Behold, a Pale Horse and its Rider’s Name Was Death
Paul Craig Roberts ^ | 05 August 2016 | Paul Craig Roberts

Posted on 08/07/2016 10:29:15 AM PDT by Lorianne

I just listened to Obama give Washington’s account of the situation with ISIL in Iraq and Syria.

In Obama’s account, Washington is defeating ISIL in Iraq, but Russia and Assad are defeating the Syrian people in Syria. Obama denounced Russia and the Syrian government—but not ISIL—as barbaric. The message was clear: Washington still intends to overthrow Assad and turn Syria into another Libya and another Iraq, formerly stable and prosperous countries where war now rages continually.

It sickens me to hear the President of the United States lie and construct a false reality, so I turned off the broadcast. I believe it was a press conference, and I am confident that no meaningful questions were asked.

Regarding the title. A global famine, sickness and death will sweep across the world and those who have not seen hunger, illness or sadness will weep. This has been foretold in the Bible. It will happen.

Rider’s Name Was Death

A very interesting choice... Revelation 6

The First Seal: Rider on a White Horse

1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

The Second Seal: War

3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

The Third Seal: Famine

5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

The Fourth Seal: Death

7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

The Fifth Seal: Martyrs

9And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

The Sixth Seal: Terror

12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

King James Bible

Overthrowing Quaddafy and Assad are what has triggered the migration of muslims to Europe.

It’s either monumentally stupid policy or it is insidiously evil.

Qadaffi warned them, but they didn’t listen.

Yes, he did.
Both countries were better off before we started deciding for them that they weren’t.

The Big Lie. I’m guessing that HRC really believed in Obama’s policy of regime change to get rid of dictators in Egypt, Libya, Syria. I’ve read many of her emails on Wikileaks, many. She seemed a sincere believer in this strategy. Obama, on the other hand, or his co-President, is sympatico with what he calls isil. HRC in this case was a useful idiot. If she is elected, she won’t be as bad as him, bad, just not as bad.

Stupid would explain it if his policies weren’t so strikingly consistent in their support of Islamist against the West in general and the United States in particular. The pattern shows intent.
