America owes Mahmoud Khalil nothing

Pro-terrorist activist Mahmoud Khalil was asked by CNN the other day if he would condemn Hamas. He, of course, would not, calling the question “silly” and “disingenuous.” It is not “black and white,” he whined.
Even if you oppose Israel’s reaction to the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the answer is still black and white for any person with a conscience. Certainly, it should be for any person who wants to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. After all, Hamas is designated by the State Department as a terrorist organization for, among other things, murdering Americans.
But the fact that Khalil can’t condemn Hamas — and anyone paying attention understands that he supports the terrorist army — not only tells us that he deserves to be deported but also that it’s imperative we deport him.
During the 1960s and 1970s, immigration officials grilled newcomers to the U.S. and elsewhere about their affiliations with communist parties. Why would we import people who want to destroy our system? Newcomers were, and still are, compelled to disavow associations with illiberal movements, violent groups, and ideologies. They were also required to promise not to engage in any subversive or revolutionary activity.
Well, Khalil’s entire job as an “activist” is to engage in subversive or revolutionary activity.
Khalil is an Algerian, incidentally, not a Palestinian, though he is a champion of Palestinianism, one of the most nihilistic, bigoted, violent, anti-Western ideologies of the age. There’s no anti-American or Marxist protest or riot anywhere in the world these days where Palestinian flags are not prominent.
The French, of course, don’t need much impetus to riot. But protests that began over a lack of school funding a few weeks ago have now escalated into increasingly destructive and violent riots across France, clearly fueled in part by Marxist pro-Palestinian elements. The red-green alliance between Islamists and communists isn’t new — it’s just more popular than ever. France has over 5 million Muslims.
What you see happening on the streets of Paris is exactly what Khalil hopes to see in the U.S. We saw as much when he was the lead “negotiator” for Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which rioted at the school in 2025. The group’s goal is to fight for the “total eradication of Western civilization,” “global intifada,” and the “armed resistance” of Hamas. That doesn’t sound very American.
Khalil’s friend, Mohsen Mahdawi, another leader of CUAD fighting against deportation, reportedly has a propensity to make Hamas-like statements, such as “I like to kill Jews,” “soon, very soon, we will annihilate the Jews,” and that “servants of the Jews or the Americans” will have their heads “cut off.” Would we give citizenship to a foreigner who said, “I like to kill blacks” or “I like to kill Christians”? I hope not.
Khalil is being deported for lying on his application, though he was initially picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers for threatening U.S. foreign policy. These deportations should not be treated as a matter of botched paperwork but as a matter of national security.
They Trained to Protect Immigrants From ICE. Now They’re Prepping to Defend the Midterm Elections.
ICE watchers across the country who watched federal agents shoot people in the streets and fought to drive ICE from their cities are turning their new skills against the next authoritarian threat from the Trump administration: election interference.
Volunteers who showed up a few months ago asking, “Where do I buy a whistle?” are now trained and committed members of an “ICE Watch” movement, said Zach Mueller, whose anti-authoritarian group States at the Core started hosting trainings earlier this year. “They’re not in the normal cast of characters that have been showing up to rallies over the last several decades,” said Mueller. Now, they’re planning to fan out to their local polling places and defend their neighbors’ rights to vote.
The ICE-watchers-turned-poll-watchers are preparing for the worst despite a temporary win the voting rights movement secured last week, when the Supreme Court upheld a decision to block a Trump administration rule that would have let the U.S. Postal Service refuse to deliver ballots from states that don’t share their voter rolls with the federal government, among other new constraints, which advocates warned would lead to chaos and uncounted votes. While that plan was foiled for the midterms, other electoral threats abound.

“There are 100 different scenarios that you can run through,” said Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible. “Could be ICE at the polls, could be Trump getting every Republican to swear to sabotage the results … Could be something after the fact, seizing ballot boxes or refusing to acknowledge the results. Who knows?”

