This Is Why They Won’t Be Able To Block Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth And RFK Jr.

November 14, 2024November 14, 2024 by Michael

This week, Donald Trump shocked the Washington D.C. establishment to the core. For decades, the unelected bureaucrats that control our mammoth federal agencies have been running our country into the ground. No matter who we have sent to Washington, the culture in these federal agencies has remained the same. But now Trump has nominated firebrands such as Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr. for some of the most important positions in his cabinet, and this shows that he is quite serious about “draining the swamp” during his second term. In essence, there will be a bunch of “mini-Trumps” running around firing hordes of useless bureaucrats and dismantling federal power structures that have existed for generations. Needless to say, many on the left are in a state of panic now that it appears that many of the institutions that they cherish so much could literally be turned completely upside down.

For a lot of Democrats, the possibility that Matt Gaetz could be the next attorney general is truly a nightmare scenario. When his nomination was announced, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy called him “dangerously unqualified”…

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., warned Tuesday that President-elect Trump’s selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., to be U.S. attorney general signaled Trump’s intention to follow through on promises to persecute his opponents.

Murphy called the firebrand Floridian “dangerously unqualified” to lead the Justice Department, noting that Gaetz urged the need to abolish the FBI and other law enforcement agencies that do not get in line with conservative priorities.

Many in the corporate media are freaking out about the Gaetz nomination as well. For example, Geraldo Rivera says that he “threw up in my mouth” when he heard that Gaetz was the pick…

“When I heard that Matt Gaetz was picked to be attorney general, I threw up in my mouth,” Rivera told host Leland Vittert. “I think it is a horrible, creepy choice. I have no idea why he did it.”

The nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence has also caused a tremendous amount of outrage…

Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., declared in a post on X that she was “appalled” by the selection of Gabbard for the role.

“Not only is she ill-prepared and unqualified, but she traffics in conspiracy theories and cozies up to dictators like Bashar-al Assad and Vladimir Putin,” Spanberger claimed in a post on X.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., called the choice of Gabbard as DNI “incredibly reckless,” declaring in a tweet, “Putting someone with known sympathies for foreign adversaries is not putting America’s interests first – it’s putting our security at risk.”

I find it quite comical that Democrats are now talking about “putting America’s interests first”, because they haven’t been doing that for years.

At the Pentagon, the environment is “like a morgue” now that Pete Hegseth has been nominated to be the new boss of the Department of Defense…

But the surprising top cabinet-post appointment came as an absolute shock to Pentagon career employees – who weren’t anticipating such a non-establishment pick to lead the nation’s largest federal agency with a $800 billion budget.

One defense official told DailyMail.com that it was ‘like a morgue’ inside the Pentagon after Trump’s announcement.

They said the career staff were ‘apoplectic’ after hearing Hegseth, who has no government or management experience, would be taking over administration of the largest joint fighting forces in the world.

In the past, Hegseth has talked about the need to fire all of the “woke” generals, and I certainly think that would be a promising step in the right direction for our military.

After all of the other nominations that Trump has made this week, he topped things off by choosing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services…

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!

At this moment, the corporate media is begging for the Senate to block these nominations.

But that isn’t going to happen.

As U.S. Representative Thomas Massive has correctly pointed out, even if the Senate does not want to confirm these nominees Trump can just push them through as recess appointments…

In a video posted to X by Haley Talbot, a reporter with CNN, Massie was asked if he thought Gaetz would be confirmed by the United States Senate to serve as the Attorney General.

“Do you think he’ll get confirmed by the Senate?” a reporter asked Massie, to which Massie could be heard responding, “recess appointments.”

“He’s the Attorney General,” Massie added. “Suck it up!”

Many people don’t realize this, but the U.S. Constitution specifically gives whoever is president the power to make recess appointments…

A recess appointment, however, allow presidents to install their nominee to the position while the Senate is in recess, without a confirmation hearing or vote, according to the Recess Appointments Clause in the U.S. Constitution. It says: “The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.”

So this means if a president manages to make a recess appointment, that individual’s term would only last for about two years. At that point, the person could be appointed again through the same recess appointment or through the regular Senate confirmation process.

The Supreme Court has ruled that recess appointments are only allowed if the U.S. Senate is not in session for at least 10 days.

But of course our senators are so lazy that they like to take lots of long breaks.

And since Republicans now control the Senate, there probably won’t be any dramatic moves to stop Trump from getting the recess appointments that he wants.

Some “experts” are making it sound like Trump intends to do something out of the ordinary, but the truth is that other presidents made large numbers of recess appointments…

According to the Congressional Research Service, former President Obama made 32 recess appointments while in office; Bill Clinton made 139 and George W. Bush made 171.

When Senate Majority Leader John Thune was asked about the possibility of recess appointments a few days ago, he specifically mentioned “recess appointments” as one of the ways that Trump could get his nominees in place “as soon as possible”…

“We must act quickly and decisively to get the president’s cabinet and other nominees in place as soon as possible to start delivering on the mandate we’ve been sent to execute, and all options are on the table … including recess appointments,” he said in a statement.

