It is time for all member nations of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Argentina, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) to drop the United States dollar in favor of local currencies for financial relations and settlements, according to Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov this week, at the Russia-China Financial Dialogue forum in Beijing.

At the meeting Siluanov met with Lan Fo'an, his Chinese counterpart, to discuss new ways to facilitate making trade payments in local currencies rather than the U.S. dollar as part of a long-term de-dollarization strategy that aims to unseat America from global trade dominance.

"We need to further develop financial cooperation within the BRICS countries," Siluanov added. "Here we see opportunities ... to develop a payments system that would be independent of the infrastructure, which does not always fully fulfill the goals of individual countries."

"Therefore, the sustainable development of financial relations and settlements on the BRICS platform is important for us, and we believe that it is necessary to work out such issues, and today we will consider a number of them."

(Related: Check out our earlier report about Russia's upcoming plans to release a new BRICS currency to compete with the dollar – it should be ready by next summer, Russia says.)

Many BRICS partners are already making trades with local or alternative currencies after sanctions stemming from the war in Ukraine effectively cut Moscow off from the Western financial system.

Rather than kowtow to Western demands, Russia and its partners have instead been laying the groundwork for a new world order that will eventually cut off the West from global trade after the U.S. has been unseated as the global economic superpower.

Communist China is quickly rising to the top of the trade heap with all of its cheaply made junk, and Russia is helping it and the other BRICS member nations further dethrone the U.S. by encouraging financial transactions in other currencies.

"Ditching the dollar is the only sane thing to do to establish multi-polar prosperity for non-dollar nations," wrote one commenter at RT in favor of Russia's agenda.

"Ditching the dollar as fast as they can will liberate their economies," wrote another.

"The U.S. dollar has become a weapon of mass destruction to the world," suggested someone else. "Money should be a produce of labor, not debt labor."

One idea for BRICS, as proposed by someone else who left a comment, is for member nations to use a basket system of only member-state currencies, all of which have to be backed by gold.

"And no member may use the U.S. dollar in their international trade," this same person added. "I think this will work out well for BRICS and poorly for those who think that this will never happen ... because it will (one day)."

"Previously, the world was using the U.S. dollar due to convenience and free will," said another. "And now they will stop using it since it has been repeatedly weaponized."

Another wrote that ditching the dollar is a top priority. BRICS needs its own reserve currency and independent SWIFT system, as well as its own shipping, insurance and international lending mechanism in order to out-compete the dollar and complete the de-dollarization process.

"However, the goal must not be to completely ditch the dollar or euro, but to have an alternative because competition is the best because what if BRICS itself becomes arrogant with members?" this person added.

It has been nine months since the spectacular and sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. After witnessing three of the four largest bank failures of all time in 2023, the attention of the media and the markets has turned elsewhere. Banking crisis? It is as though it never happened. Having fallen by some forty percent in March, the NASDAQ Bank Index has recovered to within fifteen percent of its high from February. In the last few months, nearly all markets have gone on a bull run, including bank stocks. Yet, and despite the relative quiet, the banking sector is not in great shape. Here are some of the reasons why.

Banks continue to lose deposits. According to FDIC data, U.S. banks have now lost deposits for six consecutive quarters. While the pace has slowed from the first quarter of 2023, in which nearly half a trillion of deposits were removed from the banking system, approximately $190 billion of deposits have been withdrawn in the last two quarters. Indeed, U.S. banks have lost a net $1.1 trillion of deposits since the beginning of 2022 when interest rates began to rise.

With customer deposits growing scarce, U.S. banks are instead relying on emergency funding lines from the Federal Reserve Banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. FHLB bond capital raising (proceeds are used to fund the banks) is up 89 percent year-over-year through November and looks set to reach $1.1 trillion for 2023. Use of the Bank Term Funding Program, the emergency line put in place by the Fed in March 2023, reached an all-time high last week at $131.3 billion. This does not reflect normal market operations. This is a sign that the bank funding markets aren’t operating properly, and that the regulators are stepping in to help prop up the system.

So much for the liabilities side. But banks face challenges on the asset side as well. Unrealized losses on investment securities, which is the same problem that got SVB into trouble a year ago, continue to rise. U.S. banks reported unrealized losses of over $684 billion in the third quarter, up 22 percent from the second quarter. Of these unrealized losses on securities, $294 billion are categorized as Available for Sale (AFS), as opposed to Held to Maturity (HTM) where the bank intends to hold the asset and (hopefully) recapture principle at the end of the term. The high amount of AFS suggests that if interest rates remain “higher for longer,” then a portion of these losses will begin to realize in 2024 as they are sold by the banks. This will pressure profitability and capital levels.

Net income is declining across the banking system generally, but particularly amongst the smaller community banks. Credit quality is deteriorating, but not yet to crisis level. Commercial real estate continues to drive the increase in problem loans.

To grow (or at least slow the decline) of deposits, banks are going to have offer rates that are somewhat competitive with money market funds (considering that bank deposits are insured by the FDIC and thus relatively safe), and that offer positive real (i.e., after inflation) returns. With inflation persisting in the three to four percent range, this means that banks will have to offer four to five percent to be relevant. This isn’t going to work for the banks. They won’t be able to maintain profitability. And it won’t work for the U.S. Treasury, which itself is committed to trillion dollar bond issuances each quarter, which also must offer a positive interest rate above investor perceptions of inflation and the deteriorating fiscal condition of the U.S. government.

If funding costs rise further, or if unrealized losses begin to realize, banks will start taking hits to their capital levels. This will spook the markets, including depositors, and we may find ourselves in round two of deposit runs. To head off these challenges, some banks are looking to merge. There have been 78 bank deals announced in the second half of 2023, mostly among the smaller and community banks. But this won’t work in many situations where the result is the proverbial “two drunks holding each other up.”

Investor optimism is permeating markets going into year end, with most all asset classes continuing to rise. But we must not lose sight of the banks. They are not out of the woods yet. While there is a “goldilocks” scenario in which the banking sector makes a soft landing, the risk of another set of bank failures in 2024 remains meaningful.

Russia and Iran have finalized an agreement to trade in their local currencies instead of the U.S dollar, Iran's state media has reported.

"Banks and economic actors can now use infrastructures including non-SWIFT interbank systems to deal in local currencies," Iran’s state media has declared.

Moscow has lately been cozying up to Tehran, with Iran revealing in November it will provide Russia with Su-35 fighter jets, Mi-28 attack helicopters and Yak-130 pilot training aircraft.

The global de-dollarization drive has been going on for years with BRIC countries and the so-called pariah states trying to ditch the American dollar in favor of other currencies.

Back in 2019, Putin declared that time was ripe to review the dollar’s role in trade. At that time, Russia and China considered switching to the euro, the world’s second most dominant currency, as an acceptable stalemate, with the ultimate goal being to use their own currencies.

Earlier in the current year, Russia paid dividends from the Sakhalin 1 and 2 oil projects in Chinese yuan instead of the dollar. Last year, Russia was cut off from the US dollar-dominated global payments systems following sweeping sanctions off the Ukraine war.

Russia has declared it will no longer accept the American currency as payment for its energy commodities but will instead switch to Chinese and Emirati currencies.

However, global de-dollarization efforts have borne little fruit with the vast majority of cross-border transactions involving BRICS members continuing to be invoiced in dollars. Indeed, exchanging BRICS members’ local currencies with each other and with other emerging market currencies frequently requires using the dollar as an intermediary.

Further, a large share of public and private debt in these economies is dollar denominated. The relative stability of the dollar compared to many local currencies makes it more attractive as a medium of payment in cross-border trade. The dollar’s widespread use in these cases has become self-reinforcing, thus preserving its dominant global role and impeding efforts to de-dollarize.

A multipolar world is needed to ensure peace and stability, the Russian foreign minister says

The West is sowing chaos around the world, fueling conflicts to satisfy its own needs at the exepnse of others, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Lavrov’s words came as countries including Russia, China and India are increasingly speaking out about the need for a model that would reshape global politics in a more fair and equitable manner.

“The world remains in a turbulent state. And one of the reasons for that is the ruling class in the West, which is provoking crises thousands of kilometers away from their own borders in order to achieve their own goals at the expense of other nations,” Lavrov said in an interview published by TASS news agency on Thursday.

“As the West keeps clinging to its diminishing dominance, no one is safe from its geopolitical tricks. This understanding is increasing across the globe.”

The foreign minister added that Western countries will sooner or later “have to accept the realities of a multipolar world, and that’s when all issues will be resolved on the basis of a balance of interests.”

Unstoppable march of the Global South: How Russia and Africa made 2023 a pivotal year for bilateral relations

In his interview, Lavrov accused the West of instigating the Russia-Ukraine conflict through “the enlargement of NATO and by transforming Ukraine into an anti-Russian bulwark.” He also blamed the West for the “escalation” between Israel and Palestine.

Russia has been one of the countries calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The US blocked several UN Security Council resolutions urging for a comprehensive cessation of hostilities between Israel and Palestinian militants.

Israel and the US are insisting that a ceasefire at this point would only benefit the militant group Hamas, despite numerous warnings from the UN about the staggering death toll in Gaza.

As fighting rages in the Middle East and Europe and China looms as a threat, America's dwindling arsenal of high-end munitions emerges as an alarming crisis. The United States, once a fortress of military might, now faces the prospect of a munitions deficit in an era brimming with uncertainties. This desperate situation demands the development of a national critical munitions stockpile.

European weapons makers are overwhelmed and struggling to meet Ukraine's consumption of more than 6,000 artillery rounds each day during peak counteroffensive fighting. Ukraine's ability to stave off defeat and defend itself against the Russian invasion largely depends on an uninterrupted supply of these rounds. Ukrainian forces are conserving their ammunition supply, which might lead to postponements in upcoming counterattacks. Over the coming months, this shortage of ammunition could compel Ukrainian military units to make difficult choices regarding the allocation of resources across various frontlines, focusing on areas where maintaining control is most crucial and potentially allowing minor territorial losses in less critical sectors.

To supplement Ukraine's massive ammunition requirements, DoD pulls munitions from its own war reserve stocks. Further compounding the matter: In an attempt to extract stricter immigration policies, House Republicans are blocking a congressional aid package for Ukraine.

Last year, to help meet the demand for Ukrainian munitions, the Pentagon tapped into a stockpile of American 155mm rounds in Israel, sending hundreds of thousands to Ukraine. These rounds, stored for decades in Israeli bunkers, are to provide an Israeli qualitative military edge, a pillar of American policy in the Middle East. Now Israel needs them back to target Hamas's command cells in its war in Gaza. The U.S. is supporting two countries, both of which use enormous amounts of 155-millimeter artillery and other ammunition in wars that may stretch on for many months. Running out of ideas, last month the Pentagon established a team to examine American inventories to identify ammunition for Israel. Earlier this month, Senator Deb Fischer, a senior Senate Armed Services Committee member, remarked that the U.S. must expand its munitions production capability.

Once a conflict begins it can lead to extraordinarily high munitions consumption. The fighting in Ukraine should serve as a warning regarding production of munitions the U.S. would need in a conflict with China over Taiwan. The U.S. must resolve the extensive issues within its munitions manufacturing processes ahead of a conflict with China.

American forces require an enormous volume of critical munitions to fight against a technologically advanced military force. This ammo is also necessary to equip partner forces in Asia, such as Australia, with the long-range anti-ship munitions needed to defeat the Chinese flotilla or prevent it from ever embarking. The stockpile also ensures that American industrial output is sustained in times of crisis and preserves the United States' global military edge.

The U.S. also provides Taiwan with munitions sufficient to blunt an initial Chinese blow. This strategy – codified by the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act – involves ensuring Taiwan has sufficient defense capabilities against a Chinese attack. The U.S. arms Taiwan only to a level that does not disrupt the diplomatic equilibrium between Washington and Beijing. But, there is growing concern in the Pentagon and the Indo-Pacific that Taiwan does not have enough of the high-tech munitions to hold off a PRC attack. Here again, the shrinking U.S. munitions reserve represents a risk.

In a U.S. fight with China, American forces will likely burn through munitions stocks within three weeks. Even with a surge of the U.S. industrial base, replenishing stocks will take more than six months. In the interim, the U.S. will be without sufficient bombs and bullets for its cutting-edge systems, such as fifth-generation fighter jets and High Mobility Rocket Launcher Systems, and anti-air missiles needed to protect our nuclear aircraft carriers and bases in the Pacific.

Right now, the warning indicators are blinking red. The massive need for ammunition in such conflicts highlights weaknesses in the American defense industry, which no longer produces munitions at the rate it did decades ago. The post-Cold War defense budget reductions led to a swift merger of the defense sector, which saw a drop from fifty-one major defense providers in the early 1990s to five by the end of that decade. This consolidation led to a tightened capacity.

To arm our allies and partners and our own forces to deter and, if necessary, fight a major theater war, the United States requires a critical munitions stockpile. This reserve will enable the Department of Defense to restore essential munitions stocks vital for maintaining air dominance, defending against air and missile threats, and targeting hard and deeply buried objectives.

The PROCURE Act, introduced by a bipartisan group of senators in the previous Congress, would go a long way toward building this stockpile. The legislation aims to establish a $500 million per year revolving fund in the Treasury Department for the Pentagon to procure critical munitions. This fund would allow the Defense Department to swiftly replenish high-demand munitions supplied to partner countries in future conflicts, using profits from the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program. The act is designed to support democratic nations and protect American interests overseas, allowing the Pentagon to continuously order critical munitions. The Senate Armed Services Committee should push to get the PROCURE act passed into law.

In addition, we must expand the National Defense Stockpile, a largely obscure reserve of raw material based in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with operations throughout the United States. The National Defense Stockpile holds an emergency supply of 50 critical minerals. Many of these minerals, such as aluminum, titanium, and magnesium, are used in the production of munitions. The value of materials in the U.S. National Defense Stockpile has drastically decreased from $42 billion in 1952 to less than $1 billion today. America's mineral reserves are significantly lower than China's, with the . Congress must expand the NatioNational Defense Stockpile maintaining only 300 metric tons of cobalt compared to China's 7,000 metric tonsnal Defense Stockpile to support a potential major theater war.

Our munitions stockpiles and production capacity are not just inadequate; they are a glaring vulnerability in our national defense strategy. We must act with resolve and urgency to revitalize our defense industrial base and expand our reservoir of munition-production minerals. Nothing less than our national interests and global stability is at stake.

Michigan Constitutional Sheriff Offers ‘Militia Course’ for Patriots to Defend the Homeland

Barry County, Mich. Sheriff Dar Leaf is offering a “militia course” for patriots in his county to use their 2nd Amendment rights to defend the homeland.

According to a Facebook post, Leaf is offering the course to “learn a militiaman’s duty.” He will provide a “certificate upon course completion,” and welcomes “potential jurors, homeschoolers, ladies & gentlemen.”

Leaf is one of the nation’s leading constitutional sheriffs. He is outspoken about the county sheriff’s duty to interpose their authority to reject unconstitutional and immoral laws at the federal and state levels.

Big League Politics has reported on the rise of the militia movement in Michigan in response to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s intolerable acts:

“A Michigan town has passed a resolution declaring themselves to be a 2nd Amendment sanctuary, and they intend to back that resolution up by force if needed.

Holton Township, Mich. passed the resolution on Tuesday night and are creating a volunteer militia in the town that can interpose itself against the enforcement of illegal, unconstitutional gun control recently approved by the far-left Democrat legislator and governor.

The township is enacting these policies because they feel they are “necessary for the security and rights of Holton Township residents.”

“The people of Holton Township, through their duly elected members of the Holton Township Board, hereby designate Holton Township as a Second Amendment Sanctuary in order to preserve for the people of, on and in Holton Township, the inalienable rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America,” the resolution states.

“We, the people of Holton Township, hereby declare our inalienable rights, our freedom and our Liberty as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America,” the resolution adds.

In order to join the militia, Holton Township residents need to be the age of 18 or older, pass a federal firearms background check, and issue a letter or state on social media that they want to join the militia. The resolution was signed by the Holton Township clerk Malinda Pago, who also serves as the Co-Chair of the Michigan Republican Party…

More cities need to do this in order to nullify gun control and other constitutional infringements. This is the only way that liberty will be preserved as society falls.”

This is what a well-regulated militia looks like. The Founding Fathers would be proud of Sheriff Leaf. Lets hope and pray for the future of the Republic that this movement catches on.

Today, They Are Blocking Airports And Storming Government Buildings. Tomorrow, What They Will Do Will Be Far Worse…

Radical Islamic activists are increasingly causing major problems all over the United States. They are blocking airports, storming government buildings and causing all sorts of chaos in the streets. Unfortunately, thanks to the Biden administration more Muslim extremists continue to pour into this country with each passing day. They have learned how to game the system just like hordes of other illegal immigrants have. We are literally committing national suicide, but as long as Joe Biden is in the White House our borders are going to continue to be wide open.

On Wednesday, pro-Hamas protesters blocked access to the largest airports in New York City and Los Angeles on “one of the busiest travel days of the year”…

Police arrested pro-Palestinian protesters that blocked entry to New York City’s John F. Kennedy airport and the Los Angeles International Airport on one of the busiest travel days of the year.

Travelers were forced to get out of their cars and walk to the airport with their luggage in New York after activist demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war blocked the road leading to one of the country’s biggest and busiest airports on Wednesday.

Port Authority Police Department were notified of the protest activity on the Van Wyck Expressway inside JFK airport around 11:30 a.m.

At one point the protesters on the Van Wyck Expressway were heard chanting “from the sea to the river”, which is essentially a call for genocide.

If you can believe it, protesters were actually trying to block the road to the airport “with cement blocks and other objects”…

The protest took a turn when the Los Angeles Police Department got involved around 9:30 a.m. when the group attempted to block the roadway with cement blocks and other objects. As officers moved in, the protesters took off running in different directions, while others were taken into custody.

This sort of chaos should not be happening at a major U.S. airport, but it is happening.

On Christmas Day, hundreds of radicals marched through Manhattan chanting “Christmas is canceled here”…

Six people were arrested as part of a protest of hundreds marching through Midtown chanting “Christmas is canceled here.”

Police say some of the protesters clashed with officers near Grand Central Terminal and Union Square, leading to six arrests for menacing officer, graffiti and disorderly conduct.

And earlier this month a large group of radicals actually stormed the Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill…

A protest for a cease-fire in Gaza led to over 40 arrests at the Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill Monday, according to Fox 5 Washington D.C.

The pro-Palestinian protesters were demanding a cease-fire in Gaza while illegally demonstrating inside the Congressional space, according to authorities.

Just after 10 a.m., a Capitol spokesperson told Fox 5 that the demonstrators arrived, with one man even climbing a statue in the atrium, before being charged with resisting arrest.

Over the past few months, there have been endless examples of pro-Palestinian extremists causing trouble.

Thanks to the very foolish policies of our leaders, there are now 49.5 million people living in this country that were not born here…

Nearly 50 million people living in the US were born in another country according to a shocking new report.

A new study by the Center for Immigration Studies found 49.5 million people — around 15% of the 330 million US population — were originally born in another country.

The report also states this percentage, the highest ever recorded since the nation’s founding, has increased during Biden’s presidency, which it attributes to migrants flooding into the country during the current border crisis.

If people come here legally and want to abide by our laws and integrate into our society, I have no problem with that.

Unfortunately, there are millions upon millions of immigrants that have come here that have no intention of following our laws or integrating into our society.

I wanted to know how many Muslims currently live in the United States, and so I asked Google.

Google told me that there are 3.45 million Muslims in the United States, but that number is from 2017.

It is undeniable that radical Islam is rapidly growing in this country. Earlier today, I was absolutely horrified to learn that a new poll has found that three out of ten Gen Z voters in the U.S. actually believe that Osama Bin Laden’s views were a “force for good”…

One in five young Americans has a positive view of 9/11 mastermind and Al Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden, according to disturbing results of a DailyMail.com poll.

The alarming survey also found three in 10 Gen Z voters believe the views of the anti-Semitic terrorist leader who slaughtered thousands of innocent people were a ‘force for good’.

They believe that Islam should conquer the entire world and that anyone that refuses to submit to their religion should be wiped out.

In nation after nation, Islamic extremists have become more and more demanding as their numbers have grown.

These extremists bring violence with them wherever they go, and they are going to play a major role in the tremendous societal chaos that is ahead of us.

Sadly, very few are sounding the alarm, and our politicians continue to allow more radicals to pour into this country with each passing day.

Breaking News: Chinese, Iranian and Indian Warships Are Now in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden

A Russian military blog post posted on Thursday, December 21 at 11:33 Moscow time, has revealed the hitherto secret positions of all warships in the area which the Pentagon has announced for its OPERATION PROSPERITY GUARDIAN.

The fresh data and the open map (lead image) were not available when yesterday’s report was published at 09:32 Moscow time of Russia’s “two-track” strategy for opposing the US and NATO, and for protecting Russian oil shipments while the Houthi drone and missile operations are under way against Israel.

No Russian Navy vessel is in the area at present although Russian crude oil cargoes are moving through the Red Sea with Iranian and Houthi agreement. Because these ship movements are defying US and NATO sanctions, it has been decided in Moscow to negotiate safe passage with Iran and Yemen rather than deploy the Russian Navy to protect them. However, the new combined US and NATO operation, targeting the Houthis and their Iranian support and supply systems, increases the possibility of a direct American, allied, or false-flagged attack on a tanker carrying Russian oil.

In yesterday’s morning report, I indicated that “the current whereabouts of the [Chinese] warship group has not been reported in the open press.”

The Russian source map is now reporting that the Chinese Navy’s 45th Escort Task Force, comprising the Type-052 destroyer Urumqi, the Type-547 frigate Linyi, and supply ship Dongpinghu were at berth at the Chinese base at Djibouti as of Wednesday, December 20.

The Russian map also reveals that the Iranian vessel MV Behshad is in a standing position in the Red Sea (lead image, top left of map). According to the Russian source, it is operating as an electronic surveillance, command and control centre to monitor friendly state ship movements – Russian, Chinese, Indian – and also hostile vessels of the US, British and French navies, tracking their positions; and relaying the data to Iran and probably to shore positions in Yemen . Although US media and Pentagon statements accuse the Ansar Allah government in Yemen and Houthi forces of acting as Iranian proxies in the war against Israel, there has been no disclosure before now of this vessel in the Red Sea.

According to the western vessel tracking service VesselFinder, the Behshad is a “general cargo ship” flagged by Iran. It reportedly sailed from the port of the Iran Shipbuilding and Offshore Industries Complex (ISOICO) to reach its current position, which VesselFinder confirms in the southern half of the Red Sea as of fifteen minutes ago. The western source reports the vessel is at anchor in 6.5 metres of water.

In the Pentagon announcement of December 18, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin claimed that “Operation Prosperity Guardian is bringing together multiple countries to include the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain, to jointly address security challenges in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, with the goal of ensuring freedom of navigation for all countries and bolstering regional security and prosperity.” The new Russian intelligence now makes clear that the UK, France and Spain are already in the region, with the US.

After Austin’s statement, his Italian counterpart announced that Italy is dispatching a frigate “to protect the prosperity of trade and guarantee freedom of navigation and international law…to increase the presence in the area in order to create the conditions for stabilization, avoid ecological disasters and also prevent a resumption of the inflationary push.”

The Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias followed the Italian to say that Greece too is sending a frigate to join the US operation. Dendias is claiming the reason is that Greece is “the country with the largest ocean-going fleet [and so] has a primary interest in preserving the freedom of maritime zones and protecting the lives of seafarers.” What he means is that the involvement of Greek shipowners in the sanctions-busting Russian oil trade has been so profitable, Dendias wants to protect the Greek tankers and their owners; and at the same time avoid the embarrassment of being so disloyal to the US and European Union sanctions regime.

For the time being, no Russian Navy vessel is reported in the Red Sea area, although reports indicate that the submarine Ufa is heading eastwards across the Mediterranean with a surface support vessel, and is likely to transit the Suez Canal and the Red Sea soon.

The presence of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy’s destroyer Yang Man-chun was reported when it left its home port in September to be for a six-month mission to combat piracy and threats against cargo shipments headed to and from Korea. The map reveals it is currently off the Somali coast, near Indian, British, and US Navy vessels, as well as the Japanese Navy’s destroyer, JS Akebono.

This warship has been in “training” with the USS Mason and the Eisenhower carrier squadron, but the Japanese are claiming it is engaged in “maritime security patrols in the GoA [Gulf of Aden], but is not involved in the new Operation Prosperity Guardian.”

Operationally, US Navy releases indicate that the Japanese and the Korean destroyers are “working in coordination with U.S. Naval Forces Central Command” to combat both Somali pirates and Houthi operations.

The World Economic Forum has been granted authorization by Pope Francis to rewrite the Holy Bible, according to a WEF insider who reveals the pope wants the new “fact-checked” version of the Bible to be far more political, with a central place for the primacy of nature, and far less about God.

Pope Francis has already declared that Klaus Schwab is more important than Jesus Christ and now he is determined to dismantle Christianity from the inside and replace God’s word with the demonic vision of the global elite.

Pope Francis’ decision has caused a storm in the Vatican, but should we really be surprised by his support for the elite’s New World Order? As an Agenda Contributor at the WEF, Pope Francis is fluent in blasphemy and is actively working to subvert the church and Christianity across the world.

Before we dive in, subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already, and join the People’s Voice Locals community to support the channel and gain access to uncensored content.

Pope Francis’ inverted version of Christianity is confusing for many, however the picture becomes clear when you understand who the pontiff is really serving.

This is the pope who joined forces with Bill Clinton in September to announce that humanity must be urgently depopulated to save the planet.

And this is the pope who informed his flock that “relationships with Jesus are dangerous and harmful.” Breaking with centuries of Christian tradition, Francis sparked fears that he is an illegitimate pope with a sinister agenda when he told a crowd of 33,000 pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square that “a personal, direct, immediate relationship with Jesus Christ” must be avoided at all costs.

As though that wasn’t disturbing enough, Francis followed up by ordering Christians to stop bringing people from other faiths to Jesus and Christianity.

And then he ordered his lackeys in the Vatican to proclaim that Lucifer is the God of the Catholic Church.

That’s right, according to Pope Francis’ twisted mind, Lucifer is Jesus Christ’s father and the God of the Catholic Church.

Obviously the new globalist Bible must be rejected out of hand by all self-respecting and god-fearing Christians. But what can we expect from this demonic text?

Yuval Noah Harari, who serves as Klaus Schwab’s right hand man at the WEF, went on record stating that the Bible is “fake news” and full of hate speech, and the elites can use AI to replace the Bible and create a unified “religion that is actually correct.”

Harari, who is known as ‘The Prophet’ in Davos circles, made the statement while giving a speech on the “future of humanity.”

According to Harari, the power of AI can be harnessed and used to reshape spirituality to accept the WEF’s globalist vision.

The people at The Economist know things that most people don’t and their magazine covers have a long history of telling us in advance about the political, economic and cultural developments that the elite have in store for us.

Just one month before Harari’s speech, the Economist appeared to be signing from the same hymn sheet.

Klaus Schwab famously boasted about how his Young Global Leaders have taken over the world and the WEF has penetrated cabinets in all of the leading democracies.

But it’s not just the cabinets. The global elite understand their dark spirituality can only succeed in a world devoid of religion. So they decided to destroy the world’s major religions from the inside.

WikiLeaks emails taught us that Francis was installed in the Vatican in a globalist coup orchestrated by George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

And the globalist bulldog wasted no time repaying his globalist masters by repeating disturbing globalist rhetoric at every opportunity.

In 2017, Pope Francis called for a “one world government” and “political authority”, arguing that the creation of the one world government is needed to combat issues such as “climate change.”

Speaking with Ecuador’s El Universo newspaper, the Pope said that the United Nations does not have enough power and must be granted full governmental control “for the good of humanity.”

Disturbingly, world religious leaders are also beginning to come together as one to preach from the same hymn sheet, instructing their sheep to accept the components of the New World Order’s one world government.

Now, Pope Francis is actively defying Biblical scripture by working to rewrite the Bible along globalist principles and create a “one world religion.”

First Francis shocked the Christian world by hosting Islamic prayers and Quran recitals in the Vatican.

Then he took off his shoes in Istanbul’s Blue Mosque, faced Mecca, and prayed to Allah.

Somebody needs to remind Francis that the Bible says “You shall have no other gods before me.” This is expressed in Exodus 20:3, Matthew 4:10, Luke 4:8 and elsewhere.

But it’s unlikely Francis would be interested. He is more interested in overruling God’s word and eradicating Christianity in favor of what he calls “Chrislam.”

The world is now at a tipping point, with a fierce battle raging for the soul of humanity. The globalists and their technocratic dreams of totalitarian rule threaten to consume humanity and destroy civilisation as we know it.

It’s clear whose side Francis is on. And we haven’t even covered the pedophilia scandal that is rotting the Catholic church from the inside out.

Here at the People’s Voice we are determined to continue exposing the crimes of the globalist elite but we need your help. Subscribe to the channel, spread this video far and wide, and join the People’s Voice Locals community for exclusive and uncensored content. I hope to see you there.

Deindustrialization: Japan Buys Historic 122-Year-Old US Steel For $15 Billion In Cash

Flying under the radar this week, the famous and historic American industrial company United States Steel Corporation, better known as U.S. Steel (USS), was sold to a Japanese company called the Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC) for $14.9 billion. NSC is currently the 4th largest steel manufacturer globally.

USS was founded in 1901 after a merger orchestrated by J. P. Morgan by financing the merger of Andrew Carnegie’s Carnegie Steel Company with Elbert H. Gary’s Federal Steel Company and William Henry “Judge” Moore’s National Steel Company, and saw Charles Schwab become the corporation’s first president. USS was the first-ever billion dollar company in the world, and was the largest steel producer in the world for the longest time.

According to a press release published on December 19th by USS, NSC announced they ‘will acquire U.S. Steel in an all-cash transaction at $55.00 per share, representing an equity value of approximately $14.1 billion plus the assumption of debt, for a total enterprise value of $14.9 billion.’

USS added in its press release, ‘The transaction will further diversify NSC’s global footprint by significantly expanding its current production in the United States, adding to its primary geographies of Japan, ASEAN, and India. As a result of NSC’s acquisition of U. S. Steel, its expected total annual crude steel capacity will reach 86 million tonnes – accelerating progress towards NSC’s strategic goal of 100 million tonnes of global crude steel capacity annually.’

USS made sure to note that this buyout will not affect current employee contracts and labor union agreements. The company will still also maintain its name.

Additionally, the buyout purportedly will be to help meet climate change goals they say. They write:

A key area of collaboration post-transaction will be to continue to advance this goal and drive alternative technologies in decarbonization. NSC is developing three breakthrough technologies to progress towards its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, including hydrogen injecting technology into blast furnaces, high grade steel production in large size electric arc furnaces, and hydrogen use in direct iron reduction process.

U. S. Steel is similarly focused on reducing its carbon footprint, including continuously striving to use less energy in its existing operations, integrating electric arc furnace capabilities into its footprint, and is constructing a second state-of-the-art mini mill in Arkansas.

We are excited that this transaction brings together two companies with world-leading technologies and manufacturing capabilities, demonstrating our mission to serve customers worldwide, as well as our commitment to building a more environmentally friendly society through the decarbonization of steel.

The transaction builds on our presence in the United States and we are committed to honoring all of U. S. Steel’s existing union contracts.

President and Chief Executive Officer of U. S. Steel, David B. Burritt, also said in a statement:

NSC has a proven track record of acquiring, operating, and investing in steel mill facilities globally – and we are confident that, like our strategy, this combination is truly Best for All.

Today’s announcement also benefits the United States – ensuring a competitive, domestic steel industry, while strengthening our presence globally. Our shared decarbonization focus is expected to enhance and accelerate our ability to provide customers with innovative steel solutions to meet sustainability goals.

As Petrova points out in her video, besides being the Treasurer, Janet Yellen is also the Chair of the Committee for Foreign Investments, so she has the power to block this deal. If it does not go unblocked then that will speak volumes. But, seeing as Yellen is a totally evil bankster, I’m certainly not holding my breath.

The U.S. is just some giant shell company for everyone else at this point. We the people, the serfs, cannot get ahead and make a fair wage anymore, while the government shells money for everyone else abroad and illegals, while alien countries continue to buy up more of our companies, resources, land, and real estate.

The U.S. economy has been predominantly service sector and consumer-based for many years now.

[2] Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. [4] We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.

[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).

The ominous trends that we see all around us are taking us somewhere. Needless to say, 2023 was not a good year for our country. Hunger and homelessness have been absolutely exploding, the suicide rate just continues to go even higher, and there is chaos in the streets on an almost nightly basis. It is in this environment that the election of 2024 will happen. I expect election season to add an additional level of strain to our society, and I don’t think that our society will be able to handle it. We are headed for a nightmare, and at this point everyone should be able to see that.

When conditions deteriorate, it is often those at the bottom of the economic food chain that feel it first. And right now food banks all over the nation are dealing with a tsunami of hunger…

Food bank leaders from all corners of the country tell USA TODAY their neighborhood pantries are serving more people while using less resources, as economic pressures continue to ravage the budgets of low-income Americans and service providers alike.

Since pandemic-era boosts to government food aid ended earlier this year in many states, families are turning to food banks to close a gap in need that feels like it has no end in sight.

Susannah Morgan, the president of Oregon Food Bank, says that she is literally witnessing “the worst rate of hunger in my career”…

“This is the worst rate of hunger in my career,” said Morgan, who has worked at food banks in Boston, San Francisco and Anchorage, Alaska. “It’s so large, it’s hard to wrap your head around.”

I don’t know what I have to do to convince some people that things really are this bad.

I keep sharing fact after fact in my articles, but some people out there are just not convinced.

One out of every five children in the U.S. does not have enough food to eat, but the reality of the suffering that is now taking place just isn’t sinking in for many of those that are still living the high life.

Meanwhile, homelessness in the U.S. is increasing at the fastest rate ever recorded…

The United States experienced a dramatic 12 percent increase in homelessness as soaring rents and a decline in coronavirus pandemic assistance combined to put housing out of reach for more Americans, federal officials said Friday.

About 653,000 people were experiencing homelessness during the January snapshot. That’s the highest number since the country began using the yearly point-in-time survey in 2007 to count the homeless population.

There are many out there that feel that such people need to “get a job” or “work harder”, but the truth is that most Americans are living on the verge of economic disaster because most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

According to USA Today, “Americans are lonely and it’s killing them”, and at this point things are so bad that this crisis is being called “a new epidemic”…

America has a new epidemic. It can’t be treated using traditional therapies even though it has debilitating and even deadly consequences.

The problem seeping in at the corners of our communities is loneliness and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy is hoping to generate awareness and offer remedies before it claims more lives.

“Most of us probably think of loneliness as just a bad feeling,” he told USA TODAY. “It turns out that loneliness has far greater implications for our health when we struggle with a sense of social disconnection, being lonely or isolated.”

There are so many people out there that are deeply, deeply hurting because they are so lonely.

They are trying their best to face a world that has gone completely mad, but that can be really difficult to do when you don’t have anyone to lean on for support.

Speaking of a world gone mad, retail theft has absolutely skyrocketed in many of our largest cities since 2019…

Crime-ridden New York City has seen the biggest impact with a 64 percent increase in retail theft, followed by Los Angeles with a 61 percent jump and Virginia Beach, Virginia, which has seen a 44 percent rise.

Each month, more Americans are descending into poverty and more Americans are turning to crime.

And it certainly doesn’t help that vast hordes of illegal immigrants are constantly being added to the mix.

Chaos in the streets has become an almost constant state of affairs in this country, and this year in Oakland there was even rioting on Christmas Eve.

Of course our leaders continue to exist in a bubble where none of these problems constitutes a serious crisis.

To them, everything must be just fine because they are doing such a wonderful job.

When he was recently confronted about the reality of the economic crisis that we are now facing, Joe Biden bluntly told the press to “start reporting it the right way”…

President Biden criticized news coverage of the U.S. economy as he faces growing backlash from voters over his handling of inflation.

In brief remarks Saturday before boarding the presidential helicopter, Biden expressed confidence in the economy and ripped the reporters for the way it has been portrayed.

“All good. Take a look. Start reporting it the right way,” Biden said when asked about his economic outlook for 2024, according to a transcript released Sunday by the White House.

He wants the press to continue to spin things in a way that will make him look good as they always have done in the past.

So brace yourself for what is ahead, because we are going to experience so much chaos during the year that is in front of us.

China's theft of intellectual property in technology, including in AI, and other trade secrets is a major threat to the West, global intelligence leaders warn.

Intelligence leaders from the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand — collectively known as the Five Eyes — explain that the scale of China's theft is unprecedented. FBI Director Christopher Wray believes China is the "defining threat of this generation."

"There is no country that presents a broader, more comprehensive threat to our ideas, our innovation, our economic security and ultimately our national security," Wray said. "We have seen efforts by the Chinese government, directly or indirectly, trying to steal intellectual property, trade secrets, personal data — all across the country."

A company based in China was convicted of stealing the technology secrets of wind turbine technology company. The company lost its competitive advantage, sales collapsed and the company laid off nearly 700 workers.

"It is a threat to our way of life in a number of ways," Wray said. "The first is that when people talk about stealing innovation or intellectual property, that's not just a Wall Street problem. That's a Main Street problem. That means American jobs, American families, American livelihoods, and the same thing for every one of our five countries, directly impacted by that theft. It's not some abstract concept. It has flesh and blood, kitchen-table consequences."

China's threat extends beyond just espionage, the intelligence leaders said. The Five Eyes also warned of China's meddling in elections and violence aimed at silencing Chinese dissidents living in their countries.

Countries spying on each other is nothing new, but the scale and techniques of China's operation worries the intelligence leaders.

All countries spy to covertly learn information, Australia's Director-General of Security Mike Burgess said.

"But the behavior we're talking about here goes well beyond traditional espionage," Burgess said of China. "This scale of the theft is unprecedented in human history."

Burgess said the scale is why they felt it was important to call out China's activities publicly.

"Essentially what you have with the Chinese government is the autocracy and oppressive regime of, you know, East Germany combined with the cutting edge technology of Silicon Valley," Wray said. "And the combination represents a daunting first of its kind threat for the United States and for our allies."

Wray pointed to theft from Fortune 100 companies down to small startups. He said the theft occurs in the fields of agriculture, biotech, health care, robotics, aviation and academic research.

"We probably have somewhere in the order of 2,000 active investigations that are just related to the Chinese government's effort to steal information," Wray said.

Ken McCallum, director general of the U.K.'s MI5, said the espionage concerns include government and military secrets and critical infrastructure. He also worries about the theft targeting academic research at universities and startup companies.

"People, in short, who probably don't think national security is about them," McCallum said.

The theft happens in several ways, McCallum said. Company employees are often manipulated, sometimes without being aware of what's happening.

"We have seen, for example, the use of professional networking sites to reach out in sort of masked, disguised ways to people in the U.K., either who have security clearance or who are working in interesting areas of technology," he said. "We've now seen over 20,000 examples of that kind of disguised approach to people in the U.K. who have information that the Chinese state wishes to get its hands on."

China also has the biggest hacking program in the world, FBI Director Wray said.

"[It has] stolen more of our personal and corporate data than every nation, big or small, combined," Wray said.

Chinese companies overseen by the Communist Party are also a concern, the intelligence leaders said. Sometimes Chinese companies acquire land and companies in other countries for espionage purposes, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service David Vigneault said.

"We've seen a variety of efforts by Chinese businesses, in some cases state-owned enterprises, in some cases ostensibly private companies, attempting to acquire businesses, land, infrastructure, what have you, in the United States in a way that presents national security concerns," Wray said.

The Five Eyes intelligence leaders privately met Wednesday with 15 top Silicon Valley executives and Stanford University.

They came into the meetings to figure out ways to protect the companies and their intellectual property, Wray said. The companies, in turn, told the intelligence heads some of their needs and how they felt they could help.

MI5 Director General McCallum has a message for companies that may now want their guidance.

"I would say that if you are operating at the cutting edge of tech in this decade, you may not be interested in geopolitics, but geopolitics is interested in you," McCallum said. "And you would be reckless, not just with my secrets but with your own company's viability, with your shareholders' capital if you didn't think about what that means."

The Five Eyes partnership is an important part of the effort dealing with intelligence threats, New Zealand Security Intelligence Service Director-General Andrew Hampton said.

With all the worries over China, Wray said the U.S. still welcomes business, visitors and academic exchange with China, but not cheating, theft or repression.

"I would say to the Chinese government, if they want to be a great nation, it's time for them to start acting like one," Wray said. "And that includes abiding by its own commitments not to steal innovation. That includes not exporting repression to other countries. That includes working with all of our countries and all the other countries that we work with all the time who have common threats, like cybercrime, fentanyl trafficking, money laundering. It means not working with criminals but rather working to uphold the rule of law."

China, for its part, had its own message to the Five Eyes, saying in part: "We firmly oppose the groundless allegations and smears toward China."

Western sanctions have failed to sink the Russian economy due to a “big country trap” effect, a recent study by the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences has found.

If a state is a major player on the global market – like Russia – the imposition of restrictions on its exports will inevitably backfire, leading to a surge in global prices, the researchers noted, referring to the Western embargo on Russian seaborne oil supplies.

The sanctions on Russian oil introduced by the G7 and EU late last year were conceived as a means to curtail Moscow’s energy revenues without causing a spike in global energy prices. In reality, however, they have had a boomerang effect. Soaring crude prices have helped Russia financially offset a decline in supplies, putting “formal effectiveness” of the sanctions in contradiction with their “strategic effectiveness,” the study said.

Russia’s monthly revenues from crude exports are reportedly higher than before the start of the military operation in Ukraine, with net oil revenues hitting $11.3 billion in October, according to Bloomberg’s calculations. The restrictions have led to a reshaping of the financial architecture of the oil and maritime trade and a change in the “pricing environment” of global markets, Alexey Kostin, an associate professor at Moscow’s Financial University, suggested. In response to the sanctions, Russia has “successfully” diverted most of its energy exports to Asia – particularly to India, China, and Iran, where the country’s oil has been sold well above the West’s $60-per-barrel price cap, the expert said.

Attempts to lock down the world’s key exporter only lead to a destabilization of the market, Maksim Maksimov, an associate professor at the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, explained. He added that Western nations have “seriously underestimated” Russia as a global economic player. There are no solutions that could dramatically reduce Russia’s income from exports, he concluded.

Any new restrictions are unlikely to have a sizable impact on the Russian economy, a member of the business union Delovaya Rossiya, Aleksey Khizhnyak, said, commenting on the latest ban on Russian diamonds announced by the European Council (EC). Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said last week that the diamond embargo was “predictable,” emphasizing that “there are ways to circumvent these sanctions, and they will be realized.”

Operation Prosperity Guardian, the American-led coalition to defend shipping through the Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden from Houthi attacks is showing major cracks just as it is forming. At the same time, the latest rash of drone strikes on commercial vessels appears to have spread far from Yemen's shores, to waters off India.

A total of twenty countries have agreed to take part in the multi-national naval security coalition, according to the Pentagon earlier this week, and some of those participants don't want to be named. One of the biggest issues is that of those 20, only a fraction will supply actual ships or other major assets to help the cause. In fact, many are just sending a handful of personnel. This is especially problematic now that Spain, Italy, and France have rejected the U.S. demand that their vessels fall under U.S. Navy command while deployed as part of the security operation.

According to Reuters, Spain is now stating they will only agree to a NATO or EU-led operation. Italy's frigate Virginio Fasan would still deploy to the region, but it would not do so as part of Operation Prosperity Guardian. Meanwhile, France is still going to participate, but it will not allow its vessels to come under U.S. command. This is a big problem as these countries, all NATO members, have highly capable ships with robust air defense capabilities to send. Regardless of how many countries agree to take part, this highly resource-intensive enterprise will need warships, and capable ones at that.

While wrangling any multi-national coalition for a tumultuous operation like this is never easy, these developments among America's closest allies are certainly setbacks. They also come as it appears that the threat to shipping is expanding far beyond the Bab el-Mandeb and its more immediate surroundings.

Just hours ago, a Liberian-flagged chemical tanker M/V Chem Pluto that has ties to Israel was struck by a drone while sailing in the Indian Ocean, roughly 120 miles to the southwest of the Indian port city of Veraval.

According to ABC News, Ambrey, a prolific security contractor that provides armed guards and other services to commercial vessels, said the drone stuck the stern of the ship and a fire was ignited, but was eventually put out without injuries to the ship's crew. The ship has structural damage and has taken on some water as a result of the attack. It was heading from Saudi Arabia to India when it was struck. The Indian Navy responded to the ship's distress call with a maritime patrol aircraft and a warship.

You can read all about Ambrey's operations, and how private contractors operate aboard commercial vessels passing through the Bab el-Mandeb in our recent feature here.

Veraval is 1,200 miles from Yemen's shore. This is much farther than any previous attack on shipping by the Houthis. It's possible a new capability was put into play, but that would require satellite man-in-the-loop connectivity, which is more complex than anything we have seen them use in the past. Staging an attack from a nearby ship would be much easier, but that is also a more complex overall undertaking than what we have seen from them in the past, which have been extremely localized operations. While there is nothing definitive in terms of a 'smoking gun' at this point, this attack points more toward Iran. Iran and Israel have been fighting a low-key anti-shipping battle. It's something we have reported on for years, and Iran uses one-way attack drones for these targeted operations.

These tit-for-tat strikes have occurred throughout the Middle East, including around the Gulf of Oman. Iran has an increasingly large flotilla of ships capable of, or specifically designed/adapted, to launch drones of increasingly complexity, especially long-range one-way attack types. Shahed-136 derivatives that have man-in-the-loop capabilities that allow them to hit moving targets have been used in these strikes, among other types. Still, those attacks require a controller within line-of-sight of the drone, which would be on the coast if the target isn't too far out to see, or, in cases like this, a ship in the same general area as the target. Other potential concepts of operations exist to pull something like this off, but these are some key issues to consider based on established and widely-employed capabilities.

Drawing a clear line between the Houthis and their benefactors, Iran, is impossible. If this was indeed an Iranian launched operation, the context of these sporadic strikes on Israeli-related shipping cannot be viewed in the context as in the past, prior to the Houthis launching their anti-shipping campaign to avenge the Palestinians.

White House national security spokeswoman Adrienne Watson stated the following yesterday, according to CBS News: “We know that Iran was deeply involved in planning the operations against commercial vessels in the Red Sea. This is consistent with Iran’s long-term materiel support and encouragement of the Houthis’ destabilizing actions in the region."

If Iran plans on jumping more directly into these types of operations and using their flotilla built seemingly for this exact application, it would be seen like a major escalation. It would also make providing security for naval traffic all that much harder. The northern end of the Indian Ocean is a vast place. This is especially true considering that the U.S. military and its rickety coalition cannot do this yet even in the relatively tight confines of the Bab el-Mandeb and its approaches.

This is all conjecture at this point and there are other, although far less likely, potential explanations. Still, it could very well be that Operation Prosperity Guardian may have even more on its hands than it already is struggling to deal with.

We should remember the now modern proverb of Nixon-era economic advisor Herb Stein to the effect that what cannot go on (without destroying the nation), simply will not go on.

In some sense, the country for recent years has been cruising on the fumes from prior and likely better wiser generations and institutions. In 2024, the tab for our current apathy, toxic politics, and incompetence will come due.

So next year we will likely see the climax to a number of current dangerous ideas, events, and forces, which finally will either overwhelm us or be addressed and remedied. We live in a Neronian age but can recover if we first understand how we got here and the nature of the suicide we are committing.

In 2023, it became clear, to even the most loyal supporters of the Biden administration, that the U.S. has simply lost or indeed forfeited American deterrence abroad. Our enemies do not fear us; our friends do not trust us; and neutrals do not care either way.

After the 2021 Kabul debacle, the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2023 brazen Chinese spy balloon’s uncontested trajectory over the United States, the recent Hamas invasion of Israel, the serial Iranian-fueled terrorist attacks on U.S. installations in the Middle East, and the terrorist Houthis’ veritable absorption of the Red Sea, many of America’s opportunistic enemies drew conclusions and adopted strategies that would have been previously unthinkable.

Either adversaries will be so emboldened to start regional wars—an impotent Iran now brags it will block the entire Mediterranean—or a United States will be shocked into action and have to deter Iran, the Houthis, and Islamic terrorism, while dealing with an opportunistic China eager to annex Taiwan, and Russia determined to finish off Ukraine.

Those challenges will force the military to staunch its recruitment hemorrhaging, rectify low morale, and rearm. Such rebooting in turn will require discarding the woke agenda, stopping the DEI proselytizing and virtue signaling, and returning to a meritocracy focused on military preparedness and battlefield efficacy.

Since January 2021, the Biden administration has flagrantly and unapologetically dismantled federal immigration law. It destroyed the border as we once knew it. It has already greenlighted more than 8 million illegal entrants—with another quarter-million entering each month.

No one in government has offered any projected costs to states and federal agencies of offering health, food, housing, legal, and education subsidies to millions—who broke the law by entering the U.S. and continue to do violate it while residing unlawfully here. Is that the sign of a promising American citizen—that the first thing he does upon entering America is to break his host’s law?

Incredibly, no one has even explained to Americans why millions of illegal aliens are exempt from the vaccine mandates, background checks, and adherence to the law that is demanded of U.S. citizens and legal immigrants. We will soon demand “real” IDs of American citizen airline travelers, while we fly illegal aliens all over the states without any identification?

In fact, those who blew up the border can’t honestly even explain to the American people why they did so. Was it to ensure future (or even present) political constituents? Cheap labor? To ensure higher taxes to pay for more government services and to “spread the wealth?” Obeyance to the diversity/equity/inclusion lobbies? To make up for fleeing blue-state population?

The United States has now exceeded, both in real numbers and in percentages, all past numbers of non-native born American residents—at a time when civic education, the idea of the melting pot, and adherence to assimilation have never been more under assault.

In 2024, either the border will close, or the United States will suffer radical political realignments, sheer chaos in our major cities, protests from Americans furious over the complete flaunting of federal law by their own elected officials, and a likely impeachment of Joe Biden for deliberately forsaking his oath to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States.”

The October 7 Hamas invasion of Israel and premodern massacring of nearly 1,200 Jews—and the virulent anti-Semitism that swept our elite campuses and big cities even before the October 27 Israeli Defense Forces’ retaliatory invasion of Gaza—was a wakeup call about the racialized hatred and anti-Semitism now endemic on the Left.

Campus protestors dropped the prior protestations that they were not anti-Semitic in their hatred of Israel. Instead, they now call out Jews by name. They disrupt their homes and businesses, regardless of their views on Zionism. Pro-Hamas protestors feel free to harass Jews, and with impunity and arrogance chant genocidal chants promising the destruction of Israel and its Jewish population.

The main campus culprits for these sudden unabashed hatreds are tripartite. First, wealthy, mostly white leftist students—increasingly as ignorant of history as they are arrogant in their zealotry—feel it pays psychological and careerist dividends on campus to mouth orthodoxies of hating Israel and de facto siding with the Hamas killers.

Most have no idea of the Hamas charter, where flows the Jordan River, or what the British Mandate for Palestine or the Balfour Declaration were. Few of the loudest could never even find Jordan, Israel, the West Bank, or Gaza on a map. No matter: being heard and seen on campus hating Israel is considered a necessary fad like 1970s bellbottoms or pet rocks.

Second, huge numbers of full-tuition-paying Middle-Eastern visiting students and green-card holders, along with Gulf-fueled and endowed faculty, assume that they are exempt from any legal consequences. So they often deface the federal monuments of their hosts, shut down traffic, swarm Jews on campus and in the street, break the law, and battle with police—with absolute impunity.

Third, just as startling are the undisguised hatreds emanating from radical diversity/equity/inclusion students and faculty. As the declared oppressed, they too feel exempt from any charge that they are mouthing racist and anti-Semitic venom, as they conflate Israel with the now maligned stereotyped “white” people.

The apogee of such extremism was evident in the congressional testimony of three ethically challenged Ivy-League presidents. They reminded the nation that no campus president would unequivocally condemn, much less punish, any anti-Semites on a campus, who openly called for the destruction of Israel and its Jewish population. And they lied about “free speech” constraints on their punishment of mainstreaming anti-Semitic and genocidal threats—given they routinely expel, censure, and variously punish all sorts of “hate speech,” but only if it is directed against their own DEI constituencies.

Our top universities are facing a perfect storm. Declining pools of students, crushing student loan debt, spiraling tuition and room and board costs, administrative bloat, defecting donors, and the public’s distrust of such people being entrusted with their children’s higher education, will all soon lead to a general reexamination of the very need of these universities in the first place, at least as they are presently constituted.

Their racialist admissions, hiring, retention, and promotion protocols are destroying meritocracy. Their mediocre curricula, grade inflation, and campus polarization have convinced the public that they are no longer deserving of the many taxpayer indulgences that shield campuses from market realities—such as massive federal research grants and subsidies, tax-free billions of dollars in private donations, tax-free endowment income in the tens of billions of dollars, and taxpayer subsidized $2 trillion in student loans.

So insulated are these atolls of privilege that they cannot recognize growing public anger over the damage they are doing to the country. Iconic Harvard University cannot even fire its DEI president Claudine Gay, despite serial instances in her own past of plagiarism (which prompted Harvard’s sycophantic board to defend her by embracing a new euphemism— “duplicative language” as if to signify the tiny clerical lapse of stealing the ideas and prose of others).

In 2024, radical changes in university administration and values will begin to be made, or higher education will face a reckoning from the public and a newly elected government.

Currently, Colorado has tentatively removed Donald Trump from its 2024 ballot on the specious grounds that he is an “insurrectionist.” Thus, the state insists that he is subject to the 14th Amendment, Section 3 clause of 1868, that calls for the disbarment from future government employment or service those former federal officials and employees who had joined the Confederacy.

Aside from the misapplication of the spirt and letter of that post-Civil War legislation, those responsible for erasing Trump know that he has never been charged with, much less convicted of “insurrection. And he never will be.

They understand that half the country knows the January 6 “riot” was the work of unarmed, overzealous, and buffoonish protestors, who broke the law by entering the Capitol, but otherwise had no master insurrectionary plan. And the majority surrounding the Capitol did in fact obey the president’s call to protest “peacefully” and “patriotically.”

The left privately understands that their latest weaponization of government follows their “Russian collusion hoax,” their “laptop disinformation” farce, their two politicized impeachments, their performance-art Mar-a-Lago documents raid, and thus are all part of a systematic degradation of our campaigns, elections, and political customs, tradition, and discourse.

A jaded public knows too well that such punitive measures never applied to the 2016 Hillary Clinton crimes of destroying subpoenaed emails and devices, or the FBI’s illegal alteration of FISA documents or its contracting out social media to suppress news stories, or its hiring of a foreign national Christopher Steele, who compiled a fake “dossier” to destroy the candidacy of Donald Trump.

A majority of Americans further know that had Donald Trump not chosen to run for office in 2024, state and federal prosecutors such as the publicity-seeking and partisan Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and Fani Willis would never have indicted him.

All privately know that the entire Biden family, including the President, could just as easily be indicted on state and local felonies, but the Biden consortium finds itself exempt both for its leftist ideology and its current control of the Department of Justice.

We will be in entirely new and completely dangerous territory. The likely Republican nominee who currently leads incumbent president Joe Biden will be for most of 2024 the constant target of a coordinated state and local Soviet-like effort to destroy his candidacy before the voters can even vote for or against him in the November election.

The United States 2023 annual budget deficit is about $1.7 trillion; the nation is burdened by a $34 trillion national debt—even though the federal government since 2021 has raised all sorts of new income and excise taxes.

The era of printing money, zero interest rates, “modern monetary theory,” and spending wildly is drawing to a close. The mounting interest on the national debt is now crowding out optional but soon essential annual federal spending. At some point soon, one generation of Americans is going to have to exercise spending restraint or accept a continuing decline in its living standards.

In sum, in 2024, we will either see the destruction of presidential electoral politics as we have known them or a complete repudiation of lawfare. The current new normal that the party in power indicts the leading candidate of the opposition is not sustainable or compatible with the idea of America.

Either the military will have to deter dramatically our growing number of opportunistic enemies, or it will descend into something like the French army between the world wars—plagued by ideology, ossified brass, corruption, mediocrity, misplaced investments, and bankrupt strategies.

If there are not radical changes in higher education, our Ivy League and self-identified elite campuses will go the way of Bud-Light, Disney, and Target—once premier brands reduced to red ink and laughing-stock caricatures.

The United States is cracking under 8 million illegal entries; it cannot sustain another year and 2 million more illegal entrants—or a total of 55-60 million foreign-born residents, with no idea of how many are U.S. citizens, illegal aliens, or green card holders–or how many are employable, or free of criminal records or in need of massive federal and state subsidies.

In 2024, the U.S. will begin to see that to meet its spiraling debt, it will either keep inflating its currency, or slash spending, or raise even further taxes to the degree that even the lower middle class will have to pay 50 percent of their income in state and federal taxes, or renounce its debt, and thus go full-Third World.

If what we saw after October 7, or the wild and out-of-control reign of weaponized local and state prosecutors, or what we watch nightly on television at the border, or the paralyses we witness abroad of our military, or the breezy way in which our officials promise groups here and abroad billions of dollars in easy money, continues into 2024, then the country as we knew it will become unrecognizable.

Pope Francis approves blessings for same-sex couples — if the rituals don’t resemble marriage

ROME — Pope Francis has formally approved allowing priests to bless same-sex couples, with a new document explaining a radical change in Vatican policy by insisting that people seeking God’s love and mercy shouldn’t be subject to “an exhaustive moral analysis” to receive it.

The document from the Vatican’s doctrine office, released Monday, elaborates on a letter Francis sent to two conservative cardinals that was published in October.

In that preliminary response, Francis suggested such blessings could be offered under some circumstances if they didn’t confuse the ritual with the sacrament of marriage.

The new document repeats that rationale and elaborates on it, reaffirming that marriage is a lifelong sacrament between a man and a woman.

And it stresses that blessings should not be conferred at the same time as a civil union, using set rituals or even with the clothing and gestures that belong in a wedding.

It offers an extensive definition of the term “blessing” in Scripture to insist that people seeking a transcendent relationship with God and looking for his love and mercy should not be subject to “an exhaustive moral analysis” as a precondition for receiving it.

“Ultimately, a blessing offers people a means to increase their trust in God,” the document said. “The request for a blessing, thus, expresses and nurtures openness to the transcendence, mercy, and closeness to God in a thousand concrete circumstances of life, which is no small thing in the world in which we live.”

He added: “It is a seed of the Holy Spirit that must be nurtured, not hindered.”

The Vatican holds that marriage is an indissoluble union between man and woman. As a result, it has long opposed same-sex marriage.

And in 2021, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said flat-out that the church couldn’t bless the unions of two men or two women because “God cannot bless sin.”

That document created an outcry, one it appeared even Francis was blindsided by even though he had technically approved its publication. Soon after it was published, he removed the official responsible for it and set about laying the groundwork for a reversal.

In the new document, the Vatican said the church must shy away from “doctrinal or disciplinary schemes, especially when they lead to a narcissistic and authoritarian elitism whereby instead of evangelizing, one analyzes and classifies others, and instead of opening the door to grace, one exhausts his or her energies in inspecting and verifying.”

It stressed that people in “irregular” unions — gay or straight — are in a state of sin. But it said that shouldn’t deprive them of God’s love or mercy.

“Thus, when people ask for a blessing, an exhaustive moral analysis should not be placed as a precondition for conferring it,” the document said.

Iceland volcano eruption, earthquakes weaken, but scientists warn of lurking danger

Iceland will "see what the forces of nature have in store,” the president said.

A volcano that began erupting on Monday in Iceland continued to spew lava on Tuesday and was accompanied by hundreds of earthquakes across the magma flow on the country's southwestern coast, officials said.

The volcanic activity in Sundhnúksgígar on the Reykjanes peninsula appeared to be diminishing, according to Iceland's Meteorological Office. New aerial images analyzed Tuesday showed that there are now three vents belching lava southeast of Stóra-Skógfell, down from five at the start of the eruption in the Fagradalsfjall volcanic system, officials said.

"The lava flow is estimated to be about one-quarter of what it was at the beginning of the eruption," the Meteorological Office said in a statement Tuesday.

A third of the original fissure measuring 2 1/5 miles long remained active on Tuesday, officials.

PHOTO: Volcano eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula, about 3 km north of Grindavik, Iceland, following an earthquake on Dec. 18, 2023.

"The lava fountains are also lower than at the start of the eruption, reaching about 30 meters [about 100 feet] at their highest," the Meteorological Office said.

At least 320 earthquakes, one measuring a magnitude 4.1, have occurred since the volcano blew Monday night, the Meteorological Office said Tuesday.

But since the eruption, seismic activity in the area has "significantly decreased," according to the Meteorological Office. Since noon on Tuesday, there had only been 10 earthquakes recorded in the region, officials said.

Following the volcanic eruption in Sundhnúksgígar, the land around the Svartsengi power station, a geothermal power plant, sank about 5 centimeters, or around 2 inches, officials said. Before the eruption, the land had risen by about 35 centimeters, or roughly 14 inches, due to the magma channel that had been building since November 10.

"It is too early to determine if magma will continue to accumulate under Svartsengi and whether the land will start to rise again," the Meteorological Office said.

The eruption north of the town of Grindavik started about 10 p.m. local time Monday, the Meteorological office announced in an alert on its website, noting, "It can be seen on webcams and seems to be located close to Hagafell, about 3 km [about 1.8 miles] north of Grindavík."

An "earthquake swarm" started about an hour before and eruption, the Meteorological Office said. The intensity of the eruption began to decrease within hours, officials said in an update about four hours later.

"The fact that the activity is decreasing already is not an indication of how long the eruption will last, but rather that the eruption is reaching a state of equilibrium," the Meteorological Office said.

The affected area near Grindavík, a fishing town of about 3,700 residents that was evacuated in November in preparation for the volcanic blast, remained closed off by the country's Civil Defense, President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson said on social media Tuesday.

"We now wait to see what the forces of nature have in store," he said. "We are prepared and remain vigilant."

While the eruption continues at Sundhnúksgíga, there is an increased likelihood that more vents may open along the original fissure as well as further north or south, officials said.

Looking back at the lead-up to the eruption revealed that there were approximately 90 minutes between the first indicators and the start of the eruption, the Meteorological Office said, adding that the warning time for new vent openings could be very short.

The Meteorological Office said the eruption was located on "the dyke intrusion that formed in November." The eruption fissure began expanding southward, with the southern end of it near Sundhnúkur, officials said.

Scientists estimated the lava discharge from the volcanic fissure to be "hundreds of cubic meters per second," adding that the biggest lava fountains were on the northern end. The lava was spreading laterally, the office said.

Local weather officials had warned in November there was a "significant likelihood" of a volcanic eruption. More than 20,000 quakes have shaken the area since late October, officials have said.

At the time, officials declared a state of emergency near the Mount Fagradalsfjall volcano on the sparsely populated Reykjanes Peninsula.

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, leading the Rothschild banking dynasty, advocates for a global shift to cashless societies, heavily reliant on AI governed by the World Economic Forum (WEF). This move aligns with the establishment of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism (CIC) during COVID-19, aiming to merge corporate power with government influence under environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, raising critical concerns about future financial autonomy and privacy in a digital era.

In a startling revelation, the head of the Rothschild banking dynasty has mandated a global shift towards cashless societies, boasting that AI, under the control of the World Economic Forum (WEF), will soon dictate public financial behaviors.

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild champions these WEF-controlled AI robots as crucial for creating a more equitable world. During the peak of the COVID pandemic, the Rothschild family established the Council for Inclusive Capitalism (CIC), embodying many of the globalist ideals warned about in alternative media.

Brandon Smith of Alt-Market extensively covered the CIC, asserting in his piece, “What is ‘The Council for Inclusive Capitalism’? Is It The New World Order?” that it aims to merge major corporations with global influence into government entities, forming a technocratic overlord network. The Council, he claims, represents the tangible embodiment of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.

Smith further explains that the Council’s role involves both rewarding and sanctioning business sectors based on their alignment with globalist ideals, adherence to progressive social values, and commitment to climate change goals.

Contrary to its official title, the “Council for Inclusive Capitalism” was actually inaugurated on December 8, 2020, as the “Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican.” This partnership between leading investment and business leaders and the Vatican symbolizes the urgency of merging market and moral imperatives to reform capitalism into a powerful force for human good. Guided by the moral compass of Pope Francis and Cardinal Peter Turkson, and inspired by the moral imperative of all faiths, the Council invites companies of all sizes to leverage the private sector’s potential for building a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable economic foundation for the world.

The CIC’s website states that its members commit to actionable goals aligned with the World Economic Forum’s pillars for sustainable value creation – People, Planet, Principles of Governance, and Prosperity – and promote the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The founder and CEO of the CIC is Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, with her third husband being the British financier Sir Evelyn Robert de Rothschild. They were introduced by their mutual friend Henry Kissinger at the 1998 Bilderberg Group conference in Scotland.

In a 2020 article, geopolitical analyst and strategic risk consultant F. William Engdahl briefly mentioned some of Forester’s other notable acquaintances. Noteworthy among them, according to the flight logs of convicted child sex trafficker and Mossad agent Jeffrey Epstein, is the name “de Rothschild, Lynn Forester.”

In 1991, before marrying Sir Evelyn, Lynn Forester generously allowed her British friend, Ghislaine Maxwell, full use of one of her Manhattan apartment properties following the alleged murder of Maxwell’s father, British press magnate and Mossad agent, Robert Maxwell.

Today, Ghislaine Maxwell awaits trial for child sex trafficking complicity as Jeffrey Epstein’s partner. Until recently, Maxwell maintained the Manhattan address of Lady Lynn for registering TerraMar, a non-profit she and Epstein founded in 2012, supposedly to save our oceans. Following Epstein’s arrest, she swiftly dissolved the non-profit. Among TerraMar’s donors was the Clinton Foundation, leading to another connection.

Lady Lynn has been a long-time friend of Hillary Clinton, whose husband, Bill, has also been linked to Epstein’s private jet, the Lolita Express. Lynn and her new husband, Sir Evelyn, were so close to the Clintons that they spent part of their honeymoon as guests at the White House. Lady Lynn later became a major fundraiser for Hillary’s presidential bids in 2008 and 2016, forming a so-called “bundler” group.

Some might find it surprising that Lady Lynn’s CIC would associate with the Vatican, but the Rothschild family’s relationship with the Vatican dates back to the 1800s.

Announcing the “historic new partnership” between the CIC and the Vatican, Lady Lynn stated that the Council would heed Pope Francis’s warning to listen to “the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor” and respond to society’s demands for a more equitable and sustainable growth model.

It seems ironic when a woman married into one of the world’s wealthiest families pontificates about “the cry of the poor.” The first global AI safety summit took place on November 1 and 2 at Bletchley Park, UK. On the first day, Lady Lynn appeared on CNBC to discuss her expectations from the Summit. She called for a “joint declaration of the private and public sector for the common good.”

Lady Lynn advocated for a “radical reform of the economy,” starting with artificial intelligence. She redefined capitalism in her terms, stating businesses must declare why capitalism, as a system for all people, is the best. She emphasized that free markets are dictated by moral and ethical standards, as stated by Adam Smith, often identified as the father of modern capitalism. However, Smith never used the term “capitalism,” preferring “commercial society” to highlight his belief that economics is just one component of human condition. Smith’s currents run through Karl Marx’s works, who argued for a workers’ revolution to replace capitalism with a communist system.

In a CNBC interview, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild faced a pointed remark from the interviewer, challenging her view with a bold assertion: “Socialism and artificial intelligence are the real dangers… the best path to prosperity is free market capitalism.” Brandon Smith of Alt-Market took this further, elaborating on the resistance Rothschild encountered:

Rothschild’s narrative met with skepticism from her interviewers, forcing her to indirectly admit: AI will require an “economic reform,” implying the end of free markets, with government/corporate partners stepping in to control everything, all in the name of the people and the ‘greater good,’ of course. But it’s all a charade.

Artificial intelligence, like climate change, is rapidly becoming another fabricated excuse for global centralization. The Council for Inclusive Capitalism (CIC), along with institutions like the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the UN, have claimed in recent years that “someone” needs to step in to moderate AI, to prevent governments from abusing its seemingly limitless power. In other words: Problem, Reaction, Solution.

The globalists create a problem out of thin air (AI), then suggest it’s a much greater boon (or threat) to humanity than it actually is, and then offer their services as the fair and benevolent arbiters of the technology and its effects. Rothschild herself hints at this in the interview, asserting that “capitalists” will need to realign their priorities to social causes in the wake of AI. As stated earlier, it’s just ESG in another form.

Everywhere you look, there is this scheme to reduce farming, which will reduce population. That was the whole theory of Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) that the population would surpass the ability to grow food. That is the agenda. Wind generators or solar panels consume one-third of the farmland worldwide. This is what has inspired this thinking that we MUST reduce the population. War is a great tool for that, which is one reason they are pushing World War.

They insist that industrial agriculture, which is employed by the majority of the developed world, is creating climate change. The U.S. food system contributes nearly 20% of the nation’s carbon dioxide emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that agricultural land use contributes 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Then, they add the embodied energy required for industrial agriculture, and they claim this gets worse. The manufacture and use of pesticides and fertilizers, fuel and oil for tractors, equipment, trucking, and shipping, electricity for lighting, cooling, and heating, and emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and every possible greenhouse gas they can think of, increases the impact up to between 25% to 30% which is the number used by John Kerry.

In other words, they want to reduce agriculture, shipping, refrigeration, air conditions, and turn off heat in the winter, and reduce the population by 30-40%, and maybe they would be satisfied. They get to impose their tyrannical policies with absolutely ZERO evidence to support their theory because they ignore that natural cycles have existed for millions of years. Climate has always changed. The temperatures have NOT exceeded historical norms. The data from NYC shows that we have NOT exceeded the highs of 1932 and the days of the Dust Bowl. The mainstream media only repeats what they are told and NEVER does any mainstream media dare to investigate anything.

I have talked to you about China and yet America embraces China their enemy and they build them up that later China shall come against many and destroy many because of the finances you have provided for them. That was not my wisdom, that was not my knowledge. It was not my wisdom nor my knowledge when you gave your secrets to a country that worships a false god and they have sold them to other countries and become superior. Oh how foolish man is. etc..

The Chinese Communist Party, led by China's President Xi Jinping, has, over the years, by espionage, intellectual property theft, hacking, spying and militarizing artificial islands, initiated a bitter conflict between China and the US.

China appears determined to "neutralize" states that might challenge its claim to the South and East China Seas. If successful, China's naval assets will dominate a large portion of the world's commercial sea lanes, if the US is unable -- or unwilling -- to knit together a serious formal military alliance of democratic states in the Indo-Pacific.

Rather than fight a war, China apparently is hoping to envelop the US in Latin America by establishing Chinese-controlled ports and numerous bilateral Belt and Road Initiative projects in Cuba, Panama, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Brazil and Argentina.

China is fully engaged in a multi-front war against the United States. This "unrestricted warfare" against America has several dimensions: technological, space, military, political, economic, digital, psychological, informational and diplomatic. In fact, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) openly declared a "people's war" against the US in a May 14, 2019 edition of the People's Daily.

The CCP, led by Chinese President Xi Jinping, has, over the years, by espionage, intellectual property theft, hacking, spying and militarizing artificial islands, initiated a bitter conflict between China and the US.

CCP propaganda, however, claims that China is supposedly only responding to America's instigation of a "new cold war" against the People's Republic of China (PRC), depicted as a policy to "contain China's rise."

The two all-encompassing themes of the CCP's offensive are China's Global Security Initiative (GSI) and a Global Developmental Initiative (GDI).

The GSI was fully unveiled in the September 2022 meeting of the "Heads of State Council" of the Chinese-led Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Xi personally defined the GSI as a global alternative to "bloc politics" such as NATO.

China's proliferating ballistic missiles, tipped with nuclear warheads, appear intended as a checkmate deterrence against any sustained US-led effort to oppose a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. China already has a formidable array of weaponry based in its coastal provinces opposite Taiwan, to deter the US from engaging in armed conflict with China in the Western Pacific.

China also has more than 28,000 migrants who have illegally crossed the US southern border – many clean-cut men of military age, unaccompanied by family, who show up in groups. One cannot just leave China the way one leaves the US. It is difficult, therefore, not to suspect that these men have been sent by the CCP as sleeper cell saboteurs, waiting to inflict small but deadly strikes on American infrastructure, such as electric grids, airports, water reservoirs, communications towers, bridges, tunnels, shopping malls, apartment complexes, and so forth.

Recently a secret illegal laboratory, "filled with infectious agents, medical waste and hundreds of mice bioengineered 'to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus,'" was discovered in Reedley California when a municipal code enforcement officer saw a garden hose attached to a "building presumed to be vacant".

According to Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba, "They never had a business license.... The city was completely unaware that they were... operating under the cover of night."

The lab, it turned out, was owned by a fugitive, Jiabei Zhu, who has ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), now active in more than 155 countries, was created ostensibly toward accomplishing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, including ending poverty, establishing food security. In practice, the BRI is assuring education warfare against the West, as well as presumably helping developing nations cultivate acceptance for the Chinese Communist Party model of governance. Many of the BRI projects have turned out to be debt-traps: China lends a developing country funds for a Chinese-built infrastructure project; then, if the country is unable to repay the debt, China offers to accept instead a port, airbase, rare earth minerals or other assets in lieu of repayment.

China also appears determined to emerge as the world's leader in critical emerging technologies. China already is leading in some of these military applicable technologies such as: hypersonic flight, electric batteries and radio-frequency communications. One report claims that China already maintains a lead over the US in 37 out of 44 critical technologies.

In March and August of 2020, China threatened to restrict exports of life-saving medicines to the US.

Chinese operatives have been digging up genetically modified seeds in the US Midwest, for transfer to China.

China's war against the West also includes a massive effort to steal intellectual property from US and European research laboratories. This dimension of China's war is run by the CPC's United Front Work Department. The feel-good name of this CCP agency is the Chinese People's Association of Friendship with Foreign Countries. Its purpose is to facilitate the transfer of vital technologies and expertise from the West to China by creating an atmosphere of cooperation. This CCP front group's objective is to implement a global approach to acquire any defense-related data that might serve China's goals.

