***** FLASH ***** BULLETIN ***** URGENT***** Russian Hmeimim Airbase ATTACKED by Air Strikes and Naval Salvos, in Syria

Hal Turner World October 03, 2024 Hits: 30033

Reports are flooding-in that "unknown aircraft" have attacked Russia's Hmeimim Airbase in Latakia / Tartus Syria. The battle is ongoing for the past 55 minutes !!!

Not only did "unknown aircraft" hit a warehouse on the base where an Iranian Plane had just been unloaded , reports also indicate "salvos of ship-launched missiles began hitting the Russian base launched by ships in the Mediterranean Sea."

To my knowledge, only the United States and NATO have naval vessels in that part of the Mediterranean.

Info is coming in fast, but if the air strikes were carried out by Israel, and the naval missiles by the US, NATO, then World War 3 has just begun.

More as I get it. 12:27 AM 03 October 2024

UPDATE 12:36 AM EDT --

Syrian media reports that Syrian and Russian air defenses have been actively engaging "hostile targets" for over 50 minutes across Latakia, Jableh, and Tartous.

Russian-operated Hmeimim Airbase was among the targets, with over 50 projectiles reportedly intercepted. Large fires have broken out near Jableh, with firefighting crews dispatched to the area.

UPDATE 12:47 AM EDT --

ISRAEL is reportedly hitting "terrorist targets in western Syria and along the Syria coastline."

So far they've hit in Latakia and Tartus, home ports of the Russian Mediterranean Flotilla.

Also the Russian Hmeimim Air Base.

The Russian ammo stockpile there is exploding.

Russian air defenses are reportedly firing at Israeli aircraft.

The strikes occurred an hour after the arrival of an Iranian plane belonging to "Qashim Fars" airline.

The source of the bombing is not yet confirmed, but it reportedly involved 30 missiles fired from naval battleships between 3:55 and 4:41 AM.

Grid Apocalypse Hits Carolinas: 360 Substations Down, Power Restoration Could Take "Months"

by Tyler Durden Wednesday, Oct 02, 2024 - 03:05 PM

Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC), representing a district in the western portion of the state battered by Hurricane Helene, released a press release Sunday detailing the infrastructure devastation.

The destructive path of #Helene has left extensive damage to @DukeEnergy infrastructure in the #NC mountains and Upstate #SC . We believe around 50% of remaining outages in these areas will require significant replacement and rebuilding of poles, lines and substation equipment. pic.twitter.com/b7eANjX0ta

— Jeff Brooks (@DE_JeffB) September 30, 2024

Edwards said power outages remain widespread in Western North Carolina as of Sunday. Fast-forward to Wednesday morning, Poweroutage.US data shows more than 400,000 residents are without power in the region.

He explained that 360 power substations "are out," indicating that "many of these substations were completely flooded, and Duke Energy is unable to assess the damage until the flooding has lowered, the water has been pumped out, and the equipment is thoroughly dried."

What's piqued our interest is that the powering up America theme to power AI data centers and other electrification trends, such as EVs and onshoring manufacturing (as outlined in "The Next AI Trade"), has led to shortages and price increases in the transformer market.

"Distribution transformers are a bedrock component of our energy infrastructure," National Renewable Energy Laboratory researcher Killian McKenna said, who was recently quoted by PV Magazine.

McKenna pointed out, "But utilities needing to add or replace them are currently facing high prices and long wait times due to supply chain shortages. This has the potential to affect energy accessibility, reliability, affordability—everything."

Other reasons for the transformer shortages besides power grid upgrades include raw material sourcing problems, pandemic-related supply chain woes and backlogs, labor constraints, shipping issues, and geopolitical tensions.

Given all of this, Jesse D. Jenkins, an assistant professor and macro-energy systems engineering and policy expert at Princeton University, responded to the dire situation of a grid apocalypse playing out in the Southeast US:

"This is devastating. We do NOT have 360 substations worth of transformers and other electrical equipment sitting in stockpiles waiting to be deployed. It could take a very long time to restore power to everyone. Are we facing a Hurricane Maria-type impact on grid infrastructure?"

This is devastating. We do NOT have 360 substations worth of transformers and other electrical equipment sitting in stockpiles waiting to be deployed. It could take a very long time to restore power to everyone. Are we facing a Hurricane Maria-type impact on grid infrastructure? https://t.co/k0Wli7XlEf 

— Jesse D. Jenkins (@JesseJenkins) September 30, 2024

Making matters worse for residents of North Carolina, some X users are pointing out the Biden-Harris administration supplied transformers to Ukraine. It's unclear if these transformers were drained for US stockpiles. Meanwhile, others note that Ukraine uses a different electrical system than the US.

We do not have this equipment readily available because we have shipped large quantities of transformers and other electrical equipment to Ukraine. Both our military and non-military support for Ukraine has left us less prepared for domestic disasters like Hurricane Helene: https://t.co/cOct3JkcVU pic.twitter.com/laVtNIuCoa

— Dan Caldwell ?? (@dandcaldwell) October 1, 2024

What's not questionable is this: Earlier this year, US ambassador to Kyiv Bridget Brink jumped for joy on X, indicating United States Agency for International Development delivered "50 voltage transformers, 9 current transformers, & 80 isolators."

You know, just Washington elites have been prioritizing Ukraine's power grid over the US' fragile grid.

Last week we provided through @USAID 50 voltage transformers, 9 current transformers, & 80 isolators to Kharkiv’s energy distribution system operator to help energy workers undertake urgent repairs to Kharkiv’s electrical grid damaged by Russia’s missile and drone attacks. pic.twitter.com/C8VmGLuliD

— Ambassador Bridget A. Brink (@USAmbKyiv) May 21, 2024

Nathaniel Horadam, a managing consultant and automated vehicle specialist with the Atlanta-based nonprofit Center for Transportation and the Environment, wrote on X, " It's Hard to express how insane this is. With ongoing supply chain challenges facing switchgear and transformers, this could take many months to resolve."

"There's no excess capacity to quickly replace substation infrastructure. Lower priority sites could literally take years," Horadam warned.

Possibly summed up here...

They tax us to death, still manage to run up over $38 trillion in debt, and apparently we are financing the infrastructure for other nations and neglecting our own.

This is actually dangerous.

MARBURG VIRUS SUSPECTED ON TRAIN IN GERMANY!

Hal Turner World October 02, 2024 Hits: 23544

German federal police have blocked several tracks at Hamburg Central Station because two travelers had apparently been infected with the deadly Marburg virus while treating patients suffering from the 88% fatal disease in Rwanda!

Marburg is a rare but severe hemorrhagic fever, like the Ebola Virus; patients develop flu-like symptoms which then worsen into bleeding from the eyes and body orifices which ultimately kills them.

Marburg virus spreads between people via direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing) contaminated with these fluids.

The Republic of Rwanda has confirmed several cases of Marburg virus disease (Marburg) in hospitals around the country, including eight (8) deaths so far out of 26 cases. This is the country's first Marburg virus outbreak.

A medical student, who treated a patient with Marburg virus disease during a recent trip to Rwanda, arrived on a flight to Frankfurt, Germany before developing symptoms while traveling to Hamburg. He was hospitalized alongside his girlfriend.

Frankfurt is major air-hub; people that traveled with him in the plane could be all over Europe by now.

The Hamburg Central Station has been closed as a result of this emergency.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW --

Marburg virus is the causative agent of Marburg virus disease (MVD), a disease with a case fatality ratio of up to 88%, but can be much lower with good patient care. . . MEANING THE FATALITY RATE DROPS TO "ONLY" 24 PERCENT.

Marburg virus disease was initially detected in 1967 after simultaneous outbreaks in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany; and in Belgrade, Serbia.

Two large outbreaks that occurred simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967, led to the initial recognition of the disease. The outbreak was associated with laboratory work using African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) imported from Uganda. Subsequently, outbreaks and sporadic cases have been reported in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, South Africa (in a person with recent travel history to Zimbabwe) and Uganda. In 2008, two independent cases were reported in travelers who had visited a cave inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies in Uganda.

Transmission

Initially, human MVD infection results from prolonged exposure to mines or caves inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies.

Marburg spreads through human-to-human transmission via direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing) contaminated with these fluids.

Health-care workers have frequently been infected while treating patients with suspected or confirmed MVD. This has occurred through close contact with patients when infection control precautions are not strictly practiced. Transmission via contaminated injection equipment or through needle-stick injuries is associated with more severe disease, rapid deterioration, and, possibly, a higher fatality rate.

Symptoms of Marburg virus disease

The incubation period (interval from infection to onset of symptoms) varies from 2 to 21 days.

Illness caused by Marburg virus begins abruptly, with high fever, severe headache and severe malaise. Muscle aches and pains are a common feature. Severe watery diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping, nausea and vomiting can begin on the third day. Diarrhea can persist for a week. The appearance of patients at this phase has been described as showing “ghost-like” drawn features, deep-set eyes, expressionless faces, and extreme lethargy. In the 1967 European outbreak, non-itchy rash was a feature noted in most patients between 2 and 7 days after onset of symptoms.

Many patients develop severe hemorrhagic manifestations between 5 and 7 days, and fatal cases usually have some form of bleeding, often from multiple areas. Fresh blood in vomitus and feces is often accompanied by bleeding from the nose, gums, and vagina. Spontaneous bleeding at venipuncture sites (where intravenous access is obtained to give fluids or obtain blood samples) can be particularly troublesome. During the severe phase of illness, patients have sustained high fevers. Involvement of the central nervous system can result in confusion, irritability, and aggression. Orchitis (inflammation of one or both testicles) has been reported occasionally in the late phase of disease (15 days).

In fatal cases, death occurs most often between 8 and 9 days after symptom onset, usually preceded by severe blood loss and shock.

Author Stephen King's book "The Stand" was modeled on this virus.

Hal Turner Personal Opinion

This is one virus that should scare the willies out of you. Both Ebola Zaire and Marburg are among the deadliest on earth. They make COVID-19 look like a simple sniffle.

We're talking Level IV bio-containment all the way and even under those strict protocols it's still risky to handle.

We came "this close" to a major an outbreak in the early 90's from infected apes in a Baltimore testing lab -that had no such Level IV protections - and it took USAMRID's top people, notably Col. Nancy Jaax, to stop a potential spread that could've killed millions within a few weeks.

That entire event was chillingly detailed in Richard Preston's 1996 best-selling book "THE HOT ZONE" and if you want to get the shit scared out of you, just read it. And no: the TV-miniseries produced by The National Geographic didn't do it justice.

If Marburg were to get loose in the general population, within just a few days it would be too late for containment and those depopulation figures stated by the Deagel Report back in the year 2016, would quickly come true. And yeah: that report said the depopulation was supposed to happen in the next year or so.

Think about that for just a second. Pretty convenient.

There are also CLAIMS, and I emphasize the word "CLAIMS" that elements of the Marburg virus were intentionally included in the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. These CLAIMS go on to say that a pulsed burst of 18GHz frequency from 5G cell towers, can cause the COVID-19 vax lipid envelopes to "burst" allowing the internal Marburg virus to escape into the blood stream of the vaccinated and do its thing.

I know of absolutely NO corroboration of these claims. But . . . . what if it's true?

If they start emitting the pulses, the Marburg gets out into vaccine-recipient blood streams, people start dropping dead en-masse and all of a sudden, Wha-La - depopulation in 2024-2025, just like the Deagel Report said would take place.

For what it's worth, here is a screen shot from the Deagel Report in the year 2016, which outlines the drop in US population from 327 Million in the year 2017, down to 100 Million in the year 2025.

If the guy they took off that train in Germany developed symptoms ON THE TRAIN, and if he subsequently tests positive for Marburg Virus, then he was contagious ON THE PLANE. People from that plane could not only be all over Europe by now, they could also be here in the USA.

The text chart from Deagel.com covering the United States appears below. Note the drop in population by 68.5 percent by 2025 and the drop in national Gross Domestic Product by 85.4 percent! ! ! !

Fears soar as deadly 'eye-bleeding' disease spreads into Europe as 9 killed

The World Health Organisation has warned the virus is a 'highly virulent disease that causes haemorrhagic fever, with a fatality ratio of up to 88 percent'.

By Charlie Bradley

14:57, Tue, Oct 1, 2024 | UPDATED: 16:42, Wed, Oct 2, 2024

Experts are worried amid the outbreak of an "eye-bleeding disease" that has spread to Europe.

There have been nine deaths and 27 total cases from an incurable Ebola-like virus in Rwanda, Africa.

The virus, called Marburg, is a "highly virulent disease that causes haemorrhagic fever, with a fatality ratio of up to 88 percent", the World Health Organisation (WHO) says.

According to reports, the disease may have even spread to Belgium.

A chart shared on X showed that the wife of someone with Malburg may have traveled to Belgium.

Most of the cases reported so far have involved healthcare workers in Kigali, the Rwandan capital.

Kigali has a population of 1.2million people, meaning the disease could spread quickly.

Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia, told The Sun: "The incubation period is between five and 15 days, plenty long enough for someone to get on a plane and fly anywhere in the world.

The incubation period of a virus is the time between exposure to the virus and the onset of symptoms.

The WHO said "appropriate response measures have been implemented" by Rwandan authorities.

Hospital visits have been banned in Kigali and the US Embassy is telling its staff to work remotely.

The Marburg virus spreads to humans from fruit bats via direct contact with bodily fluids like blood, saliva, and mucus.

It can cause symptoms such as high fever, intense headaches, muscle pain, diarrhoea, and vomiting.

Marburg outbreaks typically only lead to no more than ten cases, with only two surpassing the 100 mark.

The WHO adds: "Human infection with Marburg virus disease initially results from prolonged exposure to mines or caves inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies.

"Once an individual is infected with the virus, Marburg can spread through human-to-human transmission via direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing) contaminated with these fluids."

Approaching Armageddon: Iran's Attack Has Ended, but Israel and US Have Sworn to Retaliation of "Severe Consequences"

David Haggith Oct 01, 2024

Iran promised a response in its own time over an assassination by bombing that happened recently in Tehran. It was almost certain to respond to the missile strike that killed Hezbollah’s top chief Nasrallah, and was pressed even harder to respond to the ground war Israel launched last night, moving troops into Lebanon.

The response came fast and furious today with missiles in videos appearing to strike numerous targets across Israel. That is far different than Iran’s missile attack in April when Iran retaliated over Israel’s bombing of its consulate in Syria, which had resulted in the deaths of, at least, seven officials, including Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a top commander in Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, and Senior Commander Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi. Iran’s missile response to Israel back then appeared to be staged as a shot-over-the-bow that was never intended to take out any targets more important than a goat shed—a mere show of force to say, “This is what we can rain down on you and get past your defenses, but with intended targets next time.”

Next time came today, and the attack, at first blush, looked more like Iran’s declaration of war on Israel because many missiles didn’t blow up until they hit the ground, though the targets were either unknown as the story rapidly unfolded or were undisclosed. It may even have been missiles that were shot down by the US or Israel that hit the ground and exploded, but it certainly appeared some missiles evaded promised US defensive measures in the videos below.

Today shows how rapidly a situation like the one that everyone has been saying could escalate … suddenly can escalate. This morning, the situation leaped to what appeared to be all-out war.

There can be no doubt that the rage of Israel and the threat the US made to Iran that any new missile attack on Israeli soil out of Iran would have major repercussions will now result in those major repercussions. If not, their future warnings will be meaningless.

This also likely means that, if Iran does not use whatever nuclear bombs/missiles it has attained, if any, it will never have the chance to do so again. I will be surprised if Israel and the US do not seize the opportunity here to do what they have long promised to do in making sure Iran never attains a nuclear weapon. So, I suspect that is what the vague major repercussions from the US mean.

Iran must surely know this is likely its last window of opportunity for any nuclear attack; so, if it has such weapons, it won’t wait long to use them.

With the world holding its breath over an all-out war in the Middle East, President Joe Biden ordered the US military to 'aid Israel's defence' and shoot down Iranian missiles targeting Israel, the White House said.

It’s a little late for that, but no doubt he had issued that much of an order hours ago, and it just now made its way into the press after the main action as the story I’m writing about is rapidly evolving. Judging from the video footage that I updated today’s original publication with (and have included below), a number of Iran’s missiles, due to the shear scale of the barrage, made it past both US and Israeli defensive measures as they can be seen exploding as they hit the ground, though their targets were not visible.

Air raid sirens sounded as missiles began raining down on Israel on Tuesday, with some rockets dramatically exploding into bright orange flames near Tel Aviv….

The IDF has not confirmed which missiles were used, but the US had warned earlier that it was preparing for Iran to launch ballistic missiles this evening in yet another major escalation that leaves the Middle East on the brink….

Israeli media are reporting that over 500 missiles have been fired into Israel in what Iran has confirmed is a revenge attack for Israel's assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah….

The devastating attack on Israel comes just hours after the IDF launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon to carry out raids against Iranian-backed Hezbollah targets.

This could easily be the turn to all-out war between Israel and Iran that many have feared, which also includes Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel is fighting on many fronts as it is continuing to devastate targets in Lebanon and Syria while rockets from its enemies were striking a number of Israeli towns and cities. Long gone are the days when the best that Israel’s foes could muster was to send dumb rockets that were usually lucky if they hit an Israeli sheep in the desert. This looked like it was becoming existential for Israel this morning, but then the attack ended as quickly as it began.

After about 45 minutes, the IDF said it was safe for people across Israel to leave shelters, and spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said the military did not "identify any additional aerial threats from Iran."

Iran also indicated, via the UN, that its attack was over; and Israel’s military said they were not, as of yet, aware of any casualties.

Iran promised a “crushing response,” however, if Israel retaliates “or commits further acts of malevolence.” Analysts said Iran was likely seeking to look tough but not provoke a broad retaliation, and Israel has now also confirmed it looks like Iran’s attack is already over:

Israel says Iran missile attack appears to be over and threatens retaliation

Israel's military said the attack appeared to be over and Israelis were told it was safe to leave shelters. Paramedics were searching sites where there were reports of rocket strikes….

Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), pledged that the attack “will have consequences”. He added that the country remained on high alert.

He said Israel will respond to Iran’s attack in a time of its own choosing. Only yesterday, Prime Ministers Netanyahu said confidently regime change in Iran would not be far off.

One thing is certain, Netanyahu’s wars have certainly stabilized his own regime by taking political and, perhaps, legal pressure off him in focusing Israel’s attention on its enemies. He’s suddenly riding a wave of euphoric far-right support.

On October 7, Israeli Prime Minister’s Benjamin Netanyahu’s self-styled image as “Mister Security” seemed irrevocably shattered by the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. The Jewish homeland and its leader had failed to protect the people. How could he possibly survive?…

Nearly a year later, Netanyahu has staged a remarkable turnaround. Though Likud would still struggle to form a government were elections held today, a brutal campaign of airstrikes in Lebanon and assassinations across the Middle East in recent weeks have buoyed the prime minister to heights unimaginable in the immediate aftermath of Hamas’ attacks almost a year ago.

A poll released Sunday by Israel’s Channel 12 showed that Likud would win 25 seats were elections to be held today, making it the largest party. Netanyahu enjoys 38% support, according to the survey.

“The regional confrontations are good for Netanyahu,” veteran pollster and analyst Dahlia Scheindlin told CNN. “They seem quite clearly to be the contributing factor to his recovery.”

Israel’s aggressive military maneuvers against its enemies, she said, have helped restored a sense of agency and strength destroyed by Hamas’ October 7 attack….

The latest word is that Israel and the US are now plotting joint action to bring “severe consequences” for Iran.

russia Allegedly Deploys the ODAB-9000 Super Bomb in Vovchansk (Video)

Sofiia Syngaivska October 2, 2024

sofiyka.kv@gmail.com

russian military sources claim to have used the ODAB-9000, the world’s most powerful non-nuclear weapon, in a strike on Vovchansk

Russian military sources have claimed the deployment of a super-powerful bomb on the Ukrainian city of Vovchansk. According to russian media, the bomb is believed to be the ODAB-9000 vacuum bomb, also referred to as the Father of Kuzka or the Father of all bombs. This weapon is reportedly the most powerful non-nuclear munition in the world, with an explosive power equivalent to 44,000 kg of TNT.

The ODAB-9000 is a thermobaric weapon, meaning it utilizes oxygen from the surrounding air to generate an intense explosion and blast wave, causing widespread destruction over a large area. If true, this would be the first recorded use of the ODAB-9000 in combat.

