The Most Influential “Bad Hombre” in the World?
I was tempted to call this “The Most Influential Evil Person in the World” but thought that headline might raise a few eyebrows. I decided to use the phrase that Donald Trump made popular this past year:
Bad Hombre or “Bad Man.”
I’ve been meditating recently on movements of evil in the world i.e. what is anti-God, destructive, and motivated by the satanic realm. The question was “What single person on earth is influencing the greatest amount of evil on the planet?
You might be surprised by my answer–and even more by what I want you to do.
I believe the most influential bad hombre in the world today is…
Before I reveal the name, let’s remove a few possibilities. Foremost might be Kim Jong-un, the infantile dictator of North Korea. He’s a reasonable choice for potential evil because of nuclear weapons. But he doesn’t impact many folks beyond greatly oppressing his own people.
Another possibility is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of ISIS. He’s evil, killed thousands, but his kingdom is shrinking and his influence isn’t global. After him you might select the Supreme Leader of Iran–but his control is also regional. Or the president of China–which is still a communist nation and oppresses, to some degree, over 1.3 billion people.
But what person in the world possesses the greatest evil reach?
My choice:
George Soros.
Here are the reasons and what I want you to join me in doing.
George Soros was born in Budapest in 1930, then escaped Nazi-occupied Hungary in 1947–later emigrating to England. He graduated form the London School of Economics, worked as a banker, then started his first hedge fund in 1969–eventually renamed the Quantum Fund–which grew from $12 million to $25 billion dollars in less than fifty years.
Soros lives in the United States (Bedford Hills suburb of New York) and is one of the world’s 30 richest people. He is a well known supporter of progressive causes through his Open Society Foundations. Between 1979 and 2011, Soros donated 11 billion dollars to those groups to advance his purpose.
Human Events lists ten different ways Soros influences the world (for evil):
1. He gives billions to left-wing groups: Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 and has given more than $7 billion to anti-God, anti-freedom groups such as ACORN, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women.
2. He influences U.S. elections to try and change America. Soros hosted a 2004 fund-raiser for Barack Obama when he was running for the Illinois Senate and gave the maximum financial contribution when he ran for President. He opposes all conservatives viciously (Bush, Trump etc.)
3. He wants to curtail American sovereignty: Soros would like America to become subservient to international bodies. In 1998, he wrote: “Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.”
4. Media Matters: Soros is a financial backer of Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group committed to globalism. Its founder, David Brock, has openly declared war on Fox News, mounting “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” against the cable news channel.
5. MoveOn.org: Soros has been a major founder of MoveOn.org, a progressive advocacy group and political action committee that raises millions for far-left candidates.
6. Center for American Progress: Headed by John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager. There has also been a revolving door between Democratic White Houses and the Soros-funded think tank.
7. Environmental extremism: Former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones and his radical environmental ideas were funded by Soros’ money to groups such as: the Ella Baker Center, Green For All, the Center for American Progress, and the Apollo Alliance, which was instrumental in getting $110 billion in green initiatives included in Obama’s stimulus package (which failed) .
8. America Coming Together: Soros gave nearly $20 million to this group with the express purpose of defeating President George W. Bush. A massive get-out-the-vote effort, ACT’s door-to-door canvassing teams included numerous felons, its voter registration drives were riddled with fraud, and it handed out incendiary fliers and made misleading taped phone calls to voters.
9. Currency manipulation: A large part of Soros’ multi billion-dollar fortune has come from manipulating currencies. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad accused him of bringing down the nation’s currency through his trading activities, and in Thailand he was called an “economic war criminal.” He is known as “The Man Who Broke the Bank of England” because his short sale of US $10 billion worth of British pounds made him a $1 billion profit during the 1992 English currency crisis.
10. Delusional: Soros has said repeatedly that he sees himself as a messianic figure. “I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of my self-importance—I fancied myself as some kind of god,” and “I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood.”
Dangerous, money-backed fantasies.
I would add a recent Number Eleven to this list. Soros gave $246 million dollars to fifty protest groups over the past decade to create chaos in America,. This included being the biggest donor to the “Women’s March” and the recent “A Day Without a Woman” protest (held on a prominent communist revolution date).
