Headline: UN Calls for a 3 Year Truce for Hamas to Rebuild
A top United Nations (UN) official warned on Thursday that another war will break out in Gaza, calling on Israel to lift its “blockade” and for Hamas – the terrorist organization with the genocide of Jews written in its charter – to stop fighting. The UN also called for an additional $705 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza and Palestinian Authority (PA) held Judea and Samaria, with most of it for Gaza which was highly damaged in Hamas’s third full-blown terror war on Israel last summer. “Right now, things are not going well, and we’re very concerned about the possibility of a further conflict,” James Rawley, UN humanitarian chief for the Palestinian territories, told AFP. “But it’s not inevitable…as long as several things happen.” “To have a complete recovery of Gaza, even to go back to where we were in July (before the 50-day conflict) requires more than construction material going in. It requires a lifting of the blockade,” said Rawley. Rawley called for a “reconstruction hudna (truce) for three to five years” to allow rehabilitation of the increasingly unstable coastal enclave. Meanwhile the UN, at a news conference in Ramallah, said 75% of the additional aid it needs would be destined for Gaza, while the rest would be allocated to Judea and Samaria. Delivery of building materials to reconstruct damaged homes had increased significantly after a slow start, Rawley said, with “good cooperation” from Israel, which controls two of Gaza’s three crossings. Egypt controls the third.

Headline: IDF security assessment: The Palestinian Authority can collapse at any moment
This coming Monday IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz will end his four year term and will be replaced by Maj.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot. Waiting on Eisenkot’s desk are some chilling security assessments including the potential risk that the security situation in the West Bank will deteriorate in the near future. Over the past weeks, in the context of Gantz’s farewells to the various IDF divisions, the outgoing Chief of Staff spoke again and again about the fragile security reality in the West Bank. Gantz even spoke of the influence of politics on the territory, probably in reference to the upcoming Israeli elections and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ unilateral moves in international bodies. Another cause of the “heating up” of the West Bank is Israel’s decision not to transfer tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority in response to its ICC membership – a move that is bringing about the collapse of the Palestinian economy. Against this background, the army has told the government that at any given moment the Palestinian Authority can collapse.
In one of the scenarios that the IDF presented, a small localized security incident, like an altercation between settlers and Palestinians, or the throwing of a Molotov cocktail could quickly escalate to rioting in the Galilee and the Triangle area. With the weakened Palestinian Authority a situation like this is liable to lead to terrorist organizations taking control of the West Bank.

Israeli military officers believe that “it is only a matter of time” before the radical Islamic State jihadist organization attempts to “employ its significant military capabilities” against towns and cities that straddle the border with the Sinai Peninsula. Israel Radio on Friday quoted a senior officer serving in the IDF Engineering Corps as saying that the military spent the past year preparing for anticipated hostile actions from armed Islamist groups in Sinai.

Jordan
Headline: Congress Calls for Expedited Weapons for Jordan to Fight IS
Members of Congress are calling on the Obama administration to expedite weapons to Jordan, an important Arab ally on the frontlines of the fight against Islamic State extremists. Jordan has intensified its fight against the jihadist group, vowing to wipe out the Islamic State, after militants burned alive a captured Jordanian pilot. The Hashemite Kingdom is ramping up its airstrikes, hitting Islamic State training camps, barracks and ammunition depots. This tempo requires more weapons and leading U.S. members of Congress, like Republican Senator John McCain, are calling for increased support. “This committee’s immediate concern is to ensure Jordan has all the equipment and resources necessary to continue taking the fight directly to ISIL,” he said. Jordanian officials say they want revenge after IS posted a horrific video of a captured Jordanian pilot who was burned alive. The same day the video was released, Jordan’s King Abdullah was in Washington seeking precision munitions, aircraft parts and additional night-vision equipment. Analysts say the arms transfers are crucial because Jordan is such an important ally in the fight against IS. “Jordan is the best partner of the United States in this war,” said David Schenker, who directs the Program on Arab Politics at The Washington Institute. “They are critical. They are the base of operations of all air operations targeting IS in Syria.”

