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

HIGH SEAS SHOWDOWN: United States Military Has Dramatically Seized Control Of The Russian-Flagged Oil Tanker Marinera In The North Atlantic Ocean

U.S. military forces have successfully taken control of the Russian-flagged Marinera oil tanker in the North Atlantic Sea, it has been confirmed

This is a breaking news story, and events are being updated in real-time, but that said, it looks like Trump just authorized the military to take control of a Russian oil tanker, with new information now saying that the seizure has been successful. Will Russia take this lying down, or will there be serious consequences to it? In case you haven’t been paying attention, the entire world is entering into a period of geopolitical realignment, and that’s an understatement. War is coming, so buckle up.

“How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?” Jeremiah 48:14 (KJB)

The U.S. seized two oil tankers off the coast of Venezuela last month as part of its blockade of sanctioned oil shipments to and from the country. Trump said Tuesday that Venezuela would hand over 30 million to 50 million barrels of oil to the U.S., as its vast reserves emerged as a key pillar of his plans — and a point of tension with Russia and China. Christian, things are heading closer and closer to an end times boiling point, make sure your lamps have plenty of oil, you’re gonna need it. We will update this story as more information becomes available. TO THE FIGHT!!!

US forces seize sanctioned, Russia-flagged oil tanker Marinara that eluded Venezuela blockade

FROM THE NY POST: US forces boarded and seized sanctioned oil tanker Marinera Wednesday morning, more than two weeks after it eluded a blockade around Venezuela and was reflagged as a Russian vessel in a failed bid to evade capture.

Military and Coast Guard personnel boarded the ship, formerly known as the Bella 1 and now called the Marinera, in the North Atlantic between Iceland and the British Isles, US European Command confirmed.

“The vessel was seized in the North Atlantic pursuant to a warrant issued by a U.S. federal court after being tracked by USCGC Munro,” the Stuttgart, Germany-based command said in a statement. “This seizure supports the president’s Proclamation targeting sanctioned vessels that threaten the security and stability of the Western Hemisphere.”

The ship dodged a sweeping US quarantine of vessels transporting oil to and from Venezuela — a blockade that President Trump imposed late last year ahead of Saturday’s arrest of the South American country’s president, Nicolas Maduro.

“The blockade of sanctioned and illicit Venezuelan oil remains in FULL EFFECT — anywhere in the world,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth proclaimed after the successful seizure. READ MORE

The Global Realignment We Are Watching Under Trump Has Its Roots In The Club Of Rome Mandate For A 10 Region Global Structure And The UN Agenda 2030

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

US president Donald Trump is working furiously to create Region 1 from the Club of Rome 10 Kingdoms map, will he be able to do it before the end times clock runs out?

In 1974, the Club of Rome, an influential think tank composed of scientists, economists, and global leaders, proposed a controversial geopolitical framework that divided the world into ten regional blocs, often referred to as the “10 Kingdoms.” This division was presented as part of a broader effort to address mounting global challenges such as overpopulation, resource depletion, economic instability, and environmental degradation. Today that work is seen as a blueprint for a looming New World Order, a centralized authoritarian global government foretold in Bible prophecy. What does all this have to do with UN Agenda 2030 and Trump’s land grabs? Plenty, as you’ll soon see.

“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:12,17 (KJB)

The Club Of Rome. After WWII, you had a number a groups coming into existence that today we know were all connected to the coming New World Order. You had the United Nations General Assembly in 1945, you had the Bilderberg Group in 1954, and in 1974 you had the Club of Rome. Their main agenda, no surprise, was mostly one of planetary sustainability, much like the current UN Agenda 2030 and the “you will own nothing and like it” campaigns. If the Bilderberg Group was all about world domination, and it is, then the Club of Rome was all about the mechanics you’d need to have in place to bring that about. When we watched Pope Francis starting back in 2015 going on a crazy climate crisis speaking tour, he was advancing the already-in-place mandates of the Club of Rome. Not surprisingly, Revelation tells us all about a Revived Roman Empire that divides the world into a 10 Nation Confederacy. So what does this have to do with Trump in 2026? Let’s see.

