Paleontologists speak of Neanderthal Man, Australopithecus, and many other pre-human forms that were supposedly forbearers to we modern-day Homo sapiens. All of this allegedly happened many millions of years ago.
Of course, removed from literal Biblical interpretation, we know that this whole field of study remains highly imaginative and speculative. There is now already a long legacy of the Bible having trumped scientific skepticism on many issues, whether historical, scientific, or otherwise.
All of the Bible has proven to be true, except what remains unfulfilled … or remains to be scientifically discovered or proven. As all that has already been fulfilled or discovered has proven to be 100% accurate, it takes only a small leap of faith to acknowledge that the rest of the Bible that science still argues with will also prove to be correct. That truism applies to science, thus also to the theory of evolution.
With respect to physical evolution, the Bible doesn’t mention any different species of humans, sub-humans, or any developmental, biological stages of mankind. As it happens, there simply isn’t any proof for the theory of evolution. It remains a religion. Nor is there any difference between ancient humanity and that of today. Man’s basic characteristics, both physical and temperamental, have not changed one iota.
With respect to humans, the Bible only makes one major racial distinction—that between Jew and Gentile. Even more importantly, the Bible makes one other distinction between humans—between the pagan and the righteous. It’s here that we see the real evidence for evolution, although a spiritual version—paganism.
That’s the launch point for our study. Virtually all anthropologists agree that today, the earth’s sphere is populated by the so-called modern man and woman. In contrast, Bible prophecy speaks of the Modern Pagan Man of the Endtimes. Today, he is the fittest creature found inhabiting and dominating the earth’s new economic sphere.
Finding Ancient Pagan Man
To discover the Modern Pagan Man, let’s first examine the character and behaviors of the ancient pagan. The Bible offers a detailed description. However, to get a balanced and accurate picture, we need to do a brief word study.
There is no specific word in the Bible for pagan. In fact, you will not even be able to find the word “pagan” in some Bible translations (for example, the KJV, ISV, ASV, and others). Why? Because it is a word meaning understood today that originated only later in New Testament times.
Today, we commonly take the word “pagan” to mean a heathen person who worships other gods or idols and is outside the Christian or Jewish faith. In Biblical times, a heathen was also a Gentile (though there were believers in God who were not Hebrew). Before Christ died for the sins of all and extended salvation to the Gentile, the Gentile and heathen were essentially one and the same. At the beginning of the New Testament era, most Jews still considered their newfound salvation through the Messiah as a progressive fulfillment of the existing Jewish faith (the religious world had not yet definably split into Jews and so-called Christians).
It took a little while before it was broadly recognized that there were Christian Gentiles who were neither heathen nor Jewish. Therefore, at the start of the Church Age, only one Greek word was still used to describe both Gentile and heathen: “ethnos.”
This Greek word “ethnos” appears 167 times in the New Testament. The point of this is that in our study of the “evolutionary” pagan, we will look only to those verses of the New Testament where the word “ethnos” is clearly in the context of the newer sense of the word—a heathen.
A study of the Bible reveals many common characteristics of the “pagan.” We will only review five of these. All of them are directly linked to the evolution of our materialistic Modern Pagan Man.
1. Self-Interest
“If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?” (Matthew 5:46-47). In these verses, Jesus makes the point that the “pagan” person operates purely out of self-interest. Their actions are motivated by their own wants and pleasures: the personal pursuit of happiness and comfort. They only love those that love them, and revile those that likewise repudiate them.
Today, some 2,000 years later, this pagan characteristic of self-interest has greatly evolved and is now held up as the very force that is leading the world to betterment, continued progress and prosperity.
In fact, supposedly advanced economic theories hold this impulse of “self-interest” in high esteem, representing a rapid transition having taken place in basically less than a few hundred years. It is a foundational tenant of market-based capitalism, the term used for today’s type of commerce (which, by the way, actually has little to do with capitalism in its original sense).
The main result is that the entire world has become deeply commercialized. Increasingly today, the prime reason for existence is commerce itself.
What does the Bible say about the “self-interests” of the Modern Pagan Man? It provides a clear message for societies that choose to define their existence in purely pagan terms … in other words, societies that have given themselves over to the rule of economics and Mammon.
The examples of Tyre and Babylon are fitting ones. Neo-Babylon (in the era of Nebuchadnezzar) was all about business. According to studies, Babylonia was essentially a commercial civilization. Virtually all of the documents that have survived from this culture are business documents. Another prime example is the history of Tyre, the extreme commercialization of which the Bible itself provides clear documentation of.
The city of Jericho may be another and even earlier example. Probably the most ancient habitation in the world and one of the most prosperous, it was the city selected by God to be the first to be conquered by the Hebrews as they entered Canaan. In fact, this city was the only one that was miraculously destroyed and the only Canaan conquest that was completely annihilated—women, children, livestock and all. God wanted it completely expunged. Why?
Could it have reeked of generations of idolatrous commercialism? God didn’t want any of Jericho’s culture to rub off on Israel. Joshua even prophesied that whoever would attempt to resurrect this city of Jericho would suffer the loss of his first and second born (Joshua 6:26). Exactly as prophesied, this occurred six hundred years later during the reign of Omri, when Hiel of Bethel did so (1 Kings 16:34).
2. Worry About Material Things
Pagans are totally consumed with material things, according to Scripture. “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them” (Matthew 6:31-32; cf. Luke 12:29-30). By this definition, then, it would be pagan to only preoccupy oneself with the pursuit of possessions and lifestyle.
Scripture refers here to only two items—food and clothing. In the society of that day, both things defined lifestyle as well as the necessities of life. This verse is therefore not just referring to mere subsistence. Clothing and food both have a necessary function. To attribute any other value to them is idolatrous and pagan.
Of course, in the modern age, lifestyle is defined by many more things than just food and clothes. To be sure, there are premium brands in clothing, top designer names, the latest accoutrements. The same is still true for some foods. The finest wines are sought; the food brands that are the most effectively advertised are the ones that people may strive to buy.
Mostly today, lifestyles are defined by other baubles such as expensive Swiss watches, luxury cars, the latest gadgets, spacious, palatial homes, and much else. To have them all is the epitome of the successful life, the trappings of elite existence. That’s the implicit goal and value of a society of pagans. “Running after these things” is today part of a highly sophisticated culture of branding, consumer surveys, advertising, and psychological research.
In this sense, there has been much change over the centuries and millennia. Here again, we see the evolution of the Modern Pagan Man. Viewing the massively endemic commercialization of America and other nations, it is hard to imagine how much more materialism could yet lie ahead.
