On the Outer Limits of an Ominous Orwellian Encroachment

EXTREME WEATHER

The number of people killed in floods, landslides and other weather-related incidents since the start of this year’s monsoon season in India has now reached 1,058 killed, with 1.8 million people displaced. The season typically runs from June to September, but can last longer in some places. In Kerala, a 1-in-100 years flood has occurred two years in a row.

In Poland, at least five people were killed and 150 injured by a series of lightning strikes in a mountain range. Rescuers said hikers ignored signs of an approaching storm.

In Turkey, extremely heavy rain hit Istanbul and other cities on August 17, causing severe flooding in which one person lost their life. Four months’ worth of rain fell in 90 minutes.

A sudden shift in temperatures above Antarctica could bring icy ‘Beast from the East’ weather events to New Zealand next month, making the arrival of spring look like deep winter. NIWA forecaster Ben Noll said there is potential for a ‘Sudden Stratospheric Warming’, or SSW, to take place next week. “These events are rare in the southern hemisphere,” Mr Noll said. “There have only been two in New Zealand in recorded times: one in Sept 2002 and in Sept 2010.” Mr Noll said NIWA’s forecasting indicates plenty of unsettled weather during Sept and Oct, with frequent cold spells. But there’s a possibility that the weather from the event could go to Australia or South America or it could go over the ocean region.

Typhoon Bailu swept through Taiwan this weekend with flooding rain and mudslides. One person was killed and nine others were injured. Bailu has now hit southeastern China where it is expected to bring gales and torrential rains. This is the 11th typhoon this year.

48 lightning strikes were detected within 300 miles of the North Pole last Saturday. The National Weather Service stated: “This is one of the furthest north lightning strikes in Alaska forecaster memory.” The globalist media blames manmade climate change, of course.

On Saturday, a newly formed tropical depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Dorian, the fourth tropical storm of this Atlantic hurricane season. Dorian is moving west and could reach hurricane strength Tuesday before it interacts with Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic on Wednesday and Thursday. After Thursday, it’s too soon to tell where Dorian might go and if it’ll maintain its strength.

In Montana, a hail storm with 70-mile-per-hour winds killed or maimed over 11,000 pelicans, cormorants and other birds when it rolled over a central lake and nesting area.

Forecasters say a storm system near the southern coast of Florida could develop into a tropical depression or a tropical storm during the next few days (90% chance).

In New Mexico, the swim beach at Cochiti Lake closed due to a toxic blue-green algae bloom. Spokesperson Elizabeth Lockyear said this is the first documented case of toxic blue-green algae at Cochiti Lake.

In California, firefighters are trying to contain a wildfire threatening about 1,100 homes and prompting evacuation orders for nearly 4,000 people.

In Rancho Haven, Nevada, the Long Valley fire is estimated now to be 300 acres with no containment.

In Australia, a raging wildfire engulfed a Queensland island, killing wildlife and causing evacuations.

In other parts of the world: “Over 9,000 people were evacuated as flames spread this week across Spain’s Canary Islands. Wildfires ignited in Alaska. Denmark dispatched firefighters to Greenland to control fires close to population centers. Major wildfires have burned through Siberia, and environmental activists expect them to set a new record for burn area in Russia by the end of the season. Part of the reason for the recent fires is the heat. July was the hottest July on record. Many parts of Europe shattered heat records in France, Germany, Poland, Spain, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and the UK. The heat dried out vegetation and left huge swaths of forests and grasslands primed to ignite…Years of actively suppressing natural fires have allowed trees, grasses, and shrubs to accumulate at unnatural levels in many parts of the world.”

In Brazil, the Amazon fires are claimed to be the worst ever, and there’s more blame going around than Bayer has aspirin. Some of the photos shown are old. Climate alarmists are having a field day. Yet NASA said “as of August 16, 2019, an analysis of NASA satellite data indicated that total fire activity across the Amazon basin this year has been close to the average in comparison to the past 15 years. From Zero Hedge: Amazon wildfires aren’t that uncommon. They’re a natural part of the rainforest’s process of self-restoration. In total, this year, fires are up by 83% compared with last year. The globalists are using the fires as an excuse to rage at Brazil’s President Bolsonaro and his environmental policies; however, Brazil is actually third in wildfires over the last 48 hours: 6,902 fires in Angola, 3,395 in the Congo, and 2,127 in Brazil. As in the Amazon and California, wildfires aren’t all that uncommon in Central Africa.

EARTHQUAKES

In California, a magnitude-5 earthquake Thursday in Inyo County’s Coso Basin was California’s largest since July 6, the day of the 7.1 Ridgecrest quake. Every day since July 7, the area at the northern edge of the Mojave Desert has been rattled by at least a dozen quakes of magnitude 2 and 3. There have been 18 earthquakes of magnitude 4 in those 7½ weeks, but none of magnitude 5 until Thursday.

An August 18 report stated that Kansas and Oklahoma had been hit by 65 earthquakes within 7 days. Reno, Kansas, was hit by 11 quakes, the biggest a 4.1.

Other quakes around 6.0: A 6.0 off the coast of Vanuatu on August 20, a 6.0 off the coast of Australia on August 21, a 5.9 off the coast of Fiji on August 22, and another 6.0 quake off the coast of Vanuatu.

 DAYS OF LOT RETURNED

In Ottawa, Canada, after a drag queen Storytime event at Westcliffe Community Centre, parents and children danced along with the scantily-clad drag queen. Evangelical street preacher Dorre Love responded to an invitation for questions. “I have a question,” he said. “What are you going to do when you stand before God and He judges every one of you here for your sins?” The video on various sites has been removed, but it’s on YouTube so far. The parents tried to silence the preacher and make him leave, but he kept preaching to them about their sinful doings and their need to turn to Christ. He was able to reach one parent who left with her child.

In Canada, a single dad faces a human rights complaint for asking a potential babysitter’s gender when the person responded to his ad.

