SOTT Focus: What Would Jesus Do?

And is there anything particularly Christian about Christian Zionism?
gaza destruction ruins
When did Jesus say it was acceptable to starve the poor, slaughter women and children while turning a blind eye to the suffering of the weak? The answer, of course, is never. Yet for years, a vocal strain of American Christian Zionist leaders have supported policies that do precisely that — enabling the starvation and slaughter of Palestinians while underwriting broader wars that have decimated ancient Christian communities across the Middle East. How did we arrive at a place where those who claim to follow the Prince of Peace justify such unchristian horrors?

The Biblical call for compassion is clear: Leviticus 23:22 commands, "When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop. Leave it for the poor and the foreigners living among you." This is a divine directive to care for the vulnerable, not an optional gesture. James, the brother of Jesus, is yet more emphatic: "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you" (James 1:27). What kind of religious leaders cheer the bombing of Gaza's widows and orphans, left destitute by policies supported by American and Israeli leaders? Decades of war propaganda have numbed many Americans to the atrocities committed in their name. Yet a growing awareness is stirring both here and abroad.

SOTT Focus: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - March 2025: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

ecs0325
A shallow 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar near Mandalay, killing more than 5,350 people, injuring nearly 8,000, and destroying thousands of buildings, including Mandalay's royal palace and the Ava Bridge, with the damage exacerbated by the country's ongoing civil war and compromised infrastructure. International aid from neighbouring countries such as China, India and Thailand poured into Myanmar to help with the relief effort.

In Thailand, the earthquake was felt in 77 provinces, prompting evacuations and causing temporary disruption to transport and services. The low-frequency seismic waves caused a 33-storey high-rise building under construction in Bangkok to collapse, killing 51 people and leaving dozens missing.

The tremor was felt in eastern India, particularly in Kolkata and West Bengal, causing minor structural damage but no reported fatalities. In Bangladesh, tremors were reported in Dhaka and Chittagong, leading to evacuations and temporary power cuts, with at least two people injured in stampedes caused by panic.

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: What's Really Behind Trump's Tariffs-Trade War?

Trump tariffs China Iran Newsreal

Turns out, out-competing China is the reason for Trump's "return to 19th-century tariffs." But as we've been seeing, Trump "flinched" when the US bond market spiked, something he apparently didn't expect to happen. And so now, just a couple of weeks after the introduction of tariffs, the US government is "pausing" the tariffs - and even exempting from tariffs the bulk of key imports the US depends on from China.

Still, American rhetoric about "beating China" is picking up steam, and sounding increasingly aggressive. Separately, Trump has issued Iran with a 2-month ultimatum to "make a deal over nuclear power, or else!" Of course, Iran DID have such a deal, until Trump tore it up in 2017, but that glaring inconsistency aside, are the US "make a deal" ultimatums to these two countries, Iran and China, connected in some way?

Worryingly, it appears that they are, and it's all to do with waning US influence on global energy markets...

SOTT Focus: How Israel Hunts And Executes Palestinian Medics

The recent case of 15 uniformed first responders killed on their way to work is but the latest in a long, long line of similar crimes

The Israeli army has executed 15 Palestinian medics in Gaza, buried them and lied about them being "terrorists." For those paying attention, this barbarism is not new, only the latest war crime committed by Israel in a litany of war crimes over the decades.

The combination of the medics being tied up, executed and buried in a mass grave was so horrific that even usually indifferent global media reported on it, albeit without the outrage that would have accompanied such reports were the perpetrator an enemy of the West. (Warning: disturbing video.)

Comment: Many aid organizations have complained about this pattern of "getting permission/approval" from Israel for supply movements, and then coming under fire when they try to move the aid. The World Kitchen massacre was the most egregious up till now.

What's Trump's plan? HAS Trump got a plan?! He promised American voters "a golden age," so ending globalization is presumably necessary to achieve that, but what if his new tariffs regime opens Pandora's box?

