I am certain Russia will invade...and in days..not weeks Concernedforusa . I am just curious and not looking to argue but if Russia invades the Ukraine would you regard this as a good or a bad action; would you thin it was moral, that God would approve? As I say I am not looking to disagree I was just curious how far Russian people generally would think. Also if Russian forces try to reclaim the Baltic States, would you agree with this, would you think it moral, that God would approve, would Russian people generally approve? Also would the Russian Orthodox Church approve such actions?
One thing I am learning from my Ukrainian friends....The U.S. and Canada are taking refugees IF THEY HAVE A PASSPORT. SO...the problems are that the passports there are not valid for as long as US/Canadian passports, so many have expired and no passports are being given now.... So, its escape underground or head for the hills, which many are doing. What a wake up call to be in a state of sanctifying grace! Only those rich enough to get the mafia to get them out will escape.
I have an idea that the Ukrainians will resist much , much more fiercely and with more of a degree of success that will astonish people and embarrass the West profoundly. The West w2ill want to stand by and wring their hands shedding crocodile tears at a very,very swift takeover. But the Crimea was deceptive. The Ukrainians will show amazing courage and stamina for war. Victory is always in the hand of God, not men. People fighting for their homeland tend to be worth ten of any invader.
I have to disagree with you on this statement MS7 "Obama will sit on his hands and say, "Nuthin I can do..." The enemy has literally tricked all into thinking its 'none of our business" what happens over there..." Obama will not 'say nothing' he will, as usual, talk tough and do nothing. This is what wieners do.
O la la la..... if the messages in "locutions.org" are from Heaven, then we can conclude that Putin is evil.... I am very sorry but I do not know anymore what I have to think: http://rt.com/news/crimea-referendum-reaction-putin-222/ and especially about this: http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20140328_01045122 but you will have to translate it into English.... http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/mar/28/steven-seagal-vladimir-putin-ukraine http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/mar/28/why-putin-crimea-strategy-west-villain
Elisa, you have a big heart. Follow it. Do not worry about war and rumors of war, for they will always come. Keep in prayer and you will be in peace regardless of what happens. Our Blessed Mother has spoken so often on this...our need to not discourage over what will take place in the world. We must prepare with prayer and penance. That is all that is being asked. I rarely watch news or TV anymore, because it takes my peace of heart away. Be at peace.
Fatima says: "I rarely watch news or TV anymore, because it takes my peace of heart away. Be at peace." Yes you are right. I am going to stop this. It takes all your energy. But locutions.org do worry me a bit.... Well I will flee now in the arms of Jesus and Mary, there is no better place to hide. Divine Peace be with you too.
Personally, I take LTTW with a grain of salt. I feel they are way to sensational, which GSWYL messages to Verne warn against. Way to trivial talk coming from "heaven" for me. I could be wrong, but I don't feel comfortable with some of the messages like I did when I first was reading/studying them.
I have just made a small research on Google for "GSWYL" (http://www.godspeakswillyoulisten.org/). I never heard of these messages before. Why do you think these messages are from Heaven ? Could you perhaps explain ?
Elisa, I would be happy to tell you why. These messages were brought to this forum, (can't remember by whom, but I owe them a debt of gratitude), and I began to read them. GSWYL home page is mostly about Verne's friend Cletus who was a very holy man, though illiterate in his ability to write fluidly. Verne's gift's are well spoken of in the a thread on this forum called Cletus Schefers. I have read them completely, twice, and several messages many times more. These messages are profound to me, because they fill in the gaps of all the other prophecy that I have read over the past 30 years of my studies. For instance, on the 3rd secret of Fatima and the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary our Lord made these come to light with new, clear, revelation. Every message that God spoke to Verne is profound to me. Down to earth to me. They spoke of the great Warning message of Garabandal, the chastisements of Akita and triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at Fatima throughout his locutions. I know others on MOG forum have felt the same. I will say this much. If I had to have one compendium of prophetic writings, outside of scripture, that I want at my side, if I had to leave my home to a place of refuge, it would be God's messages to Verne. They are thee writings for our times as far as I am concerned.
