United States White House
Washington DC, USA

President Donald J. Trump:
"As long as I am President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
Good morning. I’m pleased to inform you the American people should be extremely grateful and happy that no Americans were harmed in last night’s attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties, all of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases.

​Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world.

No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken, the dispersal of forces, and an early warning system that worked very well. I salute the incredible skill and courage of America’s men and women in uniform.

For far too long — all the way back to 1979, to be exact — nations have tolerated Iran’s destructive and destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over. Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism, and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We will never let that happen.

Last week, we took decisive action to stop a ruthless terrorist from threatening American lives. At my direction, the United States military eliminated the world’s top terrorist, Qasem Soleimani. As the head of the Quds Force, Soleimani was personally responsible for some of the absolutely worst atrocities.

He trained terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets. He fueled bloody civil wars all across the region. He viciously wounded and murdered thousands of U.S. troops, including the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember their victims.

Soleimani directed the recent attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq that badly wounded four service members and killed one American, and he orchestrated the violent assault on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. In recent days, he was planning new attacks on American targets, but we stopped him.

Soleimani’s hands were drenched in both American and Iranian blood. He should have been terminated long ago. By removing Soleimani, we have sent a powerful message to terrorists: If you value your own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people.

As we continue to evaluate options in response to Iranian aggression, the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior.

In recent months alone, Iran has seized ships in international waters, fired an unprovoked strike on Saudi Arabia, and shot down two U.S. drones.

Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. Instead of saying “thank you” to the United States, they chanted “death to America.” In fact, they chanted “death to America” the day the agreement was signed.

Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal, and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration. The regime also greatly tightened the reins on their own country, even recently killing 1,500 people at the many protests that are taking place all throughout Iran.

The very defective JCPOA expires shortly anyway, and gives Iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout. Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism. The time has come for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and China to recognize this reality.

They must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal -– or JCPOA –- and we must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place. We must also make a deal that allows Iran to thrive and prosper, and take advantage of its enormous untapped potential. Iran can be a great country.

Peace and stability cannot prevail in the Middle East as long as Iran continues to foment violence, unrest, hatred, and war. The civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the Iranian regime: Your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. It will not be allowed to go forward.

Today, I am going to ask NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process. Over the last three years, under my leadership, our economy is stronger than ever before and America has achieved energy independence. These historic accompliments [accomplishments] changed our strategic priorities. These are accomplishments that nobody thought were possible. And options in the Middle East became available. We are now the number-one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. We are independent, and we do not need Middle East oil.

US Officials believe Iran intentionally killed no one
1-8-20, Fox News -- Reportedly Iran fired dozens of missiles aimed at bases in Iraq in retaliation for the American strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani last week. Iran may have chosen to just send a face saving message rather than take significant enough action to provoke a substantial US military response. Many believe the current action is possibly a signal that the Iranian administration's current desire is to calm tensions. Iranian missiles landed close to the US consulate in Erbil, but didn’t target the consulate itself, though the belief is that they could have...

1-5-20, * -- Recently US embassy in Iraq was attacked by Iran’s Islamic Shiite members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), it was a deliberate recreation of the February 1979 attack on our embassy in Tehran Iran that ushered in a new age of Shiite terror, the media was quick to label it 'Trump's Benghazi.' The parallels are certainly there.
 
In both Benghazi and Baghdad, Islamist terror militias who we thought were our allies turned on the United States. In both cases, there was nothing surprising or unexpected about this inevitable development to anyone except foreign policy experts and the media. Obama had helped birth the Islamic State by backing Iran's takeover of Iraq. Forced to fight ISIS, he doubled down on the same strategy. And that completed the takeover.
 
 
And, in both Benghazi and Baghdad, the Obama administration's policy of cultivating Islamic terrorists had come home to roost. The current Islamists who attacked the US embassy in Baghdad were not Trump's allies, but Obama's allies. When in 2011 the head of Badr Brigade of Iraq visited the White House … it was Obama’s not Trump’s. The close IRGC ally was welcomed by Obama, and played a role in the current embassy attack. Trump listed the IRGC, Iran's global terror hub as a terror group - Obama resisted it dating back to his time in the Senate [2005-08].
 
Once in the White House, Obama's policies so empowered and enabled the IRGC that in one of the most infamous incidents in American history, members of the Islamic terror group captured and humiliated American sailors. There is little doubt that the IRGC was the hidden hand behind the embassy attack in Baghdad through its PMF proxies.
 
The rise of ISIS and the attack on our embassy in Baghdad had their roots in Obama's backing for Iraq's Shiite dominated government. [..] Obama wanted to pull out of Iraq as soon as possible. His plan for a quick pullout was to allow Iran a free hand in Baghdad. The Sunni Islam tribal leaders who had made the 'awakening' against Al Qaeda possible were ignored by Obama when they came to D.C. seeking support against Iran.
 
While the media went on touting Obama's incredible successes in Iraq, the country split into two terror camps. While the Popular Mobilization Forces rolled up Shiite areas, Al Qaeda in Iraq reinvented itself as ISIS.
 
Unlike President Trump, Obama chose not to hit ISIS hard. Instead, after Iraq's military collapsed, his administration's anti-ISIS strategy relied heavily on supporting the Shiite PMF militias which included embedded Iranian forces.
 
Iran's takeover of Iraq, like its involvement in Yemen's civil war, in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza [in Israel] were funded by the wages of Obama's nuclear sellout. The billions that Obama directly and indirectly handed to the terrorists of Tehran were used to fund soft and hard influence across the region.
 
