The left here in America’s wet dream. Tear it down and rebuild it into another failed Communist state. Yup. That is EXACTLY what we need to try. This current job making, money making, life making, American system needs to go. We need 75% unemployment, only government jobs and everyone else on government welfare so they can control every aspect of your life. Enjoy the Antichrist you fools. I will be up in the third Heaven with my LORD while you stupid commie dead brains live under the Antichrist. Coming to a planet near you soon!!!

"The United Nations has placed strict gender quotas on a British Army peacekeeping deployment to Mali in west Africa, demanding more females are sent under the auspices of a special bureaucratic directive... The call for more female UK soldiers to be included is part of a wider set of directives drafted by the U.N. that mandates strict quotas for female personnel in the name of equal opportunity." The UN is forcing the issue of more women in the British army to fight African jihadis under the disguise of gender equality. The mission has been described as "the most dangerous mission for British forces since Afghanistan." What is the UN really up to, particularly given its alliance with the Organization Islamic Cooperation, which aims to subvert the Houses of War (infidel countries)?

Six West African countries have jointly criticized the changes of the regional CFA Franc currency to Eco, saying its not in line with what was agreed for the adoption of a single regional currency. These countries include: Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone and they said in a statement issued after talks in the Nigerian capital Abuja that he move "is not in line" with plans by the regional bloc ECOWAS to adopt a single currency also called the Eco This rebuke came after a major announcement that sought to turn the page on CFA franc perceived colonial-era connection Today, eight countries use the West African CFA franc -- Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo, which are former French colonies, as well as Guinea-Bissau, a former Portuguese colony. The December 21 announcement by Ivory Coast President Allisan Outtara and French President Emmanuel Macron applies only to the CFA franc that is used in West Africa but then, note should be taken that A parallel CFA franc is used by six other countries in central Africa. Its future, too, also faces questions as a result of this announcement in Abidjan.
