Red Heifer Update: Heifer Ashes & Spring Water Purification Practice

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on February 14, 2026 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:5-6 And the heifer shall be burned in his sight. Its skin, its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall be burned. And the priest shall take cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn, and throw them into the fire burning the heifer.

First of all, as many Christians are acutely aware, animal sacrifices for sin are no longer required. However, these things are still prophesied. After all, the antichrist needs a Temple to defile.

To be clear, the red heifer is the symbol or type. Jesus Christ is the real deal, the fulfillment.

Samaria, Israel: Purification practice with heifer ashes and spring water mixture.

The ritual preparation of the red heifer follows precise steps laid out in the Bible and further elaborated by the Sages. The completely red cow, which must never have had a yoke placed upon it, is slaughtered and burned entirely—hide, flesh, blood, and dung—along with cedar wood, hyssop, and crimson thread. The ashes are then collected and mixed with spring water to create the mei niddah (waters of separation). This mixture is used in a specific sprinkling ritual: a kohen dips a bundle of hyssop into the water and sprinkles it on the impure person on the third and seventh days of their purification period. Only after this double sprinkling and the passage of seven days can someone defiled by contact with death enter the Temple precincts.

We do have a clarification regarding the remaining four heifers per the Berkowitz article from Israel 365 News.

The four remaining red heifers from Texas remain in Shiloh, their status as potential candidates for the actual ritual still intact despite the controversy.

This also appears to be a reversal from August 2025 when the Temple Institute announced all 5 heifers to be disqualified.

https://israel365news.com/411214/temple-institute-announces-all-texas-red-heifers-disqualified

Apparently one of the cows from Texas had warts on its neck and a broken tail which disqualified it as a perfect sacrifice.

It would appear the sacrificial burning event in July 2025 was a practice trial.

Heifer burning practice started back in August of 2019.

Which brings us to a video from January 2026 at Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz YouTube Channel

Larry Borntrager is a non-Jew who has been caring for the red heifers in Shiloh. On July 1, one of the red heifers was burned in Samaria. As the heifers do not have ear tags or brands, they can only be identified by someone who knows them intimately, and the only person who does is Larry. Some people claim that the cow with an injured and shortened tail was intended for the practice burning, but refused to get onto the truck. These people claim that a “perfect cow” boarded the truck instead, and that the practice of burning was actually kosher, using a cow suited for the red heifer ceremony. Larry explains which cow is missing and what was its status.

Check out the Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz YouTube post below on the issue.

The innocent, shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross is the fulfillment of forgiveness and the release from sin.

Hebrews 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

As the red heifer was and will be again sacrificed outside the city limits of Jerusalem, so was Jesus Christ. As the sacrifice of the red heifer is for the purification and consecration of the people of Israel, so was and is Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

Christ’s sacrifice is not only for the people of Israel, but for all the people of the world. He is the sacrifice for all sin for all time.

1 John 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Red Heifer Update; Christian Persecution; Tigris River

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 6, 2025 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

3 WEEK DIARY: WORK OF THE TEMPLE INSTITUTE: THE RED HEIFER

The three weeks of intensified focus and adoption of customs of mourning over the destruction of the two Holy Temples in Jerusalem have ended. But our recap of all the work the Temple Institute is involved with the one aim of rebuilding the Holy Temple and renewing the Divine service is far from exhausted.

Our longtime supporters are certainly aware that the Institute’s efforts to raise or discover a red heifer suitable for the purpose of achieving the ashes of the red heifer go back more than two decades. We have forged deep connections with cattle growers in the United States, both professionally and personally. We have worked with cattle growers in Israel. We have raised red heifer candidates here in Israel and flown over red heifer candidates from Texas. The halachot concerning the eligibility of a potential red heifer are very strict and unfortunately all our efforts so far have been frustrated by the appearance of more than one non-red hair on all our potential candidates. Nevertheless, our efforts continue.

Attaining a suitable red heifer, however, is only one aspect of the work of achieving the longed for purifying ashes. Once a viable red heifer has been achieved it needs to be slaughtered and burned into ashes. Simply to create a fire that will burn at a temperature capable of converting the heifer into ashes is a task that has required much research and experimentation.

Kohanim who are free of the impurity of tamei met must be located, for only kohanim enjoying such a status can be involved in creating the ashes. This requires kohanim who were home-birthed and have never stepped inside a hospital or cemetery, where the impurity of tamei met is a given. The Institute has successfully located and brought on board eligible kohanim.

