Donald Trump Is Executed for Capital Crime or is Assassinated by Fellow Inmate
Both the postponed trials and the election year itself will delay all related predictions for September 2023 until March 2024 and May 2024.
The prediction above could be delayed until July or September 2024 ... or even just days or weeks before Election Day.
Vigilant Fox: Tucker Carlson Issues Major Warning on What the Establishment Has in Store for Trump
On Monday, Tucker Carlson told Dan Bongino, “If you want to know what things are going to look like in the future, just chart out what has been happening recently and ask yourself, are things accelerating or decelerating? … just chart it out. And in the case of Trump, they started with protests, they moved to impeachment. Now they’re at indictment. None of it has worked. What’s next? What could possibly be next?” he asked. That next step appears to be taking Trump off the ballot altogether. But Tucker suggested something much more sinister is looming. “If you felt, and you really believed — and a lot of them do — that the worst thing that could happen to the country, and, more specifically, to you, in the professional class, is to have Donald Trump as president. And everything you have tried has failed. And they have been accelerating steps: protests, impeachment, indictment. How many more arrows do you have in your quiver? And what’s the next one? And, of course, it’s assassination.”
MSNBC columnist demands Trump 'must die in prison' to protect democracy
MSNBC columnist and progressive radio host Dean Obeidallah said Donald Trump "must die in prison" to set an example for the public, after the former president was charged in four criminal cases. Obeidallah was discussing the media's coverage of the two leading presidential candidates' advanced ages, with his guest, Mediaite reporter Tommy Christopher, on Friday's "The Dean Obeidallah Show." Christopher believed the media hadn't shown enough "outrage" at Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley for predicting that 80-year-old President Biden was unlikely to survive another full term in office. The reporter proposed that if Biden had warned voters that 77-year-old Trump could "die in prison," conservative media would be furious.
Chicago social studies teacher, 41, who threatened to shoot Donald Trump and his son Barron, 17, at 'any opportunity I get' is accused of STALKING the teenager at his Florida high school
A former social studies teacher arrested earlier this week for threatening to shoot Donald Trump and his son Barron, 17, has now been accused of previously stalking the teen at his high school. Tracy Marie Fiorenza, 41, was arrested Monday morning in Chicago on a charge of transmitting threats to kill or injure - months after she traveled to Florida to allegedly stalk the former president's youngest son. Police in Palm Beach questioned the teacher outside the Oxbridge Academy in March, as reported by the Chicago Tribune.
Jack Smith’s Charges Against Trump Include Potential Death Penalty
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment Tuesday against former President Donald Trump for his role in attempting to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election includes several weighty felonies, including one for which death may be a penalty. 18 U.S.C § 241, “Conspiracy Against Rights,” includes a penalty of up to 10 years in federal prison. But it adds that if death results from the actions covered under this provision, the offender may be executed. One person — Ashli Babbitt, a rioter shot by a law enforcement officer — died as a result of the Capitol riot on January 6, which Smith said Tuesday was the result of Trump’s claims about the election. But Democrats have blamed Trump for the unrelated deaths of several protesters and Capitol Police officers.
Former First Lady Melania Trump Found Guilty of "Aiding and Abetting" and Imprisoned
The prediction above could be delayed until July or September 2024 ... or even just days or weeks before Election Day.
Melania Trump Is 'Complicit' With Husband Donald, Reveals Former Advisor: 'She Is His Partner in Crime'
Though Melania Trump seems to never be around her husband, Donald Trump, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former advisor to the model, said she isn't leaving in the near future. When asked by CNN host Abby Phillip if the 53-year-old would make more appearances with her husband as the 2024 presidential campaign draws closer, Winston Wolkoff replied, "I do feel strongly that Melania Trump isn't going anywhere. I believe that Melania will stay by Donald's side. Throughout all of this, she is his partner in crime." Winston Wolkoff insisted that Melania, who shares son Barron with the former president, 77, is not a damsel in distress. "Unfortunately, people keep giving her this out, this reason to believe that Melania should be freed from Donald, but Melania is complicit," she told Phillip.
EXCLUSIVE: Melania Trump urged to 'plan escape route from situation' amid Donald Trump's arrest
Melania Trump should "keep her distance" and plan "an escape route from the whole situation" amid her husband Donald Trump's recent arrest, a PR expert has suggested. Donald, 77, was placed under arrest at the Fulton County jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday. The former president of the United States turned himself in and is said to have spent less than half an hour inside the jail. As previously reported, he was booked on 13 counts related to allegations he tried to reverse Georgia's 2020 election results - including racketeering, conspiracy charges, and soliciting a public official to violate their oath of office. The politician's bond was reportedly paid to secure his release and he's attracted attention over his mugshot, which has now been widely-circulated. Now, Donald's wife Melania, 53 - whom he has been married to since 2005 - has been encouraged to "keep her distance" amid the situation by PR expert Jane Owen who shared her thoughts about the former First Lady with the Mirror recently. "If I was her I would be planning an escape route from the whole situation."
Melania Trump Blasted by Former Pal for Being Part of Donald Trump's 'Transactional Criminal Enterprise': She 'Is Very Well Aware of Everything'
Melania Trump's former unpaid advisor and pal Stephanie Winston Wolkoff recently opened up about her experience with the former First Lady on the Lights On with Jessica Denson podcast. During the discussion, Wolkoff was asked about her stance on ex-President Donald Trump's then looming indictment for January 6th and election interference. The author of book Melania & Me resigned from her position for model in 2018, however, she shared her supposed knowledge of the Trump's alleged criminal activity. "Accountability means everything, and justice means everything. And we're finally seeing that happen," she said about the indictment spearheaded by Special Counsel Jack Smith. "I think Melania Trump was subpoenaed several times in different investigations. Whether or not she complied with them and what she actually handed over is going to be, I think, a shock to all of us," Wolkoff added of the mother-of-one.
Space Crew Tragedy on Departure or Reentry
The influence of 2003, on the other hand, is much more likely to be felt in 2024. 21-year anniversaries have been taking their toll on current events in the last few years.
Therefore, we have a lot more to worry about in 2024 as that will mark the 21st anniversary of the Columbia Disaster. What could only fail to happen in 2021 has a much stronger likelihood of occurring in 2024. The year 2031 would be much worse, however, and much more certain. As there will be a great deal of space travel by then, the dangers will be magnified well beyond the space shuttle era. But currently in 2023, and still in 2024, we are and will still only be on the cusp of that new era.
Still the danger presents itself for February 2024. Whether it will happen to SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic or NASA is certainly not known at this time.
The number seven may once again be a clue to the number of crew members whose lives may be in peril.
Boeing, NASA target May 1 for first crewed flight of Starliner to the space station
NASA is five weeks away from putting astronauts aboard a new commercial crew capsule. May 1 is the target launch date for Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft on the Crew Flight Test-1 (CFT-1) mission the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams on board. The capsule will launch atop a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas 5 rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Liftoff on May 1 would be at 12:55 a.m. ET (1655 UTC) with docking taking place on May 2. “This is a thrill for me and our entire Boeing Starliner program team, working with our NASA partners,” said LeRoy Cain, the deputy Starliner program manager. “I would say we are steeped in spaceflight experience in every element and aspect of human spaceflight experience.”
Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic grounded after part ‘detaches’ on $450K space tourism voyage
In space, no one can hear a pin drop. Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic was forced to ground its rocket after a part fell off during its first space tourism flight of 2024. The “alignment pin detached” during its most recent spaceflight, Galactic 06, on Jan. 26, the company announced Tuesday. The pin was used to align the two halves of the Virgin Galactic spaceship — the “mothership” VMS Eve that pilots the voyage and the rocket that carries tourists into outer space — before takeoff. Eight people were on board when the incident occurred — four pilots divided among the two aircraft and four people who paid for the commercial trip beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Tickets for the out-of-this-world experience cost roughly $450,000.
TAIWAN INVADED and CONQUERED BY CHINA
Catastrophic Destruction to US Battleships and Aircraft Carriers
US warships will come to the aid of Taipei, but will be no match against Beijing's anti-ship missiles, swarms of fighter jets, and submarine fleets. Even the huge aircraft carriers will be extinguished like a snuffed match by tactical nuclear missiles. It will be horrible to see. Likewise, any other naval vessels from allied nations that attempt to accompany the US fleet like Australia or Japan will be totally destroyed. No more than two Chinese battleships will be damaged; one totally destroyed and the other only partially.
Russia, still an ally of China, will react with contempt and horror at this wanton destruction and conquest. The alliance will quickly grow cold and Russia will begin to guard with greater concern the frontiers and borders it shares with China, even some of the former Soviet states adjacent to it, especially since a recent skirmish on a border region. What seemed a minor event will now loom large to those in the Kremlin in the aftermath of China's ruthless display of power and arrogance.
By March 2025, Russia will declare war on China and a protracted conflict will begin that will continue until 2037.

Biden to warn Beijing against meddling in South China Sea
President Joe Biden will warn China about its increasingly aggressive activity in the South China Sea this week during summits with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Two senior US officials said Biden would express serious concern about the situation around the Second Thomas Shoal, a submerged reef in the Spratly Islands where the Chinese coastguard has used water cannons to prevent the Philippines from resupplying marines on the Sierra Madre, a rusting ship that has been lodged on the reef for 25 years. Biden will stress that the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty applies to the Sierra Madre, said the officials, adding that he expressed “deep concern” when he spoke to President Xi Jinping on Monday.
US Warns of Possible 'Miscalculation' As China Ramps Up Pressure on Taiwan
The United States said it was "closely monitoring Beijing's actions" after China's coast guard intercepted a tourist boat on Monday near one of Taiwan's front-line islands. Taiwan's coast guard said in a statement on Tuesday that the Taiwanese vessel, carrying 11 crew and 23 tourists, was boarded by six China Coast Guard officers, who reviewed their travel documents for half an hour. The passengers later told local media they feared for their lives. The incident happened a day after the Chinese coast guard said it would step up maritime law enforcement around Taiwan's outlying Kinmen islands in response to the recent deaths of two Chinese fishermen, whose speedboat—carrying four—capsized while being pursued by Taiwanese authorities for allegedly trespassing in restricted waters.
Taiwan defies China, electing a new president Beijing labeled a separatist ‘troublemaker’
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Voters in Taiwan elected Vice President Lai Ching-te as their next president on Saturday, defying warnings from Beijing not to support a candidate it has called a separatist and a “troublemaker.” The election, which China had described as “a choice between war and peace,” could test recent efforts by Beijing and Washington to repair relations that in recent years have fallen to their lowest point in decades. The status of Taiwan, one of the strongest democracies in Asia, is among the most sensitive issues between the two superpowers, and focus will now turn to any potential show of force from Beijing in response. China claims Taiwan as its own territory and has not ruled out the use of force against the island, while the U.S. is Taiwan’s most important international backer.
Taiwan’s Lai Ching-te wins presidential vote, vows to defend island from China threats
Lai, along with his running mate Hsiao Bi-khim – Taiwan’s former representative to the United States – won a total of more than 5.5 million votes. Taiwan’s electoral system is based on first-past-the-post voting, awarding the victory to the presidential-VP pairing with the highest percentage of votes. Turnout on the self-ruled island was put at more than 70 percent with some 19.5 million Taiwanese eligible to vote. A favourite to succeed incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen, who is due to step down at the end of her second consecutive term in May, Lai’s win was in line with previous forecasts. Lai ran against the main opposition party’s – the Kuomintang – candidate Hou Yu-ih , who came in a close second with 33.5 percent of the vote and the Taiwan People’s Party’s Ko Wen-Je who trailed both candidates with only 26.5 percent.
Xi warned Biden he plans to take Taiwan — by any means necessary
Chinese President Xi Jinping warned President Biden last month that he intends to end Taiwan’s decades-long de facto independence — peacefully, if possible. Xi told the 81-year-old commander-in-chief that “Beijing will reunify Taiwan with mainland China but that the timing has not yet been decided,” NBC News reported Wednesday, citing three current and former US officials briefed on the meeting. The White House didn’t deny the exchange, which occurred during a Nov. 15 summit outside San Francisco that was attended by a dozen US and Chinese officials.

China Confronts U.S. Warship as Tension Grows Over Flashpoint: "Drove it Away"
China's military said it had driven a U.S. warship from waters it claims in the South China Sea at the weekend and accused the United States of being the "biggest destroyer" of peace and stability in the region. The incident highlighted the tensions in the flashpoint region and was the first such confrontation since Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden met on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific summit in San Francisco earlier this month and reported progress on some of the issues that have strained ties between the global rivals. China's state-run People's Daily quoted Senior Colonel Tian Junli, spokesman for the People's Liberation Army's Southern Theater Command, as saying the guided-missile destroyer USS Hopper had entered China's territorial waters illegally on Saturday. It said the incident occurred near the Paracel Islands, which China calls the Xisha Islands.
Taiwan raises concerns about situation 'getting out of hand' with China drills
TAIPEI (Reuters) - The increased frequency of China's military activities around Taiwan recently has raised the risk of events "getting out of hand" and sparking an accidental clash, the island's defence minister said on Saturday. Taiwan has said that the past two weeks has seen dozens of fighters, drones, bombers and other aircraft, as well as warships and the Chinese carrier the Shandong, operating nearby. China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has in recent years carried out many such drills around the island, seeking to assert its sovereignty claims and pressure Taipei.
