Prophetic News 2023 “It’s Not Coming; It’s Already Here”
When I talk about the war on cash and a cashless society, some people think I’m exaggerating the threat or they don’t take it seriously.
But I’m not exaggerating the threat. It’s here, it’s growing and it’ll only get worse. Today I’ll show you the latest example.
The proponents of the cashless society cite convenience as a major benefit. Why bother having to tote a bunch of cumbersome cash and coins around when you can just swipe a card or pay with your smartphone?
Besides, they say, cash enables criminal activity on the black market. Cash is the money of crime. And in some respects, they’re right.
Swiping a card or scanning your smartphone is certainly easier than having to get cash from a bank or ATM and lugging it around in your wallet, dealing with change, etc.
If you eliminated cash and replaced it with digital money, it would impact the black market (though they’d figure out a workaround).
Meanwhile, cash is costlier to produce than digital money and unlike with cash, you don’t need to hire a Brinks truck to move digital money around. No more bank robberies! And all those truck drivers and security guards can now learn to code!
You get the point. And that’s why the war on cash has been so successful. Digital money is simply more convenient to use than cash.
And the surest way to lull someone into complacency is to offer a “convenience” that quickly becomes habit and impossible to do without.
In reality, the so-called “cashless society” is just a Trojan horse for a system in which all financial wealth is electronic and represented digitally in the records of a small number of megabanks and asset managers.
Once that is achieved, it will be easy for state power to seize and freeze the wealth, or subject it to constant surveillance, taxation and other forms of digital confiscation like negative interest rates. Earthquakes - Signpost of Yeshua's Return
Morocco earthquake live updates: More than 2,000 dead in rare, powerful quake. The quake struck Morocco’s High Atlas Mountain range near Marrakech at 11 p.m.
September 9, 2023,
A rare and powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Morocco late Friday night and killed more than 2,000 people in the country's strongest quake in more than a century, according to Morocco's Interior Ministry.
The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the quake had 6.8-magnitude when it hit at 11:11 p.m. locally, with shaking that lasted several seconds. Morocco’s National Seismic Monitoring and Alert Network measured it at 7 on the Richter scale. The U.S. agency reported a 4.9-magnitude aftershock hit 19 minutes later.
Marrakech has a population of almost a million people, a popular tourist destination known for its historic palaces. Marrakech hosted the 2016 United Nations Climate Change Conference. Over 300 dead after cult leader urged fasting to ‘meet Jesus’
More than 300 bodies have been found in Kenya after a cult pastor encouraged his followers to starve themselves in order to meet Jesus. The number is anticipated to rise further as authorities plan to conduct more exhumations in the coming days.
The death toll has risen to 303 after 19 additional bodies were retrieved from mass graves in the expansive forested land of Kilifi County, located on Kenya’s coast, The Associated Press reported. Pastor Paul Mackenzie, who leads what is known as Good News International Church, and his followers established their residential community in the region.
Regional commissioner Rhoda Onyancha told the media that about 613 individuals with ties to the region have gone missing.
Sixty-five of the 95 parishioners rescued from the property were charged with attempted suicide after they staged a hunger strike at a shelter as an act of protest against their detention. READ MORE:
Persia (Iran) Daniel 8: Iran Forces SWARM U.S. Warship; Russia & Iran GROUND Forces to Collaborate?
August 21, 2023
A dangerous confrontation between the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps released video over the weekend of its speedboats and drones harassing a U.S. warship and landing ship as they passed through the Strait carrying some 4,000 U.S. soldiers. Are the Biden administration’s continued attempts to strike deals with the Iranian regime only emboldening Iran’s mullahs? Plus, an Iranian delegation is in Moscow today planning greater coordination between Russian and Iranian ground forces. What exactly does that mean? Watch now! Netanyahu: Iran funding terror wave in Israel
Watch full speech (Hebrew). “We are in the middle of a terrorist onslaught that is encouraged, guided and funded by Iran and its proxies,” the prime minister said.
AUGUST 21, 2023,
Iran is funding the recent wave of terrorism in the West Bank, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said as he made an unusual visit to the site of Monday’s deadly terrorist attack in the West Bank’s South Hebron Hills.
“We are in the middle of a terrorist onslaught that is encouraged, guided and funded by Iran and its proxies,” Netanyahu said.
Gallant pointed a finger at Tehran, stating that Iranian funding marks a “significant change,” leading to more weapons reaching Palestinians in the West Bank. “A significant
The terrorism is “all guided by Iran, which is looking for any way to harm Israeli citizens,” Gallant said. “We will reach the terrorists and will take additional actions that will ensure the security of the citizens of Israel and make those responsible pay a price.”portion of this wave of terrorism came from external guidance,” he added. Biden Administration Abandoning Israel for Ruling Mullahs of Iran
August 16, 2023
"For the last year and a half, Iran stated clearly that its main strategy is to make the Samaria region [of Israel] another Gaza." The Iranians... are "pouring money and smuggling weapons into the region. They are supporting Hamas and the PIJ [Palestinian Islamic Jihad] and other factions within the Palestinian Authority." — Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi, former deputy commander of the IDF's Gaza Division, Fox News, July 24, 2023.
More than 19 Iranian regime-backed groups that are targeting Israel and US interests in the region meet the U.S. "terror designation criteria, " according to Joe Truzman, in the report, "Iran and its Network of Nineteen Terrorist Organizations on Israel's Borders". The Biden Administration, however, has not added them to the list of foreign terror groups.
"Over the last four decades, the Iranian regime has built a network of armed groups on Israel's borders to create instability and foment terrorism. Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and a mosaic of other terrorist organizations receive funding, training and weapons from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – Quds Force (IRGC-QF)." — Joe Truzman, "Iran and its Network of Nineteen Terrorist Organizations," fdd.org, 2023.
What is mind-boggling is that the Biden Administration criticizes Israel but then turns a blind eye to Iran's military buildup near Israel's borders -- all while Iran fires missiles into Israel from Syria, ships ballistic missiles to Israel's self-declared enemy, Hezbollah, and continues to threaten exterminating Israel down the pike.
The Islamist regime of Iran has repeatedly made its policy clear: it wants Israel to be wiped off the map. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who enjoys the final say in all of Iran's domestic and foreign policies, proclaimed to the youths of Iran that they will soon witness the demise of Israel and all of American civilization. This announcement was confirmed on the Supreme Leader's official website.
Khamenei also made Iran's intentions clear while meeting with students in 2019, declaring:
"You young people should be assured that you will witness the demise of the enemies of humanity, meaning the degenerate American civilization, and the demise of Israel".
The commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Hossein Salami, also made the strategy of the Iranian government vehemently clear by stating, "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."
In addition, Khamenei posted a Twitter tirade attacking Israel, and stating that "the Zionist regime will perish in the not so far future." Why does Iran call for the destruction of Israel?
Author writes that beyond mere propaganda, the very existence of Israel leads Muslims to spiritual destruction and prevents them from fulfilling their destiny and spiritual redemption.
Since its inception, the Islamic regime has preached the destruction of Israel. It displays slogans on missiles calling to wipe Israel off the map, and its officials often quote the founder of the Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, who claimed that Israel was a cancerous tumor that must be eradicated.
The current Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, even “predicted” in 2015 that Israel would cease to exist within 25 years. Since this “prophecy” the regime counts the days until its realization in 2040. It has placed a countdown clock on the pilgrim route to the holly Shiite sites in Iraq and takes care to mention the issue through posters and articles published on Khamenei's official website.
The genocide vision is reserved exclusively for Israel. The regime in Tehran has never called for the destruction of other enemies, not even Iraq. The two countries waged a bloody war for eight years, during which chemical weapons were used against Iran and its cities were attacked with massive missile fire.
the basis of the profound change in the Islamic Revolutionary regime's attitude toward Israel and of the notion that it must be weakened until its demise is first and foremost religious-ideological. From it, stems the strategy of Iran and of its proxies in the region, especially Hezbollah. The famous speech of the secretary general of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, in which he compared Israel's strength to a “spider web” that can be wiped off easily, resonates this exact ideology.

Must Watch: Lawlessness: Some Parts of America Are Already on the Verge of Being Ungovernable as Rampant Lawlessness Spreads Like Wildfire
August 13, 2023
In order for a civilized society to function, most people have to willingly follow the rules of that society. If that happens, law enforcement authorities can deal with the few that choose to be lawless. For generations, that is how things worked in America. There was a high standard of morality among the general population, and so the police were able to successfully handle the few bad apples that insisted on breaking the law. But now everything has changed.
As a result of decades of extreme moral decay, lawlessness is rampant and there are vast multitudes of young people that openly flaunt the rules of our society. In fact, there are already some areas of the country that are literally on the verge of being ungovernable.
A perfect example of what I am talking about happened in southern California on Saturday. Dozens of lawless young thieves systematically looted the Nordstrom store at the Westfield Topanga mall, and they were able to get away with tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise…
Shoppers at the Westfield Topanga mall in Canoga Park were in for quite a shock when dozens of thieves ransacked the Nordstrom inside the mall on Saturday, Aug. 12, smashing displays and stealing an estimated $60,000- $100,000 worth of merchandise, authorities said.
Earlier this week a high-end designer store in Glendale, California was looted by dozens of people in another flash mob burglary on Tuesday.
At least 30 suspects “flooded” the Yves Saint Laurent store in The Americana at Brand Tuesday afternoon and stole clothing and other merchandise before fleeing on foot and leaving the location in numerous vehicles, said police in a statement.
The total loss is estimated to be approximately $300,000.

Daniel 8: Persia and the West U.S. Troops to CONFRONT Iran at Sea & Challenge Iranian PIRACY in Persian Gulf?
August 4, 2023
On today’s Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck’s breaks down the U.S. military’s possible plan to deploy U.S. troops to guard commercial shipping in the Persian Gulf from Iranian piracy. This unprecedented move would be meant to send a message to the Iranian regime and prevent Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps from seizing shipping, in particular in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. But does Iran believe the Biden administration is bluffing, given its desperate attempts to re-establish the Iran nuclear deal? Or is conflict on the horizon? Watch now!

NWO - Biden's Legacy: The Axis of Tyrannies
A New World Order Dominated by China, Russia and the Iranian Regime, with North Korea Heading Up the Rear
July 29, 2023
As the Biden Administration has unfortunately created a leadership vacuum throughout the world, its apparent risk-paralysis and feeble leadership seem quickly to be leading to a new world order led by the Axis of Tyrannies: China, Russia and Iran, with North Korea heading up the rear.
[T]he weak and possibly compromised administration of U.S. President Joe Biden appears to have enabled and empowered the autocrats of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, all of whom seem to be working overtime to create a new authoritarian world order with themselves at the helm.
Iran, which has already declared a new world order, is, even beyond its accelerating nuclear weapons program, swiftly trying to reshape the world militarily and geopolitically wherever Western nations appear to be losing power. The Iranian regime also appears to be wasting no time indoctrinating it citizens with anti-Western and anti-American points of view.
Since the Biden Administration assumed office in 2021, its vacuum of leadership in the Middle East has led to the increasing influence of China and Iran in the region; the decision by the Gulf nations to dodge the US and tilt towards China, and even to the China-brokered deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran that further sidelines the U.S. READ MORE: Leprosy - surging in Part of US
Cases of leprosy, 'historically uncommon' in US, surge in central Florida, CDC says
Physicians warn about Florida travel as leprosy spreads
August 2 2023  More unusual pestilence cropping up Cases of leprosy are surging in central Florida, according to a recent research letter shared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Prolonged per person-to-person contact through respiratory droplets is the most widely recognized route of transmission. Leprosy, that is also known as Hansen disease, is a chronic infectious disease that primarily affects the skin and peripheral nervous system. It has been "historically uncommon" in the U.S., according to the CDC.The World Health Organization says leprosy occurs in more than 120 countries and that more than 200,000 new cases are reported every year. As of 2019, Brazil, India and Indonesia all reported more than 10,000 new cases, while 13 other countries each reported 1,000-10,000 new cases.The authors said that the Sunshine State has "witnessed an increased incidence of leprosy cases lacking traditional risk factors," with trends contributing to "rising evidence that leprosy has become endemic in the southeastern United States.""Travel to Florida should be considered when conducting leprosy contact tracing in any state," they wrote. Over 1,800 terrorist attacks in the first 6 months of 2023 in West Africa
July 30, 2023
The first half of 2023 saw a surge in terrorism in West Africa, the leader of a regional bloc told the U.N. Security Council, disclosing that over 1,800 attacks were recorded, leading to about 4,600 deaths.
Omar Touray, president of the 15-nation Economic Community of West African States, also known as the ECOWAS Commission, said the victims aren’t just those who lose their lives in the attacks, The Associated Press reported.
Half a million people have become refugees, fleeing their homes due to the violence, Touray said, adding that nearly 6.2 million have been internally displaced.
The region is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis, Touray told the Council, warning of potential future disaster. He noted that 30 million people in the region are in need of food aid. If the international community doesn’t respond adequately, that number could rise. By the end of next month, 42 million people might need help, he said.
Touray pointed to several factors contributing to the insecurity, of which terrorism is one. Others include armed rebellion, organized crime, unconstitutional government changes and environmental crises. Even fake news has played a role.
nternational Christian Concern, a U.S.-based persecution watchdog, sees this spread of terrorism as part of a global Jihad.
Responding to Touray’s disclosure, ICC expressed concerns about Islamic extremists’ aims to enforce extreme Sharia law wherever they conquer. It explained in a statement that this poses a significant threat to Christian communities in the region who are often singled out as targets.
The Rebuilding of the Third Temple Moving Forward
July 2023
Just when we thought the chaos of the pandemic had subsided, the world is faced with even more astonishing revelations. It appears that prophecies dating back centuries from Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist traditions are starting to materialize. While some may dismiss these prophecies as mere tales from the past, their gradual fulfillment is becoming increasingly eerie. So, what do these prophecies entail?
The nation of Israel, situated in the Middle East along the Mediterranean Sea, holds immense historical and religious importance for Christians, Muslims, and Jews alike. Jerusalem, its capital, is home to numerous sacred sites such as the Temple Mount, the Old City, the Western Wall, and Mount Zion, all of which play a pivotal role in these prophecies.

