Who is the Iranian Islamic Republic’s ayatollah, Mojtaba Khamenei? 

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Mojtaba is the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was eliminated in an Israeli strike at the start of Operation Roaring Lion; He is considered more extreme than his father

Well that’s not good news, someone more extreme than Khamenei.  It seems he might be responsible for the crackdown when protests began in January. Doesn’t bode well for regime change which is the priority, IMO.  But  you will get what you get in an Islamist republic. Rh

Mojtaba Khamenei was officially chosen Sunday evening as the Supreme Leader of Iran, according to state media. Mojtaba is the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an Israeli strike at the start of Operation “Lion’s Roar.”

A decision on the matter was supposed to be published last week, but was apparently postponed due to concerns he would be assassinated. Those responsible for the decision to choose Mojtaba are the Assembly of Experts, which Israel attempted to strike last week — 88 clerics who have the authority to determine the identity of the next leader.

Nevertheless, among the current leadership in Iran there are also opponents. The most prominent of them is Ali Larijani, the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

In 2004, Mojtaba married Zahra, and in 2007 their first child was born. According to reports, he was forced to seek fertility treatment abroad, and earlier this week it was reported in Iran that his son and wife were killed in an attack alongside the former Supreme Leader and his wife.

He studied in religious institutions in the city of Qom and received approval as a cleric. He is close to the Revolutionary Guards and established his connections with those who would later become high-ranking members of the organization during the Iran-Iraq War. His wife and one of his children were killed in the opening strike of Operation Roaring Lion.

In recent weeks, claims have been made in Iran that Mojtaba played a significant role in suppressing the protests in January, coordinating actions with the Revolutionary Guards. If the regime maintains its current hierarchy, it is expected to make the country even more conservative, and is also likely to promote the election of conservative allies to key positions in the country, just as he promoted former Iranian President Ahmadinejad to his role.  I 24 Israeli News

Latest Update: Mojtaba has a broken leg and some type of eye injury and is the hospital. Maybe he is just scared about elimination. Hospital is a good place to hide. Rh

Pass The Save Act

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Sen. Thune, it’s time to clean out your office! Trump call him and tell him “you’re fired!!”

Following the unprecedented election in 2016 of Trump, the deep state pulled out all the stops. Outgoing President Obama decided to push the intelligence networks to dig up dirt on Trump. It didn’t matter if it was true or not. It wasn’t. Manufactured evidence almost took Trump down along with several of his friends and appointees who were slandered. Evidence is now out and there should be arrests. Don’t hold your breath, but Obama should be the first perp walked.

In 2020, with a vigorous and popular Trump running against a feeble Biden the Deep State had to do something to ensure Trump lost. That was all solved with the covid scam and mail in ballots that were not verified and dropped off days and weeks later. The fix was in, voting stopped as Trump lead in several toss up states. Later we find that the Dominion voting systems helped change votes, and added votes for Biden. The election was stolen. Again evidence has been found, and our elections will never be the same.

However now we have the opportunity to fix at least a part of the problem with the SAVE ACT. The house has passed, but the Senate lead by worthless John Thune and aided by the octogenarian and Biden lookalike Mitch (China) McConnell, it hasn’t even been brought to the floor for a vote. Thune is bought and paid for. He is dirty. Case closed, and all the other so-called Republicans who will not vote in favor of election integrity. Millions must be flowing to these dirty politicians from somewhere. But where? The DOJ must get to the bottom of the election issue here in America, without free and fair election, our country is lost.

Call the wayward Senators, especially Thrune’s office and demand action. Won’t do any good, but it will make you feel better to yell at someone. It did me. Maybe not yell, but forceable language is the order of the day.

United States Military Might

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

As a member of the Republican Party, more out of the lesser of two evils, I believe in America first.  Up to a point.  I am a Christian conservative who understands that in this world America can’t just stick its head in the sand.  We need a powerful military and we also need to put our finger on the scales of injustice.  I support military action against Iran.  Western democracies and Jimmy Carter in his weakness allowed the radicals to come to power.  Each succeeding President, with exception of Reagan, who had other fish to fry, were also responsible.  

Iran has a large Christian community inside the country, and this uprising was a call for freedom and self determination. President Trump encouraged the demonstrations and now it’s time to act.  I expect it will go as well as the quick intervention in Venezuela.  The world needs a strong hand and a determined vision, whether we like it or not we are the conscience of the world. 

Below is a post from Amir Tsarfati’s Telegram page. Interesting read.  God bless America and I pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

The showdown with Iran is not only about Tehran.

It is a live demonstration.

The massive force buildup – carrier strike groups – bomber rotations – layered missile defenses – sustained logistics air bridges – all serve a broader purpose.

