Answer to first question is, what makes you think we aren't already at war? Since the advent of Socialism, the world has been constantly been kept in a state of turmoil. Just because a wall in Berlin went down and the USSR collapsed under the combined weight of unsustainable debt and incompetence from within the ruling party? They just don't give up. You mean nuclear war I suppose. Why bother if they can keep undermining from within? America's going down, and this will not be just for the long count, and will likely happen within the year. It would take an act of God Almighty to stop it, and once America turned its back to Him, that flagged the end was near.
You know, whatever they choose to call themselves, there are really three types of socialists, I said this elsewhere, and it is so true that I will repeat it here:
(1) Extreme socialists that do whatever it takes to undermine what's in place and replace it with a system of socialism, and tyranny results as the most treacherous of its leaders fights his way to the top spot. You think Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao, Hussein, and others just got there by chance or good fortune? If you think that, you don't know history. History is suppose to be built on facts, so make sure your source is a good one, because its been said "History is written by the victor". But re-written history is written by the insidious invader from within. America has had its history rewritten in the schoolbooks over the past decades.
(2) Those that support and cheer each new gain of socialism, who believe in its lies and false promises. Europe and the USSR all had long bouts with the most virulent and persuasive form of socialism, so they are smart enough to keep the head of socialism down now. They don't let it take over again. But time marches on, people forget, and it will be back. That is the nature of the serpent. Guile, treachery, and temptation. Read the story of the Garden of Eden and see the serpent there bait Eve into disobedience to God. This new serpent doesn't just promise an apple (or whatever fruit it really was), but free government money in exchange for their votes. And a tolerance as the socialist continue to gain dominancy by trampling on the rights of others.
(3) The many caught up by socialism-on-the-move who are simply blind to what is happening around them. I've seen pictures of life on farms where huge swarms or rats invade silos of grain to feed, and farmers stood by helpless to stop it. Most people would be part of that swarm, just going along with the flow of things. Taken all together like that, they are more than a match for the farmer. A similar story in Australia where rabbits were introduced for a bit of sport in hunting them. With no natural predators, they bred like mad and overran the nation. I don't know the full story, but rabbits in those numbers don't seem to be a problem anymore.
Now we know that rats and rabbits (or wild hares) are not going to join forces with the farmer under any set of circumstances. The farmers won't have it, for one thing. And here we can see how the rich and powerful are much like the farmer when dealing with the rest of the population.
And the socialist can use this as yet another way to stir up the population, to use it as a tool by effectively saying "Bring down the rich!", and "Take their money and redistribute the wealth!"
You know what they say: "Hey, if it works it works". The socialists just add to this: "if it works for us, just do it". No morality or ethics involved at all. Take over churches with socialists disquised as men of the cloth. Take over schools and school boards with more socialists, but these more open about it, because they are going to change your child's mind through their own form of education, and they want to make socialism appear respected. Take over the judicial system, which is the only branch of government with no safeguards or system of checks and balances in it (beyond the Appeals process, which just goes to other members of the judicial system) . Form ther the Socialists began to rewrite existing laws and effectively write new laws by court decisions.
Now they've taken over the Executive Branch with an extreme socialist elected as President, and he controls the military. He's been reaffirmed to have the right to declare Martial Law, and there are no checks and balances against the power of the Commander in Chief. He's not going to vacate office, he will remain by force, he will suspend the Constitution and he already has a socialistic structure in place in the form of the extended federal government agencies, and this Republic will fall. So a year maximum before this happens, to take place before we can choose a new leader from our ranks, one that might organize an opposition to his plans. Obama admires, even idolizes Abraham Lincoln because Lincoln revealed that Martial Law is the means to seize control of a nation. Lincoln is the only one to ever use it, and he used it to put down rebellions in the North and to crush a rebellious South. The difference is, Lincoln merely suspended the Constitution. Obama will do away with it. Lincoln used it to retain a Republic, with no intention of keeping power. Obama will use it to tear down the same Republic and stay in power.
Many people believe Obama is not a Christian. They are right. Some believe he is a Muslim instead. These people are wrong. He's an extreme socialist, and that is what he has always been. He doesn't have hide it. Half of America thinks socialism is a good thing. The other half don't care, don't know, or just let things happen.
War is in America's future. The war of extermination and survival against denomination and control. But I see maybe a half century of socialism at the helm first, until we breed a new generation or two of fighters who will go all out to win back their freedoms. Technology will likely prevent this from happening in an organized way, it will take spontaneity, a spark and a flare-up, to cause it to happen at all. It worked to bring the USSR down. If failed in China in Tiananmen Square. The Russians had the Chernobyl disaster to motivate them. China brought in a illiterate army from the sticks to beat submission into the city dwellers and get back control.
The Holy Bible's prophecies are not on America's side. This part of the world, much less the USA, does not appear in the Word of God. We are gone and done with before the final days come.
WWIII does not have to happen, because we are all caught up in the eternal war, of Good against Evil, and Evil wins out, which was recognized in the holy book. But that's about this world, not the next. Now there will be a 1,000 year reign by Christ here on this earth, and that could begin at any time, but when is the question. How does that fit into the rest? God does not reveal all through his prophets, only enough to let us know that He is real when a prophecy comes to pass.
That way you either have to accept Him on faith, reaffirmed by fulfilled prophecy, or reject Him if you believe in what the Evil side tells you instead. Does that make science evil? No, it's a tool used as part of the effort to confuse us, to lead us astray. It's like saying a gun is evil when it is the person behind the gun that you need to be most concerned about.
