Lovers of Violence

You can know things aren’t going well in a city when you offer money to encourage people not to shoot each other.

*******************

 San Francisco is launching a program in October that will offer cash to people in exchange for not shooting anyone amid rising gun crime, an effort critics have called “cash for criminals.”

Sheryl Davis, executive director of the Human Rights Commission, told Newsweek this week that the “small investments” have the power to “transform the lives of individuals, but they can also transform communities.”

Through a partnership between the Human Rights Commission and Office of Economic and Workforce Development, the Dream Keeper Fellowship will provide $300 each month to 10 people who are considered at high risk of being involved in a shooting.

United Kingdom; Accept Islam's Nasty Customs or You're Islamophobic

 Clearly the Left is becoming delusional.  They can't seem to grasp the obvious fact that Islam is a blight in every land in which it rules.  Do you see anyone trying to immigrate INTO Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Libya?  No.  But as soon as Muslim's come into nations that welcome them, like America, Sweden, UK, France, do those Muslims thank their host nations by adjusting their ways to the host's ways?  Of course not!  Because the true, evangelical Muslim wants Islam to rule the entire world with shariah law.  And once they get control of a neighborhood they begin running it with shariah law.  Any attempt to push back on the stupidity of allowing Muslims in free nations to set up their own laws is met with shouts from the delusional left of "Racist!  Xenophobe!  Hater!  Bigot!".

If there is one "woke" issue that has caused more division and anger in the UK than any other, it is that of the "multi-culturalism experience" that has been incrementally dumped on us – here and in Europe -- since the end of the Second World War.

These practices have been introduced via the ever-expanding British Muslim community, which this writer was born into, and with which he therefore shares a certain understanding and affinity.

Advocates of multi-culturalism demand not only that we should accept sweeping changes to our cultural landscape, but also that we should be far more welcoming of some of the medieval customs, traditions, and religious laws it has taken much of the world -- often at great cost in the irrevocable currency of life as well as treasure -- centuries to get rid of.

Nowhere is an odd sense of entitlement -- and a hostile reaction against it -- more epitomised than with Sharia law, which, since the early 1980s, has been allowed to flourish in the UK. According to a BBC report from 2012, which quoted Sheikh Haitham al-Haddad, a representative of the Islamic Sharia Council:

An estimated 85 Sharia councils could be operating in Britain, according to a 2009 report by the think tank Civitas.

Several bodies like the Islamic Sharia Council have seen a large increase in their cases in the past five years.

"Our cases have easily more than tripled over the past three to five years," says Sheikh al-Haddad.

"On average, every month we can deal with anything from 200 to 300 cases. A few years ago it was just a small fraction of that."

"Muslims are becoming more aligned with their faith and more aware of what we are offering them," he explained.

The introduction into Britain of a separate judicial system for Muslims has inevitably provoked a bitter reaction from non-Muslims, who see no reason for tailoring separate systems of jurisprudence based upon religion. This importation of Muslim laws and customs, which often sit at odds with the British way of life, is seen as yet another example of a "preferential treatment" that minority groups receive over and above the indigenous population. That Christians, and people of other faiths, are guiltlessly persecuted in a majority of Muslim nations only serves to increase this resentment.

Despite the fact that Sharia law -- and its association with wife-beating, child abuse, polygamy, inequality under the law and female genital mutilation (FGM), from rules for circumcision in the Sunna ("habitual practice"), intolerance for homosexuality -- and the potential of death sentences for blasphemy, apostacy, and even for being raped -- has been widely condemned, there has been no attempt made to stem the trend. The outcry from human rights groups, who see the medieval practice of FGM as unjustifiable and barbaric, appears to have done little to prevent its widespread practise.

Because of the controversy surrounding the practice of FGM, the wider implications of Sharia law -- such as permission to beat women, child marriage, polygamy, inequality under the law and blasphemy laws that curtail freedom of speech -- become a topic of debate, even in the House of Lords.

The spread of Sharia law itself has been continuing unabated.

You see the Holy Spirit is what restrains evil.  And that Holy Spirit is indwelling in each born-again follower of Christ. So you find an area on planet earth that has the highest per-capita levels of born-again, God-fearing, Bible believers and you will find less evil.  It's restrained from breaking out.

