Key inflation indicator posts biggest year-over-year gain in nearly three decades

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

CNBC: A key inflation indicator that the Federal Reserve uses to set policy rose 3.4% in May, the fastest increase since the early 1990s, the Commerce Department reported Friday.

Though the gain was the biggest since April 1992, it met the Dow Jones estimate and markets reacted little to the news. Stock market futures indicated a rise of about 150 points for the Dow at the open, while government bond yields were mostly flat.

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

The core personal consumption expenditures price index increase reflects the rapid pace of economic expansion and resulting price pressures, and amplified how far the nation has come since the Covid pandemic-induced shutdown of 2020. Read More

HOW THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH REVEALS THAT EVIL GOVERNMENTS MUST REIGN FOR MESSIAH TO COME

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Israel 365: The idea that the Messiah will arrive at a time when the world seems to be led by evil, corrupt governments is unfathomable for many God-fearing believers.

But in a recent lecture, the rabbi of Kfar Tapuach, Rabbi Yehudah Richter, explains that evil governments and other powerful entities are actually a prerequisite for the Final Redemption. He bases his assertion on a passage in Zechariah:

 “I will whistle to them and gather them, For I will redeem them; They shall increase and continue increasing.” ( Zechariah 10:8)

AN IMPURE, WHISTLING BIRD

According to Rabbi Richter, this passage is referring to the whistling of a bird that was mentioned in the oral law explaining how in the Talmud in tractate khuli page 63 “tells us that there is an impure bird called racham but it has another name – it’s called shirakarak which means ‘whistle’.”

The reason this bird is often called the ‘whistler’ is because of that same verse in Zechariah according to the Talmud.

A kid called Eichmann

Palestinian Media Watch:

Official PA daily praises Palestinian who named his son Eichmann “to anger Zionism”

The ways Palestinians can “resist” and “fight” Israel seem to be unlimited. One such way, which was praised by the official PA daily, is to give your child a name that “angers Zionism.”

“So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father [a]are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.” Genesis 27:41 

You can name your child Eichmann, for example!

In the following story, the official PA daily praised a Palestinian “fighting family” for its “love of the struggle” against Israel through generations. Recounting the many ways different members of the Abu Atwan family have “struggled,” the paper highlighted the fact that one of the men named his son “Eichmann” after Adolf Eichmann, a high ranking officer in the Nazi SS and one of the major architects of the genocide of over 6,000,000 of the Jews of Europe.

Joe Biden Announces $953B Infrastructure Deal with Moderate Republicans

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Breitbart: President Joe Biden on Thursday announced a bipartisan infrastructure deal with moderate senate Republicans and Democrats after meeting with them briefly at the White House.

“We had a really good meeting and to answer your direct question, we have a deal,” Biden announced, standing with the group of senator.

“The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender.” Proverbs 22:7

Biden met briefly with the group to seal his support for the deal after the White House announced a framework deal for a bipartisan agreement Wednesday evening.

The president celebrated the bipartisan nature of the deal, even though he said it was not all of the proposed spending that he asked for. Read More

Joe Biden’s BLM Nominee Pushed Population Control, Defined American Children as ‘Environmental Hazard’

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Breitbart: Tracy Stone-Manning, President Joe Biden’s nominee to be director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), described American children as an “environmental hazard” while advocating for slowing U.S. population growth in her 1992 graduate thesis.

“The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded
    than the shouts of a ruler of fools.” Ecclesiastes 9:17 NIV

The Daily Caller reported on Stone-Manning’s thesis, titled “Into the Heart of the Beast| A case for environmental advertising,” after which she was awarded a master of science degree in environmental studies. Her thesis, however, amounted to public policy recommendations for the University of Montana described as “environmental education.

Stone-Manning called for an advertising campaign to lessen procreation among Americans, ostensibly towards “environmental” ends. She produced a sample poster deriding a shirtless child as an “environmental hazard.”

Her political advertisement asked in its header, “Can you spot the environmental hazard in this photo?” It included the following response:

That’s right, it’s the cute baby. Americans believe that overpopulation is only a problem somewhere else in the world. But it’s a problem here too.”

