US Deploys Military Assets to Middle East: 

What We Know

Newsweek 10/01/25

"A massive wave of U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotankers has moved into the Middle East, marking one of the largest aerial refueling deployments in recent months. Flight tracking shows aircraft departing from Atlantic bases and converging on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, headquarters of U.S. Central Command."

"The deployment signals a notable increase in U.S. military readiness in the region amid rising tensions with Iran, which has issued threats of retaliation against any attack."

"Why It Matters

The sudden deployment of dozens of KC-135 tankers comes amid a highly volatile regional environment. Similar large-scale military movements were observed just before the 12-day conflict involving Israel and U.S. strikes on Iran’s infrastructure and nuclear facilities."

"Tensions have been further fueled by stalled nuclear negotiations with Tehran and ongoing sanctions, all of which heighten the risk of rapid confrontation. The concentration of aerial refueling capability in Qatar ensures that U.S. forces can respond quickly across the region, underscoring the strategic implications of the deployment."

"What To Know

Open-source intelligence, including military tracking accounts on X, highlighted the sudden deployment. Defence_Index wrote: “Around a dozen U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotankers and other refuelers that moved to Europe in the past 48 hours are now heading to the Middle East.” The post added that the last comparable mobilization coincided with U.S. action against Iran’s nuclear facilities."

"Iran Signals Deterrence

Iran emphasized that it is prepared to defend itself, while making clear it would not start a war. Mohammad Jafar Asadi, deputy for inspections, said Tehran would extend the range of its missiles “to wherever necessary” and stressed the country would respond decisively if attacked, dismissing U.S. and European calls to limit the missile program."

"On Sunday, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, former commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), warned that even a single Israeli strike could trigger a full-scale war involving the U.S., saying, "The moment Israel starts a war, we will also enter a war with the United States," highlighting Tehran’s readiness to retaliate against both Israel and its allies."

"Study of War Warning Over Ceasefire

The warnings and the U.S. military buildup come as the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) cautioned that Iran's ceasefire with Israel is unlikely to hold and that conflict could resume. 

(Ive been maintaining that as well

since the ceasefire.)

"The report noted that Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has directed officials to designate successors to maintain leadership continuity during a potential war. ISW added that Major General Abdol Rahim Mousavi recently inspected military units and said Iran’s naval forces are fully prepared for a possible future conflict."

"What People Are Saying

Former chief commander of the IRGC Major General Mohsen Rezaei: "Negotiations aimed at giving Israel time or strengthen it [sic] are unacceptable. If that happens, the moment Israel starts a war, we will also enter a war with the United States."

"What Happens Next

The U.S. tanker deployment and Iran’s warnings signal a period of heightened vigilance across the Middle East. Attention will focus on additional movements of American aircraft or other military assets, while Tehran’s statements indicate it is prepared to respond swiftly to any perceived threats. With stalled nuclear negotiations, ongoing sanctions, and regional tensions—including the potential for renewed clashes with Israel—the situation could escalate quickly, making diplomatic engagement and careful monitoring critical in the coming weeks."

Things Newsweek didn't bring up

Batten down the hatches yawl.

Its gonna be a bumpy ride.

I wouldn't be expecting much (3I/ATLAS)

 

These robots on Mars 

are about to get our closest view yet 

of the mysterious interstellar visitor

BBC Sky at night magazine.  10/01/25

BACHGROUND:

"3I/ATLAS about to disappear behind the Sun from our perspective on Earth, and won't be visible again until early December 2025, when it emerges into our sky again."

Frustratingly, this period marks the point at which it will be most active."

(Think thats an accident?

Along with all its other anomalies?)

"Between 1 and 7 October, the European Space Agency's Mars orbiters – Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter – are scheduled to observe comet 3I/ATLAS as it passes close to the planet."

"Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter are well-established missions, having been exploring Mars since 2003 and 2016, respectively."

"There hasn't been enough time to build and launch a dedicated mission to visit and explore 3I/ATLAS, so these orbiters will be carrying out observations of the comet from their unique vantage point at the Red Planet."

"ESA’s Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) will observe the comet with several instruments around its closest approach to Mars on 3 October 2025."

"Mars Express will use its High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), while and ExoMars TGO will use its Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS).

