A Navy in Decline

USA - In 1890, Alfred Thayer Mahan, a renowned naval strategist, published his groundbreaking work, The Influence of Sea Power Upon History. This seminal book documented the preeminent role sea power has on world power and influence, showing that maritime powers have consistently dominated throughout modern history. Mahan’s work was hailed around the world as proof of the importance of sea power to national power. Teddy Roosevelt, the presidents during the two World Wars, and Ronald Reagan during the Cold War era recognized the wisdom of Mahan’s doctrine and built the US Navy to preeminence and power. Maritime power enabled the United States to project power and influence worldwide, strongly supported our allies, and promoted American values.

The Government Is Not Your Daddy

USA - It’s no secret that many Democrat voters have “daddy” issues. They grew up in homes without strong, loving fathers and desperately seek from government what they never found in their youths: a protective authority figure and lifelong role model. When Democrats with “daddy” issues find their way into power, they force their own psychological deficiencies upon the broader populace. Why? Because they try to play “father” to their constituents but have no idea how a good father is supposed to behave. They scream and shout because they confuse insults and tantrums with masculinity. They reimagine the ideal male leader as someone who would enjoy wearing make-up and behaving like a teenage girl. They demand that male “allies” relinquish any say over the healthy delivery of their unborn children.

The WPATH Files (World Professional Association for Transgender Health)

USA - Advocates of gender-affirming care say it’s evidence-based. But now, newly released internal files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) prove that the practice of transgender medicine is neither scientific nor medical. American Medical Association, The Endocrine Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and thousands of doctors worldwide rely on WPATH. It is considered the leading global authority on “gender medicine.” And yet WPATH’s internal files, which include written discussions and a video, reveal that its members know they are creating victims and not getting “informed consent.”

Librarians Admit They Hid LGBT Promotions from Parents

USA - It’s in a report from The Daily Signal that the details are documented. It reports that at least one school library in a school district in South Carolina actually “restricted access” to its online card catalog to hide “critical race theory books” from parents. The group Moms for Liberty obtained internal documents where officials admitted just that. The report said the school district alleged it insisted all schools in the district unlock their catalogs to start the school year, but Moms for Liberty officials say at least one remained blocked into February. “Instead of listing these books as available in the library, they are making a conscious decision to include them in curriculum read aloud in class so parents don’t know,” charged Carly Carter, of the Anderson County Moms for Liberty chapter.

Peter Hitchens: Now it's the Turn of the Elderly and the ill

UK - We've dehumanised the unborn. Now it's the turn of the elderly and the ill. Supporters of assisted dying need to grasp that they will almost certainly get more than they say that they want. You will have to judge whether they really are as moderate as they claim, or whether they reckon – with good reason – that legalising assisted death will allow them to expand their scheme in ways that would horrify many now. The campaign to legalise abortion on demand was never, in my view, frank about its true aims. Nor is the similar campaign for assisted dying.

Welcome to 2024: The Last Year of America?

USA - The next eight months of your life should be devoted to preparing for a black swan event. I’ve had a nagging fear for more than a few months, now, that most Americans have their election math totally wrong. You know these people. You love these people. We’re talking about your friends and family. The problem is not that they’re stupid or disengaged or indifferent. The problem is: they’re living in the old America.

Electric Vehicle ‘Euphoria is Dead’

USA - “Automakers from Ford Motor and General Motors to Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin are scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans,” reports CNBC. The headline says it all: “EV euphoria is dead. Automakers are scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans.” There’s a shock. Why-oh-why would people not want to purchase a super-expensive vehicle that can take more than an hour to charge — and that’s if you can find a charging station?

A little bit of Pfizer in your cheese?

USA - You may be surprised to learn that the cheese you are eating, if it’s not USDA organic, most likely contains synthetic rennet bioengineered by Pfizer. Often referred to as microbial rennet, the source of the rennet is not required to be listed on food labels, so most Americans have no idea that the food they are eating contains non-natural ingredients. Global Research‘s Dr Ashley Armstrong, who believes that natural rennet is preferable to synthetic rennet, explained that cheese making involves just four ingredients — milk, salt, starter culture, and (traditionally) animal rennet. Rennet is used to curdle the cheese and separate the curds from the whey.

