W.H.O. Says Kill Jabs Not Border Restrictions Are Fundamental to Battling Omicron

By StevieRay Hansen | May 29, 2022

The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) has a plan to save the planet from disaster. It urged countries Friday to step up their drive to vaccinate everyone and stem a corona-virus surge driven by the Omicron variant, adding travel curbs and border controls are not the answer. Omicron has gained a foothold in Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East and Europe and has reached seven of the nine provinces of South Africa, where it was first identified last month. In response many governments have tightened travel rules aimed at African departure points to keep the variant out, but the W.H.O. is keen on more jabs and boosters for everyone. “Border controls can buy time but every country and every community must prepare for new surges in cases,” Takeshi Kasai, the W.H.O.’s western Pacific director, told a media briefing. When Donald Trump closed borders due…

Xinjiang Police Files Leaked Provides ‘Shocking’ Evidence of Mass Persecution.

By Bryce Abbott | May 28, 2022

According to Andrew Bremberg, the foundation’s president and a former US ambassador to the United Nations, a report released by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation presenting leaked documents from the files of the Xinjiang police offers “absolutely shocking” evidence of the chronic abuse and brutality inflicted on the Uyghur population in China’s far west region. The “Xinjiang Police Files,” as they’re known, are a “massive data dump that is unparalleled of its sort,” according to Bremberg, who claims the files contain the personal information of hundreds of thousands of detainees. Analysts believe that over 1 million Uyghurs and other ethnic Muslim minorities are being held in a network of concentration camps across the area by the Chinese state. The files contain “significant damning facts from within China’s detention camp system,” according to a May 23 news statement from the…

After the Arrest of a Drug Cartel Leader, a Border Town in the United States Has Been Transformed Into a War Zone, as the Biden Administration Pursues Legal Gun Owners Weapons, Tribulation

By StevieRay Hansen | May 28, 2022

HNewsWire-Following the arrest of a prominent cartel lord, the Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo has been converted into a battle zone. On Monday, the streets were strewn with burning automobiles, and significant gun fighting was reported, prompting the US embassy to go into lockdown and the US border crossing to be temporarily closed. The mayhem erupted late Sunday when Juan Gerardo Trevino, or “El Huevo,” the commander of one section of the Northeast Cartel, the Zetas Cartel’s successor gang, was apprehended. He is also a US citizen, according to a Mexican government source quoted by Reuters. Trevino is on the list of the most sought cartel members, according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Trevino is wanted in the United States for narcotics trafficking and money laundering. Members of the cartel kidnapped and burnt cars, as well as…

San Diego Unified School District Delays Vaccine Mandate With No Religious Exemptions.

By Bryce Abbott | May 28, 2022

As opponents go ahead with a federal lawsuit against the district, the San Diego Unified School District decided on May 24 to postpone its policy forcing kids to get vaccinated against COVID-19 for a second time. The decision to postpone the mandate was welcomed as a success by Paul Jonna, Thomas More Society Special Counsel and partner at LiMandri and Jonna LLP. “We applaud this course of action,” Jonna said in a statement, “which marks yet another big success for these families and their children, the majority of whom will now be able to experience regular senior years and graduate from high school.” The requirement, which was supposed to go into force in July, will be postponed until 2023 or later. The school system, which has previously postponed the obligation, is one of the few in the country that compels…

Oklahoma Gov. Signs Bill Effectively Banning Abortion; Turbulence Ahead.

By Bryce Abbott | May 26, 2022

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law on Wednesday that prohibits abortion from the moment of conception, with a few exceptions. Oklahoma HB 4327 is presently the most stringent abortion ban in the United States. It forbids doctors from performing abortions once a pregnancy has been confirmed. There are certain exceptions, such as if the abortion is judged essential to preserve the mother’s life. Another exemption is if the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest and was reported to the authorities. “As governor, I promised Oklahomans that I would sign every pro-life bill that came across my desk, and I am glad to uphold that commitment today,” said Stitt, a first-term Republican. “We have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to preserve the baby’s life and the mother’s life from the time life…

Sweden Coercing Immunocompromised Population To Obtain A 5th Dose Of Experimental Injection.

