Syrian Collapse: U.S. Bradley IFVs on hi-alert after prisoner release!

“[The prison camp situation] presents a significant security concern in the sense that, were ISIS able to affect some type of breakout of any detention facility, that would be a significant setback and something that would be very concerning. [That’s] why we continue to work very closely with the SDF [Kurds] to ensure that those detainees can continue to be held, [and we’re also] working with the international community to attempt to repatriate many of those detainees; that is something that we’ll continue to communicate very closely with the SDF to ensure…”Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Pat Ryder, 16DEC2024

According to Johns Hopkins University (which, for some reason, has become the go-to source of data for main stream news media) about 3.9-billion people (supposedly half of all Earthling humans) globally have been disappeared, into their homes, due to CoViD-19 stay-at-home and shelter-in-place lockdown orders!

The pathogen called CoronaVirus Disease 2019 doesn’t care about your skin color, sex, age, type of government you live under and especially doesn’t care about what ‘god’ you worship.   Drone video showing near empty cities of Budapest-Hungary, Rio-de-Janiero-Brazil, Lisbon-Portugal, Vilnius-Lithuania, and Istanbul-Turkey:

“For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”– 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, New King James Bible

U.S. Christian Rapture, June 2018: FIRE AND HONEY BEES…IT’S ‘GOD’S PLAN’!

“No man can work for two masters, for either he will hate one and will love the other, or he will honor one and the other he will ignore. You cannot work for God and for money.”-Matthew 6:24, Aramaic Bible

“But the root of all these evils is the love of money, and there are some who have desired it and have erred from the faith and have brought themselves many miseries.”-1 Timothy 6:10 Aramaic Bible

“And Yeshua [Jesus of Nazareth] entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And he said to them, It is written: ‘My house will be called the House of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers.’ “-Matthew 21:12-13 Aramaic Bible

“Yeshua said to them, ‘Give what is Caesar’s to Caesar and what is God’s to God.’ And they marveled at him.”-Mark 12:17 Aramaic Bible

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.-1st Amendment, U.S. Constitution

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

Former employees of religious non-profits might not qualify for unemployment assistance (or even be counted as unemployed): “If the non-profit organization is a church, you may or may not be entitled to unemployment. It all depends upon state regulations for church employers. In many cases, churches are allowed to set their own rules regarding unemployment benefits, meaning the church can choose whether to offer benefits to former employees.”

New York:  God powerless to stop ‘his’ Lutheran Augustana Center for Extended Care & Rehabilitation-Langone Health from issuing a shutdown WARN, 286 nursing home jobs gone by June 2018!  More proof that money is more powerful than ‘god’; in NYC, a Greek Orthodox Church destroyed during 9-11 was being replaced with the Saint Nicholas National Shrine, that is until construction was halted due to lack of money after costs of construction soared to $78-million USD ($28-million more than what was estimated in September)!  Funding for the project was coming from the Greek taxpayers, the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church.  On Xmas day a 70 years old woman was run-over and killed while walking to the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, in North Patchogue.

Ohio: In Lebanon, ‘god’ caused the Bethel AME Church to catch  fire, destroying everything inside, including donations for Xmas and food pantry ops. In response the local community, and some big box stores, donated even more food and Xmas stuff to the small church. Grace Cathedral-Winston Broadcasting Network accused by Beck Energy of stealing $3.6-million USD by intentionally defaulting on a massive loan from the oil company.  The loan was used to pay-off the huge church mortgage, and the loan itself was supposed to be paid-off by February 2016, Beck Energy says not one dime was received.    Grace Cathedral is also being accused by Illinois’s Cook County of stealing an old Illinois woman’s life savings of $340-thousand USD: “She was basically stalked by the church to give money. The literature talks about how you’ll go to heaven if you give this money.”-Dawn Lawkowski-Keller, Cook County Public Guardian

It’s estimated that 70-thousand debt collections cases are filed every year in the Mormon dominated state! The BYU law students are working with a Salt Lake City based attorney to provide debtor’s legal defense free of charge.  Also in Salt Lake City, the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS (just the biggest and most powerful of several ‘mormon’ religions) made a half-a-million U.S. dollars just since December 1st through its new donation vending machines located by the Mormon church at Temple Square (proof institutionalized religion is about your money, not your ‘soul’, and if your money is your soul then you are truly lost).

Virginia: In Williamsburg, after 27 years Bassett’s Christmas Shop shutdown, no reason given.  Terry Wayne Millender and Brenda Millender were convicted by a federal jury of swiping from their Victorious Life Church congregation $2-million USD.  The now former church leaders promised their followers that the money was being used for loans to poor people in Africa.

It all depends upon state regulations for church employers. In many cases, churches are allowed to set their own rules regarding unemployment benefits, meaning the church can choose whether to offer benefits to former employees.”

He promised $23-thousand for the Big Momma’s House project.  (UPDATE: TV station KPVI reported that after the initial report of a Muslim saving Big Momma’s House at least two more large donations were made, however, KPVI was careful not to mention the religious affiliation of the donors. JANUARY 2017 UPDATE: TV station KIFI reporting that Bingham Memorial Hospital made a significant donation and admitted they were motivated by the Muslim doctor’s donation.)

Cassia County Joint School District decided not to fight a ACLU lawsuit accusing it of discriminating against non-Mormon students.  Details of the settlement were not disclosed but the taxpayer funded Mormon dominated school district claims it will make changes to its official policies of favoring Mormon students.  What happened was a non-Mormon student wanted to run for student body president but was denied on the grounds of not having the required classes completed.  But it turns out the only candidate, a Mormon, also did not meet the requirements to campaign for president yet was allowed to run!  The Mormon dominated district was counting Mormon seminary as credit towards the class requirement.    School District 321, based in ‘Mormonsville’ Rexburg, has declared a teacher shortage emergency and is now hiring anybody who wants to teach, regardless of certification, starting pay $30-thousand (which is damn good for rural Idaho)!

In Nampa, Holly Lane Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center (owned by ‘christian’ for-profit Tennessee based Orianna Health Systems-Covenant Dove) continues to violate Medicare and Medicaid rules for patient safety.  State inspectors accuse Holly Lane of repeatedly putting patients in “immediate jeopardy”.   The Nampa nursing home has until January to get its act together or lose all federal funding.  Local news media interviewed former patients who say the mistreatment started years ago due to lack of employees.  One patient told a state inspector “If I have to piss and shit on myself, I would rather be dead!”