All it takes is just one trip, and once your biometric data is in the database you will receive some free money and a new "digital identity" that you will be able to use all over the Internet. Doesn't that sound grand? As you will see below, hundreds of thousands of people in Europe have already signed up. Those that have created Worldcoin intend for it to be "a new identity and financial network" that is owned by everyone on the entire planet.Once you sign up for Worldcoin, your new "World ID" will be issued to you. Ultimately, the goal is for the entire Internet to start using this new "World ID" system...Worldcoin consists of a privacy-preserving digital identity (World ID) and, where laws allow, a digital currency (WLD) received simply for being human. We hope that, where the rules are less clear, such as in the U.S., steps will be taken so more people can benefit from both.he goal is simple and modest: To create a system that will, eventually, freely distribute tokens to all eight billion people on the planet, as a form of universal basic income (UBI). But because the rise of AI will make it tricky to figure out who is human and who's a digital fake, Worldcoin first needs to create a system that lets people -- all people, across the globe -- prove that they are in fact human beings.The idea of a "universal basic income" certainly appeals to a lot of people out there.Especially the lazy ones.But if you want your free money, you have got to visit "The Orb". Iranian hornet's nest of terror groups surround Israel amid calls for new US sanctions
July 24, 2023
New report says Iran continues to fund, arm terror groups on Israel's borders
Iran’s clerical state has repeatedly called for the obliteration of Israel. The U.S. government has classified, under both Democrat and Republican administrations, the Islamic Republic of Iran as the world’s worst international state sponsor of terrorism.
Many of the 19 Iranian regime-supported entities targeting Israel and U.S. interests have not been outlawed, according to the new report published by the Washington, D.C.-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD).
The FDD report said, "Over the last four decades, the Iranian regime has built a network of armed groups on Israel’s borders to create instability and foment terrorism. Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and a mosaic of other terrorist organizations receive funding, training and weapons from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – Quds Force (IRGC-QF)."
While Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the IRGC have been classified by the U.S. government as terrorist entities, the following Iranian regime-backed groups on Israel’s borders are not listed on the U.S. Foreign Terror Organization list: Abd Al-Qadir Al-Husseini Brigades, Badr Organization, Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Lions' Den, Liwa Al-Quds and Popular Resistance Committees.

July 22, 2023
Thanks to the appeasement policies of the Biden and Obama Administrations, the ruling mullahs of Iran, called by the US State Department the top state sponsor of terrorism, have now also emerged as a major arms exporter. Moreover, coupled with imminent nuclear bombs, they appear determined to ramp up their exports even further.
Due to the Biden Administration's appeasement and Obama's nuclear deal, the Iranian regime has doubled down on enriching uranium to 84% (weapons grade is 90% ); vowed to become "one of the world's largest arms exporters"; caused former US allies Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to turn to the Chinese Communist Party for protection; escalated aggression in the Middle East to push the US out of the area; and expanded Iran's military presence in Latin America to threaten the United States.
Iran currently possesses the largest and most diverse ballistic missile program in the Middle East. No country other than Iran has acquired long-range ballistic missiles before obtaining nuclear weapons. While ballistic missiles can be used for either offensive or defensive purposes, the sophisticated ones are mainly developed as delivery vehicles for nuclear weapons.

Daniel 8 Iranian Threat in America's Backyard, Thanks to The Biden Administration
July 8, 2023
Thanks to the Biden Administration's apparently lack of policy towards Latin America as well as the Administration's policy of appeasement towards Iran's Islamist regime, the ruling mullahs have been freely violating sanctions and increasing their influence in America's backyard without facing any consequences.
Iran began significantly increasing its influence in Latin America after US President Joe Biden assumed office, most likely assuming, apparently correctly, that the Biden Administration would not take any action against the regime.
The Iranian regime's terror cells have indeed grown in Latin America.

Back at home the Iranian regime continues to enrich uranium to levels slightly below those needed for nuclear weapons breakout, all of which -- along with China set to militarize Cuba -- is a clear and present existential danger to the United States.
Thanks to the Biden Administration's non-existent leadership in Latin America combined with an appeasement in overdrive, Iran -- which the US Department of State has called the "world's worst state sponsor of terrorism" – is taking over America's backyard: Latin America. The Iranian regime is creating terror cells, exporting its Islamist ideology to Latin America, gaining access to Latin American passports, expanding the number Iranian-trained imams and militants in Latin America, increasing recruitment of radicals – while back at home the regime continues to enrich uranium to levels slightly below those needed for nuclear weapons breakout, all of which -- along with China set to militarize Cuba -- is a clear and present existential danger to the United States.

Teacher scolds students for not accepting other students’ animal identity
JUN 22, 2023 
Gender identities pushed by the woke are endless, so much that most people have lost track of how many of them there are. Over 100 sounds about right at this point. But once you defy the science of two genders — a belief still upheld by most Americans — there is no end to how many more genders people may claim to have, or even as what they may identify. For instance, there are people who identify as animals; they are broadly called “furries.”
This is being promoted as part of the “LGBTIQ” community. The media has for some time tried to explain the phenomenon, which apparently differs in nuance among different people, but it does come down to a salient fact: for its proponents, there are no limits to what a person can claim to be.
The New York Post reported:
Students at woke schools in the UK have been identifying as neogender “furries” like horses, dinosaurs and even curse-casting moons — sparking outrage from Britain’s top leader and a government investigation.
Now:
The British government is reportedly set to launch an investigation into a secondary school after a teacher was recorded scolding two girls who refused to accept that their classmate could “identify as a cat” and that there are more than two genders.
Rye College, a state secondary school in East Sussex, England is facing a government probe following revelations that teachers and school officials are indulging children who claim to be cats or other non-human identities.

Sodom in the Church: 
UMC church hosts 'family friendly drag show' with children, 'furries' in attendance
May 18, 2023
Protesters, drag performers and at least one adult in a so-called “furry” costume were on hand last weekend for a “family-friendly drag show” that was moved to a local church at the last minute.
The “Pride Prom” event hosted by Grayson County Pride was originally scheduled for May 13 at Pecan Grove Park West in Sherman, located about 65 miles north of Dallas.
Including a “gay” Spiderman holding a rainbow flag — showed up outside the church. Another person held a rainbow flag with the libertarian motto “Don’t tread on me.”
Later in the evening, Sherman police officers were seen escorting drag performers and even a person in a “furry” costume around the location.
A statement on the FUM Sherman website indicated that the church is an LGBT-inclusive congregation: “We are young and old, married and single, gay and straight, liberal and conservative, non-conformists and traditionalists, those recovering from addictions, those still battling addictions, and those whose challenges take other forms.
“We are imperfect children of God who find meaning and purpose as followers of Christ, and who find authentic community at [the UMC church].” Iran has enough uranium for five nukes, not just one - Gallant
Gallant’s statement made it clear that the Islamic Republic’s build-up of its nuclear arsenal in-waiting continues.
May 5, 2023
Iran has enough enriched uranium for five nuclear weapons, should it decide to weaponize it and complete the detonation and delivery tasks for firing a weapon, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Thursday.
“Iran is not sufficing with one nuclear bomb,” he told his hosts during a visit to Greece. “It has already accumulated enough enriched uranium at the 20% and 60% levels for five nuclear bombs.”
“If Iran enriches to the 90% weaponized level, it would be a great error and the price would be heavy, and there would be consequences which could inflame the Middle East,” he added.
“To have Iran being able to threaten every city in the United States with nuclear blackmail is a changing of history,” he told a visiting congressional bipartisan delegation.
“Iran is 50 North Koreas,” he said. “It is not merely a neighborhood bully like the dynasty that rules North Korea.”
“This is an ideological force that views us, Israel, as the small Satan and views you as the Great Satan,” Netanyahu told the delegation US watchful for surprise Israeli attack on Iran as nuclear crisis intensifies
With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu taking Israel’s security hostage over his sour relations with the White House, Washington is no longer sure what to expect from Israel on Iran.  May 5, 2923More than a decade ago, as Israel was debating whether to launch a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, the Israel air force carried out a large-scale exercise that included over 100 fighter jets, refueling, reconnaissance and support planes flying westward over the Mediterranean Sea. The route was designed to resemble an attack trajectory toward Iran, albeit in the opposite direction.Twelve years on, Netanyahu is still Israel’s prime minister. Iran's nuclear infrastructure is far more developed, largely buried deep underground. Gallant said on Thursday that Iran had enriched enough uranium to make five nuclear bombs. But one thing has not changed: The Americans still fear a surprise Israeli military attack and they are once again dispatching senior officials here and making calls to top decision-makers to ensure it does not happen.Iran is also keen to know. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi made a historic visit to Syria this week, the first in 12 years, that Tehran described as an "important strategic victory." It is hard to disagree with this assessment. "There is no escaping the feeling that they are successfully tightening the radical axis of evil," a senior Israeli political source told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity. "Whereas Israel was until recently the one that forged anti-Iran alliances and extensive cooperation in the Middle East and beyond, this situation has been reversed. Iran has turned the hourglass upside down."Pointing to Raisi's trip to Syria that concluded on Thursday, the source saw more worrying signs for Israel. "To see President Raisi watching Israeli outposts on the Golan Heights through binoculars or meeting with the heads of the Palestinian terrorist organizations in Damascus is not really encouraging," New World Order in the Making: The Great Reset  Imagine a not-so-distant future where you own nothing and have no privacy.

Recent terrorist attacks, rocket fire part of Iran's proxy war against Israel.

After a week that featured two deadly terrorist attacks and rocket fire in the north and the south of the country, "War is much closer than peace," assesses Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror, a former National Security Advisor and head of research in IDF Military Intelligence.
"America is no longer the same America it once was in terms of preparedness," Amidror told Radio 103FM. "And the Iranians have noticed this. The United States has much more complex issues to deal with than the Middle East right now, and the rest of the world sees Israel differently from the way it used to."
Amidror added that, "Iran is now more self-confident than it was and has succeeded in crafting more and more agreements with Arab countries. The world is changing, and the chances of things deteriorating still more are greater than ever.
The Iranians are pushing hard to create unrest," he continued. "We haven't seen anything quite like this before. Things have reached boiling point, and even if we aren't yet seeing the volcano erupt, it doesn't mean that things aren't bubbling inside.
The Iranians are fomenting trouble on a scale that we haven't seen in years and are doing their best to escalate things, including on the Temple Mount, which provides them with a pretext. Tomorrow is Iran's Jerusalem day and from their point of view, it will be the perfect time to escalate things on the Temple Mount," Amidror warned.
In the Last Days - Dangerous times will Come World faces ‘most dangerous period of time in history’ – Trump April 13, 2023
The former US president has warned that incompetent leaders and advanced weaponry have imperiled humanity more than ever
The world has been pushed to the brink of total destruction by inept leaders and nuclear weapons that are 500 times as powerful as the atomic bombs that American forces dropped on Japan during World War II, former US president Donald Trump has claimed.
“Look, we could end up in World War III over this whole thing,” Trump said in a Fox News interview that was aired on Wednesday night. He added, “I believe it is the most dangerous period of time in history – number one, because we have people on top that are incompetent. That’s number one.
Trump also warned that nuclear weapons are the biggest threat facing the world today, and the US and Russian arsenals could cause unprecedented destruction. “All it takes is one madman, and you’re gonna have a problem the likes of which the world has never seen.”
Trump, who is currently polling as the leading Republican Party candidate in the 2024 presidential race, blamed current US leadership for heightening the risk of nuclear war with Russia and China.
“The most dangerous period of time – because of weaponry, because of nuclear, because of weaponry – the most dangerous period of time in the history of our country and in the history of the world.
Celebrating Evil - SatanCon Sells Out With Largest Satanic Gathering In US
April 10, 2023
Should we be surprised? As our society comes apart at the seams all around us, Satan and Satanism are becoming extremely popular.
Videos featuring Satan are getting millions of views on TikTok and YouTube, millions of Americans are watching shows that feature Satan as a main character on Netflix and other streaming services, and the Satanic Temple has become one of the fastest growing religious organizations that the United States has ever seen.
As you will see below, traditional American values are declining at a very rapid pace, and it was inevitable that something would fill that void. In fact, it turns out that Satanism's "values" correspond almost perfectly with the "values" that much of the population has already embraced in this day and age.
Once upon a time, most Americans were repulsed by anything that had to do with Satan.
But now Satan is eagerly welcomed into homes and hearts all over the nation.
Today, Satan has become one of the hottest spiritual figures in America, and that is unlikely to change any time soon. The following comes from a Newsweek article entitled "Satan is Getting Hot as Hell in American Pop Culture"...
The Devil is front and center in movies, TV shows, podcasts and even children's books. There are Satan After School Clubs, while the proliferating Satanist groups have their own political divisions.
There's The Exorcist Files, in which Father Carlos Martins recreates exorcisms, and the podcast routinely tops the list of the most popular in the "spirituality" categories. On Netflix alone there are dozens of titles dealing with hellish demons, including Warrior Nun, Devil in Ohio, The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself and Lucifer, in which the ruler of Hell runs a piano bar in California. Comedy is also fair game, thus Ted Danson plays a torturous demon who is prone to mistakes in the Netflix series, The Good Place.
On top of everything else, a major convention is coming up.
It is being billed as "the largest satanic gathering in history", and it is being held in Boston at the end of April...
This year's event is taking place in Boston, Massachusetts, from April 28-30, 2023, and is titled "Hexennacht in Boston" -- otherwise known as "Witches Night." On the announcement page, the Satanic Temple (TST) laments Boston Mayor Michelle Wu "for her unconstitutional efforts to keep TST out of Boston's public spaces" and announces that the event will be dedicated to her.
In return, purchasers are promised a "weekend of blasphemy and remembrance."
In the old days, maybe a few fringe weirdos would get together for something like that.
But this year's "SatanCon" was completely sold out six weeks in advance.

