the lefty correlations are 100% missing, but then, who needs reasoning when freedom of conscience has become the freedom from owning one. blame simply goes where-ever political narcissism is most apropos. But - Im relatively sure this kind of logic is wasted as it makes way for prophetic endings.
Yes, to these demonic forces, any amount of depop is good business. They simply don’t care about anyone’s life, liberty, nor happiness. Least of all children. We are all in for a world of hurt in the coming days and months. Get close with God & only trust in Him. God help us. Prayers for humanity. 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
To quote these muslims, "women are for babies, children and animals are for pleasure". What do you expect from a religion based on the demonic visions of a child raping antisemitic and antichristian tribal warlord trust ruled solely with violence and terrorism?
There are demons on both sides. All religions. US is number one for child trafficking/sexual abuse. It’s not just them over there. Our western elite class and bloodline families seem to have the same taste for depravity and evil. They like eugenics and depop too. Notice how they don’t go provoking North Korea much. Wonder if that’s because they have nukes? And lots of missiles too. 🤔
Remphan is a term used by Stephen at the time of his martyrdom in the Book of Acts 7:43 in the New Testament, in reference to a specific object of idolatrous worship: Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. According to some Biblical scholars, the name refers to the Hebrew Kiyyun or Chiun, mentioned in Amos 5:26.
Nothing provides more insight to the fact that during Paul's day political correctness was just as prevalent as it is today. If government is behind it it has to be true. IN other words? PC is the death of truth. (AND the end of conscience.
Was Epstein Island a muslim thing? Epstein, Weinstein, POTUS Trump, Anthony Weiner, Woody Allan, Alan Dershowitz, Ehud Barak, Ehud Olmert, Benjamin Netanyahu etc are all Christians?
He said to quote "these" Muslims, which would be the Shia who is running Iran and believe that the Imams set their law, customs, etc., not the Qu'ran. I"m sure that statement is not in the Qu'ran also, but I'm also just as sure that the statement could easily have come out of a Shia Muslim's mouth, Imam or not.
In Iran, under the Law on the Protection of Children and Juveniles (enacted originally in 2002 and updated in later years), acts of sexual abuse or exploitation of persons under 18 are criminalized and carry imprisonment terms if they do not fall under harsher religious “hudud” punishments.
In contrast, in the US, today, under Article 120b of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (10 U.S.C. § 920b), sex with 12 year olds is lawful for Americans who join the US military and marry or are married to the young boy or girl. If you don’t believe me look it up. There’s even a Wikipedia entry about it. Child marriage is legal in 2/3 of US states. It's pretty clear who the kiddie fuckers are.
God. You judge based on ' woman said', and 'to quote these muslims'. 🤪 That was an illegal war. The US bombed children ! 150 of them. What 'God' do you follow?
No body that wasn't 'satanical' would do that.
The Zionists are in charge of Trump. Don't you know that?
Even highly intelligent people like you Mr. Leake can be led astray by emotion. Trump didn't want a war-like situation. The truth is, the extreme Iranian element that was/is controlling Iran and its people and growing terrorist proxies and fixing on using nukes, etc., will not stop until they are stopped. It is the hard reality. No one, well, at least most of us, including Trump, don't like war at all. Do you honestly think he doesn't want this over ASAP? I'm sending prayers and prayers re: Biblical/Spiritual discernment re: end times. Yes. There are different opinions on iy--eschatology, but Scripture shares a lot and Jesus talked about all these troubles. God knows exactly what is going on. Maybe sit a lone with God and Scripture and quietly pray. I understand your frustration, but this approach you are using here on SS is counterproductive. I hate to break this to you but Scripture teaches that things will become progressively worse. Our hope is fixed in Him. Again, He knows what is going on and His ways and timing are not like ours. Let's bring this to Him and pray for our president, our nation, Israel, and the people of Iran rather than making conflicting noise.
Thank you DJC. You seem to be the only voice of reason here. The last several articles I’ve read from Mr. Leake remind me of the others suffering from lack of faith in God and varying degrees of TDS. It’s very disheartening but it’s nice to come across replies like yours. I wonder if Me. Leake has ever prayed for the president?
