Russia, China, or the United States?

 

Russia, China, or the United States?

     I sat down attempting to understand which country holds the real power in this world, beneath and beholding to God.

     Approximately 47% of United States land is uninhabited. Empty land according to Nik Freeman using 2010 Census Bureau data is due to physical difficulty, like deserts and mountains, and government restrictions, such as national parks and wilderness areas.

     Russia, 65 - 75% of its land is uninhabited or sparsely populated due to harsh climate or permafrost. Approximately 80% of the Russian population lives on the European side, which is about 20% of the country's territory. This displays a populated west and a very unpopulated east.

    60% of Russia is covered with permafrost. This permafrost is frozen year-round, leaving it unfarmable, unproductive.

     The percentage of land uninhabited in China is over half. The vast majority of people reside in the eastern areas of China. Mountains and deserts make up large areas of western China, making it unproductive and unlivable.

     In 2022, figures from the World Bank put the United States arable or farmable land at 16.6%. Russia's arable land stands at 7.4%. Meaning only a small fraction of Russian land is suitable for cultivating crops. Ukraine has around 57% arable land. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why Russia would want Ukraine, once known as the breadbasket of the Soviet Union.

     China's arable land stands at about 11.49% of total territory. The key stat here is China supports 20% of the world's population on less than 10% of the world's arable land. The amount of arable land in China has actually been declining in recent years due to rapid urbanization, industrial growth, and environmental degradation. The decline in arable land was one reason for the implementation of the one-child per family law, but that led to serious other problems. One of the problems was, to support / pay for the aging Chinese population, China needed a minimum of 2.4 children per family. Predictions are that China may not be able to support their aging population with food. That fact is predicted to bring about degradation in the economy, bringing about major poverty and starvation.

     The minimum arable land needed to sustain a country, feed its people, is 14.5%. Yes, Russia doesn't have the arable land, like China, but add to that its declining population since the fall of the Soviet Union and its aging population. Immigrants aren't fighting to get into either China or Russia like they are in the United States.

     Contrary to leftist in the United States declaring our hate of immigrants, the majority of citizens in the U.S. are affable and empathetic to "legal" immigration. The birth rate of U.S. citizens is 1.62. We fervently need the "legal" immigrants to sustain and pay for our aging population, and this classification of immigrants is waiting in a long line to enter. If our government is not working diligently on improvements to speed up the application process, we need to encourage them by putting pressure on our congressmen.

     Russia lacks updated methods, requires more efficient governmental support, and overall better crop management practices. China has high overall agri-productivity coupled with substantial investments in irrigation result in high food availability.

     With Russia being a distant third, we look at China versus the U.S. China with its abundance of manpower concentrates on production while the U.S. and its government policies concentrate on farm income. Yes, China has an overwhelming profusion of manpower, but the U.S. is 20 times more productive per man in the agricultural area as China.

     My conclusion after examining the three leading world powers and their food supply situation is this: Russia has an agricultural hangover from the former inefficient Communist System that was employed. Their reliance was on Ukraine and other countries in the Union to provide what their internal agricultural system could not. Now, they don't have that backup, and NATO doesn't seem to have the desire to let Russia dominate Ukraine and its vast agricultural resources.

     China is at its apex as far as food production without major changes addressing industrial pollution on arable lands and some game-changing discovery in agricultural technology. The United States with their focus on monetary return in farming is outpaced by China with its vast supply of humanity. Nevertheless, the U.S. with its formidable abundance of confidence and its history of accomplishing the impossible mixed with the freedom and courage to implement immediate changes from the lowest man on the chain all the way to the top is walloping China with 20 times more production per worker. Add to that its confidence that America, on a need-to basis, can increase production, manpower, and acreage for agricultural use enormously speaks volumes as to who holds the real power in this world. An intelligent God such as ours would give that advantage to the most humane, the most compassionate, the most tolerant country ever to dominate the world stage - the United States of America, one nation under God.

