Queen Of England Set To Approve Gay Marriage For United Kingdom
The Queen is expected to be asked to give her approval to the Bill – one of the most radical pieces of social legislation of her reign – by the end of this week.
I don’t think that God will save the Queen on this one
From the land that gave us the King James 1611 Authorized Version Holy Bible, now comes legalized gay marriage, and with it support for transgender, transsexual and pedophilic behavior of all stripes and degrees. Will the stoic, humorless and relentlessly conservative Queen Elizabeth really place her stamp of approval on it? Sure looks that way.
Seems like the sun has finally set on whats left of the once-glorious English Empire.
From Telegraph UK: The Queen is expected to be asked to give her approval to the Bill – one of the most radical pieces of social legislation of her reign – by the end of this week.
It opens the way for the first legally recognised same-sex weddings to take place in England and Wales by next summer and brings the centuries-old understanding of marriage as being solely between a man and a woman to an end.
Peers gave their assent to the third reading of the Government’s same-sex marriage bill without a formal vote after a short debate in the Lords, also backing plans for a review of pension arrangements for gay couples.
Unless MPs object to the bill at the eleventh hour during a short Commons debate set to take place on Tuesday, it is expected to receive royal assent within days. Baroness Stowell, the Government spokesman who steered the bill through the Lords, told a chamber packed with peers wearing pink carnations, that it was an “historic” achievement.
But opponents accused the Government of using a parliamentary “bulldozer” to speed the change through
The passage of the Bill brings an end to one of the most acrimonious debates of recent years which has divided the Conservative party and, at times, pitted Church against State. Speaking earlier, Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, claimed that despite huge controversy, most people would soon be asking: “What was all the fuss about?”.
But the Coalition for Marriage, the group which orchestrated opposition to the Bill, is now set to transform itself from a single-issue campaign into what could be one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the country.
The C4M has built up a database of around 700,000 supporters through its petition against the redefinition of marriage. Its leaders now believe they have enough support to influence the outcome of the 2015 election.
They have compiled a list of 39 of the most marginal seats they plan to target and in which enough people signed the C4M petition to suggest they could swing the election result.
They plan to challenge candidates of all parties to back a list of commitments to introduce new legal protections for workers such as teachers and registrars who hold to a traditional line on marriage.
They will also be campaigning to open up civil partnerships to allow family carers and unmarried siblings to benefit from the same inheritance tax exemptions as married couples.
Ben Summerskill, chief executive of Stonewall, said: “It’s impossible to express how much joy this historic step will bring to tens of thousands of gay people and their families and friends.
“The Bill’s progress through Parliament shows that, at last, the majority of politicians in both Houses understand the public’s support for equality – though it’s also reminded us that gay people still have powerful opponents.”
But Colin Hart, campaign director of the C4M said: “Mr Cameron needs to remember that the Coalition for Marriage has nearly 700,000 supporters, nearly six times the number of members of the Conservative Party.
“They are just ordinary men and women, not part of the ruling elite. They are passionate, motivated and determined to fight on against a law that renders terms like husband and wife meaningless and threatens one of the foundations of the institution of marriage: fidelity and faithfulness.
“These concepts may not matter to the leaders of the three main political parties, who are drawn from a very narrow liberal political class, but they do matter to people up and down the country who believe that marriage is special, unique and the bedrock of stable families.”
In what was, at times, an emotional debate, Lord Alli, the Labour peer, said it had been “truly humbling” to play a leading role in driving the bill through the Lords.
Speaking of his 15 years as a peer, he thanked the House of Lords, adding: “As a gay man over those 15 years you have changed my life.
“You have given me dignity where there was sometimes fear. You have given me hope where there was often darkness and you have given me equality where there was sometimes prejudice. “This is a special place and I am proud to have figured in it.”
Lord Lester of Herne Hill, the Liberal Democrat QC, said it would have been “quite inconceivable” for the Lords to have approved such legislation 20 years ago.
“It would have been fairly impossible 15 years ago,” he added.
“What has changed for the better has been the modernisation through appointments to this House.”
The Bishop of Norwich, the Rt Rev Graham James, said that despite the Church’s opposition to gay marriage legal recognition for gay relationships had made society “healthier”.
He said it was “no secret” that the majority of Christian churches and other world faiths “don’t believe same-sex marriage accords with their understanding of marriage itself”.
But he added: “Many of us do welcome the social and legal recognition of same-sex partnerships and believe our society is a better and healthier one for such recognition.”
Lord Cormack, the former Tory MP, who opposed the bill, said it would be “churlish” not to accept that the supporters had won.
He said: “I want to congratulate all those who have campaigned for this measure upon their success.
“But in doing that I would just ask them to bear in mind that although this may be a day of unqualified rejoicing for them, there are many in our country who by no stretch of the imagination could be called either homophobic or bigoted who are unhappy about this Bill.
