Scientists Discover the Most Primitive Form of “Thought-Making” Cells

Paul Collier September 22, 2023

A primitive animal called a placozoan may contain the secrets of the fundamental building blocks of thought-making cells. The animal is blob-like in appearance and is composed of only 50,000 cells, compared to 30 trillion cells humans are comprised of. But the blob placozoan has one similarity with humans, they have cells capable of sharing messages with one another, the fundamental building blocks of “thought producing” cells.

From elpias.com: The researchers care for thousands of placozoans in their laboratory in the Center for Genomic Regulation, in Barcelona. According to their calculations, multicellular animals emerged about 850 million years ago. Soon afterward, around 800 million years ago, the paths of the families that gave rise to placozoans and humans diverged. “People have a tendency to see living fossils in nature. We don’t know if our common ancestor looked like a placozoan, but some aspects of its biology were already there,” says Sebé Pedrós, a 37-year-old biologist from the Spanish town of Lleida. GO DEEPER

His team studied the four known species of placozoans cell by cell, including the first placozoan ever discovered, which was found in 1883 by the German zoologist Franz Eilhard Schulze in a seawater aquarium in Graz, Austria. Schulze baptized that mysterious creature Trichoplax adhaerens, from the Greek words thrix (hair) and plax (plate) and the Latin word adhaerens (adhering), which was given this name due to its tendency to stick to its substrate. In other words, its name could be roughly translated as “adhering hairy plate.” Placozoans are the simplest animals on the planet, barring Myxozoa, parasites with few cells that cannot live on their own.

In their research, Sebé Pedrós and his colleagues observed that placozoans are capable of coordinating their 50,000 cells thanks to the fact that some of them can send messages using molecules called neuropeptides, like the neurons in the human brain. “We have found a rudiment of certain aspects of our nervous system,” says the biologist. These secretory cells still lack the processes that transmit nerve impulses (axons) and the processes that receive them (dendrites) in human neurons.

This article starts off with this phrase, which led this writer to want to utilize this story, and another one related to it, to flush out the ramifications of pursuing understanding through the framework of the atheist materialist versus that of the biblically-centered Christian: Most religions across the world have a similar origin story, in which an almighty god creates mankind, out of nothing, with a fully functioning brain. But placozoans — a blob-like animal less than a millimeter in size that floats in seawater — suggest otherwise. They may go unnoticed, but they are extraordinary creatures.

From an atheist materialist perspective, you are seeing the evidence of the relationship that this blob creature, this placozoan, has with humans. We must have a common ancestor and at some time we split apart, with one branch leading to blobs and the other leading to humans. From a biblical perspective (the perspective this report seeks to emulate) we are seeing one of the ways in which God has created the fundamental building blocks of his biological creations.

Studying this organism can lead us to better understand human thought as a biological phenomenon, which can lead to more effective treatments for people who suffer a biological impediment to thought itself.

At the same time as this study was revealed, scitechdaily.com covered another study that theorized genes for thought (they use the phrase “learning and memory”) are 650 million years old. They theorize that the emergence of these types of genes led to the Cambrian Explosion, a period that saw an explosion of diverse organisms that still confounds evolutionary theory to this day (and which this new “theory” fails to adequately address).

From SciTech Daily: “This finding has profound implications on the evolutionary origin of complex behaviors such as those modulated by monoamines we observe in humans and other animals.”

The authors suggest that this new way to modulate neuronal circuits might have played a role in the Cambrian Explosion – known as the Big Bang – which gave rise to the largest diversification of life for most major animal groups alive today by providing flexibility of the neural circuits to facilitate the interaction with the environment.

Dr. Feuda added: “This discovery will open new important research avenues that will clarify the origin of complex behaviors and if the same neurons modulate reward, addiction, aggression, feeding, and sleep.”

In 1620, Francis Bacon published the work “The Great Instauration.” That book could be seen as the unintended starting point of the quest for man to make himself by deriving wisdom from below instead of from above. Bacon himself was no proponent of this materialist myth, the myth these researchers are mired in, rather, he recognized that the use of what is called “induction,” (deriving higher principles from lower ones, such as observing material and documenting your observations, which became the scientific method) can be a great tool for Christians to understand material being for the higher purpose of witnessing the glory of God to all creation by being a steward of material, by manipulating material for the glory of God. When it came to wisdom, Bacon was still using deduction, deriving particular truths, atomized truths if you will, from higher truths, the Word of God through which the nature and will of God is revealed through the Holy Spirit to all those who fear and love the Lord.

It was a Christian invention, the scientific method, derived to glorify God, but in the hands of these researchers, and others like them, it’s become a Satanic tool that seeks to glorify man by imagining he can derive his own wisdom (he can “know”, or define, Good and Evil for himself, he can define justice) from the stones, from the material alone.

So their research is about justifying their own depravity, rejecting the creator in exchange for a lie, rather than what Christian researchers would do, use this understanding of the basic building blocks of thought to create aid and comfort to creation for the purpose of glorifying the only living God, the God of Isaac and Jacob, the I Am tnat is Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Artificial Womb is Ready for Human Testing

Artificial Womb is Ready for Human Testing

Paul Collier September 21, 2023

Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) are ready to test their artificial womb on humans. In 2017, the researchers used the artificial womb to help premature baby lambs grow to full gestation. Now, 6 years later, the researchers are ready to begin trials on humans.

