What Really Happened On October 7? Is Mike Johnson A True Pro-Liberty Speaker?

Published: Thursday, November 2, 2023

Let me remind readers that whenever the entirety of the mainstream media, politicians from both parties and religious leaders from both the right and the left start talking from the same script, start singing the same song and start chanting the same litany over and over and over and over again, YOU ARE BEING BRAINWASHED WITH LIES.

Examples of the above:

9/11

Covid

The Ukraine war

And now the Israeli war against the Palestinians

Almost NOTHING that we are being told is true. The “prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2) is marshaling his demonic forces together to deceive the world (Revelation 12:9). As with the 9/11 narrative, Covid narrative and the Ukraine war narrative, so, too, the narrative regarding the events of October 7 in Israel is pure deceit.

Writing for TheCradle.co, Robert Inlakesh and Sharmine Narwani report:

Two weeks after the Hamas breakout assault on Israel on 7 October, a clearer picture of what happened – who died, and who killed – is now beginning to emerge.

Instead of the wholescale massacre of civilians claimed by Israel, incomplete figures published by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz show that almost half the Israelis killed that day were in fact combatants – soldiers or police.

In the interim, two weeks of blanket western media reporting that Hamas allegedly killed around 1,400 Israeli civilians during its 7 October military attack has served to inflame emotions and create the climate for Israel’s unconstrained destruction of the Gaza Strip and its civilian population.

Accounts of the Israeli death toll have been filtered and shaped to suggest that a wholesale civilian massacre occurred that day, with babies, children, and women the main targets of a terror attack.

Now, detailed statistics on the casualties released by the Israeli daily Haaretz paint a starkly different picture. As of 23 October, the news outlet has released information on 683 Israelis killed during the Hamas-led offensive, including their names and locations of their deaths on 7 October.

Of these, 331 casualties – or 48.4 percent – have been confirmed to be soldiers and police officers, many of them female. Another 13 are described as rescue service members, and the remaining 339 are ostensibly considered to be civilians.

While this list is not comprehensive and only accounts for roughly half of Israel’s stated death toll, almost half of those killed in the melee are clearly identified as Israeli combatants.

There are also so far no recorded deaths of children under the age of three, which throws into question the Israeli narrative that babies were targeted by Palestinian resistance fighters. Of the 683 total casualties reported thus far, seven were between the ages of 4 and 7, and nine between the ages of 10 and 17. The remaining 667 casualties appear to be adults.

The numbers and proportion of Palestinian civilians and children among those killed by Israeli bombardment over the past two weeks – over 5,791 killed, including 2,360 children and 1,292 women, and more than 18,000 injured – are far higher than any of these Israeli figures from the events of 7 October.

Aviva Klompas, a former speechwriter for the Israeli mission to the UN, was the first Israeli of note to spread the claim that there were reports of “Israeli girls being raped and their bodies dragged through the street.”

She posted this on X at 9:18 PM (Palestine time), on 7 October, although an op-ed Klompa published with Newsweek at 12:28 AM (Palestine time), on 8 October, made no mention of any sexual violence.

Klompas is also the co-founder of Boundless Israel, a “think-action tank” that works “to revitalize Israel education and take bold collective action to combat Jew-hatred.” An “unapologetically Zionist” charitable group that works to promote Israeli narratives on social media.

The Hamas plan

There is little to no credible evidence that Palestinian fighters had a plan to – or deliberately sought to – kill or harm unarmed Israeli civilians on 7 October. From the available footage, we witness them engaging primarily with armed Israeli forces, accounting for the deaths of hundreds of occupation soldiers.

More questions than answers

It is essential to recognize that in many reports by western journalists on the ground, the majority of information regarding the actions of Hamas fighters comes from the Israeli army – an active participant in the conflict.

Emerging evidence now indicates that there is a high probability, especially due to the scale of the infrastructural damage, that Israeli military forces could have deliberately killed captives, fired on incorrect targets, or mistaken Israelis for Palestinians in their firefights. If the only source of information for a serious claim made is the Israeli army, then it has to be taken into account that they have reason to conceal cases of friendly fire.

Israeli friendly fire was rampant, even in the days that followed, from an army with very little actual combat experience. In the city of Ashkelon (Askalan) on 8 October, Israeli soldiers shot dead and shouted insults at the body of a man they believed to have been a Hamas fighter, yet later realized they had executed a fellow Israeli. This is just one of three such examples of friendly fire in one day, resulting in the killing of Israelis by their own troops.

In the meantime, Palestinian civilians in Gaza endure ongoing, indiscriminate attacks with the most sophisticated heavy weapons in existence, living under the persistent threat of forced and potentially irreversible displacement. This Israeli air blitz was made possible only by the flood of unsubstantiated ‘Hamas atrocities’ stories that media began to circulate on and after 7 October.

I encourage you to read the entire report.

Of course, the propaganda of Hamas trying to “wipe out” Israel—along with the Israeli-contrived stories of Hamas atrocity—instantly made the entire news media, political establishment and evangelical churchdom jump into the same bed: all of them making love with the darling of deception, darkness and destruction: Zionist Israel.

Evangelical preachers quickly dusted off their notes from Darby, Scofield, Larkin and LaHaye and began saturating the airways with the “signs” of Jesus’ return and how everyone must come to the aid of Netanyahu’s apartheid state.

One would think that people would catch on to this charade at some point. These phony prophecy preachers use the same Bible verses to make the same worn-out predictions about Israel and the Second Coming year in and year out, decade in and decade out.