China risks 'immediate conflict' as new map puts FIVE South China Sea neighbors on alert
China sent tensions soaring in the Asia-Pacific region when it released an official map that set off a wave of protests from neighboring countries. The map clearly shows the now-infamous nine-dash line claiming the majority of the South China Sea which has become a global flashpoint as China builds artificial islands there to stake its claim. It also claims the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, the Doklam Plateau and the Aksai Chin region which the world's most populous countries have feuded over for years. Geopolitical analyst Kervin AuCoin told Daily Express US that the new map “has indeed intensified regional tensions and sparked concerns”, particularly in the South China Sea.
Chinese state TV shows chilling Taiwan invasion blitz video as Beijing’s forces practise sealing off island
CHINESE state TV has shown a chilling video of a simulated full scale attack on Taiwan as Beijing’s forces practised sealing off the island. Beijing’s military has been conducting three days of exercises around the self-governing island which it regards as being part of its territory. The war games saw Beijing simulate targeted strikes on Taiwan and encirclement of the island, including "sealing" it off, while dozens of planes had practised an "aerial blockade". Video released by Chinese state TV on its news programme shows warships and planes circling Taiwan.
COUNTDOWN TO WAR China ‘learning from Putin’s Ukraine disaster’ as regime prepares for all-out Taiwan blitz to ‘cut island off from US’
CHINA is preparing for an all-out blitz of Taiwan, a former US Department of Defence official has warned. Michael Beckley said Xi Jinping will have learned from Putin's disastrous mistakes in Ukraine and will aim to "hit Taiwan hard from the start" and "sever them from the outside world". On Tuesday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also said China is "learning lessons" from Putin's invasion and warned: "What is happening in Europe today could happen in East Asia tomorrow." China regards the self-governing island as part of its territory and has vowed to reunite it with the mainland - by force if necessary.
Air Force general predicts war with China in 2025, tells officers to prep by firing 'a clip' at a target, and 'aim for the head'
A four-star Air Force general sent a memo on Friday to the officers he commands that predicts the U.S. will be at war with China in two years and tells them to get ready to prep by firing "a clip" at a target, and "aim for the head." In the memo sent Friday and obtained by NBC News, Gen. Mike Minihan, head of Air Mobility Command, said, “I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me will fight in 2025.” Minihan said in the memo that because both Taiwan and the U.S. will have presidential elections in 2024, the U.S. will be “distracted,” and Chinese President Xi Jinping will have an opportunity to move on Taiwan.
I can't explain Russia going to war with China in 2025 though, as both Jeane Dixon and Nostradamus predicted. But that is because of the ongoing Russian war in Ukraine. There may be a reason Russia will pull out of Ukraine and another reason Russia will perceive China as an enemy rather than as an ally. I have read some articles indicating that Russia and China are not as friendly as much of the news media makes out and, indeed, have some major differences in their relationship that could turn adversarial.

GOP Rep. Tenney calls to invoke 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office after 'alarming' Hur report
EXCLUSIVE: Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney is calling for the Cabinet to "explore" the use of the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove President Biden from office, following Special Counsel Robert Hur’s "alarming" report. Hur did not recommend criminal charges against the president for mishandling classified documents. Those records included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, among other records related to national security and foreign policy which Hur said implicated "sensitive intelligence sources and methods."
WATCH: Biden Confuses Mexico and Egypt in Stunning Gaffe During Presser Meant to Assuage Fears About His Cognitive Function
Hours after the release of a Special Counsel report which took repeated shots at his cognitive function, President Joe Biden made a gaffe which seems certain to exacerbate the public’s concerns. In a stunning moment during an impromptu White House news conference late Thursday, the president made a shocking gaffe by confusing Mexico with Egypt. The jawdropping error happened when Biden fielded a reporter’s question about Israel and Hamas. “As you know, initially, the president of Mexico, al-Sisi did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in,” Biden said. “I talked to him. I convinced him to open the gate.”
Biden angrily pushes back at special counsel’s report that questioned his memory, handling of docs
WASHINGTON (AP) — A special counsel report released Thursday found evidence that President Joe Biden willfully retained and shared highly classified information when he was a private citizen, including about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, but concluded that criminal charges were not warranted. The report from special counsel Robert Hur resolves a criminal investigation that had shadowed Biden’s presidency for the last year. But its bitingly critical assessment of his handling of sensitive government records and unflattering characterizations of his memory will spark fresh questions about his competency and age that cut at voters’ most deep-seated concerns about his candidacy for re-election. In remarks at the White House Thursday evening, Biden denied that he improperly shared classified information and angrily lashed out at Hur for questioning his mental acuity, particularly his recollection of the timing of his late son Beau’s death from cancer.
Harris takes center stage in 2024 abortion fight
Vice President Harris has cemented herself as the Biden administration’s foremost messenger on abortion rights, the issue that the White House hopes will define the 2024 election cycle. After an uneven first 18 months in office, where Harris faced criticism over her ability to handle complex and intractable matters including migration and voting rights, the vice president has planted her flag in the fight over reproductive rights.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas talked with Vice President Kamala Harris about efforts to reduce gun violence in the city at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 18. The Thursday one-on-one follows a mass shooting near the food court at Crown Center that injured six people Wednesday evening.
Democratic rebels send Biden stern message on Gaza
A group of Senate Democrats voted Tuesday in favor of advancing a resolution sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to potentially freeze U.S. military aid to Israel, sending a pointed message to President Biden that the war in Gaza is becoming a major problem for his party. The Senate voted 72 to 11 to table the matter, but the number of Democrats who supported the measure reflects rising dissatisfaction among progressives over the civilian casualties in Gaza, which are now said to exceed 24,000.
Bernie Sanders turns up the heat on Biden with historic move
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is putting President Joe Biden and his support for Israel‘s war against Hamas in the hot seat, spearheading a vote on a resolution to examine the war effort. The Senate is slated to hold a vote on Tuesday on a resolution, which would have the State Department examine if weapons the U.S. has given to Israel have been used to commit acts that violate international human rights law. Sanders has led the effort and told Punchbowl News that he is concerned about how the war is affecting civilians in Gaza.A group of Senate Democrats voted Tuesday in favor of advancing a resolution sponsored by Sen.

ANTIPOPE and THE GREAT SCHISM
Sept mois sans plus obtiendra prelature, par son deces grand schisme sera naistre:
Sept mois tiendra un autre la preture, pres de Venise paix union renaistre.
Seven months, no longer, without further prelature obtained, through his death a great schism will arise:
For seven months another acts as pastor, near Venice, peace and union are reborn.
Some antipopes were popes that resigned or were forced to resign and yet were still recognized after another pope was elected. The current situation with Benedict and Francis is not unique, but it has been a very long time. Some were elected but the election was later determined to be invalid. During a schism or other unstable state of affairs a pope can be installed or appointed by special interest groups or powerful families, often illegally.
What makes this prophecy of interest is that it has been a very long time since an antipope has reigned: not since Amadeus VIII, Duke of Savoy (Antipope Felix V) resigned in April 1449.
The dates here have some flexibility and could be off by many months, even up to a full year. It is only sufficient that the two seven-month reigns and great Schism occur and are completed before the end of 2025. Thus, the reign of Pope Francis could conceivably extend well into 2024. However Pope Benedict XVI did die of natural causes in 2023 as I predicted.
According to Quatrain 5.46 (below) The reign of the Antipope will be marked by new schisms that finally reach the level of a full Schism not seen in hundreds of years. He will "act as Pastor" when his predecessor, "The Sabine," dies after only seven years in office and without having won the full approval of the Church (making him an "almost but not quite" pope). His successor, the Antipope, may be partly Greek. The legitimacy of his papacy will come under attack by a group of cardinals at a time of friction between Italy and Albania (or Kosovo). By this time Greece and Turkey may be at war and Albania or Kosovo will likely be allied with the Turks since in another quatrain Albania invades Macedonia. It is also the possible the war in question will not be between Turkey and Greece, but the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine that is threatening to expand to Poland, Turkey, and Lithuania, and possibly southwards to Hungary and Serbia.
Par chapeaux rouges querelles & nouveaux schismes,
Quand on aura esleu le Sabinois:
On produira contre lui grans sophismes,
Et sera Rome lesse par Albanois.
By red hats & quarrels, new schisms
When the Sabine has been assigned:
They will produce great sophism against him,
And Rome will be wounded by the Albanians.
Fortunately the schism will end after seven months because the French prophet says "peace and union are reborn." A new pope will be elected who will reign for 13 years and will take the name Pope Paul VII.
If we continue to take St. Malachy seriously, the two schism popes (an "almost" pope and an antipope) may not (or should not) receive mottoes nor be considered in the lineage of 112 popes.

Opposition protesters hurl petrol bombs at Albania government building
TIRANA, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Opposition protesters pelted Albania's government building with petrol bombs and rocks late on Tuesday, accusing state officials of involvement in organised crime and corruption after their leader was placed under house arrest. Thousands gathered in front of the government headquarters in the capital Tirana as riot police officers were called in to cordon off the office of Prime Minister Edi Rama. There were no immediate reports of injuries, serious damage or arrests.
Cardinal Schönborn warns of schism as Vatican stops German bishops’ vote on lay
AUGSBURG, Germany (OSV News) -- Cardinal Christoph Schönborn of Vienna warned of schism as German bishops want to keep to their reform course despite the latest letter from Rome, which halted the vote on the statutes of a Synodal Committee. The move has proceed “in dialogue with Rome,” the president of the German bishops’ conference, Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, said in Augsburg Feb. 19. He called the coordination of fundamental church reforms with the Vatican “a matter of course.” That is why, he said, “out of respect for those responsible in Rome,” he had removed the controversial voting from the agenda of the bishops’ meeting in Augsburg, at which the establishment of a Synodal Committee for Germany was to be decided. “We do not want to and cannot ignore the Roman objection. Now we have to talk,” said Bishop Bätzing.
US peacekeepers ready to prevent violence in north Kosovo, commander says
LEPOSAVIC, Kosovo, Feb 16 (Reuters) - U.S. peacekeeping troops in Kosovo are well equipped and stand ready to prevent violence in the country's ethnically divided north, often the scene of armed clashes in which most recently a policeman was killed, a commander told Reuters. NATO has reinforced its presence with another 1,000 troops after violence last September during which the policeman was killed in a shootout between Kosovo police and gunmen who entered from Serbia. More than 570 U.S. soldiers serve under the NATO-led mission, which in total has around 4,500 troops deployed.
Pope Francis Rebellion Grows as 90 Catholic Figures Sign Scathing Letter
A group of 90 Catholic clergymen, scholars and authors have published a joint letter to "all Cardinals and Bishops of the Catholic Church," urging them to oppose a Vatican document approved by Pope Francis that allows priests to bless same-sex unions for the first time. In the letter, the Catholic conservatives say that Fiducia Supplicans, a Vatican doctrine released on December 18 and signed by the Pope, would lead to the blessing of "objectively sinful" relationships. They add that the cardinals and bishops should "forbid immediately the application of this document in your diocese" and "ask directly the Pope to urgently withdraw this unfortunate document, which is in contradiction with both Scripture and the universal and uninterrupted Tradition of the Church."
It doesn't matter if what I projected date-wise did not happen in 2023 and, thus far, not yet in 2024. I believe the 7/7/Schism/Albania scenario is what is next ... whether it begins in 2024, 2025 or 2026. It is the next likely thing, so watch these two predictions on the 2023 and 2024 predictions pages.
Pope Francis Should Be Arrested Over 'Perverted' Book, Archbishop Says
An archbishop has launched an attack against Pope Francis over the controversy surrounding a book written by a cardinal in 1998. Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, an Italian clergyman who has frequently found himself at odds with Pope Francis over the direction of the Catholic church, has taken to social media to blast a resurfaced book written 25 years ago by another cleric. The archbishop views the work as "pornographic" and a "perversion," and has now demanded the arrest of both the writer, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, and the Pope. Newsweek has reached out to the Vatican by email seeking comment. The archbishop previously served as a Vatican ambassador to the U.S. for five years; he was appointed as Apostolic Nuncio in 2011 and remained in post until his retirement in 2016.
NATO bolsters forces in Kosovo as US urges Serbia to withdraw from border
NATO said on Friday it is increasing its peacekeeping presence in northern Kosovo as a result of escalating tensions with neighboring Serbia, as the U.S. called on Serbia to withdraw a military buildup on the border with Kosovo. The heightening of tensions comes after about 30 heavily armed Serbs stormed the northern Kosovo village of Banjska last Sunday. A Kosovo policeman and three of the attackers were killed in gun battles. “We need NATO because the border with Serbia is very long and the Serbian army has been recently strengthening its capacities,” Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti told the Associated Press. “They have a lot of military equipment from both the Russian Federation and China,” he said.
Pope Francis-critic Cardinal Burke warns Synod on Synodality could lead to schism
VATICAN CITY (RNS) — Cardinal Raymond Burke, a former American archbishop and Vatican official who is considered the de facto leader of Catholic conservatives, has written in the preface to a new book that Pope Francis is risking confusion and even schism in leading the upcoming Synod on Synodality in Rome. “Synodality and its adjective, synodal, have become slogans behind which a revolution is at work to change radically the Church’s self-understanding, in accord with a contemporary ideology which denies much of what the Church has always taught and practiced,” Burke said in his preface to “The Synodal Process Is a Pandora’s Box: 100 Questions and Answers.”
Ethnic Serbs and Albanians are at each others’ throats -- This time Kosovo’s ethnic Albanians are largely to blame
It was “an escalation on top of a previous escalation,” said Gabriel Escobar, an American diplomat charged with helping the eu to calm relations between Serbia and Kosovo, a republic of under 2m people which most of the Western world recognises as an independent country but which Serbia still considers its own land. On June 14th three Kosovo policemen were arrested by Serbian police, though the two sides dispute which side of the border they were on. On June 26th they were freed. But this latest of many Kosovo-Serbia crises persists.
