Yuval Noah Harari: “So if you want to distract the public from issues like government corruption, or deteriorating health care system or deteriorating education system, the best thing is to find an external enemy that threatens the survival of the nation … and this is why very often, even in a situation when there is no real threat, leaders are manufacturing artificial threats.”
Puberty Blockers, Cross-Sex Hormones, and Youth Suicide
Adolescents who are confused about their gender suffer from an abnormally high suicide rate. Though research demonstrates that gender confusion generally resolves itself without medical intervention, some educators and medical professionals encourage teens, and even pre-teens, to take puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones so that their secondary sex characteristics, such as body and facial hair, breast tissue, muscular build, and fat composition, align more closely with the gender with which they identify.
In the past several years, the suicide rate among those ages 12 to 23 has become significantly higher in states that have a provision that allows minors to receive routine health care without parental consent than in states without such a provision. Before 2010, these two groups of states did not differ in their youth suicide rates. Starting in 2010, when puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones became widely available, elevated suicide rates in states where minors can more easily access those medical interventions became observable.

Dr. McCullough: ‘No Assurances’ That COVID Vaccines for Kids Under Age 5 Are Safe Over Long Term
“…we know even if they’re used in kids, there won’t be any differences in rates of COVID-19 serious outcomes. There’s no reductions in hospitalizations and deaths in the randomized trials, and then we have no assurances that these are safe over the long term.”
Christian Reformed Church Brings LGBT Stance Into Faith Statement
The Christian Reformed Church, a small evangelical denomination of US and Canadian churches, voted Wednesday at its annual synod to codify its opposition to homosexual sex by elevating it to the status of confession, or declaration of faith.
The 123-53 vote at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, caps a process begun in 2016 when a previous synod voted to form a study committee to bring a report on the “biblical theology” of sexuality.
The vote, after two long days of debate, approves a list of what the denomination calls sexual immorality it won’t tolerate, including “adultery, premarital sex, extra-marital sex, polyamory, pornography, and homosexual sex.” Source: Christianity Today

Op-Ed: Time to help the Iranian people overthrow the regime’
The Iranian people don’t want the United States to overthrow their regime. They want the United States and the world to stand with them as they overthrow the regime, said Caroline Glick in this week’s episode of “Mideast News Hour.”
The people of Iran have been in a near continuous revolt against the regime since 2017. Yet, the United States—and particularly the Democratic Party—has ignored them. For the past three weeks, people from all walks of life in Iran have once again taken to the streets to call for the overthrow of the regime. This week, Glick spoke with Cameron Khansarinia, director of the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI) in Washington, D.C., to discuss the latest round of national protests and the regime’s response.

Disney/Pixar’s ‘Lightyear,’ with same-sex couple, will not play in 14 countries
Walt Disney Co has been unable to obtain permission to show its new Pixar movie “Lightyear” in 14 Middle Eastern and Asian countries, a source said on Monday, and the animated film appeared unlikely to open in China, the world’s largest movie market.
A “Lightyear” producer told Reuters that authorities in China had asked for cuts to the movie, which Disney declined to make, and she assumed the movie would not open there either. The animated film depicts a same-sex couple who share a brief kiss, which prompted the United Arab Emirates to ban the film. Source: Reuters