Los Angeles LGBT Center to host drag queen march Easter Sunday
The march will take place in West Hollywood, California, and is expected to have over 1,000 participants
April 9, 2023
The Los Angeles LGBT Center, an organization that provides "programs, services and global advocacy" to LGBT identifying people, plans to host a drag march Easter Sunday in protest against "anti-LGBTQ+ legislation."
A tweet by the Los Angeles LGBT Center reads, "This year alone, there are over 400 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation on the books. On Easter Sunday (April 9th), we'll gather in our Sunday Best to show the world what we're made of – and that we're not going back."
The Los Angeles LGBT Center also provided a list of other organizations that partnered with the group to help them create "Drag March LA."
"This Easter, more than 1,000 Angelenos will gather in their Sunday Best for a strut down Santa Monica Blvd," the website states. "The LGBT Center will team up with over 40 LGBTQ+ organizations, faith groups, queer and trans activists, and drag artists to mobilize against the tidal wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the U.S. with the all-ages Drag March LA."

Top US general says ‘multiple options’ ready if Iran develops nuclear weapon
March 24, 2023
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said Iran could produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon in less than two weeks.
The US military has “multiple options” if Iran decides to develop a nuclear weapon, the Pentagon’s top general told lawmakers Thursday.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told a House Appropriations Committee hearing that Iran could produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon in less than two weeks, after which it would take several more months to develop a nuclear weapon.
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl said last month that it would take Iran “about 12 days” to amass “one bomb's worth of fissile material.”
"The United States remains committed as a matter of policy that Iran will not have a fielded nuclear weapon," Milley told lawmakers.
“We, the United States military, have developed multiple options for our national leadership to consider if or when Iran ever decides to develop an actual nuclear weapon,” he said.
On Thursday, Iran's military forces concluded naval drills jointly conducted with China and Russia in the Gulf of Oman that were seen as a major show of military might to its Western foes. According to China's CCTV, the drills included live-fire suppression and strike practice with nighttime communication exercises.
US base in Syria attacked by Iranian proxy forces after retaliatory airstrikes
March 24, 2023
Iran proxy forces launched about seven rockets targeting a U.S. base in Northeast Syria today in retaliation to the U.S., a defense official confirms to Fox News.
In first assessments, there are no U.S. casualties and no damage to the base near the Al-Omar oil field.
The rocket attacks came after President Biden ordered a series of retaliatory strikes after a suspected Iranian-made drone killed a U.S. contractor and wounded six other Americans on Thursday.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement that the American intelligence community had determined the drone was of Iranian origin, but offered no other immediate evidence to support the claim. The drone hit a coalition base in the northeast Syrian city of Hasaka. The wounded included five American service members and a U.S. contractor.
Teaching Perversion to the Kids
March 22, 2023
A Canadian city has enacted a measure to criminalize protests near city facilities amid a growing number of demonstrations at drag queen events held for children at libraries.
The Calgary City Council voted 10-5 to pass a new bylaw last week prohibiting protests near city facilities, known as the Safe and Inclusive Access Bylaw. The policy went into effect immediately.
The measure stipulates that protests targeting any race, religion, gender, gender identity, gender expression, disability, age, place of origin, marital or family status, sexual orientation, or income source must not take place within 100 meters (328 feet) of a public library or city-operated recreation center entrances. The measure applies during operational hours and one hour before and after operational hours.
Additionally, the bylaw prohibits protesters from impeding anyone's entry or exit to a recreation facility. The council also amended the term "harassment" under its existing Public Behaviour bylaw to include "intimidation."
Shortly after the bylaw took effect, Calgary Police arrested 36-year-old Pastor Derek Reimer of Mission 7 Ministries and charged him with one count of breaching a release order that prohibited him from being within 200 meters of events involving the LGBT community, according to Rebel News.
Reimer was previously arrested on March 2 after an incident on Feb. 25 where three men forcefully removed him from the Seton Library location of the Calgary Public Library for protesting an event with local drag performers reading to children, according to Fox News.
Earlier this week, the pastor was also issued a 30-day trespass notice after he held a silent prayer session in the Municipal Building to protest against the new bylaw.
"Everyone who is visible, everyone in Canada who is boldly proclaiming Christianity, has become an open target," said Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who serves as pastor of Street Church and Cave of Adullam Church in Calgary,
"Calgary was immune for a little bit from the drag queen perversion — because that's what it is: it's a sick, twisted perversion. ... An adult man who dresses as a woman in a sexual manner and has the urge to do that in front of little children is a pervert, end of story."
Reimer faces charges that include one count of causing a disturbance, one count of mischief, and six counts of harassment under the city's bylaw regulating public behavior, according to Livewire Calgary.
Earthquakes around the world
13 People Dead After Powerful Earthquake Hits Afghanistan, Pakistan
March 22, 2023
A magnitude 6.5 earthquake rattled Pakistan and Afghanistan on March 21, killing at least 13 people and injuring hundreds of others, with strong tremors felt in several North Indian states.
The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude at 6.5, while the Pakistan Meteorological Department reported a 6.8 magnitude. The epicenter of the earthquake was Afghanistan’s Hindukush region, bordering Pakistan and Tajikistan.
Nine of the reported deaths were from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan. At least 44 people were injured as their homes collapsed, according to the Pakistani disaster management authority.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Twitter that he had ordered the National Disaster Management Authority and other related institutions “to be ready to deal with any emergency” following the quake, according to an English translation.
In Afghanistan, at least four people were killed, including a child, and 70 others were injured in affected provinces, according to Sharafat Zaman Amar, a Taliban-appointed spokesperson for the Public Health Ministry.
“Unfortunately, there could be more casualties as the quake was so powerful, in most parts of the country,” Zaman Amar said, adding that all hospitals and health facilities are ready to save lives.

The usual suspects at the Munich Security Conference prepare us for World War III
The Munich Security Conference has produced bad news
Russian leaders could be looking at Nuremberg 2.0. That’s bound to make a few people in Moscow nervous, especially those old enough to remember what happened to Yugoslav strongman Slobodan MiloÅ¡ević and his entourage.
The outlook in Asia is no less fraught. Taiwan remains on edge, as the country tries to guess China’s next move. Here too, the news from Munich wasn’t reassuring.
The outlook in Asia is no less fraught. Taiwan remains on edge, as the country tries to guess China’s next move. Here too, the news from Munich wasn’t reassuring.
“What is happening in Europe today could happen in Asia tomorrow,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi did nothing to contradict that narrative. “Let me assure the audience that Taiwan is part of Chinese territory,” Wang told the conference when asked about Beijing’s designs on the self-governed island. Taiwan “has never been a country and it will never be a country in the future.” READ MORE:

Twitter users erupt in outrage after drag queens wearing thongs dance for kids
March 7, 2023
An organization that promotes drag events for moms and babies recently made its social media pages private following controversy over footage of scantily-clad drag performers dancing in front of children.
Videos circulating on social media show a group of moms sitting on the floor with their children as drag artists wearing lingerie dance and perform acrobatics. In one video, a drag artist wearing leather and thigh-high boots does gymnastics while hanging from ropes suspended from the ceiling. Another drag performer seen in the video wears a thong while doing a handstand in front of the cheering crowd.
The event was part of the VAULT Festival, an independent showcase of live performers in the United Kingdom.
“Over the weekend, I was sent some shocking screenshots and videos of a Drag Event at the Honor Oak Pub,” Samuels wrote. “Little did I know, it would get worse.”
“This from a recent ‘family-friendly’ drag event geared towards babies in England,” Libs of TikTok tweeted Wednesday, also sharing video clips of the event.
The group behind the performance, the U.K.-based organization CabaBabaRave, advertised the event as a “show-stopping cabaret interspersed with captivating baby sensory moments.. ending in a RAVE.”
The hosts, Lizzie and Gemma, are described as “Two performers turned mums who were constantly looking to be entertained whilst holding a baby in one hand and a pint in the other.. so CABABABARAVE was born.”

41 more Texas churches leave United Methodist Church amid schism over homosexuality
March 7, 2023
Another 41 congregations (pro-homosexual) in Texas have officially left The United Methodist Church in response to the mainline Protestant denomination's ongoing debate over its stance on homosexuality.
The UMC North Texas Annual Conference held a special called session on Saturday in which clergy and lay members voted to approve the disaffiliation votes of 41 congregations that formerly belonged to the regional body.
According to a statement emailed to The Christian Post by a conference spokesperson, the regional body "releases these churches with its full blessing," adding that no churches seeking to leave the UMC were denied dismissal.
"Following the day's vote, more than 230 churches in the North Texas Conference remain committed to the mission and values of The United Methodist Church and will continue to help people grow in their love for God; proclaim new life in Christ; serve others — especially the poor; and pursue mercy and justice so people can live whole lives," the statement reads.
More than 1,800 churches successfully disaffiliated from the UMC last year, according to a report by UM News, with hundreds of those departing congregations being located in the Lone State State.
WITH DAYS TO GO – BIBI PREPARES TO STRIKE IRAN
March 3, 2023
If the reports are true, Iran will have enough nuclear material for its first bomb. Netanyahu’s return to power means that a strike on Iran’s facilities becomes a real possibility.
With all the civil unrest in Israel and growing security situation in Judea and Samaria, one wonders if Israel is heading for its own uprising, The truth is, it doesn’t really matter. For Bibi, the best cover for an attack is to allow the various challenges Israel is facing to be front and center. With the world focusing on other stuff – an Iran attack can have the desired effect it is meant to.
Netanyahu recently called a meeting with IDF top brass in order to prepare for a serious war. Does this mean Israel is about to attack Iran?

AI and Religion
Artificial intelligence is changing how we interact with everything, from food to healthcare, travel and also religion.
Experts say major global faiths are discussing their relationship with AI, and some are starting to incorporate this technology into their worship. Robot priests can recite prayers, deliver sermons, and even comfort those experiencing a spiritual crisis.
BBC Global Religion reporter Sofia Bettiza has taken a look at whether AI’s relationship with religion is just a gimmick, or whether it can truly `transform how people experience faith.

Church of England discusses gender-neutral God
February 7, 2023
If liberal clergy get their way, the Almighty Father may be stricken from the Scriptures
Liberal Christians are pushing the Church of England to abolish gendered references to God from scriptures and services, the Telegraph reported on Tuesday. Describing God as a man, they argue, is a “theological misreading.”
sitting of the General Synod – the Church’s lawmaking body – this week. According to the Telegraph, the Reverend Joanna Stobart of Bath and Wells asked the Liturgical Commission what steps were being taken “to develop more inclusive language in our authorized liturgy.”
Stobart said that she wanted more options to “speak of God in a non-gendered way,” and more prayers that didn’t refer to God “using male pronouns.”
The Liturgical Commission is responsible for setting out how church services are conducted, including what kind of language is used during these services.
The Church of England differs from the Catholic Church in several key ways: It does not recognize the Pope as the one appointed ‘Vicar of Christ’, it allows clergy to marry, and it permits women to be ordained, all while delegating more authority to individual bishops and ministers. Thus, while orders from the Vatican forbid Catholic priests from blessing same-sex unions, the General Synod of the Church of England is currently preparing for a divisive vote on the matter this week.

New TST Health facility in New Mexico will be called 'The Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic'
Feb 1, 2023
The Satanic Temple is opening a health clinic in New Mexico to provide "free religious medication abortion" and will name the facility "The Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic" in mockery of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, who authored the opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
TST Health, the new medical services arm of the nontheistic religious organization, will provide telehealth screenings and appointments to provide abortion pills to patients. These services will be provided free of charge as part of The Satanic Temple's "abortion ritual," though patients must still pay for the medications from a pharmacy, which typically cost around $90, according to the TST Health website.
The New Mexico facility will be operated by licensed medical staff and will make its services available to state residents who are at least 17 years old, up to 11 weeks pregnant and medically eligible for an abortion.