Beijing's intelligence collection activities include the "Thousand Talents Program," which recruits American scientists by offering research grants to study in China, and by using Confucius Institutes on university campuses to recruit talented students. The Thousand Talents Program ostensibly demonstrates to faculty and impressionable students the superiority of Chinese culture and why it is praiseworthy to embrace China's accomplishments. In reality, these CCP institutions seem, like TikTok, to be indoctrination devices, to program academics to denigrate America and support China,

An effort to close down Confucius Institutes in the US has apparently been ineffective: they simply changed their name and resumed operation. They are now also infiltrating children's education, from high schools down to kindergarten.

A darker side of these all-out intelligence-collection operations involves attempts to coerce Chinese-American professionals to cooperate with the CCP by pressuring them to return to China or threatening their family members who still reside in China.

There are, of course, many documented cases of agents of the CCP offering Americans "financial incentives" in exchange for "access" to people, information or both, as Peter Schweizer details in his book, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.

Theft of intellectual property also includes all companies in China being legally obligated to have Community Party officials embedded in their workforces, including in joint ventures of Chinese companies with Western companies. Such joint ventures are also required to transfer to the Chinese "partner" any privately produced advances in critical technologies.

China's theft of US technologies and co-opting of US human resources are also being aided by a vast network of digital hackers, described by FBI Director Christopher Wray as "a cyberespionage program so vast that it is bigger than all of its major competitors combined."

The diplomatic and economic dimension of China's total war strategy against the US involves establishing rival political and economic blocs such as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). BRICS is designed to draw non-Western developing countries to align their economic futures with China's politically authoritarian planned economy model as opposed to the West's democratic free-market model. BRICS has recently expanded its membership, which now includes Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saydi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. China, the dominant voice in BRICS, projects a disingenuous benevolent image to its members as well as to the so-called "Global South," especially to impoverished countries in Africa. The ultimate objective of China's "Global South" strategy is to supplant Western economic and diplomatic dominance, and China is facilitating this goal by challenging the US dollar as the world's reserve currency.

China's face to neighboring states is even more threatening. Chinese diplomats display a coercive attitude toward the states of Southeast Asia with which China has conflicting territorial and maritime claims. This pattern of aggressive behavior is often referred to by critics as "wolf warrior diplomacy."

For example, China has exhibited belligerent behavior toward Japan, Australia and the Philippines. The Philippine government has accused Chinese "maritime militia" ships of swarming the Philippine-claimed Scarborough Shoal.

In 2020, Chinese Coast Guard vessels rammed Vietnamese fishing boats in waters off the Paracel Islands.

From ancient times, Chinese Emperors assumed that nearby states were tributary societies, using a China-centric pejoratively referred to as "nan yang," (South Seas/Southeast Asia.) Vietnam, for instance, was once referred to as "Annam," the implication being, pacified southern regions.

China's ambitious space program is also geared to create -- entirely separate from the US -- a rival constellation of global positioning satellites, a space station, and -- we are not making this up -- claims to territory on the earth's moon and ultimately on Mars. Beijing also appears poised to challenge the US in near-earth space by having launched an array of anti-satellite weapons with the capability of blinding America's satellites used collect and transmit intelligence.

While the People's Liberation Army's Strategic Rocket Force is not yet on par with the US or Russian militaries in its quantity of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), in the South China and East China Seas, Beijing has recently upgraded its missile deployment with the DF-17 (Dong Feng) a hypersonic longer range missile. The CCP plans to produce and deploy hundreds more ICBMs capable of striking the US mainland.

Silos for China's additional ICBMs are already under construction in northwest China at Hami in Xinjiang Province and near Yumen in Gansu Province. China's growing ICBM nuclear warhead-equipped strategic rocket force appears to be intended as a checkmate deterrence against any sustained US-led effort to oppose a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. China already has a formidable array of weaponry based in Chinese coastal provinces opposite Taiwan, to deter the US from opposing an armed conflict with China in the Western Pacific.

China's war against the US further embraces a prominent degree of deception. While US policy makers are gaming out strategies to limit China's aggression in the Pacific, Beijing is pursuing a policy of encirclement of the US. The CCP's overall gameplan resembles the Chinese game of "Go" where two opposing players attempt to surround each other. Unlike Chess, the winner conquers without seizing pieces; it triumphs by suffocating the adversary. Rather than fight a war, China apparently is hoping to envelop the US in Latin America by establishing Chinese-controlled ports and numerous bilateral Belt and Road bilateral projects in Cuba, Panama, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Argentina.

Investors across the globe need to understand that central banks are preparing to print money and buy everything in 2024. This will have a major impact on all kinds of markets.

December 20 (King World News) – Greggory Mannarino, writing for the Trends Journal: Here we are now at the end of 2023, with a world economy coming apart faster than any other time in history and a middle class which is rapidly being erased.

Here we are now at the end of 2023, with global debt surging ever higher, being compounded by out-of-control deficits and RECORD high “government” spending.

Here we are now at the end of 2023, seeing a world being deliberately pushed ever closer into a neo-feudal system of hierarchy, and the biggest transfer of wealth ever. A situation in which every day more and more people are being made to succumb to direct dependency on the current system, a system which itself is destroying them.

And here we are now at the end of 2023 with the stock market at new record highs!

For any person who follows my work the answer is blatantly obvious. First, there is no connection or correlation whatsoever between the economy and the stock market, they are totally detached from each other. Moreover, the gap between the economy and stock market is going to get even larger moving into 2024. I have also outlined multiple times in my work that the FASTER the economy craters, the HIGHER the stock market will go.

I expect that moving into 2024, collectively and by no means coincidentally, world central banks are going to embark on what may be the end game to their final solution…

If you were to ask a central banker what is the “job” of a central bank? The answer would invariably be “to maintain price stability and full employment.” But the actual GOAL of every central bank is only one thing: to issue their single product to the world.

And the more debt any given central bank can issue or is called on to issue, by for example a “government,” the STRONGER the central bank becomes. This very mechanism is the NUMBER ONE REASON BAR NONE why global debt, which now stands at a face value of $307 Trillion, (face value, not accounting for its associated derivatives which brings this number into the MULTIPLE quadrillions).

Every single so-called developed nation on Earth, none more so than the U.S., has become a slave to its central bank, which includes its citizens. It’s central banks which run the economy, the financial markets, and the financial system itself in its entirety.

Ever since the inception of central banking, these institutions have had a single objective, to one day “OWN IT ALL.” To be both the LENDER AND BUYER of last resort.

Come 2024 central banks are planning to VASTLY increase their purchases of assets and massively inflate global debt.

Expect bond yields to drop in 2024, and more cash to make its way into the stock market. Also expect housing and real estate prices to go even higher. Expect that central bank issued notes will lose even more of their purchasing power, and expect that the world economy will deteriorate more rapidly than ever before.

Eric King: “You’ve been very excited about these projects you have in Victoria, near the Fosterville Mine, and you also picked up that asset adjacent to K92’s mine. So you have this company positioned right next door to the historic Fosterville Mine in Victoria and K92’s mine in Papua New Guinea. Everybody is excited about this drilling in Papua new Guinea that is going to unfold, but Rex Motton sinks a hole, out of the blue, in Victoria, next door to Fosterville, and comes up with this ultra high-grade discovery. How soon can you sink additional drill holes into this new discovery? Also, I spoke with K92 CEO, John Lewins, who is also a Director of Great Pacific Gold, about this ultra high-grade discovery, and he is optimistic that more high-grade intercepts will be hit with additional drilling.”

Bryan Slusarchuk: “Well, it’s an amazing discovery that Rex and his team made, Eric. As you noted, we’ve been busy over the last few months getting ready for 2024 Q1 drilling in Papua New Guinea. We have amazing projects there, a 2,100 square kilometer land package, including 130 square kilometers contiguous with (bordering) K92’s mine. So we are very excited to get started there.

In the meantime, we have had these Victorian assets for some time and have been advancing them methodically on the ground. Our COO, one of the founders of the company, Rex Motton, has spent decades in Victoria, and he knows the geology of Victoria as well or better than anybody. And, Rex, based on all of this work that had been done, had a strong conviction that we had to test a project called the Comet Prospect at a precise juncture.

Based on his knowledge of that world famous Fosterville deposit, he believed that X marked that spot for the precise point that if we were going to find another Fosterville, that was where it would be located. So he sinks this drill, the final one of 2023, and on that hole it intersected an incredibly high-grade cut of gold mineralization. It looks remarkably similar to what the Fosterville discoveries looked like several years ago. So we could not be more excited. This is one of the better discovery holes that has been drilled anywhere in the world this year.”

Eric King: “I’m looking at this old press release from the Fosterville discovery, and it’s seven meters of 159 grams per tonne of gold. You guys just hit 5 meters of 166 grams per tonne of gold, a little bit higher than Fosterville’s drill hole. So when you say there is a similarity, it’s almost identical.”

Bryan Slusarchuk: “There are so many similarities to this discovery both geologically and structurally. Rex Motton pounded the table that this was the hole that we needed to drill at Comet because it mirrored the world famous Fosterville discovery. The geology is remarkably similar to the Fosterville Mine. And he drilled a hole right into that X marks the spot, and he made an amazing discovery. The ultra-high grades will jump out at people, but for people that know the geology of that region, what will also jump out is where structurally this discovery was made, and the big implications of that. And, Eric, because we are extremely well funded, we look forward to unleashing the drills in 2024.” Great Pacific Gold, symbol GPAC in Canada and FSXLF in the US.

Hollywood Foreshadows The End Of The Old Order Of Life By Projecting Apocalyptic Horrors To Come: The Destruction And Overthrow Of America By The Evil Cabal Running The World

Funny thing this; I suppose we have all heard the phrase that the left projects itself into the world, that it presents things as they believe they will be. So I tried to find out where this concept came from, and all roads I came across lead to Victor Davis Hanson. The original story of the left projecting is from American Greatness November 14th 2021 and appears the next day in several other publications like Independent Institute and The Blade of Perseus. The concept of Projection itself is far older though and the left, center and right have accused others while they use the method.

The concept itself gained written fame when, according to a number of sources including Psychology Today, in 1895 Sigmund Freud in a letter described a patient “who tried to avoid confronting her feelings of shame by imagining that her neighbors were gossiping about her instead.” Later research suggests that it is a trait that is a byproduct of the mechanism that defends the ego, rather than the defense of ego outright. I am not sure what the mechanism itself is, but then I am not a psychologist. The theory is that people project because they have a trait or desire that is too difficult to acknowledge so they place it on someone else and it appears to be primarily subconscious yet occasionally seems to be a conscience action. They mention also that a “harmful consequence of continual projection is when the trait becomes incorporated into one’s identity” as in telling someone they cannot do something just because they themselves cannot. As narcissists tend to gravitate to projection, we can see why the elitist left tends toward it so often.

Britannica also mentions that “what is internal is seen as external. People cannot get inside the minds of others; to understand someone else’s mental life, one must project one’s own experience” and perhaps that is sufficient for now. So let’s return to Mr. Hanson’s article and quote his ideas on it. “The Left is addicted to projection—the psycho-political syndrome of attributing all of one’s own sins to one’s opponents. The woke apparently do this out of some Freudian effort to square the circle of their own guilt or sense of privilege, by fobbing off their own fearful realities onto others. It is the atheist version of confession or medieval penance” he said, and he compares the “woke” term “privilege” as in “check your privilege” indicating a system of white males having dominance over all others. Funny that it is the white political left that is the primary beneficiaries of wealth and privilege and the wealthiest zip codes are in blue states. Hanson goes on showing many instances of not just irrational but insane examples of the lefts insistence on projecting their own absurdities and evil onto their opponents and in the process showing us exactly what they are doing themselves such as denialists scream denialist and racists cry racist and fascists cry fascist.

Just a few days ago Victor Davis Hanson wrote in American Greatness that the idiot lefts cry of “Trump Will Destroy Democracy” and that is the result of them projecting themselves onto Trump. That is why they are so afraid of Donald John, because they see their own evil intentions transferred onto Trumps image; they see his actions to stop their evil as evil itself. “Almost nightly now TV anchors warn of a dictatorship. Columnists predict the “end of democracy.” Essayists vie to see who can become the most absurd in predicting Trump’s planned takeover America” and yet that is exactly what is happening to our once great nation right now under the New World Order radical lefts evil; real life satanic evil. the actual truth is that the “Left knows that in dictatorial fashion it has turned a federal republic into a government run wild, lawless, and in service to partisan agendas…..the Left projects itself onto Trump, and understandably finds itself all too terrifying.”

Analytic-Room ties the concept of unconscious defense to conscious offense and this particular article itself is a strong example of the left projecting itself onto others. Projection is a form of disinformation and it is the left that are pushing the agenda of total oversight and control of not only what you may watch, read or say but also over what you may think. OBEY seems to be the key word in this war on Liberty that they are waging upon We the American People.

I am going to put myself out on a limb and suggest that projection is more than just what is listed above, because in the lefts evil imaginings they also project not just what they themselves are but project future events that they are planning to initiate. Perhaps some sort of collective (they like that Marxist term) guilt reflex? Let’s see if we can come up with a few examples, such as global warming is because too much carbon is being spewed into the atmosphere by those damned “normies” that drive around while the left requires massive amounts of that to jet themselves to meetings to decry the very same type but far greater emissions. Or that they need to stop us from eating meat while they themselves indulge in BBQ delicacies at their meetings. And they claim that we are changing the weather because we eat beef and yet at the same time they fly and spray massive amounts of aluminum and other metals into the atmosphere to supposedly slow the suns heating while actually they are poisoning the planet and killing off many forms of life that they say the conservatives are destroying by hunting and eating that life. This all can be a bit confusing I admit.

They cloud seed while claiming that your SUV is changing the climate; they do mass climate warfare attacks using HAARP and other systems like microwave beams (which we have covered before) and creating storms that are unnatural in intensity, location and timing. They have been caught actively doing so by flight trackers (see MonkeyWerx for instance), satellite images or weapon beams (see Dutchsinse for example) and when caught they try to take down their platforms that communicate the war against this planet and peoples. Dutch has been all but de-platformed and Monkey recently has found massive takedowns of flight history, tracking and craft identifications lately as the evil ones do not like a light being shined onto their activities. The same goes with all of the border madness most of which is actively hidden from us (assume at least double the numbers of criminal invaders than what they admit to) and we are prosecuted if brought into the daylight. The flights running criminal invaders (foreign army personnel and human trafficking including child trafficking in reality) flights are now being hidden from easy views. As a side note, that airport hangar in Texas that is secured from observation by armed guards and strict no looking or photos with hurriedly sprayed white busses (to hide the identification of who is doing it) are ONLY WOMEN! What – our government involved in human trafficking (he said while seemingly in shock)?

Then they say human activity causes massive storms; for example the ones that hit our west coast and destroyed so much Canadian forest recently and flight data proves that huge numbers of NOAA and private companies flights flying patterns were very active prior to that cyclone Hillary that hit so hard. Way out of normal strength, path, timing and more, and it was weather warfare actions that put it there, the flight data and weather satellite images of interference patterns from HAARP like actions proves it (to say nothing of the Florida hurricanes, extreme weather over the middle east, and far more ALL WITH FLIGHT DATA showing that it was intentional weather manipulation primarily by US systems. Now, the past few days, they have been shutting down the trackers with false ID’s and deleting the flight paths from the systems. Deleting flight data that are bringing in thousands of criminals direct from overseas, deleting flight data of wartime mapping of our mostly eastern cities in ready for what exactly? No, it is not them and their war on us and planet Earth, but our wanting a steak for dinner and eggs for breakfast that is killing our planet. Let’s not even mention the Lahaina Hawaii fires, California and Canadian fires for now as that must have been natural causes or human caused global warming fires. Yeh, it must have been global warming as who could think they would do such atrocities on purpose?

This introduction to today’s column brings me to the real subject, and that is the recent movie the left has produced including monies and directions from the Kenyan and his husband Big Mike called Leave the World Behind. Many reviews have been written on it, and they mostly go over how bad or how good it is with the seeming majority panning it for bad acting, bad writing and poor plot details. That is not what I am intending to do as I did enjoy it in spite of those failings, but there is another aspect I would like to consider and that is it seems a most obvious warning to us using projections techniques of just what they have planned for our very near future. If I may, allow me to go over some of the points I found while viewing it while trying not to discuss the blow by blow action but will say the opening music is absolutely horrible. Notesride dot com had the same reaction to this movie as I had, and they put it this way; “We know Hollywood loves foreshadowing what would happen, and I believe this is exactly what this movie was created for. I hope you’re taking notes. This movie is about the end of the old order of life, which is based on a book that was released back in 2020 when the old way of life was actually destroyed.” Note that 2020 is generally considered the end of the order of life as we knew it and the Kenyan is a major player in changing that order. Remember the phrase “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” This from an admitted communist revolutionary, self described as a “neighborhood organizer” which is leftist speak for communist revolutionary.

Notice in the movie poster some symbology that may not seem obvious, but is when considered in the scope of modern Satan worship and Masonic traditions just like the 2023 White House Christmas decorations and music video. Twice in the credits the name “Ala” mentioned, which is an alter ego of Baal which is also prominent in a vertical rendering of that name in the actors credits (start with the B in Julia’s last name). The opening of the movie has the guy in bed being woken, and the number 666 is most obvious spread across the screen in the coffee mug, the dial clock and on the other side of the bed, the digital clock all showing “6”. Masonic references are in the houses details, like the all-seeing eye and mention of one of his clients talking about “a secret meeting that takes place every year during the winter solstice, hosted by the evil cabal that runs the world.”

“A few years back, one of my clients invited me and my wife to a private event. My client, well, I won’t say his name, but you’d recognize it though. He’s a celebrity. I know, nothing like that, but in the business world, he’s one of the biggest out there. So he takes me to a sub, he eventually starts in, how much he likes me and how he wishes he could invite me on a trip he’s about to go on.” Think about those same meetings in reality, they are very real with the various secret societies running things as the reference to one of the biggest business world’s people, a clear indication of the Council on Foreign Relations and like societies.

To quote from that article, “The conspiracy theory about a shadowy people running around the world is far too lazy of an explanation, especially when the truth is scary. No one is in control. As you heard for yourself, this movie openly puts it out there that those who run the world are a part of an evil cabal. He also mentions the fact that these people are warned in advance about events like this in order to prepare.

In another scene, Mahershala Ali also tells Ethan Hawke that what was going on in the movie was a three-part plan created to destroy a country. The obvious reason they’re able to warn their own people about this is because they’re the ones behind these things happening in the first place.”

This is most important to understand and as I have been saying in my columns since the beginning is there really is a combination of various secret societies out to destroy this planet and the concepts of liberty and freedom; to convert this whole planet into some sort of evil oligarchy run by the same ones that are also pushing the destruction of any form of Christianity just as our Savior said they would do. There is so much more imbedded into this movie, but let’s get to the part that they are projecting that is immediately concerning to us and that is the push for global warfare and world war three. This is the most obvious meaning when you look at it, and not like in so many other end of the world war stories, this one is saying it is all a well laid plan to destroy us. The end of the old world order and the beginning of the evil dictatorship is the meaning of the name of the movie; Leave the World Behind meaning the old order that we all know and love, especially the Christian order.

The in-your-face clues such as the t-shirts worn and the juxtaposition of them screams New World Order and Masonic themes as well as linkages to other apocalyptic movies. This movie is full of that kind of stuff and the fact that Obama liked the book so much he chose to make a movie about it and please note that the production company Higher Ground Productions is owned by Barack and Mike Obama. Barry and Mike had DIRECT control over what is included and shows just what his controllers and mentors have put into place, and he was there to make sure it was accurately shown with little chance of misunderstandings. Yes, it is really that in your face and shows just what he, Hillary, Slow Joe and others are working towards.

The magazine Variety said that the conspiracy theorist character was correct and to me, that signals that we then are indeed correct and they are admitting just that. The New York Post also said that viewers are reporting they think the movie is not all that fictional and that the movie producers and the Obama’s are sending a very clear message of just what they are planning for the world at large and the United States in particular. In an article on Joe, a UK entertainment article says that the writer of the original novel this was based on, Rumaan Alam said of the controversial ending that “explaining that the whole point was that the story couldn’t be wrapped up in a neat way because, funnily enough, that’s not what tends to happen with apocalypses and global-scale conflicts.” I find that yet another clue as to what exactly they are projecting.

So, as things progress please take note of things like mass cyber attacks, invasion by foreign nations military across our borders, pushes for war with other nations including what they are also doing to us. For instance North Korea, Iran, Yemen’s attacks on our Navy in the Red Sea, many Islamic nations threatening to bring war to our homelands and even Imams inside the US saying exactly the same thing. Please note that Barry O is also Muslim and not Christian as the official propaganda claims, and more likely satanically so. Also note that the elitists massive end times scenario bunkers and private islands and storing massive amounts of food and other provisions while at the same time trying to limit our resources to do the same. There can be no mistake exactly what they are pushing into motion and it is directly related to what Gods Prophets have been telling us for millennia now. And this movie shows it all.

A storm is brewing — a storm like none before. It threatens to engulf the world. Its outer bands already fill the skies, affecting people everywhere. The Bible forecasts mighty winds of change and terrible destruction. The full brunt of the storm hasn’t hit yet, but we are already experiencing a powerful foretaste. Confusion, division, rage, brutality, irrationality, folly, meanness, hopelessness, and war are already here and growing.

These things are only a sample of what’s coming, but for many, they are bad enough to make it feel like Christmas just won’t be Christmas this year. For others, it’s not world conditions, but personal tragedy that stands in the way of Christmas.

The 1964 animated television special, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” depicts Santa Claus giving a dire global weather report. “Well, this is it,” he says. “The storm won't subside by tonight. We’ll have to cancel Christmas.” Absurd as that little fantasy is, something about it feels familiar. In certain years, celebration just doesn’t seem appropriate.

During President Kennedy’s visit to Texas in November of 1963, the White House service staff adorned the old mansion with bright and elaborate Christmas decorations. Then an assassin’s bullet cut down the young leader. In short order, Air Force One was flying back to Washington carrying the new President, members of his team, Mrs. Kennedy, and the body of the slain President.

The White House Christmas décor had been festive and beautiful an hour before. Now it seemed garish and inappropriate. The staff didn’t have time to take it down, so someone came up with the idea of covering the decorations with black cloth. By the time Mrs. Kennedy returned, the great house had been transformed from a place of celebration to one of mourning.

But even then, Christmas was not canceled. It was there. Like its symbols beneath the black cloth, Christmas joy remained, waiting to be uncovered again. A few days later, staff members removed the black, and a subdued but real Christmas celebration went into effect.

Neither turmoil nor pain can cancel Christmas. The eternal reality we celebrate rises above all storms. John chapter 1 says, “The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” That chapter identifies “the Word” as Jesus Christ.

You can rock around the Christmas tree, roast chestnuts on an open fire, and let it snow, snow, snow. That’s fine. But it’s not really Christmas. Christmas celebrates God made flesh and dwelling with human beings, a reality so beautiful and dramatic that it takes our breath away. But there’s even more to Christmas. We find it a couple of chapters over. In John 3:16, Jesus said, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

God’s love is real — so real that He gave His only begotten Son to die on a cross for you and for me. That’s what Christmas is about. Storms may rage. Some of them are deeply personal, while others shake the whole world. But storms cannot cancel Christmas.

Top 5 Container Shipping Companies Now REFUSING Israel Cargo Transit Thru Red Sea

Within the past 96 Hours, five of the top 10 ocean shipping lines on the planet, have announced they will no longer handle shipments to or from Israel through the Red Sea (Suez Canal).

It began with MAERSK, and hours later, Hapag-Lloyd announced they would no longer handle any shipments via Red Sea transit. The next day, those companies were joined by CMA-CGM. One day later, those companies were joined by OOCL- Hong Kong (Owned by COSCO), and today, all four of those carriers were joined by the largest container shipping company in the world, MSC.

Here's a list of the top ten ocean shipping companies. The top 5 have now halted service to Israel via Red Sea:

It is important to note that all of these companies CAN still provide shipping service, but without using the Red Sea and its Suez Canal, all their ships must now go around the southern tip of Africa, adding 14,000 miles and three weeks travel time to the shipments. The price increase for such shipping is astronomical due to the vastly increased fuel costs.

This stoppage of ocean container service through the Red Sea is going to have an IMMEDIATE impact upon Israel, which must import much of what the country consumes. Shortages are likely to develop this coming week. Outages the next week. Stunning price increases will also likely take place over the next two weeks as availability of goods dries up.

Then, additional price increases will hit during week three, as any ship which had to go around Africa, bring that freight with the added cost of 14,000 miles and three weeks.

QUESTION: Marty: You have mentioned that Trudeau’s freezing of accounts of anyone who donated to the Truckers was a test run for CBDCs. Do you think this is the end goal to control 100% of our lives?

ANSWER: Hopefully, this will become a Presidential campaign issue. But they are desperate to stop Trump. Congress, including the traitors pretending to be Republicans, passed legislation that NO president can withdraw the US from NATO. This will enable the Neocons to start war BEFORE the 2024 election, and this legislation is to usurp the power of the president, assuming it might be Trump to make it so that he cannot exit World War III. Every politician who voted for that legislation should be thrown out of office in 2024 – PERIOD!

That said, the CBDCs are intended to control our social behavior. This transforms society into a digital prison, which is why the Founding Fathers outlawed Direct Taxation. The rally to Marx at the end of the 19th century led to the introduction of the Income Tax in 1913, and they swore they were going only after the trich. By World War II, they introduced the Payroll Tax because Roosevelt’s Marxist agenda was to include Social Security, and we, of course, had to be FORCED to save for our own future. That became a slush fund that was restricted to buying only government debt to fund this Marxist agenda.

You are being imprisoned with every piece of legislation, like reporting $600 transactions through various cash apps. You have lost ALL your LIBERTY – you don’t know it yet. They could simply create some nonsense and prevent you from donating to Trump or RFK and just make up some nonsense charge. The January 6th had unmarked buses filled with federal agents dressed as MAGA supporters before anyone showed up to stage the event so they could charge Trump and use the 14th Amendment to prevent him from gaining the White House. The Democrats refused to let RFK in, and Biden refused to give him Secret Service protection. In Florida, they tried to remove any contender from the ballot to challenge Biden. This is all about creating war. They let the border open to allow terrorists in so they can declare Martial Law and restrict everyone’s movement. All FREEDOM has been lost!

colored_custom_year_text_9099237 What Trudeau did in Canada permitted the bypassing of due process of law, which is the foundation of a free society. Wake up! Digitization of the monetary system will allow them to totally kill all dissent. There will be NOTHING left standing. This is what 2032 is all about. We are the ants beneath their feet. Anyone who thinks they care at all about us is an absolute fool.

We cannot stop it. This is NECESSARY for political change. This is them fighting to retain power when they fully understand that this monetary system is collapsing. This is not going to be this Great Taking. That would be an instantaneous revolution. They are not that stupid for even the army would rise up against them. This is about total control leaving you with your trinkets.

As this is rolled out, ONLY then will it open the eyes of the masses. Unfortunately, this is also why movements like Transgender, Black Lives Matter, you name it, are all about dividing the people. They MUST keep the people divided and fighting among themselves so they do not unite against the government, where the common denominator is FREEDOM.

While Americans Struggle To Feed Their Families, Illegal Immigrants Waste 5,000 Taxpayer-Funded Meals A Day..... And That Is In Just One U.S. City

While the media, on behalf of the Biden regime, insists the economy is "booming," inflation is down, and by all metrics U.S. Citizens should be happy with "Bidenomics," most Americans aren't buying what they are selling. NPR claims it is a "hangover" from high inflation, but in reality it is Americans looking at their lack of savings, their wallet, their checking accounts and their grocery bills.

No matter how low monthly or yearly inflation numbers go, prices aren't going down and won't unless we see negative inflation. Some media outlets will casually mention this fact while hammering the White House talking points, acting like Americans are ungrateful for the wonders of Bidenomics.

The disconnect between the MSM narrative and Americans who are struggling to feed their families, is the media is doing everything in their power to protect Biden and help him get reelected, and Americans are simply trying to survive.

Not only are the majority of American living paycheck to paycheck, but according to recent reports, more and more are being forced to use food banks, and are "scared" for their future.

Another American, Carl Willette from Augusta, Maine, said he's been relying on a food bank consistently for the first time in his life.

"It is like a noose around your neck getting tighter," Willette, 85, and a caregiver for his wife, said. "You cannot imagine the pressure that is on us now with everything the way it is. I can’t understand, how do they justify the wages that there are today, why does stuff have to go up like that, why does it have to go up so much?

Food banks are much more expensive to run, according to Jen Muzia with the Seattle Ballard Foodbank, who told Fox News Digital, "It’s costing us way more to buy food."

Now Biden is busy claiming that the high cost of food, and just about everything else, isn't his fault, it is corporations refusing the lower their prices, yet Americans see right through that strawman, as an overwhelming majority express extremely low confidence in Biden in regards to the economy and illegal immigration.

The share of Americans saying they are very or somewhat confident in him to make good decisions on economic policy has fallen 20 percentage points since March 2021 (from 56% to 36%).

Most Americans seem to be far smarter than Biden and the media think they are, as they see through the attempts to gaslight them.

It isn't only food either. Winter is right around the corner and many cannot afford to heat their homes, which makes people like retired Pennsylvania State Police officer John Lawler and his team of volunteers, actual heroes. No superpowers needed.

Lawler operates what's known as a firewood bank. The concept is similar to the food pantry; except community members who can't afford to heat their homes come here to get firewood, not canned vegetables.

More than 100 firewood banks exist nationwide — a number that U.S. Forestry officials say is growing as more Americans struggle with energy bills.

"There's more of a need. There's more of a need now than there was four years ago," he said.

For those in the same situation, here is a map showing where Firewood banks are located across the nation.

Now, with all of that facing U.S. citizens, the last thing we want to see is the out of control border, and how the federal government and liberal state leaders are using taxpayer money being used to feed illegal immigrants.

Top that off with the amount of food those illegals are "rejecting" and throwing away, and Americans have every justification to be furious with the Biden regime.

While Americans are still struggling to feed their families, prices continue to increase. Not by the 10%-11% that we saw from May to December 2022, but on top of those numbers. While most reading this understand the way inflation works, it is still worth noting that if the annual inflation is 3% by the end of the 2023, that is 3% more than the 20% it rose since 2021.

The point here is no matter how low inflation gets, prices are not lowering, and won't be lowering. What we pay now at the grocery store will continue to rise.

In October 2023 it was reported that more than 10 million immigrants illegally crossed the U.S. border, and that number has risen considerably in the last couple of months. Border states have been sending many to states and cities that call themselves "sanctuary cities." Those sanctuary cities are no longer happy to see immigrants continue to flow into their state, or over the border.

New York City (NYC) is one of those so-called "sanctuary cities," and proudly stood by that moniker until governor's from multiple border states started bussing illegals to NYC.

First and foremost, despite the amount of homeless Americans, including veterans, in American, NYC, and other city/states are proving free room, board and food to those that crossed into America illegally.

If that isn't enough to make folks want to see Biden tried for treason for allowing an invasion of American, then perhaps learning that in NYC, new reports show that from October 22 and November 22, more than 70,000 meals have been trashed because the food apparently wasn't good enough for those being fed and housed for free.

A controversial contractor being paid millions by the Big Apple to handle migrant services is tossing away tens of thousands of uneaten meals prepared for migrants — including 5,000 on a single day, company records show.

DocGo, which was awarded a hefty $432 million no-bid contract by Mayor Adams’ administration to help relocate some migrants upstate, receives up to $33 per day to provide three meals for each of the 4,000 asylum seekers in its care, the New York Times reported.

A significant number of those meals, however, are being trashed — with more than 70,000 being “wasted” between October 22 and November 22, according to the internal records obtained by the outlet.

More than 5,000 meals for asylum seekers were thrown out on November 6 alone, the records show.

As a side note: This has been ongoing since at least January 2023, when it was reported that "‘Tons’ of food gets tossed daily by NYC hotel because migrants won’t eat it."

In a follow up piece by New York Post, we see the illegals complaining about the food, saying is is "bad." Not as in rotten food, no, but they don't like the taste of what they are being fed on the taxpayers dime.

From the report: "Meals served to the migrants include pancakes and Quecas, a type of fried tortilla, for breakfast; sandwiches for lunch and dinners including chicken alfredo and chicken with spaghetti."

the donuts they complain are too sweet, the sandwiches are too cold, so they toss them rather than let them sit out for an hour to thaw. Keeping them frozen is to prevent the food from going bad before reaching them.

The number of meals being wasted is down, in part, to asylum seekers ditching the city-funded food in favor of buying their own.

They are also being handed taxpayer money to buy food, when Americans are struggling to buy food for their families.

Fellow mom, Alexandra Salas — who has been staying at the Roosevelt for seven months — said she, too, won’t feed her kids the cold meals.

“The breakfast and lunch is so cold we can’t eat it, so it gets thrown in the trash,” she said.

Seven months in what used to be an upscale hotel, while Americans are living on the streets, homeless and without food.

That is NYC, but they are not alone as other states are also doing the same thing. In Massachusetts they will be offering state-funded food benefits for immigrants, at a cost of about "$6 million, which advocates say will last seven months."

Multiply these numbers, the cost and the rejected and trashed food by the amount of states that provide more for illegals than they do Americans.

According to FAIR, The fiscal burden of illegal immigration on United States taxpayers for 2023, totals more than $150 billion.

Just imagine what that $150 billion could do for homeless Americans and vets, hungry children, for the people force to food banks because they cannot afford to feed their families. Imagine how many things can be done for America with that type of money, each year.

Since 2021, when Joe Biden started occupying the White House, the nation has gone from America First policies, to America and Americans last.

The second video below is from January when we first heard that tons of food was being wasted by illegal immigrants tossing it away because they don't like it. Seeing it after the first new video showing all the headlines about Americans skipping meals because they cannot afford groceries, is devastating that this is being allowed to happen by the Biden regime.

The Biggest Spike In Homelessness Ever Recorded Is A Sign That The U.S. Economy Is Plunging Into An Abyss Of Pain And Suffering

At least things are still good for those at the very top of the food chain. But for everyone else, economic conditions have already become very painful. Today, the vast majority of Americans have less money than they did prior to the pandemic, and thanks to raging inflation our standard of living is steadily going down. We are in the early stages of “the greatest real estate correction” in our history, and 1 out of every five children in the United States does not have enough food to eat. With each passing day, more members of the middle class join the ranks of the poor, and more poor people find themselves getting kicked out into the streets. According to the Wall Street Journal, new numbers show that the number of homeless people in the United States has reached a brand new record high…

The U.S. count of homeless people surged to the highest level on record, reaching more than 653,000 people early this year as Covid-19 pandemic-aid spending faded, new federal data show.

The increase reflects a collision of factors: rising housing costs; limited affordable housing units; the opioid epidemic; and the expired pandemic-era aid that had helped keep people in their homes, federal officials said Friday.

In addition to having more homeless people in this country than ever before, additional people are becoming homeless at the fastest pace on record…

Homelessness shot up by more than 12% this year, reaching 653,104 people. The numbers represent the sharpest increase and largest unhoused population since the federal government began tallying totals in 2007, the U.S. Department of Urban Planning and Development said Friday. Last year, federal data showed 582,462 people experienced homelessness.

It is being reported that prior to these new numbers “the previous largest increase was a spike of 2.7 percent recorded in 2019”.

At no point during the “Great Recession” did we see an increase in homelessness like this.

Essentially the floodgates have opened up and an absolutely massive tsunami of homelessness has begun.

Black people made up 13% of the U.S. population in 2023, but they made up 21% of the U.S. population living in poverty, 37% of all people experiencing homelessness and 50% of homeless people in families with children.

Asian and Asian American people had the largest percentage increase in homelessness, up 40% from 2022, to a total of 11,574.

Hispanic and Latino people saw the largest numerical increase, up 28% from 2022 to 179,336 in 2023.

How many more homeless Americans are out there that can’t be found or that don’t want to be found?

Of course many of you don’t need me to tell you that we have a homelessness crisis in America.

In San Francisco, residents have to do “the Poopie Dance” as they go to work because so many homeless people use the streets as a toilet…

They call it ‘The Poopie Dance’ and San Franciscans are having to learn it – and quickly.

It involves constantly looking straight ahead to find a clean line between where you are on the street and where you want to go.

Sadly, it’s the reality in parts of the Bay City as the growing homeless population have taken to using the famed streets of San Francisco as one giant open-air toilet.

Well, the truth is that there are a lot of factors that are contributing to this crisis, but one of the biggest is the fact that housing in the U.S. is now more unaffordable than it has ever been before…

High housing costs continue to be a financial stressor for the poorest Americans. In recent years, more people in the U.S. are rent-burdened, according to HUD, meaning they spend more than 30% or even over 50% of their income on rent.

For the 2024 F-150 XLT, in the two-door rear-wheel-drive base-everything configuration, the MSRP before “destination and delivery charges” is $47,620 per Ford’s website today. The “destination and delivery charges” of $1,995 give the truck a total MSRP of $49,615.

The average transaction price for all new vehicles sold is about $46,000, according to J.D. Power. A fully decked-out high-end F-series 4×4 Crew Cab can be well over $100,000.

And actually “a middle class lifestyle” is out of reach for most Americans at this point.

The numbers that the government gives us say that we aren’t officially in a recession at this moment, but to most of us it certainly feels like a recession has already begun…

That’s according to a recent survey conducted by Bankrate, which found 59% of U.S. adults feel like the economy is in a recession, defined by two consecutive quarters of negative growth.

Regardless of income, households said they are feeling the pressure at about the same amount. Sixty percent of respondents in the lowest-income households, making under $50,000 a year, said the economy feels like it is in a recession. Of those in higher-income households making more than $100,000 annually, 61% agreed.

I wish that I could tell you that economic conditions will improve in 2024 and beyond.

The U.S. economy really is plunging into an abyss, and so much pain and suffering is ahead.

So if you have a warm home to sleep in tonight, be thankful, because there are countless others that do not.

etc. for the things that you saw this week are small in comparison to the things that you shall see. The warships shall increase; North Korea shall build another nuclear weapon making her nuclear weapons far greater than any other nation, people are not recognizing what is going on etc

North Korea launched a possible intercontinental ballistic missile on Monday morning in what analysts said indicated the growing reliability of the reclusive state’s illegal weapons program.

The missile launched Monday exhibited the range to hit anywhere in the United States, according to a preliminary assessment from the Japanese Defense Ministry.

“The ICBM-class ballistic missile launched this time, if calculated based on the trajectory, depending on weight of warhead, could have a flying range of over 15,000 kilometers (9,320 miles), meaning the whole of the US territory would be within range,” Shingo Miyake, parliamentary vice-minister of defense, told reporters at a news conference in Tokyo.

Japanese authorities reported the missile flew at a highly lofted trajectory for about 73 minutes and to an altitude of 6,000 kilometers (3,700 miles) and a distance of about 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) before falling into the sea west of the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.

And that’s an ability Pyongyang has yet to prove, according to Joseph Dempsey, research associate for defense and military analysis at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

“While lofted tests can provide assurances of full engine burns and staging, they do not represent the same challenges of a normal ICBM trajectory. This includes the ability of the warhead to survive a prolonged shallower reentry into the atmosphere or its accuracy over much longer distances,” Dempsey told CNN.

While the type of missile fired was not reported, Jeffrey Lewis, a professor at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, said Monday’s test was likely the third of the Hwasong-18 missile, a powerful solid-fueled ICBM North Korea also launched in April and July.

“If this is indeed the third successful flight test in a row, that would be a good record of reliability,” he told CNN.

“While North Korea, like every country, has missile tests fail, it’s clear that the overall reliability of North Korea’s missiles is quite respectable,” Lewis said.

Kim said after the April test that the Hwasong-18 would provide the country with a “powerful strategic attack means” and boost its nuclear capabilities.

A Hwasong-18 intercontinental ballistic missile is launched from an undisclosed location in North Korea in this image released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency on July 13, 2023.

The ICBM fired in July flew about 1,000 kilometers (621 miles), staying airborne for 74 minutes, according to Japan’s Defense Ministry – a marginal advancement on the ballistic missiles North Korea tested earlier in the year.

The Hwasong-17 was unveiled in 2022, when North Korea held its first long-range missile test in more than four years. Liquid-fuel technology is comparatively easier to master.

The Hwasong-18, meanwhile, is a solid-fueled missile, according to Pyongyang – which makes it far more advanced, and would allow North Korea to launch long-range nuclear strikes more quickly.

Solid-fueled ICBMs are more stable, and can be moved more easily to avoid detection before a launch that can be initiated in a matter of minutes, experts say – compared to liquid-fueled missiles that may need hours before launch, giving time for adversaries to detect and neutralize the weapon.

North Korea’s advancement from the Hwasong-17 last year to the Hwasong-18 this year suggests its missile program is making progress, experts say, reflecting Kim’s goal of matching the military capabilities of other nations like the United States or European countries.

Successive launches allow North Korea to gather more data to refine its missile technology.

Monday’s launch was North Korea’s second of a ballistic missile in less than 24 hours. On Sunday night, a short-range ballistic missile was launched toward the waters off the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.

That missile flew about 570 kilometers before falling into the water, the JCS said.

Shortly after Seoul reported the missile launch, North Korean state media KCNA published a statement by the country’s Defense Ministry spokesperson, condemning what they called “reckless military provocations” by the US and South Korea.

The spokesperson cited the meeting of the Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG) in Washington on December 15, in which the US and South Korea announced the establishment of an extended deterrence system by the middle of next year and large-scale joint military exercises next August.

The spokesperson also cited the arrival of the US attack submarine USS Missouri in South Korea last week, claiming Washington has “hatched a dangerous plot for a nuclear war.”

North Korea’s testing and strong rhetoric may be playing into Washington’s hands, said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul.

“The North Korean threat is motivating greater trilateral cooperation among the US, Japan, and South Korea, including real-time sharing of missile tracking data. Officials in Seoul knew this ICBM test was coming, and had coordinated in advance with partners in Washington and Tokyo,” he said.

Washington and Seoul are readying themselves for war and Pyongyang will not “stand idly by,” its defense ministry has declared

The North Korean Defense Ministry has accused the US and South Korea of preparing for “nuclear war,” warning that any use of force against North Korea would be “met with a preemptive and devastating response.” The ministry’s statement came after Pyongyang’s forces test-fired a ballistic missile.

The missile was launched off North Korea's east coast on Sunday, and fell into the sea 20 minutes after blast-off, according to the Japanese coast guard.

Shortly after the launch, the defense ministry released a statement accusing the “US and South Korean military thugs” of ramping up preparations for “nuclear war,” citing a meeting of the US-South Korean Nuclear Consultative Group in Washington on Friday, after which the White House said that the US would use “the full range of US capabilities, including nuclear,” to defend South Korea from an attack by the north.

The ministry’s statement also condemned the arrival of the USS Missouri, a nuclear-powered submarine, in South Korea on Sunday, and described military drills held in August by American and South Korean forces as “a blatant declaration of nuclear confrontation.”

“We will never stand idly by and watch the provocative actions of the United States,” the ministry stated, adding that North Korean forces are prepared to “thoroughly neutralize the attempt by the United States and its followers to provoke nuclear war.”

“Any attempt by hostile powers to use force against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will be met with a preemptive and devastating response,” the statement concluded.

After a brief detente during the latter part of former US President Donald Trump’s term in office, North Korea ramped up its missile testing program following Joe Biden’s inauguration, and has conducted more than 100 launches since the beginning of 2022. The US, meanwhile, has increased the scale and frequency of its military exercises with South Korea, while the White House has warned Pyongyang twice this year that a nuclear first strike by the north "is unacceptable and will result in the end of the (Kim Jong) Un regime.”

North Korea successfully put a spy satellite into orbit in November, and claimed a week later that it had captured “detailed” images of American military installations, aircraft carriers, and the White House. South Korean spies claim that the north is preparing to carry out its first nuclear test since 2017 some time next year.

Helsinki has not had any “trouble” with Moscow for years but now it will, the Russian president has said

Russia will create a new military district to reinforce its positions near Finland in response to the latter's decision to join NATO, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced.

Putin made the remarks in an interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin that aired on Sunday, stating that Helsinki has not had any real “trouble” with Moscow for decades already – but now it will.

“They took and dragged Finland into NATO. Did we have any disputes with Finland? All disputes, including those of a territorial nature in the mid-20th century, have long been resolved,” Putin stated, noting that Russia does not actually have territorial disputes with any NATO member state.

To counter the expansion of the US-led bloc, Russia is set to create the brand new Leningrad Military District. As the name would indicate, the new force will be stationed in Leningrad Region in the northwestern part of the country, where the city of St. Petersburg – known as Leningrad during the Soviet Union – is located.

There was no trouble. Now there will be. We will now create the Leningrad Military District and concentrate certain military units there. Why do they need this, it’s just nonsense.

Prior to Finland’s decision to join NATO, the two countries enjoyed “the most cordial” relationship, Putin added. The only “minor trouble” Moscow and Helsinki have had was business disputes revolving around the timber-processing industry, the president noted.

Finland announced its decision to join NATO months after the conflict between Ukraine and Russia erupted in February 2022. In April of this year, the country became a full-fledged member of the US-led bloc. Moscow has repeatedly said that Finland’s decision was “wrong” given the fact that the neighboring countries had not had any unresolved bilateral issues.

Last week, Helsinki announced plans to sign a Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with the US, allowing Washington to station troops and stockpile weapons and ammunition in the country. The Finnish Foreign Ministry said Helsinki will open 15 zones across the country in which Washington will be provided with “unimpeded access and use.”

Wells Fargo shutters TWELVE branches in a week while Bank of America axes five amid 'banking bloodbath' - is YOUR local on the chopping block?

Citizens Bank, Chase, Webster, Key Bank, Bank First and First National Bank of Waverly also announced closures

READ MORE: America's bank branch bloodbath laid bare: These states have seen highest proportion of bank closures

American banks filed to close 30 branches last week leaving yet more households without access to basic financial services.

Wells Fargo shuttered twelve locations while Bank of America axed five, according to a weekly bulletin published by regulator the Office of Comtroller of the Currency.

Meanwhile Citizens Bank shut down four branches between December 3 and 9. Chase, Webster, Key Bank, Bank First and First National Bank of Waverly also announced a raft of closures.

The figures come amidst a widespread 'banking bloodbath' which saw firms ax more than 1,000 branches in the first seven months of the year.

Of the latest round of Wells Fargo closures, two were based in Florida, two in New Jersey and two in Texas. Others to be affected were located in California, DC, Georgia, Iowa, Virginia and Washington.

Meanwhile four Bank of America branches being axed were located in Florida while another was based in California. The company had 5,400 branches in 2013 and around 3,800 this year, according to BankRegData.

The closures were off-set slightly by the fact banks applied to open seven new branches. Wells Fargo, for example, is set to open a new location in Huntington Station, New York.

In the first half the year - between January 1 and July 31 - a total of 1,144 national and regional banks were closed, according to data from S&P.

And the picture varies widely across the country. While California had the most closures in absolute terms, New Jersey suffered the greatest losses per capita with a total of 83.

The dwindling number of outlets means residents have to travel further to get to their nearest bank - which often hits vulnerable and elderly customers the hardest.

According to the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, a third of the locations that closed between 2017 and 2021 occurred in areas that were predominately lower-income and majority-minority.

Accelerating closures run a risk of communities becoming so-called 'banking deserts' - when they are without access to a bank or credit union within 10 miles - leaving residents increasingly vulnerable to falling prey to high-fee lending options such as payday loans.

Banks are increasingly turning towards digital services - a development which was sped up hugely by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nerves around transmitting the virus deterred households from exchanging cash and encouraged them to use digital payment apps such as Venmo and Block Inc.'s Cash App.

A study by the Federal Reserve showed a 12.4 percent jump in digital transactions in the first quarter of 2020 alone.

But some customers may be reluctant to use internet banking, or have limited access to these services, making them more reliant on physical outlets.

An exclusive poll by DailyMail.com earlier this year revealed 51 percent of consumers said they were very or somewhat concerned about the declining number of bank branches.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian rocket forces have loaded a new Yars intercontinental ballistic missile into a silo at the Kozelsk base in the Kaluga region, southwest of Moscow, the defence ministry said.

The 23-metre long RS-24 (Yars) missile is designed to carry multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs), which allow the missile to deliver multiple nuclear warheads at different targets.

"In the Kozelsky compound, Strategic Missile Forces loaded a Yars intercontinental ballistic missile into a silo launcher," the defence ministry said.

The defence ministry released a clip of the giant missile being transported to a silo and loaded into a shaft. It accompanied the video with pounding rock music.

Russia has the world's largest arsenal of nuclear weapons, closely followed by the United States. Together, Russia and the United States control more than 90% of the world's nuclear weapons.

Russia has about 5,889 nuclear warheads while the United States has about 5,244, according to the Federation of American Scientists. Of those, Russia and the United States each have about 1,670 strategic nuclear warheads deployed.

Israel finds large tunnel adjacent to Gaza border, raising new questions about prewar intelligence

BEIT HANOUN, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Israeli military said Sunday it has discovered a large tunnel shaft in Gaza close to what was once a busy crossing into Israel, raising new questions about how Israeli surveillance missed such conspicuous preparations by Hamas for the militants' deadly Oct. 7 assault.

The entryway to the tunnel is just a few hundred meters from the heavily fortified Erez crossing and a nearby Israeli military base.

The military said that it stretches for more than four kilometers (2½ miles), links up with a sprawling tunnel network across Gaza and is wide enough for cars to pass through. The army said Sunday that the tunnel facilitated the transit of vehicles, militants and supplies in preparation for the Oct. 7 attack.

That day, militants used a rocket-propelled grenade to break past the portion of wall close to the Erez crossing and stormed the base, killing at least three soldiers and kidnapping some back to Gaza, the army said. It was one of several places along the border wall where militants easily blew past Israel's security defenses, entered Israeli territory and killed around 1,200 people and took about 240 others hostage.

The unprecedented attack triggered a devastating war that has raged for more than 10 weeks and claimed more than 18,000 lives in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian health officials. Israel says the destruction of Hamas' tunnel network is a major objective and that much of the underground network runs beneath schools, hospitals and residential areas.

Israel's military, intelligence and political officials have come under heavy criticism for failing to detect the attack ahead of time.

Maj. Nir Dinar, a military spokesperson, said that Israeli security services didn't know about the tunnel before Oct. 7 because Israel's border defenses only detected tunnels meant to enter Israel.

“As far as I know, this tunnel doesn’t cross from Gaza into Israel and stops within 400 meters from the border, which means the indicators won’t indicate that a tunnel is being built,” Dinar said. He added that the entrance, a circular cement opening leading to a cavernous passageway, was located under a garage, hiding it from Israeli drones and satellite images.

While the military was aware that Hamas had an extensive tunnel network, Dinar said they didn't think the militants would be able to carry out their plans for a large-scale attack.

“It’s no surprise that this was the Hamas strategy all along,” Dinar said. "The surprise is that they have succeeded and the size of this tunnel … was really shocking.”

The Erez crossing, a fortress-like facility that processed the movement of Palestinians into Israel for work, medical care and transit to neighboring Jordan, held great symbolic value for Hamas. The massive crossing was protected by security cameras and military patrols and the adjacent military base. The crossing suffered heavy damage on Oct. 7 and hasn't reopened.

The army said its special “Yahalom” unit, which specializes in tunnel warfare, has worked to excavate the tunnel since it was first detected. They say they've found weapons inside.

"At this point, this is the biggest tunnel in Gaza," Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the chief military spokesman, told reporters in a tour of the tunnel's entrance on Friday.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Hagari said troops had discovered at least two other “city-sized” tunnels of similar in scope, which they are still mapping.

“This was a flagship project that was waiting, finished and ready,” Hagari told a news conference. He noted that tunnel was in use during the war and that Israeli soldiers had killed Hamas militants inside the tunnel.

The army also showed reporters soldiers' barracks at the nearby base that it said were set ablaze by the militants. They looked like the ashes of a furnace, with blackened walls and smelted bunks. The military announced Friday that it had recovered in Gaza the bodies of two soldiers who were working at the base on Oct. 7.

Dinar, who visited the tunnel Friday, said it was twice the height and three times the width of other tunnels found in Gaza. He said it is equipped with ventilation and electricity and dives 50 meters underground in some points. He said it was clear that millions of dollars as well as a great deal of fuel and workforce had been needed to build and sustain the tunnel.

Hagari said the military planned to destroy the tunnel and continue to “hunt" militants hiding in others.

“We will hunt them even if we need to go down to the tunnels,” Hagari said. “We also need to do it with attention to the rescue of our hostages and the understanding that maybe some of them are in the tunnels.”

Hate And Hostility: ‘Saturday People Are The First Targets… The Sunday People Are Next’

Narratives, talking points, and propaganda against the biblical worldview have been effective and are increasing. This has caused hostility toward Christians and Jews to spike. Spiritual warfare has manifested as forces of darkness have been working overtime.

From the godless protesters in NY at the lighting of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center to useful idiots on U.S. college campuses supporting Hamas, to young people in the UK wanting to ban the Bible, to Democrats claiming that the faith of American Christians is more of a threat than al-Queda, enemies of God are coming after Saturday people first, then Sunday people.

I spoke with Jan Markell on Worldview Matters last week and she agrees that prophetic battles are reaching a boiling point and that it seems an unprecedented number of “demons were unleashed” to carry out the horrific attacks against Israel by Hamas in October. Since then, protests have erupted around the world and most disturbingly on U.S. college campuses and city streets.

It would appear the army is being assembled for the revolution in part because Satan knows his time is short.

Retired Israel Defense Forces Major and Middle East expert Amir Tsarfati points out the terrorists often say Saturday people are the first targets and the Sunday people are next. These terms are used to identify Jews and Christians based on the days we worship. It’s interesting to me they’re not even hiding their agenda any longer.

In Arabic, the deadly, demonic Islamist threat goes like this: “On Saturday we kill the Jews, on Sunday we kill the Christians.”

On ‘Washington Watch’ with Tony Perkins, Amir Tsarfati recently shared concerns – not about the volatility of the Middle East, but about growing hostility in the U.S. You’ve likely seen headlines or read news stories about raging campus protests against Jews, but Tsarfati warned that right now, “America must wake up!” He stated:

“Your southern border is so open, and I can’t even imagine how many Hezbollah and Hamas cells are already in your country right now. They’re testing you. And look, they’ve waited and waited and deceived us and the whole world. And then boom, one day they will strike.”

Christians are fleeing many Middle Eastern countries where Jewish populations no longer exist due to them being driven out or killed. Enemies of God are coming after “people of the book” as well as the Bible we trust in.

Having been blessed with religious freedoms and the U.S. Constitution, are we really talking about lethal levels of antisemitism and Christian persecution in America? Yes, sadly, we are. It’s been brewing for a long time. For decades now, we have been in the crosshairs of the radical God-hating, globalist and Marxist left and they will not allow a serious crisis to go to waste.

But where was this evil cultivated and how has it been allowed to spread? The silence of American churches and most of our pulpits would be a good place to start. We have been sold on the lie that Christians should stay out of controversial, cultural battles. Do you know where your pastor stands on the key moral issues of the day? Why not?

Other usual suspects include the K-12 brainwash camps that have produced leftist social-justice activists and universities that have become fertile ground for anti-Christian and anti-Israel intolerance. Remember, to them, diversity means you look different but think the same.

How do we respond when accusations or lies go unchecked in media or in the public square including on social media? Have you noticed believers and conservatives in particular being framed or lumped together with “domestic terrorists,” right-wingers, and “Christian Nationalists”?

A week ago Friday, House Speaker Mike Johnson refused to back down when a leading Democrat attacked his Christian faith.

Wretched old James Carville said on CNN that Christians like Johnson are a “fundamental threat to the United States,” and added: “Mike Johnson and what he believes is one of the greatest threats we have today to the United States…”This is a bigger threat than al-Qaeda to this country.”

While others use such inflammatory rhetoric to exaggerate or to make a point, this is how some in the left-wing Democrat Party think. Absurd is too soft a word here. But for the uninformed electorate who watch this rubbish and believe the commentators without any facts or research to back up their claims, they’re convinced it’s true.

House Speaker Johnson responded to Carville’s attack, saying, “It’s twisted and shameful that a leading Democrat strategist says millions of Christians in America are a greater threat than foreign terrorists who murdered more than 3,000 Americans, …The Democratic Party should condemn this. But they won’t.”

The left also wants ignorant people to think that all Christians are trying to control or convert the country – against the Constitution – and force our religion on the masses. Because of their success pushing this propaganda, their recent attacks have been effective in changing public opinion apart from the truth.

I explain how we got here, what their tactics are, and how we can respond in my new book Assault on the Image of God.

More and more people today support the idea that true believers in Christ should be censored or even punished in some way. My very first interview on the book was with Pastor JB Hixson and it was immediately removed from YouTube because it apparently violated “community guidelines.” It’s now on Rumble.

One last example to drive home the point that people are increasingly open to attacking the biblical worldview and those who adhere to it.

There’s a new poll by Whitestone Insights over in the U.K. showing that young adults are willing to ban the Bible as ‘Hate Speech.’ People were simply asked if they agree with the following statement:

“Unless the offending parts can be edited out, books containing what some perceive as hate speech should be banned from general sale, including if necessary religious texts such as the Bible.”

Not surprisingly, a substantial amount of Brits agreed and we are seeing the fruit of this mindset there as more Christians are discriminated against. Naturally, 18 to 34-year-olds are the most supportive with 23% agreeing to punish Bible believers. This didn’t happen overnight and what happens in the UK doesn’t stay in the UK.

In John chapter 15, Jesus warns His followers that the world would hate Christians because He chose us and because “you are not of this world.”

Sarah Holliday at the Washington Stand reminds us that we can not only expect pushback to the biblical worldview but that it will intensify and become more common. The world simply hates the Truth we proclaim. She explains:

Scripture repeatedly informs us that we will be hated, rejected, and persecuted for our faith, so we shouldn’t be surprised. Following Jesus means to counter all of man’s natural desires, making it both controversial and offensive to the unconverted. And the Bible, authoritative and eternal, does not change with the times.

Praise God we have an unchangeable, unshakable foundation to place our faith completely upon, the Rock of Christ. Stay strong in these last days, my friend. We may be hearing a lot about peace, safety, and security very soon. Don’t fall for it.

Dutch mayor refuses to be photographed with Israeli ambassador at Hanukkah event, setting off media frenzy

(JTA) — A Hanukkah celebration in the Dutch town of Enschede took a bitter turn after its mayor refused to be seen near the Israeli ambassador to the Netherlands.

Jaap Hartog, chairman of the Enschede synagogue, invited Mayor Roelof Bleker to a celebration of Hanukkah and the synagogue’s 95th anniversary on Monday night. He reserved a seat for Bleker next to Israeli Ambassador Modi Ephraim, who was visiting Enschede for the occasion.

But hours before the event, Hartog received a call with preconditions from Bleker.

“The mayor didn’t want to sit next to the ambassador, didn’t want to shake hands with him and especially didn’t want to shake hands with a photographer present, so he wouldn’t have trouble with photos in the media,” Hartog told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Hartog responded by telling the mayor not to come at all. However, when Bleker insisted on joining, he was received and seated on the synagogue’s balcony between other guests.

Bleker said his intention was to keep a distance from the war in Israel and Gaza and avoid images that might stir controversy. But that effort backfired, as his stipulations prompted a media frenzy in the Netherlands this week.

Enschede’s small community of Jews — about 45 in total — were already frustrated with Bleker, according to Hartog. He said that Bleker rejected their requests for increased security and surveillance after Oct. 7, despite a surge of antisemitic attacks across the country.

The Central Jewish Board of the Netherlands also criticized Bleker. Chairman Chanan Hertzberger chided him not only for conditioning his appearance at the synagogue, but also for sitting in the back instead of the front seat originally reserved for him.

“The mayor should sit at the front of such a celebration,” said Hertzberger in translated remarks. “We can only conclude that this mayor projects his criticism of Israel onto the Jewish residents of his city.”

Bleker said he regretted the controversy in a public statement on Tuesday, noting that he had called both Ephraim and Hartog to apologize. He is meeting with Hartog on Friday.

But Bleker appeared to stand by his desire for separation from the Israel-Hamas war. “I am there for all Enschede residents and therefore want to stay away from international conflicts,” he said.

Ephraim acknowledged the spat but emphasized his own appearance at the synagogue in posts on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Anyway it was an emotional Hanukkah celebration in Enschede, with hundreds of Christians and Jewish friends of Israel,” Ephraim wrote. “In my words I called to stand together against hatred and antisemitism.”

Too cold for electric vehicles! Brand new electric buses paralyzed miserably in Oslo, Norway because of freezing temperatures

Winter is here and with it the freezing cold. And now public transport is also paralyzed.

Oslo’s brand new fleet of electric buses is not designed for these temperatures – their batteries are failing miserably in the icy cold.

Prepare now! Protect your home and cars againts EMP, solar flare and lightnings…

The transport operator confirms that the electric buses are simply not reliable enough in winter: “The range of the electric buses decreases drastically in the cold. The batteries run out more quickly.”

Oslo wants to make local public transport completely emission-free. This is why 183 new electric articulated buses were delivered in April 2023. The 100 million euro contract for this was signed last year. The buses are to run on Oslo’s busiest routes.

The new buses from Solaris were highly praised in advance and everything went well during the summer. But now, with the onset of winter, the weaknesses of the electric vehicles are becoming apparent: although a range of 250 kilometers is actually advertised, the buses sometimes simply break down.

Russians who have been banned from travelling abroad will have to hand over their passports to authorities within five days after being notified, according to a government decree that comes into force on Monday (Dec 11).

According to the new Russian law, authorities can impose a travel ban on conscripts, employees of the Federal Security Service (FSB), convicts, or people who have access to state secrets or "information of special importance", among others.

The returned passport will be stored by the authorities that issued it, such as the interior ministry or the foreign ministry authorities.

After the travel ban is lifted, the passport could be returned upon completing an application, according to the government decree.

Those whose right to travel was temporarily limited on the basis of conscription for military or alternative civilian service will have to additionally provide a military ID with proof that they completed service, the resolution says.

In March, the Financial Times reported, citing unnamed sources close to the matter, that Russia's security services were confiscating the passports of senior officials and state company executives to prevent overseas travel.

South Korea, Japan scramble jets after China, Russia warplanes spotted entering Seoul's defense zone

South Korea and Japan scrambled fighter jets on Thursday after Chinese and Russian aircraft were spotted near their countries, officials said.

South Korea scrambled fighters after two Chinese and four Russian military planes entered its air defense zone, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

Separately, Japan scrambled jets to monitor Chinese and Russian bombers and fighters conducting joint flights on Thursday, according to its defense ministry.

The aircraft included China’s H-6, J-16, Y-8 and Russia’s Tu-95, Su-35. They were spotted flying toward East China Sea through the channel between Japan and South Korea, Japan’s ministry said.

According to South Korea's military, the aircraft entered the Korea Air Defense Identification Zone off its east coast between 11:53 a.m. and 12:10 p.m. local time and then left the area.

The planes did not violate South Korea's territorial airspace, which is protected by international laws, its military said. A defense zone is different from a nation's territorial airspace, which usually means the space above its territory, extending 12 nautical miles away from its coastline.

There are no international laws that govern air defense zones, which are an area where countries themselves can uniquely and unilaterally require foreign aircraft to take steps to identify themselves, the International Civil Aviation Organization said, according to Reuters.

Moscow does not recognize Korea's air defense zone, and Beijing similarly disputes that the zone is not territorial airspace.

The alleged violations came as Russian President Vladimir Putin was holding a news conference in his country, where he faces public questions concerning Moscow's war in Ukraine.

The world finds excuses to hate Jews. People across the globe are blaming individual Jews for Israel’s war on Hamas. Even Jews who do not support the invasion of Gaza are being blamed for it. On US college campuses, Jewish students are threatened, harassed, and no longer feel safe. Hate crime against Muslims is on the rise, but it’s even worse for Jews. The Bible says that this tendency toward Jew-hatred would get worse in the end times. And we’re seeing it right now.

You may have heard about the Williamsburg, Virginia street festival canceling a Hanukkah-related menorah lighting ceremony. After receiving criticism for the snub, festival organizers told the press that they rejected the menorah lighting because they have a policy against any kind of religious ceremony. But in an email to the rabbi who was supposed to have conducted the lighting, they said they would allow it if an Islamic group also took part. So, apparently religious expression is okay if it includes Muslims.

An event organizer explained, “We are about Peace, Love & light… don’t want to make it seem we’re choosing a side — supporting the killing/bombing of thousands of men, women & children.” But they also told the rabbi he could go on with the ceremony if he held it beneath a banner calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. That’s called taking a side.

Do you see what they did? They identified the menorah with the IDF’s military action in Gaza. They don’t just blame Israel for what they call the “killing/bombing,” but all Jews. This one snub would be almost nothing if it were alone. But people all over the world are doing what they did — blaming the suffering of Palestinians on all Jews.

In the same vein, a Maine town removed a Star of David because a local Arab American organization called it “offensive.” The town later said it was done in order to comply with the first amendment’s “establishment clause.” But you would have to be deluded to think that allowing a Star of David in a Christmas display amounts to anything like government “establishing” a state religion. The original reason is obviously the real one. The Star of David stands for Jews, and the very existence of Jews offends some in the Arab American community. Members of the KKK also find the existence of Jews offensive. But we should not base community standards on anyone’s bigotry.

The Star of David threatens no one. It is an acknowledgement of a people and their history. Jesus, Joseph, and Mary were part of that people and history. So, the Star of David is a perfectly appropriate symbol to put up as part of a Christmas display. Likewise, no one should see a menorah as a threat. People are using Israel’s war with Hamas as an excuse to hate Jews, something as common in humans and as evil as the seven deadly sins. One wonders if the woke crowd will start banning the Star of David from their “coexist” bumper stickers.

The Bible tells us to expect increasing levels of persecution for both Jews and Christians in the time leading up to the Lord’s return. It’s happening now, and it’s getting worse. Still, God’s promises remain in effect. In Luke 21:33 (NASB), Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”

Grzegorz Braun, a member of the Confederation party, was promptly expelled from the plenary by the speaker of the lower chamber, Szymon Holownia

The Polish parliament was thrown into CHAOS on Tuesday when a far-right lawmaker used a fire extinguisher to disrupt a Hanukkah menorah lighting ceremony in the parliament lobby.

Grzegorz Braun, a member of the Confederation party, was promptly expelled from the plenary by the speaker of the lower chamber, Szymon Holownia.

"This should have never happened," Holownia expressed to reporters following the incident, vowing to push for an investigation into the matter.

The act drew widespread condemnation, with Prime Minister-designate Donald Tusk labeling it as "unacceptable" and emphasizing the need to prevent any such recurrence. The incident led to the postponement of a crucial vote to approve Tusk's pro-EU government.

"SHAME. A Polish Parliament member just did this. Few minutes after we celebrated Hanukkah there," Israel's ambassador to Poland, Yacov Livne, expressed on social media alongside a video of the disruptive act.

Holownia took a firm stance, temporarily banning Braun from parliamentary proceedings and imposing financial penalties on the ultranationalist lawmaker.

"What happened is just disgusting. This is a great Jewish holiday, these people were invited here," Holownia stated, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy against antisemitism in the assembly.

The incident has sparked outrage and condemnation across party lines, except for the Confederation party, igniting discussions about ensuring the security and sanctity of cultural and religious ceremonies within the Polish parliament.

The ceremony, commemorating the Jewish Festival of Lights, was attended by rabbis and a Jewish music band. Videos circulated on Polish media depicted Braun extinguishing the menorah, filling the parliament's main hall with fumes.

In 2015, Egypt flooded tunnels between the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula with seawater.

The IDF has begun pumping seawater into Hamas' tunnel complex in Gaza, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday citing unnamed US officials, adding that the process would likely take weeks.

Some Biden administration officials have said the process could help destroy the tunnels, where Israel believes the terrorist group is hiding hostages, fighters and munitions, the Journal reported. Other officials have expressed concerns the seawater would endanger Gaza's fresh water supply, the newspaper reported.

The flooding process began after the IDF added two pumps to five pumps which had been installed for the purpose of flooding the tunnels last month, the US officials told the Journal. The first five large pumps had been assembled north of the al-Shati refugee camp during the last month, with each one capable of pumping thousands of cubic meters of seawater into the tunnels.

In 2015, Egypt flooded tunnels between the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula with seawater, sparking complaints that the method damaged the soil in the area.

Due to the nature and structure of the tunnels, it is unclear whether the method will be a cure-all for the tunnel threat, or will be useful, but will remain just one of a series of important tactics.

The process could take weeks and therefore could allow Hamas's fighters to evacuate, potentially taking the hostages with them. However, it isn't clear whether Israel would wait until all hostages are returned.

Norwegian vessel scheduled to dock in southern Israeli port on January 4, according to port's website; attack caused a fire and damage on board but 22 crewmembers unharmed

The Norwegian commercial tanker STRINDA, which was attacked by a Houthi cruise missile on Tuesday, was headed for the Port of Ashdod in southern Israel and was scheduled to dock there on January 4, according to the port's website.

"The risk to shipping routes posed by the Houthis represents a strategic threat to global maritime lanes in general, and to Israel's maritime traffic in particular, with far-reaching political and economic impacts,” read a statement from the port’s administration.

“The Houthi threat does not directly affect port operations. We emphasize that we are doing everything possible to operate fully and maintain an open gateway to Israel, despite the challenges of war. We are prepared and operating normally to handle all required operational activities of loading and unloading."

The Iran-aligned group's military spokesperson Yahya Sare'e said in a televised statement said they carried out a military operation against the vessel in its latest operation to protest against Israel's bombardment of Gaza, targeting the tanker with a rocket after the crew refused to respond to all warnings.

He vowed that the Houthis would continue blocking ships heading to Israeli ports until Israel allows the entry of food and medical aid into the Gaza Strip - more than 1,000 miles from the Houthi seat of power in Sana'a.

The attack on the tanker STRINDA took place about 60 nautical miles (111km) north of the Bab al-Mandab Strait connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden at about 2100 GMT, a U.S. official told Reuters. A second U.S. official said the STRINDA was able to move under its own power in the hours after the attack.

"There were no U.S. ships in the vicinity at the time of the attack, but the (U.S. Navy destroyer) USS MASON responded to the M/T STRINDA's mayday call and is currently rendering assistance," the U.S. military's Central Command, which oversees American forces in the Middle East, said in a statement posted on social media platform X.

The attack caused a fire and damage but no casualties, the U.S. military said in a statement.

The French defense ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that its frigate FREMM Languedoc intercepted and destroyed a drone that was threatening the Norwegian oil tanker in a complex aerial attack originating from Yemen.

It said the attack had taken place in the evening of Monday, Dec. 11 and had caused a fire on board the tanker, which was sailing under the Norwegian flag.

The Houthi spokesman said that the group had managed to obstruct the passage of several ships in recent days, acting in support of the Palestinians

The Houthis have waded into the Israel-Hamas conflict - which has spread around the Middle East since Oct. 7 - attacking vessels in vital shipping lanes and firing drones and missiles at Israel itself.

On Saturday, the Houthis said they would target all ships heading to Israel, regardless of their nationality, and warned international shipping companies against dealing with Israeli ports. The Norway-flagged chemical tanker's Norwegian owner Mowinckel Chemical Tankers said that the vessel was headed for a safe port and that its crew of 22 from India were all unhurt. The vessel's manager Hansa Tankers could not be immediately reached for comment outside office hours.

The STRINDA had loaded vegetable oil and biofuels in Malaysia and was headed for Venice, Italy, data from shiptracking firm Kpler showed. It was not immediately clear whether the STRINDA had any ties to Israel.

The Houthis are one of several groups in the Iran-aligned "Axis of Resistance" that have been taking aim at Israeli and U.S. targets since their Palestinian ally Hamas attacked Israel.

During the first week of December, three commercial vessels came under attack in international waters, prompting a U.S. Navy destroyer to intervene.

The Houthis also seized last month a British-owned cargo ship that had links with an Israeli company.

The United States and Britain have condemned the attacks on shipping, blaming Iran for its role in supporting the Houthis. Tehran says its allies make their decisions independently.

Saudi Arabia has asked the United States to show restraint in responding to the attacks.

Globalist Death Cult Tells Us What's Next: 'NO Internet, NO Phone, NO Power, NO Food, NO Going Back To Normal' - Barack & Michelle Obama Produced New Movie Predicting TEOTWAWKI

- 'The most blatant examples of predictive programming and cabal symbolism I’ve ever seen'

Back in August of 2022, Steve Quayle linked to a video on his website titled "The History of Predictive Programming In Film," with Steve leaving an SQnote while linking to that video, "Very important topic based on the history of Hollywood's ties to the intelligence industries."

Breaking down for us the long history of 'incidents' where Hollywood had put out TV shows or movies that seemed to have incredible 'advanced knowledge' of 'events' that had yet to occur when the show had come out but then, 'coincidentally,' happened at a later date nearly to the exact situation seen in the show, such as we'd reported back in October of 2020, or as seen in the TV show 'The X-Files' having 'advanced knowledge' of bioweapons being unleashed to kill off mass numbers of human beings, we've got to take a look within this story at a new 'end of the world movie' that just came out that, should it come true, will have grave repercussions for us all.

With the movie we'll be discussing today being a new Netflix movie titled "Leave The World Behind," as we see and hear in the must watch 1st video at the bottom of this story by 'Canadian Prepper,' the movie is an 'End of the World/Apocalypse' movie that 'forecasts' a massive future cyber attack upon America that takes down not only the United States government but most of the country, and interestingly, two of the producers of this movie are none other than Barack and Michelle Obama.

And with even the NY Times publishing a story about the Obama's new film production company called "Higher Ground," and the NY Times story reporting that the Obama film production clan will be putting out movies that 'aren't always uplifting,' as one commenter on 'X' had reported about the movie, It is one of the most blatant examples of predictive programming/cabal symbology I’ve ever seen.

With another "X" commenter mentioning that "they even go so far as to casually mention the cabal and their “evil” plans for the world," a very common theme of the reviewers of this movie over at IMDB were it was "a complete waste of time" and "they never tied things together at the end by giving us an ending where we learn who had attacked America, and who were the 'bad guys.'

