ON THE BRINK: Gen. McMaster Confirms President Trump Has Ordered Strike On North Korea • Now The End Begins

President Trump has ordered his military advisers to be ready with a list of options to smash North Korea’s nuclear threat.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: If you have not been following the news for the past few days, you are way behind. Over the past 72 hours, the United States carried out a cruise missile strike on Syria because of their chemical attack on their own civilians. Shortly after that, both Russia and Iran stood up to declare that “real war” was coming. Then today China moved 150,000 troops to the North Korean border. Why? Because President Trump has declared that the nuclear buildup happening in North Korea will be addressed shortly. The powder keg is fully packed, with the fuse dangling prominently upward. All it needs is the match. Are YOU ready for what comes next?

One of the advisers, Lieutenant General H. R. McMaster, confirmed his Commander-in-Chief has made the order as a U.S. carrier strike group heads for the region. It is believed that among the options are combined special forces raids and pre-emptive missile strikes.

One of the problems facing an American-led operation to hit Pyongyang’s leader Kim Jong-Un is the intricate tunnel network under the capital.

ON THE BRINK: Gen. McMaster Confirms President Trump Has Ordered Strike On North Korea • Now The End Begins

Will The U.S. Be Drawn Into Fighting Two Major Wars Simultaneously

According to CBS News, an astounding three-fourths of all Americans have to "scramble to cover their living costs" each month.  

In other words, most of the country is either living paycheck to paycheck or very close to it.  

But instead of tightening their belts and trying to put something away for the very hard times that are coming, most Americans are completely and utterly unprepared for what is ahead because the people that they trust on television keep telling them that everything is going to be okay.  

Unfortunately, everything is not going to be "okay", and when things start falling apart all around us there is going to be a lot of anger directed toward those that have been lulling everyone into a false sense of security.

One of the reasons why I am sounding the alarm so loudly is so that people will not be blindsided by the things that are about to happen to this country.  

As you will see below, we are on the precipice of two major wars, conditions are ripe for a devastating economic collapse, and if you were to throw in a major natural disaster or two you would have a recipe for the kind of "perfect storm" that many have been warning about.

Earlier today I focused on our looming economic problems, and in this article I want to address the potential for more military conflict in the very near future.  When Donald Trump hit Syria with 59 cruise missiles, millions of Americans greatly celebrated, but much of the rest of the world was deeply alarmed.

The Trump administration has said that more strikes are possible, but Russia and Iran are both pledging that "we will respond with force" if any more attacks are conducted...

Russia and Iran have said they will respond to further American military actions following the air strike in Syria last week.

In a joint statement, the command centre for the two countries and allied groups said "we will respond to any aggression".

The statement read: "What America waged in an aggression on Syria is a crossing of red lines. From now on we will respond with force to any aggressor or any breach of red lines from whoever it is and America knows our ability to respond well."

Do you understand what that means?

If Trump fires off any more cruise missiles at Syria, we will essentially be in a state of war with both Russia and Iran.

Previously, Russia had warned that our two nations were "one step from war" because of Trump's actions, but the Trump administration is showing no signs of backing down.  

In fact, UN Ambassador Nikki Haley says that regime change in Syria is now a top priority...

The US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, who has done a remarkable job of continuing the diplomatic tone set by her predecessor Samantha Power, said in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" which will air in full on Sunday, that regime change in Syria as one of the Trump administration's top priorities in Syria.  

Her statement was a complete U-turn from what she said just over a week ago, when she told a group of reporters that the US was "no longer focused on getting Assad out."

Some members of the administration are apparently even advocating a full-blown invasion of Syria.  

For example, it is being reported that National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster has come up with a plan to send 150,000 U.S. ground troops into the country...

As NSA, McMaster's job is to synthesize intellience reports from all other agencies. President Trump is being given an inaccurate picture of the situation in Syria, as McMaster is seeking to involve the U.S. in a full scale war in Syria.

The McMaster-Petraeus plan calls for 150,000 American ground troops in Syria.

