Canada: Communist China diplomatic staff brag about defeating Conservative candidates in recent federal elections

There have been several articles in recent weeks on how the Chinese Communist Party interfered in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections to ensure that the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau was re-elected. Of course, Prime Minister Trudeau insists that the Chinese Communist Party interference did not influence that election.

Old Hebrew Bible may set a world record for the sale of a historical document

An old Hebrew Bible estimated to be over a thousand years old could potentially set a world record for the most expensive book ever sold when it comes up for sale at Sotheby’s, the Daily Wire reports. Dated to the 9th century, the 400-page Codex Sassoon, also known as the Damascus Pentateuch, contains all 24 Old Testament books minus 12 leaves. Most of the lost pages are from the Book of Genesis, which starts with Genesis 9:26. Exodus 18:1-23 is also missing. The leather-bound Bible, which measures 12″ by 14″ in size, also contains several deeds of sales including one stating it was dedicated to a synagogue in Syria. It is expected that the Bible could sell for between $30 million to $50 million. To become the most valuable historical document ever sold, it would need to beat the $43.2 million price paid for a first edition copy of the US Constitution in 2021.

Canada: Did Communist China interfere in the last federal election to ensure Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was re-elected?

According to CSIS, Canada’s intelligence agency, the Chinese Communist Party interfered in Canada’s last federal election to ensure that the Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was re-elected. Part of this plan included making sure any Conservative Politicians who opposed Beijing were not elected. The Globe and Mail writes: China employed a sophisticated strategy to disrupt Canada’s democracy in the 2021 federal election campaign as Chinese diplomats and their proxies backed the re-election of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals – but only to another minority government – and worked to defeat Conservative politicians considered to be unfriendly to Beijing. The full extent of the Chinese interference operation is laid bare in both secret and top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents viewed by The Globe and Mail that cover the period before and after the September, 2021, election that returned the Liberals to office.

Poll: 50% of Americans believe mainstream media purposefully trying to mislead or misinform people

A poll conducted by Gallup and the Knight Foundation in 2022 and released on Wednesday, Feb 15, 2023, revealed how far America’s trust of the mainstream media has fallen, Global News reports. The survey found that 50% of Americans believe the mainstream media is purposefully trying to mislead and misinform people or persuade the public on particular viewpoints when it comes to reporting the news. Only 25% believed that they were not. As well, 52% of Americans did not believe the mainstream media was producing news that was in the best interest of the public. It seems that the majority of Americans believe the mainstream media has other agendas when it comes to reporting the news. Only 23% believed the legacy media acted in the public’s best interest.

Video: The Asbury University Revival

As we reported yesterday, revival has broken out at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. People are now coming to visit the college from across the US, leading to reports of the revival spreading to other colleges. The revival started on Wednesday, Feb 8, 2023 during a chapel service and has been going on 24/7 since then. Some are comparing it to a revival that broke out at Asbury in 1970 in connection with the Jesus People movement. The following are a couple of CBN reports on what is happening:

Christian ad, ‘Love Your Enemies’, second most engaged commercial during Super Bowl game

According to EDO, a Christian ad that ran during the Superbowl was the second most engaged ad during the NFL championship game, coming in second to a Warner Brother commercial about its upcoming movie, The Flash, CBN reports. EDO is a multimedia company that measures people’s engagement in ads. The 60-second black and white commercial entitled “Love Your Enemies”, was produced by He Gets Us, a Christian organization founded in 2022 to spread the news about Christ online through radio, TV and digital advertising. The organization is funded in part by Hobby Lobby CEO David Green and other donors. The ad predictably drew criticism from the radical left with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeting “Something tells me Jesus would not spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign.” READ: ‘Love Your Enemies’: Jesus Ad Was Second-Most Engaged Commercial During Super Bow

Poll: 57% of university students are scared to express opinions in class

A survey conducted by UW-Stout’s Menard Center for Public Policy and Service found that 57% of students felt they could not express their personal views on controversial subjects in classes at the University of Wisconsin, WND reports. The survey of over ten thousand students at 13 of the university’s campuses also found that 37% felt pressured to agree with their professor’s opinions on controversial subjects. When asked why they were hesitant to express their personal opinions: READ: Survey: 57% of students afraid to express views in class