They are unhappy about this Bill because it does strange the structure of society by changing the definition of marriage.
“I hope that all those who enter into marriage under its new definition will indeed live happily ever after.
“But the sincerity of that wish in no sense prevents my saying to them I understand that you feel euphoric today but please have a thought for those who have different views.
“Please have a thought to the many, not just thousands but millions of people in this country for whom marriage will always be equated with what remains the Christian definition of marriage and I hope that in recognising that they will always remember the great Churchillian motto: magnanimity in victory.”
Mr Clegg told the website PinkNews.co.uk: “Of course … it has come about in a blaze of controversy [and] I think that was probably always going to be inevitable.
“[But] my own sense is once the bill is actually on the Statue Book and once you start seeing same-sex marriages up and down the country – as I hope we see as quickly as possible – then I think actually people will look back on it and think ‘what was all the fuss about’, very quickly it will seem entirely normal.” source – Telegraph UK
Emmanuel Macron
QUELLE HORREUR!! The French Government Has Just Been Toppled By The Far Right And Far Left, Where Does This Leave Our ‘Man Of Sin’ Emmanuel Macron?
Is this the end for Emmanuel Macron? French president facing calls to RESIGN after gov collapses & he’s left looking for 6th PM
For nearly 8 years, NTEB has been tagging French president Emmanuel Macron for the spot of the biblical ‘man of sin’ for reasons laid out in our article on him being the Assyrian. At multiple junctures during this period, Macron has been brought to the brink of ruin time and time again, only to rise up from the ashes more powerful than he was before. Yesterday in France, the people who populate the rather lengthy list of his enemies conspired together to topple the French government, and down it has come. What happens now?
“O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.” Isaiah 10:5 (KJB)
Not being a prophet and possessing zero psychic ability, I can only guess like all of you can, but I will say this. There is ‘something special’ about Emmanuel Macron, and I think he will figure this very dire situation out in short order. But even if he does not, he will not be at the ‘end of the road’ as I feel he is foreordained to ‘higher office’. Right now, 64% of French citizens want Macron out, but I am betting he is not fazed in the least. Emmanuel Macron is a man of destiny, and he will come up with the answers. He always does. Besides, being president of France is only the first step.

French President Emmanuel Macron is clinging onto power after another damaging political blow saw his government left in disarray.
FROM THE SUN US: His government collapsed last night after a historic vote of no-confidence was passed against Prime Minister Michel Barnier in the National Assembly. Macron is now on the hunt for his sixth PM during his stint as president but it comes amid calls for him to ultimately resign. The president has constantly vowed to serve out his term until 2027 despite his political rivals now calling for him to step down immediately.
The deputy of the far-left La France Insoumise party, Manuel Bompard, claimed today that Macron must leave to regain a sense of stability in Paris.
He told RTL France: “We are facing a situation of instability. I do not see, given the configuration of the National Assembly and the inability to compromise, a stable situation emerging.”
He also warned the next PM that they are walking into a poisoned seat. Bompard is adamant that another Macron ally shouldn’t be gifted the prestigious role like before as all it does is reinforce France’s “democratic problem”.
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen has also blasted Macron for failing to step aside and says he is going to “sacrifice the fate of France because of his vanity”.
Outgoing Barnier has already met with Macron today and is expected to formally announce his resignation later today. The 73-year-old former EU Brexit negotiator was only appointed in September – making him the shortest serving prime minister in French history.
Macron is also due to address the nation in a televised speech, according to the Elysee presidential palace.
The latest polls out of Paris say the people feel they are entering a period of politics that is incapable of ever moving forwards under a Macron government. Almost two-thirds of French citizens say they are in favour of him handing in his resignation, according to a Toluna-Harris survey for RTL. A staggering 64 per cent of respondents agreed Macron should step aside immediately. READ MORE

BLITZKREIG! Germany Is Preparing To Reactivate Their World War 2 Bomb Shelters To Protect Their Citizens As NATO Warns Of Coming ‘Wartime Scenario’
Germany is drawing up a list of bunkers that could provide emergency shelter for civilians, with NATO warning at a time of rising tensions with Russia.
Donald Trump still has 56 days until he is sworn in as president of the United States, and by that time, he could easily be assassinated or World War 3 could be underway. A top NATO military official on Monday urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly, in order to be less vulnerable to blackmail from countries such as Russia and China. Starmer in the UK and Emmanuel Macron in France are preparing to send in ground troops to Ukraine.
“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.” Psalm 55:21 (KJB)
Remember back in the days right before the lockdowns? Everyone was whispering that something might be coming, could be coming, and then – WHAMMO!! – there it was. How long have we been doing the same with this seemingly inevitable buildup to World War 3 we’ve been watching and are watching unfold right now? The US Federal Emergency Management Agency has released a spine-chilling survival guide for a nuclear attack amid the escalating Ukraine conflict and intensifying Middle Eastern disputes. Echoing Cold War-era preparedness, the agency’s updated advice aims to shield Americans from the horrors of a nuclear explosion. World War 3 is absolutely coming, it’s only a question of when.
