FBI Made Over 8,900 Arrests,
Located 1,410 Child Victims Under Operation Summer Heat 2.0
|
|
|
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has located 1,410 children and arrested 8,927 individuals in around three and a half months under Operation Summer Heat 2.0. Compared to Operation Summer Heat 1.0, which concluded in 2025, arrests are up 3 percent and the number of children located is higher by 34 percent, according to a Sept. 30 post on X by FBI Director Kash Patel. A total of 5,013 weapons have been seized in the current operation, a 120 percent jump from last time.
Operation Summer Heat 2.0—active between June 1 and Sept. 20—included the seizure of more than 59,525 pounds of cocaine and more than 1,499 pounds of fentanyl. Six most-wanted fraudsters were caught during this period, while six alleged cybercriminals were extradited. In an Aug. 29 post on Facebook, FBI Omaha said that under Operation Summer Heat 2.0, they worked with various state, local, tribal, and federal partners in Nebraska and Iowa, resulting in the arrest of around 95 individuals and the seizure of 119 weapons.
The FBI said in a Sept. 14 statement that the operation led to the arrests of 662 individuals across the state of Louisiana, with 315 firearms seized. “Communities are safer because of our ongoing partnerships and initiatives like Operation Summer Heat 2.0,” Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Tapp said in the statement. “Incarcerating a dangerous criminal for one night or even a few hours is 100 percent ineffective at maintaining public safety. However, putting them in prison for years, is a different story. This year, the FBI reported the largest year-to-year decrease in violent crime since we started collecting and reporting numbers in 1936,” Tapp said. (Epoch Times) Read More Here |

Father we celebrate the amazing news regarding the FBI finding 1,410 children and seizing drugs and weapons, while also removing criminals from our communities! Bless and protect our ICE agents and give wisdom and insight to FBI Director Kash Patel, as he gathers intel to find missing children and directs agents to patrol our streets, arrest criminals and secure our nation from violent crimes. Pour Your favor over President Trump for his promise and swift follow-through in protecting America and all citizens of the United States! In Jesus mighty Name- Amen.

AFT Dues Funded Left-Wing Infrastructure, From the Center for American Progress to the Clinton Foundation
|
|
|
The American Federation of Teachers doesn’t just spend money directly supporting Democrats; it also funds a network of left-leaning nonprofits that advance Democrat causes.
According to its annual filing with the Department of Labor, the AFT gave $250,000 to the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning public policy organization. It gave $100,000 each to: Emily’s List, a political advocacy group backing women who support abortion; the National Action Network, the Rev. Al Sharpton’s advocacy group; and the American Prospect, a news outlet co-founded by Clinton-era Labor Secretary Robert Reich. The AFT gave $75,000 to the Bill, Hillary, & Chelsea Clinton Foundation and $10,000 to the Human Rights Campaign.
“It is political advocacy by another name,” Michael Watson, research director at the Capital Research Center, told the Daily Signal in an interview Tuesday.
“You’ve got Center for American Progress developing policy—that’s what they do,” Watson said. “Then you’ve got Emily’s List activating women on abortion, because that’s what they do. Then National Action Network, you’ve got the Al Sharpton patronage network and identity politics for African-Americans in New York City.” As for the Clinton Foundation, Watson noted that AFT President Randi Weingarten has had a close relationship with Hillary Clinton, and the AFT became the first major national union to endorse Clinton in the 2016 primary.
“This is what being part of a coalition means,” he added. “It means you go scratch everybody’s back in the hope that when they’re in a position of influence and authority, they can scratch yours.”
Watson noted that contributions to these nonprofits appear in the “contributions, gifts, and grants” section of the Labor Department filing, a section for spending that does not fit in other categories. During the filing period between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026, AFT spent $111.7 million on “representational activities” (the traditional activities of a union), $37 million on “political activities and lobbying,” and $5.9 million on “contributions, gifts, and grants.” The filing also disclosed that AFT gave Weingarten $546,158 in total compensation.