Both cameras were designed to photograph the Red Planet, 

but for a brief moment they'll be pointed at 3I/ATLAS."

(So they are going to be doing something 

they were not designed to do.)

"ESA says they'll be able to measure the spectrum of light from the comet using Mars Express’s OMEGA and SPICAM spectrometers and TGO’s NOMAD spectrometer.

This could give scientists vital information about the activity occurring at the comet's surface as it approaches the Sun.

It could even reveal more about what 3I/ATLAS is made of."

"What images will we get?"

"So are we about to get more spectacular images of 3I/ATLAS, 

like those captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, for example?"

Unfortunately not, according to ESA.

"The cameras on these spacecraft were designed 

to photograph the surface of Mars from Mars orbit, 

and won't be able to pick out much detail 

on such a relatively small comet 30 million km away."

"But the cameras may be able to capture images of its long tail"

(Notice how they didnt say it's an anti-tail, pointing TO the sun.)

and also gather data that scientists can use to find out more about what 3I/ATLAS is made of."

Now here is the kicker:

"

"NASA has also said that its Perseverance and Curiosity Mars rovers will observe 3I/ATLAS at the beginning of October, and that its Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter 

will attempt to view the comet.

"However, 

no details have yet 

been given by NASA 

as to exactly what 

its spacecraft 

will be looking for, 

or what sort of scientific data 

they might be able to gather."

(How is that even possible?

Now combine that with:

Just one data set from Hubble

and one data set from the JWST

and they had the entire month of September

with which to observe it,

and its not to hard to draw the conclusion that something just isn't right.

Also?

Do you really think:

"The highest resolution image so far was obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on July 21, 2025, when 3I/ATLAS was at a distance of 570 million kilometers from the telescope."

From 570 million KM away

With an instrument that is 34 years old?

(JWST is about 4 years old.)

And that's the highest resolution 

photo to date?

No it doesn't.)

Two Preachers...

 

First up:

Billy Graham

Parade Magazine Interview 1981

Did Billy Graham Warn Against 

Mixing Religion and Politics?

Snopes.com 2/01/2018

"The evangelical leader said in a 1981 profile that people in his position "can't be closely identified with any particular party or person."

"The hard right has no interest in religion 

except to manipulate it."

And we see exactly where that led:

"I hate my opponent. 

I don't want what's best for them"

"Sorry Erika."

And this country was nowhere near as "Hard Right" then, as it is now. Ronald Reagan couldnt win a primary in todays political environment, hes just not extreme enough.

"I don't want to see religious bigotry in any form. 

It would disturb me 

if there was a 

wedding 

between the religious fundamentalists 

and the political right. 

The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it."

It's not an accident he chose that word. 

"Wedding."

Unlike todays MAGA assortment of riff-raff, Billy Graham knew what the scripture taught.

Revelation 19:7

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Christ has one wife.

His church, 

not politics.

Anybody who ever 

tries to tell you any different?

Is a false teacher,

contradicting the word of God.

PERIOD.

"In this case, the quote is authentic, and taken from the 1 February 1981 cover story in Parade magazine; it was part of Billy Graham's account of conversations with fellow reverend Jerry Falwell, who helmed the conservative politcal group the Moral Majority. Graham said:

"It would be unfortunate if people got the impression all evangelists belong to that group. The majority do not. I don't wish to be identified with them."

(But that is exactly what happened:

"...people got the impression 

all evangelists belong to that group."

"The moral majority is neither."

My dad, a deacon at a Southern Baptist Church used to say. I was 16 or so, 

I agreed.)

"I'm for morality. But morality goes beyond sex to human freedom and social justice. We as clergy know so very little to speak out with such authority on the Panama Canal or superiority of armaments. Evangelists can't be closely identified with any particular party or person. We have to stand in the middle to preach to all people, right and left. I haven't been faithful to my own advice in the past. I will be in the future."

Guy has been rolling over in his grave for years 

at the absolute mess we have made of things.

Second up:

Lil Richard

Arsenio Hall Show

1990.

Hall: "...Let me ask you about the music coming off of the radios today, rap music, 2 Live crew, controversy, obscenity, uh, well tell me, talk about the music.

