Here We Go Again!

Don’t Be Fooled Again

by Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst

December 10, 2025 

WASH—Dec 10—KIN–Pfizer is back in the spotlight, rolling out trial results that claim its new mRNA influenza vaccine outperforms the standard flu shot. The headlines trumpet “better efficacy,” as if we’ve all forgotten the last three years. But FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary says it’s a non-starter, “The trial showed zero benefit” for seniors.” Approval denied. Pfizer rolled out a press release highlighting very carefully framed numbers. They say this new shot reduced flu cases more than the conventional vaccine. What they don’t discuss with the same enthusiasm is that they’re using the exact same COVID-19 mRNA platform that triggered adverse-event warnings that are still being debated today. Who would believe a word they say? Not the new FDA.

 We learned a lot during COVID, and most of it didn’t come from official talking points. Pfizer’s own early submissions showed declining protection within months and a spike in myocarditis and pericarditis—especially in young males. People who never had cardiac issues before suddenly found themselves navigating symptoms they didn’t expect. Even the FDA eventually added warnings to the label. And yet here we are again, being told that the same mRNA delivery system has now produced a superior flu shot. They want you to focus on the percentage improvements, not the risks. They want you to forget that “safe and effective” turned into “waning efficacy and unforeseen complications.” They want you to act like none of it happened. But facts are stubborn things, and memories—especially painful ones—tend to stick.

 Pfizer insists side effects from this new flu shot are “consistent” with its prior mRNA vaccines. That alone should set off alarms. Consistent with what? The platform associated with heart inflammation, blood clots, miscarriages, infertility? The protection that collapses over time? The trial data that treated serious adverse events as unfortunate footnotes? Americans aren’t anti-science. They’re anti-being-sold-something-twice. After COVID, who in their right mind takes Pfizer’s self-reported success at face value? If the company wants credibility, it should lead with long-term safety data, transparent adverse-event reporting, and real-world durability. What we’re getting instead is selective storytelling wrapped in marketing optimism, hoping you don’t notice the fine print repeating itself. Hats off to the FDA for not buying it this time.

 This is exactly how these drug companies bamboozle people into really bad health decisions with irreputable side effects. 

We all need discernment. You don’t have to be a scientist to apply common sense. If a company’s last blockbuster vaccine came with unresolved questions, diminishing returns, and documented risks, then any product built on that same blueprint deserves serious scrutiny. The moral here is simple: don’t let déjà vu turn into deception. Ephesians 5:6 first says, “Let no one deceive you with empty words.” Pfizer may believe the public has a short memory, but a whole lot of people are living with reminders that say otherwise. Demand honesty. Demand full data. Demand accountability from corporations that expect blind trust after earning the opposite because being fooled again is, say it with me…Stupidocrisy.

Ex-Psychic’s Dire Warning About ‘Wicked’ Movie – CBN News Billy Hallowell

Jenn Nizza, an ex-psychic who now runs a ministry urging people to flee the occult, is warning that “witchcraft is real” and is encouraging people not to watch “Wicked: For Good,” the new sequel to the wildly popular film “Wicked.”

Nizza, host of the “Ex-Psychic Saved Podcast,” told parents the movie “has a witchcraft influence” and is “romanticizing” the issue.

“This is very concerning to me, especially the indoctrination of the demonic targeting the youth,” she said. “This is my Christian perspective on this.”

Nizza has widely documented her decades in the occult, working as a psychic and medium before encountering Christ at the age of 37.

She said that experience has forced her to pause when it comes to projects like “Wicked.”

“As somebody who lived in the life of the occult and the New Age for many years … this film is playing on the sensitivities of many people, suggesting there should be some compassion for the bad witch,” she said, noting that the film also “suggests that there can be good witchcraft.”

This teaching is “dangerous,” according to Nizza.

“I just want to speak into this because I’ve been there,” Nizza said. “This movie is showing witchcraft. … Witchcraft involves invoking demons … it doesn’t matter if you call yourself a good witch or a bad witch; it’s condemned by God.”