Furthermore, one would think that someone would ask the question: Wait a minute! According to Scofield Futurism, before Jesus can return, the “antichrist” is going to appear on the global stage and make a peace treaty with Israel, which he will break. Upon which, he will begin a wholesale slaughter of the Israeli people (Darbyites call them “Jews”). Only then, at the last minute, like the 7th Cavalry coming to rescue the doomed settlers from the savage Indians, Jesus comes.

So, the question is: If this is the way all of this must happen (because that’s what the Book of Revelation teaches), then why all the fuss and bother by evangelicals to come to Israel’s assistance? Are they not impotently interfering with God’s plan?

Oh! That’s right! They aren’t going to be here for all of that, because they will be “raptured” to Heaven beforehand.

Still, evangelicals have made Israel an idol. Their very faith system depends on Israel. Take away Israel, and most evangelicals no longer have a faith system. Yet, the evangelical belief system regarding Israel demands that the “antichrist” rise up and slaughter it before Christ returns.

So, the thinking goes something like this: We can’t let Hamas or Hezbollah or Syria or Iran destroy Israel; we must make sure that only the “antichrist” does it. “So, why can’t Hamas be the ‘antichrist’?” you ask. Because the evangelicals haven’t been “raptured” yet, Silly.

Folks, don’t try to make sense out of Scofield Futurism; it is a nonsensical fairytale.

The point is: Here we go again with the mainstream media, political parties on both sides of the aisle and evangelicals everywhere all uniting together in Covid/Ukraine lockstep for the Israel war narrative.

Even the new “conservative” Speaker of the House, Michael Johnson, is singing from the same sheet of music.

Here is Ron Paul:

Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson has been chosen as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, ending the three-week drama. Representative Johnson has a reputation as a fiscal and social conservative. He has at times opposed funding the Ukraine war, suggesting he may be open to non-interventionist arguments or at least unwilling to give the military-industrial complex a blank check. However, he also supports giving Israel “whatever it needs” to defeat Hamas. [Meaning Johnson is another Zionist-bought U.S. politician.]

Speaker Johnson has suggested that another short-term continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown may be necessary to ensure the House is not pressured into passing an omnibus spending bill at the end of the year. He has said he wants to pass individual spending bills through the House. This could help restrain spending.

However, Speaker Johnson should not trade away the leverage a potential shutdown gives fiscal conservatives. A Speaker who is truly committed to individual liberty and who understands the urgent need to cut government spending would be willing to shut down the government if that is what it takes to get Congress to make real spending cuts. This hypothetical pro-liberty Speaker would refuse to bring any bill increasing any spending in any area to the House floor unless it offsets the spending increases with equal or greater spending cuts.

A pro-liberty Speaker would work to repeal unconstitutional federal programs, agencies, and departments. Instead of replacing Obamacare with Obamacare Light, a pro-liberty Speaker would work to repeal all federal intervention in healthcare and restore patient control via tax credits and expanded Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Instead of No Child Left Behind 2.0, a pro-liberty Speaker would work to shut down the unconstitutional Department of Education.

A pro-liberty Speaker would form coalitions with antiwar progressives to defund all unconstitutional military operations, bring the troops home, dramatically cut spending on militarism, and forbid funding for wars not declared by Congress [AMEN!]. There could also be a left-right populist coalition formed to end corporate welfare and all other federal regulatory and spending legislation that benefits large financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and other big businesses [AMEN!]. The savings from those cuts could be used to support those dependent on government programs while Congress phases out the welfare state. Also, young people should be allowed to opt out of Social Security and Medicare in exchange for a payroll tax exemption.

A pro-liberty Speaker would only bring legislation to the floor of the House that protects liberty and is constitutional. A pro-liberty Speaker would work to protect the entire Bill of Rights. That means no more PATRIOT Acts, drug wars, civil asset forfeiture, airport harassment, or government-sponsored online censorship [AMEN!]. Instead of responding to mass shootings with thoughts, prayers, and authoritarianism, a pro-liberty Speaker would work to repeal unconstitutional gun control laws that leave innocent Americans defenseless [AMEN!].

Last, but certainly not least, a pro-liberty Speaker would seek to audit and end the Federal Reserve. He should also seek to protect the people’s right to use alternative currencies such as precious metals and cryptocurrency.

The election of a pro-liberty Speaker of the House will not happen until the liberty movement is able to gain more influence in the political climate. This is why all of us who know the truth must continue to spread the ideas of liberty.

Dr. Paul is right: Mike Johnson is not that true pro-liberty Speaker of the House. He begins his tenure as House Speaker proving that he is owned by the same Israeli lobby as the vast majority of congressmen and senators—from both the Republican and Democrat parties.

What was that Yogi Berra said? “It’s deja vu all over again.”

P.S. I encourage readers to watch the two messages I delivered pertaining to the Israeli/Palestinian war.

The first message is entitled Is The Hamas/Israeli War Fulfilling Bible Prophecy? 

The second message is entitled The Wars Of The Jews.

Citizens At The Gates – Chuck Baldwin

Published: Thursday, September 9, 2021

By now, everyone—even Democrats—knows about the immoral and treacherous conduct of Joe Biden’s disgraceful withdrawal from Afghanistan. And also know this: Biden’s withdrawal strategy was not due to incompetence; it was a deliberate act of aiding and abetting the enemy. In other words, it was an act of TREASON.

Here is a sample list of what Biden and his puppet generals intentionally left to the Taliban:

$83 billion in U.S. weapons and equipment, including:

2,000 Armored Vehicles Including Humvees and MRAPs
75,989 Total Vehicles
45 UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters

The Taliban now have more Black Hawk helicopters than 85% of the countries in the world.