Kosovo-Serbia conflict creates fear of escalation in tense Europe
A growing conflict between Kosovo and Serbia is threatening to become a major crisis for the U.S. and Western leaders who are already responding to the largest land war in Europe since World War II. With a war raging in Ukraine, Washington is trying to deftly navigate a series of violent clashes and boiling tensions in the independent state of Kosovo, which remain unresolved more than a month after the conflict erupted. Last week, the standoff grew worse after neighboring Serbia, which placed its combat forces on high alert, arrested three Kosovan police officers and ignored international calls to release them. Kosovo responded to the arrest by closing its borders with Serbia.
Widening Schism: Cardinals Call for Trial and Removal of German Catholic Leadership
Two cardinals—Raymond Burke (U.S.) and Gerhard Müller (Germany)—called for the trial and punishment of Catholic leaders in Germany after the country’s Catholic Church officially approved the blessing of same-sex couples. As we reported before, the German Catholic Church went “reform-mad” during its Fifth Synodal Assembly in Frankfurt, March 9-11, where not only same-sex partnerships were on the agenda, but also the legitimacy of self-assigned gender, the re-examination of compulsory celibacy of priests, and preaching authority of women and non-ordained men.
Who Will Win the Catholic Civil War? Are Francis’s days as pope numbered?
Since the death of Pope Benedict xvi on Dec. 31, 2022, the Catholic Church has broken into infighting—with some wondering if Pope Francis himself will soon become a casualty. Even at Benedict’s funeral, divisions were on display. The former pope had no hearse; his coffin was carted off in a white van. In his homily, Pope Francis only mentioned his predecessor once. “There are many of us who were never particularly enamored of Joseph Ratzinger,” wrote Vatican correspondent Robert Mickens. But in his view even Benedict “deserved better than this.”
Pope Pleads for Peace, Internal Discord Continues and German Bishops Defiant
Pope Francis has expressed grave concerns about the German Synodal Way, most notably in his 2019 letter to German Catholics. In July of this year, the Vatican published another warning that the German Synodal Way could lead to schism, and Pope Francis gave a clear enunciation of the Church’s position on the ordination of women immediately after his Nov. 17 ad limina meeting with German bishops in the Vatican.
Catholic power politics boil even closer to schism
American hardliners in Catholic leadership are dragging their religion closer and closer to schism. They absolutely despise Pope Francis, and lately they’ve been ramping up their defiance of him. The hardliners’ defiance hit a fever pitch last month at a big conference, which makes schism even more of a possibility. Meanwhile, the rank-and-file Catholics in America who just wanna have their ‘hootenanny Masses‘ watch their leaders’ antics in complete bewilderment—and with more than a little annoyance.
First Israeli-Iranian War: Ground Invasion of Syria, Air Strikes on Iran
Escalation of Israeli's "War Between Wars" Leads to Total War
Because Lebanon is in dire economic straits, it has avoided being pulled directly into Israel's conflict. It is believed Hezbollah punished the Beirut government by igniting explosives in a downtown warehouse that created two explosions, one many thought to be nuclear due to its appearance, destroying large parts of the city. The depressed state of the country has also kept it from falling into another civil war.
It has to be kept in mind when analyzing this coming base 7 vector that the Israeli war in Lebanon in 1982 was a conflict within a civil war that had started in 1978. Lebanon is not currently in a civil war so we would not expect a repeat of what happened in 1982 again in 2024.
Israel's conflict with Iran will be attacks from the air and at sea mostly, although it is possible Israeli ground forces will be deployed in the UAE or Saudi Arabia and direct military engagement with Iran will be launched from those areas. For all intents and purposes this will be similar to a major Arab-Israeli War, but the combatants will instead be Israeli and Iranian. Syria and Gaza (Hamas) will also be involved, but largely in the form of air strikes. Other Arab states will stay on the sidelines.
THE UNITED STATES may join Israel in the ground war against Iran at this time. If it does, the war will continue until February 2026. Otherwise, Israel will withdraw several months later and a ceasefire will be declared.

Hezbollah deepens rocket, drones attack on northern Israel amid commander elimination
Hezbollah claimed responsibility on Tuesday for firing rockets and attack drones toward Nahariya and Kiryat Shmona, asserting that the targets were military. The terror group also stated that the attack was in response to Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, and the assassination of a Hezbollah commander. Along the shores of Acre, sirens blared for the first time since December. Videos captured swimmers scrambling in panic, some fleeing the beach during the alerts.
Israel hits back at Iran in retaliatory strike, targeting nuclear research facility and major airbase: reports
Israel launched its expected retaliatory strike against Iran on Friday morning, according to multiple reports. Israeli missiles hit at least one site in Iran, ABC News reported, citing US officials, and Iranian state media alerted citizens to explosions heard in the central part of the Islamic republic. The attack comes after Iran rained down more than 300 drones and missiles toward the Jewish nation last Saturday — though nearly all were intercepted by Israel and its allies.
Iran and Israel's open warfare after decades of shadow war
(Reuters) -Israel launched a strike on Iranian soil on Friday, sources said, in the latest of the tit-for-tat exchanges between the regional arch foes whose long-running shadow war has broken into the open. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had vowed his country would respond after Iran fired drones and missiles at Israel on April 13. Tehran's action, its first-ever strike on Israel, had been in retaliation for a suspected Israeli air strike on Tehran's embassy compound in Damascus on April 1.
'Nothing would remain': Iran's president vows to completely destroy Israel if it launches ‘tiniest invasion’
Iran’s president has vowed to completely destroy Israel, should it proceed with even the "tiniest invasion" of its country. President Ebrahim Raisi spoke Wednesday at an annual army parade warning Israel of a "massive and harsh" response, as the country braces for potential Israeli retaliation after Iran’s missile and drone attack over the weekend. Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel on Saturday in response to an apparent strike on Iran’s embassy compound in Syria on April 1 that killed 12 people, including two Iranian generals. Iran blames Israel for the attack, although Israel has not claimed any involvement.
'Death to Israel' in Turkish parliament during Erdogan speech
The speech of Turkish Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Parliament in Ankara on Wednesday, was cheered on from the audience with calls "Death to Israel." Erdogan claimed Israel had repeatedly attempted to topple the Turkish government in recent decades and told parliamentarians that he expects to host the head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh on the weekend, calling him "leader of the Palestinian struggle."
Israel's Iron Dome 'overwhelmed' by Hezbollah rockets as Iran begins unleashing hell
Israel's Iron Dome is being "overwhelmed" by Hezbollah rockets, according to reports, as officials have warned an attack by Iran is imminent. A second round of Hezbollah missiles hit the dome on Friday, sources said. Videos show multiple rockets from the Iran-backed group soaring across northern Israel and hitting the dome as sirens blare in the background. Observers said the rockets appeared to have "overwhelmed" the Iron Dome, due to the sheer scale of the attack, though no casualties have been confirmed yet. This comes as Israel’s military said Thursday it is prepared to defend the country and strike back if Iran retaliates for a deadly airstrike on the Iranian Consulate in Syria
Israel Bracing for Unprecedented Direct Iran Attack in Days
(Bloomberg) -- Israel is bracing for a direct and unprecedented attack by Iran on government targets as soon as Saturday, according to people familiar with western intelligence assessments, a move that has the potential to trigger an all-out regional war. An assault from Iranian soil has emerged as one of the main scenarios expected by the Jewish state and its allies, said the people, who asked not to be identified as they aren’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly. A bombardment with drones and precision missiles could come within the next 48 hours, they said.
Israel is pulling some troops from southern Gaza. Now the plan is to clear Hamas from Rafah
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s military announced Sunday it had withdrawn its forces from the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, wrapping up a key phase in its ground offensive against the Hamas militant group and bringing its troop presence in the territory to one of the lowest levels since the six-month war began. But defense officials said troops were merely regrouping as the army prepares to move into Hamas’ last stronghold, Rafah. “The war in Gaza continues, and we are far from stopping,” said the military chief, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi. Local broadcaster Channel 13 TV reported that Israel was preparing to begin evacuating Rafah within one week and the process could take several months.
Iran vows revenge as it accuses Israel of deadly airstrike on Syria consulate in deepening Middle East crisis
CNN — Iran has vowed to retaliate after it accused Israel of bombing its embassy complex in Syria on Monday, in a deadly escalation of regional tensions over the war in Gaza that once again appeared to raise the risk of a wider Middle Eastern conflict. The airstrike destroyed the consulate building in the capital Damascus, killing at least seven officials including Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a top commander in Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), and senior commander Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, according to Iran’s Foreign Ministry. At least six Syrian citizens were also killed, Iranian state television reported on Tuesday.
Israeli air strikes target Ghaziyeh in southern Lebanon
Israeli forces have carried out at least two air strikes on the coastal town of Ghaziyeh in southern Lebanon, according to the Israeli military and Lebanese state media. The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging near-daily fire across the border since Israel launched its assault on Gaza in response to a Hamas-led attack on October 7. “Israeli warplanes carried out … strikes on the town of Ghaziyeh,” the state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported on Monday, saying that a vehicle was targeted and ambulances rushed to the scene, without providing further details. It was not immediately clear if there were casualties.
Eleven civilians killed in Israeli strikes on south Lebanon – reports
Eleven civilians, including six children, have been killed by Israeli strikes on villages across southern Lebanon, a hospital director and local security sources said, while the Israeli army said it lost a soldier in cross-border rocket fire. While the rocket attack was not immediately claimed, the exchanges of fire – and the worst single-day civilian death toll in Lebanon since cross-border hostilities began in October – raised fears of a broader conflict between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah. A strike in the city of Nabatiyeh killed four children, three women and a man, according to the director of the town’s hospital, Hassan Wazni, and three other security sources. Seven people were also wounded, Wazni told the Reuters news agency.
READY TO BLOW Iraq warns Middle East is now on ‘brink of the abyss’ after 16 killed in US revenge strikes on Iranian-backed militias
IRAQ has slammed US airstrikes following Friday's attack - warning that the "aggressive strike" puts the region "on the brink of the abyss". America launched missiles against more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria on Friday, including Iranian-backed militias, killing 34 people in both countries. The White House said Iraq was warned ahead of the blitz - which targeted militia “command and control headquarters” and ammo stores. America also aimed at targets in the countries linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force and associated groups. Iran has repeatedly been tied to the ongoing conflict exploding in the Middle East, and are believed to finance and provide weapons to groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. The US bombed 85 targets in seven different locations on Friday, hitting four points in Syria and three in Iraq.
SHOTS FIRED US launch missiles into Iraq & Syria after terrifying plan for revenge attack was LEAKED – with multi-day blitz expected
THE US hit targets in Syria and Iraq tonight — striking back after three of its soldiers were killed by a drone. Officials said American missile strikes had hit more than 85 targets, including “command and control headquarters” and ammo dumps. US Central Command said it targeted Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force and linked militia groups. Syrian media said cities in the east of the country were hit. Iraq said 16 people, including civilians, were killed and 25 wounded. Iraqi media was reporting strikes in Anbar Province, western Iraq, a large area bordering Syria and Jordan. Iran itself was not attacked.
I believe we may finally be entering the period where the United States will go to war with Iran. I had many dreams about the event in the 1990's. First was to come a war in Afghanistan, which was crazy to have a dream about back in 1994 ... years before 9/11 would cause America to go to war in Afghanistan in October 2001. Then, next came dreams in 1994 and 1995 about a war in Iraq. That happened finally in 2003. In my dreams both wars would be waged simultaneously for years ... possibly my entire lifetime or longer. Quagmire wars that would get hot and cool down intermittently, but never go away. Then next would come the US war with Iran, followed by another in Syria ... and they also would be chronic conflicts.
Strangely, the war with Iran failed to materialize, although Syria finally arrived for the US in 2016. Former US President Obama ended the US presence in Iraq in 2011 withdrawing all troops, and that had me wondering too if my dreams were valid. But a few years later, back the US went to Iraq ... and then into Syria. We remain in Iraq and Syria to this day. But two years ago, Joe Biden pulled US troops out of Afghanistan, and my dreams said that war would continue there for many years along with Iraq and Iran. So let us see if the US does not find itself returning to Afghanistan the same way we had to go back to Iraq. In any event, the long postponed war with Iran now appears inevitable. Then will come war with China and North Korea and great naval wars in the Persian Gulf and Pacific, then most elements of my dreams will begin to happen in the worst possible way. War with Russia was also dreamed about, but it appeared to be conditional or schizophrenic. It remains quite possible we will NOT go to war with Russia ... ever.
Soon I will be putting up my dream visions from the back up of my original website ... bit by bit on a new page at this site. These dream visions used to appear in what I called Dream Windows. The new page will also include the Master Dream Window when it was last updated.
Israel and Lebanon are prepping for a war neither wants, but many fear it’s becoming inevitable
BEIRUT (AP) — The prospect of a full-scale war between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia terrifies people on both sides of the border, but some see it as an inevitable fallout from Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza. Such a war could be the most destructive either side has ever experienced. Israel and Hezbollah each have lessons from their last war, in 2006, a monthlong conflict that ended in a draw. They’ve also had four months to prepare for another war, even as the United States tries to prevent a widening of the conflict.
Plans for U.S. strikes on Iranian personnel and facilities in Iraq, Syria approved after Jordan drone attack
U.S. officials have confirmed to CBS News that plans have been approved for a series of strikes over a number of days against targets — including Iranian personnel and facilities — inside Iraq and Syria. The strikes will come in response to drone and rocket attacks targeting U.S. forces in the region, including the drone attack on Sunday that killed three U.S. service members at the Tower 22 base inside Jordan, near the Syrian border. Speaking at the Pentagon Thursday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters that the U.S. won't tolerate attacks on American troops. "This is a dangerous moment in the Middle East," Austin said, noting that Israel's ongoing war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen on commercial shipping in the Red Sea were also happening in the region.
