Pentagon Creates UFO Office

 We already know that these “things” are not made on planet earth, and so does the Pentagon.  This is just one step further down the road towards the government making full disclosure that there are “aliens” out there and thus prepping the left-behind world for accepting demons-in-disguise.  The grand delusion keeps marching closer.

*********************

The Pentagon announced last week that it is establishing an office that will focus entirely on investigating UFO sightings. The move comes just one month after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) released a report revealing over 140 UFO sightings – also referred to as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) – were reported by military aviators between 2004 and 2021.

According to a department press release dated July 20, the mission of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) will be to coordinate efforts between the Pentagon and other U.S. departments and agencies to locate and identify UFOs.

Living in an Age of Permanent Crisis-Let's Stop Planning for a "Return to Normal"

 Whatever "normal" means to you.  I would say it would refer to that time of life before the pandemic was declared and the government shut down the world and told everyone to stay home in order to "flatten the curve".  12 months later there were still millions of Americans staying home.  2 years later we still see people wearing masks at airports.

Today we read about huge problems that are happening, seemingly all at once.  This article we see today says we are living in a permanent crisis and to stop planning to return to the "normal" life of pre-Covid.  This author is from the UK and it's written for the Guardian so is more than left leaning.  I was just attracted to the headline for blogging purposes.

We’re living in an age of permanent crisis – let’s stop planning for a ‘return to normal’

Temperatures in Britain hit 40C. Runways melt at major airports. The London fire brigade reports its busiest single day since the second world war as fires rage around the city. The Met Office warns of temperatures so high they “could lead to serious illness or loss of life”.

Meanwhile, inflation grinds inexorably upwards. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is part of it, but other pressures were already apparent. Staples such as coffee saw price rises as a result of extreme weather disrupting harvests. Even silicon chips have been affected, with droughts in Taiwan putting the hugely water-intensive production of semiconductors at risk.

The environmental crisis isn’t going away. The best available projections from climate forecasters point to greater instability – more heatwaves, more floods, worse shortages of food, even an increased risk of future pandemics. Yet this unavoidable and hugely costly instability, now becoming a part of our daily lives, scarcely seems to register with the institutions charged with managing the economy.

We’re living in an age of permanent crisis – let’s stop planning for a ‘return to normal’

Current plans predicated on stable growth seem foolish when we know that shocks such as global heating aren’t going away

Official forecasts, prepared by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), actually show inflation fading away rapidly over this year and a return to normal inflation and rates of growth over the next two years, as “output grows broadly in line with the economy’s productive potential”. Similarly, the latest Bank of England report predicts that the external shocks we see will wane, and inflation will return to its normal 2% target level in two to three years.

The government’s own plans for the immediate economic future are built around this belief in a strikingly rapid return to normality, with the Treasury using the OBR’s forecasts for its planning. Its only recognition of “higher than usual” uncertainty comes from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, not environmental instability.

This isn’t some quirk of the official forecasters. The assumption of a certain kind of stability over time is hardwired into many of the kinds of economic models used today. That even if the economy is temporarily knocked off-balance, it will swing, eventually, back to its steady growth path, plodding on into the future. “Shocks” such as sudden hikes in the price of oil, or wars in eastern Europe, may happen, but, like a roly-poly toy, the economy springs back to where it was before.

Worse, if the environmental shocks keep coming, creating further shortages and pushing up prices, the Bank’s own models – incorrectly predicting a rapid return to “normality” – will be leaning it towards further rate rises in response. Meanwhile, plans for public spending and future investment, drawn up in the Treasury, will seriously understate the amount of either needed in a world of frequent environmental shocks – risking, in this case, higher than expected government borrowing, as additional emergency spending is pushed through.

It’s past time for a new approach, from the fundamental design of our economic models to the kind of economic management pursued by government. A starting point would be to focus on the requirements of protection, rather than the assumption of future growth. Focusing on things such as support for incomes, including real-terms pay, pensions and benefits increases, as a monetary insurance for households against future environmental shocks. And to invest hugely, not only in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but in building in the kind of protections against extreme weather, from flood defences to home insulation, that are now tragically necessary.

