It should be easy to understand why the forces of insanity have multiplied against us.
We're not like the Roman Empire, but we are going to be.
One can not have a destiny outside of God's Will.
Breaking with God's Will causes one to break with their destiny.
American Manifest Destiny cannot exist apart from the Will of God.
We're the hope of the world, but first we have to save ourselves.

This is a better presentation, the first one was just his most recent on Youtube. There's going to be a lot repeated because he just uses the same presentation over and over slightly tweaking it for whoever his audience is. Consulting has to be the biggest con on Earth, but let's digress.

This exhibit tells the story of one of the most consequential diplomatic partnerships in history.

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan and Saint John Paul II established formal diplomatic relations between the United States and the Holy See.  In doing so, they formally recognized a bond that existed since the founding of our nation.

As this exhibit illustrates, America's friendship with the Vatican has grown over the centuries into a global partnership based on common values, mutual respect, and moral leadership.

The key Administration players were all devout Roman Catholics -- CIA chief William Casey, Allen, Clark, Haig, Walters and William Wilson, Reagan's first ambassador to the Vatican. They regarded the U.S.-Vatican relationship as a holy alliance: the moral force of the Pope and the teachings of their church combined with their fierce anticommunism and their notion of American democracy. Yet the mission would have been impossible without the full support of Reagan, who believed fervently in both the benefits and the practical applications of Washington's relationship with the Vatican. One of his earliest goals as President, Reagan says, was to recognize the Vatican as a state "and make them an ally."