Abba, the enemy has been after our children for years and the American Federation of Teachers has become one of his tools. We humble ourselves before You and ask for Your help in protecting our kids. We ask Holy Spirit to release warrior angels into the heavenlies to fight this strategic battle for the coming generations, silence demonic voices, reveal the truth behind these voices, let Your love be heard in the voices of Your Ekklesia as we pray and seek Your face. Jesus, intervene and shift minds and hearts that have been deceived, break whatever hold the enemy has on each child, bring their hearts home to You. We ask this in the name Yahweh Rohi, The Lord Our Shepherd.
"For the Lamb at the center of the throne will
be their shepherd; 'he will lead them
to springs of living water.' 'And God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes.'"

Education Secretary Calls on Schools to Strengthen Education on History of Communism and Socialism
|
|
|
Ahead of the 10th U.S. National Day for the Victims of Communism on November 7, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon released a Dear Colleague letter to education administrators and teachers, urging schools to strengthen instruction on the dangers and history of communism and socialism, ensuring that students realize the principles of freedom that are the foundation of the U.S. constitutional republic. Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, and Tennessee already incorporate instruction on the history and perils of communism into their school curricula.
“At a time when young Americans are expressing positive impressions of socialism in record numbers, it is more important than ever for students to learn and understand the devastating human consequences of communist and socialist regimes,” said Secretary McMahon.
“We must ensure the next generation values freedom, individual liberty, and the constitutional principles that have made America the greatest nation in the world – otherwise, we risk repeating the tragedies of the past,” she added.
On November 7, the U.S. will remember the more than 100 million people who have died under communist regimes. (Presidential Prayer Team) Read more here.

Abba, thank You for Secretary McMahon speaking truth of what our children need to be learning. Communism and socialism are godless forms of government, Your intentions for the US was a government based on Your truth and the freedom You died to give us. Our founding fathers and documents spoke of You being the basis for how all the rest would actually work and stay together
We decree and declare that the voice of godless enemies will be silenced, in Jesus' name. We declare that all deception will be revealed and replaced with truth, in Jesus' name. We decree that all plans of the enemy to replace the government intended by Almighty God will be cast down and destroyed, in Jesus' name. We ask all of this in the name El Gibhor, Mighty God, the God who will accomplish the destruction of His enemies.
"If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And
if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him?"

Border Officers Intercept Large Cocaine Smuggling Attempt in Texas
|
|
|
Border agents in Hidalgo, Texas, recently stopped a pickup truck with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine from entering the United States from Mexico, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) exclusively told The Epoch Times on Oct. 6.
The Sept. 27 encounter was one of the latest in a record number of illegal drug seizures at the U.S.–Mexico border and throughout the country by the agency in a single year, nearly doubling totals from prior years.
CBP officers at the Hidalgo International Bridge encountered the black pickup traveling north from Reynosa, Mexico. They gave it a secondary inspection with nonintrusive equipment and also a K9 screening.
The equipment showed anomalies within the Chevrolet truck, and the K9 team detected the odor of narcotics. CBP agents then conducted a physical inspection and extracted 22 packages of cocaine.
The illegal drugs had a combined weight of nearly 60 pounds, which would have fetched $798,000 in the United States, according to the agency.
CBP officers impounded the vehicle, and Homeland Security Investigations special agents launched a criminal probe. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

Abba, thank You for guiding agents to "relook" at that pickup truck! We give You praise and thanks for the amount of cocaine that was taken out of circulation so it didn't end up on the streets. Thank You for our agents being trained to uncover this type of crime on our border. We ask Holy Spirit to continue alerting our agents when something is hidden, bring into the light all illegal drugs and even illegal people trying to sneak into our nation. Thank You Jesus that the tide has finally turned and for the truth and justice that are now being seen on our borders. We ask this in the name El Roi, The God Who Sees everything.
"His eyes are on the ways of mortals;
he sees their every step."

