The darkness is far advanced – these are some news articles we are taking notice of as we watch for the signs of our Lord's return.

Australian PM who backed Israel is ousted by Labor-led coalition

Prime Minister-elect Anthony Albanese supports Palestinian statehood.

Reinvention time: Liberals tried to win wealthy inner city Woke seats and lost the nation

The Liberals Nationals went in with a promise to support the religious against discrimination and ended up supporting climate alfabet soup- at which point the public voted for the more authentic version. The feature of the new PM is a close affinity to US Joe Biden, who he will visit first, especially in terms of not knowing what policy he supports on a given day and forgetful gaffs. This must contribute to the appearance of weakness. As everything that matters is about the controvsery of Zion, it must not matter to Israel building on the mountains that the new government of Australia does not favour it. We are suspecting that the seventh year issues will hit hard and the weakness of both American and Australian leaders becomes an issue. There is no desire by the new PM to go to France and repair relationships there - and the most signifcaint point is that nobody wanted this government - it only exists due to the 2 party system. The Labor Party won with the lowest primary vote ever recorded in Australian history. with 70 percent chosing first another party to lead them. Yet knowing this fact they still speak of bringing unity. Knowing Australians, more likely the lack of support and weakness of the government will merely bring contempt, as shown in America.

there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. (Daniel 12:1)

Five Warning Signs The End Of Dollar Hegemony Is Near. Here's What Happens Next

NASA baffled as Hubble Space Telescope spots 'something weird' happening to the universe

The (Hubble) Telescope, which was launched in 1990, has helped astronomers identify 40 "milepost markers" for space and time to measure the rate of the expansion of the universe. "In recent years, thanks to data from Hubble and other telescopes, astronomers found another twist: a discrepancy between the expansion rate as measured in the local universe compared to independent observations from right after the big bang, which predict a different expansion value."

Having set out what they think are even time 'markers' based on assumed distances they are expecting even expansion. The more we can see the more it shows there has been hands-on intervention by Yahweh Elohim the God of Israel.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: (Psalm 104:2)

Bush condemns 'unjustified and brutal' invasion of Iraq, instead of Ukraine, in speech gaffe

"The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq," said Bush, before catching himself and shaking his head. "I mean -- of Ukraine."

Realizing his mistake, Bush then appeared to say under his breath, "Iraq, too."

The push into the Middle East from the 1990 Gulf war to 2003-11 war against Iraq was a renewal of the Push that saw Britain remove the Ottoman Empire from 1914-1919. Russia began the 'push back' in 2008 in Georgia and now in Ukraine. But it will continue until Russia then comes like a whirlwind to Israel.

And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. (Daniel 11:40)

Biden trip to Israel in jeopardy as Bennett gov’t nears collapse

Will President Joe Biden go ahead with his planned visit to Israel at the end of June? This was on the mind of senior diplomatic officials in Israel on Thursday, after Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s coalition was dealt a serious blow with Meretz MK Ghaida Rinawie Zoabi quitting the coalition.

Biden was given broken glass.

Invading Russian Troops Destroy Historic Synagogue Building in Ukrainian City of Mariupol

Originally constructed in 1882, the synagogue building had more recently become a site for the remembrance of the local Jewish community..The broadcaster reported that prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Mariupol council had intended to return the building to the Jewish community for use as a synagogue.

But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. (Jeremiah 16:15-16)

NATO Pledges Open-Ended Military Support For Ukraine Ahead Of US Senate $40BN Aid Vote

At a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Berlin, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the alliance would give Ukraine military assistance "for as long as Ukraine needs this support for the self-defense of its country." NATO leaders still insist Ukraine can win. “Ukraine can win this war. Ukrainians are bravely defending their homeland,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said.

Jeremiah was told to make the leaders of the nations drunk. We see utter delusion being spoken – giving Ukraine a Eurovision win to host next years event in Mariupol, a place where the Russians have so much territory and the Ukrainians cannot even get close to – a place that Ukraine concedes defeat in the very next day This we expect will be very costly for Europe and will further weaken the EU. We expect that the words will not translate into deeds.

