Xi Jinping was joined by leaders from Russia, North Korea and Iran at the event Wednesday in a display of unity against the West by what has come to be called the ‘Axis of Evil’

The very first story we published back on January 1 of 2020 was on the war games being conducted for the first time ever between China, Russia and Iran. Since that time, this ‘Axis of Evil’ has grown to now include North Korea, and predictably so. Yesterday, leaders from all 4 nations gathered in a powerful and anti-American show of strength in China to watch as President Xi flexed his  muscle in an enormous show of military might. One that made last summer’s military parade by Trump look like an elementary school picnic. Is the Axis of Evil preparing for a battle of biblical proportion? All signs are pointing to it, and that’s the memo.

“And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.” Revelation 9:16 (KJB)

The winds of change are in the air, and not just in Asia. Over in Europe, Emmanuel Macron says that dreams of a Palestinian state are calling to him in the night, and that on September 22nd, he’s going to stand up at the United Nations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman by his side, with the king of Jordan looking on. Over on his Truth Social page , President Donald Trump posted “May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America” Wow. Tick-tock goes the end times clock…

China parades its military might, and its friends, in a defiant display for the U.S.

FROM NBC NEWS: More than 50,000 people filled Tiananmen Square in the Chinese capital on Wednesday for a huge military parade showcasing the rapid evolution of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). It marked the culmination of a week of high-level diplomacy and years of work by Chinese leader Xi Jinping to challenge America’s dominance on the global stage.

Poking out of the sunroof of a moving limousine, Xi conducted a troop review at the start of the parade, which celebrated the 80th anniversary of Imperial Japan’s surrender at the end of World War II. China then unveiled dozens of its latest weapons, including nuclear-capable missiles that can be launched from the air, ground or sea, as well as lasers, undersea drones and a “highly intelligent” tank, before concluding the parade with the release of 80,000 doves and 80,000 balloons.

Xi was joined by leaders from Russia, North Korea and Iran in a display of unity against the West by what has come to be called the “Axis of Upheaval.” They are all central players in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine, which shows no signs of ending despite President Donald Trump’s push for peace.

Kim Jong Un has sent Moscow both troops and weapons, while U.S. officials say Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has supplied drones. Though Xi has strived to assert neutrality in the conflict, he has provided Russia with a diplomatic and economic lifeline.

The U.S. and other Western governments largely stayed away from the parade, in part because of Putin’s presence.

That hardly seemed to matter to Xi, Putin and Kim, who ascended the rostrum overlooking the parade together in their first joint public appearance.

“The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable,” Xi said in remarks opening the parade. “The noble cause of peace and development for humanity will surely triumph.”

Foreign media was heavily controlled, with authorities prohibiting journalists from so much as pointing a phone in the direction of the three leaders. The parade was closely watched around the world, including by Trump, who posted not long after it started to ask whether Xi would also honor U.S. troops who died supporting China against Japanese occupation during the war.

“May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.” READ MORE

India attacks Pakistan with air strikes in ‘Operation Sindoor’: Nine ‘terrorist camps’ hit as Karachi threatens to retaliate – prompting fears of war between the two nuclear-armed states

India is calling it ‘Operation Sindoor’, and it began a short while ago with a series of intense airstrikes on regions held by Pakistan in Kashmir. Both India and Pakistan have a nuclear arsenal prompting fear in nearby nations. The main source of contention is Kashmir which is controlled by both India and Pakistan. India says they were just rooting out terrorist activity against Indians in the region of Kashmir they control, while Pakistan says they launched a “cowardly attack on civilians”. Neither is seems willing to deescalate as of this writing. That’s the memo.

“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.” Luke 21:9 (KJB)

Right now, there are enough simmering and smouldering regionalized tensions in the Middle East and Near East that a war seems not only possible but probable. Add Europe to the mix with Russia and Ukraine, and you have the WWIII we’ve been warning you about for some time. It’s coming, and that’s a fact. This is a breaking news story and we will update as new information becomes available.

India has attacked Pakistan as tensions soar between the two nuclear powers as WWIII fears abound

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: India fired missiles across the border into nine Pakistani ‘terror camps’ in PakistanI-controlled Kashmir, days after it blamed Islamabad for a deadly attack on the Indian side of the contested region.

