Part I

In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, western governments are moving fast to legitimize expanded powers of mass surveillance and controls on the internet, all in the name of fighting terrorism.

US and European politicians have called to protect NSA-style snooping, and to advance the capacity to intrude on internet privacy by outlawing encryption. One idea is to establish a telecoms partnership that would unilaterally delete content deemed to “fuel hatred and violence” in situations considered “appropriate.” Heated discussions are going on at government and parliamentary level to explore cracking down on lawyer-client confidentiality.

What any of this would have done to prevent the Charlie Hebdo attacks remains a mystery, especially given that we already know the terrorists were on the radar of French intelligence for up to a decade.

There is little new in this story. The 9/11 atrocity was the first of many terrorist attacks, each succeeded by the dramatic extension of draconian state powers at the expense of civil liberties, backed up with the projection of military force in regions identified as hotspots harbouring terrorists. Yet there is little indication that this tried and tested formula has done anything to reduce the danger. If anything, we appear to be locked into a deepening cycle of violence with no clear end in sight.

As our governments push to increase their powers, INSURGE INTELLIGENCE can now reveal the vast extent to which the US intelligence community is implicated in nurturing the web platforms we know today, for the precise purpose of utilizing the technology as a mechanism to fight global ‘information war’ — a war to legitimize the power of the few over the rest of us. The lynchpin of this story is the corporation that in many ways defines the 21st century with its unobtrusive omnipresence: Google.

Google styles itself as a friendly, funky, user-friendly tech firm that rose to prominence through a combination of skill, luck, and genuine innovation. This is true. But it is a mere fragment of the story. In reality, Google is a smokescreen behind which lurks the US military-industrial complex.

The inside story of Google’s rise, revealed here for the first time, opens a can of worms that goes far beyond Google, unexpectedly shining a light on the existence of a parasitical network driving the evolution of the US national security apparatus, and profiting obscenely from its operation.

The shadow network

For the last two decades, US foreign and intelligence strategies have resulted in a global ‘war on terror’ consisting of prolonged military invasions in the Muslim world and comprehensive surveillance of civilian populations. These strategies have been incubated, if not dictated, by a secret network inside and beyond the Pentagon.

Established under the Clinton administration, consolidated under Bush, and firmly entrenched under Obama, this bipartisan network of mostly neoconservative ideologues sealed its dominion inside the US Department of Defense (DoD) by the dawn of 2015, through the operation of an obscure corporate entity outside the Pentagon, but run by the Pentagon.

In 1999, the CIA created its own venture capital investment firm, In-Q-Tel, to fund promising start-ups that might create technologies useful for intelligence agencies. But the inspiration for In-Q-Tel came earlier, when the Pentagon set up its own private sector outfit.

Known as the ‘Highlands Forum,’ this private network has operated as a bridge between the Pentagon and powerful American elites outside the military since the mid-1990s. Despite changes in civilian administrations, the network around the Highlands Forum has become increasingly successful in dominating US defense policy.

Giant defense contractors like Booz Allen Hamilton and Science Applications International Corporation are sometimes referred to as the ‘shadow intelligence community’ due to the revolving doors between them and government, and their capacity to simultaneously influence and profit from defense policy. But while these contractors compete for power and money, they also collaborate where it counts. The Highlands Forum has for 20 years provided an off the record space for some of the most prominent members of the shadow intelligence community to convene with senior US government officials, alongside other leaders in relevant industries.

I first stumbled upon the existence of this network in November 2014, when I reported for VICE’s Motherboard that US defense secretary Chuck Hagel’s newly announced ‘Defense Innovation Initiative’ was really about building Skynet — or something like it, essentially to dominate an emerging era of automated robotic warfare.

That story was based on a little-known Pentagon-funded ‘white paper’ published two months earlier by the National Defense University (NDU) in Washington DC, a leading US military-run institution that, among other things, generates research to develop US defense policy at the highest levels. The white paper clarified the thinking behind the new initiative, and the revolutionary scientific and technological developments it hoped to capitalize on.

