THE LIST KEEPS GROWING: BIDEN APPOINTS ANOTHER ANTI-ISRAEL OFFICIAL TO HIS CABINET

Israel 365: As the Biden administration fills up with former Obama staffers, the anti-Israel agenda seems clearer than ever before.

YET ANOTHER ENEMY OF ISRAEL AT THE UN

The Biden administration nominated Gay McDougall, a law professor at Fordham, as the US representative to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD).

A ruler who listens to lies, All his ministers will be wicked. Proverbs 29:12 (The Israel BibleTM)

CERD consists of 18 independent human rights experts, elected for four-year terms. Once elected, the representatives are considered “independent experts” who do not have to adhere to their country’s policies.

McDougall was first elected to serve on CERD in 1998 and did so until the end of her term in 2001. She was elected again from 2016-2020, serving as Vice-chairperson of the Committee. The Biden administration has nominated her to serve another four years. Read More

Oil Prices Set To Head Even Higher As Market Tightens

Oil Price: Solid oil demand is driving up the spot crude prices in every part of the world. This is a clear indication that the physical oil market is finally catching up with the recent rally in the paper market.

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

By the God of your father who will help you, iAnd by the Almighty who will bless you With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.” Genesis 49:25

The strengthening appetite for crude in Asia and tightening regional markets due to changed differentials between regional benchmarks are, in turn, supportive of the oil futures rally, analysts and traders tell Reuters.

The surging premium of Brent over the Middle Eastern benchmark Dubai now makes shipping crude grades from the Atlantic Basin to Asia uneconomic because they are priced off the Brent benchmark. So Asian demand for Middle Eastern and Russian grades priced off the Dubai benchmark is high, driving the spot premiums for Omani crude and Russia’s ESPO and Sokol grades close to a one-year high.

At the same time, the narrowing discount of WTI Crude to Brent Crude is effectively shutting the arbitrage for U.S. crude to go to Europe and Asia as the less-than-$2 a barrel spread makes shipping American oil to the major import markets uneconomical.

As a result of these dynamics in spreads between regional benchmarks, physical crude supply in each of the regions is tightening. Read More

Florida Bill “Banning Vaccine Passports” Actually Allows State To “Use Any Means Necessary to Vaccinate” Citizens

INFOWARS: An overlooked section of Florida Senate Bill 2006, put into law by the state legislature and Governor Ron DeSantis on May 3, 2021, allows government officials to forcibly vaccinate citizens.

Ironically, the bill was widely supported as it was allegedly intended to ban vaccine passports in Florida.

“Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees,
Who write misfortune,
Which they have prescribed.” Isaiah 10:1

“In Florida, your personal choice regarding vaccinations will be protected and no business or government entity will be able to deny you services based on your decision,” DeSantis told Floridians.

While the legislature does prohibit private businesses and government entities from asking for proof of a COVID vaccination, it also allows the state to vaccinate citizens “by any means necessary”.

Under Section 315 of Chapter 381 of Florida’s ‘Public Health’ statute, Title XXIX, individuals can be subjected to quarantine or isolation if they refuse to be examined, tested, vaccinated or treated during a public health emergency such as COVID-19.

“Examination, testing, vaccination, or treatment may be performed by any qualified person authorized by the State Health Officer,” the bill explains. Read More

Biden’s top tax rate on capital gains, dividends would be among highest in developed world

CNBC: The U.S. would tax capital gains and dividends for the rich at among the highest rates in the developed world if President Joe Biden’s proposal was enacted.

The top rate high-earning Americans pay on dividends and the sale of appreciated assets would jump to nearly 49%, when combining all federal and state taxes, according to the Tax Foundation.

Ireland is the only other developed nation to levy a higher tax on investment income – 51% on dividends. But when it comes to capital gains, the U.S. would claim the highest top rate, according to Tax Foundation data.

UN Set to Prioritize Abortion, “Gender-affirming” Procedures Over Meaningful Healthcare Access

New American: The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) — a body that currently includes such paragons of human rights as China, Cuba, Pakistan, and Venezuela — is set to hear a report on Wednesday that prioritizes abortion and treatments for so-called transgender individuals over things such as hospital access and lack of medications in some countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.