Church of England’s first 'gender-queer' priest shares hope of 'normalizing it for children'
'When I’m wearing my collar, it lets children know that is OK,' priest says
January 2023
The first “gender-queer” priest in the Church of England hopes “normalizing it for children” will be a priority for the church.
Rev. Bingo Allison, a biological male who identifies as non-binary, said God was guiding the 36-year-old into a “new truth” about gender identity, according to an interview with a British newspaper.
Allison, who has a wife and three children, told the Liverpool Echo that a late-night study of Genesis 1:27 and its language of “maleness to femaleness” led to what Allison called a “deepening spiritual experience.”
“I properly felt God was guiding me into this new truth about myself,” Allison was quoted as saying. “One of the things that has kept with my ministry ever since is that transition and coming out can and should be a spiritual experience, as well as an emotional and social and sometimes physical one.
“There is something beautiful about growing into who we were created to be and growing into our authentic selves.”
Iran vs the West: Daniel 8
Analysis: Stakes rise as Iran can fuel ‘several’ atom bombs
January 26, 2023
Iran has enough highly enriched uranium to build “several” nuclear weapons if it chooses, the United Nations’ top nuclear official is now warning. But diplomatic efforts aimed at again limiting its atomic program seem more unlikely than ever before as Tehran arms Russia in its war on Ukraine and as unrest shakes the Islamic Republic.
The warning from Rafael Mariano Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in response to questions from European lawmakers this week, shows just how high the stakes have become over Iran’s nuclear program. Even at the height of previous tensions between the West and Iran under hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad before the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran never enriched uranium as high as it does now.
For months, nonproliferation experts have suggested Iran had enough uranium enriched up to 60% to build at least one nuclear weapon — though Tehran long has insisted its program is for peaceful purposes. While offering a caveat on Tuesday that “we need to be extremely careful” in describing Iran’s program, Grossi bluntly acknowledged just how large Tehran’s high-enriched uranium stockpile had grown.
“One thing is true: They have amassed enough nuclear material for several nuclear weapons, not one at this point,” Grossi said.

Blast at Baptism Service in DR Congo Kills 14 Christians
Islamic State affiliate suspected in bombing of church.
January 22, 2023
Muslim militants were suspected in the bombing of a Protestant church baptism service in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) that killed at least 14 worshippers on Jan. 15, officials said.
While DRC officials said at least 14 died and 63 were wounded in the blast in Kasindi, in the eastern DRC, a spokesman for Uganda’s military operations in the DRC, Bilal Katamba, reportedly said it killed 16 people and wounded at least 20 others of the Church of Christ of the Congo (Eglise du Christ au Congo, or ECC).
Officials suspected the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) carried out the attack. The Islamic State claims the ADF, an Islamist rebel group, as its affiliate in central Africa. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the bombing, saying “nearly 20” people were killed, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP), citing the SITE Intelligence Group.
Church elder Paluka Kivugha said two men entered the church building and left a bag, which contained an IED that soon detonated.
“People were just flying in the air and falling down lifeless – it was a painful Sunday, everyone inside was trying to get his or her way out, but some couldn’t because their legs had gone off,” Kivugha told Morning Star News. “The bomb killed children and their parents. I was traumatized and suffered some pain all over my body, but thank God I survived.” READ MORE:

“But even though we just keep getting hit by one major crisis after another, most people still do not get it. Almost everyone seems to be under the impression that the massive problems that we are experiencing right now are ‘just temporary’ and that everything will ‘return to normal’ soon.
“Meanwhile, apocalyptic scenarios continue to unfold all around us at a breathtaking pace.

WILL WESTERN NATIONS DESIGNATE IRAN’S REVOLUTIONARY GUARD A TERRORIST ENTITY?
January 16, 2023
The Trump administration was the first Western nation to declare Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) a terrorist entity. More Western nations seem to be willing to jump aboard.
The question is, why now?
Western nations have grown considerably more worried about Iranian covert operations on their soil. While in the past they looked the other way, now they have realized that their passivity has given Iran a green light to expand its influence Westward.
More importantly though is the increasing probability that Prime Minister Netanyahu will order a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Western world wants to stop such a strike by any means and if declaring the IRGC a terrorist entity does the trick then its worth it.
The West is crumbling. Decadence and fear reign and it appears that all that stand in the way of Iran’s unending expansion is Israel. Will it receive any awards or accolades for knocking out Iran’s nuclear program? No. But it will do it anyway.
The Satanic Temple dedicating 'largest satanic gathering in history' to Boston
January 8, 2023
SatanCon 2023 will take place in downtown Boston from April 28 to 30 and registered guests are required to wear masks and show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination, according to the organization.
"Attendees must wear an N-95, KN-95, or disposable surgical mask," the temple said on its site. "Gaiters, bandanas, and cloth masks will not be allowed.
The theme of the gathering in celebration of The Satanic Temple's 10-year anniversary is "Hexennacht in Boston," German for "Witches' Night," which marks the ancient pagan holiday of May Eve. The night was later changed to Walpurgisnacht to commemorate Walpurga, a Christian saint who evangelized Germany and was said to have exorcised demons from the sick.
TST denies belief in a personal devil, claiming its mission is "to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense and justice, and be directed by the human conscience to undertake noble pursuits."

I certainly don’t need to tell any of you that 2022 was a very tough year for the economy. It truly was a year when “everything started to fall apart”, and lots of prominent voices on Wall Street are now warning that things will get even worse in 2023.
So there is no hope on the horizon, and higher rates will continue to crush economic activity for the foreseeable future.
And with each passing day, what is happening to the economy is becoming clearer and clearer. For example, we just learned that Salesforce will be laying off approximately 8,000 workers…
Throughout 2022, there was just one historic disaster after another. It seemed like I was constantly writing about droughts, famines, wildfires, hurricanes, giant storms, earthquakes, volcanoes and tornadoes.
Unfortunately, I believe that the 12 months that are ahead of us will be even worse. If you doubt this, just consider what has been happening over the past few weeks.
In late December, a colossal “bomb cyclone” brought a “once in a generation storm” to the Midwest. In fact, the blizzard that we witnessed in Buffalo was the worst storm in the entire recorded history of the city.
Just as we were recovering from that, a mammoth “atmospheric river” slammed into the west coast. Some parts of California received more than four feet of snow, and there was catastrophic flooding in other areas.
Now here we are just a few days later, and another “bomb cyclone” is about to hammer California. According to the National Weather Service, this is going to be a “truly brutal” storm…
These days, it seems like a different disease is making global headlines each week.
A few weeks ago everyone was talking about RSV, and then it was Strep A, and now this week a new “super variant” of COVID is deeply alarming authorities…

Religious leaders gathering from world religions to recreate 10 Commandments on Mt. Sanai:
In Sinai, a Prophetic Call for Climate Justice and Ceremony of Repentance
Between November 6th and 18th, 2022, the UN climate conference COP 27 will take place on the Sinai Peninsula, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Religious communities and religious leaders have a key role to play in addressing climate change and climate justice, which requires deep transformation within society.
The knowledge of what changes are critically needed to diminish long-term harm to the planet is readily available. However, bringing about change in action demands deeper changes in attitude, a change of heart. This has been the domain of religions for millennia. Religions are sources of inspiration for the transformation of heart and the ensuing changes of attitude.
Mount Sinai is a mountain whose memory and meaning loom large as a place of revelation in the collective consciousness of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and others. As an ancient sacred space, it was the site of prophetic experience, and receiving God’s message, for the prophets Moses and Elijah in all three Abrahamic traditions, and the prophet Muhammed in the Muslim tradition. COP 27 taking place in Sinai can remind humanity of our sacred responsibility to care for God’s creation.
We come to Sinai in a movement of repentance and quest. We seek a new vision for humanity and its endangered existence, and we seek to receive and amplify a message of life-sustaining living and habits that humanity needs to hear today. In this spirit, the project partners will bring together premier religious leaders from the world’s major religions to put forth a prophetic interreligious call to action: “Ten Universal Principles for Climate Justice.”

China Is “Preparing For War”
November 8, 2022
Chinese President Xi Jinping has just announced that China will be “preparing for war”, and that should deeply alarm all of us. Needless to say, nobody is going to be attacking China any time soon. So why would the Chinese need to prepare for war if there is zero chance that they will be attacked? Unfortunately, the answer is obvious. The only reason China would be engaged in a military conflict any time soon is if it chooses to invade Taiwan. The moment such an invasion is launched, the United States and China will be at war. The Chinese know this, but Chinese President Xi Jinping is going ahead with preparations for war anyway…
And it turns out that many officials in Japan also see the need to prepare for a coming conflict with China…
If China were to attack Taiwan, it wouldn’t just have to face a hostile superpower. It would also likely have to confront its longstanding regional rival, Japan. For centuries, Japan and China have vied for hegemony in East Asia; at times, they have threatened each other’s survival. Today, as I found from three days of meetings with Japanese officials and analysts in Tokyo, the threat of Chinese aggression is producing a quiet revolution in Japanese statecraft — and pushing the nation to get ready for a fight.
Tensions just continue to intensify month after month.

The Dangerous Nexus: Russia and Iran's Mullahs
November 11, 2022
The Iranian regime, which has long argued that it is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons... has lately changed its tone and is boasting that it currently has the ability to build a nuclear bomb.
Biden's new nuclear deal, if reached, will also allow Russia to cash in on a $10 billion contract to further expand Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
Sadly, this still seems to be the legacy that the Biden administration wants to leave: Iran's predatory regime, the top state sponsor of terrorism, armed with nuclear bombs, and an empowered Russia that does not hesitate to use aggression and military force to invade other countries.
First of all, Iran's theocratic establishment is rushing to cross the nuclear threshold in order to become a nuclear-armed state. Iran wants Russia to help it bolster and speed up its nuclear program. On October 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accurately warned:
"In eight months of full-scale war, Russia has used almost 4,500 missiles against us. And their stock of missiles is dwindling. Therefore, Russia went looking for affordable weapons in other countries to continue its terror. It found them in Iran."
The River Euphrates is Drying Up
The Euphrates River - Drying Up
"The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East." Rev 16:12
Since Jesus Christ proclaimed that only God knows the hour or day of the Second Coming, preachers and self-appointed doomsayers have been predicting when it would occur – and seeing the sun rise on yet another generation. Even those who chastise date-setters often say, "God's final judgement is coming soon, probably in our lifetime, so get ready." In recent weeks, prophecy interpreters have cited a new reason for believing the apocalypse is approaching. Anxious debates have erupted on prophecy websites, in Bible study groups, and in churches. But why are they all so concerned right now? What exactly is the reason behind it? To know about this, we have to tell you about the terrifying story of the Euphrates River.

Wars and Rumors of them:
US Rushes Nuclear Warheads to Europe, Russia Warns of Response
October 29, 2022
Russia said Saturday the accelerated deployment of modernized U.S. B61 tactical nuclear weapons at NATO bases in Europe would lower the "nuclear threshold" and Russia would take the move into account in its military planning.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered the gravest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis when the two Cold War superpowers came closest to nuclear war.
Russia has around 2,000 working tactical nuclear weapons while the United States has around 200 such weapons, half of which are at bases in Italy, Germany, Turkey, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Politico reported Oct. 26 the United States told a closed NATO meeting this month it would accelerate the deployment of a modernized version of the B61, the B61-12, with the new weapons arriving at European bases in December, several months earlier than planned.
"We cannot ignore the plans to modernize nuclear weapons, those free-fall bombs that are in Europe," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told state RIA news agency.

WHO issues warning on tuberculosis
The UN health watchdog says the number of infections is rising globally
October 29th 2022
The number of people infected with tuberculosis (TB) has increased globally for the first time in nearly two decades, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
In its report published on Thursday, the WHO revealed that a total of 10.6 million people were diagnosed with tuberculosis last year, with 1.6 million more succumbing to the disease. The latter figure rose for the second consecutive year. The UN health agency clarified that the Covid-19 pandemic had contributed to the spike in TB-related deaths as lockdowns prevented many patients from getting a diagnosis or receiving treatment.
Tuberculosis is a viral and potentially deadly disease, which mostly affects the lungs. Malnourished individuals and those with a weakened immune system are particularly at risk of infection.
Daniel 8: This vision is for the time of the End (8:17) Reference to their Antichrist Imam
Iranians Will Become Masters of the World, After Annihilating Israel; They Will Pull
The Zionists One by One from Their Homes and Finish Them Off
October 14, 2022
Alireza Panahian, the Deputy Head of Iran's Ammar Strategic Advisory Base, said in a sermon that was aired on Khorasan Razavi TV (Iran) on July 17, 2020 that it isn't angels who are supposed to descend from the sky and slap the "arrogant" people, but that the Iranian people themselves are supposed to do this. He elaborated that people used to believe that the Hidden Imam and his army will emerge by a miracle and take over the region, but that people now know that it will not be a miracle.
Rather, he said that Iran already has soldiers throughout the region who are willing to sacrifice their lives, as well as missiles that are ready to be launched as soon as an opportunity presents itself. The sermon had originally been delivered before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Alireza Panahian: "There isn't some miracle that is supposed to happen. The angel Gabriel is not supposed to descend from the skies with other angels and say: 'Oh people, remain in your homes. God is fed up with the way things are, so I brought some angels and demons to solve the problems and slap those who are arrogant.' No! No! We are the ones who are supposed to slap them, and we are capable of doing this.
"Up until 20 years ago – even after the victory of the Revolution – people used to say that the Hidden Imam would arrive and take over the region. We thought that it would happen through a miracle, but now we know that it won't be a miracle. It requires a military, and [the Hidden Imam] has a military – but its soldiers are unorganized... Right now, we have a strong multinational military. Our bases are known, and throughout the region we have underground missiles that are ready to be launched. We are just looking for the opportunity.
"If you hear news that the Hidden Imam has appeared and that his soldiers have come forth from Iran and Yemen... You even know these soldiers.
"You have family members who serve in the IRGC, in the military forces, and in the army. They are all ready to give their lives. They are all familiar with the region. We are familiar with the Yemenis, and we know who our soldiers in Syria and Iraq are."
AMERICA PREPARES TO CONFRONT IRANIAN THREAT
August 3, 2022
The free world is at risk from the unsanctioned development of nuclear weapons by a rogue state. Nuclear missiles in the hands of an unstable regime with deep ties to terrorist groups present a supreme danger to the civilian public back home, so there is no choice but to respond. One of the world’s most legendary air forces must turn to its experienced flyers to train its rising generation of top pilots and personnel for a high-risk mission, requiring all of their skill and from which they might not return: a bombing run on the rogue nation’s development of enriched uranium as fuel for nuclear weapons.
Iran has left no doubts about its willingness to use WMD against Israel if given the opportunity. In 2001, former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani shrieked that “the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything,” while the response would only damage the aggressor. In 2005, then-incumbent Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.” In 2007, at the U.N. General Assembly, Ahmadinejad demanded a world without Israel and urged the “big powers” of America and Europe to eschew their “obedience to Satan” and “submit to the will of G-d,” lest “calamities will befall them.” “This is the promise of G-d,” he said. “Therefore, it will be fulfilled.”
Iran has doubled down on a nuclear strategy they hope will render them immune from American or Israeli defensive action, as well as allows them to do the unthinkable—use WMD against a civilian target and potentially kill millions in a second Holocaust.
Another Rumor of War:
'War over food and energy, not nuclear proliferation, is the greatest possibility'
An interview with decorated business consultant
August 1, 2022
The Islamic Republic of Iran continues to formulate threats and dire predictions for the destruction of the State of Israel. The Jewish state, meanwhile, deflects the threats and invokes increasingly aggressive strategies, to do what? Is the ideal regime change, or is all-out war in the offing?
I think we have a couple of different issues here. The first is that I believe the entire international community, with very few exceptions, would agree that we wish Iran’s regime would change for a more moderate and reasonable form of government. That’s unlikely, and there doesn’t appear to be much appetite for regime change operations along the size of Afghanistan or Iraq, etc., etc.
But what I think you are seeing is a series of actions that are meant to message to Iran’s senior leadership several things. First, that – if the reports are true, I want to caveat that – that Israel is able to reach out at its time of its own choosing with extraordinary surgical precision and neutralize threatening actors and operational activity by Iran. This sends a message to Iran’s senior-most leadership that if they just stop this activity, Israel stops its operational work.
Likewise, by setting back programs, it actually buys time for diplomacy, which admittedly there’s little reason to be hopeful about diplomacy at present. Nonetheless, anything that slows Iran’s nuclear program, its terrorist operations, in essence prevents things from happening that might tilt us toward a conventional conflict. READ MORE:

FORGET ABOUT ISRAEL – IRAN THREATENS TO NUKE THE USA
August 1, 2022
While Israel worries about a potential war with Iran, the regime in Tehran appears to be confidant enough to now threaten America.
In a video shared on the IRCG’s Telegram account, Iran threatens to build nuclear weapons and nuke NY.
Iran often makes outlandish threats, but this time with nuclear breakout actually happening, nuking NY is no longer a melodramatic response to being cornered.
Caroline Glick tweeted the following out Monday: “Iran is threatening to nuke New York. We warned this would be the consequence of America’s refusal to confront Iran with any seriousness. We warned this would be the end state of Obama-Biden’s nuclear appeasement. The progressives attacked us as warmongers. They did this.”
So while Biden continues to negotiate with Iran, the regime increases its threats. Perhaps its time that Biden and his government realize that negotiating with the enemy will only bring destruction and ruin.

THE EMERGING UNHOLY ALLIANCE BETWEEN RUSSIA, TURKEY AND IRAN
July 25, 2022
Less than a week after U.S. President Joe Biden left the Middle East following a visit that focused on the informal Israeli-Sunni Arab alliance in the region, Russian President Vladimir Putin boarded a plane to Iran, the leader of the opposing Shi’ite axis. Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan of Turkey joined the summit in Tehran.
The three regimes represented in Tehran are not friends of the West. Russia is engaged in a brutal war against Ukraine and dishes out threats to European countries on a weekly basis. Iran funds terrorist proxies across the Middle East, has a robust nuclear weapons project, and has stated many times that it seeks the complete annihilation of the United States and Israel.
This is not enough. When Iran is emboldened enough to transfer sophisticated UAVs to Russia and attempt to bring Turkey into its orbit, the West must see Iran for what it is and what it is attempting to do: conquer the region in the name of the Islamic revolution. Iranian leaders say this on a daily basis. We need only listen. READ MORE:

Israel may strike Iran over atomic program
26 July 2022
Defense Minister Benny Gantz has pushed back against possibility of restoring the nuclear deal
Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz suggested his country could launch a strike against Iran’s nuclear program, calling it “a global problem” at a conference on Tuesday. He also criticized the 2015 nuclear deal – abandoned by the US in 2018 – and the possibility of its revival, though the negotiations to that effect don’t seem to be going anywhere.
“Iran is a global problem. It is not just Israel’s private problem,” Gantz said in Jerusalem, during a conference hosted by Israel’s Channel 13. “We are able to seriously harm and delay the nuclear [program],” he added, when asked if Israel was capable of delaying Iran’s progress towards creating an atomic weapon or stopping it outright.

ISRAELI AIRSTRIKES BOMBARD IRANIAN BASES NEAR DAMASCUS
July 23, 2022
Israel struck Syria late Thursday night, blowing up a large Iranian arms depot just outside of Damascus.
Despite Russian warnings to Israel to stop attacking Iranian targets in Syria, the IDF appears be fully committed to bombing strategic sites in Syria.
This attack hit a wide swath of sites in southwest Syria that had been used by the Iranians to store advanced weapons before shipping them to Hezbollah. Israel attacks these sites on a regular basis in order to keep these sorts of weapons out of the hands of Hezbollah.
The attack on Syria Thursday night has big significance in that it is the first attack after Iran announced it can already build a nuclear weapon.

AFTER BIDEN’S MIDDLE EAST TRIP, ISRAEL ANNOUNCES THAT IT WILL ATTACK IRAN
July 18, 2022
Soon after President Biden’s Middle East trip, where Israel and its Sunni’s allies pushed the Americans to halt negotiations with Iran, IDF Chief Gen. Kochavi announced that Israel is in active preparations to attack Iran.
While Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran have been going on for some time, the public revelation of such an attack is the first such statement any active general in the IDF has made. Why now?
Two reasons are very clear. The first is that the Gulf States and Israel want to send a message to the American administration that the USA is not needed for the strike. Furthermore, the weakness of America is what is leading the region to war, not the other way around.
Iran has finally admitted they can already make a nuclear weapon. This revelation reveals what most have known all along that the Iranian nuclear program was designed to reach a nuclear weapon. This revelation is serious and pushes the region even closer to war. WATCH VIDEO:

Oxfam condemns G7 for ‘leaving millions to starve’
June 29.2022
Global aid group Oxfam has eviscerated the G7 countries for pledging a pittance to fight the global food crisis
The G7 countries are “leaving millions to starve and cooking the planet,” global aid group Oxfam’s head of inequality policy, Max Lawson, declared in a statement issued on Tuesday, condemning the mere $4.5 billion the industrialized nations have pledged to fight the worst hunger crisis in decades.
Lawson argued that “at least $28.5 billion more” was needed to “finance food and agriculture investments to end hunger and fill the huge gap in UN humanitarian appeals.
The UN World Food Program begged the G7 nations to “act now or record hunger will continue to rise and millions more will face starvation” last week, declaring that it had a plan – “the most ambitious in WFP’s history” – requiring $22.2 billion to “both save lives and build resilience for 152 million people in 2022.”
It’s not clear where they obtained that figure, as the G7 countries themselves have said that 323 million people are on the brink of starvation because of this year’s dire food crisis, with 950 million expected to go hungry in total in 2022.

Iran said building vast new underground tunnels to hold nuclear enrichment facility
June 17, 2022
New York Times says US and Israeli officials have been monitoring new construction at Natanz for a year; Defense Minister Gantz first alluded to site in speech last month
Iran is constructing a vast new network of tunnels at its Natanz nuclear site that could house a massive enrichment facility that would be impervious to bunker-busting bombs and cyberattacks, the New York Times reported Thursday.
The report said that the US and Israel had been monitoring construction at the site for several months, but had refrained from commenting on it publicly, with the exception of a brief remark made last month by Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
“At this very time, Iran is making an effort to complete the production and installation of 1,000 advanced IR6 centrifuges at its nuclear facilities, including a new facility being built at an underground site near Natanz,” he said,
“Iran continues to accumulate irreversible knowledge and experience in the development, research, production, and operation of advanced centrifuges,” Gantz said.
“It stands just a few weeks away from accumulating fissile material that will be sufficient for a first bomb, holds 60 kg of enriched material at 60%, produces metallic uranium at the enrichment level of 20%, and prevents the IAEA from accessing its facilities,” he added, before revealing the construction at Natanz.
Israel and Iran: Five minutes to Armageddon
June 16,2022
Israel and Iran are rapidly approaching an inflection point over Tehran’s nuclear program, and what was the atomic equivalent of a controlled clash between the two countries is now devolving into an unconstrained chain reaction. In late May, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations agency tasked with globally overseeing nuclear technology and use, reported that Iran possesses enough fissile material to construct a nuclear bomb. Jerusalem’s long-feared specter of Tehran becoming an existential threat to Israel is now very real and imminent.
The Pentagon fully realizes that time is not on Israel’s side, nor that of the U.S. and its allies. In March, now-retired Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, then commander of U.S. Central Command, testified in a Senate hearing that Iran has “3,000 ballistic missiles,” including variants capable of reaching Tel Aviv, while assessing Tehran’s nuclear “breakout” is now measured in “weeks,” not “months.”
Jerusalem’s planning must anticipate Hezbollah, Hamas and other Tehran-backed militias aggressively responding in kind if Israel launches a raid into Iran. In all likelihood, before Israel’s air forces could return to Israeli airspace, massive volleys of rocket fire would be hitting the country from Lebanon, Gaza and Syria — and possibly even from Iran itself. Striking Iran’s nuclear facilities would be only the beginning, not the end, of a hot war between Israel and Iran.
Prepared or not, Israel and Washington both appear to be out of time — Iran’s threat is substantial, and it is only intensifying. Until now, Jerusalem’s “war between wars” covert approach against Iran was sufficient to tactically frustrate Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, largely via sabotage and assassinations of key Iranian nuclear physicists. It no longer is — not when HEU is 60 percent enriched. Measured in Doomsday Clock terms, it is five minutes to midnight in Jerusalem and Tehran — and in Megiddo, the historical biblical site of Armageddon in Israel.

ISRAEL ATTACKS SYRIA – IRAN THREATENS TO WIPE OUT TEL AVIV AND HAIFA

In reaction to the attack and the assassination of a chief scientist, Iran threatened to level both Tel Aviv and Haifa.
While no confirmation was made by Israel that they assassinated the Iranian scientist, Prime Minister Bennett appeared to hint at it on Twitter. The hint has since drawn the ire of Israel’s security establishment as it endangers agents in the field.
The attack in Syria comes at a dangerous time for Israel. The Bennett-Abbas government is on the brink of collapse giving Israel a serious leadership vacuum. According to intelligent reports, Iran is said to be closing in on enough nuclear material for three bombs. If this is the case then Israel must act and act now. WATCH VIDEO:

Iran seizes two Greek tankers in Persian Gulf
MAY 31, 2022
The grave threat of Iran is compounded by its Doomsday theology, which asserts that at the end of days, the Hidden Imam will appear in the midst of a violent apocalyptic scenario — likely provoked by Iran itself — and played out on a battleground stained with the blood of infidels.
Iran is becoming increasingly emboldened, thanks to the Biden administration’s obvious weakness. Iran’s paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps seized two Greek oil tankers in the Persian Gulf “in helicopter-launched raids in the Persian Gulf….The action appeared to be retaliation for Athens’ assistance in the U.S. seizure of crude oil from an Iranian-flagged tanker this week in the Mediterranean Sea over violating Washington’s crushing sanctions on the Islamic Republic.”
Iran will continue to escalate as a global menace, while America under Biden will increasingly become a global laughing stock.

Family members murdered Eman Sami Maghdid, 20, known as "Maria." Her "crime" was having embraced Christianity and abandoning the marriage she had been forced into at the age of 12. Her 18-year-old brother and perhaps uncle responded by slaughtering her on Sunday, March 6. Her body "tied with a tape, thrown at the side of the road, with many stab wounds
"John Michael Okero was quoting verses from the Koran about Christ [during an open-air evangelistic meeting] ... when a Muslim identified only as Shakuuru grabbed the microphone from him. He and other Muslims started beating Okero as they accused him of blaspheming Allah by saying that he has a Son
They beat him to death with iron bars, stones and sticks and later burned his body to a chant in the Ateso language referring to a thief who steals people from one religion to join a bad religion, the source said. Okero was 43."
Six Muslim men killed and mutilated three Christian men (two brothers and one of their sons). The Christians were working on their field when the Muslims unexpectedly attacked and killed them, before proceeding to carve their bodies with knives while reportedly singing and dancing. READ MORE:

Putin demands Russia gain control of Jerusalem church as promised
Transferring the ownership of the land could cause diplomatic trouble for Israel at a time when its Western allies have been sanctioning Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
APRIL 18, 2022
Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that Israel grant his country control of the Alexander Courtyard in Jerusalem as the previous Israeli government had promised, in a letter delivered to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday.
Putin’s letter came barely a day after the Foreign Ministry in Moscow slammed Foreign Minister Yair Lapid for accusing Russia of war crimes in Ukraine, saying that Israel is using Ukraine to cover up for its own conflict with the Palestinians. The Russian Foreign Ministry also summoned Israeli Ambassador Alexander Ben Zvi for a reprimand on Sunday.
Transferring the ownership of the church land could cause diplomatic trouble for Israel at a time when its Western allies have been sanctioning Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised Putin that Russia could take over the landmark in 2020, as one of a series of gestures meant to help free Naama Issachar, an Israeli woman held in a Russian jail on drug charges. Soon after, Israel’s Land Registry commissioner listed the Russian government as the owner of the church.

