A Historic Vote in Parliament

An ace, solid and succinct summary upon essential points from over ‘the Pond’. Thank you NEO.

And so, tomorrow UK time, Parliament will vote on May’s Withdrawal Agreement, which isn’t. It’s an amazing document, given that its existence is premised on the authority of a passed referendum that asked,  “Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?”

That is very clear and unambiguous, remarkably so, in fact. And so were the results, 51.9% of the electorate (in the largest UK turnout ever) said: “Leave”.

But the British swamp (pretty much the same players as the American swamp, but with a British accent) disagreed with the people. Loudly, coarsely, contemptuously, and disgracefully they disagree. It hasn’t been edifying watching as they attempted to spin, lie and otherwise weasel out of what the sovereign people said. This attempt is the keystone of May’s Prime Ministership, to undermine the will of the people. It’s a hell of a mess, perhaps worse than…

Is tonight’s vote ‘checkmate’ for PM May? British MEP likens EU to Tower of Babel

Posted on by

You may recall the ‘chess-pieces’ vision of Theresa May and Brexit in which Veronika West encouraged ‘ALL who are praying and warring for the Nation in this hour that in spite of the chaos, confusion and frustration, God has not changed His mind on Brexit, He is shaking and He is shifting and He is turning and redirecting our nation. He will bring to perfect completion that which He began on June 23, 2016 in our nation…!’

Therefore, we thank and praise you Lord for what You are doing in our nation, and I thank all intercessors for your dedication to Him and our nation and fellow citizens.

Whilst watching the news on 11th December Veronika saw Theresa May momentarily locked in the back of a car upon arriving for talks with Angela Merkel in Germany.  Then Veronika heard these words: “FEAR NOT! FOR THERESA MAY IS LOCKED IN PLACE FOR JUST A LITTLE LONGER AND THEN SHE SHALL BE REMOVED BY MY HAND”

In view of proposals on 12th December for a ‘No Confidence Vote’ on the PM, Veronika writes that she was ‘a little taken aback as the Word I heard yesterday was very clear and very precise…so prophetically could that be for a day or could it be that indeed she will remain in place for A LITTLE LONGER UNTIL THE GREAT CHESSMASTER HAS PERFECTLY ALIGNED ALL HIS PIECES ON THE BOARD OF OUR NATION AND THEN WE WILL HEAR HIM CALL “CHECKMATE”?’

And now on Saturday she notes and quotes, ‘A POWERFUL CONFIRMATION OF HOW GOD IS SPEAKING AND MOVING CONCERNING BREXIT; EXACTLY A MONTH AGO TODAY,’ :

The broadsheet version of the above appears in The Sunday Telegraph, and another columnist – 20 years a Conservative Member of the European Parliament for South East England – pens penetrating personal insights that The EU offers its members a terrible choice – integration of democracy – it is a ‘must read’!

BRITISH MEP LIKENS EU TO THE TOWER OF BABEL

Without any forethought or realisation upon my part until now, Daniel Hannan happens to feature in two consecutive posts. In blogging on 22 biblically-related news headlines in one week I got nudged to close with a link to Europe and Two Daniels, in which I emailed on 25 June 2009:

‘At least one of our MEPs, Daniel Hannan, may be near the truth of these EU matters..”British voters must be denied their general election so Eurocrats can have their Treaty…lack of democracy in Brussels…has spilt over into its constituent nations. In order to make an undemocratic system work, they too must become less democratic…” (emphases mine) Is this why we have an unelected PM (Gordon Brown) and unelected Deputy PM, who wants to abandon Sterling for the Euro?? Dangerous days…watch out…’

Doubtless the Lord is now drawing our attention to this particular matter to emphasis its import!  Daniel begins his latest,

‘The EU is not only undemocratic in itself; it also degrades the internal democracy of its constituent nations.

‘Everyone knows that the EU is run by unelected officials. What is far less widely appreciated is the way that, in order to sustain a fundamentally oligarchic project, the member states are obliged repeatedly to distort their domestic constitutional arrangements. 

‘Consider what happened in the House of Commons on Wednesday. Ignoring the advice of parliamentary officials, the Speaker, John Bercow, intervened to declare admissible a Europhile amendment that was plainly inadmissible under the rules. Challenged about his partisanship, he didn’t really deny it. Instead, with a hint of a smirk, he declared that obeying precedent would mean that nothing ever changed. He was, in other words, rubbing MPs’ noses in the fact that there was nothing they could do about his bias…’

In the middle of this splendid piece of quality journalism, this Member of the European Parliament explains his insights into the demonic nature of the European Union, which will come as absolutely no surprise to those of my readers familiar with the content of this blog’s staunch anti-EU stance, summarised in main menu hubs Brexit vs EU and Brexit Prophecies. So it’s fascinating to read Daniel Hannan’s insight:

‘The readiness of democratic nations to twist themselves into unnatural postures in order to meet the requirements of EU membership is an awesome, even frightening, phenomenon. I think of it as the EU’s “Hideous Strength” – the name of CS Lewis’s 1945 adult novel about a literally diabolical plot to conquer Britain through an apparently benign bureaucracy. (Lewis had borrowed the title from a 16th-century Scottish poem about the Tower of Babel, which makes it especially apt, given the overweening ambitions of the multilingual EU.)’ (Note: illustration at Flag ‘A’ in UK/EU in/out #2 Significant Spiritual Signs.)

‘Again and again, I have watched domestic politicians sacrifice their positions, split their parties and betray their voters in order to advance deeper integration. In Ireland, for example…Perhaps the most extreme manifestation of the EU’s Hideous Strength was in 2011, when Brussels orchestrated civilian coups in Italy and Greece, removing the elected national leaders and replacing them with Eurocrats…

‘Perhaps you imagine that such things couldn’t happen in Britain. We, after all, are not a fragile democracy whose politicians wear sunglasses. Think again. Margaret Thatcher was ousted in 1990 for much the same reason as Silvio Berlusconi in 2011, namely that she opposed the euro…

‘The Establishment is still at it. Following the 2016 referendum, those who had supported the losing side were showered with honours and knighthoods. The winners, meanwhile, have been subjected to low-level state persecution. I don’t use the word “persecution” lightly. Donors to Vote Leave were suddenly told in late 2017 that their contributions counted as gifts, not political donations… Nor did it stop there. As well as investigating their referendum donations, officials began demanding full audits of the personal and business tax records of Leave donors, going back several years…

‘Americans sometimes talk of the “deep state”, meaning the permanent officials who wield real power, regardless of who has been elected. But what we are seeing here is harassment by the “shallow state”…’

He concludes, ‘ We may be about to see its most terrifying manifestation yet. Our MPs, whichever side they were on in the referendum, must be aware of the consequences of overturning the vote. People would be convinced that politicians really are a class apart, that votes count for nothing and that democracy is a sham. The world’s oldest and most successful parliamentary system would be delegitimised. The MPs who had trooped through the lobby to cancel Article 50 would be deposed at the subsequent election. And yet, incredibly, they might still do it. Marvel at the EU’s Hideous Strength.’