Of the Women’s March 544 partners, 100 groups received money from Soros between 2000 and 2014 that totaled $246,637,217, according to the Media Research Center. The ACLU ($37 million), Human Rights Watch ($32 million) and Planned Parenthood ($21 million) were the largest recipients.
“Those donations represent just a fragment of Soros’ massive global influence,” the Media Research Center said in its report. “His Open Society Foundations have given away more than $13 billion to push his globalist, anti-American views.”
And a most recent Soros cause: the European Refuge Crisis.
David Galland and Stephen McBride write: “Soros’s agenda is fundamentally about the destruction of national borders. This has recently been shown very clearly with his funding of the European refugee crisis.”
“The refugee crisis has been blamed on the civil war currently raging in Syria. But did you ever wonder how all these people suddenly knew Europe would open its gates and let them in?”
“The refugee crisis is not a naturally occurring phenomenon. It coincided with donated money to the US-based Migration Policy Institute and the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, both Soros-sponsored organizations. Both groups advocate the resettlement of third-world Muslims into Europe.”
“In 2015, a Sky News reporter found ‘Migrant Handbooks’ on the Greek island of Lesbos. It was later revealed that the handbooks, which are written in Arabic, had been given to refugees before crossing the Mediterranean by a group called ‘Welcome to the EU.’ Welcome to the EU is funded by—you guessed it—[George Soros] Open Society Foundations.”
“Soros has not only backed groups that advocate the resettlement of third-world migrants into Europe, he in fact is the architect of the ‘Merkel Plan.’ The Merkel Plan was created by the European Stability Initiative whose chairman Gerald Knaus is a senior fellow at none other than the Open Society Foundations.”
Maybe President Trump should pass on that information to Angela Merkel when she visits the American capital this Friday.
To sum up, one of the world’s richest men, George Soros, messianic billionaire is:
- Forcefully behind the American immigration chaos through crazy ideas about open borders.
- Actively promotes the Islamization and de-stabilization of Europe.
- The biggest private financial backer of the abortion holocaust (1-2 billion dead babies and counting in the 20th and 21 centuries worldwide).
- A driving force behind globalization and a one world government (open borders).
- The main financier of riots, marches, anarchy and secular tyranny in the world’s most important freedom-loving nation (the United States).
Do you know of anyone in the world, who is doing more to encourage evil than George Soros? What should we do about it?
Today, first of all, I’m launching a global call to pray for George Soros (and those around him)–for his salvation and for his removal from the world of evil influence. He may be “big” on earth, but he’s puny before the power and majesty of our prayer-answering God.
Second, I’m asking some of you to “come out” from any of his movements, protests, marches, and promotions of open societies–which is simply a code-name for a one world government.
The infamous dictators of the 20th century–Hitler, Stalin, and Mao–may have led scores of millions of people to their deaths. But George Soros’ influence extends to hundreds of millions or possibly billions (through abortion alone). He may not have ordered the executions, but he helped pay for them.
Let’s pray like a laser for 86 year old George Soros. God loves him and wants to save him.
God, our blessed Savior, wants to “deliver us from evil (Matthew 6:13).”
Resisting American Renewal
A flurry of stories in the news this week highlight the worldview clash taking place in the United States.
President Trump’s Saturday tweets–that his team was wiretapped by the Obama Administration in the run-up to the November election–was the first jaw dropper. Then the new Wikileaks missive exposed more secrets of the CIA. Next, repeal and replace Obamacare ramped up.
Before that we witnessed women’s marches, the Democrats slow-walking appointments on Capitol Hill, and other intelligence turmoil and leaks while a new American Administration tried to get on its feet.
What’s going on in the world’s oldest democracy? It’s plain and simple.
A multi-front war has been launched to resist an American renewal.
The news cascaded this week on so many fronts that it’s almost impossible to detail. Besides, most of them were very confusing, filled with speculation, and laden with weeds.
It might be best to take us up to the 36,000 mile level and look down on what is happening in the 21st century’s lone superpower.
Here’s my view.
First of all, let’s remind ourselves that the USA is a divided nation. An Associated Press/NORC Center poll recently revealed that truth in living Technicolor. Here is their 2017 finding (written by Matt Sedensky).