‘A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed’, a statement from the Indian Armed forces said. No military facilities were targeted in the strikes, the statement added.

The strikes came amid soaring tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors over last month’s militant attack on tourists in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir. India has blamed Pakistan for backing the militant attack, which Islamabad has denied.  The missiles struck locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in the country’s eastern Punjab province early Wednesday, according to three Pakistani security officials.

One of them struck a mosque in the city of Bahawalpur in Punjab, where a child was killed, and a woman and man were injured, one official said. The officials said Pakistan had launched retaliatory strikes, without providing any details. The Pakistani army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif, told ARY News that the missiles were launched from within Indian territory and that no Indian aircraft had entered Pakistani airspace.

‘This was a cowardly attack targeting innocent civilians under the cover of darkness,’ Sharif told the broadcaster.

India’s Defense Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday: ‘Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistan military facilities have been targeted,’ the statement said, adding that ‘India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.’

‘We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable,’ the statement added.

The Indian army has also posted to X tonight writing that ‘Justice is Served’ and ‘Jai Hind!!’, which translates to ‘victory to India’. READ MORE

President of South Korea Yoon Suk-Yeol stunned the world on Tuesday morning by declaring a state of ’emergency martial law’ because “subversive, anti-state elements” among the opposition are blocking his agenda.

Martial law commander Park An-su issued a statement on Tuesday declaring that “all political activities, including those of the National Assembly, local councils, political parties, and political associations, as well as assemblies and demonstrations, are strictly prohibited. All media and publications shall be subject to the control of the Martial Law Command.” The Rapture Ready Index says things are in ‘get ready to fly’ mode, and we whole-heartedly agree.

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” Titus 2:13 (KJB)

Earlier today, we told you how Emmanuel Macron, our pick for the biblical man of sin, is in Saudi Arabia signing a covenant with Mohammed bin Salman to broker peace in the Middle East. Now we see that South Korea has declared martial law on their own people, presumably to protect against ‘military aggression’ from pro-North Korean Communist agitators. Well, that may be true, and may not be true. It is also quite possible that President Yoon Suk-Yeol may have declared himself to be dictator over South Korea. In any event, things are not boring here on Day 1,773 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve.

South Korea Declares Martial Law to Foil ‘Subversive Anti-State Elements’

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Martial law has not been declared in South Korea since it emerged from military dictatorship in the 1980s. The South Korean Defense Ministry announced that key commanders from all of South Korea’s armed forces met to “strengthen emergency preparedness” and discuss implementation of Yoon’s order.

“I declare martial law to protect the Republic of Korea from the threats of North Korean communist forces, to immediately eradicate the unscrupulous pro-Pyongyang anti-state forces that pillage the freedom and happiness of our people and to protect free constitutional order,” Yoon said in an emergency press conference from his office in Seoul.

Yoon accused the opposition of “paralyzing the courts in the country by threatening the judges and impeaching prosecutors, and by attempting to remove the Interior Minister, top broadcasting regulator, chief of the Board of Audit and Inspection, and the Defense Minister.” Yoon also said the opposition’s move to cut $2.8 billion from the $483 billion 2025 national budget was a scheme to paralyze his government. The opposition wants to deny extra spending for the presidential office, prosecutors, and police requested in Yoon’s budget.

The president’s supporters say one reason for these cuts is to undermine court cases against opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, who was convicted of election law violations last month. Yoon referred to the National Assembly, where Lee’s Democratic Party holds 170 out of 300 seats, as a “hotbed of criminals” in his declaration of martial law.

On Monday, the speaker of parliament froze voting on the budget until December 10. Yoon said on Tuesday that martial law would remain in effect until he could “eradicate such anti-state forces and the culprits of the country’s ruin who have committed evil acts up until now.”

“The declaration of martial law will cause some inconveniences for good citizens who believed in and followed the constitutional values of free people, but we will focus on minimizing such inconveniences,” he said.

Yoon said these inconveniences were necessary to “guarantee the people’s freedom, safety and national sustainability against the actions of anti-state forces seeking to overthrow the system.”

“I will wipe out anti-state forces as soon as possible and normalize the country’s operation,” he promised. “Please trust me.” READ MORE
