Christian Persecution Escalates

Watchdog organization Open Doors USA reports that the number of Christians killed for their faith rose by a stunning 60 percent in the last year and the trend is projected to increase in future years.

Most of the murders occurred in Africa, where 300 Christians were killed in Nigeria and thousands were forced to leave their homes. Elsewhere in the country, nearly 2,000 people were hacked to death or shot since January 2020, as a way to drive them off their farmland. And in December 2020, federal troops in Ethiopia forced Christians from the Ark of the Covenant church, marched them into a square and opened fire, killing 750. And these sinister acts are also common in many other areas throughout Asia, such as India and especially China, under the reign of Xi Jinping.

Says Brian Wilson of the Red Pilled Channel, “Just as Christians were ruthlessly persecuted in the centuries following the death and resurrection of Christ, it seems this new millennium has a similar intolerance for those who choose to follow his righteous life.” Wilson breaks down more cases of Christian persecution around the world and wonders what the coming years could have in store for those who follow Christ.

ICE Abolished In All But Name

An ICE official says that fake President Biden has abolished the agency in everything but name. The anonymous official told the Washington Post, “They’ve abolished ICE without abolishing ICE.” He added the pendulum swing is so severe that the agency has gone from enforcing immigration laws to enforcing nothing.

The writing was on the wall immediately after Biden’s inauguration, when he ordered ICE to release all illegal alien detainees, most of them convicted felons. Many of the illegals are being released into Democrat sanctuary cities. Martin Brodel gives his take on the issue and also talks about the role Dr. Anthony Fauci played in the fake coronavirus, the danger of COVID vaccines and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumpka’s displeasure with the Keystone Pipeline shutdown.

 

 

Mouthy Maxine’s Insane Drivel

Every once in a while you read a headline that’s so insane, ludicrous and preposterous, you automatically think fake news. Well, it was showtime recently, starring Big Mouth Maxine Waters.

The Congresswoman launched a hyperbolic rant against President Trump, suggesting that he should face charges for premeditated murder on the basis that the speech he gave on Capitol Hill led to the riot and the eventual deaths of two people. For any of you who believe in the absurdity of this claim, Viva Frei’s David Freiheit explains from a legal perspective.

Arrested For A Meme

As if we haven’t had enough chaos on social media, news is surfacing that an “influencer” on Twitter has been arrested for a meme he created in the U.S. So are these charges bogus under the protection of the 1st Amendment or did he cross the line?

Douglas Massey, aka Douglas Mackey and Ricky Vaughn, has officially been arrested for memes he prepared in the context of the 2016 Presidential election on the basis that they interfered with the election process. Twitter subsequently suspended Mackey’s account, which had 58,000 followers, in addition to two more that he attempted create under different aliases. The complaint and affidavit in support of an arrest warrant only took issue with the memes where Massey was telling people to vote by text on social media on unlawful and invalid manners that would disenfranchise people of the right to vote if they would have voted that way.

Says Viva Frei’s David Freiheit, “The case really does highlight the distinction between free speech and protected speech. I’m an unapologetic believer in freedom of speech, but I do draw the line at certain types of speech, such as targeted harassment, death threats, doxing, etc.” Here’s more from Freitheit as he analyzes the complaint, with some help from colleague Nate the Lawyer.

Trump Took Huge Financial Hit

If you had any doubts that President Trump sacrificed his personal life for the good of the nation, think again. Not only did Trump work for free, donating his $400,000 yearly salary to charity and government programs, his personal wealth took a major hit.

Like many American business owners in COVID America, Trump’s business empire suffered huge financial losses, but we’re just now getting to understand the scope of the setback following financial disclosure forms he filed before leaving office. As the pandemic forced numerous closures and kept customers home, Trump’s hotels, resorts and other properties suffered a whopping $120 million loss in the past year. His high-end properties alone were hit the hardest where he least could afford it. Trump Hotel International Hotel in Washington, D.C., which has an outstanding loan of $170 million, absorbed a revenue drop of more than 60 percent, while his Doral Resort in Miami saw a 44 percent dip.

And rest assured that the Left is primed to inflict more pain on Trump. Says Martin Brodel, “They’re going to keep going after him. When does the insanity stop.” Brodel also reports on the Democrat Party’s new laws on terror, shutting down the Keystone XL Pipeline and Dr. Anthony Fauci on masks and vaccinations.

