GERMANY - Germany has reached the limit of its capacity to supply weapons to Ukraine from its own Bundeswehr arsenals, according to Michael Stempfle, the official spokesperson for the German Ministry of Defense. During a press briefing on Wednesday, Stempfle was asked about the further transfer of Patriot systems and other weapons from German arsenals to Ukraine. He stated that while Berlin has already delivered many systems to Ukraine, there is a “natural limit to this.” He emphasized that Berlin also needed to strengthen the nation’s own defense capabilities and make sure its European allies are “well positioned.” He said that the process of ensuring Germany’s own defenses was “running parallel to the Ukraine support.”
ISRAEL - The Israeli army’s new Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, was officially sworn into the position on 5 March, making a speech and vowing that the “mission” against Hamas has “not yet been completed.” The ceremony comes over one month after the resignation of his predecessor, Herzi Halevi, was announced. “The IDF has achieved impressive achievements on the battlefield. We won battles in Gaza and Lebanon; we struck far away in Yemen and Iran. Hamas received a heavy blow, but it has not yet been defeated. The mission has not yet been completed,” Zamir said in his speech.
USA - President Trump on Wednesday issued a threat against the civilian population of Gaza, saying the “people of Gaza” would be “dead” if the Israeli hostages weren’t released immediately. “Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!” the president said at the end of a statement released on social media. Addressing Hamas in the statement, Trump said, “Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.”
USA - The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one. What makes this revelation particularly damning is that the only document confirmed to have Biden's actual signature was his letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Let that sink in for a moment.
EUROPE - The European Union has failed to agree on a new €30 billion ($32 billion) military aid package for Ukraine after Hungary vetoed the measure at an emergency European Council meeting in Brussels on Thursday. Despite broad support from the other 26 EU members, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban blocked the leaders’ statement, delaying further assistance to Kiev. The proposed five-point agreement included security guarantees for Ukraine, a commitment that no negotiations with Russia would take place without Kiev, and a pledge to uphold Ukraine’s territorial integrity. However, Orban, a vocal critic of military aid to Ukraine and an advocate for peace talks, rejected the proposal, arguing that it contradicted Hungary’s stance. ”It talks about Ukraine needing to be strengthened so that it can fight even further. And Hungary, of course, did not support it because this was completely contrary to our position in favor of peace,” Orban told reporters after the meeting.
UK - A hawkish Starmer says he will put boots on the ground and “planes in the air”. He also says he’ll only do so with “strong US backing”, but president Trump has categorically ruled out American troops in Ukraine. What is Starmer doing? Except, that is, inflaming tensions and putting us at risk. But no one in Parliament on Monday, not one of them, stood up and said, “Excuse me, what?” Or, “You must be having a laugh.” MPs daren’t criticise the PM for fear of looking like a Putin appeaser and were too busy cheerleading to call out his arrant nonsense. So let me do it for them. How can we possibly afford it? Britain is already on its knees. Debt is a horrifying 98 per cent of GDP. Taxes are at their highest level for 70 years and about to go up again. This country needs to muster such resources as it has to take care of our own.
UK - We teach our young men to be ashamed of their country, so how can we expect them to risk their lives defending it? Sir Keir Starmer must be terrified of having to lead Britain into World War Three. Not least because our young men could so easily dodge conscription. All they’d have to do is tell a judge that being sent overseas would breach their right to family life in the UK. After all, that excuse always seems to work for foreign criminals. So why not for innocent British men?
EUROPE - A rapid rise in defence spending is about to unleash a high-octane blast of military Keynesianism. It has taken three years, but Europe is at last putting its collective economy on an industrial war footing. The sums of money are eye-watering. One leaked plan for German rearmament circulating in Berlin proposes a €400 billion (£330 billion) blitz of extra spending on national defence, buttressed by another €500 billion to rebuild Germany’s infrastructure.
