A PALL OF VILLAINY PREVAILS
HATRED OF CHRISTIANITY AKA HATRED OF GOD
Children Killed, Christian Leaders Kidnapped in Nigeria. Two Christian women and a 6-year-old boy were killed this week while other Christians were kidnapped or slain as uncontested lawlessness by Fulani herdsmen continued in Nigeria. Fulani herdsman are mostly Muslim.
Mobs of Thousands Attack Christian Homes in India. The attacks on Sept. 22-23 by mobs that swelled to over 3,000 agitators damaged homes, sent Christians fleeing for their lives and left a woman hospitalized with serious injuries, but police officers’ only response was to pressure Christians to contribute to the Hindu festivals that were the touch point of the hostilities.
Chinese Christian Bookseller Sentenced to Prison. Chinese Christian online bookstore owner, Chen Yu, was charged with “illegal business operations.” He was sentenced to seven years in prison and fined 200,000 RMB ($29,450 USD). Additionally, the 12,864 Christian books from his bookstore will be destroyed.
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come… Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:1, 12-15).
HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL AKA HATRED OF GOD
Anti-Semitic Democrats Blame Orthodox Jews for the Coronavirus. New York’s Cuomo and De Blasio blame the Jews to distract from their failures and crimes. Cuomo’s threat to synagogues was prompted by a supposed resurgence of the virus. De Blasio had already announced that the spike in the targeted areas would lead to school and business closures. Except that a number of those areas have African-American, Latino or Asian majorities. But instead Democrats and the media have focused in on the “Jewish” areas.
New York Timed Publishes Peter Beinart Op-ed Calling for End of Israel. A July article entitled “I No Longer Believe in a Jewish State” calls for Israel to be replaced with a binational, unitary state called “Israel-Palestine.”
LAWLESSNESS AND WICKEDNESS ABOUND
Saturday Night Live Celebrates Trump’s Illness. One of the mockers, Chris Rock, said, “President Trump is in the hospital from COVID, and I just wanna say my heart goes out to COVID.” Todd Starnes made this point: “The left loves to play the race card – so I’m going to make a point at their expense. Mr. Rock, who is black, seemed to relish the opportunity to disparage the white president. Were his comments made out of hate or racism?” Touché!
National Guard Deploys in Wisconsin to Enforce Curfew. The law enforcement crackdown follows Wednesday night’s violence and looting in Wauwatosa. Tweets show large numbers of National Guard vehicles on the street with tanks, guns, and riot gear. Arrests were made.

Victims question Kamala Harris’ record on sexual abuse by clergy in the Catholic church. She campaigns for the presidency as a tough-on-crime ex-prosecutor who got her start prosecuting child sexual abuse cases. Yet she was consistently silent on the Catholic Church’s sex abuse scandal — first as district attorney in San Francisco and later as California’s attorney general.
Church of England failed to protect hundreds of minors from sexual predators among their ranks. An Independent Inquiry Child Sexual Abuse panel report released Tuesday found that from the 1940s until 2018, there were 390 convicted sex offenders connected to the denomination. Alleged perpetrators were treated more supportively than victims, presenting barriers to disclosure that many victims could not overcome. The report cites numerous examples of the denomination improperly handling credible allegations of sexual abuse by clergy, namely those facing multiple accusations.
“For there are certain men crept in unawares… ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness… As Sodom and Gomorrha and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire, likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh… These are spots in your feasts of charity when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever” (Jude 1, 4, 7-8, 12-13).
Netflix indicted by Texas grand jury for ‘Cuties’ film. Netflix has been indicted on a criminal charge that alleges the streaming giant promotes “lewd visual material” of a child.
ABORTION ABOMINATION
Kamala Harris: “I Will Always Fight” for the “Right” to Abort Unborn Babies. As part of their campaign platform, Harris and Biden are calling for an end to the Hyde Amendment, which blocks taxpayer funding for elective abortions in Medicaid and other federal programs. Biden and Harris also support Roe v. Wade and want to expand it. If elected, they said they’d “codify” the abortion case into federal law to prevent states from protecting unborn babies even if the Supreme Court overturns the infamous ruling.
Harris says, “We must keep fighting to defend and expand on the progress made for women’s rights and reproductive health, not pass a 20-week abortion ban.” When attorney general of California, Harris raided undercover journalist David Daleiden’s home after he exposed Planned Parenthood’s aborted baby body parts trade. Harris met six Planned Parenthood leaders two weeks before the raid. A newly uncovered document from California Dept of Justice suggests Harris may have received specific instructions from the abortion chain about what to take when her office raided Daleiden’s home. It stated, “Planned Parenthood would like computers used to produce the videos seized.”
