Our very good friend and colleague Lee Penn has died

 Rich Peterson and I enjoyed a wonderful friendship and information exchange relationship with brilliant author and business consultant, Lee Penn.  Rich called me this morning with sad news that Lee died a week ago.  He learned of it from Lee's sister posting to Lee's Facebook page.  Dorothy Margraf over the years had enjoyed a good working relationship with Lee as well.

Lee wrote many wonderful articles about the New Age Movement in a variety of publications, including Spiritual Counterfeit Project and New Oxford Review.

Lee told me he had once been a Marxist and an atheist.  He had a wonderful conversion to Christianity and used his immense talents to do God's work.  His leading book, FALSE DAWN is nearly encyclopedic in the scope of his coverage on various New Age personalities such as Barbara Marx Hubbard and the United Religions Initiative.

The last time I talked at length with Lee was during the time I became ill for a protracted period myself.  I'm still not fully out of the woods on that score.  Lee had suffered from debilitating effects, as I recall, of Cerebral Palsy.  Nevertheless, although his body was weakened his mind remained very sharp.

Lee was brilliant and very highly educated.  He graduated cum laude from Harvard in 1976.  Thereafter, he received master's degrees in busines and  public health from the University of California (Berkeley) in 1986.   He was listed in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World.  

From his Author's Biography, I will shamelessly cut and paste:

Lee Penn is a health care information systems consultant and a journalist. He received a BA cum laude from Harvard in 1976, and master's degrees in business and in public health from the University of California at Berkeley in 1986. Since then, he has worked in finance and health care information systems - mostly as a consultant, assisting hospitals, health maintenance
organizations, and other health care providers with automation and business planning. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa as an undergraduate, and is listed in Who's Who in America (56th-59th editions) and Who's Who in the World (20th-22nd editions). He is a member of the American College of Health Care Executives and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

As a journalist, he has written about the United Religions Initiative, cults, and the New Age movement since 1998, and has been published in various confessions' orthodox and conservative magazines: 

• The Christian Challenge (Anglican) — 19 by-lined stories from 1999 through 2004 on the URI, the New Age movement in the Episcopal Church, Anglican/Catholic relations, and pro-life issues.

• Foundations (Anglican) — 2 articles on the URI: “The Globalism Blues” (September 1999) and “Amen, Swami: The URI Gets a Charter, But Not a Whole Lot Else” (August 2000).

• HLI Reports (Human Life International, a Catholic pro-life organization) — “The Case Against the United Reli­gions Initiative,” February 2001.

• New Oxford Review (Catholic) — 4 feature stories between 1998 and 2000, including “The United Religions Initiative: A Bridge Back to Gnosticism” (December 1998) and “Beware! The New Age Movement is More Than Self-Indulgent Silliness” (July/August 2000).

• The Journal of the Spiritual Counterfeits Project (SCP), a front-line Reformed/Evangelical Protestant ministry whose mission is "confronting the occult, the cults, and the New Age movement." He has had 10 feature articles in the Journal since 1999: a 4-part series on the URI, globalism, and the New Age movement, a science fiction story ("The World Church of 2017"), a 3-part series on the history and beliefs of mainstream and fringe Freemasonry, and - in 2004 - a 2-part series on the emerging police state. In addition, Penn co-authored "Neale Donald Walsch: Conversations With Myself " with Tal Brooke, the President of SCP. In 2004, this article won a "First Place" award in the "Critical Review" category from the Evangelical Press Association. (There were 500 contestants for this award.)

• World Net Daily (secular conservative) — Co-author, with SCP’s Tal Brooke, of 2 articles in 2002: “How the State Confiscates Rights” (February 27, 2002) and “State Surveillance: Abolishing Freedom” (March 25, 2002).

 The Wanderer (Catholic) — Paul Likoudis’ “United Religious Initiative Launched in Pittsburgh” (July 6, 2000) quoted extensively from my articles, as did several “From the Mail” columns: “Unscrambling the Labyrinth” (July 8, 1999), “The Transforming Power of the Labyrinth” (March 1, 2001), “The Endless Labyrinth” (April 12, 2001), and “Mapping the Scandals” (June 6, 2002).

• Touchstone (orthodox Christian, from all confessions) — “Midwives of a Common God: The Myriad Friends of the United Religions Initiative” (June 2000).

• The Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, which acts as a pro-life advocate to the UN and other inter­national bodies, published “The United Religions Initiative: An Organization Seeking to Undermine Traditional Religious Faith and Evangelization,” in February 2005.

With this book, Penn hopes to speak to a wider audience, to liberals as well as to conservatives, since the current and pending threats to liberty and to traditional religious belief come from both political extremes. 

Lee Penn was raised as an Episcopalian, but became atheist while in college. After a six-year detour into Marxism (as a member of the New American Movement, a "democratic-socialist" descendant of the Students for a Democratic Society), he returned to Christ in 1978. From 1979 to 1983, he was a member of a Methodist congregation in Oregon; from 1983 to 1995, he was an active member of the Episcopal Church in Bishop Swing's diocese, including serving on a San Francisco parish's Vestry, heading its Finance Committee, and participating in its Search Committee for a new rector in 1994.

Lee Penn left the Episcopal Church in 1995 - pushed away by Bishop Swing's establishment of the United Religions Initiative, Swing's 1994 acceptance of Matthew Fox as an Episcopal priest, and the pro-abortion stance of the Episcopal Church. The last straw was when they started calling God "she" at Penn's Episcopal parish; by the next Sunday, Lee was seeking a new spiritual home, and began by worshiping at a Russian Orthodox parish. That year, he explored Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy - and was received into an Eastern Catholic parish that is in communion with Rome but worships, fasts, feasts, and prays in the Eastern Orthodox fashion. Lee's spiritual home since 1995 has been the Christian East. He says that his "history is evidence that God is merciful to sinners, and shows that the writer of 'Amazing Grace' was telling the truth."

Lee is certainly missed here, but I am looking forward to seeing him THERE!

to 9:06 AM - I almost deleted your comment. The Breitbart link you gave did not work. I was very disgusted at the tone -- this post was a memorial to our dear friend Lee Penn and I found your comment, its tenor very disrespectful of him and his family's feelings.

Interesting thing about Breitbart -- it was founded by Arianna Huffington, a minister in John Rogers' very New Age cult -- MSIA - Movement for Inner Spiritual Awareness. Arianna Huffington is the former Arianna Stassinopolous and originally hails from Greece. She is unquestionably a brilliant writer, but also a New Age idealogue. I have been telling many of you in vain that the New Agers work both sides against the middle. I referenced some of Bannon's New Age roots and sympathies in my last blog article, which you may freely read. Here is a Los Angeles Times article spelling out some of the interesting links. Ever wonder why you hear little or nothing about the New Age Movement from the Drudge Report. This may tell you why!

