The assembled leadership of Europe were sat down like schoolkids around the desk in the Oval Office while ‘teacher’ Trump lectured them on Russia and Ukraine

It was a wild scene in the Oval Office yesterday as the leaders of Italy, Germany, France, Finland, the president of the EU Commission, and the NATO secretary general were all put in chairs around the Resolute Desk while President Trump pontificated on how to proceed with ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. It was crazy, just look at the disdain on all their faces, like something out of an end times movie. That’s because we are living in an end times movie, and that’s the memo.

“For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.” Isaiah 29:10 (KJB)

On the Podcast yesterday, I talked about why Putin only wants to deal with Trump, and that’s because Putin knows that, in the end, he gets just about everything he wants from Trump that he would never get from talks with anyone else. All Trump wants is the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war regardless of how the war is actually brought to an end. Trump becomes Putin’s proxy to deliver and dictate the terms to Zelensky and Ukraine. Fun fact, Putin will never, in a million years, agree to a ‘peace deal’ that is not highly slanted in his favor including acquiring parcels of Ukrainian territory he needs to rebuild the old Soviet Union. Don’t get me wrong, I hate war and would love to see peace in Ukraine, but that’s not going to happen because “and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.” 

European leaders discuss Ukraine security guarantees after Trump talks

FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: Monday’s White House meeting shed little light on Putin’s territorial terms. The Russian leader has demanded Ukraine’s withdrawal from Donetsk and Luhansk, but Zelenskyy has set a firm red line against ceding land beyond the present occupation or legitimising Moscow’s control.

Some observers say that for all the diplomatic manoeuvring, there has been little real movement towards ending the war. “Nothing had happened in Anchorage on Aug. 15th. Nothing happened yesterday in Washington DC,” Gérard Araud, the former French ambassador to the US, wrote on X. “Putin, Zelenskyy and the European leaders were all relieved: they had avoided Trump taking unwelcome decisions. It was the triumph of empty vagueness and meaningless commitments.” READ MORE

Russia and the United States have discussed a model for ending the war in Ukraine that mirrors Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, The Times has been told.

When President Trump had Zelensky visit the White House a while back, it was used as a pretext for Trump and Vance to jump all over him and publicly humiliate him. Trump was praised by some for his very firm handling of a seemingly ungrateful Zelensky. I wonder if President Trump will also be as firm and forthright with Putin when they meet in Alaska on Friday? Trump has given Putin a deadline for stopping the war, what happens if Putin disregards it? Nothing will happen, and that’s the memo.

“Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 39:5 (KJB)

Donald Trump would never, in a million years, speak to Vladimir Putin in the same way he spoke to Zelensky, he knows he is no match for the former KGB Soviet mastermind. But what he will do is appease Putin, and instead of negotiating a peace, he’s more than happy to carve up Ukraine and split it with him. Students of history remember how Hitler made a pact with Stalin and together they carved up Poland, and how did that turn out? When they two meet in Alaska tomorrow, it will be Putin coming in with the upper hand, just ask Ezekiel if you don’t believe me.

US and Russia ‘propose West Bank-style occupation of Ukraine’

FROM THE TIMES UK: Under this scenario Russia would have military and economic control of occupied Ukraine under its own governing body, imitating Israel’s de facto rule of Palestinian territory seized from Jordan in 1967.

The idea was raised weeks ago in discussions between Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s peace envoy, and his Russian counterparts, according to a source close to the US national security council. Witkoff, who is also tasked by Trump with bringing peace to the Middle East, is understood to support the idea, which the Americans believe circumvents barriers in the Ukrainian constitution to ceding territory without holding an “all-Ukraine” referendum.

President Zelensky has refused to countenance handing over land but the occupation model may be a mechanism to allow for a truce after three and a half years of war. Under the model, Ukraine’s borders would not change, just as the borders of the West Bank have gone unchanged for 58 years, only under Israeli control.

