Russia Threatens to Deploy Nukes in Europe

Assessment: The U.S. and NATO have increased naval activity and aerial patrols in the region, which Russia has claimed is a “provocation” and separately threatened “dangerous consequences” for continuing that action …

Russia said on Monday that it may deploy nuclear missiles in Europe because it claims NATO is doing the same.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Russia’s state-run RIA news outlet that it saw “indirect indications” that NATO was nearing deployment of intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF) in Europe, so it would be “forced” to do the same, Reuters reported.

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal.” Ez. 38:3

“Lack of progress towards a political and diplomatic solution to this problem will lead to our response being of a military and technical military nature,” Ryabkov said.

“That is, it will be a confrontation, this will the next round, the appearance of such resources on our side. Right now there aren’t any, we have a unilateral moratorium. We call for NATO and the U.S. to join this moratorium,” Ryabkov added.

INF was banned via a 1987 treaty signed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, though it was abandoned by the Trump administration in 2019, citing years of Russia violating the pact.

Ryabkov claimed Russia now has a “complete lack of trust” in NATO.

Assessment: Federal Reserve officials have insisted for months that Inflation is ‘transitory’, however the latest reports show the word is no longer appropriate ….

Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman told CNBC on Monday that he thinks the central bank should start raising rates soon.

“The Federal Reserve would be better off storing away some of rate increases, so when the inevitable turn down comes, you’ve got some ammunition to fight with,” he said. “At the moment, at zero interest rates, we have no ammunition.”

BIDEN DENIES ISRAEL MILITARY ASSISTANCE AGAINST IRAN

Assessment: The new KC-46 tankers have the capability to refuel jets with 1,200 gallons of fuel per minute. This type of refueling tanker would be crucial for a military strike against Iran …

Washington has denied an Israeli request to fast-track the shipment of two tanker aircraft that Israel ordered, as plans for a potential military strike against Iran should their nuclear plan move ahead, Ynet reported on Monday.

In October, Israeli Defense Ministry sources said that senior Israel Air Force officers requested that the delivery of four KC-46 tanker aircraft from the US be expedited, asking that two of them be brought to Israel immediately. They also requested that the other two be delivered within the next 2-3 years.

“O mortal, turn your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him Ezekiel 38:2 (The Israel BibleTM)

According to the report, Jerusalem hopes to persuade the US over the next year.
The US State Department approved the possible sale of up to eight KC-46 tanker aircraft and related equipment to Israel for an estimated cost of $2.4 billion last March. This marks the first time the US allowed Jerusalem to purchase new tankers.

Israel was supposed to acquire two of the Boeing aircraft by late 2023. When former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visited Washington last, he brought up the issue that two out of the eight tankers be delivered in the next year.

New Pfizer Board Member Held Top Roles at Facebook & Gates Foundation

Assessment: During Hellmann’s time on the Pfizer board, Facebook has pushed campaigns to censor posts that question the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines …

Dr. Susan Desmond-Hellmann, who currently serves on Pfizer Inc.’s board of directors, was previously the Lead Independent Director at Facebook, which has frequently censored user content related to the coronavirus outbreak and vaccines. She was also CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation from 2014-2020.

Hellmann joined the tech giant’s board in March 2013 and held the position of Lead Independent Director from June 2015 until October 30th, 2019, not long before the first reported case of COVID-19.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder and CEO, said, “Sue has been a wonderful and thoughtful voice on the board for six years, and I’m personally grateful to her for everything she has done for this company,” with regard to her departure from the company.

“I remain positive about Facebook and the mission to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Facebook’s Shareholders require a Board of Directors that is fully engaged and committed to address the critical issues confronting Facebook at this time,” Hellmann said of her tenure at Facebook.

“Unfortunately, increasing demands from my CEO role, my extended family, and my own health make it no longer possible for me to commit the necessary time and energy required to properly serve Facebook and its shareholders,” she added in a public statement.

During Hellmann’s time on the Pfizer board, Facebook has pushed campaigns to censor posts that question the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines. Leaked internal documents from the social-media company reveal algorithms aimed at “drastically reduc[ing] user exposure to vaccine hesitancy (VH) in comments.”

There’s a Massive Gas Tax in Biden’s Spending Bill

Assessment: “Producers will naturally pass the cost of the tax along to customers …

President Joe Biden is desperately trying to get his multi-trillion dollar spending package passed on Capitol Hill before Christmas, but according to the Wall Street Journal, Build Back Better includes a significant tax on natural gas.

“It could be a rough winter for energy prices across the U.S., and the Democratic spending plan will make it worse. The House passed what it calls a ‘fee’ on methane that amounts to a stealth tax on natural gas and everyone who uses it,” the Editorial Board writes. “The bill slaps an escalating tax on methane emissions by oil and gas producers that will reach $1,500 per ton by 2025. The fee is meant to be President Biden’s contribution to the recent Glasgow vow to reduce global methane emissions 30% by 2030. The tax is estimated to raise $8 billion over 10 years.”

“And do not harm the oil and wine” Rev. 6:6

“Producers will naturally pass the cost of the tax along to customers. Some 180 million Americans use natural gas to heat homes and run appliances, while some 5.5 million businesses use it to run their workplaces and manufacturing facilities,” they continue.

As I wrote in my VIP column last week, the pain of Biden’s energy plan is the point. The administration is punishing Americans for using traditional energy sources in order to transition the country to a Green New Deal utopia of wind and solar.

