The Low Fat-Fable

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi , signs the articles of impeachment during an engrossment ceremony before taking them over to the Senate on Wednesday , January 15 , 2020 .
“ Time will prove this to be a deadly curse on the United States !
” Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote that statement in November 2006 , following a dramatic midterm election in which the Democrats won a strong majority in the House of Representatives and Nancy Pelosi became speaker of the House .
Today , 13 years later , Speaker Pelosi finally sent the articles of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ next battle in the radical left ’ s war to bring down America ’ s president .
She held onto the articles for weeks , hoping to pressure Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to compromise with Democrats in conducting the Senate trial .
But Leader McConnell didn ’ t budge .
Like most Americans , he knows the impeachment articles are as weak and worthless as the now infamous Steele dossier .
In that 2006 article , Mr .
Flurry warned that the midterm election and the rise of Pelosi were a landmark @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politics forever.
” At the time , this seemed to many to be a pretty extreme observation ; to be sure , it was a daring forecast .
This prophecy was fulfilled today—and it is being fulfilled every day Ms. Pelosi and her colleagues show up for work !
The scale of irrationality and absurdity now being exhibited by Speaker Pelosi , many House Democrats , and radical leftist media is incomprehensible to most people .
There is only one explanation for such an outright rejection of evidence and facts , for such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the American Constitution : The source of this behavior is deep hatred .
But they don ’ t just hate Donald Trump , or even Trump supporters ; they hate Judeo-Christian America , its history , and many of its traditions and institutions .
America ’ s government is indeed suffering an unprecedented “ deadly curse.
” America ’ s politics have changed forever !
Some today consider Nancy Pelosi a calm , steadying force in the Democratic Party .
Some say she is keeping a lid on the more extreme , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her hastily “ shushing ” an eruption of applause when the House officially passed impeachment articles in mid-December ? )
Many believe Pelosi was forced against her will to undertake impeachment , that radicals in “ the Squad ” bullied her into it , and that her heart isn ’ t really in it .
This is all wrong .
Today it is plain that the Democratic Party in Congress is far more radical than it was in 2006 , when Nancy Pelosi became speaker .
The congresswoman might be a long-time “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the House , but she is no moderate and has never been a bulwark against radicalism .
The party , as the Atlantic admitted last spring , has moved left , “ where Pelosi has been all along.
” The Democratic Party hasn ’ t accidentally slid into leftist radicalism against the wishes of its speaker ; it has been deliberately transformed by Nancy Pelosi !
Some say that Pelosi is nothing like newer congressional Democrats like Ilhan Omar , Rashida Tlaib or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez .
The truth is , these extremist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pro ; they all have the same radical leftist dna !
Elected as House minority leader in 2002 and speaker in 2006 , Ms. Pelosi has been outspoken and unapologetic about her “ San Francisco values.
” Compared to her younger colleagues , she is shrewder and has been around long enough to know that many Americans do not respond willingly to sudden , dramatic , revolutionary change .
The same is true for her political ally , Barack Obama .
This community organizer warned the Democrats two months ago about appearing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision , we also have to be rooted in reality , ” Mr. Obama said .
“ The average American doesn ’ t think we have to completely tear down the system and remake it.
” Pelosi often appears poised and fair-minded , especially compared to the strident behavior of the Squad .
But she has captained the Democratic Party in Congress for 13 years .
Its transformation into a lawless , intensely secular , anti-American , tradition-hating , well-nigh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stewardship .
This woman , and the extremist agenda she embodies and advances , have become a “ deadly curse ” to America , exactly as Mr .
Flurry said 13 years ago .
Recall what he wrote in that article ( emphasis added ) : The new speaker of the House is a Democrat from San Francisco , Nancy Pelosi .
This liberal woman , who is now second in line for the presidency after Vice President Dick Cheney , is pro-abortion and pro-homosexual marriage ; she wants to allocate federal spending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on unborn babies .
Democrats are excited by the fact that “ San Francisco values ” now echo through Washington ’ s halls .
Is this what America needs ?
Prior to the elections , one newspaper stated , “ If Democrats win , Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will be speaker and her far-left San Francisco values—gay marriage , cutting and running from Iraq , coddling terrorists , raising taxes , amnesty for illegals—will become the House agenda ” ( Augusta Chronicle , Oct. 28 , 2006 ) .
San Francisco values will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American government .
And they have , with enormous success .
Today Nancy Pelosi ’ s “ San Francisco values ” are no longer confined to the House , or seen as controversial at all .
Homosexual “ marriage ” is now legal nationwide and accepted even by Republicans .
The battle is now over the transgender agenda , over which Republicans are basically in an orderly retreat .
Since her election , Pelosi has played a major role in seeding those values .
Now , she is working to take down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States in an impeachment trial based on hearsay and what Attorney General William Barr terms “ divined ” motives .
And in an eerily prescient analysis , Mr .
Flurry continued to describe Pelosi ’ s 2006 election victory as a victory for Iran and the terrorists , something vividly pertinent today .
“ Time will prove this to be a deadly curse on the United States !
” he wrote .
“ In these elections , the United States surrendered to Iran and the terrorists.
” Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei @ @ @ @ @ @ @ midterm elections .
He said the election of Democrats was an “ obvious victory for the Iranian nation ” !
The reason for such sentiments have become clear some 13 years on , with President Obama saving Iran from sanctions , sending the nation huge amounts of cash , and negotiating the infamous Iran nuclear deal .
Now the Democratic Party is virtually mourning the killing of the world ’ s worst terrorist , Qassem Suleimani .
Many think of this murderer more positively than they do President Donald Trump !
Mr .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ We are in a war against terrorism , and top terrorist leaders are rejoicing and celebrating with the Democrats.
” Over the past two weeks , we have seen Democratic figures openly sympathizing with Iran ’ s genocidal ayatollah .
What has happened to America ’ s Democratic Party ?
Why have they become so radical ?
What has happened to America ?
You need to read this article from Mr .
Flurry : “ Midterm Elections—A Disaster for America.
” It is even more pertinent today than it was 13 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the political crises besieging America today were prophesied some 2,700 years ago in a stunning biblical passage that goes so far as to highlight the false appropriation of the term “ liberals.
” This article , together with our free booklet America Under Attack , explains what happened today in Washington , d.c .
This literature shows that Nancy Pelosi ’ s actions today , and her political arrival as House speaker in November 2006 , were no accident .
It explains the source of the extreme hate coursing through the Democratic Party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in chief Gerald Flurry was able to prophesy this exact moment 13 years ago .

