How Global Elites Forsake Their Countrymen
The Patriot Post ^ | 8/13/2016 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 08/15/2016 5:08:04 AM PDT by EliRoom8

Those in power see people at the bottom as aliens whose bizarre emotions they must try to manage. ############# This is about distance, and detachment, and a kind of historic decoupling between the top and the bottom in the West that did not, in more moderate recent times, exist.

Recently I spoke with an acquaintance of Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, and the conversation quickly turned, as conversations about Ms. Merkel now always do, to her decisions on immigration. Last summer when Europe was engulfed with increasing waves of migrants and refugees from Muslim countries, Ms. Merkel, moving unilaterally, announced that Germany would take in an astounding 800,000. Naturally this was taken as an invitation, and more than a million came.

I know, I know. It's Peggy Noonan. Even still, it's a great analysis. So I'm throwing kudos her way for speaking the truth before her NeverTrump friends and seeing this as a CULTURAL struggle.

-—“xenophobic,” “narrow-minded,” “racist.”——

All are ok in the tumultuous world today. It is necessary to discriminate to survive, to live

Everyone needs to keep this in mind: the goal of "Globalism" is the goal of Satan, who through his dupe the Antichrist he will enslave the nations. There will be one world religion, currency, and government. The book of Revelation has said so.

Those who are for Globalism are servants of Lucifer, whether they realize it or not.

To those who have not accepted Christ, now would be the time.

It should be. She's using introspection.

Noonan’s article is spot-on.

The world’s “elites” deserve to be hanging from lamp posts.

It has been going on since the middle 60’s. The big divide occurred about the Kennedy assassination, as Rush, says.

Progressivism has always held that the “elites” should make decisions for the non-elites. It is a small step not to care much about them.

So much for the “common good”.

“So much for the “common good”.”

The “common good” is a euphemism for totalitarianism. There is no “common good.” Liberty, and thus civil society, lives in the hearts of a free and moral people. Once morality and individual freedom are exchanged for comfort and expediency, the tyranny of the “elites” fill the vacuum in the name of “the common good.”

Somehow or other this truism must be pounded into the heads of the clueless before it’s too late. Or is it already too late? The result of the 2012 election was a strong indication that it is, and that will certainly be confirmed if the Beast is elected this November.

I know that Islam is the religion of Satan.

But have we already seen the anti-Christ?

It is all about preserving 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws and borders.
The citizens will not be allowed to keep the rule of law or their country.

...recent Syrian refugees being resettled in Virginia, were sent to the state’s poorest communities. Data from the State Department showed that almost all Virginia’s refugees since October “have been placed in towns with lower incomes and higher poverty rates, hours away from the wealthy suburbs outside of Washington, D.C.” Of 121 refugees, 112 were placed in communities at least 100 miles from the nation’s capital. The suburban counties of Fairfax, Loudoun and Arlington — among the wealthiest in the nation, and home to high concentrations of those who create, and populate, government and the media — have received only nine refugees.

Our corrupt 'elites' will stop any person 'of the people' in the future. We have one shot at stopping the upcoming horrors - and that's electing Donald Trump. He knows what we're dealing with - he knows what the so-called 'elites' really are...he might be able to stop them...

Globalist elites are nothing more than warmed over Nazis.

No, I dint think so. I am in the camp that believes the Scriptures say the Antichrist won’t be fully revealed until the church is taken out in the Rapture. However, it may also mean that the Antichrist is on the world stage before that, but does not assume his full Satanic role until later.
