          Call it the ‘End Times Truth’: God doesn’t play favorites:

          Has there ever been a more lawless time than this? Well, when the Flood came it was probably worse. But these times were compared to the days of Noah, when only one righteous family survived the deluge.

          The world is raging today. People are choosing darkness over light. The adversary and his “children” are about to experience hell on earth.

          Can I speak frankly to you? I’ve made an avocation of talking about this subject, writing about it and musing about it for more than 45 years. I’ve written books, made movies, penned newsletters and lectured frequently on it. But it has never been more real to me than now.

          Think of how much lawlessness reigns supreme in every corner of the world. From Baltimore to Chicago to L.A. to Portland and Seattle, violence rules our cities. It’s the same thing throughout Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and there’s a new war taking place in Ukraine with Russia acting bellicose – possibly causing World War III.

          How would you characterize the planet? One word describes it best – LAWLESSNESS!

          Paul prophesied about this in the first century, about 2,000 years ago, in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12:
          . . . “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

          It’s finally coming. The dam is about to break. God has seen enough.  Turn to the light, away from the darkness.  Be in prayer. Be aware. Follow all God’s Commandments – all of them.

            From Perry Stone Ministries on Facebook:

            THE VISION PAPERS – We receive many letters and packets of information at V.O.E. each week, from men and women who have had experiences of spiritual dreams and visions. Recently, an older minister, who knew my dad and many of his family members are connected with dad’s family, sent me several pages of visions the Lord gave him, beginning in 1989. They were very detailed and three of them were inline with the visions reported in my book called, The Visions.

            First was a detailed attack in which Russia released nuclear missiles from submarines, using a weapon which was not invented in 1989, but according to a military insider does exist today. The nuclear fallout impacted many areas. The second was a central U.S. earthquake, that was felt all the way to Cleveland, Tennessee, opening gaps so wide in the Midwest, that some areas could not build bridges to connect areas. The U.S. was literally divided. This was because the hedge was lifted over the nation as our national leader’s actions were mocking God, passing laws legalizing abominations and destroying His covenants.

            I believe the culture war in America is more of a war against God and the Bible, than anything else. The decisions made and laws passed in the days and months ahead, will either restrain or delay what is coming, or speed up the possibilities.

              Amir Tsarfati:

              Soon, in a moment and twinkling of an eye, we will “put on immortal incorruptibility” and forever be with the Lord. While we do not know exactly “how soon”, and we should not be dogmatic about the length of a generation, what we do know for sure is that the Jews are back in the land, the times are perilous, sound doctrine is not endured, Jerusalem is a burdensome stone to all nations, and the moral climate of the world is as it was in the days of Noah.

              That means the tribulation is not far off, the salvation of Israel is at hand, and the rapture of the church could happen at any moment!

                WHAT CLIMATE CHANGE? Coal Plants In France Are Coming Back Online As A European Energy Shortage From Russian War In Ukraine Looms Large:

                Well, well, what an interesting turn of events that we have developing right now in Climate Change obsessed France, coals plants coming back online. Will wonders never cease? Nope. As the war in Ukraine continues to grind on, and the possibility of not having enough power to make it through this upcoming winter season, France is turning back to coal as a backup power source.

                Environmentally obsessed Germany has also announced that it will be revving up its own coal-burning capabilities in order to better deal with the ongoing energy crisis, with the country’s economic and climate Tsar, Robert Habeck, saying that the measures are necessary to conserve much-needed gas.

                “To reduce gas consumption, less gas must be used to generate electricity. Coal-fired power plants will have to be used more instead,” he previously said, though admitted that he found it “bitter” that his green agenda-driven government had to rely on such a high emission fuel.

                Austria is set to reopen its Mellach coal power plant two years after it was shut down to ensure the country can meet its energy demands amid fears of a shortage of gas from Russia. A host of other European countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, are also considering using coal to make up for shortfalls in Russian gas, moving back to an energy source much of the continent has sought to phase out in recent years in order to meet carbon reduction targets.

                  President Joe Biden supports a deal that will allow Finland and Sweden to join NATO and played a behind-the-scenes role in the Nordic countries’ negotiations with Turkey, a senior US official said on Tuesday.

                  Turkey dropped its opposition to Finland and Sweden joining NATO in time for the alliance’s annual summit in Madrid. The official, speaking to reporters on condition of anonymity, said Biden spoke to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about NATO earlier on Tuesday at the request of the two nations.

                  The official said the agreement will allow for an expansion of the 30-member alliance and mark “a significant sea change in the security posture.”

                  Turkey did not insist that its demands for advanced American warplanes be included in the negotiations, the official said.

                              US Army Drops High School Diploma Requirement as Military Faces Unprecedented Challenges Under Joe Biden:

                              After completely bending the knee to woke ideology and gutting itself with unconstitutional mandates that forced an experimental and dangerous vaccine, the US Military is taking the hacksaw to the standards that are used to find and train new recruits as the Armed Forces struggle through what some officials are calling the “most challenging recruiting year ever.”

                              In addition to lowering almost every single physical qualification for new recruits to pass their initial training, the US Army has now dropped its requirement that recruits must have a high school diploma or a G.E.D. degree in a desperate effort to attract new blood into the ranks.

                              In order to be eligible for service, new recruits will simply have to score a 50 on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test and be of eligible age (18 or older), the US Army explained in an announcement on Thursday. Officials for the service blamed a ‘lack of ability and desire’ among young Americans for the recruiting struggles throughout every branch of the military.

                              As of now, the Army has reached just 40% of its recruitment goal for the fiscal year ending in October. This is on par with the rest of the six branches, which are all projected to fall short of their recruiting goals in 2022.
                              According to one Military official who spoke with NBC, the situation has reached “crisis” levels, especially in the wake of Covid-19.

                              In addition to the relaxed educational requirements, the Army has also removed restrictions on the placement, size, and number of tattoos that are allowed, as well as offered enhanced benefits and perks for new recruits in an effort to drum up interest.  But, little has worked so far.

                              Military preparedness now means having proper training on building a safe space for gender-sensitive ideologues, and, of course, always using the proper pronouns.

                                Heidi, I could not agree with your comment more, you are absolutely right – so many wicked men in the world actively trying to kill or enslave the masses of humanity, and Dr. Zelenko was trying to help and now with his passing the world has one less “good guy” and is a little bit darker.  May he Rest In Peace hopefully having known the Messiah and if so perhaps receiving his reward for all the good he tried to do helping his fellow man.

                                    From Amir’s e-mail newsletter:

                                    Russia has defaulted on its external debt for the first time since the Bolshevik revolution in 1918. The Kremlin, however, denies the default, saying that they have the money from their gas and oil revenues. They complain that they are being kept out of the world financial system as part of the sanctions for their actions in Ukraine. Alexei Moiseev, Russian deputy finance minister, complained last week, “I believe that a financial nuclear bomb was used against us, no country in the history of mankind has experienced such sanctions pressure as Russia is now.” An official reply from the rest of the world read, “Cry us a river.”