     What have you truly prayed for with faith, needed, and been denied by God. From my part, nothing that I truly needed and prayed for has been denied. Let us pray that the leaders of all the world's countries and their subjects come to find this same truth from the one true God of Israel. He promised us trials and tribulations, but always delivers what we need to prevail through those great ordeals.

Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam (For the Glory of God)

 

 

OPERATION RISING LION

 

  

CHAPTER 12

Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam

(For the Glory of God)

     November 27, 2020, on a highway near Absard, Iran, Mossad watched on monitors thousands of miles away in Israel. They awaited the scheduled convoy containing Iran's top nuclear mastermind, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, to come rolling down that highway. Sitting on the shoulder of  the highway was a Nissan Truck. The truck was equipped with an automatic satellite-guided machine gun. 

     In the middle of the convoy was a vehicle occupied by Mohsen with his wife sitting next to him. 

     In the blink of an eye, it was over with a few satellite-guided and precision shots. These shots and the placement of Mohsen's vehicle were all designed to hit only him and not his wife, not the driver, no collateral damage; clean and precise. When the Men Whose Names We Cannot Know told me and Mabior about this, our first thoughts were, "They must have a man in the car with them working for Mossad to know where they are sitting." Satellite FLIR(Forward-Looking Infrared) and a driver with nerves of steel - perhaps.

     Further along to present day Iran. It was a cloudless evening in Tehran, Iran on June 13, 2025. That day, the temperature hit 100 F. The country was in the midst of a five-year drought. Water reservoirs were under ten percent, or what is referred to by water supply specialists as unpumpable. Water rationing and rolling power blackouts were a part of daily life.

     Soon, Iranian citizens would witness, not their Iranian government leadership, but the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, speaking to them over their televisions. The once seemingly all-powerful Ayatollah and his henchmen were in the unfamiliar role of playing second fiddle to the much hated Israelis that were becoming the much loved of a large portion of the Iranian populace. In fact, there were paper signs on power poles and social media posts urging Israelis to invade their country.

     A Muslim Theocracy had ruled Iran for over 45 years. Now, Iran, a country of 75,000 mosques at one point, was down to a mere 25,000 or less. The astounding truth was that Iran was the fastest growing Christian nation in the world. Learned Christians and Jews were quietly spreading their well grounded beliefs of God's Angels heavily influencing events in the Middle East. It was based on those afore mentioned events, written down thousands of years ago in the Torah. Many non-believers were hard-pressed to dispute these stories. As we shall see, the glory of God was about to fill the Middle East. 

     A most unusual gathering of top Iranian Generals was taking place that hot June evening. This gathering of high-ranking military men would be a high security threat. However, the Ayatollah, himself, had ordered them there. As they would later discover, appearances can be deceiving. In reality, it was Mossad that had invited them to gather in one room, around one table.  You will soon see for what purpose Mossad orchestrated the gathering of a prominent group of military leaders. These powerful men came together, ignorant of the thousands of diabolical machines hovering patiently all over the clear Iranian skies for a strike signal. These military bosses/henchmen/evil followers/power hungry little men leisurely entered the multi-story building in Tehran, clueless that it was their last minutes upon this earth. 

     As Mossad, their associates in Iran, and The Team watched this building and many other buildings in many other locations, over 1,000 kamikaze drones (AKA Loitering Munitions) slammed almost simultaneously into the various target locations. Missiles also slammed into structures and vehicles at that same moment. It was truly hell on earth in Iran. Military staff were overwhelmed and under-communicated. In other words, they had what is referred to as "cognitive paralysis." Radars not destroyed in previous months strikes at that moment were blank as Israeli F35s along with hundreds of contrasting support aircraft bolted through Iranian skies unopposed and without fear of retributive justice. As one Israeli pilot described it, "It was like David having his way with Goliath before he cut his head off."

