We Are the West's Final Generation Before a New Dark Ages Begins

 This is a pretty interesting article to find floating around on the home page of MSN.COM.  The author is telling us that the youth in the West is being taught to hate their nation's wealth and freedom and to tear down every institution and tradition.

Of course Satan is behind this.  And of course Satan works best through folks who deny Christ.  And of course in America, between the two political parties we have, Democrats are the party that deny the deity of Christ.  And so go to the K-12 Public schools in America and find out what percentage of teachers are Bible readers/believers and would claim Christ as their savior?  When you find out how low that number is, take the same question to all the college professors and administrations in the thousands of colleges and universities across America and find out what percentage of them are Bible-reading, born-again Christians and I think you know how low that number is.  And yet THESE ARE THE PEOPLE that we have allowed our children to spend more time with than they ever spent with their parents.

There is a fatal contradiction at the heart of Western societies, a nihilistic impulse, a pathological self-loathing that threatens to destroy our way of life. We live in the freest, wealthiest, healthiest, fairest and most technologically advanced polities in history, and yet millions of young people are being taught to hate the West, to despise the liberties that make their lifestyles possible, to tear down every institution and tradition.

Marx was wrong: it is not the working classes that are alienated by modernity but the bourgeoisie, and especially their morally adrift children, many of whom genuinely believe that the West is an evil hellhole. The revolutionary urge emanates from the universities, and their guilt-ridden graduates. Too many have turned themselves into woke indoctrination camps, with hard-Left administrators encouraging post-modern academics to brainwash a generation.

There is now a striking correlation between levels of education and holding stupid, destructive ideas, between being highly credentialled and falling for every fashionable conspiracy theory, every tribalistic affliction, every online fad. 

This madness has culminated in the explosion of anti-Semitic hatred on campuses across America, in scenes that should not be acceptable in any civilised country. They include the harassment of Jewish students, blockades, threats of violence and pro-Hamas and pro-Iran sloganeering by activists camped out in tents. 

These protests are even more toxic than those of 1968: today’s woke ideology is totalitarian, racist, anti-Semitic, anti-family, anti-capitalist and collectivist. It rejects as illegitimate not just conservatism but also Left-liberalism and democracy. It promotes anti-white hatred and Israelophobia. Its supporters loathe the West and automatically back our enemies. They demonise successful minorities as “white adjacent”. 

Shai Davidai, a Jewish academic at Columbia, the worst affected institution, compares the protests to 1938 Germany; a rabbi advised Jewish students to go home and the university has cancelled all in-person lectures. The calls for Minouche Shafik, Columbia’s president, to quit are growing, in my opinion she has been far too soft on the protesters and has failed to do enough to protect Jewish students, many of whom are starting to believe they no longer have a future in the West. 

Shafik almost became governor of the Bank of England in 2019. She was inexplicably backed by some Tories; her consolation prize was to be elevated to the Lords. Lady Shafik was one of four economists summoned by Boris Johnson in 2022 when he was seeking to relaunch his premiership post-Covid; luckily, Johnson ignored her advice. 

In her eminently forgettable What We Owe Each Other: A New Social Contract, endorsed by Ursula von der Leyen, she calls for more redistribution, praises the French Marxist Thomas Piketty, and argues that “a promising strand of research” suggests that “a wealth tax of 2-3 per cent a year would allow governments to increase efficiency, promote economic growth and reduce inequality all at once”. In theory, Shafik cares about “social justice”; in practice, as the (extremely well-paid) president of Columbia, it appears she has allowed the mob to run riot. She needs to resign or be fired.

The past six months have exposed the West’s Left-wing elites as fakes: they virtue-signal about inclusion and diversity but don’t mean it. It is a gigantic lie. A movement obsessed with seeing “microaggressions” everywhere downplays real acts of violence, such as that meted out to a Jewish woman stabbed in the eye at Yale. A movement committed to paranoid safetyism is unconcerned about the actual safety of the “wrong” kind of people. 