50 MD530G Scout Attack Helicopters
ScanEagle Military Drones
30 Military Version Cessnas
4 C-130s
29 A-29 Ground Attack Aircraft
Over 200 aircraft total

At least 600,000 Small arms: M16, M249 SAWs, M24 Sniper Systems, 50 Calibers, 1,394 M203 Grenade Launchers, M134 Mini Gun, 20mm Gatling Guns and Ammunition, and also:

61,000 M203 Rounds
20,040 Grenades
Howitzers
10,000 2.75 inch Air to Ground Rockets
Mortars +1,000’s of Rounds
Explosives Ordnance C-4, Semtex, Detonators, Thermite, Incendiaries
2,520 Bombs

Millions of Rounds of Ammunition including but not limited to 20,150,600 rounds of 7.62mm and 9,000,000 rounds of 50.caliber

(But while Biden has given such a vast military arsenal of weapons of mass destruction to an enemy state, he wants to deny the American people’s lawful access to many basic rifles, pistols and ammunition for our own self-defense. Whose side is Biden really on? Well, I think most of us know the answer to that question.)

162,000 pieces of Encrypted Military Communications Gear
16,000+ Night Vision Goggles
Newest Technology Night Vision Scopes
Thermal Scopes and Thermal Mono Goggles
Reconnaissance Equipment (ISR)
Laser Aiming Units

Large Stockpile of Plate Carriers and Body Armor

Heavy Equipment, Including Bull Dozers, Backhoes, Dump Trucks, Excavators

Pallets with Millions of Dollars in US Currency

Ladies and gentlemen, I repeat: That is not incompetence; that is aiding and abetting the enemy on a massive scale. It is TREASON.

Joe Biden didn’t end a war; he strengthened and fortified the enemy in a way that makes it more dangerous than ever. He emboldened our enemies everywhere, and he disillusioned our friends all over the world. And worse than that: Biden betrayed our fellow American citizens.

Thousands of American citizens were left to endure unspeakable torment in Afghanistan by this callused and criminal president. Untold numbers of them were literally at the gates of the Kabul airport but denied entrance by U.S. troops—following the orders of their commanders, of course.

Here is the revolting report:

The US commanders in charge of evacuation abandoned dozens of American citizens at the gates of Kabul airport amid a chaotic rush to leave Afghanistan, US war correspondent and former special forces soldier Michael Yon told RT.

On August 30, Taliban members delivered a mother with three children as well as 45 other American citizens to the gates of Kabul airport. Three civilian jets, which had been paid for by volunteers, were waiting for them at the airfield.

“We still had time to get them on… but the US military wasn’t letting even civilian Americans with passports… on the base,” Yon said. The media had also been ejected from the airport, so there was no one left to record what was going on, he added.

According to Yon, the fighters from Taliban special operations unit Badri 313 guarding the airfield said that they would let the Americans through the gates if the US military came to pick them up, or at least phone over to give an order to let them through.

Yon said he called all his contacts in the armed forces to get the group through and reach those in charge of the evacuation to persuade them to open the gates and let the Americans board the planes.

“But the military simply wouldn’t let them through. Of course, the military was blaming it on the Department of State,” he said, adding that at the time the government was telling the public that any Americans who didn’t get through had not made it to the airport.

One unnamed US army colonel with knowledge of the evacuation process, who exchanged messages with Yon, was especially frustrated by the chaotic situation.

In one screenshot shared by Yon, the colonel wrote: “Yes, we are . . . abandoning American citizens.”

While not physically at the airport, that colonel was “demonstrating a lot of frustration” and at one point asked “Can you ram the gate?” In other words, Yon said, he was suggesting hitting the gate with a car to get the people through. “I mean, he wanted to rescue those people,” but his supervisors regrettably didn’t share the sentiment.

Yon later wrote a letter to one of the US commanders at the airport, directly blaming her for abandoning Americans.

“You guys left American citizens at the gates of the Kabul airport. Three empty jets paid by volunteers were waiting for them,” the message read, adding sarcastically: “Great job saving yourselves. Probably get a lot of medals.”

Claims from the White House and Pentagon that Americans were only left because they could not reach the airport were “bulls**t,” according to Yon. “They definitely were at the gate. Period.” 

For Biden and the rest of the Satanists who are trying to ram Covid gene therapy shots into our arms and who are destroying virtually every foundational freedom upon which America was built to tell us that all of this Covid tyranny is an effort to protect us has to be the biggest lie of the 21st century.

Every time you hear a media, medical or government propagandist tell you that the Covid tyranny is an attempt to save us, remember the thousands of American citizens that our government—led by Joe Biden—abandoned to the enemy and to a life of torture and death in Afghanistan.

I promise you, dear friends, that the U.S. government cares no more for you and me than it does for our fellow Americans in Afghanistan. The Covid narrative is not a cure; it is a cage.

DON’T EVER FORGET IT!

In addition, let’s not forget that while American citizens were abandoned by their own country, the 100,000 Afghans that are being processed into the United States (at a starting cost of over 6 billion taxpayer dollars) are NOT the Afghanis that risked their lives to help our U.S. fighting men in Afghanistan. As our own U.S. citizens were abandoned by Biden, so were these good-hearted and courageous Afghanis. No, the 100,000 Afghans that are being planted in the United States are “others.”

Given the treasonous track record of this government, I think it fair to speculate that there are tens of thousands of potential terrorists that Joe Biden is transplanting to the U.S. Not only has Biden facilitated additional war overseas, he has facilitated potential war right here in our own country.

Plus, I cannot leave this discussion without pointing out the gross hypocrisy of “Christian leaders” such as Franklin Graham.

