I have been somewhat under the weather so this monthly perspective will be fairly short. You see a slightly different look on this blog because I am trying to integrate it more with the main website. People coming to this blog often do not know that this blog is only part of a larger website. “The Prophetic Years<\/strong>” is the name of my website so you should now see that named displayed in the middle of the banner along with the blog title above it. If your not seeing that, you will have to clear your browser cache and then do a refresh.<\/p>\n

The header information is the same as the information on the sidebar under pages. It now includes links to the sub-directories of my website give them a click and you will get the picture.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Egypt is the big news this month. It seems rather strange to me that after 30 years of rule by Mubarak who is now a 82 year old man and ready to die, that the people in Egypt would revolt against him. This thing looks like it was planned and orchestrated by leftist socialists and Islamic extremists. It looks to me like the West intends to not give Mubarak any choice but to resign and go into exile. If he was so bad why wait 30 years to tell him to get out, or is it now really all about appeasement of the Left and the radical Muslim Brotherhood?<\/p>\n

I guess nothing has changed in 30 years. The global elite never learn. Do they actually think that they can make Egypt a democracy when they only have the facade of a democracy left in their own nations? There are zero democracies in the Arab world and it will remain that way. Iraq does not qualify because it is occupied and once U.S troops are out it will revert back to rule by a strongman.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Carter threw the Shaw of Iran under the bus and look how Iran has progressed. Egypt will have a similar fate once Mubarak is gone. Then there will either be civil war between the military and the Islamics or they will\u00a0 go through the facade of elections and the Muslim Brotherhood will take over the country.<\/p>\n

Mubarak has a peace treaty with Israel, the Muslim Brotherhood wants war. The foolishness of Obama and the West is going to lead to the Psalm 83 war and the Arab nations around Israel will be crushed with or without the help of the U.S.<\/p>\n

The new unemployment figures are quite misleading. Gallop poll is saying that unemployment is almost 10 percent and the government is saying it is 9 percent. They also say that only 36,000 jobs were created last month. However, it takes many more times that amount of jobs just to accommodate normal population growth. That number of jobs does not reduce unemployment. So how could the unemployment rate fall last month? Apparently many people are just no longer being counted because they reportedly are no longer looking for a job. Another explanation could be that people without jobs and homes cannot afford a phone so they do not get polled and counted, or perhaps they do not want to answer their phones because of creditors, or they so distrust government surveys that they just hang up.<\/p>\n

To put the latest job growth figures in proper perspective, Canada added twice as many jobs to the labor force than we did last month and Canada has about one tenth of our population. Therefore, Canada’s job growth was about twenty times higher than ours was last month. What are they doing right that our administration is doing wrong?<\/p>\n

Soon almost every state in the union will be making large budget cuts. On average probably ten percent or more of all state workers will be added to the unemployment roles in the next year. The same can be said about local government employees.<\/p>\n

If the lights and heat are going out in your neck of the woods because of the power and gas shortage you can thank Obama and the democrats for that. They have made it about impossible for any new energy development. This is only going to get worse in the future and if Obama gets reelected you can be sure that rolling blackouts will be one way they will force everyone to use less energy. Also, keep in mind that energy prices will double or even triple if Obama gets his way. People had better wake up. Its not all about one or two issues. Obama is leading this country to ruin, yet his poll numbers are going back up? What hope is there for a nation where the majority has become brain dead or immoral or apathetic or government dependents? If conservatives and libertarians expect to get someone elected in 2012 they better learn how to first wake up the dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