Iran’s leading proxy is promoting it acquisition of a U.S.-origin main battle tank. A Hizbullah video showed a 60-vehicle convoy in Iraq with the M1A1 main battle tank, Long War Journal reported. The video, posted on YouTube, showed an Abrams MBT as well as the U.S.-origin M113 armored personnel carriers and Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected or MRAP. The convoy of Hizbullah Brigades, said to be inspired and linked to Lebanon’s Hizbullah, also showed the Safir 4×4 armored vehicle developed by Iran. Hizbullah flew its flag over the Abrams and other U.S. vehicles. The Abrams was seen on a U.S.-origin tank transporter. The video did not indicate where Hizbullah acquired the U.S. armored vehicles. The Iraq Army lost scores of M1A1 in the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant offensive in the north in June 2014, Middle East Newsline reported. The United States has acknowledged that more than 2,000 American-origin vehicles, most of them Humvees, were captured by ISIL in its takeover of Mosul.

Headline: ISIS poised to attack Christian towns
The Al-Qaeda-affiliated Abdullah Azzam Brigades is reportedly planning attacks across Lebanon and plotting the assassination of political and non-political figures, local newspaper As-Safir reported Friday. The report, citing information obtained by security and military agencies, said Abdullah Azzam Brigades cells were preparing to carry out bomb attacks and fire rockets on a Lebanese city and its surrounding, and also on a main highway linking a Lebanese region with Beirut. This has prompted authorities to take measures, including informing a number of political and non-political figures about the need to take extreme caution and restrict their movements, As-Safir cited a security source as saying. The report said a Syrian national identified only by his initials F.Sh. has rigged three cars with explosives: A silver Kia, a dark blue Nissan Maxima and a BMW X5.

Cairo is fighting Islamist insurgents who have killed hundreds of police and soldiers since the army ousted moderate Islamist president Mohamed Mursi in 2013 following mass protests. No one claimed responsibility for the bomb in the Cairo neighborhood of Ain Shams which wounded one civilian and seven police officers plus the police captain who died of his injuries in hospital. Security sources said warplanes struck the Sinai town of Rafah, along Egypt’s border with the Gaza Strip.

Egypt’s foreign ministry reiterated its warning to Egyptians not to travel to Libya, and advised its nationals living in the neighboring country to remain vigilant and stay away from high-tension areas, an official told al-Masry al-Youm. Meanwhile, the state-owned English-language Ahram Online cited a presidential statement saying that Egypt was closely following developments in the kidnapping of 21 Coptic Egyptians in Libya, following the release of a report by ISIS on Thursday. ISIS showed photographs of the kidnapped Egyptians in orange jumpsuits.

Syria Headline: Syria opposition calls for help against Assad as death toll rises
The head of Syria’s main opposition-in-exile group called Thursday on world leaders to take “immediate action” to end government attacks on rebel-held suburbs of Damascus, amid reports that some 150 people have been killed in government airstrikes in the past 10 days. Khaled Khoja, leader of the National Coalition, made the appeal at a news conference held from the group’s base in Turkey. The government has been pounding the eastern Ghouta suburbs of Damascus for days as part of a military campaign against rebel-held districts east and south of the capital Damascus. Douma, a sprawling town east of Damascus, has taken the brunt of the airstrikes. “The Assad regime’s killing of children and the elderly with rockets, barrel bombs, and toxic gases is as a crime as horrible as ISIS’ laughtering and burning of people alive,” Khoja said. He said Assad’s “barbaric assault” on Douma constitutes a war crime and urged the U.N. to force the Syrian leader to stop indiscriminate bombardment of rebel-held territory.

Iraq Headline: Iraqi Army Repels Attack on Base Hosting U.S. Marines
Iraqi security forces on Friday repelled an attack by Islamic State insurgents against an air base in Anbar province where U.S. Marines are training Iraqi troops, Iraqi and U.S. military officials said. Militants from the jihadist group had attacked the Ain al-Asad base and the nearby town of al-Baghdadi a day earlier, leading to sporadic clashes in the town overnight. Al-Baghdadi has been besieged for months by Islamic State, which captured swathes of northern and western Iraq last year, prompting a campaign of U.S.-led airstrikes and the deployment of hundreds of U.S. military advisers to the country. A U.S. defense official said the Iraqi forces had stopped the attack and re-secured the facility. “Coalition forces were several kilometers from the attack and at no stage were they under direct threat from this action,” the official said. About 320 U.S. Marines are training members of the Iraqi 7th Division at the base, which has been struck by mortar fire on at least one previous occasion since December. Iraq’s Defense Ministry said on its website the Iraqi army killed eight assailants near the base, which is about 85 km (50 miles) northwest of Ramadi. An Iraqi military official in Baghdad told Reuters the insurgents had taken advantage of a lull in the airstrikes, caused by poor weather, to launch the offensive. He said Islamic State had been cleared from most of al-Baghdadi, with the remaining fighting centered around a police station.

