In 2021, almost every type of violent crime is on the rise in New York City According to recent figures from Compstat, the NYPD’s data gathering unit, crime is up 30 percent city wide

Post-pandemic New York City is a dystopian nightmare with violent crime, homelessness and drug addicts openly shooting up rising across the board, and this scene is being played out and repeated all across the country in states run by Democrat mayors and governors. If you thought the COVID nightmare was coming to an end, it’s not, it’s gathering strength and transforming itself into something much larger and more deadly than any virus.

“This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” 2 Peter 3:1-4 (KJB)

Axios reported that ‘Earlier Friday, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the U.S. is “taking a very close look” at the possibility of requiring vaccine passports for international travel.’ Don’t let the fact that baseball fields are reopening fool you into thinking we are getting past all this, we are not. The spirit of Antichrist began rising in 2020 because the time is at hand for all the things spoken of by the prophets to come to pass.

Post-pandemic New York City is laid bare as homelessness, mental illness and crime escalate and rattled locals and tourists alike believe the town ‘has lost its essence’ while city cheerleaders insist ‘the ship has turned’

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: ‘New Yorkers don’t feel safe and they don’t feel safe because the crime rate is up. It’s not that they are being neurotic or overly sensitive – they are right,’ Governor Andrew Cuomo declared on Wednesday.

‘We have a major crime problem in New York City. Everything we just talked about, with the economy coming back, you know what the first step is? People have to feel safe.’

Other city officials are more optimistic, talking up Gotham once again. ‘The ship has turned. We are headed towards recovery,’ Chris Heywood of NYC&Company, the city’s official tourism organization, told DailyMail.com. He confidently predicted New York will see 36.4 million visitors this year, more than half of the 2019 figure, but way up from last year’s number of 22.3 million, the majority of whom came in the first three months. ‘People are really eager to get back out there,’ he said.

Vijay Dandapani, president of the city’s Hotel Association, said it will take until at least 2025 for visitors to be back at pre-pandemic levels, mainly because of the lead-time needed for the lucrative conference and convention business to restart. ‘But New York will be back,’ he told DailyMail.com. ‘No-one is writing off New York, certainly not me.’ But not all are convinced the Big Apple is back on track.

‘I just want to go home. This is dangerous,’ Brandon Lee, 27, from Jersey City, New Jersey, complained to DailyMail.com as he sat in Times Square on Sunday night watching Mr. Kim’s melt down.

Others were disappointed there wasn’t more action. Around midnight, Amy, a 37-year-old in town with her boyfriend from Colorado Springs, Colorado, said: ‘I came here for the city that never sleeps. But apparently it goes to bed at 9.30!’

She and boyfriend Matt had visited downtown areas like Soho, Chinatown and Little Italy earlier in the day. Their most memorable sight was a homeless man pleasuring himself outside the Orpheum theater that, before the pandemic, had housed the show Stomp.

‘We were on our way to dinner,’ said Matt. ‘We lost our appetite a bit.’

Of course, most of the homeless are harmless. They have just fallen on hard times either through losing a job or a home or through drug use or they have mental issues. Tommy, a well-spoken 41-year-old originally from Buffalo, told DailyMail.com he just wants to get by and hopefully move on.

‘I realize tourists don’t want to see us sleeping on the sidewalk. I don’t want to sleep on the sidewalk, but right now I have no choice,’ he said. ‘I’m not going to hurt you, but I will ask you for a dollar or some change.’

A total of 206,000 people visited Times Square this past Saturday, according to Tom Harris, acting president of the Times Square Alliance. That is down from pre-pandemic levels of 365,000 but well up from last year’s low of 35,000.

‘People are starting to come back to Times Square, with warmer weather, increased vaccinations and a lot of pent-up demand,’ Harris told DailyMail.com ‘I’m very optimistic about the future.

There is no doubt that Times Square, the Crossroads of the World, has changed from pre-pandemic times. Then it was packed with tourists from around the world. Now it’s mainly what Manhattanites dismissively call the ‘Bridge and Tunnel crowd’ — visitors from New York’s four other boroughs and nearby locations such as New Jersey, Long Island and Westchester County.

