seen in my ten years on this committee. We need to address it.”

Canada reports there are at least 500 citizens from their country who have now joined the Isis terrorists. Rogers said, “They are just a car ride away from driving across that border and doing something to the United States.”

It’s true that Mike Rogers is a Republican, but this situation goes far beyond your party affiliation or whether you would click the “Like” button or not for President Obama. This has to do with your life, your children’s lives, your grandchildren’s lives, your friends both far and near, your church, and America itself.

Judicial Watch, an organization dedicated to telling the truth about corruption, or information of major importance that is not being covered by the mainstream media, is warning of an imminent attack that is coming at our US/Mexican border. They have released this following statement:

“Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican city of Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle-born improvised devices. High–level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that they have sent out a warning bulletin alerting them of an imminent terrorist attack about to occur on our border. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice, and Defense agencies have all been placed on high alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning the imminent terrorist threat.”

Juarez, Mexico, is famously a crime–infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the United States State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.

It is less likely that terrorists would come across into America from the Rio Grande border because Texas Governor Rick Perry has stationed National Guard troops there.

Judicial Watch continued “Intelligence officers have picked up radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups are going to carry out an attack on the border. ‘It’s coming very soon,’ according to a high level source who clearly identified the groups as “Isis and Al Qaeda.”

An attack is so imminent that the commanding general at Fort Bliss, the U.S. Army post in El Paso, has been briefed and is readying his troops”, another source confirms.

This disturbing inside intelligence comes on the heels of news reports that the United States intelligence has picked up increased chatter among Islamist terror networks approaching the thirteenth anniversary of 9/11. While these terrorists reportedly are planning their attack just outside the United States, President Obama admitted until today that “we don’t have a strategy yet” to combat Isis.

“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” the commander-in-chief said this past Friday during a White House briefing. “I think what I’ve seen in some of the news suggests that folks are getting a little further ahead of where we currently are.”

Princeton University Professor Robert George warns that Isis is focused on committing “mass slaughter in the United States.” Professor George said “Isis has every intention of getting there, and these are people who achieve what they set out to achieve. Unless somebody stops them, they make good their threats. Our well-being, our security, our place in the world are vitally threatened by Isis. They will stop at nothing.…in order to destroy anyone standing in their way so that they can establish the caliphate.”

Princeton University Professor Robert George

Professor George further said, “We’re going to have to fight them eventually. Now do you want to do it now in Iraq and Syria, or do you want to wait until they’re carrying out activity within the United States? If they obtain biological or chemical weapons, they will use them. There’s no question. There’s nothing stopping them from using those weapons.”

Last week, Mike Morrell, former director of the CIA and current CBS news national security analyst, warned that Isis could show up in the United States to conduct small-scale attacks.

current CBS news national security analyst

Speaking on CBS This Morning Morrell said, “if an Isis member shows up at a mall in the United States tomorrow with an AK-47 and kills a number of people, I would not be surprised.” Morrell warned “Over the long–term this group could present a 9/11–style threat. It took Al Qaeda two and a half years to plan 9/11. It would not surprise me to know that Isis may be thinking about going in that kind of direction.”

I’ve mentioned Prime Minister David Cameron of England. If you check his statements that he made even a year ago, he sounds like a totally different man. I don’t know he sounded like California Governor Jerry Brown, welcoming Muslims in New England as if they were gold.

October 28, 2013

Friday he told England that he proposes sweeping legislation to combat the “scourge of extremism,” and again warned of the rapid rise of Isis. He promised “in the end we will defeat this extremism.”

In order to win this fight, Cameron has introduced legislation to seize passports at the border. He said England would be working hard to keep out foreign fighters who return from the Middle East and are a threat to the nation. He said, “Passports are not an automatic right.” He then pointed out that 700 have left France to join Isis, and 400 have done the same thing from Germany.

David Cameron also said England would be tightening its air security by demanding that airlines submit a passenger list of all passengers aboard before they would be allowed to land. He will also be forbidding British nationals to return to Britain.

So were our president’s words that we are at the safest point in thirty years, true? I leave it to you to decide.

Perhaps to make America feel even better, The FBI has not included Isis on its list of potential terror threats in the United States. In fact, it lists Isis as a “medium terror risk.” This, in spite of the fact that Isis has now been clearly linked with the Boston Marathon bombing and several other terror attempts, and Isis and Al Qaeda are at our door. Is the prophecy of Reverend Jeremiah Wright coming true? Are these American’s chickens that are coming home to roost?

Reverend Jeremiah Wright

Some of the names of the most dangerous terror groups working in America right now are completely unknown by the vast majority of American citizens. Two of those organizations are Chechen Americans Tamerlan and

D-HOCKHAR (Dzhokhar) TSARNAFE (Tsarnaev). These two groups actually staged the 2013 bombing at the Boston Marathon.