Several evangelical notables such as Graham have been all over the media asking Christians in America to pray for the Christians left behind in Afghanistan. Most certainly, I share the prayerful concern for these trapped believers—along with hundreds of people of all faiths that were sacrificed on Biden’s bloody altar of globalism.

However, where are Graham and the rest of the evangelical “leaders” in this country asking Christians to pray for our fellow believers (and people of other faiths) being brutalized, tortured, maimed and murdered in Gaza and the West Bank by the bloodthirsty barbarians of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces)?

They are not only completely silent on the suffering and death of our Christian brothers and sisters in Palestine, they enthusiastically support and promote the “success” of the aggressor-state of Israel that is committing these acts of barbarity.

If Graham and Company had any semblance of intellectual and moral honesty, they would have to support the vile and villainous Taliban in Afghanistan in the same way that they support the vile and villainous State of Israel. In fact, between the two, the acts of cruelty and criminality committed by Israel far surpass those of the Taliban.

This is yet another example of how the devilish doctrines of Israel-based prophetic futurism—including the “Rapture” myth—contained in the notes of the Scofield Reference Bible have deluded the minds and deadened the hearts of millions of evangelical Christians.

Where is Franklin Graham’s compassion for the Christians at the gates in Palestine?

P.S. Requests for the following new product grow every week and have exceeded all possible expectations. Accordingly, I am super-excited to make this announcement once again:

I was recently interviewed by Rashad Leonce on Changing The Narrative podcast. The title of the interview: Is The Modern State Of Israel Biblical And Should Christians Support It?

This is the VERY BEST interview on the subject of Biblical Israel that I have ever had. Rashad did a fantastic job of interviewing. He asked the right questions with a genuine seeking spirit and allowed me the time needed to fully answer the questions.

Accordingly, we are offering this audio interview on CD without cost (except for shipping and handling), as I believe this is the BEST resource to give to a friend or loved one in order to introduce them to the subject of the true Biblical teaching of Israel. It can be considered the FIRST primer for anyone unfamiliar with the subject.

I suggest that you listen to the free online audio version first. And if you feel it would be a suitable tool to give to friends and loved ones, order the CDs to give away. The CDs come in lots of 5 and 10.

Listen to the MP3 file of the interview here.

Run time: 44 minutes.

You can download the MP3 file here.

Please listen to this audio interview and then order as many CDs as you can for your friends and loved ones. I truly believe this is the BEST introduction to the subject of Biblical Israel that you could give to those who have a limited knowledge of the topic but who have a seeker’s heart.

Trump’s Deal With The Devil

Published: Thursday, January 30, 2020

Donald Trump’s so-called Deal of the Century unveiled this past Tuesday is actually a deal with the devil. This so-called Middle East Peace Plan would more accurately be called the “Permanent Palestinian Enslavement Act”—otherwise known as the “Save Benjamin Netanyahu’s Derriere Act.”

On the very day that Netanyahu was formally indicted on corruption charges by the Israeli Knesset, Donald Trump rolls out his “Deal of the Century” Middle East peace plan. As with Trump’s assassination of General Soleimani, this is nothing but a ploy to try and save Trump’s partner in crime and fellow Zionist, Benjamin Netanyahu—and to further endear himself to the much beguiled Christian Zionists within America’s evangelical voting bloc.

The people who live under the yoke of Israeli oppression in Palestine, however, know exactly what this is all about. And they rightly reject it.

United States President Donald Trump‘s Middle East plan, also known as the “Deal of the Century,” has been denounced by the Palestinians as a “new Balfour Declaration”.

Trump revealed his plan on Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing by his side at the White House. [The Palestinians were conveniently left out of the negotiations.]

Trump led his statement by introducing the Israeli side of the plan, announcing that Jerusalem will remain the “undivided capital” of Israel, adding that this has “already been done”.

He also said he hoped to implement the plan “immediately”.

Netanyahu, speaking after Trump, thanked the US president for a “historic day” and said the plan would see Israeli law implemented in the occupied West Bank’s Jordan Valley as a means to ensuring the security of Israel.

Fakhry Abu Diab, a Palestinian activist in Silwan neighbourhood in East Jerusalem, told Al Jazeera: “It is obvious that Trump is repeating history by establishing new Balfour Declaration.

“He [Trump] is giving away what he does not own, to people who have no right to it,” said Abu Diab.

Following Britain’s pledge to establish “a national home for the Jewish people,” the Balfour Declaration was issued on November 2, 1917. It turned the Zionist aim of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine into a reality.

“This deal only secures Israeli interests while violating international law and some of the main pillars of a Palestinian state – Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley.

“After decades of sacrificing our lives for this cause, we want our freedom and a Palestinian state along the 1967 border, not some economic gains.

“We completely reject this plan and will continue to fight it,” he added. (Source)

The Palestinians are absolutely right: This is merely another Balfour Declaration—which was nothing more than a conspiracy orchestrated by 19th and 20th century Zionists to steal land belonging to the indigenous Arab people in a demonic attempt to overturn God’s divine judgment on the city of Jerusalem and the Jewish temple in 70 AD—a judgment that had been prophesied by Old Testament prophets, John the Baptist, the Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles. In actuality, Zionism is nothing more than a 2,000-year blood feud with God for destroying their holy city and their holy temple.

Trump’s “two-state solution” for the Palestinians is analogous to the way Nazi Germany forced Jews into the Warsaw ghettos. “Be good little slaves and accept our total domination over you, eat your bread and water and live in squalid conditions, and maybe we won’t kill you.” THAT is Trump’s “two-state solution,” his “Deal of the Century.”

Without a doubt, Gaza is the Auschwitz of our time.