     There were several similar strikes on the night of June 13, 2025, like the one in November 2020. These strikes hit nuclear scientists and other top level people involved in the nuclear proliferation business the night of June 13. It was beautiful in execution, but, at the same time, ruthless as intended. The lives of high ranking military, top nuclear scientists, military equipment and vehicles, and facilities all gone in less than fifteen minutes, a quarter of an hour. 

     Not only were these strikes intended to send a message to Iran about Israel being light years ahead of Iran in technology, but they were intended to instill fear of Israel and Israel's God into the psyche of the entire world.

     The night of June 13 found Amani, Jok, and Alier, The Team's computer gurus, sitting together involved in an intense discussion about the info on their laptops. The trio, oblivious to the world around them, sat on a hillside in the midst of the rest of The Team and six trusted Iranian IRGC members and their wives. The gurus, in cooperation with Mossad, had developed a remote controlled pickup truck. Not just any pickup. The Team had smuggled across the border large quantities of RDX, TNT, and detonators to create a potent cocktail to be served by the remotely controlled pickup truck at the gate of Thar-Allah, HQ for IRGC in Tehran. Timed with the Israeli strikes, The Team's mission with the aid of locals was to create havoc around Tehran. The scene had been prepared during their former trip to Iran. Decked out in civies, the group had several laptops and iPhones powered on as they sat in what would appear to a casual observer as lackadaisical positions. They had food and blankets on the ground as if they were a family group picnicking. 

     Two motorcycle headlights were spotted turning onto the substandard dirt road that ran up the steep hillside. It was definitely the morality police or what was known officially as the "Guidance Patrol." 

     Half way up the incline, the two motorcycle's headlights went dark. Prior to that, we weren't too concerned about being able to handle the situation, but, now, Mabior motioned for the twins, Ali and Kuol, to work their way down the hill on a scout. 

     The strike time was rapidly approaching. We needed to resolve this situation - now!

     Mabior ordered the gurus into the middle vehicle to shield them. As I checked my watch, I heard a laugh from the dark down the hillside. Everyone tensed. Another couple of grunts and chuckles had us more perplexed than concerned. I thought, "Where's the twins?"

     Samuel and Alek had worked their way down the hill for a better look. Then, we heard those two and other familiar voices talking and laughter. 

     Chad let out a muffled, "Dad, Giff."

     Mabior was next, "I should have known we couldn't do one mission without Artie and Giff."

     Accompanied by the twins who had been put in charge of the four Guidance Patrol captives, Artie and Giff gave us a matter of fact replay of the capture. 

     Giff fired off, "We were just in the area, and decided to visit our old friends when these four pillocks turned onto the very road we was occupying. Well, we ain't sharin' this road with no eejits like them."

     Artie continued, "They's rubbish at ridin' those cycles. They fell off with one soft kiss from our G36s. Look James, this one here is shakin' n tremblin' like he's scared. After they go around jailin' little girls for no hijab. They ain't so tough now." Artie delivered a very impassioned boot to the kidney at those words. 

     The wives of the IRGC men all gave Artie and Giff a heartfelt hug. We all knew the emotions behind those hugs and the boot kick Artie delivered. We had a future surprise for the Guidance guys. 

     Our focus immediately went back to the mission at hand. In the far distance we saw the successful explosion as the main gate at Thar-Allah mushroomed into oblivion as we cheered. 

     Our gurus activated numerous other drones and vehicles toward their targets. The night sky around Tehran saw numerous military installations light up with tremendous explosions. 

     In the focus on our missions and the excitement, we almost missed an Iranian Rakhsh (armored personnel carrier) pull up. 

     Artie yelled, "Hold your fire! It's the Men Whose Names We Cannot Know. Forgot to tell you they were on their way. Ain't she a bonnie, Sammy? These Mossad boys took a forged requisition to the main weapons depot in Tehran, and got this monster."

     Samuel laughed and shook his head in reverence of the act. "Artie, we just assumed you and Giff were the kings of cunning, but all along it's these gentlemen and the entire Israeli nation."