Agree completely with this, I have seen personally people become entwined with what they thought was innocent and turned disastrous. As Christians we need to focus on what the Word says, and not allow darkness into our minds. Pray over your kids that any evil spoken over them or against them will prosper. Spirit realm is not to play with, anything outside of the Word of God and the Spirit of God must be off limits. Rh

Syrian Sanctions Lifted

Not sure how this will play out, Syria is run by a former Al Qaeda terrorist. Israel and Syria seem to be trying to work out some sort of peace arrangement, and Trump is all in on the Syrian President. Hard to believe a leopard can change its spots. Trust but verify. Rh

Syrians are celebrating: Between Wednesday and Thursday night, the U.S. House of Representatives announced that it had approved the Defense Authorization Bill, which includes a provision lifting the sanctions imposed on Syria under the Caesar Act.

These sanctions were originally placed on the Assad regime for crimes against humanity committed during the civil war that erupted in the previous decade. The Senate is expected to approve the bill within the coming days, after which it will be sent to President Donald Trump for final signature.

The Caesar Act is named after the alias of a former Syrian military photographer who risked his life to smuggle out thousands of images documenting torture and executions of political prisoners by the Assad regime. Since fleeing Syria, he has devoted his life to seeking justice for the victims of Assad’s brutality.

Passed in late 2019, the Act enabled the United States to impose sweeping sanctions on the Assad regime for its crimes against humanity, including the use of chemical weapons and the torture of detainees. It also targeted individuals and entities that supported the regime, with the goal of weakening its economic capabilities.

The Defense Authorization Bill, which includes the repeal of the Caesar Act sanctions, is expected to take effect on January 1, 2026. However, in its current form, the bill grants the U.S. President the authority to impose new sanctions if circumstances require.

This marks a significant political victory for the government of Ahmad al-Shar’a. Despite the involvement of Islamist governing factions in mass atrocities against Alawites and Druze, al-Shar’a has continued to enjoy support from the Trump administration.

Following the de facto repeal of the Act, thousands of Syrians poured into the streets in celebration, as the sanctions had placed severe strain on the local economy. Celebrations were reported in Damascus’s Umayyad Square, as well as in Aleppo, Homs, and Latakia.

Syrian Tourism Minister Mazen al-Salhani stated that “the repeal of the Caesar Act is a historic turning point that corrects the path of international justice and opens wide horizons for the national economy.” Speaking to the state news agency, he added: “The tourism sector is still recovering. Lifting the restrictions will expand investment opportunities and ease the movement of tourism delegations. This will strengthen Syria’s position on both the regional and international tourism map.”

Syria’s Minister for Emergency and Disaster Management, Raed al-Salh, also welcomed the development: “For the first time in decades, Syria is free of American sanctions. The repeal of the Caesar Act ends a long era of isolation and punitive measures for which Syrians paid twice – suffering under the crimes of the previous regime and then enduring the economic and institutional collapse that followed.”

Culture War In the West

Here is an excellent article to better understand why the globalists are working with leftist/communists to destroy America.  They should all go somewhere else and start their own country.  LOL.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/key-understanding-cult-globalisms-war-west

here are some excerpts….

The culture war in the western world is currently hitting a crescendo. At first the media said it was all “conspiracy theory” being amplified by a “fringe minority” of radical right wingers. Then, they admitted the conflict was real but claimed that conservatives were monsters trying to “dismantle democracy”. Today, the culture war has become the dominant issue of our age with the debate echoing through the halls of the White House.

Leftists hoped they could make it all go away by dismissing it. They hoped they could continue with their ideological takeover at their leisure. They failed.  The rebellion in the US is a product of decades of effort by liberty advocates and it is finally bearing fruit.

The key to understanding the globalist war on the west is first to recognize that a conspiracy of “elites” is a hard, irrefutable fact. Second, we must accept that war has been declared on us and this war is one of total conquest. We are not allowed to live separately and peacefully, our very existence is seen as a threat to the establishment. Third, globalists view western culture as antithetical to their future aims. Globalism cannot prevail as long as western ideals exist.

