Zinc, Aluminum Smelters Shuttered In Europe Due To Soaring Power Prices

8-22-22, * -- Industries from fertilizer to aluminum are being crippled by soaring energy costs as Russia squeezes gas flows to Europe. This will only further slow following last week's report that Nord Stream 1 will be shut down from Aug 31 to (at least) Sept 2, 2022.  Benchmark power prices soared to all-time highs this week as the worst energy crisis in decades look to persist well into 2023. Bloomberg reports that Europe’s energy crisis has claimed another victim in the power-hungry metals industry as aluminum and zinc companies are scheduled to go dark at end of September 2022:
  • Europe’s largest zinc smelters: [Production of zinc requires about 4 megawatt-hrs of power per ton.] The Budel smelter in the Netherlands Zinc trading on the London Metal Exchange jumped as much as 7.2%.
  • Nyrstar plant, which accounts for about 2% of global output, has been operating at a reduced rate since the fourth quarter of 2020. 
  • Norsk Hydro said it planned to shutter an aluminum smelter in Slovakia. [Each ton of aluminum takes about 14 megawatt-hours of power to produce, enough to run an average UK home for more than three years.]
Traders are monitoring power issues in China, where Sichuan province - a significant aluminum hub - is rationing electricity amid soaring temperatures. China boosted exports in recent months to help plug the gap overseas, and a reversal in that trend could underpin prices even as risks to demand grow.

Scripture for Today, 8-21-22: Trees

8/21/2022

8-21-22, God said: “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed and fruit trees yielding fruit: and it was so.” Genesis 1:11
 
There are thirtyseven trees mentioned in the Holy Bible; here are ten:
  1. ​ Oak, Genesis 35:8
  2.  Palm, Exodus 15:27
  3. Almond, Ecclesiastes 12:5
  4.  Apple, Song of Songs 2:3
  5.  Walnut, Song of Songs 6:11
  6.  Willow,  Ezekiel 17:5
  7.  Cedar, 1 Kings 4:33
  8.  Cypress, Isaiah 44:14
  9.  Sycamore, Luke 19:4
  10.  Fig, Matthew 21:19
Note: Many of the trees of the Bible are used symbolically. As example the cypress tree is one of the tallest trees in the Holy Land of Israel and is often associated with death and the hope of heaven. It's often used to praise divine Wisdom:

I was established in the holy city and my power was in Jerusalem; I took root in an honorable people and in the portion of my God His inheritance and my abode is in the full assembly of His saints. I was exalted like a cedar on mount Sion and as a rose plant in Jericho: As a fair olive tree in the plains and as a sycamore tree by the water was I exalted. -- [Paraphase taken from Ecclesiastes and Jeremiah]

Comics, 8-21-22: Israel Fights Back to Win

8/21/2022

ISRAEL IS BEING CRITICIZED OVER CIVILIAN CASUALTIES, BUT WOULD US FORCES PERFORM ANY BETTER?
8-21-22, 
The answer is no. The recent Gaza violence is an excellent reminder for US ground forces to look critically at our own capacities. The need to execute feasible yet acceptable courses of action to satisfy the 'fairness' goals of the world is not fair to those who are the victims of the original attacks. In Israel disproportionate collateral damage is happening because the Muslims terrorists place their rocket launchers in civilian locations and blame the Jews for being inhumane when they fight back ...
Were 5 Gazan kids killed by IDF or Islamic Jihad? [more here]
On August 6, 2022 Israel Defense officials were quickly able to determine that not only were the IDF not responsible, but that Islamic Jihad very clearly was.
A headline in Germany’s Bild newspaper on Sunday morning read, “Palestinian missile kills civilians in Gaza: Terror bullets explode on their own territory.”  CNN noted that, “In one incident Saturday, four children were among seven people killed in an explosion in Jabalya. The Palestinian Health Ministry initially said the blast was caused by an Israeli airstrike. Israel rejected the claim and said it was the result of errant rocket fire, and released a video showing what it said was the Islamic Jihad rocket sharply changing course in the air and hitting civilians."

An Islamic Jihad rocket misfire claimed the lives of at least nine people in Jabalya, including four children. The IDF published a video to support its claims. One of the hundreds of rockets Palestinian Islamic Jihad launched toward Israelis backfired, falling and exploding in Gaza itself. This time it was fired from a mosque, compounding the war crime of acting from civilian populations onto the war crime of attacking them. 

Two videos, one from Palestinian sources spread on social media and another grainy, black-and-white one from the IDF, showed what actually took place.