A movement that claims to be feminist refuses to condemn mass rape by terrorists. A movement that says it cares about the rights of Muslims has no interest in defending the Uyghurs in China, the Rohingya in Myanmar or any other genuinely persecuted community. A movement that believes in cancelling anybody with conservative, libertarian or Christian viewpoints is happy to embrace Islamist chants, or calls to wipe Israel off the map. A movement that pretends to be anti-racist is willing to chase away Jewish students, condones anti-white and anti-Asian racism and rejects Martin Luther King’s colour-blind vision. 

The hypocrisy is unconscionable. The woke ideology is incompatible with the preservation of the West – and yet it is this philosophy that we are allowing universities to indoctrinate our children with. 

Wokery has made massive progress in Britain, and there have been some horrible demonstrations of it on UK campuses. With the exception of the excellent University of Buckingham, where pluralism reigns, every other university in the UK employs almost exclusively Left-wing academics, a bias that wasn’t anything like as pronounced even 25 years ago.

We have some safeguards: opposition to critical race theory and gender ideology are protected philosophical beliefs under the Equality Act. The Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act is one of the few genuinely good Tory reforms of the past 14 years. Arif Ahmed, the inaugural director for freedom of speech and academic freedom, has said that calls for genocide, or speech that incites violence, will not be protected “under any circumstances”, but that he will defend genuine plurality of opinion when the new regime begins in August. 

Yet this isn’t enough. In 1581, Oxford University decided that no student would be allowed to matriculate unless they swore oaths to the Queen and the Church of England. It took until the 1871 Universities Tests Act to liberate Catholics, Jews and others to study, graduate and work at Oxford, Cambridge and Durham. 

In 2024, Left-wing ideology is the new secular religion. Do we need another Universities Test Act? How do we drastically increase the percentage of non-Left-wing academics? Is the answer to launch new non-woke institutions, like the University of Austin? Or to terminate all subsidies on non-scientific subjects that are more prone to politicisation? In the US, the Ivy League will be hit by multi-billion dollar lawsuits for discrimination. Some are targeting their huge endowments, arguing that this is the time for a new Dissolution of the Monasteries. 

Whichever way we go, we cannot grant the Left a permanent monopoly on universities. The West has no future if our youth are taught to hate our civilisation.

Clearly this article was written in the UK but the problems they are facing are the same we are facing here in America.  But the UK is probably a decade ahead of us as far as destruction goes...because they have allowed a few million Muslims to come into their midst and those folks, as a group, really hate the West and desire to tear it all down for the sake of Allah.

A New Sexual Identity--Fraysexual

All these sexual identities just testify to our human nature...FILLED WITH SIN!

Today we read about a new sexual identity.  It's called fraysexual.  You better learn all about it because they even have their own flag!  And if you fail to identify them as a valid identity then you could be guilty of being frayphobic!

Fraysexuals are people who only like to have sex with strangers.  They aren't sexually attracted to people that they know.  So for eons these poor men (and a few perverted women) were trapped in marriage where they were forced to have sex with their wife...someone they knew OH too well!

When these men would be on business trips and would meet a strange women, (or man for those who identify as gay-fraysexual) that they were incredibly attracted to and had an intense desire to copulate with, they had to deny their identity of being fraysexual and simply go back to their rooms and call their wives!!  If they ever dared to act and fulfill their identities, they they risked that their wives would find out, they wouldn't understand, they would be mad, they could ask for a divorce and the poor fraysexual man would have to lose his house, 1/2 his assets and alienate his children!

Thankfully men can now proudly wave the flag of fraysexual!  Any of you women who deny your husband's fraysexuality and expect him to "remain faithful" to you...how can you possibly be so hateful, intolerant and unloving to the man you promised to love and support??

Fraysexuality, also known as ignotasexuality, is a sexual identity in which people experience a strong attraction to strangers, and less attraction to people they know well.

A fraysexual person generally prefers having sex with people they don't know over those they do. It's the opposite of demisexuality, where a person needs to know someone well and feel connected to them before experiencing sexual attraction.