Many special operations veterans including General Joseph Votel have raised serious concerns about McMaster's plans for Syria.

I don't know if I have the words to describe how incredibly foolish that would be.

Do we really want to fight an extremely bloody ground war with the combined forces of Russia, Iran, Syria and Hezbollah?

There is very little good that could come out of a war in Syria even in the most rosy scenarios possible, but if things go bad they could go really, really bad.

Meanwhile, NBC News is reporting that President Trump is considering various military options for North Korea, and one of those options includes "killing dictator Kim Jong-Un"...

The National Security Council has presented President Donald Trump with options to respond to North Korea's nuclear program -- including putting American nukes in South Korea or killing dictator Kim Jong-un, multiple top-ranking intelligence and military officials told NBC News.

After seeing what happened in Syria and hearing these threats openly discussed in the U.S. media, what do you think Kim Jong-Un is thinking at this point?

One member of Congress is warning that "millions can die" if a military strike against North Korea goes badly.  

Once U.S. missiles begin flying, North Korea can start firing off their nukes and their vast arsenal of chemical warheads almost instantly.

Could you imagine what would happen if large numbers of deadly nerve gas warheads started exploding in downtown Seoul, downtown Tokyo and at U.S. military bases in Japan?

The carnage would be off the charts, and this is a scenario that we want to avoid at all costs.

Unfortunately, it seems like we are coming closer to a conflict with North Korea with each passing day.  

In fact, today we learned that an aircraft carrier strike group headed by the USS Carl Vinson is sailing in the direction of North Korea right now...

Amid rising tensions with North Korea, an aircraft carrier strike group led by the USS Carl Vinson were heading toward the Korean peninsula.

The aircraft carrier and its accompanying ships had been scheduled to leave from Singapore for port visits to Australia on Saturday, but Adm. Harry Harris, head of U.S. Pacific Command, ordered the strike group to head north toward Korean waters instead.

So what happens if the U.S. starts fighting two major wars simultaneously, the biggest debt bubble in the history of the planet starts bursting, and the U.S. stock market crashes by 50 percent as some analysts are projecting?

Some Americans still have memories of living through the Great Depression and World War II, but most of us have been living in a bubble of peace and prosperity for so long that we don't think that anything could ever come along and threaten our way of life.

And since the election of Donald Trump, interest in "prepping" has dropped to the lowest level that I have ever seen.  

Most people have been lulled into a false sense of security, while the truth is that we have entered perhaps the most dangerous period of time in modern American history.

So you all can do whatever you want, but me and my house are going to get prepared for the tremendous storm that is about to hit this nation.

Those that are wise will do the same, but unfortunately most Americans are going to get absolutely blindsided by what is coming.

Will The U.S. Be Drawn Into Fighting Two Major Wars Simultaneously

RED LINE: Putin Says Russia And Iran Will Respond With 'Real War' To Any Further US Strikes In Syria • Now The End Begins

Russian and Iranian forces last night
warned Donald Trump they would retaliate with military action if he
launched more airstrikes on Syria.

“The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.” Isaiah 17:1 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE:
4 days after a US missile strikes on Syria in retaliation for Assad’s
chemical attack on his own people, Putin has issued a statement and it’s
quite the doozy. In short, he said that if President Trump strikes
again anywhere in Syria for any reason, that both Russia and Iran would
‘respond with real war’. Wha…?? How did Iran just get in the picture?
That gray blur that sped across the screen as you read this is end times
prophecy leaping off the pages of the Bible. Tick, tock, tick…

In an ominous threat raising the prospect of war, they said the US President had crossed a ‘red line’ with his surprise missile bombardment on Bashar al-Assad’s forces.

‘From now on we will respond with force to any breach of red lines and America knows our ability to respond well,’ the military chiefs said in a joint statement with Hezbollah.

China Moves 150,000 Troops To North Korea Border In Event Of Pre-Emptive Strike By United States • Now The End Begins

While the catalyst is unclear, it appears the market dropped as headlines of further sanctions against Russia appeared and reports of China deploying 150,000 troops to its North Korea border.

