Gradualism Rules the Day....
23 October 2021
Firstly, a sincere apology to the optimists amongst us who are now saying that the Covid tyranny is almost over and that when just a few more sheople take the jab our constitutional freedoms stolen from us, will be returned.
They will not. They are merely the thin edge of the wedge, and a vehicle for a much more sinister application will result. .
We spoke last week of vaccine passports and now something much more alarming has been revealed.
It is labelled the "Trusted Digtal Identity" and the Australian government is currently canvassing the voting public for support to allow the legislation to be passed through parliament.
On 1 October 2021, the Hon. Stuart Robert MP, Minister for Employment, Workforce, Skills, Small and Family Business released the exposure draft of the Trusted Digital Identity Bill and related legislative instruments for public consultation.
The purposes of the legislation supposedly are to:
⦁ Enable the expansion of the Australian Government Digital Identity System, specifically to enable greater participation by state and territory governments and the private sector
⦁ Enshrine in law various privacy and consumer protections, so that Australians can have confidence in the System and know that their personal information is safe and secure. [what could go wrong?]
⦁ Establish permanent governance arrangements and a strong regulatory regime.
All attempts to introduce identity cards in Australia have so far failed. This time they look to succeed.
The World Economic Forum's head, a Klaus Scwab, [pictured above] foretold this scenario in a French TV interview in 2016 when he stated that these digital platforms would finally be inserted into the human body.
As the injected fill up hospital beds around the word the unvaccinated will continue to be blamed for any outbreak - nevertheless, it will become increasingly obvious to anyone with a working brain cell that it is the experimental mRNA Gene Therapy inoculations that are causing the death and injury.
This is a war that seems all but lost and yet, as we keep saying, behind it all lies the prophecy given by the Apostle John in the Bible's book of the Revelation - where in chapter 13 just such a system is revealed to be in operation for the last 7 years of Gentile history.
This is a strong, urgent and truthful message to the unbelieving that the end of the world as we know it is upon us, and a time of fearful judgement is about to begin and will culminate in the return of Christ to end the final battle of Armageddon before all human flesh perishes.
It is past time for any thinking person to delve into the Biblical prophecies and to call out to God to save them from the wrath soon to come.
Israeli PM Bennett ‘Surprised’ by US Pressure on Settlements; Biden to Reopen Jerusalem’s ‘Palestinian’ Consulate....
22 October 2021
Israel’s Army Radio reported Wednesday morning that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was surprised by US pressure on him regarding the construction of settlements in Judea and Samaria.
According to the report, Bennett informed his cabinet ministers of the American hard stance on settlement construction, saying, “They consider this to be very important to them.”
It is, they are busy "parting" God's land.
Back in August, ahead of his first meeting in Washington with President Joe Biden, Bennett told the New York Times that he “opposed US efforts to restore a nuclear deal with Iran and ruled out peace talks with the Palestinians.”
Bennett said he wanted to expand the Judea and Samaria Jewish settlements, did not want a “consulate for Palestinians” in Jerusalem and vowed there won’t be a Palestinian State on his watch.
Bennett’s office declined to comment on the Army Radio report, saying they don’t comment on what’s being said behind closed doors in the cabinet.
Sources close to the White House told the Arab newspaper Al-Quds on Tuesday that the Biden government had decided to reopen the US consulate in eastern Jerusalem despite pressure from the Israeli government and congressional lawmakers.
According to sources quoted in the Al-Quds report, the consulate is expected to reopen “shortly” after the passing of the state budget by the Knesset in November, meaning that the consulate would open in early December.
Israel’s $1.5bn shopping list for a potential offensive on Iran’s nuclear program....
October 22, 2021
After a two-year hiatus, the Israeli Air Force is once again practicing for a possible strike on nuclear facilities in Iran, according to Hebrew media reports.
An unsourced Channel 12 report said that IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi ordered that funds for exercises simulating strikes on Iranian facilities be set aside, and directed the air force to train “intensely.”
During the summer, the Israeli government agreed on a $17.5 billion budget for 2022.
At a meeting of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee on Tuesday, Defence Minister Benny Gantz defended the budget increase saying the funds were necessary to prepare for a possible strike.
Channel 12 reported that the government was allocating $1.5 billion for an attack, with much of the funds earmarked for procuring aircraft, drones and specialized weapons needed to hit Iran’s numerous reinforced underground facilities.
Israel is said to have earmarked some 5 billion shekels ($1.5bn) towards the IDF’s price tag for a potential strike against Iran’s nuclear program.
Military sources report that this sum would be spent on the acquisition of different types of aircraft, intelligence gathering, drones and dedicated armaments for enabling attacks on Iran’s fortified underground facilities.
In other words, Israel is short at present of a full set of tools for going past a limited operation and conducting a comprehensive offensive for disabling Iran’s nuclear weapons program, say reliable military sources.
