What, you own a phone without a payment system?

That question will likely be heard soon wherever early-tech adopters gather, now that Google and Apple have taken their smartphone software fight into the payments market with new ferocity.

FEROCITY...wow...

Phone payment system....just a prelude to the brand that will mark your allegiance to the world...and your enmity with God. James 4:4

If Google, Apple, Alipay, PayPal or someone else can develop a reliable, profitable electronic system, the stakes could be huge.

That's an understatement...lol...

Current Events-Babylonian Security

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/02/23/homeland-security-funding-shutdown-what-it-means/23880081/

The Senate is locked in a stalemate over the Department of Homeland Security funding bill because of immigration amendments that the House attached to the bill last month. If the bill doesn't pass the Senate, the Department of Homeland Security will run out of money on Friday.

Just like previous scenarios regarding budgets, including the debt ceiling, fed. govt. shutdown, etc....this bill will pass by Friday. However, that may not be the case in the future.

The Mark of the beast...speculation

"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them." Revelation 9:6

Does this verse suggest the possibility that the mark of the beast will somehow, perhaps through avatarism or artificial intelligence, keep humans alive (zombieism) even though they're dead?

Current Events-BO hates America.

Giuliani, the former Republican mayor of New York, had said Wednesday: "I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America -- 

Rudy is right. No need to sugarcoat it. BO DOES NOT LOVE AMERICA. He doesn't respect the anthem and he thinks America/Europeans were wrong for colonizing the new world. He wants to socialise the world at America's expense and he will succeed.

Internet Freedom

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/why-cant-public-see-obamas-proposed-internet-regulations_858283.html

Republican senators Mike Lee, Ben Sasse, and Rand Paul have all been high profile opponents of the Obama administrations current plan to regulate the internet -- in particular, Lee has called the regulation a government "takeover" of the internet and says it amounts to a "a massive tax increase on the middle class, being passed in the dead of night without the American public really being made aware of what is going on.”

And when Lee says that the American public isn't aware of what's going on, that is in no way hyperbole. FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai has emerged as a hero for those opposed to the regulation because Pai has been taking to the airwaves decrying the fact that the public is not allowed to see 332 pages of proposed internet regulation before they are potentially passed. Pai's crusade to make the proposed regulations public is the theme of the the latest ad from Protect Internet Freedom: 

Bo just wants to regulate the net so he can use the killswitch more liberally,,,

The department of the internet...lol...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/02/11/north-carolina-muslim-students-gunman-chapel-hill/23222317/

My condolences would go out to the family and friends of the victims in this shooting.

A 46-year-old North Carolina has been charged with first-degree murder in the killing of three Muslim college students in Chapel Hill, according to local media.

Why is the victims' religion mentioned if....?

It was not immediately clear whether the victims' religion was a factor in the shootings. Police have not indicated a motive for the killings.

The media plays an important role in the pre-conditioning stage of the new order's agenda.

A simple, yet profound truth...

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love...Therefore, since God is perfect and God is Love then perfection equals love.

So what does it mean when we fail to reach perfection or if and when we dont act in love?

Philippians 1:6

6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

God is not done with us. There is still work to do. The fact that you are not what you once were should serve as evidence of His work in your life. Use that to encourage yourself when others question you.

That is a truth worth celebrating. 

Current Events-BO vs. extremism

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/02/10/obama-aumf-authorization/23191867/

While President Obama has maintained he already has the existing legal authority under authorizations granted to former president George W. Bush to conduct military action after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, White House spokesman Josh Earnest reiterated the president's position that a show of support from Congress would send the world a unified message.

Ye, he is still bound by the whore...he just doesnt want to appear so...

It "would be a powerful symbol for the Congress to send to the American people, to our allies, and even to our enemies that the United States of America is united behind the strategy that the president has laid out to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL," he said

By fighting a radical branch of Islam, he sets up the stage to do the same against Christians.

Current Events-Revelation 17

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/02/katy-perry-halftime-show-review-super-bowl

Comically, yet eerily similar to an excerpt of Revelation 17 alluding to the babylonian whore..

Revelation 17 New International Version (NIV)

Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast

17 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”

3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery:

babylon the great

the mother of prostitutes

and of the abominations of the earth.

Not too concerned about the storm...but this quote caught my eye even though most of us already see babylon as "the media and business hub of the world."

18 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2 With a mighty voice he shouted:

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a]
    She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,
    a haunt for every unclean bird,
    a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
3 For all the nations have drunk
    the maddening wine of her adulteries.

The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
    and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on Wednesday invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress next month on the threats posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions and the rise of the Islamic State.

Current Events-DAVOS

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2015/01/19/davos-world-economic-forum-preview/21743969/

Davos arrives as world on verge of nervous breakdown

Kind of an exaggeration but for a reason prolly...

LONDON — Do-gooding captains of industry and government will travel up a Swiss mountain this week for the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos with one hefty task on their minds: how to make the world a better place.

"I think it's clear the conversations in Davos will be more serious than in recent years because the threats appear more imminent," Goldin said.

Islamic extremists show no sign of slackening their barbarous pace, as evidenced in the recent attacks in Paris and Nigeria. Fears have resurfaced over Greece's upcoming elections and what they might mean for the future of the eurozone. Plummeting commodities prices have thrown emerging markets into disarray.

Economic growth in China has stalled. Cybersecurity looks increasingly perilous. A global Ebola crisis claimed more than 8,400 lives. Russia's proxies in Ukraine may sow fresh volatility. And with 2014 the hottest year on record, there is of course climate change.