Constance re your 11:59 PM criticism of 10:46 PM,

With respect, you've lost your objectivity. Neither the GP article nor the source from which the bulk of the material was taken even mention Epps' name AT ALL.

Now, I will readily admit that both sources make speculations that go beyond the facts presented, but to categorically dismiss without even a cursory reading is, frankly, "taking liberties with veracity" (to quote Ben Carson).

I've stated before, and I'll state it again: As far as I know, NOT ONE commentator here ever claimed that Epps 'orchestrated everything'. That's a straw man you erected to categorically dismiss others' views with which you disagree. And that's quite unfair and uncharacteristic of your previous work.

You and your kin seem to suggest that Epps was a MAJOR source behind the capitol riot/insurrection or whatever you want to call it. Are you now suggesting the equally ridiculous assertion that Epps was BLM or ANTIFA? That was the original lie the MAGA forces asserted vis a vis January 6 Capitol insurrection. That so many in the Christian community willingly lied for Trump on that score, I find disturbing.

I was trying to create a Blogger ID but ran into some difficulties. For now I'll keep commenting as J.

Constance 12:10 AM,

Yes, months and months ago, I posted comments about the Academy of Divine Knowledge. It may have even been a year or two ago. I can't even remember now.

I did further research, beyond that, to note how many members of the Academy of Divine Knowledge were Scientologists or former Scientologists.

Since this is a blog about discernment of New Age influence, I don't find it inappropriate to consider the source and note New Ager involvement in any source.

Now, does it prove that COVID vaccines must be trustworthy, because a New Age organization opposes them? I don't think it necessarily does.

Here, too, it may be a case of playing both sides against the middle.

I believe in appealing to facts. I know that you, as a lawyer, don't see anything non-Christian about contending about the facts and the evidence, including those that come from science.

I know since you recommended the site, In Plain Site, you will likely agree with its author who wrote a little bit about this subject on the page, "Contending for the Faith."

http://www.inplainsite.org/html/contending_for_the_faith.html

J said...

I don't think science is bad, and I don't think inductive reasoning is bad. I don't think debate is bad if it is iron sharpening iron and not just egotistical quarreling.

God created the world that is studied by scientists, and the fact that most scientists are not conservative Christians, does not mean anything ... other than the fact that the vast majority conservative Christians are not very good at all at communicating with scientists, and that is an understatement.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if most blog commenters are not interested at all in converting any scientists and are just happy to wait in anticipating for scientists to be tortured in the tribulation. I hope I'm wrong. I honestly hope so.

But that is not my view. I've tried to follow the science about vaccines, although I think it's a distraction from the blog subject, and I don't want to constantly obsess about it in the comments section.

I wish I had been met with more curiosity when I researched the Academy of Divine Knowledge months and months ago. I felt as if I was met with no great enthusiasm or curiosity to share information about it.

Maybe if you lead the way consistently, more researcher types will be attracted back to your blog. I will need to be turning to other claims on my time for a while.

I know I'm unpredictable and you may not trust me. I know I'm hard to put in a box. I think that could be why you don't respond to my comments anymore. I really do mean well.

J said...

12:29 PM,

When I read your comments, I usually think to myself, "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord."

I just watched The Hobbit cartoon with my son recently. Now when I see your lyrics, I think of the goblins singing in The Hobbit cartoon.

Several times I've wanted to say to you to look out for Sting, but then I've thought once again, "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord."

I will not be reading your comments for the new few months, as I take my break and focus on other time claims, so that's one thing to look forward to.

Bye, Goblin.

Perhaps the Lord will one day surprise and allow YOU to be 'mugged' by reality.

J,

When 1:51pm says "Mugged" by Reality" - he wishfully praying the Lord will open your eyes and allegiance to his 'tribe' by way of a violent attack by a person of color or, immigrant ('other') upon you or someone you love as though it's to be expected of "them" and bring you into compliance with team white.

Once a neoconservative quip with a hint of racism has now by entirely co-opted by the White Nationalists as a dog whistle of the black/other brutish caricature.

As Voddie Baucham once preached, God doesn't love you any less because he gave you less melanin than him.

p.s. - or it's just another Russian pedo & troll promoting chaos, hatred and contentiousness into a Christian blog. I just thought I'd look around on the meaning of "'mugged' by reality" a bit. Otherwise pay no attention to the Luciferian.

Klaus Schwab & George Soros suddenly pull out of World Economic Forum's annual summit in Davos, Switzerland

Globalist billionaires Klaus Schwab and George Soros have both made last-minute announcements that they won’t be attending the World Economic Forum’s annual summit in Davos, Switzerland. The Davos summit has drawn the ire of people all over the globe in recent years, as mankind has rapidly awoken to the WEF’s anti-human agenda, which includes population control and a fascistic merger of globalist corporations and international governments, like the Chinese Communist Party.

UPDATE: Klaus Schwab Shows Up 8 Hours Late to Davos – Soros and Biden are No-Shows

According to public statements from both Klaus Schwab, the founder and head of the World Economic Forum, as well as his close ally George Soros, the “Open Societies” globalist at the center of Ukraine’s 2014 government overthrow, neither man will be in attendance as the World Economic Forum convenes in Davos, a resort town in the Swiss Alps.

The Russian troll at 3:05pm said: "....George Soros, the “Open Societies” globalist at the center of Ukraine’s 2014 government overthrow"...

How could a then 84-year-old man living in New York who'd long donated billions to his foundation that primarily supports other charitable organizations and progressive political works/campaigns around the globe somehow be the "globalist at the center" of events in 2014 Ukraine which removed corrupt and facsist-leaning Putin-loving puppets. If he did it...isn't that a good thing? However, common sense says you just can't BUY a 'revolution' for about $7 million/year and just 60 employees so how and why does anyone off the cuff claim he is/was some kind of "central figure".

I'm not defending Soros. I don't know Soros. He's not a Christian nor is he a missionary of any kind so I'm sure some of his charitable undertakings wouldn't be my choice or liking. I just don't see him as "the" boogey-man that everyone on the hard right seems to portray him as. I was just questioning how these outrageous obviously false memes and red herrings came to be.