In the next part, we review the remaining three characteristics of the Endtime Pagan Man.

Amid the continual barrage of news headlines and current events popping up in my social media feeds, two specific events caught my attention these last couple of weeks that caused me to pause and reflect on the significance of what occurred.
The first was the largely underreported, if not unreported, news in the mainstream media about the horrific slaughtering of Christians in the country of Nigeria. The second event was the result of the mayoral election in New York City, where Democratic Socialist and Muslim adherent, Zohran Mamdani, succeeded in his campaign to become the next leader of one of America’s largest cities, often viewed as the shining beacon of capitalism.
While these two circumstances might seemingly appear unrelated, there exists one prominent point of connection that is shared by both – Islam.
The driving force behind the ongoing massacre occurring in Nigeria consists of extremist Muslim groups, Boko Haram and Fulani Muslims, whose ambition is to advance the cause of Islam in the nation by converting the country’s population to the Islamic religion through indoctrination.
For those unwilling to embrace this ideology by their own volition which, in the majority of cases includes followers of Jesus, they are frequently met with hostility and persecution even to the point of extermination. They are faced with the perilous choice to forcibly convert or die. Since 2009, over 19,000 churches have been destroyed in Nigeria, and over 52,000 Christians have been murdered.
With regards to the recent election in New York City, beginning on January 1st, the city that many people consider to be the epicenter of capitalism will now be led by a man who not only embraces a socialist ideology starkly opposed to that of America’s long and prosperous heritage rooted in a free market economy, but also a man who uncompromisingly touts his Muslim identity.
In a recent speech, Zohran Mamdani defended his Muslim faith, asserting, “I will not change who I am, how I eat, or the faith that I’m proud to call my own. But there is one thing that I will change. I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light.”
Additionally, when speaking in a recent interview, Mamdani assured viewers that as Mayor of New York, were Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu ever to visit the city, Mamdani would have him arrested even though the United States is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Worldviews and Their Cultural Influence
In comparing these two events, the former demonstrates what can transpire when following a religious ideology according to strict fundamentalist interpretations to their uttermost ends; the latter represents the encroachment of the very same spiritual doctrine through a man who will be responsible for leading, governing, and setting policy for one of America’s most prominent cities, impacting millions of citizens.
To be clear, I am not suggesting that Zohran Mamdani intends to use his new position as Mayor to evangelize the citizens of New York towards the cause of Islam, nor am I insinuating that he would permit the same sort of extremist persecution seen in Nigeria to occur on American soil. What I am implying is that as a proud and faithful Muslim, the decisions Mamdani will make and the guidance he will offer during his tenure as mayor will be informed by his Islamic worldview which inevitably will conflict at times with traditional Judeo-Christian principles and values which have long served as a foundation for and helped foster the growth of New York City.
Worldviews matter, and the conspicuous implications of Mamdani’s worldview which places a higher allegiance to “international law” that is increasingly hostile towards Israel, as opposed to a patriotic commitment to American policy are already seen in his remarks about his willingness to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.
Rather than aligning with the supportive position of the United States towards the nation of Israel held by our current governing administration, Mamdani has vocalized his alignment with international interests that are increasingly informed by Islamic influence through countries that are adversarial towards the Jewish State.
It’s possible that some who are reading this article may dismiss my remarks above as “Islamophobic,” “anti-Muslim,” or opposed to “diversity.” To those detractors, I offer my reassurance that this is not the case at all; rather, my comments are meant to be a wake-up call and warning to what may very well be a harbinger of what could be on the horizon for America should the same political trends seen in New York continue to spread throughout the rest of our nation.
As the influence of Muslim ideology creeps in, change quickly follows. For those who remain skeptical of this cautionary admonition, I would urge them to look no further than the cities of London, Dearborn, Michigan, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, as examples of how transformational Islamic influence can be upon a metropolitan population.
In my own backyard, the city of Minneapolis became the first major American city to permit the Muslim call to prayer, known as the “azan,” to be broadcast from Islamic mosques before dawn and after sunset. This didn’t happen by chance; it was approved by the Minneapolis City Council’s amendment of the city’s noise ordinance, supportive of the increasingly Islamic demographic, and contrary to objections from non-Muslim residents living in the area.
Looking eastward to Dearborn, Michigan, one will find America’s first Arab-majority city where over half the population embraces Islam and represents the largest Arab community in the US. In addition to being the home of the largest mosque on American soil, Dearborn is also the residence of the Islamic Center of America, the American Moslem Society, and the Islamic House of Wisdom. It should be no surprise then that many of its inhabitants are outspokenly supportive of the terrorist group Hamas and the antisemitic “Free Palestine” movement.
Across the Atlantic, the city of London has seen the rise of over 1,800 mosques since 2001, many of which consist of formerly Christian church buildings that have been renovated into Islamic houses of worship. London has also seen an increase in Sharia Courts, also known as “councils,” which act as Islamic advisory bodies that offer guidance on legal matters, though lacking any binding authority according to British law.
Again, my intention in highlighting these examples is not to demean or disparage any adherents of the Muslim faith, but to simply call attention to the impact and implications that alignment with a particular worldview can have, especially when taken to the extreme. To be fair, any unbiblical ideology or philosophy when taken to their uttermost ends can be dangerous and detrimental to a society. One simply needs to look no further than the doctrines and dogmas that comprise atheism, humanism, Marxism, Socialism, Communism, or Nazism, to observe the ramifications of belief systems devoid of Divine inspiration and truth.
Just as it is true with Islam, it is equally true with any worldview that when proponents of those belief systems assimilate into and grow to a majority within a society, transformation is inevitable. Communities are largely a reflection of their citizenry, and it’s the citizenry that shapes the culture of their community through their values and beliefs.
A city founded upon a Biblical worldview will reflect those same values and principles through its culture and institutions. Those that are founded on alternative worldviews will likewise reflect customs and ideologies deviating from those found in God’s Word.
A Call for Christians to Respond with Truth and the Gospel
It’s with this in mind that as Christians, we must remember that the need to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ is greater than ever, and every single follower of Jesus has a God-given duty to share the Good News with those in their sphere of influence. Followers of Jesus are commissioned to make disciples of all the nations, and as they do, the transformative power of God through His Holy Spirit not only effects change in the lives of individual believers but also has the power to positively impact entire communities, populations, and countries (Mt. 28:19).
