The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp denied  on Tucker Carlson yesterday he signed an emergency order allowing the seizure of private guns, 

U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp signed an emergency order allowing the seizure of private guns, ammunition, explosives and property the National Guard may need to respond to Hurricane Irma.
Mapp signed the order Monday in preparation for Hurricane Irma. The order allows the Adjutant General of the Virgin Islands to seize private property they believe necessary to protect the islands, subject to approval by the territory’s Justice Department.
Mapp issued an emergency declaration Tuesday and mobilized National Guard units to prepare for the massive storm.
“This is not an opportunity to go outside and try to have fun with a hurricane,” Mapp said. “It’s not time to get on a surfboard.”

Irma strengthened to a Category 5 storm Tuesday, with wind gusts hitting 175 miles an hour. Irma’s eye is expected to pass just north of the heart of the U.S. Virgin Islands on Wednesday and bring four to eight inches or rain and 60-mile-per-hour wind gusts.

If you have followed my blog for a few years you know that I have written extensively about the link between catastrophic events and natural disasters to the ill-treatment of Israel and the “give away” of God’s land in Israel.
Consider this, since “The Great American Eclipse” of August 21, 2017 the following has occurred.
    1.   Catastrophic Hurricane Harvey that wrecked the Galveston and Houston Gulf region of Texas.
    2.   Now we face Hurricane Irma, a potentially “new super” category 6 Hurricane; we have never had a category 6 hurricane, Irma is currently a category 5 hurricane. If it hits the U.S. mainland it will be the first time in 100 years that two category 5 hurricanes hit the U.S. in 100 years. Hurricane Irma is going to be catastrophic; Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Gulf Coast Florida and possibly the Atlantic coast states are in extreme danger. Keep in mind Key West is a major center for gay activity and hence a target.
2.a There is also a tropical disturbance #2 brewing in the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico. There is the potential for Hurricane Irma and #2 merging, let’s pray that it doesn’t happen.
2.b There is also a tropical disturbance #1 behind Irma!
3. Keep in mind the U.S. government is spraying chemtrails heavily. I was in Indianapolis, Indiana over the Labor Day weekend and I observed some of the heaviest spraying I have ever seen. The government is also bombarding these storms with HAARP beams making the storms more severe, I believe that was the case with Harvey.
4. We are also getting close to the 9-11 anniversary and these storms will occur on or near that morbid date.
5. There are massive forest fires in Montana
6. No sooner than the Trump trio, of White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner, Special Envoy Jason Greenblatt and Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategy Dina Habib Powell (born in Egypt and living in Texas), went to the Middle East, meeting with Israeli and Palestinian officials, then shuttling to meetings with leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Jordan, to try and restart the Israeli-Palestinian “Peace Process,” Hurricane Harvey began to hit Texas, with it’s power of destruction. Now, exactly twelve years later, Louisiana may be hit again too.
In fact the God of Israel has been doing this, since the beginning of the “Peace Process or what I call the “Pothole to Peace”. For example, in March 1991, President George H. W. Bush pushed Israel into attending the Madrid Peace Conference, later that year A “Perfect Storm” attacked the East Coast of the United States. Bush, staying at his vacation home in Kennebunkport, Maine at the time, had to evacuate and his home was damaged.
In my September 2005 less than a week after the Israeli army expelled thousands of Jews from their homes in Gaza and Northern Samaria, uprooting 25 communities, American troops were “evacuating” people from their homes in Louisiana and Mississippi. The greatest “natural” disaster had happened in American history. The Hand of God is written all over this one.” The percentage of people effected in the U.S. directly matched the percentage effected in Israel!
Many people in Israel and America saw “God’s Hand,” in the hurricane disaster [Katrina].
In 2005, Jerusalem Kabbalist, Rabbi David Batzri said about Katrina that, “Divine retribution is meted out according to the principle of “measure for measure,” just as the Jews were forced out of their homes as a result of US pressure on Israel, so too are Americans being forced out of their homes.” Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the former Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel said, “He [Bush] brought about the expulsion [from Gaza], now he has his own expulsion.”
“Whenever this country encourages Israel to give up any part of their rightful God-given land we have suffered the consequences,” wrote a Christian on the Christian Broadcasting Network.
