In the popular dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale, by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, the fictional authoritarian government begins its reign of terror by cutting off women's access to money and to the financial system generally. Monday night, Canada’s House of Commons voted to extend Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s self-declared emergency powers and endorsed the use of such power in real life. The entirety of its government is now complicit in the demise of Canadian freedom. Beginning February 14, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act and the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) to suppress protests by Canadian...

More than 150 senior Russian officials have signed an open letter condemning Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine as 'an unprecedented atrocity' and warning of 'catastrophic consequences'. The deputies said they were 'convinced' Russian citizens do not back the war and blamed Putin 'personally' for ordering troops into Ukraine in an attack 'for which there is no and cannot be justification'. Putin in the early hours of today gave the order to attack, delivering an extraordinary address to the Russian nation in which he declared a 'special military operation' to 'de-militarise' and 'de-Nazify' Ukraine in what amounted to a outright declaration...

Former President George W. Bush said Thursday that the Russian war on Ukraine is the most severe threat to European security since World War II as Russian President Vladimir Putin lurches Europe, and the world, toward another Cold War. Russia’s attack on Ukraine constitutes the gravest security crisis on the European continent since World War II. I join the international community in condemning Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine," Bush said. "The American government and people must stand in solidarity with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people as they seek freedom and the right to choose their own future."

Video has emerged of Donald Trump again praising Vladimir Putin—just as the Russian president was launching his invasion of Ukraine. The clip, obtained by the Democratic super PAC American Bridge 21st Century, shows Trump calling Putin "very smart" for the steps he had taken in the days before the large-scale military attack on Russia's neighbor. The footage was filmed during a fundraiser at the former president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, which took place on Wednesday evening. At the event, Trump defended his previous praise of Putin for recognizing two self-proclaimed republics in eastern Ukraine and sending Russian troops to the...

STUDIES, THE RAPTURE, DISPENSATIONS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2022 Is the Day of the Lord a Fairy Tale? Is the Day of the Lord at hand? Tragically, many say that it is not; for many are unregenerate, blinded by the god of this world, and know not His RIGHTEOUS Word (Prov. 1:25-31, 2 Cor. 4:2-4, 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 5:1-3). All things today are moving EXPONENTIALLY toward this Day, yet it is a total fairy tale to billions! Dear friends, it will be at the end of the church age at the Rapture that the global EXPONENTIAL ACCUNMINATED lawlessness of man will...

The escalating and internationally illegal situation between Ukraine and Russia has revealed a number of concerns and issues to the world. As it stands currently, Russian forces nearly surround the country on three sides, and numbers of troops have recently violated Ukraine’s sovereign territory, moving to liberate (actually, annex) supposedly “Russian leaning” regions. Russian troops have been conducting joint military exercises with Belarus, seen by many as a precursor for a full-scale invasion. And despite the talk about negotiations and diplomacy, the situation wasn’t de-escalated, but really delayed to correspond with the end of the Olympics in Beijing – no...

WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - The United States believes that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is designed to decapitate Ukraine's government and one of the three main axes of assault is directed at the capital Kyiv, a senior U.S. defense official said on Thursday."It is our assessment that they have every intention of basically decapitating the government and installing their own method of governance, which would explain these early moves," said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, warned Wednesday that Russia’s war against Ukraine is going to distract the world from the climate change crisis and produce "massive emissions" that will negatively impact the globe. "I'm concerned about Ukraine because of the people of Ukraine and because of the principles that are at risk, in terms of international law and trying to change boundaries of international law by force," Kerry, the U.S. special presidential envoy for climate, said in an interview on BBC Arabic, MEMRI reported Wednesday. "I thought we lived in a world that had said no to that kind...

On Wednesday, speaking after an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres begged Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the war he had unleashed on Ukraine, pleading: In the name of humanity, do not allow to start in Europe what could be the worst war since the beginning of the century, with consequences not only devastating for Ukraine, not only tragic for the Russian Federation, but with an impact we cannot even foresee in relation to their consequence for the global economy in the moment when we are emerging from COVID-19. Guterres added, “This...

The fog of war is now descending on Ukraine. Things are now likely to move *very* fast, but at time of writing: the leaders of the two breakaway Russian republics had sent official requests to Moscow for military aid against “Ukrainian aggression”; the city of Kiev had declared a state of emergency; the country was again experiencing major cyberattacks; the Russian military had closed all civilian Ukrainian airspace along the country’s eastern border –until 18 May– warning it “may experience a high incidence of aircraft collision with missiles”; European airlines are being told Ukraine as a whole is now a...

Saddle us with a demented old fool as president and a passel of idiots and fools as backup. The incompetent Biden should be impeached and removed immediately before the entire world goes up in flames. But his VP is no better and the 3rd in line is dingbat Pelosi. Biden and his woke/leftist democrats have (in the name of glowbull warming, 'equity', and 'wokeness') intentionally destroyed our energy independence, wrecked our economy, softened our military, weakened our national security and have openly invited Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, et al, over to eat our lunch. This is tantamount to high...

Editor’s Note: This article was written and submitted prior to Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. The fact that it jibes so well with what we’re currently seeing lends to the notion that it’s an important read if we’re to understand what’s really going on here. Within the next couple of months it is likely that there will be direct US military involvement in Ukraine, with Russia now openly supporting and recognizing separatist groups in the Donbass region on the eastern edge of the country and apparently moving to aid them militarily in separation. This is not the first time Russia...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—With Russia poised to tear through Eastern Europe with terrifying military power, Biden warned Putin that if he doesn't stop advancing his army, he will be forced to deploy his deadly trans admiral. "You think I'm joking, Vlad! I ain't messin' around here! You don't want me to use this!" said Biden to Putin in a Zoom call, motioning to a portrait of transgender admiral and Assistant HHS Secretary Admiral Rachel Levine. "This is the deadliest weapon the United States has ever produced, and I won't hesitate to use it on you! Watch out!" Diversity and inclusion experts speculate...

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia police announced Tuesday they are making major progress, including an arrest, in the city’s carjacking crisis. Police officials say the progress is the result of a multi-jurisdictional effort that includes city, state, federal and other organizations. Some of the biggest legal, political and law enforcement heavy hitters, including Mayor Jim Kenney, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, District Attorney Larry Krasner and others, discussed the out-of-control carjackings in the city and the progress they’re making.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—After Putin led Russia in an unprovoked attack on Ukraine, Biden addressed the world and outlined the steps he'd take to stop Russia from rampaging through Eastern Europe. "Listen, folks, I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this, today I directed my social media manager to unfollow Putin on Twitter," said Biden. "That Putin guy is a major internet influencer and we need to hit him where it hurts. We have no other choice. God have mercy on us." Biden then directed his staff to "unfollow" President Putin on Twitter, warning that if Putin doesn't stop what he's...

Update(10:11amET): The potential is rising for greater fallout from the war across Europe, as intense fighting is being reported centered in the Chernobyl area. Ukrainian authorities are sounding the alarm over potentially disastrous scenarios which could ensue in areas of the Chernobyl containment zone, which includes an expansive region surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant where radioactive contamination is highest, since the April 1986 disaster. Russian troops are reportedly entering the area from Belarus, according to Interfax: Advisor to Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko said that Russian troops from the territory of Belarus entered the zone of...

Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur Right-wing doesn't love Putin just because he is an authoritarian, tyrannical leader, they love him because he's a WHITE authoritarian leader. Race has become more important than even nationality. They've turned on democracy and now even America, in favor of a white warlord. 6:35 AM · Feb 24, 2022·Twitter Web App