In spite of these things, all FBI training manuals have been purged of any danger at all from radical Islamism. Would someone please be kind enough to explain why the FBI has done this?

Maybe I could get the answer from the University of Florida. That university is opening a center for global Islamic studies. They have brought together a complete staff from religion, science, history, anthropology, languages, literatures and cultures. The center will open September 18 and 19 with the conference called “Global Islam and the Quest For Public Space.”

And if you think David Cameron has had a change of heart, listen to the same man who said America is safer today than any time within the past thirty years. Speaking from Estonia and joining Baltic state leaders on their way to a NATO conference in Wales, President Obama sounded like an entirely different man.

Speaking internationally Obama said, “Whatever these murderers think they’ve achieved by murdering innocent Americans…they have failed. We will not be intimidated. Their horrific acts only unite us as a country to take the fight against these terrorists. And those who make the mistake of harming Americans will learn that we will not forget, and that our reach is long and justice will be served.”

A pacifistic president is usually far stronger in their rhetoric than in their actions. Any intelligent American will now be asking, “Does our President really mean America will be going after Isis with full strength to rid them from this world after all he said last week? Or, is it just another red line in the sand for Isis as it was with Syria with no carry-through?” We should find out in the next few days.

On the sixth and seventh of this month – Saturday and Sunday – President Obama will be meeting with David Cameron and 26 other NATO leaders to undoubtedly discuss what to do about Isis, Al Qaeda, and the rest of the terrorists worldwide. They will say a lot about Vladimir Putin at this meeting too. The decisions they make in those two days may shape the future of this whole world.

Meanwhile , what’s wrong with this picture? … The United States Department Of Homeland Security is about to allow hundreds, perhaps thousands of illegal immigrants to return to the United States and that may be just the beginning. The Los Angeles Times says this plan that is about to be put into action is because of a lawsuit waged on behalf of illegal immigrants by the ACLU. The Times says that an “unknown fraction” of the two hundred and fifty thousand previously deported illegal immigrants will actually be encouraged to return to Americai.

The ones being invited back at this moment have this limitation: They must be “longtime California residents with relatives who are United States citizens and… young migrants whose parents brought them into America illegally, and who deported themselves.”

Border Agents will now be required to inform illegal immigrants of their right to fight deportation in the United States Court system (something that would require a great deal of time and taxpayer money.) Border Agents must also “provide them with access to an informational hotline and a list of free legal providers.”

Oh, and there’s more – American taxpayers will pay for ads online, for ads in magazines and newspapers, billboards, and on radio stations in Southern California and Mexico. Working with the Mexico National Football Team, America’s taxpayers will be placing billboards “in high population Mexican cities like Tijuana, Tecate, and Mexicali, as well as observable places near the border. Plus, we will be paying for one minute ads on major Southern California Spanish speaking radio stations.

… In this new America, it’s time, my friend, to learn Spanish!

And, of course, we can bring all the illegal immigrants back, apologize, and give them all the benefits, but we can’t bring one Marine hero, Andrew Tahmooressi, home from a Tijuana prison cell because he missed his turnoff. Does that make sense to you?

Russian Premier Vladimir Putin is asking President Petro Poroshenko to engage in talks on “statehood in southeastern Ukraine.” Shortly thereafter Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, clarified that Putin was not envisioning sovereignty for the two separatist Eastern regions that now call themselves “New Russia.”

Then a few hours later land-based rebel forces attacked a Ukrainian boat. No further details were given, but Ukraine’s major concern is that the rebels are attempting to capture a key land bridge that links Russia with Crimea.

Kiev has agreed to release all ten Russian paratroopers who were taken prisoner in Ukrainian territory last week. Each of the paratroopers were subjected to videotape interrogations which Ukraine posted online to prove Russia’s invasion of Eastern Ukraine. In return for the ten Russian paratroopers, Russia released 63 Ukrainian soldiers.

The Ukrainian government, NATO and Western officials say that thousands of Russian troops backed by tanks and artillery are now inside Ukraine. Vladimir Putin continues to deny this. He says the reason he is being so severely lied about is because NATO is trying to prove that it is still vital and that their power is desperately needed in a world that can’t afford to have NATO done away with.

The Syrian war has now flooded into Israel’s Golan Heights. That’s where the Al Qaeda–linked Nusra Front captured 45 United Nations peacekeepers from Fiji last week in the buffer zone between Israel and Syria. The Nusra Front has issued three demands for the release of the Fijian peacekeepers.

Brigadier General Mosese Tikoitoga has demanded that his name be removed from the United Nations terrorist list; that the United Nations provide humanitarian aid to parts of Damascus; and wants compensation for three of its fighters who were killed in a shootout with the United Nations officers.