Open Soceitis website indictes the following:

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has thrust Open Society’s Kyiv-based International Renaissance Foundation (IRF) onto the frontlines of the country’s struggle for survival. As the largest independent funder of Ukraine’s vibrant array of civil society and citizen’s groups for more than three decades, IRF was immediately engaged in the vast emergency response to the Russian assault. Its evolving work has included: supporting the evacuation and relocation of civilians; funding efforts to deliver emergency medical supplies and to protect emergency personnel; backing efforts to protect independent journalists and media; and supporting investigations of war crimes committed during the conflict.

In addition to expanding its direct funding of IRF, Open Society has also launched the Ukraine Democracy Fund. With an initial $25 million from Open Society, the fund seeks to raise $100 million with other independent funders to support and protect human rights organizations, independent journalists, and other civil society groups.

Open Society has contributed over $230 million in grants to Ukraine, benefiting millions of people—including more project funding over the past decade than to any other country in Europe.

Nine Facts About the International Renaissance Foundation
The foundation was established in Kyiv in April 1990, shortly before Ukraine became independent from the Soviet Union in August 1991. Prior to the 2022 Russian invasion, IRF had satellite offices in Odessa, Kharkiv, Lviv, and Dnipro, and employed more than 60 people.

The foundation supported civil society advocacy for Ukraine’s 2014 Association Agreement with the European Union, and subsequently for the 2017 agreement providing visa-free travel for Ukrainians across the 26 countries of the European Schengen Area.

Why do these stories always overlook the fact that Soros, Trump, and Kushner are business partners?

Anonymous said...

7:43 pm

Exactly --- Kushner failed to disclosed his partnership with Soros in Cadre.

Also overlooked...Viktor Orban got a scholarship to study at Oxford from Soros.

From the previously linked article:

Orbán had even received money from Soros: During his time in the opposition, his small underground foundation Századvég published critical newspapers, created on a copy machine that was paid for by Soros. Orbán was also one of the more than 15,000 students who received scholarships from Soros’s Open Society Foundations. Thanks to Soros, Orbán studied philosophy in Oxford. The two men only met once: when Soros came to Hungary in 2010 after a toxic spill to provide $1 million in emergency funds.

The Soros meme is as empty as the Gates meme and/or the meaningless "communist" and the pejorative "liberal" labels.

Fortunately for Republicans -- they've deliberately killed the education system in so many red states that there should be a steady stream of uneducated resentful adults ready to buy whatever the next 'new age' fear-mongering Luciferian hate campaign slogans and memes targeting and blaming the "others" that they just fine-tune, rebrand and continue or come up with next.

p.s.- Soros is probably a new ager himself. My wife says he's bi-polar. I'm not vouching for the guy. I just don't fear him. He's just a man. Another lost man.

Constance,

Re your 10:23 AM comment, though not addressed explicitly to me, I’m assuming you were responding to my earlier 7:10 AM comment. That said, let me just cut and paste from what I wrote in the previous thread re Epps (first four paragraphs below, though bracketed comment added):

I have never said Trump bears no responsibility. At minimum, he should have pleaded with rioters to go home—and much sooner. I have also never said those who breached the Capitol, etc. bear no personal responsibility. Each person is individually culpable for his/her own actions. That’s not to say there weren’t some really odd things that occurred there that day that could have fueled the outcome (why no extra LEO; who opened the doors?).

Something is definitely amiss with the handling of Epps. To deny that is to deny the reality of the evidence. The J6 Committee not only overlooked evidence that conflicted with his testimony (chronology, e.g.), they gave him preferential treatment. J6 ran cover for him (re “I orchestrated it”) in the form of ‘leading the witness’ during his testimony, such that he was able to essentially self-exonerate—though an adequate cross-examination would have exposed this ploy.

In the face of public scrutiny of events surrounding him and reactions to them, portions of the legacy media ran cover for Epps. Some politicians [e.g. Raskin, who ‘protesteth too much’] ran cover for him.

Two or more things can be true at once. This simple concept appears to elude not a few on this forum. Too many have difficulty perceiving false dichotomies.

Now let me add:

We KNOW the Steele dossier was baseless and should never have been used to obtain a FISA warrant to SPY ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. We KNOW that all the alphabet agencies FALSELY claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was ‘Russian dis/misinformation’, and we KNOW—via Twitter Files revelations—that anything to the contrary was actively suppressed for political purposes IN FAVOR OF BIDEN OVER AGAINST TRUMP during the 2020 campaign. So, why would it be a stretch to think there may have been, say, FBI-backed infiltrators/agents provocateur at the Jan 5/6 rallies?

Craig said...

Well, how interesting. After a long day at work (and posting the above comment) I go to YouTube, and this is the first video to catch my eye. Gaetz says here he is CERTAIN there were Fed operatives on the ground on J6, based on whistle blower testimony. AND Ray Epps is specifically mentioned:

Federal Agents Were On The Ground On January 6th, Gaetz Will Expose This

Tim to Gaetz: "And who is Ray Epps?"

Gaetz: "Ray Epps is the ONLY PERSON involved in January 6th that Kinzinger will continuously defend. Isn't that something."

Craig,

Of course there were FBI undercover agents and/or informants on the ground Jan 6th, 2021 because that's where the seditious criminals and other potential terrorists were.

Nearly a thousand now convicted felons were there.

Another ten thousand or so potential persons who engaged in felonious activities who will likely never be charged were present.

The identity of FBI agents and/or informants SHOULD remain a secret for their protection and the protection of any on-going investigations and threats. Such necessary uncover work, of course, leaves lots of room for conspiracy speculation by the like of entertainers like Tucker Carlson and the maga republicans.

The other implication...that any REAL FBI agents and/or informants behaved in any way similar to uncharged maga insurrectionist, Ray Epps, is not evidenced and, I'm guessing, never will be despite Fox News infotainment and/or child predator Matt Gaetz repeatedly saying otherwise.

Pointing out the absurdity of such unfounded feelings of "oddity", "something amiss", "doesn't line up" (even though it all does) and other unbiblical speculation is not, itself, odd and/or suggestive of a conspiracy itself. It's just nonsense. How would Kinsinger, Cheney and others (including even me) accused of overly defending Epps have knowledge of his activities that other republicans and the entertainment 'journalists' they report/leak to don't?

x

p.s.- Ray Epps is the George Soros of Jan 6th. All Gaetz has to do is get someone within the government somewhere to admit the obvious fact that there were FBI operatives (agents and/or informants) on the ground somewhere in and around the Trump speech and Capitol Building and the 'gotcha' political theatre will ensue. FBI agents/informants are just people. People with political opinions and capable of misguided unpatriotic ideologies as well. Any one of them could have, individually, got caught up in the day and had their own individual motivations for being there in and among the crowds. Finding FBI Waldo is still just subterfuge. The FBI didn't bring those criminals to DC...Trump and his criminal enterprise did.