However, conflicting reports suggest that the bomb dropped on Vovchansk may have been smaller ODAB-1500 thermobaric bomb, which followed failed russian infantry assault. While both bombs are highly destructive, the ODAB-1500 has a significantly lower yield compared to the ODAB-9000.

The exact nature of the weapon used and its impact on the battlefield continue to be subjects of debate.

Strange - Worrisome: ALL DC Air Space to 99,000 Feet CLOSED Until Further Notice

Hal Turner Nation September 27, 2024 Hits: 52794

A Temporary Flight Restriction Notice has gone out via a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) closing off all air space around Washington DC from surface to 99,000 feet, until further notice. This type of all-encompassing closure simply does not happen. Something big is up.

As seen below, this closure is for "National Defense Airspace."

I received this from a listener who is a private pilot in Virginia. He told me:

"I'm a private pilot that checks weather, TFR's and NOTAMS every day. I live in Central Virginia, and fly often. This TFR that popped up for DC for today 9/27/24 is unprecedented. Surface to 99,000MSL. I have never seen this in all the years I've been flying. Usually, TFR is surface to 18,000 feet MSL. Why the change? Are they expecting something?

Day 361 of the war: On Tuesday evening, Iran fired around 180 ballistic missiles targeting central and southern Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday and a senior Iranian general in Beirut., setting off approximately 1,864 warning sirens nationwide. Three impacts were confirmed, with three people sustaining minor injuries in Tel Aviv. Israeli sources stated, "What Iran has experienced from Israel so far is a fraction of what's to come." In response to the security situation, 13,000 volunteers from readiness units will be immediately deployed across Israel. The IDF spokesperson updated that at this stage, no additional threats from Iran are detected in Israeli airspace, with only isolated impacts reported in central and other southern areas of the country. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced, "We launched hundreds of missiles at the heart of the occupied territories in response to the assassination of Nasrallah and Abbas Nilforoushan (the Iranian general eliminated in the Dahieh attack)."The IDF spokesperson made his fourth statement of the evening, noting that "the fire was more extensive, with few impacts and few casualties."Hagari added, "At this stage, we do not identify additional threats from Iran in the airspace. People can leave protected spaces but should continue to follow instructions and remain vigilant." He stated, "We carried out numerous interceptions, with only isolated impacts. We are still assessing the situation. We ask not to provide information to the enemy and not to share footage."

Raising the stakes, Israel weighs calculated strike in response to Iran

Analysis: Israel can strike Iran's nuclear or oil sites, but such action may conflict with Israeli and US interests; Tehran has escalated its aggression under pressure from weakened proxies and strained alliances

Ron Ben-Yishai|Yesterday | 23:33

The Iranian ballistic missile attack on Tuesday marked a significant escalation in the conflict, particularly due to the strategic sites targeted by Tehran. The Iranians attempted to strike key locations such as airports and the Dimona area, fully aware that their imprecise missiles could impact civilian areas.

The attack largely failed, causing few injuries as most missiles were intercepted. This success was attributed to the strong coordination between Israel's Air Force, its aerial defenses and the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

Israel must now consider escalating its response—not only due to the attempt to target strategic sites with missiles carrying nearly one-ton warheads but also because of the deliberate effort to provoke and incite panic within the country.

This marked Iran's second direct attack on Israel, with Tehran claiming to have targeted military air bases and radar systems in an attempt to disable Israel's defenses. Iran has now become a primary focus for Israel, much like Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank.

Iran’s leadership likely anticipates an Israeli response, carefully planning its next move. The attack came as Tehran faced criticism for seemingly abandoning its proxies and weakening its regional axis. The recent assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut and an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander in Lebanon have severely damaged Iran’s standing.

Israel’s strike on Houthi-controlled Hodeidah in Yemen on Sunday could signal a potential retaliatory strike on Iran, possibly targeting its nuclear or oil facilities. Iran’s economy is heavily dependent on oil and gas exports. Israel’s measured response to the Iranian missile attack in April left Tehran uncertain about what happened to its Russian-made S-300 aerial defense systems, which protected key sites like the Natanz nuclear facility and Isfahan airport.

However, even as Israel seeks to increase its deterrence, it must weigh U.S. concerns about avoiding a broader regional war. Striking Iran’s nuclear facilities could go against both Israeli and American interests. Such an attack might push Iran to accelerate its nuclear ambitions and trigger a full-scale conflict.

As a result, Israel is likely to choose a response that Washington would deem appropriate, legitimate and measured, while addressing the ballistic missile strike. Israel’s broader interest lies in concluding this chapter to focus on Lebanon and its other fronts.

Iranian FM: Our attack on Israel was in self-defense

Arutz Sheva ^ | 2/10/24 | Elad Benari

Posted on 10/2/2024, 2:27:06 AM by Eleutheria5

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on Tuesday claimed that Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Israel was self-defense.

In a post on social media site X, Araqchi also said Iran would not attack Israel again, unless Israel “invites further retaliation”.

“Earlier this evening, we exercised self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, targeting solely military and security sites in charge of genocide in Gaza and Lebanon,” claimed the Iranian Foreign Minister.

“We did so after exercising tremendous restraint for almost two months, to give space for a ceasefire in Gaza,” he continued.

Araqchi then warned, “Our action is concluded unless [the] Israeli regime decides to invite further retaliation. In that scenario, our response will be stronger and more powerful.”

“Israel's enablers now have a heightened responsibility to rein in the warmongers in Tel Aviv instead of getting involved in their folly,” he stated.

Biden to Provide US Hurricane Victims Pennies Compared to Proxy Wars

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

The US government prioritizes foreign entities over their own citizens. President Joe Biden and his handlers have pledged over $17 BILLION to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel in the past week alone. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has already gone on record to tell American hurricane victims that they should not expect any additional resources from the federal government. “We’ve given everything that we have,” Biden unsympathetically said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky abruptly visited America ahead of the election to beg for additional aid before the end of the federal fiscal year on September 30. He walked away with over $8 billion, including $5.6 billion in weapons and $2.4 billion worth of aid. Joe Biden enacted the Presidential Drawdown Authority, which allowed him to draw additional weapons from stockpiles that were meant to help allies in an emergency. He has used this countless times but most recently pledged $375 million in military supplies for Ukraine.

Not to be outdone, Israel received $8.7 billion from the United States in the past week. The package includes $5.2 billion to secure Israel’s air defense systems and $3.5 billion for essential wartime procurement. Incredible that the US government can pledge billions to secure the Iron Dome while completely ignoring its own borders.

Our Commander in Chief has sent about 3,000 troops to the Middle East, according to the Pentagon. There are already 40,000 soldiers positioned in the region, although Kamala Harris insisted during the debate that this marked the first time that US soldiers have not been deployed to foreign wars.

Then President Joe Biden approved $567 million in defense support for Taiwan on Sunday as countless states were being swept away by Hurricane Helene. Let’s involve America in another war as the nation is distracted and grappling with tragedy. The specifics regarding this package remain vague, but rest assured it is moving the US in the neocon’s intended direction.

Imagine if these resources were invested domestically. This is a mere fraction of what the federal government has provided to these three nations and will continue to provide so long as a neocon remains in power. We have seen this happen countless times with other natural disasters at home, such as fires in Maui, where the people received a small one-time payment of $700 after losing absolutely everything. The government no longer needs to pretend to care about its citizens as people continue to vote for AMERICA LAST policies.

Scholars Have Been Warning Of A Great End Times War In The Middle East For Decades. Now It Is Here.

October 1, 2024 by Michael

For as long as any of us have been alive, those that study the Bible have been warning us that there would be an apocalyptic war in the Middle East in the end times. Personally, I have specifically warned about this war in many of my books. Now a great end times war is playing out in the Middle East right in front of our eyes, but a lot of people out there still don’t seem to get it. This isn’t just another war in the Middle East. What we are witnessing is the final showdown between Israel and Iran.

On Tuesday, Iran shocked the entire world when it fired large numbers of missiles into Israel. The following comes from CNN…

Missiles have been launched from Iran toward Israel and sirens are sounding across the country, according to a statement from Israel’s military.

CNN teams on the ground in multiple locations across Israel have observed dozens of missiles flying above them. Some have been intercepted by Israel’s air defenses, although it is not clear how many.

There are conflicting reports about the exact number of missiles that were fired at Israel.

But everyone seems to agree that “hundreds” of missiles were in the air, and videos posted on social media appear to show many of them making impact.

Iran is claiming that 80 percent of their missiles made it through, and the IDF is admitting that at least some of the missiles were not intercepted…

Iran’s state TV claimed that 80 percent of their missiles launched at Israel hit their target. It’s unclear exactly what the targets were.

Israeli army spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the country’s air defense system was fully operational, detecting and intercepting threats.

‘However, the defense is not hermetic,’ he noted.

Just prior to Iran’s attack, the White House warned that there would be “severe consequences” if Iran launched missiles at Israel…

White House and Defense Department had warned earlier that Iran was preparing to launch ballistic missiles at Israel.

“We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran,” a senior White House official told NBC News.

So what will those “severe consequences” look like?

Is the Biden administration about to fire missiles at Iran?

The Israelis are also promising to respond “in the place and the time we determine”, but we don’t know any specifics at this stage.

If the Israelis strike back at Iran, and I am entirely convinced that they will, the Iranians are warning that they will launch a “crushing attack”…

“Should the Zionist regime respond to Iran’s operation, it will face crushing attack,” said the IRGC, Iran’s paramilitary organization.

This is not going to end well, but most of you already knew that.

Just before Iranian missiles were launched on Tuesday, there was a horrifying terror attack in Jaffa that resulted in the deaths of eight people…

Eight people were killed and at least seven wounded, as well as a dog, in a shooting terror attack in Jaffa, in central Israel, on Tuesday evening, Magen David Adom reported.

At least four people were reported critically wounded. Magen David Adom announced that the incident involved multiple causalities.

The shooting occurred near a light rail station in the central Israeli city. Two terrorists who were observed exiting the train were shot dead by security forces.

We should expect to see a lot more terror attacks in the days ahead.

Now that IDF forces have entered southern Lebanon, there is no turning back. Israeli Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari is characterizing the incursions into southern Lebanon as “localized raids”, but everyone realizes that this is just the beginning.

So far, it is unclear how much success Israeli troops are having in southern Lebanon.

There were reports that Israeli forces successfully entered a number of villages in southern Lebanon, but Al Jazeera insists that the IDF is encountering “fierce resistance” from Hezbollah militants…

Ali Rizk, a security and political affairs analyst based in Beirut, says Israeli troops attempted to “overwhelm” Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon late last night but were repelled and forced to withdraw.

“What the Israeli side might be doing is a propaganda war when they speak about successfully entering Lebanese territory. So this might be part of an Israeli psychological war, which wouldn’t be the first time they resort to such tactics,” Rizk told Al Jazeera.

“We’ll have to see how the ground invasion unfolds. But – according to a source with ties to Hezbollah – the Israelis did meet fierce resistance in the late hours of last night. It does appear this is not going to be an easy battle for Israel, even if Hezbollah has lost its leader and senior military commanders. That still leaves Hezbollah to be a formidable foe to inflict heavy costs on the Israelis in their ground invasion.”

Right now we are in the early hours of fighting, and so we may not get a fully accurate picture of what is transpiring on the ground for a while.

But without a doubt this is going to be far different from what we witnessed in Gaza.

Hezbollah is far more powerful than Hamas was, and Hezbollah has much more powerful allies.

Following the overnight raids into southern Lebanon, Israeli officials “called on residents in more than 20 areas in southern Lebanon to evacuate their homes”…

Following the overnight raids, IDF officials this morning called on residents in more than 20 areas in southern Lebanon to evacuate their homes, signalling more ground operations were imminent.

‘The IDF (Israeli military) does not want to harm you, and for your own safety you must evacuate your homes immediately.

‘Anyone who is near Hezbollah members, installations and combat equipment is putting his life in danger,’ army spokesman Avichay Adraee said on X.

This seems to indicate that Israeli forces will soon be attempting to move into those areas.

Of course Hezbollah sees this as an “invasion”, and Hezbollah officials have warned over and over again that an “invasion” of southern Lebanon will mean all-out war.

And now that hundreds of missiles have been fired into Israel, it appears that the Iranians and the Israelis are on the verge of all-out war too.

We have been warned that this was coming for decades, and now it is here.

A great end times war in the Middle East has begun, and it isn’t going to be pretty.

Dockworkers at ports from Maine to Texas go on strike, a standoff risking new shortages

By TOM KRISHER and TASSANEE VEJPONGSA

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dockworkers at ports from Maine to Texas began walking picket lines early Tuesday in a strike over wages and automation that could reignite inflation and cause shortages of goods if it goes on more than a few weeks.

The contract between the ports and about 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association expired at midnight, and even though progress was reported in talks on Monday, the workers went on strike. The strike affecting 36 ports is the first by the union since 1977.

Workers began picketing at the Port of Philadelphia shortly after midnight, walking in a circle at a rail crossing outside the port and chanting “No work without a fair contract.”

The union had message boards on the side of a truck reading: “Automation Hurts Families: ILA Stands For Job Protection.”

Local ILA president Boise Butler said workers want a fair contract that doesn’t allow automation of their jobs.

Shipping companies made billions during the pandemic by charging high prices, he said. “Now we want them to pay back. They’re going to pay back,” Butler said.

He said the union will strike for as long as it needs to get a fair deal, and it has leverage over the companies.

[News] China’s First Photonic Chip Pilot Line Launched, Along with Various Pioneering Research Achievements

2024-09-30 Semiconductors editor

The industry holds high expectations for photonic chips, which play a crucial role in data centers, especially in high-bandwidth and energy-efficient data transmission. With the growing demand for efficient data processing driven by the rise of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and IoT devices, the research and development of photonic chips have become increasingly urgent.

China’s First Photonic Chip Pilot Line Launched in Wuxi

On September 25th, the first domestic photonic chip pilot line built by the Wuxi Photonic Chip Research Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University was officially launched. After the pilot line becomes operational, it is expected to reach an annual production capacity of 10,000 wafers. The first PDK will be released in the first quarter of 2025, providing external chip fabrication services.

The photonic chip pilot platform covers an area of 17,000 square meters, integrating research, production, and services. It is equipped with more than 100 top-tier international CMOS process machines, supporting a full closed-loop process for lithium niobate photonic chips, from lithography, thin film deposition, etching, wet processing, cutting, measurement, to packaging. The platform also supports other material systems like silicon and silicon nitride.

Jinan Achieves World’s First 12-Inch Lithium Niobate Crystal

in May of this year, Shandong Hengyuan Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. in Jinan successfully developed a 12-inch (300mm diameter) large-sized optical-grade lithium niobate crystal.

Shandong Hengyuan Semiconductor has been dedicated to the R&D of optoelectronic materials such as lithium niobate and lithium tantalate, as well as piezoelectric materials. Through technological advancements, the company has started mass production of 6-8 inch Z-axis and X-axis optical-grade lithium niobate crystals. Within three years, Hengyuan plans to increase its annual wafer production to 250,000 units.

Chinese Scientists Develop Mass-Produced New “Optical Silicon” Chips

In early May, the research team led by researcher Ou Xin at the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, made a breakthrough in the preparation of lithium tantalate heterogeneously integrated wafers and high-performance photonic chips. They successfully developed a new type of “optical silicon” chip that can be mass-produced. The research results were published in Nature on May 8th.

Tsinghua University Team Releases AI Photonic Chip

In August, Tsinghua University announced that the research group led by Professor Fang Lu from the Department of Electronic Engineering and the team led by Academician Dai Qionghai from the Department of Automation pioneered a fully forward intelligent optical computing training architecture. They developed the “Taiji-II” optical training chip, enabling efficient and precise training of large-scale neural networks in optical computing systems. This research, titled “All-Forward Training of Optical Neural Networks,” was published in Nature.

The previously released Taiji-I, in April, achieved 879 T MACS/mm²area efficiency and 160 TOPS/W energy efficiency, marking the first time optical computing was applied to complex AI tasks such as natural scene recognition with thousands of categories and cross-modal content generation.

Chinese Team Successfully Develops Fully Programmable Topological Photonic Chip

In late May, the “Extreme Optics Innovation Research Team” from Peking University’s School of Physics, in collaboration with Researcher Yang Yan from the Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, proposed and realized a fully programmable topological photonic chip based on large-scale integrated optics.

The chip built on a reconfigurable integrated optical micro-ring array, integrates 2,712 components in an area of just 11mm x 7mm. It successfully achieved the world’s first fully programmable optical artificial atomic lattice. The researchers also experimentally validated multiple topological phenomena on a single-chip platform, including dynamic topological phase transitions, multi-lattice topological insulators, statistical topological robustness, and Anderson topological insulators.

Ukraine's Army Is In Bad Shape, Over Half Of Recruits Survive Just For A Few Days

by Tyler Durden Tuesday, Oct 01, 2024 - 09:00 AM

Authored by Liz Heflin via Remix News,

The Ukrainian army is suffering from a steady decline in the capabilities of its front-line units, according to Polish news outlet Do Rzeczy, citing a report in the London Financial Times that between 50 and 70 percent of recruits survive only a few days on the frontlines.

Training standards were reportedly so poor that not all of them knew how to hold a weapon. Furthermore, the depletion of the number of men considered fit to fight means that the average age of recruits now stands at 45.

The report follows a statement by Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, who was appointed in early February. Syrsky said that recruits were consistently lacking the necessary training for frontline operations. Lamenting the sheer technological superiority of Russian forces, he said that personnel had received just two months of training, although other sources indicated that the training time was much shorter.

Meanwhile, Military Watch Magazine has said that poor training standards in frontline units have repeatedly emerged over the past two years, and back in mid-2023, the Wall Street Journal even reported that the Ukrainian army was recruiting poor men from the countryside, equipping them with Soviet-era rifles and uniforms, and then sending them to the front after just two nights at a base.

When some of the conscripts tried to sign a waiver, citing a lack of proper training, a Ukrainian sergeant replied, “Bakhmut will teach you,” referring to the frontline city that was then the epicenter of the fighting.

One of the conscripts recalled protesting that he had never held a gun before. The Wall Street Journal had written that such poorly trained and equipped men were necessary, as Western-trained and better-equipped brigades would be needed for the upcoming offensive.

Since the beginning of June 2023, multiple offensives have resulted in extensive losses and further increased Kyiv’s reliance on conscripts.

In the meantime, Ukraine has even reportedly resorted to recruiting convicts.

A senior conscript officer in Ukraine’s Poltava region, Lieutenant Colonel Vitaly Berezhnyon, revealed on September 15, 2023, that the units had suffered huge losses.

“Out of 100 people who joined the units last fall, 10-20 remained, the rest are dead, wounded or disabled,” he said.

This indicates a loss rate of 80-90 percent in conscript units over the past year. Former Ukrainian ambassador to the U.K. and former Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko in April pointed to catastrophic personnel losses.

“From the beginning, our policy was not to discuss losses. When the war is over, we will admit it. I think it will be a terrible number,” he noted.

40,000 fighters gather in Golan Heights from Iraq, Yemen, and Syria to form coalition against Israel

Around 40,000 fighters from Iraq, Yemen, and Syria have reportedly arrived in the Golan Heights, preparing to confront Israel, according to recent reports.

The Israeli army is monitoring the situation closely, with Al Jazeera citing Haaretz’s report that these forces are awaiting orders from Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.

Israeli security officials voiced concern about the growing threat, noting that while these fighters may not be elite, their presence is significant.

A senior Israeli official emphasized that Israel will take steps in Syria to send a clear message to President Bashar al-Assad that these forces are unacceptable.

The situation comes amidst escalating violence, with ongoing rocket and aerial exchanges between Hezbollah and the Israeli army for three consecutive days.

Tensions were further fueled by the detonation of explosives in southern Beirut, an incident attributed to Israeli forces.

WW3 panic as China tests mega-missile which could strike US with ten nuclear warheads

It is thought that the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was the DF-41, a deadly nuclear missile which could strike the US mainland

By Oli Smith, News Reporter

10:55, Wed, Sep 25, 2024 | UPDATED: 11:28, Wed, Sep 25, 2024

China successfully carried out a rare launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean, in a chilling warning shot to the West.

The missile, likely to be the Dongfeng-41 or DF-41, is China's longest-range missile, capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 25. The DF-41 is China’s most up-to-date ICBM and can hit a target 12,000 kilometres away - while carrying up to ten nuclear warheads.

This comes amid mounting concerns about China's unprecedented nuclear build-up among security officials in the US and Europe

The Chinese Defence Ministry confirmed the launch, saying it was fired from a silo in Hainan and "fell into expected sea areas" in the waters near the French Polynesian islands in the South Pacific.

