Current Events

We begin with an array of reports centering on strategic actions on the part of nations in Asia—especially, China, and its concerned neighbors; we bring yet another example of Donald Trump’s unbridled public rhetoric causing even German leadership to voice strong concerns about a possible President Trump.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s refugee policies draw condemnation as Turkey positions itself more and more outside the EU and into the arms of Putin’s Russia; and England worries that it doesn’t have enough jails for pedophiles!

Current Events

We begin with foreboding steps toward a militarized Europe as both France and Germany implement a growing military role within their countries and even London is forced to respond by arming some of their police. Japan seizes headlines with appointment of a new defense chief with far-right sympathies, and Angela Merkel’s immigration policy threatens her premiership in Germany.

We report about the turmoil surrounding candidates Trump and Clinton; highlight Turkey’s contentious actions following the attempted coup; conclude with reports of more acceptance for gay lifestyle in the U.S. (In this context and to understand why the Bible condemns such actions, please see our recent sermon by Norbert Link: Why Will God Punish America?)

Current Events

We begin with reports about ongoing violent attacks in Germany which will lead to a set-back of Angela Merkel’s briefly regained popularity. Unprecedented violence around the world reflects Satan’s great wrath. More and more terrible murderous attacks against innocent victims are being perpetrated by crazy, mentally demented, demon-possessed and radicalized attackers. On Monday, a knifeman hacked at least 19 people to death in Tokyo in the grounds of the Tsukui Yamayuri Garden to “get rid of disabled people.” On Tuesday, a terror attack on a Catholic priest, nuns and parishioners occurred in France. Please view our new StandingWatch program, titled, “Can Worldwide Terror Be Stopped?”

We continue with extremely controversial statements by Donald Trump, apparently contemplating the possibility of a potential ban on German and French tourists visiting the USA; and speak on another email scandal, leading to the resignation of the head of the Democratic Party; outrage among Bernie Sanders’ supporters; and turmoil at the Democratic Convention.

We continue with the ongoing brutality of Turkey’s crackdown on any opposition; and we conclude with further development in Europe in respect to the Brexit and the increased interest of Chinese buyers in UK’s residential property after the Brexit.

Current Events

We begin with the failed military coup in Turkey; its terrible consequences for the country under the dictatorship of President Erdogan; and the potential rift between Turkey and the USA. You might want to view our new StandingWatch program on this topic, titled, “Turkey in Chaos… What’s Next?”

We report on drastic measures in France, following another terrorist attack in Nice, France; a terror attack on passengers in a train in Germany; governmental pressure to punish ill-defined “hate speech” in Germany; and we address the potential of a space war with nuclear weapons.

We address Britain’s “nuclear deterrent program”; and a strongly worded article by Piers Morgan about the “Black Live Matters” movement.

We continue with UNESCO’s and European antagonism against Israel.

Turning to the USA, we speak on Newt Gingrich’s “proposal” as to how to deal with Muslims who believe in Sharia law; Donald Trump’s surprising and controversial pick of Governor Mike Pence as his running mate; as well as interesting developments at the Republican Convention, including alleged “plagiarism” by Mrs. Trump. During the convention, Donald Trump was officially nominated as the GOP’s Presidential Candidate.

We conclude with some shameful statistics from Germany, pertaining to pre- and extra-marital sexual conduct; and an article on the reconstruction of Noah’s Ark.

This Week in the News

Breaking News:

According to some news reports, Donald Trump allegedly decided to choose controversial Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate. However, in an interview with Fox News on July 14, Trump stated that he had NOT made a “final final” decision. Conservatives have criticized Pence for “flip-flopping on gay marriage and being soft on immigration,” according to Trump supporter Ann Coulter. Pence had also strongly disagreed with Trump on his plan to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the USA.

Trump had planned to announce his decision Friday morning, but tweeted: “In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow’s news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.” 

