"History Is Teaching Us That These People Will Never Stop ... Taking Your Rights"; Calgary Pastor Drives Out Police from His Church, AGAIN - The New American

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” How apt are the Bard’s words in this global climate of fear and oppression. Yet courage begets courage, and in Canada, as the persecution of Christians continues, calls to action are being heard from pastors across the provinces. One church in Edmonton, Alberta, is already underground.

Alberta Pastor James Coates’s congregation, GraceLife Church, has been meeting in an undisclosed location since early April, after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in the name of health and safety, barricaded the facility with triple fencing to prevent parishioners from entering. Such drastic measures, however, have not deterred Coates, who, jailed for 35 days for keeping his church open in violation of Alberta Health Services’ (AHS) COVID regulations, continues to preach “in obedience with the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Meanwhile, as Pastor Artur Pawlowski in Calgary, Alberta, was preparing to start services at his church this past Saturday, a group of police officers and a public health inspector arrived to deliver a court order allegedly permitting them to enter the sanctuary and stand at the back “to observe.”

Judge tosses lawsuit by female student athletes to block transgender athletics policy | Just The News

AConnecticut policy that allows students to compete in high school sports according to their gender identity is safe — at least until another transgender girl competes in girls' sports.

U.S. District Judge Robert Chatigny ruled Sunday that a sex discrimination lawsuit by track athletes Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith and Ashley Nicoletti was not "justiciable at this time."

That's because the COVID-19 pandemic preempted their athletics season last year, and the two plaintiffs who have not graduated do not face prospective competition from transgender girls, Chatigny said.

German police ransack home of judge in landmark face mask case - Frontline News

2020News yesterday reported Weimar District Court judge Christian Dettmar was subjected to a police search of his house, office, private premises, and car, and his cell phone confiscated. Dettmar delivered the April 8, 2021 decision that two Weimar schools were prohibited from requiring students to wear mouth-nose coverings of any kind, in contravention of government COVID policy.

The case marked the first time that evidence was presented before a German court regarding the scientific soundness and necessity of the prescribed anti-COVID measures, reported 2020News.

He wrote: “…the children are not only endangered in their mental, physical and spiritual well-being by the obligation to wear face masks during school hours and to keep their distance from each other and from other persons, but, in addition, they are already being harmed. At the same time, this violates numerous rights of the children and their parents under the law, the constitution and international conventions. This applies in particular to the right to free development of the personality and to physical integrity from Article 2 of the Basic Law as well as to the right from Article 6 of the Basic Law to upbringing and care by the parents (also with regard to measures for preventive health care and ‘objects’ to be carried by children)…”

Parents Revolt After Texas’s No. 1 District Tries To Institutionalize Racism

A suburb of Dallas, Texas has exploded into national media coverage and arrests of school board members after parents found out what their schools have been teaching in the name of “racial justice.” They’re fighting back with lawsuits and challengers for two school board seats in an election that finishes May 1.

Carroll Independent School District of Southlake is the top-achieving school district in Texas. It has no racial achievement gaps, which is nearly unheard of. That’s because Southlake attracts high-achieving families of all races.

The local median income is more than four times the national average and poverty there is statistically nonexistent. According to district data, “microaggressions,” bullying, and racially charged incidents happen approximately three times per month in the district of 8,500 students, meaning they involve 0.3 percent of students a year.

Yet, beginning in 2018, the district rushed into an eye-popping “cultural competence” plan after two videos of students singing the n-word along with rappers went viral on social media. Media outlets went nuts on the story, and so did local school board meetings, where sometimes-crying taxpayers, parents, and students spent hours insisting their lives have been forever damaged by the kind of “institutional racism” in Southlake illustrated by the rap sing-alongs.

They weren’t complaining that rappers stud songs with racial slurs, or that parents let their kids listen to such music. They were complaining about things like teasing and graffiti. They demanded the school district end such annoyances, and even treat them like crimes, or be convicted in the court of public opinion of enabling “institutional racism.”

Epicurious cuts out beef recipes, citing climate change: 'We know that home cooks want to do better' - TheBlaze

Condé Nast's culinary magazine Epicurious announced Monday that it will no longer publish beef recipes, saying it no longer wants to give "airtime to one of the world's worst climate offenders."

What are the details?

