4-12-23, It's corporate suicide no matter which way you turn, short list of some corporations suffering: Bud Light, Victoria’s Secret, Old Navy, Coca-Cola, Nike, Disney, Adidas, Kellogg and More Are willingly choosing to push a “woke” agenda that is ruining their brands hard fought good names. More here: allnewspipeline.com/Mass_Corporate_Suicides.php *** The Babylon Bee [here] Woke behavior just for fun excerpt of parody follows: *Carefully choose your pronouns and then scream them at everyone you meet: Whenever you go to Costco, loudly scream your pronouns in shoppers' faces. *Select the most oppressed identity possible *Compare everything to Nazis (as long as you're a Democrat. If you're a Republican this might get you fired). *Learn to hate the right people: Hate is good when directed at the correct targets. | *Classify everyone according to their race and not as an individual: Always loudly acknowledge the skin color of every person you talk to and make it the main subject of the conversation. *If you are white have black friends: This may trick you into thinking you aren't racist. *Vote for policies that sound virtuous, no matter how much they actually harm people of color: Always vote for policies with virtuous-sounding names, even if they destroy black and brown communities.

SO FAR IN 2023 THREE LARGE BANKS HAVE CLOSED: WHAT'S NEXT?
3-31-23, * -- In addition to the three large banks that failed in USA recently [Silicon Valley, Silvergate & Signature], there are now 186 more smaller banks that - without some type of government intervention - are on the very same path. The problem is that large amounts of money above the FDIC insured deposits are being pulled out of these banks. At the moment fear is gripping people and they’re looking at anything above $250,000 at risk. Would they get their money back if the bank shutdown and when would they get it? In the case of the California ‘Silicon Valley Bank’ [SVB], their uninsured deposits are supposed to be returned within 3-6 months. In 2008 under GW Bush & 2010 under Obama [1]; we propped up banks, but it seems that larger banks and even our government are not having success holding these banks up. The best answer to this coming disaster is diversification. [..] We ‘re watching the latest dose of reality hit the American public and the world. My biggest piece of advice is: get used to it. We’re on a trajectory to tyranny. Do you think it is a coincidence that coming in May 2023 the USA Federal Reserve Bank is launching FedNow [2], a service offered to depository institutions that is billed for convenience and is safer, faster and stronger. | This is not a drill; it’s now time to diversify our wealth and to get plugged into our own local supply chain. Do business in trade and barter. Soon it will all be in the Feds hands and our options will be gone. While it might seem scary, I recommend keeping all insured deposits in local banks. These banks have to stay afloat in order for our economy to survive this; taking all our money out of banks will tank them and the economy. [1] Obama no more bank bailouts promise: To wild applause from his fellow Democrats Obama signed into law something called the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.” Cheered on by Vice President Joe Biden at his side Obama proclaimed: “There will be no more tax-funded bailouts — period.” https://ifapray.org/blog/obamas-promise-to-end-bank-bailouts/ [2] FedNow: FedRes announced a May 2023 launch of its FedNow. Craig Ramsey, head of real-time payments at ACI Worldwide reports it’ll scheduled to have choice of payments. Since Covid there’s been a big shift away from checks and cash to contactless cards, account-to-account and online payments.