UK Makes 7th Arrest Over Security Incident Near RAF Fairford Airbase
|
|
|
Authorities in the United Kingdom have announced the arrest of another suspect in connection with a recent security incident near the RAF Fairford airbase used by U.S. forces. On Oct. 6, the UK’s Office for Counter Terrorism Policing announced the arrest of a 22-year-old male British national in the Westminster borough of London. Authorities detained the man on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.
The 22-year-old is the seventh to be arrested after authorities were alerted to suspicious activity near the airbase in Gloucestershire on Sept. 27. U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham have both publicly indicated the Sept. 27 incident may be linked to an Iranian plot.
Authorities initially arrested five British nationals on Sept. 27, on suspicion of committing offenses under the UK’s Explosives Act. These five men were subsequently released on police bail. On Oct. 1, authorities announced the arrest of a sixth individual, whom they identified as a 25-year-old British–Iranian national. Authorities have since released this sixth individual on police bail.
“This remains a live investigation, and our specialist teams continue to pursue multiple lines of inquiry into the circumstances surrounding events near RAF Fairford,” senior national coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing Vicki Evans said on Tuesday.

Abba, we give You thanks that the US is continuing to piece together what happened outside the Fairford Airbase. We ask that all that is in darkness be brought into the light, Holy Spirit, pour the fear of God into the hearts and minds of all who are involved. Jesus, we decree and declare that all plans of the enemy to attack or in any way do damage to US forces are not allowed, they will not happen, they will not take place. We declare this in the name Yahweh Sabaoth, The Host Of Heaven's Armies, the God who has multitudes of angels and men intent on doing as He asks.
"For he will command his angels concerning
you to guard you in all your ways."

1. Israel marks 3 years since Oct. 7 with memorial ceremonies, anti-government protests - Times of Israel
Israel on Wednesday marked three years since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack from Gaza, in which some 5,600 terrorists stormed across the border, massacred some 1,200 people, and took 251 hostages to Gaza, on the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust and the opening shot of the subsequent multi-front war.
Memorial events took place throughout the day in cities and towns across the country. Though the state officially marks the anniversary on a different date, set according to the Hebrew calendar (this year governmental ceremonies were held October 5), many municipalities still chose to fly flags at half-staff Wednesday, as various bodies and non-state advocacy groups held ceremonies. Activists also protested the government, which was some nine months into its term when the attack took place.
Ceremonies began at 6:29 a.m., the time when the invasion began.
At that hour, a number of anti-government protesters briefly blocked the key Ayalon Highway in the center of the country to hold a moment of silence. (Read more)

2. 3 years of war: Data shows IDF hit 100,000 targets as 31,500 projectiles fired at Israel - Times of Israel
As the country marked the passage of three years since the onset of the multifront war on October 7, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday published new data about its operations on all fronts, from the number of rockets fired at Israel to the number of sites struck by the military.
The Gaza war began with the Hamas-led invasion in southern Israel, during which terrorists rampaged through communities, an outdoor rave and military bases, massacring some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251 to the Strip.
Israel responded with a military campaign to topple the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip, destroy the terror group and free the hostages. The day after the Hamas assault, the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah began attacking along Israel’s northern border, saying it was acting in support of Gaza, a conflict that later escalated to all-out war. Israel also engaged in several rounds of fighting directly against Iran over the past three years, including major 12-day and 40-day wars in 2025 and earlier this year, respectively. Iran’s proxies in Yemen and Iraq also attacked Israel amid the fighting. (Read more)

3. Israel’s Economy Continues to Grow, Defying Three Years of War, Global Pressure - Algemeiner
Israel’s economy has shown a striking display of resilience over the past three years, continuing to grow and outperform major global markets even on the third anniversary of the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, invasion and massacre, despite a prolonged multi-front war and growing international efforts to economically isolate the Jewish state.
Three years of war have come at a staggering cost to Israel, with millions of lives affected, families still carrying the scars of the conflict, and the government spending heavily to sustain the effort. Yet the economy has continued to expand despite the enormous burden.
According to Bank of Israel data, the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) — the total value of goods and services produced in Israel — has increased by nearly 10 percent since the start of the war. (Read more)

