The Loop or Chicago Loop is one of 77 officially designated community areas located in the City of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is the historic commercial center of downtown Chicago. It is the seat of government for Chicago and Cook County, as well as the historic theater and shopping district (including State Street, "that great street" in the words of the song made famous by Frank Sinatra).^[1](Wikipedia.com)


The Group of Eight (G8) is a forum for the governments of eight large economies. (It excludes some members of the actual eight largest, such as China, Brazil and India). The forum originated with a 1975 summit hosted by France that brought together representatives of six governments: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, thus leading to the name Group of Six or G6. The summit became known as the Group of Seven or G7 the following year with the addition of Canada. In 1997, Russia was added to group which then became known as the G8.^[1] The European Union is represented within the G8 but cannot host or chair summits.^[2] (Wikipedia.com)


Camp David is the country retreat of the President of the United States and his guests.  (Wikipedia.com)

As G8, NATO gather, a thought: what would Romney do?
WASHINGTON DC -- As world leaders meet this weekend for back-to-back summits hosted by President Barack Obama six months ahead of US elections, they would be forgiven for asking themselves a maladroit question: what would Mitt Romney do?

The phrase "What would Jesus do?" (often abbreviated to WWJD) became popular in the United States in the 1990s and as a personal motto for adherents of Evangelical Christianity who used the phrase as a reminder of their belief in a moral imperative to act in a manner that would demonstrate the love of Jesus through the actions of the adherents. A follow-up motto answered the question "Fully Rely On God" (often abbreviated to "FROG").  (Wikipedia.com)

For the record.  Sounds crazy of me to say so and yet, I claim that, this website is the place to which all the nations are being gathered in a figurative sense. 


[INSIGHT on the Scriptures:]

HAR-MAGEDON (Har-Ma·ged′on) [from Heb., meaning "Mountain of Megiddo"]. This name is directly associated with "the war of the great day of God the Almighty." The term applies specifically to the condition, or situation, to which "the kings of the entire inhabited earth" are gathered in opposition to Jehovah and his Kingdom by Jesus Christ. In a number of versions it is rendered "Armageddon." (Re 16:14, 16, AT; KJ; JB; RS; TEV) The name Har-Magedon, taken from Hebrew, means simply "Mountain of Megiddo."
There does not appear to have been a literal place called "Mountain of Megiddo," either inside or outside the Promised Land, before or during the days of the apostle John, who recorded the vision. Hence, Har-Magedon evidently draws its significance from the events associated with the ancient city of Megiddo.

...
"The war of the great day of God the Almighty" at Har-Magedon was not some past event but is depicted in Revelation as future from the time of John's vision. The gathering of the kings to Har-Magedon is described as being a result of the pouring out of the sixth of the seven bowls containing the "last" plagues that will bring to a finish the anger of God. (Re 15:1; 16:1, 2) Also, indicating that the war at Har-Magedon is closely associated with Christ's presence is the warning of his coming as a thief, which is placed between verses 14 and 16 of Revelation chapter 16.
The global aspect of the war is emphasized in the context. There the opponents of Jehovah are identified as "the kings of the entrire inhabited earth," who are mobilized by "expressions inspired by demons."—Re 16:14.

...
Har-Magedon is thus seen to be a fight, not merely among men, but one in which God's invisible armies take part. Its coming is certain and it will take place at the time set by Jehovah God, who "is doing according to his own will among the army of the heavens and the inhabitants of the earth."—Da 4:35; see also Mt 24:36.

The United Nations Security Council imposed sanctions against North Korea after its first nuclear test in 2006 and stepped up sanctions after its second test in 2009, hoping to derail the country's rogue nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.

North Korea earlier this month threatened to bolster its nuclear arsenal at any cost.

President Barak Obama said Saturday that world leaders also made progress at Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland on other international issues at the summit, including on Iran and Syria.

For the record. Kim Jong-il was educated and groomed in the U.K. and probably his son was, too. South Korea and North Korea report to the U.S./U.K.