Life Expectancy in the U.S. Dropped for the Second Year in a Row [here] 8-31-22, CDC -- According to new provisional data from the USA CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). That decline - 77.0 to 76.1 years - took U.S. life expectancy of white people to its lowest level since 1996. | Non-Hispanic Black people dropped from 71.5 years in 2020 to 70.8 in 2021. Hispanic people in the U.S. had a slight decline to 77.6 years. And non-Hispanic Asian people also dropped slightly to 83.5 years, the highest life expectancy of any race/ethnic group included in this analysis. |
4-12-23, Deliberate and intentional sin is covered in this scripture: Hebrews 6:4-6 & Hebrews 10:26-30 consequences of such sin (Hebrews 10:25) lead to awful judgment the final day will bring; the state described is one of wilful and continued sin, which is the result and the expression of apostasy from Christ. It's not, “If we fall under temptation and commit sin;” but, “If we are sinning willfully!” It's not merely the “knowledge;” but the “full knowledge” (Romans 1:28) of the truth has been received; they have been “sanctified in the blood of the covenant” (Hebrews 10:29). For such “there remains no longer a sacrifice for sins:” that offering of Jesus which they deliberately reject has abolished all the earlier sacrifices. For such sin as this, the sin of knowing and wilful rejection of the only Sin offering as God has provided no other sacrifice; as this sin is a total and final falling away. For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth. If after we are converted and become true Christians we should apostatize, it would be impossible to be recovered again. After receiving "full knowledge (1Timothy 2:4) of the truth," by having been "enlightened," and by having "tasted" the grace of "the Holy Ghost" (John 14:17) to fall away (Hebrews 3:12, 17, 6:6) and apostatized. (Heb 3:12) | It's not a sin of ignorance or error of infirmity, but a deliberate sinning against the Spirit (Hebrews 5:2): such sinning, where a consciousness of Gospel obligations - not only was - but is present: a sinning presumptuously and preseveringly against Christ's redemption for us and the Spirit of grace in us.

The Destruction of the American Male
In my day boys were forbidden to bully girls; today men are bullied by women and encouraged to do so. The role of men today is to get out of the way of women and preferred racial minorities. This is not a picture of a society that is succeeding.
4-6-23, * -- The backbone and principal resource of every nation is the heterosexual male population. Without them there is no country and births to take the place of deaths. Men have the temperament and strength to fight and lead. The strong masculine male protects women and children, property, borders. They lead families, communities, businesses and governments. Historically, that has always been their role. However, when men become effete, [like women weak and helpless] society collapses. In the USA this indispensable resource of strong masculine men is being destroyed. It begins with boys, which means they never become men. Historically boys were trained for leadership. They received more discipline and were given more independence and responsibility than girls. There was no such thing as a girl who wanted to be a boy or a boy who wanted to be a girl. "Transgenderism" is an invention of a sick and dying society. Almost everything related to becoming a man has been banned in America. School playground fights, today an excuse to call police and arrest children, were part of growing up. Sports were where you developed confidence as you learned to catch a high fly, field a grounder, throw a strike, hit a single or a home run. Boys used to be encouraged. They had their own space, sandlot teams, Little League, Boy Scouts. They had after school jobs–newspaper routes, bagging groceries, cutting lawns, washing cars. Girls developed cooking skills, sewing skills, artistic skills, chaste demeanor. None of this meant that women were barred from professional lives. They were authors, Registered Nurses, accountants, para-legals, teachers, scientists, scholars. | The destruction of the male began with "feminism." The feminists were the first transgender advocates. They insisted on no difference in the role of men and women. It was the feminists’ insistence that the male role was better than the female’s and that women assume male roles and male sexual promiscuity, combined with their attacks on men as misogynists that destroyed the role of men in society. All of a sudden it was not alright for boys to have their spaces. Boy Scouts had to have girls. Little league teams had to have girls. The equality on which feminists insisted meant that the independence of boys had to be curtailed. Today American parents who allow their male children the independence my generation had could be arrested for child endangerment. The feminist desire to turn women into men meant a diminution of male leadership roles in society as women entered politics and corporations were pressured to create “gender balance” in executive roles and in academia. Just as white people are sidelined by the accusation that they hold back blacks, men are sidelined by the assertion that they held back women. Normal young white heterosexual males grow up in a non-merit-based society. They witness preferences for females, preferences for blacks, preferences for sexual perverts. What do the normal white men get out of it … the theft of their leadership role and blame for holding back others. *Excerpted and adapted full original report by Paul Craig Roberts here https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2023/04/06/the-destruction-of-the-american-male/ |

Russian Federation
President Putin Speech
February 21, 2023
[Excerpt: 4 pages of 24*]
