Nicholas Winton, Who Saved Hundreds Of Jewish Children From Hitler’s Holocaust, Dies At 106

Dubbed the “British Schindler,” Winton helped 669 Jewish children avoid a grim fate by smuggling them out of Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 (KJV)

Sir Nicholas Winton — the British man who saved more than 650 children from certain death in Holocaust concentration camps by smuggling them out of Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia and into Britain, only to keep his heroism a secret for half a century — died Wednesday at age 106.

“It is with much sadness we have to report that Sir Nicky Winton died peacefully early this morning,” the club said in a statement. “Nicky’s daughter Barbara and two grandchildren were with him when he died and Barbara said that he was aware of their presence.” His death was confirmed by the Rotary Club in the English town of Maidenhead, of which he was a former president.

It is estimated some 6,000 people around the world have descended from the 669 Jewish children whose escape from the Nazis Winton helped to mastermind. According to his local Maidenhead newspaper, Winton died exactly 76 years to the day that a train left Prague carrying 241 children he helped to save.

“The world has lost a great man,” British Prime Minister David Cameron said Wednesday. “We must never forget Sir Nicholas Winton’s humanity in saving so many children from the Holocaust.”

Born May 19, 1909, Winton was a 29-year-old stockbroker when he decided to cancel a planned skiing trip in Switzerland in late 1938 and instead visit Prague, the Czech capital, to assist refugee workers following the Nazi occupation.

The British government had recently voted to allow Jewish refugees under 17 into the country, in response to the series of coordinated attacks against Jews in November 1939 known as Kristallnacht. However, authorities also mandated that the children’s entry into Britain was conditional upon their having a family with which to stay, as well as a deposit of £50 to be used to eventually return them to their home country.

Dreading what fate awaited the children should they remain in a Nazi-controlled territory, Winton worked in Britain to raise funds, navigate the complex international bureaucracy, and convince families to take in the children, while colleagues worked in Prague as part of the “Kindertransport” program.

“One day my father called my brother and me and he said, ‘Sit down boys, you’re going on a long journey’,” one of the rescued children, John Fieldsend, now 84, told the BBC. “As the train was leaving my mother took her wristwatch off, passed it through the window and simply said, ‘Remember us.’”

He was ultimately successful in having eight trainloads of children arrive in London, but a ninth train carrying 250 children was unsuccessful, having been scheduled to leave Prague on Sep. 1, 1939 — the day the Nazis invaded Poland and all borders were closed.

The families of many of the children Winton helped to save would eventually perish in the Holocaust.

“We didn’t know we wouldn’t see our parents again,” another rescued child, Lia Lesser, now 84, told the BBC. “I think they must have known there was a good chance they wouldn’t see us again, and they were very brave to let us go.”

Winton’s heroism was often compared to that of Oskar Schindler, a Nazi party member who secretly helped to save the lives of more than one thousand Jews by employing them in his wartime factories and who was the subject of the 1993 Steven Spielberg film Schindler’s List.

He did not speak publicly about his actions, even to his wife Greta, until she discovered a scrapbook in their attic listing the names of the children saved.

Winton was then was featured on a 1988 British television show — and surprised by numerous people who stood as one when asked, “Is there anyone in our audience tonight who owes their life to Nicholas Winton?

“The world has lost a great man,” British Prime Minister David Cameron said Wednesday. “We must never forget Sir Nicholas Winton’s humanity in saving so many children from the Holocaust.” source

The Enemies Of Israel Take Over Times Square In New York To Stage A Massive Pro-Iran Anti-Zionist Rally Funded Through George Soros Proxy Groups

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The ‘Solidarity of Iran rally’ was organized by the socialist pro-Palestine Bronx Anti-War coalition, which called for support for ‘the brave Iranian and Palestinian people’ and the end of the state of Israel

The Bible says that in the last days, the state of Israel would be a hated and despised entity, and that the Jews would become a ‘proverb’ and a ‘byword’. Read the book of Lamentations sometime, just about everything you read there will be fulfilled again during the upcoming time of Jacob’s trouble. The most recent anti-Israel rally that was held the other day in Socialist New York is an excellent illustration of the global hatred of the state of Israel.

“Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.” 2 Chronicles 7:20 (KJB)

If you are one of those people like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones and all the others who utterly despise the nation of Israel, pay close attention to the verse posted right above what you’re reading right now. God absolutely will judge His people the Jews, and according to the Bible, will cast them out of the land of Israel and allow the armies of Antichrist to come in and destroy everything. Isn’t that great? Doesn’t that make you happy, you Jew-hater, you? But enjoy it while it lasts because after that 7-year time, God is going to come and set up His Kingdom right in the very land you hate so much right now. And the Jews you want to see driven into the sea? They will be your masters. I can’t wait. Am Yisrael Chai.

‘Iran, Iran makes us proud! Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!’ shouted pro-Islamic Republic protesters in New York’s Times Square.

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: The “Solidarity with Iran” rally was organized by the socialist, pro-Palestinian Bronx Anti-War coalition, which called for people to come out in “full force to support the brave Iranian and Palestinian people fighting for all free people worldwide.”

“Iran is defending itself against terrorist aggression from the US and Zionist regimes,” the group said.

According to videos and statements from the rally, protesters chanted, “US drones in the sky, Iran’s missiles will reply!” and “Courts and talks won’t set us free, resistance brings victory!” as well as calling for Tel Aviv to be burned to the ground. Many posters and flags were also held up, including Iranian regime flags, posters saying “a genocidal apartheid state has no right to exist,” and pictures of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Ebrahim Raisi, and Qasem Soleimani.