Satanic prayer causes uproar at city council meeting
CHAD DRURY Courier staff writer
OTTUMWA — An invocation at the beginning of Tuesday's Ottumwa City Council meeting overshadowed everything else that took place over the course of 80 minutes.
Resident and former council member Matt Dalbey read a satanic prayer — capped off by "Hail Satan" — to kick off the meeting at City Hall, leading to a reaction from New Life Center pastor Rick Bick during a contentious opening few minutes of the meeting.
In a private message, Dalbey said the prayer is used by the Satanic Temple of Iowa, of which he is a member, "but has nothing to do with the belief in a satanic deity."
The Satanic Temple of Iowa is "a resolutely non-theistic" religious organization that follows seven core tenants, according to its website.
Soon after Dalbey left the podium and after the council, staff and audience recited the Pledge of Allegiance, Bick had his turn, and was out of turn with the meeting's protocol of speaking on agenda items.
"Let's just reverse this curse that was put on our city. That 'Hail Satan' is not welcome here," Bick said.
Council member Cara Galloway, who has never stood for an invocation, said that Bick should speak during the portion of the meeting where citizens can speak on either agenda or non-agenda items; Bick spoke after the roll call was taken and the council was to discuss the consent agenda.
"It needs to be done now," he said. "I appreciate what Ms. Galloway is saying, but that was a curse put on the city. Most of you know that, and we need to just stop and reverse it."
Mayor Benjamin Foote then called for a 30-second moment of silence "to reflect on whatever it is we need to reflect on at this time," but again, Galloway said "it was time to move forward" before being overruled by the mayor.
Dalbey's invocation was within the scope of the city's invocation policy, which was approved Jan. 20, with Galloway the only council member to vote against it. In part, the policy says:

Pro-Israel, pro-Palestinian crowds converge on Union Square for Oct. 7 vigil
Giulia Heyward/Gothamist
Published Oct 7, 2026 at 7:33 p.m. ET
Union Square was on high alert Wednesday night as demonstrators poured in ahead of a vigil marking the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani was expected to attend.
Demonstrators waved Israeli and Palestinian flags and held signs as dozens of police vehicles surrounded the area. Members of the NYPD’s counterterrorism unit were among the NYPD deployment around the park.
Laura Liben, a Jewish Upper West Side resident, said she arrived around 6:30 p.m. to participate in the vigil and complained about the pro-Palestinian demonstrators who’d gathered around.
“I feel like they kind of came and took over the whole thing,” Liben said. “I think if they had come maybe asking questions or starting a dialogue, but this feels really hostile.”
About 1,200 people were killed in the attacks and roughly 250 others were taken hostage. The ensuing war in Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, according to data provided by Gaza’s health ministry. Both the attacks and the war that followed remain a source of deep tension in the five boroughs and Mamdani, the first Muslim mayor of New York, has faced accusations of antisemitism from his detractors for supporting Palestinians and accusing Israel of genocide.
In a statement on Wednesday, Mamdani denounced “every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing.”
The Anti-Defamation League’s New York/New Jersey office criticized Mamdani on Wednesday, saying “the grief and pain has not dulled in the three years since” the attacks.
“Mayor Mamdani had the opportunity to use this anniversary to mourn alongside his Jewish constituents,” the organization said on social media. “Instead he chose to use his considerable platform to level political charges against Israel, justifying the very violence he claims to condemn.”
City Councilmember Vickie Paladino from Queens also called Mamdani’s remarks “disgraceful.”
“He does this knowing that today leftist, Islamist and pro-Palestinian activist organizations — many of which he and his wife have aligned with — are openly celebrating the 10/7 attacks, in some of the most grotesque and disturbing actions we've ever seen in this country,” Paladino said.
New York has the largest Jewish population of any city in the world outside of Israel. The ADL has also criticized Mamdani over his administration’s recently released plan to combat hate crimes against Jewish New Yorkers, which did not adopt a formal definition of antisemitism.
Mamdani released the plan as reported antisemitic hate crimes continue to rise in the city. The NYPD said antisemitic hate crimes increased 9% during the first eight months of the year compared with the same period last year. Jewish New Yorkers were the targets of more than half of all confirmed hate crimes citywide during that period, according to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