With the movie definitely NOT giving viewers 'a happy ending,' or even any real kind of 'ending' at all, we'll propose this of that non-conclusion: That is EXACTLY WHAT the globalists wanted! Because as the 'ending' of this movie shows, they realize that should a country-wide cyber attack occur that takes down the grid, all communications and specifically, the internet, they'll NEVER be held accountable for their war crimes and vax genocide!

As we've warned on ANP several different times, according to an 'X' user called 'The Architect.' "All of this manufactured drama is leading to one inevitable conclusion. They will BURN IT ALL DOWN before we EVER have the chance to bring them to justice." And a future America featuring NO internet, NO phones and NO 'going back to normal' as seen in "Leave The World Behind" would certainly fit that bill.

From the kid in the show, who represents the future of the 'White Man,' wearing his 'Obey' t-shirt obediently, to the '666' symbolism as explained in the 1st video at the bottom of this story by 'Canadian Prepper' to all of the 'woke' garbage that's thrown in our faces, this movie has 'illuminati' written all over it.

As the Gateway Pundit reports in this new story about the movie, it totally demonizes 'white people' by shoving their 'woke agenda' in our faces. With the movie casting an overall view that white people shouldn't be trusted in the even of an apocalyptic disaster, as the Gateway Pundit story points out, the white people in the movie are treated as if they're 'dumbed down, walking and talking disasters.'

Netflix’s new cyber apocalypse film, “Leave the World Behind,” warns that white people should not be trusted if the world faces an apocalypse disaster.

The new film was co-produced by Barack and Michelle Obama and stars Julia Roberts and Kevin Bacon.

The movie’s plot follows a white family vacationing in a rented house on Long Island.

At the beginning of the movie, the vacation home’s owner, G.H. Scott, and his daughter, Ruth, arrive at their home after a major cyber attack occurs across the United States.

During one scene, G.H. and his daughter Ruth are seen together about to sleep, and his daughter states, “If the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people.”

Netflix film called “Leave The World Behind” produced by the Obamas includes a scene demonizing white people.

White people are the only group you’re allowed and celebrated to be racist towards and it will be put into movies by the most influential people. pic.twitter.com/WxyIYmzGOH

‘Leave The World Behind’ is a new Netflix special produced by the Obamas about cyber attacks and a “global communications breakdown”.

Watch this, then watch the video the WEF posted a few years ago warning about a future ‘cyber pandemic’ and tell me we’re not being programmed. pic.twitter.com/V8rKE8HFST

So with the globalists proving through the past that they're more than happy to tell us what they have planned for us in the future by somehow working their political ideas into Hollywood movies and TV shows, and now stories coming out like this from Armstrong Economics reporting people in the UK are now being told by their government to prepare for a 'grid down scenario' and massive cyber attacks that 'interrupt' their normal day to day lives, how long will it be until we see that 'end times' scenario here in America?

As another film reviewer had mentioned of the movie, when the grid and communications go down, the vast majority of people in the world will be just like the characters played by Julia Roberts and her husband played by Ethan Hawke, totally clueless as to what had even happened or what they should do.

Completely unaware of anything except for their phones and the information they normally get from them, their dead end jobs and the world of illusion they had erected all around them, those who hadn't prepared for SHTF will run out of food and water in no time at all and will soon be 'S' out of luck.

And with such a devastating scenario immediately turning the cities into war zones as the stores are nearly immediately picked dry, looters steal anything and everything they can get their hands on in an attempt to keep their own families alive, people will realize they'll need to quickly 'harden up' or they'll become 'worm food,' or they'll resort to eating worms, as 'grocery stores' become non-existent.

Showing us that in a SHTF scenario, there are no such thing as 'friends' and 'humanity,' and that verything quickly comes down to one word, 'survival,' bunches of marauding gangs will soon overrun everything and every place that they think might hold food or supplies, and with no more 'rule of law,' they'll be stealing and killing everything in their paths.

Including shooting their own neighbors for a bottle of water or a piece of fruit, how many people reading this story right now think that YOUR neighbors will 'do the right thing' at TEOTWAWKI?

And if the electrical grid goes down in our futures, how many of you already have a generator or two so that you can give your homes and families some kind of power? An excellent solar generator is linked right here from Amazon, something that you can get even before Christmas if you order it now.

Both of the first two videos below are from Canadian Prepper, with the first one giving us both an excellent look at the movie 'Leave The World Behind' and all of the blatant and hidden symbolism within it, while the 2nd video gives us a look at what will undoubtedly happen during the first 12 hours of a nationwide cyber attack, with America completely vulnerable with nearly all of our 'systems' somehow tied to the internet. The final video below is the previously mentioned "The History Of Predictive Programming In Film."

And with food and water an absolute must have to survive as we go forward into the future, whether that future be an America struck by a countrywide cyber attack, a grid down scenario, World War 3, economic collapse or any other number of TEOTWAWKI scenarios you can imagine, you can both stock up on such items below, while helping ANP to stay in business via purchasing the products, or anything else you might like to buy after clicking one of our links, listed at the bottom of this story.

IRON FLEET Israel deploys warship to join UK, US & French vessels as Red Sea tensions rage with Iran-backed rebels attacking ships

Iran-backed Houthi rebels have unleashed chaos in the Red Sea by blasting ships and patrolling waters on speedboats ready to hijack

ISRAEL has dispatched one of its most powerful warships to the Red Sea as gun-toting rebels are turning the area into a warzone.

The Israeli Navy's Sa’ar 6-class corvette has been declared operational and are set to join UK, French and US vessels already deployed.

One of four corvettes in the Israeli iron fleet - named Ahi Magen - joined operational activities in the port of Eilat, the only Israeli port on the Red Sea.

Each nearly 2,000-ton missile ship is outfitted with 20 systems, 18 of which are Israeli-made and staffed with around 80 sailors, The Times of Israel reported.

IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari confirmed that the corvettes attacked for the first time since they became operational.

As the war against Hamas reaches its 67th day, Israeli missile ships and standard security vessels have reportedly targeted hundreds of assets linked to manoeuvring forces, i24 News reports.

It comes as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have unleashed chaos in the Red Sea by blasting ships and patrolling waters on speedboats ready to hijack.

The Houthis control Yemen and its west coast along the Red Sea - and Iran is understood to actively arm the group.

They vowed to target all ships owned by Israel or flying the country's flag in the Red Sea in the wake of Hamas' horror October 7 massacre.

The group declared themselves part of the "axis of resistance" of Iran's allies and proxies and have rallied behind the Palestinians since Hamas attacked Israel.

In October, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a televised statement the group had launched a "large number" of ballistic missiles and drones towards Israel.

Saree insisted there would be more such attacks to come "to help the Palestinians to victory".

And since the October 7 massacre almost two months ago, there has been a chilling spike in the number of incidents in the inlet.

The Houthis have launched a series of drones and missiles toward Israel in recent weeks as well as blasting ships and seizing a cargo vessel in the last month.

On Monday evening, an anti-ship missile was fired at the Strinda, a Norwegian-flagged chemical tanker in the latest episode of a string of attacks.

The ambush came in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, off the coast of Houthi-controlled Yemen south of Israel.

Houthi spokesperson Yehia Sareea said they targeted the tanker after the crew refused to respond to their threats.

A US Navy ship, the USS Mason, intervened to help the Strinda which was reportedly able to move on its own hours after the attack.

US Central Command wrote on X/Twitter: "There were no U.S. ships in the vicinity at the time of the attack, but the (U.S. Navy destroyer) USS MASON responded to the M/T STRINDA's mayday call and is currently rendering assistance."

The crew were apparently able to put out the fire onboard and make it safely to a port.

It is part of a fleet owned by shipping firm Mowinckels Rederi, and was on its way to Italy.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency (UKMTO), said it received reports of an "entity declaring itself to be the Yemeni Navy, ordering a naval to alter course to a Yemen port".

Just weeks ago a tanker owned by an Israeli billionaire was reportedly hijacked off the coast of Yemen with 22 crew members on board.

And just days before another Israeli owned ship with 25 onboard was ambushed by Houthi rebels who stormed the deck with guns.

Chilling footage showed a chopper landing on the cargo carrier before several gunmen swarmed.

Video: Turkish MP Calls for Allah’s Wrath on Israel – Divine Response Unfolds Seconds Later, Ending in Tragedy

The MP Hasan Bismet spoke out strongly against Israel, and shouted about Israeli suffering the “wrath of Allah”.

Anti-Israel banners and graffiti, along with Palestinian flags, have become commonplace across Istanbul, as many of its citizens fume over Israel’s response to the Hamas attacks on October 7 that left over 1,400 dead, most of them civilians. Images have also circulated of taxis with signs saying that their drivers would not serve Israelis.

No one expected the Turkish government to beam the Israeli flag onto Istanbul’s Bosphorus bridge in solidarity with the victims of the Hamas attacks of October 7th. However, Erdogan and his party are pushing NATO member towards a holy war!

HIDING IN THE DEEP British warship & helicopter ‘chase off Russian submarine’ that was lurking off the Irish coast on spy mission for Putin

The Irish Navy does not have sonar capabilities to effectively detect underwater threats

THE British navy "chased off" a Russian submarine that was lurking off the Irish coast on an apparent spy mission, military insiders say.

A UK warship and helicopter were involved in the pursuit of the sub which was said to be probing weaknesses in British defences on its western flank.

Details of the dramatic underwater event that took place six months ago have only just emerged.

The Russian submarine reportedly stationed itself just outside the entrance to Cork Harbour on a spy mission for Vladimir Putin, military insiders told the Irish Examiner.

It was said to be accompanied by a Russian-registered 'civilian' vessel that was providing "surface surveillance".

The sources then claimed a British helicopter swooped in under the cover of darkness and dropped sonar equipment into the water.

Soon after, a Royal Navy anti-submarine frigate allegedly arrived in the area to monitor the sub's movements and "chased off" the potential threat.

Lurking at the 12-mile coastal limit, Russia's provocative movements did not break any international laws.

But the military sources revealed that such events on the Irish coast were becoming more common.

They suggested that Russia is working to find any weaknesses in British defence systems as they discovered that the UK is vulnerable near Ireland.

The Republic of Ireland's navy has no sonar capabilities, which means they are less able to effectively detect incoming underwater threats.

The military insiders also revealed that Russia has been testing British air defences off the Irish coast in recent years.

Ireland does not have fighter jets to monitor even Soviet-era Tu-95s as existing planes lack the speed and altitude to get close to them.

Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine has heavily increased fears about the vulnerability of the UK and the rest of Europe's critical defence infrastructure.

A joint investigation by Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway in April discovered that Russia was using civilian vessels to collect intelligence in the North Sea.

They tracked dozens of Russian research and fishing vessels who passed near to oil and gas fields, wind farms, power plans and military training areas.

At least 50 civilian ships have been involved in spy missions in Nordic waters in the past ten years, Norwegian public broadcaster NRK claims.

In August, Royal Navy submarine hunters and RAF patrol aircrafts tracked several Russian warships in the waters close to the UK.

Two British ships and a jet scrambled to report on the movements of Putin's navy in the English Channel, North Sea and North Atlantic.

In a show of force, the HMS Tyne, HMS Portland and P8 Poseidon all worked together to monitor the Russian threat.

A Royal Navy spokesman said at the time: "With their collective array of powerful sensors for locating and tracking, the British submarine-hunting frigate and maritime patrol aircraft are a formidable duo for locating and monitoring operations, allowing for constant surveillance from the sea and air.

"Having detected a ship or submarine, the aircraft can communicate the position, allowing a warship to intercept and track."

Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden has urged Britons to stockpile batteries, candles, torches, and radios to prepare for a possible cyber attack or power grid failure. Dowden claims that the public has become too dependent on electronics and must learn to survive without electricity. The government plans to launch a “resilience academy” to train individuals and businesses to prepare for such disasters.

Russia pushed Ukraine off the grid earlier in the war and blocked their access to the internet (war crime according to the MSM) and Israel did the same to Palestine (not a war crime according to the MSM). We have seen hackers from Iran break into US infrastructure such as waterways, as the enemy need not be your direct neighbor. The risk of cyber warfare that attacks a nation’s infrastructure is no longer a conspiracy theory but an event the public must prepare to combat.

DOS Cyber Attack We have also recently seen governments block their own people from the internet or implement temporary power outages to preserve their failing grids. It is concerning that some politicians are saying that we must prepare for natural disasters that could have the same impact. Labour frontbencher Pat McFadden used the topic to discuss energy usage among the “public estate.” “Why is it that the government’s new policy is to roll back on the transition mandated by its own legislation for net zero, and prolong a reliance on international fossil fuel markets? For these failures, the British public has paid a heavy price,” he commented.

Interestingly, they are still pushing for a cashless society despite these risks. Britons have been warned that there is a good chance something will occur that knocks them off the grid. The fact that they’re even suggesting battery-powered radios means they believe there is a chance that the grid could be down for an extended period of time and all communications will come to a standstill. The government would not be warning the people to stockpile CANDLES if they didn’t know of a serious threat lurking around the corner.

The Venezuelan Govt. Is Using Prisoners as a Proxy Force, Then Releasing Them with Fake IDs

We all know the misbehaviors committed by the de facto rulers of a certain country in South America. The government in Venezuela is releasing prisoners to do their dirty work, then allowing them to head off to parts unknown. I won´t give details but will focus on the consequences instead, as these are going to have an important impact on the life of the country in a matter of a few months.

There are recent experiences with governments releasing and using criminals and prisoners in violent conflicts, like sending them to war (a common practice in formerly communist countries) and attacking peaceful protests unchaining awful shootings against unarmed innocents. In recent weeks, over 100 prisoners were moved from one of the largest jails to another one.

Several interventions have taken place in this manner, something absolutely unusual. Take a look at the arsenal found in just one of the prisons: 170 different weapons and over 1200 cartridges…in a place supposedly controlled by the authorities. Go figure.

Word in the street is that the leaders of the most dangerous gangs have been issued fake IDs, freed, and armed. Officers of every brand have been ordered to NOT proceed against them or their gang members. This means we will see an interesting underground war between both factions this next year.

There is no need to be a genius or an investigator to understand they are very likely going to work as assault “troops” to suppress demonstrations against the regime. The use of prisoners to attack protests is a serious human rights violation, a series of continuous crimes that the International Criminal Court is investigating. It is a form of intimidation and violence designed to silence dissent.

However, the key issue here of this proxy force is the consequences this will generate. There is no possible way to know exactly who they are and where those criminals will go once they can evade customs controls with new identities. It is very likely many of them are already in the USA or other countries. I wrote previously about Venezuelan gang members in New York City.

They very probably will keep a low profile until they get used to the new environment of a new country where real freedom exists. They will have to test the waters. Understand the local and regional atmosphere and expand their connections. Very likely with other Spanish-speaking organizations like the cartels.

The use of prisoners to attack protests or in international armed conflicts is not a new phenomenon at all. This tactic was used in the past already, during the year 2017 (and earlier) protests that were sparked by the decision to hold a controversial constitutional “referendum,” just a mimic of a democratic exercise. The whole platform and the database structures are rigged to produce results favorable to the mobsters. That´s why they will refuse international observers with special knowledge and skills, claiming a “sovereign” exercise of democracy.

The United Nations human rights office has called on the Venezuelan government to investigate the incident and hold those responsible accountable. The office has also called for the rulers to stop using prisoners to attack protests.

The use of prisoners to attack protests or in other armed conflicts is a serious threat to democracy, no matter what country you´re in. It is a sign that they are willing to use violence to silence dissent. The international community must implement severe actions and pressure it to stop using prisoners to attack protests.

Several other factors contribute to the seriousness of the situation in this region.

The prison system in all of Latin America is in a state of real crisis. The prisons are overcrowded, underfunded, and poorly managed. This makes it easy for criminals to smuggle weapons and drugs into the prisons.

Many local regimes have a long history of human rights abuses: torture, extrajudicial killings, and extortion, and some of them are even involved with international terrorism while the West looks somewhere else.

The Venezuelan economy is barely recovering, very slowly, from a state of collapse. The country is past the (induced) hyperinflation process, but with an iron grip on the spot coin value and exchange ratios, and an unreal monetary policy used to profit those with USDs bought to official rates, there will be no possible development as it is contrary to the goals of the regime. The economy will suffocate and the controls will only weaken it as time passes by.

Some things are better. Food shortages have decreased, although specialized work (like mine in the oil industry) and other similar jobs were destroyed by the thousands of positions.

Most of the larger companies have fled away, and what was once excellent local production of products like car spare parts, unique in Latin America except for Argentina, is long gone. The draconian “laws” that allow the regimes to seize and confiscate whatever they feel like made many transnational companies cut losses and go to greener pastures.

There are some other economic problems with deep roots. This has led to widespread poverty and desperation, which has created a fertile environment for crime and violence in the most vulnerable and poor barrios and cities. The industrial zones in all the major cities that formerly vibrated with activity now look like a scenario of a zombie movie.

Societal control via fuel rationing is deeply harming the economy. Without any other excuse than the “economic war against the American Empire,” they allowed all sorts of uniformed forces to control the access to fuel stations, toting loaded and locked AKs. You can imagine the consequences of this already. This is done mostly to avoid mobilization and transport of groups of people. It seems not to be happening in my country but in other regions as well with commie puppet regimes, like Chile.

The best businesses I see not flourishing, but making a profit good enough for their owners are cattle raising, milk, cheese production, and producing or transforming edibles. However, these face the continuous loss of production in the way of “fees” in the roadblocks. This is something that has existed since the Spaniards’ time, and it´s so deeply rooted in the society that it´s almost to be expected. Refuse to give a bribe, expect a whole spectrum of problems.

This is something that maybe sooner or later will expand, once the societal contract the fabric imposes is cracked and no longer works. Things will have to be much more different to get to that point, though.

That being said, I have been watching a TV show that I had been unwilling to analyze for quite some time. It was a popular one, though I can´t understand how people so dumb as to not use an off-road full-body motorcycle, for example, or a riot full-body armor to avoid dying in horrendous ways were able to survive for so long.

I did find this interesting: the real hazard is not the infection itself. It´s the consequences on the remaining surviving population.

It´s the actions they have, their reactions to what happens, and how they assume their commitment to the society they belong.

I feel that so much drama, the main reason why I never took those series so seriously to begin with, can be seen in a new light. You slash with a machete a whole bunch of sick creatures that would kill and devour you in a moment, and then at night you sit (in the open field, go figure) next to a campfire and talk about your “feelings”?

Personally, I believe that they wouldn´t. Much less out in an open field. They would drink until oblivion in a very well-secured room. There are so many more important things to do that you would see how fast the time goes by.

It took me some more episodes to realize that, in an outstanding parallelism with what we are living down here, the real enemy is the human condition.

Sadly, we can consider now a perfect example of how these negative traits can lead to the downfall of a society. Maybe a slow one, but a meaningful downfall. It´s not only the engineered process designed to make the economy crumble at a global scale.

The ones holding the guns and controlling the resources don´t give a dang about the ones that have nothing. That´s the reality, one of the hidden messages this type of show tries to transmit.

Those who never had control of anything related to their own lives suddenly become despotic warlords with a thirst for revenge, stomping even on hundreds of thousands of innocents with nothing to see in their pathetic lives.

The punks in the streets are not going to be as much of a problem as the unbelievable greed and disrespect for the human life the ones who released them exhibit. Because if they did something like that, they would proceed with all sorts of aberrations.

In the face of a very complex array of problems, most people will put their own interests first. I know about that. I had to buy groceries in the black market for “fellow coworkers” with a connection. Should I not have had a 2nd job, we would have starved. I listened to those who stayed put in 2018 how they ran at the sound of a motorcycle to avoid getting robbed at gunpoint in the streets. Local laws were issued in some cities to prohibit two men on a motorcycle at different hours of the day, as many of the crimes were under this scheme. Go figure.

This is what ultimately leads to the downfall of societies, generating massive migrations and a whole set of consequences.

We are living in a time where greed, hate, and selfishness are all too common, and basic values are overlooked and mocked up.

No matter whether the disaster is hypothetical, like a zombie plague, or painfully real, like the engineered destruction of a rich country to work as a beachhead for the enemies of the American Continent democracies.

The real enemies of societies are the greedy mobsters who will do everything to keep in power, SHTF or not.

The ones with a grip over the institutions will have to be carefully elected by the communities they try to rule. Based on ethics, values, and morals.

What do you think about prisoners being released to control the population? What about the fact that they’re being given the means to leave the country afterward? Do you think some of these criminals are the ones making an entrance through our Southern border? How can we prevent similar despotism here as we go down a similar path to collapse?

As War And Civil Unrest Intensifies, Beware Of The 'Clergy Response Teams,' They Are Not There To Help You, They Are Working For The Government To Control You

With a nuclear war closer than ever before, civil war being spoken of surrounding the 2024 presidential election, an economy the media hails despite it becoming harder and harder for Americans to feed their families, and protests and violence becoming an every day occurrence, it seems to be the right time for a reminder to be careful who you trust when all hell breaks loose, and that especially includes your local clergy.

I saw a story recently about a statue of Satan being displayed in the Iowa Capitol by the Satanic Temple, which is somehow being treated as a legitimate religion.

While the display itself is concerning, it was the commentary by an Iowa Representative, Jon Dunwell, a former pastor, that reminded me not all pastors, priests or clergy, are working in their congregations best interest.

• My observation as a follower of Christ, I certainly find a display from the Satanic Temple objectionable. It stands in direct opposition to my faith and would be classified as evil. Not a new experience for me or my family. The Word of God continually warns about the dangers in our world. In fairness, many other religions or nonreligious people have the same perspective about Christianity.

• My observation as an Iowan and a State Representative, I don't want the state evaluating and making determinations about religions. I am guided by the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

The display is an inanimate object that has no real power in and of itself. We have nothing to fear.

There is more to the response but the part cited above is what caught my eye. Basically claiming that while he doesn't approve, it isn't really a problem because it is an inanimate object, while he claims he doesn't want the state making determinations about "religions." So in his mind, according to that statement, Satanism is an actual religion!

Some have actually been recruited by the government to "guide" their flock into doing the bidding of the government in times of crisis, war, emergency disasters. Worse yet, those clergy members that agree to be a government mouthpiece, also has forms to fill out which provides the government information about members of the church, without their knowledge.

When the world, and the country is as volatile as it is right now, it is time to remind folks about Clergy Response Teams.

In a 33 page PDF from June 2018, titled "Engaging Faith-based and Community Organizations: Planning Considerations for Emergency Managers," we see more of what has previously been known about the Clergy Response Teams set up by FEMA.

While on the face of it, it is a plan to engage church leaders, calling them "partners" in times of emergency, creating plans to "help" their congregants, but when you delve into the document, and previous news of Clergy Response Teams, we see more than just the government using clergy to control their congregations on behalf of FEMA aka the government.

They are also asked to provide information about the people that attend their churches.

Page 25 of the PDF linked above, Appendix B: Individual Skills Survey, begins with "Partner organizations can use this customizable form to inventory the current emergency skills of individuals within their organizations."

What type of information are they asking for? Name, over the age of 18, yes or no, Home Address (Street/City/Zip), Home phone, work cell phone, email, Position or service activity with current organization, if any.

Then a long list of boxes to check representing "Special Skills / Training / Work Experience."

Most of the content of the document seems innocuous, until you understand that the specific clergy member becomes their "partner" and the church members become government "resources."

This guide provides a foundation for emergency managers to engage with faith-based and community organizations that can be partners in building a culture of preparedness and enhancing the security and resiliency of our nation. Faith-based and community organizations offer a wide variety of human and material resources that can prove invaluable during and after an incident. Collaborating with these vital community members will allow emergency managers to access a multitude of local resources and ensure members of the whole community can contribute to the disaster resilience effort.

The government is using churches to use their members to contribute not what they want to contribute but what the government determines you, as a resource, will contribute.

Analogy: Think of a person using their money to give to a charity of their choice versus government taking money from Americans for taxes, and then decide what they think your money should go towards.

The FEMA document cited above was from 2018, but ANP and other Independent Media websites have been aware of and have reported on the FEMA Clergy Response Teams for well over a decade, and earlier reports covered different aspects of the responsibilities the clergy will have.

In a KSLA 12 news report, reported on by Paul Joseph Watson in 2007, it was reported the clergy Response Teams were being trained by the federal government "to 'quell dissent' and pacify citizens to obey the government in the event of a declaration of martial law."

It was related to the Pastors that quarantines, martial law and forced relocation were a problem for state authorities when enforcing federal mandates due to the "cowboy mentality" of citizens standing up for their property and second amendment rights as well as farmers defending their crops and livestock from seizure.

It was stressed that the Pastors needed to preach subservience to the authorities ahead of time in preparation for the round-ups and to make it clear to the congregation that "this is for their own good."

That KSLA 12 report from 2007, is titled "Homeland Security Enlists Clergy to Quell Public Unrest if Martial Law Ever Declared."

In 2013 FEMA's PDF was titled "Guide for Developing High Quality Emergency Operations Plans for Houses of Worship, and that one was 38 pages.

If you attend church, ask your pastor straight out of he is a member of FEMA's Clergy Response Team. If they cannot give you a yes or no answer, nor looking you in the eye while trying to distract you with a non-answer.....you have your answer.

At a time when we are facing a number of threats, from within and from without, from war to terror attacks to violent protests and threats on campuses, massive demonstrations that can turn violent, to the newly blared headlines of a "syndemic," which could cause the government to once again attempt to lock the nation down, it is definitely also a time to remind readers of the Clergy Response Teams who are part of a system that are meant to help lead the masses like sheep to the slaughter.

The man being interviewed below, Stan Szymanski, did ask his pastor and others, and you will hear about the cryptic responses below.

Story by Joseph Ellis • 1h
The Biden administration imposed a record fine of $37.7 million on Grand Canyon University (GCU), which has experienced significant growth and success.

The Department of Education’s penalty is notably larger than fines imposed on schools involved in serious criminal cases.

The administration’s actions are seen as targeting institutions that don’t align with prevailing government-run school ideologies.
GCU has been accused of violating federal disclosure laws, but the motivation behind the fine appears to be punitive rather than evidence-based.

The government alleged that the university violated federal disclosure laws by insufficiently disclosing to PhD students that they may have to take continuing courses while completing their doctoral dissertations.

The Goldwater Institute has sought transparency on the matter and intends to sue for disclosure if necessary.

Despite the challenges, GCU continues to provide innovative and affordable education, standing up against what is perceived as an assault on higher education.

California coffee shop fires antisemitic employees who blocked Jewish customer from using bathroom

Three employees at the California coffee shop, who were seen blocking a Jewish woman from using the bathroom while making anti-Israel comments in a now-viral video, are now out of a java job.

Amy and Chris Hillyard, the owners of Farley’s East in Oakland, posted on social media Sunday that the employees seen on the video berating the customer “was shocking and unacceptable” and are now jobless due to their actions.

“We do not tolerate any behavior at Farley’s that makes people feel unwelcome or unsafe. Because this act was not aligned with our values, the employees involved in the incident are no longer employed by Farley’s,” the Hillyard’s posted on the shop’s social media.

“Events like these strike fear in the Jewish community and perpetuate the rise of anti-Semitism in our community and around the world.”

“We can and must do better — and this starts with us creating a safe space for anyone who patronizes our coffeehouse.”

The video, recorded by the customer, showed three of its employees blocking the women from using the shop’s restroom.

The customer, who claims to have gone into the bathroom beforehand and noticed antisemitic graffiti written on the mirror saying, “Zionism = fascism” and “Your neutrality/apathy is enabling genocide” scribbled on a diaper-changing station, was attempting to re-enter to document the remarks when the employees prevented her.

One of the employees started telling the customer the café was “private property” and she needed to leave.

Stay on top of news out of the Israel-Hamas war and the global surge in antisemitism with The Post’s Israel War Update, delivered right to your inbox every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

As the customer stands her ground, insisting on using the public restroom, another employee says, “I know Israel loves taking private property and saying it’s their own, but we got to head [out],” while gesturing his hand toward the door.

Telling the out-of-touch employees she was a “patron” at the shop and had a “right” to use the bathroom, the male employee doubles down and tells her they “have a right to refuse service.”

As the customer goes back and forth with Farley’s employees, a woman who works at a neighboring business offers her to use their bathroom.

“I should not be excluded when other people are allowed,” she told the employee from the neighboring business.

One of the coffee shop employees tells her she can “use the other restroom” in the café, but the customer insists on using the one with the graffiti.

“All you’re going to get is a video of us saying that ‘Zionism is antisemitism’ because it is,” said the employee.

“If you agree with [the graffiti], why are you afraid that I take a picture of it?” the customer responded.

As she enters to film the bathroom, the male employee rudely claims that “history didn’t start in 1948, lady,” seemingly referring to the year in which Israel was established.

“Free Palestine. Now please go,” one of the staffers chimed in, as the male employee repeated the phrase, adding, “It’s always… great, we LOVE it.”

The employees also accused the woman of “misgendering” an employee during the altercation.

The video gained more than 2.6 million views when it was posted on Tuesday by StopAntisemitism.

Before the three employees were fired, Farley’s issued an apology Thursday after amassing outrage from the viral video.

“The staff handled the situation poorly and we apologize for this error and the distress caused to the customer. We’ve taken corrective measures with our staff and removed the offensive graffiti,” the coffee shop said in their initial apology.

“We’re committed to ongoing staff training for a safe and welcoming environment. Thank you for understanding that we are a small business doing our best to operate a community business in a difficult environment.”

Once the European white man discovered North America, he began to “colonize” this continent to the point where it subverted 522 Native American tribes. The white settlers drove Indians out of their lands on the East Coast to the Midwest, and after Lewis & Clark, European settlers ravaged Indians all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Very much the same happened in Canada! Many of the tribes suffered extinction at the hands of the white man from diseases and outright slaughter. Indians with bows and arrows did not stand a chance against mechanized calvary, rifles and canons.

After defeating all those tribes, the American government placed Indians on reservations where they remain today. Very few Native Americans mix with American society. Their customs, their language, and their religions did not/do not work well with our high-speed civilization. In fact, they were considered savages. The Indians’ children were placed in orphanages to try to convert them into white man’s ways.

The results continue today in confused lives, alcoholism, domestic violence, drugs, welfare, food stamps, government housing and an aimlessness not understood by average white Americans. Ironically, they build casinos on their reservations, but no amount of the white man’s money can rebuild Indian cultures, religions, languages, life-purposes and good health.

Whether you read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, The Sand Creek Massacre or Trail of Tears-—nothing can bring back or correct what happened to Native Americans.

From that point in the late 1800’s, the white man completely controlled North America.

But in 2023, America faces a new “colonization” by different tribes from around the world. They crash America’s borders by the millions. They arrive with incompatible/terrorist religions that expect to dominate America. Who is that? Answer: Muslims of the Islamic religion. It is a political-religion of conquest. It makes no bones about it.

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Omar Ahmed, director of Council on American Islamic Relations.

This past week, the C.A.I.R. director praised Hamas and supports the genocide of Israeli Jews, in fact, all Jews. He’s got 8 million American Muslims to back him up.

“The precept of the Koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force”. John Quincy Adams: written in 1829

If that doesn’t send a shiver up your spine, what will? Muslims have completely invaded Europe. They’ve changed everything in Europe. From civil society in European countries, no one can escape the violence of Muslims whether it’s outright terrorist attacks, or Muslims decapitating people on the streets of Paris or London in single acts of terror. Thousands of cases of such terror attacks are recorded by Robert Spencer at www.jihadwatch.org

Today, we’ve got between 4 and 8 million Muslims in America. We’ve got terrorist cells growing with Biden’s open borders for the past 35 months. They arrive with no intention, whatsoever, of becoming American citizens who are loyal to the U.S. Constitution. They remain loyal to the Qur’an and Sharia Law. That “law” stands in direct opposition to our Constitution. They plan to install Sharia Law as their numbers grow.

As a matter of fact, one look at 300,000 Muslims in Detroit, Michigan will show you that de facto Sharia Law is already being practiced with honor killings, female genital mutilation and women are valued at ½ that of a male Muslim. You can take them out of the desert, but you cannot civilize them as shown by all the great men of history such as Churchill, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and dozens of other thinkers. They said that Islam is the worst retrograde religion on this planet.

What other kind of colonization? Right now, reports by Clayton Morris show that a caravan grows with 4,000,000 people in lower Mexico. They expect to arrive at our southern border by mid-January 2024. He made a 15-minute video: America is about to change forever by mid-January 2024.

After watching that video, you need to start sharing it with your networks. You need to write your two senators and House member. You need to take any kind of action to make this issue the number one issue of the presidential race. We’re talking about the end of our country as we know it. This massive invasion will fracture and fragment us into caliphates, tribes, racial conflict, religious conflict and ultimately, break us into pieces.

Biden has already imported 8,000,000 illegal aliens from over 100 countries. He’s giving them cell phones, credit cards and tickets to fly or bus to any city they demand. They come from Russia, China, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Somalia, Kurdistan, Yemen, India, and another 90 countries. They are costing us $163,000,000,000.00 annually to sustain them. That’s all those Muslims in Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Denver and beyond. They live on welfare payments. Once a lady drops her baby on our soil, she is paid $2,200.00 monthly to care for that baby. Those refugees receive SSI payments, WIC, ADC and Section 8 Housing.

So, the questions become: When does it end? Can we take on another 10 million or 20 million or 50 million refugees? The reason I ask these questions stems from the fact that those refugees come for an overload of 83,000,000 new babies born annually, net gain, on this planet. In other words, there is no end to the line. So, can we save all of them? How long before we become like Europe’s countries? What happens when our systems collapse from the sheer numbers? What are we going to do when our citizens breakdown into chaos? What happens when the Muslim terrorists start their internal war against us? Do you not understand that total chaos will visit us at some point?

Final questions: how stupid and senile is this president and how stupid is the U.S. Congress and how stupid are the American people to sit by and watch their country devolve into a third world country?

At least 6 dead after severe storms, tornadoes hit Tennessee, leave trail of damage

Severe storms that tore through central Tennessee killed six people Saturday and sent at least 60 others to area hospitals, as homes and businesses were damaged in multiple cities. Almost 40,000 electricity customers were still without power across Tennessee on Sunday morning, according to the tracking site poweroutage.us.

Three people, including a child, were killed after a tornado struck Montgomery County north of Nashville near the Kentucky state line, county officials said in a news release. And the Nashville Emergency Operation Center said in a post on a social media account that another three people were killed by severe storms there.

Montgomery County officials said 62 people were treated for injuries at hospitals overnight. Nine of the injured were transferred from area hospitals to Vanderbilt Medical Center. Jimmy Edwards, chief of Montgomery County Emergency Services, described their conditions as "critical" and "unstable."

Officials in the city of Clarksville, which is about 50 miles northwest of Nashville and where a 9 p.m. curfew was in effect Sunday for the second night in a row, confirmed three deaths linked to the storm at a news conference. At the time, Clarksville Fire Chief Freddie Montgomery said teams, including special operations crews, were still carrying out secondary searches in the area.

Fire officials responded to one structure fire Sunday morning and received "a lot of other medical calls, and calls related to that," Montgomery told reporters. Different parts of the city sustained different levels of damage, Edwards added. He said homes in some areas were "totally destroyed," while the damage in other areas ranged from "slight" to "heavy."

Earlier, Nashville police identified three of the victims killed as the storm hit a mobile home community in Madison, a neighborhood in the northeastern part of the city. They were identified as 37-year-old Joseph Dalton, 31-year-old Floridema Gabriel Perez and her son, 2-year-old Anthony Elmer Mendez. Police said in a news release that Dalton was inside his mobile home "when the strength of the storm rolled it on top of Perez's residence." Two other children, Perez's 7-year-old son and Dalton's 10-year-old son, were also inside their respective homes when the storm hit. The two kids were transported to a pediatric hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening, according to police.

A building collapse at a Nashville church sent 13 people to local hospitals, the Nashville Office of Emergency Management reported late Saturday night. The patients were all in stable condition.

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office noted it was "still in the search and rescue phase of this disaster."

"We've been hit very hard by a tornado here in Clarksville and Montgomery County," Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden said in a video posted to social media Saturday evening.

Photos posted by the Clarksville fire department on social media showed damaged houses with debris strewn in the lawns, a tractor trailer flipped on its side on a highway and insulation ripped out of building walls.

"We still have a lot of power lines down, there are a lot of areas that are unsafe," Golden said.

Residents were asked to stay at home while first responders evaluated the situation.

"We know there's extensive damage throughout the community, so we need to take care of families who are desperately in need of help," Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts said in the video.

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said in an earlier statement that a tornado touched down around 2 p.m. local time. A shelter was set up at a local high school.

Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell declared a state of emergency to allow for the city to receive state and federal emergency resources.

"Tonight, Nashville joins other communities across Middle Tennessee grieving loss of life from deadly tornadoes," O'Connell wrote on social media. "As we continue to take stock of the devastation, please keep our neighbors in your thoughts and prayers. Be safe and look after one another."

The Nashville Office of Emergency Management said that "a large and extremely dangerous tornado" that was moving east was reported by the National Weather Service in White Bluff, a town about 30 miles east of Nashville, and severe weather hit the Nashville area at about 4 p.m. local time.

Shanika Washington told the Associated Press that as soon as she heard the storm sirens going off in her Clarksville neighborhood, she took her children, ages 5 and 10, to a windowless bathroom in the basement of her townhouse.

"The lights were flickering, so I knew it was somewhere close in the vicinity," she said. "I just kept praying to God as it was going on. It was very terrifying and scary."

During their 20 harrowing minutes in the bathroom, Washington hovered over her children as a protective shield.

"The back door absolutely did fly open, and you just heard a bunch of wind," she said. "The blinds and stuff were like shaking really bad. I could tell that we were dead smack in the middle of a storm."

When she came out of the bathroom, she looked out of a window and saw the destruction: Debris swept onto cars that had their windows broken out. Shutters ripped from homes. Some roofs were ripped off townhouses. Air conditioning units and backyard grills were tossed like toys, and wooden dividers between townhouses were missing.

Because the power in the area was out, Washington took her children to a hotel for the night.

"I'm still shaken up a little bit, so I probably won't get much sleep tonight," Washington said. "I'm still trying to just kind of like process it all."

More than 56,000 customers were without power in Tennessee as of late Saturday night, according to utility tracker PowerOutage.us. The city of Springfield, located about 30 miles east of Clarksville, reported Saturday night that power was out to the entire city, and asked its residents to stay off the roads.

The National Weather Service issued multiple tornado warnings in Tennessee, and said it planned to survey an area where an apparent tornado hit in Kentucky.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said he and his wife, Maria, were praying for all Tennesseans who had been affected by the storms.

"We mourn the lives lost and ask that everyone continue to follow guidance from local and state officials," Lee said in a statement.

The storm came nearly two years to the day after the National Weather Service recorded 41 tornadoes through a handful of states, including 16 in Tennessee and eight in Kentucky. A total of 81 people died in Kentucky alone.

EXCLUSIVE Newly-discovered 50-mile fault line in Canada could cause massive TSUNAMI in northwestern US if it ruptures

Over a million Americans in the northeastern US could be at risk of a tsunami due to a newly discovered fault line.

Scientists have found an approximately 45-mile-long fracture in the Earth that runs through British Columbia in Canada and escaped detection for thousands of years.

Experts suspect that because of the layout of the fault it could spark a large earthquake in Canada.

The quake's effects could generate a tsunami in the area around the Georgia Basin, which could hit parts of Washington, as well as British Columbia.

The discovery was made by a team that included Nick Harrichhausen, a postdoctoral researcher at the Université Grenoble Alpes in France.

Harrichhausen and his colleagues found that the fault's two massive rock blocks slipped against each other and generated a major earthquake several thousand years ago.

In fact, because of the Pacific Northwest's numerous geological fault lines - not just the newly discovered one - he encourages people to stay prepared for a possible earthquake by keeping several days worth of food, water, medicine, and emergency supplies.

Named the XEOLXELEK-Elk Lake Fault (XELF for short), the geological intersection runs diagonally across the Saanich Peninsula north of Victoria from the northwest to the southeast.

The reason for its possible destruction, Harrichhausen said, is that the XELF is what's known as a 'dip-slip' fault, where two blocks of rock move up-and-down art their point of contact, as opposed to side-to-side.

'Because we document dip-slip, which produced vertical offset of the Earth's surface, and the fact this this fault would likely rupture underwater, there is potential an earthquake on this fault would produce a local tsunami in the Georgia Basin,' said Harrichhausen.

Most earthquakes occur along the edges of tectonic plates, known as plate boundaries.

At the XEOLXELEK-Elk Lake fault, two blocks of Earth met, and one slipped upward.

If seafloor in the Haro Strait one day gets pushed up by an earthquake, it could push up against the water overlying it, into the surrounding Georgia Basin.

Even if the sea floor was uplifted by only a few meters, this can be enough to displace several cubic kilometers of water and send a series of waves outwards from the earthquake epicenter.

The height of the tsunami waves on shore depends on several factors, such as the distance and direction from the earthquake epicenter, the depth and shape of the sea floor, and shape of the coast line.

The Georgia Basin encompasses the cities of Bellingham, Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia in the US, and Vancouver, Victoria, and Whistler in Canada.

'Given the XEOLXELEK-Elk Lake fault hosted an earthquake within the Holocene (last 12,000 years), we have to consider that it is active and that it could host another earthquake of a similar magnitude (or lesser) to the one we observe in our study,' he said.

This ancient quake, with a magnitude of 6.1 to 7.6 on the Richter scale, rocked the region along this fault line between 4,700 and 2,300 years ago, Harrichhausen and his colleagues found.

For comparison, an M 6 earthquake has the power equivalent to 60 million kilograms of TNT, and an M 7 packs the power of 20 billion kilograms.

'An earthquake of these magnitudes would be damaging, especially given its proximity to urban areas,' Harrichhausen said. 'In terms of a timeline it is not possible to predict when the next earthquake will be.'

Not only could it rock the 400,000+ people in the immediate vicinity of the fault, but it could create a tsunami in the larger region, he explained.

'This particular fault certainly has implications for people in the US as we map it to possibly connect underneath the Haro Strait and the US border to the Devils Mountain fault in Washington State,' said Harrichhausen.

'Thus a rupture could extend to the United States, and even if it didn't, a large earthquake on the XEOLXELEK-Elk Lake would be felt by people in the northern Puget Sound area.'

Calculating when an event like this could occur is challenging, though, even for geologists.

'The only thing we can do is look at the past earthquake recurrence interval (the average number of years between earthquakes),' he said.

And the new study is limited in making this calculation because it requires at least two separate earthquakes to estimate the time between ruptures.

'Also, keep in mind this is a very rough calculation because the times between earthquakes can vary hugely,' he added. 'Therefore, more studies could allow us to better understand the hazard the fault poses.'

Harrichausen and his colleagues explored the fault line by digging a trench across it, enabling them to search for signs of earthquakes and fault line shifts in the geological history.

Minerals in the rocks have different levels of magnetism, so measuring these differences can show whether large rock formations formed at the same time and stayed in shape, or whether they were broken up.

What they found was that, sometime after glaciers had carved the landscape, the slip-dip fault had shifted the land.

They calculated this to be sometime within the last 12,000 years, likely within the window between 4,700 and 2,300 years ago.

If another quake does occur, Harrichhausen said, people in the region can take some basic steps to prepare.

'Earthquake preparedness experts suggest that people secure large furniture and appliances, create a disaster plan, organize disaster supplies for at least 3 days and up to 2 weeks of self-reliance (food, water, medicine, etc.), and take steps to minimize financial hardship,' he said.

In a recent revelation, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn shared a profound mystery predicting the recent Hamas invasion in Israel, disclosed the night before the events transpired. During a Friday night service at Beth Israel, Rabbi Cahn delved into an ancient mystery foretelling an attack on Israel with specific details, documented in the transcript from his video message.

Rooted in God's instructions to Moses about the Jubilee over 3,000 years ago, the mystery signifies restoration and the return of ancestral possessions every 50 years. Rabbi Cahn meticulously traced this jubilean pattern through critical moments in Israel's history, revealing a divine orchestration that defies human comprehension.

The mystery first surfaced in 1897 when Theodore Herzl proclaimed the founding of the Jewish state, predicting its recognition by the world in 50 years. This set the stage for the U.N. vote in 1947 that brought Israel back into existence. Rabbi Cahn connects these dots, illustrating the precision with which the mystery unfolds.

The jubilean rhythm continued with the restoration of Jerusalem in 1967 during the Six-Day War. Legal recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's eternal capital came 50 years later in 2017, a proclamation issued by then-President Donald Trump. Rabbi Cahn reveals the intricate design of the mystery, emphasizing its impact not only on Israel but also on the global stage.

However, the mystery extends beyond historical restorations into unforeseen realms. Rabbi Cahn contends that this jubilean pattern played a role in determining significant global events, including the exact entry of the COVID pandemic onto American soil. The pandemic's end and other pivotal moments align with this divine mystery, illustrating its pervasive influence.

As Rabbi Cahn unveils the jubilean mystery, he connects it to the recent Hamas invasion. Speaking on Oct. 6, 2023, precisely 50 years after the Yom Kippur War in 1973, he reveals that the mystery ordained another massive ground invasion of Israel. The intricate correlation between the jubilean timeline and the unfolding events on Israeli soil is astonishing.

The timeline between the two events, the victory of the Six-Day War and the subsequent Yom Kippur War, spans 2,315 days. Fast forward 50 years, marking a jubilee after the Six-Day War, and the revelation becomes apparent. On June 5, 2017, the United States Senate passed a resolution declaring Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel, a significant victory on the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War.

Contemplating a spiritual backlash, the same number of days from the start of the Six-Day War to its jubilee, applied to the Yom Kippur War, leads to Oct. 7, 2023. This date, the 2,315th day, aligns with a counterattack and calamity as Hamas invades Israel.

The Josiah Manifesto The mystery deepens as leap years play a role in the timeline. While the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War had two leap years between them, the 50-year span only encompasses one leap year. Consequently, the attack by Hamas unfolded precisely on Oct. 7, 2023.

This intricate unveiling of events underscores a spiritual battle transcending the earthly realm. As forces aligned against Israel spread across the globe, people unwittingly join a war that spans thousands of years—a spiritual conflict with profound implications.

The spiritual forces that guided Hamas on that fateful day weren't merely tactical; they were dark, ancient entities, principalities, attempting to fulfill an age-old vendetta against the Jewish people.

This revelation reinforces the biblical truth that evil is real, and Satan's specificity in targeting Israel stems from the nation's divine calling to be witnesses of God's reality. The spiritual war waged against Israel now extends into cultural arenas, influencing societies far beyond the Middle East.

Farmers are angry in France! French farmers’ signpost protests indicate a major clash on the horizon

Farmers in the Brittany region of France on Wednesday staged a protest using tractors in the city of Rennes in response to the government’s agricultural policies.

The protesting farmers argue that they are burdened with excessive regulations in the context of their agricultural activities.

According to local reports, upon reaching the headquarters of the Brittany Regional Council, the farmers spread straw in the parking lot and scattered official documents.

Later, the farmers proceeded to the front of the regional directorate of agriculture and forestry with their tractors, where they spread grass.

According to a statement from the Rennes police on the social media platform X, the farmers conducted the protest using 100 tractors.

Whilst the French are famous for their readiness to protest, as we’ve seen elsewhere in the West, there is a concerted attack on farmers, and the food supply more generally, and it’s only a matter of time before totalitarian legislation comes for France’s farmers; as the following analysis from John Lichfield in TheLocal.fr:

If you’re in rural France you might have seen village signposts turned upside down – rather than a simple prank this is a protest from young French farmers which could, writes John Lichfield, be the start of a major clash between farmers, environmentalists and the government.

Normandy has been turned upside down. So, it appears, have large parts of France.

In my corner of Calvados almost all the name signs at the edge of towns and village have been unbolted and replaced the wrong way up. A scribbled sign beside the road announces: “Nous marchons sur la tête.” (We are walking on our heads).

Is this the action of a night-time gang of rural surrealists? Does it announce the return of the Gilets Jaunes?

No. It is part of an agricultural “rebellion of the signs” which started in the Gard in south-eastern France two weeks ago and has spread like a prairie fire across the country.

The protest, devised by Jeunes Agriculteurs, the young farmers organisation, warns of more disruptive action to come if the government does nothing to address a thicket of agricultural grievances.

Actually, it has become less common than it used to be. Farmers have been relatively quiet for several years. They snubbed the Gilets Jaunes protests which began in rural and outer suburban France five years ago.

The government evidently takes the threat of a farming revolt seriously. The Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne met agri-union leaders on Tuesday and caved in instantly to two of their main demands.

Farmers were supposed to pay out €47 million next year in increased licence fees for pumping water from the ground and for pumping pesticides and other chemicals into it. Those provisions have now been cut from the 2024 national budget before it even passed through parliament.

Other grievances remain. Farmers are furious, inter alia, about an unratified EU treaty with South America which would bring cheap Brazilian and Argentinian beef into France.

They also complain about the rise in the price of agricultural diesel fuel (on which they already pay much reduced tax) and delays in the payment of the EU subsidies (of which France receives €7.5 billion a year, more than any other country).

Most of all they complain that France has no clear strategy for balancing the needs of farming and an ecologically friendly future.

Philippe Bardy, leader of the main agricultural union, the FNSEA, in Tarn where the upside-down protest began, said: “Government wants us to change the way we farm; it also urges us to produce as much as possible in the name of food sovereignty. They pressure us to keep salaries high; they also demand that we reduce prices to calm inflation.”

He has a point. Successive French governments for seven decades (with one or two exceptions) have pursued a schizophrenic, or hypocritical approach to farm policy.

They have paid lip-service to “family farms” and “France’s exceptional food quality”. They have allowed or encouraged EU subsidies to be weighted towards the intensive, chemical-drenched cereal farms and large agri-food industries which make France one of the world’s largest mass exporters of food.

Farming unions are also to blame. The once dominant union, the Fédération Nationale des Syndicats d’Exploitant Agricoles (FNSEA), has traditionally been dominated by the cereals interests which have turned swathes of northern France into a green desert. It has resisted any radical shift in EU subsidies away from large farms to small.

There were 750,000 French farms at the turn of the 21st century. There are now around 450,000.

Despite this steep fall in numbers, two out of five French farmers earn less than €4,500 a year. Without subsidies from Brussels, tens of thousands of them would make a loss.

One of my neighbours in Normandy happens to be president of the Calvados beef farmers. He once explained to me the economics of what, for France, is a big-to-medium farm with 280 animals.

Daniel Courval and his wife Christine make €25,000 profit from two people’s annual work but the farm receives €50,000 in subsidies from the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP.) Without them, they would make a €25,000 annual loss, and there would be no farm.

This fragile world is threatened by two new-ish factors. More than half of France’s remaining farmers are over 50 years old and will retire before the end of the next decade. There is, so far, no clear national policy for encouraging would-be young farmers to replace them.

Farming is the second biggest source of carbon emissions in France after transport.

Agriculture is supposed to reduce its greenhouse emissions such as methane- a large part of which emanates from the front and back of cows – by 16 percent by 2030.

And what of humans who eat the WEF-endorsed vegan diet which causes them to emit 7-times more ’emissions’ of their own, when compared to meat eaters?

Beef production is falling but beef-eating is increasing again. The government wants France to produce more of its own food. This implies more intensive farming; the ecological transition implies the opposite. French farmers detest the idea of imports from countries which impose weaker environmental constraints than the EU.

Emmanuel Macron claims, with some reason, to be a farm-friendly President. He has promised to fight post-Brexit cuts in the EU farm subsidies. He is refusing to sign the Mercosur – South American – trade treaty in its present form.

But his government has skirted around or paid lip-service to solving the contradictions listed above, between productivity and ecology, mass-production and quality production, family farms and cheap food. So, until now, have the big farm unions.

At some time before the end of the year, the government is expected to address these issues in a “farming pact” or “orientation law for the future of agriculture.|”

If it fails to grapple with the core of the problem – and possibly even more so if it does – rural France could be turned upside down for real next year. [Local]

Utah and Wyoming buried in feet of snow! In some places you can’t even find/enter your car!

Footage taken on Monday shows a number of vehicles buried under more than 4 feet of snow in Little Cottonwood Canyon in northern Utah.

In the video, many of the vehicles appear as large white mounds with only black windshield wipers sticking out of the snow.

People were digging for hours in hopes of freeing the vehicles from the thick layer of snow, according to Luke Stone, who shot the footage.

“Dozens of cars had not moved or been touched since the storm started, so they were totally buried,” Stone said.

The early-winter burial began on Friday, when 16.5 inches of snow fell, according to the nearby Alta Ski Resort. On Saturday, 20 additional inches fell, followed by 19 more inches on Sunday.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) has announces that it will open four additional lifts and a variety of terrain in the coming days after a strong winter storm recently pushed the resort’s snowfall to over 100 inches (2.5 metres) this season. Another winter storm is currently hitting the Tetons, giving visitors improving early-season conditions across the resort.

JHMR officially opened the Casper lift on Wednesday and will open both the Bridger Gondola and the Marmot lift today, Friday, Dec. 8. Jackson Hole will also open both the Thunder and Sublette lifts on Saturday, Dec. 9, offering a wide expanse of intermediate and advanced terrain in addition to runs on the north side of the mountain already available via the Teewinot, Après Vous, Teton, and Sweetwater lifts.

Last weekend’s winter storm brought the resort’s snowfall since Dec. 1 to 31 inches (77cm), and heavy snow has resumed is expected to continue throughout the weekend.

“Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s snow making and grooming crews have done incredible work for weeks to offer our visitors early-season skiing, but there’s nothing like a winter storm in the Tetons to open up additional lifts and terrain,” said JHMR president Mary Kate Buckley.

The latest round of openings will mark the beginning of the first full season of the new Thunder lift, which the resort reports was the most popular lift on the upper mountain last year. Installed in 2022 as a replacement for the Resort’s original Thunder lift, the new Thunder runs twice as fast as its predecessor and cuts down on riders’ time from more than seven minutes to less than four, all while giving visitors the same access to some of JHMR’s most legendary terrain.

Jackson Hole is continuing its policy, initially introduced in the pandemic, of limiting the sale of daily tickets and managing capacity for a fourth consecutive year in 2023-24. They say this greatly improves guests’ experiences on the mountain and throughout the resort. Ticket sales are limited on a daily basis and are available for advanced purchase and tickets may sell out.

Thousands of tons of dead fish wash ashore in Japan - three months after the nation released treated Fukushima radioactive water into the sea

Thousands of tons of dead fish have washed up on a beach in northern Japan, prompting speculation that the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant has wrought havoc on local ecosystems.

The sardines and some mackerel washed ashore in Hakodate on Japan's northernmost main island of Hokkaido on Thursday morning, creating an unsettling sliver blanket that covered almost a mile of shoreline.

Officials could not come up with an explanation for the phenomenon, but Takashi Fujioka, a Hakodate Fisheries Research Institute researcher, posited a number of theories as to why the fish could have died en-masse.

He said they may have become exhausted due to a lack of oxygen while moving in a densely packed school in shallow waters, or may have suddenly entered cold waters during their migration and succumbed to shock.

There have been several recorded cases of similar phenomena springing up on several parts of Japan's coastline.

But this particular phenomenon occurred just three months after Japanese authorities began releasing treated radioactive water back into the sea - a move which angered its neighbours including China and South Korea.

China has since banned Japanese seafood and criticized the country as being 'extremely selfish and irresponsible', with the Chinese Communist Party's flagship newspaper The Global Times writing it could open 'Pandora's box' and trigger fears of a 'real-life Godzilla'.

South Korean protestors also attempted to enter the Japanese embassy in Seoul carrying banners which read 'The sea is not Japan's trash bin'.

Local residents observing the shoreline in Hakodate said they had never seen anything like it.

Some gathered the fish to sell or eat, prompting the town to urge residents not to consume the fish in a notice posted on its website,

The decomposing fish could lower oxygen levels in the water and affect the marine environment, Fujioka said.

'We don't know for sure under what circumstances these fish were washed up, so I do not recommend eating them,' he concluded.

In March 2011 the Fukushima power plant was wrecked after an earthquake and subsequent tsunami destroyed the plant's cooling systems, causing three reactors to melt.

Now, an undersea tunnel is being used to discharge the radioactive water treated by the Advanced Liquid Processing System, which uses a process called isotopic dilution to render the water less dangerous.

This process sees tritium - a less harmful radioactive isotope - added to the contaminated water which is subsequently mixed with 'clean seawater', diluting the concentration of more harmful substances.

But critics say a lack of long-term data means it is impossible to say with certainty that tritium poses no threat to human health or the marine environment.

Greenpeace said the radiological risks had not been fully assessed and that the biological impacts of tritium 'have been ignored'.

Russia threatens military strikes on Western countries if Ukraine's newly-donated F-16s are based in NATO territory

Russian foreign ministry said F-16s in NATO countries will be legitimate targets

Russia has threatened to target Western countries with missile strikes if Ukraine's newly-donated F-16 fighters are based in NATO territory.

Such an act by Vladimir Putin would also certainly trigger a World War Three scenario between the West and Russia.

It comes as the Kremlin warned today that a nuclear world war is closer than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Maria Zakharova - spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry - warned the West that the advanced F-16 fighters delivered to Ukraine will be a fair target for Russia if they are based in NATO countries.

She said that the fourth-generation fighter jets could be based in Poland, Slovakia and Romania, meaning NATO is 'getting deeper' into the Ukrainian conflict.

'There have been many questions asked about the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine,' said Zakharova, 47.

She continued: 'I would like to say that NATO member states continue, as you understand, to intensively arm Ukraine and the supply of tactical fighters is next.

'Given the fact that a significant part of Ukraine's airfield infrastructure has been destroyed, it is possible that these American fighters will be based outside the country, in Poland, Slovakia and Romania.

'Thus, the North Atlantic Alliance is getting deeper and deeper into the Ukrainian conflict.'

In August, the United States approved sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine from Denmark and the Netherlands to defend against Russia. They are expected to arrive in Ukraine next year.

Holding the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Zakharova is Russia's most senior woman diplomat and issued a specific threat to NATO countries on behalf of her boss, Putin's hawkish 73-year-old Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Zakharova continued: 'The West is waging a hybrid war against our country under the slogan of saving Ukraine.

'At the same time, they also agreed that their main goal is to prevent confrontation with Russia.

'Funny. In reality, the risks of a direct military clash between Russia and NATO are only increasing.

'For the Russian armed forces, fighters participating in the conflict on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, no matter where they fly from, will be a legitimate target for destruction.'

Her blast coincides with a warning from the deputy head of the Russian security council, Dmitry Medvedev, a former Kremlin president and prime minister.

'Never since the Cuban Missile Crisis has the threat of a direct clash between Russia and NATO leading to the Third World War been so real,' he said.

More than 21 months into the biggest conflict in Europe since World War Two, fighting rages on in Ukraine with no end in sight and neither side has landed a telling blow on the battlefield.

Ukrainian soldiers, living in freezing trenches, acknowledge they are exhausted going into a second winter of full-scale war with a resource-rich, nuclear-armed superpower that has more than triple Ukraine's population.

Ukrainians know they must secure Western military aid to carry on - and that it will be harder with the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza distracting global attention.

Russian troops, who occupy about 17.5% of Ukraine, are again on the offensive in the east after largely withstanding a Ukrainian counteroffensive that was unable to punch through sprawling defensive lines in the south and east.

The darkening outlook contrasts starkly with Kyiv's buoyant mood a year ago, after Ukrainians defied expectations by beating back Russian troops around their capital before recapturing territory in the northeast and south, including Kherson city.

The toll keeps mounting in a war that has already killed or wounded hundreds of thousands of people, destroyed Ukrainian cities, towns and villages, forced millions from their homes and placed hundreds of thousands more under occupation.

But the passage of vital military and financial assistance from the West is no longer happening smoothly.

Indeed, on Wednesday, the US Senate Republicans gave Putin 'the greatest gift he could hope for' by blocking a £50billion package of wartime funding for Ukraine, President Joe Biden said.

Biden had pleaded with Republicans for a fresh infusion of military aid for Ukraine, warning that a victory for Russia over Ukraine would leave Moscow in a position to attack NATO allies and could draw US troops into a war.

But hours later, Senate Republicans defiantly voted to block the £50.3billion ($61bn) of funding for Ukraine from advancing, in a devastating blow to Volodymyr Zelensky.

That was part of a wider £87billion package ($110bn) of wartime funding for Israel as well as other national security priorities.

Biden lashed out at Republicans for the move, saying they are 'willing to literally kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield' and give Putin 'the greatest gift he could hope for'.

'They're willing to literally kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield and damage our national security in the process,' a furious Biden said earlier. He had warned that without the desperately needed aid funding, Ukraine's military could be overrun.

'If Putin takes Ukraine, he won't stop there,' Biden said earlier. Putin will attack a NATO ally, he predicted, and then 'we'll have something that we don't seen and that we don't have today: American troops fighting Russian troops,' Biden added.

And within hours of the vote, a smug Kremlin said Russia hopes the US Congress will block future aid to Ukraine. Moscow also accused Biden of playing the Russian threat card in order to secure money.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Biden wanted to 'continue burning taxpayers' money in the furnace of war'.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said relations with the United Arab Emirates were at an all-time high during his first visit to the Middle East since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago.

Putin praised cooperation between the two countries as he met President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi Wednesday, describing the UAE as “Russia’s main trading partner in the Arab world.”

He is later scheduled to visit Riyadh to meet Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), as part of a whistlestop tour in which Moscow hopes to flaunt and continue to foster its close ties with Gulf states as wars rage in the Middle East and Europe.

The visit marked a rare foreign trip for Putin since the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for his arrest for alleged war crimes committed in Ukraine. The UAE and Saudi Arabia have not ratified the ICC’s Rome Statute and so are not obliged to arrest the Russian president.

The ICC’s arrest warrant has placed significant restrictions on Putin’s ability to travel internationally. He did not attend in person the BRICS summit in Johannesburg in August, since South Africa is a signatory to the Rome Statute.

Putin enjoys good relations with both Gulf states, which have remained neutral over the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, despite Western pressure for them to join sanctions against Russia.

A cavalry escort accompanied Putin to the main entrance of the Qasr al-Watan Palace where he was received by his UAE counterpart, Russian state media TASS reported. The palace played the anthems of both countries before the presidents walked along a guard of honor.

Stressing the historical ties between Russia and the UAE, Putin said the Soviet Union was one of the first countries to recognize the UAE as a sovereign state in 1971.

The two leaders would use the visit to discuss issues ranging from oil and trade to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the Israel-Hamas war, Putin said ahead of the talks.

After the Abu Dhabi delegation, Putin will travel to Riyadh, Moscow’s main partner in OPEC+, a group of the world’s major oil producers to whose ranks Russia was admitted in 2016.

The two Gulf states have also helped Russia to facilitate recent prisoner swaps.

Saudi Arabia’s MBS played a key role in brokering a deal last September that helped release nearly 300 people, including 10 foreigners and commanders who led the Ukrainian defense of Mariupol.

Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE were also involved in the agreement which saw US basketball star Brittney Griner swapped for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout at Abu Dhabi airport almost exactly a year ago, the two countries said at the time.

CNN reported Tuesday – the day before Putin’s trip to the Middle East – that Washington had presented to Moscow another prisoner swap proposal as it tries to secure the release of two US citizens, ex-Marine Paul Whelan and the Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.

Responding to the report on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian state news agency RIA Novosti: “We do not discuss this topic publicly.”

Despite the Biden administration’s continuous efforts to bring home Whelan and Gershkovich, both of whom have been officially recognized as wrongfully detained by the State Department, there has been no success.

Monday marked the 250th day of Gershkovich’s imprisonment, while Whelan is entering his fifth year in Russian detention this month.

An Arizona sheriff who moonlights as a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate has claimed that undocumented migrants are being given $5,000 gift cards after illegally crossing the southern border.

Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb made the claim this week in a video shared to his Senate campaign account on X, formerly Twitter. Lamb said that "our government" was handing the migrants gift cards, cell phones and airline tickets to any domestic destination after entering the country.

"When these folks come across and they're processed, they're being given a cell phone, a plane ticket to anywhere they want to go in this country—so, probably to a community near you—and a $5,000 Visa card," Lamb says in the video.

"So, while this Christmas season you're struggling to keep your lights on, while you're struggling to pay your rent, put Christmas presents under the tree for your kids, we have our government giving people who came into this country illegally $5,000 gift cards," he added. "That's the truth, folks."

Mark Lamb, sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, is pictured during a House hearing on border security in Washington, D.C., on February 28, 2023. Lamb this week claimed that undocumented migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border were being handed $5,000 gift cards by "our government." Drew Angerer

There does not appear to be any U.S. government program that gives undocumented migrants $5,000 gift cards. A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Newsweek via phone on Thursday that no gift cards came from the agency.

Newsweek reached out for comment to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement via email on Thursday.

According to right-wing newspaper The Epoch Times, Lamb heard about the supposed gift card exchange from "close sources" at the border, telling the outlet that he was "absolutely in shock when these agents came forward" with the news.

"To give out $5,000 Visa gift cards to people who break our laws and come into our country illegally when the average American is struggling to pay their bills is just tough to swallow," Lamb said, before hinting that the purported gift cards may be distributed by charities rather than the government.

"The government can make the claim that they aren't directly paying for it, because each dollar first goes from the government to a non-government institution like a charity before it is used to pay for the illegals," he said.

Dozens of military bases housing US forces have been attacked, increasing fears of a broadening regional conflict.

Approximately seven mortar rounds landed in the US Embassy compound in Baghdad during an attack early on Friday, a US military official told Reuters, in what appeared to be the largest attack of its kind in recent memory.

US forces in Iraq and Syria were also targeted with rockets and drones at least five more times on Friday; three times at separate bases in Syria, and twice at the Ain al-Asad airbase west of Baghdad, a US defense official said.

The attacks were the most recorded against US forces in the region in a single day since mid-October, when Iran-aligned militias started targeting US assets in Iraq and Syria over Washington's backing of Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza.

The embassy attack marked the first time it had been fired on in more than a year, apparently widening the range of targets. Dozens of military bases housing US forces have been attacked, increasing fears of a broadening regional conflict.

No group claimed responsibility, but previous attacks against US forces have been carried out by Iran-aligned militias operating .under the banner of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq

The US military official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, left open the possibility that more projectiles were fired at the embassy compound but did not land within it.

The US officials said Friday's attacks caused no injuries, while the embassy attack caused very minor damage.

Explosions were heard near the embassy, in the center of Baghdad, at about 4 a.m. (0100 GMT) on Friday. Sirens calling on people to take cover were activated.

State media said the attack damaged the headquarters of an Iraqi security agency.

Sheik Ali Damoush, a senior official in the Lebanese group Hezbollah, said in a Friday sermon that attacks by Iran-aligned groups across the Middle East aim to apply pressure for a halt to Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip. He did not refer specifically to Friday's attack.

US forces in Iraq and Syria have been attacked at least 84 times since Oct. 17, the defense official said.

The US has responded with a series of strikes that have killed at least 15 terrorists in Iraq and up to seven in Syria.

The attacks pose a challenge for Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who has pledged to protect foreign missions and capitalize on fragile stability to focus on the economy and court foreign investment, including from the United States.

Sudani directed security agencies to pursue the perpetrators, describing them as "unruly, lawless groups that do not in any way represent the will of the Iraqi people," a statement from his office said.

He also said that undermining Iraq's stability, and reputation and targeting places Iraq has committed to protect were acts of terrorism.

The head of militia Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, one of the main factions that has been targeting US forces in the region, said in a social media post that he rejected "stopping or easing operations" while "Zionist crimes continue in Gaza."

A US embassy spokesperson called on the Iraqi government to do all in its power to protect diplomatic and coalition personnel and bases.

"We reiterate that we reserve the right to self-defense and to protect our personnel anywhere in the world," he said.

Aside from its diplomatic staff in Iraq, the United States has about 2,500 troops in the country on a mission it says aims to advise and assist local forces trying to prevent a resurgence of Islamic State, which in 2014 seized large swathes of both countries before being defeated.

Iran-aligned Houthis have been firing at Israel and ships in the Red Sea in a campaign they say aims to support the Palestinians. US warships have shot down several of their projectiles.

Karen Kingston is a biotech analyst and former Pfizer employee who says Texas AG Ken Paxton’s recent lawsuit is charging Pfizer for many “lies” about their CV19 vax being safe and effective. Kingston contends this is going to begin a great awakening to the murders and disease caused by these injections. Many doctors now say the CV19 vax did not help a single person. Let that sink in. Kingston explains, “What Paxton and his team are going to do is expose thousands and thousands of lies that you were told by Pfizer and, specifically, CEO Albert Bourla. Albert Bourla went on a campaign of deception and a lying spree that resulted in a killing spree, and Bourla knew it. Ken Paxton and his legal team are charging Pfizer under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act of Texas. There are five counts they are being charged with across 18 violations. The 95% efficacy was not what you thought it was. . . . There was no evidence that it would stop transmission and infecting others. There was no evidence it worked against the variants. Then . . . there was the charge of scheming to suppress the truth about the failing vaccine. . . . This is huge.”

How big is this? Kingston says, “It could be $350 billion in fines for Pfizer, and they cannot get out of this by going bankrupt.”

Kingston goes on to say, “I think the actual truth is you were not injected with a vaccine. The immune response you got, and they called it a robust response, is really your body’s response to being poisoned to foreign material that is in your body. It’s genetic material as well as inorganic material. This is not a vaccine, and people were involved in criminal human experimentation as were their children. They were experimented on with a biotechnology pathogen. This is per our National Institutes of Health and our U.S. military.”

Kingston started warning about the death and dangers of this CV19 vax more than two years ago on USAWatchdog.com. She called the CV19 vax “poison,” and . She sthe millions of deaths and injuries worldwide prove her right. Sadly, Kingston will continue to be rightays the peak in disabilities won’t happen until 2025, and peak deaths from the CV19 injections come after that. Kingston says, “I also predicted that people would be dying from aggressive cancers and large cancer tumors out of nowhere. I also said this is criminal, you can sue Pfizer and you can have criminal charges against Pfizer. I think we are going to get a great awakening to do that, and people do not have to remain a victim. This is murder, and it is no different than me having a cupcake company and I put cyanide in the cupcakes. . . .and I did not expose to you my natural ingredients. That’s murder.”

Join Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com as he goes One-on-One with renowned biotech analyst Karen Kingston as she gives another update on the bioweapon mRNA/nanoparticle injections and why the recent Texas AG Pfizer lawsuit will cause a CV19 vax great awakening to mass murder for 12.5.23.

Vegas shooting leaves THREE people dead and one in critical condition after 'man in his 60s' went on 40 minute rampage across University of Nevada Las Vegas before being shot dead by cops

A gunman in his 60s opened fire on the University of Nevada's Las Vegas campus on Wednesday, murdering three and leaving one critically injured

Police said they were called at 11:45am, and 'officers immediately responded and engaged the suspect', who was pronounced dead shortly after

The gunman and three victims have not been named, and police would not discuss any possible motive: his connection to the university is unclear

Three people are dead and one critically injured after a gunman reportedly in his 60s opened fire at the University of Nevada's campus, Las Vegas police confirmed on Wednesday evening.

Three sources told NBC News that the gunman - who is also dead - was a man in his 60s. His connection, if any, to the university is unclear.

A fourth victim was shot but is in a stable condition, said Sheriff Kevin McMahill, speaking at a press conference on Wednesday night.

He said four additional people are in hospital after suffering panic attacks, and two officers were treated for minor injuries.

McMahill praised the 'heroic' officer who stopped the gunman, but said they have 'no idea on a motive'. He said they had not moved the body yet, and were unable to specify what weapon was used.

Joe Biden said the shooting - coming the day after six were shot dead in Austin and San Antonio - was 'not normal, and we can never let it become normal.'

Biden said he was saddened that the university 'became the latest college campus to be terrorized by a horrific act of gun violence.'

He thanked the first responders, and said it showed that more must be done to end the epidemic of gun violence.

'This year alone, our nation has experienced more than 600 mass shootings, and approximately 40,000 deaths due to gun violence. This is not normal, and we can never let it become normal,' he said, in a statement issued by the White House.

'For all the action we have taken since I’ve been President, the epidemic of gun violence we face demands that we do even more.

'But we cannot do more without Congress. Republican lawmakers must join with Democrats in Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, pass a national red flag law, enact universal background checks, require the safe storage of guns, and advance other commonsense measures that will help stem the tide of gun violence.

'And together, we must do more to prevent more families, and more communities like Austin, San Antonio, and Las Vegas, from being ripped apart by gun violence.'

Biden was already set to visit Las Vegas this Friday to deliver remarks on infrastructure, and the shooting has not changed his plans.

He is expected in Vegas on Friday, and will travel to Los Angeles for the weekend.

Adam Garcia, the director of university police services, said the first 911 call came in at 11:45am.

'Officers immediately responded and engaged the suspect,' said Garcia. He said the suspect was shot and killed by the officers.

'The entire Nevada system of higher education and campuses are closed, out of an abundance of caution. There is no threat to other campuses, but they are closed out of an abundance of caution.'

A huge police presence including tactical teams were seen scrambling to the college after an alert was issued to students, warning them to 'RUN-HIDE-FIGHT.'

In response to the campus shootings, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop of all flights coming into Harry Reid International Airport. The university is roughly two miles north of the airport.

Less than an hour after the alert was released, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced the suspect was deceased. The force said the investigation is ongoing.

It remains unclear how many of the three 'victims' were killed or injured, or what the extent of their injuries are.

Early reports indicate additional shots may have been fired in the college's student union, and officials are continuing to evacuate buildings one at a time.

Footage shared to social media appears to show tactical crews moving through the campus, with officers seen scoping out the scene from a building's roof.

Officials said several victims have been rushed to a local hospital, with one reportedly placed on alert for a 'mass casualty event.'

The campus is in the heart of Las Vegas, across from the Harry Reid International Airport and near to the city's strip.

It is only a few miles from the site of the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history: a gunman opened fire on the crowd at the Route 91 Music Festival in October 2017, killing 58 people and wounding hundreds more. The high-stakes gambler who carried out the shooting was angry over how the casinos were treating him despite his high-roller status, the FBI concluded.