“It’ll just be like Israel occupies the West Bank,” the source said before Trump’s summit with President Putin in Alaska on Friday. “With a governor, with an economic situation that goes into Russia, not Ukraine. But it’ll still be Ukraine, because … Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine.”

Anna Kelly, the deputy White House press secretary, said: “This is total fake news and sloppy reporting by The Times, who clearly has terrible sources. Nothing of the sort was discussed with anyone at any point.”

Israel’s occupation has been ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice, which is not recognised by the US and only partially accepted by Russia. In March 2022 the court ordered Russia to “immediately suspend military operations” in Ukraine, by a vote of 13 to two in which Russian and Chinese judges were opposed. The order is binding on Russia but the court has no means of enforcing it.

The United Nations has ordered Israel to end its occupation, most recently in a vote of the general assembly last September by 124 nations to 14, with 43 abstentions.

The resolution called for Israel to comply with international law within 12 months and withdraw its military forces, immediately cease all new settlement activity, evacuate all settlers from occupied land and dismantle parts of the separation wall it constructed inside the occupied West Bank. Israel, which voted against the measure along with the US, has ignored the resolution. Britain abstained. This outcome for Ukraine’s occupied territories is seen by some US negotiators as simply reflecting the reality of the war and the refusal by all other nations to become directly involved in fighting Russia. In this view, all that remains is to establish the exact boundaries of Russian occupation, which Putin is seeking to push as far as possible before his talks with Trump in Alaska.

The scenario would reflect the world view expressed by Sebastian Gorka, Trump’s senior director for counterterrorism, during an interview in May.

“We live in the real world. The Trump administration lives in the real world,” Gorka told Politico. “We recognise the reality on the ground. Number one, that’s the beginning because we’re not utopianists and we’re not human engineers. We’re not some kind of pie in the sky believers in utopia.

“We recognise the reality on the ground and we have one priority above all else, whether it’s the Middle East or whether it’s Ukraine. It’s to stop the bloodshed. Everything else comes after the bloodshed has been halted.”

​Israeli troops captured the West Bank — land between Israel and the River Jordan — from Jordanian forces during the 1967 Six Day War, putting millions of its Palestinian residents under Israeli control. Israel’s occupation has been ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice, which is not recognised by the US and only partially accepted by Russia. In March 2022 the court ordered Russia to “immediately suspend military operations” in Ukraine, by a vote of 13 to two in which Russian and Chinese judges were opposed.

Details on Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska begin to surface

President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet on Aug. 15 to discuss a potential end to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Speculation surrounding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s participation in the discussions with Trump and Putin has largely subsided, as it now appears he will not be in Alaska for the meeting. LiveNOW’s Andrew Craft is getting a preview of what we might expect on Friday from Peter B. Doran, an adjunct senior fellow at FDD.

President Donald Trump says today is ‘LIBERATION DAY IN D.C. WE ARE TAKING OUR CAPITAL BACK!!!’ and that should make you wake up and pay attention at the very least

55 minutes ago on his Truth Social network, President Donald Trump said “Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN!” As a high-level concept, I agree with what the president is saying, Washington DC is a filth cesspool for sure, and cleaning it up would be a very good thing. But DC has been that way since before I was born, why the rush to do it suddenly now? At the very least, this announcement is a distraction, at the most it’s a scary dystopian shift forward. Take your pick, that’s the memo.

“Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!” Luke 17:1 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, what Trump says he is planning to do today is huge news, something no other president has ever done. Everything that Trump sets his hand to, good or bad, has the overwhelming feel and flavor of a hastily-produced reality show, a show you and I here in America are living in on a daily basis. Will we actually see a Federal takeover of Washington? That’s what Trump is promising to give us, and when he does, will we stand back and cheer as he does it? We are living in strange times that grow stranger by the day, like Neo in the Matrix, we know that something is very, very wrong, we just can’t put our finger on it. Today on the Podcast, we once again run the breaking news through the filter of your dusty, old and archaic King James Bible that’ll give us updates fresher than tomorrow’s headlines. Exciting times we live in!