Finally, as noted, most of the world is against us whether they know it or not. Even old allies in Europe are becoming enemies. Import masses of third worlders into America and they don’t become American, America becomes the third world. Import millions of socialists into the US and the US becomes increasingly socialist. This is very simple to understand, but leftists (and some libertarians) refuse to acknowledge the truth.

Not all cultures are equal.  Some are better than others.  It’s fascinating how liberals continue to pretend as if different nations and cultures don’t produce tribes that are contrary to each other. We are not the same and natural coexistence is a myth.  Coexistence of such groups is created through intimidation, extortion and force.  The liberal Utopian ideal of multiculturalism requires oppressive centralization and tyranny.

Globalism is the mechanism by which total and eternal oligarchy is achieved. They use open borders, mass immigration, woke cultism, economic crisis, international conflagration, engineered pandemics, anything you can think of and more to tear their enemies down. We are their enemy. We didn’t choose this fight, they did, and they will continue changing strategies until they find one that works (or until we end their little experiment).

Doha Forum

Doha, the world capital of the Muslim Brotherhood and the ATM of Hamas, is opening this weekend its annual Terror Laundering Gala, the Doha Forum.

On stage, under crystal chandeliers

• Ahmad al Sharaa – former Al Qaeda commander who drowned Syria in blood, now scrubbed and airbrushed as “Mr President.”

• Jawad Zarif – foreign minister of Iran’s terror regime

• Hakan Fidan – Erdogan’s Islamist enforcer

All beaming for Al-Jazeera, the global megaphone of the Muslim Brotherhood.

A brief reminder of the terror money trail

• Hundreds of millions to Al Qaeda in Syria

• Hundreds of millions of dollars every year to the Taliban through Doha banks

• Qatari “charities” caught funneling money to Al Shabaab

• More than two billion dollars to Hamas

And who flies in to bless this spectacle

• Tucker Carlson – Mr. “I’m just asking questions,” the man who described Hamas jihadists as a “political party” and wondered “what is so bad about Sharia,” now arriving with his entourage to bow before Qatar’s prime minister on stage.

CNN star Christiane Amanpour and Francesca Albanese – Sunday preachers of human rights, Monday hostesses for every blood-soaked Islamist foreign minister on earth

In the end, just as in Tolkien’s epic, the real question floating above the hall is not political. It is the oldest moral test known to humanity

Can a person refuse the temptation of power, money, and prestige when they are offered in the service of evil?

In Doha, this test is not merely failed, it is celebrated!

The self-proclaimed Syrian president Ahmad Al-Shar’a told the Doha Forum that “terrorism” is often politicized, insisting that real terror is the killing of innocents – from Gaza’s alleged 60,000 victims, to the millions displaced in Syria, and the countless civilians lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It seems the perfume he received at the Oval Office didn’t work its magic. To this former Al-Qaeda commander, the rape, slaughter, and kidnapping of Israeli civilians do not qualify as terrorism. Only when Israel defends itself does he suddenly remember the word.

Syria’s ISIS terrorist President Abu Mohammed Al Julani Says the US and Israel Are The Real Terrorists, Not Him, Not Al Qaeda, and Not ISIS

During the Doha Forum yesterday, Syria’s new “president,” the former leader of al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria whose real name is Abu Mohammed Al-Julani, praised his fallen commanders and declared, “We saw wars in Afghanistan, in Iraq; all those who were killed were innocent.”

He said Al Qaeda is innocent.

He then went on to claim that the United States is the real terrorist organization in an attempt to justify that he and his group are not terrorists.

And Saudi Arabia weighs in.

Ex-Saudi intel chief: “In my view, it is Israel now that is the troublemaker and should be reigned in…”

Asked which is a greater threat to regional stability during an onstage interview at the Milken Institute’s Middle East and Africa Summit in Abu Dhabi yesterday, Saudi Prince Turki Al Faisal responded: “For the moment, definitely it is Israel. We’ve seen that Iran has been dealt a strong hand by the US,” he said, apparently referencing Washington’s strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Prince Turki, who as a prominent member of the Saudi royal family, remains influential in Riyadh even after leaving government.