Clearly this dude's worldview believes that global warming is about the absolute worst thing threatening mankind.  So his worldview would be drastically different than ours.  But the interesting thing is that there is a whole, wide, broad class of people on planet earth that think something is going really wrong.  They are going to start looking for SOMEONE, ANYONE who can unite the world, fix the chaos and lead the world.

Can you see how the world is being prepped for the Antichrist?  Please remember that the Antichrist can't be revealed until after the rapture of the church.

Central Banks, Global Economy, Digital Currency, Oh My!!

 If you have 30 minutes to watch this video then I think you will find it all very interesting.  If you don't then at least forward to about 12:40 and see where she asks him, "Is this leading us to a digital currency?"  His emphatic answer is "Of course!"

Friends, we have been saying for almost 15 years now that the current system of creating money out of thin air by issuing government bonds and then having the Federal Reserve "buy" them...is a type of Ponzi scheme.  It works for a little while until it's all your left with.  At that point, the gig is up and the entire system comes crashing down.  It will wipe out an entire class of people in America.  The Great Reset will be upon us.

The title of it is;  System Will ‘Wipe Out’ Entire Class as Global Economy Spins Into Free Fall, Warns Greg Mannarino

No doubt we are living in perilous times.  We continue to believe that global events and supply chains will stay operating because of Jesus' words..."People were eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, planting, building...", but if we are that close to a total reset and a melt down of an entire class of people, that doesn't really sound like business as usual.  So can we be in the "Last call" hour of Jesus summoning His bride??  I certainly hope so!  I don't know the day or the hour but I sure hope we don't have much longer because it's become very obvious where this is all going.  A global government, a digital currency and the Antichrist controlling it and he requires you to have a mark in order to access it.

Scripture seems clear that the Antichrist cannot be revealed until the "restrainer" has been removed.

Republican Leaders Appear to be Caving on Same Sex Marriage

 We read some rumors that MAYBE SCOTUS could be willing to re-think same-sex marriage.  The rumor goes like this;  If abortion is a contentious and divisive topic that should be allowed to be decided by the states and NOT the Supreme court, then the definition of marriage could fall under the same category.  

Since Democrats maybe are thinking about the same rumor, they put forward a bill that would seek to enshrine gay marriage as the law of the land everywhere so if SCOTUS did throw it out then the Federal Government would have a trigger to overrule any states that would define marriage as ONE MAND and ONE WOMAN.

So with that as a backdrop, we are now reading that even some Republicans have "no problem with gay marriage" and maybe would vote FOR the Democrat bill.

As the article points out, this would be a betrayal of the family by these Republicans.

On Tuesday, the House passed the so-called Respect for Marriage Act with a stunning 47 Republican votes and the blessing of GOP House leaders, and the bill is now rapidly gaining traction with Republicans in the Senate, shocking even Democrats and the liberal media.

The Respect for Marriage Act would enshrine same-sex “marriage” into federal law, override duly enacted laws and constitutional amendments in 35 states, require the federal government to recognize polygamy or any other redefinition of marriage that a state may come up with, and open the door to a wide range of new threats to religious freedom.

The bill, largely intended as a Democratic messaging stunt before the midterms, is nothing less than a declaration of war on the family and Christians and a gift to the radical LGBT movement and Democrats’ far-left base.

Conservatives could naturally expect that the representatives they elected to defend their values against just this kind of attack would reject the woke Respect for Marriage Act out of hand.

But as of Monday, five Republican senators (Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin) have indicated that they will support the bill when it comes before the Senate, already giving Democrats half of the GOP votes they need to get it to Joe Biden’s desk and hand him his first major legislative victory on LGBT issues.

And Republican Senate leaders have made clear that they currently have no plans to oppose the bill.

