Mark Hitchcock: Iran Is Running Out The Clock...Predicted By Ezekiel 38


Iran Is Running Out the Clock And Ezekiel 38 Predicted It
Video


The US-Iran peace negotiations are giving everyone whiplash and Mark Hitchcock explains why that's exactly what Iran wants. Iran's supreme leader Khamenei has issued 11 conditions that are complete nonstarters for the US. Iran is denying IAEA nuclear inspectors. Ballistic missiles are off the table. The Strait of Hormuz keeps opening and closing. And behind the scenes, Iran's Revolutionary Guard is quietly building covert terror cells in southern Iraq to attack Gulf states and US forces. Iran's strategy has always been simple: talk and delay. And while the world watches the negotiations, the Bible already told us where this is headed. At the G7 summit in France, two topics dominated every conversation: Iran and Russia. Those are the exact two nations at the center of the Gog and Magog invasion in Ezekiel 38. This is not a coincidence. The stage is being set. Plus: Mark Hitchcock concludes his months-long exposition of the Book of Revelation with the final words of Jesus to humanity, "Behold, I am coming quickly."

Enforcing Ideological Conformity: Brazil’s Imprisonment Of Parents And A Global UN Campaign To Eliminate Parent-led Education

Enforcing Ideological Conformity: Brazil’s Imprisonment Of Parents And A Global UN Campaign To Eliminate Parent-led Education


The stakes for home educators just got much higher. In a ruling that exposes the ideological intolerance now driving education policy in much of the world, a Brazilian court just sentenced a loving mother and father to 50 days in prison for home education.

Their crime? Homeschooling and declining to teach the far-left Brazilian regime’s curriculum on “gender and sex education” along with “tolerance and diversity.” Yes, really. But critics are speaking out as the horror makes headlines around the world and especially across the United States.

In 2020, Audato and Ieda Denardi of São Paulo began educating their daughters, Alice, 15, and Lorena, 11, at home. The reason was simple: the failures of pandemic-era remote government schooling became painfully obvious amid Covid. Millions of Americans had the same experience.

Like tens of thousands of other Brazilian families, the Denardis sought to provide a rigorous, values-based education free from the ideological pressures now ubiquitous in state institutions. Instead of praise or even tolerance, they received a criminal conviction for so-called “intellectual neglect.”

The horrifying persecution in Brazil comes amid a global campaign by the United Nations to eliminate independent, parent-led education. In a report released last year, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared that government must take charge under supposed international “human rights” law.

As this writer has been warning in articles, shows, and speeches nationwide for years, a powerful global network of totalitarians is waging a quiet war against home education and parental rights. The goal is to enforce government-approved ideas and worldviews on every child around the globe.

From German police kidnapping homeschool children and threatening parents under a Nazi-era ban to Swedish and French authorities now targeting home education, Europe is quickly sliding into tyranny. Latin America and Asia are also seeing growing interest in homeschooling, and major efforts to suppress it.

The United States has more protections than many other nations. But the war has even reared its head here. Just this year, Connecticut lawmakers passed a law forcing parents to obtain approval from “child welfare” authorities before homeschooling. Multiple states are moving in that direction.

In Brazil, the lower court in April 2026 handed down the sentence despite a prosecutor’s recommendation for acquittal. Indeed, an independent educational psychologist consulted by the court found no neglect whatsoever. But facts apparently do not matter when indoctrination of children is at stake.

The girls themselves described a structured daily routine. They study multiple languages, play piano at a high level, and read dozens of books each year — far exceeding typical public-school benchmarks. Their mother holds degrees in pedagogy and mathematics.






The Looming Shadow of the “Useless Class”


The Looming Shadow of the “Useless Class”


Harari’s Warning: A New “Useless Class” Emerges

In influential circles tied to global institutions, a chilling phrase has entered the conversation: the rise of a “useless class.” Historian and World Economic Forum advisor Yuval Noah Harari has repeatedly warned that rapid advances in artificial intelligence and automation will render vast numbers of people economically irrelevant. In his book Homo Deus and various public statements, Harari describes this emerging group not merely as unemployed but as unemployable, stripped of meaningful contributions to the economic and political systems that define modern power.

Superfluous People: What Happens When AI Replaces Humanity

He has pointed out that in the 21st century, the central economic question may become what to do with “superfluous people” once algorithms outperform humans in most tasks. This is not abstract futurism. It reflects observable trends: AI already displaces roles in manufacturing, transportation, customer service, coding, analysis, and creative fields. Entire professions face obsolescence. When millions cannot secure stable employment, societies risk labelling them burdens rather than citizens with inherent worth.

Echoes of “Useless Eaters”: From Nazi Eugenics to Modern Efficiency

This language echoes darker historical precedents. The term “useless eaters” originated in early 20th-century eugenics and Nazi propaganda, where authorities deemed the disabled, elderly, or unproductive as drains on resources unworthy of life. Those regimes justified sterilization, euthanasia, and gruesome experiments on living humans deemed irrelevant, using economic and efficiency as grounds. While today’s discussions avoid explicit calls for elimination, the underlying logic of sorting human value by productivity should alarm anyone who values individual dignity.

