Putin Issues Arrest Warrant for George Soros

Putin has banned Soros from Russia due to Soros efforts to destroy the Russian economy in the early 1990’s.

Russia declared in 2012 that Billionaire George Soros is a wanted man in their country, citing him and his organizations as a “threat to Russian national security”.

Is it time for the USA to do the same? Evidence is piling up that Soros is paying to incite Trump riots in the United States . It is already know that George Soros funded Black Live Matter movements. 

Soros seems to think that he is invincible. He thinks he can move the political and economic planet in a few blinks of an eye and no one can tell him to stop.

In fact, he writes books such as The Alchemy of Finance. Soros thinks he can kill political stability throughout Europe and indeed in America with no challenge.

Soros is certainly old, but he doesn’t want to be obsolete. His organization has recently been caught conducting covert operations designed to destabilize Russia.

An interesting quote from the leaked files of Soros’ Open Society Foundation: “Our inclination is to engage in activities and with actors that will understand and counter Russian support to movements defending traditional values…"

NOAA: Massive Gulf of Mexico Coral Reef Die Off

courtesy: NOAA

NOAA has issued warnings not to fish,dive, swim or boat near the East Flower Garden Bank in the Gulf of Mexico. The advisories were issued because it is not know if the pathogens could potentially affect humans.

The reef is part of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, about 100 miles off the coasts of Louisiana and Texas. Federal scientists say a massive die-off is taking place on that coral reef.

NOAA is reporting unprecedented numbers of dying corals, sponges, sea urchins, brittle stars, clams and other invertebrates. Sport divers discovered dead animals Monday, along with hazy water and patches of white mats coating corals and sponges. The divers alerted nearby federal scientists who were doing annual monitoring work on the same reef.

Some theories unrelated to NOAA study speculated the possibility the infamous BP oil spill of 2010 could be causing the problems in the Gulf of Mexico.

Judge Says No To Cross

A Federal Judge in Los Angeles County deemed the tiny cross of the mission on the county seal was unconstitutional.

Judge Christina A. Snyder granted a permanent injunction against the change on Wednesday. Adding the cross "places the County's power, prestige, and purse behind a single religion, Christianity" in violation of the U.S. and state constitutions, she wrote. The county seal is used on buildings, vehicles and publications. The original 1957 seal included a cross floating above the Hollywood Bowl. The cross was removed in 2004 when the seal was redesigned after the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California threatened legal action.

In 2014, Supervisors Michael Antonovich and Don Knabe argued for adding a cross to the top of the mission on the seal, saying it would be a more accurate portrayal. The motion passed 3-2. The ACLU and a number of clergy members from different faiths immediately sued.

China to Deploy Nuke That Reaches US Soil

A new generation of Chinese intercontinental ballistic missiles with a 14,500 km estimated range may come into service in 2016. The DF-41 would be the first Chinese missile that's not only capable of carrying multiple warheads, but can also strike any part of the U.S. from anywhere in China.

"Given the number of real reported tests, it is reasonable to speculate the DF-41 will be deployed to PLA Strategic Rocket Force bases in 2016," said Richard Fisher, senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center in Washington.

With tensions already high in the South China Sea, President Barack Obama prepares to meet China's President Xi Jinping at a nuclear security summit in Washington on Thursday.

Reports estimate that this will give China 200-400 intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles while the US and Russia both have over 4000 plus warheads stockpiled

US Calling For More Troops in Iraq

General Joseph Dunford said Friday that he expected more U.S. troops would be sent to Iraq in the coming weeks to support an offensive to retake the ISIS stronghold in Mosul.

Dunford said that he and Defense Secretary Carter "both believe that there will be an increase in U.S. forces in Iraq in coming weeks, but that decision hasn't been made" yet by President Barack Obama.

"We have a series of recommendations that we will be discussing with the president in the coming weeks to further enable our support for the Iraqi Security Forces," the chairman said.

Dunford did not say how many additional troops would be deployed, and he refused to say how many were now in Iraq beyond stating that the number currently exceeded the authorized level of 3,870 approved by Obama and agreed to by the Baghdad government.

Dunford denied published reports that the number of U.S. troops now in Iraq exceeded 5,000.

Dunford cited the deployment of about 200 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit artillery battery, based aboard the USS Kearsarge as an example of the type of support the Iraqi Security Forces will need to retake Mosul in northwestern Iraq.

10 Signs of America Collapsing

America is no longer the once giant leader of the world as in years gone by. Sin and apathy have eroded into a glutinous dependant society that is in a spiraling decline. A cesspool of debauchery and chaos seems to be in every town city and burg in the United States.

Below is a list of some conditions that America faces with no apparent answer other than to watch this country implode on itself. There appears to be no hope left.

1) Like Rome of old, the US can no longer control immigration and border security

2) Total UNFUNDED debt for the United States is $101 Trillion dollars. This includes social security, federal employee benefits and VA benefits.