The Breach The FEDS Missed for Nine Months
By Worldview Report, 06 October, 2026
Defense One reported this week that a Pentagon personnel breach and a separate FBI breach are raising the same old question: can the federal government even tell when it has been broken into?
The answer, on the evidence, is not for months.
Between October 2025 and July 16, 2026, unauthorized users reached a file-sharing system at the Defense Manpower Data Center. That office holds the personnel records the military and other agencies use. The files were not encrypted. They included Social Security numbers, and, depending on the person, names, dates of birth, contact information, and military job specialties. A defense official later put the exposure at about 2.76 million living people and another 294,000 who are deceased. Roughly three million records. Nine months of access. The flaw was patched after it was found. Affected people were offered a year of credit monitoring. That is the government’s idea of a response.
At the same time, the FBI is dealing with a separate intrusion claimed by the cybercrime group ShinyHunters. Reporting tied to that breach says sensitive records of personnel in intelligence and surveillance roles were exposed. No public evidence has linked the two intrusions. Both, though, hand an adversary a map of who works where, what they do, and how to impersonate them.
Nitay Milner of the data-security firm ORION put the real point in one sentence: three million people may be the headline, but months of unauthorized access to highly sensitive data going undetected is the warning. He is right. And he is describing the Pentagon and the FBI, not a county clerk’s office.
If the institutions charged with national defense cannot see a stranger in their own personnel files for the better part of a year, the country should stop pretending those same institutions are ready for a deliberate strike on the systems that keep daily life running.
Start with the banks. A payments system does not have to be destroyed to be crippled. It has to be distrusted. Freeze clearing. Corrupt account records. Knock out the networks that move payroll, card authorizations, and wire transfers. Households do not keep weeks of cash. Businesses do not keep weeks of operating money in a drawer. A serious disruption in the financial pipes is a disruption in food, fuel, and medicine within days, because those things are bought, not stockpiled, by most families.
Water treatment is worse, because it is quieter. In 2021 an intruder reached the controls of a plant in Oldsmar, Florida, and tried to raise the level of sodium hydroxide in the drinking water to a dangerous concentration. An operator noticed and reversed it. That was one plant, one attempt, caught by a person at a screen. There are thousands of water systems in this country. Many of them run on aging equipment, remote access, and a staff of a few people. A coordinated campaign does not need to poison a city. It needs to force plants offline, or force operators to stop trusting their own readings. Boil-water orders and tanker trucks are a local fix. They are not a national one.
The electric grid is the system everything else sits on. Pumps, card readers, traffic lights, cell towers, refineries, hospitals after the generators run down. Federal agencies have already warned that Chinese state-sponsored actors, tracked publicly as Volt Typhoon, have burrowed into American critical-infrastructure networks, not only to steal files but to be in position. Pre-positioned access is the point. The attacker does not have to win on the day of the strike. He has to be inside before the day arrives. Colonial Pipeline in 2021 showed what one ransomware hit on one fuel operator can do to the East Coast. That was crime. A state campaign against generation and transmission would not be solved by paying a bitcoin demand and restarting a billing server.
Then the FAA. In January 2023 the Notice to Air Missions system failed and flights across the country stopped. The government later blamed a damaged database file and a failure to follow procedure, not a hack. Remember that. The nation’s airspace was grounded by a file error and a bad process. If a clerical failure can halt departures, a deliberate attack on flight-data, radar-adjacent, or airline operational systems does not have to be exotic to produce the same picture: aircraft on the ground, crews out of position, cargo not moving. The FAA has spent years trying to modernize systems that still carry the habits of another era. Modernization is not the same thing as resilience under attack.
Here is the part official Washington will not say plainly. In a real strike on banks, water, power, and aviation at once, the federal government will not arrive with restoration crews in the first week. It will arrive with press conferences. The Pentagon could not see unauthorized users in a file share for nine months. The FBI is notifying its own people that criminal hackers reached personnel data tied to intelligence work. Treasury disclosed in 2024 that Chinese state-sponsored hackers had reached unclassified documents through a remote-support tool. The federal courts and the Congressional Budget Office have had their own intrusions. These are the scorecards of the institutions that would be asked to coordinate a national recovery.
Recovery from a grid event is measured in weeks for the hard-hit regions, and longer where large transformers or specialized control equipment are destroyed. Those are not items on a warehouse shelf. Water systems come back plant by plant. Banks come back when ledgers can be trusted again, which is a different problem from flipping a switch. Air travel comes back last, because it depends on power, communications, fuel, and confidence at the same time.
So the practical truth is this. If critical infrastructure is disrupted at scale, Americans will be on their own for weeks, and in the worst pockets for months. The household that has assumed the state will keep the lights on, the water safe, the card reader live, and the airport open is making a bet the recent record does not support. The government that cannot detect a nine-month breach of military personnel files is not a government prepared to win the first day of a real infrastructure war. It is a government that will learn it has been hit the same way it learned this time. Late.

