The Emergency Department of the Ministry of Justice has issued a directive to its employees, urging them to ready themselves for an imminent conflict in the northern region, expected to impact the electricity infrastructure.
The letter advises, "It is prudent to anticipate several days of nationwide blackout due to the potential of a Northern war." Furthermore, "The National Emergency Authority has mandated government ministries to brace for substantial infrastructure damage and a 'national blackout,' wherein a minimum of 60 percent of the population could be without electricity for a duration ranging from 24 to 48 hours, with certain areas potentially enduring up to 72 hours."

- Abba, your people Israel need your help! The enemy is using Hezbollah to create yet another war front that needs to be protected. We ask Holy Spirit and legions of warrior angels to be dispatched even now to defend and protect all people and infrastructure with special focus on the power grid.. We ask for confusion to be spread in the enemy camp so all decisions made will backfire on Hezbollah and all military options fall short of what was planned. We ask for the confusion to breed distrust within their military leadership ending their ability to work cohesively. We ask this in the name Jehovah Sabaoth, The Host of Heaven's Armies.
- "But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let the ever sign for joy.
Spread your protection over them, that those
who love your name may rejoice in you."

Biden says he's decided on response to Iranian-backed militia attack that killed 3 US soldiers in Jordan
|
|
President Biden on Tuesday indicated he had decided on how to respond after three U.S. soldiers were killed in a drone attack that his administration has blamed on Iran-backed militia groups.
Speaking to reporters at the White House before leaving for a campaign event in Florida, the president said yes when asked if he had decided on a response, but he did not offer any details.
The president said he holds Iran responsible because they supplied the weapons to the people who perpetrated the attack, but he also noted that he does not wish to escalate tensions with the Islamic Republic.
"I don’t think we need a wider war in the Middle East," he said. "That’s not what I’m looking for."
U.S. officials said they are still determining which of several Iran-backed groups was responsible for the first killing of American troops in a wave of attacks against U.S. forces in the region since the Oct. 7 Hamas assault on Israel.
It was not immediately clear whether Biden meant he had decided on a specific retaliatory plan. Other administration officials have offered few details on any such response. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Abba, our hearts grieve for the 3 US soldiers killed in Jordan. We pray for your presence to cover the families, protect their hearts, bring them peace.
Father God, we ask your guidance in the implementation of the response chosen by the Biden regime. We ask the actions taken will be as you intend, no more, no less, that they will accomplish exactly what you know is needed without escalating the conflict. We plead the blood of Jesus over all US territory and personal in the Middle East. We ask for wisdom and knowledge as our military leaders continue to walk this out. Jesus, we ask for an end to this war. We ask this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all.
- "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,
who gives generously to all without finding
fault, and it will be given to you."
(James 1:5)

Chinese cyber attacks are intended to 'induce societal panic' across America, security directors tell Congress
|
|
|
Director Easterly said Chinese cyber attacks on critical systems are intended to 'induce societal panic'
|
|
China’s strategic plan to infiltrate the U.S. cyber infrastructure includes attempts to induce panic and unsettle everyday American life, a witness testified to Congress on Wednesday.
Jen Easterly, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, told the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that ransomware attacks on U.S. businesses or critical systems are intended to "induce societal panic."
"It is Chinese military doctrine to attempt to induce societal panic in their adversary. And arguably, the Chinese government got a little bit of a taste of this in the aftermath of the ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline in May of 2021 that shut down gas to the Eastern seaboard for several days," she said, noting Americans "couldn't get to work. They couldn't take their kids to school, get folks to the hospital. It caused a bit of panic."
"Now imagine that on a massive scale. Imagine not one pipeline, but many pipelines disrupted and telecommunications going down so people can't use their cell phone. People start getting sick from polluted water. Trains get derailed. Air traffic control system, port control systems are malfunctioning," Easterly continued. "This is truly an everything, everywhere all at once scenario." (Fox News) Read more

- Abba, today Jen Easterly, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, told the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that ransomware attacks on U.S. businesses or critical systems are intended to "induce societal panic." Lord, you are the creator of the internet and you are able to protect it from anything the CCP would use to bring it down. We decree and declare that nothing formed against the US internet web will prosper, in Jesus' name.
We speak a disruptive whirlwind into all CCP internet connections to the US government, TicToc, Facebook, Twitter and all other internet providers and users in the US in Jesus' name. By the Sword of the Spirit we disconnect every linkage that has been set up in darkness, we declare they are broken and unfixable, in Jesus' name. We ask this in the name Jehovah, the Lord who is present, accessible, and near to those who call on him for deliverance.
- "You are my hiding place; you will
protect me from trouble and
surround me with songs of deliverance."

