TREACHEROUS TIMES

“The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit” (Proverbs 12:5).

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Pervasive Perversion

‘An Unmistakable Message’: Children’s Hospital to Open Free Detransition Clinic, Admit to Lying Under Landmark Settlement. Texas Children’s Hospital, site of a whistleblower scandal involving illegal gender surgeries on minors, must form the nation’s first-ever detransition clinic by October as part of a newly finalized legal settlement with Texas. TCH must also provide such care for free for the first 5 years.

Hatred of Israel

AMB GORDON SONDLAND: America’s aid to Israel isn’t charity — it’s a bargain for US security. The irony is difficult to miss. Those who believe abandoning Israel would save America money almost certainly have the arithmetic backward. Replacing what Israel contributes—in intelligence, innovation, deterrence, military cooperation, and regional stability—would cost far more than sustaining the alliance we have today.

US Congress introduces buffer zone bill meant to protect houses of worship
US Congress members on Thursday announced legislation that aims to create buffer zones around synagogues and other houses of worship to protect worshippers from protests. The legislation came after vitriolic anti-Zionist protests at synagogues around the US and after similar legislative efforts in American states and cities.

Insane: Islamic Takeover Agenda – And So-called Progressives, Who Are Really Just Useful Idiots, Allowing It

Muslim Communist Abdul El-Sayed Wins in MI as Crowd Roars When He Drops an ‘Inshallah’ During His Election Night Speech. Muslim communist Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic Michigan primary and will now face Republican Mike Rogers in the general election in November. As he addressed his followers, he invoked “Inshallah” and the crowd roared. This is the conquest of Michigan from within using political Islam.

El-Sayed campaign backed by over $100,000 from dozens of members of group with alleged terror tiesMichigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has collected over $115,000 from people who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and designated as such in Florida and Texas.

Left’s False Prophet James Talarico is ‘Smiling Face of Red-Green Alliance that Spits on Christians & Jews to Elevate Islam.’ A new poll shows Islam-serving Democrat Rep. James Talarico is leading Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in the race for the Texas Senate. Talarico is the face of the Red-Green Alliance, and he makes it a habit to hate on both Christians & Jews while elevating Islam. Time to take a stand, Texas.

More Last Days Traitors

Communist, socialist network helped fuel Madison protests after Corey Ruiz shooting. Among the most prominent groups backing the protests are the Madison chapter of the openly communist Party for Socialism and Liberation, Freedom Inc., and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a Marxist-Leninist political organization. Protests were over a homeless man who was caught breaking into cars and was killed after injuring an officer with a knife during a struggle.

“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage” (2 Peter 2:19, KJV).

“They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him” (2 Peter 2:19, Berean Study Bible).

Vance: Federal Government Has Identified $230 Billion In Fraud Since March. Vice President Vance said the Trump administration has identified $230 billion in fraud and prevented $56 billion in fraudulent payments since the president’s Fraud Task Force was established in March.

And Their Deliberate Border Disorder

Ceuta migrant surge exposes Spain-Morocco tensions as Islamist groups reportedly seek to exploit border crisis. Thousands of migrants remained stranded in Spain’s North African city of Ceuta on Tuesday as the EU offered emergency assistance to reinforce the enclave’s border, and Spanish authorities investigated whether criminals or suspected jihadists used last week’s chaotic mass crossing to enter European territory.

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

2 deaths reported in cyclospora outbreak; Michigan cases surpass 11k. Michigan confirmed 11,234 cases of cyclosporiasis as of Aug. 3. Two people there died from the outbreak, both with significant health conditions. Cyclosporiasis is generally not considered deadly, and death is uncommon in the US. CDC reported 6,707 lab‑confirmed cases across 45 states as of July 28, a rise of over 2,500 since July 21.

Rare Bourbon virus case confirmed in New York as tick season continues. The first case of the Bourbon virus, a rare infection transmitted by the lone star tick, was recently confirmed in Long Island. Also, three cases of tularemia, also known as rabbit fever, were recently suspected in New York, another rare infection closely associated with lone star or American dog tick bites. Tularemia can be treated with antibiotics.

2nd person dies in Florida from ‘flesh-eating’ bacteria found in oysters and swimming water. There have been 14 other cases confirmed across Florida. Elsewhere, there have been six confirmed cases in Alabama and one in Connecticut. Infections are rare, but a person can get sick by swimming in the ocean with an open wound or eating contaminated raw shellfish.

Over 1,700 dead from world’s fastest-spreading Ebola outbreak as WHO offers dire warningThe Ebola outbreak is spreading at a rate that outpaces efforts to contain it. Nearly 3 months since the outbreak was declared, new cases are doubling in some hotspots. As of Monday, there were 3,874 confirmed cases and 1,751 deaths.

Weather Events…some with help from the careless and arsonists

When wildfires appear to be increasing, we need to ask who’s causing them. The European Forest Fires Information System says the number of wildfires in Europe is nearly double the 30-year average. The situation in the USA is probably worse, and in Canada, not much better. Wouldn’t this steady year-by-year increase of so-called “wildfires” raise the legitimate question of why and what or who causes them? See Arson suspect arrested in connection with one of the devastating Spokane wildfires.

Why Spokane wildfires turned so destructive. Three large wildfires raced through neighborhoods around the weekend of Aug. 1, destroying at least 600 homes and other structures and threatening many more. Tens of thousands were forced to evacuate. Dry, windy conditions converged where neighborhoods were built into forests, shrublands and grasslands. That set the stage for the latest wildland-urban disaster in the U.S.

Oregon wildfires set record for acres burned, new fires spark evacuations. Oregon set a new modern record for acres burned in wildfires on August 2, and there’s still almost two months remaining in the fire season. The state’s 60 large fires have blackened 1.978 million acres in 2026.

England and Wales suffer driest July on record. Southern England saw not only its driest July but its driest month ever recorded, in one of the “most notable summer months” since records began. Forecasters said last month was a double-record breaker for both England and Wales, experiencing their sunniest and driest July since data began.

Drought exposes World War II ships, strands boats as Europe’s river levels plunge.
Water levels on the Danube River, the second longest in Europe, have dropped so low due to drought and extreme heat over the summer that hulls of dozens of German warships from World War II are emerging, remains of an ancient mammoth were uncovered in Romania, and sections of France’s Loire riverbed are partially dry.

Typhoon Dolphin strengthens near Okinawa, 5 injured as China braces for landfall
Typhoon Dolphin re-intensified while passing close to northwestern Okinawa on Aug 7, leaving at least 5 people injured, 5 homes partially damaged. The typhoon could strengthen further before landfall between Zhejiang & northern Fujian from Aug 9-10, with eastern Zhejiang potentially receiving over 600 mm (23.6 inches) of rain.

NOAA’s new hurricane forecast predicts a quiet season in the Atlantic. The Pacific won’t be as lucky. Between 2 & 6 hurricanes, 0 & 2 major hurricanes, & 7 to 13 named storms are expected in the Atlantic for the rest of the year. Precipitation below average along eastern & southern shores is tied to El Niño, which is also responsible for above-average hurricane year in the Pacific, which sees storms hit Hawaii and the West Coast.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Trump’s Iran Trap: Why Every Path Leads to Greater Risk. Trump may command the world’s most powerful military, but he faces an enemy that understands something equally powerful: time. Iran no longer needs to defeat America on the battlefield. It only needs to make every available option so politically, militarily, and economically painful that Washington hesitates.

Trump says renewed US-Iran talks are Iran’s last chance to sign deal before decapitation. President Trump claimed talks with Iran are ongoing, but that it is the last chance to reach a deal “before decapitation.” He alleged that Iran, with backing of Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar, initiated the renewed talks because they “did not want to be hit” by strikes Trump claimed would have been the biggest attacks since World War II.

Trump claims Israel ‘very happy’ about Hamas disarmament deal, as Netanyahu indicates otherwise. A statement from Netanyahu’s office said Israel demanded “full disarmament of Hamas, including removal of the weaponry from Gaza and complete demilitarization of the Strip as a condition for any process” of withdrawal. The statement added that the agreement does not include “a sufficient response to those demands.”

A Dangerous Deal: Trump’s Board of Peace and Hamas. It’s disturbing that the new deal asserts that “no weapons shall be transferred or handed to Israel or non-Palestinian parties.” Also, the new roadmap’s conditioning of disarmament on Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Why should a terrorist organization that carried out the Oct 7, 2023 massacre in Israel be allowed to dictate the conditions of its own disarmament?

U.S. Virtually Out of Long-range Missiles. Army General: U.S. Can No Longer Defend Israel. Army General Grynkewich, head of U.S. European Command, said he can no longer defend Israel from missile attacks without another Navy destroyer. Without that nearly $3 billion ship, he must choose between defending America, which he swore an oath to do, and defending Israel, which he did not swear an oath to do.

Iran shifts to political warfare, ‘playing to the edge’ to test Trump, expert warns. (article on right side of page.) Iran is ramping up political pressure on the US in a bid to gain leverage. “This is a regime that knows it cannot win an outright battle of conventional capability. They’re even fighting a battle of wills right now against the Trump administration, both on the battlefield and diplomatically.”

Iran Wants to Humiliate Trump: Its “Plan” for Strait of Hormuz Guarantees More War
Trump and his team hoped Iran would agree to allow commercial vessels to freely travel through the Strait, but that was never going to happen, and that should be very clear to everyone at this stage. Iran’s plan will permanently ban ships belonging to the U.S., Israel and other “hostile” nations.

ARE WE LISTENING?

“He who hath ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15).

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Canadian Liberal government FORBIDS military chaplains from mentioning God at ceremonies. Canadian Armed Forces issued new guidance directing military chaplains to forbid religious-specific language, including that of Christians & including references to God, during public ceremonies & official events. This comes in spite of the Canadian national anthem’s mention of the line asking God to keep Canada “glorious and free.”

Islam and its World Takeover Agenda

When Churches Become Mosques: Islam’s Rise in a Retreating Christian America. The former Richfield Christian Reformed Church in New Jersey was purchased by the Islamic Center of Passaic County. Now plans call for the existing building to be demolished and replaced with a mosque measuring approximately 40,000 square feet.

Over 50K Moroccans Surged into Ceuta, Spain, as Social Media Critics Blame U.S., Israel, for Pushing Invasion on July 30/31: Video showed almost all military-age men just like the Biden “migrants” who invaded the US from 2020-2024. They attacked homes and broke into stores, and set vehicles ablaze as police, then the army, struggled to control the horde. Also see Trump blasted Spain migrant surge as a ‘catastrophe’ and warned the US could face worse if Democrats regain power. Moroccan authorities appeared to have facilitated the invasion. Nearly 2,000 criminals were released from prison, leading many to speculate the two were connected.

One person posted, “It’s 2am in Melilla and there are shouts of ALLAHU AKBAR on the beaches as hundreds of Moroccan men are still coming in from the sea.” As of now, many of those migrants have returned to Morocco due to police/army enforcement and lack of food due to residents and business owners locking their doors.

Words Meant to Kill: Intended Consequences of Freedom of Speech. “Oh Allah, destroy the criminal Zionists and those that support them. Count them one by one, kill them to the very last one, and do not spare a single one of them.” — Chicago-Area Imam Zayd Mohammad, MEMRI, July 3, 2026. Mosques in the US also distribute manuals which authorize violent jihad, slavery, and killing of apostates and non-Muslims.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

National Crisis of Antisemitism: Canada Receives Alarming Report on its Treatment of Jews. The results were dark and disturbing. Canada has been getting bad report cards for a number of years now, with 2025 the worst yet. 6,800 antisemitic incidents were documented across Canada in 2025—highest number recorded since the organization began tracking incidents. That’s an average of over 18 antisemitic incidents per day.

Climate Change Alarmism by Global Goblins is a Ruse for Godless Global Government

What Europe’s Lack of Air Conditioning Says About Its Civilizational Direction. Locked into a Marxist worldview, Europe’s elites are deliberately hurting their citizens. Most citizens don’t have AC. Elites in Brussels have prioritized climate alarmism, civilizational self-pity, & economic regulation over abundance, competitiveness, & technological progress – a continent that has shifted away from growth and prosperity.

