💭 SpaceX’s Starlink, the satellite communications service started by billionaire Elon Musk, now has a Department of Defense contract to buy those satellite services for Ukraine, the Pentagon said on Thursday.
“We continue to work with a range of global partners to ensure Ukraine has the resilient satellite and communication capabilities they need. Satellite communications constitute a vital layer in Ukraine’s overall communications network and the department contracts with Starlink for services of this type,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
Starlink has been used by Ukrainian troops for a variety of efforts, including battlefield communications.
SpaceX, through private donations and under a separate contract with a U.S. foreign aid agency, has been providing Ukrainians and the country’s military with Starlink internet service, a fast-growing network of more than 4,000 satellites in low Earth orbit, since the beginning of the war in 2022.
The Pentagon contract is a boon for SpaceX after Musk, the company’s CEO, said in October it could not afford to indefinitely fund Starlink in Ukraine, an effort he said cost $20 million a month to maintain.
Russia has tried to cut off and jam internet services in Ukraine, including attempts to block Starlink in the region, though SpaceX has countered those attacks by hardening the service’s software.
The Pentagon did not disclose the terms of the contract, which Bloomberg reported earlier on Thursday, “for operational security reasons and due to the critical nature of these systems.”

📞 Amid growing concerns of security risks to members of Congress, more than 50 senators have been issued satellite phones for emergency communication, people familiar with the measures told CBS News.
In testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee last month, Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson said satellite communication is being deployed “to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event.”
Gibson said the phones are a security backstop in the case of an emergency that “takes out communications” in part of America. Federal funding will pay for the satellite airtime needed to utilize the phone devices.
💭 The Biden Administration now is allowing Western allies to provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets — including American-made ones. But just over one year ago, Joe Biden warned that taking similar steps would enter America into World War 3.
Biden said, F16s means WW3, he actually said it, problem is that the west cannot announce a war in Ukraine, therefore US / NATO are now striking Russian territory.
Ukraine has a bunch of F16 pilots just sitting around waiting on US to send them planes? Add to that the ground crews, parts inventory, maintenance facilities, and computer systems needed to support the F16s.
NATO pilots disguising as Ukrainians would be my guess. This will not end well.
💭 Russia Threatens To Shoot Down US Fighter Jets
Russia has issued a warning that it will shoot down US F-16 fighter jets if they enter Ukrainian airspace.
The Russian Ministry of Defense conveyed the message, stating that any unauthorized incursion into Ukrainian airspace by foreign military aircraft would be seen as a violation of Russia’s borders.
They accused the United States of attempting to provoke conflict and made it clear that any incident involving US jets would be the sole responsibility of the U.S.
Russia also asserted its capability to detect and neutralize any threats to its airspace.
The situation in Ukraine remains highly tense, and Russia’s warning raises the stakes, adding to the already heightened tensions in the region.
This coupled with Russia’s takeover of Bakhmut, only adds a sense of uncertainty as to the outcome of this war.
I feel the more time passes, the less people seem to pay attention to one of the world’s most dangerous wars since WW2.
Is anyone still even concerned of a potential conflict between the U.S. and Russia?
🔥 Reports that the Yury Ivanov-class intelligence ship Ivan Khurs was attacked by three maritime drones whilst transiting the Bosphorus Strait, plus the Crimean Bridge was closed for defensive exercises.
Pope Francis also received the genocider Abiy Ahmed Ali of Ethiopia. This evil Oromo Antichrist offered a present of traditional Ethiopian prayer fabrics, along with a painting of the Risen Christ to the Pope. Can you see the similarity between what Zelensky gave the Pope and what Ahmed Ali presented? We remember that the dirty Ahmed Ali displayed the upside down cross in public during Easter. Both these criminal leaders (Zelensky is Jewish, and Ahmed Ali is Muslim-Protestant) are waging a genocidal war against the Orthodox Church.
😈 Well, when the hornets 666 armies meet, they ‘satisfy’ their prince Lucifer in this form.
😲 During a meeting with the Pope, Zelensky handed him an “icon” of the Mother of God with a void in the place where the Savior should have been.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who met with Pope Francis last week, presented the pontiff with gifts that are offensive to Orthodox Christian believers, the il Fatto Quotidiano newspaper wrote.
The controversial item is an icon of Virgin Mary holding the Child Jesus, who is depicted only as a black outline.