Of course the radical left is not just going to sit back and let Trump do whatever he wants.

In fact, they are already planning massive protests for Trump’s inauguration…

Flyers are now appearing on complete campuses in DC. These fliers have QR codes. When you scan the code, the links invite you to “fight fascism” by protesting Trump’s inauguration on 1/20.

So violent leftist groups have begun recruiting WokeQaeda.

One of the groups is Students for Justice in Palestine.

If that doesn’t sound familiar, that’s the group that one of the primary factors of the violent protests on college campuses.

It appears that there will be a great deal of turmoil in the streets of Washington D.C. on January 20th, and that will just be a preview of the widespread turmoil that is coming all over America.

After everything that they have said and done during the past eight years, the radical left is not going to suddenly change course and decide that it is time for “healing” and “unity”.

Our nation is more divided right now than it has ever been in my entire lifetime, and we should all be deeply concerned about what is coming next.

If They Cut The Undersea Cables That Connect Us To The Internet, Will It Crash The Global Economy?

November 12, 2024November 12, 2024 by Michael

The U.S. is accusing Russia of preparing to cut undersea cables which carry Internet traffic all over the world, and Russia is accusing western powers of preparing to do the exact same thing. In some cases, these undersea cables literally stretch from one continent to another, and so it is impossible to guard them. That means that they are an exceedingly vulnerable target, and it is probably just a matter of time before someone decides to attack them. Of course if the undersea cables that connect one global superpower to the Internet get hit, they will probably start cutting key undersea cables that connect their enemies to the Internet. Needless to say, such a scenario would have the potential to turn apocalyptic very rapidly.

According to CNN, U.S. officials are warning that there has been “increased Russian military activity around key undersea cables”…

The US has detected increased Russian military activity around key undersea cables, and believes Russia may now be more likely to carry out potential sabotage operations aimed at disabling a critical piece of the world’s communications infrastructure, two US officials told CNN.

Russia has put increasing emphasis on building up a dedicated military unit, which deploys a formidable fleet of surface ships, submarines and naval drones, according to one of the officials. The unit, the “General Staff Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research,” is known by its Russian acronym GUGI.

“We are concerned about heightened Russian naval activity worldwide and that Russia’s decision calculus for damaging US and allied undersea critical infrastructure may be changing,” a US official told CNN. “Russia is continuing to develop naval capabilities for undersea sabotage mainly thru GUGI, a closely guarded unit that operates surface vessels, submarines and naval drones.”

On the other side, the Russians are suggesting that it is actually the U.S. and the U.K. that are preparing to start attacking undersea Internet cables…

An ally of Vladimir Putin has accused the U.S. and the U.K. of intending to sabotage underwater internet cables and planning to destabilize the maritime energy trade.

In reporting the comments by Nikolai Patrushev, the Telegram channel Crimean Wind posted, “it would be funny, but such statements often sound like a cover for their own intentions.”

When contacted for comment, a British Foreign Office spokesperson told Newsweek on Tuesday: “We are not going to provide a running commentary on Russia’s conspiracy theories.”

So who is telling the truth?

I don’t know.

But what I do know is that these undersea Internet cables are incredibly important…

Undersea cables, also known as submarine cables, are the physical infrastructure that connects the digital world. Hundreds of fibre-optic cables, some no thicker than garden hoses, are laid out across the ocean floor, enabling the real-time global transmission of data and communications signals. These cables facilitate around 99% of internet traffic as well as the telephone calls, data transfers and other telecommunications that enable modern life to function. The first undersea telegraph cable was laid in 1858; today, there are almost 400, most of which are commercially owned and operated.

What would happen if all of the undersea cables connecting a particular country to the Internet suddenly got cut?

I did not have an answer to that question, and so I asked Google, and this is what Google told me…

Communication disruption

People would lose access to phone calls, video, messages, and streaming services.

Financial impact

E-commerce would be affected, and the stability of financial networks would be at risk.

Critical infrastructure impact

Power grids, transportation networks, and water networks could be affected.

Country-wide impact

A country could be severed from the internet, which would impact banking, business, and health networks.

Repair delays

It could take months to repair the cables.

That sounds really bad.

Over the past two decades, our entire economy has become exceedingly dependent on the Internet.

If we were suddenly cut off from the rest of the globe, there would be widespread economic chaos…

Payment systems and ATMs would be down. Trillions of dollars would be wiped off the European and US economies as banks were unplugged from the global financial system, with economic effects felt across the world. Workplaces and businesses that rely on the internet would also go down. Educational institutions would struggle to conduct online learning, impeding students’ education and limiting access to knowledge and resources.

E-commerce would take a hit too, exacerbating disruptions to supply chains and shortages of essential goods. Brick-and-mortar stores would be cut off from communication with suppliers, limiting access to food and other essential supplies.

