Hi Friends,

An update on the plight of Syrian Christians, particularly around the city of Aleppo.

I refer you to a fresh article, from Breitbart News, titled, 'Exclusive: Persecution Expert- Christians in Aleppo could face 'Beginning of the end' under jihadi rule'.

Here are some key takeaways:

- Aleppo can be viewed as a microcosm of greater Syria.

- The Christian population of Aleppo is now no more than 20,000. Christians now make up only 1% of Syria's population. Prior to the Syrian Civil War, Christians made up 8-10% of Syria's population.

- The Western-backed jihadists who recently took over Syria are a rebranded offshoot of al-Queda and ISIS. They are currently engaging in low-level persecution of Christians and are making noise about 'protecting religious minorities', but we should be very skeptical/wary about these claims.

While Breitbart has traditionally been anti-Assad, it openly admits that minority groups such as Christians were protected by Assad, and that their future is now uncertain at best under the rebranded jihadis ('al-Queda in suits'). At worst, they could now be facing their last days in Syria after 2,000 years, right back to the days when Jesus Himself walked the Earth.

Hello again,

Today I'll be referring you to a decent, fresh new article, titled, 'Right now NATO could not win a war with Russia'.

It's a pretty good critique of NATO, as in the very existence of NATO itself.

The author, a former military man himself, reminds us that- for all the hubris surrounding NATO- it was resoundingly defeated by the Taliban.

We are also reminded that NATO lost its reason to exist when the Berlin Wall fell, and Soviet Union collapsed. Since then, it has become a tool for anglo-American (globalist) aggression.

The writer also points out that no NATO nation currently has the industrial capacity to go toe-to-toe with Russia in a conventional war.

Logistics would be a nightmare and the only nation capable of taking on Russia militarily would be the US.

Even then, it would be complicated, messy and fraught with all kinds of difficulties and dangers (even assuming it didn't go nuclear, but that's another issue).

But even with US involvement, and if it indeed managed to stay conventional, NATO countries and their military facilities would be utterly decimated and unable to protect themselves from Russian weapons and attacks (the same obviously goes for Russia, which would also be unable to protect itself from decimation).

Furthermore, according to the author, the international aspect of NATO can make its manoeuvres and operations somewhat clunky, and its forces are not battle
-hardened the way Russia's are.

And contrary to Western/globalist hubris, NATO isn't very good at strategy (Russia is often similarly inept, but that's another issue).

The author summarises NATO's shortfalls, before correctly reminding us that NATO is no longer a force for good, and indeed causes more problems than it claims to solve.

Hi All,

You would've noticed a fair bit of commotion in the media of late around Ukraine, Trump, Putin, Zelensky, European leaders, etc.

Trump is apparently bent on forcing a ceasefire, and he should be commended for this. In fact, we ought to be praying for it. If the war is still going as you read this, it's likely that at least one young Ukrainian or Russian will die a violent death or be badly wounded while you're reading this post.

No-one knows the real casualty figures, but my best educated guess would be that well over half-a-million Ukrainians have been killed in this war. The number on the Russian side is probably between 100,000-200,000.

And for every death, several are wounded. Who wouldn't want this to end? Putin is unfazed. He has plenty of blood on his hands going back the last quarter of a century. But at least he's willing to negotiate on this.

This is more than what can be said for Zelensky and his globalist/Western backers.

Zelensky appears to be utterly disinterested in peace, and is appearing more and more delusional. The creepy, obviously deviate European leaders are also fully pro-war and stand behind Zelensky.

Moreover, the globalist/Military-industrial complex Establishment media is largely backing the pro-war stance of Zelensky and the Euro/pedo philes.

The truth is, while the war has largely been a stalemated war of attrition, it is looking worse and worse for Ukraine and its backers, who refuse to see reality.

They cannot win, but continue to reject peace initiative after peace initiative, digging Ukraine deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Of course, it is not Zelensky or his creepy globalist backers who are getting maimed and killed. No, it's the youth of Ukraine and Russia.

Trump, for all of his faults, wants to put a stop to this.

Link to a new article which is related to this topic, by Daniel Davis, has been published at the military news site '1945'.

The title is, 'Could Ukraine have avoided war with Russia?'

Hi Friends,

You've probably already heard about it, but there was (in the last 24 hours) an extraordinary exchange between Trump (with input from Vance) and Zelensky, with various hangers-on (including media) present.