For decades, we have been told that obesity and heart disease epidemics were caused by fat. The experts theorized that because fat is high in calories it cannot make a lean body. The original 1992 edition of the United States Department of Agriculture “food pyramid” went so far as to recommend up to 11 daily servings of bread, cereal, rice and pasta.
“Fat makes you fat” made sense to people and their doctors, and it created a demand for foods that had been processed to remove fat content. Food factories replaced animal fats with sugars and other carbohydrates as the foundation of a healthy diet. They developed a slew of reduced-fat products bulked up with sugar and infused with artery-corroding trans-fats.
But the science behind the low-fat, high-carb diet was thin. Today, knowledge of nutrition has advanced, and many studies support the conclusion that low-fat diets are actually harmful.
Always Hungry author David Ludwig says these additives in low-fat foods created an “insulin-carbohydrate” situation that interferes with the self-balancing equilibrium of the body and causes obesity. Sugars and other carbohydrates break down into glucose in the blood, prompting the pancreas to produce excess insulin. This causes overeating and subsequent weight gain.
This simple, recognized science was ignored by the American Heart Association, which dove into the mix with its “heart healthy” white check seal of approval, implying that these processed wares were healthier than even whole, fresh foods (Oxford Academic).
Instead of becoming healthier, Americans grew fatter and sicker. Obesity rates, at 15 percent from 1950 to 1980, more than doubled to 35 percent by 2000.
Investigative journalist Nina Teicholz wrote that the last 40 years of nutritional science have been politicized and deeply flawed, a large-scale experiment that delivered a cure worse than the ailment.
Low-fat diets lead to deficiencies of Vitamins A, D, E and K because the body is unable to absorb them without sufficient fat intake. This increases the risk of brittle bones, a compromised immune system, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and multiple sclerosis. A review of 26 studies with more than 1 million participants also demonstrated a risk of stroke with low dietary fat intake.
Dr. Aseem Malhotra, of the Public Health Collaboration, stated that dietary guidelines promoting low-fat foods were “perhaps the biggest mistake in modern medical history.”
There are three main types of fats: trans fats, saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Manufactured trans fats added to processed foods raise unhealthy ldl cholesterol levels while simultaneously lowering healthy hdl levels. Though practically eliminated from the food supply due to a 2015 fda ban, they still exist in some manufacturing processes. These truly are “evil” fats.
But saturated fats from natural foods like dairy, coconut oil or red meats, when consumed in the proper amounts, are healthy for you. People have been eating them and benefiting from them for thousands of years. Unsaturated fats, which can be either monounsaturated (olive oil) or polyunsaturated (tuna and salmon), are also healthy. Your body requires these fats to protect cell membranes and bones; prevent heart disease; improve liver, lung and kidney function, immune system and detoxification; increase metabolism; and help weight loss (Sanesco).
Some unsaturated fats are bad for you. These unnatural polyunsaturated fats include cooking oils from canola, sunflower, corn, soybean, cottonseed, safflower, grape seed and most commercial vegetable oils. Processing techniques cause them to become rancid before you buy them, even though this rancidity is masked by other additives.
Avoiding dietary fat is unwise and has damaged the health of millions of people. To avoid confusion, remember these three principles: 1) eat natural, nutritious whole foods; 2) avoid processed foods; and 3) portion your meals to what you need, not what you want.
Healthy fats are a primary energy source, and you must consume essential fatty acids to support the basic functions of your body. Daily fat requirements vary from person to person, but focus on eating healthy fats with each meal and working up from there until you are satiated.
The Creator of the human body wants to see you thrive with abundant health. He actually specifically endorses saturated fats like butter, milk, cheese and red meat (Genesis 18:8; 2 Samuel 17:29).
Even in today’s misguided world of poor nutrition, you can apply God’s biblical principles and experience the wonderful health blessings He created you to enjoy.


thetrumpet--2020-01-16--Report: British Police told to Ignore Pakistani Rape Gangs

( From left ) Democratic presidential hopefuls Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren , former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders gather ahead of the sixth Democratic primary debate of the 2020 presidential campaign season on Dec. 19 , 2019 .
The Democrats are divided—this does not bode well for America .
Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker dropped out of the nomination race on January 13 .
He became the latest high-profile exit from the congested Democrat field , following Beto O ’ Rourke , Sen. Kamala Harris and Julian Castro .
It is the reaction to his and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that has exposed a dangerous aspect of the left ’ s mentality .
The diversity of candidates in the race for the Democratic Party nomination had been the subject of much celebration , showing the success of the social justice movement across the spectrum of feminism , the lesbian-gay-bissexual-transgender-queer agenda and classism .
Central to this diversification has been the advent and growth of “ intersectionality , ” a term coined by black feminist Kimberlé Crenshaw to “ categorize and formalize people according to their race , gender , age , wealth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ orientation.
” The thesis asserts that these criteria can overlap to create unique and more severe forms of discrimination .
Intersectionality can thus be viewed as different levels in a building : A white man would be on the ground floor , a white woman on the second , a black woman on the third , and an lgbtq black woman would be on the top floor as the most discriminated against .
Essentially , it argues , the more “ oppressed characteristics ” you possess at once , the more discrimination you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are than those with fewer such characteristics .
According to Time , the principle at the core of intersectionality is exemplified by the idea that “ all women do not share the same levels of discrimination just because they are all women.
” This alleged discrimination has been contended by the concurrent rise of the feminist movement , the lgbtq agenda , and increasing emphasis on racial diversity in an effort to bring everyone to the same level .
The crowded Democratic primary nomination field was a clear indication of just how successful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the original 29 candidates , six were women , six were minorities , and one was homosexual .
Among the remaining 13 are four women , two racial minorities and one homosexual , making this Democratic primary field the most diverse in history .
But now it seems that although the acknowledgment of intersectionality is credited with allowing such diversification in the primary field , the lack of racial diversity among the frontrunners is leaving more and more Democrats disgruntled .
Along with candidate Andrew Yang and Sen. Cory Booker , Castro and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The fact that Yang is the only candidate left is causing members across the party to question what has led to this juncture .
Although the answers vary in specifics , many start from one launching pad : systemic racism .
Intersectionality essentially argues that the more checkboxes one ticks , the more discriminated against one is .
It does not , however , address whether one discrimination is worse than another .
The Democratic Party ’ s reaction to the shrinking democratic primary field , however , seems to answer that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Axelrod called it “ awkward ” that the frontrunners of the “ most diverse ” party are all white .
Howard Dean , former chair of the Democratic National Convention , asserted that certain party systems perpetuate racism and are an “ embarrassment ” to the party .
Rep. Filemon Vela believes that the party ’ s structures “ disadvantage minority candidates without question.
” Former Democratic National Convention ( dnc ) official Leah Daughtry said institutional racism is “ everywhere in this country , present in all of our institutions.
” The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clearly valued more than Mayor Pete Buttigieg ’ s homosexuality intersectionality or Tulsi Gabbard ’ s and Marianne Williamson ’ s female intersectionality .
The intersectionality of these candidates is not enough to compensate for the fact that they are white .
The “ checkboxes ” of being a woman or being lgbtq are being put up against that of race , and it appears they are coming in second place .
Rep. Barbara Lee said , “ Systemic racism permeates everything in this country.
” She further questioned whether white Democrats are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system is biased and prevents others from coming through.
” Cory Booker was using this very belief to generate political and actual capital , referencing Julian Castro ’ s exit as a campaign point for himself , telling donors that “ it would be a shame if there aren ’ t any candidates of color ” on the dnc debate stage for want of financial support .
The argument of systemic racism is strange considering the fact that the last United States president was black .
He was elected by a majority white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the electoral college and the popular votes by a significant margin .
In addition , a Gallup poll shows that an average 95 percent of Americans today are willing to vote in a black , Hispanic or female candidate—more than at any time in U.S. history .
In fact , most black and Hispanic voters are supporting candidate Joe Biden or Senator Sanders—both white men .
But Democrats have an answer for this as well .
According to Addisu Demissie , Booker ’ s campaign manager , Biden and Sanders have the votes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says systemic racism makes it a gamble to try to repeat an Obama-style minority victory .
“ You have to answer two questions when you ’ re running for president , ” she wrote .
“ One is should you be president , and the other is could you be president .
And if you are a white man you do not have to answer that second question.
” Walter Williams , professor at George Mason University , called this the new racism : This is the new racism , much of it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s colleges .
George Orwell said , “ Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.
” The stupid ideas about inclusion and diversity originate with academics on college campuses .
If their ideas didn ’ t infect the rest of society , they might be a source of entertainment .
But these cancerous ideas have infected society .
Statements such as “ I ’ m over white men running the country , ” or “ If we have two old white guys at the top of this ticket , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cancer .
Leading politicians and political figures are promoting the idea that racism is at the heart of the country , even their own party .
They are only further cultivating the seeds of animosity that already exist in this country .
Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry writes in Ezekiel : The End-Time Prophet , “ There is deep racial division and hatred in America.
” This division , Mr .
Flurry continues , is brought about by “ [ p ] ast wrongs and present inequalities , ” which “ create @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anger .
Many prominent leaders , both black and white , are deliberately fueling those grievances for their own political gain .
They are using race as a deadly weapon !
The problems that will result are far more dangerous than they realize ” ( emphasis added ) .
Sensitivity surrounding the topic of race is higher than it has ever been .
Politicians are using it to gain political capital .
At what point will their speech go beyond assertions of systemic racism to instances of inflammatory language ?
The U.S. is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are aware of the division gripping the nation , and most believe it is headed toward another civil war .
Bible prophecy says that the racial divide , which was central to the first Civil War , will be at the core of the division that will launch America into another .
God inspired the Prophet Isaiah to record what would happen to America in this end time : “ Your country is desolate , your cities are burned with fire : your land , strangers devour it in your presence , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strangers ” ( Isaiah 1:7 ) .
Mr .
Flurry comments on this verse in America Under Attack ( request your free copy here ) : The false statements propagated by the Democratic Party are adding to the undercurrent of division that will spark the violence and implosion of the United States .
It will , however , be coming upon us for a purpose , a “ precisely measured ” purpose of preparing the people to know God .
Once the people remember God , turn to Him , and look to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and division , the true answers and true peace will finally come .