Farmer Bill To The Rescue

Bill Gates of Microsoft fame has reached another, most unusual, plateau in his long-standing career. Gates, the fourth richest person on the planet, is now the top private farmland owner in America, after snatching up 242,000 acres across the country in the last few years.

His largest holdings are in Louisiana (69,071 acres), Arkansas (47,927 acres) and Nebraska (20,588). In addition, he has a stake of 25,750 acres of transitional land just west of downtown Phoenix, which he hopes to develop into a suburb. So why all the farmland? Could it be Gates has a sinister plan to disrupt and control the world’s food supply? You need only look at his past ventures when he attempted to monopolize food companies in the past with Monsanto and the big-grain industries and, of course, his domination of the computer industry and, most recently, his work with vaccines.

Perhaps the most perplexing of Gates’ moves, was when he negotiated a $100 million contact tracing deal with a Democrat Congressman long before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. In the iconic words of German soldier Wolfgang on the popular 1970s variety show “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in” –Very interesting! Here’s World Alternative Media’s Josh Sigurdson with more details.

Webb: Pelosi Has The Laptops

Crooked Nancy Pelosi is up to her dirty tricks again. Investigative journalist George Webb tweets that it was Pelosi’s cohorts who confiscated the election operations laptops from the House chamber and not the good guys, using the tragic shooting of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt as a diversion. It was widely reported on alternative media that the staged assault on Capitol Hill by members of Antifa was infiltrated by military special forces, who were tasked with rounding up the information-rich laptops.

Webb says that Babbitt, who was gunned down by Capitol police, was flanked by a Senate aide and two officers carrying rifles. The officers had their guns pointed at the police inside the chamber as all four approached the entrance, where Babbitt attempted to climb in through a broken window in the door when she was shot. Webb says, “Guards don’t usually help people climb into the Senate (actually the House). And the officers next to her, they’re usually on the other side. They’re pointing guns to people inside the Senate (House) and that doesn’t make any sense, either.”

Check out Webb’s full tweet and the attached video.

 

History Of Our Calendar

January 1 wasn’t always recognized as the first day of the year, even here in the United States. In a sense, every day could be seen as the beginning of the new year, in that each day occurs about 365 days after the same day the previous year.

Even though we got to the point where we agree what day it is, many countries still choose to celebrate the new year based on a different calendar. For instance, most nations follow the Gregorian calendar, while China opts to count its days on the lunar calendar.

So how did we come to adopt January 1 as the beginning of the year? The History Guy explains.

John Lennon And The NYC UFO

At 9 a.m. on Aug. 23, 1974, rock legend John Lennon witnessed a UFO hovering just below the New York City skyline. Viewing the scene stark naked from his apartment building, Lennon swears it wasn’t a helicopter nor a balloon. This hidden gem occurred during the former Beatles star’s now infamous lost weekend, an 18-month period of sheer rock ‘n roll madness and self-destruction, but also a dose of enlightenment ordered by his wife, Yoko Ono.

During this period, Lennon produced three albums, including the iconic “Mind Games,” where on the cover in the bottom left-hand corner, is the inscription: “On the 23 Aug. 1974 at 9 o’clock I saw a U.F.O.–J.L.” The following clip includes raw footage of an interview with Lennon regarding the UFO, where he’s asked if he reported the incident to the authorities. “I didn’t, because Lennon sees UFO … that’s enough to get me kicked out. It’ sad enough as it is.” He says that a friend called the newspapers and authorities and asked if anyone else had seen the object and, sure enough, there were others. Here’s more with Lennon in this “Light Up the Dark” feature from The Lost History Channel TKTC.

Fauci Criticized For Flip-Flop

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s flip-flop on school closings has drawn some sharp criticism from the GOP, the most vocal from Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. Fauci, who adamantly called for school closings six months ago despite evidence to the contrary, now says children should be let into the classroom, but keep all bars closed.

Paul pointed out that the indecisive nature of Fauci’s flip-flop illustrates the danger in centralizing power and decision-making in one person in Washington. “When one person is so wrong, it has grave effects for millions of school children,” Paul says. He added that the evidence has been clear for six months that schools do not lead to a surge and that kids are poor transmitters of the coronavirus.

Paul joins Fox News anchor Sandra Smith to discuss Fauci’s flip-flop and gives his take on the ineffectiveness of wearing masks.
