Why has the Chinese Military Suddenly Become so Aggressive?

With Joe Biden’s mumbling and stumbling and members of his own party looking to replace him, might China be thinking about a great time to retake Taiwan?  As we have said in the past, we’re surprised they haven’t tried it already.

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

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence (MND) on Thursday said that it had detected 66 Chinese military aircraft and vessels around the island, apparently en route to a Chinese military exercise in the Western Pacific.

The media outlet embedded a statement by Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence on its X platform.

“66 PLA aircraft and seven PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 am (2200 GMT Wednesday) today,” the statement said.

When asked about this, the Chinese government responded by declaring that the operation was about protecting “its sovereignty and territorial integrity”…

When asked about the warplanes crossing the median line at a regular press briefing in Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian avoided directly responding. “The determination of China to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity remains unrelenting,” he said.

The CCP insists that Taiwan is Chinese territory, and the Biden administration has been warned that “reunification” will take place at some point.

Let us hope that the Chinese do not choose to use this current window of opportunity to “reunify” with Taiwan, because the moment that they invade we will be at war with China and everything will change.

Unfortunately, it appears that the Chinese have been aggressively probing Taiwan’s maritime defenses.  During the first six months of 2024, the Taiwanese Coast Guard “drove away 567 Chinese boats”…

China Practicing for War With USA

As we know, if China invades Taiwan, America will technically be at war with them the next day.  Whether or not that promise of defense will actually play out remains to be seen.  So it’s not surprising to read that China is practicing for war with America.

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

SCMP highlights a post by the Turkey-based Clash Report which was the first to highlight the photos with a caption: "Chinese PLA Air Force pilots are learning to practice air strikes on American F-35 and F-22 mock-ups."

A likely location within Xingjiang region has been Qakilik (or Ruoqiang County) in the Taklamakan Desert, but this has neither been acknowledged by the Chinese government nor confirmed by any official source.

A number of the mock-up stealth fighters appeared to have suffered damage, likely by PLA aerial bombing runs, with blackened craters in a runway at the fictional airbase.

A separate report in Business Insider appears to show separate satellite images, obtained on a different date, of the same location in the desert. The images, captured in late April by Planet Labs PBC, similarly show around 20 aircraft near a runway.

Among the planes that resembles US stealth fighters, there also appears to be a P-8A Poseidon and the U-2 reconnaissance plane.

Planet Labs was also able to capture an apparent US Arleigh Burke class destroyer mock-up in the Taklamakan Desert earlier this year.

One analyst highlighted in comments made to the publication that the mock-ups likely are not just for target practice, but for honing radar and weapons-guidance software and sensitive technology.

The expert described that "these mock-ups potentially allowed China to refine seekers with image-recognition capabilities and help it develop the ability to accurately target particular ships or even specific parts of ships where a missile could do the most damage."

If Kamala Takes Over for Joe It'll be the Death Knell for U.S.-Israeli Relations

 Joe Biden had a disastrous debate a few weeks ago.  And ever since there have been members of his own party and Hollywood big shots telling Joe to step aside.  We don't know what will become of it but lots of folks are saying Kamala Harris should run because she would be the only one to have access to the Biden'ts war chest of donations.

In the latest poll that I saw of Trump vs. Kamala, Trump won by a very large margin.

But what if Biden does make it into the White House this fall and a few months later is declared mentally unfit?  Kamala would then take over as President for the next 4 years!  That'd be a real bummer because she isn't real bright and the world's despots and terrorists would be less scared of her than they are of Joe.

One of the inevitable results of President Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance last month and subsequent refusal to drop out of the 2024 presidential race in November is the increasing attention being paid to his running mate. Vice President Kamala Harris has been something of a punch line since she assumed her current office. But now that most Democratic officeholders and pundits have realized that the president is unlikely to win re-election, she has, for a number of compelling reasons, become the most likely replacement for him should he be prevailed upon to drop out. 

That means that even though she has fared poorly during her time in office, many of the same biased corporate media hacks that spent years covering up the growing evidence of Biden's lack of mental acuity are now taking up the task of convincing the country that the generally accepted opinion of Harris as someone whose talents have not kept pace with her ambition is mistaken.