During the exchange, Trump/Vance told Zelensky that he doesn't seem interested in diplomacy/peace, can't win the war against Russia, is suffering growing manpower problems in his army, seems to have no qualms about using his men as cannonfodder, is thankless and arrogant, and is without a plan to end the bloodshed.

Zelensky generally stood his ground and the exchange was heated. The approximately seven-minute video I have posted below is the most pertinent part of a press conference that went for roughly an hour.

Trump seems more invested in stopping the destruction of Ukraine than Zelensky. Certainly, Zelensky's backers across Europe and in the US globalist Deep State don't care about Ukraine- they're more than happy for Ukraine to fight to the last man.

As a footnote: While Trump tries to forge a ceasefire in Ukraine against the headwinds of the globalist/Western military-media-intelligence-political industrial complex, these New World Order forces are not backing down on their plans to escalate.

As you may know, concerns have been expressed in recent months that they plan to use Romania as the fuse to ignite war between NATO and Russia.

A populist anti-war candidate recently won an election in Romania, the result of which was then annulled by the EU on the flimsiest of grounds (some pro-Russian online sources allegedly helped him in the campaign somehow).

Now, he has been arrested and placed under two-month house arrest on trumped up farcical charges ('racism', 'anti-Semitism', 'inciting genocide', among other things).

It's all truly preposterous and baseless but, meanwhile, the unpopular globalist regime stays in power there, ever ready to do the bidding of the EU/NATO/Satan.

As we speak, NATO is apparently building what will easily be its biggest base in Europe. From what I've heard, it's getting built in Romania just a stone's throw from the border with Russia and/or facing in the direction of Crimea.

The Luciferian globalists are still itching for a NATO-Russia war, and there are real fears they'll do anything to ignite it, and thus utterly derail the Trump push for peace.

One way they may choose to spark war is their tried-and-true 'false flag' strategy, ie. get their own agents to carry out/stage a high-impact atrocity, then blame it on the other side (through an Establishment media propaganda blitz).

Let's pray that it doesn't come to this. Link to the aforementioned video is below:

Hello Friends,

There is terrible news out of Syria, which you may or may not have heard.

As you may recall, many Christians in the West cheered on in the second half of last year as Israel absolutely pummelled the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, who had formerly played a key role in defending the Assad regime from the globalist/Islamist conspiracy against the Syrian state during the Arab Spring.

Israel, along with the USA, Turkey, and other sidekicks used their jihadist proxies holed up in the north-western Syrian governorate of Idlib to launch a lightning offensive across Assad-controlled Syria (towards the end of last year).

For reasons not entirely known or even understandable, the Assad regime crumbled within a couple of weeks or so. This was in stark contrast to the first years-long stage of the war, in which Assad’s forces and their allies fought tooth-and-nail to seemingly hold back the globalist-backed jihadist rebels.

Then came the false pause of several years, during which the globalists/jihadists evidently plotted in secret. Then, in the latter part of last year, with Russia well-and-truly tied up in the Ukraine, and Hezbollah on the end of a relentless hammering (and also mere days after Netanyahu had threatened Assad with regime change), the jihadists swarmed out of Idlib.

This time around, without its major allies to rely on, Assad’s forces melted away and the jihadists were in Damascus within a couple of weeks or so.

So, as you no doubt know, al-queda was suddently in control of Syria (the two-thirds or so of it that had remained under Assad’s control during the false pause). The newly-annointed leader of Syria was formerly in ISIS, but now the international government/media/military complex began to work overtime to rehabilitate his image.

Part of this entailed whacking a suit on him and interviewing him on the likes of CNN. Another part of this involved the quiet removal of a $10-million bounty from his head, which had previously been placed on him by the US government itself.

The new leader of Syria, moreover, presides over countless thousands of Sunni jihadists from al-queda, ISIS and the like, who are now being absorbed into the new national army. Thus, the Establishment media is now referring to these jihadists as ‘government forces’, while the former soldiers/loyalists of the Assad regime (many of them from the Alawite sect) are now referred to as ‘rebels’.

For context, especially for anyone new to this forum/topic, the Alawites were generally friendly with/tolerant of other minorities such as Christians, while the jihadists (now the new Syrian government) were always genocidal towards the Alawites and other minorities.

To get to the point, after months of low/mid level abuses, harrassment, massacres, and the like, the new globalist/jihadist government of Syria has bared its fangs and gotten off the leash.

The main stronghold of the Alawite sect is in the west, on the Mediterranean coast. After recent fighting between the new government jihadists and Alawites near the coast, the jihadist government called in heavy reinforcements. Just to reiterate, these ‘government soldiers’ are former al-queda and ISIS fighters who have the full, open backing of the newly-installed government in Damascus.