The Daily Mail reported on July 14 about the attack in France: “At least [77] people are dead and more than 150 injured after they were mown down by a truck in a suspected terror attack during the Bastille Day celebrations in the French city of Nice. Eyewitnesses say there was an exchange of gunfire in the aftermath of the incident… ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to unconfirmed reports in the French media. The gunman jumped out of the truck after ploughing through the pedestrians and began opening fire, witnesses said. Officials said the driver was shot dead near the scene.”

In this issue, we begin with the insane murders of police officers in Dallas; the “Black Lives Matter” movement and the regrettable comments by politicians; and we focus again on the Hillary Clinton email scandal, as more information has come to light. We also report on Donald Trump’s perceived isolation in the world, if he was to become President.

We continue with rapid developments in Britain, including David Cameron’s resignation and Theresa May’s inauguration as the new Prime Minister; focus on the British pound’s decrease in value; and speak on the desire of Europeans to create a core Europe and on European anger with the UK.  

We point out Mr. Hollande’s naïve stance on Russia; Vladimir Putin’s scandalous persecution of religious minorities in Russia; and Poland’s accusations against Ukraine. In this regard, you might want to view our new StandingWatch program, Russia’s Persecution of Minority Christians.” We predict that Vladimir Putin’s die-hard supporters won’t like the program and its German version, “Empörende Christenverfolgung in Russland.” 

We also focus on the resignation of Austria’s chancellor; Germany’s frightening anti-Semitism; and Iran’s ongoing goal to annihilate Israel.

We conclude with interesting findings of a sizable Philistine cemetery; and the phenomenon of the formations of unions and power blocs around the world.

Current Events

We begin with interesting developments in Austria where the presidential election must be repeated, due to irregularities and electoral fraud. New elections are anticipated in September or October. It will be interesting to see whether this time Norbert Hofer from the anti-immigration Freedom Party will secure victory, after he lost in May to Green-backed candidate Alexander Van der Bellen by a mere 0.6 percent of the vote. The new vote for the Austrian Presidency will only be held between Van der Bellen and Hofer.

We continue with Hillary Clinton’s email-scandal. (In this context, please view our new StandingWatch program, “FBI’s Recommendation in Clinton Scandal Suggests Corrupt and Rigged System.”) We start with reporting on a clandestine meeting between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch, while criminal investigations against Hillary Clinton (and by extension, Bill Clinton) were still pending, and the subsequent controversial declarations of Mrs. Lynch, followed by the stunning and incomprehensible announcement by the FBI that in spite of Hillary Clinton’s proven reckless conduct, potentially placing in jeopardy the security of this country, they still do not recommend criminal charges against her. Donald Trump was quick in pointing out quite correctly how rigged our corrupt political system is. House Speaker Paul Ryan tweeted this: “While I respect the professionals at the FBI, this announcement defies explanation. No one should be above the law.”  

As Newsmax reported on July 5, “Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani Tuesday blasted FBI Director [and Obama appointee] James Comey… saying ‘this is the special exemption for the Clintons.’ ‘It would be unreasonable for a prosecutor not to go forward with it and almost an abdication of duty,’ Giuliani [said], who was in office during the 9/11 attacks… ‘What was just laid out is what we would call a no-brainer in the attorney’s office that Jim Comey worked at, he was one of my assistants… The minute you say someone is extremely careless, you are saying they’re grossly negligent,’ he told Fox. ‘What do we mean by gross negligence? We mean extremely careless.’”

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, stated in an interview with Breitbart News: “‘We are in a crisis,’ and Hillary Clinton is a ‘criminal involved in a criminal enterprise’.”

As CNN reported on July 5, even some of Bernie Sanders most die-hard supporters were also extremely upset about the FBI’s recommendations not to indict Hillary Clinton.