Professional United Nations negotiators have been sent to Syria and have described the talks between them and the military leaders as “moving up a notch.”

Meanwhile, Isis is solidly involved in the Syrian war where more than 190,000 have been killed.

Foreign journalists were given the rare privilege in North Korea to have five whole minutes of access to three Americans being held there. The men are missionary Kenneth Bae, Jeffrey Fowle, and Matthew Miller. Bae is serving a 15 year prison sentence for leaving his Bible and his North Korean hotel room.

Missionary Kenneth Bae

Jeffrey Fowle is from Miamisburg, Ohio. The 53-year-old is convicted but not yet sentenced for leaving his Bible in a nightclub in the northern port city of Chongjin after witnessing for Christ there. Having a Bible in North Korea and witnessing are considered “hostile acts.”

Jeffrey Fowle and family

Matthew Miller’s actions when he arrived in North Korea were bizarre. He tore up his passport and pleaded to become a citizen of North Korea. Officials said no and had him arrested. He has yet it has not been sentenced either.

Left to right: Andrew Miller, Jeffrey Fowle, Kenneth Bae

46-year-old Kenneth Bae’s family is extremely worried for him. He has been in prison since 2012 and is very ill. Earlier this year he was moved to a hospital after losing 15 pounds doing hard labor at a labor camp. But he was moved back to the labor camp this past month. Bae is suffering from diabetes, an enlarged heart, liver problems and severe back pain.

Kenneth Bae

Washington’s travel advisory for North Korea warns that in the past 18 months, “North Korea has detained several

U.S. citizens who are in that country on organized tours.” Nevertheless, there are several Americans each year who think they need to tour North Korea.

The United States has repeatedly offered to send an envoy for North Korean human rights issues, Robert King, to Pyongyang to seek a pardon for Bae and the others, but has never received a reply. Meanwhile Korean officials have told this missionary that America doesn’t care that he is in prison there.

Still another American has contracted the deadly Ebola virus and he is a doctor who heard of the virus bringing home Dr. Kent Brantly and health aid Nancy Writebol from Liberia to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Dr. Rick Sacra felt impressed by the Lord that he was to go to library at and take their place. He went to serve with the same organization – Serving in Mission – but now has the Ebola virus himself.

Sacra is 51, is married, and is from Holden, Massachusetts. He was not doing what Brantly and Writebol were doing with Ebola patients. Instead he was busy delivering babies at a General Hospital in Monrovia, Liberia. He was taking every precaution against Ebola. It is not understood how Sacra contracted the disease. An investigation has begun.

Perhaps the biggest tragedy of all is that unlike the two who came to Atlanta, Sacra will not be receiving ZMAPP, the drug credited, along with the Lord, for healing both Brantly and Writebol. The drug at this minute does not exist. Scientists in several companies are working to make new doses of ZMAPP available, but it may take as long as six months to have it ready.

The Ebola virus continues to rage unchecked in West Africa with almost 1500 victims who have died from it. This time prayer without the drug should be sufficient. Pray for Dr. Rick Sacra.

Things are relatively quiet in Ferguson, Missouri, but fears are that the town will erupt in violence far more fierce than it ever has if Police Officer Darren Wilson is not found guilty of murder. Many residents of Ferguson are saying however the verdict comes out, they deeply hope that the evidence is overwhelming to confirm it.

The jury at the trial of Officer Wilson is made up of two black women and one black man, six white men and three white women. The attorney representing Michael Brown’s parents says he is pleased with the jury selection as long as the prosecutor presents all of the evidence and holds nothing back. At this point it isn’t clear whether the officer will actually be charged. Freeing Officer Wilson, in itself, could bring back the riots.

While the trial continues, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department has announced they will do their own investigation, a much broader one, that will investigate the Ferguson Police Department over the last several years.

Meanwhile both the local and federal investigations are ongoing. Attorney General Eric Holder will make the final call in the federal investigation. Many officials are urging both investigations to be concluded at the very same time. However, the possibility that that will happen is extremely slim.

President Obama gave a Labor Day speech to Union members in Wisconsin Saturday. He sounded like the union organizer used to be. Here was the main part of his speech:

“If I was looking for a good job that lets me build some security for my family, I’d join the union. If I was busting my butt in the service industry and wanted an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work, I’d join a union. If I were a firefighter or a police officer risking my life and helping to keep my community safe, and wanting to make sure I came home safely to my family, I’d join a union.”

The president said that he is going to press Congress hard for a raise in the minimum wage just like he courted Michelle – never taking no for an answer. He warned that if Republicans gain control of Congress after November’s election, it will hurt the chances for such a raise. “But I will do with them what I did with Michelle – wear them down until they fully agree with me.”

