Every working adult in Britain will be required to have a new government-issued digital identity card under the auspices of cracking down on illegal immigration.
The prime minister was expected to announce on Friday, Sept. 26, his backing for the “Brit card” scheme, which would verify an individual’s right to live and work in the UK.
The plan, which would require a change of law to implement, comes amid mounting pressure to take more drastic action to tackle migration as boat crossings reach a record high and the asylum backlog is still above 75,000. The political pressure on Starmer was given a jolt by the recent surging in the polls of the ultra-conservative Reform UK party.
But the leaders of eight civil liberties groups have warned that mandatory digital ID risks pushing “unauthorized migrants further into the shadows.”
Of course, the bigger danger is the complete elimination of privacy for all citizens, not just migrants.
Earlier this year, the government began looking at proposals for some form of digital ID for adults in Britain, with the view that it could help to tackle illegal migrants who are working in the underground economy. They have looked to the example of Estonia, which uses a mandatory digitized ID card system.
All of this is in complete compliance with U.N. Agenda 2030, Sustainable Development Goal 16.9, which calls for birth registration and digitized ID of all citizens, worldwide.
The Brits have provided the model for how the biometric digital ID will be implemented in the Western countries. They will simply offer it as the solution to problems created by the left, such as out-of-control migration, voter fraud, etc. If framed in this way, the right wingers will lap up the narrative and be first in line for their digital enslavement. Just like they lined up for their mRNA injections when the right man, President Donald Trump, told them it was a “beautiful shot.”
Make no mistake. The entire digital reset that the globalists have planned hinges on the populations of the so-called “free world” accepting biometric digital IDs. If you accept one of these identifiers, do not complain later that you are unhappy living in a world devoid of all human freedoms, including your freedom of movement, freedom to purchase things anonymously, freedom to eat a diet according to your own likes and dislikes, freedom to live in a house not a rented apartment, freedom to accept or reject various medical interventions, and the list goes on. It will all be gone in short order once the AI-driven digital system is fully established and every human is marked with a digital ID.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered a highly unusual meeting with top military leaders from around the world to gather on short notice. The meeting is slated to take place at Quantico in Virginia next Tuesday, per the Washington Post.
A meeting of the officials was confirmed by Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, who said Hegseth will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week, but did not address additional details, the outlet reported.
Military members from around the world have been ordered to attend the meeting, the outlet reported. The order also comes as Hegseth has been looking to overhaul the operations of the Pentagon in order to align with President Donald Trump’s policies and to bring back the historic name of the Department of Defense, which was named the Department of War up until 1947.
The outlet reported that Trump administration officials have been preparing a strategy that will make homeland defense a top priority after China has been identified as one of the country’s top security concerns. Hegseth’s order for the meeting applies to those senior officers who are at the rank of brigadier general and above or their equivalent in the Navy.
The meeting from Hegseth also comes just days after President Trump posted on Truth Social about Ukraine being in a position to win back all territory it has lost in its war with Russia. Trump did not say that there would be direct U.S. involvement in the war, and suggested there would only be EU support and financial support from NATO, which of course is controlled by the U.S. This is a trap that Trump seems all too willing to walk into.
Notice how Trump’s whole demeanor toward Russia changed after he met with King Charles and a host of top global CEOs in London last week. He spent several days in the belly of the beast, and the British convinced him of what his own neocon advisors in Washington seemed unable to convince him of – that America needs to lead the West into war against Russia. Nevermind that this is a war that could quickly go nuclear. They don’t care. They are obsessed with hatred for Russia. Why? Russia sits on the world’s largest cocktail of natural resources. The West is determined to do a regime change so they can get the spoils of war.

The Chairman and co-founder of one of the world’s most powerful tech companies, Peter Thiel, claims that regulating AI could hasten the coming of the antichrist.
This bizarre turn of events has even made it into the mainstream media.
The Wall Street Journal and The Times of London report that Thiel, the billionaire technocrat who co-founded Palantir Technologies, a data analytics firm used by law enforcement agencies and militaries in Ukraine, the US, Israel and the UK, is said to have made the comments during a lecture delivered in San Francisco this week.
Thiel, a donor to Donald Trump and the longtime mentor/financier of JD Vance, said that fearing or regulating promising technology and scientific progress, including in AI, risks courting the devil, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited people who attended the event.
Thiel, an investor in AI-driven defense and weapons development technology companies, is in the midst of delivering a sold-out series of lectures on the biblical antichrist.
Palantir said last week it would invest up to £1.5 billion in the military of the UK, creating up to 350 jobs, part of a package of announcements from U.S. technology companies which coincided with Trump’s state visit.
The UK Ministry of Defense is expected to spend up to 750 million British pounds on Palantir’s AI technology, which could help identify targets on the battlefield in any future war with Russia.
Leading Palantir’s London Office, interestingly, is a gentleman named Louis Mosley, the grandson of the late British fascist Oswald Mosley.