     Mabior looked at the four Guidance guys, with, "You guys are rubbernecking the APC, but you're about to get a ride in it. Well, up and at it, boys. Your chauffeurs await."

     Mr. B, aka Mr. Spooky, of the Men Whose Names We Cannot Know, spoke to the captives in the Iranian Farsi language as they were loaded into the APC, "You boys ever thought about a vacation in Israel? Too bad you forgot to bring your luggage."

I'M BACK!

 

I'M BACK! 🙏 

 

 

 CHAPTER 12 WILL BE OUT WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK 

CHAPTER 11 Ta Pure Adiyo

 

 

 CHAPTER 11

Ta a pure adiyo?

     I tramped merrily to Fred's along with Mabior and Samuel. We were excited to be home. Yei wasn't New York or Los Angeles. But it was home and better than those places to The Team. People along our route greeted us with big smiles and waves. They gave us loud and excited Dinka greetings, "Ta a pure adiyo?" Roughly translated as, "How have you woken up?" 

     It was slow-going as Samuel and The Team slowed our vehicles to a creep as they exited to personally greet well-wishers. Samuel kept busy giving out hugs to as many of the Dinkas and others as was humanly possible. All of them reciprocated with something like, "Mr. Samuel, how is that blessing from God doing this fine day?" Of course, the word had spread faster than texting throughout Yei of the Winston's newest member. Most likely, the news had been broadcast by those incessant Dinka drums. 

     As The Team walked by Fred's, we were greeted by Fred and staff falling all over themselves to be the first to hug, congratulate, and ask for pictures of baby Aliza. It was a happy reunion for us coffee lovers. You get used to a certain taste, then miss it when it's taken away. We wound up going into Fred's and pouring our own coffee's as Fred and staff were totally distracted. 

     On our second cup, a winded Thon, who had gone ahead to the compound, ran up to us bearing what appeared to be important news.

     "Chief, Mabior, our Dinka brothers have let the cows out!" Thon's mind has weird connections, and it scares me when I sometimes understand those connections. It was the Baha Men's song of similar lyrics. Thon was playing the part, "Who let the dogs (cows)  out? Who, who, who, who?" Thon added a circular dance movement to the words. Every one of us spit hot coffee on one another. Thon really was a lovable hoot. 

     Mabior, having borrowed Fred's chair, fell out of that chair backwards, laughing. Finally, Samuel was able to get out, "Thon, what's going on?"

     With a roguish grin, Thon pulled his 357 out of its holster and twirled it on his index finger as he answered with, "Saddle up, podnah, the compound is full of cattle."

     Mabior gathered himself off the ground, shouting, "Mooove over, Pilgrim, the cavalry's on the way!"

     And we were on the way to our first round up. It's nice to be home and in the saddle once again. I looked back at one point to see half of Yei following and singing, "Who let the cows out, directed by Thon?"

     Nearing the compound entrance, the crowd parted as if by Moses. Some entering the compound, while the younger ones climbed the walls to get the birds-eye view of the cacophony inside. Cattle roaming freely around and within Yei was not a rare sight. People knew the owners would eventually show up and herd the delinquents back home. Mabior and several of The Team were raised around cattle. The crowd cheered every person bucked off. Most of the cattle were disappointingly docile. However, that fact mattered little as the atmosphere was festive, which meant the drums fired up. 

      Led by Mrs. Akech, the wives rushed out to meet their husbands with mutual embraces. 

     Food was arriving in abundance from sources unknown, and few are the ones who cared. 

     To my surprise, Leah appeared behind Mrs. Akech wearing a full apron and sporting a bundled newborn as she gazed around the compound crowd for Samuel. Upon spotting him, both worked through the crowd to embrace one another. From a distance, I heard her tell Samuel, "Mrs. Akech is teaching me how to cook!"

     After the Tel Aviv hospital party, Samuel and The Team had disappeared to an emergency meeting in Tel Aviv with the Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, before boarding a plane to Yei. 