A part of Wednesday's first reading really struck me: "I teach you the laws and customs that you are to observe in the land you are to enter and make your own. Keep them, observe them, and they will demonstrate to the peoples your wisdom and understanding. When they come to know of all these laws they will exclaim, "No other people is as wise and prudent as this great nation." And indeed, what great nation is there that has its gods so near as the Lord our God is to us whenever we call to him?" Deuteronomy, 4 The western world is in many ways one nation now. If we observed the laws and customs our Father gave us then all other nations would look at us and say "no other people is as wise and prudent". Instead we have the 'celebration' of the first homosexual marriages in England and Wales, the holocaust of aborted babies, wide-spread divorce, etc, etc, etc. Putin/Russia is just one of the peoples looking at the western world and saying "no other people is as foolish ans reckless". Our nations will always be vulnerable as long as we persist in living outside the law of God. Today Putin, tomorrow???
I did NOT say that the Chinese have a case, neither they nor Putin have one their claims are equally weak/non-existent. (As to Palestine, it was almost empty when the Jews turned up, they created a land worth occupying by irrigation and applying their horticultural skills and introducing light industry etc. etc. etc. but that was never relevant to this matter, you brought it up for some reason - can we stick to the point?) On second thought, you are making my point more effectively than I did. If EVERY nation just moves its armed forces into lands that it believes it is historically entitled to, then Europe would be in flames, Germany would fight France and Poland again. The Irish army would march north. The Hungarians would be at war with three countries, England would retake Normandy, Spain would take parts of Portugal, Austria would take northern Italy and on and on and on.
VERY, VERY GOOD NEWS!! Having trouble viewing this email? Click here Dear Marti, God has taken 40 Days for Life to some unexpected places during the past six years – but none quite so unexpected as Russia. The second 40 Days for Life campaign in Moscow is now going on …. and there are plans for more Russian campaigns in the future. Robert Colquhoun, our international outreach director, just visited Moscow to encourage the volunteers there. Here’s Robert’s report from the capital of Russia. Moscow, Russia It was a great trip! I enjoyed meeting Arevik, the local leader in Moscow, and enjoyed their kind hospitality. I also met Anastasia, who wants to start a campaign in St. Petersburg. A number of other cities have also followed on board praying for life. A press conference at the Interfax news agency was the highlight of the trip. It was a bit odd to have a receptive national media willing to spread your message– as opposed to the UK and the US. At this event, Arevik spoke about the history of abortion in Russia and how that has shaped people’s values and mentality. In 1920, Russia became the first country in the world to legalise abortion. For several generations of women, Arevik said, abortion was the primary means of birth control. Abortion became the norm, and a significant portion of the population believes that a person’s life begins at birth, not conception. I was able to meet with Father Dimitry, an Orthodox priest, and Bishop Matts-Ola Iskhoel, the senior pastor of Word of Life Church in Moscow, which is Arevik’s church. This church is well organised, with about 4,000 members and seven churches in Moscow. The Moscow vigil has been beset by challenges. For one thing, public prayer is something totally inconceivable in Russia. In addition to that, the police have not granted permission for the vigil this year, apart from having a small number of people for a very restricted period. The police stopped some of the prayer volunteers on the first day because of this. However, they are still praying around the corner and keeping the vigil going. Last year, they conducted the vigil more anonymously; but this year, they wanted to have signs. Freedom of expression is not something that is deeply enshrined in Russia. But Arevik hopes this will change over time. In short, the Russian volunteers are doing great in adverse situations – and hats off to them! Thanks to Robert Colquhoun for this special look at 40 Days for Life in Russia. Today's devotional is from Carmen Pate of Alliance Ministries. Day 25 intention Pray that God will bless us with His gift of strength as we respond in obedience to His call. Scripture Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, "surely we did not know this," does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds? — Proverbs 24:11-12 Reflection by Carmen Pate In this age of technologically advanced communication, ignorance of human rights abuses is no excuse. We know there are persecuted Christians in China, there is genocide in Darfur, and there are babies aborted and women and families devastated right in our own communities. "But I can't save them all," you say. God isn't asking you to. He has equipped each of us with time, talent, and treasure to do what we can when He provides the opportunity. He has given us His Holy Spirit to empower us as we abide in Him. He is asking us to be on His side in speaking out and protecting those who can't protect themselves. When we are obedient to His calling to get in on the work He is doing, we will experience intimacy with Him in a whole new way. Our faith will increase as we see God at work! You have responded to His call during this 40 Days for Life campaign. Let your efforts be for His pleasure and His purposes. Pray without ceasing! Prayer God Almighty, we pray for continued guidance and strength as we intercede on behalf of the young women and their babies who are stumbling to the slaughter. Open the eyes of the mother's heart to see her child as you do — a precious gift to be treasured. Let her feel Your loving arms around her and may she be assured that you have a plan and a future for her and her child. Give her reason not to enter the abortion clinic. Give her wisdom and discernment to find life options through a local pregnancy care center and may she boldly choose life. Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayer. Because of Your Son's sacrifice we pray, Amen.