If someone cut just a few dozen cables, we would suddenly be facing the the biggest disaster for the U.S. economy since World War II.

That is how vulnerable we are.

And a precedent has already been set. Just two years ago, “someone” sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines that delivered Russian gas to Europe…

On 26 September 2022, a series of underwater explosions and consequent gas leaks occurred on 3 of 4 pipes, that were rendered inoperable,[8] of the Nord Stream 1 (NS1) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) natural gas pipelines, two of 23 gas pipelines between Europe and Russia.[9] The leaks were located in international waters,[a] but within the economic zones of Denmark and Sweden.[10] Both pipelines were built to transport natural gas from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea, and are majority owned by the Russian majority state-owned gas company, Gazprom.

If push comes to shove, I think that both sides would not hesitate to cut undersea Internet cables.

Using nuclear weapons is a far more dramatic move, and it is being reported that the Russians were very close to doing that in 2022…

Vladimir Putin was apparently so close to launching a nuke in 2022 that Liz Truss spent her brief time in office preparing for the fallout.

A new biography of Ms Truss claims the former prime minister spent her final days in No 10 examining weather maps and preparing for UK radiation cases after American spies warned her that Putin was dangerously close to pressing the button.

The ‘exquisite’ intelligence provided by the US concluded there was a 50% chance Russia could deploy a tactical nuclear weapon on the Ukrainian battlefields or test an even larger bomb in the Black Sea.

On the other side, I think that we have entered a time when globalists in the western world have become so desperate that literally nothing is off the table.

Right now our world is more interconnected than ever, but that could change at any moment.

Once someone decides to start cutting cables, things will get really crazy.

So enjoy the Internet while you still can, but also prepare for the day when you will no longer be able to depend upon it.

Putin Prepares For A Showdown With Trump As 50,000 Russian Troops Move Into Position

November 12, 2024November 11, 2024 by Michael

Now that Donald Trump has won the election, he is going to have to deal with Vladimir Putin and Russia, and that isn’t going to be easy. The Russians have no incentive to end the conflict because they are steadily gobbling up territory in eastern Ukraine. As long as the Russians are making progress toward achieving their goals, why would they want to stop? On the other side, the Ukrainians will never agree to any peace agreement that allows the Russians to keep all of the territories that they have already taken, but the Ukrainians are losing even more ground with each passing day. Of course most members of Congress and our NATO allies want to keep fighting until Russia is defeated, but escalating the war even more is likely to bring us to the brink of nuclear conflict.

So where do we go from here?

As we wait to see what Trump will do once he takes office, the Russians have gathered a force of 50,000 troops to push the Ukrainians completely out of the Kursk region…

The war between Russia and Ukraine is escalating.

The neighbors this weekend launched their largest drone attacks against each other since the start of the war nearly three years ago. Russia last week began a fresh effort to oust Ukrainian forces from its Kursk region after amassing more than 50,000 troops, including some 10,000 soldiers from North Korea. And Russian troops, while advancing steadily in Ukraine’s east, are incurring record numbers of dead and injured, according to the British military’s top commander.

The fact that North Korean troops are now involved has gotten a tremendous amount of attention.

Apparently these North Korean troops are actually “wearing Russian uniforms”…

US and Ukrainian officials say 10,000 of the 50,000 massed troops are North Koreans.

Those soldiers are said to be wearing Russian uniforms and have been equipped by Moscow, but will fight in their own units.

Putin’s army has also been training the North Koreans in infantry tactics, artillery fire, and trench clearing.

NATO officials are absolutely furious that North Korean troops are being introduced into this conflict, and they want to take things to the next level.

They will undoubtedly be putting pressure on Trump to take action, and we shall see what Trump decides to do.

Over the past few days, the corporate media has been telling us that there was a phone call between Trump and Putin…

President-elect Trump spoke with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Thursday and warned him not to escalate the fighting in Ukraine, according to a source briefed on the call.

It was being reported that Trump specifically warned Putin not to escalate the war in Ukraine…

The source said Trump’s message to Putin was roughly: “Don’t escalate because I have weapons, too.”

But now the Russians are denying that such a call ever took place…

But the Kremlin is denying that any of this happened. It is saying the call didn’t even take place. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov blasted the Post report as “pure fiction” and said that currently there are no plans for the Russian president to speak to Trump.

“This is completely untrue. This is pure fiction, it’s just false information. There was no conversation,” Peskov told reporters in a briefing.

“This is the most obvious example of the quality of the information that is being published now, sometimes even in fairly reputable publications,” Peskov added.

What in the world is going on here?

Obviously, someone is lying to us.

A call either happened or it didn’t.

Hopefully Trump will come forward and clarify things for us.

Meanwhile, the Russians continue to march forward in eastern Ukraine…

On the front lines, particularly in Ukraine’s east, Russia is advancing slowly but steadily. Russian troops seized almost 200 square miles of Ukrainian territory last month, according to a Ukrainian war-monitoring group, DeepState, which said it was the largest monthly gain this year.