“Veggie Tales” co-creator Phil Vischer says it’s a matter of time before Christian filmmakers are forced to address LGBT issues from a biblical perspective because children see these storylines in secular movies and on TV. He said when the PBS children’s show “Arthur” featured a same-sex wedding, the most striking thing was the portrayal of the kids. None asked questions. Their reaction was, ‘Oh, OK! Great!’” Vischer said, “If I get pressure from Hollywood to show two men getting married…my pushback is: ‘No, I won’t. Because that’s not what I believe is best for kids.”

A 6th grade Ohio boy was punished by being pulled out of gym class in front of his classmates the day after his art teacher overheard him telling three girls that his friend – who is “transitioning” to a girl – is “a boy, not a girl.” The 11-year-old had been warned by the assistant principal earlier that morning that “there might be consequences” to asserting his friend is a boy, and referring to him with male pronouns.

The gay news site Pink News posted then deleted a fawning profile of a gay couple with a troubling age gap. The article reported that Kayleb is 22 while the older man, Mark, is 55. This is creepy enough, but it gets worse: the two have been “dating” for 6 years. Kayleb claims he was 17 when he met Mark, but the math puts him at 16. Either way, it’s repulsive and wrong. It gets still worse. Mark was Kayleb’s “first boyfriend,” and they originally had a “sugar daddy arrangement.” Translation: A 49-year-old man was paying a high school boy for sex. This isn’t something a widely-read LGBT site should applaud.

In Florida, a 12-year-old kidnap victim escaped by jumping out of a moving pickup truck. The boy was walking home from school and accepted a ride from a stranger because “he looked nice.” After the boy got into the car, the man (26-year-old Timothy H. Miller) gave him a creepy smile and asked if he had any drugs. When the boy tried to open the car door, Miller sped up to stop him from getting out, but the boy was able to jump out. Witnesses blocked Miller’s car and detained him till police arrived.

In Cleveland, Ohio, police officer Soloman Nhiwatiwa attempted to lure a 12-year-old girl who was waiting for the school bus into his car, and when this was not successful, he filmed himself urinating on her. He should have been fired before this incident. Why wasn’t he? Nhiwatiwa was hired in 2014 and had been disciplined 3 times by the police dept besides having a number of traffic violations.

In Wisconsin, an Obama-appointed federal judge is forcing taxpayers to provide sex reassignment surgery and hormonal procedures for low-income “transgenders” who get free medical care.

This video report states that there are over 20 million victims worldwide in the 32-billion-dollars a year global human trafficking industry. In 2016, 7,621 cases were reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline in the US. The border state of California had the most cases reported of any other state.

INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND

A Washington state mother, Jessi McCombs, says she went through a terrifying experience early Monday morning when a pair (a man and woman) claiming to be Child Protective Services agents demanded she hand over her 4-year-old child. “She said she was there about my son’s injuries and they were there to take my son into custody. My son doesn’t have any injuries, so I was really confused and thought for sure she had the wrong house until she told me his name and birthday; she knew my name,” she said. After some back and forth, McCombs still refused to give up her child, and eventually the strangers left. A neighbor spotted the same strangers driving around the complex later that day in what looked like an old police car.

The American Family Association is warning parents about the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why saying, “The whole series is a dark and demonic primer for impressionable young people, inviting them to enter a realm of perversion, hatred, and violence that has been birthed in hell itself.” One young girl committed suicide after watching Season 1. And Season 4 is now in production. AFA is asking to “Please sign this petition to Netflix and share it to warn others about the dangers of 13 Reasons Why.

In Battlecreek, Michigan, three boys who were 11, 12 and 13 at the time they were charged have been convicted of raping two young brothers, ages 6 and 8.

In Manhattan, New York, a shirtless madman is attacking people at random. Authorities released video of the suspect in hopes that someone recognizes him. It appears to be a hate crime since he yelled to the fifth person he’s attacked this month, “Get off the street, you f—–g honky! You don’t belong here.”

In Portland, Oregon, last weekend, an ANTIFA thug attempted to stab a man who is known to be a Marine vet while he was trying to get away. The terrorist was blocked from being successful. The video at the above link is just one of at least a few from last weekend that shows ANTIFA are the real bad guys.

In Connecticut, six people — all over age 60 — were arrested after police responded to multiple complaints about people engaging in “lewd and sexual activity” in a public park. The area was publicized on the internet as an area for people to meet and have sex.

US authorities have charged 80 people, “most of whom are Nigerian nationals,” with participating in a conspiracy to steal millions of dollars. They used business email fraud schemes and romance scams to con victims, many of them elderly. Police so far arrested 14 across the US, 11 in Los Angeles alone.

The Catholic organization, Knights of Columbus is accused of fraud in its life insurance business. A lawsuit claims local Knights chapters were told by headquarters that they could not purge their rolls of members they believed were dead or inactive — and that local chapters had to come up with the dues money for these “phantom Knights,” or be kicked out of the organization.

In Italy, police arrested 18 people, including a mayor, social workers and psychologists for allegedly “brainwashing” children into believing their parents had sexually abused them, in a scheme to take them away from their families and sell them to foster parents. A network of so-called “carers” allegedly used hours of psychotherapy sessions and electroshocks to convince children their parents had sexually abused them and “alter their memory ahead of the trials.” They then allegedly sold the children on to friends and acquaintances in a scheme worth hundreds of thousands of euros.

In Australia, a mother and father were spared jail time, instead sentenced to 19 months of intensive corrections and community service after allowing their baby daughter to become severely malnourished on a vegan diet. After the baby had a seizure and was taken to the hospital, medical examinations revealed she had several severe deficiencies as well as thinning of the bones. Her bones had not developed since birth. A foster care provider told the court that the 19-month old looked like a 3-month-old baby, weighing only 4.89kg (under 11 pounds) and had no teeth.

EPIDEMICS AND OTHER CONCERNS

In Los Angeles, California, it took Cal/OSHA eight months to take action after a pest control company issued a report linking rodent infestation at City Hall to homeless camps in the area. Maintenance officials never mentioned those findings during three City Council meetings called to discuss the rat problem. Workers at a Los Angeles City Hall building “were exposed to unsanitary conditions from trash and bodily fluids. Deputy City Attorney Elizabeth Greenwood contracted typhus from flea bites and has filed a lawsuit against the city. She says she’s faced retaliation for reporting this to OSHA. Los Angeles County set a new record with 124 typhus cases confirmed in 2018.

