TODAY'S TOP STORY
US Believes Russia may soon launch cyberattacks against critical infrastructure
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is warning of an imminent cyber threat against American companies and government agencies because Russia may soon launch attacks against critical U.S. infrastructure, a national security source told Fox News. 

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a warning last week that "[e]very organization in the United States is at risk from cyber threats that can disrupt essential services and potentially result in impacts to public safety." 

It told companies and organizations in the U.S. that they should immediately take steps to protect against a cyberattack, specifically citing recent malware attacks against Ukraine.
 
The national security source confirmed to Fox News Tuesday that the warning was issued specifically because of a threat from Russia. The source said it's widely believed in the national security community that Russia plans to launch cyberattacks, potentially against critical U.S. infrastructure. 
 
The warnings come as Russia is amassing its military along the Ukraine border with the apparent intent of invading the country. The U.S. and other Western nations have expressed support for Ukraine and sent aid, including weapons. 

The United States is also considering sending thousands of additional troops to other Baltic and Eastern European countries to deter Russia. But it is not expected American troops would enter Ukraine, where they could be at risk of coming into contact with Russian forces.
 
Cyberattacks have the potential to have serious real-world consequences. Last year, the Russia-linked ransomware group REvil attacked key U.S. meat producer JBS, forcing it to shut down all of its meat plants. (Fox News) Read more
- Father God, we pray that, by Your great power, You will come down from heaven and hold back the Russians from attacking our American infrastructure. Lord, by Your all-powerful force,  we ask You to defeat every satanic evil plan that is causing Russia to come against America.  In the almighty powerful Name of Jesus we ask these requests, amen.

- "But the Lord is with America as a mighty terrible One; therefore our persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed, for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten."       (Jeremiah 20:11)  
FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Israeli observers see Russia-Syria flights as sign of aspiring Putin hegemony, allegiance to Assad - JNS

(January 26, 2022 / JNS) A Russian Defense Ministry announcement on Monday regarding joint Russian and Syrian air-force patrol missions along the Golan Heights—in southern Syria near Israel and over the Euphrates River in northern Syria—represents significant messaging from Moscow over its intentions, Israeli observers have said.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Russian jets took off from Hmeimim (Khmeimim) Airbase near Latakia on the Syrian western coastline and were joined by Syrian jets taking off from bases outside Damascus. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an agreement in 2017 with President Bashar Assad of Syria giving the Russian military access Hmeimim Airbase for an additional 50 years.

Brig. Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, former head of the Israel Defense Forces’ Military Intelligence Directorate’s Research Division, told JNS that assuming the joint flights occurred, they represent a route tracing Syria’s borders and that this “is a message that sharpens the Assad regime’s sovereignty over the area once called Syria.” (Read more)  

2. Bennett to ‘Post’: Israel will continue its strategy to stop Iran even if there’s a deal - Jerusalem Post

Israel will follow its strategy to combat Iranian aggression regardless of whether world powers reach an agreement with the Islamic Republic in the negotiations in Vienna, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in an interview with The Jerusalem Post this week that appears in full on page 13.

“The Israeli strategy doesn’t depend on whether there’s an agreement or not,” Bennett stated. “We will protect ourselves by ourselves. Even if there is an agreement, we’re not committed to it. We will preserve our freedom to act.”

Bennett spoke as talks continue with Iran to return to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. “We and the Americans don’t see everything eye to eye,” said Bennett, speaking out against easing sanctions on Iran. (Read more)  

3. Snowballs hiding rocks: Jews attacked in Jerusalem - Israel National News

A couple who just wanted to enjoy the winter wonderland Jerusalem temporarily became in them wake of Winter Storm Plpis were attacked by a group of stone-throwing Arabs at the Armon Hanatziv Promenade on Thursday.

Gila Kadosh said that when she and her husband David arrived at the promenade, they noticed a large group of Arabs throwing snow-covered stones at Jewish vehicles. One of the stones hit their vehicle. Her husband immediately exited the vehicle and demanded that they stop, but they laughed and made fun of him. They met another couple who was at the scene and had also encountered the ambush and documented the rioters on camera.

"We felt very threatened and my husband suggested we drive back home, but when we started driving they threw stones at us from all directions, smashed the windshield, broke the front mirrors and a large stone shattered the rear window," she said.