The ICBM launch, carrying a dummy warhead, was part of a "routine training plan", according to the Chinese government. A spokesperson for the Defence Ministry said the test launch was not directed at any country or target, and that Beijing had "informed the countries concerned in advance".

The DF-41 mega-missile was first publicly displayed in October 2019 during China's 70th Anniversary National Day military parade.

The suggestion that the launch was "routine" has surprised analysts. It is rare for China to fire long-range missiles into the sea as it typically tests them unannounced in isolated areas including the deserts of Inner Mongolia. In fact, it is the first time Beijing has launched a test missile into international waters since 1980.

Drew Thompson, a former US defence official, said: "Timing is everything. This launch is a powerful signal intended to intimidate everyone."

The senior fellow at the Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) in Singapore believes the timing was "more strategic than tactical".

Mr Thompson added: "[China's] statement claims the launch does not target any country, but there are high levels of tension between China and Japan, Philippines, and of course perpetual tension with Taiwan.

"The launch is a powerful signal intended to intimidate everyone. It’s a signal that China has capabilities beyond what it has already brought to bear. It’s demonstrating that it has acted with a degree of restraint and that there are limits to its forbearance and its tolerance.”

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Force, which oversees the country’s conventional and nuclear missiles, has been tasked with modernising China’s nuclear forces.

China is expanding its nuclear arsenal "faster than any other country" and could have as many intercontinental ballistic missiles as the US or Russia by the end of the decade, according to a report in June by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

In a report published last year, the Pentagon estimated that China has more than 500 operational nuclear warheads in its arsenal, of which approximately 350 are ICBMs.

The report also projected that China will reach over 1,000 warheads by 2030, and revealed that China's military is constructing hundreds of silos for land-based ICBMs.

That compares to 1,770 and 1,710 operational warheads deployed by the US and Russia, respectively.

US deploying ‘small number’ of new troops to Middle East, as Israel-Lebanon conflict heats up

“Out of an abundance of caution, we are sending a small number of additional U.S. military personnel forward to augment our forces that are already in the region,” the Pentagon said.

By Andrew Bernard | Sep 24, 2024 at 8:02 am | Topics: America, Hezbollah

The United States is deploying additional troops to the Middle East amid heightened tensions in the region, the Pentagon announced on Monday.

Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, would not provide any details to the Associated Press about how many additional forces Washington would send or what their mission would be, the wire reported.

“In light of increased tension in the Middle East and out of an abundance of caution, we are sending a small number of additional U.S. military personnel forward to augment our forces that are already in the region,” Ryder told the AP. “For operational security reasons, I’m not going to comment on or provide specifics.”

The United States currently has some 40,000 troops in the region, according to the Pentagon. On Monday, the aircraft carrier USS Truman, two destroyers and a cruiser departed from Norfolk, Va., towards the Mediterranean for a scheduled deployment.

The new troop increase is the latest indication that the United States is concerned about a military escalation in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Israel and Lebanon.

On Monday, the Israel Defense Forces struck more than 1,000 targets across Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah from firing rockets across the border.

The U.S. State Department updated its travel advice for Lebanon on Saturday to urge U.S. citizens to depart the country while commercial flights remain available. The United States has advised Americans to not travel to Lebanon since July.

In 2022, the State Department estimated that some 86,000 Americans live in Lebanon.

Israel Warns Civilians to Evacuate as Airstrikes Pound Hezbollah in Lebanon

By John Hayward 23 Sep 2024

Israeli warplanes targeted more than 300 Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon on Monday and Israel warned civilians to evacuate the area as more intense strikes are on the way.

Lebanese officials said at least 182 people were killed and over 700 injured in the strikes, including “children, women, and paramedics.”

The IDF said Hezbollah fired at least 150 rockets, missiles, and other projectiles at Israeli territory on Saturday and Sunday. Most of the attacks were launched from inside Lebanon and some of them reached further into Israel than previous Hezbollah attacks.

“This morning, the IDF launched extensive, proactive airstrikes, based on precise intelligence, aimed at degrading the capabilities and infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon. This is infrastructure that Hezbollah has built over many years,” Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a statement on Monday.

Hagari said the campaign was focused on eliminating Hezbollah artillery hidden inside civilian structures, which Hezbollah uses to launch indiscriminate barrages against Israeli civilian targets.

“The scenes that can be seen now in southern Lebanon show Hezbollah’s weapons exploding inside homes. Every house that we strike contains weapons – rockets, missiles, UAVs that are intended to kill Israeli civilians,” he said.

“We are preparing to strike terrorist targets in the Beqaa Valley region soon. Hezbollah stores strategic weapons in civilian buildings, knowingly using the population as human shields and endangering them,” he said.

Hagari warned Lebanese residents of the Beqaa Valley to “move away immediately” from “houses where rockets and weapons are stored.”

“You can see the operations we are currently conducting in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah intends to launch these weapons toward Israel, and we will not allow it! Stay away for your own protection,” he warned.

“Hassan Nasrallah is lying to you and putting you in danger,” Hagari said, referring to the leader of Hezbollah. “Listen to the warnings and messages that will be issued by the IDF for your safety and the safety of your families.”

Israeli military officials said Hagari’s warning for civilians to clear the area around Hezbollah’s hidden weapons was the first such warning the IDF has ever issued for Lebanon.

Hagari also promised the citizens of Israel the IDF “will continue to do everything to protect you,” a pledge echoed by other Israeli officials who noted that Hezbollah had displaced tens of thousands of Israeli civilians from their homes by deliberately attacking civilian targets, with very little condemnation from the international community.

“We have to bring our citizens back to their homes. It is clearly a very dangerous situation and clearly has a potential of escalating dramatically,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Sunday, explaining why the intense campaign to eliminate Hezbollah’s terror weapons was necessary.

Nasrallah dared the Israelis to launch a ground invasion in a fiery speech on Thursday, calling it a “historic opportunity” for Hezbollah to defeat the IDF. Israeli warplanes conducted window-shaking flybys of Beirut during Nasrallah’s speech to prove that the Hezbollah leader was not addressing Lebanon live as he claimed, but rather pre-recorded his remarks from deep in hiding.

Israeli military officials said on Monday there are no “immediate plans” for a ground operation, but airstrikes would continue to degrade Hezbollah’s ability to attack targets in Israel.

Lebanese officials on Monday ordered hospitals to cancel all procedures except emergency surgery so they could treat injuries from the Israeli airstrikes. Schools in southern Beirut and eastern Lebanon were shut down and evacuated.

The Israeli operation followed up on the astounding pager and radio bombings last week, which killed and disabled hundreds of Hezbollah leaders and fighters. When top Hezbollah members gathered in a Beirut suburb on Friday for a planning session in person, the IDF targeted the meeting with a precision airstrike, wiping out much of Hezbollah’s senior military leadership.

Israeli President Herzog said on Monday that “Israel does not seek war,” but has “the right and the duty to defend our people.”

Herzog posted an IDF video showing how Hezbollah stores “thousands and thousands of long-range rockets” in “houses, living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.”

“Would you accept this in your or your neighbor’s home? What nation would accept its citizens living under such a threat from its neighbors?” he asked.

“For those who still don’t understand, I want to clarify Israel’s policy – we don’t wait for a threat, we get ahead of it. Anywhere, on any front, at any time. We eliminate senior figures, we eliminate terrorists, we eliminate missiles – and we’re not stopping,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Israeli public on Monday.

“I promised we would change the security balance, the balance of power in the north – and that is precisely what we are doing. We are destroying thousands of missiles and rockets aimed at Israeli cities and citizens,” Netanyahu said.

Residents of southern Lebanon, and some parts of Beirut, reported receiving text messages and phone calls from a Lebanese number on Monday morning, warning them to move away from Hezbollah positions. Some also reported hearing radio broadcasts warning them to evacuate.

Lebanese telecom minister Johnny Corm insisted Israel did not breach Lebanon’s networks to deliver these messages. He insisted the Lebanese system is configured to reject all phone calls and messages from Israel.

Lebanese information minister Ziad Makary denounced the evacuation warning messages as a form of “psychological warfare” conducted by Israel. Makary advised Lebanese civilians to ignore the messages.

Zelensky the proxy stooge comes to America with singular mission: Draw U.S. more directly into his protracted war with nuclear-armed Russia

Zelensky will seek more weapons and a longer leash so he can recklessly use US missiles to strike Russian cities and infrastructure. A recipe for World War III? You bet!

Leo Hohmann Sep 23, 2024

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky began his visit to the United States in Pennsylvania with a stop Sunday at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, where he thanked American workers producing the 155mm artillery shells Ukraine uses to kill Russians in a nasty border war with its fellow slavic neighbor to the east.

I wonder how those American workers feel making weapons for the leader of perhaps the most corrupt country in the world, Ukraine, which is being used by a corrupt Washington Unitparty to poke the Russian bear in the eyeball. Maybe they’re not aware of the geopolitical ramifications of their work. I doubt many are or they would be looking for other, less provocative jobs.

But Zelensky is a master at spinning lies and clever propaganda, playing Westerners who fall easy prey because of their lack of knowledge about the history of the Ukraine-Russia dispute. Even the BBC, in a March 2022 article, acknowledged Zelensky’s speeches appear crafted to “shame” Western parliaments into giving him more money and weapons.

“It is in places like this where you can truly feel that the democratic world can prevail,” Zelensky posted on X, praising the Pennsylvania factory, which has boosted production to try to meet Ukraine’s endless needs for more shells. “Thanks to people like these — in Ukraine, in America, and in all partner countries — who work tirelessly to ensure that life is protected.”

That statement is utterly laughable as life is being destroyed every day in Ukraine and in Russia because of a senseless and bloody war that no politicians seem to want to end.

Zelensky the dictator wants you to think he represents freedom and democracy. Nothing could be further from the truth. He has remained in office well past his term’s experation date and refuses to hold elections. He’s shut down all media that criticizes the war, and he’s banned all opposition political parties.

In perhaps the most vicious action, Zelensky’s government has persecuted the Ukrainian Orthodox Christian Church, seizing its churches and monasteries and throwing many of its priests in jail.

With all the pleasantries aside, the dictator Zelensky’s primary mission in the U.S. begins tomorrow when he addresses the United Nations General Assembly’s annual gathering in New York City and shares his so-called “Plan for Victory” while saving the granular details for his meeting with Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday.

“The U.S. president will be the first to see it in full,” Zelensky said in a video address before leaving Kiev. “Of course, I will also present the Plan for Victory to all leaders of partner countries who, like President Biden, are world leaders and can become leaders of peace by helping us.”

Note the Orwellian language. “Leaders of peace” while they push forward with endless war, making no attempt to end it.

“The victory plan is a plan that swiftly strengthens Ukraine. A strong Ukraine will force Putin to the negotiating table. I’m convinced of that,” Zelensky told the New Yorker in an interview last week while invoking more Orwellian doublespeak.

This war has done anything but “strengthen Ukraine.” It has dealt the Ukrainian people a crushing blow.

Zelensky said more Western support will lead to a diplomatic end to the war. Does he honestly believe that?

Force Putin to the negotiating table? This is a big lie that most of the ignorant American masses will swallow whole.

Truth is, Putin was already sitting and waiting for a partner at the negotiating table one month after the war started, in April 2022. He reportedly was willing to pull back his troops under two very reasonable conditions. Ukraine needed to guarantee it would not join the NATO military alliance and stop shelling Ukrainian towns and villages that are populated with mostly Russian-speaking Ukrainians. In other words, stop threatening Russia with Ukrainian NATO courtship and stop using your military in an aggressive manner.

The corporate media won’t tell you that. They want you to think Putin is the aggressor in charge of an expansionist Russia. Putin, they say, wants all of Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic states and more. He wants to re-assemble the old Soviet empire.

They have no evidence of that. NATO, on the other hand, keeps pushing eastward in obvious expansion mode for well over 20 years now. That’s the dirty little secret no Westerner is supposed to know about, and if they do, they mustn’t share it in public for fear of being branded a Russian asset. We’re not allowed to look at facts, and we’re certainly not allowed to have an opinion that doesn’t match up with the Washington warmongering Uniparty.

We are not pro Putin. We are anti-war and pro peace. But our puppet politicians are way out of touch with their constituents. They don’t represent us. They work for their friends in the military-industrial complex.

Zelensky is delusional if he thinks there are any plans for a “diplomatic end of the war,” as he claimed in his interview with the New Yorker.

At this point, even if Russia pulled all of its troops out of Ukraine, I doubt that Washington and London would allow Zelensky to stop fighting Russia. They would still be encouraged to shoot long-range missiles into Russian territory.

That’s because this war isn’t about Ukraine or its bizarre form of freedom and democracy. It’s about attacking Russia and using Ukriane to destabilize Russia to the point of delivering a regime change to Ukraine’s masters in Washington and London.

The Examiner notes that “it’s been five days since Ukraine used a wave of homegrown drones to destroy a complex of weapons storage warehouses near Toropets, about 300 miles inside Russia, and Western intelligence agencies are assessing the damage from the strike and two others that followed, which will have a noticeable impact on Russian military operations.”

Those drones could not have reached their targets inside Russia without NATO intelligence and targeting expertise.

If forcing Putin’s hand to lash out and defend his sovereign territory is not a “noticeable impact,” I don’t know what will be. That’s exactly what Washington and London are hoping to provoke by launching drones and missiles deep into Russia. And when the inevitable blowback occurs, they will again have all their lapdogs in the corporate media shout it from the housetops that Putin is an aggressive imperialistic leader akin to Adolf Hitler in 1938. And the only way to “rescue Europe” is for American troops to pour into Ukraine and finish the job the Ukrainians started. From that point on, we are living on borrowed time before missiles start slamming into U.S. cities.

I believe the strategy is to use Zelensky to slowly bleed Russia while using this time to gradually build up Western forces and the Western industrial output that will be needed for World War III. I don’t know that it will succeed, but that’s the likely plan. Western leaders such as Lindsey Graham and others have all but admitted it. They are so insane that they apparently don’t consider the fact that if Russia gets too weak to defend itself conventionally, it will turn to its nuclear arsenal. Putin and his regime spokespersons have repeatedly and clearly warned they will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons if they feel an existential threat from the West.

But our leaders in Washington and London are so blinded by bloodlust that they refuse to take Putin at his word. He will defend his soverign terrritory. That’s why he invaded Ukriane to begin with, because Ukraine was on a path to join NATO and was becoming a vassal state of Western imperialist leaders, who were building a proxy military force on Russia’s border. It would be like Mexico receiving medium and long-range missiles from Russia and getting training from Russian officers in how to use them aggressively against the U.S. If the U.S. attacked Mexico under such circumstances, would that make the U.S. the aggressor? I think not.

Mark it down. The missiles will be incoming in a matter of months unless Trump or someone steps in who is willing to sit down and negotiate with Putin.

Could this be why they are so intent on stopping Trump? I’m not a big Trump fan. I think he’s pompous and often says things that are better left unsaid. I think he exercises really bad judgment in who he allows into his inner circle, with neocon warmongers like Mike Pence, Lindsey Graham, Nikki Haley and John Bolton among them. But he does claim to want to end the war in Ukraine. That makes him a marked man.

Indiana judge rules prison must provide transgender surgery for inmate who killed baby

A federal judge has ruled that it would be unconstitutional for an Indiana prison to deny a transgender inmate sex reassignment surgery following the inmate’s lawsuit against the facility.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Indiana Department of Corrections last year on behalf of a transgender inmate, Jonathan C. Richardson, also known as Autumn Cordellionè, who was convicted of strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in 2001.

Indiana law, however, prohibits the Department of Corrections from using taxpayer dollars to fund sex reassignment surgeries for inmates. However, the ACLU argues in the lawsuit, filed on Aug. 28, 2023, that the law is a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishment.”

The surgery for Richardson, who is serving out a 55-year prison sentence for reckless homicide, “is a medical necessity,” according to the ACLU lawsuit.

Judge Richard Young agreed with the ACLU’s claims and ruled in favor of Cordellioné last week.

“Specifically, Ms. Cordellioné has shown that her gender dysphoria is a serious medical need, and that, despite other treatments Defendant has provided her to treat her gender dysphoria, she requires gender-affirming surgery to prevent a risk of serious bodily and psychological harm,” the ruling states.

The DOC must now take “all reasonable actions” to ensure Cordellioné undergoes sex surgery, according to the order.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, said in a post on X that his office is still reviewing the judge’s decision, “but you can undoubtedly expect our office to appeal this decision.”

“An Indiana inmate convicted of murder wants our taxpayers to fund their gender-altering surgery! Hoosiers do NOT want thism” Rokita said.

The original ACLU filing says Cordellioné was diagnosed in 2020 with gender dysphoria and prescribed female hormones and testosterone blockers, both of which he has “consistently taken since that time.” Other accommodations provided for the inmate include “panties, make up, and form fitting clothing.”

“Accordingly, at this point gender-affirming surgery is necessary so that her physical identity can be aligned with her gender identity and so her gender dysphoria can be ameliorated,” the lawsuit states.

“She believes that the only remedy for her persistent gender dysphoria, and the serious harm it causes her, is to receive gender-affirming surgery, specifically an orchiectomy and vaginoplasty,” it said.

Japan earthquake sparks chilling tsunami warning after 5.9 mag quake puts people on alert

A 5.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan this morning, sparking a tsunami warning across remote islands south of Tokyo, with waves of up to 50cm observed on coast

By Joseph Wilkes, Astha Saxena, News Reporter

03:01, Tue, Sep 24, 2024 | UPDATED: 07:29, Tue, Sep 24, 2024

A chilling tsunami warning has been issued following a 5.9 magnitude earthquake that shook Japan. A local news outlet via NTV News reported a 20cm high tsunami wave observed at Kozushima Port, while a 50cm tsunami wave was seen in Hachijo-jima, Hachijo Town, Tokyo.

The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory this morning for remote islands south of Tokyo after an earthquake potentially triggered by volcanic activity.

The agency warned of possible tsunami waves up to one metre above tide levels on the coasts of the Izu and Ogasawara island chains.

The US Geological Survey measured the quake's strength at 5.6 magnitude.

Despite predicting small swelling of waves along the southeastern Pacific coasts, the JMA assured there is no danger from it.

The offshore quake occurred approximately 180 kilometres (111 miles) south of Hachijo island, which is about 300 kilometres (186 miles) south of Tokyo, the agency said. Residents on Hachijo island reported not feeling the quake and only hearing the tsunami advisory, as per Japan's NHK public television.

A tsunami advisory was in effect following underwater volcanic activity, according to Tohoku University seismologist Fumihiko Imamura.

After an offshore quake hit with little notice, Imamura warned Tuesday that larger tsunamis could follow and urges vigilance amongst coastal residents.

Television footage showed waves splashing against a wharf on Hachijo island but no major swelling was seen.

Residents on Hachijo said they did not feel the quake and only heard the tsunami advisory, Japan's NHK public television said.

Ryuji Minemoto, a Hachijo resident, told NHK that he was on high ground overlooking the ocean but didn't notice changes in the water. "I can see some ships but they don't seem to be moving violently," he said. Minemoto said he did not feel the earlier quake.

Imamura said Tuesday's tsunami was believed to be related to undersea volcanic activity. He said larger tsunami could arrive much later and urged coastal residents to keep their guards up while the advisory is in place.

The offshore quake was not felt, and no damage or injuries have been reported. He said the tsunami was believed to be related to undersea volcanic activity that might have caused a rise or sinking of parts of the seabed.

Imamura told NHK that such movement, unlike ordinary quakes, may not have caused rattling.

The tremor went largely unfelt and no casualties or damage have been reported so far.

Japan is home to around 21,500 people on the Izu Islands and a further 2,500 on the Ogasawara Islands, areas known for heightened seismic activity. it sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," a line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean, and is one of the world's most earthquake and tsunami-prone countries.

Japanese shipping company Tokai Kisen has cancelled its morning ferry services between Tokyo and Oshima, and between Atami and Oshima due to the tsunami warning issued in Izu Islands.

The Japan Meteorological Agency says slight sea level fluctuations are expected along the coast from Chiba to Daito Islands region of Okinawa.

In the past few minutes we're hearing the tsunami warning for Izu and Ogasawara islands has been lifted.

Small tsunami waves washed ashore on remote Japanese islands Tuesday morning. The tsunami advisory was lifted about three hours after the quake. No damage or injuries were reported.