                                    In NATO news, Turkey has lifted its objections to Finland and Sweden joining the alliance. This opened the door for an official invitation to be issued to the two Scandinavian countries yesterday from NATO’s summit in Madrid. Vladimir Putin warned the two countries to not avail themselves of the invitation, saying there will be a response if they do. Meanwhile, NATO has decided to increase their “high alert” troops sevenfold from 40,000 to 300,000.

                                    In other NATO news, the alliance issued an official document on June 14 in which it presented China as a threat, writing, “China’s stated ambitions and assertive behavior present systemic challenges to the rules-based international order and to areas relevant to Alliance security.” Meanwhile, the G7 countries have implemented a rigid line against China manipulating global markets.

                                    Spanish and Moroccan border police opened fire on African immigrants killing 37 and wounding hundreds more. The immigrants were trying to get into the Spanish enclave of Melilla, located on the Moroccan border. The videos are horrific and clearly depict the tragic overreaction by authorities. The irony is that, as I mentioned earlier, Madrid is currently hosting a NATO summit. The purpose of NATO is to defend those countries that are too weak to defend themselves. Yet, here is the host country opening fire on defenseless immigrants. Imagine the reaction if those slaughtered had been Palestinians storming an IDF position. The hypocrisy is overwhelming.

                                      The Presbyterian Church of the United States of America, an umbrella group representing churches across the country claiming over 1.7 million members, passed several anti-Israel resolutions including one that labeled Israel an apartheid state and compared Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to the Nazi’s genocidal treatment of the Jews.

                                        Earthquakes in Kershaw County believed to be the longest period in SC history, SCEMD says:

                                        Geology officials say the continued swarm of earthquakes in Kershaw County may be the longest period of successive earthquake activity in South Carolina’s recorded history.  An earthquake swarm is a sequence of seismic events occurring in a local area within a relatively short period of time.

                                        According to the division, the swarm began on December 27, 2021, with a magnitude 3.3 earthquake centered near Elgin.  Since then, 44 low-magnitude earthquakes have occurred in the Elgin-Lugoff area, with the strongest being a magnitude of 3.6 on Wednesday.

                                        Seismologists believe these low-magnitude quakes are not indicators of larger earthquakes to come.  The length of time over which they are occurring is what makes these distinctive.

                                        The epicenter of the largest earthquake ever recorded along the eastern United States seaboard was just outside of Charleston on August 31, 1886.

                                        The 7.3 magnitude quake devastated the region and was felt from Chicago to Cuba.

                                          Democrat thought leader AOC and “Pocahontas” Warren are calling for the federal government to set up abortion mills on federal lands including Indian tribal lands.  The idea is spreading around Democrat circles.

                                          Sen. Elizabeth Warren is now suggesting that the Biden Admin put abortion tents on Federal land in banned states. They should put outposts on the edges of National parks!

                                          Representatives for some Indigenous tribes tell Axios they have no plans to set up abortion clinics on their lands and would take offense at any non-Native Americans, including progressives, telling them what to do.

                                            A recent study done at Brigham Young University shows that having a sister has positive and long-lasting impacts – particularly on social skills – that stretch far into adulthood. All those fights and frustrations will pay off one day, if they haven’t already.

                                            The study involved around 400 families with more than one child, at least one of them between the ages of 10 and 14 years old. The results were published in the Journal of Family Psychology in 2010. They showed that having a sister promoted positive mental health, including a greater capacity to empathize, communicate and – not surprisingly – resolve conflicts.

                                            “If siblings get in a fight, they have to regulate emotions. That’s an important skill to learn for later in life.”

                                            However much sisters might get under each other’s skin, no one can deny that life is not as lonely or boring with a sibling around. Previous research has shown that girls talk more than boys. This means having a sister is especially important when it comes to talking out life’s problems.

                                            The study at Brigham Young University showed that brothers who grew up with one or more sisters are better at communication with women in general.

                                            Also, later in life, after the parents have passed away, sisters “often do more to keep families in contact with one another,” said Alex Jensen, a BYU professor and the study’s co-author.

                                            The next time you find yourself fighting with your sister over one thing or another, remember it’s just a little bump in the road. And you’ll be on that journey together for the rest of your lives. You can take comfort in knowing that you’ll always have someone who loves you, who can laugh over childhood memories, and ultimately will make you a better person.

                                                  World’s Richest Man Elon Musk Posts Awkward, Weird Photo Of Himself With The World’s Other Richest Man Pope Francis At The Vatican:

                                                  Tesla CEO Elon Musk breaks his Twitter silence to share photos of himself and his kids with Pope Francis a week after his son Xavier legally changed gender from male to female.
                                                  The first thing that stands out in the photo posted by Elon Musk of his surprise visit with Pope Francis at the Vatican is how frail and withered the so-called Pontifex Maximus is looking these days as rumors of his soon retirement are swirling all over the internet. So what would a declared atheist like Elon Musk be doing at the Vatican? You might want to look into Revelation 18 for some further light on that.

                                                  Pope Francis has labored diligently since 2013, putting in place the framework for the One World Religion of Chrislam with his partner Mohamed bin Zayed. Should he retire before the Rapture takes place, I would expect that the man who will come after him will be a considerably younger man. Though I will say that Pope Francis fits the model of the False Prophet quite perfectly. Francis has made it clear that are welcome under his tent, Buddhist, atheist, transgender, Gaia, you name it and he welcomes it. There is just one group of people who are not welcome, and it’s those people who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith alone.

                                                  Musk has spoken of being an atheist, so it is unclear why he decided to meet the pope, and what the two men discussed.

                                                    A small short? The coming collapse of the air travel industry:

                                                    Last weekend I was invited to a zoom call with the German firebrand MEP Christine Anderson who gave us a brief report about the recent vote in the EU parliament to extend the Covid pass requirement for another year.

                                                    But perhaps the most interesting and unexpected part of the 3 hour long call was about the airline industry. Three of the participants on the call had deep inside knowledge of the airline industry (one of them a pilot) who said in no uncertain terms that the industry is now being systematically and deliberately demolished. Apparently, the ultimate purpose is to kill airline travel altogether. The three participants asked that their names not be used, but they seemed exceptionally well informed and entirely credible. At any rate, the news flow has pretty well corroborated their claims.

                                                    It is quite apparent that something IS going on with air travel – a sudden wave of dysfunction, like we are experiencing in energy industry, oil production, supply chains and health care. Perhaps I missed a few. And while the media has reported chaos at many airports around the world (pretty much everywhere, it seems), the explanations seem innocent enough: the airports are understaffed and can’t cope with the sudden surge of travellers.