Iraq Headline: Iraqi Terrorists Destroy Synagogue, Take Over Ezra’s Tomb
Terrorists in Iraq have seized a major synagogue and holy site in Amara, the Elder of Ziyon blog reported Wednesday – and have already destroyed much of it. According to the Iraqi media site quoted by the blog, the synagogue will become the new southern headquarters of the terrorists, whose name and affiliation are unspecified. All roads to the synagogue have been blocked and journalists have been banned from reporting on the takeover. The media site also added that Ezra’s tomb in the Amara area has also been stripped of its Jewish identity, and may possibly have been destroyed. The move is yet another blow to Iraq’s Jewish community, which the blog notes is down to a mere ten Jews – despite 2,500 years of Jewish life which began with the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem. While both reports decline to specify the name of the terror group, news of the demolition follows multiple reports that Islamic State (ISIS) has systemically destroyed multiple Jewish holy sites in Iraq.

The Peshmerga forces have arrived in the outskirts of the city of Mosul, in northern Iraq, which is under the Islamic State’s (IS/ISIS) control, amid preparations for storming the city with support of the U.S.-led international coalition, local sources from Mosul reported on Thursday. In the meantime, the so-called Popular Mobilization Forces (armed Shiite factions and volunteers) arrived in the city of Dohuk in the Kurdistan Region to be trained in a camp there and then join the fight against IS militants. Kurdish military officials said that this ground attack will be widespread to target the IS strongholds, particularly those located between Syria’s al-Bukamal and Iraq’s al-Qaem areas, pointing out that several military units from Jordan, Kuwait, UAE and Saudi Arabia will take part in the operations. Iranian and Kurdish special units will support the Iraqi army in the invasion of the IS-held provinces of Anbar and Nineveh. On the other hand, the IS group in Mosul is studying a plan for the upcoming battle, taking into consideration the need for more military capabilities and economic expertise to repel the attack. “Thus the radical group is thinking of an efficient strategy to expel this ground attack on their strongholds in Mosul,” a military source told ARA News under condition of anonymity.

Turkey’s ruling party said on Friday that important statements over progress of the peace process with Kurds should be expected “in the coming days.” Besir Atalay, spokesman for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) made the remarks in an interview with Turkish NTV news channel. Atalay, also deputy AKP chairman and the party’s leading figure to oversee the peace process, said “there is a huge activity on the peace process recent weeks. The process is going on effectively.” Noting a key law adopted by the parliament last year that included a roadmap for the peace process, he said talks have been focusing on carrying out the road map, adding that “we have achieved a substantial progress on this sense.” Atalay also said that “a certain progress will be made before the parliamentary elections in June and this will make a significant contribution on the election.” However, the spokesman did not elaborate on the progress. He instead hinted the possibility for the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) to lay down arms, saying that the government will follow up after the disarmament and the end of violence.

Iran
Headline: Secret Iranian Unit Ships Illegal Weapons Throughout Middle East
A covert cell operating under the Iranian government is fueling the bloodshed throughout the Middle East and North Africa, Fox News revealed Thursday. Unit 190, a secret arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force made up of about two-dozen employees, has for years smuggled arms to these conflict zones, the network said. After an extensive investigation tracing the land, air and sea routes used by the Quds Force to move weapons to Hezbollah, Hamas and now the Houthis in Yemen, Fox News has also learned from western intelligence sources the name of the Iranian man who is a key player in Unit 190: Behnam Shahariyari, born in 1968 in Ardabil, northwest Iran. Western intelligence sources who spoke to the network said Shahariyari runs a network of straw companies which skirt sanctions and pack RPG’s, night-vision equipment and long-range rockets in powdered milk, cement and spare vehicle parts. “Very often arms and explosives were placed in trucks underneath legal cargo in order to hide them,” said Michael Eisenstadt, director of Military and Security Studies programs for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

Qassem Soleimani, Commander of the al-Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, said that the principles of the “Islamic revolution of Iran” are spreading across Syria, Iraq, Bahrain and Yemen. “The unique achievements for the Islamic Revolution have formed the basis for resistance against the enemies in the region,” Soleimani said during celebrations of the 36th anniversary of the Iranian revolution in the city of Kerman. “This showed the growth of capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the face of its enemies,” Soleimani added. Soleimani praised the recent “victories” of the Lebanese militia of Hezbollah against what he described “the Zionist occupation forces”, in reference to the escalations that took place a few weeks before between Israel and Hezbollah in the Shebaa Farms. This followed Israel’s assassination of a number of senior leaders of Hezbollah and one of the commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards at the Syrian side of the Golan Heights. The Commander of the al-Quds Force pointed out that Hezbollah is “one of the main pillars of resistance in the region” and is able to direct heavy blows to Israel despite the capacities the Israeli army enjoys.

