Resurgent Taliban Take Provincial Capital, Kill Afghan Govt Spokesman

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Algemeiner: Taliban insurgents captured an Afghan provincial capital and killed the government’s senior media officer in Kabul on Friday amid a deteriorating security situation as US and other foreign troops withdraw.

A police spokesman in southern Nimroz province said the capital Zaranj had fallen to the hardline Islamists because of a lack of reinforcements from the Western-backed government.

“And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.” Rev. 16:12

A Taliban spokesman said on Twitter that the insurgents had “completely liberated” the province and had taken control of the governor’s house, police headquarters and other official buildings.

Later, a top Afghan general leading the counter-offensive in the south of the country said Afghan air force airstrikes had killed the Taliban’s top official for Nimroz along with 14 of his men. Reuters was unable to immediately verify the claim by General Sami Sadat, commander of the 215 Maiwand Afghan Army Corps, on Twitter.

Fighting to reimpose a strict Islamic regime 20 years after they were ousted from power by U.S.-led forces, the Taliban have intensified their campaign to defeat the government. Read More

Inflation And The Price Of Goods: What To Buy Now And What To Avoid

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Epoch Times: It may seem that everywhere you turn, costs are going up. Earlier this year, Chipotle raised its menu prices by about 4 percent. Food products were 2.4 percent more expensive in June 2021 than in June 2020. Used cars are creeping toward the typical tag of a new car, and rent prices are up 7.5 percent nationwide.

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

“We’re currently seeing price increases across the major segments that impact consumers’ wallets,” Henrique Aveiro, director of machine learning and AI at Insite AI, told The Epoch Times. Insite AI helps consumer goods manufacturers and brands with revenue cycle management and decision-making using artificial intelligence.

“The only food subcategory that had declining prices was cereals and bakery products,” Aveiro said.

Looking a little further down the line can also spark concern. PepsiCo reported its intent to raise prices in 2021. Toymakers Hasbro and Mattel echoed plans to increase prices during the second half of the year. Whirlpool’s appliances will get stickers with increases between 5 and 12 percent.

“Our data shows that inflation will grow more over the next couple of months as businesses recoup their pandemic losses,” Aveiro said.

While the rising prices may seem to indicate tough financial times ahead, knowledge of the causes behind the hikes can be powerful. Read More

And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish Job 8:13

Senator Manchin Hammers on Powell to Back Off Money Printing, as Biggest “Inflation Momentum in 30 Years”

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Wolf Street: Joe Manchin, Democratic Senator from West Virginia, sent a letter today to Fed Chair Jerome Powell in which he, after the required good-job and thanks-for-saving-the-universe-as-we-know-it, hammered on Powell to get off the money-printing binge that is causing “the most inflation momentum in 30 years.”

“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a [c]denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius …” Revelation 6:6

“With the recession over and our strong economic recovery well underway, I am increasingly alarmed that the Fed continues to inject record amounts of stimulus into our economy by continuing an emergency level of quantitative easing (QE) with asset purchases of $120 billion per month of Treasury securities and mortgage backed securities,” Manchin wrote.

“The Fed has sustained $120 billion per month in asset purchases since June 2020, despite increasing vaccination rates to combat the virus and additional fiscal stimulus from Congress in the ARP,” he wrote in the letter.

“The record amount of stimulus in the economy has led to the most inflation momentum in 30 years, and our economy has not even fully reopened yet,” he wrote. Read More

As persecution of Jews increases, Aliyah increases

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Arutz Sheva: Dr. Sam Minskoff discusses phenomenon of increase in persecution of Jews being connected to the increase in Aliyah.

Dr. Sam Minskoff, a licensed clinical psychologist and Aliyah consultant with Arutz Sheva, addresses the phenomenon of increase in persecution of Jews being connected to the increase in Aliyah.

“then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them behind.” Ezekiel 39:28

He mentions that this has been going on since time and memorial as told in the Exodus story.

The most important thing according to Minskoff, is to stay focused, lean on Torah and not to panic when going through the Aliyah process.

‘Did I Miss The Investigation?’: Biden Sexual Assault Accuser Claps Back After Psaki Says Claims Were ‘Heavily Litigated’

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Zero Hedge: A court declaration from 1996 corroborates former Biden staffer Tara Reade’s claim that she was sexually harassed while working for him in 1993, according to the Sacramento Bee.

“For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” Luke 8:17

Replying to @CurtisHouck @stevennelson10 and @nypost

Ask Psaki: Did I miss the investigation and litigation? I sure did not miss the smears and attacks on my character during Joe Biden’s campaign as I came forward. Was it safe to come forward? I think not. 

In a preview, Reade says that she’d gladly take a polygraph test if Biden does the same. Read More

Iran’s Ruthless New President Takes Over As Supreme Leader Calls for ‘Competent, Jihadi, Intelligent Management’

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

PJ Media: Ebrahim Raisi, who is one of the people responsible for the murder of 5,000 dissidents in Iran in 1988, became the president of the Islamic Republic on Tuesday. On the same day, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whom Twitter considers less of a threat to the peace of the world than Donald Trump, tweeted:

“Today, our dear country is thirsty for valuable service & it needs competent, jihadi, intelligent, courageous management that can use the manifest and hidden capabilities of the nation, which are much greater in scope than the problems, for constructive work and endeavor.”

“After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.” Esther 3:1

In Raisi, it looks as if Khamenei has just the competent, jihadi leadership he is looking for, although Biden’s handlers don’t seem concerned in the least: They’re still indefat

“Jihadi,” of course, is a word capable of varying interpretations. “Jihad” in Arabic means struggle, and there are as many kinds of jihad in the Arabic and Islamic worlds as there are different kinds of struggles in English. The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran itself has a Department of Agricultural Jihad, which has nothing to do with blowing things up on the farm, but simply with struggling to increase the productivity and efficiency of the nation’s agricultural sector.

But Khamenei, as a Shi’ite cleric, knows well that the primary meaning of “jihad” in Islamic theology and law is warfare against unbelievers for the ultimate purpose of subjugating them under the hegemony of Islamic law. Read More

Israel Conducts Biggest Airstrikes On Lebanon Since 2006 War

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Zero Hedge: A rare, major cross-border exchange of fire between Israel and militants in Lebanon has flared-up on Wednesday into Thursday after three rockets were initially launched from southern Lebanon, which Israeli officials say struck inside Israeli territory, causing brush fires with some reports saying up to four injuries.

“For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have lifted up their head.” Psalm 83:3

The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) then hit back with artillery fire on the launch positions, followed by airstrikes, reportedly on Marjayoun district in the south. “Israel responded with several rounds of artillery fire on Wednesday before launching air strikes early on Thursday,” the military announced. The IDF later indicated it blanketed the target zone with over 100 artillery strikes.