But go to a place where they rejected Jesus decades ago, or never allowed Jesus in in the first place, and you will see evil advancing sometimes at a very quick pace.

As America starts to follow our European relatives into godlessness and fewer and fewer of our citizens have the Holy Spirit, we will expect that evil, lawlessness and crime to increase.  We could also expect Islam to rise up in the neighborhoods where it's been planted.

Minneapolis has a huge population of Muslim in the Cedar Avenue neighborhood.  Some call it "little Mogadishu".  Last year the Muslims there felt emboldened enough to request that the "Calls to Prayer" could be heard in Minneapolis 5 times per day as Ramadan began.

Without Jesus there is no hope.  And then look at where America is going in regards to Jesus and you quickly understand that America is on it's way out.

But be joyful because this world is not our home and Jesus is far greater than the devil who runs this world.

How Bible Prophecy Gives Us Perspective

I've posted Pastor Greg Laurie's devo from today.  Are we excited for the return of our King Jesus?  Or are we living in disobedience and not excited for His return?  I love what Pastor says when he points out that when we live with the expectation that Christ could return soon, it changes the way we live.

**************************************************** 

Revelation 1:3   God blesses the one who reads the words of this prophecy to the church, and he blesses all who listen to its message and obey what it says, for the time is near 

Have you ever wondered what will happen in the future? Have you ever wished you could see what will take place? In some ways, I’m glad I don’t know the future. God knows the future, I know Him, and that’s enough.

The book of Revelation, however, gives us a glimpse into the future. In fact, the Bible says there’s a special blessing promised to those who hear and keep the words of this book (see Revelation 1:3).

Revelation means “the unveiling,” because it is not God’s desire to conceal but to reveal. And one thing I’ve learned from studying this great book is that God has a plan, and everything is right on schedule. I’ve also discovered that the best is yet to come, and as followers of Jesus Christ, we win in the end.

When we study Revelation, and Bible prophecy in general, we gain perspective. When we learn about the future, it motivates us to live righteously in the present. And how we view the future is important. If we believe that Jesus could return at any moment, it will affect the way that we live.

For instance, when you were a child and did something wrong, maybe your mother said, “Just wait until your father gets home!” Did you look forward to his arrival?

No, you didn’t. When you heard his car pull into the driveway and knew he was walking up to the door, you were afraid.

On the other hand, if you were good and didn’t get into trouble that day, you could hardly wait until your father got home.

Now let’s apply that to the Lord’s return. If we’re right with God, then we’re looking forward to it. But if we’ve disobeyed Him, then maybe we’re dreading it.

Our belief in the imminent return of Jesus has an effect on us and on the way we live.

Texas Passes Abortion Heartbeat Rule

As doctors and incubators continue to improve and save tiny, tiny babies delivered at 20 weeks and less, it’s getting harder for the baby killers to deny that the tiny “blob of tissue” isn’t a human being. The building blocks for tearing down Roe vs. Wade and making baby killing illegal all over the USA continues to advance. God bless Texas!

*************************

TEXAS (LifeSiteNews) – UPDATE, September 1, 2021: Texas became the first state in the nation Wednesday to effectively ban abortions on babies with beating hearts, as the United States Supreme Court declined to act on the abortion lobby’s last-minute petition to block the Texas Heartbeat Act from taking effect. 

While it remains to be seen what the Court will do over the long term, for now the law has already begun to save lives. NBC News reported Tuesday evening that “all 11 of the Planned Parenthood health centers in Texas” have “stopped scheduling visits after Sept. 1 for abortions past six weeks of pregnancy,” and that Whole Woman’s Health claims that its “four clinics in Texas will also comply with the law and prohibit abortion at seven weeks or less depending on the ultrasound results and if cardiac activity is detected.”

MN Nurses Sound Alarm on Covid Shot

We are sorry for all the Covid “vaccine” posts we have done in the past weeks. It’s just a really big deal when governments start bullying and bribing their citizens to get a shot. And then they encourage private employers to threaten their employees with termination unless they get the shot. These MN nurses are complaining about the fact they are seeing more “vaccination” problems than they are seeing Covid patients. And yes, the world is in full training for the actual Mark of the Beast. Jesus must be close. I’m hearing from many readers that their interest in things of this world aren’t holding the same interest for them anymore. It’s like we can all see where this is going and we are really yearning to go home. “This world is NOT your home.”