Pakistan hikes up punishment for blasphemy

Christians in Muslim-dominated Pakistan are expressing concerns about recent changes to the country’s blasphemy law, the Christian Post reports. The change increases the punishment for anyone who criticizes the companions, wives, and friends of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad. Under old legislation, a person could potentially face a prison sentence of three years for such criticism. This has now been increased to a maximum of 10 years, and a potential fine of approximately $4,500US. Over the years, Pakistan’s blasphemy laws have been abused. People have made false allegations in an effort to seize lands, take out competitors and as revenge in petty disputes. The irony is that during cases, people accusing others of blasphemy are not allowed to reveal what the accused said, because that would be an act of blasphemy as well. So it comes down to the justice system having to take the accuser’s word for it, which has opened the process up to corruption. There are also reports of prosecutors offering to drop the charges, in a non-blasphemy-related case, against non-Muslim citizens if they …

Razor blades attached to gas pump handles in North Carolina

Attacks by environmental fanatics on oil have hit a new level in North Carolina as police report that someone is attaching razor blades to the pump handles at gas stations, Fox News reports. After several rusty razor blades were discovered during routine inspections by regulators, police issued a warning to gas stations and consumers in the western part of the state. Since the announcement, several other gas stations have reported razor blades attached to station pump handles. It seems that radical environmentalists are intent on injuring people who try to fill up their gas vehicles. “I don’t know what’s wrong with people. I’m scared,” one customer told WSOC-TV. “People are crazy.” READ: North Carolina police find razor blades inside pumps at several gas stations: ‘Evil thing to do’

California’s plan to tax people if they flee the state

In what can only be described as an admission that their woke policies are failing, California Democrats are in the process of passing legislation that would allow the state to tax people even after they have left, Fox News reports. The provision is included in legislation that would see an extra 1% tax imposed on those who have a world-wide net worth in excess of $50 million and a 1.5% tax on those with a worldwide net worth exceeding one billion dollars. Not only would people be taxed based on assets held outside California, the legislation would potentially apply the tax even if they leave. This is because it also requires them to make annual filings, as long as they hold assets in the state, even though they no longer live there. Despite significant questions about the legality of such legislation, experts warn this could devastate the California economy. It will only further incentivize those with money to flee the state and as well to make sure they no longer have assets, such as a …

Udder madness

A Tennessee farmer, Stephanie Nash, recently reacted to a decision by French dairy giant Danone to require cattle to wear diapers and masks in an effort to reduce methane emissions as an idea birthed “loony town,” Fox News reports. The company made the announcement in mid-January 2023 stating it would reduce the methane emissions coming from flatulence and burps by 30%. Nash responded by calling the move ‘udder madness’ in an interview with Tucker Carlson, stating she tried to put a mask on one of her cows and immediately noticed that it was struggling to breathe.

Turkey’s earthquake shifted the country by upwards of 10 feet

In his vision of the end times, the Apostle John described seeing an earthquake that he described the biggest earthquake the world has ever seen (Revelation 16:17-20). It would split a city, that he called Babylon into three parts and destroy cities in neighboring nations. In the verse, Johns saw islands fleeing and mountains disappearing which suggests that the shake was so massive it caused islands and mountains to shift (Revelation 16:20) or perhaps to be wiped out by tsunamis. The Daily Mail reports that the recent earthquake in Turkey says it was so powerful that it actually shifted the nation of Turkey by upwards of 10 feet (ca. 3 m). According to one Italian seismologist, satellite images reveal that Turkey could have moved as much as 18 feet (5.49 m) in relation to its neighbor, Syria, also hit by the earthquake. Turkey was hit by two massive earthquakes, 7.8 and 7.5 magnitudes, on Monday, Feb 6, 2023. According to recent reports, the death toll is over 5,000 and still climbing. Despite all the devastation …

CBS tweeted it was ‘ready to worship’ in lead up to Grammy’s ‘tribute to Satan’?

Yesterday, I reported on how some suggested the Grammy Awards looked like a tribute to Satan after singers Sam Smith and Kim Smith’s performance at the Grammys had a satanic theme with Smith dressed up as Satan. At moments, it seemed the dancers were worshiping Satan. The Satanic theme continued with other guests referencing the devil. It was so overt that the host was even forced to address it. The Daily Mail reported that some described the Grammys as a ‘tribute to Satan.’ Now The Blaze alleges that shortly after Sam Smith had sent out a tweet that his Grammy Performance was going to be special, CBS sent out a tweet in response that it was ‘ready to worship.’ CBS has since deleted its tweet. But why would CBS send out a tweet that it was ‘ready to worship’ unless it knew what was coming?

