The Move Toward Global Governance and Surveillance

We know it's coming.  We know that if the Evil One wants to have control over the whole world he will need to push humans to desire it.  We know that most humans now believe that the world is being ruined by Climate Change.  We know that if they believe that the world will soon be made uninhabitable for all humans that they will resort to draconian methods in order to stop it.

The World Health Organization has set its sights on establishing "a platform for global governance through health care."

So warns former GOP presidential candidate and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, who was in attendance at the ten-day annual assembly in Geneva of the World Health Assembly, considered the "decision-making body of the WHO." Bachmann, according to a report in the Washington Stand, says the international body is poised to expand the influence of WHO's mandate over health-care decisions worldwide.

To that end, it has proposed a worldwide convention in which it would assume the authority to make major decisions about health care, or health threats, and then demand that all nations submit to its decisions and rulings.

That would mean the international group – with close ties to communist China – could order lockdowns, boycotts, medical treatment such as vaccinations, and much, much more.

And the world would be required to obey.

Critics of the agenda accuse President Joe Biden of working to enable the international group to "centralize authority not just for pandemics, {but} for any health emergency in the hands of the director-general."

This is developing as WHO's deference to China at the outset of COVID-19 arguably made the pandemic catastrophically worse for the world.

Bachmann's concern is that the assembly is ready to expand WHO's authority worldwide.

"There’s a dual track process that they’re following,” she explained. "One is through a global pandemic treaty that they’re calling an ‘accord.’ The second is through a package of about 300 amendments to the international health rules.

"They’re planning to meet in New York City in September. They’ll go over the progress that they’re going to make in January. They’ll give a final completed package of the 300 amendments, together with a global pandemic treaty, to the World Health Organization and the U.N. And then they’ll meet again in Geneva next February. But one year from this week, they will take the vote. And so they intend to vote for a platform for global government and to give themselves the power that no one has ever seen before."

Give themselves the power that no one has EVER seen before!

Thankfully, I don't believe that we will be around to see this all come to fruition.  We believe that the Lord is very close to the time when the Father says, "Son, go and get your bride!  All the preparations are ready!"

Encourage each other with these words.

Soon We Won't be Able to Shop Anywhere, Drink Anything or Eat Anything

 Bud Light seemed to step in a pile of poop when they put a transgender on their can to celebrate the dude's "365 days of being a woman".  So stupid.  First off he's not a woman and never will be.  Secondly it seemed totally out of touch from the folks who drink Bud Light by the case, NASCAR folks, country folks who fish, hunt, drive trucks and appreciate a Clydesdale horse.  The backlash was pretty swift and Bud Light is being left on the shelves of stores all across the country.

The following week it Target who stepped in the pile.  They have a whole section of clothing aimed at little kids who are gender confused.  They even make a swim suit for a little boy who thinks he might be a girl.  It has a pouch to tuck his wiener into that hides it better.  When you see the freak who designed all this stuff it was just too much.  So the boycott of Target started.

Yesterday we read a blurb published by Charlie Kirk that Chick Fillet has an office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.  So here we have a Christian company that used to be closed on Sunday's, succumbing to the WOKE culture.  Charlie is recommending that Christians no longer give their money to Chick Fillet.

And how about Ford and their rainbow truck ad catering to the LGBTQ?

We can't eat, drink or shop at most places if we wanted to avoid giving our dollars to WOKE companies.  

Where does it all end?

Today I received an email from Nationwide Insurance and Investments addressed to Financial Advisors, such as myself, that was titled, The same but different: Financial planning with LGBTQ clients

So now do I go and cancel all my Nationwide contracts?

Despite progress towards equality, discrimination remains a reality for 

LGBTQ individuals. Some is ongoing and some is a shadow from the 

past. Believe it or not, it was only in June 2020 that the U.S. Supreme 

Court finally confirmed that federal protection against workplace 

discrimination applies to all LGBTQ individuals under the Civil Rights 

Act of 1964.2

Although discrimination affecting LGBTQ people, and its impacts, is 

hard to map and quantify, financial professionals should be aware that 

LGBTQ clients are likely to have experienced discrimination of one 

form or another. This discrimination in turn, particularly discrimination 

in the workplace, has resulted in negative financial ramifications in the 

lives of countless LGBTQ individuals.

As an example, workplace discrimination 

often means LGBTQ clients have 

inconsistent employment histories and 

limited opportunities for professional 

advancement. There’s evidence that lesbian 

women and gay men earn significantly less 

than their heterosexual counterparts. 

Even brief gaps in pay can over time create 

wide disparities thanks to the power of 

compounding. The opportunity cost of each 

dollar not earned and saved in one year is a 

dollar that can’t compound gains and grow 

in every year that follows. 