*************************

Minnesota nurses say that injuries related to the coronavirus vaccine are underreported as hospital administrators discourage use of the adverse reaction reporting system.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a government-administered database that health care professionals are required to use to report adverse reactions their patients have to vaccines. However, Minnesota nurses say that negative reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine are underreported as hospitals discourage their staff from recording them.

These reports that the COVID shot may be more dangerous than the public is led to believe came by way of a town hall hosted by Rep. Erik Mortensen on Friday. The town hall was comprised of about two dozen nurses who came together to share their experiences working with the vaccine. Alpha News provided a livestream of the event.

One of the nurses who spoke out said that her and her friends at other hospitals are “seeing more reactions with their patients post-vaccination than they’re seeing COVID patients.” This statement generated broad agreement from many of the other nurses who seem to have witnessed this same trend.

Meanwhile, this nurse said her and her associates are “laughed at for bringing it [the side effects] up … There’s such an insane sense of bullying going on that people aren’t even wanting to speak up.”

Was Hurricane Ida Divine Retribution?

 We have a book that’s probably 15 years old that lists all the worst catastrophes in American history and links them directly to something America was doing in regards to cursing Israel. Could this hurricane that just destroyed New Orleans AGAIN be added to the list?

*******************************

In February 2020, Israel365 News predicted that any attempts by a White House administration to institute an “anti-covenant” policy that divided the land of Israel would inevitably result in a natural catastrophe of historic proportions. That prediction came true this week as Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met with President Biden for the first time and as Bennett flew home, Hurricane Ida made landfall. This prediction was not the result of prescience or prophecy but is simply the latest in a historical series so compelling that it verges on absolute certainty.

Ida is currently tied with Hurricane Laura from last year and the Last Island Hurricane of 1856 as the state’s most powerful storm ever. Significantly, Ida made landfall just as Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett began his flight back to Jerusalem after his first face-to-face meeting with US President Joe Biden. The focus of their meeting was on the existential threat of Iran’s nuclear program that the Biden administration is hoping to rejuvenate through a reinstated Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran. But their discussions also dealt with the future of Judea and Samaria. Biden is dedicated to a “Two-State solution” which would create a Palestinian state similar to Gaza inside of Israel, ethnically cleansed of Jews, with its ethnically cleansed capital in Jerusalem.

Doctor Who Discovered HIV Says “Don’t Get Covid Shot”

 I had another phone call and text from the MN Department of Health. They want to make sure every man, woman and child get the Covid shot. They offer money, prizes, football tickets and then resort to coercion if the prizes didn’t get you.  So here’s what a super-smart Dr is saying about Covid shots. Read the last sentence twice as did let it sink in about coercion and mandates.  BTW, a good friend just told me that his fully vaccinated adult son and the son’s fully vaccinated girlfriend both have Covid. I repeat;  It’s Not A Vaccine!

***************************

First considered is the thinking of Dr. Luc Montagnier, a French virologist and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).  He has a doctorate in medicine.  But there is a lot more to conclude he is a great expert: He has received more than 20 major awards, including the French National Order of Merit and the Légion d’honneur.  He is a recipient of the Lasker Award, the Scheele Award, the Louis-Jeantet Prize for medicine , the Gairdner Award  the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement, King Faisal International Prize (known as the Arab Nobel Prize), and the Prince of Asturias Award.

He has worked hard to expose the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines, still experimental but sadly may soon be fully approved.  The vaccines don’t stop the virus, argues the prominent virologist, they do the opposite — they “feed the virus,” and facilitate its development into stronger and more transmittable variants.  These new virus variants will be more resistant to vaccination and may cause more health implications than their “original” versions.

Montagnier refers to the mass vaccine program as an “unacceptable mistake” and are a “scientific error as well as a medical error.”  His assertion is that “The history books will show that…it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.”  In other words: “There are antibodies, created by the vaccine,” forcing the virus to “find another solution” or die.  “This is where the variants are created.  It is the variants that “are a production and result from the vaccination.”  Stop and think about these thoughts.  Have you heard a better explanation of variant creation?  I doubt it.

He is talking about the mutation and strengthening of the virus from a phenomenon known as Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE).  ADE is a mechanism that increases the ability of a virus to enter cells and cause a worsening of the disease.

