Hello All,

Haven't posted for a couple of months and I'm sorry about that. I hope to be posting with more regularity from this time on.

There have obviously been significant things going on in various places since my last post, but this is just a little background about Ukraine.

The biggest capture in the warzone since July would be the regional city of Chasiv Yar, long fought-over, bitterly contested and whose status was disputed until recently, as it gradually emerged that the Russians had indeed ground down the city's defenders and assumed control of the city.

Now, the Russians are apparently close to seizing control of the similarly-sized city of Kupiansk, while eyeing off the bigger city of Pokrovsk in the mid-to-longer turn.

On the whole, while the overall war is still something of a stalemate, the advantage is clearly with the Russians who are not only inching forward methodically, but have more manpower and capacity to sustain overall operations on a longer term basis.

Moreover, various credible analysts are also observing that Russia is starting to gain the ascendancy in technology, tactics, logistics and the like, even as tit-for-tat drone and rocket strikes continue.

Despite talk, there appears to be no real interest in Moscow, Kiev, Washington, London, Paris, Berlin, etc, to end the war.

Meanwhile, roughly 200,000 Russians and well over 500,000 Ukrainians have been killed, with no end in sight to the killing, while the nation of Ukraine itself has been all but destroyed and will never be the same again.

Below is a link to an oldish article, from early August or so, which at the time of its release put the fall of Chasiv Yar into context.

I plan to post again very soon with a fresh update.

Hi again,

No huge developments in Ukraine since I last wrote. The biggest story in recent times seems to be the alleged violations of NATO countries' air space through drones and potentially even manned aircraft.

Depending on who you ask, it's either legitimate Russian provocation on the one hand, or staged US/European agitation/hand-wringing on the other.

Overall, the Military-industrial complex rumbles on regardless of who the current US president may be.

The Ukraine War continues, despite initial pledges by the candidate Trump to end the killing 'within 24 hours'. Moreover, Trump recently said he believed Ukraine could reconquer all territory and even take parts of Russia. And please, don't give me the '4D chess spiel' here.

Also, the globalist-backed terrorist leader of Syria, who was once literally a member of al-Queda, recently attended a UN meeting in New York, and was given the red carpet treatment by the globalist/Washington Establishment.

To top it all off, the US regime change agenda against Venezuela is moving into a higher gear. Remember, it has nothing to do with whether the target country/leader is good, bad or indifferent. The only thing that matters is the globalist agenda, and removal of entities/parties that are not good-enough puppets.

The US agenda against Venezuela has been going over 20 years, and has featured constant agitation, aggression, propaganda and stunts- not to mention collossal criminality and theft against the Venezuelan state.

More recently, this globalist/Washington regime change agenda has been waged under the guise of anti-narco operations.

Several small Venezuelan vessels have recently been blown out of the water by US forces, with US authorities alleging that the boats were drug-laden.

Now, there are mainstream media reports that the US government/military are preparing air strikes against Venezuela, again under the guise of 'targeting drug people/cartels', etc.

Of course, it's quite similar to the same playbook that is roled out every time. If it's not about fighting drugs, it's about weapons of mass destruction, or stopping the targeted government from 'killing its own people', etc. (The word 'people' here being codeword for armed US-backed terrorists wreaking havoc across the targetted country).

Hello Everyone,

Tensions are being escalated by the US regime against Venezuela.

As mentioned in the previous post, Washington/The Globalists are using the guise of a war against narcotics to justify their broader plot against Venezuela.

Another regime change operation seems to be in the works, under the warmonger Trump who is little different to Biden, who is little different to Obama, who is little different to Bush, to Clinton, to Bush, to Regan, etc.

Below this paragraph is a link to a new report about this looming aggression:

Hello Friends,

I'm so happy I can post again. Couldn't post for the last month-plus, although I've been wanting to. I was either blocked from doing so, or it was a technical issue. This website itself had not blocked me so, if there was some kind of block put on, it was from an external source. But I'm also open to the possibility that it was indeed just a technical thing. Praise God that I can share some thoughts with you again.

