Daniel is right about Trump, sort of... and we're in deep doo-doo, either way

Carlos,

I MAY vote for Trump; but I cannot get excited about the choices facing us:

1. On the one hand, Hillary Clinton is the darling (and recipient of massive financial support) of both our Islamic enemies and frienemies, and also the super-rich bankers and globalists who are leading the world into a Ponzi-scheme-like collapse. She is a Narcissist, an inveterate liar and an intellectual fool.

2. In the other corner, in ginger trunks, is Donald Trump, who actually represents the mass of Americans in a frightening way. He is a Narcissist, and a media idol: not a complete ignoramus, but having a track record of speaking first, then checking facts later.

Whoever gets elected, our country and the world are in great danger in the coming decade. If you haven't been a praying man up until now, this would be a good time to start.

I mentioned elsewhere, the rumors that Russia has been preparing for nuclear war, building bunkers for that purpose near Moscow -- as the US, meanwhile, I will note, is busy placing anti-missile batteries right in Russia's front yard. I have also noted, that China has declared itself the "leader" of the non-Western world, with Russia among the "led". In more recent news, China showcased, at the time of the G-20 summit, anti-satellite and missile defense capabilities that threaten us and our allies, saying, to the effect, that,

"Nuclear war is not a question of 'if', but of 'when'"

The Chinese, Russians and Americans, are therefore viewing nuclear war as INEVITABLE; as, indeed, the Bible also tells us:

Zechariah 14:
[12] And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

I have calculated that this may happen as soon as 2027 or 2028 -- 11-12 years from now. Neither Trump nor Clinton will be President then; but someone horrible (and perhaps popular) likely will be.