John Green, senior fellow at a Washington Think Tank (Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life) said, about half of Americans believe that a divine power sends judgment through hurricanes, floods and natural disasters. “The basic idea that God is in charge and he expects people to behave and he isn’t happy when they don’t, that’s a very common idea,” Green explained.
At the time, even Illinois’ liberal Democratic Congressman, Jesse Jackson Jr, said at a news conference, “God is responsible for this and in his own time he will reveal why.”
The God of Israel, who has brought His people, the Jews, home after 2,000 years, is watching our every move. We must stop pushing Israel into suicidal concessions that give away parts of its homeland to the Palestinians before it’s too late, and our fate is sealed.
The redemption of the Jewish People and their return to the Holy Land (Israel) is an unstoppable divine process, the “Palestinians” can´t stop it, the Europeans can´t stop it, and America can’t stop it. If America continues to promote the “rights” of the “Palestinians” (what the Bible calls “a non- people” – Deut. 32:21), know that you are going against the God of history and Jewish destiny. Beware!”
In 2005 George Bush and Condi Rice worked to promote the expulsion of about 10,000 Gazan and Samarian Jews from their homes, destroying whole communities in the process. They did this to curry Arab favor and to gain Arab and Muslim support for America’s war efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Trump administration is continuing to work, to sacrifice Israel, on the Altar of “The Pothole to Peace” in order to gain support of a Sunni coalition of states against Shiite Iran.
A US official said recently that “The Trump administration is exploring new approaches for easing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that builds on talks with the budding Sunni Arab coalition of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Jordan.”
The Saudi Ambassador to Washington, Khaled bin Salman, said that his older brother, Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, was “optimistic in light of the commitment of Donald Trump to achieve a just and lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians.”
The new American strategy seems to be, unite the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, under Abbas’ leadership, so that a united Palestinian bloc could renew negotiations with Israel. The Trump administration is trying to use it’s connections with the Sunni Arab states to exert pressure on all the Palestinian factions to join up. The Americans, in return, have pledged to bring Israel to the negotiating table when the Palestinians are ready. And to grease the squeaky wheel, the US is trying to bring Jerusalem and Ramallah together through joint economic initiatives.
Meanwhile, the Arab coalition has tried to move Hamas closer to Egypt and the UAE, and distance them from Qatar, which for years has been a major Hamas financial backer.Mohammed Dahlan, a Gazan now living in the UAE, has been the key intermediary. For years, he has been floated as a potential successor to Abbas. He returned to Gaza and organized UAE-financed humanitarian aid there. Dahlan’s aid to Gaza is said to include about $15 million a month in food and social assistance for families, plus additional money for electricity and water.
The plan is to provide economic and social support, through Egypt, with Israel’s blessing, that can weaken the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence. Israel has allowed fuel and other shipments to pass to Egypt through the border crossing at Rafiah, signaling it’s tacit support. Dahlan and the UAE have larger plans. Dahlan said the UAE has pledged to finance a million dollar electricity plant, to be built on the Egyptian side of the border, to help power Gaza. Although Dahlan is a long-time rival of Abbas, US officials insist they support Abbas.
What does God want? Over the last one hundred years God has made that abundantly clear. The God of Israel has been manipulating history to bring about what He promised thousands of years ago to our forefathers, as recorded in the Bible’s prophecies. Jews are returning to their Promised Land from the four corners of the earth.
America’s support for the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif in Gaza ran counter to God’s Plan, and it’s clear that His “payback time” came swift and furious, as Hurricane Katrina uprooted whole communities along America’s Gulf Coast. So too now, America’s new attempts to promote “Peace,” with the threat of throwing Jews out of their homes from Judea and Samaria, has brought the catastrophe that is Hurricane Harvey, monster forest fires and soon Hurricane Irma to the United States.
Friends, we must change our government’s policies toward Israel and the so-called “Pothole to Peace Process” You will recall the Soviet Union fell because that government did not let Jews leave for Israel. So too will the United States of America fall, if it keeps giving away God’s land.
And all this is happening at a time, when America is ripping itself apart. When the U.S. divides Israel, God divides us. Fighting in the streets between extreme left and extreme right, is slowly moving America closer to civil war. We must stop pushing our ally Israel into committing suicide.

