Our First October Surprise! The East Coast Port Strike Could Throw U.S. Supply Chains Into A State Of Chaos | The Economic Collapse

If there is something that you really need to buy, you might want to get it now, because it might not be available later.  The International Longshoremen’s Association port workers are on the verge of initiating a strike which would shut down ports all over the East Coast and the Gulf Coast, and if that strike lasts long enough it will throw U.S. supply chains into a state of complete and utter chaos.  Needless to say, this could have a huge impact on the upcoming election.  If store shelves are quite bare in early November, millions of Americans will be in a very bad mood when they go to vote.

If it happens, the strike will begin on Tuesday.  This is the first time that we have seen a strike of this nature in nearly 50 years…

Thousands of longshoremen at ports from New England to Texas are set to strike early Tuesday in the first walkout of its kind in almost half a century, freezing commercial shipping on a massive scale and disrupting the national economy weeks before the presidential election.

A strike would be the biggest disruption to the flow of goods in and out of the country since the height of the pandemic. Even a short-lived work stoppage would snarl shipping and create havoc in supply chains for weeks. Cargo ranging from cars to electronics, from food to furniture, would be stuck on ships offshore. Each day a strike lasts could cost the U.S. economy up to $1 billion, according to analysts.

If the strike only lasts for a few days, it won’t really be a big deal.

But if it is an extended strike, major retailers such as Walmart and Home Depot will be facing massive supply chain headaches…

As the International Longshoremen’s Association port workers move closer to a strike at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports, the union is warning that major importers such as LG Electronics, Walmart, Ikea, Samsung, and Home Depot will find no options to divert trade to Canada or the West Coast as other unions close ranks in support of its labor battle.

These companies are among the leading importers at the 14 major ports that an ILA strike would impact, according to ImportGenius. Overall, between 43%-49% of all U.S. imports and billions of dollars in trade monthly are at stake as the union moves closer to the Oct. 1 deadline for a new contract, over which talks between the union and ports management broke down in June and have not resumed. Cruise operations at ports would continue.

Joe Biden could have used a provision in federal law to delay the strike until after the election, but he has chosen not to do that…

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Sunday he did not intend to intervene to prevent a port strike on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico if dock workers failed to secure a new contract by an Oct. 1 deadline.

“It’s collective bargaining. I don’t believe in Taft-Hartley,” he told reporters.

Presidents can intervene in labor disputes that threaten national security or safety by imposing an 80-day cooling-off period under the federal Taft-Hartley Act.

This could end up being a colossal strategic mistake on Biden’s part.

If an extended strike causes serious economic turmoil as Americans head to the polls, that will not be good for the Democrats.

According to CNN, if there is an extended strike we could soon experience “shortages of chocolate, alcohol, popular fruit, including bananas and cherries, and even certain cars”…

Businesses have been nervously watching the 12:01 am Tuesday strike deadline approaching with little sign of progress toward a deal to avoid a strike of tens of thousands longshore workers. Many have been doing what they can to prepare for the shutdown – but there are limits.

It doesn’t make economic – or logistical – sense to ship many of the goods that come into East Coast ports by alternative ports of entry – or by plane.

That means America could see some shortages of chocolate, alcohol, popular fruit, including bananas and cherries, and even certain cars if the strike lasts a long time. That could mean higher prices for the goods that are available.

Of course that would just be the tip of the iceberg.

As we witnessed during the COVID pandemic, thousands of different products can be in short supply when there are major supply chain disruptions.

And once the strike is over, it may take some time to get supply chains back to normal…

As everyone discovered during the COVID-19 pandemic, container ports are a choke point in a supply chain as essential to daily life in the United States as water, electricity and telecommunications. Disruptions have a ripple effect throughout the economy and are exponentially compounded as goods pile up at ports, terminals, warehouses and other distribution points. So it takes longer to restart the flow of goods than it does to stop it. Considerably longer.

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene is also going to have an enormous impact on supply chains.

Sadly, the storm caught the vast majority of the population off guard as it carved a path of “apocalyptic chaos” all over the South…

Apocalyptic chaos has struck down in the South as millions are left without power with desperate families lining up at gas stations and roving mobs steal generators.

The southeastern United States has been plunged into crisis as the aftermath of Hurricane Helene continues to wreak havoc across multiple states.

The storm has left a trail of destruction in its wake with the death toll rising to 64.

This is being called a “once in a generation” storm, and at this moment hundreds of roads in North Carolina and South Carolina are closed…

About 300 roads are closed in North Carolina and another 150 are closed in South Carolina, acting Federal Highway Administrator Kristin White of the US Department of Transportation said Sunday. North Carolina officials on Sunday acknowledged those closures have hampered delivery of water supplies to communities in need, like the city of Weaverville in Buncombe County, which is without both power and water, Mayor Patrick Fitzsimmons said.

Even the largest highways in the region have been devastated.

