 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.

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.

More than 3,500 people are dead after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked southeastern Turkey and northwestern Syria early Monday, according to officials.

The pre-dawn quake was centered in the town of Pazarcik in Turkey's southeastern Kahramanmaras province and was followed by several powerful aftershocks. Thousands of buildings were toppled on both sides of the border, and the death toll was expected to rise as rescue workers searched for survivors in the massive piles of rubble.

Both Turkey and Syria have declared a state of emergency.

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:

Apocalyptic Scenarios Are Unfolding All Around Us

January 24, 2023

“How can you get people to wake up if they are determined to keep sleeping? For decades, global events have been moving us in a very ominous direction, and ever since this decade began the pace of change has accelerated dramatically.

“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.

“Earlier today, I pulled up a USA Today article about the Doomsday Clock that boldly declared that ‘the world is closer to annihilation than it has ever been’…the time on the Doomsday Clock moved forward from 100 seconds to midnight to 90 seconds to midnight.

“It’s a reset of what has come to be known as the Doomsday Clock, a decades long project of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists featuring a clock face where midnight represents Armageddon.

Yes, we really are on the brink of nuclear war, but the vast majority of the general population hasn’t gotten the memo. Instead, most of them are having a great time partying, spending money like there is no tomorrow, and getting into other sorts of trouble.

 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.”

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 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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
 
 
 
"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

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.

 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."
 
 

 
 
 
 
BIDEN FATIGUE: IRAN ATTACKS US FORCES IN IRAQ
 
January 5, 2022
 
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.

 

CHINA AND IRAN ON THE MOVE

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:
 
 
 
 
Persia and the Goat from the West: Daniel 8

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.

After a deadly Iranian drone attack on an American base left a U.S. citizen dead and five U.S. soldiers wounded, the U.S. responded with airstrikes along the Syria/Iraq border that reportedly killed at least eight Iranians. Iran’s response? Activate its militias to bombard another U.S. base in northeastern Syria with missiles. Is the Middle East set to explode as Iran becomes more bold? Watch now!

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.

Daniel 8 - getting clearer and closer:

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.

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:

Making a deal with the devil:

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:

"Famine":

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.

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.

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.