“Events in Lebanon with the diminishing of Hezbollah and the change of the regime in Syria have obviously affected Iran’s ability to affect and influence events in the broader Middle East,” he continued. “Israel is feeling its oats by bombing Syria on almost a daily basis, continuing to bomb Palestinians — whether in Gaza or the West Bank and also in Lebanon, where there’s supposed to be a ceasefire,” Prince Turki said.

“That is definitely not a harbinger of peace in our part of the world. In my view, it is Israel now that is the troublemaker and should be reigned in,” he said.

Understand why I say it does no good to make deals with treacherous regimes. They will continually move the goal posts. They are who they are and will do whatever they can get away with. Remember Qatar was funding Hamas, when asked if they would help rebuild Gaza, they said no, they (Qatar)did not destroy Gaza. No but your terror proxy was responsible. Rh

The Unsettled Middle East

As always it seems the chaos of the Middle East leads my concerns for the upcoming weeks. Israel is still trying to consolidate their victories, U.S. still seems to be reaching toward the Arabs, Muslim etc. for deals and investments. Not sure I would want to get in bed with radicals. Trump seems not to notice their bad behavior. Deals made, but no money yet? All eyes will continue to be on Jerusalem that, as Bible prophecy indicates, is a stone of stumbling for the nations. Iran’s still a threat, Hezbollah still not disarmed, and Hamas still playing the same old games. Will we never learn? No, I don’t think so. Deals with deceit will never work. Time to unleash the firepower and finish the job. We are almost back where we started. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Content below taken from http://www.billkoenig.com

Trump, Netanyahu, the UN, and Iran: A High-Risk Week for Israel

This was one of the most geopolitically consequential weeks of the year for Israel, marked by unusual U.S. messaging, UN momentum against Israeli sovereignty, and large-scale military posturing by Iran. As the region reconfigures itself politically and militarily, Israel faces a tightening strategic environment that will require clarity, resolve, and decisive policy judgment.

Trump Pushes for Netanyahu Pardon — While Warning Israel on Syria

Former U.S. President Donald Trump continued publicly calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be pardoned of all charges related to his ongoing corruption trials in Israel. Trump framed the cases as politically motivated, urging closure for the sake of Israeli stability and unity.

However, the tonal contrast of the week was unmistakable.

Even as Trump advocated for Netanyahu’s legal relief, he personally warned Israel not to intervene militarily inside Syria, signaling that Washington does not want Israeli action disrupting sensitive regional balances — particularly where Russian, Iranian, and Syrian forces intersect.

This dual posture — unconditional rhetorical support for Netanyahu as an individual, paired with caution toward Israeli military activity — reflects Trump’s realpolitik approach: transactional, flexible, and often unscripted. For Israel, it presents both opportunity and risk.

Strong backing for Netanyahu is politically valuable, but a U.S. administration urging operational restraint in Syria could create strategic handcuffs precisely when Iran is embedding itself deeper across the northern theater.

UN Empowered Through Gaza Deal — and Moves Against Golan Heights

Trump’s Gaza stabilization plan has effectively re-elevated the United Nations into a central role in Gaza administration and long-term conflict architecture. The UN, after years of diminished influence, is suddenly positioned again as a gatekeeper for post-conflict arrangements.

The consequences were immediate.

This week, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling for Israel’s withdrawal from the Golan Heights — one of the most strategically vital security buffers Israel possesses. The timing could not be more significant:

• A UN empowered by the Gaza framework

• A UN resolution targeting sovereignty over the Golan

• An international system once again conditioned to pressure Israel

For decades, the Golan Heights has been Israel’s northern shield — the high ground preventing Syrian and Iranian forces from threatening Galilee. A UN-backed withdrawal demand signals that international campaigns to erode Israel’s territorial legitimacy are escalating again.

Trump’s deal may have been designed for stabilization, but its practical outcome is that the UN now possesses renewed authority to define territorial questions, which historically has not favored Israel.