Kellogg’s: Company Is ‘Knowingly Harming Our Children’

USA - Kellogg’s is facing even more backlash amidst a mass boycott of their products after one of the company’s shareholders publicly demanded accountability for the “harmful additives” in their products. Jason Karp, founder of health food company HumanCo and investor in Kellogg’s, has teamed up with celebrity attorney Alex Spiro to get the cereal manufacturer to get rid of “harmful artificial dyes, such as Red 40, Yellow 6, and Blue 1, as well as the preservative BHT.” “When a company is knowingly harming our children to make a little extra money, we have to stand up and do what is right,” Karp wrote in a statement on X alongside an activist letter he filed with Spiro against Kellogg’s. The Thursday letter is demanding the company to “stop their unethical behavior of selling inferior, more harmful versions of their products to American children.”

Blow to Veganism: 'The Brain Needs Meat'

USA - Meat is essential for warding off depression and anxiety, a top nutrition expert has revealed, sending a blow to veganism. Dr Georgia Ede, a Harvard-trained nutritional and metabolic psychiatrist and author of Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, studies the relationship between what we eat and our mental and physical health. And despite the health halo that vegan diets have been given over the last few years, she claims that giving up meat could be detrimental for mental health. 'The brain needs meat,' she told KIRO News Radio. 'We’re used to hearing that meat is dangerous for our total health, including our brain health, and plants are really the best way to nourish and protect our brains. But the truth of the matter is that it’s actually — that’s upside down and backward.'

7.6% of Americans Identify as LGBTQ

USA - According to a new Gallup report, the percentage of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer adults in the US has soared from 4.4% to an all-time high of 7.6% in 2023. Broken down by gender, the survey of 12,000 people 18 and older across the country found that women were nearly twice as likely as men to identify as LGBTQ. This is the first year Gallup has laid out its annual LGBTQ identification report in a way that breaks down each generation by gender. Looking at all generations, 8.5% of women and 4.7% of men identified as LGBTQ, the survey found.

 
US issues veiled threat to Hungary

HUNGARY - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is isolating his country from the Western “community of democracies,” US Ambassador David Pressman claimed on Thursday in wide-reaching rebuke. Ties between the two nations should not depend on “temporary” leaders, the diplomat argued, as he delivered a list of grievances against Budapest. “While the Orban government may want to wait out the United States government, the United States will certainly not wait out the Orban administration. While Hungry waits, we will act,” Pressman warned. The ambassador was referring to Orban’s expressed hope that Donald Trump will defeat President Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election.

EU state blasts Biden’s ‘dictatorship’ remarks

HUNGARY - Hungary will not tolerate Washington’s “lies” about the country’s prime minister, FM Peter Szijjarto has said. Budapest has protested US President Joe Biden’s remarks that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is seeking to establish a “dictatorship.” Hungary will not tolerate these “lies,” Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told journalists on Tuesday. On Tuesday, Szijjarto told reporters that Orban had never said anything close to these words. He also revealed that Budapest summoned Washington’s ambassador over the matter.

Israel is a 'white, settler colonialist nation'

UK - Foreign Office staff told to not call Hamas 'terrorists' in Whitehall training session as academics brand term 'unhelpful' and suggest Israel is a 'white, settler colonialist nation'. MPs have accused senior civil servants of allowing ‘ignorant and dangerous’ views into the department. The seminar, held in Whitehall, said calling Hamas terrorists was ‘unhelpful’ and suggested Israel is a ‘white, settler colonialist nation’. The training was run by academics from King’s College London who also said there was ‘no future without Hamas’, which carried out the October 7 terror attacks in Israel. About 100 officials, including specialists in the Middle East, attended the 75-minute session, which was first reported by the Jewish Chronicle. Speakers said applying the ‘terrorist label’ to Hamas was an obstacle to peace.

Russia, China and Iran launch joint naval exercise

MIDDLE EAST - Russian, Chinese, and Iranian navy ships are holding a joint exercise in the Arabian Sea this week, staging from the Port of Chah Bahar in the Gulf of Oman. The wargames – Maritime Security Belt – are scheduled to run from March 12-15 and involve vessels and aircraft from the three countries. Envoys from the militaries of Azerbaijan, India, Kazakhstan, Oman, Pakistan, and South Africa are in attendance as observers. “The practical part of the exercise will take place in the waters of the Arabian Sea, specifically the Gulf of Oman,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Monday. “The main purpose of the maneuvers is to ensure the safety of maritime economic activities.” Two Pacific Fleet ships, the Slava-class guided missile cruiser Varyag and the Udaloy-class frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov, make up the Russian contingent in the exercises.

 
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