A Possible Link between ‘Oumuamua and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Scientific American: The interstellar object discovered in 2017, ‘Oumuamua, was inferred to have a flat shape and seemed to be pushed away from the sun as if it were a lightsail. This “pancake” was tumbling once every eight hours and originated from the rare state of the local standard of rest—which averages over the motions of all the stars in the vicinity of the sun.

“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24: 37

Second, the Pentagon is about to deliver a report to Congress stating that some unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) are real but that their nature is unknown. If UAP originated from China or Russia and were a national security risk, their existence would have never been revealed to the public. Hence, it is reasonable to conclude that the U.S. government believes that some of these objects are not human in origin. This leaves two possibilities: either UAP are natural terrestrial phenomena or they are extraterrestrial in origin. Both possibilities imply something new and interesting that we did not know before. The study of UAP should therefore shift from occupying the talking points of national security administrators and politicians to the arena of science where it is studied by scientists rather than government officials.

Many or even most UAP might be natural phenomena. But even if one of them is extraterrestrial, might there be any possible link to ‘Oumuamua? Read More

Quadcopter drone strike near Karaj – new chapter in covert campaign versus nuclear Iran

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Debka File: The “sabotage” attack on one of its facilities which Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency claimed to have thwarted broke new ground in Israel’s alleged covert campaign against a nuclear-armed Iran with US support. The target was a facility under UN and US sanctions near Karaj City west of Tehran that, according to some intelligence sources, manufactured centrifuges for refining uranium at the Fordow and Natanz enrichment centers.

“On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you …” Ezekiel 39:4 NIV

The novelty in this case was the nature of the weapon and how it was used. Iranian media cited “a small quadcopter drone” as the weapon, which was launched from inside the country. Clearly, an unknown entity released the small device from a point inside Iran after first loading it with an explosive charge or small rocket. It is worth recalling former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen’s disclosure in an interview on June 10 that the team which purloined the Iranian nuclear archive from its hiding place in Tehran in April 2018 was comprised of a team of non-Israeli operatives.

It is no secret that Israel and American spy agencies both have ties with cells of the Mujahedin-e-Khalk resistance movement, which is not news to the security agencies in Tehran. But that a dissident group fired off an armed UAV against a nuclear facility from inside the country marks a key crossroads in the conflict. Read More

Buyers’ Strike? Sales of “New Houses” Also Slump amid Surging Supply & Spiking Prices

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Wolf Street: OK, this is now following the same script: Despite supply that has been rising for months, sales of new single-family houses by homebuilders to the public in May fell 6% from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 769,000 houses, down 23% from the recent high in January, according to the Census Bureau this morning. This sharp decline in sales occurred amid spiking prices.

A similar phenomenon has been playing out in “existing” house and condo sales, where inventories rose for the third month in a row, and yet sales dropped for the forth month in a row amid a historic price spike. Something is out of whack.

The sharp drop in sales of new houses over the recent months brought them back to about pre-pandemic levels. And following the construction boom in apartments and condos over the past decade, single-family house sales are far below the boom-and-bust years of 2002 through 2007:

Poll: Many Democrats want more U.S. support for Palestinians

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

YNet News: A new poll on American attitudes toward a core conflict in the Middle East finds about half of Democrats want the U.S. to do more to support the Palestinians, showing that a growing rift among Democratic lawmakers is also reflected in the party’s base.

“Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises.” Romans 9:4 KJV

The poll from NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds differences within both the Democratic and the Republican parties on the U.S. approach toward Israel and the Palestinians, with liberal Democrats wanting more support for the Palestinians and conservative Republicans seeking even greater support for the Israelis.

The survey also examined Americans’ opinions on the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The survey was conducted about three weeks into a ceasefire following a devastating 11-day war last month between Israel and the Gaza Strip’s Hamas militant rulers. The fighting killed at least 254 Palestinians and 13 people in Israel. 

The poll shows Americans overall are divided over U.S. policy toward Israel and the Palestinians. It also shows more Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden’s approach to the conflict than approve of it. Read More