Thank you. I just couldn't stand by with these constant negative notices from Mr. Leake. I have enjoyed his insights into other things. Not sure what has made him jump the shark on this issue. I worry that a number of people of certain Christian/Catholic/or the Like backgrounds have so wrapped themselves up in Replacement Theology, which is leading to this growing negativity against Israel and Jews and Zionists. (Zionism is completely in-line with Scripture but people continue to overlook or deny it). It so saddens me. It sort of wraps together with this whole notion of "Let Israel fight its own wars." Israel has been fighting for its survival forever. And these Islamic Extremists have a mandate to kill and destroy in order to move their ideology forward, or so they believe. They vehemently hate not only Jews and Israel and want them all dead, but they also hate US. We are the great Satan to them. There are so many reasons why Trump had to strike now when the iron is hot. I think if Mr. Leake could step back from his emotional and other biases and do some deep dives into both history--original sourced not someone else's repackaging--as well as Scripture--the whole of Scripture, he might see things a bit differently. So prayers for everyone all the way around.
Paula White and many Christian Zionists are already praying over Trump, as are many anti-Christian Zionists (if you think that's harsh, just listen to Ben Shapiro say that Jesus was a troublemaker who got what he deserved). Check out the videos of Paula if you want to see lunacy. The sad fact is that Trump is weak in many ways, and got sleepwalked into the same kind of stupid war he rightly attacked W and JEB! for back in 2016. He looked to be the lesser of evils, and I voted for him three times, but he's clearly compromised and/or paid off. He now calls supporters like MTG traitors, when he's a traitor to most everything he promised as a candidate. DC as a whole is a dumpster fire of rotten apples, with very few exceptions. Disappointing as Trump is, "our last chance," our decline didn't start with him.
Re: "fixed on using nukes." Bibi's been saying that since the 1990s. He's been manipulative, but wrong, the whole time. Guess who does have nukes? Israel. Guess who brags about having a Sampson option to wipe out humanity as a whole? Israel. Many countries have them now, but only one has used them? USA!
It doesn't matter what Ben Shapiro may have said. It doesn't affect Yeshua one iota. I too have friends of various extents of Judaism, s/a various reformed Jews, etc. I disagree with them but love them. And then you have people like Mark Levin, who embraces the support of Christians who support Israel. It's our duty unto God and Christ to support Israel. We have to look at the bigger picture in Scripture and from Father God's/Jesus' POV as much as we are able to do so. Also this is nothing like Iraq. Bibi has a better understanding of the fight than so many people. He's not perfect either. I think people are missing so much, and a lot of the resistance to seeing the truth is based in an essentially demonically inspired hate toward Israel. The Bible speaks that this would grow in the end times. The USA is already in big trouble in so many ways. We've fallen so far from where we're meant to be. The last thing that we want is more enmity with God by not supporting Israel. They are not the instigators. People need to study more of Scripture, be prayerful, and ask God to help them see truth here. Step away from the Jew-hate, which is a foundational part of what is going on right now. Step back, understand Israel's history and that which is in Scripture, and step away from the emotional manipulation that is coming from the very depths of Hell. God will keep His promises to Israel and to The Body of Believers who truly make up The Church/Body of Christ. Furthermore, MTG in many ways is a traitor and she's doing what benefits her, alone, period. Put your faith in Yeshua. God brings up leaders and takes them down.