In fact, it is being reported that Interstate 40 is “impassable” right now…

Interstate 40 is impassable between Tennessee and Asheville, North Carolina, and beyond, because of catastrophic floods from the remnants of Hurricane Helene.

A mudslide and flooding have shut down the route.

What a nightmare.

As I shared with my core supports on Friday, recovery is going to be measured in years in some areas.

One official in North Carolina is even comparing the storm to Hurricane Katrina…

Towns throughout western North Carolina, including Swannanoa, were transformed overnight by the massive storm. Muddy floodwaters lifted homes from their foundations. Landslides and overflowing rivers severed the only way in and out of small mountain communities. Rescuers said they were struggling to respond to the high number of emergency calls. Anxious relatives took to Facebook to search for loved ones they hadn’t heard from.

“This is looking to be Buncombe County’s own Hurricane Katrina,” said Avril Pinder, the manager of the county, which includes Asheville.

This storm wasn’t supposed to be this powerful.

But after everything that we just witnessed, it is now being projected that the total damage from Helene could exceed 100 billion dollars…

Helene, a Category 4 hurricane when she hit the Big Bend of Florida on Thursday night, is forecast to leave behind between $95 billion and $110 billion in damage and economic loss. Property damage alone is forecast by Moody’s to run $15 billion to $26 billion.

Last year, the number of “billion dollar disasters” established a brand new record.

It appears that we will break that record this year.

But of course what we have been through so far is nothing compared to what is coming.

We really are living in apocalyptic times, and the chaos is just getting started…

“Consider the Wonders of God” | Founders Ministries

“Consider the Wonders of God”

Job 36:19-37:24

As Elihu winds down his theodicy presented to the destitute Job, he condenses his presentation to two truths. We find these in verses 22 and 23: “Behold, God is exalted in power; … and who has said, ‘You have done wrong?’” God is all powerful and nothing can hinder his accomplishing his will. God is perfectly just, so that the will he accomplishes is an expression of justice. In verses 19-21, Elihu mentions three refuges that sinners seek in order to avoid reconciliation with God’s holy wrath. These attempts at refuge from divine judgment show their disdain for the ransom God provided.

One of these hiding places to which men look is riches. Do riches have strength to give final fulfillment to life? Can they guard them from the coming of righteous judgment? They need to hear the warning of James: “Come now, you rich, and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are motheaten” (James 5:1, 2).

Others simply yearn for death as an escape from earthly troubles. “Do not long for the night,” says Elihu. People vanish from their place but their life before God does not end. Earlier, Job simply wished not to be (Job 3:1-19). But death, early or late, does not eliminate the appointment we have with God: “It is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

Others simply throw aside any sense of personal responsibility before God and move toward deeper indulgence in evil (21). They reason that unbounded pursuit of pleasure will anesthetize the pain of judgment. They forfeit the lesson that God’s affliction is bringing them.

One of the often under-discussed principles of the Reformation was that of simplicity.

Mere men in any of these conditions either of power or privilege should not exalt themselves but remember that God alone is exalted and he alone judges and reveals truth (22-23). God is the omnipotent one and there is no manifestation of power in the world but that it is derived from him (John 19:10, 11). God knows all things and acts always according to his purposes, so we may ask with Elihu, “Who is a teacher like him?” God knows, not through investigation or logic, but through invention. All things that exist and their relations with all other things are the products of his making. He made all things that are not himself and he continues to uphold all of these very things. Nothing exists that he does not know and maintain in being perfectly, and all he says about anything is true. “Who is a teacher like him?”

God works all things after the counsel of his own will (Ephesians 1: 11), so no one may question his operation of the world or of their own lives. Is anyone above him or does anyone give directions to the eternal, all-wise, all powerful one? “Who has appointed him his way?” (23a). He is the thrice holy, all righteous One. He makes no mistakes and there is no moral flaw in him. What he determines for the testing, sanctifying, and judging of men all is in accord with a perfect righteousness that is endemic to his very nature. “Who has said, ‘You have done wrong?’”

Elihu then points to the evidence that clouds, rain, and lightning give of the power and moral purpose of God. Lightning is unpredictable, terrorizing, and impressively beautiful, and all is in the hand of God to accomplish his precise purpose (36:32; 37:2-5, 11-13). With the mystery that such everyday phenomena pose before human observation, who can place a limit on the wisdom, power, or being of God? The curling, color, and movement of the clouds, along with their distillation into rain or snow for terror or for life-giving sustenance (36:31; 37:5-10), show that God does not bend his power or his sovereign purpose to the control of man.

As we exalt his work, we are led to exalt him (36:24, 26; 37:1). Considering, however, the magnitude of his work and how little of it we know, surely we must acknowledge that he is truly incomprehensible. “Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds, the wonders of one perfect in knowledge?” (37:16). His infinity in all that is excellent combined with his eternity of being defy any finite being—all his creatures—from laying claim to any kind of knowledge that would justify complaint against him (37:14-20). His power is uncontrollable and reflects his “awesome majesty” (37:22). As his might is illimitable and an absolute expression of his nature, so his justice and righteousness ride on the wings of his power in absolute purity (37:23).