From scientificamerican.com:

In a natural womb, a fetus receives oxygen, nutrients, antibodies and hormonal signals and gets rid of waste through the placenta, a transient organ in which fetal blood interacts with maternal blood. Of these various roles, artificial-womb technology is most focused on providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide, replacing the mechanical ventilators that are often used for neonates. These can damage fragile developing lungs that would otherwise still be filled with amniotic fluid.

The artificial womb “would bridge a baby born extremely premature through those days and weeks when they’re most at risk for lung and brain damage,” Werner says. The CHOP group has signalled that it would wean babies off its system after a few weeks, when their organs are more fully developed and their likelihood of healthy survival is higher.

The group’s system would work by placing extremely premature babies into what it calls a Biobag, filled with an electrolyte-laden fluid designed to mimic amniotic fluid. Surgeons would connect the blood vessels in the umbilical cord to a system that oxygenates blood outside the body. The fetal heart would still pump blood as it does in the natural womb.

The researchers have named their artificial womb, EXTEND, which stands for Extra-Uterine Environment for Newborn Development. The womb is NOT supposed to be a replacement for a human womb unless and until a newborn is less than 70 percent of the way to to full term. As a matter of fact, the womb wouldn’t, couldn’t fully gestate a human child from conception to birth.

A fetal surgeon at CHOP, Dr. Alan Flake, said of the experiment, “If it’s as successful as we think it can be, ultimately, the majority of pregnancies that are predicted at-risk for extreme prematurity would be delivered early onto our system rather than being delivered premature onto a ventilator.”

It appears that the team intentionally developed a womb that can never be used to gestate a human for a full pregnancy term, and thus they seem to wish to hope to avoid the ethical questions that might otherwise rise from such an experiment.

Still, the very creation of an artificial womb opens up many scientific ethical questions, such as “is it moral to “grow” humans in laboratories? It is only a matter of time, after all, until some research team decides to take what’s learned through EXTEND and seek to build an artificial womb that COULD allow scientists to “grow” humans in laboratories.

We have no idea just how important to the development of a human being it is to be gestated in the womb of another living human being. Beyond the basic biological needs and protections a womb provides, there may be other elements of gestation science might not ever be able to grasp (such as the “emotional” needs a mother might provide to the unborn child that a fake womb would never be able to duplicate).

The development of this technology COULD lead to more dangerous artificial wombs that COULD one day lead to humans being grown in labs, but it could also save the lives of thousands of premature babies per year in America alone.

It is probably only a matter of time before some state will allow experiments that lead to growing humans in labs, but, despite that, this particular development could be a game-changer for so many parents that might otherwise have lost their child, but now might have options to save their child’s life.

Trump Wants Republicans to Go Easy on Abortion Issue

Trump Wants Republicans to Go Easy on Abortion Issue

Paul Collier September 19, 2023

Former President Donald Trump is calling on Republicans to moderate their approach to abortion, saying they “speak very inarticulately” about abortion. Trump, speaking in an NBC interview said that if he were elected, on the abortion issue He would “sit down with both sides and I’d negotiate something, and we’ll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years.”

This writer is pressing x to doubt on that claim, as abortion is an issue that individuals in this country will never be satisfied with until, on one side, it’s ended almost completely (save for exceptions such as rape, incest, and the health of the mother, more on that later), or, on the other side, has no restrictions applied at all.

Trump warned Republicans that going hard on this issue could lose them votes in most places, saying, “Other than certain parts of the country, you can’t- you’re not going to win on this issue.” He was speaking specifically of efforts to restrict abortions even in the cases of incest, rape, and the health of the mother, though such legislation is not widely supported, even among most “hardcore” Pro-Life supporters.

Trump even went so far as to say that efforts by Florida to outlaw abortions after six weeks was “a terrible, terrible mistake.” He said, “What’s going to happen is you’re going to come up with a number of weeks or months, you’re going to come up with a number that’s going to make people happy.”

One of the major criticisms of Trump is his tendency to be “pragmatic” rather than consistent in our ideals. It’s a critique leveled at conservatism in general, and is one of the major reasons this writer doesn’t identify as a conservative even if, socially, the Ven diagram between myself and conservatives overlaps considerably.

As if to accentuate his pragmatism, he also said, “From a pure standpoint, from a legal standpoint, I think it’s probably better. But I can live with it either way. It could be state or could it federal, I don’t frankly care.”

We made the case in a report I wrote called “Abortion or the Republic, You Can’t Have Both,” that winning elections by compromising on abortion won’t actually restore or preserve our republic.

From our report on abortion and the GOP:

The Republican Party has long been the only party openly supporting making the murdering of unborn children illegal. Now, it faces a hostile crowd that has been inured to the evil of abortion as surely as a dairy farmer gets inured to the smell of cow manure after working in those conditions for years. Now, the Republican party appears ready to seek to win elections over defending the underlying American standard that gives our republic its legitimacy, that all humans are created in God’s image, and thus entitled to the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The question for the Republican Party is this: Would you rather win and lose the republic or lose and keep fighting to restore and preserve the republic?

We can posit this question to Donald Trump, the far-and-away frontrunner for the GOP Presidential nomination and ask him if he even understands what he is surrendering by seeking to drive the GOP down the path of “compromise” on the abortion issue (never mind his strawman argument against banning abortions without exceptions, like rape, incest, and the health of the mother, which aren’t seriously considered by the Pro-Life community).