Biden Administration, EU and Iran's Mullahs: Historical Mistake Repeating Itself
April 9, 2022
The Biden administration and the EU do not need to go too far back to see the outcome of those appeasement policies and the nuclear deal with Iran. Its theocratic regime became more determined than ever, as an oblation, an offering to God, to annihilate Israel.
Right after the nuclear deal, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who enjoys the final say in Iran's domestic and foreign policy, published a 416-page book, titled "Palestine," with a cover featuring a map of the Middle East with no Israel in it.
In the book, Khamenei details his plan of destroying Israel and characterized himself as "the flag bearer of Jihad to liberate Jerusalem."
The more the Islamic Republic became empowered due to the appeasement it received, the more it boasted that it could destroy Israel "in less than eight minutes."

Biden caused an uproar by using the phrase because it clearly reveals what is in the offing.

New World Order? Pandemic and war rattle globalization
Mar. 27, 2022
Globalization, which has both fans and detractors alike, is being tested like never before after the one-two punch of COVID and war.
The pandemic had already raised questions about the world's reliance on an economic model that has broken trade barriers but made countries heavily reliant on each other as production was delocalized over the decades.
Companies have been struggling to cope with major bottlenecks in the global supply chain.
Russia's war in Ukraine has raised fears about further disruptions, with everything from energy supplies to auto parts to exports of wheat and raw materials under threat.
Larry Fink, the head of financial giant BlackRock, put it bluntly: "The Russian invasion of Ukraine has put an end to the globalization we have experienced over the last three decades."
"We had already seen connectivity between nations, companies and even people strained by two years of the pandemic," Fink wrote in a letter to shareholders.
But U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, disagrees.
"I really have to push back on that," she told CNBC in an interview. "We're deeply involved in the global economy. I expect that to remain, it is something that has brought benefits to the United States, and many countries around the world."
4 dead after 7.4-magnitude earthquake hits coast off Japan's Fukushima prefecture
A 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit eastern Japan late Wednesday night, killing at least four people and injuring over 100 others, and cutting power to millions of homes.
One of the people who died was a man in his 60s who lived in the city of Soma, the local disaster prevention office said on Thursday.
The quake hit off the coast of Japan's eastern Fukushima prefecture, a region devastated by a powerful quake and tsunami 11 years ago that resulted in a nuclear power plant meltdown.
The quake was originally designated 7.3-magnitude, but was upgraded to 7.4 on Thursday.
A tsunami advisory was issued after Wednesday's quake for the coastal prefectures of Fukushima and Miyagi, but was lifted on Thursday morning.

Apple’s ‘pregnant man’ emoji shows just how much trans activists are reconstructing our culture
FEBRUARY 1, 2022
Sometimes small things are big indicators. Take, for example, one of the latest additions to the Apple emoji factory: In addition to a “gender-neutral pregnant person” (enjoy figuring out that phrase), the new choices include a graphic of a “pregnant man”. At least, that’s what we’re informed it is. It could also just be a dude wearing a blue shirt stretched over his beer belly, which would a) make way more sense and b) would have been people’s first guess like five years ago.
We now have children’s shows from Blue’s Clues to Spongebob Squarepants featuring trans characters (including, I kid you not, a post-op beaver cartoon character that had a double-mastectomy); cereal boxes for kids teaching them about preferred pronouns; public school lessons on choosing your gender; drag queens reading stories to toddlers; adults insisting that children are entitled to block puberty.
And on the whole “pregnant man” front, we’ve seen an entire media cottage industry dedicated to human interest stories plugging the nonsensical idea that males can get pregnant in order to get us used to the idea. You see, those of us who grew up in a society slightly less insane than this one won’t be persuaded by much of this (unless we’re as detached from reality as, say, Joe Biden) — but the next generation is growing up increasingly seeing this as actual reality.

25 Jan, 2022
More than 120 LGBT priests, teachers and Church volunteers in Germany have launched an initiative – OutInChurch – and demanded that Catholic higher-ups toss away their long-standing disdain for homosexual relationships and grant them greater freedoms within the Church.
The group said they want “to be able to live and work openly as LGBTIQ+ persons in the church without fear,” including to serve in all Church occupations, even while in same-sex marriages or partnerships. They also urged the Church to revise “outdated statements” on gender and sexuality, oppose “all forms of discrimination,” and allow LGBTQ persons to receive holy sacraments.
The Church should rectify a wrong by admitting its “institutional history of guilt” toward gay people, the group said in its list of demands published online. READ MORE:

Iran Revolutionary Guards commander says 'revenge' coming for Soleimani strike from 'within' US
Brigadier General Esmail Ghaani urged America to 'deal' with those involved in the attack
January 8, 2022
The leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that revenge for Lt. General Qassem Soleimani’s death will come for the United States from "within" the country itself.
Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Forces, was killed in a Jan. 3 U.S. strike in Baghdad, days after Iranian-backed militia supporters stormed the U.S. embassy in Iraq.
Brigadier General Esmail Ghaani, who replaced Soleimani, spoke during the second anniversary of Soleimani’s death, which Iran has labeled as "martyrdom." Ghaani underscored the republic’s dedication to avenging the general’s death, saying that the "ground for the hard revenge" will come from "within" the homes of Americans.
"This revenge has begun," Ghaani added. "Americans will be uprooted from the region."

Joe Biden’s presidency is in free fall. From corona to Kabul, there is a foreboding sense that the US is on retreat and being brought down from the inside.
No foe senses this more than Iran. After all, the US is in negotiations with Iran and yet fighting a soft war with its leaders at the same time. There is nothing more weak than negotiating with your enemy as he continues to attack you.
The latest attacks consisted of drone strikes by the Iranians on US forces stationed in Iraq. On January 3rd, the two year anniversary of the targeted killing of Iranian terror mastermind Qassem Soleimani, Iranian forces launched two drone attacks on US forces stationed at Baghdad’s International airport.

2022 may prove to be the year that the maneuvering of the last few years blow out into open war. Despite the media’s attempts to paint the Russian/Ukraine conflict as the main theatre, the Chinese Iranian axis continues to be the main event. China has indicated that it will take advantage of the Biden regime in order to take over Taiwan and while Russia may invade Ukraine, Iran will for sure move forward with advancing towards nuclear breakout, thus resetting the Middle East and potentially the world.
A nuclear Iran means that Israel will be forced to attack and that will invite a counterstrike by Iranian affiliated Hezbollah. In fact, Iran does not need a nuclear weapon to lay waste to Israel. Hezbollah’s missiles are enough. The nuclear weapon and ICBM program is for the broader globe. WATCH the Video:

Holes in the story of the Iran Nuclear Deal Risk Western Public Security
January 3, 2022
The West is boxed into a trap
The United States, as the figurehead of Western thought, is caught in the vice. Anti-Western actors, which are those individuals and parties whose agenda is to dismantle the Western-style of society, close in on all sides of the Western map.
This, the Financial Times reports, is a “dangerous phase” of negotiation. The IRGC Ambassador to London has warned Western powers that the regime “will not accept threats.” The Ayatollah has taken the stance that he will “not let history be repeated” when it comes to the Iran nuclear deal.
“Should the Islamic Republic of Iran collapse, scattered retaliation is a possibility and one threat should not be ignored,” said Christine Douglass-Wiliams, a Jihad Watch expert contributor, and former external advisor to Canada’s Office of Religious Freedom, a now-defunct chapter of Canada’s Foreign Affairs ministry.
“Iran is the seat of Shia Islam and ascribes to Doomsday ideology. The Twelver branch is the largest and espouses that the last hidden Imam, the Mahdi, will appear as promised amid the apocalyptic upheaval on the battlegrounds of infidel blood being spilled,” she explained.
Williams explained that a sudden collapse of the IRGC would likely stimulate retaliation from its many terror branches. This ripple effect would not be silent and could spread globally.

WILL WESTERN NATIONS DESIGNATE IRAN’S REVOLUTIONARY GUARD A TERRORIST ENTITY?
January 16, 2023
The Trump administration was the first Western nation to declare Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) a terrorist entity. More Western nations seem to be willing to jump aboard.
The question is, why now?
Western nations have grown considerably more worried about Iranian covert operations on their soil. While in the past they looked the other way, now they have realized that their passivity has given Iran a green light to expand its influence Westward.
More importantly though is the increasing probability that Prime Minister Netanyahu will order a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Western world wants to stop such a strike by any means and if declaring the IRGC a terrorist entity does the trick then its worth it.
The West is crumbling. Decadence and fear reign and it appears that all that stand in the way of Iran’s unending expansion is Israel. Will it receive any awards or accolades for knocking out Iran’s nuclear program? No. But it will do it anyway.

The Satanic Temple dedicating 'largest satanic gathering in history' to Boston
January 8, 2023
SatanCon 2023 will take place in downtown Boston from April 28 to 30 and registered guests are required to wear masks and show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination, according to the organization.
"Attendees must wear an N-95, KN-95, or disposable surgical mask," the temple said on its site. "Gaiters, bandanas, and cloth masks will not be allowed.
The theme of the gathering in celebration of The Satanic Temple's 10-year anniversary is "Hexennacht in Boston," German for "Witches' Night," which marks the ancient pagan holiday of May Eve. The night was later changed to Walpurgisnacht to commemorate Walpurga, a Christian saint who evangelized Germany and was said to have exorcised demons from the sick.
TST denies belief in a personal devil, claiming its mission is "to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense and justice, and be directed by the human conscience to undertake noble pursuits."

2023 Will Be “Here We Go!”
January 4, 2023
I certainly don’t need to tell any of you that 2022 was a very tough year for the economy. It truly was a year when “everything started to fall apart”, and lots of prominent voices on Wall Street are now warning that things will get even worse in 2023.
So there is no hope on the horizon, and higher rates will continue to crush economic activity for the foreseeable future.
And with each passing day, what is happening to the economy is becoming clearer and clearer. For example, we just learned that Salesforce will be laying off approximately 8,000 workers…
Throughout 2022, there was just one historic disaster after another. It seemed like I was constantly writing about droughts, famines, wildfires, hurricanes, giant storms, earthquakes, volcanoes and tornadoes.
Unfortunately, I believe that the 12 months that are ahead of us will be even worse. If you doubt this, just consider what has been happening over the past few weeks.
In late December, a colossal “bomb cyclone” brought a “once in a generation storm” to the Midwest. In fact, the blizzard that we witnessed in Buffalo was the worst storm in the entire recorded history of the city.
Just as we were recovering from that, a mammoth “atmospheric river” slammed into the west coast. Some parts of California received more than four feet of snow, and there was catastrophic flooding in other areas.
Now here we are just a few days later, and another “bomb cyclone” is about to hammer California. According to the National Weather Service, this is going to be a “truly brutal” storm…
These days, it seems like a different disease is making global headlines each week.
A few weeks ago everyone was talking about RSV, and then it was Strep A, and now this week a new “super variant” of COVID is deeply alarming authorities…

Religious leaders gathering from world religions to recreate 10 Commandments on Mt. Sanai:
In Sinai, a Prophetic Call for Climate Justice and Ceremony of Repentance
Between November 6th and 18th, 2022, the UN climate conference COP 27 will take place on the Sinai Peninsula, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Religious communities and religious leaders have a key role to play in addressing climate change and climate justice, which requires deep transformation within society.
The knowledge of what changes are critically needed to diminish long-term harm to the planet is readily available. However, bringing about change in action demands deeper changes in attitude, a change of heart. This has been the domain of religions for millennia. Religions are sources of inspiration for the transformation of heart and the ensuing changes of attitude.
Mount Sinai is a mountain whose memory and meaning loom large as a place of revelation in the collective consciousness of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and others. As an ancient sacred space, it was the site of prophetic experience, and receiving God’s message, for the prophets Moses and Elijah in all three Abrahamic traditions, and the prophet Muhammed in the Muslim tradition. COP 27 taking place in Sinai can remind humanity of our sacred responsibility to care for God’s creation.
We come to Sinai in a movement of repentance and quest. We seek a new vision for humanity and its endangered existence, and we seek to receive and amplify a message of life-sustaining living and habits that humanity needs to hear today. In this spirit, the project partners will bring together premier religious leaders from the world’s major religions to put forth a prophetic interreligious call to action: “Ten Universal Principles for Climate Justice.”

Wars and Rumors of Wars:
China Is “Preparing For War”
November 8, 2022
Chinese President Xi Jinping has just announced that China will be “preparing for war”, and that should deeply alarm all of us. Needless to say, nobody is going to be attacking China any time soon. So why would the Chinese need to prepare for war if there is zero chance that they will be attacked? Unfortunately, the answer is obvious. The only reason China would be engaged in a military conflict any time soon is if it chooses to invade Taiwan. The moment such an invasion is launched, the United States and China will be at war. The Chinese know this, but Chinese President Xi Jinping is going ahead with preparations for war anyway…
And it turns out that many officials in Japan also see the need to prepare for a coming conflict with China…
If China were to attack Taiwan, it wouldn’t just have to face a hostile superpower. It would also likely have to confront its longstanding regional rival, Japan. For centuries, Japan and China have vied for hegemony in East Asia; at times, they have threatened each other’s survival. Today, as I found from three days of meetings with Japanese officials and analysts in Tokyo, the threat of Chinese aggression is producing a quiet revolution in Japanese statecraft — and pushing the nation to get ready for a fight.
Tensions just continue to intensify month after month.

