These advice surgeries are periodical (not frequent) events where politicians speak with their constituents needing assistance. Residents of Birstall, which is considered a relaxed small market town, were delighted that MP Jo Cox took an active interest in their town.
Ms Cox had been shot three times and stabbed multiple times with a foot-long knife. The man arrested at the scene is 52 year old Thomas Mair.

Teens said they had no problem with the 'quiet' man, who only got upset if they climbed the wall behind his house and hung out there for awhile. Those who had seen him leave his home that day stated he appeared "calm" and "normal".
About Labour MP Jo Cox
She was employed some summers in the same factory where her father worked, packing toothpaste. Although originally unplanned, she won a place at Cambridge where she stayed about five years.
She later went on visiting developing countries as an aid worker and eventually became the head of global policy for Oxfam. Max Lawson, a former colleague who worked under Cox called her "...a brilliant committed activist for social justice with boundless energy and kindness who made a huge contribution to Oxfam."
Ms Cox was involved in Labour Women's Network and fully backed women's roles in politics. She took the Batley and Spen seat in Parliament when it became free.
She chaired for the parliamentary group (all-party) on Syria, co-writing an article with Andrew Mitchell (former Conservative Aid Secretary), where she argued that there was a strong humanitarian case that required military action in Syria.
It is for that reason that the alleged shout, "Britain First", from assailant Thomas Mair struck home. The comment has yet to be validated, which can only be verified by police in their investigation and interrogation of Mair.
Britain First is a (far-left) patriotic political
party and street defence organisation. A spokesman
for Britain First has denied any ties with Thomas Mair and insisted that he
acted on his own initiative. Reports vary as to whether Mair
actually shouted, “Britain First” after the attack on Ms. Cox.
The deputy leader of Britain First,
Jayda Fransen, called the attack “absolutely
disgusting”. She suggested that “Britain
First” has become a common slogan used by those supporting Brexit during
the EU referendum campaign.
She went on to state that the phrase
used is thus far hearsay and is anxiously awaiting further details from the
police for verification. It is
well-known that before the June 23 Brexit vote takes place, Ms. Cox was pushing
for England to remain in the EU.
Out of respect for Labour MP Jo Cox,
all rival referendum campaign groups have pulled back, suspending all planned
activities, including PM David Cameron who cancelled a planned rally in
Gibraltar on the southern coast of Spain (British territory).
A spokesman for Britain First adamantly denies that suspect Thomas Mair has any ties with their political party.
“While we celebrate our diversity, what surprises me time and
time again as I travel around the constituency is that we are far more united
and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.”
On May 24, 2016, in a speech made in the House of Commons, Ms Cox had this to say about counter-ISIL tactics (starvation and seiges in Syria):
Is it not now clear that the success of the
international coalition against ISIS [Isil] will be limited so long
as civilians in Syria continue to be subject to starvation tactics,
besiegement and attacks with impunity? Is it not time for a rethink on the UK
strategy so that it focuses much more on civilian protection?
To that end, has operational planning begun by the Ministry of
Defence and the Department for International Development on supporting
the World Food Programme in its deadline of 1 June on airdrops
to besieged communities?
She had strong, thought-provoking words to say to the Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond in 2015, December:
"I remain deeply concerned about the lack of progress on civilian
protection inside Syria, much of which is being perpetrated by the Assad
regime. Does the Secretary of State agree that ending Assad’s
indiscriminate use of barrel bombs is a key confidence-building measure that
should be prioritized alongside efforts towards a formal ceasefire?
Should a ceasefire not be delivered on Friday, may I urge him to look again at the other measures to protect civilians, including putting in place no-bombing zones. Will he also reconfirm the government's unequivocal commitment not to have truck with anyone - including Boris Johnson - who says that working with Assad's forces is a compromise that we should be willing to make?
That would be not only morally wrong, but counter-productive given that Assad is Daesh's biggest recruiting sergeant."
Also in 2015, during a heated debate, Ms Cox stated that the England could no longer ignore Syria and that inaction would see the refugee crisis worsen and deaths increase.
"To conclude, this conflict has proved time and again its propensity to escalate month on month, year on year. For moral reasons - and national self-interest - we can no longer afford to ignore Syria.
Indeed, inaction will only see a growth in the number of Syrians killed, the number of refugees fleeing and the potential threat to British national security from ISIS.
I urge all Members to look to the best traditions in the histroy of their parties and to think about the personal role that they can play to protect civilians in Syria and further afield.
The voices of Syrians have been absent from this debate for far too long. they have been asking for protection for years and no one has been listening. It is now time for us to listen and to act. Source:

Words of acting chief constable, Dee Collins of the West Yorkshire Police:
"I’m
now very sad to have to report that [Jo Cox] has died as a result of her
injuries. Before going into further detail I would like to express our
deepest sympathies to her family and friends at this tragic time.
Jo was attacked by a man who inflicted serious and, sadly
ultimately fatal, injuries. Subsequently there was a further attack on a 77-year-old man who
sustained injuries that are non-life threatening. Shortly afterwards a man was arrested nearby by local uniformed
police officers. Weapons, including a firearm, have also been recovered.
At 1:48 pm, Jo Cox was pronounced deceased by a doctor who was working with a paramedic crew that
were attending to her serious injuries. This is a very significant investigation with large numbers of
witnesses that have been spoken to by police at this time.
There is a large and significant crime scene and there is a
large police presence in the area. A full investigation is underway to establish the motive for
this attack.
There are specifically trained officers with Jo’s immediate
family who are fully aware of what has taken place and we would ask the media
to respect their privacy at this very difficult time.
Additional officers are working in the local community this
afternoon and evening in order to provide reassurance and support to our
communities.
Clearly, as this inquiry is at an early stage and we have an
individual under arrest, we are not in a position to discuss any motive at this
time. We are not looking for anyone else in connection with this
incident.
Husband Brendan Cox who had been a senior executive at Save the Children, before he stepped down last year, had these words to sat to the media:
"Today
is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful,
less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo's friends and family are going to work
every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the
hate that killed Jo."
"Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.
"She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn't have a creed, race or religion, it is poisionous. Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full."
Tributes from Those who Knew Jo Cox
Jo Cox had nominated Jeremy Corbyn at one time before he took leadership of the Labour party in September 2015. In an article co-written with Labour MP Neil Coyle, Cox had accused Corbyn of "weak leadership, poor judgment and a mistaken sense of priorities".
The
whole of the Labour party and Labour family - and indeed the whole country -
will be in shock at the horrific murder of Jo Cox today.
Jo had a lifelong record of public service and a deep commitment
to humanity. She worked both for Oxfam and the anti-slavery charity, the
Freedom Fund, before she was elected last year as MP for Batley and Spen –
where she was born and grew up.
Jo was dedicated to getting us to live up to our promises to
support the developing world and strengthen human rights – and she brought
those values and principles with her when she became an MP.
Jo
died doing her public duty at the heart of our democracy, listening to and
representing the people she was elected to serve. It is a profoundly important
cause for us all.
Jo was universally liked at Westminster, not just by her Labour
colleagues, but across Parliament.
In the coming days, there will be questions to answer about how
and why she died. But for now all our thoughts are with Jo’s husband Brendan
and their two young children. They will grow up without their mum, but can be
immensely proud of what she did, what she achieved and what she stood for.
We
send them our deepest condolences. We have lost a much loved colleague, a real
talent and a dedicated campaigner for social justice and peace. But they have
lost a wife and a mother, and our hearts go out to them." Jeremy Corbyn
"Absolutely devastating news about Jo Cox. Truly dreadful. One of the
brightest and best of the new MPs and a great loss to the country."
former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond
The
whole of the Labour movement is devastated at Jo’s death. We have lost a
colleague so young who had much more to contribute to public life. She was our
future.
It is hard to comprehend how a compassionate, principled and
beautiful person can be taken away from us so cruelly. It’s even more
devastating because she was doing what she did best - serving her constituents.
We grieve her loss. Our love and prayers are with Brendan and
Jo’s family.
deputy Labour leader Tom Watson
A few others who paid tribute are Lord Hague, Ian Duncan Smith (former Work and Pension Secretary, Penny Mordaunt, the Armed Forces minister (known to Jo from her work in Syria), Boris Johnson, colleague, and Karl Turner Shadow, Attorney General.
Lord Nigel Jones and Stephen Timms, Labour MP for EAst Hamm were two other politicians that had been attacked in the past. They both survived.
Breaking News
The Orlando
shooting at The Pulse nightclub in Florida has websites everywhere
discussing it. Said to be the worst mass shooting on American soil, it is not a
surprise that many sites are buzzing, calling it a false flag, complete with
crisis actors, false witnesses and more.
For
example, there is the unexplained finish on a clip that was first shown on a
news station. It shows three men carrying another man who is wearing red shoes.
Supposedly, he is one of the injured from the gay nightclub, but oddly, the men
are carrying him toward the club. Credit: saboteur365
website for two photos
The other
oddity comes at the end of the video where the men set the ‘injured’ man down on
his feet, and then one of the ‘carriers’ is seen smiling.
It is a video first shown on Fox News, but
before revealing the video to its news audience, the station cut the video off.
The video posted is the extended version of that same video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXRNKn4YRfk
Topics are
covering the name of the club, The Pulse. In Canada
(Canadian agricultural government
website), a “pulse is an edible seed harvested from the pod of a variety of
annual leguminous (grain legume, peas, beans, lentils, wheat).
Since it includes “wheat”, Christian
conspiracy theorists are declaring 2016 as the year of the “wheat and tares”.
Talk of ‘fallen angels’ and the New World Order are also being posited
as the ‘age of deceit’. Very oddly, a
neighbour’s niece quickly and boldly approached me, extending her hand in a
friendly gesture to shake hands in greeting. She smugly introduced herself as a
‘fallen angel’ as she saw me getting
out of my car.
I myself
have always had a strong handshake, but hers far surpassed the handshake of any
man I’ve shaken hands with, and I have shaken countless hands of strong men over
the years.
Her uncle
says she “works out”, but her strength is very uncommon, even for a strong ‘woman’
(key word, ‘woman’) – and that’s a fact, not conspiracy and very odd,
indeed. Coincidence? Perhaps…but it does reveal the mindset of people today and how it is now 'cool' to call evil good and good evil.
Woe
unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and
light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! [Is 5:20]
Paul Craig Roberts’
website actually wants to back up the official story and has asked readers
to help him find inconclusive evidence of bodies, blood etc. No cell phone
evidence from any patrons etc. Websites continue on to compare this to San
Bernardino, Sandy Hook, Boston Marathon et al.
Global Woes
Four were killed last week in Israel, in what is being called a
terrorist shooting in a Tel
Aviv mall, where four people were killed.
Milk and eggs were said
to be selling at over $100 - $150 each. Power outages, food shortages, rioting
and looting have brought out the riot police to deal with the mayhem, resulting
in over 400 being arrested.
A stabbing
in a Calgary
clinic leaves one dead and one injured.
An ISIS
[ISIL or Daesh] ‘kill list’ with the names of 150 Canadian women has surfaced
and come to the attention of officials. The list included names of military
personnel, government officials and more prominent names in Canada. PM Justin Trudeau:
“Obviously,
we are constantly reminded with various examples of the threat posed by the “so-called”
Islamic State, and that is why Canada is a significant player in the coalition
against ISIL in the Middle East and why we are working so robustly on one of
the fundamental responsibilities of any government, which is to keep its
citizens safe.
I can
assure you that our security agencies and police forces are very much active on
a broad range of files to ensure the safety of Canadians, but I won’t make any specific
comments on particular issues or allegations.”
“Kill lists”
are not something new. In fact, the
personal information and names of 3,600 New York residents surfaced in April
and was documented by SITE (Search
for International Terrorist Entities), a U.S. Intelligence Group, stating that “thousands of names of individuals have been
released in recent months” (by ISIS hacker groups)
Rita Katz,
SITE director stated:
“Jihadi kill lists are not at all a new
thing. However, lists released by pro-Islamic State hacking groups are quickly
forming a genre of their own, especially when noting the differences in which
types of targets they identify.”
Global News
(the source of information) writes:
Due to privacy and
safety concerns Global News will not be publishing the names of Canadians
included on the list.