Big cities that are struggling with hepatitis, typhus, mountains of human feces and millions of rats are all run by Democrats, discussed at this link.Major cities all over America are being transformed into rotting, decaying, disease-infested hellholes… Where the conditions are the worst are always dominated by a particular political ideology. If the citizens of those major cities…want real change, then those citizens are going to have to be willing to make fundamentally different choices than they have been making in the past.”

The US measles outbreak is still growing, with over 1,200 confirmed cases being reported in 30 states as of Aug. 15, marking 21 more cases from the week before.

JAMA Pediatrics published a new research article on potential effects on infant development due to fluoride in drinking water. In the decades-long controversial debate about whether fluoride is good or bad for human health, this research concluded that fluoride consumed by women during pregnancy can decrease intelligence (IQ scores) of their babies.

In Florida, tens of thousands of pythons in the Florida wild attack animals and damage ecosystems. The earliest recorded sighting was in Everglades national park in 1979, but no one knows for sure how one became many. A theory is that hundreds escaped from a breeding facility flattened in 1992’s Hurricane Andrew. A more widely accepted explanation is that blame rests with irresponsible pet owners. Over 99,000 Burmese pythons, native to southeast Asia, were brought to the US between 1999-2006 alone. Due to Florida’s amenable climate, obliging private ownership laws, and lax biosecurity, some became pets. Owners may have set them free when the 12-inch hatchlings grew to several feet long.

In Florida, something is affecting panthers and bobcats . We’ve heard about Chronic Wasting Disease in deer in various places. Could this be the same disease? Some wonder if these cats are being poisoned, however. One of the many concerning symptoms of Chronic Wasting Disease is that the animal loses its fear of humans. Panthers and bobcats have been seen roaming neighborhoods.

Often referred to as “zombie deer” disease due to the symptoms, Chronic Wasting Disease has been reported in at least 26 US states and four provinces in Canada. In addition, CWD has been reported in reindeer and/or moose in Norway, Finland, and Sweden; and a small number of imported cases in South Korea. The disease has also been found in farmed deer and elk. While there’s no direct scientific evidence to suggest CWD can be transmitted to humans, the CFIA says consumption of meat from contaminated animals should be avoided. However, some experts say CWD is a concern because the disease is adapting and may become a serious threat.

Hundreds of people continue to be exposed to Ebola in the Congo, raising fears of the disease spreading to neighboring countries and the wider region. The World Health Organization reports 70 to 80 cases a week. “The current rate of transmission can be described as intense.”

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Bethel Church in Redding, California, posted on their site: “The message of CHANGED has never been ‘All Must Change.’ We share these stories specifically for Christians who are unfulfilled in identifying as LGBTQ+. For those of you who feel fulfilled and happy as you are, we love you! God doesn’t force people to change, and people – including Christians – shouldn’t force others to change, either. We stand against any and all forms of shame, manipulation, force, humiliation, or physical harm in so-called “ministry” or therapy.” [In their greed, these false pastors are exploiting people with false words (2 Peter 2:1-3, 18-19). If they really cared, they would point them to the truth].

Pope Francis said at a feast (Aug 15) honoring Mary’s alleged bodily assumption into heaven that she’s the “Gate of Heaven.” He said: “look upwards” because, thanks to Mary’s assumption: “Heaven is open… There she awaits us, just as a mother waits for her children to come home. We need no longer be afraid “because on the threshold of Heaven there is a Mother waiting for us.” “Every time we take the Rosary in our hands and pray to her, we take a step forward towards our life’s great goal.”

This is unbiblical idolatry. There’s no true queen of heaven (Jer 7:18). Jesus is The Gate (Jn 10:9); Jesus is the only mediator between God and men (1 Tim 2:5; Heb 7:25). We look up for our redeemer Jesus (Lk 21:28; 2 Tim 4:8), not Mary. Mary did not ascend bodily into heaven as did Jesus (John 3:13). Her soul is in heaven and her body is in the grave awaiting the rapture.

“Hail Satan” is in theaters, and the leftist media is buying into the Satanic Temple’s claims that they’re just humanitarian do-gooders. Irish Times said, “Thank God for Satan…With “Hail Satan” she (director Penny Lane) has happened upon folk as clever and irreverent as she is. After completing the film, Lane became a member of the Satanic Temple. Who could blame her? Satan hasn’t looked this appealing since John Milton’s romantic write-up in Paradise Lost.” The Guardian said, “Florida’s Satanic Temple is more concerned with helping out than worshipping Beelzebub…”

The BBC said, “Although there is a certain theatrical, horror movie side to their Black Mass rituals in which they do invoke Satan, they freely admit none actually believe in Satan as an actual spiritual entity…” Director Penny Lane said, “I really honestly thought religion was basically some kind of like mental illness that needs to be treated better… I always just fundamentally kind of came out of the womb an atheist.”

DEPOPULATION AGENDA

Planned Parenthood (the federally-subsidized abortion provider that has killed and dismembered millions of babies nationwide) announced it has dropped out of the Title X program and will forgo nearly $60 million in taxpayer funding rather than comply with a Trump administration rule requiring that it separate its abortions from the rest of its operations. Regulations still allow Title X recipients to discuss abortion; they just can’t refer patients to abortion centers. The Protect Life Rule does not reduce family planning funding; it simply directs taxpayer-funding to family planning providers who stay out of the abortion business. PP has shown its true colors: abortion is its business, not women’s healthcare.

HATRED OF THE JEWS AND ISRAEL AKA HATRED OF GOD

On Friday, Muslim Democrat congressional reps Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib shared a meme on their Instagram pages from cartoonist Carlos Latuff, whose work is anti-Semitic and has trivialized the holocaust. Latuff also mocked dead US soldiers in Iraq.

A video has emerged of students at a Southern California high school making a Nazi salute and singing a Nazi marching song at an off-campus awards ceremony last year. The incident involved 10 members of the boys’ water polo team. Another source reported video of a second occurrence.