The Iran deal didn't just mean that the terror regime was able to continue building up its nuclear program, but that it could increase its financial commitments to the Islamic terror group Hamas [in Gaza], help build up Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and the PMFs in Iraq. [..]
  

In Dec 2011 Obama hosted known Islamic terrorists in the White house - in above photo Obama's sitting alongside Iraq's then-Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Hadi al Amiri, who led a pro-Iran siege on the US embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, 12/31/19 stands behind the sofa wearing a blue tie as part of Maliki's delegation  ... here
***

Under Obama, billions in foreign currency were illegally flown into Iran on unmarked cargo planes, then Pres Trump cut off the cash.
 
The cash crunch not only weakened Iran's regime, where fresh protests arose, but its terror networks, including in Iraq, began facing their own cash shortages. And so Iran's rulers, their IRGC hidden hand, and their Islamist PMF proxies decided to send America and the protesters a message. [..]
 
Who helped build up the Islamic terrorist infrastructure? The Obama administration did. Beyond the cash shipments to Iran and the sanctions relief, the PMFs benefited from US foreign aid directed through Iraq's Interior Ministry. Even as Iraq's Interior Ministry was headed by a Badr leader trained by Iranian forces who had been arrested for smuggling explosives used to attack American soldiers, US foreign aid kept flowing through an Iraqi ministry run by terrorists.

BREAKING: Trump blames Iran, calls on Iraq to protect US embassy after Baghdad attack
12-31-19, Baghdad Iraq gunfire reported after Iraqi Shiite [Irainian] militia supporters storm compound and started fires. US President Donald Trump sending additional military support to the U.S. embassy. Shiite militiamen and their supporters broke into the US embassy 100 acre compound smashing a main door and setting fire to a reception area. American guards fired tear gas at protesters while columns of smoke rose over the embassy grounds. A reporter at the scene saw flames rising from inside the compound and at least three U.S. soldiers on the roof of the main embassy building. 

Pres Trump blamed Iran for the embassy breach and called on Iraq to protect the diplomatic mission.  He said in a tweet: “Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. We strongly responded, and always will. Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified!” 

A U.S. defense official told Fox News 100 Marines are being sent to the embassy to bolster security. A U.S. Apache helicopter gunship also flew over the embassy and dropped flares in a “show of force,” attempting to disperse the crowd. A US spokesperson said: “As the president said, Iran is orchestrating this attack, and they will be held fully responsible. It will be the president’s choice how and when we respond to their escalation.”

HISTORY OF US BAGHDAD EMBASSY OPENED IN 2009 GW BUSH & OBAMA SPENT $850 MILLION ON 100 ACRE COMPOUND
In 2003 under Republican President George W. Bush the United States invaded Iraq and overthrew the government of Saddam Hussein. The U.S. then established diplomatic relations with the new Iraqi government. The old U.S. embassy was deemed unsafe for American diplomats and remained deserted so a temporary embassy was established in the Republican Palace.[10] Then on 100 acres in 2005 construction began on the decadent Baghdad US 'palace.' The completion target date was September 2007. Pres Bush sent Congress an FY2005 emergency funding request for the embassy in Iraq. In 2013 Business Insider reported that the cost of the embassy had surpassed $750 million.[14] The embassy formally opened behind schedule in January 2009 with a staff of over 16,000 people. In 2012 Obama requested more than $100 million for a "massive" upgrade to the compound.[15] ​ As of 2006, construction was being led by First Kuwaiti Trading & Contracting. [18] [Didn't even give the job to American contractors??] The embassy features extensive housing and infrastructure facilities in addition to diplomatic buildings as follows[11]. Source Wikipedia

• Six apartment buildings for employees
• Water and waste treatment facilities
• A power station
• Two "major diplomatic office buildings"
• Recreation, including a gym, cinema, several tennis courts and an Olympic-size interior swimming pool as well as one outside

The complex is heavily fortified... including deep security perimeters, buildings reinforced beyond the usual standard, and five highly guarded entrances.

SICK! As Fighters Stormed Baghdad Embassy, Democrats Blamed Trump for Iran Militia Attack, Some Cheered for Benghazi Replay 
12-31-19, A leading Never-Trumper attacked President Trump even as Iranian backed militias were storming the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, with several blaming Trump–not Iran–for the attack while others cheered for a Benghazi replay. It was so bad that a Hillary Clinton State Department/Obama NSC alum called on one Democrat group to delete a Benghazi tweet about the Baghdad attack.

Liberal Pundits Are Calling US Embassy Protests In Iraq 'Benghazi II"  
On Sunday, 12/30/19 approximately 25 Islamic terror group Hezbollah fighters died when the US bombed bases associated with the Kataib Hezbollah militia in western Iraq and eastern Syria. The current protests outside the US Embassy in Iraq apparently are in response to the US action against Hezbollah and orchestrated by Islamic 'Shiite' [Iranian] Protesters who managed to break through the main gate of the embassy.