I realize my position on abortion, that it should be outlawed altogether save for the exceptions already listed, is cutting against the overwhelming worldviews of most Americans, but I hold to my assertion that if you want an American republic where the individual is assumed to have God-given rights to self-stewardship, you cannot support abortion. I might be fighting windmills or battling the wind itself in making this claim, but I believe it is the right proclamation to make, come what may.

From Ezekiel 3:16-19

“ And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me: ‘Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, “You shall surely die,” and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘”

Abortion or the Republic, You Can’t Have Both

Paul Collier September 19, 2023

By Paul Collier, Editor

INTRODUCTION

Many Americans have long debated the causes behind the Civil War that left 750,000 dead. That war was fought ostensibly over states’ rights, or maybe commerce rights, or maybe because of slavery. Whatever reason you suppose the Civil War was fought, or even what the combatants THOUGHT they were fighting for, America’s first Civil War was fought because the spirit that gives our government its authority was undermined by the existence of slavery.

Our nation’s authority comes from the government’s demonstrated respect for the sovereign and sacred rights of individuals to steward their own lives by defining happiness and prosperity for themselves, and having the freedom to pursue that happiness and prosperity however they see fit. The only check on that freedom is that Americans also demonstrate respect for the sovereignty and sacredness of their neighbors as well.

I hope in this report to show you the cold, discouraging truth about the spirit in this land today, a spirit that has no connection to the republic’s legitimization of authority and has become increasingly ready to sub-humanize first the unborn and then any neighbor that stands against their hedonistic desires.

After that, I will make the case as to why the GOP should continue to stand defiantly, even if it means losing elections today, for tomorrow, an abortion-supporting GOP is no more legitimate as an American party than the DNC is.

A. THE ORIGINS OF THE FOUNDING SPIRIT OF AMERICA

Throughout the course of human history, government authority has come from many sources. More often than not, that authority came from some form of priest-king alliance, be it in one person or through some form of bicameral governance model. The Priest confirms the King’s divine right to rule, or the King is divinely confirmed through his status as a demi-god, god, or priest of the nation’s religion.

The Greeks may well be the first to have created a government based on the idea of a contract that restricts the government’s right to rule, be it through a democracy where the majority decides most key policies, or a republic, where checks and balances within the government prevent power from being consolidated at the top.

The Greeks, though, did not form governments around an idea about the state of humanity, but rather, pragmatically, as an effort to keep power from consolidating at the top (which, more often than not, they failed to do over any significant period of time).

The Christian ideal of every individual being the image of God, regardless of race or sex, led to the idea of liberty that became more fully a political expression in the modern sense of the term by the end of the 18^th century.

The Western state no longer derived its authority from the divine right of Kings, or the divinity of the King himself. They derived their authority from being legitimized through the free will of the people who affirmed their right to rule, usually through some form of democratic vote. Even where monarchies persisted (and still do), they remained largely powerless, as the legislative body and the executive branch became the primary sources of decision-making.

To be sure, the workarounds began almost immediately for tyrannical oligarchies and dictatorships to continue with the illusion of reflecting the will of the people, most commonly through sub-humanizing the opposition so that only those who legitimize the state are recognized as being human (a favorite tactic of both the authoritarian “left” and “right”).

Still, in the West, the prevailing method of governance became increasingly “republican” in nature, with governments with multiple branches that checked the power of other branches in some way to ensure power did not consolidate at the top, using some form of democratic process to elect representatives that would write the laws of the republic.

Nationalism is one method of ensuring the state has an identity that legitimizes its reason for existence, to protect and prosper the nation, which mostly aligns biological ethnicity with the nations.

This is a very abbreviated and somewhat simplified version of the backdrop America emerged from. Our founders borrowed heavily from the Christian assumption that led to the emergence of Western-styled republics starting in the 17^th century, that all humans are made in God’s image, and thus entitled to an assumption of “equality” that should only be affected by the individual’s demonstration of integrity and character, not by the imagined characterization of their race or sex.

If we are all not presumed to be sacred individuals endowed by our creator with the right to life, especially for our unborn, we cannot hold our nation together under a standard that is existentially undermined by murdering unborn children.

B. ABORTION BELIEFS BY THE NUMBERS

The spirit of America is waning across this country, as can be evidenced in numerous ways (including the fact that a party that openly calls for its dismantling still attracts about half the voting public to its cause), but no statistics are more relevant to this reality than those connected to abortion.

1. ABORTION APPROVAL FOR BIDEN – A recent poll by CNN shows 40 percent of Americans support President Joe Biden’s abortion policy, which also aligns with his approval rating as tabulated by another CNN poll, 41 percent. The figures might suggest that those who support abortion for any reason at any time are about 40 percent of the population; however, that doesn’t exactly appear to be the case.

2. PEW RESEARCH’S ANALYSIS – According to the Pew Research Center, only 8 percent of American adults want abortion to be outlawed completely, while 19 percent believe abortion should be totally legal without exception. A VOX article covering this poll claims that this means Americans would not approve of the striking down of Roe V Wade, even though that decision was not ruling on the legality of abortion but rather the right of states to decide the legality of abortion.

