http://www.worldviewtimes.com/ Worldview Times Your Source For Understanding The Times Through A Christian Worldview http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7962/Brannon-Howse Wouldn't it be great if a Republican presidential candidate could just buy the support of just about every major conservative talk show host in America? Well, it may not be as far-fetched as you may think. Clear Channel owns more radio stations (850) than anyone else in the United States. They also own Premiere Radio Networks, the company that syndicates the radio shows of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck, among others. Needless to say, Clear Channel basically owns conservative talk radio in the United States. So who owns Clear Channel? Well, it turns out that Bain Capital is one of the primary owners of Clear Channel. Yes, you read that correctly. The company that Mitt Romney ran for so long is one of the "big bosses" over virtually all conservative talk radio in America. Of course Mitt Romney is not running Bain Capital anymore. He is a "retired partner", but he still has a huge financial stake in Bain Capital. We're talking about millions upon millions of dollars. If you doubt this, just check out page 34 of this public financial disclosure report. So if you have been wondering why so many conservative talk show hosts are being so incredibly kind to Mitt Romney, this just might be the answer. http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7961/Brannon-Howse Do you ever get the feeling that the world around you is going crazy? If you live in America today and you are not in a television-induced coma, then you have probably had that feeling. It seems like almost everywhere you turn these days, there is someone that is seriously losing it. It is not just our politicians either. In every profession and on every level of society there are lots of people that appear to be a few fries short of a Happy Meal. So what do you do when the country where you live is literally going insane? When paranoia, fear and delusional thinking are commonplace, it is very difficult for a society to function normally. And unfortunately, some of the craziest people out there are working for the federal government. These days you literally do not know who you can count on. If you contact someone in a position of authority, that person may help you or that person may turn out to be a raving lunatic. Once upon a time, there was a feeling that most people in America shared a set of common values, but those days are long gone. These days, it seems like nearly everyone has their own idea of what "right and wrong" are, and so when you meet someone you never know what you are going to get. What may seem "totally insane" to you may seem perfectly normal to the person that you are trying to interact with. http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7960/Brannon-Howse Wycliffe Bible Translators is firing back at an allegation that it is softening the language of the Bible it prepares for Muslim countries in order not to offend the Muslim majorities there. WND reported earlier on the developing controversy that involves Wycliffe Bible Translators, the Summer Institute of Linguistics and Frontiers, all of which were reported producing Bible translations that remove or modify terms which they have deemed offensive to Muslims. http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7959/Brannon-Howse To be clear, in no way does a tribute represent nor should it be interpreted as an endorsement by the Delaware House of Representatives. The House does not vote on tributes. They are requested and sponsored by a specific Representative or Representatives. http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7958/Brannon-Howse/Christian-Pinto For some time now, books, videos, newsletters and the Internet have been swarmed with countless material that is often corralled into the category of "conspiracy theories." Generally speaking, the information concerns the New World Order, the New Age, Communism, Nazism, the Roman Catholic Church, the Evolution movement, and things that are frequently attributed to Bible prophecy. While it must be said that much of this material is wildly speculative and often false, much of the information is not without noteworthy origins. http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7957/Brannon-Howse Why do some religious leaders embrace false teachers even after being given the evidence of their heretical and blasphemous teachings? Should not true Christians be convicted by the Holy Spirit about partnering with false teachers after being given the documentation of such? Brannon looks at the book of First John in regards to the description of false teachers and their deception that causes people to embrace them. http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7956/Brannon-Howse/John-Whitehead In a unanimous 9-0 ruling in United States v. Jones, the U.S. Supreme Court has declared that police must get a search warrant before using GPS technology to track criminal suspects. But what does this ruling, hailed as a victory by privacy advocates, really mean for the future of privacy and the Fourth Amendment? http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7955/Brannon-Howse With each passing year, the difference between America's prisons and America's public schools becomes smaller and smaller. As you read the rest of this article, you will be absolutely amazed at some of the crazy things that school children in America are being arrested for. When I was growing up, I don't remember a single police officer ever coming to my school. Discipline was always handled by the teachers and by the principals. But today, there are schools all over the country that have police officers permanently stationed in the halls. Many other schools will call out police officers at the drop of a hat. In the classrooms of America today, if you burp in class, if you spray yourself with perfume or if you doodle on your desk, there is a chance that you will be arrested by the police and hauled out of your school in handcuffs. Unfortunately, we live in a country where paranoia has become standard operating procedure. The American people have become convinced that the only way that we can all be "safe" is for this country to be run like a militarized totalitarian police state. So our public schools are run like prisons and our public school students are treated like prisoners. