NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED: THROUGH THE NIGHT


(EARLY SEGMENT)


Music Link:




Steve Taylor brought a cutting edge to Contemporary Christian Music that was too sharp and edgy for many but with "To Forgive"  alludes to Pope John Paul II and his meeting in prison with the man who tried to kill him, Mehmet Ali Agca.

It is said that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we react to it.

So much pain and death is remembered in anniversaries this week from Waco and the FBI assault on the Branch Davidians in 1993 on April 19th, the Oklahoma City federal building bombing on April 19th, 1995 and the Columbine High School massacre on April 20th, 1999, the 20th anniversary this year.

This notion of "domestic terrorist" that led to FBI violence in Oregon in 2016 again going after peaceful people seeking justice.     LaVoy Finicum killed with Ryan Bundy injured January 26, 2016.

LaVoy's widow visited the site this week and spoke with a child who was sent out from compound during the siege.

JEANETTE FINICUM AND MARK HERR VISIT BRANCH DAVIDIAN COMPOUND


That centurion said that there was nothing wrong with Jesus, that government guy in the uniform as I recall Good Friday and reading about it.

And liberals and progressives tells us not to fear and hurt people who are different from us, point taken.

But that applies in a 360 degree direction and the fear of others from a leftward direction leading to government violence has application to in places like Waco and Oregon in 2016, not to mention Bunkerville in 2014.

Wow!

The hate crimes police knock on doors in the UK and fine and or jail people for what they think because a mob is afraid and angry like the one that said "Free Barabbas" in that story in the Bible.

British politics off in the distance but for now a story to tell and appropriate music.

Law enforcement spread fear far and wide about 18-year old Sol Pais.    She was obsessed with the Columbine murders twenty years ago and in Colorado.   Schools shut down in panic.   Sol Pais took her own life before the SWAT team could "LaVoy" her, so to speak.

DAVE "BABY" CORTEZ-"RINKY DINK"


"Rinky Dink" is one way of describing the weapons test from North Korea which still is not going back to the belligerent stance, at least not yet.

The media in its need to trash Trump game, that's the way the game works.

I voted for Donald Trump, but he's not my god and he's certainly not someone to be demonized or discredited as the mainstream media attempts to do with North Korea reporting.

To British politics and the rise of the Brexit Party of Nigel Farage, designed to contest European Parliament elections on May 23rd and only those elections.


The latest polling shows for those May 23rd European Parliament elections:


Brexit  Party    27%
Labor               22%
Conservative    15%
Green               10%
UKIP                 7%
Change UK        6%
SNP/Plaid          4%
Other                  1%


Farage has got this thing going talking about "shaking up the establishment" but I have seen otherwise from Nigel on occasion like the retweet of Governor Phil Bryant's glowing endorsement of open borders, cheap labor Cindy Hyde-Smith for US Senate in Mississippi last year.

And while Nigel was not happy with the publication ban when Tommy Robinson was arrested, Farage had no problem with Robinson's arrest for reporting about a child sex abuse ring involved in crime on an industrial scale.

Farage has talked about the collusion of big banks, big business and big government as in corporatism but he disdains the working class blokes who support UKIP and denigrated them.

Farage is not supporting the people being prosecuted and persecuted under the hate crimes laws in the UK who are rallying to support UKIP instead.

UKIP is drawing in the internet activists to its side.

Carl Benjamin (aka "Sargon of Akkad") is one such person running as a candidate for UKIP.

Attorney General William Barr stepping up for a news conference at 930 am Thursday morning as the redacted version of Robert Mueller's report is released.

The former President of Peru, Alan Garcia, committed suicide Wednesday when police came to arrest him in a corruption case.   Garcia among a group of former presidents and prominent politicians accused of taking bribes from a Brazilian construction company.

Jared Kushner, presidential son-in-law had something to say about "Deal of the Century".   That plan to settle Israeli-Palestinian differences.  Talk of a  May 15th announcement too early a date.  Have to wait until the end of Ramadan is the word.

The story from Israel's "Haaretz"...….KUSHNER: MIDEAST PEACE PLAN WON'T BE UNVEILED BEFORE JUNE

Also on Israel National News, a story from a Saudi newspaper claiming the Lebanese foreign minister met a top Israeli official.    Lebanon on the mind of Israel with Syria's Assad still in power, the plot against him failing,  and the need to isolate Iranian influence and the Hezbollah missile threat in Lebanon.     Story at the link......HERE

Heading for the end here and I see a Nigel Farage tweet that reads in part:


"The lurch towards extremism has destroyed UKIP"


Yes and that's what they said about UKIP when you led it or something like that in a similar vein.


People like Carl Benjamin ("Sargon of Akkad") get 200,000 plus views on You Tube videos and that's something your radio show videos never did on You Tube, Nigel.

There's divisions out there and in the end I wish UKIP led   by Gerard Batten, Nigel Farage and his Brexit Party and the For Britain Movement led by Anne Marie Waters well.   

The last by-election in Wales the FBM got most of one percent of the vote and a party supporting veterans in the UK got just over two percent.

It was announced this week in the UK that yet another British soldier will be tried for a killing in Northern Ireland way back in this case 1972.

UKIP expressing its deep concern about the matter.

Well off we go and when I got depressed in my drunken stupor of the past I changed my religious leanings to include "Contemporary Christian Music" around 1980 and moved away from my country music obsession of the 1970's.

Amy Grant recorded this song in the 1980's and it has currency today as I see it.   It reflects where I am at in sobriety in this moment. 

Good Bye.   God Bless.