                                                    All of a sudden, we have thousands of flights cancelled or delayed, luggage handling process stalling, hours’ wasted in check-in and security checks, and all this happening pretty much everywhere? Coincidence theorists will swallow the official explanations with a shrug of acceptance, but I do find all this extremely strange.

                                                    The traffic management systems that have evolved for nearly a century and that had functioned close to flawlessly for decades, now suddenly seem to be coming apart at the seams. If what the gentlemen on our zoom call were saying was true, airport chaos could become a chronic thing. Indeed, another person on the call, who said she’d read through many of the WEF documents and all of UN’s Agenda 2020/30/50/etc. said that this is all actually written down as an explicit objective. She said that the ultimate intent is to do away with travelling and to establish a feudal arrangement where people remain fixed in place and all travel is banned.

                                                      Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party, has always been controversial but he raised the volume last week when he suggested that the best way to unite Europe was by recreating the Roman Empire.

                                                      His vision of the Roman Empire in the 21st century is based on a partnership that included Turkey and the North African states. At the NATO summit in Madrid last month, he told reporters that this would be based on the Mare Nostrum, the Latin term for the Mediterranean Sea.

                                                      Johnson has compared his country to the Roman Empire on several occasions. Last year, he blamed the fall of the Roman Empire on uncontrolled immigration, adding that the same problem was to blame for the current global warming, a problem which threatened to return the world to the “dark ages.”

                                                                Joe Biden is making his treasonous actions more transparent as he now is seriously considering dropping President Trump’s tariffs with China.

                                                                President Trump responded to Biden’s actions as follows:

                                                                Believe it or not, it is looking more and more like the United States is getting ready to remove the Tariffs on China. This would be a terrible mistake. These Tariffs have brought many Billions of Dollars to our Country, and made affected businesses, such as steel, viable again in the United States. Doing this would be the greatest gift that China could ever receive. Our Farmers alone got $28 billion as a gift from me, that came directly out of the Tariffs because of the way they were abused by China. Taking these Tariffs off would be a clear signal that the United States is weak, ineffective, and doing BUSINESS AS USUAL. Certain Senators are fighting hard to get this done, even saying such ridiculous things as it “causes inflation.” Those Senators should be questioned as to their real motives.

                                                                  Nearly a quarter of the supply chain disruptions globally were attributed to manufacturing plants being set aflame, according to exclusive data compiled from Resilinc’s EventWatch monitoring database.  “Resilinc issued 1,946 Factory Fire alerts in 2021, an increase of 129 percent year-over-year.”

                                                                  The string of fires that continue to damage manufacturing plants across the United States appears to be a deliberate effort to sabotage food processing operations.

                                                                    “There is a new race to space – this time with China,” Nelson told Bild in an interview published Saturday. Bild also noted China plans to work alongside Russia to establish a base on the Moon and that the base could be finished by 2035 and able to carry out experiments by 2036.

                                                                    Bild noted the south pole of the Moon is expected to be highly contested as key water deposits are suspected in that region. Such deposits could be used to produce rocket fuel.

                                                                    “We must be very concerned that China is landing on the moon and saying: It’s ours now and you stay out,” Nelson said, adding that “China’s space program is a military space program.”

                                                                    “What do you think is happening on the Chinese space station?” Nelson said, referring to China’s Tiangong space station. “They learn there how to destroy other people’s satellites.”

                                                                      “Most small business owners attribute this worsening situation to record-breaking inflation, which includes escalating gas, labor, and supply costs,” Alignable said. “Simply put, there’s less money available to pay the rent.”

                                                                      According to the survey, rent increased for 48% of small businesses this month. Meanwhile, rent delinquencies have continued to increase all year.

                                                                      “This is the highest rate of U.S. rent delinquency among SMBs this year,” the group said.

                                                                        This country is not the same place that it was ten years ago.  In fact, it is not even close to the same place that it was five years ago. Violent crime is out of control in many of our major cities, and there aren’t enough police to handle it all.  So in many cases, a police officer literally never shows up when someone reports a serious crime.  Unfortunately, the number of serious crimes just keeps going up.

                                                                        In the Windy City, there are hundreds of thousands of “high-priority emergency service calls” each year, and last year there were no police available to respond to those calls 52 percent of the time…

                                                                        New data uncovered by Wirepoints through public records requests to the Chicago Police Department (CPD) reveal that in 2021 there were 406,829 incidents of high-priority emergency service calls for which there were no police available to respond.

                                                                        That was 52 percent of the 788,000 high-priority 911 service calls dispatched in 2021.
                                                                        So if you are the victim of a violent crime in Chicago, your odds of having a police officer available to help you are about the same as guessing a coin flip correctly.

                                                                        So far this year, the murder rate in New Orleans is up 44 percent.  But the corporate media is trying to convince us that all of this is perfectly “normal,” aren’t they?  Do you believe them?

                                                                          Phys.org reports that a new study has found that if you want to live in a safer neighborhood, choose the one with the most dogs. A study conducted in Columbus, Ohio, found that neighborhoods with more dogs had lower rates of homicide, robbery, and aggravated assaults compared to neighborhoods with fewer dogs. The study also found that neighborhoods with higher levels of trust between residents had lower crime.

                                                                          “People walking their dogs are essentially patrolling their neighborhoods,” Pinchak said. “They see when things are not right, and when there are suspect outsiders in the area. It can be a crime deterrent.”

                                                                          Study co-author Christopher Browning, a professor of sociology at Ohio State said that sociologists have previously theorized that a combination of mutual trust and local surveillance among residents can deter criminals.  “We thought that dog walking probably captures that pretty well, which is one reason why we decided to do this study,” Browning said.

                                                                          https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/07/06/good-boy-osu-researchers-show-more-dogs-in-neighborhood-results-in-less-crime/

The top Russian official reminded the U.S. that Alaska once belonged to Russia, and the Kremlin may want the land back.

                                                                              “Let America always remember; there is a part of Russian territory: Alaska,” Volodin said, according to a Ukrainian news outlet.

                                                                              “So when U.S. lawmakers attempt to appropriate our assets abroad, they should be aware that we also have something to claim back,” he said.

                                                                              According to historical records, Russia’s first settlement in Alaska was established in 1784. The U.S. purchased the large northern territory from Russia for $7.2 million in 1867.

[There is a 45-minute video, which I skimmed through. She talks about the vaccines, the de-platforming of opposing voices, the lock-downs, AI, investment in China and its influence in the U.S.]