Bennett meets with Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi – Daniel 9:27 in view

Assessment: Despite the Biden administration hard line on a Palestinian Consulate in Jerusalem and two state solution, peace with Sunni Islam leaders moves forward in accordance with Bible prophecy …

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Monday met in Abu Dhabi with the emirate’s crown prince, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. It was the first meeting between the two leaders.

In an interview with the official Emirati news outlet WAM published on Monday, Bennett said, “The message that I wish to deliver to the UAE leaders and Emirati citizens is that mutual partnership and friendship are natural …

The period since the signing of the Abraham Accords is the best evidence that developing bilateral relations is a precious treasure for us and the entire region.”

Ilhan Omar Bill Requiring State Dept to Monitor ‘Islamophobia’ Moves Forward

Assessment: While anti-Semitism spreads around the world members of the US Hose of Representatives have come up with a bill to shift the focus to inhibit  criticism of jihad terror …

Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) and Jan Schakowsky (D-Lightfootland) have determined to take action against “Islamophobia,” and their initiative is gaining traction. The House Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday approved their bill calling for a State Department “Islamophobia monitor,” and now it will go to the full House for further consideration. The idea that Pelosi’s House would reject such a bill is virtually inconceivable.

This all started back in October, when Omar and Schakowsky introduced the Combating International Islamophobia Act, which would, according to a press release posted on Omar’s website, “require the State Department to create a Special Envoy for monitoring and combating Islamophobia, and include state-sponsored Islamophobic violence and impunity in the Department’s annual human rights reports.”

“For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.” Obadiah 1:15

This would supposedly “help policymakers better understand the interconnected, global problem of anti-Muslim bigotry. It will also establish a comprehensive strategy for establishing U.S. leadership in combatting Islamophobia worldwide.”

The press release said nothing whatsoever about combating jihad terror or about how suspicion of Islam may be created by the all too common spectacle of Muslims committing acts of violence while screaming “Allahu akbar” and justifying their actions by reference to Islamic texts.

People Are Getting Vaccine Passport Microchips Embedded in Their Hands as COVID Advances the ‘Internet of Bodies’

Assessment: Coming events cast their shadows before them …

The number of Swedish residents who have opted to implant microchips with their vaccine passport into their hands has risen since the country announced new COVID restrictions, according to local media.

On December 1, Sweden enacted new rules that require individuals to have a passport at all events with more than 100 people.

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, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.’ Rev. 13:16-17

“Vaccine passes are a measure that we see as necessary,” Karin Tegmark Wisell, with the Swedish Public Health Agency, announced in November. “We cannot just kick back and hope for the best.”

Hannes Sjoblad told Aftonbladet he had a microchip with his vaccination passport inserted into his left hand. When scanned, all his information about COVID-19 is reflected on his mobile phone.

According to Euronews.com, around 6,000 people in Sweden have had a chip inserted in their hands since 2014.

Swedes have swapped out carrying keys, train tickets, and ID Cards for the convenience of a microchip.

El-Erian Says Fed Made “Worst Inflation Call Ever”

Assessment: El-Erian doesn’t believe peak inflation has arrived and thinks consumer price increases could remain elevated in the months ahead …

New data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed price inflation in November rose to the highest in four decades. Americans are getting antsy about persistent inflation wiping out their real wage gains as Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian warned the Federal Reserve is losing credibility by not tapering its balance sheet to rein in inflation.

El-Erian told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday that the most significant miscalculation in decades is the Fed’s inability to characterize inflation correctly. As readers know, Fed Chair Jerome Powell retired the “transitory” narrative on Nov. 30 and opted to label inflation as persistent.

“The characterization of inflation as transitory — it’s probably the worst inflation call in the history of the Federal Reserve,” El-Erian said.

Scarcity on Earth

“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” Rev. 6:6

“It results in a high probability of a policy mistake,” he said. “So the Fed must quickly, starting this week, regain control of the inflation narrative and regain its own credibility. Otherwise, it will become a driver of higher inflation expectations that feed off themselves.”

El-Erian said Powell “needs to ease his foot off the accelerator” in reference to the $120 billion in bond buying every month. He said there is “no reason why they [Fed] should be injecting so much liquidity,” adding that the Fed should not be boosting housing prices at a time when an unaffordability crisis is emerging.

Palestinians Vote in Local Elections Amid Rising Anger with Abbas

Assessment: Abbas’ rivals, including Hamas, accused him of using the Jerusalem voting dispute as an excuse to cancel elections that polls showed he and his party would lose to the Islamist group …

Palestinians held municipal elections in the West Bank on Saturday in a rare democratic exercise and amid rising anger with President Mahmoud Abbas after he cancelled planned legislative and presidential votes earlier this year.

More than 400,000 Palestinians were eligible to cast ballots for representatives in 154 village councils in the West Bank, where Abbas’ Palestinian Authority has limited self-rule. Municipal votes are typically held every four or five years.

“Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” Exodus 17:16 

Municipal elections are not being held in Gaza, whose Islamist rulers Hamas are boycotting the vote amid a rift with Abbas’ Fatah party. The 86-year-old president postponed municipal votes in major West Bank cities, such as Ramallah, that could have been seen as a referendum on Abbas’ rule.

“These elections cannot be an alternative to legislative elections,” said Ahmad Issa, 23, outside a polling station in the West Bank village of Bir Nabala, adding that a legislative vote could offer “a horizon for the youth” and lead to reforms.