DOJ report claims Biden administration labeled parents ‘domestic terrorists’; targeted moms and dads protesting DEI, COVID rules, and gender policies. BY: MEGA
A new Justice Department report claims the Biden administration used federal law enforcement against parents who challenged school policies. Some of them were even described as potential "domestic terrorists" for speaking out at school board meetings.
The 273-page report, released Monday by the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group, examines former Attorney General Merrick Garland's October 2021 memorandum directing federal authorities to address alleged threats against school officials. The department says the memo followed pressure from the National School Boards Association (NSBA) and Biden White House officials.
DOJ report details investigations into parents

According to the report, the FBI opened 25 "Guardian assessments" involving parents following Garland's memo.
One investigation involved a mother whom an FBI whistleblower said was scrutinized because she belonged to a "right-wing mom's group" and owned a gun.
The department also says internal DOJ and FBI personnel raised concerns about the memo, questioning its constitutional basis and whether the effort was becoming political.
One employee reportedly called the initiative "stupid, stupid, stupid," while another warned it could become an "Anti-MAGA Task Force." The report says more than a dozen DOJ and FBI personnel expressed concerns about the directive.

Evidence Shows Catholic Officials Abused 944 Children: Massachusetts AG
Tuesday October 6th, 2026
The Epoch Times, by Zachary Stieber: Catholic clerics abused nearly 1,000 children across three dioceses in Massachusetts, the state’s attorney general said in a report published on Sept. 30.
A years-long investigation found evidence that 275 clerics, including priests and nuns, abused children, and that 944 kids reported being sexually abused, according to the report released by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell.
The probe examined allegations of child sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic dioceses of Fall River, Springfield, and Worcester, and how the dioceses handled the allegations.
Investigators said the dioceses failed to respond adequately to child sex abuse allegations, including by failing to act on some allegations, transferring accused priests to other parishes without disclosing reasons for the transfers, and failing to consistently report allegations to law enforcement.
The alleged abuse largely took place before 2002, before The Boston Globe reported that priests at the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston abused children, and that officials covered up the abuse. The dioceses under examination have improved policies since then. The Springfield Diocese has signed a policy that mandates reporting suspected abuse of children.
“For decades, survivors of clergy sexual abuse, including those who are no longer alive, have carried the devastating consequences of abuse, while the institutions entrusted with their care too often failed to protect them. This report provides for the first time a public accounting of the unimaginable harms afflicted on children in the Fall River, Springfield, and Worcester dioceses,” Campbell said in a statement.

