<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin-right:10px;text-align:center;line-height:150%"><a href="http://www.zazzle.com/i_stand_with_israel_poster-228596480094901694?print_width=11&#038;print_height=11&#038;rf=238710598307006644"><img src="http://rlv.zcache.com/i_stand_with_israel_poster-p228596480094901694836v_255.jpg" alt="I Stand With Israel print" style="border:0;" /></a></div>
<p>I spent most of the day away from the news today.  I had school to teach, then I made dinner, went to church, and was asked to visit a friend.  When I did sit down to catch up on the day&#8217;s events, I found out that Barack Obama announced that he believes that Israel should go back to their pre-1967 borders.  These borders would exclude places like the Garden of Gethsemene, Jesus&#8217;s tomb, and other sites that are important to Christianity &#8211; not to mention that it would leave Israel virtually indefensible.</p>
<p>I need to be clear here: I know that some nutjob says that the rapture is going to occur in two days, but he&#8217;s wrong: the Bible says that no man will know the day nor the hour of the rapture, and if it was on that day, that would make God a liar (I have a longer article on <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/7946663/may_21_2011_a_day_the_rapture_will.html?cat=34">May 21</a> at Associated Content); however, the events described in the book of Revelation are near.  I have a video that I need to review in the next day or so &#8211; it&#8217;s amazing, I&#8217;ve been a student of the end times for 15 years or so, but I still need to review the specifics every now and then.  The events described in the Bible are being set up today.</p>
<p>The other thing that I think that it is important to point out is that God will not abandon Israel.  Obama may think that he&#8217;s stamping out colonialism, but he&#8217;s really spitting in the face of God.  God will not let the Jews be wiped out.  In the book of Esther, the king signed a decree allowing people to wipe out the Jews on a certain day.  Mordecai, Esther&#8217;s cousin, asked Esther to speak to the king, her husband, on behalf of her people.  Esther was afraid to approach the king, because doing so uninvited could result in her death.  Mordecai&#8217;s response was that she needed to speak up; if she didn&#8217;t tell anybody that she was a Jew, she would not escape unharmed.  He added &#8220;For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father&#8217;s house will perish.&#8221; (Esther 4:14)</p>
<p>Those words ring true today.  We cannot remain silent.  I&#8217;m certainly no Esther.  God has not called me to be a princess; I&#8217;m not famous or powerful.  The only thing that I do have is this small voice.  I will what little I can.  I will warn the few people that will hear.  God will deliver the Jewish people.  The Arabs may look like they have the upper hand, but anybody that opposed God is a fool.  Just like God delivered the Jews in Esther&#8217;s day, he will deliver the Jews in our time.  We can either be for them, and God might spare us, or we can be against them &#8212; if you are against them, and you do not feel the repercussions in this life, be sure that you will receive them in the eternity to come.  Even if you are saved and on your way to Heaven, you are not off the hook.  Even Christians will gain or lose rewards based on what they do in this life.</p>
<p>I stand with Israel.  I trust that God will protect them, even if he has to rain down a miracle to do so.  I expect to have more on this in the future, after I look more into the subject.  It may be in the form of an article; but I&#8217;ll post a link here.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Obama's poor performance has led to racism.]]></description>
-->
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I said way back in August 2008 that if Obama became president and did a crappy job, then it would hurt race relations (<a href="http://brookelorren.com/blog/2008/08/racists-root-for-obama/">prediction</a>).  Well, it looks like my prediction came true.</p>
<p>This post really disturbed me: <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/disturbing-restaurant-assault-vid-woman-allegedly-beaten-into-a-seizure-as-employees-laugh/">disturbing video</a>.  This post was awful in so many ways.  It is awful what these people did.  It is awful that only one old lady tried to help.  The comments that people made about this incident are also disturbing.</p>
<p>So many people responded with racist comments.  Many people responded with comments saying that all black people are like animals.  Their posts really disturbed me.  I know a lot of nice black people that don&#8217;t act like that.  I know tons of Christian, conservative, Tea Party supporting black people who aren&#8217;t into the &#8220;black&#8221; culture.  Yet when I responded in defense of my husband, kids, in-laws, Alan West, Herman Cain, and the like, I was called a disgusting individual.</p>
