• YOU CAN'T GIVE WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE... SATAN HAS NOTHING TO OFFER WITHOUT GOD'S CONSENT(JOB 1:9-12) [PART 2]

    DINING WITH THE DEVIL...NO SPOON IS LONG ENOUGH!(LK.16:24-26)

    Today there's more than enough for the the CHURCH to WORRY about,if you are a hardcore believer of God and His [Udiluted] Word.

    Only the Good Lord knows why HE has been taking me down this road in the past weeks. Perhaps,as one, on the other side of the aisle tagged*POVERTY MENTALITY GROUP*,it should be easier than the other side, the side of *ACCLAIMED WORSHIPPERS OF A RICH GOD*,to spill it out,as DIRECTED! I am equally not oblivious of the scorn that awaits me.

    You see, there's a popular maxim that says,*Use a Long Spoon when Dining with the Devil* The truth is that,no spoon is long enough(if you like,use a laddle or paddle), the devil has the uncanny ability of grabbing your hands,if he wants to. And you know the implications. Dining with the devil makes you fall into the hands of the Living God,and it's terrifying.
    It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Heb 10: 31)

    It's established that we are aware in the course of our studies ,about JEHOVAH'S JEALOUSY OVER THE SHARING OF HIS GLORY,AND MANY OF US RECEIVING OUR REWARDS ON EARTH ALREADY!

    Today isn't different,as our FATHER explained that many notable*warriors* in *HIS ARMY* have long let down their *guard,* when they tasted from Lucifer's dish.

    First of all,we had God warning us;

    Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1Co 10: 31)

    6. Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

    7. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; (Deu 8: 6-7)

    10. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

    11. Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

    12. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

    13. And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

    14. Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; (Deu 8: 10-14)


    If we want to be truthful to ourselves,it should be common knowledge that the *beats and tunes*change when the less privileged walks into affluence...(pastor or member,believer or unbeliever...VERY FEW HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO AVOID THE PITFALLS THAT COME WITH RICHES. And they are daily becoming fewer.

    I have even personally interrogated myself,if I could still faithfully maintain this MANDATE,if I happened to cross into that league...frankly,the answer is still not forthcoming.

    However, what most of us (especially pastors) either deliberately or ignorantly refused to accept is the fact not everyone of is compulsorily expected to cross into the league of earthly prosperity. And many of us God allowed to cross into our *today's promised land,* have eaten our full and built goodly houses* and forgotten the reason for the upliftment.

    In the story of Lazarus,nowhere did Christ Jesus tagged the rich man an unbeliever or believer...just as we read it* a rich man*!
    But the unexpected upliftment got our heads swollen,that most of us thought it was our personal effort , setting up ourselves to fall into the snares laid by our enemy.

    23. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

    24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

    25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. (Luk 16: 23-25)

    What is prominent in that story,is the *GENERAL ATTITUDE OF THE AFFLUENT*!

    Many highly RESPECTED CLERICS have UNCONSCIOUSLY or SUBCONSCIOUSLY RELEGATED GOD'S INPUT to the BACKGROUND.
    They saw themselves deservedly selected for favour, while the seemingly unfavoured are counted as sinners or those displeasing to God.

    IN SIMPLER TERMS, MEN GET CARRIED AWAY,AFTER YIELDING TO THE TRAPPINGS OF THE WORLD...GOD WARNED US THAT SATAN IS CRAFTY AND SUBTLE;

    Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.... (Gen 3: 1)

    Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Mat 10: 16)

    And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Rev 12: 9)

    AND BECAUSE THOSE THAT GOD PICKED UP FOR THESE SPECIAL ROLES BECAUSE OF THE DAYS AHEAD , WHEN GOD WILL USE THEM TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE, FORGOT THE MANDATE :

    1. But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
    2. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. (Mic 4: 1-2)

    10. Bring ye all the tithes into the STOREHOUSE, that there may be MEAT in MINE HOUSE, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
    11. And I will REBUKE the devourer[THE ENEMY] for your sakes, and he shall not DESTROY the FRUITS of YOUR GROUND; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. (Mal 3: 10-11)

    AND INSTEAD MADE THEMSELVES DEMIGODS OVER THOSE THEY FELT WERE SUFFERING, FROLICKING AND FRATERNIZING WITH THOSE IN THE CORRIDORS OF WORLDLY POWER, THEY DEVIATED FROM GOD'S WORD AND APPROVAL AND ARE RESERVED FOR GOD'S WRATH AND JUDGEMENT (NO MATTER THE LONG AND TONGUE TWISTING TITLES THEY BARE) THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAVE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON GOD AND SETTING A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

    Thus, those of us who felt impatient and felt slighted by both God and man,that upon all our faithfulness, it seems we have been abandoned,and inspite of these several warnings,we still fall prey to the devil's antics of distraction AND CHOSE TO DINE WITH THE DEVIL AT WHATEVER COST... meanwhile this was the ultimate aim of our common enemy, and gladly obliged them, oftentimes hiding the consequences from them, and leaving them to discover and learn the hard way.

    13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

    14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

    15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (2Co 11: 13-15)

    Christ Jesus was no one's fool when HE warned, it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to make God's Kingdom (pastor or member,believer or unbeliever)!

    *THOSE WHO STARTED WELL ARE ENDING POORLY, BECAUSE OF HAVING TASTED *THE WORLD*! (FIRST BECOMING LAST AND VICE VERSA).
    THE BLESSINGS OF GOD DOESN'T ADD SORROW...THUS, IT'S NO LONGER OF GOD, WHEN BLESSINGS ARE CAUSING YOU TO MISS THE ROAD TO YOUR MAKER AND MASTER!

    Let's look at a funny but serious example;
    Many affluent clerics can give you a MIND BLOWING FIGURE of their exploits in philanthropy.

    But in their churches,are many who can't afford the school fees of the Church owned(Abi G.O owned) schools...the same with the medical facilities...AND MILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF NAIRA AND DOLLARS LIE dormant in their bank accounts.

    Many are sharing one room apartments,others entirely homeless,but their churches have ESTATES. IT ISN'T AS IF IT CAN BE DONE FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON...BUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR,CAN IT BE COMMENSURATE TO WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED? WHY BLAME POLITICIANS.

    Now,the fun is this,these clerics,when they were still at the bottom of the ladder, they were invoking passion and stirring emotions as they called,WHAT THEMSELVES ARE DOING NOW,*INJUSTICE*, but today, it's a little less injustice, I suppose.

    IN A NUTSHELL, MANY OF US CLERICS ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT TO ANSWER BEFORE GOD... BECAUSE WHEN THE BLESSINGS OF THE MANDATE CAME, OUR VISION AS KEEPERS OF GOD'S FLOCKS WAS BLURRED, OUR VALUES AND PRINCIPLES WERE TAMPERED WITH,BY THE CRAVINGS OF THE WORLD.

    REMEMBER;

    YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR HAND IN THE FIRE, WITHOUT GETTING BURNT,OR SCARRED EVEN!

    We serve a Merciful GOD... there's yet time,as we breathe...but is the willingness there?
    LIKE I BELIEVE WE AGREED,THERE ARE OTHER DISTRACTIVE TACTICS THE COMMON ENEMY IS USING TO DIVERT OUR ATTENTIOBUT, I JUST WANT US TO RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT GOD IS NOT AGAINST PROSPERITY, THAT HE, INFACT PROSPER THE CHURCH FOR A PURPOSE, FOR THE LAST DAYS THAT WILL HERALD CHRIST JESUS RETURN!

    BUT THE CHURCH LOST IT. HOWEVER GOD'S WORD MUST ALWAYS COME TO PASS, EVEN IF HE HAS TO CHANGE VESSELS AND METHODS. DO YOU (I) WANT TO BE CHANGED?

    The Syrian Army is pressing ahead with its operations to confront and expel foreign-backed terrorists from the country’s north and northwestern provinces. Reports on the ground say that the Syrian military backed by the Russian Air Force struck the terror groups in villages of Hazarin and Al-Raqeya in the southern countryside of the province of Idlib. Airstrikes also targeted positions of Al-Nusra Front Terror Group around Khan Sheikhoun south of Idlib and Morek in the northern countryside of Hama. The Syrian military says it has reinforced its defense lines with various means of fire, personnel and equipment in areas where clashes are underway with the terrorists. The army also says it’s managed to secure a number of areas including Ma’ardis. According to the Syrian media, nearly terrorists have been killed in three days of fighting. Clashes between the army and the terrorists erupted after attack theory groups, including al-Nusra Front, launched a surprise attack on northern and northwestern parts of Syria on Wednesday.

    And reactions and condemnations continue pouring in over the resurgence of foreign-backed terrorism in Syria. The Arab League has issued a statement stressing the need to respect the sovereignty and preserve the territorial integrity of Syria. League Secretary General Ahmed Abu Ghait expressed concerns over the continuous developments that Syria is witnessing and their impacts on civilians. In a phone call, the UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said the country stands with Syria and supports it in combating terrorism and unifying its territory. The Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudanian and Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein expressed their country’s support, saying that Syria’s security and stability are linked to Iraq’s national security. In a statement, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yivan Gil expressed country solidarity with the Syrian people and government, calling on the international community to condemn terrorist attacks in Syria.

    And now joining us at Saidiya, Morocco, is Dr. Kevin Barrett, editor at Veterans Today. Pleasure to have you on, Dr. Barrett. I hope you’re safe and doing well. What are we to make sure of this resurgence of terrorism in Syria, their objectives and their backers?

    Well, the first question is, why now? The timing is crucial to understanding what’s going on. And it’s obviously not a coincidence that this happened at exactly the same moment that the genocidal Zionist occupation entity is changing its focus from its unsuccessful war on Lebanon, in which it was forced to accept essentially a defeat, to a war on Syria. It’s now trying to take out the Lebanese people’s ability to defend themselves, which they did so successfully, by going into Syria and attacking Syria and trying to cut off any means that supporters of Lebanese independence will be able to use to help ensure that Hezbollah and the patriotic forces in Lebanon will be able to continue to defend themselves successfully in the future.

    So the Zionist entity attacked Syria. And at the same moment, these takfiri terrorists who are armed and supported by the Zionist entity’s backers in Washington, D.C., also attacked Syria. Clearly, this is a coordinated operation. It’s not only a response to the Zionists’ loss in their war on Lebanon, but it’s also an attempt to bring back the divide and conquer strategy to try to do something about the success that Chinese-backed and to some extent Russian-backed diplomacy has had in uniting the region against the Zionists. The leadership of the Gulf Arab regimes, which had been very pro-Zionist in the past, has awakened to the futility of accepting the Zionists as a permanent entity. They’ve seen this genocide. They know their people will never stand for that. And so they have gone along with these Chinese backed efforts to bring together the whole region in a kind of a peaceful settlement and solution to some of the smaller differences, which will allow the region to settle the big problem, which is this genocidal Zionist occupation of Palestine.

    And so the forces that don’t like that and that want to break the region apart and to turn the different countries against each other are panicking. That’s why they’re now trying to ramp up this war on Syria.

    But it’s not working. As we’ve seen, the leadership in all regional countries is standing strong. And let’s hope that Turkey wakes up and that the Turkish leadership realizes that this divide-and-conquer Oded Yinon strategy is aimed at them as well, and that Kurdish separatist extremists are going to be armed and turned against them in the same way that the Takfiri terrorists are being armed and turned against Syria.

    And it’s ironic you say that because we often hear so many regional countries, Dr. Barrett, always allude to that exact thing, that the Zionist entities’ actions in West Asia do nothing but perpetrate more destabilization, insecurity, and instability for everyone in the region.

    That’s right. That’s what it’s there to do. You know, there are conspiracy theories that might be true, like so many conspiracy theories, that in fact, the reason or one of the reasons that the West supports this seemingly completely counterproductive and out-of-control genocidal Zionist entity is precisely to create so many problems in the region that it will never be successful. That is, to prevent the region from finding ways to unite and to trade productively, to get more and more political and economic unity and to become a major player in the world.

    And so the forces that don’t want West Asia to succeed have conspired to implant this inherently genocidal Zionist entity right there in the heart of the region, in the Holy Land. It’s holy to the majority of the world’s population. It is holy to four billion Christians and Muslims, along with a few million Jews, a fraction of 1% of the Abrahamic monotheists, who all look to that Holy Land as kind of the heart of their culture and their heritage.

    And so by essentially destroying it and creating this Antichrist project in the Holy Land, they are sticking a dagger into the heart of West Asia. And the purpose of that is to try to ensure perpetual chaos and failure in West Asia. But the West Asian governments are starting to wake up to this, and I don’t think they’re going to continue to fall for this Oded-Yanon divide and conquer project for very long.

    And before we let you go really quick, the West’s ultimate objective when it comes to Syria—do you feel they’re still after regime change? And why, when the U.S. is already occupying parts of Syria and looting its natural resources, what is there left for the West in Syria?

    I don’t think the West believes that it’s going to succeed in imposing regime change on Syria. But I think that the so-called West, which is largely occupied by the Zionists— there’s an ideological consensus among perhaps almost half of the Zionist billionaires who control the West, people who are fanatically loyal to this bizarre Zionist occupation project—I don’t think that the West, the people who think about the strategic interest of the West (as opposed to fanatical Zionists) really believe that there is any realistic chance that they’re going to get that regime change in Syria that they thought they could get fifteen years ago.

    Instead, I think that they see this as a strategic move to try to cut off Syria from Lebanon, to increase the pressure on the resistance front, to increase pressure on Russia as Russia is on the brink of victory in Ukraine. Russia has also been a backer of the stability of the region and of the Syrian government.

    So I think they’re trying to increase pressure on their adversaries. And as I said earlier, they’re coordinating this move with the Zionist attack on Syria as the Zionists turn from Lebanon to Syria while they continue their genocide of Gaza.

And now joining us at Saidiya, Morocco, is Dr. Kevin Barrett, editor at Veterans Today. Pleasure to have you on, Dr. Barrett. I hope you’re safe and doing well. What are we to make sure of this resurgence of terrorism in Syria, their objectives and their backers? Well, the first question is, why now? The timing is crucial to understanding what’s going on. And it’s obviously not a coincidence that this happened at exactly the same moment that the genocidal Zionist occupation entity is changing its focus from its unsuccessful war on Lebanon, in which it was forced to accept essentially a defeat, to a war on Syria. It’s now trying to take out the Lebanese people’s ability to defend themselves, which they did so successfully, by going into Syria and attacking Syria and trying to cut off any means that supporters of Lebanese independence will be able to use to help ensure that Hezbollah and the patriotic forces in Lebanon will be able to continue to defend themselves successfully in the future. So the Zionist entity attacked Syria. And at the same moment, these takfiri terrorists who are armed and supported by the Zionist entity’s backers in Washington, D.C., also attacked Syria. Clearly, this is a coordinated operation. It’s not only a response to the Zionists’ loss in their war on Lebanon, but it’s also an attempt to bring back the divide and conquer strategy to try to do something about the success that Chinese-backed and to some extent Russian-backed diplomacy has had in uniting the region against the Zionists. The leadership of the Gulf Arab regimes, which had been very pro-Zionist in the past, has awakened to the futility of accepting the Zionists as a permanent entity. They’ve seen this genocide. They know their people will never stand for that. And so they have gone along with these Chinese backed efforts to bring together the whole region in a kind of a peaceful settlement and solution to some of the smaller differences, which will allow the region to settle the big problem, which is this genocidal Zionist occupation of Palestine. And so the forces that don’t like that and that want to break the region apart and to turn the different countries against each other are panicking. That’s why they’re now trying to ramp up this war on Syria. But it’s not working. As we’ve seen, the leadership in all regional countries is standing strong. And let’s hope that Turkey wakes up and that the Turkish leadership realizes that this divide-and-conquer Oded Yinon strategy is aimed at them as well, and that Kurdish separatist extremists are going to be armed and turned against them in the same way that the Takfiri terrorists are being armed and turned against Syria. And it’s ironic you say that because we often hear so many regional countries, Dr. Barrett, always allude to that exact thing, that the Zionist entities’ actions in West Asia do nothing but perpetrate more destabilization, insecurity, and instability for everyone in the region. That’s right. That’s what it’s there to do. You know, there are conspiracy theories that might be true, like so many conspiracy theories, that in fact, the reason or one of the reasons that the West supports this seemingly completely counterproductive and out-of-control genocidal Zionist entity is precisely to create so many problems in the region that it will never be successful. That is, to prevent the region from finding ways to unite and to trade productively, to get more and more political and economic unity and to become a major player in the world. And so the forces that don’t want West Asia to succeed have conspired to implant this inherently genocidal Zionist entity right there in the heart of the region, in the Holy Land. It’s holy to the majority of the world’s population. It is holy to four billion Christians and Muslims, along with a few million Jews, a fraction of 1% of the Abrahamic monotheists, who all look to that Holy Land as kind of the heart of their culture and their heritage. And so by essentially destroying it and creating this Antichrist project in the Holy Land, they are sticking a dagger into the heart of West Asia. And the purpose of that is to try to ensure perpetual chaos and failure in West Asia. But the West Asian governments are starting to wake up to this, and I don’t think they’re going to continue to fall for this Oded-Yanon divide and conquer project for very long. And before we let you go really quick, the West’s ultimate objective when it comes to Syria—do you feel they’re still after regime change? And why, when the U.S. is already occupying parts of Syria and looting its natural resources, what is there left for the West in Syria? I don’t think the West believes that it’s going to succeed in imposing regime change on Syria. But I think that the so-called West, which is largely occupied by the Zionists— there’s an ideological consensus among perhaps almost half of the Zionist billionaires who control the West, people who are fanatically loyal to this bizarre Zionist occupation project—I don’t think that the West, the people who think about the strategic interest of the West (as opposed to fanatical Zionists) really believe that there is any realistic chance that they’re going to get that regime change in Syria that they thought they could get fifteen years ago. Instead, I think that they see this as a strategic move to try to cut off Syria from Lebanon, to increase the pressure on the resistance front, to increase pressure on Russia as Russia is on the brink of victory in Ukraine. Russia has also been a backer of the stability of the region and of the Syrian government. So I think they’re trying to increase pressure on their adversaries. And as I said earlier, they’re coordinating this move with the Zionist attack on Syria as the Zionists turn from Lebanon to Syria while they continue their genocide of Gaza.