                                                                                Naomi says, “These people are so evil and their attack on humanity and on the West is so comprehensive – well, I’ll just say what I believe, Sarah – I’m a very critical thinker. I’m not trying to blow my own horn, it’s just what I do. I’ve looked at this attack on us for the last two years from every level and it’s so global in scale, it’s so well-coordinated, it’s so kind of demonic in its imagination; so comprehensive – and I also have studied politics and history my whole life. In no other circumstance – not even in Nazi Germany’s ascent – have I seen such a supernatural amount of coordination…”

                                                                                “And I can’t understand this without reference to non-human, no-material reality. In other words, I actually think this is a Satanic attack on humanity. And I’m not a woo-woo person. I never talk about this stuff in public but I think we have to face it. These are meta-human powers, I think we’re up against. . .”

                                                                                “I cannot understand this global – the sophistication and skill and complexity of this as attributable to just human politics. Even bad politics – even bad people. It doesn’t make sense.  It only makes sense on a metaphysical level that we don’t understand yet.”

                                                                                “But it could be principalities and powers that we don’t understand. . . that’s all I’ve got, because this is really bad.”

                                                                                        Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, died on Friday in the city of Nara after a man now identified as 41-year-old Yamagami Tetsuya shot him with what Japanese media indicate at press time appeared to be a homemade firearm. Doctors reported that Abe suffered cardiac arrest as a result of wounds in his neck. He was 67 years old.

                                                                                        Abe, of the long-ruling conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), left a legacy of advocating for Japan to take on a larger international role, including expanding its minimal defense capabilities and investing in a closer relationship with America.

                                                                                        Shortly before his death, Abe spent much of his public time following his resignation [due to health reasons] in 2020 warning that the world must act to contain the threat of Chinese communism and urging America to expand its support for the nation of Taiwan, which China routinely threatens to invade. Chinese media outlets threatened “routine” military exercises around Japan as recently as Wednesday in response to the LDP’s concerns about Beijing’s belligerence.

                                                                                        Police have yet to reveal a motive for the shooting at press time, though Japanese newspapers report that Yamagami told police he intended to kill Abe because he was “dissatisfied” with his political performance.

The shooter didn’t even try to run away; he just waited to be arrested.  And apparently, Japan has a rather swift death penalty.]

                                                                                        It seems nothing escapes the prophetic minds of the self-proclaimed designers of the future. They accurately foresee “natural disasters” and foretell coincidental “acts of God.” They know everything before it happens. Perhaps they truly are prophets. Or, perhaps they’re simply describing the inevitable outcomes of their own actions.

                                                                                        “Reset the Table” basically describes how they intend to seize control of the food supply and the supply chain under the guise of “equity,” “fairness,” and “environmental protection.” One key to this enterprise is data collection. They want to collect data on everyone’s spending and eating habits.

                                                                                        It’s inevitable because it’s an intentional plan.  Time and again, the WEF and its global collaborators have “predicted” the future with stunning accuracy, sometimes years in advance, and then when the predictions come true they pretend as though they had nothing to do with it.

                                                                                        But let’s not forget that WEF founder Klaus Schwab, during the May 2022 meeting in Davos, clearly stated that the future doesn’t just happen, it is “built, by us. By a powerful community … in this room.” Make no mistake, they truly believe they have the right to decide the fate of the world, and that you and I have no say in the matter.

                                                                                        Remember, the “Great Reset” includes a reimagined food system that doesn’t rely on livestock or require a large land footprint. That’s why we can be so sure that none of the current problems will be effectively addressed or counteracted.

                                                                                        They intend for the current food system to fall apart, so they can then “solve” the problem by introducing a new system based on patented lab-grown synthetic and genetically engineered foods and massive insect farms.

                                                                                          So Ready – that’s quite an indictment of Shinzo Abe, still even if all those things are true, I stand by what I said earlier, vengeance belongs solely to the Lord and no one should die this way or see an assasination as justice – at least not a politician that has left office – that’s what doesn’t make sense, why now?  Abe was out of office and no longer a threat to anyone even if he was corrupt as all these accusations assert.

                                                                                          And back to Patricia N. other post – Such devious dirty rats in the world.  Falling back on the age old control the food control the population strategy. Which ties back into the other point I made on your other post, another reason to be careful of gun legislation – when they take your guns and control your food supply you are left with no choice at that point other than slavery.

                                                                                            Volodin is the top man in the Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, and a very aggressive ally of strongman Vladimir Putin. He is prone to backing up Putin’s policies with blustery threats, as when he threatened last month to make Europe “disappear” in a nuclear fireball if Western governments provided Ukraine with nuclear weapons.

                                                                                            “There’s a part of [Russia’s] territory, Alaska. When they start trying to dispose of our resources abroad, before doing this, they should remember that we, too, have something to take back,” he said.

                                                                                            Residents told local media the billboards were created by a “patriot” company called “Alaska,” which was supposedly not connected to the Russian government.

                                                                                                MAASLAND, Netherlands (AP) – Bales of hay lie burning along Dutch highways. Supermarket shelves stand empty because distribution centres are blocked by farmers. Then, at dusk, a police officer pulls his pistol and shoots at a tractor.

                                                                                                Dutch farmers are embroiled in a summer of discontent that shows no sign of abating. Their target? Government plans to rein in emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia that they say threatens to wreck their agricultural way of life and put them out of business.

                                                                                                At the heart of the clash between farmers and the Dutch government are moves to protect human health and vulnerable natural habitats from pollution in the form of nitrogen oxides and ammonia, which are produced by industry, transport and in the waste of livestock.

                                                                                                Unveiling a map detailing nitrogen reduction targets last month, the Dutch government called it an “unavoidable transition.” It said the coming year would finally bring clarity for Dutch farmers, “whether and how they can continue with their business. The minister sees three options for farmers: become (more) sustainable, relocate or stop.”   [And what will the people eat?]

                                                                                                “The average person currently sees the Netherlands as a nitrogen polluter, while we are also a food producer. It seems like people have forgotten that,” he [Zegwaard] told The Associated Press.

Head there. If you don’t have one, get as far into the middle of the building as possible. If you were outside after the blast, get clean immediately. Remove and bag all outer clothing to keep radioactive dust or ash away from your body.”

The worse possible thing would be living through that scenario. Nuclear fallout. How fun! :wacko: Reminds me of being in school in the 60’s and we’d do these useless nuclear bomb drills. Then the first time I saw pictures of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the footage of nuclear bomb testing I could get over how dumb we were for thinking that crawling under a desk was going to save us. :unsure: But I guess that’s no different than people thinking they can exit this life without Jesus! For a creature that was given such a great ability to think, we sure don’t do too much of it.

I would run outside and shout point me towards ground zero so I can get to my real home! Anyone who would think they could easily survive after a nuclear attack has ignored history. I was wondering if the left might have some underlying motive for pushing their extreme agendas out west…..trying to get conservatives and Christian people to move back east or south….and then “allow” the east coast to get nuked and thinking they will have it made in the west coast….but I don’t know if I could give them that much credit for critical planning…lol

                                                                                                          Business Insider reports that an internal team at Amazon is developing a cancer vaccine in partnership with the Seattle-based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. The project is reportedly already recruiting patients to participate in an FDA-approved clinical trial.

