0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Gary Stearman of Prophecy Watchers, and we have a very special guest in studio |
0:11.8 | today. You're going to be interested in hearing what he has to say. And of course, our co-host |
0:18.0 | and good friend Mondo Gonzalez is at the other end of the table. |
0:21.7 | Mando, it's good to have you here. |
0:23.4 | It's good to be here, Gary. |
0:25.0 | Between us we have, let's put it this way, a lot of information packed into the persona |

1:24.0 | And there's so many people I know who were sovietologists, none of them caught it. |
1:32.7 | Similar in Israel and in the Middle East, things happen that nobody predicted and everything goes haywire. And I would say the key word here would be the Arab Spring. Everybody thought |
1:39.5 | the Arab Spring would bring democracy, freedom, and there is no country where there was democracy |
1:47.0 | or freedom. Just a lot of people died and the same corruption. There is no democracy in Islam. |
1:52.0 | So the Muslims themselves say it, that there cannot be democracy in Islam. And so in that |