<p>It seems as if people like the Black Panthers and white supremacists want a race war.  I&#8217;m sorry, but I am not going to go for that.  Both the black sides and the white sides would want to kill me.</p>
<p>If black and white people did want to fight, obviously there is nothing I could do about it. I would be the enemy of both sides.</p>
<p>I was right about race relations deteriorating if Obama stunk.  I hope I am not also right about my prediction that if I am not raptured, I will be killed, and I won&#8217;t die of natural causes.  I had thought that I would be murdered for my Christian beliefs, but perhaps racists would want to kill me too.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Is Obama the Antichrist?  There's no way to tell, but the way that things are going, it looks like we'll find out soon.]]></description>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lGlfiBnJ-Pg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>There has been a lot of talk lately about the Mahdi returning.  He is also known as the 12th Imam.  The Mahdi was an Imam that hid in a well around 874 AD.  The hadith says that he will return at some point in the future, in a time where chaos reigned on the earth.  The leader of Iran says that he has communicated with him, and evidently, Farrakhan thinks that his return is soon too.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rH-pwMXIuzk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>In 2008 (also at the Savior&#8217;s day conference, I notice), Farrakhan proclaimed Obama to be the Messiah, or so it seemed.  At the time, I mentioned that it is quite dangerous for Obama to let others <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1435364/the_bible_obama_and_messiah_worship.html?cat=34">call him the Messiah</a>, as God has a way of dealing with people who allow others to think of them as God.</p>
<p>Last year, I discovered something very interesting: <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/3021348/barack_obamas_name_and_the_bible.html?cat=34">Barack Obama&#8217;s name is in the Bible</a>.  The Hebrew Bible uses the term Barack Bamah (okay, there&#8217;s no O there, but they also use the name Elias to talk about Elijah too, and Bamah is closer to Obama than Elias is to Elijah) in Luke 10:18.  The term literally means &#8220;lightning high place&#8221;, which I interpret as &#8220;lightning from a high place.&#8221;  In the verse, Jesus says &#8220;I beheld Satan as lightning fall from Heaven&#8221;.  The term Barack Bamah is in the Hebrew version of the Bible; back in Bible days, Jesus actually used his name.</p>
<p>Is Barack Obama the Antichrist?  Who knows?  <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5423856/could_the_antichrist_be_judas_iscariot.html?cat=34">Judas Iscariot</a> would be a good candidate for the Antichrist as well.  We won&#8217;t know when we get there, but the way that the Moslems are talking about the arrival of the 12th Imam, and because the Mahdi has many characteristics that match those of the Antichrist of the Bible, it looks like his appearance may not be that far off.</p>

<description><![CDATA[George Soros thinks that Barack Obama has lost control of the economy.  Could this mean that the president is in danger?]]></description>
-->
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw this video today:<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="500" height="311" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mBz96pxo9Sg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
So George Soros thinks that Barack Obama has lost control of the economy?  This could be very bad for him.  If Soros is the puppetmaster, and he believes that his chosen is no longer useful to him, this could be very bad.</p>
<p>Considering the political climate of the time, and that the name &#8220;Barack Bamah&#8221; is listed in the Bible in <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/3021348/barack_obamas_name_and_the_bible.html?cat=34">Luke 10:18</a>, then it wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if Soros&#8217;s men try to take Obama out, Obama gets a wound to the head and nearly dies, or does die, but then he comes back and makes a full recovery.  Imagine how many people would see him as the Messiah then!</p>
<p>Now, I hope that nothing happens to him, but if Soros is against you, that is very bad indeed.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The useful idiots under the new Communist America are unlikely to find that their efforts today will be paid off under the new order.]]></description>
-->