                                                                                                          The clinical test is reportedly aiming to develop personalized vaccines for the treatment of breast cancer and the skin cancer known as melanoma. The vaccine would offer a personalized cancer treatment at an affordable price, becoming an alternative to chemotherapy if trials are successful.

                                                                                                            Cities in California are banning the construction of new gas stations in an effort to fight climate change, despite record-high gas prices and the lack of scientific evidence that banning gas in California will have any effect on global temperatures.

                                                                                                            “We didn’t know what we were doing, actually,” said Petaluma Councilwoman D’Lynda Fischer, who led the charge last year to prohibit new gas stations in the city of 60,000. “We didn’t know we were the first in the world when we banned gas stations.”

                                                                                                            Since Petaluma’s decision, four other cities in the Bay Area have followed suit, and now, leaders in California’s most car-centric metropolis are hoping to bring the climate-conscious policy to Southern California.

                                                                                                            It opens a new front in California’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and already is generating opposition from the fuel industry, which argues consumers would suffer.

                                                                                                            In 2020 — just weeks after the state suffered rolling blackouts due to a lack of wind and solar power — California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that the state would ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles in 2035 in favor of electric vehicles alone.

                                                                                                            Analysts warn that Newsom’s mandate could put gas stations, most of which are small businesses, out of commission, while destroying 32,000 jobs currently held by auto mechanics who work on traditional internal combustion engines. Moreover, recent investigations have found that one in four electric vehicle charging stations in the sympathetic San Francisco Bay Area are out of order.

                                                                                                              With inflation at a 41-year high, gas at record prices, and the cost of food and housing reaching record levels, Americans are looking for alternative methods for staying afloat as their resources are dwindling.

                                                                                                              Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) said in May that Americans had just 5.4% of their paychecks left after paying basic living expenses, leaving very little for savings. This amount is known as the National Personal Savings rate.

                                                                                                              According to Bloomberg, Swedish fintech company Klarna Bank has seen a mass of applications for staples such as food and gas.  The finance company provides interest-free, small installment loans that allow people to make purchases when they are short on cash. Klarna makes money by charging retailers a small per-transaction fee.

                                                                                                              Linda Cruz, a 37-year-old mother of four from Texas told Bloomberg she started using Klarna’s interest-free loans for occasional, large purchases such as a new air conditioner last summer. However, she told the outlet that as prices began to rise for basic needs, she also started using it for groceries.

                                                                                                              Americans are not alone; the economy has been challenging for people across the planet. According to a recent report from The Mirror, Iceland is offering microloans to help families pay for their groceries. However, it carries a steep repayment with an interest level of as much as 45%.

                                                                                                              Yet still, gas prices sit at record numbers, supply chain issues persist, and the policies being made by the White House have done little to make a difference. The result is that Americans will continue to seek alternative measures to meet their essential needs.

                                                                                                              In Biden’s Economy – Americans are Resorting To Microloans to Buy Gas and Groceries

                                                                                                                Four weeks ago, Starbucks CEO Howard Schutz told the NY Times that the company was assessing increasing threats to public safety over its “all-inclusive” 2018 bathroom policy that encouraged homeless people and drug addicts to make copious use.

                                                                                                                The company on Monday announced that it would be permanently closing six stores each in Seattle and Los Angeles, as well as two in Portland, OR, and single locations in Philadelphia and Washington DC by the end of the month.

                                                                                                                The move comes after workers reported incidents involving drug use by customers and members of the public – which, logically, comes after the company’s 2018 virtue signaling campaign which eventually included the installation of needle deposit boxes at various locations after employees signed a petition demanding the company do more to protect them.

                                                                                                                Starbucks also said that it would give store managers leeway to close restrooms, limit seating or reduce operations in response to safety concerns. The moves are part of policies aimed at addressing workers’ concerns, including their safety on the job, the company said.

                                                                                                                Last month, Schultz told the NYTimes that increasing threats to public safety and an expanding mental health crisis have made it challenging for employees to manage stores under open bathroom policies. He said the decision was an “issue of just safety.”

                                                                                                                “We have to harden our stores and provide safety for our people,” the CEO of America’s largest coffee chain said. “I don’t know if we can keep our bathrooms open.”

                                                                                                                    All of a sudden, the Ring of Fire is starting to tremble violently.  Last month, we had a whole bunch of major earthquakes along the Ring of Fire, and this month volcanoes all over the Ring of Fire are erupting.  Of course there has always been seismic activity within this giant band that stretches around the Pacific Ocean.  After all, approximately 75 percent of all volcanoes are located in the Ring of Fire and approximately 90 percent of all global earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.  But what is alarming is that the level of activity appears to be rising.  Chile is experiencing almost constant shaking by earthquakes, a volcano in Peru just awakened for the first time in 40 years, and major volcanic eruptions have just taken place in Ecuador, the Kamchatka peninsula and off the coast of Japan.  The west coast of the United States also lies along the Ring of Fire, but so far it has gotten off easy.  Yes, there has been a little bit of shaking in southern California in recent weeks, but it hasn’t been too bad.  But scientists assure us that will change.  At some point, there will be a major seismic event along the west coast.  It is only a matter of time.

                                                                                                                    A volcanic eruption off the coast of Japan has created a brand new Island called “Niijima” that is literally eating another small volcanic island next to it…  Niijima is Japan’s newest island located in the Philippine Sea that has consistently grown in size since its inception in November. A NASA satellite image from March 30 found that Niijima merged with nearby island Nishino-shima.

                                                                                                                    A volcano in central Ecuador has spewed up a column of hot ash and smoke 10 kilometres high, increasing fears of an eruption.

                                                                                                                    Most Americans don’t realize this, but there are some very powerful volcanoes in Russia as well.  On the Kamchatka peninsula, which is located on the east coast of Russia, a large volcano has belched a column of ash 6 km into the air…

                                                                                                                    Down in Peru, a volcano that has been dormant for most of the past 40 years has suddenly “awakened” and is now “spewing ash and dust into the sky”…

                                                                                                                    In Oregon, Mt. Hood experienced a swarm of more than 100 earthquakes in just a few days last month, fueling fears of an eruption.

                                                                                                                    . . . certain areas of Yellowstone have been experiencing “ground uplift” in recent months, and there has been some highly unusual earthquake activity in the park in recent weeks.  In fact, one of the earthquakes was the largest to be recorded at Yellowstone in about 30 years.

                                                                                                                    Does that mean that something major is going to happen soon?  Let’s hope not, because a major eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano would end life as we know it for most of the country.

