Russia has reportedly sparked a “mad panic” as it evacuates a city near the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant before an expected Kyiv offensive — with the UN’s nuclear watchdog warning a “severe nuclear accident” could occur.
Analysts have said for months Ukrainian forces may assault the southern Zaporizhzhia region in a spring counteroffensive — especially if they aim to split the Russian position and choke off a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula.
But fighting around Europe’s largest nuclear plant next to occupied Enerhodar, a city of about 50,000 people, could be disastrous.
Russia-installed regional governor,Yevgeny Balitsky on Friday ordered civilians to leave Enerhodar and 17 other communities — implying hostilities may worsen, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi said over the weekend.
“I’m extremely concerned about the very real nuclear safety and security risks facing the plant,” Grossi said. “The general situation in the area near the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant is becoming increasingly unpredictable and potentially dangerous.”
None of the plant’s six reactors are operating. But the station needs a constant source of power to keep its essential cooling systems online and prevent a catastrophic radiation disaster.

Meanwhile, the evacuation had already begun Sunday, according to Ukrainian officials.
Thousands of cars are fleeing the Zaporizhzhia region, and the Ukrainian mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, said there were five-hour waits, according to the BBC.
Shops in evacuated areas had run out goods and medicine, he wrote on Telegram. Hospitals were discharging patients into the street because they fear losing water and electricity if Ukraine strikes, the BBC reported.

Evacuations have also begun in Enerhodar, home to many who work in the plant, according to the IAEA.
The operating staff remained as of Saturday, Grossi said, adding the situation has led to “increasingly tense, stressful and challenging conditions for personnel and their families.” he added.
On-site nuclear experts have also heard regular shelling, he said.

It’s not the first time the watchdog organization has worried about the safety of the nuclear plant, the BBC noted.
In March, the IAEA said the plant was keeping its cooling systems running with diesel generators because power lines had been knocked out.
“We must act now to prevent the threat of a severe nuclear accident and its associated consequence for the population and the environment,” Grossi said. “This major nuclear facility must be protected.”
Last February, Dr. Gal Luft, a retired Israel Defense Forces lieutenant colonel with deep intelligence ties in Washington and Beijing, was arrested as an alleged gun runner. At the time, he claimed the arrest was to stop him from revealing what he knows about the Biden crime family and FBI corruption. Now, Dr. Luft has disappeared entirely.
In the early 2000s, Luft formed a think tank called the Institute for Analysis of Global Security (IAGS) that focused on energy innovations and policy. Accordingly, from 2015 to 2018, Luft organized international energy conferences. He did this in partnership, with the China Energy Fund Committee (CEFC-USA), the non-profit arm of CEFC, China’s huge energy conglomerate that was headed by one Ye Jianming. Ye reportedly has ties to Chinese military intelligence. CEFC-USA, in turn, was headed by Patrick Ho.
According to documents in the laptop, the Biden family began their ties with CEFC in 2015. In May 2017 … the Bidens formed Sinohawk Holdings to carry out their partnership with CEFC. CEFC agreed to pay Sinohawk $5 million andtransfer another $5 million to the Biden family as a gift. (Emphasis added.)
Hunter met with Ye, over a private dinner in early February 2017, at which the CEFC chairman made him a generous offer of $10 million a year, for a minimum of three years.
The funds, suspiciously, were earmarked for “introductions alone.”
Later in the summer of 2017, Ye was concerned that Patrick Ho might be under investigation and asked Hunter Biden for help. Hunter told the New Yorker that he agreed to represent Ho and to “try to figure out” if he was under scrutiny by law enforcement.
So where does Gal Luft fit into this? In February 2023, Gal Luft found himself detained in Cyprus on arms trafficking charges as he was about to head for Israel. He claimed that this was politically motivated because had dirt on both the FBI and the Biden family. He’d tried to inform the DOJ in 2019, during Trump’s presidency, but was ignored. Now, though, with things heating up around Biden, says Luft, he’s being silenced.
He contends that Hunter Biden had an FBI mole named “One-Eye.” That mole told Ye and Ho that the DOJ was investigating them. Further, said Luft,
The funds, suspiciously, were earmarked for “introductions alone.”
Later in the summer of 2017, Ye was concerned that Patrick Ho might be under investigation and asked Hunter Biden for help. Hunter told the New Yorker that he agreed to represent Ho and to “try to figure out” if he was under scrutiny by law enforcement.
Soon after that tipoff, Ye offered Hunter $1 million to be his “private counsel” and flew to China, leaving his wife, daughter, son, mother, and nanny in his $50 million penthouse at 15 Central Park West.
He was detained in Shanghai three months later and disappeared.
Before he left New York, Ye told Ho that the coast was clear for him to come back to the US.
On Nov. 18, 2017, Ho flew into JFK Airport, where he was arrested by FBI agents on bribery and money laundering charges.
Ho’s arrest provided another shady business opportunity for Hunter. From the same article:
“Hunter was paid $1 million by CEFC to represent Ho, which entailed contacting his FBI sources on Ho’s behalf and engaging another attorney to do the legal work, according to emails on his laptop.”
Luft claims he contacted the DOJ after Ho was jailed and federal investigators flew to Brussels to interview him in the presence of his attorney Robert Henoch for more than 18 hours on March 28 and 29, 2019. (Emphasis added.)
While the Hunter info is interesting, what’s really significant is that Luft told the DOJ that an FBI insider was “selling sealed U.S. law enforcement information to Chinese individuals”—and the DOJ didn’t care.
Now, though, Congressman Comer’s House Oversight Committee has been investigating Luft’s claims:
In a March 2 interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox, Comer referred to Luft as “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” He said that after word got out of Luft’s arrest, “we’ve had three people that were involved in the Hunter Biden shady business schemes that have communicated with my committee staff.”
The reason Luft’s information mattered so much is that it helped explain the money Hunter Biden was bringing in, As Robert Henoch, Luft’s lawyer said,
“Congress has the Biden bank records but it doesn’t know the reason for the payments. Now it does. The information that the whistleblower Dr. Luft gave the DOJ four years ago is the missing link for the reason behind the China-Biden money transfers. Clearly, this is explosive stuff.” (Emphasis added.)
It was this information, which lay dormant in the DOJ for so many years that was the predicate to Luft’s arrest on what he claims are trumped-up charges of arms trafficking to China and Libya and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. One must ask why, if Luft was such a notorious gun runner, he wasn’t arrested over four years ago in March 2019 when he spent 18 hours telling FBI agents everything he knew about the Bidens and Hunter.
Moreover, while the warrant was issued in November 2022, and it spells out heinous crimes, Luft wasn’t arrested for another three months:
The government issued its arrest warrant in November. It has a cooperative agreement and relationship with the Israeli Ministry of Justice and state prosecution. And yet, it didn’t communicate the arrest warrant to Israel. Israeli officials could have arrested and investigated Luft at any time. (Emphasis added.)
That long delay, standing alone, is suspicious. Immediately after his arrest, Luft went public about his claims regarding the FBI, the Bidens, and China:
I've been arrested in Cyprus on a politically motivated extradition request by the US.
The US, claiming I'm an arms dealer. It would be funny if it weren't tragic.
I've never been an arms dealer.
DOJ is trying to bury me to protect Joe,Jim&Hunter Biden.
King may have been right to worry. Things took a sinister turn at the end of March. Luft, who was being held in a Cyprus jail awaiting a hearing to determine if he should be extradited to the United States, was released on bail after finally securing the necessary funds. And then he disappeared:
In March, a Cypriot court deliberating a US extradition request had instructed him to surrender his passport to authorities and post 400,000 euros as bail before being released from custody. He was also required to register at the Paphos police station weekly but failed for the past month and did not appear for three trial dates. Luft’s car was found abandoned on the island a day after his disappearance was reported.
It’s currently unknown whether he met with foul play or voluntarily dropped out of sight. However, what is well established is that since that fateful interview with the FBI in March 2019, Luft has made powerful enemies in both Chinese and American intelligence and, of course, in the Biden syndicate.