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="float:left;margin-right:10px"><a href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1238452"><img src="http://brookelorren.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/questions-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="questions by immrchris" width="150" height="150" class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1361" /></a></p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t watched the video that I posted the other day containing the interview with the <a href="http://brookelorren.com/blog/2010/07/former-kgb-agent-speaks/">former KGB agent</a>, I highly recommend it.  It is 16 minutes long, but it will really show you where we are today and how fragile what we have currently is.</p>
<p>The question of the useful idiots is discussed in the interview, but I wanted to bring it up here.</p>
<p>First, what is a useful idiot?  The term &#8220;useful idiot&#8221; was used in the old days of Soviet Russia.  I hadn&#8217;t even heard of the term until the past year.  It refers to people that support the cause of the Communist takeover, but aren&#8217;t in the power establishment.</p>
<p>People might choose to become useful idiots because they see the radicals winning, and figure that they better be on the winning side when the battle ends.  They make this calculated move to further their own careers.  For example, journalists, politicians, teachers, actors and directors tend to support the overhaul of America en masse.  There are very few that stand with the Constitution and with the Founding Fathers.</p>
<p>So what happens to these useful idiots when Obama and his Weather Underground pals get their way and take over the country?  Will they get the positions of power that they are hoping for?</p>
<p>Probably not, in many cases.  It won&#8217;t be up to the masses to determine who gets the prime positions in this new society.  It will be up to the people in power, like Bill Ayers, the Clintons, Obama, Al Gore, Van Jones, and the like.  If you are not in with this group now, there is no assuming that you will have any part in leading the new Communist America.  Dissent and complaining will not get you anywhere you want to be.  It will get you into the modern-day gulag.</p>
<p>Years ago, my now-husband introduced me to the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786926813?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=thwoarus-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0786926813">Dragonlance</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thwoarus-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0786926813" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> series of books.  In the books, there is one recurring theme: &#8220;evil turns in upon itself&#8221;.  Over the past several years, I have learned how true that theme is.</p>
<p>Think about drug dealers, the mafia, or gangsters.  Do they peacefully interact?  Or do they fight among each other, competing to see who will be top dog?  Has one mafia member ever hurt or killed another in order to advance among the ranks?  In my very backyard of Arizona, people end up kidnapped or killed because something goes wrong in their human trafficking operations.  Heads literally roll through nightclubs right across the border because somebody is not happy with what is going on.</p>
<p>I know that I probably will end up in a death camp or something if/when this government takeover finally happens.  I am way too stubborn.  I can&#8217;t pledge allegiance to a godless government, nor can I renounce all that I believe in with all my heart.  We already have people being denied degrees unless they renounce certain Christian principles, like the belief that homosexuality is wrong.  I am thinking of one case in particular, but I think I also remember hearing of cases where scientists that didn&#8217;t believe in evolution were denied degrees (even if they were able to clearly articulate the theory&#8230; they not only had to know it, they had to believe it).  I&#8217;m just going off the top of my head there.</p>
<p>The people that will survive will be the people that keep their head down and are willing to accept the new order.  That&#8217;s not me.  It also will probably not be most of the people that are supporting a Communist America, if they are expecting a reward for their efforts today.</p>

<p>A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a story about how <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5595460/oakland_reduces_police_services_what.html?cat=75">Oakland was cutting police services</a>.  My take on the story at the time was that it would be helpful to learn some skills, because the government won&#8217;t necessarily be there for you (self-defense, anyone?).  I wrote this page on <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/weathermen">The Weathermen</a> last month, but it&#8217;s been getting more hits lately, as Glenn Beck has been going over their manifesto &#8220;<a href="http://www.archive.org/details/YouDontNeedAWeathermanToKnowWhichWayTheWindBlows_925">You Don&#8217;t Need A Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows</a>&#8220;, so I&#8217;ve been updating the page.  Perhaps there&#8217;s more to Oakland&#8217;s police cuts than just a call to self-sufficiency.</p>