                                                                                                                      7-11 has stores around the world.  The company is available seemingly everywhere when you need a staple quickly.  Now, unfortunately, because of recent deadly robberies at their stores, their leadership is recommending shutting down their stores in the Los Angeles area while the police find the killer(s).

                                                                                                                      7-Eleven’s corporate leaders recommended Tuesday that all of its Los Angeles-area stores close for a second night to allow police to investigate a series of deadly robberies.

                                                                                                                      Police in southern California are working to determine whether six robberies committed on Sunday night and Monday morning are connected, according to the Los Angeles Times. One customer and one clerk were killed during the thefts on “National 7/11 Day,” while three others are said to be in critical condition.

                                                                                                                      Americans in the inner cities are the victims of a lack of law and order.  Small businesses in the inner cities are the victims.  Law enforcement with its hands tied is a victim.  This event in Los Angeles may be just a symptom of the real issue – a lack of a law and order philosophy in the city government.

                                                                                                                      7-11 Recommends that All of Their Stores in the Los Angeles Area Be Closed Due to Recent Deadly Robberies

Statewide in that time period, there have been more than 215 freeway shootings, KGO said.

                                                                                                                          Tesla has asked owners in Texas not to charge their cars during a heat wave to help avoid blackouts and overloading the state’s failing power grid.

                                                                                                                          The state is expected to register temperatures of more than 100 degrees in the coming days. The heat also stops wind power from being generated in Texas, which usually provides the state with a quarter of its electricity.

                                                                                                                          In an interview Tuesday with Fox News Digital, energy expert Jonathan Lesser warned that the power crisis in Texas underscores the broader problems with green energy.

                                                                                                                          Lesser argued that due to the lack of reliable utility-scale battery storage infrastructure, forcing a green transition will lead to more power outages.

                                                                                                                          “The reality is: we’re going to have to get used to more blackouts as long as we continue down this green energy path,” Lesser said. “The technology simply isn’t there. You’re going to either have more blackouts or more requirements to conserve energy.”

                                                                                                                          Lesser pointed to the lack of reliability of wind energy during the summer. “The least windy time of year is summer when electricity demand in Texas peaks,” Lesser said. “So, you’ve got a resource that is at its highest in the spring and fall when electricity demand is lowest.

                                                                                                                          Electric Cars Are Now Being Targeted For Overloading The Electric Grids During An Energy Crisis

Might that Tesla have been overpowered by another computer system to cause the crash! Musk became unpopular over the near Twitter purchase. Might people losing their lives in Tesla crashes, cause him to be tied up in with ongoing legal suits to “crash” so to speak, his Tesla Company! I think you just never know these days.

                                                                                                                                  In a Tuesday UAV strike, the US assassinated the leader of ISIS in Syria, while severely wounding another senior ISIS official who eventually succumbed to his wounds yesterday.

                                                                                                                                  US President Joe Biden landed in Israel yesterday.   He is arriving with a record low approval rating of 33% and a 40-year high inflation rate of 9.1%. Yet, with that record and the knowledge that nearly two-thirds of those in his own party don’t want him to run again in 2024, he is apparently planning to tell Israel how we can make everything happy with the Palestinians. While here, he will visit a site on the Mount of Olives without an official Israeli host – a slap in the face to our government. Then he is expected to encourage a two-state solution, while reaffirming his intention to open a Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem.

                                                                                                                                  From Israel, the US president will travel to Saudi Arabia. While there, he will meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a man he once said must be held accountable for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. That get-together could be awkward.

                                                                                                                                  Russia continues to strangle Ukraine. Moscow has taken over 22% of the agricultural land and has burned wheat fields in other parts.

                                                                                                                                  The coalition of Ezekiel continues to be formed before our eyes. Next Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to Tehran, where he will meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. One of the primary purposes for the trilateral summit is the boosting of economic cooperation with Iran.

                                                                                                                                  During a speech last week, Shinzo Abe, former president of Japan, was killed by an assailant using a homemade shotgun. The assassin, who was captured at the scene, was identified as Tetsuya Yamagami, a former marine of the Japanese Self-Defense Force. Yamagami said that his mother had been bankrupted through her support of the Unification Church, and he resented Abe’s support of the religious group. Abe, however, has never been a member or supporter of the “Moonies,” although at one time he did express appreciation for the group’s “focus and emphasis on family values.”

                                                                                                                                  Finally, on Tuesday, the Israeli Air Force and the Greek Air Force conducted a joint training simulation. The exercise included both air-to-air combat, as well as refueling operations. While already enjoying close diplomatic relations, the two countries are drawing even closer as they see great opportunities ahead in the area of energy.

                                                                                                                                    An awakening of sorts seems to be happening in one of the denominations that has strayed from Biblical doctrine. Seventy congregations in north Georgia have voted to leave the United Methodist Church (UMC), primarily because of a creeping acceptance of homosexuality in the denomination. Another 35 in Arkansas and 100 in Florida, as well as many others across the country, are studying the matter.

                                                                                                                                    The split has been brewing for quite some time ever since the homosexual steamroller began to gain some momentum. Besides the Bible, UMC has a denominational manual called the UMC Book of Discipline. It specifically states that homosexuality is “incompatible with Christian teaching.” But some of those in leadership, both in the UMC denominational and local church areas have chosen to ignore these guidelines and go ahead with integrating practicing homosexuals into leadership positions.

                                                                                                                                    Eventually, this led to the current move away from cooperation with the central organization including the establishment of a separate structure called, “Global Methodist Church.” Some UMC groups project that 20% of the churches in their state will abandon the UMC for the GMC.

                                                                                                                                      A 16-foot giant fish captured by a group of fishermen in Chile recently drove locals into a frenzy.  The oarfish is said to be a forerunner of earthquakes and tsunamis, and its appearance is considered a terrible omen in several cultures.  These secretive animals are the world’s longest bony fish, living in the dark depths of the deep sea and rarely seen near the coast.

                                                                                                                                      It is said that when they start to the surface it is because the tectonic plates are in movement.  Internet users believe that the creature’s proximity to the shore signaled imminent underwater earthquakes.

                                                                                                                                      Oarfish may grow to be 11 meters long. They typically dwell in deep water and only come to the surface when sick, dying, or reproducing.  Meanwhile, seeing this fish is unusual.  Legend has it that they beach themselves on coasts before undersea earthquakes, and are known as “Ryugu no tsukai” in Japanese.

                                                                                                                                      The story gained hold during the 2011 Fukushima earthquake and tsunami, which killed over 20,000 people. According to Kyodo News, at least a dozen oarfish washed ashore on Japan’s shoreline the year before the accident.

                                                                                                                                      A group of Japanese academics looked through several sources to see whether there was a link between oarfish sightings and earthquakes.  They gathered data from press publications, scholarly journals, and aquarium records dating from November 1928 to March 2011.  Based on this data, they calculated that the overall number of deep-sea fish encounters was 392 among 45 species.