Anonymous said...

Craig,

Further (upon watching Gaetz theatre you linked being interviewed by middle school dropout, Tim Poole)...when Matt Gaetz refers to the fact there were "federal officers" and "federal assets" on the ground Jan 6th, he could largely be talking about the Capitol Police and others who LARGELY bravely fought off the insurrectionists.

There were some Capitol Police out of fear, political sympathy and/or complicity were derelict of duty on Jan 6th. I think some were fired and some were reprimanded. Again...just people who are/were just as susceptible to the maga disinformation as anyone else.

Magnetic doors can be opened from the inside because people may need to escape in the event of a fire. A rogue Capitol Police officer may have opened one or more of them but I doubt it. The building was already infiltrated with terrorists by that time and I think there is video of the doors being opened by a guy that came through the windows?

Ray Epps, despite Gaetz's words, wasn't "at the center of everything". Epps Text at 2:12 pm is an excellent indicator he disengaged from the protest after the 1:40 pm incident with the metal trump sign incident he witnessed which occurred on the side of the Capitol just prior to the crowds on the front side counterclockwise from his position were infiltrating the scaffolding on their eventual way to the 2nd floor windows where they broke into the secured building. That break in happened at 2:11 pm while Epps was on his phone reading and tweeting to his nephew, presumably, away from "the center of everything".

Gaetz suggests Epps was treated disparently. The FBI/DOJ went to his home and questioned him just as they have many of the fools. Do you have examples of any cases treated differently than Ray Epps? Like I said on the other thread, hundreds of others 'touched' that metal sign as it went overhead and only 4 were charged with assaulting Capitol Police with it and all 4 had numerous other charges as well. Epps never went into the Capitol Building and, it appears, left the complex between 1:40-and 2:12 pm while probably every other felon that day didn't leave until much later.

I'm glad Gaetz wants to improve conditions at the DC Jail. A little self-serving though considering he may someday soon be an inmate. Political theater aside, I doubt Congressmen have the right to walk in and "inspect" federal assets at will. The DC jail has been complained about for decades. Perhaps locking up some white people will finally move the needle on improving conditions there.

x

p.s. - Epps did LEAVE the area of the first incidence he saw the legal protest getting out of hand and he circled around the side where he was seen again about 30-40 minutes later. He just didn't leave and disengage the protest until he REALLY started getting MASSIVELY out of hand at 1:40pm.

Attn: Craig

"President Joe Biden this week went off on one of his weirdest and most favorite stemwinders, claiming that American citizens who think they have hope of defending themselves from a potentially oppressive government better think again: “If you need to worry about taking on the federal government, you need some F-15s,” he said. “You don't need an AR-15.” He has said this before. This is a pretty disturbing remark from a chief executive, implying as it does both a potentially burgeoning federal tyranny and the willingness of federal soldiers to use fire-and-forget-its against American citizens. If he’s trying to calm us down it’s not working.

Still, just for curiosity’s sake, I’d really just like to know which of these visions of armed rebellion is the more accurate—the one where you can’t rebel against a tyrannical government unless you have an ample supply of F-22s and ASMs, or the one where you can nearly overthrow the U.S. government with nothing more than a broken flag pole and a can of bear mace. If it’s the former than clearly the Jan. 6 riot was never even remotely the “grave threat” we’ve been told it was; if it’s the latter then it’s actually way easier to insurrect this country than anyone ever thought possible. I don’t think it’s too much to ask that they nail this down for us!"

The aviation industry and unions are in constant debate and flux with federal airline codes and regulations, that, just a few years prior to covid, went through a significant regulatory re-write.

Changes to rules and regulations occur all the time and an adjustment to the rules to keep more pilots from getting grounded at a time when there is a pilot shortage due in some significant degree to such new regulations, isn't shocking or an indication of any real conspiracy.

Changes in the rules also doesn't indicate it is or was an actual huge problem. That said, it wouldn't be surprising considering the covid virus has been running through the populations for two years now and viral infections can and do have lingering effects on the heart muscle (long covid) which may or may not effect a pilots ability to handle a plane after recovering from any recent viral illness.

A higher PR value is a cause for concern to the individual pilot. The regulations are about who CAN fly, medically. It's a strange leap to think somehow all these super secret people who are PUBLICLY drafting these updated regulations know something sinister and are keeping some big governmental secret.

My "only explanation" would be Steve Kirsch has an ID-10-T problem.

Another fun fear-mongering new age divisive gateway pundit article.

I like how creepy homosexual clickbait generator Jim Hoft reframes the issue of providing access to feminine hygiene products in Minnesota schools to a transgender issue.

A GOP congressman in MN proposed an amendment to the bill asking that the feminine products only be placed in specifically female bathrooms which COULD be problematic as several/many/some school districts have moved to unisex bathrooms to completely avoid the whole gender issue (or to accommodate it -- whatever).

If you change the bill to ONLY female bathrooms then all student that menstrate throughout the state may not have equal access to such feminine products.

But this bill isn't about supplying transgenders tampons.
No one is suggesting non-menstruating biological males need feminine products....though if they happen to be poor I don't know what would stop them from taking some home to their menstruating mothers and sisters? I know...handouts are bad.

I agree the Democratic Congresswoman's statement "Second, not all students who menstruate are female" is contrary to science and appeasing to the gender confused. There is no evidence that every democrat feels the same nor that every republican disagrees (i.e. - Trump loves drag queens and gay pride). Personally, I think a more accurate statement could have been "Second, not all students who menstrate THINK they are female" which would takes into account the mental illness challenges and/or silly immature trend of a small minority of our youth to bend social norms, push boundaries and confuse/piss off their elders.

Pray for this kids versus gaslighting and scapegoating them for political theory.

X,

Oh, for sure there were FBI operatives at J6. I think that speculation is on very solid ground. But you must ask yourself why FBI whistle blowers came forward in relation to J6—as Gaetz relayed. It surely wasn’t to merely report the obvious, or there’d be no cause to call them “whistle blowers”, would there?

The first time I’d mentioned anything on this blog with respect to the former FBI man I met I relayed the following. When I asked him why he retired early he first provided a one word answer: politicization.

If any Agent or FBI-backed actor engaged in behavior at variance with what the Bureau stands for (or used to), then action needs to be taken against them. But, frankly, I don’t have any hopes for anything like that, given the recent past.

