Now The End Begins
Five Thousand Years Ago, Did Someone Carve The Stargazer Figurine To Permanently Memorialize A Visit With Alien Beings From Outer Space?
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Could The Five Thousand-Year-Old Stargazer Be An Ancient Portrait Of Alien Visitors Who Descended From The Heavens And Were Worshipped By Early Civilizations As Gods?
What if the face we have come to associate with space aliens is not a modern invention at all? What if it is a memory? Carved from white marble thousands of years ago, the mysterious figure known as The Stargazer possesses one of the most immediately recognizable silhouettes imaginable: an enormous hairless head, a long narrow neck, a small angular body and a face that looks startlingly similar to modern depictions of extraterrestrial visitors.
The Cleveland Museum of Art dates its Stargazer to approximately 3000 BC and identifies it as a female figure from ancient Anatolia. The deeply incised pubic triangle identifies the figure as female, but everything above the waist looks strikingly unlike an ordinary human being. Its maker deliberately exaggerated the head, minimized the body and tilted the face upward toward the heavens. That upward gaze gave the figure its modern name, but it may also contain the key to its ancient identity. The Stargazer appears to be looking toward the place from which its subject came. Similar figures belong to what archaeologists call the Kilia type, named after the Turkish village where examples were discovered. Archaeological work at Kulaksızlar in western Anatolia uncovered evidence that these strange marble figures were being manufactured between approximately 4500 and 4250 BC. That places the tradition long before the great monuments of dynastic Egypt and deep within the shadowy opening chapters of recorded human civilization. Imagine what that possibility means.
Thousands of years before science-fiction movies, television programs, flying-saucer magazines or alleged alien-abduction accounts, ancient craftsmen were carving pale, hairless humanoids with oversized heads, elongated necks and strange faces. The resemblance to the beings now called “Greys” is not hidden in some obscure detail. It is the first thing the modern observer notices. Perhaps the familiar alien image was not invented in the twentieth century. Perhaps it was rediscovered.

The Future Of The Temple Mount:
What The Bible Says About The Most Explosive Flashpoint In The Middle East
What The Bible Says About The Most Explosive Flashpoint In The Middle East
By Mark Hitchcock: The 37-acre Temple Mount in Jerusalem is ground zero for the events of the end times, and it’s back in the headlines as the most explosive flashpoint in the Middle East—and probably the whole world.
The Temple Mount is the previous location of two Jewish temples. Solomon’s Temple was built there 3,000 years ago until 586 BC, when it was destroyed by the Babylonians. When the Jewish people returned from exile, they built a second temple, which the Romans destroyed in AD 70.
It is considered the third holiest site in Islam—even though Jerusalem is not mentioned specifically in the Quran. The Dome of the Rock is a Muslim shrine that marks the site from which Muhammad supposedly ascended to heaven. In addition, the Al-Aqsa Mosque sits at the southern end of the Temple Mount.
In recent days, there have been “dust-ups” at the Temple Mount that have threatened to escalate into a wider conflict.

Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: For years, defenders of the increasingly anti-Israel radical Left have insisted that its activists are simply criticizing Israeli government policy. They don't hate Israel, we are told. They only oppose settlements, military operations in Gaza, or American military aid.
But sometimes someone says the quiet part out loud.
Megan Romer, national co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, did exactly that during a remarkably revealing interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick.
Asked what the DSA actually wants for Israel and the Palestinians, Romer replied that the organization supports "a free Palestine with the capital in Jerusalem." When Remnick pressed her on whether that meant a two-state solution or a single state replacing Israel, Romer acknowledged that her answer could "be safely read as a one-state solution."
That distinction matters enormously.
This isn't merely a dispute over where Israel's borders should be drawn.
It raises the far more fundamental question of whether the world's only Jewish state should continue to exist at all.
And Romer's comments became even more disturbing when the conversation turned to October 7.

Under Democrat Rule, Two Federal Agencies Gave Taxpayer Dollars To Terror-Tied “Charities”
By Pamela Geller: The Democrats weaponized our federal agencies, bankrolling organizations flagged for terror ties, funneling roughly $2 billion in taxpayer-funded health and “humanitarian” contracts.
The Middle East Forum has published the results of a pioneering study (click here) of Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grants to terror-linked and extremist groups, exposing nearly $80 million in taxpayer-funded grants to a cohort of foreign and domestic Islamist organizations. “Health and Human Services Hidden Handouts: Exposing Millions in Federal Funding to Radical Islamic and Terror-Linked Organizations” is MEF’s third report in a series of audits that have uncovered systemic federal grant abuses, resulting in congressional hearings, debarment investigations, and massive funding cuts across executive branch agencies.

Abolish Jewish Studies
By Daniel Greenfield: 1. Identity studies, whether black, Latino, LGBTQ or Jewish should not exist within the university system.
2. Jewish Studies, like every ‘identity’ department with ‘Studies’ at the end, has become a toxic stew of Marxism and radical politics which inevitably also, despite the ‘J’ in the name became antisemitic.
Apart from making college campuses worse, the toxification of ‘Jewish Studies’ also created a revolving door in which well intentioned students were radicalized and in turn sent back to Jewish institutions, including schools, museums and synagogues, and Jewish Studies department, to radicalize them in the self-perpetuating cycle of radical destruction.

Sharia In Action: Abdul El-Sayed Oversaw Animal ‘Slaughterhouse’ That Killed Over 3,000 Puppies
By Robert Spencer: Why did he do this? In March 2009, Abdul El-Sayed said: “Ultimately, the question is, when I die and I stand before God and go through everything I did in my life, I don’t want to say I did it the easy way instead of the Shariah-compliant way.”
And what does Sharia say about dogs? Sharia hates dogs. Muhammad, according to Islamic tradition, ordered them killed.
“Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50

America Is Ruled By A Uniparty That Operates Like A Death Cult
By Leo Hohmann: Both of the two major American political parties are part of a death cult. Each worships death in their own distinct way.
The Republican Party, which I have focused on over the last 18 months only because they are the party in power, has membership rolls filled with bloodthirsty warmongers. The older Republicans especially, as a whole, will support any war that official Washington tells them needs to be fought. No questions asked.
The reason for the war doesn’t have to make sense. It doesn’t have to benefit America in any way. It doesn’t have to square with the facts on the ground. They will believe whatever false narrative Washington and its media lapdogs put out against the foreign boogeyman. Before you jump on me, I know there are exceptions. Not all boomers are warmongers. I myself am part of the baby boomer generation and I detest war. I believe wars should be fought for national defense of the homeland and that’s it. All else is corrupt scheming for the benefit of foreign interests and billionaires in the U.S. military-industrial-security complex.
Even the bombing of an elementary school in which 165 young girls and their teachers were killed on the first day of the Iran war, on March 1, did not move them. They have zero compassion or concern about the women, children and families killed by American and Israeli bombs. Their hearts and consciences have been seared and they are driven by a hatred for people they see as an inconvenient obstacle to a particularly ruthless brand of political Zionism. Yet, many of them call themselves Christian.