4. Report: Flydubai terrorist trained as a pilot in Britain - Israel National News
The Omani pilot accused of attempting to hijack a Flydubai passenger flight bound for Israel received professional pilot training in Britain, The Telegraph reported Tuesday.
Hamam al-Hammami, 29, is being held in Abu Dhabi following last Wednesday’s incident, which authorities have described as an attempted jihadist terror attack. He is accused of attacking the aircraft’s pilot with an axe before crew members and passengers intervened.
According to The Telegraph, Hammami trained between 2018 and 2019 with L3 Airline Academy, one of Britain’s largest flight schools at the time. (Read more)

5. Tens of thousands of Israelis abroad expected to fly home to vote in 2026 election - Jerusalem Post
At least 53,000 Israelis living abroad are expected to travel to Israel to vote in the 2026 election, as the Likud withdrew its petition against organizations helping citizens reach the country for Election Day on Tuesday.
The petition against AID Coalition and its Fly&Vote initiative, which aims to help Israeli citizens living abroad reach Israel to participate in the election, was dismissed by agreement of the parties following a hearing before Central Elections Committee chairman and Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg.
The petition was withdrawn following Sohlberg's recommendation. Likud attorney Ilan Bombach subsequently announced that the party was withdrawing the petition.

1. How Americans helped create the Chinese car tech capable of 'spying' - Fox News
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison overlapped on work with China's powerful police ministry developing vehicle technology capable of tracking cars and overtaking driving functions, according to findings from a report shared exclusively with Fox News Digital ahead of its release.
The technology, known as "vehicle-road-cloud" integration, links cars with roadside cameras and sensors and centralized cloud platforms, allowing authorities to monitor traffic in real time and, at its most advanced levels, send commands to connected vehicles.The implications of connected vehicles have alarmed U.S. officials.
The Commerce Department moved last year to restrict certain Chinese and Russian connected-vehicle technology in the United States, warning that foreign adversaries could potentially collect sensitive information about American drivers or remotely manipulate their cars. (Read more) |

Lord God we know that China has been able to gain much control over our government and over highly sensitive information from American agencies. We are so thankful that this administration is bringing accountability to China. We pray that those involved would repent and come clean and we pray for wisdom and strength for our leaders that they would take this situation seriously and work hard to correct it. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
“He shall confess his sin that he has committed. And he shall make full restitution for his wrong, adding a fifth to it and giving it to him to whom he did the wrong.” (Numbers 5:7)

2. Millions saved by blocking dead people payouts as Trump Treasury drops hammer on federal fraud - Fox News
The Treasury Department blocked $175 million in federal payments tied to deceased recipients in fiscal year 2026, up sharply from the $99 million identified just months earlier as the Trump administration expanded government-wide screening for improper payments.
"I applaud Secretary [Scott] Bessent for slamming the door on these fraudsters before they can pick taxpayers’ pockets," Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy told Fox News Digital.
Kennedy has for years pushed to give Treasury greater access to Social Security death records, helping pass a 2020 law that temporarily authorized the Social Security Administration to share its full Death Master File with the department. That three-year data-sharing program began in December 2023. Trump then signed Kennedy’s Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act into law in February 2026, making access permanent.

3. Supreme Court Lets Third-Country Deportations Resume - Million Voices
The Supreme Court’s brief emergency order put on hold a February judgment from U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts. Murphy, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, had struck down the Department of Homeland Security’s policy for sending deportees to so-called “third countries.”
Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson said they would have denied the administration’s request. None of the three gave a written reason for disagreeing.
The Court treated the emergency request as a full petition for review and told its clerk to set a schedule for arguments in December, Fox News Digital reported. The pause stays in place until the justices issue their final decision, which is expected sometime in 2027.
The U.S. Supreme Court on September 29 cleared the way for the Trump administration to keep deporting illegal immigrants to countries other than their own. The one-page, unsigned order pauses a lower court ruling that had blocked the policy while the legal fight continues. (Read more) |

Lord, thank You for the gift of law and order. Grant our justices wisdom as they weigh this case and give our leaders courage to protect our communities. Keep the officers who enforce our laws safe and help us show mercy and truth to every person we meet. Amen.

