TIMING IS EVERYTHING: US PRESIDENT TRAVELS TO ISRAEL
Published and Written by Karen Ann Carr
______________________________________________________________

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's Israel Trip couldn't be more significant. Though the White House signaled to journalist that access to the President during the trip might not meet their expectations. At the end of the day the timing of the trip may allow Israel and the United States of America to escape from particular dangers developing across the Middle-East.

     In the early 1980's, I was asked to attend a private meeting in Washington, DC. The subject matter of the meeting was highly sensitive.  So I was directed to go to a particular location near the U.S. Capitol and wait for someone to take me to the meeting location. I went as directed. A person met me at the predetermined location and took me to the meeting place.

     In relation to Israel and the United States of America, the significance of the meeting place and the information shared that day are especially relevant at this time. Ironically, I recently found out that the meeting place of the Capitol Hill building was the same building where, the then, Senator Joe Biden lived. 

     Years later, after leaving late evening sessions of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives I walk around the U.S. Capitol building. At that time, people were allowed access to high elevations of the building. Looking out over Washington DC toward the White House that evening was a turning point. The experience made a timeless impression upon me. For the first time the greatness of America was measurable. America would have to stand up for Israel and by standing up for Israel its own survival would be sustainable. The scene was awesome and spectacular, to say the least.

     Ironically that night, the then, Senator Biden spoke about issues on the Senate floor. Recollections about that evening include observing Senator Biden and being really touched by what he said. The genuineness and the wisdom of what he said really touched me. His greatness was measurable and I thought he should serve America beyond the Senate.

     Now I ask you to fast forward to today, as I detail what I heard at the clandestine meeting on Capitol Hill. As directed, I was met by a person on a corner on 2nd Street near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC. We went to the ground floor space were a very small number of people gathered.

     A man by the name of Tom Hess shared an experience that he and his business associate experienced. They had gone to dinner and returned to the location where our meeting was being held. Upon their arrival they felt atomic bombs hitting them on Capitol Hill. As you might imagine, the experience was very profound to both of them. They were wide-awake and not intoxicated or impaired by any substance. After everything calmed down, they were certain that they had to be dead, but realized they were still alive. After everything had calmed down, they both realized that the simultaneous experience of bombs falling all around them was beyond belief. They believed the experience had a lot to do with Israel as a sovereign nation-state and people of Jewish descent around the world. Hess thought the time might come when Jews would need protection around the world.  Given the threats of North Korea and Iran, the possibility of America being attacked is reasonable.    

     This trip by President Obama with Israel is highly relevant at this time. North Korea is threatening to attack America while building stronger alliances with Iran and China. Syria is threatening to attack Israel while killing its citizens. 

     Iran leaders are is  Israel at a time when North Korea is threatening the United States of America is an indication of the lateness of the hour. North Korea has gain missile technology from China and Iran. Iran's nuclear ambitions have been advanced via an alliance with Russia. A confluence of issues are formulating. Those outside of the Global seven are rushing to be recognized as nuclear nation-state.
 
     Things are quickly spiraling out of control. Perceptions that President Obama isn't committed to Israel  nourishes global unrest.  Committed to a two state solution that forces Israel to relinquish land has been pushed by the Obama administration. Unrest in the Middle-East is being connected to a mentality that does not recognize Israel as a legitimate nation-state.  The enemies of Israel and the enemies of a christian-based America are collaborating at a level never ratified before. Well-intentioned U.S. intelligence time-tables are spiraling out-of-reality because many global leaders are hell-bent on occupying U S  land, controlling American politicians; while removing Israel and its people from the face of the earth. Chemicals are being used to kill people in Syria. Political correctness is held above moral and holy living in North America or Europe or South America or Africa or Asia or Australia or Antarctica. Things are spiraling out of control.  It matters when political correct contradicts what is morally correct and holy and righteous.

     F
ocusing on Zionism can not be more significant. The timing is strategic. Press expectations of access to President Obama during the Israeli trip are being managed because  intrusions into this historic visit to Israel is a matter of life and death. Let us not forget that this time President Obama is visiting as the leader of Israel's most committed and connected ally. 
An Iranian & North Korean war about anti-Israeli sentiments is looming.