Laying the axe to the EU’s roots in Britain & Eire

I’m grateful to the Lord and Geoff Pick at UKPW for confirmation received this morning of the detail on roots quoted in the previous post; also and especially for confirming a dream (Ireland v Germany) and my musing (here) upon Eire joining Britain:

CUTTING THE EU ROOTS AWAY – BRITAIN AND IRELAND

At 4am on Sunday morning, 9 December 2018, I was praying for the UK, and asked what to pray. Brexit came to mind.

Over time after moving to the UK in 2017, I have come to the conclusion that the UK MUST leave the EU because God has ordained it, and we would be wise to do it so that God can make us (the UK) the nation He has spoken that we are to be. I prayed for the UK, the heart of the UK, and the heart/hearts of its citizens and residents, which are, after all, the heart of the UK.

I then saw a vision in which an axe was chopping away at roots, many roots, that were growing out from the continent, the EU, across the English Channel, and which were growing into the UK and wrapping around the main root, the tap root, of a large oak tree that represented the UK — oaks of righteousness came to mind; so the righteousness of the UK.

These EU roots were wrapping around the tap root and drawing from it nourishment and life, with the result being the oak being strangled, choked out, and stopping the tap root from growing deeper into good soil for nourishment. (The parable of the sower and seed came to mind.)

While draining the UK Oak of Righteousness of its nourishment, all the EU roots gave back were darkness, unrighteousness and ultimately death. [Side-note — forest trees actually do this supplying and receiving of nourishment in the natural world, interestingly.]

So, the axe continued chopping these EU roots away from the UK all along the English Channel from south to north, around Scotland, Northern Ireland, back to the southern tip of England, making a full circle to completely sever all the strangling EU roots. (See Luke 3:9 where John the Baptist says, “Even now the axe is laid to the root of trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” He had been preaching repentance, and was speaking to the religious leaders of Israel.)

This cutting away of the EU roots from the UK seems to be not only salvation for the UK, but also at the same time, judgment on the EU, for it would no longer draw nourishment from the UK, which was being turned to support the life of darkness.

Then, I saw something that surprised me — the axe was cutting these EU roots away from all of Ireland, not only Northern Ireland, but also the whole island – Northern Ireland AND the Republic of Ireland! As I saw this, I asked if this meant that the Republic of Ireland would be severed from the EU, and what I heard was, “Yes. Not one of these isles will be controlled by the EU.”

Then, the oak tree wasn’t before me anymore, but now an olive tree that spread its branches far and wide, bringing the good news, the true gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom to the extremities of the world unhindered by darkness. And the oil of the olive tree speaks to me of the oil of the Holy Spirit being spread throughout the world as an essential part of the gospel message.

I also saw unfruitful branches of this olive tree cut off and burned in fire, and these were the unfruitful branches of Government, Business, the Church, Education, the Media, Arts & Entertainment and Family. And those branches that were bearing some good fruit were pruned to bring forth more good fruit.

And with that, the vision ended.

The sense I have gotten from this is that with all the choppings, releasings, and prunings going on there will be seismic shakings and changes coming in the spiritual realm as one kingdom, the kingdom of darkness, is deposed and the Everlasting Kingdom of God reigns again; and this will cause much seismic shaking in the natural realm — sudden, drastic, remarkable changes in society at all levels of society. There will be turmoil, as there is in any war, but the Victorious Kingdom of our Lord Jesus, The Anointed One of God, will bring such a stability and peace that cannot and will not be broken — to all people, believers or not, in some measure, but to those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High, a most full experience of the Kingdom of the Almighty!

I offer this to you all for your consideration and testing.

Footnote – also this morning seen on Change Britain: The Irish government, the EU and the UK government have between them made absolutely clear that there won’t be a hard border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, even if there’s no deal.

1 year ago today: is prophetic word on Prime Minister May about to be fulfilled?

Posted on by
1

A personal thankyou to readers who dipped into my post published a year ago today in  A Prophetic Word re. Prime Minister May and Brexit, thereby drawing my curiosity to its content. So let’s revisit and review its accuracy.

That blog republished UK Prophetic Words’ posting of what Ruth Grigg had received on 8th December 2017, to which I’ve added emphases in view of events a year later:

Word Regarding Theresa May and Brexit

‘As I was praying for our government, the Lord began to speak to me. What the Lord showed me was that Mrs May will step down from leadership as soon as she manages to secure a deal and it is signed. (This is the reason she was appointed by God, to secure a Brexit deal). I sense the outcome and its follow-up and implications will be handed over to other government ministers. I sense she will step down because of all the pressure, stress and strain that she has been under; however, she will still be in a governmental position, doing good for the nation.

‘I asked the Lord who would come into power next – what government? He said that it would be another joint government leadership, but that it would be balanced (ie. no need to worry). I just sense we need to pray for her more, and that whatever happens next will be a Godly move. We need Him to be governing and ruling in our nation. We need the next leader and government to be by His hand and not purely by man’s, so that our nation is led by Him.’

My post continues with observations on Mrs May made by James Kirkup, Director of the Social Market Foundation and former executive political editor of The Telegraph, on the same day Ruth wrote as above.  James notes, “Anyone paying close attention to the election result or Mrs May’s words since would have picked up her signals about her real intentions” (see The lady’s not of turning…so is this the package May planned to deliver all along?)

