A Last-Ditch Effort to Save the Iran Deal

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Assessment: The eighth round of nuclear talks kicks off this week in Vienna, with U.S. officials saying Iran has only weeks to play ball …

U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration opened big-power talks this week in Vienna to determine whether steady advances to Tehran’s nuclear program render the landmark Iran nuclear deal “a corpse that cannot be revived,” as one senior U.S. official recently put it to reporters, or if there’s still a chance to salvage the accord.

The United States has cast the eighth and latest round of negotiations as a last chance for achieving a diplomatic settlement of its nuclear dispute with Iran. U.S. officials warn that the window for reviving the 2015 nuclear pact—known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—is nearly shut. Iran has weeks, not months, to strike a deal or curtail its nuclear activities to avoid facing the prospect of stepped-up coercive measures, from additional sanctions to the threat of military action, a senior U.S. official told Foreign Policy.

“Either we reach a deal quickly or they slow down their program,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity given the negotiations’ confidential nature. “If they do neither, [it’s] hard to see how [the] JCPOA survives past that period.”

“We’ve seen modest steps in recent weeks, but the Iranians are not working at a pace required to get a breakthrough in the coming weeks,” the U.S. official added.

‘Bidenflation’ Is Systematically Destroying The Middle Class

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Assessment: “If you want to know what the best investment you probably had in 2021, it’s that car sitting in your driveway or in that garage …

Personally, I don’t like to use the term “Bidenflation” too much, because it is not entirely accurate.  Without a doubt, the Biden administration has taken actions over and over again that have made the inflation crisis even worse.  But it isn’t as if Joe Biden and his minions are the only ones responsible for this mess.

The creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 started us down the road that we are on today.  Of course we could have exited this path at any time if U.S. voters had sent politicians to Washington that were committed to abolishing the Federal Reserve, but they didn’t do that.

“When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.” Rev. 6:5

In 1971, we reached “the beginning of the end” when President Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard.  Today, the value of the U.S. dollar is only a very small fraction of what it was back then.

The U.S. national debt hit a trillion dollars in the early 1980s, and it will hit the 30 trillion dollar mark in 2022.  Our politicians have literally been committing national financial suicide, and both major parties are to blame.

In 2009, the Federal Reserve took the destruction of our currency to an entirely new level when they introduced “quantitative easing”.  It was supposed to just be a “temporary measure”, but of course the Fed just kept doing it.

Over the past couple of years the Federal Reserve has pumped more fresh money into our financial system than ever before, and this has greatly pleased investors.

But it is also turning our currency into a joke.

Earlier today, I read an email from a reader that was quite alarmed that many new car dealers are now charging $5,000 to $10,000 above the sticker price for many of their vehicles.

BBC Third on ‘Most Antisemitic’ List, After Only Iran and Hamas

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Assessment: The number of Jews living in Europe today is just a tenth of what it was just 140 years ago, a new study reveals, as France leads a surge in emigration due to antisemitism …

The BBC was ranked third on a “Global Antisemitism Top Ten” list by a major Jewish group, beaten only by Iran and the Hamas terror group.

The head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Marvin Hier, told the Daily Mail that “people might be surprised to see the BBC on our list, but the decision to place the BBC at No. 3 came after months of intense debate and discussion.”

“Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.” Ez. 38:28 NIV

The BBC was ranked third on a “Global Antisemitism Top Ten” list by a major Jewish group, beaten only by Iran and the Hamas terror group.

“We believe the BBC has been guilty of several antisemitic incidents over the past year,” he said.

“People might think we would designate neo-Nazi groups on our list, but the BBC is there because when a globally recognized organization allows antisemitism to infiltrate its reporting, it makes it all the more insidious and dangerous,” he said.

“People all over the world trust the BBC and rely on it for truthful reporting on world events,” he said.

UK Mulls Door-To-Door Vaccination Squads

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Assessment: The mood in the country is hardening against people who refuse to be vaccinated …

The UK is considering a plan to send door-to-door vaccinations squads to the homes of unvaccinated Britons in an effort to reach an estimated five million people who haven’t taken the jab, according to the Daily Mail.