There are some thoughts to share with you regarding topics like Trump and Israel, which are sacred cows to many evangelicals. I'm not mocking you if you are one such Christian. I was once very pro-Israel and very pro-Trump. I still know people, genuine Christians, who are pro-Israel and pro-Trump.

All I'm urging you to do is be discerning and keep Jesus first. And yes, this is something that I frequently need to remind myself of, too. On Israel, it's quite conceivable that God has plans for it. I have never questioned its right to exist. But I know for a fact that some Christians are so hot for Israel, they don't care when it does clearly evil things. They don't care when it literally teams up with al-Queda and ISIS, which it did during the Arab Spring. They don't care when its soldiers literally gang-rape a (male) Palestinian captive, which happened a couple of years ago. They don't care when the IDF lure Palestinians into a large huddle, through offering to hand out food and supplies, then deliberately bomb them once they've huddled into a big line or group.

Israel does hideous things. Yes, whenever the opportunity arises, so do its enemies. No doubt. But I'm just encouraging you again to be discerning, and not one of those people who gets angry when 'the other side' does something bad, but suddenly don't care when 'your side' does something equally bad or worse. I'm encouraging you to have real justice and fairness in your hearts. And again, it's something I need to be constantly encouraged to have as well.

So, does Israel have a right to exist? I believe so. Does God still have end times plans for it? I believe it's quite possible. Is it a 'moral' country? No; to think such a thing is unbiblical. Is Netanyahu a good guy? No, the evidence doesn't support that. He's sinister, and it's in his best interests to keep perpetual war going, to keep his own potential scandals at arm's length.

There is currently a lot of unrest in Iran. There is little doubt that it has its roots in a mixture of bad governance in Iran, and also foreign incitement and street-level provocations, with the USA and Israel the obvious main suspects. Netanyahu has long agitated for regime change in Iran, as he had done for many other regional countries before that (largely getting his wishes fulfilled in places like Iraq, Libya, Syria). Iran is obviously the top prize. Does this mean Iran is good? As I've stated many times over the years- whether a nation is good, bad or indifferent is totally irrelevant. The only relevant thing is that if a nation is targeted by the military-industrial complex and its allies for removal, it must be removed at all costs.

This brings me to Trump, and what a disappointment he has been. Make no mistake- while his bluster against the mainstream media and the like is appealing, he's ultimately a globalist politician. He is not an outsider, and there appears to be neo-con globalist types (Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham types) steering his foreign policy. And, to me, it's been super disappointing to see types like Alex Jones of Infowars, long-time champions of the fight against the globalist agenda, now completely falling in line behind the Trump regime, no matter what it does.

Jones, who has long railed against the government/mainstream media lies used to justify the disastrous Iraq War 20 years ago, now blindly promotes the same kinds of lies used to justify the kidnapping of the Venezuelan President and his wife, with the ultimate goal of regime change in that country. With Saddam of Iraq it was the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' lie, now with Maduro of Venezuela it is the 'Narco-terrorist' lie. For the record, Trump has long openly spoken of his desire for the US to take control of Venezuela's oil reserves, which are among the biggest in the world.

Just like Islamist terrorist sympathisers who will literally excuse and even celebrate the most gruesome atrocities of mobs like al-queda or ISIS, there are also similar people who will excuse and even celebrate the most heinous actions of figures like Netanyahu or Trump.

As you know, Trump is also currently planning to annex Greenland, which has mammoth mineral riches waiting to be exploited. He's also threatening to do regime change in Cuba, bomb Mexican territory, and bomb Iran. Would it be good if the despicable Mexican cartels were hit hard? Yes. But are there ulterior motives for the suggestion that the US forces are going to bomb them? The question has to at least be asked.