The Dangerous Nexus: Russia and Iran's Mullahs
November 11, 2022
The Iranian regime, which has long argued that it is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons... has lately changed its tone and is boasting that it currently has the ability to build a nuclear bomb.
Biden's new nuclear deal, if reached, will also allow Russia to cash in on a $10 billion contract to further expand Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
Sadly, this still seems to be the legacy that the Biden administration wants to leave: Iran's predatory regime, the top state sponsor of terrorism, armed with nuclear bombs, and an empowered Russia that does not hesitate to use aggression and military force to invade other countries.
First of all, Iran's theocratic establishment is rushing to cross the nuclear threshold in order to become a nuclear-armed state. Iran wants Russia to help it bolster and speed up its nuclear program. On October 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accurately warned:
"In eight months of full-scale war, Russia has used almost 4,500 missiles against us. And their stock of missiles is dwindling. Therefore, Russia went looking for affordable weapons in other countries to continue its terror. It found them in Iran."

The River Euphrates is Drying Up
The Euphrates River - Drying Up
"The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East." Rev 16:12
Since Jesus Christ proclaimed that only God knows the hour or day of the Second Coming, preachers and self-appointed doomsayers have been predicting when it would occur – and seeing the sun rise on yet another generation. Even those who chastise date-setters often say, "God's final judgement is coming soon, probably in our lifetime, so get ready." In recent weeks, prophecy interpreters have cited a new reason for believing the apocalypse is approaching. Anxious debates have erupted on prophecy websites, in Bible study groups, and in churches. But why are they all so concerned right now? What exactly is the reason behind it? To know about this, we have to tell you about the terrifying story of the Euphrates River.

Wars and Rumors of them:
US Rushes Nuclear Warheads to Europe, Russia Warns of Response
October 29, 2022
Russia said Saturday the accelerated deployment of modernized U.S. B61 tactical nuclear weapons at NATO bases in Europe would lower the "nuclear threshold" and Russia would take the move into account in its military planning.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered the gravest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis when the two Cold War superpowers came closest to nuclear war.
Russia has around 2,000 working tactical nuclear weapons while the United States has around 200 such weapons, half of which are at bases in Italy, Germany, Turkey, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Politico reported Oct. 26 the United States told a closed NATO meeting this month it would accelerate the deployment of a modernized version of the B61, the B61-12, with the new weapons arriving at European bases in December, several months earlier than planned.
"We cannot ignore the plans to modernize nuclear weapons, those free-fall bombs that are in Europe," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told state RIA news agency.

WHO issues warning on tuberculosis
The UN health watchdog says the number of infections is rising globally
October 29th 2022
The number of people infected with tuberculosis (TB) has increased globally for the first time in nearly two decades, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
In its report published on Thursday, the WHO revealed that a total of 10.6 million people were diagnosed with tuberculosis last year, with 1.6 million more succumbing to the disease. The latter figure rose for the second consecutive year. The UN health agency clarified that the Covid-19 pandemic had contributed to the spike in TB-related deaths as lockdowns prevented many patients from getting a diagnosis or receiving treatment.
Tuberculosis is a viral and potentially deadly disease, which mostly affects the lungs. Malnourished individuals and those with a weakened immune system are particularly at risk of infection.

Iranians Will Become Masters of the World, After Annihilating Israel; They Will Pull
The Zionists One by One from Their Homes and Finish Them Off
October 14, 2022
Alireza Panahian, the Deputy Head of Iran's Ammar Strategic Advisory Base, said in a sermon that was aired on Khorasan Razavi TV (Iran) on July 17, 2020 that it isn't angels who are supposed to descend from the sky and slap the "arrogant" people, but that the Iranian people themselves are supposed to do this. He elaborated that people used to believe that the Hidden Imam and his army will emerge by a miracle and take over the region, but that people now know that it will not be a miracle.
Rather, he said that Iran already has soldiers throughout the region who are willing to sacrifice their lives, as well as missiles that are ready to be launched as soon as an opportunity presents itself. The sermon had originally been delivered before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Alireza Panahian: "There isn't some miracle that is supposed to happen. The angel Gabriel is not supposed to descend from the skies with other angels and say: 'Oh people, remain in your homes. God is fed up with the way things are, so I brought some angels and demons to solve the problems and slap those who are arrogant.' No! No! We are the ones who are supposed to slap them, and we are capable of doing this.
"Up until 20 years ago – even after the victory of the Revolution – people used to say that the Hidden Imam would arrive and take over the region. We thought that it would happen through a miracle, but now we know that it won't be a miracle. It requires a military, and [the Hidden Imam] has a military – but its soldiers are unorganized... Right now, we have a strong multinational military. Our bases are known, and throughout the region we have underground missiles that are ready to be launched. We are just looking for the opportunity.
"If you hear news that the Hidden Imam has appeared and that his soldiers have come forth from Iran and Yemen... You even know these soldiers.
"You have family members who serve in the IRGC, in the military forces, and in the army. They are all ready to give their lives. They are all familiar with the region. We are familiar with the Yemenis, and we know who our soldiers in Syria and Iraq are."

AMERICA PREPARES TO CONFRONT IRANIAN THREAT
August 3, 2022
The free world is at risk from the unsanctioned development of nuclear weapons by a rogue state. Nuclear missiles in the hands of an unstable regime with deep ties to terrorist groups present a supreme danger to the civilian public back home, so there is no choice but to respond. One of the world’s most legendary air forces must turn to its experienced flyers to train its rising generation of top pilots and personnel for a high-risk mission, requiring all of their skill and from which they might not return: a bombing run on the rogue nation’s development of enriched uranium as fuel for nuclear weapons.
Iran has left no doubts about its willingness to use WMD against Israel if given the opportunity. In 2001, former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani shrieked that “the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything,” while the response would only damage the aggressor. In 2005, then-incumbent Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.” In 2007, at the U.N. General Assembly, Ahmadinejad demanded a world without Israel and urged the “big powers” of America and Europe to eschew their “obedience to Satan” and “submit to the will of G-d,” lest “calamities will befall them.” “This is the promise of G-d,” he said. “Therefore, it will be fulfilled.”
Iran has doubled down on a nuclear strategy they hope will render them immune from American or Israeli defensive action, as well as allows them to do the unthinkable—use WMD against a civilian target and potentially kill millions in a second Holocaust.

Another Rumor of War:
'War over food and energy, not nuclear proliferation, is the greatest possibility'
An interview with decorated business consultant
August 1, 2022
The Islamic Republic of Iran continues to formulate threats and dire predictions for the destruction of the State of Israel. The Jewish state, meanwhile, deflects the threats and invokes increasingly aggressive strategies, to do what? Is the ideal regime change, or is all-out war in the offing?
I think we have a couple of different issues here. The first is that I believe the entire international community, with very few exceptions, would agree that we wish Iran’s regime would change for a more moderate and reasonable form of government. That’s unlikely, and there doesn’t appear to be much appetite for regime change operations along the size of Afghanistan or Iraq, etc., etc.
But what I think you are seeing is a series of actions that are meant to message to Iran’s senior leadership several things. First, that – if the reports are true, I want to caveat that – that Israel is able to reach out at its time of its own choosing with extraordinary surgical precision and neutralize threatening actors and operational activity by Iran. This sends a message to Iran’s senior-most leadership that if they just stop this activity, Israel stops its operational work.
Likewise, by setting back programs, it actually buys time for diplomacy, which admittedly there’s little reason to be hopeful about diplomacy at present. Nonetheless, anything that slows Iran’s nuclear program, its terrorist operations, in essence prevents things from happening that might tilt us toward a conventional conflict. READ MORE:

FORGET ABOUT ISRAEL – IRAN THREATENS TO NUKE THE USA
August 1, 2022
While Israel worries about a potential war with Iran, the regime in Tehran appears to be confidant enough to now threaten America.
In a video shared on the IRCG’s Telegram account, Iran threatens to build nuclear weapons and nuke NY.
Iran often makes outlandish threats, but this time with nuclear breakout actually happening, nuking NY is no longer a melodramatic response to being cornered.
Caroline Glick tweeted the following out Monday: “Iran is threatening to nuke New York. We warned this would be the consequence of America’s refusal to confront Iran with any seriousness. We warned this would be the end state of Obama-Biden’s nuclear appeasement. The progressives attacked us as warmongers. They did this.”
So while Biden continues to negotiate with Iran, the regime increases its threats. Perhaps its time that Biden and his government realize that negotiating with the enemy will only bring destruction and ruin.

THE EMERGING UNHOLY ALLIANCE BETWEEN RUSSIA, TURKEY AND IRAN
July 25, 2022
Less than a week after U.S. President Joe Biden left the Middle East following a visit that focused on the informal Israeli-Sunni Arab alliance in the region, Russian President Vladimir Putin boarded a plane to Iran, the leader of the opposing Shi’ite axis. Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan of Turkey joined the summit in Tehran.
The three regimes represented in Tehran are not friends of the West. Russia is engaged in a brutal war against Ukraine and dishes out threats to European countries on a weekly basis. Iran funds terrorist proxies across the Middle East, has a robust nuclear weapons project, and has stated many times that it seeks the complete annihilation of the United States and Israel.
This is not enough. When Iran is emboldened enough to transfer sophisticated UAVs to Russia and attempt to bring Turkey into its orbit, the West must see Iran for what it is and what it is attempting to do: conquer the region in the name of the Islamic revolution. Iranian leaders say this on a daily basis. We need only listen. READ MORE:

Israel may strike Iran over atomic program
26 July 2022
Defense Minister Benny Gantz has pushed back against possibility of restoring the nuclear deal
Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz suggested his country could launch a strike against Iran’s nuclear program, calling it “a global problem” at a conference on Tuesday. He also criticized the 2015 nuclear deal – abandoned by the US in 2018 – and the possibility of its revival, though the negotiations to that effect don’t seem to be going anywhere.
“Iran is a global problem. It is not just Israel’s private problem,” Gantz said in Jerusalem, during a conference hosted by Israel’s Channel 13. “We are able to seriously harm and delay the nuclear [program],” he added, when asked if Israel was capable of delaying Iran’s progress towards creating an atomic weapon or stopping it outright.

ISRAELI AIRSTRIKES BOMBARD IRANIAN BASES NEAR DAMASCUS
July 23, 2022
Israel struck Syria late Thursday night, blowing up a large Iranian arms depot just outside of Damascus.
Despite Russian warnings to Israel to stop attacking Iranian targets in Syria, the IDF appears be fully committed to bombing strategic sites in Syria.
This attack hit a wide swath of sites in southwest Syria that had been used by the Iranians to store advanced weapons before shipping them to Hezbollah. Israel attacks these sites on a regular basis in order to keep these sorts of weapons out of the hands of Hezbollah.
The attack on Syria Thursday night has big significance in that it is the first attack after Iran announced it can already build a nuclear weapon.

AFTER BIDEN’S MIDDLE EAST TRIP, ISRAEL ANNOUNCES THAT IT WILL ATTACK IRAN
July 18, 2022
Soon after President Biden’s Middle East trip, where Israel and its Sunni’s allies pushed the Americans to halt negotiations with Iran, IDF Chief Gen. Kochavi announced that Israel is in active preparations to attack Iran.
While Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran have been going on for some time, the public revelation of such an attack is the first such statement any active general in the IDF has made. Why now?
Two reasons are very clear. The first is that the Gulf States and Israel want to send a message to the American administration that the USA is not needed for the strike. Furthermore, the weakness of America is what is leading the region to war, not the other way around.
Iran has finally admitted they can already make a nuclear weapon. This revelation reveals what most have known all along that the Iranian nuclear program was designed to reach a nuclear weapon. This revelation is serious and pushes the region even closer to war. WATCH VIDEO:

Oxfam condemns G7 for ‘leaving millions to starve’
June 29.2022
Global aid group Oxfam has eviscerated the G7 countries for pledging a pittance to fight the global food crisis
The G7 countries are “leaving millions to starve and cooking the planet,” global aid group Oxfam’s head of inequality policy, Max Lawson, declared in a statement issued on Tuesday, condemning the mere $4.5 billion the industrialized nations have pledged to fight the worst hunger crisis in decades.
Lawson argued that “at least $28.5 billion more” was needed to “finance food and agriculture investments to end hunger and fill the huge gap in UN humanitarian appeals.
The UN World Food Program begged the G7 nations to “act now or record hunger will continue to rise and millions more will face starvation” last week, declaring that it had a plan – “the most ambitious in WFP’s history” – requiring $22.2 billion to “both save lives and build resilience for 152 million people in 2022.”
It’s not clear where they obtained that figure, as the G7 countries themselves have said that 323 million people are on the brink of starvation because of this year’s dire food crisis, with 950 million expected to go hungry in total in 2022.