Unrest, Fear, and Upheaval

Prophecy
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Luke 21:25-26.
Fulfillment
This sounds strangely like an editorial from a current newspaper--a perfect picture of the world today--and there is a reason: We are the people of the very last days of earth's history.
All around us the world is manifesting intense activity. There is a feeling of apprehension among all people; they are looking for some great event, but know not what it is to be. The nations are filled with anxiety, and there is a spirit of unrest and tumult on every hand. If ever there was a time when men should look to the Bible it is now.
The tense atmosphere present in the world today should not surprise us. Christ foretold it. It should convince us that His coming is near.
Supreme Court Set to Hear Case Involving Religious Exemptions for Private Schools to Receive Public Funds
by Craig Nash | Oct 6, 2026 | News

(Credit: Mark Thomas / Pixabay / https://tinyurl.com/5tnsvvak)
Among a handful of religious-liberty cases the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) will hear this session, which began yesterday, one pits a Colorado nondiscrimination law against the state’s Universal Preschool Program (UPK). The early childhood program provides preschool tuition for up to 15 hours per week for students in their final year before kindergarten. Yet Colorado law prohibits funding for preschools that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Two Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Denver contend the nondiscrimination policy, which forbids them from denying admission to students with same-sex parents, violates their First Amendment rights. They have refused to sign the nondiscrimination agreement, denying them state funds from the UPK program.
According to Linda Greenhouse, who covers SCOTUS cases for The New York Times, St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy concerns a 2022 ruling that declared Maine’s exclusion of religious schools from receiving publicly funded private school subsidies was unconstitutional. Plaintiffs in the Colorado case are arguing that the religious exemption in the Maine case also applies to Colorado religious schools.
The State of Colorado argues that the Maine decision prohibited disqualifying private schools from public funding solely because they provided religious education. They contend that their refusal to allow a school to receive UPK funds has nothing to do with the schools’ right to provide religious education, but with their refusal to serve particular students.
The case, scheduled to appear before the court in early November, will clarify what counts as a religious exemption in public education.
I’ve seen the horrific content that some kids watch – it’s no wonder our children are in trouble
From reports of child-on-child abuse in schools to the Cornell 7 case, every day we see more examples of society’s inability to educate boys properly. Rebecca Spargo writes about what she’s learned while researching for her new novel and how the issue isn’t just teaching kids right and wrong – but also not to stay silent
Tuesday 06 October 2026 01:00 EDT

Like most women, I was pretty horrified at the stories that emerged from the “Everyone’s Invited” campaign in 2021. The campaign invited young women to publish anonymous testimonies of peer-on-peer sexual misconduct and violence they had experienced at school. At the time, you could search all of the schools that had been mentioned and every single school I could think of, both primary and secondary schools, appeared when I searched. It was really shocking.
I would love to say that this is now a thing of the past, but it’s not.
A recent report in The Guardian revealed that thousands of cases of child-on-child sexual abuse in schools, including multiple rapes, are reported to police every year. More than a third of the rape victims were children under 13. Of those where the sex of the victim is documented, two-thirds were girls.

Every single woman I know is appalled by this. I have two daughters, but quite a few of my friends have sons. We all consider ourselves feminists, and we talked a lot at the time of the “Everyone’s Invited” campaign about how devastating it would be to have to consider whether your son was capable of behaving that way. That was the spark for my novel, entitled Such a Nice Boy: what if you are confronted with the truth of what your son has done and are forced to consider what he might be capable of?
When I was growing up, a parent’s greatest fear was that their teen might fall in with a bad crowd. Now, that “bad crowd” is their phone, and the wrong people are being actively pushed to them by algorithms, strangers, or their friends, often in the form of extreme and violent porn and misogyny.
Many parents aren’t fully aware of how common it is for boys and girls to see this sort of material and what it’s actually doing to them. There’s a very common belief that if you’ve brought your child up to be good and decent, you have somehow inoculated them against this kind of influence; that it would never be “my child” who would do something like this. But many parents just don’t really understand what their children are looking at.

Richard Barrera entered a long recent history of left-wing politicians openly encouraging delusion when he sat for an Oct. 4 interview with Conan Nolan of NBCLA.