Is the US Air Force potentially going to bomb Iran because it's recently been killing protestors and rioters? Forgive me for being sceptical about this. Firstly, Israel has killed thousands of Palestinians over the last two years, without a doubt. Possibly even tens of thousands, and a lot of this on purpose. The Trump regime doesn't care about this, and doesn't care about Iranian civilians who are killed also. This is clearly a ruse to potentially attack Iran. Is it a coincidence that Netanyahu and Trump had a meeting only a couple of weeks ago, right before the chaos in Iran was severely escalated? I can't answer definitively. But I ask you to think about it.

Further to this, according to most estimates, about 100 Iranian security forces have been killed in the recent protests/riots so far. Does this sound like 'peaceful protests'? It sounds much more like foreign interference.

On top of all of this, Trump did NOT oversee a full, unredacted release of the JFK files, which was originally promised. Quite the contrary. He has furthered the cover-up of the great conspiracy around the murder of JFK. And let's not forget that he ultimately did a similar whitewash of the Epstein files. Moreover, Trump was pictured with Epstein almost as often as Bill Clinton. Why? To play checkers?

I will leave it there for now. But I'm so happy to be able to post again. I'll endeavour to continue to post to this, and the other forum, at least once a month.

God bless you.

Hello All,

In my last post, I commented that I believe that Alex Jones has become somewhat sycophantic of the Trump regime, no matter what it does.

Despite that, I still believe that Jones is largely a force for good and have no doubt he's a genuine Christian (not that it's my right to doubt anyway). He still does good work, even if he's lost his way somewhat here or there. And he allows voices of dissent against Trump to make their arguments on his website.

I refer you to a recent article by Ron Paul on the infowars.com website, titled, 'Making Imperialism Great Again'. I won't summarise, because it's very short and you can cover it in a couple of minutes.

In short, Paul highlights how Trump has totally backtracked on his earlier anti-war, anti-regime change sentiments. It's undeniable, of course, and he points out the examples of Venezuela, Cuba and Iran, before touching on how Trump wishes to dramatically increase defence spending.

Hi Friends,

I'm recommending a new half-hour video on YouTube from the 'Judge Napolitano- Judging Freedom' channel. The title of this latest video is 'Scott Ritter- Free Speech and Me'.

The first 17 minutes or so deals with how Ritter had his bank account closed for mysterious reasons by, as it turns out, elements of the US government. The reason? Saying things that the Establishment doesn't like.

At about the 17:30 mark, Ritter comments on the latest crisis in Iran, which has started to die down at this point. There is 100% proof provided that the crisis was largely an Israeli/US regime change operation from the outset, backed of course with propaganda cover from the mainstream media.

Ritter sets it all out. On this occasion, it failed, because the rioters and insurrectionists had been pacified by the time Netanyahu and Trump had wanted to bomb. The scheme to bomb Iran was thus put on ice.

The evidence is there for all to see. Nothing and no-one is worthy of our adulation except for God and His son. Not Israel, not Netanyahu, not any nation, nor its leader.

Hello Everyone,

This is a fresh, insightful article from Christian news source 'The Trumpet', titled, 'Uniting States against America'.

The Trumpet is usually very pro-Trump and that has not necessarily altered, but this article is a very balanced read, reminding us that he's a flawed human with a huge ego who is trying to do things his own way, instead of God's way.

Ultimately, according to The Trumpet, while Trump has some positive aspects, he's also turning sections of the world against America, with potential long-term consequences.

Hi Everyone,

It's interesting that Ukraine/Russia has disappeared from the headlines for now. US aggression against Iran is obviously an ongoing story at the moment. Trump and his ilk boasted last year that they'd destroyed Iran's nuclear program.

Now they can't make up their mind why they want to attack Iran, they just know that they want to do it, and the current push to war feels very premeditated. Just like Clinton's criminal bombing and mass killing against Serbia/Kosovo in 1999 (dutifully backed by mainstream media), the target was decided upon first, and then the official reasons for the attacks (for public consumption) needed to be decided on and rolled out next.

Is it the nuclear program? Is it the recent protests (which, incidentally, were at least partially incited by Mossad, CIA, et al), or is it because of 'freedom'? Freedom, of course, is that overused word which has been offered up as justification for all sorts of atrocities in recent decades.