Conclusion
Some people state that they do not want to hear what is going on around the world because it is depressing, whilst others are consumed by it.
I have said this before and must say it again. The prophets of old, as well as Jesus, his twelve apostles and his disciples were all aware of the political scene, the evil around them and how the people in general felt.
We must be aware of what is going on globally. We cannot be oblivious to what is happening globally, but neither can we walk in constant fear. The balance comes by spending time with the Lord, in His Word, in prayer and in walking with Him, abiding in Christ. Synonyms of abiding: stand for, acknowledge, obey, endure, suffer and withstand, just to name a few.
Yes, even the word 'suffer' is under "abide" as a synonym, which makes me think of a scripture immediately.
Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things He suffered [Heb 5:8]
From increased earthquake
activity globally (with 106 in the last 24 hours, of various degrees); volcanic activity (monitoring places such as Japan, Papua New Guinea, Japan, Costa Rica, Indonesia et al); strange
hybrids (animals) and cloning
factories popping up like this one in Korea.
Just as spoken of in the book of Daniel (in many countries), there is the changing of laws (Canada
Supreme Court approves sex acts with pets; bestiality to be redefined);
the applauded push of an ailing MP to change Canada’s
national anthem lyrics to be non-gender specific (from: “all of thy sons’ command” to “all of us command”) and on and
on it goes.

For several years, off and on, I have shared about trust, patience and waiting, but never has it been so important as it is now for the remnant of true believers. If ever there was a time that the true must stand strong, it is now.
There is much happening not only in the physical realm but in the spiritual realm. If ever the body of Christ needed encouragement and direction, it is now. I hope to have an article up late tomorrow covering it.
The Lord warned us of increased and unnecessary deaths in 2016. Folks might say, "Well, that is a given." Yes, perhaps it is; however, how often is it that the Lord sees it necessary to forewarn. He wants us aware, very aware, of the lateness of the hour - the times we are in, the last of the last days.
This is what was posted in January, 2016:

This is what was posted in January, 2016:
This year 2016 shall bring many more deaths, not only in wars with ISIS (Daesh), but also in internal conflicts amongst the people and
government agencies (even with those who are supposed to protect the
people).
Death also shall be in cataclysmic events, ‘resurrected’ diseases and violence (protests
and riots in various nations) among people (for political, ‘religious’ and
personal reasons) that could have been avoided.
It is driven by demonic
forces in the workers of iniquity (wickedness,
deviation from the right path, pain-ridden evil), [sinful humans
worshipping Satan, false gods that people call by different names]. This pertains to all nations, all peoples, tribes and
clans.
for His glory alone