2. Netanyahu said to tell hostages’ families he won’t OK deal that harms Israel’s security - Times of Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday told families of those held hostage by the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip that he would not agree to a deal to release the captives if it posed a threat to Israel’s security. However, he also reassured them that political considerations would not stand in the way of a possible agreement, according to a Hebrew media report.
The meeting took place amid a flurry of reports on a potential deal being examined by Israel and Hamas to free the hostages.
Channel 12 news said Wednesday evening that Mossad spy agency chief David Barnea presented the main principles of the nascent deal to ministers in the war cabinet, including the idea of a 35-day truce during which 35 women, sick, injured, and elderly hostages would be released. (Read more)

3. Lapid vows to help pass deal if gov't short of votes - Israel Hayom
A far-right partner in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition threatened on Tuesday to quit the government over any attempt to enter a "reckless" deal with Hamas to retrieve hostages held by the Palestinian terrorists, prompting centrist leader of the parliamentary Opposition and former Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who did not join the unity war cabinet, to announce he would agree to enter the gov't to ensure that it passes a deal if it needed the votes.
"Reckless deal = dismantling of the government," Itamar Ben-Gvir of the Otzma Yehudit party posted on X, amid media reports that Israel was considering a long-term pause, brokered by Qatar and Egypt, to its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The conservative Netanyahu has stressed his commitment to destroying Hamas, whose Oct. 7 cross-border killing and kidnapping spree blindsided Israel, and argues that the military pressure improves the chances of recovering the 132 hostages. (Read more)

4. Jewish Graves Found in Gaza From WWI Fighting - Algemeiner
Soldiers in the IDF’s 188th Brigade were surprised to find Jewish gravestones during fighting in the Gaza Strip. According to reports in Hebrew media, the soldiers were operating in the central Gaza town of Al-Maazi when they noticed stars of David on some of the tombstones at a cemetery in the town.
The cemetery, it turned out, was one of the fallen British soldiers of World War I who fought in the land of Israel against the Ottoman Empire some 110 years ago. The photos of the gravesite holding an Israeli flag went viral on social media due to the irony of the situation. One of the soldiers there, Lt. Col. Oren, told Hebrew media “It was damaged a bit in the battles, but it can be restored. We noticed the stars of David on the tombstones and names like Goldreich. We returned after a few days to the place and said Kaddish on the graves after many years.” The kaddish prayer is one typically said by Jews to honor the dead.
According to the troops, there are seven Jewish tombstones in the cemetery that was found near a Hamas weapons cache. Oren added “We also found there, next to the cemetery, a cache for the production of many weapons. We did not check if there was an underground tunnel under the cemetery because we did not want to harm its sanctity. In other cemeteries, we located combat tunnels that Hamas had built underneath. We were amazed that we found such a pure place in this cursed area.” (Read more)

5. Explosive device found at Israeli embassy in Sweden - World Israel News
On Wednesday, an explosive device was discovered close to Israel’s embassy in Sweden, the Swedish public broadcaster SVTreports.
The device was immediately destroyed by Stockholm’s bomb squad and the incident was declared as “an attempted terror attack” by Israel’s ambassador to Sweden Ziv Nevo Kulman.
Embassy staff said they noticed the object on the grounds surrounding the building and when the police arrived on the scene, they denotated it in a secure and controlled manner.
Although Swedish police didn’t describe the object, the Aftonbladet Swedish daily said it was a grenade that was thrown over the embassy fence onto the grounds. (Read more)

