Today President Biden and his administration has announced yet another spending package related to the Russia-Ukraine crisis, while announcing that the United States will also be accepting a wave of Ukrainian refugees fleeing their nation.
Per an official release from the White House, the statement begins with,
‘The United States is proud to be the largest single donor of humanitarian, democracy, and human rights assistance to Ukraine, working closely with our European partners. We remain committed to ensuring those affected by President Putin’s war of aggression, especially vulnerable populations such as women, children, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTQI+) persons, and persons with disabilities, are able to access food, clean water, shelter, and medical care. In addition to assisting people in need within Ukraine, we are supporting the efforts of Ukraine’s neighbors and the European Union to welcome and host millions of refugees. And we will do our part to welcome Ukrainians to the United States.’
Leading off of that, the Biden Administration announced that they will provide over $1 billion “in new funding towards humanitarian assistance” to aid Ukrainians impacted by the conflict, in preparation for a coming wave of food insecurity in the region. The funding, the White House claims, is designed to provide “food, shelter, clean water, medical supplies and other forms of assistance.”
To clarify, even though Russia and Ukraine’s leading exports are wheat and grains, and seed oils, the U.S. plans “to reach 3.1 million people in Ukraine with ready-to-eat rations, canned goods, bread, wheat, flour, and oil,” along with additional medical and safety care, and vaccinations, plus many other toiletries and sanitary products.
Moreover, the White House also announced an additional “$320 million in democracy and human rights funding to Ukraine and its neighbors.”
This set of funds will be directed towards forming the the European Democratic Resilience Initiative (EDRI). “The EDRI is expected to support media freedom and counter disinformation, increase the safety and security of activists and vulnerable groups including LGBTQI+ persons, build resilience to strategic corruption and kleptocracy, strengthen democratic and anti-corruption institutions and the region’s rule of law, and support accountability for human rights abuses and violations of international law,” the White House detailed.
And piggy-backing off of the EDRI plan, it will also be designed to continue to slap the Russian government on the wrist, in sum.
And while the White House acknowledges that most of the fleeing refugees will choose to remain in Europe, the U.S. will open its arms to 100,000 refugees that wish to come here, though the White House clarifies that this will be accomplished via a “full range of legal pathways, including the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.”
We still expect most displaced Ukrainian citizens will want to be in neighboring countries or elsewhere in the EU where they may have family and where there are already large diaspora communities, in the hope they can return home soon. But at the same time, we recognize that some may wish to come to the United States.
A senior administration official told the press, according to Politico
The WinePress has been covering some of the European nations who have opened their arms to these refugees, with some governments going as far as to float out the real possibility of sequestering private property and land from the owners, displacing them, and giving them to the Ukrainians.
Furthermore, as part of Biden’s new initiatives, the U.S. will also be helping with treatment of diseases and health risks for Ukrainians, namely: “Covid-19, HIV, TB, measles, polio, mental health, non-communicable diseases, and maternal and child health.”
Lastly, as laid out in the government’s press release, the White House acknowledges to some degree the food disruptions and insecurities that are now being generated due to the conflict and restrictions.
They explained, “The United States, through the Feed the Future initiative and our nutrition commitments, will be providing over $11 billion over the next five years to address food security threats and malnutrition across the globe – with programming in many of the countries vulnerable to increases in food and fertilizer prices.” Moreover, the Biden administration notes that this funding will additionally aid in “improving people’s access to higher quality diets and safer food for improved nutrition.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.Matthew 24:6-8
I will not waste your time and mine ranting about all the boondoggling garbage in this new spending package that will never see the light of day to where they claim it will go to; but I will cover the refugee thing, and the food supplies.
Firstly, do you realize the utter insanity of America now claiming they are going to offer up wheat and cooking oils to Ukrainians, even though those are their primary commodity exports? What this REALLY translates to, is, the shortages and famine are going to get worse. The WP has detailed in other reports what these sanctions are really doing, and it is plainly causing manufactured famine and food shortages. This move translates that the supply of these goods will NOT go to Ukrainians, but will quietly be taken off the shelves, so prices can skyrocket and more people will go hungry.
Therefore, this means you need to continue to add to your supplies, before the zombie population finally realizes that there are definite shortages months down the line. This is something I have been advocating since The WP began in 2020, knowing that things would get tight way in advance, not knowingly the media and handlers would propagandize Russia-Ukraine.
As for the refugees, looking the past glaringly obvious hypocrisy of accepting these refugees through the “legal” channels, ignoring the illegal immigrant apocalypse at our southern border; I wonder how long it will take before the U.S. pushes the question of private lands garbage? If Europe is pushing it there, it will surely happen here.
Moreover, The WP has reported that the WHO said this refugee crisis and war will lead to another outbreak. This morning, Insider ran a headline that states: “The BA.2 Omicron subvariant is now dominant in northeastern US states, per CDC data. Some experts warn of an impending new wave.” The perfect storm is strengthening, and it is becoming more obvious, from my perspective, how the media will play this. I’m sure you can imagine how they will spin it, with mainstream and leftist media blaming Putin for the cause in cases to rise because of the refugees; and right wing pundits blaming the government for even accepting the refugees, noting that Ukraine has one of the worst vaccination rates in Europe, and throwing in the biolabs rhetoric in there too for good measure; causing more division and race wars.
The setup here is ‘perfect…’
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Jacob, Asia Minor is today’s Turkey right?
And the seven churches in revelation are in then in turkey? If so, why? And what does it mean?
An example for us the church To asses our spiritual health today. Just like the parable about the sower. So that we may know if we are in poor / good condition in our spiritual walk with Jesus. Thus to help us in how to judge ourselves.
Right?
Now the angel’s of the churches means that we have an angel assigned to each of the churches even though we may be a little scattered. Thats so interesting I love little hidden treasures like that specially in times when one feels like God isn’t there because he’s too quiet and we feel alone and insecure he gives these treasures of reassurance that he is there but like a teacher he is quiet during the test.
You being one of the men God has given me ( brother bryan being the other) to teach me and help me along this new way I just wanted to ask you if you can guide me by telling me if all this I understand is it correct or have I made a mistake somewhere?
I would very much appreciate your judgement/correction/affirmation on this.
And thank you from my whole heart if you get the time to read this and answer me.
Any answer yet? Anyone?
