Swarm of earthquakes on the Juan de Fuca Ridge

Juan-De-Fuca-Ridge

Important Takeaways:

  • Underwater volcano off northwestern US could BLOW in weeks – as 300m-long stretch is hit with ‘great swarm’ of earthquakes
  • Scientists have detected a ‘great swarm’ of earthquakes off the coast of Washington clocking as many as 200 in a single hour during one day.
  • Geologists at the University of Washington said the quakes could lead to the Juan de Fuca Ridge erupting within a few weeks or years – but the effects are believed to be mild and not likely impact anyone on land.
  • The underwater volcano sits more than 16,000 feet below the Pacific Ocean and about 150 miles off the coast of Washington.
  • On March 6, the group’s real-time monitoring network detected the earthquakes, which registered a 4.1 magnitude
  • The ‘great swarm’ of earthquakes followed multiple days of increasingly frequent quakes, according to Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), which is collecting the data for researchers to study.
  • The spike indicated a possible ‘impending magmatic rupture,’ the research group reported.
  • Officials at ONC have stressed that the effects will be mild and local, and that residents on land are extremely unlikely to feel the quake.
  • Nor is it likely to trigger tsunami activity, as a tsunami is set off by a different type of tectonic plate boundary movement: pushing together and slipping, rather than pulling apart.

Moscow’s clanging gong Medvedev’s remarks on nuclear war are only his latest wild threats against Western cities

Nuclear-Bomb-GettyImages-470309868-640x480

Important Takeaways:

  • Nuclear Threat: Russia Will Drop ‘Entire Arsenal’ on London, Washington if it Doesn’t Win Ukraine War
  • Deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, who was also formerly the Prime Minister and President of Russia in service to Vladimir Putin, has threatened Western capitals with the “entire strategic arsenal” of Russian nuclear weapons. Medvedev, for whom absolutely no slight is too small to necessitate a nuclear response, was speaking of Ukraine’s hope to retake its U.N.-recognized national territory which in some cases have been occupied by Russia for very close to ten years.
  • Russia has amended its constitution and now considers those areas — Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia — to be full parts of the Russian Republic. Attempting to push the borders back to where they were before will invite a massive retaliation, Medvedev said in his latest threat on Sunday, making clear he sees the Western states aiding Ukraine with arms as legitimate targets.
  • He said: “Attempts to return Russia to the borders of 1991 will lead to only one thing. To a global war with Western countries using the entire strategic arsenal of our state. In Kiev, Berlin, London, Washington.”

Serious talks in Washington to target Iran: Hitting Iranian proxies won’t stop them from shooting at commercial shipping and hurting innocent people

Mitch-McConnell

Important Takeaways:

  • GOP hawks press Biden to target Iran directly over soldiers’ deaths
  • “Last night, three U.S. service members were killed —and many wounded — during an unmanned aerial drone attack on our forces stationed in northeast Jordan near the Syria border,” Biden said in a statement on Sunday morning.
  • Biden said the U.S. is “still gathering the facts of this attack,” but “we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq.”
  • According to U.S. central command, 25 service members were wounded in the attack.
  • What they’re saying: Senate Minority Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called for “serious, crippling costs” to Iran, “not only on front-line terrorist proxies, but on their Iranian sponsors who wear American blood as a badge of honor.”
  • Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), said in a statement the attacks the U.S. has carried out on Iranian proxies outside Iran “will not deter Iranian aggression,” calling to “strike targets of significance inside Iran.”
  • “The only answer to these attacks must be devastating military retaliation against Iran’s terrorist forces, both in Iran and across the Middle East,” said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). “Anything less will confirm Joe Biden as a coward unworthy of being commander-in-chief.”
  • John Cornyn, in a post on the social media site X, said: “Target Tehran,” later specifying that he wants the U.S. to strike Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. and its Quds Force branch.

Border crisis while Washington pushes two-state solution: Could the United States become the Divided States over pampering Palestine?