1. Oregon Democrats move to undo key part of drug decriminalization law - The Guardian
Democratic lawmakers in Oregon on Tuesday announced a sweeping new bill that would undo a key part of the state’s first-in-the-nation drug decriminalization law, a recognition that public opinion has soured on the measure amid rising public drug use during the fentanyl crisis.
The bill would recriminalize the possession of small amounts of drugs as a low-level misdemeanor, enabling police to confiscate them and crack down on their use on sidewalks and in parks, its authors said. It also aims to make it easier to prosecute dealers, to access addiction treatment medication, and to obtain and keep housing without facing discrimination for using that medication.
Voters passed the pioneering decriminalization law, measure 110, with 58% support in 2020. But Democratic legislators who championed it as a way to treat addiction as a public health matter, not a crime, are now contending with one of the nation’s largest spikes in overdose deaths, along with intensifying pressure from Republicans and growing calls from a well-funded campaign group to overhaul it.

2. Religious 'Nones' Are Now Largest Group in the US - CBN
More Americans than ever before are checking “none of the above” when asked about their religion. The rise of the so-called “nones” — that is, those who don’t hold to any particular religious affiliation — has increased precipitously over the last several years, according to new data from the Pew Research Center.
Most of the “nones” said they were raised in Christian homes.
The religious “nones” are also overwhelmingly young, with 69% being under 50 years old, and largely white at 63%.
A majority of the 3,317 “nones” surveyed said they still believe in “God” — but not “as described in the Bible” — or some form of a “higher power.” Half of the religiously unaffiliated said they consider themselves “spiritual,” while 29% rejected entirely the idea that there is “any higher power or spiritual force in the universe.”
It’s important to note “nones” only usurp those who believe in God when American believers are split into two separate evangelical Protestant (24%) and Catholic (23%) groups. (Read more)

It is not an organized religion, or a religion of dead works, but we are believers in a living God, who is a God of miracles, signs and wonders. Help us Lord be an accurate representation of your love, and your power and your authority on this earth, that will compel people to come into repentance in Jesus name amen.

3. CNN Data Reporter Harry Enten Says Key Dem Demographic Trending ‘Toward Donald Trump’ - The Daily Caller
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said Wednesday that union workers — who are reliably democratic — are trending more toward former President Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden finally received the endorsement of the United Autoworkers Union (UAW) in late January after some tension. UAW President Shawn Fain said, prior to the endorsement, that the union had not decided who it would endorse despite Biden showing strong support for the union during its six-week-long strike.
But union workers may not be reliably Democrat anymore. Enten said while the belief has always been the union vote goes Democratic, data from key swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin show Trump in a dead heat with Biden. (Read more)

4. Three Former ICE Officials Running For Congress Highlight Need For Action On Border - The Daily Caller
Three former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are running for Congress to change the way Washington handles immigration enforcement and government spending.
Ron Vitiello, former acting ICE director during the Trump Administration; John Fabbricatore, former ICE Field Office Director; and Victor Avila, retired special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, want to bring their federal law enforcement experience dealing with cartels and criminals to Washington, where they hope to fix the immigration system, they told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
All three cited the illegal immigration surge that’s occurred under the Biden Administration as a problem that needs solutions. In fiscal year 2022, Border Patrol recorded more than 2.2 million migrant encounters at the southern border, according to federal data. The following fiscal year, agents recorded more than 2 million encounters. (Read more)

5. John Podesta to get new role at the White House - Washington Post
President Biden will tap senior adviser John D. Podesta to replace outgoing U.S. special climate envoy John F. Kerry once Kerry steps down this spring, Podesta and other White House officials confirmed to The Washington Post on Wednesday.
Podesta, now a senior adviser on clean energy and a veteran Democratic strategist, will remain at the White House rather than move to the State Department in his new role, which has not previously been reported. His new title will be senior adviser to the president for international climate policy.
Podesta now oversees implementation of Biden’s signature climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act. The law devoted billions of dollars to accelerating the nation’s transition to wind, solar and other sources of clean energy. Podesta also played a critical role in brokering the 2015 Paris climate agreement as a counselor to President Barack Obama, and helped steer President Bill Clinton’s environmental policies while serving as White House chief of staff.