[..] Ukraine war: "The United States and NATO quickly deployed their army bases and secret biological laboratories near Russian borders. They mastered the future theatre of war during war games, and they prepared the Kiev regime which they controlled and Ukraine which they had enslaved for a large-scale war. Now they admit this publicly and openly, and they feel no shame about it. They seem to be proud and even to be revelling in their own perfidy, while calling the Minsk Agreements and the Normandy Format a diplomatic show and a bluff. It turns out that all this time, while Donbass was ablaze, while blood was being spilled, and while Russia sincerely made every effort to achieve a peaceful solution (I want to emphasize the word “sincerely”), they gambled on people’s lives, and in effect, were playing with marked cards, as they say in certain circles. This appalling method of deception has been tried and tested many times before. They behaved just as shamelessly and duplicitously when destroying Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, and Syria. They will never be able to wash off this shame. The concepts of honor, trust and decency are not for them. [..] Let me reiterate that they were the ones who started this war, while we used force and are using it to stop the war. …We are defending human lives and our common home, while the West seeks unlimited power. It has already spent over $150 billion on helping and arming the Kiev regime. [..] None of them [West] cares about human casualties and tragedies because many trillions of dollars are at stake, of course. They can also continue to rob everyone under the guise of democracy and freedoms, to impose neoliberal and essentially totalitarian values, to brand entire countries and nations, to publicly insult their leaders, to suppress dissent in their own countries and to divert attention from corruption scandals by creating an enemy image. We continue to see all this on television, which highlights greater domestic economic, social and inter-ethnic problems, contradictions and disagreements. [..] The Western elite make no secret of their goal, which is, I quote, “Russia’s strategic defeat.” What does this mean to us? This means they plan to finish us once and for all. In other words, they plan to grow a local conflict into a global confrontation. This is how we understand it and we will respond accordingly, because this represents an existential threat to our country. However, they too realize it is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield and are conducting increasingly aggressive information attacks against us targeting primarily the younger generation. They never stop lying and distorting historical facts as they attack our culture, the Russian Orthodox Church and other traditional religious organizations in our country. [..] Millions of people in the West realize that they are being led to a spiritual disaster. Frankly, the elite appear to have gone crazy, and it looks like there is no cure for that. But like I said, these are their problems, while we must protect our children, which we will do. We will protect our children from degradation and degeneration. Look what they are doing to their own people. It is all about the destruction of the family, of cultural and national identity, perversion and abuse of children, including pedophilia, all of which are declared normal in their life. They are forcing the priests to bless same-sex marriages. Bless their hearts, let them do as they please. Here is what I would like to say in this regard. Adult people can do as they please. We in Russia have always seen it that way and always will: no one is going to intrude into other people’s private lives, and we are not going to do it, either. But here is what I would like to tell them: look at the Holy Scripture and the main books of other world religions. They say it all, including that family is the union of a man and a woman, but these sacred texts are now being questioned. Reportedly, the Anglican Church is planning to explore the idea of a gender-neutral god. What is there to say? Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. | Clearly, the West will try to undermine and divide our society and to bet on the fifth columnists who, throughout history, and I want to emphasize this, have been using the same poison of contempt for their own Fatherland and the desire to make money by selling this poison to anyone who is willing to pay for it. It has always been that way. [..]As I have already said, the West has opened not only military and informational warfare against us, but is also seeking to fight us on the economic front. However, they have not succeeded on any of these fronts, and never will. Moreover, those who initiated the sanctions are punishing themselves: they sent prices soaring in their own countries, destroyed jobs, forced companies to close, and caused an energy crisis, while telling their people that the Russians were to blame for all of this. We hear that. They tried disrupting economic ties with Russian companies and depriving the financial system of its communication channels … the sanctions against Russia are merely a means, while the aim as declared by the Western leaders, to quote them, is to make us suffer. “Make them suffer” – what a humane attitude. They want to make our people suffer, which is designed to destabilize our society from within. However, their gamble failed to pay off. .. Russian businesses have restructured their logistics and have strengthened their ties with responsible, predictable partners – there are many of them, they are the majority in the world… You know, there is a maxim, “cannons versus butter.” Of course, national defense is the top priority, but in resolving strategic tasks in this area, we should not repeat the mistakes of the past and should not destroy our own economy. We have everything we need to both ensure our security and create conditions for confident progress in our country. As for agricultural production, it recorded two-digit growth rates last year. Thank you very much. We are most grateful to our agricultural producers. Russian agrarians harvested a record amount – over 150 million tonnes of grain, including over 100 million tonnes of wheat. By the end of the agricultural season, that is, June 30, 2023, we will bring our grain exports to 55–60 million tonnes.