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is unlike every other religion whose promises are dependent upon one’s own efforts to elevate one’s status. The Good News found in Jesus uniquely offers a message of restoration, renewal, and resurrection because of His finished work on the cross accomplished on our behalf, not because of our own merits.
Knowing this, it’s important for believers in Christ to remember that Muslims nor followers of any other belief system are not our enemies. The Bible is clear that the real enemy is the spiritual kingdom of darkness led by Satan, who leads this world astray through his sinful schemes (Ep. 2:1-2, 6:11-12). Included among such schemes is the proliferation of demonic doctrines and false gospels, some of which were supposedly begun through receiving an angelic revelation, as is the case with Islam.
Scripture is clear that any other “gospel,” that is, any ideology, philosophy, or belief system promising a solution to sin or means of salvation outside of God’s grace extended through faith in Jesus, is to be explicitly rejected, even if it was reportedly given by an angelic being (Ga. 1:8-9). The end result for every alternative religion to Biblical Christianity is the same. False doctrine, disparate theology, and unorthodox persuasions of faith keep people from knowing the way, truth, and life found in Jesus, resulting in their eternal separation from God (Jn. 14:6).
The atrocities caused by Islamic extremism in Nigeria and the expanding influence of the Muslim population in America demonstrate one thing – the message of hope found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ remains urgently needed in our world today, especially among those who remain deceived by the doctrines of Islam.
The only real solution to the encroachment of Muslim ideology in our American culture is for followers of Jesus to intentionally look for opportunities to share their faith with friends, family, and neighbors, particularly among those who are Muslim. Christians who make up the Church in America need to speak Biblical Truth with boldness, clarity, and conviction to expose the fallacies of false religions.
Moreover, Christian parents need to be diligent to teach and disciple their children in the truth of God’s Word to not only ensure that they have a solid Biblical foundation to stand on when they are older, but also to prepare the next generation of believers in America who will be responsible for advancing the Gospel in the years to come.
Lastly, prayer for the preservation of our nation and countries around the world should never be neglected, knowing that God’s divine power, purposes, and provision are indispensable for those following in the footsteps of Jesus’ disciples, who aspire to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth (Ac. 1:
.
As you reflect on the events above, I challenge you to think about how the Lord may use you to further the cause of Christ here in America or elsewhere. What steps is He urging you to take? How can you help advance His Kingdom? What might be holding you back from sharing your faith? Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone? Christian friends, I urge you to remember that Jesus chose twelve ordinary men, people like you and me, to spread the Good News throughout the world. If they could live for Jesus, so can you and I. So, what are you waiting for? As Peter wrote to the believers of his day, I urge you to “…proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Pe. 2:9b).

Something quietly revolutionary is happening -- and it’s not about better medicine. Around the world, governments and global institutions are building a new kind of health infrastructure, one that blurs the line between wellness monitoring and total surveillance.
It began innocently enough: fitness trackers, smartwatches, health apps. Tools designed to help us understand our bodies, count our steps, check our pulse. But these gadgets were never just personal accessories -- they were the front door. Today, they’re becoming part of a vast digital network capable of tracking not just illness, but human behavior itself.
Now, with artificial intelligence scanning our posts, our moods, our online discussions, and even our movements in real time, health has become the perfect Trojan horse. Under the banner of “safety,” “prevention,” and “pandemic preparedness,” we are constructing a system that knows not only who is sick, but who might be -- and eventually, who might think the wrong things.
The Merger No One Voted For
At the heart of this transformation lies a growing alliance between health monitoring, digital tracking, and centralized information control. Once these existed in separate worlds -- doctors monitored health, governments managed policy, tech companies managed data. But now, they are merging into one continuous loop of surveillance, each feeding the other.
Health apps collect biometric data. Algorithms scan social media to detect “trends” in behavior or sentiment. AI systems interpret the language people use online, supposedly to prevent misinformation, but effectively mapping how populations think and speak.
It’s a merger of biology and data -- the monitoring of your body combined with the analysis of your mind. And all of it flows upward, toward centralized systems designed to “protect” us through constant observation.
The great irony is that we’re building this willingly. Many of the tools we wear on our wrists, or install on our phones, are marketed as liberating. We call them “personal assistants.” But their real loyalty isn’t to us -- it’s to the networks that own the data.
From Health to Obedience
Health surveillance has always been easier to justify than political surveillance. Who would argue against stopping a virus? Who wouldn’t want early detection of disease? Yet history shows that the line between protection and control is vanishingly thin.
When health data becomes social data -- and social data becomes political -- control becomes inevitable. Once a system is built to monitor for “potential health risks,” what stops it from being used to detect “potential risks to stability”?
Imagine a world where your health metrics are tied to your access to public life. Your temperature spikes, your phone pings you to isolate. Your social media post is flagged as “misleading,” your online reach is limited. You attend a protest, your movement is recorded and logged as a “public health risk.”
The fusion of health and technology gives power a new weapon -- one that operates under the guise of compassion. A society of endless monitoring can easily become a society of obedience. Not because someone knocks on your door, but because your digital reflection tells the system everything it wants to know.
The End of Private Thought
The next stage of this merger won’t just track our physical health -- it will map our emotional and ideological health too. AI already reads tone, word choice, and sentiment. It learns what angers us, frightens us, and motivates us. Combine that with real-time biometric data from wearables -- heart rate, stress levels, sleep patterns -- and a frightening possibility emerges: a profile of who we are not just by what we say, but by how we feel.
This is how modern control operates -- not through open tyranny, but through predictive design. Systems that know your emotional response can shape what information you see. They can decide which news stories appear first, which posts are labeled, which opinions are “healthy.” The result is not censorship by force, but censorship by algorithm. A managed population that believes it is free because the control is invisible.
Dependency Disguised as Progress
Another danger is dependency. As nations adopt shared digital health frameworks -- managed by international organizations -- they begin to rely on centralized systems for decision-making. That means less national autonomy and, eventually, less personal autonomy.
A “global health network” that constantly monitors populations may sound efficient, but it makes every country part of a single nervous system controlled elsewhere. And when a crisis comes -- real or manufactured -- that system can tighten instantly. Borders, travel, commerce, speech -- all can be restricted in the name of safety.
People will obey, not because they are forced, but because the infrastructure is already built to reward compliance. Digital passes, health credentials, verification systems -- all of it can be expanded beyond pandemics into everyday governance. Those who resist could find themselves quietly excluded: unable to travel, unable to transact, unable to participate fully in modern life.
