Dear friends:
 
A must-see video presentation of the mortal dangers immediately facing the U.S. is titled “Wake Up, America,” and is at http://usawakeup.org .  This is hot! 
 
Coincidentally, in 1994 I wrote a newspaper article also titled, “Wake Up, America,” which won me a prestigious Amy Writing Award.  The recognition was nice, but unfortunately, America didn’t wake up.  In fact, things have become worse. 
 
We should be hearing this message from top politicians and the mainstream media, but we are not, and never will, because it is not “politically correct,” a modern social sickness that may destroy us.
 
The video very graphically describes two main threats: (1) radical Islam and (2) out-of-control immigration.  Either or both can destroy this country. 

Open borders are allowing terrorists to flow through unimpeded.  Border control is almost non-existent.  When agents try to do their job, they are persecuted and thrown into prison.  Massive numbers are resigning.  Government and both parties give lip service to the problem but do nothing about it due to politics and political correctness.  This is a scandal of the highest order.

Former CIA director George Tenet said recently that Al Qaeda is already in the U.S., just waiting for orders.  Al Qaeda may be waiting until they have portable nukes in place so their strike will be devastating and final.  According WorldNetDaily, captured al-Qaida leaders and documents (show) “the plan is called the 'American Hiroshima' and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S. over the Mexican border with the help of the MS-13 street gang and other organized crime groups."
 
Such a devastating strike could cripple our economy and bring anarchy throughout the nation, with no power, no water, no communications, and no food.  People will be killing each other to survive.  This hell on earth may be closer than most people think.
 
A study by a top U.S. Senate committee said it is not a matter of “if” but “when” America will be hit with a nuke or nukes.  This study was done years ago before Islam was revealed as such an imminent threat.
 
Islamists are now wined and dined at the White House, elected to Congress, and given preferential treatment in our society, such as in our universities where Saudi oil money (read that “our gas money”) has established propaganda centers and our young people are being brainwashed.  America is in a self-destruct mode, constructed, aided, and abetted by politicians, academia, and the media.  And they will all go down together into one big heap.
 
I believe the dangers and warnings in this video will come to full fruition and reality after the rapture.  There was never a more compelling time than today to get right with God by casting oneself totally on the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.
 
In 1995 I wrote an essay circulated worldwide titled “God’s Judgment on America,” in which I described what I saw from a biblical standpoint, including America in prophecy and where we might fit in.  I believe the insights are still valid and timely.  If you are interested, the essay is online at http://choicesforliving.com/spirit/part4/judgement.htm . 
 
It appears that judgment is already here, and worse judgment is imminent.  I believe all this and that described in the video are part of God’s judgment I wrote about in 1995.  The essay explains why it is probably too late for 2 Chronicles 7:14 to work, as it did not work for Jeremiah. 
 
(Sorry, all you happy time prophets, but this is just the way I see it, and I believe it is scriptural.  God only has promised blessings in store for His people, some in this world, but mostly after they are removed.)
 
It was painful for me to write this essay because I have always been a very patriotic person.  I spent a 20-year career serving my country in the United States Air Force.  I can still tear up when hearing the Star Spangled Banner or other patriotic songs.  This largely stems from my childhood experience in World War 2 when my dad was in the infantry, landing at Normandy and fighting through Europe, and my uncle, whose B-24 bomber unit was one of the first to deploy overseas, to North Africa.  As a young teen, I followed the war news daily and idolized them and the millions of men and women like them who saved us from German and Japanese fascism. 
 
Today’s troops are no less brave, honorable, and dedicated.  They are fighting radical Islamists who want to kill us, yet the troops are being constantly undermined by negative, radical, self-seeking political forces in their own country who even want to put our troops on trial if they are not being “nice enough” to our enemies.  These same negative forces, egged on by the media, also criticize every action taken by our Commander-in-Chief to protect us and capture terrorists, and confine them, even with a benevolence toward prisoners that is historically unprecedented.
 
Our political and social climate has become so divided, so hateful, so evil, and so tolerant of evil, that I do not see how modern soldiers can remain motivated to put their lives on the line each day.
 
I believe these evil, negative, and radical forces will be left behind at the rapture to deal with the anarchy, chaos, and destruction.  I don’t want to be here.
 
Come, Lord Jesus.