He readily admits “I haven’t always been the PM’s biggest fan” and his historical recap of her tribulations of 2017 continued to mushroom, as iterated in his update of 4 weeks ago. And since then the self-inflicted issues have gone exponential – including a third humiliation – leading to over 100 members of her own party rejecting her ‘one and only deal’ with EU!

Yet is the Lord’s hand in this?

It’s been a week of unprecedented governmental and parliamentary turmoil, divisions and international incredulity, as in this part of what Chris Wickland foretold recently:

“This country is going to humbled, and unfortunately the institutions which hold this country up are now going to have to topple. The things that this country feels that it has sure foundations I am now going to take away…

“And I speak now to the Government. They have heard the voice of the prophets. They have heard the prayers of the saints that have gone up for this land. They know the petitions of my people, and they have ignored them. And I tell you now, you will not ignore the voice of My prophets in this land anymore. You will now come to a time of humility, and you will be humbled.”

What Mrs May presents is a deal equivalent to ‘terms of surrender’, as implied by the president of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker’s adamant “no room for re-negotiation whatsoever”. According to him, the Withdrawal Agreement the PM wanted our Parliament to vote upon was “the only deal possible”!

Likewise with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The news of Mrs May having met her today reports an official as saying that, in her view, “there is no possibility to amend the agreed exit agreement between the EU and the UK”.

Therefore, as Mrs May has secured a deal with the EU will she step down now, or will she remain until it gets signed?

Furthermore, let’s not overlook what Emma Stark at Glasgow Prophetic Centre heard the Lord tell her in November 2017 (emphasis mine),

“I will allow a bad deal for the UK in Brexit, and it will bring a humbleness to the nation. And in the humbleness it will be an answer to your prayers, because it will break Leviathan off you. And in the breaking of Leviathan”, the Lord says, “I will rush towards you with revival and awakening that you have prayed for.” And so the Lord says,“Do not fear the bad deal, for I am in it, and I am disconnecting you to reconnect you.” And the Lord says that there will be a move of God on the back of the humbleness that is going to come to the UK…’ (Fulfilled Prophecy #24 – Brexit Humiliation for…)

So, there’s much to mediate upon and pray over in this situation as we’re nowhere near as humble as the Lord wants us to be.

In mulling this over now, I want to check how this may tie in with the outstanding Vision of Britain that blessed Wendy Alec in July 2005 after the 40 days prayer called by Chuck Pierce. It’s central theme is the EU and our leaving its control and regaining our destiny in the Lord. In opening up that long scroll I espy,

‘And the Lord said –

“A humble and penitent heart I will not despise.”

‘ – and I saw the words written – ‘DIVISIONS AND FACTIONS’.’

Now just where did I read those last words earlier today?

A quick check of my newspaper’s op-ed and lo…

In Tim Stanley’s opinion, ‘The PM’s failure to provide truly “clear” leadership is one of the reasons why, as Ken Clarke pointed out on Monday, the House is more divided now by faction than party, and the larger faction favours some route to Remain (a second vote, permanent customs union, whatever it takes’.  (The UK is not ready for any sort of Brexit, hence this appalling chaos)

Therefore, if what Wendy brought runs in a chronological sequence then there’s some strong hope! It goes on to prophesy national repentance and the Lord bringing Britain into its end-time destiny, a new leadership and “LIONHEART” declared over the UK.

Selah!

40 things (or more!) wrong with May-EU’s Withdrawal Agreement

Posted on by

UPDATED with PS for further information; also note most informative comment:

One of my contributors to this blog’s series on the EU and Brexit, David Chapman, has submitted the following which he’d received from a friend, after having seen material by Martin Howe QC.

(Martin Howe is a leading barrister in intellectual property and EU law and Chairman of Lawyers for Britain, as well as a contributor to Brexit Central. His articles enable us to appreciate why the hitherto secret Attorney General’s advice to the government, as explosive as it is, came as no surprise to anyone well-informed of the nuances of the Brexit negotiations; see, for example – The Withdrawal Agreement’s Northern Ireland Protocol is Neither a ‘Backstop’ or Temporary published 22nd November!)

I’m informed the following has come from social media and it isn’t easy to determine its source. Nevertheless, David writes, “After trawling through the near 600 pages of the WA this seemed to have a much more succinct analysis than I could give.”

Also, a local friend of financial rather than legal background, reports he’s pleased to find its points are similar to those he’d noted when checking to identify the Agreement’s key issues. 

So with the foregoing in mind, let’s now take a look at :

40 REASONS (YES 40) WHY WE NEED TO BIN Mrs MAY’S PROPOSALS

From the offset, we should note that this is an EU text, not a UK or international text. This has one source. The Brexit agreement is written in Brussels.

