I don’t think anyone with the sense God gave a goose could argue that there isn’t a moral collapse in America and within western civilisation as a whole.

Across borders, cultures, and languages; western societies are succumbing to an entirely relativistic and secular mindset.

After nearly two generations of secularization by forced government indoctrination through educational institutions, their plans are nearing completion.

This can be seen in the acceleration of the sexual perversions of the Pansexualism now prevelant within and across divergent western societies.

Also in the stripping away of the foundational Biblical morals, standards, and ethics which have for so long been a bedrock upon which western civilisation rests.

When the foundation of a house is shattered it isn’t long before the building itself will collapse.
Western civilisation is nearing that point where the building is going to collapse.
The when, only God knows. I just pray people know their Savior, Jesus, because without a relationship with Him, no amount of preparation is going to be enough.

Fearmongering and fear baiters will always have a market in the minds of men because of human nature and sin.
It’s written that perfect love casts out fear, that love is the love of Christ within the believer, expressed in our daily life shown toward others.
We are told not to fear nor fret, yet we are never told to be stupid or ignorant about the world in which we live.
We are told to be wise as serpents and as harmless as doves.
We are told that a prudent man will see the storm coming and prepare accordingly.

Dear reader, the storm is coming, in some places it’s already raging.
That storm is not only the collapse of western civilisation but also the fall and collapse of Christianity.

Across continents people of both Christian and Jewish faiths are being persecuted and killed. Hundreds of millions of believers are subjected to harm, ridicule, being ostracized and separated from their families and communities.
Converts are being raped or killed. They are losing everything as well as their lives, all for the sake of their faith in a living Savior.
In western societies Christians are being drug through the courts, fined, and jailed for their faith.
People of faith, in nearly every country, being pushed to the periphery of society. Ridiculed, humiliated, and ostracized, these faithful strive to continue living their lives for the One who suffered for them.

Those reprobate leaders of the western christendom cry for compromise. Turning the gospel of Christ into nothing more than toilet paper to be flushed.
Those reprobates push the same Pansexualism the world has come to embrace while denying the Holiness of a righteous loving Creator.
Judgment is coming, it is already near, banging at the door ready to engulf a corrupted and wicked people.

So the question is, where do you stand?

Do you stand, as a believer, prepared for the storm or do you continue on as a fool denying the Grace, wisdom, and knowledge the Lord is giving you to prepare?

Living in denial of the inevitable isn’t going to stop the storm from striking your comfort zone.
Thinking you do not need to prepare flies in the face of Scripture.
Thinking it will not happen is denying historical facts and evidence.
Saying that some people are predestined to suffer yet you may not be goes against the words of our Savior.

Again, so where do you stand?

People participate in the 19th annual “Way of the Cross Over the Brooklyn Bridge Ceremony” in New York City April 18, 2014. The ceremony, hosted yearly on the Christian holy day of Good Friday, includes walking from St. James Cathedral, over the Brooklyn Bridge to St. Peter’s Church in Manhattan. The event attracts approximately 2,000 people each year.

A small, but elite group of Americans demonstrate signs of anti-Christian hostility, sociologists David Williamson and George Yancey claim in their new book, So Many Christians, So Few Lions: Is There Christianophobia in the United States?

In an email interview with The Christian Post, Yancey, professor of sociology at the University of North Texas, explained that Christians are fortunate in one sense, because those with anti-Christian hostility are small in number; but in another sense, they should be concerned, because those with “Christianophobia” tend to be powerful elites with influence in certain important areas, such as higher education.

The data for their research comes from a large national survey, the American National Election Survey, and interviews they conducted with members of liberal advocacy organizations.

The title of the book is a reference to how some Christians were put to death during the Roman Empire, and the phrase can be found on bumper stickers. Several of the interviewees used some variant of the “so few lions” theme when describing their attitudes toward Christians.

Yancey added that he and Williamson, associate professor of sociology at the University of North Texas, hope their book will make those who are hostile toward Christians more aware of their own biases so that they can correct them.

Here is a transcript of that interview:

CP: Why did you, and co-author David Williamson, want to research and write about anti-Christian hostility?

Yancey: There is a lot of literature on hostility toward many different groups but just about none on hostility toward Christians. Yet when we collected qualitative data from cultural progressive activists we quickly saw some of the unnecessary vitriol and fears within many of our respondents. We also saw the social status of those who exhibited this hatred and many of them would be in positions that allowed them to at least subtly act on their anger and fears. That motivated us to take a more systematic look at Christianophobia and speculate on how this phenomenon influences certain social aspects in the United States.