GREED AND FRAUD
DOJ Charges Hundreds of Healthcare professionals in Massive $6 Billion ‘Healthcare Fraud’ Bust. There are 345 charged defendants across 51 federal districts, including over 100 doctors, nurses and other licensed medical professionals. These defendants have been charged with submitting over $6 billion in false and fraudulent claims to federal health care programs and private insurers.
LAST DAYS TRAITORS (2 Timothy 3)
The Party of Hate. Democrats today have lost a sense of common decency, love of country and respect for our institutions, bearing little resemblance to the political home of former presidents such as Truman and Kennedy. In those days, Democrat Party leaders, like their GOP counterparts, were unabashedly patriotic. While Democrats and Republicans had different economic and foreign policy positions, both shared a fundamental love of our country, as well as its history and traditions. It’s a much different Democrat Party today as Socialists have become very influential.
If Democrats Take the White House and Congress in November, It Will All Be Over for The Republican Party. AKA It will be all over, period. They plan to change things so the Republican Party can never be in power again. From the article: “The future does not look bright for the Republican Party, because Democrats are going to go for the throat if they are able to take power in November, and at the moment the poll numbers appear to be very much in their favor.”
(Note: We found out in the last election that you can’t rely on what the polls say. That said, the Demo Party is determined to use every tactic they can to take over and finish what Obama started – destroying the USA.
Liberal Media August 2019: Proud Boys are Right-Wing Latinos… Liberal Media Sept. 2020: Proud Boys are White Supremacists. In August 2019 VICE News did an exposé on the Proud Boys. The Right-Wing Latinos of Miami: Proud Boys and Refugees. The YouTube video has 912,000 views. But not anymore. Democrat media needed a new bogeyman to smear and attack President Trump, so in the past year the Proud Boys have become “rightwing white supremacists.” Enter fake news New York Times….
DNI Declassifies Brennan Notes; Briefed Obama On Intelligence That Hillary Clinton Concocted Trump-Russia Allegations. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe declassified several documents, including handwritten notes from former CIA John Brennan after he briefed former president Obama on an alleged plot by Hillary Clinton to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server” ahead of the 2016 US election. “This information has been sought by hundreds of congressional requests for legitimate oversight purposes and was withheld for political spite—and the belief that they’d never get caught.”
Michelle Obama Releases Video, Says It’s “Morally Wrong” & “Racist” to Say Black Lives Matter Riots are Violent. What planet is she on, or does she think people are stupid enough to fall for that one?
Leftist Useful Idiot Agenda to Fabricate History. A group of 21 scholars published a letter on the website of the National Association of Scholars, calling for the Pulitzer Prize Board to strip New York Times’ Nikole Hannah-Jones of her 2020 prize for her article series, the “1619 project.” In particular, it attempts to cast the Atlantic slave trade as the primary factor in the founding of America, which critics have slammed as an attempt to rewrite US history through an inaccurate, left-wing lens, which suggests that the American revolution was fought to preserve slavery, rather than seeking to separate from Britain.
PANDEMIC AKA PLANDEMIC
Has the coronavirus pandemic become a SCAM-DEMIC? On one hand, the virus has killed over 1 million people. On the other hand, other viruses have killed millions more, and there weren’t lockdowns or heavy hits to the economy and people’s livelihoods. Is there a BETTER way to protect the population, prevent getting the virus and curing those who do?
Note: Many people who have died have been erroneously labeled as dying of coronavirus, so no one knows what the actual figures are. I’m sure many of you have heard reports from people who are surprised to see coronavirus listed on their loved one’s death certificate when they did not die of coronavirus.
Did the WHO Just (Accidentally) Confirm COVID Is No More Dangerous Than Flu? The World Health Organization has finally confirmed what we (and many experts and studies) have said for months – the coronavirus is no more deadly or dangerous than seasonal flu. The WHO’s top brass made this announcement during a special session of the WHO’s 34-member executive board on October 5th; it’s just that nobody seemed to really understand it. The global population is roughly 7.8 billion people; if 10% have been infected, that’s 780 million cases. The global death toll currently attributed to Sars-Cov-2 infections is 1,061,539. That’s an infection fatality rate of roughly or 0.14%. Right in line with seasonal flu and predictions of many experts from all around the world.