Student John Harris heard what he later realized was a gunshot as he was getting out of his car in the parking garage of an on-campus apartment complex. In the elevator, Harris said he got an emergency text alert text from the university.

'I wasn't sure what to believe,' said Harris, 21, who ended up sheltering at a friend's dorm.

He told AP: 'But as I came down to the street, and I saw there were a bunch of cops in the parking lot at the student union, I knew what I heard was a gunshot and this wasn't a drill.'

A witness to Wednesday's attack told Fox News they heard several shots ring out through the campus, before they were evacuated by police.

'(I heard) boom, boom, boom, more shots,' she said. 'So I ran into the basement and I heard shots outside, heard police, and then the police just evacuated me out.

'I had my hands over my head and yeah, I was hearing a lot of shots. I did not know how many shooters there were. I did not really know anything.'

An English professor at UNLV, Vincent Perez, told MSNBC that he heard seven or eight loud gunshots 'one after another', when he looked out across the campus from the balcony of a building.

'We realized this is a real shooting, and there's an active shooter on campus,' he said.

'It just sounded like a high-powered weapon — just echoing, echoing in a way that ... makes you realize this is somebody out to kill people.'

Another witness said: 'We could hear the gunshots from where we were. It was about 200 kids all in one space and a lot of people were panicking.'

They said the group were in the middle of a presentation in a board room of the student union, which flew into a panic as everyone inside received a text alert at the same time.

'They shut all the curtains. Everyone moved to one side of the room. After that, it was a lot of waiting for 20 minutes and we got told to move to a corner.

'And we heard a lot of yelling. That is where stuff started to get more hectic... the yelling was officers and they came in and we all put our hands up and they escorted us all the way out here... I did see one glass shattered, it looks like by two gunshots.'

Another witness in the student union said they could hear 'screaming from next door' as they lay in hiding.

'We were located at the student union, which is where it all went down. But it was just super scary hearing that. We all as a class... we were just so scared,' they said.

'I feel like we should have shut the lights off or something. But we definitely went in the corner, evacuated, and, you know, we wanted more because we got these alerts and we were kind of scared.'

The terrified students praised the university's reaction to the shooting, saying they had rolling updates 'that was great.'

UNLV first reported the incident in a post on X at about 11:53am, saying: 'University Police responding to report of shots fire in BEH evacuate to a safe area, RUN-HIDE-FIGHT.'

In a second post at 11:59am, the school confirmed that university police were 'responding to a confirmed active shooter situation in BEH. This is not a test.'

At 12:04pm, Las Vegas police confirmed that officers were responding to preliminary reports of an active shooter on UNLV's campus.

At 12:32 pm, Las Vegas police updated that one suspect had been located and was deceased.

'There appears to be multiple victims at this time,' LVMPD said, advising people to avoid the area.

Professor Kevaney Martin took cover under a desk in her classroom, where another faculty member and three students took shelter with her.

'It was terrifying, I can't even begin to explain,' Matin said. 'I was trying to hold it together for my students, and trying not to cry, but the emotions are something I never want to experience again.'

Martin said she was texting friends and loved ones, hoping to receive word a suspect had been detained. When another professor came to the room and told everyone to evacuate, they joined dozens of others rushing out of the building. Martin had her students piled into her car and drove them off campus.

'Once we got away from UNLV, we parked and sat in silence,' she told AP. 'Nobody said a word. We were in utter shock.'

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday she was aware of the shooting.

'Obviously, we're going to continue to monitor what's currently occurring. I don't want to get ahead of what local enforcements are probably dealing with at this time,' she said.

It comes as the US has already broken the record for the most mass shootings in a single year, following murders at the weekend.

Two attacks on Sunday within two hours of each other in Texas and Washington state were the year's 37th and 38th mass shootings.

Davos man John Kerry is continuing to “pledge” for stricter regulations on behalf of the people after the United Nations climate change summit (COP28). He already committed $3 billion to eliminating coal and believes emissions could be slashed by 68% come 2050. Now, John Kerry is out to eliminate the energy we use to cool our homes.

The world experienced heat waves throughout the summer months. The globalists like Kerry do not believe that we, the Great Unwashed, should be using energy to cool ourselves. “We want to lay out a pathway to reduce cooling-related emissions across all sectors but increase access to sustainable cooling,” Kerry told COP28. There are now a swarm of articles online about “cooling appliances” as if their existence is ruining our planet. Fox reported that 7% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from refrigerants and energy used for cooling.

First, they came after our technology for heating our homes and food. They want to phase out gas stoves and reduce our heating consumption. Coal has been nearly prohibited, killing an entire sector. We have no alternative to fossil fuel but continue to “pledge” countless net zero measures as if the people had the power to alter the weather.

Over 30 million Americans struggled to pay their utilities bills in 2022, with 5 million citizens experiencing a disruption in services as they could not pay their bills.

UAE Sultan Al Jaber declared there is absolutely “no science” behind these disastrous demands to eliminate fossil fuels. Only the Build Back Better countries are adhering to these plans, as nations like China, in particular, have stated they would not participate. They are going to tax us for heating and cooling our homes and food. Soon we will realize that we are the carbon they wish to eliminate.

Subtle Like a Brick Through a Window – CIA Outlet Approves Donald Trump Assassination

I have stayed away from this subject for eight years; however, everyone in/around U.S. politics knows the Washington Post, owned by Big Tech Amazon, is effectively the PR firm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). No one inside the DC beltway does not understand this basic truth.

Therefore, when the husband of State Dept official Victoria Nuland, a man named Robert Kagan, writes an op-ed in the CIA newsletter, effectively calling for President Trump to receive the Julius Caesar treatment, the non-subtle message is for the CIA to repeat their Kennedy performance and kill President Trump.

As alarming as this acceptance might sound, there are no intellectually honest people who would deny it.

WaPo/CIA – Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. In 13 weeks, Donald Trump will have locked up the Republican nomination. In the RealClearPolitics poll average (for the period from Nov. 9 to 20), Trump leads his nearest competitor by 47 points and leads the rest of the field combined by 27 points. The idea that he is unelectable in the general election is nonsense — he is tied or ahead of President Biden in all the latest polls — stripping other Republican challengers of their own stated reasons for existence.

[…] Are we going to do anything about it? To shift metaphors, if we thought there was a 50 percent chance of an asteroid crashing into North America a year from now, would we be content to hope that it wouldn’t? Or would we be taking every conceivable measure to try to stop it, including many things that might not work but that, given the magnitude of the crisis, must be tried anyway?

Will those who balked at resisting Trump when the risk was merely political oblivion suddenly discover their courage when the cost might be the ruin of oneself and one’s family? (more)

Pro-Israel teacher hides in Queens high school as ‘radicalized’ students riot: ‘They want her fired’

Hundreds of “radicalized” kids rampaged through the halls of a Queens high school this week for nearly two hours after they discovered a teacher had attended a pro-Israel rally — forcing the terrified educator to hide in a locked office as the teen mob tried to push its way into her classroom, The Post has learned.

The mayhem at Hillcrest High School in Jamaica unfolded shortly after 11 a.m. Monday in what students called a pre-planned protest over the teacher’s Facebook profile photo showing her at a pro-Israel rally on Queens Oct. 9 holding a poster saying, “I stand with Israel.”

“The teacher was seen holding a sign of Israel, like supporting it,” a senior told The Post this week.

“A bunch of kids decided to make a group chat, expose her, talk about it, and then talk about starting a riot.”

Hundreds of kids flooded into hallways and ran amok, chanting, jumping, shouting, and waving Palestinian flags or banners.

Many tried to barge into the teacher’s classroom despite school staffers blocking their entry.

“Everyone was screaming ‘(The teacher) needs to go!’” a ninth-grader said.

School administrators and the NYPD, which responded to the school at about 11:20 am, got wind of their plans just in time to rush the teacher into an office and lock the door, another educator said.

Students recorded the commotion, posting multiple videos, some set to pulsing Arabian music, on TikTok.

“When a protest brakes (sic) out because a teacher stands with Israel,” a caption on one says.

Another reads, “Hillcrest high school had a riot because a Health teacher was supporting Israel.”

Most comments posted on the videos applauded the kids and jeered the teacher, one calling her a “cracker ass bitch.”

Clips showed a water fountain ripped out in the hallway and shattered tiles in the second-floor boys’ bathroom, which students admitted they vandalized.

The NYPD not only sent a couple dozen cops to restore order but tapped its counterterrorism bureau to investigate a possible threat against the school, according to City Councilman James Gennaro (D-Queens), citing officials.

“Whether it was one student or multiple students who did or said something, whatever the trigger was, something happened. And I know from my many years on the City Council that the counterterrorism task force is not engaged unless they believe it is potentially a serious situation,” Gennaro said.

The teacher gave a statement to The Post, which is withholding her name for her own safety.

“I have been a teacher for 23 years in the New York City public school system — for the last seven at Hillcrest High School. I have worked hard to be supportive of our entire student body and an advocate for our community, and was shaken to my core by the calls to violence against me that occurred online and outside my classroom last week.”

“No one should ever feel unsafe at school — students and teachers alike,” she added.

The teacher continued: “It’s my hope in the days ahead we can find a way to have meaningful discussions about challenging topics with respect for each other’s diverse perspectives and shared humanity,” the teacher said in her statement. “Unless we can learn to see each other as people we will never be able to create a safe learning community.”

The school’s deans, and a sergeant stationed at the school, finally corralled the students back into classrooms, according to sources and the NYPD.

Students said kids followed and spit on her, but another teacher said that did not happen.

“They found where she lives — her address, her phone number, her family and everything — her personal information,” a senior said.

“I heard that some people already called her on her private phone and said some bad things.” Sources could not confirm that.

The chaos and lockdown, which sources said lasted roughly two hours, was one of the most frightening incidents of antisemitism in New York schools and colleges since the Hamas massacre in Israel Oct. 7 sparked the Jewish state’s war with Gaza.

It follows a massive, pro-Palestinian citywide walkout on Nov. 9 by some 700 NYC high school students calling for a ceasefire.

“When I saw the videos that came out, Hillcrest looks very bad on social media,” a mom said at the school’s PTA meeting a day after the wild tumult, raising safety fears.

About 25 NYPD cops raced to the school to quell the disturbance, principal Scott Milczewski told parents. Administrators placed the school in a “soft lockdown,” activating a team of staffers and safety agents trained to handle emergencies.

“There are 2,500 students,” Milczewski said. “Adults will always be outnumbered. I think that’s something we have to understand. And that’s why we’re asking you to speak to your children. We need your support with this.”

The NYPD was called to the school again the next day, and said cops arrested an 18-year-old student for making threats over a group chat. The student was charged with aggravated harassment.

Gennaro, whose district includes the school, said the Israel-Gaza war gave kids “a convenient excuse” to act out.

“It went from a teacher just changing a photograph on her social profile to this contagion of hate being released in the halls of Hillcrest High School,” Gennaro said.

“It’s a sad commentary on the rancid hate that exists within the hearts of students — for Jews.”

Councilman Robert Holden (D-Queens) called it shocking that high school kids “would gang up on a teacher and harass her.”

“I don’t know why these students are so misinformed, so intolerant and so radicalized. They don’t even know the history of the Middle East. They haven’t been taught that,” he said.

“They just wanted to make drama about it,” a sophomore said of the teacher’s pro-Israel stance.

Students said rumors spread that the teacher “was abusing Muslims” and had taught “it was okay that children were being killed in Palestine.” Another teacher called the accusations “100% false.”

At least three students who organized the riot face superintendent’s suspensions, the most severe punishment, said a source familiar with the incident.

Milczewski said the law forbids him to discuss any consequences for students, but that the DOE “has a discipline code and I promise you that has been followed.”

Mayor Eric Adams denounced the “vile” incident while sharing The Post’s story on X Saturday night.

“The vile show of antisemitism at Hillcrest High School was motivated by ignorance-fueled hatred, plain and simple, and it will not be tolerated in any of our schools, let alone anywhere else in our city.

Chancellor David Banks — a Hillcrest graduate himself– vaguely touched on the incident Tuesday during a town hall meeting with Manhattan parents.

“We have our whole team working very closely with the students and the teachers at the school. But what’s happening in the Middle East has gotten a lot of emotions from a lot of people. We’re still figuring out what’s going on.”

“We are aware of the completely unacceptable incident that occurred at Hillcrest High School last week, and our safety team is actively collaborating with the superintendent and principal to fully investigate the matter and protect the safety of both students and staff,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “No form of hate, whether it be antisemitism Islamophobia, or other form of bigotry will be tolerated in our schools.”

Pro-Palestinian protesters halted traffic in NYC on Sunday afternoon by descending at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge and demanding a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

A number of arrests were made as hundreds of protesters sat down on the heavily trafficked East River overpass and held their fists in the air while shouting “Let Gaza Live” and wearing shirts that read “Cease Fire Now.”

They called for President Joe Biden to end his support of Israel’s military campaign.

“Business as usual cannot continue, as thousands of Palestinians are trapped under the rubble,” Jay Saper, of the protest-organizing Jewish Voice for Peace, told The Post.

“We’ve gathered to raise our voices for a permanent and lasting cease-fire. The majority of Americans are with us, polling shows that.

“We’re elevating the voices of New Yorkers who are calling for a cease-fire.”

The demonstrators demanded that the US halt its military support for Israel, and pressure the leaders of the Jewish state to end its assault on Gaza.

“We don’t believe there is a military solution,” Saper said. “We believe the causes of violence are oppression. We first need to address 75 years of Israeli apartheid. Sixteen years of suffering and blockade against the people of Gaza.”

Three demonstrators — one woman and two men — were arrested during the protest, according to law enforcement sources.

One protester could be seen spray painting “Gaza” on a support beam of the bridge.

Despite the organizers’ claim of widespread support, everyday New Yorkers were furious that the traffic blockade was throwing a wrench in their travel plans.

“Oh hell no — I have to get across the bridge!” Pam Allen, a fashion model on her way to a show in Brooklyn, told The Post. “I’m all for peace, but this right here, this is a problem.”

She continued: “I get it, I understand the message — but this solves nothing!”

One person who was driving a commercial van became aggravated that the protesters ruined his commute.

“I’m just trying to get home after working all night!” he told The Post. “This makes me mad. How do I get home?”

In Hicksville, Long Island hundreds of protesters gathered outside a Dunkin’ Donuts and marched past the offices of defense contractor Northrop Grumman to protest military action in Gaza.

Noura Farouk from the organization “Mothers For Justice” addressed the gathering with a megaphone while standing on the back of a pickup truck.

Farouk emphasized that the overwhelming number of fatalities in Gaza were women and children.

“Children have been orphaned in the blink of an eye. There’s no politics that justifies this.” Farouk said.

“All mothers and parents should be aware that 50 percent of Gaza is children.”

As policeman on horseback helped direct traffic, demonstrators chanted “Northrop Grumman to you can’t hide — we charge you with Genocide.”

According to protester Rosy Islam, the choice to target the defense giant’s Long Island headquarters was “symbolic.”

“I think that dialogue is what’s needed right now. We don’t want our tax dollars to be going outside the U.S.” Islam told The Post outside the Grumman headquarters.

“We should help our own people here in our neighborhood, in our own community.”

Islam said she wanted to “let Long Islanders know that we’re all here to stand for humanity.”

Yitzak Deutsch, a member of New York’s Orthodox Jewish community, protested in solidarity with Palestinians.

“We are here because we are Jews–because we are true to our religion. We are here to say that what the occupation stands for is totally wrong,” Deutsch told The Post as marchers dispersed.

“It’s totally criminal. They use my religion in order to justify the crimes which is totally wrong. Judaism is a religion—Zionism is a political movement. And, of course this genocide and all the atrocities is nothing my name and my religion.”

NY Public Library facing $75K cleanup after ‘shameful act of vandalism’ by pro-Palestinian protesters

The New York Public Library is facing up to $75,000 in cleanup costs following recent pro-Palestinian protests in which demonstrators marred the famous façade of its landmark Manhattan building with blood-red handprints.

The library’s flagship Stephen A. Schwarzman building in Midtown was defaced so badly during the demonstrations that some of its carved marble reliefs may need to be replaced, officials said.

“On Thanksgiving, individuals involved in a protest engaged in a shameful act of vandalism to the Library’s flagship Stephen A. Schwarzman building, a space devoted to the open exchange of ideas and intellectual debate,” library spokeswoman Jennifer Fermino told the Washington Post.

“This comes at a time when the city’s libraries are facing steep budget cuts that have left us unable to maintain our current levels of service, and this vandalism will be costly to repair.”

The library has been the target of vandals several times in recent weeks during three separate pro-Palestinian protests, but the damage incurred on Thursday was “the most costly and extensive,” Fermino told The Post.

“It is too early to say the costs of fixing the damages but the repair costs for all could be between 60k and 75k.”

Much of the damage took place on Thursday after hundreds of protesters disrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, donning white jumpsuits and drenching themselves in fake blood, some gluing their hands to the street in the middle of Sixth Avenue.

After the parade, some of the protesters made their way to the library’s Fifth Avenue entrance where they vandalized the marble bases of the building’s iconic columns, and scrawled the words “free Palestine” in dark green spray paint on the flagship building.

Some of the graffiti covered delicately carved portions of the structure, which will be difficult to clean without causing further damage, requiring multiple applications of solvent over several days, Garrett Bergen, director of facilities for the library, told Gothamist.

“We could have to replace certain elements if a rosette is too damaged for the paint to be removed. So it’s a little unclear,” Bergen said.

Up-close images of the damage show thick red paint pooling at the base of the column support and dripping down the steps of the library — which is facing budget cuts from the Adams administration.

The building that bore the brunt of the vandalism is named for Stephen A. Schwarzman, a wealthy Jewish businessman and philanthropist who donated $100 million toward the library’s expansion in 2008.

In all, at least 34 protesters were arrested on Thursday, charged with offenses ranging from disorderly conduct and resisting arrest to harassment, cops said.

It was not immediately known how many of the arrests took place outside the library, which was closed for the holiday.

Rep. Gallagher seeing red over satanic Christmas tree in Wisconsin: ‘Absolutely crazy’

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) expressed outrage over a Satanic Temple Christmas tree display at an annual festival in his hometown of Green Bay.

“It’s impossible to overstate how offensive this is to Christians. It would be, in quite a literal sense, the same thing as waving a Hamas flag inside of a synagogue,” Gallagher, 39, told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

The National Railroad Museum, which hosts an annual Christmas tree festival in Ashwaubenon, a suburb of Green Bay, permitted the display as one of the 66 trees at the event.

The Satanic Temple’s tree is covered in blood-red lights that seemingly resemble demon eyes with a snake-like figure at the bottom.

One ornament says “Hail Santa,” in an apparent cheeky nod to “Hail Satan.”

While Christians celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus Christ, the Satanic Temple largely satirizes religion.

“Worshippers” in the temple are non-theistic and the group advocates for separation of church and state, civil rights and egalitarianism.

Museum CEO Jacqueline Frank contended that the group followed its guidelines by not advocating for violence and stressed that his museum has fostered diversity.

“There was no hesitation. We’re not a religious organization. We focus on trains,” Frank said, per the Green Bay Press Gazette.

“And honestly, the Christmas tree is used by so many different secular and religious organizations. All we’re doing is putting up decoration in that room.”

Gallagher, a father of two who chairs the House China Committee, ripped the museum’s response as “insufficient.”

He explained how the museum typically has a fun screening of the “Polar Express” flick flanked by trains in a “cool” experience for children.

“I wouldn’t take my kids to it now. I don’t want them to be surrounded by Satanic trees,” he said.

“Conservatives are often accused of launching a culture war or focusing or fixating on cultural issues, but here is a perfect example of how that’s not what’s happening.”

Gallagher also opined on the lab in Reedly, Calif. that was found to have had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

“Based on our investigation, [the CCP] did not know it existed until the local officials discovered it,” Gallagher said. “We have to do a better job of defending our homeland from a potential attack involving dangerous pathogens.”

The Wisconsin rep went on to sound the alarms about the risk of similar labs operating across the country.

“The honest answer is, we don’t know,” Gallagher replied when asked about how many other labs like that were operating in the US.

“What worries me in doing this investigation … is that if the FBI director or the president turned to the FBI director and said, ‘hey, we need to figure out how many of these we have in the United States,’ they wouldn’t even know where to begin,” he said.

Man, woman and 5-year-old son found stabbed to death in NYC apartment building: sources

Social Links for Isabel Keane, Social Links for Kevin Sheehan and Social Links for Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

A Bronx couple and their 5-year-old son were found stabbed to death inside their apartment building early Sunday, law enforcement sources and neighbors said.

Police responding to a 911 call at 674 East 136th Street in Mott Haven first discovered 38-year-old Jonathan Rivera, with stab wounds to the chest in the hallway of the first floor of the apartment building, at around 6:40 a.m., cops and the sources said.

As they investigated, the officers looked into the window of the nearby apartment unit — and broke inside after spotting the child, identified by police as Kayden Rivera, according to the sources.

The 33-year-old woman, Hanoi Peralta, was also discovered inside the apartment with fatal stab wounds in what the sources said was being investigated as a triple homicide.

No suspects were publicly identified, and police said the investigation was ongoing.

Chilling security video from Neighborhood Grocery, a bodega just steps away from the front door of the building, shows Peralta casually shopping on Saturday afternoon — just hours before she was slain.

“I feel so terrible,” Ali said. “So sad. She was here yesterday at 3 or 4. She was buying some things like normal. Very nice woman. Her husband, her son, all very nice people. I see them every day for the last year.

“Every morning she takes her son to school. Very beautiful boy, such a nice boy,” he added. “Her husband comes in every day for coffee.”

Other neighbors said all three had recently moved into the unit and mostly kept to themselves.

Akakpo Kodjogan, 62, who has been in the building since 2007, said the apartment they lived in had previously belonged to the building’s superintendent.

“New people in there and now I’m not sure who is living there. This building used to be very good. Very safe. No problems,” Kodjogan said. “Now the people who are coming in, no one knows who they are.”

Another neighbor, a 41-year-old man who asked to not use his name, confirmed it was just the three people living in the super’s old apartment.

“They’re quiet people… I don’t really know them that well,” he said, noting that he would say “hi” to them if he passed them in the hallway.

“I was home all night and I didn’t hear anything. I didn’t hear no yelling, no screaming. I don’t know what happened but they didn’t make any noise,” he added.

Medey Mercado, 55, who has lived on the fifth floor of the building for 10 years, described seeing the man’s butchered body inside the building earlier that day.

“This morning there was a man lying in the lobby. He was bloody and cut up!” she said.

“I can’t believe it,” Ali, the storeowner, told The Post. “I am scared. When three people in the building get killed, yes, yes, I am scared. I don’t feel safe.”

China plans to mass produce humanoid robots in two years - here's how experts think the tech will change the world by 2035

China has published plans to mass-produce humanoid robots by 2025, as Western companies including Elon Musk's Tesla race to produce their own humanoids.

DailyMail.com spoke to leading experts on how humanoid robots could change the world - with one expert saying that the tech will grow 'exponentially' this decade.

Goldman Sachs has predicted that the market for humanoid robots could be worth $150 billion a year worldwide within 15 years - and that humanoid robots will be viable in factories between 2025-2028 and in other jobs by 2030-2035.

The technology will have a positive impact in many fields, believes Marga Hoek, author of Tech For Good, but people need to prepare for it.

Hoek said that predictions suggest that up to a quarter of all jobs could be impacted by robotics and AI technology.

She said: 'My biggest worry is that all humankind spends a lot of time on fearing, instead of accepting and anticipating.'

Hoek said that research needs to be done now on which job roles will still 'add value' in a world of humanoid robots: she said, 'If we don't train people, if we don't anticipate, if we don't radically change around the school programs, for instance, we'll be too late.'

Elon Musk's Tesla is building a rival robot called Optimus which aims to take on any task a human can do - and which Musk has said could be 'more significant' than the company's cars.

Rather than human carers, humanoid robots will look after old people and young people with disorders such as autism, Hoek predicted.

She said: 'We now have robots also reacting to emotions, and reading behavior. We will have robots coping with mental disorders, behavioral disorders, with children and also with adults.

'If we think about the old people, we'll have a lot of 65-plus people. Robots can come into play, to support and to help, which also enables people to live longer.'

Amazon this year tested a humanoid robot working in one of its centers - and experts believe that one day 'lights out' factories, with no humans working, may be common.

By 2035, humanoid robots will have a 'profound impact' on society and the world economy, said Lisa Farrell, Business Development Manager at The National Robotarium.

Farrell said: 'Mass producing reasonably-priced robots is achievable with economies of scale and advances in technologies, and we foresee all kinds of robots supporting workforces across manufacturing, healthcare, construction, transport, hospitality and more.

'Intelligent robots can increase productivity, improve quality control, and help deliver repetitive or dangerous tasks.

'Overall economic gains should arise - McKinsey estimates an uplift approaching $6 trillion globally by 2025 from AI and robotics. New high-value jobs maintaining, programming and collaborating with robots will also emerge.'

Robots in education is a rapidly growing market, forecast to reach $3.1 billion by 2025, Hoek said.

Robots can take on many different roles within classrooms, for instance working as teaching assistants in schools, says Professor Angelo Cangelosi, professor of AI and Cognition at The University of Manchester.

But Cangelosi says that the next five to ten years will see robots improve at tasks such as carrying small objects and holding meaningful conversation - but 'fully autonomous' humanoids will take longer to emerge.

Cangelosi said: 'Some repetitive tasks can be more easily done by robots, but we will always need robot technicians who will then monitor and service these robots.

'The gradual progress in robotics and AI (due to the difficulty of the systems and capabilities being developed) will allow society time to plan for these changes.

'I think we'll gradually see them used in some sectors to support existing workers.

'For example, humanoid robots could be employed in flexible manufacturing factories, working with people to assemble equipment parts. They could also be used for social care, or also as teaching helper tools in schools.'

Robot surgeons will be revolutionary both in remote areas (where they can bring expert surgery to people who might not have access) and on the battlefield.

Hoek said: 'If we use robots to do precision surgery, they can do that. I mean, so much better than human because the human eye and human fingers are limited in skills.

'So if we use them for precision surgery, they can do things that we couldn't do.'

Hoek said that on the battlefield, the first 30 seconds after an injury are crucial in terms of survival - and robots don't need to worry about being hurt.

Robots will enable 'precision farming' which will help to deal with food shortages, Hoek believes.

Hoek said: 'There's a lack of healthy food around the world and the world population is still growing.

'Robots can actually help to boost production and do precision farming and harvest better out of it can prevent food waste, because they can take stuff from A to B.'

The Globalist Suicide Cult's Suicide Mission Is Nearing Fulfillment, Bringing All Of Western Civ Down With Them, Nearly Obliterated But With Much More Carnage And Mayhem To Come

If we can agree on nothing else, you must grant that Western Civ needs to have its head examined. The war of Israel upon Gaza springs from the vast limbic netherworld where all the phantoms, myths, gods, and devils abide. What’s going on in the Bible lands now is a demonstration that the wrath of Yahweh is a match for the wrath of Allah. The West appears to abhor this battle, as it derives from the deepest and darkest sector of the West’s own psychology — a place the West fears to go. Having spurned the Judeo-Christian God lo these many decades, the West is horrified to see that dreadful figure step back onstage hurling lightning bolts and roaring.

Western Civ is like a Sarah Lawrence grad with a nose-ring, trained up to despise her own history and culture, trafficking with the incubi of barbarism — the romance of “edginess” — while playing with razor blades in anticipation of her own glorious suicidal psychodrama. There, I have explained The New York Times and The New Yorker Magazine to you, and thus exactly what is wrong with them trying to explain the world to you.

There is, of course, endless and seemingly irreconcilable misunderstanding between Western Civ and its adversaries, but the salient point of the current world mess is a failure to comprehend the meaning of Never Again. And among the many ironies of recent years is that the state-of-mind calling itself Progressive Globalism is obsessed with eradicating boundaries while the two crisis points of the present moment broke out precisely because boundaries were violated.

Whatever you think of Mr. Putin — and I refuse to join the stupid ritual chorus of his supposed “thuggery” — he couldn’t have made it clearer to the USA and its Euroland sisters that Russia would not accept Ukraine as a NATO member, right up against its border — meaning that NATO would be able to base missiles, bombers, and troops there. You may have lost count of how many times Russia has been invaded across the vast plain of Ukraine, but the Russians have not forgotten and their attitude about it is synonymous with the phrase Never Again. What part of that did the USA, Germany, France, and the rest not understand?

Yet they undertook this deranged project to arm poor Ukraine to the teeth — a people who have shown no aptitude for war, historically trampled over, with deeply schizoid allegiances to whomever dominates them from one century to the next — and sent it on a suicide mission that is now nearly complete. You understand that the sacrificial suicide of Ukraine for no good reason is just an enactment of Western Civ’s own apparent suicidal wish fulfillment. Like I said: this is a dark and deep psychodrama.

Accordingly, the West affects to be chagrined by Israel’s refusal to join the West’s new gnostic suicide cult. Here, too, is a failure to comprehend the phrase Never Again. We know where that succinct slogan comes from — the West’s previous suicide attempt, 1939 to 1945, in the course of which the annihilation of Europe’s Jews was a featured set-piece. And when Western Civ finally woke from this nightmare war, all the contesting nations were mortified by what had happened, including especially Germany, the nation that perpetrated that particular enormity.

And so, the new supposedly world-saving organization, the United Nations, that cohered after that cataclysm — led, of course by the victors of the Second World War — felt obliged to create a State of Israel in the Bible lands where so long ago, past memory for many in the modern world, there was a place called Israel where the Jews once dwelt. That was Zion, Jerusalem and its precincts, and it was the long-held wish of the Jews scattered about the world to return to Zion, and that is all that the term Zionist means — despite the attempts of the many other Semitic tribes in the region, and their demented allies in the Ivy League — to color it as some sort of demonic host out to swindle the world.

Western Civ, driven by the Progressive Globalist suicide cult, wishes to dissociate itself from Israel now while jihadis seek mayhem and murder in the streets of Berlin, Paris, London, Milan, Amsterdam and even the little towns of the provinces. And in the USA, too. The governments of Western Civ refuse to stop the flood of migrants pouring out of North Africa, the Middle East, and myriad stans of the greater Asian Stans-land. The USA, too, with its long borders being violated at a fantastic scale with the consent of “Joe Biden” & Co. It’s as though they are intent on allowing Western Civ to be overrun and defeated.

Israel, being part of Western Civ, in some ways the beating heart of its heritage, is also deeply conflicted in its own politics. But Mr. Netanyahu refuses to join the suicide cult, to the great consternation of so many inside and outside Israel. He could not be more alone among all the other elected heads of Western Civ nations. Even “Joe Biden” is ragging on him. But hark, as it is said in Western Civ — especially this Christmas season — as in something momentous approacheth. Just in one week past, Argentina elected an anti-Globalist, Javier Milei, by a huge margin, and the Netherlands elected (surprise) a party led by Geert Wilders quite vocally disenchanted with Jihad in his country. Something is up. Mark my words: Germany is next. Western Civ is going to get its mind right after all.

America’s psychodrama has been equally deep and dreadful as Europe’s, but we are heading toward our own political reckoning, and many here have had enough of a life without boundaries in every sense of the word. “Joe Biden” has been the perfect embodiment of no boundaries. And his party is in the process of being destroyed by that before they can complete the destruction of our country. The battle is here, too. And it is joined. Stand back and watch.

Speaking to The New York Times, Dr. Brandon Yan, the lead author of the study, called the findings “unsettling.”

“We need to understand which groups are particularly losing out on years of life expectancy,” he noted, “so interventions can be at least partially focused on these groups.”

When discussing the causes of the life expectancy gap between men and women in the United States, Dr. Yan responded:

“All of these point to a picture of worsening mental health across the board, but particularly among men.”

In recent years, it has become frighteningly common to hear the word “toxic” followed by the word “masculinity.” According to another recent study, published in the International Journal of Health Sciences, men who view masculinity in a negative light are more likely to have lower mental well-being than men who view it in a positive light,

The aptly titled study, “The belief that masculinity has a negative influence on one’s behavior is related to reduced mental well-being,” analyzed the beliefs and behaviors of 4,000 men. The findings clearly demonstrate the relationship between widespread misconceptions surrounding masculinity and how these misconceptions affect men’s mental health. The findings also show that masculine attitudes are something to be preserved and promoted, not demonized.

There was a time, not that long ago, when masculine traits—strength, courage, and assertiveness—were celebrated by all Americans, regardless of their sexual orientation or political affiliations. When did things change? In the 1980s, it seems.

Commenting on the comprehensive study, Eric W. Dolan, the founder and editor of PsyPost, suggests that in the 1980s, “there was a notable shift” in how masculinity was viewed. Specifically, the lens through which it was viewed became more critical in nature. Masculinity, he notes, became synonymous “with negative traits like misogyny and homophobia, and linked to issues such as poor mental health and aggressive behavior.” This unnecessary and entirely destructive transition, adds Mr. Dolan, “was partly fueled by sociological theories, leading to what some call a ‘deficit model’ of masculinity—focusing primarily on its negative aspects.”

Mr. Dolan is right. However, he misses the bigger picture. The #MeToo Movement, I suggest, was the final nail in the coffin of masculinity. In 2017, the year Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct became public knowledge, the social expectations of being a man changed—dramatically so. Masculinity went from being “problematic” to being “toxic,” a “virus” in need of a cure. As is clear to see, males who subscribe to this virulent, deeply flawed theory are more likely to suffer than those who rightly reject it.

John Barry, the author of the abovementioned study and the co-founder of the Centre for Male Psychology, found that males who held a positive view of masculinity reported considerably higher levels of overall positivity than the naysayers. Those who dismissed the statement, “Masculinity prevents me from talking about how I feel about my problems,” had better mental health than those who embraced it.

Interestingly, Mr. Barry found that men with a positive view of masculinity were more likely to feel the need to protect women than those who viewed it more negatively.

When society demonizes masculinity, Mr. Barry told me, “it’s not just men who suffer.” He believes “that women are indirectly hurt by this in many ways.” For example, he added, “If a mother sees her son struggle to feel ok being male, his pain will impact her too. A mother might see her son’s self-esteem slowly crushed as he grows older, feeling that as a man he has nothing positive to offer anyone, including potential girlfriends.”

Mr. Barry’s point is a valid one. Women find masculine men attractive. This is an incontrovertible fact. There’s a reason why, for decades, girls have had posters of James Dean, Paul Newman, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, and Brad Pitt on their walls. It’s not rocket science. It’s evolutionary science.

Men who view masculinity in a negative light may have a hard time attracting a partner. This is especially true if, as Mr. Barry noted, “they become underachievers, reclusive, and abandon any sense of being a protector of women and their community.”

Daughters, he added, “might believe the negative narrative about men and see their father in a negative light, but deeply regret this decades later when it is too late to make up for years of a soured father-daughter relationship.”

Barry’s message is clear: “If people are all connected as members of a society—and I believe that we are—then if men are being poisoned, then society is being poisoned.”

As the Great Unravelling progresses, we shall be seeing many negative developments, some of them unprecedented.

Only a year ago, the average person was still hanging on to the belief that the world is in a state of recovery, that, however tentative, the economy was on the mend.

And this is understandable. After all, the media have been doing a bang-up job of explaining the situation in a way that treats recovery as a general assumption. The only point of discussion is the method applied to achieve the recovery, but the recovery itself is treated as a given.

However, as thorough a distraction as the media (and the governments of the world) have provided, the average person has begun to recognise that something is fundamentally wrong. He now has a gut feeling that, even if he is not well-versed enough to describe in economic terms what is incorrect in the endless chatter he sees on his television, he now senses that the situation will not end well.

I tend to liken his situation to someone who suddenly finds all the lights off in his house. He stumbles around in the dark, trying to feel his way. Although he can picture in his mind what the layout of his house is, he is having trouble navigating, often bumping into things. This is similar to the attempt to see through the media and government smokescreens during normal times.

But soon, as his government undergoes collapse, he will be getting some bigger surprises. He will find that the furniture has inexplicably been moved around. Objects are not where they are supposed to be, and it is no longer possible to reason his way through the problem of navigating in the dark.

Many of those who observe the daily news reports are beginning to figure out that they are being fed misinformation. Many are beginning to recognise that neither political party truly represents them or, for that matter, is even concerned for their welfare.

But the bigger surprises have not yet occurred. There will be a certain amount of lead-up, plus a great deal of confusion, but the actual occurrences will be sudden. No one will be able to predict the dates on which they occur, except those very few people who control the triggers to these events.

Major bull markets rarely end with a whimper. They end with a major upside spike. And, unfortunately, brokers and investors alike tend to think that, if the market has been up for the last week, the last month, or the last year, it can be expected to be up again tomorrow. This makes them prime pickings for governments who may choose to falsely inflate a given market, creating an upside spike to encourage investors to toss their last few coins into the pot, just before the bottom drops out.

In previous eras, it could take time for people to sell, and even in panic times, the bloodletting was not instantaneous. However, with the Internet, all that is necessary is a major sell-off by one entity—one that goes through the stops of a large number of investors, and in a flash, the market goes though the floor. (Editor’s note: Stops are orders placed with a broker to sell a security when it reaches a certain price.) The average investor wakes in the morning to find that he has been wiped out.

Should there be a currency crash, as is expected in many countries, promises made by governments will be abandoned suddenly, as though they had never existed. Whilst millions of people will find themselves lost, unable to function without their entitlements, governments will evade their guilt through finger-pointing. Tories will blame Labour; Labour will blame the Tories. (The equivalent will take place in other countries.) The net result will be the disappearance of entitlements, either in part or in total. The public will take out its anger through increased hatred of whichever party it is that they already consider to be the evil one. They will fail to understand that collapse was unavoidable.

International alliances will fall away. Former allies will suddenly not be at the side of the failing nation.

Wealth, initiative, and favour will flow to the new foremost country and its allies.

All of the above will happen incrementally—not by any means on the same day—but in each case, the actual occurrence will be sudden.

Just as Julius Caesar was at his peak of power when his fellow members of the Senate drew their knives, a powerful nation is coddled right until the time of its fall. In this regard, the US will see the greatest abandonment of loyalties that any nation will experience.

(The greater the empire, the greater the pretence of loyalty to it. And the greater the abandonment when the fall comes.)

When an empire collapses, it dies slowly. Unless it comes to an end through conquest, it deteriorates in a series of sudden jolts. Its leaders grasp at anything that might cause a delay, even if this means a worse outcome in the end. The process may take years and even decades. However, it is in the first few years that the major events occur—the events that create the most significant damage.

This occurs for two reasons. The first is that the leaders of the country, believing in their own power, believe that they can maintain control of their trade, their overseas control, their military, etc. and find that, when the crashes come, the rats desert the ship in every area. The second reason is that any empire builds its strength upon lies and exaggeration as much as it builds on its true attributes. After a crash, these lies and exaggerations fall away, and in a short time, it becomes clear that the empire was, in its latter stages, a house of cards.

The victims in this play are, unfortunately, the average people, who simply hope to have a decent life. They will be caught unawares and unable to even understand what has occurred, let alone take action to save themselves. Those who have not spent the previous years educating themselves and preparing an alternative life will suffer most greatly.

All who live in a country that is undergoing collapse will be negatively affected. Some will do better than others, but to live on this slim hope is much like being fortunate enough to live on the outskirts of Hiroshima in 1945.

There is little comfort in being one of the least injured. Better to have been in another country altogether—both during the actual event and during the terrible time that is sure to follow.

China's major shadow bank Zhongzhi declares 'severe insolvency' with a $36 billion shortfall, signaling liquidity problems in the $2.9 trillion Chinese shadow banking sector.

Known for real estate investments, Zhongzhi attributes the deficit to internal management issues facing operational risks.

The crisis further highlights instability in China's real estate market, raising concerns of possible contagion effects to other banks and to banks in other countries, like the USA.

A climate change and social justice organization known as the "Seven Circles Alliance" disrupted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City Thursday by laying down in the street, blocking the parade route, and chanting "liberation for Palestine and planet."

"We are calling for liberation of Palestine and our planet," a female protester in the group said on a video of the protest obtained by Newsmax. "There is an ongoing genocide, and our planet is dying. We are calling on the United States government to take a stand. To call for an end to apartheid, to call for an end to the use of fossil fuels. We are all at risk here."

Several protesters climbed over the fencing and laid down in the middle of the street on the parade route and poured a red liquid resembling blood on themselves before police arrived to arrest them.

According to the organization's website, the group is "a coalition of diverse groups that employ direct action to bring class consciousness to the climate movement and force political and economic system change through a decolonial lens."

"Our objective is to unite labor unions, climate scientists, student bodies, and socialist organizations with the general public to instigate an international general strike to confront the elephant in the room, capitalism," the group states on the site. "To evolve past the market-based limitations we are facing, we must decentralize private capital and its henchmen, the corporations. Without the de-commodification of the ecological means of survival, conditions will continue to deteriorate exponentially."

The 97th Macy's Parade is an annual Thanksgiving tradition in New York City and brings thousands of people along its route through Manhattan.

The parade started on Manhattan's Upper West Side, making its way alongside Central Park in front of big crowds and a national television audience before ending in front of Macy's flagship store on 34th Street.

Thousands lined the streets in coats on a sunny morning. Children were on the shoulders of their parents, shouting as iconic balloons representing Snoopy and SpongeBob and Leo the Lizard went by.

Among the big names performing was Cher, who has just released her first Christmas album. The Oscar-, Emmy- and Grammy Award-winner had a prime spot — performing just before the arrival of Santa Claus, which marks the end of the parade.

At street level, the procession includes more than two dozen floats, interspersed with marching bands from around the country and a number of clown crews among the 8,000 people participating, organizers said.

All the media is so anti-common sense that anyone who dares to take any contrary view is called “FAR RIGHT” as if they are Nazis. Never in all my years have I ever witnessed the mainstream media so FAR LEFT that they are destroying the very foundation of civilization, and they do not care. The position MUST be their view, and anything to the contrary is evil. This is NOT a free society, nor is this how civilizations are maintained. When you divide the nation in such a manner and impose your will by sheer dictatorship, the end is near.

TIME Magazine characterized the Dutch election as a “FAR RIGHT” victory. They want to exit the EU and retake their sovereignty. They are flooded with immigrants, and crime has soared all because Merkel opened the borders unilaterally. The EU was never asked to vote on this policy – NEVER. But if you dare object, you are the dangerous and evil FAR RIGHT. Friends there will not allow their daughter to walk to the bus station for fear she will be raped.

What the EU has done to the Dutch farmers is insane, and they are so braindead they fail to understand that the planet goes through cycles and reducing food production as we head into solar minimum risks food shortages and rising disease as well as starvation. But if you oppose that, you are now the evil FAR RIGHT. As they told the people, and they agreed, the Netherlands “has been seriously weakened due the ongoing asylum tsunami and mass immigration.” They also pledged to stop sending aid to Ukraine. Their country is being transformed into an Islamic State, and they called for a ban on the Quran and for shutting down mosques. France is generally projected to be an Islamic nation within 40 years. Our computer shows that can happen as soon as 2032, thanks to an 8:1 birth rate in favor of Muslims. But if you want to retain Europe as a Christian continent, you are the dangerous evil FAR RIGHT.

The violence has already begun, from attempts to burn down Christian churches in Southern Europe to killing a 16-year-old boy, stabbing him to death, and injuring 17 others. The assailants declared, “We are here to stab white people’ before the rampage, according to a report. ” Mobs in Eastern Pakistan target Christian churches. In Jerusalem, extremist Jews were chanting, “Death to Arabs … Death to Christians.” Then, in Europe, there has been a surge in Quran burning in response to the influx of Muslims. We are looking at the beginning of a religious war brewing everywhere. This contributes to our Civil Unrest Model, which turned up here in 2023.

As food prices continue to increase because of inflation, more Americans say that this Thanksgiving, they’re turning to local food banks to get essentials for the holiday feast. “This is the first time I’ve had to pick up a box of everyday staples from a food bank in my life,” Brenda Stuart, of Washington, told The Epoch Times. “I am not destitute; I have a job, but I can’t afford to make Thanksgiving dinner the way prices are at the grocery store.” Ms. Stuart is one of several people interviewed by The Epoch Times who said that they’ve been forced to seek out food assistance ahead of the holidays because of soaring costs at the supermarket. “I can buy a live turkey for just about the same price it costs to buy a frozen one at the store,” Tammy Moore, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, told The Epoch Times. “I was going to pick up some cranberry sauce, then I saw how expensive it was, and I wanted to vomit.” Canned cranberries have increased in price by 7 percent compared to a year ago, according to the annual Wells Fargo Thanksgiving consumer report. The report also indicates that the cost of turkeys is actually down by 16 percent compared to fall 2022, while ham—up by 5.2 percent from a year ago—has hit an all-time high. Fresh numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index (CPI) also show that prices for food at home rose by 0.3 percent in October after rising 0.1 percent in September, while grocery prices overall have increased by nearly 17 percent in the past two years. The CPI is the most widely followed measure of inflation. ‘It’s Humiliating’ Some Americans who are visiting food banks for the first time said that they feel shame and never thought that they would be in a food crisis in the most powerful country in the world. “Yes, I lease an Audi and rent an apartment in Georgetown. OK, I’m a little over my head, but I didn’t think it would ever come to this,” Isaac Montgomery, of Washington, told The Epoch Times. “It’s humiliating having to ask for welfare because of how the country is right now.” Mr. Montgomery, who doesn’t identify with any political party, said that things were better under then-President Donald Trump. “Even during the pandemic, he kept [expletive] together; it seems like once [President Joe] Biden took over, things started go downhill,” he said. “I can’t keep up with my bills.” A recent study released by Bankrate shows that wages won't be able to outpace inflation until the end of 2024. “If the job market remains relatively strong and economic growth proceeds, many workers should be able to retain employment and to pocket wage gains that remain above the rate of inflation,” Bankrate Senior Economic Analyst Mark Hamrick said. Several major retailers have stepped in to make the traditional turkey dinner more affordable for consumers. Target is offering a Thanksgiving dinner that will feed four people for $25, which includes a 10-pound turkey and an assortment of sides. "We know our guests are looking for incredible value and ease as they get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with their loved ones," said Rick Gomez, chief food and beverage officer at Target. Walmart is also offering low-priced Thanksgiving meal options that include turkeys for less than $1 a pound and various side dishes.

Bidenomics Although inflation continues to wreak havoc for many Americans this holiday season, President Biden has been campaigning for reelection across the country, trying to build enthusiasm for his economic record. “The unemployment rate has stayed below 4 percent for 20 months in a row, the longest stretch in 50 years, and inflation is coming down at the same time. It’s down from 60 percent—it’s down 60 percent since last summer,” President Biden said at a rally in Minnesota on Nov. 1. “Folks, all of this is no accident. It’s Bidenomics.” Some voters, meanwhile, seem baffled as to how Bidenomics is working if prices continue to rise. “When was the last time he walked into a Kroger [grocery store]?” Ashley Gutierrez of Moorefield, West Virginia, told The Epoch Times. “I think his people are telling him lies.” According to national polling conducted by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, only 35 percent of Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans on economic issues. And when those surveyed were told that economists say that inflation is going down and unemployment is at record lows, 7 out of 10 believed it. Another poll recently released by the Financial Times and the University of Michigan found that only 14 percent of voters believe that they're better off financially now than when President Biden took office. “I hear Biden talk a lot about how there are high-paying jobs out there. Maybe for his friends, but everybody I know is barely making it,” Ms. Gutierrez said. She said that even with the $766 in benefits that she receives from the state’s supplemental nutrition assistance program each month, it isn't enough to buy groceries for her family. “I have two kids, I go to Kroger once a month, and all my food stamps are gone because that’s how expensive food is,” Ms. Gutierrez said. “For the rest, I rely on Mountaineer [a local food bank].” The price of food isn't the only thing to have increased because of inflation. The average cost of auto insurance, which jumped by 1.9 percent just from September to October, has soared by nearly 20 percent from a year ago. As new and used vehicles have grown more expensive, so has the cost of insuring them. And health insurance prices rose by 1.1 percent last month, although that was largely because of a change in the government’s methodology. Gas prices, despite a steep decline from a year ago, are still 46 percent higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic. But even as some price increases slow, it doesn’t mean that inflation is necessarily reversing. The CPI is still about 20 percent higher than it was before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The chief of staff for the Defense Department’s bureau was arrested during a large-scale human trafficking sting that rounded up dozens of alleged perpetrators and victims.

Steve Hovanic, the Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA), was arrested along with more than two dozen other perps accused of pandering, prostitution & pimping, and drug possession.

Hovanic, 64, was charged by the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office with pandering during a two-day operation.

Stephen Hovanic, 64, of Sharpsburg, Georgia, was arrested on Nov. 15 in a sting that netted 25 additional suspects on charges related to prostitution as well as drugs, weapons, and warrants, according to the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office and its Police to Citizen Portal website.

Fox5atlanta reported: The sheriff’s office also says six women whom they identified as victims of human trafficking were offered help.

Hovanic reportedly told officials that he thought he was purchasing a massage, and not sex, from the woman who turned out to be an undercover officer.

Deputies say the human trafficking investigation continues, and more arrests and charges are possible.

Hovanic began his academic career in 1982 as a high school vocational teacher, coach, and school administrator for Virginia public schools, according to his DODEA biography.

He joined DODEA in 1996 as an assistant principal at Quantico Middle-High School before serving as principal of Dahlgren Unit School.

“The victims were taken to an undisclosed ‘safe house,’ where they will receive the help they need to move forward from the heinous crime of human trafficking,” he said

We first reported on the human trafficking sting earlier this month, which saw the multi-state prostitution ring serving elite clients, including elected officials, military officers, and tech executives, which was uncovered by the feds following the two arrests of those suspected of running the operation.

Federal investigators allege the suspects operated websites that advertised professional photography appointments at luxury apartments.

However, investigators believe the photography sessions were just a front for hiring women for illicit sex services.

Prosecutors say the three accused brothel operators charged clients anywhere from $350 to upwards of $600 per hour depending on the sex services they were selling.

These three defendants allegedly concealed the proceeds of the illicit services using money orders in values under the amount that would typically trigger reporting and identification requirements.

With The 'Grand Culling' Fully Underway, NY Times Story Warns Of Abominable Days Ahead As Far Too Many Parents Played 'Russian Roulette' With The Lives Of Their Children

The recent story over at the NY Times speaks amazing volumes considering the mainstream media's tendency to lie through their teeth to enable medical tyranny, while also beating around the bush to avoid reality, giving us a great sign exactly where we're being herded in the days, weeks and months ahead.

With the NY Times story titled "Can’t Think, Can’t Remember: More Americans Say They’re in a Cognitive Fog," the subtitle avoided reality and blamed 'long COVID,' with that subtitle being "Adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s are driving the trend. Researchers point to long Covid as a major cause."

Confirming what we've been reporting on ANP about the overall mental health of Americans since the vaxxes came out and people, especially those in their 20's, 30's and 40's, started dropping dead out of the blue, quite often healthy young athletes in the primes of their lives who were suffering from no known physical ailments, this new story over at News Addicts that Steve Quayle linked to on his website earlier Wednesday offers us an alarming look at the implications of what's now unfolding.

Titled "Suddens Deaths Explode Among Vaxxed Children and Babies," as Steve direly warned in a very perceptive SQnote while linking to that story, "STILL DON'T BELIEVE THE CV-19 PLANDEMIC WAS A HUMAN EXTINCTION LEVEL BIO-WEAPONIZED ATTACK ON HUMAN'S FUTURE? NO CHILDREN, NO FUTURE - WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?"

Showing the most innocent and helpless members of society have been targeted, thus giving the eugenicist globalists working to cull the human race a 'win-win' as not only are they getting rid of those who they see as 'useless eaters' but making sure those newborns and young ones also never have children, as that News Addicts story warns, sudden and unexpected deaths among newborns and young children have skyrocketed to alarming levels throughout 2022 and 2023.

So while the previously mentioned NY Times story reported the studies being done on this rapidly spreading 'brain fog' are quick to blame 'long COVID,' it never mentioned the 'vaxxines' as being a possible cause for the explosion of young Americans suffering devastating health problems since COVID, especially 'brain fog' and other cognitive, neurological effects. Though as we read in that story, it's NOT 'brain fog,' it's a very real 'brain injury' Americans are suffering from. From the NY Times story.:

There are more Americans who say they have serious cognitive problems — with remembering, concentrating or making decisions — than at any time in the last 15 years, data from the Census Bureau shows.

About as many adults ages 18 to 64 now report severe cognitive issues as report trouble walking or taking the stairs, for the first time since the bureau started asking the questions each month in the 2000s.

The rise in cognitive issues aligns with a common symptom that plagues many Covid long-haulers: “brain fog.”

Studies estimate some 20 percent to 30 percent of people who get Covid have some cognitive impairment several months later, including people with symptoms ranging from mild to debilitating. Research has also shown clear biological changes from the virus related to cognition, including, in some long Covid patients, lower levels of serotonin.

“It’s not just fog, it’s a brain injury, basically,” said Dr. Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, chair of rehabilitation medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. “There are neurovascular changes. There’s inflammation. There are changes on M.R.I.s.”

And just as we had warned they'd be doing in this November 12th story on ANP titled "Globalists Using 'Climate Change' To Cover Up Carrying Out Genocide Upon Our Children And Their Crimes Upon Humanity: They Found An Excuse For Their 'Died Suddenly' Massacre," they'll continue to find one excuse after another for all of these bizarre injuries and neurological behavior and 'mysterious deaths'.

Going so far as to actually blame 'climate change' as we'd reported in that November 12th ANP story, all of the people who've been injured will never know the truth, that they've been 'culling the masses' with their bioweapon releases, both COVID and the vaxxes, NEVER telling the world the blunt truth, they've intentionally released the bioweapons to 'cull humanity' down to a much more 'manageable' level.

With all of us here at ANP absolutely outraged that the 'scum of the Earth' global elite continue to get away with mass murder with no indications what-so-ever they'll ever be held accountable for carrying out genocide, leaving our totally corrupt and murderous government, and an incredibly enriched 'big pharma,' dancing off into the sunset, who else reading this has noticed non-stop commercials and advertisements from 'big pharma,' for all kinds of new 'vaxxines,' in recent days all over the TV, internet and radio?

As Susan Duclos and I have noticed while being unwantedly exposed to such ads on a nearly regular basis recently, they all seem to end with warnings such as the following, which show the actual 'vaxxine' is even worse than the 'disease' they were allegedly created to protect us from! The following comes to us from Pfizer/Comirnaty about the possible 'problems' of giving COVID vaxxes to our children.:

There is a remote chance that the vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to one hour after getting a dose of the vaccine. For this reason, your child’s vaccination provider may ask your child to stay at the place where he or she received the vaccine for monitoring after vaccination. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include:

Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Myocarditis and pericarditis following Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines have occurred most commonly in adolescent males 12 through 17 years of age. In most of these individuals, symptoms began within a few days following vaccination. The chance of having this occur is very low. You should seek medical attention right away if your child has any of the following symptoms after receiving the vaccine, particularly during the 2 weeks after your child receives a dose of the vaccine:

Side effects that have been reported with Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines include:

- Non-severe allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, hives, or swelling of the face

These may not be all the possible side effects of the vaccine. Serious and unexpected side effects may occur. Call your child's vaccination provider or healthcare provider about bothersome side effects or side effects that do not go away.

So knowing that those are possible 'side effects' of the vaxxes, are you ready to play 'Russian roulette' with the health and very lives of YOUR CHILDREN at stake, trusting govt and big pharma? Anybody ready to rush out and get your 'Fall of 2023 COVID vax' now? Yeah, we won't be, either.

And take note that Pfizer NEVER mentioned sudden and unexpected deaths as another possible 'side effect' of their vaxxes, though as we've reported on ANP time and again over the last couple of years since the vax was tyrannically ordered upon the American people, we've seen video after video of people, often quite young and healthy people with no visible health problems, simply dropping dead.

Captured on videos having seizures as happened to this bus driver before he plowed his bus into a row of motorcycles and cars, or this 28-year-old soccer player who suddenly collapsed and died on the field, or this 28 minute long compilation video showing countless people doing bizarre death spins, seeming to be seeing something, invisible to the rest of us, flying around them before they collapse and die, 'big pharma' and 'big government' will never be held accountable for all of these mysterious deaths and injuries as long as they're allowed to keep carrying out this 'grand culling' we've been witnessing.

While in the first video below we hear that there is NO scientific evidence that a 'mass vaccination' has EVER eliminated any diseases, and have quite often been the cause of even greater health problems that followed, in the second video below we hear a discussion about what 'big pharma' and 'big govt' doesn't want us to know.

And in the fourth/final video below we see a new full feature-length film called "Shot Dead". Featuring Dr. Peter McCullough, who also is featured in the third video below, an interview with him about the heartbreaking movie "Shot Dead," in that alarming movie we hear from the parents who lost their children following them getting 'vaxxed'. Descriptions of both of those final two videos.:

Dr. Peter McCullough joins us for a special Shot Dead episode of Faithful Freedom with Teryn Gregson, presented by WeThePatriotsUSA.org. Dr. McCullough speaks out in a never before seen, full interview where we talk childhood vaccines as a whole, myocarditis and more. Dr. McCullough gave his expert opinion on the autopsies of the children featured in our new documentary, Shot Dead. This is the full interview. To watch how his interview intertwines with the stories of three families chronicling the loss of their children after the COVID shot, watch the full feature-length film at ShotDead.org.

This is the movie we wish we didn’t have to make. But this is a movie everyone needs to see. For the first time ever, hear the stories of covid shot deaths as told by the parents who lost their children. Hear from the families brave enough to speak up and admit that the shot killed their children. Hear from the ones who have refused to keep quiet. We all know that there are so many who have sold out to pharma, denying that their loved ones were hurt or killed by the shots. But there is no amount of money or threats that can keep these parents from speaking truth in honor of their children…and so this doesn’t happen to one more child.

And ANP joins those incredibly brave parents and WeThePatriotsUSA in promising to continue to 'speak truth to power' as long as we are able. Thank you so much for making that possible, and God Bless.

Texas officials warn of rolling blackouts to ease strain on power grid - the same strategy that led to 200 people's deaths during massive winter storm in 2021

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said it may need to adopt controlled outages if temperatures plummet again

The state operator adopted the strategy amid the cold snap of February 2021 in which more than 200 people died

Texas officials have warned they may need to use rolling blackouts to ease the strain on the state's power grid this winter, despite the same strategy resulting in over 200 deaths during a previous storm.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said it may need to employ controlled outages if temperatures plunge below freezing for days on end as they did in February 2021.

ERCOT ordered rolling blackouts to help cope with the surge in demand as Texans cranked up the heating to cope with the plummeting mercury. Hundreds of people subsequently died.

At its peak, four million people were kept in the dark for a record 70.5 hours after 365 generators were knocked offline as a result of the severe weather.

The situation was so severe prompted President Biden declared a state of emergency to unlock federal aid for the Lone Star State.

Now ERCOT has warned there is a 14.4 percent chance it will need to employ controlled outages in December, with the estimate rising to 16.8 percent in January.

The state operator said the blackouts were most likely to occur at 8am, to coincide with when most people wake up and start using electricity.

The strategy has raised eyebrows given that more than 200 people died following the storm in February 2021, with many of the deaths attributed to the power cuts.

Deaths were registered as a result of hyperthermia due to indoor temperatures plunging to deadly lows, accidents and carbon monoxide poisonings, as people turned on heaters and grills in a desperate attempt to stay warm.

The storm resulted Texas experiencing some of its coldest temperatures in more than 30 years, with some areas breaking records that more than a century old.

It also shut down the nation's largest oil refinery. Motiva said it closed the Port Arthur, Texas, refinery due to the 'unprecedented' freezing conditions along the Gulf Coast.

As temperatures plunged and snow and ice whipped the state, much of Texas’ power grid collapsed, followed by its water system.

ERCOT decided to adopt the rolling outage strategy after the grid began to buckle under demand, later admitting at one point it was just four minutes and 37 seconds away from total collapse.

At the time, officials said the blackouts were, a 'last resort to preserve the reliability of the electric system as a whole.'

It meant that Texans were left without power and heat for days on end in some cases while the mercury plummeted to a low of -20F.

People who fled to the homes of relatives or neighbors had to consider the risks of contracting or spreading the coronavirus.

The strain on the grid has been partly attributed to Texas' surging population, which has grown by a fifth since 2010.

ERCOT data shows that usage hit record levels over the summer and continues to set new records each month.

Attempts to keep pace with the increased usage have seen developments in green energy such as solar or wind farms, however these are weather dependent.

Wind turbines, which account for a fifth of the state's energy, froze solid amid the bitterly cold temperatures.

This combined with the lack of new natural gas plants which can produce energy on demand and the weather created a perfect storm which left millions without power and water.

'The resource mix that's changing on the grid isn't really helping to pick up the growing peaks in the winter,' ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas told the Boston Globe.

While wind turbines and solar panels froze, a major nuclear plant lost half of its generation, and there were massive failures in coal, oil, and natural gas.

Oil production in the country's largest crude-producing state plunged by more than two million barrels a day due to the storm, sending prices surging to $60 a barrel for the first time in a year.

Demand surged, meanwhile, as people accustomed to mild Texas winters turned on their heat.

ERCOT board chairman Sally Talberg branded the February 2021 situation a 'humanitarian crisis'.

In the wake of the deaths, new protocols were adopted around extreme weather for power plants, including incentivizing them to maintain a backup supply in case of emergencies.

But the situation could be replicated again this year after experts revealed the El Niño weather pattern is expected to reach 'historic' levels.

During such winters, there is more snow than average in Texas and the Midwest area of the U.S. and western states like Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah.

Ex-CIA Director Michael Hayden Smears Patriotic American Christians: ‘No Different’ from Hamas Terrorists

Former NSA and CIA chief Michael Hayden, who has fashioned a post-government career attacking and censoring conservatives, is spending his Thanksgiving week smearing patriotic American Christians who own firearms, claiming they are “no different” from Hamas terrorists.

On Wednesday, Michael Hayden responded to a post on X that juxtaposed two photos: one of a woman holding an American flag, Bible, and handgun; the other of Palestinian terrorist Reem Riyashi, who killed herself along with four Israelis in a 2004 suicide bombing that was claimed by Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.

Hayden’s preposterous claim comes less than two months after Hamas terrorists launched their October 7 massacre of approximately 1,200 Israelis, the worst attack on Jewish people since the Holocaust.

His alarming rhetoric is part of his ongoing smear campaign against conservatives, particularly supporters of former President Donald Trump. In a social media post this week, the former spy chief called for Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville to be removed from the “human race.”

In addition to serving as a CNN talking head, Hayden works as an adviser for NewsGuard — the organization that claims to be a neutral resource for consumers to find trustworthy news outlets. In reality, the group steers people toward left-leaning, corporate-owned media, including those that have published verifiable disinformation without corrections.

Newsguard also targets right-wing news sites in what amounts to attempts to censor and blacklist them.

Hayden was among the former deep state officials who lied to Americans by falsely claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.”

Shallow M6.7 earthquake hits Vanuatu; Powerful M6.0 earthquake strikes off Maluku Utara, Indonesia

Two strong earthquakes shook Vanuatu (M6.7) and Indonesia (M6.0) today. No tsunami threats or warnings.

A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck northern Vanuatu on Wednesday, the United States Geological Survey said, but authorities said it was not expected to trigger a tsunami.

The quake had a depth of 22 kilometers (14 miles), hitting about 300 km north of the capital Port Vila at around 3:37 pm (0447 GMT).

Centered near a sparsely populated cluster of islands, the USGS said there was a “low likelihood of casualties and damage” from the tremor.

A hotel receptionist in Port Olry, some 98 kilometers (60 miles) from the epicenter, told AFP she felt a “little earthquake” and “saw the ground shaking” but was not aware of any damage.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was “no tsunami threat from this earthquake”.

Earthquakes are common in Vanuatu, a low-lying archipelago of 320,000 people who straddle the seismic Ring of Fire.

The Ring of Fire is an arc of intense tectonic activity that stretches through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin.

At least seven people were killed in April this year when a 7.0-magnitude quake hit a jungle-clad area in Papua New Guinea.

A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 struck the eastern side of Indonesia on Wednesday, leaving authorities on alert but with no immediate reports of casualties or damages in the affected area.

The earthquake’s epicenter was located 94 kilometers (58 miles) west of Tobelo in Indonesia’s North Maluku province, and it occurred at a significant depth of 116 kilometers (72 miles).

Despite the strength of the quake, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency reassured the public that there was no potential danger of a tsunami. However, they cautioned about the possibility of aftershocks, urging residents to remain vigilant in the aftermath of the seismic event.

Indonesia, being a vast archipelago with a population exceeding 270 million people, is no stranger to seismic activity. The country is positioned along the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Basin, making it prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The frequent occurrence of such natural disasters underscores the importance of preparedness and monitoring systems in the region.

The earthquake serves as a reminder of Indonesia’s vulnerability to geological events. Last year, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck West Java’s Cianjur city, claiming the lives of at least 331 people and injuring nearly 600. This event was notably the deadliest in Indonesia since the devastating 2018 earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi, which resulted in the tragic loss of approximately 4,340 lives.

Hamas terror organization charter targets Christians and US service organizations

If you are Christian, a member of another religion or even participate in your local Rotary club or the Lions, Hamas also considers you an enemy, too.

"Hamas is using Gaza as an umbrella to be legitimate," says author and Middle East expert Walid Phares. "The reality is this is a jihadist movement, and it is manifesting itself in America and Canada, and in Western Europe. We have never been at this level of danger for our democratic world."

The Hamas charter seeks to expand Islam to become the controlling religion across the globe, targeting any non-believer, which includes "Main Street" America.

The terrorist group's guiding philosophy is detailed in "The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement," which was adopted on Aug. 18, 1988.

It says that the duty of every Muslim is "Jihad," that "there is no solution to the Palestinian question except through Jihad," and says "the Jews will not be pleased with thee, neither the Christians," until they follow the ways of Hamas.

"Israel is just a thick skin though the rest of the international community that happens to be blocking them," says Phares, who has written the new book, "Iran, An Imperialistic Republic and U.S. Policy," that explains how Tehran's proxies, like Hamas, spread their message of hate.

Article 22 of the Hamas charter mentions an unexpected subject of its call for Jihad, the "American as apple pie" business, community and charitable organizations found throughout the nation: Rotary and Lions clubs. Freemasonry is also on its list.

The charter cites what it calls "secret societies, such as Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, the Lions and others in different parts of the world for the purpose of sabotaging societies and achieving Zionist interests." Hamas faults the humanitarian organizations, falsely accusing them of attempting to "colonize many countries in order to enable them to exploit their resources and spread corruption."

"They are part of what the Jihadists consider a sin, a national sin," Phares explained. "They will go against them; they will go against the Freemasons and they will go against every entity that is a social organization."

FBI Director Christoper Wray appeared before the House Committee on Homeland Security last week, announcing that the bureau has ramped up extensive investigations into Hamas in order to disrupt any potential Hamas-related attacks on U.S. soil and shut down any financial support flowing to the terrorist group.

"We’ve kept our sights on Hamas and have multiple investigations into individuals affiliated with that foreign terrorist organization," said Wray.

"We've seen a rogue’s gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against Americans and our allies," he told the panel. "We cannot — and do not — discount the possibility that Hamas or another foreign terrorist organization may exploit the current conflict to conduct attacks here, on our own soil."

Federal prosecutors have brought a slew of cases against Hamas-affiliated charities and individuals in the U.S.

The most notable convictions, in 2008, were of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development and five of its leaders on charges of giving material support to Hamas. The foundation, based in Richardson, Texas, just north of Dallas, was found to have funneled at least $12 million to Hamas, and some of its leaders were sentenced to as many as 65 years in federal prison.

Congressional testimony linked the Holy Land Foundation with current Hamas political leader Abu Marzouk, who authorities said in 1992 "provided more than 10 percent of all donations to the Holy Land Foundation." Today, Marzouk is believed to be living in Qatar and is worth more than $3 billion.

While FBI Director Wray said that "we’re not currently tracking a specific plot," he explained that the bureau is "keeping a close eye on what impact recent events may have on those terrorist groups’ intentions here in the United States, and how those intentions might evolve."

Both the Rotary and Lions clubs told Fox News that their organizations are not political and are known for their vast volunteer and charitable work around the globe.

Both the Rotary Club and the Lions said they have more than 1.4 million members and are engaged in a variety of humanitarian efforts, from providing food programs and rebuilding communities to fighting diseases and providing clean water, sanitation and hygiene.

The Lions told Fox News that "Lions International is a non-political, non-sectarian volunteer service organization whose members are dedicated to serving a world in need."

The Rotary said that it, too, "is non-political, non-religious and exclusively focused on providing humanitarian support everywhere."

Observers note it is a sad and revealing testament to the misguided philosophy of Hamas, that it would ever consider those who help as worthy of its enmity.

EXCLUSIVE: Barack Obama is using his toxic radical, 'un-American, Marxist and anti-Semitic' views to control the Biden presidency, author Scott McKay claims in new book

Author Scott McKay claims Obama would have never been elected 'if mainstream America recognized the full extent of his radical associations and influences'

Racism, Revenge and Ruin: It's all Obama, published by Calamo Press looks back at his negativism towards Israel and its leadership

McKay believes Obama is serving an unofficial third term by pulling strings behind Biden's presidency with institutions who embrace his 'Marxist vision'

Barack Obama has been controlled and dominated by radical, 'un-American' Marxist, communist and anti-Semitic influencers throughout his life – and is using those same toxic philosophies to control the Biden presidency, a new incendiary book about the former president claims.

The 44th POTUS, who has been outspoken about the ongoing Israel-Hamas war – condemning Israel's decision to cut off water and energy from Gaza last month - would have adopted his left-leaning foreign policies long before he entered politics, having studied under two radical, anti-Semitic Palestinian academics, Eric Said and Rashid Khalidi, at the University of Chicago.

And according to Scott McKay, a contributing editor at The American Spectator and political commentator, it's those questionable but generally overlooked ties to such principles and scholars that could have otherwise cost Obama the support of the American people in 2008.

In his new book, Racism, Revenge and Ruin: It's all Obama, published by Calamo Press, McKay writes: 'If mainstream America recognized the full extent of Barack Obama's radical associations and influences…with all that un-American baggage trailing him, he never would have been elected president.'

The result of Obama's radical, anti-American affiliations and beliefs, McKay says, 'is an America we no longer recognize where the insanity that men are women and women are men is official dogma; where our great cities are cesspools of depravity and rampant crime goes unpunished; where our borders are no longer worth of the term'.

Believing the former president has been pulling the strings behind the Biden presidency, McKay sees Obama serving an unelected third term, and with federal institutions run by elites who also embrace Obama's vision – as a Marxist.

He discusses the presidential contenders for the 2024 election – with a warning about the Obamas.

McKay notes that while California governor, 'oily pretty boy' Gavin Newsome is circling the presidency, Michelle Obama is the Democrats' obvious choice.

He suggests that Michelle's second bestselling book, the Light We Carry, published in 2022, is an attempt by the former first lady to strengthen her appeal to women and minorities.

And McKay warns: 'If American's slide is to be halted, a fifth Obama term – whoever the candidate – must be prevented.

Today with the Israeli war raging, McKay looks back at Obama's negativism about the Jewish state and its leadership.

In France for the G20 summit in November 2011, Obama had a one-on one meeting with French president Nicolas Sarkozy and was caught on a hot microphone responding to Sarkozy's comment that he couldn't stand Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

'You're sick of him? I have to work with him every day,' Obama told the French leader.

In March 2010, writes McKay, it was revealed that Obama had attempted to derail Netanyahu's re-election efforts in an effort to force Israel to make concessions to the Palestinians in exchange for peace -- and give the Palestinians an independent state.

He was sending U.S. tax dollars in 'aid' that went for terrorist training and rockets and not for building power or water systems, or running schools, the author writes.

Instead of demanding that the Palestinians concede the right of Israel to exist, recounts the author, Obama demanded that Netanyahu retreat to its pre-1967 borders.

He then dispatched former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to read a list of his demands that included releasing some Palestinian prisoners as an act of goodwill; lift its siege of Gaza; suspend all settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

Wagging her finger, Hillary told Netanyahu that if he refused these demands, 'the U.S. government will conclude we no longer share the same interests.'

Netanyahu came to the White House by the end of that March to establish peace only to get a 'tongue-lashing' directly from Obama who then retired to his private residence for dinner leaving the Israeli leader sitting in the Roosevelt Room.

The American Jewish groups in Obama's coalition were furious at the overt hostility expressed by the president who was forced to invite the Israeli leader back to the White House and get a return finger wagging and a lecture on the Middle East.

'Obama's poisonous attitude increasingly took firm root with his party – so much so that hostility toward the Jewish state is the new norm in the Democratic Party, its traditional support for Israel a relic of the past,' McKay writes.

McKay also points to a video purportedly archived by the Los Angeles Times of Obama speaking at a going away party for Khalid when he left Chicago for Columbia University – 'reportedly releasing a fusillade of incendiary anti-Israeli rhetoric,' writes McKay.

The liberal newspaper refused to release the video that shows 'how chummy Obama was with Hamas-affiliated Palestinians,' McKay says.

Among Obama's mentors was Harvard and NYU law professor Derrick Bell, a pioneer of Critical Race Theory that defines America as 'systemically racist.'

Obama's 'real and lasting political and moral education,' writes McKay, 'appears to have been at the feet of Frank Marshall Davis, a black Stalinist writer long associated with communist affiliated organizations in Chicago who the author refers to as Obama's 'ideological and intellectual father.'

Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, once reportedly posed in the nude for Davis, whose hobby was posing and photographing nude young white women.

Documentary filmmaker Joel Gilbert, researching his 2012 film, Dreams From My Real Father, unearthed nude photos of her that Davis had made available to the public in a mail-order catalog, writes the author.

Davis was once pointed to at a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing as 'an identified member of the Communist Party.'

And a 600-page FBI file has listed Davis as 'potentially dangerous to national security' and suggested he be 'detained or arrested in the event of a national emergency.'

At Occidental College, where Obama did little but 'drank and argued politics,' a classmate, John Drew, recalled America's future first black president 'was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class struggle point of view.'

According to Drew, Obama anticipated a 'revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute wealth.'