BULLETIN: SPEAKER OF RUSSIAN DUMA TELLS EUROPE NUCLEAR WAR COMING

Hal Turner World September 20, 2024 Hits: 17417

On Thursday, the European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution calling for allowing Ukraine to attack deep within Russia. In response, the Speaker of Russia's Duma ( one House of their Parliament) made the clearest statement yet about World War 3 and Nuclear war! STUNNING statement . . .

The European Parliament passed a resolution on Sept. 19 calling for EU member states to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western-supplied weapons inside Russia.

The motion was passed with 425 votes in favor, 131 against, and 63 abstentions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously warned of full-scale war if NATO and Europe allow attacks on Russian soil With US missiles, because those missiles must be guided actively by U.S. Satellites, and if U.S. satellites guide those missiles, then the U.S. is, in fact, "at war with Russia."

In response to what the European Parliament voted-on, the Speaker of the Russian Duma, took to the floor of that House in Parliament, and said this:

Speaker of the Russian Duma Vyacheslav Volodin:

"For those who did not understand the first time, today, the European Parliament called on the EU countries to lift restrictions on Kiev's long-range strikes on our country's territory, to increase military support for Ukraine, and to announce a collection of funds from the population of Europe for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

I will repeat again. If something like this happens. Russia will give a tough response using more powerful weapons.

No one should have any illusions about this. The State Duma insists on this.

Questions for the members of the European Parliament:

Did you consult with your voters before making this decision?

Do the citizens of European countries want war to come to their home?

What the European Parliament is calling for leads to a world war using nuclear weapons.

Before making such a decision, it was necessary to remember the lessons of World War II. Then, 27 million Soviet citizens died in the fight against fascism.

It was our country that liberated you and all of Europe. Remember this. Do not forget.

Judging by the statement of the European Parliament, you have apparently forgotten.

The citizens of our country know what war is, it has passed through every family. The victory over Nazism came at a high price.

The USA and England, who call themselves the victors today, lost less than 800,000 people in World War II. Our losses in the Battle of Stalingrad alone were 1,130,000 people.

The only thing the European Parliament should do after such a statement is to dissolve itself.

For your information, the flight time of the Sarmat missile to Strasbourg is 3 minutes 20 seconds."

As most readers already know, the SARMAT is Russia's latest multiple warhead nuclear missile, which can carry fifteen (15) independent warheads of the Avantgard design, which travel at Mach 25 (19,000 MPH) and cannot be intercepted or stopped.

Things with the Russia-Ukraine Conflict continue to grow worse by the day.

Readers are URGED to have emergency food, water, medicine, a generator, fuel for that generator, communication gear (CB or HAM radio) for when COMMS go down, a first-aid kit for small injuries or major war wounds, fire extinguishers, flashlights in each room or for each family member, spare batteries for those lights, a portable radio for news and information - and spare batteries for it, too.

There is very little time left to prepare.

If things continue along the path they are going, nuclear war is very much in ALL our futures.

Iran’s ring of fire around Israel is tightening

The Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Shiite militias in Syria and Iraq, and the terrorist organizations in Gaza, Judea and Samaria – for years Iran has been equipping its allies for this very showdown.

By Aviel Schneider | Sep 16, 2024 at 4:00 pm | Topics: Iran

Despite the successes of Israel’s defense establishment in the so-called “war between wars,” the regime in Tehran has managed to create a threat that endangers every Israeli. Creativity, geographical advantages, and the involved states: this is how Iran’s smuggling machine operates. “Iran’s Ring of Fire” is a term frequently discussed in Israeli over the past few months, both in the media and academic circles. Here’s a summary.

For years, Israel has warned about the “tentacles” of Iranian influence that promote terrorism in the Middle East. The smuggling of weapons to Tehran’s proxy organizations is an open secret, and Israel has repeatedly tried to prevent such deliveries in Syria and Iraq through airstrikes. However, since the present war began on October 7, it has become clear that despite these strikes, Israel is facing rocket and drone attacks from Iraq and Yemen, precision weapons from Lebanon, and Iranian weapons in Gaza as well as in Judea and Samaria.

The creativity of Iran’s smuggling efforts stands out: Tehran seems willing to consider every conceivable option, hoping something will work. “Like everything they do in life, even on a personal level, the Iranians direct their efforts in all possible directions,” says Beni Sabti, a researcher in the Iran Program at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS). “In their nuclear program, they tried every method to obtain the right material. The same applies to terrorism.”

Effective Iranian weapons are now mainly found in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen—but also in Sudan, Jordan, Judea and Samaria, and of course, in the Gaza Strip. The route to Iran’s neighboring countries and from there to Hezbollah is relatively easy: the path leads from Iran through Iraq to Syria, and then into Lebanon, where weapon smuggling faces little resistance. Beni Sabti says: “This route serves Hezbollah, it’s the northern route and the easiest for them. The Assad regime, both the father and now the son, cooperates. Since the civil war, the Syrians are subjugated to the Iranians and Hezbollah. Syria, in effect, no longer exists—it’s an Iranian province.”

Iraq and Syria are key countries for Iran, both in terms of its regional influence and smuggling routes. Pro-Iranian militias operate in both countries, receiving instructions and weapons from Iran. From there, weapons are smuggled into Lebanon, Jordan, and from Jordan into Judea and Samaria. “In Syria itself, Iran has armed all the militias it left behind during the civil war,” says Sabti. “All the armies supposedly built for the Assad regime, like Fatemiyoun and Zainabiyoun, are still in Syria. Iran is escalating its methods. There is not just one army against Israel, but many. There are many paths and many players.”

It is no secret that since the beginning of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Iran has worked to strengthen Assad’s rule and solidify its influence in Syria. Iran has sent senior commanders from the Revolutionary Guards and Shiite militia organizations to Syria, established military bases, and interfered in the decisions and policies of the Assad regime.

Less well known is that Iran is also exerting massive social, educational, cultural, and religious influence in Syria. It introduces Iranian and Shiite materials into schools and kindergartens, establishes Iranian cultural centers, and organizes recruitment campaigns to enlist Syrians into the militias it supports. Iran is also changing the demographic composition of certain areas by relocating Shiite Iranians and their families there.

A report published by MEMRI in early July elaborates on this. In January 2020, Iran and the Syrian regime signed a comprehensive educational agreement that includes Iranian books in the official Syrian curriculum and introduces Persian as a second language in secondary schools. The report notes that Iran operates numerous Shiite kindergartens throughout Syria, where children are taught “the correct principles of Islam.” Iran also has a presence in higher education: five Iranian universities are active in Syria.

“The Iranians are establishing centers across Syria for children aged 8 to 18, giving them uniforms, teaching them Shiite Islam, introducing them to activities related to Shiite sites, and then starting to train them in drills and parades. Later, they are recruited for military training units, and eventually, they become soldiers for Hezbollah or Iran,” says Dr. Yehuda Balanga, a Syria expert at the Middle East Studies Institute of Bar-Ilan University. Iranian cultural centers have also been established in Syria, typically run by senior Revolutionary Guard commanders, offering free Persian courses and activities for children and youth, including trips to Shiite sites throughout the country.

The report mentions that the majority of Syria’s population is Sunni, in contrast to the Alawite Assad family. “In 1973, Lebanese Shiite leader Musa al-Sadr recognized the Alawites as a sect of Shiite Islam, facilitating the Syrian Alawites’ alignment with Shiite forces in Iran. Since the war began in 2011, Bashar al-Assad has viewed the Iranization and Shiitization of Syria as a way to strengthen himself against his predominantly Sunni domestic opponents.”

As part of this Shiitization of Syria, Iran seeks to change the country’s demographics. To this end, Syrian and Iranian agents purchase real estate, especially around Damascus, in the city itself, and in northeastern Syria. Sometimes they offer high prices to persuade owners to sell. In other cases, they use pressure and threats to force owners to sell cheaply. After acquiring the properties, members of Shiite militias and their families, many of whom are not Syrian citizens, are settled there. To obscure this, the Assad regime has sometimes granted Syrian citizenship to foreign militiamen.

The Shiitization of Syria is also evident in the conversion of Sunni mosques into Shiite religious centers, renaming them after Shiite heroes, and exploiting the economic plight of Syrians to convert them to Shiite Islam in exchange for gifts, food, and financial aid. Iranian religious missions are also sent to various regions in Syria to promote Shiite Islam to tribal leaders, knowing that if a leader converts, the rest of the tribe will follow.

“It is a poor population, hit hard by the civil war, that wants to regain a sense of security. When a power like Iran, which helped Assad win the civil war, initiates a process of religious conversion, it’s likely they will eventually be convinced,” says Balanga. “Tehran pays tribal leaders, families, or fighters who convert to Shiism and join the Shiite militias significant sums, ranging from 300 to 800 dollars per fighter.”

The MEMRI report also highlights the obvious: Iran has the ability to interfere in Assad’s regime’s decisions and policies, including in military and security matters. Some Syrian security units are loyal to Iran, allowing it to control them directly through Iranian officers. Iran achieved this by providing extensive military and economic support to the Assad regime.

According to Balanga, it is no coincidence that Iran places such great importance on Syria. Iran’s goal is to use Syria to strengthen its ring of fire around Israel. “Of the 830 foreign bases in Syria today, Iran controls 570. Estimates suggest there are between 60,000 and 100,000 Tehran-loyal coalition forces in Syria today. Iran is surrounding Israel with a ring of fire from Gaza, from Lebanon, and now from another front of tens of thousands of armed Shiites in Syria.”

Prof. Eyal Zisser, former director of the Moshe Dayan Center and now a lecturer at the Middle Eastern History Department at Tel Aviv University, expresses a similar view. “We need to observe the Iranization of Syria because this process could deepen, ultimately making Syria a clearly Shiite state that is not only politically but also ideologically and religiously aligned with Iran,” Zisser says. “If the process deepens, we could face a Syrian enemy that, like Hezbollah, views the fight against us as central to its mission. This differs from the Assad regime’s previous behavior, which has remained neutral and not directly confronted Israel. The Syrian regime cooperates with Iran today out of interest, not ideology.”

While Israel has to some extent succeeded in blocking the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ attempts to establish naval and air bases and missile defense systems in Syria, it has failed to prevent the establishment of Shiite militias in the country. “The most important thing is that we must not allow these militias in Syria to carry out larger operations against Israel that could drag us into an attrition war similar to the one at the Lebanese border. If Assad allows the militias to attack us from the Syrian border, we must act forcefully against both them and him,” Zisser concludes.

Hundreds of Hezbollah pagers explode across Lebanon injuring thousands

USA TODAY Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAY

Updated September 17, 2024 at 7:38 PM

At least eight people were killed and more than 2,700 injured, many of them Hezbollah fighters, when the handheld pagers they use to communicate exploded, Lebanon's health minister said Tuesday.

Firass Abiad said the blasts took place in several suburbs of Beirut, according to Lebanon's National News Agency. He said many of the victims had injuries to their faces, hands and stomachs.

He said one of those killed was an 8-year-old girl.

The direct cause of the explosions, which appeared to take place simultaneously at 3:30 p.m., was not immediately clear, though Hezbollah quickly blamed Israel for what it called its "sinful aggression."

The Shia militant movement said Israel would get "its fair punishment."

A Hezbollah official told the Reuters news agency that the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.

Mojtaba Amani, Iran's ambassador in Lebanon, was also injured in the incident, though not seriously, according to Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency. Hezbollah is materially and financially backed by Iran.

There was no immediate comment from Israel's military.

People gather outside a hospital, as more than 1,000 people, including Hezbollah fighters and medics, were wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded across Lebanon, in Beirut on Sept. 17, 2024.

Spiking West Bank violence: another front to Israel's collection of conflicts

Still, the incident comes just hours after Israel's security Cabinet released a statement vowing to return tens of thousands of displaced residents of Israel's northern areas to their homes. Hezbollah, long Israel's enemy, has repeatedly fired missiles at Israeli territory since Hamas' Oct. 7 attacks, causing many residents to flee south.

A pager is a small electronic device that can be worn or fit in a pocket that beeps or vibrates when someone is trying to contact you. It displays the phone number or sometimes a short message. Pagers can usually only receive information, not transmit it, making their location hard to track.

Small bombs on both pagers and cellphones can be detonated remotely.

Israel has for months warned that it could launch a military operation to drive Hezbollah away from its border.

Orna Mizrachi, a former Israeli national security official, said in a call with reporters that the pager attack could signal that Israel is about to change its war strategy, in which it has been fighting Hamas in Gaza for almost a year, and move its main front to the north to fight Hezbollah.

"I think we are closer than we were before to a full-scale war" with Hezbollah, said Mizrachi, now a senior research fellow at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies.

Still, hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, are not new. They have been clashing and exchanging fire along their shared border since the mid-1980s. They fought a major war in 2006.

Hezbollah says it has upped its attacks on Israel as part of its support for Hamas in Gaza. But they are also connected to a broader regional commitment to oppose and pressure Israel. Lina Khatib, an expert on the Middle East at London think tank Chatham House, noted recently that Hezbollah’s fight with Israel may not ultimately be about helping Palestinians, or even Hamas, but about self-preservation.

"The group could have intervened on a large scale in October before Israel significantly weakened Hamas’ military capability, but it did not," Khatib said. "Hezbollah would only engage in all-out war with Israel if the group felt it was facing an existential threat of its own (which, currently, it does not). It will not sacrifice itself for Palestine."

Rose Kelanic, who runs the Middle East program at Defense Priorities, a Washington think tank, said that if it's confirmed the operation was carried out by Israel, the message is clear: "The Israelis just told Hezbollah that they've got their number, quite literally, by exploding these pagers."

Kelanic said the pagers could have been detonated through purely cyber means by a computer virus or "worm." The Israelis are believed to have done similarly when Iranian nuclear centrifuges were destroyed by making them spin so fast, they broke. Or the pagers could have been physically sabotaged at some point along the supply chain.

In one instance, closed-circuit surveillance video carried by regional broadcasters showed a person paying at a grocery store as what appeared to be a small handheld device placed next to the cashier exploded.

The New York Times reported that Israel hid explosive material in the Taiwan-made Gold Apollo pagers before they were imported to Lebanon, citing American and other officials briefed on the operation. The material was implanted next to the battery with a switch that could be triggered remotely to detonate.

The Palestinian militant group Hamas, which is waging war with Israel in Gaza, said the pager blasts were an "escalation" that will only lead Israel to "failure and defeat."

We Are On The Verge Of “The Big War” In The Middle East, And Behind The Scenes Someone Is Smiling

September 18, 2024

After what we have witnessed the past few days, there is no turning back. Both sides are making final preparations for all-out war, and soon the Middle East will erupt in flames. Almost a year ago, a lot of people out there didn’t believe me when I explained that the conflict between Israel and Hamas would eventually evolve into “the big war” in the Middle East. But now there is no denying what is happening. We really are on the brink of the unthinkable, and as you will see at the end of this article, behind the scenes someone is very happy because things are going exactly as he had hoped.

If you tried to write a movie script based on the events that have transpired in the Middle East this week, everyone would reject it for being way too unrealistic. On Tuesday, thousands of Hezbollah militants were maimed when their pagers exploded, and on Wednesday it was being reported that thousands of “walkie-talkies, solar panels and fingerprint recognition devices” that belonged to members of Hezbollah also exploded…

Thousands of walkie-talkies, solar panels and fingerprint recognition devices used by Hezbollah fighters have detonated across Lebanon, killing 14 and wounding hundreds of people including mourners at a funeral, witnesses and security sources have reported.

The second wave of carnage comes a day after thousands of exploding pagers used by the group left almost 3,000 people injured and a dozen dead, including civilians and children.

Security sources have now confirmed that hand-held radios were purchased by Hezbollah five months ago, at around the same time as the compromised pagers. Lebanese media has also reported that home solar energy systems have blown up in several areas of Beirut.

We have never seen anything like this before, and we will probably never see anything like this ever again.

On Wednesday, explosions were going off all over Lebanon, and that was especially true in the city of Beirut…

Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV reported explosions in multiple areas of Lebanon, and a Hezbollah official told the Associated Press that walkie-talkies used by the group exploded as part of blasts heard in Beirut.

Ali Hashem, a journalist based in Lebanon, wrote on X: “Another round of blasts in different areas around south Lebanon and Beirut southern suburb. Devices in cars, motorcycles, and people’s hands are exploding.”

It comes after videos from Beirut’s southern suburbs showed people lying on the pavement with wounds on their hands or near their trouser pockets.

Can you imagine the paranoia that members of Hezbollah must be feeling right now?

After everything that has happened, they have got to be wondering what devices will explode next.

I have no idea how any of them can possibly watch the news in peace knowing that the television could be the next thing to go off.

Apparently the walkie-talkies that exploded on Wednesday were originally made by a company in Japan…

A Reuters reporter in the southern suburbs of Beirut said he saw Hezbollah members frantically taking out the batteries of any walkie-talkies on them that had not exploded, tossing the parts in metal barrels around them.

Images of the exploded walkie-talkies examined by Reuters showed an inside panel labeled “ICOM” and “Made in Japan.” According to its website, ICOM is a Japan-based radio communications and telephone company.

I really wish that both sides would decide that enough is enough and would sit down at the negotiating table.

But that isn’t going to happen.

After thousands of pagers exploded on Tuesday, Hezbollah responded by launching rockets into Israel…

Hezbollah has launched its first rocket attack on targets inside Israel after pager blasts left almost 3,000 wounded and 12 dead in Lebanon and Syria, with the militant group vowing retaliation.

Iran, which backs the group, has condemned Israel as being responsible for the blasts, which it labelled ‘mass murder’ and amount to the biggest security breach in Hezbollah’s history.

And Israel is “pivoting its efforts toward the northern border” as it prepares for a final showdown with Hezbollah…

Israeli political and defense officials ramped up their rhetoric on Wednesday indicating the IDF would be pivoting its efforts toward the northern border in a “new phase” of the war, amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah following widespread attacks on Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon attributed to Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, IDF chief Herzi Halevi and other officials all issued statements Wednesday evening which appeared to suggest a full-on war with Hezbollah was brewing, hours after a wave of explosions of walkie-talkies and other communications devices used by Hezbollah members across Lebanon caused widespread casualties, echoing a similar attack a day earlier that targeted Hezbollah-issued pagers.

But I don’t expect Israel to go into southern Lebanon quite yet.

As I discussed the other day, I think that Israel will wait until after Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the UN General Assembly at the end of this month.

Speaking of the UN General Assembly, they just passed a resolution that very strongly condemns Israel…

On Wednesday, the United Nations General Assembly approved a Palestinian resolution urging sanctions and an arms embargo against Israel. The proposal also included a demand from the Palestinian Authority for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza within a year. The resolution passed with 124 countries in favor, 14 against, and 43 abstentions. It’s important to note that General Assembly resolutions are non-binding and will not directly lead to actions or sanctions against Israel.

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, condemned the vote, saying, “This is a shameful decision that backs the Palestinian Authority’s diplomatic terrorism. Instead of marking the anniversary of the October 7 massacre by condemning Hamas and calling for the release of all 101 of the remaining hostages, the General Assembly continues to dance to the music of the Palestinian Authority, which backs the Hamas murderers.”

Everything that is happening is making one particular individual in the Middle East very happy.

For years, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has watched Iran systematically spread Shiite Islam throughout the Middle East.

This has greatly distressed Mohammed bin Salman and other Saudi leaders, because they intend for their brand of Sunni Islam to dominate the globe.

If Israel is able to defeat the Iranians and their allies in this war, that would greatly please the Saudis, because it would fundamentally change the balance of power in their favor.

Of course there will also be a tremendous global outcry for a Palestinian state once this war is over, and that is another major geopolitical goal for the Saudis…

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Wednesday said the kingdom would not recognise Israel without a Palestinian state and strongly condemned the “crimes of the Israeli occupation” against the Palestinian people.

“The kingdom will not stop its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and we affirm that the kingdom will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that,” the crown prince, known as MbS, said.

The Saudis are just going to sit back and watch the Israelis do all the hard work, and then afterwards they are going to get the Palestinian state that they have always wanted.

But ultimately, the unprecedented chaos that is ahead of us will not be good for anyone.

We are entering a time of war, economic trouble, global food shortages and great political turmoil.

Global events are building up to a grand crescendo, and it won’t be too long before things start getting really, really wild.

UPDATED 6:40 PM EDT -- Israeli War Cabinet Grants Permission for War

Hal Turner World September 18, 2024 Hits: 40157

The Israeli Security Cabinet has given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant the green light to act against Hezbollah, even if it leads to an all-out war.

2:11 PM EDT 18 Sept 2024

Developing . . .