Afghanistan
Headline: US reportedly increases secret raids against Afghanistan insurgents
U.S. Special Forces soldiers and their Afghan allies have undertaken an increasing number of night raids targeting Taliban and Al Qaeda militants, despite Washington formally declaring an end to combat operations late last year, according to a published report. The New York Times reports that the increased raids are partially the result of intelligence seized in October of last year, when U.S. and Afghan commandos came upon a laptop computer with files detailing terror operations in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan. Military officials tell the paper that the information in the files could be as significant as what was found on a computer in Usama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound after the terror leader was killed by Navy SEALs in 2011. The officials also said that another factor playing the role in the increased raids were loosened restrictions on nighttime operations put in place by the new Afghan president, Ashraf Ghani. Ghani has previously called for a slower withdrawal of U.S. troops from his country. Current plans call for the U.S. to go from about 10,800 troops there now to 5,500 by the end of this year.

As Sudan gears up for general elections in April, the country’s president, Omar al-Bashir, has ramped up the fight against rebel forces across the country. Bashir, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, has vowed to end the rebellions against his government by the time of the elections. Nuba Reports, an independent group of journalists, obtained dramatic footage of latest battles in the Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan. The videos also show government troops traveling through the region, rebel fighters taking over army supplies and desperate civilians fleeing the violence. “Yesterday we witnessed the fighting in Angartu,” refugee Ibrahim Bargil told Nuba Reports, referring to a town in South Kordofan. “The bombing was too intense and completely random, so people were terrified and left Angartu.” Angartu, which is near the rebels’ capital of Kauda, has been at the center of recent fierce fighting between the SPLA-N and Sudanese government troops. The government has launched its largest offensive since 2011, according to Nuba Reports, and at least 10,000 people have been displaced because of the violence this fighting season alone.

Gunmen claiming to be members of the Islamic State jihadist group have seized control of a state-run radio station in Libya’s coastal city of Sirte, residents said Friday. Jihadist websites also posted pictures showing armed men sitting in front of microphones in a broadcasting studio and brandishing Kalashnikov assault rifles. “They took Radio Sirte yesterday (Thursday). Since then they have been broadcasting (verses from) the Koran and speeches by (IS chief Abu Bakr) al-Baghdadi,” a resident of the central city told AFP by telephone. The resident said speeches of IS spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani were also being played on the air. A former local administration official said the gunmen have set up a headquarters in the centre of the city, and voiced concern that they could declare an Islamic emirate in Sirte. “They could take advantage of the absence of any central government authority to transform the city into an Islamic emirate as they did in Derna,” an eastern city held by jihadist groups including IS. The man, who declined to be named, said the gunmen apparently seized the radio “as a first step to communicate with the population”. “The situation in Sirte is very complex,” he said, because many radical groups have a foothold there.

Tunisia
Headline: Tunisia Attempts to Calm Citizens After Deadly Protests Over New Border Taxes
The Tunisian government sent two of its cabinet ministers to the south of the country Wednesday, with the visit coming just days after violent protests in the region over the weekend against a border tax turned deadly. Minister of Finance Slim Chaker and the Minister of Development Yassine Ibrahim traveled to the southeastern town of Dehiba to appease the population and to reaffirm the government’s commitment to the region in the wake of the unrest. The demonstrations began Saturday in Dehiba after police seized a haul of contraband fuel, which was smuggled across the border from neighboring Libya. Locals rely on smuggled goods for economic survival, and illegal trade with Libya makes up a large part of the region’s dire economy. Protests continued through the weekend, eventually leading to clashes between protestors and security officials that resulted in multiple injuries and the death of a protester on Sunday. Local officials have launched an inquiry into the death of a young man who was killed. They are also trying to determine whether or not the police used real bullets against the crowd. Residents of Ben Guardane and Tataouine — Tunisia’s two main border crossings with Libya — staged a general strike Tuesday following the escalating violence between the police and demonstrators.

Nigerian Boko Haram militants have carried out an attack on Chad overnight, the first such assault on Chadian soil, officials say.

