Today, we tell you about a church that won't pray for Donald Trump by name because the
mere mention of his name might trigger trauma.
We discover the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooter was hanging out at jihadi websites and we
learn how progressives plan to protest the inauguration in Washington on Friday.
It's Skywatch TV for Wednesday, January 18th, 2017, I'm Derek Gilbert.
First up, Iran celebrates Captured U.S. Sailors Day.
One year ago today, big billboard in Tehran, you'd think that the 1.7 billion dollars would
have bought at least a little goodwill.
Back home, new undercover video shows that progressives are planning to stir things up
Friday during the president's inauguration, Project Veritas, which has stirred up controversy
over the last five years by releasing various undercover videos like the ones of Acorn,
the community activist group, and exposing executives at National Public Radio essentially
selling advertising.
They've posted new videos showing that progressive groups apparently plan to protest and disrupt
the Deplora Ball, which is a party thrown by Deplorables, the supporters of Donald Trump
tomorrow, Thursday at the National Press Club.
The plan to deploy stink bombs or butyric acid smells bad, lasts a long time.
They also intend to shut down access to Washington, D.C. on Friday by blocking bridges, highway
access points, even metro rail.
Let's just hope for their sake they don't succeed because if they do and someone dies,
these first responders can't get to them with an ambulance, this could be a bad situation.
The Secret Service is taking it seriously.
Director Joseph Clancy says the threat level is different from previous inaugurations.
The selection cycle, you probably noticed, been a little more contentious than those
in the past.
Biggest threat is coming from anti-government or anarchist groups who want to disrupt things
and might use violence to do so.
Just remember, these guys will be there.
Friday could be a little more interesting than we think.
In Davos, Switzerland, the annual World Economic Forum is underway.
It's where the elite greet and meet to eat $40 hot dogs, seriously.
And while they're doing that, plan out how you and I should live.
They're fretting about the rise of nationalism, examples being the Brexit vote in England
and the election of Donald Trump.
Also, they believe we Americans should stop using cash.
We've talked about the war on cash on this program over the last couple years.
A Nobel laureate economist interviewed at Davos says countries like the United States
should stop using physical money and move to a digital currency because of corruption,
tax evasion, terrorism, things like that, the usual issues.
Of course, there are serious privacy issues and at least the economist acknowledges them.
If all of our transactions are digital, there's a record of everything you buy.
Government knows everything that you do with your paycheck, not to mention essentially
making banks a public utility because no matter how badly the banks invest your money and
how much money they lose, you can't pull all of your money out of the bank because it's
digital.
It's all bits and bytes.
This is the Banker Full Employment Act.
And of course, from there, then it's just a matter of time before they start pushing
for security reasons, of course, the mark in the back of the hand or in the forehead.
Now, of course, when the wealthiest people in the world get together, that is, security
is very tight.
For the first time, we've seen the deployment at the World Economic Forum of anti-drone
guns.
Those will become more and more popular with law enforcement in the years ahead.
Now, he may not bring peace to Israel in the Middle East, but President-elect Trump may
be helping the Palestinians at least make peace with themselves.
Rival factions, Fatah and Hamas, have agreed to reconcile.
Parties made the announcement in Moscow Tuesday.
Spokesmen said they would call on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to immediately
begin plans to form a unity government.
The last time Palestinians had an election where everybody voted when both Fatah and
Hamas took part was 2006, which was when Hamas won a surprise victory.
Palestinian representatives, not coincidentally, also met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov and asked him to persuade President-elect Donald Trump not to move the U.S. embassy
to Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Now, why is this not a surprise?
Independent journalists once again scoop the major media.
Not us, Skywatch TV, GotNews.com, Founded by long-time journalist and blogger Charles
C. Johnson.
They confirmed that the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooter Esteban Santiago had posted to a forum
for downloading Islamic jihadi videos in 2007 back on January 6th, 12 days ago.
And they did that an hour before the major media even identified Santiago by name.
Now, here we are 12 days later, 11 days later when the media followed suit and they are
playing catch-up now and posting stories like this.
But once again, the real news is coming from the alternative media, credit where it's due,
GotNews.com.

An American woman died last fall of an infection resistant to all 26 antibiotics available in
the United States.
Both officials made the announcement last week.
The woman who was in her 70s died last September in Nevada.
She'd been hospitalized in India with fractured leg bones.
The cause of death was sepsis following an infection from a rare bacterium known as carbapenum
resistant interiobacterice, or for us non-scientists, CRE.
This is resistant to all antibiotics available in the United States, all 26 tests on the
specific strain of CRE were negative for a gene that makes bacteria resistant to the
antibiotic of last resort, Calliston.
Now experts don't know how the woman's infection acquired this resistance, which is disturbing.
Postmortem tests showed that her infection might have responded to a treatment not yet
approved in the United States, but experts are concerned.
We'll talk more about this on Cy Friday because Sharon understands the science a lot better
than I do.
We talked yesterday about the ISIS attack on the military airport at the Syrian city
of Deir ez-Zor.
It's on the Euphrates River southeast of Raqqa, the Islamic State's capital.