Zero Hedge reports that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed a meeting of G20 foreign ministers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York on Thursday, and he really unloaded, going after NATO and the EU for declaring what amounts to an economic and kinetic war on Russia through their proxy, Ukraine.
His remarks came on the heels of NATO warning Russia it is prepared to defend “every inch of allied territory” after Estonia said that Russian fighter jets had violated its airspace last week. He started by accusing the Western alliance of failing to adhere to the principles of the UN Charter, which he described as “a manifestation of neocolonial ambitions, [which] leads to increased global instability and breeds regional conflicts.”
Lavrov said further:
“A clear example is the crisis in Ukraine, provoked by the collective West, through which NATO and the European Union want to declare, in fact, have already declared a real war on my country and are participating in it directly.”
In a dire warning, both NATO and EU officials have indicated that shooting Russian planes out of the sky is an option on the tab if there are further breaches of European airspace.
We have an interview exchange between CNN’s chief warmongering correspondent Christiane Amanpour and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that serves as a perfect example of why NATO countries in eastern Europe and the Baltics are now hyping recent Russian drone incursions into European airspace. Listen to this exchange.
Ah, it’s all about democracy, is it? And the EU is such a paragon of democracy, isn’t it? With all of its unelected bureaucrats dictating policies to once-sovereign countries, in the process of outfitting its citizens with digital IDs. Yes, we can look at this through the false lens of democracy vs. authoritarianism, or we can look at the real issue, which is a battle for scarce resources. Oil. Gas. Gold. Uranium. Rare earth minerals. Russia is loaded with them. Europe wants them. They can’t get their hands on them as long as Putin is in charge of the Kremlin. That’s what this war is all about. Europe is fast becoming an irrelevant former world power in an age of hard assets when mineral wealth is needed to back digital currencies, AI, etc.
Almost no media is exploring the real reason our leaders are so eager to take us to war. They’d rather lie to us. It’s safer, and more profitable, for a corporate news outlet to be on the government’s side. If you are a politician in Washington, London, Paris or Berlin and want war with Russia, then at least defend it on honest terms and maybe more people would get on board, I don’t know. Just say what it’s really all about: We want their resources. But base it on a lie, that we’re fighting for democracy in Europe, and Americans can smell the stench of another neocon forever-war rising in the air.
This is the same old, same old. Foreign adventurism in far-flung corners of the globe we’ve never invested enough time in trying to understand, and thus when we go to war, years later we realize there is no good outcome in sight. We pack up and leave, a trail of dead bodies and Western-bound refugees in our wake.
Zero Hedge notes that there is a new dangerous drive among Western leaders and their surrogates to confront Russia, the outcome of which the neocons apparently haven’t thought through. This will potentially trigger World War III, at a moment when Ukrainian forces continue to steadily lose ground along the front lines.
Eastern Europe has been fashioned into a powder keg, just like it was in the years leading up to World Wars I and II.
Is the world being set up for a Third World War, to be triggered in that same volatile region? It sure looks that way to me.

Senior Justice Department investigator Glenn Prager dropped an Epstein bombshell in recent whistleblower audiotapes released by James O’Keefe.
Jeffrey Epstein was working with the CIA, Prager says, and he also said that rapes occurred while Bill Clinton was on Epstein’s private plane, the Lolita Express.
The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released audio of Glenn Prager discussing the DOJ’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Prager served as an Inspector overseeing sensitive investigations involving the FBI, DEA, Bureau of Prisons, US Marshals Service, ATF and the US Attorney’s Offices.
Prager was overheard by what O’Keefe calls a citizen journalist at a Phoenix airport on September 8, 2025, dropping Epstein bombshells.
“I’ve seen all the itineraries. I’ve interviewed all the victims. There’s never been an instance where Trump was on a plane with these kids and the rapes occurred. But that can’t be said for Clinton. And it can’t be said for others,” Glenn Prager was overheard saying, adding that, “While the Clintons were on the plane, while Bill Clinton was on the plane, there were rapes that occurred.
“They [DOJ] didn’t want to go after him [Epstein] because he’s an asset for the United States and Israel,” he added.
Glenn Prager said Epstein was CIA, adding:
“It’s not talked about yet but, it’s soon to come out that he [Epstein] was a CIA informant.”
O’Keefe posted to X.
“Senior DOJ Epstein Investigator Reveals ‘Epstein Was CIA’ … Confirms ‘Rapes Occurred While Bill Clinton Was on the Plane’ …”