    The Syrian Army is pressing ahead with its operations to confront and expel foreign-backed terrorists from the country’s north and northwestern provinces. Reports on the ground say that the Syrian military backed by the Russian Air Force struck the terror groups in villages of Hazarin and Al-Raqeya in the southern countryside of the province of Idlib. Airstrikes also targeted positions of Al-Nusra Front Terror Group around Khan Sheikhoun south of Idlib and Morek in the northern countryside of Hama. The Syrian military says it has reinforced its defense lines with various means of fire, personnel and equipment in areas where clashes are underway with the terrorists. The army also says it’s managed to secure a number of areas including Ma’ardis. According to the Syrian media, nearly terrorists have been killed in three days of fighting. Clashes between the army and the terrorists erupted after attack theory groups, including al-Nusra Front, launched a surprise attack on northern and northwestern parts of Syria on Wednesday.

    And reactions and condemnations continue pouring in over the resurgence of foreign-backed terrorism in Syria. The Arab League has issued a statement stressing the need to respect the sovereignty and preserve the territorial integrity of Syria. League Secretary General Ahmed Abu Ghait expressed concerns over the continuous developments that Syria is witnessing and their impacts on civilians. In a phone call, the UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said the country stands with Syria and supports it in combating terrorism and unifying its territory. The Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudanian and Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein expressed their country’s support, saying that Syria’s security and stability are linked to Iraq’s national security. In a statement, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yivan Gil expressed country solidarity with the Syrian people and government, calling on the international community to condemn terrorist attacks in Syria.

  • PASTORS' MISREPRESENTATION OF GOD...A VERY GRAVE AND STAID CHALLENGE TO THE BODY OF CHRIST !

    We just had a go at this a few days ago,but I HAD A COMPELLING BURDEN TO RE-EMPHASIZE IT AGAIN, because of its huge negatively damaging impact on us as believers.

    And that is,there are many things THAT GOD IS NOT, THAT PASTORS MAKE MEMBERS BELIEVE HE IS.
    Yes,people believe certain things about God because that’s what they’ve always been told...or because they want them to be true.

    But eventually, plodding through the mud of life, they discover the truth: That all they were promised by self serving men and women brandishing Bibles,who titled themselves pastors, weren't as they seemed. And then their faith crumble,being laid on a faulty foundation.

    For example;

    Christ Jesus,never became poor that you may be rich in worldly or mundane materials. What amount to riches in the Bible is at variance with the world's definition of riches. For instance;

    God is not opposed to personal monetary wealth. Many prominent Bible characters were quite well-to-do, including Abraham, Job, Joseph, and Solomon. But God is concerned that we view riches from His perspective;

    7. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
    8. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
    9. Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. (Pro 30: 7-9)
    ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT THE WRITER OF THE WORDS ABOVE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MONEY?
    And even at that ,this man wasn't yet born, when Christ Jesus warned about riches;

    23. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
    24. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (Mat 19: 23-24)

    Many will think Christ Jesus hates the rich...no..not at all! Rather,He was referring to the self importance ,self dependency and pride that much wealth brings to an individual as orchestrated by the demon that the devil attached to money called mammon. In previous studies,we have learned about the camel and needle's eye.

    Wealthy men and women are often miserable. Their bank accounts may be overflowing but their souls are impoverished. Biblical wealth may be defined as the ability to experience and enjoy God’s blessings. The poor individual who knows God as Savior has indescribable wealth compared to the rich one who rejects Him. Friendship, godly wisdom, and a happy home are invaluable.

    “Do not overwork to be rich; . . . will you set your eyes on that which is not?” (Proverbs 23:4, 5).

    “Better is a little with righteousness, than vast revenues without justice” (Proverbs 16:8).

    “Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all” (1 Chronicles 29:12).

    You see,the biblically wealthy individual may be rich or poor according to the world’s standards. Regardless, he or she knows that wealth is not measured by money. God is the source of all riches, and we are called to the noble task of managing God’s gracious gifts.

    In prayers for healing,our pastors make it look like it's a must and equally our inalienable right to be healed by God,when praying for healing. This also isn't true. God decides when,how,and who He heals, according to His purpose for us.

    If He is obligated to heal everybody,the purpose of death on this side of eternity would be defeated,for none will die. Rather,He decides when healing will bring glory to His Name and when Silence is His choice.

    In situations like that,it isn't because we are sinners or in unchristian...He is only working His purpose out. His cousin,*John the Baptist* had to send people to Him,to ascertain if he (John)made an error)!

    He allowed Lazarus to die. When Christ remained in the grave for three days,His disciples must have assumed they had wasted three years of their lives following a wrong Messiah.

    The most painful part now is that, it's worsening each day that passes by. We are at the point where the various congregations READ THEIR PASTORS, INSTEAD OF THEIR BIBLES...YES,MOST MEMBERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO OPEN THEIR BIBLES,WHEN ASKED TO,THEIR PASTOR IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

    A member dies,and the first thing done is to check his records if the dead is owing the church,e.g tithes and projects, made irrelevant demands on the family.. like one that asked the family to buy a hundred white plastic chairs and they

    THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS, RITUALS AND RITES INTRODUCED INTO THE DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND DENOMINATIONS,THAT AREN'T FROM GOD...THESE ARE JUST A FEW FOR A CASE STUDY.

    PLEASE, ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR BIBLE FOR TEACHINGS YOU AREN'T CONVERSANT WITH.

    These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Act 17: 11)

    Amen!

Yes,people believe certain things about God because that’s what they’ve always been told...or because they want them to be true. But eventually, plodding through the mud of life, they discover the truth: That all they were promised by self serving men and women brandishing Bibles,who titled themselves pastors, weren't as they seemed. And then their faith crumble,being laid on a faulty foundation. For example; Christ Jesus,never became poor that you may be rich in worldly or mundane materials. What amount to riches in the Bible is at variance with the world's definition of riches. For instance; God is not opposed to personal monetary wealth. Many prominent Bible characters were quite well-to-do, including Abraham, Job, Joseph, and Solomon. But God is concerned that we view riches from His perspective; 7. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: 8. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: 9. Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. (Pro 30: 7-9) ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT THE WRITER OF THE WORDS ABOVE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MONEY? And even at that ,this man wasn't yet born, when Christ Jesus warned about riches; 23. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (Mat 19: 23-24) Many will think Christ Jesus hates the rich...no..not at all! Rather,He was referring to the self importance ,self dependency and pride that much wealth brings to an individual as orchestrated by the demon that the devil attached to money called mammon. In previous studies,we have learned about the camel and needle's eye. Wealthy men and women are often miserable. Their bank accounts may be overflowing but their souls are impoverished. Biblical wealth may be defined as the ability to experience and enjoy God’s blessings. The poor individual who knows God as Savior has indescribable wealth compared to the rich one who rejects Him. Friendship, godly wisdom, and a happy home are invaluable. “Do not overwork to be rich; . . . will you set your eyes on that which is not?” (Proverbs 23:4, 5). “Better is a little with righteousness, than vast revenues without justice” (Proverbs 16:8). “Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all” (1 Chronicles 29:12). You see,the biblically wealthy individual may be rich or poor according to the world’s standards. Regardless, he or she knows that wealth is not measured by money. God is the source of all riches, and we are called to the noble task of managing God’s gracious gifts. In prayers for healing,our pastors make it look like it's a must and equally our inalienable right to be healed by God,when praying for healing. This also isn't true. God decides when,how,and who He heals, according to His purpose for us. If He is obligated to heal everybody,the purpose of death on this side of eternity would be defeated,for none will die. Rather,He decides when healing will bring glory to His Name and when Silence is His choice. In situations like that,it isn't because we are sinners or in unchristian...He is only working His purpose out. His cousin,*John the Baptist* had to send people to Him,to ascertain if he (John)made an error)! He allowed Lazarus to die. When Christ remained in the grave for three days,His disciples must have assumed they had wasted three years of their lives following a wrong Messiah. The most painful part now is that, it's worsening each day that passes by. We are at the point where the various congregations READ THEIR PASTORS, INSTEAD OF THEIR BIBLES...YES,MOST MEMBERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO OPEN THEIR BIBLES,WHEN ASKED TO,THEIR PASTOR IS ALWAYS RIGHT. A member dies,and the first thing done is to check his records if the dead is owing the church,e.g tithes and projects, made irrelevant demands on the family.. like one that asked the family to buy a hundred white plastic chairs and they THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS, RITUALS AND RITES INTRODUCED INTO THE DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND DENOMINATIONS,THAT AREN'T FROM GOD...THESE ARE JUST A FEW FOR A CASE STUDY. PLEASE, ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR BIBLE FOR TEACHINGS YOU AREN'T CONVERSANT WITH. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Act 17: 11) Amen🙏!

    DNA Never Lies

    By Garcia Wilde

    After suffering almost-mortal PR hits for more than a year, Israel is now further hammered by three shiny nails.

    A John Hopkins Genetic Study has concluded that 97.5% of the “Judaica” living in the Zionist settlement known as Israel have no connection to the ancient Hebrews and neither do they have blood ties to ancient Israel. The study also pointed out that 80% of Palestinians carry ancient Hebrew DNA and blood.

    Another study (New York Genome Centre, 2021) revealed that the DNA of modern Palestinians matches that of Bronze Age people who lived in the Holy Land around 2500-1700 BCE.

    A third study (John Hopkins School of Public Health) strongly backed the Khazarian Hypothesis, as opposed to the Rhineland Hypothesis of European Jewish (Ashkenazi) origin. The mendacious Rhineland Hypothesis claims European Jews descend from Israelite-Canaanite tribes who left Palestine for Europe when the Arabs conquered Palestine in the 7th Century. In the 15th century, some of these 50,000 Jews left Germany for the East. Although they were persecuted and denied economic opportunities in Eastern Europe, they somehow multiplied to 8 million in the 20th century. Such an incredible increase in their numbers would probably mean 12-member families generation after generation. This ridiculous fable is promoted by a number of Jewish professors as history. Incidentally, what happened to the Canaanites (traditional enemies of the Jews because Abraham grabbed their homeland) who were supposedly fellow-travelers of the Palestine Jews?

    The above fairy tale is shattered by the far more credible Khazarian Hypothesis. That hypothesis says Khazars were a confederation of Turkish tribes who lived north of the Caucasus, between the Black and Caspian seas. They were a powerful presence from the 7th to the 9th century. A warlike people, they often attacked the neighboring lands. When the Khazars were at their height of power and influence they decided to change their religion and convert en masse to Christianity or Islam or to Judaism. They eventually opted for Judaism. A few centuries later, when the Khazars were attacked by Mongol invaders, they rushed to Eastern Europe. Because they adhered to Judaism, they were identified as Jews by Eastern Europeans. The descendants of these Khazars (mostly from Ukraine, Poland, and Russia) founded Zionism, settled (1918-1948) in Palestine with the active but illegal support of the British and despite the justified opposition of the indigenous Palestinians. It’s these Turkic Khazars who established the Israeli colonial state in 1948 and have governed it since. More than fifty years ago, writer Arthur Koestler (Hungarian Jew) advanced the Khazarian Hypothesis in his best-selling The Thirteenth Tribe.

    If the conclusions of the above studies are science based (there is no reason to doubt the professionalism of their research and the veracity of their conclusions), it means that since Oct. 7, 2023, the Khazar-Turks (Israelis) have killed around 200,000 Jews (Palestinians) and wounded an unaccounted number of Jewish civilians in addition destroying Gaza and expanding their illegal settlements in the West Bank. Perhaps that is the reason Erdogan, the blowhard leader of Turkey, continues to sell vital oil to the Israeli Defense Forces and exports goods to Greece which are surreptitiously destined for Israel.

    VERSIONE IN ITALIANO

    “I am the 47th president, we have made history.” With this announcement Donald Trump jubilantly showed up just before reaching 270 Grand Electors: at the last count he obtained 277.

    Breaking Update here – Kremlin names Two Reasons Preventing Putin from Congratulating Trump

    “Game, set and match”. This was instead written by Elon Musk on X, billionaire founder of Tesla and owner of the former social platform Twitter, while the vote counting with Trump continued.

    Victory of the Zionist Axis against the Biden-Harris Liberticides

    The victory of the Republican candidate Trump is the triumph of the “teatro-cracy” theorized by Plato: that is, the government of the scenic representation in which the New York tycoon has been able to be a master, even exploiting the failed public debate with his Democratic rival for the White House (Kamala Harris) to his advantage, accusing her and the journalists of NBC News of bias.

    VANCE & TRUMP… Two Hard Zionists for Ongoing Israeli Genocide in Gaza

    His success is a regurgitation of US freedom against the business-oriented and liberticidal administration of Biden-Harris who, with the imposition of mandatory vaccines and the censorship of every voice of dissent on the pandemic emergency, managed to make people forget even that the Covid gene serums were financed by Trump’s own Warp Speed ​​project and that it was he who imposed masks and lockdowns on the advice of virologist Anthony Fauci.

    Although he had defined him as “a man of the Deep State”, the Deep State of international intrigues today identifiable with the New World Order.

    “White House’s Pressure on Meta to Censor SARS-Cov-2 Lab Leak Theory”. Zuckerberg email disclosed

    But if Trump won he must thank one of the main components of the NWO: the Zionist Lobby to which he has always shown himself devoted and which supported him in the electoral campaign through two of its prominent members such as the billionaire Elon Musk and his Pentagon partner James David Vance.

    Precisely the choice of Vance as the vice-presidential candidate, a conservative exponent of the Grand Old Party (the Republicans), materialized in the aftermath of the July 13, 2024 attack in Butler, Pennsylvania as if it were a clear coded message of assent to the Deep State…

    The Role of Vice President Vance intrigued with the Pentagon

    Precisely the role of Vance, a self-styled Catholic who however defends the right of Israelis to genocide in Palestine, could be the discriminant capable of making the difference between a Trumpian reenactment of MAGA (Make American Great Again) now clouded by the imprisonment of its ideologue Steve Bannon and an exuberant administration but still grateful for the funding of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee).

    SHADY AFFAIRS of TRUMP’s VP alongside PENTAGON-CIA’s Globalists of Ukrainian Bio-Labs. Vance Partner of Biodefense Trust funded by Fauci for Moderna Vaccine

    In this sense, the 47th President of the United States of America risks becoming a gigantic photocopy of the Government of Giorgia Meloni in Italy: an extremist executive on national security policies (such as immigration) and totally complicit in the enormous speculations of the Arms Lobby in wars and of Big Pharma in health strategies in view of new announced pandemics.

    Precisely the two war scenarios that Trump will have to face will be the indicator of his effective “slavery towards the Deep State”, if you will.

    New COVID WAVE “PLANNED”? BioNTech is Expecting Pandemic-Level Vaccine Sales in Autumn…

    The Infamous Legacy of the Conflicts in Ukraine and the Holy Land

    The conflicts in Ukraine and the Holy Land (Palestine, Lebanon and Syria), in fact, are infamous legacies of a long-standing strategy of the New World Order that is no longer even managed by Washington but by Langley, headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency in Virginia, from where in the distant 1983 the plot to attack Syria and start the subsequent Arab Springs began.

    Intel Reminder. CIA TOP SECRET FILE: US WAR IN SYRIA PLANNED SINCE 1983

    The same must also be said for the conflict in Ukraine.

    It is an evolution of the Civil War in Donbass that began with the 2014 coup that was prepared long after the Kiev Security Forum of 2007 in which the then American president George Walker Bush participated together with many exponents of the Zionist Lobbies who, not by chance, have brought a secular Zionist like Volodymyr Zelensky to the leadership of Ukraine today.

    The Ukrainian president has become a full-fledged hitman for NATO and George Soros (who orchestrated the 2014 regime change), so much so that he was capable of having one of his own delegates killed for the peace negotiations with Russia a few weeks after the start of Moscow’s special military operation to stop the genocide of pro-Russians in the country.

    Exclusive! NEW NATO CHIEF: A SOROS’ FRIEND WHO FUNDED KIEV COUP. Ex Dutch PM Rutte Supported LGBTQ against Pedophilia Ban in EU

    In his election campaign, Trump aired his commitment to ending the war between Moscow and Kiev, but some of his close collaborators, such as Mike Pompeo, have instead released his own military plan to continue it, so much so as to induce the Kremlin to not have much hope for a change of direction.

    It should also be remembered that when in 2016 President Trump tried to block 400 million dollars in military aid destined for Kiev, Congress impeached him with the obvious little hands of the American sergeant majors stirring in the torpid.

    Kremlin on Ukraine War: “Russia has no illusions about Trump”. Putin’s Spokesman Reactions to Pompeo’s WSJ Article

    This is why the most obvious risk is that the new US administration will focus on national economic policies and will pay little or no attention to the ongoing conflicts, allowing them to proceed by inertia until the risk of a nuclear conflict that could be favored by the United Kingdom and the European Union, by virtue of the historic international alliance between Rothschild, Rockefeller, Soros and Gates…

    The thorniest issue remains that of the genocide of the Israeli Army of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Palestine, which is also spreading to Lebanon.

    Trump’s Alliance with the Genocide Netanyahu

    Trump in his previous administration showed total acquiescence towards the Zionist leader by legitimizing the military protection of the Golan Heights (taken from Syria by Israel) despite a UN resolution that ordered their immediate release.

    “Israel must leave the Golan”. The UN’s slap against Trump and Bibi-Briberies

    He ordered the move of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (2020) and ordered the killing with a US Air Force drone of Qasem Soleimani, the general commander of the Iranian Quds Forces of the Guards of the Islamic Republic who helped Syria defeat the terrorists of ISIS.

    In the same attack, on January 3, 2020 in Baghdad, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was also killed, the head of the Iraqi Shiite Popular Mobilization Forces who for years have accused the caliph Al Baghdadi founder of the Islamic State of having been a CIA and Mossad agent (Israeli counterintelligence).

    AL BAGHDADI: ISIS CALIPH AND MOSSAD-CIA AGENT HIDDEN BY US

    This is why his arrival at the White House will certainly be seen as a harbinger of new tensions in the Middle East by Iran and its allies.