I flew a helicopter to mass graves sites in south central Iraq in 2003. They were filled with men, women, and children. Mostly shot. Part of Saddam‘s ethnic cleansing of the Shia in the south. I’m sure the UN‘s numbers included those as part of their justification for why the embargo was bad. My point is, you have to be careful about what your cherry pick to support your analysis. The fire bombings of World War II were all bad! Unfortunately, in the case of Japan, the emperor was the ultimate decision-maker and the population would have resisted until they were ordered by that man to surrender. He wouldn’t, not until the threat of continued atomic bombs were coming (there weren’t any). In Germany, Nazi ism became so accepted and prevalent that I’m sure many civilians died unnecessarily because of the anger held against what seemed to be the “at large population.” All war is bad, especially for non-combatants. Any war should be under taken with the intent to be swift, but it never works out that way. There must be a different metric for assessing when it is OK to transition to the next era of political leadership. Military planners (I was one) suck at this and I hope this time will be different. In the case of Iran, they are more western than Europeans, they are more freedom, loving than many Americans. The question that should be asked and answered in the case of Iran is; are there enough non-combatants to seize control from the, now dead regime and its combatant subordinates? One thing for sure that can’t be done, is you tell all those soldiers of the old regime, they no longer have a job and they are criminals, they will just become the next insurgency. On the contrary, you have to tell them that amnesty will be given provided they don’t resist the transition. And then you help the common Iranian person take their country back from the subordinates of the old guard. This looks like special operations teams going after pockets of resistance while conventional military and police forces train a new security apparatus. Airports are now guarded for relief flights, and moving relief supplies further in to the outskirts. It is not time for more cruise missiles or bombs on “military” targets. I pray they transition today. We have to do these things smarter.
All you've proven is that the IDF and U.S. are winning while you've stupidly failed to acknowledge the record RATIOs of CIVILIAN-to-COMBATANTs in each case proving that IDF and the U.S. excellently protect civilians in their wars, whereas Hamas and Iran cowardly and demonically use civilians as human-shields... Pathetic. ttyl
Come on. You must be pretty young. The US & israel have been making up excuses to bomb the middle east for decades and rhr real reasons are just because they don't play their game.
Lyrics from The Fugs, circa 1966 (lefty hippies, but a broken clock . . . ):
Near or middle or very far east
Far or near or very middle east
If you don't like the people
Or the way that they talk
If you don't like their manners
Or they way that they walk
Kill, kill, kill for peace
Kill, kill, kill for peace
I'm amazed that a proposed solution is to trust in God. There are three related Abrahamic Gods supposedly behind the current war on Iran. It all seems to have started with Abram hallucinating that "God" wanted him to slaughter his son. Odd indeed that so many religions began with animal sacrifice, and that so many millions of people have been slaughtered too. Pretty sure the creeps on top use religion, but don't believe any of it.
either young or way in over their heads to understanding how the world works. There is no "party" pick your poison. Both obey the same masters. Technocracy, surveillance and enslavement are coming whether you vote or not. Wag the dog and the sheep will follow
You are misinformed by revisionist history concerning the Japanese at the end of the war. Nearly all established Japanese industrial facilities had been destroyed, so they were still building zeros in individual homes. A wheel in one house a propeller in another etc. These were to be used as Kamakazie Aircraft against the American invasion force. The Japanese had been fighting to the death on every island captured, no surrenders. So it was estimated that there would bea million casulties in an invasion against a defiant Samurai mentality. Either that or use nukes. Easy to second guess 80 years after the fact.
The refinery bombed by the Israelis was operated by and to produce fuel for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. You know, the government's thug enforcers who murder their own citizens. It was a valid target.
When the US starts carpet bombing instead of specific surgical strikes, then I'll be on your page. Doubt that will ever happen. Not part of the game plan.
The fact that the US is a co-perpetrator of Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people - overwhelmingly women and children - tells you all you need to know. Their contempt for innocent human life can only be described as satanic. The US ruling class has disdain for its own citizens so of course they slaughter other countries' people with relish. Trump stated in his own remarks that he couldn't care less about American cannon fodder deaths. Wake up, people!
I served an LDS mission in Japan from 1975 to 1977, and my father told me it was hard for him to let me serve there because of the feelings he still had for the Japanese. Interestingly enough, a member of the leadership of the LDS Church and former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico made a prediction resulting from our dropping the bomb on innocent civilians in Japan -- “Its use to kill will become the aim and the practice of all nations. Sometime our children’s children will have it turned against them, that they, too, may be exterminated, annihilated. When that time comes, they will have no moral weapon against it, for we, their ancestors, will have cursed humanity by its first use; . . . our posterity must pay the penalty, to the last farthing.” J. Reuben Clark. President Trump and others have insisted that they needed to go on the offense and attack Iran because they were trying to get a nuclear weapon to use against us. President Clark was from my grandfather's generation, which makes me the generation he predicted would have the bomb turned against us.