Reported Draft of US Peace deal of Israel: "New Palestine"
12-17-19, Presstv.com -- A Lebanese TV network has published what it reported to be a draft of US President Donald Trump’s controversial deal on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which envisages the establishment of a “New Palestine,” with occupied Jerusalem al-Quds remaining under mostly Israeli control and Saudi Arabia replacing Jordan as custodian of Al-Aqsa Mosques. Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud says the Muslims/Arabs aka "Palestinians" in Israel should accept peace deal or 'shut up!' Reportedly, if:

1. Israel rejects the deal, the US will end economic support for the regime.
2. The Islamic terror group ruling Gaza "Hamas" and the PLO oppose the agreement, Washington will end all financial support it provides to Palestinians and prevent funding provided by other nations.
3. The PLO accepts the plan and Hamas or the Islamic Jihad dismiss it, then the two groups would bear the responsibility of their decision.
4. Any military confrontation between Israel and Hamas, the US will still support Israel.

It is widely believed that the US plan is biased towards Israel and has already been unanimously rejected by all Palestinian factions. Although, in June 2019 the US unveiled the very generous economic portion of its initiative during a conference in Bahrain; it was boycotted by the Palestinians who in 2017 stopped recognizing the US as a mediator. More here

May 19, 2011,  JoelcRosenberg in Epicenter -  President Obama [2011] made an enormous mistake by calling for the Land of Israel to be divided and Jerusalem to be divided along pre-1967 borders. This is in direct defiance of the Bible and it won’t work -- it will bring judgment to the U.S., according to Joel 3:2.

• • Obama’s vision for Mideast peace: Israel, Palestine based on 1967 borders with land swaps
  • Netanyahu says ‘No’ to 1967 borders

(Jerusalem, Israel) — Three major themes emerged from the messsages delivered at the 2011 Epicenter Conference:

1. “The Day of the Lord is coming; surely it is near” — “Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound and alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the Day of the Lord is coming; surely it is near.” (Joel 2:1) 
2. “Return to Me,” says the Lord — “‘Yet even now,’ declares the Lord, ‘return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping and mourning; and rend your heart and not your garments.’ Now return to the Lord your God for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness and relenting of evil.” (Joel 2:12-13).
3. Do not divide the Land of Israel — In my message about the final chapter of the Book of Joel, I explained the warning to the nations that the Lord gives. I focused in particular on Joel 3:2 (which is 4:2 in the Hebrew Bible) in which the Lord says, “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land.” The Bible is very clear: the Lord is going to judge all the nations for dividing up the Land of Israel. Let the United Nations and the United States and the European Union and the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli government itself be warned. More here

  2 Corinthians 4:4; Joel 2:28, Acts 2:15-17; 1 Peter 1:20; James 5:3; Hebrews 1:2
 
12-5-19, * --  US NEWS magazine for the second consecutive year has ranked the Jewish state of Israel the 8th most powerful nation in the world.   Amazing that such a small nation, with only 9.2 million people, that has been in a state of war since its birth only 72 years ago in 1948; to be so named. [Clearly supernatural blessing from God!] 

​Israel is still in a very uncertain political deadlock. Next week, we should know if and when there’ll be a third election this year. The indictment documents against Prime Minister Netanyahu were submitted to the speaker of the Knesset parliament and from what we know; it’ll be a very long trial with hundreds of witnesses.
 
The UN and EU are displaying a new level of hypocrisy against Israel this week. The annual UN resolution against Israel passed again although gaining unexpected defense from 13 nations. Five anti-Israel resolutions passed in the General Assembly in a full-day session connected to the United Nations’ “Palestine Day,” held on Nov. 29, 2019. ​However, they cannot discern difference between good and evil as no condemnation to the terror states of Iran and Lebanon: ​ [2 Corinthians 4:4; Isaiah 5:20]

• In Iran: The current political unrest has seen the  regime:
  • Massacred over 450 people in Iran and many more in Iraq
  • Injured more than 2,000 in Iran and many more in Iraq
  • Detained at least 7,000 in Iran and many more in Iraq
    • What was the response from the UN Human Rights Council?
      • ZERO emergency sessions
      • ZERO condemnations
      • ZERO fact-finding missions

• The more shocking thing is that six European nations say they will join a fledgling financial system to bypass U.S. sanctions against Iran, challenging U.S. President Donald Trump days before he meets with NATO leaders in London.
• In a joint statement Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden said they are in the process of becoming shareholders of the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX). Britain, France, and Germany launched INSTEX in January to enable companies to trade with Iran without using U.S. dollars or going through U.S. banks, thereby shielding such companies from U.S. sanctions.  

In Lebanon: according to a report by Foreign Policy, there is widespread economic discontent and anger and with Islamic terror group, Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah defending the government.
 
In Turkey: On November 27, 2019, according to the Middle Eastern News Agency Al-Monitor, “Turkey signed an agreement with Libya’s internationally recognized government denoting new maritime boundaries between the two nations. The area spanning from southwest Turkey to northeast Libya cuts across a zone currently claimed by Greece and Cyprus, where plans for a future gas pipeline are in the works to link eastern Mediterranean gas fields with European markets...”

There’s no doubt that gas & oil of Israel’s region will become the reason for the upcoming regional war described in Ezekiel 38:5, 13 39:1-2. [And it'll not be Russia. More here ]

Clearly we are living in the last hour of the last days [Matthew 24:3; 2 Timothy 3:1; Daniel 8:​19] and as believers, we must remember our calling as watchmen on the walls [Ezekiel 33:2-3, 4-6] and workers who are doing the Father’s business until the Lord comes to take us to be with Him.