The most disturbing figure from the Pew Poll might be the claim that 54 percent of Americans support abortion if the baby has “severe disabilities” or “health issues,” with no clear definition of what “severe” and “issues” mean.

3. THE YOUGOV POLL – A YouGov poll attempted to dig deeper into the nuance of Americans’ abortion beliefs. In that poll, it found Americans weren’t aware of when abortions mostly take place, why people get them, who gets them, and how common they are.

From the YouGov site:

A recent YouGov poll tested Americans’ knowledge of 10 facts relating to abortion in the United States. The results reveal that many Americans overestimate how far along into pregnancy most abortions are performed and underestimate the share of abortion patients who have already given birth to other children. More people are able to accurately estimate the percentage of pregnancies that are unplanned, as well as the share of abortions performed on women with incomes below the poverty line.

In case you’re interested, abortions are mostly performed within the first six weeks of pregnancy, they’re mostly done by people who already have kids (which makes this worse in this writer’s opinion), 42 percent of unplanned pregnancies end in abortion, and after decades of abortion decline, abortion has gone up 8 percent from 2017 to 2020.

4. ANOTHER PEW RESEARCH POLL – Pew Research conducted a poll that attempted to break down how Americans feel about abortion, particularly how different factions feel about abortion. In the overall, the poll found 61 percent of Americans want abortion to be legal in all or most cases while 37 are against abortion in all or most cases.

The group with the strongest rejection of abortion is white evangelical protestants, with 74 percent believing most abortions should be illegal. The group with the strongest acceptance of abortion is the generic unaffiliated Americans, 84 percent of whom support abortions in most cases.

The non-evangelical “Christians” all support abortion in most cases, with 66 percent of black Protestants, 66 percent of non-evangelical white Protestants, and 56 percent of Catholics approving of abortions in most cases.

Only 60 percent of Republicans stand against abortions in all cases, while 80 percent of the party of child sacrifice, the DNC-CCP cultists, support abortion in most cases.

The breakdown of generic racial opinion on abortion reveals every major race supports abortion in most cases, with Asians supporting it at the highest level (74 percent) and whites supporting it at the lowest level (59 percent). So much for pro-life being a “white supremacist” thing, as the left would have you believe.

The state’s systematic brutalization of the youth through public schools has yielded the results the perverts in charge desired, as adults under the age of 30 support abortion at the highest level, 74 percent, with people 65 and up supporting abortion at the lowest level, 54 percent.

C. THE OHIO CANARY IN THE COAL MINE

A 2023 Referendum in Ohio reveals the truly daunting state of affairs pro-life candidates face in elections. The Republican-controlled legislature attempted to cut off the mobocracy from being able to use majoritarianism to tyrannize minorities by creating a referendum that would raise the standard for other referendums to be able to change state law. They wanted the referendum to hit 60 percent to become law, but the measure failed 57 percent to 43 percent in a state that Trump won by 8 points.

One of the key takeaways from the catastrophic results in Ohio comes from a NY Times article featured on Yahoo News: … The Ohio defeat was powered by a strong showing from Democratic and swing voters. Opponents overperformed in some critical suburban battleground counties. In Athens, for example, a Democratic bastion and the home of Ohio University, voters opposed the measure by 71%. Last fall, former Rep. Tim Ryan, the Democratic candidate who lost a Senate race to J.D. Vance, a Republican, won the county by 61%.

1. COPYING THE “SUCCESS” OF OHIO – Now that Ohio has worked out so well for the party of child sacrifice, the duplication of that effort is a foregone conclusion that is already being executed. It appears Florida is the next move for the party of child sacrifice as abortionists move to get a referendum that would change the Florida constitution to allow the murder of the unborn for any reason. The amendment would read, “No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s health care provider.”

It should be noted that “healthcare” and murder are oxymorons. A person willing to murder an unborn child is not a healthcare provider, that person is a hired assassin. Given the reality of the “American spirit,” it is no surprise the movement already has the half a million signatures they need to put this anti-American amendment on the ballot.

Crooks and Liars once again exposed the underlying assumption that gives the DNC-CCP its power, that the white devil will kill us all unless we end the American republic. At the end of their article on the Florida action, they wrote, “… But there’s reason to hope, Roberts says. Ohio’s state government, like Florida’s, is entirely owned by Republican extremists. But the abortion issue may yet slow their plans to turn America into a ‘white Christo-fascist autocracy.’”

To the DNC-CCP, biblically-based Christianity is white supremacism, meaning they equate belief in the God of the Bible to being racist, meaning they mean to criminalize belief in the God of the bible.

2. MORE ELECTION WORRIES FOR THE RNC – The leftist Molotov cocktail-throwing site Daily Kos is gleeful at the prospect of Americans choosing abortion over the republic. They say, Early in the 2022 midterm elections cycle, we at Daily Kos posited that Democrats would buck historical trends and win based on two factors: the MAGA assault on our democracy led by Donald Trump, and our illegitimate Supreme Court’s destruction of abortion rights.

As the 2024 election cycle takes shape, those exact dynamics are once again at play, but turned up to 11. Trump’s bald assault on our democracy is spotlighted by multiple existing and expected indictments, yet the Republican Party still can’t quit him….

