AOC Calls for Arms Boycott of Israel

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Assessment: If there is one diplomatic move that could sink the US, it is turning against Israel …

Jewish Press: Israel’s Ambassador to the US and United Nations Gilad Erdan has accused Democratic New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of legitimizing Hamas’ “attacks against innocent civilians, as well as anti-Semitic lies,” after she called for an arms boycott on Israel.

“I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3

Ocasio-Cortez announced Friday that she introduced seven amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the annual budget and expenditures of the US Department of Defense, including the blocking of specific US weapons transactions to the Israeli government “over the bombing of Palestinian civilians, and media centers.”

She may be referring to the Israeli Air Force (IAF) bombing of a building housing the Associated Press’ (AP) Gaza bureau in May during Operation Guardian of the Walls, because it was serving Hamas terrorists who were developing technology to jam Israel’s Iron Dome aerial defense system.

The building that was bombed housed Hamas military intelligence offices, its research and technological development department, and technological systems that enabled terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens.

Responding to the amendment, Erdan said he “would expect a Congressperson to understand that Israel is defending its citizens against Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. Read More 

Harvard University: God, Deader Than a Doornail

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Assessment: In 1811, the first graduate program for ministerial candidates was organized; and in 1816, Harvard Divinity School itself was established to ensure that “every encouragement be given to the serious, impartial, and unbiased investigation of Christian truth.” The Divinity School, the first nonsectarian theological school.

Front Page Mag: When it became known that the new chief chaplain at Harvard University was an atheist, there was considerable international chatter. People wanted to know: Who is this atheist who has never seen the inside of a foxhole?

Greg Epstein, 44, author of “Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe, a 2010 New York Times bestseller, has been the humanist chaplain at Harvard since 2005. Epstein, who describes himself as a humanist/atheist, was elected President of the University Chaplains’ Organization by more than 30 of his fellow chaplains.

“ The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” Psalm 14:1

His election was met by cheers from woke religious communities, especially ‘reconfigured’ Protestant Christian denominations that are now a shadow of their former orthodox selves. The Harvard Catholic Chaplains released a statement emphasizing the “administrative nature of the presidency,” a coy way of suggesting that administrators have no ideological power or influence but are there merely to arrange meetings, smooth out possible irreconcilable differences between people, give introductions at lectures and carry big briefcases as they go from place to place. God may be dead but the intricate business of humanity is endless.

The selection of Epstein as head university chaplain should come as no surprise. Read More

 

3,728,600 reasons the escaped terrorists chose to return to prison quietly

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Assessment: April 8, 2021 Joe Biden restored $200m in US aid to Palestinians slashed by Donald Trump.

Pal Watch: On September 11, 2021, Israeli security forces managed to capture four of the six terrorists who escaped from the Gilboa prison just days earlier. The terrorists did not resist their re-arrest.

“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt” Deut. 25:17

While their escape was clearly the result of a substantial failure on the part of the Israeli Prison Service, their relatively quiet re-capture could well be the function of the comfortable life in Israeli prison while accumulating massive salaries, from the Palestinian Authority.

According to calculations made by Palestinian Media Watch, based on the official PA terrorist salary pay scale, prior to the escape of the terrorists, the PA had already paid them a minimum cumulative sum of 3,728,600 shekels ($1,165,125).

Leading the payments was Mahmoud Ardah, who was arrested in 1996 and sentenced to life and another 15 years. To reward Ardah for his terrorist activities, to date the PA has paid him a total of 1,156,000 shekels ($361,230). For the last 60 months, Ardah had been receiving 8,000 shekels ($2,471). On Sept. 21, he will complete 25 years in prison. Accordingly, in his September “pay check”, he will receive a salary rise to 10,000 shekels/month ($3,089)

The second highest paid of the escaped terrorists is Muhammad Ardah, an Islamic Jihad member who was put on trial and convicted for his part in initiating and executing a suicide bombing on Nov. 29, 2001, in which 3 people were murdered and many others were wounded. To reward Ardah for blowing up a bus, the PA has already paid him a total of 903,200 shekels ($282,235). Arrested in May 2002, this Ardah receives 7,000 shekels/month ($2,162). He will receive a salary increase in May 2022. Read More

Gen. Milley Downplayed BLM Riots To Prevent Trump From Invoking Insurrection Act

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Assessment: “Donald Trump’s often used word DISASTER, best describes the advice of his generals …

Zero Hedge: That’s according to the new book, ‘Peril’, written by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.

Despite the violent demonstrations quickly spreading across the country, Milley continued to insist that they had only impacted two cities and were relatively sedate, echoing CNN’s ludicrous “fiery, but most peaceful” description of the riots.

“Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” Matthew 15:14

“They used spray paint, Mr President, that’s not an insurrection. […] We’re a country of 330 million people. You’ve got these penny packet protests,” Milley allegedly told Trump.

Milley apparently told Trump that most of the riots only involved around 300 people and that they paled in significance to the 1968 Washington riots caused by the assassination of MLK and the Battle of Fort Sumter in 1861, which started the Civil War.

The riots took mere days to spread to virtually every major city in the country, with looting, arson and violent attacks becoming commonplace, eventually causing around $2 billion dollars in property damage as well as at least 19 deaths and over 17,000 arrests.