For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. (Jer 25:15-16)

US seeks to weaken Russia's energy hold on Europe, Hochstein says

US special energy envoy Amos Hochstein said on Tuesday. "Russia has one [economic] leverage: the energy sector. That is what it has been holding as a sword over the heads of several countries in Europe," Hochstein said. Israel is one of the countries that wants to provide the region with an alternative, but might not be a viable option for Europe quickly enough.

We would expect that the US efforts will fail. The US is cutting its own energy production short, let alone leaving enough to export, and blocked the Israeli - Cypress pipeline. It is highly likely that Israel will emerge as an alternative - a 'hook' among many hooks, that will bring Russia down to Israel to take full control of Europe.

Thou shalt say, “I will go to the land of unwalled villages ...To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? (Ezekiel 38:12-13)

Israel boosting natural gas production for Europe – report

According to Reuters, Israel is currently pumping 20 billion cubic meters of gas from its offshore reserves, and is poised to double that number “in the next few years” as other gas projects expand and go online. Currently, Israeli gas is primarily used domestically, or sold to Egypt and Jordan. Earlier in May, Energean, a gas exploration company, announced that it found what it estimates to be 8 billion cubic meters in Israel’s offshore Athena exploration area.

The find marked the first discovery from drilling licenses that were issued in 2017 by then-Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz. It also raised the overall amount of confirmed gas in Israel’s offshore Exclusive Economic Zone to 800 billion cubic meters.

As Europe moves to diversify its energy sources, Turkey has been courting Israeli cooperation to deliver gas to the continent.

Turkey wished to block the Israel – Cyprus pipeline, and used it's leverage with the US to do so. They wish gas to go through their pipeline. As it has been obvious since the days of the Russian Tzars that power over Constantinople / Istanbul in Turkey is needed to access power in the Middle East, Russia will continue to work to gain or take power over Constantinople. For all of the cold war Turkey was a strong anti Russian bulwark but since 2016 things have been muddier. Though still part of NATO, Turkey has been neutral over the matter of Ukraine.

Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. (Ezekiel 38:6)

US Recognition of Jordan’s Custodianship at Al-Aqsa an Important Signal, Experts Say

US President Joe Biden and Jordan’s King Abdullah met in Washington for the second time and Jordan’s role in Jerusalem’s holy sites was high on the agenda

US President Joe Biden told Jordan’s King Abdullah that his administration supports Jordanian custodianship over Islamic holy places in Jerusalem. “The President affirmed his strong support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and cited the need to preserve the historic status quo at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. The president also recognized the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s crucial role as the custodian of Muslim holy places in Jerusalem,”

The statement contradicts Israel’s government. “All decisions regarding the Temple Mount and Jerusalem will be made by the Israeli government, which holds sovereignty over the city, without any foreign considerations,” Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said last week, after announcing that he had denied a request by Jordan to increase the staff of the Waqf, the Islamic religious organization that oversees the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

Osama Sharif, a veteran Jordanian journalist and political commentator, told The Media Line that Biden’s statement was an important signal. “In addition to underlining the depth of the strategic relationship between the two countries, for the king it was important that President Biden reiterated publicly US support for Jordan’s custodianship of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem at a time when Israel is challenging this role and is attempting to alter the historic status quo there as we have seen during the month of Ramadan,” he said.

President Biden has met the king twice since his inauguration, which is more than any other Middle East leader. The king last visited the White House ten months ago.

Jordan was a British creation and power was vested in that relationship. Since the retreat of Britain on the global stage for 70 years, America has taken that role. We expect Jordan to be a strong hold of the Merchants of Tarshish in the day the King of the North invades Israel which equates to Gog and his hosts.

He (King of North) shall enter also into the glorious land (Israel / Lebanon), and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. (Daniel 11:41)

Honeymoon over? Russia fires at Israeli jets in Syria:report

In a statement after the air raid, Syrian military forces said they launched dozens of anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli aircraft. Those missiles are not advanced enough to pose a risk to the IAF.

But, Channel 13 noted, S-300 batteries also fired on Israeli jets. The advanced anti-aircraft S-300 were donated to Syria by Moscow and are operated strictly by Russian military personnel.

Russia used advanced anti-aircraft missiles to target Israeli jets carrying out airstrikes in Syria, marking a major departure from a previous policy of essentially allowing the Israeli Air Force free reign to operate in the area, according to a report from Channel 13 News.