Another aspect that drove me to work on this project was that while I consistently saw evidence of Christianophobia in other areas of my life and in our society, unlike other types of intolerances, those who exhibited Christianophobia do not tend to think that they are intolerant. Usually those who do not like blacks or Muslims admit that they are intolerant but simply try to justify their intolerance. Those with Christianophobia tend to deny that they are intolerant but rather that they are fairly interpreting social reality. Envisioning themselves as fair and free of intolerance allows them to blame those they detest rather than recognize how their emotions have distorted their intellectual judgments.

By documenting just how hateful some of the attitudes are toward Christians, and who tends to have such hateful attitudes, I hope to bring Christianophobia into the light so that we, as a society, can discuss this social problem and how we might address bigotry in all of its myriad forms.

CP: You found that there’s a subset of progressives, or liberals, that have animosity toward Christians, or “Christianophobia.” According to them, what is wrong with Christians?

Yancey: In the minds of many of the respondents Christians are ignorant, intolerant and stupid individuals who are unable to think for themselves. The general image they have of Christians is that they are a backward, non-critical thinking, child-like people who do not like science and want to interfere with the lives of everyone else.

But even worse, they see ordinary Christians as having been manipulated by evil Christian leaders and will vote in whatever way those leaders want. They believe that those leaders are trying to set up a theocracy to force everybody to accept their Christian beliefs. So, for some with Christianophobia, this is a struggle for our society and our ability to move toward a progressive society. Christians are often seen as the great evil force that blocks our society from achieving this progressive paradise.

CP: Demographically, you found that Christianophobes are mostly white, wealthy, well-educated and non-religious. Is the fact that this is mostly an elite group good or bad for Christians? In other words, given a choice, would you rather be hated by elites or non-elites?

Yancey: Obviously all things being equal, an elite individual can do more damage to a person than a non-elite individual. But this does not mean that Christians have it worse than all other groups. We also have to factor in the number of people with Christianophobia. For example, more people have hostility toward atheists than toward Christians, but those individuals do not tend to be white or highly educated. Thus, they do not have the level of per-capita power of those who do not like Christians.

So is a group worse off if more people do not like them or if those who do not like them have a lot of social power, but there are fewer of them? Context matters to answer such a question. If you want to get elected to political office, then atheists are at a disadvantage since more people do not like them. But if you want to get a higher education, then you will run into a lot more people with power who hate Christians than who hate atheists.

CP: Can your findings help us understand the recent trend of “intolerant liberalism,” such as the examples The Christian Post noted in, “33 Examples of Intolerant Liberalism in 2014”?

Yancey: That is an interesting list and, to be fair, some of the examples are just political gamesmanship that you see from both Republicans and Democrats, such as the disinviting of Charles Murray. I am not even sure if Murray is a Christian.

There are other examples where it is less clear whether it is Christianophobia or something else, much like it is often hard for myself, as an African-American, to know when a person is acting due to racism or some other motivation. I think of the conflict over religious freedom laws in this way.

But there are some that I think are hard to defend, such as the policies at California colleges which have led to the removal of Christian groups. I have written about such policies and still fail to hear a solid reason why we should give an atheist the “right” to be the president of a Christian group. The only viable reason I can think is because this rule allows college administrators to express some degree of latent Christianophobia with a fiction of promoting equality.

Ultimately here is where the research that David and I conducted may be of service. We documented that some level of Christianophobia is present among certain powerful subcultures in our society. This helps us understand some actions in our society.

People do not like to admit that they are biased or bigoted but often those disaffinities come out in other ways. Because of the attention rightly paid to bigotry based on race, sexual preference, sex and even minority religion status, there is social pressure on those who take actions that may harm those groups to engage in introspection to make sure they are not being unfair.

I have seen a dearth of such introspection by those who make decisions that may harm Christians. I hope that this work will encourage such critical thinking among those with Christianophobia and perhaps help some to confront a bigotry they did not realize they possessed.

CP: Sociologist Peter Berger famously remarked that if Sweden is the most secular country and India is the most religious country, America has become a nation of Indians ruled by Swedes. At a Faith Angle Forum talk, he added, “many of the problems of America have to do with the fact that the Indians have become increasingly pissed off at the Swedes.” In some ways, your book seems to present a correlate to that: the Swedes “have become increasingly pissed off at the” Indians. Do you agree?