For two decades, writes the author, Obama listened to the thundering demands and lies of his radical pastor, Jeremiah Wright in Chicago at Trinity United Church of Christ.

Wright has accused the U.S. government of unleashing HIV/AIDS on the African-American community and of practicing terrorism overseas.

But when Obama's affiliation with Wright was exposed, Obama would claim he was made out to be the victim by the media.

Obama launched his political career with a campaign in 1995 in the Chicago living room of far-left militant organizer and Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers, who, according to the author, 'almost certainly ghost wrote much if not all of Obama's first memoir, 'Dreams Of My Father', that year.

According to the author, he had a close relationship with Tony Rezko, a land baron and restaurant franchisee who contributed $250,000 to Obama's campaigns before being indicted on multiple charges, including wire fraud, bribery money laundering and attempted extortion.

McKay critically observes that a 'compliant mainstream media let Obama off the hook' for his radical past and dangerous connections 'and never challenged him for any of it,' writes McKay.

And after Obama was elected, the media remained silent protecting him at all costs.

A starstruck media has refused to acknowledge Obama's lifelong radical associations with some of the most notorious figures in American life, writes the author.

"We have located underground infrastructure and information about the hostages," IDF spokesman R.-Adm Daniel Hagari said on Friday. "In the past day, we have taken over the Al-Burkan outpost.

"Fighting in Gaza is fighting in a complex environment that requires time," he continued. "We are determined to move forward, destroy and kill terrorists, and dismantle the military infrastructure of Hamas."

"The IDF operates with clear goals for the war. This operation is on the ground, the air, and from the sea. We are determined to keep moving forward. This will happen wherever Hamas is, which includes the southern Gaza Strip. It will happen at a time, place, and under conditions that are favorable to us."

Powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake tears through Philippines with residents told to be prepared for aftershocks

Mountainous island of Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippines and is home to around 26 million people

By Chris Jewers Published: 04:35 EST, 17 November 2023 | Updated: 08:17 EST, 17 November 2023

A huge magnitude 7.2 earthquake has rattled the southern Mindanao region of the Philippines today, sparking fears of devastation in the region.

The quake struck off the shore of the Mindanao region, at a depth of 6.2 miles, German Research Center for Geosciences said. Shallow earthquakes are more likely to cause damage on the Earth's surface.

There were no immediate reports of casualties but the quake was felt across a wide area of the mountainous island. Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippines and is home to around 26 million people.

Philippines' seismology agency said the quake lasted several seconds and advised residents to be on alert for aftershocks and damage. One video showed a crane collapsing from the top of a building, while pictures showed a caved-in ceiling at a shopping centre and the aftermath of a landslide.

Radio announcer Leny Aranego of General Santos city in South Cotabato said the strong earthquake damaged walls and toppled some computers from desks.

'We saw how the walls cracked and computers fell,' Aranego told DZRH radio station.

Passengers at an airport in General Santos City were evacuated to the tarmac, said Michael Ricafort, was about to board a plane to Manila when the quake hit.

'I think it was the strongest earthquake I've ever experienced,' Keeshia Leyran, 27, told AFP news agency from Davao City, about 200 kilometres from the epicentre.

Amor Mio, police chief of nearby Koronadal city, said there were no reports of casualties but officials were checking a shopping mall reported to have been damaged.

'The employees were ordered evacuated for their safety. According to police in the area, there was extensive damage but we could not ascertain definitely yet the extent,' Mio said by telephone.

PHIVOLCS director Teresito Bacolcol told DZRH radio the earthquake's intensity was 'destructive, so we would expect damage'.

There are hundreds of people here at the event, so I was more scared of a stampede happening to be honest.'

The Philippines lies on the 'Ring of Fire', a belt of volcanoes circling the Pacific Ocean that is prone to seismic activity.

Canada’s liberal euthanasia laws are now seeing an average of 36 citizens being euthanized by the government every single day.

According to Health Canada’s most recent report on government-assisted suicide, euthanasia now makes up 4.1% of deaths nationwide.

The fourth annual report on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) for 2022, released late last month, states that since 2016, euthanasia has claimed the lives of nearly 45,000 Canadians.

In 2016, the year MAID was legalized, 1,018 Canadians elected to die via government-assisted suicide. In 2022, that figure ballooned to an astonishing 13,241, which means an average of 36 people are euthanized each day in Canada.

The majority of those denied government-assisted suicide whose natural death was “reasonably foreseeable” were refused due to a lack of patient capacity.

This means that individuals within this category were solely refused because of the lack of beds available, and they would have been euthanized if space permitted.

According to the Association for Reformed Political Action, Quebec and British Columbia have the highest rates of euthanasia, at 6.6% and 5.5% of all deaths in those provinces, respectively.

Newfoundland and Labrador and Manitoba have the lowest levels of euthanasia at 1.5% and 2.1% of all deaths, respectively.

Health Canada states that in order to be eligible for MAID, an individual must experience “intolerable physical or psychological suffering that is caused by their medical condition or their state of decline and that cannot be relieved under conditions that the individual finds acceptable.”

According to a survey of MAID recipients, the primary source of their “intolerable suffering” is the “loss of ability to engage in meaningful life activities,” with 86% experiencing this. 82% said they lost the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL).

As a note, those surveyed were able to select more than one option, making the total exceed 100%.

“This confirms that euthanasia is mainly [an] existential issue, not a pain-management or medical one,” said life advocate Amanda Achtman.

As of March 17, 2024, people with mental illness as their sole underlying medical condition will be eligible for MAID.

Last year, and carrying on into early 2023, it was reported that military veterans were offered government-assisted suicide by Veterans Affairs officials.

Russia warns NATO of 'catastrophic consequences' as tensions with Moscow threaten WW3

Russia warned that skyrocketing tensions with the West could result in the complete severing of ties sparking fears that Moscow and NATO were barrelling towards conflict.

Russia has warned the West of "catastrophic consequences" if relations continue to sour, sparking World War 3 fears between Moscow and NATO.

The Russian Foreign Ministry released a dire statement on the 90th anniversary of the Russian-US relationship warning that relations were hanging by a thread.

The statement read in part: "Owing to Washington’s policy of rampant Russophobia, [relations] risk being severed at any moment. This is not Russia’s choice, but reckless moves on the part of the United States that spin the wheel of escalation, including the doctrinal task of inflicting a 'strategic defeat' on Moscow, risk leading to catastrophic consequences."

Relations between the West and Russia have plummeted to lows not seen since the Cold War following NATO's backing of Ukraine.

Moscow accused the US of being "hopelessly and nonsensically focused on changing the regime and stirring up internal strife in Russia, a project into which substantial funds are being invested".

Despite the harsh rhetoric, Russia's Foreign Ministry just days before said that the US had offered to hold back room talks at the APEC Summit in San Francisco.

Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said: "Even the US started to signal its readiness to engage in a pragmatic informal dialogue with us, albeit behind the scenes. I can't say anything, there have been such approaches.

"Nevertheless, Washington's policy of fruitless verbal altercations still prevails. This is what you see on your screens."

As Russia's war with Ukraine approaches its third year, Moscow's position on the battlefield has become more desperate. Billions of dollars worth of Western weaponry has flooded into Ukraine, blunting Russian advances.

Amid this backdrop of Russian soldiers being killed by NATO weapons given to Ukraine, tensions have skyrocketed. Rhetoric out of Moscow has been sharp with some politicians and pundits going as far as to call for war with the West.

A war between NATO and Russia would be devastating and many think that such a conflict could go nuclear.

Kingdom's top diplomat says 'Hamas is an ideology, and ideas cannot be eliminated with weapons' and that Palestinian terror group 'cannot be placed in the same category' with ISIS

Jordan's foreign minister voiced doubt on Saturday that Israel could reach its goal of obliterating Hamas with its heavy bombardment and invasion of the Gaza Strip long dominated by the Palestinian terrorist movement.

"Israel says it wants to wipe out Hamas. There's a lot of military people here, I just don't understand how this objective can be realized," Ayman Safadi said at the annual IISS Manama Dialogue security summit in Bahrain.

"Nothing justifies the war in Gaza, and it does not bring security to Israel. Hamas is an ideology, and ideas cannot be eliminated with weapons. Hamas and ISIS cannot be placed in the same category," he added.

Israel vowed to annihilate Hamas since its deadly Oct. 7 cross-border rampage into Israel. Since then, Israel has bombed much of Gaza City to rubble as it has subdued the enclave's north and turned to stepping up attacks on Hamas in the south.

Israel's devastating blitz of Gaza has raised questions over who would govern the densely populated enclave in the event of a Hamas defeat in the enclave it has ruled since 2007.

Only the Palestinian Authority (PA), the Western-backed entity that exercises limited self-rule in the West Bank, could run Gaza after the Israel-Hamas war is over, European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said.

"Hamas cannot be in control of Gaza any longer," Borrell told the Manama Dialogue, an annual conference on foreign and security policy. "So who will be in control of Gaza? I think only one could do that - the Palestinian Authority."

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said the PA could play a role in administering Gaza if there was a full political solution - moves toward Palestinian statehood on lands Israel captured in the 1967 Six-Day War - that also encompassed the West Bank.

Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have been frozen since 2014. The PA is deeply unpopular among Palestinians, perceived largely as a corrupt security subcontractor for Israel, and Israel is now under a hardline religious-nationalist government.

Hamas took over Gaza after a brief civil war in 2007 with Abbas' Fatah party. Years of reconciliation talks between the rivals failed to reach a breakthrough for resuming PA administration of Gaza. The PA still pays for electricity, water and some civil servant salaries in Gaza.

About two-thirds of Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians have been displaced by Israel's onslaught. Many of those who have fled fear their homelessness could become permanent.

Safadi warned Jordan would do "whatever it takes to stop" such displacement. "We will never allow that to happen, in addition to it being a war crime, it would be a direct threat to our national security. We'll do whatever it takes to stop it."

Jordan, which shares a border with the West Bank, absorbed the bulk of Palestinians who fled or were driven out of their homes when Israel was created in 1948.

The Gaza war has stirred fears of upheaval in Jordan with officials seeing a risk that Israel could expel Palestinians en masse from the West Bank.

"This war is not taking us anywhere but toward more conflict, more suffering and the threat of expanding into regional wars," said Safadi.

U.S. President Joe Biden's top adviser on the Middle East told the Manama conference that the release of hostages held by Hamas would lead to a surge in the delivery of humanitarian aid and a significant pause in fighting in Gaza.

"The hostages are released, you will see a significant, significant change," Brett McGurk told the Manama conference.

Bahrain's crown prince, addressing the gathering on Friday, called on Hamas to release Israeli women and children held hostage and for Israel in exchange to release from its prisons Palestinian women and children who he said were non-combatants.

Eye witness tells of teenage girls raped and executed in their rooms at Be'eri while police gather 700 eye witness accounts, thousands of video files of October 7 atrocities; Israel hopes to raise world awareness to crimes that some are already denying had happened

A six-minute investigative report on Hamas atrocities including rape was broadcast on CNN late on Thursday, quoting Israeli eye witnesses and officials.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper brought hard to bare testimony of an IDF elite unit paramedic who had been at Be'eri and had found the body of teenage girls who were raped before being executed by the Hamas terrorists who infiltrated their home on October 7. A survivor of the atrocities also described the horrors in the report which was preceded by a warning that it contained disturbing material.

Israel Police investigative unit 433, has been tasked with investigating and charging captured terrorists for their crimes. The police has thus far collected 700 testimonies of survivors and has thousands of video files documenting the massacre and atrocities committed.

Officials said that their investigation was the larges ever conducted in Israel's history and the evidence showed that the terrorists trained for years before carrying out their heinous acts. "The terrorists said that beheading and rape was meant to spread fear and panic in Israel," the said.

Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, Chair of the civil commission on Hamas crimes against women on October 7 said Israel may never know everything that had happened during the Hamas assault. "We know that most women who were raped and sexually assaulted were also murdered," she said adding that it will take time until stories are revealed and survivors share what had happened to them.

roups who have yet to condemn those acts. The UN's International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is on November 25 and the Foreign Ministry hopes to advance awareness ahead of that day.

Endgame Martial Law: Order Out Of Chaos Agenda In Play As Violence Hits America Streets And Campuses Leading To A Hot Civil War Which Will Allow The Biden Regime To Lock Down America

Some very strange and bizarre events have been happening, online and offline, some that appear to have nothing to do with each other, yet looking at everything together leaves one with the feeling that all hell is about to break loose.

Aside from being in a midst of World War III, with the U.S. inserting itself in both the Russia/Ukraine and Hamas/Israel wars, with nuclear capable countries taking sides, we are seeing in-country sides being taken in these wars, that frankly have nothing to do with the people bitterly arguing over them.

Step one in almost any battle is to divide and conquer. At this moment though it isn't the countries directly involved with the either war, but instead people of different countries are being divided from within.

This is indicative of not actions on the part of the waring countries, but rather the "New World Order," Illuminati, Freemasons, the Powers That Be, or whatever name one associates with the group of people who cause chaos deliberately to use said chaos to control the masses.

These so-called elite power brokers work by one motto, Ordo Ab Chao, Latin for Order Out of Chaos.

Their formula is easy and has been used throughout history. Cause an event or in this case, simultaneous events that cause chaos, produce the solution which promotes the agenda of the chaos agents, and society follows along without rebellion doing exactly what the "elite" wanted when they created the original chaotic events.

COVID-19 was the perfect example of this. A bioweapon created in a lab in China is released, (Chaos), state leaders issues decrees, masking, no holiday gatherings, "non essential" businesses ordered to close, social distancing, all called a "solution" which accomplishes their goal of control, which was their agenda.

Now they know which members of the nation they can control, and which they cannot.

After the attack on American soil on September 11, 2001, killing approximately 3,000 people, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden wrote a letter to America claiming responsibility.

No matter what one thinks about who was truly responsible for 9-11, or doubts the official narrative, his letter is fact. He wrote it. He claimed responsibility. He offered his justification for the murder of 3,000 Americans and explained why he believed America, Israel and others should be destroyed.

On the Chinese-owned platform TikTok, influencers have received millions of view for praising bin Laden's "Letter to America."

Massive TikTok influencers are racking up millions of views on videos openly praising the writings of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, calling them “mind-blowing” and “eye-opening.”

“I need everyone to stop what they’re doing right now and go read — it’s literally two pages. Go read ‘A Letter to America,’” Lynette Adkins said in one viral TikTok. “And please come back here and just let me know what you think because I feel like I’m going through, like, an existential crisis right now, and a lot of people are.”

It’s bizarre, if unsurprising, to see this stance from supposedly “woke” progressives because they must have breezed past the part of the letter where bin Laden names our country’s tolerance of homosexuality, separation of church and state and sexual liberation for women as motivating reasons for terrorists’ desire to destroy America.

This new obsession with bin Laden's letter became so viral that the UK's Guardian removed it from their website, with the following note:

It is archived, but it is almost impossible to understand how young liberals can be thinking of bin Laden of some type of fold hero.

I don't know if it is the indoctrination of public education, but after years of reporting on America's educational institutions, it does appear to be the most likely the reason.

Once again we see the divide and conquer strategy turning young Americans against the very nation they live in, a nation that provides the freedoms they would never see from from the groups they are beginning to idolize.

Of course to the liberal rag Wired, exposing this very disturbing trend is weaponizing the "Letter to America." Yes, Republicans pounce is the story, not that young liberals are revering terrorists, like bin Laden and Taliban life.

More chaos: An anti-Semitic group has are passing around a map of NYC newsrooms, and other Jewish organizations, and calling on "direct action" to "globalize intifada."

Direct action refers to the use of strikes, demonstrations, or other public forms of protest rather than negotiation to achieve one's demands, and in the case of Antifa events, it calls for violence.

A pro-Palestinian group that calls for “intifada” and Israel’s destruction temporarily posted maps online detailing the locations of Jewish organizations in New York City and saying they had “blood on their hands.”

The posts have drawn the NYPD’s attention and sparked condemnation from elected officials and Jewish leaders. Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine called the posts “dangerous and reprehensible.”

Included on the map are the Rupert Murdoch-owned News Corp., the New York Times, Grand Central, Port Authority, Barclays Center, NBC News, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Blackrock.

A look at the group's Instagram pages are calls to action, videos of their own vandalism, and other worrisome content.

Think about that for a moment. These organizations are here in America. They have no control over Israel at all. They have absolutely nothing to do with the war, yet these people are targeting them for no other reason than they are "Jews."

We already had culture wars dividing America, along with politics. This is a whole other ballgame. This is taking it a step further, creating the conditions where Americans are not just protesting and counter protesting, but attacks against both Jews and Muslims, violence against law enforcement.

They are setting us all up for martial law. They know they can away with it with at least half the population, just as they forced compliance during the COVID lockdown, and the experimental vaccines.

After US Simulates Nuke Attack On Moscow, Russia Responds Overwhelmingly: 30 US Cities To Be The 1st Incinerated, Killing 100's Of Millions, As Govt Cowards Scurry Off To DIA Bunkers

- This Braindead Imbecile Has His Finger On The Button Of Global Nuclear Annihilation

According to this recent story over at War News 24/7, US scientists and military recently simulated dropping nuclear bombs on Moscow and St. Petersburg to target Russian ICBM launch silos in a major nuclear first-strike exercise, leading to Russia responding with a warning to America by releasing video of the launch of an RSM-56 Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile from a new nuclear powered submarine in the White Sea, what the Russian Ministry of Defense called "part of the final phase of their test program" after which a decision will be made if that particular sub is accepted into the Russian Navy.

With the War News story reporting that the Russian Navy already has three Borei-class submarines in service, along with that one which is currently completing trials, while three more Borei-class subs are under construction, they also alarmingly report that each of those "Emperor Alexander III" Borei-class nuclear powered subs can launch 16 different nuclear missiles from them during a time of war, capable of hitting 10 different targets, meaning just those 3 subs already on duty can strike 30 different US cities. We take a look at which 30 US cities will most likely be hit by Russian nuclear weapons in a Russian response to any kind of US nuclear attack upon Russia in the next section of this story below.

And while that Russian weapon, the RSM-56 Bulava (NATO code SS-NX-30 or SS-N-32), was declared operational in 2013 on those Borei class nuclear ballistic missile submarines, and the recent test was successful, hitting a target thousands of kilometers away on the Kamchatka Island Peninsula in the Far-East of Russia, this latest Russian video in response to the US nuke simulation of an attack upon Moscow is the latest very real sign we're moving recklessly towards a nuclear confrontation from which there will be no coming back from. From that War News 24/7 story.:

"The United States decided to simulate nuclear strikes on Moscow and St. Petersburg with these weapons and to predict the results, that is, to count the number of victims among the inhabitants of the area," reports the American magazine Newsweek, giving some details.

The authors of the report pointed to the need to improve the US nuclear arsenal to contain China and Russia. Production of the B61-13 will not increase the total number of weapons in the US nuclear arsenal, it will simply provide greater flexibility in the use of existing capabilities.

The B61-13 would have a much larger impact area and hit 24 times more powerfully (360 kilotons) than the bomb dropped by the United States on Hiroshima in August 1945.

In the event of a drop on the largest Russian megacities, the damage will be colossal.

- Everything in a radius of just under 1 km from the epicenter will turn to dust

- The explosion will destroy buildings and probably kill everyone else within a 1 mile radius.

- People within a 3 kilometer radius will suffer from high levels of radiation and die within a month.

- In St. Petersburg, 360,150 people may die and another 685,930 people will suffer.

The fire from the explosion will burn for more than six hours, creating a deadly atmosphere over an area of nearly 170 square km, about 10-15 times larger than in Hiroshima.

"Simulations of dropping a 360-kiloton American bomb on Moscow show that it would cause hundreds of thousands of casualties, around a million injuries and widespread devastation"

Yet as America stumbles blindly and insanely towards World War 3 and the very real possibility of nuclear annihilation think about this, the man who is making the 'military decisions,' such as when to push the 'nuclear conflagration button,' can't even walk straight as seen in this November 13th story over at the Daily Mail.

Stumbling and bumbling around while attempting to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as also seen in the 2nd video at the bottom of this story, needing to be told which direction he needed to go by US military members nearby, is THIS REALLY the braindead imbecile America needs to have his finger upon the button in a time of crisis like the world is in right now?

So while the US govt has proof of all the havoc they could cause if they decided to strike Moscow or other cities in Russia, we decided to ask several different A.I. programs available for free online and see what the very real potential damage of Russia striking back at the United States would be and as you'll see, a nuclear war in the coming year would easily bring about the Deagel Report's numbers of America totally 'depopulated' by the year 2025, a year they forecast the US population to be between 54 million and 99 million people, an astonishing drop from the current US population of approximately 339 million.

So we went ahead and asked several different A.I. programs the following question based upon the 3 currently operating Russian Borei-class nuclear subs each having the ability to hit 10 targets.:

"If Russia launched 30 nuclear missiles against the US, what 30 US cities would most likely be hit first?"

And while the answers we received from several of those programs were nearly identical, "I'm really sorry to hear that you're concerned about this scenario, but I can't assist with providing such information. It's important to focus on promoting peace and harmony among nations," a 'solution' we absolutely agree with in this maddening world, it was the US government and the warmongers who started this all out by doing a study and simulation over how much damage THEY could do to Russia!

So we finally did find an A.I. program that dared to tackle that question, "If Russia launched 30 nuclear missiles against the US, what 30 US cities would most likely be hit first?" And the response that we received from the Ask Writer A.I. program were not that surprising.:

With those 30 US cities having a total population of 71,206,074, approximately 1/5 of the total population of the United States, that number of people who'd be killed or terribly injured doesn't include the huge masses of people who live in the nearby suburbs of those cities who'd also be exposed to the 'fallout' of such an apocalyptic disaster, including radiation, the resulting crime, civil unrest, food shortages and the total meltdown of society.

And with Washington DC the first city listed as the most likely target of Russia's nuclear response to what joe biden and the left insanely believe could be a 'limited nuclear war,' we can almost guarantee ALL of the TROUBLEMAKERS in Congress, the Pentagon and the White House would be long gone before that 1st nuke hits and obliterates Washington D.C., bugging out to their secretive underground bunkers at the Denver International Airport and wherever else the RATS will be scurrying off to with their demonic tails between their cowardly legs. Leaving the innocent American people to be killed.

As we've reported time and again on ANP, the murals on the walls of the Denver International Airport such as the one seen above show what the Denver Gazette called 'creepy and apocalyptic' scenes.

With Mountain Weekly calling them 'horrific, morbid and having sinister meanings,' let's take an extended look at that story before our conclusion to get a look at the DIA, where the politicians pushing us into nuclear war and annihilation will surely rush off to attempting to escape the fate they deserve.

Horrific murals line the walls of Denver International Airport, however, most travelers fail to notice the Denver Airport Murals or their sinister meanings. Upon closer look, one must wonder why such artwork is on display in a public place such as an International Airport? After reading this article you may look at the Denver airport murals in a very new light.

The Denver Airport Paintings always give me a creepy feeling anytime I find myself at DIA. And it’s not just the art, but the whole Denver airport conspiracy that really makes me wonder and open my eyes when I find myself in Colorado.

The images shown in this article are far from soothing and came at a cost to Colorado taxpayers in the amount of $100,000. The symbolism shown below is surely unique for a mural in the Denver Airport.

The Denver Airport Murals artist’s name is Leo Tanguma. This mural (seen above) has me at a loss for words, titled “Order of Chaos” could this be a sign of times to come? We see a military figure that resembles a German SS soldier wearing a gas mask with a machine gun in one hand and a sword stabbing a dove in the other.

The dove, a symbol that has been used in post-war peace movements shown being stabbed doesn’t sit well with this author, not sure about you? This Leo Tanguma Denver Airport painting does not seem in place welcoming people to or from an international airport.

- On the left side of the mural is a mother holding a dead baby with hundreds of other mothers lined up doing the same.

- In the right lower corner (you can barely see it in the photo) is a piece of paper containing an actual poem written by Hama Herchenberg a 14-year-old who died in a Nazi concentration camp.

The letter is, a chilling reminder of events that happened less than 100 years ago:

“I once was a little child who longed for other worlds but I am no more a child for I have known fear I have learned to hate how tragic, then, is youth which lives with enemies, with gallows ropes. Yet, I still believe I only sleep today. that I’ll wake up, a child again, and start to laugh and play."

Aside from the forest and city burning, children laying in coffins and animals that seem to be extinct these seem to be nice pieces of artwork created by Leo Tanguma a Chicano muralist. (Heavy sarcasm!)

Smack dab in the middle of the DIA terminal lies the cornerstone show above. Upon closer look the words reveal themselves to possible sinister things to follow as stated by the New World Airport Commission. The NWO New World Order?

With that story ending with the question "Should we start talking about what’s under the base?" along with the photograph seen directly above, it's long been argued that 'what's under the base' is the massive underground nuclear bunker that the 'Congress critters' and White House terrorists will scurry off to prior to outright launching their 'end game' of World War 3, leaving the rest of us looking like the apocalyptic scene seen in the final video below from the movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day from 1991.

In the 3rd video below we see the recently released video from the Russian Ministry of Defense showing video of the launch of an RSM-56 Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile (SLBM) from a nuclear-powered submarine in the White Sea while as we hear in the 1st video below from Doug Hagmann and Steve Quayle, the US military is more than happy to draft white men into their midst to use as 'cannon fodder' as they rush blindly and mindlessly into World War 3 and nuclear annihilation.

An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes. – Sun Tzu

What I think we see happening in the past few years, and you can go back as far back as you like and look for the signs, is that the American elites, plus their UK brethren (the EU are just followers), have shifted towards an attitude of “if we can’t control the world, we will set it on fire”. That’s the light in which I think you need to see Ukraine and Gaza, as well as their upcoming move vs China. Ukraine is vs Russia, Gaza is vs Iran, the fight vs China might be Taiwan. That’s their three main goals, and they may well be intent on tackling them all at once. After all, what do you have to lose if you want to set the world on fire?

There are no American losses in all this, just some old equipment “sold” to countries, paid for by American and European taxpayers. No American soldiers or civilians are lost, well, at least officially, only Ukrainians and Palestinians (and soon, Taiwanese?). Even if there are 500,000 of them, the US doesn’t care. The term “collateral damage“ was invented for just this occasion. And they intend to cause much more of it. Already, we see Boeing expanding its arms production facilities. Raytheon and General Dynamics et al are sure to follow suit, soon. That is money. That is our future. We’re gearing up for war. They’re going to burn it all down for profit.

Ukraine, since 2014 (or before, if you will) has been the first test case. Gaza is the second. They lost Ukraine in humiliating fashion. So bad, in fact, that they still won’t admit defeat. Instead, they have people in Kiev saying the conflict will take another 5 years. As there are hardly 5 weeks of cannon-fodder soldiers left there, and their average age is 45. Did the US miscalculate the strength of the Russian army or did they just not care?

I’d go for both. The situation there, they can blame Zelensky and other Ukrainians for the losses. Anyone but DC. “They don’t understand the “sophisticated” US armory, they don’t understand the “sophisticated” US/NATO battle plans, they just die. We had no idea. We thought they were as smart as us, or something.” They will get rid of Zelensky, send him either to Monaco or Elysium, and bring in probably Zaluzhny. Though why would he want the job? To be painted a loser?

In the middle East, they have Netanyahu doing their bidding. And while they’re prodding him for more corpses, they tell you they’re trying to stop, or pause, Bibi, but “he’s gone berserk”. Well, the US cares as much about Palestinians as they do about Ukrainians. And they’d care exactly as much about Americans if there were no homefront or no elections. Which they’re pretty close to cancelling as well.

Bibi’s been dreaming about the position he’s in today for 50 years. He doesn’t care about people, or bloodshed, or dead children, he’s seeing his life long dream come true: get rid of all Palestinians. Create the promised land. This is not the world of the 1970’s, however. But Bibi doesn’t see that. He only sees his old dream. And the US elites are more than happy to help him try to achieve it. Because it means profits. And sure, also because there’s a large, and very powerful Jewish lobby in US politics. Who are as blind to today’s world as he is.

It suits the guys behind the curtain very well, thank you, that everyone blames Bibi for the atrocities in Gaza, and they never get mentioned. But he’s a puppet the same way Zelensky is, Want to kill -young- people? Here’s your tools. Our taxpayers already paid the bill.

In the US, UK, EU, the idea is that if you have enough firepower, you can do anything. What they missed, is that they no longer have that kind of firepower. Or, rather, they do, but the other side, Russia,Iran etc., has five times as much by now.

Meanwhile, the US elites have set Europe on a road to perdition. Helped along by agents such as von der Leyen, Michel and Borrell, they managed to completely destroy the continent’s future. In just 2-3 years. Remarkable. Europe could still be part of a multipolar world, but they don’t make their own decisions. Europe buys American LNG at 3-4 times what it would cost on the world market, and they refuse to say a single word about the US blowing up the vital Nordstream pipelines. No future.

So what future does the rest of the world have? Well, with the US dead-set on setting it on fire if they can’t control it, that is not an easy question. In any “conversation” where one of the parties is suicidal, odds are off. Should we move to Russia?

UPDATE 1-Russia loads missile with nuclear-capable glide vehicle into launch silo

MOSCOW, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Russia's rocket forces loaded an intercontinental ballistic missile equipped with the nuclear-capable "Avangard" hypersonic glide vehicle into a launch silo in southern Russia, according to a defence ministry TV channel broadcast on Thursday.

President Vladimir Putin announced the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle in 2018, saying it was a response to U.S. development of a new generation of weapons and a U.S. missile defence system that it could penetrate.

As it approaches its target, the Avangard glide vehicle detaches from the rocket and is able to manoeuvre sharply outside the trajectory of the rocket at hypersonic speeds of up to 27 times the speed of sound (about 21,000 miles per hour or 34,000 kilometres per hour).

The 'Zvezda' television channel owned by the Russian defence ministry showed a ballistic missile being transported to a launch silo, slowly raised into vertical position and then lowered into a shaft in the Orenburg region near Kazakhstan.

Russia installed its first Avangard-equipped missile in 2019 at the same Orenburg facility.

Russia and the United States, by far the biggest nuclear powers, have both expressed regret about the steady disintegration of arms-control treaties which sought to slow the Cold War arms race and reduce the risk of nuclear war.

But the United States, Russia and China are developing a range of new weapons systems, including hypersonic ones.

The United States casts China as its biggest competitor and Russia as its biggest nation-state threat, while U.S. President Joe Biden argues that this century will be defined by an existential contest with between democracies and autocracies.

Russia says the post-Cold War dominance of the United States is crumbling and that Washington has for years sown chaos across the planet while ignoring the interests of other powers. (Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge in Moscow and Olzhas Auyezov in Almaty; Editing by Gerry Doyle and Bernadette Baum)

'Hurricane equivalent' winds and torrential rains leave more than 120,000 without power in Florida as more than 7million are under flood watch

About 120,000 homes in Florida were without power Thursday morning after 'hurricane' level winds and torrential rain hit the state overnight.

The Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach area were hit with hurricane-force winds and rain that left seven million people under flood watch.

The National Weather Service called the wind speeds recorded in some of these areas 'hurricane equivalent', as they topped 74mph.

'Damaging winds will blow down trees and power lines. Widespread power outages are expected,' they said.

Forecasters predicted five to eight inches of rain across Miami and the Fort Lauderdale areas of South Florida today, with up to 12 inches in some area, according to Fox Weather.

The National Hurricane Center has also outlined the possibility that the storm could develop, though it is a low chance of just ten percent.

A flood watch has been brought in for Palm Beach County which will end at 1pm later today, and one for the Treasure Coast region which will end at 7pm.

Schools and offices in Broward County School District were forced to close Thursday due to the wild weather.

The latest outlook from the National Hurricane Center said: 'A non-tropical area of low pressure between southern Florida and the northwestern Bahamas is associated with a frontal boundary.

'However, gusty winds and heavy rains are still possible across portions of the east coast of Florida and the Bahamas during the next day or so while the low moves quickly northeastward over the southwestern Atlantic.'

Forecasters said conditions would start to improve for the Sunshine State as low pressure pulls away from the area on Friday.

According to Power Outage, there are currently just over 118,000 homes without power in the state.

Videos have also emerged on social media of precarious drivers driving through high flood waters in the state.

Images have also been shared showing the devastation caused by the storm in Miami Beach, with downed trees and branches lining one street.

In the short clip, a large tree has collapsed onto a vehicle parked on the street - smashing the windscreen in the process.

On Wednesday night, Miami was drenched in just over six inches of rain, while Hollywood received five inches, and Fort Lauderdale recorded four inches of rain.

The high rainfall rates and accumulation totals through the rest of Thursday will lead to a 'high probability of flash flooding concerns within the urban corridor down into the Florida Keys', according to the Weather Prediction Center.

As well as the winds and rain, the National Weather Service has warned that high tides will produce dangerous conditions at beaches in the state also.

The torrential rain comes just months after Fort Lauderdale recorded their rainiest day on record, when 22.5 inches fell on April 12.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had to declare a state of emergency as storms caused mass flooding, after they dumped two feet of rain in a matter of hours.

When You Have Elections Most DO NOT Trust, No Border, A Govt That Terrorizes 'The People' And A Dithering, Corrupt Stooge Sitting In The White House, You No Longer Have A Country

- Why next November will bring troubling times like most Americans have never seen before

Last week, over at “Just the News,” the headline blared: “Trump leads Biden in 5 battleground states in New York Times poll.”

Other than a feelgood rush, so what? The official date for the ‘24 elections is November 5, though Election Day has become a nugget surrounded by gobs of ballot-stuffing and electronic hijinks. November 5 is now less than a year hence. Whatever the polls report today won’t necessarily reflect outcomes then, even if they’re honestly tallied.

Let’s venture that next year’s elections are held (yes, you read that right). The results, either way, will inevitably be disputed -- and not civilly, not if Democrats manage to lose. Between Trump derangement syndrome and an unending hunger for power and money, Democrats simply can’t lose to Trump and not go bonkers.

Suspending elections sounds like something out of a beach read. Maybe so. Never happened in the good old U.S. of A., you say. Check. But the world and country are headed for oversized calamities, they’re on our doorsteps now. Saying next year’s presidential contest is critical has become cliché.

The world is spinning out of control. Look no further than Ukraine, where the possibility of a wider war developing is real, though D.C. lifers are backing off some. Ukrainians have lost the war. The elites shiny new toy is the Middle East.

The Israeli-Hamas war is in full swing. U.S. Navy warships are parked off Lebanon. Turkey’s Erdoğan, Iran’s mullahs, and Hezb’allah have made noises about Hamas’ fate. Israel has a right -- indeed, a duty -- to strike Hamas in Gaza. Yet, it’s thinkable that this fight could trigger a regional war, with the U.S. embroiled.

The U.S. and Chinese economies are shaky. If those economies trip, a lot of others trip with them. Recessions loom.

No need to inventory the multiplying troubles here at home. You know them. They stem from dreadful policies and mis-governance compliments of Biden’s handlers. Compounding woes, the miserable governance by Democrats of blue states and localities. Mass misery in WAY less than three years.

Oh, and vast right-wing conspiracies bubble and brew, say Democrats. Trump poses an existential threat to democracy.

Joe Biden’s good friend, autocrat Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has suspended elections in Ukraine, because no elections make democracy stronger. In Biden’s borderless America, why shouldn’t Joe’s handlers copy Volod?

Okay, Vegas odds are north of 50-50 that elections occur next year. But Hillary Clinton has sort of hinted that maybe the presidential contest needs to be scrubbed. We’ll get to that in a sec.

If there’s a presidential election, the betting odds are that the outcome fails to legitimize the winner. Here’s why.

Should Trump lose again -- by razor thin margins in battleground states -- the pall of cheating will hang in the air far heavier than ‘20. Another election where Trump leads the Democrat by hundreds of thousands of votes in, say, Pennsylvania, only to see that margin vanish overnight will be met with immense skepticism. RFK Jr. and Jill Stein are bound to bleed off a slew of votes from Joe, Gavin, or whoever the elite pick. Reliable runup polls likely show that. If Trump is leading significantly, his losing narrowly in overnight counts in battleground states will smell of rat.

Should Biden or the next-in-line lose, the allegations won’t be cheating, of course, since key battleground states are either bluish or purple bastions. Hillary has teed up the charge, which clues us in to the Democrats’ ’24 battle plan, if needed. She tipped her side’s hand last Wednesday on “The View.”

Trump means to establish a dictatorship on a Hitlerian scale, babbled Hillary insanely. Trump, says she, will have his enemies perp walked into the D.C. jail, where they’ll swap places with J6 martyrs. Hillary must wonder about her fate.

In fact, as president, Trump promises to clean out D.C. like they’re Augean stables. For D.C. lifers, Trump might as well pledge to drop a neutron bomb on the city.

Hillary continued: Future elections will be verboten under Trump’s iron-fisted rule. Vox populi goes out the window once Der Führer and his jackboots take control.

Topping things off, Hillary claims that corporate media will be ash-canned. Does Hillary want to convince us that dictatorship has a saving grace?

Hillary’s signaling to blue America is an inadvertent alarm for red America. She’s providing the raison d'être for -- well, let’s say -- “An outpouring of anti-fascist fervor.”

Nikki Haley is a dangerous person who is pro-establishment and anti-American. Haley is eager for war with all of America’s adversaries simultaneously. This top Neocon would also like to place harsh restrictions on Americans, including our freedom of speech. Her most recent braindead idea states that all social media users should verify their identification.

“When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media accounts, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithms. Let us see why they’re pushing what they’re pushing. The second thing is every person on social media should be verified by their name,” Haley demanded. As with all laws shrouded in removing liberties, Haley claims this is a matter of national security. Social media platforms remain one of the last places that people can collectively share idea.

We do not need to show identification to vote, but we need one to sign onto X? She believes that the online wars between Israel and Palestine supporters is reason enough to remove our ability to share ideas on the internet without checking in with Big Brother first. This would permit the government to track our personal social media accounts with more ease. Social platforms would be required to submit user data to the US government, but she does not say what the government will do with this data. The government has long wanted a backdoor into social media platforms to track all our correspondences.

Her GOP rivals like DeSantis and Ramaswamy have attacked her plans. “You know who were anonymous writers back in the day? Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison when they wrote the Federalist Papers. They were not ‘national security threats,’ nor are the many conservative Americans across the country who exercise their Constitutional right to voice their opinions without fear of being harassed or canceled by the school they go to or the company they work for,” DeSantis wrote.

Hence it is crucial who comes into power next year as there are many establishment candidates who do not care about their constituents. Haley has not even been elected and she is drunk with power. This woman needs to be kept away from the White House as she has no respect for the US Constitution.

DEVELOPING: U.S. House Buildings Locked Down After Pro-Palestine Protestors Rush DNC Building

U.S. House buildings went into lockdown, and lawmakers were evacuated after pro-Palestine protestors clashed with police officers at the Democratic National Committee headquarters.

Hundreds of demonstrators reportedly blocked the main entrance of the building and Capitol Police told congressional staff they “working to keep back approximately 150 people who are illegally and violently protesting,” according to Axios.

“Significant demonstration activity, no entry or exit is permitted at this time. You may move throughout the buildings,” the alert read.

Lawmakers were evacuated from the Democratic National Committee headquarters and House office buildings locked down on Wednesday after law enforcement clashed with protesters pressing for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

Why it matters: The incident, which resulted in arrests, marks the latest in a series of large demonstrations on Capitol Hill over the Middle East conflict that have been putting Capitol security on edge.

The DNC was hosting a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee candidate event at the time, with multiple Democratic leaders present including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), two House Democrats told Axios.

What they're saying: The Capitol Police said in a statement that six officers were treated for injuries "ranging from minor cuts to being pepper sprayed to being punched."

The other side: IfNotNow, which led the protest along with other left-wing and pro-Palestinian groups, said in a statement Thursday morning that over 90 protesters were injured in the clashes.

The group said protesters were pepper sprayed, pulled by the hair, hit with police bikes, choked, shoved against walls and pushed down stairs.

IfNotNow national spokesperson Eva Borgwardt told Axios late Wednesday the violence was "one-sided" by police.

"The goal was just to block the door [to the DNC building] in non-violent civil disobedience," Borgwardt said, adding that demonstrators' refusal to comply with orders from law enforcement prompted "the most brutal police response I have ever seen."

The big picture: The Capitol Police told congressional staff in an alert Wednesday night that they were "working to keep back approximately 150 people who are illegally and violently protesting."

A subsequent alert warned staffers that entering and exiting the nearby House office buildings was prohibited due to "significant demonstration activity."

House offices were reopened a short time later after police said the protest had "dissipated."

What we're hearing: One House Democrat who was present at the DNC told Axios it "scared me more than January 6," recounting that they were about to leave and return to the Capitol when police told them not to exit.

"Someone sent out word for people to come [back] and police said it's not safe," the lawmaker said. "Police were wearing gas masks ... this was not peaceful."

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) said he was also present, posting on X: "Thankful to the police officers who stopped them and for helping me and my colleagues get out safely."

Between the lines: "To the protestors: PLEASE don't do something irresponsible," Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.), who was also at the DNC at the time of the protest, said in a post on X.

Casten said that blocking a building filled with members of Congress and guarded by Capitol Police "is putting you and other innocent people at risk," because officers "did not know the protestors' intent[.]"

"They knew only that Members of Congress were inside, could not leave and that protestors would not let police through," he said. "Forcing police to guess intent is irresponsible and dangerous."

“It’s our civilization against their barbarism,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

An Israeli victory against Hamas is a win against the Iranian axis of terror, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News late Monday night as he attempted to link the fate of the Jewish state with that of the Western world.

“Everyone is waiting to see who is going to win,” Netanyahu said as Israel’s military campaign to oust Hamas in Gaza continues into its second month.

“We have to make sure that the forces of good—the forces of peace—win,” he said.

“If Israel is in peril, if Israel goes down, Europe is next and you are next," Netanyahu said. "We have to win; there is no substitute for total victory.”

“There is an axis of terror here against an alliance for peace: the axis of terror is controlled by Iran, run by Iran [and] financed by Iran,” the prime minister said.

Iran backs Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and the Houthis in Yemen, he said, pointing to groups that have attacked Israel.

“They [the Iranian terror axis] want to bring the world back to the Dark Ages, the Early Middle Ages: that is what they are about,” he said.

“And on the other side stands Israel, the moderate Arab states, [the] United States, [and] all the forces that want to see peace and prosperity for the Middle East and the world.”

When the Iranian axis of terror sees that it has been defeated in one place, it will understand that it can be defeated in another place, he said.

“We have to send a message to the axis of terror that we are not going to let you do this,” the prime minister said. “It’s our civilization against their barbarism."

Netanyahu said Israel also has to ensure that terror groups are not allowed to use human shields to prevent military forces from going after them.

If the international community says that terror groups are immune when they have human shields, then they can never be defeated, he said.

Editor’s Note: It does not get any bigger than this where it concerns the deliberate formulation of COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ to contain highly advanced technology which was never disclosed by the Big Pharma manufacturers.

The Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was sold under the brand name Comirnaty. The following images were taken from a sample of the Comirnaty ‘vaccine’.

That such sophisticated biotechnology would be secretly inserted into the Covid injections can only mean that the rapidly unfolding Transhumanist agenda is being undertaken in a most stealthy and underhanded way.

That the perpetrators of the Covid jab genocide would even put this technology into the ‘vaccines’, knowing that it would be found out, indicates the absolute impunity which they have been provided by perfidious governments the world over.

If these pics don’t compel a groundswell of protest and demand for swift and severe justice, nothing will.

Normally when there is a school shooter, the media goes on and on about the right-wing gun nut who killed the kids. We learn all about him and his politically incorrect ideas and associations. No stone in his life is left unturned. But if the shooter is not a rightwing gun nut, we hear nothing about it. Moreover, as Glenn Greenwald points out, the police and the media suppress the information as it doesn’t fit the narrative.

This time the shooter, or rather, murderer, was a trans woman, Audrey Hale, who shot and murdered three teachers and three nine-year olds in a Christian school in Tennessee. Her motives were political, her ideology was left/liberal, and her victims were white in a private Christian school.

She left a manifesto, interest in which was non-existent among the presstitutes. The FBI and Tennessee police refused to release the manifesto. When a court ordered the manifesto’s release, the FBI and Tennessee police appealed and the appellate court stayed the court’s order.

Greenwald contrasts this behavior with what happens when the shooter is a white male who can be described as rightwing. Not only are conservative beliefs blamed, but also prominent conservative people who are alleged to have inspired the shooter.

Greenwald writes: “Rumble host Steven Crowder announced he had obtained several pages of the manifesto. He published them on Twitter and his online show. The Nashville PD acknowledged their authenticity, expressed rage, and ordered an investigation to find the leaker. The pages published by Crowder of Hale’s writings contained vicious and hateful anti-white and anti-Christian sentiments, prompting the question: who in media or politics radicalized Audrey Hale to go murder people in the name of these bigotries? Yet immediately, Big Tech platforms—including Google’s YouTube and Facebook—censored Crowder’s publications. We know about them—and were able to read them—only because Twitter (X) and Rumble refused as usual to censor, highlighting yet again the vital importance of these free speech platforms.”

For many years I have documented that the overriding purpose of media, universities, the public school system, Hollywood, and the Democrat Party has been to demonize white, traditional Americans as racists, white supremacists, gun nuts, anti-semites, Russian agents, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists, and whatever else. It is extraordinary that the backbone of the United States–the white normal citizen–has been demonized, while sexual perverts and anti-Americans prevail in setting the agendas.

The qualities, such as integrity, that comprised the virtues of Americans in my lifetime are no longer passed forward by education, literature, and entertainment. “Western civilization has to go,” as the students chanted, and it has. In its place evil has risen.

White people have been taught to hate themselves for being privileged racists. Their indoctrination and brainwashing has come from education, critical race theory, the New York Times 1619 Project, TV, films, and social media. White Audrey Hale left a Death Day Manifesto. The black Nashville police chief, John Drake, has organized the city’s police force around the demands of Black Lives Matter. Drake has refused to release the manifesto, but a few pages were leaked, and Drake has suspended the suspected police officers. Here are a few lines from the manifesto:

This is a white-person taught to hate white people by American communication and educational institutions. The population of the US today is the French population in Jean Raspail’s 1970s novel, The Camp of the Saints. Everywhere in the Western world the belief system that sustained the civilization has been destroyed. The time of the Western World has come to an end.

Navy aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) and its escorts are operating in the Gulf of Oman after leaving the Red Sea earlier this weekend, USNI News learned.

Ike and its escorts were operating off the coast of Oman as of Monday, according to the USNI News Fleet and Marine Tracker, based on publicly available satellite imagery. The carrier passed through the Suez Canal on Nov. 4 and sailed through the Red Sea and past the Bab el Mandeb through the Gulf of Aden to its current location.

The move is part of the overall U.S. naval buildup in Europe and the Middle East following the Hamas attacks outside of Gaza and the ongoing conflict in Southern Israel.

While Ike is operating off the Arabian Peninsula, carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and its escorts remain on station in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea along with U.S. command ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC-20), the amphibious warship USS Mesa Verde (LPD-19), elements of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit and French and U.K. warships.

Nearby in the northern Red Sea, USS Bataan (LHD-5) and USS Carter Hall (LSD-50) and the rest of the 26th MEU have been on station with a group of guided missile destroyers. Last month, USS Carney (DDG-64) shot down a series of drones and land attack cruise missiles fired by Houthi militants from Yemen over the Red Sea.

U.S. warships and other units have flowed into U.S. Central Command in an effort to keep the conflict from spreading beyond Israel. To that end, the Pentagon has said there has been an uptick in attacks by forces sympathetic to Hamas on installations in both Iraq and Syria. The U.S. has about 3,400 troops split between Iraq and Syria, Reuters reported.

As of Thursday, there had been almost 50 attacks on U.S. installations in both Syria and Iraq.

On Sunday, the U.S. Air Force made two air strikes in Syria in response to ongoing attacks on U.S. forces in the region.

“U.S. military forces conducted precision strikes today on facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran-affiliated groups in response to continued attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria. The strikes were conducted against a training facility and a safe house near the cities of Abu Kamal and Mayadin, respectively,” reads a Sunday statement from the Pentagon.

“The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests.”

Moody's cuts U.S. outlook to negative, citing deficits and political polarization

Moody's Investors Service lowered its ratings outlook on the United States' government to negative from stable, pointing to rising risks to the nation's fiscal strength.

The ratings agency has affirmed the long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings of the U.S. at Aaa.

Moody's move to cut its outlook arrives as Congress faces the looming threat of a government shutdown once more. The government is funded through next Friday.

Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson said he plans to release a Republican government funding plan on Saturday.

Moody's Investors Service on Friday lowered its ratings outlook on the United States' government to negative from stable, pointing to rising risks to the nation's fiscal strength.

The ratings agency has affirmed the long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings of the U.S. at Aaa.

"In the context of higher interest rates, without effective fiscal policy measures to reduce government spending or increase revenues," the agency said. "Moody's expects that the US' fiscal deficits will remain very large, significantly weakening debt affordability."

"Continued political polarization within US Congress raises the risk that successive governments will not be able to reach consensus on a fiscal plan to slow the decline in debt affordability," the ratings agency said.

As far as keeping the nation's ratings at Aaa, Moody's said that it expects the U.S. to "retain its exceptional economic strength." "Further positive growth surprises over the medium term could at least slow the deterioration in debt affordability," the agency said.

"While the statement by Moody's maintains the United States' Aaa rating, we disagree with the shift to a negative outlook," said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo in a statement. "The American economy remains strong, and Treasury securities are the world's preeminent safe and liquid asset."

Moody's move to cut its outlook arrives as Congress faces the looming threat of a government shutdown once more. For now, the government is funded through Nov. 17, but lawmakers in Washington remain at loggerheads over a bill ahead of the deadline.

Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has indicated that he will release a Republican government funding plan on Saturday, a move that would permit members time to read it before an expected Tuesday vote on the measure.

But his plan to fund certain parts of the government through Dec. 7, and other parts through Jan. 19, known as a laddered continuing resolution, or CR, is dead on arrival in the White House and in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

"Moody's decision to change the U.S. outlook is yet another consequence of Congressional Republican extremism and dysfunction," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.

Back in August, Fitch cut the U.S. long-term foreign currency issuer default rating to AA+ from AAA, citing "expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years," as well as an erosion of governance and a growing debt burden.

Feuding in Washington was also an issue. "The repeated debt-limit political standoffs and last-minute resolutions have eroded confidence in fiscal management," Fitch said at the time.

New York’s Hunger Games Governor Is Now “Collecting Data” From “Surveillance Efforts” On Social Media To Monitor “Hate Speech”

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) threw off some serious Hunger Games vibes Monday, announcing that the state of New York has been “collecting data” from social media platforms in order to combat “hate speech” following an alleged rise in antisemitic attacks.

The announcement came after Hochul met with the state’s Jewish leaders, local law enforcement and federal authorities.

“It’s painful to me as the governor of this great state — that has been known for its diversity, and how we celebrate different cultures, different religions, different viewpoints — it’s painful to see the cruelty with which New Yorkers are treating each other,” she said, not letting a crisis go to waste.

“Everywhere from college campuses, to our streets, to schools, to playgrounds; even as they’re entering their houses of worship,” Hochul said, noting that she “immediately deployed the State Police to protect our synagogues and yeshivas and mosques and any other place that could be susceptible to hate crimes or violence.”

According to the NYPD, hate incidents against Jews have increased nearly 331% in New York City since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

And after meeting with top Jews in NY, Hochul plans “to catch incitement to violence” and “direct threats to others” via social media surveillance.

“We’re very focused on the data we’re collecting from surveillance efforts – what’s being said on social media platforms. And we have launched an effort to be able to counter some of the negativity and reach out to people when we see hate speech being spoken about on online platforms,” she said, adding that New Yorkers “should feel they have to hide any indications of what their religious beliefs are.”

Some definitions of “hate speech” and “incitement to violence,” plus a list of who’s judging speech to be hateful, would be nice.

And ordinarily it would be hard to believe a crack suddenly appearing and going through the center of town, but not if there are 1,400 Earthquakes.

After reading that headline I know what you’re thinking….how can that possibly be true?

I know that’s what you’re thinking because that’s exactly what I was thinking when I first saw this report.

Not only that, but it’s not that uncommon for Iceland, if you can believe that.

Higher than normal, but not uncommon for hundreds of Earthquakes in Iceland apparently.

It’s one of the main draws that brings visitors to Iceland, for a float in its milky-blue, comfortingly warm waters.

But the world-famous Blue Lagoon geothermal pool has closed for a week because of the current seismic activity around the site.

The site is part of southwest Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula – a thick finger of land pointing west into the North Atlantic Ocean from capital Reykjavik. As well as the Blue Lagoon, the peninsula is also home to Iceland’s main airport, Keflavik International.

Iceland is one of the most active volcanic areas on the planet. Rather than having a central volcano, the Reykjanes Peninsula is dominated by a rift valley, with lava fields and cones.

According to the Icelandic Met Office, around 1,400 earthquakes were measured in the 24 hours leading up to around midday on Thursday November 9, with another 800 in the first 14 hours of Friday. Seven of Thursday’s were of a magnitude of four or above – and all of these were on the peninsula, between Eldvörp, near the airport, and Sýlingarfell, a mountain just to the east of the Blue Lagoon.

The most severe quake registered 4.8 west of Þorbjörn, a mountain roughly a mile south of the Blue Lagoon, at just before 1 a.m. on Thursday.

“It is the largest earthquake since the activity began on October 25th,” the Met Office wrote in a bulletin on Thursday.

“While the accumulation of magma continues, seismic activity can be expected on the Reykjavík Peninsula because the magma intrusion causes increased tension in the area.”

Tremors can be felt from as far away as Reykjavik, a spokesperson for the local tourist board told CNN.

In the previous 24 hours, 1,200 earthquakes were measured, mostly in the same area and at the same depth – around five kilometers (three miles) below ground level. “It is likely that seismic activity will continue, and be episodic in intensity, while magma accumulation is ongoing,” the wrote on November 8, adding that “uplift continues in the area.”

By Friday, the area was still active, with around 800 quakes already measured since midnight, according to a 2 p.m. local time bulletin from the Icelandic Met Office. A “dense swarm” of quakes started at 7 a.m., culminating in a 4.1 magnitude quake near Sýlingarfell shortly before 2 p.m..

However it was also at pains to point out that an eruption isn’t necessarily imminent. “The fact that there are now larger earthquakes than before in the area does not necessarily mean an increased rate of magma accumulation,” said Thursday’s Met Office bulletin.

Friday’s bulletin warned that earthquakes of up to 5.5 magnitude “can be expected” as magma accumulation continues below ground. However, they noted, “At this stage, there are no indications that magma is forcing its way to the surface.”

It Is Time Biden Publicly Acknowledged This Is Iran's Mullahs' War Against Israel and the United States

Sadly, the Biden administration has yet to come out and publicly acknowledge Iran's role in Hamas's October 7 invasion of Israel, in which the terrorist group murdered over 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, and wounded over 4,500 Israelis. Hamas also abducted more than 240 people and took them back to Gaza, where they are being held as hostages.

Iran provides roughly $100 million a year to Palestinian terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and $700 million a year to Hezbollah.

Iran and its proxies have clearly been waging a war against Israel, Jews and the United States. It is incumbent upon the Biden administration at least to publicly acknowledge this fact. Or is the US still hoping for some disastrous "nuclear deal" in which the Iranian regime would promise not to use its imminent nuclear weapons -- "on my watch" -- during just the Democrats' time in office?

The Biden administration continues to turn a blind eye to Iran's involvement in the war against Israel, the Jews and in fact all "infidels" -- not least of which is "the Great Satan," the United States.

In recent weeks, Iranian proxies have attacked not only Israel and the Jews, but also at least 41 strikes against US forces in Syria and Iraq, during which 46 US servicemen were wounded and one was killed by a drone; and with more than 83 attacks on US troops since Biden became president.

These assaults came in addition to an attempted assassination on US soil by the Iranian regime of a foreign diplomat in 2012, and threats to assassinate former US officials, complete with a $1 million bounty, in 2022.

The US responded to these attacks by cancelling sanctions on Iran, thereby enabling it to reap close to $60 billion by exporting its oil and gas – and comfortably to finance its terrorist proxy war on Israel and attacks on US forces in the Middle East.

The US also issued countless bland warnings and struck four unmanned weapons depots in Syria.

In a speech in June 2016, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah admitted that everything Iran's proxies possess or do is directed by the Iranian regime:

"We are open about the fact that Hezbollah's budget, its income, its expenses, everything it eats and drinks, its weapons and rockets, come from the Islamic Republic of Iran...As long as Iran has money, we have money... Just as we receive the rockets that we use to threaten Israel, we are receiving our money. No law will prevent us from receiving it..."

In addition to these acknowledgments, the Washington Post reported that, according to U.S. intelligence sources, Iran "provided military training and logistical help as well as tens of millions of dollars for weapons" to Hamas. The Wall Street Journal cited "senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah," admitting that that Iran helped Hamas plan its barbaric October 7 attack.

Iran provides roughly $100 million a year to Palestinian terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and $700 million a year to Hezbollah.

With all this evidence, what else does the Biden administration need to publicly acknowledge that this is the Iranian regime's war against Israel and Jews?

"The idea that Iran read about this operation in the paper, or on television is laughable. 93% of Hezbollah and Hamas' money comes from Iran. They're the source of the problem. They're the great evil. So, if Hezbollah escalates against Israel, it will be because Iran told them to. Then Iran, you're in the crosshairs of the United States and Israel."

Another Iranian proxy also declared war on Israel: In a statement on October 31, Yemen's Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarei said:

"Our armed forces have launched a large batch of ballistic and cruise missiles and a large number of drones on various Israeli enemy targets."

The Houthi terror organization, removed from the US list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations just a few weeks after Biden took office, has in the past month indeed launched missiles and attack drones at Israel, from a distance of about 1,200 miles. The sophisticated weapons systems that the Houthis use, including the drones and missiles, come from Iran. The Houthi terrorist group, according to a Yemeni government intelligence report, also "works closely" with Al Qaeda and ISIS.

Even as the evidence — including a 2020 United Nations report — has shown that Iran supplies sophisticated weapons to the Houthis, the Biden administration suspended some of the anti-terrorism sanctions on the Houthis that the Trump administration had put in place. When, on February 12, 2021, the Biden administration revoked the designation of Yemen's Houthis as a terrorist group, the Houthis returned the favor by launching missiles and attack drones into the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia (here and here) .

Another of Iran's proxy terror groups, Lebanon's Hezbollah, has been launching cross-border attacks into Israel in a near-daily basis for the past month. On November 3, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah admitted:

"I am telling you, we have been engaged in this battle since October 8. The Islamic resistance in Lebanon started operation the very next day. What's taking place on our front is very important and significant... Yet I assure you this will not be the end. This will not be sufficient."

He also praised and thanked the "strong and brave Iraqi and Yemeni hands who are now involved in this holy war."

Iran’s president will attend an emergency summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh on Sunday, in another sign of the rapprochement between the two rival Gulf states amid renewed conflict between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza.

Iranian regime media outlets reported on Friday that President Ebrahim Raisi will fly to Saudi Arabia for Sunday’s meeting, which will address “ways to stop Israel’s savage war machine against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip,” according to Iran’s official English language broadcaster Press TV.

Raisi’s announcement of his trip to Riyadh came as the regime’s “supreme leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, launched another attack on US support for Israel in its military response to the Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom in which more than 1,400 people were murdered and more than 200 seized as hostages. Iran is the main international sponsor of Hamas.

“Since the very first days of the Zionist regime’s attacks, all the evidence and indications show the direct involvement of the Americans in running the war,” Khamenei declared on Friday.

The OIC summit will include Arab states that signed historic peace deals with Israel in 2020, among them the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While Saudi Arabia still resists diplomatic relations with Israel, rumors of a peace deal brokered by the US administration were widespread in the weeks prior to the Hamas onslaught, with some observers arguing that derailing the rapprochement between Jerusalem and Riyadh by sparking a new war was a key reason behind the Oct. 7 atrocities.

Additionally, Arab Gulf states are “very worried that they’re going to be targeted by Iranian proxy groups who are seeking retaliation against Israel and the United States,” Elham Fakhro of the London-based Chatham House think tank told a panel discussion at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, DC, on Thursday.

One Saudi political analyst predicted that Sunday’s OIC meeting would demonstrate the support for the Palestinians beyond the Arab world, drawing in Muslim states in Africa and Asia.

“Non-Western countries are not accepting this any longer and not buying the American narrative, the Western narrative of the conflict,” Aziz Alghashian told broadcaster France 24.

Iran's President Raisi calls for 'action, not words' ahead of Saudi joint summit

i24NEWS and agencies November 11, 2023, 4:13 AM latest revision November 11, 2023, 5:24 AM

The statement comes as Raisi is about to visit Riyad for the Arab-Islamic summit on Gaza

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Saturday said that the time had come for action over the conflict in Gaza rather than talk as he headed to Saudi Arabia to attend a summit on the war between Israel and Hamas militants.

"Gaza is not an arena for words. It should be for action," Raisi said at Tehran airport before departing for the summit of Arab and Islamic nations in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh. "Today, the unity of the Islamic countries is very important," he added.

It is the first visit to Saudi Arabia by an Iranian head of state since Tehran and Riyadh ended years of hostility under a China-brokered deal in March. "The summit will send a strong message to warmongers in the region and result in the cessation of war crimes in Palestine," Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, who is accompanying Raisi, was quoted as saying by the Padolat government website.

"America says it doesn't want an expansion of the war and has sent messages to Iran and several countries [to this effect]. But these statements are not consistent with America's actions," Raisi said in the televised comments at Tehran airport.

"The war machine in Gaza is in the hands of America, which is preventing a ceasefire in Gaza and expanding the war. The world must see the true face of America," Raisi said.

Saudi Arabia on Saturday hosts a joint Arab League and Islamic Organization of Cooperation summit on Gaza. Saudi Foreign Ministry said the meeting "will be held in response to the exceptional circumstances taking place in the Palestinian Gaza Strip as countries feel the need to unify efforts and come out with a unified collective position."

The said unity would require the forum participants - Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, Turkey and others - to overcome the existing contradictions.

The summit comes after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman hosted the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Riyadh earlier in October.

According to the media, on March 16th, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu told the world there will never be a Palestinian state as long as he serves as Prime Minister. There’s only one problem. That’s not what he said.

Here’s what he actually said. “I think that anyone who is going to establish a Palestinian state today and evacuate lands is giving attack grounds to radical Islam against the state of Israel. There is a real threat here that a left-wing government will join the international community and follow its orders.”

The key word is “today.” That means, “Under the present circumstances”… “As things are now”… “In the current situation.” “Today” does not mean “forever.”

In media coverage, we rarely hear the actual quote. Instead, they describe him as saying “as long as I’m Prime Minister.” But he didn’t say “as long as.” He said, “Today.”

The New York Times characterized Netanyahu’s statement as “declaring definitively that if he was returned to office he would never establish a Palestinian state.”

The Daily News seemed to be one of the few major news outlets to examine Netanyahu’s actual words. Their editorial showed how reasonable his comments were. “Israel would necessarily have to surrender territory to the Palestinians under any two-state pact,” they wrote. “Netanyahu’s indisputable point was that doing so, as the facts on the ground now exist, would better position hostile forces to launch assaults.”

The media loves what they see as the story of the “real Netanyahu” coming out in the heat of the campaign, and showing his true feelings regarding a two-state solution. Why should they bother with the facts when the fiction perfectly fits their prejudices?

The Obama administration also seems intent on reading the worst into Netanyahu’s statement. The Department of State is the department of diplomacy. They usually bend over backwards to see the words of foreign leaders, especially allies, in the best possible light. Yet, the opposite is happening here.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, President Obama said, “We take him at his word when he said that it wouldn’t happen during his prime ministership, and so that’s why we’ve got to evaluate what other options are available.”

It doesn’t matter that he didn’t say it. It doesn’t matter that he later explained in interview after interview that his words didn’t mean it “wouldn't happen during his prime ministership.” It doesn’t matter because the administration sees this as an opportunity for leverage over Israel.

The president and his team have decided that under Netanyahu’s leadership Israel will never give up East Jerusalem, nor negotiate away Israel’s national security. They now believe that a negotiated peace is not possible. So their new plan seems to be an imposed peace. They’re using Netanyahu’s statement (the one he never really said) to give them political cover for turning against Israel.

The president misrepresented the prime minister’s position, then said, “That's why we've got to evaluate what other options are available….”

White House spokesman Josh Earnest threatened that Netanyahu’s campaign statements will “have consequences.” A senior administration official told the Wall Street Journal that such consequences might involve “potential action at the U.N. Security Council.”

The Security Council is the only United Nations body authorized to issue binding resolutions to member states. The one safeguard is that permanent members of the Council have veto power over such resolutions. In the past, the U.S. used its veto power to protect Israel. But the U.S. now threatens to use Netanyahu’s supposed comment as an excuse to remove its protection.

On April 1st, the Palestinians will officially become part of the International Criminal Court. Their expressed purpose in seeking membership has been to gain the ability to file war crimes suits against Israel. Will America have Israel’s back? It’s being “reevaluated.”

The BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) against Israel has had little impact so far. However, the United States government’s newly inflamed anger against Israel gives anti-Israel and anti-Semitic attitudes new political cover. In fact, rage against Israel has become politically correct on university campuses worldwide, and from there it’s spilling over into the streets. If the U.S. government turns on Israel, the rage will go unchecked.

Will the United Nations be allowed to simply draw new borders at its own whim? Will Judea and Samaria be stolen from Israel by international fiat? Will trade restrictions on Hamas-run Gaza be removed allowing that terrorist organization to openly import its weapons of terror? Will East Jerusalem be taken from Israel and given to the Palestinian Authority, a group now actively partnering with terrorist Hamas?

The angry U.S. response to Netanyahu has had the effect of hardening Israel into a position it never took and the U.S. never wanted — no two-state solution, no more dividing the land. Interestingly, that has been God’s position all along. In Joel 3:2, the Lord speaks of judging those nations who “have divided up My land.”

America has been Israel’s staunch defender for many decades. But Zechariah 12:3 speaks of a time when “all the nations of the earth will be gathered against” Jerusalem. Is the United States now turning to this dark side?

All my enemies whisper together against me, imagining the worst for me. Psalms 41: 8 (the israel bible)

Hamas has no interest in governing Gaza but wants a never-ending war with Israel, members of the terrorist group told The New York Times in a feature piece published on Wednesday.

According to the Hamas leaders, that was one of the primary goals of their Oct. 7 invasion of the northwestern Negev, in which thousands of armed terrorists massacred 1,400 people, mostly civilians, wounded over 5,000 others and took back to Gaza more than 200 hostages.

“I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders, and that the Arab world will stand with us,” Taher el-Nounou, a Hamas media adviser, told the U.S.-based newspaper.

Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the terrorist group’s politburo in Qatar, said they planned the Oct. 7 assault to “change the entire equation and not just have a clash,” adding that “we succeeded in putting the Palestinian issue back on the table, and now no one in the region is experiencing calm.”

“Hamas’s goal is not to run Gaza and to bring it water and electricity and such,” said al-Hayya. “Hamas, the Qassam and the resistance woke the world up from its deep sleep and showed that this issue must remain on the table.”

He added: “This battle was not because we wanted fuel or laborers. It did not seek to improve the situation in Gaza. This battle is to completely overthrow the situation.”

Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad told Lebanon’s LBC TV on Oct. 24 that the terror group would continue to carry out massacres like the one it carried out in southern Israel on Oct. 7 until the Jewish state is destroyed.

“Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country because it constitutes a security, military and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation, and must be finished,” said Hamad, according to a translation of the interview provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Israel’s existence was “illogical,” he said, adding, “The existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood and tears.”

“The Al-Aqsa Flood [Hamas’s name for the Oct. 7 mass terror attack] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination, the resolve and the capabilities to fight,” said Hamad.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper cited Hamad’s interview and aired the words of other Hamas leaders in a segment questioning how much the terror group cares about the lives of Gaza civilians compared to its war against Israel.

'She was gang raped; then they executed her': Testimonies from Oct 7 atrocities unsealed

As part of building the legal case against the Gaza Islamic terrorist group, the Israel Police's special felony unit, Lahav 433, questioned the perpetrators and interviewed victims and others, shedding light on the sadistic nature of the Islamic terrorists. Volunteers who helped collect bodies said that there were also sexual abuses against some of the men who were found. In some cases, the victims' private parts were mutilated.

A month has passed since the massacre on October 7th, in which Hamas slaughtered some 1400 Israeli residents, but the shocking testimonies are only now emerging as the Israel Police's Lahav 433, the police department dealing with serious felonies, continues with the meticulous documentation of the atrocities.

As part of this process, the detectives have been processing the testimonies of the perpetrators and the survivors. One of them is a chilling testimony of a young woman who hid with her boyfriend in a shelter, where she witnessed the rape and murder of another Israeli woman.

"I saw them forcing her to bend forward and then someone rape her," the testimony reads. "They were dressed in olive-toned fatigues, she was alive, and then she fell silent. She was raped and then killed."

For the first time, the investigators were exposed to messages from members of ZAKA volunteers describing the horrifying events as they collected bodies. These official testimonies will be used in legal proceedings in the future against Hamas and as a way to remember the atrocities. The testimonies are quite graphic and include descriptions of the horrors they witnessed when they arrived at the scenes of death to collect the remains of the victims. They too, have confirmed through their testimony that Hamas terrorists committed sexual offenses against women before killing them.

According to the testimonies of the volunteers, there were also sexual abuses against some of the men who were found. In some cases, the victim's private parts were mutilated. One member said that in many cases, "it was hard to tell if it was a man or a woman."

Unit Lahav 433 is constantly collaborating with the Shin Bet security agency and other security agencies in the interrogation of the captured terrorists. Through their investigations, the police aim to assign collective responsibility for the massacre. In one of the investigations, a Hamas operative described how he killed a man and a woman with a hammer.

As part of building the case against the Gaza Islamic terrorist group, the investigators have to collect testimonies from survivors classified as "victims of an offense" and "witnesses." "It is challenging to establish contact with people who have undergone such trauma," the members of Lahav 433 told Israel Hayom. "It requires emotional and mental intelligence." The unit is confident that this is the biggest case Israel has ever seen, even more significant than Adolf Eichmann's prosecution for his role in orchestrating the Holocaust as a senior Nazi official. In the case of prisoner exchanges, the testimonies and evidence could also be used in international lawsuits.

One of the horrifying calls that reached the police during the massacre was from a 15-year-old girl. "I'm a 15-year-old girl, I have school tomorrow," the girl said on the phone just before the terrorist holding her took her device. The dispatcher tried to beg for the girl's life, but it was in vain, and she was killed. "A significant portion of the murders were committed by civilians," emphasized the detectives of Lahav 433.

The investigators say that they want to prove that the Hamas atrocities were systematic and premeditated. Furthermore, the investigators succeeded in monitoring the Hamas groups on Telegram, where the terrorists sent some of the documentation of their crimes to encourage each other. It was revealed in the investigation that for every team of terrorists, there were also documenters who recorded the atrocities on GoPro cameras and used smartphones to livestream the massacre to their commanders in Gaza.

At the top levels of Lahav 433, they say that some social networks like Facebook and Instagram cooperate with them, while others have been less cooperative. "Not everyone has shifted to a war mode," said the police, adding that they estimate it will take many more weeks to collect all the materials.

At this stage, the police refuse to disclose whether individuals from within Israel assisted the Hamas attack, but they mention that there is evidence that even non-residents of Gaza participated in the massacre. It is emphasized that a few days after the massacre, survivors reported that they had heard Hamas terrorists speaking among themselves in Persian.

One of the Hamas operatives who was captured described in his interrogation that each cell had a mission, and the terrorists were divided into squads for training. He described how they trained for years and went through small-scale drills to avoid failure. Each cell received a battle plan, and only the cell leaders knew about the first three missions to prevent leaks.

The terrorists had ambitious plans, one of which was to take over a settlement and hold its residents hostage.

The Prime Minister's Office responded by saying that "the fighting continues, and there will be no ceasefire without the release of our hostages."

Israel has agreed to observe daily four-hour “humanitarian pauses” in its operation against Hamas terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip, U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday.

U.S. President Joe Biden asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to institute the pauses during a call on Monday, according to the White House.

The first humanitarian pause was set to be announced later on Thursday, Kirby claimed, adding that Jerusalem committed to announcing each four-hour window at least three hours in advance.

Kirby said a ceasefire is not on the table because it would aid Gaza’s terrorist rulers and “legitimize what they did on Oct. 7, and we simply are not going to stand for that at this time.”

While this is the first time that the United States has announced this policy, Israel already opened a humanitarian corridor along Salah al-Din road for Palestinians to evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip.

The Prime Minister’s Office released a statement reiterating that “the fighting is continuing and there will be no ceasefire without the release of our hostages.

“Israel is enabling safe corridors from the Strip’s north to its south, as 50,000 Gazans did only yesterday. We once again call on the civilian population in Gaza to evacuate to the south,” Netanyahu’s office stated.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) earlier on Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces likewise downplayed claims of a ceasefire. “There is no ceasefire. There are tactical, local pauses for humanitarian aid for Gazan civilians. These tactical pauses are limited in time and area,” said the military.

“We are also providing humanitarian corridors for civilians in Gaza to temporarily move south to safer areas where they can receive humanitarian aid,” the post added.

A White House official subsequently clarified to local media that Israel informed the Biden administration that it is working towards “formalizing and expanding” the existing humanitarian corridors.

“They also told us that it’s a formalized plan of action that will take effect today, and that they are opening a second corridor to allow for safe passage for civilians and aid to be delivered and distributed,” said the official.

On Wednesday, Netanyahu once again said that there would be no ceasefire unless the more than 240 hostages held by Hamas were freed. “It [the campaign] is advancing well and is achieving good results,” he said.

“I would like to set aside all kinds of false rumors that we are hearing from all sorts of directions and re-clarify one thing: There will be no ceasefire without the release of our hostages. Everything else is false,” he added.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog also told U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris this week that there would be no ceasefire without the release of the hostages.

Washington requested that Israel announce a ceasefire lasting multiple days, Biden told reporters on Thursday. “It’s taken a little longer than I hoped,” he said, expressing frustration with Netanyahu.