Russian Foreign Ministry: 'The attack on communications devices in Lebanon is a comprehensive act of war and aims to provoke a major war in the region'

UPDATE 6:40 PM EDT --

I have spent the past few hours speaking to my former colleagues in the Intelligence Community (IC) from around the world. Several I personally worked with during my years working with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, where, as regular readers know, I handled national security intelligence, terrorism, and foreign counter-intelligence.

To a man, each and every former colleague in the IC told me they believe Israel is in for a surprise when they enter Lebanon.

They went on to explain that, regardless of communications being down, every Lebanese village in the South has hundreds of local garrison units and independently functioning cells for Hezbollah.

One colleague in particular, with whom I had dealings when I traveled for the FBI to Brazil in January, 2005, and who provided me with a USB memory stick to give to a guy in Curitiba, Brazil back in 2005 prior to the start of the Israel-Hezbollah war in '06, a war in which the US helped Hezbollah - yes, you read that correctly -- told me: "If Israel couldn't win in 2006, they certainly cannot win in 2024, but the war will be more destructive than before. Both for Israel and Lebanon."

Of all the information given to me this afternoon, the most relevant was this from one former IC colleague. He told me "People need to understand that you cannot defeat an organization like Hezbollah, which is interwoven in the civilian population of the country. They have schools, hospitals, bakeries, factories, etc. and they will simply recruit new fighters when need arises."

It appears we will all get to see if his assessment is correct, very soon.

Israel is moving many troops, and much heavy armor toward the Lebanon Border tonight - as you read this.

Moreover, the Lebanese Foreign Minister, in an unprecedented statement to the Lebanese state, said today:

"No one can ask Hezbollah to calm down after the attack that occurred, Hezbollah's response to the attack is necessary."

With this statement the Lebanese government is now openly giving Hezbollah free play to respond, instead of asking it to calm tensions.

This is unprecedented.

With the backing of the Lebanese government, Hezbollah will be emboldened to act much harder than before, when they tried to appease the government to at least some extent.

STILL MORE:

Iran's supreme leader said publicly today: We stand with Hezbollah against Israel. There is no other option for us .

Meanwhile, in Lebanon at this hour (6:15 PM EDT) a wave of Israeli Airstrikes moments ago against Southern Lebanon, with Strikes reported against the Towns of Mays al-Jabal, Blida, Aitaroun, Khiyam, Sheheen, and Taybeh.

9 killed in fresh wave of Hezbollah device detonations

After a dozen were killed and hundreds wounded as Hezbollah pagers exploded, 2-way radios in the terrorist group's possession also blew up

i24NEWS

At least nine people were killed and 300 more were wounded in a fresh wave of wireless devices exploding in Lebanon on Wednesday, according to the country's health ministry.

This comes just over 24 hours after thousands were hurt and a dozen people were killed as Hezbollah pagers blew up, with Lebanon blaming Israel.

Explosions were heard on Wednesday in Beirut, with ambulances rushing through the streets to bring the wounded to already-overloaded hospitals. The toll of dead and wounded remains to be seen.

Reports said that the two-way radios were purchased five months ago, along with the pagers that exploded.

Scientists warn of impending eruption after spotting bulging around 'Mountain of God' volcano capable of spewing lava 10 miles away

READ MORE: Moment Iceland was rocked by another huge volcanic eruption

By Nikki Main Science Reporter For Dailymail.Com

Published: 12:13 EDT, 16 September 2024 | Updated: 14:37 EDT, 16 September 2024

Scientists are warning of an impending eruption in Tanzania after discovering the country's 'Mountain of God' volcano is bulging.

The Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano, located in the north, was found to be swelling due to magma flowing beneath the Earth's surface.

The 9,718-foot-tall volcano has been active every 20 to 40 years throughout the 20th century, with its last eruption in 2007 spreading ash more than 10 miles away from the site and forcing thousands of people to evacuate.

There has been a 'rapid uplift' in underground magma volcanic activity in the land surrounding the volcano since March 2022, posing a sign of imminent doom.

'We have been able to detect transient motion in volcanic activity, and this is a precursor for any kind of eruption,' said Ntambila Daud, a graduate student at Virginia Tech.

Ol Doinyo Lengai - meaning 'Mountain of God' in Maasai - is considered to be a sacred site by the Maasai tribe who visit it to pray for cures to illness and infertility and ask for relief from any other misfortunes.

Records of the volcano only go back to the 1880s, but it has erupted nine times since with the largest occurring 17 years ago.

The explosion sent ash thousands of feet into the air and spread lava nearly two miles away from its western flank.

Ol Doinyo Lengai is also the only one in the world to spew carbonite lava, a uniquely black or gray-colored lava that turns stark white when it cools.

This contrasts with other active volcanoes that project red, orange or yellow-colored lava that will turn a deep black color when it's exposed to the air and cools.

The different colors relate to the temperature the lave reaches when it hits the surface, with dark red being measured at 887 degrees Fahrenheit, orange at 1,652 degrees Fahrenheit, and white clocking at 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

The study's co-author and Virginia Tech associate professor D. Sarah Stamps said, 'The approach used in [their research] provided important steps forward in our understanding of the dynamic magma plumbing system of Ol Doinyo Lengai.'

'This research could help Tanzanian authorities have a better idea of what is happening with the volcano,' she added.

The team used numerical modeling to combine the data, suggesting the uplift originated from magma that stemmed from a depth of about 1.4 miles below the volcano's summit.

This signified an impending eruption that could not only pose a threat to people living in the area but also prevent tourism and air traffic in Tanzania, according to the study published in the journal Advancing Earth and Space Sciences.

Before a volcano erupts, magma will typically gather in a shallow reservoir under the land that causes the Earth's surface to lift - like a balloon expanding underground.

This bulging precursor could continue for weeks, months or even years before a volcano can erupt, according to the US Geological Survey.

In July 2007, Ol Doinyo Lengai erupted, sending ash at least 11 miles downwind and spewed lava that traveled .6 miles down the volcano's western flank.

The eruption forced more than 1,500 people to vacate their homes in the Ngaresero, Orbalal and Nayobi villages when earthquake tremors triggered the blast.

According to a report by the Smithsonian Institution, 'villagers are reported to have heard roaring...before the volcano started discharging ash and lava.'

To predict a future eruption, Virginia Tech researchers analyzed satellite data spanning seven years.

The team installed a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) consisting of six satellite-connected sensors at the base of the volcano in 2016.

GNSS systems detect changes in magma reservoirs that can signal a future volcanic blast.

The data revealed there was a 'rapid uplift' in bulging between March and December 2022 and a steady uplift in active magma flooding into the reservoir through August 2023.

The team hopes their findings can help to detect future eruptions early and help people prepare for the next explosion.

Dailymail.com has reached out to the researchers for comment.

'Blinken, Get Lost!,' Says Polish MEP Grzegorz Braun

Grzegorz Braun's fiery remarks highlight growing divisions within Poland over its involvement in the Ukraine conflict. As tensions escalate, Poland finds itself caught between supporting Western allies and safeguarding its security against potential Russian retaliation. Watch an exclusive on India Today Global.

Grzegorz Braun, a Polish member of the European Parliament, recently made a strong statement opposing Poland’s alignment with the United States in the ongoing war in Ukraine. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the U.S. Secretary of State's involvement, stating, "Blinken, go home as soon as possible. Get lost! We don't want you here. We don't want Polish people paying and dying for your wars."

Polish MEP Grzegorz Braun says 'Blinken, get lost!'

" We don't want Polish people paying and dying for your wars."

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was on a visit to Poland.

The remarks followed a high-level meeting between the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Poland's Foreign Minister, which concluded with a joint press conference. The discussions centred around Poland’s efforts to push the U.S. into easing restrictions on the use of Western weapons and missiles by Ukraine in its defence against Russia’s aggression.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski reiterated this stance during the press conference, calling for continued support of Ukraine. “We should continue to deliver advanced air defence systems (to Ukraine) ... and lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons," he declared. Sikorski emphasised that enhancing Ukraine’s military capabilities was essential for the country’s defence and regional security.

However, Sikorski also warned of the potential consequences of such a move, cautioning that it could lead to the direct involvement of NATO countries, including the U.S. and European nations, in the war. "If this decision is taken, it will mean nothing less than the direct involvement of NATO countries, the United States and European countries in the war in Ukraine," he said, adding that this would compel Russia to take "appropriate decisions" in response.

With Poland geographically positioned at the front line of any potential escalation beyond Ukraine, there is growing concern about the ramifications of further involvement in the conflict. Poland is wary of the consequences it may face if the war spreads, as the country would likely bear the brunt of any fallout. This fear is shared by many within Poland who are concerned about the escalating tension between NATO and Russia.

On September 12, 2024, at least three submarines known as Project 885 "Yasen" Class, of the Russian Northern Fleet, armed with Zircon Hypersonic Missiles left, their home base at Severomorsk and headed toward the Atlantic Ocean.

The map below shows the location of the Severomorsk Submarine Base:

This was the same day that British Prime Minister Kier Starmer departed the UK for a meeting with Joe Biden in Washington, DC, to discuss granting permission to Ukraine, to attack Russia with west-supplied, long-range missiles.

According to the authoritative military expert Mikhail Khodarnock, these submarines left their home port and headed to the Atlantic Ocean for a reason, especially considering the fact this happened at the very moment the West began to declare it would allow Ukraine to use western-supplied , long-range, weapons against military installations inside Russia.

Khodarnock expressed confidence that these nuclear submarines are already off the coasts of Britain - waiting for the order to attack.

According to him, if British "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles fly toward Russia, these submarines will destroy the facilities of the British Division of the pan European Missile Systems company, MBDA." Specifically, the company facilities in Stevanage, Bristol, and Bolton, UK.

Citing his own sources in the Russian Defense Ministry, Khodarenock also confirmed the Russians have a clear plan to deter NATO from retaliatory actions.

According to him, immediately after the destruction of facilities of the MDBA Company, inside the United Kingdom, Russia will launch a DEMONSTRATION NUCLEAR STRIKE on one of the areas of the Atlantic Ocean or the North Sea, near the coast of Britain.

Khodarenock expressed confidence that only after this, will British Authorities finally understand it is time for them to stop escalating the situation over Ukraine, since the next time, a nuclear strike can already be inflicted on London, Brussels (Belgium - NATO HQ) and Washington, DC.

In related news, this morning, September 16, 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an INCREASE in the size of the Russian Army by 180,000 new troops, to a size of 1.5 Million.

Americans Can't Hide From Nuclear War, Moscow Warns As West Mulls Escalation

The Kremlin has issued yet more warnings following reports that the Biden administration could soon greenlight long-range attacks by Kiev forces on Russian territory using US-supplied arms.

Both the UK and Canada are on board, we reported earlier, and British Prime Minister Ken Starmer is visiting Washington where he's directly lobbying Biden to jump on board and grant Zelensky's urgent request to lift all restrictions on Western weaponry.

However, The New York Times suggests that saner minds are prevailing at this point. "President Biden’s deliberations with Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain about whether to allow Ukraine to attack Russia with long-range Western weapons were fresh evidence that the president remains deeply fearful of setting off a dangerous, wider conflict," the publication writes.

Let's hope this is the case, given this is arguably the most dangerous moment and decision-point of the war to date. Pentagon leadership has recently stressed that granting the permission for long-range strikes will do little strategically to change the battlefield, where Russian momentum has continually gained in eastern Ukraine.

Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov on Friday added to prior Kremlin warnings, telling Rossiya 24 channel that he fears American leadership and the people are under "illusion".

He said they seem to think that "if there is a conflict, it will not spread to the territory of the United States of America."

Antonov continued by stressing that Americans can't hide from nuclear war if this unthinkable happens. "I am constantly trying to convey to them one thesis that the Americans will not be able to sit it out behind the waters of this ocean. This war will affect everyone, so we constantly say – do not play with this rhetoric," Antonov stated according to state media translation.

As for UK PM Starmer's visit to Washington, The Wall Street Journal had earlier previewed that "While the final decision on Storm Shadow will be made by the U.K. government, British officials will ask for the Biden administration to weigh in because some components of the missiles are made in the U.S."

But based on NSC spokesman John Kirby's words as of Friday afternoon, Washington's policy has not changed and no permission has yet been given to Ukraine.

Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov:

"We have said a hundred times that there can be no nuclear war between nuclear states, especially between the United States and Russia. And there will be no winners. But there is some kind of illusion here that if there is a… pic.twitter.com/fmeC6rCQPH

So far, Ukraine forces have pummeled sights across Russia with drones, but unleashing missiles in the area of Moscow oblast for example would take the war to a whole new level.

President Putin has warned that Russia would make no distinction between Ukraine forces and their NATO suppliers at that point. It won't matter which pulled the trigger.

“Donald Trump is looking increasingly likely to be the winner of the presidential race. I have long held that the globalists will wrap up an economic collapse or a world war and throw it in Trump’s lap.” — Brandon Smith

This time, the shooter lives to do some ‘splainin’. Do you wonder if he might get around to ‘splainin’ his role with the shady non-governmental orgs (NGOs) supported by the CIA who enabled his travels to Ukraine and his efforts there recruiting global mutts to fight for the Nazi-ish Azov Battalion? Perhaps he might rat-out actual government officials who assisted him in his colorful misadventures? As Ed Snowden remarked on “X”, wannabe Trump assassin Ryan Routh has “something of an Oswald vibe” — meaning, well-groomed by the intel boys, to be used as required.

Perhaps we’ll find out — if nothing fatal happens to befall Mr. Routh while in custody — how exactly he learned Mr. Trump would be on the links that afternoon? The candidate’s round of golf that day was supposedly a snap decision known only amongst his innermost circle. Or how did Mr. Routh figure out the most advantageous fairway to lay at for a clear shot? The FBI is on the case, you may be reassured to know.

Things political are speeding up with the autumnal quickening. The blob is truly and deeply a’fright. So many blobsters will be liable to pay for their multitudinous crimes against the people of this country if Mr. Trump squeaks back into power that such a future is unthinkable to them. And yet, nothing has worked to deactivate this. . . this golden golem stalking the land. Nothing to show for the immense catalog of lawfare cases concocted to drain his wealth and stuff him into a prison cell — and astounding how amateurish they all were! Engoron and Merchan, two boobies hatched out of Judicial Error Central. Fani Willis, a walking-talking banana peel! Merrick Garland, saving democracy one abuse of power at a time!

The Butler, PA, head-shot op came awfully close to eliminating their, uh, problem, but no cigar. The Palm Beach golf course ambush had a Peter Sellers vibe, wouldn’t you agree? With the rifle muzzle poking through the shrubbery behind a fence. What next? A pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and cyanide? Maybe try to drop an anvil on Mr. Trump’s head from a passing airplane? (Beep-beep. . . woosh!)

Somebody do something!!! The blob is shrieking to its minions from the sub-basement bunkers at Langley to the salons of Georgetown, to the US Embassy in Ukraine. Well, there’s always World War Three! And it looks like just such a romp is about to be instigated. You may have seen the photo last week of “Joe Biden” meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at a big conference table, talking-up a plan to give Ukraine the green light to rain long-range missiles deep into Russia. Meaning, let NATO technicians work the targeting console to send US or British made rockets any old place over there? Like, Red Square? Or the Winter Palace, St. Petersburg? Find an actual Ukrainian to push the launch button.

How is that not a direct attack on Russia by NATO? Well, of course it is exactly that. Russia’s chief executive, Mr. Putin, clarified it for the Globalist Neocon cohort infesting NATO that such an action would bring. . . “consequences.” That is a word the Neocons are no longer acquainted with; it has been such a long time since they’ve crossed its path, like its boon companion, “truth,” also missing-in-action these days. And, to be fair, Mr. Putin did not specify what the consequences might be, not even a simple metaphor like a mushroom cloud, or an ashtray.

How did they even get “Joe Biden” off the beach for that photo op? It is understood by everyone over ten-years-old in America that “JB” is not available for duty anymore. The “out-to-lunch” sign hangs permanently on the doorknob of the Oval Office now. The USA does not have a functioning chief-of-state for the first time in 235 years. After 2021, some sort of unelected, informal Politburu that self-assembled in the White House, like a clot from a Covid Vaccine shot, is running our affairs. Maybe Kamala Harris has a clue who is in that outfit. Or somebody in the news median could ask her (if she ever gets around to holding an actual news conference, where the questions are not previewed or scripted.) Anyone dare ask?

Kamala Harris is strangely missing from the front page of The New York Times this morning. Is that a little ominous? The debate is behind her. There will not be another, apparently. There is nothing about her schedule on the official campaign website. Has she entered fade-away mode? Is it all over now except for the ballot harvesting and the, uh, little adjustments to the Dominion vote-counting machines? Has the drinking started again?

Doom Is the West’s Future

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

As I said would happen, Putin’s refusal to quickly win the conflict with Ukraine has widened the conflict into the beginnings of WW III.

Putin himself now acknowledges this fact. In response to a journalist’s question about the consequences of what appears to be a US-UK decision to permit missile strikes from Ukraine deep into Russia, Putin said:

“The Ukrainian army is not capable of using cutting-edge high-precision long-range systems supplied by the West. They cannot do that. These weapons are impossible to employ without intelligence data from satellites which Ukraine does not have. This can only be done using the European Union’s satellites, or US satellites – in general, NATO satellites. This is the first point.

“The second point – perhaps the most important, the key point even – is that only NATO military personnel can assign flight missions to these missile systems. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this.

“Therefore, it is not a question of allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not. It is about deciding whether NATO countries become directly involved in the military conflict or not.

“If this decision is made, it will mean nothing short of direct involvement – it will mean that NATO countries, the United States, and European countries are parties to the war in Ukraine. This will mean their direct involvement in the conflict, and it will clearly change the very essence, the very nature of the conflict dramatically.

“This will mean that NATO countries – the United States and European countries – are at war with Russia. And if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us.”

My comments are as follows:

Putin has been at war with NATO since the 2007 Munich Security Conference when Putin announced that a multi-polar world was replacing Washington’s uni-polar order. In other words, he threw down the gauntlet to the neoconservatives and their agenda of Washington’s hegemony.

Putin possibly did not comprehend how determined neoconservatives are about hegemony, as a hegemonic agenda undoubtably seems unrealistic to Putin. He did not foresee that his challenge would lead directly to Washington’s overthrow of the Ukrainian government and move to make Ukraine a member of NATO.

Once Washington had Ukraine, Washington began building a large Ukrainian army with which to embarrass Putin by suppressing the Donbas Russians. Putin was like a babe in the woods. For eight years while Washington built a Ukrainian army, Putin put his trust in the Minsk Agreement and remained unprepared for the easily predictable war on the horizon.

When Putin was finally forced to intervene, he did so in a foolish way that guaranteed increasing Western involvement, and by never enforcing any of his red lines now has his back to the wall and cannot ignore NATO/US missile strikes into Russia. Finally, he is forced to acknowledge the truth: “the United States and European countries are at war with Russia.” If Putin had been realistic instead of lost in liberal delusions, the war that seems ready to break loose could have been avoided.

As the cautious Gilbert Doctorow wrote four days ago, “a Third World War fought at least initially with conventional weapons is now just days, at most weeks away.” And this is just the Ukraine scene. Another major war is brewing in the Middle East. Whether or not war is that close, Doctorow’s point is well taken. War can’t be far off when the US and UK governments are discussing firing missiles at Russia.

As I wrote two or three days ago, “as talk has been forbidden, war is now a certainty.” Unlike during the Cold War, the West no longer has independent foreign policy experts. With very few exceptions, such as Scott Ritter, Mearsheimer, Doctorow, and myself, the Western “foreign policy community” speaks with one voice: “US good, Russia bad.” That’s about it. Those few of us who are independent of think tanks and university faculties funded by the military/security complex and neoconservative foundations are labeled “Russian agents/dupes” and worse. We are gradually being criminalized. Scott Ritter on his way to a conference in Russia was taken off the flight by the Washington Gestapo. His passport was confiscated, and his home was invaded. Currently, charges are being made against Americans accused of cooperating with “Russian disinformation,” by which is meant reporting a fact or expressing an opinion that is inconsistent with the official narratives.

As one thoroughly experienced with the 20th century Cold War, I know that talk between Americans and Russians was the solution, not the problem. When talk is defined as the problem, as Washington defines it today, war is the result.

And that is where we are headed. Even the cautious and understated Doctorow sees in Washington an “insane recklessness” that threatens life on earth. What is the point of it? Ukraine’s fraudulent borders while our own go undefended?