COVID Response Has Increased U.S. Food Insecurity. Food security in the United States increased from 88.9% in 2018 to 89.5% in 2019. Then came the COVID-19 pandemic with its panic buying; farmers destroying crops in the fields; meat-processing plant closures; and supply-chain disruptions that caused nationwide shortages of toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and several types of foods. The coronavirus did not create the problems as much as expose our food system’s over-reliance on a complicated supply chain that is vulnerable to disruption.
PLAGUE
Millions of locusts devastate fields, crops and pastures in Chile. Inhabitants and small farmers of Agua Amarilla and the Huacho in Combarbalá, Chile are facing invasion of millions of locusts, devastating crops, trees and pastures. Heavy damage has already been reported, with people starting to worry for their livelihoods.
EXTREME WEATHER AND WILDFIRES
U.S. hit by 16 billion-dollar disasters this year, so far. September 2020 saw multiple hurricanes and tropical storms, destructive fires, record heat.
Megafire or gigafire? California’s million-acre August Complex fire is so overwhelming, experts disagree on what to call it. Northern California’s August Complex fire reached a grim milestone Monday, becoming the first in modern history to burn over a million acres, which some experts are calling a “gigafire.” Wildfires in California and Australia have become so devastating over the past few years, they’re reinventing our language.
Multiple fires broke out in multiple areas across Israel on Friday, with thousands of residents forced to evacuate their homes. While most fires are believed to have been caused due to extreme heat conditions, officials in the Israeli security establishment raised concerns that some fires in the West Bank were the result of deliberate arson by “Palestinian” individuals.
Massive fires erupted on Friday in forests in southern and northern Lebanon. Lebanon has been witnessing a high level of temperature in the past few days with low humidity levels.
Forest fire engulfs 3 districts of Hatay province near Turkey’s Syrian border. The governorate said that the fire stemmed from a blast at a substation in Belen and quickly spread due to strong winds in the area. Belen Mayor Ibrahim Gül said he suspected “sabotage” as the cause of the fire.
Hurricane Delta pummels exhausted Louisiana coastline, threatens new devastation. Residents from the state have every reason to be utterly storm-exhausted. Along with being the 4th named storm to hit the state this year, not to mention the two other systems that threatened the area, Delta marked the 10th Atlantic basin storm to hit U.S. soil this season, a new record. The hectic season has outnumbered the list of 21 names designated to identify systems, forcing the National Hurricane Center to use the Greek alphabet for only the second time ever. When Delta hit land on Friday, it became the first Greek letter-named hurricane to ever make landfall in the U.S.
‘Unusually’ intense, record storm hit New York’s Capital District on October 7, killing at least two people. The storm was described as an “unusual event” with winds of 109 km/h (68 mph) — the highest daily gust for the month of October. This now ranks as one of the strongest severe weather events for 2020 in the United States. “This storm has been extremely damaging to our electricity system,” said Matt Barnett, Vice President of New York Electric Operations.
Two killed, nine missing as drenching rain hits parts of France and Italy. Storm Alex hit border regions of the two countries, bringing record rainfall in places and causing heavy flooding that swept away roads and damaged homes, authorities said last Saturday. Nice’s mayor called it the worst flooding disaster in the area for over a century.
More than 5,000 wildfires rage amid drought and record hot temperatures across South America. The country is experiencing a heatwave and registered a record high of 45.5 °C (113.9 °F) last week. In Brazil, the Amazon is recording its worst fires in a decade. Argentina had also seen a record number of fires along the Parana River, with multiple locations gripped by devastating blazes. Paraguay declared a national emergency.
Tropical Storm “Gamma” made landfall near Tulum, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico last weekend with near-hurricane force winds and very heavy rain, claiming at least 6 lives and forcing thousands to evacuate.
Strong Typhoon Chan-hom is expected to approach western Japan through Oct. 10 and eastern Japan between Oct. 10 and 11, threatening heavy rain and strong winds. People are urged to be on guard against high waves, violent winds, landslides, flooding in low-lying areas and river swelling or flooding as the typhoon approaches. A meteorologist report said some areas have received a month’s worth of rain from this typhoon.
Flooding hits six million people in East Africa. The number of people hit by seasonal flooding in East Africa has increased over five-fold in four years, according to UN figures. Nearly six million have been affected this year with 1.5 million forced from their homes. Parts of the region are recording the heaviest rains in a century.
GOD DENIERS, THE WILLFULLY IGNORANT, AND THE CLIMATE CHANGE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT RUSE
Oregon State prof blames ‘White Christians’ for West Coast wildfires. Professor Susan Shaw claims “White Christians” are responsible for the extent of the California fires based on their “denial of climate science.” She additionally claims “the White church is mostly complicit with the intersecting systems of racism and global capitalism that underlie climate change.”
