Assessment: Damascus claims air defenses intercepted a majority of missiles targeting the T-4 airbase where Itan-backed militias have weapons warehouses and a drone depot

An Israeli missile strike on an airbase in central Syria has killed two Damascus-allied foreign fighters and wounded several Syrian service personnel, a Britain-based war monitor said on Saturday.

“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 …” Daniel 11:40

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the two foreigners were killed in the raid on the T4 airbase late Friday, but their nationality was not immediately clear.

The official Syrian news agency SANA earlier said that, “at around 9:00pm, the Israeli enemy… fired a volley of missiles towards the T4 military airport”.
“The aggression wounded six soldiers and led to some material damage,” it added.
The Observatory said the attack targeted a drone depot at the base.
SANA said the Syrian air defenses hit most of the incoming missiles.

Over the past years, Israel is believed to have been behind many strikes inside government-controlled parts of Syria. 

Israel has acknowledged it is going after bases of Iran-allied militias, such as the powerful Lebanese militant Hezbollah group fighting on the side of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces in the civil war, and suspected arms shipments believed to be bound for the Iran-backed Hezbollah.

“Proceed With Caution At Your Own Peril” – Merck’s COVID ‘Super Drug’ Poses Serious Health Risks

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Assessment: Some scientists who have studied the drug warn, however, that the method it uses to kill the virus that causes Covid-19 carries potential dangers that could limit the drug’s usefulness.

COVID drug molnupiravir is extremely safe weren’t faithfully adhering to “the science” after all. Because according to a report published Thursday by Barron’s, some scientists are worried that the drug – which purportedly cut hospitalizations in half during a study that was cut short – could cause cancer or birth defects.

“There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12

So much for having a “strong safety profile,” as Dr. Scott Gottlieb claimed in an interview on the day Merck first publicized the research.

It’s perfectly understandable why Merck might choose to play down this safety risk: assuming it’s approved, the drug is widely expected to be one of “the most lucrative drugs ever” – which is one reason why Merck’s shares soared into double-digit territory after the announcement.

As we reported earlier this week, Merck and its “partner” Ridgeback Biotherapeutics will profit immensely by charging customers up to 40x what it costs to make the drug, which Ridgeback originally licensed from Emory University for an “undisclosed sum”. The drug was developed with funding from the federal government.

According to Barron’s, some scientists who have studied the drug believe that its method of suppressing the virus could potentially run amok within the body. Read More

Tax Credit in Reconciliation Bill Would Give Illegal Aliens $82 Billion

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Assessment: Creating a borderless nation of surfs …

The budget reconciliation bill being deliberated on Capitol Hill replaces the current Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) with a program that is part of the enhanced Child Tax Credit (CTC), per a report by Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

 “Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.” 1 John 3:4 ESV

Whereas the ACTC gave cash to low-income workers with children, the new program eliminates the work requirement altogether, meaning that any illegal alien — even those who aren’t working — is now eligible for taxpayer funds so long as they have a U.S. citizen child. The enhanced CTC, which was authorized by one year, also drastically increases the payment amount from the ACTC.

As a result of the changes, CIS estimates that illegal aliens will yearly receive $8.2 billion a year from the program (more than three times what they got under ACTC), while legal immigrants will receive $17.2 billion. For illegal aliens, this totals $82 billion in just 10 years.

Should the new program become law, the negative impact of low-income immigrants will be much higher than before. Approximately 63 percent of all immigrant-headed families (legal and illegal) with children will be recipients of the new cash grant, contrasted with 52 percent of native families.

Moreover, legal and illegal immigrant parents who qualify for the program are eligible for larger average payments than native-born Americans — $5,100 for illegal immigrants and $4,800 for legal immigrants. By comparison, the native-born will get $4,600 on average. Read More @ New American HERE

Payrolls Huge Miss: Just 194K Jobs Added In September, Worst Month Of 2021

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Assessment: “If you pay people not to work you will get less people working” Steve Moore …

Well, coming into today’s payrolls report we said that the number would be a beat and the only question was how big, as a result of millions of Americans seeing their emergency benefits expiring.

“Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise” Proverbs 6:6

Boy were we wrong: moments ago the BLS reported that with expectations of a 500K print and whisper numbers sharply higher, in September the US added just 194K jobs, the lowest print of 2021, and crushing the Fed’s entire tapering schedule as this number was so bad as to pass as a “major shock” from the Fed’s perspective.