6. Judge dismisses Disney’s lawsuit alleging retaliation by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis - CNBC News
A judge on Wednesday dismissed a federal lawsuit Disney filed against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other defendants that alleged they retaliated against the company for publicly criticizing a controversial parental rights education law backed by the governor.
Judge Allen Winsor ruled that Disney lacked legal standing to sue DeSantis and the secretary of Florida’s Commerce Department on a claim of violating its First Amendment rights.
Winsor also ruled that Disney’s claims “fail on the merits” against members of the board of a special improvement district in which the company operates its parks and resort.
The judge on that point cited federal appeals court rulings which hold that when a law is constitutional on its face, a plaintiff cannot sue on free-speech grounds “by claiming that the lawmakers who passed it acted with a constitutionally impermissible purpose.” (Read more)

- Lord God, we thank you for this righteous decision by this judge to uphold the morals and values of Florida and families there. We pray that Florida would continue to stand for truth and righteousness, and set an example to all other states of how states should be run. We pray that every state would be inspired to stand up for the rights of children, families and proper education for children in Jesus name amen.

7. Zuckerberg apologizes to families of kids harmed online as Senate grills tech CEOs - ABC News
The chief executives of the nation's top social media companies were grilled on Wednesday on Capitol Hill over child safety, with the tech leaders seeking to defend their companies from accusations that they've failed to protect kids from exploitation and abuse.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, you and the companies before us -- I know you don't mean it to be so, but you have blood on your hands," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said as the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing kicked off. The comment prompted applause from families gathered in the hearing room whose children died after being ensnared in some of the darker sides of their platforms.
"You have a product that's killing people," Graham added.
The CEO of Meta, the parent company of both Facebook and Instagram, then stood up and turned around to address parents.
"It's terrible. No one should have to go through the things that your families have suffered," Zuckerberg told them. "And this is why we invest so much and are going to continue doing industry-leading efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the things your families have had to suffer." (Read more)

We pray Lord that Congress would have discernment and wisdom on how to handle this situation and bring integrity and honesty back to our social media platforms in Jesus name amen.

8. Trump civil fraud penalty to be announced as New York AG seeks $370 million fine, business ban - Just The News
New York Judge Arthur Engoron may announce the penalties against former President Donald Trump as soon as Wednesday in the civil fraud case brought by New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James, who is asking the court to fine the former president more than $370 million and ban him and his two eldest sons from serving as officials of any business in the state.
Engoron already ruled in September that Trump could be held liable for inflating his assets for years to secure better terms for loans and insurance. After the monthslong trial on damages concluded nearly three weeks ago, Engoran said he planned to issue a full decision in the case by Jan. 31.
Trump's sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, may potentially escape the lifetime business ban. Engoron indicated skepticism at the trial regarding whether the two sons were responsible for conspiracy and intent to defraud, even though he already found them both liable for fraud in his September ruling.

Stupidocrisy: Hiding In Plain Sight
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, January 31, 2024
We are living in an era where we are being told one thing but the opposite is true. Think about some of the hard core stances made by corporate media and the government that are now proven to be false. The COVID mRNA shots are both safe and reliable. There was no evidence of voter integrity issues. The Jan 6 protest was an insurrection. The US border is secure. The Hunter Biden laptop story is fake news. Joe Biden never took money from the Chinese. Climate change is the reason behind massive worldwide migration. Free speech must be protected from misinformation. If you don’t believe this weaponized propaganda, you and people like you are threats to democracy, especially if you are a Christian.
This type of pressure is called soft tyranny. It’s a constant pressure. One that most people can’t quite come to grips with it in their minds. They feel the heaviness, the restrictions, the hesitation to say what they are thinking for fear of reprisal in some way, shape or form. There are people who have put words to this phenomena. One is Jeffrey A Tucker, president of the Brownstone Institute, who in a column for Epoch News says of the Left, “Their only hope at this point is to hold onto power through any means possible. It’s they who don’t believe in democracy. Indeed they fear it more than ever, and in every respect. They are against it in politics but also in economics, education, culture, and media. Democracy means competition and consumer choice whereas they want cartel-based control.” Read More