Diesel generators needed to keep wind turbines running?

The Scottish government has more egg on its face as it has been revealed that many of its wind turbines scattered across the country have diesel engines attached to them in order to keep them running, Breitbart reports. The extreme left-wing government, which has gone fully delusional in its push for green energy, has installed diesel generators on 71 of its windmills to keep them warm. “During December 60 turbines at Arecleoch and 11 at Glenn App were de-energised due to a cabling fault… In order to get these turbines re-energised diesel generators were running for upwards of six hours a day,” the Sunday Mail reported. It seems that even green energy can’t function without oil and gas. And of course, this has also resulted in skyrocketing energy prices in Scotland.

2023 Grammys: A ‘Tribute to Satan’?

Many viewers of the 65th annual Grammy Awards held on Sunday night, Feb 5, 2023, in Los Angeles, described the performance of the duo, Sam Smith and Kim Petras, as a ‘tribute to Satan’, the Daily Mail reports. Grammys are described as music’s biggest night and the two gave the performance after winning the Best Pop Duo/Group performance award. Smith who wore satanic headgear and at times seemed to be accepting worship from the dancers prompted several tweets that talked about the heavy satanic themes seen during this year’s ceremony, which included other performers talking about Satan. It was so obvious that the ceremony host was even forced to jokingly talk about it. The Daily Mail provided several tweets of people’s responses to the performance: ‘I know we on the right probably use the word satanic too often but this performance from Sam Smith is literally a tribute to Satan.’ ‘You don’t have to be super religious to be disturbed by that Sam Smith devil-worshiping performance.’ ‘That Sam Smith performance was weird I had to …

Poll: 67% of Canadians say Canada is broken

A recent survey conducted by Leger found that 67% of Canadians agree that Canada is broken and that is because the Government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not focussing on issues that matter to Canadians, the National Post reports. While the legacy media suggests that it is just old white men who are complaining about the country’s woke and out-of-touch Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, Leger says that is not true The poll found: In addition, over 50% expressed anger over how Prime Minister Trudeau is running the country and 20% stated they were ‘very angry.’ This is due largely to Trudeau implementing policies that suit his personal left-wing agenda instead of focussing on issues that matter to Canadians. When it comes to issues important to average Canadians, 68% stated that inflation is their biggest concern and only 28% believe the Trudeau government recognizes this is a serious problem.

Communist China spy balloon disturbing update

We have a bit more information on the Communist China spy balloon that US President Joe Biden allowed to fly over the US the past few days, before finally destroying it. Apparently, there were actually two of them, as a spy balloon has since been spotted over Latin America. It seems that these are not your typically styled weather balloons that float where the currents take them, these are maneuverable and able to change direction. In a response to a question by a reporter at the Pentagon News conference, Air Force Brigadier Gen. Patrick Ryder said: “So I’m not going to go into any specific intelligence that we may have. Again, we know this is a Chinese balloon and that it has the ability to maneuver, but I’ll just leave it at that.” This explains why it was able to hover over sensitive nuclear missile sites in Montana.

Poll: Americans cite the government as the country’s biggest problem

In Jan 2023 Gallup Poll, Americans were asked to rank the greatest problems facing America. At the top of the list was government with 21 percent stating it was the country’s biggest concern. In a similar poll held in Nov/Dec 2022, only 15% believed that the government was America’s biggest headache. Inflation came in second at 15% in the January poll. This was followed by immigration at 11%, the economy at 10% and unifying the country at 6%. It could be argued that the government is largely responsible for all the top five concerns facing America.

Communist China spy balloon(s) discovered flying over sensitive military sites in the US and Canada

Communist China spy balloons have been reported over both the US and Canada, the Daily Mail reports. The US and Canadian military are tracking ‘high-altitude surveillance’ balloons. In the US, the balloon, which is the size of three buses, may have flown over highly sensitive nuclear missile sites in Montana. The balloon entered US airspace two days ago and Americans are asking the obvious question, why has US President Joe Biden not ordered it shot down yet? Some have speculated that there may be only one balloon that has been moving over the airspace of both countries. The Chinese Communist Party has, of course, denied all allegations stating that it follows all international laws.