In February 2022, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova spoke out against IAF airstrikes in Syria in an unprecedented public statement denouncing Israel. “Israel’s continuing strikes against targets inside Syria cause deep concern. They are a crude violation of Syria’s sovereignty and may trigger a sharp escalation of tensions,” she said.

In January 2022, Hezbollah-affiliated Lebansese newspaper Al-Akhbar newspaper said that Syria and its allies, including Iran, expressed deep dissatisfaction with the Russians, demanding that Russia stop allowing IAF air strikes in Syrian territory.

Syria and its allies would “be forced to react to the airstrikes if it doesn’t restrain Israel,” they reportedly warned Russia.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and other Israeli officials have repeatedly referenced the strategic importance of maintaining strong ties with Russia.

Israeli commentators and analysts have said that Moscow’s policy of permitting IAF raids in Syria is one reason why the Jewish state has been reticent to formally support Ukraine or transfer military aid to the country.

European Union cuts its UNRWA budget by 40 percent

The new budget will provide $82 million annually, compared to the previous average annual figure of $135 million.

The EU will give $15 million in food aid due to the impacts of the Ukraine war, which is about $2 per person. As the US just emptied itself and went into more debt aiding Ukraine, to the tune of $40 Billions, we would expect that the US will soon fail to fund UNRWA. As the EU will find that it needs more and more to fund Ukrainian refugees, one could expect shortfalls even in what is promised now. We expect this failure of UNRWA as UNRWA funding allows incitement and power to those who prevent Jews dwelling on the Mountains of Israel. It is written – not once but 3 times that Israel dwells safely – which means in security, boldly or carelessly. Some have felt this is so impossible that the whole passage of Ezekiel 38 must be after Christ returns as King of the Jews. Some feel that Israel needs yet another 'inner ring' Arab war to realise this – but in fact under US President Trump it was almost (and virtually) achieved, and even now the terror attacks are not on the Mountains, where they have systems of security, but to the coasts.

After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. (Ezekiel 38:8)

Biden assures Abdullah US recognizes Jordan as custodian of holy places

WASHINGTON – US President Joe Biden met on Friday with King Abdullah II of Jordan “and reaffirmed the close and enduring nature of the friendship between the United States and Jordan,” the White House said. According to a readout of the conversation, Jordan is a critical ally and force for stability in the Middle East, “and the President confirmed unwavering US support for Jordan and His Majesty’s leadership.”

Jordan is modern day Edom and Moab. The alliance will see the Americans and British based in Jordan when Gog Prince of Rosh of the North invades Israel. The God of Israel has only contempt for Moab, Edom and Philistia.

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? (Psa 108:7-10)

US Air Force Deployment In Britain Is Now 3rd Largest In World

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has 9,730 personnel permanently deployed throughout Britain, an increase of 22 percent from six years ago. Analysis by Declassified has found that Britain hosts the third-highest level of USAF personnel of any country in the world, ahead of historic U.S. military outposts like South Korea and Italy. These American airmen have in recent years flown bombing missions to Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya from their bases in Britain. n recent months, huge American B-52 nuclear-capable bombers have been seen leaving and arriving at a RAF base in Gloucestershire. “The U.S. says they were on a training exercise to ensure they are ‘ready,’ presumably for war on Ukraine,” The only countries which host more USAF personnel are Germany with 14,540 and Japan with 13,788. Both countries were occupied by the U.S. military after being defeated in 1945.

We would expect that if Europe is to be chained to Russia, as implied by the understanding that in Ezekiel 38 Rosh – is the 'head' and the two legs of the Image Empire of Daniel are from the heritage of the Eastern and Western Roman Empire and therefore does not include the US which was exceptional, that the Ukraine venture does not go well for the US and the US German base is reduced. Another option is that Russia loses in Ukraine and is conquered by US-led Europe to regime-change to Build the Image as One – in which case they think they have peace. US Ukraine however has not been truthful, the war has not been a huge Russian loss. Putin is more popular and has prevailed in strengthening himself. The war instead has revealed utter European dependence on Russia. The US was warned that the debt for new money to Ukraine was unsustainable – others warn that now the huge US debt which was possible due to the dominance of the American dollar is now inflationary as the Ruble has not collapsed with Russia prevailing in the matter of energy supply and actually in practice ending the hegemony of the Petro-dollar. It may emerge as a Pyrrhic victory – whoever “wins”.