God works all things after the counsel of his own will, so no one may question his operation of the world or of their own lives.

Given this combination of power and good, we must concede that there is no such thing as innocent suffering except in the one case of the One who suffered the “just for the unjust.” (1 Peter 3:18). When we proportion temporal suffering to apparent temporal evil, we might be puzzled as to why the apparently good suffer and the apparently less-good prosper; but this sense of disproportion finds plausibility only because of our limited and dull reflections on divine holiness. If our knowledge of the moral character of a fallen world and fallen human beings were truly commensurate with the reality, we would immediately concede the justice of God in any infliction of punishment or sanctifying discipline.

We must not forget that God’s granting of pleasure in this life should drive us to see the bountiful nature of his goodness and mercy. Any interruption of our pleasure in this life, whether mild or severe, is designed to bring us to a knowledge of sin and the need for a mediator that can restore righteousness, for God will not be finally reconciled to us apart from true and complete righteousness. “We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous; and he is the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 2:1, 2).

Elihu has played the role of John the Baptist. He has been the voice of one crying in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord. Now the Lord shows up to speak to Job.

Nasrallah Was A Direct Descendant Of Muhammad! Most People Have NO IDEA How Serious Things Have Become | End Of The American Dream

A lot of big names have been killed in the Middle East during the past 12 months, but the death of Hassan Nasrallah is something completely different.  As you will see below, he was believed to be a direct descendant of Muhammed.  In Shia Islam, this is a really, really big deal.  An attack on Nasrallah is literally considered to be an attack on the family of Muhammad himself, and this is why we are witnessing so much rage in Islamic nations all over the world right now.  I don’t know why hardly anyone in the western world is talking about this.  For Shia radicals, there must be vengeance for the death of Nasrallah.  There simply is no other option.

A lot of people in the western world seem to think that Nasrallah is just another terrorist that died and that he will soon be forgotten.

That isn’t how it works in Shia Islam.

As the Jerusalem Post has accurately observed, the death of Nasrallah is “nothing short of a seismic event in the Middle East”…

The strike on the bunker of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah is nothing short of a seismic event in the Middle East. With Israel having shifted the rules of the game, what comes next? The risk of a broader conflict has risen, but there are also opportunities for a comprehensive settlement—everything now hinges on Hezbollah’s response.

The central headquarters for Hezbollah was way underground, and so the IDF had to use more than 80 one-ton bombs to destroy it…

According to Israeli media, over 80 one-ton bombs were used to “dig” deep into the ground and reached Hezbollah’s high command bunker, located under six apartment buildings that were completely flattened.

If you are convinced that Hezbollah will back down after this, you don’t understand how they think.

Nasrallah was greatly loved by his people because they believed that he was a direct descendant of Muhammad.  The following comes from Wikipedia…

Nasrallah was often referred to as “al-Sayyid Hassan” (السيد حسن), the honorific “Sayyid” denoting a claim of descent from the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his grandson Husayn ibn Ali.

To those that believe in Shia Islam, Nasrallah was a living, breathing link to the founder of their faith.

Nasrallah had three sons, and he actually named two of them after his very famous ancestor…

Nasrallah is survived by his wife, Fatima Yassin. He also has three sons Jawad, Mohammed-Mahdi and Mohammed Ali, and a daughter Zeinab, as well as several grandchildren.

In Shia Islam, there is a widespread belief that an apocalyptic figure known as “the Mahdi” will appear in our day and time.

It is also believed that the name of “the Mahdi” will be “Muhammed”, and so that is why so many Islamic parents give that name to their male children.

Following the death of Nasrallah, Joe Biden used the term “justice” to describe what just happened…

The White House has finally put out a statement by early Saturday afternoon. President Biden has called Nasrallah’s death ‘justice’ for the hundreds of Americans who perished over what the US called a ‘four-decade reign of terror’.

“Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror.  His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians,” Biden said. The White House says the Pentagon has been ordered to enhance America’s defense posture and readiness in the Middle East.

There are thousands of Shia Muslims in the swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that will never vote for Kamala Harris after reading that.

Joe Biden doesn’t seem to understand that this wasn’t just the death of yet another terrorist leader.

The death of Nasrallah changes everything.

Hezbollah isn’t going to back down after this.

Instead, they are going to go completely nuts.

On Saturday, Hezbollah caused “the broadest rocket alerts Israel has seen during the war so far”…

Large parts of the nation were targeted by Hezbollah rocket fire on Saturday, causing the broadest rocket alerts Israel has seen during the war so far, following the Israeli strike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, Lebanon on Friday evening.

Starting hours after the strike on Nasrallah Hezbollah began firing small rocket barrages at northern Israel. On Saturday morning, they sharply intensified their attacks by launching two ballistic missiles and multiple rocket salvos.

Of course it isn’t just Hezbollah that is steaming mad.