Where This Leads
The logical end of such a system is a society where every human being is a monitored data point -- their health, speech, behavior, and emotions continuously tracked by unseen eyes. Governments will not need to ban dissent; they will simply predict and prevent it. The individual will not need to be punished; they will be managed.
This is not science fiction -- it’s the architecture being built right now. Each new upgrade, each new layer of “AI-driven safety,” brings us closer to a world where freedom becomes conditional on compliance, and privacy becomes an outdated concept.
The future may not arrive with the roar of tyranny, but with the hum of sensors and the calm voice of an app reminding you that it’s all “for your protection.”
The question, then, is not whether this merger will happen -- it already has. The real question is how far it will go before people realize that a monitored world, no matter how healthy, is no longer a free one.

I’m sure all of you have been watching the news surrounding the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which was led by the Trump administration. As a result, all of the living hostages have been released along with 15 of the 28 murdered hostages.
All of the deceased were supposed to have been released over a week ago, within 72 hours from the start of the agreement. Unsurprisingly, Hamas is claiming that they can’t get to the remaining 13 bodies, saying that they are buried in rubble and require heavy equipment to access.
Israel isn’t buying it—and I don’t blame them.
That was merely the first violation of the new peace agreement. The terror group has also been carrying out attacks against IDF troops.
Fox News, reporting on the violations, detailed:
The Israeli military conducted strikes against Hamas in Gaza after accusing the terrorist organization of repeatedly violating its ceasefire agreement on Sunday.
An Israeli military official confirmed the strikes to Fox News on Sunday, pointing to attacks by Hamas since Friday. The IDF later confirmed that it was taking actions in Gaza.
“Earlier today, terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF troops operating to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the Rafah area, in southern Gaza, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement,” the IDF said in a statement.
“In response, the IDF has begun striking in the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnel shafts and military structures used for terrorist activity,” it continued.
Israel has responded by striking areas in the north and south of the Gaza Strip.
Hamas claims it wasn’t them who attacked IDF troops, and they know nothing about it. Should we believe the terror organization? I highly doubt it.
As the US warned the Palestinians, Hamas was planning to begin fighting Palestinian rival groups and had already begun by executing over 30 Gazans in the streets—another violation of the ceasefire.
Footage from social media, which has been verified to Reuters by a Hamas source, showed seven men being forced to their knees and shot from behind by Hamas gunmen during public executions in Gaza on October 14th, 2025.
Fox News further reported:
The reported attacks on Israeli troops come after Hamas spent days fighting Palestinian rival groups after the ceasefire went into effect.
According to Reuters, Hamas executed at least 33 people in recent days in what officials described as a campaign to “show strength” after the ceasefire. Israeli sources say most of those killed belonged to families accused of collaborating with Israel or supporting rival militias.
I have personally seen disturbing footage of Hamas using pipes and steel bars to brutally beat and break the limbs of Palestinian civilians whom they accuse of “collaborating with Israel.”
These monsters are nothing less than a demonic death cult—and the only way they are going to disarm is if Israel is allowed to finish them off. Preventing Israel from doing so simply allows Hamas to live another day.
This battle isn’t over yet. Now is not the time to stop praying. Though President Trump’s efforts for peace have resulted in the release of the living hostages (praise God for that), it’s far from any lasting peace.
What we are witnessing today reminds me of what these peace efforts are all driving towards: the ultimate “peace deal” of Daniel 9:27.
A future world leader that the Bible calls “the beast” or the “antichrist” will confirm a deal with the house of Israel for seven years. Isaiah 28 calls it a deal made “with death and hell.” This will be the ultimate deal with a demonic death cult, which includes Satan himself, as he is the one driving this yet future agreement. We read in Revelation chapter 13 that he possesses this coming one world leader.
Even with what is happening around us, we should all recognize that Satan is the one driving all of the demonic hatred against Israel and the Jewish people.
The efforts for peace today may have good intentions. I’m not arguing that striving for peace is bad. Israel longs for peace! But to think that you can make peace with people who wish you dead and will not recognize your right to exist… Well, it’s just a fantasy, and it’s paving the way to that ultimate peace deal, which is yet to come.
What this world needs is to meet the Prince of Peace—Israel’s Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus. In the end, only He can change hearts. He is going to return one day, as He has promised, and He will fix the mess that this world has made.
John writes in Revelation 22:20, “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!”

Under the personal and ideologically-driven Islamist direction of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey aspires to actively construct a strategic encirclement of Israel, an Israeli terrorism expert has warned, days after reports emerged stating that the Trump administration is weighing allowing Ankara to purchase F-35 fighter jets.
Turkey’s willingness to back U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point truce plan has reportedly increased its chances of acquiring the stealth aircraft, though this has yet to be confirmed.
Dr. Ely Karmon, a senior research scholar at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism at Reichman University in Herzliya and a member of the Israeli non-partisan group Coalition for Regional Security, told JNS in recent days, “If Erdoğan’s plan to take over Syria in the military domain succeeds and he receives approval for a military force, legitimacy and Qatari money for construction in Gaza, Turkey will largely replace the Iranian dream of enclosing Israel in a more dangerous military and political ring.”
Karmon warned that “when it comes to Israel, Erdoğan is the one who sets Turkey’s policy and he is personally responsible for the deterioration of bilateral relations between the countries for years. Erdoğan has strong anti-Israel feelings, based on deep-rooted religious beliefs. Erdoğan simply despises Israel.”
Karmon explained that this animosity is channeled through a calculated political strategy. “President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attaches great importance to the Palestinian issue, presenting himself as the protector of the Palestinians and of the holy Islamic sites in Jerusalem,” he said. “By exploiting the Palestinian issue, Erdoğan is trying to present Turkey to the Arab public as a leading power in the Middle East and to achieve Islamic legitimacy in the region.”
This strategy has included long-standing and overt support for the Hamas terrorist organization. In March 2006, Erdoğan invited a high-ranking Hamas delegation to visit Turkey, immediately after its success in the Palestinian Legislative Council elections, Karmon recalled, contrary to the advice of his advisers and the positions of the Turkish media.
“Since then, political and operational relations with Hamas have continued to grow,” Karmon said.
He noted that this backing became tangible when, in May 2010, the Mavi Marmara, a Turkish ship carrying a large Turkish militant group from the Foundation for Human Rights and Humanitarian Relief (IHH), led an international flotilla that tried to break the Israeli security blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Ankara’s influence campaign has also extended into Israel itself. “Relations with the northern wing of the Islamic Movement in Israel [itself banned in 2015] also strengthened, as both share a common ideology and their goal is to promote Jerusalem as an issue in the radical Islamic discourse,” Karmon stated.