11-20-19, * -- Sweden is reeling from a wave of killing by car/truck, shootings and bombings with 268 shootings so far just this year, 2019. And that's in a country of 10 million people which has crime numbers on par with some American cities. These shootings aren't being carried out with handguns, but with AK-47 rifles. The weapon featured in everyday gun violence that's a staple of Sweden’s gang war scene. Along with hand grenades and other explosives rarely seen in America. The weapon flow into Sweden & Denmark are coming from Morocco, Turkey, Pakistan, Jordan and Somalia. Police have asked gang members to turn in their grenades ... worked as well as expected. It didn't.

There have been 187 bomb attacks this year. In just 1 week in August, there were three major bombings. Much of the violence is concentrated in [Muslim onclave] Malmo which experienced 58 bombings in 2017.

Swedish authorities and its media rarely discuss or name the perpetrators. A recent shooting left Jaffar Ibrahim, a 15-year-old boy, dead; shot in a Malmo pizzeria. The shooting attack was preceded by a car bombing which was used as a diversion. Nine out of 10 shooters are foreign immigrants or the children of foreign migrants. However, Muslim gang violence in Sweden isn’t just its problem anymore; also in:

• Copenhagen with explosions outside a police station and a tax office over the summer. The targets were political and the bombs weren’t fireworks or hand grenades, but commercial explosives used for demolitions. The suspects turned out to be criminals who had entered from Sweden. Denmark has reacted to the terror traffic from Sweden by imposing border controls on bridge crossings.

Europe’s open infrastructure, its rejection of national and regional borders, has worsened the problem. From the mass flow of migrants from Muslim countries to the ease with which Muslim gang members move between European countries, the lack of border security has made the conquest of Europe easy.

Government [Sociaist] agencies suggest a comforting message that the solution to Islamic violence is social welfare. Their answer to everything. It's been tried but Muslim migrants are so deep in the social welfare system that they often never leave it. The gang members and ISIS terrorists are the welfare system’s children. 

While the same old lies keep being told, the bombs keep going off, the bullets keep flying and AK-47 fire is heard in broad daylight; the Islamic terrorists are protected while they kill law abiding citizens. In the USA presidential hopeful Socialist Bernie Sanders would like America to be more like Sweden ; causing taxes to fund social welfare programs for killers. *Excerpted and adapted full original report from Daniel Greenfield here

President Trump was right about Sweden
In 2017 President Trump was right about Sweden. Sweden is the tip of the Spear in the multicultural attack on Western nations. On Jan 3, 2017 Vice Prime Min Mona Sahlin of Sweden said, “I think it is that which makes many Swedes so envious of immigrant groups. They have a culture, an identity, a history, something that binds them. And what do we have? We have Midsummer Eve and such silly things.”
This sort of insanity is rampant on the Left. They view thousands of years of Nordic culture as irrelevant and manufactured on the back of white privilege. They don’t allow their rich history to bind them with their countrymen because to do so would be a racist declaration of self-determination. In defiance of this fabricated “racism” they instead make excuses for foreign ideology and culture. Recently a court ruled that it was legal to fly an ISIS flag which should come as no surprise after their expert on Islamophobia left the country to join ISIS.

Many dispute that America is even in the Bible; but we can see - before our very eyes - how she is much involved with end time prophecy as follows:

After Twenty-Five Years Jordan Cancels Lease Agreement for Israel
11-11-19, JewishJournal -- Bending to domestic pressure, including a protest on Oct. 19, 2018 that saw Jordanians take to the streets of Amman, Jordan’s King Abdullah II announced the end of a special arrangement that allowed Israel to lease two parcels of land inside the Jordanian kingdom along the southern border with Israel. The two enclaves al-Baqoura and al-Immor also known as the “Island of Peace” were part of the 1994 Wadi Araba agreement between the two countries. Israel's farmers will be permitted to harvest their wheat and other crops on the land. However, the gates have been padlocked so in the future, Israelis will need visas to enter.

​Why Did Israel Kill Baha Abu Al-Ata? Same Reason the USA killed alBagdadi!
11-12-19, YeshivaWorld -- The terrorist leader of 'Islamic Jihad' Baha Abu al-Ata was funded by Iran, and was behind several attacks on Israel this year.  
The Israeli military said: “We just targeted Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza, Baha Abu Al Atta.” It struck a Gaza City house, targeting the commander of the Islamic Jihad group in a resumption of pinpointed killing. The airstrike damaged the half of the second and most of the third floors of a house in the Shejaeya neighborhood east of the city. More here from Ynet News

​Gaza Arabs [Mjslims] aka Palestinians
In 2005, Israel withdrew and forcibly removed its 9,000 Jewish citizens from Gaza. A group of Jewish American donors came together to ensure that the famed Israeli greenhouses that produced $200 million of produce per year would not go to waste.
The greenhouses were purchased for $14 million – much of it provided by the Gates Foundation - and turned over to Gaza Arabs. But within hours of the withdrawal, many of the buildings had been damaged beyond repair. Terrorists and looters stripped them of their piping and electronic equipment and tore down their walls.