At this moment, a fierce battle is happening for the key logistical hub of Kurakhovo…

Russian troops are engaged in urban combat with the Ukrainian army in the city of Kurakhovo in the Donetsk People’s Republic. As TASS was told by security agencies, the Ukrainian troop group is being “taken in pincers” from the northern, southern and western suburbs.

The agency’s source reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are currently trying to transfer small groups to the city.

The city of Kurakhovo is located 46 km from Donetsk and 30 km from Pokrovsk. The settlement acted as a logistics hub through which supplies were supplied to the Ukrainian garrison in Ugledar. On November 2, the Ministry of Defense also reported the capture of the village of Kurakhovka, located on the approaches to Kurakhovo.

The Russians are going to try to take as much territory as they can before winter officially begins.

Once snow starts piling up everywhere, it will become much more difficult to maneuver.

Elsewhere, our relations with China also continue to go downhill. In fact, the Biden administration just ordered TSMC to stop sending advanced AI chips to China…

The U.S. ordered Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to halt shipments of advanced chips to Chinese customers that are often used in artificial intelligence applications starting Monday, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The Department of Commerce sent a letter to TSMC imposing export restrictions on certain sophisticated chips, of 7 nanometer or more advanced designs, destined for China that power AI accelerator and graphics processing units (GPU), the person said.

Needless to say, this is going to make the Chinese even angrier with us.

And we are being told that the EU and China are also “on a path that leads straight to a dangerous trade war”…

China and the European Union are on a path that leads straight to a dangerous trade war. After European duties on imports of electric vehicles, the Asian giant announces its first retaliation: from Friday, Nov. 15, Beijing will impose “temporary anti-dumping measures” on brandy imported from EU countries, despite “progress” announced by both sides over the weekend on negotiations to remove duties on battery-powered cars.

Beijing threatened to tax the distillate a month ago, trying to dissuade EU governments from imposing duties and sit at the negotiating table with Brussels from a position of less weakness. In a note, China’s Ministry of Commerce explained that “the authorities have decided to implement temporary anti-dumping measures in the form of cash deposit or letter of guarantee” against European brandies. A decision taken in response to the risk of “substantial damage to the domestic industry.”

Every time we push China further away, the result is that they just get even closer to the Russians.

This should deeply alarm all of us, and I have been specifically warning about this particular alliance of superpowers for a very long time.

2024 was a year of war.

But in 2025 military conflict will rock the entire globe.

The war in the Middle East could go to an apocalyptic level at any moment, China could soon decide to invade Taiwan, North Korea could soon decide to invade South Korea, and we are closer to nuclear war with Russia than we have ever been before.

We really are living at a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, and a tremendous amount of death and destruction is right around the corner.

It’s War! Iranian Leaders Vow Revenge With “No Limits” After Israel Bombs Iran

October 27, 2024October 27, 2024 by Michael

Things are about to get very interesting in the Middle East. The Israeli strike on Iran that we have been anticipating has finally happened, and now Iran is warning that there will be “no limits” in how it responds to that attack. In other words, we are on the brink of the sort of all-out war between Israel and Iran that I specifically warned about in a chapter entitled “The 3 Wars Of The Apocalypse” that was featured in a book that I published last year. I know that virtually everyone in the U.S. is really focused on the upcoming election at the moment, but what is going on in the Middle East right now is really big news.

We just witnessed the largest Israeli attack on Iran ever. It is being reported that “dozens of fighter jets” were involved in a massive operation that struck targets all over Iran and Syria…

Dozens of fighter jets hit ballistic missile factories, air defence batteries and missile launchers. Israel launched a simultaneous attack on military targets in central and southern Syria. Among the pilots and navigators involved in the Iran strikes were a number of women, praised by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) for their bravery.

It is thought the secret research base near Tehran was developing ‘kamikaze drone’ technology, designed to loiter over a target until instructed to attack.

According to Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari, the Israelis now have “broader aerial freedom of operation in Iran”, and this will make it easier for the IDF the next time it becomes necessary to strike the Iranians…

Israel’s first open attack on Iran targeted missile production facilities and air defense systems, the military said Saturday, tempering fears of a broader foray but giving Israeli aircraft the ability to operate more freely in Iranian skies as the region entered a new phase of escalation.

“Israel now has broader aerial freedom of operation in Iran,” an Israeli military spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said in a statement after the attack concluded. The remarks signaled Israel’s willingness to strike Iran in the future, even as Israeli officials said the attacks were tailored to minimize casualties and allow Iran to deny major damage.

The Biden administration is trying to play down the size and scope of the Israeli operation, and Joe Biden is desperately hoping that the Iranians will choose not to respond…

“It looks like they didn’t hit anything other than military targets,” President Joe Biden, speaking to reporters in Philadelphia, said of the Israeli strikes. “I hope that this is the end.”

