TOP STORIES
CCP TURNS JESUS INTO A SINNING COMMUNIST – The Chinese Communist Party is 10 years into a project to rewrite the bible to turn Jesus into a Communist. The “bible” is to become the “official state sanctioned book” of the “official state sanctioned Christian church.” All other versions of the bible and all churches that reject this “bible” will continue to be persecuted unto death as they have been since the Communist Party took over the land.

MEXICO WANTS BIDEN ADMIN TO ALLOW THEM TO BANKRUPT AMERICAN GUN MANUFACTURERS – The nation of Mexico had the audacity to attempt to sue gun manufacturers for crimes committed using their guns. They were inspired by the Democrats to do this after they allowed gun manufacturers to be sued by American citizens for the same reason, a move that, if it is allowed to stand, would end gun manufacturing and selling in America, which is what both Mexico and the Biden administration want. Mexico was shut down in the lawsuit and now they want another bite at the treacherous apple, making themselves an enemy of the American people. GO DEEPER
DEMOCRAT YOUTH HATE AMERICA, POLL SHOWS – A new Gallop poll revealed only 12 percent of Democrats between the ages of 18 and 34 are “extremely proud” to be American, in contrast to 42 percent of Republicans in the same age group.

MYANMAR CONFLICT SPILLS INTO MANIPUR – Reports of armed groups from Myanmar joining “rebel forces” in Manipur to fight Manipur security forces have experts worried the ongoing civil war in Myanmar is destabilizing its neighbors, with Manipur potentially taking the full brunt of the instability. Manipur investigators originally thought the foreigners present in the assault were terrorists imported from other parts of the world, but now they’ve come to believe the shooters came from Myanmar.

AI BECOMING PRECRIME TOOL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT IN AMERICA AND UK – In 2001, the UK introduced an early AI program called Oasys to help them develop a pre-crime strategy against former inmates. Since then, the program has expanded, but with little accountability, causing some to question the legality of the system that seems to pre-emptively violate the rights of citizens based on the presumption they’re about to commit a crime. The program has gained much interest from American authorities. Similar programs are sold to American law enforcement today. GO DEEPER

INTERNATIONAL GAS PRICES SOARING AS WORLD COMES BACK ONLINE – After nearly 3 years of a decrease in fuel demand during the Covid-19 shutdowns, the world has not only returned to pre-Covid-19 levels, it has surpassed it.

ABANDONED OIL TANKER REMAINS AN ECOLOGICAL THREAT TO THE RED SEA – Almost 10 years ago an oil tanker named FSO Safer was abandoned in the Red Sea with up to 1 million barrels of crude oil in it. Now, a UN-led operation is underway to try to stop the rusting tanker from leaking its crude into the Red Sea. The UN has known about the tanker since 2019 but the war in Yemen has prevented them from getting to it until now.

The emails show the White House was pushing Facebook to remove posts that contradicted their narratives involving the Hunter Biden laptop and Covid-19, even though the official narrative turned out to be the misinformation Americans were being barraged with, not the people and content that were censored.

These three main features have the potential to revolutionize navigation inside the body.”