11-4-19, * -- NATO member and Turkey’s President Erdogan has repeatedly attacked the Kurds in Syria, who — whatever reservations some may have about them – have been US allies against ISIS. Clearly Turkey has not. A short list of Erdogan’s unfriendly behaviors:

• He has carried on a campaign of vilification against the United States for refusing to hand over Fethulleh Gulen to Erdogan’s “justice.”
• He has discharged tens of thousands of people – judges, lawyers, professors, civil servants, military officers – whom he wildly accused of being part of the failed coup in July 2016.
• Turkey continues to jail more journalists than any other country on earth.
• Erdogan has bought Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile defense system, which U.S. and NATO officials fear would lead to security breaches (for the Russians could test how the S-400 performed against NATO missiles supplied by Turkey, and tweak their defense system accordingly).
• He kept the American pastor Andrew Brunson imprisoned for two years, after a Turkish court absurdly convicted the pastor of the Izmir Resurrection Church, a tiny congregation with 25 members — and gave him a 20-year prison sentence on assorted trumped-up charges, including that of being a C.I.A. spy and a member of the Kurdish “terrorist” group, the PKK, and worst of all, of being a “Gulenist” operative. Brunson was finally freed, most begrudgingly, and only after terrific American economic pressure (threats of more boycotts and tariffs) on Ankara. Erdogan’s plan was apparently to trade Brunson for Gulen; the Americans would have none of it.
• Erdogan has called the Germans “Nazis” for refusing to allow his men to campaign for votes from Turks living in Germany.
• When Austria shut down some Turkish-funded mosques, this led him to predict a coming war “between the crescent and the cross,” leaving no doubt as to which side Turkey would be on.
• Called for a gigantic pan-Islamic force to be created that could make war on, and presumably destroy, Israel. In Erdogan’s view, all 57 members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation [O.I.C.] would contribute, with Turkey taking the leading role. The plan was put forth in an article published by Erdogan’s most loyal mouthpiece, the newspaper Yeni Safak. The very detailed article included this:
  • What If An Army Of Islam Was Formed Against Israel? If the OIC member states unite and form a joint military force, it will be the largest army in the world. These countries’ total population is 1,674,526,931. The number of soldiers in active service in these countries is at least 5,206,100. Their [overall] military defense budget, of $174,728,420,000 is also worthy of emphasis.

As for Israel, it is significantly inferior; population is 8,049,314. Population of the city of Istanbul alone exceeds 14 million. The number of soldiers in active service in the [Israeli] occupation forces is 160,000, and [Israel’s] defense budget is approximately $15,600,000,000.

There is overwhelming superiority of the 57 Muslim states [coalition?] to Israel in their populations, in the numbers of their soldiers, in their defense budgets, and in their combined weaponry. Among the decisions that can be taken at the OIC [summit] is to form a ‘Jerusalem Task Group.’ If an Islamic army is formed, Israel will be under a siege involving 250,000 soldiers, and the establishment of joint land, air and naval bases for use in the short term. This task force would include: 500 tanks and armored vehicles, 100 war planes, 500 attack helicopters and 50 warships and submarines can be mobilized. When this was published not a peep of objection from other NATO members – clearly stated Islam coalition intends to destroy the Jewish State of Israel.
​
Yet Turkey remains a member of NATO, in apparent good standing. Of what conceivable benefit, militarily, is Turkish membership in NATO to its other members?

• In 2003 Turkey prevented the Americans from using the Incirlik air base to invade Iraq from the north
• In 2010 Erdogan claimed that Israel is “the principal threat to peace” in the Middle East. Not al-Qaeda, not the Islamic State, not Hezbollah, not Hamas, not Islamic Jihad, not the Muslim Brotherhood, but Israel, that has been fighting only defensive wars imposed on it by Arab states and terrorist groups ever since 1948.

• In 2016 Incrilik was locked down and power cut by Turkey during the coup attempt
• Turkey threatens to “kick out the American troops from two critical military bases in Incirlik and Malatya.” The Turkish journalist Burak Bekdil notes that “The US nuclear warheads at Incirlik have remained at the disposition of the US military under a special US-Turkish treaty. The early warning radars stationed at the Malatya base, which are linked to the US Aegis system (deployed in the Mediterranean), provide a shield for Israel against any air or missile attack.” But that is all the more reason for Erdogan to want to close down the Malatya base, and shut off those radars.
• How likely is it that Turkey would allow its airspace or bases on its soil to be used by NATO forces should there be action against Iran or contribute troops to a coalition of NATO military forces?
• President Erdogan and his senior officials have repeatedly threatened Europe that unless it does Turkey’s bidding – and stops criticizing its policies (including sending troops into Syrian Kurdish areas), “We will open the gates and send 3.6 million refugees your way.”
• Turkey has never been interested in fighting ISIS. It was no secret that Turkey allowed ISIS fighters to cross freely into Syria from Turkey, no doubt because it preferred ISIS to the Syrian Kurds ISIS was fighting. And Turkey allowed wounded ISIS members to be treated at Turkish hospitals and then, instead of detaining them, let them return to the Islamic State.

And now we come to the killing of ISIS leader Al-Baghdadi. President Trump thanked Turkey for its assistance; it came second on his list, just after Russia, and the Kurds came last. But Turkey — like Russia — did nothing to help the Americans. One report said, lamely, that possibly Turkey’s contribution may have been to let the Americans fly over its territory. But if one looks at the flight plan of the planes coming from a base near Erbil, Iraq, they at no point flew over Turkish air space. There seems to have been absolutely no contribution by Turkey to the locating and killing of Al-Baghdadi. In fact, as Brett McGurk, who had been the Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL, Turkey has “a lot of explaining to do.” How is it that Baghdadi managed to hide out just a few kilometers from the Turkish border, an area bristling with Turkish military outposts and troops? It strains credulity to believe that the Turks did not know where Al-Baghdadi was. It was the Syrian Kurds, Turkey’s enemies, who tracked Al-Baghdadi for months to his final lair. They ought to have been thanked first, not last, by President Trump. And Turkey need not have been thanked at all.
As the veteran Middle East correspondent Trudy Rubin has noted:

Baghdadi was found, not in ISIS’s traditional area of eastern Turkey, but far away in western Syria, near the Turkish border and Turkish military outposts. This suggests that Turkish military intelligence knew Baghdadi’s location and didn’t share it.
Shouldn’t all this matter?

