I'm always looking for sources of reliable and factual history and, I'm thankful to you for the knowledge you have.

I made a trip to Costco yesterday and noticed they had a number of new books on specific histories dating back thousands of years. I know for a fact that many nations are now re-writing history to erase almost all truth were Islam is concerned. That of course, means deleting and distorting a lot of Christain history.

I had prepared myself for what Costco's new books on "history" might contain. Among other things, I noticed they were output from Great Britain which has now acceded to Muslim demands that all mention of the holocaust be erased from textbooks in all educational institutions. I also, noticed they were printed in Dubai. I scanned the books for content and noticed a lot of favoable things said about Islam and its prophets. Nothing whatsoever of Mohammed's real exploits in his part of the world. That, of course, extended to all Islamic history with only a brief menton of the Crusades eventual victory. Much was said and laid out about Muslim victories.

I live in a conservative outpost in Washington State. I was blown away a few months ago when one of our local TV stations presented a commentary on the Islamic thrust up from Africa and through Spain. It was portrayed as this kinda gruff looking Muslims going through the lineup of Christains and Jews who were packed up to leave. Nothing bad or ad at all. That was the extent of the Islamic intrusion theough that part of Europe.

On the other side of the coin, was the horrific reconquest by Christain and other forces with graphic pictures of those forces slaughtering mindlessly through Muslim populations of "peaceful Muslim citizens" of "their" conquered land. I couldn't believe the conquest of my own nation's educational institutions that a lie so atrocious could be put on public TV in my community (suposedly a last outpost of conservatism in my strongly liberal state).

It was stunning to hear supposedly educated commentators blithely spewing out the biggest line of distorted history I had ever seen in my part of the state let alone the nation. I knew CAIR was making methodical advancements here in the U.S. but most people in my neck of the woods think it is mostly in the Eastern and Southern U.S. What a wake-up call.

I'm very aware of our God's insistence that we pray for our leaders whoever they. They all serve the purpose for which he has managed to set them over for whatever population. I do pray for Obama while preparing myself for what is coming. I keep up to date through real channels of news. Hillary as Secretary of State. Oh, man, it's going to be bad all around. I'm prepared for the End Times mentally and know we are very close. Things are going to change quickly in a lot of areas. Obama is already back pedaling on a lot of campaign promises and it's still November. I don't know if it is a feint to draw people off or, if he's just floundering. Either way, I pray and prepare for watever God has for this badly aseep and off course population. The U.S.has been asleep for a long time and badly off track from God's agendas.
