Senior General: US in Greatest Danger Since 1930s
Nov. 22, 2013 - Senior military analyst Lt. Gen. Thomas G. McInerney told reporters that the the US in the most dangerous situation it has been in
since the 1930s just prior to World War II. Here is a summary of his warnings:
- The US is not prepared for an Iranian "Electromagnetic Pulse" attack.
- Iran's nuclear program may not be curtailed by the current Geneva conference.
- The US has alienated its long-time ally Egypt, so they have signed a $4 billion arms deal with Russia designed to let Egypt attain parity with the Israelis.
- By alienating Egypt the peace treaty with Israel may fail, and our country could lose access to the Suez canal and the privilege of mmilitary flights over Egypt.
- Our actions toward Egypt favors the Muslim Brotherhood.
- Our actions toward Syria has legitimized President Assad and acknowledged Russian hedgemony in the Middle East.

Glenn Beck: U.S. identified in Bible
Aug. 30, 2013 -
Radio and television host Glenn Beck is now going public with his belief the United States is among the famous “Lost 10 Tribes of Israel,”
and America today is suffering calamaties just as ancient Israel did due to its disobedience to the laws of God.
This theory, known as “Anglo-Israelism” or “British-Israelism,” theorizes that after the northern ten tribes of Israel were taken captive to Assyria
they gradually migrated north - mostly into Europe, and that Britain and America descended from the tribes of Ephriam and Mannaseh.

Greg Laurie on Why Bible Prophecy Makes No Mention of America
July 15, 2013 - Evangelist Greg Laurie explains that The United States is not mentioned as a key player during the end times.
This might be true for a number of reasons. One possibility is that we might be involved in a nuclear war before the Tribulation. Another is
moral collapse of the nation causing us no no longer be a superpower. Proverbs 14:34, says,
"Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people."
Laurie reminds us to pray for revival. However, even if we do experience another spiritual awakening, the Rapture of the Church will remove
many millions of Christians, which itself would affect the country greatly.

Jun. 4, 2013 - At a celebration of Henry Kissinger's 90th birthday, Senator John McCain thanked him sincerely for his role in
ending the captivity of American POW's in Viet Nam's "Hanoi Hilton." The Vietnamese had offered to release him early because his father was
about to be promoted to admiral, but he refused to leave the others. When Kissinger came to Hanoi to conclude the agreement that would end
America’s war in Vietnam, he was told that he could take McCain back to the U.S.
- He refused the offer. 'Commander McCain will return in the same order as the others,' he told them."
McCain told the gathering, "Henry saved my reputation, my honor, my life, really. And I’ve owed him a debt ever since."
