World Economic Forum: Concerned about economic panic, information technology, and Brexit, while VP Biden pushes the LGBT agenda
The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland is concerned about financial panic and other matters:
Fear spreads from Wall Street to Davos
January 21, 2016
The sense of panic has spread from Wall Street to the Swiss mountains.
Interest rates. Oil prices. Market turmoil in China. Business leaders attending the World Economic Forum in Davos are worried about a slew of problem areas that could derail global growth.
“Everybody is worried about growth at the global level,” Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan told CNNMoney. http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/21/investing/world-market-reaction-davos/

DAVOS, Switzerland—Tensions are rising between governments and big U.S. technology companies over widening surveillance demands, part of a broader debate over how to reconcile online privacy with the fight against terrorism. …
Governments, particularly in Europe, want U.S. tech firms to turn over more information to them directly. http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-tech-companies-bring-encryption-battle-to-davos-1453320950

U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron will lobby business and political leaders in Davos ahead of the referendum on so-called Brexit as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and GlaxoSmithKline Plc rallied behind the push to keep Britain in the European Union.
Andrew Witty, Chief Executive Officer of GlaxoSmithKline, said in a Bloomberg TV interview at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland that EU membership has brought “fragmented, independent, not-talking-to-each-other” regulators together in a single agency. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-21/cameron-takes-brexit-referendum-push-to-executives-in-davos

British Prime Minister David Cameron says he is not asking for anything “outrageous” from European Union leaders so that he can campaign for the country’s continued membership in the 28-country bloc.
In a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Cameron said Thursday that his aim is to “secure the future of Britain in a reformed European Union.”
He said that if a deal does not emerge at a February summit of EU leaders then he can wait. His party’s manifesto pledge was to hold a referendum by the end of 2017.
If offered a good deal at the summit, Cameron said he would take it.
Cameron laid out his four reform proposals. He wants changes to rules affecting migration and benefits; to “hard-wire” competitiveness into the EU’s DNA; to make sure non-euro countries like Britain aren’t discriminated by the 19 EU countries that use the euro currency; and to get Britain out of the idea of an “ever-closer union.” http://www.heraldonline.com/news/business/article55784865.html#storylink=cpy

