Israel’s Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Same-Sex Couple Surrogacy Rights

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Algemeiner: Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday ruled that current legal restrictions barring same-sex couples from becoming parents through surrogacy were unlawful and must be lifted within six months.

“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.” Leviticus 18:22

The country’s LGBTQ+ community praised the decision as a breakthrough. It had demanded for years to be allowed to pursue surrogacy, which is already accessible to heterosexual couples and single women in Israel.

Anything But Transitory: Consumers Expect Inflation In One Year To Soar To 4.8%

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Zero Hedge: While central banks, tenured economists and the financial media are doing everything in their propaganda power to convince Americans that the current phase of hyperinflation is merely transitory (although it now appears that even the Fed is getting some doubts writing in its semi annual monetary policy report that inflation is “more lasting but likely still temporary” until proven otherwise, of course), the shocking reality on the ground is that the Fed has effectively lost control over near-term inflation expectations, as the NY Fed’s own survey of consumer expectations reveals.

“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A [d]quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” Revelation 6:6

According to the latest, June, installment of this closely watched survey, consumer inflation expectations for one year ahead, jumped by the most on record, surging by 0.8% in one month, from 4.0% in May to an all-time high for this series of 4.8% in June.

CNN Medical Analyst Wen: Life ‘Needs to Be Hard’ for Unvaccinated Americans

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Breitbart: CNN medical contributor Dr. Leana Wen said Friday that life needs to be “hard” for Americans who have not received a coronavirus vaccine with “twice weekly testings.”

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1 KJV

Wen, the former Planned Parenthood president, said, “So now we have this delta variant that is much more contagious. Because it’s more contagious, it’s going to be even harder for us to reach herd immunity. We’re going to have to vaccinate an even higher proportion of people to get there. What happens, then, if we end up having another variant developing that’s even more contagious, that could cause more disease, that could evade the protection of our immune system?”

She added, “So how quickly we can get this under control and which way we go depends on what we do now to overcome disinformation. What we really need to do at this point is make vaccination the easy choice. It needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated. Right now, it’s kind of the opposite. It’s fine. It’s easy if you’re unvaccinated. You can do anything you want to do anyway. At some point, these mandates by workplaces, by schools, I think it will be important to say, hey, if you want to opt-out, you have to sign these forms, get twice weekly testing. Read More

What did you learn in summer camp today? Young boy erases Israel

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

PMW: A Palestinian boy who is participating in a Fatah summer camp in Nablus proudly holds up a drawing of “Palestine” that he drew at camp. The map erases the entire State of Israel.

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 KJV

The boy’s drawing shows the map used by the PA in all frameworks that presents all of Israel together with the PA areas as “Palestine.” “Palestine” is written at the top of the drawing, while to the north of “Palestine” is written “Lebanon,” to the east “Syria” and “Jordan,” to the west “the Mediterranean Sea,” and to the south “the Gulf of Aqaba.”

There is no Israel.

The boy’s “geographical knowledge” – which seems to have been reinforced at the Fatah summer camp – is consistent with the PA’s decade-long indoctrination of Palestinians to believe that Israel has no right to exist in any borders and that “Palestine” will be “liberated from the Sea to the River.” Read More

 

Biden Administration Claims Cuban Anti-Communist Protests Are About ‘Rising COVID Cases/Deaths’

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Breitbart: President Joe Biden’s administration responded to protests in Cuba against the Communist regime on Sunday by issuing a statement through a minor official commending protests “about rising COVID cases/deaths & medicine shortages.”

“A righteous man hates lying,
But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.” Proverbs 13:5 

On Sunday, protests broke out in Havana and several other Cuban cities, during which people chanted “Freedom!” and “Down with the dictatorship!” while marching against Communist Party institutions. The New York Times noted that while the demonstrations were triggered by “food and medicine shortages,” they also “openly protested against the Communist government” for the first time in nearly 30 years.

Some activists called it the largest spontaneous popular protest since Fidel Castro took power in 1959, with protesters openly denouncing the regime of Miguel Diaz-Canel.

Bond Yields Send An Economic Warning

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Zero Hedge: If you don’t understand what bonds are and what they can do for your portfolio, you may be missing out on something really big. And not just if you’re a retiree either.

Why Bonds Correlate To Economic Growth & Inflation

As stated in “bonds are not overvalued:”

“Unlike stocks, bonds have a finite value. At maturity, the principal gets returned to the “lender” along with the final interest payment. Therefore, bond buyers are very aware of the price they pay today for the return they will get tomorrow. As opposed to an equity buyer taking on ‘investment risk,’ a bond buyer is ‘loaning’ money to another entity for a specific period. Therefore, the ‘interest rate’ takes into account several substantial ‘risks:’

  • Default risk
  • Rate risk
  • Inflation risk
  • Opportunity risk
  • Economic growth risk

As noted, since bonds are loans to borrowers, the interest rate of a bond is tied to the prevailing rate environment at the time of issuance. (For this discussion, we are using the 10-year Treasury rate often referred to as the ‘risk-free’ rate.)” Read More

MK Hendel: ‘We won’t cease demolishing terrorists’ homes to placate US’

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Israeli Knesset

Arutz Sheva: MK Yoaz Hendel says US government wants to cooperate with Israel, but Israel will not cease destroying terrorists’ homes.

Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel (Derech Eretz) has promised that the Israeli government will not cease demolishing terrorists’ homes to placate the US government.

Yoaz Hendel

“We do what is good for the State of Israel,” he told Kan 11. “The new government’s policy is clear when it comes to violations of sovereignty and the management of terror. Sometimes we may disagree with he US government, but most of the time we will go hand in hand.”

“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:24 KJV

Hendel added that the first dispute between the Biden administration and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s government was with regards to the demolition of a terrorist’s home, and that the dispute is not a rift in relations.

The voices that I am hearing are that the US government wants to cooperate with the new government in Israel,” he added.

Regarding the Citizenship Law and the Defense Service Law, Hendel said that they did not pass because personal issues in the opposition had eclipsed ideology.

“Other than that, I don’t know how to explain how those who come from parties flying the flag of Zionism would vote against a Zionist law. They have made other gods for themselves.” Read More

How COVID divided America into 2 classes

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

WND: The COVID pandemic over the last year and a half divided the nation into the feds – and the not-feds, according to a new analysis by Rick Manning, the chief of Americans for Limited Government.

“But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.” Matthew 12:25

“We’re all in it together!” he writes. “That was the shaming slogan shouted from every celebrity, the media, compliant multi-national corporations and most politicians as they shuttered dissent over draconian economic lockdown rules enacted to flatten the curve of the China-originated and manufactured Coronavirus.”

He said the message was that “we are all suffering so anyone who complains just needs to suck it up and take the medicine the federal and state governments were prescribing like good little boys and girls.”

But the United States Labor Department Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that that was anything but the case.

“While the private sector lost 22 million jobs from February 2020 to April 2020, and state and local government cut about 1.6 million jobs in response to the pandemic, one group of people prospered during the pandemic – the federal government workforce,” he noted. “The federal workforce actually grew slightly during the pandemic never dipping below the 2.63 million employed at the employment high water mark of the Trump administration and indeed our nation’s history in February 2020.” Read More