On Sunday, thousands of Iraqi protesters tried to storm the U.S. embassy in Baghdad…

Thousands of Iraqi protesters attempted to storm the US Embassy in Baghdad’s highly secure Green Zone on Saturday, soon after Hezbollah confirmed the death of its leader Hassan Nasrallah in Friday’s major Israeli airstrike in Beirut.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani called strike on Nasrallah “a crime that shows the Zionist entity has crossed all the red lines.”

In Pakistan’s largest city, police were desperately trying to keep a mob of crazed rioters from overrunning the U.S. consulate located there…

Clashes took place Sunday evening in Pakistan’s largest city of Karachi as local police tried to disperse protesters who marched towards the city’s US Consulate to mourn the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

Video on social media showed police firing tear gas and warning shots, with protesters throwing stones and trying to cross barriers blocking access to the US Consulate.

The protests were led by the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen, a Pakistani Shi’a Islamic political organization which told CNN that their nationwide protests were “peaceful.”

And the Iranian government is vowing that there will be revenge…

Iran’s supreme leader has said the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah “will not go unavenged”, a day after he was killed in an Israeli air strike in Lebanon.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced five days of mourning in Iran in response to what he called the “martyrdom of the great Nasrallah”, describing him as “a path and a school of thought” that would continue.

Iranian media reported that a Iranian Revolutionary Guards general was also killed in the Israeli strikes in Beirut on Friday.

Of course Israel is not going to back down either.

In fact, the IDF took out yet another “high-ranking Hezbollah official” on Sunday…

The Israeli military said Sunday it has killed another high-ranking Hezbollah official in an airstrike as the Lebanese militant group was reeling from a string of devastating blows and the killing of its overall leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

The military said Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah’s Central Council, was killed on Saturday. Hezbollah confirmed his death, making him the seventh senior Hezbollah leader slain in Israeli strikes in a little over a week. They include founding members who had evaded death or detention for decades.

And the Israelis also just hit the Houthis really, really hard…

Israel said it bombed Houthi targets in Yemen on Sunday, expanding its confrontation with Iran’s allies in the region two days after killing the Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an escalating conflict in Lebanon.

The airstrikes on Yemen’s port of Hodeidah were in response to Houthi missile attacks on Israel in recent days, Israel said, amid fears that Middle East fighting could spin out of control and draw in Iran and Israel’s main ally the United States.

There is no turning back now.

All-out war is on the doorstep, and the U.S. State Department has just issued a very ominous order…

The US State Department on Saturday ordered the families of embassy personnel in Beirut to leave the country and authorized the departure of some staff, as the Israel-Hezbollah conflict escalates.

The department ordered the departure “due to the increased volatility following airstrikes within Beirut and the volatile and unpredictable security situation throughout Lebanon,” it said. All US citizens were urged to leave “while commercial options still remain available.”

They know what is coming.

This is the big Middle East war that I have been warning about, and only one side will be left standing when it is all over.

When there are two opponents that are willing to do whatever it takes to win no matter the cost, that creates a situation where events can spiral out of control very, very easily.

We should all be deeply saddened by what is about to happen, because very large numbers of people are about to die.

EXCLUSIVE: Babylon Bee Sues California Over Unprecedented Crackdown On Satire, Parody | The Daily Wire

“We’re fighting back in every way that we can against laws that clamp down on speech.”

Dillon: Jason Davis/Getty Images for Bentkey Ventures / Newsom: Bill Pugliano/Getty Images

The Babylon Bee filed a lawsuit against the state of California on Monday after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a series of “deepfake” laws that target outlets that publish satire and parody.

The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and shared exclusively with The Daily Wire, begins by noting that in July of this year, Newsom tweeted that a parody video of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris should be “illegal.” “The legislature heard the call and passed two laws that forbid political expression under the label of ‘materially deceptive content,’” the lawsuit asserts.

The complaint explains that one of California’s new laws will require social media platforms to become “state snitches” and force them “to field reports about user posts with ‘materially deceptive content’ and then remove or label them.”

Newsom defended the state’s new laws, saying they focus on AI-generated content that could “undermine the public’s trust through disinformation.” But buried in one of the new laws is a requirement for satire and parody content to either be clearly labeled or removed.

In his first public statement on the lawsuit, Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon told Daily Wire news podcast “Morning Wire” that one of the new California laws especially targets satirists, such as the writers at his company, “by requiring them to put disclaimers to let you know that this is parody that you’re reading right now – which completely stifles and kills the joke.”

“If we’re unable to publish satire without putting disclaimers all over it, and we’re going to face potential penalties if we don’t do that, then that’s a very serious issue too,” Dillon told Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley in an interview with “Morning Wire” released Monday. “So we’re fighting back in every way that we can against laws that clamp down on speech.”

The Bee’s suit against California is joined by California attorney Kelly Chang Rickert and was filed with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, whose president, Kristen Waggoner, warned that the leftist state’s new laws “target core political speech.”