Scripture for Today, 8-20-22: Virtuous Abigail

8/20/2022

8-20-22, There was a very rich man, Nabal who rudely denied compensating David for protecting his flocks causing David to be enraged and planning to kill him and all of his people. Nabal had a virtuous wife [Proverbs 31:10], Abigail who took quick action sending provisions to head off the slaughter. With her ample supply of food and apologies David halts his plan. When Abigail returned home, she found her wicked husband drunk ... there's not a surer sign that a man has but little wisdom, nor a surer way to destroy the little he has, than drinking to excess. Next morning soon passes the laughter of the fool; especially when shocking news assails him! The Lord smote Nabal and he died. David thanked and praised God that he had been kept from killing Nabal and … he later married the lovely virtuous Abigail!

Majority see FBI as Biden's 'personal Gestapo' after Trump raid
8-18-22, Breitbart -- The charge that the USA's FBI is behaving like the Commie "Gestapo" was coined by President Trump's supporter Roger Stone whose home was also invaded; he said: "The agency's standing is at rock bottom among Republicans and conservatives and not too healthy with independents and moderates,"
 
According to the latest polling of Rasmussen Reports only bad news for America’s Fascist FBI:
"A majority of 53 percent of Americans now see the FBI for what it really is: Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo." 
To the surprise of no one, this poll also shows that Democrats love the Federal Gestapo Agents. A full 63 percent of Democrats approve of the FBI. Yes, and only 30 percent of the defund-the-police Democrats view the Nazis in the FBI unfavorably.
Nothing would make Democrats happier than dissolving all local and state police departments and replacing them with a centralized federal police force they can control and corrupt. Democrats would love to do to policing what they have already done to education, as well as environmental and fiscal policy — which is to nationalize it into a one-size-fits-all ...

Scripture for Today, 8-19-22: David Beheads Goliath!

8-19-22, The Hebrews were very afraid of the Philistine monster, Goliath. While the young shepherd boy, David was not, he said:
'I killed a lion and a bear,
[1 Sam 17:34-37] I can, by God's power, kill this Philistine!' The boy challenged the huge man with only a pouch of five stones. David said to the Goliath: "Thou come to me with sword, spear and shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee and take thine head!" ​
Then David threw one stone hitting the giant in the forehead & killing him. Goliath fell on his face & David having no sword - climbed on top of him, taking HIS sword & cut off his head. [1 Sam 17:51] Arrogance & presumption of fools destroy them; nothing can excel the humility, faith & piety which appear in David's words. He expressed his assured expectation of success; he gloried in his youth, small stature, appearance & lack of weapons that the victory would be ascribed to the Lord alone. 1 Samuel 17:1-51
"With us is the LORD our God to help us, & to fight our battles." 2 Chronicles 32:8

Antarctic Island: Penguins Saved by Dogs

Macquarie Island Reborn:
From 300,000 Rodents & Rabbits to None
Penguins Return and Thrive
Thanks to Dogs!

8-10-22, Guardian -- Macquarie Island [21 miles x 3 miles] is a unique place in Tasmania halfway between New Zealand and Antarctica. A $25 million dollar project was engineered to clear the land of cats, rabbits and rats allowing the populations of penguins (including the endemic royal penguin), albatrosses, petrels and prions to survive once more. They used -- DOGS.
​
Just like every other island on Earth, sailors during the 1800s brought cats, rats, mice and rabbits [for fresh meat] ashore which ultimately decimated the vegetation and insect populations turning the island into a barren rock.
New Zealand trainers delivered Labradors, Springer Spaniels and Terriers to chase down the pests. The dogs were trained not to harm the natural wildlife; walking through a colony of 5,000 penguins - with dogs off leash - with no harm to the penguins. It's estimated that approximately 300,000 cats, rabbits & rodents were eliminated! The island pest eradication has been seen as one of the best-performing conservation strategies employed worldwide by humans. Many islands from Macquarie to the Galapagos are now free from introduced European pests. Indeed, Macquarie is just one of 181 islands [here] that have - since 2000 - eradicated over 800 invasive species.

CBS pushes study blaming climate change for rising childhood obesity
8-14-22, NYPOST --  Hotter temperatures is the result of 'climate change' says CBS. Now they claim rising childhood obesity rates is one result ... A study posted in the National Library of Medicine in July found that a “significant weight increase was reported in the majority of subjects.”​
It concluded, “Data analysis clearly demonstrated the detrimental impact of COVID-19 lockdown on children and adolescents’ body weight and BMI, children with pre-existing overweight/obesity being more at risk of gaining weight.” More here from Fox News
​Does climate change cause wars? 
7-11-19, WashPost -- The human consequences of climate change include conflicts ... Think of climate change as “loading the dice,” making conflict more likely to occur in subtle ways across a host of various nation's contexts. In that sense, the future looks bleak unless the world changes its current trajectory.