I think it is quite clear that Dr. Gal Luft met with foul play.
Corporations are rushing like crazy to get their electric “green” products on the market. Are they doing this because there’s massive consumer demand? No. They’re doing it to push a progressive ideology, which is the worst reason ever. If you’re not listening to the market and creating products based on demand, you will fail. Remember the big “solar” boom back when Obama was in office? All those “green jobs” that were supposed to be sweeping the nation?
You probably don’t remember, because they all went bust pretty quickly. The American public isn’t ready for sweeping changes. Now, many people who live in big liberal cities, probably love the idea of an electric car, if they even drive — most walk or use public transportation. But for people in the suburbs, who drive long distances, EVs make little sense.
During an equipment expo, popular tool company DeWalt watched their prototype electric lawnmower bust into flames. In fact, things got so bad, the fire department had to come and put it out.
Seriously, you don’t want to mess with these ion battery fires.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, before you buy an EV – consider the many fires started in them because of the very dangerous batteries!!
A professor of sociology at the University of Albany in New York was recently arrested when she tried to disrupt a pro-life display on campus.
She resisted arrest, and the left wing students at the scene screamed and swore at the police as she was handcuffed.
Have you ever wondered why so many young people at college behave this way? This is one of their teachers.
Professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University wrote about the incident at his blog:
“She’s a … Professor!”: Albany Professor Arrested After Obstructing Pro-Life Display and Resisting Arrest
“She’s a [expletive] professor”! Those four words screamed by pro-choice protesters could well sum up the issue for the State University of New York at Albany after the arrest of sociology professor Renee Overdyke. At a recent pro-life demonstration, Overdyke unplugged an electric display to prevent students from expressing their opposition to abortion. She then resisted arrest. The question, which we have previously discussed, is where the university should draw the line in the conduct of faculty in preventing free speech.
The pro-life display at the university attracted a loud counter-demonstration, which is of course fine and good. Universities are supposed to be a place for debate and both sides were exercising their free speech rights.
As students chanted “my body, my choice” and other messages, Created Equal continued their own demonstration against abortion with the help of a large electronic display. The display showed aborted fetuses to bring home what they called the “reality of abortion” and “what abortion does to preborn babies.”
That is when Professor Overdyke, 57, allegedly unplugged Created Equal’s electronic display.
Overdyke took this action despite the university distributing a pamphlet to students at the event repeating the rules for free speech behavior, including a prohibition on actions to prevent or obstruct someone else’s free speech. This message was all the more important because a conservative speaker had been shouted down two weeks earlier.

Democrats and left wing students are pushing for ‘free’ college. Why should all taxpayers be forced to fund that when half of the country isn’t even welcome on most campuses? Source
Brethren, I truly believe that this violent movement to slaughter the unborn is a satanic rage by the devil and his demons. Unfortunately I believe that this will only get worse!