Jew-Hatred Exposed at University of Minnesota
10-31-19, FrontPage.com -- In a stealth campaign to reach students directly, the David Horowitz Freedom Center today distributed 2000 newspapers containing its new report on the “Top Ten Colleges that Promote Jew Hatred and Incite Terrorism” as well as posters condemning the Hamas-funded BDS [boycott Israel] movement on the University of Minnesota campus. The newspaper distribution coincides with the national 'Students [Muslims] for Justice in Palestine' [SJP] [Israel] conference, a highly controversial event, which will take place this weekend [11/2/19] at the University of Minnesota; it's Titled “From Campus to Congress: Allied with Terror,” the report documents the malignant spread of terrorism and Jew hatred in our nation’s academic institutions.

David Horowitz said, “For nearly two decades, SJP has promoted Hamas lies and propaganda in order to establish a beachhead of support for anti-Israel terrorists on American campuses, resulting in a dramatic rise in anti-Semitic incidents and the harassment of Jewish students. American universities like the University of Minnesota allow these terrorist allies to use their authority and prestige to lend this genocidal offensive an aura of respectability. Our campaign intends to expose SJP and other supporters of BDS as fronts for Hamas [Islamic terror group in Israel] and to press universities to cease their funding and support of these organizations.”

National SJP conference hosted at University Minnesota faces backlash
10-21-19, MnDaily.com -- National Students Justice Palestine [SJP] conference hosted at UMN faces backlash from pro-Israel groups that launched campaigns calling on University administration to condemn or cancel the conference that will be held in November 2, 2019.

The Palestinian Authority [Muslims in Israel] openly pays salaries to every Islamic terrorist who murdered Jews as an act of jihad [Islamic war]. 
In newly released documents, the Palestinian Authority admits that in the first 5 months of 2019, it paid over $65 million in salaries to those terrorists. In calendar year 2018, the Trump Administration has significantly cut funding for the Israeli killing Muslims including $231.532 million economic assistance and $424.3 million to UNRWA.

EU pledges €42.5 million in aid for Muslims [aka Palestinians] in Israel
The aid comes after the US decision to withhold millions in funding from the UN agency that supports Muslims in Israel who overtly proclaim hatred and ill intentions toward Jews in the Jewish State of Israel. The European Union supports "Palestinians" although the Muslims refuse to talk peace with Israel. Since the USA halted aid; Germany funding for Palestinians along with 11 other nations delivering their funds early. 

​Merkel meets Muslim Leader of 'Palestinians’ Mahmoud Abbas in Berlin 
8-29-19, APNEWS.com -- Merkel stressed her support for a two-state solution ahead of talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the Chancellery in Berlin. “We appreciate Chancellor Merkel’s efforts to create multilateral cooperation aside from unilateral solutions to create stability and peace in the world.”

Hitler Redux: Germany's Merkel is now biggest bilateral supporter of Muslims in Israel ...
​August 29, 2019, GellerReport -- Germany's Chancelor Angela Merkel now biggest supporter of Jew haters in Israel the Muslims called "Palestinians." In the past several years agencies in Germany have come under intense scrutiny in Israel for providing funding to Palestinian organisations linked to terror, anti-Semitism, and other forms of hate and extremism. Throughout her years as Chancellor, Angela Merkel gave the Palestinian Authority more than half a billion dollars, not including foreign aid to UNRWA.

​10-27-19, JihadWatch.com -- Recently at a press conference Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel said: “We are now the largest bilateral donors in the Palestinian territories.” According to Germany’s Bild news, the federal government announced that in 2018 about 166.2 million euros flowed to the Palestinians. In addition, Germany transferred about 173.2 million euros to UNRWA, a UN agency for Palestinian Muslims. More here

Somali Clan Gangs Claim Minneapolis Territory And Kill
10-25-19, LauraLoomer.us -- The Somali gang problem is incredible and the leadership in Minneapolis and Minnesota in general is allowing it to grow and fester. When people come to the United States as refugees it is because they seek to escape from a nation that considers such acts normal to one that denounces them and offers safety, however they are turning America into the same violent hell hole they left ...

Importing both sides of Middle East gang wars into OUR communities
​10-24-19, Daniel Horowitz -- America has been importing both sides of pre-existing gang wars from half way around the world from the Middle Eastern nations in Africa and Somalia. All those who are promoting mass migration and refugee resettlement from every war-torn Middle Eastern country don’t want you to study what has already happened in Europe with their mass migration of Muslims who are mostly military aged men. Imagine building a beautiful community somewhere in the suburbs of an American city and then having a handful of neighbors use your homeowner’s association dues to bring in scores of violent gang members "Bloods and Crips" in from downtown. Well, on the national and international levels, that is what the elites have done to taxpayers by bringing in so many security problems from the Middle East without the input of local communities.

Not only do Kurds in Syria constitute a minority there, they didn't have an area under their control that was contiguous to each other. There are Arabs between the cities of Afrin and Qamishli, which were under Kurdish control until the Turkish invasion. Similarly, between Kobane and Qamishli are Arabs. The truth is the majority of the population in northern Syria is not Kurdish; the region is not “Kurdistan” at all - it is Syria.