[..] The recession was limited to the second quarter of 2022, while the economy grew in the third and fourth quarters. In fact, the Russian economy has embarked on a new growth cycle. ... Enabling Russian companies and small family-run businesses to successfully tap the market is a victory in itself. Building cutting-edge factories and kilometres of new roads is a victory. Every new school, every new kindergarten we build is a victory. We will develop Black Sea and Sea of Azov ports. We will pay special attention to the North-South international corridor, as those who work on this every day know. Vessels with a draft of up to 4.5 meters will be able to pass through the Volga-Caspian Sea Canal this year. This will open up new routes for business cooperation with India, Iran, Pakistan, and the Middle Eastern countries. [..] Thanks to our strong payments balance, Russia does not need to borrow funds abroad, kowtow and beg for money, and then hold long discussions on what, how much and on what conditions we would pay back. Russian banks are working stably and sustainably and have a solid margin for security. [..] We have achieved real and visible change. Indeed, the results are there, but, again, we should keep in mind the circumstances in which our major businesses developed. Technologies were coming from the West, cheaper sources of financing and lucrative markets were in the West, and capital started flowing to the West as well. Unfortunately, instead of expanding production and buying equipment and technology to create new jobs in Russia, they spent their money on foreign mansions, yachts and luxury real estate. They began to invest in the economy later, but initially the money flowed rapidly to the West for consumption purposes. | … Recent events have clearly shown that the image of the West as a safe haven for capital was a mirage. Those who failed to understand this in time, who saw Russia only as a source of income and planned to live mostly abroad, have lost a lot. They just got robbed there and saw even their legitimate money taken away. At some point I made a joke – many may still remember it – I told Russian businesspeople that they will make themselves sick running from courtroom to courtroom and from office to office in the West trying to save their money. That is exactly how it turned out.[..] I would like those who have come up against the predatory mores of the West to hear what I have to say: running around with cap in hand, begging for your own money makes no sense, and most importantly, it accomplishes nothing, especially now that you realise who you are dealing with. Stop clinging to the past, resorting to the courts to get at least something back. … Launch new projects, earn money, work hard for Russia, invest in enterprises and jobs, and help schools and universities, science and healthcare, culture and sports. In this way, you will increase your wealth and will also win the respect and gratitude of the people for a generation ahead. The state and society will certainly support you. [..] In early February, 2023 the North Atlantic alliance made a statement with actual demand to Russia, as they put it, to return to the implementation of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, including admission of inspections to our nuclear defense facilities. I don’t even know what to call this. It is a kind of a theatre of the absurd. We know that the West is directly involved in the Kiev regime’s attempts to strike at our strategic aviation bases. The drones used for this purpose were equipped and updated with the assistance of NATO specialists. And now they also want to inspect our defense facilities? In the current conditions of confrontation, it simply sounds insane… the United States and NATO are openly saying that their goal is to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. And what, after such statements they are supposed to tour our defense facilities, including the latest ones, as if nothing happened? A week ago, I signed an executive order putting new land-based strategic systems on combat duty. Are they going to poke their nose there as well? Do they think we will let them go there just because? … NATO actually claimed to be a participant in the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Arms. We agree with this, please go ahead. Moreover, we believe this framing of the issue is long overdue. Let me recall that the US is not the only nuclear power in NATO. Britain and France also have nuclear arsenals. They are developing and upgrading them and these arsenals are also directed against us – they are also directed against Russia. The latest statements by their leaders merely confirm it. We cannot just ignore this and have no right to do so especially now. Nor can we forget that the Soviet Union and the United States initially signed the first Treaty on Strategic Offensive Arms in 1991 in a completely different situation – in conditions of abating tensions and growing mutual trust. Subsequently, our relations reached a level that allowed Russia and the US to say they no longer considered each other enemies. Wonderful, everything was going very well. The Treaty of 2010 that is in force contains critically important provisions about indivisible security and the direct link between strategic offensive and defensive arms. All of that has long been forgotten. The United States withdrew from the ABM Treaty. It is now a thing of the past. Importantly, our relations have degraded which can be credited entirely to the United States. |