How the brain uses memory to imagine what might have been

Philosopher and 2026 MacArthur “genius grant” recipient Felipe De Brigard explains how our brains use imagination to reconstruct the past
By Allison Parshall edited by Claire Cameron

Neuroscience
A month ago philosopher Felipe De Brigard received a strange phone call. “Are you in a private place where you can have a private conversation?” the voice on the other end asked.
He was on a work retreat surrounded by colleagues. “Just say you need to talk about your taxes,” the caller said. De Brigard excused himself to find a private space, panicking the whole time about his taxes—but it was actually the MacArthur Foundation on the line. De Brigard had been awarded a prestigious “genius grant,” an $800,000 fellowship with no strings attached.
“I just was floored. And I had to put everything back together and walk back in like nothing happened,” says De Brigard, who is a professor at Duke University and originally from Bogotá, Colombia. He is only the second philosopher to be awarded the fellowship in the past 30 years.
De Brigard would be the first to tell you that his recollection of that day may be flawed. As a philosopher and cognitive scientist, he studies the fallibility of memory. Our brains don’t work like digital cameras recording our experiences to a mental hard drive, he explains. We store only some parts of our experience—gestures, stories, the gist. When we go to retrieve those memories, our brains need to fill in the gaps.
De Brigard’s research shows just how intertwined our brain’s memory is with imagination. We use some of the same mental machinery to reconstruct the past as we do to imagine the future—and to imagine what might have been.
Scientific American spoke with De Brigard about why false memories form, why we dwell on the roads not taken, how forgiveness influences memory and whether we should worry about artificial intelligence becoming conscious.

UK government reportedly hands out 974 hijabs to small boats migrants
Reports suggest 974 hijabs were handed
The government has given nearly 1,000 hijabs to migrants who crossed the Channel in small boats this year, according to reports.
The Mail on Sunday claims internal government documents show officials gave 974 hijabs this year, a religious headdress some Muslim women and girls wear. The hijabs were handed out in clothing packs given to every migrant that reaches the UK via small boats over the Channel, reports suggest.
The Home Office has responded by insisting it has the legal duty to provide them under the government short-term holding facility rules, first established under the Conservative government in 2018, and last amended when Rishi Sunak was Prime Minister.

A spokesperson told the Mail on Sunday: “All arrivals receive a basic dry clothing pack where required. The items available form part of standard welfare arrangements.”
In total, 15,406 packs have been given to migrants as 19,000 small boat crossings have been attempted so far this year, the report says. The breakdown of the packs reflects the fact the vast majority of small boats migrants are male, as 10,694 clothing packs for men were given out.
Only 2,760 packs were given to women, and 773 to boys and 829 for girls. Another 350 babygrows were also handed out.
The packs typically include dry, clean tracksuits to be worn while migrants are placed in 'holding rooms' or 'residential holding rooms' by immigration authorities, and disposable slippers.
Small boats crossings have fallen this year, according to Oxford University. The university’s Migration Observatory says around 36,000 people arrived by small boat in the year to May 2026, 13 percent less than in the same period the year before.
There were 41,000 arrivals in 2025, more than in all other years except 2022, when 45,000 did so.