She said that similar incidents started last night and so far the capital police have not been able to stop the phenomenon.

"Where are the police? Where are the Border Police?" she asks, wondering how it is possible that in the that such an attack could take place in the heart of Jerusalem without a police response. (Read more) 

4. Israel, NASA Set to Cooperate on Space Programs Centered Around Mars, Moon -Algemeiner

JNS.org – Israel and NASA are set to cooperate on the joint study of space, the moon and Mars, according to a report in recent days by EurAsian Times.

Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said the Jewish state will be a part of the Artemis Accords to boost cooperation in space-related trade, economics and industries among various country signatories.

According to NASA’s website, through Artemis “NASA aims to land the first woman and first person of color on the moon, heralding a new era for space exploration and utilization.”

It added that “international partnerships will play a key role in achieving a sustainable and robust presence on the moon while preparing to conduct a historic human mission to Mars.” (Read more) 

5. British Jews Unmoved by the BBC’s So-Called ‘Apology’ - United with Israel

The BBC published the results Wednesday of an internal review of its reporting on an antisemitic attack in London last November, with its findings barely qualifying as an apology. British Jews were left infuriated.

Meanwhile, the UK media regulatory body, Ofcom, confirmed to the Jewish Chronicle it is launching its own investigation into the coverage.

The BBC has been embroiled in controversy since Chanukah over its coverage of an antisemitic attack on a London bus carrying Jewish children celebrating the holiday. On Oxford Street in the heart of downtown London, they were harassed by young men shouting “Free Palestine,” making Nazi salutes, spitting at the windows, banging on the windows and making profane gestures. (Read more)

6. Israeli researchers: Iran nuclear breakout could occur ‘within a space of weeks,’ regional cooperation necessary - JNS.org
 

Israel faces threats like no other country—among them an Iranian regime developing nuclear weapons and supplying proxies such as Hezbollah with hundreds of thousands of rockets. The terrorists behind these threats view Israel’s destruction as the only solution to their problems.

The current, ongoing negotiations in Vienna between the United States, and European countries and Iran over the latter’s return to the 2015 nuclear deal officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), hit a new snag this week as three American negotiators quit, allegedly over U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley’s soft approach to Iran’s belligerence.

While people like Malley appear to be untroubled by the idea of a nuclear Iran, Israel remains worried. Efraim Inbar, president of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, told JNS that an Iranian nuclear breakout could occur in a span of time as short as “about a month,” according to reports based on governmental sources in the United States and Israel.

A new report by the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) concludes in a similar assessment that Iran “already has the capabilities required for a breakout to a nuclear weapon within a space of weeks.” (Read more)

The Daily Brief
1. Pro-life, pro-abortion groups react to Breyer's retirement: 'The stakes have never been higher' - Christian Post

Activists on both sides of the abortion debate have reacted to news that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire at the end of the court’s term, warning that the “stakes have never been higher.” First appointed to the nation’s high court in 1994 by President Bill Clinton, the 83-year-old is the oldest justice on the bench and the longest-serving of the court’s three liberals.

News of his impending retirement, reported by NBC News Wednesday, comes as Democrats have a narrow 50-50 majority in the U.S. Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote in favor of Democrats. The forthcoming vacancy gives President Joe Biden his first opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court justice since taking office last year. 

Additionally, the news of Breyer’s decision to retire is breaking as the Supreme Court is expected to make a ruling in the major abortion case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization before the end of its current term. With abortion being a hot-button issue that frequently finds itself in front of the court, Breyer had authored recent Supreme Court opinions that struck down pro-life laws in Louisiana and Texas.

The anticipated replacement of Breyer with another liberal justice appointed by a Democratic president will not change the balance of the court, which consists of three justices appointed by Democrats and six justices appointed by Republicans. 

Franklin Graham, the son of the late evangelist Billy Graham and leader of the evangelical humanitarian organization Samaritan’s Purse, urged his followers to “pray for the next nominee. We need someone who fears God — and who supports and protects the U.S. Constitution,” the pro-life evangelist stated in a tweet. (Read more) 

- Father God, we agree with the words of Franklin Graham. We ask that a man or woman be seated in the Supreme Court who fears You, O Lord. We ask for a miracle.