This identity is on the asexual spectrum, and it has its own flag: The colors are four stripes of blue, cyan, white, and gray. The blue represents strangers, the cyan acquaintances, white for lack of attraction, and gray for sexual attraction confusion.

Ahead, we'll discuss more about fraysexuality, signs a person may exhibit as a fraysexual, and how this identity might impact your love life.

Asexuality is considered an umbrella term for people who have sexual identities that involve an aversion to sex, and it includes other identities such as graysexual, autosexual, and demisexual. 

Dr. Edward Ratush, Board Certified Psychiatrist, sex therapist, and co-founder of SOHOMD, explains that fraysexuality "falls under the umbrella of the asexual spectrum because of the specific aversion a fraysexual individual will have toward sexual contact with their most intimate partner. Simply stated, the more a fraysexual person is emotionally connected with their intimate partner the less they are inclined to have overt sexual desire for this partner."

Fraysexual individuals do not necessarily identify as asexual. Rather, the term asexual is used as an umbrella one that fraysexual falls under.

One does not need a specific sexuality to be fraysexual. A person can identify as fraysexual whether they are gay, straight, or pansexual, and they can be of any gender. It's an identity that a person may use to describe themself, or someone else may refer to someone as fraysexual if they notice that that person is more sexually attracted to strangers than to people they know.

Even if someone calls you fraysexual, though, that doesn't mean you have to identify with the term. Sexuality is highly personal, and we all have the right to identify as whatever feels best for us.

When a person has a sexual preference or a limit, the need to set it will increase the likelihood of there being a barrier to connection with partners," Ratush says, so those in relationships with fraysexuals may need to find other ways of connecting with their partner in addition to sex. But, because healthy romantic relationships require many different types of connection, fraysexuality doesn't have to be a deal breaker.

Knowing oneself and understanding how to create a relationship given your nature is important for all relationships. Establishing what you are seeking in a relationship is helpful for both you and your partner when filling any type of sexual or emotional need, especially for fraysexual people.

"Understanding and embracing one's fraysexual orientation can lead to more fulfilling relationships and personal growth as individuals embrace and communicate their sexual needs with their partners," says Moore.

Here;  What It Means to Be Fraysexual—Everything You Need to Know (msn.com)

Yes!  Don't deny yourself anything!!  Embrace your fraysexual orientation!  Have sex with strangers!  If your wife doesn't understand, send her to a therapist who can help her enter the 21st century and get on board with YOUR NEEDS and YOUR DESIRES.

 

Many Large Cities Are in Deep Financial Trouble

So the big cities are hopelessly bankrupt and empty office buildings is not going to help their situation.  Oh well, they’ll just get money from their state to pay their bills.  What if their state has no money?  Oh well, they’ll just get it from the US government!  And what if the US government has $35 trillion in debt and the bond markets won’t allow her to borrow anymore?  Oh well, the the Federal reserve will just buy the debt.  Ummm….the Federal Reserve has no money to “buy” anything.

Even a casual observer should understand that the financial boat of USA is sinking.

**************

 Municipal governments across the United States are looking to rein in spending as pandemic-era stimulus dries up and inflation lingers for longer than expected.

“Clearly there are significant capital needs across the U.S.,” said Michael Rinaldi, senior director at Fitch Ratings’ public finance group. The group issued a AA investment grade general obligation bond rating for New York City in March 2024.

The financial challenges within cities appear to be mounting despite high municipal credit ratings and robust demand for urban commodities like housing. For example, New York City had a total public debt of $177.6 billion at the end of fiscal year 2022, according to researchers at Truth in Accounting, a nonprofit that partners with the University of Denver to promote transparency in public accounting. That translates into a per capita taxpayer burden of $61,200, according to the group’s analysis.

That estimate comes in higher than the one quoted by New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who says the Big Apple has a public debt burden of roughly $96 billion in 2024 — about $30 billion shy of the city’s debt limit.

The discrepancy, according to Truth in Accounting, comes from pension debt obligations that are underreported and will eventually be pushed on to future taxpayers. “If I don’t pay that invoice, I don’t have to include it in my balanced budget,” said Sheila Weinberg, the group’s founder and CEO.

Truth in Accounting estimates that 53 of the largest cities in the U.S. were not generating enough revenue to pay their bills at the end of fiscal year 2022. The list also highlights fiscal challenges facing cities like Chicago, Houston and Portland, Oregon. 

“I think we can all agree that we’re broke,” said Houston Mayor John Whitmire in a March 2024 City Council budget hearing.

Truth in Accounting believes that underfunded pension obligations and retiree health benefits are straining municipal governments nationwide. Detroit’s 2013 municipal bankruptcywas a potent example of the potential effect when the city temporarily suspended pension payments to pump more cash into reserves.

“I believe this is a big problem throughout the country,” said Weinberg. “The voters think, oh, they must be living within their means. And they’re not.”

Weinberg told CNBC that cities and state governments are, in effect, spending tomorrow’s money today in unsustainable fashion.

So Many Warnings Coming for 2030

Some are saying a Depression will be upon us by 2030. Others saying the Great Reset by 2030.  Today we read this.

***************

Top Russian general Apti Alaudinov, commander of Chechen forces fighting in Ukraine and an ally of President Vladimir Putin, has vowed that his country will destroy the NATO military alliance by 2030.

Alaudinov, who was appointed as deputy at the Main Directorate for Military and Political Work at the defense ministry by Putin, made the remarks during a state TV broadcast, where he spoke to Olga Skabeyeva, co-host of 60 Minutes, on channel Russia-1.

An excerpt of his appearance was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to Ukraine's minister of internal affairs.

Russian officials have regularly floated the possibility that Russia could strike NATO members in response to the aid and weapons they've provided Ukraine in the ongoing war.

"Apti Alaudinov, [Chechen leader Ramzan] Kadyrov's closest ally, recently appointed to a position in the Russian defense ministry, tells Russian propagandist Skabeyeva that Russia will wage a war for the rest of the decade and intends to destroy NATO," Gerashchenko wrote.

Poland Willing to Host US Nukes

 I'm guessing if you lived in Europe and saw what was happening in Ukraine, you might not trust Putin when he says he has no plans on taking other parts of Europe.  And then when Putin seems willing to threaten the West with the use of nukes, maybe you would reconsider hosting USA's nukes in your European back yard?

In a significant blow to Vladimir Putin's efforts, Poland has announced its readiness to host nuclear weapons on its territory. This move comes in response to Russia's recent decision to station its nuclear weapons in neighbouring Belarus, escalating tensions in the region.

In an interview published Monday in the Fakt tabloid, Polish President Andrzej Duda stated that Poland is prepared to host nuclear weapons from other NATO members. This is seen as a direct counter to Russia's relocation of nuclear weapons to Belarus.

"Russia recently relocated its nuclear weapons to Belarus," Duda said, referencing the December announcement by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. He added: "If there were a decision by our allies to deploy nuclear weapons within the nuclear sharing also on our territory in order to strengthen the security of NATO's eastern flank, we are ready."

Duda stressed that Poland is aware of its obligations within the 32-member NATO alliance, which includes the United States, the United Kingdom, and France as nuclear powers.

Poland's willingness to host nuclear weapons aligns with its strong support for Ukraine as it battles against Russia's full-scale invasion, now in its third year, reports the Express.

Here;  Poland willing to host US nukes in response to Vladimir Putin's moves with country 'ready' (msn.com)

If you look on a map of Europe you will see that Belarus sits right in between Russia, Ukraine and Poland.  And Belarus is very pro-Russian.  So yes, if I was Poland I would want to be doing everything I could to make me undesirable to someone like Putin who may, or may not, have designs on conquering other territories.

141 Quakes Rattle Eastern US

Remember what we have been blogging about for 15 years…the New Madrid fault.  When it broke 200 years ago it produced the largest quakes in US history.  Do all these strange quakes happening out East have anything to do with USA pressuring Israel?  Stay tuned.  “There will be earthquakes in various places.”

************

 While the western United States is better known for its active seismicity, the eastern United States has been quite rattled in recent weeks; according to USGS, there have been 141 earthquakes in the eastern United States in the last 30 days.

Most of the earthquakes in the last 30 days have struck in New Jersey where a sequence began there on the morning of April 5 when a magnitude 4.8 event struck. Beyond the magnitude 4.8 earthquake, there were moderate aftershocks too. According to USGS,  3.7 magnitude event struck near Bedminster just before 6 pm on April 5, with 10 other earthquakes measuring as a 2.0 or greater magnitude event.  According to the Northeast States Emergency Consortium, on average there are about 2-3 earthquakes in New Jersey in a year, but according to USGS, New Jersey has now experienced 50x that threshold in just the last 3 weeks.

The next most popular area for earthquakes over the last month have been in the southern Appalachians, in the hills north of Atlanta, Georgia to the mountainous terrain of central and eastern Tennessee between Chattanooga and Asheville.

Which US City Will Collapse First?

Chicago, New York or Los Angeles?  The Democrats have run these cities into the ground.  Defunding police and decriminalizing theft has led to rampant lawlessness.  Throw in illegal aliens and thousands of addicts along with commercial real estate collapse and you have a recipe for a zombie apocalypse.

****************

In 2024, virtually all major U.S. cities have certain things in common.  First of all, if you visit the downtown area of one of our major cities you are likely to see garbage, human excrement and graffiti all over the place.  As you will see below, some of our core urban areas literally look like they belong in a third world country.  Most of our politicians don’t seem too concerned about doing anything to clean up all the filth, and so it shouldn’t be a surprise that rat populations are absolutely exploding all over the country.  In some of our largest cities, the total rat population is numbered in the millions.  Meanwhile, rampant theft, out of control violence, endless migration, predatory gangs and the worst drug crisis in the entire history of our nation have combined to create a “perfect storm” of social decay that is unlike anything that any of us have ever seen before.  Millions of law-abiding citizens and countless businesses have been fleeing America’s largest cities, and property values in our core urban areas have been absolutely crashing.  We really are in the early stages of a full-blown societal “collapse”, and things just keep getting worse with each passing day.

“The End of US-Led World Order”

 This article is talking about the most difficult global outlook since the Depression.  But the last paragraphs had the prophetic part…USA’s dominance in globalization is a thing of the past.  Also pre-WWI was highlighted by war, pandemic and protectionism and now history seems to be repeating itself in build up to pre-WWIII.

****************

In truth, not a lot happened in Washington last week. There was the usual flurry of reports but not much else. Beneath the surface, however, something much more important is going on, and that is the breakup of the US-dominated form of globalisation.

The model involved western companies outsourcing manufacturing to China and other low-cost destinations, and for a while it delivered cheap goods, which kept inflation low and made life easy for central banks.

Those days are now over. The US and Europe want to protect jobs by limiting imports of Chinese goods and subsidising their own manufacturing sectors. Only last week, Joe Biden called for a tripling of tariffs on Chinese steel in a move designed to appeal to blue-collar workers in swing states.

This is not the first time this has happened. The pre-first world war era of globalisation fell apart as a result of war, a pandemic, inflation and protectionism. Little by little, history is repeating itself.

Why is Trump Being Charged in Criminal Case?

 I think most folks know that rich and powerful men have lots of opportunities with the ladies.  I’m sure Trump was no different.  When it comes to Trump bedding a porn star I’m sure that’s not a rare thing either.  Stormy does have a job that involves sex for money so pretty sure Trump didn’t entice a neophyte and take advantage of a school girl.  Also didn’t Bill Clinton have sex with an intern and pay her settlement money?  Yes he did, but there is a difference in paying legal settlement money versus what Trump did and how he did it.  Is it a witch hunt as Trump claims or is he a rich and famous man who believes he is above the law?   Below is a simple explanation of what Trump did and why the prosecution believes it was illegal.

