Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Iran is teetering on the brink of collapse with a massive internet blackout sparking fears of a “massacre” and the regime’s “missile cities” on alert.
Iran right now is a nation on the brink of violent regime change as a frustrated people tired of authoritarian rule combined with a terrible economy have taken to rioting in the streets. This is not the first time this has happened in recent years to the terror-supporting state, but this time it looks like it just may happen. But it’s hard to get a true read on what’s going on inside their borders as their internet has been unplugged, making it very hard to get information to the outside world.
You read many times in your King James Bible about a man named Elam, a son of Shem, whose descendants became the Elamites, and we follow them from Genesis all through the prophets, and right up to the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. According to Isaiah and Jeremiah, both Elam and the Elamites will play a big role at the Second Advent. Where is Elam, you ask? It’s in Iran. In Bible prophecy, the region of Elam – Persia – Iran, different names for the same place, plays a huge role. This is why we keep a closer eye on Iran and Iraq than we do the other Muslim nations, these are the ‘hot spots’ in prophecy. Iran at this moment is rapidly reaching the boiling point of a revolution that now only needs the arrival of a charismatic leader to push it over the edge.

Harbinger’s Daily
By Robert Gottselig: Last week, the United States led a tactically precise military operation against Venezuela, resulting in the capture of President Nicholas Maduro and his wife, transporting them to New York, where they will face narco-terrorism charges.
President Trump praised the total success of the operation. From his perspective, the core issues were clear: drug trafficking, illegal immigration into America by criminals, and oil unjustly taken from American companies.
When Trump warned Maduro to step down, he flatly refused and instead taunted the President—a decision that led to the Venezuelan President’s takedown and arrest.
What followed was a powerful display of jubilation across Venezuela as citizens celebrated their liberation from Maduro, an anti-semitic socialist dictator. People poured into the streets in celebration, toppling his statues and tearing down posters that once symbolized his rule. This stands as a warning to the West of the destructive consequences of socialism and how that ideology can ruin an entire country.

Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: Horrors: The Islamic regime has opened fire on anti-regime protesters in Fardis, Iran.
Dozens of people are reported to have been murdered.
Iran has been plunged into a nationwide internet blackout as anti-regime protests intensify, severely restricting communication across the country as demonstrations enter their second week and the death toll reaches 44, according to reports.
Live network data from NetBlocks showed internet traffic collapsing in the troubled nation on Thursday evening, shortly after calls circulated for mass protests at 8 p.m. local time.
The country on strike. Massive numbers on the streets. Internet cut. Mullahs seen at Moscow airport. Yet the regime still shoot at protestors. Many dead. But the people keep on coming. The courage of our fellow human beings is staggering.

Front Page Magazine
By Daniel Greenfield: In October, a politically connected illegal alien was charged with ramming ICE vehicles in Los Angeles. He was shot and wounded by an ICE officer, but after a grand jury indicted the illegal alien, an Obama judge threw out the charges.
The case was all too typical of how commonplace car attacks on ICE and immigration law enforcement had become and how sanctuary cities had conspired to legalize them.
The death of a radical leftist activist accused of attempting to ram ICE personnel with her SUV in Minneapolis, may be the first official fatality, but it’s also the inevitable result of normalizing car attacks, promoting them as a tactic and then protecting their perpetrators from the consequence. Radical judges and activist groups can protect an activist from the law, but not from a bullet, and driving a 5,000 lb SUV at armed men was always going to end one way.
Democrat officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, have tried to pretend that the fatal shooting showed that ICE is violent and “out of control.” The media has barraged viewers with that same false narrative using misleading and out of context scenes.

Jihad Watch
By Christine Douglass-Williams: For decades, the hard left has been working alongside Islamic supremacists to destroy America and other Western countries from within. They came close to achieving full victory during the Barack Obama and Joe Biden years. Obama served as a vehicle for the Muslim Brotherhood‘s rise in America, while Biden flung open the southern border to create the kind of chaos necessary for a communist societal takeover.