Schwab’s Fourth Industrial Revolution: Mass Redundancy Ahead

Harari’s warnings align with broader elite conversations about technological disruption. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, has addressed the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its potential to create redundancy for many workers. The concern is real: without robust adaptation, large segments of the population could become dependent on state or corporate systems, vulnerable to control.

Georgia Guidestones: The Elite Blueprint for Drastic Population Cuts

This feeds into visions of a restructured world. The Georgia Guidestones, a controversial monument erected in 1980 in Georgia and later destroyed, laid out ten guiding principles for humanity. Its first commandment declared: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.” That explicit target of drastic population reduction (over 90%) has fueled suspicions about long-term agendas among some influential figures who see overpopulation as a crisis. It underscores a mindset that prioritizes global limits over unfettered human flourishing.

Dowagiac data center to deploy Chinese humanoid robots


Dowagiac data center to deploy Chinese humanoid robots to support development of ‘autonomous workflows’


Derek Draplin


The technology company that owns the Dowagiac data center plans on staffing the facility with 30 humanoid robots from a Chinese manufacturer later this year.

Hyperscale Data and its subsidiary, Omnipresent Robotics, began production of the robots earlier this month as part of its broader plan to deploy 142 humanoid robots at the facility “to support the development of embodied artificial intelligence applications, autonomous workflows, and advanced robotics systems.”

The data center is facing complaints and a class action lawsuit from local residents who say the facility emits “constant noise.”

Hyperscale Data is partnering with AgiBot, a Chinese robotics manufacturer that it says is “one of the leading humanoid platforms in the world.” The company purchased 142 humanoid robots from AgiBot for $13.4 million, and Omnipresent Robotics will resell robots once trained, Data Center Dynamics reported.


“We are building in Michigan because Michigan still has industrial muscle memory,” Hyperscale Data Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault, III, said in a note on the company’s website. “We are developing a campus where robots can be trained to perform real jobs, tested until the weak points show themselves, assembled here, and sent back into the field with software that actually fits the work. That will create engineers, technicians, operators, manufacturing jobs, and a place where people learn by doing instead of talking.”


The company is planning a 100,000-square-foot “Robotics Research, Testing and Innovation Center” at the Dowagiac campus, while the initial 30 robots “will work side-by-side with AI infrastructure personnel and data center employees.”

Lawmakers have warned about national security threats posed by robotics companies aligned with the Chinese Communist Party sending their technology to the U.S., particularly  from the Chinese firm Unitree, one of AgiBot’s competitors.

Bipartisan members of the House Select Committee on China warned the Trump administration in a letter last year that Unitree has “participated in military-civil fusion programs, received Peoples Republic of China state funding, contributed to defense research, and produces robotic systems with clear military utility.”

UN says Hormuz evacuation halted after ship struck in Iranian attack


UN says Hormuz evacuation halted after ship struck in Iranian attack


A United Nations agency paused the evacuation of ships through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday after the British military said a vessel was hit by a projectile off the coast of Oman following the passage of several tankers that used a route backed by the UN.

The head of the International Maritime Organization said the plan to move stranded ships out of the Persian Gulf through the strait will be on hold until the agency can confirm safety guarantees for the ships on the evacuation list and in the region.

The report of a strike came hours after Iran threatened vessels to stop using the route through the strait without Tehran’s permission. The vessel that was attacked was not part of the evacuation effort, said Arsenio Dominguez, the UN agency’s secretary-general.

A US official told the Associated Press that the vessel was hit by an Iranian drone.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation, said the merchant vessel Ever Lovely was attacked by a drone being flown by the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Two US officials also confirmed to Reuters that Iran fired on the ship, though there was no immediate comment from the American government.

Following reports of the attack, Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority — a new government agency established to control shipping in the strait — wrote on X that transit outside its own designated routes “will not be covered by the guarantee of safe passage.”

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said the vessel sustained damage, but it reported no injuries or environmental effects from the attack off the coast of Oman.

The opening of an alternative passage through the vital waterway would relieve pressure on the world economy and remove Iran’s main source of leverage in ongoing peace talks with the United States. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on a visit to the Gulf to reassure American allies, said Washington was committed to the new route and ensuring that ships are able to transit the strait.

“If that stops, then we’re going to have a problem,” Rubio said Thursday before the report of the strike on the ship.

Traffic through the strait increased in recent days but was still well below prewar levels. Oil on Thursday briefly dipped below its last prewar price of just under $73 per barrel, a sign that the market believes the situation is improving.

The US and Iran are still debating terms of an interim peace deal, including issues such as getting ships through the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf and addressing the future of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

North of the route is a corridor in the center of the strait where ships moved freely before the war, transporting about a fifth of all the world’s oil and natural gas.

Iran said it mined that passage after the US and Israel attacked it on February 28. At least one mine has been sighted there.

Though some ships had been getting out of the strait, with US military support, the UN agency’s effort was the latest to free trapped vessels. The shipping company Maersk said its container ship, the Maersk Baltimore, and another chartered vessel made it out on Thursday.

Last week, 125 vessels crossed the strait, up from 33 the week before, according to marine data and analysis firm Lloyd’s List Intelligence.

According to S&P Global, Wednesday saw 78 transits, the most since the war began, but still below the daily prewar average of 130 or more.
