If ever there were needed an evidence of just why - secure - boundaries and borders are necessary, even vital...
well, we saw it again just last week, as the peaceful and peace-loving, gentle little nation of Kenya (once again) had its quietude shattered by a medley of monstrous *madmen hell-bent on inflicting maximum carnage upon these quiet, unsuspecting people...
Yes, it's no mistake, folks, the terrorists involved were all Somali-born nationals/invaders...which illustrates yet again precisely why border incursions - for such this effectively was (one more example of) - in and of themselves evidence the - absolutely critical - need for secure borders and boundaries. Whatever the indifferent, uncaring **international 'human rights' outfits who invariably weigh in uninvited upon such matters predictably moralize...
Yes, a Kenyan phone-in guest upon BBC's weekday O.S. programme, 'Ken' (January 16, NZ-time), no doubt well expressed the heartfelt sentiments of his countrymen and women, when he said how "folk there [i.e. in Kenya, in the building under direct attack the other day] [were] thinking 'this could never happen here', and asking themselves, "Should we go down...should we go up...should be run...should we hide?" And RNZ National's Morning Report later that morning put it succinctly: "Kenyans will [would have] be[en] shocked and stunned by this attack...but reminded of the [in]security of the[ir] [northern] border."
May Hocus Bedlam - or was it Les Kebabs? - meet the just desserts their ghastly evil merits...
As for the British, citizens of the United Kingdom - whose ongoing, seemingly never-ending Brexit plight has been heavily dominating the (especially BBC) airwaves since the start of 2019 - surely they have every right, even arguably the very obligation to secure their own borders/geographical boundaries as well...for who - of all those who routinely lecture one and all of us about the value and need for democracy in any and every nook and corner of the globe - and no, I'm not thinking here of the likes of 'George Dubya' - can really argue that they haven't already - long hence - made their own sovereign decision upon this longtime most contentious of matters abundantly clear as can be?
Yes, folks, it's called, it's all about genuinely respecting the expressed will of the British peoples...as an anti-Brexit Conservative Party M.P. from Bournemouth(e) - talking with veteran Brexit correspondent Rob Watson upon BBC's O.S. programme this selfsame morning - himself conceded...and prithee tell me what could possibly be more democratic than that?
Yes, even if it ultimately results in a 'no deal' crash-out of the European Union upon March 29th (I believe is the fateful date long cited). As far as many Britons would no doubt see it, it'd be a case of 'good riddance to bad rubbish'...and the start of a slow hard slog to a renewed truly 'Great' Britain...all the more deeply treasured and cherished for having been so very hard-won...
*So am I among those who so glibly and facilely dismiss such terrorists - as so many regularly do with those who facilitated and enacted and otherwise allowed if not personally condoned the gas chambers of the Holocaust - as merely 'mad', i.e. as somehow insane or possessing some sort of mental illness? Indeed I do not: however abused such a term may well at times be (including by former presidents of the U S A in particular) evil will always be evil. Inexplicable, yes indeed...just as an insightful ****author has well stated that no real reason can ever be given for the very existence of sin and evil in God's universe...for 'to explain its cause would be to effectively justify or rationalize its existence'...and that can never ever be done.
No, as Jesus Himself so well expressed matters, such 'are of [their] father, the devil, and the deeds of [their] father they do'...and like him (or 'it', as *****H Scott Peck would put it) they will one day very soon share his (its) selfsame fate...and folks, that won't be at all pretty...no, indeed!
**Yes, there are some of these well worthy of true and deep respect, but when they seek to devalue and belittle and otherwise dismiss peoples' legitimate concerns and 'demands' for safety and security in their own lands...whether they be the likes of ***Amnesty International (or not)...I'm sorry, they've then and there lost their claims to legitimacy as far as having the right to be taken seriously.
***Incidentally, whose pronouncements of recent times upon issues wholly outside their legitimate purview, such as abortion, make them ipso facto unworthy of receiving the respect they once did.
****Ellen Gould White, at one time the world's most prolific female author and the third most written person generally. In such (various) tomes as The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan, Desire of Ages, and Patriarchs and Prophets. Among many others...
