THE FIRES burning around Los Angeles have led to conspiracy theories speculating on the cause. It’s really this simple: Poor management of resources in an area that was prone to wildfires long before white settlers began building cities there.

Meanwhile, the conflict for control of Syria as a key route for natural gas pipelines flared up again in December. On the one side is the Sunni pipeline, backed by the US, routing gas from the Persian Gulf through Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, and Türkiye to Europe; on the other, the Shia pipeline, backed by Russia, taking gas from Iran through Iraq to Syria, and then by tanker to Europe.

While this unfolds, Jewish Press reports that Egypt is preparing for war with Israel, constructing concrete barriers in the Sinai and building tunnels and bridges to carry troops quickly across the Suez Canal. 

We also discuss the three blood moons coming in the next 14 months. Two of them fall directly on Purim, the Jewish celebration of their rescue from Haman by Esther, queen to the Persian King Artaxerxes. Are these signs in the heavens significant given the recent conflict between Iran and Israel? We don’t know, but time will tell.