What’s more, voters know darn well what is at stake in next year’s elections, with 29% of respondents saying they will “only vote for a candidate who shares your views on abortion,” compared to 26% last year. Another 55% will consider a candidate’s abortion stance when making their voting decisions. Given that only 25% think overturning Roe has had a “net positive effect” on the “United States States as a whole,” compared to 64% who disagree, Republicans don’t want anyone thinking about abortion when casting their ballots.

Another article from CNN shows the uphill battle pro-life candidates face at the national level:

Abortion doesn’t look like one of those issues, though. It most likely does drive votes. Take a look at last month’s CNN/SSRS poll. Nearly a third of voters (31%) said they’d only consider voting for a candidate who shared their position on abortion. Of those, 54% were Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents, while 37% were Republicans or Republican-leaning independents.

3. THE SOBERING ELECTION REALITY – An article in the Daily Signal expresses the dilemma that Republicans face in this anti-life environment the DNC-CCP machine cultivated through state school propaganda and the capture of social and cultural means of production: The unfortunate reality for abortion abolitionists is that American public sentiment does not yet match the orthodox pro-life claim: That human life as early as a fertilized egg or embryo, which possesses a unique genetic code, is dignified and inherently worthy of legal protection as “person(s)” under the meaning of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. It is true that courts and legislatures have acted ahead of trailing public opinion in many other instances, including the same-sex marriage fights of the last decade. But while Americans strongly oppose late-term abortion and – depending on the wording of a given poll – will often support abortion bans in the 12-15 weeks’ gestational range, the moral intuition of the median American regarding the inherent dignity of the human embryo simply does not yet accord with the orthodox pro-life stance. Again, that is the simple reality.

D. GOP BETRAYING THE UNBORN

The Republican Party, whose very name suggests they stand for the American republic (as opposed to the mobocracy that allows the majority to oppress the minority, as reflected in the Democratic party), is more and more not understanding that support of abortion existentially undermines the founding spirit that makes that republic possible, that every individual is sacred, made in God’s image, and endowed by their creator with the right to life.

1. GOP JUDGES RULING IN FAVOR OF ABORTION “RIGHTS” – A George W. Bush appointed Judge, Benjamin Settle, ruled that despite a church’s central mission of stopping abortions in this country they must be forced to provide deathcare coverage to employees who want to murder their unborn children. The Church is Cedar Park Assembly of God in Kirkland, Washington.

From christianpost.com – A federal judge has rejected a church’s argument that a Washington state law forcing faith-based organizations to cover elective abortions in their employee health plans violates the church’s religious freedom rights.

In a Tuesday ruling, Judge Benjamin Settle of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington sided with the state by determining that Senate Bill 6219 is “neutral” and that there is no evidence it was enacted to target any particular religion.

The ruling comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the conservative legal nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Cedar Park Assembly of God in Kirkland.

2. HANNITY SIGNALS NEW GOP TALKING POINTS ON ABORTION – Sean Hannity, a paid sponsor of the GOP with little to no self-opinion he’d be willing to express, is a bell-weather for the changing tide within the GOP as they prepare to attempt to win elections while losing American spirit. Hannity said during one of his recent shows, “I consider myself pro-life. I believe in the sanctity of life, but I think politically that there is – Republicans have gotta say as Bill Clinton once said – I never thought I’d quote him – ‘rare,’ ‘legal,’ and I’d add the word[s]: ‘very early in a pregnancy.’”

He was quoting Bill Clinton from 1993 when the Clintons had just become President. Hannity added, “That seems to be, politically, where the country is. Maybe I’m wrong. But we’ll see. That vote in Ohio is pretty, pretty sobering. It shows that the GOP is very afraid of the Ohio outcome.”

3. CALIFORNIA GOP BECOMES ABORTIONISTS – The California Republican party is considering changing its platform to no longer reflect opposition to abortion or same-sex marriage. More can be said about the latter part of that action, but not now, as we will keep focused on the abortion issue (see our article on altrainbow fascism on page for more on the same-sex marriage issue). They will be voting in the fall to determine if the proposed platform change will happen, with most believing it will pass.

It also shows the GOP is about personal power for the leaders in that corrupt organization, not for actually living up to the name of the party, to be defenders of and advocates of the American republic as opposed to the child-sacrifice nation of progmerica that they now seem more than willing to join, for the sake of winning elections that give them no real power to govern the land. The minority party is happy being the minority party so long as the leadership of that party continues to benefit financially from taking up space that a true opposition party might fill.

4. THE SECOND-PLACE GOP DEBATE – In the debate for second place in the GOP primary (a debate among Republican Presidential candidates that did not include the overwhelming frontrunner, Donald Trump), the candidates hedged their bets, at best, on opposing abortion. Ron DeSantis was only willing to say that he’ll stand for life even if he understands the political reality is different in different states.

Nikki Haley appealed to the heartstrings when she declared, “Can’t we all agree that we are not going to put a woman in jail or give her the death penalty if she gets an abortion?” There was no defiant opposition to abortion, nor was there a commitment to end legal abortions nationwide.

E. THE PROBLEM OF ENFORCEMENT

1. THROWING WOMEN IN JAIL – The main problem with supporting rightly outlawing abortion is reflected in Nikki Haley’s statement about abortion, that they don’t want to see women go to jail for murdering their unborn children. A few years ago, this writer was debating someone on abortion when they asked me if I would approve a woman being executed for murdering her unborn child, and if I didn’t, do I really consider it murder? At the time, it gave me pause, a pause that lasted for a couple of years before I came out on the other side, still convicted in my stance that abortion truly is, simply speaking, murder.