The Highlands Forum

The co-author of that NDU white paper is Linton Wells, a 51-year veteran US defense official who served in the Bush administration as the Pentagon’s chief information officer, overseeing the National Security Agency (NSA) and other spy agencies. He still holds active top-secret security clearances, and according to a report by Government Executive magazine in 2006 he chaired the ‘Highlands Forum’, founded by the Pentagon in 1994.

New Scientistmagazine (paywall) has compared the Highlands Forum to elite meetings like “Davos, Ditchley and Aspen,” describing it as “far less well known, yet… arguably just as influential a talking shop.” Regular Forum meetings bring together “innovative people to consider interactions between policy and technology. Its biggest successes have been in the development of high-tech network-based warfare.”

Given Wells’ role in such a Forum, perhaps it was not surprising that his defense transformation white paper was able to have such a profound impact on actual Pentagon policy. But if that was the case, why had no one noticed?

Despite being sponsored by the Pentagon, I could find no official page on the DoD website about the Forum. Active and former US military and intelligence sources had never heard of it, and neither did national security journalists. I was baffled.

The Pentagon’s intellectual capital venture firm

In the prologue to his 2007 book, A Crowd of One: The Future of Individual Identity, John Clippinger, an MIT scientist of the Media Lab Human Dynamics Group, described how he participated in a “Highlands Forum” gathering, an “invitation-only meeting funded by the Department of Defense and chaired by the assistant for networks and information integration.” This was a senior DoD post overseeing operations and policies for the Pentagon’s most powerful spy agencies including the NSA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), among others. Starting from 2003, the position was transitioned into what is now the undersecretary of defense for intelligence. The Highlands Forum, Clippinger wrote, was founded by a retired US Navy captain named Dick O’Neill. Delegates include senior US military officials across numerous agencies and divisions — “captains, rear admirals, generals, colonels, majors and commanders” as well as “members of the DoD leadership.”

What at first appeared to be the Forum’s main website describes Highlands as “an informal cross-disciplinary network sponsored by Federal Government,” focusing on “information, science and technology.” Explanation is sparse, beyond a single ‘Department of Defense’ logo.

But Highlands also has another website describing itself as an “intellectual capital venture firm” with “extensive experience assisting corporations, organizations, and government leaders.” The firm provides a “wide range of services, including: strategic planning, scenario creation and gaming for expanding global markets,” as well as “working with clients to build strategies for execution.” ‘The Highlands Group Inc.,’ the website says, organizes a whole range of Forums on these issue.

For instance, in addition to the Highlands Forum, since 9/11 the Group runs the ‘Island Forum,’ an international event held in association with Singapore’s Ministry of Defense, which O’Neill oversees as “lead consultant.” The Singapore Ministry of Defense website describes the Island Forum as “patterned after the Highlands Forum organized for the US Department of Defense.” Documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden confirmed that Singapore played a key role in permitting the US and Australia to tap undersea cables to spy on Asian powers like Indonesia and Malaysia.

The Highlands Group website also reveals that Highlands is partnered with one of the most powerful defense contractors in the United States. Highlands is “supported by a network of companies and independent researchers,” including “our Highlands Forum partners for the past ten years at SAIC; and the vast Highlands network of participants in the Highlands Forum.”

SAIC stands for the US defense firm, Science Applications International Corporation, which changed its name to Leidos in 2013, operating SAIC as a subsidiary. SAIC/Leidos is among the top 10 largest defense contractors in the US, and works closely with the US intelligence community, especially the NSA. According to investigative journalist Tim Shorrock, the first to disclose the vast extent of the privatization of US intelligence with his seminal book Spies for Hire, SAIC has a “symbiotic relationship with the NSA: the agency is the company’s largest single customer and SAIC is the NSA’s largest contractor.”

Richard ‘Dick’ Patrick O’Neill, founding president of the Pentagon’s Highlands Forum

The full name of Captain “Dick” O’Neill, the founding president of the Highlands Forum, is Richard Patrick O’Neill, who after his work in the Navy joined the DoD. He served his last post as deputy for strategy and policy in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence, before setting up Highlands.

