Russia’s New Hypersonic Weapons Being tested: Putin announced an array of new hypersonic weapons in 2018 and the Zircon missile is now in the testing phase, and is capable of flying at nine times the speed of sound and have a range of 620 miles. Russia has already deployed its Avangard missile system with a hypersonic glide vehicle/warhead which Putin claims will strike like a meteorite and is unstoppable by any defense system. It is capable of traveling at 20 times the speed of sound, rising outside Earth’s atmosphere, and hitting anywhere in the world in less than 30 minutes. [Daily Mail]
Putin’s ‘City-Killer’: Russia Launches World’s Largest Nuclear-Armed Submarine
It’s being popularly dubbed “Putin’s city-killer” – and is also being widely acknowledged as the largest submarine in the world to be built for 30 years: Russian Navy’s ‘Special Mission’ K-329 Belgorod has been put to see for the first time within the past days, undergoing sea trials.
Estimated at 178 meters (584 feet) long and about 15 meters (49 feet) across, it’s twice the size of the UK Royal Navy’s largest submarines, but more impressively is equipped with AI-guided nuclear tipped underwater drones which according to one prominent Western source are capable of hitting coastal targets lying 6,000 miles away.

The Russian opposition leader tells Lesley Stahl about what he went through after falling ill on an airplane this past August and why he won’t let it stop him from the work he’s doing against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Alexey Navalny on the poisoning attack he survived and why he thinks Putin was behind it
At 3:50, Jake Morphonios tells the story:
This week, one of Vladimir Putin’s main political opponents in Russia, Alexei Navalny, returned to the country and was immediately taken into custody.
Navalny made a name for himself in Russia as an anti-corruption lawyer who repeatedly accused Putin of various crimes – including making himself rich by diverting Russian money into multi-million dollar properties and other fronts. Navalny tried to run for president against Putin, but was barred from doing so.
With over 5 million Youtube subscribers and 2 million Twitter followers, Navalny has vast influence – and many believe that he is receiving support from the Central Intelligence Agency.
Navalny has led many protests over the last several years. He has been jailed many times and has also been the victim of multiple physical assaults. In August of 2020, Navalny was on a flight to Moscow when he suddenly became deathly ill.
The plane made an emergency landing. By the time he arrived at the hospital, he was in a coma. they placed him on a ventilator to keep him alive.
After toxicology tests, scientists in Germany declared that Navalny had been poisoned with Novochok nerve agent – a chemical weapon that had been developed in the Soviet Union.
Eventually, Navalny emerged from his coma and, despite believing that Putin or the Kremlin had ordered the hit on him, he returned to Russia from Germany on January 17th, 2021.
Before landing, his plane was ordered to divert to an alternate airport where Russian security took in him into custody on charges of parole violation. He is being held until at least January 29th when he will face a hearing to determine whether he should return to prison. His wife has since been taken into custody as well.
In response to Navalny’s arrest, tens of thousands of Russians began protesting in the streets throughout the country.
MY NOTES – Steven Ben-Nun said:
22:40 “Through violence, the Jewish state is trying to make it look like these prophecies (which many have been fulfilled…), they’re trying to make it look as if they are coming to pass, but in fact they are not.”
23:30 “This is really not a ‘peace accord.’ It’s a war accord. They’re using this ‘peace initiative, or this Abrahamic accord in order to prepare their coalition to go against Iran.”
33:30 “The sad thing is that when it comes to the United States, they [Israel] is done with America. I was told that straight up by people I know in Israel. China will be the next superpower, and they [Israel] will work with China. And they will use Russia to bring down this nation down, along with China.”
54 Truth about Syria: Turkey brought in the Sarin gas to falsely blame Assad for gassing his own people.
Christians and Jews say Damascus must be destroyed according to Bible prophecy, but Isaiah 17 actually says God holds Christians and Jews responsible for the destruction of Damascus, because they armed a faction to destroy Syria.
59:00 GREATER ISRAEL PROJECT: “They [Israel] had to go a long way to instigate all America’s wars on the Middle East to create this scenario. As we know, General Wesley Clark said seven nations would be taken down in five years. Of course, the timeline is off, but not the nations. The United States has played a heavy role in bringing down these nations.”