Police in Manchester, England, were told to investigate other ethnicities and ignore Pakistani rape gangs operating in the city, revealed a report published by the Greater Manchester Police on January 14.
Two years ago, the report was commissioned to investigate the failings of Operation Augusta, the effort by the Greater Manchester Police to identify and neutralize rape gangs exploiting young teenage girls, some of them still children.
Operation Augusta was launched after the death of Victoria Agoglia, a 15-year-old who was repeatedly raped and died after being injected with heroin by one of her abusers.
Even after that tragic event, the Greater Manchester Police failed to act.
According to the report, it has become clear the police knew that nearly 100 men were abusing girls as young as 12. The gangs were predominantly comprised of Pakistani men, ages 18 to 50. The girls they targeted were working-class and white. The police knew names, addresses, even locations where the abuse occurred. But did nothing.
A detective with the Manchester police, who declined to give his name, told the Telegraph that his team was told to “try and get other ethnicities.” Another detective told the Telegraph that “girls were lost to the wind” and those involved “should be charged with gross misconduct.”
This is not the first time British authorities have ignored a violent rapist gang in the name of political correctness. Names like Rotherham and Telford bring back painful memories for many who have witnessed or been directly affected by police negligence.
Too many of those who should be maintaining the rule of law on British streets are handicapped by fear of being branded a racist. The leaders of major police forces overseeing Britain’s most populous cities are choosing to safeguard themselves from criticism rather than take action to help those who are oppressed.
The investigation into Operation Augusta and the death of Victoria Agoglia was conducted in a professional, bureaucratic way. Manchester Police produced a detailed report about the abuse inflicted by these gangs. But little changed after Rotherham. Now the same problems afflicting that city are found elsewhere.
It took 15 years from Agoglia’s death until the cover-up was finally exposed. For years, the problem was covered up. It was only revisited when bbc aired a 2017 documentary titled The Betrayed Girls, prompting Manchester Police to investigate if Operation Augusta had solved the problem. What they uncovered was a sign of a sick society.
The investigation, which started in 2017, was only released to the public this month.
Rounding up and imprisoning these gangs is happening at a painfully slow pace—or in some cases, not at all. All while other major cities in Britain are doubtlessly suffering the same tragedy.
A situation like this calls for radical action, but British authorities are tied down by fear of criticism and job loss. A society that tolerates rape gangs and refuses to face unpleasant realities lacks substance and morals.
The Bible describes today’s decay in morality in Britain. Though society may look strong and organized on the outside, inwardly, it is hollow and about to crumble because of rejection of God’s laws. God inspired Hosea to prophesy that modern-day Britain would be “a cake not turned” (Hosea 7:8). (Our free book The United States and Britain in Prophecy, by Herbert W. Armstrong, explains why this message applies to Britain today.) Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry explains this imagery in Hosea—Reaping the Whirlwind: “Britain may look good on the surface. But God says in verse 8 that it is like a ‘cake not turned’—already burned out underneath. British society lacks any real substance.”
A society where rape is tolerated is fundamentally sick. God inspired the Prophet Isaiah to write of modern-day Britain: “[T]he whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment” (Isaiah 1:5-6).
Everyone, whether directly affected by this tragedy or not, needs to know the real solutions to Britain’s rape gang crises. To read more about that hope and how to find it in a hopeless world, read “The Hope That Politicians Can’t Give You,” by Gerald Flurry.