“Add one more to the list of things dividing left and right in this country: We can’t even agree what it means to be an American. A new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds Republicans are far more likely to cite a culture grounded in Christian beliefs and the traditions of early European immigrants as essential to U.S. identity.”
“Democrats are more apt to point to the country’s history of mixing of people from around the globe and a tradition of offering refuge to the persecuted. While there’s disagreement on what makes up the American identity, 7 in 10 people – regardless of party – say the country is losing that identity.”
So America has an identity problem. Yes, we know that.
The article continues:
“‘It’s such stark divisions,’ said Lynele Jones, a 65-year-old accountant in Boulder, Colorado. Like many Democrats, Jones pointed to diversity and openness to refugees and other immigrants as central components of being American. ‘There’s so much turmoil in the American political situation right now. People’s ideas of what is America’s place in the world are so different from one end of the spectrum to the other,’ Jones said. “
“There are some points of resounding agreement among Democrats, Republicans and independents about what makes up the country’s identity. Among them: a fair judicial system and rule of law, the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution, and the ability to get good jobs and achieve the American dream.”
That’s encouraging, but:
“Reggie Lawrence, a 44-year-old Republican in Midland, Texas, who runs a business servicing oil fields, said the country and the Constitution were shaped by Christian values. As those slip away, he said, so does the structure of families and, ultimately, the country’s identity. ‘If you lose your identity,’ Lawrence said, ‘What are we? We’re not a country anymore.'”
Fair point. Finally,
“The poll found Democrats were nearly three times as likely as Republicans to say that the U.S. should be a country made up of many cultures and values that change as new people arrive, with far more Republicans saying there should be an essential American culture that immigrants adopt.”
“Two questions, also posed during the presidential campaign, offered insight into how Trump’s election may have changed partisans’ views. The poll found about 52 percent of Republicans now regard the U.S. as the single greatest country in the world, up significantly from 35 percent when the question was asked last June.” (The AP-NORC poll of 1,004 adults was conducted Feb. 16-20, 2017).
Let me explain this poll in an historical sense and then define the current attempt to resist any form of American renewal.
American was uniquely founded in the 17th-18th centuries as a Christian based republic–the first country in history to be so birthed. Our charter, the Declaration of Independence, clearly reflected the centrality of God and biblical principles (“life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”). Our Constitution–still the world’s oldest–put those ideas into the construct of law.
- Faith in God – our national motto, inscribed on our coins is “In God We Trust.”
- Family-based morality – strong and moral families led by godly wives and mothers (conclusion of Alexis de Toqueville in his seminal work Democracy in America).
- Freedom in business enterprise and from government tyranny.
Here is the American cultural equation for success: Faith, family, freedom.
When millions of immigrants streamed to our shores for hundreds of years they generally adopted those maxims. They became Americans. God providentially blessed that commitment and catapulted the United States into global leadership and influence.
We call this American exceptionalism. It’s exceptional because it never happened before.
Never.
For those first two hundred years, both political parties shared a common belief in what made America great. Then beginning in the 1960s, many forces began separating the U. S. from its belief in God (Bible and prayer removed from the schools), family life deteriorated (even re-defining marriage), and a growing government bureaucracy encroached on many American freedoms (EPA regulations, Obamacare etc.)
The Democratic Party generally encouraged this move away from biblical foundations to secular ideas. The mainstream liberal media joined the chorus. The election of Barack Obama and his eight years in office allowed secular constructs to reach a zenith–discouraging belief in God, creating alternative families, and taking away economic liberties. President Obama said he wanted to “transform” America.
He did.
- From faith in God to many gods and a powerful Government.
- From strong families to special interest victim groups.
- From freedom to the soft tyranny of the bureaucratic state.
Then along came Donald Trump–a most unlikely champion of original American values. He shared or spoke about many of them. He promised their restoration. He brought many godly men and women around him and promised a true America renewal (Make America Great Again).
Exhibit A: There are more people of faith (evangelicals) in the Trump Cabinet than any other in history. Donald Trump was elected to begin (at least on a governmental level), an American renewal.
