Not Forsaken…….

If we are as far along the biblical prophetic timeline as we appear to be, one component of the conditions for such a time is a sudden and aggressive rise in anti-Semitism.  An irrational and mystifying hatred of Israel and all things Jewish.

Speaking at the annual Combat anti-Semitism Movement (CAM) Advisory Board this week, Chairman Natan Sharansky said: “For the last 20 years, we could say anti-Semitism is on the rise, so what makes this year different? In the past, we’ve talked about anti-Semitism on the left, and anti-Semitism on the right. This year it became mainstream.”

And he is right. A day no longer passes without news of the horrific treatment of Jews, especially the orthodox, on city streets around the world. Former chief rabbi of Moscow Pinchas Goldschmidt said a few days ago that Russian Jews should leave Russia or they will face markedly rising anti-Semitism.   Said he; “When we look back over Russian history, whenever the political system was in danger, you saw the governmenttrying to redirect the anger and discontent of the masses towards the Jewish community,” “We saw this in Tsarist times and at the end of the Stalinist regime.

We’re seeing rising anti-Semitism, while Russia is going back to a new kind of Soviet Union, and step by step, the iron curtain is coming down again. This is why I believe the best option for Russian Jews is to leave.”The United Nations General Assembly recently tabled a resolution demanding the International Court of Justice weigh in on the Israeli-Arab Palestinian conflict and Israeli “annexation.”    The resolution is titled “Israeli practices and settlement activities affecting the rights of the Palestinian people and other Arabs of the occupied territories” and calls on the Hague-based ICJ to “render urgently an advisory opinion” on Israel’s “prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of [Arab] Palestinian territory. The mostly hollow protests, and outright fabrications over the rightful claims Israel has to her land have become nothing short of shrill – and now with the formation of a somewhat right wing government under the prime ministership of Bibi Netanyahu – the voices of accusation and contempt in high places have increased alarmingly since the new year began. Should the threats now being breathed in Jerusalem to eradicate Iran’s nuclear programme be carried out the global community will erupt in absolute rage – and she will suddenly find herself further isolated and under enormous condemnation. For those Jews wise enough to know their scriptures great comfort will come from these words spoken by their God for these days; “Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus says the LORD that made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon your descendants, and my blessing upon your offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the watercourses”. “One shall say, I am the Lord’s, and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write on his hand, The LORD’S, and surname himself by the name of Israel. The LORD Only is God. Thus says the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God”. “And who, as I do, shall call, and shall proclaim it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show these unto them.  Fear not, neither be afraid: have not I told you from that time, and have declared it? You are even my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.” [Isaiah 44] “Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the fixed order of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who divides the sea when its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: If those fixed orders depart from before me, says the LORD, then the descendants of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever”  [Jeremiah 31;36].

During a visit to northern Israeli border, Netanyahu sends a Warning to Iran, Hezbollah ……..

On a Tuesday visit to Israel’s Northern Command headquarters in Safed, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran and its Lebanese terrorist proxy, Hezbollah, of the Jewish state’s “red lines” concerning their military build-up on Israel’s northern borders.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant accompanied the prime minister as the Israeli Defence Forces prepared for an artillery exercise along Israel’s border with Lebanon and Syria.

Communicating Israel’s complex security challenges through a strategic lens, Netanyahu presented the Islamic Republic of Iran and its international terrorist proxy network as its primary foe.

“The main enemy we are facing is the terror regime in Iran and its satellites in Syria and Lebanon,” Netanyahu said, vowing to fight against Tehran’s plans to develop nuclear weapons and entrench itself against Israel’s northern border in Syria.

“We are determined to fight Iran’s attempts to develop a nuclear arsenal. We are determined to fight any attempt by Iran to entrench itself on our northern military frontier in Syria. We are determined to fight all attempts by Hezbollah to show aggression against us from Lebanon,” Netanyahu said.

“Those who need to be given a reminder of our red lines in this matter will receive it,” the Israeli premier warned.

Iran to Receive Russian Fighter Jets………..

Russia is preparing to send a full squadron of 24 Sukhoi Su-35 fighters to their good friends in Iran. It has been decades since Tehran has acquired new fighter jets, and these highly manoeuvrable aircraft, which will be based in nuclear hub Isfahan, are sure to bolster their flagging air force. This military deal is another sign of the growing relationship between the two countries – a friendship that is necessary for the coming Ezekiel 38 war.

Russian Navy Suddenly Heads to Sea…..

Russian Navy ships and submarines have suddenly left their base at Novorossiysk, in the Black Sea, en-masse.

This is highly unusual and many fear that this is a change in tactics. The Western Press keeps trying to paint Russia as losing the war so, quite frankly, they can get more people to volunteer to join the military if they think they are on the winning side. 

