I was sitting in my office when I received the news that Chuck had passed away. Although the news was not unexpected, a sadness settled on my heart.

The remarkable possibility of widespread domestic use of 3D technology has tremendous potential to change the way in which goods are obtained, designed, and innovated.

In direct opposition to the concept of Biblical truth is the concept of Islamic taqiyya, which, in Islam, is generally known as “lying for the faith.”

The stakes have been raised in the ethical question: “Does it take a life to save a life?” The choice is ours—especially when one of those lives has no choice.

The concept of GMO is not new. The process of genetically modifying an organism (GMO) was formalized when Herbert Boyer founded the first company, Genentech.

The financial meltdown of 2008 is blamed on corporate greed, incompetent regulators, and poor government policy...are they smokescreens that distract us from the truth?

As with many of you, I have been deluged with a plethora of material regarding U.S. President Obama’s Signing of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 on December 31, 2011.

It’s not a coincidence that this article was written during KI’s 2011 Issachar Tour. This Strategic glimpse into 2012 begins with an interesting rabbinical revelation...

The verse below has taken on a special significance in recent months as the Palestinian Authority [formerly the Palestinian Liberation Organization or PLO] announced their plans to gain U.N. approval of a Palestinian state.

America’s “War on Drugs,” which officially began in 1971, was repopularized in 1984 by then-President Ronald Reagan.  Our current failed economic policies may be setting the perfect storm for the pharmakeia referenced in Revelation:

In his 2007 scholarly work, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, Nassim Nicholas Taleb explains why the black swan is a metaphor about the significance of unexpected events in history...

The highly publicized arrest and later resignation of International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn raised more questions than it answered...

Ecumenicalism is defined as “concerned with establishing or promoting unity among churches or religions, so pervasive and all-inclusive as to exist in or affect the whole world.” And the mantra of the “whole world” is one in which we all need to just get along.

The current status of the individual states that comprise the United States of America could be defined with the possible title for a television reality show—“The Sane, The Insane, and Those in Between.”

“Democracy” is a word heralded from many media venues these days. It makes sense, as “we the people” have been engaging in angry uprisings in various spots around the globe for a host of reasons. For our discussion, the reasons behind the uprisings are not as important as the one key commonality—change in leadership.

The Federal Reserve Bank Note may soon have monetary competition within the United States, as a growing number of individual states are looking for economic salvation from fiat money—currency with no intrinsic worth that the government has decreed legal tender.

Our season of holidays has passed and we look once again to the opportunities that await us in a new year. While it some-times feels as if we are careening toward a cliff to plunge head-long into the abyss of prophetic fulfillment of strategic trends, we have actually plodded along for decades. Why do we suddenly feel the intensity? Because we have, or are, awakening out of our normalcy bias.

In Part 1 of this article, we discussed the inspiring concept of “coordination” as outlined in Rescuing a Broken America: Why America is Deeply Divided and How to Heal it Constitutionally by Michael Coffman, Ph.D. In Part 2, we will discuss the success stories and how to move forward.

The U.S. 2010 mid-term elections are now over, and many who are weary of political rhetoric are ready to take a few months off until the 2012 campaigns begin in earnest. At least that is the way I feel. That is, until I had the opportunity to listen to a presentation by Michael Coffman, Ph.D.

By the time this article is published, the 2010 elections in the United States will be one day away. It is therefore with much interest that we study the compelling case made by Angelo M. Codevilla in “America’s Ruling Class And the Perils of Revolution”—the contest is truly not between the political parties of Republicans and Democrats. The struggle for power is between the “ruling class” and the “country class.”

In discussing the status of America recently, a friend challenged me with a statement: “A question pierces the conscience, whereas an accusation hardens the heart.” It seems that the status of America raises many questions, as well as many accusations. For purpose of this discussion, however, the accusations come from Scripture.

To watch the political landscape in America today is to watch a body’s immune system on over-drive; a condition that causes the body to attack itself unto death unless it is brought back under control. Lulled to sleep by relatively easy prosperity, Americans have for decades given up their freedoms piece by piece.

As the 9th anniversary of September 11, 2001 approaches and we memorialize the slain and remember the events of that day, New York City is once again in the headlines. The debate of whether or not to allow the building of an Islamic mosque two blocks from “Ground Zero” is doing more than pouring salt into the wounds of history—it is rewriting history.

The deceit of audacity defines a new battlefront in the U.S. border security and immigration debate. The Governor of the U.S. state of Arizona, Jan Brewer, had the “audacity” on April 23, 2010 to sign into law Senate Bill (SB) 1070—a bill that declared a person found in the United States illegally would also be considered “illegal” in the state of Arizona.

As 2010 dawned, the spirit of “change” in America was palpable. In previous articles, we have discussed many reasons for our attention and our concern. There is one topic; however, we have yet to put to print—U.N.American Education—the un-American infiltration of the United Nations agenda in the American classroom.

On February 14th, as China prepared to welcome in the Chinese New Year, their Year of the Tiger, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao warned of the challenges that lay ahead in 2010.

The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is part of the Bill of Rights as ratified on December 15, 1791.

The rise of Europe, specifically the European Union (EU), has been a strategic trend of interest for decades. The EU stands as the model of regionalization of sovereign states—a necessary step in the direction of globalization.

My apologies, but I could not resist the temptation to spell out something that makes about as much sense as the January reports coming from global financial leadership and economic analysts.

Following the attacks of September 11th, 2001, the philosophy within the United States of combating terrorism with “law enforcement” diametrically changed to the “War on Terror.” As we watched the decade come to a close, we saw the American political will to fight the War on Terror lose steam.