Epicurious tweeted, "Today we announced that Epicurious is cutting out beef. It won't appear in new Epi recipes, articles, newsletters, or on social. This isn't a vendetta against cows or people who eat them. It's a shift about sustainability; not anti-beef but pro-planet."

Judicial Watch: Documents Show California State Officials Coordinated with Big Tech and Biden Campaign to Censor and Remove Americans' 2020 Election Posts

How many times have we heard the argument that social media censorship is not an attack on the First Amendment because “it’s not the government doing the censorship”??

We have more than enough proof that (Democrat) government officials are indeed calling the shots and silencing Americans with whom they politically disagree.

Idaho House And Senate Pass Bill Banning Critical Race Theory In Schools

An Idaho measure to ban critical race theory in the state’s schools is heading to Republican Gov. Brad Little’s desk.

HB 377 was approved by the House 57 to 12 last Thursday — along party lines — and passed in the Senate 28 to 8 on Monday. If signed by Little, the bill would prohibit teachers from forcing students to “affirm, adopt or adhere to” any doctrines that claim any people of any race, ethnicity, sex, or religion are responsible for past actions of those in their identity group.

The bill also states that “No distinction or classification of students shall be made on account of race or color.”

Scientism: Is Worship of Science Replacing Religion? - The New American

In a January 1931 debate with writer G.K. Chesterton, famed “monkey trial” lawyer Clarence Darrow essentially stated that science had refuted religion. In fact, his implication was that science could replace religion.

It may seem ironic that the debate’s topic was “Will the World Return to Religion?” and that now, 90 years later, we’re lamenting how people are leaving what they in 1931 supposedly had already left. That is to say, a recent Gallup poll showed that for the first time in American history, less than 50 percent of the population holds membership in a house of worship.

The National Pulse opened with this statistic in a Sunday essay entitled “New American Divinity — Part I: Scientism.” Writer Noelle Garnier discusses how faith in science appears to be supplanting faith in God and posits that the coronavirus situation — with scientists such as Anthony Fauci front and center appearing as secular saviors — may spur a further conversion to “scientism.”

China’s social credit program creeps into Canada - The Sunday Guardian Live

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: China’s Orwellian “social credit system” that records the social and financial behaviour of individuals and corporations across China, using a vast surveillance system, has expanded globally, and is now openly operational at the renowned Haidilao hot pot restaurant, in Western Canada.

Ryan Pan, a manager with Haidilao Hot Pot in Vancouver confirmed that over 60 surveillance cameras have been installed in the restaurant at the request of the Haidilao corporation, as part of the social credit system in China. He said that the Vancouver location has 30 tables with two cameras assigned to each table.

When asked specifically why Haidilao required so many cameras to monitor staff and patrons, Ryan Pan said that the cameras were installed to “punish” staff if they didn’t adhere to corporate standards and to “people track”. Pan also said that the video is sent back to China but declined to say why this was, other than to say the reason for this was “secret.”

Founded in Sichuan, China, the Haidilao opened up at two locations in the Vancouver region, the most recent of which was opened in 2018 in a former Swiss Chalet restaurant in the trendy Kitsilano district of Vancouver. The location is within walking distance of the home rented by Huawei for staff temporarily re-located to Vancouver to assist Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer (CFO) of the telecom giant. Following her arrest and hearing over a provisional US extradition request for fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud in order to circumvent US sanctions against Iran. The Haidilao location is no more than 10 minutes to Meng Wanzhou’s mansion and the Peoples Republic of China Consulate. Haidilao has over 935 locations around the world and more than 36 million VIP members and 60,000 plus staff.

CDC Punishes Scientist For Dissenting Views About COVID Vaccines

The Centers for Disease Control pulled a world-renowned expert off a vaccine safety advisory committee after he publicly disagreed with the agency’s pause of the Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine.

In an email, the CDC’s Dr. Amanda Cohn said Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard Medical School was being removed for communicating to the public his expert opinion, which differed from what the CDC was saying publicly at the time. Four days later, however, the CDC reinstated the use of the vaccine, effectively adopting Kulldorff’s recommendation after punishing him for publicly communicating it.

“It has been brought to CDC and ACIPs attention recent public statements you’ve made regarding policy opinions that appear to be pre-determined prior to complete review of data,” Cohn wrote Kulldorff in an April 19 email. “We understand and appreciate that VaST members have personal opinions and we do not object to the expression of those opinions. However, we expect members to be objective and devoid of any appearance of bias… Therefore, CDC is respectfully ending your membership on VaST effective today.”