"Decision-makers meeting in Davos must focus on ways to reduce climate risk while building more efficient, cleaner and lower-carbon economies," former Mexican president Felipe Calderón told USA TODAY. "They also need to boost growth at a time of growing economic uncertainty."

But Davos is more than a well-heeled, high-altitude setting to recount all that's wrong with the world. Klaus Schwab, the German-born founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, said this year's theme — the not-atypically vague "New Global Context" — is partly about creating the conditions to restore confidence and trust in the world's future.

There is good news for the American delegation, who will arrive in Switzerland on the coattails of an economic growth rate that at 5% is motoring ahead of its European peers. Growth is flatlining, or worse, in France, Germany, Italy and elsewhere in Europe. With deflation in the region also a clear and present danger, those countries for the first time are staring down the barrel of quantitative easing or similar monetary stimulus measures from the European Central Bank this week.

Current Events-International Economy

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2015/01/19/china-shares-plunge/21983675/

Chinese shares plunged more than 8% Monday after the country's securities regulator imposed margin trading curbs on several major brokerages, a sign that authorities are trying to rein in the market's big gains.

Markets generally settled down after volatility provoked by the Swiss central bank's shock decision Thursday to untether the Swiss franc from the euro. Japan's central bank is not expected to make any major moves in a policy meeting that wraps up Wednesday.

Current Events-Russian Economy

Not sure what Marshawn is thankful for...but I can tell he's trying to make a statement and I know that's hard to do when the pressure is on.

After all, the least we could be is indeed....THANKFUL!

Thank you my God for EVERYTHING, even moments of despair, trials and tribulations, because it is then that my faith is tested and refined.

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Because immature and incomplete means u still missing something. How could that be when you have everything?

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honorwhen Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.

http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/sun-watching-observatory-sees-mid-level-solar-flare-on-dec-16-2014/#.VJM62nuPvYj

The sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 11:50 p.m. EST on Dec. 16, 2014. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured an image of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however -- when intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.

To see how this event may affect Earth, please visit NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center at http://spaceweather.gov, the U.S. government's official source for space weather forecasts, alerts, watches and warnings.

This flare is classified as an M8.7-class flare. M-class flares are a tenth the size of the most intense flares, the X-class flares. The number provides more information about its strength. An M2 is twice as intense as an M1, an M3 is three times as intense, etc.

NASA knows a lot about these events and the effect they can have on earth.

WASHINGTON — Pope Francis played a key role in finalizing a deal to open relations between the United States and Cuba for the first time in 53 years, according to a U.S. official.



¹¹ Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. ¹² It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. ¹³ And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. ¹⁴ Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. ¹⁵ The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed

The pope certainly appears just as likable as BO...

Current Events-Babylonian hostility towards Russia

http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/three_congressmen_just_reignited_the_cold_war_while_no_one_was_looking_2014

Late Thursday night, the House of Representatives unanimously passed a far-reaching Russia sanctions bill, a hydra-headed incubator of poisonous conflict. The second provocative anti-Russian legislation in a week, it further polarizes our relations with Russia, helping to cement a Russia-China alliance against Western hegemony, and undermines long-term America’s financial and physical security by handing the national treasury over to war profiteers.

Here’s how the House’s touted “unanimity” was achieved: Under a parliamentary motion termed “unanimous consent,” legislative rules can be suspended and any bill can be called up. If any member of Congress objects, the motion is blocked and the bill dies.

At 10:23:54 p.m. on Thursday, a member rose to ask “unanimous consent” for four committees to be relieved of a Russia sanctions bill. At this point the motion, and the legislation, could have been blocked by a single member who would say “I object.”  No one objected, because no one was watching for last-minute bills to be slipped through.

Most of the House and the media had emptied out of the chambers after passage of the $1.1 trillion government spending package.  

The Russia Sanctions bill that passed “unanimously,” with no scheduled debate, at 10:23:55 p.m. on Dec. 11, 2014, includes:
1. Sanctions of Russia’s energy industry, including Rosoboronexport and Gazprom.

2. Sanctions of Russia’s defense industry, with respect to arms sales to Syria.

3. Broad sanctions on Russians’ banking and investments.

4. Provisions for privatization of Ukrainian infrastructure, electricity, oil, gas and renewables, with the help of the World Bank and USAID.

5. Fifty million dollars to assist in a corporate takeover of Ukraine’s oil and gas sectors.

6. Three hundred and fifty million dollars for military assistance to Ukraine, including anti-tank, anti-armor, optical, and guidance and control equipment, as well as drones.

7. Thirty million dollars for an intensive radio, television and Internet propaganda campaign throughout the countries of the former Soviet Union.

8. Twenty million dollars for “democratic organizing” in Ukraine.

9. Sixty million dollars, spent through groups like the National Endowment for Democracy, “to improve democratic governance, and transparency, accountability [and] rule of law” in Russia. What brilliant hyperbole to pass such a provision the same week the Senate’s CIA torture report was released.

10. An unverified declaration that Russia has violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, is a nuclear “threat to the United States” and should be held “accountable.”

11. A path for the U.S. withdrawal from the INF Treaty, which went into force in 1988. The implications of this are immense. An entire series of arms agreements are at risk of unraveling. It may not be long before NATO pushes its newest client state, Ukraine, to abrogate the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Ukraine signed when it gave up its nuclear weapons, and establish a renewed nuclear missile capability, 300 miles from Moscow.

12. A demand that Russia verifiably dismantle “any ground launched cruise missiles or ballistic missiles with a range of between 500 and 5,500 kilometers ...”—i.e., 300 and 3,300 miles.

This and a collapsing Russian economy/currency might lead Big Vlad to do something crazy...
