Indonesia Passes Law To Criminalize Sex Outside Of Marriage And Bans LGBTQIA+ Identification – winepressnews.com

“Anyone who has intercourse with someone who is not their husband or wife shall be punished for adultery with a maximum imprisonment of 1 (one) year or a maximum fine of category II,” the bill reads.

Fornicators and adulterers maybe imprisoned for engaging in sexual relations outside the confines of a marriage, after the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights and Commission III of the Indonesian Parliament moved to codify these proposals to making adjustments of the Criminal Law Code.

The bill would also ban identifying and having LGTBQIA+ relations.



Russia's upper house of parliament passes tougher ban on 'LGBT propaganda'

The bill has to be signed into law by Russian President Vladimir Putin after being passed by the Federation Council. It passed the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, on November 24.

The law proposes to ban all Russians from promoting or “praising” homosexual relationships or publicly suggesting that they are “normal.” It also prohibits “propaganda” of pedophilia and gender reassignment in advertising, books, films.

The first thing that came to mind when I read this was Jacob 3:5-8

5 Behold, the Lamanites your brethren, whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursing which hath come upon their skins, are more righteous than you; for they have not forgotten the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto our father—that they should have save it were one wife, and concubines they should have none, and there should not be whoredoms committed among them.
6 And now, this commandment they observe to keep; wherefore, because of this observance, in keeping this commandment, the Lord God will not destroy them, but will be merciful unto them; and one day they shall become a blessed people.
7 Behold, their husbands love their wives, and their wives love their husbands; and their husbands and their wives love their children; and their unbelief and their hatred towards you is because of the iniquity of their fathers; wherefore, how much better are you than they, in the sight of your great Creator?
8 O my brethren, I fear that unless ye shall repent of your sins that their skins will be whiter than yours, when ye shall be brought with them before the throne of God.

Almost No One Noticed the Hate Speech Law That Just Took Effect — or the Lawsuit Against It - The New American

It was already the case that certain conservative websites have had to eliminate their comment sections under threat from Big Tech, which has the ability to take those sites offline (as it did with Parler). Now the New York state government has gotten in on the act, instituting a “hate speech” law that compels any site allowing comments to police its users’ speech — or face punishment. As law professor Eugene Volokh puts it, the state wants to “conscript” us to “violate the Constitution.”

Memphis hospital caves to ACLU legal threats, will resume transgender surgeries - TheBlaze

The American Civil Liberties Union threatened a Memphis hospital with complaints to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office for Civil Rights if it does not resume transgender surgeries for patients before the end of 2022, according to the Daily Mail. Now, the hospital says it will be "moving forward" with the surgeries before the end of the year.

The ACLU threatened Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare with a lawsuit on behalf of a 19-year-old named Chris Evans whose surgery, scheduled for early December, was canceled. Evans allegedly suffers from gender dysphoria, and according to the ACLU, his surgery is medically necessary, despite the nature of the procedure being unclear.

"Ending medically necessary healthcare for one particular group of people based on sex, whether by formal written policy or simply in practice, is discrimination and violates federal law," said ACLU attorney Lucas Cameron-Vaughn, adding that the group will "evaluate whether [they] need to file a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights once [they] have a response from the hospital."

Danger Zone: On Religion, America Is Becoming More Like China - The New American

In fact, the first example Bullivant used in his book is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because it’s a “canary in the coal mine” story. As RNS writes, if
even the Mormons are starting to bleed members, “that shows what a big issue this is for everyone else.” The erosion of Mormon attachment, he said, indicates “the breakdown of religious subcultures,” which has been especially profound in places such as Utah and southern Idaho where, in decades past, a person’s entire social and religious life could be spent around members of the LDS church.

The internet chips away at that enclave. “This was important for many of the Mormons I interviewed, who were encountering new things about Mormon history online. But even more than this, they’re starting to hang out with non-Mormons and ex-Mormons, people who are very much in your boat, and that becomes this other world you can inhabit.”

The third factor sounds like circular logic: The nones are rising because the nones are rising. But human beings are herd creatures, Bullivant explains in the book; we tend to do what our neighbors are doing. With every headline (like the one above) that heralds the seismic shift the nation is experiencing, more people become comfortable being nonreligious.

Climate lockdowns coming? You will be tracked in your suburb and happy about it. « JoNova

Oxford City Council is moving faster than the rest
Apparently, not enough people are catching buses or riding bikes. But instead of making that more appealing, the totalitarians will force it through tracking and fines. Oxfordshire has just approved on November 29th, the “traffic filters” trial which will turn the city into a “fifteen minute city”. The Trial will start in Jan 2024.