‘Times Square has lost its essence,’ a cop patrolling the area told DailyMail.com. ‘People come here now and just sit. Before, things were much more organized and orderly. Families came in from out of state, out of the country, for shows. Now it’s a more urban, younger vibe.’

He said it’s exhausting trying to control the mostly low-level crimes there, the drug sales, the noise, the harassing behavior. ‘I’ve arrested most of these guys already, and issued them summonses,’ he said. ‘It doesn’t stop them.’ He also said prostitution is rearing its head around Times Square. ‘We see the same girls coming in there with different people all the time,’ he said, nodding toward one of the area’s best-known hotels.

Andy Hort, who runs a printing company in Times Square, said he now avoid the area whenever he can.

‘There’s a lot more crime and a lot more drug addicts and vagrants everywhere,’ he told DailyMail.com. ‘In the last three months, I’ve seen three or four people shooting up right in front of me. I’m not the biggest supporter of Rudy Giuliani, but when he was mayor, he definitely brought Times Square into a Disney-like tourist area from what was a seedy strip club area,’ Hort said. ‘Right now, I feel like it’s slipping back to where it was previously.’  READ MORE

Trump Signs Presidential Memorandum Directing The Government To Fast Track 6G Development For AI, Robotics And Human Implantable Technologies

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Trump just launched 6G Development Initiative to fast track technology for AI, robotics and human implantable devices in 2026

Remember how much everyone freaked out when then-president Barack Obama rolled out 5G technology? To say that it caused end times watchers to go nuts might be an extreme understatement. Well, guess what? President Trump just signed a directive to warp speed 6G development specifically where it applies to AI, robotics and human implantable technology. 666G, anyone?

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)

In a December 19, 2025 Presidential Memorandum titled “Winning the 6G Race,” the administration says the next generation wireless network (6G) will be foundational for national security and the economy — and then adds this line: 6G will play a pivotal role in “artificial intelligence, robotics, and implantable technologies.” It reads like a blueprint for the kind of always-on, everywhere, high-speed, low-latency control grid that Revelation says will one day be used to enforce the most notorious system the world has ever seen: no mark, no commerce. And the memorandum isn’t vague. It’s about carving out and clearing spectrum (radio bands) for 6G — ordering studies and relocation plans with deadlines and specific frequency ranges. Take a look and see for yourself.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I Donald J. Trump hereby direct:

Section 1.  Purpose.  The next generation of mobile communications networks (6G) will be foundational to the national security, foreign policy, and economic prosperity of the United States.  This technology will play a pivotal role in the development and adoption of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and implantable technologies.  6G will also provide faster, more resilient, and more secure communication networks that can be utilized for national security and public safety purposes. source

Now strip away the marketing language and it’s largely about making room for 6G by relocating federal users and designating bands for full-power commercial use. But notice what it’s for: not just faster phones. The memo and fact sheet repeatedly frame 6G as the platform that will operate AI, robotics, and implantables at scale.

That is transaction control. That is access control. That is permissioning commerce based on a required identifier, and the absolute perfect setting for the Mark of the Beast. But I’m sure that’s just another ‘crazy coincidence’, right?

Now ask yourself: what kind of technology makes that easy worldwide?

  • networks that never drop
  • networks that can authenticate instantly
  • networks that can handle billions (then trillions) of devices
  • networks that can merge identity, location, biometrics, payment, and compliance
  • networks that can support “implantable technologies”

We invite you to join us for our first Podcast of the New Year, Lord willing, this Friday January 2nd 2026 where we will blow your mind in real-time.

2025 Will Go Down For Among Other Things As The Year That Antisemitism Gained A Foothold Not Only In The MAGA GOP But Throughout America As Well

2025 was a seminal year for antisemitism and anti-Zionism not only across America but within the MAGA Republican Party

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A man walks onto a college campus and says “I’m not antisemitic, I just hate Zionists. Free Palestine.” Pretty funny, yes? Or perhaps not, but either way some form of this “joke” has been told endlessly across the United States in 2025. “I’m not against Israel”, they say, “I’m only against Zion”. They advocate for the cutting off of all funding to Israel, and the establishment of a Palestinian state. And no, I am not talking about Democrats primarily, I am talking about half of the Republican Party MAGA Movement, or whatever they call themselves now.