One major front in the battle to reintroduce Harris to the public relates to her stance on the war waged by Israel against Hamas in Gaza after the terrorist attacks on Oct. 7. Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff, has been the figurehead for the administration's toothless "U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism." 

The vice president reminded the left-wing base of the party that she hopes to lead--either this year or in the future--that this is the one issue about which she's been willing to signal her disagreement with her boss, dubbed "Genocide Joe" by pro-Palestinian protesters for his on-again/off-again backing for Israel. In an interview with the leftist magazine The Nation, Harris lauded the mobs who have demanded that the terrorists be allowed to survive, as well as backing their calls for Israel's destruction and terrorism against Jews.

She did throw in some weasel words to distance herself from what the Israel-haters who took over campuses, and blocked streets and bridges, in addition to demonstrating outside Jewish businesses and synagogues, have been saying. But much like what Biden and other Democrats falsely assert that former President Donald Trump said about neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, Harris seems to think that those chanting "from the river to the sea" and engaging in open acts of antisemitism are very fine people.

Sympathy for anti-Semites

"They are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza," said Harris about protesters who have, in some cases, been paid by Amnesty International or even Iran. "There are things some of the protesters are saying that I absolutely reject, so I don't mean to wholesale endorse their points. But we have to navigate it. I understand the emotion behind it."

There's nothing new about Harris embracing those who libel Israel. In September 2021 during an appearance at George Mason University in Virginia, a student given the opportunity to ask the vice president a question launched into a tirade in which she claimed Israel's existence was an act of "ethnic genocide" and condemned U.S. funding for Israel's Iron Dome missile-defense system that prevents its people from being slaughtered by Palestinian terrorist rockets. 

In response, Harris didn't challenge these antisemitic libels, instead responding with a lecture about pluralism and the need for activism. "Your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed, and it must be heard," Harris told the student.

When asked about the three college presidents who wouldn't declare that advocacy for the genocide of Jews was against their schools' rules, Emhoff said the trio "lacked moral clarity." The same might be said of his wife, who seems to think that a movement that has mainstreamed hatred for Jews should be judged by its supposed good intentions.

That might be the sort of answer that the intersectional wing of the Democrats that despises Israel is looking for. Still, it poses a difficult question for Jewish Democrats, who are clinging to the dubious notion that she and her Jewish husband would be allies of a Jewish community facing a post-Oct. 7 surge of antisemitism, let alone a friend of Israel.

I have never believed that Biden would leave the race voluntarily and have pointed out to those who assume that some shadowy group of Democratic kingmakers could force him to do so that they are mistaken. Over the course of the last 60 years, American political parties have been hollowed out in the name of democracy, and there are no bosses or machines that can decide presidential nominations. Whether referring to congressional leaders, Hollywood Democrats like George Clooney or the editorial board of The New York Times, there is no "they" that can make Biden do anything he doesn't want to do. 

Everything we know about his arrogance, contempt for critics and the single-minded lust for power that defines both him and his wife argue that Biden will never concede defeat or be persuaded to withdraw. Short of Divine Providence intervening in the election in some manner (or as the president told George Stephanopoulos, "the Lord Almighty" personally telling him to drop out), Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee.

The only plausible alternative

If he were to drop out, anyone who assumes that Harris could be bypassed for the Democratic nomination is dreaming. Only she can access the money that has been raised for Biden's campaign. It's just as true that dumping a black woman from the ticket is something that the Democratic Party can't contemplate. They are fixated on identity politics and the woke catechism of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) that can be viewed as mandating Biden's choice of Harris in 2020. And that's not even mentioning the fact that female African-Americans are the Democrats' most loyal voters.

Equally important, if Biden is able to defy the pollsters and the widespread perception of his decline and defeat former President Donald Trump in November, the odds that he would be able to serve out a second term are steep, leaving many to assume that Harris, who is already a heartbeat away from the presidency, would replace him at some point in the next four years.

That makes it even more imperative that Harris undergo far more scrutiny than she has already received.

