Russia And Iran Sign Contract On Delivery Of S-300 Missile Defense System

Russia and Iran have signed a contract on Moscow’s delivery of the advanced S-300 missile defense system to the Islamic Republic, Sergei Chemezov, chief executive of Russian state-owned defense conglomerate Rostec, said Monday.

“The contract on delivery of S-300 to Iran has not only been signed by the sides but has already entered into force,” Chemezov said at the Dubai Airshow-2015, according to Russian media. One of the most sophisticated anti-aircraft weapons in the world, the S-300 is capable of tracking multiple planes at once, and some versions have an interception range of up to 200 kilometers.

Israel has long sought to block the sale to Iran of the S-300 system, which analysts say could impede a potential Israeli strike on Tehran’s nuclear facilities. Other officials have expressed concern that the systems could reach Syria and Hezbollah, diluting Israel’s regional air supremacy.

The agreement would allow the delivery of five systems to Iran following a nine-year delay in the $800 million deal. Russia initially agreed to sell the system to Iran in 2007 but then balked, saying at the time it was complying with a United Nations arms embargo on the Islamic Republic.

In April, shortly after the announcement of the Lausanne outline for the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, Russia announced it was lifting the ban on selling the advanced missile defense system to Iran, over American and Israeli objections.

In August, Iran and Russia announced that the system would be delivered by the end of the year, with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov saying at the time that “just technical details” remained to be agreed upon.

Monday’s statements suggesting the final deal has been signed came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to meet with US President Barack Obama in Washington to discuss US military assistance to Israel for the coming decade. Some of the weapons said to be under discussion reflect the prominence of Iran in US and Israeli military thinking.

The two leaders are expected to discuss commitments that could see Israel get more than the 33 high-tech F-35 jets already ordered, along with precision munitions and a chance to buy V-22 Ospreys and other weapons systems designed to ensure a qualitative Israeli military edge.

The F-35 is the only aircraft able to counter the S-300 surface-to-air missile system. Officials said Israel may also seek to ensure that other US allies in the region do not get the F-35.

The White House has so far rebuffed Arab Gulf states’ requests to buy the planes. source

PROPHECY NEWS MIDWEEK UPDATE: Bill Gates Finally Admits Epstein Files Are True, F-22s Land In Israel For Iran War, Donald Trump Tells Whoppers At SOTU

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Bill Gates just dropped a bomb concerning the Epstein Files, one that shows you why no one in Washington especially Donald Trump is interested in launching an investigation

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has admitted he had two affairs with Russian women while married to his now-ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, just like the Epstein Files says he did, and on Tuesday issued a groveling apology for his connection to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This is a stunning revelation, and it begs the question as to why the Department of Justice has not launched a full-scall investigation into the other allegations contained in the files. Who doesn’t want that to come to light? To find the answer to that question, we must go to the Oval Office.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

End Times

As We Watch America Being Ripped To Pieces By Our Leaders Who Have Betrayed Her, Be Reminded And Comforted That This World Is Not Our Home

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

America is clearly in her last days, are you looking for that better country and Jesus Christ or will you go down with the ship?

When Barack Obama was president, I wrote over 350 articles and stories on the incredible damage he was inflicting on our nation. When he had his third term through the Trojan horse we call Joe Biden, I wrote nearly 100 articles calling out the atrocities that the Democrats were perpetuating. Here at the start of the second year of Trump 2.0, I have been chronicling for some time the dark spiritual climate that has settled over us with the witches and warlocks of the Christian Nationalism Movement, Turning Point USA and all the spiritually-deranged MAGA and QAnon denizens of the current administration. What has all this taught me? That’s what I’d like to share with you today.

“But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Hebrews 11:16 (KJB)

Here are three simple and unique truths that you would do well to acquaint yourself with. In fact, these truths are so self-evident that the entire world system is dedicated to keeping you from seeing and understanding them. What the Bible says will come to pass must come to pass.

1). The world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” 1 John 2:18 (KJB)

Over the past 17 years of reporting through Now The End Begins, the trend is undeniable and unmistakable, the kingdoms of this world are working diligently to prepare the coming 7-year kingdom for Antichrist. Like it or not, America is at the forefront of that movement. When Obama and Biden were running things, we got to see all the spiritual wickedness they brought in with the LGBTQ agenda and the glorification of what God hates. For the past year, we’ve watched as counterfeit Christianity in the form of Christian Nationalism has been working to bring in the 7 Mountains Mandate of end times idolatry based on greed, personal gain and self-glorification. 7MM has a different Jesus and preaches a different gospel. On one hand, Barack Obama and Donald Trump would be seem to be quite different, but they’re not. Both men are working to accomplish the same goal, just from opposite sides of the fence.

THIS IS WHERE NOW THE END BEGINS STARTED, AND 17 YEARS LATER, WE HAVE ONLY SUNK DEEPER INTO IT

2). America is being ravaged and sold to the highest bidder

“Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.” Isaiah 40:15 (KJB)

As of this writing, America is over $37,000,000,000,000.00 in debt, a number that cannot and will not be paid back in anyone’s lifetime. But as this titanic debt continues to compile, politicians on both sides of the aisle have become fabulously wealthy. President Trump and his whole family have profited more than $4,000,000,000.00 since returning to office. America is being eaten alive from the inside out, and no one is coming to her rescue. No one. 2026 is the 250th anniversary of our founding, and it just may be the year it all falls apart. President Trump will be very happy to sell you his latest merch pitch, a watch he calls The Golden Tourbillion for a mere $100,000.00. Everything is for sale with Trump, including his soul.