A grand jury has indicted ex-FBI chief James Comey.
Comey was indicted on two counts: One count of lying to Congress and one count of obstruction of justice.
Comey had been complaining how Trump has weaponized the government against his opponents, in what appeared to be a form of psychological projection since many believe that’s exactly the type of activity he was notoriously involved in.
Comey’s very public anti-Trump comments came in the aftermath of his participation, along with many of his Democrat colleagues, in the fraudulent Russiagate conspiracy theory that was assembled to try to keep Trump from being elected, or then to destroy him during his first term once he did get elected.
That conspiracy, now proven to be completely falsified, was based on a scheme by Hillary Clinton to tie Trump to Russia.
Trump’s recent decision to flip and go hard against Russia, to the point of risking American national security in my opinion, could be at least partly explained by his desire to shake his reputation in some circles as being an asset of Putin.
Comey’s FBI participated in this fraudulent scheme, including launching an unfounded investigation of Trump.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday after Comey’s indictment, “No one is above the law,” blah, blah, blah… The exact same language used by the Biden regime to indict Trump and others in his circle.
So this arrest further stokes the left-right paradigm that the globalists need to be in place in order to lead us in the direction they want us to go, which is war and digital slavery.
Reports called the charges a “most dramatic escalation” in what Trump opponents have claimed is retribution by Trump against those who attacked him when they were in power.
It will be interesting now to see if this is just the tip of the iceberg, to be followed by other high-level Democrat operatives, or if Comey will be the lone major target of the Russiagate investigation.
Comey will likely come out of this unscathed and looking like a hero to the left, much the same way Donald Trump did to the right. The legal persecution of Trump lionized him as a messiah of the right and propelled him back into the White House. This indictment of Comey tells me the globalists may have other plans for him as well.

Leo—I like your new format. With as turbulent and fast-moving events are these days, this format helps cover more ground.
There is a very funny parody of what Hegseth ought to say to the big brass gathering at Quantico that’s worth reading, written by retired Col. Karen Kwaitkowski on her substack, titled “An Assembly of Generals”. I hope Hegseth fires the whole bunch for losing every war after 1945 and making their fortunes on the chaos and destruction our military leaves in its wake. But that’s wishing on a star. Most likely it’s to tell them about how we’ll start WWIII. I’ve been listening to an audio book “The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War” by Craig Whitlock. It’s just one of our wars in the last 80 years, yet it’s one example out of many of how carelessly, incompetently and wasteful of lives our military does anything. And our leaders are so keen to take on Russia, China and Iran? Venezuela, too? I hope Pete fires them all and closes the overseas bases, but fat chance.
It just won’t happen.–our military is far too corrupt. The military-industrial complex, security state apparatus and spy agencies have taken over our federal government almost completely. Congress has been rendered almost useless to control the government. The military effectively replaced our diplomatic service and now our relations with the world is based on “might makes right” and so overwhelming force is used for every situation. Like vaporizing those little boats near Venezuela, a murderous violation of international law. But we’re above the law, we’re an exception to any law. The mega-corporations and the tech sector are behind all the turmoil in the world today for control of all the minerals and energy resources globally, but even more for the infrastructure, like gas and oil pipelines (very intense struggle over these), and geographic choke points (Straits of Hormuz, Suez Canal, etc). US/UK/EU hostility to BRICS is mostly over the Chinese new infrastructure (Belt and Road Initiative) that is being built in Central and South Asia—areas that are in desperate need of infrastructure development. Their development would firmly tie local economies to the East, rather than the West. Plus China’s building infrastructure in its frontier areas along the old Silk Road is said to protect it from Western block-aides of their eastern coastlines. Seems like our slipshod and dithering foray into Afghanistan was likely more to obstruct Russian and Chinese pipeline and transportation development there, than to catch Bin Laden.
It’s not surprising that Trump changed his tune after meeting with King Charles. Certainly, the UK is keen to regain its former empire and glory—for now, they use the US as their proxy empire. For instance, they certainly want back the Suez Canal. It was a real embarrassment when they lost it in 1956 and Eisenhower wouldn’t help them keep it or let the Israelis take it. Don’t forget Israel was once the UK’s proxy, too and still is. (British military aircraft fly reconnaissance missions for them over Gaza.) The Zionists have functioned as UK/US attack dog in the Middle East since 1917 to drive out the native populations. The UK, too, chose the Saudi family as their proxy to rule in Arabia. There was the choice post-WWI among 3-4 ruling families to rule the Arabs. The British chose the Saudis with their Wahhabist religious terrorists to cow the other more secular Arabs into line or exterminating them. The Christians of the Middle East have been largely eliminated over the past 100 years. All this while, Western powers have been shaking up the Middle East and Central Asia (since the 19th century) so perhaps now their chess pieces are just about in place to put Russia and the East generally in check. The “Great Game” has gotten vastly greater.
Now in the midst of all the global turmoil, Prophet Paul Thiel comes forth to hand down a special prophesy—that the Anti-Christ will come if AI is regulated. The take-away to us minions is DON’T DARE REGULATE WHAT PALANTIR (and other AI companies) DOES WITH AI OR YOU’LL ALL BE SO SORRY. And Leo, that is very interesting, that you report the London Office of Palantir is headed by the grandson of a former British fascist. Just shows that Hitler won the war after all and fascism runs in families. Fascism/Nazism wasn’t defeated in 1945; it simply got new ownership. The CEOs of this paradigm have been working behind the scenes for decades to repackage and build stronger this evil empire, waiting until this moment to spring it upon the world again.
As Col. Douglas MacGregor said recently, “War is inevitable.”

