HOW THE NAZIS REALLY WON WWII (FOR THE USA)... BY WAY OF ARGENTINA

*GULP*

ANOTHER RED PILL HAS BEEN SWALLOWED...

Another awakened mind has been liberated by serendipitous discoveries of long-hidden truths recently revealed to a new generation of inquiring minds with a world of knowledge at their fingertips. This time, it's mine!

Adolph Hitler escaped to Argentina and lived until 1962. Some of the smartest and highest-ranking Nazis were transplanted via "Operation Paperclip" over to the U.S. space and pharmaceutical industries for exponential increases in brain trust and geopolitical advantages.

Witness the gateway article by Jeff Rense on PUBLIC INTELLIGENCE BLOG.

Just to bookmark any future reference to this topic on YouTube, I will embed one of the many videos about Harry Cooper, the world-renowned authority on all things World War II and the Nazis here:

MEN COACHING MEN

I am posting this SoundCloud podcast series. Obviously. Perhaps it is a bookmark for myself. Perhaps it will find other men who are seeking specific Christian edification through conference speakers they were not able to attend in person.

I cannot recommend this series enough.



May the God who answers by fire bless you with His reality in your life!

"Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD, and the God who answers by fire, He is God." And all the people said, "That is a good idea."
1 Kings 18:24 NASB

PAGE LOAD LATENCY ZONE

You have just entered... the Page Load Latency Zone !!!

What, pray tell, is that, you may ask (or may not)? It is the common but annoying tendency for Google Blogger to take way too many seconds to load a new page. Sheesh!

Got time to visit someone else's blog while you wait???...

Well, now that I have that off my chest, on to bigger and better things!

AN INVITATION TO VISIT MY OTHER BLOG FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Worldview Mirror will perhaps be a successor blog to this one. It is a rudimentary (free) website through WordPress. The blog you are now reading began here. Perhaps this will be my last post for a while at Worldview Window.

See you there!

RANDOM POST

Now, before anyone goes "postal" (a dated reference to a mass shooting by a disgruntled employee at a USPS facility), I want to air out or vent a concern I have about my mental health (no, really), after having worked at several call centers over the past few years.

I have heard about studies showing the deleterious effects of long-term exposure to computer screens, or television screens for that matter, upon the eyes and brain. It purportedly "rewires" our brains to think differently in ways that are counterintuitive if not stupid.

Which explains why "unplugging" is such a healthy recreational activity for the well-connected. So, as soon as I finish this blog post, I will obligingly sign off and resume recreational activity number one: YouTube!

Thanks for visiting.

WEBLOG POST GOES MOBILE

Well, I just wanted to start this test post on my Blogger app with a catchy title right off the bat, so that you would continue reading the content long enough for me to think of something more profound to blog about than some misguided "test post" rambling, such as you are reading right now.

You do realize that entire previous paragraph was one long sentence, don't you? Of course, I have to question the technicality of whether a paragraph comprised of one sentence is actually a paragraph. But I digress.

There! Three paragraphs. I have no image here yet. I need to figure out how to do that with the aforementioned Blogger app.

Until then, thanks for visiting!

THE JEWISH PROBLEM?

I framed the title of today's post as a question, to intentionally make you think...

WHAT'S THE "PROBLEM?"

This was the way Adolf Hitler and members of his regime framed their national situation at the time: how to remedy the long-term negative consequences of having Jewish (and other ethnic) citizens and residents of Nazi Germany, many of whom were seen as a growing threat to the economic and national welfare of the country.

Suffice it to say, there must have been some very real and serious circumstances arising, that seemed intolerable to the vast majority of German citizens, to the point of compelling them to elect one Adolf Hitler to the helm of supreme ruler of the Third Reich, under the guise of national reform and economic recovery.

Real, serious, and intolerable circumstances are what propelled Nazi Germany from its imminent economic destruction to a nationalistic hope for a much better future, with Hitler and his reforms guiding the Ship of State's course and direction.

