CNN —

The United Methodist Church overturned its 40-year ban on gay clergy Wednesday, marking a historic shift in the church’s stance on homosexuality.

The church has long been divided into factions over LGBTQ inclusion and even weighed splitting into two separate churches over the issue, CNN previously reported.

In 1984, the church banned “self-avowed practicing homosexuals” from becoming members of the clergy, and later added performing or celebrating same-sex unions to “a list of chargeable offenses that could result in a church trial,” according to a timeline of the church’s history with the LGBTQ community.

The Methodist community spent the ensuing decades debating, fighting and praying over their stance on gay clergy and LGBTQ members. But Wednesday’s vote by the church’s top legislative body signaled a historic shift toward acceptance and inclusion.

In a 692-51 vote, church leaders passed several rules without debate, including overturning both its ban on gay clergy and the penalties for holding same-sex marriages, according to the United Methodist News service.

After the vote, Hope Morgan Ward, a retired bishop in the United Methodist Church, prayed the church would be used as “peacemakers and servants” and be “welcoming of all people into the embrace of God.”

According to the Methodist news service, members cheered, cried and hugged after the vote.

“We’ve been going on like this since the ’70s and, finally, in just a brief few minutes with no debate, it was gone. And now we can get on about the business of the church,” Marilyn Murphy, an observer from the church’s South Carolina conference, told the news service.

LGBTQ advocates within the church hailed the decision.

Matt Patrick, co-pastor at the University United Methodist Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, told CNN he became emotional after the church announced the decision.

“I did tear up this morning at the announcement of the vote because it was just a huge relief to see justice had been done after so many years,” he said. “There’s just been a lot of pain in order to get us to this place.”

Though the prohibition on gay clergy has been removed from the church bylaws, Patrick said the work will continue to ensure the Methodist church is as an inclusive place for everyone.

“Where we go from here, God only knows,” he said.

More changes are expected as the legislative conference continues in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The war in Gaza and rebellion against the God of the Bible

Is it alright to bring God into the discussion about the war between Israel and Hamas? Are the Israelis not just colonialists, annexing the land and displacing the native population? A short review of the history of the region in question and its biblical context sketches an astoundingly simple answer to the question of the war in Gaza.

It is especially people who consider themselves to be fighting for a better, fairer world, who are filled with righteous fury towards aggressors – in this case, Israelis and Jews around the world – and allow their blind sympathy for victims to propel them along, in this case, the Palestinian people. “It is a matter of fairness, of human rights,” many say, appalled. This week in Sudan, Nigeria, and Somalia, thousands were raped, murdered, or displaced, but most people do not even register that as a sidenote. North Korea, China, Pakistan, Yemen, and many other countries who spit upon human rights as a matter of course, where people are slaughtered like animals daily, are given neither sympathy nor their share of righteous fury. There must be something about the conflict between Israel and Palestine that captures the attention of not just Islamic, but also non-Islamic nations. 2 Everyone is forced to take a side – and often, the side that is taken stands again Israel and the Jews. The fact is that the question of the God of the Bible is not just a religious footnote in this conflict, but is actually the main factor, even if its relevance and application are often haphazard, unthinking, and unconscious. The Bible is the most-read book in the whole world. It has heavily influenced many nations, traditions, and cultures. In the Bible, the Jews are called the chosen people of God. In and through them, God wants to both broach the topic of His relationship with humanity and bring it to fruition. Important to note is that it is not the self-image of the Jews that matters in this respect, but alone the fact that God chose them and connected His name to them forever. He gave this heavily disputed strip of land as an inheritance to their forefather Abraham and his descendants, Isaac and Jacob, about 2100 years before Christ (vis. Gen 12:6-7, 13:15, 26:2- 5, 28:13-15, 35:9-11).

Israel’s History Goes Way Back

After the people of Israel lived in the promised land for 500 years as a loose collection of tribes, they were ruled by King Saul. King Saul was the first king of Israel and the founder of Israel as a concrete nation-state. The Kingdom of Israel changed as it grew larger, was divided and later subjugated by a number of conquering nations, but it remained a nation until the year 135 A.D. That year, the Romans put down the Bar Kokhba revolt; Emperor Hadrian changed the name of this rebellious province from “Judea” to “Syria-Palestine” to erase the memory of the Jewish people from history. From the eighth century onwards for 1,300 years, the land was ruled by the Muslims – with a short interlude of 90 years during which the Crusaders held it. WWI brought the end of Islamic rule, and the Holy Land was brought under the mandate of Great Britain as a protectorate. To go into detail about the inglorious and conflict-seeding rule of Britain in the Orient would go beyond the scope of this article. The only concession to the Jewish people was the Balfour Declaration in 1917 which promised them a home in Palestine. However, mounting pressure from the Arabic nations caused the British administration to prevent the immigration of Jews into Palestine during WWII. The British sent many Jewish refugees back to Europe, where they found death in Nazi concentration camps. Incited and supported by the Arab nations, the ethnic Arabic inhabitants of Palestine emphatically resisted the immigration of Jews. A struggle for survival ensued, with terror and assassinations on both sides. The British offered neither help nor protection, instead turning to the international community (UN) to ask 3 for a solution. The international community decided to divide the land into two parts: A Jewish one, and an Arabic one. The Arabs would have East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza. The Jews accepted the division, the Arabs rejected it. When the Jews declared the Nation of Israel on their allotted territory in 1948, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt immediately declared war on them and attacked the Jewish state as soon as the British left. The nascent nation fought desperately for survival and was able to win the war through God’s intervention. Many Arabs fled from Palestine into the surrounding countries during the war. The Arab nations promised them that they would drive the Jews into the ocean soon enough and that the refugees would be able to return to a liberated, Jew-free Palestine. Most of these refugees still live, three generations later, in the same refugee camps, because their Arabic brothers refuse to give them citizenship in their new homes.

God Is the One Who Acts

The idea that the State of Israel is only a product of the collective guilty conscience of Europeans is not just widely spread in the Islamic world. Israel has become a dangerous risk to world peace. The voices calling for Israel to yield to the stipulations and demands of the Arabic world and withdraw to the 1967 borders are getting louder and louder. For the Jews, this would mean handing over East Jerusalem – and with it, the Temple Mount and the Western Wall, the site of their ethnic and religious identity per se – to the Muslims. For 2000 years, the scattered Jewish people have prayed every year at their feast of Passover: “Next year in Jerusalem!” God scattered His people among every other people of the world to punish them for their disobedience and disregard of His commandments. But He also promised them, that one day He would gather them together out of all nations and bring them back to the land of their fathers, to fulfil His will concerning them and all nations of the world. You can read this in Ezekiel 20:40-44, 36:16-37, and 37:21-23, as well as Isaiah 11:12, 43:6, 49:22, and Jeremiah 31:10. God is the one who acts in the history of the Jews, even if they themselves do not believe it. The fight against the Jewish people and their claim to the land is, in the end, a fight against God and His plans

The Fight for the Inheritance of the Chosen People

The conflict between Israel and Palestine is not just political. That a two-state solution is no answer to the problem at hand is easy to conclude from the absolute lack of interest in it on the side of the Arabs. The Arabic states had nearly 20 years between 1948 and 1967 to raise up a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital – and the UN backing them every step of the way. During this time, East Jerusalem and the West Bank belonged to the Kingdom of Jordan and Gaza to Egypt. But these states did not consider the option of declaring a Palestinian state and sending the refugees there for even a moment. On the contrary: In 1964, the Egyptian president and leading figure of Pan-Arabism Gamal Abdel Nasser founded the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organisation) with the express goal of freeing Palestine from the Jews. Other Arabic states involved themselves in this project. Yasser Arafat, the long-time leader of the PLO, and his successor Mahmud Abbas rejected every single Israeli offer of a two-state solution. In the end, they were not free to make any decisions on their own. The goals of the Arabic-Islamic nations that sponsored them were much more fundamental: The Jewish state was to cease to exist, to disappear entirely. To reach this goal, the suffering of the Palestinian people must be upheld in order to leverage it against the West and Israel itself. This objective was validated in 1969 in the course of the “Fourth Conference of the Academy of Islamic Research” at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo. In 1967, the government of Israel got wind of an assault planned by the Arabic states. In six days, the Israeli army was able to defeat and push back the superior forces of the Arabs with a pre-emptive strike. This was a huge shock to the entirety of the Islamic world: For the first time since the Crusaders, Temple Mount was not in Islamic hands. This experience deeply unsettled Islamic self-perception. The Muslims understand themselves as the chosen faith community that God assigned to rule the world in the name of the true religion. In the eyes of Islam, Christians are ultimately just idolaters since they worship Jesus in addition to Allah. Jews, however, are a real problem: They understand themselves as the people of God, and that undermines the Islamic self-perception as God’s true chosen people. Islam teaches that God discarded the once-chosen Jewish people and that because the Muslims succeeded them as God’s chosen people, all the spiritual and physical inheritances of the Jews now belong to the Muslims. All the Jewish prophets and important figures such as David and Solomon were declared Muslims posthumously and integrated into the Islamic concept. In Islam, Jerusalem is considered the City of Prophets. Whoever rules her is also the legitimate inheritor of her spiritual authority. By losing control of Jerusalem in 1967, this spiritual authority and the Islamic claim to world domination were badly shaken.

The Islamic Perspective

In 1969, at the aforementioned conference at Al-Azhar University, the most notable spiritual and political leaders of the Islamic world came 5 together to discuss why Allah would allow his chosen Islamic community to be defeated by the Jews whom he had discarded. They came to the conclusion that this could only have happened because the Islamic community had allowed itself to be corrupted by the ideology of the unbelieving West, adopting godless concepts such as human rights and democracy. Their solution was: Back to the true Islam of the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet! Back to world-domination under the rule of Islam! An explanation was offered for the return of the Jews into the Holy Land and City of Prophets: A passage was found in the Islamic traditions (the hadith) where the return of the Jews at the end of time was foretold as early as the eighth century. This would happen so that the Islamic community might administer God’s judgment over them. The conquering of the world by Islam would be prefaced by the total destruction of this people, rejected by God. After 1969, since the Islamic nations were not able to defeat Israel militarily, they began sending the other nations a very clear message through economic pressure and targeted terror: “Those who call themselves friends of the Jews are our enemies.” Coupled with the accusation that the West does not care about social justice or the suffering of the Arabs, they did not have to wait long for the desired reaction to manifest. No nation has ever been irrationally condemned as many times by the UN Security Council as Israel. In the year 2023, the UN Assembly passed no less than 14 resolutions against Israel alone, and seven resolutions total against all other centres of conflict worldwide. This is rather astounding since Israel is the only state in the entire Middle East that allows its minorities access to every level of political and social position. The same kind of irrational action can also be seen in the attitude of the UN towards the current war between Israel and Hamas. On the 7th of October 2023, militants of the Palestinian terror organisation Hamas attacked Israel.

They deliberately murdered civilians and took a great many hostages. Their openly declared goal was to liberate Jerusalem, destroy and banish the Jews, and to bring the rule of Islam to the entire world. One of their most important commanders, Al Zahar, even broadcasted this on YouTube. When Israel began to defend itself, they were immediately depicted in all manner of social media as a state of violent villains. The cold-blooded calculation of Hamas, that Israel’s retaliation would also claim many civilian victims, paid off. For the release of the hostages, Hamas demanded nothing less than the end of the war and Israel’s definitive withdrawal from Gaza. On top of that, hundreds of condemned Palestinian terrorists were to be released. This is also how the architect of the October massacre by Hamas, Yahya 6 Sinwar, achieved freedom in 2011: By being traded for the Israeli hostage Gilad Shalit. To acquiesce to these demands would be an unthinkable endangerment for Israel. In that case, Hamas – bolstered by their success – would surely not cease fighting for their goal of the destruction of Israel. Completely ignoring Hamas’ self-proclaimed goals and showing an absolutely flabbergasting ignorance of the Islamic world-view, western states demanded that Israel end their offensive and strive for a two-state solution. As if Hamas were interested in anything even approaching peaceful coexistence with a Jewish state.

God’s Claim

Under the auspices of this war, the Jewish community around the world came under pressure. Antisemitism showed itself to be shockingly strong and widespread. How can it be that self-proclaimed fighters for human rights gather in the streets side-by-side with Muslims who have no qualms about implementing violence? Adherents of the LGBTQ+ - movement and feminists have an incredibly short half-life in a state ruled by Islam; Islamic law forbids such ideologies. What unites them in this fight is the question of absolute authority. Both Muslims and non-Muslims revolt against the God of the Bible, and this leads to the most improbable bedfellows. This God claims to be the creator of all life and demands accountability from His creations. Whoever wants to be their own boss and rejects God’s rule because of it will make Him and all who believe in Him an object of hate to themselves. God says that all who trust in their own wisdom and strength are condemned and cursed ( Jeremiah 17:5-6). But He promises those blessings and life who submit to His rule ( Jeremiah 17:7-8).

Adversaries of God

The spirit of adversity and contempt towards God’s reign in the Bible is personified in the person of Esau, also called Edom. For a meal of red lentils, he sold his firstborn birthright. The birthright that marked him as the carrier of God’s promises. With this, he expressed his contempt for the rule of God in his life. When his brother Jacob then appropriated the firstborn birthright for himself, Edom’s contempt turned into hate towards his brother and all his descendants. All the prophets of the Bible bear witness that Edom will do anything to destroy the descendants of Jacob in order to wipe out God’s claim to rule. The Jews are the expression of this claim. This rebellion against God’s claim to rule unites all nations that trust in their own strength and wisdom in their fight against Him. This phenomenon is summarized in Psalm 2: “Why do the nations con- 7 spire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, ’let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”

Jesus Is King

Jesus says: “I am the way and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” ( John 14:6). This is an unbelievably unreasonable thing to expect the proud and independent spirit of humanity to accept. Even if not all Jews believe in the Messiah and Saviour Jesus, their story is still closely bound together with Him. He is the only way to salvation for every person. God brought His Jewish people back to their country in order to write the story of the Last Days. This has everything to do with the reign of peace that the Messiah will bring to all nations (vis. Isaiah 2:1-5, 25:6-9, and Revelation 21:1-8). But before this promised reign of peace begins, the war of the nations against God’s claim must come to pass. Jesus called Jerusalem the City of the Great King. He is that Great King, the one whose reign will manifest itself in Jerusalem. He will hold the Lords of the nations accountable (vis. Zachariah 12:13, 14:1-20, Matthew 10:22, 24:9-11, and John 15:8). The God of the Bible says of Himself that He resists the prideful and lives with those who have humble spirits. He loves all people – Jew and non-Jew. He wants to save them from their downfall. He wants to forgive them, reconcile them, and give them joy, peace, and true freedom – but He has terms. He tells us what they are in His word: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

NYPD Raids Columbia Building

Tuesday, 30 April 2024 10:07 PM EDT

Dozens of helmeted police marched on to Columbia University's campus in the heart of New York City on Tuesday and began evicting a building that had been barricaded by pro-Palestinian student protesters.

AFP journalists could see police climbing up to the second story of Hamilton Hall from a laddered truck and disappear inside, as student newspaper the Columbia Spectator said arrests were being made.

Hamilton Hall had been barricaded at dawn by students who vowed they would fight any eviction, as they protested the soaring death toll from Israel's war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The action came as university administrators around the United States struggle to contain pro-Palestinian demonstrations on dozens of campuses.

The demonstrations — the most sweeping and prolonged unrest to rock U.S. college campuses since the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s and '70s — have already led to several hundred arrests of students and other activists.

Many of them have vowed to maintain their actions despite suspensions and threats of expulsion.

"We will remain here, drawing from the lessons of our people (in Gaza) that stay put, and hold their ground even under the worst conditions," a protester wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh headscarf, who declined to give her name, told reporters outside the hall earlier in the day.

As she spoke, protesters were seen using ropes to hoist crates of supplies up to the building's second floor, apparently signaling the students were hunkering down.

President Joe Biden's White House had sharply criticized the seizure of Hamilton Hall, with a spokesman saying it was "absolutely the wrong approach."

"That is not an example of peaceful protest," the spokesman added.

The protests have posed a challenge to university administrators trying to balance free speech rights with complaints that the rallies have veered into antisemitism and hate.

The unrest has swept through U.S. higher education institutions like wildfire, with many student protesters erecting tent encampments on campuses from coast to coast.

At Columbia, demonstrators have vowed to remain until their demands are met, including that the school divest all financial holdings linked to Israel.

The university has rejected the demand, with President Minouche Shafik saying earlier that talks with students had collapsed.

Columbia has warned that students occupying the building face expulsion.

The university outlined in a press update Tuesday that those in the encampments and Hamilton Hall "number in the dozens," while nearly 37,000 attend Columbia.

- A nationwide movement -

In one of the newest clashes, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, police moved in Tuesday to clear one encampment, detaining some protesters in a tense showdown.

Meanwhile at northern California's Cal Poly Humboldt, a weeklong occupation was brought to a dramatic end early Tuesday when police moved in to arrest nearly three dozen protesters who had seized buildings and forced the closure of the campus.

In Oregon, Portland State University's campus was closed Tuesday "due to an ongoing incident" in the library, college authorities said, after local media reported around 50 protesters had broken into the building a day earlier.

And Brown University reached an agreement in which student protesters will remove their encampment in exchange for the institution holding a vote on divesting from Israel — a major concession from an elite American university during the protests.

Footage of police in riot gear summoned at various colleges has been viewed around the world.

U.N. human rights chief Volker Turk voiced concern at the heavy-handed steps taken to disperse the campus protests, saying "freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly are fundamental to society."

He added, "Incitement to violence or hatred on grounds of identity or viewpoints — whether real or assumed — must be strongly repudiated."

Shafik said many Jewish students had fled Columbia's campus in fear. "Antisemitic language and actions are unacceptable," she said.

Protest organizers deny accusations of antisemitism, arguing their actions are aimed at Israel's government.

The Columbia student group insisted their protest was peaceful and warned authorities against a crackdown similar to those that marred the anti-Vietnam War movement.

The Gaza war started when Hamas militants staged an unprecedented attack on Israel on Oct. 7 that left around 1,170 people dead, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.

During their attack, militants also seized hostages, 129 of whom Israel estimates remain in Gaza, including 34 whom the military says are dead.

Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 34,535 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry.

German ambassador attacked by Palestinian mob during Ramallah visit

Owcza downplayed the incident in a post on X, stating, “Peaceful protest [and] dialogue always has its place.

By TOVAH LAZAROFF, REUTERS

APRIL 30, 2024 14:40 Updated: APRIL 30, 2024 23:30

German Representative to the Palestinian Authority Oliver Owcza was heckled and his vehicle was attacked by students during his visit to Birzeit University near Ramallah in the West Bank on Tuesday.

Social media clips showed him walking quickly to his car as protesters followed him.

Shots also showed how a mob surrounded the vehicle, threw objects at it, kicked it and broke off a side mirror to show their anger at Germany’s support for Israel in the war against Hamas.

Owcza was one of a group of envoys who were attacked at the meeting of European Union heads of missions to the PA at the National Museum.

Before the incident, Palestinian students called on Facebook calling for a protest against the presence of the German representative over his country’s support for Israel in the war.

Palestinian students disrupted the EU meeting and attacked a number of envoys’ vehicles with stones, smashing the back window of one, witnesses said.

One diplomat present told Reuters they were in a meeting when a crowd appeared outside telling them to leave and, after attempts at dialog were unsuccessful, the diplomats left. The experience was unpleasant, but there was no serious threat to any of them, he said.

Amr Kayed, a student from Birzeit University, said they forced the EU diplomats to leave to send a message that “anyone complicit in genocide and the offensive on Gaza” was not welcome.

Owcza downplayed the incident in a post on X, stating, “Peaceful protest [and] dialogue always has its place. We regret that today’s meeting of EU Heads of Missions at the National Museum in Birzeit was unduly interrupted by protesters.”

Biden stokes outrage for making sign of the cross at pro-abortion rally: 'Truly sacrilegious'

By Jon Brown, Christian Post Reporter Wednesday, April 24, 2024

President Joe Biden drew criticism and accusations of sacrilege for making the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion speech at his campaign rally in Florida on Tuesday.

Biden, the second Catholic president in United States history, made the gesture common among Roman Catholics while listening to a speech from Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried at his campaign event in Tampa.

This. Is. VILE!

President Biden makes the Sign of the Cross at an abortion rally in Florida!

You cannot be Catholic and support abortion!

You cannot invoke GOD and promote Death! pic.twitter.com/aG4P542EM0 

— CatholicVote (@CatholicVote) April 23, 2024

During the rally that focused heavily on abortion, Biden blamed Trump for the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and accused him of creating "a healthcare crisis for women all over this country."

During her remarks, Fried hit at Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, suggesting he only decided to support the state's six-week abortion ban because he was running for president. Florida's six-week abortion ban is slated to go into effect on May 1.

"And then we come back here to the state of Florida, where Ron DeSantis felt like he needed to run for president, and so 15 weeks wasn't good enough — we had to go to six weeks," Fried said as Biden made the sign of the cross. It's unclear what specifically in her remarks prompted him to do so.

A clip of the moment went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, after being tweeted out by CatholicVote.org, a nonprofit pro-life political advocacy group based in Indiana.

"This. Is. VILE! President Biden makes the Sign of the Cross at an abortion rally in Florida! You cannot be Catholic and support abortion! You cannot invoke GOD and promote Death!" the group wrote.

The organization also tweeted Galatians 6:7: "Make no mistake: God is not mocked."

CatholicVote.org President Brian Burch criticized Biden's action as "despicable" and accused the president of trying to "co-opt a sacred practice in support of his new abortion religion."

"Biden's decision to make the Sign of the Cross in support of abortion extremism is a despicable charade that attempts to co-opt a sacred practice in support of his new abortion religion," Burch said in a statement. "His gesture openly mocks the Christian belief in the sanctity of life."

"There is no divine support for destroying the lives of innocent children, and he should know better. Biden's gesture suggests he is either terribly naive, or senile, or callously indifferent to the foundational beliefs of millions of Christians in America," Burch added.

Bishop Joseph Strickland, who was recently removed as bishop of Tyler, Texas, amid tensions with the Vatican, echoed Burch.

"Absolutely vile, pray for the soul of our president, he is a feeble old man, he needs to prepare to meet his maker," Strickland tweeted.

Absolutely vile, pray for the soul of our president, he is a feeble old man, he needs to prepare to meet his maker… https://t.co/hOqvJZ3Oa8

Other users on X also flooded the footage from CatholicVote.org with negative responses, including many who noted they found it offensive despite not being Catholics.

"Is abortion now a left-wing sacrament?" asked the national grassroots pro-life organization Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, which described Biden's campaign stops as an "abortion fearmongering tour."

"The fact that Biden gets away with this is a failure of many members of the church hierarchy," pro-life Catholic activist organization American Life League wrote.

"Demonic: Joe Biden makes the sign of the cross at a pro-abortion rally," wrote William Wolfe, who serves as executive director of the Center for Baptist Leadership. "When I say evil spiritual forces are at play in his administration, I mean it."

"This is truly sacrilegious," wrote Marc Thiessen, a Catholic former White House speechwriter and columnist for The Washington Post. "Our 'Catholic' president making the sign of the cross at an abortion rally."

"How disgusting," wrote conservative political commentator Mercedes Schlapp. "Biden is an advocate for this culture of death that contradicts the Catholic pro life teachings."

40 Days for Life, a pro-life campaign that works to end abortion through prayer and fast, community outreach and peaceful vigils at abortion clinics, wrote that Biden's sign of the cross at an abortion rally is a "stark reminder of the disconnect between his actions and Catholic teachings on the sanctity of life."

The backlash is the latest example of some Catholics questioning the sincerity of Biden's professed faith in light of his support for practices that openly defy the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Several weeks ago, Archbishop of Washington Wilton Cardinal Gregory criticized Biden as a "cafeteria Catholic" who "picks and chooses" which elements of Catholicism he wants to follow.

"I would say that he's very sincere about his faith. But like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts," Gregory said during a March 31 appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation."

"There is a phrase that we have used in the past, a 'cafeteria Catholic,' you choose that which is attractive and dismiss that which is challenging," he added.

Biden also prompted outrage from many Christians earlier this month for declaring Easter Sunday as "Transgender Day of Visibility."

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to downplay the backlash, claiming the Transgender Day of Visibility commemoration on Easter Sunday was coincidental because the observance falls on March 31 every year. She also accused Republicans who got upset about it of exhibiting cruelty and trafficking misinformation.

REPORT: Canadian Town To Require QR Code To Leave?

By Danielle | Apr 27, 2024

Circulating reports indicate a remote Canadian town will require a QR code to enter or leave.

Unsurprisingly, the reports have sparked severe criticism.

The controversy stems from Îles-de-la-Madeleine, an archipelago in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The municipality, consisting of 12 islands, is home to approximately 12,000 residents.

A proposed $30 tourist fee caused an uproar.

“The municipal council of Îles-de-la-Madeleine wishes to adopt a new measure for its citizens, namely that of mandatory identification to leave their municipality,” TVA Nouvelles wrote (translated).

“Canada now has a town that forces you to scan a QR code to enter and leave, and then charges you a $30 tax,” journalist Keean Bexte commented.

“Îles-de-la-Madeleine in the Gulf of St. Lawrence has become the first municipality in Canada to officially require a QR code to enter and leave,” The Counter Signal noted.

“Madeleine Island getting QR codes in order to leave and if you don’t get your QR code, you will be fined,” one woman claimed in a viral video.

“That’s the very first QR code prison here in Canada. And it is going to sweep the nation faster than you can think if people don’t stand up and take a stand against these QR codes,” she continued.

“It’s not happening in your town yet but it most certainly will be,” she added.

WATCH:

Officials reportedly said the QR code requirement to leave the archipelago Îles-de-la-Madeleine will only apply to tourists.

Residents must show their driver’s license to enter or leave, The Counter Signal noted.

“QR Codes coming to a remote Canadian island in the heart of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Île de la Madeleine! This is real, not a conspiracy theory. Time to stand united, rally behind our fellow Canadians. Let’s strategize how to halt this trend and send a clear message: Canadians will not embrace QR codes or a social credit system,” Purdy Talks wrote, sharing what appears to be footage from a municipal council meeting.

“This video explains that visitors to the island won’t require a code to enter; however, tourists must show a QR code for departure. Residents, on the other hand, only need to present their driver’s license with an island address,” the post continued.

“The exit check is implemented to confirm the absence of any municipal infractions, which officials claim is to support the island’s infrastructure. There are discussions among officials asserting that this process is akin to presenting identification for air or sea travel. However, a woman argues that those are services we opt to use, distinct from leaving our homes. They engage in a back-and-forth; the official labels her statement as an opinion, but she counters it’s a fact. The official dismisses her and essentially shuts her down, treating her as if she were a child,” the post added.

YouTube backup:

The Counter Signal reports:

“1st city in Canada to require a QR code and a tourist tax of $30 to leave Îles-de-la-Madeleine, an island in Quebec. But hey, it’s all for your wealth & safety! And agenda 2030 & 15 min cities are conspiracy theories,” podcaster and journalist Efrat Fenigson commented.

Per Radio-Canada:

The outlet offered this definition of the fee:

Between May 1 and October 14, visitors to the Magdalen Islands will have to pay a fee of $30 plus taxes, payable via a secure payment platform. This fee will be used to finance the management of residual materials, the maintenance of recreational tourism infrastructure and the establishment and operation of a regional park on public lands.

US retailers confirm another 169 store closures in just one week - among them Urban Outfitters, Walmart and a premium grocery chain

In the week ending April 26, retailers announced they would close 169 stores

They included Express, Outfox Hospitality, Urban Outfitters and Walmart

READ MORE: Retailers shut 5,500 stores last year across a range of sectors

By Neirin Gray Desai Consumer Reporter For Dailymail.Com

Published: 07:13 EDT, 1 May 2024 | Updated: 09:21 EDT, 1 May 2024

US retailers confirmed another 169 closures last week - bringing the total so far this year up to almost 2,600.

Stores that announced the shuttering of locations included Express, Outfox Hospitality, Shop 'n Save, Urban Outfitters and Walmart.

Physical stores in shopping malls, strip malls, downtown centers and on main street in towns have been under threat from online retail and changing tastes.

'Year to date, in 2024, major US retailers have announced 7.4 percent fewer openings and 12.3 percent more closures compared to the same time last year,' read a report by Coresight Research on closures announced over the week ending April 26. The full list is below.

The total of 2,587 closures in the first 17 weeks of the year is almost 300 more than at the same time last year, but a thousand less than the number of openings.

Walmart plans to close one Neighborhood Market store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on May 17.

Walmart Neighborhood Markets are smaller versions of its traditional Walmart stores but have been largely unsuccessful and the retailer closed multiple last year.

'Usually big-box retailers when they try to go small with city stores, it doesn't usually work,' Alexander Milovic, professor of marketing at Marquette University, told local station TMJ4. 'A grocery store like that runs on smaller profit margins.'

Discount grocery retailer Shop 'n Save also announced it would close one store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on May 13, according to the report.

Last week, café and deli market chains Foxtrot and Dom's Kitchen & Market - both operated by Outfox Hospitality - abruptly closed all of their stores in multiple states.

The closures affected 33 Foxtrots and two Dom's Grocery Stores in Chicago, Austin and the Washington DC area.

'We explored many avenues to continue the business but found no viable option despite good faith and exhaustive efforts,' the company said in a notice on its website.

Founded in 2014, Foxtrot Market started as an upmarket neighborhood grocery store. The stores feature a coffee shop and seating for guests, which turned into a wine bar at night. The retailer also tried to juggle retail sales.

Last week, fashion retailer Express filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and said it intended to close more than 100 stores.

The retailer, whose portfolio of brands also includes Bonobos and UpWest, listed assets and liabilities in the range of $1 billion to $10 billion, according to a filing with the bankruptcy court in Delaware.

As part of the bankruptcy process, the company said it would close approximately 95 Express retail stores and all of its 12 UpWest stores.

Launched in 1980, Express was once a destination for well-priced office attire but has been battling with soft consumer demand due to slowing spending and increased price sensitivity.

UpWest, the company's lifestyle spinoff brand, was launched in 2019 and sold casual clothes and sleepwear for men and women.

Clothing retailer Urban Outfitters was reported by Coresight to have scheduled the closure of an additional 7 stores.

Local outlet Brooklyn Paper reported this month that Urban Outfitters closed its store in the trendy area of Williamsburg in Brooklyn.

Here are the top American cities Joe Biden is sending hundreds of thousands of paroled migrants - so is YOUR home town on the list?

The policy allows in limited numbers of vetted migrants from four nations

DHS revealed that it sent over 200,000 in through the program

Around 80 percent of the migrants were sent to four cities in the state of Florida

By Stephen M. Lepore For Dailymail.Com

Published: 01:47 EDT, 1 May 2024 | Updated: 09:25 EDT, 1 May 2024

The Department of Homeland Security revealed that it sent over 200,000 migrants on a controversial parole program to 45 cities across the United States between January and August 2023.

The policy, which was enacted in October 2022, allowed migrants who had not entered the country illegally to fly directly into America.

Migrants were also required to have a sponsor in the US and pass various vetting tests.

It was initially announced for Venezuelans, before adding Haitians, Nicaraguans and Cubans amid one of the worst migrant crises in American history under President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Around 80 percent of the migrants were sent to four cities in the state of Florida: Miami - which got 91,821, more than any other city - Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa Bay were among the top 15 destinations, according to the DHS.  etc

Under fire Secretary Mayorkas says the program led to a reduction in people from those nations illegally crossing the border.