Americans, Europeans, Russians, indeed the entire world need to understand that in the government in Washington there is not one ounce of intelligence or integrity. The American president is senile. The National Security Council is a collection of morons. Not a single one of them has achieved any distinction other than being a mouthpiece for the military/security complex. The military’s officer ranks have been purged to make room for sexual perverts, women, and “racial minorities.” The notion among conservatives that the US military is going to save us is laughable. The military is tamed with fangs pulled and has been forced to accept zero promotions for white Americans until the military has achieved in the officer ranks “equity” for sexual perverts, women and “racial minorities.”

The ruling establishment is determined to install their puppet Kamala in the White House. She has always prostituted herself to move ahead, and now is her big chance. Unless Democrats get a surprise from Trump winning in blue states, the 2024 election will be stolen in the swing states exactly as it was in 2020. Indeed, as local news reports have made clear, many of the theft mechanisms used in 2020 have been legalized. It is now legal in swing states for the Democrats to steal the election.

When the election is stolen, what will Americans do about it? Nothing. They will accept tyranny before they will fight.

Fighting requires belief, but Americans’ beliefs have been destroyed by decades of liberal/left “education” that has undermined Western civilization by presenting it as a racist, misogynist scheme of exploitation of women and “minorities” by white supremacists. White kids go to taxpayer-financed schools funded by their parents to learn that they have been born into the wrong body and that they, their parents and grandparents are racists who owe reparations to “suppressed minorities.” They are being prepared to pay an additional round of taxes to those declared to be their victims. They are being sexualized at an early age and prepared for pedophiles.

We must be honest. This is a correct portrayal of America and the entire West today. Every Western government is on the side of immigrant-invaders against the ethnic citizens who comprise the countries.

Now, tell me, how can a social, political, belief system this weak go to war with real people such as Russians, Chinese, Iranians? They cannot.

The only future the Western world has is Doom.

Watch: The Strange Connection Between Trump’s Two Assassination Plotters—Both Appeared in BlackRock Commercials!

By Ann Stossel - September 16, 2024

After a second failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, more shocking details about Ryan Wesley Routh, the man behind the plot, have emerged. Routh, who was apprehended after attempting to target Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club, has now been linked to the financial giant BlackRock in an eerie twist of events.

As reports have surfaced, both Meta and X (formerly Twitter) have taken swift action to remove Routh’s social media accounts. Routh’s Facebook page was pulled shortly after authorities identified him from a witness photo, and his X account was suspended shortly after the incident. His online footprint revealed a deep well of anti-Trump rhetoric, as well as strong support for Democratic candidates and pro-Ukraine content. Yet, it’s what came to light afterward that raises eyebrows—Routh starred in a commercial for BlackRock, a company tied to elite global interests. Even more bizarre is that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who attempted to assassinate Trump at a Pennsylvania rally two months ago, also appeared in a BlackRock ad.

Is this just a strange coincidence, or is there something more at play?

Watch the ads that were sponsored by Black Rock below:

Social media erupted with speculation, with Trump supporters pointing out the disturbing similarities between Routh and Crooks. Both men harbored anti-Trump sentiments, and now both share this unusual connection to BlackRock. The financial giant has been accused of wielding massive influence behind the scenes in everything from politics to media, and these assassins appearing in their ads has fueled growing theories that Trump is being targeted by a shadowy elite cabal.

Adding to the controversy is the fact that after Routh was apprehended, his social media accounts were scrubbed from the internet. This swift move from Meta and X has reignited accusations of Big Tech censorship and election interference, with Trump supporters questioning why Routh’s anti-Trump posts were removed from public view. Is this another attempt by the establishment to control the narrative and protect their own?

Routh, who was found with a scoped AK-style rifle, was reportedly ready to open fire on Trump while he golfed, positioning himself just 300-500 yards from the president. The swift action of the Secret Service saved the day, but the question remains: how did Routh know Trump’s plans, given that the golf outing was a last-minute addition to his schedule?

And now, with the BlackRock connection looming over both recent assassination attempts, speculation is sure to intensify. Watch the videos below and judge for yourself—are these just two deranged individuals, or is there a larger force pulling the strings behind these assassination attempts?

US sends ‘unserviceable’ military arms to Taiwan

Faulty equipment includes mouldy body armour and damaged pallets

Katy Wong 15 September 2024 1:11pm

The United States sent faulty military items to Taiwan including mouldy armour and expired ammunition.

Most military equipment that suffered water damage was delivered from November 2023 through March 2024.

They remained at the aerial port of embarkation for more than three months pending air transport to Taiwan.

The army didn’t initiate requests for transportation until the end of 2023, unable to equip sufficient storage capacity. It failed to fully mitigate the exposure of items to adverse weather conditions.

The Department of Defense (DoD) failed to “effectively or efficiently implement accountability and quality controls for items delivered to Taiwan using the Presidential Drawdown Authority”, according to a report issued on Wednesday.

“The DoD provided unserviceable and poorly packaged equipment and munitions to Taiwan.”

Photos clearly show damaged pallets and mouldy body armour that arrived in Taiwan in 2023, including more than 3,000 mildewed body armour plates and 500 wet and mouldy tactical vests.

Personnel at the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) said the equipment was “soaking wet and full of mould”.

According to the report, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense issued a letter to the AIT’s security cooperation office in December 2023, stating that Taiwan had received 2.7 million rounds of ammunition.

This included expired, loose, and rounds of ammunition in the wrong packaging, which did not comply with shipping standards.

AIT described the open boxes of ammunition as “obviously extra boxes” of ammunition that give an impression of the army trying to “clear out stuff they didn’t want”.

Machine guns are also shipped without proper packaging such as serviceability paperwork, labels, wrapping, and cushioning.

The National Defense Authorization Act 2023 authorised the US president to draw down up to $1 billion from existing DoD stock to provide military assistance to Taiwan.

In July last year, Joe Biden approved $345 million worth of military equipment and services to provide assistance to Taiwan.

The delivery of faulty military equipment has led to additional costs for Taiwan authorities and weeks of unpacking, drying and inventorying the wet and mouldy items.

The Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command spent $618,894 in labour and materials to clean and dry the body armour, and an additional $113,492 to replace the damaged arms.

“The delivery of non-mission-capable items inhibit the DoD’s ability to achieve established security cooperation goals and may lead to loss of partner confidence in the United States,” the report concluded.

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense told local media that the subject matter is jointly reviewed and addressed by both Taiwan and the US.

US Allows Ukraine to Use Long-Range Missiles to Target Russian Territory After Iranian Missiles Delivery.

12 Sep, 2024 - 10:34 Defense News Army 2024

Citing information published by "People's World" on September 11, 2024, Moscow claimed that the U.S. has given the green light for Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russian targets. This development comes as part of a broader international effort to support Ukraine, with several European countries also backing Kyiv’s use of long-range weapons to strike Russian targets.

On September 3, 2024, "Reuters" announced that the U.S. is nearly finalizing an agreement to supply Ukraine with Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles (JASSM), which can reach deep into Russian territory. These missiles are expected to be delivered to Ukraine as part of a weapons package by autumn. The move is seen as a significant escalation in the conflict, as Ukraine will now be able to strike further into Russian territory than ever before.

The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) is a long-range, precision-guided cruise missile developed by Lockheed Martin for the U.S. military. It is designed to be launched from aircraft and strike high-value, well-defended targets from a safe distance, reducing the risk to pilots. The missile is equipped with advanced stealth technology to evade enemy radar and has a range of up to 370 km (230 miles) in its basic version, with an extended-range variant (JASSM-ER) reaching over 900 km (560 miles). JASSM is used primarily by the U.S. Air Force and Navy and has been exported to several allied nations.

European nations have also signaled their approval for Ukraine to use their donated missile systems in strikes targeting Russian military assets. Several European countries, including the UK, France, and Germany, have provided Ukraine with long-range missile systems such as the British-supplied Storm Shadow and French SCALP-EG cruise missiles. These missiles, with ranges up to 300 kilometers, have already played a crucial role in Ukrainian strikes against Russian positions in occupied territories.

However, until now, the use of European-donated long-range missiles had been limited to Ukrainian targets within its own borders or occupied territories. According to *People’s World*, recent developments indicate a shift in policy, with Western countries softening their stance on allowing Ukraine to strike military targets deep inside Russia. The UK, in particular, has reportedly supported Ukraine’s right to defend itself, even if that means conducting offensive operations within Russian territory, as long as those strikes are aimed at military infrastructure.

This shift follows Russia's own aggressive actions, including Iran’s delivery of Fath 360 ballistic missiles to Moscow, which has heightened the sense of urgency among Ukraine's Western allies. The Iranian-Russian missile deal, cited by *People's World*, has been seen as a provocative step, further fueling the arms race in the region and prompting NATO allies to reevaluate their restrictions on Ukraine’s use of donated long-range weapons.

With the U.S. poised to provide the JASSM missiles and European nations indicating their support for Ukrainian strikes on Russian soil, Ukraine is now better equipped to launch offensive operations that reach far beyond the frontlines. This new phase in the war has raised concerns about a potential escalation in hostilities, as long-range strikes from both sides could destabilize not only Ukraine and Russia but also the broader region. The growing use of advanced Western missile systems, alongside Ukraine’s requests for more offensive capabilities, signals a new chapter in the conflict, one that could significantly shift the balance of power on the battlefield.

As the conflict intensifies i Ukraine, the international community watches closely, with fears that this increased missile activity could lead to unpredictable consequences, potentially drawing other nations deeper into the conflict. Western nations continue to walk a fine line between supporting Ukraine's defense and preventing a further escalation that could lead to direct confrontation with Russia

Kyiv initially asked US for ATACMS strikes on Russian air bases but then changed targets – Reuters

KATERYNA TYSHCHENKO — Saturday, 14 September 2024, 19:09

Ukraine initially asked the United States to let it use long-range ATACMS missiles to hit Russian airfields, but now potential targets for Ukraine's long-range strikes include Russian military command centres, fuel and weapons depots and troop concentrations.

Source: Reuters, with reference to sources

Details: Two European diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Ukraine has given the US and UK a list of potential targets in Russia that could be hit by Western long-range weapons if allowed.

The officials say that the Ukrainians initially wanted to use US long-range ATACMS missiles to hit Russian air bases.

However, the Pentagon has said that 90% of Russian aircraft that launch glide bombs, one of the main threats to Ukraine, are based at airfields at least 300 kilometres from Ukrainian-controlled territory. This puts them out of range of ATACMS systems.

The officials say that Ukraine now wants to use the missiles to strike Russian military command centres, fuel and weapons depots and troop concentrations.

In addition to the US-supplied ATACMS, Kyiv wants to strike Russia from afar using UK-provided Storm Shadow missiles and the French SCALP missiles, which are virtually equivalent to the Storm Shadows.

Although the UK is expected to seek US approval before lifting the restrictions on Storm Shadow missiles, a French diplomatic source said Paris does not need Washington's permission for Ukraine to use French missiles, the publication said.

Reuters writes that while the US and the UK are discussing the possibility of allowing Ukraine to use Western weapons to strike deep into Russia, some US officials are deeply sceptical that this will have a significant impact on Kyiv's fight against Russia.

U.S. officials noted that Ukraine already has the capability to strike targets in Russia using drones. The US long-range ATACMS missiles could enhance this capability, but they are too expensive and limited in number to change the dynamic, they said.

In addition, the Kremlin has largely removed perhaps the most immediate threat – Russian aircraft carrying glide bombs – from the range of U.S. missiles, U.S. officials said.

They also assumed Kyiv should focus on stopping the Russian offensive on Ukraine’s east.

Background:

On 31 August, Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umierov confirmed that during a meeting with senior US officials, he had handed over a list of targets that Kyiv wants to hit with US long-range ATACMS missiles.

On 12 September, Russian ruler Vladimir Putin said that allowing Ukraine to strike Russia with Western missiles would mean direct involvement of NATO and European countries in the war in Ukraine.

US State Department and Biden-Harris regime desperately trying to ignite WWIII before election

09/15/2024 // Ethan Huff // 3.2K Views

The final and most serious of Moscow's "red lines" was crossed this week after the United States decided to "allow" Ukraine to use the weapons it and other Western nations donated to strike targets deep within Russian territory.

Washington's plan, according to Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Tex.) as cited by Axios journalist Juliegrace Brufke, is to lift all restrictions on Kiev's use of U.S.-provided ATACMs (Army Tactical Missile System). President Biden has confirmed that Washington is "working that out now."

Pretty much all the other major Western nations are in agreement that crossing Vladimir Putin's infamous red lines is both "permissible" and reasonable in light of all the deep state assets and criminal schemes, i.e., human trafficking, that are protected by Ukraine's very existence under Volodymyr Zelensky.

Up until now, the West has merely been sending Ukraine the weapons and letting Zelensky do with them as he wishes, just so long as he does not use them to strike deep within Russian territory. This changed after Zelensky threw a hissy fit and demanded that he be allowed to use all of his new toys where Putin told him not to.

"So far, the United States has given Kiev about $200 billion or more in both funding and military equipment and weapons," reports SHTFplan.com about these latest developments.

"Kiev has been clamoring for the restrictions against using long-range missiles as long-range missiles to be lifted since May. That also begs the question; was the U.S. always going to 'allow' Ukraine to cross Russia's red lines? Because Washington did give kiev [sic] the long-range weaponry, so why would they ban them from using it indefinitely?"

Has the final red line been crossed?

Truth be told, the West likely planned this whole thing out ages ago. Western powers pretended to just be arming Ukraine for its own "self-defense," knowing all the while that eventually Zelensky would use them against Russia in a major provocation towards World War III.

"This should serve as a warning for the U.S.," SHTFplan.com warns. "If Kiev does strike Russian territory using these donated weapons, it may be the final straw as Russia's last red line is crossed."

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the policy changes this week during a visit to Kiev with David Lammy, his United Kingdom counterpart.

"I talked to Blinken two days ago, and he is traveling with his counterpart from the UK to Kiev to basically tell them that they will allow them [to hit Russia with ATACMS]," McCaul confirmed.

According to State Department spokesman Matt Miller, Blinken flew to Kiev "to show continued support for Ukraine's defense." Miller made no mention of any policy changes being made.

What Blinken did was merely "signal," according to Bloomberg, that Washington intends to change the rules now that reports have surfaced claiming that Iran has supplied Russia with ballistic missiles. Iran, in response, claims it did no such thing, claiming it supports neither side of the conflict.

Whenever the U.S. needs an excuse to send more cash or weapons to foreign criminals, it most often trots out the "Iran is producing nuclear weapons" line. In this case, they upped the ante by claiming that Iran is sending those nuclear weapons to Russia, the other bogeyman Washington routinely uses to try to push unpopular foreign policy.

"Forget that we are supporting a fake president, forget that we are supporting an aggressor on RF (Russian Federation) territory and forget that we are supporting a cabal that is killing Christians only. What is this mindset? You can't understand their mental setup anymore," one commenter wrote about the insanity of the West.

Pope visits largest Muslim nation: Signing end of days Esau-Ishmael alliance against Israel

So Esau went to Ishmael and took to wife, in addition to the wives he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael son of Avraham, sister of Nebaioth.

Genesis 28:9 (the israel bible)

Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz Biblical News September 10, 2024 3 min read

Pope Francis embarked on a 12-day tour of four nations in Southeast Asia and Oceania, beginning his tour with a visit to Jakarta, Indonesia, home to the largest Muslim population in the world. In Jakarta, the pope met with Indonesia’s grand imam, Nasaruddin Umar, at the entrance to the “Tunnel of Friendship” which connects Istiqlal Mosque to the nearby Catholic Cathedral, Our Lady of the Assumption. Present were representatives of the six religions that are officially recognized in Indonesia: Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Catholicism and Protestantism.

The Catholic Pope and the Muslim Imam pledged to work together to fight religiously inspired violence and protect the planet. They issued a joint call for interfaith friendship and common cause at the heart of Francis’ visit to Indonesia. Pope Francis received a kiss on the head from the Imam while kissing his hand in response.

The Indonesian government claims the tunnel is a tangible sign of its commitment to religious freedom, which is enshrined in the constitution. Nonetheless, Indonesian society has been challenged by repeated instances of discrimination and violence against religious minorities. Catholics make up around 3% of Indonesia’s population, whereas 87% of the population is Muslim.

In 2021, two Muslim terrorist suicide bombers attacked Sacred Heart Cathedral in Makassar on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island during a Palm Sunday Mass, wounding 20 people.

The pope commented that the tunnel symbolized that different religious traditions “have a role to play in helping everyone pass through the tunnels of life with our eyes turned towards the light.”

He encouraged Indonesians of every religious tradition to “walk in search of God and contribute to building open societies, founded on reciprocal respect and mutual love, capable of protecting against rigidity, fundamentalism, and extremism, which are always dangerous and never justifiable.”

“I encourage you to continue along this path so that all of us, all of us together, each cultivating his or her own spirituality and practicing his or her religion, may walk in search of God and contribute to building open societies …”

Pope Francis expanded his agenda of solidifying a relationship between the Catholic Church and Islam by initiating The Istiqlal Declaration signed by Francis and Umar at a formal ceremony in the tent on the Istiqlal Mosque compound. The other religious representatives at the encounter didn’t co-sign it but were listed by organizers as having “accompanied” it.

During a 2019 visit to the Gulf, Francis and the imam of Al-Azhar, the 1,000-year-old seat of Sunni learning, launched a “Human Fraternity” movement calling for greater Christian-Muslim efforts to promote peace worldwide. More recently, Francis traveled to Najaf, Iraq, in 2021 to visit the top Shiite cleric, who delivered a message of peaceful coexistence.

Since ascending to the papacy in 2013, Pope Francis has worked openly to unite Esau and Ishmael by enhancing Christian-Muslim relations. This alliance implicitly threatens Israel, the spiritual descendant of their mutual Biblical nemesis. In 2019, Francis and Mohammed VI, King of Morocco, signed a statement about Jerusalem, referring to Israel’s capital as Al-Quds Acharif, the Arabic name for Jerusalem, minimizing the distinctive relationship between Jerusalem and the Jewish people. The agreement called for Jerusalem to become “the common patrimony of humanity and especially for the followers of the three monotheistic religions, as a place of encounter and as a symbol of peaceful coexistence, where mutual respect and dialogue can be cultivated.”

According to Rabbi Yechiel Weitzman author of The Ishmaelite Exile, this alliance of Christians and Muslims was predicted hundreds of years ago and is a sign of the End Times. According to Rabbi Weitzman, “The last stage in the process of Israel’s perfection will be characterized by the alliance between Ishmael and Esav (Esau), an alliance aimed at tormenting the entire world and the Jewish people in particular.”

The ancient Biblical connection between Esau and Ishmael is stated plainly in Genesis. Ishamael became Esau’s father-in-law when Esau married Ishmael’s daughter.

So Esau went to Ishmael and took to wife, in addition to the wives he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael son of Avraham, sister of Nebaioth. Genesis 28:9

Rabbi Weitzman concluded, “At the very outset of history, Ishmael and Esav forged a bond through marriage. And so it shall be at the End of Days. The alliance between them will bring history to its culmination in the redemption.”

Sword-Wielding Muslim Extremists Terrorize Christians, Mark Homes With Crosses in Bangladesh

A persecution watchdog is warning about recent developments in Bangladesh that are reportedly already putting Christians and other minority religious adherents in grave danger.

“About a month ago, after a few weeks of really bloody protests and bloody suppression of protests by the government, the government of Bangladesh was overthrown in essentially a military coup,” Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications at Christian Solidarity International (CSI), told CBN News.

He continued, “And what followed was about a week of rioting in which Hindus, and Christians, and Buddhists all across Bangladesh were attacked by mobs organized by Islamist groups.”

Pandemonium broke out in the South Asian nation last month after a student-led protest movement pushed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina out of office; she fled to India as furor exploded, with 600 people dying amid the consternation.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus was sworn in to help lead an interim government and bring back order. So far, instability persists, according to Voice of America.

Considering the newfound chaos — and the fact Bangladesh is a majority-Muslim country — these developments have been seen as incredibly troubling.

Despite its overwhelmingly Islamic populace, Bangladesh has what Veldkamp called a “long history of secularism and tolerance,” with its government existing in secular form before its fall. The shifting and chaotic dynamics now have experts like Veldkamp worrying about what could come next.

“Now that government has been overthrown … we’re extremely concerned that the floodgates are kind of now open for much wider Islamist and jihadist violence against Christians, against Buddhists, against Hindus, against all the non-Muslims in the country,” he said.