3) Over 50% of all children born to women under 30 in America now are born out of wedlock. Three in ten white children are born this way, as are 53% of Hispanic babies and 73% of black babies.

4) Less Americans are at work now versus the year 2000 despite the surge in population by over 30 million people.

5) 41 million Americans are on food stamps. To keep up the current spending pace of the US government's helping hand, taxes will have to double to maintain solvency.

6) Gun sales have hit record highs. Many feel that a mounting fear of social collapse is behind increased gun and ammunition purchasing,

7) The total US National debt now stands at $19.1 Trillion dollars.

8) America's poverty rate is now the third worst among developed nations

9) 47% of Americans do not pay income taxes.

10) More than 110 Americans have a STD

Temple of Baal to be Erected in New York

Yin Bogu/Xinhua Press, via Corbis

As hard as at may be to believe the report, it is true. Reproductions of the arches for the Syrian The Temple of Baal is coming to New York City! New York times released the following article.

"NEXT month, the Temple of Baal will come to Times Square. Reproductions of the 50-foot arch that formed the temple’s entrance are to be installed in New York and in London, a tribute to the 2,000-year-old structure that the Islamic State destroyed last year in the Syrian town of Palmyra. The group’s rampage through Palmyra, a city that reached its peak in the second and third century A.D., enraged the world, spurring scholars and conservationists into action. Numerous nongovernmental organizations are now cataloging and mapping damaged cultural heritage sites in the region. It will be uncanny and thrilling to see this arch from an ancient desert civilization set against the bright lights of New York. Unfortunately, facsimiles can achieve only so much. Denuded of people, stripped of the rich social contexts in which they were once embedded, antiquities appear just as evidence of the grandeur of the past, the accomplishments of another place in another time..."

Students of the Bible will know what this represents. The gods of Baal were a great stumbling block for the children of Israel. This certainly is symbolism of how far the United States has fallen from the Grace of God. What better place for this to stand, Times Square. God's righteous Judgment is on the horizon and possibly the home for the AntiChrist.

North Korea Nuclear Bomb Test Soon?

Kim Jong-un

North Korea is capable of conducting a fifth nuclear test at any time amid signs of continued activities in the communist state's nuclear experiment site according to experts said SU Ministry said Monday

"We believe that North Korea is able to carry out a fifth nuclear test immediately," ministry spokesperson Jeong Joon-hee said during a regular briefing, stressing that the government is preparing for "all possibilities."

Seoul officials have said that Pyongyang remains "technically ready" to conduct another underground atomic experiment, and that it would push ahead with another test based upon a "political" decision.

Last week, Pyongyang threatened to conduct another test of nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles, further heightening tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The threat is seen as response to the ongoing South Korea-U.S. military drills and the recent round of new U.N. sanctions to North Korea for its nuclear test in January and long-range rocket test in February.

38 North has said that there has been "continued activity" at the North's main nuclear experiment site in Punggye-ri in the northeastern part of the country. It said that it is highly likely that the site is capable of "supporting additional tests at any time.

North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un has continued to defy the world with ongoing military tests prohibited by UN sanctions.

Syrian Kurds say that federalism is the future for Northern Syria. Syria Representatives of the Kurdish, Arab, Assyrian communities and other ethnic groups met in the town of Rmeilan in Hassakeh province to discuss bringing three Kurdish-led autonomous areas under the umbrella of a federal system.

Taj Kordsh, a spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces, one of the groups involved, stated that the move had been made after many attempts by the Kurds to be heard. "The Kurdish people have been rejected and silenced in the latest peace talks in Geneva," he said.

The Syrian government immediately rejected the move. The Syrian foreign ministry issued a warning to "anyone who dares to undermine the unity of the land and the people of Syria under any title." 

"Creating a union or a federal system ... contradicts the Syrian constitution and all the national concepts and international resolutions," the statement said.

Iran Prepares Launch of New Missile

Iran's new missile tests draws international outcry as they prepare to launch a new long-range rocket into outer space as soon as this weekend

The Simorgh missile is on the launch pad and being fueled at an undisclosed location inside Iran. Any test of a new ballistic missile would be a violation of a UN resolution forbidding Iran from working on its rocket program.

A Simorgh rocket is designed to carry a satellite into space. Officials are concerned that any space launch uses the same technology needed to launch a nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile or ICBM.

UN Security Council Resolution 2231 says Iran is “not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.”

Thursday, a senior Revolutionary Guard commander said that Iran's ballistic missile program will continue to move forward, despite threats of international sanctions.

North Korea Threatens to Nuke DC

North Korea has once again threatened to use nuclear force on the USA mainland and South Korea
North Korea released the following statement today: (full statement available at KCNA)

The U.S. imperialists (USA...) finally commenced military actions to violate the sovereignty of the DPRK and destroy its right to existence by force. 

 That is joint military rehearsal Key Resolve and Foal Eagle 16 joint military exercises that started Monday. This time they even cast away the spurious mask of "annual" and "defensive" which they have so far oft-repeated to conduct them as the most undisguised, most vicious and the largest-ever nuclear war rehearsal for invading the DPRK. 