By Bryce Abbott | May 26, 2022

On May 24, the Swedish government announced that everyone aged 65 and over, as well as at-risk groups under 65, such as immunocompromised people and pregnant women, should receive a fifth dosage of COVID-19 vaccination. According to the Swedish Public Health Agency, at-risk populations under 65 include persons with heart and lung illness. The fifth dose, or third booster dose, will be available beginning September 1, according to the CDC. “We must be prepared for increasing spread in Sweden throughout the next fall and winter seasons,” the agency warned in a statement. The pandemic, according to Swedish Minister of Social Affairs Lena Hallengren, is far from done. In a statement, she stated, “The vaccination is our most powerful instrument for averting catastrophic disease and death.” For the other age categories, the agency’s guidelines are unchanged. Three doses of the COVID-19…

Right Wing Political Commentator Jack Posobiec Detained By WEF Police In Davos Under Undisclosed Suspicions.

By Bryce Abbott | May 24, 2022

Jack Posobiec, a conservative American author and podcast presenter, says he was briefly held by police while reporting for Turning Point USA at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos to “reveal the ‘Great Reset’ agenda.” Posobiec was seen in videos on social media at an outside table on the pavement in the Swiss city, flanked by roughly four armed and uniformed police officers and at least two plain-clothed policemen. The policemen were recognizable by patches that said “WEF Police.” In a video published by Turning Point USA, Posobiec recalled the interaction. “Under Klaus Schwab’s leadership, the World Economic Forum has its own… paramilitary police unit called the World Economic Forum Police,” Posobiec claimed. He went on to say that an hour before they were arrested, a plain-clothed police officer approached his group and demanded to see their media credentials.…

Russia And China Are In It For The Long Haul; Strengthening Economic Ties Via Technological Innovation.

By Bryce Abbott | May 24, 2022

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that his country will focus on developing ties with China, claiming that the two neighbors share mutual interests and can work together to grow technologically. According to a transcript issued by Russia’s Foreign Ministry on May 23, Lavrov remarked, “Now that the West has chosen the stance of ‘dictator,’ our economic connections with China will expand even quicker.” According to Russia’s state-run news agency RT, Lavrov made the statements to pupils at a Moscow high school. Russia and China, according to Lavrov, have “shared interests” in international affairs and may profit from working together on technology. “This is a chance for us to fulfill our potential in high technology, including nuclear energy, but also in a variety of other sectors,” Lavrov continued. Following a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi…

CDC Recommends COVID Testing Before All Domestic Flights, Including Vaccinated Persons.

By Bryce Abbott | May 23, 2022

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all domestic travelers, regardless of immunization status, have COVID-19 testing before and after their trip. Anyone traveling within the United States should consider “being tested as near to the time of departure as feasible,” and no more than three days before a trip, according to an update on the agency’s website. Previously, it only suggested testing for patients who had not gotten COVID-19 immunizations or had not had their booster injections in a long time. People who went to crowded places “while not wearing a well-fitting mask or respirator” should take a test before or after their excursion, according to the CDC report. A federal court in Florida overturned the CDC’s requirement that passengers wear masks inside airports or on aircraft in April. Officials from the Justice Department have indicated…

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the Lord.

Vice President Mike Pence told a crowd of graduates from the Christian-based Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, that they ought to be ready for ridicule because this secular world is about as intolerant of those of the faith as can be.

There is no doubt that persecution is a stark reality of living the Christian life. Christian persecution is to be expected: the apostle Paul warned that “everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). Jesus said that, if they persecuted Him, they will also persecute His followers (John 15:20). Jesus made it clear that those of the world will hate Christians because the world hates Christ. If Christians were like the world—vain, earthly, sensual, and given to pleasure, wealth, and ambition—the world would not oppose us. But Christians do not belong to the world, which is why the world engages in Christian persecution (see John 15:18–19). Christians are influenced by different principles from those of the world. We are motivated by the love of God and holiness, while the world is driven by the love of sin. It is our very separation from the world that arouses the world’s animosity (1 Peter 4:3–4).

Christians must learn to recognize the value of persecution and even to rejoice in it, not in an ostentatious way but quietly and humbly because persecution has great spiritual value. First, the persecution of Christians allows them to share in a unique fellowship with the Lord. Paul outlined a number of things he had surrendered for the cause of Christ. Such losses, however, he viewed as “rubbish” (Philippians 3:8) or “dung” (KJV) that he might share in the “fellowship of [Christ’s] sufferings” (Philippians 3:10). The noble apostle even counted his chains as a grace (favor) that God had bestowed upon him (Philippians 1:7).