USA - If you were drafted, would you willingly go to the killing fields of eastern Ukraine? What about your children? The war in Ukraine has been an endless “meat grinder” that has already claimed hundreds of thousands of Russian lives and more than a million Ukrainian lives. Those that are sane want to see if there is a peaceful way out of this mess so that the killing can stop. Unfortunately, vast numbers of leftists all over the United States and western Europe have been transformed into rabid pro-war lunatics that are absolutely obsessed with “defeating” Russia. So gigantic mountains of dollars and euros have been poured into the war in Ukraine, but it hasn’t worked. The Russians are winning, and so now European leaders are preparing to take things to the next level.
GERMANY - Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz announces an end to strict borrowing limits on defence spending. It has been described as “one of the most historic paradigm shifts in Germany’s post-war history”. Friedrich Merz, the incoming German chancellor, announced on Tuesday evening a €500 billion (£414 billion) special fund for German infrastructure and an end to strict borrowing limits on defence spending. Mr Merz said: “I want to make it very clear: in view of the threats to our freedom and peace on our continent, the following must now also apply to our defense: ‘whatever it takes’.” The significance of these reforms cannot be overstated.
CHINA - China has said it is “ready for war” with America as it raises defence spending and imposes retaliatory tariffs on US imports. In a direct threat to Donald Trump, China’s representatives in America said: “If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight until the end.” Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, in turn said the US is “prepared” to go to war. Mr Hegseth told Fox and Friends that the US was “prepared” and that “those who long for peace must prepare for war.”
USA - BlackRock Inc has secured control over key ports near the Panama Canal, stripping away Chinese-linked influence over one of the world’s most crucial shipping routes. The $23 billion deal, which includes $5 billion in debt, will effectively place the strategic ports under American control — a move long advocated by President Donald Trump and national security hawks concerned about China’s grip on global infrastructure. The transaction, announced Tuesday, involves Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison Holdings selling its controlling stake in Hutchison Port Holdings and Hutchison Port Group Holdings to a US-led consortium spearheaded by BlackRock, AP reported. This historic acquisition grants control over 43 ports in 23 countries, including major sites in Mexico, the Netherlands, Egypt, Australia, Pakistan, and Panama’s critical ports of Balboa and Cristobal — the two primary gateways to the Panama Canal.
USA - A peer-reviewed study published in 2022 found that wind and solar power are more expensive than coal, natural gas and nuclear power. The study shows that even in favourable locations like Texas, solar power is 10 times and wind power 7 times more expensive than natural gas. The differential is even greater in regions of the world that do not enjoy Texas’ favourable climate. The next time some climate activist or wind and solar shill claims wind and solar are less expensive than conventional energy sources, point them to this study and the actual truth, James Taylor writes. By the full system numbers, solar power in Texas costs $413 per megawatt hour (“MWh”) of generation. Wind power costs $291 per MWh. Nuclear power costs $122. Coal power costs $90. Natural gas power costs merely $40. That is a huge price differential between wind and solar versus all other energy sources.
UK - Teacher sacked over using ‘wrong pronoun’ says child put on ‘path to self-destruction’. Christian teacher was ‘treated as a criminal’ for raising safeguarding concerns, tribunal hears. A Christian teacher who was sacked after refusing to call an eight-year-old girl by male pronouns has accused the school of putting the child “on a path to self-destruction”. The teacher, who cannot be named, was dismissed after raising concerns about the safeguarding of a girl who wanted to “socially transition”. She said she accepted gender dysphoria was “a real problem for some people” but that “we should have the humility to put God-given reality first and our own feelings second”.
USA - Donald Trump’s public attack on Volodymyr Zelensky has given impetus to plans for a joint EU fighting force that could one day become the “embryo” of a European army. European leaders are scrambling to boost their collective defence amid fears US troops will pull out of Europe, and the transatlantic alliance has been badly damaged by Friday’s clash between the two presidents in the Oval Office. The crisis has increased calls to ensure Europe can act independently of Washington, and raised the prospect of a common army coming a step closer. European leaders faced with Trump’s insistence they will police the peace in Ukraine have been shocked into action by the combination of AN UNRELIABLE US AND AGGRESSIVE RUSSIA.
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
