Oil Conflict Ukraine vs. Russia

There is a war brewing in the eastern Donets'k region of Ukraine over who the country should look to or submit to, as a center of government....the East or West. The western and more liberal portion of Ukraine recognizes a partnership with Poland, whilst the eastern portion is more populated by Russian speaking Ukrainian citizens that recognize the Eastern border neighbor, Russia. These divisions have long-standing roots. During the 16th and 17th centuries, for instance, much of Ukraine was under the control of the Poland-Lithuania. This country, which at one point constituted the largest nation in Europe, declined in the 18th century and was eventually partitioned by its stronger neighbors Prussia, Russia, and Austria. Interestingly enough the western portion of Ukraine has strong ties to Europe including Poland, Italy, and Germany and all have very large 75 billion+ discounted trade agreements with Russia for their natural gas. The problem for me is that Ukraine, is a considerably small country of 233,090 sq mi (ref: Texas 268,820 square miles) and over half of that wants to join Russia. The other half wants to maintain ties to Poland (read: Europe and ultimately The United States), regain control over the eastern region, and still maintain the agreement for discounted gas prices...this, for me, is either two faced or serving two masters... Rep. Ted Poe says 'Cold War II' Is Coming. Mar. 22, 2014 - According to Ted Poe, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee,

"the Ukraine issue is causing another Cold War."

He said,

"We're in Cold War II. The Russians know it ... but I don't think the United States knows it."

He suggested that the U.S. might be able to make progress in this situation by providing natural gas to European NATO nations. This would lessen their dependence on Russian energy and allow them to stand against further aggression from Putin. I actually agree on this reccomendation, absent the recommended resouces available to supply the 2.2 trillion cubic feet (per year) of natural gas that europe will require. The U.S. has on reserve 223 billion barrels of oil equivalents, which include crude oil and gas currently, so it is possible to offer a portion of the reserve as a resource. However, and importantly noted, that this is not a smart strategy when thrawting off war. Ukraine has long been recieving gas from Russia for discounted prices in exchange to utilize the Crimea port and land, which sounds quite fair personally, and to cry wolf to the United States when no bloodshed has occured is not fair to the soldiers and citizens that could potentially lose thier lives behind a conflict that surronds divided civilly, and is a local issue. Only in this issue does Leslie the Barber agree, becuase Ted Poe is famous for racist statements including comparing immigrants to grasshoppers, quoting the Klu Klux Klan Grand Master Nathan Bedford Forrest on the Senate Floor, and because Ted Poe has sentenced over 20,000 criminals as former 228th Felony District Court judge. Nationally Poe is renowned as a firm believer in harsh punishment and in humiliating criminals, ordering thieves to carry signs in front of stores from which they stole; required men who abused their wives to publicly apologize on the steps of Houston's City Hall; commanded sex offenders to place warning signs on their home after serving jail time; and directed murderers to securely place a photo of their victims on the wall of their prison cells, creating a daily reminder of their crime. He voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006 and against the DREAM Act when it was introduced in 2010. More recently, he opposed the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, calling it "an imperial decree to unilaterally ignore portions of the immigration law of the land". He is the sponsor of the Deport Foreign Convicted Criminals Act of 2011 (H.R. 3256), which would provide for denial of immigrant and non-immigrant visas to nationals of countries which have "refused or unreasonably delayed repatriation" of persons ordered deported from the United States.

Revelation 13:14

This second beast fooled people on earth by working miracles for the first one. Then it talked them into making an idol in the form of the beast that did not die after being wounded by a sword.

Black Hebrew Israelite into West Africa - Thalassemia Disease

Recently, I began sketching out my family tree and the research finding are quite interesting to say the least. Firstly, I am able to identify via U.S. Census my great great great grandmother Betty Thomas, born 1866. Start your own Family Tree. Tracing my lineage was prompted by reading the lineage of Jesus and seeing how important ancestry and history are to God's chosen people. For some time now I have been researching the possiblity that I may be a member of the Lost Tribe of Judah that have been prophesied to suffer the curses of dispbedience as described in Deutoronomy 28. Unfortunatley I cannot proove nor deny that I actually am, however I have two valid reasons why I may be. First Reason: I am a descendant of slaves brought to america from africa. My grandmother described to me that she and her family would pick cotton at harvest time to make money and that her parents and grandparents were slaves near giddings Texas. That my ancestors suffered captivity and I am from that I can conclude that I can identify with the scattering, captivity, and subsequent oppression. Second Reason: I have thalassemia. I got the trait from my father who also is a desendant from slavery. Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder. People with Thalassemia disease are not able to make enough hemoglobin, which causes severe anemia. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells and carries oxygen to all parts of the body. When there is not enough hemoglobin in the red blood cells, oxygen cannot get to all parts of the body. Organs then become starved for oxygen and are unable to function properly. Thalassemia is a complex group of diseases that are relatively rare in the United States but common in Mediterranean regions and South and Southeast Asia. I came to know when I began having children and tests were run on my blood to look for possible genetic problems. Each healthcare worker would be so confused at how a black woman in america could possibly have this blood disease when the origin of the disease is in the mediterranean. I was so perplexed at how this might happen so with a little research I located a term called 'Thalassemia Belt' which describes the areas of origin as being basically surronding Israel, lower europe, asia minor, Egypt, North Africa and West Africa, particularly Senegal, Sierra Leonne, and Liberia. When I read the information, I knew that this important information could assist in identifying those suffering under the curses as prophesied. Why I think this information important is blacks in America wish not to be identified as being of Africa, but as I grow to know history and how it relates to the bible prophecy I cannot help but to share the information. Often I feel less than confident when speaking about the Tribe of Judah, where they were scattered and if it were actually possible to reach West Africa from Israel prior to the Atlantic Slave Trade. I am confident now in that I have a genetic blood disorder that originates from the areas near Ancient Judea. p