Republican Texan Senator Ted Cruz was one of the keynote speakers at a Texas–Americans Prosperity Summit over this past weekend. So were Rick Perry and Rand Paul.

Cruz bashed Obama. He said “In the year 2017, a Republican president is going to repeal every word of Obamacare.” And about Isis, Cruz said “Isis says they want to go backward and reject everything modern. Well, I think we should help them; we ought a bomb them back to the Stone Age.”

Texas Governor Rick Perry said “The good news is there are exactly 128 days left until the next Congress convenes with a Republican house and a Republican Senate.

Rand Paul sued President Obama last week for violating the Constitution, and he said Benghazi and so many other fiascoes should short circuit any possible chance for Hillary Clinton to be elected president.

If you are one who regularly watches ABC’s World News, you know that Diane Sawyer is gone and a brand-new anchor has taken her place – 40-year-old David Muir.

Diane Sawyer and David Muir

Muir isn’t a new face on World News. He has filled in for Diane Sawyer often. He has worked for ABC since 2003 and done many specials beginning that very year with Hurricane Katrina.

As Muir begins, NBC’s Brian Williams will be missing from his anchor role for a few weeks while he has his knee operated on that was injured and has been painful ever since he was playing in a high school football game. Williams has had three earlier surgeries on that knee, but it had weekend give him the kind of pain that wouldn’t let him sleep at night. At that point, he knew he had to have a fourth surgery.

Television ratings are watched closely by companies and businesses who want their products to be seen for the millions of dollars each of them regularly pay for advertising. When it comes to news channels, Fox News is the number one channel watched more than network news or other cable news channels. CNN is a distant second. And MSNBC is hardly watched at all. NBC news is the least watched of the network newscasts.

All of that brings us to the following story:

OUR PRESIDENT SAYS "AMERICA IS THE SAFEST IT"S BEEN IN 30 YEARS"

A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage.  Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to devour her under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.  A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’ The Harley rider replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really.  The lion was behind bars.  I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.’ The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed.  I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page.  So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?’ The biker replies “I’m a U.S. Marine, and a Republican”. The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH ……  and THAT pretty much sums up the media’s approach to the news these days.

PRIME MINISTER OF ENGLAND DAVID CAMERON WARNS ISIS IS READY

The contrast between the Prime Minister of England and the President of the United States is stark. David Cameron is preparing his country for an imminent attack from Isis. While President Obama says America is safer now than at any other time in three decades.  Isis is at the Juarez/US border along with Al Qaeda,with full plans to invade . Listen to David Cameron and decide which leader is doing the wiser thing. – Ray

 

PRIME MINISTER OF ENGLAND DAVID CAMERON WARNS ISIS IS READY

WORLDWIDE MORNING EDITION FROM RAY August 21, 2014

WORLDWIDE NEWS FROM RAY

Hello America. Hello world.

From the headquarters of reachmorenow.com in Fort Worth, Texas, this is Ray Mossholder and this is the news.

Journalist James Foley beheaded

Any idea that Isis is not targeting Americans ended yesterday in Syria when a freelance reporter for Global Post, James Foley, was mercilessly beheaded. Foley had been missing and unaccounted for since November of 2012.

Immediately the beheading was placed on Facebook and only later removed. The speaker for Isis on the video said this was an act of retaliation for America’s recent airstrikes that helped the Kurdish recapture Mosul Dam.

Isis also claimed to be holding another American journalist, Joel Sotloff, who has also been missing for a year.

James Foley was in Syria describing the chaos there. He was just leaving a restaurant when he was kidnapped.

Foley had already gone through 44 days of captivity at the hands of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. That time he was kidnapped along with three other journalists near Benghazi in northern Libya. One of the journalists was killed during that kidnapping.

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi

 

Foley later got his revenge when he returned from Syria to Libya to cover Gaddafi’s fall and eventual death. He and GlobalPost correspondent Tracey Shelton reported from the scene of Gaddafi’s capture.

The war in Syria has now taken 170,000 lives.

Isis is demanding America to leave Iraq, and warns that much more harm will come to Americans for as long as it doesn’t.

 

Something Isis didn’t think about is what that hideous beheading did to the American mindset about going back to Iraq and Syria to wipe the terrorists out. That mindset has shifted in one day. President Obama was sickened by the beheading of 40-year-old James Foley.

The Pentagon also shared that our military launched an unsuccessful rescue attempt, but didn’t say when it took place, that “involved air and ground components and was focused on a particular captor network within Isil”. They did say that attempt wasn’t made “within the last two weeks.”

Lisa Monaco, President Obama’s top counterterrorism aide, said in a separate statement “The President authorized action earlier this summer. The action was taken because it was the national security assessment that these hostages were in danger with each passing day in Isil custody.”