“About 63 million dollars donated by the Turkish government were transferred to organizations in East Jerusalem dedicated to the protection and strengthening of the Muslim heritage and character of Jerusalem. Some of the money financed the Murabitun movement (which includes male radical Islamist activists) and the Murabitat (which includes female activists), who harassed and physically attacked Jews visiting the Temple Mount.”
Following the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre by Hamas, Erdoğan’s rhetoric reached a new level of vitriol.
“On Oct. 11, 2023, Erdoğan said that Israel’s siege and bombing of Gaza in response to the Hamas attack was a disproportionate response, a ‘massacre’ in his words, but he did not condemn the Hamas massacre of civilians,” Karmon said.
This escalated significantly when Erdoğan stated in March 2024 that Ankara “firmly supports” Hamas.
“’No one can make us declare Hamas a terrorist organization,’ the Turkish president said in a speech in Istanbul, while comparing Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government to ‘Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin, like the Nazis of today,’” Karmon said.
This rhetoric was followed by action, with Erdoğan severing all economic ties with Israel in April 2024 and joining South Africa’s ICJ petition accusing Israel of genocide.
Karmon warned that Turkey is now leveraging the collapse of the Assad regime to dramatically increase its influence in Syria, with direct implications for Israel.
“With the fall of the Assad regime and the decline in the status of its two major allies, Russia and Iran, in Syria, Turkey seized the opportunity to significantly increase its influence in the country in the field of defense (among others), in an apparent attempt to turn Syria into a Turkish protectorate,” he said.
He pointed to a January 2025 statement by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who declared that in this “new era ... Turkey is the shepherd and protector” of all groups in Syria.
This ambition is backed by force, with some 90,000 fighters of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) operating in the country, an organization that surrounds Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, and which has been accused of kidnappings, extortion and other crimes.
According to an Oct. 10 report by the Washington, D.C.-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Erdoğan left a previous trip to Washington empty-handed on his request for F-35 fighter jets.
However, a report in The National Interest from Oct. 10 noted that Turkey is moving to purchase Eurofighter Typhoons from Qatar, signaling its intent to upgrade its air force regardless.
As part of the recent U.S.-brokered hostage deal, the American compensation appears particularly far-reaching. According to an October 8 report in the Turkish Daily Sabah newspaper, Erdoğan was promised the supply of F-35 aircraft, and he is slated to a legitimate player in the Gaza agreement’s implementation process.
Oded Ailam, a former head of the Counterterrorism Division in the Mossad and currently a researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCSFA), has warned of Turkey’s destructive role.
In a recent analysis for Mako, Eilam argued that it “is difficult to ignore the deep aspirations of the current Turkish president,” which he described as the wish to resurrect the Ottoman empire and turn into a modern sultan.
He added that this is occurring alongside a strengthening of the Turkish-Egyptian military cooperation, which included meetings this year between the chiefs of staff of both countries and discussions on joint development of military industries, and maneuvers.
“In the past decade, Turkey has not only strengthened its fleet with purchases of advanced submarine types, developed a light aircraft carrier, and purchased naval attack weapons, it has also strengthened its cooperation with other countries in the Middle East,” Eilam said.
Israel is not the only country facing this neo-Ottoman vision, he said, naming Greece and Cyprus as others that must deal with increasing Turkish dominance.
“Israel can celebrate the Gaza agreement, but not fall asleep instead of standing on guard,” Eilam cautioned. “If the Mediterranean Sea is a game board, Erdogan has already placed more than a queen on it. He placed a whole fleet.”

We are living in historic days! The insanity of this most recent period can look toward Iran’s nuclear arms push for a general start point, along with their strategy to arm militias to terrorize the Middle East and make strikes against Israel. The Israel Defense Forces battled Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and a host of other ayatollah-backed terrorists whose skill and organizational levels ranged from well-structured and pretty smart to ragtag and dumb as a bunch of rocks. Then came October 7, 2023. Hamas attacked in force. An over-confident Israel was caught flat-footed. The brutality and slaughter carried out by the terrorists was unprecedented, and the 251 innocent civilians taken back to Gaza as hostages ensured that Israeli anger would remain piqued and its sorrow potent.
The War
For 738 days, these men and women, both young and old, were held as bargaining chips and deployed as human shields. Israel didn’t remain quiet. They unleashed the full strength of their military to find these victims, who were their brothers and sisters, and to exact a cost from the unholy terrorists who perpetrated the heinous slaughter. The IDF attacked northern Gaza, discovering a vast array of underground tunnels that stretched for miles and miles. At first, they held the support of most countries, who understood the need for a nation to rescue its victimized civilians and ensure safety at its borders.
But then time went on and the war spread throughout Gaza. Because Hamas was embedded into the cities and neighborhoods, hiding in hospitals and tunneling from beneath schools, Israel’s actions began to feel uncomfortable for some nations. Then, when popular protests began, many simp countries from the United Nations saw an out. They, too, condemned Israel for their conduct during the war. These nations knew the truth, that no other country has ever taken so many precautions to protect civilian lives as has Israel. But they ignored proven facts in order to forward their anti-Jewish narrative. This anti-Israel wave gained momentum, until it reached tsunami levels these past couple weeks with European nations, one after the other, demanding a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine – a solution really not wanted by Israel, and despised by the Palestinians.
But while all the western European nations, as well as those Down Under, were falling over each other to prove how anti-Israel they could be, there was one nation who didn’t cave to the peer pressure. Despite the public protests and the caterwauling by the left, the administration in Washington was determined to try to find a real solution to the situation. They worked for weeks, eventually coming alongside the Qataris, who in actuality are the very reason why the war went on as long as it did due to their support of Hamas and coddling of the terrorist group’s leadership. Still, America and Qatar worked to forge a deal, and ultimately they did. There were other nations involved in the political wrangling, but essentially it was President Trump and the Emir of Qatar who made a peace deal happen.
The Deal
President Donald Trump presented a 20-point plan for ending the war in Gaza. If you would like the points of the plan, I would direct you to the X link that the White House website provides. The two most essential provisions for all Israelis were found in points four and five of the plan, which called for all hostages, living and deceased, to be returned within 72 hours. In exchange, Israel would release 1950 Palestinian convicts, plus the remains of 15 deceased Gazans for every deceased Israeli. Is it imbalanced? Of course. But those of us in Israel are used to that because we love our people to a degree that is far greater than our disdain for our enemies. Hamas, on the other hand, hates Israel much more than they love their own children, which is why they keep sending them to blow themselves up in our country, celebrating their murder/suicide progeny as martyrs.