Digital Searches During International Travel: Why Your Phone Is Not a Suitcase

Anibowei v. Blanche Amicus brief
The Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether the government may search the digital contents of Americans’ cell phones at the border and international airports without first providing a valid reason and obtaining a warrant.
The federal government has long exercised broad authority to conduct searches at the nation’s international borders and airports. Historically, that authority has been tied to the government’s responsibility to regulate entry into the United States, enforce customs laws and prevent contraband from being brought into the country.
Modern technology, however, has complicated the constitutional assumptions underlying that traditional rule.
A suitcase contains a finite collection of physical items that a traveler chooses to carry. A modern smartphone can contain years of private communications, photographs, financial records, medical information, internet activity, location histories and other sensitive information. It can provide a detailed record of where a person has been, whom that person communicates with, what he or she reads, purchases and searches for, and, in some instances, information relating to activities inside the home.
That distinction is at the center of Anibowei v. Blanche, a case in which the U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to review the constitutionality of warrantless cell phone searches at international borders and airports. In calling on the Court to affirm that the government must obtain a warrant before searching the digital contents of Americans’ electronic devices at an international border, The Rutherford Institute argues that applying a doctrine developed for searches of physical goods and luggage to modern smartphones goes far beyond the purpose of the border-search exception and fails to account for the extraordinary privacy interests implicated by digital devices.
Will Catholics Build the Third Temple? - Ep. 7422
Endtime
Streamed live on Oct 1, 2026
Will Catholics help make the Third Temple possible? A new development in Jerusalem raises a fascinating question about the future of the Temple Mount and Bible prophecy.
Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, has launched a permanent interfaith initiative called “Within Your Gates: The Forum for the Universal Vocation of Jerusalem.” Developed with the University of Notre Dame's academic center in Jerusalem, the forum brings together voices from different religious traditions to discuss Jerusalem, reconciliation, peace and its future.
In this episode of The Endtime Show, Vince Stegall and Doug Norvell examine what this surprising development could mean through the lens of Bible prophecy.
Vatican reporting describes an effort to develop an “alternative narrative” shared among different religious traditions concerning Jerusalem's universal mission. Pizzaballa has described earthly Jerusalem as becoming an image of heavenly Jerusalem and a sign of universal reconciliation and peace.
So what could Catholic-led interfaith dialogue possibly have to do with the Third Temple?
Revelation 11 describes a future Temple of God, an altar and worshippers—but also says the outer court is “given unto the Gentiles.” Endtime has long taught that this could point toward some type of future sharing arrangement on the Temple Mount.
We're not saying Catholics are currently planning to build the Third Temple. They aren't. We're asking whether growing interfaith cooperation surrounding Jerusalem could eventually help create the conditions in which Jewish Temple worship and Muslim access to the Temple Mount coexist.
At the same time, Jewish interest in the Temple Mount is increasing. Jewish visits recently reached a reported annual record, while the Temple Institute continues preparing vessels, garments and procedures associated with future Temple worship. Four potential red heifers also remain under observation, although their final halachic qualification has not been determined.
Then there are Revelation 13, 17 and 18, which Endtime has historically connected with a powerful end-time religious system possessing enormous international influence.
Could these developments eventually converge?
Join Vince Stegall and Doug Norvell as we connect Catholics, the Vatican, Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and the Third Temple—and examine what Bible prophecy says we should be watching next.

Wounded in the house of my friends - Zechariah 13:6
Our Distinctive Sign

The banner of the third angel has inscribed upon it, “The commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Our institutions have taken a name which sets forth the character of our faith, and of this name we are never to be ashamed. I have been shown that this name means much, and in adopting it we have followed the light given us from heaven.... The Sabbath is God’s memorial of His creative work, and it is a sign that is to be kept before the world.
There is to be no compromise with those who are worshiping an idol sabbath. We are not to spend our time in controversy with those who know the truth, and upon whom the light of truth has been shining, when they turn away their ear from the truth to turn to fables. I was told that men will employ every policy to make less prominent the difference between the faith of Seventh-day Adventists and those who observe the first day of the week. In this controversy the whole world will be engaged, and the time is short. This is no time to haul down our colors.
A company was presented before me under the name of Seventh-day Adventists, who were advising that the banner or sign which makes us a distinctive people should not be held out so strikingly; for they claimed it was not the best policy in securing success to our institutions. This distinctive banner is to be borne through the world to the close of probation. In describing the remnant people of God, John says, “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). This is the law and the gospel. The world and the churches are uniting in harmony in transgressing the law of God, in tearing away God’s memorial, and in exalting a sabbath that bears the signature of the man of sin. But the Sabbath of the Lord thy God is to be a sign to show the difference between the obedient and the disobedient. I saw some reaching out their hands to remove the banner, and to obscure its significance....
When the people accept and exalt a spurious sabbath, and turn souls away from obedience and loyalty to God, they will reach the point that was reached by the people in the days of Christ.... Shall anyone then choose to hide his banner, to relax his devotion? Shall the people whom God has honored and blessed and prospered, refuse to bear testimony in behalf of God’s memorial at the very time when such a testimony should be borne? Shall not the commandments of God be more highly esteemed when men pour contempt upon the law of God?—Manuscript 15, 1896.
Coast Guard searching for Canadian medical plane with 6 aboard off Nantucket