Pure waters from the Shiloach spring located at the foot of the City of David must be collected and cedar wood, hyssop and wool dyed red with the tola’at shani insect must also be acquired and added to the ashes. Fortunately all these elements are readily attainable.

The actual burning of the heifer must take place on the Mount of Olives at a vantage point from which the kohen performing the ceremony can see into the great entrance of the Temple Sanctuary, (or, at least where it stood).

All throughout the Institute’s continuing efforts, tremendous research has formed the basis for every step forward we have taken. Rabbi Azarya arial of the Temple Institute has devoted years of his life researching and overseeing all these aspects.

Recently a groundbreaking test run was taken using a disqualified heifer. The experience better prepares us for the ultimate performance of the ceremony with a kosher heifer.

We all know that acquiring the purifying ashes of the red heifer will be a major and indisputable step forward toward building the Mikdash and renewing the offerings. For this very reason there are many opposed to our efforts among the enemies of Israel, and to our regret, even within the people of Israel. For this reason we keep a tight lid on our efforts and generally do not advertise our successes.

Due to our reluctance to advertise and also due to our lack of success in acquiring a viable red heifer candidate despite all our efforts, some of our supporters have expressed their frustration. After all, there are many red haired breeds of cattle in the world and, no doubt many thousands of potential red heifers born each year. No doubt if the Temple Institute enjoyed a much larger budget we could expand our efforts and potentially acquire a red heifer sooner, rather than later. But just as the chok – the statute – of the red heifer is considered to be a great test of our faith in and fidelity to HaShem’s word, we must also maintain the faith and trust that a suitable red heifer will be found when G-d sees fit. Meanwhile, our efforts continue, full steam ahead.

Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Red Heifer Update: Sacrificial Practice

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , on July 14, 2025 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:5-6 And the heifer shall be burned in his sight. Its skin, its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall be burned. And the priest shall take cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn, and throw them into the fire burning the heifer.

Somewhere in Samaria…

In the drill, a red heifer that had been housed at Shiloh by the Boneh Israel organization was prepared and burned on a pyre of wood as preparation for the possibility of an actual ceremony in the future. The heifer was not suitable for the actual ceremony, as it had been inspected by the rabbis of the Temple Institute and judged to have non-red hairs, thereby disqualifying it. The heifer was burned on a pyre of wood precisely as specified in Jewish sources.

When the time comes, the official sacrifice will take place on the Mount of Olives.

The red heifer project is under the direction of Rabbi Azariah Ariel of the Temple Institute.

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/411316

Sacrificial red heifer practice was initiated back in August 2019.

As of March 2025, there are no red heifer candidates per Rabbi Azariah Ariel.

“At this moment, we don’t have in our possession in Israel a red heifer that is verifiably kosher and suited for the ceremony…”

Red Heifer Update: No Candidates at This Time… Attitudes Are Changing

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on March 9, 2025 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

“At this moment, we don’t have in our possession in Israel a red heifer that is verifiably kosher and suited for the ceremony. About two years ago, five excellent red calves were brought to Israel. They had been checked and certified in America as perfectly red but several months after they arrived, they began to grow white hairs. There is an ongoing discussion in the Temple Institute regarding their suitability about whether the proximity of the hairs to each other disqualifies the cows or not.”

“The question now is how to proceed. There are several essential questions that must be addressed regarding the cows themselves and other issues surrounding the issue of the Temple and the Temple service. We are speaking with a wide range of rabbis and professionals about these issues we haven’t dealt with in over 2,000 years.” -Rabbi Azariah Ariel

“The American Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, went to the Temple Mount and stated that it is time for us to move forward and build the Temple. This interest is seen on the internet on sites like Wikipedia where there are spikes in views on the articles about the red heifer. This is on articles in English and even Arabic, as well as other languages. But there is not such an interest in red heifer articles in Hebrew.”

Recently at the Western Wall of the Temple Mount…

“At the Western Wall, where the Temple was built, and the roots of the Jewish people were established.” -IDF Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General, Eyal Zamir

Interestingly, through a quirk of Hebrew grammar, the phrase ‘where the Temple was built’ could also be understood as ‘where the Temple will be built.’

Red Heifer Update, August 2024

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Sacrificial System, Trend Update with tags , , , , , on August 17, 2024 by paulthepoke

Arabs have the understanding the red heifer will be sacrificed on the Mount of Olives across the valley from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Muslims are acutely aware of the 5 red heifer candidates imported from Texas.

The article also recognizes the existence of the two previous Jewish Temples.