• 90 percent of Ras al-Ayn is Arab - Kurds invaded Ras al-Ayn an ancient Assyrian town named Rish Ayno; but the YPG-led Kurds today call it “Sere Kaniye.” So even when Kurds did not establish a legally-recognized government in Syria, they started Kurdifying the names of the towns. This shows how much they disrespect and degrade the ancient heritage of northern Syria.
• 70 percent of Tell Abyad is also Arab
• And 95 percent of Raqqa is Arab

So Kurds have occupied Arab land in Syria and call it “Kurdistan;” that’s why, most residents in those cities in Syria do not support the Kurdish rule there.
 
Another falsehood spread by the PKK and much of the mainstream media is that “Kurds have defeated ISIS.” The truth is that the biggest role in the defeat of ISIS was played by the Iraqi government, the Syrian government and the people’s armed initiatives that support these governments. The Syrian government actually defeated ISIS in vast areas such as Aleppo, Hums, across the Jordanian border, Daraa, Quneitra, Sadad, Al-Qaryatayn, the city of Deir ez-Zor, Eastern Ghouta, Maloula, al-Qusayr, the region of Qalamun and Palmyra among others.

The media‘s only focus’ was on the liberation of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor, where the Kurdish YPG fought against ISIS claiming they defeated ISIS. However, by the same logic - because the Turkish military and its Islamist allies removed ISIS from the Syrian cities of Al-Bab, Azaz and Jarabulus - why not say the Turkish military defeated ISIS? Of course they didn't as, for many years, Turkey is known to have aided and abetted ISIS, al-Qaeda and other radical Islamic terrorists.
 
Most Assyrians in Syria do not want the oppressive PYD Kurdish rule there. The Kurds seized their lands or properties and persecuted them - examples follow:

• On August 28, 2018 militiamen belonging to the Kurdish PYD entered private Assyrian schools in Qamishli and expelled all administrators and teachers. Here
• On September 3, 2018, Kurdish PYD went to the house of Nidal Rahawi, an Assyrian artist in the city of Qamishi to kill him because he was critical of the PYD regime - he escaped. Here
• On September 30, 2018, the Kurdish PYD arrested prominent Assyrian journalist and Qamishli resident Souleman Yusph. His possessions, including his laptop and various documents, were seized by the Kurdish authorities. Here
• During the Turkish invasion of Syria in 2016 , Kurdish YPG members in civilian clothes threw mortars from a park in Qamishli to Nusaybin, a town in southeast Turkey, which killed Kurdish civilians there. Apparently, their aim was to provoke the Turkish army to attack Qamishli and other Syrian towns that have sizeable Christian communities and kill Christians there to make the world condemn and attack Turkey. Here
• The YPG attacked Nusaybin from a place near the Mor Circis Church in Qamishli, to which Turks responded, and as a result, Christian Assyrian man, Fadi Habsuno, and his wife, Juliette Issa Nicholas, got injured and hospitalized. Clarion more here​

Isaiah 18:1-2; Ezekiel 30:11-13

A Lament for Egypt: "He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain. God said: "I will make the streams dry up and sell the land to the wicked. By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it. I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land."
"The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty." Isaiah 19:5
Ezekiel 30:11-13 Berean Study Bible 

10-23-19, BreakingIsraelNews -- Early in October 2019 talks between Egypt and Ethiopia broke down over Ethiopia’s seventy percent complete massive upstream ‘Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.’  The project is expected to supply it’s 100 million citizens with hydro-electricity. The only problem is that the dam will block Egypt's key water source to the Nile River a main source of fresh water. The project could drastically reduce the flow of the Blue Nile, the main tributary to the Nile that's fed by annual rainfall in Ethiopia’s highlands. Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah Al-Sissi said, “While we acknowledge Ethiopia’s right to development, the water of the Nile is a question of life, a matter of existence to Egypt.” 
​
Ethiopia has been making efforts to resolve the issue of the Nile with countries like Ethiopia and Sudan who complain that Cairo enjoys more than their fair share of the world’s longest river. To their credit, Egypt has sought international mediation in an effort to resolve the matter reaching out to countries such as the United States, Russia and China. However, the packages offered by Cairo so far “were deliberately prepared to be unacceptable for Ethiopia,” said one Ethopian official. 
Meanwhile, Egyptian journalists are going as far as to call for a war against Ethiopia. Anwar el-Hawary, former editor of the Al-Masry Al-Youm new outlet, in a Facebook comment compared the dispute to the 1973 Yom Kippur War against Israel, whenEgypt waged a surprise attack into the Sinai Peninsula. “If we fought to liberate Sinai, it is logical to fight to liberate the water. The danger is the same in the two cases.” [Egypt lost that war.] More here and here

"Shall not the land tremble on this account, and everyone mourn who dwells in it, and all of it rise like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?” Amos 8:8

10-21-19, Canada Free Press -- The Islamic Kurds were fighting Islamic Turkey, Islamic Syria, Islamic Iraq and Islamic Iran long before American Christian President Donald Trump was even born. And The Donald has been on the public scene for a while; but he was not yet born when this war was raging as it's decades old. 
​
However, in typical dishonesty, the leftist liberal Trump hating news media and the Democrat/Republican establishment is (as always) blaming President Trump for problems that the Democrat establishment actually created [2011 Obama's Arab Spring or they failed to solve even before Trump announced his candidacy in June 2015.