The God of Israel will wreck havoc with any country that opposes His purposes in history…The final redemption of the Jewish People has begun; America, join up or beware!
7. and I didn't even mention wars and rumors of war e.g. N. Korea


8. And then there is the cruelest month for U.S. equities.
The S&P 500 Index limps into September after stalling amid heightened tensions on the Korean peninsula and historic flooding in Texas. Those broke a stretch of calm that’ll be hard to replicate in a month loaded with major events that could set the tone on financial markets the rest of the year, from a dozen G-20 central bank decisions to a deadline on the U.S.’s ability to pay its bills and elections in Europe and Oceania.
Here’s what’s coming.
Central Bankapalooza
The fate of currency and bond markets will hinge on a slew of central bank policy meetings and speeches, with the euro the most likely to get jostled as the European Central Bank decides the timeline for ending its unconventional easing. President Mario Draghi said officials will discuss potential tweaks in autumn and refused comment when asked if that included Thursday’s meeting. They’ll have to contend with a euro that’s now at its highest level in more than two years.
Treasuries, meanwhile, have been on a tear -- something that’s got to start to concern Federal Reserve officials looking to begin the process of balance sheet normalization as soon as on Sept. 20. The move has been well-telegraphed in order to avoid a repeat of 2013’s tantrum. 
So far, so good as 10-year yields hover near 2017 lows and U.S. equities sit within spitting distance of all-time highs. But don’t get too complacent that will endure, warns Deutsche Bank AG chief international economist Torsten Slok.
“Now, when QE is about to be reversed, I don’t see any papers or speeches talking about the coming big negative impact on equities, widening credit spreads, and boosting yields,” he wrote of monetary policymakers who championed the benefits of asset purchasing programs. “It cannot be asymmetric such that QE only has positive effects and reversing QE will have no negative effects.”
While no Canadian monetary policymaker has spoken publicly since the Bank of Canada delivered its first hike in almost seven years, another surprise could be in the offing at its meeting Wednesday, as CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld now expects.
“The bank can clearly argue that the economy simply doesn’t need rates as low as they have been to generate decent economic growth,” he wrote on the heels of a release showing rapid second-quarter growth of 4.5 percent.
The pound’s got the opposite problem of the euro, and its descent to the lowest since October 2016 in trade-weighted terms surely has got the attention of the Bank of England nine days before it convenes. The problem is, the rollover in U.K. economic data and negative real wage growth has tempered any expectations for a meaningfully hawkish shift.
September will also see central-bank meetings in Japan, Australia, Russia, Mexico and Brazil.

Full Faith and Credit

September’s been tough on equity investors, delivering an average loss of 0.7 percent and falling 60 percent of the time since World War II, according to S&P Global. This year, the month also brings a showdown on whether the U.S. will pay its bills. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin declared Sept. 29 to be the "critical" deadline by which Congress must raise the debt ceiling.
“Gear up for a bumpy September, as brinkmanship is likely to be the driving force behind debt limit negotiations,” said Ward McCarthy, U.S. economist at Jefferies.
Mnuchin insists there is “no scenario” in which the government wouldn’t pay its bills. Judging by the kink in the Treasury bill curve, traders are at least a little skeptical.

Wall Street’s already prepping for a doomsday scenario. And U.S. President Donald Trump has complicated the situation by threatening to shut down the government if Congress doesn’t approve funding for a wall along America’s southern border, while Mnuchin has said the relief aid for Hurricane Harvey should be tied to a bill raising the limit.

Vote, Vote, Vote

Constant vigilance from market-watchers is warranted as a handful of nations head to the polls during September -- even if the results don’t produce a surprise in the order of Brexit or Trump.
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party is widely expected to win Germany’s Sept. 24 election but will need to form a ruling coalition -- with whom?
The outcome will go a long way toward shaping the path forward for Europe’s biggest economy, and Oskar Niedermeyer, a political scientist at Berlin’s Free University, warns that all potential partners “have their pitfalls” -- some of which could complicate Brexit talks.
Elections in Norway and New Zealand on Sept. 11 and 23, respectively, may see current opposition parties form coalition governments. Any effects stemming from these votes will likely be contained to domestic financial assets.

Wait, There’s More…

·         summit of BRIC leaders hosted by China just ended -- days after tensions between the world’s second-largest economy and India caused a standoff in the Himalayas
·         The Trump team will continue to renegotiate NAFTA
·         Brexit talks are scheduled to continue
·         Initial jobless claims will give the earliest indication of Hurricane Harvey’s potential economic toll. Judging by past storms, the peak effect will occur three weeks after the disaster, according to economists at Morgan Stanley.
·         @realDonaldTrump will surely tweet
·         On a lighter note, the Apple’s new iPhone 8 debuts

Oh, things won’t get quieter once the calendar flips, either: the Catalan independence referendum is scheduled for the first day of October.

Below are videos about Hurricane Irma.

Below are videos of Montana's Rice Ridge Fire, 
unbelievable; this forest fire has rapidly spread to over 100,000 acres! Over one million acres are burning in the U.S. west.