                                                                                                                                      Only eight of these 45 species, including the oarfish (Regalecus glesne), are linked to earthquakes.

                                                                                                                                      They used statistical tools to compare 336 deep-sea sightings to 221 earthquakes that occurred during that time span, but they were unable to discover an association.

                                                                                                                                        On Wednesday, July 13, Italian citizens stormed La Spezia City Hall after Mayor Pierluigi Peracchini refused to meet with them. “I need to get my daughter some bread, for God’s sake! I have no money to buy bread; what will my daughter eat tonight?” cried a distraught mother at the official residence of the city.

                                                                                                                                        Just recently, shocking video footage of a never-ending line of people circulating outside a food bank in Milan surfaced.

                                                                                                                                        The Globalist elites want complete and total control over consumer access to food. So eventually, your ability to buy food will be tied to your digital identity and social credit score. They already have eliminated market competition and monopolized the food industry.

                                                                                                                                        While the presence of hundreds of food brands gives the appearance of market competition, the reality is that the food industry is monopolized by fewer than a dozen companies, and all of them, in turn, are largely owned by BlackRock and Vanguard.

                                                                                                                                            Antifa can be regularly relied upon to pick on those who are unable to defend themselves.  Whether it be elderly citizens, innocent protesters or local business owners, typically, Antifa isn’t met with much resistance.

                                                                                                                                            Well, that story changed on Saturday when a group of Antifa extremists made a big mistake.  This time, they attempted to victimize a group that had no qualms about fighting back.

                                                                                                                                            According to The Post Millenial, members of Antifa attempted to shut down Honky Tonk Bar in Salem, Oregon, through the use of a “direct action.”  The bar is known for being frequented by bikers.  When the Antifa member’s “direct action” began, many such bikers came out to greet the masked Antifa members.  The exchange ended with an embarrassing defeat.

                                                                                                                                            If you kick enough hornets’ nests, eventually you’re going to get stung.  Antifa learned that the hard way.  Unfortunately for the far-left extremists, this exchange may not be the end of their trouble.

                                                                                                                                            Various Oregon-based motorcycle clubs are now teaming up against the group.  “The confrontation appears to have now ignited a feud between Antifa and members of various Oregon motorcycle clubs,” The Post Millenial reported.

                                                                                                                                              In the same way that the radical left took over education in schools, they have now taken over the museum homes of some of America’s founding fathers.

                                                                                                                                              Instead of teaching accurate history with a sense of national pride, they are presenting America’s founders as nothing more than white slave owners.  This is what happens when the woke crowd is allowed to teach history.

                                                                                                                                              Visitor to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello estate calls out new ‘woke’ tours: ‘Depressing and demoralizing’:  Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello estate reportedly went woke, with visitors saying the displays and tour guides insult his legacy.

                                                                                                                                              Jeffery Tucker, founder of the Brownstone Institute, said his recent experience at the Virginia landmark was sad and deflated the American founder’s reputation. Tucker toured Monticello on July 4 to pay homage to Jefferson, who advocated for emancipation and the separation of church and state.

                                                                                                                                              “Instead I got exactly the opposite,” Tucker said on “Fox & Friends” Monday. “They were just debunking his history, his reputation, putting him down, demoralizing everybody on my tour.”  Tucker recounted his previous visit to the estate as being full of grandeur with a “sense of majesty about the place.”

                                                                                                                                              “No longer,” he told host Brian Kilmeade. “It is depressing and demoralizing and truly upsetting.”  Tucker described the house as looking like a rummage sale with contemporary paintings hung inside. He said tour guides repeatedly diminished Jefferson’s accomplishments, claiming his reputation is “wildly overblown.”

                                                                                                                                              This is also happening at the home of James Madison.

Using his clippings, the aging third president created a New Testament of his own—one that most Christians would hardly recognize. This Bible was focused only on Jesus, but none of his mystical works. It didn’t include major scenes like the resurrection or ascension to heaven, or miracles like turning water into wine or walking on water. Instead, Jefferson’s Bible focused on Jesus as a man of morals, a teacher whose truths were expressed without the help of miracles or the supernatural powers of God.

                                                                                                                                                  Made for his private use and kept secret for decades, Jefferson’s 84-page Bible was the work of a man who spent much of his life grappling with, and doubting, religion.
                                                                                                                                                  Prepared near the end of the ex-president’s life, the Jefferson Bible, as it is now known, included no signs of Jesus’s divinity. In two volumes, The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth and The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, Jefferson edited out biblical passages he considered over-the-top or that offended his Enlightenment-era sense of reason. He left behind a carefully condensed vision of the Bible—one that illustrated his own complex relationship with Christianity.

                                                                                                                                                  The book was kept private for a few reasons. Jefferson himself believed that a person’s religion was between them and their god. Religion is “a matter between every man and his maker, in which no other, & far less the public, [has] a right to intermeddle,” he wrotein 1813.

                                                                                                                                                  But there was another reason for Jefferson to keep his revised Bible private.  In the early 19th century, taking a knife to the Bible was nothing less than revolutionary.  If the book has been known, argues Mitch Horowitz, who edited a reissue of Jefferson’s book, “it likely would have become one of the most controversial and influential religious works of early American history.”

                                                                                                                                                  Jefferson’s editorial work happened in a United States that was deeply rooted in state-sponsored religion. Though many emigrants had come to America to flee religious persecution, laws about religious practice were part of pre-Revolutionary life. Even after the founding of the United States and the ratification of the First Amendment, states used public funds to pay churches and passed laws upholding various tenets of Christianity for over a century after the passage of the Bill of Rights. Massachusetts, for example, didn’t disestablish its official state religion, Congregationalism, until 1833.

                                                                                                                                                  Jefferson, a believer in rational thought and self-determination, had long spoken out against such laws while keeping his own views on religion fiercely private. In 1786, he wrote a Virginia law forbidding the state from compelling anyone to attend a certain church or persecuting them for their religious beliefs. The law unseated the Anglican Church as the official church of Virginia. Jefferson was so proud of his accomplishment that he told his heirs he wanted itinscribed on his tombstone, along with his authorship of the Declaration of Independence and his founding of the University of Virginia.

                                                                                                                                                  During his political career, Jefferson’s religious views—or lack thereof—drew fire from his fellow colonists and citizens. The Federalists charged him with atheism and rebellion against Christianity during the vicious 1800 election. Among them was Theodore Dwight, a journalist who claimed that Jefferson’s election would shoo in the end of Christianity itself. “Murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced, the air will be rent with the cries of distress, the soil will be soaked with blood, the nation black with crimes,” he prophesied.