The initiative has been discussed by the Department of Health, NHS England and No. 10 over the past week as part of a nationwide drive to send vaccine teams into areas which have the lowest vaccination rates – and are floating it as an alternative to lockdowns and other restrictions, as well as a solution to ‘encourage’ vaccination in rural areas or households where people cannot easily travel to a vax center.

“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet … Daniel 7:7

Syrian TV Reports Israeli Missile Attack on Latakia Port

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Assessment: The Syrian opposition claimed that the target of the attack was a weapons shipment intended for pro-Iranian militias. But Assad’s media insists that the attack hit innocent commercial containers …

Syrian television reported Tuesday morning that the Israeli Air Force had attacked the port of Latakia in western Syria, and the Syrian defense responded with anti-aircraft fire.

The videos that were released show explosions and fire in the location that was under attack. A Syrian TV reporter said there was a fire in several containers following the attack and extensive damage to buildings in the area. According to the report, the Syrian army opened anti-aircraft fire in response. Firefighters are working to put out the fire.

A Syrian army source said that “at 3:21 AM, the Israeli enemy carried out an airstrike using rockets from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea (west of the port of Latakia) on the container plaza in the commercial port of Latakia. As a result, fires broke out at the site and extensive damage was caused to property. The forces are still working to put out the fires and assess the results of the aggression.”

“At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through.” Daniel 11:40

‘Iran deal put us on cruise control heading over a cliff,’ former envoy warns

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Assessment: “Without a credible US military threat, no diplomacy will achieve a positive outcome and unfortunately, I don’t see that happening right now,” says former Israeli Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer …

Former Israeli Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer this week defended his government’s positions that encouraged the United States to leave the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, and supported Israel’s current position that the US must leave a military option on the table and signal that Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons.

Speaking on Tuesday in a Zoom seminar held by the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), in conversation with JINSA President and CEO Michael Makovsky, the former envoy said he stands by his previously expressed stance that US withdrawal from the deal (also known as the JCPOA) under the Trump administration was the single-most important decision that any president had made for Israel’s national security.

“Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people’s, and they do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain” Esther 3:8

While that decision didn’t end the Iranian threat, it was a “critical means to an end” because the JCPOA provided a legal framework for Iran to achieve nuclear status once the deal’s provisions ended, rather than block it entirely, he said.

“Because what the deal did is it put restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program for a limited number of years, and those restrictions would be automatically removed,” said Dermer, who served as ambassador from 2013-2021 before joining JINSA as a non-resident distinguished fellow at the JINSA Gemunder Center.

“And contrary to what many people believe, the nuclear deal did not freeze Iran’s program.”

Flashback: Social Credit And The Dark Side Of Blockchain

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Technocrat Jack Dorsey recently resigned from Twitter’s dystopian culture to immerse himself full-time into the bitcoin and blockchain technology world in order to “reset the internet” (Web 3.0) and decentralize traditional global structures. Dorsey’s dystopian touch will expose blockchain as the ultimate system of total control. ⁃ TN Editor

Technocracy; As much as I believe that blockchain technology has the potential to solve many of the problems humanity faces today, I also fear what can happen if blockchain technology is used to take away the privacy and rights of individuals, wrote technology executive and former hacker Trent Lapinski in an article for Cointelegraph.

“ He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads” Rev. 13:16 

Do you want to live in a world where every purchase you make and every interaction you have with others is recorded, documented and unchangeable?

What about a world where everyone is manipulated into rating each other in some kind of evil social rating system on a daily basis?

Your every move is recorded and every website you visit is documented. Every book you read, every time you step off the curb before the light changes, and every time you go even one unit above the speed limit it is used against you. If your score drops, you lose access to travel and quality food, and if it drops enough you eventually lose your home and become untouchable with no hope of ever getting ahead in life.

If you aren’t already aware, China has invested heavily in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in general, and it has been implementing a dystopian social credit system like the one I mentioned above.
