"Amazing Election Prediction: Professor Puts Money Where His Mouth Is"

According to Helmut Norpoth, a political science professor at Stony Brook University, the next American president will be Donald Trump.

Though the polls beg to differ, Norpoth has predicted the winner of the last five presidential elections dating back to 1996. How, you ask? By using a statistical model based on the outcomes of primaries.

"Some twenty years ago, I constructed a formula, the Primary Model, that has predicted the winner of the popular vote in all five presidential elections since it was introduced," says Norpoth.

Based on election data going all the way back to 1912, the formula has only been wrong once.

"The Primary Model," explains Norpoth, "consists of two ingredients: The swing of the electoral pendulum, and the outcome of primaries."

Norpoth contends the pendulum swings to the opposite party after two consecutive terms. The Dems have been in power for two terms. History points to a Republican win this time. Only once in the past 65 years has the pendulum stayed put: George H.W. Bush managed to win a third Republican term in 1988.

"That spells continuity," said Norpoth, " a desire for more of the same." We can thank Ronald Reagan for that.

When you add in the presidential primary results, you've got a formula that favors Republicans.

"In general, the party with the stronger primary candidate wins the general election."

"The Primary Model predicts that Trump will defeat Clinton with 87 percent certainty."

Professor Norpoth  is betting on a Republican victory--literally. He's got 500 bucks riding on the Trump Train...in spite of what the polls say.

"EU Opens Tunnel With Bizarre Satanic Ceremony"

If you think the creepy clown phenomenon is freaky--you ain't seen nothing yet.

Seventeen years in the making, the Grand Opening of the EU's Gotthard Base Tunnel has got to be one of the most bizarre ceremonies we've ever seen.

It was blatantly demonic, featuring the goat-man, Baphomet (you might remember him from our blog Satanists Horn In On The 10 Commandments).

Located in Switzerland, (home to the Large Hadron Collider who's scientists also dance to the beat of Satanic rituals) the Gotthard Tunnel is the world's longest underground railway.

To celebrate the long awaited occasion of its Grand Opening, Switzerland invited world leaders, Angela Merkel of Germany, Matteo Renzi of Italy, Francois Hollande of France and a host of other VIP's to join the Swiss, President and witness one of the strangest (and graphically demonic) opening ceremony imaginable:
Amid a grand pageantry of eerie music and dance, a goat-man dies and is resurrected while dancers simulate demonically inspired acts to a rhythmic drum beat. The goat-man, as Baphomet, is worshipped and crowned as "the king of the world", while weird, Cousin-It like creatures scuttle across the ground. And that's just the Reader's Digest condensed version. For a pastor's interpretation of the shocking video (must watch to believe!) click here  

Something weird's going down in Switzerland and we don't mean chocolate.

A wise man once said: "When men reject God, they except anything." -- anonymous

"With the Lord's authority let me say this: Live no longer as the ungodly do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of God because they have shut their minds and hardened their hearts against Him. They don't care anymore about right and wrong, and they have given themselves over to immoral ways. Their lives are filled with all kinds of impurity and greed.

But that isn't what you were taught when you learned about Christ. Since you have heard all about Him and have learned the truth that is in Jesus, throw off your old evil nature and  your former way of life, which is rotten through and through, full of lust and deception. Instead, there must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes. You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God's likeness--righteous, holy and true" Ephesians 4:17-24.

"Russian nationalist: 'Vote Trump or Risk War'"

Russian President Vladimir Putin insists his country is not trying to influence the U.S. presidential election.

Really? Well somebody better let his pal, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, know because according to Reuters,  Zhirinovsky said if Trump loses, it means war.

An ultra-nationalist and ally to President Putin, Zhirinovsky is " a flamboyant veteran lawmaker known for his fiery rhetoric," Reuters reporter Andrew Osborn said.

"Trump", claims Zhirinovsky, "is the only person to de-escalate dangerous tensions between Moscow and Washington."

What about Hillary, you ask?

According to Zhirinovsky she could "spark World War Three. Relations between Russia and the United States can't get any worse. The only way they can get worse is if a war starts. Americans voting for a president on November 8 must realize that they are voting for peace on Planet Earth if they vote for Trump. But if they vote for Hillary, it's war."

With tensions between the U.S. and Russia already so strained over Syria, Ukraine and the Russian campaign of cyber-attacks, Zhirinovsky's statements seem especially jarring. If Russia is not trying to influence the U.S. election--what is it trying to do?

Meanwhile...

The Bible indicates Russia has a major role to play in the End-Times scenario. The U.S. does not.Why?

A wise man once said: "The Apostle Paul uses the image of labor pains to stress the suddenness of how quickly the world will be plunged into judgment." -- Barry Beitzel, Ph.D.

"For you are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, 'Peace and security', destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief..." 1Thess.5:2-4.

"Experts: 'Third World War Has Never Been So Close: Russia Prepares While America Sleeps'"

While most Americans are watching the presidential election like maniacal hawks, the international "think tank" Katehon is watching the world inch dangerously close to WWIII.

Why haven't you been hearing about this? Because the American media hasn't been doing its job (or maybe it has, if its job is to keep us in the dark).

Katehon, "an independent organization consisting of an international network of people--from a wide variety of fields and disciplines--who specialize in the geopolitical, geostrategic and political analysis of world events." Katehon keeps its eye on the ball and warns: "No one invited the U.S. into Syria. It has become a proxy war against Russia and Russia refuses to back down."

Though Katehon works behind the scenes, it's members include:

• experts in security and counter-terrorism
• international relations researchers
• political thinkers and philosophers

In short, they are Brainiacs from all over the world who's job it is to forecast global trends and warn when necessary.

Why should we care? Because according to Katehon: the "Third World War has never been so close."

Katehon contends that on "September 17th, the likelihood of this war was breathtakingly high," when American troops bombed positions of the Syrian army at Deir ez-Zor, resulting in the deaths of 60 Syrian soldiers.

According to Katehon: "This strike was extremely important for ISIS militants, whom the U.S. is informally advising and arming while supposedly fighting them."

"This crossed the line. Bombing Syrian soldiers is one thing, but this means declaring war not only against Syria, but also Russia, which is fighting in Syria on Assad's side. And this means that we have reached a climax."

U.S.leadership claimed that the air strike was a mistake and warned Russia not to react--but everybody, including Russia, believes the U.S. is lying.

 "Modern technology," Katehon continued, "allows satellite objects to be seen from a desktop. Theoretically, American bombers could not have simply confused such a strike."

"The point of no return has not yet been crossed", but Moscow is getting the Russian people ready for a direct, formal confrontation with the U.S. and NATO.

Vladimir Putin this week ordered the evacuation of 40 million Russians in a huge 4-day "drill". The drill will prepare Russian citizens for "large natural and man-made disasters", this according to the country's Ministry for Civil Defence.

But with tensions already so high over Syria, this drill has set alarms off in Washington and NATO states.

"Thus," according to Katehon, "everything at this point is very, very serious>'

A wise man once said: "Is Putin bluffing? Are we prepared to ride the up-escalator, at the top of which is nuclear war, if Putin, who has been boasting of his modernized nuclear forces, is also willing to ride it rather than back down?" -- Patrick J. Buchanan, syndicated columnist

"Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; For the LORD will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught." Proverbs 3:25-36.