Christian mother sues school for forcing her four-year-old child to participate in a gay-pride parade

A Christian mother in England has taken legal action against the school her four-year-old child attends, because teachers forced him to participate in a gay-pride parade in 2018, against his family’s wishes, the Daily Mail reports. In June 2018, Heavers Farm Primary School in London sent a letter to parents inviting them to participate in a gay pride parade on June 29, 2018. When Izzy Montague, 38, responded and asked that her child be exempt from attending, a teacher told her that attendance was mandatory. Montague says that she and her husband are devout Christians and do not believe their child should be forced to participate in an event that the family does not agree with. In an interview with Christian Concern (below), Montague said there were several parents who expressed concerns about their child’s participation in the parade, but were ignored. Montague added that these children did not consent to participate in this parade. Montague says that when she met with her child’s teacher in September, 2018, the teacher’s child was wearing a t-shirt …

Because of overwhelming interest, the finale of ‘The Chosen’ will have an extended stay in theaters

Because of overwhelming interest, the season finale of The Chosen, a TV series based on the life of Jesus, will have an extended stay in theaters, the Daily Wire reports. Season three’s final two episodes, 7 and 8, were scheduled to play in selected theaters across America on Feb 2 and Feb 3, however, because of interest CBN is reporting that this will now be extended to Feb 6. The finale will feature one of the major Gospel stories, the feeding of the 5,000. When the first two episodes of Season 3 aired in 2,012 theaters in November 2022, they were the third most watch movie in America that weekend, grossing $8.7 million. It finished behind, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Menu which were seen in over 3,000 theaters that same weekend, but was ahead of Disney productions. The Chosen differs from many Christians movies about Jesus and the disciples, because it portrays them a real, quirky people. “[They are] real, vaguely neurotic people, busting free of the stained-glass images that have long enshrined …

Study: Antarctica and the Arctic have not warmed in 70 years despite increasing CO2 emissions

Climate Alarmists have been warning for years that because of man-made global warming, the Antarctica ice caps were going to melt and basically wash away our coastal cities. In August 2021, the left-wing website, Salon, posted an article entitled, “This is what New York City will look like after climate change” to stoke those fears of what will happen if we don’t quit driving SUVs. It wrote that “Scalding temperatures, rising sea levels and changing weather will fundamentally remake the Big Apple.” But there is a problem with this hyper-fear mongering because it seems that despite record amounts of CO2 still being poured into the earth’s atmosphere, the Arctic and Antarctica have not gotten warmer over the past seventy years. The Daily Skeptic provides more details: “A recent paper from two climate scientists (Singh and Polvani) accepts that Antarctica has not warmed in the last seven decades, despite an increase in the atmospheric greenhouse gases. It is noted that the two polar regions present a “conundrum” for understanding present day climate change, as recent warming differs …

Catholic students wearing pro-life caps were kicked out of the Smithsonian?

The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C has allegedly kicked out a group of Catholic high school students because they were wearing hats with a pro-life message, The Blaze reports. The students, who attend a Catholic school in Greenville County, South Carolina, were in the city for the annual March for Life held on Jan 20, 2023, and decided to visit the museum. Shortly after entering they were approached by a security guard and told to leave because the museum was a ‘neutral zone.’ The parents allege it was due to the tuques the students were wearing. In an interview with WYFF-TV, Nora Kriegel, one of the parents of the children involved, said: “They should be allowed to wear the hats that they were wearing and to be able to express themselves. And I felt it was very wrong that this person harassed them.“ American Center of Law and Justice immediately stepped up to represent the students. The Smithsonian has since apologized after hearing about the incident and added that steps were …

Why is the Communist China interested in buying up American farmland?