“These laws were passed by politicians to protect politicians from speech that they don’t like,” Waggoner told “Morning Wire.”

The lawsuit is filed against California Attorney General Rob Bonta, California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, and Los Angeles City Attorney Hydee Soto.

The Bee’s popularity has skyrocketed under Dillon’s leadership after the satire site, which started by mainly writing about Christian topics, began focusing more on politics. The site’s content is regularly shared on social media by personalities with massive followings, including X owner Elon Musk.

California’s new laws are also being challenged by a conservative social media user, @MrReaganUSA, who recently posted a parody of a Kamala Harris campaign ad. The Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute, which filed a lawsuit against California on behalf of the social media user, argues that California is “chill[ing] free speech, particularly for political commentators like Mr. Reagan, who use satire to critique public figures and rely on social media viewership for their livelihood.”

The Bee’s complaint against California argues that satire and parody are protected speech under the First Amendment “because it trusts the American people to be able to think and decide for themselves in the context of debating political candidates and issues.”

The Bee’s new lawsuit adds to the growing list of complaints directed at government entities related to the censorship of conservative content. Late last year, The Daily Wire, along with The Federalist and the state of Texas, filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration. The suit alleges that the U.S. State Department is funding censorship technology that targets opposing political opinions, especially those expressed in conservative media outlets.

“Be Prepared”: MTG Warns “Most Dangerous Phase” In 2024 Election Has Begun | ZeroHedge

Authored by Luis Cornelio via Headline USA,

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene issued a stark warning on Saturday about “the most dangerous phase” of the 2024 presidential election.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene / PHOTO: AP

With President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris in several polls, Greene suggested that Democrats “will do anything to stop him,” later emphasizing, “Anything.”

In a grim post on X, Greene wrote, “The momentum shift has happened and Trump is leading and his support is rapidly accelerating.” She then added, “They’ve already been trying to put him in prison and literally assassinate him.”

Greene then ominously questioned, “What comes next?” hinting at further “assassination attempts” or potential efforts to “delay the election.” She urged Americans to be “prepared” for the future.

Greene’s comments come just two weeks after Trump survived a second assassination attempt by Ryan Routh, a Democratic voter and donor.

This follows an earlier shooting on July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump narrowly escaped the bullets of gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, a Democrat donor.

Beyond assassination attempts, Democrats had previously tried to bar Trump from appearing on primary ballots, claiming he was unqualified over his alleged role in what they claimed was an insurrection on Jan. 6.

The Supreme Court had to intervene earlier this year, ruling that Trump remained eligible. Meanwhile, Trump faces criminal cases on several fronts.

Special Counsel Jack Smith, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, indicted Trump over Jan. 6 and the dispute over classified documents with the National Archives.

The Supreme Court intervened again in the Jan. 6 case, ruling that Trump enjoys presidential immunity for acts carried out while in office. In a separate ruling, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the documents case, declaring Smith’s appointment unconstitutional.

On the civil side, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization, accusing Trump of inflating property values to secure generous loans. A New York appeals court is currently reviewing the case.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has also indicted Trump on charges related to falsified business records tied to payments made to Michael Cohen. This case has drawn criticism, even from some Democratic legal scholars.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis—a Democrat who came under fire for holding an affair with the prosecutor she hired to go after Trump—accused Trump of illegally questioning the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

During his tenure as president, Trump was impeached twice by Democrats, an effort they planned since he was first inaugurated.

Now, with the 2024 election approaching, some Democrats face accusations of potentially refusing to certify the results should Trump win the presidency.

Hezbollah Reaches Out To U.S. For Advice On How To Govern With A Dead Leader | Babylon Bee

BERUIT — Following the death of their leader Hassan Nasrallah, members of the militant group Hezbollah asked the U.S. for advice on how to govern with a dead leader.

“Following the demise of our great ruler Nasrallah at the hands of those Israeli pigs, we here at Hezbollah need to know how to run our organization with a dead leader,” Omar Ibadi told the press. “We have reached out to leaders in the United States to ask how they can govern their own people with a dead president still in office.”

U.S. officials say Ibadi has been sending texts to high-ranking members of President Biden’s cabinet for guidance on how to run a large organization of people and govern many different groups even while the leader is deceased.

“It’s a unique problem,” Senior Whitehouse staffer George Corinado commented. “We’ve been managing for almost four years now but it does come with some specific problems. These guys are resourceful though, they’ll figure it out.”

As of publishing time, Hezbollah announced they would be asking the U.S. to send over Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib to replace Nasrallah due to her extensive experience running Hezbollah in America.

Democrats Suddenly Care About Illegal Immigration After Years Of Gaslighting Americans

09-29-2024 • Zero Hedge

All the surveys show that the immigration crisis is the dominant social concern for Americans in how they will vote in the 2024 presidential election.  It only falls to second place behind the economic crisis in terms of overall importance.  Abortion, healthcare, racial inequality, climate change?  Nobody cares – At least not enough people to shift enough votes one way or the other.