LGBTQ individuals have formed communities primarily in places 

most welcoming to them. These areas are most commonly large 

metropolitan cities where non-discrimination ordinances offer 

protections around housing, employment, and essential services. As 

it often happens, maintaining primary residences in large cities comes 

with higher costs of living.

Higher expenses for housing, health care, insurance and other 

essentials can alter the financial planning equation. That includes 

day-to-day costs that may limit how much LGBTQ individuals can save 

today and higher future costs of living that require bigger retirement 

accounts down the road. 

Here;  Financial planning guide for LBGTQ clients (nationwidefinancial.com)

Gag and gag again.  The article reports that there are 3 million LGBTQ folks in America.  There are 350,000,000 Americans so that is less than 1%!  So why the heck are the companies bending over backwards to cater to the 1% while risking disenfranchising the 99%??

It's a great question! 

We believe it has something to do with the CEO's and their boards who make decisions.  Many of them are very highly compensated and many of their company's major shareholders are investment firms like Blackrock, Shearson Lehman and other Wall Street firms.  Those companies are all about money and the love of money.  When you start worshipping money (Mammon) then you can't worship God.  When you don't worship God you are prone to being given over to the devil and his delusional lies.

So what happens to us when Cub, Walmart, Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Target, McDonalds, Subway, Tractor Supply and every other store we use goes totally WOKE?  Where will we shop?  How will we keep track of it all of who and why we are supposed to boycott?

Supposedly there is a App for that!  We haven't checked into yet but we've seen it advertised on some conservative sites so will get back to you when we find out.

In the meantime, keep the joy of the Lord.  Everything is going to work out fine because we win in the end!!

We Are Losing the Transgender Battle

It wasn’t too long ago that all 50 states were set to put into their constitutions that marriage, by definition, is one man and one woman.  Today if you said that you’d be labeled an extremist.  The same thing is happening today with transgenderism.  A few years ago the entire nation would have said under their breath, “that poor freak!”  Today we all have to celebrate transgenders, drag shows and men using tampons or we will be labeled a science-hating transphobe.  Read the weekly commentary below from Rapture Ready.

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

I’ve been watching the conflict over transgenderism with great wonderment. A secular mind would think that this debate is a bit silly because it’s about a very tiny part of our society, which is less than one percent. Any Christian should know that the struggle is over the fate of our nation.

The Gay Pride battle has been lost, and transgender advocates are using the same tactics to win over the minds of Americans. In the 1980s, there was no major corporation that would dare say that they support the homosexual agenda. AT&T began supporting gay events in liberal cities like San Francisco. The financial support was handled under the table. When people found out that AT&T was supporting Gay Pride, the main company said that was just the action of our local offices.

There are 5,000 major companies in the US, and I don’t know of any one of them that would now stand by biblical values on sexuality. Chick-Fil-A is often thought to be an anti-gay firm, but it has basically said it just sells chicken and doesn’t have any problem with all things LGBTQ+.

There are several activist groups that monitor all companies. One has a rating system that ranks firms on how well they fly the rainbow flag. These activities will stop by the corporate headquarters of firms and talk to human resources about how they can improve their ranking. Some major companies have dozens of people whose job is to promote the LGBTQ agenda. I did 20 years in the Air Force, and I was surprised to learn there is now an office of Inclusion and Diversity.

A major problem with the spread of transgenderism is that many support it despite the fact that it harms their gender. I found a video that had five women talking about trans rights. One of them said that it is very unfair to her as a female athlete to have former men compete in women’s sports. She said, “I need to utilize every option to go against people of my same sex.” She saw it as almost pointless to race against someone who still has a man’s body.

The other women acted as if she had just said blacks and whites should not compete against each other in sports. To promote fairness, they would gladly destroy all women’s sports.

The Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney fiasco has gotten much attention. Sales of the product are down 30%. The majority of the people who drink the product are male. This dumb move is like if the Tampons Tampax company decided to have shock Jock Howard Stern do promotions for their product.

The CEO of Anheuser-Busch InBev refuses to apologize for hiring Mulvaney. He has called the move a misunderstanding. Bud Light is now running ads that show Clydesdales horses and the American flag. The firm has offered distributors free beer. Saying they made a mistake would cause their diversity rating to go down.

I am amazed at how cultural norms can flip on their head over time. The Coon Chicken Inn was a fried chicken restaurant chain located in the Pacific Northwest from the late 1920s through the late 1940s. The chain was famous for its “Coon” logo, a caricatured African-American male rooted in 19th-century minstrel theatre and early 20th-century advertising. The most prominent manifestation of the Coon caricature was the 12ft high “Coon head” that served as the entrance to each restaurant location.

The logo is so shocking by today’s standards, you have to see it for yourself. Cut and paste Coon Chicken Inn into a Google search and press the images tab. When the restaurant was in its prime, I’m sure people had no idea there was a racial connection with the logo.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has gotten into a fight with the Walt Disney Company over a law that he helped pass. It bars teachers from talking to young students about sexuality. Years ago, it would be unthinkable for a non-parent to tell an 8-year-old boy that he may have been born the wrong sex.