Interesting article and interesting comments about it.
"Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell
tolls;
It tolls for thee"
(John Donne pointing out the truth which people like to ignore).
So any man who sends warplanes to bomb innocent people is diminishing himself. In the current situation re Iran, this is an unnecessary act when "Jaw, jaw, jaw" would have been better (to half quote Churchill).
War is a troubling subject to tackle, my friend. Thanks for the Courageous Discourse, John Leake. Most would not dare to field an opinion these days, and I too am conflicted, torn between understanding of human nature, history, current events and prophesy, against compassion and empathy, and the driven need to spare lives when possible, reduce suffering without fail, and still serve God, while under assault from all sides. War really takes the measure of a man. Rest a bit, my friend, God is still in charge.
The Vonnegut novel Slaughter House 5 described the devastating fire bombing of this non military target. Not something we may want to remember but something we should not forget happens when the war Genie is let out of the bottle…
Mr. Leake is doing us the service of maintaining his critical faculties, a valuable service in times of conflict.

Any war should be under taken with the intent to be swift, but it never works out that way. There must be a different metric for assessing when it is OK to transition to the next era of political leadership. Military planners (I was one) suck at this and I hope this time will be different. In the case of Iran, they are more western than Europeans, they are more freedom, loving than many Americans. The question that should be asked and answered in the case of Iran is; are there enough non-combatants to seize control from the, now dead regime and its combatant subordinates? One thing for sure that can’t be done, is you tell all those soldiers of the old regime, they no longer have a job and they are criminals, they will just become the next insurgency. On the contrary, you have to tell them that amnesty will be given provided they don’t resist the transition. And then you help the common Iranian person take their country back from the subordinates of the old guard. This looks like special operations teams going after pockets of resistance while conventional military and police forces train a new security apparatus. Airports are now guarded for relief flights, and moving relief supplies further in to the outskirts. It is not time for more cruise missiles or bombs on “military” targets. I pray they transition today. We have to do these things smarter.

Good points but we have seen many times that the US and Israel cannot be trusted. How is the cease fire in Gaza going?
It's the Hamas that is BREAKING THE DEAL THEY AGREED TO -- in order to get the ceasefire --THAT's how things are going in GAZA..

Here are some facts for you https://us11.campaign-archive.com/?e=ec5473aadb&u=70b9fc567465118fa0b7b6e67&id=f2c272aa85
All you've proven is that the IDF and U.S. are winning while you've stupidly failed to acknowledge the record RATIOs of CIVILIAN-to-COMBATANTs in each case proving that IDF and the U.S. excellently protect civilians in their wars, whereas Hamas and Iran cowardly and demonically use civilians as human-shields... Pathetic. ttyl
What a total and utter lack of understanding about what is happening. Your Trump arrangement syndrome is getting in the way of logic with your thesis.
Agree, Leake has gone over the top with this commentary.
Come on. You must be pretty young. The US & israel have been making up excuses to bomb the middle east for decades and rhr real reasons are just because they don't play their game.
Lyrics from The Fugs, circa 1966 (lefty hippies, but a broken clock . . . ):
Near or middle or very far east
Far or near or very middle east
If you don't like the people
Or the way that they talk
If you don't like their manners
Or they way that they walk
Kill, kill, kill for peace
Kill, kill, kill for peace
I'm amazed that a proposed solution is to trust in God. There are three related Abrahamic Gods supposedly behind the current war on Iran. It all seems to have started with Abram hallucinating that "God" wanted him to slaughter his son. Odd indeed that so many religions began with animal sacrifice, and that so many millions of people have been slaughtered too. Pretty sure the creeps on top use religion, but don't believe any of it.