We should all hope that this is the end of it.

But it appears that the Iranians have already made their decision.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Iran has “vowed revenge” and that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is using the phrase “no limits” to describe what Iran might do…

Iran vowed revenge yesterday after Israel’s missile blitz on Tehran destroyed up to 20 key military sites, including a top-secret research facility.

Foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran had ‘no limits’ in defending its interests and was obliged to take retaliatory action.

Those are very strong words.

And we are being told that Araghchi has already delivered a letter to the United Nations that declares that Iran has the right to respond to the Israeli attack…

Iran’s top diplomat has condemned Israel’s unprecedented attack on multiple military sites across the Islamic Republic and has asserted Tehran’s right to respond to the latest escalation amid a year-long Middle East conflict in a letter obtained by Newsweek.

The letter was attributed to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and sent Saturday to United Nations (U.N.) Secretary-General António Guterres and U.N. Security Council President Pascale Christine Baeriswyl via Iranian Permanent Representative to the U.N. Amir Saeid Iravani.

According to Araghchi, Iran “reserves its inherent right to legal and legitimate response to these criminal attacks at the appropriate time”.

To me, it sounds like the Iranians do not plan to respond immediately.

But a response is definitely coming.

And the Israelis have already warned that they will hit Iran again if the Iranians strike back.

So this is it.

The big war between Israel and Iran is here.

Of course the big war between Israel and Hezbollah has already been raging.

In recent days, fierce fighting in southern Lebanon has resulted in a substantial number of Israeli casualties…

Ten Israeli soldiers were killed and at least 28 more wounded to varying degrees amid heavy battles against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, Israel Defense Forces announced Thursday and Friday.

The soldiers were killed in three separate incidents in just over 24 hours. Since the start of the ground offensive in Lebanon, 27 soldiers have fallen amid the heavy fighting.

In the most recent incident, five reservists serving in the 8th Hazaken Brigade’s 89th Battalion were killed, and 19 others were wounded, with four in serious condition, when a Hezbollah rocket struck a supply point at a building in a southern Lebanese village.

We aren’t hearing much about this from the big news networks in the United States, are we?

If they give too much attention to what is going on in the Middle East right now, that could make Kamala Harris and the Biden administration look bad, and so they are being pretty quiet about it.

The big news networks in the United States are also being pretty quiet about the stunning Russian advances that are happening in eastern Ukraine…

With Russia advancing at the fastest rate in eastern Ukraine since the first months of the invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has been pleading with the West to allow Kyiv to fire deep into Russia with Western missiles.

The Biden administration’s plan for the war in Ukraine has completely and utterly failed.

Billions and billions and billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars have been poured into that war, but the Russians are still winning.

In fact, the Russians are gobbling up more territory with each passing day.

And now the Middle East is on the verge of erupting in flames.

We were warned about these wars way in advance, but most people still aren’t paying much attention.

What will it take before most of the population finally starts waking up?

A Day Of Reckoning Is Here: The Timing And The Targets For Israel’s Attack On Iran Have Been Selected

October 16, 2024October 16, 2024 by Michael

Can you imagine what a full-blown war between Israel and Iran would look like? We are literally on the verge of an apocalyptic war in the Middle East, but it isn’t getting much attention in the western world because everyone is so focused on the upcoming U.S. presidential election. I completely understand why people are so focused on this election, but what is about to happen in the Middle East has the potential to change the course of history. Once Israel attacks Iran, nothing will ever be the same again. Iran has already promised to hit Israel back extremely hard, and that would compel Israel to attack Iran again. Once these two heavyweights start pummeling one another, it may be virtually impossible for anyone to stop the fight until it is decisively concluded.

According to CNN, U.S. officials are saying that they expect Israel to attack Iran before the U.S. presidential election on November 5th…

American officials expect Israel will retaliate against Iran for its attack earlier this month before November 5, sources tell CNN, a timeline that would thrust the growing volatility in the Middle East squarely into public view within days of the American presidential election.

The timeline and parameters of Israel’s retaliation against Iran have been subject to intense debate inside Israel’s government and are not directly related to the timing of the US election, the sources said.

Still, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — described by senior US administration officials as a political animal deeply attuned to American politics — appears highly sensitive to any potential political ramifications of Israel’s actions in the US, they said.

If this report is accurate, that means that the attack on Iran will almost certainly occur before the end of October.

CNN is also reporting that Israel’s military plan for a strike on Iran “is ready”…

Israel’s plan to respond to Iran’s October 1 attack is ready, a source familiar with the matter told CNN, without providing further information.

CNN has reached out to the Israeli ministry of defense for comment.

If the plan “is ready”, that would seem to infer that the specific targets have already been selected.

And that lines up perfectly with a report that was just put out by the Times of Israel…

According to Channel 12 news, the military presented a list of targets to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Gallant as it finalizes preparations, which include “sensitive coordination” with other countries in the region.