Second, in all truth, Christian persecution is good for believers. James argues that trials test the Christian’s faith, develop endurance in his life, and help develop maturity (James 1:2–4). As steel is tempered in the forge, trials and persecution serve to strengthen the character of believers. A Christian yielding graciously to persecution demonstrates that he is of superior quality as compared to his adversaries (see Hebrews 11:38). It’s easy to be hateful, but Christlikeness produces kindness and blessing in the face of evil opposition. Peter says of Jesus, “When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly” (1 Peter 2:23).

Third, Christian persecution enables believers to better value the support of true friends. Conflict can bring faithful children of God together in an encouraging and supportive way they might not have known otherwise. Hardship can stimulate the Lord’s people toward a greater resolve to love and comfort one another and lift one another to the throne of grace in prayer. There’s nothing like an unpleasant incident to help us reach a greater level of brotherly love.

Even in the face of Christian persecution, we can press on. We can thank God for His grace and patience with us. We can express gratitude for those whom we love in the Lord and who stand with us in times of distress. And we can pray for those who would accuse, misuse, or abuse us (2 Corinthians 11:24Romans 10:1).

A working definition of hate speech is "speech that is intended to insult, intimidate, or cause prejudice against a person or people based on their race, gender, age, sexual orientation, political affiliation, occupation, disability, or physical appearance." If that is the accepted definition, a Christian should never participate in hate speech. However, the problem is that the definition of hate speech is broadening over time. Proclaiming that a certain belief is wrong or that a certain activity is sinful, based on biblical principles, is increasingly being included in the definition of hate speech.

Ephesians 4:15 refers to "speaking the truth in love." First Peter 3:15 instructs Christians to defend their faith, but to do so "with gentleness and respect." Colossians 4:6 proclaims, "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt." Sadly, some Christians fail to follow these biblical instructions. Some Christians (or at least people who claim to be Christians) speak the truth but speak it in such a way that it is very hateful. One prominent example would be Westboro Baptist Church and its "God hates fags" slogan. Westboro Baptist Church is correct in declaring the Bible's teaching that homosexuality is sinful, but they are declaring this truth in such a way that it is intended to be incendiary, offensive, and hurtful. Needless to say, the Bible does not support such methods.

It is likely that in the near future, governments will begin declaring more speech as hate speech, thereby making it illegal. In some parts of the world, it is illegal to say that homosexuality is a sin. In some countries, it is illegal to declare one religion right and other religions wrong. This steady broadening of what qualifies as hate speech could eventually lead to any effort to evangelize being declared hate speech since it would be "hateful" to tell a person that what he/she currently believes is incorrect.

What the perpetrators of this expanded hate speech definition fail to realize (or admit) is that to tell someone the truth is an act of love, not hate. Is it hateful for a teacher to tell a student that his/her answer is wrong? Is it hateful for a building inspector to tell a construction company that they are building on a faulty foundation? Of course, the answer to these questions is no. However, that is precisely the illogic that is being applied to current hate speech legislation. Telling someone that his/her religious views are wrong is somehow hateful. Telling someone that his/her lifestyle is immoral is somehow hateful. The logic is not, in any sense, consistent with how truth is determined in other areas of society.

Our goal is to speak the truth in love. We do not hate Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Catholics, Mormons, or Jehovah's Witnesses. Rather, we simply believe that these groups are making some serious theological and biblical errors. We do not hate homosexuals, adulterers, pornographers, transsexuals, or fornicators. Rather, we simply believe that those who commit such acts are making immoral and ungodly decisions. Telling someone that he/she is in the wrong is not hateful. In reality, refusing to tell someone the truth is what is truly hateful. Declaring the speaking of truth, presented respectfully, to be hate speech, is, in fact, the ultimate demonstration of hate.Source

It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.

Like Joseph and Daniel of the Old Testament who served secular kings, we are called to serve everyone and help them fulfill their divine destiny. Jesus made it clear that people who want to lead or be great must be the servants of all. Serving is the way of leadership in the kingdom.

Forcing our way onto the world is not great leadership. Some accuse us of doing this very thing because we speak up on moral issues. It is important that we speak up on issues, but it's also equally important that we love everyone no matter their persuasions.

Someday Jesus will rule the world; in the meantime, we should just serve well and let our good works speak of our Father who loves everyone.
