GLOBALISTS FREAK AS "TROPICAL TRUMP" BOLSONARO WINS IN BRAZIL~WILL CLOSE "PALESTINIAN" EMBASSY & MOVE BRAZILIAN EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM


GLOBALISTS FREAK AS "TROPICAL TRUMP" 
BOLSONARO WINS IN BRAZIL 
BY ALEX NEWMAN
Brazilian Congressman Jair Bolsonaro's platform was everything the establishment despises, all wrapped up in one campaign: pro-God, pro-free market, anti-globalist, pro-family, anti-corruption, pro-gun rights, anti-establishment, pro-life, anti-communist, pro-Western Christian civilization, anti-cultural Marxism, and pro-Brazil. And now, thanks to evangelicals and conservative Catholics uniting in an election that shocked the globalist political class worldwide, the so-called Tropical Trump, or Trump of the Tropics, is Brazil's next president. It is likely that U.S. President Donald Trump and Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro (shown) will have a lot in common. And assuming Bolsonaro keeps his campaign pledges — a likely prospect considering his decades of walking the talk — Brazil is set to see a counter-revolution that could set the powerful communist and globalist movements in Latin America back by decades or more.
What happened in Brazil over the weekend represents a political earthquake of immense proportions. After two back-to-back communist-controlled administrations nearly drove Brazil into the abyss of totalitarianism over a period of about a dozen years, a fierce anti-communist opposed to globalism has come to “rescue Brazil,” as Bolsonaro put it. Former President Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva — a close ally of the Castro regime, Marxist narco-terror movements, and other murderers and criminals — is behind bars for flagrant corruption in the “Operation Car Wash” (Lava Jato) scandal. His handpicked successor, Dilma Rousseff, was impeached and removed from office by Congress amid massive anti-communist demonstrations. Lula's next minion, Fernando Haddad, meanwhile, went down in flames in Sunday's election, with Bolsonaro winning by a margin of around 12 percentage points. Haddad's campaign slogan was simple yet obviously ineffective: “Haddad is Lula.”
Instead of electing another Marxist masquerading as a “moderate,” conservative Catholics and increasingly influential evangelical Christians teamed up in the world's largest Catholic country to not only stop the march of communism, but to root it out completely. Ranchers and the agricultural community played a large role, too. And so did everyday Brazilians sick and tired of corruption, oppression, high taxes, out-of-control crime, massive unemployment, and other hallmarks of socialist and communist nations everywhere. Some analysts are calling the historic Bolsonaro election a “revolution” in Brazilian politics. However, much more accurate would be to describe it as a peaceful counter-revolution, with the Lula-backed revolution in Brazil and across the region now shattered. Indeed, the Foro de São Paulo, a communist network founded by Lula, Castro, the Sandinistas, the communist terror group known as the FARC, and other forces, was on the cusp of conquering all of Latin America. Now, they are on the run practically everywhere, with many of the top leaders dead or in prison.