"After the Soviet Union broke up, they began to revise the outcomes of World War II and to build an American-style world ruled by one master. To do this, they began to rudely destroy the foundations of the international order laid down after WWII in order to cross out the legacy of the Yalta and Potsdam conferences. Step by step, they proceeded to revise the existing international order, to dismantle security and arms control systems, and plotted and carried out a series of wars around the world. To reiterate, all of that was done for the sole purpose of dismantling the post-WWII architecture of international relations. This is not a figure of speech. This is how it all unfolded in reality. After the Soviet Union collapsed, they sought to perpetuate their global dominance regardless of the interests of modern Russia or other countries for that matter. Sure enough, the international situation changed after 1945. New centers of growth and influence have been formed and are rapidly expanding. This is a natural and objective process that cannot be ignored. But the United States trying to refashion the international order to suit exclusively its own needs and selfish interests is unacceptable. Now, they are using NATO to give us signals, which, in fact, is an ultimatum whereby Russia should, no questions asked, implement everything that it agreed to, including the New START Treaty, whereas they will do as they please. As if there is no connection between strategic offensive weapons and, say, the conflict in Ukraine or other hostile Western actions against our country. | As if there are no vociferous claims about them seeking to inflict a strategic defeat on us. This is either the height of hypocrisy and cynicism, or the height of stupidity, but they are not stupid after all. They want to inflict a strategic defeat on us and also to get to our nuclear sites. In this regard, I am compelled to announce today that Russia is suspending its membership in the New START Treaty. To reiterate, we are not withdrawing from the Treaty, but rather suspending our participation. Before we come back to discussing this issue, we must have a clear idea of what NATO countries such as France or Great Britain have at stake, and how we will account for their strategic arsenals, that is, the Alliance's combined offensive capabilities. [..] Given these circumstances, the Defence Ministry and Rosatom must make everything ready for Russia to conduct nuclear tests. We will not be the first to proceed with these tests, but if the United States goes ahead with them, we will as well. No one should harbor dangerous illusions that global strategic parity can be disrupted. [..] Russia will meet any challenges because we are all one country, a big and united nation. We are confident in ourselves and confident in our strength. The truth is on our side. Thank you." *Excerpted full original transcript [24 pages] here http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/70565 More here 2022 speech ‘Moral High Ground’ https://www.christianheadlines.com/columnists/guest-commentary/mr-putins-speech-and-the-matter-of-moral-high-ground-in-the-west.html |
SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas Accepts Yacht Vacations & Private Plane Travel [here] 4-6-23, Paoletta [1] has long been a pugnacious defender of Thomas and recently testified before Congress against strengthening judicial ethics rules. “There is nothing wrong with ethics or recusals at the Supreme Court. To support any reform legislation right now would be to validate these vicious political attacks on the Supreme Court,” referring to criticism of Thomas and his wife.) If Justice Thomas received free travel on private planes and yachts, failure to report the gifts is a violation of the disclosure law,” said Kedric Payne, senior director for ethics at the nonprofit government watchdog Campaign Legal Center. | (Thomas himself once reported receiving a private jet trip from Crow, on his disclosure for 1997.) June 2019, Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife were on a private jet for a vacation in Indonesia: nine days of island-hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a superyacht staffed by a coterie of attendants and a private chef. If Thomas had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000. He However the Thomas' were on vacation with real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, who owned the jet — and the yacht. | The experts said Thomas’ stays at Topridge may have required disclosure too, in part because Crow owns it not personally, but through a company. Until recently, the judiciary’s ethics guidance didn’t explicitly address the ownership issue. The recent update to the filing instructions clarifies that disclosure is required for such stays. For more than two decades, Thomas has annually accepted luxury trips from the Dallas businessman without disclosing them. How many times Thomas failed to disclose trips remains unclear. Flight records from the Fed Aviation Admin and FlightAware suggest he makes regular use of Crow’s plane. [1] Propublica here |
Israel Retaliates After More Rockets Fired from Syria
4-9-23, VOANews [here] -- The current round of violence between Muslims and Jews in Israel erupted earlier in the week after Israeli police raided the Islamic mosque on the Jewish Temple Mount. They fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse hundreds of Muslims [aka Palestinians] who had barricaded themselves inside. Violent scenes from the raid sparked unrest in Israel's capitol of Jerusalem. | Over 2,000 police were expected to be deployed in Jerusalem on Sunday, 4-9-23 when tens of thousands of Jews are expected to gather at the Western Wall for the annual Jewish Passover blessing.