This shortfall is prominent in five main areas:
Assuming that a single raid would not finish the job, to conduct multiple waves, the Israeli Air Force would require to supplement its current force with dozens of additional F-35 and F-15 [pictured above] aircraft.
This would also call for the recruitment of more flight crews.
Once the Israeli offensive is launched, Tehran may be counted on to activate allies from four fronts closer to Israel’s borders: Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen.
To forestall this potential proxy assault, the IAF has reorganized its assets by moving F-16 short range aircraft to the Ramat David base in the north.
However, these aircraft are also in short supply and would have to be substantially augmented.
An urgent request has been put in for the advanced Boeing-built KC-46 tankers [pictured above] to refuel aircraft in flight across the 2,000km distance to Iran and back to base.
The Re’em Boeing 707 in-flight fuel craft used hitherto are 60 years old and not up to the new task.
Interim landings in Saudi Arabia or a US Gulf airbase would solve the refuelling problem.
But this option has to be counted out in light of the contacts the Saudis and Emiratis are developing with Iran.
Washington has indeed promised Israel eight advanced in-flight refueling tankers, but it will take years before they are available.
Israel is also asking for American MOAB GBU-43 bunker busters, that were designed specifically for targeting Iran’s fortified underground nuclear sites and tested once in the Afghanistan war.
Israel has a small number of bunker busters.
According to Western military observers, they were used against the Hamas’ underground “Metro” network last May in a mission dubbed “Lightning Bolt.”
This was to have been a rehearsal for raids on Iran’s underground nuclear facilities.
It turned out, however, that the Hamas bunker system had to be bombed multiple times to be effective and even then, sections of the Metro remained.
In a war situation, Israel’s satellite coverage could not be stretched to cover Iran’s vastness (1.650 sq.km) and the additional areas commanded by its four main allies.
American satellites would be called on for backup.
Consent would have to be authorized by President Joe Biden as US commander on chief. God hep us all!
A Summit at Cross Purposes: Putin talked about Syria; Bennett’s Concern – Iran.....
October 23, 2021
While President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett formally stressed opportunities for cooperation at the start of the first face to face in Sochi on Friday, October 22 common ground between them appeared to be elusive.
Neither of their opening remarks mentioned Iran by name. Putin said only, “We will be very glad to discuss regional issues.”
This was a clear pointer to disagreement over the issue that was at the forefront of the Israeli prime minister’s agenda.
Putin’s evasiveness was a mark of disapproval following the disclosure on Thursday that the Israel Air Force had resumed a training program in preparation for an attack on Iran’s nuclear program.[See previous article]
Russia remains committed to the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran as one of its six signatories and holds no stock with threats however empty.
The Russian president sought to turn the conversation to Syria.
Mocow’s military intervention in that country’s civil war was the main prop of the Assad regime.
He therefore stressed to Bennett: “As you know we are working hard to restore Syria’s basic utilities. There are problematical issues and difficulties, but also good opportunities for cooperation – naturally in all matters relating to the war on terror.”
This was a broad hint at the need to discuss Israel’s repeated air strikes over Iranian and Hizballah targets in Syria lest they undermine Bashar Assad’s rule over the country.
According to our sources, officials in Moscow indicated before the meeting that they would prefer Israel to provide earlier advance warnings of coming air strikes than they do at present.
In a sly dig at the situation of the prime minister who has led an ill-assorted government only since June, Putin commented: “We maintained good relations with the previous [Netanyahu] government for good reasons. I truly hope that despite the internal political battles, which are unavoidable in every country, your government will pursue a policy of continuity on Russian-Israel relations.”
Before embarking on the flight to Sochi, the prime minister placed a puzzling phone call to Ukrainian president Volodymy Zelensky, [pictured above] without offering any explanation.
If Bennett toyed with a plan to mediate between the two enemies, Putin and Zelensky, his timing was off.
On Thursday, Moscow accused NATO of moving forces towards Ukraine. The Russian president condemned the step as “a direct and real threat to Russia.”

Senior al Qaeda Leader Killed in U.S. Airstrike....
23 October 2021
The United States announced on Friday that an airstrike killed a senior al Qaeda leader in Syria.
“A U.S. airstrike today in northwest Syria killed senior al-Qaeda leader Abdul Hamid al-Matar. We have no indications of civilian casualties as a result of the strike, which was conducted using an MQ-9 aircraft,” Army Major John Rigsbee, a spokesperson for the U.S. Central Command, said in a statement.
“Al-Qaeda continues to present a threat to America and our allies. Al-Qaeda uses Syria as a safe haven to rebuild, coordinate with external affiliates, and plan external operations. Al-Qaeda also uses Syria as a base for threats reaching into Syria, Iraq and beyond,” Rigsbee continued.
“The removal of this al-Qaeda senior leader will disrupt the terrorist organization’s ability to further plot and carry out global attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians.”
