Fighting is escalating incrementally between Israel and Hezbollah to the north in Lebanon now.  The U.S. is fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels.  And Pakistan and Iran have begun trading cross border punches.  U.S. State Department spokesperson, Matt Miller, said Washington is trying to prevent a full-scale war in the Middle-East.  A full-scale war that, as is ramping up regionally in the Middle-East, could then, quite conceivably, ignite into a full-scale World War &#8212; with nuclear weapons.  The missing piece?  While virtually everyone is looking at this through the lens of geo-politics, we should rather, primarily, be looking at it through the lens of: <strong>spirituality<\/strong>.  That is, Mother Theresa, now considered a Catholic saint, emphatically repeated, often, that &#8220;&#8230;abortion could lead to World War III.&#8221;  You see, there has been a world-wide &#8220;War on the Unborn&#8221; for some 70 years now.  The abortion numbers are absolutely staggering.  So, at what point does God finally say:  &#8220;That&#8217;s enough!&#8221;  Then He takes His hand off the world, and let&#8217;s it self-destruct &#8212; a natural extension of evil reaching a crescendo.  <strong>Note:<\/strong>  No other 2024 presidential candidate is drawing this corollary.  Instead, they, quite metaphorically, keep trying to rearrange (geo-political) deckchairs on the Titanic.  You remember, the ocean-liner whose owner claimed &#8220;&#8230;not even God can sink this ship!&#8221; Yeah, right.  <strong>Note 2<\/strong>: For our position paper on abortion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteforjoe.com\/abortion-co53\">see&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bulletin of Atomic Scientists photo We could well be experiencing the opening salvos of World War III.