According to Korean news agency Chosun, the
“Chinese army has deployed about 150,000 troops to the North Korean
border in two groups to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.” The
reason: the prospect of “military options”, such as preemptive attacks
on North Korea, like the one the United States launched on Syria.

Translated into English via Google Translate:

As the United States announced
its independent North Korean behavior and moved the United States
Navy’s nuclear-powered Calvinus (CVN-70) carrier class to Singapore, the
Chinese army has deployed about 150,000 troops in two groups to prepare
for unforeseen circumstances.

“The report said. It is because of
the prospect of taking “military options”, such as preemptive attacks on
North Korea, just as the United States has launched an air raid on
Syria.

Japan’s Sankei Shimbun reported on the 9th that the Syrian
missile strike in the United States shocked China, suggesting that the
People’s Liberation Army forces are moving toward the Yalu River, .

The
newspaper said the video was also broadcast on the Internet, but the
authorities removed the relevant information, saying the move was a
medical and aft support unit for the Shenyang bulb (the northern light
bulb).

There is an observation that medical and back-up support
units will be dispatched to “train for North Korean refugees,” the
newspaper added.

On the same day, the Northern Bulb of China’s
Tohoku District Defense Command issued the orders for full-scale
pre-emptive orders to all the submarine and submarine units on the same
day, while the 16th, 23, 39, and 40th group troops in the North Korean
border area.

These media assume that the Kiryuolbun and the eagle
training of the two countries will end the month of this month when the
emergency situation on the Korean peninsula is eradicated and Kim Jong
Eun and the North Korean leadership are removed and the weapons of mass
destruction of North Korea are destroyed. And that he took the same
action.

The core units that respond immediately to the drastic
changes in North Korea are the 39th group and the 40th group, each of
which has its headquarters in Yingkou and Jinzhou in Liaoning Province.
The 39th group is a heavy army mechanized unit and the 40th group is the
rapid reaction group. (translated from South Korean site chosun.com)

President Trump Orders U.S. Navy Strike Force USS Carl Vinson To Waters Off North Korea As Tensions Mount • Now The End Begins

A U.S. Navy strike group will be moving toward the western Pacific
Ocean near the Korean peninsula as a show of force, a U.S. official told
Reuters on Saturday, as concerns grow about North Korea’s advancing
weapons program.

Earlier this month North Korea tested a liquid-fueled Scud missile which only traveled a fraction of its range.

The
strike group, called the USS Carl Vinson, includes an aircraft carrier
and will make its way from Singapore toward the Korean peninsula,
according to the official, who was not authorized to speak to the media
and requested anonymity.

“We feel the increased presence is
necessary,” the official said, citing North Korea’s worrisome behavior.
The news was first reported by Reuters.

Persecuted Christians Suffer “Worst Year Yet,” Mostly Under Islam - Israel News

The persecution of Christians around the world, but especially in the Muslim world, has reached an all-time high—with 2016 being the “worst year yet,” according to Open Doors, which recently released its annual ranking of the top 50 countries where Christians face the most persecution.


Among some of its more significant findings:

• “Islamic extremism” remains the dominant force responsible for the persecution of Christians in 40 of the 50 worst nations;
• Nine of the ten worst nations are Muslim (North Korea being the only non-Islamic);
• “In the top 21 countries on the Open Doors World Watch List [18 of which are Muslim], 100 percent of Christians experience persecution”;
• 1,329 churches were attacked, damaged, or destroyed, mostly in Muslim nations;
• Islamic Somalia is now the second worst nation; there, “If their [Christians’] faith is discovered it means instant death, executed without trial and often on rumor alone”;
• In Nigeria—where more Christians have been slaughtered by Muslims than possibly in any other nation—the killing of Christians went up by 62 percent;
• The nation where the most violent and sexual attacks on Christians take place—Muslim majority Pakistan—rose to the number four spot.