So what is happening in the United States right now? As President Trump and his Administration move quickly to re-boot “America,” a vast secular resistance screams and thrashes to stop the U-turn. Many fronts are united in that cause:
1. The Republican Party establishment remains solidly entrenched in the DC bubble and are NOT committed to renewing America’s traditional values and culture.
2. The Democratic Party paralyzes Congress, slow-walks all of Trump’s nominees, and cries “Fire!”about Russian connections and wire-tapping when they are the ones who have strengthened the hands of our adversaries in past years.
3. The former Obama Administration, still embedded as political appointees in the bureaucracy, are leaking documents and creating havoc–like governmental IEDs planted in various agencies. Barack Obama personally stays in the capital city to launch a national community organizing group to preserve his legacy. He is the first former president to actively speak and work against his successor.
4. Mainstream liberal media (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, Washington Post etc.) report 85% negative articles on the Trump presidency in his first 30 days to try and bring him down. Fake news is now the new norm.
5. Democratic billionaires such as George Soros continue to push the open borders agenda and hire naive know-nothings to march and riot in the streets and shout down Republican town halls.
6. Secular university profs and students pummel free speech by protesting and assaulting conservative speakers (Charles Murray in Vermont) and burning buildings (Cal-Berkeley).
7. Witches and Wiccans worldwide pronounce curses on Donald Trump and his people.
8. The real power broker group–the invisible demonic world–laughs and ghoulishly orchestrates the dividing and destroying of America. They know that if America fails, then their casualities will grow.
That’s the Big Picture as I see it.
If you’re a person who loves God, believes in family, and cherishes freedom, you are desperately needed to enlist in this culture war and fight to win.
Cry out in prayer. Grow in knowledge and character. Muster your talents. Do what God shows you to do.
We must righteously defeat the resistance against an American Renewal.
A Common Sense Proposal on Immigration
There are many big issues in our world today, but none cause more protest, unease, and even sway the elections of nations than the issue of immigration (think Trump in the US, Le Pen in France, and Angela Merkel in trouble in Germany).
In the United States, the battle lines on this issue seem set in concrete and have spilled over into chaos at numerous Congressional town hall meetings.
I believe it’s crucial we solve the immigration mess with both compassion and justice.
Here is my common sense proposal.
Before I share the ideas, let’s retrace how the immigration debate has changed in the past few years. To use a football analogy, the goal posts have been moved.
If we go back just one generation, let alone hundreds of years, it’s safe to say that the “goal posts” (fixed principles) on who got into this country were based on two common sense commitments:
1. Compassion for People – as evidenced in the words of the Statue of Liberty and seen in one amazing statistic: that the United States receives more immigrants to its shores than any other nation on earth (a million a year). Americans are a welcoming people. Caring for people is goal post number one.
2. Respect for the Rule of Law – for hundreds of years we welcomed those millions through an orderly system of receiving refugees, granting visitor visas, allowing people to get green cards, and applying for citizenship. We understood that nations have borders, the rule of law must be obeyed, and that justice is a pillar of any free society. Respecting borders and the rule of law is goal post number two.
In the last decade or so, radicals began moving both goal posts. Today, the compassion goal post doesn’t take into account that we are fighting a global war on terror and that some people who want to come to America have no no intention to assimilate, but want to kill Americans. This myopia produces blinded compassion by those opposed to extreme vetting.
More radically, the rule of law goal post has almost been taken off the horizon. There is a substantial movement in America toward open borders–anybody can come into the US if they want to without penalty. This insane policy comes in the form of a clever word change: illegal aliens to undocumented workers.
It’s a slick trick. Now we are fighting over whether criminal illegal aliens should be deported and if immigrants from terrorism-friendly failed states should be strongly vetted–while millions who crossed the border illegally get a pass. Trespassing a border is no longer a crime to the open borders folks.
Yet, simple common sense says that’s a lie.
I don’t know one open border, bleeding liberal, Hollywood celebrity who practices open borders with their own home. If they really believe that people have the right to live where they want, cross any boundary etc., then they should immediately remove all locks from their doors, security systems from their yards, and walls around their properties. We should demand they put a sign in their yard that says “All undocumented workers can use my house!”
Otherwise, they’re hypocrites.