Yancey: I think that is a great way to think about it. I would put it this way: Because of their numbers the Indians historically had a lot of political and cultural power in our society. They may not be in the elite political positions but the Swedes in those positions could not afford to ignore what they wanted. The Swedes for years documented the excesses and biases of the Indians. Over time, they begin to look down on the Indians. But they also gained educational and cultural power and begin to ignore the concerns of the Indians. But the Swedes never considered that many of the social processes that produce bigotries in the Indians also can produce bigotries in themselves. They became quite adept at seeing social dysfunctions in the Indians but not in themselves.

While part of the reason for this book is to provide some insight to protect the Indians, I also see it useful for helping the Swedes engage in the introspection they need to deal with their own failings and to live by their own stated values.

Over the past couple of months, through the holidays, and into the New Year, I have sat and watched the news, listened to talk radio, and more often perused the multitude of alternative news websites.
I’ve spoken with some about my concerns with the state of this nation the Lord has blessed me with living in. Discussions about the economy and politics, but mostly about one subject which leaves the majority with that atypical “what?”.. expression.

With hours of prayer and more prayer, living off of the little wisdom our Creator has graced me with, asking for discernment, I think the Spirit has graced me with enough foresight to say it’s time for Christians to leave the United States of America.
The animus against believers has shown it is not going to abate anytime soon.
The wheat and the chaffe are being separated for the persecutions that will begin soon enough.
Globally Christians are the most persecuted religious group. In the United States true belivers are ridiculed and moved into the nebulous blob called “extremists”.
The falling away of the faithful has reached epidemic proportions. The Church in America has become a pawn of the state, due primarily to the 501C3.
The cold hearted churches will not call wickedness sin because the fear losing their tax exemption. Those dead churches no longer have the Spirit of GOD, instead they have become white washed tombs full of dead mens bones.

The truth about the detention camps stretching across America is well known to those willing to do  their own research.
It has been reported in the deepnet that unbeknown to the mindless public, that thousands of homeless have been apprehended in the dark of night and incarcerated in these camps.
This has been reported to have been going on for a number of years now. Some may think this is a good thing when in reality these people are reportedly killed and cremated.
Some may think this is not possible but those people are wrong. Simply google a news story of 10,000 chinese disappear in one night, this happened about five to eight years ago. A woman stood before Congress stating these facts.
You may not want to believe the story, myself, I believe it is very possible.

As the persecutions rise globally and the preplanned economic collapse draws the nations into war some may be asking where to go.
That dear reader is something the Spirit needs to give you the wisdom to know. Each persons needs are different, health concerns may keep some possibilities off limits. Being healthy may open numerous other doors.
Two primary requiremements though should at least be isolated, non-strategic areas. In these two types of environments you stand less of a chance of encountering regular military or policing authorities.

Surviving is the key, flourishing while in a survival scenario is an individuals choice based on their faith, their decisions, and their preparations and understanding of the times in which we live.

Our Savior said once, “Do not be surprised if the world hates you, because it hated Me first.”

Dear reader, persecution is coming, whether you desire it to or not. The United States is going to be judged for our individual and national collective sins, regardless of what you may think or feel.
Sin and wickedness cannot be psychologicalized away, GOD’s righteousness is what defines our judgments and HIS love and mercy will determine the severity of those judgments.

A search is underway for a man suspected in the fatal shooting of a pastor at a Florida church, as well as the murders of his wife and another woman at a nearby home. Authorities conducting the search are investigating a triple homicide on the state’s Gulf Coast.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of a church shooting around 1:20 p.m., according to a news release. While at the scene, they learned about two more people slain at a nearby home in Bradenton, located about 45 miles south of Tampa.

Police were searching for Andres “Andy” Avalos, 33, who may be armed and dangerous, Dave Bristow, a spokesman for the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office, told reporters.

He was last seen driving a gold 2003 Chevrolet Suburban in Bradenton, authorities said.

The male victim was James Battle, 31, a pastor at Bayshore Baptist Church in Bradenton, where the shooting occurred outside a residence on the grounds used as an office, Bristow said.

According to the church website, Battle went by the nickname “Tripp.” His wife was the church secretary, and they had two young children.

Also killed was Amber Avalos, 33, the wife of the suspect, who was the church’s nursery and children’s director, according to the website, which said she and her husband had six children.

Authorities said the children were in protective custody.

The third victim was identified as Denise Potter, 46, a neighbor, according to local media reports. The killings appeared to involve a domestic dispute, authorities told reporters.