One does not have to believe in conspiracy theories to see the incredible development in this case:

First, a private meeting between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch; followed by Mrs. Lynch’s refusal to recuse herself and saying instead that she will abide by the recommendations of the FBI; followed by Hillary Clinton’s lengthy 3 ½ hour interview with eight federal agents on Saturday, being accompanied by at least four attorneys; followed by President Obama’s announcement that he would fly together with Hillary Clinton on Airforce One in order to campaign for her in North Carolina; followed by the publicly announced recommendation by the FBI on Tuesday not to indict Hillary Clinton, while Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were on the plane. And we are to believe that before the FBI’s announcement on Tuesday, nobody “knew” what would be recommended by the FBI? As the New York Post wrote: “The fix was in.” Subsequently, as was to be expected, the Attorney General made it official on Wednesday that the email investigation against Hillary Clinton was closed, and that no charges will be filed against her.

We also report on Donald Trump’s possible running mates and a sharp attack by French President François Hollande against Mr. Trump, while Europe is preparing for its own military empire.

We continue with the concept of “Brexecution”; the European position that Brexit cannot be cancelled; and the growing concept for a Nordic power bloc in competition to the EU.

We speak on ISIS terrorism in Bangladesh and Iraq; and we conclude with transgender mania in the USA and revelations from former Pope Benedict pertaining to the reasons for his resignation.

Current Events

We begin with reports on the last terror attack in Istanbul, Turkey, following Turkey’s announcements regarding improved relationships with Russia and Israel; and we continue with several reports about the situation in Great Britain and continental Europe, following the British referendum to exit from the EU. British politicians from both camps are trying to delay the process, while many Europeans demand speedy action. The divorce between Britain and Europe has been described as messy, ugly and dirty.

At the same time, some continental Europeans are pursuing their vision of Europe, and in the wake of the Brexit vote, a German-French proposal recommends an even tighter “collaboration” and the creation of a United States of Europe, while others seem to be pushing for a European army. Please view our new StandingWatch program on the subject, titled, “No Exit from Brexit”; as well as last week’s program, titled, “Brexit Won—Now What?” 

We continue with a controversial decision of the US Supreme Court regarding abortion and a misleading article, falsely suggesting and complaining about an alleged big change in the US Naturalization procedures.

We quote further upsetting comments by Pope Francis, including his ideas regarding homosexuals, the blessing of weapons, Martin Luther and the Reformation, and the role of Pope Benedict; and we conclude with an eye-opening article, putting to rest the hoax that the Holocaust never happened, while warning of a potential repetition in European architectural design.

Current Events

At the time of publication, final results had not been announced as to whether Britain decided to stay in or leave the EU, but polls suggested that the “remain” camp might have won. If so, it would be only a temporary victory, since the Bible shows that ultimately, Britain will not remain to be a part of the core nations of Europe.

The Telegraph commented: “‘Project Fear’ has succeeded. Brexit campaigners conceded defeat after referendum exit poll.”

But Deutsche Welle wrote: “While two different polls put ‘Remain’ ahead of ‘Leave,’ some of the first results declared in the EU referendum were disappointing to the Remain campaign. Unlike in general elections, there is no exit poll and the referendum’s final result is not expected until Friday morning.”

And the Daily Mail added: “The scale of the divide in Britain over whether we should cut ties with the EU was exposed tonight as results start to roll in in the historic referendum. Sunderland recorded a massive 61 per cent to 39 per cent win for Leave – 82,394 votes to 51,930 – shocking the Remain side which had been voicing confidence about its prospects for victory overall. It was swiftly followed by Swindon which voted out by 10,525 votes – 61,745 to 51,220, although Leave had expected to win by a greater margin. Conversely, Broxbourne voted Leave with more votes than predicted – 33,706 to 17,166… The Pound – which soared in value earlier after Nigel Farage admitted he thought Brexit had lost – immediately nose-dived by nearly 3 per cent against the US dollar.”

According to the broadcaster ITV, Brexit will occur with 75% certainty. 

Subsequently, the Daily Mail added:

“The Brexit door opens! Britain is on track to LEAVE the EU in historic referendum as Out stacks up votes in the North and Wales despite wins for Remain in London and Scotland.”

We begin with the murder of Britain’s Jo Cox and the shameful exploitation of her death by corrupt politicians and the propaganda machine of the mass media; continue with America’s ongoing nuclear program; report on developments pertaining to Donald Trump (including his firing of his campaign manager and an attempt on Trump’s life), as well as strong accusations against the Clintons and the religious affiliation of Barack Obama.