Multiple members of the fringe anti-Zionist Jewish group Neturei Karta were also there, many of whom were standing on Israeli flags. Videos also circulated on social media of a man dressed as Jesus in Times Square, wearing only a loincloth and covered from head to toe in fake blood, shouting, “F*** Israel,” while attached to a homemade crucifix with the same words.

Just a day earlier, The People’s Forum NYC held a similar rally in Times Square alongside Nodutdol (a Marxist, diasporic Korean organization) “to oppose the Zionist war on Iran [sic].”

“We must not be deceived by Rubio’s lies,” one group member said. “The idea [that] Israel acted unilaterally in bombing Iran is a total fiction.

“By pushing the Zionist attack dog to strike Iran in the middle of diplomatic negotiations, Trump has shown the world that his word and the word of all US imperialists are worthless.”

The group then called for the severance of US financial and military aid to Israel, as well as “international, working-class solidarity against the war-profiteering corporations using mayhem and genocide to line their pockets.” READ MORE

June 19th Is The 23rd Of Sivan In The Hebrew Calendar, And What Happened On That Day In The Book Of Esther May Portend The Next Phase Of Israel’s War With Iran

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In the book of Esther, King Ahasuerus on Sivan 23 issued the decree authorizing the Jews to defend themselves against their enemies, June 19th is Sivan 23.

Sometimes in the Bible you find an amazing nugget, other times you find some fascinating coincidence. This one from the book of Esther is one of those two things, and we will let the reader decide. In Esther 8, we see Mordecai on the authority of King Ahasuerus have a writing written which authorized the Jews to rise up against their enemies, which result in the ‘good day’ celebrated every year on the Feast of Purim. Sivan 23 was not only a ‘good day’ for the Jews, it was a game-changer of a day. Do you know what tomorrow, June 19th is, on the Hebrew calendar? The 23rd of Sivan. That’s the memo.

“Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.” Esther 8:9 (KJB)

How does this tie in with the war in the Middle East happening right now between Israel and Iran? For the past 72 hours, Donald Trump has dropped clue after clue that he is planning on the United States striking the Iranian nuclear plants, and taking them out. With each passing day, the chatter regarding when this might be has swelled to a fever pitch. For this to happen on Thursday, the 23rd of Sivan in the Hebrew calendar, would place it squarely between an amazing coincidence and a true biblical nugget. Donald Trump as King Ahasuerus ‘issuing a decree’ and authorizing the Jews to defeat their enemies on the exact same day it happened in the book of Esther? Game on.

President Trump has approved of plans to attack Iran, maybe on Sivan 23

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: US President Donald Trump told senior aides that he approved of plans to attack Iran, but he is waiting to see if Iran will abandon its nuclear program before giving the final order, three sources familiar with the discussions said to the Wall Street Journal.

As previously reported by The Jerusalem Post, Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) Gen. Michael Kurilla met with US President Donald Trump and presented him with military options regarding Iran. The WSJ reported that when Trump was asked earlier if he had decided whether to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities, the president said, “I may do it, I may not do it.”

He also repeated his insistence on Iran’s unconditional surrender: “The next week is going to be very big, maybe less than a week.” On Wednesday, Trump reportedly arranged for a meeting with Iranian Foreign Ministry officials.

On Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender, as Iranians jammed the highways out of Tehran, fleeing from intensified Israeli airstrikes. He warned that if US attacked Iran warned that if it attacked Iran, the United States “without doubt will face irreparable harm.” READ MORE

Pentagon Orders The Nuclear-Powered USS Ford To Middle East To Join With USS Vinson And USS Nimitz In Massive Display Of American Military Might

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The US Navy’s newest and biggest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is set be deployed to the Mediterranean in show of American military might in Middle East

The Pentagon is right now sending a message to world at large that, even though it is Israel who is involved in a conflict with Iran over nuclear weapons, it is the United States who will ultimately determine its fate. Talk about a memo! Over the next few days, the Mediterranean region will be host to the USS Gerald R. Ford, the USS Carl Vinson and the soon-to-be retired USS Nimitz. If World War 3 does break out, America will be in pole position. That’s the memo.

“They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.” Ezekiel 28:8 (KJB)

President Trump spoke Wednesday morning to reporters about the Israel-Iran conflict. When asked if the US plans to strike Iran, Trump replied “I may do it, I may not do it,” adding “nobody knows what I’m gonna do.” That’s about sums it up, no one knows just what Donald Trump is going to do, including Donald Trump. Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) Gen. Michael Kurilla met with US President Donald Trump and presented him with military options regarding Iran, a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post Wednesday. At this point, a US strike on Iran is all but certain.

US moves its newest super carrier USS Gerald Ford to Mediterranean as massive military hardware buildup near Iran continues

FROM THE NY POST: The USS Ford, America’s flagship 1,100-foot nuclear-powered carrier, is expected to be sent to Europe as soon as next week, making it the third US aircraft carrier group in the region, CNN’s Senior National Reporter Zachary Cohen reported on Wednesday. It’s the latest public movement of military hardware to the region as the Iran-Israel conflict ratchets up.

The $13 billion carrier’s deployment — likely to the Mediterranean Sea — had been scheduled last year, sources to the network. But, it will still be seen as an unmistakable sign of increased global tensions surrounding the ongoing air strikes between Israel and Iran.

The Ford will join the USS Carl Vinson, which is already in the Persian Gulf, and the USS Nimitz — which the US announced it was sending from Southeast Asia earlier this week.

It comes after President Trump teased a possible US strike on Iran following the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected calls for unconditional surrender.

Several other US warships have left a US naval base in Bahrain as part of increased military movements around Iran, it was reported on Wednesday. Aerial refueling tankers have also been sent to the region. READ MORE
