She stood within two feet of me holding “the cup“. You know, the plain red cup Starbucks is issuing this holiday season.The one without so much as a snowflake or a sparkle on it to indicate that the holidays are here. Nothing, nada …. with the exception of its plain red exterior that is, if you want to count that. Not that Starbucks ever contributed anything to the real reason for the season anyway, but, at least their cups had sparkle.
I wanted to ask her, the young woman holding the cup. “Did you notice the new cup? It’s just plain red, nothing for the holidays on it“. But, I didn’t say anything. I’m not all that outgoing anyway, when it comes to striking up conversations with strangers, but, I kept looking at the cup and wanting to say something. But, I didn’t.
What did I think was going to happen? Would her wrath explode on me for pointing out the deficiency of her cup? Would she have said, “mind your own business” or perhaps looked at me blankly as if I had just arrived from some other planet? For in this politically correct world, who, am I to say anything about her cup, good, bad or otherwise anyway. Although most likely she would have said, “Oh, really, I hadn’t noticed” or something to that effect.
The point is political correctness is killing this country. No longer need we worry about someone taking our freedom from us …. we’ve voluntarily surrendered it!
First, we couldn’t say Merry Christmas, lest someone be offended, so we switched to Happy Holidays! Well, apparently that isn’t enough. Maybe, we shouldn’t acknowledge the holidays at all ….. that way no one is offended.
Everyone equal, everyone on the same footing, the plain red cup …. welcome to the USSR, comrade.
And, in some ways that might just be better. For the way things are going now, we’re headed for a repeat of Nazi Germany, where folks are encouraged to spy on each other and to report to authorities real or imagined infractions.
Take any business or job in America and with the right words and the right accusations, any employee can be fired with little or no recourse, the business closed, and the proprietors facing jail time. And it’s just a short hop, skip and a jump until the same thing effects churches, private homes, (Christian or otherwise) and schools.
You’re teaching Johnnie what???? Next thing you know, the state has removed your child from your home and you’ve been forced to relocate to a new one …..this one with bars.
We’re letting this happen people. We’ve poked God in the eye, sat on our thumbs and arrogantly thought, “hey, this is America, we deserve the good life, let the good times roll.” And as long as the beer flows and our team wins …. who, the **** cares.
Indeed.
Its very late in the game people. The Starbucks red cup is the canary in the coal mine, in my opinion. And this is why ….. because its really not about Christmas. It’s about the subtle cleansing of the culture of any vestige of Christianity. And, just like gay marriage is not really about marriage this really not about Christmas …. it is just another means to an end.
It’s so simple and yet so diabolical.
In order to exercise tolerance ….. intolerance must be exercised first.
In other words, until there is no right, wrong, good, bad, male, female, or anything else – true tolerance ( as they see it) can never take root ….. therefore, anyone who says otherwise cannot and will not be tolerated.
Once those who resist have been eradicated …… then, tolerance, true tolerance can be established and the utopia of truly equality realized.. No moral identity, no racial identity, no sexual identity, no cultural identity, no religious identity, no spiritual identity. Everyone the same.
First you blur the lines and then you erase them altogether.
The plain red cup.
It’s communism and Nazism repackaged. Same devil, same lie …. new strategy.
Strange as its being “sold” as exactly the opposite. “Eat this bread”, the devil says and “live”.
Prepare for what’s ahead folks. Circle the wagons. Stop the bread and circus that is going on in so many churches and tell your pastors that its time to prepare God’s people for the hard times ahead. For this time there is no Churchill, no allied army coming to the rescue. Before this one is over folks, it will take the second coming of Jesus to make things right.

If you dig just a little deeper you will find that the RRC is the reason for the season and it has nothing to do with the Lamb of God.

B. Netanyahu is the man of the hour for Israel today. FDR and his men in power were reluctant to support Churchill with his requests for support against the Germans. History is repeating itself. Of course we, as believers know how this will end, all to the glory of God.

Actually, Roosevelt was very anxious to get involved in the war, the problem is he won the presidency twice by promising the American families that their boys would not have to fight in foreign wars again.
But in 1940, a code clerk at the U.S. embassy in London had discovered secret communications between President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill revealing a strong determination on Roosevelt’s part to engage America in the war. Unfortunately for the clerk he was caught trying to smuggle some of the documents out of the embassy. Consequently, he was charged with obtaining documents that “might be directly or indirectly useful to an enemy” and in a secret British court was convicted and therefore confined to a British prison until the war ended. The clerk’s name was Tyler Gatewood Kent.
On October 7, 1940, A memorandum from Lieutenant Commander Arthur H. McCollum, head of the Far East desk of the Office of Naval Intelligence, advocated eight specific actions that were deemed suffice to provoke Japan into attacking the United States. In it the Commander wrote, “If by these means Japan could be led to commit an overt act of war, so much the better.” Consequently, President Roosevelt over the following year enacted all eight of McCollum’s recommendations.
November 25, 1941, Secretary of War Henry Stimson wrote in his diary that FDR said an attack was likely within days, and presented the question, “How we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot without too much danger to ourselves. In spite of the risk involved, however, in letting the Japanese fire the first shot, we realized that in order to have the full support of the American people it was desirable to make sure that the Japanese be the ones to do this so that there should remain no doubt in anyone’s mind as to who were the aggressors.” Thus Stimson made another entry that day stating, “The question was how we should maneuver them [the Japanese] into the position of firing the first shot…”
November 26, 1941, An ultimatum was sent to Japan’s ambassadors demanding as prerequisites to resumed trade a complete withdrawal of all troops from China and Indochina, and in effect abrogate her Tripartite Treaty with Germany and Italy.
Therefore we can see why in 1944, British Minister of Production, Oliver Lyttleton stated, “Japan was provoked into attacking America at Pearl Harbor. It is a travesty of history to say that America was forced into the war.”
In his 1948 biography, “Roosevelt and Hopkins: An Intimate History,” Robert Sherwood wrote, “If the isolationists had known the full extent of the secret alliance between the United States and Britain, their demands for the President’s impeachment would have rumbled like thunder through the land.”
Even back then Americans were being brain wash into supporting the agendas of the elite by media lap dogs.

Thanks William for pointing out what many do not understand about Pearl Harbor. After living in Hawaii for 14 years, where Pearl Harbor was visible to me just about daily from where I lived, it is a very sobering thought. And, I think we are very soon due for a similar type of incident. Watching closely what is going on off the coast of So. Cal. Cindy

Red Cup Canary is an awesome post, Cindy! We are all being acclimated to having everything good and true made into a lie. Our thoughts and beliefs are no longer ours … if we submit. And yes, we are all guilty of being dumbed down into silence on occasion. Thank God there is no Starbucks where I live and folks are still holding on to rational thought but it’s only a matter of time before every nook and cranny is saturated by the lies of the evil one. The indoctrination has been ongoing for decades now. The one thing the enemy can’t control is the remnant. There will be a remnant that will never accept the lies. Hold on to that, sister.

I have a hard time jumping on the “red cup” bandwagon which is being driven by many christians, or in my mind “so-called” christians. What happened when the CEO of Starbucks stated that if you don’t support gay rights then they don’t need your money. I stopped drinking Starbucks at that time. The red cup to me means nothing which has not been stated already by Starbucks. We live in a world in which western democracy is bad and communism is good. We live in a world which is emulating the days of Nimrod and trying to join together as one and that is why our cultures are diminishing, communism is on the rise and Lucifer almost has his one world order complete.
My advice to all Christians — STOP supporting Starbucks. They will never celebrate Christ at Christmas time nor any other time. They support all that we are opposed to. STOP SUPPORTING THEM!!!!