The Strategic Danger of Non-Ideological Foreign Policy

Unlike administrations with clearly defined pro-Israel ideological foundations, Trump’s foreign policy operates on pragmatic deal-flow, not doctrinal alignment. That flexibility can generate agreements — Abraham Accords proved that — but it also risks exposing Israel to rapid shifts in U.S. posture.

Non-ideological diplomacy means alliances are fluid, conditional, and transactional.

This week demonstrated that fluidity. Support for Netanyahu’s pardon suggests closeness. Warnings on Syria and a UN-empowering Gaza framework signal distance. Together, these create uncertainty — and uncertainty is a battlefield advantage for Iran, Hezbollah, and the UN diplomatic bloc.

Israel is entering a moment where the greatest threat may not be military — but diplomatic isolation combined with strategic ambiguity from its closest ally.

Iran Simulates War — and Threatens 2,000-Missile Barrage

Iran, sensing the moment, staged large-scale military exercises in the Gulf of Oman, firing ballistic and cruise missiles at simulated targets designed to reflect wartime conditions.

Just weeks ago, Iranian officials warned that if war with Israel erupts, Tehran would unleash 2,000 missiles at the same time — a saturation attack intended to overwhelm Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow, and the multilayer missile defense grid.

The 12-day war already demonstrated what smaller barrages can achieve. Two thousand simultaneous launches would represent a magnitude beyond anything Israel has ever faced.

Iran is signaling capability, intent, and confidence.

Northern Front — Israel vs. Hezbollah

In the shadow of Iran’s drills, Israel continued striking Hezbollah infrastructure inside Lebanon, targeting launch sites, weapons depots, and command channels. Hezbollah is relentlessly working to reconstitute its arsenal and precision-missile capacity, seeking parity or superiority in a future war.

Israel, fully aware of this trajectory, is racing to degrade Hezbollah faster than Hezbollah can rebuild.

This is a detention-attrition cycle — but one inch away from a regional ignition point.

Doha Qatar Conference Speakers

Wonder what the topics will be?? Pure political theatre. Problem is they are the ones determining (they think) the destiny of the world. Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall? Interesting group though, I am sure deals will be made and agreements will be put into place to rule over the lowly subjects. Rh

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, Bill Gates, CNN, and Breitbart will all take to the stage at a conference in Doha, Qatar this weekend.

Clinton, Trump Jr., Carlson, and Gates are just a few of the strange bedfellows scheduled to speak at the Doha Forum in Qatar’s capital this upcoming weekend, with other prominent officials and speakers from around the world also flying into Doha for the event.

Other speakers at the Doha Forum are set to include: CNN chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour; Breitbart News Washington bureau chief Matthew Boyle; Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz; Al-Qaeda jihadist-turned-Syrian President Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa; World Economic Forum CEO Børge Brende; Foreign Policy editor-in-chief Ravi Agrawal; CNN correspondent Eleni Giokos; National Interest editor-at-large Steven Clemmons; Newsmax contributor and America First Policy Institute vice chair Fred Fleitz; Middle East Eye editor-in-chief David Hearst; Sky News presenter Yalda Hakim; Goldman Sach’s Jared Cohen; Sunday Times chief foreign correspondent Christina Lamb; 1789 Capital co-founder and Trump ally Omeed Malik; former CNN chief national security correspondent Alex Marquardt; BBC journalist Nawal Al-Maghafi; CNBC anchor Dan Murphy; Daily Caller co-founder Neil Patel; Semafor editor Mohammed Sergie; The Guardian editor Patrick Wintour; New Yorker columnist Robin Wright; former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf; and Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

DOJ Sues SIX More States for Withholding Voter Rolls — 14 States Now Targeted as Bondi and Dhillon Launch Aggressive Nationwide Crackdown

by Jim Hᴏft 

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced Tuesday that it has filed federal lawsuits against six additional states, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, for refusing to hand over their statewide voter registration lists, as required under federal law.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi, who has taken a dramatically tougher posture on election transparency than her predecessors, called the states’ stonewalling a direct threat to clean elections.

“Accurate voter rolls are the cornerstone of fair and free elections, and too many states have fallen into a pattern of noncompliance with basic voter roll maintenance,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

“The Department of Justice will continue filing proactive election integrity litigation until states comply with basic election safeguards.”