'It is a key element of our efforts to address the unprecedented level of migration throughout our hemisphere, and other countries around the world see it as a model to tackle the challenge of increased irregular migration that they too are experiencing,' Mayorkas said.

New York City, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco were also in the top 10 of destinations.

Another 1.6million migrants are waiting to get into the country via this same program, DHS claims.

Multiple states, including Florida, have attempted to sue to stop the program but have thus far been unsuccessful.

'Biden's parole program is unlawful, and constitutes an abuse of constitutional authority. Florida is currently suing Biden to shut it down, and we believe that we will prevail,' said Governor Ron DeSantis' press secretary, Jeremy Redfern.

Since Biden took office, the U.S. has seen record-high numbers of illegal border crossings.

Customs and Border Protection has apprehended more than 7.6 million migrants illegally crossing the southern border – the majority of which are traveling from Central and South American countries in efforts to claim asylum in the U.S.

Under fire Secretary Mayorkas says the problem led to reductions in people from those nations illegally crossing the border

The crisis at the border has been a scandal for the Biden administration throughout his presidency, with former President and 2024 opponent Donald Trump promising to fix the problem.

Trump is ready to reshape American policy and detailed in interviews with TIME Magazine what some of these sweeping overhauls would include.

In a wide-ranging interview at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida on April 12, the former president confirmed he would use detention camps to house illegal immigrants during deportation efforts.

He also didn't rule out deploying the military to round up the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the country. As of January 2022, the illegal immigrant population in the U.S. was estimated to stand at 11.35 million.

Trump has repeatedly said he would take aggressive actions to address the border issue on Day One of a second term after President Joe Biden reversed almost all of his policies and plunged the country into an all-out illegal immigration crisis.

His proposals would include tapping local law enforcement, National Guard and, if necessary, members of the U.S. Military to round up illegal immigrants for deportation.

TIME National Politics Reporter Eric Cortellessa asked Trump if he would override the Posse Comitatus Act, which states the U.S. military cannot be deployed against civilians.

'Well, these aren't civilians,' the former president replied. 'These are people that aren't legally in our country. This is an invasion of our country. An invasion like probably no country has ever seen before.'

'They're coming in by the millions. I believe we have 15 million now. And I think you'll have 20 million by the time this ends,' Trump predicted. 'And that's bigger than almost every state.'

He also said it isn't likely he would have to house these immigrants in detention camps because he plans to deport them swiftly – but he didn't rule out building more holding centers if needed during the operation.

'No, I would not rule out anything,' Trump said. 'But there wouldn't be that much of a need for them [detention camps], because of the fact that we're going to be moving them out. We're going to bring them back from where they came.'

Top 10 cities where migrants were flown via DHS program

1. Miami - 91,821

2. Fort Lauderdale - 60,461

3. New York - 14,827

4. Houston - 7,923

5. Orlando - 6,043

6. Los Angeles - 3,271

Poland Officially Requests U.S. NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Hal Turner World April 30, 2024 Hits: 11304

Poland has handed an official request to Washington to have U.S. nuclear weapons hosted in Poland.

No word yet on any need or desire in the US to put such weapons there.

Russia earlier cautioned Poland that nuclear weapons in their country would **not** make Poland any safer. In fact, they said, it would merely make Poland a target for Russian nuclear weapons.

Hal Turner Snap Analysis

Nuclear weapons “hosted” in Poland; Sounds like an exchange student or something innocent , like its a cultural program.

My bet . . . and this is pure conjecture on my part -- Poland didn't actually "request" anything.

They were just told that the US is going to deploy nukes on their territory.

The nukes will be controlled by US of course, not Poland; Poland would have no interest in this affair whatsoever. . . except when they get blown up by Russia for having them so close to Russia.

INSANE New Tax Proposal – Stealing from Citizens Legally

April 30, 2024

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Success is a punishable offense in Biden’s America. Joe Biden and his administration would like to implement a 44.6% tax on capital gains, the highest tax on capital gains in the nation’s history. Washington says this tax is necessary to address the looming national debt, but they are simultaneously implementing measures to ensure that the nation falls deeper into debt. Perpetually issuing new debt to pay for the old is equivalent to a Ponzi scheme that WILL FAIL.

Donald Trump’s implemented tax deductions are set to expire in 2025, which is precisely when these measures could go into effect. The proposals essentially rob those who have achieved success to pay those who leech off of the government.

TAXES TEXT

Read the full proposal here.

The proposal is over 250 pages in length but looks to target all investments. The MSM will report that they are only going after the wealthiest Americans but the truth of the matter is that they will seek to squeeze everything they can out of every American, unless they fully rely on government assistance and are therefore owned by Washington.

“A new 25- percent minimum income tax would be imposed on extremely wealthy taxpayers. For high-income taxpayers, gaps in the law that allow some pass-through business owners to avoid Medicare taxes would be eliminated, and Medicare tax rates would be increased. Additional loopholes, including the carried interest preference and the like-kind exchange real estate preference, would be eliminated for those with the highest incomes. Together these reforms would sharply curtail tax preferences that allow the wealthy to pay lower tax rates on their investment income and exacerbate income and wealth disparities, including by gender, geography, race, and ethnicity.”

We are equal in rights, not talent. This proposal clearly states that successful individuals must be punished financially. Will the government curtail its own spending or address the utter deterioration of fiscal policy that has hurt all Americans? No. There are no mirrors in Washington.

KarlMarxTaxesTaxation

C corporations, under this proposal, would be subjected to a 28% tax rate – a 7% increase. The corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) would rise to 21% compared to the current 15%. How on Earth does this support American business? Does he truly believe this will aid in job growth, as we have primarily only seen the public sector grow?

Think crypto is safe? Think again because this proposal wants to permit the government to determine which assets are considered actively traded.

“The proposal would add a third category of assets that may be marked-to-market at the election of a dealer or trader in those assets. Assets in the third category would be actively traded digital assets and derivatives on, or hedges of, those digital assets, under rules similar to those that apply 230 General Explanations of the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2025 Revenue Proposals to actively traded commodities. The Secretary would have authority to determine which digital assets are treated as actively traded. The determination of whether a digital asset is actively traded would take into account relevant facts and circumstances, which may include whether the asset is regularly bought and sold for U.S. dollars or other fiat currencies, the volume of trading of the asset on exchanges that have reliable valuations, and the availability of reliable price quotations.”

Socialism v Capitalism

Forget offshore digital investments because Washington wants a cut of that too:

“Tax compliance and enforcement with respect to digital assets is a rapidly growing problem. Since the industry is entirely digital, taxpayers can transact with offshore digital asset exchanges and wallet providers without leaving the United States. The global nature of the digital asset market offers opportunities for U.S. taxpayers to conceal assets and taxable income by using offshore digital asset exchanges and wallet providers. U.S. taxpayers also attempt to avoid U.S. tax reporting by creating entities through which they can act. Requiring individuals specifically 228 General Explanations of the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2025 Revenue Proposals to report their offshore holdings of accounts with digital assets, subject to significant penalties if they fail to do so, is critical to combat the potential for digital assets to be used for tax avoidance.”

This proposal is LOADED with extreme restrictions and penalties for investors, both domestic and foreign.

They want to reform how companies pay dividends. They want to reform international taxation and reporting. The statute of limitation for financial penalties would be expanded, including the payouts the government lavishly handed out during COVID.

Washington Post Socialism

The proposal would increase the top marginal tax rate to 39.6% for married individuals filing a joint return and surviving spouses. Single filers earning $400,000 for unmarried individuals will face the highest tax penalties, as will those earning $425,000 for head of household filers, and $225,000 for married individuals filing a separate return. In comparison, the  So the cost of living is rapidly rising, inflation has nocurrent top marginal rate for married filers is currently on those earning over $731,2000 and single filers earning over $609,500. change of relenting during this time of ongoing wars, but the government wants to tax those earning less more?

So, if one sells their small business, they will need to give the government about half of what they worked their entire lives to achieve. If an American’s house rose in value and they attempt to sell the estate—too bad, Uncle Sam needs half. This is a MIDDLE-CLASS TAX. The ultra-wealthy already have ways to bypass these measures. The ultra-wealthy may begin leaving America in general if they continue to demonize capitalism.

The people did not create the deficit we face today. The government continually spends with no plans to curtail spending. They have created a massive Ponzi scheme whereby they issue new debt every year to roll over the debt from the previous year. Eventually, there will be no buyers, and that is precisely how nations fail.

Beware of the troubles of the world, there is war going on right now, are you even aware of that, most are not, they walk as if peace is going on and yet the enemy is rising up in many areas, deceiving many and leading many astray.  And they’re preparing for war without brains, for they have nobody to lead them anymore, so be in prayer, be in prayer.

While The US Military Focuses On Recruiting Homosexuals, Transgenders & Indoctrinating The Masses Into 'Woke,' The 'War To End All Wars' Will Leave Most Americans Dead

- Most Americans Today Have No Idea What Horrors Await Them

By Rob Pue of Wisconsin Christian News and All News Pipeline April 30, 2024

It seems like a lot of people just can’t hardly wait for war. From mainstream news media to even the best of alternative news sources, commentators and pundits, everyone seems to be salivating at the idea of World War Three.

I find it interesting to note that during World War 1, we didn’t call it “World War 1,” because we didn’t recognize it as the first of many. It was first called the “European War.” Then American newspapers called it “World War.” And the British called it the “Great War.” Soldiers fighting and families left at home had no idea they were fighting “World War 1.” Then, it was FDR who first used the term “World War 2” in 1941. But soldiers fighting and those at home didn’t realize they were fighting “World War 2” until Roosevelt named it that. But today, people seem so eager for World War 3. Even regular, everyday citizens seemed giddy at the idea of World War 3. It’s on everyone’s minds and it seems virtually inevitable.

As we look at current world events, it does appear that a war to engulf the globe has already been set in motion. Like wars we’ve seen in the past, alliances are being formed. The BRICS nations, consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates have been in allegiance since 2009. Also at that table, you could add North Korea, Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Afghanistan.

Western countries, which were formerly allies, are significantly less organized and unfortunately, they’re all facing great internal turmoil, economic depression, massive immigration problems with people from enemy countries being welcomed in and catered to — for some reason — by their own governments. There’s no doubt that what one might call the “Axis of Evil” nations today are much better prepared and propped up by self-proclaimed Globalist New World Order “elites” than are countries like the United States, Britain, France, and even Germany.

Western nations are literally being invaded by citizens from the “Axis of Evil” — and the western nations are welcoming the invasions, supporting the invaders and weakening all their defenses — from military to public infrastructure, seemingly on purpose. This isn’t a “conspiracy theory.” It’s a conspiracy FACT.

Here in the US, the city of Minneapolis now plays the Islamic “call to prayer” over city loud speakers five times a day. The same happens in Michigan. Muslims who support the call of “Death to America” now serve in local, state and national governmental positions of power. Chinese nationals own much of the land in our nation and hold most of our debt. We rely on China for most everything we buy and use, including pharmaceutical drugs and food supplies.

(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)

On our college campuses, students have been brainwashed to prefer socialism over capitalism and are rallying against Israel and their own United States. And while the “Axis of Evil” nations are training their military for war, here in the US, our military focuses on recruiting homosexuals and “transgenders” and invests tax dollars on transgender “transitioning” drugs and surgeries, using the proper pronouns, re- educating those who don’t agree with these agendas and training recruits to submit to an increasingly “woke” mindset.

For years, we’ve heard about Chinese military training in Mexico and Central America. In just the past couple of years, we’ve learned the Chinese military is also training in Canada, just a stone’s throw away from our US borders. We’ve seen video footage of Chinese container ships converted to ballistic missile launchers and loaded with ammunition, just off our western seacoast. Not to mention the millions of military-age single men, all from hostile nations, crossing our borders — some even stating openly that they’re here on a military mission.

We’ve also seen the self-proclaimed “elites” — the New World Order Globalists — spending enormous amounts to construct underground bunkers for themselves, here in the US and around the world. They’re stockpiling food and supplies for themselves, and they’ve been doing that for at least the last year or so. Obviously, they believe something big is on the horizon and they’re preparing.

Meanwhile, when the average American patriot suggests that we should all be “prepping” for coming disaster, we’re labeled, once again, as “conspiracy theorists,” “right-wing wackos,” and worse, by the mainstream media, on social media and by the ignorant general public.

The last presidential election here in this country deepened the tremendous amount of division among our citizenry. Any thinking person can easily examine and analyze what took place and come to the obvious conclusion that the election was blatantly stolen, regardless of what George Soros’-funded legislators, district attorneys and attorneys general will pronounce publicly. And so, there are many ignorant souls out there today who really believe the last election was completely legitimate — despite overwhelming evidence that we’re now a banana republic ruled by tyrants bent on the destruction of our nation.

That being said, there’s no doubt that this year’s election will be the most significant ever in American history. And along with that, will come more division, more hatred, more rioting, burning and devastation from the Left. But this time, American Patriots will likely rise up as well, rather than continuing to bow to the one-sided “rule of law.” Patriots aren’t going to let what happened last time happen again. They won’t stand for it. They won’t allow it.

So this year — leading up to November, but especially afterwards — is going to be one of chaos and war within our borders, among our own people. When the foreign enemies who’ve now been settled in and well-funded and supplied by the Regime in power get involved, it’s not going to be good. America is at its weakest point in history right now. It’s only going to grow weaker once the fighting begins within our borders.

When that happens, we’ll be ripe for the picking of those foreign enemies in and outside our borders, who are, even right now as I speak, training for a specific operation...World War 3.

I’d urge you to not be so quick to wish World War 3 upon us, because it’s not going to be anything like you can imagine now. If you’re thinking of a “Red Dawn” scenario, where a few bands of patriotic vigilantes can camp out in the woods and win our freedom back with a few shotguns, you’re just plain clueless.

When it happens, Patriots are going to be up against the most sophisticated weaponry in the world. I’m not just talking about night vision goggles here. I’m talking drone technology, the likes of which you and I have no idea. I’m talking about infrared heat cameras that can locate and pinpoint human beings hiding anywhere, and weapons that can eliminate them, fired by enemy combatants on the other side of the world.

Imagine losing your electricity — rolling blackouts are already going on in parts of our country and will only grow worse as the regime continues to press it’s “net zero” agenda under the false narrative of “climate change.” No power. No water. No food in the stores. No communications. No phones. No internet. Cars will not operate — electric or otherwise. Local police and sheriff departments will be no match for hordes of foreign enemies marching on our land with operational, tactical vehicles. Even our military will be no match for these enemies.

And the enemies are already here, embedded in cities and towns, large and small, all across the United States. Thousands more are being welcomed in daily, even as they’re encouraged to “vote for Biden” when they get here, so the border can remain open.

During World War 2, our nation came together, united as one. Our people at home sacrificed, rationed things, bought war bonds, scrimped and saved everything to support our faithful soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. Today, our nation is so divided — and deliberately divided — there will be no national unity. Amid the World War, we’ll also be fighting one another in a new “Civil War.” And a house divided against itself cannot stand.

I’m sorry to say, friends, we’ve already lost this battle. By being so passive, by allowing things like the stolen election of four years ago to stand; by allowing the rioting and devastation of groups like Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA to happen with no pushback — our police officers ordered to “stand down” and “let them burn it all down;” even by standing by and doing nothing as the statues and monuments of our American history and heritage were removed from public, and by allowing political dissidents of the Regime to be persecuted and jailed while most of us did nothing, we’ve invited the coming tragedy upon ourselves. It’s our own fault.

We should be, right now, weeping and mourning and repenting in sackcloth and ashes, begging God’s forgiveness for our personal sins and our national sins. Such a thing would begin in the churches across this land, but alas, the churches have also been overtaken by the socialism and communism of the Social Justice movement. Pastors, who have so much power available to them — if only they had an ounce of courage to use it — have refused to stand against the evil and therefore, their followers have refused to stand for anything. Most Americans today have no idea what the Word of God says. No idea Who Jesus Christ is, and certainly no idea the horrors that await them when their comfort, luxury and ease are suddenly removed and they’re faced with starvation, famine and the loss of every single thing they’ve put their trust and security in, in this world.

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” There’s no political solution to all this. Don’t count on Donald Trump to save you — or our country. There’s one Savior, and that is the Lord, Jesus Christ. Judgment begins first in the house of the Lord, and I dare say it will be the Christians who are eliminated first as our enemies overtake us — from within and from without. Because most today are “Christians” in name only. Their “fire insurance faith” will not spare them from what’s about to happen. Instead, after horrific and violent deaths, most will stand before the Lord only to hear the words, “Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity. I never knew you.”

Could it be that I’m dead wrong on all these things? Well, I can tell you I’m 100% right on much of what I’ve stated here. I’ve told you about Global conspiracy FACTS, not theories. Of course, there’s much we don’t know yet...and won’t know until it plays out. But is there a chance God might spare this nation and heal our land? Yes, but it would require God’s professing people to take 2 Chronicles 7:14 seriously and put out an urgent, clarion call all across this country. It would take an enormous, concerted effort on the part of pastors and churches and the people in the pews, humbling themselves before Almighty God, while there’s still time. Sadly, I won’t hold my breath on that... Americans are too consumed with comfort and ease. Too self-absorbed to take the Word of God seriously. They’re busy planning their next vacation, busy with their sports and entertainment. They have no time for God. Certainly, no intention to humble themselves, pray, seek God’s face and turn from their wicked and selfish ways.

The soldiers in World War 1 didn’t know they were fighting “World War 1” when it was happening. Those in World War 2 didn’t know it was World War 2 when it began. There will be no doubt when World War 3 goes hot. It truly will be the “War to end all wars.” Friends, those of you who will, be in prayer for this nation. Be in prayer for those you love. I believe God will protect and provide for those who are truly His, but none of us will escape persecution. I urge you to draw close to God today, and bring as many souls with you as you can. Our time is growing short, and we have but one Savior.

At least 5 people, including infant, dead after night of tornadoes, storms in the Midwest

Nocturnal tornadoes tore through Oklahoma, where the governor signed an executive order Sunday declaring a disaster emergency. There were reports of injuries and at least five deaths.

April 27, 2024, 5:05 PM UTC / Updated April 29, 2024, 12:34 AM UTC

By Minyvonne Burke, Kathryn Prociv, Christine Rapp, Dennis Romero, Yuliya Talmazan and Rebecca Cohen

Dawn broke over scenes of devastation in several counties across Oklahoma on Sunday, with reports of severe structural damage, closed highways, blackouts, injuries and at least five deaths. There have been 35 reports of tornadoes overnight so far.

Twenty-seven million people remained at risk of severe weather into Sunday, including wind gusts, hail, flood risk and potentially more tornadoes.

Saturday's severe weather came less than 36 hours after more than 100 tornadoes leveled homes and buildings in six states Friday, with Nebraska and Iowa being hit hardest, officials said.

The National Weather Service office in Norman, Oklahoma, confirmed late Saturday that multiple tornadoes were in its area, including one near Davenport and more than one in the area of Sulphur, a small town of about 5,000 people 80 miles south of Oklahoma City, which appeared to have taken the biggest hit.

On Sunday, the weather service's Norman office said that, based on preliminary damage survey results, tornadoes with ratings of at least EF3 tore through Sulphur and Marietta in Oklahoma. The service said more investigation would be necessary to determine whether the rating will go higher.

The Murray County Emergency Management reported “significant damage” in Sulphur. In Love County, patients had to shelter during storms that damaged Marietta Hospital, though no injuries were reported, the county emergency management office said.

Also in Marietta, four semitrucks overturned, killing one person, after a tornado ripped through Interstate 35 on Saturday night, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.

Oklahoma’s Office of Emergency Management confirmed three deaths, one near Marietta on I-35 and two others in Holdenville. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt arrived Sunday afternoon in Sulphur, where he said a fourth person died in the downtown area.

One of the Holdenville victims was 4 months old, Stitt's press secretary said, citing Holdenville officials.

More than 170 storms were reported Saturday after days of severe weather. Storms were still expected through southern Missouri to southeast Texas on Sunday.

Flash flooding is also a concern for 18 million people from Kansas City to Lake Charles, Louisiana. Some flood warnings will continue into Monday.Video emerging on social media early Sunday showed heavy damage across Sulphur, including toppled trees and scattered bricks and wooden beams. Buildings in the downtown area sustained significant structural damage, including blown-out windows and missing walls. Others appeared to have been leveled and reduced to rubble.

The Oklahoma Health Department reported 100 injuries at area hospitals, according to the state Emergency Management Department. Of the injured, 25 were cut or had been pierced, 30 fell, 16 were hit by or struck against objects, 17 sustained transportation-related injuries, and 12 others were hurt by other means, the emergency services department said. The extent of each of the injuries was unclear.

Red Cross Oklahoma said early Sunday that it was opening a shelter in Sulphur and was in contact with officials in more than a dozen counties to help with the immediate needs of affected residents.

Stitt signed an executive order Sunday declaring a disaster emergency.

In neighboring Hughes County, officials reported four people injured, as well as several structures either damaged or destroyed, after a tornado ripped through its western part late Saturday.

On Sunday, Hughes County Emergency Management reported 14 homes were damaged or destroyed in Holdenville. In addition, officials said four properties were damaged in Okfuskee County, and Pottawatomie County Emergency Management reported seven damaged structures in Dale and unincorporated areas of Shawnee.

There were also "numerous injuries" and damaged structures in Wagoner County, officials said.

Homes and other structures were also damaged in communities in Garfield, Grant, Kay, Payne and several other counties in Oklahoma, officials said.

The National Weather Service in Norman said that as of 1:25 a.m. local time Sunday, some tornado warnings had passed but that flash flooding remained a threat.

Bruce Thoren, meteorologist for the agency's Norman branch, said teams will go out to the Marietta and Sulphur areas while others may be sent elsewhere through the week.

"We are aware of other places that received damage, but based on travel time and other factors they will be looked at in days to come, probably not today," Thoren said. "The area that we cover is pretty large compared to other forecast offices, so to travel down and back could be up to four hours. So we’ll for sure get there, and we know there’s damage — just trying to figure out where we go today."Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. said early Sunday about 28,000 customers were without service as a result of the storms, primarily in southern Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma Transportation Department warned early Sunday that I-35 was closed in both directions in Love County because of storm damage cleanup.

More than 30 million people in Oklahoma City; Dallas; Wichita, Kansas; Omaha, Nebraska; Milwaukee; and Madison, Wisconsin, were in the path of severe weather Saturday.

This round of severe weather arrived even as parts of Nebraska and Iowa were still reeling from the damage caused by two tornadoes that struck the region.

Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert said Saturday that no deaths had been reported and that there were relatively few minor injuries.

Despite heavy damage to some residents' homes, including those belonging to three Omaha firefighters and two police commanders, officials Saturday were grateful it wasn't worse. Speaking at an afternoon news conference, Stothert said she planned to sign an emergency declaration, which would allow residents to tap state and federal recovery aid.

She credited the National Weather Service and local news media for warning the public about the tornadoes.

"I do want to thank our local forecasters for the clear and accurate warnings that they gave," she said. "I absolutely feel that this early warning, because of all of you, you prevented a lot of injury and probably death."

Lindsay Huse, health director for Douglas County, where Omaha is located, said by email that fewer than two dozen people suffered minor injuries. They were treated at medical facilities and have been released, she said.

"That's just miraculous," Huse said earlier at the news conference.

The National Weather Service assessed two tornadoes that struck the Omaha area Friday afternoon. One started in the area of Lincoln and ended up in western Douglas County, NWS meteorologist Chris Franks said at the news conference. It was preliminarily assessed at a "solid" EF3 on the 0-5 scale used by federal forecasters, he said. An EF3 tornado can produce sustained winds of 136-165 mph and shift homes off their foundations while peeling away exterior walls.

At Omaha Eppley Airfield, a tornado preliminarily assessed at EF2 struck Friday afternoon, Franks said. An EF2 tornado can produce sustained winds of 111-135 mph that can partly peel away rooftops and breach window glass.

Tornado activity was also reported in neighboring Iowa. Franks estimated that 80 tornadoes were reported in Douglas County and adjacent communities in Nebraska and Iowa on Friday.

In Lancaster County, Nebraska, a tornado was blamed for a train derailment and a semitruck rollover, according to National Weather Service notes on Friday's vortexes.

Omaha Police Lt. Neal Bonacci said hundreds of homes were damaged, most of them in the Elkhorn area in the western part of the city.

“You definitely see the path of the tornado,” Bonacci said.

Police and firefighters went door to door to help residents and search areas where people could be trapped, Omaha Fire Chief Kathy Bossman said.

"We’ll be looking throughout properties in debris piles, we’ll be looking in basements, trying to find any victims and make sure everybody is rescued who needs assistance," Bossman said.

Pat Woods, who lives in Elkhorn, told The Associated Press that he and his wife took shelter but could hear the tornado "coming through."

"When we came up, our fence was gone, and we looked to the northwest and the whole neighborhood’s gone," he said.

His wife, Kim Woods, said the neighborhood to the north of them was "pretty flattened."

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds declared a disaster emergency for Pottawattamie County after video on social media showed parts of Minden, about 30 miles northeast of Omaha, completely flattened. Jeff Theulen, the chief deputy of the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office, said at a news conference Friday evening that 40 or 50 homes were "completely destroyed." There have been two reports of injuries, one "fairly severe but not life-threatening," he told reporters.

By Sunday, officials estimated that the storms had damaged 300 homes and businesses in the county, Pottawattamie County said in a release. In the city of Minden, 48 homes were "completely destroyed."

Pottawattamie County added in the release that four people sustained storm-related injuries. Three were treated and released Friday evening. The fourth, who was previously listed as stable in critical condition, died overnight Saturday.

"It's very dangerous right now. We've shut off entrance to the city except for the people that live here," he said, noting that "50% of the town is damaged badly and then there’s light damage everywhere else."

In nearby Shelby County, about 40 homes were damaged, county emergency coordinator Alex Londo said. Officials were assessing the destruction, he said, noting there have been no reports of deaths.

National Weather Service offices surveyed damage ahead of more severe weather expected Saturday.

The service reported 106 tornadoes Friday in Nebraska, Iowa, Texas, Kansas and Missouri. Another tornado was reported Friday morning in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. Oklahoma was also affected by the unstable air and thunderstorms that marched eastward Friday, but the weather service listed no confirmed tornadoes in the state.

Among Friday's tornadoes getting a preliminary assessment by the weather service were two near Waco, Texas — one believed to be at EF2 strength — and the other assessed at EF1 (86-110 mph).

Report: How Iran quickly covered up damage from Israeli retaliatory strike

Satellite photos reveal how Iran quickly swapped out an aerial defense radar that was destroyed with a different one.

Israel National News

Apr to the aerial defense system at the Natanz nuclear complex south of Tehran 25, 2024, 8:12 AM (GMT+3)

New satellite images reveal how Iran covered up the extent of the damage caused by Israel's retaliatory strike last week.

The Economist, citing imagery analyst Chris Biggers, reported that Israel appeared to have directly struck a 30n6e2 “Tombstone” radar, designed to track incoming air and missile threats, allowing interceptor missiles to take them out.

The rest of the aerial defense battery had been moved away, presumably in case Israel were to strike again.

Images shared by Biggers with The Economist show that by the day after the attack, Iran had swapped out the Tombstone radar for a different 96l6e “Cheeseboard” radar, placing it on the same spot. It also kept the launcher canisters, which fire interceptors, in an upright position, as though ready to fire.

Biggers summed up his findings: “It’s a case of denial and deception, to suggest the site is still operational.” The report notes that the site is almost certainly not operational, being that the two radars are not interchangeable and the aerial defense system will not work with a damaged Tombstone.

Earlier this week, new satellite images were released showing the damage caused to the Iranian military base in Isfahan by the alleged Israeli retaliatory strike.

The satellite images show what the Isfahan base looked like before and after the alleged Israeli strike.

Microsoft Launches Scary AI Technology That Can Create Deepfakes With Just A Single Photo And Audio Clip

by Jacob M. Thompson  ago 22 hours

5 Comments

Tech giant Microsoft recently launched a new artificial intelligence program called “VASA-1,” bragging that the software can “Lifelike Audio-Driven Talking Faces Generated in Real Time.”

The program can be produce hyper-realistic AI-generated animations with just a single photo reference and an audio clip, prompting fears that Microsoft has unwittingly released a deepfaking program upon the broad masses.

According to blog post on Microsoft’s website, the company says:

“We introduce VASA, a framework for generating lifelike talking faces of virtual characters with appealing visual affective skills (VAS), given a single static image and a speech audio clip. Our premiere model, VASA-1, is capable of not only producing lip movements that are exquisitely synchronized with the audio, but also capturing a large spectrum of facial nuances and natural head motions that contribute to the perception of authenticity and liveliness,” Microsoft promotes.

“The core innovations include a holistic facial dynamics and head movement generation model that works in a face latent space, and the development of such an expressive and disentangled face latent space using videos. Through extensive experiments including evaluation on a set of new metrics, we show that our method significantly outperforms previous methods along various dimensions comprehensively.

“Our method not only delivers high video quality with realistic facial and head dynamics but also supports the online generation of 512×512 videos at up to 40 FPS with negligible starting latency. It paves the way for real-time engagements with lifelike avatars that emulate human conversational behaviors,” they explain.

Our method is capable of not only producing precious lip-audio synchronization, but also generating a large spectrum of expressive facial nuances and natural head motions. It can handle arbitrary-length audio and stably output seamless talking face videos.

Microsoft added

The tech giant then provides a myriad of examples and applications as to what can be created, also showing that it effectively works with sketches and art pieces, for example.

In their research paper when discussing their findings, the researchers claim that this innovation in AI “paves the way for real-time engagements with lifelike avatars that emulate human conversational behaviors.”

Additionally, VASA-1 was trained by several scientists from the University of Oxford, on a dataset called VoxCeleb2. That dataset contains “over 1 million utterances for 6,112 celebrities,” taken from videos uploaded to YouTube, according to to the website.

Microsoft, however, swears that this technology is not intended to give people the ability to create deepfakes. SEE: Deep Fakes: How Movie Magic Is Now Our News

Microsoft writes:

It is not intended to create content that is used to mislead or deceive. However, like other related content generation techniques, it could still potentially be misused for impersonating humans. We are opposed to any behavior to create misleading or harmful contents of real persons, and are interested in applying our technique for advancing forgery detection. Currently, the videos generated by this method still contain identifiable artifacts, and the numerical analysis shows that there’s still a gap to achieve the authenticity of real videos.

While acknowledging the possibility of misuse, it’s imperative to recognize the substantial positive potential of our technique. The benefits – such as enhancing educational equity, improving accessibility for individuals with communication challenges, offering companionship or therapeutic support to those in need, among many others – underscore the importance of our research and other related explorations. We are dedicated to developing AI responsibly, with the goal of advancing human well-being.

Given such context, we have no plans to release an online demo, API, product, additional implementation details, or any related offerings until we are certain that the technology will be used responsibly and in accordance with proper regulations.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

Proverbs 14:25

The lies and deceit continue to keep waxing worse (2 Timothy 3:13). This is so obviously going to be used for deepfaking. Yeah, sure, there’s imperfections but most people are not going to notice it, especially if slanderously material goes viral on social media.

