#450: Vladimir Putin Cracks Down on Dissent
Last week, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s critics “fell” out of a fourth-story window. Another was shot on the streets of Kiev—in broad daylight. Another thousand have been arrested in Moscow alone, as protests erupted across Russia. On today’s show, Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer examines why you should be concerned about the violence in Russia.
#449: How Germany Won World War II
Germany is achieving exactly what it wanted, but failed at, in two world wars: control of Europe. Germany has deceptively abused the euro to position itself as Europe’s undisputed leader. In the 1990s, Germany coerced the United States-led nato into carrying out its will in Yugoslavia. As World War ii drew to a close, America and Britain pledged to keep Germany from ever becoming a military power again. However, in the past few decades, America and Britain have not only allowed Germany to rebuild its empire, but they helped Germany do it! For more on this subject and its importance in Bible prophecy, listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#448: Germany Has Won the Battle of the Peace
Britain’s former deputy prime minister, Lord Michael Heseltine, said in a recent interview that Britain’s departure from the European Union gives Germany “the opportunity to win the peace.” Britain served as the one nation powerful enough to act as a counterbalance to Germany’s ambitions. Now that Britain is out, Germany will be left unchecked and in an unrestrained position to finally get the victory it lost in World War ii. Herbert W. Armstrong proclaimed that same warning almost word-for-word, but he said it when Lord Heseltine was 12 years old and Germany was in ruins! On today’s program, we discuss how Mr. Armstrong’s bold forecast from the 1940s is being fulfilled today.
#447: Britain’s Deadly ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ Mentality
The general mood in Britain following yesterday’s ghastly terrorist attack is that Britain needs to keep calm and carry on as normal. In today’s program, guest presenter Brad Macdonald shows that this sentiment is evidence of a destructive apathy. Instead of quickly moving on, Britain ought to be asking some soul-searching questions. Why did this attack happen? What is the cause? How can we prevent another? And, most importantly, why did God allow this to happen? Failing to take time to explore these questions will only guarantee more catastrophes.
#446: Rebuilding the Military—How Will America Pay for It?
The United States military has faced budget cuts and downsizing for decades. President Donald Trump has promised to reverse these trends and rebuild America’s military status to what it was in the 1980s. With an astronomical debt and a public addicted to government handouts, where will he get the money to increase military spending? On today’s radio show, we discuss where America’s spending habits are leading the nation, as well as other items in this week’s news.
#445: Nations Build Alliances to Fight and Conquer Other Alliances
Germany, China and Japan are working together to form a trade alliance to counterbalance the United States. Under the leadership of President Donald Trump, the U.S. is firing shots at these nations over what it views as unfair trade practices. Now Germany and China are hitting back. Herbert W. Armstrong gave a stark warning back in the 1960s about where these exchanges would lead. Learn the prophetic significance of these events on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#443: Honoring the Father
Herbert W. Armstrong wrote that “a solid family structure is the foundational bulwark of any stable and permanent society.” Today, Western nations, America and Britain in particular, are experiencing the total upheaval of the traditional family. The effects are obvious and deadly. On today’s program, we cover why societies disintegrate when the most important role in the family structure is missing.
#442: Trump’s War Against the Media—Not as Ruthless as Obama’s
The major media in America view President Donald Trump as enemy number one, but Mr. Trump’s war with the media isn’t close to what Barack Obama’s was. Under Obama, right-wing journalists faced prosecution, were labeled as coconspirators, and even faced jail time. On this Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we take a look back at Obama’s war against the media and show how it reshaped America.
#441: Silly Dove: As Britain Negotiates EU Exit, the SNP Calls for Scottish Independence
The two-year Brexit procedure commenced this week as the bill triggering Article 50 cleared its final hurdle in the United Kingdom’s Parliament. Coinciding with this, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced legal proceedings for another independence referendum to be held before Britain officially leaves the European Union. Britain now has to sort out its EU departure as well as face the question of its own existence—again. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we explain what this internal division signals for Britain’s future.