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet K. Dhillon, who has led the most aggressive election-integrity enforcement push in modern DOJ history, went further, accusing noncompliant states of actively undermining public trust.

“Our federal elections laws ensure every American citizen may vote freely and fairly,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

“States that continue to defy federal voting laws interfere with our mission of ensuring that Americans have accurate voter lists as they go to the polls, that every vote counts equally, and that all voters have confidence in election results. At this Department of Justice, we will not stand for this open defiance of federal civil rights laws.”

This latest wave of lawsuits brings the total number of states now facing DOJ litigation to fourteen.

The 14 states that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has sued for refusing to provide their full, statewide voter registration files are: 

  • California
  • Delaware
  • Maine
  • Maryland
  • Michigan
  • Minnesota
  • New Hampshire
  • New Mexico
  • New York
  • Oregon
  • Pennsylvania
  • Rhode Island
  • Vermont
  • Washington

Notice a trend? Mostly if not all blue and very liberal states. Only way democratic socialist can win is to cheat. Their policies are not main stream. We have to clean up our voter rolls or we lose our country. C’mon Trump kick some but, and get it done.

Israel delivers Arrow 3 to Germany, in largest defense export deal ever

Completing $4.6 billion deal, missile defense system being operated by another country for 1st time; ministry chief: ‘We Israelis, descendants of Holocaust survivors, want to see Germany strong’

By EMANUEL FABIAN 

Nazi Germany tried to exterminate the Jews, now by the Grace of God Israel will help defend them. What a great picture of grace and healing. Rh

Israel on Wednesday handed over its Arrow 3 long-range missile defense system to the German Air Force in a ceremony at an airbase south of Berlin, completing a 4 billion euro ($4.6 billion) sale, the largest defense export deal in Israel’s history.

The completion of the sale, which was formally signed in September 2023, marked the first time the Arrow 3 system has been deployed beyond the borders of Israel and the United States, and the first time the advanced system was operated independently by another country.

The system was deployed at the Holzdorf Air Base in eastern Germany, some 120 kilometers (75 miles) south of Berlin, with additional sites to follow.

From the Israeli side, the ceremony was attended by Defense Ministry Director General Amir Baram; the chief of the ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research & Development, Danny Gold; Israel Aerospace Industries CEO Boaz Levy; the director of Israel’s Missile Defense Organization, Moshe Patel; and other top officials.

German media reported that German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and Chancellor Friedrich Merz would not be attending the ceremony, but other German military and defense officials were present.

“We Israelis, descendants of Holocaust survivors, want to see Germany strong and prosperous, proud and leading in Europe and throughout the world. We deeply appreciate that Israeli systems are part of Germany’s renewed force build-up. Today’s handover marks only the beginning for Israel and Germany. Our cooperation will strengthen and deepen — whether in the air, on land, or in space.”

Our partnership is strategic, and Germany is Israel’s most important ally in Europe. Today, we mark another milestone in this relationship. Who could have imagined that only 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the Jewish state, through the technologies it develops, would help defend not only Germany but all of Europe. My family, who fled Germany on the eve of the Holocaust, could never have foreseen this,” Prosor said.

Preventing not Containing Wars

The following article is by Alma Research Center. The Alma Research and Education Center is a non-profit organization focused on researching security challenges along Israel’s northern borders with Lebanon and Syria.

This new approach to Israel’s security is working. Act before your enemies can cause damage and death. Israel is becoming more proactive in their security issues, since the Muslim and Arab world loves the cowardly sneak attack. Rh

Following October 7, there has been a shift in Israel’s strategic outlook — from a policy of containment to a proactive, preventative approach: neutralizing threats at an early stage in order to prevent the enemy’s buildup and to avoid a deterioration of the security situation.

This policy is regularly criticized by regional governments, international actors, and foreign media, who portray it as Israeli aggression and reckless behavior.

A return to a containment policy would be a mistake. The policy Israel is implementing today prevents dangerous escalation and contributes to regional stability.