In short, when the reinforcements arrived, the jihadists went on a several-days long killing rampage which still may not have stopped at the time of me writing these words. Approximately a couple of hundred combatants have died on either side, but at least a thousand civilians (the vast majority of them Alawaites, but some Christians too) have been massacred, many of them in their own houses. Moreover, higher-end estimates say the real figure could be up to 4,000 or so murdered.

The jihadists filmed themselves carrying out many of these attrocities. I, myself, have seen several images of, in one instance for example, the corpse of a child which had recently had his brains blown out in an execution. I could tell you about more, but don’t particularly like looking too closely at this sort of stuff. If you really want to see the images for yourself, to prove that I’m telling the truth, go for it.

In most of the videos, jihadists enter homes, or drag victims out and shoot them en masse. Some of the even less fortunate were evidently burned alive.

Torture and mutilations were openly carried out by these ‘government soldiers’, many of them heavily bearded and clad in black uniforms just like in their al-queda/ISIS days.

Online terror sources have apparently filled up in recent days with an abundance of these snuff images (photos and videos), taken by the jihadists themselves while in the act, and in many cases appearing jovial about what they’re doing. Some videos feature scores of bloodied bodies in heaps, the apparent aftermath of mass executions. Women and children were not spared. As stated, the vast majority of these victims were civilian.

The globalist-installed leader of Syria is predictably blaming pro-Assad remnants for the atrocities, making vague pledges to ‘investigate abuses’ and the like, though we know that nothing will come of it.

An article about all of this, from a mainstream source, titled, ‘Horror of the Syrian massacres: Video footage shows brutal executions and mutilations carried out by fighters as nation’s new Islamist rulers wipe out hundreds of Assad loyalists’, is linked below:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... lists.html

Needless to say, virtually all of the anti-Assad voices of the past (US, UK, all their western lackeys, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc, etc, etc) are silent on these horrific developments and are clearly disinterested. The only international ‘outrage’ so far has been some muted diplomatic statements from the governments of the USA and Russia condemning the violence.

Weirdly, the government of Israel has also put out some statements condemning the violence, despite being one of the key instigators of the removal of the Assad government. Also, it’s a well-known and documented fact that Israel heavily backed al-queda rebels near the Golan Heights during the Syrian Civil War, and even conducted airstrikes on behalf of ISIS ground forces fighting to depose Assad during the first years of the war.

It's interesting that Israeli forces are pushing deeper and deeper into Syrian territory as we speak, utterly unimpeded by the new jihadist regime forces. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for Israel and the Sunni jihadists in Syria to come into any sort of conflict.

To get to my next point, as alluded to earlier in this post, Alawites and Christians have been natural allies. It’s been confirmed that numerous Christians were also slaughtered alongside their Alawite neighbours during these recent events.

More than half-a-dozen are confirmed murdered, but the real number will of course likely turn out to be higher. Needless to say, separate from the fatalities, there are whole Christian communities living in terror, under constant threat of harm.

I now refer you to another article, a fresh one from Al-Monitor, titled, ‘Fear among Syrian Christians after deadly attacks’. Link below:

https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/20 ... ly-attacks

It was exactly circumstances like this that led truly anti-war people to oppose the removal of leaders such as Assad, not to mention Saddam Hussein, Ghaddafi and their ilk.

Does this mean that such leaders are wonderful human beings? No, but at least they were tolerant of Christians and other minorities. And as bad as any leaders (across the whole world) no doubt are, there are very, very few on planet Earth right now who would be as bad as the newly-installed globalist terror government in Syria.

I’ll keep posting as info comes in.

Hello again,

Terrible accounts continue to come out of Syria. I refer you to a 12-minute video from CBN News.

Please note; do not confuse the independent CBN News (Christian Broadcasting Network) with the globalist mainstream CBS News.

This video features a report, with an interview, on what is starting to look like the outbreak of a genocide in Syria, carried out by the globalist/jihadist regime against supporters of the former Assad government (in this case Alawites and Christians) in the western side of the country near the Mediterranean.

Besides the wiping out of entire Alawite communities, with confirmed reports that a number of Christians were indiscriminately murdered amidst the carnage, we get some dark insights into what’s happening on the ground:

- Entire communities from towns and villages were ethnically cleansed, rounded up and executed en masse. Much of it was filmed by the murderers themselves, who posted it on social media.