Abortion Abomination

Abortion Drug Mifepristone Found in American Drinking Water. A newly published peer-reviewed study found measurable levels of abortion drug mifepristone in water samples from three American cities. Researchers collected water samples upstream & downstream of treatment facilities as well as from municipal taps in Austin, Texas; Blacksburg, Virginia; and Carbondale, Illinois.

Iniquity Shall Abound

15-year-old arrested after Seattle Center mass shooting leaves 3 dead, 4 wounded. Seattle Police Department Chief Shon Barnes said investigators believe two individuals exchanged gunfire outside the Seattle Center Armory, leaving multiple bystanders caught in the crossfire. Police believe the shooting stemmed from a conflict between two small groups who appear to be at odds with each other.

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

Florida reports first 2026 death from rare ‘flesh-eating’ bacteria. Vibrio vulnificus is a rare but potentially deadly bacterium. As of July 23, Florida had confirmed non-fatal 11 cases in 8 counties. Florida recorded 33 cases and five deaths in 2025. Vibrio vulnificus occurs naturally in warm coastal and brackish water, where fresh and salt water mix.

Explosive diarrhea parasite cases rise by thousands, now in 45 US states with over 6,700 lab‑confirmed infections since May 1 and a major outbreak linked to Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce from Mexico. More than 11,500 additional probable cases, mainly in Michigan and Ohio, remain unconfirmed by laboratories. There have been 423 hospitalizations and no deaths associated with the outbreak.

Explosive diarrhea infection spreads to UK after leaving thousands sick in America. The UK has seen a rise in cyclospora infections among travelers returning from Mexico. Cyclosporiasis infections lead to nasty but non-life-threatening symptoms, such as ‘explosive diarrhea’ and vomiting. “You’re barely able to make it to the toilet.”

Weather Events

Putnam Valley, New York declares emergency; Schodack records 299.47 mm (11.79 inches) of rain.

Heat dome heads back West, puts Phoenix, Las Vegas near 120 as 50 record highs loom. The heat dome is shifting toward the Desert Southwest and Four Corners, placing millions in line for some of the season’s most intense heat. Heat alerts remain in effect across the West through Sunday, and smoke from Pacific Northwest wildfires can make outdoor conditions even more hazardous.

Drought declared for half of England, in 7 regions, following a period of low rainfall and back-to-back heatwaves. Almost half of England’s population live in affected areas across central, eastern & southern England. The Environment Agency described conditions as “flash drought” with July set to be England’s driest month on record.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

US launches ‘powerful response’ against Iran after attempted missile attack on American forces. After a 5-night pause, U.S. forces struck Iran Wednesday, marking a major escalation in tensions following an attempted Iranian ballistic missile attack against American forces in Jordan.

US-Iran war latest update: Trump accuses Tehran of ‘terrorist behaviour’, vessels in Hormuz Strait still being hit. US President Trump has threatened more strikes on Iran as the United States, amid attacks on its bases in West Asia/Middle East, presses for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later on Saturday, Kuwait, which houses US bases, said it responded to a new round of drone attacks from Iran.

Calls for Peace and Safety

Trump announces Hamas disarmament deal in Gaza Strip; Israel refuses withdrawal until full demilitarization. The Gaza Board of Peace and the terror organization Hamas reached an agreement for disarmament of the group that would finally kickstart the ceasefire agreement, U.S. President Trump announced, though both Hamas and Israel quickly expressed skepticism.

In the Skies

Demonic Delusion: The Vatican Has a Telescope Called L.U.C.I.F.E.R. & That Is Not the Strange Part. A growing number of people believe the Catholic church is preparing for an intergalactic revelation. Are they simply observing the stars, or is there a much larger theological purpose for these celestial observations? Remember that Pope Francis said if aliens come here from other planets to the Vatican, he would baptize them.

When the Heavens Speak: Why God Uses the Sky to Get Humanity’s Attention. On Aug. 12, the skies will provide an alignment of 6 planets, a total & partial solar eclipse, and the Perseid meteor shower. They reveal God’s handiwork, follow His appointed order, and await His command. One day, He will shake the heavens, judge the earth, and send His Son to establish His kingdom. The question is not whether the heavens will speak. The question is whether humanity will listen.