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools… who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature [creation] more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen” (Romans 1:22, 25).
It’s Global Warming; It’s Global Cooling. Make up Your Minds, Scientists! Forming most of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Nunavut has been unusually cold and snowy of late, and a recent power outage rendered the region dangerous and inhospitable. Sanirajak declared a state of emergency Tuesday after a power outage continued to affect the community of 900, as both temperatures and heavy, blowing snow began to fall. COLD TIMES are returning, mid-latitudes are REFREEZING, in line with historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and meridional jet stream flow. NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.
Climate Change Is Here: It’s Going to Get Cooler, Says NASA. Climate researcher Michael Mann said last week that if President Trump is reelected, it’s “game over for the climate.” It’s the same alarmism we’ve heard for decades, all of it empty. But alarmists won’t stop telling us we’re about to set the sky on fire. Even if NASA has said record cold might be on the way. The sun, it seems, has been powering down. “We see a cooling trend,” Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center said two years ago, a remark largely ignored but still relevant. “If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold.” Like the humans it keeps alive, our star goes through phases, usually about 11 years, over the course of its life. Right now we’re in what NASA calls solar cycle 25, emerging last December from a solar minimum that fell between solar cycles 24 and 25.
Solar activity controls the climate, not anything man or cows do on Earth. And God controls solar activity. So there. And God uses weather “for correction, or for His land, or for mercy” (Joel 37:13). During the Tribulation, people will be scorched by intense heat. “And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire” (Revelation 16:8).
CIVIL UNREST
FBI Background Checks Blow Past Annual Record as Guns Fly Off Shelves. As civil unrest continues to sweep the US, more background checks for guns were conducted in the first nine months of the year than during all of 2019, according to data from the FBI.
Doomsday Camps Set To “Activate” Due to Risk of Election Violence. As the US inches closer to the Nov. 03 presidential election, federal agencies, city governments, and local police forces are preparing for political and social instabilities, no matter the election outcome. Concerns are mounting that mass protests, violent confrontations between extremist groups, and widespread property damage could be seen on election day and days after. If the outcome of the election is undecided, chaos could linger for weeks, if not months.
The prospects of civil unrest around election day have prompted a chain of US survival communities to “activate” – opening their doors for members to hunker down in bomb shelters, with an abundance of weapons and ammo, and year’s worth of food. Reuters reports Fortitude Ranch doomsday camps in West Virginia and Colorado will open both facilities to members on election day because of the threat of social unrest.
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS
Kings of the East: China Says Killing Americans Over Taiwan Is ‘Morally Justified.’ China is sending aircraft near Taiwan “almost every day” and directing them to approach in all four directions. “Hu Xijin is not just urging China to commence a war to murder millions of Taiwanese, he wants China to be able to kill millions of Americans as well.” — Richard D. Fisher, Jr., military analyst and senior fellow at the Virginia-based International Assessment and Strategy Center.
Turkey’s Erdogan Tells the World ‘Jerusalem Is Ours.’ Turkey’s claim to ownership and an Islamic proprietary interest in the city defies thousands of years of accepted wisdom that confirms some of Judaism’s holiest sites are located in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem. These include the Temple Mount and Western Wall in Jerusalem; Tomb of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs in Hebron; and Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus. That didn’t stop Erdogan during his speech lamenting the fate of Jerusalem and “Palestinians” and reaffirming his embrace of Hamas, the Islamist group that controls the Gaza Strip, and is deemed a terrorist group by Israel, E.U. and the U.S.
“Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel: But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel” (2 Chronicles 6:5-6).
Turkey’s army will be destroyed in the soon-coming Battle of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 38-39) along with the other invaders in the coalition that comes against Israel.
DEMONIC DELUSION
Fmr. Sen. Harry Reid repeats claim UFOs made US nukes unlaunchable; wants investigation. Reid, who was a prominent figure in forming the Dept of Defense’s secret UFO program, said there’ve been numerous UFO sightings by nuclear launch officers. He didn’t elaborate on any additional details supporting his claims, but said “most” UFO research “hasn’t seen the light of day.”
From Answers in Genesis: “The Bible tells us Earth was formed to be inhabited, and the other celestial bodies were created for signs, seasons, days, and years. It was to Earth that Jesus came to save us, not to another planet to save another race of beings.” The only extraterrestrials are angels and demons.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in high places [in the heavenly realm]” (Ephesians 6:12).