Blinken-1068x601

Important Takeaways:

  • On Thin Ice With God: The Growing Betrayal of Israel And Obsession With Dividing Jerusalem
  • This is just the beginning of the world’s obsession with Jerusalem and the Land of Israel (see Zechariah 12:1-4). In Joel 3:1-3, the Lord refers to the efforts of the nations to divide up His Land as a reason for His judgment of them in the final climatic battle, which is likely His destruction of the world’s armies at His Second Coming. God will severely judge those who seek to divide His Land.
  • One website lists over a dozen occurrences of God displaying His displeasure at the attempts of the American government to facilitate deals that would divide up the Land of Israel. In each of the instances, calamities struck somewhere in the U.S. Some claim that these are merely “coincidences,” but it has happened far too many times for it not to be a warning from the Lord.
  • That’s why I say the Biden administration is skating on remarkably thin ice with its devious support of solutions that would endanger the welfare of the people of Israel.
  • I don’t know when the ice will break for the Biden administration or for other nations seeking to enforce the two-state solution upon Israel, but the Bible warns that it most certainly will not end well for them.

BRICS will add six nations to its ranks next year

Putin BRICS Summit

Important Takeaways:

  • The BRICS grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa will add six nations to its ranks next year, as Beijing and Moscow push for the loose collection of emerging economies to evolve into a robust counterweight to Western global dominance.
  • Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will join as members in January
  • For Beijing and Moscow, adding members is part of a long-running — and often frustrated — effort to turn a largely symbolic grouping into a vehicle for remolding international trade and finance structures to protect their interests against future sanctions from the United States and its allies.
  • Sanctions targeting Russia over the war in Ukraine have added urgency to China’s effort to create alternative global financial structures and supply chains resilient to Western disruption.
  • China and Russia have found some developing nations more receptive to their concerns about American dominance, which is part of the motivation for more members
  • The war and China-U.S. trade tensions mean that Washington has shifted its focus to the Group of Seven and is less interested in the Group of 20, creating an opportunity for BRICS to become a better platform for large developing countries to speak up
  • The “China-U.S. contest may still be locked in a stalemate, but the end result is inevitable”

North Korea warns Washington if it does not abandon its hostile approach “the question is not if a nuclear war starts, but who starts it when”

US Space Force

Important Takeaways:

  • Nuclear war is inevitable – North Korea
  • The world is just a step away from nuclear conflict, North Korean Defense Minister General Kang Sun-nam warned in a statement made public on Tuesday and presented at the Moscow International Security Conference.
  • The official blamed Washington’s desire for regime change in Pyongyang for ratcheting up tensions. He also accused the US of increasing its military presence in the region by deploying nuclear-capable aircraft and a submarine to the area.
  • “Now, the question is not if a nuclear war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, but who starts it when,” Kang warned. In this year alone, the US sent “massive strategic arms” to the region, including a nuclear-capable submarine, an aircraft carrier group, and a nuclear-capable bomber, he added.

Fed’s finding more ways to collect your data; Here’s the latest

Social Media on Phone

Important Takeaways:

  • The feds are buying mountains of your personal data and one day could use it against you
  • …a new report for the nation’s chief spymaster, Avril Haines.
  • The Fourth Amendment recognized Americans’ right “to be secure . . . against unreasonable searches and seizures.”
  • But Washington is mothballing that lofty standard for a new motto: “Those who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear.”
  • The latest federal surveillance tsunami is being spurred by purchases of commercially available information (CAI) that private companies vacuum up from data from smartphones, computers and other digital devices and trackers.
  • “CAI Increases the Power of the Government,” warns the Office of the Director of National Intelligence report. “The government would never have been permitted to compel billions of people to carry location tracking devices on their persons at all times, to log and track most of their social interactions, or to keep flawless records of all their reading habits.”
  • Yet that’s what happens nowadays.
  • Federal agencies have always been permitted to use publicly available information for investigations.
  • The Supreme Court ruled in 2018 that police need a search warrant to seize tracking data on a person’s car.
  • But government agencies can simply purchase the same information from data brokers.
  • Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) cautions, “If the government can buy its way around Fourth Amendment due-process, there will be few meaningful limits on government surveillance.”
  • [For example]
  • The Supreme Court ruled in 2018 that police need a search warrant to seize tracking data on a person’s car.
  • But government agencies can simply purchase the same information from data brokers.
  • Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) cautions, “If the government can buy its way around Fourth Amendment due-process, there will be few meaningful limits on government surveillance.”
  • The CAI rascality is only the latest federal surveillance scheme making mincemeat of Americans’ privacy:
    • Customs agents are entitled to seize and copy all the cellphone and laptop data from American citizens returning home from abroad. Any information vacuumed up is added to a massive database that the feds retain for 15 years.
    • The Department of Homeland Security browbeat money-transfer companies to surrender records of any transfer of more than $500 between any US state and 22 foreign nations, rifling a database of more than150 million cash transfers.
    • Drug Enforcement Administration launched an illegal scheme to treat anyone who purchased a money-counting machine like a drug dealer. That secret program blew up after a 2019 inspector general report.
  • How many other zany federal surveillance programs have we not heard about?
  • The answer is a secret.

You have money? Buy a politician: That’s what Black Rock and major financial services do according to this insider

Ecclesiastes 5:8 If you see the extortion[a] of the poor, or the perversion[b] of justice and fairness in the government, [c] do not be astonished by the matter. For the high official is watched by a higher official, [d] and there are higher ones over them! [e]

Important Takeaways:

  • ‘Got 10 grand? You can buy a senator’
  • A BlackRock recruiter has unleashed a firestorm with his comments on the company, its influence on Washington, and more, with those words.
  • BlackRock is a major financial services company that runs trillions of dollars in assets.
  • The video reveals BlackRock recruiter Serge Varlay saying, “because of the vast sums of money the company controls in the global market, they can essentially ‘run the world,'” according to a report from Daily Wire.
  • And the company wants to stay under the radar, he charged.
  • “They don’t want to be in the news. They don’t want people to talk about them. They don’t want to be anywhere on the radar.” He explained, “I suspect it’s because it’s easier to do things when people aren’t thinking about it.”
  • He said while BlackRock is big, it’s not alone in its scheming.
  • “All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. You can take this big f*** ton of money and buy people … It’s not who is the president, it’s who is controlling the wallet of the president. You could buy your candidates. First, there is the senators, these guys are f***ing cheap. Got 10 grand? You can buy a senator. I’ll give you 500k right now … It doesn’t matter who wins, they’re in my pocket,” he said.
  • “Ukraine is good for business, you know that right? Russia blows up Ukraine’s grain silos and the price of wheat is going to go mad up. The Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market. The price of bread, literally everything goes up and down, this is fantastic if you’re trading. Volatility creates opportunity to make profit. War is real f***ing good for business.

Time to leave: America’s biggest cities too dangerous, too expensive, too dirty to stay

Revelations 13:16-18 “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”

Important Takeaways:

  • New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., are all seeing a net exodus of college graduates (as is San Jose). Those four cities were typically the finish line for those seeking jobs in media, politics, entertainment, finance, or tech. As New Yorkers used to boast, “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.” For many college graduates, the goal was to make it in one of those four big brand cities
  • No longer. All four are plagued by a crime crisis that has bled out from those icky poor areas of the cities that college graduates avoided and into the rest of the city. New York City’s public transportation isn’t safe. San Francisco is plagued by homelessness. Los Angeles actively refuses to keep violent criminals and gang members off the streets. Washington can’t even guarantee the safety of members of Congress in their own apartments.
  • Combine that with the stupidly expensive cost of housing in those cities, and you have the least desirable professional destinations imaginable. You can hardly blame the college graduates who are making their way to Tulsa, Oklahoma, or Sioux Falls, South Dakota, among the many cities seeing an increase in working-age college graduates. Arizona, Florida, and Texas are also winners…