Three US troops killed in Jordan drone strike linked to Iran
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Three U.S. service members were killed and at least 34 wounded in a drone attack by Iran-backed militants on U.S. troops in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border, President Joe Biden and U.S. officials said on Sunday. It is the first deadly strike against U.S. forces since the Israel-Hamas war erupted in October, and marks a major escalation in tensions that have engulfed the Middle East. "While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq," Biden said in a statement.
Biden says US ‘shall respond’ after drone strike by Iran-backed group kills 3 US troops in Jordan
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — President Joe Biden said Sunday that the U.S. “shall respond” after three American troops were killed and dozens more were injured in an overnight drone strike in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border. Biden blamed Iran-backed militias for the first U.S. fatalities after months of strikes by such groups against American forces across the Middle East since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Biden, who was traveling in South Carolina, asked for a moment of silence during an appearance at a Baptist church’s banquet hall.
GOP hawks press Biden to target Iran directly over soldiers' deaths
President Biden is facing calls from congressional hawks to escalate attacks on Iran-linked targets, including within Iran itself, in response to the deaths of three U.S. service members in a drone attack in Jordan. Why it matters: Heeding those calls would risk significantly expanding and drawing the U.S. further into an already growing regional conflict that has sprung up as a result of the Israel-Hamas war. Driving the news: "Last night, three U.S. service members were killed —and many wounded — during an unmanned aerial drone attack on our forces stationed in northeast Jordan near the Syria border," Biden said in a statement on Sunday morning.
24 soldiers killed on deadliest day for Israeli forces in Gaza combat
Jerusalem CNN — Twenty-four Israeli soldiers were killed during fighting in southern Gaza on Monday, the military said, in the deadliest day for its troops inside the battered enclave since the war with Hamas began. Twenty-one soldiers were killed in one incident, “removing structures and terrorist infrastructure,” the IDF said in a statement, when a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) was fired towards a tank protecting the unit. Two two-story buildings then collapsed following an explosion, which likely was caused by explosives that had been laid by the Israeli troops, the IDF said. Israeli media reported that two soldiers in the tank were killed. Most of the Israeli forces killed were in or near the buildings, IDF spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a separate televised statement.
ROCKET BARRAGE US troops suffer ‘traumatic brain injuries’ after Iraqi airbase is hit by missiles from ‘Iranian-backed militants’
SEVERAL US troops have suffered "traumatic brain injuries" after an Iraqi airbase was hit by a barrage of rockets from Iran-backed militants. Several US personnel are undergoing evaluation after multiple missiles and rockets were fired at the Ain al-Asad air base. The base, home to American forces in western Iraq, came under fire from multiple ballistic missiles and rockets at 6.30 pm (Baghdad time), the US Central Command said in a statement posted to X. It added: "Most of the missiles were intercepted by the base’s air defence systems while others impacted on the base. "Damage assessments are ongoing. "A number of U.S. personnel are undergoing evaluation for traumatic brain injuries. "At least one Iraqi service member was wounded."
Israel Hints at Lebanon Ground Operations
The Israeli military went public on January 16 with a special forces operation in southern Lebanon, as the prospect of war with Hezbollah looms. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its special forces struck in order “to remove a threat” in the area of Ayta ash Shab, a Lebanese village about half a mile from the Israeli border, which has seen frequent Hezbollah attacks in solidarity with Hamas during the Gaza war. The announcement appeared to be a rare acknowledgement by Israel of action on the ground as opposed to retaliatory air and artillery strikes against the Iran-backed terrorist group. Separately, Israeli aircraft and artillery carried out heavy shelling of dozens of Hezbollah targets in Wadi Saluki, a strategic southern Lebanese gateway to the country’s interior.
US, British militaries launch massive retaliatory strike against Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. and British militaries bombed more than a dozen sites used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on Thursday, in a massive retaliatory strike using warship- and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets, U.S. officials said. The U.S. Air Force’s Mideast command said it struck over 60 targets at 16 sites in Yemen, including “command-and-control nodes, munitions depots, launching systems, production facilities and air defense radar systems.” President Joe Biden said the strikes were meant to demonstrate that the U.S. and its allies “will not tolerate” the militant group’s ceaseless attacks on the Red Sea. And he said they only made the move after attempts at diplomatic negotiations and careful deliberation.
'WATCH THIS SPACE' Britain on brink of launching airstrikes on Yemen bases after Houthis fire biggest drone blitz at Royal Navy warship
BRITAIN is on the brink of blasting bases in Yemen after Iran-backed Houthi rebels aimed their biggest missile and drone strike at a Royal Navy warship. Defence Secretary Grant Shapps warned the military might was in place “to do what needs to be done”. Asked if Britain would launch strikes on Yemen, he responded: “Watch this space”. It came hours after HMS Diamond unleashed a devastating barrage of Sea Viper missiles and anti-aircraft cannon to defend itself and nearby ships in the Red Sea. Shapps said the Type 45 destroyer, with 260 crew, appeared to have been targeted in strikes on Tuesday night but the drones and missiles were downed with “no injuries or damage sustained to HMS Diamond or her crew”.
Houthis launch sea drone to attack ships hours after US, allies issue final warning
WASHINGTON (AP) — An armed unmanned surface vessel launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen got within a “couple of miles” of U.S. Navy and commercial vessels in the Red Sea before detonating on Thursday, just hours after the White House and a host of partner nations issued a final warning to the Iran-backed militia group to cease the attacks or face potential military action. Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Navy operations in the Middle East, said it was the first time the Houthis had used an unmanned surface vessel, or USV, since their harassment of commercial ships in the Red Sea began after the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. They have, however, used them in years past.
Israel moving thousands of troops out of Gaza, but expects "prolonged fighting" with Hamas
Tel Aviv — Israel's military has begun moving thousands of troops out of the Gaza Strip, but officials stress that the Israel Defense Forces are set to continue waging a long war against the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The announcement of a redeployment came after Israel's prime minister said he saw the conflict continuing well into the new year. Thousands of Israeli soldiers were being shifted out of Gaza, however, military spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told reporters on Monday, in the first significant drawdown since the war was sparked by Hamas' unprecedented Oct. 7 terror attack on southern Israel. In a statement, the IDF said five brigades, or several thousand troops, would be moved out of Gaza over the coming weeks for training and rest.
Fears are rising of a widened Middle East war and US troops are in the firing line
Escalating attacks on US troops and commercial shipping and incidents often involving Iran and its proxies are causing new concerns that Israel’s war in Gaza could widen into a regional conflagration with grave political and economic consequences. With American service personnel increasingly in a dangerous firing line and with US and allied naval assets on high alert after multiple drone attacks, the deteriorating situation is leading to a tense holiday period for the White House. The rising possibility of US combat deaths and the worsening security situation from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea and stretching through Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Israel represents an unwelcome new foreign crisis as President Joe Biden’s reelection year dawns.
Israel readies for war on 7 fronts as attacks recorded in neighbouring countries
Israel has warned they are in a war on seven fronts as attacks recorded in a handful of neighbouring countries in the last 48 hours spark fears of the conflict escalating to the wider region. In an address to the Israeli government on Tuesday, Yoav Gallant, the country’s defence minister and one of only three members of its war cabinet, said they were coming under attack from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, Iraq, Yemen and Iran. “We are in a multifront war and coming under attack from seven theatres,” he said, before listing them all. Without specifying, he added that they were taking action on six of the fronts. His comments came as explosions were recorded off the coast of Yemen, presumed to be an attack by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, and missiles were fired into Israel by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon.
Iran threatens to close Mediterranean Sea citing US ‘crimes’ in Gaza
Iran threatened Saturday that the Mediterranean Sea could be “closed” if the U.S. and Israel continued “crimes” in Gaza, state media reported, according to Reuters. The Iranian government has showed support for militant group Hamas in its war against Israel, while the U.S. has strongly backed Israel — despite growing criticism of the Israeli military’s war effort. “They shall soon await the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, (the Strait of) Gibraltar and other waterways,” state media Tasnim quoted Iranian Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Naqdi as saying. Iran has accused the Israeli military, and the U.S. as its close ally, of committing war crimes in Gaza. Over 20,000 Palestinians have died in the conflict since early October, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
MBS of Saudi Arabia: Please go down in history as being on the right side of history and end that alliance with Iran. You can't trust them anymore than the rest of the world can, they will sneak up on you one day. If you don't you will find yourself leading the world in war against them in the 2030's. The proxy war you were fighting against Iran in Yemen should have been enough for you to know they will never settle for any peace for very long. I would really like to see the day when the Middle East is a place people would love to visit again rather than as a place to avoid.
US embassy in Baghdad struck by mortar fire in early morning attack
The U.S. embassy in Baghdad was attacked by mortar fire on Friday morning that caused minor material damage but no casualties, U.S. and Iraqi officials said. Explosions were heard near the embassy in the capital city of Iraq at approximately 4:15 a.m. on Friday. An embassy spokesperson then confirmed the U.S. Embassy was attacked, adding: "Assessments are ongoing, but there are no reported casualties on the Embassy compound." The attack was confirmed by a U.S. military official who said the attack was launched at U.S. and Coalition forces in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses Iraqi government buildings and embassies.
Missiles fired from Yemen toward US warship that responded to attack on commercial tanker
CNN — Two ballistic missiles were fired from Houthi rebel-controlled Yemen toward a US warship in the Gulf of Aden, after the US Navy responded to a distress call from a commercial tanker that had been seized by armed individuals, the US military said Sunday. The tanker, identified as the Central Park, had been carrying a cargo of phosphoric acid when its crew called for help that “they were under attack from an unknown entity,” the US Central Command said in a statement. Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said Monday that under international maritime norms and laws, when there is a distress signal, “all vessels in the vicinity, are required to come and help and support.” Though Ryder added that there were three Chinese Navy vessels in the vicinity that “did not respond.”
Key Israeli military base destroyed 'by Hezbollah rocket strike' as escalation fears surge
A rocket attack from Lebanon has hit the IDF's Biranit base in northern Israel, the IDF confirmed on Monday. Footage posted to social media shows extensive damage and fire caused by the devastating shelling. The IDF confirmed that rockets were fired at the base. Times of Israel correspondent Emmanuel Fabian reported on social media that Hezbollah is responsible. No injuries were reported in the attack, but footage shows the base was badly damaged. Monday's attack reportedly began with the IDF striking first, with Israeli military saying it had shelled Lebanon with artillery to prevent Hezbollah from approaching the area, according to the Times.
Lebanon front with Israel heats up, stoking fears of wider war
BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Weeks of hostilities across the Lebanese-Israeli border have escalated, with growing casualties on both sides and a war of words fuelling concerns of a widening conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah. Israeli strikes killed two people in south Lebanon on Monday, according to a first-responder organisation affiliated to the Hezbollah-allied Amal Movement. On the Israeli side, a Hezbollah missile attack on Sunday wounded several workers from the Israel Electric Company and one died of his wounds on Monday, the firm said.

The Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah increased attacks on Israel on November 13, launching an anti-tank missile and firing mortars. Hezbollah has been escalating its threats to Israel for several days. On November 12, seven Israeli soldiers were injured after mortar shells struck their location near Manara in northern Israel. The soldiers were evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said. An anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon at the community of Dovev killed one and injured four civilians.
Israel Palestine LIVE: Yemen and Lebanon fire missiles across border amid rising tensions
Yemen and Lebanon have fired missiles across the Israeli border as tensions continue to rise in and around Gaza. A large number of ballistic missiles and drones have been launched towards Israel by Yemen's Houthis militant group today. It is the third attack targeting the country, a spokesperson for the group said, warning there are "more to come". Iran, which backs Hamas, is widely accused of supporting the Houthis, a movement that has been fighting Yemen's Sunni-majority government since 2004. And anti-tank missiles were fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory - and Israel responded quickly, the country's military says. The army said in Hebrew on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it also struck another group of fighters that planned to launch anti-tank missiles into Israel.
Vladimir Putin turns on Netanyahu as he sees Israel 'as Russia's enemy'
Vladimir Putin will now see Israel as an "enemy" as he moves closer to Iran and sides with Hamas in the Middle East, a former speechwriter for the Russian President tells Daily Express US. Hamas has called Russia its “closest friend” as the terror group vows to release eight Russian hostages kidnapped during its October 7 attack in Israel. Putin appears to be breaking from his previous line of neutrality over Israel and Palestine. This week he called on Israel to cancel its ground invasion into Gaza. Abbas Gallyamov, a former speechwriter for Putin from 2008-2012 who lives in Tel Aviv, tells Daily Express US that Putin has become more reliant on Iran for weapons, and this is why he has shifted to a more pro-Palestine stance.
Iran-Backed Forces Have Attacked US Positions and Allies 23 Times in Past Two Weeks, Pentagon Says
Iran-backed forces across the Middle East have attacked American positions and allies at least 23 times in the last two weeks, the Pentagon said Monday, adding that a U.S. military response will occur "at a time and place of our choosing, and we're going to continue to do so." Since October 17, in the wake of Hamas's war on Israel, Iranian terror forces have launched 14 attacks on American assets in Iraq and nine in Syria "through a mix of one-way attack drones and rockets," a senior Defense Department official told reporters during a press briefing. The U.S. military responded last Thursday to these strikes by bombing Iranian positions in Syria, and American forces will continue to target Tehran's proxy groups at will, the official said. Iran, the Pentagon assesses, is targeting American forces, threatening to drag the United States into a larger regional war.