TERRORISM

In Israel in the West Bank, a terror attack killed a teenage girl and wounded her father and brother. An explosive device had been planted at the spring and remotely detonated when the family approached. It is the third terrorist attack in the West Bank this month.

Israel’s IDF stopped yet another terrorist from entering Israel Thursday night. The terrorist approached the Gaza security fence and hurled several grenades at IDF soldiers.

In Syria, a car bomb killed one member of a security force and wounded two others in the Kurdish-controlled city of Qamishli last Sunday.

Two women inspired by Islamic terrorism who are US citizens living in Queens, New York, pleaded guilty on Friday to teaching and distributing information about the manufacture and use of an explosive, destructive device and weapon of mass destruction. Asia Siddiqui and Noelle Velentzas face up to 20 years in prison. They studied some of the most deadly attacks in US history as a blueprint for their plans to kill American law enforcement and military personnel.

Velentzas, in one meeting, took a knife from her bra and showed Siddiqui and a person they didn’t know was an FBI informant how to stab someone. Her phone had a photo of Osama bin Laden — whom she called one of her heroes — set as her screen pic. Siddiqui had been in repeated contact with members of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Siddiqui also tried her hand at gruesome terrorist poetry in which she called for readers to engage in violence and find truth “through fists and slit throats.”

They kill their own people too: Sunni vs Shiite. In Afghanistan, a suicide bomber killed 63 people and wounded 182 in an attack on a wedding reception, as violence shows no sign of easing despite hopes for a deal on US troop withdrawal. The Taliban denies responsibility. The blast followed a bomb attack on a mosque in Pakistan the day before that killed four people and wounded about 20.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR

Israel’s IDF is on high alert after its military struck several targets in Syria south of Damascus on Saturday, thwarting an attack by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps against northern Israel. According to IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis, the IRGC Quds Force was planning to strike northern Israel in the coming days by launching several “killer” quadcopters against the targets. Israel’s PM Netanyahu said, “If someone rises up to kill you, kill him first.”

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ ground forces kicked off a “massive” set of war drills Thursday as the country unveiled its homemade version of Russia’s advanced S-300 missile defense system in yet another showing of Iran’s growing readiness for a possible war. Iranian military leaders said the war games will mix with actual fighting as IRGC forces seek to cleanse what they described as “anti-revolutionary terrorist groups” from along the country’s borders.

In Israel, it’s been a week of rocket sirens going off in Israel due to “heathen raging” (Psalm 2). Two rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip Wednesday and again on Thursday. In response, Israeli jets struck several Hamas targets. Six rockets have been fired from the Hamas-run coastal enclave this past week. The heathen should read Joel 3:3-4, not that it would stop them. Both scriptures tell us they’ll be punished.

Israel has refused to allow Qatari funds into Gaza until it receives a commitment that calm would be maintained until after elections next month. Instead, sources in Hamas said an escalation is to be expected. And that’s what happened because Hamas doesn’t care about its citizens. Hamas is all about destroying Israel. About 8,000 Gazans gathered at Israel’s border to protest on Friday. They threw dozens of bombs, stones and grenades at the fence and IDF troops, while some tried to breach the perimeter. Israeli troops responded, injuring 70.

In a visit to a refugee camp, Palestinian Authority (aka PLO) President Mahmoud Abbas claimed that the “Palestinians” “will enter Jerusalem – millions of fighters.” In a video, he stated that the “Palestinian” people “shall remain [here], and nobody can remove us from our homeland.” In reality, he could care less about the refugees, who left not because Israel told them to, but because the Arabs told them to leave Israel decades ago since they planned to attack and destroy the reborn state of Israel, then let the “refugees” come back. Needless to say, they lost. Egypt offered these people a homeland in the Sinai, but Abbas rejected the offer. Why? Because he uses them as propaganda pawns.

Adm. Craig Faller, who oversees the U.S. Southern Command said the Navy must be ready to “do what needs to be done” on Venezuela. “I won’t speak to details of what we’re planning and what we’re doing, but we remain ready to implement policy decisions, and we remain on the balls of our feet,” Faller told reporters. He added: “The United States Navy is the most powerful Navy in the world. If a policy decision is made to deploy the Navy, I’m convinced that we’ll be able to do what needs to be done.”

KINGS OF THE EAST

A new study warns the U.S. has lost its military supremacy in the Indo-Pacific region, with China being able to launch and win a military conflict even before American forces are able to respond.

A Chinese survey vessel extended its activities closer to Vietnam’s coastline after the US and Australia expressed concern about China’s actions in disputed waterways. The vessel first entered Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone last month where it began a weeks-long seismic survey, triggering a tense standoff between military and coastguard vessels from Vietnam and China.

Japan has upgraded its estimate of North Korea’s nuclear weapons capability, saying it seems North Korea has achieved the miniaturization of nuclear warheads, posing a “serious and imminent threat.”

North Korea fired two suspected short-range ballistic missiles into the sea on Saturday, the seventh carried out since it ended a 17-month hiatus on testing at the end of July. North Korea has repeatedly expressed anger at US-South Korean military exercises that have been taking place.

India’s defense minister suggested that the country may re-evaluate its “no first use of nuclear weapons” doctrine, raising the stakes at a time of high tension with its nuclear-armed neighbor Pakistan.

TRAITORS

Proving once again that there are no moral boundaries in the Democrat Party, a fundraiser for a prominent Illinois state senator featured the simulated assassination of President Trump.

North Carolina’s largest sanctuary county of Mecklenburg released a previously deported illegal alien, Oscar Pacheco-Leonardo, 33, from Honduras who was accused of rape and child sex crimes. Over the past 9 months, ICE detailed a list of over 20 illegal aliens who were recently arrested by Mecklenburg County police and released back into the community despite an ICE detainer lodged against them.

“As the Russiagate circus attempts to quietly disappear over the horizon, with Democrats preferring to shift the anti-Trump narrative back to “racist,” “white supremacist,” “xenophobe,” and the mainstream media ready to squawk “recession,” the Trump administration may have a few more cards up its sleeve before anyone claims the higher ground in this farce we call an election campaign. While it’s been almost a year of feet-dragging and cajoling and deep-state-fighting, we wonder if the president is getting ready to play his ‘Trump’ card.” See the documents at this link that “The Hill’s John Solomon says have the greatest chance of rocking Washington, if declassified.”