Lil Richard: "I think that those old folk they got in charge, they need to be fired. And I want to tell you something (Looks at the audience) brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen, of all races, that, dont take this thing lightly, and you said don't take it for granted because your freedoms are being in jeopardy, they are trying to stop your freedom, Yeah you see, this country was built on freedom of speech, YOU HAVE A RIGHT to sing what you wanna sing, whether its good or bad, you have a right to wear what you wanna wear, whether its pretty or ugly, you have a right to go where you want to go regardless. You understand me? If you wanna buy a pornography tape or whatever, you have a right to do it, Do you understand me? 

And if those young guys with 2 live crew, if they wanna sing whatever they're singing, I may not like it, but I aint got to buy it. I may not like it, I aint gotta look at it. I may not buy it, I may not listen to it, but they have a right, to sing it! 

You understand me? You have a right to be, you have a right, to worship God, you got the right to be Jewish, Catholic, Seventh day Adventist, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, thats your RIGHT. Cant nobody tell you what type of church you should go in

thats your right! Now let me ask you something, God gave that Listen, I wanna let you know that God gave it to you, and its in the word of God. Your freedoms are being taken! Stand up for it. 

"Crazy people are going to ruin this country. See, the people that, these are re these religious fanatics, they are gonna call people that are true Christians religious fanatics but there are some people that are just Devils and call themselves Christians. You understand me? And they want you to stop doing everything. 

"They tell you they dont look at no book and up under the mattress there aint nothing but books."

(John 1:47

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, 

and saith of him, 

Behold an Israelite indeed, 

in whom is no guile!

(Cunning deceit.)

"They tell you that they dont drink and up under their uh uh bottles everywhere. You understand me? 

And you have got to remember 

that you got to protect yourself 

by studying for yourself, 

you dont take what no preacher tell you. 

Read for yourself."

AMEN!

Brother Joseph Kim is the only preacher I have ever heard say from a pulpit during a sermon on Sunday:

"Dont take my word for it.

Be a Berean.

Study it for yourself.

Come to your own conclusions

if you think I've got

 something wrong."

(Paraphrased)

So Kudos to him for that.

Lil closing note, true story.

When I first moved to these parts 28 years ago or so, I was working on a big construction project. One of the guys I was working with used to do sanitation, worked on a garbage truck. He would empty the trash cans in the truck, it may be hard to believe but back then where we are was a dry county, you had to go across the river to Indiana or to the next county over to purchase any alcohol. (That changed a few years back). On more than one occasion he made comments something to the effect of:

"All these people that wanna keep this a dry county? You should have seen the amount of bottles in their trash every week. Im talking the upper crust, in church every Sunday Holy rollers etc I mean we knew who they were...If you only saw what I saw in their trash cans when I would empty them."

An elderly lady I used to work with 

and again this is years ago:

"I'm Presbyterian."

Me: "Whats that?"

Her: "It means you dont have to hide the bottle 

when I come over."

Needless to say we got along great :-).

Aint no guile over here.

Say whatever you want

couldnt care less.

And BTW?

Dad loved Lil Richard :-).

and Billy Graham

And so do I.

Not quite Homie...

 

(and yes I understand its a a parody account )

More like you are going to be 

the one to fall on it:

He that leadeth into captivity

he that killeth with the sword 

must be killed with the sword. 

Here is the patience 

and the faith of the saints.

And that is the last verse 

in Revelation 13 

about the false prophet.

WE KNOW 

WHO HAS THE SWORD!

Revelation 19:15

15 And out of his mouth goeth 

a sharp sword, 

that with it 

he should smite the nations: 

and he shall rule them

Updated 3I/ATLAS Mars flyby, today...

 

So this thing gets blasted 

with a 

Coronal Mass Ejection 

pointed right at it?

on 09/25/25?

("A CME arriving at Earth 

results in a shock wave..."

Well if it results in a shockwave on earth 

which has a diameter of 

approx. 8000 miles?

What do you think its going to do to something

that has a diameter of 5-30 miles?

HUM?

Best guess?

Logical Rational Brain God gave ya.

And there are no images 

of the CME

hitting it?

None?

Zero?

Nada?

And scientist

"are concerned" 

about 

"a possible change"

 in its trajectory?

That was six days ago.

How long does it take to figure out 

if there was a change in its trajectory?

WTF?

And why?

Did we only get one data set, 

from both 

the Hubble and the James Webb 

Space telescopes?