Now, they are on the run practically everywhere, with many of the top leaders dead or in prison.      
In typical fashion, though, the establishment media around the world was not interested in the real story. Instead, they chose to reveal just how far to the left they have gone, blasting the obviously mainstream candidate as a “far-right” extremist. The media continuously lied about Bolsonaro in other ways, too, seeking to portray him as some sort of monster on the verge of killing everyone. Like Trump, Bolsonaro occasionally speaks before thinking through his comments. And so, as with Trump, the press has endlessly recycled the same three or four quotes to paint him as some sort of dictator-admiring racist, sexist, and bigot. Obviously, the Brazilian people did not fall for it. Ironically, many of the same establishment mouthpieces who portrayed actual communist terrorist Rousseff as a “moderate” claimed Bolsonaro was “extreme” and “radical.”  
Indeed, one of the key lines of attack is the claim that Bolsonaro is a supporter of dictatorship who would jail, torture, and execute his political opponents. In reality, the former Army captain has simply expressed support for the (admittedly sometimes overzealous) efforts of Brazil's pre-1985 military government to keep communist terrorists and murderous revolutionaries in check. Of course, what the media fail to mention is that, had it not been for the anti-communist efforts of Brazilian authorities and others in the region such as Chilean General Augusto Pinochet, the entire South American continent could and likely would look today like Communist Cuba — a giant open-air prison and slave state ruled by communist criminals in which dissent is not tolerated, critics are tortured and executed, Christians are persecuted, poverty reigns supreme, and everyone except the ruling elite is equally miserable. However, Bolsonaro was able to bypass the media's dishonest reporting and reach out directly to the people using the Internet, social media, and direct communications spread by his supporters.  
But while the establishment media in Brazil and worldwide, which Bolsonaro ridicules as “fake news,” was almost unanimously against him, the people were clearly behind him. “I was never alone,” Bolsonaro told supporters outside his Rio de Janeiro home after his victory. “I always felt the presence of God and the force of the Brazilian people.” A failed assassination attempt on the campaign trail nearly claimed his life, but Bolsonaro pulled through. And now, he is vowing to make Brazil great. “We have everything we need to become a great nation,” Bolsonaro said in a Facebook video after the vote was called for him. “Together we will change the destiny of Brazil.” Despite “fake news” reports claiming he would institute a dictatorship, Bolsonaro vowed to respect liberty, the rule of law, self-government, and the Brazilian Constitution. “I will be the president of everyone,” he said, adding that ideological indoctrination pushed under the previous regimes would be removed from schools. “It should not be us against them, them against us. We need politics that serve the interests of everyone.... We will unite everyone and be one people, one nation.” He concluded by asking God for strength to do the right thing for Brazil.  
President Trump called Bolsonaro after the victory was announced and wished him “good luck” in what Bolsonaro described as “obviously a very friendly contact.” And on foreign policy, Bolsonaro is expected to follow Trump in defending Western Christian civilization against the twin threats of cultural Marxism and global Islamist jihad. In fact, Bolsonaro’s top candidate for foreign minister, Ernesto Henrique Fraga Araújo, last year wrote a fantastically insightful piece in a foreign-policy journal headlined “Trump and the West.” In it, Fraga Araújo, a senior Brazilian diplomat, compares the Trump presidency to a “Hail Mary pass” in a football game. With the Christian West on the verge of destruction — and many Westerners not even realizing that a “game” threatening their civilization was underway — along came Trump with a series of almost impossible wins to potentially rescue his nation and civilization from forces bent on its annihilation. 
God, Christianity, and faith, Fraga Araújo wrote, are crucial to the Western world's identity — far more so than economic vitality, military might, or any of the other ideas and values that have increasingly supplanted them in the globalist-backed worldview. And among top leaders of the West, only Trump and a handful of others understand that the Brazilian diplomat explained, quoting extensively from some of Trump's international speeches. The prominent diplomat, who may go on to lead the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Bolsonaro administration, called for Brazil to recover its own Western roots and extricate itself from the globalist multilateral web that has been imposed on it. In a subsequent blog post headlined “Against Globalism,” Fraga Araújo called for Brazilians to unite behind Bolsonaro to rescue Brazil. Many, obviously, decided to do exactly that.   
Some Bolsonaro supporters in Brazil and beyond expressed concerns about the then-candidate's meeting with Shannon O'Neill, the “Nelson and David Rockefeller Senior Fellow for Latin America Studies” at the global government-promoting Council on Foreign Relations. The Deep State organization's members, including O'Neill's radical predecessor Julia Sweig, a Castro apparatchik, have been known for promoting globalism and socialism around the world. In fact, defectors and whistleblowers, such as U.S. Admiral Chester Ward, have said publicly that the CFR's membership is virtually united in a quest to surrender national sovereignty and self-government and impose a global government on humanity in their place. “The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence, and submergence into an all-powerful one-world government,” warned the widely respected U.S. admiral.
Sweig, the previous “Nelson and David Rockefeller Senior Fellow for Latin America Studies,” was so extreme that she was accused by a U.S. counterintelligence official of being an “agent of influence” for the mass-murdering regime enslaving Cuba — a regime put in power with crucial assistance from a large roster of CFR members in media and government. But despite the one-time meeting with CFR globalists, several individuals close to the Bolsonaro campaign told The New American that Bolsonaro is the real deal and firmly rejects globalism. In fact, at the meeting, Bolsonaro touted bilateralism and bilateral agreements between governments, rather than the CFR-backed vision of regional and global governance schemes that now encircles the globe. Bolsonaro was also briefed by advisors on the true nature of the CFR, sources told The New American. And after the meeting, CFR mouthpiece Foreign Affairs continued to pump out anti-Bolsonaro propaganda, suggesting the globalists were less than impressed with him. That is all good news for Brazil, liberty, and humanity.   
What happened in Brazil this weekend is truly historic. For supporters of liberty and Christian civilization, and for opponents of communism and tyranny, this should be a time for celebration. Like Trump, Bolsonaro is merely human, and so, he is obviously not perfect. Without question, he will sometimes be wrong. But that is not the important issue here. In short, the progress of the most murderous “ideology” in human history across a major region of the world has been halted and reversed in an unprecedented, peaceful counter-revolution. The establishment seeking a globalist “world order” has been dealt a stunning blow by the Brazilian people. Trump, Bolsonaro, and the growing roster of national leaders united in defense of their nations and their peoples can and should cooperate in defeating globalism and socialism for good. It is an incredible time to be alive.