It is this hostage exchange that has been the focus of this past week. I will get to that a few paragraphs down. When the agreement was finally reached, there was great celebration in Israel. Not because it is a perfect deal. It is far from that. But it meant our hostages were coming home. And because it was President Donald Trump who was the key figure in brokering the deal, he is being lauded in Israel as a hero. This past weekend, when he flew to Israel, he was greeted with signs and banners all over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem thanking him for his efforts. After a meeting with President Isaac Herzog, during which he was given the President’s Medal which is the highest civilian decoration in Israel, and a meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, who gave to him a golden dove of peace, Trump went to the Knesset. When he was introduced, he received the longest standing ovation ever given in the Israeli parliament.
Netanyahu was the first to speak, and he said, “President Donald Trump is the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House.” Then, looking ahead, he added, “We made the Abraham Accords, and we will do it again.” After the prime minister was done, Trump took the podium and appeared to be as comfortable speaking there as he would have been at a campaign rally. He took time to praise Netanyahu, the IDF soldiers, and the chief of staff. Of the deal, he said, “When the dust settles and the smoke clears, a brighter and better future emerges.” All in all, it was a time that will go down in the annals of the Knesset for its joy and its celebration of American-Israeli friendship.
When the president’s time in Israel was completed, he flew to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to join Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for an official signing of the Gaza Peace Plan. While there, they were joined by quite a few other world leaders who were either excited about the prospect for peace, or who just couldn’t bear missing a photo opportunity they could use to fool their citizenry into thinking that they actually care.
The Backtrack
In a surprise to absolutely no one, Hamas is already trying to back out of certain elements of the deal. Sources from the New York Post, as well as members of their own organization are saying that there is no way that they will completely give up their arms or let go of control of Gaza. “We will not be prisoners to Israeli terminology or demands. This will be a key focus in the next phase of our struggle,” said Hazem Qassem, Hamas spokesperson, completely forgetting it was the United States who penned the 20-point plan. The fact that his organization had already signed the agreement also appears to have slipped his mind. Other terrorist organizations around Judea and Samaria also say they won’t abide by the ceasefire. “The resistance factions did not agree to disarmament, and we do not accept threats to forcibly disarm,” warned the deputy secretary-general of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, sounding very much like a mouse who happened to stumble across a bullhorn.
If Hamas backs out from this deal, it will not go well for them. President Trump emphasized the necessity of follow-through, saying, “Either Hamas will disarm or we will disarm them. It will happen quickly and maybe violently, but they will be disarmed. Prime Minister Netanyahu added, “The conditions of the 20-point plan are very clear. It’s not only that we get the hostages out, it’s also about disarming and demilitarization…. If the second part is not implemented peacefully, I heard President Trump say that the gates of hell will open.” Obviously, Bibi has learned the fine art of speaking softly and carrying a big White House.
One more item that is no surprise is that the violence continues in Gaza. Now that Hamas can’t fire at the IDF anymore, they are turning their guns on their own people. If you follow my Telegram channel, you will see that Hamas is comprised of vicious people who need an outlet for their evil. Civilians are being gunned down in the streets for deeds contrary to the ruling terrorists, whether their actions are real or simply perceived. The IDF is also not at a place in which they can unload and stow their weapons. Just Tuesday, a group of three or four suspects crossed well-defined no-go lines. The IDF warned them to go back, but they still came forward. An air force attack helicopter ended their progress.
The Heroic Living
I did not want to finish this newsletter without highlighting what is truly most important. We have our living hostages back. Twenty men who somehow survived the beatings, the starvation, and whatever other brutalities the monsters of Hamas subjected them to. While I do not fully agree with everything in the peace agreement, I am more than willing to overlook any disagreement because these men are now home. God is good. His name is to be praised. Those who came home this past weekend are (numbers reflect age when taken):
• Matan Angrest, 20, is an IDF soldier who was taken hostage from his tank unit at Nahal Oz. He has now been reunited with his family
• Alon Ohel, 22, is a talented pianist who arrived at the Nova festival about an hour before Hamas attacked. His family placed a yellow piano in the Hostages Plaza in Tel Aviv for people to play to help boost hope. Alon will now have the opportunity to play that piano himself
• Omri Miran, 46, was taken captive from Kibbutz Nahal Oz and has now been reunited with his wife and young daughters whom the terrorists miraculously decided to leave at home
• Eitan Mor, 23, was a security guard at Nova and was last seen in a large field trying to usher others to safety. He has now been reunited with his family
• Guy Gilboa-Dilal, 22, had gone with his older brother, Gal, and friends to the Nova festival. When the attack happened, he and Gal split up in their attempt to escape. Gal got away, but Guy was taken. They are now reunited, along with the rest of the family
• Gali Berman, 26, was taken from Kibbutz Kfar Aza, a site especially hard hit. He was taken with his twin brother, Ziv, from the “young generation” neighborhood in which nearly a third of the residents were slaughtered and seven were kidnapped. Gali is now home with his family
• Ziv Berman, 26, was abducted with twin brother, Gali. For ten days, their family didn’t know if they were alive or dead. Ziv and brother, Gali, are now back home
• Elkana Bohbot, 34, who was at the Nova Music Festival is now home with his wife and three-year-old son
• Avinatan Or, 30, was taken with his girlfriend, Noa Argamani, from Nova. Argamani was rescued from Gaza in June 2024, and Or has now reunited with her
• Yosef-Haim Ohana, 23, was taken after delaying his escape to try to help fellow festival-goers
• Evyatar David, 23, was taken from Nova and had been videoed just two months ago as Hamas forced him to dig his own grave
• Rom Braslavski, 19, was working as a security guard at Nova and was able to save several people from capture before being wounded in his hands and captured
• Segev Kalfon, 25, was fleeing Nova when he was captured and stolen away
• Nimrod Cohen, 19, was at Nahal Oz when he was taken by terrorists to Gaza
• Maxim Herkin, 35, decided at the last minute to go to the rave at Nova. When he was taken, he left behind his mother, preteen brother, and baby daughter, all of whom he was provider for
• Eitan Horn, 37, was visiting his brother, Iair, at Kibbutz Nir Oz when both were kidnapped to Gaza. Iair was released in February 2025, and Eitan is now reunited with him and the rest of his family
• Matan Zangauker, 24, was taken with his girlfriend, Ilana Gritzewsky, from Kibbutz Nir Oz. Ilana was released in November 2023, and Matan is now reunited with her and with his family
• Bar Kuperstein, 22, was part of the Nova staff and stayed to take care of the injured at the festival. The last he was seen was in a video in which he was tied up on the ground. He is now home with his family
• David Cunio, 34, was taken with his wife, Sharon, and three-year-old twin daughters, along with other family members, from their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. His family was released in November 2023, and he has finally now joined them
• Ariel Cunio, 34, is the twin brother of David and was also taken from Kibbutz Nir Oz, along with his girlfriend Arbel Yehoud, whose brother, Dolev, was killed by the terrorists. Ariel and David were held separately throughout their confinement, but they have now been reunited, as have Ariel and Arbel, who was released in January 2025.