Any candidate that wants to be taken seriously during this election cycle will have to address the open border problems created by the Biden Administration, and Democrats just decided they care about a month before the public goes to the ballot box.  The same people that created the problem now want you to believe they can be trusted to fix it.

Netanyahu’s ‘War On Seven Fronts’: Expanded Attacks On Yemen, Syria, Central Beirut | ZeroHedge

Israel has been busy over the weekend striking multiple fronts. Not only has it expanded airstrikes on Beirut in the wake of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s Friday death, but it is attacking Yemen and Syria as well.

Starting late last week into Saturday, Yemen’s Iran-linked Houthis announced the launch of several ballistic missiles toward Tel Aviv, which Israel’s military said were intercepted. And on Friday, in an incident which went underreported (given headlines were focused heavily on Beirut events), three US warships in the Red Sea came under simultaneous rocket attacks from the Houthis.

“The Houthi said they had targeted three U.S. warships which media reports tonight are identifying as the guided missile destroyers USS Spruance and USS Stockdale and the littoral combat ship USS Indianapolis. They were reported to have been north of the Bab el-Mandeb at the time,” The Maritime Executive reported.

“U.S. officials are confirming that warships in the Red Sea were targeted with possibly the largest barrage since the conflict began with the Houthis in Yemen nearly 10 months ago,” the publication added.

On Sunday Israeli jets had the assistance of US military intelligence as they conducted a massive airstrike on Yemen’s key port of Hodeidah. It happened in the early evening local time. Axios reports that “sensitive” Houthis facilities were on the target list.

Yemen’s Health Ministry in the aftermath announced that at least four people were killed and 40 others injured in the Israeli raid, which left massive plumes of smoke over the area.

Israeli media has confirmed that it was the biggest Israeli strike on Yemen since the conflict began in the wake of Oct.7 of last year. “Dozens of Israeli aircraft, including F-15I fighter planes, participated in the operation, striking 1,800 kilometers from Israeli territory after the Houthis fired three ballistic missiles on the Tel Aviv and central Israel areas in recent weeks, including one on Saturday,” Jerusalem Post details.

During Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Friday United Nations speech, the Israeli leader said his country is fighting a war on seven fronts. He brought props, as has been his pattern at major UN speeches:

The Israeli leader explained “the blessing” was establishing a “landbridge” from India to Israel. The blessing requires Saudi Arabia to enter the Abraham Accords and normalize ties with Israel. Netanyahu claimed that would have happened, but the October 7 Hamas attack prevented the deal.

In the map titled “the curse,” five countries were represented in black: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. The Israeli leader claimed that Tehran was working to eliminate Tel Aviv using its allies in the region. Netanyahu presented the conflict as a battle between forces of civilization against barbarism.

He is now targeting the very countries he listed in the speech. According to more details of the Hodeidah attack from Yemeni sources:

In a statement, the army said “dozens of air force aircraft” struck power plants and sea port facilities at the Ras Isa and Hodeidah ports. The attacks killed at least four people – including a port worker and three electrical engineers – and wounded 30 others, according to Yemen’s ministry of health.

Also on Sunday, and also largely underreported in Western media, there was another Israeli raid on Syria, which reportedly targeted a base with ‘pro-Iranian’ assets. It happened on the outskirts of the capital Damascus. “At least seven pro-Iran militants were injured in an Israeli strike in the countryside of Damascus, near the Syria-Lebanon border, a war monitor reported on Monday, amid soaring regional tensions against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war,” regional source Rudaw reports.

“Seven elements, most of them non-Syrians, were injured in an Israeli airstrike on a border crossing on the Syrian-Lebanese border in Rif Dimashq from the Syrian side,” the report said. A similar raid occurred on Friday, as Israel was bombing Beirut. Syrian state SANA said the Friday aggression killed five Syrian soldiers.

Meanwhile on Monday Israel has expanded its strikes in Lebanon to include targeted attacks on central Beirut, which is a first since the 2006 war. The apparent targets included three senior figures in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Subsequently the leftist group which conducted airline hijackings in the 1970s said its officials Mohammed Abdel Aal, Emad Odeh, and Abdel Rahman Abdel Aal were killed in Beirut’s Cola district.

The Guardian described of the attack, “Initial footage from the scene showed two storeys of an apartment building completely blown out, and onlookers running towards the building. Two bodies could be seen lying on the street on top of a car outside the building, seemingly ejected by the force of the blast.”

As if all this weren’t a chaotic enough powder keg ready to explode further, Iran-backed paramilitaries in Iraq are now ramping up attempts to directly attack Israel, with a fresh drone operation against Israel’s port city of Haifa:

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq said in a statement today that it attacked four Israeli targets in response to Israel’s attacks on Lebanon and Gaza.

It said that it attacked two “vital” targets in the Israeli port city of Haifa using drones, as well as two other unspecified targets.

