“I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.” Ez. 38:4
Zvi Yehezkeli, Arab affairs analyst at Channel 13, on Friday morning warned that Israel has no plan for dealing with the Iranian threat.
In a Friday morning interview with 103 FM Radio, Yehezkeli emphasized that Iran is determined to become a nuclear power.
“The Iranians are advancing towards a nuclear weapon, and Israel has no strategy,” he told the radio station. Read More
CNBC: With a potential default looming for the U.S. in October, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday she would just as soon see the power over debt limits taken away from Congress.
A bill introduced in May would repeal the national debt ceiling, and Yellen said “yes, I would” when asked during a House hearing if she backs the effort.
“For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.” Deut. 15:6
She noted Congress makes the decisions on taxes and spending, and should provide the ability to pay those obligations.
“If to finance those spending and tax decisions, it’s necessary to issue additional debt, I believe it’s very disruptive to put the president and myself, the Treasury secretary, in a situation where we might be unable to pay the bills that result from those past decisions,” she said in response to a question from Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill. Read More …
Assessment: Welcome to another episode of political theatre. The former Federal Reserve chairwoman and current Treasury Secretary would like to tax, print and spend with no pesky Congress getting in the way. The chance of a US default is zero.

Assessment: Raising the debt ceiling is presented as a moral choice. Do it, or you favor poverty and “calamity.” But here’s the problem with Yellen’s position—and the prodeficit position in general: she’s not actually offering a choice between pain now or pain never. It’s only a choice between pain now or even more pain in the future.
Misses Institute: The US is in the midst of yet another “debate” over the debt ceiling. In the twenty-first century, this is a ritual that Washington politicos and journalists go through every few years when the prospect of default and government shutdown is used as a way to hold Americans hostage until they cave to a debt-ceiling hike. I won’t bore you with the details of which politicians are voting against a higher debt ceiling this time around. Outside a tiny handful of principled eccentrics of the Ron Paul variety, virtually everyone in Washington favors more deficit spending. The fact that the leadership from one of the parties currently pretends to oppose higher debt levels tells us nothing about what the regime really wants.
“The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” Proverbs 22:7 NIV
What it wants, of course, is sky-high spending, forever, and it wants to borrow huge amounts—at rock-bottom interest rates—to do it. A default—brought about by a stable debt ceiling—would complicate that goal. A failure to hike the debt would also limit the power of the regime, so we can expect most everyone inside the Beltway to be deeply opposed.
So, it was not exactly a surprise when Janet Yellen took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal earlier this month to call for an immediate increase to the debt ceiling. She doesn’t hold back when it comes to predicting sure and immediate doom if the debt ceiling is not increased.

PJ Media: A whistleblower alleges that Border Patrol agents have received official notice that they must receive COVID-19 vaccines by November 2021 or face termination. The Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding answers about the notification. It raises several key points.
“When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan. Proverbs 29:2
First, the letter, which was signed by Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), notes that Border Patrol has encountered 1,263,295 illegal aliens crossing the border since January of 2021. The congressmen point out the historic difficulty of recruiting Border Patrol agents, citing remote and often dangerous working conditions. How dangerous? Here is what Jaeson Jones, the CEO of Omni Intelligence, told Tucker Carlson in March:
The hyperinflation in European gas and electricity prices is getting more surreal by the day.
Two days after we said that European natural gas and power prices hit escape velocity after Russia unexpectedly cut supplies, prices jumped to records, signaling the supply shortage will only get worse just as the cold winter season starts on Friday.
“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A [uart 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
As we have discussed in recent weeks, European stockpiles of everything from gas to coal and water for electricity production are in short supply and there are few signs the situation will improve anytime soon as demand continues to roar back from a pandemic-driven lull, Bloomberg writes today.