thetrumpet--2020-01-16--Historians Debunk the 1619 Project

Historians Debunk the 1619 Project

Young Winston Spencer Churchill was disadvantaged .
Being born into a wealthy , aristocratic family certainly had enormous advantages , but when you realize the irreplaceable importance of the involvement , teaching , correction , discipline and encouragement of a father and mother , you realize that young Winston suffered a poverty of child rearing .
His father told him he was a failure , and he died when Winston was only 20 .
Despite his pleas , Winston ’ s mother took no interest in him prior to his rise in stature and fame .
As a youth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attention from his father and mother .
Yet he became the greatest statesman in modern history .
How ?
It actually started with failure .
Winston had been a failure in school , and as he became a young man , he recognized that , and he decided to educate himself .
“ The discipline of self-education that Winston so passionately and aggressively practiced during those hot Bangalore afternoons remained with him throughout his life , ” Stephen Mansfield writes , regarding Churchill ’ s intensive studies as a young man in India @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , laying the foundation for the kind of leader he would one day be .
By doing so , he proved that knowledge does not belong alone to the school or the professional , but to the hungry and willing ” ( Never Give In ; emphasis added throughout ) .
He was hungry for knowledge , and for history in particular .
He especially craved the history of his own Anglo-Saxon people and their glorious British Empire .
In God ’ s Church , we must hunger for spiritual knowledge ( see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
That involves a deep and abiding understanding of our spiritual history and God ’ s royal family empire .
In Galatians 6:16 , the Apostle Paul refers to God ’ s Church as the Israel of God .
The history of ancient Israel , going back thousands of years , is a forerunner of the spiritual kingdom of Israel that God is establishing in His Church today .
This glorious history and all that it encompasses is our heritage , our national identity as the Israel of God !
Hungering for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for history .
Winston dedicated himself to reading and learning everything he could from books of history .
He became the greatest statesman of his age by teaching himself .
That ’ s how hungry he was for history .
This is a rare attitude today .
Even college students , whose job it is to study and who have teachers providing them calibrated reading assignments for that purpose , frequently skip their reading and justify it by saying , I just don ’ t have the time .
It is not lack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of history and other subjects .
It is lack of hunger .
Hunger for learning is how Churchill was able to accomplish so much .
His hunger was an active hunger ; his study was an active study .
Among other things , his ravenous consumption of knowledge gave him command of the English language , which in turn endowed him with exceptional writing ability .
He wrote extensively , to say the least , and almost all of his books were works of history .
Why was Churchill great ?
Much of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , read , studied and wrote about history .
Today , most people are caught up in the present and have forgotten even their own history , even their own recent history .
As Hal Brands and Francis Gavin wrote in “ The Historical Profession Is Committing Slow-Motion Suicide , ” “ The study of history , it seems , is itself becoming a relic of the past ” ( Dec. 10 , 2018 ) .
Those who do take interest in history often view the subject through a distorted lens .
Brands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ During the 1960s and after , the discipline was therefore swept by new approaches that emphasized cultural , social and gender history , and that paid greater attention to the experiences of underrepresented and oppressed groups.
” Howard Zinn ’ s popular textbook , A People ’ s History of the United States , even goes to the extreme of portraying America as a dark , evil nation that only gained power and influence by oppressing “ marginalized ” people .
No wonder so many students today hate America !
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That is the “ history ” they are absorbing .
Winston Churchill foresaw this historical amnesia .
In 1931 , the same year he concluded the final volume of The World Crisis , he wrote , “ How strange it is that the past is so little understood and so quickly forgotten .
We live in the most thoughtless of ages.
” Churchill wrote five volumes on the subject of the First World War and its immediate aftermath .
Near the end , he asked , “ Is this the end of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , unprecedented carnage would repeat itself .
And within the decade , that is exactly what started up again .
Following the second world war in his lifetime , Churchill wrote in The Gathering Storm : The Origins of the Second World War , “ It is my earnest hope that pondering upon the past may give guidance in the days to come.
” Churchill sought guidance , counsel and more from his diligent and passionate study of history !
He wanted others to remember the history of these world wars and to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so that we won ’ t make the same mistakes again !
On the first page of The Book of Chronicles , my father writes , “ This world is lost in the present .
God is always challenging His people to keep the overview—to see the grand sweep both historically and prophetically.
” God describes this “ grand sweep ” in Isaiah 46:9-10 : “ Remember the former things of old : for I am God , and there is none else ; I am God , and there is none like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beginning , and from ancient times the things that are not yet done , saying , My counsel shall stand , and I will do all my pleasure.
” How deeply are you grounded in this grand sweep of history and prophecy ?
Winston Churchill didn ’ t grasp Bible prophecy , but he certainly understood the grand sweep of history !
History was his most trusted counselor .
In the introduction to Churchill ’ s biography of his ancestor Marlborough , Henry Steele Commager wrote that Churchill viewed history as a great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Churchill what he himself wrote of Rosebery , that ‘ the past stood ever at his elbow and was the counselor upon whom he most relied .
He seemed to be attended by learning and history , and to carry into current events an air of ancient majesty.
’ ” History served as Churchill ’ s guide !
“ He read history as a stupendous moral scripture , and for him the writing was , if not divinely inspired , at least authoritative .
More , it was straightforward and simple .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of right or wrong , freedom and tyranny , the future and the past .
By great good fortune Churchill ’ s own people— ‘ this island race , ’ as he called them—were on the side of right , progress and enlightenment ; by great good fortune , too , it was given to him to buckle these virtues onto him as armor in the struggle for a righteous cause ” ( ibid ) .
Every day , this greatest statesmen of our modern era strapped on historical armor and went out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many lessons that our history is ready and waiting to teach us .
It ’ s both memory and prophecy .
It ’ s our identity , our national character , and also the lens through which we view the future .
History , Commager wrote , follows great cycles .
“ The same themes recurred , again and again , the same drama was played out , from age to age.
” History repeats itself .

The Former Prophets , written by my father , Gerald Flurry , shows you that history is prophecy , especially Bible history—and especially the former prophets .
This is history that has been miraculously recorded and preserved for thousands of years by God Himself so that it—and He—can be your counselor .