Iran is the operational arena.

China is the strategic audience.

Beijing is watching:

   •   How fast the U.S. can mass power

   •   How long it can sustain deployments

   •   Whether alliances hold under pressure

   •   Whether it can operate in multiple theaters simultaneously

This is deterrence by demonstration.

If Washington can project overwhelming force in the Middle East while maintaining Indo-Pacific readiness, it reinforces American dominance in the 21st century.

The message is not rhetorical. It is kinetic.

And it is being delivered in real time.

Unicorns and Fairies (Real Estate Agent Attempts to Broker Deal With Iran): 

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Witkoff on Iran: The president is curious as to why — I don’t want to use the word capitulated but why they haven’t capitulated. Why under this pressure with the amount of naval power over there, why they haven’t come to us and said we profess we don’t want a weapon…

C’mon Trump, sending what amounts to a used car salesman to broker peace with the most devious and strategic outlaw country in the Middle East?  What ya thinking man.  Please explain how anyone can expect anything good to come from this so called “negotiations”.  When you go into talks with Iran telling everyone who will listen that they will not stop nuclear enrichment and will not do away with their missiles, then we can expect no deal.  At least not one that Trump himself has said must include both.  

Iranians are master negotiators, they understand the gullibility of the western diplomats and politicians.  Iran always plays the delay and waiting game.  They are content to live to fight another day, whereas the western mindset is to accomplish today for their campaign sound bite.  

It has been somewhere around 9 weeks since Trump made his famous, “help is on the way,” declaration.  Sad to say we need to either make the regime change, which is the only way to bring some stability to the region, or make a bad deal and walk away.  Note to America First disciples, who want a hands off approach to all things outside our borders, if we do that I can almost guarantee a regional war in the next few months.  Bad deals can’t be enforced and we have tried that scenario many times.  Over and over again!

Iran has struck a deal with Russia to purchase thousands of shoulder-launched air defense missiles in exchange for half a billion euros. (Per Financial Times) 

Speaking of hard to enforce deals, Gaza is a good example, and brokered by Witkoff.

“Our position on international forces is clear: we want peacekeeping forces that monitor the ceasefire, ensure its implementation, and act as a buffer between the occupation army and our people in the Gaza Strip, without interfering in Gaza’s internal affairs,” Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem told AFP.

Hamas and Israel have continued to trade attacks along the Strip despite the tenuous cease-fire, with the terror group committing daily violations of the truce…

“We see them test our troops. We see them carrying out attacks every week … [Hamas] has injured and killed soldiers since the ceasefire began,” IDF Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani told The Post. New York Post

A Message from Amir Tsarfati: my humble opinion, Special Envoy Witkoff caused significant damage to the war effort by telling Fox News that the President is kind of frustrated and even surprised that the Iranians are not capitulating.

Those words echoed loudly across the Middle East – and they were received as a signal of weakness and ignorance.

Weakness – because a massive military buildup impresses no one if there is no clear willingness to use it.

Ignorance – because this regime will never surrender its “insurance policy” – namely its nuclear program, its ballistic missile arsenal, and its regional proxies – if it believes the ultimate objective is to topple it anyway.

Right now, many in the region view President Trump as someone who may have miscalculated the situation – projecting a “Maduro effect” onto Iran as though the two cases are comparable. They are not.

In my opinion, the President must now be firm – and if a strike is required, it must be decisive and unmistakable.

It must be carried out in such a way that every enemy of the United States understands clearly – America does not posture – it acts.

Deterrence in this region is not built on rhetoric – it is built on demonstrated resolve.

If the objective is to prevent a wider war and restore credibility, then the message must be unmistakable – do not test the United States.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto those who call evil good, and good evil.

Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness,

Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.

Such are the days we live in. Maranatha!

Trump’s Board of Peace – Prophetic or Egoistical??

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

“The Board of Peace has unlimited potential. Last October, I released a Plan for the permanent end to the Conflict in Gaza, and our Vision was unanimously adopted by the United Nations Security Council. Shortly thereafter, we facilitated Humanitarian Aid at record speed, and secured the release of every living and deceased Hostage. Just last month, two dozen distinguished Founding Members joined me in Davos, Switzerland, to celebrate its official formation, and present a bold Vision for the Civilians in Gaza, and then, ultimately, far beyond Gaza — WORLD PEACE!” President Trump

I fear that Trump with his deal making persona and his admitted lack of Biblical knowledge, he can be set up for failure.  Beside all that I am not excited about the $10 billion he has pledged from the United States.  Trump is trying to solve a bad situation by throwing money at the problem.  Money and jobs are not the problem in Gaza or other hot spots.  It is the Islamic mindset.  Until they accept Israel’s right to exist, nothing will change. 