White House Downplays Rising Energy Prices, Says ‘Climate Crisis’ Is More Important

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Assessment: Beginning Oct. 31- Nov. 12 government elites will take private gas guzzling jets to Glasgow to extort billions from the US while ignoring China, the #1 polluter on the planet. Pontifex Maximus Bergoglio will be attend COP 26 for religious support (Rev. 13:11).

The White House downplayed surging energy prices in the U.S. and worldwide on Wednesday, arguing that the climate crisis was more important.

“As snow in summer and rain in harvest,
So honor is not fitting for a fool.” Proverbs 26:1 

“Certainly, we all want to keep gasoline prices low, but the threat of the crisis — the climate crisis — certainly can’t wait any longer,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Wednesday.

She added that President Joe Biden believes climate change presents “one of the greatest national security crises” facing the U.S., suggesting that higher prices were a necessary consequence of the fight against global warming

American Students from California Still Trapped Behind Enemy Lines in Afghanistan

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Assessment: If we forget the unknowable number of Americans left behind in Afghanistan, we are no better than the architects of this catastrophe. 

Almost two months after the Taliban seized control of the nation of Afghanistan, dozens of American students and their relatives remain stuck in the nation that is now controlled by enemy forces, and with no more American military forces remaining, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The majority of the students are from the Sacramento area of California. The Times’ Justin Ray says that his investigations have led him to believe that there are still “dozens” of families still trapped in Afghanistan, with 38 students among them. The students are all from the San Juan Unified School District.

“When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan” Proverbs 29:2

Although a handful of Americans managed to escape the country in recent weeks – three families and approximately seven students, according to Ray – the overwhelming majority have been unable to successfully leave the country since the Taliban took over the Hamid Karzai International Airport in the capital city of Kabul.

School district officials have said that they are continuing to work closely with the federal government to try to secure the return of all remaining American citizens. San Juan’s Director of Communications Raj Rai said that they “continue to remain hopeful of their safe return soon.”

In San Diego, the students who are still in Afghanistan are from the Cajon Valley Union School District. The school district is represented in the House of Representatives by Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who has been extremely outspoken in his criticism of the Biden Administration’s handling of the ordeal.  Read More @ American Greatness HERE

BIDEN TO ISRAEL: DIPLOMACY WITH IRAN PREFERABLE

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Assessment: According to a senior U.S. administration official in a background briefing with reporters on Monday, the group has also been discussing the new threat from Iranian unmanned areal vehicles (UAVs).

U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan hosted his Israeli counterpart, Israeli National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata, at the White House on Tuesday morning.

It was the first in-person meeting of the U.S.-Israeli Strategic Consultative Group (SCG), a forum for dialogue between the two advisors and interagency delegations representing defense, military, intelligence and diplomatic officials from both countries.

I will curse those who curse you Genesis 12:3 (The Israel BibleTM)

According to a readout of the meeting, the two sides exchanged views about the various challenges impacting Israel’s security and stability.

Sullivan made it clear that U.S. President Joe Biden is committed to ensuring Israel’s security, promising that the United States will never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.

According to the readout, Sullivan confirmed that the administration still believes diplomacy is the best way to achieving that goal, though is ready to turn to other options if diplomacy fails.

Biden mocked for ‘Truman Show presidency’ over fake White House set

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Assessment: A fake White House, a fake window and a fake view. About that shot Mr. President …

President Biden is being widely mocked on social media for running a “Truman Show presidency” after he was pictured speaking from a fake White House set that features a digital view of the Rose Garden in full bloom from a fake window behind him.

Twitter erupted after Biden was spotted sitting in front of the digital projection window on Wednesday as he held a meeting with business leaders and CEOs on the need to raise the debt ceiling.

“A truthful witness saves lives,
But he who utters lies is treacherous.” Proverbs 14:25

Some ridiculed Biden for using a “literal game show set” as president, while others accused him of deliberately trying to deceive Americans into thinking he was in the White House.

“Why does Joe Biden feel the need to use a Fake White House set across the street from the actual White House?” conservative commentator Benny Johnson tweeted.

Fellow commentator Jack Posobiec wrote, “Truman Show Presidency,” adding that “they gave Joe Biden a playschool desk and a fake Oval Office in a fake White House.” Read More @ New York Post HERE