Hello Kayjae ,
I think that the objective of many of America’s wars is to achieve destabilisation in countries such as Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan,
“Resource Access: Chaos can make it easier for external powers to exploit natural resources or influence local factions.
Geopolitical Leverage: Weak states are less able to resist foreign military bases, trade deals, or intelligence operations.
Military-Industrial Complex: Endless conflict sustains defense spending and arms sales, benefiting powerful corporate interests.”
I believe that the main strategy in the Middle East is to establish Zionist Israel as a superpower in the region. We can see how relatively weak the surrounding nations have become. And of course the destruction of Iran is next, in my opinion.
If a peace deal is done in relation to Gaza, it will only serve to free up resources for an all out attack on Iran. It’s worth noting that Tony Blair is being put forward as a mediator in Gaza. This is the man who worked relentlessly to form a coalition to war against Iraq on the false pretence that Iraq had “weapons of mass destruction” .
“Blair’s institute has drafted a £300 million blueprint involving a “war room,” elite bodyguards, and an internationally vetted police force”
The stated plan, envisions “Blair chairing a board that would oversee Gaza’s recovery, security coordination, and eventual handover to the Palestinian Authority”
I don’t believe that Gaza will be handed over to the Palestinian Authority. I believe it will be annexed along with the West Bank in order to achieve Netanyahu’s dream of Israel being a totally Jewish State.
The ultimate enemy which has yet to be destroyed is Iran and I believe the recent deployment of ariel refueller planes is a sure sign that this destruction is imminent.
In June , Trump called out for “unconditional surrender” from Iran. This was a statement of intent which I believe will lead to an all out war against Iran.
The typical indicators are already in place. Sanctions have badly damaged Iran. Iran’s oil exports have been slashed , their currency has collapsed, inflation has soared and unemployment is very high and Iran has been isolated from financial institutions.
All of this is leading to the collapse of Iran as a society in preparation for an all out attack by Israel and America, in my opinion.
Just some of my opinions. We will have to wait and see what unfolds.