In these shaky and prophetic times we live, any version or derivative of “World Peace” gets on my radar.  It is sometimes easy to see all events pertaining to Israel and the Middle East in light of Bible prophecy, but not all are.  Forerunner? Possibly.   So prophetic or egotistical, we shall see.  (I am in no way saying that Trump is the ant-christ!).  But this could be a forerunner to something to build on.  We shall see.  Or is it just another failed attempt at peace in a region with age old hatred and religious and cultural divides that will never heal.  At least not until the Prince of Peace comes.  

Trump said contributing nations had raised $7 billion as an initial down payment for Gaza reconstruction. Contributors included Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, and Kuwait, he said. The membership is mostly made up of Middle Eastern countries, plus leaders from outside the region who may be looking to gain favor with Trump.

Estimates for rebuilding Gaza, which was reduced to rubble after two years of war, range up to $70 billion.   “We have to get this right.  There is no Plan B for Gaza.  Plan B is going back to war.  No one here wants that,” said the U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio. At this point Hamas has not disarmed.

Trump proposed the board in September when he announced his plan to end Israel’s war in Gaza. He later made clear the board’s remit would expand beyond Gaza to tackle other conflicts worldwide, a point he reiterated on Wednesday by saying it would look into “hotspots” around the world.

The Bible tells us in the book of Daniel 9:27, that the anti-christ with his Beast system of one world governance will “confirm” a seven year peace treaty with Israel.  Interesting choice of word, “confirm.”  Since I believe that the Bible says what it means and  means what it says, this tells me a peace treaty of some kind will already be in place at the arrival of the anti-christ.  And by the way that word doesn’t mean in place of Christ, but instead of Christ.  Much more important context.

The ecumenical movement started years ago and will increase.  Unity sounds great.  But we must stand on the absolute truths of the Word.  Unity on the essentials, and freedom on the non-essentials. No unity can be possible without naming the name of Jesus as the only way of salvation.  True Christians will always be in contrast to the world and fight against the hedonistic culture of today.  I believe woke based churches will play a big role in the rise of the Beast and his system.  Woke, liberal work base churches with a mandate to love all regardless of lifestyle change, who also deny the validity of the Word are an anathema to the true church.  After all, what is more deadly than a false man made religion.  What we see today with woke churches and the absolute ignorance of the American church is mind boggling.  

Is this the rising of the Beast system, peace, or the ramblings of an old man’s ego??  I’ll leave you to decide. Time will tell.

Live in the Word and walk in His Spirit. 

Hillary Clinton Insists Christian Men Are Damaging The Path Forward For America – Harbinger’s Daily

Dear readers, sorry to have to put you through this, but this is priceless. I guess she has time to spread mor radical feminist propaganda before testifying in Congress. Old and tired doesn’t look good on radicals. Rh

Earlier this week, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said out loud what many socially conservative Christian believers have long suspected radical factions of culture contend to be fact: White, Christian, heterosexual men are the cause of all kinds of problems, and maybe even behind the collapse of Western Civilization…

Save Act

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

If we can’t pass the save act, we could lose our Republic, and that is not hyperbole.  The following article makes it clear, now is the time!  Several states including most recently Georgia, have had election issues going back for years. In 2018 I sat in a meeting with a Pastor /mentor who was heavenly involved with emphasizing Biblical values in our elections.  His warning was spot on. He told us that North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Texas were on the radar as targets to flip democratic. I scoffed, but he was so right.  Only allowing legal voters, and doing away with the nonsense of mail in ballots is a must. Rh

‘Ignoring Human Nature’: Using Biblical Reasoning, Rubio Pinpoints Why Globalism Is A Recipe For Disaster – Harbinger’s Daily

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

One particular statement was truly profound, and its tremendous accuracy stems from being bred out of a Biblical worldview. Discussing the collapse of communism in Germany, Rubio warned that the celebration of this success in the West quickly morphed into an ill-conceived fantasy about the future of nations. This globalist…

Warning – Mid-Terms Are Coming

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Senator Tuberville weighs in on the Republican efforts in the mid-terms.  “We are not doing anything.”

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is among a handful of Senate Republicans publicly expressing frustration about doing everything possible to keep control of the U.S. Senate with the midterm elections looming.

According to a report by The Hill’s Al Weaver, the hopes of passing so-called “big-ticket items” to address affordability concerns this year were “quickly fading away,” according to some Republicans.

In brief remarks to The Hill, Tuberville suggested as much, saying there was little movement by the U.S. Senate.

“Are we doing enough? We’re not doing anything,” he said. “Everybody’s working on getting elected.”

Tuberville, a candidate for governor, has suggested some of the gridlock on Capitol Hill is attributed to the long-standing filibuster rule.