Secret UK propaganda campaign stoked Israel hatred to appear authentic — documents

Declassified files show Britain attempted to sow division between Moscow and its Arab allies using fake reports blaming both sides for Egypt’s defeat in the 1967 Six Day War

This is why Britain was to be forgotten 70 years. There is no blessing to those who curse Israel. The Tyre that walked off with it's own feet to trade from another rock. were to be forgotten according to the days of 'one king'. Britain has had one monarch for 70 years, equalling the longest reigning Euroepan king.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. (Isaiah 23:15)

The attempts to degrade Israel’s Temple Mount sovereignty – opinion

The nation of Israel’s history at and identfication with the Temple Mount is longer and more ancient than others. It must exercise its sovereignty accordingly.

FOR THE Hashemite Royal House, the misguided policies of the current Israeli government could not have come at a more opportune time. The Jordanians’ status in the region and its religious administrative role at the Islamic sites in Jerusalem were viewed as weakened in the months preceding the new Israeli government taking power. The King has also begun to actively position his son Crown Prince Hussein as his successor in recent years, a sensitive process, as evidenced by the “coup plot” that the King’s half-brother Hamza was accused of a year ago. The King and the royal family can now rally support by portraying themselves as defending Muslim holy sites by way of a contrived confrontation with the popularly despised Israel.

In contrast, the previous Netanyahu-led government, building on the momentum of the Abraham Accords and intra-Arab interests, had successfully sidelined Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan’s anti-Israel public diplomacy and rhetoric. At the time, social media out of the Gulf region had an increase in content about how Israel not only has legitimate sovereignty and rights in Jerusalem but how Israel’s history and its relationship to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are fact and corroborated by the Koran and Arab sources from the period of Islam’s rise.

New legislation that would prohibit local UK governments from boycotting Israel was announced on Tuesday in the Queen’s Speech

The Conservative Party promised to settle the issue during the 2019 elections, announcing in its Manifesto that it would “ban public bodies from imposing their own direct or indirect boycotts, divestment or sanctions campaigns against foreign countries.” Action was reported as forthcoming after the Conservative Party won a landslide victory at the polls... Tuesday’s Queen’s Speech did include the promised legislation and, counting February’s amendment to the Public Service Pensions Bill, marked the second time in two months that the UK government has taken action against the movement to boycott the Jewish state.

Conservative Friends of Israel (CFoI), a parliamentary group, said, “We welcome the Government’s commitment to legislating against divisive BDS actions which have for too long harmed community relations here at home and the prospect of peace between Israel and the Palestinians.” It continued, “This important legislation will once again emphasize Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s deep support for Israel and the UK’s Jewish community.

In the more distant past Britain aided Jordan against Israel, and Israel struggled for existence in a hostile oil-rich Arab world. However Israel is now successful and resource rich – and has won over

European Sanctions Blown To Bits: Draghi Says "Most Gas Importers" Have Opened Ruble Accounts With Gazprom

Draghi added in a stunning revelation that behind the scenes, Europe not only continues to actively pay Russia billions every day, but is doing so on Putin's terms and helping send the Ruble soaring!

We have always expected that Britain, and likely America, will be reserved to oppose Gog prince of Rosh allied with Gomer, Gaul or France. Therefore the reality – as opposed to the words – is that Europe behind the scenes is finding it is irrevocably connected to Russia. By contrast Britain and America have been able at some cost to divest from Russia .. and in so doing are bold in poking the bear.

Biden Mulling Provocative Visit to Eastern Jerusalem

No U.S. president has ever visited any area of Jerusalem unaccompanied by Israeli officials

BIDEN TO VISIT JERUSALEM WITH UNPRECEDENTED STATEMENT: ZION BELONGS TO MUSLIMS

US President Joe Biden is planning a visit to Israel in June. Still, a recent report claims that while here, he will visit the eastern section of Jerusalem in a clear message of support for establishing a Palestinian capital in the Jews’ eternal capital. Barry Shaw, a Senior Associate at the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, criticized Biden’s decision: “This is a devious way for Biden and his State Department to get back at Israel and drive a wedge into Israel’s legitimate and exclusive sovereign rights over its Jerusalem capital, following Israel’s refusal to allow the State Department to open a US consulate there to serve Palestinians.”