Netherlands Approves Ukraine To Use Their Weapons to Attack Moscow

Posted Sep 11, 2024 by Martin Armstrong |

What is becoming very clear is that NATO and the Neocons are out to ensure that World War III starts before the US election. Ruben Brekelmans, the defense minister of The Netherlands, just gave Zelensky the approval to use their weapons to wage war on Russia and even attack Moscow. Brekelmans claimed that international law “is not limited by distance.” He added, “The right to self-defense does not end 100 kilometers from the border.” He has now placed The Netherlands in the crosshairs, being the first to authorize Ukraine to start killing civilians in Russia.

As I have said, my fear is that they know what they are doing, and Putin has shown tremendous restraint. They want him to be overthrown by Russian Neocons, and they will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons. Brekelmans declared:

“We have not placed any operational restrictions on Ukraine regarding distance.”

Brekelmans has fulfilled our model’s forecast. We have a Directional Change in 2025, and the share market appears to be prepared to enter crash mode. We may see a 3-year bear market now into 2027. It looks like he has foolishly committed the Netherlands to World War III placing his own people’s lives on the line for the Neocons and NATO’s long dream of the conquest of Russia.

As I have said, 30 years ago, everyone sought world peace. Today, they just want a world war without a second thought.

PUTIN: ALLOWING UKRAINE TO USE LONG-RANGE MISSILES SUPPLIED BY THE WEST "MEANS NATO IS AT WAR WITH RUSSIA"

Hal Turner World September 12, 2024 Hits: 33700

Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a stark warning today, saying "Long range weapons for Kiev will mean NATO nations have declared war against Russia."

Developing very fast . . . . more details shortly. Check back

From Television News in the country of India:

Putin's EXACT words:

"There is an attempt to substitute concepts. Because we are not talking about authorizing or prohibiting the Kiev regime from striking Russian territory. It already does so with the help of drones and other means.

But when it comes to the use of Western-made long-range precision weapons, that's a completely different story.

The fact is that, as I have already mentioned and any experts will confirm this (both in our country and in the West), the Ukrainian army is not capable of striking with modern long-range Western-made precision systems. It cannot do it. This is possible only with the use of intelligence from satellites, which Ukraine does not have - this is data only from satellites of either the European Union or the United States, in general, from NATO satellites. This is the first thing.

The second, and very important, maybe the key one, is that only NATO servicemen can make flight assignments to these missile systems. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this.

And so this is not a question of allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not; it's about deciding that NATO countries are directly involved in a military conflict or not.

If this decision is made, it will mean nothing but direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, European countries in the war in Ukraine. This is their direct participation. And this, of course, significantly changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict.

It will mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries are at war with Russia. And if that is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us."

It is worth mentioning that years ago (2018), President Putin made it explicitly clear how fast things would take place, if Russia was attacked. His precise quote was:

"An aggressor should know that vengeance is inevitable, that he will be annihilated, and we would be the victims of the aggression. We will go to heaven as martyrs, and they will just drop dead. They will not even have time to repent for this," he said.

UPDATE 7:03 PM EDT --

A source in a position to know what is taking place inside the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) -- which runs all U.S. Spy Satellites -- says the Russians are moving long range tactical Nuclear weapons into firing positions, and doing firing drills TWICE daily

Russia says it could “combine” with China if they faced a threat

Russia said on Wednesday that its partnership with China was not aimed against third countries but the two powers could “combine potential” if faced with a threat from the United States.

“I would like to remind you that Moscow and Beijing will respond to ‘double containment’ by the United States with ‘double counteraction’,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said when asked about a possible deployment of U.S. missiles in Japan.

The Japan Times reported on Sept. 7 that the United States had expressed an interest in deploying a Typhon mid-range missile system to Japan for joint military exercises.

“It is clear that both Russia and China will react to the emergence of additional and very significant missile threats, and their reaction will be far from being political, which has also been repeatedly confirmed by the two countries,” Zakharova told reporters at her weekly briefing.

She said Russia and China had a strategic partnership that was not aggressive in its intent.

“Our relations are not directed against third countries… and double counteraction does not contradict this. This is a defensive position, this is not an initiative to target other countries,” Zakharova said in answer to a question from Reuters.

“But if an aggressive policy of attack is being implemented against us from one centre, why don’t we combine our potential and give an appropriate rebuff?”

Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping signed a “no limits” partnership deal in 2022, less than three weeks before Putin sent his troops into Ukraine. In May this year they agreed to deepen what they called their “comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation” for a new era.

The two countries have not declared a formal military alliance, although Putin last week described them as “allies in every sense of the word”.

Russia and China Conduct Largest Military Drills since Cold War

In the last week, the military forces of China and Russia conducted some of the largest drills in the last 30 years, marking an alarming increase in the two nations’ displays of military strength.

According to Fox News, the week-long drills will include 90,000 troops, 400 naval vessels, and 120 aircraft, and will take place in the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, as well as the Baltic, Caspian, and Mediterranean Seas. The drill has been named “Ocean 24.”

The display of power takes place as representatives from the United States meet with leaders of the European Union in Brussels, specifically focusing on rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific Region. China and Russia have slowly been growing closer together in recent years, with the former supporting the latter’s invasion of Ukraine.

The United States has been critical of China for providing “very substantial” support to Russia’s ongoing war effort.

“These are not dual-use capabilities,” said U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell after the latest reports of China providing military supplies to Russia. “These are basically being applied directly to the Russian war machine.”

These are component pieces of a very substantial effort on the part of China to help sustain, build and diversify various elements of the Russian war machine,” he continued. “We’re seeing efforts at the highest levels of both governments to try to both hide and protect certain elements of this worrisome collaboration. Most of these activities have been driven underground.”

China has denied that it supports Russia’s war against Ukraine, pointing to the fact that it joined forces with Brazil to propose a peace deal to end the war. This deal, however, was rejected by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that he would be most willing to agree with a peace deal if it is mediated by China, Brazil, or India, with the former two being close allies of Russia. This has brought any attempts at negotiations to a standstill due to the unwavering positions of both leaders.

Japan scrambles jets as Russian aircraft circles country

13 Sep 2024 10:03AM (Updated: 13 Sep 2024 10:06AM)

TOKYO: Japan scrambled fighter jets after Russian aircraft flew around the archipelago for the first time in five years, Tokyo's defence ministry said on Friday (Sep 13).

From Thursday morning to afternoon, the Russian Tu-142 aircraft flew from the sea between Japan and South Korea towards the southern Okinawa region, according to a statement by the defence ministry.

They then went northwards over the Pacific Ocean to finish their journey off northern Hokkaido island, it added.

The planes did not enter Japanese airspace but flew over an area subject to a territorial dispute between Japan and Russia, the official said.

"In response, we mobilised Air Self-Defence Force fighter jets on an emergency basis," the ministry statement said.

The last time Russian military aircraft circled Japan was in 2019, a ministry official told AFP on Friday, but that incident involved bombers that did enter the nation's airspace.

Earlier this week, Russian and Chinese warships began joint drills in the Sea of Japan.

The drills are part of a major naval exercise that Russian President Vladimir Putin has described as the largest of its kind in three decades.

Russia and China have ramped up military cooperation in recent years, with both railing against what they see as the US domination of global affairs.

They declared a "no limits" partnership shortly before Moscow launched its offensive in Ukraine in 2022.

Since the start of the Ukraine conflict, relations have deteriorated sharply between Japan and Russia, which both claim the Kuril Islands - known in Japan as the Northern Territories.

Published Sep 12, 2024 at 2:18 AM EDT Updated Sep 13, 2024 at 6:47 AM EDT

By Isabel van Brugen News Reporter

The United States scrambled fighter jets after Russian military aircraft were detected near Alaska.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said Wednesday that it detected, tracked, and intercepted two Russian military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, NORAD said U.S. fighter jets had conducted the intercept.

"The Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace," it said. "This Russian activity in the Alaska ADIZ is not seen as a threat, and NORAD will continue to monitor competitor activity near North America and meet presence with presence."

The Context

NORAD, which is made up of U.S. and Canadian forces, has intercepted Russian aircraft flying near Alaska multiple times since President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.

For example, it said in July 2023 that Russian aircraft had made at least four incursions into airspace close to Alaska since the beginning of that year.

What We Know

NORAD didn't elaborate on which type of Russian aircraft were detected on Wednesday or what U.S. fighter jets were used in the intercept.

An ADIZ is a defined stretch of international airspace but "requires the ready identification, location and control of all aircraft in the interest of national security," NORAD previously said.

The aerospace defense command said it employs a "layered defense network of satellites, ground-based and airborne radars and fighter aircraft to track aircraft and inform appropriate actions."

"NORAD remains ready to employ a number of response options in defense of North America," it said.

Newsweek has contacted the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.

In July, the Pentagon said Russian and Chinese bombers—two Russian Tu-95 and two Chinese H-6 military aircraft—were detected flying near Alaska, marking the first time the two nations had been observed operating together in that manner.

Wednesday's intercept near Alaska comes as Russia and China conduct joint large-scale military exercises in the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean, Caspian and Baltic Seas, through September 16.

What's Next?

NORAD is likely to intercept more Russian aircraft operating in the ADIZ in the future, given that such incursions are not uncommon.

A U.S. Defense Department spokesperson told Newsweek in July 2023 that Russian activity in the ADIZ "occurs regularly, and we do not view this activity as a threat." A NORAD spokesperson also told Newsweek there is "nothing associated with this and/or previous events that would indicate there are any ties to global activity."

Jan Markell: The World Is Living On Borrowed Time

By Jan Markell September 11, 2024

When 2024 dawned, now so many months ago, very few could have seen the turmoil that lay ahead. It’s just as well. Only God can handle foreknowledge, and since He knows the end from the beginning, nothing catches Him by surprise. He doesn’t orchestrate chaos, but He allows it so that we can have wake-up calls and keep eternity in perspective.

I want to highlight just five scenarios that are what I believe to be turning points in this present year. To a certain degree, they take one’s breath away.

Death Is Celebrated

The believer loves life and wants to enjoy it forever—and will in a heavenly home. Our number one job is to find as many people as possible who can take this journey with us. We choose life, which culminates in eternal life. At the August Democrat National Convention, very few chose life.

Abortion was glorified. With a carnival-like atmosphere, people were encouraged to make themselves extinct by sacrificing children on all sorts of platforms! A mobile abortion clinic awaited in the parking lot of the DNC. A dozen baby lives were exterminated on the spot.

The lunacy was staggering with people walking around like they were a birth control pill or an IUD. Clearly, it was demonic. Who could have imagined?

Presidential Candidates Removed

The summer of 2024 saw both presidential candidates removed, although one survived an assassination attempt, and as of late summer, he is still running for president. The point is, the globalists want to install their candidate for their end-time purposes.

They are pressing on towards their one-world government and agenda. Certain people are in the way. God controls the timing of their success but they haven’t figured that out. They are always in a hurry, but they can’t run ahead of God’s time frame.

Lauding Paganism—Announcing the Antichrist

The 2024 Olympics in Paris celebrated hedonism, paganism, and debauchery, and took an unspeakable swipe at the Lord Jesus Christ. The recent Olympics may be the greatest globalist extravaganza ever. This year’s event made believers glad that we are secure in the love of God and His plan for the end of the age. Christians who are aware of the Olympic antics are righteously indignant at the attack God got on the global stage. Mocking the Lord’s Supper set a new level of indignation towards the One who created the universe and spared humanity from sin’s consequences.

Clearly, this event was announcing the Antichrist, who hasn’t actually shown up yet because this isn’t his time! But symbolically, he rode in on a white horse. Again, could you have anticipated such an outrage?

Israel is Being Set Up

She is being betrayed, even by once strong supporters in Washington D.C. She is isolated and viewed as a burdensome stone (Zechariah 12:3). Almost everyone Israel trusts lets her down. She will drop her guard one more time when the Antichrist comes along to sweep her off her feet.

But the set-up is in process. When she was attacked on October 7, 2023, a natural response would have been global support. Just the opposite happened. Global antisemitism enveloped the entire world. It has been so stunning one could not have perceived this level of hate that is actually unique to the 1930s and sadly, to this modern generation.

College campuses, marches, and demonstrations globally have reignited the Nazi passion to “gas the Jews.” Again, it has been breathtaking, and the panorama is set to further explode this fall and winter. Jews have been reprogrammed in recent months to run and hide.

The Gog-Magog Players are Ready

Four of the five major participants to the Russian invasion of Israel, also known as Gog-Magog, are flexing their muscles today. Russia, Iran, and Turkey have united in very recent years with an early foreshadowing of Ezekiel 38-39.

Sudan is engaged in a brutal civil war but has Russian soldiers throughout the African country. She could easily participate in the taking of a “spoil” in Israel as outlined in Ezekiel’s passage. Israel’s wealth would be a great relief to impoverished Sudan. And the brutal Sudanese regime would rather steal it than produce it.

I have just outlined five scenarios that have serious consequences and a biblical reference. In a sense, no previous generation has observed this kind of alignment and convergence in these areas. Once again, who could have imagined? Really, no one. And there are so many more.

Time is short, friends. The world is living on borrowed time.

Life As You Have Known It Will Never Be The Same Again…

An Ultra-Violent Migrant Gang Is Shooting Police Officers, Trafficking Young Women And Raping Kids

September 11, 2024 by Michael

The chaos that we are witnessing in the streets is the direct result of the decisions that our politicians have made. As I discussed yesterday, allowing millions upon millions of migrants that are not being properly screened to come pouring over our wide open borders is not a good idea. There are certainly many migrants that are coming here because they want to work hard and create a better life for themselves. But of course there are others that are coming here for other reasons. Throwing the back door wide open for vast numbers of criminals that intend to cause all sorts of mayhem once they arrive in our major cities is extremely foolish. We are literally committing national suicide, and many of our leaders don’t seem to care. (Read More...)

According to NBC News, authorities are currently investigating more than 100 serious crimes that have been committed by an ultra-violent gang of migrants from Venezuela known as Tren de Aragua…

U.S. law enforcement and immigration officials have launched more than 100 investigations of crimes tied to suspected members of a violent Venezuelan gang, including sex trafficking in Louisiana and the point-blank shooting of two New York City police officers, according to two Department of Homeland Security officials.

The cases involving the Tren de Aragua gang show how hard it is for U.S. border agents to vet the criminal backgrounds of migrants from countries like Venezuela that won’t give the U.S. any help.

More than 330,000 Venezuelans crossed the U.S. border last year, according to Customs and Border Protection data, and Venezuela, like Cuba, China and a handful of other countries, doesn’t provide any criminal history information to U.S. officials.

Gang members are coming over the southern border in extremely large numbers, and once they are allowed in they can literally go anywhere in the country that they want.

Sadly, violence seems to erupt wherever members of this particular gang show up.

For example, two members of Tren de Aragua are facing the death penalty for murdering a former police officer in south Florida…

Two alleged members of the dangerous Venezuelan ‘Tren de Aragua’ gang face the death penalty for the 2023 kidnapping and murder of a man in the city of Doral, in Miami-Dade County, whose apartment was ransacked by armed men.

Julio César Hernández Montero, 27 years old; and Yurwin Salazar Maita, 23, appeared by court order in county court Tuesday, where prosecutors charged them with first-degree murder charges for allegedly killing 43-year-old José Luis Sánchez Valera.

In addition to these charges, Assistant State Attorney Gabriela Alfaro told Judge Laura Cruz that the state will prosecute the co-defendants for robbery, home invasion, vehicle theft, kidnapping and burglary.

This would never have happened if the Biden administration had not let them in.

In the Big Apple, a member of the gang that entered this country illegally recently shot two police officers…

In New York, police say Bernardo Raul Castro-Mata, a 19-year-old from Venezuela, shot two police officers last week. Castro-Mata entered the country illegally last July, a member of Immigration and Customs Enforcement told CNN. The Venezuelan has tattoos associated with Tren de Aragua – which court documents for a suspected gang member in Georgia describe as five-pointed crowns, five-pointed stars and teardrops – the New York Police Department told CNN.

Venezuela is more than happy to send their criminals to us, and the Biden administration is more than happy to take them in.

Now crime in Venezuela is going down, and crime in our country is going up.

In Denver, members of Tren de Aragua have reportedly been given a “green light” to attack law enforcement officials…

At the same time, the gang has reportedly established a significant presence in parts of Colorado, Fox News reported. They were reportedly given a “green light” to fire on or attack law enforcement in Denver.

There have also been reports of the gang taking over at least two apartment buildings in Aurora.

Gang members were not just living in the apartment buildings that they took over in Aurora.

It is being reported that the gang was actually using some of the apartments for child prostitution…

A bombshell report details the complete control the criminal organization had on the Whispering Pine Apartments in the Denver suburb,

Vacant units had reportedly been used to host ‘parties’ where the gang provided ‘drug and child prostitution,’ according to the apartments’ manager, who added that the gangster said ‘minors are a good source of money.’

Sex trafficking is one of the major ways that Tren de Aragua brings in money.

In Louisiana, women that were trafficked by the gang claim that they were forced “to have sex with four men a day”…

In a federal affidavit, two of the women described how they were trafficked by three alleged gang members who had entered the U.S. within the past year. All three suspects had been intercepted by Border Patrol after they entered Texas illegally but had then been released into the U.S.

The women say the alleged gang members arranged for them to fly from El Paso, Texas, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Once they were in Baton Rouge, the women were taken to a Ross retail clothing store to buy clothes. They were then taken to an apartment building, where they were allegedly forced to have sex with four men a day.

And apparently the gang has also been operating “stash houses” in several other states as well…

Officials arrested two suspects – both Venezuelan nationals – at the location, Allbert Herrera Machado, 23, and Osleidy Vanesa Chourio-Diaz, 26. Agents later arrested another Venezuelan, Josmar Jesus Zambrano-Chirinos, 23, identified in the complaint as a leader of the sex trafficking operation being conducted by the Tren de Aragua in the US. Zambrano was “operating ‘stash houses’ used for human trafficking in Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, New Jersey, and Florida,” according to the criminal complaint reviewed by CNN.

This is absolutely horrifying.

Our leaders know that this is happening, and nothing is being done to stop it.

Thankfully, there are a few politicians that are speaking out. U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales has been consistently warning about the threat that Tren de Aragua poses, and he claims that “this gang has been known to rape children”…

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX), whose district runs along nearly half of the southern border, said he has warned about the gang and is seriously concerned about the hold it already has in the U.S. given its record as an “agent of chaos and terror through Central and South America.”

“For months, I have sounded the alarm about Tren de Aragua and the threat this gang poses to Americans,” Gonzales said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “It’s graphic, but this gang has been known to rape children, murder, and commit nearly every other crime under the sun. We know that Tren de Aragua has expanded operations in Mexico, and some gang members have made their way into the United States.”

If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris really cared about our women and our children, they would seal the border immediately.

But they will never do that.

Instead, they just made an agreement with the government of Mexico to use buses to transport migrants directly to the U.S. border from two cities in southern Mexico…

The latest development between the Biden/Harris administration and the government of Mexico on the immigration front will see migrants provided bussing from two southern Mexico cities to the United States border. The plan will provide the migrants headed to the United States with meals and security during travel from the two cities to the U.S. destination where the migrant’s asylum appointments are scheduled under the CBP-One application.

The government of Mexico’s National Institute of Migration (INM) announced the new program in a Spanish-language notice issued on Saturday, referring to the initiative as the “Secure Emerging Mobility Corridor.” The two departure cities in southern Mexico will be Villahermosa, Tabasco, and Tapachula, Chiapas.

Are you kidding me?

So now gang members that want to come to the United States will get free bus rides to the border.

What the politicians in Washington are doing to us is literally insane, and it is an enormous threat to our national security.

As social order breaks down in this country, migrant gangs are going to have an absolute field day.

We must shut the border, and we must shut it now.

BRICS Confirms 159 Participants Will Adopt New Global Payment System; Isolating U.S. Dollar

Hal Turner World September 11, 2024 Hits: 24368

After recent rumblings surfaced of how many nations would embrace the impending BRICS Pay system, the bloc has confirmed 159 participants are set to adopt the new payment system.

Indeed, the economic alliance system is poised to hit the ground running when it finally launches.

Now, all eyes are on when that launch will take place. Many have surmised that it would be announced at the highly anticipated 2024 Summit. Moreover, it would be set to go live in what would be a groundbreaking unveiling. If that were to happen, the bloc has already noted there is a long line of entities ready to embrace it.

Earlier this year, the BRICS bloc announced the creation of a blockchain-based payment platform. It would redefine the collective’s global economic standing. Moreover, it would compete with some of the largest payment systems worldwide. That includes the Western-dominated SWIFT system.

