UK - Prince William said that he would “fully support” his child if one of them came out as gay, bisexual, or transgender. The second in line to the British throne made the comments during a visit on Wednesday to a charity that supports homeless LGBT young people. When he was asked what he would think if Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, four, or Prince Louis, one, came out as gay or transgender he responded: “…obviously absolutely fine by me”.

Prince William is not the only royal to champion sexual diversity, with his brother, Prince Harry, having praised transgender children’s charity Mermaids — whose work he had once described as “amazing” — recently inviting the trans activist group to join the Royal Foundation’s work on mental illness.

CHINA - China has long been credibly accused of allowing a black market in organ sales, the kidneys, livers, etc, coming from murdered political prisoners such as the Falun Gong. Several years ago, China promised it would eliminate this dark harvest, but according to the China Tribunal — an independent investigative tribunal into forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience — the tyranny continues to permit the murder and strip-mining of political prisoners to continue without interruption.

Response from the International Community? This is unspeakably evil. But the vaunted international community doesn’t have the fortitude to pressure China into actually stopping this horror, nor do countries and large companies want to lose the money that would result from taking such action. These faults and weaknesses being a given, we certainly shouldn’t expect China to do the moral thing any time soon.

ISRAEL - The iconic golden dome of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosque, located on the Temple Mount or Haram el-Sharif, is the third holiest site in Islam and is recognized throughout the world as a symbol of the city of Jerusalem. Yet, this ancient site that dates back to the year 705 CE is being targeted for destruction by increasingly influential extremist groups that seek to erase Jerusalem’s Muslim heritage in pursuit of colonial ambitions and the fulfillment of end-times prophecy. This movement has gained powerful allies, not just in Israel’s government, but among many evangelical Christians in the United States, including top figures in the Trump administration who also feel that the destruction of Al-Aqsa and the reconstruction of a Jewish Temple are prerequisites for the fulfillment of prophecy… and, in doing so, are pushing the world towards a dangerous war.

USA - James O’Keefe and Project Veritas released alarming new undercover video, leaked documents, and testimony from a Google insider revealing the tech giant’s plans to meddle in US politics and “prevent a Trump situation in 2020.” One aspect of the report features undercover footage of longtime Google employee and Head of Responsible Innovation, Jen Gennai, saying Google has been working diligently to “prevent” the results of the 2016 election from repeating in 2020, meaning they are actively engaging in election meddling and working to elect someone from the Democratic Party.

USA - Thanks to the bombshell investigations of Project Veritas, we now have further confirmation that Google is a massive criminal enterprise engaged in election meddling, knowledge suppression and political coups. Just hours after this video went public, not only did Google censor the video on YouTube, now Google’s executives have gone into hiding to try to run from the truth about their criminal fraud. In the bombshell video a Google executive named Jen Gennai openly admits that Google engages in massive election fraud and abuses its power to brainwash people into promoting Democrats while rejecting Republicans. This is an open admission of a massive, coordinated criminal conspiracy being carried out by Google. It also proves that Google stole the 2018 mid-term elections and swept Democrats into a majority in the House. It was all carried out via fraud, censorship and criminal activities. It’s time to arrest and prosecute all Google executives…

USA - In 2018, Facebook issued a new policy banning users from posting advertisements for cryptocurrencies including one of the most popular, bitcoin. Under the heading of “Prohibited Financial Products and Services,” the policy noted: Ads must not promote financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices, such as binary options, initial coin offerings, or cryptocurrency.

MIDDLE EAST - The US Navy confirmed early Monday that more military ships have arrived in the US 5th Fleet area of responsibility, which includes the Persian Gulf and Middle East waters. The additional deployment, which comes in the wake of last week's US drone shoot down by Iran, saw Washington coming very close to launching major strikes in response. Both the Saudis and the Israelis have pushed for a more muscular US response to "Iranian aggression" in the region, thus both MbS and Netanyahu must have been deeply disappointed that last Thursday night's readied American military response never materialized. “China gets 91% of its Oil from the Strait, Japan 62%, & many other countries likewise. So why are we protecting the shipping lanes for other countries (many years) for zero compensation. All of these countries should be protecting their own ships on what has always been...” Donald J Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 24, 2019

USA - In Dark Agenda, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz exposes not only the progressive war against Christianity, but also a war against America and its founding principles, which are Christian in their origin. Dark Agenda is about an embattled religion, but most of all, it is about our imperiled nation. Tackling a broad range of issues from prayer in the schools to the globalist mindset, Horowitz traces the anti-Christian movement to its roots in communism. When the communist empire fell, progressives did not want to give up their utopian anti-God illusions, so instead they merely changed the name of their dream. Instead of “communism,” progressives have re-branded their movement as “social justice.” Dark Agenda shows how the progressives are prepared to use any means necessary to stifle their opponents who support the concepts of religious liberty that America was founded on, and how the battle to destroy Christianity is really the battle to destroy America.