The New York Times published a series of essays called the 1619 Project in August 2019. These essays claimed that the true foundation of the United States did not lie in the Declaration of Independence. Instead, the nation’s true origins come from 1619—the date the first slave arrived in America. All of America’s history was reinterpreted in light of slavery. It claimed that every facet of capitalist, democratic American society was built on slavery.
Historians weighed in on the factual veracity of the New York Times’ 1619 Project in a letter published in the December 29 issue of New York Times Magazine. The project now stands exposed as a factually incorrect attempt at rewriting American history, and it all revolves around the Times’ divisive new agenda: race.
Responding to the accusations, New York Times editor in chief Jake Silverstein said, “Historical understanding is not fixed; it is constantly being adjusted by new scholarship and new voices.” But the Times scholarship wasn’t merely new “understanding”—it was plain wrong.
The authors of the letter to the Times are all recognized, credible historians of high standing. They include James McPherson, Gordon Wood, James Oakes and Lincoln Richard Carwardine. All of them specialize in the history of the Revolutionary and Civil War periods. They demanded “prominent corrections of all the errors and distortions presented in the 1619 Project.”
The letter made clear that this was not a matter of varying interpretations. “These errors, which concern major events, cannot be described as interpretation or ‘framing,’” they wrote. “They are matters of verifiable fact, which are the foundation of both honest scholarship and honest journalism.”
The errors, combined with a response of denial rather than willingness to admit mistakes, “suggest a displacement of historical understanding by ideology. Dismissal of objections on racial grounds—that they are the objections of only ‘white historians’—has affirmed that displacement” (ibid).
The New York Times has displayed both a willingness to rewrite history and an underlying motivation of bias that will prove to be extremely divisive.
Erasing History
The points of history misrepresented in the 1619 Project are not petty. They are major violations of historical integrity. Consider a few examples.
“On the American Revolution, pivotal to any account of our history, the project asserts that the founders declared the colonies’ independence of Britain ‘in order to ensure slavery would continue,’” stated the letter. This is clearly a false assertion. No historical records support it.
Another false assertion was that Abraham Lincoln was a major supporter of slavery. This idea “ignores his conviction that the Declaration of Independence proclaimed universal equality, for blacks as well as whites, a view he upheld repeatedly against powerful white supremacists who opposed him,” stated the letter. It also brushes aside Lincoln’s agreement with Frederick Douglass that the Constitution was, in the words of Douglass, “a glorious liberty document.”
Interviews with historians, ironically published by the World Socialist Web Site, have shed light on the skewed facts of the 1619 Project.
Oxford historian Richard Carwardine called the lead essay of the project a “tendentious and partial reading of American history.” He described the Times’ usage of two brief quotes from Abraham Lincoln to paint him as a pro-slavery bigot as “thoroughly un-contexted, historically deaf, and blind to a broader reality.”
Historian Gordon Wood also weighed in. He addressed the central false premise of the piece, stating, “I don’t know of any colonist who said that they wanted independence in order to preserve their slaves. No colonist expressed alarm that the mother country was out to abolish slavery in 1776.”
One of the most concerning aspects of the 1619 Project is that it is intended to be used in the American educational system. Its historical fallacies and misleading ideas will permeate the minds of impressionable students.
Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote “The Law of History” in 2002. In it, he showed how the American educational system has devalued the study of history. He drew attention to Winston Churchill’s warning that flouting the lessons of history, or neglecting to understand them, can doom a nation to “decay and dissolution.”
Examples of this can be seen in Howard Zinn’s book A People’s History of the United States. This anti-American misreading of history teaches that the most important founding principle of the United States is racism. Its views have been taught in American schools since the 1980s.
Eighteen years after Mr. Flurry warned about the danger of forgetting history, the warning is truer than ever.
Playing the Race Card
By portraying the history of the United States as fundamentally racist, the New York Times is stirring up hatred and anger. As noted in the letter, the main goal of the 1619 Project is not to promote historical accuracy and true justice, but to stir racial tensions to serve political ends.
Portraying America’s founding as racist inflames tensions that have already brought terrible suffering and division to many American cities in the form of race riots, such as in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 and Baltimore, Maryland, in 2015.
Using misleading and even totally fictitious ideas to say that the U.S. is founded on centuries of injustice against the black race only serves to deepen grudges and stir negative emotions. It promotes hatred instead of healing. It betrays the efforts of Abraham Lincoln and founders like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson to end slavery. It misrepresents the mostly positive influence that the U.S. has had on the world scene. Though no country is perfect, history shows that the U.S. has brought law and order to society, advanced technology to industry, and increased geopolitical stability throughout the world due to its military functioning as a deterrent rather than an aggressor.
Division
The 1619 Project is promoting divisive ideas. Trumpet executive editor Stephen Flurry explained the danger it poses to America’s fragile peace in his article “The New York Times’ Dangerous New Agenda.” He wrote:
These journalists and politicians are hastening the fulfillment of the terrifying prophecy of Isaiah 1: “Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers [Gentiles] devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers” (verse 7). This is about race wars destroying our cities. And God is allowing this destruction because of America’s sins—because the nation is “laden with iniquity” (verse 4). The Times is fomenting racial hatred that will end in death and suffering and the burning of America’s cities. Abraham Lincoln was right when he quoted Jesus Christ: A house divided against itself cannot stand (Matthew 12:25). The nation’s only hope is to look to the same God Lincoln did and seek the Eternal while He may be found, and call upon Him while He is near (Isaiah 55:6).
There has been one prominent exception to the story of racial division in modern America: Charleston, South Carolina. After a white man committed a deadly shooting at an all-black church, the victims took an extraordinary position: They forgave the perpetrator.
In his September 2015 Trumpet article, “How to Solve America’s Race Problems,” Gerald Flurry pointed to this event as “one of the most amazing stories in American history.” He emphasized that Christ’s example of forgiveness is “the only spirit that’s ever going to solve our race relations” and stated that “the relatives of the victims of that church shooting showed the whole world the solution to our race-relations crisis ….”
The Bible foretells that division and hatred will rip apart American society before Jesus Christ’s return. But you can escape. As this time of suffering approaches, you can discover the way that brings true peace for every race. For more on this subject, read “How to Solve America’s Race Problems,” by Gerald Flurry.

An Israeli missile is launched from the Iron Dome defense missile system in Ashdod on Nov. 12 , 2019 , to intercept rockets launched from the nearby Gaza Strip .
Israel adds another layer to its aerial defense shield .
Israel ’ s Defense Ministry announced on January 8 that it had made a technological breakthrough in the development of lasers that can intercept rockets and anti-tank guided missiles .
According to the Jerusalem Post , Brig .

Rotem said , “ We are entering a new age of energy warfare in the air , on land and at sea .
The R & D [ research and development ] investments made by the DD [ Directorate of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years have placed the State of Israel among the leading countries in the field of high-energy laser systems.
” Dubi Oster , head of the DDR & D Optronics Department , called the new system a “ dramatic solution to rocket fire.

Computer terrorism is on the rise, especially in Iran—a nation devoted to the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel. After the assassination of Quds Force Cmdr. Qassem Suleimani, usa Today called a possible Iranian cyberattack a “real threat.”

thetrumpet--2020-01-15--Democrats Blame Systemic Racism for All-White 2020 Frontrunners

