A wake up call for America: stop pressing snooze

Unless you have been hiding in an igloo like Al Gore has during these frigid temps, most of us know about the events in Egypt. However, what a lot of us don’t know is how this directly relates to America.There are three basic points America must understand in order to grasp somewhat of an idea of what is happening, what Americans should learn from the current situation and where we go from here.

There are three basic points America must understand in order to grasp somewhat of an idea of what is happening, what Americans should learn from the current situation and where we go from here.

OIL: The uprising in Egypt should serve as a reminder to all Americans that we must drill for oil here and we must do it now! How hypocritical of the left to wave their anti-war sign ‘’no more blood for oil” but yet due to their over sensitive environmental concerns, America is prohibited from domestic drilling and forced to protect our sources overseas. The left is screaming about how we shouldn’t be supporting dictators like Mubarak and nations like Saudi Arabia (hmm…didn’t see them up in arms concerning the brutal dictator Saddam Hussein) and they are absolutely right. However, thanks to them they have put us in this situation because their fear of killing a water bug overrides that of national security.

The events in Egypt also serve as a reminder as to what took place in 1973 when OAPEC (Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries) placed an embargo on oil because America supported Israel in the Yom Kippur war thus exploding oil prices and creating a real problem for Americans to refuel at the pump. This is just the tip of the ice berg as to what can happen when we place our biggest necessity in the hands of regimes that have the oil joystick at America’s expense. The Muslim Brotherhood just recently called to cut off the Suez Canal where if that happened, it would remove two to three million barrels a day of oil. America must stop putting ourselves in this vulnerable spot.

DEFENSE FIRST: Those of us who remember the morning of September 11, 2001 as if it were yesterday, realize America is vulnerable to those who wish to harm us. That is why when America elects an administration that does not have America’s safety as the number one priority; it presents an opportunity for America’s enemies to not only attack us but America’s allies. I’m not saying that the economy isn’t important. What I am saying is that if America awakes one day to an EMP attack (electro-magnetic pulse) which would place us a lot further back than the Great Depression, we can kiss goodbye debating about renewable energy and electric cars because American’s will be peddling Flintstone style.

What is taking place in Egypt is a clear example of what can happen within other nations where terrorist groups lurk to take over and initiate their Islamic Jihad goals. I hear a lot of pundits talk about Jordan, Turkey and Syria perhaps following suit however the one nation that hasn’t been mentioned as much is Pakistan or as Obama says in his language: Pahk-ee-stahn. Pakistan is on its way to becoming the fifth largest nuclear state and there are already rumors of a possible uprising taking place. No worry though because the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is really going to increase America’s military numbers! We’ll be able to stretch our military from sea to shining sea for sure now!

If America doesn’t put our defense on the forefront, every single issue we are trying to tackle will be meaningless. Unless we flex our military muscles just like Iran, China, North Korea and Venezuela are doing, America is going to be caught way off guard. I guess as in the case of Barack, if you have no muscles to flex that is the opportune time for radical regimes to rise up.

PROTECTING ISRAEL: Fear is raging, and it is raging through the veins of our dearest ally in the Middle East ,Israel. Israel has seen this ‘’uprising’’ before and they have every single right to be concerned. In 1979 the Shah was ousted due to the ‘’uprising’’ of the Iranian people and over time turned into Israel’s biggest threat today: Ahmadenijad and his plan to wipe Israel off the map. I don’t care what the name of the group is infiltrating the uprising in Egypt. I don’t care if it’s the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, or any other group. They all share the same common goal: to annihilate Israel. As news networks try to trace the beginnings of the Muslim Brotherhood and banter back and forth as to whether or not they truly are a threat, all one has to do is take it from the horse’s mouth. Mohamed Ghanem, one of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as of yesterday called on Egypt to refrain from pumping gas to Israel and prepare the Egyptian people for war with Israel. He also stated the Egyptian police won’t be able to stop the Muslim Brotherhood. America needs to quit getting distracted by the intricacies and start looking at the bigger pictures. Jihad is Jihad. It doesn’t matter what name one puts in front. It is the Third Jihad according to them and the final Jihad to implement total world chaos. Radical Muslims don’t worry about whether we are Democrat or Republican. They look at us as a whole; Americans. All these groups are a whole: Umma ushers.