- "Nothing is too difficult for thee!" (Jer. 24:17) 

2.  Ukraine crisis: Nord Stream 2 pipeline could be axed, US warns - BBC

The US has threatened to halt the opening of a key pipeline that would send Russian gas to Western Europe, if Russia invades Ukraine. Nord Stream 2 would run from Russia to Germany, and on Thursday officials in Berlin said the project could face sanctions if Russia attacks.

Western allies say they will target Russia's economy if it invades, and the latest comments signal a hardening of their stance on the lucrative pipeline.

Russia denies it is planning an attack. But the build-up of tens of thousands of Russian troops on Ukraine's borders in recent weeks has stoked tensions and escalated fears of an invasion.

"I want to be very clear: if Russia invades Ukraine one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward," US state department spokesman Ned Price told NPR. But he added that he was "not going to get into the specifics" of how it would be stopped, and questions remain over whether the US would have the power to cancel the project.

"We will work with Germany to ensure it does not move forward," Mr. Price said. (Read more) 

- Lord God, we ask that You grant Your wisdom to the officials in both the United States and Germany over this critical matter. We ask You to place the oil of the Holy
Spirit over this oil pipeline, so that only Your will shall be done with this decision.

- "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10) 

3. Ukraine crisis: US rejects Russian demand to bar Ukraine from Nato - BBC
 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken was giving Russia a formal response to its demands to resolve the Ukraine crisis. Mr Blinken gave no concessions but said that he was offering Russia "a serious diplomatic path forward, should Russia choose it".

Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said President Vladimir Putin would now assess Mr Blinken's response. While the document - delivered by the US in coordination with the NATO military alliance - does not address Russia's "main concern" about the alliance's expansion, Mr Lavrov said it "gives hope for the start of a serious conversation" on secondary questions.

Russia had issued a written list of its concerns about the expansion of NATO and related security issues. Among them was a demand for NATO to rule out the possibility of Ukraine and others ever joining the alliance.

Mr Blinken said the US response made its "core principles" clear, including Ukraine's sovereignty and its right to choose to be part of security alliances such as NATO.

"There should be no doubt about our seriousness of purpose when it comes to diplomacy, and we're acting with equal focus and force to bolster Ukraine's defences and prepare a swift united response to further Russian aggression," he said. "It remains up to Russia to decide how to respond," he added. "We're ready either way." (Read more)

- Lord God, as these discussions continue to move back and forth in the world of diplomacy, we come to You as the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords, asking once again that Your will, and only Your will be done, in the sensitive matter of the relationship between Russia and Ukraine. Grant Your peace, O Lord we pray, amen.

- " Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. 
Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor fearful." (John 14:27) 

4. U.S. urges China to use influence with Moscow over Ukraine - National Post
 

U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland said U.S. messages to Beijing had been very clear.

“We are calling on Beijing to use its influence with Moscow to urge diplomacy, because if there is a conflict in the Ukraine it is not going to be good for China either,” Nuland said at a regular State Department news conference. “There will be a significant impact on the global economy. There will be a significant impact in the energy sphere.”

China’s U.N. ambassador Zhang Jun said a “time-honored Olympic Truce” for the Beijing Winter Games that begin on Feb. 4 would start from Jan. 28.

“Let’s take this opportunity to promote peace, solidarity, cooperation, and other common values shared by all humanity, to make our world a better place,” Zhang tweeted. (Read more)

- Lord God, our hearts sink at the news that we have to reach out to China to help
resolve the conflict at the Russian/Ukraine border. Help us, O Lord, we pray! Help our leaders first to have the wisdom to turn to You in time of need, O Lord! And help our nation remain strong in the face of other nations, so that our word, and our word alone, will carry the negotiating power needed to bring peace on the world stage. Forgive us, O Lord, we pray, amen and amen.


- "Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!" ( Isaiah 31:1)

5. North Korea fires two suspected missiles in sixth round of launches this month - NPR
 

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea on Thursday fired two suspected ballistic missiles into the sea in its sixth round of weapons launches this month, South Korea's military said.

