We are literally watching history in the making, and our world is going to be a much different place once this is all over.

Michael Kelly: The UK does not have the money or resources to achieve “Net Zero”; it risks a financial crash by decade’s end
Michael Kelly, an Emeritus Professor of Technology at the University of Cambridge and former government scientist, argues that the UK’s Net Zero plans by 2050 are an “engineering fantasy” due to practical, financial and resource constraints. If they persist with this Net Zero nonsense at the scale they propose, “I think there’s going to be a real crash later in the decade, a financial crash,” he said.

…Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, speaking of Israel in an interview with Russell Brand, stated: “You do not have the right to kill people, except in self-defense. Ever. Because you are not God. And if you decide that you have that right—if you decide you are God and you just get to kill people because it’s going to make the world better, or whatever, you’re a monster. And just know that. By the way, I didn’t always feel that way, but I now do. I feel it strongly enough to become unpopular by saying it.”

Clarity of objective, brilliance in execution, and the will to finish the fight wins wars.

‘Dirty bomb’ attack: This could be Iran’s next move against Israel
f Khamenei wants to make good on his threats, his next step will likely be to hit Israel with dirty bombs to spread radiation over large sections of its urban areas.

While Israel can continue its air and missile strikes to degrade the regime’s nuclear and military sites and eliminate its leadership, the Iranian military essentially flails ineffectively.

The anti-Israel, pro-Iran faction on the right lost Trump 
The other big loser in this struggle is a “woke right” faction of the conservative movement in the United States that opposes Israel and has been fervently opposed to any action to stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. The most prominent of these voices on the right is former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, whose shows and posts on the X platform reach many millions of people. As I’ve noted previously, Carlson is adamant about his distaste for Israel and his willingness to shill for the Iranian regime as well as its ally Qatar.

Commanded To Watch: Are You Greatly Anticipating The Lord’s Return?
Today, the Lord’s command for us to “watch” is perhaps the most ignored of all His direct instructions to His followers. I can’t remember hearing a sermon about it, although many pastors stress the necessity of the Great Commission because the Lord commanded us to spread the Gospel to the world. After the Lord answered the disciples’ questions regarding the signs that would mark His “coming and the end of the age” in His Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:3ff), He gave His followers (us) three specific instructions: “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42). “Therefore, you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44). “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour” (Matthew 25:13).

There Are Signs That U.S. Military Action In The Middle East Could Be Imminent – Will Iran Respond By Using Unconventional Weapons?
Just within the past few hours there have been monumental developments regarding the war in the Middle East. As you will see below, there are signs that President Trump has made some sort of really big decision. Events are moving so rapidly now. In fact, I had to come up with an entirely new outline for this article because conditions have changed so quickly.

Why Are Large Numbers Of U.S. Air Force KC-135R Stratotankers And KC-46 Pegasus Tankers Flying East Across The Atlantic?
Did President Trump just pull the trigger on a major decision? When dozens of U.S. Air Force tankers started taking off from their bases, all sorts of speculation started to erupt on social media. And then when those tankers started flying east across the Atlantic, the level of speculation escalated to a frenzy. As I write this article, the Pentagon has still not explained what all of these tankers are doing. But TWZ has accurately noted that what we are witnessing is “very peculiar”…

How drug companies bribed doctors to vaccinate, vaccinate and vaccinate
The vaccine industry and government have bribed doctors to promote vaccination.  GPs receive bonus payments for vaccinating patients, creating a conflict of interest. Doctors who question vaccination are punished with lower pay, while those who comply are rewarded, leading to a loss of professionalism and integrity in the medical field.

3 Potential Trigger Events Which Could Cause The U.S. To Get Directly Involved In Attacking Iran
Are other nations going to get involved in the war between Iran and Israel? Will we soon see the U.S. military get directly involved in attacking Iran? Those are very important questions that all of us should be considering right now. As I discussed on Friday , we really have reached one of the most critical points in our period of human history. If additional countries are drawn into the conflict, we really could be facing a World War III scenario. And if someone actually decides to use a weapon of mass destruction, things will get really crazy.