Palestinians shouted back, “Jerusalem is not for sale!”

Trump released a “conceptual map” of his two-state solution on Twitter after his speech, showing a much-reduced West Bank honeycombed with Israeli settlements. While these ethnically-segregated outposts are illegal under international law, the peace plan recognizes them as permanent – though imposes a four-year freeze on construction of further settlements. A tunnel connects the West Bank and Gaza, and two chunks of desert land in Israel’s southwest are added to Palestine, connected by a tiny strip of land to Gaza.

The deal situates the proposed capital of the Palestinian state in East Jerusalem outside an existing security barrier that divides Arab neighborhoods from the rest of Jerusalem – but does not include the Old City, currently home to many of the city’s Palestinian residents.

While Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu was standing beside Trump as he detailed the proposed plan, no Palestinian representative was present at the speech. Abbas’ Palestinian Authority preemptively scorned the deal, having cut off communications with Washington since the US moved its embassy to Jerusalem – an outcome Trump appears to have expected, telling reporters the day before unveiling the deal that the Palestinians “probably won’t want it initially.” However, he hinted, economic pressure would eventually bring them round. (Source)

Like most unprincipled money-hungry Americans—including “Prosperity Gospel” fakers like Paula White and Kenneth Copeland—Donald Trump suffers from the delusion (moral sickness) that everyone is like him and will sell their soul for a dollar. Trump and his ilk have absolutely no idea how to relate to people who possess real convictions and principles and cannot be bought or bullied. You know, people like our Early Church fathers and America’s Founding Fathers.

Tragically, evangelical Christians are following the Pied Pipers of Zionism into the abyss.

I’ll say it straight out: Anyone who believes that the modern State of Israel fulfills Bible prophecy or that the Zionists in Israel are “God’s Chosen People” or that God’s promise in Genesis 12:3 to bless those who bless Abram applies to modern Israel is following Satan’s lie.

The modern State of Israel is a complete counterfeit; the Ashkenazi Jews inhabiting Palestine are only “chosen” if they—like every other person on the planet, Jew or Gentile—have been “chosen in Christ” (Ephesians 1:4). And the Rothschild Zionists (who are the planners, promoters and financial pockets of a globalist New World Order, complete with its efforts to strip free men of their right to keep and bear arms, implement universal abortion-on-demand, fill our culture with pornography and sexual deviancy and destroy America’s Christian heritage) are nothing more than the spiritual descendants of the Pharisees, chief priests and scribes who hated and crucified the Son of God for their own personal pleasure and profit. (Matthew 27:18, 20; Mark 11:17, 18; 15:11; Luke 16:14; 23:21; John 11:48; 19:6, 15; Acts 2:22, 23)

Any Christian or “patriot” who does not understand that the epicenter of the New World Order has coalesced in Tel Aviv (and in London and Washington, D.C., of course) doesn’t have a clue about the New World Order or the “Deep State.”

The worst tyrants and oppressors in the Middle East are in Tel Aviv and Beersheba. The criminality, killings, torture, pillage and plunder committed by the Israelis dwarfs the violence and bloodshed committed by Muslim peoples—Shiites or Sunnis. Even the murderous Wahhabi sect of Muslims can’t compare to the volume of Israeli atrocities.

Since becoming a state in 1948, the Israeli military has killed over 5 million Palestinians. Why is that not labeled a holocaust? And since Israel became a state, over 20 million people have been killed from U.S. led wars, military coups and intelligence ops, mostly on behalf of Israel. Why is that not labeled a holocaust?

If America’s evangelicals want to support “God’s people” in Palestine, they will support the Palestinian Christians—along with Arab Christians throughout the region. Yes, many of the Palestinians being victimized by Israel’s apartheid state are our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Yet America’s evangelical Christians are cheering Trump’s deal with the devil of enabling Netanyahu and his brood of bloodthirsty butchers to expand Israel’s continuing criminal conduct of stealing people’s land, bulldozing people’s homes, imprisoning people’s families, shooting children in the head for sport, walling in, starving and denying water and electricity to entire communities and wreaking havoc and violence upon the entire Middle East. Why? Because evangelicals have fallen victim to the damnable notes promoting Israel-based prophetic futurism in the Zionist-created Scofield Reference Bible.

After the State of Israel was created in 1948, Scofield’s notes were seen as divinely inspired. And Israel’s land grab of the Jordanian West Bank, the Syrian Golan Heights and the Egyptian Sinai in 1967 sealed the deal for evangelicals.

Christians didn’t even notice that Israel tried to sink the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967, with unmarked French Mirage jets to make it appear the ship was attacked by Egypt in an attempt to bring the United States into the war. Christians didn’t even notice that 34 American sailors and Marines were killed in that attack and 174 were wounded. And to this day, they totally ignore the brave survivors of that attack who risk everything to try and tell the American people what really happened on that terrible day.

Combined with the creation of the Israeli state in 1948, the Six Day War in 1967 was interpreted by prophecy preachers nationwide as a sign from Heaven. Israel’s victory was called a “miracle.” Of course, the REAL miracle during the Israeli act of aggression and land confiscation of 1967 was the divine intervention that kept the USS Liberty afloat on June 8. But that didn’t fit in with the Scofield prophecy preachers’ theology, so that miracle was never mentioned.

Soon “Prophetic Dispensationalism,” as it came to be called, saturated America’s Christian colleges, seminaries and Christian book stores. The “Church Growth” movement of the 1970s, 80s and 90s quickly enveloped America’s evangelicals. Of course, most of the “Church Growth” movement had a heavy emphasis on Israel, prophecy and the “imminent” return of Christ.