Scripture for Today, 8-18-22: Demotion of King Saul

8-18-22, After King Saul disobeyed the Lord's commands, the Prophet Samuel told him: "I will not return with thee...." 'For thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel."

He let Saul know that his pretended confession and repentance had made no alteration in the decree and sentence of God respecting the kingdom. He wasn't satisfied with Saul's repentance and confession as he tried to lay the blame on the people. This he said by way of resentment and expressed his indignation at him, although afterwards he changed his mind returning with him; which a good man may be allowed to do without any imputation of falsehood or a lie.

8-17-22, The Prophet Samuel told the wicked people: "...if ye shall still do wickedly; continue to rebel against God, revolt from Him departing from worshiping Him while despising His prophets serving idols: ye shall be consumed." [1 Samuel 12:25]

Who will deny that the USA has and is doing wickedly while blaspheming and scorning the Lord God almighty?

Is God in the process of 'consuming' America? Clearly it's long over due.

Why do we think that, although God punished the past wicked idol worshipers; He won't punish the future wicked?

Yes, the Lord Jesus came to save those who repent and trust Him as Savior [John 3:3, 7, 14:6] - but the scorners are not.

Kidnap Gov Whitmer: FBI Hoax

8/17/2022

Contrived Kidnapping Plot & Entrapment by FB

8-17-22, American Greatness * -- In the spring of 2020, President Trump posted three tweets in a row aimed at Democrat governors demanding their states be liberated from their draconian lockdowns amid the COVID-19 virus scare. His tweets coincided with anti-lockdown rallies in several states, including a blockade around the Michigan Capitol building in Lansing. As usual, the media expressed shock and horror at the innocuous tweets, insisting the president was encouraging violence against his political rivals. [..]
 
Less than six months later, ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Trump’s critics appeared vindicated when law enforcement authorities arrested several men accused of conspiring to kidnap and possibly kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
A plan now exposed as a case of FBI entrapment. Recently a Michigan jury acquitted two defendants and could not reach a verdict on two others. Defense attorneys successfully argued that multiple FBI agents and informants attempted to induce the men to commit the crimes.
 On April 1, 2022 Fox’s attorney, Christopher Gibbons, told the jury:  
“That’s unacceptable in America,” ... “That’s not how it works. They don’t make terrorists so we can arrest them.” … “This event, like all the others was conceived, planned, and conducted by the federal investigative team of agents and undercover informants working together to provide a stage upon which to manipulate their targets into acting out ostensibly incriminating behavior the government hoped to elicit in its bid to develop and then ‘interrupt’ the operation of a ‘domestic terrorist organization.’”
In the Whitmer kidnapping hoax the USA government not only attempted to manufacture “terrorists” — the same FBI operation also tried to coax a man in Virginia to participate in the same sort of plot against Virginia Governor Ralph Northam. That scheme didn’t fully materialize, however. [..]
 
So, now that the kidnapping plots have been exposed as an elaborate case of FBI entrapment, the public deserves to know how the governors were “briefed” on the sting operation... *Excerpted and adapted full original report from Julie Kelly.. much more here https://amgreatness.com/2022/04/14/the-other-fednapping-plot/

8-16-22, Anti-God Philistines absconded with the ARK OF GOD ... they foolishly thought they could get away with it. They placed it next to THEIR god statue Dagon - a fish. They discovered their idol fell over - they set it back up - and the next day it fell over again and on it's face with it's head and hands broken off. Which showed that the first fall wasn't by chance, but by the power of God, before Whom it could not stand. The head is the seat of wisdom; the hands the instruments of action; both are cut off, to show that it had neither wisdom nor strength. The Philistines, instead of being convinced that Dagon was no god, they even honored the threshold floor it fell on!

THE USA HAS GONE BANANAS
8-16-22, Ben Garrison – Early American writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, publisher and political philosopher Benjamin Franklin [1706-1790] told us we had a Republic — “if we could keep it.”  We couldn’t keep it; it's been slipping away for a long time and now it’s official: We’re a failed state. The Marxist Democrats, led by Barack Obama, are using the tactics of third-world dictatorships. Barry promised to fundamentally transform America; he succeeded -- he transformed us from a Republic to a Banana Republic. They’re using a corrupt and politicized FBI as muscle. Their legacy media is used to propagandize and brainwash citizens. Elections are stolen. 
The Democrats want to be a ‘perma-party.’ The Republicans have way too many RINOs [Republican’s in name only] willing to assist them. Their opponents are slandered and broken economically by the Marxist Democrats’ ‘lawfare.’ One former CIA chief, Michael Hayden, even called for President Trump’s execution [here]. Democrats can commit the most egregious crimes and nothing happens. Republicans get show trials and sudden arrests over the most trivial matters. They have been handcuffed, strip-searched, and intimidated by brute force.  Joe Biden and his son Hunter commit crimes and nothing happens [while he's 'elected' president of the USA!]