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world by far, and our schools are preparing the next generation to either "do time" in the prison system or to live as good little slaves in the Big Brother prison grid that is being constructed all around us. But what our schools are not doing is giving these children the critical thinking skills that they need to live as free citizens in a nation that used to be "the land of the free and the home of the brave". http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7954/Brannon-Howse How would you feel if someone told you that one of the largest banks on Wall Street makes more money whenever the number of Americans on food stamps goes up? Unfortunately, this is something that is actually true. In the United States today, one out of every seven Americans is on food stamps. In fact, the number of Americans on food stamps has increased by a whopping 14 million since Barack Obama entered the White House. All of this makes JP Morgan very happy, because JP Morgan has been making money by the boatload on food stamps. Right now, JP Morgan Chase issues food stamp debit cards in 26 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The division of JP Morgan Chase that issues these debit cards made an eye-popping 5.47 billion dollars in net revenue during 2010. JP Morgan is paid per customer, so when the number of Americans on food stamps goes up, they make more money. But doesn't this give JP Morgan an incentive to try to keep the number of Americans on food stamps as high as possible? Of course it does. JP Morgan is interested in making money as rapidly as possible. If JP Morgan can get more Americans enrolled in the food stamp program and keep them enrolled in it for as long as possible, that is good for business. http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7953/Brannon-Howse/Christine-Pack James MacDonald posted a video today in which he gathered together three African American Christian pastors to discuss the fallout from his public embracing of heretic T.D. Jakes as a Christian brother. Below is a partial transcript of their conversation: http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7952/Brannon-Howse/Phyllis-Schlafly The now-famous picture of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer shaking her finger at President Barack Obama is both appropriate and deserved. In America, we don't have rulers entitled to the deference and obsequiousness other countries show to their kings; our elected officials are ordinary citizens whom we are free to criticize. http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7950/Brannon-Howse http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7949/Brannon-Howse http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7948/Brannon-Howse http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7947/Brannon-Howse "After extensive study of both the Tofflers and Saul Alinsky, I believe they hold an equally radical and dangerous worldview," Howse said. "There is no doubt President Obama was influenced by radical Saul Alinsky. There is also no doubt that Newt Gingrich was influenced by radicals Heidi and Alvin Toffler. "If Romney was influenced by Alinksy through his father, George Romney, then all three leading candidates for president of the United States have been influenced by anti-American progressives," Howse concluded, "and that is putting it mildly." http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7946/Brannon-Howse In what might be one of the most important credit events about to occur in the history of the financial world, the International Swaps and Derivative Association (ISDA) is expected to make a decision as early as today on whether five major US banks will go insolvent according to Jim Sinclair in an interview on January 30th. http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7945/Brannon-Howse http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7944/Brannon-Howse http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7943/Brannon-Howse http://www.worldviewtimes.com//article.php/articleid-7942/Brannon-Howse/Carl-Teichrib This issue of Forcing Change takes a look at two major areas of concern for this fall, climate change (especially the financing of "global warming") and economics. Understanding the monetary forces pushing climate change is essential, for in a few weeks time, before Christmas of this year, world leaders will be gathering at Copenhagen to hash out a new global climate change treaty. What makes this summit especially important is that the timing matches the economic crisis, and global warming lobbyists – along with major banking and investment firms – anticipate a solution that will save the planet's climate while reshaping the global economic landscape.
