I think the day is right around the corner when I fear someone like Cruz could be Litvinenko’d.
*Looking up Litvineko*
Okay he's the Russian Oligarch who was poisoned by FSB in England.
Yes and I would add the Ukrainian pol Yushchenko too.
Have to admit I've occasionally had thoughts along those same lines.
As an example, I read an article that said he likes to ski with his family. The first thought I had was-"I hope he doesn't go off skiing by himself".
(This came from some accounts and posts here on Fr about the late Sonny Bono's death. He was another GOP rising star. He hit a tree while skiing by himself, and there were some unusual aspects in the story-things that didn't make sense. Some speculated that it wasn't an accident that killed him. I'll leave it at that.)
Anyway we know for sure that there are powerful people in both parties that ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT HIM TO RUN. This is the same crowd who viciously went after Sarah Palin and her entire family, including her children, and in fact are still attacking them, to this very day. This is what Ted Cruz has to look forward to .
(Then again, he is friends with Sarah and family , so I'm sure they've had many conversations about the feces storm that is headed his way if he decides to run.)
I think that he (Cruz) is by far the best candidate to get this country turned around, if it is to be saved. But, I also think it is going to to take divine intervention, and protection from the Lord above, to get him there.
I would ask everyone who likes him, to keep he and his family in your prayers. They are going to need them.
This “day” you mention has been here from the beginning.
Every good leader is always targeted by the cowards and the weaklings lurking in the shadows.
It doesn’t stop the really good ones.