“The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.” Psalm 128:5 (KJB)

What got me thinking about all this wasn’t something that wasn’t directly antisemitic, but when you think about it for a minute, it becomes quite chilling. Benjamin Netanyahu was visiting Trump in the White House over the weekend, where he made a very strange remark. When asked about selling US F-35 jet fighters to Israel’s declared enemy Turkey, Trump said “We’re thinking about it very seriously,” adding “I promise they’ll never use them on Israel,” while walking out of the room. “We’re not going have a problem.” Oh, I see. ‘Trust In Trump’ is it? How could he ever think, in a million years, that giving F-35’s to a country that has threated many times in 2025 to attack Israel could ever be a good idea? It’s a terrible idea, but given Trump’s recent affinity for striking deals with Muslim nations, it makes perfect sense. Just remember, Trump was an avowed antivaxxer right up to the moment he unleashed the COVID vaccine bioweapon. Trump is a lifelong friend of Israel right up to the moment he isn’t anymore.

At the recent meeting of Turning Point USA, antisemitism was on full display with a notable percentage of the participants. “Ben Shapiro is like a cancer, and that cancer spreads,” Steve Bannon said, to the cheers of thousands. Megyn Kelly said during a talk with conservative influencer Jack Posobiec at the conference that “there was a rift even before we lost Charlie… and it revolves around Israel,” NBC reported. For a group that seemed to speak with one voice when they help reelect Donald Trump last November, this is a paradigm shift to say the least. Take a look at what some of the most-notable influencers are saying now.

Some of the stunning 2025 antisemitic turns by MAGA influencers

  • Tucker Carlson: The former Fox News host (and current independent media figure) has been a prominent voice criticized for mainstreaming antisemitic ideas and white nationalist rhetoric, often focusing on “globalists” and questioning U.S. support for Israel. He has also hosted known white nationalists like Nick Fuentes on his show.
  • Candace Owens: The conservative commentator has made numerous controversial comments, including calling Israel “demonic” and promoting anti-Israel conspiracy theories. She frequently uses the term “globalists” to describe a cabal of powerful individuals, a widely recognized antisemitic dog whistle.
  • Nick Fuentes: A leader of the far-right “Groyper” movement, Fuentes is a self-described white nationalist known for Holocaust denial and overt antisemitic rants, who has gained a following among some younger conservatives within the MAGA movement.
  • Stew Peters: A far-right conspiracy theorist and podcast host who promotes Holocaust denial and claims that “primarily Jewish-controlled central banks” fund evil in America; multiple congressional Republicans have appeared on his show. 
  • Steve Bannon: An architect of the MAGA Movement, Bannon has been accused of making antisemitic comments and comparing Jewish commentators like Ben Shapiro to a “cancer” on the conservative movement.
  • Megyn Kelly: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) accused Kelly of invoking antisemitic tropes when she claimed that Jewish commentators Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss are “making antisemites”. The ADL stated that blaming Jewish people for the hate directed against them is a classic victim-blaming trope.

Christian, if you are an anti-Zionist, you possess a pathetically-low understanding of the Bible, in either Testament, and should be ashamed of yourself. Seriously. The Bible openly declares that God is a Zionist, and that the kingdom He will usher in during the Millennium will be a Zionist kingdom. If you are anti-Zionist, not only are you antisemitic, you stand in opposition to God Himself. How ’bout that?

“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:26,27 (KJB)

As we watch America struggling with a very fast rising tide of antisemitism, why don’t you pick a side and stay there? You see, I believe my Bible, and I know how it all winds up, who wins, and how it all will go when the end times dust settles. So here and now, by faith, I stand on the side of the King of the Jews, on the side of His chosen people, the Jews, and with the biblical, and literal, physical, and earthly Zion which is the City of David. Where do you stand?