MAN PLAYING gods

Despite President Trump’s commendable decision to terminate all internal National Institutes of Health experimentation using aborted human fetal tissue, sick federally-funded experiments are happening behind closed doors in secret labs all over America. A couple of examples: At UCSF, experimenters recently used a $2 million government slush fund to transplant intestines removed from 18-24 week-old aborted fetuses onto the backs of 6 to 8-week-old mice. In other bizarre Frankenstein-study funded by taxpayers, USCF implanted intact reproductive tracts from 9.5 to 22-week-old human fetuses, including from a pair of aborted twins, into mice dosed with synthetic estrogen. More sick examples at this link.

Now scientists are attempting controversial experiments to edit DNA in human sperm using CRISPR. Also, scientists have, for the first time, demonstrated a new CRISPR method that can modify dozens of genes simultaneously, and theoretically could be increased to hundreds of gene modifications.

BIG BROTHER AND THE GAIA EARTH MOTHER WORSHIPERS

Energy Star, a federal program managed jointly by the Dept of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency that provides information to consumers about energy efficiency, is asking consumers to keep their temperatures set at 78 degrees or higher. According to Energy Star, keeping your central air thermostat set to 78 is optimal for both cooling and energy efficiency. This recommendation only applies to when you’re home. While you’re away during the day, you should keep the thermostat set to 85 or higher. While you sleep, Energy Star recommends keeping the temperature at 82 or higher.

MARXISM, SOCIALISM, AND COMMUNISM: THREE EVILS THREATENING THE WORLD

In this video, protestors in Hong Kong are asking President Trump to help free them from Chinese Communist tyranny. The protestors have been singing America’s National Anthem and flying our flag to represent the virtues of freedom. Meanwhile, this weekend, demonstrations continue. Thousands of people held hands to form a human chain of peaceful protest against a suspended extradition bill. Demonstrators believe the bill could undermine Hong Kong’s legal freedoms and might be used to intimidate or silence dissidents.

On the other hand, here in the US, sadly, we have liberal-left Dem-witted Brainwashed pawns: Students and universities have expressed opposition to the stars and stripes, calling it an “offensive” symbol. Students have also protested the Pledge of Allegiance through various boycotts; one Minnesota town even banned it. Colorado State University even linked to an inclusive language guide that warned against the use of the words “America” and “American.” Correspondent Ethan Cai, whose parents fled communist China, took to Georgetown University to ask students why they think Hong Kong views the American flag as a symbol of freedom when so many people in America disparage it.

A short clip from the National Democratic Socialist Convention 2019 shows how absolutely off the rails the Left is. You have to see this to believe it; these people are so brainwashed, it’s unbelievable! The Leftist media either praised the event or else ignored what went on. The socialists voted for open borders, removal of ICE with no replacement, and the insane New Green Deal (that would kill off most of the human population). Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist, is ranked high in Dem presidential primary polling. Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Dem party’s poster child. She and her comrades in the Squad are now national figures. Nearly 100 Democrat socialists now hold elected office across the country, from school boards to state legislatures and Congress. Watch the video and let that sink in.

And for more of the Left’s Dem Doings:

ORWELLIAN SOCIETY: LEFTIST NEWSPEAK, DOUBLESPEAK, THOUGHT CONTROL…AND KILLER ROBOTS

CNN added to its stable of retired FBI and CIA officials Friday by hiring Andrew McCabe, who was fired by the bureau due to a lack of candor during an internal probe. McCabe is the 10th ex-FBI or CIA official hired by the network in recent years, with MSNBC having hired five. A vast majority of the 15 CNN/MSNBC analysts have pushed the now-debunked theory that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia.

Newsweek actually published an article titled “Time to Rethink Taboo on Cannibalism?” The article basically encourages people to think of themselves as just part of the animal kingdom. The Godless ones have been teaching for a long time that humans are simply another species, evolving through the same processes and principles affecting other organisms. It’s really about denying the existence of God.

Newsweek published an article showing a viral tweet naming certain restaurants to boycott that supposedly support President Trump’s reelection. Although Newspeak (I mean Newsweek) said restaurants informed them that they don’t support political campaigns, it was surely more than happy to fan the flames, adding tweets by leftists. The original tweeter named Zuriel Sanders claims he’s researched dark money contributions and found these companies fund PAC’s which are helping Trump’s re-election or helped in the past. Among those pushing the false list is the “People for Bernie” account. Interestingly, Newsweek posted a photo in the article of a McDonald’s that had an American flag flying – as if that’s supposed to be a bad thing?!

Late night TV leftist Bill Maher spewed out his opinion on the death of billionaire businessman, David Koch, who built a conservative political empire with his brother Charles. Maher said of Koch, “He and his brother have done more than anybody to fund climate science deniers for decades, so F… him… I’m glad he’s dead and I hope the end was painful.”

“Crime-ridden San Francisco has introduced new sanitized language for criminals, getting rid of words such as ‘offender’ and ‘addict’ while changing ‘convicted felon’ to ‘justice-involved person.’ The Board of Supervisors adopted the changes even as the city reels from one of the highest crime rates in the country.” “From now on a convicted felon or an offender released from custody will be known as a ‘formerly incarcerated person,’ or just a ‘returning resident.’ A juvenile ‘delinquent’” will now be called a “young person with justice system involvement,’ or a ‘young person impacted by the juvenile justice system.’ No word yet on what the city will call its infamously large number of public defecators who’ve made the city by the bay anything but a San Francisco treat to walk in.

College Campus Insanity: Virginia Tech’s orientation was full of Leftist propaganda. “The administration opened orientation by recognizing two Native American tribes on whose land the college was built (with the implication that it was stolen). The college filled the next two hours with speaker after speaker who introduced themselves with not just their names and titles but also preferred pronouns. The school constantly defined and showcased identity group politics, but certainly not all identities – it’s apparently way cooler to be a minority trans woman with food allergies than simply to be an American college student. Interestingly, the university offered Halal food (for Muslims) but no certified kosher meals. Religiously observant Jewish students, tough luck; but if you are vegan, you’re in business.”