Be extra vigilant and be very careful with everything you see and hear. It seems like everything these days is a lie; and I have no doubt that this will be weaponized against innocents and Bible believers in disinformation campaigns at some point. SEE: Mind Control: Study Claims That Deepfakes Will Start Manipulating Our Brains To Remember False Memories

By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;

2 Corinthians 6:8

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Divide and Conquer: The Government’s Propaganda of Fear and Fake News

April 23, 2024

Guest Post by John W. Whitehead

“It is the function of mass agitation to exploit all the grievances, hopes, aspirations, prejudices, fears, and ideals of all the special groups that make up our society, social, religious, economic, racial, political. Stir them up. Set one against the other. Divide and conquer. That’s the way to soften up a democracy.”― J. Edgar Hoover, Masters of Deceit

“Nothing is real,” observed John Lennon, and that’s especially true of politics.

Much like the fabricated universe in Peter Weir’s 1998 film The Truman Show, in which a man’s life is the basis for an elaborately staged television show aimed at selling products and procuring ratings, the political scene in the United States has devolved over the years into a carefully calibrated exercise in how to manipulate, polarize, propagandize and control a population.

Take the media circus that is the Donald Trump hush money trial, which panders to the public’s voracious appetite for titillating, soap opera drama, keeping the citizenry distracted, diverted and divided.

This is the magic of the reality TV programming that passes for politics today.

Everything becomes entertainment fodder.

As long as we are distracted, entertained, occasionally outraged, always polarized but largely uninvolved and content to remain in the viewer’s seat, we’ll never manage to present a unified front against tyranny (or government corruption and ineptitude) in any form.

Studies suggest that the more reality TV people watch—and I would posit that it’s all reality TV, entertainment news included—the more difficult it becomes to distinguish between what is real and what is carefully crafted farce.

“We the people” are watching a lot of TV.

On average, Americans spend five hours a day watching television. By the time we reach age 65, we’re watching more than 50 hours of television a week, and that number increases as we get older. And reality TV programming consistently captures the largest percentage of TV watchers every season by an almost 2-1 ratio.

This doesn’t bode well for a citizenry able to sift through masterfully-produced propaganda in order to think critically about the issues of the day.

Yet look behind the spectacles, the reality TV theatrics, the sleight-of-hand distractions and diversions, and the stomach-churning, nail-biting drama that is politics today, and you will find there is a method to the madness.

We have become guinea pigs in a ruthlessly calculated, carefully orchestrated, chillingly cold-blooded experiment in how to control a population and advance a political agenda without much opposition from the citizenry.

This is how you persuade a populace to voluntarily march in lockstep with a police state and police themselves (and each other): by ratcheting up the fear-factor, meted out one carefully calibrated crisis at a time, and teaching them to distrust any who diverge from the norm through elaborate propaganda campaigns.

Unsurprisingly, one of the biggest propagandists today is the U.S. government.

Add the government’s inclination to monitor online activity and police so-called “disinformation,” and you have the makings of a restructuring of reality straight out of Orwell’s 1984, where the Ministry of Truth polices speech and ensures that facts conform to whatever version of reality the government propagandists embrace.

This “policing of the mind” is exactly the danger author Jim Keith warned about when he predicted that “information and communication sources are gradually being linked together into a single computerized network, providing an opportunity for unheralded control of what will be broadcast, what will be said, and ultimately what will be thought.”

You may not hear much about the government’s role in producing, planting and peddling propaganda-driven fake news—often with the help of the corporate news media—because the powers-that-be don’t want us skeptical of the government’s message or its corporate accomplices in the mainstream media.

However, when you have social media giants colluding with the government in order to censor so-called disinformation, all the while the mainstream news media, which is supposed to act as a bulwark against government propaganda, has instead become the mouthpiece of the world’s largest corporation (the U.S. government), the Deep State has grown dangerously out-of-control.

This has been in the works for a long time.

Veteran journalist Carl Bernstein, in his expansive 1977 Rolling Stone piece “The CIA and the Media,” reported on Operation Mockingbird, a CIA campaign started in the 1950s to plant intelligence reports among reporters at more than 25 major newspapers and wire agencies, who would then regurgitate them for a public oblivious to the fact that they were being fed government propaganda.

In some instances, as Bernstein showed, members of the media also served as extensions of the surveillance state, with reporters actually carrying out assignments for the CIA. Executives with CBS, the New York Times and Time magazine also worked closely with the CIA to vet the news.

If it was happening then, you can bet it’s still happening today, only this collusion has been reclassified, renamed and hidden behind layers of government secrecy, obfuscation and spin.

In its article, “How the American government is trying to control what you think,” the Washington Post points out “Government agencies historically have made a habit of crossing the blurry line between informing the public and propagandizing.”

This is mind-control in its most sinister form.

The end goal of these mind-control campaigns—packaged in the guise of the greater good—is to see how far the American people will allow the government to go in re-shaping the country in the image of a totalitarian police state.

The government’s fear-mongering is a key element in its mind-control programming.

It’s a simple enough formula. National crises, global pandemics, reported terrorist attacks, and sporadic shootings leave us in a constant state of fear. The emotional panic that accompanies fear actually shuts down the prefrontal cortex or the rational thinking part of our brains. In other words, when we are consumed by fear, we stop thinking.

A populace that stops thinking for themselves is a populace that is easily led, easily manipulated and easily controlled whether through propaganda, brainwashing, mind control, or just plain fear-mongering.

Fear not only increases the power of government, but it also divides the people into factions, persuades them to see each other as the enemy and keeps them screaming at each other so that they drown out all other sounds. In this way, they will never reach consensus about anything and will be too distracted to notice the police state closing in on them until the final crushing curtain falls.

This Machiavellian scheme has so ensnared the nation that few Americans even realize they are being brainwashed—manipulated—into adopting an “us” against “them” mindset. All the while, those in power—bought and paid for by lobbyists and corporations—move their costly agendas forward.

This unseen mechanism of society that manipulates us through fear into compliance is what American theorist Edward L. Bernays referred to as “an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”

It was almost 100 years ago when Bernays wrote his seminal work Propaganda:

“We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of… In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

To this invisible government of rulers who operate behind the scenes—the architects of the Deep State—we are mere puppets on a string, to be brainwashed, manipulated and controlled.

All of the distracting, disheartening, disorienting news you are bombarded with daily is being driven by propaganda churned out by one corporate machine (the corporate-controlled government) and fed to the American people by way of yet another corporate machine (the corporate-controlled media).

“For the first time in human history, there is a concerted strategy to manipulate global perception. And the mass media are operating as its compliant assistants, failing both to resist it and to expose it,” writes investigative journalist Nick Davies.

So where does that leave us?

Americans should beware of letting others—whether they be television news hosts, political commentators or media corporations—do their thinking for them.

A populace that cannot think for themselves is a populace with its backs to the walls: mute in the face of elected officials who refuse to represent us, helpless in the face of police brutality, powerless in the face of militarized tactics and technology that treat us like enemy combatants on a battlefield, and naked in the face of government surveillance that sees and hears all.

As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, it’s time to change the channel, tune out the reality TV show, and push back against the real menace of the police state.

If not, if we continue to sit back and lose ourselves in political programming, we will remain a captive audience to a farce that grows more absurd by the minute.

PRIORITY # ONE: DEPOPULATE INDIA – Biden Admin Eyes Sending U.S. Tax Dollars To Train Army Of Transgender Activists In India

Biden Admin Eyes Sending U.S. Tax Dollars To Train Army Of Transgender Activists In India

The Biden administration wants to train at least 200 activists to advocate for transgender rights in India as part of a program ostensibly designed to advance America’s “national interests,” according to a federal grant posting.

President Joe Biden’s State Department plans to “train at least 200 LGBTQI+ community leaders … with preference given to trans and intersex community leaders” by “deliver[ing] specialized legal education and support” which will, in turn, empower “them to advocate for their rights and access the services they need,” according to a grant announcement published on April 8.

The department is offering the grant under its Public Diplomacy Programs, which exist to “support the achievement of U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives, advance national interests, and enhance national security.”

The grant opportunity argues that “improved health, education, economic strength, justice and equality” for transgender people in India will ultimately benefit the United States.

The proposed program, titled “Empowering LGBTQI+ Community Leadership Across India,” focuses on transgender and intersex Indians because, according to the State Department, they face both “more severe discrimination and social stigma compared to other groups within the LGBTQI+ spectrum” as well as “unique challenges” when it comes to “accessing education, healthcare, employment and legal recourse against discrimination.”

To accomplish its goals, the program will utilize a “train the trainer” approach, using the 200 people it trains directly to reach a further 2,000 activists within one year. The State Department hopes to set off a “ripple effect” across India through this strategy.

The major Indian cities of Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and New Delhi are all targets under the State Department’s program.

The department is offering between $120,000 and $150,000 for a third party to run the program, which it says will start on August 20.

Funding LGBT initiatives abroad, ostensibly to promote America’s interests, has been a defining factor of the State Department under Biden. Under the Biden administration, the State Department has bankrolled “queer” Muslim writers in India, funded theatrical productions to teach Africans about LBGT rights, backed a ballroom dancing program to “uplift” Peruvian transgender youth and paid a university to churn out “LGBTQI+ allies.”

The State Department did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

I am convinced that Lyin’ Biden is FILLED with demons. I cannot find the words to describe his evilness.

Everything the Lyin’ LEFT does has a goal to depopulate the earth. I really do think that they have their eyes on”Under 500 million” as was etched on the Georgia Guide Stones before that Satanic monument was mysteriously destroyed.

HOW CAN I BE SAVED

These Traitorous Scoundrels In Congress Waving Ukrainian Flags & Giving Them Billions Of Dollars Of US Taxpayer Money For More War While Americans Go Homeless Have Got To Go

April 23, 2024 By James Howard Kunstler and All News Pipeline

“This is the weirdest era in human history. By far. Nothing else even comes close. Billionaires trying to kill everyone. Civil society unable to form a coherent thought. Institutions lie in smoldering ruins. Poisons handed out like candy. We are Neanderthals with iPhones.” — Dr. Toby Rogers

Did it warm your heart to see all those blue and yellow Ukrainian flags (in the photo above) waved by our elected officials in Congress Saturday night with the passage of the $60-plus-billion aid bill to the Palookaville of Europe? You realize, don’t you, that the tiny fraction of that hypothetical “money” — from our country’s empty treasury — that ever reaches Ukraine will rebound on the instant into Mr. Zelensky’s Cayman Islands bank account. The rest of the dough enters the recursive shell-game between US weapons-makers and the very hometown folks in Congress waving those blue and yellow flags, who will receive great greasy gobs of fresh “campaign donations” from the grateful bomb and missile producers. No wonder they’re cheering.

What the $60-plus-billion won’t do is provide any fresh arms and equipment to Ukraine’s sad-sack army soon enough to prevent Russia from bringing this cruel, stupid, and unnecessary war, which we started, to a close. Yes, we started it, not Russia, in 2014 with our Intel blob overthrowing elected President Viktor Yanukovych in the so-called “Maidan Revolution of Dignity” (that's what Wikipedia calls it). And for what reason? To jam Ukraine into NATO as a prelude to “weakening” Russia sufficient to bust it up and gain control over Russian oil, ores, and grain.

Yes, that was actually the neocon’s game, equal parts megalomania and hubris, a fiasco as strategically ill-fated as Hitler’s push to gain control of Russia’s oil fields via Stalingrad in 1942-3. With failure and humiliation looming in Ukraine, the blob’s objective for now, in theory, is the vain hope of prolonging the hostilities just long enough to get its hologram president, “Joe Biden” re-elected, so that said blob can continue its amoebic digestion of what’s left uneaten by it in our sore-beset republic. You’ve got to wonder, of course, what this blob thinks will remain to rule over when it’s done gobbling up everything and jailing everyone from sea to shining sea who objects.

(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, we are only days away from going out of business and being homeless. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated. We will no longer be online or have a home without some hefty donations in the next few days)

You tell me what conceivable way Ukraine can prevail in this proxy war now without just tripping off the civilization-ending nuke exchange? America does not have enough tactical missiles and artillery shells at hand to send over there. What we did have is gone. NATO never had much to begin with. Ukraine has run out of available cannon-fodder to conscript from its dwindling population. Despite Mr. Macron’s recent bluster, NATO can’t raise a credible army, or even agree on which country would send what. Nobody is riding to the rescue. Instead, Russia is fortifying its home-grown armaments industry and its military while systematically turning off the electricity all over Ukraine by blowing up the power stations. Very soon, Ukraine will be reduced to medieval living conditions — no lights, no phones, no Internet, no shopping, no ability to conduct modern warfare. End. . . of. . . story.

This is apt to play out much faster than America’s blob-controlled news media will be able to lie about. I’d guess it can be functionally over before mid-summer. The result will be yet another humiliation on the “Joe Biden” scorecard. When it’s over, you can be sure the Russians will abstain from an end-zone dance so as not to provoke America’s genius-losers into some final petty grand act of requital. Russia will just soberly declare what is self-evident: that for centuries Ukraine has been in its sphere-of-influence, as Mexico is in ours, and that they have reestablished the natural order of things in that corner of the world.

After that, America and the rest of Western Civ can get on with the collapse of their financial system and very likely a period of profound political and economic chaos in which governments fall, nations change boundaries and shapes, and their populations suffer dramatically from an imploded standard of living. That process may actually play out somewhat slower than the end of the Ukraine war over the coming years. It will look like a combined game of musical chairs and hot potato, with the opportunities to get a seat steadily fading, and the losers left holding things they can’t handle.

In the meantime, our country — remember it, the USA, when it had its once-enviable mojo working? — is busy being insane and finding sixty ways to Sunday to commit suicide. How do you suppose the Democratic Party will actually pretend to put up “Joe Biden” for re-election when the Ukraine failure is completed? Answer: they can’t. This dumbshow of the old gaffer hiding at his beach house and avoiding direct engagement with reality is also drawing to a close. Instead of calling “a lid” on “JB’s” activities, some humid morning in the swamp his handlers will call in “a medical alert” instead, and that will be the last we see of that dreadful apparition.

It’s also looking more and more as though the Republican Party faces its own civil war, especially after Speaker Mike Johnson’s perplexing flipperooski on the Ukraine aid vote. You recall, just weeks ago he said no dice to such a deal without a stop to the invasion coming across our Mexican border. Then, the intel blob boys lured him into a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) where they showed him . . . something. . . ! Everyone’s dying to know what. A secret signed agreement making Ukraine our 51st State? Photographs of Mike engaged in unwholesome recreations with Gawd knows who or what? Or did they just have a little talk with him about how stuff is supposed to work? Whatever it was has made Mike Johnson untenable in his position. And he has explained nothing. He’s got to go.

At the other end of all that stands — or, rather, sits at a defense table — Donald Trump, the seemingly inevitable leader of a party seeking to cough him up like a hairball stuck in its craw. And yet, every week that passes, the various lawfare traps set up to snare him look more amateurish and gauche — while the Golden Golem of Greatness somehow manages to power through all that adversity. A big faction of the party he leads is in on that nefarious game. The wild card is the increasingly inflamed mood of the American people, in whose name the game is supposedly being played. With absolutely everyone lying to them about everything, it’s turned into some kind of bad faith olympics.

George Soros is paying student radicals who are fueling nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests

By Social Links for Isabel Vincent

Published April 26, 2024, 6:00 a.m. ET

George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.

The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.

Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.

The SJP parent organization has been funded by a network of nonprofits ultimately funded by, among others, Soros, the billionaire left-wing investor.

At three colleges, the protests are being encouraged by paid radicals who are “fellows” of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR).

USCPR provides up to $7,800 for its community-based fellows and between $2,880 and $3,660 for its campus-based “fellows” in return for spending eight hours a week organizing “campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.”

They are trained to “rise up, to revolution.”

The radical group received at least $300,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2017 and also took in $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019.

It has three “fellows” who have been major figures in the nationwide protest movement.

Nidaa Lafi, a former president of the University of Texas Students for Justice in Palestine, was seen at an encampment at UT Dallas Wednesday making a speech demanding an end to the war in Gaza.

Lafi, a former legislative intern for the late Democratic Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, graduated from the school last year with a degree in global business and is now a law student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

In January, she was detained for blocking the route of President Biden’s motorcade after he arrived in Dallas for the funeral of Johnson, her former boss.

At Yale, USCPR’s fellow Craig Birckhead-Morton was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree trespassing when SJP’s branch, Yalies4Palestine, occupied the school’s Beinecke Plaza, the Yale Daily News reported.

Birckhead-Morton — also a former intern for a Democrat, Maryland rep John Sarbanes — emerged from custody to address a sit-in blocking traffic in New Haven.

The most high-profile of the fellows is Berkeley’s Malak Afaneh, co-president of the Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine.

She has been a serial speaker at an anti-Israel protest on the campus this week — which came after she first shot to prominence by hijacking a dinner at the law school dean’s home to shout anti-Israel slogans, then accused the dean’s wife of assaulting her when she asked the radical to leave.

The cash from Soros and his acolytes has been critical to the Columbia protests that set off the national copycat demonstrations.

Three groups set up the tent city on Columbia’s lawn last Wednesday: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Within Our Lifetime.

At the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” students sleep in tents apparently ordered from Amazon and enjoy delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin’, free sandwiches worth $12.50 from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips and $10 rotisserie chickens.

An analysis by The Post shows that all three got cash from groups linked to Soros. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund also gave cash to JVP.

The fund is chaired by David Rockefeller Jr., a fourth-generation member of the oil dynasty, and gives money to “sustainable development” and “peace-building.”

And a former Wall Street banker, Felice Gelman, a retired investment banker who has dedicated her Wall Street fortune to pro-Palestinian causes, funded all three groups.

Both SJP and JVP were expelled from Columbia University in November for “threatening rhetoric and intimidation.” JVP blamed Israel for the Oct 7 Hamas terrorist attack that left 1,200 Israelis dead.

“Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence,” JVP said in a statement on its website.

SJP called the terrorist strike on Israel “a historic win.”

An analysis by The Post shows how Soros and Gelman’s cash made its way to the students through a network of nonprofits that help obscure their contributions.

Soros has given billions to the Open Society Foundations which his son Alexander — whose partner is Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s top aide and the estranged wife of pervert Anthony Weiner — now controls.

In turn, Open Society has given more than $20 million to the Tides Foundation, a progressive nonprofit “fiscal sponsor” that then sends the cash to smaller groups.

Those groups include A Jewish Voice for Peace, which between 2017 and 2022 has received $650,000 from Soros’ Open Society. Its advisers include the academic Noam Chomsky and the left-wing feminist author Naomi Klein.

JVP has been a prominent part of the protests at Columbia and one of its student members was among a group expelled from the university for inviting the leader of a proscribed terrorist group, Khaled, to the “Resistance 101” Zoom meeting.

Soros has also donated $132,000 to WESPAC, called in full the Westchester People’s Action Coalition Foundation.

The White Plains-based nonprofit was founded in 1974 to rally for civil rights and against the Vietnam War but is now a major funder of anti-Israel groups, including Within Our Lifetime and Students for Justice in Palestine.

SJP has also received funding from the Sparkplug Foundation, a New York-based nonprofit run by Gelman and her husband, Yoram Gelman.

The couple funneled their $20,000 donation to the group through WESPAC in 2022, according to public filings.

Gelman was previously on WESPAC’s committee for Justice and Peace in the Middle East in 2009 when she was invited to Gaza by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, according to the group’s website.

The UN group has been slammed for its support of Hamas.

Gelman is on the board of the Bard Lifetime Learning Institute, an offshoot of the infamously progressive college, as well as the Jenin Freedom Theatre, located in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.

WESPAC president Howard Horowitz, a former Orthodox Jew, is a member of the New York chapter of JVP, which says it works for “advocacy and public education for Palestinian human rights.”

Horowitz said he embraced the Palestinian cause after time spent living in Israel, according to a report in the Israel Times.

WESPAC has also given money to Within Our Lifetime, founded by the ubiquitous anti-Israeli protester Nerdeen Kiswani.

Within our Lifetime uses a loophole in the law to avoid declaring how much it receives from donors by not being a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, meaning it is unknown how Kiswani has benefited.

However, WESPAC is named as a fiscal sponsor of Within Our Lifetime.

None of the groups responded to requests by The Post for comment.

Outrage as drag queen leads young kids in ‘free Palestine’ chant: ‘Wrong on every level’

By Social Links for Emily Crane

Published April 25, 2024, 8:20 a.m. ET

Video of a drag queen in Massachusetts leading a group of young kids to chant “Free Palestine” has sparked fierce backlash — with some calling it “indoctrination” that is “wrong on every level.”

The encounter, which unfolded at a “Queer Storytime for Palestine” event organized by the Valley Families for Palestine group in Amherst last week, had gone viral by Thursday as outrage mounted.

“Today what we’re going to do is shout ‘Free Palestine.’ Can I hear that?” the drag queen, known as “Lil Miss Hot Mess,” was filmed telling the children in the 30-second clip.

“If you’re a drag queen and you know it, and you really want to show it, if you’re a drag queen and you know it, shout ‘Free Palestine.'”

The kids could be heard mimicking the drag queen by repeatedly chanting “Free Palestine.”

Furious critics were quick to point out the hypocrisy of a drag queen touting the phrase given the harsh treatment of LGBTQ people in Gaza.

“The harsh reality? Members of the LGBTQ+ community are often murdered in Gaza and other Palestinian areas such as Ramallah,” Stop Antisemitism tweeted alongside the recording.

“Often times members of the LGBTQ+ community seek refuge in Israel as their lives are endangered and their families excommunicate them. Were these children taught these points?”

“An indoctrination double whammy: ‘Free Palestine’ meets ‘drag queen story hour,'” Eitan Fischberger, a former Israel Defense Forces sergeant, tweeted.

“If people can’t see that drag queens teaching kids to chant ‘Free Palestine’ is wrong on every level, then they seriously are part of the problem,” British TV host and politician Nigel Farage raged in a post on X.

Meanwhile, Jake Wallis Simons, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle, quipped: “Seriously. Yahya Sinwar, Putin, Xi and the Ayatollah are laughing so hard (and sharpening their knives).”

“Drag Queen Story Hour somehow just got worse,” the Citizen Free Press declared.

The organizers of the event had earlier shared a slew of photos on its Instagram account of the young children and their parents watching on smiling as the drag queen performed for them.

The group also boasted of the “important lessons” the kids learned during the story time event.

“We came together today in joy and solidarity and learned some important lessons about being ourselves, using our voices to speak out against injustice, and being fabulous while we do it,” a caption on the post read.

Valley Families for Palestine and the drag queen didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment about the backlash.

This Is Why Everyone Needs To Prepare For The Day When Devastating Cyberattacks Take U.S. Power Grids Down

April 24, 2024 by Michael

What would you do if the power grid where you live went down and there was no electricity for an extended period of time? You might want to think about that, because experts are warning that it is just a matter of time before cyberattacks successfully cripple our power grids. In fact, foreign hackers are working hard to infiltrate critical infrastructure as you read this article. As you will see below, we are extremely vulnerable, and the Russians and the Chinese have both developed highly advanced cyberwarfare capabilities. When the U.S. ends up fighting a war with Russia or China (or both simultaneously), devastating cyberattacks on our power grids will be conducted. When your community is suddenly plunged into darkness, what is your plan?

The United States and Canada are not covered by a single power grid.

Rather, there are multiple grids that collectively provide the electricity that all of us need. The following explanation comes from Wikipedia…

The electrical power grid that powers Northern America is not a single grid, but is instead divided into multiple wide area synchronous grids.[1] The Eastern Interconnection and the Western Interconnection are the largest. Three other regions include the Texas Interconnection, the Quebec Interconnection, and the Alaska Interconnection. Each region delivers power at a nominal 60 Hz frequency. The regions are not usually directly connected or synchronized to each other, but there exist some HVDC interconnectors. The Eastern and Western grids are connected via seven links that allow 1.32 GW to flow between them. A study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that increasing these interconnections would save energy costs.[2]

Bloomberg is reporting that “US power grids are facing heightened risks of cyber and physical attacks as the election nears”, and one expert is warning that there is “a 100 percent chance” that critical infrastructure will eventually be breached at some point…

“I think there’s a 100 percent chance that organizations in the critical infrastructure space at some point will experience some short of breach,” said Stephanie Benoit Kurtz, lead cybersecurity faculty at the College of Business and Information Technology at the University of Phoenix. “No longer are the days when organizations can say, ‘We’ll never be breached.’ It’s not if, it’s when.”

Sadly, I believe that she is quite correct.

We should have never exposed our power grids to the Internet, and now we are incredibly vulnerable.

During a recent congressional hearing, FBI Director Christopher Wray publicly admitted that Chinese hackers have been targeting our power grids…

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday that China’s hackers are targeting American critical infrastructure, including water treatment plants, pipelines and the power grid, to be able to “wreak havoc” in the U.S. if Beijing ever decides to do so.

Testifying before the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Wray also warned that there has been too little public attention on the threat that he says China’s efforts pose to national security.

“China’s hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities, if and when China decides the time has come to strike,” Wray told lawmakers.

This is a very real threat.

The moment that China invades Taiwan, the U.S. and China will be at war.

And the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has warned that ““if Beijing feared that a major conflict with the United States were imminent, it almost certainly would consider undertaking aggressive cyber operations against U.S. homeland critical infrastructure and military assets worldwide.”

Most Americans don’t realize that the groundwork for such cyber operations is already being laid. For example, last August Chinese hackers specifically targeted the Texas power grid…

The report says that, in August, hackers attempted to access the computer systems used by the Public Utility Commission of Texas, or the PUC, and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, which operate the state’s power grid. Most of Texas is on its own power grid, separate from the grids used by most of the country.

If you think that our systems are secure, you are just being delusional.

The truth is that we are extremely vulnerable, and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation admits that the number of weak spots is growing with each passing day…

U.S. power grids are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, with the number of susceptible points in electrical networks increasing by about 60 per day, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) said in a webcast on Thursday.

The grids’ virtual and physical weak spots, or points in software or hardware that are susceptible to cyber criminals, grew to a range of 23,000 to 24,000 last year from 21,000 to 22,000 by the end of 2022, executives with the energy regulator said.

“It’s very hard to keep pace with addressing all those vulnerabilities,” said Manny Cancel, senior vice president of NERC.

But foreign entities wouldn’t even need to gain access through a weak spot if there are already back doors in place.

According to one analysis, “about 90 percent of software used to manage the U.S. power grid is linked to Russian and Chinese developers”…

Orlando based Fortress Information Security explained that any “kid” with internet can contribute their “block” that then can be developed into software used in America’s critical infrastructure. A “block”, one of these code components, can risk the whole structure– our energy grid.

“A Chinese agent or a Russian agent can install backdoors into one of these components. And then unbeknownst to a software manufacturer, you grab this component, which has been tampered with and poisoned by Russian or Chinese actor and now they put that component into their software, and it ends up in our electrical grid or, or an oil rig,” said Alex Santos, CEO of Fortress Information Security.

The company analyzed nearly 8,000 of these open-source components. 13 percent had contributions from Russia and China. Fortress found about 90 percent of software used to manage the U.S. power grid is linked to Russian and Chinese developers—something that can make it three times as likely to contain critical vulnerabilities.

How in the world did we allow that to happen?

Are we really that incompetent?

I was floored when I first read that.

I had no idea that we were so vulnerable.

Of course it isn’t just our power infrastructure that is being targeted. According to Politico, Europe has been “inundated” with cyberattacks since Russia invaded Ukraine…

Thousands of cyberattacks have inundated Europe’s energy grid since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and a top industry leader is calling for help as officials and researchers fret that not nearly enough is being done.

“The crooks are becoming better by the day, so we need to become better by the day,” Leonhard Birnbaum, the chief executive of E.ON, one of Europe’s largest utilities, said in an interview. “I’m worried now and I will be even more worried in the future.”

We have never seen this sort of warfare before.

So most people greatly underestimate the threat.

But someday the power in your area could suddenly go out without any warning whatsoever.

Temporary interruptions are not a problem, but if the power is out for an extended period of time our entire way of life will start rapidly shutting down…

When power stops, life grinds to a halt. Lights go out. Sewage treatment stops. Clean water stops. Electric cars, buses and trolleys stop. Elevators stop, trapping older and disabled people. For many, home heating, refrigeration, cooking and clothes washing stops, along with medical devices such as oxygen generators.

For many years, I have been warning my readers that conflict with Russia and conflict with China would be coming.

Now both of them are actively hacking into power infrastructure in the United States and Europe.

I hope you have a plan, because it is just a matter of time before cyberattacks start causing widespread chaos all over the globe.

Beware of the troubles of the world, there is war going on right now, are you even aware of that, most are not, they walk as if peace is going on and yet the enemy is rising up in many areas, deceiving many and leading many astray.  And they’re preparing for war without brains, for they have nobody to lead them anymore, so be in prayer, be in prayer.

US Secretly Armed Ukraine With Long-Range ATACMS Last Month

by Tyler Durden

Thursday, Apr 25, 2024 - 12:25 PM

Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,

The US confirmed on Wednesday that it had secretly sent Ukraine long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) last month as part of a $300 million arms package.

The long-range ATACMS can be fired from the HIMARS rocket systems and can hit targets up to 190 miles away, a range that marks a significant escalation in US support for Ukraine.

Last year, the US secretly shipped an older cluster bomb variant of the ATACMS that has a range of about 100 miles. Previously the Pentagon signaled it was intentionally limiting ranges of missiles shipped to Ukraine.

A Biden administration official said Ukraine has already used the longer-range ATACMS twice, including in an attack on a Russian base in Crimea. US-supported attacks on Crimea or the Russian mainland always risk a major escalation from Moscow.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said a "significant number" of the ATACMS have been sent to Ukraine but wouldn’t specify how many.

He said more were on the way as part of a $1 billion arms package that President Biden approved on Wednesday, although the Pentagon didn’t list ATACMS when it announced the weapons shipment.

The $95 billion foreign military aid bill President Biden signed into law on Wednesday included a provision that said Ukraine would be sent long-range ATACMS.

In response to that news, the Kremlin reaffirmed its long-stated position that it will take more territory in Ukraine to counteract the long-range NATO missiles.

North Korea says it tested ‘super-large’ cruise missile warhead and new anti-aircraft missile

Korean Central News Agency released photos showing at least two missiles being fired off launcher trucks on a runway. The missiles in the image were not identified. State media said North Korea’s missile administration on Friday conducted a ‘power test’ for the warhead designed for the Hwasal-1 Ra-3 strategic cruise missile and a test-launch of the Pyoljji-1-2 anti-aircraft missile.

By KIM TONG-HYUNG

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Saturday it tested a “super-large” cruise missile warhead and a new anti-aircraft missile in a western coastal area as it expands military capabilities in the face of deepening tensions with the United States and South Korea.

North Korean state media said the country’s missile administration on Friday conducted a “power test” for the warhead designed for the Hwasal-1 Ra-3 strategic cruise missile and a test-launch of the Pyoljji-1-2 anti-aircraft missile. It said the tests attained an unspecified “certain goal.”

Photos released by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency showed at least two missiles being fired off launcher trucks at a runway.

North Korea conducted a similar set of tests Feb. 2, but at the time did not specify the names of the cruise missile or the anti-aircraft missile, indicating it was possibly seeing technological progress after testing the same system over weeks.

KCNA insisted Friday’s tests were part of the North’s regular military development activities and had nothing to do with the “surrounding situation.”