********************

In New York state, falsifying business records is a misdemeanor carrying a penalty of up to a year in jail. However, if it can be demonstrated that the reason for the falsification was to commit some other crime, as prosecutors say is the case here, it becomes a felony punishable by up to four years in jail.

That means that prosecutors have two orders of business in their bid to secure a conviction against the former president. First, they must establish the fraudulent nature of the business records which underlie the alleged scheme. Secondly, they must demonstrate that Trump’s intention in falsifying the records was related to the 2016 presidential election.

That, in the simplest terms, is the prosecution’s case against the former president.

Nuclear Weapons Video

 We watched the movie OPPENHEIMER last night.  I’m guessing many of you have seen it.  For those who haven’t, Oppenheimer was the father of the nuclear bomb.  He was in charge of building and running Los Alamos, NM where all the scientists and their families lived while rushing to create a nuke.

The movie was 3 hours long and felt like it went some places that it didn’t need to so I’m only giving it 3 out of 5 stars.

But the terror that was unleashed when mankind entered the nuclear age is near impossible to understand.

I think we’ve all read something about the nukes USA dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Their power and destruction is hard to understand, but the largest nuke ever detonated was built by the Soviet Union.  It exploded with a force equal to 3000 Hiroshima nukes!

It’s amazing to me, and most likely a God thing, that nukes haven’t been used since WWII.  It’s also concerning that Russia has been warning of the West and Ukraine and NATO crossing a line that could see Russia making a decision to use nukes on the battlefield.

I’ve attached a video that shows the 5 largest nuke explosions.  If you don’t care to watch it all, just fast forward to the last one detonated by Russia.  The human brain can’t comprehend such a force.

“Urban Doom Loop”

Parts of America are already in a free fall.  Office buildings that sold for $250 million 15 years ago are selling for $4 million.  Covid lock downs sent people home to work and millions never came back.  Crime and lawlessness come to the impoverished cities while many Leftist city councils continue to defund the police.  People with half a brain and half a dollar end up leaving the city.  This population drain makes things worse and the city finds itself with fewer tax payers, fewer restaurant eaters, fewer people spending money in the city.  That city is now in the “urban doom loop”.  And lots of US cities will be joining St Louis in this loop.  I’m gonna guess the cities run by Leftists will be the first to get there.

*******************

Very few people want to live or work in downtown St. Louis these days, because it has become “a very dangerous place”…

The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday published a story on the “real estate nightmare” and detailed stories of boarded-up properties and occasional raids by police and firefighters searching for squatters and missing people.

“It’s a very dangerous place,” St. Louis Fire Department Chief Dennis Jenkerson told the paper.

As things continue to get worse, more people want to leave.

At this point, just about everyone acknowledges that St. Louis is trapped in an “urban doom loop”…

The cycle is often called the “urban doom loop,” which the Atlantic describes as the cycle of people moving away from city as things get worse, then things getting worse because more people moved away.

Business Insider’s Eliza Relman described the doom loop afflicting Midwestern cities: “Commercial property taxes make up a large chunk of many city budgets, so as office vacancies rise, the decreased revenue could force leaders to curtail municipal services or make cuts to key programs. Declining services and quality of life in turn pushes residents out, leading to a self-reinforcing exodus. Without serious changes, these midsize cities in the middle of the country could be quietly sliding into oblivion.”

Honestly, I don’t know why anyone would still want to be in St. Louis.

Violence is a constant threat, and it has experienced the largest decline in foot traffic of any major U.S. city…

Locals said they are often depressed and scared by the sight of empty shops and restaurants, according to the WSJ. Sidewalks are left barren as fewer people choose to commute into the downtown area, and recently installed signs urge visitors to “park in well-lit areas.”

According to the University of Toronto’s School of Cities, the business district of St. Louis experienced the greatest drop in foot traffic of 66 major U.S. cities between the start of the pandemic in 2020 and the summer of 2023.

Sadly, this is the road that almost all of our major cities are now going down.