Amid what’s clearly a rapid escalation on several fronts in the Middle East, the US Commander-in-Chief doesn’t seem to know what’s going on…

REPORTER: “Any comment on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President!?”

BIDEN (or whatever’s left of him): “I’ve spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I’m supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they’ll settle the strike.”

This despite Yemen and the Red Sea being scene of what one US military commander previously called America’s most serious and intense naval combat going back to WW2.

In northern Israel, the IDF continues building up forces along the border with Lebanon, as well as in the Golan region, ahead of a potential ground invasion. There have also reportedly been repeat incursions into Lebanese territory by Israeli special forces troops. Hezbollah has continued sporadic missile fire into northern Israel over the past days as well, but the big expected retaliation for Nasrallah’s killing has yet to come on any large scale.

Netanyahu on Monday issued a new warning: “There is nowhere in the Middle East Israel cannot reach.  There is nowhere we will not go to protect our people and protect our country,” he said, describing that Israel is in “a war for our very existence.”

Destroying Democracy? | Study – Grow – Know

Destroying Democracy?

I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unfortunately, it needs to be said. Longtime readers know I don’t like to delve into what might be considered bad news, but we must go there.

We are in the final stages of America being stripped of its sovereignty to foreign powers. It’s really as simple as that. If you recall, a previous article I wrote – Devising Iniquity – highlighted how God has often (though not exclusively), worked in the past to judge nations. He would bring one nation against another in what appeared to the world to simply be a particular nation or empire flexing its muscles to conquer a neighboring nation. Once this conquering was complete, the nation that conquered would usually absorb that nation into their current nation, increasing its size and resources (including the ability to tax). To the average person watching, they would merely think that one nation was lording it over another, not realizing that God was directing affairs.

This seemed to have been the norm in ancient history. Today it is done a bit differently but wars are often still very much part of the picture. We see this occurring now between Ukraine and Russia with most non-thinking people believing that Russia started it and simply wants to expand its territory. When the facts are seen, we see that a treaty was already in the works and was about to be finalized, all without war. However, warmongers in the USA stepped in, overthrew the previous president of Ukraine and installed Zelenskyy, the puppet, as Ukraine’s current president. Let’s remember this guy was simply an actor/comedian prior to entering the political arena. He had virtually no political experience, which simply proves to me that the globalists who installed Zelenskyy are simply laughing at us. The fact that Harris is also being installed is more proof of that.

The Second Smartest Guy in the World‘s substack goes into some detail on this whole thing regarding how we’ve gotten to this point where America’s sovereignty is being destroyed.[1] In his article he highlights a number of important facts that all dovetail into the same destruction of America’s sovereignty. If I happened to be a globalist, I’d probably do the same thing.

• The C0V Psyop started it all
• Influx of millions of illegal migrants into USA
  • Many of these migrants are already criminals in their own countries
  • Migrants are being given free money and housing and on a fast track to citizenship
  • They will be new Democrat voters
• Geoengineered food crisis
• Major hurricane damage and where is the federal government?
• Billions to Ukraine
• TN National Guard being deployed to the Middle East
• FEMA is more about helping via “Equity” rather than need
• Continuing push related to “climate change”

The truth of the matter is that the short list above is enough to overwhelm and destroy any nation or empire. It’s all been done before in history to an extent. Currently, migrants illegally here (and paid for by the Biden/Harris regime), are making people’s lives miserable in places like Ohio, NYC and other areas (not to mention in the UK, France, Germany and other nations). Their job is not to assimilate, but to destroy. I’ve seen too many videos taken by average people showing how vile many migrants are in public. I won’t go into detail, but suffice it to say they many (not all), like to stir up trouble, complain about all the freebies they receive as not being good enough quality, get into fights with people, harass women, drive drunk and all the rest. It’s very disconcerting for the average person because it takes people by surprise. Here in the USA, most of us have never had to physically defend ourselves against strangers who are bent on criminality.

The bottom line is that everything listed above is all connected to globalists’ desire to control every person on earth and every aspect of their lives. This is what “kings” do, don’t they (unless the king is more human and compassionate)?

The reason many of these migrants act the way they act is because it’s the way they acted in their home countries. Many were in prison for various criminal offenses (murder, rape, assault, robbery, etc.), and they probably got a deal – “We’ll let you out of prison as long as you go to America, France, Spain, Italy or somewhere else.” I’m sure they jumped at the chance. Once again, Lenin did the same thing by opening up the prisons leading up to the Bolshevik Revolution. It’s the same playbook!

Now, the Democrats want to fast-track these people with citizenship so that they will be able to legally vote in our elections. I find it interesting though that our inglorious DOJ is suing several states including Alabama because Alabama has the audacity to want to remove people who might be here in the US illegally.

Folks, they are not hiding it any longer. It’s all out in the open. If they have their way, illegals here in the US will vote (and will vote Democrat), thereby installing a permanent Democrat one party system in the WH and a majority in Congress. The illegal means that they are using are clearly known by most of us but they keep hammering away at it because they must get to their end goal.