The Club of Yoda

But Clippinger also referred to another mysterious individual revered by Forum attendees:

“He sat at the back of the room, expressionless behind thick, black-rimmed glasses. I never heard him utter a word… Andrew (Andy) Marshall is an icon within DoD. Some call him Yoda, indicative of his mythical inscrutable status… He had served many administrations and was widely regarded as above partisan politics. He was a supporter of the Highlands Forum and a regular fixture from its beginning.”

Since 1973, Marshall has headed up one of the Pentagon’s most powerful agencies, the Office of Net Assessment (ONA), the US defense secretary’s internal ‘think tank’ which conducts highly classified research on future planning for defense policy across the US military and intelligence community. The ONA has played a key role in major Pentagon strategy initiatives, including Maritime Strategy, the Strategic Defense Initiative, the Competitive Strategies Initiative, and the Revolution in Military Affairs.

In a rare 2002 profile in Wired, reporter Douglas McGray described Andrew Marshall, now 93 years old, as “the DoD’s most elusive” but “one of its most influential” officials. McGray added that “Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz” — widely considered the hawks of the neoconservative movement in American politics — were among Marshall’s “star protégés.”

Speaking at a low-key Harvard University seminar a few months after 9/11, Highlands Forum founding president Richard O’Neill said that Marshall was much more than a “regular fixture” at the Forum. “Andy Marshall is our co-chair, so indirectly everything that we do goes back into Andy’s system,” he told the audience. “Directly, people who are in the Forum meetings may be going back to give briefings to Andy on a variety of topics and to synthesize things.” He also said that the Forum had a third co-chair: the director of the Defense Advanced Research and Projects Agency (DARPA), which at that time was a Rumsfeld appointee, Anthony J. Tether. Before joining DARPA, Tether was vice president of SAIC’s Advanced Technology Sector.

The Highlands Forum’s influence on US defense policy has thus operated through three main channels: its sponsorship by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (around the middle of last decade this was transitioned specifically to the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, which is in charge of the main surveillance agencies); its direct link to Andrew ‘Yoda’ Marshall’s ONA; and its direct link to DARPA.

A slide from Richard O’Neill’s presentation at Harvard University in 2001

According to Clippinger in A Crowd of One, “what happens at informal gatherings such as the Highlands Forum could, over time and through unforeseen curious paths of influence, have enormous impact, not just within the DoD but throughout the world.” He wrote that the Forum’s ideas have “moved from being heretical to mainstream. Ideas that were anathema in 1999 had been adopted as policy just three years later.”

Although the Forum does not produce “consensus recommendations,” its impact is deeper than a traditional government advisory committee. “The ideas that emerge from meetings are available for use by decision-makers as well as by people from the think tanks,” according to O’Neill:

“We’ll include people from Booz, SAIC, RAND, or others at our meetings… We welcome that kind of cooperation, because, truthfully, they have the gravitas. They are there for the long haul and are able to influence government policies with real scholarly work… We produce ideas and interaction and networks for these people to take and use as they need them.”

My repeated requests to O’Neill for information on his work at the Highlands Forum were ignored. The Department of Defense also did not respond to multiple requests for information and comment on the Forum.

This Thursday, Earth Day, politicians and activists will shout more about “the climate crisis.”

I don’t think it’s a crisis. COVID-19, malaria, exploding debt, millions of poor children dying from diarrhea — those are genuine crises.

But global warming may become a real problem, so it’s particularly absurd that Earth Day’s activists rarely mention the form of energy that could most quickly reduce greenhouse gases: nuclear power.

When France converted to nuclear, it created the world’s fastest reduction in carbon emissions.

But in America, nuclear growth came to a near halt 40 years ago, after an accident at the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania.

The partial meltdown killed no one. It would probably have been forgotten had Hollywood not released a nuclear scare movie, “The China Syndrome,” days before.

“People saw that and freaked out,” complains Joshua Goldstein, author of “A Bright Future: How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change (with nuclear power).”

One of the people still freaking out is solar activist Harvey Wasserman. “I live in terror of the next accident,” he says in my latest video.

His anti-nuclear argument has basically won in most of the world. Nuclear plants are being shut down.

Why? I ask Wasserman. No one was hurt at Three Mile Island.

Wasserman replies that after the accident, he went to nearby homes and people showed him “their tumors, their hair loss, their lesions.”