There is no question that the US and Russia are waging the most intense confrontation since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. This is the beginning of a new period as we head into World War III.

The hardliners are not happy in Russia and President Vladimir Putin is being pushed into a corner.  Either he gets more aggressive, or there could be a coup by May.

The hardliners are using nuclear threats and other escalations in what they know is now really a proxy war of the USA and NATO against Russia using Ukraine as the pawn they are willing to sacrifice. NATO troops will not venture in until the last Ukrainian dies on the battlefield.

Washington is wielding its own array of pressures to paint Putin as a loser as Octavian did to Mark Antony. The good news is that, so far, both strategies have been very carefully calibrated. The bad news is that America and Russia are still on a collision course because the end goal is actually to conquer Russia.

Sweden has now escalated its draft. Poland is building its army of up to 250,000 men. All of this is based on the expectation that Ukraine can reduce the Russian army and that will make it a cakewalk to invade Russia and drive tanks from Poland right into Moscow.

Sweden was preparing by boosting military spending by around 40% over the five years from 2016 and doubling the numbers conscripted into the armed forces as it looks to beef up its defence amid growing tensions with Russia post-2014.

Meanwhile, France, Italy, Latvia and Lithuania scrapped conscription as they concluded that large-scale defence was no longer necessary before 2014, but now they have all reversed policies.

The Joe Biden administration pledged to defend “every inch” of NATO territory. That has complicated matters for Putin to interfere with Ukraine’s supply lines through Romania and Poland.

The Western Press keeps pitching the same propaganda that Putin is spiralling toward defeat in Ukraine and may not survive that outcome politically. The hardliners are there and waiting and if Putin does not become more aggressive, they may indeed replace him by May and then all hell will break loose.

Meanwhile,  NATO is to deploy Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) surveillance planes to Otopeni airfield near the Romanian capital of Bucharest as of January 17. The aircraft, diverted from the NATO fleet in Germany, will support the Alliance’s reinforced presence in the region and monitor Russian military activity

New Israeli Military road slices across SW Syria to seal Golan against Iran/Hizballah incursion……….

IDF bulldozers are finishing a military road cutting through south-eastern Syria to guard Israeli Golan from incursion by advancing Hizballah and other pro-Iranian groups.

The machines are escorted by half a dozen Merkava tanks and units of the Sufa infantry unit. Dubbed “Sufa 53,” the new road runs from the foot of Mount Hermon, turns west past the town of Ain al-Tinah to the north of Quneitra, passes through the town of Jubata al-Kashab and continues all the way to the countryside south of Quneitra on the Syrian Golan.

It runs to a depth of between several metres and one kilometre inside Syrian territory.

A large placard, [see photo], warns people to keep their distance from the new road. Trespassers are wont to encounter Israeli fire.

Local anti-Assad militias and factions have pitched in to secure the project, supplied by Israel with weapons and intelligence. Some of their officers have moved their families across the border into Israel for their protection.

The new road therefore acts as a visible barrier for countering the further advance towards Israel’s Golan border by Hizballah and other pro-Iranian militias, who have established a presence in southern Syria and often use Syrian military positions – or even uniforms – to disguise their presence.

Up to 5,000 Soldiers to be Deployed to Secure Upcoming WEF Meeting with Klaus Schwab in Davos…….

What are they so afraid of????

With one week to go until the who’s who of the most radical globalists descend upon the picturesque ski resort town of Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting, up to 5,000 soldiers from the Swiss army will be deployed to offer military support to the civil authorities of the canton of Graubünden, who are responsible for securing the summit’s premises and its participants.

In a statement released Friday, January 6th, the Swiss Defence Department (VBS) said that the Federal Assembly, the country’s parliament, had approved the deployment of the Swiss army contingent to ensure the security of thousands of participants, private-jetting into the area, the Swiss German-language newspaper Blick reports.

This year’s deployment is part of a three-year commitment, from 2022 to 2024, by Parliament to support these high profile civic activities.

As per usual, the annual summit will be presided over by Klaus Schwab, the chairman of the WEF, who has repeatedly boasted about his organization having “penetrated” government cabinets across the world.

The gathering, comprised of the ‘elites’ from the political, financial, scientific, cultural, and mainstream press sectors, will take place from January 16th to the 20th. Some 3,000 participants are expected to attend.

The full official guest list, however, is still unknown to the public. Some days ago, in preparation for the five-day summit, the Swiss army began construction work in and around the venue to bolster the premises’ security

The theme of this year’s WEF summit is “Cooperation in a Fragmented World.”  Tha fragmentation  being by their own hand of course

As has been the case in past years, anti-WEF protests are expected to take place next week. Two requests for permission to demonstrate against the summit have been submitted to the town of Davos, one of the town’s administrative officials told the Swiss press.