“It was supposed to symbolize the ‘loss’ of Ukrainian children in the conflict, but to the head of the Roman Catholic Church, the ‘loss’ of Child Jesus means the loss of the Messiah, the loss of the reason to exist for the institute of the church itself,” the paper quoted a prominent journalist, historian and former senator Raniero La Valle as saying.
In his opinion, the picture in fact symbolizes “erasing Christ from the cross and the denial of his resurrection.”
Another present by Zelensky was the painting of Madonna, made on a fragment of a bulletproof vest, against the bloody red background with stripes in colors of the Ukrainian flag.
In contrast, Pope Francis gave President Zelensky a bronze sculpture representing an olive branch, a symbol of peace. He also gifted him with several documents devoted to peace and fraternity.
👉 Selected comments courtesy of ‘Living Orthodox‘ who shared his reaction with us in the 2nd part of the video under the title: „The Heresy of Political Ideology—We Must Not Be of the World.„
– Though blasphemous…I can’t help but wonder if God allowed it as a message to His Children, and the world, that these two leaders are not cooperating with His Will to put it lightly, therefore, He is absent in the whole exchange for both the giver and receiver as depicted on the “icon”…where the giver is deliberate and obvious but the receiver’s current stance in corporation with the world portrays a cheap rendition of what our Lord and Savior is not (looks like it was created with magic markers or is a computer-generated print out amongst the “black void”)…therefore, this “icon” represents their truth as it relates to the war, social/political/global agendas, and the spiritual implications to all of it (unless they repent, God-willing). In other words, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is absent because the exchange and powers that be between these two are not in accordance with His Will…so in that way, the “icon” may be accurate in relaying God’s message regarding these affairs and possibly why He allowed such a disgraceful “icon” to be revealed openly to the public and the world at large.
– Living Orthodox: God does indeed permit things like this not only as a correction, but indeed to highlight and reveal different issues. More so, it is to spurn the faithful to action and to warn us from the sleep of worldliness and humanism. St. Justin Popovich wrote extensively on this matter.
– Not just blasphemous, but generally unskilled “icon” writing. The quality is as poor as the taste in which it was given. Kyrie Eleison!
– Father God Bless. If Zelensky views the ukrainian people only as a resource to exploit, why hasn’t he left Ukraine as soon as it got dangerous for him? Or do you think he is enjoying his portrayal as a brave and heroic leader in the western media so much that vainglory is his motivation?
– Lots of parallels to what Hitler did, he replaced the pastors, murdered or imprisoned those who wouldn’t go along, created his own churches, and wrote his own version of the bible. It is that same spirit.
– Father, do you think Zelenskyy is an Antichrist?
Living Orthodox: “I don’t have enough discernment to say for certain. But I would say he’s likely a type of one. He’s placed the identity of a nation in the place of God. Anti means “in place of or instead of”…”
– As an American, I feel grief and sorrow at my country’s role in this awful war and ecclesiastical confusion.
– Christ is Risen. So sad that many innocent people are dying because of this horrible behavior. Blessings to you and all Orthodox who are true to the faith
🔥 Russia has claimed that a “radioactive cloud” is drifting toward Europe. Russian Security Council secretary Nikolay Patrushev said that the destruction of depleted uranium shells in Ukraine provided by the UK has produced a radioactive cloud. He also said that an increase in radiation has been detected in Poland.
🔥 Gamma Radiation Spikes in the Region’s Atmosphere
Russia blew up an ammo depot in “Khmelnytsky” that was storing DEPLETED URANIUM ammo supplied by the UK.
That’s why now the Ukrainians are sending ROBOTS to put out the fire…. Not humans because that place IS RADIOACTIVE.
The West’s proxy war against Russia in the Ukraine has led to progressively more deadly weapons systems and ammunition to be delivered to Zelensky’s Nazi regime.
Possibly, the most controversial of these deliveries are the deadly radioactive shells for Challenger 2 tanks that the British government has given Ukraine.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr commented on Instagram:
“In another reckless escalation, Britain has confirmed delivery of depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine. DU munitions should be banned. They partially vaporize on impact, poisoning the environment with uranium dust that causes cancer and horrific birth defects.”
💭 “I don’t think you’d have to be a genius to know that the last thing the Horn of Africa needs is more foreign military bases, more weapons, and more European meddling. What we call our ‘strategic relationship’ isn’t about human flourishing; it’s about the EU’s ambitions as a superpower. There’s now a new great game in the Horn of Africa. Greater and lesser powers are pockmarking the place with military bases: France, the US, China, Germany, Japan, Italy, Saudi Arabia all have a presence in the tiny area of Djibouti alone. Mercenaries are swarming in from all quarters. The entire region is being militarised. War is in the air.