The rehearsal cannot but be branded as the ferocious war racket that can never be tolerated by the army and people of the DPRK as it was started in the wake of the fabrication of the illegal "resolution" of the UN Security Council against the DPRK in a bid to politically isolate it and strangle its economy.

It is something unprecedented that almost all three strategic nuclear strike means of the U.S. were deployed throughout south Korea one by one and the large special operational groups and surprise strike landing teams of the three services of the U.S. forces which earned an ill fame as a group of murderers have been engaged in the exercises. 

...... The situation has reached the phase that can no longer be put under control. All facts clearly prove that the U.S. imperialists and the puppet forces have escalated the situation under the pretext of the DPRK's H-bomb test for self-defence and its satellite launch for peaceful purposes, with an aim to ignite a war against it

 .... It is the final decision made by the service personnel and people of the DPRK that they should deal with the (U.S.A.) and the (South Korea) by force of arms only as they are bereft of any common knowledge and reason. ..... If the enemy forces' war racket against the DPRK being recklessly staged in south Korea, a dangerous nuclear arsenal, is overlooked, the Korean nation will neither be safe nor will the world be able to escape from the disaster of a nuclear war. "

India Completing Nuke Sub Trials

India Nears Completion Of Nuclear Triad With Armed Submarine The developed over the past three decades, is completing its final trials in the Bay of Bengal. (File photo)

The country of India is close to putting a nuclear-armed submarine into operation, a move that would intensify a race for more nuclear weapons in Asia.

The 6,000-ton Arihant, developed over the past three decades under a secret government program, is completing its final trials in the Bay of Bengal, according to a senior navy officer

The vessel will be operated by the navy yet remain under the direct control of India's Nuclear Command Authority headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The deployment would complete India's nuclear triad, allowing it to deliver atomic weapons from land, sea and air.

Only the United States and Russia are considered full-fledged nuclear triad powers now, with China and India's capabilities still largely untested.

India's move may prod China to bolster its undersea arsenal and assist nuclear-armed allies Pakistan and North Korea in developing similar technologies. That risks potentially more dangerous altercations in Asia's waters, where territorial disputes have contributed to a region-wide naval buildup.

Wang said Tuesday he hoped that “close up” military flights and patrols by U.S. Navy ships over the contested islands would end. Kerry said he wanted China to end its militarization of the contested islands in the South China Sea. "We want to halt the expansion and the militarization of occupied features," he said.

His Chinese counterpart added that he didn't want to see any more U.S. military over flights or patrols. "We don’t hope to see any more close-up military reconnaissance or the dispatch of missile destroyers or strategic bombers to the South China Sea," said Foreign Minister Wang.

US Deploys Patriot Missiles to South Korea

The U.S. Army has temporarily deployed additional Patriot missile batteries in South Korea late Friday in response to North Korea’s nuclear test and a long-range rocket launch.

Talks are ahead next week to set up an even more sophisticated missile defense system. The extra Patriot missile battery deployment follows South Korea’s decision to shut down a shared factory park that had been the rival Koreas’ last major symbol of cooperation, but that Seoul said had been used by North Korea to fund its nuclear and missile programs.North Korea responded to the closure by deporting South Korean citizens, seizing South Korean assets and vowing to militarize the park.

The U.S. military command in South Korea said Saturday that an air defense battery from Ft. Bliss, Texas has been conducting ballistic missile training using the Patriot system at Osan Air Base near Seoul.

ALERT! North Korea Fires Long Range Rocket

Sunday North Korea defied international warnings and launched a long-range rocket that the UN and others call a cover for a banned test of technology for a missile that could strike the U.S. mainland.

The launch, which South Korean officials confirmed about two hours after an eight-day launch window opened Sunday morning, follows North Korea's widely disputed claim last month to have tested a hydrogen bomb. It will be considered a further provocation by Washington and its allies and likely draw more sanctions and condemnation from the United Nations

Seoul's Defense Ministry said that South Korea and the United States, which stations more than 28,000 troops in the South as a buttress against any North Korean aggression, have deployed key military assets, including the South's Aegis-equipped destroyers and radar spy planes, to track the North Korean rocket after its launch.

The bill is expected to be dead on arrival to Congress in a Republican controlled House and Senate.

Christian Cheerleaders Win Favor of Supreme Court

The Texas Supreme Court ruled Friday in favor of high school cheerleaders who had argued that their free speech was trampled by their school district when it ordered them not to display banners emblazoned with Bible verses at football games.

The court acknowledged in its opinion that the school district later allowed the banners. But the justices determined their ruling was necessary to protect the future display of religious-themed signs because the district has argued it retains the right to restrict them.

The banners carried various Biblical verses such as, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”

 The lawsuit now returns to the appeals court that ruled in 2014 that the cheerleaders’ lawsuit was moot because of the district’s policy change.