 

This is a very tough moment for Barack Obama who campaigned before each of his elections that he would be bringing all of our troops home from war. But now, after the video Isis called “A Message To America” that threatened attacks by Isis in our own country, was released on Wednesday, he is gravely rethinking that promise.

Our President called Foley’s beheading “an act of violence that shocked the conscience of the entire world.” He said Isis has killed innocent civilians, subjected women and children to torture, rape and slavery and targeted Muslims, Christians, and religious minorities. “So Isis speaks for no religion. Their victims are overwhelmingly Muslim, and no faith teaches people to pass secure innocents. No just God would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day. Isis has no ideology of any value to human beings. Their ideology is bankrupt.”

Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States would “never back down in the face of such evil.”

The Committee To Protect Journalists that has its base in America estimates there are at least 20 journalists who are in the hands of Isis. Isis has threatened to kill more of them if America does not leave Iraq.

**********

Similar reactions to James Foley’s beheading have caused more and more Western national leaders to become aware of the hideous dangers the terrorist group Isis poses on not just America, but the whole world. England’s Sunday edition of The Telegraph, carried a front-page story showing a picture of Prime Minister David Cameron and repeating Winston Churchill sounding rallying cry to the nation that they must get ready to stop Isis before it stops England.

Prime Minister of England David Cameron

 

His message to the people of England was :

“Islamic militants in Iraq are planning to attack us here in the UK. If we do not act to stem the onslaught of this exceptionally dangerous terrorist movement, it will only grow stronger until it can target us on the streets of Britain. We are in the middle of a generational struggle against a poisonous ideology which I believe we will be fighting for the rest of my political lifetime.

Already Isis controls not just thousands of minds, but thousands of square miles of territory, sweeping aside much of the boundary between Iraq and Syria to carve out his so-called caliphate.

The creation of an extremist caliphate in the heart of Iraq and extending into Syria is not a problem miles away from home. Nor is it a problem that should be defined by a war ten years ago. It is our concern here and now.

This is a clear danger to Europe and to our security. It is a daunting challenge. But it is not an invincible one, as long as we are now ready and able to summon up the political will to defend our values and way of life with the same determination, courage and tenacity as we have faced danger before in our history. That is how much is at stake here; we have no choice but to rise to the challenge.”

Madame Tussaud’s waxwork of

Prime Minister of England Winston Churchill during

World War II

 

The Prime Minister disclosed that the United Kingdom has already taken down 28,000 pieces of terrorist related material from the web, including 46 Isis videos. Mister Cameron said “The position is clear. If people are walking around with Isil flags or trying to recruit people to their terrorist cause they will be arrested and their materials will be seized.”

Prime Minister Cameron concluded, “We are tolerant people, but no tolerance should allow the room for this sort of poisonous extremism in our country.”

He said he would use next month’s NATO conference in Wales to “help rally support across the international community” for the Kurdish people.

Prime Minister David Cameron should be applauded for this speech by every free citizen and every human who longs to be free. It is refreshing to see how much he wants to stop Isis. He sounds like Winston Churchill at the start and throughout the nightly bombings of Britain during the Second World War that kept England able to cope as he told it like it was.

Then David Cameron went on to say, “I agree that we should avoid sending armies to fight or occupy, but we need to recognize that the brighter future we long for requires a long-term plan for our security as well as one for our economy.” He said his plan to stop Isis is to work closely with Iran and with other Arabic nations like Saudi Arabia and Cutter (Quatar) in their war against Isis.

I want you to think about the answer Prime Minister Cameron has given to, in his mind, delete Isis as a threat to anyone. And as you analyze his answer, recognize that your life, your children and grandchildren’s lives, depend on getting this right.

Here are some facts to help you decide: Iran and Cutter have vowed themselves to the destruction of both Israel and America. And they have fully declared their hatred for every Jew worldwide. Saudi Arabia has the strictest of Shariah law of any country.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

has vowed to destroy both Israel and America

 

Do you believe the answer to stop Isis is to give the green light to Iran to finish building their nuclear bomb? Because when nations that could stop Iran from building their bomb become their allies instead, it’s easy to see why it would be hard for them to order Iran to stop building it.

Does every lady listening desire to wear a burqa and be completely under male dominance to do with you whatever they like?

And do all of you who are listening find it okay in your thinking to denounce whatever you believe now and join Islam who wants to replace all other laws with strict Shariah law or kill you?

The Bible says there will come a time when all the nations of the world will unite against Israel and that unity will conclude at the Battle of Armageddon. The signs of the time are becoming so obvious that it’s time for every Christian to trim their lamps and keep then trimmed.

For the umpteenth time, actually the eleventh time, Hamas in Gaza has broken its cease-fire with Israel. They did it while supposed “peace talks” between Israel and Hamas were going on in Cairo. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told Hamas from the beginning that if they lobbed more killer rockets into any part of Israel, the peace talks with and at that moment and Israel would be ready to do what they began to do – annihilate Hamas and its power.