USA - As the Communist party USA kicked off its 100th anniversary celebration, Jarvis Tyner called for delegates and guests at the national convention in Chicago to “set the record straight” about one of American politics biggest historical bogeymen. The remarks, met with applause, came on the first day of CPUSA’s 31st national convention – and at a moment in American politics in which democratic socialism and progressive ideas are increasingly finding a home in the mainstream of the Democratic party. “Our job as communists is to unite people… Together, we will win,” Lozano said, concluding his speech. “Our victory is inevitable. Viva the Communist party USA!”

EUROPE - Memo to the presidents of the European Commission, Council and Parliament. Focusing on the most important economic questions at EU level, these Bruegel memos are intended to be a strategic to-do list, outlining the state of affairs that will greet the new Commission.

First, the incoming presidents must define Europe’s place in an increasingly bipolar world driven by a geostrategic rivalry between the United States and China.

Second, global warming is a reality and temperatures appear to be rising faster than forecast.

Third, the three presidents need to manage the economy and EU cohesion.

The main worry is a deep recession or even a new crisis.

EUROPE - This Policy Contribution delves into the position of the EU in the current global order. China and the United States are increasingly trying to gain geopolitical advantage using their economic might. The authors examine the specific problems that China and the US pose for European economic sovereignty, and consider how the EU and its member states can better protect European economic sovereignty. Prominent scholars including Jean Pisani-Ferry, Jeremy Shapiro and Guntram Wolff have put together a timely set of recommendations for the next European Commission, urging Brussels to redefine Europe’s “economic sovereignty” in the face of harsh new global realities.

USA - A Google insider who spoke anonymously to Project Veritas claims the company is devoted to preventing anything like the 2016 election of Donald Trump from happening again. The insider who spoke to Project Veritas also drew attention to the covert suppression of non-progressive voices on YouTube, a Google-owned platform, said that stopping President Donald Trump and other politicians like Trump has become a priority for the tech giant. The insider claimed that the company did a “complete 180 in what they thought was important,” abandoning earlier ideals of self-expression and “giving everyone a voice” in favor of crackdowns on “hate.”

VATICAN - To save the Church, Catholics must detach themselves from the clerical hierarchy - and take the faith back into their own hands. The Ryan Commission published its 2,600-page report in 2009. Despite government inspections and supervision, Catholic clergy had, across decades, violently tormented thousands of children. The report found that children held in orphanages and reformatory schools were treated no better than slaves… Clericalism, with its cult of secrecy, its theological misogyny, its sexual repressiveness, and its hierarchical power based on threats of a doom-laden afterlife, is at the root of Roman Catholic dysfunction. The clerical system’s obsession with status thwarts even the merits of otherwise good priests and distorts the Gospels’ message of selfless love, which the Church was established to proclaim.

USA - On summer's opening day, up to 20 inches of snow buried the high terrain of the Colorado Rockies, boosting the state's snowpack to extraordinary levels for the time of year. The solstice flakes marked a continuation of a snowy stretch that began in January and February and lingered through spring. Even before the solstice snow, The Denver Post wrote, the state's snowpack was "in virtually every numerical sense...off the charts." While the snow may have some in the Colorado high country craving warmer temperatures, the onslaught of precipitation since January has ended a costly drought in the state, and the elevated snowpack and runoff are expected to lower Colorado's wildfire risk through the summer.

USA - The United States is again ranked as one of the worst countries in the world for human trafficking. According to a recently released report by the State Department, the top three nations of origin for victims of human trafficking in 2018 were the United States, Mexico and the Philippines. At the heart of the human trafficking trade in America is simple economics: Supply and demand. Geoff Rogers, co-founder of the United States Institute Against Human Trafficking said, "The United States is the number one consumer of sex worldwide. So we are driving the demand as a society. These are American kids, American born, 50% to 60% of them coming out of the foster care industry." In cities across the nation, and along the highways that connect them, police and advocates continue their fight to eradicate human trafficking and heal those who survived.
