He who speaks truth declares righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.

Proverbs 12:17

Truth is often painful and unsettling. I wish that I could write about the niceties and cuddly things of life, but that is not my calling. Proverbs 3:27 states emphatically, Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so.

Therefore, what I know to be true, I must reveal. You can do with it what you desire. Ignore it! Share it! Rebut it!

Quite frankly, the Church in America needs to get out of its “hallelujah” bubble and “we’ll be raptured before World chaos” mindset and warn the world of coming devastation if God does not intervene, and that Jesus is the only way to salvation and escape.

President Biden has created the most dangerous world the planet has ever known. Not only has he strengthened and emboldened the tyrants and despots of the globe, but he has alienated America’s allies and pushed them toward those same tyrants and despots.

However, the biggest threat to the Free World and the American form of Republican Democracy is not any of these rogue actors, but it resides in America’s own White House. Now I do not believe for a nano second that Biden is behind what is taking place. He is neither that smart nor cognitive. The seeds of this rebellion against humanity were planted long ago. We are just seeing the “fruits” of their labor in rapid succession.

Just about everyone in the world, but especially the enemies of the United States, are laughing uncontrollably at the ineptness and weakness of American leadership. Foreign newscasts and media mock Biden and his continuous gaffs and acts of feebleness, while the U.S. media, in lock step, make unending excuses for his dereliction of duty as the head of state. Clearly, the once great United States of America is no longer the leader (not even close) of the Free World, or any world. In one swift ill-advised (and maybe stolen) election, America has been kicked to the side of the road of history.

“The American wagon is rapidly heading for a place nobody is sure they know. And that makes Joe Biden arguably the worst American President ever,” wrote Indian columnist, Abhijit Majumder. However, he is just one of many around the world with disparaging and unflattering thoughts of Biden and America.

So, with America’s allies fleeing from her, the world on fire with the potential of World War III on the horizon, the destruction of America’s energy independence, a woefully unprepared military, violence everywhere across the nation, rampant drug addiction and death, racial tensions, sexual perversion of our youth—and the list goes on—where is America’s president? Why he was in Ireland this week tracing his Irish roots. No joke, folks. Our president was in Ireland to commemorate the 25^th year of the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace between Ireland’s warring factions and to find out what branch his heritage doth sprung. All at taxpayer expense, of course.

The path of Biden’s destructive leadership, or the lack thereof, is way too wide and long, and would take a thick book to “commemorate.” So, I will have to be brief, very brief, and you will have to do your own research. For the most part I will just have to give you some highlights and links for now until I have more time for more complete posts on various issues of concern.

Creating the Foundation for WWIII. As Majumder points out, under no other U.S. president has China felt so empowered and embolden as to threaten an imminent attack on Taiwan. Nor, might I add, Russia’s bold invasion of Ukraine, North Korea’s pushing forward plans to overtake South Korea, Iran near nuclear bomb capability and the threat to annihilate Israel, and even Venezuela saber rattling against the U.S. Peace in our time? Not even close under Biden.

As China boldly sent an estimate 71 fighter jets, 9 destroyers and an aircraft carrier into Taiwanese waters, the President was in La-La Land far away from the “war room” or any other strategic planning center.

As the President of France, Emmanuel Marcon, was grasping the hand of China, Xi Jinping, and urging America’s European allies to disassociate themselves from the United States, America’s intrepid leader was likely glad-handing an Irish ice cream.

In the meantime, back in real time, after three days of military drills around the island nation of Taiwan, China’s military boldly announced it is “ready to fight.” They are not talking about the latest miliary bravado video game. They are talking about the full-scale invasion of Taiwan, a duly recognized sovereign nation. If they do, what will be America’s response and that of the Free World? Apparently no one knows for sure and Taiwanese leaders are growing less confident that the United States has its back.

“The theater’s troops are ready to fight at all times and can fight at any time to resolutely smash any form of ‘Taiwan independence’ and foreign interference attempts,” a spokesperson for the Chinese military force know as Joint Sword.

On April 10, Fox News reported that Taiwanese officials are greatly concerned that a China misstep could easily result in an “uncontrollable world war.”

Last August, in simulated war games, the U.S. military determined that it could lose up to 900 Navy and Air Force fighter jets in the first four weeks of a battle with China. This would be equivalent to about one half of the U.S. fighter jets.

Aside from a possible war with China, we have the hermit kingdom of North Korea once again rattling on with their threats of attack on South Korea (and possibly Japan). With President Trump out of the picture, North Korea’s Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-Un, appears to be fearless as he ramps up testing of his ICBMs and nuclear arsenal.