It was early yesterday morning that Hamas violated the cease-fire agreement and launched three rockets into an area between Beersheva and Netivot. Netanyahu’s spokesman responded with these words: “This is the eleventh cease-fire that Hamas has either rejected or violated, and it’s clear that a cease-fire has to be a two-way street. It’s not just that Israel hold its fire. Hamas must hold its fire too.

 

The Palestinian people are reportedly greatly upset that Hamas broke the cease-fire. One of them, Mohammed Habib said “We want to be able to live, to be able to return to our houses even if I have set up a tent in what once was my house. But to stay like this , homeless, one day I am staying at a school, another at a hospital or at my sister’s place or in other places. That’s very tiring. We want this to end.” If Israel agreed to what Hamas insists upon, Hamas would keep their weapons, including their rockets, and there is no reason at all to believe they would stop firing them into Israel.

Gaza also wants to have control of the border crossings between Gaza and Israel, which would allow more weaponry to be brought into Gaza whenever it is requested.

Israel wants all weapons taken away from Hamas once and for all. Hamas words to Israel obviously can’t be accepted after their constantly breaking cease-fires. Since Hamas means to carry through with their desire to annihilate Israel, what would you do if you were Israel’s Prime Minister?

As Hamas rockets struck, Israel wasted no time in striking back – targeting Hamas rocket Commander Mohammed Yassin Dalu (no picture available), who Hamas now declares has been killed. Following the death of the Commander and his family in their home, Hamas issued a statement declaring “Israel’s Defense Force has opened the gates of hell.”

The gates of hell

 

A spokesman for the IDF replied “Israeli cities are under rocket attack. Millions of Israelis are running to bomb shelters. Hamas made its decision. Now we will make ours.”

Ten rockets have been fired into Israel in the past hour.

A new Prime Minister is being transitioned into the leadership of Iraq. The past eight years under former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al–Malecki, have been years of division. Under Shiite rule, Al-Malecki made life extremely difficult for the Sunnis. Now Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi intends to right many wrongs. With so many wars raging in his country, this will be a monumental task. A new cabinet should be ready to aid Al-Abadi within 30 days.

Last night I shared with you that it was becoming obvious in spite of all their military equipment, the Russian-trained rebels in Ukraine were suddenly losing their war. Nothing could have made that plainer than the two quick-fire losses that the rebels experience yesterday.

First, Alexander Boradi, the premiere of the self proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and Igor Strelkov (no picture available), his military commander – the two men who had formed and led the rebel forces against Ukraine since April – suddenly departed Ukraine, making it clear to their troops that they would not be back. Both men were from Moscow. The fear among the rebels now is that there will be more departures.

Alexander Boradi, the Premiere of the self proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, now fled back to Russia

 

Recently the EU and the United States began arming the Ukrainian military with state-of-the-art weaponry. The rebels were suddenly outgunned. A rebel spokesman told reporters that Boradi and Strelkov (whose real name is Igor Girkin) “slipped into Russia last week under cover provided by armed separatists. The spokesman said “We are in a critical stage. Everything is coming to a head.”

The EU in America had as one of its demands to Vladimir Putin before they would even consider loosening some of the sanctions they are holding against Russia, that he cut off all financial aid to the Russian-speaking rebels. Evidently, Putin has carried through with their demand.

The rebel regions new “Prime Minister” Alexander Zacharchenko (no picture available) said in a video yesterday after Stelkov’s resignation that 1200 Russian-trained fighters and more than 100 military vehicles would quickly be added to their forces. Although many people from both sides of the conflict saw the video, Zakarchenko now denies saying that.

A rebel named Yevgeniy said there were no plans among the rebels to retreat or surrender. “We have nowhere to go.”

 

**********

As if to cut their losses in Russia over Ukraine, Vladimir Putin said yesterday that he was going to strengthen his Navy with more advanced weapons during the next 6 years.

Defense Minister Sirgei Shoigu said this new strategy “must ensure that our forces are re-equipped with modern weapons and military equipment, and it must also improve the operational readiness of Russian naval forces in locations posing the greatest strategic threats. I will not hide that this is in large part linked to events of recent months.” (a statement that obviously had to do with their attempt to strengthen the Russian rebels in Ukraine).

Meanwhile, President Obama has unveiled a one billion dollar security plan for Eastern Europe with the aim of helping strengthen on Russia’s western periphery by building more modern armies. Some of some of the President’s critics are pointing out that he is helping to build stronger military in Europe while he continues to shrink America’s military. They find this confusing and upsetting.

