Lithuania ready to 'fight back' but has evacuation plans in face of Russia threats, says Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius

 Lithuania's prime minister has stated that his country has made evacuation plans in the face of threats from Russia, but added they "will not surrender" if attacked.

Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius told Newsnight that Lithuanians feel "constantly threatened" by Russia, in part because of drones entering the nation's airspace. 

He told Newsnight if his country was attacked, "we will fight back... we will engage". But he said there were plans for a "variety of scenarios" and used an example of getting elderly citizens out of cities "smoothly" and avoiding traffic jams.

Lithuania, a Nato member, shares a land border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. "We're thinking about a variety of scenarios, not all of them are being discussed very much publicly," Sinkevičius told the BBC.

"We face concrete threats, not on a daily basis, but we're experiencing them and it's a true reality for us."

Sinkevičius also said the UK needed a "shift in the mindset" in terms of its approach to defence, but noted that Lithuania was "closer to the border and closer to [the] threat".

Last week Nato fighter pilots shot down a drone that entered Lithuania's airspace.

Lithuania has experienced numerous incidents in the past year, which it describes as "hybrid attacks" and blames on neighbouring Belarus, a close Russian ally.

Late on Monday night, flights were disrupted at Lithuania's main airport in the capital Vilnius, because of what the airports operator called a "hybrid attack carried out by Belarus", involving objects that appeared to resemble the shape of balloons.

The president's chief adviser, Deividas Matulionis, said on Tuesday it was unclear whether the objects were balloons.

Iran must stop arming Houthis in Yemen, G7 says ahead of UN General Assembly

 Iran must "end its arming of and support" for the Houthis in Yemen, the foreign ministers of G7 nations have said in a joint statement.

The G7 also condemned "in the strongest terms" Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, adding that the recent escalation in fighting against Saudi-backed forces in Yemen represented a threat to regional and global energy security.

Thousands of refugees have fled Yemen in recent days after the Iran-backed group seized territory along the country's Red Sea coastline, including near the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a critical shipping route for global trade.

The statement comes ahead of the annual UN General Assembly in New York, where senior Iranian officials are due to speak.

"We call on the Houthis to immediately cease all military actions, all threats and attacks against civilian shipping, and to return to the political process in good faith," said the foreign ministers of the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States.

It went on: "Their reprehensible actions constitute a dangerous pattern of escalation that risks further exacerbating the conflict, undermining international trade and creating global economic instability."

"Looking forward, we will continue to support the legitimate Government of Yemen and reaffirm our strong commitment to the unity, sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Yemen," the ministers said. Their statement was issued following a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

The Alert Level for the Iranian Military Has Been Raised to the Highest Possible Level as a Massive Escalation Appears to Be Imminent

The Great Middle East War is poised to escalate to an entirely new level, and that could have huge implications for the entire planet. Diesel prices are already spiraling out of control, and strict energy rationing measures are already being implemented in impoverished nations such as Pakistan. Unfortunately, it appears that another round of fighting could be about to erupt in the Middle East. Within the past 24 hours, there have been a lot of rumors that the alert level for the Iranian military has been raised to the highest level possible. According to a major Iranian news agency, these rumors are accurate…

An Iranian official said Iran has raised its military readiness to the highest level, with response plans prepared at air, ground and naval levels to deliver a heavy, wide and surprising response to U.S. and Israeli forces and interests.

From Yom Kippur to October 7: When Israel’s Holy Days Become Opportunities for Her Enemies to Strike

By Paul Scharf - https://harbingersdaily.com/from-yom-kippur-to-october-7-why-the-unholy-ambitions-of-israels-enemies-are-most-on-display-on-holy-days/

As Jewish people around the world are in the midst of observing their High Holy Days, they do so this year with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. While these holidays hold great spiritual significance to so many, the Jewish people remember that these days can be mixed with tragedy.

God gave the children of Israel three fall feasts:

• The Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah (Tishri 1; Leviticus 23:23–25; Numbers 29:1–6). This two-day celebration marks the beginning of a new year for the people of Israel.