Tensions on the Korean Peninsula are at their highest in years, with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un dialing up his weapons demonstrations, which have included more powerful missiles aimed at the U.S. mainland and U.S. targets in the Pacific. The United States, South Korea and Japan have responded by expanding their combined military training and sharpening their deterrence strategies built around strategic U.S. assets.

Cruise missiles are among a growing collection of North Korean weapons designed to overwhelm regional missile defenses. They supplement the North’s vast lineup of ballistic missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles aimed at the continental United States.

Analysts say anti-aircraft missile technology is an area where North Korea could benefit from its deepening military cooperation with Russia, as the two countries align in the face of their separate, intensifying confrontations with the U.S. The United States and South Korea have accused North Korea of providing artillery shells and other equipment to Russia to help extend its warfighting in Ukraine.

Defiant Putin goes to war in Ukraine with a warning for U.S., NATO

“No one should have any doubts that a direct attack on our country will lead to defeat and dire consequences for any potential aggressor,” the Russian leader said.

Feb. 24, 2022, 4:55 PM UTC

By Alexander Smith

When war came to Europe on Thursday, it was delivered with terrifying force and a blunt warning.

After months of military buildup, thinly veiled threats and frenzied speculation, the scale of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plans was finally made clear.

In a pre-dawn address on Russian television, Putin announced that he was attacking Ukraine, a sovereign democracy on his doorstep. The barrage started minutes later — a moment the United States and its have allies have predicted for weeks, but which nonetheless reverberated throughout the international order.

Putin's speech contained a chilling warning to any countries thinking of leaping to Ukraine's defense in the face of a Russian invasion: Intervene and you will face the full force of the Kremlin's nuclear arsenal.

"I decided to conduct a special military operation," Putin said, wearing a suit and a red tie and sitting behind his now-familiar desk, flanked by two Russian flags and a cluster of retro-looking telephones.

Russia "is today one of the most powerful nuclear powers in the world," he added, as if Washington, London and Paris needed reminding of his world-largest arsenal. "No one should have any doubts that a direct attack on our country will lead to defeat and dire consequences for any potential aggressor."

UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT

The message was received unambiguously.

“The Kremlin’s aim is to re-establish its sphere of influence, rip up the global rules that have kept us all safe for decades and subvert the values that we hold dear,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday. “Peace on our continent has been shattered.”

Russia’s invasion is likely to cause mass casualties, a humanitarian crisis and economic chaos, and it is sure to draw severe sanctions against Moscow. But while the fog of missile strikes hung over Eastern Europe on Thursday, it was clear the continent was waking to a different threat from Moscow.

In his 20-plus years of rule, Putin has annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, carved off regions of neighboring Georgia, helped turn the tide in Syria's civil war and interfered in elections across the globe.

The Russian leader has often used proxy forces abroad, and denied any election interference. But many Kremlin-watchers see the Ukraine invasion as a departure even from his bellicose standards.

One unforeseen consequence of the pandemic, tweeted Lawrence Freedman, emeritus professor of war studies at Kings College London, was that Putin would become "a paranoid autocrat in isolation nurturing his fantasies of war."

As recently as a week ago, a convincing case could be made that the Russian leader was bluffing with his military buildup.

Putin was issuing bold demands to the West about security guarantees while massing troops on his neighbor's borders, but unlike previous conflicts Russia's Kremlin-controlled state media was not selling its audience on the idea that war was imminent. That switch was flipped last week.

Then on Monday, Putin stopped short of declaring war but laid out the case for one, delivering a revisionist history that painted Ukraine as an illegitimate country that belonged within Moscow's realm.

As he launched his attack Thursday, Putin turned his attention to the West.

Washington, he said, has sought to dominate the world since the end of the Cold War: pressuring allies to hew to its cultural norms; using this hegemonic dominance to launch illegal wars; and encircling Russia by expanding NATO into former Soviet republics in Eastern Europe.

The Western "war machine is moving," he warned, "and, I repeat, is coming close to our borders."

NATO, the U.S. and indeed the former Soviet republics themselves would all point out that these countries overwhelmingly voted for independence in 1991 as the Soviet Union collapsed, then voluntarily joined alliances like the European Union and NATO.

What Putin actually wants to stop, many analysts in the West believe, is not NATO, but rather the liberal democracy on his doorstep that contrasts with his own repressive state.

Ukraine "had this simple idea that they wanted to have free and fair elections and not have people in Moscow telling them what to do," Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, said on MSNBC Thursday. And now Putin "wants them to pay the price."

The Kremlin's brazen actions should also be a clarifying moment for European powers that they are now firmly in a new era of security, said Fabrice Pothier, NATO’s former head of policy planning, in comments made before the Russian attack.

More so than the U.S. and U.K., France and Germany have treated Putin as a man who can be reasoned with diplomatically, Pothier said. But if nothing else the Ukraine crisis should have made this complex picture far simpler.

“Our security," he said, "depends on the mood of an autocrat."

US reveals it quietly sent Ukraine missile systems that could hit Russia as Pentagon announces $1B aid package

By Social Links for Caitlin Doornbos

Published April 24, 2024, 5:06 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON – The White House announced a new $1 billion military aid package for Ukraine Wednesday – and revealed the Pentagon quietly sent Kyiv controversial long-range missile systems capable of striking deep behind Russia’s frontlines earlier this month.

Minutes after signing a long-delayed $95 billion foreign assistance supplemental bill into law, President Biden promised that aid would begin rolling to Ukraine within “a few hours.”

Moments later, the Pentagon released an announcement detailing the critical weapons and military equipment it was sending to the besieged country.

While most of the equipment in the initial package fulfills basic military needs — and includes anti-aircraft missiles, small arms, artillery rounds, and night vision gear — national security adviser Jake Sullivan revealed that the US had quietly sent Ukraine Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) weeks ago, despite the White House saying there was no funding left for such assistance.

GOP leaders had successfully advocated for ATACMS to be included in future packages if the supplemental passed, senior House Republican staff told The Post last week.

Biden had previously been hesitant to send the impressive weapons to Ukraine, partly due to fears of escalating the fight.

Moscow’s troops had gained the upper hand on the battlefield in recent months, taking more territory and sneaking more missiles past Kyiv’s air-defense systems as Congress tussled over the supplemental funding package, which Biden first requested in October.

“You can measure the impact [of the funding delay] in different ways. With respect to actual territory, we’re talking about tactical losses in the east, not some fundamental structural shift in the underlying dynamic in the conflict,” Sullivan told reporters at the White House.

“But you can also measure it just in terms of the the wear and tear in places on a frontline unit who has to ration ammunition, because they’re not getting the steady flows,” he added.

The package announced Wednesday also includes Bradley fighting vehicles, Humvees, Claymore mines, MRAP vehicles, and Javelin surface-to-air missiles.

While Ukraine still seeks other capabilities, such as more Patriot missile batteries, the lower-budget items such as artillery shells and spare parts to get weapons back on the battlefield will be welcomed by Kyiv’s forces.

When The Post visited Ukrainian troops at the front last month, an infantry unit commander had said the shortage had become so drastic they had rationed their artillery, only firing on the enemy if there was a large group gathered together.

“Ukraine’s long-range capabilities, artillery, and air defense are critical tools for restoring just peace sooner,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a post to X. “I am grateful to all Americans who continue to support Ukraine and recognize that the historical significance of this bill extends beyond politics.”

“This vote [to approve the supplemental] reinforces America’s role as a beacon of democracy and the leader of the free world,” he added.

Wednesday marked the 56th tranche of military equipment the Pentagon has sent Ukraine since the fall of 2021, when Russian President Vladimir Putin began preparing for his invasion launched on Feb. 24, 2022.

It typically takes the Pentagon no more than four days to deliver a new weapons package, meaning the equipment could be in Ukrainian hands by Monday.

15 State Officials Warn Bank Of America About 'De-Banking' Of Christians

by Tyler Durden

Sunday, Apr 21, 2024 - 10:40 PM

Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times,

A group of 15 financial officials from 13 states sent a notice to Bank of America, raising concerns about the institution’s “de-banking” of Christians.

“We write to express our concerns over Bank of America’s troubling track record of politicized de-banking. Bank of America’s de-banking policies and practices threaten the company’s financial health, its reputation with customers, our nation’s economy, and the civil liberties of everyday Americans,” the officials wrote in an April 18 letter to Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan.

“We are especially troubled by Bank of America’s track record of discriminating against religious ministries. Notable examples include Memphis-based charity Indigenous Advance Ministries, the Timothy Two Project, and Christian author and speaker Lance Wallnau.”

In April 2023, Bank of America shut down the account of Indigenous Advance Ministries, which partners with groups in the African nation of Uganda to provide care and education for orphaned and at-risk children. The bank closed accounts of a Memphis church which donated to the organization.

Bank of America provided “vague reasons” for the closure of these accounts, claiming the organization’s activities exceeded the institution’s “risk tolerance” and that it no longer wanted to serve its “business type.”

“Months later—after being confronted by an international media organization—the bank then claimed that it closed the accounts because the for-profit business engaged in ‘debt collection.’ Neither Indigenous Advance Ministries nor the church collect debts, nor was the bank able to point to any policy prohibiting account holders from engaging in such activities,” the letter said.

“In other words that rationale was a ruse, and even if legitimate, would only apply to one of the closed accounts.”

In 2020, the bank closed the account of Timothy Two Project International, which trains pastors in more than 65 nations. In a letter to the group, the bank claimed the closure was due to Timothy Two operating “a business type we have chosen not to service.”

The financial institution also froze the accounts of author Mr. Wallnau, alleging he was suspected of money laundering. However, the bank failed to provide any evidence supporting such accusations.

While the bank eventually unfroze the account, they required Mr. Wallnau to answer a series of invasive questions.

“This pattern of religious de-banking strongly suggests that systemic drivers of religious and political bias may be at work within Bank of America,” the letter said.

“One objective indicator of such a problem is the bank’s egregiously low score on the Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index, the premier benchmark for measuring corporate respect for free speech and religious freedom. Bank of America scored a meager 8 percent out of a possible 100 percent.”

The letter pointed out that Bank of America’s vague terms of service allow them to deny services for political or religious views. For instance, the company’s policy says it can refuse services to clients deemed to “promote intolerance … or hate.”

This policy can be weaponized by the bank against clients who express certain views, which are protected by the First Amendment, the officials wrote.

“Bank of America funds and partners with anti-free speech organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and the Center for American Progress while preventing employees from giving to faith-based groups in their employee gift match program.”

Bank of America, being the second largest bank in the nation and a recipient of a host of government subsidies, is obligated to ensure equal access to marketplace for all Americans and “not play politics,” officials wrote.

The letter was written by officials from Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah.

They demanded that the institution implement certain recommendations, including eliminating “existing viewpoint discriminatory terms” governing customers, updating its terms of service to include a commitment to not discriminate on the basis of religion or politics, and taking part in a survey to assess how the bank’s policies impact the civil liberties of its customers.

The Epoch Times reached out to the bank for comment.

De-banking of Conservatives

The issue of de-banking conservatives has been a hot topic in recent years. A November 2022 statement signed by 60 financial professionals alleged that banks like JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Capital One, and Morgan Stanley were engaged in political or religious discrimination.

“JP Morgan Chase refused to process payments for a GOP-aligned organization,” it said.

In addition, the bank “shuttered the National Committee for Religious Freedom’s account without explanation, demanding that the nonprofit disclose its donors and provide a list of the political candidates it intends to support as a condition of resuming service.”

Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley refused to do business with organizations that raised “significant human rights, environmental, health, and safety or social responsibility issues.”

Similarly, credit behemoth Visa mandated that merchants do not use its services in any manner deemed “hateful.”

“What these vague, unspecified terms mean in practice is subject to the arbitrary interpretation of each of your companies, or any one of thousands of employees charged with enforcing them,” the statement said.

“Policies like these place customers and clients at risk of being ‘debanked’ simply because a company employee disagrees with their point of view on any number of contentious social issues.”

Meanwhile, states are taking action to end financial discrimination against conservatives by the banking industry.

Iowa earlier this year introduced Senate Study Bill 3094, which bans financial institutions from discriminating against customers using a “social credit score.”

The bill defines “social credit score” as any evaluation of a person’s “speech, religious exercise, association, expression, or conduct protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.”

If a financial institution is found violating the law, the attorney general can bring a civil action against the institution. A court can order the institution to pay damages, restitution, or other compensation.

In February, State Rep. Jason Zachary (R-Tenn.) introduced a similar bill in Tennessee. “This legislation prohibits the 20 largest banks in our country from denying financial services to any Tennessean based on political speech, religious belief, or a social credit score,” he said at a state House Banking and Consumer Affairs Committee hearing.

Thanks to Biden, China Could Start World War III Here

by Gordon G. Chang April 22, 2024 at 5:00 am

China is swarming the waters of the Philippines, hoping to intimidate Manila into surrendering territory. US President Joe Biden and the State Department keep on issuing warnings, but Chinese President Xi Jinping continues to ignore them, suggesting deterrence is failing....

[R]ecently, China took Scarborough Shoal .... Washington then brokered an agreement for both sides to withdraw their craft, but only Manila complied. Beijing has been in firm control of Scarborough ever since.

When Chinese leaders, generals and admirals saw Washington's failure to act, they began moving against Second Thomas Shoal and other Philippine reefs and islets in the South China Sea, went after Japan's islets in the East China Sea, and began reclaiming and militarizing features in the Spratly chain. Biden as vice president legitimized the worst elements in the Chinese political system by showing everyone that aggression works.

Beijing has been waging proxy wars on three continents: Europe in Ukraine, Africa across its northern rim, and Asia in Israel and surrounding areas.

Xi apparently now believes he is boss of the world. "Change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years," the Chinese leader told Russian President Vladimir Putin after their 40th in-person chat, in Moscow on March 22 last year. "And we are driving this change together."

Biden is now trying to reestablish deterrence. Britain and France desperately attempted to do that in late summer 1939 when they warned Germany that they would declare war if it invaded Poland. Then, German leaders did not believe the British and the French would in fact fight because for three years they had failed to make good on previous warnings.

Philippine's navy announced that, during the afternoon of April 15, it had observed 55 Chinese vessels in the West Philippine Sea, Manila's designation for the South China Sea.

China is swarming the waters of the Philippines, hoping to intimidate Manila into surrendering territory. US President Joe Biden and the State Department keep on issuing warnings, but Chinese President Xi Jinping continues to ignore them, suggesting deterrence is failing and an incident leading to war could occur at any time.

Of the craft spotted Monday, 48 were from China's maritime militia, six from the Chinese Coast Guard, and one was from the People's Liberation Army Navy.

China's intrusions that day were spread across the South China Sea. Twenty-six of the vessels were spotted at Scarborough Shoal, six at Second Thomas Shoal, 20 near Pagasa Island, two near Panata Island, and the remaining one at Lawak Island.

Beijing claims all the features and waters inside its infamous "cow's tongue," now defined by ten dashes on official maps, which encloses about 85 percent of the South China Sea. Those waters, the Chinese proclaim, are its "blue national soil."

China's expansive claims to Philippine features in that body of water were invalidated in 2016 by a tribunal adjudicating Philippines vs. China, brought under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. The US Secretary of State at the time, John Kerry, said that Beijing should accept the 2016 ruling, but unfortunately also announced that Washington would not take sides. Backing Beijing's position on talks, he then pressured Manila to negotiate with China. Kerry, in short, could not bring himself to uphold the centuries-old American policy of defending international waters and airspace.

Beijing, with virtually no legal support, has consistently maintained that the decision in favor of Manila "is illegal, null, and void." "We do not accept or acknowledge the so-called award," the Chinese Foreign Ministry declared on X on the 18th of this month.

Second Thomas Shoal, where Manila in 1999 grounded the Sierra Madre, a World War II-era vessel, is now a flashpoint. There, Chinese vessels have recently engaged in rammings, water cannon attacks, and other dangerous acts. On March 5, China wounded four Filipino sailors at Second Thomas.

In response, the Biden State Department issued written warnings — two last month on March 5 and 23 — that the U.S. would use force against China to discharge its obligations pursuant to Article IV of the 1951 U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty.

Biden has orally issued similar warnings, for instance on October 25 of last year and the 11th of this month. On the 11th, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visited the White House for defense talks, the first ever Japan-Philippines-U.S. trilateral summit.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration's words and displays of solidarity have not impressed Xi. His blue, white, and gray hulls — the maritime militia, coast guard, and navy, respectively — have stepped up aggressive tactics.

Has deterrence failed? True, China has not recently landed troops at a Philippine island, shoal, or reef. Yet the persistent pressure applied to the Philippines suggests Xi is not terribly worried about America opposing his adventurism.

Why would he feel so bold? For one thing, the Clinton administration in 1995 did nothing after China seized and later fortified Mischief Reef, 130 nautical miles from the Philippine island of Palawan and in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.

More recently, China took Scarborough Shoal. Philippine authorities there had lawfully detained Chinese poachers in early 2012, and China's vessels then swarmed the feature, only 124 nautical miles from the main Philippine island of Luzon and about 550 nautical miles from China's Hainan.

Washington then brokered an agreement for both sides to withdraw their craft, but only Manila complied. Beijing has been in firm control of Scarborough ever since. The Obama administration, while Vice President Biden was in charge of foreign policy, did not oppose the audacious Chinese seizure.  etc.

HUGE COVER-UP? Russian Air Force shot down an Israeli F-35 leaving Jordanian airspace that was set to launch an EMP weapon over Iran

April 22, 2024

Via State of the Nation

Editor’s Note: Highly respected international geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar made a startling revelation today via his Telegram account which sent shockwaves throughout the Global Intelligence Community.

But let’s first acknowledge that nothing about the recent alleged counter-attack by Israel against Iran’s Isfahan Air Base makes any sense whatsoever. In point of fact, everything about all the mainstream media report smacks of a highly coordinated cover-up by all sides. The stories not only keep changing, but they simply don’t add up, except as a very sloppy whitewash of a much more destructive operation.

Well, now it appears that there’s a very good reason why all the involved parties would want to keep such a daffy attempted EMP attack by Israel concealed. There’s no question that Netanyahu’s war cabinet was set on delivering a serious blow to Iran since their penchant for revenge always demands ten times the damage they receive from any enemy. Hence, the following account of the actual thwarted Israeli “EMP operation” does make a lot of sense.

And, given how criminally insane the entire leadership of the Zionist State of Israel is, such a brazen and reckless attack is certainly expected of Tel Aviv at any time. See: WATCH! Today, the barbaric Israeli regime dropped a 900 kg bomb on totally defenseless civilians in Rafah!

N.B. What follows is the original Alt Media report detailing this quite astonishing, yet very plausible, nuclear and/or EMP attack plan by the IDF.

Attempted EMP Attack Over Iran By Israel

Posted by Pepe Escobar

Israel initially chose to respond with extreme force.

An F-35 loaded with a nuclear bomb was sent east over Jordan.

The mission: cause a high-altitude detonation over Iran that would provoke a surge in the high-capacity power lines, crippling Iran’s electric grid, as well as disabling all electronic devices.

An EMP attack.

However…

… As the Israeli F-35 was leaving Jordanian airspace it was shot down by the Russian Air Force.

EXCLUSIVE

THE REAL STORY OF THE ISRAELI COUNTER RESPONSE

From a very high level intel source.

In Asia.

NOT Russia-China.

Although the strategic partnership, of course, exchanges at the highest level 24-7.

Confirmed and re-confirmed.

It will be great to know what Sy Hersh hears from his Beltway sources.

Here we go.

Hence the publicised version of the Israeli counter response was such a travesty.

In the end all sides decided not to publicise the real news - to de-escalate what could well turn into WWIII.

Biden’s Crackdown on the Internet Is WORSE Than You Think | Glenn TV | Ep 343

We’re being played: The Left isn’t “saving democracy,” and the internet is NOT free. The Murthy v. Missouri Supreme Court case is just the tip of the iceberg. The pro-speech plaintiffs argue the Biden White House colluded with social media platforms to censor speech they don’t like. Speech on topics like COVID origins, masks, vaccines, lockdowns, the Hunter Biden laptop, climate change, mail-in voting, and election integrity. There is much more of this censorship in our future. Thanks to a FOIA request and eventual lawsuit brought by America First Legal, AFL was able to uncover a report by U.S. Agency for International Development that was intended for internal use only. Glenn digs into this report called the “Dis-information Primer,” which provides a disturbing insider’s view of our government’s strategies for dealing with rampant so-called “information disorder.” And instead of debunking speech it doesn’t like, the government employs a strategy called “pre-bunking.” Wait, what?! We are up against a SPRAWLING network of government agencies, think tanks, and the largest companies in the world, all collaborating in multiple ways with the same end-goal: to censor unapproved speech in media and especially online. And you can bet voices at Blaze Media will be first on the chopping block …

‘Conspiracy Theories’ Aren’t 'Theoretical' Anymore: The US Govt Happily Murders Political Opponents, Carries Out Bioweapon Attacks Upon The Population And Openly Steals Elections

- The US Govt Under Joe Biden Has Become The Laughingstock Of The Planet

By John Green and All News Pipeline April 22, 2024

The national mood in the mid-twentieth century was very different from now.

- The United States was respected around the world -- even if not necessarily liked.

- Technology was advancing faster than at any time in human history.

- Our cities were mostly orderly, safe, and clean.

- We believed there were few hardships which couldn’t be overcome with hard work.

- Opportunities seemed endless, as was our optimism.

- We were completely naïve about the danger posed by our own government.

Not everything was sunny. We had problems that needed attention. That is the nature of human existence after all. But when Ronald Reagan said, “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem,” we just thought he was promoting self-reliance and highlighting government inefficiency. As I said, we were naïve.

Along with that naivete, was a belief that our government would never intentionally harm us. It might be incompetent, but we didn’t think it was malicious. Theories of vast government criminal conspiracies were considered delusional. Going to the police and claiming that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the CIA (as Robert Kennedy Jr. is suggesting), would have gotten one labeled a “conspiracy theory” nut; and more likely would trigger a psych evaluation than a criminal investigation. That was the American worldview before Barack Obama.

Things changed in 2016 when the conspiracies stopped being secret. Government operatives decided they could work with a political party to stop an outsider from playing in their sandbox -- by any means necessary. The FBI, CIA, DNC, and MSM created the Russian collusion hoax to undermine Donald Trump’s campaign -- but he won anyway.

Four years later, the same conspirators colluded to withhold critical information from the voters which likely would have changed the outcome of the election. Seventeen percent of Biden voters claim they would have voted differently had they known about the Hunter Biden laptop. This time the plan worked, and Trump was removed from the Oval Office. But he was still a threat.

(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)

When Trump announced his intent to run for office again, the DoJ in collusion with Democrat state and local prosecutors commenced a campaign of lawfare to scuttle Trump’s campaign. They twisted the law, and corrupted any notion of justice to indict Trump using legal theories which had never been tried before. They have identified their target, and are trashing our criminal justice system to get him -- and only him. Lavrentiy Beria would be proud.

Of course, the trials are being held in deep Blue Democrat party strongholds. Partisans in robes -- laughably calling themselves “judges” -- are ensuring that trials by Trump’s “peers” are actually trials by the Trump Derangement Syndrome-afflicted. Conviction seems inevitable.

To make sure the Trump problem is solved permanently, Democrat congressman Bennie Thompson has proposed a bill to strip Donald Trump of his Secret Service protection if he is convicted. Does anyone doubt Trump’s fate if placed in Attica or Sing Sing without his protective detail? Though the bill is unlikely to pass, it does reveal the Democrat mindset. They are perfectly willing to see a political adversary murdered -- so long as they maintain plausible deniability. But sure, Donald Trump is the real danger to our country.

Shockingly, the Democrats aren’t even trying to hide their intentions anymore. Apparently, they consider us too stupid or too powerless to stop them. That’s a rather sobering thought.

As we watch all this unfold, we know that vast government criminal conspiracies are no longer theoretical. There is nothing demented or delusional about believing our government would willingly facilitate the murder a political threat. The actions of the DoJ in conjunction with the legislation proposed by the Democrats makes that perfectly clear.

The plot to place Donald Trump at the tender mercies of a prison’s “genpop” is not the only evidence of government criminal conspiracy.

The ATF really did traffic guns to Mexican drug cartels to promote gun-control legislation. One federal agent and countless civilians were killed with those guns.

The DoJ sought to remove a duly elected President -- even to the point of the Deputy Attorney General offering to “wear a wire” to record conversations with the President (with cabinet support).

The FBI really did set up some useful idiots to advanced their domestic terrorist narrative (the Governor Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping). It was a classic entrapment scheme in which federal assets planned the crime, and hapless stooges stepped in the trap.

All this is changing our worldview and is causing us to observe our government with a new level of skepticism.

The deaths of Vince Foster, Seth Rich, and Jeffery Epstein were rather politically convenient for the Democrats. Were they something other than two random acts of violence and one suicide?

COVID was created using our tax dollars in a Chinese lab, and caused a pandemic which affected the 2020 election. Was it really an accident committed by well-intentioned, but careless scientists -- or something else? Certainly, the Democrats didn’t let that crisis go to waste. Many thousands died. Were they just the broken eggs needed to make the make the election omelet?

A Chinese spy balloon was allowed to cross our continent and collect information from our most sensitive facilities -- apparently with the blessing of the Biden administration. But we’re told that the millions of dollars flowing from China to the Biden family had nothing to do with the President’s decision to leave the reconnaissance craft unmolested.

Two whistleblowers (Gal Luft and Alexander Smirnov) have come forward with evidence of Joe Biden selling government influence to foreign nationals. Conveniently, both have been arrested by the same DoJ which is setting a death trap for President Trump.

Things have changed a lot since the mid-20th century. The children of the 21st century have a completely different worldview.

- The United States is a corrupt and impotent international laughingstock.

- We’ve become technically stunted. Replacing the Francis Scott Key bridge is expected to take three times longer than building the Golden Gate bridge almost a century ago.

- Our cities are becoming unlivable post-apocalyptic hellscapes.

- “Living the American dream” is no longer a middle-class expectation.

- We know that fear of our own government is a prudent mindset.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doesn’t sound so crazy now that the conspiracies are no longer theoretical.

Which Major City Will Completely Collapse First – Los Angeles, Chicago Or New York City?

April 21, 2024 by Michael

In 2024, virtually all major U.S. cities have certain things in common. First of all, if you visit the downtown area of one of our major cities you are likely to see garbage, human excrement and graffiti all over the place. As you will see below, some of our core urban areas literally look like they belong in a third world country. Most of our politicians don’t seem too concerned about doing anything to clean up all the filth, and so it shouldn’t be a surprise that rat populations are absolutely exploding all over the country. In some of our largest cities, the total rat population is numbered in the millions. Meanwhile, rampant theft, out of control violence, endless migration, predatory gangs and the worst drug crisis in the entire history of our nation have combined to create a “perfect storm” of social decay that is unlike anything that any of us have ever seen before. Millions of law-abiding citizens and countless businesses have been fleeing America’s largest cities, and property values in our core urban areas have been absolutely crashing. We really are in the early stages of a full-blown societal “collapse”, and things just keep getting worse with each passing day.

In this article, I want to focus on the three largest metropolitan areas in the United States: New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

John Williams recently took his camera with him as he walked through downtown Los Angeles, and he described what he witnessed as “hell”…

Decades of failed policies have transformed one of the greatest cities in the entire country into one of the worst.

At this point, theft has become so rampant that even the ultra-progressive politicians in California have come to the conclusion that something must be done.

So several bills that would “crack down on shoplifting” have been introduced in the state legislature…

Shoplifters beware.

The California Assembly has introduced a comprehensive package of seven bills aimed at addressing the rising concerns over retail theft across the state.

One of the key initiatives is Assembly Bill 2943, jointly authored by Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur (D) and Speaker Robert Rivas (D). The bill targets serial retail thieves by introducing a new crime with penalties of up to three years behind bars for possession of stolen property with intent to resell. It also allows for the aggregation of similar thefts from different victims to charge grand theft, under specific criteria.

Hopefully something will get done, because right now a criminal in the state of California can “literally walk into a retail store every single day of the year and steaI $949 worth of merchandise” and never spend a single minute in jail.

Los Angeles has become a paradise for shoplifters, but many would argue that things are even worse in the Big Apple.

As I discussed a few days ago, New York City has “a $4.4 billion shoplifting economy”.

And approximately 90,000 packages are stolen in New York City every single day.

This is just one of the reasons why we have seen a mass exodus.

Countless New Yorkers have already left for greener pastures, and lots more are thinking of leaving…

About 7 million New Yorkers plan to leave the state, a new survey revealed this month.

In a new Marist poll, 37 percent of New Yorkers—roughly 7 million people—said they plan to move away. The number was slightly more concentrated among Republicans, as 46 percent said they plan to leave the state compared to just 29 percent of Democrats.

Unsurprisingly, many of those that are fleeing are heading to Florida…

For many, Florida remains one of the top places to move, but Southern states in general have been recording the biggest influx in transplants.

According to Realtor.com, Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Tampa and Orlando remain some of the top locations for New Yorkers to start again.

I wouldn’t want to live in the Big Apple either.

The rat problem alone would be enough for me to move.

It just continues to escalate, and politicians are now proposing to use “rat contraceptives” to deal with “the millions of rats lurking in subway stations and empty lots”…

In New York City, the idea to distribute rat contraceptives got fresh attention in city government Thursday following the death of an escaped zoo owl, known as Flaco, who was found dead with rat poison in his system.

City Council Member Shaun Abreu proposed a city ordinance Thursday that would establish a pilot program for controlling the millions of rats lurking in subway stations and empty lots by using birth control instead of lethal chemicals. Abreu, chair of the Committee on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management, said the contraceptives also are more ethical and humane than other methods.

Unfortunately, New York City doesn’t have the worst rat problem in America.

That title actually belongs to the city of Chicago…

Chicago has once again been declared the rattiest city in the U.S. according to Orkin’s annual ranking.

Los Angeles surpassed New York on this year’s list now holding the #2 spot and bringing the Big Apple down to #3, Orkin shared.

Other notable shifts included Houston, which moved 10 spots up to #20, and Charlotte, North Carolina that rose 16 spots to #21.

Somehow, the rat problem in Chicago has gone to an entirely new level in 2024.

In fact, one local resident says that it is now the worst that she has ever seen in her entire lifetime…

A resurgence of rats has gotten out of control in Chicago’s Portage Park neighborhood, multiple residents explained Friday as they called for city leaders to take further action.

Diana Gazda, a resident of the Far Northwest Side community for seven decades, said she has never seen an infestation like it.

“We never had a rat problem like this,” she stated. “I’ve been here 71 years in my house.”

In addition to being world famous for rats, the Windy City is also world famous for violence.

In Chicago, you can be gunned down at any time of the day or night.

Nobody is safe, and that is especially true for police officers…

A Chicago police officer was shot to death early Sunday in Gage Park on the Southwest Side in what sources are saying was an apparent carjacking.

Officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert about 2:55 a.m. and found Officer Luis Huesca with multiple gunshot wounds in the 3100 block of West 56th Street, a police spokesperson said in a statement.

Huesca, 30, was driving home from work, according to city officials. Huesca, who was still wearing his uniform, was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

So which of these cities will completely collapse first?

I think that is a very good question.

They are all headed downhill very rapidly, and they are all being run by radical leftists.

Of course the exact same things could be said about dozens of other U.S. cities.

For years, I have been warning my readers about the “cultural transformation” that has been taking place in America.