Data from around the world confirms ADE occurs in SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, says Montagnier. “You see it in each country, it’s the same: the curve of vaccination is followed by the curve of deaths.”  Sounds like what we are now hearing more about, namely escalating breakthrough infections that kill some people.  And this spiral into disaster may have no end.

In a November 2020 documentary he emphasized harmful and irrational mask mandates as well as lockdowns, quarantines, abuses of government overreach, and supported use of effective COVID treatments such as hydroxychloroquine.  The film was banned by YouTube and most other mainstream outlets.  At that time Fauci had succeeded in blocking wide use of the cheap generic based treatments for COVID and pursued the wait for the vaccine strategy.

Montagnier has been a vocal critic of the mass vaccination campaign.  In a letter to the President and Judges of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel, which unrolled the world’s speediest and the most massive vaccination campaign, Montagnier argued for its suspension.  He said: “I would like to summarize the potential dangers of these vaccines in a mass vaccination policy.”  Here they are:

1. Short-term side effects: these are not the normal local reactions found for any vaccination, but serious reactions involve the life of the recipient such as anaphylactic shock linked to a component of the vaccine mixture, or severe allergies or an autoimmune reaction up to cell aplasia.  In this group we should include a number of lethal blood problems involving clots and loss of platelets that cause strokes, brain bleeds and other impacts.

Lack of vaccine protection:

2.1 In induced antibodies do not neutralize a viral infection, but on the contrary facilitate it depending on the recipient.  The latter may have already been exposed to the virus asymptomatically.  Naturally induced antibodies may compete with the antibodies induced by the vaccine.

2.2 The production of antibodies induced by vaccination in a population highly exposed to the virus will lead to the selection of variants resistant to these antibodies.  These variants can be more virulent or more transmissible.  This is what we are seeing now.  An endless virus-vaccine race that will always turn to the advantage for the virus.

Long-term effects: Contrary to the claims of the manufacturers of messenger RNA vaccines, there is a risk of integration of viral RNA into the human genome. Our cells have the ability to reverse transcriptase from RNA into DNA. Although this is a rare event, its passage through the DNA of germ cells and its transmission to future generations cannot be excluded.

His bottom line: “Faced with an unpredictable future, it is better to abstain.”  But most people will find it extremely difficult to resist all the coercion and vaccine mandates.

Critical Thinking 091 About Covid

 According the CDC's own website there have been 384 children between the ages of 0-17 who have died from Covid in the past 18 months since the China virus arrived from China.  Only 384!!  And yet we have our kids masked, social distanced and terrorized against this virus.  You can go Google it for yourselves and figure out how many children drown in America every year.  Clearly the risk of drowning is much more dangerous to children 0-17 than Covids.

So how can we think about this past 1 1/2 years of lockdowns, shutdowns, masks and social distancing?

Well, one thing I think we all would agree on, Covid has been used by the Evil One as one more divisive topic in America.  We divided over Trump, flags, bowing at National Anthem, Black Lives Matter and 15 other things and now we can divide even further over Covid vaccines, masking out kids as they head back to school, Delta charging $200/month for the unvaxed employees and soon we will have a major divide over "Vaccine Passports".

So let's do some critical thinking about the COVIDs.

Anyone who has been to college will recognize that course number. Freshman courses start at 100, and the numbers get larger as you progress. Numbers below 100 mean that you need to make up for what you didn’t learn in high school. A lot of Americans simply can’t get to the starting blocks. They know they don’t trust the government and they don’t trust the media, but then they watch PMSNBC and take the CDC at its word. It’s clear that their cognitive isn’t connected, so they can’t even develop cognitive dissonance. Their brains are off and their transmission is stuck in Park. Let’s see if we can at least turn the key.

There is one absolute truth that must be understood as we begin. As Ayn Rand famously said, something cannot be both “A” and “not-A” at the same time. This is the Law of Non-Contradiction. A proposition cannot be both true and false at once.  Another fallacy is simply presenting the word of another as gospel. This “Appeal to Authority” is a way for the person making the assertion to avoid confronting any information that might contradict the “authority’s” statements. 