The Islamist militants were pushed back by Chadian troops after killing several people, residents said. Colonel Azem Bermandoua Agouna, of the Chadian military, told the BBC’s Thomas Fessy that the militants had killed one soldier and wounded a further four in the village of Ngouboua. Mr Agouna said a local chief was killed during the attack by a stray bullet. He did not confirm reports of other civilian casualties. Two Boko Haram militants were killed and five injured, he said. Residents put the number of attackers at around 30 and said they torched two-thirds of the village’s homes. “They came on board three canoes and succeeded in killing about 10 people before being pushed back by the army,” one resident told Reuters. Chadian military aircraft carried out air strikes against the militants in response, destroying their vessels, officials said.

And some groups used political maneuvers to impede the political process,” the envoy added.

At least 19 people were killed on Friday in the Pakistani city of Peshawar in a gun and bomb attack on a Shi’ite mosque, the latest sectarian violence to hit the South Asian nation. Radical Sunni Islamist groups often target mosques frequented by minority Shi’ites, whom they see as infidels. Police said armed men broke into the mosque, where people were attending Friday prayers, and opened fire, following which three explosions were heard inside the building. The Pakistani Taliban, who are fighting against the state to set up a hardline Sunni theocracy, claimed responsibility and said the attack was revenge for Pakistan’s crackdown on militants following a December school massacre. “Either Pakistan will become your graveyard, or God’s law, sharia, will be implemented,” Taliban commander Khaleefa Omar Mansoor said in a video in which he was flanked by three young militants clutching AK-47 assault rifles. “This is the first in a series of revenge attacks … Wait for the rest,” Mansoor, who had earlier claimed responsibility for the Dec. 16 school attack in which more than 150 people were killed, said in the video sent by email to reporters. The style of the mosque attack was similar to that of the school attack, when gunmen arrived in a car, set it on fire, and broke into the building using a back entrance.

Headline: Dozens of Myanmar Troops Killed on Border
Clashes between government troops and ethnic Kokang rebels near the Chinese border in Myanmar – also known as Burma – has left 47 soldiers dead and 73 wounded, state media said Friday. The Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported Friday that the government had notified Beijing, because fighting, which has raged since February 9, had forced thousands of civilians to flee across the border into China. The paper said that a Kokang renegade group had attacked military stations with the objective of capturing Laukai, the capital of the self-administered Kokang zone near the border. It was not known how many rebels had been killed or wounded. The Kokang was formerly a pro-communist fighting force that battled the government until signing a ceasefire in 1989. Fighting resumed in 2009. The clashes in Shan State, in the northeast, has alarmed China, which fears an influx of villagers fleeing violence and called this week for peace on the border.

Economic collapse Revelation 6:5-6 & James 5:1-3– Worldwide– “ When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (Revelation) “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.” (James)
Headline: Two More Harbingers Of Financial Doom That Mirror The Crisis Of 2008
The stock market continues to flirt with new record highs, but the signs that we could be on the precipice of the next major financial crisis continue to mount. A couple of days ago, I discussed the fact that the U.S. dollar is experiencing a tremendous surge in value just like it did in the months prior to the financial crisis of 2008. And previously, I have detailed how the price of oil has collapsed, prices for industrial commodities are tanking and market behavior is becoming extremely choppy. All of these are things that we witnessed just before the last market crash as well. It is also important to note that orders for durable goods are declining and the Baltic Dry Index has dropped to the lowest level on record. So does all of this mean that the stock market is guaranteed to crash in 2015? No, of course not. But what we are looking for are probabilities. We are looking for patterns. There are multiple warning signs that have popped up repeatedly just prior to previous financial crashes, and many of those same warning signs are now appearing once again.

Headline: Clashes in Venezuela as economic shortages continue to bite
Students clashed with riot police in the Venezuelan city of San Cristobal yesterday on the one-year anniversary of anti-government riots that left 43 people dead and a leading opposition leader in jail. The protests came as Venezuela’s socialist economy faces mounting shortages of food and medicines after being badly hit be a collapse in world oil prices this year that has left the country short of dollars needed to import many basic goods. The clashes in San Cristobal, the volatile western city that was a hotbed of protests in 2014, broke out after hooded demonstrators threw rocks and later Molotov cocktails at National Guard soldiers and police who responded with tear gas. Five security officials and three demonstrators were hurt in the standoff, and four students arrested, the Reuters news agency reported, citing witnesses and state authorities. Meanwhile in the capital, Caracas, two rival marches played out in pouring rain as student protestors competed for attention against a government-sponsored rally supporting Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela’s beleaguered president.

