Memo: Biden Administration Aims to ‘Reset’ Relations with the Palestinian Authority

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Jewish Press: The Biden-Harris administration is looking to hit the reset button with the Palestinian Authority, including the return to a more traditional (and consistently failed) position on a two-state solution, while rolling back several significant Trump administration positions on Israel.

“The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me.” Leviticus 25:23

The four-page memo, titled, “The U.S. Palestinian Reset and the Path Forward,” was obtained by The National, an English-language news outlet based in the United Arab Emirates. It was reportedly presented to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on March 1 by the acting assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs Joey Hood, and drafted by deputy assistant secretary of state for Israeli-Palestinian affairs Hady Amr and his team.

According to the memo, the Biden administration will seek to achieve Israeli-Palestinian peace under a two-state solution framework “based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed land swaps and agreements on security and refugees.”

While the Trump administration endorsed the concept of a two-state solution, critics considered Trump’s plan for Mideast peace, unveiled in January 2020, as ignoring long-held Palestinian Authority demands and being more favorable towards Israel. Read More

Coronavirus: Knesset okays electronic bracelet for returnees from abroad

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

JPost: All returnees from abroad can be required to wear an electronic bracelet to ensure that they isolate at home or to quarantine in a hotel, a bill approved by the Knesset on Wednesday stated, while the number of serious patients and the COVID-19 reproduction rate dropped to their lowest level in months.

“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” Romans 13:1

The legislation passed authorized the government to decide that those who enter the country from abroad or from specific countries will need to choose between the two options, except for children under the age of 14 and other special humanitarian cases.

At the moment, all people entering the country are required to isolate, unless they present a vaccination or a recovery certificate issued by the Health Ministry. Those who got inoculated or recovered abroad can be released from the quarantine if they undergo a serological test to prove their level of antibodies.

Electronic devices have already been used for the purpose of ensuring that people do not break the quarantine for several weeks on a voluntary basis.

According to the bill, the operation is carried out by private companies on behalf of the ministry. The company will inform the authorities if the person appears to leave their house. Read More

Abigail Shrier Says ‘Gender Ideology’ Is ‘Misogyny In Progressive Clothing’ At Senate Hearing On Equality Act

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Daily Wire: At the Senate Judicial Committee Hearing on the Equality Act on Wednesday, independent journalist Abigail Shrier presented a serious testimony against the Equality Act due to the inequality it would ensure for young girls and women.

“A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.” Deut. 22:5

Shrier was the focus of controversy after writing a book last year that focused on the transgender movement among young girls, titled “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.”

Shrier has been criticized for being anti-transgender even though she says her book has nothing to do with adults being transgender, but rather is about the “trans epidemic” that impacts young girls. She has also spoken out against censorship in the book world.

Last month, The Daily Wire reported on Shrier’s tweet thread regarding Amazon’s book-banning:

“We’re really not making a big enough deal of the fact that [Amazon] has begun deleting books,” she said. “Amazon now claims the right to bar all books that are ‘inappropriate or offensive.’ Of course, nearly *every book* worth reading could be characterized as ‘inappropriate’ or ‘offensive’ to someone.”

Trump Warns Border Crisis “Will Get Much Worse” As Biden Pleads With Migrants “Don’t Come Over”

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Breitbart: Video clips of massive lines of migrants waiting to cross the southern border have gone viral, even as the MSM maintains its eery silence about the growing numbers of children winding up in border detention facilities – aka “cages”.

“A nation without God’s guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep God’s law” Proverbs 29:18 ESV

As the border crisis unleashed by the Biden Administration worsens – even prompting the president to plead with migrants not to keep coming during an ABC News interview released last night – President Trump has returned for an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo where he laid into Biden for aggravating the border crisis by reinstating catch and release and rolling back other forms of enforcement.

During the prime-time interview, Trump told Bartiromo that he and Mexican President AMLO had fostered a “great relationship” (AMLO has been speaking out about the situation at the border, too, criticizing Biden for encouraging illegal immigration), and that AMLO and he had shared a joint interest in controlling illegal migration at the border.

Dalio Warns Democrats Making US “Inhospitable To Capitalism”, Saylor Says Bitcoin Is “The Obvious Solution”

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Zero Hedge: “Cash is, and will continue to be, trash,” is how Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio sums up the future for Americans (and for that point the rest of the fiat-sponsored world), but in his latest letter, he warns that amid the mad money priting and fiscally-enabled inflation, bonds may also be ‘trash’… and in fact any US-dollar-denominated asset.

“The economics of investing in bonds (and most financial assets) has become stupid,” he said in his latest post on LinkedIn.

“Rather than get paid less than inflation why not instead buy stuff – any stuff – that will equal inflation or better?”

The charts below that go back to 1900 show these things – real bond yields, nominal bond yields, and nominal/real cash rates for the US, Europe, and Japan.

As Dalio has explained over the previous few years the credit/debt cycle is only one of the three really big cycles… Read More