In an article for Fox News, Jeremy Hunt writes that over the past ten years, the value of land owned by corporations with ties to Communist China has increased from an estimated value of $80 million in 2010 to $1.8 billion in 2020. Hunt, who works as a media fellow at Hudson Institute, then explains why the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is so interested in buying up farmland in America: Home to 20 percent of the global population, but only 7 to 9 percent of the world’s arable land, China is an extreme food shortage. To combat the crisis, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) devised a decades-long strategy of purchasing millions of acres of American farmland, livestock, seeds and food supply lines from the United States. Hunt adds that members of congress will soon be introducing a bill, the PASS Act, that would prevent Russia, China, North Korea and Iran from purchasing American farmland. The Act would also prevent the purchase of Agricultural related businesses. For a list of some Agricultural related industries that Communist …

Pro-life protestor found not guilty by a jury of his peers

A pro-life dad who was arrested at gunpoint by the FBI has been found not guilty by a jury of his peers, The Blaze reports. The Federal Justice Department had charged Mark Houck, 48, under the FACE act with trying to “injure, intimidate and interfere” with an individual who was working for a Planned Parenthood clinic. The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act makes it illegal to interfere, intimidate or injure anyone seeking an abortion. The charge arose after Houck pushed a 72-year-old man who was volunteering to escort people into the Planned Parenthood Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in October 2021. Houck admitted shoving the man, but said it had nothing to do with the man’s volunteer work with the clinic, but because the man had been harassing Houck’s 12-year-old son. If found guilty under the FACE Act, Houck faced a potential 11-year sentence and a $350,000 fine. Many believe the case was brought forth by the Federal Justice Department simply to intimidate pro-lifers and other people of faith. Houck …

Afghan Taliban warn universities about allowing women to take entrance exams

According to a report by Fox News, the Taliban in Afghanistan are continuing to put down women in that country by warning universities to not allow women to take entrance exams. The news came in the form of a letter, that a Taliban official sent to private colleges in Afghanistan. The Taliban enforce a hard-line interpretation of Islamic law in the country and this was part of the group’s continuing clamp down on women. It had previously instituted a law forbidding women from attending post-secondary schools. The extremist group had earlier banned girls from attending middle and high school in that country. Along with this, the Taliban have introduced legislation limiting a woman’s ability to work outside the home and to leave her home without a chaperone.

World’s most crime-ridden McDonald’s in Ottawa, Canada to close

We have been hearing stories about how businesses are closing in California and other US states because of rampant crime due to Democrat prosecutors-easy-on crime policies, well the trend is happening in Canada, Fox News reports. Apparently, a McDonald’s restaurant in Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, has decided to close down due to rampant crime. It has been dubbed the world’s most crime-ridden McDonald’s. As Charles Bordeleau, Ottawa’s former chief of police explained in his letter to the McDonald’s CEO in 2019: “Officers attend this location on a daily basis to address issues including vagrancy, liquor license violations, illicit drug use, and incidents of violence.” Fox News added that in 2017, police responded to 900 calls from that particular McDonald’s location and along with 843 in 2018. In 2019, the location called police over seven times a day during a two-day stretch in April. And more recently, customers are reporting finding hypodermic needles on the floor of the restaurant.

A woman that Newsom depicted in an ad as being sad over Roe vs Wade ruling was actually jubilant because she is pro-life

When California Governor Gavin Newsom decided to run a pro-abortion ad, he used an image of a woman crying outside the US Supreme Court to depict the sadness and panic women were feeling because of the overturning of Roe vs Wade, The Blaze reports. However, maybe he should have checked with the woman first before including her image because her name was Macy Petty, a Lee University student and pro-life activist. In response, Petty tweeted “Panic? Sad? Try ecstatic, blown away by God’s grace on this country” and posted her response to both the Governor’s official and personal Twitter accounts. On her Instagram account, Petty went further and accused Newsom of trying to put his words in her mouth: “California governor Gavin Newsom has used my image in one of his political ads in yet another attempt to show his support for women. He and pro abortion Democrats have one again shown Americans that they care little for my voice as a woman.” She also asked Newsom to take down the ad or remove her …

Third-grader wins battle with her school over ‘Jesus Loves Me’ facemask

In 2020, third-grader Lydia Booth was forced to wear a facemask at school because of Covid, but got into a heap of trouble with her Simpson County School District in Mississippi when she wore a facemask that said: “Jesus love me,” Fox News reports. Kids throughout the school were wearing facemasks with words on them and Lydia had worn the mask several times, with no complaints. Note, the facemask didn’t say “Jesus loves you” it was an expression of her personal faith of God’s love for her. Lydia said that in the midst of the pandemic, the facemask helped her feel safe. But that changed when the school district decided to change its policy in the middle of its school year and disallow masks with political and religious messages on them. As soon as the edict was passed, Lydia was told she could no longer wear the mask. It was noted that, Lydia’s facemask did not cause disruption in the school and none of the students had complained about it. But obviously, someone didn’t like …