That’s sure a novel way to use “unbiblical speculation”. Now, I’ve seen the term used in contexts of, say, eschatological musings with no real basis in Scripture, but I’d never heard of this term in the novel manner in which you applied it. Give your implied meaning I cannot understand how you would be able see any such “unbiblical speculation” in others with that log cabin in your eye.

Sorry for your loss. In honor of your friendship, I spent some time the last couple days reading over at Lee Penn's website. Quite interesting. He basically wrote about MAGA in 2004 as the an anticipated counter-traditional spiritually inverted (anti-Gospel) movement.

Also...I had read one story of his before while researching Opus Dei...

The Perversions of ex-FBI Agent and Opus Dei Member - Robert Philip Hanssen and The Price to the Security of the United States of America...(and we worry about Muslim fanatics...)

by Lee Penn

http://www.mgr.org/ODRobertHanssenPerversion.html

Excerpt: Fourth, there is the case of Robert Philip Hanssen, a top-level FBI agent responsible for counterintelligence in the US, who spied for the Russians from 1979 until his arrest in February 2001.(1) He told the Soviets about four of their own intelligence staff who were spying for the US, interfered with the investigation of a Soviet spy in the US State Department, and gave the Communists “the plan of a program for the continuity of government in case of a Soviet nuclear attack and planned defense and retaliation.”(2) A biographer calls him “the most damaging spy in history.”(3) For his efforts, the KGB (and its successor agency, the FSB) gave Hanssen $1.4 million in cash and diamonds.

While betraying his country, Hanssen was a devoted member of Opus Dei.(4) With the Soviet money, Hanssen put his children through Opus Dei-approved private schools. According to one report, Hanssen believed that his children “might in the future be part of a holy war that would remerge God and country, whose leaders would then ban abortion, divorce and other evils of the world that he and Opus Dei opposed.”(5) He and his wife were public activists against abortion.(6) Meanwhile, he put sex stories about his wife on the alt.sex group on the Internet, “shared pornographic photos of his wife with his best friend, [and] secretly broadcast his sex acts over closed-circuit television to his guest room.”(7) He also spent $80,000 of Soviet-supplied cash on a two-year flirtation with a stripper – and justified himself by refraining from intercourse with her, and by trying to get her to attend church.(8)

When his wife confronted him in 1982 after she caught him in the basement counting out $20,000 in $100 bills,(9) she made him confess to an Opus Dei priest – Fr. Robert Bucciarelli, the former head of Opus Dei in the US. The priest told Hanssen to give the $20,000 that he had thus far received to Mother Teresa’s charities.(10) The rite of penance did not cause a change in Hanssen’s behavior; he continued to spy on the US throughout the Gorbachev era. Hanssen and Louis Freeh (head of the FBI from 1993 to 2001) attended the same church,(11) St. Catherine of Siena,(12) as have Justice Antonin Scalia and Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa).

I, likewise, don't have hope it will happen because I just don't believe it happened in the way being implied. However, a couple of rogue agents acting seditiously themselves (individually) or on behalf of some secretive group (something like "the family", "opus dei" or a new age cult such as Fulan Gong isn't completely beyond possibility.

How anti-vaxxers monetize misinformation:
Substack provides a lucrative opportunity for grifting.


https://derekberes.substack.com/p/how-anti-vaxxers-monetize-misinformation

Excerpt: Supplements and telehealth services are two popular anti-vax revenue streams. For example, The Wellness Company uses Peter McCullough’s megaphone to sell supplement subscriptions. Their persistent emails decry “Big Pharma” as the root of all evil while hawking $70 bottles of untested vitamins, using marketing copy like “inhibit spike viral effects” because they can’t outright say “buy this instead of getting a COVID vaccine.”

But the intention is clear.

Meanwhile, one of the main “frontline doctors,” Simone Gold, was recently released from prison (for being involved in the Jan 6 insurrection) to start up a “medical freedom” telehealth service after fleeing “communist” Beverly Hills for Naples, Florida. Considering she raked in millions from a similar service in 2021, this monetization move isn’t surprising.

How else might medical figures spread COVID misinformation for their own interests?

As it turns out: Substack.

...

I do, however, take great issue with monetizing misinformation. Putting people’s lives in danger while adding to the ever-increasing sense of paranoia around COVID conspiracies—and vaccine conspiracies in general—is not an admirable living. Sadly, a number of people are adding to their revenue streams by doing just that.

But as Substack’s politics leaderboard shows, four of the top 15 monetized Politics newsletters broker in anti-vax content. While Substack doesn’t list exact subscription numbers, their ballpark figures show that these figures make tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars per month by spreading anti-vax rhetoric.

Again, this is in the Politics category...

Persistent COVID-19 Symptoms at 6 Months After Onset and the Role of Vaccination Before or After SARS-CoV-2 Infection

January 18, 2023

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2800554

Key findings in Large Study:

Question: What factors are associated with persistent post–COVID-19 symptoms, and how do post–COVID-19 medical encounters change over time?

Findings: In this cohort study of 1832 US adults, the risk of reporting symptoms for 28 or more days after COVID-19 onset was significantly higher in participants who were unvaccinated at the time of infection and those who reported moderate or severe acute illness symptoms. At 6 months after onset, participants had significantly higher risk of pulmonary, diabetes, neurological, and mental health encounters vs preinfection baseline.

Meaning: The findings suggest that COVID-19 is associated with increased health care encounters through 6 months after infection; vaccination was associated with lower risk of long-term COVID-19 symptoms.


Excerpt: ...Among unvaccinated participants, postinfection vaccination was associated with a 41% lower risk of reporting symptoms at 6 months (RR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.40-0.89). Participants had higher risk of pulmonary (RR, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.40-2.84), diabetes (RR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.00-2.13), neurological (RR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.02-1.64), and mental health–related medical encounters (RR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.01-1.62) at 6 months after symptom onset than at baseline (before SARS-CoV-2 infection).

I agree NOW for most young healthy people the boosters aren't necessary (unless they do a better job of targeting current variants) but the numbers are in on the Covid Vaccines rounds 1, 2 and even 3 and the anti-vaxxer's speculations were vastly WRONG. Millions of lives were saved and millions more could have been saved had everyone, more largely, gotten on board.

You, assuming you qualified for vaccination, naively dodged a bullet skipping out. How prosperous you are.

p.s. - You don't even try to be convincing or persuasive. Covid 19...the virus itself... was and still is.... "making people ill and some die". That's not an argument, evidence or a debate. The virus has killed millions worldwide. There is no evidence even suggesting the vaccines "killed" anywhere near that number. I'm assuming you are over age 60 like everyone else here therefore the odds were never in your favor.

What's BlackRock doing at the WEF summit? We tried to find out

What's BlackRock doing at the WEF summit? We tried to find out

The hedge fund's CEO Larry Fink sits on the World Economic Forum's board of trustees, so we thought we could get some answers on what BlackRock is doing at this year's summit in Davos.

We're here in Davos, Switzerland, where the whole town has been transformed into a kind of Disneyland for billionaires and oligarchs. There are popup stores or pavilions set up throughout the resort town.

Behind me in today's report is the one for BlackRock. Now, BlackRock normally doesn't have this building here in Davos, it's just a temporary design for the enormous hedge fund — they have over $10 trillion worth of assets under management.

They're a massive company, and they've got both sides covered. They're into war, with investments in Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics. They're into peace afterwards, with investments in rebuilding countries that have been levelled.

BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink is on the World Economic Forum's board of trustees, so you can bet that the policies promulgated by the secretive conclave here in Davos do whatever is best for BlackRock's shareholders.

Larry Fink is a bit of an ideologue himself. You'd think a billionaire like him would be a turbo capitalist, but BlackRock is actually a major proponent of cultural Marxism.

Although they themselves, as I mentioned, are deeply invested in military companies, he promotes cultural Marxism and environmental extremism. Worse yet, he actually weaponizes the investments that he oversees.

It's amazing to me to see them at the World Economic Forum, which claims to be about doing good for the world.

We walked into BlackRock's pavilion, past the fleet of blacked out Mercedes-Benz SUVs parked out front, to see if they could answer any questions about what the company is doing in Davos. Despite the door being open and people coming and going, they told us it was a closed venue and kicked us out.

Despite asking some gentle questions, we couldn't get any answers. BlackRock is willing to put on a prepared presentation for you, but they won't answer any questions. Questions like, why should billionaires and oligarchs be developing policy — foreign, domestic, environmental, social policies — in secretive clubby meetings in Switzerland in some ski resort?

Who gave them a seat at the table? And when they talk about global citizenship, who died and made Larry Fink king? He's just a money manager, since when did we elect him to write policies under which we all have to live?

Listen, our Rebel team just arrived here in Davos. We'll be here all week, talking to the oligarchs if we can — I don't think we'll be given a lot of face time with them, we'll be given the bum's rush. But if we have a chance to buttonhole some important people, we'll do our best.

Craig,

The WEF doesn't "develop" or "make" policy...though I'm sure they'd like to, just as the Kochs and other right lunatics running their own think tanks and organizing protests, meetings, seminars in order to push their own political, business and ideological agendas. Further, there is no evidence Larry Fink (conveniently a Jew so naturally a target of white nationalist propagandists) promotes, let alone, "weaponizes" - "cultural marxism" or environmentalism. Certainly no more than Koch and others who appear to have convinced you any and all environmental protection policy is a lie.

It's almost humorous how this right winger tries to reframe acting on behalf of and in the best interest of shareholders as evil. I agree corporations are evil and shouldn't be treated as "persons" by our Supreme Court (Citizens United) but those are capitalist & GOP ideas that conservative republicans celebrate, right? Don't their corporations have the same rights to free speech as Kochs? Aren't hedge funds, in general, a tax advantaged repulican created enterprise? For the record, BlackRock donates about equally to democrats and republicans (though they did pull their donations from 147 unpatriotic insurrectionist supporting congressman who voted against certifying the 2020 landside Biden victory).

Further, as a Christian why are you spreading disinformation, copying and pasting from known alt-right, white nationalist, heretical, insurrection-supporting, disinformation websites?

History: Founded in February 2015 by former Sun News Network personalities Ezra Levant and Brian Lilley, The Rebel is a conservative-leaning media website that publishes news, opinions, and videos. The current editor is Ezra Levant.

Gavin McInnes, the founder of the far-right neo-fascist organization Proud Boys, was also a contributor and subsequently let go after controversy and brought back in 2019. According to MacLean’s The Rebel is a part of the Alt-right and sympathetic toward white nationalists. The Rebel denies this claim.

Analysis / Bias: Rebel News routinely publishes news with loaded emotional wording that favors the right, such as this: Why Trudeau’s Liberals are pretending THIS gun control study doesn’t exist, and this Cops bundle up angry left-wing student in taped meltdown. Both of these stories are linked to strongly right-leaning sources such as Campus Reform. In general, most stories favor the right and denigrate the left. Further, according to the right-leaning, The National, The Rebel has been accused of stirring up anti-Muslim hate. Some writers for The Rebel have also been profiled by the left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center for promoting hatred.

When it comes to sourcing, The Rebel does hyperlink to outside sources, but they often attempt to source within their domain to increase web traffic. Finally, throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, they have repeatedly made false and misleading claims, as evidenced in the below-failed fact checks. In general, this is a far-right media source that is not always factual.
...
Overall, we rate Rebel News Right Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, poor sourcing, and several failed fact checks. (10/9/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 02/22/2022)

I can only speculate but the recent targeting of Larry Fink of Blackrock seems to be a coordinated attack upon him. Not unlike the Soros attacks (which Ezra has participated in and had to apologize to for defaming). The story about Fink at Davos doesn't list anything he's doing or done in Davos...just speculative words and insinuations punishing him for being there at all while associating him to some of the "evils" done by corporations his hedge fund has invested in.

It's all just so weird, this endless alt-right unsubstantiated propaganda contradicting itself and wrapping itself in false piety.

I'm not the one that shared a link and quotation from a well-known disinformation website that hosted such white nationalists as Gavin McGinness (sp?) and continually referred to the Charlottesville nazi protestors as "patriots".

Being born Jewish doesn't preclude one from being a hateful, white nationalist-supporting individual.

Nor does it necessarily preclude them from being anti-Semitic. Many Jewish persons collaborated with the Nazis.

As I posted before, the whole Soros dog-whistle meme was largely politicized by Jewish conservative election consultants working on behalf of fascist Turkish dictator Orban.

Levan has a history of spreading lies about Soros as well and he apologized for doing so.

I'm not having dinner or breaking bread with Levan OR Fink. My criticism of Levan isn't a defense of Fink. I don't know Fink but at least he doesn't have a history of race-baiting, supporting white nationalists and publishing complete lies (many documented in court).

White nationalism is, in part, an attempt at a "woke" movement trying to make you feel like a victim by stoking your fears and anger against "others".

In other words...a form of cultural marxism.

Are you a victim?

Why be surprised? After a recent covid infection it's been well known that positive covid tests can follow for several weeks.

She also didn't "concede lockdowns went too far". She merely indicated, in her opinion, if we knew then what we know now things could have been handled differently. That's not a shocking admission. That's how public health works. Erroring on the side of caution isn't a mistake and she wasn't indicating no lockdowns would have been a better solution.

There's no single public health policy that would have worked perfectly in the face of a pandemic.

Personally, I can look back at the numbers and think staying at home was a waste of time in March, April and May 2020. The spike in cases in my area wasn't nearly as bad in early 2020 as it ended up being in 2021 when traveling was allowed to take place. But however small the risk, I'm satisfied knowing I wasn't that one guy that brought the initial cases of covid from someplace lax like the death traps in Florida back to my hometown.

In fact, we SHOULD HAVE locked-down earlier and harder initially, at least a few weeks prior to March 20, 2020. We also know partial lockdowns and/or regional lockdowns are ineffective as entitled conservative Americans, in particular, don't follow public health rules or laws that stringently.

Likewise, in hindsight, I'm sure you'll agree at this point antivaccine sentiment was misguided and further exacerbated covid hospitalizations and mortality in the US and elsewhere in the world. My cousin and hundreds of thousands of others that died unvaccinated the summer and fall of 2021 died unnecessarily due to disinformation and fear of the vaccine. Be nice to hear you admit that yourself.

<a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/14/dr-leana-wen-writes-that-covid-deaths-are-being-overcounted/>CNN analyst slammed after writing COVID deaths are being overcounted: ‘TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATE’</a>

<i>CNN medical analyst and Washington Post columnist Dr. Leana Wen admitted in a column, Friday, that the medical community is “overcounting” the amount of “COVID deaths and hospitalizations.”

Wen, who writes an occasional Washington Post column providing her observations on the pandemic, masking and other COVID-related subjects, cited sources claiming that most “patients diagnosed with COVID are actually in the hospital for some other illness.”

The article is titled, “We are overcounting COVID deaths and hospitalizations. That’s a problem.”

Wen’s observations prompted readers on Twitter to complain, stating that it’s “two and a half years late.”

Wen began her column with some apparent skepticism about the CDC’s latest COVID-19 death stats: “According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States is experiencing around 400 COVID deaths every day. At that rate, there would be nearly 150,000 deaths a year. But are these Americans dying from COVID or with COVID?”

The doctor claimed that “Understanding this distinction is crucial to putting the continuing toll of the coronavirus into perspective. Determining how likely it is an infection will result in hospitalization or death helps people weigh their own risk.”

She spoke to two Infectious-disease experts, who told her they believed “the number of deaths attributed to COVID is far greater than the actual number of people dying from COVID.”

Mentioning the first, she wrote, “Robin Dretler, an attending physician at Emory Decatur Hospital and the former president of Georgia’s chapter of Infectious Diseases Society of America, estimates that at his hospital, 90 percent of patients diagnosed with COVID are actually in the hospital for some other illness.”

Dretler told the analyst, “Since every hospitalized patient gets tested for COVID many are incidentally positive.” Wen noted how people with gunshot wounds or other serious illnesses often test positive for the virus, and wrote, “If these patients die, COVID might get added to their death certificate along with the other diagnoses. But the coronavirus was not the primary contributor to their death and often played no role at all.”

Dretler admitted this contributed to “imprecise reporting” on COVID deaths and hospitalizations, which he added did not come from a place of “bad intent.” He denied that there was any “conspiracy” behind it to “exaggerate coronavirus numbers for some nefarious purpose.”</i>

Craig said...

[cont]

Wen also cited infectious-disease physician Shira Doron, who figured out that “In recent months, only about 30 percent of total hospitalizations with COVID were primarily attributed to the virus” in Massachusetts hospitals for example.

Wen recounted Doron’s experience at Tufts Medical Center, writing, “During some days, she said, the proportion of those hospitalized because of COVID were as low as 10 percent of the total number reported” who had COVID.

Wen added, “Doron acknowledges that there is a gray zone in the data in which COVID might not be the primary cause of death but could have contributed to it.”

Towards the end of her piece, Wen declared, “To be clear, if the COVID death count turns out to be 30 percent of what’s currently reported, that’s still unacceptably high.”

Many readers on Twitter seemed frustrated with the piece, expressing that they believed the medical community had been counting for years now and that Wen’s info comes too late.

Epidemiologist Dr. Tracy Høeg responded to Wen’s piece, stating, “Spring 2021 [USA] had good evidence >40% of child COVID admissions were incidental. 2021 Denmark announced they’d distinguish with vs from COVID hosp. COVID+ deaths in [Denmark] in 2022 [were] 60-70% incidental.”

The doctor added, “Amazing how long it has taken the U.S. to accept this is a problem.”

Center for Security Policy senior analyst J. Michael Waller slammed the Washington Post over the column, stating, “Not long ago, the Washington Post was calling us conspiracy theorists for saying such things.”

Author A.J. Kay tweeted, “Well, yeah … You’d think seeing this in legacy media would offer a feeling of vindication or resolution for those of us who have been screaming about it since 2020, but really it’s just exasperation, anger, & grief. The lies caused so much harm.”

“The Australian” journalist Adam Creighton tweeted, “People saying this a year ago were booted off social media.”

Brownstone Institute president Jeffrey Tucker tweeted, “This is not just recently true. It’s been true for three years! We truly do not know how many actually died from COVID, which means that not even the CFR is accurate.”

Timcast staff writer Adrian Norman wrote, “TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATE.”

CNN analyst slammed after writing COVID deaths are being overcounted: ‘TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATE’

Anonymous said...

Craig at 7:49 am

More feigned "exasperation, anger, & grief" over known information repackaged as some conspiracy.

Around 3 million Americans die every year. In 2020, 2021 and 2022 some of those already dying persons ended up in hospitals or medical institutions where they were exposed to and/or ended up with Covid as well. If they tested positive it was listed on their death certificate just as pneumonia might be listed on a weakened cancer patient who ultimately succumbed to pneumonia.

I think I recall having several discussions about this same topic here. There's both an immediate cause of death and there are illnesses which exacerbate death listed on the death certificate. There have been many articles discussing the difference between dying with and dying of, covid over the last few years and it's why, in late 2022-2023 we aren't locking down and masking up despite much higher dying of/dying with Covid numbers today versus all of 2020. We understand this virus better today and it's not NOVEL anymore (endemic) upon most of the population (vaccination and prior infections).

