Newt Gingrich predicts that the race to become the Republican nominee for president in 2012 will come down to him and Mitt Romney (no surprise, eh?), and it will be “a straight-out contest for the next four or five months.”
Reportage of and commentary on the 2012 Presidential race has made up the lion’s share of what has been broadcast over FOX, CNN, and MSNBC for months now. The verbal sparring matches between Gingrich and Romney, the primaries and the debates: these events are sucking the oxygen out of the other items that may be newsworthy as this first month of 2012 winds down and the world moves on to February and beyond.
Let us not be distracted. There is more here than meets the eye. America is growing more hungry, but it seems that it is not hungering for the truth. Many citizens are lacking and are led to seek the nine-digit jackpot through Powerball, Mega Millions, and other instant lottery games – but through the desperation brought about by lack those people may lose sight of the hope of eternal gold.
We must keep watch at the wall, but in that we need to see beyond the television, the newspaper and the internet, and the obsession with a presidential election. We must lift our hearts and arms upward, because the earth below our feet is but a bridge that is rickety and unstable, and ripe for collapse. Only the Bright Morning Star will illuminate the path that is solid and unshakable – away from the rickety, swinging bridge as this world aches, quakes, and groans through painful labor.
The odds of winning the nine-digit jackpot are stacked tall against us. Of course, that payout would meet immediate needs and substantially improve our quality of earthly life, but it could ultimately leave us again in lack. The dollars in the jackpot are on life-support, and could die at any time and become valueless.
America has learned a hard lesson that presidents are not saviors or messiahs. The current occupant of the White House was portrayed as both, and in that position he has conditioned a nation and the world to worship a charismatic, handsome, well-spoken man who would usher in peace and prosperity for all who are left behind to live in it.
The tongue will spit lies and the aforementioned peace and prosperity will be false when the true one world leader rises into power.
The media will cover the 2012 election and leave little room for anything else – unless an event so earth-shattering or catastrophic occurs and must be moved to the front burner of news reporting. If we look beyond the surface and toward Europe and the Middle East, we will see these news events forming today, and they will radically change America.

Jersey Shore, Miss America, Mitt Romney; three big names and exceedingly popular topics. Jersey Shore is of course the immensely popular reality television series that is considered a “cultural phenomenon” and is the all-time most viewed series telecast on MTV. (You remember; Music Television).
Newly-crowned 2012 Miss America Laura Kaeppeler would not let her father’s jail time for mail fraud be a deterrent to her pursuit of the crown, but instead stated that she desired children of incarcerated adults to feel less alone, to have mentoring, and to have as much of a relationship with their parents as possible.
Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney is seemingly the choice of the establishment; although he is not thus far the clear front-runner to be the party’s nominee for the 2012 Presidential election. The powers that be will likely exercise all manner of influence and heavy-handedness to keep Barack Hussein Barry Obama Soetoro in the office of the Presidency, as he has put forth a superb effort to undermine the U.S. economy and to neuter the world’s most powerful military; so as to erase America’s superpower status and make way for the one world system. Where the coming one world system is concerned; it will not be run by Barack Obama. While we do not know today who the Anti-Christ is or will be, we can be fairly confidant that it is not Barack Obama!
While America remains stimulated by television programs such as Jersey Shore and conversely pacified by pageantry such as Miss America; while FOX, CNN, and MSNBC continue to offer wall to wall coverage of a presidential election that may already be decided – the world has crossed the Rubicon and is perched on the precipice of peril. To be clear, there is no attempt here by this writer to encourage disengagement from the political process; as I have always been engaged in it. And certainly, I am in no position to tell grown-ups what they can or can’t watch on television. But, too many are not paying attention to the rest of the world. The safe America shores have suffered considerable erosion; enough so that what happens in the rest of the world has a profound effect on what happens in the land of the free.
I continue to bang the drum: watch Israel, who is the prophetic timepiece and the apple of God’s eye. Watch Iran primarily and the rest of the Middle East secondarily. Watch China and Russia. While the internet has yet to suffer the implementation of SOPA legislation – look for news there, because you’ll get flickering images and talking faces on television – but the reportage may be sorely lacking as the selection cum election is seemingly the only news.
We must all be watchers at the wall…