“Temple worshipers are now practising the mitzvah [religious duty] of a red cow in front of the Temple Mount, which will enable the return of purity and the observance of all the temple mitzvahs,” Yinon Magal, journalist.

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-practise-red-heifer-ritual-al-aqsa

“We look back 100 days to remember the educated, the complicit, and the incapacitated among the world powers governed by the law of the jungle, reminding them of an aggression that reached its peak against our path (Al-Quds) and Al-Aqsa, with the start of its actual temporal and spatial division, and the ‘bringing of red cows’ as an application of a detestable religious myth designed for aggression against the feelings of an entire nation in the heart of its Arab identity, and the path of its prophet (the Night Journey) and Ascension to heaven.” -Abu Obeida, Military Spokesman, Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas

https://www.israel365news.com/382489/hamas-spokesman-oct-7-attack-launched-to-stop-the-red-heifers

As the Temple Institute and modern day Sanhedrin see it, the ashes from the sacrifice of the red heifer are necessary for purification prior to the building of the Temple.

Three to four years of age is an oral tradition that has been passed down through the generations. This is the minimal age necessary for red heifer sacrifice.

According to Jewish tradition, historically there have been 9 perfect red heifers. The 10th perfect red heifer is to coincide with the advent of the Messiah and the third Temple.

Back in October 2019, Heifer burning practice was initiated.

The innocent, shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross is the fulfillment of forgiveness and the release from sin.

Hebrews 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

As the red heifer was and will be again sacrificed outside the city limits of Jerusalem, so was Jesus Christ. As the sacrifice of the red heifer is for the purification and consecration of the people of Israel, so was and is Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

Christ’s sacrifice is not only for the people of Israel, but for all the people of the world. He is the sacrifice for all sin for all time.

1 John 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Tisha B`Av/9th of Av, 5784/2024, Talking Red Heifer & Third Holy Temple

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Sanhedrin, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , on August 10, 2024 by paulthepoke

Exodus 25:8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

Tisha b’Av:  to the Jew, this is a date, the 9th of the Hebrew month Av. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. The month is not named in the Bible. Av usually occurs during July or August on the Gregorian calendar.

This year, the 9th of Av begins at sunset on Monday, August 12, 2024 on our western Gregorian calendar.

The Temple Institute in Jerusalem continues to look forward to the construction of the 3rd Holy Temple on the 9th of Av…

Temple Institute…

The three weeks of mourning which stretch from the fast of the 17th of Tammuz to the fast of the 9th of Av may be a time for some people to look backward and dream about the Holy Temple that was. Not so for the people that make up the Temple Institute. The Temple Institute is forever looking forward and working tirelessly to educate Israel and the world about the importance of the Holy Temple in our future, while always training and preparing in every way possible for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple and the renewal of the Divine service, soon, and in our days!

The Temple Institute is talking about the red heifers, Temple service, priestly garments, the Levitical choir, Yeshiva, Law study, Holy Temple study.

And lastly… Build the Temple!

http://www.templeinstitute.org/

The 9th of Av is a day of mourning in Israel. Tragedy came about because of the account of Numbers 13-14. This event occurred immediately after God had delivered Israel out of bondage in Egypt. The short story is the Lord told Moses to send a group of spies to go scout the Promised Land. The spies came back and proclaimed the Jews could not take the land because of the inhabitants of the land were too big and too strong. The people rebelled against Moses. The people stated they would rather go back to Egypt. The nation (except Caleb and Joshua) did not believe God to give them the Promised Land. We know it occurred during the grape harvest per the text (Numbers 13:20). This event is said to have occurred on the 9th of Av. God pronounced judgment on the nation at that time. And this date is said to be a reminder of nation Israel’s lack of faith in God.

Here is a list of Jewish history on the 9th of Av.

  1. 586 BC, the first Temple was destroyed.
  2. 70 AD, the second Temple was destroyed.
  3. 135 AD, Betar fell. It was the last fortress to hold out against the Romans during the Bar Kochba revolt.
  4. 136 AD, one year after the fall of Betar, the Temple area was plowed.
  5. 1290 AD, Jews were expelled from England.
  6. 1492 AD, King Ferdinand of Spain issued the expulsion decree, setting Tisha B’Av as the final date by which not a single Jew would be allowed to walk on Spanish soil.
  7. 1914 AD, World War I began the downward slide to the Holocaust.
  8. 2005 AD, Israel turns over the Gaza Strip.