“I’m going to delay announcing anything on that issue until we see what the majority leader wants to put on the floor,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday.

Sen. John Thune, the Republican Senate whip, added that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if the bill gets significant bipartisan support in the Senate, and later said that Republican leadership probably won’t urge members to vote against it.

“My guess is on something like that, it’s probably a vote of conscience,” he said.

Sen. Roy Blunt, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, suggested that he may even be a “yes” vote. “I don’t have any problem with same-sex marriage,” he told CNN, adding that he would “look at” the bill.

Many of the same Republicans who immediately surrendered on the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA) previously had no problem running on Christian values when it boosted their political careers.

Thune, for example, made opposition to same-sex “marriage” a central plank of his successful bid to oust Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle, warning at the time that “the institution of marriage is under attack from extremist groups.”

That’s still true today, and while national Republicans may insist that the debate on same-sex “marriage” is “settled,” at least half of Republican voters still opposite it, as do three-quarters of the White evangelical Christians who dominate the GOP’s base. For many of them, as for conservative Catholics, the issue is absolutely non-negotiable.

Homosexuality remains impossibly at odds with Christianity: Sacred Scripture unequivocally condemns homosexual behavior, and Jesus Himself defines marriage precisely as between one man and one woman for life. For Catholics, Church teaching on homosexuality is unchanged and unchangeable, declaring sodomy “gravely contrary to chastity” and the natural law, as it has for millennia.

Not only does the Respect for Marriage Act violate fundamental principles of millions of Christians on whom the Republican Party depends, it likely exposes those same Christians – the most reliable Republican voters in the country – to new threats from anti-Christian federal bureaucrats, including lost tax exempt status for churches that adhere to biblical marriage.

As you read the article you will also see that polygamy is mentioned.  It's coming!  How are you going to say no to a bisexual throuple or quintouple from forming a family too??  Are you biphobic to deny these folks the opportunity to be a family??  Remember please that "love is love"...or so says that WOKE manual that seems to be powering America today.

Ranchers Forced to Sell Entire Herds

 The article headline says that ranchers are in panic mode.  I've known lots of ranchers and I find it hard to see any of them in a panic over really anything.  But no doubt, it has to be really hard to get to the point where you simply can't justify the cost of raising cattle because your pastures are gone, your water is gone and hay is too expensive to buy and have trucked in from hundreds of miles away.

As the author says, when all these drought cattle hit the market it will make the price of beef go down because most of them will go to slaughter and there will be a glut of beef on the market.  But just wait til next year when there aren't as many calves being born but just as many hungry Americans to feed.

Another element adding to the perfect storm.

So now even if you can find hay for sale it is usually so expensive that it is simply not economical.  Without any other options that make sense, some cattle ranchers in Texas have actually decided to go ahead and sell their entire herds...

Central Texas ranchers have little hay to feed their cows due to drought conditions. That means some ranchers are now selling their entire herds, including older ones who might not thrive in the drier and hot conditions.

"Some of these ranchers are just totally out of grass, totally out of water," Uptmore said. "Their backs are against the wall and they don't have any other option."

The good news is that a flood of beef is coming into the supply chain right now.

And that will certainly help keep short-term prices stable.

But what will we do next year and beyond?

According to Bloomberg, many ranchers that are showing up at these auctions are literally in "panic mode" because they are so eager to sell off their animals...

Ranchers in top cattle state Texas can't sell their herds fast enough with 100-degree Fahrenheit temperatures making it too expensive to sustain animals.

Costs for feed, fertilizer and fuel have been soaring. There's also a lack of water in the state, and little hay. That's resulting in a firehouse of cattle getting auctioned at Texas sale barns. Emory Livestock Auction Inc., just over an hour's drive east from Dallas, is seeing nearly quadruple normal rates with ranchers in "panic mode," said Jack Robinson, an 83-year-old auctioneer.

Normally ranchers would wait until their cattle have reached a desired weight before finally selling them off.

Unfortunately, this relentless drought is forcing many ranchers to "sell smaller"...