Very Christian of me, and you won't accept my say-so, my opinion, view, or faith in these matters, so you immediately discount all that I say. Hey, that is who you are, and what you have come to be as a person, with all the influences that have been a part in shaping you to be as you are. Ever question your foundation? Ever check for dents, signs of rust, evidence of leaks, or kicked the tires? Cars aren't built to last forever, and neither are you. Or me. Or anyone. So what comes next? Nothingness? Is that what you want to believe? What you choose to believe is what really defines you, and I choose to believe in what is good, pure, love, and hope. God is also known as Lord, if you want to stick with four letters. Truth is five letters, but He is about that as well.
So I call it the way I see it, and it is not good, and not getting better. I would expect that, as this is what the good book teaches us. We are already in the war of the future, and you see evidence of this all around you. Every day. The difference between ISIS and Socialism is in how quickly they resort to violence as a tactic, and the degree they go in eliminating others. ISIS wants to wipe others out completely. Socialism wants to dominate others totally. You can die under one or be a slave under the other. How's that for choice?
I think I answered the "yet" question as well. I mean it's all there, you just have to find it for yourself. I cover it pretty well on my Facebook page, but I cover it even more thoroughly at my website at

Opinion is when you can't support your arguments with facts. I use history as a starting point, and follow what others have learned and said concerning those findings. That's then just their opinion. But they do the same and say so, and that leads you to more facts and opinions. These represent pieces, and when the pieces begin to fit together, then you know you are on the way to discovering the truth. You also find others that ignore, hide, or dispute the facts as a means of reputiating what others say. When that doesn't work, they mob you with insults and flames, so you end up wasting time trying to put them back in their place. It's like howling dogs at night, and you can't shout them down or drown them out.
A big lie is that the Holocaust never happened. I wasn't there and never saw it directly and I was only a child, but I saw the photos and I heard my parents, and many did see it for themselves. So I know it happened. It really happened. And it shames us all. And we don't like that. So now people would rather believe the opposite, so they listen to those that claim they can prove that the story of the Holocaust is the real lie here. This staggers my mind, but it is actually happening. That's the kind of world we live in. That's how craven we are if you go to our depths. People consistently fail to think for themselves or seek out the facts on their own, and this is what you end up with: A world mired in distortions, fabrications, misconceptions, and all these can be traced back to a root know as the Lie. The world is about Lies, and lies are a main part of Evil's arsenal.
Do you teach your kids nice things, like Christmas, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny? Those are essentially lies wrapped up nicely in bows. Christmas is about Christ and what he did and is going for us. Instead we teach then about Santa Claus, elves, a flying sled, and a magical night where gifts are bestowed on good children. That is their reward, that we should lie to them? So they learn differently as they get older, but the pattern is set. They will do the same to their own children.
More lies: Bambi, Pinochio, Peter Rabbit, Donald Duck, cartoons, super powers and super beings, and the list never stops. Movies, tv shows, novels, where nobody really dies, and the people portrayed are mostly fictional, and all played by actors following a script. Tell me, how much truth is being taught now? They can't tell what is true and what isn't. My stepson believed that UFOs had to be real because it was on tv. So television defines the truth now? That is unreal. But my great aunt believed that negroes were akin to apes, not man, because that is what she read in the yellow press. The yellow press were just cheaply printed papers that yellowed quickly because it was the cheapest paper possible at the time, but it was IN PRINT, so it must be the truth. Her husband could not stand the person she had become, so stayed in his den behind a closed door except for meal times.
My wife knows, but doesn't want to know, what's happening. She get emails and looks at them briefly, but she won't talk politics and leaves as soon as anything is said along that line. To her it is just church, family, friends, and making ends meet. I love beyond reason, and I will never leave her by choice, but it does disturb me that I can't talk to her about what concerns me most. My wife isn't dumb. She makes good decisions and choices. But blinding yourself to reality is not going to help in the terrible times to come. It's called Facing Facts. I'm not the first to recognize its importance. I'm a late comer myself, in that I ignore politics until 2008, when my eyes were abruptly opened by two people who are diametrically opposed to each other. One was Obama, a man who promised too much, and was not properly screened or tested in politics. The other was Glenn Beck of FoxNews. Watching and listening to Glenn Beck taught me a lot real fast, and he had the facts in hand. He was instrumental in the creation of the Tea Party Movement, but it was not what he was going for. The Tea Party is a splinter party, loud but not that effective. Glenn wanted the Conservative to unite together and become one loud and powerful force to make real change, not to just yammer away when they didn't like something.
Now the American public is about to screw over itself by picking another unfit man to become president. He's loud, he's getting the attention, but he actually has nothing to offer. He's made money, lots of it, by gambling other people's money on risky ventures, where he got paid no matter what. If the venture succeeds, he makes lots of money, If it goes under, he keeps what he's already got because he's protected under our bankruptcy laws, while everybody else loses theirs. If that is a formula for success, America doesn't need it. Or him. He's even bartering how
he gets paid now, asking to be paid in gold coin rather than paper money. He know the American currency is about to tank. He's said so. But that does not make him smart enough to be President. No, I believe that Donald Trump, who is by record a Democratic supporter, entered the race to give the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, a better chance at winning by dividing the Republican vote further. That he's ahead must make him feel pretty good. What would he do if he actually won the nomination? I have no earthy idea. He's that much of an uncertainty.
