AMAZON REVEALS PLAN TO BUILD ‘TOWER OF BABEL’ OPPOSITE US CAPITAL

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

And they said, “Come, let us build us a city, and a tower with its top in the sky, to make a name for ourselves; else we shall be scattered all over the world.” Genesis 11:4 (The Israel BibleTM)

Israel 365: Amazon has just unveiled the plans for its new corporate headquarters that will stand in Arlington, Virginia, directly across the Potomac River from Washington DC. The announcement inaccurately describes the design as a “double helix” but scholars of ancient history and the Bible will readily recognize the ancient model for the design: the Tower of Babel.

Construction on their second corporate headquarters is expected to begin next year and when completed in 2025 at a cost of $2.5 billion. It will include 2.8 million square feet of new office space distributed across three 22-story buildings. The location is less than four miles from the Capitol Building. John Schoettler,  head of Amazon’s global corporate real estate portfolio, announced the second half of the project designed by architecture firm NBBJ. Read More

Biggest Winners From Biden’s Stimulus: Middle-Class Family Of 4 Will Qualify For $12,800 Over Next 15 Months

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Zero Hedge: While markets wait to see what the final size and scope of the proposed $1.9 trillion Biden stimulus will be, what we know currently about the key support components is the following:

  • “Economic Impact Payments” of $1,400 per person plus an additional $1,400 per dependent phasing out starting at $75,000 for single, $112,500 for head of households and $150,000 for married (fully phased out at $100,000 for single,$150,000 for head of households and $200,000 for married)
  • Temporary enhanced Child Tax Credit: Fully refundable $3600 per child age under 6 and $3000 per child age 6-17 with gradual phase out of $50 for each $1000 over the threshold of $75,000 for single, $112,500 for head of households, and $150,000 for married. Credits are paid out monthly in even increments starting July 2021 through June 2022 (e.g. $300 for age under 6, or $250 for age 6-17 per month per child).

What does that mean in practical terms? 

As BofA economist Joseph Song explains, the big winners of the proposal will be be low to middle-income households with young children. As shown by the orange line below, a family of 4 making less than $150,000 a year could qualify for $12,800 in federal income support over the next 15 months Read More

A spokesperson for Twitter confirmed to Fox News that @Project_Veritas was “permanently suspended for repeated violations of Twitter’s private information policy.” Additionally, the account, @JamesOKeefeIII, was “temporarily locked for violating our private information poli

Fox News has learned that the suspension came just 20 minutes after Project Veritas attempted to appeal Twitter’s decision to lock both accounts after they shared a video showing Project Veritas journalist Christian Hartsock approaching Facebook executive Guy Rosen outside of his home. The confrontation was over remarks he made during an internal video conference that was previously leaked to Project Veritas.

In the leaked video that Project Veritas released last week, Rosen, who is Facebook’s vice president of “integrity,” is heard saying on the Jan. 7 conference that the tech giant has a “system” of being able to “freeze commenting” on threads that are flagged as containing “hate speech or violence.”

The video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Terms of Service.

Psaki On Dallas Mavericks Stopping National Anthem Before Games: It’s About Recognizing U.S. Isn’t Perfect

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Daily Wire: White House press secretary Jen Psaki signaled that President Joe Biden respected Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s decision to stop playing the national anthem before NBA games, a decision that he walked back following backlash.

“Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, said Tuesday night that he had instructed the team to stop playing the national anthem before its home games this season,” The New York Times reported. “‘It was my decision, and I made it in November,’ Cuban said. He declined to comment further.”

A haughty look, a proud heart,
And the plowing of the wicked are sin. Proverbs 21:4

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Psaki about the issue during the White House press briefing on Wednesday.

“Two topics,” Doocy said. “First of all, what does President Biden think about the Dallas Mavericks’ owner, Mark Cuban, deciding to indefinitely stop playing the national anthem before his National Basketball Association games?”

“Well, I haven’t spoken with the president about the decision by Mark Cuban on the Dallas Mavericks — or the, I should say, the national anthem — but I know he’s incredibly proud to be an American and has great respect for the anthem and all that it represents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform around the world,” Psaki responded. “He’d also say that, of course, that part of the — that pride in our country means recognizing moments where we as a country haven’t lived up to our highest ideals, which is often and at times what people are speaking to when they take action at sporting events.

IDF: Iran can enrich enough uranium for a bomb within four months

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

JNS: Iran could develop a nuclear bomb within two years and Hezbollah will not seek an all-out war, according to the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate’s annual threat-assessment report, which was made public on Tuesday.

The report, which focuses on the security challenges Israel can expect to face over the next 12 months, estimates that the Islamic Republic can enrich enough uranium to make one bomb within four months. Iran currently has 1,300 kilograms of uranium enriched to 4 percent and 17 kilograms enriched to 20 percent, according to the IDF. In order to manufacture a single nuclear device, Iran will need 40 kilograms of uranium enriched to 90 percent.

Iran could develop a nuclear bomb within two years and Hezbollah will not seek an all-out war, according to the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate’s annual threat-assessment report, which was made public on Tuesday.

The Iranians have not pressed on with their nuclear project since the assassination of key nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, which was attributed to Israel, as they have not found a replacement for him yet, according to the assessment. However, it notes that Tehran is breaching the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear agreement. Read More

As breastfeeding becomes chestfeeding to appease trans tyrants

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

RT: Amid a global health crisis, muddle-headed morons in Britain’s hallowed NHS have waded into the transgender debate, decimating the medical language of clear common sense for laugh-out-loud ambiguity on the maternity ward.

Those who emerged from the womb as biological women have been given another sharp slap in the face, as a lone National Health Service trust in England has decided to ditch gender badges like “mother” and “breastmilk” in case they offend the one per cent of the adult British population that identifies as transgender.

“And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.” Matthew 24:10

The giddy geniuses at the hospital trust in right-on Brighton, West Sussex, will no longer speak of the “maternity department” – it will be “perinatal services”. And a new policy document suggests that any discussion of breastmilk would be best referred to as “human milk”, “chest milk” or “milk from the feeding mother or parent”, all in the act of “chestfeeding”, of course.

While my science lessons only stretched to GCSE level, I was paying enough attention to learn that “chest milk” is only produced by one sort of human – the woman sort. Incredibly, perhaps, it’s something I have never forgotten, and yet now it seems this is wrong.

According to the report, the 20-plus spy team, which comprised both Israeli and Iranian nationals, carried out the high-tech hit after eight months of painstaking surveillance, intelligence sources disclosed.

Israeli analysts have concluded that Fakhrizadeh’s death has extended the period of time it would take Iran to achieve a nuclear bomb from about three-and-a-half months to two years — with senior intelligence figures privately putting it as high as five years. Read More