  1. Prime Minister May says her deal means the UK leaves the EU next March. The Withdrawal Agreement makes a mockery of this. “All references to Member States and competent authorities of Member States…shall be read as including the United Kingdom.” (Art 6). Not quite what most people understand by Brexit. It goes on to spell out that the UK will be in the EU but without any MEPs, a commissioner or ECJ judges. We are effectively a Member State, but we are excused – or, more accurately, excluded – from attending summits. (Article 7)
  2. The European Court of Justice is decreed to be our highest court (Art. 86) both citizens and resident companies can use it.
  3. The UK will remain under the jurisdiction of the ECJ until eight years after the end of the transition period. (Article 158).
  4. The UK will still be bound by any future changes to EU law in which it will have no say, not to mention having to comply with current law. (Article 6(2))
  5. Any disputes under the Agreement will be decided by EU law only – one of the most dangerous provisions. (Article 168) Arbitration will be governed by the existing procedural rules of the EU law – this is not arbitration as we would commonly understand it (i.e. between two independent parties). (Article 174)
  6. “UNDERLINING that this Agreement is founded on an overall balance of benefits, rights and obligations for the Union and the United Kingdom” No, it should be based upon the binding legal obligations upon the EU contained within Article 50. It is wrong to suggest otherwise.
  7. The tampon tax clause: We obey EU laws on VAT, with no chance of losing the tampon tax even if we agree a better deal in December 2020 because we hereby agree to obey other EU VAT rules for **five years** after the transition period. Current EU rules prohibit 0-rated VAT on products (like tampons) that did not have such exemptions before the country joined the EU.
  8. Problems with the EU’s definitions: 3.1. “Union law” is too widely defined. “United Kingdom national” – we should not have agreed the Lisbon Treaty definition. That is giving away our right to define our citizens.
  9. Definitions needed to include the term “goods” and the term “services” we are promised the deal will mean ONLY EU law in relation to ‘goods’ will apply. This is a non-defined term so far. This agreement also fails to define it.
  10. The Mandelson Pension Clause: The UK must promise never to tax former EU officials based here – such as Peter Mandelson or Neil Kinnock – on their E.U. pensions, or tax any current ones on their salaries. The EU and its employees are immune to our tax laws. (Article 104)
  11. Furthermore, the UK agrees not to prosecute EU employees who are, or who might be deemed in future, criminals (Art.101)
  12. The pre-existing rights of EU citizens are to be extended to citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. They will be pleased. (Article 33)
  13. The EU’s stupidest law ever – the General Data Protection Regulation – is to be bound into UK law (Article 71 to 73). So much for escaping this madness.
  14. The UK is obliged to establish a ‘Joint Committee’ with EU representatives to guarantee ‘the implementation and application of this Agreement’. This does not sound like a withdrawal agreement – if it was, why would it need to be subject to continued monitoring? (Article 164). The Joint Committee will have subcommittees with jurisdiction over: (a) citizens’ rights; (b) “other separation provisions”; (c) Ireland/Northern Ireland; (d) Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus; (e) Gibraltar; and (f) financial provisions. (Article 165)
  15. The agreement will last as long as the country’s youngest baby lives. “the persons covered by this Part shall enjoy the rights provided for in the relevant Titles of this Part for their lifetime”. (Article 39).
  16. The UK is shut out of all EU networks and databases for security – yet no such provision exists to shut the EU out of ours. (Article 8)
  17. The UK will tied to EU foreign policy, “bound by the obligations stemming from the international agreements concluded by the Union” but unable to influence such decisions. (Article 124)
  18. All EU citizens must be given permanent right of residence after five years – but what counts as residence? This will be decided by the EU, rather than UK rules. (Articles 15-16)
  19. Britain is granted the power to send a civil servant to Brussels to watch them pass stupid laws which will hurt our economy. (Article 34)
  20. The UK agrees to spend taxpayers’ money telling everyone how wonderful the agreement is. (Article 37)
  21. Art 40 defines Goods. It seems to includes Services and Agriculture. We may come to discover that actually ‘goods’ means everything.
  22. Articles 40-49 practically mandate the UK’s ongoing membership of the Customs Union in all but name.
  23. The UK will be charged to receive the data/information we need in order to comply with EU law. (Article 50)
  24. The EU will continue to set rules for UK intellectual property law (Article 54 to 61)
  25. The UK will effectively be bound by a non-disclosure agreement swearing us to secrecy regarding any EU developments we have paid to be part. This is not mutual. The EU is not bound by such measures. (Article 74)
  26. The UK is bound by EU rules on procurement rules – which effectively forbids us from seeking better deals elsewhere. (Articles 75 to 78)
  27. We give up all rights to any data the EU made with our money (Art. 103)
  28. The EU decide capital projects (too broadly defined) the UK is liable for (why on earth can’t they say now … oh yes, I remember, they’re bust) (Art. 144)
  29. The UK is bound by EU state aid laws until future agreement – even in the event of an agreement, this must wait four years to be valid. (Article 93)
  30. Similar advantages and immunities are extended to all former MEPs and to former EU official more generally. (Articles 106-116)
  31. The UK is forbidden from revealing anything the EU told us or tells us about the finer points of deal and its operation. (Article 105).
  32. Any powers the UK parliament might have had to mitigate EU law are officially removed. (Article 128)
  33. The UK shall be liable for any “outstanding commitments” after 2022 (Article 142(2) expressly mentions pensions, which gives you an idea as to who probably negotiated this). The amount owed will be calculated by the EU. (Articles 140-142)
  34. The UK will be liable for future EU lending. As anyone familiar with the EU’s financials knows, this is not good. (Article 143)
  35. The UK will remain liable for capital projects approved by the European Investment Bank. (Article 150).
  36. The UK will remain a ‘party’ (i.e. cough up money) for the European Development Fund. (Articles 152-154)
  37. And the EU continues to calculate how much money the UK should pay it. So thank goodness Brussels does not have any accountancy issues.
  38. The UK will remain bound (i.e coughing up money) to the European Union Emergency Trust Fund – which deals with irregular migration (i.e. refugees) and displaced persons heading to Europe. (Article 155)
  39. The agreement will be policed by ‘the Authority’ – a new UK-based body with ‘powers equivalent to those of the European Commission’. (Article 159)
  40. And, of course, the UK will agree to pay £40bn to receive all of these ‘privileges’. (Article 138)

Polexit

The EUObserver reports President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, as warning that “Poland could accidentally leave the EU”.

Here, the Brexit news website Westmontser comments,

‘A former Polish PM, Tusk is clearly worried about his country following Brexit Britain out the door. The elected Polish government has repeatedly clashed with the unelected EU Commission from interfering in domestic affairs – and it has having an impact. A BBC report earlier this year highlighted disquiet from some Polish people, with one saying: “The EU is meddling too much in Polish matters. Poland is a sovereign country. We can deal with our own issues.”

‘The Poles have also vowed to defend Viktor Orban’s Hungarian government, who have also faced the threat of EU sanctions.’

OED definition of ‘spectator’ – ‘a person who watches at a show, game or other event’.

Thank you to Carolyn S for alerting me to last weekend’s edition of The Spectator, and I particularly note its front cover’s prophetical cartoon:

As Carolyn observes, “…the spiritual overtones are deafening! A significant time for intercessors to pray!”

Immediately, I’m reminded of the prophecies brought in 2015 and 2016 through David Noakes and Patsy Southway of the fall of the EU (Fulfilled Prophecies #13 & #14 et seriatim) – as well as through Revd John Kilpatrick in Dec 2015 on a coming shaking and jolting of nations, and ‘Sue’ some years previously (under ‘Voice of Believers’ in UK/EU in/out #3 – In the Face of God).

As expected from this periodical, Douglas Murray’s analysis Mutti’s Last Days – Angela Merkel is on the way out, and so is her vision for the European Union is worth taking time to read for his informative opinion.