Erdogan threatens to declare war on Israel and send military to Gaza in chilling warning
Turkey's president appears to have threatened to intervene in Gaza in an impassioned speech at a pro-Palestine rally this evening. Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a speech to a rally this afternoon in which he told attendees Israel was responsible for war crimes, and framed Hamas as "freedom fighters". In comments that have prompted Israeli outcry, and led the country to withdraw its diplomatic presence, president Erdogan suggested assaults on Gaza constituted a "massacre". In the same speech, he reportedly said that Turkey can "come at any night unexpectedly” to ecstatic reception from hundreds of thousands of attendees. The footage, which is currently circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, purportedly showed the pro-Palestine crowd responding with the chant: “Turkish military to Gaza.”
US strikes 2 facilities linked to Iranian-backed militias in Syria following series of attacks on US forces in Middle East
Washington CNN — The US carried out airstrikes targeting two facilities linked to Iranian-backed militias in eastern Syria on Thursday, according to a statement from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, following a series of drone and rocket attacks against US forces in the region. The US assessed that the airstrikes against the facilities linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated groups did not result in any casualties, according to a Friday statement from Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary. The strikes, carried out by an F-15 fighter jet and a pair of F-16 fighter jets using precision-guided munitions, targeted a weapons and ammunition storage facility in Abu Kamal near the border between Syria and Iraq. The strikes destroyed the facilities, according to Ryder.
Massive rocket barrage on Tel Aviv leaves over a million Israelis scrambling for shelter
Hamas launched a massive rocket barrage on Tuesday afternoon, injuring at least five Israelis, emergency services said. Israelis were wounded in separate incidents in Holon, Tel Aviv, Kfar Saba, Be'er Yaakov, and Yavne while the barrage sent more than one million running for cover. All of the wounded were said to be lightly injured. Magen David Adom - Israel's National Blood and Medical Emergency Service - said it is investigating after an attack believed to be the largest since war was declared on Hamas. The rocket attacks on Israel's large population centers come as Hamas-run medical authorities in Gaza said 700 people had been killed by Israeli airstrikes in the last day.
Citing "Escalating" Iran Threats, Pentagon Sends 2nd Carrier, Patriot Missiles & THAAD to Middle East
President Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin have made rapid moves to add missile defense and Naval forces to the Middle East in response to "escalations" by Iran and its proxy forces. The USS Ford and its supporting Carrier Strike Group has been in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea for at least a week, and now Austin is adding a second Carrier Strike Group to the area and activated the deployment of Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile defense systems to the region. "Following detailed discussions with President Biden on recent escalations by Iran and its proxy forces across the Middle East Region, today I directed a series of additional steps to further strengthen the Department of Defense posture in the region," Austin said in a Pentagon statement.
Rockets, drones hit Iraqi base housing U.S. forces -security sources
ANBAR, Iraq, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Drones and rockets targeted on Thursday evening the Ain al-Asad air base, which hosts U.S. and other international forces in western Iraq, and multiple blasts were heard inside the base, two security sources said. The Iraqi military said it closed the area around the base and started a search operation. It was not clear yet whether the attacks caused casualties or damages, said the sources. Thursday's attack is the third in less than 24 hours against airbases which house U.S. troops in Iraq.
First on CNN: US Navy warship near Yemen intercepts multiple missiles, US officials say
A US Navy warship operating in the Middle East intercepted multiple projectiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday, two US officials told CNN. One of the officials said the missiles were fired by Iranian-backed Houthi militants, who are engaged in an ongoing conflict in Yemen. Approximately 2-3 missiles were intercepted, according to the second official. Later Thursday Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder confirmed that the USS Carney shot down three land attack missiles as well as several drones that were launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen.
Israel Evacuates Border as Deadly Clashes Raise Fear of Second War Erupting
Israel on Monday announced that it will evacuate 28 northern communities close to the Lebanon border in the wake of attacks which have broken out in the region in tandem with the ongoing conflict against Hamas in the south. The mass evacuation raises fears that a second war is about to break out between Israel and Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon. A joint statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israeli Defense Ministry said the communities being evacuated stand within 1.2 miles of the Lebanese border. The residents will be taken to “state-funded guesthouses,” the statement added, providing no timeline as to when they will be able to return home.
'SPECTRE OF DEATH' Israel evacuates civilians near Lebanon over fears of Hezbollah INVASION – as fuel at Gaza hospitals to run out in hours
ISRAEL has evacuated civilians living close to the Lebanon border amid fears Hezbollah is on the brink of invading. Foreign powers have urged the Iran-backed terror group to stay on the sidelines - but deputy chief Naim Qassem vowed to join "when the time comes for action". The threat of an escalation in the war came as UN aid chief Martin Griffiths warned that the “spectre of death” is hanging over the entire region. The Israeli military has now ordered residents of 28 villages to evacuate as cross-border fire ramps up. Supporting the Hamas terror groups in Gaza, Hezbollah terrorists in the north blasted rockets and missiles on Sunday before Israel retaliated with airstrikes and shelling.
Hamas says 13 hostages killed in air strikes on Gaza. ‘Lies,’ Israel says
At least 13 Israeli and foreign hostages held in the northern Gaza Strip have been killed in Israeli air strikes in the past 24 hours, Hamas’ armed wing said on Friday. An Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari denied that, telling Al-Jazeera Arabic that “we have our own information and do not believe the lies of Hamas”. In a surprise assault early on Saturday, Hamas militants stormed Israeli communities near the Gaza border and fired barrages of rockets, in an attack that claimed more than 1,300 lives.
'SPIT THEM OUT' Crush Hamas like ISIS scum – they’re the enemy of civilisation, says Netanyahu as US sends warships before Gaza invasion
BENJAMIN Netanyahu has vowed to crush Hamas terrorists like ISIS as America sends two warships armed with fighter jets to Israel. The Israeli PM blasted the terror group as the "enemy of civilisation" as his war-torn country readies 360,000 troops to invade Gaza. During a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu thanked America for their support in the fight against the "barbarians of Hamas". "Hamas has shown itself to be an enemy of civilisation," the PM said. "The massacring of young people at an outdoor music festival, the butchering of entire families, the murder of parents in front of their children... the beheadings, the kidnappings. "Hamas is ISIS and just as ISIS was crushed, so too will Hamas be crushed. "Hamas should be treated exactly the way ISIS was treated."
INTO DARKNESS Gaza to plunge into BLACKOUT as power plant runs out of fuel ahead of Israel invasion to flatten ‘Nest of Terror’
GAZA'S only power plant has run out of fuel as the enclave sits on the brink of an all-out invasion from Israel. Israel halted fuel, food and medicine entering the blockaded territory after Hamas terrorists stormed across the border and killed hundreds in a bloody massacre. And Gaza - which has a population of 2.3 million - plunged into darkness on Wednesday after its sole power plant dried up, leaving only generators to power the territory. The head of the Gaza Energy Authority said the station stopped running at 2pm local time (midday UK time) on Wednesday. Hours before, energy supplies at hospitals had already started to rapidly dwindle - leaving doctors unable to use surgical equipment.
Gaza devastation laid bare in apocalyptic photos after relentless Israeli airstrikes
Pictures show neighbourhoods in Gaza almost destroyed after Israel launched 250 airstrikes in just one hour. It comes after an Israeli defense official promise the strip will become a ‘tent city’ with every building to be demolished. Images reveal a countless number of homes and vehicles have been reduced to rubble as emergency services continue to dig for survivors. At least 140 Palestinian children have been killed since Saturday, human rights group Defence for Children International Palestine has confirmed. More than 200 locations were targeted throughout Gaza, killing more than 700 people and injuring 4,000 more.
YOU STAY, YOU DIE Israel TEXTS civilians warning them to flee Gaza to south as vast army gathers to crush ‘ISIS-like’ Hamas & 3,000 killed
ISRAEL has texted civilians in Gaza warning them to flee south to Egypt as it prepares for an all-out ground assault to "crush" Hamas. It follows another night of devastating air raids in the territory as the death toll of the bloody war rose to 3,000. Israel's army has massed tanks, artillery and thousands of elite commandos ready for a ground invasion. It has also reportedly begun laying mines as it blockades the Gaza Strip, cutting off food, water and electricity. Today military spokesman Richard Hecht said civilians should try to leave through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt.
Israel attacked by Hamas live updates: DSA pro-Palestine rally attendee flashes swastika on his phone
Israel’s cabinet invoked Article 40 Aleph and formally declared war against Hamas after the terrorist group launched the worst attack on the Jewish nation in 50 years. Over 600 Israelis have been killed, more than 2000 are wounded, and 100 are confirmed to have been taken captive by Hamas since the war began. Sickening scenes of Hamas terrorists parading a woman’s battered naked body through the streets, and kidnapping music festival attendees have made the rounds on social media. Americans are believed to be among the kidnapped.
'Worse than ISIS': Hamas terrorists 'behead Israeli soldiers' in sickening footage
Hamas violence in Israel has been described as "worse than ISIS" as images shared online show a purported beheading of an Israeli Defense Force soldiers. This comes as the death toll is estimated to be over 700 following Hamas' brutal assault in southern Israel. Hamas terrorists have been seen piling up the bodies of 260 young ravers at a horrific massacre at a music festival, after which disturbing footage of a murdered woman's body being paraded semi-naked through the street on the back of a truck emerged. Users on X have been left shocked as the horrifying images of Hamas terrorist violence, which so far has seen nine Americans in Israel confirmed dead, were shared on the platform.
Sister of Israeli TV personality killed ‘execution style’ while hiding from Hamas gunmen
A 27-year-old Israeli woman was killed “execution style” while playing dead in hopes of being spared by Hamas gunmen who invaded a trance music festival near the border with the Gaza Strip and massacred scores of partygoers on Saturday. Ma’ayan Adam, 36, a television host who appeared on Israel’s version of “Dancing With The Stars” and anchors a news program on one of the country’s popular TV stations, posted a heartbreaking message to her 300,000 Instagram followers announcing the death of her 27-year-old sister, Mapal Adam. According to her sister, Mapal Adam was killed while being held by her boyfriend, who suffered gunshot wounds to the back.
German-Israeli Shani Louk was ‘beheaded by Hamas’, says Israel’s President
A young woman whose naked body was paraded on the back of a pick-up truck was "beheaded by Hamas", says Israel's President. Shani Louk, 22, was enjoying a festival close to the Gaza border on October 7 when militants attacked, slaughtering hundreds and taking others hostage. Israeli President Yitzchak Herzog told German news outlet Bild she was beheaded by "sadistic animals". He said: "I am truly sorry to report that we have now received news that Shani Nicole Louk has been confirmed murdered and dead. "This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis. It is a great tragedy and I extend my deepest condolences to her family."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Assassinated, Mass Violence and Massacres May Follow
It may well be that the September Massacres of 2023 that did not happen in the US, but instead in Israel in October 2023, will happen in America at this time, in June 2024.
What happens next is contingent on factors we do not yet know about. It could be there will be NO ELECTION IN 2024, and that a full-blown Reign of Terror led by The Squad, Antifa, BLM, Woke extremists, Hamas, and others will commence when The Squad and those affiliated with AOC, Ilhan Omar, and the rest seize the government (see following prediction).
Then again, if sanity prevails in some form, the election will move forward, once the violence dies down. Even though RFK Jr. will be running as an Independent, he will always be associated with the Democratic Party and there will be many mainstream Democrats sincerely mourning this man's death and the state of the country. A surge of support for the Dems may occur in a call to heal the nation.
The result will be that Kamala Harris will win the US presidential election in November by a landslide.
'Real threat': US presidential long-shot RFK Jr alarms Democrats
Armed with the most storied surname in US politics, Robert F. Kennedy's wildcard shot for the presidency holds a clear and present danger for Joe Biden's hopes of a second term in the White House. The environmental lawyer and conspiracy theorist is boasting double-digit support, and polling suggests that independent candidate "RFK Jr" is hurting the president more than Republican challenger Donald Trump. Democrats have learned to fear long-shot outsiders after George W. Bush and Donald Trump won tight elections in 2000 and 2016, buoyed by Green Party candidates leeching votes from Al Gore and Hillary Clinton.
Carville: RFK Jr. might hurt Trump more than Biden
Democratic strategist James Carville said independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s candidacy may hurt former President Trump more than President Biden in their likely 2024 rematch. “I actually think Bobby Kennedy might hurt Trump more,” Carville said Thursday on “The Beat with Ari Melber” on MSNBC in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. Trump and his allies have welcomed Kennedy’s campaign, suggesting he is likely to pull votes from Biden in a general election. “Kennedy is a Radical Left Democrat, and always will be!!! It’s great for MAGA, but the Communists will make it very hard for him to get on the Ballot,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, shortly after Kennedy announced entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate Tuesday.
Kristi Noem, on the other hand, will be the last person they would suspect to front a credible threat to either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. If she is selected as Trump's running mate, by the time they realize the danger she poses to them, it will be too late for them to do anything about it. Huzzah!
The Squad, Antifa, BLM, Woke Groups Seize the Government; Moderates Overthrown
They will also unleash a bloody Reign of Terror during which suspected enemies of the state are executed by the tens of millions over the course of the autumn 2024 to at least the summer of 2025. By summer of 2025, nearly 100 million US citizens will have been put to death or thrown into prison.
It is entirely possible that Kamala Harris will be spared and that she will win the presidency in November 2024, but as a tool of the Far Left, and only if this year is allowed to proceed as a normal election year should. Otherwise, AOC will run for president and win by political dirty tricks or will take over by assignment by the Squad and Progressives. In that case, no election but an internal coup will place her in power.