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: 62 Years Later, Last Remaining 'JFK Files' Confirm [REDACTED] Did it!

jfk files israel conspiracy assassination
© Sott.net
At long last, 'all remaining JFK Files' are being released, but IS it all of them, what do they reveal, and do they tell us who killed JFK, and why? The assassinations of both Kennedys have long since been thoroughly investigated and analyzed, to the point that it is no longer contentious to state that they were killed by a clique of operators from within 'the intelligence community'.

The only remaining contention is whether operators from the Israeli regime were a.) involved, b.) central to the murders, and c.) perhaps even the key players. Meanwhile, the very 'system of government' which replaced popular democracy following those assassinations is being fundamentally challenged by 'MAGA' and other nationalist movements across the West...

...except in one important respect: more than ever before, Israel gets everything it wants! But for how much longer? Is perpetual genocide, censorship, and blackmail sustainable forever?

SOTT Focus: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - February 2025: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

secs0325

Japan experienced an extraordinary snowfall that put the country in the global spotlight as a record-breaking cold front hit Hokkaido, Japan, dumping 120 cm (4 feet) of snow in just 12 hours, disrupting travel and driven by a powerful cold front that swept through the region. The Polkus base also recorded an astonishing 6 meters of snow, one of the deepest in the world in recent years. Resorts such as Happo-One in the Hakuba Valley also boasted massive bases, with depths approaching 5.5 meters (18 feet), while Tengendai Kogen later reached 7.2 meters (23 feet) by the end of February.

This record-breaking accumulation was part of a broader wave of extreme winter weather, driven by phenomena like the Siberian Express, which funneled cold air and heavy snow across Japan.

Meanwhile, Mammoth Mountain in California received 91 cm (3 feet) of snow in a single day, while Montreal broke its snowfall record with 75 cm (29.5 inches) over four days, prompting residents to stay indoors.

These events tied to a disrupted jet stream and La Niña activity, flipped the script on where snow usually falls, making February 2025 one for the books! If this pattern continues, we're likely to see unusually cold temperatures and snow even in early spring.

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Trump Bombs Yemen, Russia Holds Best Cards in Ukraine, West Becomes More Authoritarian

A rare cosmic alignment between Washington and Moscow means a peace settlement in Ukraine is within reach, but there's a catch: Russia is winning on the battlefield so it wants a real peace deal, not another tricky 'ceasefire'.

While saying he wants to "stop all the killing in Ukraine," Trump apparently has no problem using military force to bring Yemen's Houthis to heel. Multiple other Western (and Arabian) leaders have tried bombing them into submission before. What makes Trump think it will work this time? And is this 'MAGA'?

Meanwhile, crackdowns on free elections and free speech continue unabated across the West: from targeted deportations and corporate boycotts against individuals or entities criticizing Israel, to banning certain politicians from running in elections, to draconian 'hate speech laws to combat anti-Semitism', Western civilization continues its downward trajectory.

LUC TALKS
No, I won't retraumatize you all by going through the Covid timeline again. It's enough that I had to see one the other day, complete with the measures, lockdowns and their idiotic names. Talk about a PTSD flare.

The whole mess is now 5 years old, almost to the day.

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Massacre in Syria - Terrorist Regime Brutally Suppresses Alawite Resistance

syria massacre alawites HTS newsreal
© Sott.net
Mayhem in Syria this weekend as hundreds - and possibly thousands - of Alawite Syrians are slaughtered by the new 'diverse, jihad-reformed' Western-backed regime in Damascus. Although the spark was apparently armed resistance by the local population against 'policing' incursions by HTS militia, their brutal response of collective punishment was beyond the pale. Qui bono? The usual suspects. And the prognosis is terrible for the entire East Mediterranean/Levant region.

Also in this NewsReal, Joe, Niall and Adam discuss the European leadership's new plan to invest 800 billion euros in 're-arming Europe' to 'strategically defeat Russia,' a laughable proposition that will nonetheless further greatly enrich Europe's political class. Finally, the 'Epstein Files release' stunt by the new Trump administration, while derisive, is nonetheless contributing to intensifying hysteria among Zionists and their allies. Which it shouldn't, if Israel's not involved... right?