Iran said building vast new underground tunnels to hold nuclear enrichment facility
June 17, 2022
New York Times says US and Israeli officials have been monitoring new construction at Natanz for a year; Defense Minister Gantz first alluded to site in speech last month
Iran is constructing a vast new network of tunnels at its Natanz nuclear site that could house a massive enrichment facility that would be impervious to bunker-busting bombs and cyberattacks, the New York Times reported Thursday.
The report said that the US and Israel had been monitoring construction at the site for several months, but had refrained from commenting on it publicly, with the exception of a brief remark made last month by Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
“At this very time, Iran is making an effort to complete the production and installation of 1,000 advanced IR6 centrifuges at its nuclear facilities, including a new facility being built at an underground site near Natanz,” he said,
“Iran continues to accumulate irreversible knowledge and experience in the development, research, production, and operation of advanced centrifuges,” Gantz said.
“It stands just a few weeks away from accumulating fissile material that will be sufficient for a first bomb, holds 60 kg of enriched material at 60%, produces metallic uranium at the enrichment level of 20%, and prevents the IAEA from accessing its facilities,” he added, before revealing the construction at Natanz.

Israel and Iran: Five minutes to Armageddon
June 16,2022
Israel and Iran are rapidly approaching an inflection point over Tehran’s nuclear program, and what was the atomic equivalent of a controlled clash between the two countries is now devolving into an unconstrained chain reaction. In late May, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations agency tasked with globally overseeing nuclear technology and use, reported that Iran possesses enough fissile material to construct a nuclear bomb. Jerusalem’s long-feared specter of Tehran becoming an existential threat to Israel is now very real and imminent.
The Pentagon fully realizes that time is not on Israel’s side, nor that of the U.S. and its allies. In March, now-retired Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, then commander of U.S. Central Command, testified in a Senate hearing that Iran has “3,000 ballistic missiles,” including variants capable of reaching Tel Aviv, while assessing Tehran’s nuclear “breakout” is now measured in “weeks,” not “months.”
Jerusalem’s planning must anticipate Hezbollah, Hamas and other Tehran-backed militias aggressively responding in kind if Israel launches a raid into Iran. In all likelihood, before Israel’s air forces could return to Israeli airspace, massive volleys of rocket fire would be hitting the country from Lebanon, Gaza and Syria — and possibly even from Iran itself. Striking Iran’s nuclear facilities would be only the beginning, not the end, of a hot war between Israel and Iran.
Prepared or not, Israel and Washington both appear to be out of time — Iran’s threat is substantial, and it is only intensifying. Until now, Jerusalem’s “war between wars” covert approach against Iran was sufficient to tactically frustrate Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, largely via sabotage and assassinations of key Iranian nuclear physicists. It no longer is — not when HEU is 60 percent enriched. Measured in Doomsday Clock terms, it is five minutes to midnight in Jerusalem and Tehran — and in Megiddo, the historical biblical site of Armageddon in Israel.

Iran = Israel at war::
ISRAEL ATTACKS SYRIA – IRAN THREATENS TO WIPE OUT TEL AVIV AND HAIFA
June 8, 2022
In reaction to the attack and the assassination of a chief scientist, Iran threatened to level both Tel Aviv and Haifa.
While no confirmation was made by Israel that they assassinated the Iranian scientist, Prime Minister Bennett appeared to hint at it on Twitter. The hint has since drawn the ire of Israel’s security establishment as it endangers agents in the field.
The attack in Syria comes at a dangerous time for Israel. The Bennett-Abbas government is on the brink of collapse giving Israel a serious leadership vacuum. According to intelligent reports, Iran is said to be closing in on enough nuclear material for three bombs. If this is the case then Israel must act and act now. WATCH VIDEO:

Daniel Chapter 8: 17 - This is an end time vision
Iran Not Waiting for Nuclear Weapons to Destabilize the Middle East
June 1, 2022
The goal of Iran's mullahs is to spread their control to as many countries as possible by using their terrorist proxies, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthi militia in Yemen.
Iran's rulers are also seeking to increase their political influence in these countries. They aim to turn Iran into a superpower and major player in the Middle East at a time when US influence in the region appears to be dwindling.
Needless to say, Iran's mullahs are not only opposed to peace with Israel. They and their proxies have repeatedly stated that their real goal is to eliminate Israel.
Some even warned that Iran's real intention is to destroy and isolate Iraq....

Iran seizes two Greek tankers in Persian Gulf
MAY 31, 2022
The grave threat of Iran is compounded by its Doomsday theology, which asserts that at the end of days, the Hidden Imam will appear in the midst of a violent apocalyptic scenario — likely provoked by Iran itself — and played out on a battleground stained with the blood of infidels.
Iran is becoming increasingly emboldened, thanks to the Biden administration’s obvious weakness. Iran’s paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps seized two Greek oil tankers in the Persian Gulf “in helicopter-launched raids in the Persian Gulf….The action appeared to be retaliation for Athens’ assistance in the U.S. seizure of crude oil from an Iranian-flagged tanker this week in the Mediterranean Sea over violating Washington’s crushing sanctions on the Islamic Republic.”
Iran will continue to escalate as a global menace, while America under Biden will increasingly become a global laughing stock.

The Persecution of Christians
Family members murdered Eman Sami Maghdid, 20, known as "Maria." Her "crime" was having embraced Christianity and abandoning the marriage she had been forced into at the age of 12. Her 18-year-old brother and perhaps uncle responded by slaughtering her on Sunday, March 6. Her body "tied with a tape, thrown at the side of the road, with many stab wounds
"John Michael Okero was quoting verses from the Koran about Christ [during an open-air evangelistic meeting] ... when a Muslim identified only as Shakuuru grabbed the microphone from him. He and other Muslims started beating Okero as they accused him of blaspheming Allah by saying that he has a Son
They beat him to death with iron bars, stones and sticks and later burned his body to a chant in the Ateso language referring to a thief who steals people from one religion to join a bad religion, the source said. Okero was 43."
Six Muslim men killed and mutilated three Christian men (two brothers and one of their sons). The Christians were working on their field when the Muslims unexpectedly attacked and killed them, before proceeding to carve their bodies with knives while reportedly singing and dancing. READ MORE:

The Bear and Israel over JERUSALEM Issue:
Putin demands Russia gain control of Jerusalem church as promised
Transferring the ownership of the land could cause diplomatic trouble for Israel at a time when its Western allies have been sanctioning Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
APRIL 18, 2022
Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that Israel grant his country control of the Alexander Courtyard in Jerusalem as the previous Israeli government had promised, in a letter delivered to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday.
Putin’s letter came barely a day after the Foreign Ministry in Moscow slammed Foreign Minister Yair Lapid for accusing Russia of war crimes in Ukraine, saying that Israel is using Ukraine to cover up for its own conflict with the Palestinians. The Russian Foreign Ministry also summoned Israeli Ambassador Alexander Ben Zvi for a reprimand on Sunday.
Transferring the ownership of the church land could cause diplomatic trouble for Israel at a time when its Western allies have been sanctioning Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised Putin that Russia could take over the landmark in 2020, as one of a series of gestures meant to help free Naama Issachar, an Israeli woman held in a Russian jail on drug charges. Soon after, Israel’s Land Registry commissioner listed the Russian government as the owner of the church.

Persia and the West - Daniel 8:
Biden Administration, EU and Iran's Mullahs: Historical Mistake Repeating Itself
April 9, 2022
The Biden administration and the EU do not need to go too far back to see the outcome of those appeasement policies and the nuclear deal with Iran. Its theocratic regime became more determined than ever, as an oblation, an offering to God, to annihilate Israel.
Right after the nuclear deal, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who enjoys the final say in Iran's domestic and foreign policy, published a 416-page book, titled "Palestine," with a cover featuring a map of the Middle East with no Israel in it.
In the book, Khamenei details his plan of destroying Israel and characterized himself as "the flag bearer of Jihad to liberate Jerusalem."
The more the Islamic Republic became empowered due to the appeasement it received, the more it boasted that it could destroy Israel "in less than eight minutes."

Chapter two of the 'new world order' is about to open
MAR 28, 2022
If ordinary denizens on social media can see that the Ukraine campaign is only chapter one of "the new world order" that U.S. President Joe Biden has proudly declared and claimed leadership of, why can't Putin recognize the move and understand that he is a pawn?
Last week, at the Business Roundtable’s quarterly meeting, Biden said: “And now is a time when things are shifting. We’re going to – there’s going to be a new world order out there, and we’ve got to lead it. And we’ve got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it.”
Biden caused an uproar by using the phrase because it clearly reveals what is in the offing. Biden has not gathered all old and new neocons from the left and right at the White House insensibly; these figures make up the coherent action group needed to get rid of two rival superpower candidates, the Russian Federation and China.

New World Order? Pandemic and war rattle globalization
Mar. 27, 2022
Globalization, which has both fans and detractors alike, is being tested like never before after the one-two punch of COVID and war.
The pandemic had already raised questions about the world's reliance on an economic model that has broken trade barriers but made countries heavily reliant on each other as production was delocalized over the decades.
Companies have been struggling to cope with major bottlenecks in the global supply chain.
Russia's war in Ukraine has raised fears about further disruptions, with everything from energy supplies to auto parts to exports of wheat and raw materials under threat.
Larry Fink, the head of financial giant BlackRock, put it bluntly: "The Russian invasion of Ukraine has put an end to the globalization we have experienced over the last three decades."
"We had already seen connectivity between nations, companies and even people strained by two years of the pandemic," Fink wrote in a letter to shareholders.
But U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, disagrees.
"I really have to push back on that," she told CNBC in an interview. "We're deeply involved in the global economy. I expect that to remain, it is something that has brought benefits to the United States, and many countries around the world."

4 dead after 7.4-magnitude earthquake hits coast off Japan's Fukushima prefecture
A 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit eastern Japan late Wednesday night, killing at least four people and injuring over 100 others, and cutting power to millions of homes.
One of the people who died was a man in his 60s who lived in the city of Soma, the local disaster prevention office said on Thursday.
The quake hit off the coast of Japan's eastern Fukushima prefecture, a region devastated by a powerful quake and tsunami 11 years ago that resulted in a nuclear power plant meltdown.
The quake was originally designated 7.3-magnitude, but was upgraded to 7.4 on Thursday.
A tsunami advisory was issued after Wednesday's quake for the coastal prefectures of Fukushima and Miyagi, but was lifted on Thursday morning.

Days of Sodom:
Apple’s ‘pregnant man’ emoji shows just how much trans activists are reconstructing our culture
FEBRUARY 1, 2022
Sometimes small things are big indicators. Take, for example, one of the latest additions to the Apple emoji factory: In addition to a “gender-neutral pregnant person” (enjoy figuring out that phrase), the new choices include a graphic of a “pregnant man”. At least, that’s what we’re informed it is. It could also just be a dude wearing a blue shirt stretched over his beer belly, which would a) make way more sense and b) would have been people’s first guess like five years ago.
We now have children’s shows from Blue’s Clues to Spongebob Squarepants featuring trans characters (including, I kid you not, a post-op beaver cartoon character that had a double-mastectomy); cereal boxes for kids teaching them about preferred pronouns; public school lessons on choosing your gender; drag queens reading stories to toddlers; adults insisting that children are entitled to block puberty.
And on the whole “pregnant man” front, we’ve seen an entire media cottage industry dedicated to human interest stories plugging the nonsensical idea that males can get pregnant in order to get us used to the idea. You see, those of us who grew up in a society slightly less insane than this one won’t be persuaded by much of this (unless we’re as detached from reality as, say, Joe Biden) — but the next generation is growing up increasingly seeing this as actual reality.

"Gay Catholics come out, demand the church accept them
A group of LGBTQ Catholics demand the Vatican revise its strict church doctrine to accommodate them
25 Jan, 2022
More than 120 LGBT priests, teachers and Church volunteers in Germany have launched an initiative – OutInChurch – and demanded that Catholic higher-ups toss away their long-standing disdain for homosexual relationships and grant them greater freedoms within the Church.
The group said they want “to be able to live and work openly as LGBTIQ+ persons in the church without fear,” including to serve in all Church occupations, even while in same-sex marriages or partnerships. They also urged the Church to revise “outdated statements” on gender and sexuality, oppose “all forms of discrimination,” and allow LGBTQ persons to receive holy sacraments.
The Church should rectify a wrong by admitting its “institutional history of guilt” toward gay people, the group said in its list of demands published online. READ MORE:

'Horrifying Growth of Persecution': Christians Are Under Attack Across the Globe, 'No End in Sight' January 21, 2023 No Rapture here friends - get ready for it to come to your door Christian persecution continues to rage across the globe, with believers facing killings, kidnappings, chaos, and crises at the hands of governments, extremists, and even family members. Among the persecution trends unfolding today, Open Doors, an organization monitoring Christian persecution worldwide, warns that "Sub-Saharan Africa faces catastrophic collapse" as Islamist violence breaks out in the region.The organization's 2023 World Watch List, which ranks the 50 nations where persecution is the worst, warns of the "horrifying growth" of these terrors. As it has for many years in the past, the report ranked North Korea as the most sinister place for Christians. The nation's newfound "anti-reactionary thought law" reportedly cracks down on any foreign materials, putting residents in danger for simply possessing or sharing outside content. One report indicates three minors were reportedly executed for sharing South Korean TV shows, offering a lens into the diabolical nature of these regulations."North Korea returns to No. 1, with its highest levels of persecution ever," Open Doors said in a press release. "Over the 30 years of the Open Doors World Watch List reporting, the global phenomenon of Christian persecution has grown alarmingly." Lisa Pearce, the interim CEO of Open Doors' U.S. office, reflected on the dire nature of these findings. In an interview with CBN's Faithwire, she stressed the importance of Christians knowing and understanding the full scope of global persecution, citing biblical commands for believers to offer love, support, and prayer for one another.