Hello Unibokk–
Your points about the US strategy of destabilizing regions are correct, IMO. The US uses NGOs to accomplish this destabilization, before going to the military option. In this month alone, there are 3 color revolutions occurring in Indonesia, Nepal, and the Philippines—all of them funded by NED (National Endowment for Democracy) as well as Soros-linked NGOs. (Brian Berletic of the New Atlas explains this well). The US is trying to offload Ukraine onto Europe (but still will be the main supplier of long-range missiles/drones and target intelligence). Trump explicitly and arrogantly states Europe is to bear the risks and consequences of the Ukrainian defeat. This dodge will supposedly free up the US to pivot to Asia to begin its encirclement of China, beginning with color revolutions.
But first, Iran. It is clearly the next target, some say hostilities will resume by the end of this year. The only question is, will US troops be committed to invade? That’s what Netanyahu is probably in DC now to demand of Trump (again). It would be a disaster for us if Trump does this, but many think Trump is afraid of Netanyahu and will do anything to mollify him. He may drag his feet for awhile (as he did with the bombing of Iran), but eventually he will do as he is told (or else).
Iran is preparing for the continuation of the war with Israel (and the US). Whatever the condition of their economy, the populace is united and committed to repelling any attack. They understand the stakes. And well supplied for it, too, and working hard to improve their offensive and defensive capabilities. They have hypersonic missiles and promise that the next “rumble in the jungle” will be far more devastating to Israel than the last time (and the last one was shockingly destructive). They will play for keeps and go all out. Israel, too, is preparing for another war with Iran and are likely to go nuclear. This may likely become a war of extermination. An extremely dangerous situation—all completely unnecessary—but our strategy is to create messes and empty targeted lands of their native populations.
It is really difficult to know who or what is actually running our foreign policy. It is becoming increasingly obvious that it is mega-corporation and billionaire class think-tanks (like Rand Corp, Brookings Institute, etc) which publish papers outlining their regional strategies and tactics that take years to fully implement. They are not hiding their agendas and how they plan to carry them out. They use our federal government and the media to promulgate and propagandize public acceptance of their kleptocratic and murderous plans. But all our empire’s rape, pillage and plunder overseas is never to improve or protect America (despite what the propagandists say). Instead, America is becoming visibly 3rd world in many cities and unsafe, and our people look pathetic, undignified and impoverished (physically, morally and spiritually). So where is all the plunder going? How are we being “blessed”??
Is it all just power play for its own sake? A chess game for the bored super-rich and well-connected at the expensive of everyone else? What’s gained really by all this saber-rattling when everything is destroyed?
I hope Iran can effectively resist what’s coming. It’s a very ancient land and ancient people (its Islamic character is perhaps less important than its deeper Persian national identity). Iran is real. Israel is a Potemkim village of a nation, a false prop erected by an racist, atheistic 19th century ideology, a vicious attack dog for an increasingly criminalized US/UK. The Global South and its BRICS supporters are forced to stiffen their resistance to Western neo-imperialism, or else find their nations and people broken in pieces. I hope the resistance grows everywhere, even in my country, despite the surveillance and suppression the Powers-That-Ought-Not-To-Be threaten to impose.

Hello Kkajae
Israel has announced a new laser defence weapon which could be a game changer against Iran. It’s called ‘Iron Beam’ . It’s beam travels at the speed of light so it would be effective even against hypersonic missiles. Each firing only costs about two dollars compared with fifty thousand dollars for just one of the cheapest alternative defence missiles. And with ‘Iron Beam, there isn’t the fear of running out of missiles.
Iran’s allies have been greatly weakened and it’s ally, Russia, has it’s own war with Ukraine , not to mention increasing tensions with Europe. So, Iran is not so strong as it used to be .
So, I believe that the odds would be stacked heavily in Israel’s favour should they decide to attack Iran.

Unibokk—I looked up about the Iron Beam. While it could be a game-changer in combat, Wikipedia lists some advantages and disadvantages to this system. Disadvantages are its high set-up cost (but offset by its cheap use cost), range is 10K (so it’s limited to defense), limited by atmospheric conditions, and it is more effective against slower drones and missiles it can focus its beam (dwell time) upon. Can be counteracted by heat-resistant materials. So whether or not it can shoot down a hypersonic missile is questionable, especially if Iran sends over swarms of the slower missiles to distract Israel’s defense system. It’s the tactic they’ve used the last two times. I guess we’ll find out which weapons systems prevails when the shooting starts.
Israel is weaker, too. Its army is worn out (many reservists are not reporting for duty), their economy is in tatters, there is a considerable exodus out of Israel to Cyprus and other place, and they have warfare on 7 fronts and winning at none of them. Their chief ally the US is weaker, too. (a depleted and outdated arsenal, a declining economy, an inefficient or non-existent manufacturing base.) Iran has a good chance to survive and certainly the will.
Just shows how the modern battlefield has evolved light-years in delivering even more lethality. Truly stuff exceeding even the most imaginative science fiction. This new arms technology race is proving to be as dangerous as nukes.
Nobody wants to use nukes because of its “dirty” radiation contamination, but there was a technology developed in the 60s for a “clean” bomb known as Mk-41Y2 that can deliver mass devastation without all the radioactivity. Trump had hinted about this some months ago, so perhaps this is in development again and may become part of our arsenal (and that of Israel’s). If so, then there will be much less reluctance to use such a weapon.