Cattle rancher Anthony Vybiral, in the business since the 90s, says drought conditions are forcing ranchers like him to "sell smaller."

During a normal season, calves weigh up to 600 pounds, Vyviral said. Now, the rancher said, "some of them have been weighing 375 to 450 and they've been selling them."

At the end of the day, ranching is a business.

These guys are trying to make whatever money that they can under the circumstances.

Of course most Americans never even think about where the meat that they eat comes from, but we should.

Because as Texas rancher Jarrod Montford has pointed out, we depend on a very small sliver of the population to feed all the rest of us...

"1.6, 1.7% of the population feeds the rest. It's not how bad are we at the end of the day," Monfort said. "It's the fact that if we don't survive, our nation fails," said Montford.

He is right.

We need our farmers and our ranchers, and we don't appreciate them nearly enough.

Looking ahead, there is reason to be extremely concerned.

The national cattle herd has been getting smaller for quite a while, and now that trend threatens to greatly accelerate...

The nation's cow herd has been shrinking for the past two years, but this summer's drought is sending much of the breeding herd to the processing plant. That will cut into calf numbers for the next two to three years.

What we desperately need is a break in the weather.

So let us hope for cooler temperatures and lots of rain.

Unfortunately, this next week is supposed to be a sizzler, and that will especially be true in the Southwest...

About 85% of the US population -- or 273 million people -- could see high temperatures above 90 degrees over the next week. And about 55 million people could see high temperatures at or above 100 degrees over the next seven days.

On Saturday, "sizzling temperatures" will take hold of the Middle Mississippi Valley and Central Plains with temperatures forecast to surpass 100 degrees, the weather prediction center said.

Daytime temperatures could top 100 degrees across much of the Southwest, with some areas exceeding 110 degrees, according to the center.

Of course all of this is happening within the context of the worst global food crisis in decades.

Famines are already erupting all over the world, and global food supplies are getting tighter with each passing day.

We were warned that this was coming, but most people didn't want to listen.

Now a day of reckoning is nearly upon us.

I would definitely encourage you to stock up on meat in the weeks ahead while it is still relatively cheap, because the outlook for 2023 and beyond is definitely not promising.

I have been telling folks the same thing.  One of the best things to do with your money is to buy a freezer and make sure it's stuffed full, cuz the price of food is going up while the availability of food is going down.

Even Webster Dictionary No Longer Certain What a Woman Is?

 You simply can't make this crap up.  It came like a flood in just the last few years.  Suddenly, half of America no longer knows what a woman or man actually is.  And if you stick to your guns and say that a woman is fully mature female human, then you become the object of hate for those Americans who are fully WOKE.

Standing for Biblical truth may have been much easier in America 50-100 years ago when almost all Americans would have agreed on the definition of MALE, FEMALE, MEN, WOMEN, MARRIAGE, PREGNANCY, BABY...but now everything is up for grabs.

We can know for certain that we are losing the culture war when even the most recognizable name in dictionaries goes woke.  

Merriam-Webster's online dictionary is facing renewed criticism for slipping woke gender ideology into its definitions of "male" and "female." 

"Female," primarily defined in the online dictionary as "of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to bear young or produce eggs," now includes the secondary definition of "having a gender identity that is the opposite of male."  

Similarly, the secondary definition of "male" reads "having a gender identity that is the opposite of female." 

The definition entries were originally changed in 2020, but widespread criticism resurfaced after the new definitions recently circulated on social media. 

Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh and the conservative account Libs of TikTok on Tuesday tweeted images of the expanded definitions as compared to past editions of the dictionary, resulting in a resurgence of overwhelmingly negative responses to Merriam-Webster's addition. 

In addition to including gender identity as a legitimate definition for "male" and "female," Merriam-Webster added the words "typically has the capacity" to both the original definition of "female" as "the sex that bears young and produces eggs" and the original definition of "male" as "the sex that produces relatively small, usually motile gametes, which fertilize the eggs of a female."  