<p>The Weathermen do not believe in private property rights like wealthy oppressors like myself do (now if you&#8217;ve read my posts about my vast financial empire you&#8217;ll know that I&#8217;m being sarcastic about the wealth part).  What are some ways that they have been trying to overcome that problem?  Well, perhaps that is one of the strategies behind all the eminent domain rulings in the past decade or so (while many focus on Obama, Bush and Clinton had many of the same strategies).  If you don&#8217;t like private property rights, why not take private property away from someone whose family has been living some place for 50 years and give it to a shopping mall?</p>
<p>Glenn Beck proposed that one of the strategies of the left was to redefine crime&#8230; for example, ACORN has repossessed some homes that have been foreclosed.  What do the banks (who own the properties) need with them anyway?  Empty properties attract rodents and small animals, you know (seen news reports on animal invasions in foreclosed homes recently?).</p>
<p>What came to my mind regarding this portion of the Weather Underground report was that news article on Oakland.  Oakland police won&#8217;t respond to property crimes.  They won&#8217;t respond to embezzlement or even grand theft.  You&#8217;re on your own, buddy.  If the police won&#8217;t enforce property rights, then we&#8217;re basically in the situation that the Weather Underground wanted.  Where everything belongs to the public.  Far out, man.</p>
<p>So in a way, the Weather Underground are winning on this front.  At least in Oakland.  Soon also at a city near you.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I give details about my Democratic mini-celebrity that visited my web site over the weekend, after James Rucker suggests that the left watch Beck supporters.]]></description>
-->
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am ready to give out more details on the visit that I received yesterday from the Democratic philanthropist from DC.  I had to go over some of my notes, because I wasn&#8217;t seeing any of this on Google from anybody else.  I thought that I might have misheard what Obama&#8217;s friends were saying.</p>
<p>Anyway, James Rucker was the person that was calling for going after Beck supporters.  He said during the Netroots conference over the weekend: &#8220;Let&#8217;s go look at Beck supporters, let&#8217;s see what they say online.&#8221;</p>
<p>My visitor from yesterday was someone at the Joshua P. and Elizabeth D. Darden home.  They run a foundation called the Joshua P. and Elizabeth D. Darden Foundation.  Perhaps it was a maid&#8230; I don&#8217;t know.  Maybe they have kids&#8230; they are older though, so their children, if they have any, are likely to be adults.  The Dardens are evidently Democrats.  According to an article on Hampton Roads.com, <a href="http://hamptonroads.com/2009/08/outside-norfolk-spotlight-he-makes-big-things-happen">Joshua Darden</a> is quite a player behind the scenes in Norfolk politics.  He helped several Democrats get into office.  He is also the nephew of a former governor of Virginia.  Hampton Roads says that he was involved in Norfolk&#8217;s &#8220;shadow government,&#8221; but Darden finds the term a little amusing.</p>
<p>Perhaps they took a wrong turn at Google.  At any rate, it was interesting to have a minor political celebrity visiting my site, whatever the reason for the visit.  Although it is mighty suspicious that this visit came within days of Rucker&#8217;s proposal to watch Beck supporters.  Hmmm&#8230; perhaps I should be watching the left supporters in return.  Then maybe I&#8217;ll have a heads up before they come to cart me away to the concentration camps <img src='http://brookelorren.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend, Obama's friends said that they were going to study Glenn Beck supporters.  In the past 24 hours, my blog received a mysterious visitor from McLean, Virginia, close to Washington DC.  Are Obama's friends targeting little ol' me?]]></description>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><a href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1165323"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1350" title="target" src="http://brookelorren.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/target.jpg" alt="Target by Topsoft" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Obama and some of his media pals got together this weekend, and they were strategizing.  Glenn Beck&#8217;s name popped up a lot.  &#8220;If it weren&#8217;t for Beck and those rascally kids, nobody would know about the Tides Foundation!&#8221;&#8230; okay, I&#8217;m paraphrasing.  They also said that they were going to study Beck&#8217;s fans, to see what makes them tick.  Perhaps to intimidate them?  I&#8217;m not sure, they didn&#8217;t go that far.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always seen myself as small potatoes in the Internet world.  Heck, the main page of my blog only got three hits yesterday.  