Sorry, but this one you can’t blame on either party. Yes, President Obama has made the problem much, much worse, but the scary truth is the national debt keeps rising inexorably no matter who or which party is in office. That’s the new law of American politics.

When I first arrived in Washington in the early 1980s the debt was roughly $2 trillion. This week, 30 years and five presidents later, the debt exceeded for the first time $18 trillion. We have been in the red in all but four of the last 40 years.

That’s $18,000,000,000,000. We all know that $18 million is a lot of money. This is $18 million times another million. The number is so gigantic we won’t or can’t try to fathom it.

Why worry? We owe it to ourselves, we’re told. The mighty American economy is big enough to absorb it. This country was built on debt. There is no better time to borrow than when interest rates are at a 40-year low.

There’s some truth in all of these claims. Sure, we have a near $18 trillion economy, but the problem is the debt is outgrowing the economy.

In just the last seven years–the last under George W. Bush and the first six under Obama–the debt has increased by roughly $7.4 trillion. That’s 10 times the entire debt incurred in our first 200 years as a nation.

My view is that government debt isn’t always inherently evil. The wisdom of borrowing depends on what you use the money for.

We borrowed trillions (in today’s dollars) to win World War II. Surely it was worth it.
We borrowed another $1.8 trillion during the Reagan years to finance winning the Cold War and rebuild the private economy with growth hormone tax cuts. That has clearly benefitted future generations, so they should bear some of the cost.

But what we have bought with most our debt of the last two decades has been a bigger, more expansive welfare state. Almost half of all American households, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, get a government check or direct benefit from government today. More than one-third of households get some kind of unearned welfare.

Obama called his spend-and-borrow policies a “stimulus.” Really?

What do we have to show for Obama’s debts? Solyndra. Forty-six million on food stamps. The Obamacare debacle. Etc. Etc.

This is one of the first times in American history (the post-Vietnam War era is the other) that we have opened up the flood gates on borrowing even at a time when we’ve severely slashed the military budget.

Here is the biggest worry about an $18 trillion debt. What happens if/when interest rates start to drift back upward?

Answer: This is the economic equivalent of the nuclear option.

Each one percentage point rise in rates causes the U.S. deficit to rise by more than $1 trillion over 10 years. So a 300 basis point rise in rates–nothing more than a return to normalcy–would mean about $5 trillion in federal deficits.

If that happens, the debt-servicing costs grow astronomically and interest payments would become the biggest expense item in the budget. We start to pay more and more taxes just to finance past borrowing.

This is what happened in Detroit; look at how that turned out.

Maybe this debt bubble won’t burst. Let’s pray that it doesn’t. If it does, the 2008-09 real-estate crash could look like a picnic by comparison.

The politicians think they are pulling a fast one here, but the vast majority of Americans feel in their gut that the economy is headed in the wrong direction in no small part because of this debt time bomb.

It explains why Obama’s policies were so thoroughly routed during November’s midterm elections. A great nation doesn’t ring up unpaid bills month after month, year after year, decade after decade. The basic common sense of Americans tells them that you don’t borrow your way to prosperity.

Oh, and we’re still borrowing half a trillion a year so the debt will likely hit $20 trillion sometime before 2018. Have a nice day.

Charlie Butts (OneNewsNow.com) Wednesday, October 08, 2014

A t-shirt printer in Kentucky could be punished by a so-called human rights commission after refusing to print t-shirts for a homosexual group.

Hands on Originals owner Blaine Adamson was asked to print the shirts for the Lexington Pride Festival but declined. Instead, he found a printer willing to do the job and for the same price. But that wasn’t good enough – activists with the Gay and Lesbian Services Organization filed a complaint against Adamson before the commission, which is now expected to decide his fate.

Campbell, Jim (ADF)Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Jim Campbell tells OneNewsNow that Adamson has completed t-shirt orders for gay customers in the past but simply disagreed with the event.

In a press release, ADF explained that a judge concluded that Adamson violated a City of Lexington ordinance that forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation. Now the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission will decide Adamson’s guilt or innocence, and decide punishment.

“No one in America should be forced to express messages they disagree with,” argues Campbell, comparing Adamson’s situation to a black business owner forced to promote the racist message of the Klu Klux Klan.

“Or how about if we force a supporter of same-sex marriage to promote the idea that marriage is the union of a man and a woman,” Campbell says.