“It’s bunk,” I tell him. “It’s been studied. People lose hair and get cancer and they attribute it to Three Mile Island, but it’s not true.”

“Having been there,” Wasserman responds, “It’s my clear assertion that people were killed.”

Actual scientists don’t agree. In fact, they find less cancer near Three Mile Island than in other parts of Pennsylvania.

But what about Fukushima? That was more serious. Today, clueless media quote Greenpeace claiming, Fukushima’s radiation could “change our DNA!”

Also bunk. “There was heightened radiation, but it was all at this low level below what we consider to be safe,” explains Goldstein.

The low level of radiation released at Fukushima was hardly a threat. What killed people was the panicked response.

“Everyone freaked out and ordered a massive sudden evacuation. That caused suicide, depression… Fear of radioactivity really did kill people.”

One nuclear accident, Chernobyl, did kill, and its radiation may still kill thousands more.

But Chernobyl was built by socialists cutting corners to please dictators. No Chernobyl-like plant will ever be built again. And even with Chernobyl’s deaths, nuclear power’s safety record is better than that of coal, oil, and natural gas.

“But what about the nuclear waste!” shout the activists.

“It’s a small problem,” says Goldstein. “All the nuclear waste from all America’s reactors for 60 years would fit into a Walmart.”

While the anti-nuclear movement has stopped nuclear construction in most of the West, “other places are building them like crazy,” says Goldstein. “China puts a nuclear reactor on the grid every two to three months.”

America may soon finish… one. It took Georgia Power Company six years just to get permission to build a plant. Regulation is so heavy that, 15 years later, it still isn’t operating.

Wasserman is proud he played a role in that. “If you want to accuse us of having raised the cost of building new nuclear plants by demanding more regulation, I plead guilty.”

He claims countries can power themselves with rooftop solar panels and wind. Technology improvements did lower their prices, but what happens when the wind doesn’t blow? Or the sun doesn’t shine?

Store energy in batteries! replies Wasserman. “We are having a major technological and industrial revolution in battery capacity.”

Goldstein scoffs in response, “The idea that a miracle battery is going to come along and save us is completely untested.”

By contrast, nuclear energy has been tested. It could reduce greenhouse gasses, and provide reliable energy, if only we didn’t fear it so much.

“The whole regulatory system is crazy,” Goldstein concludes. “We’re regulating this energy source as though it were the most dangerous thing out there, and it’s actually the safest thing!”

The link below contains both the video and transcript.  It’s a long speech. Some of it is boring … stuff that deals with Russia’s internal politics. some of it is far from boring … like international relations.  Might be worth your time to speed read through the transcript because, you know, a nuke war with Russia is increasingly being bandied around.  Here are some highlights:

================================= =

The vast majority of the country’s Soviet-era atomic stockpile will soon be replaced by modern weapons. Putin said, Russia;

“wants to have positive relationships with everyone on the international stage, including those with whom relations have broken down recently. We really don’t want to burn bridges.”

But, he cautioned that;

“those who mistake this stance for weakness need to know that Russia’s response to any aggression will be asymmetrical, swift and harsh.”

Sounds like a harsh warning. Anyone planning  provocations;

“will regret their deeds in a way they have not regretted anything else for a long time.”

Lots of new military hardware … two thirds of all Russian equipment will be new within the next 3 years, as well as 88% of its nukes;

—  advanced heavy ICBM RS-28 Sarmat missile, 15 warheads directed against individual targets and each deliver 350 kilotons, already being deployed

— ship-mounted missiles and other  “next-generation” projectiles

— a laser cannon which can shoot down both enemy aircraft and incoming missiles … already being deployed …. and more secret “hypersonic and laser”armaments the West doesn’t know about

Putin had a Red Line In The Sand … but, he ain’t saying what it is;

“We have patience, self-confidence and righteousness on our side. I hope no one will think of crossing red lines in their relations with Russia. Where that line sits is ours to determine.”