Very interesting about Russia and Putin at 13:10 in this video! Many truthers, including Mike Rivero, whose show I often listen to, think Putin is such a hero statesman, when in reality, he’s turning Russia into a police state, and is getting ready to EMP and nuke the USA.
They’re using 100,000 facial recognition cameras in Moscow to track those who have broken quarantine rules.
100,000 seemed like a lot to me in only Moscow, so I checked, and find they actually have 170,000, but only 100,000 are equipped with facial recognition right now.
______________
For Moscow’s quarantined, 100,000 cameras are watching
AFP 2020-03-24
A vast and contentious network of facial recognition cameras keeping watch over Moscow is now playing a key role in the battle against the spread of the coronavirus in Russia. …
The Russian capital already had a tight network of 170,000 security cameras, set up in streets and metro stations throughout the city over the past decade.
Around 100,000 have now been linked to artificial intelligence systems that can identify people being filmed. The remaining cameras are due to be connected soon.
𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐰 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬.
As well as the cameras, Russia has said it is drawing on an array of technology to fight the virus, including telemedicine consultations, the real-time monitoring of supermarket shelves and identifying and removing false news stories from social media.

2019 Big Picture Brief

At 37:29, Rick Wiles basically states E. Michael Jones’ revolutionary spirit hypothesis, transcribed by me.
[Note, Paul clearly said in Rom. 11:28 that the “natural branches,” “all Israel” are “enemies” of Christians because of Jesus’ gospel: “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes….” 25-26: “…a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in, and so [when] all Israel will be saved.” Their Babylonian Talmud is anti-Logos, against Christ — the “leaven of the Pharisees” Jesus warned us about.]
“The unsaved Jews, because they rejected Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Messiah — and now for 2,000 years, they have been in rebellion against God by rejecting Jesus Christ. And they are still searching for a Jewish king. They don’t want a savior, they want a king. And Jesus was not the king that they wanted, because He did not promise them physical land. He did not promise an insurrection against the Roman empire. He promised them to bring them into the kingdom of God. … And they’re still searching for a king today. But this person that the Jews are going to turn to, I believe is antichrist. … The son of perdition, the man of destruction, but he’ll be Jewish. And the Jews will rally to him; they’ll worship him. And sadly, the evangelical Zionists in America will also fall for this man. They will worship him. And they will be excited that the Jewish messiah has arrived.”

Avangard changes everything: What Russia’s hypersonic warhead deployment means for the global arms race
27 Dec, 2019
Video released by the Russian defense ministry on Friday shows the hypersonic glider warheads being loaded onto silo-based missiles. For now, the Avangards will be mounted on the UR-100N (or SS-19 Stiletto, as NATO calls them) ballistic missiles, until the RS-28 Sarmat is ready to enter service.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFiDvuSq2Iw
Hypersonic weapons fly far faster than the speed of sound. Avangard is capable of reaching Mach 27 without losing control or disintegrating under heat and pressure. This means that the weapon can outmaneuver any defenses on its approach phase, rendering it “absolutely invulnerable to any air or missile defense system,” in the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

David (Dovid) Eliezrie is a member of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and the founder and Director of North County Chabad Center and spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Meir HaCohen in Yorba Linda, California. (Wikipedia)
Key part begins at 12:45
14:30 “Putin may not be good for Russia, but he’s definitely good for the Jews of Russia.”
15:45 “There is a lot of quiet deals between Russia and Israel that you know nothing about.”
Heavy predictions worth considering!
[DISCLAIMER] I don’t necessarily agree to everything said here. Especially, I do *not* support an armed resistance, like Jon Bjerknes seems to, if it comes down to that.

Watch John discuss this in the news segment of Episode 961 – James Perloff, Jul 05, 2018 here
Posted by John B. Wells on Caravan to Midnight here
News Segment Sources:
Annual production of precursor U308 is only 2.4 million pounds. It takes 6 pounds of U308 to make up 1 pound of UF6 (Yellow Cake) this means the U1 deal sold the equivalent of 300 million pounds of U3O8 or six years of the entire global production at peak production rates.
The price of Uranium in unprocessed form (PRIOR TO U3O8) WAS $10.26/pound in 2007. Prior to Obama Presidency.
Today that same pound will cost over $100.
This shipment occurred in 2010 and the UF6 is 20% Highly Enriched – meaning that every pound should cost in 2010 dollars about $6,000.
The 50 million pound transaction should have netted $300 Billion, but it was transferred to Russia for only $270M.