27 March 2014 Last updated at 20:12 ET BBC: Vladimir Putin: The rebuilding of ‘Soviet’ Russia INCREDIBLE LIES!! WOW!--MARTI http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26769481?post_id=1476845607_10203629345202316#_=_ Extracts from Putin speech, March 2014 It was only when Crimea ended up as part of a different country that Russia realised that it was not simply robbed, it was plundered. Many years later, I heard residents of Crimea say that back in 1991 they were handed over like a sack of potatoes. This is hard to disagree with. And what about the Russian state? What about Russia? It humbly accepted the situation. This country was going through such hard times then that realistically it was incapable of protecting its interests. There was not a single armed confrontation in Crimea and no casualties. Why do you think this was so? The answer is simple: because it is very difficult, practically impossible to fight against the will of the people. Our Western partners, led by the United States of America, prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun. They have come to believe in their exclusivity and exceptionalism, that they can decide the destinies of the world, that only they can ever be right.
My mother used to say to us as kids, 'Two wrongs do not make a right '. As Pope John 23rd said in his letter, 'Peace on Earth' in a nuclear age war is no longer a moral option. Because we risk blowing up the entire planet. In this case, without a direct intervention of God, we will. This is why Mary was sent from Heaven. Because we have run out of options,
Russia doesn't have to fire one shot to win this war: 28 March, 18:29 Russia’s secret weapon: crashing US economy by collapsing petrodollar © Photo: Voice of Russia Russia can collapse the United States, prominent US trader Jim Sinclair believes. The economist, famous for his forecasts, explains that the strength of the dollar is based on the US agreement with Saudi Arabia that all contracts for fuel deliveries be in the US dollars. Now, Moscow can collapse the petrodollar in one moment. The slapping of sanctions on Russia is tantamount to a shot in the foot. The expert explains that the only true value in the world today is the petrodollar. But Russia can collapse it by demanding Euros or Yuan for its oil. What’s more, the US may lose its influence on Europe for good, if Russia starts selling its fuels for anything but the dollars. Angela Merkel would be only happy, for Germany, as well as other European countries would then have no need for currency markets. The rate of the Euro would then grow, while the cost of oil and gas would go down. But the United States should be ready for an abrupt increase in gasoline prices, for hyperinflation amid a poor business climate and a crash of the Dow Jones industrial average, Sinclair predicts. But does Moscow need this kind of scenario? One of the tough measures that the West said it would resort to should be cutting Russia off the SWIFT interbank payment system. But should this happen, the sanctions would hit hardest their own authors, says a Stock Market Chair Professor at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, Alexander Abramov, and elaborates. "Technically, it is pretty easy to cut Russia off the SWIFT system by blocking Russian banks’ IP addresses. But SWIFT is one of the main systems that banks use for international payments. Hardly anyone in the US or Europe would like to resort to this kind of move, since banks are interrelated. If Russian banks are unable to use the system, they will fail to make timely payments to their western counter parties, which will prove quite a shock to the financial system. Now, this is by far more real a threat than using Euros to pay for oil. I think the financial world, which has just started emerging from the crisis, can’t be happy about these kinds of shocks". Now, Moscow would not have to exert itself to retaliate for sanctions, says the director of the analytical service of the Alpari Company, Alexander Razuvayev, and elaborates. "Russia accounts for a large share of the energy market, above all, in Europe. Russia is also paid in dollars for its gas deliveries, and only partly in Euros. Russia therefore props up foreign currencies by accepting those for its oil and gas supplies. Well, energy markets were formed quite some time ago, so Russia accepted the rules of the game. But since Russia sells its own raw materials, it can change these rules. At least Russian state-run companies, such as Rosneft and Gazprom considered that option in late 2008. But, of course, this kind of move would only prove suitable in an extreme situation". Russia is fully in control of the petrodollar and could cause the Dow Jones industrial average to plummet as it has never done before. One can wave the Stars and Stripes as long as one likes, but it’s a fact that the Russians can turn the US economy upside down, Sinclair warns. So far, Moscow has been in no rush to resort to extreme measures. Russia is going to react in a mirror-like way, - to retaliate with a blacklist of US officials for a US list of Russian officials. The West’s economic bans have thus far failed to prove too grave, so they rather cause Russians to mobilize themselves. For instance, when Visa and MasterCard boycotted some Russian banks for a short while recently, the Russian authorities took the decision to set up Russia’s own payment system shortly. Meanwhile, serious partners with a long history of cooperation, such as Siemens, are signing new contracts and are not about, or so it seems, to shoot themselves in the foot.