Israel has expressed their desire that Mubarak remain in power for now because they fear a second take on what took place in Iran. Israel was upset when Obama stepped right out in his usual ‘’non supportive Israel’’ attire and supported the ousting of Mubarak going even further to imply his ok with the Muslim Brotherhood being part of the government so long as it’s done Democratically. Democratically in the same way Hitler was voted in Obama? Just want to clear that up. Obama has absolutely no discernment. He can’t discern good from evil. As Scripture tells us, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness” Isaiah 5:20. Unfortunately, many American’s are still floating in that very same sea of deception.

Regardless of what any Liberal, MSNBC correspondent, or ACLU lawyer says, politics and religion are entwined and the proof of that is happening before our very eyes. Everything that is taking place in the Middle East is and will ultimately center on the nation of Israel. If Israel asks America to stand with her during this time of major vulnerability for the nation, America must do so. America’s future rests on our relationship with Israel.

It’s interesting to see the Democrats and Liberals jumping on the ‘’Democracy in the Middle East” band wagon. They sure didn’t do this for Iraq and Afghanistan! I guess former President Bush’s point that a more stable Middle East correlates with a securer America. So many laughed at that idea but now some of that truth is revealing itself on our televisions.

As we watch the events unfold in Egypt, let this serve as a reminder that we must protect our nation and if that is through becoming dependent on domestic oil or putting defense back to the forefront of the American agenda so be it. Most of all, we must look at these events on a much larger spectrum. We must see what all of these nations are doing and regardless of name what their ultimate goal is. We must ask ourselves why one tiny nation would pose such a major threat to its much larger surrounding nations.

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” Zechariah 12:3

PROPHECY NEWS MIDWEEK UPDATE: Today Is Day #7 Of A Complete And Total Media Blackout Of Benjamin Netanyahu Who Has Nothing To Say About The War

Where Is Bibi? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Missing From Public View Since March 12 As Deafening Media Silence Raises Serious Questions

A sitting Israeli prime minister like Benjamin ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu does not just “disappear” from public view for days on end without explanation — not in a region that is the geopolitical epicenter of the world, and certainly not in a time when every move in the Middle East is tied directly to end times momentum. When the cameras go dark and the microphones go silent, that’s not transparency — that’s control. This is exactly the kind of thing that should make people stop, look twice, and start asking real questions instead of passively consuming whatever narrative is handed to them.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:15 (KJB)

And let’s be honest about something: if this were any other world leader, the corporate media would be running 24/7 countdown clocks, panels of “experts,” and breathless speculation. But here? Near-total silence. That tells you everything you need to know.

The question isn’t just “Where is Bibi?” — the question is why aren’t they telling you? This is how narrative management works. Information is not released based on truth — it’s released based on timing, strategy, and desired outcome. When something doesn’t fit the script, it gets buried, delayed, or outright ignored. That’s not journalism, that’s gatekeeping. From a prophetic standpoint, Israel is always front and center, exactly where your King James Bible says it will be. Everything that happens in that tiny strip of land has global consequences, and leaders like Netanyahu are not just political figures — they are key players on a stage that is moving, inch by inch, toward the time of Jacob’s trouble. You are watching the pieces move.

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7 (KJB)

Whether this absence is strategic, medical, political, or something else entirely, one thing is certain — when information is withheld, it is because someone, somewhere, has decided you are better off not knowing. And that is always when you should lean in closer, not back away. Keep your eyes open. Watch Israel. Watch the silence just as much as you watch the headlines. Because sometimes what they don’t say is the biggest story of all.

FALSE FLAG ALERT: As Unidentified Drones Tauntingly Fly Over The Homes Of Marco Rubio And Pete Hegseth, The Pentagon Is Apparently Powerless To Stop It

U.S. officials detected unidentified drones above the Washington Army base where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live, according to three people briefed on the situation.

Let’s not pretend this is normal. You’re being told in the news this morning that drones — some of them possibly drones from foreign-made Shahed-type platforms — are flying over or near sensitive locations tied to high-level government figures like Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth… and that, according to Pete Hegseth, the all-powerful and maximumly lethal Department of War is essentially shrugging its shoulders and unable to do anything about it? We’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it ends.

“Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.” Zechariah 5:1 (KJB)

The same Pentagon that can track a heat signature halfway across the world, the same system that can lock onto a moving target from space, the same military that spends hundreds of billions of dollars annually on air defense, radar, and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) — suddenly can’t identify or stop a handful of slow-moving drones over domestic airspace? That can only mean one thing – get ready for a major false flag event. World War Trump is not going as planned, and people really haven’t done their patriotic duty to forget about the Epstein Files, so cue the ‘Jersey Drones’ and let’s get ourselves a distraction. I know this much, if our government cannot, or will not, stop drones from flying over the homes of important cabinet members like Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, what do you think they’ll do for me and you? You know.