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden urged executives in Davos to use their influence to drive change in countries where lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face repression, putting gay rights at the heart of this year’s meeting.
The issue is on the official agenda for the first time at the World Economic Forum, where political leaders from countries that discriminate against gay people, such as Nigeria and Russia, schmooze business leaders and billionaire investors.
Biden told U.S. executives including Nathan Blecharczyk, co-founder of apartment-sharing firm Airbnb, Muhtar Kent, chairman and CEO of The Coca Cola Company, and Anthony Scaramucci, founder of hedge fund SkyBridge Capital, to push for change.
“You can change the terms of debate,” he said. “You actually put governments on notice.”
He said he and President Barack Obama privately raise the issue of repression of the LGBT community when they meet political leaders.
“I have had some run-ins with at least four heads of state already on this,” said Biden.
Banging his fist on the table, Biden said there was no national cultural justification to discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
“People used to be cannibals as part of their culture, people used to do terrible things as part of their culture,” he said.
Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, the United States’ largest LGBT civil rights organization, said business leaders should take the opportunity in Davos to confront the leaders of countries with “hateful laws”. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-davos-meeting-biden-lgbt-idUSKCN0UY1N5
There are concerns that the stock market issues, interest rates, and the possibility that the UK will leave the European Union (the BRitish EXIT, called a Brexit) could further destabilize the world economy and lead to recession, etc.
I reported someone’s view of 2016, Davos, and the economy yesterday (see ‘BEWARE OF WORLD COLLAPSE: PRIVATE CONVERSATION OF SHEMITAH AND JUBILEE REVEALED AT DAVOS’).
But today, I would like to focus on US Vice President Joseph Biden’s pushing of the homosexual agenda.
Consider that Joseph Biden called for an end to “hateful laws” that oppose the LGBT agenda. The Bible’s laws of love (cf. James 2:8-11) apparently are considered as hateful by him and others. Most fail to see that God gave His laws for our good (cf. Deuteronomy 10:13).
The Apostle Paul wrote:
10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:10)
But homosexuality harms ones neighbor and proper laws against it are not hateful. The fruits of the homosexual agenda are not good (2 Peter 2:6; Jude 7), but most in the world seem blinded by Satan(cf. 2 Corinthians 4:4) to that fact.
There are many diseases, including deadly ones, that homosexuals are at greater risk than the general population of acquiring.
Male homosexuals are at greater risk for the following:
Anal Cancer
Chlamydia trachomatis
Cryptosporidium
Giardia lamblia
Herpes simplex virus
Human immunodeficiency virus
Human papilloma virus
Isospora belli
Microsporidia
Gonorrhea
Viral hepatitis types B & C
Syphilis(http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/homosexuality/ho0075.html)
The Journal of the American Medical Association refers to GBS problems such as proctitis, proctocolitis, and enteritis as “sexually transmitted gastrointestinal syndromes.” (http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=Is01B1)
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) have been increasing among gay and bisexual men. Recent increases in syphilis cases have been documented across the country. In 2008, men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for 63% of primary and secondary syphilis cases in the United States. MSM often are diagnosed with other bacterial STDs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea infections.
Gay and bisexual men can be infected with HPV (Human Papillomavirus), the most common STD in the United States. Some types of HPV cause genital and anal warts and some can lead to the development of anal and oral cancer. Men who have sex with men are 17 times more likely to develop anal cancer than heterosexual men. Men who are HIV-positive are even more likely than those who are uninfected to develop anal cancer…All gay, bisexual, and other MSM should be tested each year for STDs (including HIV). (http://www.cdc.gov/msmhealth/STD.htm)
There is also a new deadly strain of meningitis that homosexuals are now also at risk for.
What about female homosexuals (commonly called lesbians)? Notice the following:
Lesbians were three to four times more likely than heterosexual women to have sex with men who were high-risk for HIV disease-homosexual, bisexual, or IV drug-abusing men.66 The study “demonstrates that WSW [women who have sex with women] are more likely than non- WSW to engage in recognized HIV risk behaviours such as IDU [intravenous drug use], sex work, sex with a bisexual man, and sex with a man who injects drugs, confirming previous reports.”67
Bacterial vaginosis, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, heavy cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse, intravenous drug use, and prostitution were present in much higher proportions among female homosexual practitioners.68 Intravenous drug abuse was nearly six times as common in this group.69In one study of women who had sex only with women in the prior 12 months, 30 percent had bacterial vaginosis.70 Bacterial vaginosis is associated with higher risk for pelvic inflammatory disease and other sexually transmitted infections.71
In view of the record of lesbians having sex with many men, including gay men, and the increased incidence of intravenous drug use among lesbians, lesbians are not low risk for disease. Although researchers have only recently begun studying the transmission of STDs among lesbians, diseases such as “crabs,” genital warts, chlamydia and herpes have been reported.72 Even women who have never had sex with men have been found to have HPV, trichomoniasis and anogenital warts.73 (http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=Is01B1)
Notice also:
Greater Risk for Suicide.
· A study of twins that examined the relationship between homosexuality and suicide, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry,found that homosexuals with same-sex partners were at greater risk for overall mental health problems, and were 6.5 times more likely than their twins to have attempted suicide. The higher rate was not attributable to mental health or substance abuse disorders.[75]
· Another study published simultaneously in Archives of General Psychiatry followed 1,007 individuals from birth. Those classified as “gay,” lesbian, or bisexual were significantly more likely to have had mental health problems
Reduced Life Span. A study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology on the mortality rates of homosexuals concluded that they have a significantly reduced life expectancy:
In a major Canadian centre, life expectancy at age twenty for gay and bisexual men is eight to twenty years less than for all men. If the same pattern of mortality were to continue, we estimate that nearly half of gay and bisexual men currently aged twenty years will not reach their sixty-fifth birthday. Under even the most liberal assumptions, gay and bisexual men in this urban centre are now experiencing a life expectancy similar to that experienced by all men in Canada in the year 1871. (http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=Is01B1)
Shortened Life Span
The greater incidence of physical and mental health problems among gays and lesbians has serious consequences for length of life. While many are aware of the death toll from AIDS, there has been little public attention given to the magnitude of the lost years of life…
First, HIV/AIDS is underreported by as much as 15-20 percent, so it is likely that not all AIDSrelated deaths were accounted for in the study.96 Second, there are additional major causes of death related to gay sex. For example, suicide rates among a San Francisco cohort were 3.4 times higher than the general U.S. male population in 1987.97 Other potentially fatal ailments such as syphilis, anal cancer, and Hepatitis B and C also affect gay and bisexual men disproportionately.98 (http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/homosexuality/ho0075.html)
Despite the high risk of disease and shorter life span likelihoods, the homosexual population likes to refer to itself as “gay” a term suggesting carefree and happy. Studies, however, do not support that conclusion about homosexuals.
While some secular sources claim that vaccines are the “best defense” against various diseases that homosexuals are at greater risk for, the Bible says that promiscuity is a sin against the body (1 Corinthians 6:18), and that homosexual sex leads to destruction (Jude 7). Even the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) agrees that avoiding promiscuity is the best defense:
The most reliable ways to avoid transmission of STDs are to abstain from sexual activity, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner. (Gay and Bisexual Men’s Health. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. http://www.cdc.gov/msmhealth/STD.htm, viewed 03/24/13)
Being faithful to biblical admonitions against fornication, adultery, and homosexuality are the “most reliable way to avoid transmission” of sexually-transmitted diseases.
Promoting homosexuality is not something that the government of the USA should be doing. But it is.
Consider that God turned:
6…the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly (2 Peter 2:6)
Thus, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah were to serve as an example to those who would live as they did. Even today, the term sodomy is used to describe one of the practices of male homosexuals. Yet despite biblical warnings, many modern leaders are endorsing so-called homosexual “rights” and “same-sex marriage.” The Bible, however, warns about such leaders:
12…Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).
The Bible has many warnings directly about homosexuality, as well as laws that are opposed to the LGBT agenda. It tells of death for those who practice or even condone homosexuality and lesbianism (Romans 1:18-32) and even warns of weather problems associated with accepting sexually immoral lifestyles like Sodom and Gomorrah did (details are in the article Weather Blessings and Sorrows).
The USA promoting the homosexual agenda around the world, including the World Economic Forum, is not good.