Alex Jones, an otherwise great man, has unfortunately become a largely unquestioning mouthpiece for the Trump regime.

That aside, I link to a new article from his site, titled, 'US readies for potential weeks long Iran military operation- report':

https://www.infowars.com/posts/us-readi ... ion-report

The truth about Trump, of course, is that he is just another compromised, sleazy, lying, murderous puppet. His opposing political party and Establishment media pretend they hate him, but fall in line behind him whenever it comes to things like wars, or covering up the Epstein files.

Which brings me to my next topic. While Trump has proven himself to be a malleable tool of the military-industrial-complex, with the likes of Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham and Benjamin Netanyahu constantly whispering in his ear, Trump is also protecting the paedophile 'elites' running the West.

Remember, Trump was photographed in the company of Epstein as much as Bill Clinton was, not to mention Bill Gates as well.

There is now obvious, ongoing stonewalling against naming perpetrators. Marjory Taylor Greene recently said that Trump contacted her and abused her for wanting to reveal names of perpetrators. He reportedly told her that a lot of his friends would be hurt by revealing names of perpetrators. Link to an article about this is at bottom of this post.

Look, I don't want to be just another Trump basher. His opponents made me angry during his first term. But I'm now equally angered by his minions who give him a messianic-like respect, and insist that everything he does is '4D chess'.

I'm just one guy with an opinion. If it's worth anything, I believe he would not have been allowed to rise to power without the blessing of the globalists who hand-pick leaders.

He is compromised by the Epstein files, and is quite possibly a perpetrator himself. He's also a war criminal and a puppet. Does all of this make him worse than other US presidents dating back decades? No, it makes him the same as them.

Hi All,

Not a lot of time for comments on the US/Israeli war against Iran, but here are some.

Firstly, some Christians are delirious with excitement at the whole thing, like they're following a football team on the way to the title. Their team, of course, is US/Israel and their adored star players are Netanyahu and Trump. I'm obviously using metaphors here.

I'm not here to tell you what to think, but I fear that a lot of people- including Christians who are better people than me- just don't think much at all.

Firstly, the initial 'protests' of a couple of months back were whipped up with the help of Mossad, CIA etc. Several thousand people died; maybe 10,000 or even more. Many of these were civilians murdered by Iranian security forces, no doubt. Many though, were violent insurrectionists and even anti-Iran jihadists. Hundreds of Iranian security forces were killed, some butchered with knives, some lynched, some burned alive. This was done by the 'peaceful protestors' the mainstream media keeps telling us about.

Secondly, whether you love, hate or don't care about Israel, the evidence is just too vast to ignore- it has a lot of influence over US foreign policy, including military/security issues.

I won't use emotive words like the 'Z' word, or say that the control is total. But it's very significant, and to deny it is to deny basic elementary deduction.

This war is Israel's war, and statements from high-up US officials have all but admitted this. In fact, the US has struggled to come up with a
coherent reason for its own involvement in the war. In fact, the official messaging has continued to shift. They can't even come up with a coherent lie.

The endgame goals, though, are pretty clear. Israel wants Iran to turn into a weak, failed state, so there's no-one in the region to challenge them. The US wants Iran to fall so they can, among other things, build US military bases in Iran, exploit its resources and spread rainbow ideology, et al, in that part of the world.

The timing, though, is very synchronised. The shock of the Epstein files- and Trump's increasingly close association with them- was gaining traction. It's already out there that Trump has close associates on the Epstein client list. There's also a very high chance that Trump himself was an Epstein client. Exhibit One: He was a friend of Epstein's who was photographed with him, and travelled with him, as much as Bill Clinton did. There are numerous other exhibits.

Trump is a monster just like all the other world leaders ruling over this Beast System at current. He is controlled opposition who is continuing to wage wars of globalist expansion, just like his predecessors.