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. (Zechariah 12:2-3)

Lapid: Israel doesn't need permission from the US to build in settlements

We don’t need Biden’s permission to build settlements, says Israeli foreign minister

As Biden administration pressures Israel to cancel approval of 4,000 housing units in Judea and Samaria, Lapid says Israel doesn’t need permission from Washington.

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid emphasized that Israel will make its own choices and will not seek American approval before deciding to advance plans for expanding Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. Speaking to reporters at the Knesset on Sunday, Lapid said that “Israel is a sovereign state and does not ask for permission to operate in its territory.”

Attitudes to American interference are changing as Russia appears stronger and America weaker. In this context Israel is emerging as an energy super power with a good sized population – and no longer needs aid. Israel had no oil – but they found gas, at a time when gas is more desirable – and they just found even more gas.

More Natural Gas Discovered Off Israel’s Coast

Energean says the 8 billion cubic meters of gas found could be quickly developed.

The Greek-owned, London-based Energean said Athena could be developed quickly by linking it to a floating production and storage vessel the company plans to use to send gas into the Israeli market from Karish. That vessel, it said, will begin operating in the third quarter of 2022. The statement also raised the possibility of selling the gas to Egypt. The announcement comes amid the backdrop of Europe reducing its energy dependence on Russian gas and oil. Turkey is courting Israeli cooperation to develop a pipeline delivering gas to Europe.

On Independence Day Thursday, Minister Shaked announced: "Jews on the Temple Mount even on Independence Day, after an all-time record in the number of ascents to Temple Mount this year had been broken." That didn?t go over well with Israeli Arabs, both inside the fragile coalition government and in the opposition.

Saudi Arabia to Invest Millions in Israeli Startups: Report

Saudi Arabia is reportedly ready to invest millions of dollars from the kingdom?s sovereign wealth fund in Israeli businesses, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.According to the Journal, the move is the first known instance of money from the Saudi Public Investment Fund being directed to Israel and could help pave the way for the two countries to normalize ties. The Journal reported that Affinity Partners will invest a $2 billion commitment from the Saudis. The report did not specify how much money would be directed towards Israel, but it did note that two unspecified startups have already been selected for investment. The report also said that as part of the agreement, Saudi Arabia would also allow Israeli businesses to invest in the Saudi economy through Affinity.

We can see now as never before - never! - that the Saudi's would be concerned about their investments when Gog Prince of Rosh invades.

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? (Ezekiel 38:13)

Biden Institutes Rules Forbidding US Soldiers from Non-Official Travel to Israel

The Times of Israel reported on this anti-Israel policy of the Biden/Obama regime that was recently put in place. The commentary is an opinion .. but worth a read... on Friday, Shaked wrote that she, "welcomes the convening of the Supreme Planning Council ahead of the construction of about 4,000 housing units, including the community of Mitzpe Danny, which is especially important to me, and which I have been accompanying for many years. Construction in Judea and Samaria is a fundamental, necessary, and obvious principle."

According to several media reports last Friday, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, MK Nir Orbach, and Deputy Minister Abir Kara, who comprise at least half of Bennett?s Yamina party, have been holding several meetings and agreed to maintain complete secrecy and not to leak a word from the contents of their meetings. The common assessment among members of the Yamina faction is that the Shaked-Orbach-Kara trio is expected to set a target date for their split from Yamina and establish an independent faction since no one today believes this coalition government will be with us for too long. The law allows one-third of faction members to split and form an independent faction without losing their parliamentary and political rights, and, of course, funding. They will then likely negotiate with the Likud for posts in the next government and realistic slots on the Likud election slate.

We know from Ezekiel the Jews will build on the mountains of Israel. We also know that Jerusalem will become a global contention.