Amazon, Microsoft and Intel are among leading tech companies putting the world at risk through killer robot development, according to a report that surveyed major players from the sector about their stance on lethal autonomous weapons. Google, which last year published guiding principles eschewing AI for use in weapons systems, was among seven companies found to be engaging in “best practice” in the analysis that spanned 12 countries, as was Japan’s Softbank, best known for its humanoid Pepper robot. Computer Science Professor Stuart Russell said, “Autonomous weapons will inevitably become scalable weapons of mass destruction, because if the human is not in the loop, then a single person can launch a million weapons or a hundred million weapons.”

CLOSING SCRIPTURE

“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity” (Isaiah 59:1-4).

“Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty… And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible” (Isaiah 13:6, 11).

Climate of Chaos and Corruption

EXTREME WEATHER

Following news that monsoon rain has claimed over 300 lives across India, Myanmar and Pakistan so far this month, the risk of flooding expands to India’s National Capital Region (NCR) this weekend.

In Sudan, thousands of homes were destroyed and at least 50 people have been killed in severe floods over the past 10 days. 25 localities in 16 of Sudan’s 18 states have been affected. Catastrophic health conditions are expected if authorities do not intervene.

In Japan, at least 3 people were killed and 50 injured as Tropical Storm Krosa hit with 30 inches of rain and wind gusts of nearly 90 mph. This is the third tropical cyclone to hit mainland Japan after Nari on July 27 and Francisco on August 6.

Heatwave temperatures are likely across Europe and through Ireland this coming week.

There have been large numbers of red sprites in the skies over Europe this summer. Red sprites happen when the parent thunderstorm unleashes a strong positive lightning bolt. Positive lightning is very powerful, typically 2x to 10x more powerful than typical negative lightning. It is also rare, with less than 5% of all lightning bolts being positive. There have been many thunderstorms across central Europe in the past several weeks.

NOAA forecasters are upping their prediction of a bigger-than-average hurricane season to a 45% chance, from 30% in May. A 45% chance is what NOAA predicted for the record-breaking 2017 season– in which hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria battered the U.S. Conditions are more favorable for Atlantic hurricanes since El Nino has now ended (an every-few-years occurrence in which the sea-water temperature rises in surface waters of the tropical Pacific and inhibits Atlantic hurricane activity).

And in the US:

Monster hail fell from the sky and hammered areas of the central US on Tuesday. Grapefruit-sized fell in Bethune, Colorado, breaking the state’s record for hail size.

The latest AccuWeather 2019 crop production analysis predicts the lowest US corn yield in 7 years, a significant decline from last year’s corn and soybean yield, as well as a noticeable variation from July USDA estimates. This is due to extreme weather events.

19 million acres of farmland were not planted with crops this year. Extreme weather events are to blame. This is the largest number the USDA has ever reported for a single year, and nearly 17.5 million acres greater than last year’s final tally of less than 2 million acres. A lot of what was able to be planted is not in good shape.

Severe storms rocked parts of the Plains and Upper Midwest on Tuesday and more storms affected part of the central United States through Friday. Sudden heavy rainfall in southern Miami-Dade County led to some intense flooding Thursday afternoon as streets turned into streams.

Massive Fire

In Bangladesh, a massive fire swept through a slum in the capital, Dhaka, leaving 50,000 people homeless.

DAYS OF LOT RETURNED: LORD HELP OUR CHILDREN!

LGBTQ organizations are destroying society: dismantling ethical norms, making a mockery of education, ruining innocent people’s lives and destroying children’s innocence. This article gives some examples. If we don’t start speaking up strongly, especially on behalf of the children (see Matthew 18:6), who will?

In New Jersey, Barnegat mayor Alfonso Cirulli launched a campaign to fight a law that brings an LGBT curriculum into schools, and he urged residents to join his fight. During the meeting of the Township Committee, Cirulli said it was his duty to protect residents, and rightfully called the LGBT political movement “an affront to almighty God.”

In Illinois, Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker has signed a bill into law requiring public schools to include LGBT history in their curriculums.

In California, the Murrieta school district will not allow parents to opt their children out of classes involving LGBTQ content. A representative said this is because LGBTQ content is “fused throughout the entirety of the curriculum.” The school district previously came under fire for a video depicting an ACLU staff member instructing teachers how to help students obtain abortions without parental consent.

In Modesto, California, city leaders denied a permit for the National Straight Pride Coalition to hold their march and parade there. Apparently, only gay parades are welcome.

LIBERAL LEFT’S DEPOPULATION AGENDA

New statistics reveal that nearly a fourth of babies in England and Wales were aborted in 2018.

Some good news: Attempts to suppress the movie “Unplanned” have been unsuccessful. It became the number one DVD in Amazon sales on its first day of sales this week. It tells the true story of Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood clinic director who quit her job with the nation’s largest abortion provider in 2009 after having a conversion experience regarding the procedure. Solomon credited the film’s success to God’s grace.

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Marty Sampson, known for his work with Hillsong (so-called) Worship revealed he is losing his faith and believes Christianity is “just another religion.” He said, “I’m genuinely losing my faith, and it doesn’t bother me. Like, what bothers me now is nothing. I am so happy now, so at peace with the world, it’s crazy.” Two weeks ago, Joshua Harris, author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye renounced Christianity.

In Kentucky, a small group of so-called progressive religious leaders held a press conference this week to insist that they can both be Christians and support the killing of unborn babies in abortions.

Feminists turning to Witchcraft: Whether it’s hexing the president, chatting in WhatsApp covens or featuring in TV reboots, radicalized women have been finding strength in the ancient pagan arts. This article is on the liberal left Guardian site, so naturally it contains Trump bashing. But these demonic doings have been around long before he came into the picture, and the real reason/source for the proliferation of this madness is one of Satan’s ploys to destroy souls (see Isaiah 3. It is an example of the last stage in the fall of nations that has always followed the same pattern. Also see 2 Timothy 3:6-7).