At the original hearing this summer, a spokesman for the homosexual group, citing the city ordinance, said a homosexual printer in Lexington would be forced to take a t-shirt order from Westboro Baptist Church. The notorious Kansas church demonstrates with signs that read, “God hates fags” among other hateful slogans.

On its website, ADF included a 30-second audio clip of the gay activist discussing Westboro and the Lexington ordinance.

Adamson’s legal troubles mirror a movie produced by American Family Studios, “Accidental Activist,” about a t-shirt printer whose business is targeted by homosexuals after he signs a petition defending traditional marriage.

A bit of social activism will soon take place in the streets to draw attention to black genocide.

Dr. Clenard Childress of the Life Education and Resource Network, or LEARN, says an average of 1,786 black children are killed every day by an abortion.

With that figure in mind, he says, the purpose of LEARN is to do more than just educating the public about black genocide.
Childress

“Also to point out the clear betrayal of our leadership and collaboration with the very entities that are decimating the African-American community,” he says, adding that it’s time for the black community to rally in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.

“And protest and declare that the killing must stop,” he says.

The Say So Marches will be in the nation’s capital and also in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. That addresses lawmakers and the courts but LEARN also wants to educate pastors in traditionally black churches to preach against black genocide.

Childress calls that “key.”

“We’re called to preach, to proclaim,” he says, “and when we’re silent it is counted by the masses as compliant, and that we’re condoning what’s going on. And pastors have sinned by their silence.”

Dr. Childress also draws attention to the support of abortion by the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus, both of which receive money from pro-abortion groups.

Professor Brian Cox, the rock star turned scientist, is an unlikely defender of the faith. But in a Telegraph interview today, the physicist and distinguished supporter of the British Humanist Association said: “there is naivety in just saying there’s no God”.

Cox was speaking about his latest series, The Human Universe, which begins on BBC Two this evening. In it he asks questions about man’s existence: Why are we here? How did the universe make us? Are we alone? What is our future?

When Cox was asked how religion fits into his understanding of the Universe, he said: “It doesn’t at all. I honestly don’t think about religion until someone asks me about it.”

Cox explained that the reason for this is that science is about asking small questions, rather than grand theorising. The answers to big questions come “almost accidentally” he said.

Although Cox said that he believed there was scientific proof that there isn’t an afterlife, he added: “Philosophers would rightly point out that physicists making bland and sweeping statements is naive.

“There is naivety in just saying there’s no God; it’s b******s,” he said. “People have thought about this. People like Leibniz and Kant. They’re not idiots. So you’ve got to at least address that.”

A former Catholic bishop of Hong Kong has warned of China’s growing influence and urged Christians to unite in the “fight” for democracy.

Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, who at 82 is one of the oldest campaigners to have joined the Occupy Central movement for democracy in the recent mobile-phone torchlit protests in the streets, warned that China’s influence is increasing “day by day”. He said Christians must be prepared to battle for their beliefs if religious freedom in the former British territory is not to become a thing of the past.

The cardinal, who served as bishop between 2002 and 2009 and has been active in the pro-democracy movement for decades, said: “Beijing are taking more and more control of Hong Kong, and going back on the promises of the constitution.

“All of these efforts, all of this courage to take risks and be ready to pay the price is because we are fighting for something very important. If [the Hong Kong leader is chosen by Beijing]…then he will surely do anything that the central authority commands.”

The Cardinal added that “the Communist party have no interest other than their own power, and they made whole people into slaves.”

The protestors are angry at the Chinese government’s insistence on screening political candidates to ensure their allegiance to the CCP.

It was hoped that open elections would be held in 2017, but a motion ruling against this was passed in August. Many locals believe this to contradict Beijing’s promise to one day allow Hong Kong “universal suffrage”.

Cardinal Zen spent days addressing the crowds, many of them students, and spent nights sleeping on the streets in the hopes of making the voice of the people of Hong Kong heard.
Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun speaking in London in 2006

“Beijing are taking more and more control of Hong Kong, and going back on the promises of the constitution,” he told Christian Today.

“All of these efforts, all of this courage to take risks and be ready to pay the price is because we are fighting for something very important. If [the Hong Kong leader is chosen by Beijing]…then he will surely do anything that the central authority commands.

“And [the CCP] are also corrupt, not only in the sense of bribery, but they also corrupt the culture, the way of life – people become materialistic, selfish, dishonest and ready to accept slavery,” he said.

“Everybody becomes desperate in their own field. This terrible culture is against what we have instilled here in Hong Kong in our education and in our schools. And in the long run, sooner or later – or very soon – we are going to become like in China, and that is terrible.”