During the entire month of September, 

when it was best positioned 

to be viewed 

with our two best instruments?

WTF?

And now they are saying they

"hope" 

to get some images of it

from the Mars rover etc.

None of this, 

is adding up.

Absolutely

None of it.

NASA goes dark hours before first look at interstellar object moving closer to Earth

MSN 10/03/25

"Two space probes orbiting the Red Planet, Mars Express and ExoMars, are preparing to take Earth's best picture and closest scans of the strange visitor, which scientists have widely concluded is an unusual comet from a distant solar system."

"However, when those readings come in, America's space agency may remain completely silent about what the object really is."

"NASA has announced that its official website will not be updated during the government shutdown, which has resulted in thousands of federal employees being sent home without pay."

"It's unclear whether NASA staff will make any announcements regarding the object's close pass by Mars,..."

"The shutdown couldn't have come at a worse time, as scientists say Friday's flyby could answer many questions about the mysterious comet..."

"The new data during the Mars encounter will certainly help in clarifying some of the anomalies of 3I/ATLAS, like its anomalous size and composition, but it will not explain its rare alignment with the ecliptic plane of the planets and rare timing in arriving close to Mars, Venus, and Jupiter,' Loeb explained."

"NASA and the European Space Agency have said that Friday's historic meeting over Mars should also clear up questions about the suspected comet's trajectory through space and its physical properties. "

(Well...

YA know?...

Were waiting...)

What is the Nature of 3I/ATLAS?

Avi Loeb Medium 09/27/25

Kinda funny really

but then not funny either.

"Imagine noticing a new animal in your backyard with a tail coming out of its forehead instead of its rear end. After looking at its image, experts argue that it must be a cat because cats have a tail. You point out that cats do not have an anti-tail but the experts dismiss the anomaly and keep telling reporters that any street animal with a tail must be a cat. You also calculate that the animal is at least a thousand times more massive than the only street cat that was previously identified in your backyard, but experts dismiss the anomaly and argue that some cats might be much bigger than others. You also realize that the animal moves along a rare path targeting specific assets near your house, and sheds materials with a composition of industrially-made nickel alloys, but experts ignore these inconvenient facts and claim that rare things happen all the time. While you keep your focus on the animal, zealot influencers, bloggers and science popularizers say loudly that considering anything other than a cat is harmful to science and dangerous to society, because we all know that street cats are common. You write multiple reports about the various anomalies of this animal, suggesting to keep an open mind about its nature. The editor handling your report on the anomalous mass of this animal scrutinizes the wording you use and requests that you will describe the animal as an unusually massive cat and not speculate on alternatives. The same editor goes public and makes negative personal remarks about you, and his boss explains that there is nothing unethical about this behavior. When you write another paper to explain the properties of the anti-tail coming from the head of the animal based on known physics, a different editor declines to process the manuscript for review by arguing: “I believe that your results would be of rather limited interest to the research community as a whole.”

"If this sounds like a hallucinated nightmare, think twice. To make it real, all you need to do is replace the term `street animal’ with `interstellar object’, `cat’ with `comet’, `backyard’ with the `inner solar system’, `animal’ with `3I/ATLAS’, and the `previous street-cat’ with `2I/Borisov’. An editor did make the quoted statement about the paper I wrote with Eric Keto (accessible here) which is the only paper in the literature providing a physical explanation for the anti-tail observed in the highest resolution image of 3I/ATLAS, taken on July 21, 2025 by the Hubble Space Telescope (accessible here). In addition, 3I/ATLAS followed a fine-tuned path aligned with the ecliptic plane of the planets (as discussed here) and shed nickel without iron (as reported here). The new study that I co-authored on the anomalously high mass of 3I/ATLAS based on the lack of non-gravitational acceleration (accessible here), is still blocked from public view for several days by arXiv moderators without an explanation.

"The best way to resolve this saga of self-propagated ignorance about the nature of the `street animal’ in our backyard is to obtain a high-resolution image of it from a surveillance camera close to its path. Indeed, within a week we expect to get an image of 3I/ATLAS with a spatial resolution that is a hundred times better than that of the Hubble image. The HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is expected to achieve a pixel resolution of 30 kilometers on October 3, 2025 when 3I/ATLAS will be at a distance of 29 million kilometers from it. The amount of sunlight reflected from the brightest pixel in the HiRISE image will inform us of the nucleus surface area for an assumed albedo value."