2006 Pima County, AZ Investigation Found Computer Technician Exported Election Data from Voting Machines and Manipulated It Offline to Get the Outcome They Desired

A reader sent this on the similarities between today between the Maricopa County elections audit and the  2006 RTA bond election in Pima county AZ (Tucson).

This $2 Billion proposal was to add a sales tax for roads. It was defeated on the four prior occasions, and polls had it losing for the 5th time. But the bond measure won in a landslide 60/39. The lawsuit brought by the Libertarian Party found that election databases were replaced, and more.

Newly Declassified Report: FBI Spied on Americans without a Warrant in Search For 'Right-Wing Domestic Extremists' Despite Being Warned it was Unconstitutional

The FBI once again spied on American citizens without court-ordered FISA warrants.

The FBI went around the FISA court and looked through NSA communications in search of ‘far-right domestic extremists’ despite being warned several years earlier it was unconstitutional (Fourth Amendment violation).

I encourage anyone interested in exploring this topic to read or listen to Hugh Nibleys lectures on "Science Fiction" where he points out the flaws in the Religion of Science....calling it Science Fiction.

The biggest take away from his talk that pertains to our day is the false belief of a noble scientist. He says the idea of a noble scientist who has no bias, no agenda, no ulterior motives is a fable because all scientists are people who are trying to make a name for themselves, or a dollar for their company or win their next research grant.

Don't tell Mitt. Afterall by his own admission he has never seen any evidence of voting fraud.

Americans Must “Dramatically Reduce” Meat & Dairy Intake to Meet Biden Climate Goals - The New American

The climate-alarmist war against meat continues. Although Joe Biden hasn’t yet come out and said it, climate hysterics are pushing the narrative that, in order to meet the president’s ambitious emissions-reduction goals — “to achieve a 50-52 percent reduction from 2005 levels” — Americans will have to radically change their meat-based diets, and quickly.

Brent Kim, a program officer for the Center for a Livable Future’s Food Production and Public Health Program at Johns Hopkins University, told the Daily Mail that Americans will need to “dramatically reduce” their meat and dairy intake in order to avoid the worst climate-change scenarios.

“To avoid the most catastrophic climate change scenarios, the evidence is clear that citizens in high meat consuming countries — such as the United States — need to dramatically reduce their meat and dairy intake,” Kim said.

Archbishop Viganò: Upcoming Vatican Conference on Health Helping Build "Antichrist" "New World Order" - The New American
Vaccine developers, Mormon elders, pro-abortion Chelsea Clinton, population control advocate Jane Goodall, a New Age activist, a prominent UK Muslim scholar, and a pro-abortion American actress known for posing nude, are all speakers at an upcoming Vatican conference on ‘health.’ There are only two Catholic clergy listed amongst the 114 speakers.
* * *
This Conference — along with the Council for Inclusive Capitalism of Lynn Forester de Rothschild, the Global Compact on Education, and the inter-religious Pantheon to be held in June in Astana, Kazakhstan — is the umpteenth scandalous confirmation of a disturbing departure of the current Hierarchy, and in particular its highest Roman members, from Catholic orthodoxy. The Holy See has deliberately renounced the supernatural mission of the Church, making itself the servant of the New World Order and Masonic globalism in an antichristic counter-magisterium. The same Roman Dicasteries, occupied by people ideologically aligned with Jorge Mario Bergoglio and protected and promoted by him, now continue unrestrained in their implacable work of demolishing Faith, Morals, ecclesiastical discipline, and monastic and religious life, in an effort as vain as it is unprecedented to transform the Bride of Christ into a philanthropic association enslaved to the Strong Powers. The result is the super-imposition over the true Church of a sect of heretical and depraved Modernists who are intent on legitimizing adultery, sodomy, abortion, euthanasia, idolatry, and any perversion of the intellect and will. The true Church is now eclipsed, denied and discredited by her very Pastors, betrayed even by the one who occupies the highest Throne.

NEW: Biden Justice Department Weighing Domestic Terrorism Law to Target 'White Supremacists'

The Biden Justice Department is “actively considering” whether to give prosecutors new authorities to bring specific charges against “domestic terrorists.”

“One of the things we’re looking at is would we need new authorities,” Brad Wiegmann, deputy assistant attorney general for the department’s national security division, said Thursday.