Jesus prophesied there would be a third temple. There has to be a third temple. The antichrist will stand there and declare himself to be God.

This Week in Prophecy: CBS & Red Heifers, Crocus Hall, Putin Re Elected, Sea Security Belt

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Ezekiel 38-39, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 24, 2024 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:5-6 And the heifer shall be burned in his sight. Its skin, its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall be burned. And the priest shall take cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn, and throw them into the fire burning the heifer.

Since when does CBS care about the Bible, specifically Numbers 19 and what it has to say about a red heifer? All credit to CBS and Chris Livesay, they actually did a pretty decent job with the coverage and overview of the situation. CBS presented a 5 minute story on CBS Saturday Morning.

CBS also accurately pointed out comments from Hamas and their justification for their actions into Israel on October 7, 2023.

“We look back 100 days to remember the educated, the complicit, and the incapacitated among the world powers governed by the law of the jungle, reminding them of an aggression that reached its peak against our path (Al-Quds) and Al-Aqsa, with the start of its actual temporal and spatial division, and the ‘bringing of red cows’ as an application of a detestable religious myth designed for aggression against the feelings of an entire nation in the heart of its Arab identity, and the path of its prophet (the Night Journey) and Ascension to heaven.” -Abu Obeida, Military Spokesman, Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas

The CBS article looks at many different perspectives on the issue including a Christian perspective. Granted, not all Christians are going to agree with the position CBS chose to represent on the topic of the red heifer sacrifice and its necessity.

“We’re going to accept the Messiah, and we need the Messiah to come,” Byron Stinson, a Texan who helped bring the cows to Israel, said at the gathering. “For me, the red heifer is red for the blood of Jesus Christ. That’s why it’s red.”

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-war-hamas-red-heifers-from-texas-jerusalem-jewish-temple-al-aqsa

Remember about five years ago in 2019, the Temple Institute practiced the sacrificial burning process for the red heifer.

As best as can be understood, of the five red heifers delivered to Israel from Texas, four appear to remain as possible candidates.

The sacrifice has to happen before the Third Temple can be rebuilt. There has to be a Third Temple for the antichrist to defile. Jesus said and quoted Daniel. The Apostle Paul confirms it.

Keep your eyes on Passover this year. The appointment begins at sun set on Monday, April 22nd, 2024 on our western Gregorian calendar. Speculation is running high there could be a Red Heifer Sacrifice.

2 Peter 3:12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

We have years of articles regarding the Red Heifer. Click on the link below for the recent journey and prophetic implications of the Red Heifer. https://paulthepoke.com/?s=red+heifer

Per oral traditions as related by the Temple Institute, a heifer is at least 3 or 4 years old. So the earliest, said red heifer could be sacrificed would be 14 months from now??? That roughly would give us a target of September 2024 for the earliest sacrifice. Rosh Hashanah 5785/2024 begins at sunset Wednesday, October 2nd.

Tisha B`Av/9th of Av, 5783/2023

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on July 23, 2023 by paulthepoke

Tisha B`Av or the 9th of Av…

Av is a Hebrew month. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. It usually occurs during July or August on the Gregorian calendar. This year, the 9th of Av is observed on sundown of Wednesday, July 27th and ends at sundown on Thursday, July 28th, 5783/2023. The month of Av is not named in the Bible.

Historically, the date has resulted in heartache for the Jewish people. Here is a list of Jewish history on the 9th of Av/Tisha B `Av.

  1. 586 BC, the first Temple was destroyed.

  5. 1290 AD, Jews were expelled from England.

Every time there is talk of the third temple, there is a population of believers in Jesus Christ who accurately point out that believers in Christ are the temple. There are multiple verses that support this truth. Yes, this is true. Settled.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

See also 1 Corinthians 6:15-20, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Ephesians 2:19-22, 1 Peter 2:5.

And…

Jesus prophesied there would be a third temple. The antichrist will stand there and declare himself to be God.

Mark 13:14 “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” -Jesus

See also Matthew 24:15-25, Luke 21:20-24.

Currently, there are five red heifers under observation. The sacrifice of a red heifer is coming.

And…

Also correct, there is no more need for the sacrificial system. Jesus is the sacrifice for sin once and for all.

Hebrews 9:11-14 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things having come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hands, that is, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all time having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

The third temple will be built. The Word of God, the Logos, the HaShem says.