How we raise our kids really matters.

We have been failing them for decades, and now the consequences can be very clearly seen in the streets of our major cities.

A horrific societal collapse is upon us, and yet this nation continues to refuse to change direction.

Multiple rockets have been fired from Iraq towards U.S. military base in Syria

At least five rockets were launched from Iraq’s town of Zummar towards a U.S. military base in northeastern Syria on Sunday; two Iraqi security sources told Reuters.

The attack against U.S. forces is the first since early February, when Iranian-backed groups in Iraq stopped their attacks against U.S. troops.

The attack comes one day after Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani returned from a visit to the United States and met with President Joe Biden at the White House.

Two security sources and a senior army officer said a rocket launcher fixed on the back of a small truck had been parked in Zummar border town with Syria.

The military official said the truck caught fire with an explosion from unfired rockets at the same time as warplanes were in the sky.

“We can’t confirm that U.S. warplanes bombed the truck unless we investigate it,” said a military official on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the incident.

Columbia rabbi warns Jewish students to go home, don’t come back to campus because of ‘extreme antisemitism’

By Social Links for Doree Lewak and Social Links for Isabel Keane

Published April 21, 2024 Updated April 21, 2024, 12:47 p.m. ET

A prominent rabbi at Columbia University took the drastic step Sunday of warning Jewish students to go home and not return to campus because of “extreme antisemitism” at the Ivy League school.

The dire directive followed yet another night of virulent anti-Israel protests on campus — which included one protester holding up a sign suggesting that students waving Israeli flags should be the next target of Hamas terrorists.”

The events of the last few days, especially last night, have made it clear that Columbia University’s Public Safety and the NYPD cannot guarantee Jewish students’ safety in the face of extreme antisemitism and anarchy,” Rabbi Elie Buechler told students Sunday morning over WhatsApp.

“It deeply pains me to say that I would strongly recommend you return home as soon as possible and remain home until the reality in and around campus has dramatically improved.

“It is not our job as Jews to ensure our own safety on campus,” he said. “No one should have to endure this level of hatred, let alone at school.”

Jewish students who showed up on campus Saturday night to protest antisemitism at the prestigious university carried Israeli flags and sang “One Day,” a song of peace by reggae singer and rapper Matisayhu — only to be promptly attacked by hate speech and threatened with calls to violence, witnesses told The Post.

“People were yelling at Hamas to strike Tel Aviv,” a sophomore at Barnard, a college at Columbia, told The Post, recalling how the previous night, a keffiyeh-clad student penetrated the Jewish students’ rally with a sign reading “Al Kassam’s [Hamas’s military wing’s] next target.”

The student’s sign, which was captured on video posted to X, included an arrow pointing at the Jewish students peacefully protesting.

What to know about the antisemitism controversy at Columbia University:

Columbia University president Minouche Shafik was accused of “gross negligence” while testifying before the House Education and Workforce Committee about antisemitic incidents at the school and pro-Palestinian indoctrination. Shafik defended the school’s response after Oct. 7, but refused to tell lawmakers at the hearing if the phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is antisemitic.

A report from the Ivy League school’s Task Force on Antisemitism found “repeated violations by student groups” at Columbia after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel.

Ahead of the hearing, Jewish students told The Post that they have been targeted and witnessed antisemitism at the Morningside Heights campus. The Columbia University Jewish Alumni Association told The Post that the college’s administrators must “do their job” in reining in unauthorized student protests.

Shortly after the Oct. 7 attacks, more than 100 Columbia professors signed a letter defending students who support the “military action” by Hamas.

In February, an antisemitic poster depicting Israel as a skunk appeared on campus — which experts liken to a propaganda poster used by the Nazis in World War II.

An unsanctioned “Resistance 101” event was held on campus in March by a Palestinian activist with alleged ties to a group labeled a terror organization by the US. Four students who participated were later suspended by Columbia.

While the congressional hearing was in progress, Columbia students erected 60 tents on campus to demand that the university divest from Israel. One of the leaders of the protests, Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, was suspended from Barnard College — a women’s college affiliated with Columbia.

Shocking video footage captured a protester near the university declare, “We’re all Hamas” and “Long live Hamas” Wednesday. Another protester was arrested Wednesday night for repeatedly hitting and scratching an NYPD cop, according to law enforcement officials.

On Thursday, more than 100 other protesters were arrested after Shafik announced the campus’s closure.

“That’s a call to violence. It’s totally out of control. It’s total anarchy,” the student said, adding that Jewish students’ right to “peacefully protest” had been taken away.

The mother of another Barnard sophomore bashed the university for losing control.

“Columbia is out of control. This is untenable. People breaking into campus, kids calling public safety that refused to intervene. … Signs up saying ‘Hamas should kill you next’ and pointing to Jewish kids with Israeli flags who were singing,” the mom said.

Her daughter agreed that the protests have spiraled out of control.

“We all want to be here and get a good education, and it’s not fair that this is impeding on that,” she said.

“I don’t think it’s safe to be on campus,” the student said. “We’re not going to go anywhere — we’re not running away — but you can’t be a student there now. They’re protesting all day and all night. I hear it at night when I’m trying to sleep.

“You can barely sleep, barely get to class. It’s definitely getting in the way of being a student,” she added.

While some students seemed to be heeding Rabbi Buechler’s advice, others were determined to stay on campus, with one Jewish student saying he plans to remain even after being “chased up the block” a few days ago by a pro-Palestine mob.

“It’s honestly horrifying now. To walk around Columbia’s campus right now is to walk through a completely hostile environment,” the senior, Avi Weinberg, 25, told The Post on Sunday.

Weinberg slammed Columbia’s administration for losing its “backbone” and failing to do more to protect students.

He added that he doesn’t plan to follow the rabbi’s advice or take classes over Zoom just because “a group of lunatics decided to take over campus.

“We cannot go back to living in a world … where Jewish students can’t go to school,” Weinberg said.

“Walking through campus right now as a Jewish student – Zionist or not – if you’re not in agreement with their ideology, you’re not safe,” he said of the anti-Israel protesters. “You can’t walk on a lawn on a campus that’s open to all students. You cannot walk on that lawn – an entire team of students co-opted this lawn and [interrogate you].”

House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who grilled Columbia’s president this week in a congressional hearing on the university’s response to antisemitism, agreed Sunday that things “clearly lost control” on campus.

“Over the past few months and especially in the last 24 hours, Columbia’s leadership has clearly close control of its campus putting Jewish students’ safety at risk. It is crystal clear that Columbia University — previously a beacon of academic excellence founded by Alexander Hamilton — needs new leadership,” she said in a statement.

“President [Minouche] Shafik must immediately resign. And the Columbia Board must appoint a President who will protect Jewish students and enforce school policies.”

On Sunday, Columbia’s and Barnard’s chapters of the Jewish community organization Hillel sent out a message ensuring they will remain open and available for students who may need a quiet place to study or be with friends.

“Columbia University and the City of New York must do more to protect students. We call on the University Administration to act immediately in restoring calm to campus,” wrote Brian Cohen, the executive director of the Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life. “The City must ensure that students can walk up and down Broadway and Amsterdam without fear of harassment.”

NY Home Depot hires guards, dogs to keep parking lot safe from thieves, aggressive migrants

By Social Links for Georgia Worrell and Social Links for Tina Moore

Published April 21, 2024, 6:00 a.m. ET

A New York Home Depot has deployed a guard dog — and other stores may be close behind — to protect shoppers from aggressive migrants and thieves flooding their parking lots, The Post has learned.

Two men wearing MSA Security caps and bulletproof vests with a German Shepherd in tow patrolled the Home Depot in New Rochelle on Tuesday.

“It’s more about omnipresence,” one guard said, explaining that the company was contracted a few weeks ago. “It’s not like we let them go bite anyone or anything.”

The guard said the store hired them for a number of reasons.

“It’s not just because of [migrants], but because of a myriad of other things too, like people breaking into cars, that kind of stuff,” he said.

The guarded New Rochelle lot was quiet and no migrants loitered there when The Post visited this week, however, seven miles away in Throggs Neck, The Bronx, at least 30 male migrants hovered at the doors of Home Depot.

Some were day laborers simply trying to “shape” for work with local contractors.

But many others aggressively confronted shoppers, trying to sell them phony Apple Airpods or soliciting tips for lifting items from shopping carts into cars — even when uninvited.

“You come out and you’re a woman by yourself, they literally leech onto your wagon, and you’re like ‘No, I don’t need any help,'” one worker said. “And when they’re following you to your car, it’s unnerving.”

She said a female supervisor saw one of the men washing his privates with a water bottle in the lot, and that several women have called customer service to complain that migrants robbed them of purses or phones.

She’s seen the number of grifters in the lot swell as the migrant population in New York City explodes.

“I came to work one day and there had to be 100 guys out here,” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Oh, my God!'”

A regular customer at the store, who asked to be identified only as Cheryl, said she and her husband had a frightening encounter last month.

A man “practically runs over and he goes to point like, ‘Can I take the stuff,’ and my husband said ‘No, thank you,'” she recalled, noting that they only had a couple of boxes and a paint scraper.

“He’s still keeps following, like on top of us,” she said. “I said ‘No, thank you.'”

When her husband turned around to open the car door, the man “put his hand” on one of the boxes in their cart. .My husband said ‘Don’t touch anything.'”

But the man didn’t stop.

“So I held up my pepper spray and I yelled ‘He said don’t touch,'” she recalled.

“And all of a sudden he goes ‘Oh, you don’t have to yell at me.’ . . . but he started looking like he was getting angry. So we just hurried up and jumped in the car.”

She called Home Depot’s Atlanta headquarters to complain but got “the brush off,” she said. A regional manager then told her they were working on bringing security dogs to two Bronx stores.

Customers frequently complain about the crush of migrants, said LaurieAnn Masciocco, who works in the store’s customer service department.

“It’s come to the point where they’re invading personal space, touching people’s belongings, just harassing,” she said. “I get it, you’re trying to make a buck. But when it becomes aggressive and harassing there’s a major issue.”

Her husband went four miles away to the Pelham Gardens location in The Bronx earlier this month and he got mobbed there too, she said.

One 52-year-old Mexican national, Jimeno, who has lived in The Bronx since arriving in the United States 20 years ago, was at the Throggs Neck store seeking legitimate work from contractors.

“There are a lot of people who have been coming here for a lot of years . . . asking people for jobs in construction and if they need help with projects,” he told The Post in Spanish. “We come here to find work.”

He said the recent arrivals who aggressively solicit for tips have made it harder for the day laborers to find work.

“This affects us a lot, because now people don’t want to communicate with us because they’re scared,” he said. “They confuse us with them.”

One migrant at the Throggs Neck location, who said he was from Senegal, told The Post he makes about $300 a day, charging $10 every time he helps a customer push their cart or move their purchases into their vehicle.

Home Depot corporate spokeswoman Margaret Smith said the company prohibits loitering and solicitation at its stores and regularly works with law enforcement. She would not say if the Bronx stores will add security, including dogs.

“While we can’t go into specifics about our security measures,” she said, “it’s not unusual for us to use third-party security at various stores across the country.”

Global Cataclysms

By Hal Lindsey

The nations of planet earth are presently engaged in a deadly game of brinksmanship. It’s happening on every continent.

In Europe, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine threatens to engulf the region. And European wars have a tendency to become world wars. Finland and Sweden, two previously neutral countries, recently joined NATO. Sweden had been neutral since the early 1800s. It resisted taking sides in World Wars I and II, as well as the Cold War. But not anymore. Sweden finally joined NATO this year, while its neighbor Finland joined in 2023.

What happened to Finland and Sweden’s traditional stance of neutrality? Putin happened. The communist leaders of Soviet Russia were not enough to get them into NATO, but Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine scared everyone in Europe. It awakened memories of Adolf Hitler, of global war, and of holocaust.

Nations across the globe feel vulnerable and are looking for safety. They are arming as never before. China’s new high-tech weapons, its unprecedented military buildup, and its aggressions in the South China Sea and Taiwan have also scared the nations. Reuters reported a year and a half ago that between then and 2027, “Japan will undertake its biggest arms buildup since World War Two in a race to deter Beijing from war in East Asia.”

Direct acts of violence resulting from the Israel-Hamas war have already touched nations everywhere. With Iran’s lock grip on the Shiite Muslim world, it has stirred up nation after nation into acts of war against Israel and anyone seen as Israel’s allies. The Middle East has been a powder keg for a long time, but now it is a powder keg in a lightning storm.

These and a host of other things going on today make a perfect setup for events that the Bible says will take place during seven years of tribulation. I believe those years are very close. But they are not imminent. The global conflagrations described in Revelation will not take place until after the Rapture — that is until after God has evacuated His people from the planet.

Some ask what is holding things up. Why doesn’t God just get on with it? 2 Peter 3:9 answers. “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”

God’s “slowness” is a result of His mercy. But He will not delay forever. In the Old Testament, Israel came under God’s judgement many times. Over and over, they failed to live up to the bargain they made with God. They sinned. The rejected Him, His messengers, and His word. But the thing that often triggered His actual judgements was harm to children. For instance, when they engaged in child sacrifice to idols.

Children are being abused on an institutional level today, and it’s happening all over the world. Millions are being slain in the womb. If they survive those early days, psychological tricks are played on them in their classrooms and in their entertainments — tricks designed to inoculate them against receiving the Gospel and tricks made to confuse them and make them miserable. Could these things trigger the time of judgement on the earth? Yes.

In the meantime, every day is an act of God’s mercy and kindness, giving people time and space to come to Him, and allowing those of us who know Him to preach the Gospel to the whole world. Jesus said in John 9:4 (NASB), “We must work the works of Him who sent Me, as long as it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.”

India delivers first BrahMos cruise missiles to Philippines

News Maritime Security

By Dylan Malyasov Apr 20, 2024

India delivered the first batch of BrahMos cruise missiles to the Philippines on April 19.

This delivery comes two years after the signing of a $375 million deal between the two nations.

The export of ground launcher systems for the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system, along with the missiles themselves, commenced last month. This historic event marks the first time India has exported the BrahMos missile to a foreign country.

Amidst escalating tensions in the South China Sea, the delivery of BrahMos missile systems to the Philippines holds strategic significance. The Philippines intends to deploy the three batteries of the BrahMos missile system in their coastal areas to enhance their defense capabilities and counter potential Chinese threats in the region.

Developed as a joint venture between the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyeniya, the BrahMos missile is renowned for its advanced capabilities. It operates on a two-stage propulsion system, comprising a solid propellant booster engine for initial acceleration and a liquid ramjet engine for sustained supersonic cruise.

One of the key features of the BrahMos missile is its low radar signature, providing it with stealth capabilities. With a cruising altitude of up to 15 kilometers and the ability to descend to as low as 10 meters during the terminal phase, the BrahMos is highly versatile and effective in engaging targets with precision.

U.K.’s Only Munitions Factory Explodes, Just Days After U.S. Army Ammunition Factory Catches Fires in Scranton, PA

by Anthony Scott Apr. 20, 2024 5:20 pm

The United Kingdom’s lone munitions filing factory exploded on Wednesday, just two days after a fire erupted at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported on April 15th, the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant (SCAAP), the United States’ primary producer of 155mm artillery shell bodies, caught fire.

Just two days later, on April 17th, a section of the United Kingdom’s lone munition factory exploded after a single shell went off inside the factory.

The explosion occurred at the BAE Systems munitions factory in Glascoed, Wales.

BAE Systems is the biggest defense contractor in Europe and the 7th largest in the world.

The cause of the explosion at the munition factory is currently being investigated.

Per The Daily Mail:

Locals living close to a BAE Systems weapons plant rocked by an explosion earlier today say the blast ‘felt like an earthquake’ as a shell went off.

The blast took place at the BAE Systems munitions factory in Glascoed, Monmouthshire shortly before 10.50am.

MailOnline understands the explosion relates to a single shell going off at the munitions filling factory, run by BAE, Europe’s biggest military contractor.

Emergency services were deployed to the site, which is spread across a large field close to the south-eastern village; locals say the blast ‘wasn’t loud, but felt like an earthquake’.

BAE Systems has promised a full investigation into the incident at the factory, which is the UK’s last remaining munitions filling factory.

The fire erupted at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant is also under investigation.

NATO Officers and Soldiers Began To FLEE From The Western Armies En MASSE┃Russians Captured KRASNOYE

*****************************************************

Meanwhile, very serious problems began to be observed in the North Atlantic alliance, as a result of which the NATO leadership flew into an uncontrollable panic. Against this background, the European Union is seriously thinking in decreeing universal compulsory military service. In order to somehow remedy the situation with the shortage of manpower in the regular army, the Danish government even proposed to recruit women to somehow compensate for the shortage of soldiers and officers in the ranks of the armed forces..................

Defense Sector Panicking: Iran Missiles Defeated "Most Advanced, Integrated, ABM Defensive Systems"

Hal Turner World 16 April 2024 Hits: 35121

By now, most of the world knows that Iran launched a multi-faceted attack against Israel about 48 hours ago. The "fallout" from that attack is now becoming frighteningly clear, and it has Defense Experts TERRIFIED.

As the attack was in-progress, Iran undertook a very unusual, and apparently foolish, series of steps. They announced they had launched drones and then cruise missiles against Israel. They announced this despite the fact the drones and missiles still had 57 more minutes to travel before reaching their targets!

Expert Observers thought it very strange - and foolish - that an attacker would give out such information while the very weapons they launched had not yet arrived. It gave Israel and its allies time to go after those weapons, which they did.

Well . . . it turns out this was not strange or foolish - it was planned. Iran launched the old dregs of their arsenal! First generation drones. First generation cruise missiles. What they launched was the junk they had laying around for years! Slow moving, loud, junk. Iran WANTED Israeli defenses to focus on that old junk, and not on what they would fire next: Ballistic Missiles.

Many of the drones simply fell out of the sky from malfunctions. Others were easily intercepted by fighter jets from Israel, the US, and the UK, with some help from French naval assets in the Mediterranean Sea.

There was a much-heralded "99% interception success rate" broadcast around the world for all to hear. Turns out, there's a problem. A MAJOR problem: Iran's Ballistic Missiles. A few of them, got through.

Almost no one noticed this "problem" because there has been no media coverage of it, until this article.

The hint there was a BIG problem, came today. US Media reported:

"U.S. National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan stated today that the Department of Defense alongside U.S. Central Command is continuing to Increase the Readiness and Integration of Air Defenses and Early Warning Systems in the Middle East, in order to Erode the Effectiveness of Iran’s Missile and Drone Capabilities."

When I read that, I thought to myself "Who asked you?" Why say something like that? Unless . . . . unless. . . . there's a big problem. So I started looking, and asking questions. Here's what I found:

The missiles that hit the two bases in the Negev region didn't just "get through." They did so against the most-heavily-defended area in the world, protected with the most advanced, integrated, Anti-Ballistic-Missile (ABM) systems known to exist in the West.

Two Israeli Bases in the Negev region and one Intelligence Base in the far north of Israel on Mount Hermon, got hit by Iranian missiles.

In the north, the secret intelligence base in the north of the occupied Golan Heights located in Jabal al-Sheikh (Mount Hermon), got hit and seriously damaged.

In the south, the Israeli Nevatim and Ramon Bases got hit and THIS is where the problem reared its ugly head.

According to secret intelligence information, at the Nevatim Air Base in the Negev Desert, Hangar to Israel's F-35 Stealth aircraft and Mossad Spy aircraft, at least Forty-four (44) Mossad personnel were killed.

But for the Defense sector, that pales in comparison to what took place for Iran to achieve that.

Nevatim was defended by the world’s most advanced integrated anti-missile defense shield which incorporated Arrow 2, David’s Sling, THAAD, and Patriot 3 with the AN/TPY-2 X-band surveillance and targeting radar. This system was designed to exclusively defend against the Iranian medium-range ballistic missile threat.

Below is an actual photo of the actual radar deployed to protect those bases. Here is what it looks like:

Advanced US Radar Negev Desert Israel

And yet . . . 5 to 7 missiles hit Nevatim. The Israelis have acknowledged 2 runways and three warehouse structures hit.

Not a knockout blow — it wasn’t intended as such.

But any Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) expert would note that the point of impact was center mass, a clear indication of precision guidance.

5-7 missiles hit the world’s most heavily defended location, defeating an integrated ABM defense that was custom built to defeat the very missiles it failed to shoot down.

THAT has some people in the Defense sector, literally panicked. You see, if 5-7 missiles got through, then it is a given that others can get through. And simple math reveals that had Iran fired thirty (30) missiles at that base, the base would no longer exist.

The Iranians know this now. They __know__ Israeli "missile defenses" cannot stop their medium range ballistic missiles with any great reliability.

While Jordan fired US PATRIOT missiles to down a few Iranian missiles, Jordan's PATRIOTS are now completely depleted. They have NONE left.

Fighter jets did down a few additional Iranian missiles, but not many.

As such, Israel is not only vulnerable, there is no "filler" technology that can be quickly inserted into the advanced, integrated system, to make things better for Israel. Put simply, right now, Israel is factually defenseless from any large salvos of these missiles.

Think about that for a moment.

The most advanced, integrated air defense radar system in the world, its mission is to detect Iranian missile launches, and pass targeting data to Israeli Arrow, David’s Sling, and U.S. THAAD ABM batteries deployed to protect sensitive Israeli sites, including Dimona and the Nevatim and Ramon air bases.

Iranian missiles struck both Nevatim and Ramon air bases.

The best surveillance radar in the world, working in concert with the most sophisticated anti-missile defenses in the world, were impotent in the face of the Iranian attack.

What has galled Israel is not the attack itself, it was that the most advanced missile defense systems in the world couldn't stop the very missiles they were built to stop!

Iran has now achieved a "strategic deterrence" of Israel. Israel now knows Iran will hit them, but can also hit them at-will with missiles Israel cannot stop.

Even worse, now that the "junk" is gone from Iran's inventory, they can bring out the Second and third generation versions of their drones and missiles. Hezbollah did that TODAY. Hezbollah utilized almost silent, very-much-faster, jet powered drones to hit Israel in the north today.

People on the ground did not hear the drones until they were dive bombing the targets!

If Iran starts using these, the speed alone will cut down flight time, by half or more, making it even harder to intercept such drones if launched.

What the second or third generation cruise missiles might be able to do, none of us know yet.

We've now seen what Iran's Ballistic Missiles can do - nasty!

The Iran response to the Israel attack upon the Iranian Embassy in Syria, has opened a chasm in the Middle East balance of power. The world changed that day. Not in ways the general public knew - until now.

Republican Speaker of the House Flushes US Constitution Down the Toilet

April 18, 2024

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

As I predicted on April 11, the police state got the Republicans to reconsider and to pass their warrantless spying and home entry. The Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson cast the deciding vote that nixed the warrant requirement.

This tells us all we need to know about Republicans. They are part of the problem.

Super-Patriots will say “we have to do this to protect ourselves from terrorists.” They don’t understand that without the Constitution we have no protection.

Edward Snowden reports that the situation is even more serious than I thought. A section of the FISA Act is being enlarged to require every company and person that provides any internet-related service to assist NSA surveillance.

Indonesia tsunami alert after 'Ring of Fire' volcano erupts several times - with 11,000 evacuated

Indonesian authorities issued a tsunami alert Wednesday after eruptions at Ruang Mountain sent ash thousands of feet high. Officials ordered more than 11,000 people to leave the area.

By Matt Atherton Deputy News Editor

Indonesian authorities have sounded the tsunami alarm after a series of major eruptions at Ruang mountain, with ash clouds reaching thousands of feet into the sky. Over 11,000 locals have been instructed to evacuate the danger zone.

The volcano, situated on Sulawesi island's northern flank, has experienced no less than five significant eruptions within the last day, as reported by Indonesia's Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation. The alert level for the volcano has been escalated to the maximum.

By Wednesday morning, at least 800 people had already vacated the vicinity.

Home to 270 million individuals, Indonesia's vast archipelago boasts 120 active volcanoes, largely due to its position on the "Ring of Fire," a Pacific Ocean region known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Officials are advising both tourists and residents to maintain a distance of at least 6 kilometers (about 3.7 miles) from the 725-meter-tall (2,378-foot) Ruang volcano.

There is growing concern among authorities that a segment of the volcano might tumble into the ocean, potentially triggering a tsunami similar to the catastrophic event following the 1871 eruption.

According to Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency, evacuees will be relocated to Manado, the closest city on Sulawesi island, which is six hours away by boat.

Back in 2018, the eruption of Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano triggered a tsunami along the coasts of Sumatra and Java when parts of the mountain collapsed into the ocean, resulting in the tragic loss of 430 lives.

As Americans Struggle Just To Survive, Illegals Invaders Being Handed The Keys To The Kingdom - Free Food, Medical, Apartments, Prepaid Debit Cards, And Stealing Homes AKA Squatting

By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline April 17, 2024

It is bad enough that Joe Biden openly encouraged a full-scale invasion of America by literally telling telling foreigners to "surge to the border," when he was just a candidate for president, but once his regime took control they facilitated said "surge."

“I would in fact make sure that there is, that we immediately surge to the border — all those people are seeking asylum. They deserve to be heard,” Biden said. “That’s who we are. We’re a nation that says, ‘If you want to flee and you’re fleeing oppression, you should come.'”

For those that doubt Biden said that, we have video.

Millions of illegals have been released into the U.S. since Biden began occupying the White House, and we have written about the increase of Chinese military-aged men, along with a significant number of people on the terrorist watchlist being caught, leaving us to wonder how many of those terrorists came through without being detained.

So, with those reminders out of the way, and with more illegals being allowed to cross every single day, we see more evidence that illegal aliens, people who committed a crime as their first act in the U.S., simply by crossing the border anywhere but at the legal points of entries, are being handed the keys to the kingdom, while American citizens are struggling just to survive.

Starting with the most recent slap in the face to American citizens, we see that Democrat-controlled Denver, Colorado, just cut $8 million from the police departmentas part of another $45 million to help deal with the "skyrocketing" illegal alien problem.

A Democrat-controlled city announced $45 million in funding for programs to help deal with the skyrocketing number of migrant arrivals it is facing, resulting in over $8 million in budget cuts for the police department.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced last week a package of $45.9 million to fully fund programs for "newcomers" for 2024 and avoid worst-case scenarios projected by the city. That’s in addition to $44 million in spending already secured for the program through previous budget moves.

The latest official records about crime in Denver are for 2022, which shows the crime rate at 2.8 times greater than the U.S. average. It was higher than in 98.8% U.S. cities. The 2022 Denver crime rate rose by 11% compared to 2021.(Source)

Since the Biden regime's open border policies, illegal aliens in Denver has increased, and with that increase, crime has increased.

With a complete lack of logic and common sense, an increase of both crime and illegals, somehow justifies an $8 million budget cut from the very people out there fighting said crime.

In what alternative universe does that make sense?

In the meantime, Denver is clearing out another homeless encampment, without providing any shelter for them, as Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston had promised.

Why? I am so glad you asked.

What they're saying: "This is not what we want to be doing," Cole Chandler, the mayor's senior adviser for homelessness, tells us. But he says the city didn't have enough vacant rooms at its eight sheltering sites to accommodate the more than 130 people living in the encampment.

The reason there is no room at the shelters, is because they are full of illegal immigrants!!!

According to the Associated Press "Denver’s new program will place asylum seekers in apartments for up to six months, provide job and skill training, opportunities to get certifications and unpaid work experience, food assistance and help with asylum applications."

Moving along....

ILLEGALS STEALING HOMES AKA SQUATTING......

Many were horrified in mid-March after seeing images of a woman, a homeowner, put into handcuffs by police, for attempting to remove "squatters." Squatters are people that "squat" in other peoples' homes.

Fed-up homeowner arrested after tense standoff with squatters ‘stealing’ $1M house she inherited from parents

A New York City property owner recently ended up in handcuffs following a fiery standoff with alleged squatters who she has been trying to boot from her family’s home, tense footage shows.

Adele Andaloro, 47, was nabbed after changing the locks last month on the $1 million home in Flushing, Queens, that she says she inherited from her parents when they died, ABC’s Eyewitness News reported.

In New York City, a person can claim “squatter’s rights” after just 30 days of living at a property.

Now, if someone is illegally in your home, and illegal aliens are doing this with increased frequency, one should be able to shoot them on sight. One should be able to protect their homes, right?

According to a recent Newsweek article, homeowners are the ones being warned to not take "lethal" action, because the homeowner, not the illegal that is illegally trespassing, with be charged. and if lethal force is used, the homeowner can be charged with murder.

Of course that depends on whether it is a state run by Democrats or one run by Republicans, as Texas Governor Greg Abbott says "The Texas Castle Doctrine empowers Texans to use force to defend themselves & their property."

Just one more reason why conservatives, who believe in property rights, should be living in states run by Republicans that also believe in property rights.

Leave Democrats that vote for politicians that allow the theft of ones home, to the states that favors squatters over American homeowners.

AMERICANS STRUGGLE, ILLEGALS HANDED KEYS TO THE KINGDOM....

In New York, aside from the benefits illegals get from the federal government, state officials have started handing out prepaid debit cards to illegal aliens.

We at ANP have reported extensively on how the price of food, and other items, is causing Americans to struggle to eat and pay their bills, yet illegals just have to cross the border, and make their way to a state that offers them freebies, and they are eating and surviving with less of a struggle than Americans born and bred in the good ole U.S of A.

This is a $150 billion a year problem, and that is a conservative estimate.

The FAIR study, released in March last year, documented the financial toll of illegal immigration on the U.S., taking into account factors like emergency medical care, incarcerating illegal aliens in local jails, and federal budgets that pay out billions in welfare every year, pegging the net annual cost at $150.7 billion.

More:

To contextualize the number, the $150.7 billion spent on illegal immigration last year is more than the total gross domestic product (GDP) of Mississippi ($146.7 billion in 2023), New Mexico ($131.5 billion), Idaho ($119.8 billion), and is more than the GDP's Wyoming and Vermont combined, at $50.74 billion and $43.38 billion, respectively.

Just imagine how much easier it would be on American citizens, if they could keep that $150 billion in their own pockets.

Powerful 6.3-magnitude earthquake strikes off Japan four months after devastating tremors left at least 245 dead

A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck off southwestern Japan late on Wednesday

The country is still reeling from a devastating 7.6-magnitude quake on January 1

By James Reynolds

Published: 11:49 EDT, 17 April 2024 | Updated: 14:48 EDT, 17 April 2024

A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck off southwestern Japan late Wednesday the US Geological Survey has said, without detailing the extent of damage.

The epicentre was pinpointed to a channel between the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku, about 11 miles west of Uwajima, at a depth of about 25 kilometres.

Some water pipes burst, but no major damage has been reported, local media said.

'In areas the jolt was strong, please don't approach any dangerous areas. There is no risk of tsunami caused by this earthquake,' the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) assured on social media platform X.

The powerful quake came four months after Japan was rocked by a devastating 7.6 magnitude event on New Year's Day, followed by as many as 1,200 aftershocks and linked to 245 deaths.

Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority said the Ikata nuclear power plant in the area was operating as normal in the wake of the April 17 quake.

'No abnormalities have been detected at the Ikata power plant... and the operation is continuing,' it said.

Government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi confirmed that there were no tsunami warnings or abnormalities at any power plants and that authorities were investigating what other damage may have occurred.

'We will do everything we can to respond,' Hayashi said.

He urged the public to be vigilant for aftershocks.