Add to this the UN’s recent “Pact for the Future,” which is nothing more than theft of sovereignty from every country. The UN will then become the de facto world government with all nations underneath the sovereignty of the UN. Daymond Duck writes more about this problem in detail.[2]

…The current (Biden-Harris) administration is aligned with the international globalists that hate America, that hate the Constitution, that hate our Founders, and our founding Judeo-Christian principles.

…In essence, the meeting is about revising the UN Charter to create a new, more powerful UN to rule the world.

The UN’s main goal is to destroy the sovereignty of all nations, especially of the USA.[3] Daymond Duck believes there is a chance that, while the UN is busy bringing multilateralism back from the brink, this may also be the very means of the coming 10 “kings” who will rule the world as noted in Scripture (Revelation 17).

If we stop and consider what globalists were able to accomplish with C0V, we should be astounded at how easy we’ve made it for them. Most people went willingly along with the C0V mandates and even turned on neighbors, friends and family when they did not toe the line. We must understand that most of the people in this world are followers. They will do what they believe they need to do to save themselves, turning on others whom they see as a threat to their own welfare and state of being.

This is why so many people during C0V blindly followed every mandate. They militantly wore their mask, stayed six feet away from others, only came out of their homes when it was completely necessary, and then gladly took the gene-modifying jab that is now destroying their bodies via the spike protein and other things associated with the jab.

Because of C0V, most of global society became accustomed to setting freedoms aside. It was necessary, we were told, in order to live and thrive and it would only be for a short while, which was supposed to be 15 days to slow the spread, but it went on for a number of years with no end in sight. Do you think they will hesitate to issue another set of mandates at the next sign of a pandemic? Of course not. Wonder how many will not comply though?

But C0V started the taking of global society. I’m certain globalists were celebrating with high fives and lots of wine-toasting. They were likely delirious with glee over the abject fear inherent in most people who didn’t want to die from a virus. They’ll do it again and even if most people will resist next time, globalists have so many things in play that our lives will become controlled and ordered anyway, whether we like it or not.

We need to step back and see the whole picture, folks. The globalists intend to win and it appears that God will allow them to do so at least for a very short period of time. What’s happening in America, I believe, is part of God’s judgment on this nation.

By the way, have you noticed that those on the Left constantly talk about “saving Democracy”? When referring to Donald J. Trump, they accuse him of seeking to “destroy Democracy.” This is all subterfuge, folks. The United States is not a democratic nation. It is a Constitutional Republic. You can read more about the differences between the two forms of government here[4] and here.[5]

While technically, America is a type of democracy, but please notice that the Left never admits that the USA is a Constitutional Republic. They want everyone thinking that America is purely a democracy and that Trump is trying to destroy it. It is part of their brainwashing on US society. Since many people really have no clue about America’s founding documents, they simply hear and agree to the thinking of Democrats on the subject.

Please also be aware that more and more leaders (John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, etc.), are now voicing their concerns that the First Amendment needs to go. They argue by allowing people to say anything they want to say (a given under the First Amendment), there is too much “mis/mal/disinformation” out there, which confuses people, allegedly hiding the truth. To combat mis/dis/malinformation, the First Amendment must be limited and/or removed. They’re also going after the Second Amendment because they want law-abiding citizens unarmed. They couldn’t care less about criminals because criminals couldn’t care less about the government.

Globalists must continue pushing, pushing, pushing. They simply cannot let up now because if they do, they will lose their momentum and possibly their war against global society. So they ignore concerns and questions. They deny their lies are lies when forced. They smile benignly and even laugh at the average person’s “concerns,” as if any concerns are based solely on untrue “conspiracy theories.”

I really don’t know what God is going to do. I do know that in less than two months, there will be an election (maybe our last), and if Donald J. Trump does not win, the USA is essentially done. We will have been captured by malevolent people guided by even more malevolent forces in the spiritual realm. I believe they will cheat again. But on the chance that Trump wins, they will ride him unmercifully, much worse than they did during his first term. All of this may be moot though if he does not survive until November 4th.

As Christians, the only thing I think we can safely do is pray, pray, and pray some more and then live our lives for His glory. But we also need to understand that if it is God’s timing for the final world order to come into existence, nothing can stop that. God has revealed that it will be part of the future allowing Satan to reign through his “son” Antichrist. It will be short-lived (3 1/2 years), but it will happen. Just as there was no chance that Nebuchadnezzar would not invade Judah (and he did), there is no chance that ultimately, the USA will fall, to become part of the coming global order.

Though frustrating, I still believe that God will offer protection and blessing to those who are solidly sold out to Him during these coming days. That is not to say we will be untouched by what is happening in the world. It is to say that God’s hand of blessing will be on those who have learned to trust Him.

What other choice to we have in the final analysis?

Worldview may have more impact on mental health than chemical imbalances – study

A new study suggests that the mental health crisis in the United States may be more closely related to a lack of a biblical worldview than to commonly cited causes like chemical imbalances.