- Some of the perpetrators were Chechens, who were the hardest core and most extreme among the ranks of ISIS. For context, the Chechens fought two wars against Russia around the turn of the century, winning the first one before the Russians returned for a second bout, ultimately crushing them. While the Russians had advantages in manpower and weaponry, the Chechens made up for it with nihilistic savagery such as beheading large numbers of prisoners with knives (often filming it and putting it online), ethnically cleansing ethnic Russians who had lived in Chechnya, large-scale raids and hostage-taking operations across the border into Russia (slaughtering hundreds of innocents at a time) and hunting down (often raping and killing) the civilian relatives of slain Russian soldiers.

- While the main target of the unfolding genocide in Syria is currently the Alawites (the Christian-friendly clan which Assad hailed from), there are clear signs of gathering storm clouds against the Christians.

- The new Syrian government is making some vague utterances about ‘investigating’ the mass-slaughter being carried out by its own forces, but it’s obvious that nothing will be done.

- The world doesn’t care. The persecuted victims in Syria have no-one to stick up for them. The world, happy that Assad’s regime is gone, is more than pleased with the new regime even though it’s already showing itself to be clearly worse than Assad.

- At the end, the guy being interviewed puts out a call for all followers to pray for Syria and its Christian population, which has existed since Christ was crucified.

That’s my mini-summary of the video. Hezbollah, which is now on life support, and Iran (which Netanyahu is itching to bring war against) and Russia were against the jihadists which are now currently on this genocidal rampage.

The US, Israel, the UK, the entire collective West, Turkey, and most Gulf Arab states have supported these terrorists since the Syrian Civil War broke out around 2011. Today, besides a muted statement or two (criticising the atrocities) from the US, Russia, and apparently Israel as well for whatever reason, the world clearly couldn’t care less.

In fact, the EU is rolling out the red carpet for the new jihadist leader of Syria to visit Europe some time very soon on an official diplomatic trip.

Link to the CBN report is below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWEbom7iLtE

I refer you to a second video, from a Christian YouTube channel. The title of the video is, ‘They’re killing the last Christians and no one cares’.

The video starts with a desperate plea from a crying Syrian civilian, his face partially covered, talking about the slaughter of Alawites and Christians, begging for help.

The host of the YouTube channel then points out that, before the Syrian Civil War began, 2.5 million Christians lived in Syria, but ultimately down to 300,000 as of 2022. He then points to further evidence since then that indicates that Christianity in Syria is now about to be extinguished altogether.

Syria, as pointed out by the host, was where Luke was born, where Peter ministered, and where the notion of ‘Christians’ was first coined.

Indeed, a Christian community of 2,000 years is now on the verge of ending, and the forces of what was formerly known as ISIS are leading the charge (now as members of the new jihadist, globalist-backed government).

Moreover, death tolls among Christians from the latest massacres could be much higher than reported at this stage.

As pointed out by the YouTube host, Assad (while obviously not perfect) was a protector of Christians, and the jihadist rebels (who toppled Assad and now are Syria’s new government) are openly hostile and murderous in their sentiment towards Christians (and other minorities).

The host then points out that, unfortunately, this Islamic genocide against Christians has already been going on in Iraq, Libya and Nigeria (not to mention places like Congo).

The host explains that this genocide is ignored by the globalist/mainstream media. As a piece of evidence to show this, he details how the murder of a single Muslim for his faith made headlines on outlets such as CNN, BBC, NYT, etc. But when 70 Christians are beheaded in a church in Congo (which recently reportedly happened), this same Establishment media is suddenly silent.

The host then asks why this is so, and uses data to point out globalist media agendas and biases.

The host then reminds us that Jesus warned us about this very thing, quoting ‘John 15: 18-20’ (look up this verse for yourself if you wish to). Indeed, Christians have been targeted for annihilation since the beginning of Christianity. While the ideologies of the killers/persecutors/regimes change over time, the persecution continues virtually uninterrupted. But as God told us in His word, they will never be able to destroy the church.

We’re also reminded that, on the day of judgement, our slain Christian brothers and sisters in Syria (and elsewhere, of course) will be with our Lord in paradise. We’re reminded to pray for the Christians and other persecuted minorities and even… yes, the Islamist murdering butchers who are doing Satan’s work in Syria and the other aforementioned countries (perhaps that at least someone from among them would repent and turn, before the day of judgement).

That’s my summary of the two videos, in case you don’t feel inclined to watch them. But if you do, here’s the link to the second video:
