The situation in the Middle East has started to spiral completely out of control, and it appears that just about everyone is bracing for a major escalation.  The Chinese are telling their citizens to leave Israel, the Biden administration is sending more troops to the region, and the Israeli government has suddenly decided that now is the time to declare a “special situation on the home front” which grants the IDF extensive authority to issue orders to the general public.  Obviously all three have become convinced that something really big is coming.  What do they know that the rest of us do not?

Events in the Middle East and in Ukraine are bringing us dangerously close to the unthinkable, but meanwhile most people in the western world are paying very little attention to what is going on.  We literally have not been this close to an apocalyptic global war since the end of World War 2, and yet most of the population is partying.  Unfortunately, it won’t be too long before they are shaken out of their slumber.

Even though a lot of people out there don’t seem to realize it yet, we are watching history in the making.  Israel and Hezbollah have both been preparing for a final showdown for many years, and now here we are.  I have a feeling that both sides have more surprises up their sleeves, and in the months ahead we are going to witness things that we have never seen before.  Of course we have never seen thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies suddenly explode before either.  During a speech that was delivered on Thursday, Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah publicly declared that “all red lines have been crossed by the enemy”… (Read More...)

After what we have witnessed the past few days, there is no turning back.  Both sides are making final preparations for all-out war, and soon the Middle East will erupt in flames.  Almost a year ago, a lot of people out there didn’t believe me when I explained that the conflict between Israel and Hamas would eventually evolve into “the big war” in the Middle East.  But now there is no denying what is happening.  We really are on the brink of the unthinkable, and as you will see at the end of this article, behind the scenes someone is very happy because things are going exactly as he had hoped.

What we just witnessed in the Middle East shocked the entire globe.  Sadly, a lot more death and destruction is coming.  Whether they are both willing to admit it or not, the truth is that Israel and Hezbollah are at war.  It is just a limited war for now, but it is only a matter of time before it escalates into an “all-out war” that kills vast numbers of people on both sides.  It doesn’t take much imagination to figure out how this ends.  When there is an existential conflict that involves two parties which absolutely refuse to back down, only one party is ultimately going to survive.  Unfortunately, most people have absolutely no idea what is coming.

After months of waiting, it appears that an all-out war in the Middle East is now very close.  It is being reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes that an “all-out confrontation with Hezbollah” has become inevitable, and he has instructed the IDF to prepare for a “broad campaign” in Lebanon.  There are approximately 100,000 Israelis that have been unable to return to their homes in northern Israel for months, and Netanyahu has become convinced that the only way that they can be safely returned to their homes is to force Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon.  But of course Hezbollah will not go willingly.  In fact, Hezbollah has warned that there will be “all-out war” if IDF forces attempt to enter southern Lebanon.

We are starting to learn more about Ryan Routh’s background, and what we have learned may help to explain why he attempted to shoot Donald Trump.  It turns out that Routh is a rabid pro-Ukraine activist.  In 2022, he actually traveled to Ukraine to fight in the war, but at that time he said that he was turned away because he had no military experience.  In an interview that was originally posted by Newsweek, he claimed that “Plan B” was to stay in Ukraine for a while and encourage other Americans that did have military experience to come and fight in the war.  During that interview, he even claimed that he was getting foreigners placed in specific military units.  So obviously Ryan Routh had extensive connections inside Ukraine.  Did those connections play any sort of a role in the attempted shooting of Trump?

The chaos that we are witnessing in the streets is the direct result of the decisions that our politicians have made.  As I discussed yesterday, allowing millions upon millions of migrants that are not being properly screened to come pouring over our wide open borders is not a good idea.  There are certainly many migrants that are coming here because they want to work hard and create a better life for themselves.  But of course there are others that are coming here for other reasons.  Throwing the back door wide open for vast numbers of criminals that intend to cause all sorts of mayhem once they arrive in our major cities is extremely foolish.  We are literally committing national suicide, and many of our leaders don’t seem to care.