If this is true as I believe, what are the implications and what does it mean? 7 March, 13:42 Snipers shooting at both sides in Kiev were hired by Maidan leaders © Photo: "Golos Stolitsy" The Ukraine crisis is far from being resolved; international attention is focused on Kiev and the Crimea and reader correspondence keeps coming in, with most supporting the people of Russia and Ukraine and Moscow’s stance on the issue. For example, Alastair Pamphilon in the UK wrote: “With the recent tensions erupting in Ukraine I believe there is nothing wrong with Vladimir Putin wishing to protect the civilians in the Crimean peninsula. I have read a lot of propaganda here in the UK in regards to what is going on in Ukraine which is only an attempt by the EU and USA to isolate the Russian Federation. The comments made by Obama, John Kerry, David Cameron and William Hague are totally hypocritical and they all seem to be suffering from short term memories. In August 2013 David Cameron said Britain must bomb Syria and now the same man says there is no excuse for outside military intervention in Ukraine. David Cameron has forgotten that Vladimir Putin halted this insane aggression in Syria from happening and is again trying to halt such aggression from escalating in Ukraine and Crimea region.” A lot of people are reacting to the leaked phone conversation between the EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and Estonian foreign affairs minister. From the conversation it’s apparent that the snipers who shot at protesters and police in Kiev were allegedly hired by Maidan leaders. You can listen to the leaked conversation and read the full article, providing further evidence of the snipers being hired by a third party at voiceofrussia.com. Meanwhile, here’s what our readers think. For example, Carlton Moore Robinson believes it’s the “Same situation in Syria, Iraq and Libya. Some architect is using the same script on the chessboard. Peaceful opposition side fires gun at government. Peaceful government side fires at citizens. Same gun kills both sides.” Michael Walsh wrote: “The blame for this carnage is certainly well placed. I now have the evidence which is incontestable. The Western media is completely silent on this breaking story. If they cannot launder a story in their favor they will blue pencil it. I have been saying time after time, this conflict is being fuelled by Western media with politicians - and snipers hanging on to the Western media’s tail.” Goh Ahwei chimed in: “They all knew and they all collaborated. These EU people and the UN and NATO must not be allowed anywhere near the Ukraine. A Fascist government installed in the middle of Europe by the US. They must be crushed before they consolidate power.” Read more: http://voiceofrussia.com/radio_broadcast/244437429/268420202/

The ministry made the announcement on Monday after a meeting in Paris on Sunday between US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during which they agreed to solve the Ukrainian crisis through negotiations. “In recent days, the Russian forces have been gradually withdrawing from the border,” the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s general staff spokesman, Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskiy, said. Dmytrashkivskiy added that he could not confirm how many soldiers were involved or the number of troops still stationed in the border area. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian Defense Ministry official noted that Kiev had not been formally informed of the drawdown by Moscow. “This could be linked to a regular rotation of soldiers,” said Dmytrashkivskiy, adding, “Or it may be linked to the Russian-US negotiations.” Earlier, the US and EU officials had estimated that Russia might have 30,000 to 40,000 troops near the border. However, Kiev's Center for Military and Political Studies analyst Dmytro Tymchuk suggested on Monday that Moscow had 10,000 soldiers stationed near Ukraine by Monday morning. The Ukrainian crisis began last November, after the country’s then president, Viktor Yanukovych, refrained from signing an Association Agreement with the European Union in favor of closer ties with neighboring Russia. The refusal triggered months of unrest and clashes with the police, which finally led to the ouster of Yanukovych on February 23. He then travelled to Russia, where he was given sanctuary. Tensions between the Western powers and Moscow heightened after Crimea declared independence from Ukraine and formally applied to become part of the Russian Federation following a referendum on March 16, in which nearly 97 percent of Crimeans voted for reunion with Russia