To be fair to her, few who have occupied the office of vice president have thrived in it. As John Adams, the first vice president put it, it is, "The most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived, or his imagination conceived." Unless and until they were elevated to the top job by the death of the president, virtually every vice president prior to the last half-century was not just left out of major policy decisions, but ignored.

Over the long term it really won't matter WHO becomes the next President of the USA.  As one preacher recently said, "Try and think of ANY problem that any follower of Christ might have that won't be solved by the rapture."

America is going to implode and we are getting more and more optimistic that it's going to stay together until the rapture of the church starts America's implosion.  She will NOT be available to defend Israel at that time...even if she wanted to.

In the meantime we rest in the knowledge that God has everything under control.  He's not on His throne saying, "Oh no!  I didn't want Trump as president!"

104 People Shot in Chicago Over the Weekend

 We don't have to post the pictures.  We already know the shooters are black, fatherless, selling drugs, part of a gang, dropped out of school and aren't afraid of the police at all.

In what could come close to a record-setting weekend of Chicago violence, 109 people were shot over the extended holidays since July 4th, local media reports.

"One hundred and nine people have been shot, 19 fatally, in gun violence across Chicago since Wednesday during the extended Fourth of July holiday weekend, police said," ABC7 Chicago writes. The casualty count rose throughout the day as more police and hospital data was tallied, and came across news desks.

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling and Mayor Brandon Johnson condemned the uptick in violent crime. "We have to really stop and think about the mindset of someone who will shoot a child, a helpless child an unarmed mother and think that that's okay. And go about their days," Snelling said. "Those people have to be taken off the street. They have to be put away if we're not doing that. Then we're failing other families."

The victims were teens as well as men ranging in age from 16 to 36 years old, police data indicates. The demographic strongly points to most of these being gang-related shootings.

By comparison, there were 33 people total that died from violent crime across the entire nation, thus deaths in Chicago alone made up the bulk.

July 4th and the weekend closest to it tends to be the single deadliest holiday on the calendar year in Chicago, according to past data. This year's Chicago violence is far and above that of last year's. 

The 2023 extended holiday weekend went from Friday night to Tuesday, during which time 57 people were shot and eight were killed.

“When we look at what happened this weekend, we always like to say that it’s a police issue,” Snelling continued during a press conference. "This is a societal issue. The police cannot be in everybody’s backyard. They cannot be in everyone’s home. They cannot invade every single gathering where there’s a possibility that someone may show up with a gun."

Lawlessness will increase.  The love of many will grow cold.

The black community is in a free fall.  Bastard children make up nearly 80% of all births.  Grandma can't raise a 14 yr old boy on her own.  They need Jesus but instead the community will play the victim card and blame slavery that was pushed upon their great, great grandfather.

Tragic.

Woke Churches Continue Spreading False Gospel

 I guess this is what we would expect in the very Last Days.  People don't want the Truth so instead they surround themselves with teachers and preachers who tell them what their itchy ears want to hear.  

Are you gay and want to have casual sex with other men??  That's just fine!  Jesus loves you just the way you are!  

Are you a queer person who is confused about your gender so you have a vagina but also a beard on your face and go by the pronouns of ze/zir?  That's perfect!!  You also are welcome in this church and Jesus approves of all of your activity!  No repentance!  No sin!  No change required!

Are you a man who married a woman 10 years ago but have since discovered you are polyamorous and are in love with and sleeping with another woman??  No problem!!  Embrace your desires and give the heart what the heart wants!  Remember that LOVE IS LOVE!!

In the book of Jeremiah, we are reminded of the dangers of people pretending to speak for God when, in fact, they are spreading lies.

Jeremiah 14:14: "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries, and the delusions of their own minds."

One such recent example is Presbyterian Pastor Rebecca Todd Peters, who preached that if Jesus were giving his Sermon on the Mount today, he might add, "Blessed are those who end pregnancies, for they will be known for their loving kindness."

Peters is on a mission to shift the Christian paradigm that abortion is not only not sinful but a good and moral thing to do.  She of course serves on the Clergy Advocacy Board of Planned Parenthood and often wears her Planned Parenthood stole when giving sermons. Peters ironically serves as co-moderator of the Faith and Order study for the World Council of Churches on Moral Discernment in the Churches.

She will often begin her messages by detailing her own reproductive history, readily volunteering that at 55, she is married, has two children, and has undergone two abortions.

"I felt God's presence with me as I made the decision to end two pregnancies, and I felt no guilt, no shame, no sin," she told the congregation in Chapel Hill. "A forced pregnancy or birth is not holy."

She went on to tell the Community Church of Chapel Hill: "Abortion is a moral good. Abortion is an act of love. Abortion is an act of grace," and finally: "Abortion is a blessing."

One wonders if church discipline still exists where rogue preachers can be reeled in by those higher up in the church body. However, this is the same denomination that just warned about the dangers of Christian support for Israel at its annual convention last month, suggesting such support was heretical. Heretical for believing God's promises to restore the nation of Israel and defend itself against Islamist murderers?

This denomination decided long ago that they would switch out the Word of God for progressive causes such as reproductive justice, same sex marriage, drag queen storytime in the church and anti-Israel teachings.  They are the perfect example of a woke church and thankfully as a result of it's teaching this denomination is dying fast.  

In fact so many Presbyterians have left the church that it is estimated the church could die out in two more generations.  In the meantime however, they are causing terrible damage to the body of Christ.

Not to be outdone, the Rev. Dr. Caleb J. Lines of University Christian Church in San Diego recently dressed up in Star Wars attire and declared to his congregation (with pride rainbow colors placed all over the pulpit) that Star Wars is compatible with the theology of Jesus. "God is that which is within us and all around us ... The Spirit of God ... is within you and around you, just like The Force, you see?

... I've learned to see God less as a divine being and more as a source of connection."

This theology of God simply being a force should not be too surprising after also declaring during church announcements that "We have actual Holy Week, we have the Theology of Broadway, and we have PRIDE, and those are big seasons here."

Equating Pride celebrations with Holy Week and the theology of Broadway? He didn't elaborate on the theology of Broadway, but it would be a stretch to suggest it aligned with scripture in any form.

Finally, we have the United Church of Canada, which last month dedicated a worship service to exegeting the "Progress Pride" flag for Pride Month and got some of the children in the "church" to participate in the recitation.

You will probably experience both anger and sadness as you watch the clip below and witness this "Christian Churche" brainwashing the next generation into LGBT indoctrination. 2nd Peter Chapter 5 warns us that in the last days there will be those who have the appearance of godliness but lack the power of the Holy Spirit. From such places, we are to turn away.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that wolves have snuck into the churches and are slaughtering the sheep.  Jesus told us to expect it.  But it is very hard to watch.

We need to be bold in our witness and tell people that Jesus is the only way and following Him means believing His words and being obedient to them.  Of course the unsaved world will hate you for saying such but that shouldn't surprise us either!  "The world hated me and will also hate my true followers."--Jesus

Persecution of Jews Will Bring Them Home to Israel

 The Jews were very happy in Germany...until the Germans turned on them.  Many lost their lives in the Holocaust and many of them ended up in what was soon to be Israel.

The Jews are very happy in France.  Political and religious freedom.  But now France has let in millions of Muslims who don't care for Jews and persecution has started.  We are sure that many French Jews will be packing their things and moving to Israel.

The Jews are very happy in America.  They have a huge presence in Hollywood and on Wall Street.  They are free to build synagogues and many have ascended to the highest ranks of corporate and political leadership.  But we are sure that many Jews are already feeling unsafe at colleges and universities across the country and some will be packing their things and moving to Israel.

“Jews are not safe anymore. Not in Paris, not in New York, not in Los Angeles and not in Australia. So I call all the Jewish community to come to Israel to their national, historical, religious and cultural homeland.” – Sharren Haskel

A Jewish elderly woman was violently assaulted by Arab Muslims in a violent antisemitic attack outside her home in Val-d’Oise, a northern suburb of Paris called SunBreeze. Isreali National Unity Party MK Sharren Haskel announced on Wednesday that her 88-year-old grandmother was the victim. French authorities have initiated an investigation into the attack.