Deir ez-Zor's airport, which has been defended by Syrian government troops since it was surrounded
in September of 2015, now cut off from the city of Deir ez-Zor.
That's a problem for the city because supplies into Deir ez-Zor have only been coming in by
airplane to the airport, and now the Islamic State is in between the airport and the city.
What we didn't mention yesterday was that last fall, there was an incident in which
a U.S. airstrike on Syrian government troops actually opened a window of opportunity for
ISIS to gain ground in the battle for Deir ez-Zor.
About 100,000 civilians in the city, thousands of Syrian troops, again surrounded by ISIS
fighters since about September of 2015, the U.S. strike, which included Australian and
Danish warplanes, occurred on September 17th during what was supposed to be a ceasefire
brokered by Russia.
Needless to say, the ceasefire fell apart pretty quickly after that, and coincidentally,
ISIS fighters launched an attack on Syrian government troops about 10 minutes after the
U.S. airstrike, which prompted some observers to speculate as to whether they had been coordinated.
So civilians and the Syrian government troops waiting, hoping for somebody to come in and
relieve the siege, because what will happen if the ISIS troops take Deir ez-Zor and the
airport will not be pleasant.
And Dr. Jerome Corsi, by the way, who writes for WND, author of the best-selling books
Obama Nation and Unfit for Command, the Swift Boat Book about John Kerry, he wrote a long
piece last week at wnd.com based on emails released by WikiLeaks that revealed that the
Obama administration did, in fact, supply the weapons and support needed to create the
monster that we call ISIS.
And Donald Trump was called any number of names for making this suggestion that President
Obama and his administration, Hillary Clinton's State Department, facilitated the rise of
ISIS.
Now, the major media won't report on this, but the emails, which have never been declared
faked, just hacked, paint a pretty clear picture.
It's a picture like that crazy protest painting we talked about yesterday, painted in human
blood, except that this picture, what's happening in Syria and Iraq because of the Islamic State,
it's being painted with the blood of people who weren't asked if they wanted to donate.
And speaking of WikiLeaks, the guy who made the group famous just had his sentence commuted
by President Obama, the president shortening the sentence of then-private Bradley Manning,
now prefers to be called Chelsea Manning, the move is part of a final push of pardons
and commutations by the president, who has now shortened the sentences of more federal
inmates than any other president in history.
The total now up to 1,385.
Expect more today and tomorrow before the president leaves office.
And as we prepare for the dawn of a new administration in Washington and maybe a new era in America,
at least one church will not be praying for the new president by name anyway.
All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California was informed by its rector by blog post that
they would no longer pray for the president by name.
This is a change in policy because the name Donald Trump is, and I quote, literally a
trauma trigger for some people.
And quote, now I don't want to be insensitive here to people who have literally suffered
literal trauma, but Jesus commanded us to love our enemies, you know, not just tolerate
them, but to actually love them.
And of course, to pray for those in authority, that's a command we see a couple of times
in the New Testament.
May I suggest in Christian love that any Christian who finds it difficult, impossible to even
hear the syllables, Donald Trump may want to do some serious self examination to find
out how much room in here they're giving to the Holy Spirit to work.
We're told that he that is in us is greater than he that is in the world, meaning the
Holy Spirit, the God who spoke the universe into existence is more powerful than the spirit
of the age, meaning Satan and his minions.
But if the very mention of the name Donald Trump is enough to literally trigger trauma,
perhaps there's not enough Holy Spirit at work.
May I also suggest that those people who are triggered by the mere mention of the president
elect are perhaps focusing on the wrong enemy.
You know, the one that we're told in the Bible is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may
devour.
You know, the God worshiped by these people here, neighbors, in fact, to the folks at
All Saints Church, the satanic temple in Los Angeles held its biggest gathering ever Saturday
attended by people like this.
The black mass they called it or satanic mass featured a genuine bloodletting.
It was a fundraiser for a number of causes, including women's reproductive rights, which
as you know is a euphemism, it's code for killing unborn children, which ironically puts them
on the same side of that issue as the religious leaders we told you about yesterday who blessed
the work of the new women's health clinic in Washington, DC, the Planned Parenthood
office there.
May I suggest that any Christian or Jew for that matter who finds themselves on the same
side of any issue with the satanic temple might want to have a real good long thought
about what they believe and why they believe it.
Besides the goth industrial music show at this satanic mass with the requisite mosh pit
and crowd surfing, the event featured a demonic cat lecture.
I'm not quite sure what that is.
If that was a lecture by demonic cats or about demonized cats, I don't know.
A destruction ritual and an invocation ritual.
Well, I'll say again, greater is he that is in you, if you've accepted Jesus Christ,
than he that is in the world.
The God of this world, the one glorified at this event Saturday.
Prayer is our weapon and if we're so trigger sensitive that we can't bring ourselves to
pray or we can't continue praying if we hear the name of somebody that we really, really
don't like, again, may I suggest in Christian love that it's time to toughen up and pull
on the whole armor of God.
Not just the parts that you find convenient or socially acceptable.