An apposite posting for All Saints’ Day!  And it’s accompanied by confirmations in the news not only on the day I received it but also today, as told at the end Part 2.

In this tripartite account Dave Hood continues his personal reflections and insights on a Biblical meditation directly relevant to Brexit.

Prophecies on the spiritual significance of hurricanes striking the USA – part 2

In my first blog of 2012, Points to Ponder 2011-12 and Biblical, Historical, Financial Cycles I covered William Koenig’s investigation into the work of financial analyst Eric Hadik.  I’ve since referred to this accredited Christian journalist at the White House for his coverage of the Middle-East from a thoroughly biblical perspective. We now need to consider this in some depth:

In considering connections between President Trump’s ‘Deal of the Century’ for Israel-Palestine and Hurricane Florence for last Friday’s Inside The White House report, Bill  returns to his prime mission and discovery as a ‘watcher’ (emphasis mine)

‘Virtually every major hurricane since the beginning of the Israeli-Palestinians’ peace process in Madrid, Spain, held from October 30-November 1, 1991, have corresponded to White House involvement in Israel’s land. These have all occurred at the time U.S. presidents were actively pressuring and/or inducing Israel to make peace with the Palestinians by agreeing to give up large parts of Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem for promises of peace and security.’

He itemises many things demonstrating President Trump is the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House, as well as giving a timeline of his administration’s peace efforts and public comments in the last two weeks whilst Florence developed. Bill also notes Trump will now have been president during four of the costliest hurricanes in US history, including Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria during the month of Elul in 2017.

Extracts From This Month’s Timeline:
  • Tues 4th – US Ambassador to UN Haley: Trump’s Israeli-Palestinian ‘deal of the century’ can happen if Abbas comes to the table – Fox News – Tropical Storm Florence became Hurricane Florence
  • Wed 5th – Emir of Kuwait visits White House as Florence was continuing to develop. Last year on September 7, President Trump had a joint press conference with the emir as Hurricane Irma was developing into a record-setting Atlantic Hurricane…Florence becomes major hurricane as Category 3 storm. At of 125 mph is five mph away from Cat 4.
  • Thur 6th – Remarks by President Trump in Rosh Hashanah National Press Call with Jewish Faith Leaders and Rabbis; committed to an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal that he thinks can be made – White House transcript
  • Sat 8th – Special Envoy Jason Greenblatt presents details of the Thinking Behind the Mideast Peace Plan – JNS (Tasked by Trump to help reach the “deal of the century,” Greenblatt serves as one of Trump’s top Middle East envoys and has herculean task to help negotiate peace plan between Israelis and Palestinians.
  • Sun 9th – late afternoon Florence became a massive Hurricane 4 storm.
  • Mon 10th – Closure of the PLO Office in Washington is an attempt to force Palestinians to peace talks https://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2018/09/285812.htm
  • Mon 10th Sept John Bolton at the Federalist Society speaks against International Criminal Court and defends Israel (C-Span)
  • Wed 12th – Envoy Greenblatt’s Twitter comments on Trump peace plan.
  • Wed 12th – shift in Florence’s path is ‘bizarre’ could bring ‘catastrophic flooding’ to Southeast – ranks as one of weirdest hurricane/tropical storm tracks! (Part 1  has details)

Bill concludes on the delivery of the ‘peace plan’: ‘Originally, President Trump was to present his plan to the UN on Sept. 25. Haley said last week that there is not a specific date; it may be later. Doesn’t mean he still won’t. Something is up in the heavenlies.’

He notes that ‘Isaac’ has become a hurricane and heading toward the Lesser Antilles. Last time a storm named Isaac formed was the day the Republican Platform Committee endorsed two state plans in August 2012 and caused the 2012 Republican Convention to cancel their first day.

Bible Update: ‘Gog-Magog’ axis moves onto financial footing

Latest developments on ‘axis of infamy’ foreseen by OT prophet Ezekiel is that last week’s Putin-Rouhani-Erdogan summit in Tehran determined ways of circumventing US economic sanctions against their three nations (ie Russia, Iran and Turkey).

Once their troops in Syria overcome the rebels last stronghold in Idlib then Syria will be rebuilt and become a sanctions-busting hub. According to DebkaFile, ‘the three leaders forged an economic-strategic pact to create measures for fighting American sanctions. One measure approved was to contract all business deals among Russia, Iran and Turkey, including gas and oil, in local currencies instead of American dollars. The same rule would apply to banking transactions….US and Israel paid special note to the trilateral decision reached in Tehran to convert the massive projects for Syria’s post-war recovery (after Iran had solidified its military foothold there) into a back-door hatch for escaping US sanctions against Iran. During the Obama presidency, Oman and Abu Dhabi served this purpose; under Donald Trump, it will pass to Damascus, with the added benefit of protection from the deepening Russian-Iranian-Syrian military cooperation…’

Many have long suspected events are well on the way to final fulfillment of the prophecy of the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17:1). With ‘Basher’ Assad’s obliteration of rebel areas, large parts of that capital are already in ruins!

Genesis 12 and deceit of Turkey’s president cont’d

Continuing from previous post, in an interview in the Oval Office on Monday, Donald Trump said he thought he had a deal with Turkeys’ president when he helped to persuade Israel to free a detained Turkish citizen!  He’d thought Erdogan would then release Andrew Brunson, an evangelical pastor held since 2016 and facing 35 years in prison on espionage and terror-related charges.

Arutz Sheva reports him telling Reuters on Monday, “I think it’s very sad what Turkey is doing. I think they’re making a terrible mistake. There will be no concessions.”  When asked about the potential damage to other economies from the tariffs he imposed, he said, “I’m not concerned at all. I’m not concerned. This is the proper thing to do.”

Trump said Erdogan had wanted the Turkish citizen returned from Israel. Earlier a senior White House official said they’d met in Brussels for a NATO summit in mid-July where they discussed Brunson’s case and what could be the way forward to release the pastor.  Turkey had sought US help to persuade the Israelis to release a Turkish woman who was being held in Israel, the senior official said. In exchange Turkey would release Brunson and other Americans being held in Turkey.

Trump said he kept his side of the bargain. “I got that person out for him. I expect him to let this very innocent and wonderful man and great father and great Christian out of Turkey,” Trump told Reuters.

