Nearly 2,500 years ago (reference Ezekiel 38:7), God directed the ancient nation of Gog (modern day Russia) to be a guardian over Persia (modern day Iran) in the last days. it appears to be fairly widespread, which is causing me great anxiety :-) Sorry! Living with my girl is to be preferred! (We are gretting Married!)

With the help of millions of links pointing to action pages in the democracyinaction.org domain, this blog is a search gorilla in spite of its unprepossessing traffic.
You'll find us cropping up at the oddest times, like (and these are all actual searches in the past few weeks) ...

Happy May Day, comrades. We don't do Law Day here.