In the minds of evangelical futurists today, Donald Trump is a new King Cyrus for a Greater Israel.

There is no reasoning with these prophecy zealots. There is no use quoting the Declaration of Independence, Constitution or Bill of Rights. There is no such thing as Natural Law, International Law or the Law of Nations with them. America’s Founding Fathers and founding documents are completely irrelevant, as are honesty, integrity, morality and humility. None of it matters. Scofield’s prophecies have been fulfilled in Donald Trump.

Old Testament Israel has been reborn; a third Jewish temple MUST be rebuilt; the Mosaic feasts, festivals, new moons, rites, ordinances, commandments, sacrifices and sabbaths MUST be reinstituted. Donald Trump is “The Chosen One.” He is “God’s Anointed.” Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and Nikki Haley are the new Holy Trinity. And Robert Jeffress, Jerry Falwell Jr., John Hagee, Kenneth Copeland, Paula White and Franklin Graham—along with Trump’s myriad “spiritual advisors”—are the new Kingdom Prophets who sit at the King’s table.

Assassinating foreign heads of state, enabling Federal Reserve bankers to crush foreign currencies and economies that reject their financial monopoly, stealing oil fields from recalcitrant but powerless countries, pillaging and plundering America’s economic future in order to finance the never-ending Zionist “war on terror,” bullying every nation on earth that hesitates to accept the American/Israeli global hegemony, risking global nuclear war: In the minds of evangelical rapturists, it’s all necessary to fulfill Scofield’s prophecies.

Yep! Donald Trump’s “Deal of the Century” is nothing more than an old-fashioned deal with the devil. Then again, many evangelical Christians and former presidents have made that same deal over the past 70+ years.

P.S. This is the message you won’t hear in the vast majority of America’s evangelical churches. This message will explain the Zionist blood feud against God and why most Christians have completely misinterpreted the truth of God’s Word by embracing Israel-based prophetic futurism. You will probably never hear another message like it. Find it here.

The Syrian War: America’s “War on Terror” Exposed

Syria’s Foreign Minister Walid Muallem recently described the US as using the so-called “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria” (ISIS) as “a scarecrow” the US uses to menace targeted nations all while secretly encouraging, protecting, and helping them “move from one area to another.”

Maullum’s comments perfectly encapsulate the twenty-plus year so-called “War on Terror” the US has used to expand itself across the globe militarily and to serve as a stand-in for legitimate economic and political development both within the United States and between the United States and the international community.

Maullum’s comments come at a time when – despite Washington’s collapsing machinations in Syria – the US is still working to undermine, divide, and destroy the Syrian nation by aiding its enemies while using all political, economic, and military options available to pressure Syria itself.

Muallem was also quoted as saying:

All nations that were victimized by this system need to join forces and resist those sanctions.

In many ways, this is already happening. Russia’s intervention in Syria from 2015 onward is part of growing international momentum working against US special interests, their collective hegemony, and the toxic impact it has had not only on international relations and development, but also on the US itself.

From Convincing Pretext to Obvious State-Sponsored Terrorism 

Following the events of September 11, 2001 the United States embarked on a multi-decade “War on Terror.” Its invasion of Afghanistan was seen and supported by many nations and their respective populations as a necessary and justified means of combating the scourge that allegedly carried out the deadly attacks on 9/11.

By 2003 – after a time of reflection and in the face of an America eager to spread its “War on Terror” across the globe – it became clear that this “War on Terror” was merely a stand-in to continue America’s hegemonic designs pursued during the now concluded Cold War. This included a pretext for NATO’s continued existence and the alliance’s use by Washington as a means of exerting control over Europe as well as using Europe, its people, and resources to exert influence and control across Africa and Eurasia.

By 2011 and the US interventions in Libya and Syria – it was abundantly clear that not only was the “War on Terror” a false pretext, but it was one artificially created and deliberately perpetuated by Washington itself.

This included revelations that the US had been arming and directing the very Al Qaeda terror network and its affiliates allegedly responsible for the 9/11 attacks – using them as a virtual mercenary force to target nations the US sought regime change within.

The so-called “rebels” in Libya were little more than Al Qaeda affiliates – poorly dressed as freedom fighters seeking “democracy.” These same literal terrorists the US armed and aided in overthrowing the Libyan government in 2011 would be shipped to Syria where the US sought to replicate its “success” in Libya against Damascus.

The war in Syria however failed to produce Washington’s desired results – and as the conflict dragged on – through the growth and influence of alternative media – the true nature of America’s “War on Terror” emerged.

It is now common knowledge that the United States and its Saudi, Turkish, and Qatari allies deliberately armed Al Qaeda militants and their affiliates in a bid to destabilize and overthrow the Syrian government. It is now also common knowledge that when this bid failed – the US and its allies created ISIS to serve as both an additional pressure point against Damascus as well as a pretext for direct US military intervention.

Today, the US “War on Terror” exists as a mostly empty narrative long-since exposed. Washington’s continued efforts against Syria have resulted in even its own allies during the early stages of the war abandoning them – including Turkey – a key NATO member – which now is working closer with Russia and increasingly pursuing a foreign policy independently of Washington.

What Lies in the Future

For Washington – a lack of of a better alternative and its insistence on doubling down on a now exposed and impotent narrative reveals to the world a circle of special interests that are desperately and dangerously spiraling out of control.

Nations eager to do business with the United States as a nation are increasingly frustrated by the handful of special interests occupying Wall Street and Washington – preferring to create an alternative global order that either excludes the US or at the very least – leaves it behind as the rest of the world moves on without it.