Experts say North Korea's unusually fast pace in testing activity underscores an intent to pressure the Biden administration over long-stalled negotiations aimed at exchanging a release of crippling U.S.-led sanctions against the North and the North's denuclearization steps.

The renewed pressure comes as the pandemic further shakes the North's economy, which was already battered by crippling U.S.-led sanctions over its nuclear weapons program and decades of mismanagement by its own government.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the weapons, which were likely short-range, were launched five minutes apart from the eastern coastal town of Hamhung and flew 190 kilometers (118 miles) on an apogee of 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) before landing at sea.

Aviation authorities issued a Notice to Airmen, or NOTAM, for pilots operating in South Korean airspace, advising them of a "missile launched from North Korea" and that they maintain close communication with air traffic controls, according to the website of South Korea's Office of Civil Aviation.

The U.S. Indo Pacific Command said the latest launches, while highlighting the destabilizing impact of North Korea's weapons program, didn't pose an "immediate threat to U.S. personnel or territory, or to our allies. (Read more)

 - Father God in heaven, once again we bring North Korea before Your Throne of Grace. We ask that You station Your holy angels all around that nation, and hem in any missiles that are being launched, causing them to fall to the ground without harming any man. Help us, O Lord, we pray, when we see our enemies acting dangerously. Amen and amen.

- "Bless the Lord, you His angels,
Mighty in strength, who perform His word,
Obeying the voice of His word!
Bless the Lord, all you His 
angels,
You who serve Him, doing His will."
(Psalm 103:20,21)  
6. 27 Russian Diplomats Expelled From US - Embassy Laments "Very Bitter Event" – Zerohedge
 
27 Russian diplomats left the United States on Wednesday after a prior State Department order had set a deadline of Jan.30 for their departure, at a moment the showdown at the Russia-Ukraine border continues, and amid deteriorating US-Russia relations.

Calling it a "very bitter event at our embassy," Russian Ambassador Antoly Antonov said in a social media video of the diplomats departing on a bus to the airport: "Our comrades were forced, at the request of the Americans, to leave earlier than the period for which they came here."
 
The US had framed the prior order to leave as being due to the expiring visas of over 50 diplomats, however, Russia has called the refusal to renew the visas effectively an expulsion.
 
"Back in September, we were invited to the State Department and given a list of 55 people," Amb. Antonov described, according to an English translation. And the embassy said in a statement that the diplomats were "forced to leave earlier than their tenure expired." (Read more) 

- Almighty God, we are thankful that You moved America to expel from the United States these 27 Russian diplomats.  Thank You for protecting our country from our enemies.  In the Name of Jesus.

- "Depart from me all you workers of iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of our weeping.  The Lord has heard our supplication; the Lord will receive our prayers."  (Psalm 6:8-9)  

7. House Republicans Demand Answers on Israel and Iran – The Epoch Times

Expressing grave concern over the Biden administration’s handling of foreign policy matters in Iran and Israel, more than 30 House Republicans signed two stern letters this week, demanding action from President Joe Biden and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

“The American people expect this administration to live up to its word; number one, keep us safe, and keep American interests safe. It seems in both these cases that’s not occurring at any level,” Rep. Scott Perry (R-Penn.), author of the letters, told The Epoch Times.
 
“That’s not occurring at the U.N. with the with ambassador Greenfield, regarding the Human Rights Council and this never-ending investigation and condemnation of Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, and it’s certainly not happening with Iran’s nuclear intentions.”

The letter to Biden (pdf) requests a definition of Biden’s contingency plans if nuclear negotiations with Iran fail to produce an acceptable outcome for U.S. security interests. (Read more)  
- Abba, we ask that these two letters sent to Biden would get results! We ask that the pressure would come to bear upon Biden and his Foreign Relations team, and that this would, in effect, put the Biden Administration "on notice" that these Congressional members are insisting that Iran be closely monitored and watched. Iran must not be allowed to become a nuclear armed nation! 