4. Your Gun Rights Don’t Stop at the State Line, Court Rules - Million Voices
For nearly 60 years, a law-abiding American could walk into a gun store in another state, pass a federal background check, and still walk out without a handgun. A federal appeals court has now ruled that rule unconstitutional.
A divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit struck down the federal ban on direct interstate handgun sales. The court ruled 2-1 that the longstanding federal law violates the Second Amendment.
The case, Elite Precision Customs v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, could have wide effects. It also sets up a split between federal appeals courts that may send the issue to the U.S. Supreme Court. (Read more) |

Father, thank You for judges who honor the Constitution and the rights You have given us. Guard the Second Amendment from those who would chip it away. Give every gun owner wisdom, self-control, and a heart to protect life. Amen.

5. Dad Sues After School Refuses Faith-Based Opt-Out - Million Voices
Konstantin Averkiev says he did everything a parent is supposed to do. He met with his son’s teacher, explained his family’s Christian beliefs, and asked to be told before any lessons on sex and gender were tauight.
Months later, his 10-year-old came home talking about gender-change surgery. Now the Kirkland, Washington, father is taking the Lake Washington School District to federal court.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed the federal lawsuit on his behalf on September 8, 2026, arguing the district violated his First and 14th Amendment rights. The case is one of the newest tests of a 2025 Supreme Court ruling that protects parents who want to pull their children from certain lessons that conflict with their faith. (Read more) |

Lord, we lift up Konstantin Averkiev and his young son. Give this father strength and peace as he stands for his family's faith. Grant the judges in this case wisdom and a love for justice. Raise up parents across our nation to be bold, loving, and faithful guides for their children. Amen.

6. Gender Rule Wiped From the Title IX Books - Million Voices
For many families, the fight over Title IX has come down to questions that hit close to home. Who belongs in the girls’ locker room? Can a teacher be punished for how they address a student?
The U.S. Department of Education has closed the book on the Biden administration rule that tried to rewrite those answers. The department formally rescinded the rule and put the first Trump administration’s 2020 Title IX regulations back into the official federal rulebook.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the action clears Biden’s “illegal rewrite” from the Code of Federal Regulations. Title IX is a 1972 law that bans sex discrimination in schools that receive federal money. For more than 50 years, it has helped open doors for girls in classrooms and on playing fields.

Heavenly Father, thank You for creating us male and female in Your image. Protect the girls in our schools and on our playing fields. Give Education Secretary Linda McMahon and school leaders wisdom and courage. Pour out Your compassion on students who feel confused and draw them to Your truth and love. Amen.

Stupidocrisy: When Hating Jews Becomes Fashionable
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, October 7, 2026
There is something deeply disturbing happening in our culture. Antisemitism, the ancient hatred that ultimately helped produce the Holocaust, is again creeping into politics, entertainment and public discourse. A North Carolina Democratic legislative candidate reportedly posted photographs of herself smiling near crematorium ovens at Dachau while suggesting supporters of President Donald Trump belonged in concentration camps. Over six million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. Using the machinery of genocide against political opponents shows how hatred consumes people, invoking history’s worst atrocities to justify their contempt. And this has spread across society.
For example, the war between Israel and Hamas has become a cultural battleground. At the New York Film Festival, protesters challenged the documentary “NAZA,” saying its portrayal of Palestinian civilian deaths failed to provide adequate context about Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack that started the war. Protesters displayed images of hostages and victims outside the premiere. Criticism of Israel or its government can be part of legitimate political debate. However, it turns dangerous when October 7 is minimized, Jewish civilians become abstractions, and hostility toward Jews is agitated. The cry “from the river to the sea” carries particular weight because it calls for the elimination of Israel and the Jewish people living there. Jewish suffering cannot become acceptable collateral damage in somebody else’s political cause. Read More