4-9-23, Easter Sunday is the most holy day of the year for Christians. It commemorates the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ after He was crucified on a cross and died. He was in the tomb three days. Early Christians celebrated Jesus' resurrection on or near the date of the Jewish Passover. However, over the centuries the use of different calendar systems have caused the dates of Passover and Resurrection Sunday [aka Easter] to drift apart. Western churches now celebrate Easter on the first Sunday after the full moon that comes on or after the vernal equinox marking the beginning of Spring; anywhere between March 22 and April 25. The risen Lord appeared to hundreds of people before He ascended [Acts 1:11] back to Heaven. | The Risen Lord Jesus Twelve recorded appearances: 1. To Mary Magdalene when He arose on Sunday. Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:9-11, John 20:11-18 2. Women, Matthew 28:1 3. To Cleophas and another on the road to Emmaus, Mark 16:12-13, Luke 24:13-32, John 24:33-35, 1 Corinthians 15:5 4. To Simon Peter, Luke 24:33-35, 1 Corinthians 15:5 5. Astonished disciples with a commission, Mark 16:14, Luke 24:36-43, 1 Corinthians 15:5 6. Disciples and doubting Thomas, John 20:26-31 7.

The Lord Jesus Arose Just Like He Said
4-8-23, The three days from the Lord Jesus’ burial to His resurrection were silent and the apparent hope on earth was lost. The Lord's faithful followers were in deep grief and fear not knowing if this was the end. They were probably in a panic and they felt alone. However, Jesus promised to never leave them – He said, “After three days, I will rise again.” [1] The fact that Jesus rose from the dead matters to His faithful followers because our justification hinges on it. “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification” (Romans 4:25). A dead Savior cannot save, but we have a living Savior who justifies us and makes intercession for us (see Hebrews 7:25). | The fact that Jesus rose from the dead is fundamental to our faith. 1 Corinthians 15:14-18 is a detailed explanation of the importance of Jesus’ resurrection. “And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith … if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins and believers who have died are “lost.” Christ was the first to permanently rise from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:20-23), clearing the way for a future resurrection for all who have repented and are born again believers [John 3:3, 7]. Jesus’ claim that He has the power to grant eternal life is to be trusted because He Himself conquered death. (Romans 8:11; John 3:16–18; 10:28) |

Gaza, Temple Mount and the Hebrew Passover Lamb:
A Story of Annual Holiday Conflict
Lebanon: Dozens of rockets fired into Israel, IDF says | CNN 4-6-23, CNN -- Thirty-four rockets from Lebanon were launched into the Jewish nation of Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said the majority were intercepted but six landed. Israeli military believes the Islamic terror group Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group in Gaza was behind the attack, not the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. | Gaza Islamic Terrorists Fire Rockets at Israel in response to Temple Mount confrontation linked to Passover Lamb 4-6-23, IsraelToday [here] -- After evening prayers (we are in the midst of Ramadan) a large group of Muslim youth barricaded themselves inside the Al Aqsa Mosque with a stockpile of stones and fireworks. Israel Police officers tried to convince them to stand down, but were eventually forced to enter the mosque, at which point they were attacked with said stones and fireworks. | Yes, the pious Muslim youth shot fireworks inside Islam’s supposedly third holiest site. The reason for the riots is the attempt by some religious Jewish elements to reinstate the Passover sacrifice atop the Temple Mount. Islam views expressions of Jewish faith at Judaism’s holiest site of TEMPLE MOUNT [where King Solomon built a temple] where the Islamic Dome of the Rock sits as a provocation, and even an act of war. |