Those changes suggest agreement with the transgender community's contention that a person's gender identity is legitimate, even if that person does not have the same physical characteristics or capabilities as the gender they claim to embody.  

Many who criticize Merriam-Webster's subtle redefinition of "male" and "female" see it ultimately as an attack on the concepts of objective truth and reality, and think it reflects the culture's dismissal of the biological reality of "male" and "female" as "transphobic" and even "dangerous." 

This redefinition continues Merriam-Webster's trend of wokeness. In 2019, it chose the pronoun "they," with one of its definitions as "a single person whose gender identity is nonbinary," as its Word of the Year in a nod to the nonbinary community, and similarly added gender identity to its secondary definitions of "boy" and "girl" to read "a child whose gender identity is male" and "a person whose gender identity is female." 

Here;  Webster's Dictionary Goes Woke With Redefining Male & Female (prophecynewswatch.com)

Just remember to stand firm!  Yes, the world will hate you when you refuse to join in their delusion.  But should that surprise us when Jesus said they would?  Let's all keep working to stand for the truth.  In the beginning, God made them male and female.  Simply because mankind now has drugs to make women grow a beard DOES NOT MAKE THEM A MAN.

When next you get into a discussion with a woke person aske them if they think it's reasonable for a 60 year old man to identify as 40 and if the state should be willing to change his driver's license and birth certificate to identify him as such?  If a person can legally change their gender just by saying so, how much easier to change your age?

Think about it.  

Crops Fail All Over the Globe

 "There will be famines, wars, rumors of war..."

Seriously, it certainly seems like Biblical prophecy is reaching a crescendo!  How long can human history continue before "all these things" happen?  And how much longer can we "lift up our heads" as we await for our redemption from Jesus?

Of course we will wait patiently for Jesus to return.  And yes, we will always have that conflict in our stomachs about the lost friends and family that we know as that wrestles with our excitement to see the King!

So here is just one other headline from today.

Food Bank Lines Continue To Grow As Crops Fail All Over The Globe

It is happening again.  Lines at food banks all across the country are getting extremely long, and this is happening even though we are still only in the very early stages of the next major economic downturn.  If the lines are this long already, what will they look like six months or a year from now?  

Since the beginning of 2022, I have been relentlessly warning my readers about the rapidly emerging food crisis that we are witnessing all over the globe.  Food supplies have been getting tighter and tighter, and now insane weather patters are causing crops to fail throughout the northern hemisphere.  

We really are moving into unprecedented territory, but this hasn't really hit home with the general population yet.

Personally, I didn't expect to see a huge surge in demand at food banks around the nation until the summer was over.  

But according to ABC News, the surge that so many of us have been anticipating is already here...

Long lines are back at food banks around the U.S. as working Americans overwhelmed by inflation turn to handouts to help feed their families.

With gas prices soaring along with grocery costs, many people are seeking charitable food for the first time, and more are arriving on foot.

It is certainly true that the cost of living is quickly eating away at our standard of living.

A single shopping cart full of food can now easily cost 250 or 300 dollars at this point, and as a result more struggling families are turning to food banks for some assistance.

In Phoenix, one food bank recently reported a 78 percent increase in demand compared to the same time last year...

The Phoenix food bank's main distribution center doled out food packages to 4,271 families during the third week in June, a 78% increase over the 2,396 families served during the same week last year, said St. Mary's spokesman Jerry Brown.

I was extremely alarmed when I first read that.

Have things really gotten this bad already?

Here;  Food Bank Lines Continue To Grow As Crops Fail All Over The Globe (prophecynewswatch.com)

The entire world depends on God.  We can't depend on modern agriculture, fertilizer and reservoirs supplying water to the desert to grow our food!  We can only depend on the Creator who "laughs at the plans of humans" as he sits on His throne.

I pray that Jesus comes quickly.  And if He doesn't, I pray that he protects His children and brings us THROUGH the storm that is coming.
