UK’s Cameron May Call Out the Troops and Restrict Social Media
David Cameron
Increasingly frustrated by the rioting and civil unrest, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, is considering many measures, including possibly the use of the military:
Wall Street Journal – 11 August 2011UK Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain is considering a raft of new measures related to crowd control, gang membership and social-media communications, in an effort to prevent a repeat of rioting and looting that exploded across the country this week.Los Angeles Times – 11 August 2011
PC Magazine – 11 August 2011
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday that Scotland Yard and intelligence agencies are considering a ban on social media for those known to be plotting violence.
UK may use army in future riots-Cameron 11 August 2011Britain will crack down on gangs and may call in army support if this week’s riots are repeated, Prime Minister David Cameron said on Thursday, saying he would not allow a “culture of fear” to exist on the streets.
The United Kingdom has arrested about 1200 so far in conjunction with the situation there–and now the Prime Minister promises to hunt for many of the rest of them. The USA will have its own riots and will almost assuredly be willing to call out troops to deal with them. I have long expected government censorship (including the internet and perhaps other forms of social media) in the USA as well. The fact that the UK Prime Minister wants a social media ban is a concern, but not a surprise as I reported the use of social media was a concern in London, Philadelphia, and Syria (see Facebook Riots).
Before the Great Tribulation, and after the start of the beginning of sorrows, Jesus reported:
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:12-14)
Rioting and criminal behavior suggest an increase in lawlessness. But Christians need to endure to the end AND support the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom to the world as a witness AND then the end, meaning the start of the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21) and end of the Anglo-powers (Jeremiah 30:7; Daniel 11:39), will come.
I will again gone on record to declare that I believe that stopping/interfering some of us in the Living Church of God to get out our message on the internet and/or other media is likely to be something that the USA and perhaps other governments will do as we get closer the the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7)–for where this may fit in the biblical prophetic sequence, check out Herbert W. Armstrong’s, LCG’s, and my comments in the article Who is the King of the North?.
As far as the Anglo-nations go, something I read in a secular financial source was of interest:
…the ongoing, slow motion collapse of the Anglo-Saxon Empire, centered predominantly around the Eurozone and in the United States of America (Bowman J. From Riot to Riches: A look at the upside-down world economy and its violent reversion. Daily Reckoning, August 10, 2011).
Thus, the above author has noticed that the Anglo-Saxon powers are in the process of collapse, and he is right about that. And while the process currently will look slow to many, sudden destruction will come (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:3; Habakkuk 2:7-8). While I have tended to quote Habakkuk concerning the debts of the Anglo-nations, notice that the violence in their lands will also be a factor in their destruction:
7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly?
Will they not awaken who oppress you?
And you will become their booty.
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it. (Habakkuk 2:7-8)
There is violence in the UK, and there will be more violence in the USA (I also consider certain that sports are inappropriate violence in the land and the cities of the Anglo-descended nations). Destruction will come.
While there will be problems in the Eurozone (Daniel 2:42-43) and the UK will not remain part of it as it has been, the end of Anglo-Saxon dominance is coming. It will still take some time, but the process has begun.