Please note, because I am not terribly political it has taken me some time to identify the core of the Far Left as being The Squad. I may have used other terms in past predictions or none at all.
The fate of Bernie Sanders I still have not figured out with any certainty.
AOC slammed over Christmas message about Israel-Hamas war: ‘Jew hate’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez likens Palestinians to Jesus while describing Israel as a violent occupying force in an online Christmas post, prompting critics to slam what they call her blatant “Jew hate.” In her Instagram story on Christmas Eve, the lefty New York Democrat shared a photo of a child in rubble in the Gaza Strip and said she is praying “for the peace and protection of the innocent in Gaza and the occupied territories. “In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents,” she wrote.
Michael Rapaport rails against 'Jew haters' Tlaib, Omar, AOC: 'You're in government you motherf---ers!' - The actor declares the 'Squad' lawmakers 'The Big 3 of Antisemitism'
Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport went full blast against Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, declaring them "Jew haters" as they respond to the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East. Tlaib, D-Mich., and Omar, D-Minn., continue facing backlash for peddling the false claim made by the terrorist group Hamas that an Israeli airstrike was responsible for an explosion at a Gaza hospital leaving hundreds of civilians dead on Tuesday, sparking international outcry with riots erupting in multiple countries. Except both the IDF and U.S. intelligence have concluded that a misfired rocket from the Islamic Jihad was actually to blame.
AOC blames Muslim boy's murder in part on DeSantis' 'destructive' rhetoric on Gaza refugees
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggested in a new interview that recent rhetoric from Florida governor Ron DeSantis on Gaza refugees led to the killing of a Palestinian-American boy. DeSantis on Sunday stuck to his stance that the U.S. should not accept refugees from Gaza amid the ongoing Hamas war with Israel. "Palestinian Arabs should go to Arab countries. The U.S. should not be absorbing any of those," DeSantis said during an appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday. A day earlier, the Republican presidential candidate said the U.S. should not accept people from Gaza as refugees, telling an Iowa crowd, "I am not going to do that."
AOC demands Biden 'reverse course' on border wall construction amid migrant surge: 'Cruel policy'
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., demanded that President Biden "reverse course" on constructing a wall at the U.S. border with Mexico, saying a "wall does nothing" and represents a "cruel policy." "The Biden administration was not required to expand construction of the border wall — and they certainly were not required to waive several environmental laws to expedite the building," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "The President needs to take responsibility for this decision and reverse course." She added, "A wall does nothing to deter people who are fleeing poverty and violence from coming to the United States. Walls only serve to push migrants into more remote areas, increasing their chances of death. It is a cruel policy."
AOC is the Democrats’ best shot against Trump in 2024
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is less of a personality and more of a movement. Yes, the smart, photogenic congresswoman is the face of the rising progressive movement, but she is also the future of the Democratic Party. AOC has cultivated a following beyond politics. She’s the voice of a movement that began after the banks were bailed out by the government, while homeowners were left to default.
But look again! The mob violence of the French Revolution today is called rioting, demonstrating, or given cute, media-friendly names like "Summer of Love." Bloodthirsty revolutionaries didn't storm the Bastille in 2021 ... Antifa and BLM thugs pretending to be part of a pro-Trump march on Washington raided the Capitol Building, some dressed in preposterous MAGA costumes, and that "atrocity" is now called "January 6."
There are two King Louis's: one overthrown in an election (Donald Trump), the other (Joe Biden) taking orders from Democratic Socialist Progressives like AOC above. Make no doubt about it, like Louis XVI, Joe Biden is a captive of revolutionaries. For now he and Kamala Harris are being allowed to uphold the offices of President and Vice President, largely in title only. Lest we forget, King Louis reigned for a time in title only. So far neither has made a run for it, no "Flight to Varennes" for these two. Not yet anyway.
And it may not be necessary to remove Biden or Harris by force. That's what the 2024 Election is all about instead. But times can change rapidly, and a wait until 2024 may suddenly seem too long. Or else the revolution will continue at a measured pace, more slowly than France in 1789-1794.
Look past the sanitized news services running what is being dictated by Woke, Kendi, AOC, Omar, antifa, BLM, antiracists, Green, and the rich, largely anonymous elite backing them ... and you will see churches on fire, statues of Jesus beheaded, Christians physically attacked by antifa thugs, US landmarks defaced, bloody dismembered bodies of the injured and murdered in streets, restaurants, diners, nightclubs, playgrounds, churches, suburban homes, government buildings, parks, shopping malls, retail and department stores ... look closely at the carnage wherever it is allowed to be seen by true news media and news services who have had it with the Left and can no longer go on hiding the truth. Not only from you but from themselves.
Ibram X. Kendi Assassinated by Former Female BLM Member
Kendi will be at home one warm evening in July 2024, possibly relaxing with a book. He won't hear her enter. He won't hear the shot either, unless it is a knife that stabs.
A Monster Born, Flooding in Mumbai,
War Between Turkey and Iran Begins
By two heads, with three separate arms, the great city by water will be vexed:
Great ones among them wandering through exile, by the Persian head is Byzantium strongly pressed.
With fire and armaments, not far from the Black Sea, he will come from Iran to occupy Trabzon [NE Turkey]:
Pharos [Egypt] and Mytilene [Greece] tremble, the Sun is joyful, Arabian blood covers the Adriatic Sea.
The last precedent for such a war is an old one: the Ottoman-Persia War of 1821 - 1823. That was the last time. Despite scouring the Internet to find out WHEN (WHAT EXACT MONTH) in 1821 hostilities began is useless ... the information is not provided in any historical resource. Only the years 1821 - 1823. When reading of the progress of the conflict in a few sources it is stated that it began when the Ottoman war with Greece ended. Yet another source suggested a first Ottoman offensive against Persia may have began in "late 1820". If true that, of course, puts the starting year at 1820 and not 1821 or suggests that the war began early in 1821 (January, February or March).
The most likely base 7 target year, given other related predicted events and actual current events, is 2024. We can surmise Turkey and Iran will go to war in early 2024, but it could be any time during the year. 1996 also is aligned with 1821, and August 1996 was the start of the largest Kurdish insurgency in modern times. It was a proxy conflict, but it was one that almost led to direct confrontation between Iran and Turkey. Thus, the month and year may be August 2024. Of course, base 7 is only correct to the month or within a few months of the month part of the time.
This will be a long war, one that will last for thirteen years (2024-2037).
It's beginning may be quite possibly mired down largely on the borders of Iran, Turkey, and northern Iraq. It may even begin as yet another proxy Kurd conflict. There is very little information.
According to Quatrain 5.86 it appears that Erdogan or a successor is being "hard pressed" (pressured) by the leader of Iran over some matter, not even necessarily war between the two countries but a mutual endeavor against the Kurds or else a renewed war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In other words this could be joint cooperation or else proxy war stuff. The large city that is flooded is either Istanbul or Mumbai (see below).
However, there are not a number of "great" exiled leaders wandering about Turkey, India, or even throughout the world. Not yet. Maybe by 2024 ... or maybe not until much later.
One event we are alerted to await is the birth of a baby with "two heads and three separate arms." Such a child was born in India on November 23, 2019. That occurred first, but we await the flooding of either Istanbul or Mumbai and the great exiles.
If the city is Mumbai (as the baby was born in India), then the worst Mumbai floodings in 50 years, one of July 2005, the other in August 2017, would set a precedent for a future flood there in either August 2024 or July 2026. Once again, 2019 and 2024 and even 2019 and 2026 is reasonably contemporaneous from the viewpoint of one observing in 1555.
Clearly August 2024 matches the vector for war between Turkey and Iran.
But at this time there is no clue as to why or where the "great ones" will wander about in exile three years from now.
According to Nostradamus, once war is waged, Iran will eventually be victorious over Turkey. At the very least, Iran will conquer and occupy northeastern Turkey. And once it has conquered the western part of Turkey it will turn to invade Macedonia.
Thus, Quatrains 5.27 above (and another: Quatrain 2.96) mark the final stage of the war.
We will continue with this on 2033 Predictions.

Iranian-backed militia launches rockets at Turkish base in northern Iraq
A cluster of rockets targeted a Turkish military base in northern Iraq on Wednesday, officials from northern Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdish region said. An Iranian-backed militia promptly claimed responsibility for the attack. A Turkish defense ministry official said there was no damage or injury at the base but did not provide further details. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. According to a statement from the Iraqi Kurdish region's anti-terrorism department, at least eight rockets were fired at Turkey's Zilkan military base in Iraq's northern Nineveh province, with two hitting the base itself.
Pro-Iran group claims attack on Turkey's base in northern Iraq
Series of rockets targeted a Turkish military base near the northeastern Iraqi city of Mosul on Wednesday, prompting retaliation from the Turkish side. A pro-Iranian group claimed responsibility but no casualties were reported. Iraqi authorities said the attackers fired eight rockets shortly before 8 a.m. local time at the Bashiqa military base. Two of the rockets struck the base grounds and the others landed in the vicinity of the base, according to a Facebook post by Iraqi Kurdistan’s counter-terrorism department. The Iraqi and international media reported that a pro-Iranian group claimed responsibility for the attack. Northern Iraqi news outlet Rudaw identified the group as The Islamic Resistance Ahrar al-Iraq Brigade.
Iran army holds drill near Azerbaijan border amid tensions
Tehran, Iran – Iran’s military has launched a large military drill near the country’s border with Azerbaijan, in a show of force amid tensions with its neighbouring country partly linked to the latter’s close ties with Israel. State television on Friday showed footage of tanks, helicopters, artillery and soldiers being deployed in an unspecified area in northwestern Iran. It came after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps deployed equipment and troops near the border area last month, shortly after Azerbaijan, Turkey and Pakistan conducted a military drill in Baku.
Iran refers to ‘illegality’ of Turkish presence in Caspian Sea military drills
Iran has referred to the "illegality of Turkey's military presence in the Caspian Sea" following submarine attack and defence group military exercises jointly conducted by Azerbaijani and Turkish special forces that ended on September 12. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Said Khatibzadeh said: "According to the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea, with the exception of its five littoral states, in line with a prohibition, no foreign state should have armed forces here. Turkey's military Caspian Sea presence is illegal. We are investigating the matter through the Foreign Ministry."
Clash Reported Near Iran's Border With Turkey
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) forces on May 11 killed seven militants and dismantled their cell in the country's northwest near the border with Turkey, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported. Two members of the IRGC were also reportedly killed in the shoot-out.
Iran-backed militia leader threatens to take up arms against Turkey
The Iranian-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia last week threatened to take up arms against Turkey in the case of a possible operation by Ankara to eliminate PKK terrorists in Iraq’s northern Sinjar region.
Turkey-Iran Tensions Rise as Ankara Expands Operations in Iraq
ISTANBUL - Turkish-Iranian tensions are rising over Turkey's ongoing military operations against Kurdish militants in northern Iraq. The regional rivals are engaged in increasingly bitter diplomatic sparring as Ankara threatens to expand its Iraqi operations to a strategically important region used by an Iranian-backed militia.
Cruise missile attack on Iran, Iraq
or Iranian Proxies
Otherwise, this will be another attack against Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria similar to the two attacks launched in 2021. Even so, the location may be in northern Iraq this time around.
Also a direct cruise missile strike on Iran cannot be ruled out, although I suspect that to be more likely in 2026.
READY TO BLOW Iraq warns Middle East is now on ‘brink of the abyss’ after 16 killed in US revenge strikes on Iranian-backed militias
IRAQ has slammed US airstrikes following Friday's attack - warning that the "aggressive strike" puts the region "on the brink of the abyss". America launched missiles against more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria on Friday, including Iranian-backed militias, killing 34 people in both countries. The White House said Iraq was warned ahead of the blitz - which targeted militia “command and control headquarters” and ammo stores. America also aimed at targets in the countries linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force and associated groups. Iran has repeatedly been tied to the ongoing conflict exploding in the Middle East, and are believed to finance and provide weapons to groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. The US bombed 85 targets in seven different locations on Friday, hitting four points in Syria and three in Iraq.
SHOTS FIRED US launch missiles into Iraq & Syria after terrifying plan for revenge attack was LEAKED – with multi-day blitz expected
THE US hit targets in Syria and Iraq tonight — striking back after three of its soldiers were killed by a drone. Officials said American missile strikes had hit more than 85 targets, including “command and control headquarters” and ammo dumps. US Central Command said it targeted Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force and linked militia groups. Syrian media said cities in the east of the country were hit. Iraq said 16 people, including civilians, were killed and 25 wounded. Iraqi media was reporting strikes in Anbar Province, western Iraq, a large area bordering Syria and Jordan. Iran itself was not attacked.
The Reign of Terror: The Final Chapter of the American Marxist Revolution, Conducted by the Far Left and The Squad
In any event, the genesis of our modern version of The Terror has already begun due to a number of factors. One of these being The Squad condemning Israel and all Jews because Israel chose to go to war in order to eradicate the evil terrorist group Hamas who committed the genocide of October 7 at the behest of the Iranian government ... yet another country that is a danger to the region and to the world.
Also, these po-Hamas protesters can be considered modern Jacobins (see Jacobins in Wikipedia excerpt below). All members of The Squad and some affiliated with them, like Bernie Sanders, can be considered the brain of the modern Jacobin Party, with AOC as its head. Yet already we see AOC accosted by pro-Hamas demonstrators and Ilhan Omar accused of being a Hamas agent by a member of the CNN staff, a modern Jacobin news agency. Thus the internal divisions within the modern Girondists (see below) as well as the modern Jacobins has already started too.