( From left ) Democratic presidential hopefuls Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren , former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders gather ahead of the sixth Democratic primary debate of the 2020 presidential campaign season on Dec. 19 , 2019 .
The Democrats are divided—this does not bode well for America .
Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker dropped out of the nomination race on January 13 .
He became the latest high-profile exit from the congested Democrat field , following Beto O ’ Rourke , Sen. Kamala Harris and Julian Castro .
It is the reaction to his and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that has exposed a dangerous aspect of the left ’ s mentality .
The diversity of candidates in the race for the Democratic Party nomination had been the subject of much celebration , showing the success of the social justice movement across the spectrum of feminism , the lesbian-gay-bissexual-transgender-queer agenda and classism .
Central to this diversification has been the advent and growth of “ intersectionality , ” a term coined by black feminist Kimberlé Crenshaw to “ categorize and formalize people according to their race , gender , age , wealth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ orientation.
” The thesis asserts that these criteria can overlap to create unique and more severe forms of discrimination .
Intersectionality can thus be viewed as different levels in a building : A white man would be on the ground floor , a white woman on the second , a black woman on the third , and an lgbtq black woman would be on the top floor as the most discriminated against .
Essentially , it argues , the more “ oppressed characteristics ” you possess at once , the more discrimination you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are than those with fewer such characteristics .
According to Time , the principle at the core of intersectionality is exemplified by the idea that “ all women do not share the same levels of discrimination just because they are all women.
” This alleged discrimination has been contended by the concurrent rise of the feminist movement , the lgbtq agenda , and increasing emphasis on racial diversity in an effort to bring everyone to the same level .
The crowded Democratic primary nomination field was a clear indication of just how successful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the original 29 candidates , six were women , six were minorities , and one was homosexual .
Among the remaining 13 are four women , two racial minorities and one homosexual , making this Democratic primary field the most diverse in history .
But now it seems that although the acknowledgment of intersectionality is credited with allowing such diversification in the primary field , the lack of racial diversity among the frontrunners is leaving more and more Democrats disgruntled .
Along with candidate Andrew Yang and Sen. Cory Booker , Castro and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The fact that Yang is the only candidate left is causing members across the party to question what has led to this juncture .
Although the answers vary in specifics , many start from one launching pad : systemic racism .
Intersectionality essentially argues that the more checkboxes one ticks , the more discriminated against one is .
It does not , however , address whether one discrimination is worse than another .
The Democratic Party ’ s reaction to the shrinking democratic primary field , however , seems to answer that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Axelrod called it “ awkward ” that the frontrunners of the “ most diverse ” party are all white .
Howard Dean , former chair of the Democratic National Convention , asserted that certain party systems perpetuate racism and are an “ embarrassment ” to the party .
Rep. Filemon Vela believes that the party ’ s structures “ disadvantage minority candidates without question.
” Former Democratic National Convention ( dnc ) official Leah Daughtry said institutional racism is “ everywhere in this country , present in all of our institutions.
” The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clearly valued more than Mayor Pete Buttigieg ’ s homosexuality intersectionality or Tulsi Gabbard ’ s and Marianne Williamson ’ s female intersectionality .
The intersectionality of these candidates is not enough to compensate for the fact that they are white .
The “ checkboxes ” of being a woman or being lgbtq are being put up against that of race , and it appears they are coming in second place .
Rep. Barbara Lee said , “ Systemic racism permeates everything in this country.
” She further questioned whether white Democrats are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system is biased and prevents others from coming through.
” Cory Booker was using this very belief to generate political and actual capital , referencing Julian Castro ’ s exit as a campaign point for himself , telling donors that “ it would be a shame if there aren ’ t any candidates of color ” on the dnc debate stage for want of financial support .
The argument of systemic racism is strange considering the fact that the last United States president was black .
He was elected by a majority white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the electoral college and the popular votes by a significant margin .
In addition , a Gallup poll shows that an average 95 percent of Americans today are willing to vote in a black , Hispanic or female candidate—more than at any time in U.S. history .
In fact , most black and Hispanic voters are supporting candidate Joe Biden or Senator Sanders—both white men .
But Democrats have an answer for this as well .
According to Addisu Demissie , Booker ’ s campaign manager , Biden and Sanders have the votes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says systemic racism makes it a gamble to try to repeat an Obama-style minority victory .
“ You have to answer two questions when you ’ re running for president , ” she wrote .
“ One is should you be president , and the other is could you be president .
And if you are a white man you do not have to answer that second question.
” Walter Williams , professor at George Mason University , called this the new racism : Leading politicians and political figures are promoting the idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country , even their own party .
They are only further cultivating the seeds of animosity that already exist in this country .

Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker dropped out of the nomination race on January 13. He became the latest high-profile exit from the congested Democrat field, following Beto O’Rourke, Sen. Kamala Harris and Julian Castro. It is the reaction to his and Harris’s exits, though, that has exposed a dangerous aspect of the left’s mentality.
The diversity of candidates in the race for the Democratic Party nomination had been the subject of much celebration, showing the success of the social justice movement across the spectrum of feminism, the lesbian-gay-bissexual-transgender-queer agenda and classism.
Central to this diversification has been the advent and growth of “intersectionality,” a term coined by black feminist Kimberlé Crenshaw to “categorize and formalize people according to their race, gender, age, wealth, class, religion, disability and sexual orientation.” The thesis asserts that these criteria can overlap to create unique and more severe forms of discrimination. Intersectionality can thus be viewed as different levels in a building: A white man would be on the ground floor, a white woman on the second, a black woman on the third, and an lgbtq black woman would be on the top floor as the most discriminated against.
Essentially, it argues, the more “oppressed characteristics” you possess at once, the more discrimination you face; the more systematically oppressed you are than those with fewer such characteristics.
According to Time, the principle at the core of intersectionality is exemplified by the idea that “all women do not share the same levels of discrimination just because they are all women.”
This alleged discrimination has been contended by the concurrent rise of the feminist movement, the lgbtq agenda, and increasing emphasis on racial diversity in an effort to bring everyone to the same level. The crowded Democratic primary nomination field was a clear indication of just how successful these various movements have been.
From the original 29 candidates, six were women, six were minorities, and one was homosexual. Among the remaining 13 are four women, two racial minorities and one homosexual, making this Democratic primary field the most diverse in history.
But now it seems that although the acknowledgment of intersectionality is credited with allowing such diversification in the primary field, the lack of racial diversity among the frontrunners is leaving more and more Democrats disgruntled.
Along with candidate Andrew Yang and Sen. Cory Booker, Castro and Harris were the eminent racial minority candidates. The fact that Yang is the only candidate left is causing members across the party to question what has led to this juncture. Although the answers vary in specifics, many start from one launching pad: systemic racism.
There’s a lot of reasons I didn’t choose to support Cory Booker, but the fact that Pete Buttigieg is still in the race, and Cory is out is just a symbol of so much wrong with the media and the Democratic political establishment. https://t.co/2ENctY9832 — ashley fairbanks (@ziibiing) January 13, 2020
Intersectionality essentially argues that the more checkboxes one ticks, the more discriminated against one is. It does not, however, address whether one discrimination is worse than another. The Democratic Party’s reaction to the shrinking democratic primary field, however, seems to answer that question.
Former Barack Obama adviser David Axelrod called it “awkward” that the frontrunners of the “most diverse” party are all white. Howard Dean, former chair of the Democratic National Convention, asserted that certain party systems perpetuate racism and are an “embarrassment” to the party. Rep. Filemon Vela believes that the party’s structures “disadvantage minority candidates without question.” Former Democratic National Convention (dnc) official Leah Daughtry said institutional racism is “everywhere in this country, present in all of our institutions.”
The minority intersectionality of Castro and Harris is clearly valued more than Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s homosexuality intersectionality or Tulsi Gabbard’s and Marianne Williamson’s female intersectionality. The intersectionality of these candidates is not enough to compensate for the fact that they are white.
Watching white people completely invalidate everything about America by telling Julian Castro and Kamala Harris supporters that their candidates dropping out had “nothing to do with race” is enraging. — Frederick Joseph (@FredTJoseph) January 2, 2020
The “checkboxes” of being a woman or being lgbtq are being put up against that of race, and it appears they are coming in second place. Rep. Barbara Lee said, “Systemic racism permeates everything in this country.” She further questioned whether white Democrats are doing enough to address “how the system is biased and prevents others from coming through.”
Cory Booker was using this very belief to generate political and actual capital, referencing Julian Castro’s exit as a campaign point for himself, telling donors that “it would be a shame if there aren’t any candidates of color” on the dnc debate stage for want of financial support.