Then there is Iran and the Ayatollahs. With no hindrance from the Biden administration and tacit support of their nuclear program, many Iran watchers, including Israel, feel that Iran is only weeks, maybe even days, away from enough nuclear material for a bomb, which they plan to use on Israel.

If these major threats to world war are not enough to unnerve the American psyche, in our own backyard we have the despotic nation of Venezuela that is threatening the American homeland with aggressive rhetoric, if not outright threats of hostility. The United States of America was once the “go-to” nation for much of Latin America. Today, much of the land to our south is looking to China, Iran and other despotic nations for their sustenance and security.

Worldwide, all of this malfeasance of American leadership has led to another very unsettling development.

BRICS and the Death of the U.S. Dollar. Recently the nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have agreed to ditch the U.S. dollar as the preferred currency of trade. Other key nations are expected to follow. This potentially will have a devastating impact on the U.S. currency and result in its value plummeting.

While the BRICS nations had been planning this move for some time, with the weak leadership in D.C. they realized their time had come sooner than expected. Members of BRICS see this as an attempt to reshape the “world order” and decouple world trade away from the U.S. dollar and euro. If successful this will be a monumental financial coup d’état for the anti-United States contingent.

Benzinga reported, “The new currency’s introduction will inevitably impact world financial markets, potentially causing a redistribution of global currency reserves and affecting the demand for other major currencies like the U.S. dollar, euro and yen.”

Along with this nagging prospect, CNN reported that a hidden banking crisis could be on the horizon. It seems that non-bank financial institutions (pension funds, insurers and the like) are sitting on $239 trillion of global assets (or just under half of the total). These assets are coming under increasing financial risks as interest rates rise and credit losses rise.

As Indian columnist Majumder wrote, “India has long told the US that it is neither going to give up its decades of friendship with Russia, nor stop buying Russian arms and oil. . . .

“Saudi Arabia is willing to deal in currencies other than the dollar for the first time. Chinese and French energy companies completed the first-ever deal on liquefied natural gas using the renminbi yuan currency. . . .

“The Reserve Bank of India recently allowed central banks from 18 countries to open special Vostro Rupee Accounts to settle payments in Indian rupees.”

Depleting America’s Oil. In his first two years in office, President Biden has not only tried to destroy America’s energy independence but he has drained the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve by 42 percent, from 638 million barrels (mb) to 371mb, the lowest level of reserves since November 1983. However, in 1983, the SPR stocks were rising, not falling. The considered full capacity of the SPR is 714mb, although SPR reached 726.53mb in June 2011, the highest on record.

Since the Obama years, China has been one of the favorite destinations of American produced oil. So much so, that in January 2012, Unipec, a subsidiary of Sinopec, China’s huge energy conglomerate, established its American office in Houston, TX.

During the eight years George W. Bush’s presidency, China was the recipient of 39.4mb of American oil. Under the two terms of President Barrack Obama the U.S. oil sales to China mushroomed 8 times to 315mb. Under President Trump’s four-year term they doubled from the Obama years to 632.94mb. In Biden’s first two years in office, oil exports to China, including sales from the SPR, were 461.54mb. Prior to President Clinton granting China a Most Favored Nation trading partner, China received no U.S. oil. See the charts below.

With the war in Ukraine dragging on and the potential for mega wars between China and Taiwan, North Korea and South Korea, Iran (and its proxies) and Israel, that would most likely involve the United States, America can ill-afford draining its SPR and selling its oil to its number one enemy.

To further exasperate the issue, OPEC nations recently decided to cut their oil production by 1.66mb per day. The effect has been a rise in oil prices above $80/barrel and analysts foreseeing $100/barrel in the near future. If Biden is sincere in wanting to refill the SPR it will come at a much higher price to the U.S. taxpayer.

However, this is not the biggest hole in America’s frontline security. Guess who has been linked to Unipec/Sinopec? The Biden cabal via good ole Hunter Biden and his “investment” company. In July 2022, “Republicans on the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Wednesday demanding to know why the Biden administration sold oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese company linked to Hunter Biden’s investment firm.”

The Committee members, of course, were more than just curious as to why Unipec received billions of dollars from a Hunter-connected investment firm and the subsequent exportation of oil from the SPR via Unipec to China. A hefty deal that was likely to enrich the pockets of Hunter Biden.

“This transaction is even more troubling given that evidence continues to mount showing the Biden family peddled access to the highest levels of government to enrich themselves,” added Rep. James Comer (R-KY).

The big question: With a potential war looming with China via its assault on Taiwan, is Biden’s oil exports to China, especially if they are to enrich his son (and maybe his own pocket), tantamount to “aiding and abetting” the enemy of the United States?

Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,”

for we are members of one another.