For nations like Syria – their decision to stand by their allies – including Russia and Iran – has paid off. And because it has – other nations facing similar threats from Washington’s belligerent foreign policy are faced with the easy choice of likewise building ties with reemerging powers like Russia or rising powers like China rather than continuing to capitulate to US pressure.

Growing global momentum means that not only will current US foreign policy continue to fail to produce positive results for the interests directing it – it will fail at an increasingly expotential rate.

For nations like Russia and China who serve as alternative focal points of global power – their success owed to a different forumla of creating and brokering a global balance of power should serve as encouragement to continue in a multipolar direction rather than cave in to the temptation of seizing a hegemonic position as the US did both after the conclusion of World War 2 and again at the end of the Cold War.

The world finds itself at yet another critical juncture where the very face of global relations and international order stand to be redefined. This time it is not Washington who gets to decide – but rather those who have long suffered under US hegemony.

Only time will tell if this alternative global order will learn from America’s mistakes – or merely repeat them.

The collapse of America’s “War on Terror” is a microcosm within the greater collapse of American global hegemony in general. It is a collapse that will cost the US as a nation dearly. It should serve as a stark warning and example driving emerging global powers to learn from America’s mistakes rather than repeat them.

Chuck Baldwin: The War Party Is At It Again

Published: Thursday, June 20, 2019

Trade a Democrat for a Republican; trade a liberal for a conservative: It doesn’t matter. The War Party remains in charge either way. The people who thought they were voting for Donald Trump because he would extricate America from these endless foreign wars should realize by now that he is just another wuss for the War Party.

Donald Trump has expanded America’s bombing wars against Somalia and Syria. He has expanded America’s drone attacks against Pakistan and Yemen. He has expanded America’s ground war in Afghanistan. U.S. wars in Iraq and Libya have never stopped. U.S. wars have killed over 500,000 people (mostly innocent civilians) in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan alone.

Now Trump is sending 1,000 troops to Russia’s border in Poland. He is sending an additional 1,000 troops (the real number could be 5 or 10 times that) to the Middle East. What most of us are not hearing reported is that Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan (CFR) told top national security aides that the Pentagon has plans to send 120,000 U.S. troops to the Middle East. Coincidentally, this is the exact same number of U.S. forces that were used in the invasion of Iraq.

Trump has already sent nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to the Middle East. He has sent the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group to the Middle East. He is sending U.S. warships to the tip of China’s territorial waters. He is sending U.S. military jets and bombers to the tip of Russia’s airspace. He is threatening overt war with Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Iran. At least 5,000 U.S. troops have been rushed to Venezuela’s border-neighbor, Colombia.

In addition, Trump has issued economic sanctions against India, Mexico, Turkey, the European Union (with 28 member states) and, of course, China, Russia, Venezuela and Iran. For anyone who understands the way sanctions work, each of these sanctions, by themselves, could rightly be considered as an act of war. Hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of little children, elderly people, the sick and infirmed, etc., are right now starving to death all over the world as a direct result of Trump’s economic sanctions against their countries. Mr. Trump, have you ever seen a child starve to death?

And, of course, Trump is bypassing Congress to send billions of dollars of sophisticated arms and munitions to the Sunni/Wahhabi terrorist state of Saudi Arabia. Trump is bypassing Congress again to execute wars against Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Iran.

It is no hyperbole to say that Donald Trump sees himself as an emperor, not a president. And Trump is not shy about admitting it. In his recent ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos, Trump bellowed, “I run the country.”

It seems that America’s founders went to a lot of trouble for nothing to create a constitutional republic, because, with the help of evangelical Christians and conservative Republicans, Donald Trump is rapidly—and I do mean rapidly—turning America into a monarchy. But in reality, Trump is more of a mafia don than a monarch. And why not? Trump spent his entire business career learning how to skirt the law, truth, decency, honesty and all things upright from the best cons, killers and thugs in the business: Zionist mafia bosses. And Trump is now their star pupil.

I’m really tired of hearing my Christian conservative friends say that Donald Trump means well, but he just listens to bad advice. Humbug! That miserable attempt at apologizing for Trump is really getting old. Donald Trump knows exactly what he is doing. He is doing what he fully intended to do from day one. He is doing what he was trained all of his life to do.

Donald Trump is the consummate Zionist stooge. He has bewitched Christians and conservatives with his phony religious rhetoric and overt pandering to Israel. Of course, Christians were already poised and ready for a deceiver like Trump to come along. Ever since the end of World War II, America’s evangelical churches have dispensed the devilish and diabolical doctrines of dispensational futurism, which turned them into willing vassals of all things Israel.

Trump’s most influential and trusted staff members have all been Zionist warmongers. I’m talking about Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, National Security Advisor John Bolton (CFR), former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan (CFR), Special Envoy (translate: war planner) to Venezuela Elliott Abrams (CFR), former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland (CFR), Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin (CFR), Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross (Bilderberg), CIA Director Gina Haspel, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Senior Advisor to the President Jared Kushner (Bilderberg), Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, et al.

As an aside, Shanahan caught everyone off guard when he announced last Tuesday that he was leaving the Pentagon. The timing of his departure is most curious. Why would a defense secretary leave his post just as Donald Trump is on the verge of launching at least two wars? There is something significant behind this move. But don’t worry, folks, Trump is replacing Shanahan with another CFR Zionist warmonger, now former secretary of the Army, Mark Esper. But I digress.

Jon Basil Utley writes:

America’s penchant for starting wars [is] very often based upon lies or false premises. False flag operations mean having an attack blamed upon another nation which actually was not the culprit. Syria’s questionable fault for gassing of innocent civilians was used by Washington to bomb its Air Force. Now Secretary of State Pompeo has set us up by publicly stating that any attack on any American soldier in Iraq or Syria would cause America to attack Iran. He’s put every soldier at risk of death by some Israeli or Saudi fanatic.

