THIS is socialism: Venezuelan children are STARVING to death as food must now be delivered under armed guard

All of the various economic models employed by dictators, thugs, and autocratic rulers worldwide have produced nothing but misery, hardship, and death, yet far too many American Millennials are supportive and even fascinated by them.

They are, in no particular order, communism, Marxism, and socialism.

Communism, as practiced by the Soviet Union, was ultimately responsible for its demise.

Chinese Ships Spotted Illegally Selling Oil to North Korea by U.S. Spy Satellite

U.S. spy satellites have captured images of Chinese ships illegally selling oil to North Korea vessels on the West Sea 30 times in the past three months, according to a South Korean newspaper.

Ship-to-ship trades with North Korea on the high seas are forbidden under United Nations sanctions adopted in September. The U.S. Treasury Department also placed six North Korean shipping companies on a sanctions list on November 21.

But according to South Korea’s The Chosun Ilbo, satellites have captured large Chinese and North Korean ships gathering side by side and trading oil. The high-quality spy satellites even show the names of the vessels.

Breaking: Obama Appointed Tech CEO To High-Power Military Position

Last year, the administration of then-President Barack Obama set up a Pentagon advisory board and placed the chairman of Google’s parent company at its helm. Roughly one year into President Donald Trump’s tenure, that man still remains at this coveted position.

Launched in 2016 by then-Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, the so-called Defense Innovation Advisory Board was designed “to kick-start innovation across the U.S. military by building bridges to the technology industry,” according to Reuters.

The basic premise was that perhaps the Pentagon’s technological prowess could be enhanced if a bunch of pompous techies were to advise it. Wonderful.

Pope Francis: Satan’s Been Misunderstood, Let’s Give Him A Chance

Pope Francis recently declared Satan as the real God during a ceremony with Pope John Paul the 1st and Pope John Paul the 2nd.There have been lots of Youtube videos which claim that the Pope including a group of Catholics, including many Cardinals, are actually citing a prayer that clearly uses the word 'Lucifer'.

TURKEY'S ERDOGAN THREATENS TO WIPE OUT JEWS

President Obama praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as “a man of action” and one of the five world leaders with whom he had the strongest bond. President Trump met with him at the White House last spring.

And certainly Erdogan has tried to portray himself to Western leaders as a pragmatist with whom they can work.

Russia Sharply Expanding Nuclear Arsenal, Upgrading Underground Facilities

Russia is aggressively building up its nuclear forces and is expected to deploy a total force of 8,000 warheads by 2026 along with modernizing deep underground bunkers, according to Pentagon officials.

The 8,000 warheads will include both large strategic warheads and thousands of new low-yield and very low-yield warheads to circumvent arms treaty limits and support Moscow's new doctrine of using nuclear arms early in any conflict.

Switzerland Is Well-Prepared For Civilizational Collapse

All around Switzerland, for example, one can find thousands of water fountains fed by natural springs. Zurich is famous for its 1200 fountains, some of them quite beautiful and ornate, but it’s the multiple small, simple fountains in every Swiss village that really tell the story. Elegant, yes, but if and when central water systems are destroyed these fountains are a decentralized and robust system for providing everyone with drinkable water.

Earth's mysterious hum recorded underwater for 1st time

Far from the blaring cacophony of cities, towns and suburbs, there are far quieter soundtracks to be found -- the murmurs of wind rustling grasses, rushing waves tumbling onto beaches, the creaking of tree branches and trunks.

But underneath all that is yet another soundscape, a permanent, low-frequency drone produced by Earth itself, from the vibrations of ongoing, subtle seismic movements that are not earthquakes and are too small to be detected without special equipment.

IS THE FLU SHOT AN IQ TEST TO ELIMINATE STUPID PEOPLE?

Is the flu shot a nationwide IQ test or experiment being run by globalists to “thin the herd” and eliminate people who are stupid enough to line up for flu shots? One YouTube channel has tackled this very issue, and their take on it is extremely unnerving.

The Health Ranger uploaded a video back in March of 2017 that goes into detail about those willing to get the flu shot. With this year’s flu shot boasting a whopping 10% effective rate, it sure seems like those gung-ho for it are incapable of even minute amounts of research. And coupled with that low rate of efficacy, doctors and those in the media are still saying that you should go get the shot. So what gives?

Messianic Trump-Cyrus Connection Revealed Through Hebrew Numerology, Bible Codes

Connections between the US president and Persian King Cyrus, recently strengthened by President Donald Trump’s landmark speech acknowledging Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel, have deep roots in Bible Codes and Biblical numerology which link both men to the coming of the Messiah.

President Trump is similar to Cyrus in a number of observable ways, rabbis and commentators have noted. Though separated by 2,500 years, both men rule the greatest nation of their respective eras. Cyrus, like Trump, was powerful and rich but not at all devout. And like Cyrus, Trump supports Jewish national aspirations. Now, a Messianic connection has come to light.

Google is ‘Summoning the Demon,’ Preparing the Way Towards ‘Artificial God’

Google is setting the path towards a future dictated by artificial intelligence and has gone so far as to produce engineers dedicated to creating an “artificial god.” In addition, engineers at Google, Facebook, and the whole of Silicon Valley have failed to realize the potential consequences of their actions.

The latest prediction to surface from the tech world is that within as little as five years, artificial intelligence will further wipe away countless jobs from the job market. The study, produced by Redwood Software and Sapio Research, and released on October 4th revealed that IT leaders believe automation could impact 60% of businesses by 2022 and threaten jobs in the process. Also, the second biggest firm in the world, PWC, released a report suggesting a similar timeline; one in which people may need to practice and learn new skills — or be left behind as automation takes over.

President Trump Confirms Blooming of Fig Tree

Then, he told them about the Parable of the Fig Tree.

They learned that the generation alive during the End Times would witness the budding of the Fig Tree, and that Fig Tree would bloom, putting forth it’s leaves.

Israel is the “fig tree”.

The Fig Tree began to bud on May 14, 1948. The blooming of the Fig Tree was in full force in 1967 after The Six Day War when Jerusalem was finally added to Israel’s interior. The generation that saw both of these things is still with us. But, they are in their last days.

The measure will need a handful of Democrats' support to pass the Senate.

US OFFICIALS WARN TRUMP NOT TO CALL JERUSALEM ISRAEL'S CAPITAL

The possibility that US President Donald Trump may recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital has stirred opposition from US and foreign officials who fear it could unleash violence. Such a decision, which US officials have said has not been finalized, would violate decades of US policy not to take a stance on the fate of Jerusalem on the grounds that this was an issue Israelis and Palestinians should negotiate and decide.

TURKEY'S ERDOGAN THREATENS CUTTING TIES WITH ISRAEL OVER JERUSALEM ISSUE

President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday Turkey could go as far as breaking off diplomatic ties with Israel if the United States formally recognizes Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, a move he said would be a “red line” for Muslims. Erdogan is the latest in a string of regional leaders, including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan’s King Hussein to warn of negative implications of the move.