New York was once one of the finest cities on the entire planet, but now the streets are littered with open air markets that are selling stolen goods, drugs and sex services…

Roosevelt Avenue near 91st Street is littered daily with migrant vendors hawking goods they ripped off from shopkeepers just steps away, while prostitutes proposition passersby at all hours — and frustrated merchants and residents say they’re helpless to do anything about it.

“It’s relentless,” said Milton Reyes, who manages Mi Farmacia pharmacy on the avenue. “You should see it on Saturdays. It’s so heavy, you can’t even step onto the sidewalk. There are a lot of doctors’ offices right around here and my customers don’t even want to get dropped off.

What a nightmare.

UN Security Council to Vote on Palestinian State TODAY!

 The hatred of Israel around the world has reached a new crescendo after Hamas brutally murdered hundreds of Jews and kidnapped 150 more.  Hamas started it, the Arabs of Palestine supported Hamas' actions and they dream of the day when Israel will be destroyed and the Jews have no place to call home.  But none of those facts can stop the United Nations from voting on a new Palestinian state today.  This would be a disaster and not sure if Israel would allow it.  And only Joe Biden can veto it...but will he?  If he does he could lose millions of votes from the "stop the world for Gaza" crowd.

Watch and pray.  Sounds like it's happening TODAY!

************************************************

Why are they being so quiet about this?  On Friday, the UN Security Council will take a vote which will determine whether or not “the State of Palestine” will be granted full UN membership.  If this vote is successful, that will formally create a Palestinian state that will have full recognition by the international community.  So this is a really big deal.  Algeria is the nation that has put this draft resolution forward, and it is scheduled for a vote at 3 PM Eastern time on Friday afternoon…

The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to vote Friday on a Palestinian request for full U.N. membership, said diplomats, a move that Israel ally the United States is expected to block because it would effectively recognize a Palestinian state.

The 15-member council is due to vote at 3 p.m. (1900 GMT) Friday on a draft resolution that recommends to the 193-member U.N. General Assembly that “the State of Palestine be admitted to membership of the United Nations,” diplomats said.

It is being projected that 13 of the 15 members of the Security Council could vote in favor of this resolution, and so Israel is counting on the Biden administration to veto it…

A council resolution needs at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the U.S., Britain, France, Russia or China to pass. Diplomats say the measure could have the support of up to 13 council members, which would force the U.S. to use its veto.

Just think about this for a moment.

The only thing standing in the way of a Palestinian state is Joe Biden.

Of course he actually wants a Palestinian state to be established, but he wants it to happen as a result of peace negotiations.

And after the current war in the Middle East is concluded, there will be an all-out push to achieve that goal.

For now, the war in the Middle East is poised to go to a dangerous new level.

FBI Warns Chinese Hackers Targeting Critical Infrastructure

 Think of a day when the internet doesn’t come on.  40 years ago no one had it so no one would miss it.  But imagine the chaos that would ensue today!  Even worse, how about cell service vanishes for a few weeks?  How about electricity gets turned off for a few weeks?  You quite literally would have a zombie apocalypse on your hands as the Democrat voters living in the big cities would go crazy, loot everything in sight, destroy stores by the thousands and then start spreading out into the suburbs in search of food.

China knows it can’t face America and go toe to toe with our military but they can destroy our military-age kids with fentanyl and turn them into depressed, scrolling zombies addicted to their phones and pads.  And just maybe they believe they could implode us by shutting off critical infrastructure?

****************

Chinese hackers are preparing to launch a major attack on critical U.S. infrastructure and have already infiltrated multiple companies according to the FBI.

FBI Director Chris Wray revealed today China is developing the capability to cause significant damage to our critical infrastructure at a time of their choosing. The only question is the time to launch a catastrophic blow.

“China is developing the ability to physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a time of its choosing,” Wray said at the 2024 Vanderbilt Summit on Modern Conflict and Emerging Threats. “Its plan is to land low blows against civilian infrastructure to try to induce panic.”

According to Wray, an ongoing Chinese hacking campaign known as Volt Typhoon has successfully infiltrated several American companies in telecommunications, energy, water, and other critical sectors. 23 pipeline operators are being targeted.

Israel Attacks Iran

 Breaking news just now, explosions happening in Iran as Israel retaliates.

Early reports are saying Israel hit an area close to Iranian nuke facilities.  The message might be “you think you can hit Israel?  Well we can hit you anywhere and anytime we want.”

So now we wait and see what Iran plans to do in response.

Keep looking up!

 For over four years now, almost everyone who pays attention to what’s going on in the world lives in a constant state of anxiety. The reason? They’re waiting for the next shoe to drop – the next major global event that will upend their lives.

This is understandable. Over the past four years, we’ve endured COVID, the government response to COVID (lockdowns, passports, mandates, etc.), global supply chain issues, global inflation, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel, the shutdown of Red Sea shipping lanes, and numerous rumors of other major events set to break at any moment. So what’s next? Will it get worse before it gets better? The answer is yes, and this article reveals why.

The Interregnum

One of the reasons we see all these events taking place is the interregnum. What does that mean? Well, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition, defines an interregnum as:

“The interval of time between the end of a sovereign’s reign and the accession of a successor.”

This typically describes a time period between two reigning kings, but in this instance, we’re using it to describe the time period between one superpower or group dominating global affairs and second rising to take its place. The last time we experienced an interregnum of this type was the 1914 to 1945 timeframe. Needless to say, this was quite a tumultuous era – 31 years that included two world wars and a global depression.

When 1914 started, the Royal Navy of the British Empire ruled the high seas. The colonies of the British Empire spanned the globe, and it had dominated the 19th Century global order – controlling the world’s shipping lanes, issuing the world’s global reserve currency (the pound), and boasting the world’s premiere center of international finance (London).

When 1945 ended, the United States Navy ruled the high seas. U.S. military bases spanned the globe, and the United States dominated the 20th-century global order – controlling the world’s shipping lanes, issuing the world’s global reserve currency (the dollar), and boasting the world’s premiere center of international finance (New York).

As 2024 begins, we see U.S. naval power waning. Houthi rebels have shut down the Red Sea to all traffic from Israel, the United States, and their Western allies. Almost 12% of all global trade passes through the Suez Canal, making the Red Sea one of the most vital shipping corridors in the world. For over 80 years, the U.S. Navy has carried out the role of ensuring the world’s shipping lanes remain freely navigable and open to international trade. Now, they are increasingly unable to do so.

The ability of the U.S. to project military power across the globe and secure vital waterways is one of the primary reasons the U.S. dollar dominates international trade. Another reason is the petro-dollar. When President Nixon ended the U.S. dollar’s convertibility to gold, it became a fiat currency – meaning its value is derived from nothing more than government edict. Since that day in 1971, all the world’s major currencies have been fiat currencies – something unprecedented in history. History shows all fiat currencies eventually reach their intrinsic value – zero. So what happens when all the world’s currencies collapse at the same time?

In 1974, Henry Kissinger brokered a deal with Saudi Arabia wherein OPEC agreed to only trade oil for dollars. This has helped underpin demand for U.S. dollars for the past 50 years, but now the petro-dollar is ending. Saudi Arabia and OPEC are increasingly accepting other currencies for oil. U.S. debt is at unsustainable levels. Foreign nations are dumping U.S. debt in favor of gold, and the BRICS nations are attempting to create an alternative to the U.S.-dominated global financial system.

In other words, the post-World War II order of global military power is transforming, and the current global monetary system is coming to an end. All this and more is why we see U.S. power and influence in decline, an increasingly fragmented global order, and a world where it seems we’re moving from one crisis to the next.

But I would argue there’s a more significant reason we’re seeing all this. Depending on your preconceived beliefs, you might reject it out of hand. But I encourage you to read on and examine the evidence for yourself. If you do and reject my conclusion, that is fine. But it might just open your eyes to a truth that could change your life forever.

What’s Really Happening…

If the interregnum alone is not the reason for this constant state of crisis, then what’s really happening? Why do we see all these global events taking place? The answer is simple.

Jesus is coming.