3). Jesus Christ is the only safe place

“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 (KJB)

Today is Day 2,171 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, a timeline that began when Donald Trump put the entire world on lockdown back on March 16th of 2020. Starting from that day forward, we believe the beginning of sorrows started, and we have continued the timeline because the events just keep coming. The time has passed, Christian, for debates on how to “save America”, that ship has long since sailed. But now is the perfect time for you to rededicate your life to the service of Jesus Christ as a gospel witness in these last days. We are not living in a Golden Age, and there is no Golden Age coming, that’s deception. But you can start right now laying up for yourself treasure in Heaven as the Lord tells us to. America must fall as the Bible says all nations will in the last days, but there is a ‘better country’ waiting for you to come and take up residence in. Get on the Ark, Christian, the rain is about to begin.

The Trump Tariffs Have Almost Zero Impact On Foreign Nations With The Bulk Of The Tax Being Paid By The American Consumer And Small Business Owners

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

96% of the Trump tariffs are not paid by any foreign nation, they are paid by the American importer with the costs passed immediately to the US consumer

In George Orwell’s ‘1984’, we read about something called ‘doublespeak’. Doublespeak is language deliberately designed to disguise, distort, or reverse the meaning of words, often used by institutions to make negative actions appear positive or to render critical thought impossible. Some good examples of this would be a leader preaching peace while preparing for war, or a government promising the people economic freedom while raising their taxes. This, as you shall see, is the demonic logic behind Trump’s tariffs, which is actually a tax on the American people, and not on foreign nations.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” Proverbs 23:23 (KJB)

Maybe you’re one of Trump’s Q or MAGA followers who have been wildly cheering as he has imposed crippling tariffs on the ‘foreign nations’ that have been ‘ripping us off’ for many years. But perhaps in all the jubilation and celebration, you never took the time to understand exactly what Trump’s tariffs actually are. In fact, President Trump built much of his economic message around the promise that foreign nations would “pay” for unfair trade. Yes, it was strong rhetoric, it resonated, and it sounded like long-overdue leverage. It sounded like winning! But the structure of those tariffs tells a very different story — one that slaps the American consumer right between the eyes at it reaches for his wallet.

george-orwell-1984-75th-anniversary-edition-united-states-civil-war-leave-the-world-behind-christian-bookstore-palatka

When Trump orders tariffs, the U.S. government charges American importers at the port of entry. Did you get that? Foreign nations are not paying, the American companies doing the importing are paying. Those American companies then raise prices to cover the added cost. Retailers raise prices. Manufacturers raise prices. And the American family standing in the checkout line absorbs the impact. This is actually how Trump’s tariffs operate. Is there anything in that you find worthy of applauding?

Under Trump’s tariff regime, costs rise across supply chains:

  • Steel tariffs increase construction costs.
  • Component tariffs increase manufacturing costs.
  • Consumer goods tariffs increase retail prices.
  • Agricultural retaliation harms American farmers.
  • And when prices rise, it’s not Beijing tightening its belt. It’s the American middle class.

Trump positioned tariffs as a tool of strength — a weapon to force foreign governments to the negotiating table. But strength on a podium is not the same thing as strength at the grocery store. Every time tariffs broaden, they function as a hidden tax embedded in everyday purchases. If the federal government collects billions in tariff revenue under Trump, that revenue didn’t come from overseas treasuries. It came from higher prices paid by Americans somewhere in the chain. That money originated here. You cannot slap broad tariffs on a globalized supply chain and expect the cost to evaporate.

American manufacturers who rely on imported inputs don’t magically become more competitive when those inputs get more expensive. They either:

  • Raise prices,
  • Cut margins,
  • Reduce payroll,
  • Or relocate operations.

That’s not economic revival, that’s economic pressure. Trump argues tariffs defend American industry. But across large segments of the economy, they operate like a regressive tax — disproportionately impacting working-class families who spend a larger share of their income on physical goods. The irony is sharp: a policy framed as economic nationalism ends up taxing the very nation it claims to protect.

Economic studies from 2025 and early 2026 consistently show that foreign exporters have “eaten” very little of the tariff costs:

  • 90% to 96% Burden on Americans: Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Kiel Institute found that as of late 2025, American consumers and firms paid approximately 90% to 96% of the tariff costs.
  • Minor Exporter Absorption: Foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% to 6% of the burden by lowering their prices to remain competitive.
  • Cost per Household: The Tax Foundation estimated that Trump’s tariffs increased taxes for the average U.S. household by $1,000 in 2025 and are projected to cost $1,300 in 2026.

So when you watch Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday, and he gets to the part about how he’s not backing down with the tariffs, just remember who is paying for those tariffs – you are. The evil foreign nations who have been ‘ripping us off’ for years with trade inequality and unfair practices will continue to do that. The only difference is, that in addition to that you now also have Trump’s tariff tax applied to all the goods you purchase, every time you eat out and the gas you put in your vehicle. Does that sound like winning to you? Did you vote for that? We’re living in a time of great deception, and the sooner you realize that the better off you’ll be.