The argument of systemic racism is strange considering the fact that the last United States president was black. He was elected by a majority white nation for two terms, winning both the electoral college and the popular votes by a significant margin. In addition, a Gallup poll shows that an average 95 percent of Americans today are willing to vote in a black, Hispanic or female candidate—more than at any time in U.S. history.
In fact, most black and Hispanic voters are supporting candidate Joe Biden or Senator Sanders—both white men. But Democrats have an answer for this as well.
According to Addisu Demissie, Booker’s campaign manager, Biden and Sanders have the votes because they are “electable.” She says systemic racism makes it a gamble to try to repeat an Obama-style minority victory. “You have to answer two questions when you’re running for president,” she wrote. “One is should you be president, and the other is could you be president. And if you are a white man you do not have to answer that second question.”
Walter Williams, professor at George Mason University, called this the new racism:
This is the new racism, much of it learned and taught at our nation’s colleges. George Orwell said, “Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.” The stupid ideas about inclusion and diversity originate with academics on college campuses. If their ideas didn’t infect the rest of society, they might be a source of entertainment. But these cancerous ideas have infected society. Statements such as “I’m over white men running the country,” or “If we have two old white guys at the top of this ticket, we will lose” are examples of that cancer.
Leading politicians and political figures are promoting the idea that racism is at the heart of the country, even their own party. They are only further cultivating the seeds of animosity that already exist in this country.
Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry writes in Ezekiel: The End-Time Prophet, “There is deep racial division and hatred in America.” This division, Mr. Flurry continues, is brought about by “[p]ast wrongs and present inequalities,” which “create fertile ground for hurt, frustration and anger. Many prominent leaders, both black and white, are deliberately fueling those grievances for their own political gain. They are using race as a deadly weapon! The problems that will result are far more dangerous than they realize” (emphasis added).
Sensitivity surrounding the topic of race is higher than it has ever been. Politicians are using it to gain political capital. At what point will their speech go beyond assertions of systemic racism to instances of inflammatory language?
The U.S. is in a precarious position. Many Americans are aware of the division gripping the nation, and most believe it is headed toward another civil war. Bible prophecy says that the racial divide, which was central to the first Civil War, will be at the core of the division that will launch America into another.
God inspired the Prophet Isaiah to record what would happen to America in this end time: “Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers” (Isaiah 1:7).
Mr. Flurry comments on this verse in America Under Attack (request your free copy here):
This is talking about massive race wars swallowing up our cities! Cities in Israel are going to burn. Ezekiel prophesied about one third of the people of America, Britain and Israel dying …. Can you even conceive of such violence? God warns that it is coming.
The false statements propagated by the Democratic Party are adding to the undercurrent of division that will spark the violence and implosion of the United States.
It will, however, be coming upon us for a purpose, a “precisely measured” purpose of preparing the people to know God. Once the people remember God, turn to Him, and look to Him for the solutions to the tensions and division, the true answers and true peace will finally come.

thetrumpet--2020-01-15--Germany, a ‘Glass Battlefield’ and the Future of Blitzkrieg Warfare

Prince Harry ’ s dramatic announcement has brought culture wars into the heart of the royal family .
Prince Harry and his wife , Meghan , announced last week that they would be stepping down as senior members of the royal family .
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex ’ s announcement has sparked a public crisis within the royal family .
And the fallout could be massive .
Last week , Prince Harry laid out what he wanted to do : give up the money he receives from taxpayers , step back from his role as a “ senior @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work for whatever businesses or charities he wants .
The trouble is , the money he ’ s giving up is estimated to be only around 5 percent of his income .
He wants to keep the income he gets from his family ’ s large estates in the United Kingdom .
He wants to keep the free home he lives in on the grounds of Windsor Castle , which taxpayers just spent £2.5 million ( us $ 3.2 million ) renovating .
He wants the taxpayer to continue to fund his security—even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expensive by spending most of his time abroad .
And he wants to make money—but the only reason people would be willing to pay him large sums is because of his status as a member of Britain ’ s royal family .
In other words , he wants the perks of being royalty but not the responsibility .
He may want this , but it is unclear whether the other members of the royal family will agree .
He made his announcement before ironing out the details with the Queen and Prince Charles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a direct request from the Queen not to go solo on this .
Royal insiders report that the Queen is not amused .
“ The Queen will be absolutely devastated by this , ” said long-time royal reporter Phil Dampier .
Her husband , the Duke of Edinburgh , is said to have been left “ deeply hurt ” by the “ lack of respect ” shown by Prince Harry and his wife .
So we seem set for something like unto a very public and angry divorce battle .
The Telegraph reported @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Prince Harry does not get what he wants , “ He and his wife could go public with damaging accusations.
” “ I have some idea of what might be aired in a full , no-holds-barred , sit-down interview , and I don ’ t think it would be pretty , ” wrote Tom Bradby in the Sunday Times .
Even without the interview , it is already not pretty .
Prince Harry and his wife are very close to important figures on the radical left in America .
The Daily Mail reported @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their break with the royal family from former United States President Barack Obama and his wife .
The Mail wrote that the Sussexes want to “ mimic the way they had managed to build a successful , but dignified , life for themselves after the White House.
” “ In fact , it is fair to say that their star has soared since leaving the White House , particularly Michelle ’ s , and this is something Meghan admires very , very much , ” the Mail quotes an aide saying .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Prince Harry .
On Thursday , the New York Times published an outrageous opinion piece titled “ Black Britons Know Why Meghan Markle Wants Out.
” By dramatically stepping down , the two were sticking “ two fingers up at the racism of the British establishment , ” the article states .
In claiming that Meghan has been mistreated by the royal family because of racism , it certainly seems the Times is calling the Queen racist .
This was an op-ed piece , but the New York Times editorial board made clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ titled “ Good for Meghan and Harry , ” the editorial board said the British press had subjected Meghan to “ virulent racism.
” But there ’ s little evidence of any racism .
Scour the headlines from her wedding to Prince Harry , and you ’ ll find little but excitement for the new royal bride .
But Meghan has played the victim—and not just the victim of the press .
Several months ago , a reporter asked Meghan in tv interview how she was doing .
She said that it has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told the reporter , “ Thanks for asking , as not many people have.
” The public accusation that the royal family doesn ’ t really care about her shocked many .
Friends and aides of the Sussexes have accused the royal family of having it in for them from the start .
But the evidence is hard to see .
“ People had bent over backwards for them , ” said one palace aide .
“ They were given the wedding they wanted , the house they wanted , the office they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and had the backing of the family .
What more did they want ?
” The Sussexes ’ declaration also undermines the very basis of the modern monarchy .
The royal family has a privileged position with a lot of money and support from taxpayers .
At this point , that is uncontroversial .
But a big reason why it is uncontroversial is that the Queen uses that privilege and support in service and duty .
“ I declare before you all that my whole life , whether it be long or short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong , ” she said on her 21st birthday .
Though her family has had some major problems , the Queen herself has generally worked to live up to this pledge .
The Queen hasn ’ t used her wealth and power to get wealthier or to travel the world to rub shoulders with celebrities .
But if Prince Harry uses his royal position for himself and not to serve others , more will question whether Britain should even have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trumpet Daily Radio Show , host Stephen Flurry contrasted the Queen ’ s example of service with the more selfish worldview of her grandson : Talk of duty and service were largely missing from the Sussexes ’ statement .
“ The job of every royal family member is to support the Queen , to play second , third or fourth fiddle , ” wrote Fraser Nelson in the Telegraph .
It ’ s not a role Prince Harry is happy to play anymore .
The timing of this announcement is also particularly unsightly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ husband has stepped back from public duties because of ill health and had to go into hospital last month .
“ To make the decision now , at a time when the family and the monarch needed the younger members to put aside personal animus , is in many ways unforgivable , ” wrote Benedict Spence in the Telegraph .
Some of Prince Harry ’ s former colleagues in the Army are angry .
James Glancy , a former captain in the elite Special Boat Service , said , “ If Harry goes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I wouldn ’ t raise a toast to him as he wouldn ’ t have my respect.
” He said that others in the Army were “ very upset , if not disgusted by the disrespect to the Queen by not discussing this.
” The monarchy was once a force for unity in the country , an institution that most , regardless of their politics , could get behind .
The monarchy , in a very real and literal sense , brought the country together .
It wasn ’ t a battle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ king of Scotland inheriting the throne of England that eventually led to the two unifying .
But now the throne has become a force for division .
The same culture wars that have torn apart our universities , our politics and our media have arrived in the heart of the monarchy .
It is perhaps this that the Queen fears most about an independent Harry .
Right now , you have a Brexit-voting , Conservative-supporting country .
What if Prince Harry campaigns even more stridently for the other side , taking the stage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ woke , ” left-wing view .
A country that has just shaken off a “ deep state ” attempt to block Brexit could be faced by a member of the royal family pushing that same agenda .
How much division would that create ?
The cover article for our September 2017 Trumpet magazine was “ The Fall of the British Royal Family.
” “ What is wrong with Britain and the royal family ?
” asked Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry .
“ This issue is far more important than people generally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Flurry lamented the decline of the royal family .
Many of the royals have had troubled family lives—something we ’ ve been reminded of with all the media scrutiny of Prince Andrew and his relations with Jeffery Epstein .
The family and the country have drifted away from biblical morality .
Many of the young royals , including Prince Harry , have gotten behind causes that are anti-Bible .
The royal family , he explained , is in “ rapid decline.
” “ God is already changing the way He deals with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2017 has been so tragic so far , ” he wrote .
At the start of 2020 , it is becoming clearer than ever why .
God has a plan for a throne that unifies people , Mr .
Flurry explained in his Key of David episode “ The New Throne of David.
” “ It is going to unify the entire world , ” he said .
He explained that this throne is “ a monumental hope for this world … .
But this truth can galvanize your life and fill you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ else can !
And I ’ m not just saying that .
This is not a fantasy .
You can do that , and it will work in your life.
” It is a throne completely devoted to service , and one that does its duty perfectly .
Britain ’ s royal family , far from bringing hope to the nation , is bringing more troubles and division .
That throne has been hit with a series of crises that are bringing it rapidly into disrepute—exactly the way Mr .
Flurry forecast nearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family should be hit by so many serious , once-in-a-generation-or-more-type crises just months after Mr .
Flurry published an article about their “ rapid decline ” should cause us to look more deeply into what is happening here .
And it is worth looking .
The latest news is not pretty .
But behind it , God has a plan full of hope .
This subject contains the solutions , not just for Britain ’ s problems , but for the whole world ’ s .
It explains why the royal family is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reveals how God has very practical plans , right now , for a throne that brings hope to the whole world .