Interesting. I'm not familisr with them, but the lyrics certainly resonats.
either young or way in over their heads to understanding how the world works. There is no "party" pick your poison. Both obey the same masters. Technocracy, surveillance and enslavement are coming whether you vote or not. Wag the dog and the sheep will follow

I think Trump’s actions are too unpredictable to suggest his future action will match past person’s actions/words.
Perhaps you could do us the favor of clarifying what you believe Mr. Leake misunderstands.
It wasn’t “civilian infrastructure “. It was fuel stocks that the IRGC.
And the Trump administration did not approve of the action and said so to Israel.
Anytime Iran wants to surrender they are free to do so.
God. Trump must be 'playing 5 D chess'. 🤪

March, paint by missiles
You are misinformed by revisionist history concerning the Japanese at the end of the war. Nearly all established Japanese industrial facilities had been destroyed, so they were still building zeros in individual homes. A wheel in one house a propeller in another etc. These were to be used as Kamakazie Aircraft against the American invasion force. The Japanese had been fighting to the death on every island captured, no surrenders. So it was estimated that there would bea million casulties in an invasion against a defiant Samurai mentality. Either that or use nukes. Easy to second guess 80 years after the fact.
The refinery bombed by the Israelis was operated by and to produce fuel for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. You know, the government's thug enforcers who murder their own citizens. It was a valid target.
When the US starts carpet bombing instead of specific surgical strikes, then I'll be on your page. Doubt that will ever happen. Not part of the game plan.

The fact that the US is a co-perpetrator of Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people - overwhelmingly women and children - tells you all you need to know. Their contempt for innocent human life can only be described as satanic. The US ruling class has disdain for its own citizens so of course they slaughter other countries' people with relish. Trump stated in his own remarks that he couldn't care less about American cannon fodder deaths. Wake up, people!
Says it all.
To say that Trump’s statement "suggests " we will bomb civilian targets is a big leap to the conclusion that we will.
Can you name a country where we did not kill civilians by the 100s and 1000s
Or millions. We're not alone of course, see the book Death by Government. But we're doing our share.
Iran (Persia) is an ancient civilization. It and the people that live there shouldn’t be destroyed. I hope the President stops it now.
The Islamist Regime is not Persian. One can hope the President stops the Islamists from destroying the Persian people and culture.
I served an LDS mission in Japan from 1975 to 1977, and my father told me it was hard for him to let me serve there because of the feelings he still had for the Japanese. Interestingly enough, a member of the leadership of the LDS Church and former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico made a prediction resulting from our dropping the bomb on innocent civilians in Japan -- “Its use to kill will become the aim and the practice of all nations. Sometime our children’s children will have it turned against them, that they, too, may be exterminated, annihilated. When that time comes, they will have no moral weapon against it, for we, their ancestors, will have cursed humanity by its first use; . . . our posterity must pay the penalty, to the last farthing.” J. Reuben Clark. President Trump and others have insisted that they needed to go on the offense and attack Iran because they were trying to get a nuclear weapon to use against us. President Clark was from my grandfather's generation, which makes me the generation he predicted would have the bomb turned against us.
Interesting article and interesting comments about it.
"Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell
tolls;
It tolls for thee"
(John Donne pointing out the truth which people like to ignore).
So any man who sends warplanes to bomb innocent people is diminishing himself. In the current situation re Iran, this is an unnecessary act when "Jaw, jaw, jaw" would have been better (to half quote Churchill).
War is a troubling subject to tackle, my friend. Thanks for the Courageous Discourse, John Leake. Most would not dare to field an opinion these days, and I too am conflicted, torn between understanding of human nature, history, current events and prophesy, against compassion and empathy, and the driven need to spare lives when possible, reduce suffering without fail, and still serve God, while under assault from all sides. War really takes the measure of a man. Rest a bit, my friend, God is still in charge.
Questions of what a grandfather would think aside, joking about slaughtering humans is ghoulish, vile and evil. Period. As is terror bombing.
The Vonnegut novel Slaughter House 5 described the devastating fire bombing of this non military target. Not something we may want to remember but something we should not forget happens when the war Genie is let out of the bottle…