Both Secretary of State Pompeo and Vice President Pence are profound end times Evangelicals [translate: Israel-based dispensational futurists]. In 2017 I wrote, Iraq, Syria, Iran…Are We To Destroy Iran Next? about the original neo-conservative program to re-mold the Middle East. A main new concern is Trump’s Secretary of State’s strong evangelical beliefs in the end times. The NY Times describes his beliefs [in] The Rapture and the Real World: Pompeo Blends Belief and Policy. The belief is that a stronger and greater Israel will bring about Armageddon sooner and their rapture straight to heaven.

Destroying Iran’s being a threat to Israel is thus seen as helping God’s intentions.

The FT also links to a Guardian article quoting Pompeo, “Pompeo told a church congregation in Wichita three years ago. “It is a never-ending struggle?.?.?.?until the rapture. Be a part of it. Be in the fight.” Pompeo’s actions as a “Christian Zionist” are described in a New Republic article The Christianization of US Foreign Policy.

I know what they were trying to say, but the New Republic article titled The Christianization of US Foreign Policy is badly misnamed. What it should be called is The Judaization of US Foreign Policy, because, for the most part, evangelical Christianity in the U.S. has been completely co-opted by Zionist-Judaism (which is not Judaism at all, but a political/racial supremacist ideology that uses war to force its will upon any country that opposes it).

Philip Giraldi sums up the war doctrine of Mike Pence’s Christian Zionism perfectly:

On May 25th Vice President Mike Pence was the featured speaker at the United States Military Academy commencement. His speech was predictably an encomium celebrating both the diversity and the success of the newly commissioned officers as well as of the system at West Point that had produced them, but it also included interesting insights into how he and the other non-veterans who dominate the policy making in the White House see the military.

Most media commentary on the speech was either shocked or pleasantly surprised by Pence’s prediction that the graduating officers would soon be at war. He said, “It is a virtual certainty that you will fight on a battlefield for America at some point in your life. You will lead soldiers in combat. It will happen. Some of you will join the fight against radical Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq. Some of you will join the fight on the Korean Peninsula and in the Indo-Pacific, where North Korea continues to threaten the peace, and an increasingly militarized China challenges our presence in the region. Some of you will join the fight in Europe, where an aggressive Russia seeks to redraw international boundaries by force. And some of you may even be called upon to serve in this hemisphere.”

Pence’s choice of words is revealing. There is a “virtual certainty” of “fight[ing] on a battlefield for America” and that battlefield is global, including both transnational Islamic terrorism and the western hemisphere. The language implies that American security requires “full spectrum dominance” everywhere. It encompasses traditional national enemies, with a Pyongyang that “threatens peace,” a China that is “militarized,” and a Russia that is both “aggressive” and expansionistic. The soldiers must be prepared to fight “when not if that day comes.”

First of all, it is discouraging to note that Pence believes that a war or wars must take place, and further, one must have to wonder exactly what scenarios are envisioned by Pence, and also presumably by his boss and colleagues, regarding precisely how war against other nuclear powers will play out. Nor does he entertain what would happen when the rest of the world begins to perceive the United States as its enemy due to its willingness to interfere in everyone’s politics. And the American soldiers would die not knowing what they were fighting for, since they would understand from the onset that it had nothing to do with the defense of the United States.

The speech is, in short, a recognition that the Trump Administration sees perpetual war on the horizon, a viewpoint that is particularly alarming as one can quite easily make the case that the United States is not seriously threatened at all by anyone on Pence’s enemies list and is therefore the aggressor. China is a regional power, Russia does not have the resources or will to reestablish the Soviet Union, and North Korea has only limited capability to attack anyone, even if it should choose to do so. Islamic terrorism is largely a creation of the United States in the first place and maintains its potency by the adverse impact of the continued US presence in Muslim lands. And the suggestion that Venezuela and/or Cuba might be a threat to America is, quite frankly, laughable.

If Mike Pence is seriously interested in looking around to see who has been most interested in starting new wars, he should look to gentlemen named Bush and Obama, not to mention his own colleagues John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. And then there are Washington’s feckless allies Israel and Saudi Arabia, who are keen to advance their own interests by means of piles of dead American soldiers.

As I said, trade a Democrat for a Republican; trade a liberal for a conservative: It doesn’t matter. The War Party remains in charge either way.

Here’s one more example: The only current presidential candidate of either party that is truly anti-war is Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi is a four-term congresswoman and a combat veteran of the Iraq War. Again, Philip Giraldi has the story:

In a recent interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, Gabbard doubled down on her anti-war credentials, telling the host that war with Iran would be “devastating,” adding that “I know where this path leads us and I’m concerned because the American people don’t seem to be prepared for how devastating and costly such a war would be… So, what we are facing is, essentially, a war that has no frontlines, total chaos, engulfs the whole region, is not contained within Iran or Iraq but would extend to Syria and Lebanon and Israel across the region, setting us up in a situation where, in Iraq, we lost over 4,000 of my brothers and sisters in uniform. A war with Iran would take far more American lives, it would cost more civilian lives across the region… Not to speak of the fact that this would cost trillions of taxpayer dollars coming out of our pockets to go and pay for this endless war that begs the question as a soldier, what are we fighting for? What does victory look like? What is the mission?”

Due to her strong anti-war convictions, Gabbard is being savagely attacked by her own Democrat Party and is being all but totally censored by the mainstream media.

As I have said over and over: There is only one party in Washington, D.C., and it’s the War Party. And they are at it again.