"The first recognized interstellar object, 1I/`Oumuamua, did not show any evidence for a tail. Comet experts insist that this `animal’ is `a cat with an invisible tail’, namely a `dark comet’ (as discussed here). That an `animal without a tail’ is labeled a `dark cat’ by mainstream scientists illustrates how dogmatic is the culture of present-day academia. Within this culture, anomalies are ignored, attempts to explain them using known physics are sidelined and scientists who dare to challenge traditional thinking are ridiculed on social media."

(Cult of group think much?)

"The five anomalies of 3I/ATLAS, including its anomalously polarized light (as reported here), suggest that we are missing something, but dogmatists insist that there is nothing fundamentally new to be learned. With that mindset, challenging evidence is not studied in sufficient detail and the opportunity to learn something new is missed because of unwarranted orthodoxy."

(How dare you challenge the Orthodoxy!)

"The self-imposed ignorance inflicted by the refusal to be open minded is easy to correct. We must reward scientists who challenge orthodoxy and focus attention on anomalies. Instead of insisting that all `street-animals’ in our backyard are `cats’, we must study agnostically the visitors who appear unusually massive, move on rare fine-tuned trajectories, show strange tails and shed unusual chemicals. Such a research focus will allow us to learn something new about our cosmic neighborhood and provide the practical benefit of protecting our family from existential threats."

"...this saga of self-propagated ignorance..."

"The self-imposed ignorance..."

Scientist are the only ones guilty.

–Peter on self-worth, 1983.

I just went through

 

the transcript from Netanyahu's address 

to the UN General Assembly.

Take a guess how many times he mentioned Syria?

SEVEN

Let that sink in for a second.

"Israel's victories over the Iranian terror axis have opened up 36:33 possibilities for peace that were unthinkable two years ago. Take Syria. 36:40

For decades, the very idea of peace between Israel and Syria seemed unimaginable. 36:47 Well, no more. Today, we have begun serious negotiations with 36:53 the new Syrian government. I believe an agreement can be reached that respects Syria's sovereignty and 37:00 protects both Israeli security and the security of the minorities in the region, including the Druze minority.

That was four above, 

and here are the other three:

4:06

"In Syria, the murderous dictator Assad hosted Iran's forces, tightening a noose."

5:00

"...dropped to the ground. We destroyed Assad's armaments in Syria."

5:56

"...gone. The Assad regime in Syria gone."

Micah 5:5 

indeed.

then shall we raise against him

principal men.

Right in-between

the end of this wicked age

(Seven, completion)

and the start of the new one.

(Eight, the new beginning)

One more time for all the dunderheads that don't understand simple physics, let alone biblical prophecy:

SNOWBALLS DONT 

ROLL BACK UPHILL

JUST BECAUSE 

YOU WANT THEM TO!

This is it right here.

People that know prophecy know:

Israel makes a treaty 

with the Antichrist 

at the start of the end times.

(The Last of Daniels 70/7's).

Daniel 9:27

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

So if this aint it?

Then where is it?

How is it going to present itself better 

somewhere else down the line?

How much longer are you gonna 

choose to live

in self-deluded ignorance?

You should have been telling your flocks a long time ago instead of just meandering on with the status quo, same old same old.

Me and honey

 just aren't allowed that choice.

 "Self-deluded ignorance"

And honestly?

I'm glad.

I enjoy seeing Gods promises come true,

as I know what that holds in store for us.

It makes everything a lot easier to bear.

It really does.

Ive said this for years, 

the longer you deny it?

The harder its gonna be on you.

"Ive got to quit lying to myself

and let the truth be told."

The song says.

How in the world, 

can multitudes of preachers

tell their flocks for years

that at the start of the end-times 

the Anti-Christ will make a peace treaty with Israel

and then here we are witnessing it come into fruition and multitudes of preachers just remain silent?

HOWS SIDE ARE YOU ON?

If that was me?

I wouldn't be able to live with myself

or my conscious any more.

It would eat me alive.

Apparently?

Theres a multitude of preachers 

that got no problem with it.

Figures...

seems to be about how things go.