I have been inured to the evils of abortion, having grown up mostly in a post-Roe world, so viewing abortion as a murder that leads to imprisonment was something that was difficult for me to overcome, but I overcame my conditioning. However, the rest of America, even most people who are against abortion, haven’t, and that’s the stone-cold reality.

2. THE ENFORCEMENT PROBLEM – On January 22, 1973, our Supreme Court chose to once again make an action legal that fundamentally undermines the legitimacy of our republic, that we will respect the sovereignty and sacredness of the individual in a balance of power republic that prevents power from being consolidated at the top.

The Supreme Court invented a constitutional standard to justify the murdering of the unborn, for a penumbra of “privacy” that somehow allows the state to sub-humanize the most vulnerable, the most innocent among us, the unborn child. This writer understands, in part, why they did so.

Even in 1973, the technological capacity of the state to interfere with the private matters of its citizens was significantly greater than it was at the start of the 20^th century. How do you enforce a law prohibiting abortion without creating a police state aimed at pregnant women and girls? Even today, this is an ongoing issue for those of us who support a nearly-complete ban on abortion (save for the safety of the mother). How do you write a law that outlaws abortion without enabling some form of invasive police state?

Still, the problem of enforcement does not justify the continued murdering of unborn children. The Supreme Court chose to play God, literally, and go beyond its constitutional function, legislating an outcome for fear of the consequences of protecting the lives of the unborn. They did not make a decision based on the American constitution, but out of fear of it. In so doing, they created a poison pill that has now been delivered and has led to the degeneration of our society, once again, as it was in 1859, just before the 1860 election, which would set off the Civil War.

SUMMARY

America was formed by the assumption that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (all humans) are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

This is and was an ideal unique to the Christian worldview.

Yet, America began this experiment of a nation not built on biological ethnicity, not built on the divine right of Kings, by denying the very founding principle that gave the republic its right to rule. America allowed slavery to continue to remain legal even after creating two documents, the Declaration of Independence (our founding document) and the Bill of Rights (our core DNA). Both documents deny the right of humans to enslave other humans.

The spirit of the land was corrupted from the start by its denial of its ideal that justified its very existence. For that, the land eventually suffered, millions were displaced, hundreds of thousands were killed, and we still live with the legacy of slavery that has enabled a seditious Democratic Party to consolidate power using the boogeyman of the white devil that our past gives some a reason to believe.

Since Roe V Wade was justly struck down, abortion has become a political issue like never before, as now, voting for a particular party could decide whether abortion would be legal, restricted, or completely allowed.

The Republican Party has long been the only party openly supporting making the murdering of unborn children illegal. Now, it faces a hostile crowd that has been inured to the evil of abortion as surely as a dairy farmer gets inured to the smell of cow manure after working in those conditions for years. Now, the Republican party appears ready to seek to win elections over defending the underlying American standard that gives our republic its legitimacy, that all humans are created in God’s image, and thus entitled to the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The question for the Republican Party is this: Would you rather win and lose the republic or lose and keep fighting to restore and preserve the republic?

DNC Must Decide Whether to be Homophobic or Islamophobic in Michigan

Paul Collier September 18, 2023

After a Muslim majority town in Michigan voted to ban all pride flags being displayed on any public facility, Democrats are beside themselves in how to confront this “betrayal” of their alliance. Not only are Muslims fighting them over pride flags, they’re pushing back against the trans/non-binary cult.

It seems the “alliance” had a tenuous tether, and one that could be broken should the DNC-CCP insist on continuing to push for their version of the “moral” person on everyone else. They’ve gone so far beyond the will of the people that they are now not only losing Muslims, they’re also losing the black vote, they’re losing Democrats, as more and more people come face to face with the blood and bone consequences of their theory-based version of the perfect world produces when put to flesh.

No one wants to surrender their children to the altars these perverts are building throughout our lands, in many, if not most, of our schools. No one wants to surrender their parental authority to children groomed to be adults who groom children, that is, public school teachers “trained” to pounce on a child’s mind and assault it with terrifying thoughts like being born of devils, if their white, or white supremacism if they’re cis gendered and heterosexual.

No one wants to surrender their children to the cult of the rainbow that seeks to criminalize the very thought that God made us man and woman, we are born who we are, we are who God made us.

Only Woke Ideologues Selected to be Public School Teachers

Only Woke Ideologues Selected to be Public School Teachers

Paul Collier September 18, 2023

The National Opportunity Project (NOP) conducted a survey of 70 American public schools and discovered in that survey these schools are hiring new teachers not so much based on their qualifications to teach but their willingness to terrorize children with abominable lies that sprout out of the woketarian ideology (DEI- Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) the DNC-CCP has chosen to adopt as its vehicle of power, its justification for taking violent action against peaceful Americans.

From The Federalist: Documents obtained by NOP show public schools advertised ideological requirements in their job postings with coded language seeking “equity-literate educator[s]” who will work at “dismantling systemic racism” with a “commitment to social justice.” Denver Public Schools dictated that applicants should “have an anti-racist mindset and will work to dismantle systems of oppression and inequity in our community.”