A report by the Kan public broadcaster said “the political echelon” had decided on the targets, without specifying which officials or decision-making forum.

“The targets are clear. Now it’s a matter of time,” an Israeli source told the broadcaster.

That sounds pretty definitive.

It is clear that an attack is coming.

The only question now is what day it will happen.

Will the Israeli government wait until after the Feast of Tabernacles to launch the strike?

If so, it would appear that the last week of October would be the most likely window of time for the attack.

Of course it is always possible that the Israeli government could order the attack to happen right away.

We just don’t know.

But what we do know is that the Iranians have told us over and over again what will happen if Israel attacks.

In fact, the foreign minister of Iran just made it very clear to the head of the UN…

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned UN chief Antonio Guterres that Tehran is ready for a “decisive and regretful” response if Israel attacks his country in retaliation to the almost 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1.

An Iranian response would almost certainly be quite a bit larger than the missile attack that we witnessed on October 1st.

Needless to say, such an Iranian response would not cause the Israelis to back down.

Instead, Israel would just hit back even harder.

And then there would be all-out war between Israel and Iran.

Are you ready for that?

As the world waits for the Israeli attack on Iran to begin, the IDF just continues to hammer targets all over Lebanon.

In fact, the IDF just hit Beirut with missile strikes for the first time in six days even though the Biden administration has been strongly urging Israel to show restraint…

Just hours after the Biden administration warned Israel over the expanding scope and scale of its military strikes on Lebanon’s capital, the Israeli military said its fighter jets flew to the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh and struck an underground Hezbollah weapons cache. Dahiyeh, considered a stronghold of the Iran-backed, U.S. and Israeli-designated terrorist group, has been hit by Israeli missiles previously, but the strikes Tuesday night were the first in five days.

The overnight attack was Israel’s fourth on the Lebanese capital since it started targeting top Hezbollah officials in the country in mid-September. Israeli airstrikes on Oct. 10 killed at least 22 people and injured more than 120 others in a particularly deadly 24-hour period.

And it appears that preparations are being made for a widespread ground operation along the northern front…

Israeli troops have cleared landmines and established new barriers on the frontier between the Golan Heights and a demilitarized strip bordering Syria in a sign Israel may expand its ground operations against Hezbollah while bolstering its own defenses, security sources and analysts claimed on Tuesday.

The move suggests Israel may seek to strike Hezbollah for the first time from further east along Lebanon’s border, at the same time creating a secure area from which it can freely reconnoiter the terror group and prevent infiltration, the sources said.

Tens of thousands of people have already been killed since this war began on October 7th, 2023.

But if all-out war between Israel and Iran erupts, millions of people could die.

I wish that I was exaggerating.

This is it.

This is the biggest Middle East war, and as I have been warning for years, it is going to shock the entire planet.

Israel and Iran have been getting ready for this final showdown for a very long time.

And once they start going at it, this war won’t be over until one side settles things decisively.

Israel Is Getting Ready To Strike Iran, And Once That Happens Everything Will Change

October 15, 2024October 15, 2024 by Michael

At this moment, we are still waiting for the other shoe to drop. On October 1st, Iran launched approximately 200 missiles at Israel, and many of them hit their targets. Since that time, Israeli officials have been promising that there will be a very strong military response. Could that military response include a strike on Iran’s nuclear program? That is what former prime minister Naftali Bennett wants, and he is the most popular politician in Israel right now. There has also been speculation that Iran’s oil fields could be hit. But earlier this week it seemed like that was out of the question, because CNN was reporting that the coming Israeli strike on Iran would be “limited to military targets” only…

Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have assured the US that a counterstrike on Iran will be limited to military targets rather than oil or nuclear facilities, according to a source.

Other media outlets were reporting the same thing, and many of us trusted those reports.

But now Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it abundantly clear that those reports were not accurate…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took a swipe at President Biden’s administration Tuesday, stating firmly that Israel – not the U.S. – will decide how best to retaliate against Iran’s recent aggression.

Biden administration officials have urged Israel to show restraint against both Iran and Hezbollah, the terrorist proxy group operating in Lebanon. Netanyahu’s regime has mulled action against Iran since it fired roughly 200 missiles into Israeli territory on Oct. 1.

“We listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make our final decisions based on our national interest,” Netanyahu said in a statement.

Israel is going to strike Iran.

When it happens, we shall see what targets they have decided to hit.

Of course the Iranians have pledged to hammer Israel no matter what type of attack happens.

And if Iran sends more missiles into Israel, the Israelis will strike Iran even harder than they did the first time.

We are rapidly approaching a point of no return, and the all-out war between Israel and Iran that I have been warning about for years is at the door.

Needless to say, the Israelis and the Iranians are not talking to one another directly, but there had been hope that the U.S. might be able to get the Iranians to restrain themselves.