An Emerging Alliance: Russia and Israel | It helps to have more than a million Russian-born Israelis inside one’s borders.
The core of this growing alliance is the more than one million Israeli citizens who were born in the former Soviet Union. Between 1970 and 1988, only 291,000 Jews, and their non-Jewish relatives, were allowed to leave the Soviet Union (165,000 went to Israel, and 126,000 went to the United States).
In 1989, Mikhail Gorbachev ended restrictions on Jewish emigration, in part for better relations with the United States. From 1989 to 2006, 1.6 million Soviet Jews, and their family members, left the former Soviet Union (979,000 went to Israel, 325,000 to the U.S. and 219,000 to Germany).
Earlier this year, President Putin said, “Russia and Israel have developed a special relationship primarily because 1.5 million Israeli citizens come from the former Soviet Union, they speak the Russian language, are the bearers of Russian culture, Russian mentality. They maintain relations with their relatives and friends in Russia, and this make the interstate relations very special.” …
Russia’s role in the Middle East provides a mixture of tension and relief for Israel. In terms of relief, part of Israel’s emergence as the high-tech Start-Up Nation can be attributed to its Russian-speaking émigrés. In 1989, there were only 30,000 engineers and 15,000 doctors in Israel. The Soviet emigrants to Israel in 1989 and 1990 alone included 57,000 engineers and 12,000 doctors. …
In 2005, Russia forgave 73 percent of the $13.4 billion Soviet-era debt Syria owed to Russia. In return, Syria has bought billions of dollars of Russian weaponry. …
Silicon Valley and Silicon Wadi in Israel succeeded, in part because of many talented Russians who sought to turn their idea into a successful company. The Russian diaspora in the United States and Israel can help modernize the Russian economy.
Israel also needs Russia, as well. Israel’s Start-Up Nation has been fueled by one million Russian-speaking Israelis. For this economic miracle to continue, the Israelis will need more engineers from the former Soviet Union. The Russian-speaking Israelis will have plenty of talent to choose from in the former Soviet Union. According the World Economic Forum, in 2015, Russia graduated 454,000 engineers and Ukraine graduated 130,000 engineers. https://spectator.org/an-emerging-alliance-russia-and-israel/

Yitzhak Shamir, the Prime Minister Who Spied on Me | Shamir’s most important contribution was convincing the U.S. administration under President George Bush Sr. to desist from issuing refugee visas to Soviet Jews.
Up to 1989, Jews leaving the USSR could choose to immigrate either to the United States or to Israel, with many choosing the U.S. Shamir was opposed to this “defection,” as it was termed at the time. He believed Jews ought to settle in Israel, whether they were from a Russian gulag or Brooklyn. He persuaded the American government and U.S. Jewish organizations that the Soviet Jews weren’t refugees, that they had a homeland in Israel. Then the floodgates of the collapsing Soviet Empire opened wide, and a million Jews along with their relatives immigrated to Israel. Had Shamir not insisted, today, many of them would have been living on the shores of the Hudson River. https://www.haaretz.com/yitzhak-shamir-the-prime-minister-who-spied-on-me-1.5191431
Shamir Wants U.S. Pressure on Emigrants | 80% Choose U.S.
The so-called “dropout” rate among Jews who leave the Soviet Union has reached as high as 80% in recent years. “Dropouts” are Jews who claim political refugee status from the United States when they reach Vienna rather than fly to Israel. http://articles.latimes.com/1987-02-10/news/mn-2379_1_united-statesHow Russia’s rich elite spend their billions in London | Wealthy [Jewish] oligarchs have become a fixture of the British landscape during the past 20 years.