THE FINAL SOLUTION... NOT


How wrong and misguided Hitler's optimism was indeed! "The Final Solution" was anything but. It was a horrible one. It solved nothing.


https://cathnews.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Auschwitz-Jewish-Concentration-Camp-Holocaust-Nazi-Germany-e1362349280996.jpg

In terms of disclosure, let me just say:
  • I grew up hearing and seeing evidence for the "Holocaust" in Nazi Germany. The term was coined much later.
  • I accepted the number of six million Jews murdered as fact, although many today think the real number is far less. 
  • I saw the Biblical benefits for a new state of Israel as being a necessary piece of the global puzzle of geopolitical relationships, and a blessed assurance that Jesus was coming soon!

I also learned that we, along with previous generations dating back to the First Century, are living in the "last days," or the end times. The clock of world history had been synchronized with the birth of the modern state of Israel, and we are now on a prophetic "Doomsday Clock" countdown...

Has the countdown really begun? I do not think so.


ENTER PRETERISM


My theological "end times" persuasion, or eschatology (the study of last things) has shifted recently to a preterist view of Bible prophecy. This means that Holy Spirit-predicted events to come upon the earth have already been fulfilled. In the opinion of a small minority of Christians, the end of the world is no longer in our future, as Gary Demar would say.

Therefore, I am no longer encumbered by the baggage of eschatological futurism, which seems to endow every succeeding generation with the dubious distinction of being the last generation in world history before Christ returns. Besides that, we Christian "inquiring minds" want to know who the Antichrist is!

Rightly so. But more importantly, are we living in the end times?

I say no. I also resist the temptation to join the endless procession of "this generation" enthusiasts who get their predictions handed back to them when, alas, Christ did not show up... AGAIN!!! 

It is much simpler to think the Lord Jesus Christ did come back in 70 A.D., with the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman armies, and thus fulfilling all Bible prophecies concerning the future, at that time.


ONE MORE THING

My theological journey has recently included an unexpected turn, namely, my self-education on the long-term international threat from political Zionism, and its villainous role in international finance, war, and overthrow of sovereign governments for a greater, imperialistic agenda under the guise of Biblical prophetic fulfillment.

Yes, God permitted the modern state of Israel to be created. However, if Christ does return in my future, then please accept my sincerest apologies for misrepresenting His plan!


WORLDVIEW RESET


Which brings me to my premise:
  • I believe the modern state of Israel is simply not the romantic ideal, the "apple" of God's Eye, that we find in the Holy Bible! 
  • This is not to be confused with the Biblical Nation of Israel, whom God powerfully led out of Egyptian slavery, misery, and destruction in the Old Testament. 
  • Some of them God ultimately led to their real, spiritual destiny of eternal life in Christ, the true Israel of God, which is the result of receiving this free gift through His Son Jesus Christ. Anyone who believes the gospel and trusts Christ will be saved.

It is my opinion that modern Israel is a geopolitical invention of man, which was produced through military invasions and state-sponsored terrorism against the rightful residents of Palestine, namely, the Palestinians.

Now don't get me wrong. We must, by the grace of God, reckon with the existence of a man-made Israel, for better or worse, with all of its attendant difficulties (mostly self-induced, due to its barbaric founding and continued brutality against certain natives of Arab descent). Nevertheless, God will use this for His glory!


A LITTLE BACKGROUND IS IN ORDER

Here is a lecture video by one of the foremost proponents of the view that Palestinian terrorism is the direct result of military and political invasion of the Land of Palestine by Zionist Jews (not the garden variety peace-lovers), and by others, backed by financial resources from the Rothschild banking cartel (to the best of my knowledge), capable of supporting such an arduous and horrific process, designed for greater power and profit.



"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.(Genesis 50:20 NASB)

I do not know if this Scripture applies here. But I know it applied to the early days of Old Testament Israel. Peace and blessings to you.

NEW YEAR, NEW PRESIDENT, NEW POST

How NEW can you get?

Well, the present blog (i.e., "WORLDVIEW WINDOW") cannot be called "new" since it is more than 12 years old! But it does have a new feeling of sorts now that I've spent some time going over and tweaking some template stuff, and am liking the result so far.

How about the reader? What say you? What do you like or do not like about this blog? Too many questions? Not enough focus? Too rambling? No theme? Just random?

Anyone? Anyone?

AMAZON WAREHOUSE OR OPTUM CUBICLE? HMMM...

In the interest of somehow preserving my sanity, along with any remnants of rationality, after suffering a discouraging decline in productivity at work, I say... BLOG!

Maybe I should stop working at a computer screen/cubicle and start working in a warehouse... again!