'I was about to go to bed when I felt the rumbling and knew a quake was coming. Then I felt the kind of jolt that I've never experienced in my life, and it kept shaking for 10 or 20 seconds,' a fisherman from the Ehime region told broadcaster NHK.

'I was a bit panicky,' he said, adding that some small objects fell over in his house, although there was no major damage.

Sitting on top of four major tectonic plates along the western edge of the Pacific 'Ring of Fire', Japan is one of the world's most tectonically active countries.

The archipelago, home to around 125 million people, experiences around 1,500 jolts every year.

The vast majority are mild, and even larger quakes usually cause little damage.

Japan's biggest quake on record was a massive 9.0-magnitude undersea jolt in March 2011 off its northeast coast, which triggered a tsunami that left around 18,500 people dead or missing.

The 2011 catastrophe also sent three reactors into meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant, causing Japan's worst post-war disaster and the most serious nuclear accident since Chernobyl.

Despite stricter building guidelines, many structures, particularly outside major cities, are old and vulnerable.

This was brought home in the 7.5-magnitude quake on January 1 this year that hit Noto Peninsula and killed more than 230 people, many of them when older buildings collapsed.

On April 3, a 7.4-magnitude struck Taiwan, killing 16 people and leaving more than 1,100 people injured, with strict building codes and widespread disaster readiness credited with averting a bigger catastrophe.

New NASA Mars Crew Has a Muslim, No White People

“To reach out to the Muslim world… to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.”

April 17, 2024 by Daniel Greenfield 75 Comments

There’s the Right Stuff (pictured above) and the Woke Stuff. NASA no longer has the right stuff, so all it’s got is the DEI stuff.

Remember this?

In July 2010, NASA chief Charles Bolden, an Obama appointee, told Al Jazeera that his boss had given him three priorities… none of them involving space exploration. The foremost priority for the agency once tasked with sending a man to the moon was “to reach out to the Muslim world… to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.”

How many of you remember Obama’s “Muslim List”?

The Muslim list included two alternative candidates for NASA administrator. One of them, Dr. Charles Elachi of JPL was dismissed as “possibly Christian.” Indeed Elachi, who grew up admiring John Wayne and believes that American success is possible because it isn’t “held back by the long-standing, ingrained systems and beliefs found in the Middle East” would have been a rather poor fit.

The other name on the list however is Firouz Naderi, an Iranian board member of the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans which advocated in support of the Iran nuke sellout.

While Trump threw out some of this stuff, under Biden NASA is fully woke and going where no one has gone before or ever wanted to go before.

Victor Glover, the black mission pilot, who had been working on Senator John McCain’s staff when he was selected as a NASA astronaut candidate, is preparing for his mission by listening to Gil Scott-Heron’s racist rant ‘Whitey on the Moon’ “twice a week on the way to work.”

NASA has a team that will update everything for the lunatic’s “current genders, names and pronouns” (which may or may not change on a biweekly basis) and then deploy a “workplace gender transition plan” that is only a little less complicated than the original moon landings.

“When I first came out, I did not come out as nonbinary at work. I wasn’t sure that people would accept that, so I came out as transmasculine and am only recently being completely authentic about it, like, ‘Actually, I’m nonbinary, and my pronouns are they/them,’” Mars “research scientist” Silas J. Ralston explains in a special NASA feature.

Now the four-person crew for the “virtual” mission to Mars has been unveiled and they carefully screened out the white people.

There is a Muslim crewmember though.

NASA has selected a new crew of four volunteers to participate in a simulated mission to Mars within a habitat at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Jason Lee, Stephanie Navarro, Shareef Al Romaithi, and Piyumi Wijesekara will step into the agency’s Human Exploration Research Analog, or HERA, on Friday, May 10. Once inside, the team will live and work like astronauts for 45 days.

Or woke cosmonauts anyway. During this time they’ll accuse each other of hate speech and microaggression.

But who actually needs to go to Mars when we can explore new dimensions of diversity right here?

Just How Seriously is the Fed Losing the Fight against Inflation's Inferno?

It's a LOT hotter than the media told you in their cover stories!

David Haggith  Apr 17, 2024  ∙ Paid

On Saturday, Zero Hedge published an article by Jeffrey Tucker that laid out just how far off the media has been in all of its soothing spin that attempts to cool your perception of inflation:

For months and even years, the mainstream news has sought to spin terrible inflation news. It’s not so bad, it’s just transitional, it’s getting better, it’s not really a problem, and all your gloom about the value of the dollar is in your head. Truly, in the past fortnight, we have been inundated with articles suggesting that the public is dumb as rocks for thinking that inflation is still a problem.

And then all of a sudden months of denial left them in a place where, BOOM! it was bad overnight. Still, some have tried their best to splash a little quenching water on these flames, but it’s not working anymore. Others threw in the towel on the subterfuge and finally called the heat as it is:

It was so bad that not even the two most influential venues could deny it. The New York Times reported, “Inflation Stronger Than Expected.” The Wall Street Journal reported, “Hot Inflation Report Weakens Case for Fed’s June Rate Cut.” The accompanying editorial is even better: “The Inflation Thief Rises Again.”

Now that some venues, trusted beyond their merits, have stopped parroting the Fed’s new “it’s just a bump in the road” transitory inflation narrative, even the Fed has had to start admitting—in what appears to be getting close to unanimous consent—that it is losing the inflation fight so far this year. Today Papa Powell finally said the fight is not going well, allowing that there has been “a lack of further progress” this year, and he even confirmed this pushes rate cuts further off:

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Tuesday that the U.S. economy … has not seen inflation come back to the central bank’s goal, pointing to the further unlikelihood that interest rate cuts are in the offing anytime soon….

Powell said that while inflation continues to make its way lower, it hasn’t moved quickly enough, and the current state of policy should remain intact.

“More recent data shows solid growth and continued strength in the labor market, but also a lack of further progress so far this year on returning to our 2% inflation goal,” the Fed chief said during a panel talk.

Echoing recent statements by central bank officials, Powell indicated the current level of policy likely will stay in place until inflation gets closer to target….

“The recent data have clearly not given us greater confidence, and instead indicate that it’s likely to take longer than expected to achieve that confidence,” he said….

Powell added that until inflation shows more progress, “We can maintain the current level of restriction for as long as needed….”

Treasury yields rose as Powell spoke. The benchmark 2-year note, which is especially sensitive to Fed rate moves, briefly topped 5%, while the benchmark 10-year yield rose 3 basis points. The S&P 500 wavered after Powell’s remarks, briefly turning negative on the day before recovering.

Some of the other central-bank officials who made similar statements today were …

Federal Reserve Vice Chair Philip Jefferson …

who suggested Tuesday that the central bank’s key rate may have to remain at its peak for a while to bring down persistently elevated inflation…. He said his outlook is that inflation will cool even with the Fed’s key rate “held steady at its current level….”

Jefferson’s remarks appeared to open the door to the prospect that the Fed will dial back its forecast, issued at its most recent policy meeting in March, that it would carry out three quarter-point cuts this year to its benchmark rate, which stands at about 5.3%….

In his speech Tuesday, Jefferson said the Fed estimates that its preferred inflation gauge, which will be reported next week, rose in March, to 2.7% from a year earlier, up from 2.5% in February. Such an increase would echo a rise in the more widely followed consumer price index, which rose to 3.5% in March, from 3.2%.

and …

The Fed’s Daly who noted today …

The economy growing at a solid rate, the labor market is still strong, and inflation is above target.. Worst thing to do is act urgently when urgency isn't necessary.

The spinners’ gotta spin

As, in don’t act to lower rates at all when you don’t need to. The credit rating service, Moody’s, even chimed in today to say that current data clouds the rate-cut picture that markets have in mind. They now see the June cut that the stock market has switched to betting on as unlikely.

U.S. inflation is expected to retreat eventually, but the recent upside surprise in U.S. inflation data could delay monetary policy easing, says Moody’s Investors Service….

The latest robust reading adds to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of U.S. rate cuts. The rating agency said there is unlikely to be be enough evidence of declining inflation before the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s mid-June meeting to enable it to begin reducing rates.

Let me say it more plainly for them: “The June rate cut is also now as good as long gone.”

Markets had previously targeted mid-year as the likely starting point for U.S. rate cuts.

That was, of course, after they had previously targeted March as their solid position for the starting point of US rate cuts. So, they don’t know much.

“Disinflationary progress has slowed since the start of the year, but it is too early to conclude that it has stalled or reversed,” Moody’s said.

Really? Not according to Papa Powell, who seems to have found several ways of saying it has stalled. (See the many elements from his comments in boldface above.) I don’t know how anyone, especially Moody’s, can say with a straight face that the Fed’s fight hasn’t stalled? Seriously? Look at the FACTS (even as presented by the Fed);

You don’t get much more stalled than that! Good grief, people are thick when it comes to admitting the more-than-obvious truth. And notice the stall goes right back to the first uptick in July where I notified my readers that inflation had just put in a turn that would last (when the media was NOWHERE near saying such a thing). From that date on, I tracked the stall throughout those months, pointing out “still stalling.” Even “rising.” To this day, some like Moody’s, even when they are writing about disinflation slowing down, cannot bring themselves to admit that it isn’t just slowing down. It’ has STOPPED! ZERO PROGRESS FOR NINE MONTHS!

Yet, the picture is actually far worse than a mere stall, as I’ll lay out below, due to how the numbers have been manipulated.

While Moody’s expressed irrational belief that inflation will eventually start to cool again this year, I don’t see it that way any more than I see ANY way of saying, based on the clear facts above (and below), that inflation hasn’t stalled. Oil is certainly rising, which will continue to contribute a lot to inflation’s rise directly and over time a lot more indirectly. Even if Israel doesn’t make a harsh reprisal to Iran’s first-ever direct attack from its own borders into Israel’s (far from a sure bet), Iran may very well respond to whatever Israel does do, as Iran has stated it will do in the news today much more quickly than it last response and using “weapons it has never used before,” which will press Israel to do a lot more. (See headlines below.)

It seems an obviously terrible bet to lay against those odds the claim that inflation will cool! I don’t think either Iran or Israel is going to cool off under the collar anytime soon. So, how is inflation going to cool with Middle East oil on fire and shipping routes closed by terrorists, driven, funded, and weaponized by super-heated Iran? If Iran doesn’t directly attack Israel again out of fear of a much harsher response from Israel and its allies, it will certainly find ways to attack more fiercely through its multiple proxy wars, such has hitting the Red Sea harder to hurt the West and pushing the Hezbollah and Syrian gangs to do more. There is almost zero chance at present of the Middle East cooling down. It’s only a question of how much hotter that hell gets.

Inflation much hotter than reported!

There are a few things I should note from the earlier inflation reports that I was going to highlight in my last Deeper Dive, which I’ll lay out now as they are way to important to let them slide by, even as a Middle-Eastern raging war has taken over the news:

One is that, as hot as inflation was in the last PPI report, it would have been worse if not for massive “seasonal adjustments.” The devil is in details, and I would question how much the details were seasonally adjusted to look a lot less bad than the raw numbers. The details were adjusted far more than they were in other March’s, so why was this March so unseasonably seasonable when compared to other reports from the same season (going off the five years before the pandemic as the days when things were normal)? How convenient for Biden that there was so much unstated justification for adjusting the degrees of inflation down so much more than in other Marches! It seems he’s getting a little extra mileage out of Covid. Maybe the economy has long Covid.

In fact, if you smooth things out over three months, the smoothened numbers look worse than the raw numbers:

Wolf Street

And, if you take out the seasonal adjustments, they look worse still:

Wolf Street

Second, the ALL of the three-month rates (to smooth out the “bumpiness” Powell originally used as his new “transitory” non-starter) jumped higher, meaning the smoothed January report and the smoothened February report and the smoothened March report, all jumped higher. So, you can’t even smoothen out those bumps when you try by spreading them across three month averages.

Core CPI, which the Fed prefers, also looked much worse, even with the adjustments:

There is no way to make that pig look good with a little more lipstick because the pig is roasting on a spit in hell! Even seasonal fashion lipstick can’t do the trick because it melts off faster than you can apply it. And both services and goods were way back up over the first three months of this year. UP, not just stalled! So, all elements of inflation are doing worse, and the Middle East heat assures a greater inferno to come. You can believe in Moody’s fact-free, fantasy cooling period if you want to; or you can believe in the obvious reality raging as an inferno all around us. Who has steered you right so far?

So, welcome to Fed hell, prepared in advance for us all!

(If you missed my article on the eclipse and the new war between Israel and Iran—more dangerous than any others in the Middle East in decades—and you’re interested in apocalyptic stuff, you can find it here: “The Apoceclipse: We Survived! ... or did we?”)

Still Poking the Bear: F-16's from Netherlands Arrive in Romania - for Ukraine pilots!

Hal Turner World 17 April 2024 Hits: 12669

Three Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons landed at the Romanian 86th Air Base Lieutenant-Aviator Gheorghe Mociornita in Borce (Calarasi County).

The jets will be used to train, and then used by, Ukrainian pilots.

There are no air fields remaining inside Ukraine which can accommodate the F-16's. The runways are too bumpy from Russian attacks. There is almost no fuel supply, and no weapons storage remaining at most bases.

So if these F-16's are going to be used in combat by Ukraine, it __appears__ they will have to take-off from, then return to, bases in Romania, in order to be refueled, re-armed and maintained.

If that takes place . . . . if Ukrainian pilots takeoff from a foreign base, and attack Russian forces in Ukraine, then return to that foreign base for refueling, re-arming and maintenance, then Russia has made clear THAT FOREIGN BASE will become a legitimate military target.

Each and every day, the collective west moves closer and closer to direct confrontation with Russia.

They are doing this despite Russia having increased its military industrial production by fifteen times (15x) and by doing so, now out-produced the total, combined production of the West by seven times.

Moreover, not only is Russia's production 7 times that of the west, the stockpiles of weapons and ammunition in the West have been either seriously depleted or wiped-out altogether, by supplying Ukraine. So the West has almost nothing to fall back on as far as reserve ammunition.

Yet the West continues to escalate the Russia-Ukraine conflict - in complete denial they are heading down the road to direct war and thereby, their own annihilation.

Readers in Europe and in the United States are reminded that if direct warfare breaks out between Russia and NATO, countries in Europe, and sites within the continental United States can - and likely will - come under Russian missile attack.

Are you ready to see parts of your country blowing up? Because that may be where this is heading.

I urge readers in the US and in Europe to have emergency food, water, medicines, first-aid kit, flashlights for each member of your family or each room of your house, with spare batteries for those flashlights. Have communications gear like Citizen's Band (CD) or a HAM radio for local communications. If we get hit, it is almost guaranteed that communications systems, phone landlines, cellular, fax, the Internet and email will all go offline. You really should have a way to communicate with neighbors and to hear global news via shortwave. So get a portable AM/FM/Shortwave radio with spare batteries so you can get information.

Have a generator with spare fuel to keep your refrigerator running, and maybe power a light or two in the house. DO NOT OPERATE A GENERATOR INDOORS; their gas-powered engines give off carbon monoxide gas which will KILL YOU if it is inside your house. Generators must only be run outside.

Have extra fuel for the generator, because when the SHTF, those who did not prepare by getting supplies in advance, will find themselves standing on mile-long gas lines trying to get fuel. Then the gas stations will start running out, and you'll be left with nothing.

GET CASH MONEY. Have some cash money stashed in the house. If the SHTF, communications lines will likely go down and there won't be any way to authorize your credit or debit cards to buy anything. Cash will be king. If you don't have any when the SHTF, you won't have any hope of buying what you need to survive.

DON'T WAIT. Get supplies now. If you wait, you'll be "shit outta luck (SOL)."

There is still some small window of time for you to begin accumulating these emergency prep supplies. If you wait, until the bombs actually start hitting, you'll find yourself out of time and out of luck because every schmuck in the country who ALSO waited, will all be headed out to the stores for supplies. They will strip store shelves bare. Gas stations will run empty and you will find yourself with nothing. No food. No water. No medicine. No electricity, No communications, and no money.

Iran Hit Secret Israeli Intel Base at Golan Heights! Smashed by Missile Attack

Hal Turner World April 15, 2024 Hits: 7816

The Israeli government is furious over one of the targets struck by the Iran missile attack two nights ago. That attack utterly smashed a secret Israeli Intelligence Base - Pictured above, in the Golan Heights.

According to Israeli sources, the heaviest damage that was inflicted on the Israeli government during Iran's retaliatory attack is the secret intelligence base in the north of the occupied Golan Heights located in Jabal al-Sheikh (Mount Hermon).

The importance and sensitivity of this place is such that the Israeli army imposed a complete media ban for this area and everything is censored and no damage assessment and public announcement is allowed.

This intelligence base played a role in the recent Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus, and in general, in recent years, it has played a very important and prominent role in intelligence operations against Syria and Iran.

The base is now smashed.

Russia Hits FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION TROOPS in Ukraine

Hal Turner World April 15, 2024 Hits: 8294

On April 13, this website reported the arrival of French Foreign Legion troops into Slavyansk, Ukraine. Overnight, those troops were hit and mostly killed by the Russian Army.

The original story from April 13 appears HERE

The French military brought the CAESAR self-propelled gun to Slavyansk

According to the Military Chronicle, the brigade artillery group consists of 12 to 15 wheeled howitzers, as well as several Renault trucks with auxiliary equipment. According to preliminary information, the equipment was transferred for storage to the Starokramatorsky Machine-Building Plant from Dnepropetrovsk.

In Slavyansk itself, in the area of ​​clay quarries, as well as to the south (in the Cherevkovka area), firing positions have already been prepared for these guns: a road has been rolled out and ammunition supply routes have been equipped.

Most likely, we are talking about the potential use of the French CAESAR for barrage fire in the event of an attack by the Russian Armed Forces on Slavyansk, but we cannot exclude the use of this technology in the defense of Chasov Yar and its likely transfer to units of the 54th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (as well as the direct participation of the French within this division.)

When firing extended-range projectiles with a bottom gas generator from the Belenkoye area (between Kramatorsk and Slavyansk), the entire eastern part of Chasov Yar, including the western part of Bogdanovka and the entry point of Russian troops in the area of ​​vocational school No . 77 in the Kanal microdistrict, may be in the CAESAR destruction zone.

Those French troops and their CAESAR artillery were demolished overnight by the Russian Army.

Russia had previously warned NATO countries that if they sent troops into Ukraine, those troops would become legitimate targets. Now, Russia has made good on its word (again) and a slew of French Foreign Legion troops are now dead.

Syracuse police officer and a deputy killed in shooting in Salina

Updated: Apr. 15, 2024, 8:13 a.m.|Published: Apr. 14, 2024, 9:30 p.m.

Syracuse, N.Y. — Two police officers were killed Sunday night in a shootout on a suburban street in Salina.

A Syracuse police officer and an Onondaga County sheriff’s deputy were both killed when they went to follow up on a traffic stop where the driver sped away, said Syracuse Police Chief Joe Cecile.

The officers were not identified.

The trouble started with a traffic stop at 7 p.m. in the city’s Tipp Hill neighborhood, Cecile said. That’s when Syracuse police tried to pull over a car, but the driver refused and sped off. Police took the plate number, which led them to a home on Darien Drive, a short street with tidy lawns and basketball hoops in the driveways.

There, police saw guns in the back of the car, Cecile said. And then, from inside the home, they heard the sound of a gun being readied to fire, he said.

Gunfire filled the little neighborhood as the officers and the suspect exchanged shots. The two officers and the suspect were all hit. The suspect also was killed, Cecile said. He did not identify the man.

“This is our worst nightmare come true,” said Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh. “Our thoughts right now are with the families of those two officers, those heroes.”

Police gave some details about the two officers who were killed. The Syracuse officer had three years on the force. He was ambitious and hard-working, Cecile said.

The deputy had been with the department for a considerable time. “He was just a great guy,” said Onondaga County Sheriff Toby Shelley.

Shelley said the house, at 4945 Darien Dr., had been secured and there is no threat to the neighborhood, but that police were still going through the scene just after midnight.

“It’s just a very sad day for law enforcement,” Shelley said.

He and the others spoke at midnight down the hill from the emergency room in front of the Wallie Howard Forensic Center. That’s where the officers’ bodies had been brought for autopsies.

Howard, the officer for whom the center is named, was the last officer shot and killed in the line of duty in Onondaga County. That was more than 30 years ago.

That streak was broken with what seemed to be such a routine call:

“We’re chasing cars every day,” Shelley said. “Every day ...”

One of the officers who responded to the scene reported seeing AR-style magazines in the back of a car, and sounds of “racking” coming from a house, according to 911 center dispatches.

An officer down call went out at 8:51 p.m.

After the shootings, police from multiple agencies swarmed the area on Darien Drive.

Shortly after 9 p.m. a vehicle was rushing a person to Upstate University Hospital, according to 911 center dispatches. Police were rushing to shut down an Interstate 81 ramp to clear the way for the vehicle.

One dispatch from the 911 center described the call as a mass casualty incident. That would indicate three or more victims. Multiple ambulances were dispatched to the area.

A sheriff’s deputy responded to a home at 4945 Darien Drive around 8:20 p.m. to assist Syracuse police, according to 911 center dispatches.

Witness: At least 20 shots fired

Mousa Alzokari, who lives directly across the street from the house where the shooting occurred, said he heard a flurry of shots at about 8:45 p.m. He called 911.

Not long after, two officers with long guns entered the back door of Alzokari’s house without knocking and went up to the second floor, where they took positions facing the shooting scene. They were still there as of 11:20 p.m., while Alzokari and five children waited on the ground floor.

Altogether, Alzokari estimated he heard at least 20 shots fired. The two officers in his house did not fire shots, he said.

At one point, Alzokari said, he saw an officer being carried to a sheriff’s vehicle and driven away. He also saw at least one person placed in handcuffs. But police continued to surround the house, leading Alzokari to believe a suspect remained inside.

Alzokari, who has lived on Darien Drive for about four years, said it’s normally a quiet street.

“The kids are scared and shaken now,” he said.

Brian Fagan, 49, heard a car ripping around the corner of Larkin Street and North Woodland Drive around 8:30 p.m. Sunday. The vehicle flew past his home with five deputy police cruisers following behind, he said.

Fagan heard tires screech as the vehicles came to a stop at the intersection of North Woodland Drive and Oakland Terrace. Then four to five gunshots went off, he said.

Ambulances, the Liverpool Fire Department and city, state and county officers rushed to the scene, Fagan said. Air 1, the sheriff’s helicopter, hovered overhead for two hours, he said.

It all happened within a matter of 20 minutes.

“I’m looking out my window now and there’s probably 30 to 40 state troopers and sheriff’s up my street,” he said.

Just after 9 p.m., the county 911 system alerted those in the neighborhood to shelter in place, according to Fagan. He doesn’t normally pick up his home phone, but with all the traffic and everything going on, he needed to answer it.

A silent procession

At about 10:45 p.m., a dozen police cars were parked on both sides of East Adams Street near Upstate hospital. There were about two dozen city police and sheriff’s deputies near the door to the emergency room.

By midnight, 100 men and women stood shoulder to shoulder from the emergency room door all the way down East Adams Street. Some were in uniform; others were wearing whatever they had on when they heard the news and rushed over.

No one spoke. The only sound was Air 1 flying overhead.

The line snapped wordlessly to attention as the officers’ bodies were loaded into the white vans that would carry them from the hospital to the crime lab.

A silent procession of police cars followed behind the vans. The streets around the hospital were blocked off. So many firetrucks and police cars came that all the side streets were full of flashing lights, too.

From far away, the hill glowed red and blue.

The Explosion Of Mental Illness In America: 'It Is No Measure Of Health To Be Well Adjusted To A Profoundly Sick Society' - Psychopaths Rule Over America And The Western World

- America & The West Have Become The Laughing Stock Of The World

By Stefan Stanford - Live Free Or Die - All News Pipeline April 14, 2024

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" J. Krishnamurti

In this new story over at the Epoch Times they report that at least 20 REAL women have withdrawn from their soccer team over at the Syndey, Australia based league to allow men (pretending in their absolutely WARPED 'transgender' minds to be REAL women!) to compete against REAL women due to the very REAL potential of the REAL WOMEN, playing against men, getting hurt in those games.

Reporting that the 'team' calling itself the “biggest LGBTQIA+ women’s and non-binary football club in the world,” the Flying Bats FC, had made international headlines for using on their 'team' at least 5 self-identifying transgender players, with at least nine transgender players in the wider NorthWest Association, I still remember growing up in the 1960's and 1970's when the 'women's rights movement' was exploding in American streets, seeking 'equal rights and opportunities and greater personal freedom for women,' though if you look out into the world today, many aspects of that 'movement' have been crushed and destroyed by allowing REAL MEN to compete in pro sports against women.

With all of those 'trannies' allowing the Flying Bats to utterly dominate their four-week pre-season Beryl Ackroyd Cup, which followed an undefeated season in 2023 that produced score lines disproportionate to other teams’ results, that story is a perfect example of what we're witnessing right now in this March 26th of 2023 story by James Corbett over at The Corbett Report substack about America and the Western World's Dissent Into Madness and the world that they're driven to bring on to the rest of us, a world full of projections by psychopaths, especially with psychopaths that now largely rule over the Western world.

And while league officials in Australia are planning on officially punishing the teams that decide upon leaving REAL WOMEN out of their games, thus forfeiting those games rather than risk bringing harm to their REAL WOMEN players by forcing them to go up against REAL MEN PRETENDING TO BE WOMEN, it baffles us beyond belief that so many leftist women have sacrificed those rights that so many of them fought so diligently for back in 60's and 70's, while quite literally sacrificing the safety, health and well-being of their daughters to the beast of insanity.

And not only 'liberal' women are sacrificing with the school systems all across the country going absolutely crazy with this idiocy as well, sure to adversely effect the children of Conservatives. Is this REALLY what America and 'The West' have come to, the laughing stock of the world?

(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)

As this story over at Yahoo Sports reports of the 'Flying (Batsh*t crazy) 'Bats' in Australia back on March 28th, while 'winning' the Beryl Ackroyd Cup in the WOMEN'S league there, they 'won' all four of the games that they played there, including one by a score of 10-0 in which one of those 'tranny' players scored a double hat trick, all of the while they broke one opponents legs in two different places.

Reporting that any team within that competition who actually forfeited a game against them would be guilty of 'discrimination,' the Flying Bats ended up going on winning the $1,000 first prize in that tournament after 24 of the REAL WOMEN players in the 'league' decided not to compete in a tournament against REAL MEN PRETENDING TO BE WOMEN due to the possibility of injuries, and just imagine HOW MANY MORE OF THEM would have been hurt had they gone through with it!

And while America's insane Commander In Chief helped prove his insanity by declaring upon Easter that it would be the 'Transgender Day of Visibility,' he never once acknowledged those REAL WOMEN's RIGHTS that were fought for so hard back in the 60's and 70's and won, instead deciding to take away the RIGHTS of some REAL WOMEN by forcing them to partake in sports often dominated by REAL MEN, putting them at very real risk of very real physical harm, but Biden clearly doesn't care about that possibility.

And while we completely agree with what has been expressed by some of the women's teams in that Australian 'football league,' that the league’s governing body, the Football NSW, should force the Bats into playing in a mixed-sex league because, as one club official told the Daily Telegraph, “Our girls are here to play for fun and expect to play in the female competition. They did not sign up for a mixed competition, the POTUS of the 'Flying Bats' nonetheless claims that 'trannies' deserve to be in the women's league because, insanely, 'that is who they identify as'. Well what about those REAL WOMEN who are getting KILLED by the MEN PRETENDING TO BE WOMEN?

"It was so disheartening for them to see the huge difference in ability—they’re killing it.”

The involvement of transgender athletes in sports is a current hot-button issue, as policymakers grapple with how to balance the effects on women’s players, versus the “rights” of female-identifying players born as biological men.

Advocates argue that transgender individuals should be able to participate in sports according to their gender identity, while opponents raise concerns about fairness and competitive advantage.

One of the key points of contention is the impact of testosterone levels on athletic performance. Testosterone affects muscle mass, strength, and endurance, and transgender males who have undergone hormone therapy to transition may still have higher testosterone levels than cisgender females, providing a competitive advantage in women’s sports.

With myself a wrestler back in my school days, I NEVER would have thought wrestling against REAL WOMEN would have been 'fair' as it certainly would have given me an unfair advantage over almost whoever they were, and never were REAL MEN permitted to wrestle against REAL WOMEN no matter what weight class they were in. Does that even sound the least bit 'fair'?

And as James Corbett reports in this March 26th of 2023 story, we're witnessing nothing less than "Dissent Into Madness" taking place with our "projections of psychopaths" here in the US and most of the Western world in 2024.

With Corbett very accurately pointing out that conspiracy theorizing is being pathologized as a mental disorder and how this false diagnosis is being used to justify the forced psychiatric detention and medication of 9/11 truthers and COVID dissenters, also take note in the passage ahead how this 'psychological weapon' is now being wielded against any would-be dissenters WHILE those 'in charge' are themselves driven by a psychopathological disorder. Yes, the batsh*t crazy are 'running the show' in America and the west. From that crucial story.:

Being Sane In An Insane Society

If you are reading this column, chances are you're already aware of just how insane our society can be.

Maybe you first realized something was deeply wrong with our world when you noticed the discrepancy between what most people actually believe—that JFK was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy, for example—and what you're expected to say in "polite" society—namely, that the Warren Commission got to the bottom of the matter and that anyone who questions its findings is a crazy conspiracy theorist.

Or perhaps the penny dropped when you heard ex-US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright blithely declare on 60 Minutes that the death of half a million Iraqi children in the State Department's campaign against Saddam Hussein was "worth it."

Or maybe you, like many millions of others around the world, began to question the sanity of our society when you saw the madness of the past three years, with governments locking people in their homes and subjecting the poorest among us to starvation and forcing never-before-used medical interventions on billions of people in the name of "public health."

I, too, have had my own such moments of awareness. And, feeling the frustration that comes from realizing just how sick and twisted the world can be, I am often reminded of Jiddu Krishnamurti's famous observation: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

But I've also found that you get used to the insanity of this sick society after a while. In fact, you come to expect it.

Of course politicians are always lying to the public.

Of course those in positions of power wouldn't think twice about killing thousands of their fellow citizens—let alone untold millions in the Middle East—in order to achieve their goals.

Of course they'll cook up a phoney scamdemic to usher in their biosecurity state and of course it has nothing to do with keeping people healthy.

In fact, once you've seen through the lies and realized just how profoundly sick our society has become, it turns out that it's not the big things that shock you anymore. It's the little things.

And while Corbett's excellent column goes on and on about 'the little things' in society today that are maddening, and I'll skip those so that you can visit his website and get more deeply into the meat of his piece if you so choose, I'll close here with one of his story segment conclusions about 'a sign' about 'Sustainable Development Goals' that he has seen in Japan. And guess where that sign was? Of ALL places, it was over a urinal. Has it come to a point in time where we have to think about 'global warming' when we're going to the bathroom?:

Meanwhile, I have been watching with consternation as the SDGs have begun intruding more and more into everyday life here in Japan. It's not at all unusual to see a product ad displaying the characteristic coloured boxes indicating which SDG (or SDGs) that product is supposedly promoting (however tenuously), or to see lapel pins sporting the rainbow circle of the SDG logo, now a common accoutrement on the suits of Japanese salarymen.