In response to the continued imprisonment of pastor Brunson the US president imposed sanctions on several Turkish officials and a 20 percent duty on aluminum and a 50 percent duty on steel. Turkey imposed tariffs on certain imports from the United States.

Gaza Knock-on Effect

After deceiving Trump and defaulting on their agreement, Erdogan has now stepped into the stalled haggling over plans to obtain a truce to alleviate the situation in Gaza.  Yesterday, DebkaFile exclusively reports: 

‘One of the key benefits under discussion is the use of a Mediterranean port to enable the enclave to receive goods and export merchandise, mostly agricultural products. Port Said on the bank of the Suez Canal was mentioned, as well as Limassol or Larnaca in Cyprus. However, the release of Ebru Ozkan was seen by Hamas as a sign of Israel’s weakness and it raised the ante once again. Now, the Palestinian negotiators in Cairo are demanding that the port made available to them be located in Turkish Cyprus. There, Israel would have no way of monitoring the types of goods Hamas was importing to the Gaza Strip and President Erdogan, a longstanding fan of the Palestinian terrorists, would be able to supply them out of sight with weapons and military equipment. All this means that Turkey can now jump with both feet into the shambolic Gaza truce negotiations and use them as a tool for getting back at Trump and Israel.’

Following the previous post on a few national leaders who bless or curse Israel and, noting Turkey’s Erdogan fits the bill, I draw your attention to Caroline Glick’s latest, perspicacious as ever, in-depth analysis and encourage you to read it in its entirety.

She writes on the rapid deterioration in US-Turkey’s relationship, climaxing in Donald Trump’s imposition of sanctions because paranoid president Erdogan continues unjustly detaining an evangelical Presbyterian pastor (click header to read).:

Andrew Brunson Case Proves US-Turkey Alliance Has Been Over For Years

Brunson has lived in Turkey for 23 years but in October 2016 routinely went to the local police station to renew his Turkish visa – but got detained instead!

Caroline’s methodical manner of recapitulating an issue’s history is very helpful to those new to the topic, as well as adding weight to her observations and sound conclusions. William Koenig describes her journalism as ‘ne-plus ultra’ (none better).

For my newer readers here are pertinent parts of the background to her geopolitical knowledge:

  • Caroline Glick born in Houston, TX and grew up in Chicago, IL, moved to Israel in 1991 after receiving her BA in Political Science from Columbia University, joined the Israel Defense Forces that Summer, serving as an officer for over five years.
  • 1994-96 as an IDF captain, Ms Glick served in the Defense Ministry as a core member of Israel’s negotiating team with the Palestinians.
  • 1997-98 served as Assistant Foreign Policy Advisor to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
  • 1998-2000 studied at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government and received a Master’s in Public Policy in June 2000.
  • Summer 2000, Ms Glick returned to Israel and began writing at Makor Rishon newspaper (Hebrew), served as its chief diplomatic commentator ’til Jan 2008.
  • March 2002, joined The Jerusalem Post as Deputy Managing Editor and senior columnist. Today, as Senior Contributing Editor, Ms. Glick is the newspaper’s most widely-read columnist. She began writing a weekly Hebrew language column for Maariv in 2014 and began writing at Breitbart in January 2018.

Bible Update: Genesis 12 blessing and curse in the news

Posted on by

Now [in Haran] the LORD said to Abram, “Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.

“And I will make of you a great nation and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

“And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language towards you; in you ALL the families and kindred of the earth will be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].” (Genesis 12:1-3 Amplified Bible)

I was reminded of this passage last weekend as being the explanation for the amazing news of financial markets in the US defying the tumult convulsing rest of the world!

Bloomberg reports: “If we looked at the world through just a U.S. lens, it would all seem quite sublime. Geopolitics and geo-tensions are far from it, however,” Marty Mitchell, former head government bond trader at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. and now an independent strategist, said in his daily newsletter Thursday. “It’s just a strange and disconcerting world that we live in, yet the U.S. equity market and the U.S. economy just keep chugging along”; …‘for now, investors may have good reason to be confident in U.S. assets amid the global turmoil. (but) that doesn’t mean they can ignore the events offshore, such as Turkey,’ says Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer of Bleakley Financial Group.”

To me this speaks of a consequential blessing coming upon the United States because president Trump recognises Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state of Israel and therefore relocated the US embassy there. (The next day Guatemala moved theirs too and their ambassador reports that on the day its doors opened no crime was reported in her homeland for the first time in its history! – ICEJ editorial, Word From Jerusalem.)

And now, a week later, those verses of Genesis 12 crop up again upon reading William Koenig’s Eye View from the White House in connection with these references:

THREE SOUTH AMERICAN LEADERS CURSED ISRAEL: one is dead, one is in jail and one was impeached!

Therefore I must ask, is deeply anti-Semitic Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn next?? His support of terrorists has been coming under increasing exposure. Read a survivor of the 1972 Munich Olympics murders: I nearly died with my teammates. I hope Corbyn disappears from politics.

We know God’s word doesn’t return to Him void, ie. without accomplishing its purpose, so it’s encouraging to see Him bringing it about.

‘Gog-Magog’ on ‘front-burner’: Iran’s president warned “Never, ever threaten the US again or…”

We read in the previous post about Putin’s response to PM Netanyahu’s no-nonsense stance on the presence of his Iranian ally’s proxy forces on the Israel-Syrian border. After posting that I read the news-feed on Koenig’s World Watch Daily of President Trump’s reaction to Iranian president Rouhani threatening America with “the mother of all wars”!  He tweeted:

(Source: CNBC; for more on Iran’s perspective see BIN.)

So, around the 6th anniversary of the previous Iranian president’s End-times threat to Israel announced in the United Nations – plus years of belligerent threats, including that of “the mother of all wars” (ie. ‘Armageddon’), as oft’ reported here – at long last there’s now someone with a very big stick promising to make them eat their words!

Thank you Donald.

Status quo resumption realigns Russia-Israel Realpolitiks with Bible prophecy!

The ‘Gog-Magog’ prophecy of Ezekiel (chapters 38 and 39) is back in play! Events in last week’s news made me reconsider its relevance to current international affairs.

But now comes new news!