• The Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur (Tishri 10; Leviticus 23:26–32; Numbers 29:7–11). This day of elaborate ceremony (Leviticus 16:1–34) foreshadowed the forthcoming, final sacrifice of the Messiah to remove our sins forever (Hebrews 9:6–14).

Yemenis flee across Red Sea as Houthis and Saudi-backed forces escalate war

Ibrahim Issa, 50, is from the Yemeni coastal town of Dhubab, right on the front lines of the war between Yemen's Houthis and the Saudi-backed pro-government forces fighting them.

Today he sits, surrounded by his family, on a tarpaulin spread over a sandy floor inside a vast open-sided warehouse at Markazi camp in Obock, northern Djibouti, packed with Yemeni families who have fled by boat across the narrow Bab al-Mandab Strait.

After their sea crossing, Yemeni refugees have made their way by truck and on foot to this camp, jointly administered by the government and the UN.

"How could I just sit there when my kids are screaming and shaking in terror?" says Ibrahim Issa. "When the sound of the planes start, and the kids hear the planes, they begin shouting and screaming. As parents it is our responsibility, what can you do when you see this? That is why we fled, to save them."

UK to provide Saudi Arabia with 'defensive' military support, says Burnham

Andy Burnham has said the UK will provide "defensive air-to-air refuelling" support for Saudi Arabia, in response to attacks the country has faced from the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.

It is understood this is likely to begin in the coming days and will involve a single British aircraft, a Voyager, based out of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus.

The prime minister said it follows a request from Saudi Arabia for "military support", which he agreed to on the advice of Defence Secretary Wes Streeting and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband.

Government officials said the offer is "time limited" and likely, in the first instance, to last "for weeks". The Houthis are locked in a civil war with Yemen's internationally recognised government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia.

In recent days, the Houthis in Yemen say they have carried out drone and ballistic missile attacks on the Saudi capital Riyadh, as well as energy sites on the country's Red Sea coast.

Artificial intelligence may become the most powerful information technology humanity has ever created. Now the United Nations wants a greater role in shaping how AI is governed worldwide. As global standards begin taking shape around information, identity and digital systems, Christians should be asking a larger question: who ultimately controls the gatekeeper through which billions may understand the world?

Britain's most senior Christian leader presented an interfaith award to a Muslim cleric who once proposed honoring Osama bin Laden with the title “Sword of God” — on September 11. The award was later withdrawn, while another Church of England institution closed a Gaza exhibit after learning it included Hamas fighters. Is this a vetting problem, or something deeper?

A new survey finds 67% of Jewish voters plan to support Democratic congressional candidates even as Israel becomes an increasingly contentious issue inside the party. The numbers reveal something deeper than politics: American Jews are divided over faith, identity and Israel in ways many pro-Israel Christians may not understand. And Christians are experiencing a strikingly similar fracture within their own churches.

ELON MUSK PLANS TO RECREATE THE WORLD INTO A GODLESS TRANSHUMAN END TIMES DYSTOPIA

 THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Elon Musk Resurrects The Spirit Of Babel With Plans To Recreate The World Into A Godless Transhuman End Times Dystopia

"Doormat Christianity Hits New Low" by Raymond Ibrahim

 There have been quite a number of shameless outbursts of Doormat Christianity of late. (I define this term as the conviction, shared by way too many Christians, that their faith begins and ends with them behaving like doormats for everyone—especially non-Christians—to wipe their feet on. The most obvious took place in Britain (yes, shocker).

On September 11, the Church of England presented an “interfaith” award to a Pakistani Muslim cleric who in 2007 publicly hailed bin Laden as “Saifullah” (Sword of Allah) for waging jihad against “infidels,” and who champions Pakistan’s blasphemy laws that enable the widespread persecution of Christians.

The “irony” only gets worse: the award that “Archbishop” Sarah Mullally bestowed on the Muslim cleric is named after a Crusader who fought alongside Richard the Lionheart in the Third Crusade.

Following the inevitable uproar, Mullally quietly revoked the prize without apology, leaving behind only the indelible image of herself—the “leader” of the Church of England—smiling beside the cleric who praised bin Laden and his niqab-clad wife, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the day bin Laden orchestrated the murder of nearly 3,000 Americans.