President Trump pulled approximately 28 US special forces out from near the Syrian border with Turkey.  Pres Trump did not explain any of this; public relations matters.  This still hasn't been fully explained and is a blunder.  However, for critics to argue that moving 28 soldiers caused a war is just delusional. [..snip]

So America’s political world is stirred by the cry that the Kurds were our allies in the war against ISIS.  That’s confusion.  Turkey is also our ally….  and by binding treaty who also has an American military base with nukes. Turkey became a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1952.  The United States is legally obligated by treaty to fight on the side of Turkey.  Thinking people may have serious doubts about the wisdom of having a Muslim Brotherhood hot bed in NATO.  But it is a reality.  There is no U.S. treaty with the Kurds. [..snip]

Maybe the Kurds should have their own country.  They would probably be better friends to the USA than the alternatives.  However, the Kurds were in a war of territorial conquest; their motto "We have no friends but the mountains.”  Perhaps that's because they have been attacking their neighbors for almost 1,000 years.   
Whatever is this weeks’ leftist attack on the current conservative target ask yourself:  “Wasn’t that already a problem long before (fill the name in here) became a threat to the swamp [leftist Dems]?”   Blaming reformers for the sins of others that they are working hard to fix is a favorite dishonest tactic of the establishment.  More here

10-16-19, * -- While many pundits have gone hysterical over President Trump’s Syrian pullout, President Trump really had no choice but to employ his own “Samson Option,” one in which he knocked over everyone’s toys and theories. [Judges 16:28-30]

1. President Trump isn’t “gifting” Putin a “Christmas present,” but rather is hanging a deadly Syrian Albatross on Putin’s neck.  Putin is now hopelessly up a Syrian creek without a paddle. Without American forces east of the Euphrates and American dollars helping Syrian reconstruction, Putin faces an Iranian victory in Syria, and a Russian loss.  In fact, Russian rapprochement with Israel is a direct result of American withdrawal.  Now, Russia has only Israel to help keep Iran’s gobbling up of Syria in check.  If Putin looks to Turkey to check Iran, the unacceptably high payment will be Turkish ownership of Northern Syria.
2. President Trump told all the the Arabs in Iraq and Saudi Arabia: Either fight Iran yourselves and pay for the fight yourselves, or bow as slaves to your new Persian masters.  America can’t afford either the money or the blood to fight the Arab war of liberation against the Persian colonialist Iran.  The training wheels are off.  America will help at the edges, but the fight has to be an Arab fight.
3. President Trump’s message to the Pentagon is: You can spend hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars in a year fighting and dying in foreign wars, but you can’t afford to or are legally barred from physically defending the American border, or pay for a defensive wall to slow the migrant invasions?  Charity and defense begins at home.  If America’s home base isn’t secure, nothing is secure. To make matters worse, the Pentagon just “missed” an “accounting error” consisting of spending 331 million dollars paying for Saudi refueling over Yemen, but nobody at DOD can find a single penny to pay for the wall?
4. President Trump’s message to the world is: America can’t afford to protect you anymore.  President Trump, the businessman, is looking at the total American budget, the deficit and America’s debt, and concluded: A bankrupt “world policeman,” is a defeated America that can’t defend itself or anyone else.  America’s current military projection is financially unsustainable.  The world had better quickly budget for its own defense.
5. President Trump’s message to Turkey is: You’ve told me ISIS is defeated, America’s allies are terrorists, and you were going to attack American forces in Syria; well, goodbye and good luck.  Trump didn’t believe a word Erdogan said, but Trump believed his intelligence that Turkey, an alleged NATO ally, was scheming with Russia behind America’s back on Syria. Erdogan will now have to deal with the Kurds, Russia, ISIS and Iran all by himself. Have fun.  Without America propping up the Kurds, Turkey might actually realize the truth that the Kurds are Turkey’s greatest natural ally against Iran and ISIS.
6. Israel better realize that relying on a Trump “Peace” deal is a huge mistake. Syria isn’t just Iran’s pathway to Lebanon, but to any "West Bank" Palestinian Arab State.  Israel better quickly solidify its hold of the "West Bank" because the next American President (either sooner or later) will likely be an Israel-hating BDS [boycott] supporting Democrat who will overtly call Israel an Apartheid State. [John Kerry under Obama already called Israel an apartheid state.]

In short, President Trump was faced with a no-win situation, and decided to be a modern-day American Samson, and knock everybody down.

"Samson prayed to the LORD, "Sovereign LORD, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes." Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived." Judges 16:28-30

 9-22-19, President Trump's administration has moved against the wastelands of far-Left indoctrination and Islamic proselytizing that our nation’s colleges and universities have become at University of North Carolina and Duke University. Recently the administration made a long overdue step threatening to cut funding for a Middle East studies program run by the University of North Carolina and Duke University, claiming that they're misusing a federal grant to advance ‘ideological priorities’ and unfairly promote ‘the positive aspects of Islam’ but not Christianity or Judaism.” 

The U.S. Dept of Education wrote to the UNC-Duke Consortium for Middle East Studies, advising them they had three weeks to revise their course offerings or else they could lose federal funds that were intended for instruction in foreign languages.

History Professor at UNC, Jay Smith said: "I took a UNC/Duke graduate course on Islam back in 1985, when I was a graduate student at Chapel Hill. Even that many years ago, the violent aspects of Islamic doctrine were downplayed and whitewashed. There is no doubt whatsoever that in the intervening years, the impulse to absolve Islam of all responsibility for the crimes committed in its name and in accord with its teachings has only intensified."