If all this plays out, a Thermidorian counterrevolution could follow in 2026 or 2027. It could be Republican-led, but not necessarily. It could be more in the form of a public outcry that crosses all political lines as well as non-political. Even moderate Democrats, and yes, even future former Far Left Dems, may be a part of this counterrevolution. Another reign of terror from the counterrevolution may follow and that may last six months. However, the country will so terribly weakened the US will have no choice but to integrate itself with its neighbor to the north, Canada, and its closest Atlantic ally, the UK. If Russia is under a new leadership, and the Ukraine war has ended, a partnership with that country may also occur. It will not be about being a Western nation anymore, but a Northern one, and part of a Northern bloc of nations.
Reign of Terror, summary from Wikipedia, edited due to length
On 17 January 1793, Louis VI (read this as Donald Trump today) was sentenced to death for "conspiracy against public liberty and general safety". 361 deputies were in favour, 288 against, while another 72 voted to execute him, subject to delaying conditions. The sentence was carried out on 21 January (due to postponements of Trump's various trials, this may not happen until late this year or else imprisonment may be all that will happen) on the Place de la Révolution, now the Place de la Concorde. Conservatives across Europe (today, possibly Europe, but now we must look at nations in the Security Council such as Russia, China, and France itself) now called for the destruction of revolutionary France (today, the US), and in February the Convention responded by declaring war on Britain and the Dutch Republic (any belligerent nation or group of nations that declares war on the US in the current time frame) ...
The Girondins (this would now be the Biden/Harris government) hoped war would unite the people behind the government and provide an excuse for rising prices and food shortages, but found themselves the target of popular anger. Many left for the provinces. The first conscription measure or levée en masse ... sparked riots in Paris and other regional centres. Already unsettled by changes imposed on the church (read also today this would include Jewish Americans), the traditionally conservative and royalist Vendée rose in revolt.
Growing discontent allowed the clubs to mobilise against the Girondins. Backed by the Commune and elements of the National Guard, on 31 May they attempted to seize power in a coup. Although the coup failed, on 2 June the convention was surrounded by a crowd of up to 80,000, demanding cheap bread, unemployment pay and political reforms, including restriction of the vote to the sans-culottes, and the right to remove deputies at will. Ten members of the commission and another twenty-nine members of the Girondin faction were arrested, and on 10 June, the Montagnards took over the Committee of Public Safety.
Meanwhile, a committee led by Robespierre's (read AOC today) close ally Saint-Just (read a member of The Squad today, possibly Ilhan Omar) was tasked with preparing a new Constitution. Completed in only eight days, it was ratified by the convention on 24 June, and contained radical reforms, including universal male suffrage. However, normal legal processes were suspended following the assassination of Marat (read Ibram X. Kendi today, father of Woke and Anti-Racism) on 13 July by the Girondist Charlotte Corday, which the Committee of Public Safety used as an excuse to take control. The 1793 Constitution was suspended indefinitely in October.
Although intended to bolster revolutionary fervour, the Reign of Terror rapidly degenerated into the settlement of personal grievances. At the end of July 1793, the Convention set price controls on a wide range of goods, with the death penalty for hoarders. On 9 September, 'revolutionary groups' were established to enforce these controls, while the Law of Suspects on 17th approved the arrest of suspected "enemies of freedom" (read today, enemies of the state or domestic terrorists from the right). This initiated what has become known as the "Terror". From September 1793 to July 1794, around 300,000 were arrested (the number today in the US would be in the tens of millions), with some 16,600 people executed on charges of counter-revolutionary activity, while another 40,000 may have been summarily executed, or died awaiting trial (again, read this as at least a few million people today).
Price controls made farmers reluctant to sell their produce in Parisian markets, and by early September, the city was suffering acute food shortages. At the same time, the war increased public debt, which the Assembly tried to finance by selling confiscated property. However, few would buy assets that might be repossessed by their former owners, a concern that could only be achieved by military victory. This meant the financial position worsened as threats to the Republic increased, while printing assignats to deal with the deficit further increased inflation.
On 10 October, the Convention recognised the Committee of Public Safety as the supreme Revolutionary Government, and suspended the Constitution until peace was achieved. In mid-October, Marie Antoinette (Melania Trump these days) was convicted of a long list of crimes, and guillotined; two weeks later, the Girondist leaders (possibly the Biden/Harris government or certain members of it) arrested in June were also executed, along with Philippe Égalité. The "Terror" was not confined to Paris (today it would be Washington DC), with over 2,000 killed in Lyons (read NYC today) after its recapture (read at least a 500,000 today in the US).
Between November 1793 to February 1794, over 4,000 were drowned in the Loire at Nantes under the supervision of Jean-Baptiste Carrier. Historian Reynald Secher claims that as many as 117,000 died between 1793 and 1796 (now it would be tens of millions). Although those numbers have been challenged, François Furet concluded it "not only revealed massacre and destruction on an unprecedented scale, but a zeal so violent that it has bestowed as its legacy much of the region's identity."
At the height of the Terror, not even its supporters were immune from suspicion, leading to divisions within the Montagnard faction between radical Hébertists and moderates led by Danton (read Biden/Harris). Robespierre (read AOC and Ilhan Omar) saw their dispute as de-stabilising the regime, and, as a deist, objected to the anti-religious policies advocated by the atheist Hébert, who was arrested and executed on 24 March with 19 of his colleagues, including Carrier. To retain the loyalty of the remaining Hébertists, Danton (Biden/Harris) was arrested and executed on 5 April with Camille Desmoulins, after a show trial that arguably did more damage to Robespierre (AOC) than any other act in this period.
The Law of 22 Prairial (10 June) denied "enemies of the people" the right to defend themselves. Those arrested in the provinces were now sent to Paris for judgement; from March to July, executions in Paris increased from five to twenty-six a day (obviously many, many more today). Many Jacobins (the Far Left) ridiculed the festival of the Cult of the Supreme Being on 8 June, a lavish and expensive ceremony led by Robespierre (AOC or Ilhan Omar), who was also accused of circulating claims he was a second Messiah. Relaxation of price controls and rampant inflation caused increasing unrest among the sans-culottes, but the improved military situation reduced fears the Republic was in danger. Fearing their own survival depended on Robespierre's (AOC's) removal, on 29 June three members of the Committee of Public Safety openly accused him (AOC) of being a dictator.
Robespierre (AOC) responded by refusing to attend Committee meetings, allowing his opponents to build a coalition against him. In a speech made to the convention on 26 July, he claimed certain members were conspiring against the Republic, an almost certain death sentence if confirmed. When he refused to provide names, the session broke up in confusion. That evening he repeated these claims at the Jacobins club (read The Squad), where it was greeted with demands for execution of the 'traitors'. Fearing the consequences if they did not act first, his opponents attacked Robespierre (AOC) and his allies (Ilhan Omar and other members of The Squad) in the Convention next day. When Robespierre (AOC) attempted to speak, his voice failed, one deputy crying "The blood of Danton (Biden/Harris) chokes him!"
After the Convention authorised his (AOC's) arrest, he and his supporters (The Squad) took refuge in the Hotel de Ville, which was defended by elements of the National Guard. Other units loyal to the Convention stormed the building that evening and detained Robespierre (AOC), who severely injured himself attempting suicide. He was executed on 28 July with 19 colleagues, including Saint-Just (Ilhan Omar) and Georges Couthon, followed by 83 members of the Commune. The Law of 22 Prairial was repealed, any surviving Girondists reinstated as deputies, and the Jacobin Club was closed and banned...
We should not expect the "terror" to be carried out by any legitimate "revolutionary groups," the police, or military other than those criminal groups we know exist such as Antifa and BLM. However, certain government agencies could carry out arrests. Otherwise it will be carried out by 1) pro-Hamas protesters or any group formed by them, 2) Hamas and other terrorist groups working within this country, 3) criminal elements that have crossed over the southern border of the US from Central and South America, and 4) lone wolves: "brainwashed" people who will later be freed by the justice system or else killed on the spot (so they can't talk, like Lee Harvey Oswald was).

AOC calls police enforcement on anti-semitism protesters 'escalatory, reckless and dangerous'
Source: FOX News, April 24, 2024: Showing her support for pro-Hamas traitors and terrorists in the United States, the following was posted by AOC: "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. tweeted Tuesday night that any police enforcement against the anti-Israel protesters would be an "escalatory, reckless, and dangerous act." "It represents a heinous failure of leadership that puts people’s lives at risk. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms," she tweeted." The lives at risk in the US are the lives of Jews and Christians, and AOC wants both to be exterminated. |
AOC, Ilhan Omar, the other Squad members, affiliate Bernie Sanders, and author Ibram X. Kendi, like Robespierre, Danton, and the others, are part of the Far Left Revolution that is destroying this country. They ARE Antichrists. You may not like the fate I predicted for them to happen in 2025 or 2026, whether it happens exactly that way or not I don't know, the guillotine in the prediction is more symbolic than anything, but whatever it will be shall be a deserved fate for one who is an Antichrist, and AOC is the leader of them all.
Danger of Car Crash for Former Actress or Athlete, Now Royalty
Others include former actress Emma McQuiston who married Britain's Ceawlin Thynne, Viscount of Weymouth, actress Jamie Lee Curtis who is also Lady Haden-Guest, wife of Baron Christopher Haden-Guest, and former Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock who became Princess of Monaco when she married Albert II, Prince of Monaco, in 2011. Although Wittstock is not an actress, she has still made a similar transition as did Grace Kelly ... to the very same station as Princess of Monaco.
Princess Grace died from injuries sustained in a car crash in September 1982.
Driving down a steep mountain road and making a sharp right turn her front brakes gave out. This is what her daughter, Princess Stephanie, heard her say aloud in a startled voice: "I can`t stop. The brakes don`t work. I can`t stop." Stephanie was badly injured in the wreck and in hospital during the funeral of Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco.
Any of the women listed above will be in potential danger of a possibly fatal auto accident in September 2024 on or near the 42nd anniversary of Grace Kelly's death.
Due to her being a blonde and holding the same title, like Grace Kelly, Charlene Wittstock may be in greatest danger followed by Meghan Markle who is currently the most famous of this special group among royalty. Like the late Princess Grace, their great fame precedes them, unlike Emma McQuiston, and unlike the not widely known royal status of Jamie Lee Curtis.
Princess Grace and Princess Diana were the greatest tragedies of a female royal in the 20th Century.

Kate Middleton reveals cancer diagnosis and gives chemotherapy update in emotional video
The Princess of Wales is being treated for cancer, she announced tonight in a video message. The future queen is currently undergoing a course of chemotherapy that started in February, Kensington Palace announced. Kate, 42, was admitted to hospital on January 16 for "major abdominal surgery", which has been confirmed as successful. At the time of her operation it was thought that her condition was non-cancerous, as no tests had confirmed the presence of cancer. However, post-operative tests confirmed that cancer had been present.
Kate reveals she has cancer: Princess of Wales, 42, bravely announces she is battling disease and undergoing 'preventative chemotherapy' - but reassures nation 'I am going to be ok' in highly emotional and unprecedented video message
The Princess of Wales has announced tonight that she has been diagnosed with cancer aged 42 and is undergoing 'preventative' chemotherapy. In a deeply personal, unprecedented and emotional video message, filmed at Windsor on Wednesday, Catherine revealed the news had come as a 'huge shock' and that she and William 'have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family'. It came days after she was seen smiling with Prince William as they left their favourite farm shop close to their Windsor home, and she said her husband had been 'a great source of comfort and reassurance' during her cancer fight.
Hitchockian blonde bombshells: is Princess Charlene of Monaco carrying on Grace Kelly’s legacy as fashion queen?
The women of the Monaco monarchy have long been synonymous with elegance and grace, where elegance and sophistication reign supreme. Charlene Princess of Monaco and the iconic Grace Kelly have etched their names in the annals of fashion history, sharing not only a crown but also an exquisite sense of style. But how much has Princess Charlene taken inspiration from Prince Albert II's late mother? Philadelphia-born Grace Kelly, the enchanting Hollywood star turned Princess of Monaco, was the epitome of timeless grace. Her fashion choices during the 1950s and 1960s became the stuff of legend, with her iconic wedding gown forever etched in the collective memory. From one Hitchcockian blonde bombshell to the next, her daughter-in-law Charlene has inherited her flair for blending Hollywood glamour and regal elegance.
Princess Charlene last seen in public one year ago - when will she return to royal life?
Princess Charlene has been suffering from health issues after a medical emergency left her separated from her husband and young children for months on end in 2021. Speculation has been rife about the princess’ health and when she will return to frontline royal life, with her family having recently marked a huge event in Monaco when she was seen in public for the last time.
Princess Charlene’s ‘pressure’ to ‘follow in Grace Kelly’s footsteps a lot for anyone’
Charlene, 44, has been receiving treatment for extreme fatigue at a facility outside Monaco since November. The former Olympic swimmer was admitted into medical care soon after she returned to the principality from South Africa. During her six-month stay in her home country, she collapsed and was rushed to hospital in Durban. She earlier suffered an ear nose and throat infection, meaning initially she was not able to fly.

Next Opportunity for Betelgeuse Supernova
NEWS
TICKING LIGHTBOMB Betelgeuse may have exploded in fiery supernova decades ago as scientist reveals eerie ‘space ghost’ in night sky
A RECENT study found a huge star named Betelgeuse could be set to explode into a supernova in the coming decades. That event would change the night sky forever but one scientist has told The U.S. Sun that it may have already happened. This theory is connected to the fact that Betelgeuse is so far away from Earth and the light of a supernova event would take a long time to reach us. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star in the Orion constellation that is expected to turn into a supernova explosion. It's been a red supergiant star for about 40,000 years. The exact distance of Betelgeuse from Earth has been debated by scientists in the past. Nasa once said Beteleguse is around 640 lights years away from us.