If only I could. I'm fifty-three years old and not in the best shape. But how?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, if not followed. Thanks.

WHY I BLOG

Blogging is the art of textually and graphically waxing eloquent upon a given theme or subject which interests the author, who is hopefully a self-absorbed, narcissistic, trend-watching information/news junkie/warrior (like me, for example). This activity is usually best accomplished by using the (free) resources at your disposal (like Blogger), and thereby publishing the aforementioned diatribe on the Internet for universal access and perusal in what is known as the "blogosphere."

It should also prove helpful that you attempt subtle (or blatantly humorous) puns and/or turns of phrases now and then, which will hopefully bring a smile to your reader's face. See? Well, anyway...

"One more thing," saith Steve Jobs. Blogging is a high-tech attempt to penetrate the quiet desperation of solitude among far-flung netizens around the globe. But I digress.

Well, thanks for visiting my weblog (blogging website), and for indulging in this bandwidth-eating exercise which showcases nothing worthy of column inches elsewhere. I do appreciate your patronage.

THE LAST DAYS FULFILLED

Bless me, Father, for I have...  

not blogged in six months!!!

So goes my (formerly) Roman Catholic confession of blogospheric negligence. I am guilty as charged, and fully prepared to do penance right now. So today, I have decided to post about my recent excursions into preterism, also known as "fulfilled" or "covenant eschatology."

Why would I pursue so lofty a goal as understanding the Second Coming of Christ (with other various and sundry "last things" to be studied) you may ask? I am glad you asked. I really am.

Yesterday, I discovered an excellent series of YouTube videos on the subject of the "last days" published on the Heart of the Matter channel. My favorite preterist/evangelist for Christ, Dr Don Preston, has once again proven his genuine mettle for leading the charge against evangelical far-sightedness (futurism) in eschatology, or the study of last things. A great topic for our times, right? Always.



Suffice it to say, after having watched this debate and lecture series from Dr Preston in its entirety, I feel more confident than ever in the Bible. But more importantly, it has reinforced my persuasion toward the preterist viewpoint -- not as a replacement for the historic Christian faith, but as a supplement to it. Perhaps another Reformation is in order.

All good Christians want reformation, right? Of course we do! The hardest part of admitting to this is coming to grips with our own personal need for it. Ouch! Not always fun, but always beneficial. I hope to spark a micro-Reformation of sorts with this particular blog post, as part of a greater Reformation already happening, Lord willing.

That reformation should include eschatology, in my opinion.

ONE SIMPLE CHANGE

To borrow a phrase from my very favorite brand of supplements, Juice Plus+, try One Simple Change to start changing the present course of your life. That change, for you, may be accepting and believing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Or it may involve making a dietary change to improve your chances of fighting disease and illness.

Progress in a positive direction will always involve a course correction. Just like a trip to the moon (I know that is reaching back in the past) involved many, many course corrections to finally reach the desired objective (moon landing), so does our life sometimes require a change in behavior, activity, thoughts, and words.

With that said, my objective is to find gainful employment. Out of past experience, and wishful thinking, I am blogging to persuade the employment gods (HR Managers) to act favorably toward my feeble efforts at employment.  Since blogging happens when I am not working, I figured posting a prayer for work would effect that change for me!

Here I go!

ESCHATOLOGICAL PRETERISM VS FUTURISM

There is a whole lot of "iron sharpening iron" (Proverbs 27:17) going on in this debate! Wow!

I suggest you make sure you have a good idea of what each camp teaches and where you lean, if not stand, on each issue, before watching this video, because there is plenty of fodder and fuel being flung across the aisle (figuratively speaking, to complete my alliteration).


I believe each of these men has a heart for Christ and for His people. I also personally believe about 90% of each man's doctrine as portrayed in this debate. I have to give credit to both sides for sharpening all who heard and followed the debate point by point.

I lean preterist. I myself, along with every believer of the Bible, have a long way to go before my theology is perfect.(1 Corinthians 13:12) But we all benefit from hearing both sides of every issue.

"Let every man [and woman] be fully persuaded in his [and her] own mind." (Romans 14:5)

Thanks for visiting.

ABOUT FACE

Well, nothing like a change of font face to do a blogger good, eh?

How about that Droid Sans 14-point? Really brings the message of my blog posts out of the realm of two-dimensional flatness, huh! Not really.