New Brazil President to close “Palestinian” embassy: “You do not negotiate with terrorists”

BY ROBERT SPENCER

A refreshing dose of reality from a country that has supported the “Palestinian” jihad for a considerable period.
“Brazilians elect first ardently pro-Israel president,” by 
RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA) — Brazilians elected a president who is a far-right, ardently pro-Israel veteran pol who once declared “My heart is green, yellow, blue and white,” in a reference to the colors of the Israeli and Brazilian flags.
“Far-right”: i.e., hated by the political and media establishment.
Jair Bolsonaro, a 63-year-old seven-term congressman who built his campaign around pledges to crush corruption and crime, secured over 55 percent of the vote, an 11 percent lead over his far-left rival Fernando Haddad.
“We cannot continue flirting with socialism, communism, populism and leftist extremism … We are going to change the destiny of Brazil,” said Bolsonaro in his late Sunday night acceptance speech broadcast from his home in Rio, which showed a Jewish menorah in the background of the video.
Highly divisive among Jewish voters, the Conservative lawmaker — whose middle name, Messias, literally means “messiah” — won the ballot after a drama-filled election that looks set to radically reforge the future of the world’s fourth biggest democracy, leaving nearly 15 years of far-left governments behind….
For many Jewish voters, Bolsonaro has always been a dream president. He has declared he will move the Brazilian embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. His first international trip as president, he said, will be to Israel, with which he will seek to broaden the dialogue. And he promised to close the Palestinian embassy in Brasilia.
“Is Palestine a country? Palestine is not a country, so there should be no embassy here,” Bolsonaro said weeks ago. “You do not negotiate with terrorists.”…
“Bolsonaro stood out among the many candidates for including the State of Israel in the major speeches he made during the campaign,” Israel’s honorary consul in Rio, Osias Wurman, told JTA last week. “He is a lover of the people and the State of Israel.”…

RON PAUL: TRUMP IS RIGHT, THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS CRAZY

RON PAUL: TRUMP IS RIGHT, 
THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS CRAZY 
SEE: http://the-trumpet-online.com/trump-right-fed-crazy/republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
President Trump recently called the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes crazy. Leaving aside President Trump’s specific complaint, which is likely motivated by the belief that low rates will help him win reelection, he is right that “crazy” is a good way to describe the Federal Reserve.
When not forced to use a government-created currency, individuals have historically chosen to use a precious metal such as gold or silver as money. The reasons include that precious metals are durable and their value tends to remain relatively stable over time. A stable currency ensures that prices accurately convey the true value of goods and services.
A main value of a precious metal is it accurately conveys the true price of money, which is the Interest rate. If the interest rate reflects the manipulation of central bankers and not true market conditions, individuals will be unable to properly allocate resources between savings and current consumption.
In contrast to market money, government-created fiat currency is anything but stable. Central banks constantly increase and decrease the money supply in an attempt to control the economy by controlling the interest rates. This causes individuals to misread market conditions, leading to a misallocation of resources. This can create an illusion of prosperity. But eventually reality catches up to the Federal Reserve-created fantasies. When that happens, there is a recession or worse, leading the Fed to start the whole boom-and-bust cycle over again.
When central banks create money, those who first get the new money enjoy an increase in purchasing power before the new money causes a real increase in prices. Those who receive the money first are members of the banking and financial elite. By the time the new money reaches the middle class and working class, inflation has set in, so any gain in purchasing power is more than offset by the increase in inflation. Thus, central banking causes income inequality.
Since the Federal Reserve’s creation in 1913, the dollar has lost most of its value. The steady erosion of the dollar’s value punishes savers and rewards those who seek instant gratification even if it requires piling up massive debts. So the Federal Reserve is at least partially to blame for the rise of a culture that devalues thrift.
The very act of creating money and manipulating interest rates distorts the market. Therefore, the Federal Reserve System cannot be fixed with a “rules-based” monetary policy or even with “tying” the Fed-created money supply to the price of gold. It is amazing how many economists who oppose price controls on all other goods support allowing a secretive central bank to control the price of money.
Trusting the Federal Reserve to produce permanent prosperity instead of a boom-and-bust cycle is a textbook example of a popular definition of insanity being repeating the same action in hope of getting different results. The Federal Reserve System is as unworkable and doomed to failure as every other form of central planning.
It is likely that the next Fed-created recession will come sooner rather than later. This could be the major catastrophe that leads to the end of fiat currency. The only way to avoid crisis is to force Congress to end our monetary madness. The first steps are passing the Audit the Fed bill, allowing people to use alternative currencies, and exempting all transactions in precious metals and cryptocurrencies from capital gains taxes and other taxes.