And…

Hebrews 9:28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

This Week in Prophecy: Red Heifer, Euphrates River, Kerch Bridge & Uranium

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Euphrates River, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on July 19, 2023 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

Red Heifer Update: Visitors are travelling to the ancient land of Samaria, specifically Shiloh, to visit a red heifer. This is in the heart of what the world calls the “Occupied West Bank”, a future Palestine.

The heifer is 22 month’s old. Within the month, two more red heifers are coming.

“This is an exciting and exceptional event for the entire Jewish people. We are already in touch with researchers and promoters around the world who are waiting to come here with large groups. We have returned to the site of the Tabernacle in Shiloh and are bringing back the Jewish past for the future of our people.” -Ancient Shiloh CEO Coby Mamo

“The Ancient Shiloh site is continuing to grow and develop, and the Red Heifer Center will attract more visitors, up to one million a year, from Israel and around the world… good news for the Jewish world, for scientists and researchers, and for everyone.” Binyamin Regional Council Head, Israel Ganz

https://www.israel365news.com/373584/biblical-red-heifer-could-bring-million-visitors-to-samaria/

Per oral traditions as related by the Temple Institute, a heifer is at least 3 or 4 years old. So the earliest, said red heifer could be sacrificed would be 14 months from now. That roughly would give us a target of September 2024 for the earliest sacrifice. Rosh Hashanah 5785/2024 begins at sunset Wednesday, October 2nd.

Considering the rabbis at the Temple Institute will be carrying out activities related to the red heifer, here is a link to their information as it relates to the red heifer.

Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.

The Euphrates River is a major source of water in ancient Babylon or what is modern day Iraq. In reference to the waters of the Babylonians in Jeremiah 50

Jeremiah 50:38 A drought against her waters, that they may be dried up! For it is a land of images, and they are mad over idols.

Secular press outlets across the world are noting the drying of the Euphrates Rivers. Thankfully, we have these media sources to set the record straight. The God of the Bible is not the reason the river is drying. And Divine judgment and intervention are not the reasons.

“Some people have argued that the drying up of the Euphrates River is a sign of divine punishment. This argument is based on the fact that the Euphrates River is mentioned in the Bible and the Quran as a symbol of fertility and abundance. Some people believe that the drying up of the river is a sign that God is angry with the people who live in the region. There is no evidence to support this claim. The drying up of the Euphrates River results from human activities, not divine punishment. It is important to remember that God’s anger does not cause natural disasters. They are simply the result of the natural world interacting with human activities.” Hemathi Ranasinghe, Professor of Environmental Science, Jayawardenepura University of Sri Lanka.

The professor believes the causes are climate change, regional conflict, ISIS, dams and power plants, socio-economic and environmental issues.

“The Euphrates River is also heavily polluted, due to agricultural runoff, industrial waste, and sewage. This pollution is harming the river’s ecosystem and making it unsafe for human use.” -Hemathi Ranasinghe

Religious beliefs and practices are not factors says the professor.

Magog’s Rough Week

There has been a “major” accident at the world’s largest Uranium enrichment plant. The plant is located in Novouralsk, Russia. The Ural Electrochemical Combine is located east of the Ural Mountains.

Workers were evacuated from the plant. However, if you live in the area, the “accident” poses no threat to your health. Radioactive leakage has been denied. We are told the factory is working normally.

“There is no danger of any kind for residents of the city of Novouralsk or the staff of the plant.” -Yuri Mineyev, Deputy Production Manager.

 “…does not pose a radiation hazard, its radioactivity is less than that of natural uranium.” -Russians

Another attack has occurred on the Crimean or Kerch Bridge. A section of the auto bridge has been destroyed. A Ukrainian drone attack is believed to be the cause.

It is suspected by Russia that the UK and the United States may have assisted with intelligence and possible equipment.

“We know very well how deep the coordination is between the Kyiv regime, Washington, a number of European capitals and NATO. We know perfectly well how much information comes from NATO and Washington to Kyiv on a permanent basis. Therefore, we have no illusions here.” -Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin Spokesman

And if the Brits helped, then the London Bridge is a legitimate target.

“Does this make Tower Bridge a legitimate target? For me, that’s quite it.” -Margaret Simonyan, RT

Russia has withdrawn from the Black Sea Grain Deal. The price of wheat spiked on the news.

“More than half of the 33 million metric tons of grain and foodstuffs that have been shipped through the initiative have gone to developing countries, including some of the most food insecure regions of the globe. There’s no possible way, just mathematically, we’re going to get as much grain out now as we were going to be able to get out through the grain deal if it had been extended.” -John Kirby, US National Security Council