Robert Maxwell, Israel’s Superspy: The Life and Murder of a Media Mogul | When asked to spy for Israel’s Mossad, Israel’s CIA, Maxwell eagerly accepted because of his great love for Israel—although the money he made in Israel was also to his liking. Following a visit to Israel Maxwell said that he had traveled everywhere in the world and Israel was the only place where he felt at home. In Israel he found the faith he thought he had lost. Viewing himself as a savior of Israel’s ailing industries, he shrewdly bought ailing Israeli companies and turned them into successful enterprises. Some of the companies became covers for Mossad. Maxwell also used his many contacts in the Russian government to work tirelessly to enable Russian Jews to immigrate to Israel.
As Maxwell made his rounds from capital to capital, meeting world leaders and exchanging gossip with them, the Mossad used him as its eyes and ears. The spy agency saw him as someone who could pass through any door in any capital and learn secrets to which even the Mossad could not be privy. Maxwell also become a source of information for his intelligence contacts in the Eastern Bloc, including the KGB.
Robert Maxwell traveled the world and peddled Promis, software the Israelis stole from Inslaw, the American company that developed the program. Promis could track data on any target subject by querying and integrating information from innumerable electronic databases, without requiring reprogramming. The theft took place when the Mossad’s Rafi Eitan traveled to the United States impersonating an assistant prosecutor in the Israeli Ministry of Justice in Tel Aviv and met with William Hamilton, the inventor of Promis, at Inslaw. After his meeting with Hamilton, Eitan immediately went to the Department of Justice, and, through serendipity, acquired a copy of Promis. Eiten then worked through former Mossad agent Ari Ben Menashe, who found Yahuda Ben-Hanan in California’s Silicon Valley to construct a back door to the program. This enabled the Mossad to monitor Promis and obtain the information the program developed as it worked for all who used it—friend and foe alike. https://www.wrmea.org/2003-september/book-review-robert-maxwell-israel-s-superspy.html
Was Robert Maxwell a Soviet spy?

An internal FBI note added that there was no evidence of espionage activity ‘on the part of Robert Maxwell in the United States; however… (redacted).’

Harry Hopkins, Soviet agent | But there are still many people alive who can remember when the chief confidant of President Franklin Roosevelt was a man named Harry Hopkins. And they will be understandably astonished to learn that in a message dated May 29, 1943, Iskhak Akhmerov, the chief Soviet “illegal” agent in the United States at the time, referred to an Agent 19 who had reported on discussions between Roosevelt and Winston Churchill in Washington at which the agent had been present. Only Harry Hopkins meets the requirements for this agent’s identity. Small wonder that Akhmerov, in a lecture in Moscow in the early 1960s, identified Hopkins by name as “the most important of all Soviet wartime agents in the United States.”
It took 50 years to bludgeon Alger Hiss’ defenders into admitting that this suave bureaucrat, who rose to be chief of the State Department’s Office of Special Political Affairs, had actually been a Soviet agent all along. And it will probably take another 50 to force Franklin Roosevelt’s admirers to concede that their hero’s closest confidant and adviser was yet another Soviet agent. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2001/jan/4/20010104-020500-7670r/

Interview with Israeli Television Channel One | President Vladimir Putin: Russia and Israel have special relations, I believe. The Soviet Union was one of the founders of the state of Israel, when as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, in the post-war period, it actively supported the creation of the state of Israel. Later, during the cold war, everyone knows how relations between the countries developed, and these relations were not to the benefit of Israel or the Soviet Union, in my opinion.
Israel has – I won’t try to give precise figures, you probably know this better than I do – but I think that 25% of its population is Russian-speaking. And in this sense, Israel is almost a Russian-speaking country. I have had the opportunity to see this for myself, when I visited your country. And what was mostly striking for me, and made quite a strong emotional impression on me, was that the Russian-speaking population of Israel, at least it seemed so to me, try in their vast majority to maintain their Russian culture and Russian language. This creates a special charm in relations between our countries and is a good basis for developing intergovernmental ties. We are watching very closely how the situation is developing in the region and in the country itself; we have enormous respect for the achievements of the Jewish people and the Jewish state.
I have already said that when I visited Israel, I had a chance to travel around the country. I even spent the night at a kibbutz, and was able to feel how people live there, how they think and what worries them. I was particularly impressed by monuments to victims of the Holocaust. And this memory of the victims of the Second World War also unites us. http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/22928#sel=4:19:Ln2,4:67:44j
Russia has made an apparent U-turn on its prior signaling that it would supply the advanced S-300 surface-to-air missiles to Syria after this week’s major escalation between Syria and Israel, which involved scores of surface-to-surface rockets being fired by both sides, primarily across the contested Golan border, and some 28 Israeli aircraft firing around 60 air-to-surface missiles at Syria during the exchange. …
It must also be remembered that this week’s exchange of fire began just as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded the 10-hour visit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and less than a day after Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal. Netanyahu told reporters immediately after the short meeting that he didn’t expect Russia to act against Israeli forces as they continue escalating attacks on Syria, supposedly while enforcing their “Iranian red line.”
STORY
Many truthers falsely believe that KGB Putin is our savior. I think he’s diabolical and sneaky, and plans to EMP and nuke the US, along with Communist China. Putin has also returned Russia to a partial police state in which it’s illegal to tell the truth about the ‘Holocaust.’ He limits blogging and alternative news. His political opponents suddenly die or get thrown into prison. Putin has also outlawed evangelicals witnessing to the Russian Orthodox.
And they’ll soon have the ability to completely win an offensive nuclear and EMP war against the USA, thanks largely to TalmudVision, which doesn’t report it, and the Putin worshiping truthers who won’t look at the facts because they think he looks good on horseback with his shirt off.
Putin’s main goal in Syria may be to defend their Mediterranean military base. It’s not because he’s such a great guy and wants to help Syria.
The photo below says a lot!