    In this context, not only the role of Vance, who will be the point of reference for an international business committee with the Pentagon, but also that of Elon Musk will have a significant weight.

    Elon Musk’s IT Challenge to Bill Gates

    Billionaire and founder of Space X, Elon Musk “could be the biggest winner of a second Trump term” in the White House.

    This is what ‘Nbc News’ wrote in a portrait of the Tesla CEO in which it is emphasized that Musk “and his business empire could reap enormous rewards” from a return of the former US president to the White House.

    Project Syndicate funded by Soros, Gates and McKinsey to Promote Ukraine War as Rockefeller Council on Foreign Relations

    For the IT tycoon of South African origins but naturalized American, there is a big challenge at stake against his rival Bill Gates, a megadonor of the Democrats, who has polarized Microsoft’s artificial intelligence both in the field of NATO military technologies (see the DIANA project in Turin) and in the health sector through his NGOs for global immunization linked to the WHO.

    It is clear that with the help of Trump and his supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (who had also attempted to endorse Biden and Harris but was not taken into consideration), Musk could prove to be a crucial antagonist of Gates’ military and health policies, now a point of reference both in Italy and in the EU.

    WUHAN-GATES – 77. Biden’s US GOVT, EU are PAYING Scientists to HIDE SARS-Cov-2 Man-Made BioWeapon

    But it remains to be seen what positions Vance will have, who has millionaire interests, through Battell, a giant of the Pentagon’s contractors, precisely with the bacteriological laboratories controlled all over the world by the CIA.

    Three Conservative Catholics against Transgenderism

    Certainly the collaboration between three conservative Catholics like Trump, Vance and RFK Jr. can represent a new course capable of curbing the abortion drift and transgender policies on minors, denounced as an abomination also by Musk.

    But it will remain to be seen whether their ties with the Zionist Lobby will not prevail over their Christian aspirations.

    Elon Musk demands Life in Prison for Child Sex-Change Defending DeSantis Bans in Florida

    This is why the new Republican president will first have to prove that he is not a puppet of the New World Order, as Italian Prime Minister Meloni has become in the space of a year after her affiliation with Rockefeller’s think tanks.

    In fact, she has chosen to be one of the “Pawns in the Game”, like those described in his book by the Commodore of the Canadian Navy William James Guy Carr in which he traces the birth and war objectives of the NWO.

    FREEMASONRY & ZIONISM – 1. Apocalyptic “Cataclysms” by Synagogue of Satan: Genocides in Palestine & Plotted Pandemic for Lethal Vaccines.

    On the other hand, Trump himself cannot prove too inconvenient to the Deep State, already considered at the origin of his UkraineGate impeachment by a former director of the CIA, in order to avoid ending up like Abraham Lincoln and JFK, killed in mysterious attacks and replaced by their Freemason deputies…

    The fact that he has a vice president so close to the “Deep State” at his side makes these dark plots that have governed the political world for decades practicable at any time due to the increasingly close ties between Freemasonry and Zionism.

SHADY AFFAIRS of TRUMP’s VP alongside PENTAGON-CIA’s Globalists of Ukrainian Bio-Labs. Vance Partner of Biodefense Trust funded by Fauci for Moderna Vaccine In this sense, the 47th President of the United States of America risks becoming a gigantic photocopy of the Government of Giorgia Meloni in Italy: an extremist executive on national security policies (such as immigration) and totally complicit in the enormous speculations of the Arms Lobby in wars and of Big Pharma in health strategies in view of new announced pandemics. Precisely the two war scenarios that Trump will have to face will be the indicator of his effective “slavery towards the Deep State”, if you will. New COVID WAVE “PLANNED”? BioNTech is Expecting Pandemic-Level Vaccine Sales in Autumn… The Infamous Legacy of the Conflicts in Ukraine and the Holy Land The conflicts in Ukraine and the Holy Land (Palestine, Lebanon and Syria), in fact, are infamous legacies of a long-standing strategy of the New World Order that is no longer even managed by Washington but by Langley, headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency in Virginia, from where in the distant 1983 the plot to attack Syria and start the subsequent Arab Springs began. Intel Reminder. CIA TOP SECRET FILE: US WAR IN SYRIA PLANNED SINCE 1983 The same must also be said for the conflict in Ukraine. It is an evolution of the Civil War in Donbass that began with the 2014 coup that was prepared long after the Kiev Security Forum of 2007 in which the then American president George Walker Bush participated together with many exponents of the Zionist Lobbies who, not by chance, have brought a secular Zionist like Volodymyr Zelensky to the leadership of Ukraine today. The Ukrainian president has become a full-fledged hitman for NATO and George Soros (who orchestrated the 2014 regime change), so much so that he was capable of having one of his own delegates killed for the peace negotiations with Russia a few weeks after the start of Moscow’s special military operation to stop the genocide of pro-Russians in the country. Exclusive! NEW NATO CHIEF: A SOROS’ FRIEND WHO FUNDED KIEV COUP. Ex Dutch PM Rutte Supported LGBTQ against Pedophilia Ban in EU In his election campaign, Trump aired his commitment to ending the war between Moscow and Kiev, but some of his close collaborators, such as Mike Pompeo, have instead released his own military plan to continue it, so much so as to induce the Kremlin to not have much hope for a change of direction. It should also be remembered that when in 2016 President Trump tried to block 400 million dollars in military aid destined for Kiev, Congress impeached him with the obvious little hands of the American sergeant majors stirring in the torpid. Kremlin on Ukraine War: “Russia has no illusions about Trump”. Putin’s Spokesman Reactions to Pompeo’s WSJ Article This is why the most obvious risk is that the new US administration will focus on national economic policies and will pay little or no attention to the ongoing conflicts, allowing them to proceed by inertia until the risk of a nuclear conflict that could be favored by the United Kingdom and the European Union, by virtue of the historic international alliance between Rothschild, Rockefeller, Soros and Gates… The thorniest issue remains that of the genocide of the Israeli Army of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Palestine, which is also spreading to Lebanon. Trump’s Alliance with the Genocide Netanyahu Trump in his previous administration showed total acquiescence towards the Zionist leader by legitimizing the military protection of the Golan Heights (taken from Syria by Israel) despite a UN resolution that ordered their immediate release. “Israel must leave the Golan”. The UN’s slap against Trump and Bibi-Briberies He ordered the move of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (2020) and ordered the killing with a US Air Force drone of Qasem Soleimani, the general commander of the Iranian Quds Forces of the Guards of the Islamic Republic who helped Syria defeat the terrorists of ISIS. In the same attack, on January 3, 2020 in Baghdad, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was also killed, the head of the Iraqi Shiite Popular Mobilization Forces who for years have accused the caliph Al Baghdadi founder of the Islamic State of having been a CIA and Mossad agent (Israeli counterintelligence). AL BAGHDADI: ISIS CALIPH AND MOSSAD-CIA AGENT HIDDEN BY US This is why his arrival at the White House will certainly be seen as a harbinger of new tensions in the Middle East by Iran and its allies. In this context, not only the role of Vance, who will be the point of reference for an international business committee with the Pentagon, but also that of Elon Musk will have a significant weight. Elon Musk’s IT Challenge to Bill Gates Billionaire and founder of Space X, Elon Musk “could be the biggest winner of a second Trump term” in the White House. This is what ‘Nbc News’ wrote in a portrait of the Tesla CEO in which it is emphasized that Musk “and his business empire could reap enormous rewards” from a return of the former US president to the White House. Project Syndicate funded by Soros, Gates and McKinsey to Promote Ukraine War as Rockefeller Council on Foreign Relations For the IT tycoon of South African origins but naturalized American, there is a big challenge at stake against his rival Bill Gates, a megadonor of the Democrats, who has polarized Microsoft’s artificial intelligence both in the field of NATO military technologies (see the DIANA project in Turin) and in the health sector through his NGOs for global immunization linked to the WHO. It is clear that with the help of Trump and his supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (who had also attempted to endorse Biden and Harris but was not taken into consideration), Musk could prove to be a crucial antagonist of Gates’ military and health policies, now a point of reference both in Italy and in the EU. WUHAN-GATES – 77. Biden’s US GOVT, EU are PAYING Scientists to HIDE SARS-Cov-2 Man-Made BioWeapon But it remains to be seen what positions Vance will have, who has millionaire interests, through Battell, a giant of the Pentagon’s contractors, precisely with the bacteriological laboratories controlled all over the world by the CIA. Three Conservative Catholics against Transgenderism Certainly the collaboration between three conservative Catholics like Trump, Vance and RFK Jr. can represent a new course capable of curbing the abortion drift and transgender policies on minors, denounced as an abomination also by Musk. But it will remain to be seen whether their ties with the Zionist Lobby will not prevail over their Christian aspirations. Elon Musk demands Life in Prison for Child Sex-Change Defending DeSantis Bans in Florida This is why the new Republican president will first have to prove that he is not a puppet of the New World Order, as Italian Prime Minister Meloni has become in the space of a year after her affiliation with Rockefeller’s think tanks. In fact, she has chosen to be one of the “Pawns in the Game”, like those described in his book by the Commodore of the Canadian Navy William James Guy Carr in which he traces the birth and war objectives of the NWO. FREEMASONRY & ZIONISM – 1. Apocalyptic “Cataclysms” by Synagogue of Satan: Genocides in Palestine & Plotted Pandemic for Lethal Vaccines. On the other hand, Trump himself cannot prove too inconvenient to the Deep State, already considered at the origin of his UkraineGate impeachment by a former director of the CIA, in order to avoid ending up like Abraham Lincoln and JFK, killed in mysterious attacks and replaced by their Freemason deputies… The fact that he has a vice president so close to the “Deep State” at his side makes these dark plots that have governed the political world for decades practicable at any time due to the increasingly close ties between Freemasonry and Zionism.

  • HIS WORD ABOVE HIS NAME (PS.138:2)

    DOES GOD REALLY MAKE WORLDLY PROSPERITY A PRIORITY IN A WORLD HE ALLOWS SATAN TO CONTROL?

    For those in our various families and groups, we have heard a lot about this subject, from which I received many expletives including jealous and envious.

    This morning,I listened to Bishop Oyedepo asking us to be humble to learn from Christ Jesus as everyone is still learning. It was followed by his most faithful Abioye declaring at Paul Enenche's dome, apparently on invitation to LIVE PROSPERITY PREACHERS ALONE.

    I'm not obligated to be believed that hot tears rolled down my cheeks. I don't stand here to say I'm as good as anyone,how much more than them. After all, I literally beg to survive (a beggar) *BUT HAVING EQUAL RIGHTS AS CUSTODIANS OF GOD'S WORD,I FELT THE URGE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AGAIN.*

    Are the bishops actually humbling themselves to learn from our Lord and Savior or Christ Jesus, the rightful Owner of the WORK humbling Himself to learn from them, HIS OWN MESSENGERS. For instance, Christ Jesus NEVER for ONCE referred to His Birth nor any record of Him attending a birthday party. But on His Death,He gave specifics...DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME. The only two birthdays recorded in the Bible ended in gruesome deaths, and if you read of the practice in those ages,you will understand why. The wisest and richest human ever said;
    A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. (Ecc 7: 1) Let's not talk about those that cursed the day of their birth, lest we digress.
    NOW,IS CHRIST JESUS HUMBLING HIMSELF TO LEARN FROM THEM ...I SHOULD THINK SO, EXCEPT THEY REVERSED THE TREND.

    *WE SHOULDN'T DIGRESS FROM THE CAUSE OF MY PAINS AND PAST INSULTS*


    What does the Bible say about needs and wants?Are we truly discerning essentials from desires?
    WHERE IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE DOES GOD'S WORD PRIORITIZE PROSPERITY ABOVE SAVING OF LOST SOULS?

    The Bible guides us in distinguishing NEEDS from WANTS, urging TRUST in GOD for ESSENTIALS and CAUTIONING AGAINST GREED. It's a CALL to PRIORITIZE SPIRITUAL OVER MATERIAL WEALTH.
    I am of the view that till today, many (ESPECIALLY PROSPERITY PREACHERS) do not know why *Archbishop Benson Idahosa* suddenly left the scene without the fulfillment of his God given mandate. I will end that one there until required.

    The Bible differentiates between needs and wants by emphasizing trust in God to provide for our needs. Philippians 4:19 says, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus," encouraging reliance on God rather than pursuing excessive desires.

    Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.
    Hebrews 13:5

    But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
    Matthew 6:33

    I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START OR HOW LONG THIS WILL TAKE. BECAUSE THE DEVIL HAS APPOINTED ONE OF HIS FALLEN ANGELS (DEMON CALLED MAMMON) TO USE THE LOVE OF MONEY TO DISTRACT MANY PREACHERS AND HEARERS FROM GOD'S TRUE WORD.

    The Bible emphasizes God’s provision for our needs and advises discernment regarding our wants.
    Prayer is highlighted as a means to communicate with God about our true necessities.
    Scriptures encourage contentment and warn against the love of money.
    offering biblical insights into recognizing God's hand in meeting our needs and guiding us to let go of unnecessary wants.

    A preacher once challenged listeners to consider what they truly need, encouraging a lifestyle that reflects BIBLICAL values of STEWARDSHIP and SIMPLICITY over CONSUMERISM and ACCUMULATION OF MATERIAL WANTS.

    UNDERSTANDING NEEDS AND WANTS IN BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ! (MATT.6:19-

    The distinction between NEEDS and WANTS is addressed in biblical texts. The Scriptures guide believers to differentiate between essential needs and less critical wants.

    Biblically, needs refer to essential requirements for survival and well-being, such as food, clothing, and shelter. BUT, FIRST OF ALL, WE MUST HAVE THE MINDSET THAT GOD TOOK HIS MIND AWAY FROM THIS WORLD AFTER THE GREAT FALL OF MAN. ALSO KNOW THE EARTH IS STILL GOD'S OWN, BUT THE WORLD (SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT) IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE DEVIL.

    And that God has rejected,and because He knows it would happen immediately switched over to the provisions He has made for it;
    And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Gen 3: 15)

    AND THIS IS WHERE MOST OF US ARE GETTING WRONG. SOME OF US THINK ALL THE PROMISES GOD MADE WERE FOR THIS WORLD THAT GOD HAS REJECTED....NO,NO AND NO AGAIN;
    1. Now faith is the substance of things
    hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
    2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. (Heb 11: 1-2)

    These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. (Heb 11: 13)

    BY THE TIME WE'RE THROUGH WITH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEEDS AND WANTS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT ABRAHAM AND THE REST SURVIVED ON*NEEDS*, NOT THE FORM OF PROSPERITY,WE HAVE MADE OUR MESSAGE AND gODs TODAY.

    Having said that, WANTS may include items or experiences that are desired but not essential. The Bible discerns that WANTS can lead to DISSATISFACTION and UNREST, as reflected in the Psalm of David, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1).

    Without the need of quoting many scriptures,we saw how Abraham,had his NEEDS met and how a WANT (Ishmael) became a thorn in the flesh of the world today,as orchestrated by the devil. Or is Isaac who WANTED bush meat and Rebecca using it to put division between two twins and Jacob paying heavily for it,or Lot greedily choosing Sodom and Gomorrah. WANTS has always been a chain that the devil had continuously used in setting traps throughout the Old Testament. Imagine David and Bathsheba, Solomon's adventure into more knowledge and wisdom and more women.ALL NEEDS WERE MET,BUT THEY WANTED MORE. AND AT APPROPRIATE TIME, CHRIST CAME TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.We shall return with more on this

  • Israel’s Air Defense and the Weakness of the U.S. Navy. “Damage Control Project” of Commander of the U.S. Naval Forces

    These lines were written on CNN, the voice of the Democratic Party close to the US neocons, at a time when US President Biden announced that he had not yet received a guarantee that Israel would not target nuclear facilities in a possible counter-attack on Iran. This is clearly an expression of the US being held hostage by Netanyahu.

    In this case, we can say that the world is under Israel’s mortgage until the US presidential elections on November 5, 2024. If Iran’s nuclear facilities are hit, it goes without saying that this crisis will grow very large and humanity will face multi-dimensional crises. It is possible to say that this situation will bring about the collapse of the US faster than the collapse of the Roman Empire.

    Iran’s Attack on Selected Targets on October 1

    After Iran’s attack on Israel with around 300 missiles and drones on April 14, 2024, the second attack with 180 ballistic missiles on October 1, 2024 revealed the serious vulnerabilities of Israel’s air defense system again. The strategic Nevatim and Hatzerim air bases were hit in this attack. Today, Israel has a progressive air defense system supported by the US. The Iron Dome Low Altitude Air Defense System; the David’s Sling Medium/High-Altitude Ballistic Missile Defense System and the Arrow 2/3 High Altitude Ballistic Missile Defense System operate in conjunction with the central command and control system (IMDO). This system is also supported by the American Patriot and THAAD systems and the high precision and range X-band radars located in the Necef Desert, Keren and Kürecik Malatya.

    .

    .

    US Navy and Israeli Air Defense

    The Pentagon announced that 81 UAVs and 6 ballistic missiles were shot down by American air defense efforts in the April 14 attack. Following the October 1 attack, the Pentagon announced that a dozen of the 180 missiles were shot down by two of the three American destroyers in the Mediterranean (USS Bulkeley and USS Cole).

    Four of these ships, which have the Arleigh Burke class SM 3 high altitude ballistic missile defense system, are permanently stationed at the US naval base in Cadiz/Rota, Spain. These ships are dynamically assigned and deployed to the crisis region when the ballistic missile threat to US allies and friends increases. When necessary, the ships in question, which serve in the Eastern Mediterranean, receive detection and tracking information for exo-atmospheric prevention from the American X-Band radars located in Malatya/Kürecik and Keren in the Necef Desert. One of the main information inputs and cross-tell stations of the Aegis command and control system of the ships in question, which are connected to the NATO Ballistic Missile Defense System, in Europe and the Mediterranean basin is the “Kürecik Radar” in Malatya. This radar was brought to our country through the NATO Agreement. However, it is completely American property and Turkiye has no discretion regarding its operation. They work online with the American Aegis destroyers serving in the Eastern Mediterranean. With this information, it is possible to shoot down Iranian missiles aimed at Israel at an early stage. Therefore, on the one hand, saying that “Israel’s target is Turkey” and on the other hand, transmitting information to American warships protecting Israel via the Americans’ X Band radar in Kürecik is a very contradictory, even oxymoronic situation.

