Highlights:
Germany, migrants and Angela Merkel’s big lie
All is not well in Germany: Growing numbers of German people are becoming unhappier, not just with migrants, but also with the current German leadership.Many Germans believe that Angela Merkel and her pro-migrant allies in the government and the media have deliberately lied to them about the migrant crisis in Europe.
Trumpet columnist Brad Macdonald wrote that, as a consequence, “Angela Merkel is turning the German people into a ticking time bomb!”“Pay attention,” he concluded. “An explosion is coming.”Pope wins Charlemagne Prize
The International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen is traditionally awarded to an individual who has performed “exceptional work … in the service of European unity” and “most often work[s] toward integration—and who [is] able to exercise a political influence.”In 2015, the individual chosen was Pope Francis.Europe has gone through seven years of “weakness, crises and setbacks” causing “a dramatic loss of confidence” wrote the prize committee. “In these times, in which many citizens in Europe seek orientation, [Pope Francis] sends a message of love and encouragement.”The legacy of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne, unfortunately, is anything but holy or glorious. You can read about it from any history book. You can also read about it—and more—in our free book The Holy Roman Empire in Prophecy.
White House delays imposing new sanctions on Iran
Iran deserves the punishment of economic sanctions for its ballistic missile program: It conducted at least two ballistic missile tests last year in defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions.The White House announced plans for new sanctions on Iran in this regard. Then it announced an indefinite delay in the imposition of those sanctions.“If the president’s announced sanctions ultimately aren’t executed,” commented Rep. Mike Pompeo, “it would demonstrate a level of fecklessness that even the president hasn’t shown before.”Russia and China’s hybrid warfare
In an article titled “Brave New War,” the Atlantic noted that Russia and China were at the forefront of championing a new form of warfare during 2015.“It’s a brave new war without beginning or end, where the borders of peace and war, serviceman and civilian have become utterly blurred—and where you and I are both a target and a weapon.”Losing the Panama Canal
December 31 was the 16th anniversary of the United States giving the Panama Canal back to the Panamanians.The Panama Canal—one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World—is a strategic waterway that has greatly contributed to the wealth and success of the United States.For centuries, world powers have coveted the trade opportunities that this gate would open up—from the Holy Roman Empire under Charles v, to Scotland, to Germany and to France. But none succeeded with the building project until the United States did from 1904 to 1914.America’s gain (and loss) of the Panama Canal is an astounding fulfillment of prophecies documented in The United States and Britain in Prophecy and He Was Right.