JEWS BEGIN BUILDING THIRD TEMPLE ON ISRAEL INDEPENDENCE DAY

"We have a mitzvah (Torah commandment) to build the Temple. This mitzvah is not conditional or time-bound. We have this requirement at all times. So it is a pity that we are not actively engaged in it. Right now, it is politically complicated for us to begin building on the Temple Mount but that does not exempt us from this mitzvah." Rabbi Lipo realized that it was possible to begin to actually perform this mitzvah by preparing the stones that will be used to build the Third Temple.

Putin apologizes for Russia?s ?Jewish blood? comments, accepts Israel?s humanitarian request

After accepting the apology, Bennett presented Putin with a humanitarian request to examine various options for evacuation from Azovstal in Mariupol. Putin reportedly called Bennett to express congratulations on Israel?s 74th Independence Day. On Sunday, in an interview with Italian news channel Zona Bianca, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, "The fact that Zelensky is Jewish does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood." When Bennett, who had been acting as mediator between the two countries, spoke with Putin the following evening, he took the opportunity to make a humanitarian request, the prime minister?s media spokesperson said.

But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. (Daniel 11:36-38)

Putin Tells Macron In 2-Hour Call: 'Moscow Still Open To Dialogue'

Pope offers to meet Putin, still waiting to hear back

Francis said he made the offer about three weeks into Russia?s invasion, via the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. Popes for decades have sought to visit Moscow as part of the longstanding effort to heal relations with the Russian Orthodox Church, which split with Rome more than 1,000 years ago. But an invitation has never been forthcoming. "Of course, it would be necessary for the leader of the Kremlin to make available some window of opportunity. But we still have not had a response and we are still pushing, even if I fear that Putin cannot and does not want to have this meeting at this moment," Francis was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera newspaper. Francis recalled that he spoke in March with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, for 40 minutes by videoconference and for the first half ?with paper in hand, he read all of the justifications for the war.

Pelosi's 'Victory' Rhetoric During Surprise Trip To Kiev Making Some Allies Nervous

There is a sense in Europe that "the US is dragging everyone into a different war", said Professor Francois Heisbourg, a French defense analyst, citing similar comments by Mr Biden about "the butcher of Moscow" and how "Putin must go". Some wonder what Washington is trying to say ? or do.

Biden Warns Israel Against 'Freedom of Worship'

After Muslim rioters disrupted Passover by engaging in violence at the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, the administration urged "all sides to excercise restraint, avoid provocative actions and rhetoric, and preserve the historic status quo on the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount.' The 'provocation action' in this case is Jewish prayer. It's 2022 and the White House is warning Jews that their prayers are 'provocative'. The 'historic status quo' Biden demands that Jews comply with exists only because Muslim conquest deprived non-Muslim minorities, especially Jews, of the right to pray at their holy sites. Biden's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Israeli and Palestinian Affairs Hady Amr, who once claimed, "I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada", was dispatched to Israel. Israeli officials who have met with Amr have described him yelling and berating them.

No one to talk to in Washington

there is a growing sense among Israeli and U.S. officials that the Biden administration will not reach a nuclear accord with Iran. Upon entering office, the Bennett-Lapid government promised the United States total transparency in Israel's operations in Iran. The implication was that Bennett and Lapid were giving the administration veto power over Israel?s operations.

It seems the US Administration is wishing to use the Iranians against Israel - but - they have not read...

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. (Isa 54:17)

Pollak: Biden Takes High Risks in Escalating War with Russia in Ukraine

President Joe Biden?s garbled request for Congress to authorize an additional $33 billion in spending for weapons to send to Ukraine came without any explanation as to what U.S. goals in the ongoing war might be, or what victory might look like. The answer may be in the spending proposal itself: the Biden administration may hope to defeat Russia, not just by stopping its advance in Ukraine, but by causing Russia's ailing military to collapse and forcing President Vladimir Putin out of power. That is the goal that Biden let slip during his address in Warsaw, Poland, in lat March, which was billed by aides as a kind of 'historic' speech. (President Donald Trump?s speech in Warsaw in 2017 warning of Russia?s advance was called 'racist.')

The artile points out that US went from predicting Ukraine's fall to beliving Zelensky's prpaganda that he was winning... Now America hopes to win - not by fighting but by throwing US Dollar debt at it.. It must be for a reason..!