Local Christians across North Idaho have taken to ‘praying for rain’ heading into the weekend in response to a planned LGBT event reportedly hosting satanists, drag queen performers and HIV education booths at the “family-friendly” event.
After numerous vendors dropped out of the event, local Christian groups tell the Idaho Tribune “we will be praying for rain” — heading into this weekend.
The “Pride in the Park” event drew national outrage after it was uncovered the all-ages event would host performances from drag queens, as well as allowing the Satanic Temple to attend in an official capacity. Source: Idaho Tribune
Taxpayers To Foot Bill for Terrorist’s Sex Change
A transgender inmate who goes by the name Cristina Iglesias has not spent a day outside of federal prison as an adult. Iglesias was locked up in 1994 for sending death threats to federal judges and then pleaded guilty in 2005 to mailing fake anthrax to U.S. allies in the earliest days of the War on Terror. Now, thanks to a judge’s ruling, Iglesias is set to become the first transgender inmate to undergo sex-reassignment surgery—on the taxpayer dime.
Iglesias in 2020 became the poster child of the American Civil Liberties Union‘s quest to ensure even the most hardened criminals enjoy transgender rights, and the civil rights group that once focused its energies on free speech sued the government, arguing that denying the costly surgery is a violation of Iglesias’s constitutional rights. U.S. District Judge Nancy J. Rosenstengel agreed, writing in an opinion issued last month that “Iglesias suffers daily and is at risk of self-mutilation and suicide.”
Iglesias, 47, is set for release on Christmas Day, but wants the surgery before that time—and Rosentengel is ordering the Bureau of Prisons to find a surgeon to carry out the sex change. Cost estimates for the surgery itself vary widely. Some hospital estimates reach six figures, while the Philadelphia Center for Transgender Surgery pegs the figure at about $25,000. Pricey quality-of-life care is required for years after the surgery, running about $40,000 annually in the first five years, according to a 2015 study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The cost falls to $10,000 per year after a decade. The Bureau of Prisons declined to say whether taxpayers will provide that support. Source: Washington Free Beacon
Is the Shroud of Turin the Authentic Burial Cloth of Christ? New Scientific Evidence Sheds Light on Centuries-Old Mystery
A new scientific procedure dates fabric from the Shroud to roughly 2,000 years ago. That Italian study is just the latest in a long series of scientific testing, including studies of pollen plucked from the Shroud with a scientific tape dispenser.
“The pollen samples that were gathered they, a lot of them are from plants that are native to not just the Middle East, but specifically the area around Judea, Palestine, and Syria and stay where it was in that time period,” said Hyland.
“There’s also pollen from the area around Constantinople. There’s a lot of pollen from Europe,” he said. Source: CBN News

Pfizer’s “FDA Approved” COVID Shot Will Never Be Available
Despite the fact the FDA had “fully approved” Pfizer Inc-BioNTech COVID-19 two-dose injection, marketed as Comirnaty, the drug company has now updated the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website admitting that it will never be distributed for use. As Liberty Counsel has stated from the beginning, there is no FDA-approved COVID shot available. All COVID shots are under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), which means people have the right to refuse them.
The Pfizer update on the CDC website states: “Pfizer received initial FDA BLA license on 8/23/2021 for its COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals 16 and older (COMIRNATY). At that time, the FDA published a BLA package insert that included the approved new COVID-19 vaccine tradename COMIRNATY and listed 2 new NDCs (0069-1000-03, 0069-1000-02) and images of labels with the new tradename. These NDCs will not be manufactured. Only NDCs for the subsequently BLA approved tris-sucrose formulation will be produced.”
Therefore, Pfizer has exclusively been supplying its version of the experimental shot under authorization of emergency use (EUA) and not the FDA “approved” shot. Source: Liberty Counsel
Op-Ed: Why America Doesn’t Trust the CDC
People don’t trust the CDC. Here’s one example illustrating why. Two weeks ago, with no outcomes data on COVID-19 booster shots for 5-to-11-year-olds, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) vigorously recommended the booster for all 24 million American children in that age group. The CDC cited a small Pfizer study of 140 children that showed boosters elevated their antibody levels—an outcome known to be transitory.
When that study concluded, a Pfizer spokesperson said it did not determine the efficacy of the booster in the 5-to-11-year-olds. But that didn’t matter to the CDC. Seemingly hoping for a different answer, the agency put the matter before its own kangaroo court of curated experts, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Source: NewsWeek
Feminist Faces up to 3 Years in Prison for Opposing Idea that Trans ‘Males Can Be Lesbians’
A Norwegian feminist is being investigated for reportedly criticizing a trans activist on Twitter and is now facing three years in prison on hate crime charges.
Ellingsen, who is a representative of the global feminist organization Women’s Declaration International (WDI), tweeted, “Why (does) FRI teach young people that males can be lesbians? Isn’t that conversion therapy?”
Another tweet, which is reportedly being categorized as hate speech reads, “Jentoft, who is male and an advisor in FRI, presents himself as a lesbian – that’s how bonkers the organization which supposedly works to protect young lesbians’ interests is. How does it help young lesbians when males claim to be lesbian, too?” Source: CBN News