DOJ to Strip Citizenship From 40 in ‘Largest Denaturalization’ Move
|
|
|
|
One of the individuals was sentenced to prison for handing over military secrets to China.
|
|
|
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed denaturalization cases against 40 individuals accused of various crimes, including sexual abuse of a minor and espionage for China.
The denaturalization cases, filed between Aug. 21 and Oct. 2, represent the largest number of complaints filed in a single period under the Trump administration, according to an Oct. 5 DOJ statement. Individuals facing denaturalization have been accused of acts such as child pornography, drug offenses, sodomy against a special needs man, child sexual abuse, identity theft, and voluntary manslaughter.
Based on DOJ data, the highest number of denaturalizations were of citizens from Mexico, China, and Pakistan.
" Today’s announcement marks the largest denaturalization effort in modern history,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said in the recent statement regarding the 40 cases. “From an individual convicted of espionage to others convicted of sexual offenses against minors, these defendants concealed critical facts from the U.S. government and represent serious criminal offenders.”
In January, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) introduced the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation Act (SCAM Act), which expands the denaturalization process for individuals who have committed certain crimes, according to a Jan. 19 statement from the lawmaker’s office.
Specifically, the SCAM Act targets people who have committed fraud against government programs, are associated with designated foreign terrorist organizations, or have committed an aggravated felony or espionage, according to the statement.
The SCAM Act “would take bold steps to safeguard the American public from criminal exploitation, defend against national security threats, and ensure that the virtues of U.S. citizenship continue to be protected and preserved,” Joe Chatham, director of government relations for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, said in the statement.

Lord God,
Thank You for this article on the DOJ filing denationalization cases against individuals accused of crimes espionage, sexual abuse, identity theft, and concealment of information from the govrnment when applying for citizenship. Oh Lord, we pray that every seed of wickedness that has been allowed to take root in our nation would be discovered and brought to justice and let those who have broken these laws lose their citizenship rights.
Father, we thank You for Senator Schmitt's bill, the SCAM ACT, for targeting those who have committed fraud against government programs and are associated with terror organizations. As these cases come before the judges, we pray for wisdom and common sense knowledge for them so that they will vote in favor of America and remove these invasive roots so that "We the People" can feel protected again. Lord, open the eyes of the blind and let righteousness reign!
In the Mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen and Amen.
"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." (Proverbs 29:2)

Trump Approves Firing Squad for Radical Islamic Terrorist
|
|
|
|
President Donald Trump has approved execution by firing squad for convicted mass murderer Nidal Malik Hasan, the Islamic terrorist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009.
“Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended—and President Donald J. Trump has approved—death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell wrote on X. “He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ during the attack.”
Hegseth previously said he was “100% committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan. The victims and survivors deserve justice without delays,” he said.
“Judgment day for Hasan has finally come,” Parnell wrote.
The last military firing squad execution was on Jan. 31, 1945, when a firing squad in France executed Pvt. Eddie D. Slovik for desertion during World War II.
Hasan, who was born in Northern Virginia, opened fire on Nov. 5, 2009, using a semi-automatic handgun. He killed 13, including a pregnant female soldier, and wounded 32 others.
Hasan admitted to the shooting at his court martial. In 2013, he said he carried out the attack in support of the Taliban. (Daily Signal) Read more here.

|
Father God, the words "Firing squad" send a chill up our spine, but for some, this is the only way that justice can be served.
We thank You that, after waiting for these 17 years, Nidal Malik Hasan has met his own time of justice. Let others who are of evil hearts and wicked intentions, especially against our own men and women in uniform, take heed. May this act of justice stop each of them in their tracks, saving many lives. We ask this in Jesus' mighty, mighty name, amen and amen!
"Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins." (Psalm 7:9)