DYING DAYS Dying Betelgeuse star ‘will shine as bright as Moon’ and will be ‘visible in day’ as experts predict upcoming supernova
ONE of the most famous stars in the sky could be on its way to a supernova as experts have revealed new details in a recent study. Researchers from Tohoku University and the University of Geneva conducted a recent study on a the star that forms Orion's right shoulder. The specialists think Betelgeuse could have just a few decades before it reaches supernova and explodes. If this were to happen, it will change our view of the night sky forever. The Orion constellation will never look the same. Star gazers would also be able to witness the supernova event because it would be so bright. At first, the star is predicted to also change the sky during daytime. When Betelgeuse turns into a supernova, some scientists think it will be the third brightest object in the sky. The only objects brighter will be the Sun and the full Moon.
Astronomer predicts that a red supergiant star nearby could go supernova very soon
In the biggest celestial show ever seen, dying star Betelgeuse will be visible even during the day for several months. When it happens, it will be the astronomical event of the millennium. Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the constellation of Orion the Hunter, will explode into a supernova. There won’t be any danger to Earth from some 650 light years away, but the dying star will shine almost as brightly as the moon, visible even during the day for several months. When it finally dims it will become invisible to the naked eye. The hunter, known to humans for at least 30,000 years, will have lost a shoulder.
Betelgeuse’s Pulsations Suggest Its Explosion Is Not Far Off
If you saw Orion before it disappeared behind the Sun this year, you may have noticed Betelgeuse's unusual brightness. Astronomers are unsure of what to make of this brightening, but one team has reinterpreted long-standing patterns in its variability to conclude it is not only in the carbon-burning stage of its life, but nearing that phase’s end. If so, the nearby red giant could pass through the subsequent stages of its life in a few decades and explode in the lifetime of people reading this article.
SUPERNOVA Nearby Betelgeuse star ‘about to go supernova’ in fiery Orion constellation explosion after ‘strange behavior’ detected
A STAR could possibly reach supernova in our lifetime and account for the first since 1604, according to a reassessment from researchers. Calculations from researchers from Tohoku University in Japan and the University of Geneva in Switzerland suggest that Betelgeuse is nearing the end of its star lifetime. After a recent prognosis, the researchers have concluded that Betelgeuse has just a few decades before it reaches supernova, Science Alert reported on Monday. It is in the red supergiant star phase which is the final stage in a massive star’s lifetime before it goes supernova and is located in the Orien constellation. The last star to reach supernova was in 1604 in the Milky Way, Astro Bites reported.
VIDEO: Betelgeuse may be preparing to go supernova
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Approximately 650 lightyears from Earth, Betelgeuse, perched high as the “left shoulder” of the Orion constellation, may be preparing to go supernova. The star’s brightness has ebbed and flowed over the past thousand years. But as of late, the star has been growing increasingly bright. In May, Betelgeuse reached 142% of its normal luminosity. Scientists say this may be the star preparing the final leg of its lifespan, where it can no longer produce nuclear fuel and will collapse into a stellar explosion visible from Earth. Previously, astronomers estimated Betelgeuse’s death to happen in the next 100,000 years. But recently, a study published on June 1 by researchers at Cornell University now estimates within the next “tens” of years, making Betelgeuse a prime candidate for the next galactic supernova.
Star Betelgeuse's Spectacular Supernova Will Be Visible With the Naked Eye
The Earth might soon be in for a spectacular show in both the nighttime and the day, as our stellar neighbor Betelgeuse approaches its end of days. Betelgeuse, a star around 650 light years away from Earth, has been getting increasingly bright, hitting 142 percent of its usual luminosity at the end of May, leading scientists to suggest it might be fixing to go supernova—a huge explosion that occurs at the end of a star's life. If this dramatic star-death occurs during our lifetimes, it is expected to appear as a huge bright patch in the sky during both the day and night, around the same brightness as the full moon at its peak.
IF BETELGEUSE EXPLODES, IT'LL BE SO BRIGHT YOU COULD SEE IT DURING THE DAY FOR A YEAR
What happens when a nearby star explodes? That's been a pressing question on astronomers' minds for several months now, as the erratic behavior of Betelgeuse, which is only 500 light years away, has many wondering if it's primed to go supernova. Over the past few years, the red supergiant — already one of the brightest stars in the night sky — has gone from dimming dramatically between 2019 to 2020 to burning brighter than ever. what would Betelgeuse's demise would look like from Earth? According to a new essay it would be so resplendent that you could see it — or its imploded remnants, at least — during even the daylight, and for up to a whole year. "At night, you should be able to see it with the naked eye for another one or two years."
Betelgeuse confounds scientists yet again by getting 50% brighter
Betelgeuse, the 10th-brightest star in the night sky, is toying with astronomers yet again. This time it has become 50 percent brighter. The increase in brightness has some speculating whether we’re on the verge of witnessing a Betelgeuse supernova. Thankfully, at about 724 light years from Earth, we would not be adversely affected, yet we would be able to see the awesome flash caused by such an event.
Odd supergiant star Betelgeuse is brightening up. Is it about to go supernova? 'When it happens, the star will become as bright as the full moon, except that it will be concentrated in a single point.'
One of the brightest stars in the night sky has been getting oddly brighter, prompting speculations that it might soon explode in a supernova. Should we really look forward to such a dazzling celestial spectacle? The star in question is Betelgeuse, a huge red-tinged star that sits at the left shoulder of the unmissable constellation Orion. Some 650 light-years from Earth, Betelgeuse usually ranks as the tenth-brightest star in the night sky. Since early April, however, the star has climbed to the seventh spot and currently shines at over 140% its "usual" brightness, according to the Twitter account Betelgeuse Status, which tracks the star's behavior.
Earth's neighboring star Betelgeuse unexpectedly got 50% brighter — part of a weird process that will end in the dying star going supernova
Betelgeuse, one of the most visible stars in the Earth's sky, is behaving very weirdly. The red giant — a star not far from death — is now shining about 50% brighter than it usually would, scientists said. This comes a few years after it mysteriously got dimmer in 2019, prompting speculation about whether it was ready to collapse and explode. Scientists later found out that Betelgeuse was not yet collapsing. But it had experienced an enormous explosion that affected its brightness.
‘It’s new territory’: why is Betelgeuse glowing so brightly and behaving so strangely?
After the ‘great dimming’, the closest red giant star to Earth is pulsating twice as fast as usual and lighting up the southern hemisphere’s early evening sky. Betelgeuse, the closest red giant to Earth, has long been understood to move between brighter and dimmer in 400-day cycles. But from late 2019 to early 2020, it underwent what astrophysicists called “the great dimming”, as a dust cloud obscured our view of the star. Now, it is glowing at 150% of its normal brightness, and is cycling between brighter and dimmer at 200-day intervals – twice as fast as usual – according to astrophysicist Andrea Dupree of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics. It is currently the seventh brightest star in the night sky – up three places from its usual tenth brightest.
Betelgeuse Is Being Weird Again. What Gives?
Since what has come to be known as the Great Dimming that took place in the latter half of 2019 and early 2020, the red giant star Betelgeuse just will not stop with the wackiness. The dying star's regular cycles of brightness fluctuation have changed, and now Betelgeuse has grown uncharacteristically bright. At the time of writing, it was sitting at 142 percent of its normal brightness. It's been fluctuating back and forth on a small scale but on a steady upward trend for months and hit a recent peak of 156 percent in April.
The most fascinating star in our sky inches closer to exploding
Betelgeuse is known for being a type of "variable star," meaning its brightness fluctuates, at times dramatically, as it inches toward an eventual grandiose collapse and stellar explosion, known as a supernova. Lately, the star has grown noticeably brighter. Lately these fluctuations haven't been normal. Typically, Betelgeuse varies in brightness over 400 day cycles. But since violently blowing off a hunk of its atmosphere in 2019, these oscillating periods have shortened.
Betelgeuse’s Brightening Raises Hopes for a Supernova Spectacle
Even if you don’t know it by name, the red supergiant star Betelgeuse is one of the most familiar sights in the heavens above—a gleaming ruddy dot at the shoulder of the constellation Orion. Although already quite difficult to overlook, Betelgeuse has become even more eye-catching across the past few years because of major changes in its appearance—unexpected fluctuations in its brightness that remain poorly understood. In recent weeks, the star has at times shone more than 50 percent brighter than normal, drawing renewed attention from amateur sky watchers and professional astronomers alike.
Is Betelgeuse getting ready to explode?
Betelgeuse, normally the 10th brightest star in the sky, has brightened over the past month to creep up to 7th place on the list of brightest stars. Although Betelgeuse is an intrinsically variable star, we don't yet know: is this just a normal phase in its variability, or is it preparing to go supernova? An unexpected source, the humble neutrino, will be the only indication we have as far as advance warning goes. The truth is, it could go at any time.
KAMALA HARRIS WILL WIN THE US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ... UNLESS
SHE RUNS AGAINST KRISTI NOEM
Otherwise, it will be Harris according to election cycles and base 7 repetitions going back 100 years. I explain all that and more below in my January 10, 2024 prediction comments.
This prediction will revert back to "Kamala Harris Will Win The US Presidential Election" if Donald Trump DOES NOT select Kristi Noem as his VP running mate. No one else can defeat Harris.
But this is NOT France; it is the United States, a very huge and vast country, with many autonomous, partly self-governing states. What worked during the French Revolution may not work so well here. The US military does not bow down to do the bidding of a Danton or Robespierre, nor are there revolutionary militias to do the dirty work. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Antifa and BLM do exist however, and we saw the bloodshed, violence, arson, and destruction they caused in the name of The Squad and Kendi in 2020 and 2021. Until the "pro-Palestinian" protests they have largely kept out of view, but not for much longer. Christians, Catholics, and Jews have been targeted time and again, sometimes violently, sometimes fatally. The left-leaning news media has thus far managed to keep a lot of the violence blacked out, only allowing occasional reports. Oftentimes, lone wolf crazies are blamed for mass shootings or mass murders or, as recently seen, criminals using cars or bikes to smash into businesses and loot and destroy. They all work for the same employers, those leading the Far Left.
However, barring the worst of outcomes, election cycles have their own continuity and whoever is in charge realizes that at least the appearance of "business as usual" is better than radical measures that will bring only violence, terror, destruction, death, and chaos. The odds favor an election between real candidates of opposing parties. Of course if necessary certain individuals are marked for termination. The pending trials were created to imprison a former medium-term monarch who still wields a lot of influence and, if necessary, to assassinate him while in prison. It has nothing to do with due process of law at all. Also the son of a very famous, popular, and well-loved Democrat who has threatened to expose every evil the Far Left has brought to us since 2020 is likewise in the crosshairs of the guns of the Far Left.
If an election follows through, however, it will maintain an appearance of normality even in the face of what will be written off as "tragic events." The call will go out that the time has come to "heal the nation" and a Democratic candidate will be overwhelmingly supported by his or her party. The Far Left will be restrained, and that includes The Squad ... but only for a time. Joe Biden cannot last much longer, and for the sake of continuity his vice president, Kamala Harris, will receive the full support of her party. Only a certain female Republican has a chance of beating her, and that female is not running ... at least not yet.
So say hi to the Calvin Coolidge of the Democratic Party, Kamala Harris, who will be competent enough to lead, but will never be a "great" president.
Trump calls Noem to podium at Ohio rally, comments on her appearance
Former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem — a potential running mate — and called her up to the mic Saturday during a rally in Ohio. “We have a very special woman who’s hot as a politician. She’s doing an incredible job in South Dakota. She’s the governor, Kristi Noem,” Trump said during the event in Vandalia, according to a video shared by C-SPAN. Noem made brief comments while she and Trump both wore red “Make America Great Again” caps. She said when Trump was president, she was “on offense.” “As soon as Joe Biden got in the White House, I went on defense,” Noem said. “All I do now is fight to protect the freedom of my people.”
Kristi Noem and Vivek Ramaswamy Are CPAC’s Choices for Trump’s Running Mate
Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota and the entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy tied for the top choice to be former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate in a straw poll on Saturday at a prominent gathering of conservative activists. The straw poll, at the Conservative Political Action Conference, was the first time in years that a question about whom Republicans should pick for vice president had overshadowed one about the presidential nominee in the survey of attendees. That was partly because Mr. Trump won the presidential poll, as expected, in a landslide over Nikki Haley, beating her by 94 percent to 5 percent. The last time Mr. Trump was not the top choice for the White House among CPAC attendees was in 2016, when Senator Ted Cruz of Texas finished first.
Noem planning book amid Trump VP speculation
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), whose name has circulated as a possible running mate for former President Trump, is coming out with a new book.

This book is packed with surprising stories and practical lessons from the front lines of the battle. And she names names.”

ESCAPE FROM HELL US veterans dodge gun-wielding kids & checkpoints to save civilians from Haiti’s gangs in daring SAS-style missions
AS Haiti descends into pure anarchy, a crack team of fearless US veterans are quickly becoming the "last hope" for foreign nationals trapped within the clutches of ruthless gangs. Bryan Stern, 45, and his comrades are leading daring SAS-style land, sea and air missions into the heart of the lawless carnage to go where no one else dares. Stern is the founder and CEO of Project Dynamo - a veteran-led, donor-funded, non-profit international rescue organisation. In just over two years, it has led 610 missions and saved over 7,000 people from the world’s worst disaster zones - what they call "the grey space" where the US government can't or won't operate. But they don’t just rescue stranded Americans. “If you're a Brit in Haiti and I can get my helicopter on the ground, I won’t leave you behind,” the former Navy SEAL told The Sun.