The involvement of children is the key difference between the Gay Pride battle and the transgender battle. It is sick to read about children being given sex change operations and hormone treatments. Jesus said that the corruption of children is one of the greatest evils that someone can commit. We’ve reached the point where people are destroying not just a child’s mind but also their body.

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea” (Matthew 18:6 NASB).

It's Now or Never If Israel is Going to Strike Iran

 Here's one more article to add to the discussion on what Israel is going to do as Iran digs its nuclear bomb program deeper underground.

There are all kinds of developments that indicate Israel is getting closer to direct action against Iran.

One such indication is the open manner in which key officials are now talking about the need for Israeli action against the regime in Iran.

This not only has to do with the increasing aggression of the various terrorist groups that Iran has introduced into the so-called ‘resistance axis,’ but also with developments in the nuclear weapons program of the Islamic Republic.

The nuclear weapons program was back at the forefront of public and private discussions in Israel last week, and the same was true of the aggression that the Islamic Republic displays towards the Jewish state.

Let’s start with the latter. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said on several occasions that Iran is responsible for 95 percent of all the terror that has plagued Israel over the past few years.

Bibi is convinced that Iran was also behind the recent mini-wars with the terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and the increasing aggression of Hezbollah, which last week held its first military exercise close to the border with Israel.

Netanyahu also made a comment last Wednesday suggesting that Israel could take pre-emptive and sophisticated action, such as the one taken against PIJ, against Iran.

After a visit to an intelligence unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the prime minister went on to say that Israel’s enemies must know that “the future is already here” and that “the enemy must know that we are far ahead of them.”

He based this on what he had seen at the IDF base in the Negev Desert, and he later posted a video on his Twitter account saying that the IDF is making extensive use of human and artificial intelligence in the fight against Iran.

The visit to the IDF intelligence unit had made him more optimistic, he added.

This brings us to the latest developments in the nuclear crisis between Iran and Israel.

While the West, such as the European Union, seems to focus exclusively on sanctions against Iran’s human rights abuses, Israel appears to be gearing up for direct military action against Iran.

This is now happening after it became known that Iran is building a new nuclear facility deep underground near the existing nuclear plant Natanz.

In the recent past, Natanz has been the scene of mysterious explosions and other acts of sabotage that Iran attributed to Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency.

The new underground nuclear facility is located under a 1,600-meter mountain in the Zagros Mountains of north-western Iran.

Here;  Now or Never - Israel and Iran's Nuclear Weapons Program (israeltoday.co.il)

So for sure we will not be surprised if we wake up to a headline that Israel has attacked Iran.  We can expect the world will heap dismay on the Jewish State.  Wars and rumors of war.

Iran Digging Their Nuke Project Deeper Underground

The government of Iran is serious about getting nukes.  They may already have them.  The time for Israel to act could be “any day now”.  The US government has to be confusing to the Iranians.  One President Obama gives them plane loads of cash and privacy to build Nukes while another president Trump withdraws from the Obama plan and then warns them to mind their manners.  The Bible said Iran would be part of a coalition of the Last Days intent on destroying Israel and we are seeing that right before our eyes.

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

A set of satellite imagery accessed by The Associated Press has revealed that Iran is currently constructing a nuclear facility near a summit in the Zagros Mountains in central Iran which is believed to be beyond the reach of the US bunker-busting weapon, GBU-57 MOP.

The US bunker-busting bomb, on its part, has already been making headlines.

On May 2, the US military released images of the GBU-57/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator bunker buster, or MOP, at the Whiteman US Air Force Base in Missouri’s Facebook page. The facility houses US B-2 Bombers, the only aircraft capable of dropping the MOP bomb.

In a caption, the base stated that it had received two MOP bombs so a munitions squadron there could “test their performance.” However, the photos were deleted shortly after to prevent the leak of sensitive information about the composition and payload of the weapon.

The timing of the photos was called into question as they were published amid rising tensions between the US and Iran over the latter’s advancing nuclear program. Earlier this year, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl warned that Iran could make sufficient fissile for one nuclear bomb in “about 12 days,” down from one year.

On its part, Tehran is constructing underground nuclear facilities that would make it more challenging for its adversaries to carry out attacks.

Iran has been building tunnels in a mountain close to the Natanz nuclear complex, which is alleged to have been the target of numerous sabotage attacks owing to the dispute between Tehran and the West over its nuclear program.

According to experts, given the scope of the development project, Iran may be able to use the underground facility for uranium enrichment and centrifuge manufacturing. These swiftly spinning, dozens-strong, tube-shaped centrifuges spin uranium gas to enrich it.

Additional equipment would enable Iran to enrich uranium while shielded by the mountain quickly.