However, some pages that I&#8217;ve written do rank pretty high in Google for certain keywords.  I rank #3 for the keywords &#8220;Glenn Beck Book Recommendations&#8221; and #6 for &#8220;Glenn Beck Recommended books&#8221;.  I don&#8217;t rank in the top 10 pages for the keywords &#8220;Glenn Beck fans&#8221; or &#8220;Glenn Beck&#8221;.  I have one article on page 2 of Associated Content for the search &#8220;Glenn Beck&#8221;.  I was very surprised to hear Glenn Beck in his keynote speech at the final American Revival when he mentioned a book that someone gave him and then said &#8220;someone&#8217;s going to say that Glenn Beck recommended this book.&#8221;  I thought to myself, &#8220;is he on to me?&#8221;  Anyway, if you&#8217;re a Glenn Beck intern and you come across my <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/glenn-beck-book-club">Glenn Beck Recommended books</a> page and I endorse a product that Beck doesn&#8217;t, just leave a comment on one of my pages&#8230; I don&#8217;t want to be dishonest.</p>
<p>So when I heard Obama&#8217;s supporters say that they were going to watch the Glenn Beck fans, I jokingly thought to myself&#8230; &#8220;I&#8217;m going to blog about Obama&#8217;s henchmen maybe targeting me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just for laughs, I decided to take a look at where the three hits that I received in the last day came from.  I don&#8217;t look every day, but I occasionally look to see where my readers come from.  Today, there was someone from Lebanon, and someone from Dubai, and someone from around Washington DC.  Hmmm&#8230; that was interesting, considering what I was going to post about today, and what was said over the weekend.  Now, I normally don&#8217;t have any interest about where my visitors live beyond the country or state, but this one was interesting&#8230; was this person actually from Washington DC?  I had to find out.</p>
<p>They were.  I decided to do some digging, and I discovered that this visitor is connected to a certain charitable organization.  I won&#8217;t say anything more at this point, until I find out what causes this charitable organization is linked to.  For all I know, perhaps multimillionaire philanthropists find me interesting.  Doubt it though.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I do know some wealthy people, but I don&#8217;t think that any of them are interested in this blog.</p>
<p>Time to do some praying.  I&#8217;ve always thought of myself as a low-profile person that sits very low on the agenda of the powers that be, and I probably still am; however, if Obama&#8217;s friends decide to go against low impact Beck supporters like myself, I&#8217;m going to need strength.  I do not want to give up my country (as envisioned by the founders) or my God.  These are two things that are more important than my life.  I told my husband several months ago that if I didn&#8217;t go in the Rapture, I would probably be taken out by friends of Satan.  I&#8217;d rather go out in the Rapture.</p>

<blockquote><p>we are more than conquerors through him that loved us</p>
<p>~Romans 8:37</p></blockquote>
<p>The United States is going through dark times right now.  The financial reform bill has passed, promising to take more of the freedoms that we once enjoyed away.  Communists are doing everything that they can to take over our country, and it looks like they&#8217;re winning.  No matter how hard they try, there are a few things that they can never take away.  In the things that really matter, we have complete freedom.</p>
<p>We could sit in the corner and suck our thumbs and say the best days are behind us, but they don&#8217;t have to be.  For me, the best days are ahead of me.</p>
<p>I have free will, no matter what happens on this earth.  I have the freedom of thought.  It was granted to me by God, and no power on this earth can take it away.  Sure, they can try.  In a recent case, <a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/jul/10072207.html">Jennifer Keeton</a> was denied a degree at Augusta State University in Georgia, because she refused to compromise on her beliefs about homosexuality.  She is currently taking them to court, but even if she loses, the world system can never force her to go against her beliefs.</p>
<p>Perhaps this is what gets the liberal left so angry.  They might be able to win the battle and pass legislation mandating certain actions, but they can never change our thoughts.  Their control-freak side can&#8217;t handle someone that dares to think differently.</p>
<p>In the end, I win, because I am a child of the King of Kings.  I guess that makes me a princess.  My daddy&#8217;s kingdom is far greater than the temporary earthly kingdom that Barack Obama has control over, and he can never take it away.  Any temporary troubles pale in comparison to the future that awaits me.  It doesn&#8217;t matter what happens here.  I have complete freedom of thought.  My soul is free.</p>