American Hispanic protestant churches reporting growth

According to a survey conducted by Lifeway Research, Hispanic churches across the US have seen significant growth in recent years, Christian Headlines reports. The survey found that most of the Hispanic churches (54%) were started after 2000 including 32% after 2010. Lifeway Executive Director Scott McConnell described the growth as remarkable. He added while many of the churches sprung out of English-speaking churches, he said that 14% of the Hispanic churches originated from within Hispanic communities themselves. Additionally, with 58% of their congregation members being first-generation Americans, meaning they were born outside the US, 53% of the services are conducted in Spanish only and 22% of Hispanic churches hold bilingual services. The Hispanic churches are also active in evangelization with 79% of pastors reporting that they schedule regular evangelistic activities for their churches. This ranges from official outreaches such as door-to-door evangelism to holding festivals and other community activities where members can invite neighbors and friends. Nearly half the churches (47%) report they have seen ten or more people making commitments to Christ through these …

Video: A Jewish man’s analysis of the Shroud of Turin

I have never been exactly sure what to think about the Shroud of Turin, which some believe was the burial cloth used to cover Christ’s body in the tomb. The shroud has an image of a man somehow etched in the cloth, that not only includes blood stains but seems to reveal the wounds of a man who had been crucified. Some believe this image was somehow burned into the cloth at Christ’s resurrection. Note: burn is the wrong word to use to describe how it happened. Though I have tended to reject it as legitimate, this video by Barrie Schwortz, who was part of a team of experts called in to examine the cloth several years back, has caused me to at least reconsider my position. Schwortz is convinced of its legitimacy. But here is the catcher, he is not only Jewish, but he was also a skeptic when asked to help examine the shroud.

A man shouting ‘death to Christian’ kills one and injured four in a machete attack on two churches in Spain

A man armed with a machete attacked the members of two Catholic churches in Spain on Wednesday, Jan 25, 2023, leaving at least one dead and four injured, The Telegraph reports. One of the injured, a priest, is in serious condition with a neck injury. According to witnesses, the man entered the churches in Algeciras located in Southern Spain, shouting ‘death to Christians’ and ‘Allahu akbar’. Authorities believe it could be a terrorist attack. Police have since arrested a 25-year-old Moroccan, who they believed acted alone. The man had been issued deportation orders a year earlier.

It costs more to charge an EV, than fill a gas-powered vehicle in Britain

People promoting electric vehicles told us that they were cheaper to operate than gas powered vehicles. Well, that green dream may soon be coming to an end. A British study says it is now cheaper to fill up a gas-powered car in England than an electric one as the price of electricity in that country has soared, The Telegraph reports. According to a report by AA, electric vehicles cost more per mile to operate than gas-powered vehicle, a difference of 16.18 pence per mile for an EV compared to 14.45 pence per mile for gas. This is the equivalent of £10 more per fill. And with the British government considering a ban on the sale of petrol vehicles over the next few years, the demand for and cost of electricity will only continue to rise.

WEF speaker told not to use the words God, religion or faith in his talk about ‘keeping the faith’

At the recent World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting held in Davos, Switzerland, the organization actually held a session on ‘keeping the faith’. However, there was one major caveat, the speaker, Farhan Latif, was told not to mention ‘God’, ‘faith’ or ‘religion’ during his speech, LifeSite News reports. “Before I jump in, I want to offer a trigger warning for the audience. As I was preparing for this session … they told me, ‘Don’t use the words religion, faith, and God,’ and so I just ask people to translate that to ‘mindfulness,’ ‘purpose-driven,’ ‘spirituality,’” said Latif who serves as president of the El-Hibri Foundation. It was probably a joke and though Latif’s comments were met with laughter from the crowd, some wonder if it represents a deeper sentiment about removing God from any discussions about the future of the world. As Emily Manigiarcina explains in her article for LifeSite, God is a threat to WEF’s globalist agenda writing: In fact, God and authentic religion are a threat to the WEF’s agenda, not only because they …