- "
Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade."      (Psalm 121:4-5) 

8. The Oath Keepers: What the indictment says and does not say about the January 6 riot – NewsTarget

The indictment of eleven individuals associated with the “Oath Keepers” produced an immediate deluge of the postings that an insurrection had finally been established on the January 6th attack at the Capitol. The charges do not establish an insurrection. It does reveal how extremist groups show the protest as an opportunity and hoped that it might trigger greater unrest. However, the indictment does not offer the long-sought proof of an insurrection to fulfill the narrative of many commentators and politicians. While I would not be surprised by additional charges against other co-conspirators and more details could emerge, the indictment does not support the prior allegations of a coordination or collusion with the Trump campaign. Here is a first take on what the indictment says and does not say.
 
Is this the Insurrection?
 
Before addressing the details of the indictment, it is important to state the obvious about this indictment and how it is already being spun as proof of an insurrection. It is not. These are charges of seditious conspiracy based on efforts to disrupt the proceedings. There was discussion among some of the defendants about the prospects of civil war, particularly after January 6th. However, the charge itself is much broader. (Read more)

- Righteous Father, we are so thankful that this false indictment against Trump has been disarmed and the truth has now been bought forth.  Thank You, Lord, amen.

- "I cried unto You, O Lord: I said, You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living."  (Psalm 142:5) 

9. Segregation’: Parents Protest Schools’ Differential Treatment of Unmasked Students in Loudoun County – The Epoch Times
 
 LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va.—Loudoun County Public Schools  (LCPS) is reverting to segregation-era-style policies by treating masked and unmasked students differently, parents whose children chose to not wear a mask to school this week said at a Jan. 25 school board meeting.
 
The mask mandate has been a contentious issue between parents and the school board in the Virginia county over the past two years, with the topic consistently being mentioned during public comments at school board meetings. However, it has escalated to a new level since the state’s new Republican governor took office on Jan. 15. 
 
On his first day in office, Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order (pdf) that removed the mask mandate in schools, leaving students’ mask-wearing to be determined by parents. The order took effect on Jan. 24. However, on Jan. 18, the Loudoun County School Board voted 8–1 to keep the district’s mask mandate in place.
 
Students who refused to wear a mask were sent to the school auditorium, gym, or library to social distance and do virtual learning, according to LCPS spokesperson Wayde Byard. He told Fox News on Jan. 25 that fewer than 200 students out of the total 80,000 student population went to school without wearing a mask. (Read more) 

- God in heaven, we pray that You by Your mighty power in heaven will move upon all the 80,000 student body to agree  with the freedom that is afforded them.  Free this school of being bound by a masked mandate.  In the Name of Jesus we pray.

- "God rules by His power forever: His eyes behold the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves."   (Psalm 66:7)  
10. Israel now #1 in covid cases per capita, proving all the draconian vaccinations, lockdowns and restrictions are utterly worthless – Pandemic News
 
 Despite the fact that Israel has implemented some of the most draconian COVID-19 pandemic measures in the world, the country is now number one in the world in new cases, according to local reports.

According to the Times of Israel , a leading health expert in the country said that 0.6 percent of the population was testing positive daily for the virus — most likely the latest variant, omicron, which is highly contagious but also very mild.
 
Prof. Eran Segal of The Weizmann Institute said at that rate, Israel currently leads the world in per capita infection rates, even though the population is required to get the latest version of vaccines available and despite heavy quarantine and lockdown regimes.
 
However, Segal tried to excuse the high infection rate:

But Segal noted it was likely that Israel was not truly the country with the highest infection rate. Rather, he attributed the figures to Israel being a leading country in the number of tests performed each day, relative to its population size.

Israel is followed in the highest daily cases worldwide ranking by Mongolia, Peru, Canada and Georgia.

The fact is, either you’re the number one country, per capita, in daily infections — or you’re not. And right now, Israel is No. 1, period , no matter how you look at the data. (Read more)

- Almighty God of Israel, we pray that You will liberate this beloved country of any and all burdens caused by this insidious virus.  Heal the people in Israel from the north, south, east and west, bringing total healing to each and every person in Israel.  Give them divine health and deliverance from the fear caused by this pandemic.  In the Name of Jesus we pray.