Outgoing NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in his final address that Putin’s ambitions “go way beyond Ukraine” and that Putin’s immediate goal includes Russia’s incorporation of two Russian speaking ex-Soviet states – Moldova and two sections of Georgia. For the moment, with a surprise ending to his rebel plans in Ukraine, he is on pause with both goals.

Right now Putin has some very definite challenges to his new goal of strengthening Russia’s Navy. One of them is money. Another is the knowledge of how to do it. He is frustrated with what he sees as Americans globalization and our relationship with many countries. To counter this, he is courting a relationship with Red China. This is something for us to keep an eye on because both countries – biblically called Gog and Magog – are the strongest powers in end–time prophecy. For those who doubt the Bible, answer the question to your own satisfaction – how did God know thousands of years ago Russia and Red China would begin now to work towards an alliance?

One of Putin’s major promises prior to his 2012 election was that he would nearly double Russia’s military spending over the coming ten years to 23 trillion rubles which is equal to six hundred and thirty-five billion American dollars or 475 billion Euros. What Putin couldn’t have known at that time was that Russia’s economy would weaken so very badly.

Another stumbling block for Russia is the sheer fact that their factories lack the technology for building greater weaponry. They’ve tried outsizing, but that hasn’t worked either. Until Russia’s economy is far better Putin has to put his vision on hold. He hasn’t asked yet to borrow President Obama’s money printing press.

Here in the United States, after all the good he’s tried to do this past week, the nearly twice impeached Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri is being criticized again for his statement yesterday that “a vigorous prosecution must now begin” for the policeman who shot Michael Brown. That statement is not sitting well with the police and with many Ferguson citizens.

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon

 

One of the reasons Nixon may have uttered that statement is because Federal Attorney General Eric Holder arrived yesterday in Ferguson. He will be accompanied by a huge number of the FBI. Many fear a hanging court is about to be set up.

Governor Nixon did refuse to remove St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch from the case in spite of some cries from the black community. McCulloch’s father, mother, brother, uncle, and cousin all work or have worked for the St. Louis Police Department.

The past two nights in Ferguson and been the worst nights of all since Michael Brown’s death eleven days ago. Last night a peaceful protest that began to dissolve, someone in that crowd through a plastic water bottle at the police. Immediately, helmeted police officers, some with heavy weapons and attack dogs, appeared. More bottles were thrown. The police ordered everyone to leave and then they chased down those who had thrown the bottles. 47 people were arrested as the police seized several loaded guns. There was no shooting.

What Eric Holder and the FBI can accomplish in coming into this melee will most likely only be seen discovered in the next few days.

The streets of Ferguson were relatively quiet last night, but it is not known whether it was Holder being in Ferguson with this swarms of FBI agents, or a storm that made the streets very unpleasant the whole night.

A brand-new story that could change everything emerged yesterday. It’s a mystery why this hadn’t been released at the time of the killing of Michael Brown. But all of the information since the shooting has slowly trickled-down with something new every day that changes or contradicts earlier information. This game changer, if it can be proven, has come out the eleventh day after Michael Brown’s death.

Fox News is reporting that police officer Darren Wilson suffered severe facial injuries, including an eye socket fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown, moments before firing his gun. The Assistant Police Chief rushed Wilson to the hospital, “his face all swollen on one side.”

According to what Fox calls “a well-placed source”, when Officer Wilson first encountered Michael and his friend, Dorain Johnson, they were walking in the middle of the street and obstructing traffic. The two young men were asked by Wilson to move to the curb. “They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move. They shoved him right back in and started beating Officer Wilson in the head and face. Brown tried to get Wilson’s gun. It went off, but no one is sure who pulled the trigger. Brown started to walk away, prompting Wilson to tell him to “freeze.” Brown raised his hands in the air, and turned around saying, “What, you’re going to shoot me?”

At that point the 6 foot, 4 inch, 292 pound Brown charged Wilson, prompting the officer to fire six shots at him, including the fatal bullet that penetrated the top of Brown’s skull.

 

Officer Wilson received a fractured eye socket during the confrontation. According to the source, “He is now traumatized, scared for his life and family, injured and terrified that a grand jury will make a rush to judgment and make some kind of example out of him.”

The source also said the dashboard and body cameras, which may end up supplying crucial evidence, had been ordered by Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, has only recently arrived and has not been viewed yet.

When Fox phoned the St. Louis Police Department they would not return the call to talk about officer Wilson’s alleged facial damage. Instead, they have said they will keep their presentation of the facts to the grand jury for the grand jury only, and will not be sharing it with the general public.

Nabil Khattar, CEO of 7Star industries, which trains police officers in the use of firearms, law enforcement and special operations personnel, confirmed that the police are trained to use deadly force any time an officer is in danger of being killed or suffering great bodily injury.”