Russia unlikely to limit Israeli actions in Syria: Netanyahu
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Russia is unlikely to try to limit Israel’s military actions in Syria, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Since intervening in the Syrian civil war on behalf of President Bashar al-Assad in 2015, Russia has generally turned a blind eye to Israeli attacks on suspected arms transfers and deployments by Assad’s Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah allies.
But Moscow’s condemnation of an April 9 strike that killed seven Iranian personnel set off speculation in Israel that Russian patience might be wearing thin.
Netanyahu flew to Moscow on Wednesday to meet Putin, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump quit the Iranian nuclear deal and after Syria accused Israel of carrying out a fresh missile strike on an army base near Damascus.
“Given what is happening in Syria at this very moment, there is a need to ensure the continuation of military coordination between the Russian military and the Israel Defence Forces,” Netanyahu told reporters before departing, referring to a hotline designed to prevent the countries clashing accidentally.
After the talks with Putin, Netanyahu sounded upbeat.
“In previous meetings, given statements that were putatively attributed to – or were made by – the Russian side, it was meant to have limited our freedom of action or harm other interests and that didn’t happen, and I have no basis to think that this time will be different,” he told reporters in a phone briefing. …
Netanyahu’s relationship with Putin has been buoyed by a long-running Israeli courting of Russian sensitivities.
During his 10-hour Moscow visit, the Israeli leader attended, alongside Putin, annual Red Square celebrations of the anniversary of the end of World War Two. Israel recognizes the Russian date, May 9. Most Western powers mark it on May 8.
“When the president of Russia invites the prime minister of the state of the Jews to stand alongside him at the parade symbolizing the Red Army’s victory over the Nazis, its liberation, also, of the (concentration) camps, of Jews and others – for Russia, that is very significant,” Israeli Intelligence Minister Israel Katz told the Ynet news site.

His political opponents suddenly die or get thrown into prison. Putin has also outlawed evangelicals witnessing to the Russian Orthodox.
And they’ll soon have the ability to completely win an offensive nuclear and EMP war against the USA, thanks largely to TalmudVision, which doesn’t report it, and the Putin worshiping truthers who won’t look at the facts because they think he looks good on horseback with his shirt off.
Putin’s main goal in Syria may be to defend their Mediterranean military base. It’s not because he’s such a great guy and wants to help Syria.

… For Putin to “win” a nuclear war, the campaign against American subs has to unfold as the warheads are dropping.
The Ohio-class submarines exist because they are hard to spot. They hide within range of their targets, waiting for a Very Low Frequency radio transmission telling the crews to fire, and what to target. They carry 24 Trident II missiles. Each carries up to eight warheads of at least 100 kilotons each. They are formidable weapons of war. …
By 2025, the Ohio fleet is impressive but aging—and shrinking. Budget cuts have reduced the number of nuke-carrying Ohios to just eight by 2020 [Joel Skousen often points out that the USA has agreed to dock half of our fleet of 8 subs, so only 4 will be at sea at any given time], creating a retirement schedule of one boat a year between 2015 and 2020. Their replacements are not due to be deployed until 2030. “Fewer submarines would make it easier for a potential adversary to track and target U.S. forces,” the Congressional Budget Office reported in 2013. “The operating areas for those submarines would be more predictable because missiles must fly a certain trajectory to hit key targets.”
The Russians know about where the submarines will be.