How the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Is Different
than the 2017 Eclipse
|
|
|
On April 8, the Moon’s shadow will sweep across the United States, as millions will view a total solar eclipse. For many, preparing for this event brings memories of the magnificent total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017.
In 2017, an estimated 215 million U.S. adults (88% of U.S. adults) viewed the solar eclipse, either directly or electronically. They experienced the Moon pass in front of the Sun, blocking part or all of our closest star’s bright face. The eclipse in 2024 could be even more exciting due to differences in the path, timing, and scientific research.
Wider, More Populated Path
The path of totality – where viewers can see the Moon totally block the Sun, revealing the star’s outer atmosphere, called the corona – is much wider during the upcoming total solar eclipse than it was during the eclipse in 2017. As the Moon orbits Earth, its distance from our planet varies. During the 2017 total solar eclipse, the Moon was a little bit farther away from Earth than it will be during upcoming total solar eclipse, causing the path of that eclipse to be a little skinnier. In 2017, the path ranged from about 62 to 71 miles wide. During the April eclipse, the path over North America will range between 108 and 122 miles wide – meaning at any given moment, this eclipse covers more ground.
The 2024 eclipse path will also pass over more cities and densely populated areas than the 2017 path did. This will make it easier for more people to see totality. An estimated 31.6 million people live in the path of totality this year, compared to 12 million in 2017. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path of totality. Read More

'America Needs God':
Lawmakers Join Evangelical Leaders in Repentance
|
|
Intercessors around the world gathered for a day of prayer on Wednesday, January 31st, to "pray prayers of serious repentance" for America. The National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance took place at the Museum of the Bible and was being livestreamed from 7:30 a.m. EST to 1 p.m. House Speaker Mike Johnson, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, and Rabbi Jonathan Cahn were among several speakers at the event, including numerous members of Congress and members of Parliament from various nations, along with evangelical leaders and intercessors. These leaders were called to "pray prayers of serious repentance for (1) personal sins, (2) sin in the church and (3) America's sins, followed by praying for the Nations," explains the National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance website. Dr. Jim Garlow and Tony Perkins, founder of the Family Research Council, are the co-founders of the prayer event.
Garlow explained that the event is not about man's performance, but glorifying God. "The prayers are about repentance. For personal sins. For sin in the church. For America's sins. We focus on the vertical, that is, God. We don't applaud for people. We only applaud for God…at the end. We don't have speeches or sermons, except designated persons to call us to serious repentance. We don't even introduce people," he said. "The spotlight is on God. People lead in prayer. To Him. For one minute. Sincere heartfelt prayer. Intense prayer. As if the nation depends on it. Because it does," Garlow added.
Perkins believes it is imperative for America's future that believers pray. "Our nation needs God. Now. Our Founding Fathers understood that our strength and unity were found in our commitment to Him and to His righteousness. We think America is strong, yet a long train of events reveals weakness on every front and historic level of division. We assume America will always be. It will not," Perkins expressed. He added, "America needs God. While some may refuse to accept that reality, we readily acknowledge that America truly does need God...We invite you to join us on January 31 in the spirit of humility, brokenness, contriteness, and repentance."

- Father, we PRAISE Your Name as King of kings and Lord of lords over America and Israel! We pray that every prayer lifted to You at 'The National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance' was received as a sweet fragrant offering before Your Throne of Grace. May the lawmakers who repented before the world be empowered by Your Holy Spirit to stand with a new boldness and courage to lead our government in the righteous ways of the Lord. May the cries of the young adults in desperate repentance, on behalf of sins among their generation, bring a blood-cleansing over America and a return of all prodigals back to Almighty God! We declare, in Jesus Name, that broken hearts of repentance will spread across America and a strong stance for God's righteousness will bring miraculous Holy Spirit transformation from coast to coast!- In the powerful Name of El Shaddai- Amen.