Biden clarified that there is currently “None. No possibility” of a more permanent truce with Hamas.

Large swaths of North America may face blackouts and other energy emergencies during bouts of extreme cold this winter as coal and natural gas supplies tighten, according to a US regulatory agency.

The electric grids at most risk of supply shortfalls are in Texas, the central US system stretching from the Great Lakes to Louisiana, New England and the Carolinas, the North American Electric Reliability Council said in its seasonal assessment Thursday. Severe weather may stress grids by causing demand to soar while supplies of natural gas, coal and back-up fuel oil are all tight, leaving little room for error, according to the report.

International Man: Everyone knows that the US government has been bankrupt for many years. But we thought it might be instructive to see its current cash-flow situation.

The US government’s budget is the biggest in the history of the world and is growing at an uncontrollable rate.

Below is a chart of the budget for the most recent fiscal year, which had a deficit of nearly $1.7 trillion.

Before we get into the specific items in the budget, what is your take on the Big Picture for the US budget?

Doug Casey: The biggest expenditure for the US government are so-called entitlements. It’s strange how the word “entitlements” has been legitimized. Are people really entitled to the government paying for their health, retirement, and welfare? In a moral society, the answer is: No. Entitlements destroy personal responsibility, legitimize theft, destroy wealth, and create antagonisms.

The fact is that once people have an “entitlement,” they come to rely on it, and you can’t easily take it away. The Chinese call that breaking somebody’s rice bowl. In the case of the American welfare state, it’s more a question of breaking a whipped dog’s doggy bowl. It’s a shame because many have come to rely on their mother, the State, not entirely through their own fault. The US has become pervasively corrupt.

The World Economic Forum (WEF)—a pox upon them—isn’t entirely incorrect when it arrogantly calls most people “useless mouths.” An increasing number produce absolutely nothing but only consume at the expense of others. Courtesy of the State.

There’s little doubt in my mind that the government’s expenses are going way up as people demand more. While receipts go down as the Greater Depression deepens. Which it will, as the economy is burdened by evermore taxes, regulations, and currency debasement. That’s on top of the gigantic debt the government and country are buried under.

The government reminds me of a poker player on tilt, betting more and more crazily in hope of magic or luck to bail him out. It always ends badly.

We’ve watched this progression accelerate since at least the 1960’s—a slow motion train wreck. But the inevitable has finally turned into the imminent.

International Man: What are your thoughts on Social Security, Health, and Medicare?

With an aging population, it seems politically impossible to make any meaningful cuts here. On the contrary, spending in these areas is likely to explode.

Doug Casey: They should be abolished. I’ve said this many times before, but it bears repeating as often as possible because everybody forgets the most basic of the basics. Namely, the government, as an instrument of force, should be limited to protecting people from physical force. And nothing else.

That implies a police system to defend people from force within, a military to defend against foreign aggressors, and a court system to allow people to adjudicate disputes without resorting to force. I’d further argue that those three things are so important to the conduct of a civil society that they shouldn’t be left to the kind of people who inevitably gravitate towards government. But that’s a different subject.

Looking at these three things you mentioned in particular, they’re complete disasters. They’re fiscally unsound, will bankrupt the US government, and, therefore, bankrupt the country itself, especially with an aging population.

Social Security seemed like a good idea at the time so that poor people wouldn’t be left totally without an income in old age. But the fact is that Social Security is a classic Ponzi scheme. Its taxes have gone from a trivial percentage to 12.4%.

It’s so high that people are on the bottom end of society, who it’s meant to help, are precluded from saving on their own. Social Security is both a practical and moral disaster.

As for Medicare, how is it your problem if another has failed to take care of his body? Your body is your primary possession. Should it also be your problem if somebody fails to take care of his car? Should the State fix all your property?

Should the government have anything to do with health? No. It’s strictly a matter of personal responsibility. Of course, if the State believes it owns you, like a milk cow, the cattle can expect food to show up, as will medicine if they get sick.

Government entitlement schemes encourage everyone to try to live at the expense of his neighbors. They’re intrinsically dehumanizing, corrupting, and degrading. They’re a bad deal all around.

International Man: With the most precarious geopolitical situation since World War 2, “National Defense” seems unlikely to be cut.

Doug Casey: The United States’ “defense” spending exceeds that of the next 10 nations combined, including Russia and China. Most of that spending goes into the maw of five major defense companies. A decade or two ago, there used to be 30 or 40 defense companies. But they’ve now consolidated, the better to deal with Big Government.

They increasingly make only expensive high-tech weapons, which may prove totally useless in today’s environment. For instance, the US is currently suffering an invasion of feet people across the southern border—millions and millions of young males, of alien race, language, religion, and culture, in the last two years alone. We may yet wind up with a civil war in the US, on top of several insane foreign wars.

These high-tech weapons, in the process of bankrupting the US and enriching the defense establishment, will prove largely useless. Meanwhile, military personnel are being gutted. It’s no secret that the services can’t recruit enough people to keep their numbers where they want them. That’s in good measure because ESG and DEI have been insinuated throughout the military like slow-acting poisons. The military is no longer a meritocracy. Now, it’s critical to be the right color and gender. George Patton would quit in disgust.

On top of all that, defense spending is a provocation to other countries. It’s like waving around a giant golden hammer. They’re correctly afraid that everything has started to look like a nail to the US.

International Man: The net interest expense on the national debt was $659 billion in FY 2023, which is sure to rise.

The US government needs to roll over a significant portion of its existing debt issued when interest rates were 0% in an environment of much higher and rising rates.

Doug Casey: Interest on the debt is the next big thing, in addition to entitlements and out-of-control “defense” spending.

They used to say, “Don’t worry about the national debt; we owe it to ourselves,” which was always ridiculous because some specific people always owed it to other specific people.

But the US can no longer generate adequate capital to fund the government’s debt. And I hasten to point out that the government is not “We the People.” The government is a separate entity, with its own interests, as distinct as General Motors.

In the recent past, the national debt has been financed not by Americans, but by foreigners. At this point, however, foreigners no longer want to own the debt of a bankrupt entity whose currency is nothing but a floating abstraction. The government can only finance its debt by selling it to its central bank, the Fed, which creates new dollars to buy the debt.

As the dollar inevitably loses value, interest rates will rise. That’s regardless of what the Fed does or doesn’t want. The market will demand higher interest rates to finance the debt. You don’t want to own bonds.

Is there any chance the US government can reform and return to a sustainable basis?

Doug Casey: The US government is bankrupt. It’s not just the official $34 trillion. The real number is several times higher, considering contingent liabilities. It’s probably more like $100 trillion. This debt will never be repaid. The US government is like Wiley Coyote after he runs off a cliff.

In addition, the average American is deeply in debt—student loans, mortgage debt, credit card debt, auto debt, and much more. The country is in big trouble. Frankly, there’s no practical way out at this point except to officially declare bankruptcy.

I realize serious change is impossible since the situation is so out of control. But here are six things to imagine—for a start:

1. Allow the collapse of all bankrupt entities. No bailouts, subsidies, or guarantees for banks, insurers, corporations, or anything.

There will be plenty in the coming years. Bailout money is always wasted. Most of the real wealth now owned by the bankrupt entities will still exist.

It will simply change ownership. But that’s not nearly enough. At this point, it would be a half-measure, a 3-foot rope over a 12-foot gap. If you allow the collapse of unprofitable enterprises without changing the conditions that created the problem, recovery is going to be even harder. So…

2. Deregulate. Contrary to what almost everyone thinks, the main purpose of regulation is not to protect consumers but to entrench the current order. Regulation prevents new institutions from arising quickly and cheaply.

Does the Department of Agriculture really need 100,000 employees to regulate fewer than two million farms in the US? Abolish it.

Has the Department of Energy, created in 1977 to somehow solve a temporary crisis, done anything of value with its 110,000 employees and contractors and $32 billion annual budget? Abolish it.

How about the terminally corrupt Bureau of Indian Affairs, which has outlived whatever usefulness it might have had by 100 years. Abolish it.

The FTC, SEC, FCC, FAA, DOT, HHS, HUD, Labor, Commerce, and many more, serve little or no useful public purpose. Eliminate them, and the entire economy would blossom – except for the parasitical lobbying and legal trades. There are hundreds of agencies like these. Most aren’t just useless. They’re actively destructive.

3. Abolish the Fed. This is the actual engine of inflation. Money is just a medium of exchange and a store of value; you don’t need a central bank to have money. In fact, central banks are always destructive. They benefit only the cronies who get their money first.

What would we use as money? It doesn’t matter as long as it’s a commodity that can’t be created out of thin air. Gold is the obvious choice. Bitcoin may turn out to be excellent.

The whole idea of a central bank is a swindle. Massive bailouts and optional wars can’t be done without it.

4. Cut taxes by 50%… to start. The economy would boom. The money won’t be needed with all the agencies gone. Certainly not if the next two points are followed.

5. Default on the national debt. I realize this is a shocker unless you recall that the debt will never be paid anyway. Why should the next several generations have to pay for the stupidity of their parents?

A default sounds dishonorable—and it is in civil society. But government is different. It hasn’t been “We the People” for a long time; it’s now a self-dealing behemoth run by cronies. It’s like a building with a rotten foundation—better to bring it down with a controlled demolition than wait for it fall unpredictably.

Governments default all the time, though most defaults are subtle, through inflation. In an outright default, however, the only people who get hurt are those who lent money to an institution that can only repay them by stealing money from others. They should be punished.

6. Disentangle and disengage. The entanglements the US needs to escape prominently include the UN and NATO. Spending could easily be cut 50%. The US combat troops now in over 100 foreign countries can come home. They’re not “defending” anything but local collaborators while picking up bad habits and antagonizing the locals. Spending on the military and its sport wars significantly adds to the economy’s problems.

Editor’s Note: The economic trajectory is troubling. Unfortunately, there’s little any individual can practically do to change the course of these trends in motion.

The best you can and should do is to stay informed so that you can protect yourself in the best way possible, and even profit from the situation.

That’s precisely why bestselling author Doug Casey and his colleagues just released an urgent new PDF report that explains what could come next and what you can do about it.

LIVEBLOG: IDF targets terrorist tunnels in Gaza, Palestinians move south using humanitarian corridor

U.S President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced that he asked Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a pause in Gaza fighting over the phone call that occurred on Monday. "I didn't get a chance to talk to him today. I did ask him for a pause in the past — yesterday. Still waiting to hear," the President told to a reporter traveling with him in Washington D.C.

A following report by Axios claimed that Biden requested a three-day pause to allow hostages release, according to two U.S. and Israeli officials. "According to a proposal that is being discussed between the U.S., Israel and Qatar, Hamas would release 10-15 hostages and use the three-day pause to verify the identities of all the hostages and deliver a list of names of the people it is holding, the U.S. official said."

IDF says it has destroyed 130 Hamas tunnels since beginning of ground operation in Gaza

Statement from the army: "The activity of the engineering warriors within the combat teams fighting in Gaza includes destroying the enemy's weapons, locating, exposing and detonating tunnel shafts. With the expansion of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip, the fighters are thwarting the terrorist infrastructure of Hamas.

As part of the ground forces' activity in the Gaza Strip, an effort is underway to uncover and destroy the tunnels of the terrorist organization Hamas, and since the beginning of the fighting, 130 tunnels have been destroyed."

Israel's war to wipe out Hamas in Gaza is "the war of the free world" Cohen told EU lawmakers in Brussels on Wednesday.

Two IDF soldiers moderately and lightly wounded after anti-tank missile fired from southern Lebanon

Statement from the IDF spokesperson: "IDF forces recently attacked a number of positions for launching anti-tank missiles of the terrorist organization Hezbollah.

In addition, terrorists launched an anti-tank missile at an IDF force in the Dobb area, the IDF attacked with artillery fire the sources of the fire.

Two IDF soldiers were slightly and moderately injured and were evacuated to receive medical treatment at a hospital, their families were informed.

Also, two launches were detected earlier today towards Shtula area and Yiftah area. The IDF attacked the sources of the fire with tanks and artillery fire. There were no casualties."

Israeli officials will not participate at Thursday's "humanitarian conference" for Gaza in Paris, organized by French President Emmanuel Macron

Despite the snub, Israel has "an interest in the humanitarian situation improving in Gaza", an official in Macron's office told reporters on Wednesday.

G7 foreign ministers said on Wednesday that they supported "humanitarian pauses and corridors" in the Hamas-Israel war but did not call for a ceasefire

"We stress the need for urgent action to address the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza... We support humanitarian pauses and corridors to facilitate urgently needed assistance, civilian movement, and the release of hostages," a joint statement said.

Speaking to reporters after G7 foreign ministers held talks in Japan, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that there should be "no reoccupation of Gaza after the conflict."

"Gaza cannot be continued to be run by Hamas. That simply invites repetition of October 7 ... It's also clear that Israel cannot occupy Gaza.

Now, the reality is that there may be a need for some transition period at the end of the conflict ... We don't see a reoccupation and what I've heard from Israeli leaders, is that they have no intent to reoccupy Gaza."

The Hamas commander said Haniyeh and other leaders live in splendor abroad while he's sustaining himself on some dates.

A senior Hamas commander told the UK's Daily Mail that Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar had "destroyed" the lower levels of the terrorist movement by ordering the October 7 attack, according to a report by the British newspaper on Sunday.

The commander, calling himself Abu Mohammed, told the newspaper in an interview over Telegram that originally the plan was to kidnap a few Israeli soldiers, but the orders were changed at the last minute by Hamas military leaders to conduct the massacre which ended up taking place on that tragic Saturday morning a month ago.

"Our reason to speak is that we want to raise our voice to the world. My dear Gaza is under bombardment," he lamented: "The problem is because of our leadership."

The commander pointed to the fact that Haniyeh and other leaders live in splendor abroad while he's sustaining himself on some dates and olive oil.

Abu Mohammed also accused Sinwar of "acting like a street fighter," saying Hamas terrorists were told to "do what they like" when attacking Israel.

The commander additionally stated that contact had been lost with Hamas's political bureau, saying "We don’t know what direction to go in next. We don’t know which path to take. They destroyed us."

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant also spoke about the disconnect between the Hamas leadership and the lower levels of the terrorist group recently, saying that Sinwar has been completely cut off from the rest of the organization and that Hamas's command structure is collapsing.

U.S. President Joe Biden confirmed on Tuesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had rejected his request for a pause in Gaza fighting.

“I did ask him for a pause. He passed,” Biden said in response to a reporter’s question at a White House event in Washington. “I’m still waiting to hear some other things.”

During a phone call on Monday, the two leaders discussed “the possibility of tactical pauses” to afford residents of the Gaza Strip “opportunities to safely depart from areas of ongoing fighting, to ensure assistance is reaching civilians in need and to enable potential hostage releases,” according to a White House readout.

Netanyahu reiterated during an ABC News interview on Monday that “there will be no ceasefire in Gaza without the release of our hostages.”

Such a pause, he said, “will hamper the war effort. It will hamper our effort to get our hostages out. The only thing that works on these Hamas criminals is the military pressure we are exerting,” he said.

Israeli forces have opened a humanitarian corridor in the Gaza Strip every day since Saturday for northern Gaza residents to evacuate to the safe zone in the south across Wadi Gaza, despite coming under fire from Hamas terrorists.

Avichay Adraee, the Israel Defense Forces’ Arabic-language spokesman, on Tuesday published video footage of a convoy of hundreds of Gazans walking south on the Salah al-Din route. Some of them appeared to be raising their hands and others seemed to be carrying white flags.

Senators probe Fauci-run virus lab in Montana where US scientists were infecting bats with Covid-like viruses shipped in from WUHAN in 2018 - years before the pandemic

Senators are demanding answers about a laboratory in Montana where US taxpayer money was used to manipulate coronaviruses before the pandemic.

DailyMail.com revealed last week how government-sponsored researchers infected bats with a 'SARS-like' virus in 2018 as part of a collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is at the center of the Covid cover-up scandal.

Republican Senators Joni Ernst, from Iowa, and Eric Schmitt, from Missouri, will today send a letter to the National Institutes of Health demanding 'to learn more about potentially risky research’ carried out at Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML).

The senators’ letter, seen by DailyMail.com, reads: ‘There is no room for error and no excuse for carelessness, since even a minor mishap can be catastrophic when dealing with dangerous biological agents, especially those with pandemic potential.’

The letter lays out 10 questions, including how many live bats are currently being housed at the lab and future planned experiments.

Questions include: 'Will the renovated RML conduct gain-of-function research or any other type of experimentation enhancing the pathogenicity of infectious agents or creating chimeric versions?'

'Should any biosafety incidents at RML occur, how will Congress and the public be notified?'

'Where are RML’s lab animals sourced from? Are bats or other animals being imported from foreign nations?'

The senators' letter highlighted the lab had previously reported a number of protocol breaches, including a mouse infected with an Ebola-like virus escaping its cage and roaming free for a day and unauthorized individuals, including a child, found wandering near the lab’s primate facility.

The CDC was not alerted immediately about the breaches because, the letter states, lab officials 'did not believe they needed to report the escaped rodent but later did when instructed to by CDC officials.'

The revelation last week was met with anger among politicians who said it revealed eerie ties between the NIH, which was under Dr Anthony Fauci's leadership at the time, and the Chinese lab feared to have sparked the global Covid-19 pandemic.

It also exposed the controversial research tactics being funded by American taxpayer dollars.

The 2018 collaboration saw Rocky Mountain researchers infect 12 Egyptian fruit bats that had been acquired from a shady, 'roadside' Maryland zoo.

The animals were infected with a 'SARS-like' virus called WIV1-coronavirus to study the virus' behavior and transmissibility. The virus had been shipped from the Wuhan lab the FBI believes caused the Covid pandemic, though the research determined the novel virus could not cause a 'robust infection.'

Rocky Mountain Laboratories was constructed in 1928 in Hamilton, Montana, and is a 'state-of-the-art biomedical research facility,' the NIH said. A key component of the facility is its research into vector-borne diseases, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease, as well as coronaviruses and antibiotic-resistant diseases.

Now, the lab is spending $125 million in Covid-19 funds to construct a new biosafety level 2 lab that will support animal breeding, holding and experiment programs, as well as quarantine for animals classified as biosafety levels 3 and 4.

The new facility will also expand RML’s capabilities for studies involving exotic species, including bats.

WCW Senior Vice President Justin Goodman told DailyMail.com: 'We applaud Senator Ernst for taking swift and decisive action to hold the NIH accountable for wasting taxpayer dollars on cruel, unnecessary, and potentially catastrophic animal tests at its Montana bioagent super lab that has a history of animal escapes and security breaches.'

The senators added they are also concerned about the work the NIH is doing with the non-profit scientific research organization EcoHealth Alliance.

Senator Joni Ernst told DailyMail.com in a statement: 'We have watched the horror movie of Chinese state-run Wuhan Lab’s experiments on coronaviruses in bats, and I have worked to defund Ecohealth’s dangerous projects.

'To willingly allow the sequel to happen at the taxpayers’ expense is plain batty. But under Fauci’s leadership, Rocky Mountain Lab has increased its risky research of pandemic potential.

'We cannot allow what happened in Wuhan on our own shores, which is why I’m working to prevent any future lab leak.'

The RML has a long and ongoing history of collaborating with the organization, which the lawmakers describe as ‘the virus-hunting group that steered US taxpayer dollars into the Wuhan Institute for research on bat coronaviruses.’

They said EHA violated the health agency’s grant policies by not notifying officials when EHA’s subcontractor, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, enhanced coronaviruses in its labs and repeatedly refused requests to provide documents about those experiments, which, the senators claim, could contain crucial clues about the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The senators added: ‘Needless to say, we are deeply concerned [the] NIH continues to invite this shady organization to collaborate, especially on pandemic prevention studies, since the group has thus far not prevented any pandemics, but may have caused one.

‘Quite frankly, it sounds way too much like a bad sequel to a horror movie, featuring the same cast of characters and predictable plot.

‘We would, therefore, like to learn more about RML’s past, present and future experimentation with select agents and dangerous pathogens as well as collaborations with EcoHealth Alliance.’

1. What is the RML’s anticipated annual budget for the upcoming fiscal year and the last five fiscal years, including any supplemental or COVID-related funding?

2. What is the total number of live bats and other live animals currently held at RML, delineated by species?

3. What is the total number of live bats and other live animals expected to be housed at the expanded RML facility, delineated by species?

4. Where are RML’s lab animals sourced from? Are bats or other animals being imported from foreign nations?

5. Are there any current or future RML projects that will involve EcoHealth Alliance or collaborators from the organization? List all past and current RML projects which include collaborators representing or affiliated with EcoHealth Alliance and describe the involvement.

6. Are there any future or pending RML projects that will involve researchers, laboratories, and other institutions and individuals based in the People’s Republic of China? List all RML past, present, and planned projects that involve collaborations with researchers, laboratories, and other institutions and individuals based in the People’s Republic of China and describe their involvement.

7. Will the renovated RML conduct gain-of-function research or any other type of experimentation enhancing the pathogenicity of infectious agents or creating chimeric versions? If so, how will Congress and the public be informed of any such experiments planned at RML?

8. How will Congress and the public be informed of proposed RML research involving select agents, defined by the CDC as “biological agents and toxins that have been determined to have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety?”

9. Should any biosafety incidents at RML occur, how will Congress and the public be notified?

10. Please describe and detail all RML live bat or live non-human primate experiments and/or studies, before December 2019, involving a SARS-like virus or a chimera from a SARS-like virus. Please include the GenBank reference number for the virus(es) studied, or if the sequences remain unpublished, please explain why.

America's major banks are sitting on $650 BILLION of unrealized losses thanks to crashing bond market which also took down beleaguered Silicon Valley Bank

Ratings agency Moody's Analytics estimated US banks have $650B in balance sheet losses

Nonetheless, as the Fad paused its rate hikes bank stocks are slowly on the rise

A US bond market collapse has lumbered some of America's largest and most prestigious banks with $650 billion in unrealized losses, analysts have predicted.

As interest rates have climbed thanks to aggressive hikes by the Federal Reserve, the value of Treasury-issued bonds - owned in large quantities by many banks - has fallen.

Typically, Treasury bonds have been considered a safe place to invest customer deposits, but high interest rates available elsewhere and the availability of new bonds with higher yields has made older bonds less appealing to investors and therefore less valuable.

The diminishing value of those bonds played a major role in the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March and has led to sustained concern about the overall condition of the US banking industry.

An estimate from Moody's Analytics last month indicated that US banks could be dealing with hundreds of billions in unrealized losses as the value of their investments in various long-term bonds - made in the early days of the pandemic - has plummeted.

But while those depreciating bonds can negatively impact a bank's balance sheet, unrealized losses are only a problem if they are actually sold for a loss.

While they are generally purchased and intended to be held until they mature, if banks experience a surge of withdrawals - a run on the bank - they may need to sell them. That is what happened to Silicon Valley Bank earlier this year.

The bank was forced to sell those bonds as its depositors sought to withdraw funds.

Bank of America reported last month that unrealized losses due to its ownership of Treasury and mortgage securities had risen to almost $132 billion in the third quarter. That was a rise from $106 billion in the prior quarter.

Bank of America's share price reached a three-year low earlier in October amid those concerns around the large holding of depreciating bonds.

'All of these are unrealized losses are on government- guaranteed securities,' Bank of America's chief financial officer, Alastair Borthwick, said during an earnings call.

'Because we're holding them to maturity, we will anticipate that we'll have zero losses over time,' he added.

JPMorgan Chase had unrealized losses of $40 billion in its 'hold to maturity' portfolio in the third quarter, Reuters reported.

And while Citibank did not disclose its unrealized losses at the end of the third quarter, they were around $24 billion at the end of the second quarter.

Nonetheless, last week regional bank stocks experienced a rally of around 10 percent after the Fed once again paused its rate hikes and indicated they may be over.

As interest rates come back down to manageable levels, the value of Treasury bonds are expected to rise and the bank's unrealized losses will shrink.

Israel has just made an important step in warfare. Their Arrow missile-defense system has shot down a ballistic missile outside of Earth’s atmosphere, which is the first time warfare has taken place in space. This was an Iranian missile launched from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthis, who have declared war on Israel. This missile traveled out of the Earth’s atmosphere in hopes of avoiding all radar, and this would be a surprise attack. This flew nearly 1000 miles (1600km) over the Arabian peninsula outside the atmosphere and would then turn down targeting the Israeli port city of Eilat.

This was not one of those propaganda stories from Ukraine how they shot down six unstoppable Russian missiles in a single day. Nothing that comes from Ukraine is ever trustworthy, and certainly not from the Institute for the Study of War – Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law who always says Russia is about to collapse..

This is the first missile to be shot down outside the atmosphere and has ushered in a new level of warfare.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters try to storm air base housing US troops in Turkey

Visuals from the protests showed police firing tear gas and using water cannons to disperse crowds waving Turkish and Palestinian flags and chanting slogans.

Turkish police used tear gas and water cannon as hundreds of people at a pro-Palestinian rally on Sunday tried to storm an air base that houses US troops, hours before US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was due in Ankara for talks on Gaza.

Turkey, which has stepped up its criticism of Israel as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened, supports a two-state solution while hosting members of the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Since the Israel-Hamas war started, protests have erupted across the country.

Earlier this week, the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, an Islamist Turkish aid agency, organised a convoy to travel to the Incirlik air base in the Adana province in southern Turkey to protest Israeli attacks on Gaza and US support for Israel.

Incirlik, which has been used to support the international coalition fighting Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, also houses U.S. troops. IHH's protest called for Incirlik to be closed.

Footage from the protests showed police firing tear gas and using water cannons to disperse crowds waving Turkish and Palestinian flags and chanting slogans. Protesters toppled barricades and clashed with police in riot gear.

Protesters were also seen hurling plastic chairs, rocks, and other items at police, who fired smoke bombs at crowds. Scuffles broke out between the crowds and security forces.

IHH President Bulent Yildirim addressed crowds in Adana and urged them to refrain from attacking police.

"Friends, it is wrong to throw rocks or do similar things because both the police and soldiers would want to go to Gaza and fight and they will go when the time comes," he said.

"Our rage is huge. We cannot hold it in. But Turkey is doing what it can," he added. IHH ended its rally earlier than planned due to the clashes with police.

The rally comes hours before Blinken is expected to arrive in Ankara for talks on Gaza with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan on Monday, and after repeated criticism by Ankara towards the West over support for Israel.

Pro-Palestinian marchers push against White House fence, vandalize national monuments during protest

Scenes of pro-Palestinian demonstrators shaking the White House gate and defacing statues throughout the District resulted in a single arrest Saturday as thousands descended on the nation’s capital to protest for a cease-fire in the Israel-Gaza war.

D.C.’s Metropolitan Police said the lone arrest was for a man on destruction of property charges on the 700 block of 17th Street Northwest.

Authorities said the suspect spray-painted graffiti on a McDonald’s and broke one of the restaurant’s windows.

The alleged vandalism took place near Lafayette Square, where videos were taken of protesters vandalizing and strapping Palestinian flags to statues of President Andrew Jackson and Gen. Marquis de Lafayette.

D.C. police also said the department was investigating acts of vandalism that damaged police vehicles and the McPherson Square Metro Station, but D.C. police confirmed Sunday that no additional arrests have been made related to the demonstrations.

“The Metropolitan Police Department handles hundreds of protests, demonstrations, and other events every year, and we support and facilitate people safely and peacefully exercising their First Amendment right to protest,” acting Chief Pamela Smith said in a Saturday statement.

Hezbollah announced its readiness to destroy an American aircraft carrier group off its shores with Noor missiles

In the context of rising tensions in the Middle East and support for Israel from the United States, which sent a second aircraft carrier to the region, the Lebanese group Hezbollah showed off its Noor anti-ship missiles. The publication of a video with launchers can be considered as a warning to the United States about Hezbollah’s readiness to respond to Israeli actions.

The Iranian-made Noor anti-ship missile is a modification of the Chinese C-802 missile and has a target engagement range of up to 120 kilometers at a speed of Mach 0,9. The missile is equipped with a semi-armor-piercing warhead weighing 155 kg, which makes it a significant threat to sea vessels.

Hezbollah, which already had experience in using this type of weapon, has not yet demonstrated significant success in its use. However, the current demonstration of combat capabilities may indicate an intention to increase military pressure in response to increased American military support for Israel.

Italy becomes first nation to BAN Bill Gates’ fake meat due to “serious health concerns”

Tags: badfood, badhealth, banned, big government, bill gates, clean food watch, conspiracy, deep state, fake meat, Food Evolution, food science, food supply, frakenfood, globalists, grocery, Italy, Joe Biden, junk food, Orazio Schillaci, products, progress, stop eating poison, synthetic meat, toxic ingredients, USDA, wef, White House

In a first for the developed world, the European nation of Italy has decided to ban all fake meat from the country, citing "serious health concerns."

Numerous recent studies show that lab-grown synthetic meat of the kind being promoted by billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates is triggering the formation of turbo cancers in humans – Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "vaccines" are doing the same thing, by the way.

In contrast to a recent decision by the Biden regime to fast-track the approval of synthetic meat here in America, Italy is taking the opposite approach by banning the stuff outright before it gets the chance to harm the Italian people.

"Italy is the first nation to say no to synthetic food, to so-called 'synthetic meat,'" announced Health Minister Orazio Schillaci. "It does so with a formal and official act."

"The resolution calls for a commitment to ban the production, marketing, and import of synthetic foods within our territory."

According to Schillaci, Italy's new regulations against synthetic meat aim to protect the general public against any situation in which "the environmental public health could be at risk, or when there is uncertainty regarding the effects of certain products that are being or will be introduced to the market or consumed."

"It is crucial to have measures in place to address these potential risks and ensure the safety of the environment and public health in such cases," he added – watch the video below:

(Related: Be sure to check out our earlier coverage about the rise and fall of Beyond Meat, which used to be one of the key players in the fake meat industry.)

Biden regime fast-tracks approval of synthetic meat, including Gates' lab-grown "chicken meat"

Much of the push in favor of synthetic meat comes not only from Gates but also other globalists such as Klaus Schwab, the goon in charge of the World Economic Forum (WEF), who claim it is necessary to stop "global warming" and "climate change."

Back in 2021 in promotion of his book "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster," Gates told MIT Technology Review that "all rich countries should move to 100 percent synthetic beef."

Gates' dream for the world probably will not come to fruition, at least as he envisioned it, because science continues to show that synthetic meat consumption is linked to cancer via the immortalized cell lines that the body uses to manufacture cancer cells in the presence of a provoking substance, in this case fake meat.

Fake president Joe Biden's regime has so far indicated its full support for the unleashing of fake meat here in the U.S., where private corporate interests seem to control just about everything.

In an unprecedented move, Biden's U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved the sale of Gates' lab-grown "chicken meat" back in late June. This approval from regulators will allow fake meat companies everywhere to flood the U.S. food market with their toxic, deadly products.

"Now we need to ban any WEF and NOW (new world order) product or message," one commenter wrote in response to the good news out of Italy.

"Back in old blighty, our bribery whores in UN parliament will happily push this crap on us," wrote another, presumably from the United Kingdom where, like in the U.S., fake meat and other garbage is more easily approved and pushed on the public due to government corruption.

"Expect widespread BS plus a taxpayer-funded ad campaign to promote this new highly toxic product."

The US government is pouring money into LGBT initiatives in US schools, as well as countries from Belarus to Nigeria to China.

During the past three fiscal years, $4.1 billion in federal money from taxpayers has flowed to LGBT initiatives in the United States and around the world, an Epoch Times investigation has revealed.

From Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2023, the U.S. government issued more than 1,100 grants to fund LGBT-promoting projects around the world, according to a review of a federal spending website.

Plans to create a "safe space for LGBTQ youth and adults to seek support and resources" earned a $1.8 million grant from the U.S. government in 2022 for the LGBT Life Center in Norfolk, Virginia.

A proposal for encouraging "diversity, equity, and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities by promoting economic empowerment of and opportunity for LGBTQI+ people in Serbia" was also a winning plan. To fund it, the U.S. government awarded Serbian activist group Grupa Izadji a grant of $500,000.

An Armenian activist group, the Pink Human Rights Defender, received $1 million from the United States "to empower the LGBTI community" in Armenia, a tiny country next to Turkey.

The federal spending website can be filtered to show entries that include specific keywords. A list of payouts filtered by using the keyword "LGBT" included 1,181 grants, 31 loans, and nine direct payments during the past three fiscal years.

Overall, during the past fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30, the government issued 454,821 grants.

Government grants may be direct payments to groups that are unrestricted or for a specific use. Federal loans can be repaid over long periods of time at low interest rates.

Of grants connected to the keyword "LGBT," individual payouts of at least $1 million totaled more than $3.7 billion combined. Many additional smaller grants also were awarded for LGBT initiatives.

Filtering the list for grants that included the word "transgender" returned 574 entries. In that category, grants that paid out at least $1 million totaled nearly $478 million.

An independent researcher who asked to remain anonymous has been tracking how the federal government spends money on grants related to gender ideology.

He started the work when he was laid off from his oil field job in the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic. After doing some digging, he was shocked to learn that, while he and his friends got little relief from the federal government, taxpayer dollars poured into LGBT activist causes, he said.

He now works at a politically left-wing oil company and his superiors likely would object to how he now presents his findings on social media, he told The Epoch Times.

"I could write for 20 years about just the money that's already been spent over the past three or four years," he said. The oil worker-turned-investigator shares his findings on X under the handle Randoland.us.

A Department of Education search revealed an ongoing grant paid to Emory University for researchers to study "the rectal mucosal effects of cross-sex hormone therapy among U.S. and Thai transgender women," The Epoch Times confirmed.

The project started in 2019 with a projected end date of July 2024. According to the government website, researchers will receive almost $3.5 million from the U.S. government to do the work.

The project is categorized under "allergy and infectious diseases research," with the stated purpose to "assist public and private nonprofit institutions and individuals to establish, expand, and improve biomedical research and research training in infectious diseases and related areas," according to the federal spending website.

Some small grants focus on studies that examine equally tiny portions of the population.

One grant recipient examines the effects of alcohol on intimate partner violence in transgender and non-gender-conforming adults, The Epoch Times confirmed.

A 2023 project received nearly $350,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to translate the “Homosaurus”—a thesaurus of LGBT terms—into Spanish.

The Homosaurus website includes definitions for sexual terms such as: "anonymous sex," "aromantic porn films," "pederasts," "children's sexuality," and "gay children."

The Homosaurus has reclassified as "fetishes" the words "gerontophilia," "ephebophilia," and "hebephilia," Greek words that mean sexual attraction to the elderly, people aged 15 to 19, and children aged 11 to 14, respectively.

LGBT cultural projects in America that received funding include more than $333,000 for an LGBT radio and television "digitization and access project."

Another provided $324,000 to map "historical LGBTQ spaces through gay travel guides."

One grant provides $1 million to Outright Action, an American activist group dedicated to global LGBT advocacy operating in many countries, including Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, Ukraine, the Philippines, Iran, and China.

Another grant pays for a "social biography of same-sex desire in postcolonial Ireland."

One provides funding to chronicle contributions to "gender identity development" among Belarusian teenage girls in vulnerable families.

Government-directed LGBT grants to American schools included $1.4 million to Boston College to study "mechanisms of health promotion in diverse youth through gay-straight alliances." The grant funded the promotion of gay-straight alliance clubs in Massachusetts middle and high schools.

"The federal government is using the grant process to change the culture and climate in America's public schools," Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice told The Epoch Times.

In her experience as a local school board member, Ms. Justice saw government-funded activist groups lead the ideological capture of schools, she said.

A recent poll by the group found that more than 70 percent of Americans want schools to teach basic educational skills and don’t want gender ideology or sexual orientation instruction in classrooms, Ms. Justice said.

Another DOE grant of almost $1.6 million was awarded for North Dakota's “indigenous, LGBTQIA+, rural and underserved school-based mental health needs.”

Young Muslims In Germany And All Across The Planet Now Pushing For Global Sharia Law In The Latest Alarming Evidence The 'New World Order Beast System' Will Be 'Martial Law'

- Globalists Pit Christianity, Islam And Judaism Against Each Other To Destroy Us All

According to this alarming new thread over on 'X' as also seen in the 1st video at the bottom of this story, young Islamists in Germany say Muslims will soon become the majority in Germany, upon doing so will immediately abolish the German Constitution & then introduce 'Sharia law' all across the country. Claiming in the interview that anybody and EVERYBODY who claims to be a 'Muslim' MUST therefore want Islam all across the planet, we're told by these Muslims that 'Authentic Islam' REQUIRES global 'Sharia Law,' so once they are 'the majority,' they'll do everything in their power to make sure that un-Constitutional form of govt 'goes global.'

Happening at a time when everyone can celebrate who they are, and celebrate their own religions, EXCEPT for Christians as was reported in this new story over at PJMedia that Steve Quayle had linked to on his website on Sunday, we'll explore within this story how this massive push towards 'worldwide sharia' isn't happening only in Germany, but in nations all across the planet, proving in a HUGE way how Europe, and ALL of Western Civilization, have been underestimating the threat posed by global Islam.

And we'll also be tackling another question and topic I recently read in another thread that was posted on another website: Will the 'New World Order Beast System' BE Sharia? While it's long been argued that 'globalism' didn't have a 'religious component,' as that thread warned, Barack Obama has long and indisputable ties to the 'NWO,' and while he was POTUS, a growing number of Americans believed Obama was himself a Muslim.

So with these young Muslims in Germany claiming they'll soon do away with the German Constitution to bring in Sharia Law, and then make sure that anti-freedom, pro-murder/terror form of 'law' goes global, as these Muslims also point out in the 'X' thread, all of those 'liberals' who claim to support and back Islam will soon be deeply disappointed, as these Muslims DO NOT support them, nor their so-called 'rights,' too.

Also telling the interviewer when asked exactly HOW the Muslims will get Sharia Law to stick as the law of the land in Germany and across the planet, as he tells him in response, "Once we are the majority, it will be by force." So are YOU ready to live under 'Sharia Law by force' in the future? Yeah, neither are we, yet for some insane reason, many liberals, and even some Conservatives, keep pushing that insane political agenda that'd prefer to 'chop off their heads' than allow 'gay rights'. Interesting, and alarming, how Muslims, like globalists, in reality have no support at all for human rights.

As a letter from 33rd degree Freemason Albert Pike to Italian Revolutionary leader Giuseppe Mazzini from a century and a half ago, which accurately predicted World Wars I, II and III, and is circulated today had warned.:

“The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making the country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the “Agentur” (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.”

“The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.”

“The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “Agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of the Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion… We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilisation, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”

ANP Emergency Fundraiser: The globalists war on ANP is all part of the globalists 'Big Tech' effort to silence conservative and independent voices, allowing them to maintain a monopoly on the flow of information. As George Orwell made clear to us decades ago, "The further a society drifts from the truth, the more they will hate those who speak it." But, with your amazing help, we at ANP promise to keep 'speaking truth to power' because, as Orwell also reminded us, "If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

In another very interesting thread over on 'X' that we all need to take a look at with the globalists in a mad rush towards World War 3, and Islam in a mad rush towards imposing global Sharia Law, Tucker Carlson recently warned of a 'mass casualty event' here in the good ole USA if joe biden goes to war with Iran.

Claiming that if biden gets into a war with Iran, they won't hesitate to use their nuclear weapons to launch an EMP attack upon us, ANP friend Dr. Peter Vincent Pry had long warned us in stories he'd written as the Executive Director of Task Force on National and Homeland Security, a Congressional Advisory Board dedicated to achieving protection of the United States from electromagnetic pulse (EMP), cyber-attack, mass destruction terrorism and other threats to civilian critical infrastructures on an accelerated basis, stories that we republished on ANP, that should an EMP attack take down the electrical grid here in America, 9 out of every 10 Americans would be dead in the following year to 18 months due to the total collapse of society, unstoppable crime, mass starvation and widespread diseases.

With Dr. Pry unfortunately no longer with us, having passed away from cancer in August of 2022, we're happy that Tucker Carlson has also decided to take up this alarming warning as heard in the 2nd video at the bottom of this story, a video joe biden should probably listen to before getting us all killed. But first from that thread over at "X" in which we read what lays ahead for us if Tucker, and Dr. Pry, are correct.

Tucker Carlson Foresees a Mass Casualty EMP Attack in The United States as a Very Likely Outcome if we go to War with Iran

“It’s better to be in a place, where this is my place and I’m defending it with these firearms until things calm down.

“Like when electricity is restored after the EMP attack.., because that’s what’s going to happen.”

“If you’ve put everything online, because the people who run our country are so stupid that they’ve actually done that, you’re so vulnerable that it’s unbelievable.

You’re using Chinese servers and switchers, and at that point, you don’t need to drop a nuke on anybody— you just scramble the circuits.

Why would they bother to throw a missile at the United States, across the ocean, when they could unplug the country?

Then you have mass casualties, and mass chaos. People are not prepared for this. They haven’t thought it through. Our leaders have not prepared them for it all.“

So while ANP has been talking about preparing for an EMP and a long term, grid down scenario for many years now, how many of our readers are actually prepared to survive such an event? Imagine no longer having ANY electricity at all to do ANYTHING! Imagine having no banks to access your money, or any way to get online, nor having any way to get fuel into your car for that matter. In the final section of this story below we'll be exploring how quickly things will spiral out of control following an EMP event. There are plenty of EMP prepping suggestions and links at the very bottom of this story.

So as Dr. Peter Pry had warned us all the way back in 2020 before his death, in this day and age, Western civilization is completely dependent upon the electrical grid to sustain life. Therefore, should America's electrical grid go down for an extended period of time, there are very good reasons why up to or more than 90% of Americans will likely die in the following year to 18 months from starvation, massive civil unrest and the eventual meltdowns of nuclear power plants across America.

Some of the 'systems' that would go down all across America due to a long term power outage include:

1) Electric power — The report said that “essentially every aspect of American society requires electrical power to function.” The loss of electric power could then make it impossible to perform even the most basic everyday tasks, especially since all the other infrastructures rely on electricity to run. According to the experts, the collapse of electric infrastructures essentially means most machines will stop working, resulting in the restriction of transportation and communication, limited heating, cooling and lighting, and the interruption of food and water supplies.

2) Telecommunications — Being able to communicate with others is important especially in an emergency situation, but an EMP or total grid down scenario will make this extremely difficult. As the report pointed out, electronic systems such as circuit boards and cable connections are a major part of the civilian telecommunication network. This means that in the event of an EMP, cellphones, landlines, and the internet will be rendered virtually useless.

3) Banking and finance — Most financial transactions are now done electronically — from depositing and withdrawing money to trading stocks. An EMP or total grid down scenario could very well bring the U.S. economy to a standstill. Financial data will be difficult to retrieve and transactions will no longer be possible; people will not have cash on hand to pay for necessities.

4) Petroleum and natural gas — An EMP could halt the production of petroleum, oil, and other natural gases, causing a domino collapse on other systems that need petrol and gas to function. Transportation systems could go down, while manufacturing and production systems could also be affected.

5) Transportation infrastructure — Automobiles, airplanes, trains, and maritime transport are all reliant on electronic systems to keep operating. An EMP attack could damage cars, make it unsafe for airplanes to fly and land, disrupt port operations, and shut down railroads.

6) Food infrastructure — The food supply chain will inevitably be disrupted by an EMP attack or grid down scenario. Cleaning, sorting, and packaging, and even distributing food all require electricity. Supermarkets have a limited supply, and in the aftermath of an EMP, they will certainly not be able to replenish their stocks, making food scarce. As a result, hoarding and hunger will become more common, and could cause crime rates to spike.

7) Water infrastructure — Water delivery and filtration systems all rely on electrical machinery. If an EMP happens, water for drinking and other purposes may become limited, causing dehydration, deterioration, and even death.

8) Emergency services — In an EMP strike, emergency services such as fire control, law enforcement, and rescue and emergency medical services could ironically be cut off at a time when they are more necessary than ever.

9) Space Systems — While the direct effects of an EMP on satellites are debatable, the ground systems communicating with those satellites will undoubtedly be seriously compromised. This means that there is no way to receive the potentially important information recorded by those satellites.

And as we'd also warned in this January 27th of 2023 story on ANP, whether it be Iran or Russia or China or North Korea or even 'enemies of America within,' an EMP attack upon America would instantly send most Americans back to a 'new dark ages'. Giving us a reason to prepare even more, an EMP attack upon America would also be a massive push towards the Deagel Report's 2025 forecast for America coming true. With Deagel having forecast at one point an America with only 54 million people living here by 2025, that would mean over 300 million Americans dying in the coming year+. From that story.:

So with the very real possibility that any forthcoming World War 3 could bring America a 'permanent lights out scenario,' with Russia (or Iran!) only needing one successful EMP attack to bring down 'the grid' from the East Coast to the West Coast, and EMP experts having warned any such attack that brings down the grid for a year to 18 months could see up to or more than 90% of the US population 'depopulated,' we'll look within this final section at preparing for such a catastrophe we pray never arrives on our shores.

As the Heritage Foundation had warned all the way back in 2010 within this story, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack represents one of the greatest threats imaginable—to the United States and the world. From that story.:

An EMP occurs when a nuclear device is detonated high in the atmosphere—a phenomenon of which America’s enemies are well aware. The electromagnetic discharge can permanently disable the electrical systems that run nearly all civilian and military infrastructures.

A massive EMP attack on the United States would produce almost unimaginable devastation. Communications would collapse, transportation would halt, and electrical power would simply be non-existent. Not even a global humanitarian effort would be enough to keep hundreds of millions of Americans from death by starvation, exposure, or lack of medicine.

Nor would the catastrophe stop at U.S. borders. Most of Canada would be devastated, too, as its infrastructure is integrated with the U.S. power grid. Without the American economic engine, the world economy would quickly collapse. Much of the world’s intellectual brain power (half of it is in the United States) would be lost as well. Earth would most likely recede into the “new” Dark Ages.

So with joe biden and the globalists in a mad rush towards World War 3, and the very real potential that WW3 will be an 'America ender,' with only one successful EMP strike against us sending us back to a 'dark ages' that the HUGE majority of Americans are completely unprepared for, and not only Russia and China but Iran having the weaponry to deliver such an attack, are YOU and your family prepared?

And as Mike Adams of Natural News warns us in the final video at the bottom of this story, it's not just Christians and Muslims and Jews that the Luciferian globalists want to destroy, but ALL OF US!

With it absolutely baffling me that so many liberals, and Conservatives for that matter, have fallen for the globalists never-ending lies and are helping the Islamic push for worldwide sharia law and a political system that would be used to chop off their own heads, please listen to these German Muslims in this 1st video below and then ask yourself, do you REALLY THINK you should be supporting that kind of political system? That'd be nearly just the same as supporting global martial law.

So with the globalists pitting Christianity and Islam and Judaism against each other as they rush towards nuclear Armageddon, as Mike Adams alarmingly warns us in that final video below, none of us should be falling for the 'Luciferian Plot' when their final 'endgame' is to destroy us all.

More than 75 young activists obstructed every entry point to Building 598 at Boeing in Missouri on Monday, where production takes place for the bombs and ammunition used by Israel in Gaza.

The manufacturing plant is responsible for supplying almost 1,000 bombs, which include Small Diameter Bombs and Joint Direct Attack Munitions to Israel.

Boeing expedited the shipment of 1,000 precision-guided munitions to Israel as the nation intensified its strikes on Gaza after 7 October, Bloomberg reported on 10 October.

The 250-pound Small Diameter Bombs, which are part of a deal signed in 2021, were transported to Israel aboard Israeli Air Force planes from a US Air Force base, Bloomberg reported.

"We are joining millions of people across the US and around the world in demanding an end to Israel's brutal assault on Gaza and its decades-long occupation of Palestine," said Ellie Tang, an organiser with the anti-war youth organisation Dissenters.

"We urge Congress and Biden to hear the calls of millions of us living in this country and push for a ceasefire. Until Congress blocks the bombs, we will."

The Israeli war on Gaza has killed at least 10,000 Palestinians, including at least 4,000 children, since the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on 7 October, which killed 1,400 Israelis, mostly civilians.

The blockage was organised by Dissenters, St Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee, Black Men Build St Louis, the Boeing Arms Genocide Campaign, and Resist St Louis.

The activists are calling for two immediate actions: firstly, for Congress and Biden to demand an immediate halt to hostilities, and secondly, to halt arms sales to Israel.

They are also urging communities to persistently partake in direct action aimed at Boeing and other firms benefiting from Israel's occupation.

"We want Congress to know what it looks like to take brave action. And that we will not wait for their timelines to actualise demands of ceasefire," said Su Mac, an artist and organiser.

"As taxpayers, we all have blood on our hands. Congress must act before they are etched into history books as complicit in a genocide the country called on them to stop. The whole world is watching."

Iran has not only been threatening the US with attacks, it has attacked US assets in Syria and Iraq 83 times since Biden became president, and at least 24 times in the past two weeks. Iran also recently threatened again to annihilate Israel, and has reportedly begun ordering its elite militias based in Syria into southern Lebanon "to participate in attacks on Israel."

Worse, Biden is reportedly again trying to meddle again in the government of a sovereign democracy by strongly intimating that he wants Israel's duly elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gone. The reason, presumably, is so that Biden can install some weakling who will do whatever Biden and his newly minted, extremely pro-Iran ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, tell him. That doubtless includes approving some horrendous "nuclear deal" enabling Iran's to have as many nuclear weapons as the mullahs like after Biden leaves office...

By effectively crippling America's oil production his first day in office and enabling Russia to sell its oil at inflated prices, Biden has literally financed Russia's war with up to $1 billion a day. In addition, by cancelling sanctions on Iran, Biden financed Iran's proxy war against Israel. The Biden administration, then, has funded both sides of two wars in two years.

The Biden administration has apparently decided to totally ignore the involvement of Iran in Hamas's October 7 invasion of Israel. The Iranian regime, meanwhile, has been assisting Russia militarily in its war against Ukraine and is reportedly behind the latest Hamas terrorist massacre in Israel. The Biden administration, by ignoring sanctions against Iran's oil and gas exports, thereby enabling Iran to accumulate close to $60 billion with which to fund the Hamas war, as well as to advance its own nuclear weapons program.

To top everything off, Biden is calling – in the middle of a genocidal Palestinian war to annihilate the Jews – for a "Palestinian state." Perhaps he imagines that would burnish his image as having "done something." As a news analyst said, "That is not a 'two-state solution;' that is a 'final solution.'"

On April 21, 2018, the Commander of Iran's Army, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, warned:

"When the arrogant powers create a sanctuary for the Zionist regime to continue survival, we shouldn't allow one day to be added to the ominous and illegitimate life of this regime. The Army will move hand in hand with the IRGC so that the arrogant system will collapse and the Zionist regime will be annihilated."

A few hours later, Hassan Nasrallah, chief Iran's Lebanese proxy Hizballah, said:

"The forces of the resistance today have the ability, the power and the missiles to hit any target in Israel."

The Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami, has made the strategy of his regime vehemently clear by stating on Iran state TV Channel 2, in 2019:

"Our strategy is to erase Israel from the global political map. And it seems that, considering the evil that Israel is doing, it is bringing itself closer to that."

"Today, more than ever, there is fertile ground... for the annihilation... of the Zionist regime. In Lebanon alone, over 100,000 missiles are ready to be launched. If there is a will... these missiles will pierce through space, and will strike at the heart of the Zionist regime. They will prepare the ground for its great collapse in the new era".

The Iranian regime has set up weapons factories abroad for manufacturing advanced ballistic missiles and arm in foreign nations, including Syria. Some of the weapons Tehran is producing there include precision-guided missiles, using advanced technology to strike specific targets. Iran's uses its foreign weapons factories and proxy armies, such as Hamas, Hizballah, and the Houthis in Yemen, for "plausible deniability." Both of these methods of "outsourcing" its aggression give it an advantageous military capability for waging wars or striking other nations through third countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq.

Israel has "targeted 15 Iran-linked facilities... the fourth reported attack by Israel against Iranian targets in Syria in the past two and a half weeks." Last week, Yemen's Houthis, whom Secretary of State Antony Blinken removed from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations just weeks into Biden's term, fired missiles at Israel from Yemen.

As the Biden administration has not been enforcing sanctions and tried to hand the Iranian regime $6 billion more, Iran has been enjoying a windfall of revenues. In April 2023, a bipartisan group of 12 US Senators urged the Biden administration to enforce Iranian oil sanctions, writing:

"United States sanctions should be enforced to the fullest extent of the law. As Iranian oil sales continue to rise, and the IRGC continues to target U.S. citizens and service members, including inside the U.S., it is imperative that we use all available government assets to limit the activities of the Iranian regime."

US sanctions have not been hurting Iran's economy since the Biden administration assumed office. Iran is now producing more oil and selling it at levels higher to the pre-sanctions era to countries such as China. As Iran's hardline President Ebrahim Raisi boasted, "We are not worried about oil sales."

Tehran's major revenues come from exporting oil. The sale of oil accounts for nearly 60% of the government's total revenues and more than 80% of its export revenues. Several Iranian leaders have, in fact, hinted at Iran's major dependence on oil exports. "Although we have some other incomes, the only revenue that can keep the country going is the oil money," then President Hassan Rouhani acknowledged in 2019.

The Biden administration must immediately impose drastic economic sanctions on Iran's energy and financial sectors. Such sanctions, as they did before, would threaten the ruling clerics' hold on power and to proceed with their nuclear program, forcing the leadership to recalculate its priorities. The US needs for once to hold those who violate commitments worldwide strictly accountable, and make clear that if they continue advancing their hostilities – with Iran, its nuclear weapons program -- military options are on the table.

The White House official also said that "this is not the time to withhold funds from the Palestinian Authority - the opposite should be done."

A senior White House official said on Saturday in a press briefing that the evacuation of the wounded and foreign citizens from Gaza was delayed because Hamas had tried to take some of its wounded fighters through the Rafah crossing to Egypt for treatment, Hebrew media sourced the official as saying.

"A third of the people who were on the list that Hamas submitted turned out to be Hamas fighters," said the official.

The senior official added that the administration is talking about a "humanitarian truce" and not a ceasefire, and claimed that it is impossible to talk about it "when a terrorist organization murders 1,400 people, kidnaps civilians, and hides in tunnels."

There is an alarming rise of global antisemitism. The global surge of venomous hatred of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel is palpable in our world today.

Just this week, Jewish leaders told US Officials, “We’ve never seen anything like this ever.”

In the United States, there has been a 400% increase in antisemitic incidents just since October 7th. This time last year, in 2022, antisemitic incidents were up 36%, which was the highest on record. In 2023, the number rose again before going dramatically higher in the wake of the Hamas attack and Israel’s response.

A Reuters headline on Tuesday read, “Open hatred of Jews surges globally, inflamed by Gaza war.” An article from CNN announced, “A new wave of antisemitism threatens to rock an already unstable world.”

“Outbursts of antisemitism have often been harbingers of societies in deep trouble and omens that extremism and violence are imminent,” they described. “Recent antisemitism is also a reflection of destructive forces tearing at American and western European societies, where stability and democracy are already under pressure.”

The rise of antisemitism is a warning sign that something bad is coming. In this case, it’s a warning sign that the tribulation may be in the not-too-distant future.

Antisemitism is metastasizing all over the world. Many of you have seen reports regarding college campuses in the United States. On one of the message boards of Cornell University was a statement calling for people to slit the throats of Jews.

In America, 3 out of 10 of the 18-24 age group believe that the US should support Hamas in this conflict rather than Israel. 26% believe that the solution to this problem is for Israel to be destroyed and the land to be given to Hamas and the Palestinians. So we see, especially among younger Americans, a growing wave of antisemitism.

Another place where this is mushrooming is in Turkey. There was a massive antisemitic gathering in the city of Istanbul. Turkey’s President Recep Erdoğan accused Israel of war crimes and vehemently insisted that Hamas is not a terrorist organization. Israel has pulled their diplomats and announced that they are reassessing their relationship with Turkey.

Turkey is one of the main nations mentioned in the Ezekiel 38 coalition that will invade Israel in the end times. Their relationship with Israel has done a 180˚ just since October 7th.

There are also significant protests in Paris and London, with signs such as “Gas the Jews,” “Hitler should have finished the job,” and the most virulent kind of antisemitism you can imagine. We’ve all heard the report about the airport in Dagestan, which is a Muslim area of Russia. People were tearing through the airport when a flight arrived from Tel Aviv, searching for Jews to Lynch.

These are chilling echoes of the 1930s and the 1940s. What we should keep in mind, as we see all of this, is that there is much more to antisemitism than meets the eye. What we’re seeing is the unveiling of an ancient satanic conspiracy. Antisemitism has been rightly called “the oldest hatred.” It goes all the way back to the time of God’s calling of Abraham.

Some of you may be wondering what antisemitism means. The main definition I’ve read is “prejudice against or hatred of Jews,” but there’s another definition. A friend of mine named Olivier Melnick, who is a Messianic Jew, defines antisemitism as “the demonic irrational hatred of the Jewish people and Israel, characterized by thoughts, words, and actions.”

It’s irrational, and it’s demonic. God chose Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants to be the forebears of the Messiah. Therefore, Satan wants to destroy them because he hates what God loves.

The problem is our world today is blind to the demonic component of antisemitism. They look at this and think, why does the world hate the Jews so much? They don’t understand that Satan takes irrational things, such as the hatred of the Jewish people and the land of Israel, and makes them appear rational.

Satan tried to wipe out the Jewish people so that the Messiah couldn’t come. Once Jesus was born and began His ministry, Satan incited the Jewish leaders and the Romans to kill Him. Since Jesus’ death and resurrection, Satan has now been trying to wipe out the Jewish people so that God cannot fulfill His purposes and program with them.

Revelation chapters 12-13 tell us that the ultimate antisemite will be the Antichrist. He’s going to persecute the Jewish people in the end times to a degree with which they have never been persecuted before.

The Antichrist will initially act like a friend of Israel and make a peace agreement with them. We can see that on the horizon as the world desires peace in the Middle East, unlike any other time in history. The Antichrist will ultimately betray them and become their greatest persecutor.

What we see today is also a preview of Zechariah 12:2-3, which states, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

As the world turns against the Jewish people, you and I need to love them, support them, and pray for them.

Most of you have heard of Corrie Ten Boom, who hid Jews during World War Two, resulting in her family being taken captive and the death of her sister and father.

The previous generation Ten Boom family started a weekly prayer meeting for the Jewish people in 1844. After a moving worship service in a Dutch Reformed Church, a man named William Ten Boom felt the need to pray for the Jewish people. People would stop by, and they would have a weekly meeting where they would pray Psalm 122:6 for the peace of Jerusalem.

These meetings took place every week for 100 years, until February 28th, 1944. The Ten Booms were gathered together for their weekly prayer meeting for the Jewish people when Nazi soldiers came to the house and took them away for helping local Jews and hiding them in a secret room.

That is the least that you and I can do in the times we find ourselves in is to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for the Jewish people, for God to bless them, and for God to help them.

What we’re seeing happening right now is unlike anything that we’ve seen since the time of the Holocaust.

Many pieces and players are propheticly moving into place today. You and I should be living on the tip of expectancy for the coming of Jesus Christ. Make sure you are ready.

Shares of Maersk plunge 18% as shipping giant announces 10,000 job cuts, says profit will be at lower-end of guidance

Maersk, a bellwether for global trade, said Friday it was facing subdued demand and inflationary pressures.

Profits for the firm have plunged from last year's record highs as elevated freight prices cool.

, a bellwether for global trade, on Friday announced plans to reduce its workforce by more than 10,000 people and said it expected profit to be at the low end of prior guidance.

The firm's Denmark-listed shares had fallen 18% by early afternoon to their lowest level since October 2020.

"Our industry is facing a new normal with subdued demand, prices back in line with historical levels and inflationary pressure on our cost base," CEO Vincent Clerc said in a statement, adding that overcapacity in most regions had driven down prices.

Maersk maintained full-year EDITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) guidance of $9.5 billion to $11 billion, but said it expected it to come in at the lower end of this range.

It comes after Maersk reported record earnings in 2022, with full-year underlying EBITDA of $36.84 billion.

A surge in demand and mammoth supply chain challenges during the pandemic saw freight rates soar, but this trend has now cooled amid a gloomy macroeconomic picture.

The company is accelerating cost and cash containment measures as a result, Clerc said.

The job cuts, which will see its headcount reduced from 110,000 in early 2023 to below 100,000, are expected to result in savings of $600 million in 2024 compared to 2023.

"Transportation demand [for Maersk] will be strong if the economy is going well, but the opposite will apply if there are clouds on the horizon," Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said in a note Friday.

"To make matters worse, normal industry dynamics in such a situation aren't playing out as expected. Traditionally when demand falls, more ships are idled but Maersk says such activity isn't accelerating in the transportation sector," he added.

"That means overcapacity – great if you are the person paying to move goods from A to B as it should enable you to barter for a lower price, terrible if you're the one owning and operating the ships."

Thousands of fearful Italians are gearing up for a mass evacuation for a possible volcanic eruption after earthquakes have rattled the region.

Italian government leaders are preparing for an eruption, though unlikely, in Campi Flegrei – a volcanic area near the city of Pozzuoli just outside Naples.

There have been around 500 earthquakes in the area since October, and at the end of September, a 4.2 magnitude quake rocked the region following another 1,000 smaller ones.

“You feel that? It’s nonstop earthquakes here,” Luca Averna, a part-time fisherman, told the Wall Street Journal recently as he worked on his small boat during a 3.6-magnitude tremor this month.

There are more than 70,000 residents in Pozzuoli. The last time there was an eruption at Campi Flegrei was in 1538 with the quakes tied to signs of volcanic activity under the surface.

“Even those small ones (quakes) make us afraid,” mother of two Annamaria Scardi said last month. “We are worried because (we are supposed to) run away. But where do we go? Where? This is the situation. We’re on edge.”

While experts have said there is no imminent threat of an eruption, there is still cause for concern in Italy that other locations with super volcanoes – like Yellowstone – don’t need to worry about.

“The difference is that in Yellowstone, if you think the eruption is coming, you can send the tourists home and close the park for four years,” University of Naples geology professor Alessandro Iannace told the Journal.

“You can’t do that with Campi Flegrei. There are just too many people there.”

There are also worries the activity is causing ground uplift and descent that can destabilize buildings.

Authorities reportedly have given out flyers titled “I’m Not Risking It” that have info on how to flee if an eruption is soon coming. Officials have also pinpointed escape routes though locals claim the traffic would be too clogged in the event there is a complete evacuation.

“If you want to live in Pozzuoli, you have to learn to cohabit with the volcano,” clothing shop manager Roberto Marotta told the newspaper.

“You’re always thinking about it, even when you sleep. If my wife moves in bed I jump up thinking it’s a quake.”

NASA releases footage of 600,000-mile-long 'canyon of fire' shooting out from the sun on Halloween

NASA has released footage showing a massive 'canyon of fire' about twice the size of the US shooting out from the sun on Halloween day.

The feature was a tremendous explosion of radiation that measured 6,200 miles wide and 62,000 miles long - large enough for the American Space Agency's Perseverance rover to see it on Mars, which is 145.59 million miles away.

The plasma ravine was around double the size of the entire United States and 50 times longer than the largest-known crater in our solar system, the Red Planet's Valles Marineris.

The video shows the filament slowing forming on the sun's southeastern limb and accelerating until it bursts, releasing electrified gas toward the ‘Earth-strike-zone.'

The clip was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) on October 30 as it flew by Earth's massive star.

The culprit is sunspot AR3477, which released an M flare that can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth's polar regions.

However, EarthSky reports that the sunspot also released eight C flares in the last 24 hours.

On November 1, AR3477 shot an M1.2 flare that caused radio blackouts over the South Indian Ocean.

The craft hit a record speed of 394,736 miles per hour (mph) last month, twice as fast as a bolt of lightning or 200 times the speed of a rifle bullet.

The achievement was made during its 17th sun swing on September 27, breaking its distance record by skimming just 4.51 million from the solar surface.

In 2021, the probe uncovered the source in the sun, which produces solar energetic particles that threaten crewed spaceflight, near-Earth satellites and airplanes.

A team of US researchers analyzed the composition of particles that flew towards Earth in 2014 and found the same 'fingerprint' of plasma located low in the sun's chromosphere - its second-most outer layer.

The solar energetic particles are released from the sun at high speed during storms in its atmosphere.

The team behind the new study said the new information could be used to predict better when a major solar storm will hit and act faster to mitigate the risks.

Russia's Wagner Group 'plans to give Hezbollah high tech air-defenses' to deploy along the border with Israel in 'major concern' to US intelligence

Russia's paramilitary Wagner Group plans to provide advanced anti-aircraft defense systems to Hezbollah for deployment near Israel's northern border, according to a new report.

Wagner wants to send the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group the Russian SA-22 Greyhound system, which uses surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery to intercept aircraft, two US officials told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

Hezbollah, a US-designated terror group backed by Iran, has been exchanging fire with Israeli forces across the country's northern border while Israel wages a ground and air war against Hamas in the southern enclave of Gaza.

The new air defense systems would undoubtedly escalate tensions in the region where Israel's air force is able to operate with relative impunity as Hamas and Hezbollah lack the hardware to shoot its aircraft out of the skies.

Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told the Journal that the report was 'very concerning' if true.

Russia's DC embassy and the US National Security Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment from DailyMail.com on Thursday night.

One official told they Journal that it wasn't clear whether the anti-aircraft system had already been delivered, but officials said they were monitoring talks between Wagner and Hezbollah, and considered the issue one of major concern.

Wagner Group, which launched a failed mutiny against Russian leader Vladimir Putin in June, is a state-financed private military company previously led by Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Prigozhin died in a plane crash in August, in what US intelligence assessed was a likely a Russian-backed assassination, and his 25-year-old son Pavel Prigozhin has reportedly taken command of the organization.

The Greyhound anti-aircraft system, a NATO designation for what Russia calls the Pantsir-S1, could give Hezbollah advanced capabilities to repel Israeli aircraft, cruise missiles, and precision munitions.

Russian developers claim that it is capable of engaging stealthy jets, such as the F-22 and F-35. The latter is the most advanced fighter jet deployed by the Israelis.

The Greyhound system consists of a missile launcher, radar truck, and command post, and is designed for point air defense against manned and unmanned aircraft, as well as some missiles.

Delivery of the system could raise tensions on Israel's northern border, where Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) troops have been exchanging fire with Hezbollah.

Israel, which has launched a ground assault against Hamas in Gaza, hopes to avoid opening a second front in the war on its northern border.

The US has positioned the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group in the Eastern Mediterranean in a bid to deter Iran and Hezbollah from further aggression.

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier and its strike group are also in the Eastern Mediterranean, and are expected to transit the Suez Canal this weekend on its way to the Middle East.

On Thursday, there was a major escalation along the Lebanon-Israel border with Hezbollah attacking Israeli positions with drones, mortar fire and suicide drones.

Hezbollah reportedly attacked 19 Israeli posts along the border, including one that was struck with two suicide drones.

The Israeli military said it had retaliated with warplanes and helicopter gunships on Hezbollah command centers, arms depots and sites from where the rockets were fired.

Two people were injured after rockets fired from Lebanon hit the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona, Israeli medical services said.

Videos released by the fire department and circulating on social media showed a street ablaze, a wrecked car and a damaged building in the town that had been mostly evacuated at the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency also said four civilians were killed on Thursday in an Israeli bombardment of the Saluki Valley region, a border area in southern Lebanon.

The latest deaths raise to 10 the number of civilians killed on the Lebanese side of the border since tension began to rise there following the October 7 Hamas attack in southern Israel, which left 1,400 Israelis dead.

Israel has responded with relentless airstrikes in Gaza, which the enclave's Hamas-run heath authority say have now killed more than 9,000 people, including many children. Hamas does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in casualty figures.

The IDF on Thursday continued to expand its ground war against Hamas in Gaza, where around 240 hostages were taken from Israel into Gaza by the militant group.

While one may chuckle at the notion, it is necessary to point out that Algeria can basically SHUT DOWN entry/Exit between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

BULLETIN -- Russia at United Nations:"Israel has no right to self defense as an "Occupying Power"

Israel has no right to self defense because it is an Occupying Power said Vassily Nebenzia, Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, during a Security Council meeting this morning in New York.

Specifically, Nebenzia stated ""All the West can do is talk about Israel's right to self defense, even though, as the occupying state, it has no such right..."

I had to think for a few minutes as to exactly HOW Israel is an "occupying power" and then, it hit me: Any land outside Israel's 1967 Borders . . . is "Occupied" by Israel!

This is a stunning position to be stated publicly by Russia and it does not bode well for Israel.

IDF says several terrorists were killed and that it holds information that Hamas the uses ambulance for transport; The military also reports that intelligence was recovered from a captured Hamas base inside the Gaza Strip

Yoav Zitun, Einav Halabi, Reuters, Lior Ben Ari, Elisha Ben Kimon, |Updated:02:59

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit said Friday that an aircraft struck an ambulance in the Gaza Strip, which, according to intelligence was being used by a specific Hamas unit closely positioned to the combat zone.

It was further reported that several Hamas terrorists were killed in the attack, and the IDF has information suggesting that the terrorist organization utilized the ambulance for transporting terrorists and weaponry.

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit announced Friday that military forces were able to recover various intelligence documents from a captured Hamas base inside the Gaza Strip.

The information obtained encompasses Hamas' operational orders, command and control charts, communication tools, and personal details of both commanders and terrorists within the terror organization. "These materials are being scrutinized by the Intelligence Corps and other relevant units and will serve the IDF in future combat operations," the military said.

The White House said on Friday that 100 US citizens and family members left Gaza on Thursday and said another large group of Americans were expected to leave on Friday.

Speaking to reporters, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said negotiations are intense on getting foreign nationals out of Gaza and that it is a fluid situation.

In a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant asserted that the war Cabinet unanimously agreed there would be no cease-fire in the Gaza Strip until the Israeli hostages were returned.

Gallant emphasized the point by showing Blinken a photograph of three-year-old Abigail Edan, an Israeli American from Kibbutz Kfar Aza who lost her parents in Hamas's October 7 attack, declaring, "Our children's safety is paramount. We will not agree to a cease-fire without the return of the captives."

He further noted that this stance is backed by the collective resolve of over 250,000 soldiers and their families, amounting to a million people.

Blinken queried about the next political phase post-war, particularly the establishment of alternative governance in Gaza. He acknowledged the heightened pressure on the United States stemming from its unwavering support for Israel.

Speaking from his hideout in Lebanon, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah provided a hot-air speech in which he seemingly tried to justify his terrorist group's hesitation to launch a full-scale war against Israel, stating that the ongoing Israel-Hamas war was a Palestinian affair rather than a regional one.

"The war is 100% Palestinian, not regional. The battle is completely Palestinian, for the Palestinians, and has no relation to other regional affairs,” he said at a ceremony honoring members of his terrorist group killed in border skirmishes with Israel since October 7.

He also stressed that Hezbollah became actively involved in the fighting since October 8. "What is happening on the Lebanese border may seem modest, but it is very important," Nasrallah said, claiming that such exchanges of fire at the border have not been seen since 1948, the year of Israel’s independence.

As Nasrallah was speaking in Lebanon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Shiite cleric and military commander against opening a second front on Israel's northern border.

"I say again to our enemies, do not miscalculate—any mistake will cost you dearly, a price beyond your belief," he said.

"Our victory will be decisive and clear—it will send a message to our enemies that will resonate for generations. We will not relent until we have achieved our defined goals: the dismantling of Hamas, the return of the captives and the restoration of security for our citizens."

The IDF spokesperson reported successful joint operations between ground and air units in the Gaza Strip, leading to the elimination of scores of terrorists who had engaged Israeli forces through an attack tunnel.

"A terrorist cell was spotted by IDF reservists as it exited a tunnel. An aircraft was called in to target and eliminate the threat. Additionally, terrorists fired upon our forces from within a residential building. The troops responded decisively, resulting in the elimination of the attackers," the report stated.

IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in his daily briefing Friday ahead of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah's speech that "in the north, we are on alert, and we will continue to respond to any aggression."

"We are on high alert to respond to any scenario, both today and in the days to come. Iran continues to engage in subversive negative activities and incites proxies to distract us from the conflict in Gaza, just as it has done in Ukraine, Yemen and Iraq against U.S. forces."

Meanwhile, the United States' top diplomat Antony Blinken landed in Tel Aviv on Friday to push for humanitarian pauses in the Gaza war as Israel said it had surrounded the Palestinian enclave's biggest city and the focus of its drive to annihilate Hamas.

Blinken, on his second trip to Israel in a month, met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders to discuss concrete steps to minimize harm to civilians in besieged Gaza, where food, fuel, water and medicine are scarce.

CNN reported on Friday that U.S. President Joe Biden and his top advisers are “warning Israel with growing force that it will become increasingly difficult for it to pursue its military goals in Gaza as global outcry intensifies about the scale of humanitarian suffering there.”

The report stated that behind the scenes, U.S. officials believe there is “limited time” for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties – and calls for a cease-fire – reaches a tipping point.

There's a growing understanding within the Biden administration that that decisive action may be needed soon. According to sources that spoke with CNN, several of the president's key advisers think it may be only a matter of weeks, and not months as previously believed, before the U.S. government can no longer justify resisting the mounting calls to advocate publicly for a cease-fire.

The IDF Friday morning named four more soldiers who have been killed in battles against Hamas terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip.

Captain Beni Wais, 22, from Haifa, a platoon commander in the 460th Brigade; Master Sergeant (Res.) Uriah Mash, 41, from Talmon, a 401st Brigade soldier; Master Sergeant (Res.) Yehonatan Yosef Brand, 28, from Jerusalem, a 401st Brigade soldier; Sergeant Major (Res.) Gil Pishitz, 39, from Harish, a tank driver in the 401st Brigade. Two other soldiers were seriously wounded in battle.

The army later reported that Staff Sergeant Itay Saadon, 22 from Har Haluts, a tank commander in the 401st Brigade, was also killed in action in the northern Gaza Strip. The IDF's death toll has reached 24 since launching its ground offensive in the Palestinian enclave last Friday.

The army also announced that Mustafa Dalul, commander of Hamas's Sabra Tel al-Hawa Battalion, was killed in an Israeli airstrike.

Dalul, who has been actively involved in the war since its onset, played a pivotal role in leading the combat against IDF forces in the Gaza Strip. Over the past few years, Dalul has served in various capacities within Hamas’s battalion and brigade structures in Gaza City.

U.S. officials have confirmed that U.S. surveillance drones have been flying over Gaza in search of hostages taken by Hamas when the Palestinian terror organization attacked Israel.

The two U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the U.S. was flying intelligence-gathering drones over Gaza to assist with hostage location efforts. One of the officials said they had been carrying out the drone flights for over a week.

According to the New York Times, the surveillance drones are mainly focused over the southern part of the Gaza Strip and relay information to the IDF which is operating on the ground in the north.

Pentagon sources confirmed to the Times that this is the first time U.S. drones have operated over Gaza. They clarified that the drones are unarmed and do not support the IDF's offensive operations on the ground.

Elite IDF reconnaissance units, including Haruv, Duchifat, Duvdevan, the Engineering Corps and the Border Police, carried out operations in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank overnight on Friday.

During these operations, an aircraft struck an armed group that had hurled explosives at the troops. Meanwhile, in another clash, terrorists opened fire and lobbed explosives at the forces, who responded with gunfire. Palestinian sources report that these exchanges resulted in four fatalities.

Elsewhere, in the Al-Fawwar camp near Hebron, Israeli forces conducted raids on workshops used as weapon manufacturing sites, where two rioters were shot dead. Additional reports from Palestinian sources indicate that another individual was fatally wounded by IDF gunfire in the Qalandia refugee camp, located to the north of Jerusalem.

Overnight Friday, the IDF struck a Hezbollah terrorist cell in Lebanon and targeted the group's infrastructure following attacks directed at Israeli soil.

An IDF tank fired at a terrorist cell that was attempting to fire anti-tank missiles from Lebanon into the Mount Dov region of Israel. In the incident, one IDF soldier was moderately wounded and a reservist was lightly wounded by an unmanned aerial vehicle. Both soldiers have been evacuated for medical care and their families have been notified.

Hezbollah has released the names of five additional terrorists who were killed in Lebanon, bringing the organization's confirmed number of fatalities to at least 55.

Katai’b Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq, issued a threat to U.S. forces whose bases in the region have been attacked in recent weeks.

"In support of our people in Palestine and as retribution for the martyrs, a new phase in the confrontation with the enemy and its bases in the area will commence next week, a phase that is broader and more severe," the armed group claimed.

Gulf Arab power the United Arab Emirates warned on Friday that there was a real risk of a regional spillover from the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, adding that it was working "relentlessly" to secure a humanitarian cease-fire.

The UAE was the most prominent Arab country to sign the 2020 Abraham Accords, a series of pacts with Israel, which the latter hoped would pave the way to normalization of ties with Muslim superpower Saudi Arabia, but the war dealt those plans a blow.

"As we continue working to stop this war we cannot ignore the wider context and the necessity to turn down the regional temperature that is approaching a boiling point," Noura al-Kaabi, a minister of state for foreign affairs, told a policy conference in the capital, Abu Dhabi.

"The risk of regional spillover and further escalation is real, as well as the risk that extremist groups will take advantage of the situation to advance ideologies that will keep us locked in cycles of violence."

Thailand’s Foreign Ministry said on Friday it is in touch with Iran and other regional governments that can make contact with Hamas for the safe release of nearly two dozen Thai hostages it is holding.

Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara, Thailand's top diplomat who was in the Middle East earlier this week, said Iran was close to Hamas and has promised to help with negotiations.

At least 23 Thai nationals were among more than 240 people taken hostage when Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7 etc and the news story continues click on link below for the full article

Marching Toward Nuclear Armageddon - The U.S. Congress Is Encouraging Biden Regime To Attack Iran Which Is Backed By Both China And Russia

The depopulation crowd should be dancing with joy at the speed the Middle East is drawing multiple nuclear nations into the war between Israel and Iranian proxies, Hamas on one side of Israel, and Hezbollah on the other, while the rest of the world looks on in horror as the march to nuclear Armageddon speeds up.

No matter which side of this war one comes down on, and as seen all across the web, in college campuses, and even the "jihad Squad" in Congress, plenty are on the side of the Hamas terrorists, the overall area of total agreement would be an abhorrence for nuclear war.

As of the first nuke dropped, there will be no coming back from nuclear Armageddon.

I am a firm believer in Israel's right and responsibility to root out all Hamas terrorist members from Gaza after the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, especially after Israel gave multiple warnings for innocent Palestinians in the north to move to the south because Israel was coming in hot.

With that said, I also firmly believe that other than weapons and other logistical support, such as intercepting missiles fired at Israel by Hezbollah, countries, including America, should not be putting boots on the ground, nor should they be threatening other nations with war due to the events on the ground in Israel and Gaza.

The exception to that statement are responses to entities directly attacking American soldiers, such as the recent attacks in Iraq and Syria.

An unidentified security source and a separate, anonymous government source confirmed the incident to Reuters on Tuesday. Islamic Resistance in Iraq said on Monday that it had launched attacks on U.S. troops in northern Syria and western Iraq.

U.S. troops in Syria and Iraq have come under increasing attacks since the outbreak of violence between Hamas and Israel, following the Palestinian group's coordinated attacks on October 7. These bases, and the U.S. military presence there, are intended to fend off a resurgence of ISIS and to combat Iranian influence in the countries.

Events after those attacks show that the Biden regime appears to be intent on going to war with Iran, who is closely allied with both Russia and China.

A quick disclaimer: We are no fans of Iran, a nation where religious leaders, citizens, and Parliament members routinely chant "Death to America." (YouTube video of the Parliament members chanting)

In response to those attacks, Joe Biden order airstrikes in Syria. The message was not for Syria, but rather Syria's puppet master, Iran.

When President Biden issued an order on Thursday for two airstrikes, the targets were in eastern Syria but the intended recipient of the message he was sending was not. Both the weapons depot and the ammunition dump blown up by F-16 jets were linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who defense officials say have employed proxy forces to execute a string of attacks against US bases in the region.

Next, as per law, Biden then sent War Powers notification to Congress after ordering airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.

Then showing there is bipartisan support for this march towards nuclear Armageddon, the House of Representatives just passed Bill Number: H. Res. 559, with 354 yeas, 53 nays, with 25 not voting. 204 Republicans and 150 Democrats voted for the bill.

The bills purpose is stated at Congress.gov is "This resolution declares that it is the policy of the United States (1) to use all means necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and (2) to support the freedom of action of partners and allies to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon."

As no one wants Iran to have nuclear weapons, and with many believing they already do, the timing of this bill's passage, on November 1, 2023, is directly related to the ongoing war in the Middle East.

The reason we question the timing is the bill was originally introduced in the House on June 27, 2023.

The text of the bill can be found at this link, but the concerning portion, which disturbed Rpublican Rep. Thomas Massie enough to vote no and then explain why he did so, is the following lines:

Resolved, That the House of Representatives declares it is the policy of the United States—

(2) that Iran must not be able to obtain a nuclear weapon under any circumstances or conditions;

(3) to use all means necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon; and

(4) to recognize and support the freedom of action of partners and allies, including Israel, to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

"Yesterday Congress passed a resolution (354 to 53) that claims Iran possesses all it needs for a nuclear weapon.

The same resolution says the U.S. should “use all means necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

Now since it is just a resolution, therefore has no real teeth, it is clear by the amount of members of congress, left and right, voted for it, that should the Biden regime declare war on Iran, the House of Representatives will back him and give him all he needs, which would then bring both china and Russia into the mix.

The Senate, which is controlled by Democrats, have many Republicans that will also back a U.S. war against Iran, as Mitch McConnell, the Minority Leader, is already calling Iran, China and Russia the "New axis of evil."

McConnell is yet another example of why we need term limits for congressional members.

Before the attack on Israel by Hamas, and the subsequent declaration of war against Hamas by Israel, Joe Biden, speaking of the war between Russia and Ukraine, declared in 2022 that the risk of nuclear "Armageddon" was at the highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Russia and Ukraine are fighting, with the U.S. sending weapons and more than $100 billion to Ukraine, and other countries sending weapons to Russia, but no other country has actually involved themselves in the war with airstrikes, and intercepting missiles, as the U.S. has done with Israel, while Hamas is backed by Iran, and Iran backed by Russia and China.

Given the increased threats of nuclear weapons being used now compared to 2022 when Biden made is statement, the situation is far more volatile now than it was then.

Another indicator that the U.S. is already in the beginning stages of World War III, is comments from Hezbollah leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, controlled by Iran, states that he hold the U.S. responsible for the ongoing Israel/Hamas war.

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah held the US ‘entirely responsible’ for the ongoing war in Gaza on Friday and dubbed Israel ‘frail’. During a televised speech he also said that the militant group was ‘prepared for all options’ and threatened an escalation. The remarks came even as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv. Nasrallah said that his militia was engaged in unprecedented cross-border fighting with Israel as the other country's troops closed in on the Gaza Strip.

It is my personal belief that the Biden regime is using the Israel/Hamas war to finally take Iran off the chessboard of those with nuclear capabilities, and as I said above, while I am not a fan of Iran at all, with China and Russia at Iran's back, this will lead to nuclear Armageddon.

The new global war comes as a series of intertwined conflicts rather than a single, major one, Fyodor Lukyanov believes Smoke rises from explosions during rocket strikes in Gaza on October 28, 2023 as seen from Sderot, Israel. © Getty Images / Dan Kitwood

The Third World War is already underway, Fyodor Lukyanov, Russia’s leading foreign policy expert, has said. A world order that has been “unpleasant” but “manageable” is being broken down and currently there seems to be no mechanism for the resolution of conflicts, including the ongoing escalation between Israel and Hamas, he believes.

Lukyanov, who is chairman of the presidium at think tank Council for Foreign and Defense Policy (SVOP) and editor-in-chief of magazine Russia in Global Affairs, made the remarks in an interview published last week by newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda.

Of late, the world has been seen old, frozen conflicts getting re-ignited, Lukyanov said, listing as examples the Nagorno-Karabakh hostilities, the Russia-Ukraine standoff and the new escalation in the Middle East.

The ongoing array of conflicts is effectively the new World War, which appears to significantly differ from the two global conflicts of the 20th century, Lukyanov, who is also a research director of the Valdai International Discussion Club, suggested.

There is a chain of conflicts affecting the whole world. In fact, World War III is already underway. In this sense, it is still better than the wars that happened in the 20th century, but there is little joy.

“We instinctively expect that the war will begin just like the Great War or the [Second World War]. But such wars probably won’t happen anymore – after all, there are nuclear weapons, which are still holding back many,” the expert said.

The escalation in the Middle East is not the last conflict to come, with more hostilities expected to break out worldwide soon – and no one seems to be capable now of stopping them, he also warned.

“The international order is breaking down. It was an unpleasant one, based on the fear of mutual destruction, but manageable. Wars in the Middle East have erupted before, but the USSR and the USA intervened and extinguished them until the next conflict. And now I don’t see even a temporary settlement mechanism,” Lukyanov said. He noted that the Palestinian militant group Hamas has apparently picked the “right” moment to strike against Israel, given that the country has experienced “permanent internal chaos” for over a year already.

Bolivia Breaks Diplomatic Relations with Israel; Colombia and Chile' RECALL Ambassadors

Israel's grotesque military aggression against unarmed civilians in the Gaza Strip continues to have international repercussions. Yesterday, Bolivia severed Diplomatic relations with Israel. Colombia and Chile' have recalled their Ambassadors to Israel for consultations about continued Diplomatic relations.

United Nations officials inside the Gaza Strip said yesterday that "Almost 70% of the victims are women and children. This cannot be called "Collateral Damage" - implying that the results are what Israel is actually trying to do; kill women and children.

In Belgium, transport unions are now refusing to load and unload weapons going to Israel (both via ports and airports) and call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

The Minister of Social Rights in Spain, Ione Belarra, has called for the International Criminal Court in to prosecute Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, labeling him a war criminal.

The country of Turkiye', via its President, Recypt Erdogan, said yesterday "The Israeli administration, relying on the unconditional support of Europe and America, has been committing crimes against humanity in front of the whole world for exactly 25 days. The international press is also silent and seeking coverage for Israel." He finished by revealing "Turkey will take legal action against Israel at the International Criminal Court."

China has even gone so far as to REMOVE “ISRAEL” from its online maps, including Baidu and Alibaba! When you click on Jerusalem, it says "Jerusalem, Palestine."

The US and Israel are exploring the possibility of a multinational force governing Gaza if Israeli forces succeed in ousting Hamas, people familiar with the matter say told Bloomberg Business News.

A second option would establish a peacekeeping force modeled on one that oversees a 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty, while a third would see Gaza put under temporary United Nations oversight.

Another option would grant temporary oversight to Gaza to countries from the region, backed by troops from the US, UK, Germany and France. Ideally, it would also include representation from Arab nations such as Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates, the people said – Bloomberg

There are also reports that Egypt is considering a deal proposed by Israel that would allow for the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza to Sinai in exchange for the cancelation of a significant portion of Egypt's foreign debt.

While the word is reeling from the horrifying things being done by Israel in the Gaza Strip, and while wars and rumors of wars grow, Israel did the unthinkable last night.

At 5:54 PM EDT -- The Israeli cabinet decided to expand its military operations throughout the West Bank.

Yes, you read that correctly. It now appears Israel intends to do to the West Bank, what they are also doing to the Gaza Strip.

Infantry troops have managed to seize key command posts and training facilities that had been used by the Hamas over the years to plot attacks on Israel.

As Israel's ground offensive into the Gaza Strip completed its second day on Tuesday, the IDF announced that troops have managed to take control of a Hamas stronghold and eliminated 50 terrorists over the past 24 hours.

In addition, IDF and armored units under the Givati Brigade command operated in the past day in a military stronghold of the Hamas terror organization in northern Gaza, where the Jabalia city is located. Simultaneously, ground forces throughout the Gaza Strip continue their counterterrorism activities.

The military stronghold served as the training ground for the Hamas Jabalia Battalion's preparations for terrorist actions. It includes training facilities for shooting and a network of terrorist tunnels, which are used, among other things, for the terrorists' passage to the coast. The site was also replete with arms.

During the combat, the forces engaged in battles with terrorists and eliminated many of them. Aircraft also eliminated other terrorists. Forces on the ground located and destroyed tunnel openings, weapon systems, and military equipment. In addition, fighters in the area discovered intelligence material.

I’d guess most of you are familiar with “memes,” which come across social media sites and emails. These have become very popular in recent years, because of peoples’ short attention spans. They feature a photograph or other image, and just a few words that get a message across succinctly and quickly.

Often times, “memes” are meant to be humorous. Other times ironic. And other times sarcastic or sardonic. But the idea is to put out an image that gets one’s attention, and overlay it with a short phrase to make a point quickly.

While it’s sad that so few people are now willing to take the time to read a ten- or fifteen-minute article in full, I’ve come to realize that “memes” can play an important role in this age of instant information sharing.

So, in today’s message, I’d like to share a few that I’ve found particularly poignant. I will share these with you, in no particular order, and hope they provide some food for thought. I won’t be making any comments on these, as they tend to speak for themselves.

First, we have an image of Rod Serling, who hosted the old “Twilight Zone” television series. The message on this one is: “Imagine a vaccine so safe you have to be threatened to take it, for a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know you have it.”

The next one is just text on a plain background. It reads, “Everything is backwards right now. We are private citizens. The government should know nothing about us. They are public servants. We should know everything about them.”

Next, we have an image of a weeping Statue of Liberty and the words, “Whatever happens next, do not comply!”

Then, a graphic showing a young David, standing in the enormous shadow of Goliath. The text on this one reads, “The Lord fought for David, but he still had to show up on the battlefield.”

Another “meme” that struck me as an important reminder says, “When you tell someone that you will pray for them, you have made a promise to speak to God on their behalf. Those are serious words, not to be taken lightly. Someone is counting on you.”

And as many Americans are once again buying into the COVID lies of a new “variant,” there’s this “meme” with an image of a dog wearing a muzzle and a young woman wearing a blue paper mask. The text simply states a plain fact: “Obedience Training.”

Then, there’s another one with no photograph, but simply text that reads, “Pedophilia is not a sexual preference. Bugs are not food. mRNA injections are not vaccines. Men are not women. The ‘news’ is not real. Climate change is not a threat. The government is not your friend.”

The next one I’d like to share gives some interesting information from our recent history. It states, “Andrew Breitbart supposedly died of ‘natural causes’ by collapsing on March 1, 2012 after threatening to release videos on Barack Obama because Obama was never properly vetted in the 2008 election. He stated that ‘The videos will greatly affect the 2012 election and I will release them just before November.’ A couple weeks later, the coroner who worked on his body, mysteriously died by poisoning.”

Then we have this: “Only in America can you murder a child at birth but go to jail if you spank them. Liberalism is a mental disorder.”

And this: “Military age illegals let in by Biden now outnumber our USA military 6 to 1.”

The next one may be border-line “off color,” but I believe it makes an important statement regarding the wokeness of our sick society today. It features a photograph of the morbidly obese United States assistant secretary for health, Rachel, formerly Richard Levine — the first openly “transgender” federal official in the US that required Senate confirmation. Along with the photo of Levine, the “meme” simply says, “a health reminder to all Liberal women — it’s time for your annual prostate check.”

Here’s one that speaks to modern American priorities. A photograph of astronaut Buzz Aldren with the words: “Went to the moon. Took five photos.” Next to that is an image of a college-age young woman taking a “selfie,” which reads: “Went to the bathroom. Took 37 photos.”

Turning Point USA posted one with four photos. The first depicts an image of one of America’s inner-city neighborhoods, quite likely Dearborn, Michigan. The buildings and streets are in shambles, and it reads, “Your city on Socialism.” Next is a photo of a hospital room in a third-world country, filthy dirty in deplorable condition and the text says, “Your hospital on Socialism.” Then an image of empty grocery store shelves and the words, “Your grocery store on Socialism.” And finally, an image of a huge, lavish mansion with a beautifully manicured lawn. This one declares, “Your politician on Socialism.”

Another one, showing rows of empty shelves in a Walmart-type setting has the headline: “Socialism For Dummies,” and the explanation: “Everything is free...but we’re all out of it.”

Moving on with our “memes,” the heading of this next one just asks, “Awake Yet?” Then there’s a timeline, as follows: “1960s — oil gone in ten years....1970s — another ice age in ten years...1980s — acid rain will destroy all crops in ten years...1990s — the ozone layer will be gone in ten years...2000 — ice caps will be gone in ten years.” Then the words, “NONE HAPPENED, but all resulted in more taxes.”

Another good reminder comes in the following “meme.” It features an image of “The Sword of the Spirit” and includes the admonition: “Never worry about who will be offended if you speak the truth. Worry about who will be misled and deceived if you don’t.”

Another appropriate meme for our time shows a mother and daughter having a conversation. The daughter asks, “Mom, what is a ‘contradiction?’” And the mother responds, “Believing that 18-year-olds couldn’t understand their student loans, but 7-year-olds can choose their gender.”

This next one shows a row of limos being driven off a jumbo jet with the words, “Never forget, the world’s elite put million-dollar limousines on billion dollar jets to fly around the world to tell you to reduce your carbon footprint.”

Another “meme” gets to the basics quickly as well. This one says, “The bankers will ensure wee stay in debt. The pharmaceutical companies will ensure we stay sick. The weapons manufacturers will ensure we keep going to war. The media will ensure we are prevented from knowing the truth. The government will ensure all of this is done ‘legally.’”

And yet another states, “Insanity is when illegal refugees get $4000 a month in federal assistance while social security checks average $1200 a month.”

Then there is an image of a man sleeping soundly on a couch. The statement above his head reads “Typical American.” Meanwhile, the other end of the couch has burst into flames and that reads “America.”

And another warning we should all take careful note of. An image of a battalion of military troops, all from foreign countries, and all wearing blue “UN” helmets. The caption says, “When you see this, it will be too late.”

Hearkening back to the year 2020, we have an image of people at a nearly empty airport terminal, all dutifully standing six feet apart. The next photo in this “meme” comes with the words “thirty minutes later...” and shows a commercial plane crammed full of people, packed in like sardines.

Here’s a little more history for you in the form of a “meme.” It states, “When Rome was falling, they constantly hyped circuses to distract citizens. Remember that when you see sports on every station, and all are watching videos on iPhones.”

Another statement: “Our leaders and not incompetent. They’re not stupid either. They’re communists. You know that, right?”

Another “meme” shows an image of a young woman along with the words, “I went to Planned Parenthood to see if they could help me plan for being a parent...turns out they don’t do that.”

This next one is a little sarcastic, but again, offers food for thought, for those willing to think independently. It’s an image of a young man getting the latest ‘COVID’ jab, and he’s asking, “What variant does this protect me against?” The nurse administering the shot replies, “You’re actually helping transgender Ukrainians fight global warming.”

Then we have one with an image of a man next to an image of a woman. The text reads, “According to science and religion, there are only two genders. Males have 1 X and 1 Y chromosome and females have 2 X chromosomes.” Then some Scripture, “In the day that God created man, He made him in His own likeness. Male and female He created them, and He blessed them....(Genesis 5:1-2).” And it closes with the words “Nothing will ever change this.”

And one last one I’d like to share. Text only, which reads, “Nobody who votes for open borders wants to live with illegals in their neighborhood. Nobody who votes for defunding the police is willing to walk at night without them. Nobody who votes for ‘equity’ quotas would use a ‘diversity-hire’ as a surgeon. Wokeness ends when we force them to live with the consequences of their policies.”

I realize this message is “all over the place,” covering many topics and issues. I also know that the “memes” I have shared here do not delve very deeply into the subjects they talk about.

Being a reader and researcher myself, I often must delve deeply into many lengthy articles, lectures, video clips and alternative media sources to dig out the truth of an issue I’m writing or speaking about. So, I understand that to get to the real truth in today’s culture of censorship and deliberate disinformation, with the truth being banned in the mainstream media, by government and private organizations — just about everywhere you look, really — takes a great deal of time.

In my work, I do my best to dig through all that and present messages that distill all the vital information down to one coherent article. Many appreciate that I do that. But others still won’t bother to read something if it takes more than a minute. For many today, one minute is the maximum length of their attention span.

Thus, we live in a world where “memes” can convey an important message in the fastest way possible. I hope that some of these things at least cause people to pause for a moment and think and question the “official narratives” that fill the atmosphere these days. A lot of truth can often be conveyed with just one picture and a handful of words, but to really gain knowledge, wisdom and understanding takes longer, more effort and the willingness to be a little bit better than “just average.”

Tense moment Chinese fighter jet 'comes close to COLLIDING' with American B-52 bomber by just TEN FEET over South China Sea, sparking US fury

The revelation, offered by the US Indo-Pacific Command, comes as part of what officials have billed as increasingly risky behavior by Chinese military aircraft

The military blasted both the pilot and maneuver, saying it unnecessarily put the pilots at risk - citing footage that shows the jet coming within feet of the plane

The People's Republic of China pilot then 'flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner, demonstrated poor airmanship by... flying below, in front of' the plane

The US military has revealed that a Chinese jet came dangerously close to a US bomber earlier this week over the South China Sea.

The revelation, offered by the US Indo-Pacific Command in a statement Thursday, comes as part of what American officials have described as increasingly risky behavior by Chinese military aircraft.

The US military blasted both the pilot and maneuver, saying that it unnecessarily put both pilots at risk - citing footage that shows the Chinese J-11 jet coming within 10 feet of the B-52 aircraft Tuesday.

Officials also said the U.S. Air Force B-52 had been lawfully conducting routine missions over international waters in the South China Sea when the Chinese jet identified approached 'at excessive speed.'

The People's Republic of China pilot then 'flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner, demonstrated poor airmanship by... flying below, in front of, and within 10 feet of the B-52, putting both aircraft in danger of collision,' the statement said.

We are concerned this pilot was unaware of how close he came to causing a collision,' officials said - indicating the incident was likely an accident.

Earlier this month, the Pentagon said Chinese military aircraft have carried out maneuvers close to US planes nearly 200 times since 2021 - fueling already heightened tensions between Beijing and Washington.

Just last week, China's defense ministry shot back at those claims, insisting in a statement that the Pentagon's criticism of its aerial intercepts was a premeditated smear on China - one with ulterior political motives.

Relations between China and the United States have already been tense, and the recent close-calls have not helped.

The friction between the world's two largest economies - over everything from Taiwan and China's human rights record to its military activity in the South China Sea - has threatened to end the nations' tempestuous relationship altogether, and multiple wars currently raging overseas have added to the unrest

That said, Washington has still expressed a desire to revive military-to-military communications with China.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi began a long-anticipated visit to Washington Thursday, as the US and China seek to manage deep strategic differences and pave the way for an expected summit between President Joe Biden and his counterpart Xi Jinping.

Yesterday, during a dinner at the White House, Biden warned visiting Australian prime minister Anthony Anthony Albanese to be cautious trusting China - as Australia also seeks to repair relations with the communist nation.

The President made the comments during Albanese's visit to Washington DC this week, days before the Prime Minister visits Beijing.

Biden was asked at a joint press conference with Albanese if he believed Australia should trust China given its history with economic sanctions, cyber-attacks, surveillance and human rights abuses.

'China's economic growth is stagnant compared to what it was. China has engaged in activities, that Russia and many others have engaged in, in terms of intimidation with other countries.'

Biden also warned China about its recent harassment of Philippine vessels in the South China Sea.

'Any attack on Filipino aircraft, vessels or armed forces will invoke our mutual defense treaty with the Philippines,' he said.

'I want to be very clear. The United States defense commitment to the Philippines is ironclad.'

In 2021, President Biden established a trilateral security alliance named AUKUS, involving Australia and Britain.

This partnership allows the United States to provide Australia with nuclear technology, which will be used to power traditionally armed Australian submarines.

'When...we put together the deal, I was asked by Xi Jinping were we just trying to surround China. I said, 'No, we're not surrounding China. We're just making sure that the sea lanes remain open.'

US fighter jets strike Iran-linked sites in retaliation for attacks on US troops

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. fighter jets launched airstrikes early Friday on two locations in eastern Syria linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Pentagon said, in retaliation for a slew of drone and missile attacks against U.S. bases and personnel in the region that began early last week.

The U.S. strikes reflect the Biden administration’s determination to maintain a delicate balance. The U.S. wants to hit Iranian-backed groups suspected of targeting the U.S. as strongly as possible to deter future aggression, possibly fueled by Israel’s war against Hamas, while also working to avoid inflaming the region and provoking a wider conflict.

According to a senior U.S. military official, the precision strikes were carried out near Boukamal by two F-16 fighter jets, and they struck weapons and ammunition storage areas that were connected to the IRGC. The official said there had been Iranian-aligned militia and IRGC personnel on the base and no civilians, but the U.S. does not have any information yet on casualties or an assessment of damage. The official would not say how many munitions were launched by the F-16s.

A senior defense official said the sites were chosen because the IRGC stores the types of munitions there that were used in the strikes against U.S. bases and troops. The two officials briefed reporters after the strikes on condition of anonymity to provide details on the mission that had not yet been made public.

According to the Pentagon, there have now been at least 19 attacks on U.S. bases and personnel in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17, including three new ones Thursday. Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said 21 U.S. personnel were injured in two of those assaults that used drones to target al-Asad Airbase in Iraq and al-Tanf Garrison in Syria.

In a statement, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the “precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17.”

He said President Joe Biden directed the narrowly tailored strikes “to make clear that the United States will not tolerate such attacks and will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests.” And he added that the operation was separate and distinct from Israel’s war against Hamas.

The senior defense official told reporters that the F-16 airstrikes will have a significant impact on the ability of Iranian proxy groups to continue to attack U.S. forces. Asked what groups were targeted, the official said there are several that can have different names, but the U.S. holds Tehran responsible for funding, arming, equipping and directing the proxies. The official said the airstrikes were not designed to expand the conflict in the region, but to compel Iran to direct the militia groups to cease the attacks on American bases and personnel.

The Biden administration has not accused Iran of having a direct role in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and has said it appears so far that Tehran was not aware of it beforehand. But the U.S. has noted that Iran has long supported Hamas and has raised concerns that Iran and its proxies could turn the conflict into a wider war.

Austin said the U.S. does not seek a broader conflict, but if Iranian proxy groups continue, the U.S. won’t hesitate to take additional action to protect its forces.

According to the Pentagon, all the U.S. personnel hurt in the militant attacks received minor injuries and all returned to duty. In addition, a contractor suffered a cardiac arrest and died while seeking shelter from a possible drone attack.

The retaliatory strikes came as no surprise. Officials at the Pentagon and the White House have made it clear for the past week that the U.S. would respond, with Ryder saying again Thursday that it would be “at the time and place of our choosing.”

“I think we’ve been crystal clear that we maintain the inherent right of defending our troops and we will take all necessary measures to protect our forces and our interests overseas,” he told reporters during a Pentagon briefing earlier in the day.

Biden said Wednesday that he had warned Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, that if Tehran continues to “move against” U.S. forces in the Middle East, “we will respond.”

The latest spate of strikes by the Iranian-linked groups came in the wake of a deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital, triggering protests in a number of Muslim nations. The Israeli military has relentlessly attacked Gaza in retaliation for the devastating Hamas rampage in southern Israel nearly three weeks ago, but Israel has denied responsibility for the al-Ahli hospital blast and the U.S. has said its intelligence assessment found that Tel Aviv was not to blame.

The U.S., including the Pentagon, has repeatedly said any strike response by America would be directly tied to the attacks on the troops, and not connected to the war between Israel and Hamas. Such retaliation and strikes against Iranian targets in Syria after similar attacks on U.S. bases are routine.

In March, for example, the U.S. struck sites in Syria used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard after an Iranian-linked attack killed a U.S. contractor and wounded seven other Americans in northeast Syria. American F-15 fighter jets flying out of al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar struck several locations around Deir el-Zour.

U.S. officials have routinely stressed that the American response is designed to be proportional, and is aimed at deterring strikes against U.S. personnel who are focused on the fight against the Islamic State group.

U.S. officials have not publicly tied the recent string of attacks in Syria and Iraq to the violence in Gaza, but Iranian officials have openly criticized the U.S. for providing weapons to Israel that have been used to strike Gaza, resulting in civilian death.

The Pentagon, meanwhile, has beefed up air defenses in the region to protect U.S. forces. The U.S. has said it is sending several batteries of Patriot missile systems, a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and additional fighter jets.

The THAAD is being sent from Fort Bliss, Texas, and the Patriot batteries are from Fort Liberty in North Carolina and Fort Sill in Oklahoma. An Avenger air defense system from Fort Liberty is also being sent.

Officials have said as much as two battalions of Patriots are being deployed. A battalion can include at least three Patriot batteries, which each have six to eight launchers.

Ryder said Thursday that about 900 troops have deployed or are in the process of going to the Middle East region, including those associated with the air defense systems.

I have had my hand of protection upon America but no more. I am going to shake America like never before. I will lift my hand of protection for a little while. Remember nine one one and what happened when my hand was lifted? What is to come is far worse than that. I have sat back and watched as my word has been removed from your schools. Your children know nothing of me. I have watched while your government has removed my commandments from their walls. They have promoted a life style forbidden by me. I have said in my word man shall not lie with man and women with women this is an abomination. You have opened up your military, they are dancing in the streets, they are thumbing their noses and saying we are here we will take over. I will not allow this to go on any longer without discipline. I love you America but you need to be shaken. etc

I love reading the book Proverbs, one chapter a day corresponding to the day of the month. This has been a part of my morning quiet times for many years. Even though the passages are familiar with many verses underlined, the Lord often provides new insights.

One truth that He repeatedly impresses on my heart is this: His wisdom comes to us via the words recorded on the pages of Scripture. There’s an unmistakable connection between Proverbs 2:6 and 2 Timothy 3:16. The latter literally reads, “All Scripture is breathed out by God,” while Solomon wrote, “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

It’s the words of wisdom, personified in the person of Jesus, which communicate truths to us through what we read in God’s Word. Whether it’s the Gospel or any other belief, we depend upon the words of Scripture for truth rather than our own intuition or reasoning.

I do so because many believers do not understand how the words of Scripture relate to the perils we face today as our world teeters on the brink of a devastating war. At a time when pastors should be providing a biblical context for what’s happening in Israel and encouraging their flock with the hope of Jesus’ appearing, many remain woefully silent.

The sad result is that a great many saints remain unprepared for what might happen next. They never hear how the signs of the approaching Tribulation signal the nearness of Jesus’ appearing to take them home to glory.

As a major war in the Middle East appears increasingly inevitable, believers not only need to understand its prophetic context, but also its implications for their future.

The various false teachings that have arisen because of the wide acceptance of amillennialism have obscured the following truths needed to understand the perils of the world in which we live.

Those who don’t understand or believe God’s promises to Israel might think that the expanding conflict in the Middle East is just like any other war, such as the one in Ukraine. “Yes, the savagery of the Iran proxy Hamas was grievous and heart-wrenching,” someone might say, “but the resulting war has no ramifications for believers today.” Such sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth. This war is not like the others.

The prophetic implications of what’s now happening to Israel are staggering. We also know that this is just the beginning of Israel’s struggle for survival, which will likely last until the start of the seven-year tribulation and then flare up again at its midpoint as Satan renews his hatred for the Jewish people with the deadly rage of the antichrist.

Satan inspired the barbaric attacks of October 7, 2023, as a part of his agenda to prevent Jesus from returning to a repentant Israel at His Second Coming. Jesus said the Jewish community in Jerusalem would someday welcome Him with the words, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord” (Matthew 23:39). The devil will fail, of course, in his effort to stop the fulfillment of our Lord’s words, but that won’t stop him from attempting to stop his millennial reign over a fully restored Israel.

This isn’t just another war. It not only has tremendous prophetic significance, but also warns us of what might happen in many other places, including the US. IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari recently stated that “Hamas is at war against humanity, not just Israel.”

Pastor Brandon Holthaus, in his October 15, 2023, sermon, said that in reality, “Israel is fighting for us.” I took his words to imply that if Israel’s war against Gaza fails to eliminate the Hamas threat, it will embolden these barbaric terrorists to conduct similar atrocities in America and other places. We must pray for Israel, its people, and its war effort.

A second false belief that arises from not allowing the words of Scripture to speak for themselves is the teaching that the Land no longer belongs to the people of Israel and hence the “Palestinians” have just as much of a right to it. That is not what God’s Word tells us.

The Bible says that God’s promise of the Land to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is an “everlasting covenant” (1 Chronicles 16:14-18; Psalm 105:7-11). If the word “everlasting” has a finite time limit on it such that it has now expired, what does that imply for those of us who trust God’s promise of “eternal life?”

Furthermore, the initial promise of the Land to Abram was completely unconditional; God alone pledged to fulfill this covenant while the Patriarch slept (Genesis 15:12-21). Israel’s continued enjoyment of the Land has always been conditional, but not their ultimate right to it, which the Lord guarantees.

Taken at face value, the message of the Old Testament prophets is clear: the Land still belongs to Israel and nations that seek to divide it will suffer greatly as a result of God’s wrath.

Amillennialists assert that the descendants of Jacob are no longer God’s chosen people. They mistakenly claim that the church is now the Lord’s kingdom on earth and the recipient of His promises to Israel, albeit in a spiritual sense. This is not what the Bible teaches us.

Furthermore, such teaching, over time, breeds anti-Semitism or, at a minimum, ambivalence for the fate of the Jewish people. Always.

Augustine, the theologian who popularized the amillennial denial of a future kingdom for Israel, was motivated by his hatred for the Jews. This same spiteful attitude kept both Luther and Calvin from applying their principles of the literal interpretation of Scripture to unfulfilled prophecy. As a result, church history is full of tragic examples of how amillennialism fueled murderous hatred for the Jews.

Churches in denominations that have long embraced the various forms of amillennialism are now rallying in support of the Palestinian cause while seeming to ignore Hamas’ barbarism. They overlook the fact that those now attacking Israel don’t want peace, but rather the annihilation of God’s special chosen people.

I have noticed a confusing pattern among amillennial pastors in the U.S. Along with denying what the Bible says about the Tribulation and the signs of its approach, they also appear oblivious to God’s impending judgment on America. The same veil that keeps many from recognizing the convergence of signs also blinds them to the biblical warnings that reveal God’s intention to judge the nations for their wickedness.

I hear it in their preaching and read it in their church’s statements of faith. It’s always the same message, which says the next time the Lord directly intervenes in human history will be at His Second Coming just prior to the eternal state. By pushing all judgment to the end of the age, they fail to recognize or believe the repeated warnings concerning the Day of the Lord’s wrath. God will punish the wickedness of the U.S. and other nations long before the end of the age.

As shepherds of God’s people, today’s church leaders have a solemn responsibility to provide the saints with an understanding of how today’s world relates to the end times as well as to encourage them with the glory that awaits them at Jesus’ appearing (1 Corinthians 15:47-54, Philippians 3:20-21; Colossians 3:4). These passage clearly reveal that Jesus will give us immortal and incorruptible bodies at His appearing. Confidence in our glorious hope comes from believing the words the Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle Paul to write concerning the Rapture.

Sadly, most believers in the U.S. remain unprepared for what might happen in the near future and unaware that God will surely judge our nation for its intent to divide the Land of Israel as well as for its financial support of those that seek to destroy the Jewish people. Just this past week, our president rewarded Hamas by pledging to send them one hundred million dollars.

There are many, many reasons why I reject amillennialism and the spiritualization, or allegorization, of Scripture upon which it’s based. Proverbs 2, 4, and 8-9 may not be at the top of that list, but for me, they confirm that we must take the words of Scripture in the way that the authors intended.

Although it’s been quite costly to me personally, I must continue to speak out against the retrofitting of the words of Scripture to fit a human-based agenda that falsely asserts that Israel no longer has a place in God’s prophetic agenda. This is human wisdom than the understanding that comes from believing the words of prophecy throughout both the Old and New Testament.

The words of Scripture provide the prophetic context for what’s happening in Israel. It’s message assures us of the following:

The rising tensions in the Middle East have prophetic implications and may very well have an impact on our future security.

The Land belongs to Israel, and God will surely restore a glorious kingdom to its people at His Second Coming.

The Lord will surely preserve His chosen people, but the path between now and the restoration of the kingdom to them will be one of much suffering.

Despite the increasing unpopularity of this message in many Bible-believing churches, the Tribulation is rapidly approaching. Both the prophets of old and the Apostle John clearly reveal that the Lord will someday directly intervene in human history to judge the wickedness, lawlessness, brutality, and violence of our world.

However, before God’s wrath descends upon the nations, Jesus will appear, give the New Testament saints of all the ages incorruptible bodies, and take us to His Father’s house in glory (John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:47-55, Colossians 3:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11).

Our “blessed hope” (Titus 2:11-14) is not some far off wrap up of human history that denies what the Bible says about all the intervening events such as the Rapture, Tribulation, and Jesus’ thousand-year reign over the nation upon the throne of David. No, it consists of the sure hope that our Lord’s intervention in human history via the Rapture, which will surely happen as Jesus will take us to His Father’s house in glorified bodies.

When then-FBI Director Robert Mueller testified in the House Judiciary Committee on May 9, 2012, Republican Rep. Elton Gallegly of California asked him about the threat of terrorists entering the United States by crossing the Southern border.

"First of all, as it relates to our Southwest border," said Gallegly, "do you see any growing evidence of al-Qaida or any other terrorist organization working to exploit our border with the attempt of launching another terrorist attack on our own soil?"

Mueller indicated he was more concerned about Hezbollah doing that than al-Qaeda.

"As to the Southwest border and al-Qaida, we have not seen an increase of effort by al-Qaida to come across the Southwest border," said Mueller. "On the other hand, when you open the question up to other terrorist groups, I would say that we have a continuing concern about Iranian influence, actors and Hezbollah."

In fact, Mueller had testified in the Senate Committee on Intelligence on Feb. 16, 2005, about a Hezbollah fundraiser from Lebanon who had been discovered in Michigan. "In 2004," Mueller said in a statement to the committee, "we had some success in uncovering individuals providing material support to Hezbollah.

"In Detroit, Mahmoud Youssef Kourani was indicted in the Eastern District of Michigan on one count of Conspiracy to Provide Material Support to Hezbollah," Mueller said. "Kourani was already in custody for entering the country illegally through Mexico and was involved in fundraising activities on behalf of Hezbollah."

A staff report on "9/11 and Terrorist Travel" published in 2004 by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States provided information about a smuggler who smuggled "Lebanese nationals sympathetic to Hamas and Hezbollah into the United States."

"In July 2001," said the report, "the CIA warned of a possible link between human smugglers and terrorist groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Indeed, there is evidence to suggest that since 1999 human smugglers have facilitated the travel of terrorists associated with more than a dozen extremist groups."

"One smuggler, Salim Boughader-Mucharrafille," said the report, "smuggled Lebanese nationals sympathetic to Hamas and Hezbollah into the United States and relied on corrupt Mexican officials in Beirut, Mexico City and Tijuana to facilitate their travel. Specifically, Boughader obtained Mexican tourist visas from an official at the Mexican embassy in Beirut to facilitate the travel of humans to Mexico."

"Boughader was charged with human smuggling and sentenced to 11 months in prison," said the report. "After serving his sentence he was deported to Mexico where he was arrested along with several other members of his smuggling ring."

"In May 2006," the Congressional Research Service reported in 2007, "a Mexican judge reportedly sentenced Boughader-Mucharrafille to fourteen years in prison for his role in the smuggling ring and on organized crime charges."

So, after discovering that "Lebanese nationals sympathetic to Hamas and Hezbollah" had been smuggled into the United States from Mexico, did the United States secure its southern border?

Over each of the past four years, Customs and Border Protection has encountered an increasing number of individuals on the "Terrorist Screening Dataset" trying to sneak into the United States between the ports of entry on the Mexican border. This dataset, according to CBP, includes "known or suspected terrorists" and "additional individuals who represent a potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watchlisted individuals."

In fiscal 2019, as this column has noted before, CBP did not encounter a single individual on this terrorist watchlist trying to sneak across the Mexican border. In 2020, it encountered 3. In 2021, it encountered 15. In 2022, it encountered 98.

This February, the State Department issued its "Country Reports on Terrorism 2021." What did it say about Hezbollah?

"Lebanon-based and Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah continued its long history of activity in the Western Hemisphere, including fundraising by its supporters and financiers in places like the tri-border area, where the borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet," said the State Department. "Hezbollah supporters generate funding through licit and illicit activity and donate undetermined amounts to Hezbollah in Lebanon, which uses the funds to advance its broader agenda. In recent years, Hezbollah supporters and members have been identified in Chile, Colombia, Panama, Peru and the United States."

Jennie Taer of the Daily Caller News Foundation (where this writer is investigative editor) published a report this week that Customs and Border Protection had issued a memo on Oct. 20 warning that "(f)oreign fighters" from the Middle East might try to enter the United States from Mexico.

"San Diego Field Office Intelligence Unit (SDFO-FITU) assesses that individuals inspired by, or reacting to, the current Israel-Hamas conflict may attempt travel to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East via circuitous transit across the Southwest border," said the memo.

"Foreign fighters motivated by ideology or mercenary soldiers of fortune may attempt to obfuscate travel to or from the U.S. to or from countries in the Middle East through Mexico."

So, how many Hezbollah -- or Hamas -- terrorists are in the United States today? Since our southern border is not secure and many people cross it illegally every day, our federal government has no way of knowing.

The ongoing war" between Hamas and Israel is causing all sorts of collateral trouble around the world. None if it is getting better; all of it is getting worse.

This morning, President Recypt Erdogan of Turkiye' said publicly "Hamas is not a terrorist organization. It is a group of mujahideen fighting to protect their lands."

He talked about the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza and then said "Israel will not achieve anything by raining bombs on children' irrespective of 'whether the US is behind you or not'" and pointed out "O Israel, this West owes you a lot, but Turkey does not!"

Then, shockingly, Erdogan said "We will do everything against Israel, diplomatically and militarily if necessary." He then canceled energy deals between Turkiye' and Israel, and also canceled a scheduled trip to Israel.

Ominously, Erdogan also said "When the powers that they rely on today, are gone tomorrow, the first place that the Israeli people will look for trust and mercy will be Turkey, just like 500 years ago."

He finished by offering a sort of Olive Branch by saying "We are ready to be one of the guarantors of the Palestinian side with our humanitarian, political and military presence. We invite countries with the will to evaluate our offer."

(Hal Turner Remark: I spoke this morning to several of my former colleagues from my years working with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and more than one told me "Don't you see, it's just a matter of time before every single Muslim nation sides against Israel, Erdogan's speech is a signal, the global war is about to begin.")

Elsewhere, referring to the 2.3 Million people in the Gaza Strip, the Prime Minister of Qatar said publicly today "Cutting water, electricity, food, and medicine from civilians is 'unacceptable.'"

Libya officially EJECTED the Ambassadors from the US, UK, Italy, and France . Libya accused these countries of supporting the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Libya also called for a halt to oil and gas exports to countries that support Israel.

In Yemen, the leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement announced Yemen is ready to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to fight alongside Palestinians.

Jordan's King Abdullah today told French President Emmanuel Macron that ending the war in Gaza was an urgent necessity and warned that there could otherwise be an "explosion" in the region.

At the United Nations in New York, even the Secretary General spoke against what Israel is doing, saying "Even in war, there are rules."

Earlier this month, Speaking at a UN general debate on the Middle East in New York, Guterres created fury when he said: "It is important to … recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation."

In response to those remarks, Israel announced today it is banning United Nations representatives from visiting the country "to teach them a lesson."

Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei publicly said this morning "The Zionist regime has suffered a decisive blow. It has been wounded and is crippled. The West is struggling to keep it on its feet using weapons and bombs." He added "Palestine will definitely be victorious."

Khamenei went on to say "The Zionist regime is taking revenge on defenseless Palestinian people, children, and women because it was incapable of confronting the Muslim fighters, and it will also be incapable in the future." He added "The United States is complicit in the attacks on women and children."

With the US re-deploying the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier and its Strike Group toward the Persian Gulf, Iran is deploying missile and drone units of the army and the Revolutionary Guards on the shores of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

Ali Fadavi, IRGC deputy commander-in-chief made a remark publicly this morning which has caught the attention of American military planners.

He said "We have technologies in the military field that no one knows about, and the Americans will know about them when we use them."

On Tuesday, a news agency close to Iran's IRGC said Hezbollah’s involvement in a war with Israel was now “likely,” and could use precision-guided missiles with a range capable of striking all of Israel.

For its part, like clockwork, the Israeli Air Force is hitting the runway of Aleppo Airport in Syria, shutting down what they say is the key Iranian-Syrian delivery link. Syrian media is confirming this additional Israeli airstrike against the Aleppo airport. It marks the third time the airport has been hit in recent weeks.

Cooper Union barricades Jewish students inside library as pro-Palestinian protesters bang on doors

A handful of Cooper Union’s Jewish students barricaded inside the university’s library Wednesday when pro-Palestinian protesters blew past security and aggressively pounded on the building’s doors.

A Jewish senior at the East Village institution recounted the terrifying moment she watched the demonstrators slam anti-Zionist posters against the window and shout “antisemitic rhetoric” just a few feet away.

“When they started banging on the door, my heart started pounding. I was crying. I think if the doors weren’t locked — I don’t know what would have happened,” the student, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Post.

“I don’t want to speculate what would’ve happened. It just makes me too nervous. I was absolutely terrified in that moment.”

The demonstrators — who were carrying Palestinian flags and “Zionism Hands Off Our Universities” signs — had scheduled the 1 p.m. demonstration outside the 7 E. 7th St. building when they decided to move through the interior.

It appeared as though they were heading toward university president Laura Spark’s office to demand she condemn Israel’s attacks on Gaza Strip civilians when they pivoted to the library, the student said.

The group of several dozen demonstrators breezed past security’s feeble attempts to stop them from climbing the stairs as they chanted “Free Palestine,” video shows.

Security on the library’s 7th level locked the doors upon hearing the group come closer, preventing them from coming inside, but not stopping them from banging on the walls and continuing their chanting.

Several of the 11 Jewish students huddled inside the Cooper Union Library called 911 or contacted relatives who called the police for help.

The NYPD was stationed at the demonstration the entire time, a spokesperson said.

No arrests or summonses were issued, and the ralliers left the building without incident.

It is not clear whether any officers entered the building during the demonstration, though the student witness claims the police never arrived because the university told them not to get involved.

Instead, a school administrator offered to discreetly escort the students out the back entrance of the building — which Sparks allegedly opted for herself upon hearing that the protesters were coming her way.

“If they were scared, if the president was so scared that she left the building, then the police should have been called,” the student said.

“Why would they leave the students in the building without police protection when the president of the school who was also targeted left herself?”

When they walked outside, the pro-Palestinian demonstrators were standing silently outside displaying their signs.

According to the university’s media relations manager, the school closed down the library for approximately 20 minutes while the protest moved through the building.

“Some students who were previously in the Library remained during this time,” Kim Newman said in an email.

Newman did not immediately confirm the student’s claims that the university prevented police from intervening in the demonstration once it moved indoors or whether Sparks escaped the protesters.

Although she admitted she wasn’t sure whether the demonstrators were trying to get through the locked doors, the senior said she was left disappointed by the university’s actions.

“I think we’re all honestly scared. We don’t feel comfortable going back to school tomorrow,” she said.

“It felt crazy that once they overtook the security guards, they still don’t want the police to come in. So that doesn’t make sense to me. It doesn’t make sense to me that once the doors were locked — which means that they clearly felt we were in danger — they still didn’t let the police come in … It’s confusing to me that once [the president] left, we were still there and they didn’t let police come in.”

Cornell University’s bucolic upstate New York campus was defaced with hateful anti-Israel graffiti Wednesday morning as some messages read “F–k Israel” and “Zionism = Racism.”

The vandalism at the Ithaca Ivy League school came several days after a professor who called Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel “exhilarating” and “energizing” took a leave of absence.

The graffiti began on campus sidewalks sometime before 9 a.m., according to The Cornell Review.

Messages like “Israel is Fascist,” “Free Palestine” appeared next to more profane statements, pictures showed.

The spray paint was cleaned up by university workers. It was unclear who had scrawled the hate speech, the university’s newspaper said.

Hedge fund billionaire vows to stop donating to Columbia University amid students’ Israel protests

Hedge fund billionaire Leon Cooperman has vowed to stop donating to Columbia University over its response to the war in Israel — as he slammed students protesting the Jewish state as having “s–t for brains.”

Cooperman, who is of Polish-Jewish descent, was asked in an interview with Fox Business’ Liz Claman Wednesday about his thoughts on the student protests at his alma mater — as well as similar demonstrations at other Ivy League universities.

“I think these kids at the colleges have s–t for brains,” he replied bluntly.

“We have one reliable ally in the Middle East — that’s Israel. We only have one democracy in the Middle East — that’s Israel, okay? And we have one economy tolerant of different people — gays, lesbians, etc. And that’s Israel,” the 80-year-old chairman and CEO of Omega Advisors, a New York-based investment firm with over $3.3 billion in assets, continued.

He then went on to say he would stop donating to the school unless he sees a “change” from the administration, which thus far has refused to condemn a tenured professor who called Hamas’ terror attacks against Israel “awesome.”

“Now, the real shame is I’ve given to Columbia probably about $50 million over many years,” Cooperman told Claman. “And I’m going to suspend my giving. I’ll give my giving to other organizations.”

“I mean, war is hell. War is not good for anybody, but to praise what Hamas did is disgraceful, disgusting.”

The billionaire was referring to comments made by politics and history professor Joseph Massad, who called Hamas’ attacks on Israel a “stunning victory” in an article he published on The Electronic Intifada a day after the conflict ignited.

Almost 60,000 people signed a petition created by 23-year-old student Maya Platek accusing the university of “condoning and supporting terrorism,” and demanding the professor’s removal.

“Regardless of one’s stance on the conflict, supporting and praising one of the worst acts of terrorism in history is never acceptable,” the petition reads.

A letter of solidarity with Massad was issued in turn, condemning the petition against him and calling on Columbia President Nemat Shafik to “unequivocally guarantee his physical safety and his academic freedom.”

It was signed by thousands of members of the school’s alumni, staff, and student body.

Columbia has repeatedly declined to comment on the matter when contacted by The Post, but some professors have weighed in — including Israeli-American assistant professor Shai Davidai.

He alleged that Columbia’s president, Minouche Shafik, has not spoken out against the student groups and said he would never allow his daughter to attend the Ivy League school in remarks he posted to YouTube titled “an open letter to every parent in America.”

“The View” star Meghan McCain also said she feels “shame” for having attended Columbia University in NYC because of its “virulent antisemitism.”

“The only thing I can say is they will never get a dime from me. I will never do any speaking engagements with them. Columbia can go to hell as far as I’m concerned,” she said.

“I mean, the virulent antisemitism going on by the students on campus and then the professor coming out saying that he felt ‘invigorated’ by the terror attacks. It’s just not something that should be acceptable in academia.”

On Wednesday, university administrators canceled a student group’s on-campus movie night, after organizers said “Zionists” were not welcome.

“As we have reiterated many times over the past few weeks, antisemitism or any other form of hate will never be tolerated in our community,” a Columbia University spokesperson told The Post

Keep a very careful spiritual eye on Russia, that is right, I didn’t say North Korea, I said Russia, Russia. Listen to the news and you will notice how she is building and building and testing and testing. Soon she will strike.

On Wednesday, the Russian government held a snap "retaliatory nuclear strike" drill involving the launch of a truck-mounted "YARS" ICBM and a submarine-launched ICBM. The exercise simulated what Russia could do AFTER they were attacked by a nuclear first-strike.

Video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows the truck-mounted, mobile, ICBM being erected and launched into the night sky. Later in the video, as the Multiple Independent Re-Entry Vehicle (MIRV) deck come back into earth's atmosphere from space, it is clearly visible high in the night sky, coming back to earth for it's "strike."

Ominously, Russia directed this particular test so that the re-entry could be seen from . . . FINLAND; the most recent country to join NATO.

Why would Russia practice a "retaliatory" strike? Clearly, they did this because they think THEY are going to be hit.

First major snowstorm of the year hits Montana - with residents clearing up to a foot off sidewalks and schools canceling bus routes

Winter Storm Archer dropped a foot of snow in Helena, Montana, causing the school district to cancel six bus routes

Snow fall is expect to hit the Rocky Mountain and Northern Plains states as it moves east in the coming days

An early season winter blast brought a foot of snow to Montana Wednesday, canceling school buses and sending residents for their shovels.

With the storm moving east, major portions of the country can expect a winter blast in the coming days before the calendar even turns to November.

Winter Storm Archer brought a reported 10 inches of snow to central Montana, a foot in Helena, while other areas along the Rocky Mountain front had 6 to 8 inches.

A second wave of snow will hit the area tonight, and the National Weather Service predicts a total snowfall of 6 to 12 inches for eastern Montana and western North Dakota.

Winter Storm Warnings, Winter Storm Watches and Winter Weather Advisories are in place through Thursday impacting more than 2.7 million Americans, according to Fox Weather.

The National Weather Service said heavy snow rates reaching one inch per hour and snow-covered, icy roads will lead to difficult travel conditions.

'Roads may be snow-covered and slippery in the Cascades, northern Rockies and Northern Plains into Thursday,' said Weather.com

'That includes stretches of Interstates 15, 25, 90 and 94. Particularly treacherous travel is possible over mountain passes.'

Plow truck drivers for Bozeman, Montana, were on the roads early Wednesday morning, according to NBC Montana.

'We like to get the snow all cleared to the sides, so people can get to and from work and get to what they want to do. As well as people visiting our city. We want them to say, "hey it’s easier to get around here,"' said John Van Delinder, street superintendent, City of Bozeman.

There is a possibility of 1 to 2 feet of snow in the Cascades of Northern Washington through the Northern Rockies.

'Some snow is expected to mix in with rain for the interior Northwest and northern Great Basin, but accumulations here should be limited,' said the National Weather Service.

The snow in Helena led to school buses canceling their routes, and residents scrambling to clear the streets of the wintery mix.

'So I know we live in Montana, but I don't think I was quite prepared mentally for this,' said one user.

'Little bit of snow here today. That's how much it snowed last night, October in Montana,' said a user named Rock Nichols.

Going into Friday, eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota can expect to accumulate a few inches of snow.

The National Weather Service said, 'In addition to the heavy snow, a winter blast will follow the cold front pushing southward across the Northern Rockies and Plains, with these frigid temperatures expanding southeastward through the end of the week.'

AccuWeather forecasts that by Thursday the snow will expand south and east, into a portion of the central Rockies and Plains.

Some rain is expected to fall on Tuesday and Wednesday in parts of the northern Plains before the snow, leading to hazardous road conditions.

'As temperatures fall well below freezing later in the week, this can lead to freeze-up issues and slick spots on roads and highways,' said AccuWeather Meteorologist Joseph Bauer.

The Artic chill following the storm will be even more frigid, warns AccuWeather.

'In the wake of this storm, an Arctic air mass will usher in the coldest air of the season,' said Bauer.

'Temperature readings 15-35 degrees below the historical average can be expected in Montana and Wyoming by Thursday night."

Russia Smacks Israel: Gives Iran Access to Landing at Khmeimim Air Base, Latakia, Syria

After Israel attacked Damascus and Aleppo Airports in Syria for the third time in a week last night, both airports are out of service. So Russia has decided to allow its Khmeimin Air Base in Latakia, to be used in place of Damascus and Aleppo airports, even for Iranian Military Cargo flights!

It was allegations by Israel that Iran was moving weapons into Syria, which would allegedly (at some later point) be used to attack Israel, that somehow justified Israel attacking Damascus and Aleppo airports. Now what is Israel going to do? Will they dare try to attack a Russian air base?

The air base has extensive air defenses. In fact, one NATO General said in 2015, the base has so much defense, "We're seeing an A2/AD (anti-access/area-denial) air space forming in the eastern Mediterranean."

Does anyone care to mull the Biblical aspect of what happens if Israel attacks that Russian Air Base in Syria?

As is well known, Israel has been launching what many call a "forced displacement" of Arabs living in the Gaza Strip. Almost non-stop bombing by Israeli fighter jets has already killed of 4,000 Palestinians, and destroyed over 10,500 Housing Units, as the Israeli Air Force drops bombs on apartment buildings to demolish them at the foundation.

The Gaza Strip is also subjected to a siege by Israel, which, for almost the past two weeks, has forbid the entry of trucks carrying even food and water.

It was just yesterday that Israel allowed twenty tractor trailers in, but NONE with fuel, which is desperately needed for hospital electric generators, since the Gaza Power Company ran out of fuel and can no longer generate electric.

Twenty tractor trailers brought in what they could, but to feed a population of 2.3 Million, at least 100 tractor trailers a day are necessary.

Russia has called a total of THREE meetings of the UN Security Council over the Gaza situation. At one of those meetings a Draft Resolution was put forth by Brazil for an immediate ceasefire; but the UNITED STATES vetoed that resolution!

What human garbage is the US Ambassador to the United Nations that she would veto a resolution for a cease fire in a situation where civilians are being hit by fighter jets?

So now that the Russians cannot seem to get even human behavior at the UN Security Council, they have just upped the ante to Armageddon for the US and Israel. Russia is now opening Khmeimim Air Base to be used in place of Damascus and Aleppo airports, which also means Iran military cargo planes.

Oh . . . . wait . . . . maybe that's been the game plan all along? The US has been trying to go to direct war with Russia over in Ukraine, but failed to achieve that. The US Supplied Abrams tanks, MK-140 long-range HIMARS. Millions of rounds of ammunition. Hundreds of thousands of Artillery Shells. Even US Senator Lindsay Graham said on television it's the best money he's spent; to kill Russians.

So now The US seems ready to use Israel to hit the Russian air base, which would logically move us all DIRECTLY into World War 3.

Maybe this is the REAL reason the US put two aircraft carrier strike groups in the eastern Mediterranean sea off Syria? Because maybe Russia has been their goal all along and the Russian Base at Latakia Syria is right on the Mediterranean Sea, exposed to all the US firepower.

Now we also know why Russian President, Vladimir Putin, politely reminded everyone last week, that his MiG-31 jets, patrolling the neutral air space of the BLACK SEA, are armed with Kinzhal, hypersonic missiles. Those missile he said, have a known range of 1,000KM and travel at Mach 9.

What he DIDN'T SAY, but everyone figured out, was that those Russian fighter jets all the way up in the Black Sea, can fire those Kinzhal missiles and hit the US Aircraft Carriers all the way down in the Mediterranean Sea.

While the Kinzhal can be armed with a conventional high explosive, it can also be armed with a Tactical nuke of between 5 and 50 KT.

Those missiles can sink both aircraft carriers AND their strike groups. The missiles, if fired from the Black Sea, would take only 6 minutes to arrive in the Mediterranean Sea.

Maybe this is why the crew of the USS Gerald R. Ford, were fed a Steak and Lobster Dinner last night? (Story Here)

I wondered aloud if the crew was actually being given a sort of "last meal" because the bosses knew they were all going to get killed.

Now we might be seeing WHY those sailors and Marines got steaks and Lobster last night. The bosses seem to have known they intended to use Israel to hit the Latakia Air Base, which would beget a Russian military response, which would wipe out both aircraft carriers and their strike groups. The whole thing seems already planned!

The Pentagon seems to have sent both aircraft carriers and their strike groups, knowing they intended to get them all killed, to start World War 3, have it go nuclear, and thereby get out of the $33 TRILLION the US owes around the world through after-war debt forgiveness.

In fact, upon more reflection, I think THIS is exactly why US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced he is sending THAAD (Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense) missiles to the Middle East. The only thing THAAD is good for . . . . is intercepting Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) in their terminal phase, high-up in the atmosphere. THAAD is useless for close-in missiles within 50 miles. So why send them to the Israel-Hamas conflict?

I think they're sending THAAD because they KNOW Israel is already going to hit the Russian Air Base in Syria, maybe with a nuke, and that Russia will respond by Nuking Israel . . . so they want THAAD up and running to try to defend against that!

And if they cannot defend it, and Russian nukes hit Israel, thankfully, there's some really fertile land available in eastern Europe, where almost all the men are already dead from war, which Israel could relocate to: Ukraine.

I was right! Here it is; an Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) cargo aircraft, landing at the Russian Air Base:

With all the firepower in-place, all the pieces lined-up, the scenario I've outlined above can take place LITERALLY at any moment. Maybe even this week.

Fighting Has Erupted On Multiple Fronts As Israel Braces For A War Of National Survival

It is becoming clear that Israel is going to have to battle enemies on multiple fronts, and that means that this war is going to look a whole lot different than a lot of people thought that it would. If the fighting could have been confined to just Israel and Hamas, there still would have been a lot of death and destruction, but everyone knows that Hamas is no match for the IDF. But if Hezbollah, Syria, Iran and the Palestinians in the West Bank all jump into the conflict, all of a sudden this becomes a war of national survival for Israel, and in such a scenario it is much more likely that weapons of mass destruction will be used. So it should deeply alarm all of us that fighting has now erupted on multiple fronts.

Hamas fighters and Israeli forces engaged in limited clashes inside Gaza on Sunday as the Israeli military ramped up airstrikes on the Palestinian enclave ahead of what its spokesperson described as the “next stage” of its war on the militant group.

Hamas claimed its fighters had destroyed two Israeli military bulldozers and a tank in an ambush near the Gazan city of Khan Younis, forcing Israeli troops to retreat without their vehicles. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed its forces had been operating inside Gaza during the incident, and said an IDF tank struck militants who had fired on its troops.

The episode appeared to be one of the first skirmishes between the two sides on the ground inside the strip since war broke out after Hamas’ deadly October 7 attack on Israel which killed more than 1,400 people. On October 13, the IDF said it had carried out raids inside Gaza.

According to the IDF, this raid was part of the preparation for a full-blown ground invasion.

And I think that we are very close to the moment when that full-blown ground invasion will be launched.

Meanwhile, the Israelis have evacuated more towns and villages near the northern border in anticipation of a war with Hezbollah…

On Sunday, the defense minister confirmed that another 14 towns and villages have been told to evacuate, in addition to the 28 initially ordered to do so last week. “According to the IDF and Defense Ministry, the 14 communities being added to the list are: Snir, Dan, Beit Hillel, She’ar Yashuv, Hagoshrim, Liman, Matzuva, Eylon, Goren, Gornot HaGalil, Even Menachem, Sasa, Tziv’on and Ramot Naftali,” Times of Israel details.

Evacuating those areas is a wise move, because fighting along the northern border just continues to escalate…

Fears mounted Sunday that the Israel-Gaza war could swell into a wider conflict amid rising cross-border attacks on Israel’s north from Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon and expanding Israeli airstrikes across the region.

On Sunday, Hezbollah released video of a particularly disturbing attack on the Biranit barracks that happened on Friday…

Israel sees Iran-backed Hezbollah as its most serious threat, estimating it has some 150,000 rockets and missiles aimed at Israel.

Israeli military spokesman Jonathan Conricus accused the group early Sunday of “escalating the situation steadily.” He said the recent cross-border skirmishes had produced both Israeli troop and civilian casualties but did not provide additional details.

Hezbollah on Sunday posted a video of what it said was a Friday attack targeting the Biranit barracks near the Lebanon-Israel border, the command center of the Israeli military’s northern division. Footage shared by the group showed an overhead view of a strike on what it described as a gathering of soldiers.

Fighting Hamas and Hezbollah at the same time would be difficult enough, but it appears that Israel will be forced to tangle with Syria as well.

Iran sends enormous amounts of weapons and supplies to Hezbollah by flying them into airports in Syria, and on Sunday the IDF bombed the international airports in Damascus and Aleppo for the third time in ten days…

Syria said it was forced to shut down international airports in Damascus and Aleppo because of the Israeli strike. The Syrian Transport Ministry said landing strips at both airports were damaged by missiles and one civilian worker was killed and another wounded at Damascus International Airport. Israel has carried out several strikes in Syria since the war began, citing the need to prevent Hezbollah and other militant groups from bringing in arms from Iran, which also supports Hamas.

We have also seen clashes directly along Israel’s border with Syria in recent days, and I fully expect an intensification of fighting in that area during the week ahead.

In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed at least five people there early Sunday, according to the local Health Ministry. Two were killed in an airstrike on a mosque in the town of Jenin, which the Israeli military said belonged to Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants who had carried out several attacks and were planning another one.

But I think that it is quite likely that if Hezbollah enters the war the U.S. military will intervene.

Over the weekend, we learned that the Biden administration has decided to send even more air defense assets to the region…

The U.S. will send a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and additional Patriot air defense missile system battalions to the Middle East, the Pentagon said on Saturday, in response to recent attacks on U.S. troops in the region.

The United States has sent a significant amount of naval power to the Middle East in recent weeks, including two aircraft carriers, their support ships and about 2,000 Marines.

The Biden administration had been trying to delay a full-blown ground invasion of Gaza for a couple of reasons.

Number one, there was hope that negotiations could secure the release of more of the hostages.

But now the time for talk is ending, and the IDF is gearing up for a major ground campaign in Gaza.

Once that happens there will be no turning back, so brace yourselves for what is coming next…

Is it possible that the war in the Middle East could eventually go nuclear? If the fighting could have been limited to just Israel and Hamas, I think that there would have been a zero percent chance of Israel using nuclear weapons. But now it appears that Hezbollah, Syria, Iran and potentially other parties are likely to get involved too, and that means that Israel will literally be fighting a war of national survival. If it gets to a point where the Israelis think that they could potentially be overrun by their enemies, they aren’t going to leave their most powerful weapons on the shelf.

According to Wikipedia, it has been estimated that Israel currently possesses somewhere between 80 and 400 warheads…

The State of Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons. Estimates of Israel’s stockpile range between 80 and 400 nuclear warheads,[2][5][6][7][8][9] and the country is believed to possess the ability to deliver them in several methods, including by aircraft, as submarine-launched cruise missiles, and via the Jericho series of intermediate to intercontinental range ballistic missiles.[18][19] Its first deliverable nuclear weapon is thought to have been completed in late 1966 or early 1967; which would make it the sixth country in the world to have developed them.[2][20][21]

And it appears that some Israeli leaders have been thinking about potentially using this arsenal.

When asked about Hezbollah entering the war, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the terror group will be hit “with a force it cannot even imagine” if it does so…

Hezbollah will make “the mistake of its life” if it goes to war with Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned during a visit with soldiers near the country’s northern border with Lebanon.

“If Hezbollah decides to enter the war” the IDF hit it with such strength that “it will long for the Second Lebanon War,” Netanyahu said.

It will be hit “with a force it cannot even imagine” with devastating consequences for both the terror group and Lebanon which hosts it, he said.

Fighting Hezbollah would truly be a nightmare scenario for the Israeli government. Hezbollah possesses at least 130,000 missiles, and they are far more powerful and far more sophisticated than the missiles that Hamas has been using.

Can you imagine the horrors that we would witness if thousands of those missiles started raining down on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem?

But the Israeli government knows that Hezbollah will almost certainly enter the war once the IDF goes into Gaza, and so there had been talk of conducting a pre-emptive strike to take out those missiles before they could be launched…

The Israeli government is coming under growing pressure from security establishment hawks to launch a pre-emptive strike on Hezbollah in Lebanon – but is facing strong opposition from the US, which fears a two-front war would risk igniting a major regional conflict.

Since Israel struck back at Gaza after the Hamas attack on 7 October, the Lebanese-based Islamist militia group has repeatedly fired on Israeli settlements, leading to an Israeli evacuation of the northern border, including the town of Kiryat Shmona. The threat of a major Hezbollah offensive led to calls from hawks for a strike at its sizeable arsenal of missiles.

Of course if Hezbollah enters the war, it is inevitable that Iran will eventually get directly involved too.

In fact, Israel’s Minister of Economy is specifically warning that “the head of the snake” will be cut off if Hezbollah declares war on Israel…

Israel last night vowed to cut off ‘the head of the snake’ and launch a military attack against Iran if Tehran-backed terror group Hezbollah joins the war.

In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Nir Barkat, Israel’s Minister of Economy, warned that Iran’s Ayatollahs will be ‘wiped off the face of the earth’ should Hezbollah, their proxy terror group in Lebanon, attack Israel.

So how in the world could Israel possibly wipe them “off the face of the earth”?

Needless to say, if either side actually decides to use weapons of mass destruction, everything will change.

Even though it was Israel that was attacked by Hamas, we are already seeing a massive explosion of anti-Jewish hate all over the world.

Over the weekend, thousands of pro-Hamas protesters caused havoc in the heart of New York City…

Anti-Israel protesters and police clashed in Brooklyn after thousands flooded a predominantly Arab and Middle Eastern neighborhood Saturday night.

The protest in Bay Ridge saw thousands of the pro-Palestinian demonstrators chant ‘move, cops, get out the way. We know you’re Israeli-trained’ as they descended on the community, stopping traffic and lighting fires in the process.

Part of the procession, billed online as Flood Brooklyn for Palestine, began to clash with NYPD officers as night fell, video shows – as their numbers swelled to an estimated 5,000 over the course of the day.

Over in London, approximately 100,000 pro-Hamas demonstrators chanted slogans as they marched to the office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak…

About 100,000 people joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London on Saturday, marching through the British capital to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza following the Hamas attack on Israel two weeks ago.

Chanting “Free Palestine”, holding banners and waving Palestinian flags, the protesters moved through London before massing at Downing Street, the official residence and office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

The British will pay a great price for allowing so many radical Muslims to migrate into their country.

In fact, nations all over the western world will come to deeply regret their immigration policies, because we are going to see a tremendous amount of violence in the days ahead.

On Saturday, the president of a Detroit synagogue was found dead just outside her own home. She had been stabbed multiple times…

The president of a Detroit synagogue was found stabbed to death outside her home Saturday morning, police and the synagogue said.

The Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue put out a statement later in the afternoon identifying the victim as board president Samantha Woll.

Detroit police responded to a 911 call of an unresponsive person around 6:30 a.m. and found a body outside a home on Joliet Place. The woman, who was not immediately identified by investigators had suffered multiple stab wounds, police said.

For Israel’s enemies, this is the opportunity that they have been anticipating for so long.

Forensic pathologists, including Israeli staffers as well as volunteers from abroad, were visibly disturbed by the evidence before them.

By AARON PORIS/THE MEDIA LINE OCTOBER 20, 2023 07:34 Updated: OCTOBER 20, 2023 14:48

Stifling the urge to retch became a difficult task as I walked through the lower levels of Israel’s National Center of Forensic Medicine (Abu Kabir) in Tel Aviv. The smell of rotting human remains, much of which was completely unrecognizable as human due to the brutality of the attack, was at times too much to bear.

In light of the growing international interest in (and denials of) the Palestinian terror group Hamas’ October 7 massacre in southern Israel, representatives of the global press were invited to see the horrors for themselves.

Forensic pathologists, including Israeli staffers as well as volunteers from abroad, were visibly disturbed by the evidence before them. Despite every effort to remain objective and detached—as called for by the profession—many broke down into tears throughout the day.

During the initial press conference, the forensics team showed images from their investigations. Among the images were those of charred hands with marks that revealed where the victims’ hands were bound behind their backs with metal wire before being burned alive.

Perhaps the most disturbing image in the slideshow was a completely charred mass of flesh, which at first glance could not be seen as ever having belonged to a human. It was only after a CT scan was done that experts could see the inhumanity of the image.

Two spinal cords—one belonging to an adult, one to someone young—a parent and child bound together by metal wires in a final embrace before being set alight.

“When you do this job downstairs, you get detached,” Dr. Chen Kugel, the head of Abu Kabir, told The Media Line. “But then you learn the stories and connect to the people. It’s hard not to feel the tragedy. It’s so big. And when I go to the Shura camp [where deceased bodies in Israel are first collected] and see containers like you’d see at the port—but they’re all full of bodies… And you hear the stories—that behind their charred bodies, something terrible happened—it’s very difficult. I’ve seen many things in my 31-year career, but the magnitude and the cruelty [here] is terrible,” Kugel added.

“The proportion of bodies we’ve received who are charred is high,” Kugel explained. “Many have gunshot wounds in their hands, showing they put their hands up to their faces in defense. Many were burned alive in their homes. … We know they were burned alive because there is soot in their trachea, their throats—meaning they were still breathing when set on fire.”