Hello Kkayjae
Yes , the laser weapon has it’s limitations but it is an addition to the Iron Dome. I’ve read that it could likely engage up to 50 drones per minute. So, a battery of these lasers could be very effective against drone saturation from the Iranians.
Previous drone attacks against Israel by Iran were not very effective. Here’s an example:
“Iran launched over 1,000 drones, but only a few breached Israeli airspace. The Israeli Air Force reportedly destroyed around 950 drones before launch, severely degrading Iran’s offensive capabilities”
Israel combined preemtive attacks including air attacks , sabotage , and cyber attacks.
You make a good point about the military being worn out. But I don’t expect them to be engaging with the Iranian army. I suspect that American soldiers will eventually be posted to Iran.
I think that America and Israel will manage to weaken Iran and then implement regime change. I would not be surprised if Israel carries out a major cyber attack. I remember how Israel managed to use a computer virus to delay Iran’s nuclear progress. It was called ‘Stuxnet’.
Netanyahu is relentless and I believe he will go all the way and attack Iran with Trump’s full support.

During the past two strikes against Israel by Iran, military experts observed that the Iranian missile/drone tactic was to send over swarms of slow flying missiles/drones which distracted Israeli and US defense to strike them. Meanwhile Israel (especially this last time) was struck with great effect by the faster flying missiles that skirted the overwhelmed Israeli defenses, all of which struck their targets precisely. Western and Israeli media tried to cover this up, most saying that Iranian missile attacks were all shot down and no real damage down. This is not true—Israel got hit very hard in many places around the country. Where Iran was weak this last time, was in believing Trump was negotiating in good faith (when it was a feit), not anticipating the Israeli black ops used to decapitate the leadership and betray the positions of air defenses. But Iran quickly recovered and smacked Israel good, enough to many Israelis to flee in panic to Cyprus. Iran since then has shored up its defenses and purged the Mossad assets that betrayed them. Plus now they have re-organized their leadership in depth. The next go-around should be very fierce and I expect Iran to put up a very effective defense and a devastating counterattack until they finish off Israel. They view saber-rattling Israel as posing an existential threat. Their president also said recently that if Israel starts another attack, the US bases in the area will also be targeted by the Iranians. Currently many of our bases in the region are being emptied of troops.
Of course, Israel expect us to use American troops to invade Iran. Trump will obey Netanyahu like the shabbos goy he is. But I don’t know how Trump will sell this to Americans, who are already quite fed up with Israel’s pushing us fighting their wars. Iran will be no push-over. They won’t give up like Iraq did. Instead it would be like fighting the Japanese of WWII—utterly savage and to the death. That’s how the Iranians fought the Iran-Iraq war in the 80s. Iran is also a much bigger country than Iraq, more population, much more challenging terrain—it would be extremely costly to invading American infantry. The only way we could defeat Iran is to bomb every square inch and totally eradicate everything and everyone in it. And that’s not a victory worth celebrating, just a disgraceful genocide. But look at Gaza—the Palestinians have almost no armament, no air force, no navy, no heavy artillery, missiles, drones and they have been bombed into near oblivion with everything Israel has to throw at them. Yet they still resist. That says a lot about the sheer tenacity of those people who have nothing to defend themselves with. Iranians are made of the same fiber. Americans, on the other hand, have no more appetite to fight Iran than they did in Vietnam. Trump would have to reinstate the draft to get enough soldiers for this offensive and he won’t get them. No without massive pushback from the public. But maybe the Christian Zionists will march to war to defend Israel–no wait–they expect to be raptured out, don’t they??
But we’ll see what happens to Netanyahu’s demonic project. I think it would be a terrible mistake if Trump joins Netanyahu in this foolishness. But he is not his own man.

Thank you for sharing your video, unibokk (I found it here and subscribed: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H3HsAmfidrw).
I completely agree with your interpretation of scripture surrounding the end times, and I don’t understand why most Christian leaders teach otherwise. Based on my personal observations, churches today are “tickling the ears” and not teaching the hard truth. So many churches are now woke, focused on cultural acceptance and entertainment, and when persecution comes, many people will fall away just as the bible teaches.
God bless you, and I look forward to watching more of your videos 🙂