In Canada, The Satanic Temple in Ottawa held the first public Black Mass in Canada’s history on August 17. The event took place at The Koven, a heavy metal restaurant/bar with a Satanic atmosphere and blasphemous names for the food it serves.

In England, they really did it. A carnival ride called helter-skelter has been installed inside the Norwich Cathedral to attract visitors and allow congregants to get a better look at the church’s artwork.

In Japan, a 400-year-old temple is attempting to hot-wire interest in Buddhism with a robotic priest. The android, based on the Buddhist deity of mercy, preaches sermons, and its human colleagues predict that with artificial intelligence (AI), it could one day acquire unlimited wisdom. “This robot will never die, it will just keep updating itself and evolving,” priest Tensho Goto says. The temple insists the deity of mercy is able to transform itself at will and that an android is merely the latest incarnation of Buddha.

EPIDEMICS

“Apocalyptic” is the word being used for a strong and incredibly hard to stop fungus affecting the world’s most popular bananas. A large portion of the world’s bananas is grown in Latin America where the fruit-killing fungus has been spotted.

Yet another use of “apocalyptic”: A new report states America’s agricultural landscape is now 48 times more toxic to honeybees, and likely other insects, than it was 25 years ago, almost entirely due to widespread use of so-called neonicotinoid pesticides.

China’s agriculture ministry warned that it found fall armyworms in 21 provinces, across 333,000 hectares of crops. Fall armyworms are a destructive garden pest that can destroy a variety of crops as well as grasses. There are calls for pesticides to eradicate them.

The drug-resistant fungus, Candida auris, was just discovered 10 years ago and has become a feared microbe in hospitals. There have been outbreaks across the world, and scientists don’t know how it arose and became so resistant. Its nearly simultaneous emergence on different continents is unsettling, and it acts more like bacteria than fungi. 30% to 60% of patients who develop C. auris infections die. In the US, C. auris infections occur in patients who are already seriously compromised. The CDC has an article on it as well as the BBC and Scientific American. The latter two suggest climate change being a factor (of course they would).

A shortage of a drug used to treat immune disorders is forcing U.S. hospitals to suspend treatment for some patients.

In San Francisco, California, a report made public this week shows the number of deaths from fentanyl overdoses in San Francisco jumped by nearly 150% last year. The synthetic drug is often mixed with other drugs like heroin and cocaine in powder form. It’s a highly addictive opiate that is 100 times more potent than other prescription opioids. Fentanyl came to San Francisco in counterfeit pills a few years ago. Other reports have warned how deadly this drug is, and many people don’t even realize that it has been snuck into other pills coming into the US.

Hepatis A is breaking out across the US in the wake of an opioid crisis. Since 2016, the virus has spawned outbreaks in at least 29 states, starting with Michigan and California. It’s sickened over 23,600 people, sent the majority to the hospital and killed more than 230. Experts expect to see it seep into every state.

California is experiencing the results of its own manufactured homelessness crisis. It has reached unprecedented proportions, and is now endangering the health and safety of every single person living in the state, particularly those who live in coastal areas, 80% of which is infected with human feces.

LAWLESSNESS

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Maurice Hill, a felon with an extensive criminal history (with prosecutors dropping the charges on most of the offenses), shot and wounded six police officers who tried to serve a narcotics warrant on him. He should never have even been on the street (see his criminal history in this article). As if all this isn’t bad enough, there were people in the crowd while this standoff was going on who were taunting, yelling, and laughing at police (view here). The Left is to blame for creating a culture of disrespect for law enforcement in its attempt to destabilize the US.

Silencing Epstein?: CBS reported that on the morning sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein died, there was “shouting and shrieking from his jail cell.” It was further stated by the New York Times that one of the guards watching Epstein on the night he died was not a regular corrections officer.

TRAITORS

Conservatives have known for a long time that Soros is a megadonor that influences the Democrats. Now, the truth is coming out about just how much control he had (and still has) according to newly released department memos. Democrats like Obama, Clinton, and Pelosi have received windfalls from this man. Soros has shaped and is shaping the policy of liberals around the world.

For many years, leftist billionaire George Soros has used his wealth to remake our society. His latest area of focus is criminal justice. From Texas to Philadelphia to Virginia, Soros has reportedly spent millions in backing candidates for district attorneys or prosecutors.

Comey’s FBI was running a secret counterintelligence operation against Trump, new documents show.

Whistleblower Zach Vorhies is raising the alarm on Google’s AI project in China that he’s calling this century’s ‘Manhattan Project’ for artificial intelligence. Vorhies slammed Google as a national security threat for hosting its massive AI project in China while simultaneously canceling contracts with America’s military.

Muslim reps in Congress who hate the US and Israel: Rashida Tlaib’s and Ilhan Omar’s cancelled trip to Israel was sponsored by a ‘Palestinian’-based organization whose members have expressed sympathy for terrorist activities and support the BDS movement against Israel. Tlaib proved that her call to visit her Muslim grandmother in Israel was nothing more than an attempt to discredit Israel. She and Omar know that Israel bars visits from those who support the BDS movement. But Israel was willing to allow Tlaib to come there and visit with her 91-year-old grandmother whom Tlaib claimed was near and dear to her and wanted to see her one last time. However, when granted permission, Tlaib declined. It was all a ruse to blast Israel, and nothing more.

BORDER DISORDER

I thought about putting this news article in the traitor category since something smells of Soros in these developments. In the border state of Texas, the decision of four Republicans not to seek reelection in 2020 comes in the wake of five Texas Republicans last year also choosing to retire from Congress. The obvious question: Why?

United States Border Patrol agents were shot at by Mexican cartels in Texas while making rounds on the Rio Grande. The agents were conducting a morning patrol by boat when they reported shots fired from the Mexican riverbank. CBP reported multiple shooters.

FBI officials have opened an investigation into shots fired into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices in San Antonio, Texas. Authorities described it as a “targeted attack” against federal employees.

Mexico arrested a US citizen suspected of backing jihadist groups who was being housed at a migrant detention center, and deported him to the United States. Mexican media reports named the man as Mohammed Azharuddin Chhipa.