Benny Hinn, the false prophet and fake healer of World Healing Center Church, Inc. (aka Benny Hinn Ministries) has been sued by Mail America Communications, Inc. for the amount of $2,993,221.74 in unpaid loans, interest, and late fees which it borrowed in the original amount of over 5.6 million.
According to the lawsuit, Hinn began defaulting on his loan obligations in June of 2012 leading to a series of forbearance agreements:
Between June of 2012 and August of 2016, MAC and WHCC entered into series of formal and informal forbearance agreements and memoranda of understanding regarding the payment defaults under the Note and with respect to temporary reduced payments that MAC would be willing to accept from time to time on account of WHCC’s obligations under the Note without waiving or altering the terms of the Note.
In July of 2018, Hinn defaulted once again on the forbearance agreement with Mail America Communications, Inc. Hinn then promised to make a lump sum payment of $260 thousand, which he also failed to pay, causing Mail America Communications to file a lawsuit for damages due to “Breach of Contract” in the amount of $2,993,221.74.
Benny Hinn could not be reached for comment.

PASTORS WILL ASK FOR GOD'S BLESSING ON PLANNED PARENTHOOD ABORTION CLINIC


PASTORS WILL ASK FOR GOD'S BLESSING 
ON PLANNED PARENTHOOD ABORTION CLINIC

It’s one of the most sacrilegious acts a religious leader could perform, but it’s happening again — this time in Columbus, Ohio.  There, on the evening of November 9, the so-called Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice is planning a “blessing” of the Planned Parenthood abortion center.
This appears to be a response to the closing ceremony of the 40 Days for Life campaign. The event is called Holy Ground: Blessing the Sacred Space of Decision, and an event description reads:
During this clinic blessing, participants will gather with local faith leaders and guests to ask for God’s blessing upon Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio’s East Columbus Surgical facility, the abortion providers and staff, and all those who pass through the center.
In celebration of conscience and moral decision making, this event will include interfaith blessings, prayers, and testimonies about receiving and providing abortion care. This clinic blessing will create space for progressive voices of faith to speak boldly in support of comprehensive reproductive health care, especially abortion.
Mark Harrington, President of the pro-life group Created Equal informed LifeNews of the event. He said Planned Parenthood abortion practitioners kill babies at the abortion clinic in dismemberment abortions whey they are nearly 5 months old.

He said: “To suggest that God advocates for the shedding of innocent blood is blasphemous. In scripture, Satan “masquerades as an angel of light” and “is a liar and the father of lies.’ Abortion is a frontal attack on those made in His image – human beings. Authentic ministers of God oppose the killing of the preborn, they don’t promote it.”
“If you never believed abortion was child sacrifice, think again. These priests of child-killing may not be offering children as a human sacrifice to Molech, a Canaanite deity associated with the practice of child sacrifice, but instead are offering them to a modern false idol called ‘reproductive choice,” he added.



800 INFLUENTIAL ISLAMIC SCHOLARS FROM 120 COUNTRIES TO MEET IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THAT ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE

800 INFLUENTIAL ISLAMIC SCHOLARS FROM 120 COUNTRIES TO MEET IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THAT ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE
BY ROBERT SPENCER
SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/10/800-influential-islamic-scholars-from-120-countries-to-meet-in-order-to-establish-that-islam-is-a-religion-of-peacerepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
If it really were a religion of peace, they wouldn’t have to hold big conferences to prove it; it would be obvious to everyone. But there is an unfortunate reality that the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies is likely to ignore: there has never been a period since the beginning of Islam that was characterized by large-scale peaceful coexistence between Muslims and non-Muslims. There was no time when mainstream and dominant Islamic authorities taught the equality of non-Muslims with Muslims, or the obsolescence of jihad warfare. There was no Era of Good Feeling, no Golden Age of Tolerance, no Paradise of Proto-Multiculturalism. There has always been, with virtually no interruption, jihad, everywhere Muslims and non-Muslims have lived in close proximity with one another. Everywhere Muslims and non-Muslims have lived together, some of those Muslims have been violent toward the non-Muslims. Everywhere. Without exception.
I prove this abundantly, relying primarily on Islamic sources, in my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISISDr Mohammad Mattar Al Kaabi will likely never see this post, and that’s a shame. If he did see it, I invite him to prove me wrong. He can reach me at director@jihadwatch.org. If he provides me with an address, I will send him a copy of The History of Jihad, and if he finds a historical error in it, I will make a $5,000 contribution to the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies.
But neither he nor any other Muslim will take up that challenge, because they would not be able to prove that Islam has ever been a religion of peace, anywhere, at any point in its history. The public policy implications of that are massive, which is why there are such strenuous efforts, such as this conference, to cover it up.
“Peace forum to set up ‘alliance of virtues’ on Islam,” by Samir Salama, Gulf News, October 24, 2018:


Abu Dhabi: The 5th edition of the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies, to be held in Abu Dhabi on December 5, will establish that Islam is a religion of peace and justice, said Dr Mohammad Mattar Al Kaabi, secretary general of the forum, an Abu Dhabi-based international organisation.
The forum will bring together more than 800 of the world’s most influential Islamic scholars and thinkers from 120 countries, including ministers of religious affairs, muftis, representatives of the Muslim communities and delegates from the United Nations and rights organisations across the world….
“The idea came following the resounding success of the peace caravan, where an intimate and diverse group of US Muslim, Christian and Jewish clerics convened in Abu Dhabi last year to understand and appreciate theological differences while focusing on the synergism of religious commonalities essential to building healthy ad peaceful communities,” Dr Al Kaabi said.
“These endeavours culminated in an international conference in Washington D.C. in February this year under the theme ‘An Alliance of Virtues for the Common Good’. The event drew participation from hundreds of Christian pastors, Jewish rabbis and Muslim imams, alongside academics and researchers concerned with the culture of peace, as well as representatives of major international organisations and the US civil society. This landmark event was the first time the Abrahamic family of religions convened in all its diversity, to agree on new foundations for a religious dialogue, one that transcends disputation and proselytisation to achieve a discourse of mutual acquaintance and cooperation based upon common values.”…
The forum will tackle five main topics: a contemporary outlook of early Islam’s Alliance of Virtues, treaties and covenants in Islam, contemporary crises of religions and mankind, religion and the ethics of universal solidarity, and a new alliance of virtues — an opportunity for global peace.

Robertson is a rising star among the evangelical left. 
He identifies as bisexual.
This is is Brandan Robertson. He is an emerging personality on the religious left. Robertson pastors Missiongathering Christian Church, a San Diego church affiliated with the Disciples of Christ. Robertson graduated from  Moody Bible Institute. He has written in  The Washington Post, Tim Magazine, and The Huffington Post. He also speaks at the Wild Goose Festival, a liberal religious gathering referred to as a “Gay Christian Woodstock,” which we have previously written about here. Most recently, Robertson claimed that polyamorous relationships (having intimate sexual relationships with multiple people, such as in an “open marriage”) is “holy, welcome and celebrated.”
Robertson tweeted this out last week…
In honor and support of @QTheology recent webinar on non-monogamous relationships, I want to share this word that I spoke to our congregation on the topic this summer:
#FaithfullyLGBT pic.twitter.com/ygiud05lED
— Brandan Robertson (@BrandanJR) October 18, 2018
Robertson then posted a video (now deleted) in which he says the following (as transcribed by Juicy Ecumenism, here)…
“For those who are in an open or polyamorous relationship here this morning who might be squirming, because this is an uncomfortable question to hear in church sometimes. I want you to hear me loud and clear as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Your relationships are holy. They are beautiful and they are welcomed and celebrated in this space.”
And:
“We call all of us together to the same set of standards that we call everyone to: to seek to follow Jesus in all of our relationships. To seek to be honest and respectful and self-sacrificial and consensual and loving with your partners. When any of us live into these standards we can be sure we are on the path to wholeness and holiness.”
Robertson is – according to Vice Magazine – one of the “Woke Young Evangelicals Trying to Make Christianity Cool Again.” We compared him and others highlighted by Vice to Russell Moore here.
If that’s what “cool” is, no thanks.