Now, Iran is the next victim. Some Bible scholars believe that a sovereign, belligerent Iran will play a part in end times prophecy and will therefore not be conquered by US/Israel. I'm not so sure, but obviously don't know.

Lastly, as the wanton death and destruction continue, I cast your mind back to the start of this air war, about a week ago. The Ayatollah was obviously murdered, but around the same time, possibly the same day, a girl's primary school in Iran was hit by an airstrike, killing about 150 innocents.

US/Israeli official statements have been typically tepid, initially casting down on the Iranian reports of this, then stating it was probably an Iranian missile which did it, also offering up useless statements that they'll 'look into it', etc.

Now, the New York Times, usually a reliable mouthpiece in support of these regime change wars, has released a thoroughly researched report confirming that the slaughter at the school indeed happened, and that it was carried out by US forces.

There is no doubt in my mind that those who pulled the trigger- and were otherwise involved in carrying out the school massacre- should face the same treatment as the people put on trial at Nuremburg.

But of course, there's no real justice in this world. And there won't be until the return of Christ.

Is the main message of this post that US/Israel are bad, Iran good? No. Iran is also bad. But pardon me for being a little upset that some US military personnel, 'just following orders' like the Germans did in WWII, have followed their orders so dutifully that it led to the violent deaths of 150 people in a girl's primary school in Iran.

Hi Friends,

Today, this is about the Ukraine War. I have to admit to an ongoing, apparent error of judgement on my part, which only hit me yesterday.

It's on the subject of casualties in the Ukraine War. As extensively covered in numerous of my posts over the last four years, the Western Establishment has gone all-in on pro-Ukraine/NATO propaganda. One of the major ways this has been done is to dramatically overstate Russian losses, and downplay or even ignore their own (Ukraine/NATO losses).

Zelensky, Ukrainian intel, et al, would continually spout figures which seemed to indicate that 10-20 Russian soldiers were perishing for every single Ukrainian. This crude propaganda has been unquestioningly parroted by all the usual suspects: Western politicians, mainstream media outlets, Western security entities, etc.

Knowing that the Western government/media/military complex is obviously lying about this, I've consumed a lot of my Ukraine War coverage from alternative sources, such as Scot Ritter, Colonel McGregor, various guests on Judge Napolitano, et al.

When it came to death tolls, which I offered numerous times in this forum, I often gave what I considered as educated guesses, and I tried to be conservative about it.

If you'd have asked me for a guess before yesterday, I'd have guessed about 200,000 Russians KIA, and half-a-million to a million Ukrainians KIA.

But I came across a source yesterday which I believe to be credible, indicating a 1:1 ratio. The figure given was 155,000-plus Russian KIA, and 170,000 Ukrainian KIA. These appear to be verified casualties, without estimation, guesswork or modelling. Note: For this reason it is a conservative estimate.

The key takeway for me is that I was so reviled by the Western propaganda, that I fell for the pro-Russian propaganda from figures such as Ritter and McGregor. It is only now that I realise that the claims of a million-plus Ukrainian KIA are just as nonsensical as the Ukrainian/Western claims of a million-plus killed Russians.

Elementary, I know. To be sure, a 1:1 ratio is still disastrous for Ukraine in a strategic sense, since Russia is at least four times more populous.

Furthermore, an overall death toll (to date) of up to 350,000 young Russians/Ukrainians is unspeakable to say the least. And very avoidable. The blood is all over the hands of Russian, NATO and Ukrainian leaders who have orchestrated this slaughter.

Below is a link to a one-hour YouTube video by History Legends, one of two creators of this new database of Ukrainian War dead on both sides.

The whole video outlines the methodology of the data collection, pointing out the lies, dirty tricks, biases and agendas of the various pro-Ukraine and pro-Russia sources which have continually put out dishonest casualty counts.

If you don't wish to watch the aforementioned video, you could go straight to the database itself. A link to the website is right after the link to the video below.

I cannot guarantee that these newest figures are accurate. But I believe this is the most sincere and thorough attempt so far by anyone to put out accurate figures for both sides.