In 1996, Pastor John MacArthur preached a number of sermons called The Fulfilled Family. I quoted one in a post a few days ago. The first sermon in the series is called “A Plan For Your Family.” Feminism’s goal was to destroy the family, and they have been successful at doing this. When the family is destroyed, the nation is destroyed. We can’t expect to wander far from God’s design for us and have anything good come from it. Here’s a quote from the sermon:

“Dr. Armand Nicolai II, of Harvard Medical School, sees the trend to destroy the family as a devastating trend. He points to married women with children working outside the home. The tendency for families to move frequently, almost constantly. The dominance of television in the home. The lack of controls in society. The chaos of moral confusion, the lack of communication among families and divorce and all of those things, he says are threatening the very life which we live. Let me quote from him.

“He says, ‘These trends will incapacitate the family, destroy its integrity and cause its members to suffer such crippling emotional conflicts that they will become an intolerable burden to society. What about the future? First the quality of family life will continue to deteriorate, producing a society with a higher incidence of mental illness than ever before. Ninety five percent of our hospital beds may be taken up by mentally ill patients. This illness will be characterized by a lack of self-control. We can expect the assassination of people in authority to be frequent occurrences. Crimes of violence will increase, even those within the family. The suicide rate will rise, as sexuality becomes more and more unlimited and separated from family and emotional commitment, the deadening effect will cause more bizarre experimentation and wide spread perversion.’

“A frankly frightening picture and we are watching it being painted right before our very eyes. There is no question about the fact that the family is under a major assault that people want to redefine family in absolutely any terms they want. There is no question that we are watching a generation of young people rising up who have no socialization skills and no moral sense at all. There is chaos. There is murder. There is crime at a rampant level. There is even pleasure in shooting people incidental to you, just for the sheer thrill of killing.

“Sociologists, psychologists, analysts, and so called marriage and family experts, psychiatrists and all the rest are scrambling all over the place to try to come up with some kind of solution, and they have been doing that now for a couple of decades with absolutely no impact on the slide. Nothing that they are doing seems to slow down the process of the disintegration of human relationships at the very core of life which is the family. You can tamper with society in a lot of places, but if you destroy the family, you destroy society.”

God’s design for marriage is perfect. He created marriage and said it was good. It was not good for man to live alone, so He created a help meet for him. They are to become one flesh and raise godly offspring. The wife is to submit to the leadership of her husband and be a keeper at home. The husband is to protect and provide for his family. Sadly, many of those who claim to love Jesus Christ are not obeying His commands concerning family life. Older women need to teach young women biblical womanhood. We must go back to the old paths that God has laid out for us. In this way, we are lights in a crumbling, chaotic world.

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Jeremiah 6:16

Why is Our Culture Falling Into Chaos?

COVID VaccinesPeople make no sense …
by Jennifer(henrymakow.com)
I have had occasion to discuss the COVID vaccine with people who believe in it, who have already gotten and/or who plan to getting it.  
When I try to warn then of all the dangers and side effects including death 
Here are the responses I get. 
 “I hate my life –I would be grateful to die from the vaccine –it can’t be worse then my life” –50 year old male married computer engineer graduate degrees

“We all have to go sometime”  unknown woman 50s waiting in line at the pharmacy to get the COVID vaccine

“If its my time -then its my time I’m ready go…” 85 year old woman widowed, attorney – JD from University of Chicago 

“I don’t care if I die from COVID or the COVID vaccine –I’m just getting the vaccine so I don’t spread it to other people–a courtesy.”  -woman unmarried, 45 years old hispanic teacher. 

“Only a very small percentage die or have side-effects from the vaccine, but there is a bigger risk of dying from COVID.  So, it’s worth it to me to take the risk.  I already go my first shot.” 70 year old male unmarried attorney 
” I got the shot !  No mask.  I had to go out of my way to get my husband and I the shot. We drove to another county because its so packed with long lines in Los Angeles.” –60 something year old woman married, educated Middle Easterner.
One Week Later:  I run into this same woman in the park walking my dog and she is wearing a mask.  “I thought I wouldn’t have to wear the mask anymore. But now they are saying we still have to wear the mask…I got the shot because I was under the impression it would protect me from getting COVID and passing COVID –but evidently that is not the case… I don’t know why I got the shot …. Do you think the vaccine is dangerous ?”