That’s the insanity of the position. No one in their right mind would treat their family that way no matter how compassionate they are. Resources are limited in our homes and some people are dangerous. Why should we then allow the “American family” (nation) to be treated similarly?
Both nations and families need privacy and security.
The common sense goal posts of compassion and rule of law have been moved out of sight. On this vast field, with no sense of order, a potential civil war lies in front of us that could tear apart the American fabric unless we return to wise compassion and necessary rule of law.
Here’s my proposal, beginning with six governmental actions. Governments are ordained by God to execute justice and protect their people. Then there are four individual or private group applications. It’s in the individual domain that we are primarily called to show mercy to our fellow humans.
Both justice and mercy must be a part of our immigration solution because they are attributes of God.
JUSTICE – which applies primarily to the government.
1. Secure the border just as we lock our homes.
Praise God that President Trump, of all the presidents of the past thirty years, understands that you can’t have a nation without borders. Borders are a preserver of order, values, security and the uniqueness of societies. In fact, the Bible indicates that God Himself is involved providentially with the borders that make up nations (Acts 17:26).
Open borders is a satanic idea meant only to garner votes and create conflict in sovereign nation-states. They don’t work in a fallen world. We should move full speed ahead with building the wall and incorporating technology that will keep us safe. Nations should “protect their house” and their laws be respected. The sieve must be stopped.
2. Deport all criminal illegal aliens.
There should be no argument here. Those who commit crimes in this nation must be sent back to their country of origin. When you don’t obey the rules of the “home,” you get kicked out–with the exception of the crime of crossing the border (which I will mention later).
3. Extremely vet for extreme times.
It’s totally appropriate to call a “time-out” to figure out the best way to vet people from chaotic states. Terrorists want to come here and carry out jihad. We can’t stop them all–but many. This is not a Muslim ban, it’s just being smarter with cultures who believe killing others in the name of their god is okay.
4. Nationally implement E-Verify to stop business and individual cheating.
Make sure all workers in the US have permission to be here by expanding and nationalizing the E-Verify system. This will stop businesses from wrongly hiring illegals for cheap labor and illegals from breaking the rules with impunity.
5. Punish visa abusers with a ten-year ban from the United States.
Visa overstays contribute to a large portion of the illegal population. The penalty should be strong and swift. You take advantage of the privilege of coming here, then you lose that privilege for the next decade. That would put the fear of God into many a complacent student or visitor.
6. Change/clarify the foreign-baby law.
We need to stop the flood of Chinese tourists who have babies in San Francisco while on vacation and then claim citizenship for their child based on a loophole. Congress needs to clarify the law that “visitor babies” are no more American than calves born in a garage are cars.
COMPASSION – which emanate primarily from the attitudes of the people.
7. Re-commit to being the world’s leading champion of immigrants and refugees.
Let’s continue to lead the world in loving and caring for people. It just needs to be done legally and in an orderly fashion in our neighborhoods and states. That’s God’s heart and way.
8. Whole-heartedly accept Dreamers as US citizens (DACA).
Both presidents Obama and Trump are right that the children of illegal aliens should not be sent back to the country of their parents. Children are not responsible for the sins of mom and dad–clearly a biblical and common sense idea (Ezekiel 18:20 and Deuteronomy 24:16). It wasn’t their fault that they were brought here.
9. Give long-term illegal aliens permanent residence but no voting rights.
This is the fairest way to solve the dilemma of eleven million or more illegals aliens now currently in the United States. Amnesty spanks of injustice and deporting them remains unmerciful and disruptive. Let them pay a fine based on their years of illegality and take away the right to vote for twenty years.
This is neither amnesty nor cruelty. It is common sense mercy. The penalty for entering the country illegally should be forfeiture of voting rights for some time. Then they can apply for citizenship.
10. Declare a Day of Reconciliation & Renewal (R&R)
When the other major actions have been completed, the president should declare a national day of R&R–of Reconciliation and Renewal. On that day, all Americans should be encouraged to gather in their churches, city halls, businesses and homes to ask God’s forgiveness for the immigration nightmare we created, forgive and and seek reconciliation with one another, and proclaim the rebirth of freedom in the United States as a sovereign, just, and merciful nation.
This could be America’s Day of Jubilee (maybe a new national holiday).
Hallelujah.