ISLAMIZATION OF THE NATIONS AND TERRORISM

In Washington, DC, the U.S. Secret Service confirmed Friday morning that it has shuttered the streets surrounding the Israeli embassy in downtown D.C. following reports “of a suspicious person and vehicle.”

In Israel, there have been a number of terror attacks by Muslims in 10 days. Two Israeli siblings, Noam and Nahum Navi, aged 20 and 18, were deliberately run over by a “Palestinian” terrorist on Friday in a car-ramming attack. Their conditions are listed as serious and moderate. On Thursday, an Israeli policeman was lightly to moderately injured in a Palestinian stabbing attack in the Old City of Jerusalem. On August 7, an Israeli teen, 18-year-old Dvir Sorek, was stabbed to death by “Palestinian” terrorists not far from the site of Friday’s ramming attack. Muslim Arabs attempted Thursday to kidnap an IDF soldier traveling home on leave.

Clashes broke out between Muslim protesters and Israeli police forces on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount holy site last Sunday, during a period of peak religious tensions over the confluence of Jewish and Muslim holy days. Police were forced to use riot control methods.

The animal rights organization, PETA, which is against people wearing fur coats, is silent about the slaughter of millions of animals worldwide in the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Adha.

HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL AKA HATRED OF GOD

California has introduced “blatantly anti-Semitic and anti-Israel” lessonsinto its official high schoolcurriculum.

GLOBAL GOVERNMENT PUSH

Dave Hodges has a good article at this link about the awakening of people across the planet to the corrupt globalist agendas. It’s about time, but too little, and too late. (Note: the mention of China’s forces moving into Hong Kong turned out to be just a show-of-force military parade meant to intimidate the protestors).

Pope Francis, the promoter of a one-world government and one-world religion, refused to meet with Italy’s Minister of Interior Matteo Salvini because Salvini wants to protect his homeland from an invasion of third world and mostly Muslim illegal migrants. Francis ridiculously compared Salvini to Nazis.

Francis, in his globalization of the nations push, said that citizens of European nations should put the good of Europe before that of their own countries, saying “Europe counts more.” “Never forget that ‘the whole is greater than the parts.’ Globalization, unity, should not be conceived as a sphere, but as a polyhedron: each people retains its identity in unity with others,” he said. He praised women rulers such as Merkel and Von der Leyen. Von der Leyen, president of the EU Commission, warned the UK against opposing further military federalization including the establishment of a single EU army, navy, and air force.

SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY

This week DARPA kicked off the Subterranean Challenge, where hordes of robots are unleashed into caves and tunnels to test how well they can navigate these environments. Those will come in handy for the Antichrist when he seeks out those who refuse to take his mark of worship.

DEMONIC DELUSION

Also, not all the robots will have applications here on Earth. One team is entering the Subterranean Challenge contest in order to get practice for a fleet of robots that could one day search for signs of life underground on other worlds. (They’ll never stop trying to find life on other planets in their attempt to prove that life just “evolved,” that there is no God).

Signs in the Skies or Demonic Delusion?

In the news this week: Scientists are excited about eight new repeating radio signals known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) that have been detected flaring from deep space. At the start of 2019, just one of these signals was known to flash repeatedly. Scientists can only guess what they are.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval commander Alireza Tangsiri warned that “any presence by the Zionists in the waters of the Persian Gulf could spark a war,” after Israel announced that it was taking part in a U.S.-led mission to secure the Strait of Hormuz.

A former Iraqi deputy prime minister indicated Israel was responsible for a massive explosion earlier this week in a weapons depot controlled by an Iranian-backed Shiite militia in Baghdad.

When Israel’s opposition leaders of Netanyahu’s government: Benny Gantz, Yair Lapid, Gabi Ashkenazi and Moshe Ya’alon, toured the Gaza Envelope, Gantz promised, ”In the next round, we will defeat Hamas.” In response, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar said, “During the next conflict with Israel, we will rain hundreds of rockets in a single barrage.” He says Hamas continues to prepare for conflict with Israel, and is still digging tunnels.

Israeli jets struck several Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip Friday night in retaliation for launching of rockets towards Israel. The barrage came as tensions have risen following several violent infiltrations along the border fence. In less than two weeks, six armed Gaza terrorists were able to infiltrate into southern Israel before being engaged by IDF troops and killed.

Kings of the East

Thousands of Chinese military personnel paraded across the border from Hong Kong on Thursday along with armored vehicles. This event took place amid concerns that China may intervene to end 10 weeks of unrest in Hong Kong whose citizens are protesting China’s totalitarian government measures.

Congress should move quickly with an $8 billion sale of F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan as the self-ruled island faces pressure from China’s increased military presence in the region, leading U.S. Democrat and Republican lawmakers said on Friday. China denounced the plan and warned of unspecified countermeasures. China considers Taiwan a renegade province.

North Korea fired two missiles into sea in its SIXTH weapons test in a month to protest US military exercises with South Korea.

MULTIPLE NATIONS HELP PREPARE FOR A HUGE EARTHQUAKE IN ISRAEL

The Israel Navy led a first-of-its-kind multinational exercise dedicated to earthquake response this week, in a drill which brought representatives from 10 naval forces, as well as NATO, to the Haifa Port on Israel’s northern coast. The week-long “Mighty Waves 2019” exercise, which included ships and personnel from the US, France and Greece, as well as representatives from the UK, Canada, Germany, Italy, Cyprus, Chile and NATO, was the largest-ever naval exercise led by the Jewish state.

The drill operated on the assumption that most of the humanitarian aid arriving in Israel in the wake of such a disaster would have to arrive by sea. Israel is situated on the Great Syria-Africa Rift, a fault line running along the border between Israel and Jordan. The last major earthquake along that line was a 6.2 in 1927, which killed 500 people. Seismologists warn that Israel is due for another tectonic event, with one occurring approximately every 100 years. (Indeed, God will send an epic quake as spoken of in Ezekiel 38 that will get the attention of the whole world, when the Russian-Arab alliance comes against Israel in it’s futile and disastrous attempt to take God’s land and destroy His covenant people).