                                                                                                                                                  Jefferson continued to wrestle with his own views on Christianity after his presidential term ended. His personal correspondence often dealt with religion and religious freedom, and in 1820, when he was 77 years old, he began excising the portions of the New Testament he found unnecessary.

                                                                                                                                                  “Even when this took some rather careful cutting with scissors or razor,” writes historian Edwin S. Gaustad, “Jefferson managed to maintain Jesus’ role as a great moral teacher, not as a shaman or faith healer.” Jefferson didn’t intend for the Bible to be read by others, Gaustad notes. “He composed it for himself,” he writes. “He cherished the diamonds.”

                                                                                                                                                  During Jefferson’s lifetime, few people knew about the former president’s revised Bible, which he willed to Martha Randolph, his eldest daughter. But in the 1880s, a Johns Hopkins University student, Cyrus Adler, found the cut-up books in a private library. When he learned they were Jefferson’s, he began a search for the book they became.

                                                                                                                                                  In 1895, Adler finally got access to Jefferson’s Bible.  By that time, the first volume, The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth, was lost.  but Jefferson’s great-granddaughter agreed to sell the second volume,

That practice ended once the government-sponsored printing ran out, but in the 1990s, economist Judd W. Patton revived the tradition, and began mailing it to each member of Congress. Today, Jefferson’s secret Bible is held by the Smithsonian Institution, which has digitized the book for anyone to read.

                                                                                                                                                    Over the past few years after COVID something very strange happened.  The small businesses couldn’t find workers after being shut down and destroyed financially.  This occurred across the nation.  If you drove through a drive-through across the country the lines were long and the service was poor.  Many restaurants would even pause in the middle of the day selling to customers because no workers were available.  It wasn’t because people weren’t working hard.  It was because there weren’t enough people to do the work.

                                                                                                                                                    You may have asked yourself [like I did] where are the workers?  Before COVID employment was high as well as wages, then comes COVID and the workers disappeared.

                                                                                                                                                    Finally, we have confirmation on what TGP wrote about back in January.  Americans are being paid to stay at home.  Larry Kudlow was on with Mark Levin where he discussed this change in policy that is in place today.  The Democrats are paying people to stay at home.  They changed long-lasting policies to do so.

                                                                                                                                                    They removed workfare.  They removed work requirements from the Federal assistance plans.  So now you have a position where people are getting paid not to work with no penalties and that they destroyed the welfare reform of 25 years ago which was so successful.

                                                                                                                                                      On Thursday, the FCC released a statement announcing that it has ordered all U.S. phone service carriers to block these robocalls, which have been traced to 13 individuals and six companies mainly operating out of Texas and California.

                                                                                                                                                      According to the statement, these 19 entities are responsible for sending more than eight billion illegal robocalls since 2018, and now, the FCC says, telecom companies are responsible for stopping them. Though the FCC had drawn attention to the robocall issue previously, the agency has now named names so that service providers will have all the information they need to make the calls stop.

                                                                                                                                                      “We are not going to tolerate robocall scammers or those that help make their scams possible,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. “Consumers are out of patience and I’m right there with them.”

                                                                                                                                                      Telecom companies that disregard the FCC order may soon be held liable if the robocalls continue.

                                                                                                                                                          According to a CNN report based on interviews with 12 current and former intelligence officials, Chinese telecom giant Huawei has been the subject of investigations by the FBI who now believes that the company’s equipment has the ability to snoop on U.S. military communications, and even disrupt communications when activated.

                                                                                                                                                          Donald Trump put policies in place largely banning Huawei from the United States, considerably damaging the company’s profits, but the equipment remains on many cell towers, including those strategically placed near critical military infrastructure.

                                                                                                                                                          It appears this problem will continue until Congress and the executive branch decide to get serious on Chinese spying.

                                                                                                                                                            Bio-weapons are being developed that use specific DNA to target and kill individuals through their medical profile, a Democrat member of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee warned Friday.  Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), a U.S. Army veteran, used the Aspen Security Forum to warn Americans to be more judicious about sharing their DNA with private companies due to the coming of new bioweapon types.

                                                                                                                                                            His call is a repeat of one made in 2019 when concerns about China acquiring the DNA of American service members prompted the Pentagon to issue an advisory to the entire force against using commercial popular DNA testing kits to trace one’s ancestry.

                                                                                                                                                            “You can actually take someone’s DNA, take, you know, their medical profile and you can target a biological weapon that will kill that person or take them off the battlefield or make them inoperable,” Crow, from Colorado, reportedly said.

                                                                                                                                                            The congressman said the development of sophisticated bioweapons is worrisome given the popularity of DNA testing services, where people willingly share their genetic mapping with businesses to gain insight on their genealogy and health, the Daily Mail reports.

                                                                                                                                                            Crow, a former Army Ranger who served three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, continued: “People will very rapidly spit into a cup and send it to 23andMe and get really interesting data about their background.”  “And guess what? Their DNA is now owned by a private company. It can be sold off with very little intellectual property protection or privacy protection and we don’t have legal and regulatory regimes to deal with that.”

                                                                                                                                                            DNA service provider 23andMe has repeatedly stated it does not sell off customers’ private information.

                                                                                                                                                            But two congressional sources told Breitbart News the Pentagon’s warning was prompted by concern over China’s efforts to obtain DNA and other personal health information from companies popular in the U.S.

                                                                                                                                                              Ireland’s massive push to see agriculture emissions cut by over a quarter comes as the Netherlands see roads and distribution centres blocked by farmers who claim that they are having their livelihoods obliterated by their country’s enforcement of EU green targets.

                                                                                                                                                              The Dutch government is pushing to cut nitrogen emissions in some areas by 95 percent — a move that would result in as many as 30 percent of the country’s livestock farms being forced to close.

                                                                                                                                                              Despite such a devastating impact, the government has pushed on with the enforcement, describing the closures as simply an “unavoidable transition” that is part and parcel of the EU’s reforms.

                                                                                                                                                              “For some reason, they aren’t coming after the airlines or other industries that actually are contributors to these emissions apart from the Dutch farmers,” political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek told Breitbart News during an interview with network editor-in-chief Alex Marlow.

                                                                                                                                                              “They are saying that the farmers need to give up 30 percent of their land by 2030 and for a lot of these farmers that means they will go completely out of business depending on where they are in the country, and that land goes to the state, surprise, surprise,” she went on to say.

                                                                                                                                                              “Our farmers are being expropriated and the state is stealing their land… and oftentimes these are businesses that they have had in their families for centuries on end because the farming industry in the Netherlands is very strong,” she explained, while noting the links the country’s prime minister Mark Rutte has with the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Visit her website at CarrieMadej.com and you can watch lots of her interviews on Brighteon.com. (Just search the site for “Madej” and it will pull up many interviews.)

These are very dangerous times, and people are being targeted for assassination.