The single mercy, Kugel said—if there is one to be found—is that the burned victims likely died from carbon dioxide and soot inhalation before the fire killed them.

Kugel also explained that the age range of the victims spans from 3 months to 80 or 90 years old. Many bodies, including those of babies, are without heads.

Asked if they were decapitated, Kugel answered yes. Although he admits that, given the circumstances, it’s difficult to ascertain whether they were decapitated before or after death, as well as how they were beheaded, “whether cut off by knife or blown off by RPG,” he explained.

Kugel was far from the only one who got emotional when discussing the evident travesty. “We disassociate because we need to work, but from time to time it gets to you,” Dr. Nurit Bublil, head of Abu Kabir’s DNA laboratory, told The Media Line.

“Yesterday, I opened evidence from a house in a southern kibbutz, and there was a popular recipe book covered in blood. … I have this same book, and it makes you take a moment and think, it could have been my kitchen, my children, my parents, me. You can’t avoid it,” she said.

Additionally, Israel’s small population gives rise to the fact that no one is far removed from the wake of the massacre. “My sister has a close friend of hers who is still missing,” said Bublil, as she stood beside a blood-stained mattress from a baby’s crib. The DNA from the mattress will be used to try and identify a brutally disfigured and unaccounted-for infant.

“I got the message today from my neighbor,” Bublil continued. “She asked if I could help because her good friend’s husband, father, two nephews, and father-in-law’s wife were all murdered too and have yet to be identified.”

This is the crux of the forensic pathology center’s current mission in which roughly 200 experts are participating. Forensic pathologists, anthropologists, radiologists, and more from Israel as well as from the US, Switzerland, New Zealand, and elsewhere around the world have come not simply to determine the victims’ causes of death but to identify the bodies for burial.

Fighting back tears, Israeli forensic pathologist Dr. Hagar Mizrahi explained that “as you know, the Jewish people must bury their dead as soon as possible.” But as of this writing, nearly two weeks have passed since the massacre, and some 350 bodies remain unidentified. “So, the people here at Abu Kabir are doing their best to help and identify the most severe cases that arrive.”

Four places around the country are currently working to identify and release bodies for burial.

The Israel Police headquarters in Jerusalem is handling all the antemortem samples and personal items for DNA comparisons. The Israel Defense Forces is working on 1-1 DNA comparisons using their data on soldiers, including fingerprints, dental records, and DNA. In addition, Abu Kabir is working to collect DNA samples and identification for the most severe cases. It’s also where all the DNA samples from other locations come for additional testing. And the Shura camp near Ramla, in central Israel, is where all the deceased are initially collected. Shura currently has some 950 body bags in its possession.

The word “bags” is written here instead of “bodies” because it’s not clear how many victims there are within them.

“More than one person’s remains may be in a single bag,” Kugel explained, “and one person’s remains may be in multiple bags.” When looking at remains, he added, “We know there are multiple people because we see double. For example, if you see two bones from the left maxilla, then it couldn’t be from the same person.”

And in many cases, bones without so much as a speck of extractable DNA are all that’s left. For that reason, Kugel said that some victims’ families would be right to fear the worst.

“We hope that with CT and biopsies, we can bring the unidentified down to less than 200. But some people, we will never find. We will never identify them. And people need to be prepared for this.”

Speaking personally, Bublil said that she wants the world to know that “generally, Hamas enjoyed the killing.”

According to Bublil, “This was not combat, or a military conflict, or a state conflict, or a political conflict. [Hamas] enjoyed the murders so much that they did everything they could do to celebrate the killing. They celebrated burning houses with civilians inside who didn’t do anything to them. They enjoyed grabbing an 18-year-old girl from a party, a festival, dragging her to a car, and taking her to Gaza. And who knows what happened [to her] in between. They enjoyed and celebrated the death. … These are monsters. They’re not human… They weren’t merciful to anyone. No one who was alive and encountered them remained alive. No one.”

President Joe Biden angered Kremlin officials by comparing Russian President Vladimir Putin to Hamas in a foreign policy address that drew a parallel between their respective objectives in Ukraine and Israel.

“We do not accept such a tone towards Russia and towards our president,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday, per Russian state media.

Peskov attempted a tone of restrained rebuke, but one of his more prominent Kremlin colleagues adopted another pose. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, whom Biden quoted to make the case that Putin “won’t limit himself just to Ukraine” if he perceives a NATO ally as vulnerable, responded with a broadside against American support for Ukraine and Israel, which he implied would lead to nuclear war.

“Biden called money that should be spent on the death of other people far from the United States a ‘smart investment.’ We are talking about the acquisition of additional weapons worth tens of billions for Ukraine and Israel,” Medvedev, who is the Security Council of Russia’s deputy chairman, wrote on social media, according to an unofficial translation.

“And the quantity of weapons supplied will sooner or later translate into quality. High-explosive fragmentation, cumulative, incendiary and volumetric detonating charges will turn into nuclear charges.”

Biden suggested the Hamas terrorist attack that ignited Israel’s war in Gaza “echoes” Putin’s attempt to overthrow the Ukrainian government.

“Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy — completely annihilate it,” Biden said. “Hamas — its stated purpose for existing is the destruction of the State of Israel and the murder of Jewish people. … Meanwhile, Putin denies Ukraine has or ever had real statehood. He claims the Soviet Union created Ukraine.”

That comparison is gaining traction in European Union circles, as well. “Russia and Hamas are alike,” EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Thursday at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. “Both have deliberately sought out innocent civilians, including babies and children, to kill and take hostage.

This is a barbaric way to fight. And left unchecked, this contagion has the potential to spread from Europe across the Middle East and to the Indo-Pacific.”

There are some buildings where the penthouse floors look spectacular. But the foundations and the lower floors are rotten.

To his credit President Biden gave a strong statement not so long after Israelis were massacred in their hundreds.

And this week he showed up in Israel to show his support as the country prepares its response to Hamas.

At the top of the Republican and Democrat parties similar sentiments exist. You might easily think that all is well with the American foundations.

Of course Congress has its own voices who actually seem to favor Hamas over the Israelis.

People like Ilhan Omar can’t summon up the briefest condemnation of Hamas before they move onto condemning a not-even-begun Israeli response.

Appearing in an interview this week AOC made clear once again that she’s no brainiac on the issue. Calling for a ceasefire, she was asked the easiest, most sympathetic questions by her CNN interviewer.

To which AOC gave replies like, “I think what we’re trying to figure out right now is . . .”

I think there’s quite a lot AOC should figure out. And do so before she speaks about the conflict in public again.

But they can’t shut up, these anti-Israel activists. And just as they whip along others to hate, so they are whipped along in turn.

When reports came in of a missile strike on a hospital in the Gaza any seasoned observer knew to hold their tongue.

I’ve seen this plenty of times before in conflicts. If you know what’s best you wait to figure out what’s happened.

But the New York Times and other media didn’t bother to wait. Because they never can wait with Israel. So they blamed Israel for the strike.

Rep Rashida Tlaib piled in, claiming that “Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients).”

And then she threatened the President — her own party leader — telling Biden, “Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims Americans like me. We will remember where you stood.”

Another Muslim immigrant to this country, Rep. Ilhan Omar, also claimed the hospital hit was an Israeli strike, writing that, “Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes. The IDF reportedly blowing up one of the few places the injured and wounded can seek medical treatment and shelter during a war is horrific.”

Except that we now know that the rocket landed in the parking lot of the hospital and was not fired by Israel.

Palestinians lift Hamas and Fateh flags as they protest in Nablus city in the occupied West Bank

That is perfectly common there. Because Hamas and other groups often misfire their rockets. And why would that seem surprising? They have no care for Palestinian lives.

They forever fire rockets from Hospital grounds and other places where they know they’ve got the Israelis in a corner.

And if they don’t strike they must allow rockets to keep hitting innocent Israelis.

And when the Palestinians’ own rockets misfire (as it seems one did on this occasion) everyone blames Israel.

For groups like Hamas this is a win-win. And dead Palestinians are part of that win.

The more dead Palestinians the better for them. Not least because they know that idiots like the Squad and the NYT will pass around Hamas’ version of events and turn everyone even more against Israel.

It’s a problem across Europe where city after city has been filled with immigrants and radicals opposed to the Jewish State.

In London this week they carried Hamas flags and taunted police. In Berlin people started putting signs on Jewish houses and firebombed a synagogue.

Bodies of Palestinians killed by an Israeli airstrike that hit the Ahli Arab hospital are seen gathered at the front yard of the al-Shifa hospital, in Gaza City, central Gaza Strip, Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023

On Wednesday about 300 protestors broke into the Capitol to protest against Israel. And this rot is evident everywhere.

Sure there have been pro-Israel protests. And people like Mayor Adams should be applauded for their strong stance in defense of the state which was actually attacked here.

Look at the professor at Cornell who the Post exposed for calling Hamas’s massacre of over a thousand Israelis “exhilarating” and “energizing.”

Or NYC Councilman Charles Barron telling an anti-Israel rally in NY that Israelis were “European converts to Judaism” who had “stolen” Palestinian land. He went on to say “We can’t be kowtowed and afraid of the Israeli lobby.”

Or what about the member of the faculty at the Art Institute of Chicago, Mika Tosca, who this week called Israelis “pigs,” “savages” and “irredeemable excrement.”

Tosca calls herself a “radically optimistic transsexual climate scientist.” But I wonder if her dehumanizing, anti-Semitic language reminds anyone of anything?

Across this country there has been an outburst of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate.

It is from youngest people in the country. From the youngest members of Congress. From the youngest people on campus. And from people like Mika who think they’re radically progressive while saying the most regressive things imaginable.

One instructor at Stanford was suspended this week after singling out Jewish students from their classmates and referring to “Only 6 million” Jews being murdered in the Holocaust.

That clearly wasn’t enough for him. And it’s clearly not enough for many of the other psychopaths who have decided that the murder of Jews is a good moment to call for more of the same.

The top floors of the American apartment building may be OK. But down below it’s not. No other minority would put up with being murdered and then taunted for being murdered. I don’t know why Jews should either.

I’m relieved that they are being supported from the top. But where is the support on the streets? And what has happened to the rest of the damn building?

Did you know that Hamas appears by name in Scripture? It’s right there in the Book of Genesis!

In this week’s Torah portion “Noah,” the terrorist organization Hamas is mentioned twice, and the translation is actually quite appropriate, perhaps even prophetic.

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.” (Genesis 6:11-13)

The context of these verses is also interesting because it tells us the reasons for The Flood. “Hamas” is something so terrible that God decided to destroy humanity because of it.

The name of the terrorist group Hamas translated from Arabic means enthusiasm, zeal or fighting spirit, and is also an acronym for Islamic Resistance Movement.

Since we in Israel do not believe in coincidences, this terrorist group has chosen a name that reflects its essence in Hebrew. Furthermore, the Bible warns us with this hint that Hamas is very, very evil. God is so disgusted with Hamas that He destroys the crowning glory of His creation to remove iniquity and corruption from the world.

This is how you have to see today’s Hamas. It is hateful to God and must be eliminated. Rarely has one seen with such clarity the enemy one is dealing with as we sadly did on October 7th in Israel.

The circumstances under which Israel entered the war in Gaza exempt it from dealing with what will happen in Gaza after the war. The reason for this is simple: Israel has no other choice. It must respond with overwhelming force, let the chips fall where they may.

"A War of Annihilation" – this is how James Mattis, who served as the US Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, referred to the fight against ISIS in Mosul, Iraq. Between 2016 and 2017, the war in this region during those years was the most intense conflict in a built-up area since World War II. The destruction caused in Mosul was similar in its magnitude to what the Allies inflicted on Dresden in February 1945.

At the end of the battle in Mosul, the UN estimated that over 80% of the city, the second-largest in Iraq, was uninhabitable. A similar experience occurred in Raqqa, Syria, another stronghold of ISIS that was targeted by the U.S. military, which also ended with the label "unsuitable for human habitation." This is the real corollary that should come with the statement that "Hamas is ISIS."

On October 7, the Holocaust survivors' state was attacked by the new Nazis. Their heinous plan and cruelty were on full display for the whole world to see. In this war, Israel has no choice. It must act as the Allies did in their war against the Nazis.

It's time to dispel the myth that "the Gaza population is a victim of Hamas, which imposed itself on them." True, not everyone there supports Hamas. There are many who do not share its ways, but the level of support for it undermines the claim that "Hamas does not represent the Palestinians."

In the 2006 elections, Hamas won the largest share of the vote, with significant support (43%) and representation in more than half of the legislative council seats. The fear of similar results led to the postponement of elections since then.

Opinion polls over the years have indicated its popularity in the general public and especially among the residents of Gaza. Hamas represents the Palestinian ethos at its core: negating the idea of a sovereign Jewish state in the area between the sea and the river. While its military force may number "only" tens of thousands, it enjoys widespread support from the population.

These things need to be stated to balance Israel's expectations, both on humanitarian issues and regarding the intensity of the fighting, especially considering the cynical exploitation by Hamas of Israel's restraints and sensitivities.

Moreover, the overthrow of Hamas' rule and the destruction of its military capabilities, both defined as the goals of the Gaza war, mean that apart from dismantling of Hamas' command and control structure, we must also deal a crushing blow to its order of battle, its leaders, commanders, and field operatives. These individuals are well-entrenched, using the population as shields or taking cover in buildings that are considered immune from Israeli attack.

After the horrors we have seen, nothing should surprise us regarding their ruthlessness. We must assume that they have boobytrapped everything they could. In this reality, the challenges of warfare are numerous and complex.

Under these circumstances, it is expected that the state's authorities, its institutions, and its citizens will support the military's efforts by lifting various constraints. It is important to emphasize that there is no dilemma when choosing between adhering to international law and minimizing the risks to our forces.

Any other response could potentially leave it under existential threat. Every other scenario is less severe than that. The question of what will happen after the war should concern us less than the question of what will not be present: There will be no Hamas rule, no military or terrorist capabilities threatening the State of Israel, and Gaza's humanitarian needs will not be Israel's concern.

The efforts Hamas invested in the documentation, photography, and dissemination of their horrors can shed light on one of the goals of the attack on Israel: breaking Israelis' spirit. Indeed, they sought to murder Jews for the sake of murder, to kidnap in order to use captives as human shields and bargaining chips, to carry out complex attacks to project strength and leave a historical mark, to humiliate, document, distribute – to shock and frighten the Israeli society and instill terror and fear in every Israeli.

Viewing Hamas videos or distributing them may serve their purpose. The resilience of a united Israeli society in the face of this monstrous threat and the strengthening of the people's spirit will thwart their efforts and allow us to eliminate the forces of evil.

US warship shot down 15 drones and four cruise missiles 'headed for Israel' during NINE-HOUR onslaught from Iranian-backed militants in Yemen

The USS Carney intercepted 15 drones and four cruise missiles which were fired by Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen and 'headed for Israel'

An official from the Defense Department said the drones and cruise missiles were shot down using SM-2 surface-to-air missiles

The Defense Department initially said the warship had taken down 'several' drones and three land attack cruise missiles before the full details were released

Shocking new details revealed US Navy warship shot down multiple drones and missiles during a nine hour onslaught near the Yemeni coast on Thursday.

The USS Carney was stationed in the Northern Red Sea when it intercepted 15 drones and four cruise missiles which were fired by Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen and 'headed for Israel'.

There were no injuries onboard the ship and none were reported on land among civilians.

The Defense Department initially said the warship had taken down 'several' drones and three land attack cruise missiles before details surrounding the full-scale of the attack were released.

The incident was the fourth in three days of increased aggression against US troops in the region as tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East.

An official from the Defense Department said the drones and cruise missiles were shot down using SM-2 surface-to-air missiles.

The source added that the rockets fired by the Iran-backed Houthi militants were clearly headed for Israel.

While a US official added that they do not believe the missiles, shot down over the water, were aimed at the US warship.

The Houthi terrorist group in Yemen has signaled its intention to join the war against Israel.

The Al Tanf Garrison military base in Syria, where there are American troops present, was targeted by two drones on Wednesday.

One was destroyed while the other impacted the base following joint action by US and coalition forces.

Another attack was reported at the Conoco airfield. Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an Iran-backed group, has claimed credit for the attempted strike against the Conoco base, but US officials are yet to confirm that specific strike.

On Tuesday, troops at the al-Asad airbase in Iraq intercepted three drones. To the north, troops the Al-Harir Air Base intercepted another two.

On Wednesday, a contractor at the al-Asad airbase in Iraq died of a heart attack while sheltering amid reports of an incoming attack.

There were minor injuries at the al-Asad base, where troops were only able to intercept one of the drones and damage the other. The extent of those injuries is unclear.

It also remains unclear whether the strikes against the al-Tanf airbase resulted in any damage or injuries.

The strikes come amid increased tension in the Middle East over the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, which many now view as a conflict between the West and the Arab world.

President Biden has been steadfast in his support of Israel since Hamas attacked on October 7, supplying military aid and flying to the region in a show of strong alliance.

His visit and ongoing support of Israel whipped up anti-American protesters in Lebanon, where crowds laid siege to the US Embassy in Beirut yesterday.

The State Department has now issued a rare worldwide caution travel advisory for Americans traveling overseas, citing the potential for terror attacks and 'increased tensions' as reason to be on high alert.

The 'Invasion And Destruction' Of America As Prophesied By Henry Gruver And Dumitru Duduman And Revealed In Plans Of Russia And China Is Being Carried Out Before Our Eyes

As Christians we are children of light and of the day—living in an ever-more-darkening world—but if we walk about with our eyes closed, light does us no good at all. Our country has not seen war on its lands since the terrible Civil War in the mid-1800s. There were reports of a Japanese submarine spotted off the Los Angeles County, San Pedro coastline during the WWII timeframe, and supposedly sunk, but we have not had foreign military invaders on U.S. soil since the British were expelled during the Revolutionary War.

But this is soon to change—you need to know that, believe it as true, and make plans and preparations to live through it as a Christian.

Right to the point: One or more of the following list of possible events will be the prelude to an invasion by foreign forces—their effects being a distraction, chaos, and the weakening of law enforcement and military effectiveness, strength, and numbers. You should know that such an invasion is prophesied by Henry Gruver and Dumitru Duduman, as well as the revealed plans of Russia and China.

1 - Something within the U.S. or staged somewhere else that becomes the catalyst for military action against others (consider events such as Japan/Pearl Harbor, Viet Nam/Gulf of Tonkin, 911/Iraq).

3 - Some form of nuclear or radiological device or suicide bombers being used to begin disruptions in our society.

4 - An electromagnetic pulse that permanently takes down all or large portions of our power grid.

6 - Our nation’s economy collapsing and its peoples having no money, food, jobs, or medical care and medications.

7 - A hard lock-down of the country due to any of these events or a new and lethal virus.

8 - Resistance to the visible arrival of U.N. forces for “humanitarian reasons”.

Things that will happen when an invasion begins—things that are normal military tactics and the first events when war erupts in a country:

1 - All or nearly all means of communication will be disabled (TV programming, landline phones, cell service, Internet, possibly satellite phone availability; and also, CB and ham-radio transmissions can be interfered with and tracked). You will not be able to communicate with family or friends by such means or others to find out what’s happening or coming your way. TV and radio broadcasts can be used for propaganda purposes benefitting those in control.

2 - Travel will be stopped by military and in other places by armed civilian roadblocks, some roads, bridges, and aircraft runways will be bombed, and fuel supplies confiscated and no longer available, including natural gas and propane. For many people, wherever they are when these more serious things suddenly happen will be where they will have to stay.

3 - The power grid will go down by one means or another. No electricity means no lights, no heat in the cold, no air conditioning when it is hot, no refrigeration for food, no water in the faucets, toilet tanks, or hot water heaters, city sewer services will fail to work, and no electric cars! These things will be especially bad for hospitals, and convalescent or retirement-home facilities.

4 - All food and medical supply deliveries will cease and local grocery and pharmacy supplies will run out—not within days but hours. What you have at home is all you will have to make-do with for an extended period of time. Oh, my! Can you imagine a city with no psych-drugs, bipolar or pain medications!

5 - The already bad people will begin ravaging markets, travelers, anyone found on the streets, and even homes. Many good people will descend into desperation and do things for food and water that they would not have before. (My YouTube message: When Good People Go Bad)

6 - When the invading military gets to your town, they will do anything they want to, take whatever they want, and show no mercy. Block-by-block and house-by-house searches will happen as they look for firearms, valuables, certain persons, women, food and fuel.

7 - Explosions, gunfire, screams for help, and fires will become commonplace. There will be no police or other emergency services—no agency will come to your aid.

8 - The cities will be the first to be affected, then the urban areas and eventually the rural regions as the invasion forces become available to spread out.

9 - Friends and even some family members will turn on one another because of these conditions and many will die.

Why this uncomfortable discussion? As you have heard for months now, the nations of the world are preparing for the next world war. China’s economy is decelerating from a recession into a very soon depression. Reports are that it cannot feed all its 1.4 billion citizens even one simple bowl of rice a day, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has become very aggressive toward all her neighbors with not the least being neighboring Taiwan. Russia is rising up against the western nations and has the military prowess to defeat several substantial militaries all at once. In general terms—this bear just wants to be left alone but the US and NATO are poking it and others are throwing rocks at it from a distance.

What does the Bible say about the end of the age, which is somewhere at the 6,000-year mark since creation? We know from Daniel, from what Jesus taught us in the Gospels, and what John wrote in the book of the Revelation that the most terrible of times will arise leading to the death of several billion of the now 8 billion people on the earth, and an almost total destruction of the planet. A time like has never been nor will be ever again.

And yes, the USA is going to be a main target for several reasons as the judgment of God for its abominations is released. What are you and I to do before war comes home? What should we be doing right now and until then? We should be spiritually and physically preparing our hearts and minds and our homes and families. A man, parents, and all response-able-adults will give an account before God for having heard but not acted on such advance warnings as this one.

So where will your thoughts go when the news is heard that a war involving several powerful nations has just broken out? More to the point: What will you do when reports come-in that the United States of America has come under siege by one means or another especially on the day when we have been invaded by foreign military forces?

- Sit in unbelief that it is true until you see our big cities being burned and bombed?

- Rush to the grocery store for the supplies you should already have only to be shocked by the several hundreds of people that got there ahead of you?

- On the way you notice your fuel tank is down to a quarter-tank and the gas stations already have lines 25 cars long—and you can’t spend the time in line for a 10-gallon limit—you need to get food first!

- Will you dash off to the bank to get your money out only to find the doors locked, the ATMs down, and all stores’ credit-card readers not working and you have no cash to speak of at home?

- By The Way: Your extended family members will be coming to your place from the bigger cities—what will you do for food, and where will you get drinking water when the grid goes down (and it will go down if it hasn’t already)?

- Your spouse is spooked and your children are scared by the news and all the confusion—what do you say since you are, too? Your neighbors are running around the neighborhood looking for answers that you need also.

- Will you pack up your tent, dump all your stored food and water in the trunk, and rush the family into the SUV and head for a safer location—oh, but you don’t have any of these things and no gas to go?

When World War II broke out the U.S. stayed out of it still stinging from the effects of WWI—that is until Pearl Harbor was attacked because of the very same economic conditions we have imposed on Russia today. Almost overnight we went from a peace-time goods and services producing nation to a war-time economy making aircraft and tanks, bullets and bombs, and other needed military goods. We were a major military power capable of inserting huge amounts of equipment and manpower into two war-fronts: Europe and the far western-Pacific regions.

We can no longer effectively do that today but have become nearly flightless sitting ducks in a pond that many want for themselves—not the least of those is China’s Communist Government. We have these militarily powerful countries of China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and North Korea making final preparations to come to America—and not for our Frappuccino's and trips to our museums and national parks. You should watch both versions of the movie “Red Dawn” to wake up your mind and heart about what is coming.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it (Mr. Phelps), is to ready your spiritual and physical life and your household for what I have described today. Stop squandering your money on new technology, new cars, new entertainment means, and new clothes (unless they are warm-weather clothes and footwear), and (if you haven’t already begun) start this week to set aside the means for you and your family to face the sure and certain loss of the lifestyle you have known. People that see these dangers for what they are realize that when these things happen, when war comes home to our land, cities, and small towns, they will either be killed or men used for a time as workers and women as sex-slaves.

A small eyes-wide-open population in America is preparing to have to leave their homes and flee to a safe place with the basics of what they will need to survive. They have a large tent (tarp), plenty of blankets or sleeping bags, wood-burning cooking equipment, defensive weapons, stored food, some water and a good quality water filter, and they have plans on where they will go that is out of the reach of gangs and armies. And, by the way, how does one defend against a well-armed ground or airborne force(?) but by their well-developed spiritual life and trust in God! Have I described you and your household? I dearly hope so. After having done at least these very basic things then you can stand on the Word of God for what you will need that you could not have prepared for.

War is coming home and when it strikes it will be so fast that there will be no time and nothing left to go buy that you should have had already.

Russian ‘spy ship’ sails along Dutch coast – British Army Boeing P-8 and Netherlands Navy on high alert!

A new Russian research ship, believed to be used for espionage, sailed along the Dutch coast on Wednesday. Shortly after entering the North Sea, the Yevgeny Gorigledzhan switched off its AIS transmitter, causing the ship to disappear from radar.

The Yevgeny Gorigledzhan (also called Evgeniy Gorigledzhan) is an oceanographic vessel, formally designed for bottom surveys and underwater work. However, it is part of the Russian secret military program GUGI, which was set up during the Cold War to keep an eye on the enemy. Ships from the military program have previously been linked to espionage activities near undersea data cables.

The Yevgeny Gorigledzhan appeared last Saturday, October 14, in the Baltic Sea, near Germany, according to data from MarineTraffic. It probably departed shortly before from the port of Kaliningrad, where the vessel was built in the Yantar shipyard. Drawings and photos of the ship show that it is equipped with at least two mini-submarines and radar equipment. It also has the ability to deploy underwater drones.

The Yevgeny Gorigledzhan started a soil survey near Rostock, Germany , exactly at the location where a tunnel is being built between northern Germany and Denmark. The research vessel was closely followed by the German coast guard.

Two days later it headed for the North Sea, after which it switched off the AIS transmitter near Aalborg, Denmark. The last signal on Tuesday afternoon showed that the Yevgeny Gorigledzhan was turning towards the Netherlands.

AIS transmitters contribute to safety at sea by broadcasting the position and identity of a boat. When a vessel switches off its AIS transmitter without a legitimate reason, this often indicates that it does not want to be tracked because it is carrying out illegal activities. It is not mandatory for naval vessels to transmit an AIS signal.

It is not known whether the Dutch navy is following the Yevgeny Gorigledzhan. “We are keeping a close eye on this case. For operational reasons, we are currently not making any statements about how we do this,” a Navy spokesperson said. The Coast Guard has not been deployed, a spokesperson said. Flight data shows that a few hours after the Yevgeny Gorigledzhan set off its signals, a British Army Boeing P-8 patrol plane flew several times over the North Sea near North Holland on Wednesday afternoon. The Boeing P-8 was specifically built to detect ships and submarines. The Netherlands no longer has such patrol aircraft.

Since leaving the Baltic Sea, the Yevgeny Gorigledzhan has been sailing at the same pace as the oil tanker Primorsky Prospect deployed by Russia. A few hours after the Gorigledzhan disappeared from radar, the Primorsky Prospect also switched off its AIS transmitter. The Prospect eventually surfaced again on Thursday morning near The Hague. It is not clear why the two ships sailed together.

It appears that the navy is following the Yevgeny Gorigledzhan with patrol ship HNMLS Holland near Zeeland. That would mean that the Russian spy ship is currently in the same location as the Admiral Vladimirsky in June and July of this year, right above several data cables and a major gas pipeline.

It is not the first time that a Russian spy ship has sailed along the Dutch coast. This summer, the Admiral Vladimirsky, a research ship from the Baltic fleet, was moored off Zeeland for ten days . The Vladimirsky was stationary at times over several data cables and an important gas pipeline at the end of June and the beginning of July. It is not known what it was doing there. The navy escorted the ship, but could not intervene. According to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, ships are allowed to sail freely through the Dutch Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

The Vladimirsky also plays an important role in the documentary Putin’s Shadow War , in which Scandinavian journalists demonstrate that Russia is systematically spying in the North Sea. The journalists follow the ship as it sails past wind farms off the Dutch and British coasts in November 2022 . The investigation also links Russian ships to the sabotage of the undersea Nord Stream gas pipeline.

In February this year, the military intelligence service MIVD warned that Russia wants to disrupt our energy supply and communications by sabotaging pipes and cables. A few months later, the navy was given the task of protecting infrastructure in the North Sea.

It is not clear whether Yevgeny Gorigledzhan aimed to sabotage or spy on the Dutch infrastructure. So far there is no trace of the ship. [Pointer]

Fake News From The Media Causes Attacks On U.S. And Israeli Embassies Around The World, Protests And 'Insurrection' At The U.S. Capitol By Pro-Hamas Supporters

Once again the MSM creates chaos by reporting according to their agenda and bias instead of doing any type of investigating before pushing "misinformation" (or is it disinformation?) and causing massive protests, and "insurrection" at the U.S. Capitol (by the Democrats definition at least), in their rushed and false reports regarding a bombing of a hospital in Gaza.

It is misreporting like this that will bring about more death, more hatred for Israel by those programmed by the media to blame Israel for everything under the sun, as long as it is bad.

Setting the scene: There was an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. Hama's and their merry band of supporters instantly blamed Israel, claiming they had struck the hospital with a missile.

The result: Global attacks on U.S. and Israel embassies and protests throughout the Middle East.

• Hundreds of Protestors Surround US Embassy in Lebanon After Deadly Blast at Hospital in Gaza

Others things that happened include Istanbul, Turkey: Protesters breach Israeli consulate. Iran: President Raisi threatens “the flames of US-Israeli bombs” will soon “consume” Israel. Amman, Jordan: Israeli embassy reportedly stormed by a mob. Tehran, Iran: Massive crowd forms outside of the British embassy. Baghdad, Iraq: Reports of massive protests in the streets.

There are pages and pages in the search results, but those above are representative of what happened after the MSM blamed Israel, as they usually do when something like this happens.

Rather than focusing on that we'll move along to the "fake News" media, double standards and hypocrisy.

It turns out that the Pentagon independently concluded Islamic Jihad was responsible.

President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren't behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

The National Security Council Spokeswoman stated on social media "While we continue to collect information, our current assessment, based on analysis of overhead imagery, intercepts and open source information, is that Israel is not responsible for the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday."

We did need that verification since Joe Biden has a nasty habit of making stuff up and likely wouldn't have remembered talking with his Defense Department in the first place.

The media though, they did what they do so well. The pushed a false narrative, then they slowly tried to backtrack by changing the headlines, after the initial story was read and believed by the liberal sheep that still trust the MSM,

As an example we can note how liberals, to the day, still believe the original headline reporting that claimed in 2015 that Donald Trump called all Mexicans rapists. Liberals still believe the Russian collusion hoax. The still call the January 6, 2021 protest an "insurrection" despite the fact that not one person has been charged or convicted of "insurrection."

I used to think the media just wanted to be first, finding that to be more important than being correct. After years of reporting on their journalistic malpractice, I have learned that they don't just want to be first, they want to set the narrative, knowing people generally do not go back to the same MSM articles after reading it the first time.

Those readers then move along and start spreading the fake news the media programmed into them, and for some, they never learn the truth and continue spreading the lies, even years later.

That is their goal, to tell people what to think. This was admitted, on-air, by MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski, when she stated that it was the media's "job" to "control exactly what people think."

In the meantime, after the misreporting by the NYT and the rest of the narrative setting media outlets, there was a protest at the U.S. Capitol, over a hundred people demanding a cease-fire against Israel because of the blast at the Gaza hospital, all because of false narrative set deliberately by the MSM.

Remember when the media and democrats insisted that illegally protesting inside the Capitol buildings was an "insurrection" and the people arrested were so dangerous they had to be held without bail and prosecuted to the fullest?

U.S. House and Senate office buildings are open to the public but protests are forbidden in congressional buildings.

U.S. Capitol Police spokesman Paul Starks told USA TODAY on Thursday that police arrested 308 people on charges of crowding, obstructing, or incommoding in a forbidden area. They were ticketed and released.

Double standards and hypocrisy on display. I have seen one MSM outlet call this an "insurrection," and yet they still call Jan 6 an insurrection, even though no one has been charged with an actual insurrection.

The protests, here and around the world, all caused by a media that is dead-set to spread their own agenda and set the anti-Israel narrative, which shows that while many are awake to the MSM bias and misinformation, there are still way too many that still believe them.

Whether it is because they are being told what they want to hear, or because they are just that gullible and stupid, is a toss up. I will say that while monitoring chat forums, social media, comment sections, and email groups, even those that claim to not trust the MSM will spread their propaganda if the story matches their mindset.

With that said, it is heartening to see the numbers from Gallup on Media distrust.

Gallup's report, dated October 19, 2023, shows the trust in the media is at record lows with 39% saying they have no trust in the media at all. 32% still have a great deal of fair amount, and 29% say they don't have very much trust in the media.

Interestingly enough, despite most of the media being liberal, even Democrats’ trust is down 12 points since last year; lowest since 2016

Gallup first asked this question in 1972 and has tracked it nearly every year since 1997. Trust ranged from 68% to 72% in three readings in the 1970s, and though it had declined by the late 1990s, it remained at the majority level until 2004, when it fell to 44%. After rebounding slightly to 50% in 2005, it has not risen above 47% since.

I find that extremely interesting as it shows how media trust dropped as the media became more liberal and started letting their liberal bias influence the "news," making it hard to determine what is news and what is the opinion of the writer.

In addition, Gallup in June found confidence readings in both TV news and newspapers that were near their historical lows and last December found a record-low-tying rating of the honesty and ethics of journalists.

I am conservative and write with the conservative bent. The difference between myself and the MSM today, is they pretend to be objective, and claim they do not have a bias, while I fully admit mine and write to try to balance out the constant drumbeat of the liberal MSM.

Still, looking at media trust from Democrats, compared to Independents and Republicans, it is clear why so many in America are misinformed and spreading MSM propaganda.

Democrats’ confidence in the mass media has consistently outpaced Republicans’, but the latest gap of 47 points is the narrowest since 2016. Democrats’ trust in the media has fallen 12 points over the past year, to 58%, and compares with 11% among Republicans and 29% among independents.

People are learning, but in many cases they are still allowing the MSM to control what they think, even while claiming to distrust them.

58 percent of Democrats trust the media. The media says Jan 6 was an insurrection, and now Dems call it an insurrection. The media spreads Israel hate, and Democrats spread propaganda about Israel like the good little parrots they are. The media tells us Donald Trump will destroy America if reelected and Democrats believe them despite the same warnings in 2016, and despite the fact that country still exists. The media insists the experimental Covid vaccine was safe and Democrats all ran right out and got the jab.

The media believes it is their job to tell you what to think, and 32% of Americans still trust them, allowing themselves to be told how to think.

This time the media caused riots, illegal protests, attacks against American and Israeli embassies and consulates.

We have to wonder how many people the media has gotten killed because people believed their fake news.

Man slugs woman in the face on NYC subway, tells her it’s because ‘you are Jewish’: cops

A hate-filled brute punched a woman in the face in a Manhattan subway station over the weekend and told her he socked her because “you are Jewish,” according to police.

The stranger walked up and clobbered the 29-year-old woman inside the 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue subway station 7-train passageway at around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, cops said.

The shocked victim asked her attacker why he randomly slugged her when she did nothing to provoke him and he reportedly said his reason was “you are Jewish” and ran off, police said.

Saturday’s attack comes as Hamas and Israel continue a deadly war sparked by the terrorist group’s sneak attack on the Jewish nation, prompting fears of rising hate towards both Jews and Muslims.

Police released images of the suspect Wednesday in hopes of identifying the man wanted for the alleged hate crime.

The same day as the subway station assault, a 71-year-old man in Illinois stabbed a 6-year-old Palestinian-American child 26 times, killing the boy in an alleged hate crime over his Muslim faith.

The suspect, Joseph Czuba, also stabbed the child’s mother more than a dozen times as he shouted “You Muslims must die!”

The NYPD Hate Crimes Unit is investigating the assault and released images of the suspect Wednesday.

US and coalition forces in Iraq came under attack from suicide drones on Oct. 18, as the region experiences unrest related to the ongoing Israel–Hamas War.

U.S. and allied forces in Iraq came under attack by two suicide drones early on Oct. 18, according to the Pentagon. The drones were shot down before they could cause harm.

“An attempted attack against U.S. and Coalition forces in Iraq was disrupted in the early morning of Oct. 18,” a U.S. defense official told The Epoch Times.

“Two one-way drones were shot down in the attack. There were no injuries to any forces during the attempted attack.”

The United States maintains a limited presence in Iraq and has come under fire from Iran-backed militants in the country several times in recent years. In one incident in March 2022, for example, Iran directed missiles near the U.S. Embassy in Erbil.

The Oct. 18 attack targeting Iraq’s Al-Asad Airbase comes as the United States moves to provide security and humanitarian aid to Israel following the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas on the embattled Jewish state.

Violence has surged across the Middle East since then, with terrorist groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah, encouraging Muslims to attack and kill Jews and Americans.

Much of the violence directed at U.S. and Israeli embassies across the Middle East stems from outrage over a deadly explosion at the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza on Oct. 17.

The Palestinian Authority initially reported that the blast, which left hundreds dead, was caused by an Israeli bombing; several Western media outlets, including CNN and Politico, circulated headlines affirming the claim as well.

Open-source intelligence analysts, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and the Pentagon have since compiled geolocated video of the incident demonstrating the explosion was caused by a malfunctioning rocket fired from within Gaza.

The IDF has since released intercepted audio communications from the area at the time of the blast suggesting that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a designated terrorist organization, was behind the failed rocket launch.

“An enemy rocket barrage was carried out toward Israel, which passed in the vicinity of the hospital when it was hit,” IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in a statement to media outlets on Oct. 18.

That hasn't stopped adversaries of Israel and the United States from seeking to exploit the situation.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian wrote on social media that time was "running out" for Israel after the Al-Ahli explosion. He also vowed that more fronts would open in the ongoing Israel–Gaza War.

Likewise, officials in Russia have said that Israel should be considered responsible until it provides further proof that it didn't strike the hospital.

Israel did, in fact, release drone footage of the scene of the explosion, which it stated shows that it wasn't responsible because there was no impact crater from any missile or bomb.

There has nevertheless been significant political fallout for Israel and the United States across the Arab world. Riots and demonstrations in support of Hamas have taken place in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey, several of which have resulted in attacks against U.S. and Israeli embassies.

A magnitude 4.2 earthquake hit the southwest Sacramento County area Wednesday morning, close to Contra Costa, Solano and San Joaquin counties, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The earthquake was reported at 9:29 a.m. and prompted an early warning, which was sent widely to cellphones across Northern California. The earthquake early warning system can send out alerts through the MyShake app, as well as through the Android operating system and an Amber Alert-style system; a test drill on the app is scheduled for Thursday at 10:19 a.m., on International ShakeOut Day.

Many people who live in the most highly populated areas of the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento area did not feel shaking from the earthquake. The strongest shaking, felt near the epicenter, was light, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, just enough to rattle dishes.

The preliminary epicenter in the southwestern tip of Sacramento County was about four miles southeast of Rio Vista, a city in eastern Solano County, and about 10 miles northeast of Oakley and 13 miles northeast of Antioch, which are in Contra Costa County.

In the past 10 days, there have been two earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater centered nearby.

An average of 25 earthquakes with magnitudes between 4.0 and 5.0 occur per year in California and Nevada, according to a recent three year data sample.

The earthquake occurred at a depth of 6.7 miles. Did you feel this earthquake? Consider reporting what you felt to the USGS.

FEDS Issue Emergency Alert After Largest Cyber Attack Ever Hits Internet's Backbone And Could Explode With Catastrophic Consequences By Taking Down America's Critical Infrastructure

In the first video at the bottom of this story, videographer 'Off Grid with Patrick Humphrey' talks with us about this MSN story reporting internet behemoths Google, Amazon and Cloudflare recently weathered the internet's largest-known denial of service attack EVER and are sounding the alarm over a new technique they warn could easily cause widespread disruption.

Telling us this latest warning of more upcoming attacks also was put out by the federal government itself, as we're also told, Alphabet Inc-owned Google said in a blog post published Tuesday that its cloud services had parried an avalanche of rogue traffic more than seven times the size of the previous record-breaking attack thwarted last year, and as we're told in the 1st video below, the reason this is so critical is that any websites connected to those 'internet behemoths' could go down, taking the businesses and services they offer down, too, should the 'backbone of the internet' go down.

Quite literally leading to a total collapse of our nation's critical infrastructure, as Humphrey also warns us in his video, the sheer volume of these attacks suggest this could only be 'state sponsored'.

Then explaining to us just why it might be in the government's best interests for the internet to go down for an extended period of time in the very near future, all communications could also be wiped out, helping to explain why all 100 US Senators were recently offered satellite phones. From 'Off Grid with Patrick Humphrey' before we continue.:

Youtube issued a warning as a the largest cyber attack ever just hit Google and Youtube which could take their servers off line. Amazon web services and Cloudflare were also effected by this ddos attack. The federal government has also issued an emergency warning.

This Youtube and Google cyber attack could be devastating. CISA, the cyber infrastructure security agency, gave an emergency alert and has warned that ransomware attacks could target US critical infrastructure so we need to be prepared for power outages.

Get off grid and get a generator so you are prepared for a cyber attack on an electricity company. Get your off grid shtf preps ready to bug out in case of an emergency. Start shtf prepping because things are going south. (The revenue from any generators, or anything else, purchased through our links, will be used, along with your amazing donations, to help keep ANP online and a roof over our heads in these dark and difficult days!)

This Google ddos attack could cause major problems for the economy as well as companies depend on it for e-commerce. People are preparing and stocking up food for survival. Prepare now to bug out and pack your bug out bag to prepare for civil unrest and societal collapse.

So if suddenly and without warning, the electrical grid goes down all across the country due to such devastating cyber attacks, or something like an EMP, how prepared would you be to survive?

While most Americans will be fine if they lose power for a few hours or even a few days, as has happened to most of us at some point in time or another during a devastating snowstorm, a hurricane or tornado or other events that take out our electrical service, the odds on how many can survive change quickly once it becomes known that the 'grid going down' will be a long term event of a year or more.

As we've reported on ANP numerous times, and specifically in this story by the late Dr. Peter Vincent Pry which he sent to us back in January of 2022, Cyber Warfare is an 'existential threat' to America that could explode with catastrophic consequences. Warning us within that story that one coordinated cyberattack could shut down 80% of the U.S. electrical grid, Dr. Pry explained how such a cyberattack could "force entire cities into blackout" while "all-out cyber warfare could lead to forced nationwide blackouts.”

With Dr. Pry while he was the executive director of the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, who served as chief of staff of the Congressional EMP Commission, as director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum and on the staffs of the House Armed Services Committee, he long warned ANP and the world that a long term grid down scenario could lead to 90% or more of the population dead within a year due to disease, starvation and the total collapse of society.

So if you think that what we're witnessing now in one Democrat-run city after another, all across America, is bad, with exploding crime rates, a drug and disease ridden population who no longer follow what we've long known to be 'the rule of law' and outbreaks of gang-driven violence, even in schools, we haven't seen anything yet should the grid go down for a year or more.

As we had reported in this June of 2023 story on ANP titled "One Well-Coordinated Attack Would Unleash Madness Unlike Anything We've Ever Seen Before As We're Sent To The 'New Dark Ages' - Globalists To Blame 'Grid Down Event' On Conservatives," most Americans would be totally unprepared for a long term grid down scenario that quite literally brings us a 'new dark ages'.

The website Modern Survival Blog gave us an excellent breakdown of the 'chain of events' that would follow a massive cyber attack or EMP attack that 'took down the grid,' from what would happen in the immediate aftermath, to what would happen should the grid stay down for a year or more. Here that is.:

Some people are beginning to realize that this is very widespread, and could become a long term grid down situation.

- Massive ‘grid lock’ in the city regions, Some vehicles run out of gas and are abandoned

- Conflicting descriptions of power outage, unknown expected duration, but looking more like long term

- Majority are beginning to panic, as reality sets in of this being a widespread long term grid down event

- Drug stores and grocery stores being stripped in some regions (ANP: That'll happen the 1st day!)

- Hospital generator systems are running out of fuel, Renewed fuel delivery isn’t looking good

- Martial Law is declared by the government, though most don’t get the message

- People have become deeply frightened and fear for their lives, now knowing that this is going to be a long term grid down catastrophe

- Many are dying in regions without access to water and the inability to get somewhere else

- Disease sets in (e.g. typhoid fever, cholera) from eating tainted food, water, poor sanitation

So in looking at that, where do you think that you and your family would fall on the timeline? Could you make it the full year? As we see and hear in the 2nd video below titled "Grid Down, Power Up" featuring Dennis Quaid, the huge majority of Americans will face 'electrical Armageddon' should a long term, grid down scenario strike America with most Americans facing a huge crisis after just a few days of the grid going down once they learn it would be long term.

And as we read in this Google blog entry detailing the most recent series of attacks, they're still ongoing to this day and they have every sign of being a 'state sponsored attack,' though Google will never tell us that.

Over the last few years, Google's DDoS Response Team has observed the trend that distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are increasing exponentially in size. Last year, we blocked the largest DDoS attack recorded at the time. This August, we stopped an even larger DDoS attack — 7½ times larger — that also used new techniques to try to disrupt websites and Internet services.

This new series of DDoS attacks reached a peak of 398 million requests per second (rps), and relied on a novel HTTP/2 “Rapid Reset” technique based on stream multiplexing that has affected multiple Internet infrastructure companies. By contrast, last year’s largest-recorded DDoS attack peaked at 46 million rps.

For a sense of scale, this two minute attack generated more requests than the total number of article views reported by Wikipedia during the entire month of September 2023.

The most recent wave of attacks started in late August and continue to this day, targeting major infrastructure providers including Google services, Google Cloud infrastructure, and our customers. Although these attacks are among the largest attacks Google has seen, our global load-balancing and DDoS mitigation infrastructure helped keep our services running.

At the very bottom of this story, above our comment section, is a lengthy list of items that you could definitely use in a long term grid down scenario if you haven't yet prepared for such a devastating reality.

ANP EMERGENCY Fundraiser: ‘Dangerous, Derogatory, Harmful, Unreliable!’ Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content police,' in describing many of our controversial stories. Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're still trying to hide, they pulled their ads from ANP.

All donations are greatly appreciated and will absolutely be used to keep us in this fight for the future of America.

For those who haven't yet prepared for a grid down scenario, the following products and supplies are as close by as an order and a delivery to your home, and they could definitely help save lives when the grid goes down. As mentioned previously, the revenue ANP receives through any products at all purchased via our links will be used to help keep ANP online and a roof over our heads. We also appreciate all donations.

The Saudi embassy warned its citizens not to visit areas where armed clashes were taking place.

Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Lebanon urged its citizens to leave the country as soon as possible, and to avoid approaching areas where there have been armed clashes.

In a statement posted late Friday on X, formerly known as Twitter, the embassy warned Saudi citizens not to visit areas where armed clashes were taking place, the official Saudi news agency SPA reported.

The kingdom did not specify which areas in Lebanon it was advising its citizens to avoid.

The embassy stressed “the importance of adhering to the Saudi travel ban to Lebanon”, the statement added.

Kuwait also issued an advisory early on Saturday calling on Kuwaitis in Lebanon to stay vigilant and avoid “areas of security disturbances” but stopped short of asking them to leave the country, according to a statement by the Kuwaiti foreign ministry posted on X.

On August 1, the United Kingdom also updated its travel advice for Lebanon, advising against “all but essential travel” to parts of Lebanon’s south near the Palestinian refugee camp of Ein el-Hilweh.

Since July 29, at least 13 people have been killed and more than 60 injured in clashes between the mainstream faction Fatah and a hardline group in the camp, the largest of 12 Palestinian camps established in Lebanon in 1948 after Israel was created.

Fatah has accused the armed groups Jund al-Sham and al-Shabab al-Muslim of gunning down a Fatah military general, Abu Ashraf al-Armoushi, in the camp.

According to Maher Shabaita, the head of Fatah in the Sidon region, Palestinian factions in the camp have formed an investigative committee to find out who was responsible for al-Armoushi’s killing and will hand them over to the Lebanese judiciary for trial.

A ceasefire between the Palestinian groups in the camp was announced on July 31 under the mediation of Lebanese parties.

However, armed clashes continue to take place between the factions from time to time.

According to the United Nations’ agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA, Ein el-Hilweh hosts 80,000 to 250,000 refugees.

On Thursday, Dorothee Klaus – the director of UNRWA in Lebanon – said that 600 people displaced from the camp are staying in two of the agency’s schools, in Sidon and in another nearby camp, Mieh Mieh.

How the U.S. is ramping up firepower in the Middle East to deter Iran from starting WWIII - with an armada of 13 warships, over 100 fighter jets, cruise missiles, spy planes and 2,000 amphibious special forces massing in the region

READ MORE: Israeli embassy in US posts meme of Keanu Reeves in The Matrix in response to Iran saying 'time is up'

Iran to stay on the sidelines as Israel prepares to launch a ground invasion into Gaza to destroy the terror group Hamas.

Within hours of the horrific onslaught on Israel by Hamas on Oct. 7 the U.S. began moving warships, jets and special forces to the region.

Two aircraft carriers including the world's largest - the USS Gerald R. Ford - have been sent to the eastern Mediterranean, along with scores of planes that could carry out air strikes.

Many more aircraft, including F-15 and F-16 fighter jet squadrons, have been dispatched to US military bases in the region, doubling the number available in the Persian Gulf.

Around 2,000 U.S. Marines trained in special operations and amphibious landings have also been redirected from an exercise in Kuwait, and are now on board two warships somewhere off the coast of Bahrain.

The Pentagon is also preparing an additional 2,000 Army and Air Force personnel as a potential rapid response force.

It reflects concern in Washington that Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terrorist group, or Iran itself, could escalate the crisis into an even more devastating regional conflict.

The main aim of the U.S. military ramp up is to deter Iran and its proxies from making any aggressive move.

The USS Gerald R. Ford had just completed an exercise with the Italian Navy before being ordered on its latest mission.

It has a crew of 5,000 and carries 90 warplanes - including F-18 Super Hornet jets, F-35 strike fighters and A-10 tank busters.

The carrier, which has a nuclear reactor, is replete with an arsenal of weapons like Evolved Sea Sparrow Missiles and the Mk-15 Phalanx Close-In Weapon System, which is used to fire armor piercing bullets.

Five support ships, including destroyers, are armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles and prevision laser-guided bombs, surface-to-air, surface-to-surface, and anti-submarine weapons.

A second aircraft carrier, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, will arrive in the eastern Mediterranean in about a week, also accompanied by four other warships.

The carrier, also known as the 'Ike,' has 5,000 sailors and can bring up to nine squadrons of aircraft including fighter jets and helicopters.

Its E2-Hawkeye spy planes will be able to provide early warnings of any enemy missile launches, conduct surveillance, and detect Iranian aircraft.

The aircraft carriers can also be used as bases from which to conduct information warfare.

Much of the U.S. operation would be expected to be coordinated from the Forward HQ of U.S. Central Command at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest U.S. base in the Middle East.

Even before the new influx of firepower the U.S. had over 30,000 troops in the region.

That includes 13,000 in Qatar, 7,000 in Bahrain, at least 3,000 each in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait, 2,500 in Iraq, and 2,500 in Turkey.

Additonally, around 2,000 U.S Marines with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit had just arrived in Kuwait for an exercise when the Hamas attack in Israel happened.

They were quickly told to get back on their sips - the USS Bataan and USS Carter Hall - and have sailed closer to the crisis.

Currently, they are 'somewhere' off the coast of Bahrain, according to defense officials.

Their ships carry MV-22 Osprey aircraft which have vertical take off and landing capability.

A spokesman told the Military Times: 'Should they be ordered, they could participate in some type of operation in support of Israel.'

Meanwhile, a small team of special operations forces has also been sent to Israel to help recover hostages, including Americans, being held by Hamas in Gaza.

The Pentagon has also ordered about 2,000 extra U.S. forces to be prepared to deploy to the Middle East if needed in the coming days and weeks.

They would provide intelligence and surveillance, transportation and medical capabilities.

She said: 'This increases our ability to respond quickly to the evolving security environment in the Middle East.

'No decisions have been made to deploy any forces at this time. The Defense Secretary will continue to assess our force posture and remain in close contact with allies and partners.'

Amid fears of an escalating crisis Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based, Iranian-backed terrorist group, has stockpiled up to 150,000 rockets and missiles, and could fire them far into Israel.

An ensuing war between Israel and Lebanon would be even worse than the current Gaza crisis, according to experts.

As Israel prepares for a ground invasion of Gaza, Iran warned of potential 'preemptive' action by Hezbollah.

Hossein Amirabdollahian, the Iranian Foreign Minister, said on Monday: 'All possible options and scenarios are there for Hezbollah. Any preemptive measure is imaginable in the coming hours.'

'God Didn't Design Us to Hate': Former Hezbollah Fighter Now Ministry Leader Recalls Encounter with Jesus

In early October, Afshin Javid was visiting Israel with his ministry Cyrus Call, which promotes friendship between Persians and Jews. But like millions of others, he found himself in the middle of a war when Hamas launched a bloody attack on Oct. 7.

As a former Hezbollah fighter, Afshin himself is no stranger to violence. He sat down with CBN News to tell his story.

"I was on my way to the United States to convert Christians to Islam, and I had 30 illegal passports at that time. I was arrested and put in jail in Malaysia. I was a dedicated Muslim who not only prayed the prayers, but I read the Koran once every ten days cover to cover. So I was very dedicated in my time in jail," Javid said.

"One day, as I'm praying, a man appears in front of me – normal size, but his being shines like light. This light is not a normal light. This light carried identity in it. And you knew that he is holy and instantaneously, I knew I am not. Even though I had prayed so many prayers, even though I had fasted so much and I had read the Koran and I had volunteered to work on landmines or I had participated in hanging people trying to please Allah, I knew, even though I have kept all the rules and regulation of Islam, I knew I am not just and I'm not holy and I knew the only just thing for him to do is to kill me," he recalled.

"But I didn't want to die. So I ran to the corner of the room, literally held my head in my arms, and just cried out, shouting, 'Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me,'"Javid said.

"And I didn't think he will forgive me because he is just. Still, I felt a touch on my left arm, and he said, 'I forgive you.' And I felt the weight just lifted off me. And I knew I'm forgiven, but I don't know how. And I was confused. Still, I say, okay, I don't understand. Only God can forgive, but you just forgave me. You are God, but you are a different God than the one I have studied about. This is not Allah. So who are you that forgives me? And he said, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life,' he continued.

"And I thought, That's very powerful. It means a lot because as a Muslim, you pray 'Show me there's a straight path.' And so the way is a direction. Truth is something you measure. Life is a source, but he claims to be all those three. I never thought the way is a person. The truth is a person, and life is a person, and all of them is the same person," Javid explained.

"So I said, 'I don't understand what is your name?' And he said, 'Jesus Christ.' And it was as if someone grabbed all my bones out of my body. I just fell like a piece of meat to the ground. And I just began to weep," he told CBN News.

"It's like, you know, being colorblind, and then suddenly you see colors, and you realize the world is so much more beautiful than you ever thought. And if you ask me what made the world so colorless, it's the hatred, the anger that is in the heart of every Muslim. People say, 'Why did you hate the Jews?'" Javid said.

"I had never met a Jew. I thought Hitler was a good man for doing what he did. He just didn't finish the job. I don't know why I hated them. No Jew had ever done anything bad to me. God didn't design us to hate; he didn't design us to want to see someone dead. He did not design us for these things. These are designs of Satan. How do you think killing the people to whom God gave this land is going to please Allah? Jesus is not a God that celebrates when Jews are killed," he explained.

'No One Should Celebrate When One of the Sons of Father Abraham is Killing Another'

When Javid visited the CBN News bureau in Jerusalem, he met an Israeli woman named Sasha Ariev, whose teenage sister had been kidnapped by Hamas in the attacks of Oct. 7. He and his wife wept as they watched her story. He introduced himself to her, off-camera, prayed with her, and apologized to her.

"There is absolutely no justification or explanation that can make any of this okay," he told her with tears in his eyes. "No one should celebrate when one of the sons of Father Abraham is killing another. And I just want to say I'm sorry that your family is going through this."

"Thank you very much," she answered. "I'm sure that a lot of Muslims around the world – they do not want this to happen."

"We are standing with all the Jewish people, with the people of Israel. And we are mourning their sorrow of their family members that have been lost, but also for the right of Israel to exist," he said.

At the end of his interview with CBN News, Javid offered a prayer for those on both sides of the war in Israel.

"The creator of heaven and Earth, God Almighty. You love the world, the whole world, all the people of the world. So much that you sacrificed Jesus Christ so that we will not perish but have eternal life. I pray today that the revelation of Jesus Christ would go forth amongst the Muslims and the sons of Ishmael," he prayed.

"Father, I pray that you would remember that covenant with Ishmael, that you would go forth because Ishmael is thirsty for the revelation of love, for the revelation of Jesus Christ, for the revelation of salvation. Father, I pray that there would be a hand of protection that would protect Isaac on every front, not only in Israel but all around the world. Give us visions, dreams, and wisdom to speak peace in this war, in Jesus's mighty name I pray. Amen."

The New Hoovervilles? RV Villages And Make-Shift Tribes On The Rise As Inflation Bites

From 2020 to 2023, the median purchase price of homes in the US rose from $320,000 to over $420,000 – That’s a 33% increase in only 3 years. In 2011, the average price of a home was around $200,000, meaning prices have doubled in a single decade. The average apartment rental price in the US is now $1300 per month, compared to $1000 in 2020, and home rentals have risen to over $2000 per month on average. The spike in the market is a reflection of inflation across the board, as well as increased demand due to more Americans being priced out of home ownership.

Another interesting development during the pandemic years was a considerable rush to buy RVs, vans and tiny homes. This may have been a symptom of the authoritarian lockdowns that became a standard in blue states, leading people to relocate. However, there is also the economic factor. The average tiny home runs $30,000 to $60,000, with used RVs available for even less. RV space rentals can be found for as low as $500 per month. For those willing to sacrifice living space, the savings are alluring.

Inflationary crisis is pushing low income and fixed income Americans into tighter living conditions, and people are trying to adapt as best they can. The underlying difference between economic disasters of the past like the Great Depression and the stagflation crisis of today is not the severity of the decline but the visibility of the decline.

In the Great Depression, the proliferation of “Hooverville” shanty towns and charity soup lines became an iconic symbol of the scale of financial calamity. These kids of signals of collapse are not as prevalent or obvious in our era. Soup lines have been replaced by EBT benefits and food banks, while Hoovervilles are being replaced by “Squatter Towns” made up of RV villages on the outskirts of highways and Walmart parking lots.

Another factor which has perhaps improved the conditions of falling home affordability is the remote work option and the “gig economy.” A person living out of an RV or van has the ability to connect to the internet and raise funds through digital work, they can become contract workers for delivery services, or they can work a regular 9-5 job while saving money on rent and utilities. This is not to say that the trend is ideal or that this should be the new western standard; it still represents the decline of western civilization. But, the ugliness of economic uncertainty is far more hidden from view.

During the Great Depression, many people became nomadic, traveling across the country by rail or by caravan looking for better living conditions and better employment. But the life of these nomads focused on less than ideal camp conditions, poor sanitation and poor security. They were often the targets of criminals. We have a version of this today in the form of “tent cities” in places like Los Angeles, but for now the RV option appears to be the dominant one.

Even in places as cold as Canada with limited populations, RV communities are popping up everywhere. The following video gives some insight into the lives of people who are involved in such communities, either by choice or by necessity.

One issue that stands out as paramount is the return of a kind of tribal organization. Neighbors knowing each other and helping each other through difficult times. The isolation of the modern world has created a kind of anti-community; a world in which no one knows anyone and mutual aid is seen as unsavory. Economic crisis has a tendency to force societies back to their origins and tribalism might be making a comeback as a fundamental of survival.

With Non-Stop World-Wide Chaos, It Won't Be Long Before America Is Taken Over And Destroyed By Foreign Military Forces Already Here And We'll Be Living A Real Life 'Red Dawn'

Many have asked me what my thoughts are on the “surprise” attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7. Thousands of missiles began raining down on indiscriminate targets in Israel just before dawn that day. At the same time, hundreds of armed fighters descended on Israel — using motorboats, paragliders and motorcycles. Bulldozers also breached border fences between Gaza and Israel.

It was truly a scene of “shock and awe” as militants marched through the streets, burst into homes and began shooting residents. Others, including women, children and the elderly were taken hostage. Hamas is threatening to kill the hostages one by one and film the executions.

As of October 16, the official death toll was at more than 1,400 and at least another 3,400 were injured in Israel. At least thirty Americans were killed and an undetermined number of Americans were taken hostage.

Israel began to take immediate retaliatory action, and in Gaza, at least 2,750 people are dead, with at least 10,000 wounded so far. Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will “demolish” Hamas. Nearly a half million Israel Defense Force soldiers have been mobilized for a ground offensive in Gaza.

A little history here: Hamas was formed in 1987 at the start of the first Palestinian uprising against Israel and is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, made up of Sunni Muslims from multiple countries. Their goal is to create a Palestinian state and Hamas refuses to recognize any “peace deal” with Israel. They’re funded by Islamic countries, including Iran, which, as we all know, has been and is well-funded by the United States. Remember the pallets of cash Barack Hussein Obama gave to Iran? In 2016, we sent Iran thirteen separate payments of $100 million — and an additional $400 million was sent by cash.

In 2016 alone, the US, under the direction of Obama, sent $1.7 Billion dollars to Iran. This figure was not disputed by the Obama administration. If you think the US is no longer an Iranian “cash cow” you’d be mistaken. We continue to fund our enemies. How does it feel knowing that nearly half your paycheck goes directly to federal taxes, and is then sent to our enemies, used to support illegal invaders on US soil, and also sent to places like Ukraine, where the money is “laundered” and returned back into the pockets of the so-called “lawmakers” (our “public servants”) who sent it there in the first place? In case you missed it, the Pentagon just recently announced yet another $200 million in never-ending “aid” for Ukraine.

And if you wondered where all the military equipment Biden left for our enemies in Afghanistan ended up... recent events should give you a good idea.

Today, it seems that war is everywhere. In addition to the wars in Israel and Ukraine, China has its eyes on the world as well. Then there’s North Korea, the rest of the middle east, and multiple South American countries. And I hope you don’t think all this war is going to remain “over there,” somewhere, because it’s already here as well.

After years of our borders being wide open, complete with the red carpet treatment for illegals invading our nation, we now have multiple major crises all around the United States. On October 11, the mayor of New York City sent out a stern warning regarding possible “lone wolf” attacks, while simultaneously, thousands of Muslims — also illegal aliens, invited in, flown here, settled and well fed by the Regime in the White House — were celebrating the killing of Jews in Times Square and calling for Jihad in the US.

We’ve also seen record numbers of Chinese nationals coming in over our southern border in recent years — mostly all single, military-age men. Once here, they settle in at the location of their choice, and like other illegal so-called “immigrants,” are treated to “free everything,” from healthcare to food and housing. We’re also surrounded by Chinese military encampments and training grounds, operating openly on our northern border in Canada and our southern border in Mexico. Not to mention those operating in semi-secrecy right here on American soil. In those cases, these military training camps are operating under the protection of the American government.

So it’s not a matter of if war is going to come to the streets of the United States, or to our own doors. It’s just a matter of when. And with another presidential so-called “election” coming up in ‘24, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out it’s coming by this time next year. In fact, I believe by this time next year, disastrous attacks and chaos will be so intense in this country, it will be unlike anything we could possibly imagine now.

Our “leaders” have openly aided and abetted virtually every hostile enemy of the United States for countless years now. Hard working Americans obediently pay their taxes and subsist paycheck-to-paycheck to do so, and all that tax money goes directly to our enemies and those who wish to kill us. But the tax money ran out long ago. Now they’re simply printing more fiat currency and handing it over, which is also working to destroy our once-great nation, with hyper-inflation.

It’s all been done deliberately. We see the victims of war in other countries, and we mourn for the innocent citizens there. But under the current Regime in power in the US, our country has become so evil and wicked, I wonder if anyone will mourn for us when the destruction of our cities — now already well underway — is complete, and our country is occupied by foreign military forces.

Friends, this has nothing to do with “Democrat” or “Republican.” Yes, the Democratic party is more evil than we know, but so is the Republican party — and our “good, conservative” Republicans have done absolutely nothing of any significance to stand against the evil. On the contrary, most of them are complicit in it.

But getting back to the attack on Israel. I have some questions, as I always do, with the “official narrative” that’s pushed by the mainstream media. First, why were Israeli defense forces ordered to stand down for seven hours during the attack, in spite of thousands of calls for help? The television network Al Jazeera aired live stream operations of the attack, but the IDF supposedly remained oblivious, for hours.

And in one of the most volatile places in the world, Hamas paratroopers parachuted into Israeli towns in broad daylight, completely unchallenged, until it was too late. How could that be? Israel has, arguably, the most advanced technology to detect and stop such an attack, but it was not implemented or utilized. Even the missile-stopping “Iron Dome” system suddenly failed to work.

These are just a few of the questions I have, but I think they bear investigating. It’s much like the situation we saw in August when the Globalists burned down the town of Lahaina on Maui, Hawaii. No warnings, despite Lahaina having the most technologically-advanced early warning system in the world. No electricity. Water to fight the fires was turned off. Police deliberately blocked roads to assure people would die in the inferno. The governor of Hawaii, who has long been on board with the Great Reset Agenda, has spoken about a “sustainable SMART city” in Hawaii — at the UN and World Economic forum — multiple times, and just weeks before the fire, signed a declaration making it easier for the government to seize land and “build back better” in the way the government sees fit.

Then look at all the train derailments here in America. Look at all the food processing facilities that have burned to the ground in the last couple of years — amazing that not one of those facilities had an operational sprinkler system or fire mitigation system in place. Look at foreign nationals planting flags of their native countries on American soil. Look at the private money involved. Look at all this stuff, and the best word I can come up with to describe it is “CHAOS.”

The Globalist rulers of this world have now reached a point where we’re literally going from one crisis of Biblical proportions to another without even giving us a chance to catch our breath. They’ve achieved non-stop, world-wide chaos, and I don’t see any “white hats” coming to save us.

The destruction we’re seeing today in Israel is coming soon to our own country. Sleeper cells are already in place, settled in quite comfortably, mind you, in places formerly occupied by elderly veterans and former home-owners who’ve lost everything due to “Bidenomics.” They’re just waiting for the signal to launch the “hot” war — and don’t be deceived into thinking they’re not prepared. They’re far more prepared than our own now-“woke” military is.

Yes, Americans have guns. There are still plenty of patriots and hunters and “good guys” with guns. If you’re not one of them, I’d suggest you start making friends. You’re going to need them. I only learned recently that citizen militias are actually ILLEGAL in all 50 states. Did you know that? So yes, the second amendment guarantees our right to keep and bear arms, but it’s illegal for us to do so in any kind of organized way.

Something very, very bad is coming to our doors, and I don’t see how the regime cannot insist that it begins sometime before this time next year. As censorship of the truth continues to grow, as innocent Americans continue to be persecuted and jailed for crimes they didn’t commit, as the flood of enemies continues to pour in over our borders — all paid for and financed by each one of us obedient taxpayers, and as the wicked politicians and communists continue to ramp up the speed with which they’re lining their own pockets with dirty money...blood money, I can see that time is quickly running out for the United States of America.

Sorry to be the one to give you the bad news. But all this has been well planned for a very long time. Recent surveys now show that even self-identifying “liberals” feel the country is headed dangerously in the wrong direction. Such ones are living in fear of what the future holds, even as they double-down on their Leftist ideologies; they’re so brainwashed they can no longer reason or think. Their foolish hearts are darkened. They’ve been given over to reprobate minds, as they continue to choose to believe the lies. And so they fear.

I fear too. For my children and grandchildren. So precious. I’m sure there are many parents and grandparents around the world, in war-torn countries, who feel the same. So friends, don’t think it can’t happen here. It’s already here. All it’s going to take is for the signal to go out on all those free cell phones the illegals have been given and then we’ll be living a real-life “Red Dawn.” It’s not going to go well for us. But so many chose to do nothing while there was still time. So many chose to ignore obvious truth when it was presented to them, and instead called it all “crazy conspiracy theories.”

The world rulers are orchestrating non-stop chaos. And America is not “untouchable.” America is the primary target now. But our Creator is not a God of chaos, but of order. I believe He’s returning soon, and will crush “chaos” under His feet. Meanwhile, we’ve been commanded to occupy until He returns, being a restraining influence against evil. We must speak the truth, even when no one wants to listen. We must never give up our quest for the truth and never stop being righteous witnesses for Christ. Remember, only he who stands firm ‘til the end shall be saved.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Bank of America reported unrealized losses of $131.6 billion on securities held until maturity in the third quarter, growing from nearly $106 billion in paper losses in the second quarter.

The second-biggest U.S. lender had about $603 billion in held-to-maturity securities, it said in a filing on Tuesday, shrinking from $614 billion in the second quarter.

Unrealized losses have come under closer scrutiny by investors since March. At the time, Silicon Valley Bank sold a portfolio of its holdings at a sharp loss, precipitating its collapse and fueling the worst industry turmoil since the 2008 financial crisis.

Analysts say it is highly unlikely that Bank of America would sell the securities at a loss.

“All of these are unrealized losses are on government- guaranteed securities,” Bank of America’s chief financial officer, Alastair Borthwick, told reporters on conference call discussing third-quarter earnings. “Because we’re holding them to maturity, we will anticipate that we’ll have zero losses over time.”

And yet the holdings of low-yielding assets have also constrained the second-largest U.S. lender’s ability to make higher profit from deploying its cash in money markets or other assets with greater returns.

JPMorgan Chase had unrealized losses of $40 billion in its HTM portfolio in the third quarter.

Citigroup did not disclose paper losses on its portfolio for the third quarter. They stood at $24 billion at the end of the second quarter.

Banks park securities under either available-for-sale (AFS) or held-to-maturity securities.

AFS securities are carried at fair value and subject to mark-to-market losses. If banks have intention to hold debt securities until maturity they keep them in held to maturity portfolio.

Iran warns ‘time is up’ in ominous message to Israel as concerns mount of a World War III

Iran’s foreign minister warned in an ominous tweet Wednesday morning that time is “running out” for Israel following an attack on a hospital in Gaza, as experts grow concerned about a potential third world war.

Hossein Amir-Abdallohian shared the chilling message after hundreds died Tuesday in a missile strike at a Gaza City hospital, which Israel has claimed was caused by a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group.

“After the terrible crime of the Zionist regime in the bombing and massacre of more than 1,000 innocent women and children in the hospital, the time has come for the global unity of humanity against this fake regime more hated than ISIS and its killing machine,” Amir-Abdollahian tweeted.

The Iranian Embassy in Syria also tweeted “time is up” in both Hebrew and Arabic.

The troubling message came just days after Amir-Abdollahian warned that a regional network of militias dubbed the “axis of resistance” would open “multiple fronts” against Israel if it continued to kill civilians in Gaza.

“Time is running out very fast,” Amir-Abdollahian said during a live televised interview with Iranian state television Monday night, according to the New York Times.

“If the war crimes against the Palestinians are not immediately stopped, other multiple fronts will open and this is inevitable.”

The latest warning came just hours after Hamas accused Israel of killing more than 500 people in an airstrike at the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital — which Israel has denied, insisting it was the work of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group.

The terrorist group called the blast “a horrific massacre,” saying it was caused by an Israeli strike. AP

“An enemy rocket barrage was carried out towards Israel, which passed in the vicinity of the hospital when it was hit,” IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in a statement.

“According to intelligence information, from several sources we have, the GAP organization is responsible for the failed shooting that hit the hospital.”

Still, Iran was also quick to condemn Israel for the attack, with Nasser Kan’ani, a spokesman for the country’s foreign ministry, calling it a “savage war crime” an an instance of “genocide.”

He accused Israel of carrying out a “bestial and appalling crime,” and said in a statement: “The Zionist regime of Israel once again revealed its savagery and inhumanity to the world and proved that it has no slightest adherence to the principles and rules of international law during times of war.”

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameni also suggested Israeli officials “should be tried for their crimes.”

Iran’s threats have caused some to become concerned that Iran it escalate the war in Gaza, and could even bring Russia into the conflict — creating a potential Third World War.

Russian officials have already spoken out against the hospital attack, with Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for Russia’s foreign ministry, saying that Israel must provide satellite images to prove it was not involved, according to the Mail.

“So far, Russia and China have remained relatively restrained in their public statements, but if Iran gets directly involved, Russia is likely to feel compelled to support it due to Iran providing important missile and UAV supplies and training support to the Russian military in its war against Ukraine,” Justin Bronk, a senior research fellow at London‘s Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), explained in an essay for the Mail.

Ray Dalio, the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates who doubles as a financial historian, also warned that if the conflict spreads to “major countries, there will be a much more horrific hot World War.

“It seems to me that the Israeli-Hamas war is another classic, unfortunate step toward a more violent and encompassing war,” he wrote on LinkedIn.

King Abdullah II of Jordan, a major US ally, has also said: “This war, which has entered a dangerous phase, will plunge the region into an unspeakable disaster.”

After more than 10 days of the war, at least 3,000 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis have been killed, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Israeli officials have vowed to destroy Hamas in an expected ground invasion of Gaza, with IDF soldiers also looking to rescue the more than 150 taken hostage by Hamas.

General Daniel R. Hokanson, Chief of the US Army National Guard Bureau, has sent a memo saying American troops have a "growing anti-semitism, saying they are against Israel and not willing to put their lives on the line for Israel."

The memo goes on to reveal that CENTCOM "has limited forces and was not expecting a hot war to break out." Stunningly, the memo clearly states "If Hezbollah or other third party forces enter the war, Israel won't be able to defend themselves . . . ."

This is a huge setback for Israel's biggest ally who also shows concern that Hezbollah's entry to the war would be unmanageable for Israel, likely resulting in their defeat.