There's been no LIE or conspiracy to hide these facts. It's how deaths are/were reported. It's how doctors and public health officials understood and understand such numbers. They also understand some deaths are missed, like some homeless deaths and/or the cancer patients or elders that died at home untested of/with Covid. The extent the current "twitter universe" doesn't understand these well-known facts has more to do with disinformation promulgated by the likes of middle school dropouts like Tim Poole, his staff and even you. Guess they weren't paying attention.

In other words, don't be daft.

For example, here's an explanation from March 2022.

How are COVID-19 deaths counted, and what does this mean?

X,

Once again, you gaslight. In all your OPINION-comments, you cast aspersions at others who disagree with your OPINION. You can cite this or that article, while others can cite counter-examples. To claim your conclusion is definitive is quite arrogant. AND unchristian.

Wen was one of the most ardent supporters of (extreme) lockdowns, masking, vaccinations, etc. She repeated the narrative about deaths related to C19. Most simply equivocated on ‘COVID deaths’, implicitly equating those who died WITH COVID (in some of whom C19 was merely incidental having NO ROLE in their hospitalization or death) with those who clearly died OF COVID (comorbidities or not).

From the Reuters piece: Key to understanding the issues in these posts is that, “If they had not gotten the infection,” Dr. Artandi said, “they would still be alive.” Assuming that is INDEED the case in such patients, then we can make this distinction. But how often was this distinction actually made or even POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE? To appropriate the Tootsie Pop owl, “the world may never know.”

And this says nothing of the very distinct probability that not a few of these positive tests in hospital were indeed false positives.

Wen here is conceding that COVID deaths were very likely OVER-counted, to the tune of 60–70%. That’s a pretty alarming admission—especially from someone who formerly adhered to the extreme narrative.

I watch and read your links, maybe you should take a look at this one debunking Dr. Wen's op ed piece.

Covid deaths are not being overcounted - if anything, they're being *undercounted*. In today's deep dive on the @MehdiHasanShow, I debunked Dr. Leana Wen's dangerous & fact-free op-ed in the Washington Post - her gift to the Covid deniers!

https://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/status/1616247212308332544


I know it's MSNBC and therefore biased (his line about covid currently being a 9/11 event every week is hyperbole for sure) but he goes over much of what I said and more.

I note, Dr. Wen is a former president of Planned Parenthood. A Luciferian, no doubt. Her flip-flopping between extreme pro-covid lockdowns (she wrote in Reason magazine suggesting the unvaccinated should be arrested for leaving their home at one point) and now exaggerated anti-vax propaganda indicates to me the woman values and seeks attention using shock and awe over well-research and documented accuracy.

It IS worthwhile to discuss this matter among Christians. Iron sharpens iron. The snakes are still trying to tell us God didn't mean what he said. These anti-vax lies (the twisting, inflating and disseminating of a dr's unresearched and undocumented opinion piece) are poisonous fruit.

Yuval Noah Harari on the Rise of Homo Deus

Intelligence Squared

Filmed at the Emmanuel Centre on 5th September 2016.

“Studying history aims to loosen the grip of the past… It will not tell us what to choose, but at least it gives us more options.” – Yuval Noah Harari

Yuval Noah Harari is the star historian who shot to fame with his international bestseller 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind'. In that book Harari explained how human values have been continually shifting since our earliest beginnings: once we placed gods at the centre of the universe; then came the Enlightenment, and from then on human feelings have been the authority from which we derive meaning and values. Now, using his trademark blend of science, history, philosophy and every discipline in between, Harari argues in his new book 'Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow', our values may be about to shift again – away from humans, as we transfer our faith to the almighty power of data and the algorithm.

In conversation with Kamal Ahmed, the BBC’s economics editor, Harari examined the political and economic revolutions that look set to transform society, as technology continues its exponential advance. What will happen when artificial intelligence takes over most of the jobs that people do? Will our liberal values of equality and universal human rights survive the creation of a massive new class of individuals who are economically useless? And when Google and Facebook know our political preferences better than we do ourselves, will democratic elections become redundant?

As the 21st century progresses, not only our society and economy but our bodies and minds could be revolutionised by new technologies such as genetic engineering, nanotechnology and brain-computer interfaces. After a few countries master the enhancement of bodies and brains, will they conquer the planet while the rest of humankind is driven to extinction?


Well, not to worry! The WEF will be sure to 'do the right thing' for our planet in balance with all the world's problems. The "climate emergency" is caused by the "fact" that "there's too many of us, and most of us are living incorrectly" (Ted Turner, "Ted Turner Turns It On", Audobon, Vol. 93, No. 6, p 113). Turner had looked into the mirror and discovered YOU are the problem!

The globalist elites are poised to take the world stage. From them will rise the New World Order/Religion and introduce the "man of sin" at some point. This is how I see this and though I may hope I am wrong I don't think so. This has advanced so far now so how far can that be out there now?
To me this is deeply troubling because so many we know and love are not seeing the real harm that is planned, and truly aimed against their eternal souls.

Prayerfully sharing the Gospel Good News is more important than ever to me.

THIS is how the NAR ‘jesus’ will return. And this is why they believe they will be victorious over their ‘enemies’.

And this parallels occultic perversions of Colossians 1:27, such as found in the Alice A. Bailey works.

What one minute Craig. YOU vehemently argue that not everything from Gateway Pundit and other far right leaning publications should be tossed aside without first evaluating it for its merit. A bit two faced.

Anon 11:47 AM,

To what do you refer? Do you mean my earlier comment @ 7:10 AM: Now, I will readily admit that both sources make speculations that go beyond the facts presented, but to categorically dismiss without even a cursory reading...? You must put that in proper context. My point was that IN THIS CASE both the GP article AND its source did some speculating beyond the facts they presented. That's all. But this is not unlike almost ANY source one finds.

I don't agree the GP is "far right leaning". It is Right-leaning, but I wouldn't say "far Right".

In the intricate dance of existence, love embodies the essence of a gamble, where every step forward carries the weight of uncertainty. Much like a game of chance, life unfolds in unpredictable ways, and love, with its myriad complexities, becomes the ultimate wager. Sometimes, we find ourselves swept away by the exhilarating rush of victory, as love rewards us with boundless joy and fulfillment. Yet, there are moments when we stand at the edge of risk, contemplating whether to place our hearts on the line, knowing that the outcome may not always be in our favor. Nevertheless, it is in embracing this inherent gamble that we truly live, for love's unpredictability infuses our journey with passion, resilience, and the profound beauty of human connection.