We speak on plans to create a Nordic trading bloc of Israelite countries under British lead; fury over Gibraltar; and Turkey’s Erdogan’s defeat in a German court.

We continue with reports on Pope Francis’ controversial comments on marriage and the death penalty, which contradict official Catholic teaching (please view our new StandingWatch program on this topic, titled, “More Wrong Comments by Pope Francis”); and an interesting article on the return of biblical sheep to the Holy Land which are said to be descended from Jacob’s flock noted in the Book of Genesis.

We conclude with two ludicrous articles by so-called “brilliant” minds about black holes and aliens; as well as gun violence and child rearing.

Current Events

We begin with a frightening article about the absolute and unlimited power of the US President in connection with ordering a nuclear strike on other countries; and continue with the horrible mass murders of at least 49 party-goers in an Orlando gay bar. In particular, we are focusing on the motives of the radicalized and apparently demon-inspired perpetrator; along with reactions from Donald Trump, reiterating “his plan to temporarily ban Muslims and others from countries with terrorist ties from entering the U.S.,” while strongly accusing President Obama and Hillary Clinton of “failed policies,” allegedly “insinuating that the president may sympathize with radical jihadism,” and claiming at the same time that he–and not Hillary Clinton—was a true friend of the gay community.

The horrible violent act in Orlando must be strongly condemned by every true Christian. At the same time, we are publishing comments by a former French Chief Rabbi, calling Tel Aviv’s gay parade an abomination. These comments were made before the mass murder in Florida. Jewish gay organizations promptly responded to those comments by suggesting that the former Chief Rabbi was inciting violence against gays, even though he just quoted Holy Scriptures. We also report on a controversial interview by CNN’s openly gay Anderson Cooper; and Prince William’s posing for the cover of a gay magazine.

Satan is extremely clever and cunning. By inspiring an insane terrorist to murder and injure in excess of hundred members of the gay community, he is causing sympathy for homosexuality in Western societies, inducing them to accept, embrace and support the gay lifestyle, and to accuse all those of hate speech and even culpability for senseless murders who dare to maintain biblical standards, even though these standards also include the strong condemnation of violence against ANY human being. In this regard, please view our new StandingWatch program, titled, “Satan’s Attack in Orlando.”

We continue with developments in Italy and Germany pertaining to Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”; an article about the violent consequences of false Christianity; Pope Francis’ refusal to accept a donation from the Argentinian Presidency, due to the number 666; the deteriorating relationship between NATO and Russia; a new Ukrainian hero who is described as “Ukraine’s Joan of Arc”; and the increasing possibility of a Brexit, following the referendum on June 23.

We speak on the desire of many Germans for a Führer and other interesting positions; and we conclude with an article about the yearning of many Jews for the rebuilding of the Third Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

Current Events

We begin with the surprising announcement by German President Gauck that he will not run for re-election, causing further potential problems for Chancellor Angela Merkel and her government.

We report on the planned ISIS attack in Düsseldorf, Germany, which would have been much bigger than originally thought; and focus on strong comments by Germany’s anti-immigration party, the AfD. We also report on the true scale of Germany’s migrant crisis.

We continue with the ongoing troubles between Germany and Turkey; the legal challenge of Austria’s recent presidential election results; news regarding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, with a strongly worded article, asking whether the Obama Administration is guilty of war crimes; and Europe’s relationship with Britain in view of a possible Brexit. In this context, please view our new StandingWatch program, titled, “What if Britain Leaves Europe?”.

We speak on China’s suppression of Ramadan celebrations; Poland’s paramilitary force to counter Russia; Russia’s “effective, advanced” submarines; rewards from the Philippine government for intentionally killing criminals, rather than arresting them; and legally permitted assisted suicide in Canada and other countries.

We conclude with Jewish acceptance of transgender and homosexual rights; and the Catholic Church’s fascination with the Virgin Mary.