    Decrease in American Naval Support to Israel

    In the October 1 attack, we see that the US provided support to Israel with roughly 50% fewer ships compared to the April 14 attack. Most importantly, there was no American aircraft carrier strike group in the Mediterranean when the October 1 attacks took place. The USS Truman aircraft carrier strike group only entered the Mediterranean from Gibraltar on the morning of October 3, 2024. This group also includes an Aegis-class cruiser and 2 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers that can support Israeli air defense. On the other hand, the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group, which was supposed to be in the Pacific theater of operations and was dispatched to the region for Israel, was in the Arabian Sea during the October 1 attack. Keeping this group at the entrance to the Persian Gulf for the purpose of deterring Iran rather than preventing air attacks against Israel is a preference of American decision-makers. However, what is striking is the small number of American ships sent to support the defense of Israel. It was expected that Iran would attack Israel after the assassination of Hamas leader Haniyeh. The assassination of Lebanese Shiite leader Nasrallah last week increased this possibility. However, there has been no change in the number of American warships. The arrival of the USS Truman aircraft carrier coup group in the Eastern Mediterranean will only occur as these lines are being read on 6th October, five days after the October 1 attacks.

    Let us remind that the record number of ships in terms of military support and assistance to Israel was set in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The US had a presence in the Eastern Mediterranean with 60 ships during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.

    American Sea Power Is in Weakness

    The fact that the US had only three Aegis class (Arleigh Burke) destroyers with air defense capability in the Eastern Mediterranean during the October 1 Iranian attack is not a strategic choice but rather a weakness in its navy. As of September 30, the day before the October 1 attack, the US Navy’s combat force was 297 ships, (237 combat ships and 60 auxiliary ships). Of these ships, 76 combat ships and 30 auxiliary ships (106 ships in total) were deployed. However, 71 of these 106 ships were underway. US sources do not specify how many of these ships were combatants and how many were auxiliary ships. If we assume, as a rough estimate, that 55 ships were combat ships and 16 were auxiliary ships, we understand why there were only 3 Aegis-class destroyers in the Mediterranean when the October 1 attack took place. The fact that 106 ships out of a total of 295 were deployed is an indication of how low the ships’ combat readiness was. In addition to the fact that it will take years to raise the combat readiness of the remaining ships, let us remember that the warships held in the American reserve fleets to be used in mobilization are on average over 40 years old and in poor condition.

    At the end of her one-year term as force commander, US Navy Commander Admiral Lisa Franchetti prepared a road map (navigation plan) titled NAVPLAN 24 in September 2024. This report summarizes the difficult period that the US naval force is in, by its highest-level executive. Franchetti, the 33rd Chief of Naval Forces (CNO), has the following action plan in his sailing plan, which he calls Project 33:

    “We cannot create a larger conventional navy in a few years, or focus solely on numbers without the right capabilities to win the struggle for sea control… But even without these resources, we will develop our war readiness, capabilities and capacity. We must understand that the navy faces serious financial and industrial constraints.”

    The most important emphasis in the report is that they are preparing to fight China in 2027. This issue is included in the Sailing Plan as follows:

    “The President of the People’s Republic of China has ordered his forces to be ready for war by 2027. We will be more ready.’’

    Franchetti, who said that they would be more ready with an extremely childish expression, later added:

    ‘’The defense industry of the People’s Republic of China is currently in a war footing with the largest shipbuilding infrastructure in the world, which is currently under the command of the navy.’’

    However, the fact that the US Naval Forces Commander focused on President Xi Jinping’s discourse in such an important document is a serious example of weakness. A naval power that claims to dominate the oceans and seas since 1945 accepts its rival taking the initiative to choose the time of war.

    Then let’s ask, for example, what will happen if the US-Iran war starts and China decides to go to war before 2027?

    The Problem of Increasing the Level of War Readiness

    Another striking issue in the document is that the target is to increase the current force to 80% combat readiness. This means if 106 of the 297 ships currently available are deployed, the combat readiness level is around 35%. If we accept that some of the ships in the port at their home bases will be made ready for combat in a short time, we can accept that the readiness level will be around 50% with the highest optimism. Admiral Franchetti aims to increase this level to 80% in the next three years. We are really faced with a picture that is very contrary to the history of the US Navy. As it is understood from both the document and Franchetti’s statements, the real problem is the maintenance and repair problem of the ships. Warships at the end of deployments and tasking cycle they go through maintenance/ overhaul period and upon completion the combat training cycle starts before the ship totally becomes combat ready. This process, which would take 12-15 months if everything worked normally, no longer works in the US. According to Franchetti’s statement in the navigation plan, the maintenance of surface fleets (cruisers, destroyers, amphibious ships and corvettes) is currently about 2,700 days behind, or almost seven years. This is an incredible delay.

    The Role Model of the US Navy: Ukraine and the Houthis

    The document very interestingly refers to the asymmetric naval successes of the fleetless Ukraine and the bare foot Houthi fighters in the Black and Red Seas, implying that the weakness of the navy will be offset by unmanned vehicles and robotic systems.

    In order to prepare for a conflict with China in the Pacific in 2027, the report emphasizes a new class of unmanned systems to create low-cost, lethal air and surface systems that would disrupt an invasion beyond Taiwan. However, he does not mention that the US is an ocean state and that they will need large-tonnage platforms that can navigate the ocean to move from the CONUS to areas of interest. For example, the foundation of American naval power depends on bases and the support of these bases in wartime. Only in this way can warships in distant areas receive fuel, ammunition and personnel support. This support also needs to be created in the homeland.

    However, how that logistical support will be provided from the homeland to these bases? The American merchant fleet is insufficient. They have only 200 ships flying their own flag. The US auxiliary ship fleet, MSC (Military Sealift Command), also has very limited resources. They have 19 offshore logistics support and fuel supply tankers; 14 ammunition transporters; 15 military supply transporters; 21 pre-positioned stockpiling supply ships in overseas bases and around 60 foreign-flagged leased ships. Last month, 17 of these were put into reserve status due to lack of personnel. Half of the rest are not ready for action anyway. This fleet is not even sufficient for their own needs, let alone their allies.

    It is clear that these numbers will be extremely insufficient in a two-front war with China and Russia on the Atlantic/European and Asia/Pacific fronts. The combat vehicles of just one mechanized division weigh over 100 thousand tons. According to NATO’s cold war plans, the amount of cargo that needed to be reinforced from the US for supplementary supplies in the first months of a war in Europe was around 25 million tons. The military operation requirement was 100 million barrels of petroleum products.

    Now let’s add the Pacific theater of operations to this picture, where the distances are much longer. We are faced with a terribly difficult picture. Because the most important US allies in the Pacific, such as Japan, Australia and South Korea, do not have oil. At least they are dependent on the US for fuel.

    Let’s add the war that will continue with Russia in Europe to this situation. I am not even mentioning the sea lift that will last for months in the Pacific and the Atlantic, and therefore the need to protect these convoys against a three-dimensional threat. Except for 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, every ship needs to refuel at sea several times during ocean crossings. However, they do not have enough ships. MSC ships also do not have surface or air defense systems to defend themselves. Under these conditions, it is not clear how the Pacific front will be supported if war breaks out with China tomorrow.

    American Sea Power Is Chronically Insufficient

    In June 2023, the American Congress approved the naval target of 381 ships. In addition, it is aimed to have 397 ships by 2053. However, today, in order to complete the 381 ship target by 2030, a 20% budget increase is needed, which is not possible under today’s debt stock burden.

    Today, the backbone of American naval power is nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN), other than nuclear aircraft carriers and ballistic missile submarines (SSBN).

    However, today, nearly 40% of submarines are under repair and the delays in repair are enormous. If aircraft carriers operate in waters close to the continent – ​​for example, in the South or East China Sea – they are likely to be hit by hypersonic and ballistic missiles. In short, the US is unprepared for a major power conflict which is developing.

    If a conflict with China were to break out tomorrow, the American Navy would have very little chance of winning because it is not ready. The logistical difficulties of building and sustaining American naval power in the short and medium terms are incredible. If the problem of replenishing existing weapons and ammunition stocks is added to this, the seriousness of the situation becomes apparent.

    undefined

    According to former American Undersecretary of the Navy Seth Cropsey, if the US does not increase the production of the weapons it will need in the Indo-Pacific, especially hypersonic cruise and ballistic missiles and short-range anti-ship weapons, it will lose a war for Taiwan in weeks. In its current state, the US Navy cannot maintain its bases and allies in the Indo-Pacific Oceans and its transoceanic logistical support line.

    The parameters of the US-USA balance in the Cold War and today’s US-China balance are extremely different. The USSR could not defeat the US because the American Navy’s enormous size of 600 ships confined the Soviets to the continent and weakened them. China, on the other hand, is far more advanced at sea than the US naval power today. China has the advantage in terms of both its geographical location, naval power and number of anti-ship missiles. The conditions are more in its favor than ever to bring this to a dynamic conclusion. The US is weakening its power in the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf because of Israel. China, on the other hand, will use every opportunity to protect and develop its own geopolitical interests, especially in Taiwan and the South China Sea, as long as the Israel-Iran crisis continues.

    Israel’s Air Defense and the Weakness of the U.S. Navy. “Damage Control Project” of Commander of the U.S. Naval Forces These lines were written on CNN, the voice of the Democratic Party close to the US neocons, at a time when US President Biden announced that he had not yet received a guarantee that Israel would not target nuclear facilities in a possible counter-attack on Iran. This is clearly an expression of the US being held hostage by Netanyahu. In this case, we can say that the world is under Israel’s mortgage until the US presidential elections on November 5, 2024. If Iran’s nuclear facilities are hit, it goes without saying that this crisis will grow very large and humanity will face multi-dimensional crises. It is possible to say that this situation will bring about the collapse of the US faster than the collapse of the Roman Empire. Iran’s Attack on Selected Targets on October 1 After Iran’s attack on Israel with around 300 missiles and drones on April 14, 2024, the second attack with 180 ballistic missiles on October 1, 2024 revealed the serious vulnerabilities of Israel’s air defense system again. The strategic Nevatim and Hatzerim air bases were hit in this attack. Today, Israel has a progressive air defense system supported by the US. The Iron Dome Low Altitude Air Defense System; the David’s Sling Medium/High-Altitude Ballistic Missile Defense System and the Arrow 2/3 High Altitude Ballistic Missile Defense System operate in conjunction with the central command and control system (IMDO). This system is also supported by the American Patriot and THAAD systems and the high precision and range X-band radars located in the Necef Desert, Keren and Kürecik Malatya. . How will strike on Nevatim air base affect Israel's military ops? Image shows the Israel’s Nevatim Airbase and the Commanding Officer of the base, Brig. Gen. Yotam Sigler. (Image by Tugce Atmaca/Türkiye Today) . US Navy and Israeli Air Defense The Pentagon announced that 81 UAVs and 6 ballistic missiles were shot down by American air defense efforts in the April 14 attack. Following the October 1 attack, the Pentagon announced that a dozen of the 180 missiles were shot down by two of the three American destroyers in the Mediterranean (USS Bulkeley and USS Cole). Four of these ships, which have the Arleigh Burke class SM 3 high altitude ballistic missile defense system, are permanently stationed at the US naval base in Cadiz/Rota, Spain. These ships are dynamically assigned and deployed to the crisis region when the ballistic missile threat to US allies and friends increases. When necessary, the ships in question, which serve in the Eastern Mediterranean, receive detection and tracking information for exo-atmospheric prevention from the American X-Band radars located in Malatya/Kürecik and Keren in the Necef Desert. One of the main information inputs and cross-tell stations of the Aegis command and control system of the ships in question, which are connected to the NATO Ballistic Missile Defense System, in Europe and the Mediterranean basin is the “Kürecik Radar” in Malatya. This radar was brought to our country through the NATO Agreement. However, it is completely American property and Turkiye has no discretion regarding its operation. They work online with the American Aegis destroyers serving in the Eastern Mediterranean. With this information, it is possible to shoot down Iranian missiles aimed at Israel at an early stage. Therefore, on the one hand, saying that “Israel’s target is Turkey” and on the other hand, transmitting information to American warships protecting Israel via the Americans’ X Band radar in Kürecik is a very contradictory, even oxymoronic situation. Decrease in American Naval Support to Israel In the October 1 attack, we see that the US provided support to Israel with roughly 50% fewer ships compared to the April 14 attack. Most importantly, there was no American aircraft carrier strike group in the Mediterranean when the October 1 attacks took place. The USS Truman aircraft carrier strike group only entered the Mediterranean from Gibraltar on the morning of October 3, 2024. This group also includes an Aegis-class cruiser and 2 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers that can support Israeli air defense. On the other hand, the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group, which was supposed to be in the Pacific theater of operations and was dispatched to the region for Israel, was in the Arabian Sea during the October 1 attack. Keeping this group at the entrance to the Persian Gulf for the purpose of deterring Iran rather than preventing air attacks against Israel is a preference of American decision-makers. However, what is striking is the small number of American ships sent to support the defense of Israel. It was expected that Iran would attack Israel after the assassination of Hamas leader Haniyeh. The assassination of Lebanese Shiite leader Nasrallah last week increased this possibility. However, there has been no change in the number of American warships. The arrival of the USS Truman aircraft carrier coup group in the Eastern Mediterranean will only occur as these lines are being read on 6th October, five days after the October 1 attacks. Let us remind that the record number of ships in terms of military support and assistance to Israel was set in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The US had a presence in the Eastern Mediterranean with 60 ships during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. . undefined The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) (From the Public Domain) . American Sea Power Is in Weakness The fact that the US had only three Aegis class (Arleigh Burke) destroyers with air defense capability in the Eastern Mediterranean during the October 1 Iranian attack is not a strategic choice but rather a weakness in its navy. As of September 30, the day before the October 1 attack, the US Navy’s combat force was 297 ships, (237 combat ships and 60 auxiliary ships). Of these ships, 76 combat ships and 30 auxiliary ships (106 ships in total) were deployed. However, 71 of these 106 ships were underway. US sources do not specify how many of these ships were combatants and how many were auxiliary ships. If we assume, as a rough estimate, that 55 ships were combat ships and 16 were auxiliary ships, we understand why there were only 3 Aegis-class destroyers in the Mediterranean when the October 1 attack took place. The fact that 106 ships out of a total of 295 were deployed is an indication of how low the ships’ combat readiness was. In addition to the fact that it will take years to raise the combat readiness of the remaining ships, let us remember that the warships held in the American reserve fleets to be used in mobilization are on average over 40 years old and in poor condition. Damage Control Project of the Commander of the United States Naval Forces Image: ADM Lisa M. Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations (From the Public Domain) undefined At the end of her one-year term as force commander, US Navy Commander Admiral Lisa Franchetti prepared a road map (navigation plan) titled NAVPLAN 24 in September 2024.

    Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that Israeli forces killed at least 56 Palestinians and wounded another 278 in the previous 24-hour period as Israel continues to launch strikes across the Strip.

    The Lebanese Health Ministry said in a statement that during the past 24 hours 36 people were killed and 150 others injured.

    In Syria, at least seven people, including women and children, have been killed by an Israeli strike on a residential building in Damascus.

    Israel has dropped more than 85,000 tonnes (94,000 tons) of explosives on Gaza; about 17 percent of these ordnances remain unexploded,” according to Gaza’s civil defense.

    ‘Humanitarian situation in northern Gaza becoming more dangerous’

    Al Jazeera reports:

    The Palestinian Civil Defense said the humanitarian situation in northern Gaza is becoming more dangerous following a large-scale Israeli military attack on Beit Hanoon, Beit Lahiya and Jabalia that has been ongoing for four days.

    “Israeli forces have imposed a tight siege on these areas and are preventing the entry of water, food and medical supplies. The occupation has committed massacres against civilians, killing dozens and injuring hundreds. People’s bodies are strewn in the streets and it is difficult to reach them because soldiers are targeting ambulance and civil defense crews,” it said in a statement.

    The Palestinian Civil Defense added that the Israeli military is forcing the more than 200,000 citizens in these areas to evacuate their homes and medical staff and patients to leave hospitals in the northern Gaza.

    Palestinians in the north say the Israeli forces are wiping everything out: agricultural land, houses, water plants. Any source of life is being wiped from the Israeli forces.

    Israel orders 3 hospitals to be evacuated in northern Gaza: Health Ministry

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    The Israeli army ordered the evacuation of patients and staff at three hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, the enclave’s Health Ministry said Tuesday.

    Israel “demands the evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital, the Indonesian Hospital, and Al-Awda Hospital from patients and health personnel,” it said in a statement.

    Israeli troops arrested “a paramedic who accompanied a critical care patient during their transfer from Kamal Adwan Hospital despite prior coordination,” according to the statement, that noted the army is besieging the Kamal Adwan Hospital and firing at its administrative headquarters.

    The army threatened the hospitals with “destruction, killing, and arrest” if they did not evacuate.

    According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli forces threatened Kamal Adwan Hospital staff and opened fire at the administration office.

    The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital stated,

    It is evident that there is a new plan to displace our people in northern Gaza by dismantling the healthcare system across all its sectors in this region. We urge the world to intervene to stop this terrifying decision, which does not serve the people of northern Gaza.

    We have informed everyone that the northern region is densely populated with a significant number of residents. We have the right to continue providing services to these people.

    We will remain steadfast, we will stay and we will continue to offer medical services no matter the cost.

    On Monday, the Jerusalem Post reported that the IDF has was providing “expanded” services in northern Gaza, including field hospitals, tent compounds, and supplies of food, water, and medicine.

    Local Palestinians in Jabaliya report that there is nowhere to receive healthcare, nowhere to live, as buildings have been turned to rubble, As has been reported for 12 months, Israel has destroyed hospitals, schools and residential areas.

    Tuesday’s evacuation orders are a continuation of this policy. The Jerusalem Post report appears to be fictional.

    NOTE: Israel’s attacks are wreaking havoc on healthcare in Lebanon too.

    Gaza faces one of largest cases of ecocide in recent history, including contamination from “depleted uranium bombs”

    Various agencies report:

    Israel’s attacks in Gaza, in addition to causing massive loss of life and shelter, have brought about ecocide – “the destruction and devastation of the environment at any cost.”

    Ecocide is recognized as a crime under the category of war crimes in the Rome Statute.

    In the first four months of the attacks, Israel dropped 70,000 tons of bombs on the region.

    Various analyses have concluded that bombings, damage caused by heavy vehicles, airstrikes, and other elements of conflict have severely impacted agricultural areas.

    Approximately 75% of the agricultural land in northern Gaza has suffered damage.

    According to the Environmental Quality Authority affiliated with the Palestinian Authority, Israeli attacks are putting Gaza’s biodiversity at risk, including between 150 and 200 bird species, around 20 mammal species, and 20 rare and endangered reptile species.

    Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh, head of the Biodiversity and Sustainability Center at Bethlehem University, told Anadolu that some of the environmental damage in the region is now irreversible.

    He noted that the water aquifers in the region have suffered significant damage and may not recover; if they do, it could take decades.

    The president of the Lebanese Association of Social Medicine, Raif Reda, said Israel has been using banned bombs with uranium warheads in south Beirut. and called for an international investigation.

    Warheads made with depleted uranium casings are designed to penetrate deep fortifications, causing significant destruction and releasing toxic gases. They are also radioactive and have been linked to massive increases in cancer rates in Iraq following the US wars on that country in 1991 and 2003.

    Israeli air forces may have used depleted uranium bombs on at least four residential buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs on September 27 to kill Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

    The Israeli air force has already been known to use these bombs in Gaza. A UN Human Rights report documented airstrikes by the Israeli air force carried out on residential buildings, a school, refugee camps, and a market between October 9 and December 2, 2023.

    Depleted uranium munitions pose a risk to civilians years after a site is bombed because they release radioactive particles upon impact and contaminate the soil and surrounding environment.

    Radioactive dust emitted by depleted uranium munitions has been linked to rises in cancer and congenital defects in babies following the US bombing of Iraq.

    ‘Undeniable’ – Probe Confirms Israeli Army Presence when Hind Rajab was Killed in Gaza

    Sky News reports:

    Even though the Israeli military denies being in the area on the day that six-year-old Hind Rajab and six members of her family were killed in Gaza, a Sky News investigation has found that the army’s presence in the area was “undeniable.” Two paramedics who were trying to rescue her were also killed.

    The channel analyzed satellite imagery, Israeli military press materials, and interviewed weapons and forensics experts.

    Hezbollah says Israel using UN troops as ‘human shields’ in south Lebanon, as Israel expands ground operation

    Various agencies report:

    Hezbollah has ordered its fighters not to attack Israeli forces who established a forward operating base behind UN peacekeeping troops (UNIFIL) near a Lebanese border village: “the Israeli enemy is attempting to use UNIFIL forces as human shields,” a statement issued by the Islamic resistance movement on 7 October said.

    “The operations room of the Islamic Resistance instructed the fighters to hold back and not engage with the movement to protect the lives of international soldiers,” the statement added, just a day after UNIFIL warned Israel’s operations near their position at Maroun al-Ras were an “extremely dangerous development.”

    “It is unacceptable to compromise the safety of UN peacekeepers carrying out their Security Council-mandated tasks,” UNIFIL stated while reminding all actors in the conflict of their obligations to protect UN personnel and property.

    NOTE: Israel has blatantly used Palestinians as human shields on many occasions (see this, this, this, this, this for example.)

    RECOMMENDED READING: Every accusation a confession: Israel and the double lie of ‘human shields’

    Israel has said it is expanding its ground operation in Lebanon with the deployment of a fourth division after another night of intense airstrikes across the south and east of the country.

    Launching what it has called Operation Northern Arrows last week, the Israeli army said the ground offensive would involve “limited, localized and targeted raids” to remove Hezbollah infrastructure along the disputed de facto border between the two countries, known as the blue line.

    The rapid deployment of four divisions operating across south Lebanon, alongside evacuation orders for Lebanese villages upwards of 20 miles from the blue line and the intensive bombing of the country’s south, east and the capital, suggests however that Israel is preparing for a wider offensive against the Lebanese militia.

    Since 1978 a series of Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon, including a years-long occupation, have failed to bring security and calm to northern Israel.

    Support for Israel Has Cost US Taxpayers At Least $22.76 Billion in One Year

    Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University reports:

    U.S. spending on Israel’s military operations and related U.S operations in the region total at least $22.76 billion and counting. This estimate is conservative; while it includes approved security assistance funding since October 7, 2023, supplemental funding for regional operations, and an estimated additional cost of operations, it does not include any other economic costs.

    This figure includes the $17.9 billion the U.S. government has approved in security assistance for Israeli military operations in Gaza and elsewhere since October 7 – substantially more than in any other year since the U.S. began granting military aid to Israel in 1959. Yet the report describes how this is only a partial amount of the U.S. financial support provided during this war.

    Related U.S. military operations in the broader region since October 7 are part of the fuller picture. In particular, the U.S. Navy has significantly scaled up its defensive and offensive operations against Houthi militants in Yemen, which the Houthis claim is related to Israel’s war in Gaza. Hostilities have escalated to become the most sustained military campaign by U.S. forces since the 2016-2019 air war against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. U.S. operations in the region, including in Yemen, have already cost the U.S. government $4.86 billion (included in the overall figure, above, of $22.76 billion).

    Report: US Considers Launching Airstrikes Against Iran To Support Israeli Attack

    NBC News reports:

    American military officials have discussed possibly supporting Israeli retaliation with intelligence or airstrikes of their own, according to two U.S. officials.

    The U.S. has long supported Israel with intelligence and that support could continue during Israel’s retaliatory strikes against Iran, the two officials said.

    NOTE: Characterizing Israel’s strikes against Iran as “retaliatory” de-contextualizes the conflict, which began when Israel attacked the Iranian consulate in Syria on April 1, then killed Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran on July 31; Israel also assassinated Hezbollah leader Nasrallah on September 27th.

    Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi correctly declared that Iran’s missile attack was an act of “self-defense” that only targeted military and security sites used for attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. He pointed out that Iran’s measured attack came “after exercising tremendous restraint for almost two months [after the attack inside Iran], to give space for a ceasefire in Gaza.”

    The foreign minister added that Iran’s action was “concluded” unless Israel “decides to invite further retaliation” – words that indicate that Western leaders who want an end to the conflict ought to counsel Israel to let the matter drop.

    NBC continues: Senior U.S. military officials have also discussed conducting very limited strikes against Iranian targets, the two officials said. Strikes inside Iran have been discussed, as have strikes on targets outside Iran, though strikes of any kind are less likely than intelligence sharing, the officials said.

    The U.S. could target Iranian assets at sea, the officials said, or try to disrupt Iran’s military assistance to proxies in the region by hitting Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps sites that support militia groups in Yemen or Syria.

    A U.S. strike on an Iranian target could be considered defensive if it eliminates a possible threat to the U.S. or allies, like previous American strikes on Iran-linked targets inside Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.

    NOTE: Iran has already declared that Israel’s allies ought to “part ways with the [Israeli] regime,” suggesting that an attack on Iran by the US would not go unanswered – that is, while some players might consider a US strike on Iran to be “defensive,” Iran would not.

    ALSO NOTE: The US has offered Israel a “compensation package” if it avoids hitting certain targets in its planned attack on Iran, The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday, citing the Israeli TV channel Kan 11.

    Sky News investigation: ‘Undeniable’ – Probe Confirms Israeli Army Presence when Hind Rajab was Killed in Gaza



    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – OCTOBER 8, 2024:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 8, 2024: at least 42,753* ( 42,010 in Gaza* – 69% are women and children, according to Gaza’s Media Office). [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

    This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 743 in the West Bank (~160 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

    Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

    Ralph Nader earlier estimated 300,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.

    At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 25 from West Bank).
    At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
    About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
    Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
    Palestinian injuries from October 7 – October 8, 2024: at least 103,920 (including at least 97,720 in Gaza and 6,200 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

    Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 8, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

    The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is at least 2,119 and 10,019 injuries. An estimated 1.2 million have been displaced.

    NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers.

    *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.

    **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals.

    ***The figure does not include the reportedly 56 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.

    † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

(Anadolu Agency) Compilation of news reports – IAK staff Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that Israeli forces killed at least 56 Palestinians and wounded another 278 in the previous 24-hour period as Israel continues to launch strikes across the Strip. The Lebanese Health Ministry said in a statement that during the past 24 hours 36 people were killed and 150 others injured.

(Ali Jadallah/Anadolu) ‘Humanitarian situation in northern Gaza becoming more dangerous’ Al Jazeera reports: The Palestinian Civil Defense said the humanitarian situation in northern Gaza is becoming more dangerous following a large-scale Israeli military attack on Beit Hanoon, Beit Lahiya and Jabalia that has been ongoing for four days. “Israeli forces have imposed a tight siege on these areas and are preventing the entry of water, food and medical supplies. The occupation has committed massacres against civilians, killing dozens and injuring hundreds. People’s bodies are strewn in the streets and it is difficult to reach them because soldiers are targeting ambulance and civil defense crews,” it said in a statement. The Palestinian Civil Defense added that the Israeli military is forcing the more than 200,000 citizens in these areas to evacuate their homes and medical staff and patients to leave hospitals in the northern Gaza. Palestinians in the north say the Israeli forces are wiping everything out: agricultural land, houses, water plants. Any source of life is being wiped from the Israeli forces.

(Anadolu/Getty Images) Israel orders 3 hospitals to be evacuated in northern Gaza: Health Ministry Anadolu Agency reports: The Israeli army ordered the evacuation of patients and staff at three hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, the enclave’s Health Ministry said Tuesday. Israel “demands the evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital, the Indonesian Hospital, and Al-Awda Hospital from patients and health personnel,” it said in a statement. Israeli troops arrested “a paramedic who accompanied a critical care patient during their transfer from Kamal Adwan Hospital despite prior coordination,” according to the statement, that noted the army is besieging the Kamal Adwan Hospital and firing at its administrative headquarters. The army threatened the hospitals with “destruction, killing, and arrest” if they did not evacuate. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli forces threatened Kamal Adwan Hospital staff and opened fire at the administration office. The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital stated, It is evident that there is a new plan to displace our people in northern Gaza by dismantling the healthcare system across all its sectors in this region. We urge the world to intervene to stop this terrifying decision, which does not serve the people of northern Gaza. We have informed everyone that the northern region is densely populated with a significant number of residents. We have the right to continue providing services to these people. We will remain steadfast, we will stay and we will continue to offer medical services no matter the cost. On Monday, the Jerusalem Post reported that the IDF has was providing “expanded” services in northern Gaza, including field hospitals, tent compounds, and supplies of food, water, and medicine. Local Palestinians in Jabaliya report that there is nowhere to receive healthcare, nowhere to live, as buildings have been turned to rubble, As has been reported for 12 months, Israel has destroyed hospitals, schools and residential areas. Tuesday’s evacuation orders are a continuation of this policy. The Jerusalem Post report appears to be fictional. NOTE: Israel’s attacks are wreaking havoc on healthcare in Lebanon too.

(photo) Gaza faces one of largest cases of ecocide in recent history, including contamination from “depleted uranium bombs” Various agencies report: Israel’s attacks in Gaza, in addition to causing massive loss of life and shelter, have brought about ecocide – “the destruction and devastation of the environment at any cost.” Ecocide is recognized as a crime under the category of war crimes in the Rome Statute. In the first four months of the attacks, Israel dropped 70,000 tons of bombs on the region. Various analyses have concluded that bombings, damage caused by heavy vehicles, airstrikes, and other elements of conflict have severely impacted agricultural areas. Approximately 75% of the agricultural land in northern Gaza has suffered damage. According to the Environmental Quality Authority affiliated with the Palestinian Authority, Israeli attacks are putting Gaza’s biodiversity at risk, including between 150 and 200 bird species, around 20 mammal species, and 20 rare and endangered reptile species. Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh, head of the Biodiversity and Sustainability Center at Bethlehem University, told Anadolu that some of the environmental damage in the region is now irreversible. He noted that the water aquifers in the region have suffered significant damage and may not recover; if they do, it could take decades. The president of the Lebanese Association of Social Medicine, Raif Reda, said Israel has been using banned bombs with uranium warheads in south Beirut. and called for an international investigation. Warheads made with depleted uranium casings are designed to penetrate deep fortifications, causing significant destruction and releasing toxic gases. They are also radioactive and have been linked to massive increases in cancer rates in Iraq following the US wars on that country in 1991 and 2003. Israeli air forces may have used depleted uranium bombs on at least four residential buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs on September 27 to kill Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so. **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries.

    Israeli fighter jets bomb West Bank coffee shop, killing 18 Palestinians

    Middle East Eye reports:

    Israeli forces killed 18 Palestinians on Thursday after bombing a coffee shop in the occupied West Bank using fighter jets, in the first such attack since the Second Intifada during the early 2000s.

    At least one missile reportedly hit a busy cafe in the crowded Tulkarm refugee camp late at night as citizens gathered there. Ambulances and first responders rushed to the scene after the raid.

    Video from the site posted on social media showed what appeared to be a corpse suspended in the air and rubble spewed across the street with cries in the background.

    A source within the Palestinian security services said this was the deadliest single attack in the occupied West Bank since 2000.

    The Israeli army confirmed the strike and said it was a joint operation carried out by the Shin Bet internal security service and the air force, according to a brief statement by the military.

    AL JAZEERA ADDS: The Israeli military said that it killed Zahi Yaser Abd al-Razeq Oufi, an alleged Hamas leader in the occupied West Bank, following a deadly strike in the Tulkarem refugee camp.

    IMEMC ADDS: Volunteer paramedic at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), Diala Hadaida, said: “We witnessed difficult scenes after the bombing, with the remains of children and elderly people scattered and hanging on power lines, in addition to several Palestinians being trapped under the rubble.”

    Since October 7, 2023, the Tulkarem governorate has been subject to serious Israeli military escalation, leading to the death of 152 Palestinians, including twenty-one children and four women, bringing the number of slain Palestinians in the West Bank, to 741 including more than 160 children, 11 women and two medics.

    AL JAZEERA ADDS: Journalist Abed Abu Shehadeh says Israel used a fighter jet in its attack on the occupied West Bank that killed 18 Palestinians, something that had not happened since the second Intifada.

    He noted that the Israeli military used an Apache helicopter gunship in its massive raid on the Jenin refugee camp in June 2023, also for the first time in 20 years, suggesting that there is “a wider Israeli plan concerning the West Bank”.

    A mother and her two children were among 18 killed in Israeli fighter jet strike on Tulkarem.

    The Palestinian health ministry stated that the strike led to a total of 18 people being killed by Israeli strikes.

    Elsewhere, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian young man, on Thursday, after an alleged stabbing attempt at a military roadblock, in the southern West Bank city of Hebron.

    Salah Ziad Issa Shawahin, 23, died after Israeli soldiers shot him with live ammunition near Hebron.

    Israeli attacks have killed 50 Palestinians in 15 days in the West Bank.

    Your Money: Another $1.2 billion tax dollars goes toward Israel – to maintain ships in the Red Sea

    ​Middle East Eye reports:

    The US Department of Defense plans to allocate around $1.2 billion for the upkeep of military vessels stationed in the Red Sea, according to recently released budget documents.

    This funding will also be used to replenish missile stockpiles, which are essential for protecting Israel as it continues its war on Gaza.

    The spending is linked to “costs incurred by the Department of Defense within the US Central Command region in responding to the situation in Israel or to hostile actions in the region as a direct result of the situation in Israel,” one of the documents says.

    NOTE: The US continues to provide Israel with tens of millions of dollars a day in military aid (plus billions in emergency supplies) – while it commits genocide.

    Israel killed at least 28 people in the Gaza Strip Sunday.

    At least four Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Umm al-Fahm School in the town of Beit Lahia, which serves to shelter displaced civilians in the northern Gaza Strip.
    The Lebanese health ministry has reported that Israeli air strikes on Sunday killed at least 109 individuals and left 364 others wounded across the country.

    An entire family of 17 members was wiped out by an Israeli airstrike on Sunday in the town of Zboud, in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, Lebanese media said.
    In Yemen, at least four people were killed and 49 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on the western city of Al Hudaydah on Sunday, the Houthi group said.

    Around 17,000 children killed in Israeli war on Gaza, Palestinian authorities say

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Around 17,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip since last October, according to local authorities on Sunday.

    “Around 25,973 Palestinian children now live in Gaza without one or both parents due to the Israeli aggression,” Ismail al-Thawabta, who heads Gaza’s government media office, told Anadolu.

    He said at least 16,859 children, including 171 infants, have been killed in Israeli attacks since Oct. 7, 2023.

    The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has repeatedly warned that “Gaza’s children have endured unimaginable horrors” under relentless Israeli attacks.

    Gaza: Israel’s destruction of agricultural land is expression of its insistence on committing genocide

    Euro Med Monitor reports:

    Israel has once again destroyed hundreds of dunams of agricultural land, depriving Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip of agricultural land and resources vital to survival, all in support of its illegal blockade of the Strip and tight restrictions on the entry of food supplies for almost a full year. This is an expression of Israel’s insistence on committing genocide against Palestinians in the enclave.

    Israel has forced over 75% of agricultural land in the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian people’s hands, either by isolating it in preparation for illegally annexing it to its military “buffer zone” or by bulldozing or otherwise damaging it, thereby destroying the Strip’s supply of fruits, vegetables, and meat.

    This destruction is part of a larger Israeli plan that dates back to last October. Under this plan, Israeli forces have worked to eliminate almost 80% of the agricultural land in the Gaza Strip from use by Palestinians. Israel has done this either by isolating it in preparation for its forcible annexation to the so-called “buffer zone” or by bulldozing or destroying it by other means, such as bombardment—all of which are in violation of international law.

    According to the Euro-Med Monitor field team, Israeli forces stormed the area of Al-Shimaa in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, early on Tuesday morning (25 September 2024). Accompanied by military bulldozers, the forces began their bulldozing operations, destroying more than 500 dunums of newly replanted agricultural land, which was supposed to sustain the needs of the people living in northern Gaza, who are subject to an arbitrary siege and systematic starvation by Israel.

    The Israeli destruction of these agricultural lands, the majority of which were filled with eggplants, reflects Israel’s insistence on preventing the Palestinian people from depending on the region’s agricultural food basket during a period when sufficient supplies of vegetables and other foods are being kept out of the northern Gaza Strip. This has led to a severe famine, to the point where a significant portion of the people in the north have been forced to eat tree leaves and bake ground-up animal feed instead of flour.

    Palestinian security in Gaza says spying devices found in displacement camps

    Middle East Monitor reports:

    The Palestinian security services in Gaza have in recent days seized Israeli spying equipment planted in a shelter for displaced families in the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian resistance media platform reported on its Telegram channel yesterday.

    The platform quoted a security officer as saying that “the [Israeli] occupation intelligence had disguised the seized spying devices with different shapes, so they appear as part of the surrounding and natural environment including in the form of a rock.”

    The officer suggested the Israeli intelligence planted the spying devices via Quadcopter drones, calling on everyone “not to tamper with any suspicious devices and to contact the security officers immediately.”

    From Gaza to Lebanon: Israel’s Bombing Campaign Backed by Media Propaganda

    MintPress News reports:

    Western corporate media outlets, including the BBC, CNN, and The New York Times, have been working overtime to justify Israel’s recent assault on Lebanon, which claimed the lives of approximately 600 people in a single day. These reports have repeatedly claimed that the Israeli strikes were targeting “Hezbollah positions,” an assertion that has been widely echoed without substantial scrutiny.

    Israel’s large-scale onslaught against civilian areas throughout Lebanon, which began on Monday, was covered by Western corporate media as “strikes on Hezbollah.”

    CNN’s story on the first day of the assault, after around 500 people had been killed across Lebanon, was titled, “Israeli Strikes Targeting Hezbollah Kill Hundreds Across Lebanon.” The New York Times set up a live events feed labeled “Israel Strikes Hezbollah Targets in Lebanon.” Even Reuters and the Associated Press, two of the most reputable Western news providers, framed the events as an escalation from “both sides,” covering Israel’s attack on Hezbollah.


    A Reuters article published Tuesday opens with a telling lede: “An Israeli airstrike on Beirut killed a senior Hezbollah commander on Tuesday as cross-border rocket attacks by both sides increased fears of a full-fledged war in the Middle East, and Lebanon said only Washington could help end the fighting.”

    Israel has made no secret of the fact that it is targeting civilians, as demonstrated by its release of a CGI video showing mockups of Lebanese villages, where missiles are allegedly stored in homes. Despite this, much of the Western media has yet to acknowledge these admissions.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dispelled any remaining doubt when he delivered a message in English to the people of Lebanon in which he claimed, “Hezbollah has been using you as human shields.” He further stated, “They’ve placed rockets in your living rooms” and “missiles in your garage.”

    Garbage situation in Gaza is catastrophic

    Various agencies report:

    UNRWA, the United Nations group serving Palestinian refugees, says: Mountains of garbage are piling up in Gaza middle areas as sewage leaks onto streets. Families have no choice but to live beside the accumulated waste, exposed to the reek and the threat of a looming health disaster. Sanitary and living conditions across Gaza are inhumane.

    According to ReliefWeb, the waste management system in Gaza, already limited before the war, has now completely collapsed as collection vehicles have been destroyed and access to official landfills is refused by the Israeli military.

    Waste attracts rodents and insects resulting in the spread of infectious diseases such as cholera or skin diseases, while waste burning, a disposal method that locals use to manage the current emergency, worsens air pollution which in turn can result in further respiratory problems. People, many of whom are children, scavenging waste for food and sustenance, face additional risks from hazardous materials, which include medical waste and industrial chemicals.

    There are also growing indications that conflict pollution is risked with the spread of antimicrobial resistance, a development that can deepen the medical health crisis.

    Large waste dumps are also a threat to the soil and groundwater, as leachate, a toxic mix that spills from the waste, seeps into the land and affects groundwater, while in the long-term, increased methane release from landfills contributes to an increase of greenhouse gas emissions.

    Lebanon says around 1 million people displaced due to Israeli attacks

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said Sunday that around one million people have been displaced due to Israeli attacks, marking the largest wave of displacement in the country’s history.

    “Lebanon is experiencing the largest wave of displacement in its history,” he told a press conference following a meeting of the government’s emergency committee in Beirut.

    “Our priority is to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression through continued diplomatic efforts. We have no other choice,” he noted.

    Mikati also reaffirmed Lebanon’s commitment to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

    Israel’s state comptroller accuses army of obstructing investigations into Oct. 7 failures

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Israeli State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman accused the military on Sunday of hindering investigations into the failures that led to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.

    “No external body has shown objectivity in examining the failures,” Englman said during a conference by Israeli media outlets The Jerusalem Post, Maariv and Walla.

    He said his office is conducting a series of investigations related to the failures that led to the Oct. 7 attack.

    “We are nearing completion of this report, but to finalize it, we need to meet with three individuals in the military,” Englman added.

    He emphasized that Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi believes that the State Comptroller’s office should not intervene in military issues, declaring him “wrong.”

    The State Comptroller’s office is Israel’s central institution for overseeing various state agencies to ensure public financial accountability.

    US senator confirms Israel used US one ton bombs in Nasrallah strike

    Reuters reports:

    The bomb that Israel used to kill Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut last week was an American-made guided weapon, a U.S. senator said on Sunday.

    Mark Kelly, chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland Subcommittee, said Israel used a 2,000-lb (900-kg) Mark 84 series bomb, during an interview with NBC. His statement marks the first U.S. indication of what weapon had been used.

    “We see more use of guided munitions, JDAMs, and we continue to provide those weapons,” Kelly said, using an abbreviation that stands for Joint Direct Attack Munitions. “That 2,000-pound bomb that was used, that’s a Mark 84 series bomb, to take out Nasrallah,” he said.

    The Israeli military said on Saturday it had eliminated Nasrallah in a strike on the group’s central command headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

    The Israeli military has declined to comment on what weapons were used in the attack. The Pentagon was not immediately available for comment.

    JDAMs convert a standard unguided bomb using fins and a GPS guidance system into a guided weapon.

    AL JAZEERA ADDS: Israel media says about 85 so-called “bunker-buster” bombs were used in the attack on Hasan Nasrallah.

    Also known as “ground penetration munition”, these missiles burrow deep into the ground before they detonate.

    They have the power to destroy underground facilities and reinforced concrete buildings.

    Washington’s failure to condemn Israel’s pager terrorism “can only be called racist”

    Ralph Nader writes in Common Dreams:

    Furtively booby-trapping a consumer product like a pager or two-way radio opens a new phase of warfare. This savagery prompted Leon Panetta, former director of the CIA and former secretary of defense, in an interview on the CBS “Sunday Morning” news show to charge Israel with “terrorism.” No prominent national security figure has ever assailed Israel this way. Herewith his words:

    The ability to be able to place an explosive in technology that is very prevalent these days. And turn it into a war of terror. Really, a war of terror. This is something new.

    I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism…This is going right into the supply chain, right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question, what the hell is next?

    Panetta would never have uttered these words without the concurrence of the CIA and the Department of Defense. Still no consequences for Netanyahu by the U.S. government.

    Netanyahu has made the push button a trigger for mayhem and murder—acts of large-scale terrorism. He and his predecessors have always characterized offensive acts violating the laws of war as “acceptable” defensive tactics.

    The supine Congress and White House regularly rubber-stamp their violations of several U.S. laws on behalf of the Israeli government. (See the letter sent to John Kirby on September 12, 2024).

    Consider the aftermath. No denunciation by U.S. President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, or Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

    Alarmingly, there were no editorials in the following week criticizing Netanyahu in The Washington Post and The New York Times.

    Imagine if Hezbollah did this to Israeli society. The devaluation of Palestinian and Lebanese lives can only be called racist.

    U.S. blowback analysts are apprehensive about the spread of Israeli-style “red button” explosives and the ingenious, and ever-cheaper armed drones. They see such technologies as potential threats within the U.S.

    Such is the peril of nations whose leaders wage constant profitable, preventable wars and decline to wage muscular peace with comparable determination.

    Pope says Israel’s bombings in Lebanon, Gaza ‘immoral’

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    On Sunday, the pope was asked about Israel’s targeted killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Friday’s strike on Beirut, which led to many casualties and reduced several buildings to rubble.

    “Every day I call the parish of Gaza. More than 600 people are there, inside the parish and the college, and they tell me about the things that are happening, including the cruelties that are occurring there,” he told journalists.

    “[D]efense must always be proportionate to the attack,” he added.

    “When there is something disproportionate, a domineering tendency that goes beyond morality is evident,” the pope said.

    “A country that, with its forces, does these things—I’m talking about any country—that does these things in such a “superlative” way, these are immoral actions,” he added.

    “Even in war, there is morality to be safe-guarded. War is immoral, but the rules of war indicate some morality. But when this is not respected, you can see—as we say in Argentina—the “bad blood” of these things.”

    Jared Kushner says Israel must ‘finish the job’ in Lebanon

    Al Jazeera reports:

    Jared Kushner, who served as a senior adviser during former US President Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House, has said calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon is “wrong”.

    In a post on X, Kushner said Israel “cannot afford now to not finish the job” and dismantle Hezbollah completely.“They will never get another chance. After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned,” said Kushner, who is also the Republican candidate’s son-in-law.
    He added that the “right move” for the US is to allow Israel to “finish the job. It’s long overdue”.

    In March, Kushner sparked controversy when he publicly praised the “very valuable potential” of “waterfront property” in Gaza, in comments that gave a window into what Trump’s policy on Palestine could be during his second term.

    During Trump’s presidency, Kushner played a major role in negotiating the “Abraham Accords”: normalization deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. Palestinians slammed the agreements as “a stab in the back of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people”.

    At one point, Trump’s son-in-law described Gaza as having no historical context – “It was the result of a war – you had tribes that went different places and then Gaza became a thing.”

    Before leading in the creation of Trump’s so-called Deal of the Century, Kushner claimed his expertise on the subject came from reading 25 books about Palestine.

    Russian foreign minister urges Israel to abandon ‘essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores’

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov urged Israel on Saturday to abandon “essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores” as he commented on the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

    Lavrov said at a news conference in New York that he had the impression that Israel is trying to provoke Iran and the Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, to push the US into direct involvement in the conflict in the Middle East.

    The Russian diplomat noted that Nasrallah’s murder was not the first provocative step by Israel. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in July in the Iranian capital of Tehran where he went to take part in the funeral of President Ebrahim Raisi. Before that, Israel attacked the Iranian diplomatic mission in the Syrian capital of Damascus.

    “Apparently, Israel wants to create a reason for the US to get involved in this war. And in order to create this reason, it has been provoking both Iran and Hezbollah. In this situation, Iranian leadership is behaving extremely responsibly,” he said. “I don’t think this is the right course, I am convinced that the bloodshed must be stopped.”

    Asked about Israel’s willingness to implement UN Security Council resolutions, Lavrov said: “I do not see Israel’s desire to carry out any peace plans.”

    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – SEPTEMBER 29:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 29, 2024: at least 42,334* (41,615 in Gaza* – 11,308 women (30%), 16,859 children as of September 5. [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

    This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 719 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

    Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

    Ralph Nader earlier estimated 300,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.

    At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 25 from West Bank).
    At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
    About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
    Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
    Palestinian injuries from October 7 – September 29: at least 102,059 (including at least 96,359 in Gaza and 5,700 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

    Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 29, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

    The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is 1,640 (104 children, 194 women) and 8,408 injuries. More recently, since September 16, 1,030 have been killed, 6,352 have been injured., with 6,352 injuries, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Saturday, September 28.

    NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers.

    *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.

    **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals.

    ***The figure does not include the reportedly 53 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.

    † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

At least four Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Umm al-Fahm School in the town of Beit Lahia, which serves to shelter displaced civilians in the northern Gaza Strip. The Lebanese health ministry has reported that Israeli air strikes on Sunday killed at least 109 individuals and left 364 others wounded across the country. An entire family of 17 members was wiped out by an Israeli airstrike on Sunday in the town of Zboud, in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, Lebanese media said. In Yemen, at least four people were killed and 49 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on the western city of Al Hudaydah on Sunday, the Houthi group said. Around 17,000 children killed in Israeli war on Gaza, Palestinian authorities say Anadolu Agency reports: Around 17,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip since last October, according to local authorities on Sunday. “Around 25,973 Palestinian children now live in Gaza without one or both parents due to the Israeli aggression,” Ismail al-Thawabta, who heads Gaza’s government media office, told Anadolu. He said at least 16,859 children, including 171 infants, have been killed in Israeli attacks since Oct. 7, 2023. The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has repeatedly warned that “Gaza’s children have endured unimaginable horrors” under relentless Israeli attacks.

Mahmoud ssa / Anadolu via Getty Images (photo) Gaza: Israel’s destruction of agricultural land is expression of its insistence on committing genocide Euro Med Monitor reports: Israel has once again destroyed hundreds of dunams of agricultural land, depriving Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip of agricultural land and resources vital to survival, all in support of its illegal blockade of the Strip and tight restrictions on the entry of food supplies for almost a full year. This is an expression of Israel’s insistence on committing genocide against Palestinians in the enclave. Israel has forced over 75% of agricultural land in the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian people’s hands, either by isolating it in preparation for illegally annexing it to its military “buffer zone” or by bulldozing or otherwise damaging it, thereby destroying the Strip’s supply of fruits, vegetables, and meat. This destruction is part of a larger Israeli plan that dates back to last October. Under this plan, Israeli forces have worked to eliminate almost 80% of the agricultural land in the Gaza Strip from use by Palestinians. Israel has done this either by isolating it in preparation for its forcible annexation to the so-called “buffer zone” or by bulldozing or destroying it by other means, such as bombardment—all of which are in violation of international law. According to the Euro-Med Monitor field team, Israeli forces stormed the area of Al-Shimaa in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, early on Tuesday morning (25 September 2024). Accompanied by military bulldozers, the forces began their bulldozing operations, destroying more than 500 dunums of newly replanted agricultural land, which was supposed to sustain the needs of the people living in northern Gaza, who are subject to an arbitrary siege and systematic starvation by Israel. The Israeli destruction of these agricultural lands, the majority of which were filled with eggplants, reflects Israel’s insistence on preventing the Palestinian people from depending on the region’s agricultural food basket during a period when sufficient supplies of vegetables and other foods are being kept out of the northern Gaza Strip. This has led to a severe famine, to the point where a significant portion of the people in the north have been forced to eat tree leaves and bake ground-up animal feed instead of flour.

Palestinian security in Gaza says spying devices found in displacement camps Middle East Monitor reports: The Palestinian security services in Gaza have in recent days seized Israeli spying equipment planted in a shelter for displaced families in the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian resistance media platform reported on its Telegram channel yesterday. The platform quoted a security officer as saying that “the [Israeli] occupation intelligence had disguised the seized spying devices with different shapes, so they appear as part of the surrounding and natural environment including in the form of a rock.” The officer suggested the Israeli intelligence planted the spying devices via Quadcopter drones, calling on everyone “not to tamper with any suspicious devices and to contact the security officers immediately.” Tent camp near Al-Aqsa Hospital that was hit by a deadly Israeli air attack [Abdallah FS Alattar/Anadolu] Tent camp near Al-Aqsa Hospital that was hit by a recent deadly Israeli air attack [Abdallah FS Alattar/Anadolu] (photo) From Gaza to Lebanon: Israel’s Bombing Campaign Backed by Media Propaganda MintPress News reports: Western corporate media outlets, including the BBC, CNN, and The New York Times, have been working overtime to justify Israel’s recent assault on Lebanon, which claimed the lives of approximately 600 people in a single day. These reports have repeatedly claimed that the Israeli strikes were targeting “Hezbollah positions,” an assertion that has been widely echoed without substantial scrutiny. Israel’s large-scale onslaught against civilian areas throughout Lebanon, which began on Monday, was covered by Western corporate media as “strikes on Hezbollah.” CNN’s story on the first day of the assault, after around 500 people had been killed across Lebanon, was titled, “Israeli Strikes Targeting Hezbollah Kill Hundreds Across Lebanon.” The New York Times set up a live events feed labeled “Israel Strikes Hezbollah Targets in Lebanon.” Even Reuters and the Associated Press, two of the most reputable Western news providers, framed the events as an escalation from “both sides,” covering Israel’s attack on Hezbollah. A Reuters article published Tuesday opens with a telling lede: “An Israeli airstrike on Beirut killed a senior Hezbollah commander on Tuesday as cross-border rocket attacks by both sides increased fears of a full-fledged war in the Middle East, and Lebanon said only Washington could help end the fighting.” Israel has made no secret of the fact that it is targeting civilians, as demonstrated by its release of a CGI video showing mockups of Lebanese villages, where missiles are allegedly stored in homes. Despite this, much of the Western media has yet to acknowledge these admissions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dispelled any remaining doubt when he delivered a message in English to the people of Lebanon in which he claimed, “Hezbollah has been using you as human shields.” He further stated, “They’ve placed rockets in your living rooms” and “missiles in your garage.” (Read the full analysis here.) Garbage situation in Gaza is catastrophic Various agencies report: UNRWA, the United Nations group serving Palestinian refugees, says: Mountains of garbage are piling up in Gaza middle areas as sewage leaks onto streets. Families have no choice but to live beside the accumulated waste, exposed to the reek and the threat of a looming health disaster. Sanitary and living conditions across Gaza are inhumane. According to ReliefWeb, the waste management system in Gaza, already limited before the war, has now completely collapsed as collection vehicles have been destroyed and access to official landfills is refused by the Israeli military. Waste attracts rodents and insects resulting in the spread of infectious diseases such as cholera or skin diseases, while waste burning, a disposal method that locals use to manage the current emergency, worsens air pollution which in turn can result in further respiratory problems. People, many of whom are children, scavenging waste for food and sustenance, face additional risks from hazardous materials, which include medical waste and industrial chemicals. There are also growing indications that conflict pollution is risked with the spread of antimicrobial resistance, a development that can deepen the medical health crisis. Large waste dumps are also a threat to the soil and groundwater, as leachate, a toxic mix that spills from the waste, seeps into the land and affects groundwater, while in the long-term, increased methane release from landfills contributes to an increase of greenhouse gas emissions.

We have no other choice,” he noted. Mikati also reaffirmed Lebanon’s commitment to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

He said his office is conducting a series of investigations related to the failures that led to the Oct. 7 attack. “We are nearing completion of this report, but to finalize it, we need to meet with three individuals in the military,” Englman added. He emphasized that Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi believes that the State Comptroller’s office should not intervene in military issues, declaring him “wrong.” The State Comptroller’s office is Israel’s central institution for overseeing various state agencies to ensure public financial accountability.

Mark Kelly, chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland Subcommittee, said Israel used a 2,000-lb (900-kg) Mark 84 series bomb, during an interview with NBC. His statement marks the first U.S. indication of what weapon had been used. “We see more use of guided munitions, JDAMs, and we continue to provide those weapons,” Kelly said, using an abbreviation that stands for Joint Direct Attack Munitions. “That 2,000-pound bomb that was used, that’s a Mark 84 series bomb, to take out Nasrallah,” he said. The Israeli military said on Saturday it had eliminated Nasrallah in a strike on the group’s central command headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburbs. The Israeli military has declined to comment on what weapons were used in the attack. The Pentagon was not immediately available for comment. JDAMs convert a standard unguided bomb using fins and a GPS guidance system into a guided weapon. AL JAZEERA ADDS: Israel media says about 85 so-called “bunker-buster” bombs were used in the attack on Hasan Nasrallah. Also known as “ground penetration munition”, these missiles burrow deep into the ground before they detonate. They have the power to destroy underground facilities and reinforced concrete buildings.

This savagery prompted Leon Panetta, former director of the CIA and former secretary of defense, in an interview on the CBS “Sunday Morning” news show to charge Israel with “terrorism.” No prominent national security figure has ever assailed Israel this way. Herewith his words: The ability to be able to place an explosive in technology that is very prevalent these days. And turn it into a war of terror. Really, a war of terror. This is something new. I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism…This is going right into the supply chain, right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question, what the hell is next? Panetta would never have uttered these words without the concurrence of the CIA and the Department of Defense. Still no consequences for Netanyahu by the U.S. government. Netanyahu has made the push button a trigger for mayhem and murder—acts of large-scale terrorism. He and his predecessors have always characterized offensive acts violating the laws of war as “acceptable” defensive tactics. The supine Congress and White House regularly rubber-stamp their violations of several U.S. laws on behalf of the Israeli government. (See the letter sent to John Kirby on September 12, 2024). Consider the aftermath. No denunciation by U.S. President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, or Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Alarmingly, there were no editorials in the following week criticizing Netanyahu in The Washington Post and The New York Times. Imagine if Hezbollah did this to Israeli society. The devaluation of Palestinian and Lebanese lives can only be called racist. U.S. blowback analysts are apprehensive about the spread of Israeli-style “red button” explosives and the ingenious, and ever-cheaper armed drones. They see such technologies as potential threats within the U.S. Such is the peril of nations whose leaders wage constant profitable, preventable wars and decline to wage muscular peace with comparable determination.

More than 600 people are there, inside the parish and the college, and they tell me about the things that are happening, including the cruelties that are occurring there,” he told journalists. “[D]efense must always be proportionate to the attack,” he added. “When there is something disproportionate, a domineering tendency that goes beyond morality is evident,” the pope said. “A country that, with its forces, does these things—I’m talking about any country—that does these things in such a “superlative” way, these are immoral actions,” he added. “Even in war, there is morality to be safe-guarded. War is immoral, but the rules of war indicate some morality. But when this is not respected, you can see—as we say in Argentina—the “bad blood” of these things.” Jared Kushner says Israel must ‘finish the job’ in Lebanon Al Jazeera reports: Jared Kushner, who served as a senior adviser during former US President Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House, has said calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon is “wrong”. In a post on X, Kushner said Israel “cannot afford now to not finish the job” and dismantle Hezbollah completely.“They will never get another chance. After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned,” said Kushner, who is also the Republican candidate’s son-in-law. He added that the “right move” for the US is to allow Israel to “finish the job. It’s long overdue”. In March, Kushner sparked controversy when he publicly praised the “very valuable potential” of “waterfront property” in Gaza, in comments that gave a window into what Trump’s policy on Palestine could be during his second term. During Trump’s presidency, Kushner played a major role in negotiating the “Abraham Accords”: normalization deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. Palestinians slammed the agreements as “a stab in the back of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people”. At one point, Trump’s son-in-law described Gaza as having no historical context – “It was the result of a war – you had tribes that went different places and then Gaza became a thing.” Before leading in the creation of Trump’s so-called Deal of the Century, Kushner claimed his expertise on the subject came from reading 25 books about Palestine. Russian foreign minister urges Israel to abandon ‘essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores’ Anadolu Agency reports: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov urged Israel on Saturday to abandon “essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores” as he commented on the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Lavrov said at a news conference in New York that he had the impression that Israel is trying to provoke Iran and the Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, to push the US into direct involvement in the conflict in the Middle East. The Russian diplomat noted that Nasrallah’s murder was not the first provocative step by Israel. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in July in the Iranian capital of Tehran where he went to take part in the funeral of President Ebrahim Raisi. Before that, Israel attacked the Iranian diplomatic mission in the Syrian capital of Damascus. “Apparently, Israel wants to create a reason for the US to get involved in this war. And in order to create this reason, it has been provoking both Iran and Hezbollah. In this situation, Iranian leadership is behaving extremely responsibly,” he said. “I don’t think this is the right course, I am convinced that the bloodshed must be stopped.” Asked about Israel’s willingness to implement UN Security Council resolutions, Lavrov said: “I do not see Israel’s desire to carry out any peace plans.” Lebanese Red Cross teams conducted search and rescue operations in the rubble of collapsed buildings following an Israeli army attack in Nabatieh province of southern Lebanon, on September 27, 2024.

    Mass Walkout as ‘Global Pariah’ Netanyahu Addresses UN General Assembly

    Common Dreams reports:

    A large number of diplomats and other officials walked out of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Friday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to defend his nation’s slaughter of more than 41,000 people in the Gaza Strip during the past year and over 700 in Lebanon this week.

    Journalists and critics of the “global pariah” shared photos and videos of people filing out of the hall before Netanyahu’s address—which came just a day after 25 anti-genocide protesters were arrested for blocking his motorcade in Manhattan.

    While there was some audience applause from the sparsely populated room on Friday, Al Jazeera Arabic’s Rami Ayari explained that “the people you hear cheering the PM during the speech are in the gallery who he brought for that purpose.”

    Netanyahu began his Friday address by taking aim at the world leaders who throughout the week have condemned the recent escalation against Hezbollah in Lebanon as well as the past year of Israeli forces bombing and starving Palestinians in Gaza.

    “I didn’t intend to come here this year. My country is at war fighting for its life,” Netanyahu said. “But, after I heard the lies and slanders leveled at my country by many of the speakers standing at this podium, I decided to come here and set the record straight.”

    Armed with more of his infamous maps of the Middle East, the right-wing leader went on to claim that “Israel seeks peace,” while also pledging to wage war on Hamas-governed Gaza until “total victory” and telling “the tyrants of Tehran” that “if you strike us, we will strike you.”

    Noting that Netanyahu also spoke of “savage enemies who seek to destroy our common civilization,” James Zogby, co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute, said: “Words spoken by the man who has been charged with genocide and crimes against humanity. This is a disgrace. Abusing the General Assembly platform to lie and incite.”

    JEWISH NEWS SYNDICATE (JNS) ADDS: Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. envoy to the global body, and Robert Wood, the political special affairs ambassador who tends to take her place at the Security Council, did not appear to be in the room.

    An excerpt from Netanyahu’s defiant speech to the UN – to a largely empty chamber, except for the guest area, which was filled with Israel supporters:



    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also declared,

    I say to you, until Israel – until the Jewish state – is treated like other nations, until this anti-Semitic swamp is drained, the UN will be viewed by fair-minded people everywhere as nothing more than a contemptuous farce.

    Popularity of Netanyahu’s Likud party grows as Israel pounds Lebanon: Survey

    Al Jazeera reports:

    A poll conducted by Israeli daily Maariv shows that Israel’s deadly attacks on Lebanon have significantly boosted the popularity of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party.

    If elections were held today, Likud would lead with 25 seats in the Knesset, compared with 19 for its main rival, the opposition National Unity party led by Benny Gantz, the survey showed.

    This is the first time since the war on Gaza began last year that Likud has gained such an advantage, the newspaper said.

    Blinken faces calls to resign after lying to Congress to cover for Israel’s genocide

    Middle East Monitor reports:

    US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is facing mounting pressure to resign after a report earlier this week uncovered that he misled Congress about Israel’s obstruction of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

    The 62-year-old, who is a staunch Zionist, is said to have misled the American people to maintain US weapons flow to Israel despite fears that the apartheid state is committing genocide in Gaza.

    The report details how Blinken contradicted findings from his own department’s experts and USAID in a May report to Congress, stating that Israel was not “prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of US humanitarian assistance” to Gaza.

    It’s believed that Blinken misled the government because US law prohibits the supply of arms to countries blocking American humanitarian aid.

    Israel is a small country lacking the means to manufacture weapons at a rate required to execute regular wars and preserve its so-called deterrence capacity.

    Israel’s ability to carry out a year-long assault on Gaza would be severely hampered without the constant supply of weapons from the US and its western allies.

    US to ‘adjust’ its military force posture in Middle East

    Al Jazeera reports:

    President Joe Biden directed the Pentagon to “assess and adjust as necessary US force posture” in the Middle East, the White House says, following repeated Israeli air strikes in southern Beirut collapsed at least six residential towers in the heavily populated Dahiyeh area.

    “He has directed the Pentagon to assess and adjust as necessary US force posture in the region to enhance deterrence, ensure force protection, and support the full range of US objectives,” the White House said in a statement.

    Secretary of State Blinken said Friday, “I want to be clear that anyone using this moment to target American personnel, American interests in the region – the United States will take every measure to defend our people.”

    MILITARY TIMES ADDS: The U.S. has kept an increased military presence in the Middle East throughout much of the past year, with about 40,000 forces, at least a dozen warships and four Air Force fighter jet squadrons spread across the region both to protect allies and to serve as a deterrent against attacks, several U.S. officials said.

    Israel accused of breaking global labor law by withholding Palestinian worker pay

    The Guardian reports:

    Ten trade unions have accused Israel of breaching international labor law by holding back pay and benefits from more than 200,000 Palestinian workers since 7 October.

    The Israeli government stands accused of “blatant” violations of the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) protection of wages convention, tipping many Palestinians into extreme poverty.

    Workers from Gaza and the West Bank, employed in Israel, did not receive payment for work completed prior to last October 7th, and have received no wages since, according to the complaint.

    A complaint filed on Friday aims to recover the wages of Palestinian workers who previously worked in Israel.

    Israel revoked work permits for about 13,000 Palestinian workers from the Gaza Strip to work legally in Israel following the Hamas attack on 7 October, according to the complaint, leaving those workers with unpaid wages from September and October. Those wages would have normally been paid on 9 October.

    An additional nearly 200,000 Palestinian workers from the West Bank employed in Israel have not been permitted to enter Israel, and have received no termination notices, according to the brief, which argues they are owed wages stipulated by their employment contracts for their previous work and subsequent months.

    The unions allege that Israel is violating the ILO’s protection of wages convention, which has been ratified by a hundred member states, including Israel in 1959…

    US’ Blinken urges diplomacy as Israel intensifies attacks in Lebanon

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday called for path to diplomacy as Israel intensified its strikes in Lebanon, warning both Israel and Hezbollah to “stop firing”.

    “The most important thing to do through diplomacy is to try first to stop firing in both directions, and then to use the time that we would have in such a ceasefire to see if we can reach a broader diplomatic agreement,” Blinken told reporters at a news conference on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

    “The path to diplomacy may seem difficult to see at this moment, but it is there, and in our judgment, is necessary, and we will continue to work intensely with all parties to urge them to choose that course,” he said.

    NOTE: Blinken’s both-sides-ism sidesteps the facts: Israel has been responsible for about 82 percent of the cross-border attacks.



    Google Was Set to Host an Israeli Military Conference. When We Asked About It, the Event Disappeared.

    The Intercept reports:

    The Israel Defense Tech Conference, aimed at tech companies working with the Israeli military, was scheduled for November at the Google for Startups campus in Tel Aviv.

    The event, according to a listing posted on the event management app Luma, was pitched at “founders, investors and innovators” looking to network and learn more about the defense tech space.

    It was co-sponsored by Google; Fusion Venture Capital; Genesis, a startup accelerator; and the Israeli military’s research and development arm, known as the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D, or Ma’fat).

    Google was not only listed as the physical host of the event and one of its sponsors, but the event listing also included a notice that attendees “approve of sharing [their] details with the organizers (Fusion & Google)” as part of signing up.

    When The Intercept contacted Google and the other companies and venture capital firms on the event page, the event page disappeared. Google spokesperson Andréa Willis told The Intercept in an email, “Google is not associated with this event.”

    Willis did not respond when asked how this could be possible if Google is hosting and co-sponsoring the event, or why the event page went down. None of the other companies or venture capital firms on the event page responded to requests for comment.

    After months of sustained protests against Google’s relationship with Israel, the company appears to be trying to muddy that relationship, at least in the public eye, while continuing its collaboration with the Israeli military…

    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – SEPTEMBER 27:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 27, 2024: at least 42,304* (41,586 in Gaza* – 11,308 women (30%), 16,715 children as of September 5. [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

    This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 718 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

    Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

    Ralph Nader earlier estimated 300,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.

    At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 23 from West Bank).
    At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
    About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
    Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
    Palestinian injuries from October 7 – September 27: at least 101,910 (including at least 96,210 in Gaza and 5,700 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

    Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 27, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

    The death toll from Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon since Oct. 8 has reached 1,540 including women and children, with some 5,410 injured, a Lebanese official said Wednesday. The number of displaced individuals registered in approved shelters is 77,100. The actual number of displaced people has likely surpassed 250,000.

    NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers.

    *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.

    **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals.

    ***More than 40 of the deaths listed above were Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah in fighting at the Israel-Lebanon border. The figure does not include the reportedly 53 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.

    † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

  • IN THE QUEST FOR PEACE IN A GOD REJECTED WORLD (ISA.9:6)

    RELATING THE RADICAL FAITH OF ABRAHAM TO OUR TIMES. (GEN. 12:1-2)

    Every community of people living together worldwide, all have their separate and distinct CULTURE AND CUSTOMS. Only one COMMUNITY GLOBALLY HAS A DISTINCTIVE FEATURE OF CULTURE THAT'S EASILY IDENTIFIABLE WITHOUT ANY FORM OF INTRODUCTION .

    That community is Christianity and the distinctive culture is*FAITH.* Many of course would debate or argue it ,but I won't, because it's my absolute belief and life.

    INDEED, I AM QUESTIONING MYSELF IF I AM WORTHY OF TALKING OR TEACHING ABOUT THIS, CONSIDERING MY EMOTIONAL MOMENTS WHEN IT SEEMS IT'S OVER WITH ME! YET GOD REMAINS GOD.

    But the truth can't be denied that we SERIOUSLY NEED THIS KIND OF EXPERIENCE NOW MORE THAN EVER. Since I ran into it by His leading, (Abraham's kind of faith),I had to share with us.

    RADICAL FAITH isn’t a term you’ll find explicitly in Scripture, but it’s a powerful concept woven throughout the Bible’s narrative. From Abraham stepping into the unknown to David facing giants with unwavering trust, the stories of radical faith inspire and challenge us.

    In a world where faith often takes a backseat, the biblical accounts of those who dared to believe God wholeheartedly stand out. They didn’t just have faith; they had radical faith that changed their lives and the course of history. And if you see and feel what is happening in the world today, you will understand how these experiences of Biblical characters who FAITHED IT OUT can teach us about living a faith-filled life today.

    Radical faith in the Bible illustrates a profound trust in God’s plan, exemplified by figures like Abraham, who left everything behind based on God’s promise, showing complete reliance beyond human understanding.
    Courage to act on belief despite fear or uncertainty is a common thread among these Biblical narratives, with stories like David facing Goliath, embodying faith that defies logic and emphasizes action grounded in trust in God.

    Remember Genesis 22:1-2;

    Perhaps you’ve grown too comfortable with the idea that God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son. If we come to the story fresh it is incomprehensible. There is no category for this other than psychopathy—what would you say about someone who told you God spoke to them and told them to kill their children?

    Abraham didn't have the heart to tell Sarah... they're going for a routine sacrifice. But what his men?

    And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. (Gen 22: 5)

    You know why? If the men followed him, they WILL INSTEAD TIE THEIR MASTER UP THAT AN EVIL SPIRIT HAS POSSESSED HIM...trust me.

    And then the New Testament continues to highlight examples of radical faith, such as the woman with the issue of blood, who believed in healing through merely touching Christ Jesus’ garment, (a once wealthy lady who for twelve years spent her entire fortune seeking medical help to no avail... became poor and probably smelling,but somehow knew by what she had heard about this Man, Christ Jesus,that her problem had come to an end if she could only but touch the helm of His Garment. But who will allow her, especially with her smelly frailty.. but she hung on and got her not only , but the most precious of all gifts*SALVATION*

    And then the Roman centurion’s faith in Christ Jesus’ word alone to heal, demonstrating faith’s power to transcend societal and cultural barriers.

    Radical faith is characterized not just by believing in God but by taking bold actions based on that belief, shown through both Old and New Testament examples where actions, driven by faith, led to divine interventions and miracles.

    True faith, as showcased in these biblical accounts, is living, breathing, and actively urging believers today to not only trust in God’s promises but also to act on them, even when the path ahead seems unclear or impossible.

    Jumping into the Scriptures, stories of RADICAL FAITH leap off the pages. Let’s explore some remarkable examples.

    Abraham’s journey is iconic. Imagine just packing up, leaving everything familiar behind, based solely on God’s promise. His story in Hebrews 11:8 (NKJV) is a profound testament to radical faith: “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.”

    This shows a complete trust in God’s plan, beyond human understanding.

    Then, there’s Caleb. In Joshua 14:8 (NKJV), Caleb boldly proclaims, “But I wholly followed the Lord my God.” Even though the fear and doubt among his peers, Caleb’s faith did not waver. He stood firm, convinced of God’s promise.

    David, the shepherd boy turned king, had faith that defies logic. Facing Goliath, he declared in 1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV), “I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts.” His reliance on God in the face of certain death encapsulates radical faith.

    Finally, but not the least is, Isaiah’s call in Isaiah 6:8 (NKJV) is a moment of radical surrender. When God asked, “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Isaiah responded, “Here am I! Send me.” His readiness to serve, without knowing the full extent of his mission, underscores a deep trust in God.

    Radical faith isn’t just about believing in God. It’s about acting on that belief, even when the path ahead is unclear. These Biblical figures didn’t have a roadmap or a backup plan. They had something far more powerful – TRUST IN GOD'S WORD.

    Abraham’s Faith in God’s Promise
    I’ve always been struck by Abraham’s story. The guy really took faith to another level. Imagine leaving everything you know because God told you to. That’s exactly what Abraham did. He didn’t even know where he was going. But he went anyway. That’s faith.

    God promised Abraham a son. And not just any son, but a son through whom nations would come. Now, Abraham was old. Really old. But he didn’t let doubt win. He believed God’s promise, no matter how impossible it seemed.

    “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” (Romans 4:20-21 NKJV)

    THAT IS THE KIND OF FAITH WE NOT ONLY WANT,BUT CLEARLY NEED AS BELIEVERS IN THESE TIMES. THE KIND THAT STICKS WITH GOD'S PROMISE, NO MATTER WHAT.

    Moses’ Faith to Lead the Israelites is another reference point in the RADICAL FAITH COVETING.
    Yes, he is another giant in the faith game. The guy had a pretty comfy and quiet life with his father in law, Jethro, but then God asked him to go back to Egypt. Back to the place where he was wanted for murder. And for what? To demand the release of God’s people.

    Imagine the scene. Moses, standing in front of Pharaoh, with nothing but a staff. Yet, he was bold. He trusted God to deliver His people. And God did. In big, epic ways. Plagues, parting seas, you name it.

    “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.” (Hebrews 11:23 NKJV)

    Moses’ faith didn’t just start when he was an adult. It was part of his story from the beginning, thanks to his parents’ faith. They hid him away, defying the king’s order. That’s radical faith – the kind that acts, even though fear.

    In each of these stories, I see a pattern. FAITH IN GOD'S PROMISE LEADS TO ACTION.
    Abraham left his home. And Moses faced Pharaoh.

    Both actions seemed crazy. But they did it because they trusted God’s word. Their faith wasn’t just a feeling. It was living. Breathing. Active. That’s the kind of faith I’m talking about, THAT WE NEED TO CONFRONT THE DEVIL HIMSELF, WHO IS NO LONGER HIDING HIMSELF AGAIN, BUT OPERATING THROUGH MANY PASTORS WHO HAVE EXCHANGED THIER ETERNAL SECURITY FOR EXOTIC LIFE IN A WORLD ALREADY MARKED FOR ENTIRE DESTRUCTION BY GOD'S FURY, OPERATING THROUGH SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS IN PRODUCING WONDERS TO LURE GOD'S CHILDREN FROM THE ANCIENT PATH OF HOLINESS... THROUGH THE INTERNET, SOCIAL MEDIA IN PARTICULAR WHERE YOU SEE THEOLOGY PROFESSORS DEBATING WHAT'S RIGHT OR WRONG, TRYING TO EXERT INTELLECTUAL SUPERIORITY, AND IN THE PROCESS DISTRACTING MANY A MAN FROM WHAT TO BELIEVE.

    WITH RADICAL FAITH WE CAN TAKE OVER THE SOCIAL MEDIA FROM LUCIFERS HATCHET MEN.

    With the stories of true faith, that jump at our face from the Scriptures,even the seemingly impossible becomes possible.

    What does it mean to be radical in the Bible?
    In Biblical terms, being RADICAL involves seeking a profound relationship with the Lord, obeying His directives, assuming the authority given by Christ Jesus, and prioritizing spiritual growth and devotion above all else.

    Does trust only mean to have faith in God?
    No, trust is a broader concept that plays a vital role in relationships, encompassing faith in God as well as confidence in people and circumstances. Faith and trust intertwine, especially in spiritual contexts.
    Radical faith manifests as perseverance regardless of emotions. It transcends mood or feelings, focusing on steadfastly doing what is right according to faith, even when it doesn’t align with one’s immediate desires or sentiments.

    MY VERY DEAR BRETHREN, IT'S THIS KIND OF FAITH WE SHOULD SEEK FOR , AND HOLD UNTO, IF WE MUST DISMANTLE LUCIFER'S NETWORK.

    IT'S NOT AS IF, WE CAN GET EVERYONE ON OUR SIDE(GOD'S KINGDOM), BUT WE MUST MAKE A DESPERATE EFFORT TO DEPOPULATE THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS.

    Actually, God doesn't want any of us to perish with the world. Hence, He has been tolerant giving us time for those of us who haven't repented to repent;
    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2Pe 3: 9)
    And those saved to go all out to the unsaved and make them realize what awaits them.
    AND IT'S ONLY THIS RADICAL FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS THAT FIRSTLY, SAVE US FROM THE WORLDLY TRAPS OF SATAN, AND SECONDLY, GO ALL OUT IN A BATTLE MOOD(COMPASSION REALLY) FOR THOSE YET UNDER THE ENEMY'S DECEPTION.
    MAY CHRIST JESUS EMPOWER US HIMSELF, AMEN !

    ByWindlander September 11, 2024
    Hello readers, welcome back to another episode of Beyond Blue Beam. We continue our journey into the realms of mystery and intrigue. Is it fiction or is it reality? “Red is grey and yellow white but we decide which is right and which is an illusion” (The Moody Blues) You decide! Share your thoughts in the comments. Also please feel free to add whatever other information you have to add to the article in the comments. Meanwhile, relax and enjoy the read.

    Today, we embark on another thrilling journey through time, space, and possibly even different realities. As usual, buckle up for an intriguing exploration of diverse topics.

    We begin our journey with more data regarding Antarctica. Followed by more interesting information, that we trust you will enjoy.

    The James Clark Ross Expedition of 1836

    Led by the British naval officer James Clark Ross aboard HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, was a pioneering Antarctic mission notable for its significant geographical and scientific contributions. Despite facing severe weather, challenging ice conditions, and logistical difficulties, the expedition successfully mapped the Ross Sea and Ross Ice Shelf, and provided valuable data on the continent’s geology and meteorology. While the harsh conditions posed great challenges, the mission is celebrated for its groundbreaking achievements in Antarctic exploration, laying the groundwork for future discoveries in the region.

    Terra Nova Expedition

    British explorer Robert Falcon Scott led the Terra Nova Expedition to Antarctica in the winter of 1910, aimed to reach the South Pole and conduct scientific research. Scott and his team reached the pole on January 17, 1912, only to find that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them there by about a month. The return journey was marked by extreme hardship and tragic failure, as Scott and his four companions perished on their way back, falling victim to starvation, exhaustion, and the brutal Antarctic conditions. Despite their tragic end, Scott’s expedition contributed significantly to polar science and remains a poignant chapter in the history of exploration. What did his team discover?

    “The eyes of that species of extinct giant, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara as our eyes do now” – Abraham Lincoln

    Fake Moon Landing And More

    In 1968, the BBC revealed startling information about the upcoming fake moon landing, which would occur a year later in 1969. This preemptive disclosure outlined a detailed plan for staging the moon landing, including the use of elaborate set designs and high-level government coordination to fabricate the entire event. According to the report, the moon landing was orchestrated to advance political agendas and boost national pride, while the true nature of the mission was kept secret from the public. This revelation from the BBC, though astonishing, set the stage for understanding the extensive deception behind the Apollo missions and highlighted the significant role of media in perpetuating the illusion of space exploration.

    Is our time line really accurate ?

    Bells

    Many of the old world bells were destroyed, buried, & replaced to hide the importance of acoustic resonance. We’re told they had to melt them down to create ammunition for our fabricated wars.

    What we weren’t told was these bells emanated a particular energy/frequency/vibration used to disseminate & broadcast aethereal healing energy from these temples & cathedrals. Remember that no architectural element of antiquity was just decoration, everything held a function/purpose.

    The destruction of these bells share the same ill intent of those who switched the musical pitch standard from 432Hz to 440Hz. Why would we be openly allowed such gifts of acoustic healing & free energy so long as the controllers aim to profit off our sickness & dependency?

    They pretend to do research, but all they do is distract humanity from reality. In addition to clones and hybrids, we also find robots in political and economic decision-making levels, approving decisions and we wonder why our world is the way it is.

    The Lasosky Multi-Wave Oscillator, developed by Dr. George Lasosky, is a notable device that uses a range of electromagnetic frequencies to promote health and well-being. According to reports, the oscillator emits multiple frequencies designed to interact with the body’s energy fields and cellular processes, leading to benefits such as enhanced circulation, stress reduction, and overall improved health. This device has gained attention in alternative medicine for its innovative approach to wellness, leveraging its multi-wave emission to influence biological systems positively. This was an extremely popular treatment during the 1920s and 30s. Lasosky’s multi-wave oscillator consisted of a series of concentric rings or antenna.

This revelation from the BBC, though astonishing, set the stage for understanding the extensive deception behind the Apollo missions and highlighted the significant role of media in perpetuating the illusion of space exploration. Is our time line really accurate ? Bells Many of the old world bells were destroyed, buried, & replaced to hide the importance of acoustic resonance. We’re told they had to melt them down to create ammunition for our fabricated wars. What we weren’t told was these bells emanated a particular energy/frequency/vibration used to disseminate & broadcast aethereal healing energy from these temples & cathedrals. Remember that no architectural element of antiquity was just decoration, everything held a function/purpose. The destruction of these bells share the same ill intent of those who switched the musical pitch standard from 432Hz to 440Hz. Why would we be openly allowed such gifts of acoustic healing & free energy so long as the controllers aim to profit off our sickness & dependency?

  • Kamala vs. Trump: Who is More Zionist? - VT Foreign Policy
    September 3, 2024
    VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel

    $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contracts
    Source: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State.

    I am in personal distress. I am an ethnically cleansed Arab-American and the country of my citizenship is funding the ethnic cleansing of our family in Palestine. Many of my cousins and American friends feel the stress each day and, frankly, feel helpless.

    We are looking for answers; for heroes to help us and our families. But all we get is a few tin words from Kamala and a middle finger from the vulgar Trump.

    In our distress, many Arab Americans are beyond offended by the Biden Administration’s actions against Palestinians. In Gaza, they are openly murdering civilians including children and no one is stopping the Americans and Israeli’s.



    In Michigan, which has the most Arab-American voters, the two parties are concerned they will lose those votes and so they are trying to pretend they care about Palestinians; at least for the next 2 months. But we all know that is bullshit. So who should Arab-Americans or any Americans vote for that care for helpless millions of people stuck in the Israeli controlled Gaza concentration camps funded by the US Government?

    The short answer is …

    It does NOT matter! They both equally suck! So stop pretending one is better than the other because there is NO difference! Period!

    The USA is pro-Israel and has been its greatest ally since 1945. Period! End of Story! So if any of you are expecting the USA, the chief funding source for the Euro-Western Outpost in the Middle East commonly known as Israel, to be sympathetic towards Palestinians and the indigenous peoples of the area, well, I refer you to “Chief Always Getting Bullshitted” who now lives on a reservation, whatever the fuck that means.



    In fact, from 1778 to 1871, the United States government entered into more than 500 treaties with the Native American tribes; all of these treaties have since been violated in some way or outright broken by the U.S. government, with Native Americans and First Nations peoples still fighting for their treaty rights. This is how the USA and Israel do their business. And if you were unaware of this reality, then that’s on you.

    Okay, so now you know… stop depending on the USA to save Palestine! And vote your conscience despite the USA policy towards Israel because it matters not! The USA is the problem, not the solution! Wake Up McFly! Anybody Home! Think McMfly Think!

    Never mind the Back To The Future references, if you still think one of these political animals will save Palestine, then let’s take a deeper look at Kamala vs. Trump.

    Comparing the foreign policy positions of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump regarding Israel reveals distinct approaches that reflect their broader political ideologies and party affiliations.

    Both figures have prioritized the U.S.-Israel relationship but have different perspectives on how to maintain and enhance this alliance.

    Below is a comparison of their views and policies on key issues related to Israel:

    U.S.-Israel Relationship

    Donald Trump: During his presidency, Trump adopted a staunchly pro-Israel stance, which was seen as a significant departure from the more balanced approach of his predecessors. Trump’s policies were characterized by a strong personal rapport with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a commitment to solidifying the U.S.-Israel strategic partnership. This included moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. These actions were celebrated by many in Israel and by pro-Israel groups in the United States but drew criticism from some international actors and U.S. political figures who argued they could undermine peace efforts with the Palestinians.

    Kamala Harris: Vice President Harris, aligned with the broader Democratic stance, emphasizes a strong commitment to Israel’s security while also giving the typical same ole bullshit lip service pretending to advocate for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    Harris has voiced her support for Israel’s right to defend itself and has reiterated the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship. However, unlike Trump, her position emphasizes diplomacy and engagement with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority to achieve a peaceful resolution. Harris supports keeping the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem but has been more cautious about unilateral actions that could exacerbate tensions in the region.


    Bibi letting Kamala know where she stands in the scheme of global power!
    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Donald Trump: Trump’s approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was one-sided, favoring Israeli positions. Period! The only thing Trump hides is his head up Bibi’s ass. His administration’s “Peace to Prosperity” plan, unveiled in early 2020, proposed a two-state solution but was criticized for heavily favoring Israeli security needs and territorial claims. The plan included provisions for Israeli annexation of parts of the West Bank, which many Palestinians and international observers viewed as detrimental to the prospects of a viable Palestinian state. Trump’s administration also cut aid to the Palestinians and closed the Palestine Liberation Organization’s office in Washington, D.C.

    Kamala Harris: Harris says she supports a two-state solution and has expressed concern about actions that could undermine this goal, such as settlement expansion in the West Bank. But everyone in the world knows that’s bullshit. It is the same ole words since 1945. Means nothing because the actions are the actions. Harris and the Biden administration say they advocate for renewed diplomatic engagement and have restored aid to the Palestinians that was cut under Trump. Harris emphasizes the need for direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians and has called for both sides to avoid unilateral measures that would make peace more difficult to achieve. Her approach tends to be more balanced, aiming to consider both Israeli security concerns and Palestinian aspirations. But in the end, it’s all 100% Israel and everyone knows it.

    Normalization of Relations with Arab States

    Donald Trump: A significant foreign policy achievement for Trump was the facilitation of normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab states, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco, known collectively as the Abraham Accords. These agreements marked a shift in Middle Eastern dynamics, promoting economic cooperation and reducing isolation for Israel in the region. Trump’s administration positioned these accords as a pathway to broader peace in the Middle East by changing the regional order and shifting focus away from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    Kamala Harris: Harris has expressed support for the Abraham Accords and views them as a positive development for regional stability and economic cooperation. The Biden administration has continued to endorse these normalization efforts and looks to build on them. However, Harris also underscores that while normalization between Israel and Arab states is important, it should not come at the expense of addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She believes that a comprehensive peace in the Middle East must include a viable solution for both Israelis and Palestinians.

    Iran and Regional Security

    Donald Trump: Trump took a hardline stance against Iran, withdrawing from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, which he criticized as flawed and insufficient. His administration imposed stringent sanctions on Iran, aiming to pressure Tehran into renegotiating a more stringent agreement that also addressed ballistic missile development and regional influence. Trump’s policies aligned closely with Israeli security concerns regarding Iran’s influence and nuclear capabilities.

    Kamala Harris: Harris, as part of the Biden administration, supports re-engaging with Iran to limit its nuclear program while addressing broader regional security concerns. This includes a potential return to the JCPOA, provided Iran returns to compliance with its nuclear commitments. Harris’s approach is more focused on diplomacy and multilateral efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions and stabilize the region. While Harris shares concerns about Iran’s behavior in the Middle East, her strategy emphasizes a coordinated international response rather than unilateral sanctions.


    A man reacts as Palestinians search for casualties a day after Israeli strikes on houses in Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip. American politicians don’t care, period! They are funders of murder and death! Period!
    Human Rights and Democracy Promotion

    Donald Trump: Human rights and democracy promotion in relation to Israel and the Palestinian territories were not primary focal points of Trump’s Middle East policy. His administration often overlooked concerns about human rights violations or democratic backsliding in favor of strategic and security interests. Trump’s administration was criticized for not addressing issues like Israeli settlement expansion or Palestinian rights adequately, focusing instead on bolstering strategic alliances.

    Kamala Harris: Harris places more emphasis on human rights and democracy as integral components of U.S. foreign policy. She supports continued military aid to Israel but with a focus on ensuring that such aid is consistent with human rights standards. Harris has called for accountability on all sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has advocated for measures that support peace, security, and human rights. She believes that promoting democratic values is key to achieving long-term peace and stability in the region.

    Conclusion

    The foreign policy positions of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump regarding Israel reflect their broader ideological differences and priorities. Trump’s approach was characterized by strong, unilateral support for Israeli government policies, emphasizing security and regional realignment.

    In contrast, Harris advocates for a more balanced approach that maintains strong support for Israel while emphasizing diplomacy, human rights, and a commitment to a two-state solution. Both approaches aim to strengthen U.S.-Israel relations but differ significantly in their strategies for achieving peace and stability in the Middle East. And both are 100% pro-Israel. They simply do NOT care how many Palestinians get murdered by their bombs. It means nothing to American Politicians. Period!

    So Mister Arab-American looking for a hero to save Palestinian peoples, look somewhere else cause Kamala and Trump won’t save anyone! This is a big power business and you’re nobody to them!