     Right now, all that mattered was the scene of tenderness which surrounded us. Sadly, this would change dramatically during the night. War with Iran was only moments away.

     In the meeting with the Israeli Defense Minister, The Team had been posed a question by Minister Katz, Where do you individually think Christians and The Team stand in the coming conflict. General Iverson looked around the room at The Team. He told Katz, "These men have their own minds and choices, as do all Christians."

     Each man was asked, including myself. Without hesitation, it was unanimous. We stand with Israel. Shermake quoted Genesis 12:3 "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you."

     Minister Katz walked slowly around the front of his office, pacing slowly back and forth as he talked. Randomly stopping while turning his head toward The Team and staring into the eyes of each. He talked like I had always imagined a commander would have addressed his men to mentally prep them for D-Day in WWII. 

    The Minister began, "The Crusader armies covered a great distance and were composed of numbers that were unheard of in that time. This operation will dwarf the Crusades. Hundreds of Israeli planes and their support aircraft will be traveling over 2,400 miles roundtrip to various targets in Iran. As you know, assets are in place to cause chaos and destruction from inside Iran. You'll go to Yei and be with your nearest loved ones for a very short period. Mossad operatives will come to you at the appointed time like a thief in the night. Be prepared. You are familiar with the areas of your coming operations. You have trained for years for just this time - a time - a time that men from the past would have sacrificed everything to be part of. Furthermore, you will tell your grandchildren tales of this time and your exploits, one of the most exciting times in history. Israel and her allies will be attacking a country 75 times larger than Israel, but God has her backed up by the strongest military the world has ever been witness to, the United States of America. Her mighty Navy and Air Force will help watch over Israel during the assured retaliation to come. Team, for you to be a part of this means only God, himself, could have chosen you. Samuel! Give us a powerful prayer!"

     And Samuel did just that. We all felt the enormity of the coming events, and that weight bore down upon us. 

     Hoseini spoke words that personified his spiritual feelings, "Persia, my homeland, Daniel's army is coming to set you free."

     A peaceful look planted itself upon Mabior's face. I hadn't seen that look since before Mark and Chan's death. I put my arm around him. He looked back at me, saying, "God has answered my prayers to be part of something like this. It was this Iranian regime that made it possible for that monster, Gusev, to kill Mark and Chan. Revenge is God's, but I prayed long and hard to be one of his instruments of revenge."

     I just nodded. What more could be said?

     Back home, a light knock came on my bedroom door around 2 am. I opened the door to a man in khaki slacks and plain white shirt, saying, "General Jefferson, it is time. Assemble the men in street civies without equipment and weapons. Cars are waiting outside to transport The Team to the airport."

     As we loaded into 5 nondescript vehicles, Mabior turned to me, uttering, "Chief, you don't need to do this."

     It was simple, "A thousand mules couldn't hold me back."

     Mabior scrunched his face as he replied, "Speaking of, you are the most stubborn of all the mules!"

     Laughing, I rebutted, "Me! That's kinda like calling the kettle black. You are the most pig-headed..."

     Seeing everyone staring at us, we gave each other a big hug, and climbed into our vehicle with firm smiles as Mabior shouted for all to hear just before entering his vehicle, "For God!"

Ukraine, Europe, Russia, and China - my Thoughts

 

My home, Oklahoma City and the State Capitol Building and Oil Wells on the boulevard leading up to the Capitol Building

 

     After watching the press conference with President Trump, VP Vance, and President Zelenski of Ukraine, I have some thoughts about our alliances. I'm sure President Trump will once again be accused of being vulgar and uncultured by the mainstream media, Democrats, and European leaders.

     Ukraine, the Breadbasket of Russia, in 2014 the government of Ukraine was overthrown: The Revolution of dignity or The Maidan Revolution. This transpired due to their President Viktor Yanukovych refusing to sign a political association and free trade agreement with the EU, European Union. Instead, he chose closer ties with Russia. Simple enough, except the CIA was behind the revolution that followed.