It’s a crowded area, Oxfordshire, and no one likes traffic congestion, but in a free world the problem is self-limiting as drivers get fed up with delays and exorbitant parking costs, and they car-pool or choose to catch the bus or ride a bike. But in Big Nanny State the local rulers start making rules about who can and can’t visit and how often, and they want your car registered on their own special list with cameras to track you and fines to punish you. They offer exemptions of course, but then you have to apply for them and get permission.

Want to bet Chris will be back in 15 years to file suit against the hospital, doctors, and insurance for ruining his/her life by performing the surgery. It's the American way.

‘Huge, Missing and Growing:’ $65 Trillion in Dollar Debt Sparks Concern

The findings, based on data from a survey of global currency markets earlier this year, offer a rare insight into the scale of hidden leverage. Foreign-exchange swaps were a flashpoint during the global financial crisis of 2008 and pandemic of 2020, when dollar funding stress forced central banks to step in to help struggling borrowers.

To be sure, the debt is backed by an equivalent amount of hard currency. To understand how the system works, consider a Dutch pension fund buying assets in the US. As part of the transaction, it will often use a foreign-currency swap to exchange euros for dollars. Then, when it’s closed out, the fund will repay dollars and receives euros. For the length of the trade, the payment obligation is recorded off-balance sheet, which the BIS calls a “blind spot” in the financial system.

Australia Launches New MyGov App That Combines Digital Banking With Managing Private And Public Services, And Vaccine Passports – winepressnews.com

Yesterday the Australian federal government debuted their long awaited MyGov app that stands to act as an early watered down all-in-one app courtesy of the government; combining digital banking, IDs such as license and medical cards, access government and private sector services, vaccine passports, and more.

The app will require different biometric features such as facial recognition, fingerprint scans, QR codes, and a 6-digit PIN.

Calling the move a “quantum leap forward” for government services in Australia, Minister Bill Shorten explained that this app is designed to become a single “digital location” to manage identity and provide mobile access to both government and private sector services. “At long last,” he said.

If Schools Can't Tell Boys From Girls, How Can You Trust Them?

Last Thursday afternoon, time expired for parents to provide comments on proposed changes to sex education in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), one of the largest school districts in the country, with a population of about 180,000 students. As The Federalist reported last week, the proposal includes labeling boys and girls, respectively, as “assigned” males and females “at birth.” It also includes curricula on “sexual orientation and gender identity” that involves watching a pro-transgender PBS video telling kids they can have “intermediate” private parts.

If you think FCPS officials will carefully consider comments and complaints from parents worried about exposing their prepubescent children to transgender ideology, and perhaps even rethink their plans, I have some swampland in Florida I’d like to sell you. As we have seen from earlier examples of Fairfax County “welcoming comments” on proposed changes to road names, this public survey is nothing more than an empty, perfunctory bureaucratic procedure aimed at pretending that parents have a say regarding what happens during the school day.

Yet even more saliently, FCPS’s willingness to embrace this radical gender ideology and foist it upon thousands of Northern Virginia youth provokes a more important question: If our public schools can’t differentiate boys from girls, what wisdom and knowledge can they impart?

A new report out of Kentucky claims that Forcht Bank is prohibiting its customers from using debit cards to buy firearms.

The customer reportedly closed his account after the incident, according to a post published by the gun shop owner in a private group on Facebook.

“TRANSACTION DECLINED: CHARGE DECLINED. RESTRICTED CARD. CUSTOMER BANK DOES NOT ALLOW THIS CARD TO BE USED AT THIS TYPE OF MERCHANT,” the error message reads.

German Molecular Biologist Unveils Concept of World’s First Artificial Womb Facility Which Can Incubate up to 30,000 Lab-Grown Babies a Year (VIDEO)

On Friday, a German molecular biologist by trade unveiled a new concept for the world’s first artificial womb facility, EctoLife, which could incubate up to 30,000 babies a year.

“My new concept will be unveiled early December, something that I have been working on for a while,” said Hashem Al-Ghaili in November. “The new concept relies on over 50 years of groundbreaking scientific research.”

Hashem Al-Ghaili is a molecular biologist, producer, filmmaker, and science communicator based in Berlin, Germany.

EctoLife, which operates solely on renewable energy, enables infertile couples to conceive and become the biological parents of their own offspring.

Israeli-Based 3D-Printed Lab-Grown Meat Company is Building World's Largest Facility in North Carolina

An Israeli company that specializes in 3D-printed lab-grown meat with non-GMO animal cells is currently building the world’s largest commercial-scale production facility in North Carolina.

Believer Meat, formerly known as Future Meat Technologies, is building its facility with an initial planned investment of $123.35 million located in Wilson County, North Carolina, which covers a site of 200,000-square-foot.

“BELIEVER Meats, a leading pioneer of the cultivated meat industry, officially broke ground today on its first U.S. commercial facility in Wilson, North Carolina,” the company said in a statement Wednesday.