Cardinal Zen, who was Shanghai born but moved to Hong Kong ahead of the CCP’s establishment in 1949, believes speaking out for democracy and freedom is a vital part of his Catholic faith, as well as his position in leadership.

“This is in the teaching of the church; the social teaching says that the participation of people is important,” he said.

“Because we care for human dignity, we are children of God and we can’t be made into slaves: that is the reason we must fight.”

This week the Occupy Central movement has appeared to be on the wane, with just a few hundred protestors – most of them students – remaining, and leaders said last night that they had agreed to hold talks with the government.

Cardinal Zen called on those still demonstrating to go home, but not to give up.

“At this moment, the students should retreat, because to retreat doesn’t mean to abandon the cause,” he explained.

“We have made the point, and we may still make our demands but we must rest a little…There is no way to reason with people who are simply unreasonable; we have to gather and think about the next steps. I think at this moment, one important thing is that we must understand that this movement does not belong to the students anymore, and nor does it belong to the promoters of the Occupy Central movement, but it belongs to the whole people.

“There should be a wider consultation, a commission, and then our voice will be stronger and we can make plans,” he said.

“For the moment, the battle is going to be long and we must be wise.”

The Cardinal’s main concern remains freedom of religion in Hong Kong, which hangs in the balance as Beijing makes its bid for power clear.

“At this moment, they have already taken away from the Church our right to run our schools. The next step maybe is to demand heavy taxes from churches, and then it will be the same as China. It is not at all impossible, and we are to fight now before it’s too late,” he said.

“It’s very dangerous, every day Beijing increases its influence. It’s already too late maybe, but at least now finally the people have awakened – the whole people are with us.”

ISIS Militants Come To Europe And America Disguised As Refugees

Muslim terrorists love to deceive. During the last Israel-Hamas conflict, you had Hamas “soldiers” dressing up like women and firing rockets from inside of active hospitals and children’s schools. In Syria now, they are mixing in with the people that they have made war refugees and sneaking into various European countries with the plan of carrying out terror attacks once there. In America, they are coming in through Obama’s open door on the US – Mexico border, to carry out attacks here on our shores. That’s why Obama refuses to seal our border, he wants it to be open so we can aid the poor, impoverished “Mexicans”. Dark days indeed.

Islamic State militants are planning to insert operatives into Western Europe disguised as refugees, claim US intelligence sources, who unencrypted locked communications of the caliphate’s leadership. The militant organization is afraid of using aircraft due to strict security rules, so they use land as an alternative, the US sources told Bild Am Sonntag, a German national Sunday newspaper.

“In view of the chaotic conditions on the Syria-Turkey border, it is nearly impossible to catch ISIS-terrorists in the wave of refugees,” wrote Bild Am Sonntag.

Disguised as refugees from Syria, Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) operatives will cross the border to Turkey. Then, using fake passports, they will travel further to European countries to conduct attacks.

Because hundreds of refugees cross the Syrian-Turkish border every day, the jihadists have a good chance of remaining unnoticed in the crowds.

Turkey is also used by jihadists who want to join the IS in Syria, as they don’t need a visa to get there. They go on ‘vacations’ as tourists and upon arrival have almost no trouble finding a way to cross the border.

According to one of Iraq’s foremost security experts with unique access to intelligence, at least 100,000 jihadists were fighting in the ranks of the IS in August.

There are some 15,000 foreign fighters from the IS in Syria alone, including 2,000 Westerners, a US intelligence official told AFP in September.

A definitive 20-year study into the effects of long-term cannabis use has demolished the argument that the drug is safe. Cannabis is highly addictive, causes mental health problems and opens the door to hard drugs, the study found.

The paper by Professor Wayne Hall, a drugs advisor to the World Health Organisation, builds a compelling case against those who deny the devastation cannabis wreaks on the brain. Professor Hall found:

One in six teenagers who regularly smoke the drug become dependent on it,
Cannabis doubles the risk of developing psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia,
Cannabis users do worse at school. Heavy use in adolescence appears to impair intellectual development
One in ten adults who regularly smoke the drug become dependent on it and those who use it are more likely to go on to use harder drugs,
Driving after smoking cannabis doubles the risk of a car crash, a risk which increases substantially if the driver has also had a drink,
Smoking it while pregnant reduces the baby’s birth weight.

Last night Professor Hall, a professor of addiction policy at King’s College London, dismissed the views of those who say that cannabis is harmless.
