This Week In The News

Current Events

by Norbert Link

We begin with further observations regarding Europe’s antisemitism and its persecution of Jews; speak on Trump’s ever-increasing powerful position and his announced plans to deport up to 20 million immigrants; and further shocking developments in Germany and those pertaining to the war between Russia and Ukraine and possible serious escalations.

Please view our new StandingWatch program with the title, “So Close to World War III.”

We address the intention by some on the Trump team to build the Third Temple in Jerusalem; and speak on the comparison between the UK and the former Soviet Union.

We also quote articles about the truly mind-boggling stupidity of the Evolution Theory; extraordinary findings of remains of extinct animals; speculations about the reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire; and the possibility that Noah’s Ark has been located.

Throughout this section, we have underlined pertinent statements in the quoted articles, for the convenience and quick overview of the reader.