Drones over base where Rubio, Hegseth live raise security concerns

FROM THE WASHINGTON POST: The military is monitoring potential threats more closely because of the heightened alert level as the United States and Israel strike Iran, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters. Multiple drones were spotted over Fort Lesley J. McNair on a single night in the last 10 days, the official said, prompting increased security measures and a meeting at the White House to discuss how to respond.

The drone sightings in Washington come as the U.S. issued a global security alert for overseas diplomatic posts and locked down several domestic bases because of threats. This week, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey and MacDill Air Force Base in Florida raised their force protection level to Charlie — a designation that means the commander has intelligence indicating an attack or danger is possible. The only higher alert level, Delta, is for when an attack has occurred or is anticipated.

The drones over Fort McNair prompted officials to weigh relocating Rubio and Hegseth, two of the people briefed said. The senior administration official said the secretaries haven’t moved. Their quarters on the base were publicly reported by multiple outlets in October. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell declined to discuss the drones. “The department cannot comment on the secretary’s movements for security reasons, and reporting on such movements is grossly irresponsible,” he said. The State Department did not respond to requests for comment.

Twice this week officials locked down facilities at MacDill Air Force Base, home to U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. military operations against Iran. The FBI is now investigating a suspicious package that closed the base’s visitors center for hours Monday, and on Wednesday an unspecified security incident left the base under a shelter-in-place order for hours, the base said in a statement.

“To ensure the safety and security of our people and the mission, commanders adjust their installation’s security posture in accordance with local threat assessments,” an Air Force spokesperson said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the State Department ordered all U.S. diplomatic posts worldwide to “immediately” undertake security evaluations, citing “the ongoing and developing situation in the Middle East and the potential for spillover effects,” according to a cable reviewed by The Washington Post.

Fort McNair houses the National Defense University and some of the Pentagon’s most senior military officials. The base has not traditionally housed political leaders, but a growing number of Trump officials, including outgoing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem, have moved onto area bases, citing security concerns. McNair is conveniently located close to Capitol Hill and the White House. But it does not have the same safety buffer as other bases in the capital region.

Similar drone threats surfaced surrounding President Donald Trump and other top officials in recent years as Iranian leaders sought revenge for the U.S. strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in 2020, according to U.S. officials spanning both the Trump and Biden administrations.

Chaplain Huseth At The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Correctional Center In Alabama Has Reached Out To Let Us Know Of Their Need For Bibles

Inmates Inside Baldwin County Jail In Alabama Are Actively Asking For King James Bibles As Chaplain Huseth Reaches Out With Urgent Need

The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Corrections Center (BCSCC) is a full-service detention facility located in Bay Minette, Alabama. Operated by the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO), it houses adult male and female inmates, including pre-trial detainees, those serving misdemeanor sentences, and federal inmates under contract with the U.S. Marshals Service. In 2025, they underwent a $70 million dollar expansion of their faculties, not a penny of which was allocated to purchasing Bibles. Chaplain Huseth can’t find Bibles for his inmates anywhere, so he turned to us.

“Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;” Colossians 1:25 (KJB)

While most of the world rushes headlong into darkness, something very different is happening behind the locked doors of the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Correctional Center in Alabama. Chaplain Huseth has reached out to Bibles Behind Bars with an urgent request—not for programs, not for counseling, not for religion—but for King James Bibles. They don’t want entertainment. They don’t want rehabilitation theory. They want the word of God.

Inside those cells are men and women who have run out of road. The noise is gone and the distractions have faded away. And for many of them, perhaps for the first time in their lives, they are being forced to think about sin, judgment, and eternity. And when that happens, something incredible begins to take place, they start asking for a Bible. That’s not coincidence. That’s the Holy Spirit of God moving in a place most people will never go.

We have seen it again and again through Bibles Behind Bars: jailhouses turning into mission fields, hardened criminals sitting quietly reading Scripture, and men who never cared about God suddenly unable to put the Book down. Because when the word of God goes in, everything changes. Right now, Baldwin County is wide open. Right now, souls are ready. Right now, there is a chaplain standing in the gap asking for the one thing that can actually change a man from the inside out. The question isn’t whether the need is real. The question is—will we answer it? We need you, Christian, come help us!