Just another cyber-spacial activity to wile the time away and prevent complete boredom meltdown (CBM), as I wait for the inspiration (and email/phone call) to get a new job! Don't worry. I'm looking.

I have been pondering the possibilities of self-employment from the advice given by Gary North, libertarianism's favorite Christian economist. Trading one set of problems for another, looking for the "promised land" of economic freedom and happiness in the same lifetime.

I can dream, can't I? Thanks for visiting.

NEW BLOG SUBTITLE!!!

After years of "perspectives on faith and life," I have decided to update my shifting paradigm "worldview window" blog subtitle to reflect an ever-changing database of current events and Christian growth (hopefully) in my lifetime. Sobering yet encouraging.

I hope this cosmetic, if not thematic, alteration will not detract from my myriad readers (both of you) wanting to visit this blog in the future. Perhaps some gems of truth posted here on Worldview Window will  positively impact your appreciation for the truth, no matter how ugly or unpleasant it may be.

The unspoken, if not understood, goal of blogging is to affect change (or is it "effect"). I try to identify a problem and/or a solution, be it with faith or practice, and put it before my readers for their reflection and contemplation. I try to inject humor or graphics whenever possible to compensate for the "dry bones" of textual content.

My hope is that more people will see things my way... Just kidding!!!

My hope is actually that more people will see what I see, not necessarily the way I see it. I am just a passerby pointing out to another passerby an interesting if not troubling/amusing/edifying bit of reality (such as it is) available to all who have a pulse and an Internet connection.

Belief in God is optional, though extremely preferable in light of eternity.

Thanks for visiting.

UNEMPLOYMENT WOES HIT BLOGGER... AGAIN!

Yes, friends. It is time to blog once again. When an unemployable idiot like me loses another job, there are few options left to pretend I have a "skillset" and "giftings" from God. So here I am: blogging my little heart out.

Look! I posted an image on the Internets! I know about rudimentary web design, ya know. I use Blogger to its full potential. Not every Moe, Joe, and Larry knows how to perform such highly-skilled tasks as that. But enough about my abilities, stellar though they are.

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking (or not). You're saying, this bozo -- er, I mean, dunce-- is a garden-variety moron! Nobody with two brain cells firing will hire a useless (or is it "useful") idiot like me to do any real, serious work. You know, high paying, high-brow stuff like Walmart or McDonald's. That's for young, upwardly mobile professionals with a mountain of student loan debt.

Wait a minute! I have a mountain (though it be small, thank the Lord), of student loan debt. Maybe I can get a job throwing pizzas or newspapers until a real job opportunity with one of these really successful temp agencies opens up!

Yeah, that's the ticket.

BIBLE TRANSLATION MATTERS

Well, my New Year's resolution is to intentionally grow closer to God by knowing Him better through His Word, and thereby walking closer with Christ Jesus the only Lord and Savior of sinners. The Object of my faith surely deserves more of my time with Him and His people, and warrants more of my efforts to share His Word, power, and life with those who do not yet know Him.

With that being said, I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos by popular, mainstream, and Reformed preachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and have been very encouraged in the process.

I may be unemployed now, but I am going to Heaven later! Glory to God alone.

Which brings me to bringing to you my latest video excursion into doctrinal debates from my favorite defender of the faith against modern and ancient heresies and false teachings, Dr James White.



My only comment (for the moment) is that this misguided firebrand named Steven Anderson is passionately defending an indefensible (for the most part, according to Dr White) position of King James Version Only-ism of the Holy Bible.

Let me just say, I used to be one of them -- a King James Only believer, that is -- for a short time, maybe a few years, in the '90's. Then, little by little, I was enlightened through logic, reason, and love from other pastors and teachers who were (and still are) equally as credible as my then-current pastor of a KJV church (in terms of pulpit usage).


THE DEVIL IS GOOD AT MATH, ESPECIALLY DIVISION!

So, I became disillusioned little by little, by the grace of God, until finally, I abandoned my high-and-mighty perch above those lesser-informed masses of fellow believers in Christ who did not esteem the KJV of the Bible above all others like I did. Like "we" did.