Unfortunately, any hope of that happening appears to be gone because Iran has “halted indirect talks with Washington” at this stage…

Tehran has halted indirect talks with Washington due to the escalating regional tension, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday, as Israel continued to plan a retaliatory strike against his country.

“Currently, we do not see any ground for these talks, until we can get past the current crisis,” Araghchi said while visiting Oman, which has played an intermediary role in the talks. His comments were reported by Iranian state-owned news outlet Press TV.

“Oman has always contributed greatly to solving the regional problems; and regarding Iran and the US, it has always tried to play a positive role in conveying a message or preparing the ground for negotiations,” he said.

Once Israel sends missiles into Iran, there will be no going back.

Of course a point of no return between Israel and Hezbollah has already been crossed.

Israeli forces have been conducting ground operations in southern Lebanon, and Netanyahu is pledging that his nation will continue “to hit Hezbollah mercilessly in all parts of Lebanon”…

“We will continue to hit Hezbollah mercilessly in all parts of Lebanon – also in Beirut,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed during a visit to the Golani training base near Binyamina, where four IDF soldiers were killed in a drone strike on Sunday.

“We are fighting a tough campaign against Iran’s Axis of Evil that wants to totally destroy us,” Netanyahu said. “They won’t make it. We keep fighting. We pay painful prices, but we have tremendous achievements – and we will continue to achieve them.”

About five million people live in Lebanon, and approximately one-fifth of them have been instructed to evacuate from their homes by the IDF…

Around a fifth of people in Lebanon have fled their homes, and around a quarter of the country is under Israeli military evacuation orders, according to the Middle East director of the United Nations Refugee Agency.

Lebanon’s entire population is around 5 million people.

Hezbollah has been wounded, but it is far from defeated.

I am expecting the fight for southern Lebanon to be quite dramatic.

Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post is reporting that two IDF tanks actually entered Syrian territory on Monday…

Two Israeli tanks crossed into Syria on Monday, according to Israeli media, citing Syrian reports.

Acoording to the reports, the tanks positioned themselves near the border town of Kwdana/Kodna, south of Quneitra, which has been the site of several tank battles, most famously in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

So far, the Jerusalem Post is the only major outlet that I have seen report this.

If this is true, Israel could also soon find itself directly fighting the Syrian military.

Is the IDF spreading itself too thin?

We shall soon find out.

Meanwhile, there have been some very alarming developments on the Korean peninsula.

The North Koreans have destroyed a very important road that was supposed to be used as a major highway when the two countries eventually reunited, and they are warning that “war may break out any moment”…

North Korea has warned that “war may break out any moment” after South Korea allegedly flew drones into Pyongyang – and it retaliated by destroying roads linking the countries.

The stark warning came after the country’s foreign ministry claimed that South Korean drones carrying propaganda leaflets critical of leader Kim Jong-un had flown over the North Korean capital Pyongyang three times. They claimed that the drones carrying leaflets filled with “inflammatory rumours and rubbish” were flown over the city on October 3, 9 and 10.

The North then blew up sections of road that, while not in use, are seen as symbolic of efforts to improve ties and, eventually, reunite the peninsula.

I have not written much about rising tensions on the Korean peninsula because I have been so focused on the Middle East, Russia and China.

But there is no doubt that this is a very serious situation.

The North Koreans are well prepared for an invasion of South Korea, and if Kim Jong Un senses an opportunity he may pull the trigger.

Needless to say, the Biden administration is desperate to keep another major conflict from erupting right now, because another major conflict would make the Democrats look bad.

This is especially true for the Middle East. If Iran and Israel start lobbing lots of missiles at one another, that could be the biggest “October surprise” that we have ever seen.

10 Signs That The Economy Is A Giant Mess As The Election Approaches

October 14, 2024October 14, 2024 by Michael

The health of the economy has been a major determining factor in many past presidential elections, and the health of the economy is certainly going to have an enormous influence on the outcome of the upcoming presidential election. In fact, according to a poll that was just released by Rasmussen the economy is the number one issue by a wide margin for voters in the ultra-important swing state of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately for the Democrats, most Americans are not pleased with how the economy is performing, and it appears that conditions are now taking another turn for the worse. The following are 10 signs that the economy is a giant mess as the election approaches…

#1 The number of Americans filing first time claims for unemployment benefits just hit the highest level in over a year…

The number of people filing for unemployment for the first time was at its highest levels in more than a year, partly due to storm damage and labor stoppages.

Initial jobless claims for the week ending Oct. 5 came in at 258,000, up 33,000 from last week’s level of 225,000, and the highest since it hit the same level in August 2023, data from the Labor Department shows.

#2 According to Primerica’s latest Financial Security Monitor report, the percentage of middle-income households that “rate their personal financial situation negatively” has hit the highest level that they have ever recorded…

Primerica’s latest Financial Security Monitor report for the third quarter found 55% of middle-income households now rate their personal financial situation negatively, a 6-point jump from the previous survey.