At one point, demonstrators took over an entire area of downtown Seattle, completely obliterating official law and order for a number of weeks.

Trump’s failure to act strongly and decisively led to him looking weak, derailing a lot of momentum he would have had going into the election. Read More

Biden’s multi-trillion-dollar spending plan will devastate religious liberty and the U.S. economy

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Assessment: Joe Biden’s ‘build back better plan has a hidden radical pro-LGBTQI agenda wrapped inside 3000 pages of economic destruction

LifeSite News:  Religious freedom and economic stability in Joe Biden’s America could take a major hit in the coming months.

Back from their summer recesses, Democrats in Congress are moving quickly to advance Biden’s radical, multi-trillion-dollar “Build Back Better” spending package. House committees have already finished drafting proposals for a record-breaking $3.5 trillion “human infrastructure” budget reconciliation bill strongly backed by the White House.

“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

The bill, which watchdogs warn actually costs closer to $5 trillion, will likely come just before the House is scheduled to take up the Senate’s $1 trillion “bipartisan” infrastructure bill later this month, depending on infighting between far-left House progressives and “moderate” Democrats.

Taken together, the two bills, which rival the $4 trillion, in today’s money, that the U.S. spent fighting the entire Second World War, threaten to impose an extreme, pro-abortion, pro-LGBT agenda and a raft of socialistic economic policies to all but remake America as we know it.

Trampling religious freedom

A small section of the Senate infrastructure bill, titled the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), promises to devastate the liberties of American Christians and anyone else holding to a traditional, biological understanding of human sexuality and gender.

Page 2149 of the almost 3,000-page bill declares “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” to be federally-protected classes, like race or disability:

No individual in the United States may, on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity that is funded in whole or in part with funds made available to carry out this title.

This provision “would severely undermine religious freedom in America Read More

Why was the Jewish response to Durban a failure?

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Assessment: Twenty years ago, a U.N. conference against racism was hijacked by a revival of the “Zionism is racism” canard. You can draw a straight line from there to the way critical race theory legitimizes anti-Semitism today.

JNS: Exactly 20 years ago, the egregious proceedings of the Durban Conference illustrated how the international community, and in particular, the United Nations had legitimized anti-Semitism. A conference whose purpose was to oppose racism was essentially hijacked by the Palestinians and their allies, who were eager to revive the United Nations’ since-rejected libel about Zionism being racism.

“ For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.” Deut. 14:2

In an international community in which diversity and various expressions of national identity and self-determination were celebrated, only the Jews were told that the movement dedicated to their rights and self-determination was illegitimate.

The labeling of Israel as an apartheid state—an outrageous libel that gained new momentum after Durban and became a totem of the success of intersectionality, an ideology that became best known for its willingness to analogize the Palestinian war to destroy the one Jewish state on the planet with the struggle for civil rights in the United States and against racism everywhere.

Intersectionality and critical race theory, to which it’s closely related, were initially seen as far-left ideas with little impact on the real world. But from the perspective of 2021, it’s clear that what was embraced at Durban has led to directly to the current situation in which these toxic concepts have not only become embraced by the chattering classes, mainstream media and even leaders of the Democratic Party, but also have effectively given an unprecedented permission slip for anti-Semitism.

Americans Panic Over Soaring Inflation, Buying Conditions Hit The Worst On Record

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Assessment: While America panics, the 1% are enriched by continuous money printing …

Zero Hedge: One month ago, when looking at the internals of the UMich report, we noted that there was “A Sudden Negative Change In The Economy” as consumer spending intentions collapsed. One month later, it has only gotten worse.

While overall consumer sentiment staged a modest rebound from last month’s dismal plunge…

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

… the internals went from bad to worse, and as survey director Richard Curtin explained, “buying attitudes for household durables fell again in early September to a low reached only once before” – during the galloping inflation of 1980 when Volcker hikes rates to 20% while – “long term economic prospects fell to a decade so low.” It wasn’t just durables: as shown in the chart below, sentiment for buying conditions of vehicles and homes was similarly the worst in over 40 years.

As a result, “the decline in assessments of buying conditions for homes, vehicles, and household durables left all three near all-time record lows” with the declines due to spontaneous references to, what else, high prices. Read More 

U.S. Killed 10 Civilians, Including 7 Children, In Failed Strike On Alleged ISIS Target, Pentagon Confirms

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Assessment: General Miley called it a ‘righteous strike’ – condolences but no resignations

Daily Wire: The U.S. military mistakenly killed an Afghan aid worker and nine members of his family, including seven children, during an August 29 drone strike on a purported ISIS-K terrorist.

The Pentagon announced on Thursday that the U.S. killed 10 civilians while carrying out a strike on a target that U.S. intelligence officials believed to be an ISIS-K target. The strike was in retaliation for an earlier terror attack that killed 13 U.S. service members as well as dozens of Afghan civilians.

“He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.” Psalm 10:8

Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie, commander of United States Central Command, acknowledged the “tragic mistake” on Thursday but said that the U.S. strike team had “reasonable certainty” that the target represented an “imminent threat” to U.S. forces.

“Our investigation now concludes that our strike was a tragic mistake,” McKenzie said.

McKenzie did not say whether anyone would be held accountable for the mistake, saying that the military’s investigation into the strike was still ongoing. Read More
