The Cost of Speaking the Unpopular Truth!!! Looking from the Outside 'IN'!steemCreated with Sketch.

Matthew 5:11-12 boldly states “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you”. 

Being a follower of Jesus Christ you are faced with many challenges in life in regards to your faith and therefore you have to defend your beliefs. At times it is uncomfortable because friendships can be lost by just speaking the hurtful truth. But that is what good friends do or even someone that loves you. 

I remember the days when I would post my views online and persons would regularly like my posts but then when I would say anything that either they didn’t seem too knowledgeable on or something that the bible backs up you realize hardly anyone pays attention to what you are saying. It reminds me of the life of Jesus when he walked the face of the earth. He came and he spoke things as is; he never apologized for anything he said. He just spoke and whose feelings were hurt just had to deal with it and he was hated and rejected by his own. Rick Wiles of Trunews coined a statement sometime ago where he said “In a world of lies, telling the truth is radical”. 

Some of the my co-workers believe that I am too radical for their liking so I have to constantly explain why I believe what I believe. And because of this, I think of Donald Trump. No doubt he is an interesting character but he is very likeable because he says what is unpopular or what we might deem as unpolitically correct, if there is such a term and it resonates with people. 


It is amazing how the main stream media is going way out on a limb to discredit, whatever he says even if it is the truth. When the recent bombings in NYC occurred, he (Mr Trump) reiterated it and even Hillary Clinton mentioned it but later in the same given statement she discredited Mr. Trump because he said bombing. It eventually turned out that he was right with his statement. Many persons came out onto Twitter and blasted him for been too quick to say that it was a bombing when it was a bombing.

 
He stated that Isis was a creation of the Obama Administration, to which he is right. The Administration created the conditions that were favorable for militant groups to grow and foster through the Middle East by the power vacuums they caused in both Iraq and Libya. In Iraq, they withdrew all the troops there so that the rebel groups could advance and propagate there. Now Libya is literally a failed state because the US government supplied weapons to rebel forces to get rid of Muammar Gaddafi because he threatened the West to use trade oil using the Gold Dinar.


Trump said most of the refugees that are entering the US are not coming to assimilate or adapt to the customs and laws of the United States of America. Many of the refugees entering the Western counties do not want to follow the laws of the various democratic countries and prefer their own Shariah Law. So some countries such as Sweden and Germany are doing the reverse of what should actually happen by literally bending backwards to appease the Muslims. In some European Nations the Muslims practice Shariah Law and forgo the law of the land they abide. One of the main reasons why dictatorships or autocratic rulings are present in most Muslim majority countries is the fact that democracy does not work.

Trump was widely discredited when he proposed to erect a wall between the USA and Mexico to keep out illegal immigrants and by this measure, Trump is advocating for law and order. Israel has walls, the Vatican has walls and even some European countries have walls. Why would they erect walls? Because they all believe in law and order! Law is basically the way regulations that are put in place so that a country can function in an orderly fashion. Order can be described as the measures put in place so that the country operates in effective way. So by putting up a wall along the US border, anyone wanting to come into the US must some the legal way and go through all the procedures like any normal legal immigrant.

Due to Mr.Trump’s unpopular truth, he and his family are being demonized by the MSM for anything and everything they say or do. The common description he is referred to as is, "a racist bigot". Here in Antigua, my homeland, many people hate Trump and want Hillary to win because they claim he is a racist bigot. I would asked them, "okay, if you say he is a racist bigot, then give me an example of where and when he has done or said something racist." They can never give me a straight answer. All they claim they know he is racist that's all.


Hillary Clinton is clearly the favorite for the Elites and that’s why it seems as if she is bigger than the law. She was supposed to be indicted and the director of the FBI said that there was no reason to indict her even though he read out a list of all the misdemeanors she was guilty of. What is America coming to? It seems as if the government is given over to a spirit of delusion. The corruption is so thick that you can literally touch it, if it was possible.


It's very sad when you see something for what it is but can’t say or mention it because it is unpopular and someone may feel offended by your statement. There is a statement that goes “ whoever controls the words, controls the thoughts of the people”.
