SYRIAN MEDIA: ISRAELI MISSILE STRIKE HITS NEAR DAMASCUS

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Israel 365: The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that an alleged Israeli missile strike hit near Damascus on Thursday night. The media cited a Syrian army source as saying that air defenses intercepted several Israeli missiles. Lebanese media outlets had reported low-flying Israeli jets above Beirut just prior to the attack. Damascus residents reported hearing at least five loud explosions that shook apartment buildings over a 15-minute time span.

“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
And it will be a ruinous heap.” Isaiah 17:1

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, said at least three missiles targeted Hezbollah weapon depots in the Homs region near the capital Damascus. It is unclear whether the attack caused any casualties.

PayPal launches its cryptocurrency service in the UK

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

CNBC: PayPal is launching its cryptocurrency service in the U.K.

The U.S. online payments giant said Monday it would let British customers buy, hold and sell digital currencies, starting this week.

It marks the the first international expansion of PayPal’s crypto product, which first launched in the U.S. in October last year.

“… So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales[a] in his hand.” Rev. 6:5

“It has been doing really well in the U.S.,” Jose Fernandez da Ponte, PayPal’s general manager for blockchain, crypto and digital currencies, told CNBC. “We expect it’s going to do well in the U.K.”

PayPal’s crypto feature lets customers buy or sell bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum or litecoin with as little as £1. Users can also track crypto prices in real-time, and find educational content on the market.

Like the U.S. version of the product, PayPal is relying on Paxos, a New York-regulated digital currency company, to enable crypto buying and selling in the U.K. PayPal said it has engaged with relevant U.K. regulators to launch the service. Read More

While Afghanistan fell, US military focused on “diversity”

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Channel 7 News: A week after his testimony, the Taliban had not only doubled their number of districts, but possessed hundreds of captured U.S. armored vehicles, along with artillery and drones.

“I want to understand white rage, and I’m white,” Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, whined at a congressional hearing.

He might have done better to understand Muslim rage.

“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” Proverbs 18:2

No one, from the media to Milley, cared about the actual coup underway in Afghanistan.

“This department will be diverse. It will be inclusive,” Biden’s Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin insisted. “I’m committed to that. This department is committed to that. The chairman’s committed to that.”

While Biden’s brass were pledging allegiance to diversity, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi welcomed Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar to the People’s Republic of China. Yi praised the Taliban as a “a pivotal military and political force” and mocked the United States.

The United States Army was busy “developing and implementing a strategic plan to advance DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) across the Total Force” as the Taliban seized the capitals of Helmand and Herat. Read More

TALIBAN GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR EXECUTING CHRISTIANS

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Israel 365: Frontier Alliance International, a global Christian missionary organization, released a statement last week stating that the Taliban in Afghanistan is going door-to-door, searching for Christians and executing them.

The Taliban has a hit list of known Christians they are targeting to pursue and kill.

If you refrained from rescuing those taken off to death, Those condemned to slaughter—If you say, “We knew nothing of it,” Surely He who fathoms hearts will discern [the truth], He who watches over your life will know it, And He will pay each man as he deserves. Proverbs 24:11 (The Israel BibleTM)

The US Embassy is defunct and there is no longer a safe place for believers to take refuge. All borders to neighboring countries are closed and all flights to and from have been halted, with the exception of private planes. People are fleeing into the mountains looking for asylum. They are fully reliant on God, who is the only One who can and will protect them.

TALIBAN GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR 

The Taliban are going door-to-door taking women and children. The people must mark their house with an “X” if they have a girl over 12 years old, so that the Taliban can take them. If they find a young girl and the house was not marked they will execute the entire family. If a married woman 25 years or older has been found, the Taliban promptly kill her husband, do whatever they want to her, and then sell her as a sex slave.