Assessment: Her comments come after horrifying images shocked the nation for weeks of up to 30,000 illegal aliens flooding Del Rio, Texas, earlier this month. Approximately 1 in 5 people that have illegally entered the country tested positive for the coronavirus.
Daily Wire: Panama foreign minister Erika Mouynes said during an interview this week that she warned the Biden administration about the Haitian migrant crisis that was headed to the U.S.-Mexico border that caused a humanitarian and national security crisis on the southern border, saying that Panama “sounded the alarm when we should have.”
“Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.” 1 John 3:4
“Mouynes said there are as many as 60,000 migrants — mostly Haitian — poised to make their way north to the U.S.-Mexico border,” Axios reported. “Panama is expecting more migrants to cross through the dangerous jungles of the Darién Gap this month than in all of 2019 — nearly 27,000.”
“Let’s recognize that they all are heading toward the U.S.,” Mouynes said in calling for the Biden administration to help deal with the crisis, which critics say is happening because of the magnet that the administration’s policies have created that incentivize illegal immigration. “We’ve engaged with every single authority that we can think of, that we can come across, to say, ‘Please, let’s pay attention to this.’”
Axios reported that Mouynes had multiple meetings this week with the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“More than 85,000 migrants have passed through Panama since January — most of them Haitians,” Mouynes said. “Roughly 20,000 to 25,000 Haitians have already made the trek to the U.S.-Mexico border, with most being allowed to enter the United States.” Read More
Breitbart: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley admitted Wednesday during a hearing that he told his Chinese counterpart he would give him a call if the United States were about to attack.
“For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.” Jer. 5:26 KJV
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) grilled Milley during the House Armed Services Committee hearing on whether allegations in Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s book were true that Milley had told his Chinese counterpart that he would notify him if the U.S. were about to attack ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
According to the book, Milley told Gen. Li Zuocheng, whom he had known for five years, during a “top secret, back-channel” phone call on October 30, 2020, to allay China’s alleged fears that Trump would attack China:
General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise. It’s not going to be a bolt out of the blue. Read More
Assessment: The truth is finally out that the general did say he would give the Chinese a warning if the US were to attack. Somehow treason has a different meaning when a Democrat is in charge. Bowe Bergdahl comes to mind.
Assessment: White House reportedly told Palestinians the US president would not be available in DC either, contributing to PA leader’s decision not to fly out for United Nations confab.
Times US President Joe Biden reportedly rejected a request from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to meet last week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Citing US and Palestinian sources, the Axios news site reported Wednesday that Abbas and his aides inquired about the prospect of a meeting with Biden when considering whether to attend the annual gathering.
The Palestinians were told by the White House that Biden wouldn’t hold any bilateral meetings while in New York and was also unavailable to meet in Washington, according to the report, which said this message contributed to Abbas’s decision not to address the General Assembly in person and instead speak remotely by video.

Assessment: “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” YouTube and Google are the self-declared arbiters of evil, not truth, and they say evil is any negative information about unapproved gene therapy injections. Consequently, thousands of legitimate doctors, scientists and health professionals are disenfranchised from the world’s largest video platform.
YouTube’s parent, Google, has also de-ranked any material critical of injections or health policies. ⁃ TN Editor

Technocracy: YouTube is taking down several video channels associated with high-profile anti-vaccine activists including Joseph Mercola and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who experts say are partially responsible for helping seed the skepticism that’s contributed to slowing vaccination rates across the country.
As part of a new set of policies aimed at cutting down on anti-vaccine content on the Google-owned site, YouTube will ban any videos that claim that commonly used vaccines approved by health authorities are ineffective or dangerous. The company previously blocked videos that made those claims about coronavirus vaccines, but not ones for other vaccines like those for measles or chickenpox.
Misinformation researchers have for years said the popularity of anti-vaccine content on YouTube was contributing to growing skepticism of lifesaving vaccines in the United States and around the world.
Vaccination rates have slowed and about 56 percent of the U.S. population has had two shots, compared with 71 percent in Canada and 67 percent in the United Kingdom. Read More
