We Are All Flying on the Germanwings Plane
The Lisbon Reporter ^ | April 2, 2015 | Unknown

Posted on 04/05/2015 6:10:34 PM PDT by JeepersFreepers

The pilot was locked out of the cockpit.

That phrase finally revealed the full horror of the crash of Germanwings flight 9525. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz waited for the pilot to leave the cockpit, then locked the door to prevent his re-entry. After which Lubitz, for reasons unknown and perhaps unknowable, deliberately steered the jet into a harrowing 8-minute plunge ending in an explosive 434 mph impact with a rocky mountainside. One hundred fifty men, women and children met an immediate, unthinkably violent death.

Lubitz, in his single-minded madness, couldn't be stopped because anyone who could change the jet's disastrous course was locked out.

It's hard to imagine the growing feelings of fear and helplessness that the passengers felt as the unforgiving landscape rushed up to meet them.

Hard ... but not impossible.

Because America is in trouble. We feel the descent in the pits of our stomachs. We hear the shake and rattle of structures stressed beyond their limits. We don't know where we're going anymore, but do know it isn't good. And above all, we feel helpless because Barack Obama has locked us out.

He locked the American people out of his decision to seize the national healthcare system. Locked us out when we wanted to know why the IRS was attacking conservatives. He locked us out of having a say in his decision to tear up our immigration laws, and to give over a trillion dollars in benefits to those who broke those laws.

Obama locked out those who advised against premature troop withdrawals. Locked out the intelligence agencies who issued warnings about the growing threat of ISIS. He locked out anyone who could have interfered with his release of five Taliban terror chiefs in return for one U.S. military deserter.

And, of course, Barack Obama has now locked out Congress, the American people, and our allies as he strikes a secret deal with Iran to determine the timeline (not prevention) of their acquisition of nuclear weapons.

Was Andreas Lubitz depressed, insane, or abysmally evil when he decided to lock that cockpit door and listen to no voices other than those in his head? Did he somehow believe himself to be doing the right thing?

The voice recordings from the doomed aircraft reveal that as the jet began its rapid descent, the passengers were quiet. There was probably some nervous laughter, confusion, a bit of comforting chatter with seatmates, followed by a brief period in which anxiety had not yet metastasized into terror.

It was only near the end of the 8-minute plunge that everyone finally understood what was really happening. Only near the end when they began to scream.

Like those passengers, a growing number of Americans feel a helpless dread as they come to the inescapable conclusion that our nation's decline is an act of choice rather than of chance. The choice of one man who is in full control of our 8-year plunge.

A man who has locked everyone out.

Like the Germanwings co-pilot, Obama has locked the American people out as he steers America on a disastrous course.

Obama locked us out, but none of the failures are his fault.

Obama’s just the pilot. Who runs the airline?

 ”It was only near the end of the 8-minute plunge that everyone finally understood what was really happening. Only near the end when they began to scream.”

They knew early on . The screams began soon after the captain found the door locked.

Except Congress can seize control of the plane any time it wishes...but since doing so would get them called “mean-spirited” or “racist” by the MSM they have decided to let Obama go ahead and crash the plane in the bizarre hope that he will be discredited, so one of their guys can win command of the next flight.

I can’t believe the jackasses riding on the plane with us moved Barry Soetoro’s “approval” numbers to 50% once da Kenyan boy decided to give the Iranian Islamofacists the nukes to drop on Israel and the U.S. I wonder what the average I.Q. is in this country since Barry imported all the little “unaccompanied” molestees from Mexico and Central America for his sexual deviant pals.

YOU ARE absolutely correct. Who does Obama answer to. Who tells him to jump, and he says “how high?” THAT IS the question that needs answering, and appropriate action.

Senator Reid must not have “jumped” when told to.

Could be the same boys that are giving ole Barry his orders are giving Harry his.

Maybe their will be a replay coming soon...............

Obama is the one who needs to be locked out of our cockpit, before he plunges the plane. He has been locked out of the cockpit of Egypt after trying to break in with the Muslim brotherhood. Locked out of Libya when his ambassador was killed. Just recently tried to bash his way into the Israeli cockpit, but was denied entry and is now locked out of Israel. The Sunni Arabs have formed a Coalition and are locking Obama out of their cockpit. Now if we can only kick him out of the US cockpit before the crash landing occurs.

Psalm 22:28
For the kingdom is the Lord’s And He rules over the nations.

Psalm 46:10
“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Psalm 47:8
God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne.

Psalm 59:5
You, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity. Selah.

Psalm 79:6
Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You, And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.

God is mad. He is mad at many nations because there is one thing the nations legalize that He has abhorred and it would never enter His mind. Child sacrifice. He does not forgive the nations for this.

From March 30:

And, before that, from March 26:

We are currently obsessed with aircraft disasters because its merely a metaphor for a bigger disaster. Kind of Freudian, I guess... We have someone leading the Ship of State into the ground, purposely wrecking the Republic, while appearing to upwards of half the population of anything but that. What are the rest of us to do while the plane goes into the ground? Well, obsess over aircraft disasters.

Over Soon,
perhaps.

The destruction will be lamented by Freemen for the remainder of History.

I blame Congress more than Obama.

Congress alone has not only the power but the duty to save our nation.

But somehow they believe they are not on the same plane (literally and figuratively) as the rest of us, and will be safe. Being concerned only for self and not for our nation, they do nothing.

Too late they will realize that they also are on the same flight - and that being in First Class will not save them.

George Bush actually locked the cockpit door. Obongo is trying to break in. Don’t you read the papers?