     Why would the CIA get involved? The thinking at the CIA and other European Intel agencies was that Russia had to be defeated. Their intel agencies had been directed for almost 50 years at the former Communist Soviet Union. Their game plans had all been geared at taking down a horrible world nuclear menace. After the fall of the Soviet Iron Curtain in 1991, they never changed their focus, their plans. Well, not much. They are bureaucrats, and bureaucrats are not very malleable. It would be so much work to redo all those plans and re-aim all those missiles. It was like Hitler telling his bureaucrats in the middle of WW II that the Jews weren't monsters after all, and they'd need to find a new monster and make new plans.

     Okay, they want to defeat Russia - how? The how solution was starting and backing a revolution in Ukraine when the right occasion came along, and that occasion came along in 2014. NATO's thinking behind this manufactured revolt and war: the Eastern Europeans would be much more accepting of the mass casualties of a war with Russia than the U.S. and European countries. The problem of the weapons disparity would be solved by the NATO countries supplying advanced weapons to Ukraine. Even Trump played along in his first term.

     After the Zelenski - Trump Presser debacle on February 28, 2025, it got me to thinking about alliances. Now, here is the result, and possibly the Trump Cabinet's thinking, too.

     Europe with the loss of their colonies and their globalist approach are poor and virtually a shell of their once-upon-a-time powerful selves. As allies, they are demanding and contribute little to the game. The U.S. basically pays most of the bill and supplies most of the bodies for their defense. So what's a better solution to the rising world crisis of war, war, war?

     China, Russia, and the U.S. are the three countries with the most powerful militaries. China and Russia are allied against the U.S. currently, but there are rifts developing in the China-Russia alliance.

     Russia has the more western qualities and history of the two. Also, Russia is a Christian country. The more the parties attempting an alliance have in common the easier the process and the more solid the future.

     What does Russia have to offer? Russia is deep in fossil fuel reserves and mineral wealth. However, most of it is under-developed and unorganized. The U.S. has the talent, technology, and organizational skills to develop Russia's resources. Russia borders China, and she fears a rising and aggressive China military. Add to that the issues with their treaties currently are on the rise. North Korea, a wild card deluxe, is influenced and has a history of cooperation with Russia, and her ties with China are at their weakest point ever. With Russia in our sphere of influence, North Korea may be a volatile addition. She and China are definitely having issues. With North Korea's addition, we would have China basically hemmed in with South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Indo China, and Taiwan already in our sphere of influence.

     The U.S. and Russia as allies? Why not. European alliances, NATO, that's like doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome. What if we allowed Ukraine to defeat Russia, supplied billions upon billions more and who knows what kind of additional weapons to them, a rogue country already? The enormous nuclear stockpile and conventional weapons stockpiles in a defeated Russia and in the wrong hands is terrifying. I do not wish to add to the fears the world faced as Russia collapsed in the 90s about their nuclear stockpiles and even today haunts us as to who has stolen what and sold to whom.

     One last point, Ukraine borders Russia. Remember the near nuclear war with Russia we had in the 60s when they put missiles in Cuba?  Remember the Monroe Doctrine? You seriously don't expect a reaction out of Russia with NATO supplying all manner of weapons to Ukraine? Just like in Israel's situation, I think Russia is justifiably concerned about NATO supplying weapons and billions of dollars to support the Ukraine war effort.

     I was a big supporter of Ukraine in the beginning, but we need to really break down what the facts are. Intel agencies are masterly at directing our thoughts in a desired direction. You need to do your own investigation and come to your own conclusions. I cannot say that I have all the facts and have it all down to a science. Maybe my thoughts are being directed. I know I have followed a seemingly directed path on several occasions. Pray - pray for God's wisdom and clarity on the matter. Pray for our leaders to follow God's will, not theirs. Love you all and pray for peace.