These standards invite educators of a particular ideological affiliation to pursue jobs in public schools while deterring other candidates. “They position teachers as soldiers who share responsibility for upending societal barriers,” the report noted. “Their message to applicants is clear: Be prepared to join our crusade, or don’t apply.”

Kristen Williamson, communications director at the National Opportunity Project, told The Federalist schools are “possibly breaking the law” by ideologically filtering potential teachers.

The NOP survey concluded “Perspectives that diverge from or fail to mesh with the district’s views on equity” are “judged poorly.”

This means if you hold to the view that human beings should not be forced to accept homosexuality, transgenderism and non-binarism, then you can’t “teach” children in public schools. If you hold to the correct view that men are men and women are women, you can’t teach children in public schools. If you disagree with the idea of “criminalizing hate speech” (an unconstitutional belief that defies our 1^st Amendment rights), you can’t teach children in public schools. If you believe no person should be judged by the color of their skin, you can’t teach children in public schools.

Our educational institutions at all levels have been infected with an anti-American, anti-human, anti-God virus that calls evil good and good evil and will not tolerate being rightly exposed for the lies they tell our children every day.

So we end up with blue-haired non-binary minor-attracted adults terrorizing children with lies like “you are born with sin skins and can never hope to be forgiven, can never hope to steward your own happiness and prosperity.”

A sure sign of a fallen nation in rebellion against God is seen in the selection of these adult-children to teach our children. That sign can be seen in Isaiah 3:4: And I will make boys their princes, and infants shall rule over them.

Our suicide rates continue to climb among youth as does our rate of teachers sexually abusing children, and this, my friends, is by design, it’s a feature, not a bug. The ideology of the DNC-CCP seeks to sexualize children as early and as often as possible, to fill their minds with emotional, short-term ecstasy-seeking drives to make them more controllable by the elites who funded the violent terrorist organizations (like GLADD and the Human Rights Campaign) that have infected our institutions with this Ba’al worship.

If you can, and God help you and your children if you can’t, get your children out of these sex abuse centers where adults are groomed by colleges to groom children, those children they let live, that is.

More from the Federalist that illustrates the depravity of our public schools under the DEI virus:
According to a Fairfax County Public Schools screening rubric, an “outstanding candidate” is someone who “provides concrete examples of strategies of their commitment to serve to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion,” and understands “their role in breaking down barriers.”

One prompt from City Schools of Decatur in Georgia asks how applicants would shut down parents who object to their racially divisive curricula:

An upset parent emails you regarding a classroom discussion with your students about Critical Race Theory. They accuse you (the teacher) of anti-Americanism, changing ‘real history,’ and of making White children feel marginalized and attacked. Please discuss your course of action and draft a response to this parent.

The hiring team then must ensure “that there is at least one person of color and one woman or gender-fluid person” involved in scoring the response. NOP uncovered several other identity quotes for hiring panels and committees like this one.

“The effect of these policies is that teachers in many of the country’s K-12 schools are selected partly based on subjective, quasi-political, and sometimes illegal criteria that have nothing to do with reading, writing, and math,” Williamson said, noting that these teachers are “handpicked based at least in part on their acceptance and evangelism of one side’s political and social orthodoxy.”

Americans Lose Trust in ALL Major Institutions

Americans Lose Trust in ALL Major Institutions

Paul Collier September 18, 2023

American confidence in major institutions has hit an all-time low, according to Gallop, which has been tracking that confidence level since 1979 at a time when America had just lost the Vietnam War, had seen an American President resign, and were in the midst of Jimmy Carter’s self-inflicted economic malaise. At that time, confidence in these same institutions hovered around 50 percent, now they have plummeted to 26 percent.

The institutions on this list include Congress, the presidency, the FBI, the judiciary, the media, higher education, corporations, churches, scientists, tech companies, labor unions, and healthcare. Since Gallop started taking the polls, the numbers have not been that high, but now they have reached critically low levels.

Gerard Baker has written a book about this phenomenon called “American Breakdown: How Americans Lost Trust in their leaders and Institutions and How to rebuild Confidence.” In that book, he points to what this writer believes is the key reason for the collapse in confidence, the institutions no longer reflect American values.

Within the last 5-10 years, institutional departure from American institutions has accelerated, largely, this writer assets, due to the firing of Americans using “Woke” cancel culture to condemns those that dare, in any way shape or form, deny woke assumptions (like anyone can be any “gender” they want). They have replaced those cancelled Americans with spiritual foreigners, that is, people who no longer believe in, understand, or uphold the values that made our republic possible in the first place.

They have used the sins of America to justify the destruction of America, promising to do what only American values can do, level the playing field for everyone (or get far closer to that reality than anything these spiritual foreigners can ever accomplish with their anti-American ideologies). We overcame our racist past because of the ideals that our nation was founded on. We could not continue to be a nation built on those ideals and yet allow slavery, and racism in general, to continue as “official” policy.

America was founded on the underlying presupposition that there is a higher authority that commands us to recognize all humans as being potentially equal with everyone else, that authority is the God of scriptures, of the Holy Bible of the one true faith, Christianity, whose God alone executes vengeance, whose God alone grants humans the capacity to steward their own beliefs, their own preferences, come what may.

From that presupposition we get the “mind your own business” principles of our Declaration of Independence (all men are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these rights are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as defined by the individual).