In first, senior UAE official calls flydubai plane attack an ‘act of terrorism’
|
|
|
|
Anwar Gargash warns against ‘simplistic interpretations’ and conspiracy theories surrounding incident; PM says Israel investigating whether attacker acted alone, warns ‘whoever sent him will pay heavy price’
|
|
|
Anwar Gargash, an adviser to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, on Friday described the attempted crashing of a flydubai flight to Tel Aviv earlier in the week as an “act of terrorism,” becoming the first senior Emirati official to publicly characterize the incident as a terror attack.
In a post on X, Gargash praised Indian pilot Smit Machchhar, who was stabbed several times by his Omani copilot as part of the latter’s alleged attempt to crash the plane. Machchhar still managed to open the cockpit door, allowing three Israeli passengers to rush in and subdue the attack, and one of them to stabilize the plane, before off-duty pilots on the plane were able to carry out an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.
Gargash wrote that Machchhar deserved recognition because he “showed the meaning of courage when he confronted a dangerous and potentially catastrophic act of terrorism.”
He also warned against “simplistic interpretations” and conspiracy theories surrounding the incident, saying vigilance was essential in confronting the dangers posed by extremism and terrorism.
Meanwhile, a source close to the Emirati government told Channel 12 that Abu Dhabi feels the Israeli government is exploiting the attempted terror attack for political purposes.
The source said Israel is responsible for stopping continued flydubai services and that labeling repatriation flights by Israeli carriers as “rescue flights” misrepresents the UAE as “a country where there is war or a crisis, and that’s not the case.” (Times of Israel)

Father,
We continue to praise You, once again, that the Flydubai plane was saved from destruction of the enemy because of the courage of the Indian pilot, Smit Machchhar, who was able to open the cockpit door and let brave Israelis to rush in and subdue the attack and stabilize the plane. We pray, Lord, that the Omani co-pilot who brutally stabbed and tried to destroy the plane will be punished according to Your laws!
Lord, we agree with Anwar Gargash, advisor to UAE President, that we must not allow conspiracy theories and simplistic interpretations be the ruling judge in this horrific incident and declare this to be an act of terrorism as we pray for justice to be served.
Father, we pray that You would grant PM Netanyahu wisdom in investigating this horrendous act to see if this terrorist acted alone, or was part of a bigger master plan. Surround PM Netanyahu with songs of deliverance. In the name and the power of Jesus, we pray. Amen and Amen.
"You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye on you." (Psalm 32:7-8)

Russia's Plague Mystery: What Are The World's Labs Creating?
|
|
Something strange happened at a Russian laboratory that studies some of the most dangerous pathogens on Earth.
Twenty-eight-year-old Darya Shipilova, an employee of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute in Siberia, became seriously ill and died October 2 from what Russian authorities describe as pneumonia of unknown origin. Reports circulated that she may have been exposed to pneumonic plague in a laboratory accident, although Russian officials deny that account and say testing found no pathogen connected to her work.
Nearly 200 contacts were initially placed under medical observation or isolation. Most have since been released, Russia says no plague has been detected, and the World Health Organization currently considers the broader public-health risk very low.
Perhaps that will ultimately be the end of the story.
But the incident has opened the door to a much larger question that received far less attention during the COVID pandemic and deserves considerably more today:
What exactly are laboratories around the world doing with the deadliest pathogens known to mankind?
The Diseases We Don't Talk About
COVID was devastating, but biologically speaking, it was nowhere near the worst pandemic scenario imaginable.
The World Health Organization maintains a list of pathogens considered priorities because of their epidemic potential and the limited countermeasures available against them. It includes Ebola and Marburg, Nipah virus, Lassa fever, MERS and SARS, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and something ominously called "Disease X" -- WHO's placeholder for a currently unknown pathogen capable of causing a serious international epidemic.
Consider Nipah virus. Some outbreaks have produced extraordinarily high fatality rates. Fortunately, Nipah has never developed anything approaching COVID's ability to sweep efficiently through human populations.
And therein lies the nightmare. (Prophecy News Watch) Read More