PUBLISHED: October 3, 2026 at 4:40 PM EDT | UPDATED: October 3, 2026 at 11:12 PM EDT
A Boston-bound medical plane carrying six people suffered a terrifying “one-two punch” as it lost contact with air traffic control before vanishing off the coast of Nantucket, a leading aviation expert tells the Herald.
Mary Schiavo, a former inspector general of the U.S. Department of Transportation, said flight tracking data reveals a harrowing struggle in the minutes before contact went dark early Saturday morning. Hours later into the night, searchers found a “debris field” off the coast of Nantucket.
The Latitude Air Ambulance flight was cruising on autopilot before an initial failure caused its speed to deteriorate and surge, triggering a “precipitous drop” from 24,000 feet, Schiavo told the Herald.
The crew then managed to level the plane off at 11,000 feet and steady its speed, she added, appearing to regain control – only to fly straight into the heart of an intense storm front churning off the Nantucket coast.
“They had a dire one-two punch,” Schiavo said. “Whatever happened caused the precipitous drop, and as soon as they got it stabilized at 11,000 feet, boom, they hit this weather front that was moving through.”
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed Saturday afternoon that its Northeast District is frantically searching the waters off Nantucket for the Gulfstream G100 aircraft, which declared an emergency with New York Center Air Traffic Control before it plunged amid an apparent total electrical failure.
The Federal Aviation Administration notified the Coast Guard at about 2 a.m. that contact had been lost with the aircraft operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, a medical plane provider based at Hamilton International Airport in Ontario, Canada, according to records.
While weather conditions on Nantucket were clear early Saturday morning, an intense storm system swirled directly along the projected flight path of the missing plane, according to National Weather Service radar data.
Schiavo added that investigators will take a close look at what air traffic control told the flight crew, noting that initial weather reports showed clear conditions with eight miles of visibility.
Isaiah 58 (The True Spirit of Spiritual Religion)
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

The United Arab Emirates on Saturday described Wednesday’s incident on board Flight FZ1073 as an attempted “terrorist operation”, saying the co-pilot attacked Captain Smit Machchhar, an Indian national, with an emergency axe and attempted to take control of the aircraft.
But investigators are still working to establish the motive and whether anyone else was connected to the attack, which has raised concerns about pilot vetting and aviation security.

What do we know about the accused pilot?
The co-pilot suspected of attacking the captain of the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight carrying 174 people has been identified as Hamam al-Hammami, an Omani national, three people with knowledge of the situation, including a Gulf diplomat and a Western diplomat, told AP news agency.
All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media. The Gulf diplomat said investigations are under way to establish whether he acted as a “lone wolf or had any connection with any extremist groups”.
US media outlet CNN, quoting a source and an Israeli official, reported that al-Hammami is an Omani citizen who was born in the UAE to a Syrian mother and spent several years in the Emirates.

Who were the Amalekites, and why did God order that people erased from the face of the earth? In this video you'll discover the complete history of the only nation in the Bible to receive a sentence of total destruction — from the unexpected origin of Amalek as Esau's grandson and the son of a concubine named Timna, through the cowardly ambush at Rephidim against the elderly, the women and the children walking at the rear of Israel, all the way to the final judgment four hundred years later. You'll understand why Moses commanded that it be written in a book so it would never be forgotten, what really happened when Aaron and Hur held up his arms on the hilltop, and why King Saul lost his crown, his kingdom and his own bloodline for sparing a single life in the middle of that order. We'll also follow the battle of Ziklag, the Egyptian servant abandoned in the desert by his own master, the meaning of the word Agagite in the book of Esther, and the astonishing way this account stayed unsettled for nearly a thousand years until it was closed inside the palace of Persia. At the end, we face the hardest question in the whole passage head-on: what about the children? A story of rejection, revenge, divine patience and judgment that spans thirty-five centuries and still says something about how we treat the weakest among us today.