With Anthony Fauci as the face of the CDC (He’s at NIAID, but few notice the distinction.), we must ask a simple question. Has Anthony Fauci been consistent in his advice and practices? Many on the Left simply take his latest pronouncement at face value, never remembering that he has been all over the map on masks. In the beginning he said, in concert with CDC recommendations, that public masking was of no benefit. Then he flipped back and forth, making excuses for his earlier positions.” Once we get the vaccine, we won’t need masks.” Now CDC Director Walensky says the vax doesn’t matter. You have to wear a mask. Critical Thinking tells us that Fauci and the CDC are not to be trusted because they can’t keep their story straight. Were they wrong before, or are they wrong now? Were they lying? Heaven forbid! All we need to do is check the data. Masks in public don’t help. The CDC is stuck on stupid.

One example isn’t enough for this crew. Fauci told us that we needed 60% of people to get vaccinated for us to have “herd immunity.” Wikipedia notes that this is “indirect protection” that everyone gets when enough people become immune. It’s a concept, not a number, and it doesn’t say how that immunity arrives. But as more people got jabbed, suddenly the number crept up to 70%, 80%, and now everyone has to get the shot to get a “vaccine passport.” Critical analysis tells us that, since the goalposts are changing, this diktat from a government agency is suspect. But there’s more.

We’ve been lectured that the best immunity comes from the shot. Now CDC Director Walensky tells us that it’s not that good. Fully vaccinated people can readily spread the Delta Variant. The immunity it confers is waning, and we’ll need a booster. So the critical thinker has to ask if there’s another way to become immune. What if I have already had COVID? Believe it or not, Wikipedia, provides an answer. The concept of herd immunity was developed from naturally acquired measles immunity in the 1930s. Is it possible that the same is true for COVID? 

A large Israeli study shows that getting the Wuhan Flu and recovering confers “durable immunity,” thirteen times better than the vaccine. The National Institutes of Health leans on a modeling study to say that the vaccine is better. But both can’t be true. So the critical thinker must ask why the results conflict. The NIH funded study looked at mechanisms, but the Israeli study looked at people. Mechanisms don’t get sick, people do. So the NIH proclamation doesn’t fit with the facts on the ground. Another government agency has lied to us. How long have they been lying? And about what subjects?

Every night for about a year, the Drive-by Media ran chirons with COVID case and death tickers. These stopped when Joe Biden occupied the White House. That alone should raise our antennae. Now with the Delta Variant, we’re getting panic porn about huge case increases. “Hospitals are being overcrowded” is the line, and the message is “Delta will kill you, get the shot!”

By now, the critical thinker will ask why hospitals are being overcrowded. This time, the answer is a bit harder to find, in that the MSM has simply not reported it. They have instead followed the CDC line that Hydroxychloroquine is hocus-pocus. They trumpeted a study that Lancet had to withdraw supposedly proving that doctors who prescribe HCQ are quacks. And a number of states prohibited the use of this safe and effective drug. The same thing is happening with Ivermectin. On August 26, ABC News trumpeted the fact that some people were getting problems from veterinary doses of Ivermectin. They didn’t report the fact that people had to resort to veterinary medications because of roadblocks thrown up by the powers that be.

It would be possible to go on into the wee hours with examples of how our “betters” at government agencies tell us to do things that are opposite to what the data shows. The very best face we can put on this is that there is disagreement. But the government insists that it is right, and all dissent must be suppressed. This should again suggest that the government is incorrect. After all, if the best argument that can be made is to shout us down, they the people shouting are almost certainly wrong.

Vigorous scientific dissent and discussion are excellent ways to reach truthful answers. Dictatorial responses only demonstrate a desire for power. Careful thinkers should rise up in firm opposition to petty dictators. For every complicated question, there’s a simple answer that’s wrong. Diktat’s are those simple answers. We must be free to make our own decisions.

As I continue to harvest stories from friends and family about the crazy guy on the airplane who weighed 350 lbs of unhealthy obesity yet complained about how anti-maskers are making life "unsafe" for him, or the family friend who compared Civil War deaths to COVID deaths and declared that they are both equal in their threat to America...you start to wonder if something more is happening here?  Could it be that a large percentage of American's are becoming delusional?

2 Thessalonians is VERY CLEAR that during the final 7 years before Christ returns to earth that GOD WILL SEND GREAT DELUSION on the folks who had heard the Gospel before the rapture but rejected the free gift.  And if great things of God cast their shadows forward...is it possible that we are starting to live in the shadow of this delusion?  Something to think about anyway.