But to see an SDG here? On a sign over a urinal? Is there truly nowhere we can go where we're not subjected to this 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Enslavement propaganda and all of the Great Reset/Fourth Industrial Revolution/neo-feudal/transhuman nightmare it invokes?

Perhaps the strangest part of all is that if I were to point out this insanity to the average person here, they would look at me as if I were the crazy one. And if I were to back up my viewpoint with the volumes of documented information about the perverse nature of this UN-fronted globalist agenda—the information contained in numerous documentaries and podcasts and interviews and articles on the subject—I would doubtless appear even crazier.

"What's the big deal? It's just a sign."

As it turns out, the sign is indeed a sign. A sign that our society is in fact suffering from the effects of a mental illness.

Russia Deploys Frigate with Hypersonic Missiles into Mediterranean Sea

Hal Turner World April 14, 2024 Hits: 16486

After Russian President Vladimir Putin told the United States that intervening against Iran would result in Russia intervening to support Iran, a Russian frigate with hypersonic missiles entered the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

A Russian frigate equipped with hypersonic missiles entered the waters of the Mediterranean Sea this Sunday after crossing the Suez Canal, after which Moscow stated that the vessel "will fulfill its assigned tasks", without further details.

The frigate Marshall Shaposhnikov transited the Suez Canal. "The ship's crew continues to carry out their assigned tasks as part of their long sea journey" the Russian Ministry of Defense said this morning.

"In the Mediterranean Sea, the Pacific Fleet frigate will operate in line with the previously planned combat and training line." the Ministry continued.

At the moment, there are no further details about this plan, or how long the frigate will remain near the Israeli-Iran conflict zone.

Half of Iran's ballistic missiles fell short en route to Israel, report says

Several nations urge Israel to avoid escalation, though Israeli officials contend attack warrants a response

ynet correspondents|12:53

Only half of the ballistic missiles Iran fired on Israel during its unprecedented attack against the Jewish state on Saturday were intercepted while the rest fell short, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

According to the report, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates shared intelligence with the United States that helped facilitate the successful interception of many missiles and drones while Jordan allowed the U.S. to use its airspace to shoot down incoming threats.

A senior U.S. source told ABC that some of Iran's ballistic missiles caused some damage to a C-130 military transport aircraft and some empty storage depots at the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel.

U.S. President Joe Biden spoke to members of the 335th and 494th fighter squadrons that took an active role in intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles, saying their activity "saved many lives."

The New York Times reported that U.S. efforts helped intercept over 80 drones and at least six ballistic missiles. Additionally, U.S. forces attacked a missile launcher and seven drones in Houthi-controlled Yemen.

While Israeli officials are still contemplating a forceful response to Iran's assault, Iranian Ambassador to the UN Saeed Iravani told Sky News he "knows what our second retaliation would be." Iravani further estimated Israel would not initiate a retaliatory move in response to Saturday's attack.

France, the United Kingdom and Germany have called on Israel to refrain from striking Iran for fear of possibly igniting a regional conflict. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on Israel to "prevent an escalation."

French President Emmanuel Macron said "we are all concerned about a possible escalation. France will do all it can to prevent it and convince Israel there's no need to retaliate. Things are on shaky ground right now. Iran's response to Israel's attack in Damascus was disproportionate. We must stand by Israel to secure its national defense in the best way possible. In light of Jordan's request, France intercepted attacks from Iran."

UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said Iran's attack was "disproportionate", and implored Israel to refrain from responding and instead focus its efforts on ceasing all hostilities in Gaza.

Iran's attack on Israel lasted about five hours, officials say. Here's what we know

From CNN staff

The unprecedented wave of strikes launched from Iran towards Israel appears to have subsided, two US officials said. The attacks lasted approximately five hours and plunged the already tinder box Middle East into uncharted territory.

Iran said the overnight attacks were retaliation for a deadly Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, earlier this month.

The Biden administration says almost all of the drones and missiles – including more than 100 ballistic missiles – launched at Israel by Iran have been knocked out of the sky.

US President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call that his country should consider tonight a win because the current US assessment is that Iran’s attacks had been largely unsuccessful and demonstrated Israel’s superior military capability, a senior administration official told CNN.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has asked his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant, to notify the US ahead of any potential response to the Iranian attack, according to a US official. The Israeli security cabinet has authorized the three-man war cabinet to decide on Israel’s response.

Here's what we know so far:

No direct casualties: There have been no reports of injuries suffered directly through Iranian strikes, according to Israel’s emergency service. However, However, a 7-year-old girl was severely injured by shrapnel from an interceptor missile while 31 people were treated for minor injuries or panic attacks.

G7 leaders to meet: Biden will meet with G7 leaders Sunday “to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack,” according to a statement released by the White House. The leaders of Canada and Portugal condemned Iran's attack, while the prime minister of Spain expressed his “utmost concern."

No US offensive involvement: The US will not participate in any offensive operations against Iran, Biden has made clear to Netanyahu, a senior administration official told CNN.

How it started: Earlier this month, an airstrike destroyed Iran's consulate building in Damascus, Syria, and killed seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officials — including top commanders, according to Iranian officials and state-affiliated media. The foreign ministers of Iran and Syria accused Israel of authoring the attack. Iran vowed to retaliate.

More on Iran's position: Iran’s regional allies say they entered confrontations with Israel on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza, Since the outbreak of war in Gaza, Iran’s proxies have launched attacks on Israel and its allies, while demanding a ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave.

What this means: The beginning of a state-on-state conflict between Iran and Israel marks a serious escalation in the region – a scenario that the US has hoped to avoid since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October.

Israeli military says more than 55 rockets fired from Lebanon to Israel over past hour

More than 55 rockets have been fired from Lebanon to Israel over the past hour, according to the Israeli military's spokesperson.

This comes after about 40 rockets were fired at Israel from southern Lebanon on Friday, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Hezbollah militants said they had fired the rockets at Israeli artillery positions in response to recent Israeli attacks and in support of Palestinian people in Gaza.

Remember: Since the start of the Hamas-Israel war on October 7, Israel's flare-up with Hezbollah has intensified on Lebanon’s southern border with Israel.

Hezbollah — a Lebanese armed group backed by Iran — has its main area of operations there. Hezbollah has frequently fired missiles into Israel since October 7 and Israel has responded with its own fire, including airstrikes. Israel has ordered the evacuation of communities along the Lebanese border.

US forces throughout the region were positioned to provide defensive support to Israel ahead of the attack, and the US intended to intercept as many of the launches as it could. US forces intercepted a number of drones intended for Israel as part of a coordinated defensive effort, and Washington remains vigilant for the potential of more activity.

However, even as the number of Iranian drone and missile launches has fallen, Iranian proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon fired a barrage of rockets at northern Israel early Sunday mornin

Officials rush to shut down McKees Rocks Bridge after 23 barges break free in Pittsburgh - weeks after disaster that took down Key Bridge in Baltimore

McKees Rocks Police Department said just after midnight that they would be closing the bridge as a precaution

One local police scanner page said that an estimated 23 barges broke free down the river, with one striking a marina dock

It comes just weeks after a the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after being hit by a container ship

By Joe Hutchison For Dailymail.Com

Published: 00:55 EDT, 13 April 2024 | Updated: 01:37 EDT, 13 April 2024

Authorities have been forced to close down the McKees Rocks Bridge after 23 barges reportedly broke free from a tugboat on the Ohio River.

McKees Rocks Police Department said just after midnight that they would be closing the bridge as a precaution.

According to the department, there are currently a number of barges that have broken loose heading down the Ohio River.

One local police scanner page said that there were an estimated 23 barges going down the river, with one striking a marina dock.

In a statement, police said: 'There are number of barges broken loose headed down the Ohio River.

It comes just weeks after a the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after being hit by a container ship.

The ship - the Singaporean-flagged Dali - was 20 minutes into its journey when it slammed into a support column on the bridge.

Divers have recovered three bodies from the underwater wreckage, while the remaining three victims are still unaccounted for.

Crews have been working to extract sections of the fallen bridge, including those entangled in a muddy mess at the bottom of the Patapsco River.

The Coming Events – Iran & Ukraine

April 13, 2024  Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

The world is completely going insane. Markets have been rising with crude, gold, and the dollar in anticipation of an Iranian attack on Israel. The month of May looks to be very critical for markets on a global scale—no worries about our London Conference. We would not hold it in London if it appeared to be a risk. The risks are confined to Russia/Ukraine and the Middle East.

Putin is very Smart

We have a critical turning point on May 7th, which happens to be Putin’s inauguration day in Russia. The Ukrainians do as they are told, and even the Moscow attack was organized by the West, and they did not even try to hide it. They have been praying that Putin will retaliate and attack anything in NATO so they can launch WWIII. But Putin is very smart and he can see what they are trying to do. They need him to attack so they can claim it was unprovoked, as they did to Japan to get the USA into WWII. I fear that Ukraine will follow orders and attempt a stupid stunt against Putin directly for May 7th.

Zelenskyy Johnson

Many Ukrainians woke up after it was published in their main newspaper that Boris Johnson had jumped on a plane and instructed Zelensky that there would be no peace deal with Russia. He was to commit all Ukrainians to death in hopes of weakening Russia so NATO would be able to invade. Zelensky has sent over 500,000 Ukrainians to die for territory that Russians have occupied for hundreds of years. Crimea is Russia’s ONLY warm water port, and this war has been about trying to conquer that and turn it into a NATO port.

Zelensky.Skulls

This has no economic benefit to Ukrainians, and they have been used as pawns in the geopolitical game the West instigated under the leadership of Victoria Nuland. Zelensky has canceled all elections because the people would throw him out of office as a traitor taking orders from the West with no regard for Ukrainian lives.

ECM Ukraine 8.6 R

Ukraine is on the verge of collapse. Sending bullets does not help if you do not have people still standing to use them. We are approaching a critical turning point in the Ukraine War against Russia on April 19th/20th. There is no possible way Russia will be defeated. Nobody in the West ever thought Ukraine could win. Russia had 4.5 million in the army without drafting. Putin could have easily taken all of Ukraine but he has stuck to what he said originally – a special operation to only defend the Donbas. The hardliners criticize Putin for he should have taken Ukraine like the US did to Iraq and the war would have been over in 6 weeks. They have only been used to try to weaken Russia for the end goal of conquering Russia and stripping its wealth.

Then, in the Middle East, the markets are responding with the dollar, gold, and oil on the bid as many await the inevitable attack on Israel by Iran. The markets have rallied on reports that Israel is preparing for a direct attack by Iran this weekend. Many are expecting that this will be the biggest escalation of Middle East tensions in decades.

Iranian_Rial M Array 4 12 24

When we look at our models on Iran, it is the Month of May that has been the major target and the Directional Change. It is hard to interpret the fundamentals. Does Iran launch its retaliation in April and the major response to Iran in May, or does Iran wait for May 7th to respond?

Iranian_Rial D Array 3 27 24

What we can see is that the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April 1st set in motion the shift in trend. The Daily Array pinpointed Friday, March 29th, as a turning point with a Double Directional Change. But there were three Directional changes into Monday, April 1st.

Iranian_Rial W Array 4 12 24

The Weekly Array showed a Directional Change starting the week of April 8th. Look at the next primary target – the ECM week of May 7th. We must understand that May 7th could be more than just one incident.

ECM Islamic State Wave 10

Our models in the Middle East are coming to a major turning point next year, 2025.22 (March 21/22, 2025). Our models on crude oil show a significant directional change in 2025.

Israel is preparing for a direct attack by Iran on southern or northern Israel, and it has been reported they expect it this weekend, according to a source telling The Wall Street Journal. Yet, they did tell the Journal that no final decision has been made, though plans for a strike are under discussion.

The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem Thursday restricted government employees and their families from personal travel outside Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Be’er Sheva “out of an abundance of caution” until further notice. There is no question that Iran will respond. The question is when.

Syracuse sets new high temperature, breaking 79-year-old record

Updated: Apr. 09, 2024, 6:08 p.m.|Published: Apr. 09, 2024, 5:34 p.m.

By Fernando Alba | falba@syracuse.com

Syracuse, N.Y. — Syracuse has broken a 79-year-old high temperature record for April 9.

A new high of 78 degrees was recorded just before 4 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. The previous record of 77 degrees was set in 1945.

The average high for today would be 43 degrees.

Syracuse’s official weather records began in 1903.

The weather service is forecasting a high of 66 degrees on Wednesday, well short of the record for that date of 82 degrees, also set in 1945.

Twelve Ways Biden's Handlers Are

Hellbent On Destroying America

By Frosty Wooldridge

Exclusive To Rense

4-9-24

Part 1: The incredible speed of our country being invaded, the devolving of our Constitution, our language being changed, our history be altered, we're guilty of being a free country.

Twenty years ago, I sat in the audience when historian Victor Davis Hanson spoke to a "Stop Mass Immigration" audience sponsored by www.Fairus.org  in Washington DC. I shook hands with him. He wrote an extremely prescient book: Mexifornia.

In that book, he exposed how Governor Jerry Brown of California back in 1975 to 1983, and 2011 to 2019, overwhelmed the state with illegal Mexican workers, drug pushers, rapists, shoplifters, welfare anchor babies, and job stealing. He noted how Mexicans moved into positions of power. Today, you're seeing California's ugly situation of being unable to function as a first world state. It features 200,000 homeless, shoplifting killing major stores and chains, regular murders on a grand scale, welfare off the charts for illegal aliens, hospitals and prisons overrun, and the Mexican flag flown more than Old Glory. You see schools taught in Spanish while gangs rob trains, carjack automobiles, cities destroyed by incompetent minority mayors.

Governor Gavin Newsome is totally useless, and MS-13 distributes drugs up and down every city in California. We're talking about the largest state in the lower 48 turning into a corrupt, disgusting and un-American colony. At that same conference, I heard Colorado Governor Richard Lamm give a brilliant speech on: "The Eight Ways to Destroy America." I wrote a book about it: Immigration's Unarmed Invasion: Deadly Consequences." I have been writing about our country being invaded for over 30 years. I've written three books on it. I've tried to warn the American people what's coming. I tried to interview on "60 Minutes, NPR, PBS" and another 30 major network programs.

They didn't and they won't touch it. Some very powerful people want to keep the American people clueless and in the dark as to what's coming. Last week, Hanson wrote a piece: " 11 Ways Biden's Handlers are Hellbent on Destroying America." You can access it on the Internet or Fox News. Notice Hanson's choice of words as to who runs our country. It's not the dementia-plagued Joe Biden. He's clueless, unintelligent, vacant minded and totally out of touch with what's happening to our country.

We are no longer a sovereign country. Biden's handlers have erased our borders. I talked about it in my first book. What astounds me stems from the speed of this invasion. We're talking in excess of 12 million illegal aliens in the past 40 months and over 30 million more already here since 1986.

We are being hung out to death with Congresses' $34 trillion debt. President John Adams said there are two ways to defeat a country, "By the sword or by debt." We're in a hell of a mess with this gargantuan debt that WILL destroy our economic foundation.

Biden's handlers have given Iran and China the keys, money and power to destroy us. Whether it was his son Hunter gaining millions by his father's VP status, or Biden's sheer corruption over the past 50 years in Congress, Iran and China have him by his gonads. That means we're all screwed.

Our identity is now defined by dozens of opposing tribes. We've got so many other tribes in our country, we're no longer Americans. Millions of us identify as something other than "American." Hanson said, "Ensure each identity group rivals the other for victimhood and the state spoils it confers. Reboot all political issues by race and sex oppressors and oppressed. Destroy all meritocratic standards of admission, retention, promotion and commendation."

Change crime from a crime to social issue : do not punish criminals. Reward them. Allow $100 billion in shoplifting annually. Allow 100,000 drug overdoses annually by keeping the borders wide open. Allow American money to the tune of $120 billion annually to fly out from our country to other countries as cash transfers. Invest in "no-bail", no jail, and it's okay to shoot and kill police offers. That's what's happening across America in 2024.

Turn the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard into a bunch of transgenders, gays, illegal aliens, mentally deficient and mentally unfit discontents who can't fight their way out of a paper bag. The fact today: our military is more worried about a transgender's choice of uniform such as a lady's skirt and high heels on a DNA male, rather than a MAN with a PAIR that's trained to defend America with his life.

Hanson said, " Deliberately impugn as racists and insurrectionists the largest demographic in the military who in recent wars died at twice their numbers in the population — so that they leave or never join the military. Encourage retired high officers to slander their commander-in-chief. Cut the defense budget. Stop producing sufficient weapons, but leave billions of dollars' worth of arms to terrorists."

The fact is: somebody like General Milley left $90 billion worth of military hardware in Afghanistan. That wasn't a mistake. It was Biden's handlers totally in control and out to kill America.

In Part 2, we're going to examine the last six items that show how Biden's handlers are hellbent on destroying America. When he brings in another 10 million Muslims, 5 million Chinese and 1-5 million Africans with chain-migration along with "asylum seekers", we won't know who we are or what the hell to do to save ourselves. Biden's handers are effectively destroying our culture, our language, our identity and our way of life.

Russia raises stakes with moves along Israel's borders

Analysis: While relations have experienced strain since October 7, they have not reached a breaking point, leaving room for potential diplomatic maneuvering in the near future

Ariel Oseran/i24NEWS|03.31.24 | 16:01

As Russian warships from the Pacific Fleet enter the Red Sea amid heightened tensions, and with Russian forces establishing new observation posts along the Israel-Syria border, questions arise about Russia's intentions in the Middle East.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that a missile cruiser and a frigate have crossed the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait and reached the Red Sea amid ongoing Houthi attacks, though the purpose of their mission remains unclear.

This move follows the Kremlin's denial of receiving security assurances from the Houthis to prevent attacks on their ships, raising concerns about Russia's strategic goals.

Simultaneously, Russian forces continue to expand their presence in the Syrian Golan Heights, with plans to inaugurate an 11th observation post soon.

The recent surge in Russian involvement in the region, particularly concerning Israel, since October 7, prompts two main interpretations.

Firstly, Russia appears to be asserting itself in the Red Sea, aligning its actions with its rhetoric. By deploying ships to the Red Sea amidst escalating tensions, Russia is signaling its willingness to engage in the volatile maritime arena, potentially altering the dynamics of the region significantly.

Moreover, Russia's increased presence along the Israel-Syria border could serve to bolster its position in the event of a broader conflict, positioning itself as a key player in regional affairs.

The second interpretation suggests that Moscow is sending a clear message to Jerusalem. Recent tensions between the two nations, particularly regarding Russia's support for Hamas and Israel's statements in support of Ukraine, may have prompted Russia to increase its military presence along Israel's borders as a form of diplomatic pressure.

These developments underscore the need for the Israeli government to reassess its strategic relationship with Russia.

While relations have experienced strain since October 7, they have not reached a breaking point, leaving room for potential diplomatic maneuvers in the near future.

Respected Japanese medical doctor issues warning to the world: New wave of 'genetic' vaccines is coming down the pike like a freight train and must be avoided at all costs

This is a must-watch video message that blows the whistle on the whole rotten scheme

Leo Hohmann  Apr 11, 2024

A world-renowned Japanese professor has released a video message to humanity, warning that the Covid pandemic was a man-made hoax designed to “drive vaccinations” into the bodies of billions of people worldwide.

The chilling message was issued by Dr. Masayasu Inoue, MD, PhD, and professor emeritus at Osaka City University Medical School.

According to the respected medical doctor, the “false” pandemic was orchestrated by the United Nations World Health Organization, along with other globalist organizations and global governments.

The professor accuses these entities of an “extreme violation of human rights.”

The doctor argues that the global vaccination agenda was a fraudulent use of “experimental gene therapy” that was pushed onto “healthy people.”

The United States militarized the premature manufacture and distribution of the vaccines through Operation Warp Speed, which the doctor described as a “fraudulent” pretext based on the supposed urgency of a pandemic. This sense of public panic, urgency and outright hysteria was needed in order to get a new class of genetic vaccines into people’s bodies before proper testing could be carried out. The bodies of those who received the injections were trained to manufacture a toxic spike protein that collects in bodily tissue and is now causing all sorts of health problems, many of them deadly or debilitating.

The vaccines have been particularly devastating to children and young adults.

He warns that the result of rolling out Covid mRNA vaccines has led to “the induction of the terrible drug-induced injury that has never [been] seen in human history.”

He said new mRNA vaccine factories are now being constructed in his home country of Japan.

The Japanese doctor delivered his “message for the world” during a press conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

Japan’s first mRNA vaccine manufacturing plant opened in February 2023 and others are in the works.

The Japanese whistleblowing doctor warned, “There is a high risk that Japan-made vaccines will be exported under the guise of false trust.”

TRANSLATION: Do not receive them into your body no matter what new “pandemic” comes our way.

The Great Dispossession

April 12, 2024

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Klaus Schwab tells us that in the Great Reset that the World Economic Forum is preparing for us “you will own nothing and you will be happy.” Well, we already own nothing. Our bank deposits and stocks and bonds, in the event the depository institution gets into trouble, belong to the depository institution’s creditors, not to us. All assets are pooled and serve as collateral whether or not labeled “segregated.”

You might remember that during the last financial crisis we were told that there would be no more bail-outs, that in the future there would be bail-ins. A bail-out is when central bank money creation rescues the favored troubled financial institutions. A bail-in is when the depositors’ assets are used for the rescues.

David Rogers Webb, an experienced financial market participant, explains it in The Great Taking in 72 readable pages plus a 25 page prologue explaining who he is and a 20 page reply of the New York Fed to the European Commission Legal Certainty Group’s questions. The Great Taking is available from Lulu for $10 and is free online: https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/1ee786fb-3c78-4903-9701-d614892d09d6/taking-feb24-screen2.pdf 

The loss of property rights in financial assets is the case throughout the Western world. The rewrite of financial property rights appears to be the work of regulatory bodies, not legislatures which seem to be unaware of it.

No, it is not a conspiracy theory. Regulatory authorities have made legal changes of which financial market participants are unaware. Webb’s purpose is to bring awareness, which is why he has made his book freely available.

As a result of these changes, which appear to have been made by financial regulatory authorities rather than by elected legislatures, individuals no longer have property rights in “their” securities. “Owners” now have “entitlement rights,” which means that they have pro-rata rights to whatever securities remain in the depository institution after secured creditors’ claims are met. In actual fact, “your” securities and your bank deposits are no longer recognized in law as your personal property if the depository institution–the bank or, for example, Merrill Lynch–becomes financially troubled. Your “ownership” is encumbered as collateral for secured creditors who are the owners in fact. Apparently, this was done by regulatory authorities as underpinning for the derivatives complex, which is many magnitudes greater than world GNP, or perhaps derivative exposure served as an excuse for setting up the Great Reset in which “you will own nothing.” Indeed, individual banks among the world’s largest have derivative exposure the size of world GDP.

You might wonder why regulatory authorities permitted something so dangerous and irresponsible to occur.

To state the bottom line in another way, “your” securities serve as collateral for the creditors of depository institutions. Your right to “your” property terminates the minute the depository institution gets in financial trouble.

Communications between the New York Federal Reserve Bank and the European Commission Legal Certainty Group and the court case resulting from the failure of Lehman Brothers have established legal certainty that secured creditors are empowered to immediately take client assets in the event of a failure in the custodian.

National central depositories of securities (all are now pooled, none held under the “owner’s” name or segregated) are now established and are linked to the international depository so that securities can instantly be delivered world wide to meet secured creditors’ claims. Essentially, the mega-banks are “privileged creditors.”

You might think that your money and your stocks and bonds would be safe if you use as your depository one of the “banks too big to fail.” You would be mistaken. The Federal Reserve permits the large banks to create subsidiaries that hold deposits, and the Federal Reserve permits the large banks to transfer their derivatives to these same subsidiaries. In this way, the bank itself remains afloat. Only its subsidiaries holding your money and securities are wiped out in the event of a crash.

At the risk of over-promising, as even for a person of my education and experience getting one’s mind around the enormity of what has been put in place is a challenge, I hope for this article, which you have just read, to be part 1 in a 3-part series, with the second part being an outline of the regulatory changes that stole our financial property rights, and the third part being the implications of the Federal Reserve’s raising of interest rates after 15 years of near zero rates, thus shredding the value of financial assets held in portfolios. We face the prospect of the worst financial crisis in history “solved” with the introduction of digital money that places total control into the hands of political power and its masters.

Avian Flu Found In Seventh State As Cattle Restrictions Grow

by Tyler Durden  Friday, Apr 12, 2024 - 10:30 AM

Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

North Carolina authorities on April 10 reported that cows in the state tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza, as the state became the latest to impose restrictions on the movement of cows.

Testing of samples from North Carolina conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) came back positive for the influenza, also known as the bird flu and HPAI, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said.

“We have spent years developing methods to handle HPAI in poultry, but this is new and we are working with our state and federal partners to develop protocols to handle this situation,” Steve Troxler, the state’s agriculture commissioner, said in a statement.

He noted that, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, there is presently no concern regarding the safety or availability of pasteurized milk or milk products in the United States. Some experts, though, have warned there’s not enough evidence to support that position.

Avian influenza cases in cattle first appeared in the United States in March. USDA officials have since confirmed cases in 20 herds across six states, including Idaho, Kansas, and Texas, and a single case in a human. They have not yet commented on the North Carolina situation.

Stephanie Langel, an assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University’s School of Medicine, said on social media that because the influenza is not a reportable disease in cows, it’s likely the outbreak is larger than currently represented.

USDA officials do not require testing and only recommend testing if cows start exhibiting symptoms.

“Additionally, the majority of workers on dairy farms (especially large farms) are undocumented and are less likely to report symptoms,” Ms. Langel said, referring to illegal immigrants. “I worry we are underestimating human infections.”

The strain of HPAI that’s circulating, H5N1, originates from birds. Dead birds have been found on farms that have had cows with confirmed cases.

Bird flu is often fatal in birds and humans, but human cases are rare. The recent human case in Texas is only the second in history in the United States. Both patients recovered, officials say.

Worldwide, between 2003 and April 1 of this year, 889 human cases have been reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) from 23 countries. Of those patients, 463 died, the organization said.

Genomic sequencing of the virus in the Texas patient showed a mutation that makes the flu more likely to infect mammals, but the risk to people remains low, according to U.S. public health officials.

“Since the virus has not acquired mutations that facilitate transmission among humans and based on available information, WHO assesses the public health risk to the general population posed by this virus to be low and for occupationally exposed persons, the risk of infection is considered low-to-moderate,” WHO said in an April 9 brief. The agency noted that sustained human-to-human transmission of the strain and similar variants have never been detected.

No vaccines are currently available against H5N1.

Officials recommend people not get close to dead animals or animal droppings and not consume raw milk or raw cheese.

Restrictions

Due to the positive tests from cows in North Carolina, officials joined a growing number of states in restricting the movement of cows.

The movement of cattle from herds with confirmed cases in other states to North Carolina has been suspended, according to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Seventeen other states have also placed restrictions on cattle importations from the affected states, with Maryland joining the list on Wednesday.

Several states have said the sick cattle have come from Texas, where the first cases were detected.

Now that 21 herds have tested positive, it “stretches plausibility that it was all from one farm, but theoretically possible, given the amount cattle can move,” Gail Hansen, a doctor of veterinary medicine who used to be the state veterinarian for Kansas, wrote on the social media platform X.

The USDA has advised against moving sick or exposed animals and minimizing the movement of other cattle “as much as possible.”

“If cattle must be moved, we strongly encourage extreme diligence by producers, veterinarians, and animal health officials to ensure only healthy cattle are moving and to ensure the validity of interstate health certificates,” the agency said.

Terrorist Billionaires & The Future of Food

By Amil Imani|April 12th, 2024

Let us be clear—Consuming insect-based foods comes with potential health risks. These risks are primarily related to food safety and the presence of allergens or toxins in some insects.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has highlighted several food safety issues associated with edible insects. These concerns include:

Pathogens: Insects can harbor bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can risk human health if not properly handled or cooked.

Allergens: Some insects contain allergens that can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Toxins: Certain insects may contain toxins that can be harmful if consumed in large amounts.

Insects can contain allergens that may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. These reactions can range from mild to severe, depending on the individual’s sensitivity and the amount of insect consumed. Allergic reactions can manifest as skin rashes, itching, swelling, and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention.

Moreover, some insects are known to contain toxins that can be harmful to human health. These toxins can affect various systems in the body, including the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. Symptoms of toxin exposure can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and, in severe cases, coma or death.

Now, enter billionaires with sinister motives. At the forefront is none other than Bill Gates, who is relentlessly plotting to manipulate the world’s food supply, pushing for the consumption of insects and alternative proteins while buying large amounts of American farmland.

Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and a prominent figure in the so-called philanthropic sector, advocates for a diet of insects and, through his foundation and investments, works towards a future where traditional livestock is replaced by insect-based foods. All these can be traced back to Gates’s foundation’s investment in All Things Bugs, LLC, a company aiming to develop nutritionally dense food using insect species.

Bill Gates’s agenda-driven interest in sustainable food solutions is not limited to insects. He has also invested in cultured meat, a lab-grown alternative to traditional beef, which has received $50 million in funding. Gates’s investments and advocacy for his so-called sustainable food solutions are part of a sinister effort disguised as global challenges, including climate change and food security. His property acquisitions, including farmland in North Dakota and Texas, have only added fuel to speculations about his intentions, and these actions are likely part of a larger strategy to take our food away and make us eat insects.

Then we have Klaus Schwab and his “The Great Reset” plot to intending to destroy capitalism and enact a one-world government under the cover of COVID-19 and other agendas. Schwab founded the WEF with the help of Henry Kissinger and is actively supported by Prince Charles. Schwab likely established his ties with other influential American advocates of globalization through Kissinger’s International Seminar, which the CIA funded with $135,000. The global elite led by Schwab used the “pandemic” opportunity to roll out radical policies, such as forced vaccination, digital ID cards, and the renunciation of private property. The sinister agenda of the World Economic Forum (WEF) becomes evident from the fact that the unelected Schwab has served as the WEF’s chairman since its inception, and he continues to hold the position of Founder and Executive Chairman today.

In the meantime, we hear about billionaires buying bunkers and islands as if prepping for an apocalypse. The truth is that land acquisitions in Hawaii by billionaires displace local communities, raising concerns about mirroring a modern twist on feudalism. Ultimately, these billionaires aren’t just waiting for the apocalypse but actively shaping their own self-sufficient, controlled environments while we can survive on the insect food they produce.

I rest my case with a summary of the points regarding the risks of eating insects:

Allergic Reactions: Some people may have allergic reactions to insects, similar to allergies to shellfish or shrimp, due to the presence of chitin in their exoskeletons. This can lead to symptoms ranging from mild to severe.

Microorganisms and Pathogens: Insects can harbor pathogens on their surface, in their gut, and as part of their reproductive cycle. The full scope of the microbiota of edible insects is unknown, and whether these extrinsic pathogens may be harmful if eaten. Cooking may not kill them, either.

Biological and Chemical Contaminants: Insects grown on agricultural waste may be exposed to mycotoxins, pesticides, and other chemical hazards like toxic metals and dioxins. High lead levels have been found in dried grasshoppers, leading to elevated blood lead levels in humans.

Processing Risks: When heated or cooked, the chemical-thermal reactions with the toxins on their shells or within their guts can release toxic compounds that accumulate in the protein meal.

The future of food is definitely at stake, and billionaires and their vast wealth continue to influence food systems in concerning ways.

