CIA a Charity Org? - Then What does that Make the UNRWA?Reader comment on item: Thoughts on the Syrian Downing of a Turkish Warplane Submitted by M. Tovey (United States), Jul 25, 2012 at 19:17 Well, let's try this again. Conspiracies come in two principle forms: ghost stories and abject realities that mostly result in terrorist activities, whether domestic or for foreign consumption. Neither produces moral results. That the CIA operates in both realms is legend and was the proximal cause of former President Carter's decision to limit its role in American international activities. Due to that in one instance, Iran was able to change its national colors without America getting a heads up prior. As for the United States 'military' presence around the world, I would assume you have the same access that I do to the information of the budgetary considerations that are going into effect that will dramatically reduce much of those spheres of influence-it may not seem like that for the moment, but it is approaching critical mass. China is being considered America's watch and wait theater and shifts in strategic posturing are being reported all over the world. As for the decimation of churches, it is surmised that your skepticism of Christianity as a whole colors your perception of how and why this is happening. That the true disciples of the Christian faith are under global attack is nothing new, the circumstances are increasing just as the Holy Bible said they would. Every true believer understands that and knows why it is happening. If you think it is bad now, then you might not be prepared for when it gets dramatically worse, exactly as the Holy Bible has predicted. It is also Biblical that government are raised and leveled according to the predetermination of Almighty God; the good ones as well as the not so tolerant to the things of His righteousness. In America, the formation of the United States upon its original Constitution was predicated upon its people continuing to nationally honor the work of the LORD and losing sight of that will bring judgment, as we see that it already has. Persecution of churches in any environment, whether in Đakovica or Pristina, Cairo or Damacus, or wherever, is a condition that is amply described by the LORD our Savior and are emblems of proof of His WORD. In them completion of the prophecies are found and are preparations of the completion of the ones yet to be fulfilled, like the ones about the Russian invasion of the Middle East. You make assertions about the United States being involved and I will mention this: while Russia is named by region in its ancient name in the Holy Bible, there is no conclusive evidence that the United States has as much of a notice, and in reality, does not have enough of a mention to even figure in any attack or defense, if any at all. You may draw your next assumptions from that observation. Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