- "And shall put God's Spirit in you, and you shall live, and God shall plant you in your own land; then shall you know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, says the Lord."   (Ezekiel 37:14)  

11. Doctor’s Organization Has Treated Over 150,000 COVID-19 Patients With 99.99 Percent Survival – The Epoch Times

A doctor who has been offering free telehealth services to COVID-19 patients during the pandemic says that early treatment for COVID-19 works, claiming that he has a 99.99 percent survival rate. “We have a team of volunteer free doctors that donate their time to help treat these patients that come to us,” Dr. Ben Marble, the founder of myfreedoctor.com, an online medical consultation service, said at a roundtable discussion hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Jan. 24.

He added, “We deliver the early treatment protocols to them as early as we can, and we have a 99.99 percent survival rate. So, I believe myfreedoctor.com,  the free volunteered doctors have settled the science on this—early treatment works, period!” (Read more)  
- Father God, we pray the world will become informed that this virus scare has come to an end.  Early treatment is the survival way to get free from this virus.  We pray that many will hear this truth and believe it and get free.  In the Name of Jesus.

- "The righteous shall see it, and rejoice; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth."  (Psalm 107:42)

Russia Invasion of Ukraine and the Gog prophecy

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022
 

There seems to be a lot of confusion in the Christian community about the role Russia and America play in the end times. Neither country is mentioned in the Bible, but many Christian Americans tend to examine prophecy from a Western-centric, non-Jewish worldview. In reality, prophecy’s timepiece is Israel and how it is impacted by the nations found in and emanating from the table of nations in Genesis 10. For example, Noah’s grandsons from Japheth—Gomer, Magog, Meshech, Tubal are specifically mentioned in the end time prophecy of Ezekiel 38 as part of a coalition led by Gog of Magog against Israel. These nations are located in what is now modern Turkey—not Russia as is widely taught.

The assertion of Russia in the Bible is a mistranslation of the word “Rosh.” The Ezekiel 38:2 King James translation says, “Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” Whereas the New American Standard errs in its translation, “Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” The Complete Jewish Bible translation is: “Human being, turn your face toward Gog (of the land of Magog), chief prince of Meshekh and Tuval, and prophesy against him.” The mistranslation is such: “Rosh,” or “Ros” in Hebrew, translated correctly is always “Chief” or “Head,” never “Russia” (i.e., Rosh Hashana, meaning “Head” of the year).

Dangerous and Ineffective” Covid Vaccines “Need to be Withdrawn from Market,” Vaccine Researcher Tells Tucker – War Room Report
WATCH THE INTERVIEW
The former journalist for the New York Times said the vaccines should be recalled because they’ve proven “a dangerous and ineffective product at this point.”

“We’re at a very dangerous moment, Tucker, and I’m not exaggerating. I think this is probably the most important appearance I’ve had with you in the last two years,” the “Pandemia” author began.
The stat-driven vaccine investigator, who was removed by Twitter last year, added that data he’s seen suggests the vaccines are driving infection rates.

“It is completely clear now that the vaccines don’t really work at all against omicron,” Berenson said. “In these highly-vaccinated and highly boosted countries, rates of infection are incredibly high and rates of serious disease and death are also rising.”

“I have not said this to you before because I’m pretty careful and I’m pretty careful with the data,” Berenson told Tucker, “but these vaccines, these mRNA vaccines, the mRNA COVID vaccines need to be withdrawn from the market now.”

“No one should get them. No one should get boosted. No one should get double boosted. They are a dangerous and ineffective product at this point against omicron.”

Watch: Dr. Peter McCullough Blasts Vaccines, Censorship on Fox News - War Room Report
WATCH THE INTERVIEW

Appearing Tuesday, the early Covid treatment proponent who spoke at the “Defeat the Mandates” protest in Washington DC over the weekend told host Laura Ingraham that it’s been established the vaccines don’t work as they were intended.

“The science now is settled that the vaccines aren’t sufficiently effective to reduce, or handle the pandemic and they’re not safe enough to mandate,” McCullough said, also mentioning a panel discussion he participated in Monday held by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

McCullough was also asked about comments Tuesday by US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, who urged Big Tech companies to suppress the free speech of figures discussing alternative Covid therapies such as podcast host Joe Rogan, on whose program McCullough has appeared.

“I asked that question yesterday in public, on the Senate record now, ‘Who’s actually received been the recipient of censorship, or a reprisal, professional injury?’ — 80 percent of people in the room raised their hands,” McCullough stated.