Germany draws up list of bunkers amid Russia tensions as NATO warns
FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: The list would include underground train stations and car parks as well as state buildings and private properties, a ministry spokesperson said. A digital directory of bunkers and emergency shelters will be drawn up so people can find them quickly using a planned phone app. People would also be encouraged to create protective shelters in their homes by converting basements and garages, the spokesperson told a press briefing.
He declined to give a timetable, saying it was a big project that would take some time, involving the Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance and other authorities.
The country of 84 million people has 579 bunkers, mostly from the second world war and the cold war era, which can provide shelter for 480,000 people, down from about 2,000 bunkers previously.
The spokesperson said the key points of the plan were agreed at a conference of senior officials in June and a special group was looking into it.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, concerns have been growing about Moscow’s potential to target other NATO members. In October, German intelligence chiefs warned that Russia would probably be capable of launching an attack on the military alliance by 2030. German officials say the country is already experiencing a sharp rise in Russian spying and sabotage activities. Last week the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, said the conflict in Ukraine had characteristics of a “global” war and he did not rule out strikes on western countries. READ MORE

Flush With Cash From The Biden Administration, Ukraine Is Now Saying They Have The Capability To Produce A ‘Homemade Nuke’ To Fight Russia With
Ukraine has the resources and expertise to indigenously produce a large quantity of nuclear weapons at short notice if it was forced to do so, a briefing document meant for top government figures allegedly says, a report states.
Today, Biden administration Secretary of State Antony Blinken talked, bragged actually, about the massive amount of money the United States is planning on funneling, some would say laundering, to Ukraine in their endless war with Russia. It’s already at $8.5 billion since September, with many more billions to follow. What is Ukraine doing with that money? Making homemade nuclear bombs to attack Russia with.
“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.” Luke 21:9 (KJB)
The west and NATO continue to do this funny, little dance that draws us ever closer to WWIII, not the least of which is a proxy war being waged through Ukraine against Russia. If Ukraine actually starts building ‘homemade nukes’ it can only end in disaster. The fact that the outgoing Biden administration is bragging about the obscene amounts of money being given to Ukraine, in light of the very sparse support for Americans after things like hurricanes and floods, is beyond appalling. This is one of the main reasons why Donald Trump won in a landslide, to return some sense of normalcy to Washington, if such a thing can actually be done. There are still another 67 days left in the Biden administration, and they can still do a lot of damage.
Ukraine Believes it Can Build its Own Nuclear Bombs From Spent Fuel Rods in Months: Report
FROM BREITBART NEWS: A briefing produced for the Ukrainian defence ministry allegedly explaining to policy makers that the country could rapidly develop rudimentary nuclear bombs from spent fuel rods and long-range ballistic missiles to carry them states this could be achieved in just months.
Claimed as an exclusive by The Times of London, the document is presented by the newspaper as illustrating a potential backstop for the country to defend itself from the Russian Federation if the United States under a Trump Presidency withdrew military support. President Trump has made clear he wishes to bring peace to Europe quickly, but has not yet revealed how. Many of the options open to him do not align with the official Kyiv policy as the only acceptable end to the war being total victory over Russia.
Antony Blinken: “Every dollar (billions) we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door to Ukraine between now and January 20th.” This while FEMA is telling workers to not assist Trump supporters devastated by the last hurricane in Florida. pic.twitter.com/52taC3RyfP
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) November 14, 2024
The paper cites key lines from the report, written for the Ukraine government’s Centre for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies by Oleksii Yizhak, a senior leader at the National Institute for Strategic Studies, also a government think tank, both of which work in an official capacity advising the Presidency of Ukraine. It allegedly notes: “Creating a simple atomic bomb, as the United States did within the framework of the Manhattan Project, would not be a difficult task 80 years later”.
“I was surprised by the reverence the United States has for Russia’s nuclear threat. It may have cost us the war… They treat nuclear weapons as some kind of God. So perhaps it is also time for us to pray to this God.”
The degree to which the briefing was solely meant for the illumination of top Ukrainian cabinet ministers — given the dissemination of key paragraphs in a widely-read English newspaper — or is partly intended as a veiled threat to both Moscow and Washington D.C., is naturally hard to immediately ascertain. Certainly, the Ukrainian government communicated a rebuttal overnight, stating the country was bound by a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Yet this denial came without addressing the actual points in the briefing that the authors believe the country has legal grounds to unilaterally withdraw from those obligations, given it could claim other partners haven’t honoured it.
Whatever the truth, it is certain that the emergence of a new rogue nuclear state willing to use unsophisticated, low-yield nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe to defend its sovereignty from an aggressor would be not well received by Western capitals, and least of all by European nations threatened by drifting fallout clouds.
