Hello Helen,
My comprehension on Ron saying he would not have any foreign aid because we should not be telling anyone else how to live and also it took money from the poor in the US to give to the rich in the foreign countries.
The Govt should be allowed to run their own countries without outside influence telling them what or how to do it. There is such a action of talking diplomatory to teach/educate share techniques and ideas.
I have seen this a lot over the years e.g. charity groups sending food and aid and it gets hijacked or insiders stealing and placed on the black markets, the aid never gets to the people whom need it. These Govts also expect and take for granted they will get overseas aid and don't take responsibility for their own citizens, so that gives them the licence to hold extravagant banquets for other countries Heads of State while their own people are starving. - I have always felt that I was condoning these atrocities whether by my personal consent or not just by my Govt engaged in sending.
My feelings have been to teach people 'how to fish and they will be able to feed themselves' not just give them the fish. Jesus taught this simple lesson. Something went wrong because some of the Christian Ministries have gone in over the centuries and decades to different countries and 'forced christianity' upon the people. This creates resentment, no wonder there is hostility - take over bullies does not work. People are more inclined to come over to your way of thinking from witnessing your actions to your talk.
That does not mean that we do not lend assistance when needed - upon disasters - earthquakes, tidal waves etc but we should not come in like the 'star of the show' and take over - ask what aid they need and give it willingly.
I have never heard Ron speak negatively from his own lips anti-antisemitism. I have been following him since he came on my radar quarter way of this year and listened to old videos to learn as much about him as possible. Why wasn't it known to most of the general public he was standing, as this is his 3rd time,.. I never ever heard of him, and nor had vast amounts of others. It has been through alternative social media that I heard about him. That states volumes to me how the MSM keeps people out of the news of the public and how they sabotage candidates, people, groups etc they are TOLD not to like or report negatively on with propaganda.
While I think of it - it was alternative media that I heard bad vibes of Norman Cain not MSM whom at first I assumed (which I shouldn't because it makes an Ass out U and Me)
Yes I believe God is still very much in control and we need to remember this - as so often we have gone in (our own personal actions and even collectively) to save the day without really even waiting for Jesus to answer our prayers.
US and people have rejected God on more ways than I can list and I reckon we are receiving the disciplinary actions upon the country that He said He would do..The many christians are luke warm and are in asleep or in willful denial because I speak to many people in person as well as post on social media and my so called friends are too busy writing about 'fluff' I could slap them with a wet noodle to wake them up if I could reach through the monitor screen!
I did several studies of Derek Prince back in NZ and I really enjoyed and understood his ministry so easy to follow - and yesterday I listened to a couple of videos (2 hours each) that a friend posted on Facebook.
Here is his
website if you would like look further. The last days is hard for me to write about without lots of scripture and this is probably not the thread to do this. - but I did want to respond to you.

Hello Amanda and everyone
I agree with much that you said, Amanda, but there is one thing that bothers me and it is Ron Paul's stance concerning Israel but then like he said one time, Israel might do better without the USA telling them how to live. Then they can decide to nuke Iran, build settlements where they wish, keep what little land they have left, and the best part, God can show the world His glory and His power when he intervenes on behalf of Israel.
The Bible says there will be much destruction in Israel in the last days with lives lost and women 'ravished' ...but a remnant will be saved. I don't think anyone can deny that we are in the last days. Then the Bible goes on to say that the Jews, killed by what is said to possibly be a Nuclear attack, will be brought back to life, if I understand it all correctly.
Maybe it is necessary that the US needs to be out of the way in these last days.