After posting Thursday’s Bible Update on the implicit accord or ‘understandings’ agreed between Netanyahu and Trump with Putin, I thought this development deviates from the prophesied wars against God’s people in Israel from an alliance of peoples in north and north-eastern Middle-East: currently, Iran, Syria and Turkey under Russian leadership. As that stance seems to be changing by Russia supposedly ignoring or going against Iran’s policy and by coming to an ‘understanding’ of Israel’s need to defend itself against continuous Iranian hostility, perhaps the prophecy isn’t yet applicable?

Therefore, perhaps we need to be open to such a possibility bringing an outcome that doesn’t line up with scripture as it’s not yet the ‘appointed time’?

HOWEVER, yesterday brought news of a diplomatic rift, as exclusively reported by DEBKAfile in Breakdown in Russian-Israeli “Understandings” for S. Syria:

‘The US-Russian-Israel formula for South Syria, composed in painstaking discussions for weeks, is not working. This became clear in phone conversations on Friday, July 20, between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and President Vladimir Putin and their defense ministers. The “understandings” they had apparently reached were proving inoperable, including Russia’s guarantees for the non-presence of Iranian militias and Hizballah near Israel’s Golan border.

‘The breakdown stemmed from an abrupt Russian U-turn. Russian diplomats were suddenly claiming that Moscow never agreed to have Iranian proxies and Hizballah pushed back from the Israel border or out of Syria at large…’

Thus, PM Netanyahu said Israel is free to engage and wipe out Iranian or Hezbollah forces in the Golan border area, and went into a high state of operational readiness.

So today (Monday), the Russian Foreign Minister and Chief of Staff urgently arrived in Israel for further talks. Last night Netanyahu had described events to his Cabinet in these revealing terms:

‘He said Israel will not accept the Syrian army’s entry to the buffer zone set up by the 1974 Syrian-Israeli separation of forces accord, thereby indicating that he did not trust in Syrian compliance with this accord, despite the guarantee offered by President Vladimir Putin in their phone conversation on Friday, July 20. DEBKAfile’s sources note that Putin’s pledge came after he reneged on a series of promises he gave US President Donald Trump and Netanyahu in recent weeks, relating to keeping the Iranians and their proxies away from the Israeli border.’ (Read full details here)

UPDATE on MONDAY’s MEETING

The Russians returned empty-handed to Moscow after offering to move Iranian-allied forces in Syria back beyond 100km of the Israeli border but being rejected by Israel.

The Times of Israel reports, ‘Israel is sticking to its demand that Iran not be allowed any military foothold in Syria, the official stressed. Israel is furthermore demanding that all long-range missiles be removed from the war-torn country and that any factories producing precision-guided missiles there be shut, the official said.

‘Additionally, Jerusalem has asked Moscow to guarantee that all air-defense systems that protect the aforementioned arms be taken out of Syria. Lastly, Israel requested the closing of border crossings between Syria and Lebanon and between Syria and Iraq, to prevent Iranian weapons being smuggled into Syria.’

Military sources had provided Debka ‘pre-news service’ with details of 8 pro-Iran militias operating in the Golan area. Therefore, according to their latest report:

‘Israel’s leaders confronted their Russian visitors with the charge that, if they can’t – or won’t – remove these hostile forces from Israel’s doorstep, how can they be trusted to keep their pledge to hold them at a distance of 100km?

‘Putin’s emissaries, despite their high rank, had little hope of talking Israeli leaders around when the evidence of his perfidy was in full sight. Contrary to his pledges to the US and Israel, Hizballah and Shiite militias loyal to Tehran were operating freely at this moment on the Syrian-Israeli Golan border.’

Bible Update: Russia’s lead in Middle-East recognised

Vladimir Putin’s ‘twin summits’ with Benjamin Netanyahu and then with Donald Trump, bring this update on developments relating to the Gog-Magog alliance, as foretold by Ezekiel. (Click this posts tags for background, and links for full reports):

16 July: Trump & Putin agree on keeping Israel safe (but) not much else – ‘Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin told the press that their two-hour face-to-face on Monday, July 16, in Helsinki, was a success. But, the impression was that there was very little agreement on the issues they touched on, including Iran, Syria or Crimea. Neither referred to the removal of Iran and its proxies from Syria, as Israel has demanded. Putin appeared to say that Israeli security was served by the Israeli-Syrian 1974 Separation of Forces agreement on the Golan and advised extending it to the Syrian-Jordanian border as well. Trump noted: “We both talk to Benjamin Netanyahu, work with him on Syria and agree on the importance of Israel’s safety.”..It would seem that the high speculation ahead of the summit of a deal in the making between the two presidents for Iran to quit Syria in return for a US military pullback was pie in the sky.’

16 July Debka Exclusive: Netanyahu’s secret consent to hand Golan crossing to Syria led to Trump-Putin deal on Israel’s border security – ‘(Trump and Putin) joined in their support for Israel’s security (as above) after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told them both that he had withdrawn his objections to the Syrian army reinstating its line of outposts in the Quenitra district, including control of the Ein Zivan-Quneitra border crossing. This is the only transit point between Israel and Syria….’

18 July: Secret Helsinki deal: US & Israel hand Russia controlling role on Syria’s Israel-Jordan borders – ‘…DEBKAfile has obtained exclusive access to this deal and can reveal for the first time that it provides for the handover to Russian responsibility of all parts of southern and southwestern Syria abutting on the Israeli and Jordanian borders, including, most importantly, surveillance and observation elevations that oversee all parts of Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean. Trump and Binyamin Netanyahu thereby gave Putin a valuable asset for boosting Russia’s military presence in Syria and the region at large…’ (emphasis added)

For a better grasp of President’s Trump’s apparently incorrect and/or muddled remarks on investigations into Russian hacking read investigative journalist Melanie Phillips’ in-depth analysis in The Hysteria Over Helsinki and the Real Threat to the Free World.

Melanie wisely concludes (emphases mine):

‘Trump’s personality flaws – his self-obsession, his lack of attention span, his thin skin against criticism, his inability to speak carefully and accurately – are plain for all to see. The crucial point, however, is not what Trump says, nor the content of his character, but what he does and what he achieves.

‘And here’s what Putin said that was potentially so significant. For his remarks suggested that he would support Trump’s attempts to defang both Iran and North Korea. If Trump turns out to have succeeded in detaching Russia from Iran over Syria and from China over North Korea, that would be a huge step towards defeating two of the most evil and dangerous regimes in the world.

