FAIRLY UNBALANCED: As $71 Billion Dollar Disney Merger Deal Prepares To Finalize, Fox News Is Being Transformed Into A Progressive Liberal Platform

The Walt Disney Company’s $71.3 billion purchase of key 21st Century Fox properties will close on Wednesday, ushering in a Liberal new age for Fox News.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Walt Disney Company’s $71.3 billion purchase of key 21st Century Fox properties will close on Wednesday, expanding Disney’s Hollywood holdings while creating a new Fox Corporation featuring a streamlined media portfolio focused on television and news assets.

Over the past week, two key events took place that will tell you everything you  need to know about what type of news outlet the new Fox station will be. First, Fox ordered that Conservative opinion show ‘Judge Jeanine‘ be dropped because she told the truth about Muslim congresswoman Rep. Ilhan Omar. The second thing that happened was the announcement that ultra-Liberal and former Democratic National Committee chief Donna Brazile would be getting her own show. Welcome to the “new” Fox News. Ugh…

Regular readers of NTEB were warned of the coming transition way back in 2017, when we warned you that Rupert Murdoch’s son James had plans to reinvent Fox News as a Liberal Progressive outlet. James Murdoch’s wife Kathryn is as anti-Trump as they come, and is a former employee of the now-defunct Clinton Foundation’s Climate Change program. At the time, James Murdoch was quoted as saying ““Fox News is an important brand, but it needs to develop, and, to some extent, be reformed,”. Well, looks like ‘reformation day’ has arrived.

R.I.P. Fox News, as you go the way of all flesh. You have truly and literally become a Mickey Mouse organization, I won’t be watching.

Fox, Disney prepare to close transformative $71.3 billion deal

FROM FOX BUSINESS: For Fox, the sale ushers in a new era for Rupert Murdoch, whose son Lachlan is poised to take the reins of the slimmed-down company — known as Fox Corporation — that will include Fox News, national Fox Sports channels and the Fox broadcast network. It’s also a return to the company’s roots: From a small Australian newspaper, Murdoch built a journalistic juggernaut that now includes The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, The Sun, The Australian and dozens of other newspapers.

For Disney, the purchase bolsters one of Hollywood’s most lucrative catalogs of intellectual property and caps off a pricey wave of purchases under the leadership of CEO Bob Iger, who could leave the media conglomerate in 2021 with the envious portfolio of Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm and Pixar — all combined with studio 20th Century Fox’s decades of content.

It also serves as a centerpiece of Disney’s newest offering: a streaming platform packed with what analysts call an unrivaled TV and film library poised to differentiate it from the slew of other rivals in a fiercely competitive new market. Alongside its own plans, the deal will give the Burbank-based company a majority stake in Hulu — which Iger wants to expand internationally with a stronger slate of original content.

Disney “spends more on content than anyone else globally, it has decades of experience in making excellent content, it has a huge balance sheet with low leverage and it’s a brand that’s known the world over,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Steven Cahall wrote in a December note.

Announced in December 2017, the acquisition shocked the news and entertainment industries and left insiders questioning why Murdoch was opting to dismantle a Hollywood juggernaut built over the last 34 years.

Analysts and others rushed to figure out how the separation of the 20th Century Fox studio and other possessions would reshape the sector, while competitor Comcast scrambled to put in its own offer for the sprawling production empire – setting off a bidding war that would last well into the next year. Disney ultimately prevailed after increasing its offer from the original $52.8 billion.

While the companies sought global regulatory approval for the deal, they each acted quickly to lay the groundwork for their soon-to-be revamped operating structures. A slew of former Fox executives are poised to make the transition to the new company, but potentially thousands of layoffs are expected at Disney as it works to eliminate redundancies and integrate the new members of its portfolio.

Fox began trading on Wall Street on Tuesday as the new entity and the company rolled out its revamped board of directors, which now includes former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Formula One Group CEO Chase Carey.

The new Fox entity will focus on advertising revenue and earnings from pay TV providers to drive growth, but some analysts warn it could be slow initially.

“While we continue to believe new Fox’s TV network portfolio has pricing power and may prove to be a better positioned portfolio than the larger [21st Century Fox’s], revenue growth will be lumpy,” Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne wrote in a note.

The firm heads into its new chapter after a strong February for its FOX News Digital division, which topped CNN with 1.5 billion total multi-platform views – a 9 percent year-over-year growth. Lachlan Murdoch is expected to address employees at a town hall address on Thursday.

At The Annual Christmas Parade In Dalton, Georgia, The Gospel Truth Jail Ministry Gives A Huge Shoutout To Bibles Behind Bars On Their Float

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Gospel Truth Jail Ministry gave Bibles Behind Bars an awesome shoutout with the float in the annual Christmas parade in Dalton, Georgia

Pastor Rick wrote to me the other day and said “Hello Bro. Grider, we are entering a Ministry Float in the Dalton Christmas parade. We are recognizing both ministries. It will be December 4th at 6: PM. We want our local community to be aware of the need and blessing of the local jail ministry. We will have a couple of men dressed as inmates on the float and a couple of preachers witnessing to them, and about four more dressed as inmates walking along the street beside the float. I thought you would like to see this. Look at the BIBLE BEHIND BARS logo. Thank you again for supplying the Word of God to the men.” Blessed beyond words.

“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalm 68:11 (KJB)

What started out as just a case or two of King James Bibles we sent in response to an email from Bro. Micah Hedges up in Georgia back in 2020, has grown to Bibles Behind Bars literally blanketing the jails in north Georgia with thousands of Bibles through our association with the Gospel Truth Jail Ministry. What an honor it was for them to recognize us on their Christmas parade float, and we very much appreciate that. It is also a prescient reminder to me that we are working against a ticking clock as we watch the Church Age coming to a close and that ‘voice like a trumpet’ getting ready to sound. Just one more soul!