With the use of modern weaponry, today’s battlefields are drastically changing. This affects the coordination of land, sea and air forces, according to Yoav Wemuth, vice president and head of Israel’s Rafael C3I directorate. The Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and France’s Atos Information Technology are developing new technologies to master the challenges. And Germany is interested in the technology.
At the request of the German Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support, Rafael and Atos have teamed up to create a so-called glass battlefield, c4isrnet reported on December 13. The real-time 3-D picture of the battlefield allows unmanned aerial systems and combat vehicles to operate more efficiently and in greater unity.
“Germany has shown interest in using drone swarms controlled by AI [artificial intelligence] to support combat vehicles and future battle tanks,” c4isrnet noted. The German military now cooperates with the Israeli defense company to incorporate artificial intelligence, computer vision and advanced Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) technologies in the battlefield.
Germany is thinking of future warfare that involves more than tanks and airplanes. In previous wars, communication between troop members could take place via radio communication and the spoken word. But the use of drones, the greater variety of combat systems, and the increased speed at which warfare takes place require different kinds of communication that combine voice, video and data.
A Rafael spokesman said future battlefields will have “interconnected platforms, sensor information moving in a ‘tactical Internet of things,’ advanced and immune communications as a basis to allow seamless connectivity between uas [unmanned aircraft systems], vehicles and soldiers on the ground.”
In addition, the Israeli company is providing the use of its Fire Weaver technology, which provides the “key ingredients to rapidly close the sensor-to-shooter loop,” according to the Rafael spokesman. Rafael will also supply its bnet technology, the main communication system of the Israeli Air Force that helps connect multiple sensors and shooters. Combining the different technologies will allow troops to seamlessly detect and rapidly destroy enemy lines.
Rafael’s cooperation with Germany presupposes a high level of trust. Though Germany is known historically as the greatest threat to the Jewish people, the country has portrayed itself as Israel’s friend in recent decades. The two countries also have a common enemy: Iran. Iran has terrorized the Middle East for decades, threatening both German and Israeli interest. In the fight against Iran, Israel needs strategic allies.
Bible prophecy shows that a brief alliance will form between Germany and Israel. During this alliance, a German-led Europe, identified in the Bible as “the king of the north,” is prophesied to attack Iran and its radical allies, identified as “the king of the south”: “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over” (Daniel 11:40).
In his end-time vision recorded in Revelation 9, the Apostle John further described Germany’s military as flying swarms. As we wrote in the January 2011 Trumpet magazine, John used “the symbolic term of locusts to describe the terrifying war machines that would be invented by scientists and used by the military in this final world conflict! Notice that these symbolic locusts, or grasshoppers, are driven by men and are able to fly (verses 7, 9). They will make a tremendous noise and are protected by armored plating.”
The visions of Daniel 11 and Revelation 9 can be described in modern terms as “using drone swarms controlled by AI to support combat vehicles and future battle tanks.”
Daniel 11 shows that after Germany destroys Iran, it will move its troops into Jerusalem, posing as a peacekeeping troop but then taking over the city violently. Our booklet The King of the South, by Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry, explains this double-cross in detail. Mr. Flurry sheds light on Germany’s interest in the region, why God allows mankind’s seemingly endless warmongering, and how He will bring it all to an end and usher in a wonderful new world.