My Reply: ” Yes, I think people who got the shot will be dead in six months to a year.”
The woman just wondered away from me in a state of disbelief and dissociation. Another woman in her 60s was in ear shot and she said thats not true. The vaccines are safe and they work.
Well we will see in one year who was right.

Yesterday, I shared a tweet by a man who goes by the name “King David – the Coach of Kings.” It read: “Unpopular opinion. Single mothers who ‘don’t need men’ are actively denying their sons the ability to become a man. Women cannot solely raise boys into men. They need a father, a father figure, or a masculine influence to enter manhood. Nothing else can replace it.”

This triggered many single mothers. I don’t see why, however. You would think that they would understand the need that boys have for a father. The statistics are very grim for those who are fatherless. It seems that rather than be offended by this, they would convicted to do all they could to have strong, good male role models in their lives.

63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.

90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.

85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control)

80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)

71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)

Women do need men. They need them to get pregnant and have a baby. The lie that feminism has caused them to believe that they don’t need men is a lie. BUT, they need good men. In order for them to find and marry a good man, they must become good too. How do they do this? By believing in Jesus Christ. Then His Spirit begins to work mightily within them. They need to work on becoming godly women before hoping to marry a godly man.

The breakdown of the family has been devastating upon this country. Feminism has been destructive upon this country. Marriages no longer last until death do they part. Millions of unborn babies have been slaughtered in their own mothers’ wombs. Children are left in daycares and godless public schools to be raised instead of at home with their mothers.

We, as believers in Jesus Christ, must obey God. Get married. Bear children. Raise them for the Lord. Be a keeper at home. His ways are so good and produce such good fruit. Our children and grandchildren are our greatest treasures in life!

Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
Proverbs 17:6

No One Can Replace a Father

In 1996, John MacArthur preached a series of sermons called The Fulfilled Family. In my opinion, his two sermons on God’s Pattern For Wives are my favorite sermons of his on this topic. Here are some quotes from Part 2 on this series.

“What kind of woman is the prototype of the ‘90s woman? What is the modern super-woman supposed to be? Maybe something like this: she works, builds her own career, demands equal pay, refuses to submit to her husband, demanding equality with him in everything, has an affair or two, and a divorce or two. She exercises her independence, relies on her own resources, doesn’t want her husband or children to threaten her personal goals, has her own bank account.

“She hires a maid or a cleaning service, eats out at least 50 percent of the time with her family or without them, makes cold cereal and coffee, the standard breakfast for her family, quick frozen meals usual dinner fare, or she calls Domino’s Pizza, and expects her husband to do his share of the housework. She is tanned, coiffured, aerobicized, into body-building shape, shops to keep up with the fashion trends, makes sure she can compete in the attention-getting contest, puts the kids in a day care center, makes sure each has a TV in his room, or a radio, or a CD player so they can be entertained. She is opinionated, demanding, wants to be heard, eager to fulfill all of her personal goals.

“That is the modern woman of the ‘90s that is applauded by the culture. She can’t stay married, or for that matter happy, and her kids get into trouble, and sometimes drugs. She’s far from the woman God has called the excellent woman.”

Now, he compares the modern woman to a godly woman:

“She is to the home keeper, to take care of her husband, to provide for him and for the children, all that they need as they live in that home. Materially, she is to take the resources the husband brings home and translate them into a comfortable and blessed life for her children. She is to take the spiritual things that she knows and learns and pass them on to her children. She is a keeper at home. God’s standard is for the wife and mother to work inside the home and not outside.

“For a mother to get a job outside the home in order to send her children even to a Christian school is to misunderstand her husband’s role as a provider, as well as her own duty to the family. The good training her children receive in the Christian school may be counteracted by her lack of full commitment to the biblical standards for motherhood. In addition to having less time to work at home and teach and care for her children, a wife working outside the home often has a boss to whom she is responsible for pleasing in the way she dresses and a lot of other matters, complicating the headship of her husband and compromising her own testimony. She is forced to submit to men other than her own husband, likely to become more independent, including financially in fragmenting the unity of the family. She is in the danger of becoming enamored by the business world or whatever world she’s in, and finding less and less satisfaction in her home responsibilities.