Leader Of The Group ‘Return to the Mount’ Detained By Police [here]... On Suspicion He Was Preparing To Sacrifice A Paschal Lamb On The Temple Mount On on the Jewish holiday of "Passover" 4-5-23, BeforeItsNews -- FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: In recent days, in Jerusalem Israel Temple Mount religious faithful have intensified their attempts to prepare to carry out the Paschal sacrifice [killing a lamb]. The activists make similar attempts every year and annually are prevented from bringing the sacrificial lambs to the Temple Mount by police. | The Institution of the Passover The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, Tell the whole community of Israel, ‘In the tenth day of this month they each must take a lamb for themselves according to their families – a lamb for each household. Your lamb must be perfect, a male, one year old; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. They will take some of the blood and put it on the two side posts and top of the doorframe of the houses where they will eat it. [And the death angel passed over the faithful Hebrews with Moses] Exodus 12:1-28 |
The Lord Jesus is the World's
'Passover Lamb'
Exodus 12:3, 13 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month they are each one to take a lamb for themselves, according to their fathers’ households, a lamb for each household. v13 The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth.
Psalm 34:20 He keeps all his bones, Not one of them is broken.
John 1:29, 19:36 John *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! V36 For these things came to pass to fulfill the Scripture, “Not a bone of Him shall be broken.”
Revelation 13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.
Despite BRICS Ambitions, Three Reasons Why the US Dollar Isn't Going Away
4-4-23, * -- The prospect of a new world currency has been gaining traction, with the BRICS alliance exploring the idea of an innovative currency. The BRICS alliance discussions regarding the establishment of a unified currency backed by assets such as gold and rare-earth elements, may seem like a potential threat to the USD as BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, CHINA, SO AFRICA -- plan to share proposals at the upcoming August 2023 summit in South Africa on the potential impact on the U.S. dollar as the dominant global currency. However, despite the buzz, there are a few reasons suggesting the dollar is not giving up its position anytime soon. The world's confidence in the U.S. and its currency has led to about 60% of global foreign currency reserves being held in USD, far ahead of other currencies such as the euro, yen and Chinese renminbi. Also, supporting the U.S. dollar's dominance is the network effect it has in trade invoicing and international finance. The USD is the most popular medium of exchange for trade, with more than 70% of exports outside of Europe being invoiced in the currency. And the Dollar’s popularity as a medium of exchange has solidified its position as the dominant currency in international banking. | The U.S. has maintained massive trade deficits, which has led to an abundance of U.S. treasury securities and banknotes held by the rest of the world. While countries could potentially decide to trade in their own currencies instead of the USD, there are several issues that hinder this transition. A shift away from the current economic system that relies heavily on exports to drive economies would be challenging for countries like China, Germany, Taiwan and South Korea. Transitioning to a consumption-led system would require a significant redistribution of national income and would be a massive political undertaking. The reality is that there is no practical alternative to the U.S. dollar at this time, and its dominance in the global financial landscape is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. *Excerpted and adapted full original report from Benzinga here https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/04/31662363/new-world-currency-here-are-3-reasons-why-the-us-dollar-isnt-going-away-despite-brics-ambi |

Fluoride is toxic; the number one reason for poison control calls...
"child ate toothpaste!"