And what about the people facing climate and food insecurity? None of this benefits them. We talk about instability, but we only make it worse. We flood the place with weapons, hand over the profits to European arms companies, and charge the bill to our citizens. And then with the carnage, we go back in and we do it all again. It’s a racket! ‘Strategic relationship’? It’s one thing after another, isn’t it? Really, it’s the same as it ever was. And all I can say is, God save Africa from Europeans offering help.”
“The truth is, it’s a million miles from the reality of EU—Africa trade policy as it exists now, because our economic relations with Africa are simply a continuation of European colonialism perpetuating exploitation by other means. Africa trades more with Europe than it does with itself. It’s portrayed as a poor continent, but actually it’s the richest. It’s just that the people there are denied the fruits of their land and their labour by unequal economic relations, by unfair trade rules, by illicit capital flights into Western banks, and by multinational corporations allowed off the leash by Washington, London and Brussels.”

💭 Irish MEP Clare Daly Names & Shames EU & America Over State-Sponsored Terrorism In Viral Speech
☆ Europe: 1 Million Orthodox Christians Killed in Ethiopia: PEACE for now;
☆ Europe: 10 Thousand Orthodox Christians Killed in Ukraine: Not enough, let’s continue the WAR
Ireland News Today: An Irish Member of the European Parliament has said it is “laughable” that those calling for arms to Ukraine do not support arms being supplied to other needy nations.
Clare Daly MEP voted against an October 5 resolution condemning an escalation of Russia’s war effort.
The motion followed a debate on “illegal and illegitimate” referendums used as a pretext by Russia to annex four eastern regions of Ukraine.
☪ Islamic Jihad in Africa:Muslims Butcher 156 Christians in Burkina Faso
💭 My Note: Yes! The Bishop is right. Not only ignore, they actively support Jihadist groups and genocider regimes all over Africa – as they are their partners in the depopulation agenda. The Europeans and Americans support both sides of the conflicts by providing weapons, air support, soldiers, and mercenaries. The atheist, cold and empathyless high-ranking European and American politicians went to the capital of Africa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to meet and congratulate genociders like evil Abiy Ahmed Ali, who massacred over a Million Orthodox Christians – and who ordered his Oromo fighters to brutally rape up to 200.000 Christian Women. Let’s not forget, the cruel Oromo, Abiy Ahmed Ali was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by Norway for a Pact of of the genocidal War against Ethiopian Christians – the war started on November 4, 2020 – and still continuing via blockade, hunger and poison.
Because they don’t want to help the persecuted and massacred Christians of Ethiopia – and because they are content with the 1st stage of their target depopulating Christian Ethiopia by 1.5 million – they are talking about a nominal peace.
💭 An Example:
👉 EU’s High Representative Josep Borrell said the following on the announcement of a ‘Cessation of Hostilities’:
“I join my voice to the call by UN Secretary-general @antonioguterres There is NO MILITARY SOLUTION to what is happening in #Tigray. The EU welcomes the announcement of a Cessation of Hostilities and congratulates both the Government of Ethiopia and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front for their commitment and courage towards peace. The EU commends the African Union mediation and its observers, as well as the South Africa host and reaffirms its readiness to support peace efforts moving forward in a process owned and led by Ethiopians”
👉 By contrast, look what the very same Josep Borrell said on supporting Ukraine:
“What exactly have we done? We have provided Ukraine with as much military, economic, financial and diplomatic support as possible. This is considerable, but in my opinion not enough.
I was recently in Ukraine with the President of the Commission and my fellow Commissioners, where I also attended the EU-Ukraine Summit. There, once again, I saw a people defending their freedom and independence, and leaders trying to confront this dramatic situation, following a path towards Europe.
I am going to put the cart before the horse. I can tell you that I dislike war as much as any of you. I am not a warmonger. Je ne suis pas un va-t-en-guerre. I have no appetite for war. I am not a fan of war. Of course I prefer peace. As almost all of you do. As we all do. There is no need to repeat ourselves.
But what we do need to repeat and discuss is how peace can be achieved. To achieve peace, we must continue to provide military support to Ukraine and step up that support. This is going to be one of my key messages. To win the peace, one must first win the war.”