The Assault

According to reports, two Arab men attacked the elderly woman while she was on her way to get blood tests. One of the assailants punched her in the face, breaking her teeth and knocking her to the ground. As she lay on the ground, the attacker continued to kick her in the back while shouting antisemitic slurs, including “Dirty Jew, dirty old lady, this is what you deserve.” The victim sustained injuries to her back, knees, shoulder, and right wrist, requiring medical treatment. She believes she was targeted because she was wearing a Star of David necklace.

Details from the Family

In an interview with i24 News, Haskel, an Isreali politician born in Canada, elaborated on the incident: “My 88-year-old grandmother lives in a northern suburb of Paris called SunBreeze. She’s very independent, even though her age, and on that morning, she went to get her blood tests. Just before she reached the laboratories, two Arab Muslims attacked her from behind, punching her, kicking her to the ground, spitting on her, calling her names like ‘dirty Jew,’ and then running away. This was a purely antisemitic attack meant to violently attack Jews and humiliate them.”

Haskel emphasized the frequency and severity of antisemitic attacks in France: “It’s not just an occasional, rare event. This is actually quite common right now in France, unfortunately. It’s very far from being dealt with. There’s nothing really that the French government is doing to protect the Jewish community.”

Response and Criticism

Condemning the escalating antisemitism, Haskel stated, “Antisemitism in France has been surging for a long time, and since October 7th, it has become unbearable while the French government remains indifferent.” She criticized the French government’s response, specifically targeting President Emmanuel Macron’s initiatives: “What Macron has said is that he wants to start an education program that should have happened 10 years ago. Right now, action is needed. The Jews need the protection of the authorities, and they don’t do anything. They’re not safe in France.”

A Call to Action

Haskel described the current situation in France as a “complete plague” of antisemitism, with violent mobs and pro-terrorist demonstrators targeting Jewish neighborhoods. “There’s violent mobs, pro-terrorists who are marching the streets, demonstrating, destroying everything in their way, targeting and driving through Jewish neighborhoods trying to find Jews. This is just unbearable,” she said. She urged the Israeli government to take a leading role in combating global antisemitism and suggested the establishment of more comprehensive databases on antisemitic incidents. “There should be more civilian initiatives like the ‘Jew hate database’ in America. It is far more effective than anything I’ve seen until now, in having a price tag against racism,” she noted.

A Personal Plea

Concluding her remarks, Haskel issued a personal plea and warning to Jews worldwide: “Jews are not safe anymore. Not in Paris, not in New York, not in Los Angeles and not in Australia. So I call all the Jewish community to come to Israel to their national, historical, religious and cultural homeland. I call them to come here because at least here there’ll be capable of defending themselves by themselves and they’re not going to be at the mercy of rulers or government who are not doing anything. It’s about time they come home. I call them personally to come home.”

"It's about time they come home.  I call them to personally to come home."  

Wow oh wow!

God uses persecution to bring the Jews back to the land promised to them via Abraham.  But why would they leave America where they have fine houses, fine businesses and a wonderful lifestyle?  Why would they leave France?  Because Jew hatred will continue forcing the Jews to leave and be concentrated in a tiny strip of land along the Mediterranean.  Sadly the near future doesn't sound good for those Jews who reject Jesus and will be forced to endure the Great Tribulation which includes the fury of the Antichrist.

Zechariah 13:8, "In the whole land', declares the Lord. "two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it.  This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold."

So 1/3 will not die but will be refined and purified.  It would also seem they will be protected by God himself at Petra, Jordan during the final 3 1/2 years and that those Jews will enter into the Millennium in their human bodies.  Those are also the Jews who will cry out to Jesus, the one whom they pierced, and finally recognize Him as Messiah.

Israel Needs to Defeat Iran

 Israel may be fighting Hamas and Hezbollah today, but they get their funding and weapons from Iran.  So do the Houthis in Yemen.  So do the militant Muslims in Syria.  Iran will fund anyone who hates Israel.

We know that Iran will be part of the Ezekiel 38 coalition so they will be around until the very end.  But God has a promise to the nations of Israel;  Once they are regathered (starting in 1948) they will never be totally destroyed.

