The news broke last night that Osama Bin Laden had finally been killed by American forces. Have you seen the
Large groups of Americans amassed together cheering wildly. Numerous newspaper publications declared in their headlines, "We got the B------," and, "Rot in H---."
Really? Is that who we are?
I saw the crowds and thought, Isn't that what the Islamic radicals do? My husband commented that the only thing missing were machine guns firing in the air. Those people looked like cattle to me. Tomorrow, there will be another group of students assembled together to shout down capitalism, or spending cuts. We have already seen it.
It's not that I'm a fan of Bin Laden, it's just that I believe we have to put this whole thing in perspective. He is just one strand of a much, much larger web of destroyers. Good, they got him, but there are plenty more vipers in the snake pit.
After all, remember the objectives of the attacks of September 11...
Hit the Twin Towers... Destroy our financial system. There are plenty of people in power here in America and abroad actively working on that one: The Fed monetizing our debt; Congress's unlimited spending; anti-capitalist union and community organizing against the banks to bring about their downfall and that of the free market... just to name a few.
Hit the Pentagon... Destroy our military might. One only needs to see the way in which our military is being stretched, isolated, and surrounded in the Middle East to wonder whether this will inevitably be accomplished by our own hand anyway. At the very least, our armed forces are being used for supranational objectives that have nothing to do with defending America.
Hit the Capitol... Destroy our government system. Hasn't that been happening for about a hundred years anyway, under the progressives? This president, as with a long line of progressives before him, is a statist, believing in central planning, expansive government, and limited freedom. Exactly the opposite of what this country was founded to be. This president is a post-American globalist. Be sure, our system of government is being dismantled from within.
So why is there so much jubilation?
I am quietly satisfied that the earth is rid of Osama Bin Laden. He was a deranged mass-murderer with a following. I am grateful to our armed forces for working to protect us. But I feel no desire to jump up and down in the public square.
What has really changed since 9/11?
Terrorism still runs rampant worldwide. We still have enemies we deny. The site of the Twin Towers remains a pit. We can't even admit anymore that we are at war with radical Islamists. They plan to destroy us, yet we are supporting them politically and militarily in Libya and elsewhere: read Muslim Brotherhood. See my sidebar under Who Would Destroy America. In fact, read what else is in my sidebar, especially, The Muslim Brotherhood's Plan for America, The Coming Insurrection, and STORM, among others.
Our southern border is a mess, with terrorism by drug cartels, some Iranian infiltrated, running rampant there without any action to stop it. A terrorist handbook promoting suicide bombers was found in the Arizona desert a few weeks ago, and the terrorist weapon of choice, an IED (improvised explosive device), was found on a Texas bridge last Sunday.
Then there's ecomomic terrorism. A plot is underway to destroy the banks and the market. Additionally, this administration is deliberately destroying our currency, by printing and spending. Grand theft of your savings. Moreover, they have hamstrung our businesses and our natural resources, and unnecessarily driven up the price of gas. They are burning corn for fuel, thus driving up the price of food. Inflation is here, and is going to get worse. And on and on.
In in the end, who be holding the mortgages to all of the property when homeowners and businesses cannot make their payments? The government.
So, Bin Laden is dead. Do you think our troubles are over? We are certainly less free now then ever before. And more in danger.
Contrasts. We celebrate as if we are home-free. In fact, we are far from it.
Ironically, yesterday, was Divine Mercy Sunday. And the crowd cheered.
I paused to think about that, when I saw the headline, "Justice has been done."
I was reminded that with His mercy, God will also bring His perfect justice, at the appointed times.
These problems we face are overwhelming to me. Neither our SEALS teams (no matter how brave and successful), nor any new crop of freshmen congressmen can fix what's wrong. The solution is not political.
This is a battle of spirits. A battle between good and evil. And the tentacles are far reaching. Way beyond some secret compound in Pakistan.
I always pray, God, You make these kings. Please unmake them.
Lord. Show us your mercy and your justice.
Jesus, I trust in You. Only in You.