“Once operational, the 200,000-square-foot facility will be the largest cultivated meat production center in the world with the capacity to produce at least 10,000 metric tons of cultivated meat, without the need to slaughter a single animal. This is a watershed moment for the cultivated meat industry that will allow BELIEVER Meats to meet growing demand for decades to come.”

Ex-Navy SEAL “Detransitioner”: Don’t Believe a Word I Said When I Was “Trans” - The New American

“I was used…. I was very naive; I was in a really bad way, and I got taken advantage of.” So said Chris Beck, who for about a decade went by “Kristen Beck” after claiming to have transitioned to being a woman.

Beck was a convenient poster boy for the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) cause, too, with two decades of U.S. Navy service that included being on SEAL Team Six, a baker’s dozen of deployments, and earning more than 50 service-related medals and ribbons. But now he says:

“Everything you see on CNN with my face, do not even believe a word of it.”

Beck made his comments to conservative commentator Robby Starbuck in an interview published early this month. He has come forward to undo the damage his former testimonials have done and to issue a warning: MUSS-related “services” are destroying children.

Some offspring of Moderna mRNA vaccine test rats born with skeletal deformities: Judicial Watch | Just The News

Pharmaceutical company Moderna informed the Food and Drug Administration that a "statistically significant" number of rats whose mothers received the company's mRNA COVID-19 vaccine were born with skeletal deformities, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services that a watchdog group obtained.



Judicial Watch: FDA Records Show Significant Number of mRNA Test Rats Born with Skeletal Deformations | Judicial Watch

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it received 699 pages of records from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding data Moderna submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, which indicate a “statistically significant” number of rats were born with skeletal deformations after their mothers were injected with the vaccine. The documents also reveal Moderna elected not to conduct a number of standard pharmacological studies on the laboratory test animals.

Judicial Watch obtained the records through a September 2021 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) failed to respond to a June 2021, FOIA request biodistribution studies and related data for the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson& Johnson COVID vaccines (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (No. 1:21-cv-02418)).

The records include a “Nonclinical Overview” prepared by Moderna and submitted to the FDA for approval of its vaccine revealing that a number of rats were born with skeletal deformations, known as “wavy ribs” and “rib nodules,” to mothers injected with the mRNA vaccine. The study dismissed the anomalies as “not considered adverse:”

Conservatives Must Resist Push to Normalize LGBTism on the Right: MassResistance - The New American

Conservatives and traditional Americans must resist the relentless push to normalize homosexuality, homosexual “marriage,” and transgenderism even within the Republican Party and the broader conservative movement, warned MassResistance Field Director Arthur Schaper in an interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman. The organization, which is on the front line of the culture war, has seen a series of enormous victories, including shutting down drag queen shows for children, exposing convicted sexual predators involved in the perverse events, and removing grotesque material from libraries and schools. Schaper said the organization has also successfully forced liberal media organizations to retract attacks against MassResistance based on dishonest claims by the discredited far-left hate group known as the Southern Poverty Law Center. But much more work remains to be done, as LGBT forces are now working overtime to get established within conservatism.

Anti-chippers are the latest group of awful people we now have to worry about - IQfy

They're paranoid, don't believe in science, many have white supremacist tendencies, and most importantly they want you to know that microchip implants are super duper scary. They're anti-chippers, and they've got literally dozens more braincells than your average anti-vaxxer. So, what's their deal?

The coronavirus pandemic has the world's most brilliant minds scrambling to find treatments, vaccines, and ways to improve public health going forward. One such savior is Bill Gates, the child-loving philanthropist who founded Microsoft. His proposal is to put a teeny tiny piece of silicone under everyone's skin to improve people's lives by reducing healthcare costs and keeping track of anyone deemed unhealthy by medical professionals.

Now what could possibly be bad about health professionals and doctors keeping Americans safe and healthy? You'd be surprised (or not).

This makes me think about crypto currency for some reason. Nobody seems to be worried about the enormous implications if it ever became the standard. So many people would have no way of obtaining any wealth. Once you can no longer get a hard copy of your money, most people won't have any money and only one entity will be in command of all the money. I wonder who that entity would be?

Highly nutritious meat substitutes on the market cannot be absorbed by the human body, study flags


09 Dec 2022 --- A new study from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, has shown that plant-based meat alternatives commonly found in supermarkets hold high phytate levels. These antinutrients inhibit the absorption of minerals in the human body, making it impossible to absorb the products’ high iron contents.

The study, published in Nutrients, analyzed 44 meat substitutes sold in Swedish supermarkets, mainly made of soy and pea proteins. It also included fermented soy products of tempeh and mycoproteins – fungi.

“All products were high in iron and zinc content but low in bioavailability (except the tempeh and mycoprotein-based products). This means that the minerals pass through the gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed,” Ann-Sofie Sandberg, co-author of the study and professor of food and nutrition science at Chalmers University, tells NutritionInsight.