Donald Trump right now, as we showed on Monday’s Podcast, is using the Monroe Doctrine to put a fence around the Western hemisphere, repeatedly saying that America needs to make states out of Canada and Greenland. Crazy, right? No, that’s the plan. If Trump gets his way, then Region 1 from the Club of Rome map will be in place. The fact that a sitting US president is actively trying to do that is mind-blowing when you consider in ramifications of it. Then there’s Putin. The military clashes between Russia and Ukraine have been going on since February of 2014, with officially declared war that began in February of 2022. What does Putin want? He wants to recreate the old Soviet Union, Region 5 on the map at the top of this article. Then there’s China.

Related Articles:

Xi Jinping is a member of the Chinese Communist Party, and since 2013 the president of Red China. What does he want? Xi wants to add Taiwan to China creating Region 10. What about the other regions? Well, Region 2 is the European Union, Region 3 is Japan, so you see that much of the proposed 10 Kingdoms are already in existence. If left unchecked, it is highly likely that Trump’s land grabs will spark a similar interest with other world leaders. When you put them all together – the UN, Bilderberg Group, the Club of Rome – and throw the dumpster fire that is Donald Trump and QAnon into the middle of it, you should expect the predictable result of global anarchy, wars, and rumours of war.

I have been writing a lot about Donald Trump and the end times moves of his administration, and rightly so. They are almost singlehandedly pinning the end times meter to 10+ all by themselves, and when you add what the other nations are doing, it is last days chaos. Trump has put in motion a series of events that, left to themselves, will throw the world into World War 3 hysteria. The question is, will the Lord allow it to get that far? I don’t know but I know this, the Bible is true and all our world leaders are, at the end of the day, working to create the Mark of the Beast kingdom of the soon-coming Antichrist.

Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller Says That Trump Is Going To Make Greenland Part Of The United States And Use Military Force If They Resist

Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller Says President Trump will make Greenland part of the United States to further its security interests

We warned you for the past two months that Donald Trump, on the pretext of fighting drugs, was going to take control of Venezuela to seize their oil reserves, that happened this past Saturday. Today we learned that Trump is going to make the American taxpayer foot the bill when he turns the whole thing over to Big Oil. But it gets worse. Breaking news tonight shows us Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller telling Jake Tapper on CNN that yes, Donald Trump is going to take Greenland.

“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)

Why does Trump want Greenland so badly? First, for its strategic importance given is close proximity to Russia. Second, Greenland and its territorial waters are believed to hold the equivalent of over 31 billion barrels of oil, more than the proven reserves of Qatar, Brazil and other major oil and gas powers. Trump has courted the oil industry with promises to “drill, baby, drill” — something that’s now effectively banned in Greenland, an autonomous region within the kingdom of Denmark that prizes its largely untouched environment. Third, Greenland is a storehouse of rare earth minerals, graphite, copper, nickel, gold, tungsten, uranium, Titanium-vanadium and others needed to satisfy the demand to fuel his 6G Memorandum and Stargate AI mandates. Greenland has these things, and Trump is going to take them and with military force if Greenland resists.

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is not treating it like a joke. She said Trump should be taken seriously, adding that if the U.S. attacks a NATO country, “everything stops.” Frederiksen warning that a U.S. takeover would mean the end of NATO as we’ve known it. “If the United States decides to militarily attack another NATO country, then everything would stop — that includes NATO and therefore post-World War II security,” Mette Frederiksen told Danish television network TV2.

Miller said that it is the, and I quote, “the official policy of the Trump administration to take Greenland and make it a part of the United States”. Donald Trump is not only doing regime change and nation building, but he is combining Manifest Destiny and the Monroe Doctrine to begin the conquest of other nations. If you were wondering when the actual ramp up to WWIII was going to start, I think it just did.