The Blessed Deceased
On October 13, Israel received the remains of four hostages: Bipin Joshi, 23; Guy Illouz, 26; Yossi Sharabi, 53; and Daniel Peretz, 22. Then, on Tuesday, four more bodies were delivered: Eitan Levy, 53; Tamir Nimrod, 20; and Uriel Baruch, 35. The fourth body was discovered to not be that of either a hostage or a Hamas member. I have information as to who it actually is, but that is something I’m not yet at liberty to talk about. Finally, Inbar Hyman, 27, and Staff Sergeant Muhammad al-Atarash, 39, came home last night. I am only mentioning the names of the deceased now, because the return of our fallen is still in progress. Nineteen bodies still remain. Hamas says they cannot access the remains of the other hostages. I expect there will need to be some very clear verification of that assertion.
The world is still at war in many areas, and there are the usual crazy actions being perpetrated by a deceived population. However, I will hold that for next week. My goal today was to update you on the agreement and then give you some insight as to why we were so determined to return home these remaining hostages. They each have an uphill road ahead of them after more than two years in a brutal captivity. Use the list that I have provided to you to pray for these men and their families. Ask God to give them peace, comfort, and hope. Most of all, ask that their eyes are opened to the real truth that comes from Someone who loves them more than they can imagine.

Had Hitler not committed suicide in his bunker and survived the war, would he have been a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize? Of course not, so, why in the world is Palestine being recognized as a state almost two years after the bloody murders of October 7, 2023, by Hamas, and with still hostages kept in Gaza? Are we rewarding terrorism, rape, murder, and hostage taking? By saying yes to the Palestinian Authority demanding full recognition, we absolutely are, and that is more problematic than people realize.
This year marks the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, and while there are many parts of the world that could benefit from a genuine global organization that claims to be “the one place on Earth where all the world’s nations can gather together, discuss common problems, and find shared solutions that benefit all of humanity” the United Nations are obsessed with demonizing and delegitimizing Israel. So much so, that since 2015, it has passed 301 resolutions against Israel and 192 against the rest of the world, including some countries such as North Korea, Iran, Sudan, Russia, China, Syria, and others. The double standards are so obvious, but nobody seems to care. The bias and one-sidedness are sickening!
Officially, the Palestinian Liberation Organization declared the establishment of the State of Palestine in 1988. This happened under the leadership of Yasser Arafat, who, incidentally, was born in 1929 in Cairo, Egypt, not “Palestine.” Ever since, more countries have officially recognized Palestine as a bona fide state. 151 out of the 193 nations part of the United Nations have now taken sides against Israel by recognizing Palestine. This year, the UK, France, Belgium, Portugal, Australia, Malta, and Canada will join ranks.
It would be difficult to accept such a recognition even if it had conditions to it, knowing full well that these pre-requisites to a two-state solution would be broken within days. How do I know that? Simply look at the Gaza Strip. That area was under Israeli control until 2005. Under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Israel dismantled their military operations and evacuated all Israeli citizens from the Strip, leaving behind an infrastructure that could have been picked up and utilized to grow the Arab economy in the Gaza Strip. Buildings were destroyed, greenhouses leveled, along with any remnant of an Israeli economy and infrastructure. Twenty years later, the Gaza Strip includes 300 miles of tunnels dedicated to only one thing: killing Jews!
Let me get this straight. Israel has not been inside Gaza officially since 2005, so there is no occupation of that strip of land by Jewish settlers, period. The strip was given unilaterally to the Arabs to settle and grow their economy and society. Instead, they expanded their terrorism year after year, right in front of the world and with he financial help and political support of many nations, in the name of peace in the Middle East, and then…October 7, 2023, happened. Now, several major nations from within the West are recognizing Palestine unilaterally and without any conditions. What could possibly go wrong?
Since 2015, the United States has voted 93% in favor of Israel at the UN. Let’s pray that trend continues. Yet, with the likely election of Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor of New York and the slow but steady growth of Islam within our walls, America could turn on Israel as well. After all, the Bible does prophesy that in the End Times, the whole world–including America– will turn on Jerusalem, as spoken by Zechariah, “But it will be in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who heave it up will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.”
As “Palestine” is on the cusp of being unilaterally recognized and terrorism rewarded, Israel increasingly finds herself pushed into a corner. Bibi might not have any other option but to annex Judea and Samaria (wrongly labelled as the West Bank) as a response to the Palestinian recognition.
The land never was and never will be Palestine, no matter what people call it. It is God’s land, and He was the very first Zionist! Coming to the rescue of Israel and speaking up against the lies spewed by the Red/Green axis is not only unpopular, but it is slowly becoming lethal. In light of Charlie Kirk’s assassination for speaking biblical truth and being a friend of Israel, we must not remain silent. As the days of being pro-Israel continue, even if her friends are dwindling down, those of us in that camp need to move it up a notch and get skin in the game. As we continue to be pro-Israel, we now need to become proactive for Israel.

An “unprecedented” gathering of generals and admirals will be happening in Virginia next week, and the purpose of the meeting is a huge mystery. This has sparked a frenzy of speculation on social media, but we still aren’t getting any answers. Hopefully we will get an explanation soon, because things are starting to get really weird. First the “Department of Defense” was renamed the “Department of War”, and then President Trump boldly declared that Ukraine can win the war against Russia and take back all of the territory that the Russians have conquered. Of course that wouldn’t be possible unless NATO forces got directly involved. So are we going to war soon? There are some that believe that this is the real reason why this mysterious gathering of generals and admirals has been scheduled for next week…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered hundreds of the nation’s top military officers to assemble at a Marine Corps base in northern Virginia next week for an unscheduled meeting, an unusual move that has raised questions inside the Pentagon.