Now, the BRICS group confirmed that 159 participants will adopt the new payment system. Indeed, Russian officials verified the number in a recent correction, according to a Yahoo report. Although previous statements rumored 160 countries would be involved, the number was clarified in subsequent reports.

The payment system is crucial to the bloc’s ongoing de-dollarization efforts. It will provide participating countries with an avenue to trade in local currencies. Therefore, it will greatly enhance how these nations settle trade; ultimately, decreasing international necessity for the U.S. greenback.

WHY THE EXODUS FROM THE DOLLAR?

Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday, said this on the de-dollarization of the world economy: "

The financial and political authorities of the United States are pushing this process forward with their not just careless, but unprofessional and stupid actions.

I think that they already understand that they made a mistake, but they simply cannot get out of this rut, it is probably no longer very convenient for them to admit that they made a mistake, but it would be necessary to correct something, they see that the tools they are using do not work.

We are switching to national currencies and that’s it. They (American officials) can no longer do this, apparently, only those people who will replace today’s generation of politicians can do this. To change something means to admit your mistakes. Apparently, this is difficult."

Nuland confirms West told Zelensky to abandon peace deal

Ukraine-Russia talks fell apart after Kiev asked foreign backers for advice, the former US deputy secretary of state has said

The US, UK and other backers of Ukraine told Kiev to reject the deal reached at the 2022 Istanbul peace talks with Russia, former US under secretary of state Victoria Nuland has said.

In an interview with Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar, former editor-in-chief of the liberal news channel Dozhd, which aired on Thursday, Nuland was asked to comment on reports that the peace process between Moscow and Kiev in late March and early April 2022 collapsed after then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson traveled to Ukraine and told Vladimir Zelensky to keep fighting.

“Relatively late in the game the Ukrainians began asking for advice on where this thing was going and it became clear to us, clear to the Brits, clear to others that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's main condition was buried in an annex to this document that they were working on,” she said of the deal being discussed by the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Türkiye’s largest city.

The proposed agreement included limits on the kinds of weapons that Kiev could possess, as a result of which Ukraine “would basically be neutered as a military force,” while there were no similar constraints on Russia, the former diplomat explained.

“People inside Ukraine and people outside Ukraine started asking questions about whether this was a good deal and it was at that point that it fell apart,” Nuland said.

The veteran diplomatic hawk, who during her time in the State Department was renowned for her hostility towards Russia, quit the post of under secretary of state for political affairs in March this year. Nuland played a key role in the violent Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014, which toppled Ukraine’s democratically elected president, Viktor Yanukovich.

During the escalation between Moscow and Kiev in February 2022, she called for deeper US involvement in the conflict and advocated for Ukraine to be armed with increasingly sophisticated weapons. However, in February, the 63-year-old essentially acknowledged the failure of her longstanding policy of containing Moscow, telling the CNN that modern Russia had turned out to be “not the Russia we wanted.”

During her conversation with Zygar, Nuland confirmed that both Moscow and Kiev were eager to seek a diplomatic solution a month after the outbreak of the fighting.

Russia had an interest at that time in at least seeing what it could get. Ukraine, obviously, had an interest if they could stop the war and get and get Russia out,” she said.

US officials “were not in the room” during the talks in Istanbul, only offering Kiev “support” in case it were needed, she claimed.

Putin said last week that the only reason the Istanbul deal failed was because of “the wish of the elites in the US and some European nations to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia,” adding that Boris Johnson served as the messenger to quash the peace process.

The negotiations in Türkiye yielded a draft agreement, which would have ended the hostilities, Putin recalled. Kiev was willing to declare military neutrality, limit its armed forces, and vow not to discriminate against ethnic Russians. In return, Moscow would have joined other leading powers in offering Ukraine security guarantees, he stressed.

According to the Russian leader, talks with Kiev are still possible, but can only happen “not on the basis of some ephemeral demands but on the basis of the documents that were agreed and actually initialized in Istanbul.”

U.S. and UK to Officially APPROVE Long-Range Attacks into Pre-War Russia

Hal Turner World September 10, 2024 Hits: 32565

US Secretary of State Blinken & UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, will travel to Kyiv to inform Ukraine that restrictions on use of long-range missiles against Russian territory will be lifted.

Initially, this will mean that American-supplied ATACMS (Advanced Tactical Missile System) along with British-supplied "StormShadow" missiles, and French-supplied "SCALP" missiles, can now be used to attack deep inside pre-war Russia.

HAL TURNER ANALYSIS

How much longer can any reasonable person expect Russia, to sit back and allow itself to be attacked with American, British, French, and German weaponry, fired by Ukraine?

In the real world, if persons "A" and "b" give a weapon to person "C," and person "C" goes out and uses that weapon to commit an act of violence . . . and gets arrested . . . . they then ask Person "C" "Where did you get this weapon?" When person "C" tells them, the very NEXT people to get arrested are persons "A" and "B."

There __is__ liability and culpability for what the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and NATO member countries, are doing. They are accessories before the fact.

If it weren't for the fact that the US and NATO breached the promise made by President George H.W. Bush (the father) . . . who promised Mikhail Gorbachev that "NATO will not move one inch eastward" if the then-Soviet Union approved of the reunification of East and West Germany, none of this trouble would be happening.

WE PROMISED the Soviets we would not expand NATO. Bill Clinton got into the US Presidency, and the Presidential promise to the Soviets went out the window.

We not only expanded NATO more than one inch eastward, we expanded it right up to Russia's BORDER!

When the US/EU and NATO tried to get Ukraine to join NATO, back in 2013 and 2014, Ukraine's Democratically-elected President, Viktor Yanukovich said "Thanks, but no thanks." So the US -- under Barack Obama -- the EU, and NATO fomented, financed, and facilitated the forcible, violent overthrow of Yanukovich.

It was THEN . . . . right then . . . . that Russia realized the expansion of NATO was going to put American missiles on Ukrainian soil - and do it by overthrowing Ukraine's President! ! ! !. Those missiles would have a five minute flight time to Moscow.

Russia also pointed out that even if, as the Americans claimed, the missiles were "conventional" and "defensive" that they could also be re-fitted with OFFENSIVE and NUCLEAR warheads. The refit could be done while the missiles were in their launcher, and no one would know the missiles had been swapped-out.

Russia could then find itself on the wrong end of nuclear bombs with a five minute flight time to Moscow, and a slightly longer 7-10 minute flight time to Russia's strategic nuclear missile silos.

Russia pointed out that no nation on earth can defend itself against a missile with a five minute flight time from launch to impact.

Russia pointed out that it was US President John F. Kennedy, who set the precedent for this, when he imposed a naval blockade of Cuba because the then-Soviets, had place nuclear missiles in Cuba with a five minute flight time to Washington DC. (Cuban Missile Crisis.)

Had the Soviets not agreed to remove those missiles, President Kennedy was already massing troops in Florida to invade Cuba.

Russia tried, at least TWICE, to negotiate "iron-clad, legally enforceable security guarantees" via Diplomatic efforts in December 2021 and January 2022 to protect their national security from NATO expansion and more missiles. The collective West laughed and told Russia "No." So the second attempt, Russia told everyone "If we cannot obtain iron-clad, legally enforceable security guarantees via Diplomatic means, we will obtain them by military or military-technical means." They told everyone -- in writing -- they would use military force.

The collective West waited about two weeks and then laughed at the Russians again, and told them "no."

Russia made clear this issue is a "Red Line" and they would not allow Ukraine to Join NATO.

In its final effort to keep the peace, Russia called Ukraine and told them "You have five hours to agree not to join NATO." Ukraine called the US and UK, both of whom told them "ignore the Russian ultimatum."

Russia waited. When the five hours were up, Russia waited two additional hours and, having heard nothing but Ukraine earlier say "We are a Sovereign country, we will do what we want, Russia said "Oh yea? Here. Meet the Russian Army.

In went the Russian troops.

The West then turns around and screeches like girl-men "This is an unprovoked aggression by Russia." No it isn't. It was provoked. Provoked by the expansion of NATO. Provoked by the forcible overthrow of Ukraine's President Yanukovich. Provoked by the Ukraine Army shelling and mortaring Russian-speaking civilians in Luhansk and Donetsk.

Russia is DEFENDING its own national security by forcibly halting this expansion of NATO; done by the forcible overthrow of Ukraine's government by the US and EU. Russia is defending itself from American missiles being on Ukrainian soil.

Russia is defending the Russian-speaking populations of Luhansk, Donetsk Kherson, and Zaporozyhe - many of whom were already being attacked by Ukraine artillery and mortars. In fact, Luhansk and Donetsk, had already lost about 13,000 people to Ukrainian attacks, before Russia stepped-in to help them fight off the Ukrainians in 2013 and 2014.

Russia is right in what it's doing.

If Russia gives-in, NATO will simply continue to expand until all of Russia is surrounded. Then, one day, NATO calls and says something like, you have five minutes to surrender or we will wipe your country from the face of the earth and take all its riches. At that point, it would be too late for Russia.

Russia had to take a stand, now. They had no choice.

We in the West are the aggressors here. It is we in the West who moved our NATO bases right up to Russia's border. It is we in the West aiming more and more missiles at Russia from all those bases. And it is we in the West who have been using Ukraine, as a Proxy army, to attack Russia for OUR (NATO) benefit.

If Russia decides they have had enough of us, it is WE (here in America) that may be hit by their missiles. All because NATO wants to expand.

I say, No thanks, NATO. You don't need to expand anymore.

Africa’s most populous state devastated by deadly floods (VIDEOS)

The deluge caused by heavy rains and a burst dam is the worst that Borno State in Nigeria has seen in two decades

Dozens of people have been killed and others trapped after devastating floods swept through Nigeria’s northeastern Borno State. Militants, including the notorious Boko Haram terrorists, have been leading an armed rebellion in the area for more than a decade.

According to local officials cited by Reuters, the flooding is the worst the state has seen in two decades.

A deluge struck the region on Tuesday when heavy rains caused the Alau Dam to burst its banks, Nigerian authorities said on Wednesday. Regional governor Babagana Zulum told reporters while visiting the reagion that the flood had buried a quarter of the state’s capital, Maiduguri, and affected up to 1 million people.

A post office and the Maiduguri Teaching Hospital were all damaged, President Bola Tinubu also said in a statement, while expressing his “heartfelt” sympathy to families who have lost their means of livelihood.

The water submerged entire residential areas and damaged buildings, including the Borno State Museum Park, where officials said an unspecified number of reptiles, including crocodiles and snakes, had escaped into affected communities.

Ali Abatcha Don Best, the zoo’s general manager, said the incident killed about 80% of the animals.

In a statement late Thursday, Zubaida Umar, the director of the country’s Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said search and rescue operations have intensified.

“The current trend of flooding indicates that 29 states and 172 LGAs [local government areas] have been impacted; 1,048,312 people are affected; 625,239 displaced, and 259 deaths recorded unfortunately,” Umar said following an emergency meeting.

Sirajo Garba, NEMA’s northeast zonal coordinator, earlier stated that the military was involved in evacuation efforts in Maiduguri. He said that as of Wednesday, over 1,000 people had been rescued, with more than 70,000 displaced persons profiled in seven camps.

We have deployed high suspension vehicles and boats, and the military is working on a search and rescue operation,” he told local media on Wednesday, adding that the number of casualties “cannot be ascertained now.”

According to Al Jazeera, officials have recovered “many” bodies, including that of a baby whose family waited for rescue for 36 hours after seeking shelter on a boat that later capsized.

In response to the disaster, the Nigerian government reopened several camps, including the Bakassi camp, with local media reporting that internally displaced persons (IDP) were arriving at the facility by boat. The Bakassi IDP camp, which had been shut down last year, had been a home for tens of thousands of people who had been displaced by Boko Haram’s 15-year insurgency war.

The Top Eight Primary Forces That Threaten America Today - Never In Our History Have Americans Faced Greater Existential Challenges To Our Very Existence

By Frank Hawkins - All News Pipeline  September 13, 2024

The state of our society is a far cry from life in the 20th century, and even much of the first two decades of the 21st century. What major forces are driving much of the dramatic changes? I count no fewer than eight.

Power and Incompetence of the Deep State

The enormous, growing overreach of government to control ordinary citizens and their legislators is the monster of a bloated federal establishment. Americans are steadily losing influence, and the ability to hold the bureaucracy and individual bureaucrats accountable. Former Navy Seal Shawn Ryan describes it this way:

One of the biggest problems within the country is the distrust in the United States government… I have zero trust in any government agencies… We have a government that’s not functioning right now. How are you going to gain the trust back of the American people within the government?

Eroding Rights of the Individual

Our Constitution was specifically designed to protect individual citizens from the government. But that protection is rapidly eroding as Democrats seek to expand the power of the government and control of citizens’ lives and money. Nothing is more telling than the Soviet style years-long imprisonment and in some cases torture of J6 protestors, many of whom were barely guilty of trespassing, normally an extremely minor misdemeanor.

Leftist Revolts on Campus and on the Street

Democrats and the left exploit anarchy and campus unrest to demand influence and control of our society. Protests have long been an important feature of our political life, most notably the civil rights marches that changed the face of America. But the tone and nature of public demonstrations is changing. Anti-Israeli, pro-Palestinian protests have turned some campuses into anti-Semitic war zones. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz let Minneapolis burn for four days, overseeing the destruction of scores of businesses and properties. His reward — nominated by the Democrats to be vice president of the United States.

A Troubled Education System

American schools are not spending enough time on core academic subjects. Too many schools are filled with children who can’t read, write, or do basic math at expected levels. Students are forced to focus on DEI and gender issues instead of basic academic skills and respect for our flag, our history and the Constitution. Schools are run by bureaucrats responsible for following complex rules imposed by unelected state and federal employees. Frustrated teachers are quitting by the thousands every year. One disturbing result? Our military can’t find enough qualified recruits who will defend us. Did you know the Navy is dry-docking warships because they can’t recruit enough qualified crews? One young Army officer recently told me he had soldiers in his unit who could barely read.

The Challenge of Diversity

There is little if any diversity tolerated in the nations that are our greatest threats — China, Iran, Russia, North Korea. Diversity works in muti-cultural Singapore where the state tightly controls its citizens, and in Israel where the population is bonded by the common threat of annihilation. But eroding public allegiance to the Constitution is slipping us into a more fractured culture. Democrats shamelessly exploit racial and ethnic division and hateful gender wars. One prominent Kamala Harris supporter, black lesbian Kelley Robinson, denigrates the Bill of Rights as merely “a little piece of paper.” Meanwhile, millions of illegal aliens who have flooded into our country in the past three years are disrupting the security and financial wellbeing of cities and local communities across the country.

Uncontrolled Technology

AI has arrived and no one yet knows what the outcome will be. Our dependence on the internet and electronic technology is already baked into our culture. It is both a benefit and a growing threat to liberty and security enabling tighter control over individual citizens. In addition, we face a growing potential threat of war in space that could destroy us.

The Menace of Radical Islam

The threat from radical Islam is not just from “Death to America” Iran and its allies. Infiltration into western societies threatens total disruption. The UK and France are frightening examples. Mayors of almost every major city in England are Muslims. Are they loyal to the UK’s Christian state religion that is meant to be defended by the royal family? Have you noticed the anti-Israeli, anti-Semitic rhetoric from Muslim representatives now in Congress and their supporters? Remember 9/11 and the deaths of scores of Americans in untold numbers of terrorist attacks? 1.7 billion Muslims on the planet potentially embrace jihad and the beheading of non-believers. You can read all about it in the Koran. Has any Muslim society denounced that?

External Threats — China, Iran, Russia, North Korea

America has powerful adversaries armed with nuclear weapons and growing technological skills that have the increasing potential to annihilate us. Nothing fuels those threats more than weak or indifferent American leadership. There is growing concern about the possibility of World War III as events in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia could quickly spin out of control.

Never in our history have Americans faced greater existential challenges. The upcoming November election offers a chance to disrupt threatening trends set into motion or enhanced with the 2008 election of Barack Hussein Obama.

Shocking new bodycam footage shows moment woman with 'fur on her lips' arrested for eating cat in Ohio

Springfield City Hall is evacuated by bomb threat amid immigration firestorm

By Dominic Yeatman For Dailymail.Com

Published: 20:09 EDT, 12 September 2024 | Updated: 07:45 EDT, 13 September 2024

Police in Ohio have released grisly footage of a woman who allegedly stomped on a cat's head before feasting on the animal in full view of horrified witnesses.

Allexis Ferrell, 27, was found with 'fur on her lips and blood on her hands' when police were called by shocked neighbors in the town of Canton on August 16.

Ferrell is a native of the town, which is 172 miles from Springfield - where unproven claims that Haitian migrants are 'eating pets' have sparked a national scandal.

While she is neither a migrant nor from Springfield, the video of her arrest has been spread online in viral discussions and debates about the issue.

Authorities have now revealed bodycam video of the incident.

'Officers were able to determine that Allexis had smashed the cat's head with her foot and then began to eat the cat,' police wrote in their report.

It comes after Donald Trump made extraordinary and unproven claims during his presidential debate that Haitian migrants are killing and eating their neighbors' pets in Springfield, some 170 miles away from Canton.

The bizarre footage opens seconds after police arrived to find a 'female squatting on a cat which appeared to have its head smashed in and the female with her hands on it'.

Officers confronted Ferrell and ordered her to put her hands behind her back before one remarked: 'Someone got rubber gloves? She's covered in blood.'

She makes no response as she is asked her address and read her Miranda rights, before the grossed out officer warns a colleague to put a blanket on the back seat of their squad car.

'Smile for me. Go like this,' he says as he holds up a camera, 'Did you eat that cat? Did you eat it?'

She bares her teeth for the picture and shakes her head slightly but says nothing.

'Why d'you kill it?' he demands.

'I don't know,' she pipes in a small voice.

'Get in there. It's ridiculous,' he says as he shoves her into the car.

The first claims about pets being eaten over in Springfield were raised at a city commission meeting on July 30.

Furious locals used the forum to voice their feelings about the 15,000 Haitians who have arrived on Temporary Protected Status since 2020.

'I really challenge you guys to get out here and do something,' one angry resident told the meeting.

'These Haitians are running into trash cans, running into buildings, they're flipping cars in the middle of the streets.'

'They're in the park, grabbing up ducks by their neck, and cutting their head off and walking off with them. They're eating them.'

One anonymous poster to a Springfield residents' Facebook group claimed that her 'neighbor's daughter's friend' had lost her cat.

'One day she came home from work, as soon as she stepped out of her car, looked towards a neighbor's house, where Haitians live, and saw her cat hanging from a branch, like you'd do a deer for butchering, and they were carving it up to eat,' she explained.

Police and city officials in the town have been at pains to insist that there have been no credible reports of any migrants harming any pets.

But the rumors were amplified by Trump's running mate JD Vance before the ex-president himself wielded them in his debate with Kamala Harris.

'In Springfield, they're eating the dogs,' he told her. 'The people that came in. They're eating the cats.

'They're eating -- they're eating the pets of the people that live there.

'And this is what's happening in our country.'

Told by ABC moderator David Muir that there had been no credible reports to the authorities, the ex-president insisted that had 'seen people on television'.

'The people on television say my dog was taken and used for food,' he added.

A spokesperson for Springfield police was among those denying the claims.

'In response to recent rumors alleging criminal activity by the immigrant population in our city, we wish to clarify that there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community,' he said on Tuesday.

The Canton PD footage continues with an officer turning to a group of onlookers after Ferrell is placed in the squad car.

'Did you guys see all this?' he inquires.

'No we pulled up and she was just laying there with..' one replies.

'Did you see her eating it?' he asks.

'Yeah,' says one, 'It was gross,' added another.

'She said with the blood on her shoes she stomped it out. She stomped the head out.'

'Well you don't kill a cat and go to the hospital, you go to jail,' the officer remarks.

'Will you call the humane society and see if they will come pick this cat up,' he then mutters into his radio. 'It's deceased.'

Ferrell is being held in the Stark County Jail on a charge of cruelty to companion animals, a fifth-degree felony.

She graduated from Canton McKinley High School in 2015 and has a lengthy criminal history, with previous charges including cocaine possession, receiving stolen property and endangering children.

'The suspect in this case is not a Haitian immigrant,' Canton police spokesperson Dennis Garren said. 'She is a lifelong Canton resident.'

Her bond has been set at $100,000 and she is due to face a competency hearing in front of Stark County Common Pleas Judge Frank G. Forchione on October 15.

She has entered a plea of not guilty due to insanity.