Gold Is Doing Its Job

Posted on April 12, 2024 by MN Gordon

On Monday, the U.S. Commerce Department announced it was awarding Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) a $6.6 billion CHIPS Act subsidy for the fabrication of computer microchips in Phoenix, Arizona. TSMC will also receive up to $5 billion in low-cost government loans.

In return, TSMC will expand its planned investment from $40 billion to $65 billion and add a third Arizona fabrication site by 2030. The company will be producing the world’s most advanced 2 nanometer technology at its second site starting in 2028.

The Commerce Department anticipates the development will create 6,000 long term manufacturing jobs and 20,000 shorter term construction jobs. With the AI arms race rapidly escalating, having semiconductor fabrication on American soil may be a strategic necessity. Nonetheless, subsidizing industry – in this case a foreign company – using American taxpayer dollars comes with lasting costs.

This is but one of countless examples of how the U.S. economy no longer functions through the free and mutual exchange of individual citizens in the marketplace. It is subject to extreme intervention from planners in the government.

These planners include members of Congress. And they pass ridiculous spending bills that condemn the American populace to a lifetime of debt servitude. Crony contracts. Pork barrel waste. Manufacturing subsidies. Social transfer payments. These costs all pile up on the national debt ledger.

The recent $1.2 trillion spending bill, for example, is over 1,000 pages. It includes massive giveaways for various departments such as Defense, Homeland Security, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and State.

Are these departments really spending this money for the greater good?

Not Capitalism

The effect of all this government spending twists the economy in strange and unnatural ways. Money is extracted from people and businesses who earned it by delivering goods and services of value. Then, it is pumped into agencies and departments, and government contractors, who otherwise would be incapable of standing on their own two feet.

To be clear, this economic system has nothing to do with capitalism. Rather, it’s a centrally planned economy that feeds off the fruits of capitalism, while trampling upon individual freedom and personal liberty.

Call it cronyism. Call it fascism. Call it tyranny. Call it whatever you want. But don’t confuse any unpleasantness you’re currently experiencing with the failure of free market capitalism.

Mega government spending bills have nothing to do with free market capitalism. And they have everything to do with rising consumer prices. But that’s not the half of it.

While your Congressional representatives are busy handing out money like breath mints, there’s a whole other beast of central planners that are devouring people’s labors and extracting value for the benefit of member banks. Here we’re referring to the Federal Reserve System – the central banking system of the U.S.

This cartel provides big banks with an astonishing benefit. When the economy expands, the bankers earn substantial profits. But when the economy contracts, often the consequences of reckless lending by bankers, the Fed bails them out with credit created out of thin air. This has the effect of transferring the losses to the public.

The U.S. government has added $29 trillion in new debt since 2000. How was all this debt made possible? How was it financed at such ultra-low interest rates?

In short, this was all made possible by the expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet.

Currency Debasement

Still, there are no free lunches. And even in a fiat money system, where new money and credits are issued with just a few strokes of the keyboard, there are limitations.

The coronavirus fiasco’s mega money printing saturnalia blew consumer price inflation out to 40-year highs in mid-2022. And prices have continued to rise from there. Moreover, the consequences are making life extraordinarily disagreeable for vast numbers of people.

This week’s CPI report showed consumer prices increased 0.4 percent in March and 3.5 percent over the last 12 months. This 3.5 percent annual CPI increase reported in March is 75 percent higher than the Fed’s arbitrary 2 percent inflation target.

Nonetheless, looking back just one year gives an incomplete picture of rising consumer prices. Remember, the 3.5 percent increase over the past 12 months is compounded on top of prior years. Thus, to better understand the rampant level of currency debasement you’ve been subjected to it is appropriate to look back several years.

The world changed dramatically in March 2020 when the government shut down the economy and started sending out stimmy checks. We all lived through it. And we continue to experience the fallout. So, let’s look back accordingly.

Since March 2020, at the onset of the coronavirus madness, the CPI has increased from 258.115 to 312.332. That’s an increase of 21 percent. Has your income kept pace with inflation over the last four years?

If the answer is no, you didn’t do anything wrong. You’re merely suffering the consequences of central planners who are hellbent on destroying the currency. By implication, you’re worse off than you were four years ago.

What’s more, the figures above are all courtesy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Thus, they’re understated to conceal the government’s failings. By our estimation, over the last four years, consumer prices have inflated by about double – 40 percent – from what the BLS reports.

Gold Is Doing Its Job

The rapid rise in consumer prices is a consequence of the Fed’s and the Treasury’s joint money printing operations. In other words, rising consumer prices are an expression of too much artificial stimulation. What’s more, the entire economic and financial edifice depends on it. Take it away, and it collapses.

Central bankers, like Fed Chair Jerome Powell, understand that they have only two options. Continue stimulating until the dollar loses all value and society breaks down into disorder and disarray. Or stop simulating and cause a complete credit collapse and 1930s-style depression.

Neither scenario is very appealing. But, as you’re likely aware, the choice has already been made. The Fed will continue inflating and debasing the dollar, with the hope of managing a slow burn into the ultimate hyperinflationary collapse.

With a little luck, the Fed will be able to put this off for a few more years. The goal is to postpone the day of reckoning until significant hoards of baby boomers have vacated the planet. Then, the younger generations will be left to pick up the pieces.

In the interim, chaos is already boiling over in many areas. High consumer prices. Unsustainable debt burdens. Widening income and wealth inequality. Mass urban homeless encampments. Border chaos.

These are all characteristics of an economy with terrible fiscal and monetary policies and significant corruption and fraud. But you don’t have to be a victim.

Physical gold – and silver – has provided wealth protection in times of chaos for thousands of years. No doubt, it will provide this important service as the consequences of decades of currency debasement and corruption catch up with America.

Year-to-date gold is up over 15 percent in dollar terms. Over this same time, silver is up about 20 percent.

Indeed, gold and silver are doing their job. Was there ever a doubt they wouldn’t?

[Editor’s note: It really is amazing how just a few simple contrary decisions can lead to life-changing wealth. And right now, at this very moment, I’m preparing to make a contrary decision once again. >> And I’d like to show you how can too.]

Sincerely,

Pentagon moving additional assets to Middle East region in face of Iran threat, according to US official

From CNN's Natasha Bertrand

The US Defense Department is moving additional assets to the Middle East region, a defense official told CNN, as Israel and the US brace for a potential Iranian attack on Israeli facilities in the country and the broader region.

The move is "to bolster regional deterrence efforts and increase force protection for U.S. forces," according to the official.

The Pentagon has been working specifically to reinforce air defenses for the US troops stationed in Iraq and Syria, who came under attack by Iran-backed proxy forces over 100 times between October and February. In January, three US service members were killed when a drone got through US air defenses at the Tower 22 base in Jordan.

The US is not anticipating that Iran or its proxies will attack US forces as part of its retaliation, but are moving the assets just in case.

‘Run, run, run': Chaos at a Sydney mall as 6 people stabbed to death, and the suspect fatally shot

SYDNEY (AP) — A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured.

The 40-year-old was stopped in the knifing attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, which is in the city’s eastern suburbs, when a police inspector shot him after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters.

“They just said run, run, run — someone’s been stabbed,” one witness told ABC TV in Australia. ”(The attacker) was walking really calmly like he was having an ice cream in a park. And then he went up the escalators ... and probably within about a minute we heard three gunshots.”

Six of the victims — five women and a man — and the suspect died. Commissioner Karen Webb said the eight injured people were being treated at hospitals. The baby was in surgery, but it was too early to know the condition, she said.

“We are confident that there is no ongoing risk, and we are dealing with one person who is now deceased,” Webb said in a later briefing. She added: “It’s not a terrorism incident.”

She said police wouldn’t identify the man yet and were still working to determine his motivation.

Cooke said a ”lengthy and precise” investigation was just beginning.

Some witnesses were shocked at the rare outburst of violence. Australia enacted strict gun laws after a man killed 35 and wounded another 23 in 1996, in Tasmania.

Cooke said the police inspector, a senior officer, was alone when she confronted the suspect and engaged him soon after her arrival on the scene, “saving a range of people’s lives.”

The officer “showed enormous courage and bravery,” Webb said.

“If she didn’t shoot, he would have kept going, and I don’t know how many more he would have done,” another witness told 7News, speaking of the police inspector.

Video showed many ambulances and police cars around the shopping center, and people streaming out, many with children in their arms.

Paramedics were treating patients at the scene.

Roi Huberman, a sound engineer at ABC TV in Australia, told the network that he sheltered in a store during the incident.

“And suddenly we heard a shot or maybe two shots and we didn’t know what to do,” he said. “Then the very capable person in the store took us to the back where it can be locked. She then locked the store and then she then let us through the back and now we are out.”

The most senior members of Britain’s royal family, who are also royals in Australia, expressed their shock and sadness over the stabbings.

King Charles III said he and his wife Queen Camilla were “utterly shocked and horrified” by the “senseless attack” in Sydney and that their “hearts go out to the families and loved ones of those who have been so brutally killed.” The king’s eldest son Prince William and his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, said they too were “shocked and saddened” and that their thoughts are with those affected and the “heroic emergency responders who risked their own lives to save others.”

Associated Press writer Panagiotis Pylas in London contributed to this report.

Hezbollah elite commander killed in Israeli strike on southern Lebanon

Senior Hezbollah operative Ali Ahmad Hussein, equivalent in rank to a brigade commander, is the fifth terror group commander of this rank to be killed since the war began

Yoav Zitun, Lior Ben Ari|04:27

The Israeli Air Force eliminated Ali Ahmad Hussein, the commander of the Hezbollah elite Radwan Force's Hajir attack sector, in a strike on the al-Sultaniyeh area in southern Lebanon overnight Monday.

Hussein, a senior officer with a rank equivalent to brigade commander, was responsible for planning and executing terror plots in the Ramim Ridges area against Israeli civilians.

Since the onset of the war, Hussein had been instrumental in launching numerous attacks on Israeli territory. The strike also resulted in the deaths of two additional Hezbollah terrorists under his command.

The former commander of Hezbollah's Hajir sector, who was eliminated at the end of February, served as the defense sector leader on the Lebanese side of the Ramim Ridge, overseeing the Hula Valley and Kiryat Shmona.

Hussein, who was eliminated in the overnight operation, commanded the attack sector for Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force in the same region, responsible for planning and executing extensive attacks into Israeli territory.

Hussein's death marks the fifth brigade commander-level operative in Hezbollah to be killed since the onset of the war.

Have You Heard About The 2 Gigantic Crosses That Stand At The Intersections Of The Eclipses?

April 4, 2024 by Michael

Something truly extraordinary is going to happen as the Great American Eclipse of 2024 passes over the United States, and hardly anyone is talking about it. Those that follow my work on a regular basis have already heard much of what I am about to share with you in this article, and I apologize to them in advance. But I feel compelled to write about this again, because the information that I am about to share with you is incredibly explosive and so few people know about it. My hope is that if I make enough noise about all of this, it will inspire others to make videos and write articles about these giant crosses.

A 111 foot tall cross stands where the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will intersect with the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 on April 8th.

And a cross that is 77 feet and 7 inches tall stands where the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will intersect with the path of the “ring of fire” solar eclipse of 2023 on April 8th.

Is it just a coincidence that 2 giant crosses stand at the intersections of these eclipses?

I don’t think so.

I believe that only God could have orchestrated this.

On April 8th, an area in southern Illinois known as “Little Egypt” that was plunged into darkness by the Great American Eclipse of 2017 will also be plunged into darkness by the Great American Eclipse of 2024.

This particular area of southern Illinois has been known as “Little Egypt” since the very early days of our country…

In 1799, Baptist minister John Badgley dubbed the fertile highlands and bottoms near Edwardsville the “Land of Goshen“. Early Edwardsville was known as Goshen. This was a biblical reference to Ancient Egypt. Geographic features such as the Mississippi and its flood plains were like the fertile Nile valley. The Indian mounds of the area were large at the time and seemed like the pyramids of Egypt. The nickname stuck, and it was reinforced by other events.

In the 1830s, poor harvests in the north of the state drove people to Southern Illinois to buy grain.[16] Others say it was because the land of the great Mississippi and Ohio River valleys were like that of Egypt’s Nile Delta. According to Hubbs,[citation needed] the nickname dates back to 1818, when a huge tract of land was purchased at the confluence of the rivers and its developers named it Cairo /ˈkɛəroʊ/. Today, the town of Cairo still stands on the peninsula where the Ohio River joins the Mississippi.

Other settlements in the area were also given names with Egyptian, Greek, or Middle Eastern origins: The Southern Illinois University Salukis sports teams and towns such as Metropolis, Thebes, Dongola, Palestine, Lebanon, New Athens, Sparta, and Karnak show the influence of classical culture.

In the heart of “Little Egypt”, there is a gigantic white cross.

It is known as “The Bald Knob Cross of Peace”, and it is 111 feet high…

Bald Knob Cross, officially known as the Bald Knob Cross of Peace, is a large white cross located in Alto Pass, Illinois, United States.[1] The structure is 111 feet (34 m) tall. The base of the cross is 1,034 feet above sea level and overlooks the Shawnee National Forest. Originally completed in 1963, the cross itself stands 111 feet tall, is 22 feet square at the base, 16 feet square at the top and its arms extend 63 feet horizontally. The exterior white panels covering the cross are 4-inch architectural flat insulated metal panels while the base portion is covered in granite approximately 4-inches thick. The structure sits on a foundation of 730 tons of reinforced concrete that goes down 20 feet to bedrock. The steel framework weighs approximately 170 tons. Each of the four sides of the cross have a word inscribed into the granite: Peace, Hope, Faith, Charity.[2]

As the Great American Eclipse of 2024 completes the gigantic “cross” over America that the Great American Eclipse of 2017 started, a gigantic cross that is 111 feet tall will be standing at the intersection of those two eclipses.

If you aren’t amazed by that, I honestly don’t know what to say.

But that isn’t the end of the story, because there is more.

As the Great American Eclipse of 2024 completes the gigantic “cross” over America that the “ring of fire” solar eclipse of 2023 started, a gigantic cross that is 77 feet and 7 inches tall will be standing at the intersection of those two eclipses.

It is known as “The Empty Cross”, and it is in the Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden in Kerrville, Texas…

The 77′ 7″ hollow cross sculpture at this site has been seen by millions of people traveling on Interstate 10, connecting California and Florida. Countless others have learned about this unique spiritual art garden through various media channels. Remarkably, the paths of the Oct. 14, 2023, Annular Solar Eclipse and the April 8, 2024, Total Solar Eclipse converge deliberately. Many believe this convergence, forming a colossal cross in the sky directly above “The Empty Cross,” is not a random occurrence but a divine sign—a message from the Creator Himself.

You literally cannot miss this cross when you are traveling on Interstate 10, because it is absolutely enormous.

If you are not familiar with “The Empty Cross”, here is some information from the official website of the Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden…

The Empty Cross”™ is a seven-story Cor-ten steel sculpture by artist/evangelist, Max Greiner, Jr. This stunning signed and numbered edition Cor-ten sculpture was donated to THE COMING KING FOUNDATION by Max and Sherry Greiner, and Monte and Beverly Paddleford, owners of Eagle Bronze Foundry in Lander, WY. This unique contemporary sculpture was installed on top of a 1930’ hilltop above IH-10 on July 27, 2010.

“The Empty Cross”™ is believed to be the most symbolic cross sculpture in the world because of its Biblical symbolism. The massive open hollow cross symbolizes the Resurrection, the Door, the Narrow Gate, the Strong Tower, the Mighty Fortress, and the Light of the World, who is Jesus Christ. God sees mankind through the cross while mankind can only see the true God by looking at the cross.

And as all of this is happening, the sun, the moon and the other seven planets in our solar system will be lined up in the sky.

I shared the following graphic that was originally posted on Reddit yesterday, but I am going to share it one more time so that you can see exactly what I am talking about…

That is pretty amazing.

To top everything off, as the Great American Eclipse of 2024 is passing over America, the sun will already be down in Jerusalem and the first day of the first month on the Hebrew calendar will have begun.

Can you believe that there are actually some people out there that think that none of this has any significance whatsoever?

The heavens are literally screaming at us to pay attention.

Ultimately, I am entirely convinced that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 is meant to point us to Jesus and the cross, but the vast majority of the population seems to be completely missing that point.

US Scientists Shoot Salt Crystals Into Atmosphere To Block Sunrays To Fight Climate Change, But Did Not Tell The Public To Avoid Scrutiny

ago 18 hours  by Jacob M. Thompson

3 Comments

Mainstream media is not even trying to hide it anymore, and are pretending as if this is totally normal.

Researchers at the University of Washington have covertly carried out what is being touted as the United States’ first-ever outdoor test to curb global warming by increasing cloud cover, by launching a mist of salt crystals into the atmosphere from the deck of a decommissioned aircraft carrier in the San Francisco Bay.

Robert Wood, the scientist for the team, said, “Every year that we have new records of climate change, and record temperatures, heat waves, it’s driving the field to look at more alternatives. Even ones that may have once been relatively extreme.”

The University of Washington’s study, “Field Study of Controlled-Release Sea Salt Aerosol Plume,” can be read here.

The news of this work was detailed in a piece by The New York Times last week, though did not garner a lot of attention as is.

Scientific American wrote:

The move led by researchers at the University of Washington has renewed questions about how to effectively and ethically study promising climate technologies that could also harm communities and ecosystems in unexpected ways. The experiment is spraying microscopic salt particles into the air, and the secrecy surrounding its timing caught even some experts off guard.

The Coastal Atmospheric Aerosol Research and Engagement, or CAARE, project is using specially built sprayers to shoot trillions of sea salt particles into the sky in an effort to increase the density — and reflective capacity — of marine clouds. The experiment is taking place, when conditions permit, atop the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum in Alameda, California, and will run through the end of May, according to a weather modification form the team filed with federal regulators.

But, just like the reports that have not gotten all that much exposure, the experiments were done covertly as not to upset the public.

The NYT, which had special access to watch the experiment as it was taking place, indicated that the secrecy was intentional.

The idea of interfering with nature is so contentious, organizers of Tuesday’s test kept the details tightly held, concerned that critics would try to stop them. Although the Biden administration is funding research into different climate interventions, including marine cloud brightening, the White House distanced itself from the California study, sending a statement to The New York Times that read: “The U.S. government is not involved in the Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) experiment taking place in Alameda, CA, or anywhere else.”

The NYT wrote

Furthermore the Times noted: ‘If it works, the next stage would be to aim at the heavens and try to change the composition of clouds above the Earth’s oceans.’

Since this experiment was kept under wraps until the test started, we are eager to see how public engagement is being planned and who will be involved. While it complies with all current regulatory requirements, there is a clear need to reexamine what a strong regulatory framework must look like in a world where [solar radiation modification] experimentation is happening.

Shuchi Talati, the executive director of the Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering, a nonprofit that seeks to include developing countries in decisions about solar modification

David Santillo, a senior scientist at Greenpeace International, also shared his discontent and concern with this experiment. “You could well be changing climactic patterns, not just over the sea, but over land as well. This is a scary vision of the future that we should try and avoid at all costs.”

Sarah Doherty, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington and manager of the school’s marine cloud brightening program, also concurs and claims they wish this technology never has to be or is used.

I hope, and I think all my colleagues hope, that we never use these things, that we never have to.

She said, citing ‘potential side effects that still needed to be studied, including changing ocean circulation patterns and temperatures, which might hurt fisheries,’ but still noted the importance of conducting these experiments

But whether Doherty knows it or not, geo-engineering/cloud-seeding – what once used to be considered a “conspiracy theory” – has now becoming more mainstream and common to talk about.

Almost one year ago exactly ABC News ran a detailed segment highlighting how companies and agencies have been spraying silver iodine from planes into the atmosphere to create more precipitation. The lead investigator for ABC covering this, Ginger Zee, was also a guest on ABC’s The View, where she casually revealed to an unsuspecting population that this practice has been going on for some time, but a newer concept is being adopted where machines that sit on the ground simply “puff” the chemicals into the air to achieve the same effects. “Ten states are doing this,” she said a year ago.

More recent experimentation has also been cited in the mainstream media. In January, officials in Southern California conducted “tests” to increase the area’s water supply. This was highlighted by environmental and independent journalist Allison Morrow in a video report. Similar to this recent study conducted by the University of Washington, the negative effects and damage this could cause was not discussed in the media’s reports.

Last summer both the European Union and the White House put out official dossiers openly discussing proposals to dampen the sun’s rays to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Moreover, The WinePress noted in 2022 that other nations were looking into expanding these cloud-seeding projects to increase precipitation.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

What used to be called a “tinhat conspiracy theory” decades ago, and would have gotten you ridiculed (I know I was when talked about it many years ago, even as a child I knew), now is just casually and nonchalantly being presented as if this has always been common knowledge, and how great it is; and the sad part is most people who are fixated to the mainstream propaganda will just passively accept it as so.

But even now the media and the scientists still keep trying to gaslight us, as if this is some new thing. NO! It’s been going on for decades, and all you had to do was look up and see that the clouds being formed were unnatural, and those non-dissipating streaks in the sky were not contrails but chemtrails.

For example, in a declassified document, a U.S. document details what was called “Operation Popeye,” which involved cloud-seeding during the Vietnam War to increase the potency and longevity of their monsoon seasons.

The fact is the world governments, militaries, mad scientists, and private interests and conglomerates have been regularly messing with God’s creation for a very long time. Whenever it rains at certain times here in northern Indiana the rain smells bad, like some kind of metal, perhaps this silver iodine, or aluminum, calcium carbonate, or perhaps plastic kind of. The point is, it’s totally abnormal; and even as a small child I knew something was off but never knew why.

A good resource to check out is Geoengineering Watch.

God only knows how much more severe storms and “natural disasters” this has already created, and how many more it will create; not to mention the famine that is going be created here because of it, potential disease from contamination, and so on.

[18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. [19] And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Revelation 11:18-19

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Is It Just A Coincidence That A Magnitude “4.8” Earthquake Hit Our Largest Metropolitan Area Just Days Before “4/8”?

April 7, 2024 by Michael

Oh, is this a question that I am not supposed to be asking? Following the earthquake that shook up the Big Apple on Friday, a lot of people were suggesting that it seemed really weird that a magnitude “4.8” earthquake would hit our largest metropolitan area just days before the Great American Eclipse of 2024 passes over the United States on “4/8”. It isn’t as if New York regularly experiences these sorts of quakes. In fact, it is being reported that this was the largest earthquake in New York City since 1884. So the truth is that this was a very rare occurrence. And we are just supposed to believe that this extremely rare earthquake that just happened to be precisely magnitude 4.8 has absolutely nothing to do with the Great American Eclipse on April 8th?

Okay…

Over the weekend, so many people wrote me about this.

So I decided to write an article about it.

It turns out that the war between Israel and Hamas was being discussed at the UN at the exact moment that the earthquake hit…

At the United Nations in Midtown Manhattan, a Security Council address on the Israel-Gaza conflict was interrupted as cameras began shuddering.

That is certainly very interesting.

And we have also learned that the earthquake struck very close to a location in New Jersey known as “Lebanon”…

A rare earthquake rocked the New York City area Friday morning, swaying buildings and sending terrified residents into the streets — the strongest temblor to strike near the Big Apple in 140 years.

City officials quickly warned people of the danger of potential aftershocks — which began in the early afternoon in New Jersey, a report said.

The preliminary 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Lebanon, NJ, around 10:23 a.m. and was potentially felt by more than 42 million people, according to the US Geological Survey.

When the war in the Middle East goes to the next level, southern Lebanon will be one of the key battlefields.

It is also being reported that the epicenter of the earthquake was a place called “Whitehouse Station”…

The epicenter of the earthquake was in Whitehouse Station, Hunterdon County, at 10:23 a.m.

That is certainly weird.

And as I pointed out to my core supporters on Friday, Donald Trump actually owns a golf course that is approximately 7 miles away from the epicenter of the earthquake…

Donald Trump’s New Jersey golf course was rocked by a 2.0 magnitude aftershock from the 4.8 earthquake that shook the Northeast on Friday morning, with residents warning tremors could last a week.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported a quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8, centered near Lebanon, New Jersey, about 50 miles west of New York City at 10.23am and was felt by more than 42 million people.

The Trump National Golf Club Bedminster is less than seven miles from the epicenter of the quake and was rocked by an aftershock hours later – it is unclear if the club sustained any damage.

Interestingly, this quake occurred exactly 7 months before the presidential election happens on November 5th.

So the epicenter of the earthquake was in “Whitehouse Station”, and a man from New York that owns a golf course that is 7 miles away from the epicenter will be one of the candidates for president on election day exactly 7 months after the earthquake.

And all of this happened the day after the Statue of Liberty was struck by lightning.

Yes, there is a possibility this is just one really long string of incredibly bizarre coincidences.

And a lot of people are trying to make that argument.  But I am not buying it.

I think that God has been trying to get our attention.

But most of the population is not listening.

On Monday, the eclipse that many of us have been waiting to see for more than 7 years will finally be here.

Of course it isn’t just people like us that have been anticipating this eclipse. NASA will be firing three rockets toward the eclipse on April 8th, for some reason CERN selected that specific day to fire up the Large Hadron Collider, and a state of emergency has been declared in many areas that will be along the path of totality.

And as Trey Smith has pointed out, the U.S. Space Command logo actually bears a striking resemblance to the giant “X” over America that will be completed by the Great American Eclipse of 2024 on April 8th…

As I discussed earlier today, having a giant “X” painted in the skies over America that intersects directly in the middle of the New Madrid fault zone is probably not a good sign.

Right now, speculation about this eclipse has reached a fever pitch on social media, and some people are even suggesting that what is happening in the heavens is making them feel ill…

One person said: “Been feeling physically sick for a few days now and I feel like it’s because of the Mercury retrograde and the upcoming solar eclipse. Does anyone else feel off/sick these days?” while another said: “Any of u also experiencing headache bc of the solar eclipse??”

One user said they had been feeling “wiped out”, writing: “A lot of people talking about the Total Solar Eclipse and Full moon… but us anyone else actually FEELING it?… This just has me wiped out feeling weird “. Another claimed it had thrown her menstrual cycle off and their period was now “synced” with the eclipse.

Other social media users revealed they’ve been battling insomnia too, one user said: “Anyone else suffering from weird insomnia, no appetite and other weird s**t that can’t be explained? Someone told me the eclipse might have something to do with it but I don’t get how.”

Personally, I think that what a lot of those people are experiencing is just being caused by anxiety.

As for what may or may not happen on April 8th, I am not expecting any sort of a major disaster or emergency to happen on that specific day.

But I could be wrong.

We shall see.

It is entirely possible that something could happen.

But the main point of April 8th is going to be what is going on in the heavens.

I believe that this eclipse is a sign, a warning and a threshold.

It is what is going to happen during the days, weeks and months after April 8th that people should be concerned about.

Of course most of the population does not believe that April 8th is any sort of a warning at all.

Most of them think that the eclipse does not have any sort of special significance, and once it has passed most of them will just keep doing what they always do.

Ship attacked outside of Yemen, vessels warned to ‘exercise caution’

By Reuters  Published April 7, 2024, 9:20 a.m. ET

CAIRO, April 7 — British security firm Ambrey said it had received information indicating that a vessel was attacked on Sunday in the Gulf of Aden about 102 nautical miles southwest of Mukalla in Yemen.

“Vessels in the vicinity were advised to exercise caution and report any suspicious activity,” the firm said. It did not say who was responsible for the attack or give further details.

Separately, a missile landed near a vessel in the Gulf of Aden on Sunday but there was no damage to the ship or injuries to crew in the incident, 59 nautical miles southwest of the Yemeni port of Aden, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said.

“The Master of the vessel reports a missile impacted the water in close proximity to the vessel’s port quarter,” UKMTO said in an advisory note. “No damage to the vessel reported and crew reported safe,” it added.

It did not say who fired the missile or give further details.

Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi militants have staged months of attacks on shipping in the Red Sea region in support of Palestinians in the Gaza war.

The attacks have disrupted global shipping through the Suez Canal, forcing firms to re-route to longer and more expensive journeys around southern Africa.

The United States and Britain have launched strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.

BRICS: Russia Doubles Gold & Foreign Currencies To Uproot US Dollar

Vinod Dsouza April 5, 2024

BRICS is the largest buyer of gold in 2023 as members accumulated tons of the precious metal, reported the World Gold Council. China alone purchased 225 tons of gold while Russia, India, Brazil, and South Africa came next in line. Reports suggest that BRICS could back their soon-to-be-released currency with gold to take on the US dollar.

In addition, Russia announced on Thursday that it is now doubling its accumulation of gold and local currencies moving forward. The country’s Finance Minister Anton Siluanov confirmed that they will double the acquisition of both gold and foreign currencies. The gold and foreign currency accumulation will start from April 5 to May 7, 2024.

The development comes at a time when BRICS is looking to stop using the US dollar for cross-border transactions. Read here to know how many sectors in the US will be affected if BRICS ditches the dollar for trade.

For second time in less than a week, a Chinese national was caught on a US military base...what are they doing there?

by: Pat Droney 2024-04-03 Source: Law Enforcement Today Op

TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA - Less than one week after a Chinese national was caught trespassing at a Marine base in the El Centro Sector in California, as reported by Law Enforcement Today, a report comes out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, also in California, that a Chinese national attempted to drive onto the base.

Military.com reported that last week, the Chinese national was able to make it past gate guards but was immediately apprehended by military police, Marine Corps officials told the outlet.

According to Marine Corps spokesman Maj. Joshua Pena, "At approximately 12:45 p.m. on March 27, 2024, an individual attempted to access Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, without valid identification.

“Despite being prompted to exit at the Condor Gate by installation security, the individual proceeded onto the installation without authorization. Military law enforcement were immediately notified and detained the individual,” Pena continued. “They then notified and transferred custody to Customs and Border Patrol (CBP).”

Military.com said the Condor Gate entrance is adjacent to a military housing complex and within sight of an elementary school.

In a March 29 post on X, Chief Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino with CBP confirmed the suspect was in the U.S. illegally. No further information was provided.

Why would two military-aged Chinese males enter US military bases within a couple hundred miles of each other within a matter of days? Nobody knows, but it cannot be good given the current state of relations between the U.S. and China.

In September, the Wall Street Journal reported that over 100 Chinese nationals had posed as tourists over recent years to gain access to military bases and other sensitive sites, citing information from U.S. officials who believe the trend is “espionage-related.”

For example, in 2020, Chinese nationals attempted to forcibly gain access to Fort Wainwright, Alaska, claiming they had “reservations” at the base hotel. Meanwhile, another group of Chinese nationals illegally entered a naval air station in Key West, Florida, to “take photos.”

Since Joe Biden hung out the “Welcome to the USA” shingle when he was installed into office in January 2021, over 140,000 Chinese have illegally entered the country, a majority of them military-aged males, according to Just The News.

A majority of the Chinese nationals illegally entering the U.S. at the southwest border are doing so through California; at the northern border, a majority are entering through New York, according to CBP data.

The numbers have increased each year since 2021, with 23,471 Chinese nationals entering the U.S. nationwide. In 2022, the number increased to 27,756 and exploded to 53,700 in 2023, nearly doubling in two years. For FY-2024, which started in October, 36,912 Chinese nationals were apprehended through February, extrapolating to almost 90,000 for this fiscal year. In December 2023 alone, 8,518 illegal Chinese aliens were caught entering the U.S. Those numbers do not include so-called “gotaways,” which makes the actual number higher.
