UK - With just 80 days remaining until Brexit Day, March 29, nerves are fraying on both sides of the English Channel. Nowhere is this more true than in the City of London where the Square Mile’s dominance of the global financial industry faces its biggest threat in decades. In the City’s worst-case scenario — a crash-out Brexit on March 29 — London-based firms that have not prepped properly for this outcome could be cut off from the continent altogether. Since moving key operations and staff across the channel is a costly, complex, timely undertaking, many companies have preferred to play a waiting game. But the clock continues to tick down, and as the risk of a disorderly exit grows, inaction is becoming a risky strategy.

USA - Something is happening to our planet. The mainstream media is not talking much about this, and the experts assure us that everything is going to be just fine, but the truth is that we have been witnessing an unusual amount of seismic activity all over the world. Up until just recently, most of the shaking has been elsewhere on the globe, and so it has been easy for most Americans to ignore. But now North America is rattling, and that isn’t going to be so easy to brush aside. In fact, 2019 has barely even gotten started and the state of Alaska has already been hit by 81 significant earthquakes…

ISRAEL - A Temple Mount expert, a rabbi who has been studying the subject for years, combined his knowledge of Jewish sources and archaeology and arrived at the conclusion that the Jewish Temples did not stand where visitors now see the prominent golden Dome of the Rock.

USA - Sharyl Attkisson is one of the few remaining real journalists in America, and she has been attacked, smeared, censored and de-platformed for daring to ask real questions about vaccines, government spying and other “disallowed” topics. Her latest broadcast episode, The Vaccine Debate, features the true story of Dr Andrew Zimmerman, a pediatric neurologist who served as the government’s own expert witness in secret vaccine court proceedings that now typify so-called “justice” for vaccine-damaged children in America.

USA - DC Comics drew critical praise for its series of short-run books that re-imagine classic characters and coming up soon, the company is set to release a new book featuring an out-of-touch, bungling Jesus Christ in the lead. In the new comic, written by Mark Russell, Jesus Christ will be portrayed as an out-of-touch former savior who is cast out of his prison in heaven and back down to earth because God the Father felt that Christ messed up his first visit with mankind, Newsbusters reported.

USA - President Donald Trump stopped short on Tuesday of declaring that a national emergency exists on America's southern border, but reiterated his demand that congressional Democrats fund a border wall that he has promised for nearly four years. But he played the shame card with a vengeance, blaming them for playing politics with innocent American lives and allowing 'a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul' to fester.

USA - Although widely expected to declare a national emergency in a televised address this evening, President Trump instead used the broadcast to appeal to the American people to demand Democrats capitulate and approve funding for border security. In doing this, President Trump set the stage for invoking a new national emergency in the days ahead if Democrats fail to fund the border wall.

USA - The Government has partially shut down. Again. No other advanced democracy has government shutdowns. In America they have become almost routine. This is the third since Donald Trump became president and by far the most damaging. The others were resolved quickly; this is already the second-longest on record. It is not happening because America is in turmoil: the country is not at war, unemployment is as low as it has ever been. It is happening because that is what the president wants. What is playing out in Washington is the denouement of a political fight. Mr Trump was elected on a promise to build a wall on the southern border, though Mexico was supposed to pay for it. The new Democratic majority in the House is reluctant to give the president a victory on his best-known policy. The Senate majority leader, who might be able to end the standoff, is AWOL. But the fight is about much more than policy: it is about Mr Trump’s authority.

USA - President Barack Obama’s Border Patrol chief went public on Tuesday and said that President Donald Trump is correct about building a border wall. President Trump fired Obama-appointed Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan one day after taking office in January 2016. Despite this, former Chief Morgan made a public statement released on Tuesday supporting the president’s plan to build border walls, LawAndCrime.com reported. “I’m here today breaking my silence to tell the American people that the president is correct in what he’s doing,” Morgan told interviewer Brian Ross with the Law & Crime Network. “The wall works — 100 percent.”

USA - Prominent leaders of the Democratic Party once fiercely endorsed border security, and had even voted to secure a border fence along the nation’s southern border. These stringent calls for tougher border policy appear to have ceased since Donald Trump took office as President of the United States. In 2006, Senate Democrats — including then-senators Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, and Joe Biden — voted to secure a fence along the United States southern border. Hillary Clinton: “Look, I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in, and I do think you have to control your borders,” said Clinton, referring to the Secure Fence Act of 2006, “We need to secure our borders, I’m for it, I voted for it, I believe in it.”

SWITZERLAND - EU Bosses are refusing to renegotiate the bloc’s trade deal with Switzerland despite several attempts from the country’s new federal president Ueli Maurer to get the agreement back on the table. Berne and Brussels finally came up with a draft deal on future bilateral relations just before Christmas after four years of intense and occasionally bad-natured negotiations.

USA - Newly-elected Virginia congresswoman Jennifer Wexton is showing solidarity with the LGBTQ community by hanging a transgender pride flag alongside the official Virginia flag outside her Washington DC office. Narissa Rahaman, a regional field organizer for the Human Rights Campaign, shared an image of the flag on Twitter Thursday, which she said is the only office on the Hill with one. Rahaman also said Wexton told her the flag is there because of the community’s support. The trans flag is proudly and openly displayed next to the Virginia flag outside @RepWexton’s new office! She said to me, “Did you see the flag?! I think we’re the only office on the Hill with one.” To all her volunteers: the flag is there because of you & for you! Change is here!

USA - Activist and concerned citizens have for years been ringing the alarm bells over genetically modified (GM) foods taking over our food supply. There are several critical concerns surrounding this issue. We do not yet know what the long-term health effects will be of mass consumption of GM products. We know that they have in some cases been linked to the development of cancer. Production of GM crops requires massive amounts of patented chemical fertilizers, herbicides and seed activators. GM crops contribute to monoculture. GM seeds are patented by seed companies and GM crops are known to migrate between fields, leaving non-GM farmers liable for patent infringements. GM crops represent the corporate takeover of the food supply and will make the entire world dependent on for-profit for survival. In short, GM crops are an exceptionally bad idea, and now even the main scientist who has developed all GM potatoes is speaking out publicly on the hidden dangers of this new frankenfood.

RUSSIA - The leader of the Russian Orthodox Church has said that humans’ dependence on modern technology will result in the coming of the Antichrist.  In an interview with Russian state media, Patriarch Kirill explained he does not entirely oppose gadgets, but warned against “falling into slavery” to smartphones.  Patriarch Kirill said that the collection of user data including “location, interests and fears” will make it possible for humans to be controlled by external forces. “Control from a single point is a harbinger [sign] of the coming of the Antichrist,” Kirill told the state-run Rossia-1 TV network on Orthodox Christmas Monday. “The Antichrist is a personality that will be at the head of the world wide web controlling the entire human race. Thus, the structure itself presents a danger,” he said.  The church leader stressed that “if we don’t want to bring the apocalypse closer, thereshould be no single [control and access] center.”

UK - The Bible predicts the end times will be "terrible", filled with "deception" and will become as "evil" as the last days of Noah. The Bible describes events and conditions that would mark “the conclusion of the [current] system of things,” or “the end of the world". The Bible calls this time period “the last days” and the “time of the end,” or “end times", and clearly teaches that society will degenerate. In Matthew 24:37-39, it is said that the end times will be more evil than it was in the days of Noah. Jesus said that as lawlessness increases, “most people’s love will grow cold”. The Bible also says that the end times will be an age of deception. According to Matthew 24:24: “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elected.” However, the Bible does not state when the end times will occur, Matthew 24:44 states: “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