Top House Democrats Decline To Say If They Would Support Pelosi As Leader After She Announces Reelection

Sources told CNN that Pelosi, who announced Tuesday that she would be running for reelection, is considering an attempt to stay in leadership after 2022. House Democrats and Pelosi agreed to term limits for the top three Democratic leaders in the House in 2018. The agreement would stop her from another run at Speaker in 2022.

The Daily Caller reached out to Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer, Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn, Assistant Speaker Rep. Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chairman Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. None of these members of Congress responded when asked if they would support Pelosi’s decision to run for reelection and if they will support her if she runs for leadership again.

Pelosi released a video Tuesday announcing her intent to run in the 2022 midterm elections. She said the upcoming political contests are “crucial” to protecting American democracy and that she would be “greatly honored” for voters to support her reelection.

“This proposal, which was developed by Members who care about the institution of the House of Representatives, would provide that Members in senior leadership positions can serve 3 terms with an additional term with two-thirds support of the Caucus,” Pelosi said in a statement in 2018. “It would include the two terms of the Democratic Majority from 2007 to 2011.”

Democratic Colorado Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who was reportedly the leader of a group of Democrats who asked Pelosi to agree to the term limit, said in 2019 that they are no longer asking for the party to make the rules official.

“We’re just letting it sit right now,” he said.

Pelosi has led House Democrats since 2003 and has held her role as speaker since January 2019. (Daily Caller) Read more.

Israel's Warning system for End of Days Earthquakes is Called Shofar - Israel365 news
On that day, He will set His feet on the Mount of Olives, near Yerushalayim on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall split across from east to west, and one part of the Mount shall shift to the north and the other to the south, a huge gorge Zechariah 14:4 (The Israel BibleTM)
 
On Sunday, two minor earthquakes shook Israel, setting off the aptly-named Teruah warning system. While experts institute practical measures to prepare for the much-predicted devastating earthquake, the Biblically minded are making more spiritual preparations for the prophesied pre-Messiah shake-up.
According to the Israel Defense Forces Home Front Command, the epicenter of the first quake was some 16 kilometers (9.9 miles) southeast of Tiberias and measured 4.1 on the Richter scale. The second quake measured 3.7-magnitude and was centered near Bet Shean in the Jordan Valley. 
 
Though there were no injuries, IDF Home Front Command engineers assisted the Tiberias municipality in surveying 60 buildings that residents reported were damaged by the earthquakes.
 
According to data presented by Kan News on Sunday, about 60 % of the homes in Israel are still not protected from missile attacks, earthquakes, or collapse due to obsolescence. More than half of Israeli citizens live in a building not properly protected against such events.
According to Kan, a major earthquake is predicted to cause about 7,000 deaths and 145,000 injuries, with 170,000 people left homeless and 320,000 buildings damaged.

The Rights that God Gave Us:
How Religious Freedom Institute Is Fighting Erosion of Liberty in US
WASHINGTON – With religious liberty increasingly under attack in America, the Religious Freedom Institute is hosting the launch of a new committee. The National Committee for Religious Freedom aims to defend religion for all by backing political candidates who support a full vision of free religious exercise at the local, state, and national levels, regardless of political party. 

Over the weekend, President Biden declared January 16th Religious Freedom Day, honoring America's commitment to protecting people's right to practice their faith. However, a slew of recent cases shows religious liberties being chipped away. 

"It was one of the rights that God gave us," former Religious Freedom Ambassador Sam Brownback told CBN News. "He gave us religious freedom. He gave us the right to do with our own soul what we choose and no government has the right to interfere with that." 

Brownback is spearheading the organization's new National Committee for Religious Freedom. The committee's goal is to help elect politicians at all levels, regardless of their party, who will stand for religious liberty. Each state will have a chapter. 

Brownback says he's hopeful that both Republicans and Democrats will support the committee, though the issue is not as bi-partisan as it has been historically. "My hope is that we can start pulling together here and saying, this is a fundamental right that you cannot have a diverse culture without having these protections for people of faith."

Trust and Obey

Words:  John Sammis
Music: Daniel Towner

Scripture: O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in You. Psalm 84:11–12

Lyrics:
When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain

Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.


Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Refrain

Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

Refrain

But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
For the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

Refrain

Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet.
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Refrain