“For the first time in a year, a majority of middle-income households are feeling negative about their personal finances,” said Glenn Williams, CEO of Primerica. “In fact, this latest report represents the highest negative rating we’ve seen since we began fielding the survey exactly four years ago.”

#3 I am old enough to remember a time in this country when you were set for life if you had a million dollars. Unfortunately, thanks to our endless cost of living crisis it now costs 4.4 million dollars to live “the American Dream” over the course of a lifetime…

You can live the American Dream, but it will cost you.

The lifetime tab for such aspirations as owning a home, driving new cars, raising kids and taking annual vacations comes to a cool $4.4 million, according to Investopedia, the financial media site.

That’s more than the average American earns in a lifetime.

#4 The company that produces more french fries than anyone else in North America is cutting production and laying off workers due to a dramatic slowdown in consumer demand…

Lamb Weston, the largest producer of french fries in North America and a major supplier to fast-food chains, restaurants and grocery stores, is closing a production plant in Washington state. The company announced last week that it would lay off nearly 400 employees, or 4% of its workforce, and temporarily cut production lines in response to slowing customer demand.

#5 At one time Boeing was flying high, but now it has decided to lay off approximately 10 percent of its entire workforce…

The CEO of Boeing told employees late Friday that the company plans to cut 10% of its total staff “over the coming months.”

“Our business is in a difficult position, and it is hard to overstate the challenges we face together,” said Kelly Ortberg, who started at CEO of the troubled aircraft maker two months ago and has been dealing with a strike by 33,000 hourly workers for half his time on the job.

#6 The banking industry continues to deeply struggle. So far this year, banks in the United States have permanently shut down over 700 local branches…

US banks closed more than 700 branches in the first nine months of the year, forcing thousands to travel further to access vital services.

Bank of America closed the most locations of any bank, shuttering 132 between January and September.

U.S. Bank followed swiftly behind, having closed 101 of their own branches.

#7 After 75 years, True Value has been forced to file for bankruptcy and will be “selling substantially all of its operations to a rival”…

True Value, a 75-year old hardware store brand, has filed for bankruptcy and is selling substantially all of its operations to a rival, the company announced Monday.

In a press release, True Value said it will continue day-to-day operations of selling hardware and other homeware tools to its 4,500 independently operated locations during the Chapter 11 process, which includes a $153 million stalking horse bid from rival company Do it Best.

#8 Did you ever think that you would live to see a day when hundreds of 7-Eleven stores would be closing? Sadly, that time has now arrived…

Several hundred “underperforming” 7-Eleven locations across North America are closing, the convenience store announced.

Seven & I Holdings, the chain’s Japan-based parent company, revealed in an earnings report Thursday that 444 locations of 7-Eleven are shutting down because of a variety of issues, including slowing sales, declining traffic, inflationary pressures and a decrease in cigarette purchases.

#9 Home Depot apparently believes that rough times are ahead, because they are dumping millions of square feet of warehouse space…

Home Depot is hastily exiting warehouse space, to the tune of 3.2 million square feet in a month, according to Bisnow.

Since late August, Home Depot has put up nearly 4 million square feet of warehouse space for sublease, including a 1.3M SF Phoenix warehouse and a 1.1M SF distribution center in the Inland Empire, according to CoStar Analytics.

#10 At this point, things are so bad that even Disney is laying off workers…

According to sources cited by Deadline, Disney is pushing ahead with new layoffs as part of a broader “cost-saving initiative.” About 300 employees across Disney’s corporate divisions will be impacted this week.

The layoffs of 300 employees began on Tuesday and will continue until the end of the week. They are all US-based employees who work across the company’s corporate operations, including legal, HR, finance, and communications.

If you have recently lost your job, I feel very badly for you, because the employment market has gotten a lot more “complicated” than it was in the old days.

Once upon a time, being good at what you do was enough.

But now other considerations are often more important than pure merit…

A top Oregon state official has been put on administrative leave after a pink-haired, DEI-obsessed subordinate complained he was making hiring decisions based on qualifications instead of personal identity considerations, according to a report.

Mike Shaw, who until recently served as the Oregon Department of Forestry’s second-in-command, was put on blast by Megan Donecker, the department’s former DEI strategy officer, for looking “beyond gender and identity in hiring, seeking only candidates most qualified for the job,” OregonLive reported.

He was formally placed on administrative leave Aug. 6 after Donecker filed a formal complaint, according to the Daily Mail.

Isn’t that nuts?

Our society is getting crazier with each passing day, and I am deeply concerned about where all of this is heading.

Sadly, the tough economic times that we are experiencing now are not even worth comparing to the pain that is coming if we don’t turn things around.

Our system is literally crumbling right in front of our eyes, and unless something dramatic happens economic conditions in this country will soon become extremely harsh.

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

October 1, 2024 by Michael

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So what will those “severe consequences” look like?

Is the Biden administration about to fire missiles at Iran?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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