“Many studies have shown that most children who grow up in homes where the mother works are less secure than in those where mother is always at home. I think that should be obvious. Her presence there, even when the child is in school, is an emotional anchor. Working mothers contribute so often to delinquency and a host of other problems that lead to the decline of the family.

“It’s not that mothers who stay at home are automatically or categorically more spiritual. Many mothers who have never worked outside the home do very little in the home to strengthen their families: gossiping, watching ungodly and immoral soap operas and a host of other things can be as destructive as a working mother. But a woman’s only opportunity to fulfill God’s plan for her role as wife and mother is in the home.”

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
1 Timothy 5:14

The Modern Super Woman Compared to the Godly Woman

Dongsheng makes it clear that the Chinese are fully aware that for almost 50 years, Jews have been subversively using their control over America to try and ingratiate themselves with China’s political elites.

Chinese Official: We Subvert America Through Wall Street Jews

by Eric Striker  (Dec 2020)(henrymakow.com)

A Tucker Carlson segment putting the spotlight on a November 28th, 2020 talk by Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) foreign relation’s expert, Di Dongsheng, is being circulated throughout social media, including by Donald Trump.

According to Carlson, the video reveals that Joe Biden and his supporters are agents of the Chinese government.
What was dishonestly edited out of the segment was what professor Dongsheng really said: Joe Biden is controlled by Wall Street Jews, who the CCP deal with directly when they need something from America.
Dongsheng recounts his experiences with an “old friend,” an American power broker who, in the original video, he mockingly describes as a “big nosed Jew”that speaks fluid Mandarin and has been trading influence over the US government in exchange for a foothold in China over the years.
During the speech, he talks about his initial reluctance when the Jew told him that she was a Chinese citizen, as dual citizenship is illegal in China. Dongsheng hints at homegrown corruption going back to the 1970s, stating that it is otherwise unlikely the figure in question would sacrifice her “Israeli or American” citizenship.

While Dongsheng does not specify who this person is, some are speculating that it is Roberta Lipson, left, a US Chamber of Commerce figure who serves as CEO of Chindex International in Beijing.
What is most striking about the video in question is that Dongsheng makes it clear that the Chinese are fully aware that for almost 50 years, Jews have been subversively using their control over America to try and ingratiate themselves with China’s political elites.
The CCP expert goes on to speculate that China’s “old friends” have been less effective in winning them concessions in recent years due to what he assumes is the waning influence of Wall Street.
Experts in the United States disagree, however. Permanent Washington under Biden is expected to maintain Trump’s aggressive posture towards China for the foreseeable future.
Yesterday, Democrats and Republicans voted together to bring the entire population of Hong Kong to the United States. The bill’s sponsor, New Jersey Democrat Tom Malinowski, rationalized the decision using Cold War rhetoric.
It’s increasingly looking like China’s Jewish “friends” are starting to give up on ever gaining an upper hand over the world’s oldest continuous civilization. The powerful state, its control over the economy and media, and the turn towards ethno-nationalism inside the CCP under Xi Jinping, who Jeffrey Goldberg’s influential Atlantic recently accused of being inspired by the philosophy of the Nazis, is closing tried and true vectors traditionally used by Jewish interlopers.
China’s assertion as a military and economic superpower is also a problem for the Zionist-liberal world order. China has become a vital military and economic lifeline for Iran and has been supportive of Basher Assad’s government against America and ISIS in Syria throughout the civil war. China also exerts enormous economic influence over Israel, a potential checkmate officials in both America and Israel are desperate to break out of.
Bringing the ascendant Chinese to heel is beginning to look like an impossible task. China is not America. World Jewry may have just met its match.

In an ever-growing effort to provide valuable weather information — or just a vulgar display of automated GIS skills — the National Weather Service is tweeting out images that show how many people are impacted by severe weather. The exercise shows just how little of the United States is populated.

The United States is home to over 318 million people and 2.27 billion acres of land. By 2003, we had only developed about 108 million acres, or about 4.47% of the total land area of the United States. The map above is a great way to visualize that unused land — the areas highlighted in green show all of the U.S. Census blocks that show a population of zero. 