‘Seen in this light, the reaction of the media and political class to the Helsinki press conference was not just hysterical and disproportionate and a display of near-pathological hatred towards Donald Trump, but a malevolent undermining of the most promising attempt for years to tackle some of the major threats to the peace and security of the world.’

Postscript:

Does Russia’s apparent change towards Iran and favouring Israel disprove the ‘Gog-Magog’ prophecy or indicate it’s not yet applicable in its fullness? Within days events changed and got realigned to that prophecy and put it back on the front burner’, as told in the next post Status quo resumption realigns Russia-Israel Realpolitiks With Bible prophecy!

A New Day of Divine Transition for the UK – spirit of betrayal and rebellion being overcome

Posted on by
2

In view of recent prophecies delivered by Veronika West rapidly proving to be true, let us pray and trust this one, published late evening Thursday, will be too. (Thank you to Suzanne at UK Prophetic Words for alerting me):

A WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM; T•R•U•M•P OVERCOMES THE SPIRIT OF BETRAYAL AND REBELLION…!

“THE 11th HOUR NOW GIVES WAY TO A NEW DAY, WATCH! TRUMP OVERCOMES THE SPIRIT OF BETRAYAL AND REBELLION, FOR A DIVINE TRANSITION IS TAKING PLACE OVER THE NATION”…!

During my prayer time this morning while continuing to intercede for the Nation re; (Brexit) and the imminent arrival of President Donald Trump suddenly I saw in the Spirit a large digital clock and as I looked at the clock I saw that the time was 11:11…!  Immediately the Spirit of God reminded me that the number Eleven is the number of TRANSITION..! Then I heard the Spirit say,

“THE 11th HOUR NOW GIVES WAY TO A NEW DAY, WATCH! TRUMP OVERCOMES THE SPIRIT OF BETRAYAL AND REBELLION, FOR A DIVINE TRANSITION IS TAKING PLACE OVER THE NATION”…!

Now as I heard those words the Holy Spirit quickened to me “Deuteronomy 11:11”, which says, “But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven”! (This immediately Confirmed the word I posted a few days ago where the Lord gave me Joshua 3, for the Nation; ‘ISRAELITES CROSSING OVER THE JORDAN RIVER; THE NATION OF BRITAIN IS CROSSING OVER INTO THE LAND OF PROMISE…See; ‘Now Word’ concerning Brexit published 6th July at “Listen! For I Have Decreed Freedom Britain Over the United Kingdom, Watch! For the Whole Nation Will Pass By On Dry Ground!”

Now as I remained in deep intercession praying for the Nation, suddenly I heard in the Spirit (5) Five loud and clear Trumpet blasts going forth across the Nation, now as I listened to the sound, a vision opened up before me where I saw (5) Five Mighty Tidal Waves breaking forth upon the land, as I looked at the Tidal Waves, I heard these words again, “WATCH! TRUMP OVERCOMES THE SPIRIT OF BETRAYAL AND REBELLION IN THE NATION”.

The Holy Spirit then took me back to a powerful dream I had concerning; TRUMP AND 5 TIDAL WAVES…!  (America: Prepare For God’s Five Tidal Waves! – 17th Dec 2017)

“Daughter Watch! Tidal waves of My Truth, Righteousness, Unity, Mercy and Peace will trump the plans of the enemy in this nation!”

Now as I looked at the first tidal wave suddenly I heard these words, “My TRUTH will prevail in this nation.”
Then I looked again and I saw the second wave coming towards the land and I heard these words, “My RIGHTEOUSNESS draws near speedily.”
Then I saw the third large wave and I heard these words, “As it is in heaven, so shall it be upon the earth. I shall rebuild UNITY, for My Kingdom will not remain divided.”
Then I saw the fourth wave as it went forth upon the land and I heard these words, “MERCY, mercy shall triumph over judgement. My mercy shall make a way.”
Then I saw the fifth and last wave breaking forth upon the land and I heard these words, “And the God of PEACE will soon crush satan under your feet.”

•Isaiah 55:5 reads, “And now I’m doing it to you: you will summon nations you’ve never heard of, and nations who’ve never heard of you will come running to you because of Me, your God, because the Holy One of Israel has honored you.”

As I read over the dream again, the Spirit of God began to show and reveal me a powerful prophetic parallel that is unfolding in this hour and season between both Nations, THE UNITED KINGDOM AND UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the Holy Spirit told me that the timing of President Donald Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom has been divinely orchestrated by His hand for the purpose of His Kingdom being established in the Nation, for this is “A TIME OF DIVINE TRANSITION; CROSSING OVER”!

Lastly, as I came out of prayer I entered into a time of Praise and thanksgiving for what God is doing and what God has already done in our Nation. And During this time the Father spoke these words to me, “Daughter, Ask My People in this Nation, Which loving Father if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? See;(Luke 11:11)…!

I PROPHESY THAT GREAT BRITAIN WILL BEGIN TO SEE WAVE AFTER WAVE AFTER WAVE OF THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, UNITY, MERCY AND PEACE BREAKING FORTH OVER THE NATION OVERCOMING AND OVERTURNING THE POWERS OF BETRAYAL AND REBELLION IN THE LAND – WE ARE CROSSING OVER…!

Veronika West, 12th July at 22:59.

Note: you may like to know today’s op-ed by Charles Moore’s is most apposite – see Donald Trump Yells Truth to Power, No Matter Whom He Offends. It Has Its Uses.:

‘Good manners, however, can be a way to conceal truth. If your host’s food is disgusting, for instance, you say it is delicious. President Trump seems not to understand. If he thinks something is true, he says it, regardless. This makes him a pretty shocking person in diplomatic circles. But the truth has its uses. Sometimes, it must be heard. 

‘Mr Trump, as a businessman, knows about deals. Speaking of the Brexit negotiations, he says: “I think what is going on is very unfortunate. Too long. You know, deals that take too long are never good ones.” That’s the truth too – not indisputable factual truth, perhaps, but a truth born of experience…But whatever one’s own views, the point is that Mr Trump’s outbursts have two characteristics: The first is that they stick it to what he sees as the current cant of the several thousand people who rule the Western world. The second is that they tend to favour the priorities of the many millions who don’t…’  (emphases mine)