He has been a proponent of ending the filibuster in recent months. In a recent op-ed, the senior U.S. Senator warned of a doomsday scenario without the GOP taking a proactive approach to ending the filibuster.

“Republicans must end the filibuster if we have any hope of keeping a Supreme Court that respects the Constitution,” he wrote. “If we fail, Democrats have already said what they will do when they regain power: pack the courts with radicals who will disregard the Constitution altogether.”  Jeff Poor 1819 News

IMO, we the people have spoken and we haven’t been “paid back” on our investment in the do nothing republican party, especially in the Senate. We have the White House, and both chambers in Congress.  Lots of big talk, but where is the action? Judges need appointment from the Senate, the Save Act needs passing, but nothing.  There is a long laundry list of promises made and very few even attempted, much less kept.

The Filibuster?  What to do with that?  I have mixed emotions.  We all know the fear is what would the democratic socialists do when they regain power?  

Here is a list:

  • drop the filibuster
  • pack the supreme court
  • Impeach Trump
  • Do away with the electoral collage
  • open borders
  • raise taxes – they call it (investments) 
  • destroy America

Too harsh, I don’t think so.  

We have missed a grand opportunity to govern.  Tuberville is right, nothing will get done now.  Recess and campaigning is the mandate now.  

Believe me when I say we are just as close to losing our Republic as before the 2024 election.  What has been codified into law?  Where is Trump on the issues, he tries to bully, but that doesn’t work like private business.  Make some deals with Congress, get it done.  Call them into the Oval and lay down the law.  Govern!

Trump must focus on these mid-terms or he will be the biggest lame duck President ever.  Trump on the campaign trail is classic. Make the right endorsements, let the money flow and let’s win these mid-terms. You can do both Mr. President, chase peace and save the country from degenerate democrats.  “America First” means saving our way of life. You have the purse strings, use ‘em.  Money and endorsements are the mothers milk of politics.

I’m not fear mongering, but just making salient points that need to be addressed.  As the crazy Cajun (Carville) once told Clinton, “it’s the economy stupid,”.  Well Mr. President, “it’s the mid-terms.”  Rh

Iran’s Apocalyptic Islamic Ideology

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The stage is set, the lines have been drawn, Trump’s red line in the sand, looking for a deal but continuing to say “things will go bad for them (Iran) very bad” without a deal.  An amazing arsenal of weaponry has been assembled.  Why the wait?  No one but Trump knows for sure, but best guess is that the deal maker wants to be remembered as a peace maker.  Something’s deals wont work because the one you try to make a deal with, just won’t deal.  

To be blunt, after all the bravado of President Trump,and without some significant military action or an iron clad enforceable deal with Iran, Trump will lose all credibility.  Remember he encouraged the protestors in Iran over a month ago to keep fighting, that help was on the way.  Since then tens of thousands have been killed and imprisoned.  It has gone from bad to worse.  Why all the bravado from Iran, especially after the 12 day war of last summer?

Iran’s Apocalyptic Islamic Ideology is why the cowards in Tehran continue to demand and bluff and seemingly desire a confrontation with two superior nations.

One very important factor is being overlooked in dealing with Iran, a Shiite apocalyptic theology and ideology.  This ideology is the lens through which they view the world.  For them, everything that is happening is being branded as a “holy war.”  They use their theology as a shield to justify their brutality, even against their own people.

By framing protests against the regime as rebellion against God, officials have effectively turned politics into a battlefield of Good vs Evil.  Behind all this is the belief that clerics have to pave the way for the return of their Mahdi, the 12th Imam. They believe the preservation of the regime is the existential imperative for the Mahdi to return.  Iran’s clerical leadership believe that the Mahdi’s return will be hastened by global destruction and war.

“Some hardline factions in Iran argue that global chaos and war are necessary precursors to the Mahdi’s return.  This perspective can lead to the view that negotiated long-term peace is detrimental to their ultimate theological goals.”

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps are 150,000 strong hard core zealots.  They have sworn to preserve the regime at all costs.  They have murdered thousands with glee, all to save the radical clerics and attempt to destroy the freedom fighters.  In some respects Iran is itching for a catastrophic fight to the end.  The religion of peace seeks a fiery end to mankind.

Ironically this apocalyptic end times scenario also envisioned the last Mahdi coming on a white horse, and ruling the world for 7 years.   Interestingly the book of Revelation also states the anti-christ will attempt to do the same.  

As a footnote, Erdogan of Turkey also has visions of being the last Mahdi.  That is why I am more fearful of him for Israel’s survival than any ayatollah.  At the present time he has moved troops into Syria, and his intentions are most certainly not honorable to say the least.

As I wrote earlier, keep your eyes on Turkey.