Headline: Sweden cuts rates below zero as global currency wars spread
Sweden has cut interest rates below zero and launched quantitative easing to fight deflation, becoming the latest Scandinavian state to join Europe’s escalating currency wars. The Riksbank caught markets by surprise, reducing the benchmark lending rate to minus 0.10pc and unveiled its first asset purchases, vowing to take further action at any time to stop the country falling into a deflationary trap. The bank presented the move as precautionary step due to rising risks of a “poorer outcome abroad” and the crisis in Greece. Janet Henry from HSBC said the measures are clearly a “beggar-thy neighbour” manoeuvre to weaken the krone, the latest such action in a global currency war that does little to tackle the deeper problem of deficient world demand. The move comes as neighbouring Denmark takes ever more drastic steps to stop a flood of money overwhelming its exchange rate peg to the euro and tightening the deflationary noose. The Danes have cut rates four times to minus 0.75pc in a month to combat fall-out from the European Central Bank’s forthcoming QE. They have even taken the unprecedented step of halting all issuance of government bonds.

Pestilence & Plagues Luke 21:11 & Revelation 6:8 “And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.” (Luke) “So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death (Thanatos in Greek meaning the death of the body whether natural or violent), and by the beasts of the earth” (Revelation)
Headline: Plague Is Back, With a Disturbing Twist
Back in November, the island nation of Madagascar confirmed 119 cases of plague, including 40 deaths. But the bad news recently took a disturbing turn: “The fleas that transmit this ancient disease from rats to humans have developed resistance to the first-line insecticide,” Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization, said in a new report. You probably recognize the infectious disease as the one known as the “Black Death,” which during the 14th century became a devastating epidemic that claimed an estimated 50 million lives throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. Caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, the disease spreads from rodents to humans via infected fleas. Those infected generally develop bubonic plague—exhibiting swollen lymph nodes and flu-like symptoms—or, if it spreads to the lungs, the deadlier advanced form, pneumonic plague. Caught early, antibiotics can effectively treat the disease; left untreated, however, plague kills 30 to 60 percent of those infected.

Headline: Sierra Leone locks down 700 homes after Ebola death
Sierra Leone placed hundreds of homes in the capital under Ebola quarantine on Friday, in a huge blow to its recovery less than a month after lifting travel restrictions. “Some 700 homes have been quarantined for 21 days in the tourism and fishing community of Aberdeen in the west of the capital Freetown, after the death of a fisherman who was later diagnosed Ebola positive,” said Obi Sesay of the government’s National Ebola Response Centre. The west African nation of six million had seen almost 11,000 cases and 3,363 deaths during the epidemic which has raged in west Africa for more than a year. This new struggle with the disease comes less than a month after President Ernest Bai Koroma pointed to a “steady downward trend” in new cases and lifted country-wide quarantines and travel bans.

Headline: Eleven people linked to Philippines MERS case show symptoms: WHO
Eleven people who had contact with the Philippines’ first confirmed case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are also showing symptoms, the World Health Organization said. “Eleven contacts are symptomatic. It’s a mix of family contacts and hospital contacts, the doctors and nurses who attended the case before she was tested and found positive,” said Peter Ben Embarek, a scientist at the WHO’s department of food safety and zoonoses. The patient, a 32-year-old nurse, returned from Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1 and was hospitalized the next day. The Philippines Health Ministry said on Wednesday she had tested positive for the disease, which has been linked to camels. The World Health Organization is still trying to track down more than half the people who were on the same Saudia airline flight from Riyadh to Manila. “So far close to 100 of the 225 passengers have been identified and contacted,” said Embarek.

The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.” ( Revelation 7: 16) “For behold, the day is coming,Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” Says the Lord of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch” (Malachi 4:1) Prophecy Sign: Drought Jeremiah 50:38 & Isaiah 42:15 “A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up.

Headline: Megadrought may plague parts of USA
We ain’t seen nothing yet: The intense drought in California is only an appetizer compared with what’s coming this century across much of the western and central USA, according to a study out Thursday. During the years 2050 to 2100, the Southwest and Great Plains will face a persistent “megadrought” worse than anything seen in the past 1,000 years, and the dry conditions will be “driven primarily” by human-induced global warming, scientists said. There’s at least an 80% chance of a megadrought in these regions if climate change continues unabated, Toby Ault, an atmospheric scientist at Cornell University and co-author of the research, said at a news conference Thursday in San Jose. A megadrought is defined as a drought that lasts for decades or longer, such as those that scorched portions of the West in the 12th and 13th centuries. Ault said megadroughts should be considered a natural hazard on par with earthquakes and hurricanes.