Today we read this;

Yisrael Beiteinu MK, Avigdor Liberman, spoke to Israel National News - Arutz Sheva, and said that “without a decisive blow against Iran, we will not overcome Hezbollah or Hamas. We are fighting many fronts, but there is only one thing we need to do, to go to the source, which is Iran. Without Iran, there is no Hezbollah, no Islamic Jihad and no Hamas."

"We have won many tactical gains, but we accumulated a greater strategic loss," Liberman says. "We have eroded our deterrence down to zero," he adds and mentions that “the Iranians are telling us that there will be no peace in the north until there is a ceasefire in the south. The same is true of the Houthis in Yemen and Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria. They are firing at us from every direction. That means that our deterrence has been eroded to zero."

According to Liberman, the answer to regional terrorism must begin with defeating Iran and the destruction of its nuclear program. "In the current situation, if we don’t change the outcome, we have no chance. We cannot afford to lose this battle. If we manage to defeat Iran, everything else will fit into place, even the release of the hostages.”

"We have not provoked Iran and still the Iranians have crossed every red line in recent months. The first time they attacked us directly from Iran, and they have threatened us that if we attack in Lebanon, they will attack us again. I believe that they mean this. The nuclear report shows that they are running full force to produce nuclear weapons, and this is no longer just Israeli propaganda. They are moving forward, and we have to stop them. Whoever talks about setting up an international coalition does not understand what they are talking about. An international coalition will only hinder us and bring us down."

Are Liberman’s claims consistent with Netanyahu's incessant announcements? Liberman immediately denies this: "The problem is that he is only talking. It's been a decade since he brought the blueprint to the UN when he marked a red line. Since then, they have crossed the red line four times, and what has Netanyahu done? Nothing but talk.”

Here;  Avigdor Liberman: 'Without defeating Iran, Israel will not survive' | Israel National News - Arutz Sheva

Iran just recently elected a new president and first reports are that he is not a hardliner.  Could this be good news?  Maybe?  But it won't change the fact that the religious Muslim leaders still have a tight grip on power in Iran.  And it certainly won't change the fact that Iran will join Russia, Turkey and other Muslim nations in the Ezekiel 38 coalition.  There they will be defeated by God himself.  God will fight for Israel just as He did in the days when He brought the Jews out of Egypt and defeated the Egyptian army that was pursuing Israel.

Brain Implants and No Need for Elections

 Klaus Schwab is the globalist that most Bible readers are aware of.  He seems to be very inline with what the Antichrist will want in a New World Order.  Also, Schwab's right-hand man is a homosexual Jew who sounds very, very much like he could qualify as the right-hand man of the the Antichrist.  His name is Yuval Noah Harari.  Pay attention to that name.

Back in 2017 Klaus said he envisions a day when everyone will have brain implants and their brain waves could be read so that we might not need elections in the future.  That clip has recently resurfaced and NOW more folks are paying attention to it as Artificial Intelligence has leapt into the headlines.

A clip is going viral of World Economic Forum arch globalist leader Klaus Schwabb announcing excitedly that very soon “digital technologies” will mean that “you do not even have to have elections anymore.”

While many think it is from this year’s WEF meeting, it is not. It’s a clip from 2017, seven years ago. It’s still really creepy though, and provides a reminder of the Schwabb’s mindset, particularly now AI has advanced so much.

Schwabb was speaking with Google co-founder Sergey Brin about AI, when he brazenly suggested that it could just replace democratic voting.

Firstly Schwabb was rattling on, fantasising about everyone having brain implants and him having the capability to read everyone’s brain waves.

Yes, really. He said that out loud.

“So technology now, and digital technology, mainly have an analytical power,” Schwab then said to Brin, adding “Now, we go into predictive power and we have seen the first examples. Your company is very much involved in it.”

He then went on to state “But then the next step could be to go into prescriptive mode, which means you do not even have to have elections anymore because you can already predict [the outcome].”

“And afterward, you can say, why do we need elections? Because we know what the result will be,” he excitedly added, with big wide eyes.

Brin just sat there looking dumbfounded.

If all of these headlines don't convince you that we are very near the end of all things that we know, I'm not sure anything will.  Keep looking up for our redemption is near!