But our institutions are led by a people who openly reject that principle, who advocate for forced acceptance of certain classes of individuals and the criminalization of the Word of God, especially where it challenges the foreigner-in-spirit’s notion on sexuality, which condemns heterosexuality, celebrates homosexuality, hates the family, mothers, fathers, men, and women, and revels in “non-binary” lies that defy human biological reality.

Americans are fine with anyone holding their beliefs, but we’re not fine with having them forced on us by international corporatists and foreigners occupying our government offices, and we’re certainly not fine with government schools teaching such anti-American, anti-human, anti-God hate to our children.

So long as these institutions continue to reject the American standard in favor of foreign ones, only the foreigners in spirit that corrupt and condemn our lands will find any reason to find trust in them, though even they are likely to lose trust in them as well as they come to experience the violent blood and bone reality of the actions borne from such corrupting ideals that hate God and love Satan, who lied to man from the beginning, telling them they can “know” (as in define for themselves) good and evil.

Australia’s Big W Pulls Book Teaching 8-Year Olds How to “Scissor”

Paul Collier September 17, 2023

After parental backlash and alleged threats to its workers, the Australian retail chain Big W, has announced plans to pull the children’s version of the book “Welcome to Sex” called “Welcome to Sex: Your no-silly-questions guide to sexuality, pleasure, and figuring it out.” In the children’s book, it covers explicit sexual details and encourages children to explore their sexuality, including how to “scissor” if they’re engaging in lesbian sex.

Perhaps the most disturbing part of this story is the fact that, while most parents wanted these books gone, some parents supported the books, referring to people as not wanting their children to read these books as being phobic, bigoted, narrow-minded, and uptight. The company didn’t remove the books out of a sense of moral correctness, but out of fear, stating, “We know there has been a wide range of views about the book, however it’s disappointing that there have been multiple incidents of abuse directed at our store team members in the past 24 hours. To keep our team and customers safe, the book will be available to customers online only from later today.”

California to Take Kids from Parents Who Don’t “Affirm” Transgenderism

California to Take Kids from Parents Who Don’t “Affirm” Transgenderism

Paul Collier September 14, 2023

The California legislature passed a bill Governor Gavin Newsome (D-CA) is expected to sign that will give the state the power to take children from parents who refuse to allow their child to declare their own sex, and thus go down the path of chemical and surgical castration. AB-957 will essentially make it illegal for you to refuse to allow your child to be groomed by public schools and mutilated by the state as a consequence.

The bill highlights the depravity of the Democratic Party, the party that celebrates murdering unborn children up to and including just after birth. The DNC-CCP is leaning hard into its Ba’al worship with the passage of this bill and now every parent is vulnerable to losing their child to the state, who is busy pressuring children to “choose” their gender in open defiance of the Word of God.

It is a rebellious state not just against the American Constitution, denying parents their rights to raise their children according to their own values, not those of the state, but also against God,

Republican State Senator Scott Wilk recommended that parents “flee” the state as a result of this ungodly, unconstitutional law being passed (it is a foregone conclusion the head pervert of the state will sign the abominable bill).

He said, “In the past when we’ve had these discussions and I’ve seen parental rights atrophy, I’ve encouraged people to keep fighting. I’ve changed my mind on that. If you love your children, you need to flee California. You need to flee.”

He himself pledged to leave the state as soon as his term is completed.

There will be legal challenges to this vulgar denial of parents’ rights and this legalization of child grooming and child mutilation by the state, but meanwhile parents will see their children snatched from them, taken up into the state institution that has made it clear it views children as sacrifices to the idolatry of the state.

The moment this bill is signed, California is a murderous threat to children and parents, whose actions will lead to the deaths of children and potentially to any parent that resists the state’s efforts to steal their child from them so they can become LGBTQ horror experiments.

The bill is so egregious it demands consequences, prison time for all who participated in crafting and passing this bill, and all who enforce it should Americans ever regain control of the pedo state California is now officially declaring itself to be.

California Is Making Strange Bedfellows as Resistance to Woketarian Schooling Grows

California Is Making Strange Bedfellows as Resistance to Woketarian Schooling Grows

Paul Collier September 12, 2023

An article in the Economist covers a spate of victories in California school boards from a coalition of people across all political, sexual, and racial lines, against the woke ideologies that have been terrorizing our children in public schools. The coalition includes members of “the gay community,” Muslims, black parents, white parents, Democrats, and, of course, Republicans.

The galvanizing unity comes from resistance to the indoctrination of children into the dark arts of non-binary/ transgenderism, where schools want to “transition” children secretly behind parents’ backs. It seems parents from all shapes and forms and sizes and beliefs, etc., all vehemently resist such a gross assault on parents’ rights from fascist schools.

From the Economist:

School boards began taking issues into their own hands after a bill proposed by Bill Essayli, a Republican state legislator, that would have ordered schools to inform parents in such cases, did not even achieve a hearing in Sacramento in April. On July 20th, Chino Valley, a small school district 35 miles east of Los Angeles, became the first in California to pass a motion mandating that parents must be notified in such cases. On August 10th Murrieta Valley school board passed a similar motion, followed by the Anderson Unified school board. Others may follow.

Gavin Newsome is fighting back the way DNC-CCP revolutionaries do, he’s threatening to withhold state funding from any school that refuses to transition kids in secret without parental consent. His side argues that a child has a right to privacy, even from their parent, which they most assuredly do not.