THE COMING ONE-WORLD FALSE CHURCH AND ANTICHRIST ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT
Joe Biden’s Campaign Odd-Sounding Campaign Slogan ‘Build Back Better’ Was Actually Taken from United Nations New World Order Agenda. “Build Back Better is a dog whistle for the Green New Deal of AOC and the Democrat Socialist, for Climate Activism, for defunding the police called for by Black Lives Matter, and for the call to ‘radically reimagine’ what life would like in a post-capitalistic, post-America, post-law and order [so-called] brave new world.”
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Says Deep State is Working With “Deep Church” to Transform Catholic Church into Spiritual Arm of New World Order. Archbishop Vigano, who formerly served as the Vatican’s ambassador to the US, is accusing elements of the Catholic hierarchy of operating as a “deep church,” working in conjunction with the American deep state, aka the Democrat Party.
Marxism, Socialism, Communism. Pope Francis Says ‘Each Country also Belongs to the Foreigner.’ In a new encyclical letter titled Fratelli Tutti (Brothers All), the pope asserts that the common destination of the earth’s goods “requires that this principle also be applied to nations, their territories and their resources.” “The question is not is Pope Francis a Socialist; the real question is he also a Marxist? Because the Jesuit pope from Argentina talks like a card-carrying commie, saying illegal immigrants have the right to enter any country they choose, and take whatever resources they need, free of charge. Fratelli Tutti. Are you kidding me? But no, sadly, he is not kidding.”
Pope Francis Pushes Globalist Communism as Solution for COVID-19 Pandemic in Latest Encyclical. He is blaming capitalism for the negative impacts of the lockdown policies.
Pope Francis Calls for Giving Organizations Such as the UN ‘Real Teeth’ To Control the Entire World. The work of the UN, the pope insists, “can be seen as the development and promotion of the rule of law, based on the realization that justice is an essential condition for achieving the ideal of universal fraternity.”
PROPHESIED RETURN OF JEWS TO ISRAEL CONTINUES
Israel to ‘immediately’ bring over 2,000 Ethiopian Jews. Netanyahu’s office said the decision comes “out of his commitment to the continued Aliyah of Jews to Israel.” Some 13,000 Ethiopian Jews are in the capital, Addis Ababa, and in Gondar, most of them waiting to be taken to Israel, which they call home. Most live in dire conditions and have threatened to stage a hunger strike if they’re not allowed to travel to their “homeland.” Many say they have family members who have settled in Israel.
“Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers”
‘PEACE’ DEALS
“Jupiter Man” Emmanuel Macron offered to broker a long-term ‘peace’ deal between Israel and Hezbollah. The move came following French inquiries into the Shi’ite terrorist organization’s position on the matter. Hezbollah is also a Lebanese political party, complete with seats in parliament. According to a source familiar with the offer, France suggested holding parallel talks to the unprecedented U.S.-brokered talks between Lebanon and Israel over their maritime border.
Assad: No relations with Israel until we restore our lands. Syria’s president stresses that ties with Israel are conditional on Israel giving up the Golan Heights. News tip for Assad: It doesn’t belong to Syria. And when the Russian/Arab coalition invades Israel in the Golan (Ezekiel 38-39), God is going to personally show the world whose land it is.
Hmm… Very interesting! A new aviation agreement was signed Thursday, which will allow Israeli jets to fly over Jordan. Jordanian flights will be able to fly through Israeli airspace as well. The agreement is set to cut travel time for passengers in the region heading for the Gulf states, Asia, Europe, and North America. The accord has been in the making for several years, with talks greatly accelerated by recent diplomatic developments. These include Israel’s accords to normalize ties with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, as well as Saudi Arabia’s decision to open its airspace for Israeli flights.
Saudi Arabia first allowed an Israeli commercial flight through its airspace as a joint US-Israeli delegation headed to the UAE to discuss the normalization treaty. A few days later, the kingdom announced its decision would not be limited to this specific flight, with all Israel-UAE air traffic given a green light. And in mid-September, Riyadh and Bahrain agreed to open skies to all Israeli passenger flights.
Many Bible prophecy experts believe it will be Petra, Jordan, where Israelis will flee when the Antichrist breaks the “peace” treaty with them mid tribulation, commits the abomination of desolation, and goes after them (Matthew 24). At this late hour, it’s likely he’s out there hiding in plain sight.
“Little children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, whereby we know that it is the last hour” (1 John 2:18).