That’s a lot of land we don’t use, and it’s apparent in the National Weather Service’s impact based statistics product.

The graphics, automatically tweeted out by @NWSTornado, are mostly generated for tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings, showing the radar image at the time of the warning’s issuance, the warning box itself, a population density map of the area affected, and some statistics of the areas impacted by the expected severe weather, or…impact based statistics.

Here’s a tornado warning from a couple of days ago around Moline, Illinois. The warning covered 71,248 residents, 20 miles of interstate, one hospital, and 39 miles of railroad.

Here’s another one covering Madison, Wisconsin. Almost 314,000 people were impacted by the warning, as were 80 public schools, one airport, and seven hospitals. 

Thankfully, these are the exception. The vast majority of the 700+ impact based statistics graphics published by this Twitter account over the past few weeks affected less than one or two thousand people. 

Population: 2

Population: 14

Population: 5

Population: 20

Population: 2

For as telling as it is that the land is so unpopulated, it’s also a comforting thought that whether severe weather threatens 314,000 people in Madison, Wisconsin or two people who live in rural Butte County, South Dakota, forecasters issue advanced warning to the best of their ability regardless of population or location. The graphics prove that the agency lives up to its mission statement of, among other things, “the protection of life and property.”

In an article in WSJ called “Cheap Sex and the Decline of Marriage,” you will find that the free, cheap sex that feminism promoted is not so cheap. There are some very interesting facts in this article that isn’t even written from a Christian perspective.

A man named Kevin said this, “Girls are easier to mislead than guys just by lying or just not really caring. If you know what girls want, then you know you should not give that to them until the proper time. If you do that strategically, then you can really have anything you want…whether it’s a relationship, sex, or whatever. You have the control.”

He knows girls are easier to mislead than guys. One of the reasons that God forbids women from teaching men or being in authority over them is because women are more easily deceived (1 Timothy 2:14). God created us more emotional in order to be home with children. It’s our nature. Rather than fighting it, it’s best to admit it so we can be aware of this fact. Women have been heavily deceived by feminism and have lost everything good in life as a result.

“For American men, sex has become rather cheap. As compared in the past, many women today expect little in return for sex, in terms of time, attention, commitment or fidelity. Men, in turn, do not feel compelled to supply these goods as they once did. It is the new sexual norm for Americans, men and women alike, of every age.”

I expected a LOT in return for sex as a young woman. I expected a ring on my finger and an “I do until death do we part.” I am thankful that I was wise enough to understand this fact even though I grew up in a very promiscuous high school with very promiscuous friends. I dated two guys in high school. They both wanted to have sex with me, but I wouldn’t let them. They both wanted to marry me.

“This transformation was driven in part by birth control. Its widespread adoption by women in recent decades not only boosted their educational and economic fortunes but also reduced their dependence on men. As the risk of pregnancy radically declined, sex shed many of the social and personal costs that once encouraged women to wait.”

Birth control has been so incredibly destructive. Radical feminists brought it to America in order to “free” women. All it did was enslave women to a nine to five job and working for a boss, without a faithful husband and children to care for at home.

“Many young men and women still aspire to marriage as it has long been conventionally understood – faithful, enduring, focused on raising children. But they no longer seem to think that this aspiration requires their discernment, prudence or self-control.”

This aspiration definitely includes discernment, prudence, AND self-control. Women must be discerning in the men whom they may want to marry. They must be prudent with their behavior and keep themselves modest and chaste IF they want to marry a good, godly man. Self-control is desperately needed in order to attain these goals.

“Kristin (29 year old woman) rightly wants the men who she dates to treat her well and to respect her interests, but the choices that she and other women have made unwittingly teach the men in their lives that such behavior is noble and nice but not required in order to sleep with them. They are hoping to find good men without supporting the sexual norms that would actually make men better.”

Feminism wants its cake and eat it too, but it doesn’t work that way. An eternal principle is that we will reap what we sow. Feminists are reaping the godless, ugly fruit they have sown. Don’t be one of them. Seek God’s ways instead.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour.
1 Thessalonians 4:3,4

There’s No Such Thing as Cheap Sex