Through the loving interaction and intervention of fellow Christians who loved me enough to pray for me and lead me in a way that was better than the way I was on, I learned how to think outside the KJV box. Not to abandon the sound doctrine I had learned thus far, but to abandon my ignorance of Bible translation issues with the KJV, which seemed to be clarified in readings from other translations, to my temporary and carnal dismay.

I could wax indefinite, if not infinite, about this whole issue. Suffice it to say, it felt good and reassuring to revisit the KJV-Only issue anew in this post. I strive to love my "separated brethren," and to keep my own emotions in check. For this is indeed a very hotly debated issue in many circles I used to run in.

I feel Dr White did a masterful job of keeping a rather overbearing and stubborn opponent under control, while maintaining a godly, father-to-son-in-the-faith exchange.  In the end, it was obvious he was becoming exasperated with the unrepentant whipper-snapper, who proved to be a potentially dangerous proponent of heresy, relatively speaking.

Watch the video.

BLOG THERAPY

Okay, doc. It's like this. I'm unemployed, and the thought of getting another job scares me because of my last experience with a temp agency.

I will not say which agency yet. But Adecco (now I'll say it) lied (intentionally?) to the DES UI office to avoid paying my unemployment insurance claim.

Why? The world's largest employment agency cannot afford it? Did they lie about that, too? Maybe it was just in North America, or Europe, or...

In any event, doc, you gotta help me! I think life events and unusual pressures have exerted their stresses upon me long enough to crack me under the strain. My work ethic has taken a hit. My tolerance for stress has been minimized to practically nothing. All I can do now is watch YouTube (and blog about it ;), listen to worldview-shaking podcasts (and blog about them), and hide behind my self-righteous Facebook posts...

Well, you get the idea. I'm in a world of hurt. Hopefully, God will deliver me, as He always does, from the doldrums of unemployment, hopelessness, and financial ruin. I need confidence like never before.

It is such s shame I have to resort to self-indulgent forms of communication like blogging on my smartphone to get any kind of cry for help out there. But then, that is what self-indulgent whackoes like me have to do.

Or so I think. Have a nice day, and thanks for visiting.

BLOG MAINTENANCE POST

My home office
Well, in order to ensure that no cyberwebs have encroached upon my seldom-posted-on "weblog," (remember that old term, along with "information superhighway?"), I shall attempt to compose here a brief discourse, as it were, dealing with the subject of compelling prose.

Ha! Do you suppose I am eminently qualified to wax eloquent about the aforementioned topic? Indeed, you would be premature in your prejudice against me. For, to be premature in one's judgment is to be, in fact, prejudiced. But I digress, as usual.

I must interject at this juncture with a juxtaposition of just plain appreciation for the Peace Revolution podcast. Please see my previous post, "A Podcast To End All Wars. But I digress, again!

How now is your assessment of my treatment of the topic of compelling prose? Compelling? I trow not. (definition :) I am like the proverbial amateur connoisseur who says confidently, "I know good _______ when I see it!" Perhaps you see it. Perhaps not.

Part of writing a decent blog post is keeping your skills sharp. Even if this post today goes nowhere topically, at least I got some valuable practice in! But sometimes the inspiration from a previous post fails to carry me to completion of another "home run." Nevertheless, I try.

By the way, that was a subtle hint for you to feel free to visit my last post, because I know it is quite possibly far more interesting (compelling?) than this one. But I digress, for the last time.

Thank you for your patronage. Please come back to visit again.

A PODCAST TO END ALL WARS

TragedyandHope.com
For those who subscribe, literally or figuratively, to a conspiratorial view of history, let me post this latest find in the treasure trove of Internet (and elsewhere) resources at our disposal. We who care deeply about this crazy, evil world we live in, until Jesus takes us home, will find comfort in learning truth wherever it is found regarding historically significant events which affect peace and humanity.
I am listening to this podcast right now, which serves as a springboard for further research among a myriad, nay, a constellation, of podcasts and other media which tell the stories behind life-changing events in our time and in previous generations. 

Time restricts me from providing you all the YouTube videos and podcasts I have listened to and watched before finally reaching  this one. But here is one:


My heartfelt gratitude goes to Richard Grove for his bravery in publishing his life experiences with, or should I say, against the "status quo." This "New World Order" will stop at nothing diabolical to achieve its ends.

Please enjoy your journey through history as told by those who care about you and me, and who have and will risk their lives doing that. Thank God.