The grand jury began hearing evidence today.

at any

Texas Governor Rick Perry looks great even when he’s getting a mugshot! Rick was booked on Tuesday with two felony charges that had to do with a supposed “abuse of office.” No one wanted to arrest the governor, so he turned himself in to the Travis County Court yesterday. Governor Perry has pleaded not guilty and told reporters “I’m going to fight this injustice with every fiber of my being, and we will prevail because were standing for the rule of law.”

Even far left leaning Democrats are saying the charges against Perry are ridiculous. Those making it know how silly the charges are. Their intent is to waste the time Governor Perry still has an office so that he can’t complete goals he has planned before his retirement from office in January 2015. They also would like to trip him up and cast aspersions on him so that it will be harder for Perry to run for President in 2016. Those plans may have already backfired because of the joke this whole indictment is. Governor Perry is getting a lot of attention from the press that he may capitalize on his bid for the presidency.

The whole issue arose because Governor Perry used his veto power to stop Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat who had been arrested three times for drunk driving. Unbelievably, Rosemary Lehmberg is the head of the Texas Public Integrity Unit. She refused to leave office and filed the indictment instead.

Rick Perry has been governor of Texas for fourteen years. He is greatly loved by the majority of the state for his integrity and his strength in dealing with issues – the kind of strength that has sent the National Guard to the Rio Grande border to carry out the will of the people of Texas.

Arizona, one of the driest states in all 50, has been hit with a devastating downpour of rain of up to 8 inches by noon yesterday in Phoenix and the surrounding areas. Traffic was snarled and there were many auto accidents, though none were fatal. Storms are expected in the Phoenix area for several more days.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said she was glued to her television set all day long yesterday, watching a multitude of rescues. She said “It looked absolutely devastating. For the last 10, 15 years we’ve never seen anything the likes of this.

The problem began in 2010 when a volcano – and I kid you not – with the name not one of the 50 news sources I use could pronounce! – You try pronouncing capital Eyjafjallajokull. The best I can do is EYE-AF-JALLA-JOKULL and I no doubt just slaughtered its name!

Anyway this volcano blew its top in 2010, spewing an ash cloud so heavy that airplanes couldn’t fly through it. It cost the airlines millions of dollars because they had to go completely around it, adding not only to frequent flyer miles for every passenger, but to the miles themselves for as long as it chose to blow.

Evidently another volcano saw what EYE-AF-JALLA-JOKULL did and thought it was funny. At least it was a volcano I can correctly pronounce – Bardarbunga. (I wonder what Icelanders name their kids!)

Bardarbunga hasn’t stopped any airplanes yet, but meteorologists describe what’s going on in it as a “intense earthquake swarm.” That has caused 2,600 just over this weekend – in fact, from Saturday morning to Monday evening there’s been a whole lot of shakin’ going on.

The largest earthquake happened Monday morning, causing Icelandic authorities to raise an orange aviation alert that indicates “heightened or escalating unrest with increased potential of eruption.” (I used to have a friend with that problem.) The airlines are getting nervous, trying not to make an ash of itself. No visibility is definitely a handicap for any pilot.

Here’s what the combined European airlines are saying about all this. “Europe is more prepared to deal with volcanic ash these days… Every year, volcanic ash exercises are conducted and we learn from them… However, volcanic ash is still a hazard for aviation and does have the potential to cause disruption. Safety is, as ever, our primary concern.” That’s a comforting thing to know when you begin to fly over a belching volcano.

Anybody listening think you’re getting old?

 

Well, compare yourself with 111-year-old Sakari Momoi (picture not available) – who Guinness Book of World Records has just declared the oldest man in the world.

Momoi was born in Japan but now lives in a retirement home in Tokyo. Of course, men seldom live as long as women. The oldest human alive today is 116–year–old Misao Okawa who lives in Osaka, Japan. Maybe Sushi is a great health food after all!

Today’s oldest man was born February 5, 1903. He was a math teacher in his home city of Fukushima. Momoi says he still loves reading books, especially Chinese poetry. He has five children who are in their 70s or older and are still going strong.

 

Still not convinced that you’re not old? How about noticing the age of these people – Senator Dianne Feinstein is 81; Senator Orrin Hatch will be 81 on the 29th of this month and John McCain will be 78 on the same day; Senator Chuck Grassley is 80; Governor Jerry Brown of California is 75; Nancy Pelosi is 74 and Harry Reid is 74; former President Jimmy Carter is 89 and former President George Bush Senior is 90; Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 81; and both Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy are 78: Television’s Jim Baker is 75 and Dr. Pat Robertson is 84; Dr. Billy Graham is 95 and Pope Francis is 77; and the kid on that worldwide pogo stick that never stops is John Kerry who is 70.

These well-known people could start a fire

by just blowing out there candles.

And they are still going strong.

 

Are you feeling better now?