1. Skeletal fluorosis is a condition resulting from fluoride consumption. The liver is unable to process fluoride, thus it passes into the bloodstream where it combines with calcium that's been leeched from the skeletal system. You're left with weak bones. 2. Fluoride has been shown to cause calcification of cartilage, the essential tissue for joint health = arthritis 3. Toxic to the Thyroid - Iodine and fluoride belong to a family of compounds known as halogens. Although iodine is beneficial to the thyroid, fluoride is not. However, because of the similarities, the thyroid can absorb fluoride instead of iodine. 4. Higher levels of fluoride correspond to lower fertility rates, particularly with drinking water levels of 3 ppm. Men suffering from fluorosis have lower testosterone. 5. Higher rate of chronic kidney disease has been reported in areas where the water contains high levels of fluoride. 6. Exposure to fluoride causes cardiovascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. | 7. The Fluoride Action Network reports that fluoride negatively impacts children’s neural development and children living in highly fluoridated areas have up to five times greater chance of developing a low IQ. Most water filters are not adequate for removing fluoride; reverse osmosis water purification systems do. Using non-fluoride toothpaste can immediately reduce your fluoride exposure. Maintaining healthy iodine levels can help protect the thyroid from fluoride. Fluoridated water is the largest concern.

Judge Juan Merchan Presided Over:
1. Steve Bannon's Case = guilty contempt of congress
2. Weisselberg Case = guilty tax evasion
3. Corp Tax Evasion Case = guilty
4. President Trump = ?
Trump Indictment: 34 felony charges - Judge Juan Merchan 4-4-23, NYPost [here]-- President Trump, 76, is facing a total of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, which each carry a maximum sentence of four years behind bars. Taken together, he could face 136 years behind bars. Prosecutors are hinging their case on three instances of Trump allegedly employing “catch and kill” tactics, where he, his then-lawyer Michael Cohen and Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg conspired to cover up potential sex scandals from coming to light. The illegal activity allegedly started in 2015 when the CEO of American Media Inc. (AMI) at the time, David Pecker, agreed to act as the “eyes and ears” for Trump’s presidential campaign and would alert Cohen before a negative story was published, according to the statement of facts filed by prosecutors. A few months later, around December 2015, AMI paid a former Trump Tower doorman $30,000 to prevent him from going public with allegations that the real estate mogul had fathered a child out of wedlock, the court document states. | Within the Indictment Trump accused of having secret love child [here] 4-4-23, NYPost -- Trump Tower doorman, Dino Sajudin was paid $30,000 after he claimed to have knowledge of an affair which led to the birth of Donald Trump's illegitimate child. Sajudin was told not to 'criticize' her. National Enquirer paid $30,000 but never published a story [here]. Reportedly the unnamed woman at the center of the salacious story “emphatically” denied that she had an affair with Trump, telling the Associated Press: “This is all fake.” *** President Trump Lashes Out at Prosecutors here: www.nationalreview.com/news/trump-accuses-criminal-prosecutor-of-election-interference-in-defiant-post-arraignment-speech/?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=article | Allen Weisselberg Trial August 2022 Judge Merchan Guilty Five Months At Rykers In August 2022 ex-Trump organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg plead guilty to tax fraud charges in Manhattan. In part of a plea deal that could potentially make him a star witness against the company at its upcoming trial. Weisselberg, 75, admitted to accepting more than $1.7 million in “off the books” compensation from the company over the years to avoid taxes. He received perks like free rent on an Upper West Side apartment, luxury cars and tuition payments for his grandchildren. The Judge Juan Manuel Merchan agreed during the hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court to sentence Weisselberg to five months in Rikers Island jail, following the Trump Org.’s trial. Weisselberg will also have to pay nearly $2 million in taxes, penalties and interest. In exchange, he will be required to testify “truthfully” about the Trump Org.’s alleged role in the illegal compensation scheme when the real estate business goes on trial in October on related criminal charges. If he doesn’t, the judge said Weisselberg faces between five to 15 years in a state prison. |

Trump Corp Trial Began Oct 31, 2022
In New York, a criminal trial accused the Trump Organization of tax evasion; BBC notes [here] that neither President Trump nor his family members were accused. According to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, for 15 years, the company, which is now run by Trump's two adult sons - Donald Jr. and Eric Trump - did not take into account part of the payments and bonuses to management and, accordingly, did not pay taxes.
On December 6, 2022 the Trump Org was convicted on all 17 counts of tax fraud, falsifying business records, conspiracy and related crimes; could face fines of $1.6 million. More here