Six Barren Women Recorded in Scripture

8-15-22, There are six women recorded in the Bible who were 'barren;' they desperately wanted children. In Genesis, three of the four matriarchs are Sarah, Rebekah and Rachel. Hannah, the anonymous wife of Manoah and the “great woman of Shunem:"  ​
Picture
1. Sarai pleads with husband, Abram and ultimately she had Isaac whose descendants inherited the land of Israel (Genesis 17:15-27)
2. Rebekah’s husband, Isaac prayed for Rebekah to have baby; she had twins, Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25:21)who were the patriarchs of the Jews and Muslims.
3. Rachel pleads with Jacob, “Give me children or else I die” she had Joseph and Benjamin (Genesis 30:1)
4. Wife of Manoah, had Samson (Judges 13:4-5)
5. Hannah pleaded with God for a son – she had the Prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 1:16)
6. Shunammite was a devoted woman of God. Elisha promised her a child. (2 Kings. 4:13, 16).

In the psalms of praise, God is the source of fertility and conception – children are a wonderful gift from God.
Genesis 1:28; 3 John 1:4; Proverbs 17:6; Psalm 113:9, 127:3-5; 1 Samuel 2:5

"Internal Radical Service"
​***
The New IRS will have more agents than the:
PENTAGON, STATE DEPT, FBI AND BORDER PATROL ...
Combined!

How the IRS abuses taxpayer dollars to advance leftwing causes illegally and unconstitutionally.
8-15-22, David Horowitz -- ​ ... The IRS has already been weaponized as a national federal police force to harass, punish and obstruct conservative and religious organizations. Under Obama, the IRS blocked the efforts of hundreds of Tea Party and other conservative groups to apply for tax-exempt status. The objective was to prevent those groups – and the millions of voters whom they might potentially have influenced – from having a voice in our democracy.  But this persecution of conservatives is only half the story. Over the years, the IRS has allowed hundreds of billions of tax-payer dollars to fund left-wing tax-exempt foundations violating its own rules, while denying conservative foundations the same access. 
This has had the effect of creating a lobby within the Democrat Party that has transformed it into a radical force bent on “fundamentally transforming the United States of America." [1]
​
The IRS violations include providing taxpayer subsidies to Democrat election campaigns; to underwriting Black Lives Matter riots which caused billions of dollars in property damage and led to the deaths of scores of individuals; the Internal Revenue Code's explicit requirement that all charitable activities should “promote the public good”; and the funding of racist policies which violate the Civil Rights Act and the Constitution...

[1] In 2008, US Presidential Candidate Barack Hussein Obama said:
"Don't tell me that words don't matter."
Are we to believe him? Do words really matter? He said: "we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." 
What he meant was what he said or wasn't it? Maybe he meant that he wanted to uproot our Republic and make it into something of his liking, something that would allow the "redistribution" of wealth like he promised during the election. Maybe he wanted/wants a nation where those who produce supplement and support those who do not produce. See 1.26 min video here:

The Long Death of America’s Middle Class
TheIntlMan -- The American middle class is dying. In 2015, it dipped below 50% of the population for the first time since data collection started. It’s now an official minority group. [..] In the late 1950s was the golden age of America’s middle class. The US had robust Main Streets and thriving small businesses. Back then, the US produced three-quarters of the world’s cars, airplanes, most of the world’s steel and built the majority of the world’s skyscrapers. Alas ... all that has changed ...
Globalists Are  Destroying USA Middle Class
10-2-17, MichaelSynder -- The United States has lost more than 70,000 manufacturing facilities since China joined the 'WORLD TRADE ORG' [WTO] and this is one of the biggest factors that has eroded the middle class. [..] Most people don’t realize that our economy is being integrated into a global economic system; that's bad for American workers.Now they're being merged into a global labor market where we must compete directly for jobs with workers in nations where it's legal to pay slave labor wages...

Picture
 8-14-22, The Gospel of Matthew traces the ancestry of the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ back to the patriarch Abraham plus 41 other men including Jacob, Judah, David and Solomon. Somewhat unusual - the list includes four women that have spotty reputations: a prostitute, a woman who pretended to be a prostitute, a sexually forward widow and a woman taken in adultery. With the fifth woman, Mary, the mother of the Lord:
1. TAMAR - Genesis 38:11
2. RAHAB - Joshua 2:3
3. WIFE OF URIAH, BATHSHEBA - 2 Samuel 11:26
4. RUTH - Ruth 4:13
5. MARY - Matthew 1:16