Husbands and fathers have given their wives and daughters guns and told them that when the Taliban come, they can choose to kill them or kill themselves—it is their choice. Read More

Biden is blasted for breaking election promise NOT to raise taxes on small businesses

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Daily Mail:

  • On the campaign trail Biden was asked if he would raise tax on small businesses 
  • On February 20, 2020 he said: ‘No. Taxes on small businesses won’t go up’ 
  • Next week House Democrats will vote on the framework for the tax hikes
  • Biden wants to raise the top marginal income tax rate to 39.6 pc, from 37pc
  • Americans For Tax Reform calculate 1.9 million small businesses will be affected
  • Furthermore, Biden plans to remove a ‘step up’ in basis on inherited property
  • The rule means the person who inherits the property can sell it immediately without paying any capital gains tax – a loophole Biden wants to remove 

The White House proposal – backed by the president himself – will begin winding its way through Congress next week.

“… And he who earns wages,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” Haggai 6:1

Last week the Senate passed a $3.5 trillion budget resolution that would pave the way for legislation based on Biden’s plans, and the Democrat-majority House is expected to vote on the budget resolution next week, meaning it will almost certainly pass. Read More

Blinken On If Biden Knows ‘What’s Going On’ In Afghanistan: It’s An ‘Emotional Time For Many Of Us’

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Daily Wire: Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave an eyebrow-raising answer on Sunday when pressed about whether President Joe Biden knows what’s going on when it comes to Afghanistan, claiming that it was an “incredibly emotional time” for many people while refusing to directly answer the question.

Fox News host Chris Wallace repeatedly showed Blinken examples of things that Biden said during a press conference last week that were false, including the false claim that Al Qaeda was gone from Afghanistan and that U.S. allies have not questioned the administration’s credibility.

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Breitbart: The Kabul airport gates are reportedly closed Saturday, as additional details indicate the Taliban is confiscating U.S. passports.

“All of the entrance gates to the airport were closed on Saturday morning because of the dangerous situation,” the New York Times reported, adding that the U.S. embassy in Kabul is advising evacuees not to travel to the airport in light of “security threats.

“I got to the gates and was about to show my passport, but the Taliban got it, and he said you are not allowed to go through and wouldn’t give it back,” one Afghan American on the ground told the Post. “I was lucky a U.S. marine was right there and forced him to give it back.”

Former Navy SEAL Ephraim Mattos, who works to evacuate people on the ground, also confirmed the reports to the Post.

“U.S. passports, driver’s licenses — they are confiscating those pieces of documentation from American citizens,” said Mattos. “They lose proof of who they are, and this has happened on multiple occasions in multiple places”:

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

LifeSite News: Over the past few weeks, France has extended COVID pass requirements to nearly all basic venues including bars, cafés, restaurants, cinemas, trains, stadiums, and gyms. Supermarkets are the latest addition to this list.

Some French supermarkets are now requiring their customers to show a COVID pass before entering.

“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

The measure is sparking much controversy as a video showing police blocking the entrance of a supermarket to a group of people has immerged on Twitter.

Bennett’s White House visit amid US Afghan collapse – a chance for gains on the Iranian front

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Debkafile: Both President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett are counting on alleviating the troubles severely embarrassing them in the five critical days up to their White House encounter on Thursday, Aug. 26. President Joe Biden hopes the US military will drag the faltering Afghanistan withdrawal crisis out of the mud. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett gambles on the massive covid booster campaign curbing the spiraling coronavirus delta figures.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you. Psalm 122:6

In any case, common ground between the two leaders is a priori a scarce commodity They agree only on the need to keep Binyamin Netanyahu from returning to the premiership.  Otherwise, they are at odds on most crucial issues, such as direct action for aborting a nuclear-armed Iran – or military escalation as a rule; how to, resolve the Palestinian issue, the status of Jerusalem and Jewish West Bank settlements.

How far will the hawkish, right-wing prime minister line up behind the practice initiated by Foreign Minister and alternate PM Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz of “lining up with the Biden administration” on all security issues? The two are on the phone to Washington before embarking on any security operation. Israel has accordingly been prevented from punishing Iran for last month’s drone attack on the Mercer Street merchant ship or settling accounts for Hizballah’s s 19-rocket barrage in the first week of August.

According to DEBKAfile’s political sources, President Biden expects Bennett to go along with the Lapid-Gantz line. But up to what point? Read More