The gathering, set for Tuesday at Quantico, will bring together generals and admirals of one-star rank or higher, along with senior advisers, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke to the Associated Press.
The directive did not include a reason for the meeting. The people, who described the move as extraordinary, were not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.
Quantico is quite secure.
I have been there myself.
But I think that it is quite foolish to gather all of our military brass in a single location.
Our enemies know exactly where they are going to be, and they could all be taken out in a single strike.
According to CBS News, all we are being told is that Pete Hegseth will be “addressing his senior military leaders”…
“The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” said chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.
The Pentagon has provided no other details about the meeting to either the military leaders or the press.
Isn’t this something that could be handled over a video call?
If I was a senior military official, that is what I would be thinking.
Either Pete Hegseth is wasting everyone’s time, or this is something really big.
A war with Russia would certainly qualify as something really big. On Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov publicly stated that he believes that NATO is already at war with Russia…
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Thursday, per a Public Telegram Board, that NATO and the European Union are waging war against Russia “using Ukraine as a proxy” and are “directly participating” in the conflict. Lavrov’s comments follow repeated Kremlin claims that Western military and financial support for Ukraine amounts to direct hostility toward Russia.
The announcement also comes amid repeated drone incursions into NATO allies’ air space. NATO warned Russia on Tuesday that it was prepared to defend “every inch of allied territory” after Estonia said that Russian fighter jets had violated its airspace last week. The incursion followed a similar incident in Poland earlier this month, where around 20 drones from Moscow entered Polish airspace. Just this week, Denmark reported multiple drone incidents at critical infrastructure points, as a Russian landing ship was discovered lurking off the Danish coast.
Unless the Russians actually want to start something, they need to keep their aircraft out of NATO airspace.
A single incident could potentially change everything.
But the Russians just won’t stop. In fact, two Tu-95 long-range strategic bombers and two Su-35 fighter jets just flew through the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone…
U.S. fighter jets were scrambled Wednesday to identify and intercept four Russian warplanes flying near Alaska, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said in a statement.
NORAD said two Russian Tu-95 long-range strategic bombers and two Su-35 fighter jets were flying in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), which is international airspace that abuts U.S. and Canadian sovereign airspace.
NORAD responded Wednesday by sending an E-3 early warning and control aircraft, along with four F-16s and four KC-135 tanker planes, “to positively identify and intercept” the Russian aircraft in the Alaskan ADIZ.
What in the world are the Russians thinking?
If they keep pulling such stunts, it is just a matter of time before one of their aircraft gets shot down.
In fact, Ursula Von der Leyen just warned that shooting down Russian aircraft is very much “on the table”…
Von der Leyen assured Amanpour that the option of shooting Russian aircraft out of the sky is “on the table” – following last week’s alleged drone and jet incursion incidents which took place in Poland, Romania, and Estonia. In each instance jets were scrambled from the NATO countries.
“My opinion is we have to defend every square centimeter of the territory,” von der Leyen told the CNN correspondent. “That means if there is an intrusion in the airspace, after warning, after being very clear, of course the option of shooting down a fighter jet that is intruding our airspace is on the table.”
That’s just great.
Does she not understand what would transpire if that actually happened?
According to Russia’s ambassador to France, if a Russian aircraft gets shot down there “would be war”…
NATO potentially shooting down a Russian plane in allied airspace “would be war,” Russian Ambassador to France, Alexey Meshkov, said in an interview with the RTL news channel published on Sept. 25.
The comments come amid surging tensions between Moscow and NATO as the allies accused Russia of multiple airspace violations in recent weeks.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft violating their airspace, a statement welcomed by many eastern members.
When asked what Russia’s reaction would be in such a case, Meshkov replied that downing a Russian plane would amount to war.
Both sides are being so irrational.
We are closer to war with Russia than we have ever been before, and the Ukrainians are absolutely thrilled about that because they have been trying to draw NATO directly into the conflict for a long time.
Earlier today, it was being reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has gleefully suggested that Russians will soon need “to know where their bomb shelters are”…
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the Kremlin will become a target and Russian officials should check for bomb shelters if Moscow does not stop its invasion of his country, Axios reported Thursday.
“They have to know where their bomb shelters are,” Zelensky told Axios in an interview. “They need it. If they will not stop the war, they will need it in any case.”
Of course it is also possible that the mysterious gathering of U.S. military officials at Quantico next week could have to do with the situation in the Middle East.
Instead of backing down, Iran is rapidly rebuilding their nuclear facilities…
Speaking to Sky News in Vienna, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Mohammad Eslami, also said there will be no direct talks with the US.
He vowed the damaged facilities would be rebuilt despite the threat of further attacks by Israel.
“It is quite normal that during a military attack on facilities, they incur damage and the infrastructure is destroyed,” he said. “What is important is that science, know-how, technology, and industry are long-standing and deeply-rooted in the history of Iran.”
Personally, I will be watching the Middle East very, very closely during the next several weeks.
If something causes war with Iran to suddenly erupt again, that will tell us a lot.
Another theory that is being floated to explain why so many military officials are being summoned to Virginia next week is that the Trump administration is planning a nationwide crackdown on political violence.
As I detailed yesterday, we have entered a new era of violent domestic terrorism. There have been so many examples of this in 2025, and President Trump is warning the left that “ultimately it’s going to go back on them”…
President Donald Trump warned that Americans on the political right eventually “won’t take it anymore” amid escalating political violence in the United States and suggested they might respond by targeting the left with violence.
“It’s going to get worse and ultimately it’s going to go back on them,” Trump said in the Oval Office on Sept. 25 in response to a question from a reporter. “Bad things happen when they play these games.”
Trump’s remarks came after a gunman opened fire on Sept. 24 at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, killing one detainee and injuring two others. Trump quickly blamed rhetoric from “radical-left Democrats” for the shooting, which came two weeks after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking on a college campus in Utah.
Will we soon see troops on the streets of major cities all over the country?
If so, how will radical leftists respond?
Lastly, there are some on social media that are suggesting that the mysterious meeting that is being held next week has to do with one of the extremely large comets that are now traveling through our solar system.
3I/ATLAS is not supposed to come anywhere near us, and we are only supposed to go through the orbital debris trail of C/2025 R2 (SWAN).
So at this moment it does not appear that either of them is a significant threat to us.
But maybe we aren’t being told everything.
Only time will tell.
Whatever this secret meeting is about, I just wish that they would invite me. I would love to talk to them about what is really coming.
We really are living in apocalyptic times, and I have a feeling that global events are going to become very “interesting” during the months ahead.