There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12

The UNHRC is set to meet from June 23 until July 13 in Geneva, Switzerland. According to the organization, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health for the UNHRC Tlaleng Mofokeng of South Africa is set to deliver a report that will “shed light on the current status/level of realization of the right to sexual and reproductive health and the availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of related services, during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Among Dr. Mofokeng’s credentials are her focuses “on gender equality, policy, maternal and neonatal health, universal health access, post violence care, menstrual health, and HIV management.”

Dr. Mofokeng also boasts being on the boards of the Safe Abortion Action Fund — an organization formed in 2006 specifically to target the United States’ so-called global gag rule prohibiting abortion funding for NGOs outside of the United States — and the Global Advisory Board for Sexual Health and Wellbeing, Accountability International.

Both groups have close ties to the International Planned Parenthood Foundation and are pro-abortion in the extreme.

Bitcoin drop below $30,000 sparks fears of another crypto winter — here’s why bulls aren’t worried

CNBC: Bitcoin’s brief drop below the symbolic price threshold of $30,000 on Tuesday has reignited talk of a crypto winter. It doesn’t help that cryptocurrencies like dogecoin, XRP and others saw sharp drops in the last 24 hours.

But experts tell CNBC that bitcoin’s fundamentals are good, and the market conditions in 2021 are very different than the last big crypto crash in 2018.

“We are far from a bear market, only traders are freaking out over technicals seen on exchanges like volumes and price action,” said popular on-chain analyst and statistician Willy Woo.

What’s happening to bitcoin

Bitcoin’s rise in the last 12 months has had a lot to do with the billionaires and corporations that are buying bitcoin in big amounts. The surge in interest from mainstream financial players has not only reformed bitcoin’s image but has also fomented a supply shortage, which helped drive up the price of the token.

But since the price of bitcoin peaked over $63,000 in Aprilthe last few months have been rough for the world’s biggest cryptocurrency.

China’s countrywide crackdown on the nation’s bitcoin miners certainly isn’t helping.

“Recent news on the China mining shutdown is very reminiscent of China every few years. They’ve banned banks from using bitcoin, but this is actually different.

I’ve never seen an exodus like this before,” said Darin Feinstein, founder of Blockcap, one of the largest bitcoin mining operators in North America.

More than half the world’s bitcoin miners are in China, and Beijing has made it clear that it wants them out. In May, the government called for a severe crackdown on bitcoin mining and trading, setting off what’s been dubbed “the great mining migration.”

Much of this downward momentum in bitcoin’s price has been ascribed to China’s latest moves with mining that have led to a lower global hashrate,” said Jason Deane, an analyst at Quantum Economics, which specializes in research and analysis on financial markets and cryptocurrency.

“While long-term bitcoiners view this as an extremely positive move for the network … short-term traders are spooked by uncertainty.”

2021 vs. 2018

But Deane and others think it is unlikely to be the start of a so-called crypto winter. Instead, they predict we are headed for a period of overreaction that will correct itself in due course.

“We may never see another crypto winter again,” said Mati Greenspan Read More

Iran claims sabotage attempt at nuclear facility foiled

Arutz Sheva: Iran claimed Wednesday morning that an attempted act of sabotage targeting its nuclear program was foiled.

Iran’s state-controlled media outlet, PressTV, reported Wednesday that the alleged sabotage attempt was aimed at a building used by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.

“Persia, Cush] and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets.” Ezekiel 38:5

Other Iranian media outlets, including Nour News, claimed that the building in question, located in the city of Karaj, had been attacked by an unmanned aircraft.

According to the report, there were no injuries or damage in the incident. Just three days before the alleged attack on the AEOI building, Iran reported that it had temporarily shut down the nuclear power plant in Bushehr, without elaborating on the causes of the shutdown. U.S. blocks websites linked to Iranian disinformation | Reuters

The incident comes after the US seized 36 website domains linked to the Iranian government and Iran-backed terrorist groups. PressTV’s domain was among the websites seized.   Read More