The United States Continues Pouring A Massive Amount Of Troops And Weaponry Into The Caribbean For Soon Coming War With Maduro And Venezuela

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The U.S. military is moving more weapons and units into the Caribbean that give President Trump powerful new options to escalate his pressure campaign on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and potentially bring him down.

The Trump administration has poured an extraordinary amount of firepower into the Caribbean basin: stealth fighters, electronic warfare aircraft, naval strike groups, surveillance drones, and refueling assets staged within striking distance of Venezuela. Officially, this is about narcotics trafficking and sanctions enforcement. In reality, it is about leverage, regime pressure, oil of course, and the unmistakable message that war is coming. Just ask the Secretary of WAR if peace is the goal. It’s not.

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 (KJB)

The Caribbean has not seen this level of sustained U.S. military concentration in decades. Warships patrol key shipping lanes. Advanced aircraft operate from nearby islands. Surveillance assets blanket the region. And now, with the seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and increasingly blunt rhetoric from President Trump, the mask is slipping. This is not a defensive posture, it’s a staging posture. This is not for peace, this is for war. History shows that major conflicts rarely begin with an announcement — they begin with “deterrence,” “security operations,” and “limited enforcement actions.” The language changes only after the first shots are fired. The Caribbean is becoming another chessboard square in a rapidly tightening global game — one that ends, according to Scripture, not with American victory or global peace treaties, but with the rise of Antichrist and the collapse of man’s systems.

United States Pours More Firepower Into the Caribbean as Trump Ramps Up Threats against Venezuela

FROM THE WSJ: After weeks of deadly boat strikes and the seizure of an oil tanker, the Pentagon is sending assets that could enable land strikes, disable Venezuela’s defenses and enforce an oil embargo—posing a direct threat not only to Maduro but to his regional allies such as Cuba. F-35A stealth jet fighters, EA-18G Growler electronic warfare planes, HH-60W rescue helicopters and HC-130J rescue planes are being staged in Puerto Rico, according to photographs and flight tracking data. Tanker aircraft that can refuel bombers and jet fighters midair have been moved to the Dominican Republic in recent days. Such aircraft could play a key role in any potential attacks on land, analysts say.

The deployments add to the significant amount of combat power that the U.S. has already shifted to the region in recent months, including 11 warships, MQ-9 Reaper drones, F-35B jet fighters and P-8 Poseidon spy planes, among other weaponry. The arrival of the USS Gerald R. Ford last month brought dozens of aircraft into the region that could also be used in airstrikes. Some of the latest aircraft movements were reported by the War Zone.

Trump has threatened to up the ante by attacking targets on land after months of bombing alleged drug-smuggling boats off the coast of Venezuela and beyond. The administration also seized an oil tanker full of Venezuelan crude earlier this week, opening a new front in the White House’s pressure campaign.

Trump has also said that he has authorized covert CIA operations in Venezuela.

“We’ve been watching the efforts to intimidate us,” Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino said in an address Friday, referring to American aircraft near Venezuelan territory. “We ask humbly, don’t be mistaken. We’re ready to defend this country. You’re not going to intimidate us.”

Military analysts say the recent movement of equipment further signals the administration’s intent to carry out combat operations. The buildup also means the U.S. has the resources in place to seize more oil tankers if Trump chooses to do so.

“I think what’s important about the forces and capabilities that are moving into the theater is that they are optimized to conduct precision, stealthy strikes that can minimize collateral damage,” said Heather Penney, a former fighter pilot and director of studies and research at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, an aerospace think tank. “All of them together work in concert to open up the battlespace and conduct precision strikes with minimum risk to U.S. forces. And of course, you have a search-and-rescue team there just in case.”

Regional analysts and former government officials have warned that U.S. military action in Venezuela could spiral into a wider crisis across Latin America. Cuba, which suffers from a fragile economy and severe energy shortages, relies on Venezuela for oil. Any conflict could also quickly spill across the porous borders with Colombia, where armed groups rule much of the frontier. READ MORE

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: After Seizing A Venezuelan Ship And Stealing Its Oil, It’s Becoming Obvious That Trump Wants To Be A Wartime President

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

‘President of Peace’ Donald Trump but is really acting as the Lord of War as he increases military provocations in South America and elsewhere around the globe

President Trump ordered U.S. forces (Coast Guard + Navy) to seize a large oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, an unprecedented use of military force against a vessel tied to a foreign nation. Venezuela condemned it as “piracy,” and critics warn it could escalate tensions toward war with Maduro’s government. Not only that, when asked what he planned to do with the 1.1 million gallons of oil on the tanker, he replied “I think we’ll keep it”. Who’s ready for ‘total war”? It’s coming.

“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.” Proverbs 21:31 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Donald Trump calls himself the ‘president of peace’ while doing anything and everything he can do to prepare for war. Talk about your cognitive dissonance. Remember when candidate Trump promised to “end the war” in Ukraine on “day one”? Not only has he not done that, he just gave them $800 million over the next two years to keep the war going. In addition to what the US is doing in Venezuela, Trump has also threatened the Colombian President Gustavo Petro, saying “he’ll be next”. Even though he claims to be working for peace, everything coming out of the Trump administration is screaming war. You’d have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not see it. Today we show you the coming wartime presidency of Donald Trump, we’ll give you updates on aliens and fallen angels, Charismatic demon possession, and just about everything else you need to know here on Day 2,097 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve. TO THE FIGHT!!!
